After Liu An learned that Su Ren had left the city gate and headed west early in the morning, he was so angry that he killed someone for the first time. Liu An was a gentleman in the hearts of the people of Huainan Kingdom. He was modest and fair. At least he had never heard of anyone in the palace.
What kind of things happened to compete with the people, let alone ordering killings, such a big thing that hurt the heaven and earth. But today, Liu An was really angry and killed a captain, a team leader, and nine guards in one go.
Soldiers at the city gate.
The bloody corpse was hung at the city gate, and anyone passing by could see it clearly. The team leader who had just been sent to guard the city gate loudly lectured his men: "Listen to me, from now on,
If you don't want to die, keep your eyes bright. No matter who it is, even the King of Heaven will not be able to enter the city without the king's order. If anyone wants me to die, I will kill his whole family first!"
Drops of blood dripped from the dead bodies on the top of the city gate, like water from the eaves, dripping drop by drop at the city gate, forming small blood pits. The soldiers remained silent, watching the team leader as if they were going crazy and trembling with fear.
There were lessons learned from the past, and no one was willing to do the same thing again. When the city gate opened again, the soldiers became a little crazy as if they had been given blood. They rushed forward without saying a word and arrested them first.
Say it again.
There are more people outside Shouchun City than in the city. They were originally farmers nearby. Since they have stopped cultivating their fields and lost their source of livelihood, they flock to Shouchun, hoping to enter the city to make a living. Unfortunately, they cannot enter the city either.
So they had to gather outside the city. The huts built one after another stretched out for several miles from the city gate. When the wind blew, a strange smell would penetrate your nose.
The three of Su and Ren rode horses through the temporarily formed outer city. On both sides, there were people staggering around. Occasionally, there would be a corpse, which was eaten by mosquitoes, wild cats and wild dogs, which made people's hair stand on end. Su Ren thought of many things.
In the history of thousands of years, this kind of situation has happened quite a lot, especially in feudal society, the situation where the people of the world are in danger because of one person's words is even more serious.
There is no need to describe the Tang and Song dynasties after the Han Dynasty. Each dynasty has one or several examples. The most prominent example is the demise of the Qin Dynasty, which is the closest to the Han Dynasty. After the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, the world should have recuperated, but because of
The reason why Qin Shihuang was one person was to build the Great Wall in the north and fight against the Yue people in the south. All kinds of corvee services emerged one after another, taxes increased year after year, and the people were miserable. Eventually, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang swept the entire world with eight hundred people and destroyed the Qin Dynasty.
Liu An is also in the same situation now. He is even more outrageous than Qin Shihuang. Just because he saw the comet, he felt that his opportunity had come. This made the entire Huainan country panic and a large number of people were displaced. If the comet in the sky stayed for half a month longer, Su Ren
They all felt that without the court taking action, as long as someone shouted, the people of Huainan Kingdom could kill Liu An.
Arriving at the city gate, the city gate guards immediately lined up and stretched out their halberds in front of Su Ren. The white horse leaving the city has become a worry for the city gate soldiers. Now those bloody lessons are above their heads, and they see these people again.
When they came back, how could they let go of the newly appointed captain? With a loud shout, all the soldiers rushed out and surrounded Su and Ren.
Huang Shisan and Man Niu were ready to go on a killing spree, but Su Ren stopped them. They could beat people and curse people, but they couldn't kill people. As an envoy, if you kill someone in other countries, you will be beheaded.
, who made Liu Bang establish three rules when he entered Xianyang, one of which was that the murderer must die. This rule was regarded as a law by the Han Dynasty, and no one could violate it.
Just as the team leader was about to speak, Su Ren glared at him: "Don't tell me you don't know who I am. It's best not to act rashly. It's better to report it to your king quickly to avoid causing trouble. The one above is yours."
End."
The team leader trembled with fright. Since ancient times, mortals have always been injured in fights between gods. The team leader was not confused at all. He felt that what Su Ren said was reasonable, and immediately stopped his soldiers from rushing forward and ordered someone to report it.
The excitement at the gate of the city attracted those who had nothing to do, and soon they formed a large circle. They all wanted to see who was so bold, and even forced to enter the city at this time, and pointed at the young man riding the white horse.
Su Ren turned a deaf ear to this and sat on the horse leisurely waiting for Liu An's decision. He knew that Liu An should have a headache at this time.
Liu An lay on his back on the couch, and a maid held Liu An's head hard with both hands. It had been a long time, and sweat was already visible on the maid's face. There was still a loud quarrel in the hall, and both sides' opinions were very clear. So
The party headed by the crown prince Liu Qian supported the arrest of Su Ren, while the party headed by Liu Hong felt that Su Ren was a court official and an envoy of the Hengshan Kingdom, and it was understandable to leave the city. If he wanted to arrest him, he would cause trouble.
Liu An closed his eyes and felt irritated when he heard that. Whether Su Ren was leaving the city or entering the city, it troubled him. Once again, he felt that he was too soft-hearted at the beginning and did not send Su Ren away directly. This is why he is now endless.
troubles.
"That's enough!" Liu An shouted as he sat up straight and slapped the case hard: "We have been arguing and arguing but we still can't make a decision. Is it possible that I have to go out of the city to welcome you?"
