Chapter 630 The wind blows in the northern border (2)
The man's mouth curled up, knowing that everything was about to succeed, so he slowed down and said, "General Guan just rest assured about this. Since he dared to come, he naturally had arranged a way out for the general so that you can give it a try!" As he said that, he reached into his arms and quickly took out two things and put them on the table.
Guan Feng's eyes flashed, and his body shook again. He quickly picked them up, one was a golden lock and the other was a jade ring. These two things were so familiar to him. The gold lock was personally selected by his nine-year-old son when he was just one year old and asked someone to send it home. There were several rough marks on it. As for the ring, it was something that my father had always worn. You could tell the truth and false at just one glance.
After being excited, Guan Feng felt a little shocked and angry: "What are you doing to them?" Two close-fitting objects actually fell into the other party's hands. What about that person?
Seeing this, the man quickly explained: "General, don't worry, Lingzun and Linglang are at home, and the brothers in my teaching will help protect them. As long as you nod, we can quickly transfer them to a safe place, and even the government will not find them easily. In this way, you can do what you really want to do without any worries."
"Hmph, why should I believe you?" Guan Feng calmed down and asked vigilantly.
"I really can't come up with conclusive evidence, but I don't think it will take long for the general to understand my painstaking efforts. The court will soon attack you. My suggestion is to prepare early, at least you must fully grasp Dinglu Pass in order to fight them and protect yourself." As he said, he held his fists and saluted, "I have nothing to say about this. How to choose is still up to you. If you really want to be that foolish and loyal person, I have no choice. You can even kill me with one knife now and then ask for me with my head."
Guan Feng was actually already moved, so how could he attack him? He just held the last bit of hope, so he said, "I won't attack you, but I won't really do anything rebellious before there is conclusive evidence. Let me see if what you said is true or false!"
...
Yang Wenting went north from the capital with the ever-increasing north wind, but he really suffered a lot.
I thought it was the last to arrive in Bazhou, but as a result, when he told the local governor Dong Taiyue, the latter refused to cooperate and sent him away with just one sentence. So, Yang Wenting, the miserable fourth-rank doctor of the Ministry of War, could only travel a hundred miles northward, and headed straight for the last separation of the grassland and the Central Plains, the key border of the northwest of Dayue, Dinglu Pass.
He suffered so much along the way. The rugged and difficult roads alone made him complain all the way, and the cold climate and heavy snow from time to time made him unable to rest well at night. It was not until the end of the winter month that he finally saw the majestic pass standing at the end of the horizon. The city that should have been black was now dyed pure white by frost and snow.
Without any hesitation, Yang Wenting decisively stepped forward. The escorts who followed him all gathered up their last bit of strength and drove straight to the city like flying. Then, under the closed door, they were stopped by the defenders guarding above: "Who is the most important person, you must not get close to the border."
"We are officials from the capital. We were ordered to summon the general of Dinglu Pass to the capital to report our duties!" A subordinate came forward tremblingly, loudly stated his identity and purpose, and even showed the relevant documents and seals.
The defenders above all had an accident. While putting down small baskets of documents and other items, they sent people to return to the pass to report the matter to their superiors.
In a moment, Guan Feng learned about this, which made his face even more gloomy, but after a while, he ordered: "Open the door and welcome the nobles in the Beijing area to speak."
The person was soon welcomed, and Guan Feng even brought the people out to meet him. At this time, Yang Wenting picked up Qiao Lai again, sat on the horse's back, looked at Guan Feng who bent down in front of him, and waved his hand casually: "General Guan doesn't have to be too polite, get up and talk."
"Haha, Lord Yang has come from afar. The official has set up a banquet inside. I hope you don't dislike it. It's cold and the land is cold. There is no good thing in our border area. There is only some meat and strong wine, which is enough to drive away the cold." Guan Feng lowered his posture and smiled and invited the other party to come with him, leading people to the hall where he usually gathered. Sure enough, the banquet had already been held.
Yang Wenting wanted to refuse, after all, he was eager to leave this harsh ghost place, but his men looked over. They were tired all the way and really wanted to take a break here for a few days.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to agree to Guan Feng's invitation, and then he followed him to have a banquet, and then endured the discomfort and chatted with this rude side general.
