Funing Hall

The sound was so loud that even the drowsy Rantao woke up.She was dazed to hear the loud noise outside, and suddenly she was stupefied, she immediately got up, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty!" There was still a pain in her waist and abdomen, she frowned and fell back again, did she stretch out her hands to support the bed? .

Rantao who is unconscious can wake up, one can imagine what happened to the rest of the people.

The dignified emperor of the Song Dynasty was humiliated by Jiang Wei in such a way that almost no one present could bear it.

Only two people remained calm, one was Zhao Cong and the other was Mu Fu.

Lu Yuan is also lively and has been with Zhao Cong for a long time. He summoned up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, what should I do? You should say something!"

On the contrary, Zhao Cong smiled and continued, "No hurry."

Lu Yuan's eyes turned red: "Small life, don't take it seriously, but your majesty—Jiang Weitai is not a thing! The Jiang family deserves to die!"

Zhao Cong said lightly, "Sometimes they will die."

"..." Lu Yuan choked, full of worry and could not speak anymore, the few people in their room looked at each other, and suddenly calmed down a lot.

Around midnight, the fire was still shining on half the sky outside.The surrounding people also threatened with harsh words from time to time, Zhao Cong laughed to himself, knowing that Jiang Wei did it on purpose, so that the whole city would know that he was justified and was responsible for righteousness.

The more Jiang Wei cared, the more determined he became.

He was really worried that if Jiang Wei's head got hot, he would ignore everything.

Lu Yuan also calmed down quite a bit. Seeing that it was midnight, he asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, does your head still hurt? Why don't you go to sleep for a while?"

Zhao Cong couldn't help laughing, the little eunuch Lu Yuan was also very interesting, and he was so scared that he almost cried.He said a few words to calm down. At such a moment, he directly advised him to go to sleep and rest.

He smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I can hold on."

Lu Yuan looked at Dr. Bai, and Dr. Bai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, can I have another look at you, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Cong nodded and told him to come to him. Doctor Bai bent down to watch.Ran Tao's voice hurriedly came from outside: "Your Majesty, this is outside—" The voice was still weak.

Zhao Cong looked up happily: "Are you awake?"

"The servant girl is awake, what's going on outside?" Rantao only remembered the assassin before he passed out, and he also woke up in a daze on the way, but he didn't remember anything.At this moment, she was very nervous, and she thought they were really in a big crisis.

"It's okay——" Zhao Cong still said the same words, before he finished speaking, someone outside came in to report: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong outside."

"What's wrong?"

"Someone seems to be 'breathing fire' from the direction outside the city, but the fire is a bit big, and it spits out several times, and it jumps up very high! Even with so many torches outside, you can still see it!"

Zhao Cong was certain in his heart, got up, walked to the door in person, looked towards the east, and happened to see the last ray of light.

Zhao Cong showed a satisfied smile, it seems that Xie Wenrui is here.

Jiang Weizi also noticed it, he squinted his eyes and asked, "What is that?"

The lieutenants identified it carefully and said: "It seems that the common people often like to play with fire. Every festival, many people in the city set fire."

"In the middle of the night, why set fire? Besides, how can it be so high?"

It's not that Jiang Wei has never seen common people playing this thing, but this time the fire was a little too high, he was a little worried, and simply said: "You take a hundred people to see what's going on, it's just right, let's go down!" It's time for a pacification army to come."

"Yes!" The deputy general counted the people and went out of the city together.

Jiang Wei took the opportunity to yell a few more words loudly, and the soldiers agreed again to scare Zhao Cong and others.

"Your Majesty? What should this person do?" The people who were in the forest outside the city were also hiding in the city at this time. Unfortunately, Shao Yi fell into their yard after being seriously injured.

The eyes of the person known as the king flashed: "Hide it first, don't let someone search it."

"Success, then shall we continue to watch the good show?"

"Look, why don't you watch it?" The king touched his chin, "It's rare to watch such a show."

