The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 404: Kick the ass under orders

"This this~"

As eloquent as Zhu Xiu, she could only be speechless for a moment.

Wang Lingwen not only had the ability to kill him, but also had the power to kill him.

The key still depends on the purpose of his coming here.

Zhu Xiu bowed her head and her eyes rolled around.

Wang Lingwen should have sneaked into Honglu Temple alone, otherwise it would be impossible to avoid all the eyeliners.

I came to see him alone, and it didn't look like I wanted to take his life.

Besides, Wang Lingwen would not dare to act without Guo Wei's will.

After thinking about this clearly, Zhu Xiu was determined.

This old man was a person who made all the officials in Kaifeng become frightened. He had a reputation for being evil, so Zhu Xiu was really startled when he suddenly appeared in front of him.

Wang Lingwen snorted coldly and said calmly: "Remove all the people you are ambushing around, and all of them, get back!"

Wang Lingwen pointed at Pan Mei and Hu Guangyue.

Zhu Xiu grinned and turned around to wink at Hu Guangyue.

Hu Guangyue pinched his left thumb and index finger together, put it in his mouth and whistled, making a sound like a turtle dove.

The soldiers of the fifth capital lurking around the octagonal pavilion were all evacuated in an instant.

Wang Lingwen looked around and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's interesting."

"Haha, you made Wang Shisi laugh! Compared with Wu Desi's secret spies, this little trick of a junior is nothing!" Zhu Xiu said with a smile on his face.

Wang Lingwen looked at Pan Mei and Hu Guangyue, Zhu Xiu said hurriedly: "They are my confidants."

Wang Lingwen's face suddenly turned cold, and he raised his hands in the direction of Kaifeng: "The official has issued a decree to you alone!"

Zhu Xiu had no choice but to turn around and wink, asking the two of them to leave the Bajiao Pavilion.

Pan Mei and Hu Guangyue had not gone far. They stood by the wall of the back garden, five or six feet away from the pavilion, staring closely and not daring to relax.

Wang Lingwen suddenly smiled solemnly: "Master Zhu, please turn around~"

"Huh?" Zhu Xiu was confused.

Wang Lingwen said solemnly: "This is an official statement~"

Zhu Xiu hesitated, and turned his back slowly. What's wrong with Mr. Guo, if you want to pass the decree, just say it directly, why do you still turn your back?

Zhu Xiu never expected to receive orders with her buttocks behind her back
Just as he was muttering in his heart, a strong force suddenly came from his buttocks. Zhu Xiu lost control of her body and screamed. She flew out of the Bajiao Pavilion with her arms and legs spread out. She lay on the ground like a toad, smashed her face on the ground and ate it. Silly mouth!

"Master Hou!"

Hu Guangyue shouted, drew his sword and rushed forward.

A row of fifth capital sergeants armed with crossbows appeared on several walls. They aimed at the pavilion. Just waiting for an order, they could launch a volley and shoot a hole in the small pavilion.

Pan Mei moved faster, roared and stood up, leaping forward like thunder, pointing her sword directly at Wang Lingwen under the pavilion!
Surprise appeared on Wang Lingwen's orange-peel face. He never expected that Zhu Xiu would not only be surrounded by well-trained warriors, but also a skilled martial artist like Pan Mei.

"Slow down!"

At the critical moment, Zhu Xiu raised his head and shouted, wiped the dirt on his face, and got up hurriedly.

"Don't be rude to the king's envoy! Everyone, retreat!"

"Master Hou!" Hu Guangyue was extremely anxious, fearing that Zhu Xiu would be kicked internally by Wang Lingwen.

After all, that flying kick just now kicked Zhu Xiu on the butt, and then he saw him fly out of the pavilion like a toad.

"I'm fine." Zhu Xiu rubbed her buttocks, it was a little swollen and painful, but it's really not a serious problem.

Pan Mei and Hu Guangyue froze on the spot, Zhu Xiu waved his hand, and Hu Guangyue whistled again to signal the evacuation, this time it was a frog-like cry.