"Mr. Yang, I am a rough man. Please don't blame me if you have something to say." Guan Feng smiled and asked after tribute to the other party, "I have been here for more than ten years. Even if the court promoted me to an official position, he had never made any arrangements for reporting his duties. Why did he issue such an order today?"
"Ah, this is what the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall meant. Maybe it is related to the general's next arrangement. You also said that you have been in the border for ten years and are really hardworking and loyal. Such a good general always makes you suffer here. It is inappropriate to lose the hearts of the soldiers in the world, right? So, the court decided to summon some of the heroes like the general back to the capital, after reporting on their duties, reward them according to their merits, and then decide how to place them." Yang Wenting responded casually.
"Is that so good? That's great. To be honest, I'm really hard for me to wait for the sidelines. It's fine to be wary of ghosts all day long, but food and clothing are all problems, especially in the current winter, there is a possibility of food outages, which is really worrying. It's great to be able to return to the Central Plains now. Come on, I'll give you a bowl." Guan Feng said, and excitedly picked up the wine bowl.
Yang Wenting was determined not to drink, but couldn't hide his face, so he could only take a big sip with him. But then, the generals who were accompanying him all brought wine bowls and surrounded him. They were even more rude and casual than Guan Feng. Whether it was Yang Wenting or his entourage, they were all pulled by them toast. After a moment, the group was all drunk.
Seeing this, Guan Feng smiled and walked to Yang Wen with a smile: "Mr. Yang, I will give you the last bowl. Then I have a question to ask for advice. I hope you will give me advice."
"Okay... it's easy to say..." Yang Wenting also opened his tongue at this time, smiled and nodded. After hitting the bowl with him, he fucked most of the bowl of wine, and then his mind became even more confused.
The north is bitter and cold. In winter, many people rely on strong wine to keep warm, so the wine here is much stronger than in the Central Plains. Although Yang Wenting has a good alcohol tolerance, he was poured half a pound of strong wine in one go, but he still couldn't hold on. His thoughts were already confused and he just looked at the other person and laughed.
"Mr. Yang, this time the court suddenly recalled me back to the capital. What is the matter?" Guan Feng seized the opportunity and asked softly, staring at the other party, looking forward to the answer to the question again.
You said that he was speaking the truth after drinking. Yang Wenting, who was already drunk, had completely lost his door and laughed: "This... this is a long story. I, I have heard people say..."
As he told some truth in a mess, the originally warm atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped to freezing point. From Guan Feng down, everyone's faces showed a gloomy murderous aura. It was because he had not signaled yet that everyone did not make extreme actions. However, the other members from the capital were already scared to the ground, and they didn't know how much the wine bowl had been knocked over.
Guan Feng suppressed his anger and slowly asked the last question: "So, this time I recalled me back to the capital, what is the court going to deal with me?"
"If... if he confesses guilty, he may still be alive, otherwise... hehe..." Yang Wenting, who was drunk, didn't feel the change in the atmosphere around him at all, still blushed and answered casually. Then, a powerful force attacked, causing him to rush into the air. As soon as his scream came out, his body had hit the wall with a thump, and a pair of fierce red eyes as vicious as a wolf had already been forced into front of him: "Are you serious?"
The severe pain and rapid pressure made Yang Wenting's drunkenness suddenly disappear. Once his mind woke up, the fear in his heart quickly covered everything: "Guan...Master Guan, don't do anything randomly. Before, I was just drunk, don't be really..."
"Zuiyan? Do you think I am a fool? I have long seen that you, officials from the Central Plains, never looked down on me and other border generals, and now you even think of me as a fool, thinking that as long as you have a transfer order, I can die obediently."
"Be your dream of spring and autumn! What did I get for the ten years of hard work for Dayue? Just because I got some benefits before, you will attack me? Brothers, now you have heard that the court is unkind to us. What should we do?" As he said, Guan Feng used his hand to pinch Yang Wenting's neck and lifted him against the wall to a high place. Such a scholar was like a chicken in his hand.
"Kill him!"
"Don't fuck!"
There were already confidants on both sides roaring and screaming, pulling out their swords and stabbing the members who were already scared to their limbs.
Amid the screams, blood splattered, and all twenty or thirty members had been killed, while the other generals were still shocked and could not come back to their senses. At this time, Guan Feng's hand was loosened, and Yang Wenting in front of him fell down the wall like a broken sack, but he had already strangled to death.
