"What do you have to worry about? Now that you're gone, don't I still have Liu Hu and Brother Fan Jian, the two masters here? Besides, the better you fight, the less time the rebels have to worry about. I It will be safer here. If you can defeat the rebels in one fell swoop, then I, the king, will have peace of mind." Regarding Wang Dalong's worries, Huang Qiong waved his hands indifferently.
However, Wang Dalong still did not move, but said with an extremely serious expression: "Your Majesty, Liu Hu is now in the gate building, guarding the two prisoners. Once I leave, Mr. Fan will be the only scholar left by your side. .As for those couple being great gods, I’m afraid it’s hard for ordinary mortals like us to move them.”
"Dalong is no longer a general in the army, he is just a guard beside you. For Dalong, protecting the safety of the prince is Dalong's responsibility. The safety of the prince is Dalong's top priority now. As for Dalong, Regarding other matters, please forgive Dalong for not being able to obey at the moment."
"Okay, if you don't obey the order, then I will personally lead the team. I want to see whether it is the danger of fighting on the battlefield below the city or the danger on the Guancheng with thousands of troops." Wang Dalong did not obey the order and let Huang A hint of irritation rose in Joan's heart. Nowadays, there are not many people he can trust in Guan Guan. He is given such an important task, but he dares not to obey.
Seeing that Huang Qiong was about to get angry, Fan Jian, who knew Huang Qiong's intention of ordering an attack at this time, hurriedly pulled Wang Dalong and said: "Dalong, there are not many people your prince can trust in Hulao Pass. You can trust him in the pass at the moment, but there are many people in the pass who are trustworthy." Except for you, there is almost no one who has experienced the border army and has a high enough position."
"The eight hundred cavalry brought by General Zhao are the only cavalry in the pass. If something happens to these cavalry, we will have to defend passively until the main force arrives. Therefore, these eight hundred cavalry are very important to our army at the moment. It is extremely important. You are now the person that the prince trusts most, and apart from you, the prince cannot choose another person for this matter."
"Both the prince and I understand what you mean, but now the prince has no other choice. In this way, you do as the prince instructs. The prince and I will return to Guanlou immediately, and Liu Hu will stay there. When you arrive, , and bring in fifty more sergeants to serve as temporary guards. There is Liu Hu over there, and with the fifty sergeants, they should be able to protect the prince before you return."
"You also know Liu Hu's skills. When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, commanding soldiers to march and fight, even his kung fu on horseback is not as good as yours. But in hand-to-hand combat, you are far behind him. You are an old frontier army officer, so you can fight in close combat. It's not your strength, your strength is on the battlefield. As for Liu Hu, do you still doubt his loyalty?"
After that, Fan Jian looked at Wang Dalong who was still hesitating, patted his shoulder and said: "You have been following the prince for a long time. Don't you know the prince's temper? Once you make up your mind, it is difficult to change it. Do you really plan to let the prince go to the battlefield to fight in person?"
After hearing Fan Jian's persuasion and looking at Huang Qiong's livid face over there, Wang Dalong hesitated for a moment and then said: "Mr. Fan, it's not that Dalong didn't obey the order. It's that before he came to the Xiaoqi camp, the emperor had repeatedly ordered Dalong , You must not take a step away from the prince. You have also seen the situation just now. If your brother hadn't taken action, the consequences would have been really hard to predict. "
"Liu Hu's skills are certainly good, but he is alone after all. Who can guarantee that the rebels will not try again if they fail in an assassination attempt? The prince already lacks manpower, and when I leave, there is no one around the prince. If there is a sneak attack by rebel assassins, then the prince will be really in danger."
"As for those sergeants, they are all ordinary soldiers. Fighting on the battlefield may be possible, but in this kind of head-on confrontation with Jianghu people, a hundred people are no match. My skills are weak, but I can't surpass those ordinary sergeants. Unless there are experts by the prince's side, Dalong will be uneasy even after leaving the seclusion."
After Wang Dalong said this, Fan Jian looked at Wang Dalong with a strange expression, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I never expected that you, an honest man, have such a frivolous heart. Don't you just want my brother and sister-in-law to come? Protect the prince? Okay, I will be the lobbyist. They can't leave for the time being anyway, so it doesn't hurt to make a temporary cameo during your absence."
"I'm going to ask for this favor. Even if it means throwing a tantrum, I have to bring them here. Since I promised you, I promise to do what I say. So don't delay here. Go quickly, don't let the prince really do it." I'm angry. But even though you kid has tricked me, I'm still very happy that you have this heart."
"Then it's time for Mr. Lao. As long as Mr. Lao and his sister-in-law can take action, they will be hundreds of times stronger than me. I will prepare now and leave the border immediately." After Fan Jian's words fell, Wang Dalong did not feel embarrassed that his thoughts were exposed. , on the contrary, he happily followed Huang Qiong's instructions and prepared to leave the quarantine.
Looking at Wang Dalong's back, Huang Qiong and Fan Jian could only smile in silence. After a long time, Fan Jiancai said: "Your Majesty, it's time for us to go back to the Guanlou. The two women must have thought it through. I'll go ask my brother, and you can go back to the Guanlou to rest for a while. Anyway, you can help me here. If it’s not the two of them, it’s better to let them charge with peace of mind on the battlefield.”
