feud

Wang Bing was used to his tendency to pull his sleeves, so he blindly followed him to the main room. Mo Wankong waited in front of the door, and quickly saluted Cen Li when he saw him.

Several people were seated, and Cen Li took the main seat as a matter of course.

Mo Wankong was sweating profusely, and his face was not very good. He looked at Wang Bing strangely, took a sip of tea and said: "Your Highness, I just received the news that a few miles outside the city, our people have been killed." Han Kuang solved it."

Cen Li had a bad premonition, frowned and said, "How many people?"

"95 people. Half of them are women and children, and half are middle-aged and disabled. They all came from Luoyang to join us. They were treated as rebels outside the city and wiped out."

"Who's going to respond?" Cen Li was not angry.

Although there are not many people, the problems behind them cannot be ignored. This will affect their future development in Runan County. If they cannot meet these fleeing people in time, who else will come to seek refuge?How do they break through the current declining situation?

"It's Xu Buzhen. He has nothing to do recently. Last night, I asked him to go early this morning. Aji said that he went out early in the morning, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive." Indiscriminate killings, half of them are unarmed women and children! Hey!"

This sentence hurt Wang Bing, he really wanted to refute a few words, but he endured it for Cen Li.

He couldn't interrupt Cen Li's important conversation.

Cen Li shouted: "Stop talking nonsense. If you can't find Xu Bu, forget it." After thinking for a while, he continued: "We have a lot of people in Runan County, and Qi's rice shops are all over Runan County, tell them that they saw the same family on the way All the refugees will be taken in, and those who can’t do anything will be reported, and they will lose a bite of food.”

Mo Wankong didn't know why he was scolded, so he dared to reply more respectfully: "Yes... yes, I will do it now."

Wang Bing looked at Cen Li with more admiration, Cen Li suddenly glanced over to look at him, Wang Bing was a little guilty for a while, and then nodded slightly at him after being watched for a while, meaning "this is right", Cen Li is like a child He was as happy as finally getting an adult's candy, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Lin Yi also came to Zhang Min non-stop when he heard about the killing of hundreds of Huns outside Xuanhu City.

Passing by Han Kuang at the gate of the county yamen, Lin Yi wanted to stop him, but Lin Yi felt that Han Kuang had clearly seen him, but he left without turning his head.

The common people are saying that Han Kuang is loyal, patriotic, brave and good at fighting. He is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but when Han Kuang met him twice, he looked indifferent. Lin Yi probably knew that Han Kuang really didn't want to talk to him.

Ji Dong didn't dislike him. Apart from his hostility, he felt that he was a bit like Chen Cheyun before.

Lin Yi bowed to his back, turned and entered the county office, the prefect trotted towards Cen Li, and said, "Why do Yuan Pinghou need to come here in person, just send someone to let the lower officials go over."

"Mr. Zhang's words are serious. Ziyou wants to see the mountains and rivers of Runan again, as well as the newly built county office. Mr. Zhang is worthy of being Mr. Zhang. Runan County is really peaceful, and the people all praise it. "

The two flattered each other a few more words, Zhang Min tactfully gave way to Lin Yi, and sat in Han Kuang's seat.

"Mr. Zhang, we Ming people don't speak dark words. Ziyou came this time to ask the prefect about the suppression of rebellious parties outside the city. I think the prefect knows more than Ziyou."

"Yes, I have just received the news. Captain Han Kuang and Captain Han received a report that there are Hu people a few miles north of the city doing evil. A total of 95 people have handed over fifty knives and two swords." Zhang Min saw that Lin Yi's face was getting more and more uncomfortable, so he said: "The head and the sword are in the warehouse, why don't you take the Lord Hou to have a look?"

Lin Yi got up immediately, and made a gesture of invitation unhurriedly, "Then there will be Lord Laozhang."

Zhang Min only saw that he was still gentle and elegant, but he didn't know that Lin Yi was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He even prayed to the gods in his heart that Cen Li would never die so easily, and he hadn't reported his life-saving. Well, he didn't even say a word to him properly!

