Chapter 427 Then Report to the Netherworld
Chapter 427 Then Report to the Netherworld
It seems that Northern Qi is about to fall into chaos.
Once Situ Lian's affair is exposed, the Northern Qi court will surely be in turmoil again. The Northern Qi emperor has been planning for Situ Lian for many years and has exhausted all his efforts. This time, it is estimated that there will be no turning point.
After all, the Northern Qi prince could be weak, soft-hearted, or even incompetent, but he could never be a pervert or a devil who liked to torture and kill children.
The Northern Qi emperor kept this matter a secret, not a single word of it leaked out. Now, it was difficult to deal with. If he continued to protect it, it would surely chill the hearts of all the officials and the people. As an emperor with a brain, he would definitely not do such a thing.

Another day passed, and Duanmu Huo was eating meat and drinking wine in a particularly good mood.
"A-Sang, Chu Chenfeng will be here tomorrow, you have to keep a close eye on him."
"Don't worry, General. Everything has been arranged. We have arranged people to guard a hundred miles away. If you find anything wrong, report it immediately."
Duan Muhuo nodded in satisfaction, "That county magistrate, is he still behaving himself?"
"Behave yourself. I have tried it several times and found no problem. Besides, his children are still in our hands. I don't think he would dare to do anything, otherwise... hehehe."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I can rest assured."
Asan was delighted. How could he not be happy to have the master's trust? Then he thought of something else, "Master, the people from Northern Qi haven't arrived yet, right..."
"Hey!" Duanmu Huo drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and smacked his lips. This wine was not as strong as their Simon's, and it was watery and tasteless. "We don't need to worry about this. They will definitely be here tonight. Besides, we can capture Chu Chenfeng without the help of Northern Qi."
Duanmu Huosi was unwilling to cooperate with Northern Qi. They did almost nothing, just sent some experts and wanted to get a piece of the pie. Humph, it's a nice thought. I don't know what his father thinks, probably because he is old and has become timid.
Asan was still a little panicked. Who among the Simon people didn't know Chu Chenfeng's name? He had been the general's old enemy for many years. The general had lost countless battles at his hands. Especially since Chu Chenfeng was still so young, their general... ah.
Duanmu Huo took another big bite of the roast chicken and continued, "He Chu Chenfeng is so good at pretending and he loves the people so much. If he dares to move, I will kill the people. I don't believe that if I really slaughtered everyone in this town, would he be able to keep his title of the undefeated god of war."
Asan hesitated, "Didn't the general say that we shouldn't kill people indiscriminately?"
Duanmu Huo glanced at him and said, "What's the point of killing him now? You don't think that this general can really listen to the county magistrate's nonsense, hahahaha. Such an idiot, you still want to negotiate with this general?"
"You don't want to win without wasting a single soldier, right? Then letting him poison is indeed the best way."
"It's a good idea, and I am happy with it. But if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. We have plenty of bargaining chips."
Duanmu Huo showed a bloodthirsty smile, "If possible, this general wants to fight Chu Chenfeng on the battlefield. But my father... Humph."
Asang glanced at him and said nothing. In fact, he was General Duanmu Qing's man, and he stayed beside the young general just to watch him and prevent him from doing anything wrong.
The young general seemed to be overconfident. The regent of Daqing was no match for the general, let alone him.
In the hall, besides the two people, there was only one maid, who was brought by Duanmu Huo from Simon. So she spoke without any scruples.
Yingyi on the roof did not change his expression at all. Duanmu Huo was not a good person to begin with. So Yingyi did not find any decision he made strange.
He didn't know whether all the people had been evacuated, but he knew that this matter couldn't be rushed. Once the Simons were alerted, it would be difficult to deal with.
However, County Magistrate Fang and his family can no longer stay here.
Yingyi gestured in a direction, and the leaves over there shook slightly, then soon returned to calm.
Suddenly, two people came in hurriedly. "General, it's bad. Someone is secretly evacuating the people. Almost all of them have been evacuated. Our people ran into them. It seems that they are heading to the abandoned mine."
"What?" Duanmu Huo kicked the table in front of him, "Who is it? Could it be Chu Chenfeng is here?"
Ah Sang stepped forward and said, "Impossible. Our people have not sent any news yet. We have arranged for subordinates to be stationed a hundred miles away, eighty miles away, fifty miles away, and thirty miles away. It is impossible that there is no news at all. It must not be his people."
Duanmu Huo glared, "What's the situation now? Someone must have sneaked in. You," Duanmu Huo casually pointed at a young general who came to report the news, "you take 10,000 troops to the mine and kill them for me. No matter who they are, leave no one alive."
The young general was startled and asked, "Kill the civilians too?"
"Kill!" Duanmu Huo's face was full of ferocity. "If you dare to play tricks under my nose, then let them experience my wrath. Humph, if you don't want to live, then report to the underworld."
"Yes!"
Just as the young general was about to leave, another person came hurriedly.
"Report!"
"General, in the abyss at the edge of town, two groups of unidentified people are fighting. They are all experts, and our people can't even get close to them."
Duanmu Huo and Asang looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes. The cooperation with Northern Qi and the fact that Northern Qi sent experts to assist in the assassination of Chu Chenfeng were all confidential. Only he and Asang knew about it, and none of the people below knew about it.
Now it turns out...
Duanmu Huo picked up the long knife beside him and was about to go and check, but he had just drunk some wine and was a little drunk, so he could not even walk steadily.
This Daqing wine is different from Simon's strong liquor. It tastes soft at first, but it has a strong aftertaste. Duanmu Huo drank two jars without caring about anything. Now he can see double when he sees people.
Asan hurriedly helped him up, "General, what's wrong with you?"
"I..." Duanmu Huo shook his head, "I feel dizzy. What's going on?"
Asan glanced at the two empty jars and cursed him in his heart, "What a fool! It's such a late hour, and he's still drinking so much." Oh, it's also my fault, why didn't I stop him?
"You've had too much to drink, haven't you?"
"Drunk?" Duanmu Huo hesitated. "This wine is very light. How could I have drunk too much?"
Asan was anxious. What should he do now?
As a result, at this time, the people he had arranged to guard fifty miles away came to report the news.
"Report! General, Daqing's army is already fifty miles away. According to the time, it is less than twenty miles away now."
Click! Duanmu Huo was so shocked that he even sobered up, "How...how could it be so soon? Isn't it tomorrow?"
