Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 688 Don't kill Li Jing, keep it for the New Year

On the White Tiger Hall of Yacheng in Liaodong City.

The news of Li Jing's disappearance spread from Tieling Town, and the Chief Shihou Mo Chen Yi, who was staying in the commander's mansion on behalf of Luo Cheng, urgently summoned a group of generals of the Zhongwu Army to discuss the matter.

At this time, Luo Cunxiao, the prefect of Lushun who happened to be working in Liaodong, and the envoy of the Fourth Army of the Zhongwu Army were also in the city, so they also came to discuss the matter.

Luo Cunxiao knew where his brother Luo Cheng was now, and knew what amazing event Luo Cheng was planning. It was a big head-scratching event, but at this time, Li Jing, the first army envoy, disappeared in Tieling Town on the front line.

"Wang Junkuo!"

As soon as Luo Cunxiao entered the White Tiger Hall, he immediately asked.

"General Wang will be here later." Hou Mo Chen Yi, who presided over the meeting, said that Cun Xiao had time to look at the people present at the meeting. They were all old brothers of the Zhongwu Army. Feng Deyi, the observation envoy Li Baiyao and others did not come.

"I didn't send anyone to invite them, this meeting is just for our old brothers." Hou Mo Chen Yi said again.

In addition to Luo Cheng who left Liaodong, Zhao Gui and Feng Xiaoci who were on the front line, and Song Laosheng who went to Lelang, it can be said that the generals of the Zhongwu Army have all arrived.

"What's going on with Li Jing? Why did he suddenly disappear at this time?" Cun Xiao asked.

Hou Mo and Chen Yi said, "I suspect that Li Jing has noticed something, so it is very likely that he fled back to the Central Plains to report. But this is just my guess for the time being. General Wang Junkuo is already investigating. When he arrives, everything will be clear. .”

Those sitting here are all old brothers of the Zhongwu Army, and they are all united as one. Therefore, before Luo Cheng was going to raise an incident, he also talked to all the old brothers in advance, and got a response.

Everyone was a little surprised by Luo Cheng's big plan, but in the end they were all willing to support it.

For everyone, Luo Chengcheng is their head. Wherever the head points, they will naturally follow. Without Luo Cheng leading everyone, they would not be where they are today, not to mention, their current family business is in the In Liaodong, if Luo Cheng is raped or killed by the emperor, they will not be accused of crimes, but the industry in Liaodong is not so straightforward after all, and it will definitely be affected at that time, not to mention, Luo Cheng is really about to fall. How could it be possible for these people to stay out?

After waiting for a while, Wang Junkuo finally arrived.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I kept everyone waiting for a long time."

Cunxiao asked impatiently, "What happened to Li Jing? Where is he?"

As the leader of one of Luo Cheng's secret forces, Wang Junkuo has been running around in recent years and has been very busy, but Luo Cheng has also been more and more important here.

He found a place to sit at the entrance of Baihutang, drank a cup of tea first, and said in a leisurely manner, "Li Jing has failed the trust of the commander in him. This guy is a talent. We haven't talked to him at all." , but he also intuitively sensed the direction of the wind, and then quietly inquired, and finally confirmed his guess, this guy will go to inform."

"He really went to inform?"

"It's useless to worry. Although Li Jing thinks he's acting smart, how can he escape the eyes of our shadow guards? I've been following him since the first day he came to Liaodong. Sure enough, I didn't waste those eyeliners around him for nothing." pile."

The main duties of Wang Junkuo's shadow guards are assassination and beheading, and of course surveillance is also one of their tasks.

Li Jing acted very quickly. He didn't trust anyone in the Zhongwu Army, even a veteran like Deputy Commander Qu Tutong, he didn't quite believe it. He briefly explained the military affairs at Tieling Fort, saying that he would go out of the city to investigate the enemy's situation. Then he ran away.

After leaving the city, Li Jing put on makeup and pretended to be a Khitan merchant.

He even forged the Khitan businessman's customs clearance document in advance. He was very clever not to ride south all the way, but after leaving Tieling Town for a hundred miles, he took a boat down the Liao River.

The waterway was fast, and he sat all the way to Yingkou City, the mouth of the Liaohe River, where he transferred to a boat to Lushun Port, intending to take a boat to Shandong from there, and then go down to Jiangdu to play the emperor.

It's a pity that although Li Jing ran fast, Wang Junkuo kept staring at him.

He didn't show up for half a day, and the secret information was reported immediately, and then a special person came to investigate, but it was found that Li Jing had escaped, so he sent an urgent order to search everywhere.

Finally, Wang Junkuo chased him to Lushun, and found out that Li Jing had boarded the boat and was going to Shandong.

He hastily mobilized a boat to catch up, and finally stopped Li Jing's boat at sea, and grabbed Li Jing from the boat abruptly.

Luo Cunxiao snorted coldly.

"The commander-in-chief appointed him as the first army envoy, and also ordered him to be fully responsible for the preparations for the capture of Fuyuchuan. He was given command of more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in Tieling Fort, but he actually ran away. Where is he?"

"He has been escorted back secretly, and he is now in Yacheng. In order to avoid bad influence, we have kept him isolated."

Cunxiao yelled, "If you don't kill this kind of person, why don't you keep it for the New Year? If you run away before the battle, you will be executed immediately, and there will be no pardon for killing!"

Hou Mo and Chen Yi said, should we wait for the commander in chief to come back before handing it over to him?
After all, since Li Jing joined the Zhongwu Army, he has gained Luo Cheng's trust. The current four-army system of the Zhongwu Army is also his suggestion.

The angry fourth brother didn't care about these things. Although Li Jing was valued by the fifth child, no matter how talented Li Jing was, he would never forgive him, especially at such a critical juncture.

"Wait, just kill me. If you are worried that the commander-in-chief will come back and blame you, I will be responsible for this alone."

Hou Mo and Chen Yi persuaded, "At this critical moment, if we kill Li Jing, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary troubles. Qu Tutong, Feng Deyi and others have always been at odds with us. If we kill Li Jing, they will be shocked. I'm afraid it's not good."

The fourth child was stunned for a moment, and then said, since he couldn't kill him openly, he should just assassinate him.Didn't Li Jing want to go back to the Central Plains by boat, then just put him in a sack and tie stones, and then throw him into the sea.

"Let's wait. After all, if the head is cut off, you can't take it back, but now that the person is locked up, he can't escape."

Hou Mo and Chen Yi said that since Li Jing has been arrested, we can no longer interfere with our affairs. I am more worried about Qu Tutong and Feng Deyi now.

After all, Qu Tutong is the deputy commander. He has high qualifications and high prestige in the army in the past. If this person comes to make trouble, it will be troublesome enough.

"This old guy, who has been with us for several years, has benefited a lot, but he has never been well-fed. Until now, he is still eating and crawling. Just like Li Jing, he is not a good bird."

Hou Mo and Chen Ai also ignored the fourth child's words, turned to Wang Junkuo and said, "General Wang, there is an important task for you here, please work hard again, you should go to Lelang County right away, and take the big Hand over the letter written by Shuai to Song Shuai. After Song Shuai reads the letter, he will know what to do. Your mission in the past was to take over King Qi from Song Shuai and bring him to Liaodong in secret. Hold on, it must be kept a secret, and absolutely must not reveal the slightest bit of wind."

Wang Junkuo nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm the best at this kind of thing."
