Chinese dining table

Chapter 551
After eating and drinking, Di Renjie and his party started to walk towards the place where there were still shouts and the sound of clashing weapons.

After approaching, I found that the dry yellow earth was covered with dead bodies. I counted them and found that they were the same group of people who had just chased them.

There were sixteen people just now, but now there are sixteen corpses, not one of them is missing, but their mounts are missing.

Yin Erhu looked at the dust raised by the galloping horses in the distance, looked at Di Renjie resentfully and said, "My lord, they ran away."

Di Renjie squatted on the ground, looked at the corpse in bright armor that had been forcibly torn apart from between the legs, shook his head and said, "They can't run away."

Yin Erhu whispered: "Just watch them die like this?"

Di Renjie said coldly: "Some people are better off dead than alive."

Yin Erhu was stunned for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, why do we still have to catch up?"

Di Renjie said: "Protect the people of Wannian County from harm."

After finishing speaking, he took the reins of the war horse from the shopkeeper, and chased closely with Yin Erhu and his party in the direction where the smoke flew up.

When Li Hong came outside the city, he looked at the corpses neatly arranged on the ground, from the beginning to the end, and finally saw several corpses that had been torn apart by life, so he cried loudly with a "wow".

I don't know whether it is caused by fear, or pity for my subordinates.

Zhang Ren, the sixth general of the East Palace who had been kept by Li Hong's side as a squire, saw the corpses of his comrades all over the floor, coupled with the crying of the crown prince, his eyes suddenly turned red, and the terrifying scar on his face disappeared. It started to turn red, and she knelt down in front of Li Hong on one knee and said, "Your Highness, please allow the last general to fight, and I will definitely kill this beast."

Before Li Hong could speak, Cheng Chun, Li Hong's personal eunuch, said in a low voice: "You are His Highness's servant, if you don't guard His Highness, where are you going?"

Zhang Ren got up slowly and retreated behind Li Hong, only crunching the horse in his hand.

Cheng Chun looked at a young general with a pale complexion in hot weather on the left and said: "General Wen, you have always boasted that you are unparalleled in swords and horses, and you will catch the assassins, and the heavy responsibility of avenging your comrades falls on you."

Wen Ruhu looked around, and found that the brothers who used to chat and laugh, and exchanged cups and cups all lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to look at him, so they cupped their hands at Cheng Chun and said: "The general thinks that at this moment, in the future Protecting His Highness's safety is the top priority."

At this time, Li Hong, whose eyes were red from crying, raised his head and shouted at Wen Ruhu: "I don't need to protect you, General Wen, go and get the heads of these thieves back to the lonely king, General Sun and the others died miserable— —”

Wen Ruhu still wanted to speak, but found that Zhang Ren behind His Royal Highness was staring at him fiercely. As long as he disobeyed His Royal Highness, this stubborn Zhang Ren would definitely tear him apart on the spot.

Then he yelled and rushed forward with the fifteen people he personally recruited. He had already made up his mind to run around in the wilderness for a while, and when he came back, he just said he couldn't find them.

General Xin Mao, the attendant, was not worried about the situation in front of him. Those big cannibals were nothing more than trapped beasts, and they were already surrounded by strong men from Wannian County.

If it wasn't for his insistence on not wanting to use the military force on the edge of Qujiang Pond, these big cannibals would have been chopped into mincemeat by Yunchu and the others long ago.

Since His Highness the Crown Prince wants to use these people to test the combat power of his Prince Six Rates, Xin Mao will feel that it is necessary to let His Highness know that his Prince Six Rates are actually a group of embroidered pillows, lest the Prince think that those people are gangsters It is a tool that gives birth to thoughts that should not be born.

Just seeing the crown prince standing in front of a pile of corpses crying sadly, I couldn't help but say to Xu Jingzong: "Look at the crown prince, only Zhang Ren is a strong general, why doesn't the crown prince send strong generals and always send some weaklings?" Where is the chicken going to fight?"

