Chapter 271: If you persist in a stalemate, you will be punished with small punishments and big war

Chapter 271: If you remain in a stalemate, you will receive small punishments and big warnings.

Lu Qingyan looked at Su Nanjin in astonishment, suddenly a little confused, how could he follow such a reckless man? I just said so much, could it be that he didn't understand it at all, or couldn't understand it at all?

After being stunned for a moment, he could only smile bitterly and said, "Sir, you have seen the situation in this mansion. There are so many people guarding outside Governor Qu's house. We have not been able to enter Prince Qu's room until now. In this mansion, There are so many servants who are not afraid of death. Once the news spreads outside, it will be a chaos! Whether we can return with all our lives is unknown. Do you want to take such a risk for the sake of the Qu family? "

Su Nanjin's face changed slightly, and she sneered, "It's just four to five hundred ordinary soldiers, plus some mobs. Is it possible that we, a thousand elite soldiers, are still afraid of them?"

Lu Qingyan sighed, "Young Master, the high wall outside the mansion is now filled with people from Xizhou holding bows and arrows. If a melee breaks out, the Young Master knows what will happen if the arrows are fired at random. Besides, that person Cudi, how do you plan to deal with the young master? Since she has guessed the two incidents of Xingxi and Death and horse thieves, once she is angered and reports these to the court, the matter will be out of control. Your Majesty is lenient. Wang Wendu and Wang Wendu back then Cheng Zhijie could avoid death and come back from the dead, and most likely he would not start killing people because of the death of Xing Xi. However, if he was involved in the serious crimes of the Qu family and his son, the bloodbath in Xizhou, and the horse thieves who robbed the army, I am afraid that the Holy Emperor would not show mercy. But if you kill her, please think about it. The Holy Emperor may be able to hide it, but how can the Queen let it go? With her methods, even the Su clan may not be able to be saved!"

The current queen... Su Nanjin felt a chill behind her. Three or four years ago, when the imperial court used iron-blooded methods to purge the remnants of Changsun Wuji's party, how could he forget the fear and suffering during those days? Finally, with the appointment of the Grand Protector, the haze disappeared, and my father and I had the confidence to settle accounts with these **** guys and set up a trap that would allow them to "accidentally" die in the flames of war. But now If he offends the queen in such a situation... He was silent for a moment, and his voice became sharp, "Then what do you think?"

Lu Qingyan already had some ideas in mind, and whispered, "Master, don't worry, now that Xizhou City Gate and the government office are under our control, we might as well keep the Qu family and his son and Pei Xingjian in the government office." , Don’t move for the moment. Young Master, don’t forget that the Xingxi Death Khan did send troops to help the Qu family. Now the remnants of the Xingxi Death have either rebelled or fled. Who knows if someone will come to Xizhou to report the news? , as long as these people are captured, the Qu family and his son will be guilty! Furthermore, those high-ranking officials in Xizhou are well aware of the current affairs, and the young master can show them power and induce them to gain benefits. If you come forward to surrender, why worry about not being able to overthrow the Qu family? Even if you can't take action at this moment, how can this small town in Xizhou resist to the end when the Dadu protector pacifies the remnants of Wudu Lu and returns to the army? "

"As for the Kudi family, as long as we have evidence that Pei Xingjian participated in the rebellion, in exchange for her temporary peace, she would not dare to disobey her. When the Qu family and his son fall, Pei Xingjian will be nothing more than a mere official. We have our own way. Manipulate him!"

Su Nanjin's expression changed, and after pondering for a long time, she finally nodded, "That's fine, let them live for a few more days!"

Lu Qingyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "The top priority now is to guard the door well. Xizhou city gate is allowed in but not out, and people must not be allowed in or out of the front and rear gates of the government office; secondly, we must send a few articulate people. He went to Yizhou and Tingzhou to convey military orders, lest anyone get wind of the incident and ruin the plan. "

Su Nanjin nodded casually, "There's no harm in passing on a message. Governor Xiao from Yizhou was originally afraid of trouble. As for Laiji from Tingzhou, it's lucky that he can survive to this day. Is it possible that he still dares to come forward? Is he afraid that the Queen will think of it? Is he still alive?"

After the two people had finished their discussion, Lu Qingyan turned around and ordered the more than a hundred soldiers who had entered the mansion to slightly reduce the number of people surrounding the main hall and the east side hall of the Governor's Mansion. As long as no idlers were allowed to enter or leave, the front and rear gates Then extra manpower will be sent to guard it, and internal and external news must be isolated. After everything was arranged, Su Nanjin was still standing there with a gloomy expression, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Master Lu, let's go have some lunch first. After lunch, we will call on the best soldiers to follow me. Go to the side hall, let’s meet Prince Qu and Pei Changshi again!”

