Mi Han

Chapter 238 Sudden Attack and Opening the City Gate
Man Chong's summoning order quickly reached the ears of the patriarchs of the various wealthy families.

When Yanping in the mansion knew this order, a hint of determination appeared on his face.

Knowing what Man Chong was doing, he summoned all the big families in the city again.

It was nothing more than the progress of the construction of the tall buildings on the Wudang North Gate, which caused his dissatisfaction.

It's just that the slow progress of the construction of the tall building on the north gate is precisely due to his instruction.

As the patriarch of the largest wealthy family in the area, and Yanping currently has the support of some other wealthy families, it is not difficult for him to do this.

And the reason why he wanted to do this was to make Man Chong summon the patriarchs of the big families again because of his inner dissatisfaction.

Under the service of his family, Yanping put on finely crafted inner armor and several layers of soft clothing under the robe, and secretly hid a dagger in the cuff.

In the past, when Man Chong summoned the various patriarchs, although when the various patriarchs entered the hall of the county government, Man Chong asked them to hand over their swords.

But Man Chong never sent soldiers to search them.

It's not that Man Chong trusts them, it's just that in today's world that pays attention to face and etiquette, it is very rude and humiliating to search someone's body rashly.

Unless Man Chong regards them as criminals, or intends to completely break the face with them, Man Chong will not do this.

When Yanping, who was secretly armed, arrived at the hall of the county government, almost all the patriarchs of other wealthy families had already arrived at the hall of the county government.

As Yanping expected, before he entered the county hall, his saber was confiscated by Man Chong's soldiers, but Man Chong's soldiers did not search him as usual.

After arriving in the hall of the county government, Yan Ping exchanged glances with the patriarchs of the rich clan calmly.

And Man Chong also sat on the main seat in the hall of the county government early.

With the arrival of Yanping, Man Chong, who had been closing his eyes and meditating on the main seat, opened his eyes.

Man Chong looked at the patriarchs with unkindness in his eyes.

Man Chong spoke to all the patriarchs present in a reproachful tone:
"The ministers promised to do their best to build the high-rise buildings on the city wall the day before yesterday, but in the past few days, the speed of building high-rise buildings has been very slow."

"If we continue at this pace, I am afraid that the Han army outside the city will have already entered the city before the tall buildings on the city wall are completed."

"I summoned you today to warn you not to be negligent.

Otherwise, once Wudang City falls, I am afraid that Zhu Qing's family will also be destroyed in the flames of war in the end. "

Because the progress of the high-rise construction is slow, Man Chong is in a bad mood.

In a bad mood, although Man Chong called the patriarchs Zhuqing in his words, he didn't remind the patriarchs by hints like he did a few days ago.

He almost clearly told the patriarchs not to cooperate with his work.

Man Chong's words revealed threats.

Man Chong knew that if the patriarchs could sincerely help him, it would be impossible for the construction progress of the city walls and tall buildings to be so slow.

Seeing that Man Chong had already spoken clearly, and there was a sense of reproach in his words, panic appeared on the faces of some of the patriarchs present.

Not all the patriarchs of the rich clan in Wudang participated in Yanping's conspiracy that night.

Therefore, in the past few days, under the threat of Man Chong, some patriarchs of the wealthy clan have been helping him wholeheartedly.

It's just that the patriarchs who participated in the conspiracy that night can be said to be the most powerful families in Wudang City.

If they didn't really help Man Chong, then even if the other patriarchs wholeheartedly helped Man Chong, the progress would still not be fast.

It's just that even if there are other plans in mind, when faced with Man Chong's accusation, Yan Ping and his party members still have "panic expressions" on their faces at the right time.

As the leader of the patriarchs present, facing Man Chong's accusation, Yanping is of course obliged to come out and excuse everyone.

Yanping, who was standing at the head of the crowd, walked out from the ranks where the patriarchs were standing and came to Man Chong.

At this time, he was only a few steps away from Man Chong, just like he stood in front of Man Chong a few days ago.

Yanping stood in front of Man Chong and respectfully bowed to him:

"The construction of high-rise buildings is a huge project, and it will not be done in a day. It will take time for us to gather a lot of manpower and material resources. I hope the general will understand."

Although Yanping's actions are very respectful, Man Chong, who is concerned about the safety of Wudang City, looks more and more unkind in the face of the evasion in Yanping's words.

He directly issued an ultimatum to Yanping: "Within half a month, I hope that the tall buildings on the northern city will have been completed."