Lin Yi followed Zhang Min, and when he arrived at the warehouse, he passed Zhang Min directly, his gaze hurriedly swept across the crowded warehouse where many items were piled up. It was Zhang Min who led him all the way to the place where the heads were piled up. Hundreds of heads were covered with sackcloth Pretending to throw it on the ground casually, the cloth was stained with blood.Before Zhang Min could react, Lin Yi had already squatted down and untied the knot without being too dirty. Human heads rolled out one after another, surrounding the two of them like a group of vicious dogs snatching food, and Zhang Min almost vomited.

Everyone in the warehouse ran over curiously to watch, and was disgusted and left after a while.

Ji Dong picked them up and looked at them one by one. He looked at them very quickly. Some of them only took a look, while others took a long time. His hands and sleeves were covered in blood. Every time he looked at a head, his frown relaxed. one cent.

There is no Cen Li.

Maybe no one can understand Ji Dong's current mood, but he feels extremely happy.

Yuzhu Lane, as the name suggests, is full of bamboos on both sides of the road, and jade is like a beautiful jade, which together becomes synonymous with nobility. Everyone who lives in Yuzhu Lane is a prominent figure in Runan County. Wang Bing looked at the rickety man in front of him. From the back, Aji is a mute, and he is not enthusiastic. He obediently leads Wang Bing through Yuzhu Lane.

The bustling roads with stalls, vendors, and business solicitors on both sides of the road are dazzling.

On the way here, I was hidden by Cen Li, but I couldn't appreciate the style of Runan County. This place is really lively, and there are many barbarians coming and going on the street. Everyone is in their own way. Shang Taiping.

This time, Wang Bing was able to leave the Qi Mansion only with the unanimous consent of everyone, while Cen Li could only stay in the mansion under the coercion of Mo Wankong and Qi Xiangmei. For example, looking for things like Xu Buzhen, but Cen Li is absolutely impossible, because of the portrait of Wang Bing that can be seen everywhere on the street.

After leaving the city, Aji's mission as a guide came to an end. Wang Bing recalled what Mo Wankong had said, and found the scene of the "encirclement and suppression".

This place was originally a place with lush vegetation, but suddenly it was scorched and black. They came late, Han Kuang acted swiftly, and there were no traces of fighting at the scene.Wang Bing was squatting next to a bush covered in blood. The blood was only as big as a fingernail, and it was hard to find it in the dense grass. Wang Bing pushed the grass to the knees of a person, and finally saw more blood a few steps away Blood, like a sign, guides the lost to seek the truth.

Aji has been following behind Wang Bing. Although he is dumb but not stupid, he knows that Wang Bing is following those bloodstains.Now that his head is tied around Wang Bing's waist, if Wang Bing loses a hair and goes back, His Royal Highness still doesn't know how to fix himself.

Wang Bing stopped suddenly, the blood was gone here, he stood up, glanced at the surrounding environment, the people coming and going came and went in and out of the city gate like foam spit out from the mouth of a fish, and they came back again!

Wang Bing just buried his head in looking for bloodstains all the way. At this time, he wanted to turn his head to talk to Aji. After turning around, there was nothing under the scorching sun. He fell forward, his eyes were so heavy that he couldn't control it.

Before losing consciousness, Wang Bing was thinking: Cen Li will be implicated again.

It was completely dark, Qi Xiangmei turned around and went to a remote wing room, opened the door and went in to take away the cold food, Cen Li saw her coming in, and said anxiously: "Are you back?"

Qi Xiangmei shook her head with her eyes closed, and did not persuade Cen Li to eat. She knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so she left after packing up.

Cen Li rushed out of the room to catch up, ran in front of Qi Xiangmei, clenched his fists firmly like iron: "I'm going to find him!"

Qi Xiangmei was not surprised by Cen Li, who came out halfway, and said with a serious expression: "Cousin, you are the prince, you are the king!" .

He is a dignified prince, the only hope of all the oppressed clansmen, he should only be admired by people like the sun in the sky, how can he despise himself for a subordinate?

Even if they are subjugated slaves in the eyes of others, what few people know is that they came from the far north, fought with wild beasts, preyed on the weak, and regarded themselves as arrogant. of.

"Fucking lord, without him, I would have been played to death in Shanyin." Cen Li retorted unceremoniously, "I went back to Runan to obediently be your prince and the number one figure in the rebellious party, not because Revive your so-called Zhao country, and go back to the era when you were looting and looting, I just want our people to live with dignity no matter where they are."

