Kowloon wins

Chapter 541 Weiwei Taihang ([-])

"Close the city gates!"

Nian Gengyao bowed his body and watched Hong Qing and his party pass through the closed gate. It wasn't until the sound of rumbling horseshoes gradually subsided that he stood up straight and strode towards Guancheng with his head held high. He let out a drink without looking back.

"General Nian, this, is this inappropriate?"

When Nian Gengyao made this order, the generals who followed him quietly immediately became a commotion, and one of the most experienced guerrilla generals raised doubts in surprise. One of the important commercial roads between provinces. Although there are fewer business travelers in this season, they are just fewer and not extinct. In fact, there are still hundreds of business travelers who come to clear the customs every day, and there is no order to go to the peak. Well, if you close the customs without authorization, it is a capital offense, and the generals will be very nervous about it if you are not free.

"Do you dare to question this general's order?"

As soon as the guerrilla general finished speaking, Nian Gengyao suddenly turned around, holding the handle of the knife with his hand, and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth in an extremely eerie way.

"The last general doesn't dare, the last general doesn't dare, it's just..."

As soon as Nian Gengyao's murderous aura erupted, the guerrilla general's face turned pale. He didn't even dare to say anything, but tried to explain, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't dare to go any further. Next said.

"Hmph, I will only say the order once, and anyone who dares to violate it will be killed without mercy!"

Nian Gengyao glanced coldly at the panicked generals, snorted heavily, and gave the order to die with murderous intent.

"twitter!"

Although Nian Gengyao had been in office for less than a month, it was well known that his methods were ruthless, and all the generals present were not afraid of him. Hearing Nian Gengyao's order at this moment, all of them were in a dark state of mind. , how dare you say more, you can only keep your promises...

"My lord, something seems wrong."

There are two flowers blooming, one for each branch, not to mention how majestic Nian Gengyao was in Niangziguan, but Hongqing led his troops through the pass, and walked the ancient road in Xingnei all the way, until he turned a cliff and came out. After closing the sight of the defenders, Li Minxing rode his horse and rushed to Hong Qing's side, and said in a low voice.

"Well, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, that's how things are in the end."

There was no need for Li Minxing to remind her at all, as early as the first time she saw Nian Gengyao, Hong Qing had already seen through the strangeness, but Hong Qing had other plans in her heart and didn't want to tell the truth, that's all when she heard Li Minxing's words Generally speaking, Hong Qing only sighed with emotion in a cold voice, but did not stop because of this.

"My lord, there must be an ambush ahead, the general thought it would be better for us to retreat outside the pass first."

Li Minxing is the commander of the guards of the palace, and he shoulders heavy responsibilities, so he dare not sit back and watch Hongqing take risks, so he hastened to make a suggestion.

"Oh, it's too late. If my king's predictions are not bad, not only the Niangzi Pass behind us has been closed, but also the Jingxing Pass in front of me. With such a capital investment, how can I allow this king to get away easily."

As soon as Li Minxing's words fell, Hong Qing laughed, shook her head, and explained her own situation in a calm but slightly bitter tone.

"This……"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, even if Li Min was stunned, he really didn't know what to say for a while.

"Tigers have plans for people, and people have plans for tigers. In the end, it's just a matter of who is more scheming. The order will be passed on, and the whole army will rush forward. Dare to reach Baijing Village before sunset."

Hong Qing obviously didn't want to discuss this matter any more, and after a few words of emotion, she raised her voice and gave the order, then shook the horse's rein, and accelerated to gallop forward.

The roads in Jingxing are notoriously difficult. On one side is the surging Taohe River, and on the other side is a tall and steep cliff. Riding and running is quite difficult, not to mention that there are several carriages in Hong Qing's party, even if Hong Qing has given the order to march quickly, the speed of the whole army is still not fast, but eh, not at all. It was slow, and finally arrived in front of Baijing Village before the sunset.

Although Jingxing is dangerous, it is not blindly narrow. There are also several gentle mountains along the way. Since the Qin Dynasty, people have settled in the mountains. Baijingzhai is the largest village among them, but this so-called The largest, in fact, there are only more than thirty families. It is located on the hillside beside the road. Most of the people in the village make a living from farming, and they also provide some conveniences for meals and accommodation for the businessmen who come and go. The folk customs are quite simple. When returning to Jingxing, Hongqing had also been working here. Although he didn't stay long, he was deeply impressed by the peaceful atmosphere in the village. A faint smile appeared involuntarily at the corner of his mouth.

"The whole army stops, and camps by the roadside!"

Baijing village is not big, so it can't accommodate Hongqing's group of more than [-] people, not to mention lodging, it's difficult even to be top-notch, besides, Hongqing didn't intend to do such disturbing things, At a distance of more than two hundred steps from the village, he immediately reined in the horse under his crotch, waved his hand, and stopped the whole army from moving forward.