When the sky began to turn white, Jiang Wei and the others were still guarding around the alley, and every hour someone shouted, urging "Xizuo" to submit to Song Dynasty, but "Xizuo" naturally did not respond.

Jiang Wei's patience is almost exhausted, but he knows that his impatience is a big taboo, so he encourages patience and still asks people to shout from time to time.

These actions made Taiyuan City still look like a dead city even though it was already dawn, and no one dared to go out.

The lieutenant general who went out of the city to inquire about the news brought someone back and reported: "My lord, there are about [-] infantrymen coming, and they are heading towards the city right now. As for the spit of fire, the officials went to see it. It was a wealthy family outside the city who had a wedding. , invited jugglers, that is a new thing from the south. That family is now surrounded by us."

Jiang Wei was delighted when he heard that the Ping Ding army had come to another [-], and felt that the plan was all carried out according to his own plan, so he didn't take what he said seriously.Besides, fire-breathing stuff is already amusing, how can it be taken seriously?

He happily said "OK" three times.

There are more than 1 troops in the city, [-] troops outside the city, and the rest of the Pingding Army and Xixia reinforcements who are rushing here.

Jiang Wei's confidence increased greatly. During the day, he shouted every other hour to once every half hour.Even ordinary soldiers became impetuous following the increasingly impatient Jiang Wei, and they couldn't wait any longer.

Master Li, the leader of the Xiang army, said a lot on the way, but Jiang Wei ignored them.

Master Li simply said: "Master Jiang won't listen to me, then I will leave now!"

"Wait! Where are you going?!" Jiang Wei stopped him.

Master Li sneered: "Master Jiang has no right to ask where I am going, right? I only obey Master Du!"

Jiang Wei also sneered, using Du Yu to suppress him?He has been annoying that old man Du Yu for too long, he snorted and said: "Master Li, you will not listen to Master Du from now on."

Master Li frowned: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Weixiao then ordered: "Take them down together!"

Master Li and others are only a few thousand, how can they compete with Jiang Wei and others?After some scuffling, they were finally brought down, and after such a scuffle, some people were killed and wounded, and the smell of blood was in the air, which further stimulated the soldiers who had been guarding all night.

Jiang Wei was also greatly stimulated, but he finally endured until the night of the night came, and issued an ultimatum: "If you don't let go and arrest you, don't blame me for being rude!"

The soldiers shouted loudly: "Why are you being polite with foreign countries?!"

"Exactly!"

I don't know who shouted: "Burn him!"

Then more people echoed: "Burn him! Burn him!"

Then more than 2 people shouted loudly: "Burn them! Burn them! Burn them!"

When the momentum was at its highest, Jiang Wei said loudly: "Okay!"

"Burn them! Burn them! Burn them!"

"Light it up again!" Jiang Wei ordered.

All the soldiers around with torches were set on fire. Jiang Wei was on the horse and said loudly: "Give me another half an hour to think about it. If you come out obediently, the archers will never kill you! If you don't come out again, don't think I Da Song Erlang is a bully!"

The soldiers echoed loudly.

Half an hour was both slow and fast, but there was still no movement inside.

Jiang Wei was so excited that his hands even shook, he thought that Zhao Cong was at the end of the road, he had nowhere to hide, and he couldn't come out to be captured, so he would have to be burned to death!

God help him!

He took a lighted torch from his subordinates, pointed the torch at the house in the distance, and said loudly: "Foreign spies have invaded our Great Song Dynasty, and they don't want to be arrested without a fight. For His Majesty's plan, for my Great Song Dynasty, burn it! "

When the soldiers obeyed the order, they howled excitedly, and made a gesture to throw the torch to the house.

Amidst the howling of wolves, the door of Sanjin's house was suddenly opened.

The archers on the surrounding roofs cheered up and lowered their heads to take aim, but they had been lying on the roof for a day and two nights, and they were a little tired. There were 30 to [-] people, about the same as them, even wearing armor, clearly dressed as forbidden soldiers.

These archers didn't know who was in the house, they all thought it was Xi Xia's elaboration, and they were taken aback when they saw this situation.