"You don't know, I used to be the same as you, I just wanted to kill back and stomp the enemy under my feet to vent my anger. But he is different, Tu Ya is dead, he can't die! So I want him back!"

"His injuries haven't fully healed yet." Cen Li's tone was a little more tactful. Although compared with ordinary people, this is not a pleading, but to Cen Li, it is already a humble tone than begging for help. He only uses this tone Talked to Wang Bing. "Let me go. If he doesn't go, something will happen to him. I don't want to be the prince anymore."

Qi Xiangmei was too angry to speak, she knew that Wang Xin had saved his life from him, but this was not just an attitude towards the benefactor, she vaguely felt that their relationship was delicate.So many people were sent to look for it, but nothing came of it. What if Wang's illness is not as simple as getting lost as she thought, Cen Li has always kept his word, if something really happened, where would he find another prince?Without the prince, what else would they use as a banner to fight back to Pingyang?

How to avenge the subjugation of the country?

She has just reached the age of Ji, and the 16-year-old Cardamom Nian, is she going to be a prostitute in Minglanxuan for the rest of her life?

The answer is of course no!no way!

After being silent for a while, Qi Xiangmei said: "Cousin, come with me, you are really... too willful."

Wang Bing felt that he was standing in the soft mud, surrounded by torches. Jiang Qiming was standing at an arm's length away from him, smiling at him. Wang Bing was about to call brother, but before he could say anything, the torches suddenly became conscious. Ban flew towards Jiang Qiming, but he was stuck in the soft mud, his feet seemed to be grabbed and couldn't move, and Jiang Qiming didn't move, his whole body was covered in fire and he still kept a doting smile.

When the nightmare was over, Wang Bing opened his eyes and saw the bright candlelight. He had the illusion that the nightmare and reality overlapped in a trance, which made him scream in a low voice and sat up immediately.

The door of the room was pushed open, and as the person approached, the candlelight shone into the person's face, Wang Bing was still trapped in a dream, panting heavily.

"What's wrong with you?" Han Kuang put the soup on the table, ran over and asked anxiously, "Ah? Are you okay? What's wrong?"

A living person was finally able to separate Wang Bing's mind, and that dream was shattered lightly by a few words, Wang Bing turned his head to look at the person who came, heaved a sigh of relief, and said weakly: "So it's you, don't come All right, Captain Han."

"I see that you are ill. Wait a minute. I've boiled medicine for you. Drink it while it's hot." Han Kuang went to fetch the medicine again after finishing speaking.

"Come, drink."

Wang Bing felt that he hadn't reached the point of asking someone to feed him medicine. After thanking Han Kuang, he insisted on doing it himself. After drinking a bowl of slightly bitter cold soup for relieving summer heat, he really became more energetic.

Han Kuang took the empty bowl in his hand and asked, "My lord, why did you collapse at the gate of the city? It's a hot day when you stand under the hot sun and drink a cup of tea and you get heatstroke. What's wrong with you?"

Wang Bing answered irrelevantly and asked, "Don't ask. What time is it now?"

Han Kuang said without thinking, "Hai Shi."

It's already so late, Cen Li said that he had to go back to Qi's mansion before dinner, it's been so long, he has to go back and tell him about the bloodstains, and Aji...

Wang Bing: "Captain Han, I was seeing off my friends outside the city, and I suffered from heat stroke on a hot day. Did you see other people at that time?"

"No. When did you come to Runan County, young master, and you didn't come to see me? I was on official business, and I had to search all places within ten miles outside the city before I saw you, young master."

I'm afraid Aji is already in danger.Wang Bing knew that he definitely didn't pass out due to heat stroke. He clearly remembered what happened at that time. Someone must have followed them to aim at the right time to strike. He just arrived in Runan County. Want his life?

It must have something to do with the bloodstains.

Wang Bing smiled gratefully: "Captain Han, you can call me Wang Bing. Thank you very much this time, and I will definitely repay you."

Han Kuang whispered timidly, "Young master, don't say anything, thank you."

"If it weren't for the young master to speak for me in the palace, I would have been beaten to death by Wang Yunian."

