Fu Song

Chapter 326 Large-scale social death scene
The prison door opened with a bang, and several big men with broad shoulders and round bodies rushed in, two serving one, dragging Cui Ang and Cheng Gui out.

"What do you want to do? What do you want to do?" Cui Ang cried out in horror and asked repeatedly, but the big man ignored him.

Cheng Gui was much calmer. Looking at Cui Ang, he smiled wryly and said, "What else can you do? Didn't you hear the prison chief say that Xiao Ding is back two days ago? I'm afraid that today the Western Army will raise their flags to rebel and set off to march. Naturally, we have to borrow these two good heads."

"Flag sacrifice?" Cui Ang's face, which was originally flushed from excitement and struggle, suddenly turned pale.

Cheng Gui nodded: "I think it should be."

"I am a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty, Yushi Zhongcheng, how dare Xiao Ding kill me?" Cui Ang yelled.

Cheng Gui sighed: "Zhongcheng, people are about to rebel, I'm afraid even the officials will not pay attention to them, and they still care about you and me? Maybe in the eyes of others, killing a gentleman to sacrifice the flag will be more prestigious !"

While speaking, the two of them had been forced into a carriage that was leaking from all sides. With the sound of the driver cracking his whip and waving his whip, under the escort of dozens of sergeants, the carriage went straight to the outside of the city.

I see!
I see!
The army formation that could not be seen at a glance stood solemnly in the wilderness.

Order soldiers waving command flags and galloping back and forth.

From time to time, teams of soldiers will receive orders to leave their original positions and march towards new locations.

There are many swords and guns, armor leaves collide, and war horses neigh.

A blood-thirsty murderous intent silently permeated the sky and the earth amidst the cold wind.

The carriage continued to move forward, and a high platform stood tall.

Except for the direction of the frontal army formation, the other three directions of the high platform were filled with colorful flags. In the middle of the high platform, a wooden pole several feet high was erected, with a black letter on a white background fluttering on it. Xiao character banner.

It turned out that the flag was red and fiery.

Because the Song Dynasty is still hot.

Therefore, the flags of the army and the jackets of the soldiers are basically red.

Xiao Ding's original flag was also fiery red, embroidered with the characters of Xiao Jiu, Chief of the Western March of the Great Song Dynasty, and the whole flag was decorated extremely luxuriously, beautifully, and imposingly.

But now, it has been replaced by a large banner with black letters on a white background.

But it was this big naked flag that made Cheng Gui's body numb.

"It's really going to take us to sacrifice the flag!" Cui Ang gritted his teeth, his face turned blue and purple, and Cheng Gui smelled a smell of urine.

"If a man dies, he will die. Wouldn't it be a joke to act like this!" Cheng Gui said angrily.

Cui Ang lowered his head, closed his eyes tightly, and his face was full of shame.

He thought he could see death as home, but when the real thing happened, his body still couldn't control it. The boundless fear surged into his heart one after another like a sea tide, breaking down his last line of defense.

Under the high platform, there are many generals and officers.

Cui Ang and Cheng Gui, who were dragged out of the carriage, looked at these people, and almost all of them were recognized standing in the front.

Zhang Yuan, Tuoba Yangwei, Ren Duozhong, Ren Duobao, Xin Jian, He Zheng, Zhou Huan, Cao Can.
Naturally, these people also recognized these two, and their eyes fell on their faces.

Many people showed surprise on their faces.

Others wanted to laugh but seemed desperately trying not to.

They saw the stains on Cui Ang's clothes and smelled the indescribable smell.

In this situation, not to mention Cui Ang, even Cheng Gui felt that it would be better to smash his head against the pillar to death.

What a shame!

But at this moment, even if they wanted to die, they couldn't help it.

The two of them were dragged to the high platform.

On the high platform, a person stood alone.

Xiao Ding!

The strong wind raised his leather wind high, holding the dark scabbard around his waist with his hand, and he, who was covered in black armor, was like a sculpture.

"Xiao Ding, are you going to be a sinner of Song Dynasty?" Cheng Gui shouted loudly. "Do you want to make loved ones hurt and enemies happy?"

Thinking that he can't live today, Cheng Gui exerted all his strength, looked at Xiao Ding, and shouted: "Do you still remember what you said to Bachelor Ma when you were in the appeasement of the envoy?"

Xiao Ding turned his head slowly.

Looking at Xiao Ding, Cui Ang, Cheng Gui were all stunned.

