138 - The power of an arrow

All the ministers lowered their heads and remained silent.

In the first hand-to-hand combat, although there were not many casualties and the loss was not too great, they only sent 100 people!

Moreover, all the warlords on their side fell into the water and became seriously ill. The court was really ashamed!

Panting heavily, Emperor Zhenghe yelled, "Where's the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Navy? Where did they die?"

"The vanguard of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Navy has reached the Huxiao River, with 3000 warships and [-] sailors.

No one would have imagined that Bingyong in the Fuguang Army could swim across the Huxiao River quietly without the eyes of the sentinels.

Our army was killed by surprise, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang naval forces were five miles away, and it was too late when they arrived."

Ling Bing choked up unconsciously as he spoke, "Your Majesty! That's the Huxiao River! It's more than a hundred feet wide, and the wind is so violent that no boat less than three feet can cross it!

The people in the Fuguang Army were able to swim directly over!They were able to swim over! "

Jingzhou has many mountains and little water, and this Jingnan Lingbing obviously cannot believe that there are people with such good water performance, and it is not one person or two, but 100 people!

No, maybe not at all!

Maybe people just think that sending 100 people is enough, and there may be two hundred, three hundred, or even tens of thousands of people like that in the Fuguang Army!
They are a group of landlubbers, how can they fight with others!
Didn't you see that Governor Shi fell off the boat and drowned half dead under heavy guards?

The hall was full of silence, seeing Zheng Hedi's gloomy complexion, as if wishing to cut down the commanding soldier who boosted others' ambitions, the elder Meng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Qi Gufeng has been famous for a long time and occupies an advantageous location, so it must not be underestimated.

According to veterans, Qi Gufeng claims to have an army of 20, at least three-quarters, or even more, of Qi Gufeng had to rebel because he was coerced and threatened.

For the current plan, we should use heavy troops to deter them, and then condemn capable ministers to go to the land of Fuguang, divide and dissolve them, so as not to make a big war and waste the people and money."

Since Qi Gufeng rebelled, he wrote such an extremely insulting "Letter to the People of the Great Xiao", Zhenghe Emperor and all the ministers have a clear attitude, this is the first time someone proposed to persuade them to surrender.

And the person who proposed is the most kind and gentle Mr. Meng Laoshoufu.

After a brief silence, the senior and prudent officials couldn't hold back any longer, echoing the words of Mr. Meng's Chief Assistant and offering to persuade them to surrender.

Emperor Zhenghe watched with cold eyes. It turned out that he, the king of a country, was humiliated, so in the eyes of these so-called veterans and important officials, he was so worthless?
Persuade?

How can it be?

He must kill that Qi Gufeng who dared to insult him!Exterminate the Nine Clans!
In the midst of the excitement, the long praise from the outside sounded again, "Jiu Fangfeng, the military commander of the Fuguang Prince's Mansion, begs to see you—"

A military adviser begged to see him, and he actually begged to see the Golden Luan Palace!

Are those idiots in the Janissary all asleep?

Zheng Hedi frowned, almost wanting Jiu Fangfeng to get out, but finally endured it and announced it.

Jiufangfeng was dressed in Tsing Yi, with a handsome smile on his face, holding the bone fan upside down. Entering the Golden Luan Hall, it was as if he had entered the back garden of the Fuguang Prince's Mansion, relaxed and comfortable.

Xi Xin behind him is holding a black bundle in his hand, which looks like a square box inside.

The eyes of all the ministers fell on the box at once. Jiu Fangfeng rushed to ask for an audience at this time, it must be because of this box, what important things will be contained in it?
Jiu Fangfeng didn't whet everyone's appetites, and after saluting, he said loudly, "Your Majesty, I heard that a few days ago, my lord heard that Qi Gufeng had seized the Fuguang Palace in Guangzhou, snatched his title of Fuguang King, and tried to overthrow me. Great Xiao Jiangshan was very angry.

Immediately lead [-] personal guards to Guangzhou Mansion, Qi Gufeng's head has been beheaded and here, please look at the emperor! "

As soon as Jiu Fangfeng said this, everyone gasped in surprise.

The nearest old chief assistant, Meng, anxiously grabbed Jiu Fangfeng by the collar, and shouted, "What are you talking about? Qi Gufeng's head?"

Those who were impatient even ran away, wanting to see the burden in front of Xi Xin.

Recalling that this was still in the Golden Luan Hall, he hurried back to the spot, but stared at the little burden with fisted hands.

Although they didn't dare to move, they still dared to speak, and suddenly the whole hall was full of voices asking whether it was true or not.

Emperor Zhenghe was surprised and delighted, and unconsciously stood up from the dragon chair, "Quick! Show it to me!"

The eunuch who was serving came back to his senses, hurriedly descended the imperial steps, took the burden, and opened the box.

Old Chief Assistant Meng couldn't help stretching his head to look over, gasped suddenly, and shouted, "It's really Qi Gufeng!"