At this time, Xu Jingzong had a clear understanding of the ins and outs of what happened today, and he said with a smile: "In the past, Emperor Taizong led a hundred cavalry into the battle to destroy Dou Jiande. , it's not worth it.

As a result, Emperor Taizong refused to listen. Although Dou Jiande was defeated in the end, Emperor Taizong survived from death. If Emperor Taizong's fortune was not with Emperor Taizong, I don't know what the situation in Tang Dynasty would be like now.

A gentleman is heavy and safe from danger. This is what the old man focused on when he was teaching the prince. Now, His Royal Highness has followed the old man's teachings and will keep those who can fight and dare to fight by his side to ensure that he is safe and let those who boast Is there anything wrong with the younger generation entering the battle to defeat the enemy? "

Xin Maojiang said contemptuously: "You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you taught this to the prince."

Xu Jingzong stroked his beard proudly and said, "As you said, the overlord of Western Chu will have a good ending?"

General Xin Mao let out a long sigh and said, "Why does this old man always feel that you are misleading your son?"

Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "Teaching the king should not be regarded as ordinary people's thinking. There are people like Gou Jian and Han Xin in the front. It is not wrong for me to teach the prince to cherish his life.

Even though this old man is older than you, however, this old man will definitely die later than you. After you die, this old man will write a biography for you. The honor and disgrace of your death will be all in the old man's mind. This is the benefit of living a long life. "

While the two were talking, Wen Ruhu accidentally ran into a fleeing cannibal, and within a short fight with the cannibal, his arm was cut off and he fled...

Li Hong cried even louder when he heard the words, Zhang Ren couldn't bear the shame, took off his armor, exposed his upper body covered with scars and roared angrily: "Your Highness is humiliated, it's time for me to die."

Although Li Hong was crying tears, Cheng Chun still forcefully suppressed Zhang Ren to put His Highness's safety first and not to leave.

Xu Jingzong praised loudly for being a spring companion, but Xin Maojiang's eyes showed a little doubt.

Cheng Chun expelled all the guys who surrounded the prince and pretended to be very vigilant, and told them that if they couldn't bring back the head of the cannibal, they wouldn't have to enter the East Palace again.

Seeing hundreds of people riding horses towards the field, and seeing Zhang Ren walking around like a tiger, Xin Maojiang's heart skipped a beat.

He finally remembered that many of the prince's six leaders were not selected by the prince himself, but this Zhang Ren, who, with [-] subordinates, traveled almost all over the western region to find onions for the prince and killed people like hemp. A real can-shoot titan.

He is a confidant warrior personally selected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Could it be that...His Royal Highness is eliminating dissidents?
However, looking at the prince who seemed a little weak because he was crying for too long, he was leaning on Zhang Ren at this time. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like someone who could do such a bloody method of eliminating dissidents.

"Your Highness is eliminating dissidents."

Xu Jingzong saw the doubts that Xin Mao had hidden in his heart at this time, so he boldly solved them for him.

When Xin Maojiang heard the words, a chill rose in his heart, and he looked at Xu Jingzong awe-inspiringly.

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "The wisdom of His Royal Highness is something I have only seen in my life. It is a common thing to have a photographic memory. It is even more rare to draw inferences from one instance. Often there are other ways to interpret the words of sages.

Nowadays, dissatisfied with the six leaders of the Eastern Palace, who are full of wine bags and rice bags, and they are decisive in killing, what's so strange? "

General Xin Mao's mouth trembled twice before he was about to speak, when Xu Jingzong said again: "Your Majesty is no less wise than Emperor Taizong, and His Royal Highness is even more powerful than your ancestors. Things are enough, why bother? Only His Majesty can say whether His Highness is right or wrong, so what shall I say?