In Man Chong's view, there are tens of thousands of people in Wudang City.

As long as Yanping and all the patriarchs of the rich clan give their full assistance, it will not be difficult to build a tall building on the north gate of Wudang City within half a month.

Man Chong's attitude was very tough, but Man Chong's attitude further aroused the dissatisfaction of the wealthy families present.

It's just that most of the patriarchs of the wealthy clan can only swallow this breath silently because their own families are not powerful.

But those patriarchs who have plans with Yanping are getting more and more cold in their hearts.

Under Man Chong's tough attitude, a look of embarrassment appeared on Yanping's face.

He was more respectful to Man Chong's salute, and inadvertently he took a few steps forward.

At this time, Yanping was less than a few steps away from Man Chong.

Yanping's actions made Man Chong a little suspicious. He was about to stop Yanping from going forward, but at this time Yanping's words attracted his attention.

"In addition to building tall buildings on the city wall, Ping has another plan to make Wudang City temporarily safe."

Man Chong is most worried about whether Wudang City will fall, so Yanping's words successfully attracted his attention.

And at this time, although Yanping was not far from Man Chong, he was saluting to Man Chong, so his whole body bowed to Man Chong.

Under such circumstances, Yanping actually exposed his defenseless back in front of Man Chong.

Generally speaking, it is Yanping who is in danger.

Therefore, Man Chong put aside some doubts in his heart for the time being, and asked Yanping:
"What's your plan?"

Seeing that Man Chong had successfully attracted his attention, a smile appeared on Yanping's leaning face.

He looked up at where Man Chong was, with a gleam in his eyes and said:
"That's abandoning darkness and turning to light!"

After saying this, Yanping, like a hungry wolf out of the cage, quickly rushed towards Man Chong in front of him.

When Yanping was young, he served as the county captain of Wudang City.

Although he has been in the army, he has been pampered in recent years, but because he is in troubled times, he has been exercising all the time.

And Yanping is only in his 30s this year.

But Man Chong is about the same age as Cao Cao, an old man who is nearly seventy years old.

Man Chong, who was over sixty years old, was under Yanping's sudden attack. Even though his thoughts could keep up with Yanping's movements, his body's reaction was very slow.

In addition, Cai Manchong's attention was attracted by Yanping's words.

So when Yanping suddenly rushed towards Man Chong, although Man Chong's face showed a huge look of astonishment, Yanping had already arrived in front of him before he could pull out the sword from his waist.

As for Man Chong's personal guards in the county hall, they never expected that the unarmed Yanping would launch a surprise attack on Man Chong.

So when Yanping was about to rush to Man Chong, their thoughts just came to their senses.

It's just that Man Chong's personal guard reacted a step slower, causing Yanping to rush to Man Chong.

But just when Yanping was about to throw Man Chong down, one of Man Chong's personal guards had already pulled out a knife and threw it towards Yanping.

Facing the blade thrown by Man Chong's personal guard, Yanping's face showed a cruel look.

He has no room to back down.

When Yanping came to Man Chong, he quickly pulled out the dagger hidden in the sleeve of his robe.

The blade thrown by Man Chong's personal guard came towards Yanping and chopped on Yanping's arm.

Yanping felt great pain from his arm, but because of the good protection, although Yanping felt strong physical pain, the actual injury was not deep.

Suppressing the pain in his body, Yanping tightly held the dagger in his hand. In order to prevent the guards behind Man Chong from attacking him again, he threw Man Chong to the ground.

Man Chong, who was already an old man, let out a cry of pain immediately after being thrown to the ground by Yanping.

After Yanping threw Man Chong to the ground, he immediately blocked Man Chong's body against him, and then pressed the dagger in his hand against Man Chong's neck.

This made it impossible for the guards who had already surrounded Man Chong to attack Yanping.

Their attack may make Yanping die, but before Yanping dies, they will definitely pull Manchong back.

As for those patriarchs who have long conspired with Yanping, they have been paying attention to Yanping's every move.

When they rushed towards Man Chong in Yanping, they had already quickly followed behind Yanping and rushed towards Man Chong.

Because it is a troubled time, all patriarchs have some force in their bodies.

After Man Chong was captured by Yanping, the patriarchs of the wealthy clan who followed Yanping also came to Yanping, and they surrounded Yanping who had successfully captured Man Chong.

All of this happened in an instant. When Man Chong was successfully held hostage by Yanping, most of the people in the hall of the county government had just realized it.

