Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 549: Exploded!

  Chapter 549 exploded!

  On February 18th, Song Lang’s Northwest Army first arrived at Liao County, less than twenty miles away from Pengcheng.

  Fu Fengcheng and Lou Lanzhou’s soldiers and horses were also not far away. Sun Jiajun’s territory was getting smaller and smaller. The original army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers was too deadly to run down, and they ended up in a disastrous way.

  Song Lang did not rush to attack Pengcheng after arriving in Liao County, but stopped in Liao County to rest and wait for the arrival of Lou Lanzhou and Fu Fengcheng.

At this time, Pengcheng was in chaos. The generals and officials under Sun Liang no longer ignored Sun Liang’s deterrence. Those who could run took possession of their belongings, and those who consciously didn’t need to run also hid at home behind closed doors. Nothing, there is absolutely no meaning to struggle for the foundation of Governor Sun.

  Not to mention ordinary people. The streets are so chaotic these days that most ordinary people dare not go out. Pengcheng, which was originally quite lively, became empty and dead, and there were only countless soldiers and horses lining up to wait for the atmosphere to condense.

  Faced with these situations, Sun Liang was unable to manage.

  He knows that the situation is over, but now he can't do it if he surrenders to those people. Because he knew in his heart that even if he surrendered, no one would let him go, whether it was the cabinet military department or the Song family of the Fu family. Since everything is dead, why doesn't he seek a way to survive for himself?

  So, facing the subordinates who came to ask him to make a decision, Sun Liang still gritted his teeth and ordered to defend Pengcheng.

  But everyone knows well, what is the point of defending Pengcheng without reinforcements? The general who had just received such an order walked out of the study and glanced back at the closed study door behind him, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.

  "Marshal, Mrs. Fu Shao, please." In the headquarter of Liao County, Song Lang was rarely sitting in the study and reading, and the guard outside the door told him.

  Song Lang immediately put down the free book in his hand and stood up, "Madam Fu? She has already arrived in Pengcheng? Please come in soon."

Everyone under Song Lang knew that Mrs. Fu Shao was, after all, a good friend of his own wife and a young man, and a life-saver to his marshal, so she was very polite and courteous to Leng Sa. Leng Sa was invited into the Flower Hall respectfully and saw Song Lang sitting there waiting for her.

   Seeing her come in, Song Lang immediately stood up to greet her, "Madam Fu, don’t come here without any problems?"

   Lengsa smiled, "Song Shao don’t come here unscathed. During this period of time, Song Shao and the Northwest Army have been invincible all the way to attack the city and plunder, which is admirable. Congratulations to Song Shao."

  Song Lang waved his hand and said, "What am I? Brother Fu is better in terms of record. Please sit down."

  The guest and host were seated and served refreshments. Song Lang asked curiously, "Did the young lady just arrived in Pengcheng?"

  Leng Sa shook his head and said: "It's been a few days, and I've been in the city these days."

  Song Lang understood after a second thought, "Madam Young is for that batch of gold?"

   Lengsa nodded and said, "Yes, what clue is there for Song Shao?"

Song Lang shook his head and said, "We just felt that, I also sent someone to check it. There is no news at the moment. There is only one thing. In the past two months, there must be no one to transport a large amount of gold out of the west." The closer the border, the more chaos. The same goes for the southwest side. There were mixed people in black and white near the border. Sun Liang wanted to transport so much gold out of the country. It is unlikely that these people would not take care of them, and it would be impossible for them to not miss a trace of the wind at all.

  Song Lang grew up in the northwest, and he did not deal with black and white. He was also familiar with many people in the southwest.

   Leng Sa said: "So, that batch of gold should still be near Pengcheng." There is no west, and the other directions are even more difficult.

  But as Song Lang said, it is almost impossible to transport a full one million taels of gold silently. So... what method does Sun Liang plan to use to transport things away?

  Song Lang looked at Leng Sa, "Madam Young is here at this time, is there any news?"

