From the moment He Shen heard the news, within a few breaths, he was already a big man. He ordered the man in blue to help him remove his armor, and saw that his underwear was already soaked with sweat. He didn't know whether it was because of listening to it.
After hearing the news, I was frightened. The armor I wore was too thick and tiring.
Li Kexiu pondered for a moment and said to Su Yang: "Since the emperor has been kidnapped, naturally he cannot come here. You can leave. I will let the officers and soldiers outside make way. Wen Tailai cannot be taken away."
Compared with Heshen, Li Kexiu seemed much calmer, but Su Yang knew clearly in his heart that this guy probably thought that the "emperor's kidnapping" was a drama arranged by Heshen, and the purpose was to force him away. After all, the emperor was surrounded by experts.
, and the Ouchi guards are secretly protecting him in plainclothes. Even if he encounters a large group of people, it is possible to be surrounded. If he is kidnapped, it would be too sensational.
But He Shen knew that it was not a lie. The emperor had told him where he had gone. In fact, it was he who came up with this bad idea.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Su, I have decided on this matter. You can take me away and we won't stop you!"
"How is this possible!" Li Kexiu said angrily.
A stern look flashed in He Shen's eyes, and he said with a serious face: "Master Li, I am the minister in charge of the bodyguards. The emperor is not here. I have my own arrangements for all matters in the palace. Just keep your duty and obey orders!"
He Shen usually smiles when he meets everyone, but this outburst was full of majesty, and there was also an indescribable gloomy and sinister flavor in the solemn and majestic power. He suddenly changed from a favored clown to a hand-in-hand.
Even Li Kexiu, a serious military attaché, who was in charge of the life and death of the important ministers of the country, subconsciously took a step back. It seemed that he was suppressed.
In the official system of the Qing Dynasty, the admiral was of the first rank, only half a rank lower than the minister in charge of the bodyguard. However, the foreign minister was naturally one level lower than the official in the capital. Moreover, the admiral was only in charge of the troops in one area of the country, while the minister in charge of the bodyguard was in charge of the capital.
An Wei, to a certain extent, held the emperor's life in his hands, and was the emperor's absolute confidant. Even the governor and other frontier officials had to fawn over him. There was a difference between the superior and the inferior.
Although Li Kexiu didn't know much about Wen Tailai, he vaguely guessed that this person was not as simple as the leader of the Red Flower Society. He gritted his teeth. In a serious manner, using the etiquette of a Manchu subordinate referring to his superiors, he knelt down.
He knelt down and said: "Master He, if this person leaves and the emperor comes back, I am afraid that you and I will all die..."
"How presumptuous! You, a little admiral, have no right to speak in front of me." He Shen interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and shouted to the door: "Forward camp, the guards in the palace are listening to orders! All retreat, without my order.
No one is allowed to go into battle without permission, and anyone who violates this rule will be killed immediately."
The courtyard was filled with the imperial guardsmen he had brought from Beijing. They all shouted in unison. They knelt all over the courtyard, led by several commanders. In the blink of an eye, they exited the courtyard like a tide.
"Sir!" Li Kexiu's neck turned red and she still wanted to distinguish.
"The emperor is not in the palace, and I, the minister, are acting on behalf of heaven. I have the king's flag in my hand. I can remove you from your official position and take your head!"
He Shen's tone slowed down slightly and said: "But considering that you have led troops for many years and are quite familiar with the military, now is the time to use you. Let your people disperse and assemble the green camp, ready to set off at any time, and
I will go rescue the emperor, and later I will tell the emperor your contribution to protecting the Lord and rescuing him today."
Seeing that He Shen had even brought out the King's Order flag, and was about to take action, Li Kexiu realized what the role of Mr. He, who usually drank and chatted with him and smiled all day long, was the first- and second-grade officer who died under him.
There were more than one or two governors and governors who were dismissed by him, and it would be nothing if he had one more admiral.
There was no need to weigh the choice between dying in the future and dying now. Li Kexiu could only accept the order, turned around and left the room to make arrangements.
The courtyard that was filled with murderous intent just now became quiet for a moment, and only Su Yang Wentilai and He Shen were left.
Seeing that everyone was gone, He Shen sighed and went to close the doors and windows of the room.
"Master He is so majestic and domineering. He uses kindness and power at the same time. With just a few words, he can manage a high-ranking official from the first rank to be obedient. He is more powerful than us Jianghu people. I admire you." Su Yang gave a thumbs up.
He Shen suddenly turned around, knelt down in front of Su Yang, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"What are you doing?" Su Yang had already guessed it, but he asked knowingly.
"Brother Su, please, for the sake of letting you go at the risk of beheading me, please follow me to save the emperor!" He Shen said in admiration.
In fact, he didn't need to tell Su Yang to go to the Liuhe Pagoda. Although Qianlong was not as good as the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, he was very fond of meritorious service and could not achieve military success, but just from the perspective of the emperor's profession, as an emperor, he was definitely better than the emperor.
Chen Jialuo is suitable to be the emperor.
