【77】Cooperation and win-win
Your second uncle... was also because of dealing with this matter, so he hid in the suburbs. He had already found a way to suppress Ji Cheng and other thieves... But unexpectedly, he died suddenly at the hands of thieves and bandits in the suburbs of Beijing... Little Langjun! Please fulfill the last wish of Langjun Ling, fulfill the lord's entrusted! Send troops to Hongnong! Save Deng from the water and fire!"
Deng Qing was frightened when he heard his remarks. He never expected that his grandfather would secretly join forces with King Ningzheng of Huai to eliminate the four major families of Lu, Yue, Murong and Lu.
Hongnong's Ji Cheng was dormant for many years and never appeared. If he had really had some skills... at the feet of the Emperor of Luoyang, then the things that happened back then would have been exposed. Your Majesty is a student of Master Lu. When the late emperor issued an order to destroy the family of Lu, Your Majesty also searched for evidence privately with the intention of proving Master Lu's innocence and stopping the order of the late emperor, but unfortunately it was not too late.
Deng Qing knew the seriousness of the matter and understood what his second uncle and grandfather were doing these days. The reason why Deng Ling hid in the plain village may be related to handling this matter. He actually... mistakenly thought that his second uncle was going to take action against him secretly... and was impatient.
Deng Qing's feet softened, and she staggered back two steps, and she burst into regret. At this moment, he regretted it. If he was slower, he could find out what Deng Ling was doing in the suburbs of Beijing. If he was not so anxious, he would not be so jealous of his second uncle... he would not immediately urge Zhou Yuanmo and even Zhan Po soldiers to launch...
What stupid thing did he do for the position of the head of the Deng family?
Seeing that his face was frightened and his expression was dull, Feng Youru stood up and urged, "Little Langjun... I'd like to make a decision as soon as possible! If it's late, I'm afraid that Hongnong's affairs will be unstoppable!"
Deng Qing forced himself to come back from his thoughts, turned around and looked at Feng Youru, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, Uncle Feng. Since it was my grandfather's explanation, I must have done it properly. Outside Luoyang City, there were 30,000 long-ming troops hiding and waiting. I sent a message to fly pigeons and ordered them to go with you to Hongnong and arrest Ji Cheng."
Feng Youru was overjoyed when he saw him agreeing, and bowed to him repeatedly and said, "Mr. Xie Xiaolangjun! With the 30,000 soldiers of Changming Army...Mr. I promise you and your lord that I will definitely defeat the Hongnong thieves' evil intentions to pieces, so that they will never threaten Deng again!"
Deng Qing nodded and showed off.
Feng Youru stopped staying and said to him: "I dare not delay here. Hongnong left the person for a moment and became more dangerous. He was about to return. The little husband... I said goodbye."
Deng Qing nodded again, saying no more.
He looked at Feng Youru hurriedly left Deng's mansion, his eyes darkened, and he walked to Deng Ling's mourning hall in a daze, looking at the coffin with black lacquer, and felt indescribable bitterness in his heart.
The words Deng Ling said before his death kept hovering in his mind, like a sharp blade shaving back and forth, shaving his heart and blood, and the pain was hard to suppress.
In the mourning hall, Deng Ling's wife Qiqiai Ai leaned against the lacquered wooden coffin, her face turned pale as snow. Deng Yuan even cried and was carried to the house for treatment. All of this tragedy...is caused by him.
According to the doctor who specifically diagnosed Deng Ling, Deng Ling's illness was already in a terminal state and there was no cure at all. There was not much left in time and he would pass away in two or three years at most.
Deng Guozhong has accepted this fact, and everyone in the Deng family knows about this.
Everyone was hoping that Deng Ling would hold on for a while. Only he wished... Deng Ling died earlier.
Now Deng Qing knows why the people in the clan have much greater expectations for Deng Ling than him. His second uncle... carries everyone in the Deng family and doesn't want him. He is prone to act recklessly for his own selfish interests.
He is indeed not qualified to own this position of head of the family.
Deng Qing did not enter the mourning hall, and left the corridor dejectedly and headed to his study. He accelerated his pace, thinking about what Feng Youru said just now, and wanted to write a letter. Liu Jing, who was guarding Luoyang City, immediately set off for Hongnong, and recalled half of the troops who escorted Zhou Yuanmo and Princess Feiyu, who left, and obeyed Feng Youru's orders and captured the left vanguard of Chang Mengjun alive.
At this time, Hongnong was already in trouble.
Ji Cheng led only 10,000 troops to disturb Hongnong County. Ning Nan had the control behind his back and joined forces with Jiang Chengyi to clearly guess the various defenses of the Hongnong City Army, surrounded by the edge points, and never took a step back. The Hongnong City Defense Force was completely unable to do anything. The Hongnong Prefecture Order took the lead in pursuing Ji Cheng, but he was always teased and was so angry that he still had to bite the bullet to fight.
Over time, he no longer had the strength to care about the fact that Student Su Ren had escaped with the money. Jiang Chengyi took this opportunity to chase him immediately and forced the prefect Hongnong to hand over the detailed investigation file. Following the clues he found and the traces of Lin Mu's private pursuit, he searched all the way, and finally found the hiding place of these people, and tried his best to catch them all.
Jiang Chengjia and Mu Yun assisted from the side, and the two men were like tigers to gain wings and had a complete advantage in a moment.
At night, four people gathered in the water pavilion in Hongnong's stronghold to discuss the remaining layout and exchange news from the border.
"The spy came to report that Feng Youru had led half of the troops of the third battalion of Changming's army to come to Hongnong. Tomorrow, a big battle will begin." Mu Yun told the news he had obtained.
Jiang Chengyi said: "This morning, I have confirmed where the spy sent by His Majesty to investigate the partridge is. In the Hongnong riot, they cannot travel, so there is no need to worry about these two people leaving the county town for the time being."
""In this way... I can feel at ease. Last night, Changming Army escorted Zhou Yuanmo and Feiyu out of the Luoyang border at night and entered Hongnong. Before dawn today, Shuige and Yegong Pavilion joined forces to temporarily detain them in Hongnong." Jiang Chengjia also reported good news, with joy and pleasure on his face.
Ning Nanyou clenched his fists and said with a deep face: "Just wait until the other half of his troops enter the city tomorrow, then things will be accomplished!"
Things went much smoother than they expected. Jiang Chengyi and Ning Nanyou came to Hongnong City less than two months ago and almost finished the matter. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is not needed. The dawn will be seen tomorrow.
The sky was deep, and the cold wind blew, and the wind blew to the north. The blue sky was covered by a layer of thick clouds, and rays of light shone out from the fish scales, reflecting on the county town of Hongnong, like the chaos when Pangu created the world, and very much like the scene when the earth was born.