  …………

Seeing that there was another group of soldiers guarding the gate, there was a burst of noise outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion. I saw that the high walls on both sides of the long street were already filled with Xizhou men carrying bows and arrows. The leaders were suddenly replaced by several lieutenants from the Xizhou Mansion Army. The faces of the more than 600 Yizhou frontier troops who surrounded the Dudu Mansion had somewhat changed their colors. Even though they were considered the elite of the Tang army, they were still frightened when hundreds of bows and arrows were pointed at them condescendingly. More and more strong men with swords and guns joined the ranks of the soldiers, and the strength of the two sides was not far apart.

The regiment was giving instructions under the wall, then turned around and came to Liuli and the others, clasping hands and saying, "Madams, please go back and have a rest. I will leave this place to you. Madam, don't worry, we will never let the thieves succeed!"

Liuli looked at the door that was guarded by layers of guards, the smile on her face had long since disappeared, and she nodded when she heard this, "It's time for Tuan Zheng, but the situation is uncertain at the moment, Tuan Zheng still needs to restrain his subordinates, and don't start conflicts in vain. "

Tuan Zheng's expression was solemn, "Excuse me, the governor, the prince, and the chief minister are all still trapped in the house. I will definitely not act rashly unless it is absolutely necessary."

Liuli's eyes were still fixed on the door. Pei Xingjian and the others might not know that something happened to Khan Xingxide, nor did they know that this was the situation outside. The people outside the door didn't know what to do next... She I couldn't help but whispered, "Tuanzheng, I wonder if you have any way to send a message?"

Tuan Zheng shook his head and said, "I have already tried it. There are people guarding the walls of the Governor's Mansion. I'm afraid not even a mosquito can fly in."

Liuli couldn't help but sigh, and turned to look at Yunyi and Fengpiaopiao, "Let's go back first."

Yunyi shook her head vigorously without hesitation, "I won't go back, I will wait here, and I won't leave until Yulang comes out!"

Feng Piaopiao had been holding Yunyi's hand tightly to prevent her from talking and moving. Now he hurriedly held her arm, "Yunniang, it's useless for you to wait here. Let's send more people to guard this place." If there is any news, it will come back, so why do you have to guard it yourself? "

Tuan Zheng also smiled and hugged his hands, "Madam, it's better to go back first. You guys are here, but I am waiting to tie up our hands and feet."

Yun Yi looked stubborn and just shook his head. Feng Piaopiao tried to persuade her again, but Liuli sighed, "Yunyi, you can stay on guard, just don't cause trouble." Then he turned to look at Feng Piaopiao, "Piaopiao, do you want to know what happened? What a big deal this is, why did Su and his son send people here? What kind of charges did they put on the governor and the prince? "

Feng Piaopiao was stunned for a moment, and Yunyi almost jumped up, "Sister, do you know?"

Liuli nodded, still looking at Feng Piaopiao, "This is not the place to talk. I'll tell you when I get back." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Feng Piaopiao glanced at Yunyi, twitched the corner of her mouth, and hurriedly held it back, let go of her hand, and said softly, "Wait here for now, and I'll tell you later." After that, he quickened his pace and followed her. Liuli.

Yun Yi looked at the door, then at the backs of the two of them, with hesitation on his face, and finally stamped his feet to catch up.

The three of them had just walked not far when a maid next to Feng Piaopiao appeared out of nowhere and whispered back, "Madam, I have found out clearly. Now there are two hundred people guarding the city gate. There were about a hundred people in the Dudu's Mansion, and about six or seven hundred outside. There was also a group of more than thirty people who surrounded the Shizi Mansion, but they couldn't get in. The other two were Pei Zhai from Qushui Fang and Luoyang Fang. There are more than a dozen people guarding the entrance of Su Mansion."

 Feng Piaopiao nodded slightly, "Has the news of the changes in the city spread outside the city?"

The maid said softly, "Our people shot urgent messages to several places below the city. If nothing happens, hundreds of troops will arrive tonight, and soldiers from various counties and cities will also arrive tomorrow."

Feng Piaopiao nodded silently. She had followed Qu Chongyu for many years. Although she had been away from Xizhou in the past few years, the prince and everyone in Wang Ming's mansion were now trapped in the governor's mansion, and she was the only one who could take over these affairs. Thinking of the current situation, she couldn't help but frown deeply. She thought for a while and said to Liuli, "There are soldiers guarding Qushui Fang now. Why not go to my house? There are all the things there, and we can communicate with each other." Also convenient.”

Liuli had no objection. The three of them arrived at the small house near the market. Yun Yi pulled Liuli as soon as he entered the door, "Sister, what happened today?"

