Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 506
The envoy sent by Yingbo to contact Peng Yue is called Zong Yu, who is Yingbo's absolute confidant who has followed Yingbo for many years. He is currently granted the position of doctor in Linjiang. After waiting for several days, he finally got a positive answer from Peng Yue. He was overjoyed Zong Yu hurriedly left Chen County and returned to Linjiang to report to Yingbo.

When Zongten returned to Linjiang, Yingbo had already left the capital of Jiangling under the honor of the princes and kings, and went north to the vicinity of Deng County. When he heard that Zongten had returned, Yingbo immediately summoned him alone. As soon as they met, they couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? What's the reply from that bastard Peng Yue?"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Peng Yue agreed. He is willing to take a chance and use this opportunity to assassinate that tyrant Xiang Kang."

Yingbo was overjoyed by Zongten's answer. When Yingbo hurriedly asked for details, he learned that Peng Yue had started to have an ambiguous attitude. After thinking about it for several days, Peng Yue met Zongten alone and secretly agreed to take advantage of this opportunity. The opportunity to assassinate Xiang Kang was met, and the condition proposed was that if it happened, Yingbu must help Peng Yue send troops to attack the old Chu lands such as Dangjun and Sishui, and help Peng Yue establish himself as the king of Chu on the old land of Chu; If he is defeated, Yingbo must help Peng Yue escape to Linjiang to hide, and provide security guarantee for Peng Yue's family.

"Not too much, these conditions are not too much at all." Ying Bu said happily: "As long as he dares to do something, even if the matter fails, the widow will definitely guarantee the safety of his family."

"My Majesty, I have the guts to agree to Peng Yue's request for you." Zong Tenon said hastily, "But Peng Yue is not willing to trust the promise of my next doctor, and wants you to give him something before you can do anything."

"What?" Ying Bu asked quickly.

"Your Majesty's handwritten handwriting." Zong Yu immediately said: "Peng Yue wants you, Majesty, to write in black and white on silk, personally write the book, and promise to help him become king in Chu after the matter is completed, and protect his family and children after the matter is defeated." Ping An, I still need you to affix your seal of Linjiang King on the document before he dares to take the risk."

No matter how reckless Yingbo is, of course he would not dare to be careless about this kind of matter, so after listening to Peng Yue's request conveyed by Zongten, Yingbo's heart suddenly became a little drummed, and he said secretly: "This matter is not a joke. If I write down After obtaining this document, Peng Yue's idiot suddenly turned against him, and this king would lose his life immediately. And even if this idiot did not sell this king, if the assassination failed and this document fell into the hands of the traitors, this king would still be the same It must be a dead end."

With such worries in his heart, Yingbo of course did not dare to write lightly, but asked about the detailed situation at that time after thinking about it. Zong tenon answered truthfully, saying that when Peng Yue secretly summoned him, he hesitated for a long time before quietly agreeing. He made the promise with his hands, and he had doubts about Zongten's words, so he asked Yingbo to leave a written promise.

After careful questioning, no flaws were found, but Yingbo was still unwilling to rest assured. After thinking about it for a while, Yingbo came up with an idea and said: "I won't give Peng Yue an answer for this matter, we still have enough time. Let the guards speed up and rush to Chen County ahead of Xiang Kang's Shuzi, and meet with Peng Yue in person to see what kind of person he is before making a decision."

After making up his mind, Yingbu decisively ordered his guards to speed up their advance. First, they went straight to Wancheng along the Chidao, then went north to Kunyang, then changed their way to the east, passed through Zhaoling and went straight to Chen County, and then Relying on the hard work of the guards, Yingbu and his party of more than [-] people arrived at the destination ten days ahead of schedule. They became the first princes and kings to arrive in Chen County, and they were immediately warmly welcomed by Peng Yue.

This is also the first time that Yingbo, the water bandit from the Yangtze River, and Peng Yue, the water bandit from Juyeze, have met. Not to mention, because both of them were bandits, Peng Yue left a pretty good first impression on Yingbo, with a bold gesture. The temperament made Yingbo feel more cordial, and after talking about their respective experiences of gathering people to steal, Yingbo couldn't help feeling that he had found a bosom friend, and soon formed a close friend with Peng Yue who talked about everything. .

What made Yingbo even more secretly happy was the performance of Peng Yue's cronies and confidants. At the banquet to welcome Yingbo, Peng Yue's cronies and cronies headed by Hu Zhe drank a few cups of yellow soup, and soon it was Weng Ruyu's swearing. Fei, who was exactly the same as the gangsters who had followed Yingbu for many years, when they were drinking happily, Peng Yue's cronies not only disrespected Xiang Kang's words, some even drew out their swords and slashed at the pillars while yelling, Completely turned the good lobby of the Marquis Mansion into a bandit den.

