Chapter 262
The buns stuffed with chives were served with cold water. Xu Xianchun came to the capital because of diarrhea. At first, he still had diarrhea, but Xu Xianchun got angry in the past two days, so... hemorrhoids broke out again.
Oh my god! There is nothing more miserable than suffering from hemorrhoids and diarrhea. Your stomach hurts when you don’t have diarrhea, but your butt hurts when you have diarrhea. You have to keep riding on horseback, and the journey that you can reach in three days is just delayed.
six days.
This journey can be regarded as Xu Xianchun's road of blood and tears. When he arrived in the capital, Master Xu, the dignified commander of the Jinyi Guards, only had half his life left.
What greeted Xu Xianchun was not Li Xiao's army, but Wei Zhongxian's anger.
"Where is Li Xiao?" Wei Zhongxian shouted when he saw Xu Xianchun.
"Didn't you come to the capital? I saw him boarding the ship with my own eyes."
"Pah!" Wei Zhongxian gave Xu Xianchun a slap in the face after he swung it round.
"There's not even a damn soldier like Li Xiao in the whole capital, let me tell you. Li Xiao is now the governor of Shandong, you know. Damn it, that little bastard sold us, and you're still here
I'm helping him count the money." Wei Zhongxian kicked Xu Xianchun to the ground and kicked him violently.
After all, he is an elderly person and does not insist on physical exercise on weekdays. After kicking a few times, Wei Zhongxian was panting like a bellows.
This was simply a soul-crushing blow. Xu Xianchun knelt on the ground and couldn't speak. You Li Xiao, you... deceived me!
Li Xiao didn't hear Xu Xianchun's mournful cry. He was also on the road these days. He was fighting all the way to Jinan along Laizhou, Weifang, and Zibo. Now he had the Holy Purpose at his disposal, and he was the new governor of Shandong. The government offices along the way not only
If you dare to stop it, you may even have to supply military supplies and food.
Since there is no need to bring food and grass, the army can advance very quickly.
Chen Hailong got the news several days later than Li Xiao, and there was nothing he could do about it. This was the new emperor's imperial edict, and in order to show solemnity, the imperial court did not send five hundred miles to rush, but sent a small official from the Ministry of Rites to help.
Proclaimed the decree.
The distance from the capital to Jinan is not very short. It is also the first time for the imperial envoy to go out to the capital. Naturally, he has to show off. He must put up a guard of honor wherever he passes and accept the "specialties" from local officials. Otherwise, he will not be able to go out this time.
Jing is at a loss.
Li Xiao had already arrived in Zibo, and Chen Hailong was waiting for this imperial envoy angel.
After hearing the content of the imperial edict, Chen Hailong was extremely angry. After all, I can be regarded as the eagle dog of your Zhu family. Now that the new emperor has come, the eagle dog will immediately become a lost dog. Do you still have professional ethics!
The Chen family was originally a pirate, and they have not lost any time in their profession these years. Now that the new emperor has teased him like this, Chen Hailong simply quits.
The imperial envoy who announced the decree was unlucky. Chen Hailong tied the less dedicated imperial envoy to a pillar, cut out his heart and liver. It was considered a great gift to sacrifice the flag. In his opinion, asking God to do something has to have a suitable price. Please ask for it.
The bigger the matter, the more valuable the sacrifice must be.
After all, the imperial envoy who announced the decree was also a sixth-rank official. God should agree to his request.
After killing the imperial envoy, Chen Hailong felt that he was a little impulsive. He originally planned to return to his hometown in Guangdong, but after killing the imperial envoy, he thought of an important problem. Now he has no ship!
Li Xiu and Liu Laoliu wandered around the Yellow Sea like sharks for almost two months. There was Chen Laohu, Chen Fu's nephew, as a mole. Not one of Chen Hailong's boats escaped. They were all sent to the bottom of the sea by Li Xiu!
Now if I want to escape back to my hometown in Guangdong, the boat has become a big problem.
Moreover, Chen Hailong is not a proletarian running around the mountains naked. The results of corruption in Shandong over the years. Land and real estate are not included. It would take hundreds of cars to pull it away. How much does it cost to load a ship...
!Without these things, how can you organize a team to protect yourself when you arrive in Guangdong? Only fools will sacrifice their lives for you if you have no money.
Going back by land?
To take the shortest distance, you have to pass through Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian before reaching Guangdong. Along the way, there are dense river networks and numerous water bandits. Not to mention Fujian, it is a difficult mountain road. Even if the government does not catch up, it will be difficult to walk down the road.
, the bandits probably robbed them almost as well.
Chen Hailong's world is gloomy. He is like a mouse trapped in a cage, wanting to leave but unable to.
Li Xiao was like a big cat with glaring eyes, approaching Chen Hailong step by step. The strong sense of oppression made Chen Hailong restless.
"Commander! There is nothing we can do now. Li Xiao has arrived in Zibo. Seeing that it is only two or three days away from Jinan, you should get a charter." Seeing that Chen Hailong had no idea, his soldiers and generals were already anxious. After so many years,
Following the Chen family, they and the Chen family had broken their bones and tendons long ago. Even if they wanted to stay apart now, they definitely couldn't.
