The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts

Chapter 224 Senior Brother Han Bei

The military supervisor Wang Quan was having lunch in the government office in Shuozhou City. The table was filled with delicious food that looked and smelled tempting, but what was even more tempting was the delicate beauty in his arms.

The beauty was the most popular prostitute in Yanfang Pavilion, the largest brothel in Shuozhou City. She was redeemed by a local Han tycoon at a high price and given to the military supervisor. Wang Quan took a liking to her at first sight and kept her in the government office.

Wang Quan also knew that it was not easy for a Han Chinese to become a wealthy man under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, but the beauty was so charming that he felt itchy at the sight of her, so the rest was not important. At most, he could give this wealthy man named Wang a little more convenience.

The beauty in his arms smiled sweetly as she picked up a piece of roast beef and put it into Wang Quan's mouth, "Sir, this part of the beef brisket is the most fragrant and tender. Would you like to try it and see if it tastes good?"

Wang Qian chewed the delicious and juicy beef, smiling with juice dripping from the corners of his lips and lustful light in his eyes, "It's delicious, and your lips are even more delicious, my beauty."

"My Lord, great news! Good news has come from Yingzhou City. The night before yesterday, the King of Qin and Yang Yanzhao led the shadow guards and military experts to attack the south gate of Yingzhou. Yingzhou has been taken!"

The aide Fang Cangshu's joyful report of victory made Wang Quan first surprised, and then shocked and angry!

Qin Wang Zhao Defang and Yang Yanzhao are so despicable. When I was supervising the battle in Yingzhou, they were lazy and afraid of fighting. They also humiliated and cursed me, so I returned to Shuozhou in disgrace. That night, they followed the clever plan I came up with and captured Yingzhou City.

Are you afraid that a great achievement will fall on the head of the military supervisor? Are you afraid that the fact that my military command ability is better than theirs will be known by the emperor? Such jealousy of talented people is really abominable!

Thinking of this, Wang Quan was so angry that he spat out the beef in his mouth, "Puh, Puh, Puh!"... all on the ground. It was as if the delicious braised beef in his mouth was the meat of the jealous and envious King Qin, which made him feel sick.

"Qin Wang Zhao Defang is greedy and lustful. I heard that he even brought his silly princess to the front line. I will severely report him in the memorial today!"

Fang Cangshu glanced at the delicate beauty in the arms of the military supervisor, and said in a flattering tone: "Your Excellency is right. The King of Qin is actually greedy for women. How could the generals who went to the Northern Expedition bring their wives or concubines with them?"

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the coldest time of the year. Two thousand elite Moyun cavalrymen and thirty thousand vanguard troops are resting in Yingzhou City. The thick Laba porridge is bubbling in the big iron pots in the military camp, and the aroma of the porridge is everywhere.

The victory of capturing three cities in ten days with little loss on the side raised the morale of the Song army. The soldiers held the bowls of hot porridge and chewed the hot cakes, talking happily, following the Qin King who was a master of military tactics and invincible in every battle to kill the enemy, it was a pleasure!

Cheng Wuya and several of his men also carried hot porridge and ate and drank silently in the corner of the tent. His status in the vanguard army was just a lieutenant, and the eleven masters of the Imperial City Division he brought with him were all ordinary soldiers around him.

In order to reduce the target, Wang Quan placed him in the vanguard army and made him inconspicuous. He did not lead many people. What was hateful was that on the first day of the siege, Qin Wang Zhao Defang actually sent his thousand-man team to be the first wave of death squads to attack the city, killing three of his men and injuring four. When the troops were called back, only four people around him were left intact.

In the fierce siege, the Liao army fought desperately, arrows rained down, rolling logs, thunder stones, and kerosene were poured down the city wall as if they were free. Afraid that the King of Qin who was supervising the battle from behind would notice the clues, these highly skilled agents of the Imperial City Department did not dare to make their movements too conspicuous. However, when people are avoiding danger in critical moments, their own skills will not be able to hide.

"Tonight, you guys should stay awake. I have to go out at midnight." Cheng Wuya ordered in a low voice. Three o'clock tonight was the time he and his senior brother Han Bei agreed to meet.

Several men looked alert and alert, not moving, and responded in a low voice. The mission had not even started yet, and they were used as cannon fodder by the King of Qin to attack the city, and seven of them were killed or injured. The remaining four were a little nervous.

At the second watch, Cheng Wuya, wearing a black nightgown, quietly left the barracks, dodged the patrol team in the barracks, jumped over the stone wall of the barracks, and his ghostly figure floated over the uneven roofs and headed towards the city wall.

After climbing over the city wall, we headed straight for a small hill three miles west of the city.

In front of a dilapidated temple on a small hill, silver moonlight sprinkled on the white snow. A slender black figure, with his hands behind his back, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, looking indescribably lonely, alienated, cold and aloof.

Cheng Wuya stopped thirty steps away and stood under a tree, silently looking at the figure that he had admired and envied since childhood. A gust of wind blew the snow on the branches, and the snow that had frozen into frost fell down. In the quiet valley, the howling of a lone wolf was heard, and the atmosphere was weird.

"You're here? The moonlight on Penglai Island is brighter, right? I wonder if it's snowing? Is the century-old plum tree on the mountain in bloom?"

The loneliness in the shadow's cold and clear voice was even more obvious, with a hint of homesickness, as if he was talking to the moon or talking to himself. His white hair was coated with a soft silver glow by the moonlight.

Cheng Wuya walked silently behind the man, bowed and said, "Hello, Senior Brother. Where did the immortals on Penglai Island come from? It's just a respectful name given to the mysterious island by the ignorant people around."

Han Bei turned around, and the eyes on his fair face looked even deeper in the night.

: "Wuya, is power and wealth in this turbid world really that good?"

: "Big Brother, if you learn the arts of literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor, a man with ambition, power and wealth will not have come to this world in vain!

Big Brother, you are extremely talented, a martial arts prodigy, and the master's most proud disciple. You have practiced this extraordinary martial arts since you were young, but you hide in the mountains and forests and don't eat the fireworks of the world. What's the meaning of life?

Your extraordinary Kung Fu has already entered the ranks of Grand Masters. If you are willing to enter the world and serve the emperor, you will definitely be in a noble position above millions of people." Cheng Wuya advised unwillingly.

: “It goes without saying that everyone has their own aspirations, and none of us can change anyone else’s mind.

This time I came out of the mountain because you invited me to help you avenge Master. After killing Zhao Defang and Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, I have repaid Master for teaching me martial arts."

Cheng Wuya had mixed feelings about his master Xuan Yinzi, who loved, annoyed and hated his eldest senior brother Han Bei who had betrayed the sect. Seeing that his idea of ​​persuading him to be his assistant and supporter was impossible to realize, he had to give up the idea.

"Okay! Second and third brothers are still imprisoned in Kunlongtan on the island. To avenge Master, only the two of us can work together. I have a chance of defeating the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, but I can only rely on you to deal with Zhao Defang. I will let you know when I find a chance."

Han Bei didn't say anything, just nodded, turned around, and listened to the wind and admired the moon.

Cheng Wuya bowed to his back, then turned and left.