Seeing this scene, Peng Yue not only didn't blame him at all, but also said to Yingbo with a smile: "Your Majesty, please don't mind, they are all ordinary people who have followed me for many years. They have always been like this, and I got used to it."

"I don't mind, I don't mind, it's also a virtue for the gangsters under the widow to drink too much." Ying Bu smiled and said something in his heart, and then secretly happy in his heart: "Okay, only such fools dare to be serious. Follow Peng Yue to do great things."

Of course the matter was not over yet, when the drinking was about the same, the virtuous Peng Yue and Yingbu's confidantes even played money directly in the lobby, Yingbo and Peng Yue not only did not stop them, but also gave some money to each His subordinates let them gamble with peace of mind, and Peng Yue also asked his servants to add wine and vegetables to these bandits and thieves, so that they could have more fun, and then said to Yingbo: "My lord, if you are not interested in participating, let's go out for a walk together." How about going?"

Of course Yingbo agreed, and immediately followed Peng Yue out of the lobby, and went for a walk in the back garden of Peng Yue's Marquis Mansion. Then Yingbo and Peng Yue tacitly left their entourage aside quickly, leaving no outsiders behind. Walk under the moon.Then it was at this time that Peng Yue suddenly said: "It seems that the king still doesn't trust me, Peng Yue, otherwise, the king wouldn't have to rush to Chen County in such a hurry to see with his own eyes what kind of person I am, Peng Yue."

"Chen Hou misunderstood." Ying Bo said with a smile: "The widow came to Chen county in such a hurry. I really wanted to get together with the famous Chen Hou as soon as possible. It has absolutely no meaning."

Peng Yue smiled, too lazy to point out that Yingbo still didn't believe himself, just lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "Everything is ready, my family's escape route has been arranged, and the toilet in the residence prepared for him is built. A wall, he will be protected by guards no matter where he goes, but there will never be any in the latrine. As for the person who did it, the name of Xu Chang Zhang He, I wonder if you have heard of it, Your Majesty?"

"Xuchang Zhanghe?" Yingbu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Could it be the famous strong man Xuchang Zhanghe who assassinated the county magistrate of Xiayi and also tried to assassinate Zhong Limei, and was wanted by the imperial court for a reward of three thousand gold? "

"It's him." Peng Yue looked at the night and replied without turning his head: "His younger brother died at the hands of Zhong Limo on the Suanzao Battlefield when he was serving the Western Chu Army. My younger brother took revenge and failed to assassinate Zhong Limei in Dingtao, so he fled to Xiayi to hide. The county magistrate of Xiayi accidentally insulted him in the city, so he assassinated the magistrate of Xiayi and continued to flee for the world. I am in Juye Ze I met him when I was a water bandit, and he fled here to join me, and I took him in, and someone secretly sent a sum of money to his mother and sister, and he promised to repay me with his life."

At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the spirit of rangers was still very popular. It was common for so-called rangers to kill people for trivial matters. Yingbo also recruited many outlaws like Zhang He, so after hearing what Peng Yue said, Yingbo not only did not Any surprises, on the contrary, he was even more secretly happy in his heart, hurriedly said in a low voice: "Chen Hou is really worthy of being a hero, no wonder even Zhang He is so famous as a strong man, he is willing to be used by Chen Hou."

"It's easy to do, but difficult to deal with aftermath." Peng Yue ignored Yingbo's compliment, and just said to himself: "Regardless of whether Zhang He can succeed or not, as long as the wall in the latrine is exposed, everyone will know that I am the most suspicious, so Zhang He Even if he successfully succeeds, I can only flee to the end of the world at the first time. I must pass the limelight before I can do other things. Also, everyone knows that I am most likely to go to Juyeze, so if I go to Going northeast is doomed to a dead end."

"Don't worry, Marquis Chen, Linjiang is in the southwest." Ying Bu smiled and said, "No one would have thought, Marquis Chen, you would go southwest in the opposite direction."

"Then can your lord give me what I want?" Peng Yue smiled and said in a low voice: "With your lord's personal guarantee, the man will arrive in Chen county ten days later, and that night should be his death day. But if your lord still Looking forward and backward, I just want to hide on the shore and watch the boat capsize, and in ten days, it is definitely too late to fill in the wall."

Ying Bu blinked his eyes and calculated, but he was still somewhat uneasy. Peng Yue understood his thoughts, and said again: "If the king is still worried about Peng Yue, then let's just pretend that this never happened, and everyone will go their own way. In the future, Your Majesty, you will continue to be your Linjiang King, and I will continue to be my Marquis Chen. As for our children's marriage, Your Majesty can also decide whether to renegotiate."