A few years ago, Han Kuang was a handyman feeding horses in the palace. Wang Bing’s brother, Wang Yunian, had a bloody BMW, which he rode out all day to show off. In the same day, Wang Yunian vented his anger on Han Kuang, who was feeding the horse.Wang Bing was at home at that time, and he really couldn't stand Wang Yunian beating Han Kuang like a dog, so he went up to him to argue, but Wang Yunian really held a grudge, and vowed to take Han Kuang's life to pay for his BMW. He gave Han Kuang a lot of money and asked him to leave the palace.

Because of this, he was looked down upon by the brothers in the clan, saying that he turned his elbows outwards and bullied his brothers in partnership with a handyman.

Back then, Han Kuang was just a handyman, but now he is the captain of a county, and Wang Bing has long since lost his former style. It is something Wang Bing never expected to meet again after many years. Say yes; Han Kuang is not a talkative person, not to mention that he used to be a handyman in the palace, and he felt short in front of Wang Bing, and the two stared blankly.

After a long time, Han Kuang asked in a low voice, "How have you been these past few years, my lord? What's going on with your face...?"

Han Kuang knew that Wang Fu "sold the owner for glory" in the first battle in Luoyang last year. At that time, he was still working as a handyman in the Jiankang station. To give up his breath, the imperial court enlisted troops to take back Runan County soon. Han Kuang was determined to give it a try, and he became famous in the first battle. He took office with Zhang Min and became the captain of the northern part of Runan County. He was in charge of one third of the army in Runan County and guarded for the court. border defense.

Han Kuang didn't want to mention a word about Wang Fu.

Wang Bing just wanted to return to Cen Li quickly, and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I fell. What about you?"

If a person hides the scar so that no one can see it, if he digs up the scar with good intentions and then smoothes it, it will be cruel to each other.

Han Kuang saw that Wang Bing didn't want to mention the past, so he didn't mention it again, "Thanks to the favor of the young master, I am doing well now. It is you, the young master, who made Han Kuang today. This great kindness, Han Kuang has always been In mind."

"It's just a little effort, Captain Han is nothing more than worrying, and you saved me today, so don't worry about the past." Wang Bing saw that he shouldn't come here, and the title is just a code name, so it doesn't matter.Turning up the linen and about to stay in the bed, I suddenly felt that Han Kuang was also very poor. Seeing that he was not wearing silk and satin, I didn’t feel sad. Runan County was not peaceful. If he was a captain, he would be at ease That's not normal.

But he was happy for him from the bottom of his heart, he should be a good captain loved by everyone.People who have experienced the life of ordinary people will not have much official airs when they become officials, not to mention that he started as a handyman who is lower than ordinary people. I am afraid that no one understands the hardships of the people better than him. What a pain.

Wang Bing tidied up his messy clothes and said, "I think I should go back. My friend is still waiting for me. He must be very anxious after I've been missing for a long time."

Han Kuang is a man of temperament, he helped Wang Bing find shoes for him to wear, but Wang Bing didn't dare to say no.

"My lord...Since I have to leave, I won't keep you, but it's so late now, I don't worry about you being alone." The implication is to send Wang Bing back.

Wang Bing was going to the Qi Mansion, he didn't dare to take a captain back, he knew how much Mo Wankong hated Han Kuang.Wang Bing hurriedly said that it was not far away without any trouble, and his mouth was numb when he said it, so Han Kuang sent him to the door with a worried face.

Wang Bing bowed to him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Go in, it's not far away, and you'll be there in a short walk. I promise you that I will come to you if you need anything, so go in."

"Young master... You must come to me if you have something to do, so go."

Wang Bing repeatedly assured Han Kuang that he was reluctant to enter the house.

As soon as he walked to the street, Wang Bing was immediately recognized by several barbarians. Wang Bing had seen them in Qi Mansion, so naturally he followed them back without saying a word.

This scene happened to be seen clearly by the person hiding in the corner.

In the middle of the night, Wang Bing finally saw Cen Li. He was standing in the middle of the corridor, with his upper body hidden in the shadows. There was something wrong with him, exuding a dangerous aura like a wolf.

It wasn't until Cen Li let out a long breath that Wang Bing felt the invisible pressure disappear.Cen Li pursed his lips tightly, with a helpless expression on his face, but his eyes were gentle.

Cen Li probably wouldn't say "It's good when you come back", but he could convey it to Wang Bing's heart with just one look.

"Eat." Cen Li walked over, tugged at his sleeve, touched Wang Bing's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and it was slightly hot.
