Daming King of Punishment

"If the commanding officer and the appeasement envoy are here, it must be much easier to handle. Although we were highly regarded by the Tongzhi adults in the past, we don't know anything about leading troops to fight! Now there is such a situation , That's as it should be! I think the only way out for us now is to stick to Yingtian City, wait for the imperial reinforcements to arrive, and let those generals who have led troops decide!"

"Hey! That's right! Apart from this, there is another way. That is to let Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo come out and let them take the blame for us. I heard that one of them was in Yingzhou last year and the other In Jizhou, they wiped out the Wuliangjiao army. Since they have this ability, why not let them lead the army. Whether we win or lose, it will be beneficial to us."

"Why didn't you say it just now? What's the use of saying it now? Or go to Master Tongzhi? In this way, it will be our credit if we win the Wuliangjiao. If we don't suppress the Wuliangjiao, we will say that they lost the command." Enough."

"Haha! That's right, that's what I mean."

These people avoided other people and chatted about some inner thoughts. In the end, they had a better way to do it.

Several people laughed, thinking that this method was good, and encouraged the previous person to go to Zhao Qiong, the acquaintance of the commander, to express their thoughts.

But that person didn't dare to say it at this time, for fear of causing trouble.

As they said, if you don't talk about it before, you will talk about it now. If Zhao Qiong is suspicious of this, then he can't bear it and walk away.

Chapter 85 Interception

?Chapter 85 Interception

Zhao Qiong summoned the people below, and after a brief discussion, it was considered a result.

Facing the sudden offensive of the Wuliangjiao, he was a little bit unable to resist.More than half of the court troops brought in had been consumed, and now he did not dare to move the remaining people randomly.

The towns originally occupied outside the city have been taken back by the Wuliang Sect, and they have lost a lot of troops. It can be said that the little credit they had originally had is gone now.

Fortunately, they already have a new countermeasure. Next, they must stick to Yingtian City and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court.

Jin Yiwei, who came aggressively, no longer had the initial arrogance, and they had already begun to worry in their hearts.

At the same time, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, who had nothing to do, felt depressed, but they were able to think about it.They knew that no matter what they did at this time, it would be of no avail, especially Song Wuya, who was even more aware that even if reinforcements from the imperial court came, it would have nothing to do with the two of them, so they did not hold any hope.

Compared to Bai Zhuo, the imperial court's reinforcements are his greatest hope.

The night wind blows past, so that the sultry summer can bring bursts of coolness this night.This time was supposed to be a lively time, but no one dared to show up on the streets at night.

Ying Tianfu is still safe, even if people are panicked, not everyone is worried that there will be a war.

In the tavern on the street, by the dim candlelight inside, many people gathered together to drink liquor.

Compared with the noisy and noisy appearance in the past, even if they had drunk at this moment, they did not dare to shout loudly.

Even though the bustle of the past was gone, a drunkard paid for the drink, picked up the remaining half pot of liquor, and staggered towards the outside of the tavern.

As soon as the night wind blew, the drunkard who was drinking, his face flushed, his ears red, and his body sweating profusely, was shocked by the cold wind, and immediately shivered.I just felt a cloud in my belly, a belch came up, and an unpleasant smell was blown away by the night wind.

The drunkard hiccupped with an uh sound, suddenly grinned, and walked towards the alley ahead in the dark.

Before reaching the entrance of the alley, he raised the half jug of wine in his hand and took another sip.Immediately, he stuffed it under his armpit and clamped it tightly with his arms, and these two hands began to untie the waistband of his trousers.

Walking into the alley while untying it, he shouted that for this reason, he didn't care if there was anyone in there, just intuitively felt comfortable.

Walking inside, the drunkard stood still and moved cautiously, for fear that if he trembled, the jug under his arm would fall down.In his night, this wine was the most precious thing, how could he let it spill?

The drunkard wobbled, his head almost hit the brick wall a few times, but fortunately he came back after a while.

Suddenly, there was a crisp cracking sound. It was heard that this sound came from the alley where the drunkard was going to pee just now.The clear and crisp movement in this life was obviously that the jug he was holding fell to the ground.The ceramic jug was able to withstand such a fall, and it was broken into several pieces, and half of the jug of white wine also flowed to the ground.

It stands to reason that if the jug fell, the drunkard should have yelled, but who would have thought that the drunkard didn't yell.He didn't call out, but the figure hidden in the night straightened and fell backwards, making a loud noise.

