Chapter 285, Assassination, Escape, Captain
The mother and son did not show much excitement when they met, but more with a sad calmness.
Zhang Chunhua rarely didn't make any noise, just hugged his son and couldn't stop sobbing. Sima Zhao kept comforting his mother, while Sima Yi stood aside, crossed his arms, and looked at the hand in front of him
It was so quiet that it lasted for half an hour before this peace was broken. The servants in the mansion came to ask for today's dinner, and Sima Yi specially ordered to prepare a sumptuous meal. My son has just arrived, and I have to pick him up.
The place to eat is not in the room, nor in the lobby. There is a special dining hall in the house, which is a custom that has been preserved from the previous castle.
It is used to remind yourself that you have been in the war, you can't forget the soldiers under your hands, and you can't be too immersed in the desire of your tongue.
The family of three sat together, and no one mentioned Sima Shi. When you're happy, you shouldn't think about things that make you unhappy. Happiness is a very short-lived emotion and should not be negatively affected.
Wine and delicacies are served on the table in turn, and the waiter retreats from the dining hall after pouring the wine.
Sima Yi raised his glass and said, "It's very rare to get together today, and let's have a drink first." ”
Cheng Ji on the beam swallowed his saliva, and he couldn't suppress his hunger, so he hid on the beam all night, and finally waited for the Sima family.
The fast horse prepared by Cao Chao was faster than the ghost pawn who was unwilling to go on a business trip, and yesterday when the sun had not yet set, the two of them returned to the north courtyard first. Then Cheng Ji took advantage of the night to sneak into Jincheng and find all the way to the canteen of the city lord's mansion.
His target is still Sima Zhao, and there has been no change in the slightest. There is still a risk of breaking the law in Yan Jun City, but in Beiting, as long as you run fast enough, there will be no problems.
Ever since he died, Cheng Ji has been practicing two things, one is assassination and the other is escape. Cao Chao trained him to be a killer, a supreme killer.
The moment Sima Zhao's wine glass was put down, Cheng Ji hung upside down from the beam of the room, and one piece penetrated his throat.
With a muffled snort, Sima Zhao leaned back weakly and fell to the ground heavily.
"Zhao'er!"
"Zhao'er!
Cheng Ji wanted to make up for another sword, but saw that Sima Yi had already rushed over, and hurriedly returned to the beam. took a sword and stabbed it on the top of his head, and he made a big hole, crawled out of the big hole, and Cheng Ji disappeared into the night without looking back.
When Sima Yi climbed to the roof, all he could see was the moon that had just risen, and the stars that were beginning to shine.
"Chengji, I swear not to break with you!"
The voice echoed throughout the mansion, declaring Sima Yi's anger, which fell on Cheng Ji's ears and became worthless. Emotions have no value in themselves, and what can make them valuable is how much a person is willing to pay for this emotion.
Sima Yi is naturally willing to pay a price for his anger, but what's the use, he will never kill Luoyang City, he can't hide. Under weak strength, it is impossible to achieve a sufficiently advantageous position. This is the simplest truth, but many people, even if they die, still don't understand.
Cao Chao met him outside the mansion with an extra fast horse. Cheng Ji tumbled down from the courtyard wall and landed straight on the horse's back.
"Your Majesty, a sword pierces the throat and does not disgrace the mission. ”
"Okay, let's go, let's get out of the city right away. ”
"The city gate is closed, how can I get out of the city?
"It's okay, I've bought a lieutenant to guard the gates, and he'll send us down in a hanging basket. Don't call me Your Majesty for a while, he and I are being hunted down by the enemy, but don't show your stuffing. ”
Two people and two horses, stepping through the silence of the night. Hundreds of horsemen and thousands of troops rushed out from the hidden place of the City Lord's Mansion.
Sima Zhao was still in pain, and the pain was indescribable. The smell of a sword piercing the throat was completely different from when it was pierced into the heart, not the tearing pain, but a stinging pain like a pinprick. There was also a burning sensation that made this stinging pain continue to heat up.
If this is counted, hasn't he already died twice in the few days he has been dead? Difu is really a wonderful place, and he can taste the taste of death. This taste is so real, and the real is somewhat illusory.
Zhang Chunhua was crying, holding his son and crying. It's all power doing weird, it's all desire doing ghosts. When I was born, I offended too many people and made too many hatreds, and the hatred before my life was implicated in the days after death, and it was difficult to live in peace.
She felt the horror of iron and blood, and imagined the pain of the sword piercing into her body. Why can the emperors of the Han family let go of all kinds of desires and live quietly in Chang'an. And why fight over things that your husband and son can't fight, except for the pain that can't see the end, what else can you get? Nothing, it's all empty.
The Lieutenant never felt that he would be free, and he could always find something for himself to fill. The boring life needs stimulation to adjust, and fake public fat and private are a enough exciting thing.
A competent officer, a money-hungry courtier. In fact, there has never been any conflict between the two, and the captain has handled both images very well.
When facing Sima Zhao, he was wise and diligent. When facing Cao Chao, he was treacherous and cunning.
"One hundred local money, it's easy to chat, give money to do things!"
Cao Chao nodded, took the money bag from his waist, and threw it to the lieutenant. Said: "This is three hundred local government money, don't look for it, don't leak our news, our enemies are very powerful." ”
The lieutenant put the money bag in his hand and was stingy, quite heavy. The young man in front of him is a rich customer.
"Well, it's also a sin for me to let you out of the city late at night, so you can rest assured. If you need it in the future, you can come back to me. As long as the price is enough, anything is fine. ”
"You're so greedy for money, why don't you change your place? Jincheng's monthly money is not high, why don't you go to Chang'an or Luoyang?"
"Haha, other places are too strict, and it's not easy to make money without this. I love being a soldier, but I don't love discipline. It's only been a hundred years in the underworld, so why make yourself so tired and relaxed?"
Cao Chao smiled: "Du Wei is really a wise man, but unfortunately, not everyone can be like Du Wei." ”
"So, there are still a lot of fools in the world, everyone can easily live in the underworld, but they have to toss blindly, just toss themselves, but they have to affect others, and it is not easy for everyone. Let's go, I'll send you out. But ......."
"But what? Is it possible to sit on the ground and raise the price?"
Du Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm not that kind of person, the most important thing in doing business is to be undeceiving." I just want to have limited space in the hanging basket, so I can only send people away, not horses, and you two horses have to take care of it. ”
"That's good!" Cheng Ji drew his sword and stabbed it into the buttocks of each of the two horses. The horse neighed and ran into the night.
The lieutenant pursed his lips and said, "It's a pity, you can't sell it to me!
"Sell it to you, that will only cause you trouble. Let's go, you have to hurry up, and the enemy will catch up in a while. ”
The lieutenant led them to the city, and met many guards on the way, but they did not see it. It was obviously not the first time the Lieutenant had done such a thing, and his business had become a very common business here.
The hanging basket was in a corner of the city wall, sandwiched between two torches, and it was a little bright, but it was not clear from a distance. Cao Chao and Cheng Ji sat down in the basket, and the lieutenant and his accomplices sent them down to the city.
Two quarters of an hour later, Sima Yi led the people and chased them to the city gate along the traces. The second son of the city lord was assassinated, and he ordered the lieutenant to strengthen the martial law at the city gate and not let anyone go.
When the lieutenant received the order, he trembled slightly, but he still stabilized his mood swings.
He said to his subordinates: "Call up all the resting men, and all the people will go up to the city wall to watch! ”
There is no mistake
