Fenghou

An ox cart stopped in front of the Wazi Gate of Jiangjun Bridge. Liu Huan got out of the ox cart and walked into a teahouse excitedly.

In an elegant room on the second floor of the teahouse, Wang Bo raised his head and laughed, "It's a pity I wasn't there! I didn't see Chen Qing's face of despair."

He gave Liu Huan a thumbs up and said in praise: "You did a good job this time! Does that Shen surname know that you are related to me?"

"He doesn't know. In fact, my younger brother really wants to help him. It's a pity that Lu Xianggong's granddaughter is so beautiful and was acquired by a general."

"The good dishes are all spoiled by pigs. You don't know that Chen Qing has a pair of girls, which makes me jealous! Why can't I get them?"

"Do you want my brother to help?"

Wang Bo was startled, and quickly waved his hands, "Don't act recklessly, that kid is terrifying, he kills people without blinking an eye, and now even I don't dare to provoke him."

Liu Huan smiled sinisterly, "Brother Wang, don't forget, this is Lin'an, not Northwest. Strong dragons are no match for local snakes, don't worry! I have a sense of proportion, and I guarantee that Brother Wang will get what he wants."

"Thank you so much, don't worry! I will take care of what you asked me to do."

2 Chapter Seventy

At night, Yan Jun rushed back to the mansion and reported to Chen Qing: "The humble job probably found some clues."

"What did you find?" Chen Qing asked.

"That martial arts gym is called Zhenwei Martial Arts Gym. There are three proprietors in total. One of them is Liu Huan. He is the nephew of Liu Jin, a college student. He is from the same town as Shen Gai. The two have a very close relationship."

Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Shen should know about that!"

"But when we interrogated the warrior in black, Shen Jie didn't know about it beforehand, and Shen Jie returned to his hometown this afternoon."

Chen Qing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then asked, "Who are the other two proprietors of that martial arts gym?"

"It seems that they are all palace guards, one is called Ding Yi, and the other is called Wang Bo."

"Wang Bo?"

Chen Qing was startled, "Is it Qin Hui's nephew Wang Bo?"

Yan Jun only became Chen Qing's personal soldier in the second half of last year, and he didn't know the grievances between Chen Qing and Wang Bo.

Yan Jun thought for a while and said, "It's possible. The person who gave me the news said that Wang Bo has a relative who is the current prime minister."

Chen Qing's eyes showed murderous intent, and if he didn't show his power, they really treated themselves as a sick cat.

Chen Qing took a few steps and asked, "How did the five warriors deal with it?"

"Break each of their legs according to the order of the ruler!"

Chen Qing nodded, "If there are still people watching my mansion tonight or tomorrow, then cut off their heads and throw them into Liu Huan's house."

……

At two o'clock, outside Chen Qing's mansion, two groups of men in black unexpectedly bumped into each other and started fighting in the alley next to the mansion. There were nearly 20 people on one side, and only seven or eight people on the other side, screaming pitifully. The sound alarmed Chen Qing's soldiers, and ten soldiers rushed out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the men in black fled away one after another, leaving behind seven or eight corpses.

Chen Qing walked out quickly with a long halberd in his hand, and he asked sharply, "What happened?"

Yan Jun came forward to report: "Reporting to the government, two groups of men in black had a fierce battle in the alley. Seven people were killed and two were seriously injured. The two seriously injured were warriors from the Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy. The other dead seemed to be from the Martial Arts Academy. warrior!"

"Come and see!" Two soldiers shouted not far away.

Yan Jun ran over, and Chen Qing also walked forward slowly, and saw a dead man lying under a big tree, holding a crossbow arrow, and was pierced through the vest with a sword. Same.

Tear off his mask, his face and hairstyle are not Han Chinese, but rather like the Khitan or Jurchens in Liaodong.

"Control is the golden soldier!"

Yan Jun took out a waist card from his pocket, it was clearly a golden soldier.

"It's the assassin sent by Wanyanchang!"

Chen Qing narrowed his eyes. Jin Bing never hides his identity, nor does he bother to hide his identity, and he will never stop until he reaches his goal.

"not good!"

Chen Qing suddenly realized something, turned around and ran towards the mansion. If it was a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, the two young ladies would be in danger.

As soon as he ran to the atrium, he heard two screams. These voices were from the old man, the old couple who were guarding the gate.

Chen Qing ran as fast as lightning, and rushed to the back house in an instant, only to see two people fallen in front of the back house door, they were the old couple who were guarding the gate.

Immediately afterwards two crossbow arrows 'whoosh!Whoosh! The shot came straight to Chen Qing's neck and temple, as fast as lightning, Chen Qing waved his hand, and there were two crisp sounds, and the two crossbow arrows were knocked away by Fang Tian's painted halberd.

The two men in black flashed out and rushed straight at Chen Qing. Before they could get close, Chen Qing turned around and slashed at Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hands at an incomparably fast speed. .

"Crack!"

Two human heads flew up, and the headless corpse ran a few steps before falling to the ground with blood spraying from the neck cavity.

