Escaped and caught two assassins who could at least reveal some of the situation, did not make Huang Qiong happy. When the casualty figures of the guards were reported, Huang Qiong gasped, almost breaking the hearts of the two assassins alive. This time he brought out a total of twenty guards, four of whom were killed in the battle of Guanlou that just ended.
The four guards standing guard outside the door were assassinated immediately. In other words, almost half of the twenty guards Huang Qiong brought this time were killed. Most of these guards were selected from border army officers. Although his kung fu can only be considered second-rate, his actual combat experience is extremely rich.
Huang Qiong originally planned to bring them out this time and look for opportunities to replenish them into the Xiaoqi Camp or the Zhengzhou Guards. As a result, Huang Qiong lost almost half of his quantity in this battle. How could Huang Qiong not feel distressed? After receiving the casualty report, Huang Qiong's face was livid, and even Fan Jian did not dare to persuade him.
Fan Jian is still very clear about the origins of these guards in the palace. He had heard from the King of England more than once that these people were a bit unworthy of being his bodyguards, and it was really delaying their future. If they find an opportunity in the future, they will have to return to the army, where they will be more suitable to display their talents.
The King of England cherished every one of these military attachés who relied on their military exploits in the frontier army. When I came out this time, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to recruit them back into the army. As a result, they died before they had the opportunity. Especially since these people did not die on the battlefield, but died in assassins' assassinations and sneak attacks. The King of England's heartache is self-evident.
It was precisely because he knew Huang Qiong's mood at the moment that Fan Jian ordered Huang Qiong to hang the corpses of the assassins on the city wall for public display, but did not dare to come forward to persuade him. He knew that the King of England did not order the corpses of these people to be thrown away to feed the dogs, which would have been a disgrace to his brother and sister-in-law. Fan Jian himself did not persuade him. Even if Fan Dao wanted to step forward and say a few words, he would stop him by shaking his head.
After sending someone to send Fan Dao and his wife back to Dutong Yamen to rest, Huang Qiong stared at the two frightened and trembling assassins in front of him. It can be said that these two people are Ling Chi, but it is difficult to understand the hatred in his heart. Even though the two assassins were captured alive, after their face coverings were torn off, the two almost identical beautiful faces made everyone in the building shine.
As for the twin beauties who were captured alive on the opposite side at the moment, they were trembling with fear because they didn't know what the other party was going to do with them. But it did not affect the two of them at all, because the companion beside him fell in front of him, gnashing his teeth in hatred when facing Huang Qiong. Even though his eyes were filled with tears of fear, he still wanted to bite off a few pieces of Huang Qiong's flesh.
Huang Qiongquan pretended not to notice the glares from these two identical twin beauties. He just smiled lightly and said: "Let's talk, who is the master behind you? How did you Baishatang end up under King Jing's command? Don't think that everything will be fine if you don't open your mouth. I have many ways to make you open your mouth."
It's just that the trembling legs of these two betrayed the fear in their hearts at this moment. But when faced with Huang Qiong's interrogation, he clenched his teeth and remained silent, pretending that he had not heard anything. Even Huang Qiong's eyes were not less hostile. Two pairs of big eyes filled with tears stared at Huang Qiong.
Huang Qiong had long expected the silence of the two women. He just said indifferently: "Don't think that only the master behind you can play those plots and tricks, and I, the king who knows it, are not bad either. To torture people, especially such a beautiful woman, I have the methods that I should have There are the same. Don’t worry, I will let people entertain you well.”
"You also know that Hulao Pass is in a critical situation right now. The sergeants have been fighting hard for days and are extremely exhausted. The best way to boost military morale and morale is to get promoted and make a fortune. But for most ordinary sergeants in the pass, they Maybe they will see the day when they don’t win. Most of them may not be able to see promotions and fortunes.”
"Another way to encourage them to fight hard is wine and women. The war is going on right now, and it is impossible for them to drink on the battlefield. But women are not necessarily impossible. There is a shortage of camp prostitutes in the army right now, and they are plundering civilian girls. And the national and military laws are incompatible. If you resist to the end, I, the king, can just use it to boost your morale."
Huang Qiong walked up to the two girls, and the smile on his face did not decrease by half: "Don't think about biting your tongue and committing suicide. Even if you commit suicide, I will still have many ways to control you. I will give you some time to think about it now, and wait until If I haven’t thought about it when I come back, then don’t blame me for destroying the flower with ruthless hands.”
After scaring and threatening the two prisoners, Huang Qiong turned to Liu Hu beside him and said: "Look at them, and when they want to say something, let someone notify me." After the explanation, Huang Qiong ignored the two women. . He was thinking about attacking Zhao Wusha in his heart. Even though he hated him to death, he didn't have much thought about these two women now and wasted too much time here.
Leaving the reluctant Liu Hu behind, Huang Qiong took Fan Jian to the top of Dongguan City, looking at the sparks of the rebel camp outside the city. It was obvious that Zhao Wushu had not launched an attack yet, and the entire rebel camp seemed very calm. In fact, Huang Qiong is not too worried about whether Zhao Wushu will encounter any accidents during this attack.
Zhao Wushu was a general who served in the frontier army and fought in every battle. He had extremely rich actual combat experience. Judging from the battle situation in the past two days, he also has a strong ability to grasp the battlefield. Definitely not the kind of person who underestimates the enemy and advances rashly just to make achievements. If he really found that something was wrong, he would not continue to take this risk.