Qi Gufeng's head had been cleaned up, made of lime, surrounded by iron sheets, and iced below and around it. There was no decay at all, and it still maintained the unbelievable appearance of slightly wide-eyed eyes before death.

The originally lively court hall has become a chicken farm, with all kinds of noises.

Those standing in front stood on their tiptoes to watch vigorously, while those standing in the back almost wished to climb on the shoulders of the person in front to see!
The eunuch carefully went up the imperial steps with the iron box in his hands, knelt down on his knees, and raised the box over his head.

Emperor Zhenghe barely controlled his trembling and looked over, and laughed after confirming that it was Qi Gufeng, "It really is that traitor! Good, good!"

Zheng Hedi, who was in a good mood, was very generous, "Come here, and present Qi Gufeng's head for all the lovers to watch!"

Jiu Fangfeng patted Old Meng Shoufu's arm, "Master Shoufu, can you let go of Jiu Fang's clothes now?"

Although the old Chief Assistant Meng had already sneaked a glance, he forgot to let go of Jiufangfeng's collar because of his excitement. He just pulled him like this, and with a little strength from his body, tiptoed his head to look at the throne.

Well, although he has already seen it, he just wants to take another look!
Only then did Mr. Meng come to his senses, pretending to be calm, he let go of Jiu Fangfeng's collar, and smiled dryly, "I'm rude, I'm sorry, military commander, don't blame me."

The eunuch held the iron box and walked past the ministers one by one. Because the eyes of the adults were too eager and oppressive, he didn't dare to walk too fast. It was half an hour after he finished walking around. .

Emperor Zhenghe calmed down from the ecstasy, and said, "Jiufang Military Division, please explain the situation at that time clearly."

Jiu Fangfeng clasped her fists, "Jiu Fang is weak and did not go with the prince. This is Xi Xin, who has been serving the prince personally. Jiu Fang brought it here specially, please the emperor allow Xi Xin to explain carefully."

Emperor Zhenghe nodded his approval, and Xi Xin saluted and said, "After the prince heard that Qi Gufeng rebelled, he ordered his subordinates and 21 other guards to hurry to Guangzhou mansion on horseback.

After arriving outside the city of Guangzhou, they arranged for two personal guards to meet him in the moat and called Qi Gufeng to come out and speak.

Qi Gufeng went up to the city wall, and the prince asked him if he had robbed Fuguang's mansion and the title of King Fuguang, and wanted to rebel, Qi Gufeng admitted.

The prince shot Qi Gufeng to death with his bow, and Qi Gufeng fell off the city wall. Qi Gufeng's eldest son stretched out his hand to pull him, and the prince shot him to death again.

The guards hiding in the moat cut off Qi Gufeng's head and threw it to his subordinates, who followed the prince back to the capital with the head."

Asarum's words were as dry as raw pork that had been basking in the wind and dust for a long time, but all the officials present felt tense when they heard it, and their hairs stood on end.

For Qi Gufeng, who has an army of 20, there are 22 people, and Huo Yanzhi himself has 23 people. It is true that everyone can drown them by spitting!
What's more, they went deep alone and went straight into Qi Gufeng's lair!

With this courage, who in the entire Great Xiao can compare with Huo Yanzhi?
What's more, Huo Yanzhi really relied on his own strength, across the wide moat and high city wall, shot Qi Gufeng and his eldest son to death with just two arrows, and came back safe and sound!

What kind of divine power can do this?
Among the common people, there are many people who honor Huo Yan as the "God of War". Maybe only the God of War can do this?

Old Chief Assistant Meng couldn't help asking, "Only 22 personal guards?"

There is no order to mobilize troops. King Fuguang is now living in the capital, and he has no soldiers to move. All he has is a hundred soldiers of the prince's standard.

100 people are enough to be the prince's nurse in the capital, but it's not enough to take the head of the enemy general!
Huo Yanzhi didn't bring all of them?
Zheng Hedi's eyes flickered slightly, he was the one who knew the most.

On the day Qi Meiren was put to death, Huo Yanzhi took Hua Pingle out of the palace and went to Taihua Mountain, saying that he wanted to find exotic flowers and herbs that would make young fish favor their eyes.

Hua Pingle has always wanted to get Nianyu to help Princess Ninghe, and everyone in the capital knows about it.

Ever since Huo Yanzhi came back from Yumen Pass, the trash under his command could no longer keep an eye on Huo Yanzhi.

But Huo Yanzhi left the city openly and aboveboard, and the number of guards left behind cannot be faked.

He really only took away 22 people!

22 personal guards, under the leadership of one Huo Yanzhi, were able to go deep into the Guangzhou mansion, and in front of thousands of troops, they crossed the wide moat and the tall city wall and shot Qi Gufeng to death!

Does that mean that he is fully capable of breaking into the palace with the hundred guards and strangling him to death?
Naturally, Xi Xin didn't know what Zheng He Di Zhuan was thinking, and replied sternly, "Your Highness said, there are many people but it is easier for people to find their traces.

