Chapter 452: Verbal Sword
The morning sun passes through the thick clouds, like thousands of golden red dragon scales, dazzling and obliquely hanging on the tall and vicissitudes of Luoyang's city wall. The faces of the people standing at the head of the city were painted a blurred golden red.
More than 1,000 soldiers and horses lay silently under Luoyang City, without the slightest sound and restlessness, only the morning breeze whistling the flags, only the armor and soldiers reflecting the morning light, slightly revealing a subtle and ferocious killing intent, enough to make everyone on the city wall recall the killing that happened on this land not long ago.
Mu Shan, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun stood side by side at the gate of the city, quietly waiting for the moment when the quaint and thick gate would slowly open.
Listening to the faint accusations coming from the city, Mu Shan smiled contemptuously: "What are you thinking about that group of families who have no integrity and no shame at the moment?" ”
"It's nothing more than that after we surrendered, Luoyang fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo, what should they do?" Zhang Liao said unhappily: "For them, interests are always the first place, and who becomes the emperor is not a problem at all." ”
Lu Bu said in annoyance: "A group of noisy flies, sooner or later, I want them to pay enough for these days on the wall!" ”
The "......click" closed city wall made a slight sound, and then slowly recessed inward, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to pass through.
Li Su, who carried Ding Yuan's head into the city to report, soon appeared between the gaps, and said in a loud voice: "Fengxian, and this General Mu, the Taishi has invited two people to come in to talk!" ”
Mu Shan and Lu Bu glanced at each other, although they were speechless, but each other's meanings couldn't be clearer.
"The two generals, the Taishi is very important to the two of them, and they will soar in the future, please take care of them!"
When passing by Li Su's side, hearing his flattering voice, Mu Shan's heart swelled with a wave of disgust and disgust for no reason, and he wanted to cut off his head now.
“…… Certain! Lu Bu stared at Li Su deeply, a rare smile appeared on his face, and Mu Shan was slightly surprised, but after coming back to his senses, Mu Shan couldn't help but smile toothy, he knew Lu Bu very well, and understood that he was already killing in his heart at the moment, but he was afraid that after Dong Zhuo's death for a while, the first person he would take to sacrifice the flag would be this Li Su.
The door behind him slowly closed again, and in that instant, Mu Shan seemed to feel that the door was closed, not only the more than a thousand soldiers and horses outside the city, but also the world before that was happy and hateful, love and hate!
Along the way, although Mu Shan and Lu Bu were not interested in talking, Li Su still kept putting on almost, all the world, big and small, anecdotes, all of which were at his fingertips, and his vision was insightful, which made Mu Shan a little admired.
Coming to He Jin's mansion again, recalling what happened a few days ago, Mu Shan felt a faint pain in his heart, if he hadn't been in a hurry to leave at that time, if he could have killed Dong Zhuo at that time, maybe Lord Ding wouldn't have been assassinated, right?!
Li Su turned over and dismounted, led the way, and said: "Although the Taishi is a great opportunity, but when he learned that the two of them came to surrender to Cheng, he still put aside the affairs of the court and the central government, and deliberately waited in the mansion!" ”
The flowers and plants planted in the mansion had been destroyed in the battle a few days earlier, and the vast courtyard was only a ruined rockery and a pond without koi fish, where it was lonely and desolate.
"Hey, Dong Fatzi's courage is not small, even if he knows our ability, he didn't ambush soldiers and horses in the mansion." Mu Shan looked around, not noticing the slightest sign of hiding soldiers, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "I really don't know whether to praise him for his courage or say that he is stupid!" ”
"General Mu, you can't say that, Taishi is a sincere heart......
"Humph!" Lu Bu's nostrils let out a muffled sound, turned his head and stared at Li Su viciously, then shook his cloak and sped up to keep up with Mu Shan's footsteps.
"You, you are going to ......" Until now, even if Li Su is stupid, he can see the intentions of Mu Shan and Lu Bu.
As soon as he entered the hall, Mu Shan saw Ding Yuan's head placed on the desk in the middle, the corners of his mouth twitched, his whole body trembled slightly, and then he walked into the hall quickly, and his right hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword to ward off evil spirits.
"Two, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Dong Zhuo, who was behind the case, stared at Mu Shan and Lu Bu with wide eyes, and said, "Ding Yuan wasn't killed by you, right?!" ”
Lu Bu strode forward, his fists clenched loudly, and the Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand paused heavily on the ground, and reprimanded angrily: "Fat pig, you made someone assassinate Lord Ding, and you dare to pretend to be confused here, you are dying, what tricks do you want to play!" ”
"Bastard, Lao Tzu has always dared to do things, I did it, Lao Tzu will never shirk it, I didn't do it, you just want to deduct basin on Lao Tzu's head, Lao Tzu will not let you get your wish!"
Dong Zhuo suddenly slapped the case, shook the heads of the people on the table and jumped slightly, stood angrily, looked directly at Mu Shan, and said: "You touched your conscience and said, in Luoyang City that day, who were the soldiers and horses of Xiliang who slashed and killed the heads of good people and used them as bandits to invite merit everywhere?" Lao Tzu was born in the cold land of the West, the family of Weimo, he knew the hardships and difficulties of the common people, even if Lao Tzu's soldiers would starve to death and die of thirst, they would never dare to take the people's little bit of water and rice, because they all knew how Lao Tzu would deal with these people who disturbed the people! Wave after wave of unsettled, Luoyang has just calmed down, and now you want to accuse Lao Tzu of assassinating Ding Yuan, how much dirty water do you want to pour on Lao Tzu! ”
Being made such a fuss by Dong Zhuo, Mu Shan's confidence was a little lacking in an instant, after all, who were the Xiliang soldiers impersonating, he knew it, so he could only bypass the choked fish bone and said, "...... Dong Fatzi, don't worry about anything else, we are here to get justice for Lord Ding today! Do you dare to say that Lord Ding was not assassinated by you! ”
"Why don't you dare!" Dong Zhuo's fat body jumped out from the front of the case, stood in front of Mu Shan and Lu Bu without cowardice, and shouted loudly: "I know that you are here to kill me, you want to fight, even if you know that it is not your opponent, Lao Tzu will not retreat half a step." However, if you want to tarnish Lao Tzu's reputation with those trumped-up charges, even if Lao Tzu agrees, the Xiliang people under Lao Tzu will not agree! ”
Lu Bu strode forward, the sunlight shone in from outside the hall, and through the shadow cast by his burly body, Dong Zhuo's body was completely covered, and his domineering and high-spirited, like the sound of the golden bell ringing, completely suppressed Dong Zhuo's arrogance: "Fat pig, on the day of the feast of the princes, the lord and you quarreled, I wanted to kill you, it was your advisers, and threatened with the relatives of the lord, so we had to give in." Then the two armies fought, and they killed you to the point that you lost your armor and almost took your life, and a few days later, the adults were assassinated by his relatives, and you dare to say that you didn't do it! ”
"It's not!" In the face of Lu Bu's provocation and aggressiveness, Dong Zhuo still had no intention of retreating, and shouted fiercely: "Lao Tzu has sent Li Dao to lead troops to bypass you, occupy the Tiger Pass, cut off your retreat and grain route, just hold on for a few days, and then you will have no basis for advancing and retreating, and surrender will be a matter of time." What's more, if Lao Tzu has the ability to let Ding Yuan's relatives assassinate him, why would he send his beloved Chitu out and use a strategy to delay the army, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid! ”
