A knife in love

Chapter 180

Liu Hong was speechless after being refuted by Sang Liangtian, and it took a long time before he said: "The general is right, but the lowly position is wrong. It's just that the lowly position has another matter, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

Sang Liangtian said: "All of us soldiers are straightforward, so feel free to speak up if you have something to say."

Liu Hongdao: "Thank you for that humble post, General. After Duoyan Sanwei's vanguard arrived the day before yesterday, I heard from my brothers that they ransacked a village in Lianhua Mountain, killed a hundred people, and robbed a lot of things. They came again today. Three thousand Tazi soldiers, all of them extremely arrogant, beat and scolded our brothers, but the general restrained the brothers not to make trouble, so everyone tolerated it. However, some brothers could understand the Tarzi language and listened to it. The Tartar soldiers said that after they entered the capital, they would loot the capital without sealing their swords for three days. General, the Tartar soldiers have always been fierce. Although the three guards of Duoyan surrendered to Ming Dynasty, they have colluded with the Tartar soldiers outside the Great Wall from time to time. If they Entering the capital will be a looting. We enter the capital according to the order of the imperial court. Although there will be battles, it is the army of the Ming Dynasty after all. No matter how chaotic it is, there will be no chaos. If the Tartars come in disorder, the world will be ruled by then. Chaos, if the Tartar soldiers outside the Great Wall take advantage of the opportunity..."

"Enough!" Sang Liangtian roared, "General Liu, you are only in charge of a battalion, with a maximum of 200 or [-] people. How can you, a small general, be able to manage these court battles and plans? Leading the soldiers and horses of your left battalion is to be loyal to Daming, and you don't care about other things!"

Although Liu Hong was not convinced, but seeing Sang Liangtian's fierce eyes, he didn't dare to say any more, so he bowed and said, "Since the general said so, I think there must be a good plan, and it's inconvenient to say more about my humble position, so I will leave."

Sang Liangtian said: "Restrain your brothers in Zuoying. The general will send people to negotiate with the guards of the city for those corpses left in the city. They can be transported back tomorrow, so don't worry about them."

Liu Hong agreed, then turned around and left the big tent.Sang Liangtian looked at Liu Hong's back and spat viciously.Turning around and seeing Li Qiufeng standing on the side in a strange attire, he said in a deep voice, "Old Zhou, what did you do with your face?"

Li Qiufeng still pretended to have a hoarse voice, and said vaguely: "The villain accidentally knocked over a pot of water, scalded his face and legs, and even his throat was swollen..."

Sang Liangtian frowned and said: "Why are you so careless? You don't have supper tonight, you can take it back. Go find the old horse to see the wounds, but he has a lot of wounded soldiers to heal tonight, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to treat them." You. Fortunately, this is just a burn, so it doesn’t matter if you want a plaster to go back and stick it on yourself.”

Li Qiufeng was about to make a move to restrain Sang Liangtian, but at this moment, he heard footsteps outside the door.He had no choice but to lift the food box and bowed to say goodbye to Sang Liangtian. Sang Liangtian waved his hand. He turned and walked towards the tent door. He heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. Li Qiufeng didn't know who was coming, so he didn't dare to move rashly. Thinking hard about what to do in the palm of your hand.

Li Qiufeng barely walked to the tent door, but saw a figure reflected on the door curtain.Li Qiufeng stepped aside hastily, only to hear someone outside the door say: "General Qi, Zhao Zhen, Master Zhao has arrived."

Sang Liangtian said hastily: "Quickly invite him into the account."

The soldier agreed, then turned around and left.Li Qiufeng knew that Zhao Zhen was extremely cunning, fearing that he would see his flaws, he hurriedly opened the curtain and walked out.But Zhao Zhen was dressed in an official uniform, and he had already arrived at the big tent under the leadership of two soldiers.Li Qiufeng hurriedly stepped aside, bowed his body and waited for a few people to pass by, then left with the food box.Faintly heard Zhao Zhen ask a soldier: "Who is this man, why is he covering half of his face..."

At this time, the tent was still heavily guarded. Seeing Li Qiufeng coming out, the head of the guard joked, "Old Zhou, you are lucky tonight, the general didn't hit you with the army stick. Bring some bottles of good wine tomorrow, and everyone will help you." You celebrate."

Li Qiufeng was afraid of showing his flaws, so he didn't dare to say more, so he nodded.Just as he was about to leave quickly, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly from behind: "Old Zhou, the general called you back!"

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, wondering if Zhao Zhen saw the flaw?When he was hesitating, the guard leader whispered: "Old Zhou, the general calls you, hurry up and enter the tent, if he gets angry, you still can't escape with this army stick!"