Considering that this is his best chance, and that Peng Yue, like himself, is a desperado who is so crazy that even he is afraid of him, or a so-called hero who values ​​loyalty and face more than his life, Yingbo has made up his mind completely. , said in a low voice: "Since Chen Hou has spoken to a certain extent, the widow has no scruples anymore, please arrange a place for Chen Hou, and the widow will write to you now."

Peng Yue showed a satisfied smile, and immediately invited Yingbo to sit in his study. Yingbo agreed with a smile. After Peng Yue came to his study, he immediately picked up the writing brush that Peng Yue personally gave him, and put it on a piece of white silk. It wrote the guarantee document requested by Peng Yue, promising to help Peng Yue establish himself as king in Chu after he succeeded in assassinating Xiang Kang, and also guaranteeing to take Peng Yue and his children and protect their safety after failing to assassinate Xiang Kang.

Then, after signing his name on the document and stamping his seal of Linjiang King, Ying Bu presented the document in front of Peng Yue with both hands, and said very solemnly: "Marquis Chen, what is the overall situation of the world?" Development is up to you. Please rest assured, Marquis Chen, I will definitely keep my promise, and I will never break my promise like Xiang Kangzhuzi, who broke his word."

"Don't worry, King Linjiang, if I don't trust you, King Linjiang, I will never dare to join forces with you to do such a big thing."

Peng Yue answered more solemnly, and then took Yingbu's handwritten guarantee document with both hands. After carefully checking that the content was correct, Peng Yue first folded the document carefully and put it away, and then said with a smile: "Okay, let's do it."

Saying this, Peng Yue suddenly grabbed the ceramic pen holder on the table in front of him, and fell heavily on the ground. The pen holder was smashed, and before Yingbu could understand what had happened, more than a dozen people rushed in from the back room and outside the door at the same time. A Pengyue guard pointed at Yingbo with his spear, Yingbo was startled and roared angrily, "Peng Yue, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Peng Yue said with a surprised expression, and said with a smile, "What? King Linjiang, you haven't noticed yet? This Marquis is capturing a traitor for His Majesty, and is going to take you, a traitor, to His Majesty in exchange for a big reward?"

"You——!" Yingbo was completely awakened, and immediately jumped up and wanted to draw his sword, roaring, "You man! How dare you lie to me?!"

Of course it was too late to stand up and draw his sword. Before Yingbo jumped up, several strong guards rushed up to hold him down, and then took out the ropes he had prepared long ago to tie him up. Yingbo struggled and roared. , roared: "Peng Yue! You forgot how Xiang Kang Xiaozhuzi treated you? He promised to make you Prime Minister Chu, did he keep his promise? Did he keep his promise?"

"Prince Linjiang, who told you that His Majesty agreed to make me Prime Minister of Chu?" Peng Yue asked strangely, and then said: "My Prime Minister of Chu was named by myself, and King Jingjia of Chu whom I supported died. It's time for me, the self-appointed Prime Minister of Chu, to resign and go into seclusion. His Majesty not only entrusted me with the famous city of Chen County in the Central Plains, but also granted me the food towns of four other counties, which is very special to me. Forgive me, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"

After finishing speaking, Peng Yue smiled again and said: "Thanks to your blessing, this Marquis's fiefdom can be bigger now, please rest assured, Ben Hou will definitely let my children and grandchildren remember you in the future, They are able to enjoy so much glory and wealth bestowed by His Majesty, many of them have been honored by you, Your Majesty."

"Idiot! Shameless villain! Despicable bastard! Shuzi! Idiot...!"

Yingbo struggled and yelled, and only got a piece of linen to gag his mouth. After Yingbu was tied up, Peng Yue immediately sent someone to his confidant Luanbu to order him to lead the guards into the lobby and kill the drunk Yingbu's confidantes and cronies were all captured, and then an emergency army was dispatched to surround the post house where Yingbo was staying, and captured the entourage and guards brought by Yingbo.

It was only at this time that Luan Bu's plan to invite the king into the urn for Peng Yue went a little off. Some Yingbu guards not only refused to put down their weapons and surrender, but also resisted by force and rushed out of the posthouse to kill people and set fire everywhere. Caused no small loss.However, after the situation report was in front of Peng Yue, Peng Yue not only did not feel distressed at all, but also said with a smile: "A little loss is fine, when His Majesty's car drives to Chen County, I can see with my own eyes the loss that the Marquis suffered for capturing the rebellion for him." , I will definitely compensate Ben Hou more."