Could it be that, do you think there is something wrong with His Highness clearing the East Palace of wine bags and rice bags? "

Xin Maojiang looked at His Highness the Crown Prince who was crying and almost passed out, and said in a low voice, "You are the Taifu, you should warn Your Highness that using onion and ginger to injure the eyes and cause tears is not good for the eyes."

Xu Jingzong looked at the corpses all over the ground, and said disdainfully: "They can get a few tears from the prince, and they can be regarded as honoring the ancestors."

Seeing more than a dozen Dong Gongliu, who knew they were in a dead end, fled desperately, Li Hong put away his tears, looked at the approaching big cannibal with red and swollen eyes, and shouted loudly: "Come on!" , the lonely king is not afraid!"

Zhang Ren held a horse spear and rode his horse forward to shout at the Six Leaders of Donggong who had escaped for their lives: "Turn around and meet the enemy, fight to the death, and kill anyone who dares to take a step back!"

A general who ran the fastest turned a deaf ear to Zhang Ren's words, ran back and shouted at Zhang Ren: "General Zhang, help me."

Zhang Ren didn't answer, and when the two horses crossed with this person, he swung his horse lance, and the person's head was cut off by Zhang Ren's long horse lance blade, and he flew up into the air and finally fell into the dust.

Seeing that Zhang Ren blocked the retreat, the prince's six people shouted in despair one by one. Some people rushed out from the slanting spurs, and escaped without a trace. The fierce big cannibal killed the past.

Xu Jingzong and General Xin Mao are both used to battles, so they don't care about these big food thieves who are running towards them. Lustful and timid as a mouse, the way he stood in front of Li Hong with a horizontal knife in his hand at this time actually looked heroic.

Yun Chu in the distance saw this scene clearly, couldn't help sighing and said to Di Renjie beside him: "He deserves to be the prime minister."

Di Renjie snorted and said: "I arranged such a big battle, I thought I could see the ugly appearance of Xu Jingzong or General Xin Mao, but I didn't expect to be used by these two old thieves."

Yun Chu jumped on the bay red horse, laughed loudly and said, "Nine times out of ten things go wrong in this world, it's not bad if half of the goal is achieved."

Seeing Lord Hou galloping away on horseback, Yin Erhu asked Di Renjie, "What are we doing?"

Di Renjie said angrily: "Go home and sleep!"

Yin Erhu saw that Di Renjie's face was not good-looking, so he shrunk his neck and led the people along the ditch towards Qujiang.

The big cannibal stopped at a distance from Zhang Ren's arrow. These big guys with gray cloth wrapped around their heads lined up in a neat line. After drinking it, it also made a sound like howling wolves.

Xin Maojiang looked at the fearless Xu Jingzong beside him and said, "Do you think it's really reached the point where even the two of us have to fight the enemy?"

Xu Jingzong turned his mouth to the left and said: "The thugs are here, there is no need for us to go out. It is right to do so. The two of us going into battle to kill the enemy will not be good for Datang's face."

Xin Maojiang turned his head and looked to the left, and saw Yun Chu in full armor galloping from there with a horse spear, the sun behind him shone on his pitch-black armor, he couldn't see his face clearly, he just felt This guy is amazing.

Yun Chu galloped over on horseback, saluted the prince and said, "My minister is late to save you, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Li Hongda cried: "General Yun, my people died so badly."

Yun Chu looked at the corpses on the ground that attracted many flies and said, "The incompetent will die when he dies. Your Highness will just change to a group of warriors in the future."

Xu Jingzong put the horizontal knife back into the scabbard slowly, and said sarcastically: "Finally, the county magistrate gave me some kind of favor, and didn't let me kill the enemy with my old body, and I would lose face of Datang."

Yun Chu laughed out loud, closed his top armor, clasped his fists on the horse and said, "The second and third sons are playing in front of the army, please come up and watch."

General Xin Mao shouted: "Quickly kill this beast, the old man is in a hurry to urinate."