There were more than [-] golden soldiers behind them. They were frightened and hesitated. The leader was a centurion. He shouted, "Let's go together!"

More than [-] people shouted and rushed forward, Chen Qing roared, brandished a long halberd and charged in, his heart was full of murderous intent, wherever he passed, limbs were disintegrated, corpses were separated, internal organs were all over the ground, half of the Jurchens were killed in two charges assassin.

The other Jurchen Assassins were a little terrified when they saw how fierce he was. Chen Qing returned his carbine sharply, and the tip of the halberd pierced the back of the centurion's neck, and the tip of the halberd protruded from his throat.

"Retreat!" The remaining Jurchen assassins turned to retreat. At this moment, Yan Jun led other soldiers to kill them, cutting off the Jurchen assassins' retreat.

The crowd attacked back and forth, and none of the remaining Jurchen assassins escaped, and they were all killed.

Chen Qing wiped the blood from his body, and ordered: "Search again in the mansion carefully, kill all the assassins, and execute the wounded outside, and then report to the police!"

Now, the three of Liu Huan must be unable to eat and walk around, and the charge of colluding with the Jurchens to assassinate General Song cannot be escaped.

Everyone led the order to search separately. Chen Qing quickly came to the room of Yu's sisters, opened the door and went in. He was shocked. He saw that the bedside, wall and cabinet of the two were full of crossbow bolts, and they were poisoned crossbow bolts. , there are more than [-] sticks, and there are traces of being hacked by knives on the bed and cabinets. The Jurchen assassins have obviously entered.

"A-Lian, A-Ying!" Chen Qing shouted anxiously.

After a while, two little guys slowly crawled out from under the bed. The two were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they threw themselves into Chen Qing's arms and cried.

Chen Qing put his arms around the two little ladies, and saw that the bed was very low, and the gap below was only one foot high. The two little ladies were relatively petite, and they just slipped in, but the Jurchen assassin couldn't get in.

"It's okay, the assassins have all been wiped out." Chen Qing comforted the two sisters in a low voice.

"They stabbed the bed with knives, and my ears were cut off." Yu Ying cried.

Chen Qing hurriedly touched her ear, and there was indeed a small cut, which was full of blood.

"A-Lian, go get the medicine box and stop the bleeding for my sister, hurry up!"

Yu Lian was so frightened that her legs trembled, but she plucked up her courage and ran to the outside room. After a while, she brought a medicine box, and Chen Qing skillfully cleaned the small wound on Yu Ying's ear, sprinkled the medicine powder, and applied plaster to her. superior.

"I'll fetch water!" Yu Lian tremblingly wanted to go out.

"Don't go out, I'll come!"

Chen Qing called her to stop, the yard was full of dead bodies, it would scare her.

Chen Qing quickly went to his room. His room was in a mess, and it was also full of crossbow bolts, but the back window was knocked open, and the assassin came in through the back window.

Chen Qing searched around with a halberd, but found no hidden assassin, so he went to sister Yu's room with a copper pot filled with hot water.

……

Half an hour later, Wei Hong, the captain of Qiantang County, led more than [-] archers to arrive. Hearing that the assassin was a Jurchen, Wei Hong's face changed, and Jin Bing was actually involved. This is an extremely serious matter, and he cannot handle it. .

Wei Hong hurriedly sent someone to notify the patrolling army, and within a moment, Liu Kai, the commander-in-chief on duty, arrived personally leading a thousand soldiers.

Chen Qing walked out of the mansion, the lights outside were brightly lit, the leading general was Liu Kai.

"Liu Dutong, long time no see!" Chen Qing walked out quickly.

"Chen Tongzhi, what's going on?" Liu Kai asked in surprise.

"I encountered a Jurchen assassin. More than [-] people attacked my house at night. After a fierce battle, I was lucky enough to kill the opponent."

Chen Qing left a pile of badges on the ground, "This is their identity badge, and they don't want to hide their identities at all."

"Where's the corpse?"

"It's all piled up in the living room!"

Liu Kai waved his hand, and the commander Wang Hui led more than 100 people in to check.

Liu Kai stepped forward and said to Chen Qing with a solemn expression, "Wan Yanchang wants to assassinate you?"

"It should be! You can't kill me on the battlefield, and you can't do anything at first."

"You have to be careful yourself, they won't let it go, if you fail once, there must be a second time."

Chen Qing nodded, "I have already experienced it."

At this time, the commander Wang Hui came out and said to Liu Kai in a low voice: "We have met the chief centurion. He is Wan Yanchang's personal guard centurion. It is confirmed that he is a Jurchen. It's different from Jin Bing."

"Chen Tongzhi, why are there Han assassins?"

"It should be the Han Chinese spies who colluded with Jin Bing and led the way for Jin Bing. They used the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, pretending to scream, and led my soldiers out of the house and dragged them back. I was surrounded, fortunately I can learn some martial arts, otherwise my life will be gone tonight."

Liu Kai gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are these Han warriors?"

