The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 320 Guan Xing Shows His Power
After Sun Lang sent off the three of Guan Xing, he did not immediately go back to his room to rest, but left the second master Mu Chong behind, and the two walked back to the meeting hall.

At this time, Sun Lang's originally smiling face suddenly became dark, and his originally stretched sword eyebrows also frowned.

Since Sun Lang killed officials and rebelled, Mu Chong has been following Sun Lang and knows Sun Lang's temperament very well.He immediately realized that Sun Lang must have encountered difficulties again, and he should have asked him to discuss with him if he stayed.

Mu Chong stepped forward and asked, "Boss, do you have something to tell me?"

Sun Lang nodded, and took out the letter that Guan Yu had written to him from his bosom.After Mu Chong took it and unfolded it, his expression became a little hesitant.

Mu Chong thought for a while and said: "The conditions offered by Guan Yu are actually similar to the conditions given to us by Cao Wei. They both said that you can be made a marquis and a general. But now the war between the two sides has reached a stalemate. If we invest in any side, it is possible change the situation today.”

Sun Lang nodded and sighed: "Since we have become bandits, we have to weigh the interests involved. Judging from the current battle situation, it seems that Guan Yu has the upper hand. But Cao Wei has always been the strongest. Now we should A large number of troops are already being sent to Jingzhou. Therefore, the final direction of the war in Jingzhou is still unclear."

Mu Chong nodded and said, "Does the chief want to continue to maintain a wait-and-see attitude? But Cao Wei and Guan Yu have already sent envoys to us. I'm afraid this matter won't take too long."

Sun Lang sighed again: "This is exactly what makes me difficult! So we must quickly determine which side to invest in, so as to obtain the greatest benefits."

Then, both of them fell into silence at the same time.The flickering firelight in the meeting hall illuminated Sun Lang's dark face, which turned red, and the light in his eyes flashed and flashed with the flickering firelight.

The next day, when Guan Xing woke up, it was already daylight.He opened the window of the room, and a ray of early winter sunshine slanted into the room, and the chirping of birds came from his ears.In the forest area below the mountain in the distance, a thin mist emerged, filling the space between every tree.

Guan Xing took a long, deep breath. Although the air in the mountains was slightly cool, it was very fresh.Because he drank a lot of wine last night, he slept quite peacefully, and his spirit has become better now.

Guan Xing was about to go out to discuss with Sun Lang about dispatching troops.But he was told by a person sent to wait on him that Sun Lang had already led people to patrol the mountains, and he should not be back until night.

Guan Xing frowned involuntarily, now that a major event was pending, this Sun Lang actually went to patrol the mountain?Guan Xing was dissatisfied, so he had no choice but to let go of his thoughts of taking care of Sun Lang, and ate breakfast hastily under the service of that man.

After finally waiting until night, Sun Lang sent someone to inform Guan Xing and others to go to the banquet.The banquet this time was even richer and more lively than last night's.Even Sun Lang managed the other heads of the mountain villages, and they all rushed back to attend the banquet.

So, one song and dance followed another, one persuasion after another, immediately made everyone in Guan Xing feel overwhelmed.For more than half of the night, Guan Xing couldn't find a chance to discuss with Sun Lang about dispatching troops, which made him suspicious!
This situation continued until the third day.At this time, the original suspicion in Guan Xing's heart was finally unbearable.

After attending Sun Lang's banquet that night, after returning to his lodging, he immediately called Zuo Fu and asked him to secretly send someone out to find out if there was any hidden secret.The reason why Guan Xing asked Zuo Fu's men to do this, instead of sending Zhao Feng's Bai Er guards, was because Zuo Fu's men were all rangers of three religions, and it was definitely better than Bai Er to act in such a cottage. Guards are much more skilled.

Guan Xing's assignment was indeed correct.Not more than an hour after Zuo Fu took the order to leave, he had already come to report to Guan Xing.It turned out that a few people he sent out sneaked into the camp of those thieves and captured a Sun Wolf's personal guard.

After their secret interrogation, they learned that Sun Lang was actually in contact with the envoys sent by Cao Wei at the same time.Why did Sun Lang go to patrol the mountains in person during the day, but in fact he went to meet Cao Wei's envoy.

After Guan Xing listened to Zuo Fu's report, he was furious immediately, and a frightening light flashed in his pair of phoenix eyes.When had Guan Xing ever been fooled by others like this, and the other party was actually just a bandit leader? This was simply an unbearable humiliation for him!
With a bang, Guan Xing suddenly punched the table in the room, and it was shaken to pieces with one punch.It can be seen how angry he is now, who has always been calm.

Guan Xing's actions startled Zuo Fu a little.He was afraid that Guan Xing would lose his mind and do something, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "General Guan, be safe and don't be impatient, don't let yourself get angry."

Guan Xing took a long, deep breath to calm down his impetuous mood, but his face was already flushed red like his old father.

After a while, Guan Xing's expression softened a little.He then asked Zuo Fu, "Mr. Zuo, where is Cao Wei's envoy living now? Have your people found out?"

Zuo Fu nodded and said, "They are now living in another cottage three miles to the west."

Guan Xing nodded, and said: "Well, you can send some more people now to secretly investigate the situation there. Then, you come back to discuss the next action plan with me and Captain Zhao."

Seeing that Guan Xing was able to make such a safe arrangement immediately after he calmed down, Zuo Fu couldn't help but admire him even more. His coping ability is probably better than that of the prince.He readily accepted the order and went away.

At night on the third day, Guan Xing and the others found an excuse not to attend the banquet arranged by Sun Lang for them, but all went to bed early.

