Chapter 1138 The Fall of Taiping (Part 1)
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The news that Wangzhi County sent a housekeeper to sue the Japanese pirates spread quickly.
Xiahou county magistrate and his entourage of more than 30 people, after paying eight lives, finally beheaded eleven Japanese pirates who were carrying their heads to demonstrate outside the north gate. It seems to have returned to the city.
It can be said to be a close call. If Xiahou County Chancellor and the others were two seconds later, the Japanese pirates who were chasing would have chased them into the north gate.
boom!
The city gates are closed! Closed loop lock key!
The Japanese pirates who came after them were slammed, and they yelled and cursed unwillingly.
As soon as the Xiahou county magistrate and his party retreated to the doorway, they heard the sound of the city gate being closed behind them. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Hanging up and looking embarrassed, he couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, happy, happy"
Xiahou County Prime Minister and his party lay on the ground, thinking that they had killed eleven Japanese pirates, they felt extremely happy.
"Master Xiahou, the county lord, the county lord."
Just as Xiahou County Prime Minister was lying on the ground with the others to recover his strength, a small official came over with a strange expression on his face, looked at the people around him with some hesitation, and hesitantly said to Xiahou County Prime Minister.
"Liu Shuli, what's the matter with the county magistrate? These are brothers who have died, so it's okay to speak up." Xiahou County Prime Minister said indifferently.
"Master Xiahou, when you went out of the city to kill the Japanese, the county magistrate sent his confidant butler to ask the Japanese pirates for peace."
Liu Shuli hesitated for a moment, then whispered.
"what?!"
Xiahou County Prime Minister heard the words, and sat up suddenly, his whole body was struck by lightning, his brain buzzed and went blank.
"The county official asked the Japanese pirates for peace?!"
When the monks, scholars and others heard the words, their eyes widened in disbelief, and they sat up.
While he was killing the enemy in blood, the magistrate who was greedy for life and afraid of death actually sent someone to sue the Japanese pirates in private? !
This feels very bad, like being stabbed in the back by one of your own when you are fighting the enemy bravely.
"No! I'm going to meet the county venerable. The Japanese pirates are ambitious, and they never die. Seeking peace with the Japanese pirates is no different from seeking skin with a tiger! County lord, how can this be the case?" Xiahou County Cheng gritted his teeth and said Then he stood up suddenly, the wound on his back was torn open, and blood dripped down.
After asking Qing Wangzhi County to be at the south gate, the Xiahou county magistrate went straight to the south gate like an angry tiger.
"Brother Xiahou, you are not in charge of defending the Japanese pirates at the east and north gates. Why did you come to the south gate? If the Japanese invade the city at this time, there is no good brother to defend the east and north gates, what should I do?"
Wangzhi County saw the Prime Minister of Xiahou County from a distance, and before Xiahou County City could speak, he asked first.
"Xianzun, I heard that you sent a housekeeper to ask the Japanese pirates for peace? Is there such a thing?"
Xiahou County Prime Minister did not answer Wang Zhixian's question, but went straight to the point, and asked directly.
"I asked the Japanese pirates for peace?! Haha, what a bunch of nonsense! Literate nonsense! Who is so frantic to slander this official?!"
Wang Zhixian heard the words, as if he had suffered a great injustice, he immediately exploded and said furiously.
ah?
Xiahou County Prime Minister was stunned, could it be that Liu Shuli made a mistake? !
"Brother Xiahou, at this time of life and death, it is the people of He County who are in the same boat and resist the Japanese pirates. Who is spreading such rumors and slandering this official? What does he want to do?! Those who spread such rumors have bad intentions and try to destroy I'm so devoted to one of the big plans to fight against the Japanese, my heart can be punished!"
Wang Zhixian's chest rose and fell violently, and he was so angry that he said to Xiahou County Cheng excitedly that his emotions could not be calmed for a long time.
"Xianzun, where is the butler Liu Qi?"
Seeing the appearance of Wangzhi County, Xiahou County Cheng felt that Liu Shuli might have made a mistake and misunderstood the magistrate, but it was a matter of life and death in Taiping County, so he had to be cautious, Xiahou County Cheng asked with a blank face.
"Master Xiahou, the younger one is here. Master Xiahou called the younger one, but do you have something to tell the younger one?"
The housekeeper Liu Qi appeared in front of Xiahou County Prime Minister after hearing the sound.
Seeing that the butler Liu Qi was still on the city wall, Xiahou County Prime Minister was relieved. Liu Qi was still on the city wall and did not go to seek peace with the Japanese pirates. Now it seems that Liu Shuli made a mistake and misunderstood the county magistrate.
"It's nothing, I'll just ask casually." Xiahou County Chancellor replied.
"Oh." Butler Liu Qi nodded.
"Hey, Brother Xiahou, this is the time of my life and death in Taiping, and it's time for the whole body to fight against the Japanese outside. Those who spread rumors, their hearts are to be punished. If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. If you have such a black sheep, you will live." Trouble. Who spread such rumors to slander this official, please brother Xiahou tell Brother Yu."
Wang Zhixian looked like he was thinking about the Taiping Yuwa plan, and said sincerely to Xiahou County Prime Minister.
"Ahem, I just went out of the city and fought with the Japanese pirates for a while. Maybe the official got it wrong and misunderstood the county magistrate, so I asked the county magistrate to come down." Xiahou county magistrate took the matter to himself and pleaded guilty to the magistrate Wang road.
"It turns out that I heard it wrong. It's okay, it's okay. Brother Xiahou is also thinking about my peace. What is the crime? Just now, my brother said that he went out of the city and fought with Japanese pirates for a while. How was the battle? Did you get injured? North gate, east gate The door still relies on the virtuous brother to preside over the defense, the virtuous brother must not be so reckless and put himself in danger."
Wang Zhixian asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just some flesh wounds, it's nothing to worry about. At that time, it was the Japanese pirates showing off their power. I was afraid that my morale would be damaged, so I called thirty-two heroes out of the city to kill the enemy. Fortunately, we did not disgrace our fate. We killed eleven Japanese pirates. Viciously killed the prestige of the Japanese pirates." Xiahou County Cheng quickly replied.
"Okay! My brother is brave and brave, and I will not fall into the name of my ancestors!" Hearing this, Wang Zhixian was full of praise for Xiahou County Prime Minister.
"Ashamed, ashamed, we beat the few with more, and by surprise, we lost eight people. We should not be appreciated by the county lord."
Xiahou County Prime Minister shook his head and said.
"The Japanese pirates are brave and fearless, and they are invincible. Brother Yu was able to kill eleven Japanese pirates, and his side only lost eight people. It is very good. Only my younger brother killed eleven Japanese pirates. Brother Yu was afraid that the Japanese pirates would retaliate and attack the North Gate. The north gate still needs a virtuous brother to preside over the Japanese pirates, and brother Yu will work together to make a contribution to the virtuous brother." Wang Zhixian patted Xiahou County Cheng on the shoulder, and said to Xiahou County Cheng with the overall situation in mind.
"What the county lord said is very true. The official almost missed a major event. The official misunderstood the county lord. How can I have the face to ask for credit. Thank you, the county lord, for not remembering the villain's mistakes. Take care of the county lord. The next official went to the north gate to host Defensively gone."
The prime minister of Xiahou County was concerned about the defense of the North Gate, worried that the Japanese pirates would retaliate and attack the North Gate, so he left with his hands.