"Noisy! What are you arguing about? Are all the Chen family members dead? Li Xiao hasn't come here yet. Who the hell are you showing this face to?" A group of people were "buzzing" and "buzzing" as noisily as flies.
, suddenly a voice rang at the door.
Everyone looked towards the door, and it turned out to be Chen Haihu, the second master who had gone to the capital.
"Second brother, why are you back?" Chen Hailong was a little surprised to see Chen Haihu coming back. According to his understanding of this second brother, it would be good if Chen Haihu didn't run away and go back to his hometown in Guangdong at this time. Why would he come back to Jinan?
water.
"Brother, we are brothers. At this time when the enemy is facing us, brothers will naturally come back to help you in the same boat. Even if we don't want Jinan anymore, we still have to go back to our hometown in Guangdong. When our Chen family returns to Guangdong, they still enjoy spicy food.
"Yes." Chen Haihu patted his chest and spoke in a very heroic tone.
Chen Hailong was a little moved. He was indeed his brother who went into battle. At this critical moment, some of his subordinates had already begun to flee. Only this brother would rush back from the capital.
"Good brother!" Chen Hailong was extremely excited and walked up to Chen Haihu with tears in his eyes!
"Brother!" Chen Haihu's expression was very excited.
Chen Hailong opened his arms and embraced his loyal brother. He swore in his heart that if he broke out this time, he would share the wealth and honor with his brother.
"Click!" A crisp sound came out at an inappropriate time.
Chen Hailong violently pushed Chen Haihu away, and at this moment Chen Haihu was holding a revolver in his hand.
"Click!" The revolver rang again, but still no bullets were fired.
Chen Haihu's face has become twisted into a ball, and Chen Hailong's face has turned pale with anger. Just now, he was thinking about how to treat his younger brother well, but he didn't expect that this young man actually wanted to kill him.
"You idiot!" Chen Hailong took out the sword from his waist and swung it.
"Chen Fu, you bastard!" Seeing the dazzling sword light coming before his eyes, Chen Haihu cursed and subconsciously pulled the trigger with his finger.
"Bang!" This time, a bullet actually shot out. The bullet scratched Chen Hailong's neck, and blood immediately spurted out like a fountain.
Under the action of inertia, the saber also struck Chen Haihu's neck. Although it no longer had much strength, the sharp saber still cut off half of Chen Haihu's neck and was firmly stuck on the bone.
"Whoops! Whoops!" Both brothers wanted to speak, but neither could speak. Blood gushed out from both of their mouths, and the generals and officers in the room suddenly exploded.
No one expected that what was just a scene of brotherly unity would turn into a brotherly murder in an instant.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
The two brothers fell to the ground one after another, and there was a large pool of blood, but no one came forward. Everyone stared at the scene in front of them, and no one knew what to do.
The three brothers of the Chen family, Chen Hailong and Chen Haihu, are fighting here. The third master, Chen Seal, was killed by Li Xiao in Penglai last month. The Chen family is now truly leaderless.
Someone shouted, "Run!" The generals and officers immediately dispersed.
The tree fell and the hozens scattered, and everyone in the Chen family was dead. Why don't you run away now and wait for Li Xiao to come to Jinan to catch you?
All the generals and officers immediately ran home, packed enough supplies, loaded onto their carriages, and fled outside the city of Jinan. As for who is in charge of the army, who cares who cares, anyway, I don't care.
"Mr. Chen! Are you going to do this? Will Chen Haihu really assassinate his eldest brother? That's his eldest brother." The fifth master stood beside Chen Fu, looking at the Jinan city gate with Chen Fu.
"You'll know later whether I'm going to kill him or not. Have you sent Brother Xiao's fast horse out yet?"
"It's been sent out. Man Ye's 1st Cavalry Division will arrive in Jinan tonight."
"That's good. With Master Man in charge, Jinan City won't be in chaos.
Chen Haihu is the most selfish person, and selfish people have another characteristic, which is greed. We deducted Chen Haihu’s belongings that he transferred to the capital, and he will kill Chen Hailong for these belongings. What’s more, we promised that after the matter is completed,
Give him a hundred hectares of fertile land in Shandong.
There are some people! They just don’t know whether they can take advantage of the benefits at hand. Chen Haihu is such a person. If you promise him benefits, he will betray his own father, let alone his eldest brother." How many people did Chen Fu have in the Chen family?
In the past ten years, Chen Haihu has grown up as he watched.
"Are we really going to fulfill our promise to Chen Haihu?" Mr. Wu's eyes widened. One hundred hectares of fertile land is not a small amount. Could it be that we just gave it to Chen Haihu?
"Haha! Let's wait until he is alive to take it. Give him a total of three bullets in the revolver. For the first two rounds, I twisted off the bullets, poured out the gunpowder and put the bullets back. The third bullet is the real bullet.
!”
"What...!" Mr. Wu's eyes widened. He didn't expect this old guy to be so bad. He knew with his buttocks that this time it would be a lose-lose outcome for both Chen brothers.
"I've said it all, before you get the benefit you want, you have to see if you have the life to take it."
"Mr. Chen, look!" Master Wu pointed at the Jinan city gate, and cavalry escorting carriages were rushing out of the city gate. These people had panic on their faces, and they were rushing in like headless flies.
Chapter completed!