Xiao's beard, who was famous all over the world, disappeared, and what appeared in front of them was a slightly unfamiliar face.

But those eyes were still the same as before.

Perseverance!

At this moment, it is also full of determination.

Xiao Ding pointed to the flags on the four sides of the high platform, none of the colorful flags was recognized by two people.

"Some of these flags belong to the Tubo people, some belong to the Uyghur people, some belong to the Xi people, and of course, some of them belong to various tribes of the Liao people." Xiao Ding said: "These tribes are gone now, from where we stand all the way to To the north and west, the flag of the Great Song Dynasty is planted thousands of miles away. Even at this time, my generals are still advancing towards the north."

Cheng Gui was dumbfounded.

But Xiao Ding laughed: "Brother Deqian, I remember what I said back then, but what did the imperial court do to me?"

"This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Cui Ang's eyes widened, and he said impatiently: "Changqing, Changqing, let me go back, and I can avenge your grievance."

Xiao Ding looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Avenge justice? Cui Zhongcheng, why do you avenge justice for me? My father, can my mother survive?"

"Xiao Changqing, as long as you have a little brain, you should know that the court has no reason to kill your father and mother. There are ghosts here, and someone is causing trouble!" Cheng Gui struggled to go forward, but was caught behind him. The soldiers held down firmly.

"Yes, there is a ghost!" Xiao Ding said indifferently: "My father and mother died inexplicably, and then Zhang Chao went to Shaanxi Road, and then the imperial court began to mobilize dozens of soldiers and horses from the roads of Gyeonggi, Hedong, and Qinfeng. Ten thousand people, and then Li Dan led tens of thousands of soldiers to attack my Shentang Castle?"

Looking at Cheng Gui mockingly, Xiao Ding continued: "If it's a misunderstanding, why did the court do this? Bianliang, the heartland of the Song Dynasty, my father is a dignified third envoy and a scholar of Duanming Palace. My mother is Mrs. Erpin Haoming, and she died for no apparent reason, Brother Deqian, can you explain to me why?"

Cheng Gui has nothing to say.

Is there a misunderstanding?

I'm afraid not.

The general believed it.

Xiao Ding has too many soldiers and horses in his hands, and the power he controls is too great. The court already felt that he could not control him, and tried every means to cut his power and bring him back to Bianliang.

As for Xiao Ding's side, the more the court was like this, the more he dared not go back, the more he dared not hand over power, for fear that once he handed over power, the whole family would immediately become fish on the court's felt board and be slaughtered by others.

This is completely an unsolvable dead end.

Most of Xiao Ding's subordinates are barbarians who were conquered by him. These people are convinced of power and have no awe of the imperial court. They very much hope that under Xiao Ding's leadership, they can go to a new level.

All of them add up together.

When someone with a heart takes advantage of the current situation in the Song Dynasty and gently pushes it inside, everything will be out of control.

Thinking of this, Cheng Gui turned his head to look at Xiao Ding, the fierceness in his eyes was really undisguised.

It's all this guy, it's all this bastard.

If there is no big defeat on Hebei Road, the situation will never be like this.

It was like a domino, when the first one fell, it immediately triggered a series of chain reactions, and the final result was simply uncontrollable.

Under the high platform, a hundred wrestlers beat the cowhide drum, and a hundred trumpeters blew the bullhorn and trombone. Xiao Se was awe-inspiring, raising his height step by step.

"Xiao sent troops today, and I invite you two to be witnesses!" Xiao Ding turned his head and said, then ignored the two, and strode towards the edge of the high platform.

Cheng Gui looked up to the sky and sighed.

Cui Ang slumped down uncontrollably, but was held tightly by two big men.

The drums stopped, the horns stopped.

Cheng Gui was in no mood to listen to what Xiao Ding had to say.

Because it doesn't matter to him.

The time he stayed in this world was running out. He closed his eyes, but what he thought about in his mind was the warm time with his relatives.

It's a pity that I have been busy with fame and fame all my life, and now I try to recall the happy scenes with my relatives, but there are only a few.

The sound of drums sounded again.

Accompanied by the sound of drums and trumpets, there was also the sound of soldiers shouting angrily.

The sound of hooves gradually faded away.

The footsteps of the orderly pawns that made the high platform tremble slightly gradually faded away.

Cheng Gui opened his eyes, and looked strangely at Xiao Ding who was still standing on the high platform.

Shouldn't they be beheaded first, so that the blood from their necks will rush to the big black-and-white flag to strengthen the army?

