Xie Ming

A single horse came south to cross the Zhejiang River, and the palaces of Biancheng were majestic and distant.

Who among the generals of the Restoration surrendered to the invaders? The treacherous ministers who betrayed the country advocated peace talks.

Yellow leaves are covered by cold rain, and green hills and desolate tombs are covered with white clouds.

How can I leave Zhuxian Town without seeing the general's victory song?

Time flies, and it is November 17th in a blink of an eye!
The wise men such as Xiao, Qi, Sun and Ma thought that they had made a lot of progress and that this process was promising.

So on the day of the banquet, the southern army secretly pushed northward. To the east of the original Zhuxian Town, there was a branch river, which was the Nanluo branch of the Yellow River.

Crossing the river to the east bank is the area of ​​Lan Yang.

This time, in order to cooperate with the commander-in-chief in advancing northward, Sun Peizhong personally led a strong force of more than a thousand people and hid between Lanyang and Suicheng.

However, Yuan Ping and his elite cavalry were more capable of providing support than those at Lin'an.

Because the cavalry is quick and has been deployed here before, they are familiar with the terrain and routes in this area and are the most suitable.

Early noon (around 11:00 a.m.).

Xiao Jingchuan ignored the opposition and arranged a small boat to cross the river to meet him in Zhuxian Town.

The only people he brought with him were Hu Chen, Chang Ting, Qi Gang and Yuan Ping.

As for Chang Ting and Qi Gang, there is no need to say much, they are what I should bring with me on this trip.

As for Yuan Ping, he heard so much news that he was not at ease and insisted on following up.

Then let's talk about Li Huchen. Why did this black guy appear in front of him at this time when he had traveled hundreds of miles?

In fact, this situation was also the result of the later discussions of Qi Gang, Pei Zhong, Ming Lu and others. They felt that Hu Chen was overly domineering and a black tower-like figure, and having him standing beside him would be more likely to cause trouble.

After all, this journey is full of dangers. Chang Ting has extraordinary skills, but it is difficult to intimidate people. If Hu Chen and Yuan Ping follow him, they will be strong, have a dark face, green face, fangs, and murderous eyes.

There's no need to take any action. Just put these two giant Buddhas there and even Wu Laosan, who is within twenty steps, will be so frightened that he won't dare to take any risk.

Next, let’s trace back to what happened to Qiu and Xie in Kaifeng two days ago.

It was said that on the night of the fifteenth, Xie Sufu, desperate, resorted to internal fighting, and after he scored a goal against Qiu Maohua, he was also captured.

Qiu Maohua, on the contrary, was able to escape based on this information, and ordered Feng San, the medical officer of the yamen, to pass on the wind.

But this person and this matter, once bad luck comes, even drinking water will get stuck in your teeth.

The letter was reported to a trusted servant, but when the servant took the paper and tried to rush through the customs to deliver it, he was stopped before reaching the customs.

After trying every possible means, he finally managed to leave the city on the 16th day of the next day. However, he encountered a rebellion on the way, and some soldiers were killed in the countryside to claim credit for their crimes. He was slaughtered for nothing on the way.

The human head was counted among the villagers killed.

There is no need to further investigate this matter.

So, wait until the seventeenth day.

Qiu Xin'er hadn't arrived yet, but Xiao Lang had already arrived.

The river waves hit the shore with strong winds, and the boat goes against the rippling waves.

After noon, in front of the water ferry in Zhuxian Town, west of the river, a battalion of Wu Sangui's troops set up camp facing the water, waiting there.

To the east, at the end of the bridge, there are two rows of garrison soldiers with heroic appearance and many flags hoisted, which looks very grand.

At this moment, at the nearest ferry, Wu Sangui was waiting in person to greet him, and he had been waiting there for a long time.

From his face, he looked haggard, with a complicated expression, and remained silent.

Only when the east wind blows occasionally, he squints his eyes to avoid the sand, with a fierce look in his eyes, which adds a bit of viciousness and decisiveness.

A moment passed.
The southern ship has not yet arrived.

The leader was pushed to the shore, and Xie Sufu, dressed in an official robe and black boots, looked very respectable, but he started to make trouble on purpose.

He was restless and nervous, pacing back and forth in front of people.

When he felt that his performance was powerful enough, he turned around and ran back towards Wu Sangui, taking advantage of the moment when the two guards on the side were not paying attention.

"Hey! Stop right there! Stop right there!"

Seeing this unexpected situation, the guards were horrified and started to chase after him.

But Wu Sangui stood firmly in his place and, seeing that Xie Sufu had something to say, he waved his hand and told his men to stop the arrest for the time being.

After all, at this moment, the final push was needed, and asking Xie Sufu to wait in the front was to give the other party peace of mind. This role was probably the final value of Xie Sufu.

Therefore, Wu Sangui did not want to make any mistake in this regard.

However, although Xie Sufu is not very capable, he is very clear about this little plan.

How could he not know why he was here in court robes?
If I continue to waste time like this without thinking of a way to escape, I might really lose my life.

So, Old Xie, who was used to holding back, took the initiative.

"Hey hey hey"

"Wu, Marshal Wu, Marshal Wu."

"When will this Governor Xiao from the south arrive?"

"I have been waiting with the people in front of me for a long time."

"Then, what is that?"

"Haha, this person has three urgent things to do. Marshal Wu, I... I need to relieve myself."

"Please be flexible. We haven't arrived yet anyway. Let me go and take care of it first, so as not to lose my composure later, okay?!"

"You see?"

Xie Sufu pretended to be uncomfortable and disliked, and acted stupidly, hoping to take this opportunity to pee and escape.

However, Wu Sangui was a man of vicious eyes and cruel heart, so how could he be willing to fall for this guy's unconventional tricks?

"Hmph!" He sneered, his face full of disgust.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie, why are you carrying someone on your back when you're just peeing?"

"Look around, they are all men in my camp, let's deal with them right here."

"General Xiao will be here soon, and you are an important figure in the matchmaking process, so just be patient for now, ok?!"

Wu Sangui stared fiercely and his tone was full of disdain.

Although he tried to hold back and be polite as the pressure from the enemy was getting stronger, Xie Sufu still felt frightened when he heard it, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Ah, uh"

"Hi!"

"Ma-Massahib, no, it's not."

"I, I need to poop."

"This, this is not good. This is in public, it's disrespectful."

Xie Sufu suppressed the horror in his heart. In order to save his life, he risked everything, no matter how disgusting it was.

What I meant was that, by doing this despicable and disgusting act, I could make Guo'er look down on me and escape in order to benefit myself.

Can!
Obviously, Wu Sangui did not want to give him any chance and immediately silenced him with harsh words.

"Xie Sufu, I advise you not to refuse a toast and drink a forfeit!"

"When you do something, think more about your wife and children."

"Today's meeting is a big deal."

"If you dare to make trouble again at this moment, I will chop you into pieces as a sacrifice!"

After saying this, Wu, to show his aggressive attitude, grasped the blade at the base of his waist and suddenly pulled it up, revealing a short blade with its sharp edge.

"Hey, this, this"

"I say, Marshal Wu, the one who communicated with them in the past was Old Qiu. Qiu Maohua's affairs really had nothing to do with me. I was just a handyman and didn't do anything myself."

"Even if I put it in front of you, it's useless. People may not buy into my story."

"I, I really have shit in here, it's all up to my butt!"

"Ouch, ouch!"
