Chapter 181 Fishing in troubled waters(1/2)

Outside the Fang Mansion, the war became more and more intense.

Pan Shangshu stood in the square in front of the main gate of the Fang Mansion with a blue face. He knew that through this thick gate, there was a person inside that he had hated for decades and feared for decades, the monarch and ministers, who had been friends for decades and enemies for decades. As long as he was caught, the nightmare and haze that had been entangled with him over the years would be wiped out, which made him more excited than being an emperor.

The attack of the opponent's mansion has been ongoing for half an hour, and each attack is mercilessly defeated by the imperial guards. It is worthy of being the personal army beside the emperor. At this critical moment, two or three thousand people actually blocked the crazy attack of nearly 10,000 rebels. Without solid and reliable fortifications and invulnerable armor, the imperial guards blocked the rebels again and again with the standard steel sword and spear in their hands, and it is impossible to obtain further.

"Sir, please order the soldiers to set fire to the house! If this continues, we will suffer a lot of casualties!" Zhao Hu's face, which was always calm, showed a little anxiety. As a soldier, he only knew to win every battle by any means, because the situation on the battlefield changes, time is the most precious to both the enemy and us, especially now, the matter involves life and life, and it is even more unbearable.

"Absolutely not possible!" Pan Shangshu sternly rejected Zhao Hu's proposal.

"The four armies have not started as promised. I am sure they can't come anymore. In other words, now only your 30,000 troops are left to support the city. As long as any army outside the city goes to Beijing to serve the king, you and I will not escape death. The only way is to capture the emperor alive and hold the emperor to command the princes. In just a few days, my disciples and officials who are all over the world will rise up and respond. Generals who are loyal to me in various armies will also rise up and support me. Therefore, the emperor cannot die! If he dies, you and I will also go to a dead end. Do you understand?"

Zhao Hu nodded with some understanding, and then said anxiously: "Hundreds of imperial guards have just rushed out. The subordinates probably have gone out to bring reinforcements outside the city. The subordinates sent troops to pursue them and killed them, but the leader has disappeared."

"Who is the leader?"

"Fang Zheng."

"Is it him?" Pan Shangshu's expression changed, his eyes narrowed slightly, "He has always had a close relationship with Feng Qiudao of Longwu Army. I guess Fang Zheng is going to find him to help him."

Then Pan Shangshu smiled coldly: "Let him go. When he arrives at the Longwu Army camp, he will know that Feng Qiudao is now crossing the river with a clay Buddha, and he will not be able to protect himself."

Zhao Hu was a little relieved, pulled out his sword with a clang, shouting at the rebel soldiers: "Run again for me! You must rush in for me before dawn!"

"Roar!" The soldier stared at his blood-covered eyes, raised his weapons, and launched another fierce attack on the gate of the front mansion like a tide.

Shence Army Camp.

The prince was sitting leisurely in the handsome tent, looking at a map of the capital with interest. The map had been messy with lines of various colors, and looked like a naughty boy was graffitiing on paper and then thrown away without any interest. However, the prince was enjoying himself, as if he was watching a peerless painting by a famous artist.

Liu Changsheng sat opposite the prince, looking at the prince's gentle and elegant smile, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Liu Changsheng was the leader of the Shence Army. The Shence Army was stationed in a camp less than 70 miles away from the capital.

Pan Shangshu rebelled and the capital was captured by the rebels. Now the rebels have surrounded the palace and the Fang Mansion. Of course, he knows all the information clearly.

He felt very nervous now. Although he had already swore to be loyal to the prince, and now the emperor was trapped in the city, the prince appeared outside his military camp late at night, and ordered him not to act rashly. He was struggling in his heart. It was one thing to swore to be loyal to the prince, but seeing that the emperor was in trouble but could not send troops to rescue him, Liu Changsheng, who had been educated for decades of loyalty to the prince, was still unacceptable.

However, he did not dare to express his worries. He knew better than anyone else about the kind of person the prince was. On the surface, he looked gentle and respectful, but in fact, the prince became vicious. Even the general who had been killed many times and had been killed, couldn't help but feel scared and trembling.

"Does General Liu can't wait?" the prince stared at the map and asked inadvertently.

"I dare not!" Liu Changsheng quickly bowed and replied in panic. He knew that if the prince had doubts about his loyalty, he would definitely not see the sun tomorrow. Sadly, the generals in the Shence Army were not the only one who was loyal to the prince. The prince had firmly grasped the army in his own hands. At best, he was just a puppet that seemed majestic on the surface. There were many such puppets in the Shence Army. His Highness would not mind changing to the position of the general.

"General Liu, don't be afraid, I believe in you alone." The prince smiled gently at Liu Changsheng. If he only looked at his appearance, no one would have to admit that His Highness the Prince would be a kind, generous, smart and wise wise king in the future.

Liu Changsheng felt relieved when he heard this, lowered his head to thank him, and then stood up. He reminded himself in his heart not to speak nonsense, and even his expression and eyes must be controlled well, so that he should not show any concern for the emperor. Otherwise, at this critical moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will eliminate anyone he does not believe in without hesitation.