Pan Mei stared at Wang Lingwen closely and said viciously: "If the Marquis has anything to do, just give him orders. Even if the King of Heaven comes today, I will never hurt the Marquis!"

Zhu Xiu was moved and anxious at the same time, and quickly gave them a look to tell them to leave quickly.

After the two of them retreated, Zhu Xiu limped into the pavilion, fell down and sat down on the wooden chair beside the railing, grinning and rubbing his buttocks:
"Is Wang Shisi's kick also an official order?"

Wang Lingwen smiled slightly and cupped his hands in the direction of Kaifeng: "Your Majesty~"

Zhu Xiu hurriedly knelt down, resisting the pain in her buttocks, and bowed down.

"Edict: In view of Zhu Xiu causing trouble in Jiangning, I specially ordered Wang Lingwen, the military envoy, to go to Jiangning to admonish him. This kick is a warning. If he continues to act recklessly, causing unrest in the border areas and disrupting the normal diplomatic relations between the two countries, he will wait until he returns to the court. I will punish you severely!"

Wang Lingwen cleared his throat and read Guo Wei's edict in a stern tone.

Zhu Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he bowed sadly and said: "My lord, Zhu Xiu, obeys the order, and thanks the official for the feet!"

Wang Lingwen smiled and said, "Master Zhu, you can get up now."

Zhu Xiu grinned and got up, Wang Lingwen even reached out to help him.

"Master Zhu, don't blame the old man for his face. The kick just now was a last resort. It was the official order, and the old man dared not disobey. Now, the old man can discuss the situation in the south of the Yangtze River with Master Zhu."

Wang Lingwen changed his cold and sinister expression before, and smiled like a wretched old man.

Zhu Xiu couldn't figure out his background, so he said honestly: "Just say what the king has told Si Dan. No one dares to disobey."

Wang Lingwen waved his hand: "Xue Juzheng will come to discuss the specific matters with you. I was ordered to come here just to cooperate with Xue Juzheng in rescuing you from Jiangning."

Zhu Xiudao: "What does Wang Shisi want to know?"

"How can I save you from trouble?" Wang Lingwen didn't even think about it.

Zhu Xiu resisted the urge to roll his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Now the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, will not kill me for the time being, but he will not let me go easily.

Li Hongji hates me to the core and is afraid that he will do something else.

Song Qiqiu and others regard me as Zhou Zong's party, and they will also attack me in order to suppress King Jin.

Qiqiu of the Song Dynasty advocated the use of troops against our dynasty, and persuaded the Lord of Tang Dynasty to use this gathering at Jingyuan as an excuse to start a war with our dynasty.

They also wanted to use rumors to slander the officials and send assassins into Jiangning to assassinate Li Hongji, so as to arouse the anger of the people in Jiangnan and become hostile to our country.

But according to my observation, Lord Tang is not a person without his own opinions.

He also covets the land in Huaibei, but the Tang army is attacking Hunan with all its strength and is temporarily unable to free its hands to fight across the Huaihe River, so he should not easily turn against our court.

The Tang Lord proposed to me in person that the two countries should follow the old alliance between Qin, Zhao, and Mianchi, and form a brotherly and friendly state, which will last forever.

This proposal was only to delay time, but it was also beneficial to me, Dazhou, so I did not refuse, but said that we would discuss it again when Xue Juzheng arrived.

Zhou Zong was grateful for me saving his beloved daughter, and pleaded for me many times. Xu Xuan, Li Congjia and others made good friends with me, so they kept me safe for the time being. "

Zhu Xiu sincerely analyzed his current situation and relations with all parties to Wang Lingwen.

Wang Lingwen listened carefully and laughed angrily: "Little Li Jing, you don't overestimate your own capabilities and your dream of returning to the capital is still alive. You treat me like a powerful tiger like nothing. You really deserve to die!"

Zhu Xiu smiled and said: "The Lord of the Tang Dynasty is certainly arrogant, but his ambition cannot be ignored. When our dynasty was first established, Liu Chong of Taiyuan, Murong Yanchao of Yanzhou, and the Khitan people had to guard against internal and external troubles.

