Only one day later, Zhao Hongrun returned to the Anling County government office again.
When he placed Wang Ting's head in front of Zhao Laiyu, Zhao Laiyu gasped in surprise and glanced at Zhao Hongrun with a strange look.
That look seemed to say: Have you messed up again?
"Ah, I screwed up again."
He sighed helplessly, and Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly and said: "That Huan Hu is more... tempered than I thought. He killed the hostage at the slightest disagreement, and I didn't even react..."
Zhao Laiyu looked at Zhao Hongrun dumbfounded. After listening to the latter quietly telling what happened, he shook his head repeatedly and couldn't help but said: "Hongrun, I'm not telling you, your character is just too irritable. Like Huan Hu
Those thugs should be attacked slowly and not impatiently... He
If you want to seal a city, just give him a piece of it, and you don’t need to pay. You can talk to Wang Yu about this matter, and Wang Yu will solve it himself... If you say, throw Huan Hu to Shangdang, no matter whether he has any relationship with the Wang family
Fight to the death, it is true as he said, help me, the Wei Dynasty, to attack South Korea, and there will be no loss to you."
Zhao Hongrun was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said seriously: "Huan Hu is not a simple person... I will not sit back and watch the second 'Nangong' appear."
Hearing this, Zhao Laiyu was slightly moved. He stroked his beard and thought about it for a moment, then sighed: "You are still too upright. At this time, just making a casual promise can solve the problem..."
He did not continue because he knew that Zhao Hongrun was a man of commitment and was not as duplicitous as some people. This was because he trusted Zhao Hongrun and was willing to tie his Anling Zhao family to this chariot named King Su.
The reasons above.
"What do you plan to do now?"
"What else can we do? Send someone to send those women and Wang Ting's body to Zhengcheng."
"..." Zhao Laiyu glanced at Zhao Hongrun angrily and reminded in a low voice: "Hongrun, you have to know that when Wang Ting's body is delivered to Zhengcheng, the grudge between you and the Wang family will be difficult to resolve.
…”
"What can I do?" Zhao Hongrun also said angrily: "That Huan Hu is obviously a lunatic!...I am willing to use that trick to force Huan Hu to submit, but I didn't expect that guy to have a temper than I thought..."
Zhao Laiyu stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then whispered: "According to what you said, Huan Hu killed Wang Ting after you vetoed his negotiation. This is not good for you... In this case, those
You can't keep women." At this point, a sinister look appeared on his face, and he said in a cold voice: "Kill those women, just say that Huan Hu has already killed Wang Ting when you arrive, and there will be no evidence to prove it!"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but recall those poor women, and the girl who begged him to save her with her earnest eyes.
These women are all from the Anling Wang family. Some are the wives and concubines of Wang Zan, Wang Xuan, Wang Lun and others, and some are their daughters. If it were not for the appearance of Zhao Hongrun, these women would not have to suffer this disaster.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said seriously: "Forget it, I haven't fallen to the point of killing innocent people indiscriminately for myself... If the Wang family of Zhengcheng resents me for this, let him go. Anyway, the Wang family of Zhengcheng is now
He is too busy wrestling with the Shi family to take care of me. What’s more, in a while, it is still unknown whether there will be any Wang family in Zhengcheng..."
Hearing this, Zhao Laiyu nodded and said: "Well, the East Palace and King Yong are fighting fiercely. Logically speaking, both the Zhengcheng Wang family and the Queen Wang family will temporarily put this matter on hold.
I'm sorry, so as not to offend you and make new enemies in the East Palace. However, you have to take precautions in advance."
"Hmph." Zhao Hongrun snorted softly, frowned and said, "I'm not afraid of the East Palace, nor am I afraid of the Queen and Wang family. I'm just worried about my mother-in-law and Xiao Xuan..."
Hearing this, Zhao Laiyu chuckled, shook his head and said: "In my opinion, you don't have to worry about Concubine Shen Shu and His Highness Ninth Prince... Even if the Queen wants to attack those two people, don't forget that there are still people in the palace.
As for the noble concubine, that woman is very scheming and goes against the Queen in everything. The more quarrels you have with the Wang family, the better the impression that woman will have on you..."
The Concubine Shi he mentioned was the mother-in-law of King Yong Hongyu. She was the sister of the former King and Queen with a different surname, but now she regarded the King and Queen as her mortal enemy, and she had considerable power in the palace.
"That's true." Originally, Zhao Hongrun was a little worried about his mother-in-law in Ningxiang Palace, but after hearing Zhao Laiyu's words, he immediately felt relieved: Concubine Shi Guifei, who was against the Queen in everything, was not necessarily something that the Queen could take.
How about Ningxiang Palace?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun turned to Wei Jiao and said: "Wei Jiao, send people to find a few cobblers on the street to sew Wang Ting's head and body, and then send people to Zhengcheng... Connect those
Women, send them over together."
"At this moment?"
Wei Jiao was stunned for a moment and said distressedly: "Your Highness, the people in Anling City are all running to compete with Yanling. There are not even dogs on this street... Why don't you wait for two days?"