"The situation is still not very clear." The prince put down the map of the capital that he had studied for a long time and sighed softly.

Liu Changsheng asked tentatively: "Your Highness's meaning is-"

"Wait a minute, if Gu's teacher has not succeeded, and we will rashly raise an army, wouldn't we be a wedding dress for others?" the prince said lightly, "As long as the teacher kills his father, Gu will have sufficient reasons to lead his army into the city, annihilate the rebels, and bury his father's emperor, and then... ascend the throne and become emperor."

Speaking of the four words "Ascending the throne and becoming emperor", a trace of fanatical light flashed in the prince's eyes.

"What should we do if Pan Shangshu captures the emperor alive and uses the emperor to order the princes?"

"Even if the father was captured alive by the orphan teacher, he would not live for too long. The father had been delegating the teacher for several years, how could the orphan be idle?" The prince smiled, with a cold light in his eyes.

"It's a pity that we have too few troops in our hands. Otherwise, if we attack the city at this time, the father and the teacher might not be spared from the swordsmanship. Then the Gu blamed the murder of the father and the teacher on the teacher. Who in the world can say that Gu did something wrong?"

"Your Highness, my Shence army has more than 50,000 people, and the rebels of Shangshu Pan in the city are only 30,000. If they want to annihilate them, these forces seem to be enough..."

"No, even if the rebels are annihilated, the casualties of the Shence Army will definitely be quite large. Can you guarantee that no other army will secretly covet the throne? What if they start a rebellion while my vitality is severely injured?"

The prince sneered: "The mantis stalks the cicada. The orc would always be the oriole. He would never allow others to wait behind the orc to benefit!"

---------------------------------

Among the ruins, Fang Zheng was sleeping with his eyes closed.

He needs to rest. Today's exercise is too great. For him, who knows martial arts and is in modest physical condition, he is already overloaded.

But his mind was not resting, and he was still thinking.

Shangshu Pan was like a vicious and unreasonable casino dealer. He bet the wealth and life of all people in the capital and even the world on the gambling table. He didn't care whether others wanted it or not. He had his eyes red and stared at the dice cup on the gambling table like a madman, ready to make a comeback.

Poor, the young master who is pampered and has to take out the lives of the whole family and accompany the madman to gamble. Before he reveals the result, he must do something to change the seemingly unchangeable result.

He didn't know what the situation in the Fang Mansion was, whether it was captured by the rebels, whether his parents, wife and the emperor were caught by Shangshu Pan. In panic and anxious, Fang Zheng's mind was very fast. He knew that only rationality and calmness could save himself and everyone.

After gently exercising his skills, Fang Zheng had already planned a plan to leave the city. This plan was not open and honest, but only in this way could he maximize his strengths. As for what his strengths were,—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After tidying up his clothes, Fang Zheng searched all over his body and found only a small flying knife used by the killer brother. It was this knife that shot the horse's butt, which almost cost him his life. The armor and sword were too slapping, and Fang Zheng had already thrown them away. Now he was wearing a silk gown dressed as a rich young master, which looked very ordinary, as ordinary as any rich young master in the capital.

As long as he acted his expression a little like a little, no one would believe it. This rich young master with panic and helpless face was the young general who had just led 300 imperial guards to break through the encirclement.

The rebels' shouts came from time to time outside the alley. It seemed that the rebels' search for him had not stopped yet. It was very dangerous to go out now. The rebels were red-eyed in the city, and many civilians were slaughtered for no reason.

Fang Zheng found Kei, washed his face, tidied up his scattered hair, and tried to make himself look like a rich young master who had just woken up.

Then Fang Zheng suppressed the fear in his heart, walked quietly to the entrance of the alley with his waist, poked his head out, and observed the movements on the street.

Finally, a rebel soldier who had fallen into his eyes. The soldier held a knife in his hand and kept pulling it in the grass on the street, cursing in his mouth, not knowing what he was cursing.

Fang Zheng was delighted and quickly sorted out the expression on his face, then rushed to the soldiers in a panic and said in a cringe-and-fear tone: "......Soldier, you, cough, thank you for your hard work!"

The soldier was startled and looked at Fang Zheng with a cautious look. Seeing Fang Zheng wearing a long silk gown, his hair was combed meticulously, and his face was glossy and glossy. He looked at him with a humble and flattering smile on his face. The soldier immediately relaxed his guard slightly. In the chaotic world, life is as cheap as grass. No matter how rich you are, no one dares to be disrespectful to the soldiers in the army. This is the case with the rich young master in front of him.

"What's wrong with you?" The soldier was still very young, only fifteen or sixteen years old. Seeing that the arrogant and arrogant young master was so respectful to him, the soldier couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Fang Zheng smiled very flatteringly and kept bowing to the soldiers, his attitude was as flattering as the turtle man in a brothel who saw the client.

"This military master, are you...uh, are you busy?" Fang Zheng acted like he was chatting with him.

The soldier rolled his eyes and snorted, "What's your business?"