Fan Jian's persuasion made Huang Qiong think about it for a moment and then nodded. When he walked outside the closed building gate, Fan Jian turned around and was about to invite his brother and sister-in-law back when Huang Qiong's voice came from behind him: "Sir, brother and sister-in-law, there is no need to bother this time. Sir, I am the king." The actions and actions of the people around you not only represent yourself, but also the Royal Palace."
"As a member of the British Prince's Palace, you must straighten up wherever you go, no matter who you face. When Mr. Xiangyang returns to Fan's house, whether he kneels down or kowtows, that is Mr.'s family matter, and I have no control over it. But if it is because of me, King, I won’t allow you to grovel or beg for others, even if that person is a close relative of your husband. I have no control over your husband’s family affairs, but I still have a bottom line when it comes to official matters.”
"Although we can't do everything without asking others, I can still distinguish between what should be done and what shouldn't be done. Besides, since the Fan family in Xiangyang has already planned to avoid disaster, why bother involving them again. If it happens again When encountering an assassin, I will take care of it personally."
Hearing Huang Qiong's words behind him, Fan Jian turned around and looked at Huang Qiong's resolute and uncompromising face. After a moment of hesitation, he gave up his original idea and followed Huang Qiong into the gate building. Although he had not been with him for a long time, Fan Jian still had a clear idea of the young master's character.
Although this prince is young, he is strong in his bones and persevering in his temper, but he is not ordinary strong. Since he said he was not allowed to seek help from his brother and sister-in-law, he definitely disagreed. Even if he invited his brother and sister-in-law over, I'm afraid he wouldn't accept it. So despite some hesitation, Fan Jian finally chose to give up.
When they returned to the Guanlou, which was heavily guarded by the troops dispatched by Wang Dalong before leaving, they were greeted by Liu Hu who breathed a sigh of relief and the stubborn eyes of two beauties who still preferred to die. Looking at the woman who was staring at him, wishing she could skin him and eat her flesh, Huang Qiong smiled and said nothing. He walked behind the desk that the colleague had moved to flatter him, picked up a book and started reading.
Huang Qiong's silence made the two women dumbfounded who thought that this guy would use some vicious methods to torture them after he came back. Although these two women are one or two years older than Huang Qiong, this city is far behind Huang Qiong. Huang Qiong didn't say anything, but it was these two women who were the first to lose their temper.
"What do you want to do, you bastard? You'd better kill us quickly, otherwise we will go to hell with you, bastard." Two women who look almost exactly the same have a mole between their eyebrows. girl. After struggling for a long time and failing to break free from the rope that bound him, he shouted to Huang Qiong.
But there was not only crying in her shouts, but also unspeakable fear. Looking at the beautiful twins in front of him and listening to the girl's scolding, Huang Qiong smiled lightly and said, "Wouldn't it be too easy for you to kill you? Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. There is still an hour before dawn, and then I will send you to the military camp."
"You bastard, are you still a human being? Do you princes know how to bully women?" It was the woman with the mole between her eyebrows who spoke. Although she still acted fearless, the tremor in her voice became more and more obvious. . From the face of the prince who always had a slight smile on his face, she couldn't tell whether his words were threatening.
"Women? You are indeed women, but you are also female killers. When you work as assassins for others, you should be prepared for revenge. I am sorry that I don't have this hobby. You are in my hands today. , but before that, how many people died in your hands. If their families ask for their lives, can you afford it?"
"This world is dominated by the jungle. This is a normal thing. You are strong in front of those who are weaker than you and those who were assassinated by you. But in front of me, who is stronger than you, you become the weak? What if? Now that I am in your hands, who should I argue with?"
"The king has plenty of time, waiting for you to speak. But your time is running out. It will be dawn now, and you still have the last chance to speak. The king has given you the opportunity before, but you did not cherish it. The time of one stick of incense, I think, is enough for you to understand. Now that I extend the time until dawn, I have done my best to benevolent and righteous."
"As for the next step, it depends on how you choose. When the time comes, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to speak." Hearing the unspeakable fear in the woman's words, he knew his own psychological tactics It's already worked. The faint smile on Huang Qiong's face did not diminish even a little. But the tone in his mouth was cold and scary.
Of course, Huang Qiong would not really send these two women, who were still very beautiful, to be camp prostitutes. Although he is not a pity person, he is not a person who burns musical instruments and cooks cranes. But without a criminal investigation expert in hand, the only way to get the two women to talk was to adopt this psychological tactic. The threats made these two people unable to bear the psychological torture and took the initiative to speak.
After all, she is a woman, and she is the kind of woman who doesn't seem to have much experience in the world. In the previous fight, these two women had been protected by his fellow disciples, which showed that these two women were also very favored in that Baisha Hall. This kind of woman can't become the kind of old fritter who doesn't get into the oil and salt. As long as they maintain enough psychological pressure, they will say what they want.
After saying this, Huang Qiong ignored the two women who were already frightened. He picked up the book in front of him again and started reading again. But his eyes never left the two women who were now trembling. He was still waiting, waiting for the two women's psychological defenses to completely collapse.