The battle in the Song Dynasty pays attention to the word "array". Everything has an array, and one must obey orders.They are serious soldiers, not ordinary guards. They have learned these things in the past, and they didn't dare to act rashly, just waiting for Jiang Wei to show them.

Jiang Wei was also a little dazed, he didn't expect that Zhao Cong and others would have the guts to open the door!

Just at this time, the sound of horseshoes came from the city gate, and the deputy general whispered: "My lord! Someone is coming again!"

These words gave Jiang Wei more confidence, he laughed loudly, still sitting on the horse, and said loudly: "Would you like to obediently catch me when you wait for the fine work?!"

After he finished speaking, there was a burst of silence.

And this quietness is still the quietness after the fierce howling of ghosts and wolves, so it seems even quieter.

In the silence, a clear voice suddenly sounded: "What about you? Are you willing to obediently and get caught?"

Jiang Wei raised her eyebrows.

He still met Zhao Cong a few times when he was young, and when Zhao Cong became an adult, he hid in Taiyuan City and never returned to Beijing.Although he heard his father repeat it, it was the first time he met Zhao Cong face to face, even though he only heard Zhao Cong's voice for the time being.

Zhao Cong's voice was very pleasant and gentle.

Jiang Wei was a little uncomfortable and worried for no reason, but soon he felt relieved, and said with disdain: "What is your purpose in coming to my Song Dynasty?! You Xixia, what explanation did you give you?! You stole our Da Song How many things does Song have?!"

Zhao Cong laughed.

Laughter spread far away in the autumn night. When Zhao Cong was not in charge, he made countless women cry with his emotional words in the Xuande Tower, and even aroused the admiration of countless disciples. support him without reason.

This laughter, which deliberately added a lot of emotion, was blown by the autumn wind, and many people who didn't know it were a little confused.

Is this Xixia secret work?

Is Xixia's elegant voice so beautiful?

Xixia's secret work was supposed to be a street mouse, how could it be so indifferent?

After chuckling, before everyone could react, several dying cries suddenly sounded.

Jiang Wei came back to his senses, only to see that the archers around the house were gone.From Jiang Wei's point of view, they couldn't see that there were archers in the courtyard, they could only see the 30-member archer squad, which suddenly disappeared!

Jiang Wei was a little surprised, but he heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance getting closer and closer. He knew that this was the cavalry army from the Pingding Army. Xixia worked carefully and continued to speak out to force justice.

Seeing the injured or dead archers falling to the ground in the courtyard, Zhao Cong smiled again.

Everyone can only see that he is frail, just like in his previous life, people only saw him as handsome, and they subconsciously thought that he was easy to bully and talkative.They still don't understand that the more such a person is, the more tenacity there is in their hearts that will never fade away no matter what.

A wise man always convinces, hurts, and even kills with a smile.

Although he was personable in his previous life, he was a person who loved extreme sports very much.

The more nervous he is, the more excited he will actually feel.

Surrounded by bows and arrows and fire, the people in front of him are all eyeing him and his throne.

But what is he afraid of?

He lifted his foot and walked straight out of the house.

To everyone's surprise, he stood directly in front of the house, facing Jiang Wei, only a few tens of feet away.

Jiang Wei is a martial artist, the things he can think of in his mind are limited after all, and he has aides for his usual calculations, but the aides are not around today.Faced with this kind of thing that he thought would never happen even if the sky fell, he was really stunned.

All his subordinates followed orders, but he froze, and they didn't dare to move.

Zhao Cong's personal guards were all one in a million, holding bows, arrows and crossbows, they followed him out of the house, surrounded Zhao Cong tightly, and all the weapons in their hands were aimed at Jiang Wei alone.

Everyone knows the truth of capturing the thief first.

They took a quick step and aimed at Jiang Wei first.

Obviously they were only 30 to [-] people, but after only a short while, their aura seemed to overwhelm Jiang Wei and everyone else.

Zhao Cong is wearing a red dress, standing between lights, armor and danger.But with his hands behind his back, he was calm and calm, with a light smile on his face.

