Chapter 514: Mantis and the Oriole (4)

"A few days ago, a secret envoy from Hongzhou arrived and said that his adoptive father was critically ill and asked me to go. But after I arrived, I only saw Zhong Kuangshi. The guy was just shirking his responsibility, isolating his internal and external affairs, and preventing a certain family from meeting his adoptive father." At this point, Zhong Yangui paused for a moment and suddenly cried: "The next day, news came that his father had a serious illness last night and died of vomiting blood. Zhong Kuangshi's guy claimed to stay in the queen and did not allow a certain family to participate in the funeral. Instead, he sent someone to imprison us. If it weren't for the righteous man to save him, the life of a certain family would have been thrown in Hongzhou!"

Although the soldiers of the toothed soldiers saw Zhong Yangui's dress when he came on stage, they guessed a little, but Zhong Yangui said in person that Zhong Chuan was dead. The Zhong brothers were fighting inside and that he was imprisoned in Hongzhou. The toothed soldiers in the audience were stunned. After a while, they started to talk loudly. The heads of the ranks and the ten generals were stunned for a moment and forgot to suppress them.

Zhong Yangui raised his hands and signaled the soldiers to keep silent for the time being, and then said, "Brothers, I was fourteen years old and joined the army. Many of you have pointed out my archery and gunship. Later, I grew older and my father gave me kindness and adopted me as my adopted son." When Zhong Yangui said this, he untied the armor on his upper body, and saw that there were no dozens of scars, but his back was as smooth as new as new, without any scars. He pointed at the scars on his body and shouted: "Brothers, please see, a family came out as a vanguard after joining the army, and retreated to the palace. He had experienced more than a hundred death battles in his life, but there was a scar on his back?"

The tooth soldiers in the audience saw that none of Zhong Yangui had so many scars on his back had one reason: that was that he had never turned around and fled in front of the enemy. These tooth soldiers were all rolling over in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. The only thing that convinced them was a tough guy like Zhong Yangui, who couldn't help but responded and cheered in unison.

After waiting for the shouting of the soldiers, Zhong Yangui said loudly: "Although I am not close to Zhong Kuangshi, I am still a brother, and I have been trying hard to defend Jiangzhou and resist Yang Wu over the years. Now that the former king has passed away, it is a critical time to survive and die. Zhong Kuangshi was going to attack his brother before his father's body was buried." When Zhong Yangui said this, a crowd in the audience shouted loudly: "I am against the thief!"

The shout was like a spark falling into a powder barrel, which immediately caused a huge roar. Countless arms raised and waved the weapons in their hands, like a metal forest. The shouts of "Hongzhou" echoed over the school ground, alarming the groups of birds on the surrounding woods, like dark clouds.

Outside Guangling City, in the polo court, dozens of riders were divided into red and black narrow-sleeved robes, black boots, and wearing heads. They were waving a moon-shaped ball stick and galloping across the court, chasing and hitting a wooden ball. The wooden ball was decorated with red and purple color forging, extremely gorgeous. It flew like a meteor under the attack of the knights. Suddenly the wooden ball fell in the center of the field. The closest riders of the two sides rushed up immediately, surrounding the wooden ball and fighting for it. After more than a dozen breaths, the wooden ball changed hands several times, and it became a stalemate.

At the moment when the two sides were in a stalemate, a red-clad knight suddenly rushed out of the slant and rushed into the group. The ball stick stretched out and snatched the wooden ball out of several riders. Then, he hooked and walked out of the other riding bush. He suddenly whistled everywhere. The knights who had been snatched off the wooden ball turned their horses and rushed over, trying to grab the wooden ball back, but the knight's riding skills were sophisticated that the mount under his crotch had been regaining his energy for a long time.

The stick flashed out in a gap, and then the man swept the wooden stick and hit the ball into the goal and took a point. A cheer immediately sounded around the field. The scoring cavalry took off his head and waved to his companion proudly while wiping the sweat on his face. He saw a national face, his slightly narrow eyes narrowed slightly, full of smiles. It was Yang Wo, the governor of Huainan, the commander of the camps in various southeastern roads, the chief minister of the county, and the prince of Hongnong County.

Yang Wo wiped the sweat off his face, threw his head aside, and smiled at the black leader Knight who was approaching, "How? Are you convinced if you lose?"

The black leader looked both depressed and admired: "The king just grabbed the ball and dodged. If he shot the ball, he couldn't even stand on the ground. The villain naturally lost and lost 200 guan at once, which was a bit painful!" The black knight named Zhu Sizhi, who was Yang Wo's old confidant, was very good at polo. He often played with Yang Wo, and he won the game with Yang Wo. This time, the two of them led the heroes to fight, and the bet was 200 guan. Therefore, Zhu Sizhi had the words of pain.

When Yang Wo heard Zhu Siyi's appearance, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Siyi is so petty. Well, I will spare you this bet today and not take your two hundred coins, so as not to ask you to come next time, and you will find excuses to shirk it!"