"Two days of delay? Two days of delay will stink!" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wei Jiao angrily, waved his hand and said: "Anyway, hurry up and find some cobblers."
"yes!"
Wei Jiao clasped his fists and left.
Watching Wei Jiao walk out of the study, Zhao Hongrun looked at Wang Ting's body with his head and body separated, shaking his head slightly and cursing Huan Hu in his heart.
Don't you know that at the same time, Huan Hu was also gnashing his teeth and cursing Zhao Hongrun secretly.
After all, because of Zhao Hongrun's relationship, he lost nearly a hundred brothers this time when he came into contact with the former. Not counting that, they were also followed by three thousands-man teams of the Merchant Navy.
If it were the infantry of another country, Huan Hu would not take it seriously at all, but the infantry of the Wei State was a different matter. After all, the most powerful infantry of the Wei State was the infantry, especially the "Wei Wuzu" back then. That was in the Central Plains.
All countries have great reputations.
However, those three thousands-man merchant fleets were not what Huan Hu was most afraid of at the moment. What he was most afraid of was the Green Crows who were monitoring their every move from a distance.
"The strength of their legs is comparable to that of a war horse. What are the origins of these bastards?"
Huan Hu stared at the gray figures on the slope in the distance with vicious eyes, gritting his teeth secretly.
With the speed of the war horse, it can't get rid of those "tails", which means that the opponent has a very powerful tracking ability.
Thanks to these people, Huan Hu has not been able to get rid of the three thousands-man merchant fleets following him.
"Elite scout? Not quite like that, more like an assassin..."
Huan Hu muttered to himself.
At this moment, he and the cavalrymen under his command were resting on the outskirts of a forest.
They did not dare to go too deep into the forest, because those "guys in gray cloth" were very powerful in the forest. From yesterday to now, many people on Huan Hu's side had been killed by the other side.
The powerful cavalrymen dismounted in this kind of forest and became the prey of their opponents at will.
"Who are these guys?"
Lying against a tree, Huan Hu rested his head on his hands and murmured.
At this moment, a whisper came from behind the tree behind him.
"Shangshui Qingya... You can understand the hidden thieves under Su Wang Zhao Run as assassins and Koreans."
"..."
Hearing this voice, Huan Hu's body immediately tensed up, and a look of horror appeared on his unruly face.
You must know that the other party can come up behind him silently, which means that the other party can take his life at any time.
"Don't get excited, Huan Hu, there is no need for you and me to conflict." The voice behind the tree whispered.
At this time, the cavalry bandits near Huan Hu also noticed the man behind the tree and drew their weapons in surprise, but were stopped by Huan Hu with a wave of his hand.
"Who are you?"
Waving his hand to signal to his brothers to calm down, Huan Hu asked with a chuckle. He didn't even change his position, still lying with his head on his hands and leaning against the tree trunk.
"I am someone who can help you." The person behind the tree whispered: "Huan Hu, I have been paying attention to you for a while, and I also know that you just had a conflict with Zhao Run. Coincidentally, Lao Chan and Zhao Run also had a conflict.
A grudge...are you interested in joining forces?"
Huan Hu chuckled when he heard this and said: "Old man, your strength is not bad, you can actually sneak behind me... With such ability, you can't deal with a teenage boy?"
The person behind the tree was silent for a moment, and said in a hateful voice: "Zhao Run is surrounded by green crows... Even if he is an old man, he is unable to deal with today's Shangshui green crows."
"Hey!" Huan Hu curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Then you dare to boast about joining forces with me?"
"Huh huh huh." The person behind the tree laughed sinisterly, and then lowered his voice and said: "Huan Hu, don't think you have escaped the crisis. Look, the blue crows over there are still staring at you... Also
, According to the news that the old man learned, Zhao Run has ordered the dispatch of Yangxia's Black Crows, and the assassination skills of those people are much more powerful than the Green Crows..."
"What about the green crow and the black crow?" Huan Hu muttered, then frowned and asked: "Old man, how do you know this?"
"Because most of the Black Crows were once the thieves of the Fuqiu Sect, and Lao Chan was once the leader of the Fuqiu Sect..." The man behind the tree said in a low voice, unable to hide his anger: "
Zhao Run broke the agreement, and I want to get this debt back from him!"
"..."
Huan Hu looked back and realized that the man behind the tree was an old man wearing black clothes and without a left limb.
"How many more people do you have?" he asked, licking his lips.
"There are more people than you." The old man behind the tree whispered.
"Where's the strength?"
"What are the strengths of those Green Crows? The old and decrepit people will only be stronger than them." The old man behind the tree said confidently.
"That's it...then let's cooperate."
Licking his lips, Huan Hu smiled strangely and said, "Then what should we do now?"
"Get rid of those green crows first...Tell your people to go to the forest. The old and decrepit people will greet them in the forest." At this point, the old man behind the tree added a few words: "Hurry up.
Give the order, if you wait until the Black Crows arrive, it will be too late."
"Hmm."
Huan Hu nodded, then stood up. After glancing at the figures watching them on the slope in the distance, he waved to the surrounding cavalry bandits.