Liu Qian heard something from Liu An's words, and immediately said: "Father, although Su Ren is the envoy of Hengshan Kingdom, he does not respect the laws of our Huainan Kingdom, and he should be severely punished."
Liu An glanced at Liu Qian: "Kill him or arrest him?"
"You should act according to my Huainan laws!"
Liu An sneered: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you catch Su Ren?"
"What consequences could there be? Our troops in Huainan are well-fed, but we are still afraid of the Hengshan Kingdom..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Qian was stunned and quickly shut up. Liu Andao said: "Now I want to know what this Su Ren did when he left the city? When Liu Jian was taken away by Buhu yesterday, that Su Renke said that Liu Jian could not suffer in vain.
, this sudden departure from the city must have a purpose, I want to know how he will take revenge?"
"It is said that Su Ren left the city and headed west, turning back in one day, covering a distance of hundreds of miles. I guess he went to meet the imperial angel Duan Hong." Wu Bei hit the nail on the head, and the hall immediately became filled with excitement.
smell.
Liu Qian thought for a while and said strangely: "Duan Hong didn't take the water route by boat, how could Su Ren meet him on horseback?"
Liu Hong sneered: "Your Majesty, do you really believe that Duan Hong took the water route?"
Zuo Wudao said: "No matter whether Duan Hong took the waterway or the land route, Su Ren must have done something unfavorable to our Huainan when he left the city. I thought that I could let Su Ren enter the city and sent troops to surround the other courtyard to prevent this from happening again.
When something happens, as long as Su Ren doesn't have contact with outsiders, it will be in vain even if he has great power."
Liu An nodded: "Then let's do this. Send someone to call Chen Ding back from Yongxing Ferry. The situation in Shouchun needs to be strictly guarded now."
Liu Hong wanted to say something, but after looking into Liu An's eyes, he didn't open his mouth. He lowered his head and pondered, feeling uneasy in his heart.
The confrontation at the gate of the city made Team Leader sweat profusely. From time to time, Team Leader looked back and looked into the city, fearing that he would become those people hanging on the city wall. When he saw that he was about to close the city, there was still no order. Team Leader took a deep breath, as long as
If he closed the city gate to prevent Su Ren from entering the city, he would not be derelict in his duty. However, he was worried that if the king changed his mind, what would happen if he locked people outside the city?
A fast horse galloped over. Seeing the clothes of the knight on the horse, the leader let out a sigh of relief. He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "I pay my respects to the captain."
The captain did not dismount. He bypassed the team and came to Su Ren. He cupped his hands and said, "After a while, Mr. Su, the king ordered that you can enter the city and let me lead my troops to protect you. Please!"
The team leader quickly waved his hand to get his men out of the way. Su Ren smiled and rode into the city. When he passed by the team leader, he looked at him with a smile: "You are good! You will be a captain in the future."
The team leader's face turned pale and he quickly went to see his superior. The captain glared at the team leader: "Why don't you close the door quickly and let me escort Mr. Su back?"
After a flurry, the heavy city gate was closed. Among a group of onlookers, Su Ren was surrounded by thirty or fifty soldiers and headed towards the other courtyard. The fight that the onlookers expected did not happen, and they shrank in despair.
On the street, look for something to keep out the cold.
Han Qing and Hou Yong had always been worried since Su Ren left the city. They also heard that because Su Ren left the city, the King of Huainan went on an unprecedented killing spree, and the entire courtyard was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. They felt that
The matter was getting serious, and they were already ready to fight out of the city. Just when they were about to take action, they saw Su Ren being surrounded by a group of Huainan soldiers heading towards the other courtyard. Hou Yong shouted and called for men to snatch him.
people.
Han Qing quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, take a look before talking, don't hurt sir."
Not far from the other courtyard, the captain stopped his horse and said to Su Ren: "Sir, please, for your safety, the king has dispatched three hundred soldiers to protect you. The king said that it is not very safe in the city these days, so you should not walk around without any reason."
It’s good.”
Su Ren smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please tell King Huainan, I understand."
The tense atmosphere in the courtyard became quiet again with Su Ren's return. Han Qing and Hou Yong followed Su Ren closely. Luckily for Hou Yong, he was a soldier and was always straightforward. As long as Su Ren ordered him to go through fire and water, he would do whatever he wanted.
Han Qing was thinking too much. After connecting all the things together, he felt that King Huainan would probably take action against Su Ren this time.
"Sir, can you see an angel?"
Su Ren nodded: "I've seen you. I've said everything I need to say. It just depends on what Duan Hong thinks. He should have an idea."
"That's good. In that case, we have to leave. If we stay here, the King of Huainan might be disadvantageous to you."
Su Ren shook his head: "No rush, can you please let King Huainan go to Chang'an in the next few days? As long as we keep a low profile, Liu An won't do anything to us."
"But I'm worried about what might happen..."
"Don't worry, Deputy. As long as I, Hou Yong, are here, the soldiers from the Huainan Kingdom can't stop us."
Su Ren laughed: "Look, Mr. Han is not as tough as General Hou. It damages the reputation of your ancestors!" (To be continued)