Leng Sa did not hide it, nodded and said, "Yes, we just got news that the lot of gold was transported to a small village near Liao County after leaving Pengcheng. I sent someone to investigate, and the village was indeed a little bit Question. My people sneaked in and found a lot of heavily armed men and horses hidden inside. The original people in the village may have been controlled by them. Every day, only a few people work outside, and the whereabouts of all the others are unknown."

  Song Lang's face darkened, "Madam Young wants me to cooperate in taking down that village?"

   Lengsa smiled, “I do want to borrow a few people from Song Shao, but I’m not in a hurry. I want to make sure that the batch of gold is still there. I just need Song Shao’s help to watch and don’t let the people inside run away.

   Song Lang graciously agreed, "What is the young lady talking about? I will send someone nearby to stare."

  Leng Sa said a place name, Song Lang thought about it, and he invited the adjutant to give him a map.

  After a while, Song Lang’s adjutant came over with a map, and Song Lang quickly found the place Leng Sa said on the map.

   stared at the map for a while, before Song Lang asked, "Madam, do you think Sun Liang would take the gold away by water?"

"Huh?" Leng Sa was a little surprised. "The waterway is not safe, right?" The waterways from the southwest all lead to the six southern provinces. Even if Sun Liang was unloading and disembarking the ship halfway, he would not go to the hinterland of Anxia. What a good thing.

Song Lang said, "Look at the outside of this village. This river is a tributary of the Hejiang River. It just bends in this place. Moreover, it is not far from the Hejiang main waterway. Nearby is the largest wharf near Pengcheng, where you enter and exit every day. There are many ships. If I were Sun Liang, I would consider hiding the gold in batches of foreign companies’ merchant ships or ships that are least noticeable, and set off directly from Hejiang all the way to sea.”

  Leng Sa didn’t expect this possibility, so he felt his chin and thought, “Can Sun Liang be relieved with such a large sum of money?”

  Song Lang smiled, “I don’t know this, maybe there is someone he trusts the most, or maybe he has to take risks? It would be strange for him to choose such a place if he didn’t take things away by water.”

  Indeed, this place is not far from Pengcheng, or near, and it is not very convenient to the roads leading to all sides. It does not seem to be a suitable place for transshipment.

  Leng Sa thought for a while, and said: "Let’s check Sun Liang’s relationship with those shipping companies first?"

  Song Lang smiled and said nothing, but Leng Sa had already stood up, "Song Shao, let you use the telegram."

  Song Lang said clearly, "Looking for Wei Changxiu?" In this regard, it is indeed the most appropriate to find Wei Changxiu.

   Leng Sa said: "Now I really have to trouble Wei to be in charge."

  Wei’s family was still sadly trapped in the Nile wars. Even if Fu Fengcheng sent Xia Weian, one of his three lieutenants, to assist him, he could not heal the injuries suffered by Wei’s family.

  Holding the telegram that he had just received, before Master Wei had time to express his opinion, the sound of an explosion outside made his hands tremble.

  Xia Wei'an glanced calmly outside the window and said, "It's fighting again. Don't worry, Master Wei, you can't get here."

   "..." Wei Master was speechless.

  Since the Seventeenth Army returned to the Nile regardless of King Nile’s order last year, and found that his son had been killed by the king and his family was imprisoned, Sanha directly exploded, and the two sides fought a fierce battle.

  The place where they are now is the second largest city in the Nile, which is currently occupied by Sanha’s Seventeenth Army. But the king's army is not vegetarian, and the two sides have been fighting offensive and defensive battles for the city for almost a month. Not to mention the countless casualties every day, the entire city is about to be blasted into ruins.

   Even Master Wei, who is cold-hearted and demanding for money, couldn’t help sighing and committing evil in this scene.

   "Your elders and youngsters have really committed a sin." Wei Changxiu said, fiddle with a string of rosary beads on his wrist.

  Xia Wei'an didn't take it seriously, and calmly said, "Master Wei, we didn't do anything."