"Hey, masters, do you want to be top?"

The clumsy work of setting up the camp was done by a group of guards. With nothing to do, Hong Qing led Li Minxing and a few other guards to the Baijing Village. The man rushed up to greet him, and exchanged greetings with flattering smiles.

"Second brother, why didn't you see Sun Laosan?"

When Hongqing passed by Baijingzhai before, she also had a shot at the small teahouse at the entrance of the village. Seeing that the waiter who came to greet her was not the same as before, a bright light flashed in her eyes immediately. But there was no other expression, just a question with a smile.

"Hey, this master knows the third brother, hehe, to tell you the truth, the third brother went to Pingding County, and said that he wanted to buy some drinks and goods, and let the younger one do it for a few days, come, come, come, you guys please."

Hearing Hong Qing mentioned Sun Laosan, the waiter in the shop was obviously stunned, but soon came back to his senses, explained with a smile, and graciously let Hong Qing and others go to the small teahouse.

"Oh, that's how it is. Little brother, don't be too busy. I'll wait for three to five catties of stewed beef. I'll cut it up, and I'll bring some sauerkraut and the like. Just bring it with you."

Hong Qing didn't ask any more questions, but nodded with a smile, walked slowly into the awning, sat down casually, and gave a warm instruction.

"Okay, just wait a moment, the little one will be chopped up for you."

The waiter nodded and bowed in response, and trotted back to the counter, picked up a few large pieces of stewed beef from under the table, weighed them deftly, and chopped them up on the chopping board with a copying knife. .

"Little brother, there are so many people crowded at the other end of the village, I'm afraid your business will be successful."

Hong Qing casually looked around the surrounding area, then set her eyes on the busy waiter, and joked with a smile.

"Thanks to you, it's okay."

The waiter in the shop chopped the meat without raising his head, and he was perfunctory, obviously not very interested in explaining the affairs of the village east.

"Hehe, little brother, do you know who these people are?"

The waiter didn't want to talk about it, but Hong Qing insisted on asking.

"Oh, it's all caused by the White Lotus Sect. Yesterday, a group of caravans were robbed on the road ahead. It is said that a few people died. They reported to the officials, but they didn't see anything from the officers and soldiers. No, some merchants The team didn't dare to walk at night, and they all gathered at the east end of the village, and the noise was so loud, it's really unlucky!"

When Hong Qing asked such a question, the shop waiter was obviously a little unhappy, chopped a few times vigorously, and complained angrily.

"Oh, that's annoying. It seems that if the Jingxing Road is not in order, I'm afraid it won't work."

Hearing what the shop waiter said, Hong Qing smiled lightly and shook her head. After expressing a word of emotion, she didn't say any more, and fell silent. The only thing in the teahouse was the shop waiter's aggressive voice chopping meat. .

"My lords, everything you want is ready, and I will thank you for one, two or five silver coins."

After a while, the waiter in the shop chopped up the meat, and quickly prepared a few side dishes, put them in a food box, bowed down and delivered them to the table where Hong Qing and the others were, and offered the price with a smile on his face.

"Well, I'm sorry, there are two taels of silver here, don't need to look for it, if you have more, it will be rewarded by the Lord."

Hong Qing had no intention of counter-offering at all, and with a shake of her hand, she took out a piece of broken silver from the bag at her waist, put it on the table, and said hello, then got up and looked after herself. Then he went out, and a royal guard who was waiting on the side picked up the food box placed on the table, and quickly followed behind Hong Qing.

"Thank you for your reward, Lord, please go slowly."

Seeing that Yinzi was in his early twenties, the waiter's face immediately wrinkled into an old chrysanthemum with a smile, and he sent Hong Qing and others out of the teahouse with gratitude, and then happily went back to the shop with the silver in his hands.

"My lord, there is something wrong with the waiter in that shop, and the situation in the village is not right. I'm afraid it will be rare to be peaceful tonight."

After leaving the shop, Li Minxing wandered all the way to the front of his family's unbuilt camp. Li Minxing, who had been silent all this time, couldn't hold back any longer. He moved to Hong Qing's side and reminded him in a low voice.

"Well, it's not right. There is smoke from cooking in the village, but there are no children running around. Obviously something is wrong. Besides, the waiter in the shop is extremely skilled with knives, and he is very skillful. A large piece of stewed beef can be cut easily with one knife. How can an ordinary cook be able to chop a chopping board? As for the caravan at the east end of the village, there are also problems. It’s really fun, let’s go, let’s talk in the camp.”

Although Hongqing's experience in the world is not as good as Li Minxing's, her observation ability is not bad at all, so she can't fail to see the strangeness of the situation in Baijing Village, but she doesn't take it to heart, and commented indifferently After a few words, he strode into the gate of the camp...