The profession of emperor does not mean that one must be kind, pure, fair and righteous.
In fact, even if he doesn't save him, the emperor will come back in two days, but Honghua will be stupid, and he is not stupid.
And since he wants something from himself, he must put on enough airs.
"How can I save it? Each of the fourteen heads of the Red Flower Society has their own unique skills. Besides, there are so many people in the society that I can't help you. But you have two thousand royal guards, tens of thousands of green camps, and countless warriors. When the heavenly soldiers come out,
Punishment is bound to come, and those bandits from the Red Flower Society will not immediately fall apart and kneel down to beg for mercy."
He Shen said bitterly: "Brother Su, please don't make fun of me. The emperor is in their hands. Even if we have millions of troops, it is useless. I have heard Bai Zhen say that Brother Su is so good at martial arts that he will never be the third person in this world."
The two of them thought, and I have seen with my own eyes that we need Brother Su's help in this battle."
Before Su Yang could say the following words, He Shen suddenly raised his head and stood up, winked at Su Yang, and whispered: "Mr. Su, if we can't talk secretly, how can we compare with the friendship over wine? Let him go."
I know that love is useless, so be honest, what do you want?"
"What do you have?" Su Yang asked with a smile.
He Shen pulled Su Yang aside and said cruelly: "The Emperor cannot know about this. Hongdingzi below the second grade, tea, salt and iron in several wealthy provinces are in short supply, and there is a silver of less than five million. These brothers
I can do it with just one sentence. If you want to be knighted, I can also find a way to get it for you as a third-class uncle."
Wen Tailai had been listening with his ears pricked up for a long time. When he heard this, he said angrily: "Brother Su, don't listen to his random promises. Besides, how can we, the sons and daughters of Jianghu, covet the Tatars' rewards and charity!"
Su Yang patted He Shen on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Master He can stretch and bend, and assess the situation. He is indeed a hero of the generation. I have helped him. I also want the money, the official position, and of course the title.
"
"It's a deal!" He Shen was overjoyed. But Wen Tailai over there was already angry and hit He Shen with a heavy fist.
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother Wen, it's not what you think. Just take a rest."
Su Yang raised his palm to block Wen Tailai's fist. The palm of his hand sank slightly, and the strength of his fist was removed by turning his wrist. Then his left palm touched the back of his neck. Wen Tailai fainted.
........
He followed He Shen out of the Admiral's Mansion. As expected, no soldiers came to stop him along the way, but he saw a group of Qing soldiers running past the gate of the Admiral's Mansion, including those from the Green Camp and the Eight Banners Royal Forest, all heading towards the Sixth Formation by the West Lake.
They rushed towards Heta.
After agreeing to He Shen's rescue, his title also changed. He was in his thirties this year and was older than Su Yang, but he called Su Yang "brother". At this time, he brought two horses and said:
"The Emperor is at the top of Liuhe Pagoda. Brother Su, please hurry up!"
"You don't have to ride a horse. You close your eyes." Su Yang grabbed He Shen and carried Wen Tailai in one hand. He performed a thousand-mile kung fu and ran towards the Liuhe Pagoda like the wind. On the way, the soldiers saw He Shen passing through the high official.
I didn't dare to shoot arrows anymore.
He Shen really closed his eyes, feeling light all over, and the wind was whistling in his ears. He knew that this was Su Yang using Qing Kung to lead him away. Although he felt at ease, he was also secretly surprised. This man's martial arts was better than he had imagined.
It's better to be high. Fortunately, we are friends rather than enemies for the time being. From this point of view, we will have to win over him in the future. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for him to kill the emperor if he is unhappy that day. If the emperor passes away, let alone anything else, I, as a leader, will
First of all, the minister of the bodyguard will be in bad luck. Moreover, in order to show his loyalty to the emperor in recent years, he has offended many local officials, including many of the prince's servants. If it were a different emperor, it would be a matter of two things whether I could hold on to my life.
Say, let alone glory and wealth.
His thoughts were far-reaching, and he even began to consider tricking Qianlong into issuing an order to confer on Suyang a super honorary title such as the 'Great Immortal Master from Heaven to Protect the Country'.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly stopped. When I opened my eyes, I was at the foot of Liuhe Pagoda in West Lake.
The Manchu and Qing official armies still had fighting strength at this time and were not as weak as they were in the late period. Soon after Su Yang arrived, a large group of green battalions and forward battalions came from a distance. There were probably as many as four to five thousand people. Arrows
At Xian, the sword was unsheathed and the Liuhe Pagoda was surrounded by water. There were also large and small warships on the lake to seal the lake, and the people were not allowed to approach.
At this time, Wen Tailai had woken up. When he saw Su Yang and He Shen standing together, he thought Su Yang had defected to the court and immediately cursed.
His internal strength was not weak, and his curses were full of anger. Someone in the tower immediately heard him and poked his head out.
"Come on, the Manchu and Qing officers and soldiers are here. Brothers, there are some good fights today." The man laughed loudly.