"Hey, my brother, I just want to make friends with Jun Ye. Just tell me. The city is so messy and my family is not at ease. I'll come out to find out the news." As he said that, Fang Zheng stuffed a silver note into the soldier's hands, smiling at him with a flattering face.

The poor soldier has never seen anything like silver bills? When the soldier saw the silver bills in his hands, he couldn't help but feel excited. The other party's attitude was much more enthusiastic: "It's not your family's business. We are just ordered to find someone nearby. If we find us, we will leave. We will not disturb you. As long as you stay at home, don't run around, there will be no trouble."

Fang Zheng said with a puzzled look: "Oh? Who are you looking for? Tell me, let me see if I can help."

The soldier did not doubt that he was, and said casually: "Look for a young man in armor, damn it! The brothers worked hard for more than half an hour, but the ghosts were not found!"

"Oh, was that young man wearing brown armor and was hit with a lot of arrows behind the armor?"

The soldier was overjoyed when he heard this, pressed Fang Zheng's shoulder and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Did he ride a dark horse?"

“Yes, yes.”

"Is he still holding a blood-stained knife in his hand?"

"Yes, yes, do you know where he is?" the soldier was excited and stared at Fang Zheng with his eyes glowing.

Fang Zheng spread his hands innocently: "I don't know."

"You... are you fucking me?" The soldier was furious and pointed his backhand at Fang Zheng with a knife. He turned his back against him faster than flipping a book, as if he had completely forgotten that Fang Zheng had stuffed him a silver note just now.

Fang Zheng's face suddenly changed, his body trembled involuntarily, his lips began to tremble constantly, and he said with a pale face: "Mr. Jun, please spare me, please spare me! I really don't know. I did see such a person lying on a broken wall just now. The man seemed to have suffered serious injuries, but in the blink of an eye, the man disappeared again, so I really don't know where he is now..."

The soldier said happily: "Wait, I'll call my brothers, you can take us to that place to see..."

Seeing Fang Zheng look at him with an idiot's look, the soldier couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong?"

Fang Zheng shook his head and sighed, "Although I have never been a soldier, I know that it is difficult to make merits and promote merits in the army. You should be fine. The merits sent to the door are out. A person who was seriously injured and had no ability to resist was lying there waiting for you to arrest him. You also asked other brothers to go together, for fear that the merits would not be divided enough, right? Tsk tsk..."

After saying that, Fang Zheng looked at the soldier with a sarcastic look, as if mocking him for being timid and afraid of death.

The soldier was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was in his prime. How could he be so excited?

"Let's go, you lead the way, let's go together! I don't believe that he can chew my bird!" The soldier grabbed Fang Zheng's arm and walked into the alley.

"Oh, this man, please be gentle... Don't worry, if you dare to make a promise, he has absolutely no interest in your precious bird..."

“…………”

A stick of incense passed, and a person walked out of the alley. He was wearing the armor of a rebel soldier, with a thief smile on his face, and his eyes were spinning, as if he was always having some bad idea.

This person was Fang Zheng. After tricking the rebel soldier who was young and energetic, Fang Zheng accidentally took out the wooden stick that had been prepared, knocked him out with a stick, then peeled off his armor, waist card and sword, and walked onto the street with a big swagger.

While walking, he greeted the rebels passing by: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers! After the matter is done, let's go grab a few beautiful ladies and have fun all night."

But his hands kept scratching and scratching his body, damn it! Why is itchy? How long has the boy been knocked out of the air for a long time? How can such an unhygienic army have the nerve to rebel? Are you not afraid of jokes? ——By the way, this boy has no disease, right? If he gets it, it will be bad...

"Hey, stop! Who are you? What are you doing here alone? Who is your leader?" A thick voice called out Fang Zheng.

Other rebels were patrolling the city in groups. Only Fang Zheng was wearing the armor of ordinary soldiers, walking around alone, no wonder others suspected it.

Fang Zheng was shocked and turned around and saw a person who looked like a captain and officer, looking at him in confusion.

Fang Zheng quickly walked up to him, lowered his head and fist and said respectfully: "Report to the master, the third squad of soldiers under the command of Yong's camp, named Liu Dazhu. The brothers were fighting outside the city's mansion, but were dispersed by the enemy's cavalry. Biaoxia was looking for them..."

Fortunately, Fang Zheng had seen the bad luck soldier's waist card, otherwise it would have been bad.

"Are you Liu Dazhu?" The captain officer looked at him in surprise, and then sneered: "Do you know who I am?"

Fang Zheng was shocked again. This man's tone didn't sound very good. Could it be that these two people knew each other?

Fang Zhengwei said: "This general, did you get hurt when you were fighting? You don't know who you are, and you don't know if you are..."

Seeing that the captain's face became increasingly ugly, Fang Zheng quickly smiled and said, "Although Biaoxia doesn't know who you are, you are sure that you are definitely not a mortal. Look at your appearance, you will definitely be a general who holds heavy troops and occupies the world in the future. Biaoxia is not talented and is willing to work hard for the general..."