Li Qiufeng had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the big tent with a limp.I thought to myself: "If Zhao Zhen finds out my identity, he might have to kill both of them."

He walked to the tent door, but saw that it was the soldier who called him.He only heard him say: "Old Zhou, your legs and feet are a bit awkward."

With a smiling face, Li Qiufeng pointed to his throat, which meant that his throat was broken and he couldn't speak.The soldier smirked, and patted Li Qiufeng on the shoulder twice, then lifted the curtain to let Li Qiufeng enter.

Li Qiufeng carried the food box and walked into the big tent slowly, only to see Zhao Zhen and Sang Liangtian whispering.Seeing Li Qiufeng coming in, Sang Liangtian said loudly, "Lao Zhou, please leave the food box, I want to have a few drinks with Mr. Zhao."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself that he didn't know whether there was wine in Lao Zhou's food box, and he was afraid that Sang Liangtian would ask, and he would show his feet, so he walked quickly to the case, opened the lid of the food box, and saw a white wine jug inside , still with heat.Only then did he feel relieved, took out the white jug, put the jug on the table respectfully, and took out another wine glass.Then he took out the chopsticks and four plates of appetizers.He said in a hoarse voice: "General, this villain only brought one cup and only one pair of chopsticks. Please wait a moment, General, and the villain will fetch it later."

Sang Liangtian frowned and said, "No need, I'll drink from this jug. As for the chopsticks, I'll fold them into two pairs and make do with it. Pour Master Zhao a glass of wine."

Li Qiufeng hastily filled his wine glass before bowing and leaving.Sang Liangtian said: "Old Zhou, you wait at the door. If there is something to do, I have to call you in to serve."

Li Qiufeng was overjoyed, thinking to himself that this was exactly what he wished for.Even though he agreed, he still limped to the door, opened the curtain and walked out.

The two soldiers stood guard at the door, and when they saw Li Qiufeng coming out, they asked in a low voice, "Is the general not angry?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "The general wants to have a drink with Mr. Zhao, so let me wait at this door."

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said, "It's best like this. Old Zhou, you wait here, and we brothers can rest for a while."

Li Qiufeng wished that the two of them would go far away, so he nodded immediately.The two personal soldiers immediately walked up to the guard leader, and the three of them chatted and laughed in a low voice.The rest of the guards guarding outside the big tent saw the officers gathered together talking and laughing, so they were not as vigilant as they were just now, they also gathered together in twos and threes, chatting in low voices.

Li Qiufeng stood by the big tent door, seeing that everyone didn't care about him, he pressed his body against the tent cloth, and while everyone was not paying attention, he made a small hole in the tent cloth with his right hand, and put his ear on the small tent. Above the hole, he listened attentively to the voice in the tent.

I only heard Zhao Zhen say: "I heard that Liu Hong came to fight with the general again?"

Sang Liangtian snorted and said: "The surname Liu is Lao Li's confidant, and he made it clear that he came to my place to pick peaches. But this kid is ignorant and wants to get involved in everything. He attacked the city today. The dead were the most in the camp, and most of them were his cronies. Naturally, this kid refused to give up, so he came to me to argue, but I blocked them all."

Zhao Zhendao: "If Liu Hong is in the way, just get rid of him."

Sang Liangtian said: "The situation is unclear at the moment, let him save his life first."

But Zhao Zhen said with a dry smile: "Lao Sang, are you trying to save yourself a way out?"

Sang Liangtian said in a deep voice: "Since the day the imperial mausoleum was pulled out, where do I have a way out? It's 'leaving the camp privately, not being called to lead troops to the capital', which is enough to punish my nine clans."

Zhao Zhendao: "Lao Sang, you can rest assured. Your family has settled down long ago. The other 10 taels of silver has also been handed over to Madam. This matter is completed, and you are the commander of the five armies of the Ming Dynasty. General, Prince Taibao. If not, you can take millions of taels of silver and become a rich man overseas, and the gods are not as comfortable as you."

Sang Liangtian said: "I've had enough of the anger of these villains these years, and I've had enough of these soldiers. Whether you can succeed in this matter or not, I only want money, and I will leave the Central Plains with my wife, children, and children, and I will also leave this right and wrong. nest."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Sang Liangtian didn't rebel with all his heart, so things will be easier to deal with. As long as Zhao Zhen is eliminated, Sang Liangtian will be in chaos, and maybe the rebel army will collapse without a fight. .”

Right here, footsteps were heard in the distance, and then several figures turned out from behind a camp tent, walking towards the big tent.When Li Qiufeng saw the leader, his heart shuddered.I saw this person wearing a gray robe, very tall and thin, holding an umbrella in his right hand, it was Liu Shengzongyan who disappeared in the old shop of the Gu family.
