The four gates of Yunshan Fucheng were sealed off, the whole city was under martial law, and the streets and alleys were full of fierce guards. Chu Huan followed Wei Tianqing's order and led a large team to search the whole city for rebels.

But the rebellious party will not engrave words on their faces after all, and since they are well-planned, they must have already planned a retreat. I am afraid that when Lin Dai'er and his party left Yunshan City, they had already quietly disappeared.

As soon as the city was under martial law, all the gates of the streets were closed, the law field was robbed, and the city was on fire. All kinds of things have spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yunshan City.

Chu Huan took a team of soldiers and horses and walked around a few streets, but he didn't find anyone suspicious. In fact, he didn't intend to catch anyone at all.

When the sky became dark, he stopped the team. A cavalry galloped over, got off his horse, and reported: "General Chu Wei, after the Governor ordered you to withdraw the team, go to the Governor's Mansion to listen to the order!"

Chu Huan was startled, then nodded.

Seeing that the sky had darkened, he immediately ordered Wang Han to lead the team back to the camp, while he drove his horse to the governor's mansion.

What happened in the execution ground today, Chu Huan still feels that there are many doubts in it. Qiao Mingtang can serve as a governor. , The wisdom of these two people is definitely among the best.

With the wisdom of these two people, Jing carefully laid out this situation. In fact, Chu Huan guessed early on that there was a possibility of luring the rebellious party and accomplices.

If it is really to lure fish into the bait, even if the execution ground is intentionally loose to lure the enemy into the bait, heavy troops will definitely be deployed on the periphery. Based on Qiao Mingtang's understanding of Yunshan Prefecture City, as long as they are carefully deployed, there will be enough troops to seal off all areas near the execution ground. Although Lin Daier's party was brave and even resorted to various methods such as fire bulls and smoke, it was impossible to escape in the face of the absolute strength and careful preparation of the officers and soldiers.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Qiao Mingtang is negligent and self-righteous, and even a shrewd person like Xu Congyang is also confused, at three quarters noon, the four doors will be closed in advance to prevent the chaotic party from really entering the execution ground Succeeded to break through.

But in fact, everything seems negligent.

Qiao Mingtang arranged for himself to lead people to ambush outside the northern streets and alleys. He only arranged for more than 40 cavalry. Although the number is not too small, it is definitely not too many. If you really want to wipe out the chaotic party, you should arrange more people , to be sure.

And with Qiao Mingtang's wisdom, it is absolutely impossible not to fail to see that the northern street is more likely to be the main direction of breakthrough, but in terms of the deployment of troops, the deployment of troops in the north is the least.

Chu Huan naturally didn't believe that Qiao Mingtang would be so negligent, and even less believed that Xu Congyang was stupid, and even less believed that these two senior officials made such a stupid mistake at the same time.

But the facts are before our eyes. The government's deployment today seems to be very powerful, but in fact it is full of flaws.

If it is not their fault, it can only mean that these situations were intentional.

When he was in the execution ground, he felt that there was something different, but he didn't tell Wei Tianqing clearly, after all, his status was really not high, so it's better not to say too much.

But he kept thinking about it in his heart.

Although he might not be sure for a while, Chu Huan vaguely guessed something.

Chu Huan didn't have any ill feeling towards Lin Daier in his heart, even with Heishuishan's confrontation, he didn't feel disgusted towards Lin Daier, it wasn't because of Lin Daier's beauty, he just felt that Lin Daier's world Gas, not disgusting.

This time, knowing that it was extremely difficult and dangerous, Lin Daier still brought people to rob the execution ground without hesitation, and Chu Huan felt a little bit of admiration for Lin Daier in his heart.

When the people fell to the ground, Chu Huan thought that Lin Dai'er had killed innocent people indiscriminately, and he was also angry, but later found that the people were just unconscious, and the anger disappeared.

Chu Huan values ​​friendship, and Lin Daier also values ​​loyalty, which Chu Huan appreciates very much.

He fought against Lin Daier, the reason is simpler, he is an official, Lin Daier is a thief, and officials and thieves are not equal.

Chu Huan didn't want to meet Lin Dai'er again in the future. Officials and thieves can only meet each other with swords and soldiers. Deep in Chu Huan's heart, he neither wanted to be killed by Lin Dai'er, nor did he really want to be killed. Lin Dai'er, if the two don't meet each other, that kind of thing can be avoided.

He galloped all the way, his mind kept turning, and he had arrived at the governor's mansion before he knew it. There were eight guards guarding the gate of the governor's mansion, holding torches. Chu Huan got off his horse, and a soldier came forward to lead the horse. Knowing Chu Huan, he said: "General Chu Wei, the governor is waiting in the mansion!"

Chu Huan didn't know what Qiao Mingtang was looking for at this time. When he entered the gate, someone had already led him into the courtyard. When Mrs. Qiao came over accompanied by two servant girls and saw Chu Huan, Mrs. Qiao said happily, "Hey, Chu Huan, uh... General Chu Wei!"

Chu Huan hurriedly saluted and said, "My humble general has seen Madam."

Mrs. Qiao smiled and waved her hands: "There is no one else, so there is no need to be polite. That's right, General Chu Wei, I heard from the master that you are going to Beijing?"

Chu Huan bit the bullet and said, "It's all the Governor's favor."