And two is the most auspicious number, 22 personal guards, just right."

Cheng Shangshu hesitated for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Why is two the most auspicious number?"

Xi Xin was silent, and said, "Our future princess will do two things at home."

Cheng Shangshu, "..."

He shouldn't have asked!
The Minister of Rites squeezed Cheng Shangshu away, and asked anxiously, "What happened later? Did the Guangzhou government send troops to chase you?"

Xi Xin glanced at him, "Of course."

Minister of Rites, "..."

Asari's glance just now must have made him think he was stupid, right?
"The first one to come was Hua Manzhou, Qi Gufeng's number one brave general, with a thousand cavalry, known as the most elite cavalry in Fuguang.

Hua Manzhou soon discovered that there are too many people but it is not easy to catch up with us. With 100 people, they bit us hard.

The prince was tired of being chased by him, and he arranged a fight with them. Hua Manzhou was defeated by the prince, recalled the remaining cavalry, and defected to the prince.

Later, Hua Manzhou asked to stop the queen and deal with the pursuers, and the prince rushed back to the capital with his subordinates.

Just before the prince entered Beijing, he received a letter from Huamanzhou, saying that he had successfully instigated three groups of pursuers, about 1 people."

Everyone has the same dreamy expression on their faces, is that okay?
King Fuguang came back from Fuguang so easily?
Also brought back Qi Gufeng's bravest young general and [-] soldiers?
It took a long time for Mr. Meng's chief assistant to come back to his senses, and he stammered and asked, "Then, where is Huamanzhou with 1 people now?"

"Still in Fuguang, Hua Manzhou said that he found a good place to hide, and is waiting for the prince to ask for the emperor's pardon, so that he can come to the capital to follow the prince in a fair manner."

Everyone, "..."

Apart from the word "admiration", they couldn't think of a more appropriate word to describe King Fuguang, who were full of poems and articles.

Jiu Fangfeng coughed, "Your Majesty, my lord has been injured a little bit, and I would like to ask your majesty to show his favor, and please go to Fuguang Palace to take a look at the palm print of Nian for my lord."

The Minister of Rites stretched out his hand and lifted his chin, as if he had discovered some famous saying, he suddenly said, "It turns out that the prince is injured!"

He said how could someone be able to take the head of an enemy general out of tens of thousands of people, and then retreat with all his strength under heavy pursuit?

It turned out that he was injured too!

Since the Emperor Enzhunian's palm print was requested, Yomo's injury was not serious, otherwise there would be no need to mobilize the crowd like this!
Both Jiufangfeng and Xixin showed indescribable expressions, and the old chief assistant Meng's heart skipped a beat, "What? Is there something unspeakable about Jiufang's military division? Could it be that the prince is seriously injured?"

No wonder sending Qi Gufeng's head into the palace today, the prince didn't even come in person for such an important matter!

Jiu Fangfeng covered her lips and coughed, Zheng Hedi asked eagerly, "Is the emperor really seriously injured?"

Blessed by the ancestors, if it is true, that would be great!

Jiu Fangfeng tried her best to resist the urge to roll her eyes, and coughed again, "That's not true, the prince saw a cluster of very beautiful flowers growing on the cliff on the way back to Beijing, so he went to pick them, accidentally cut his arm."

He couldn't help coughing again as he spoke, "Of course, you don't need Nian's palm print to cut your arm.

That is, those flowers are very weird, they smell fragrant, and when they get on the wound, not only will the wound not heal, but it will also stink.

The prince said, the emperor must ask Nian to go there as soon as possible, he doesn't want to spoil Miss Hua Er."

Everyone, "..."

King Fuguang always has a way to make them suddenly see through his essence when they want to worship him!

Disappointment flashed in Zheng Hedi's eyes, it was not a serious injury!
However, in the presence of the crowd, he still said gently, "Uncle Huang is still a child at heart, come here, go and ask Nian's palm print to go with the Jiufang army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiu Fangfeng leaned over to salute, then slapped his head suddenly as if remembering something, "By the way, Your Majesty, the lord asked my minister to ask if there is any reward for beheading Qi Gufeng's head?

If there is, he wants to ask the emperor for someone, the fifteenth daughter of the Lian family."

The restless excitement in the hall suddenly turned cold, King Fuguang was indeed the same King Fuguang!

Fifteen girls from the Lian family!

Just like this, with the power of an arrow, you will be majestic, and you will ask the emperor openly and aboveboard!
That means King Fuguang can make it!

The gentle smile on the corners of Zhenghedi's mouth froze, the fifteen girls from the Lian family!

In front of him, in front of all civil and military officials, Huo Yanzhi asked him for Lianxiqing in such a grand manner!

He is telling the world that he still thinks about rebelling against the Huo and Lian families who exterminated the clan!
Jiu Fangfeng didn't seem to notice the weird and cold atmosphere in the hall at all, bowed slightly, and stood with hands folded, as if respectfully waiting for the government and the emperor to reply.