The Tang Dynasty tried its best to annex Hunan, but was unable to advance northward. There was bound to be a war between the two countries, but not now.

Therefore, I think that the alliance is feasible, and it can keep my Dazhou Huaibei land safe for three to five years! "

Wang Lingwen said: "This old man will send people back to Kaifeng as soon as possible, and ask the officials to make a decision. You should discuss the specific matters with Xue Juzheng."

"That's natural."

Wang Lingwen smiled and said: "So, not only is Zhu Houye not in danger at present, but he is also valued by the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Zong, Xu Xuan, Han Xizai and others are on good terms with him.

Lord Zhu and his family are all here. If you surrender to the Tang State, Li Jing will definitely be of great use to you. "

Of course, Zhu Xiu could tell that Wang Lingwen was deliberately testing him. With a serious look on his face, he held his hands in the direction of Kaifeng:
"I am deeply favored by the emperor. Even if I am attacked by an ax, I will never betray my master! If in the end, I still can't escape from Jiangning, please ask the Wang Envoy to send my mother, brother, sister-in-law, and my family back to Kaifeng safely. I am willing to remain single. Go to death!"

Wang Lingwen's dark eyes stared at him for more than a dozen breaths, Zhu Xiu's face remained unchanged.

"Haha, Lord Zhu, don't worry. No one doubts that Lord Zhu is loyal to the emperor. The officials are very caring about Lord Zhu, otherwise they would not have ordered me to come to Jiangning in person." Wang Lingwen said with a smile.

"Zhu Xiu died without repaying the favor of the officials!" Zhu Xiu sobbed gratefully.

Wang Lingwen stood up and was about to say goodbye and leave. When he came to see Zhu Xiu today, he already got everything he wanted to know.

"If I had shown the slightest intention to kill you just now, would your people have not hesitated to kill me on the spot?"

Wang Lingwen walked out of the pavilion and suddenly turned around and asked.

Zhu Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and she pretended to be calm and said: "No! They are all soldiers of the Huai Army that I secretly brought to Jiangning. They swear allegiance to the officials. Wang Shisi came here with the emperor's orders. How dare they be disrespectful?

It was just an on-the-spot reaction just now, Wang Envoy must not be overwhelmed. "

Wang Lingwen smiled meaningfully: "Master Zhu Hou will stay. I will send someone to contact you in two days."

After saying that, Wang Lingwen suddenly quickened his pace and ran for a short distance. He stepped lightly on a stone candlestick and jumped up to the top of the wall. He ran straight along the courtyard wall and disappeared between the houses.

"Huh~" Zhu Xiu let out a long sigh of relief and slumped down on the ground weakly.

Today, by accident, Wang Lingwen discovered the secrets of Zangfeng Camp and the Fifth Capital.

From now on, we have to find ways to cover up the past.

Wu Desi's spies are not vegetarians. If the brainwashing ritual of personality worship and loyalty pledge carried out by Zhu Xiu in Zangfeng Camp and Fifth City is leaked, it will definitely cause him big trouble.

Pan Mei and Hu Guangyue rushed over to help him up.

Pan Mei's face was solemn: "This person's martial arts is the way of the rivers and lakes. He is not very useful on the battlefield, but he is extremely difficult to deal with when he walks in the world. He climbs over walls and swims like he is walking on flat ground. He must be more careful in the future."

Zhu Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "Wudes are all officials' eagle dogs. They have the power of arrest, arrest and inquiry, and they are also responsible for gathering intelligence from the world. Although their reputation is despised, they have deep powers and responsibilities and are trusted by officials. You must be careful when dealing with them." cautious."

All three of them had lingering fears. Wang Lingwen, the well-known martial arts envoy, turned out to be a difficult guy when they met today.

"Master Marquis, the Tutor's Mansion has sent someone to urge you, please hurry up." Hu Guangyue said.

Zhu Xiu lifted up her robe and turned her head to look at it. There was a clear big footprint on her buttocks. She grinned and said, "Go get the car ready first, and I'll come as soon as I change my clothes."
