Chapter 150 Returning Home for Temporary Refuge
The most heartbreaking thing in life is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to someone else, and the greatest hatred in life is for a black-haired person to die miserably. Shen Chong takes full advantage of both.
!Wang Dun suddenly ordered him to retreat, which made Shen Chong extremely unwilling. He understood that with this retreat, he might not have the chance to lead the army into the city, and revenge would be far away. However, it was difficult to disobey Wang Dun's military order and he had to retreat!
Yunfeng had not finished using his eighteen moves yet, and was reluctant to do so. Watching Shen Chong's troops gradually go away, Zhang Lingyun coldly snorted: "Shen Chong is Wang Dun's favorite general, how can Wang Dun be fair and upright?" I see, the most I can do is give me a light punishment just to show off.*”
Yunfeng took Zhang Lingyun's plain hand, played with it, and said with a slight smile: "Lingyun, don't be in a hurry. To kill the Yixing Shen family, you need to plan more carefully, and let him live a little longer."
.”
Zhang Lingyun stamped her feet, twitched her hands and said, "Yunlang, bring me the Ziyun Bow. I will never allow this thief to live in the world again, not even for one more day!"
Zhang Lingyun has a very serious character, and she tells the truth. When Yunfeng was her subordinate in Liangzhou, he had already experienced this woman's stubborn temper countless times. Shen Chong, a mere Shen Chong, would be killed. At most, it was just a minor trouble. Yunfeng was not Wanting to go against his beloved wife's wishes for such a trivial matter, he took the Ziyun Bow from his personal guard and handed it over, saying, "Do you want to accompany me as your husband?"
Zhang Lingyun grabbed the Ziyun Bow and took out the arrow, shook her head: "I can shoot hidden arrows in the cold, I can do it alone." After saying that, he flashed and ran into the courtyard of the house. Under the cover of the night, He easily avoided the guards and climbed to the top of a tall building while there was no one around. After a moment, Shen Jin appeared in sight.
Zhang Lingyun put on the feather arrow and aimed slightly downward, then loosened the bowstring violently, and with a soft sound of "Stretch!", a sharp sonic boom roared out from the fingertips.
Shen Jin was feeling the pain of losing his son, and when he was uneasy, his scalp went numb suddenly, and a sense of danger came with the harsh sound of breaking through the air. He was so frightened that he had no time to wave his weapon to block, so he could only rely on Instinctively ducked to the side!
The arrow missed the right cheek and penetrated into the chest of a guard behind him. But there was a burning pain in his right ear. Shen Chong stretched out his hand to touch it, and his face turned extremely ugly in an instant! Damn it! There was no ear. Gone! Shot away by an arrow! This era is not like later generations, where parts are missing from the body. As long as they are picked up in time, they may be able to be put back in their original places, but if they are gone, they are gone. If one ear is missing, the immortal will be gone. There is no way to help grow another one.
Shen Chong looked like a madman and was furious: "Yunfeng! You despicable villain, you have the guts to come out and fight me with real swords and guns! How can you be a hero by secretly firing cold arrows?"
Unexpectedly, Yunfeng's harsh scolding came from a distance: "Shen Chong, you are such a bitch.
! Looking for scolding, right? But being a bitch? Come, I will play with you when you come back! If you don’t come, your whole family will be the offspring of a tortoise. They are the descendants of bastards..."
The envoy suppressed his laughter and turned around to persuade: "I'm afraid General Shen has blamed the wrong person. Listening to the voice, General Yun should be still in the house. There must be someone else involved in this matter. General Shen will ask the Prime Minister to come forward and investigate later." , please bandage it quickly now, but don’t keep the Prime Minister waiting for a long time.”
Shen Chong looked in the direction of the arrow with his fire-breathing eyes, but the building was a building, the tree was a tree, and the assassin had long since disappeared. It was as if nothing had happened, and he felt a tightness in his chest!
"Huh" he let out a big mouthful of turbid air. Shen Chong was also a ruthless person. He stretched out his hand and yanked a few scraps of skin from his ear, stuffing it into his mouth. He smacked his lips and swallowed it alive. He went down! He took a piece of his clothes and wiped the blood casually, and continued to ride his horse unwillingly.