But Xiao Ding stood there, watching the groups of soldiers gradually go away.

The heads of the two of them are still on top of their heads.

Xiao Ding turned around and walked in front of the two.

"Bachelor, you go back! Go back and tell the court, return my parents' remains to me, and return my brother and sister to me. This can be regarded as saving some face and affection for each other. In the future, he will go south and go north. no longer have anything to do with each other.”

"You let me go back?" Cui Ang was pleasantly surprised.

"Naturally, the bachelor can be regarded as my old friend, and Cui Jin is also my partner who has played with me since I was a child. Seeing the past affection, I will let it go this time. The next time it falls into my hands, but the steel knife is ruthless." Already!" Xiao Ding waved his hand, as if chasing away a fly.

"Thank you Changqing, thank you Changqing, I will definitely speak for you when I return to Bianliang." While thanking repeatedly, Cui Ang was dragged down by the sergeant.

Cheng Gui looked at Xiao Ding, suddenly smiled and said: "You even let him go, why don't you let me, the accompanying guest?"

"He can leave, but you can't!" Xiao Ding said. "Cheng Deqian is well-known on Shaanxi Road, which is quite convincing. Cheng Deqian is very likely to do things that appease Lan Sixin. I am about to confront the imperial army on Shaanxi Road. How could there be any Letting you go back, wouldn't this make Zhang Chao even more powerful? What are you doing holding Cheng Fuzun? He can still run away? Can he still bite me?"

Cheng Gui is just a literati, while Xiao Ding is a well-known general in the world, the two soldiers looked at each other, smiled mischievously, and retreated.

Cheng Gui sighed: "This is Zhang Yuan's idea, right? It's really vicious!"

"Why do you say something vicious?"

"People, people!" Cheng Gui said: "When you first entered Shaanxi, you were still a passionate general, but now, you are slowly becoming a hero. When Cui Ang returns, the top of the Great Song Dynasty, but It's just endless fighting. Cui Ang, who was lucky enough to take his life back, has no reason not to fight Xia Jie and the others with all his might?"

Cui Ang was deliberately given up by Xia Jie and others. Knowing that Xiao Yu was dead, they did not notify Cui Ang to turn around, but still used Cui Ang to delay the pace of the Western Army and confuse the Western Army. Chao dispatched troops on Shaanxi Road to buy time.This is a plan to deliberately kill Cui Ang.

How could Cui Ang, who was already narrow-minded, be able to swallow this breath, after returning, he would definitely become deadly enemies with Xia Jie and others.

In the center of the imperial court, with such a shit-stirring root, I am afraid that Bianliang will be troubled.

This is of course a lot of benefits for the Western Army.

It is indeed much more refreshing than killing Cui Ang with a knife.

Is killing him very different from killing a dog?

"What are you going to do with me?" Cheng Gui asked lightly, "Still locked up?"

"Lei Dejin has already fought under the Congling Ridge." Xiao Ding said: "My long-cherished wish is to restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties. But Lei Dejin is a general, and he is good at fighting, but he can't manage the places. It is even more difficult. Are you willing to go there to seek a future for Han people like me? Isn’t this more meaningful than staying here and watching us kill each other? You know, there are many descendants of Han people there, and There are also many pure Han Chinese who have insisted not to intermarry with local people for hundreds of years.”

"Since we know it's cannibalism, why do we still do it?" Seeing Xiao Ding in front of him wanting to plan for the future of the Han people who are far away in the sky, Cheng Gui has mixed feelings in his heart.

"Does De Qian want me to wash my neck and let the court chop it?" Xiao Ding sneered: "If I don't defeat the court, how can I have the energy to restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties? If I don't keep my power and territory, where will I come from?" financial and human resources to defeat the enemies there."

"You are not an opponent of the imperial court."

Xiao Ding was silent for a while, and said: "I know, so I never thought of going to Bianliang. Hengshan is the boundary line I drew for the court. But if you want to do this, you must first win the battle in front of you. This battle is only possible. Are you going or not?"

"I'll go!" Cheng Gui said helplessly: "Although it's far away, I can always do things. Is it possible that you have been locked here all the time? Maybe someone came to the door and cut me with a knife when you were not at home that day? Can I live? , is better than dead."

"Then you go too, Lei Dejin and Zheng Jihua's envoys are about to leave, so you can go with them." Xiao Ding said. "I'm leaving too!"

Cheng Gui nodded, turned and walked towards the steps, halfway down, but suddenly turned around and said, "Changqing, be careful of Liao people."