Liuli sighed, "If my guess is correct, Su Haizheng has killed the Xingxi dead Khan, and now he wants to frame them in colluding with the Khan to rebel. Piao Piao, did you know any news about Fang Lie before you came?"

As soon as these words came out, both Feng Piaopiao and Yunyi stayed there. Yunyi shook his head after a long while, "Absolutely impossible! How prestigious is the Xingxide Khan in Western Xinjiang? How could Su Haizheng kill him? How dare he kill him? ?”

Feng Piaopiao looked at Liuli blankly, then suddenly covered her forehead and sighed, "No wonder the chief clerk asked which tribe Yun Niang was from. It turned out to be the case! Madam, don't worry, I heard Niang Liu say before coming here, Mr. Fang will not go on the expedition with the Khan this time. I think Chang Shi has made arrangements for him, so he should be fine. I just don’t know if the prince and the others already know about this?"

Liuli shook his head and said nothing. They probably don’t know yet, right?

Yunyi suddenly screamed and jumped up, "Those people dare to kill even Khan, Yulang, Yulang..." She turned around and was about to rush out, but Feng Piaopiao grabbed her and said, "You go there." What’s the use!”

Liuli couldn't help but shouted, "Yun Yi, what time has it been, and you are still messing around! There are so many people guarding outside. If Su Nanjin doesn't want to risk her life in Xizhou City, she definitely doesn't dare to do anything to the prince. Now The most important thing is how to get the news from the outside in and find out the situation inside. If you have time to guard the door, you might as well come up with a solution together with us! "

She rarely spoke to Yunyi in such a stern voice. Yunyi could not help but be stunned and slowly lowered her head, "What can I think of?"

Liuli frowned. The Governor's Mansion was so heavily guarded. It was not easy to deliver the news! While he was in a trance, he heard Feng Piaopiao whispering in his ear, "I remembered that there is a person who may be able to enter that yard."      …

The Su Mansion in Luoyang Square used to be one of the liveliest places in the square, but these days it has been extremely cold. On weekdays, almost no one even stops at the door. At this time, on both sides of the ebony gate, there were more than a dozen soldiers with bright armor standing on Yanchi. Although the number was not large, the momentum was eye-catching. Pedestrians passing by all took a few glances, but they stayed far away. , even when passing by, you have to avoid some.

Therefore, when Liuli, Yunyi and Feng Piaopiao walked to the door with two maids, the leading team officer couldn't help but be surprised, took a step forward and shouted, "Who is coming?"

Xiaomi who was behind Liuli hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "My wife is Mrs. Zhang's sister-in-law. This is Mrs. Ashina and Mrs. Feng. Please go and report to Mrs. Zhang and tell her that my wife has something important to discuss with Mrs. Zhang."

The deputy of the team looked at several people suspiciously, but finally nodded to a soldier. Seeing him walking in quickly, he said calmly, "Please wait a moment."

Not long after, the soldier came out and said, "Madam, let you in!"

Yunyi couldn't help but frown. Liuli pulled her, nodded with a smile, and followed the soldier through the front yard. When they arrived at the door of the inner yard, they changed to a maid and took them to the steps of the upper room. They looked arrogantly. A few people glanced at each other and said, "You guys wait here first!"

Yun Yi couldn't help but said, "You..." but Feng Piaopiao held her hand tightly.

Yunyi frowned and looked at Liuli and Fengpianpiao, remembering that they had been muttering behind her back for a while and struggling for a long time, but they refused to explain to herself. She couldn't help but feel even more depressed. She just thought of Liuli's threat, "If you don't listen to me, I won’t take you there.” He could only say “hum” and pouted dissatisfiedly.

After a long while, a cold voice came from the door, "Come in."

Liuli and Feng Piaopiao looked at each other, walked up the steps, opened the curtain and went in, only to see Zhang Minniang sitting on the couch in the west of the outer room, only wearing homely clothes, her hair tied loosely, and she didn't stand up when she saw a few people. He just smiled faintly and said, "These are really rare guests. It's a great honor to come to this humble house. It's just that I was having lunch just now and it's hard to meet. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Nana, please sit down."

The maid behind Zhang Minniang took a step forward and moved to the mat on the east side. "Ladies, please sit down."

 He sat in the honorable position and arranged for them to sit in the lowest position... Yun Yi glanced at Zhang Minniang coldly and sat down without saying a word. Liuli and Feng Piaopiao also sat down as if nothing had happened. The room was almost eerily quiet for a moment.