It turned out that the drunkard was completely drunk, so he let the flagon drop to the ground without making a sound of regret.

The drunkard fell heavily and didn't struggle to get up. He was about to lie down here tonight.Suddenly a black figure appeared beside him, bent down and helped the drunkard up, helped him out of the alley and walked towards the street.

On the empty street, no one noticed what happened here just now. The man led the drunkard who was unconscious, and walked forward quickly.It's just that where the two of them walked, something seemed to drip down.

Early the next morning, before dawn, the guards knocked on Song Wuya's door.

Suddenly, something urgent happened to disturb Song Wuya's dream.

With a creak, the door was gently opened, Song Wuya let out a sleepy face, and squinted at the head of the guard at the door.

"What's the matter with the leader? Is there any news from outside the city?"

Song Wuya didn't care that the chief of the imperial guards came to him early in the morning for any important purpose.

The leader of the imperial guards directly shook his head, and without waiting for Song Wuya to ask him any more, he took the initiative to say: "Early this morning, the gate of Yingtian City was opened, and a team came in from outside the city. dispatched from outside."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Song Wuya's mind gradually came to his senses. "In other words, the Jinyiwei has been put under too much pressure from the outside world. They plan to stick to Yingtian Mansion and wait for the imperial reinforcements. Then it is too dangerous for them to do so. If they are sent back by the Wuliang outside the city How about intercepting and killing them with our army?"

"My lord, since they have returned to Yingtian City safely, the Wuliang Sect must have no plans to intercept and kill them." The leader of the imperial guards did not have such worries as Song Wuya.

Hearing this, Song Wuya immediately shook his head: "I'm afraid things will go bad!"

"By the way, my lord!" Seeing Song Wuya's decision, the head of the guards didn't refute anything, but continued to talk about what he wanted to report. "Found a dead body in the alley outside of us!"

"What? A corpse?" Song Wuya was shocked when he heard this, which made him very incomprehensible.

Why is there a dead body in the alley outside their door at this time?

The leader of the guards shook his head: "It is indeed a corpse, and it is a male corpse. It should have died last night. It was full of alcohol, and it must have been drunk a lot. The wound was on the neck, and it was an extremely sharp wound. His dagger was cut, and the blood had already drained dry, and we found the tavern he went to yesterday along the bloodstains left on the ground. But the identity of this person is still unknown, should we take care of this case?"

"In this way, the corpse should not have been outside our door, but someone deliberately brought the corpse here. Obviously they are trying to cause trouble for us, so we can't take care of this matter. You must be involved in this matter. I am afraid it is the same as those who deliberately lured us out before!"

This matter is definitely not simple, Song Wuya quickly thought of the guy who wanted to send them to the Guanshan Restaurant twice before.

From this point of view, they must be the Wuliangjiao deliberately finding fault with them, trying to let Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo stand out.

Since the murder happened, we can't just ignore it, right?But they are not the ones currently sitting in Yingtian Mansion. After thinking about it, Song Wuya still thinks that this matter should be reported to the officials, and let Jin Yiwei handle it.

"It's very possible!" The head of the guard nodded in agreement.

Song Wuya had just made a decision, so he said: "Report to the officials immediately and let Jin Yiwei handle this matter. We will continue to stay out of it."

"Okay, I understand." The head of the imperial guards immediately nodded in response to Song Wuya's arrangement and then retreated.

At the same time, on Jin Yiwei's side, Song Wuya's serious expression was no longer there.

The secret order sent out last night was originally planned to be sent to the farthest garrison, but Zhao Qiong did not have such patience, and directly sent two orders, one to the farthest and one to the nearest.

These two secret orders were sent out, and the nearest one returned to Yingtian City after receiving the secret orders.Just now, they successfully entered Yingtian City.

Early in the morning, almost at the same time as Song Wuya, Zhao Qiong also got the news.

"This is really great! In this way, we will have the strength to defend Ying Tian Mansion!"

Zhao Chuan was very happy to see the returning general returning to him.

"Wuliangjiao! Wuliangjiao!" Zhao Qiong smiled triumphantly: "Yesterday I was still worried that you would predict our layout and make some moves to intercept our manpower. Unexpectedly, you didn't I don’t have such a brain, I can’t predict the plan of this commander at all! Immediately send orders to all places, ordering them to gather in one place and return to Yingtian City as soon as possible.”