  Wei Changxiu snorted softly, "If he doesn't do anything, he will be like this. If he does something, the Nile will not destroy the country."

Xia Wei'an said, "The young man just wants to drive the Nile people out of Anxia at the least cost, and it is best for them not to infringe on the territory of Anxia. As for this war... it is not the young man who forced them, but they themselves. I want to fight." What's wrong with defending the land and defending the country?

  In Xia Wei'an's view, the young and old are simply peerless geniuses.

  Nile people are very miserable, but what does it matter? He is from Anxia, ​​the Nile people want to invade them, and they haven't sent troops across the border to retaliate against the Nile people.

   Glancing at the message in Wei Changxiu's hand, Xia Wei'an reminded, "Master Wei, Mrs. Shao's message, don't you reply first?"

Wei Changxiu looked at the telegram in his hand amidst the rumble of gunfire in the distance, and said: "Sun Liang really has a big appetite. A ship that can go out from the southwest...and it's easy to hide things and won't be checked all the way? let me see……"

  Wei Changxiu took out a pen while thinking about it and wrote on the back of the message, “There are so many two, and there are probably not many people who can have the patience and courage. Let them check it slowly.”

  When Chief Weixiu finished writing, Xia Weian took a look at the names of the two shipping companies and several merchant ships that were written on them, and nodded, “Thank you, Master Wei, I’ll send it to Mrs. Young.”

  Chief Wei Xiu leaned in the chair and propped his chin, "Actually, Sun Liang wants to be transported, so he will be transported. When the ship arrives in Jiangcheng, he will be detained directly. It will save you trouble."

   Xia Wei'an said, "Master Wei, this is the financial inventory of Southwest." Without them, don't they have to add to it. After the Southwest war, it will be restored without money? Could it really make the Southwest mess up?

  Wei Changxiu curled his lips and instantly lost interest.

  "Boss, the King of Nile has sent an emissary." A Nile-like man hurried in outside the door and walked to Wei Changxiu's side and said in a low voice.

  Chief Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, "The King's Secret Envoy? What can I do for you?"

  The man said, "He said he wanted to buy a batch of arms from the boss."

  Wei Changxiu sat up, and smiled at Xia Weian in casual clothes, "I'm here for business, but I didn't expect the king to come to buy things with me? Doesn't he know that I have a deal with Sanha?"

   Xia Wei’an said: "I should know, because I know, so..."

  The head guard is cultivating, "He wants to win me?"

Xia Wei'an said, "The current situation on the king's side is not very good." Wei Dangjia has now become one of the largest imported weapons suppliers in the Nile. If he can fall to the king, Sanha will naturally have access to weapons. Blocked.

   "Master Wei doesn't want to trade with King Nile?"

  Wei Changxiu glanced at him, "Why don't you make money if you have money? Let's invite people in."

  At this moment, Master Wei is an unsentimental weapon supplier.

  On February 20, the army of Fu Fengcheng and Lou Lanzhou also arrived near Pengcheng, and Pengcheng surrounded on three sides and became an isolated city.

  In the conference room, Fu Fengcheng, Song Lang and Lou Lanzhou sat together again, and Leng Sa also sat leisurely beside Fu Fengcheng, listening to their plans.

"The three generals under Sun Liang have contacted us privately. They are ready. They can take the Warlord's Mansion and capture Sun Liang alive with a single order." Lou Lanzhou said, "If everything goes well, the war in the southwest will happen soon. It will be over."

   Song Lang lazily played with the saber in his hand and said, "I always feel that it's not going well."

  Lanzhou was puzzled, "how do you say?"

Song Lang pondered for a moment, "What do you mean by that sentence? Hundred-legged insects die but are not stiff. I always feel that Sun Liang's scourge is easy to cause damage for thousands of years, and not that easy to die..." A death word is still on his lips. At the same time, I heard an earth-shattering explosion from a distance.