Chen Qing thought for a while and said, "There was a Han man who was seriously injured and survived. When my subordinates questioned him, he said the words 'Zhenwei Wuguan'."

"I know this Zhenwei Martial Art Museum, it's at the General Bridge."

Liu Kai immediately said to Wang Hui: "You lead five hundred brothers to Jiangjun Bridge and surround the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall. Everyone inside will be arrested, and those who resist will be punished as spies by Jinren, and they will be killed!"

"Follow the order!" Wang Hui ran away with five hundred soldiers.

Chapter 271

Chen Qing frowned and said, "I can't understand why Wan Yanchang is so bold to publicly assassinate the general of the Song Dynasty. Isn't he afraid of being held accountable by the court?"

Liu Kai shook his head, "The reason why Wan Yanchang dared to be so arrogant is because a major event happened, which is extremely unfavorable to the Song Dynasty."

"What's the big deal?"

Liu Qi lowered his voice and said: "Yesterday morning, I received a message from Feiying that Liu Guangshi's [-] troops were in the east of Yangzhou, and they encountered the [-] cavalry of Commander Wanyan Nianhan. They didn't even know that the Jin soldiers were coming. It's Qi Jun."

"The results of it?"

Liu Kai smiled wryly, "I don't know yet, there should be a military report tomorrow morning, so it's probably more or less ominous!"

Chen Qing said slowly: "From the beginning, it was a strategy to lure troops. Using Yangzhou as a bait to lure Liu Shiguang's army to go north should be Wan Yanchang's handwriting, which is exactly the same as the strategy of withdrawing troops from Shaanxi Road Jinbing. .”

"What is the purpose of Jin Bing doing this?" Liu Kai was really puzzled.

Chen Qing sneered and said: "It should be to cooperate with Wan Yanchang's mission. If there is no bargaining chip, he will create a bargaining chip, and then threaten the court to renew the armistice agreement. Once the war in the east ceases, the golden soldiers will definitely transfer the [-] eastern gold soldiers to Shaanxi. At that time, it was the Qi puppet army who came to defend the Jianghuai."

Liu Kai sighed, "I'm afraid that at that time, the imperial court will no longer have the courage to take a step across the Yangtze River. The strategy of the Jin people is really better than ours, and they will follow each step without leaking."

Chen Qing thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the internal struggle of the Jin people. The emperor of the Jin Kingdom wanted to weaken Nianhan's military power and hand over his tens of thousands of troops to Wanyan Wushu."

"What you said is also reasonable, but these things are far away from us. The real reality is that Wan Yanchang will kill you unscrupulously, and the court will still dare not let a fart go. Maybe they will use this Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall to cover the tank."

"That's okay, you have to give me an explanation!"

Chen Qing smiled lightly, he could not deal with Yan Chang temporarily, he could go to the battlefield to deal with him.

But if Liu Huan and Wang Bo were not dealt with, Chen Qing felt really uncomfortable, and it just so happened that they were asked to cover the tank for this assassination case.

……

At five o'clock, a rush of war horses came from a distance, and the defenders of Yuhang Gate looked out, and saw a few men on horseback running towards this side at high speed, and heard the ringing of bells from afar. .

"It seems to be Jinzizijidel!" The soldiers all recognized the ringtone, which is unique to Jinzijizizi.

There are two kinds of express delivery, one is ordinary express delivery, which can be used by ordinary people, and the other is gold letter express delivery, which is only used to deliver military reports and extremely important official documents.

The difference between the two is the color of the baggage on the body. Ordinary urgency is black, while jinzi urgency is yellow and golden, and jinzi urgency will ring the bell to notify the front to make way.

After a while, several horsemen rushed to the city, and the leading knight shouted: "Eight hundred miles urgently report to the army, open the door quickly!"

The city gate opened an opening, and a soldier came out to verify their tokens, waved their hands, and the city gate slowly opened, and three messengers rushed into the city gate on horseback, and galloped in the direction of Da Nei...

Just before dawn, the news that Chen Qing was assassinated by Jin Bing assassins spread quietly. The Jin Guo Pavilion was surrounded by a thousand imperial guards, and the Song army did not attack the gate. The Jin Guo Pavilion was dead silent, as if there was no one there.

At this time, Yang Yizhong rushed over with dozens of cavalrymen and asked loudly, "Where is the general?"

Liu Qi greeted him, "What's the matter with Yang Dutong?"

Yang Yizhong held up a gold medal and said loudly: "The government has ordered that all troops withdraw immediately!"

Liu Kai said dissatisfied: "But Wan Yanchang sent someone to assassinate Chen Tongzhi, the evidence is convincing, so let's not pursue it?"

Yang Yizhong pulled Liu Qi aside, and said in a low voice: "The officials received an urgent military report at eight hundred miles this morning, and Liu Guangshi's [-] troops were wiped out in Yangzhou. Only Liu Guangshi and a few hundred people escaped." Changjiang, the officials were terrified and demanded to sign an armistice agreement immediately this morning and agree to all the conditions of Jin Guo. The assassination case is no longer important."