Jiang Wei was stunned for a long time, until the sound of horseshoes in the distance came closer, and then he came back to his senses, because all the bows and arrows were aimed at him alone, he really didn't dare to act rashly, he would die if he moved.But he was full of confidence, finally showed a disdainful smile, and said: "You are nothing more than Xi Xia, like a rat crossing the street—"

Before the words were finished, Du Yu's voice came out from behind Zhao Cong: "Presumptuous!"

Jiang Wei frowned.

Du Yu came out from behind Zhao Cong, first knelt down and confessed: "Your Majesty, as the magistrate of Taiyuan, I failed to manage my subordinates well, please punish me!"

Countless gasps suddenly sounded in the air. This person is actually His Majesty? !

Zhao Cong said calmly, "What does this matter have to do with you? Some people want to die, even gods can't stop them. Get up."

Du Yu pleaded a few more times, got up and turned to Jiang Wei, angrily scolded: "Jiang Wei! You are only a judge of Taiyuan Mansion! Without the official order, how can you order the city gate to be closed, and how can you search Taiyuan City?! What are you thinking?!"

Jiang Wei had a gloomy face and remained silent.

"I sent Xiangjun Commander Li Daren to negotiate with you, where is he? You closed the city gate privately, searched the city, and dare to speak nonsense here?!"

Jiang Wei had never been reprimanded like this before. Although Du Yu, an old bastard, did not deal with him, he had never made him face like this.Jiang Wei sneered: "Lord Du, don't talk nonsense. You say this is His Majesty, who can prove that he is His Majesty?! I want you to tell me that it was you, Lord Du, who colluded with Xixia Xixia and wanted to betray Song Dynasty!"

Du Yu didn't expect him to bite back, sneered, and without any nonsense, simply took out a short shaft from his sleeve.

Zhao Cong recognized what it was at a glance, Du Yu looked at him, Zhao Cong nodded.

Du Yu simply unfolded the short axis, and said loudly: "This is the will that His Majesty bestowed on me. Your Majesty once said that it can be used at critical moments! Now is the time when it is available." Du Yu knelt towards Zhao Cong, "Please His Majesty allows."

"allow."

Du Yu saluted, stood up again, and read the decree himself, which contained the content of the critical moment, His Majesty allowed him to arrest Jiang Wei alone without going to Kaifeng to report.

After reading it like this, everyone became even more quiet.

Not everyone has the heart to rebel, His Majesty's will is bigger than the sky, especially His Majesty himself is here, even though their leaders say it is not.

Du Yu is the real magistrate of Taiyuan, and they all recognize him. Can the imperial decree he read be false?

After hearing His Majesty's will, most of the ordinary soldiers felt a little panicked, and their morale dropped a lot in an instant.

Jiang Weiqi said: "Who knows if you just made up this at will!"

Du Yu said coldly: "Looking at the whole world, who has the guts to fabricate His Majesty's words?"

"Master Du insists on arresting me?"

"nature."

Jiang Wei snorted a few times, and when he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, he simply went all out and said loudly: "Who cares if His Majesty said it himself! I, Jiang Wei, will go all out today!"

Du Yu hurriedly said: "Are you going to rebel?!"

"That's right! I want to rebel! Our Duke of Qi was established by the Taizu, stationed in Taiyuan, and guarded the Song Dynasty for a hundred years. Who would have thought that Zhao Cong would suppress me and take away the title of Duke of Qi! If the Taizu knew, he would take Jiang for me Everyone complains! Zhao Cong is incapable of governing the country, he has no ability, it is better to change his surname in this country!"

"Your Majesty is right here, how dare you say such a thing!"

Jiang Wei laughed loudly: "Hahaha today it's against me! Besides, who can testify whether the person next to you is the emperor? Even if he is the emperor, so what? After tonight, all of you will have nothing to lose." Return!" After he finished speaking, he held up the torch in his hand again, and said loudly, "My sons and daughters, I, Jiang Wei, swear here today. As long as those who follow me tonight, those who make great contributions can be promoted and promoted. As long as you swear to die Back off, there are countless gold and silver treasures to pay, and women, everything! As long as you wait with me Jiang Wei today, in the future, my Jiang family dynasty will never treat you badly!"