Zhang Lingyun fired an arrow without observing the result. She was full of confidence in her archery skills and immediately ran away. When she heard Shen Chong yelling and swearing, she felt bad. Although she was secretly annoyed, she could only If you can give up for now, look for another opportunity next time.
The journey was silent all the way. When they came, they were eager to fight, but when they left, they abandoned their helmets and armor. More than 6,000 defeated soldiers returned to Stone City again. Shen Chong was taken to the main hall of the military mansion by the envoy. The envoy raised his hand and said: "General Shen, please leave, Prime Minister. Right in the palace."
Shen Chong nodded and walked in, only to see Wang Dun high up on the seat that originally belonged to him, followed by the chief conspirator Qian Feng.
Shen Chong came closer, knelt down obediently, paused and said: "I will definitely be punished by death for my crime. Please punish me, Prime Minister."
Wang Dun stared at Shen Chong with emotionless eyes, and after a long while, he said coldly: "You tell me, what crime should be committed?"
Shen Chong said without raising his head: "The last general sent troops without receiving military orders, which is an unpardonable crime. He should have committed suicide in front of the Prime Minister's throne, but my son died innocently and miserably. Please show mercy to Rong Chong, and let Rong Chong avenge his hatred and cut his neck again." accept guilt
!”
Angry expression gradually appeared on Wang Dun's face, and he scolded: "You idiot! Trash! Why do I support you?"
"Yes, yes, the general is guilty!" Shen Chong kowtowed repeatedly.
Qian Feng stroked his beard and chuckled: "It is certainly sinful to send troops privately, but General Shen has been with the Prime Minister for many years, how can the Prime Minister not miss the old relationship? Mr. Kuang died tragically, and the Prime Minister is also filled with grief and indignation, so how can he not miss General Shen? The reason why the Prime Minister is scolding you is because the eight thousand Wuxing disciples not only failed to capture a mere mansion guarded by 200 people, but also lost their troops and their vitality. Tell me, should I scold you? What do you say to the Prime Minister? Let’s argue.”
Shen Chong was shocked, understood, and quickly raised his head and said: "Back to the Prime Minister, there are definitely not two hundred guards in Yunfeng Mansion. As General Guangmo saw, there must be at least four to five hundred. They are extremely brave. It is dark and the mansion cannot be seen clearly. We arranged the situation here, so we got caught in an ambush. Please give the Prime Minister another chance and send troops to attack at dawn. I will offer Yunfeng Dog's head in front of the Prime Minister's seat!"
If Wang Dun hadn't been concerned about his identity, he would have wanted to jump up and down and scold his mother. He thought to himself that the mountains are still getting higher even if they go down the mountain. How could he be so stupid? He couldn't help but feel as cold as ice.
Qian Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "General Shen, did you know that your reckless behavior tonight will not only scare the enemy, but will also cause great trouble to the Prime Minister. The death of Mr. Kuang is indeed regrettable, but he spoke nonsense, Liangzhou Mu Zhu can still stand up for killing him. Don't even think about leading troops to besiege him again. However, your son will not die in vain. The Prime Minister will make the decision for you, but don't act rashly again. But now it's you. The court will definitely criticize you, and the Prime Minister will have to do something, so you should be prepared."
Shen Chong saluted and said: "The general will understand, but it is up to the prime minister to deal with it."
Wang Dun's expression softened slightly, and he nodded and said: "Wang Han, the general who conquered the east tomorrow, will arrive from Gushu. You will hand over the military affairs of Stone City to him. After that, you will return to Wuxing to recuperate. When the news subsides, I will recruit you again." you."
Shen Chong felt a chill in his heart. His military power had been taken away! But he couldn't think about it. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will obey the order."
Wang Dun's face showed satisfaction
. Sighed: "Shen Chong, don't think too much. I still have someone to rely on. You can live a peaceful life for a while. By the way. What's wrong with your ears? With your skills, how can you do it?" Injured by a stray arrow?"
Shen Chong couldn't help being reminded of his old hatred, and gritted his teeth and told the story of his encounter with the assassin.