 Zhang Minniang waited for a long time, but she didn't see any of them speaking. She glanced at their faces, Liuli and Fengpiaopiao were fine, but Yunyi looked obviously depressed and angry, but she stared at the case in front of her in anger and said nothing. She couldn't help but laugh, "To be honest, this is my first time back to my humble abode, but I don't know what you are doing today."

Liuli raised her head and spoke in a gentle tone, "Miniang Min, I might as well tell you directly that today your husband led people to surround the Governor's Mansion. Your elder brother and the prince are all in the mansion now, and they don't know what's going on. So, for the sake of brother and sister's sake, I want you to ask Mr. Su what's going on and when will they come out?"

 She really came here to seek help from herself, but what she said was so vulgar! Could it be possible that she really thought she was her sister-in-law? Zhang Minniang covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister-in-law is so confused, how can I know about these men? I just heard vaguely, are they going to capture the traitor's accomplices this time? Rebel, this But it’s a fatal sin, maybe someone’s head is already dead at this moment…”

Yunyi couldn't bear it any longer, raised her head and said angrily, "Who is the traitor? Who will be killed? What are you talking about?"

Zhang Minniang looked at Yun Yi's anxious and angry look, and felt as relieved as drinking a glass of ice cream on a summer day, "Yes, yes, yes, Yun Niang is right, I'm talking nonsense, anyway, these counterarguments What does the thief have to do with me? If you don’t like to hear this, I will ask my maid to send you out."

Looking at Yun Yi's flushed face, something seemed to rush out of her heart. She couldn't help but smile sweetly and added, "If you go late, what if you don't have time to collect the body? Well, what will happen?" good?"

Yunyi was furious and stood up. Fengpiaopiao stood up and grabbed her. Yunyi said angrily, "Listen to what **** words she said!"

 Zhang Minniang smiled and said, "What did I say something stupid? Do you need to be so anxious?"

Liuli stood up unhurriedly, waved her hand to stop Yunyi, walked a few steps to Zhang Minniang's table, looked at her and sighed, "Minniang, what did you say just now? Collect the corpse? That's it. Can you talk nonsense?"

 Zhang Minniang raised her eyebrows casually, "I probably made a mistake. I just don't know what you are afraid of, and what are you doing here?"

Liuli's face darkened, "Pei Changshi is your adopted brother after all. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being angry!"

 Zhang Minniang raised her face and looked at her, thinking in her heart, these vulgar women are so ridiculous even when asking for help! There was a hint of provocation in her smile, "Really? Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if you annoy me, but my step-brother's life or death is still uncertain, so I'd better save my energy in case my step-brother has any luck..."

Before she finished speaking, her vision suddenly blurred, and then there was a loud "buzzing" sound in her ears. A strong force caused her face to tilt, and then she felt a burning pain.

Liuli actually slapped her **** the face.

Zhang Minniang raised her head suddenly, and just when she opened her mouth, Liuli slapped her again with her backhand, this time with greater force, causing her whole body to turn away.

Nana behind Zhang Minniang screamed "Ah" and jumped over and was about to pounce on Liuli. Feng Piaopiao, who had already quickly grabbed her, grabbed her wrist with quick eyes and twisted it gently. He turned her back and said with a smile, "You'd better be more knowledgeable."

Zhang Minniang covered her face and slowly raised her head. She felt numb with pain on both sides of her face, and her heart was in confusion. She looked at Liuli in disbelief, but saw Liuli looking at her indifferently. After a while, she sighed. , "Min Niang, do you know you were wrong? Do you remember why I taught you a lesson?"

 Zhang Minniang felt a breath rushing up her throat and almost fainted.

The other two maids in the room were already scared to death. They had grown up in high schools and had seen all kinds of dirty things. But when this female guest came to the door, she slapped her master directly. They didn't say anything. I had never seen them before, and I had never even thought about it. At this moment, I looked at the two women standing there with nonchalant expressions on their faces. When I came to my senses, I wanted to run out, but I saw that the two maids of the other party were already blocking the door.

 Zhang Minniang closed her eyes, and when she spoke, her voice trembled so much that she could hardly speak intonation, "Okay, Sister-in-law, I remember it. Sister-in-law's lesson will never be forgotten in this life. One day, I will repay you twice as much!"

Liuli looked at her lightly, "You can't pay it back, Min Niang, and you won't be able to pay it back in this life. But since you know you were wrong, you should apologize, otherwise..." She looked down at her palms, her voice full of He was helpless and said, "You also know that teaching someone a lesson makes your hands hurt."

Hey, I'm working hard today. Praise me with the guaranteed pink color. You will see that I continue to work hard! Tomorrow's update will probably be at noon, so I'll work hard to write it down. Liuli slaps Min Niang with a big slap in the face. It’s cool. If everyone slaps me with pink, I will also feel happy...