"What does it have to do with him?" Mrs. Qiao said with a smile: "It's King Qi who values ​​you. You have the ability. It's just that after you entered Beijing, the master lost a right-hand man. It's a pity."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Your Excellency has a lot of talents under his command, Chu Huan is really nothing."

Mrs. Qiao smiled charmingly, and said softly: "General Chu Wei, you are highly valued by the King of Qi. With your ability, you will be useful when you arrive in the capital, and you will have a bright future. When you become prosperous in the future, you have to take care of our master."

Chu Huan said: "Madam was joking, it's just the Governor's kindness, Chu Huan will never forget it."

"I knew you were a hero who valued love and loyalty." Mrs. Qiao said with a smile: "Okay, the master is in the back garden, you go, I won't delay you."

Chu Huan smiled and cupped his hands, and followed the servants to the back garden.

Madam Qiao looked at Chu Huan's back and walked away, and sighed softly. A maid next to her whispered, "Why are you sighing, ma'am?"

Mrs. Qiao said: "Chu Huan is a great hero. It's a pity that such a hero is going to be wanted by the King of Qi and cannot be used by the master." He is a member of King Qi, so I don’t know if there will be any conflicts? Well, Chu Huan is a good person, even if King Qi really disagrees with the prince, Chu Huan will not be against the master.”

When Chu Huan came to the back garden, he saw Wei Tianqing and another general, Pan Fu, suddenly in the back garden. Apart from these two, there were seven or eight generals of the imperial guards gathered on the edge of a rockery.

Seeing Chu Huan approaching, Wei Tianqing waved his hand, and Chu Huan stepped forward. Most of these generals knew each other, and many of them were old acquaintances who went to Tongzhou to encircle and suppress Heishuishan last year. They deliberately opposed Chu Huan Li Zongquan was also among them, but there was a man wearing the armor of a general, which Chu Huan had never seen before.

Chu Huan stepped forward and immediately bowed his hands, and everyone also bowed their hands in return. Li Zongquan and Chu Huan had a estrangement, so they just bowed casually.

Wei Tianqing pointed to General Lang and said: "This is General Fei Lang, most of them are in the barracks on weekdays, this is the first time you have seen him."

Chu Huan did know that the barracks of the imperial guards was located in the southeast corner of Yunshanfu City, and he had never been to the barracks.

General Fei Lang seemed to be someone who usually trained soldiers, and he was used to having a cold face. Although he forced a smile when he saw Chu Huan for the first time, the smile was still a little stiff. It seemed that this face was really serious on weekdays.

Chu Huan saluted again and called out "Jiang Fei Lang", General Fei Lang nodded and didn't say much.

But Chu Huan was a little puzzled. At this time, so many high-level and high-level generals of the Imperial Guard were summoned. Among the seven or eight people present, the lowest rank was also a guard general, and General Fei Lang, who was stationed in the barracks, was also summoned. eccentric.

There was a pavilion by the side of the rockery, and there were lanterns hanging on the corner of the pavilion. The lights of the lanterns shone on the rockery, but Chu Huan didn't see Qiao Mingtang's whereabouts, seeing that everyone was waiting here, he couldn't ask more questions.

The more Li Zongquan looked at Chu Huan, the more he disliked him. Chu Huan didn't invite him or provoke him, so he said abruptly: "General Chu Wei, I heard that the rebellious party escaped today from the north where you are responsible. The leaders of that gang of rebellious parties have fought each other, and they all say that you, Chu Wei, have superb sword skills. Even Luo Shiheng's guards, Huang Zhixiao, a thousand households of guards, were not your opponents. How could you be escaped by that rebellious party leader? It seems chaotic The party's martial arts are really unpredictable."

Wei Tianqing had always been annoyed that Lin Dai'er's party had escaped, and when he heard that Li Zongquan could not open which pot he was carrying, he felt a little annoyed and frowned, but Chu Huan said calmly: "It's a pity that it's not Li Wei's general." If you are there, otherwise you will be able to stop the gang of rebellious parties."

Li Zongquan was not even transferred to guard the execution ground today. Hearing Chu Huan's retort, Li Zongquan's face darkened, and when he was about to speak, Wei Tianqing said coldly, "This is the governor's mansion, not a vegetable market!"

Li Zongquan was still very afraid of Wei Tianqing, so he didn't dare to talk too much when Wei Tianqing said that.

At this moment, a servant from the governor's mansion came over with a lantern and said respectfully: "Everyone is tired today, my lord governor, please go and have dinner first." on a trail.

Wei Tianqing frowned slightly, Chu Huan looked at his face, and knew that Wei Tianqing didn't know why he gathered everyone here tonight.

Wei Tianqing hesitated for a moment, and took the lead to follow, followed by all the people. They followed the servant to a courtyard and entered a room, where they saw that there were already two tables of wine and food, and the tables were full of After eating delicacies, a flagon was also placed in front of each seat. The flagon was beautiful in shape, and the smell of vegetables would penetrate everyone's noses as soon as they entered the room.

There are a variety of dishes on the table, including delicacies from mountains and seas, and they are all steaming hot.

Wei Tianqing asked the servant: "Where is the governor?"

The servant said with a smile: "Wei Tongzhi, the governor has ordered you to eat as much as you can here, but you can't drink too much wine, each person only has one pot of wine." Bowed and saluted, Without saying much, he retreated.

All the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what kind of medicine Qiao Mingtang was selling in the gourd for a moment.