  The sound was so loud that even the tea cups on the table in front of them shook.

"what happened?"

  Fu Fengcheng said solemnly: "It's Pengcheng direction."

  Song Lang stood up abruptly and cursed in a low voice, "Could the one surnamed Sun be the one who wanted to drag the whole city to death, right?"

  Fu Fengcheng Road, "No."

  Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he added, "He doesn't have so many explosives."

  "..." Everyone was speechless.

  Everyone got up and walked out of the meeting room. Sure enough, they saw the direction of Pengcheng in the distance.

  Not only them, but everyone else was shocked by the explosion and rushed out, "What's the matter?! What happened?!"

  "The ammunition depot exploded?!"

  Fu Fengcheng frowned slightly, and said solemnly, "Fu Yucheng."

  Fu Yucheng immediately came forward, "Here!"

   "Check it out."

  Fu Yucheng didn't say much, just nodded his head and waved behind him. Several people quickly followed him, and they disappeared into the night.

  Not only the people outside the city, but also the people in the city at this time.

  After the huge explosion, Jiang Yu's hand that was drinking tea shook, and a cup of tea was poured directly onto his lap.

  An object fell from the cabinet behind him, if it hadn't been for Shang Feiyun to catch it, it would almost hit the back of his head.

   "What's the matter? There was an earthquake?"

  Shang Feiyun paled, only feeling a little tinnitus in his ears.

   grievedly said, "Have you ever seen such a loud earthquake? The Warlord’s Mansion exploded...exploded, exploded?"

  The two walked quickly to the window, opened the window and looked over. Sure enough, they saw the blazing flames in the direction of the Warlord’s Mansion, and there were even explosions in the fire. The small buildings in the Warlord’s Mansion that they could see from standing here have collapsed and disappeared without a trace.

   "It's awful!" Jiang Yu said, "Those people..."

  Those who had fallen towards them said that they were planning to take down the Warlord’s Mansion and capture Sun Liang alive before surrendering. Are they all killed now?

  Shang Feiyun grabbed him and tugged in, "Don't worry about those people, but care about yourself first. Let's evacuate first, and the fire will burn in a while."

  They are too close to the Warlord’s Mansion. It’s really lucky that they were not affected by the explosion. Pengcheng is full of old-style buildings. Don't leave without being bombed to death but burned to death.

   "Send a telegram to the younger ones first!"

  "……"

  At this time, Sun Liang was standing not far from the city gate. He watched the explosion that shocked the entire Pengcheng happily, and a cold and cheerful smile appeared in his eyes.

  Those people want to betray him, do they think he doesn’t know?

  Since you want to betray him, and want to rely on him to keep their prosperity and wealth, then all go to die.

  It's a pity... Guo Huai is not there.

  Thinking of Guo Huai, Sun Liang's eyes still had a wave of killing intent. If it weren't for Guo Huai's defection, how could he lose so fast?

  This one eats something inside and out!

  It’s okay, when he settles down, there are ways to take care of him.

   "Warlord." The young man next to Sun Liang was wearing a long coat like him, with a hat on his head covering half of his face, "We should go now."

  Sun Liang nodded and said, "Is it time to go, everything is arranged?"

  The young man nodded and said, "Everything has been arranged, but the warlord can rest assured."

  Sun Liang said with satisfaction, "That's good, let's go."

  Sun Liang did not bring any wives, concubines or children with him, and he was not so sad or guilty about this.

  Before the explosion, he sent all those ineffective sons out to do errands. This was already the greatest paternal love he could show.

  As for them to be like this in the future, they can only ask for their blessings. If it were Sun Rui back then, Sun Liang might still hesitate, but there is really no need to spend more thoughts on those few **** that can't be done.

  Sun Liang didn’t worry about anything. He wanted the child to be able to regenerate at any time, so there was no need to drag him down with a few burdens.

   Tightened the coat tightly around him, Sun Liang turned around without hesitation and hid himself in the shadow of the night.
