Lord Qing Leng bowed down for me

Chapter 57

Xue Fan stopped coughing, took out the letter from his bosom and opened it, his expression changed after reading it, he knew that Pang Dong's thoughts were not pure, but he did not expect to cause such a catastrophe.

If Marquis Changping hadn't come here, I'm afraid Xue's family would have been in the loess by now.

With deep eyes, he got up and got out of bed, it's a pity that his body is not up to snuff, but he can help Lord Hou.

"It's flooded! Put out the fire!"

Hearing the soldiers running outside and shouting to put out the fire, Xue Fan folded the letter near the candle, watched the letter burn and threw it on the ground.

After Lou Qingbin found the counterfeit money in an abandoned warehouse in the General's Mansion, he hurriedly greeted people, and waited for the counterfeit money to be transported and emptied before he took people out of the General's Mansion. The rest was up to Master Hou and the old general.

In the small building outside the bamboo, there were constant babbling and babbling sounds, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes uplifting, accompanied by a few mournful cries in the middle.

At this time, the play "Patriotism" came to an end. Pang Dong turned his head to look at Jiang Huaice, only to see that he still couldn't get enough of what he heard.

The lonely and cold moon fell on his body like a silver frost armor, and the dim light shone on half of his face, highlighting the desolation.

Following an impassioned sentence on the stage, "wait for the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and turn to the sky." 'Falling down, the eager drums rang out, and Pang Dong listened to the whispers of his confidants.

As soon as his face changed, he was about to get up, and a long knife was unsheathed in an instant. The cold knife seemed to weigh tens of thousands of catties, and was pressed on Pang Dong's shoulder.

Jiang Huaice always had an impenetrable smile on his face, and he said, "Vice General Pang, why are you leaving before the second play is finished?"

At this point, what else does Pang Dong not understand, all of this is Jiang Huaice's handwriting, really good strategy.

They thought they had a seamless plan, but he had already seen through it, and turned against them.

"Sing, Hongmen Banquet."

Jiang Huaice used a knife to force Pang Dong to sit down again. His voice had no warmth, like cutting ice and jade.

The fundus of the eyes seemed to be pressed with frost that would not melt all year round, the actors on the stage met his eyes, nodded and went down to change clothes.

"Master Hou, you have heard that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind."

Pang Dong saw that Jiang Huaice took back his sword and took a drink from his glass. If it was just to lure him, then Jiang Huaice's sword would only be aimed at his neck, not his shoulder.

Now he is pressing himself to listen to some play, Pang Dong guesses that he should be waiting for an opportunity, and this opportunity has not yet appeared.

That's why Jiang Huaice had to press himself to finish listening to the play.

"Lieutenant General Pang, sometimes being smart is a quality that people admire, but sometimes it's not. Self-righteous smartness is stupid."

Jiang Huaice smiled, leaned on the chair and said slowly: "In the past, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong, but today the Hongmen banquet set up by Vice General Pang has been turned by me instead."

"Now at this banquet, I am the host, and you are the guest."

Just two sentences can turn the situation around in an instant. Even if Pang Dong has a large number of people, it is useless. Jiang Huaice alone can withstand thousands of troops.

"It turns out that this is the reason why Lord Hou dared to go to Liaodong alone. Sure enough, Lord Hou has lived up to his reputation."

Pang Dong held the wine glass in his hand, and only said this sentence. Jiang Huaice's reputation as a ghost soldier really made him admire, but how could he easily break the game he had been playing for so long?

"Deputy General Pang, this Marquis has never underestimated you. After all, you said that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind."

Jiang Huaice clenched the last four words tightly, and the two looked at each other. The air was filled with a burning smell of gunpowder, and the person who played 'Xiang Zhuang' on the stage turned around and danced his sword amidst the eager music.

The gate of the small bamboo building was also breached, Xue Ning rushed in with the Xue family army, pointing the tip of the red-tasseled gun at Pang Dong, and said sharply: "Shameless little thief, how dare you murder my father!"

Pang Dong was stunned for a moment when he heard Xue Ning's words. Shouldn't the hat she gave him be minted counterfeit money?How did it become the murder of Xue Fan?
"Take it!"

Xue Ning didn't give Pang Dong a chance to react, so she waved her hand and asked the soldiers behind him to press Pang Dong, and stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth, Pang Dong was just pressed down, with puzzled eyes still showing in his eyes .

"Master Hou, I'm not late."

She took two steps forward and lifted the broken hair on her forehead. After receiving Jiang Huaice's letter, she started to rush back. Fortunately, the timing was just right.

However, she came from the frontier privately. After all, when the two armies were at war, she, the commander, who left the frontier without permission had to be dealt with according to military law.

But Jiang Huaice said that she can go back after the matter here is resolved, and he will guarantee that she will be safe.

"Little General Xue came just in time."

Jiang Huaice stood up and watched Xue Ning order his subordinates to suppress Pang Dong's confidants. Xue Ning took two steps forward and said, "Now that we have captured Pang Dong, what is the next step for Master Hou?"

"Are you going to Huaijing with Pang Dong with that pile of counterfeit money, or?"

Jiang Huaice glanced at the small bamboo building and said, "No, I just let Pang Dong stay in prison for a few days, and Benhou is going to find out where is the copper mine for making counterfeit coins."

Although there were not many counterfeit coins, and some things were spread by Pang Dong, their desire to control the Liaodong capital was not fake.

The Liaodong capital is located at the junction of the borders, which itself is the barrier of Dayong. Although the commerce is not very developed, the steep mountains here are the natural pass of Dayong.

Once this place falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives, the official road to Huaijing will be completely opened, and in the previous life, the rebel army came out of here.

The copper ore used to mint counterfeit coins is not only used to mint coins, but also the most important use is the raw material for weapons.

Therefore, throughout the ages, mining has been firmly in the hands of the imperial court, and individuals are not allowed to mine without permission.

The mine used by Pang Dong and the others must have other uses besides casting counterfeit coins, but it is hidden too deep, so he still needs to find it.

Locking him up was just to prevent him from going to Huaijing to report the news. Pang Dong is still useful, so he can't move for the time being, otherwise the 'squirrel' behind him won't be found.

"Okay, the guards in the General's Mansion can be dispatched by Lord Hou. Let's go back to the General's Mansion first."

Xue Ning's expression became serious, Jiang Huaice nodded, and the two went back to the General's Mansion together.

Before Xue Ning stepped onto the steps, she saw a woman in peach-colored clothes rushing towards her. Xue Ning also reached out to catch her firmly.

"cousin!"

The woman was nestled in Xue Ning's arms, her small face was still a little sick, but she looked a little happy at this time, Xue Ning looked at Jiang Huaice, and explained with some embarrassment: "When I was young, I often pretended to be a boy, and Chu Chu asked me to show my respect. Brother, I can’t change it later.”

The woman lying in Xue Ning's arms listened to Xue Ning's explanation, and looked at Jiang Huaice with hostility in her eyes. Could this person be Cousin Ah Ning's favorite?Otherwise why explain it to him.