When Zhu Siyi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly sang a fat promise and said with a smile: "I thank the king here for the first time. It's not that the villain is afraid of losing money, but Fan Changshi privately reminded him that the king is the lord of Huainan and his identity is different from the past. He can no longer be as indulged in entertainment as before. For example, polo, at most, he can only play with the king once. If he plays too much, Fan Changshi will definitely blame him!"

"What a good Fan Sicong, even I will take care of polo!" Yang Wo was unhappy. It turned out that since he ascended the throne, Fan Sicong kept admonishing him, hoping that he would reduce drinking and playing ball and act cautiously. Among Yang Wo's old subordinates, there were many brave and brave men, but there were no one who could ignore the interests and dare to give advice directly like Fan Sicong.

When Zhu Siyi saw Yang Wo's appearance, he knew that he had missed it and quickly smiled: "Shi Shi Fan's hard work is all for the king's foundation. Please tell me the truth!"

Yang Wo also knew Fan Sicong's loyalty to him. Although he was not happy, he nodded. He only remembered the unpleasant things on weekdays and couldn't help but sigh: "As the lord of Huainan, I am the most powerful minister, but I am not as happy as the japanese army in the past when I was scrambling to hunt and shoot every day. How could I not achieve both things in the world?"

While Yang Wo was sighing, a figure of a riding figure appeared in the distance and rushed towards this side. Zhu Siyi's eyes were sharp, and he had seen the flag behind the knight's back clearly, and said in a stern manner: "King, it's the cavalry of the royal palace, so there must be important news!"

"Is it because of the change in the war with Zhenhai Army!" Yang Wo browed and his expression became nervous. Since he reinforced some of his personal troops to the front line and launched a fierce attack on the Zhenhai Army on Guangde, Lu Fang's release of water has delayed the war on the front line, and the front line has been very stalemate. Yang Wo was also very anxious, but now his confidant Chen Pan is already on the front line and does not advocate changing the main general, so he has to wait patiently.

In a blink of an eye, the cavalry had arrived in front of Yang Wo. The knight jumped off the horse, knelt on one knee, and submitted the letter with both hands. Zhu Siyi leaned over to take the letter and presented it to Yang Wo. Yang Wo opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly became solemn, and he kicked the horse's belly lightly and said, "Go back to the palace!"

In the Wuwang Mansion Hall, seven or eight people sat in two sides, each of whom was confused and talking from time to time. Judging from the expressions on their faces, they probably didn't know why they were suddenly attracted. At this time, a sudden sound came from outside, and everyone stood up immediately with a sound. Then Yang Wo came to the hall wearing a round robe with a narrow sleeve, walked straight to the head seat, and asked Fan Sicong beside him, "Changshi, where is the envoy of Jiangzhou?"

Fan Sicong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have arranged to rest in the independent courtyard on the left wing, and there are elite soldiers guarding it outside the door!"

Yang Wo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sir, please tell us the details of the matter quickly and discuss it later!"

Fan Sicong nodded and carefully told Zhong Chuan to die. Zhong Kuangshi and Zhong Yangui were fighting with each other, so Zhong Yangui sent an envoy to Huainan to ask for reinforcements one by one to everyone. When they heard this explosive news, everyone in the hall looked different, with surprises, regrets, and doubts, and more asked Fan Sicong various questions.

"That guy Zhong Yangui said he wanted to borrow troops, could he send the hostages?"

"In the letter, Zhong Yangui said that Zhong Chuan was under the assassination of Zhong Kuangshi. Was he fabricated this or did he take it as it was?"

"Zhong Yangui said he wanted to borrow troops, so whether he had handed over the pass to the river and the lake was very important!"

The raindrop-like question made it difficult for Fan Si to answer for a while. Looking at the excited expressions of everyone, his lips opened and closed. Obviously, he was not experienced enough and did not get any definite news from the messenger for this short period of time.

"According to my opinion, there is something strange about this news. As far as I know, Zhong Yangui is just Zhong Chuan's adopted son, and Zhong Kuangshi is Zhong Chuan's legitimate son. The identities of the two are very different. Zhong Chuan is not such a tyrannical person. Why should Zhong Kuangshi implicate his own father to seize the throne? As far as I see, it must be that after Zhong Chuan's death, Zhong Yangui did not accept Zhong Kuangshi's successor to the throne, so he raised an army to seize the throne. He was afraid that the troops would be insufficient, so he borrowed troops from Huainan as a support!" A veteran laughed. Although this person had never seen him personally, he guessed with his past experience.

"Yes, Jiangzhou borders our army. If Zhong Yangui leads troops south to fight for Hongzhou, his nest will definitely be empty and taken away by me. Instead of doing this, it is better to just borrow troops from our army to enjoy it."

"Actually, these are not important. Anyway, now we can take Jiangzhou without fighting, and Hongzhou will be gone. The king is indeed Hongfu is the same as the enemy brothers, and the doors are open, Jiangxi is within reach!"

As the doubt gradually resolved, ecstasy gradually occupied the hearts of most people in the hall. They were almost all loyal supporters of Yang Wo. However, since Yang Xingmi passed away, everything in Huainan was very unhappy, as if God's favor also left with Yang Xingmi. But all of this in front of him seemed to be a signal from God to everyone. The unhappiness had passed, and the bright future was waving to him. But not everyone thought so.