As for Zhao Wushu, Huang Qiong also didn't have much hope of how successful this attack would be. The number of cavalry in his hands was too small. Only 800 cavalrymen were like a plate of sand in the sea to tens of thousands of rebels. But for Huang Qiong, as long as Zhao Wushan can burn the opponent's food and grass and slow down the rebels' offensive tomorrow, it is enough.
Huang Qiong was looking at the rebel camp from a distance, and had been silent since arriving at the head of Dongguan City. Although Fan Jian beside him was a little hesitant, he still said: "Your Majesty, if those two girls really insist on not speaking, do you really plan to use them as camp prostitutes? Such two beautiful little girls, if they really It would be a shame to do that.”
Fan Jian's words certainly didn't mean he really felt sorry for the two female assassins. After receiving the casualty figures of the guards, Huang Qiong's livid face told Fan Jian how distressed the young King of England was. Fan Jian can now clearly feel the level of anger in Huang Qiong's heart.
And in Fan Jian's view, in order to obtain some necessary things, it is necessary to adopt appropriate means. Otherwise, what's the point of leaving these two alive? But after all, they were from the same martial arts family, so even though this was the truth, Fan Jian still couldn't bear to face two very beautiful girls.
The reason why Fan Jian brought up this topic was to alleviate the tension that King Ying seemed to be feeling these days, but in fact he was still somewhat nervous. He even wanted to persuade Huang Qiong in disguise. After all, as a staff member of the British Prince's Palace, he couldn't really let Huang Qiong do something in anger that would damage his own reputation.
"Why are you feeling distressed? Well, I will give these two women to my husband in a moment. My husband is a scholar and comes from a wealthy family, so he has the problem of not being diligent in his limbs and not being able to distinguish between grains. He also needs people around him. A good person will take care of you. As for whether you can be the main wife, it is the right of your parents. But as a concubine, I can still make the decision."
Understanding Fan Jian's thoughts, Huang Qiong didn't care and started teasing along with Fan Jian's topic. But Huang Qiong's half-truth and half-false teasing made Fan Jian quickly wave his hands and say: "Farewell, Your Majesty, this blessing is not something that Jian can bear. When Jian was at home, his family ancestor had already made a decision for Jian. It’s a marriage.”
"That family is the same as the Fan family, and I am from a family of Jianghu. If I knew that Jian took a concubine before getting married, my ancestors would have killed me alive. This matter is different from being expelled from the family. Being expelled from the family is not the same as the family. My grandfather made a helpless choice to protect himself. But if he makes his grandfather angry to death because he found two concubines, he will be struck by lightning from the sky."
"Besides, if I, a weak scholar, find two martial arts masters as my concubines, wouldn't I be causing trouble for myself? I, a scholar, cannot control them. If they rebel that day, I will My nose was bruised and my face was swollen, but I had no place to cry out even if I was wronged. Si Chen, the hen, is not allowed to do anything, so it’s better to be more honest with the sword."
Having said this, Fan Jian smiled narrowly at Huang Qiong and said, "Your Majesty, there are not many women around you. From Jian's point of view, it would be better for the Prince to keep these twins for himself. Think about it. How exciting are twins? Moreover, Jian Fang has just seen the skills of these two women. If the prince keeps them by his side, it can be said that he and his concubines and guards will be able to deal with them at the same time."
"I am only eighteen this year. If you ask me to take them in, are you not afraid that I will be addicted to beauty and that my body will be hollowed out by beauty? Sex is the principle of a bone scraper, sir, I must still It's clear." Looking at the vulgar expression on Fan Jian's face, Huang Qiong smiled faintly. This guy can always make people feel happy in the shortest possible time.
But after Huang Qiong said this, Fan Jian changed his previous narrow-minded expression and said seriously: "If it were someone else, it might be possible, but with the prince's personality, he would never do this. The prince has the world in mind. How can a person be deceived by the beauties in front of him? How can he lose his mind because of the beautiful things in front of him? "
"My lord, are you looking down on Jian too much? If the lord is really that kind of person, how can Jian abandon the entire family and follow him to death? My lord, based on your words, honestly ask yourself In your heart, do you believe that you will become that kind of person? Ask the Emperor and Mr. Jia, will they believe it?"
"I think you'd better pray and have a more accurate vision. How do you know that I won't become a dandy? Now that I'm getting older, I'm going to be a vassal. According to this dynasty's customization, the lord will be a vassal." From then on, I was not allowed to leave the fiefdom for hundreds of miles unless I was ordered to do so. So apart from finding ways to make money and accumulate wealth for future generations, the rest was just to eat, drink and have fun."
But in response to Huang Qiong's reply, Fan Jian shook his head firmly: "Jian, I just said it. If it is possible for other princes, it is absolutely impossible for the prince. If the prince is really like other stupid princes, he only wants to do it all day long. Make money for yourself. There will be no such fierce shouting at Wende Hall, no angry outbursts in the refugee area, and no regulations related to the well-being of the people."
"My lord, your ambition is not small, I know this. It's just your ambition, but unlike other princes, you are not focused on the chair in the palace hall, but on the people's suffering in the world. My lord, The people in his heart are the people of Li, which is why Jian would rather give up his family and follow him to the end."