Sun Lang originally wanted to have a banquet, so that Guan Xing would not have the opportunity to discuss with him about sending troops.Now that Guan Xing and the others are not coming, he is happy to have a leisurely time, so naturally he doesn't try to force people to come to the banquet.

That night, the weather was still very good.Although the full moon from a few days ago is now missing a corner, the moonlight still looks very bright.Under the moon sky, occasionally there will be some clouds as thin as a veil passing by, but they can only slightly weaken the brightness of the moonlight.

In the stone village to the west of Sun Lang's former village, it was also unusually quiet in this night.The lights in most of the places inside have already been extinguished, only some torches were still burning at the gate of the village, which shivered in the breeze, and there were bursts of crackling sounds when the turpentine burned.

On the tower and at the gate of the village, there were only a dozen young men walking around listlessly carrying guns, obviously guarded by Paila.

Just a hundred meters away from the entrance of Stone Village, there are stones everywhere, and under the moonlight, they cast black shadows on the ground.

Guan Xing, Zhao Feng, and Zuo Fu suddenly poked their heads out of the shadows at the same time, and looked at the gate of Stone Village.Didn't they all fall asleep early because they didn't go to Sun Lang's banquet, so why did they suddenly appear here?
It turned out that after Guan Xing was furious last night, he called Zhao Feng and Zuo Fu to discuss.He then told his plan.

Since Sun Lang is still playing the game of both sides of the head and mouse, they might as well push Sun Lang and let him quickly make up his mind to vote for their side-kill the envoy of Cao Wei!Sun Lang originally killed officials and rebelled on Cao Wei's territory, but now he kills the envoy who surrendered, so he will never have the opportunity to join Cao Wei again.

Someone like Guan Xing would actually think of such a drastic method, which immediately shocked Zhao Feng and Zuo Fu.But they really couldn't think of a better way, and the date agreed with the son was coming soon.In the end, the two had to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and agreed to Guan Xing's method.That's why, tonight, with a group of people, they secretly sneaked out from Sun Lang's stronghold, and came under the stone village where the envoy of Cao Wei lived.

Guan Xing said to Zhao Feng and Zuo Fu solemnly: "Listen up, everyone. There are at least three thousand minions in this stone village, so we can't defeat them no matter what. So, tonight we The mission is not to destroy this cottage, but to sneak into the interior and kill the Cao Wei envoy."

Zhao Feng and Zuo Fu nodded at the same time to express their understanding.Guan Xing began to order: "Mr. Zuo Fu, you first take your men and sneak over to deal with the guards guarding the gate and the tower, and then stay there to guard the gate. Captain Zhao will also send three Ten archers will command you."

Zuo Fu nodded, knowing that Guan Xing's arrangement was to let him guard the retreat.He immediately said: "I will definitely live up to the general's entrustment."

Guan Xing said to Zhao Feng again: "After we enter Dazhai, tell your people not to make too much noise. You must wait until you touch the place where Cao Wei's envoy lives before launching an attack, and then we will retreat quickly!"

Zhao Feng nodded, and then went down to choose the man for Zuo Fu.And Zuo Fu immediately led his men, all of them were like ghosts, using all kinds of shadows on the ground, secretly lurking towards the gate of the stone village.

Not a moment later, a waving torch suddenly appeared on the tower above the gate of the village—it was a signal agreed upon by Guan Xing and Zuo Fu, indicating that Zuo Fu's men had successfully captured the gate of the village.

Guan Xing immediately said to Zhao Feng: "Everyone follow me." Guan Xing rushed out first as he said that. Under the moonlight, he saw more than 200 figures rushing towards the gate of Shitou Village.

When they reached the gate of the village, the gate of the village had already been opened by Zuo Fu's men.Zhao Feng immediately separated [-] people, and after leaving all the bows and arrows to them, everyone continued to rush inside.

Since Zuo Fu's rangers had already carried out a detailed reconnaissance of this place, under their leadership, it was easy to solve the various guard posts inside, and arrived at the area where the Cao Wei envoy lived smoothly.

There are five wooden houses scattered here, and the moonlight turns the roofs into a silvery white, as if stained with a layer of silver frost.There are still a few figures walking back and forth in the lower part of the room, presumably they are people on guard.

You Xia then told Guan Xing and Zhao Feng that the people living in the five wooden houses were all Cao Wei's people, and the envoy lived in the middle one now.

Guan Xing nodded, and said to Zhao Feng: "Lieutenant Zhao, the two of us will lead ten people each to get rid of those guard posts."

After Zhao Feng nodded in agreement, Guan Xing ordered everyone to disperse, and first surrounded the five wooden houses from the outside to cut off all the escape routes of the enemy.

After those people were all deployed, Guan Xing took his ten personal guards, and Zhao Feng also took the best of the ten white-eared guards, and walked towards the five wooden houses together swaggeringly.

Before they approached, seven or eight people rushed out from the wooden house, and stopped Guan Xing and others, telling them not to go any further.

Guan Xing immediately went out and said to them: "Don't get me wrong, we are ordered by the village master to come here to ask if you need help." Guan Xing continued to lead people towards the other party go.

Those people saw that Guan Xing spoke very politely, and there seemed to be no malice in his words, so they didn't pay attention to Guan Xing and continued to walk over.

Just when Guan Xing and the others approached three or four meters away from each other, Guan Xing finally saw that there were only seven people in the other party.Guan Xing thought to himself, this is the time.He suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "Everyone, do it!" Then, he charged at the seven people first.