Wang Dun muttered: "Although Liangzhou Mu is not present, this matter must be related to him. I will investigate it clearly."
Shen Chong said gratefully: "Thank you, Prime Minister."
At this time, Qian Feng said thoughtfully: "General Shen just said that there were at least four to five hundred guards in the Liangzhou Mufu, but when he entered the city, he clearly only brought two hundred people with him, and there was no movement in the camp outside the city. Could it be that Can the five hundred women accompanying us really participate in the battle?"
Wang Dun pondered: "I once heard that the female guards of Liangzhou Mu were all slave girls from the northwest foreign tribes. They were cruelly abused and suffered psychological abnormalities, and acted in extreme ways with cruel methods. However, they were brave and good at fighting. They were loyal and could die for the Lord!" The first clues have emerged today, but Shigehiro made a mistake and let him bring so many guards into the city."
After being annoyed for a while, Wang Dun thought again and ordered: "Since Liangzhou Mu can train women to be masters of snakes and scorpions, why can't I? Shen Chong, after you return home, try to get a group of female slaves from Jie Zhao or Nanyue." Come back and train. Is it possible?”
Shen Chong quickly accepted the order: "Prime Minister, please rest assured, the general will do his best to handle this matter."
Wang Dun waved his hand and said, "Just take it to heart. Okay, you've been running around all night and you're injured. Just go back and rest."
"General, please retire!" Shen Chong saluted Wang Dun and Qian Feng respectively, turned around and left. As soon as his figure disappeared into the darkness, an old man with a white beard appeared on the screen behind the palace. This old man turned out to be Yu Jiange Nanhua Guanguan, who escaped from the battle, advocated Zhaocheng!
Zhang Zhaocheng bowed and said: "Prime Minister, the Yunfeng dog bandits are arrogant and arrogant. They brutally killed General Shen's beloved son when they first arrived. I might have a plan to kill him!"
Wang Dun said quietly: "Let's talk and listen.
!”
Zhang Zhaocheng sneered and said: "This son is so arrogant that he thinks that he can protect the country with only five thousand troops. It is really ridiculous! When I enter the capital, I must pay homage to the emperor. The prime minister can set up an ambush on the road and kill this beast in one fell swoop!"
Wang Dun cursed secretly, what kind of bad idea is this? He, Zhang Zhaocheng, can pat his butt and return to Bashu at any time, but how can he clean up the mess in the south of the Yangtze River? It's enough if he can assassinate him, he just needs to do a good job in the aftermath, but if he misses it, it will be worse Besieged by public opinion! You know, since the Jin Dynasty moved south, there has never been an assassination of a minister of the DPRK!
The previous time, it could be argued that Shen Chong sent troops privately, but where could he find an excuse again? He was not sure of instigating a rebellion or getting rid of the Liangzhou cavalry outside the city. For the time being, he had to maintain his superficial politeness. He immediately shook his head and said: "That's not appropriate. This person must be escorted when he travels. If he cannot succeed in a short time, the Imperial Army of the East Palace may interfere, which will be detrimental to me."
Zhang Zhaocheng showed overwhelming hatred in his eyes and insisted: "Prime Minister, please rest assured. Since it is inconvenient for the Prime Minister to participate, then it will be up to Pindao and his disciples to do it. Even if something goes wrong, the Prime Minister will not be involved!"
"Yes." Wang Dun secretly moved. He was happy to just watch on the sidelines without him having to do anything. However, his face darkened and he said displeasedly: "This matter will be discussed later. Just wait. You are not allowed to show up in private or act rashly. Follow my orders!"
Zhang Zhaocheng said unwillingly: "Prime Minister, if I dare to use my head as a guarantee, I will definitely get Yunfeng's head!"
Wang Dun seemed a little annoyed, and his tone became more serious: "Zhang Zhaocheng, I'm telling you! As soon as you surrender to me, you must obey my orders and not act recklessly. Otherwise, Bashu will regard your Nanhua Temple as a cult, and I, Jiangdong Ground
You can do it! Just step back!"
"Humph!" Zhang Zhaocheng was so angry that his beard and hair were shaking in the wind. He snorted heavily, flicked his sleeves, and left the door.
Chapter completed!