Just then I saw a figure flash out from the top window of Liuhe Pagoda. The person was in mid-air, with his toes a little on the edge of the tower. He suddenly jumped up three feet, raised his hand to catch the eaves on the top of the tower, and rushed up to Liuhe Pagoda like an ape.
At the top, with feet on the top of the tower, standing in the wind, with his long gown fluttering in the wind, and a handsome face, he is none other than Chen Jialuo, the chief helmsman of the Red Flower Club.
"No wonder the little girls can't walk when they see him, he's so good at posing!" Su Yang looked at He Shen, he and he were both handsome men, and when compared with Chen Jialuo, they immediately eclipsed him.
"Brother Su, you defected to the Manchus and became slaves to foreigners! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the heroes of the world?" Chen Jialuo said righteously.
What a beautiful young man full of kindness and grace.
Li Kexiu rode a horse, walked out from the crowd, and said loudly: "The traitors of the Red Flower Society heard clearly, there are six thousand people and horses under the tower now, no matter how hard you put your wings on, you can't fly out, please tie yourself up and apologize, or
You can avoid death."
Su Yang almost laughed. Why did Li Kexiu just say a few words? When he was surrounded, he couldn't fly, tied himself up to plead guilty, etc. Could it be that the Qing Dynasty had a training class for persuading surrender, and he was an old teacher?
The standard routines handed over will not be anything new.
In response to his words, the officers and soldiers under the tower said "hey hey hey" three times in unison and took three steps forward. Thousands of people walked in quite neat steps, and their momentum was really amazing.
The man who had just spoken in the tower showed his head again and laughed: "Why should we be afraid of six thousand soldiers and horses? You must know that there are more than tens of thousands of Han people in the world today. How can we be afraid of a foreigner like you?" He was lucky!
He shouted loudly: "The chief rudder of the Red Flower Club is here, brothers, come and see us!"
At the same time, Chen Jialuo took out a bright red flower and pinned it on his chest. The red flower was the size of a large ocean bowl. It was made of gold wire and red velvet. The flower was lined with green leaves and inlaid with gems.
Shining brightly below.
That is the symbol of the chief rudder of the Red Flower Society, just like the handsome flag in the army.
Suddenly, there were thunderous shouts among the mountains in the distance, countless flags were fluttering, and dust filled the sky. It was unknown how many people from the Red Flower Society were ambushing them.
The soldiers from the Banner Camp and the Green Camp were lined up neatly, but suddenly a large number of soldiers rushed out from the ranks. The commander of the soldiers shouted loudly and could not restrain themselves. The soldiers ran to a dozen feet in front of the Liuhe Pagoda before stopping.
, crossed his hands on his chest, bent down towards Chen Jialuo on the top of the tower, and performed the grand ceremony of paying homage to the leader in the Red Flower Meeting.
Chen Jialuo raised his hand to return the salute. After the soldiers finished saluting, they ran back to the team. Behind them, there were more soldiers running to salute. They came and went, and it took a while to finish.
It turned out that the Red Flower Society was very powerful in the south of the Yangtze River, and many soldiers from the Banner Camp and the Green Camp were introduced to the society. There were especially many Han soldiers in the Han Banner and Green Camp.
Only the Xiaoqi Battalion, the forward battalion brought by He Shen from Beijing, was left unattended. However, when encountering such a sudden change, they were a little panicked. The officers leading the team were not allowed to give He Shen's orders and did not dare to suppress them rashly.
He Shen was shocked to see how many people were ambushed in the mountains and fields, and so many people from the army came out to salute Chen Jialuo. If force was used, even though the Imperial Forest Army battalions came from Beijing, their loyalty could be relied on, and the camp also
There was no Red Flower Society member, and he could direct the movement, but no matter what, it was difficult to predict the victory, and the emperor was in a dangerous situation, so he thought he would do well and give up, so he only said coldly to Li Kexiu: "You have led good soldiers!"
At this time, Li Kexiu could no longer sit still on the horse. He rolled and fell to the ground, his face turned ashen.
The man from before laughed loudly on the top of the tower and said: "If we are to fight with swordsmen, although we, the Red Flower Club, dare not say that we are sure of victory, I am afraid that we will not be able to tell the winner in a few days. The battle will not be over by then, you guys."
The master might starve to death in the tower first."
He Shen looked at Su Yang with a pleading look on his face, and when he saw Su Yang nodded slightly, he boldly said loudly: "Then what do you want?"
The man replied: "We are from the Jianghu. Naturally, according to the rules of the Jianghu, this tower has a total of thirteen floors. Each floor is guarded by our people. The person you want is on the thirteenth floor. If there are experts in the court,
If he can reach the thirteenth floor in a row, we will naturally let him go."
He Shen said loudly: "Okay, but you must not embarrass my master."
The man on the tower said hello and retracted his head. Chen Jialuo, who had been standing on the top of the tower, was finally free from the wind and sun and got back into the tower.
Su Yang looked at the Liuhe Pagoda. Honghuahui thought that he had defected to the Manchus, but he still dared to call for help. He was afraid that some powerful help would come.