There was great horror on their faces.

The fact that Yanping suddenly launched an attack on Man Chong greatly exceeded their expectations.

There are still many full-fledged personal guards in the lobby, and even because of the noise just now, soldiers of the Wei army outside the lobby rushed in in an instant.

But at this time, Man Chong is already under Yanping's control, so what's the use of them rushing in?

As for Man Chong, who had already been captured by Yanping, he had already reacted from the look of astonishment, and then a strong expression of shame and anger began to appear on his face.

Man Chong was ashamed that he accidentally followed Yanping's way, and angry that Yanping dared to be so bold.

After Man Chong was hijacked, the nearby Man Chong's personal guards did not dare to step forward.

Taking advantage of this gap, several patriarchs who came to Yanping's side grabbed Man Chong, and then lifted Yanping up from the ground.

So the current scene in the field is that Yanping and several patriarchs are standing behind Man Chong, and Yanping is using a dagger to rest on Man Chong's neck.

Because of the shame and anger in his heart, Man Chong struggled and shouted at Yanping:

"Yanping, are you crazy? You committed the crime of the Yi tribe!"

Facing Man Chong's screaming and struggling, Yan Ping's face showed joy.

Yanping hit Man Chong's gray-haired head hard with the end of the dagger, in order to release the hatred in his heart for Man Chong during this period of time.

Under the blow of the end of the dagger, Man Chong's forehead slowly left blood.

At this time, Yanping's arm began to flow blood because it was attacked by the blade just now.

But compared to the pain in his arm, Yanping, who has already captured Man Chong, is in a very happy mood.

Although he took a very big risk just now, in terms of the result, he succeeded.

Now that he controls Manchong in his hands, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Wudang City in his hands.

After Yanping knew what Mi Yang asked him to do before, someone suggested that he could capture and kill Man Chong by hosting a banquet, but Yanping knew that this would not work.

Just like Yanping would feel frightened when he saw Man Chong in the lobby of the county government, if he invited Man Chong rashly, Man Chong would probably reject his invitation.

And it will also arouse Man Chong's suspicion.

Only in a place where Man Chong is at ease can he complete what Mi Yang ordered.

At present, in the whole Wudang city, the only place where Man Chong can feel at ease, except for the north gate of Wudang city, is the county government where he lives.

That's why Yanping designed to make Man Chong, and once again summoned the heads of all the families to the hall of the county government.

In this lobby, Man Chong has already convened two major aristocratic families.

In the first two times, he had successfully threatened the major families, so when he was summoned for the third time, his vigilance would be the lowest.

And in the previous two convenings of Man Chong, Yanping was very keenly aware that the distance between Man Chong's personal guards and him was not very close.

As long as he can seize the opportunity, there may not be no chance to catch Man Chong with a sudden attack.

Although his plan has great risks, Yanping has reasons to do so.

Because if he doesn't resist Man Chong's tyranny, then after the first battle of Wudang, even if Man Chong can successfully defend Wudang City, the Yan family, which has lost its influence among the people, will only be a fish in the government's case in the end .

Those who harm others' interests are like harming their parents.

Man Chong's previous actions have undoubtedly deeply jeopardized the interests of Yanping as a wealthy family. Under such circumstances, Yanping has no choice.

After capturing Man Chong, Yanping ignored Man Chong's struggle, and he led Man Chong towards the outside of the county government step by step.

The direction Yanping was headed for was the South Gate of Wudang, where the private soldiers of the various wealthy families had the most.

Not long after, Mi Yang, who was dealing with military affairs in the military camp, suddenly received a news that surprised him.

The news is: just now the Hao clan in Wudang City rioted suddenly, Yanping, the patriarch of the Yan clan, captured Man Chong by means of a sudden attack, and then he successfully opened the south gate of Wudang City with the help of Man Chong in his hand.

And when the news of Man Chong's capture spread throughout Wudang City, especially after knowing that the south gate of Wudang City had been opened, Wei Jun, who knew that the situation was over, opened other gates of Wudang City one after another.

Now Yanping is bringing Man Chong to the outside of the Han army camp, begging for his reception.

Mi Yang was surprised that he did not expect that Yanping would really do what he said, and he succeeded in the end.

He originally thought that it would be good enough to trigger civil strife in Wudang City.

It's just surprises, he must deal with this matter as soon as possible.

After learning the news, Mi Yang immediately walked out of the big tent with his personal guards.