At this time, Jiang Wei's lieutenant simply said loudly: "Swear to die to follow the prince!!"

The Zhijun of the Pingding Army also hurriedly said: "Instead of messing around here with no future, it is better to follow the general to fight for the world!"

"Kill!!!" More and more people responded.

Jiang Wei looked at Zhao Cong smugly, but Zhao Cong still looked at him with a faint smile, neither startled nor afraid.

This made Jiang Wei even more angry. How dare he kill him with his sickly appearance? !Those soldiers didn't dare to move!He's afraid of shit!He said loudly: "All archers are on standby!"

The lieutenant general also said: "Set up a square formation!"

In the narrow alley, they quickly arranged the most suitable formation.

Zhao Cong still stood calmly, the guards around him tightly protected him, the bow, arrow and crossbow were still facing Jiang Wei, waiting for Zhao Cong's order.

Jiang Wei is also a daring person, and was about to order everyone to do it.

Suddenly there was a scream from behind the team, Jiang Wei was taken aback for a moment, but the scream became louder and louder.Jiang Wei was particularly puzzled, what happened in the rear?

Until someone yelled: "Sneak attack—ah—" the people disappeared.

Jiang Wei panicked, subconsciously going to walk backwards.

Du Yu shouted: "Jiang Wei wants to run away!"

Zhao Cong calmly said, "Aim at him."

Jiang Wei tried his best to calm down, he has so many troops, so what if someone is targeting him, there are still fire and bows and arrows around, he is afraid of the ass!He turned around and said with a sneer: "Today, it's decided against me! Give it to me! Capture Du Yu and the secret agents around him alive! Whoever's arrow is the fastest, hit them both first, and in the future it will be me, Jiang Wei's boss!" General!"

These words were very inspiring, and someone immediately aimed at Zhao Cong.

Someone even drew the bow and arrow, and suddenly there was a shocking sound in the air, and then a fireball flew through the air, landed on the archer on the right, and immediately boiled with a "bang", burning into pieces.

Jiang Wei was shocked!

What is this? !

But before he could take a closer look, there was another loud noise, and then another fireball fell, which happened to land in the center of their phalanx, burning them upright, and many people howled in pain.

The scene changed immediately!

Jiang Wei knew that a helper was here, but before he could figure out what was going on, the lieutenant could still shout loudly: "Shooting arrows backward——"

As soon as the words fell, the third fireball fell to the ground, burning the lieutenant general and the archer on the left.

These three fireballs burned at least a few hundred people, but they were all elite soldiers.

Jiang was not irritated, and there was another sound, and the fourth fireball was coming.Jiang Wei simply jumped up and rushed towards Zhao Cong. He has armor on his body and a hat on his head. As long as he protects his eyes, he is not afraid of bows and arrows.As long as he can kill Zhao Cong today, no matter how many fireballs there are, there is no need to worry!

Zhao Cong didn't guard against this time, Jiang Wei was still like this!

He stepped back subconsciously, and the archers around him fired their arrows, and they did hit Jiang Wei.Jiang Wei shielded his face with his arm, and was hit by several arrows, but he was unmoved, and even if he died, he would pull Zhao Cong on his back!He threw himself in front of Zhao Cong, drew out the long knife at his side and slashed at Zhao Cong. When he was only a little away, a feathered arrow suddenly came from a distance, and it just happened to shoot into Jiang Wei's right eye.

"Ah!!!" Jiang Wei yelled sadly, shaking his hands, and fell to the ground together with the knife, the people around Zhao Cong hurried forward to restrain him.

Zhao Cong heaved a sigh of relief, and looked in the direction where the arrow came from.

A strange and tall figure stood on the roof, with the moonlight behind his back, and his face could not be seen clearly, but he could be vaguely seen looking at this place, as if smiling.
