176 Rebellion
The group walked out of the death row of the Japanese army, and Zhuge Zheng and I were already waiting outside the door. And beside him, there was a man standing. This person is tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, although he is awe-inspiring but quite weathered, it is Xiao Feng!
It turned out that Xiao Feng refused the gold and silver official position rewarded by Yelu Jun after killing Yelu Hongji and assisting Yelu Jun to succeed to the throne, and in exchange for this, he asked Ye Lu Jun to stop publicizing Murong Fu's life experience and destroy all the evidence that Xiao Yuanshan dug up from the ancestral tomb of the Murong family. Yelujun thanked Xiao Feng for his kindness, and finally agreed to his request and let him leave Daliao.
Xiao Feng originally thought that he had finally resolved the crisis for Murong Fu, but as soon as he entered Yanmen Pass with Duan Yu, Jiang Changyun and others, he heard the news that Zhao Xu had been assassinated and Prime Minister Murong Fu had been arrested and imprisoned for attempting rebellion. Xiao Feng hurried back to Bianjing despite his old injuries, and the first one went to find Zhuge Zhengme, planning to discuss the prison robbery. Before the words came out, Zhuge Zheng and I brought him here and listened to all the conversations between Murong Fu and Su Shi outside the death row.
Seeing Xiao Feng appear here, Wang Yuyan was obviously taken aback. I saw her stand in place and take two deep breaths, then gradually calmed down, and stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xiao, my cousin once gave you an emerald ring back then. Its usefulness, presumably Mr. Xiao has also understood it now. Now that my cousin has had an accident, he has officially given Huitong Money to me. Huitong Money is willing to pay 10 million yuan to buy back this ring, can Mr. Xiao make it convenient? ”
Wang Yuyan's words are still gentle and polite, but they are a little less intimate. Xiao Feng naturally understood why Wang Yuyan's attitude changed suddenly, only to see him be silent for a while before asking in a low voice, "Can I keep it?" ”
Wang Yuyan looked at him and shook her head resolutely, and said neatly: "No!" ”
Xiao Feng obviously vaguely guessed Wang Yuyan's answer, so he sighed lightly, obediently took out the emerald ring from his arms and handed it over. "Miss Wang, the original ring will be returned, and 10 million yuan will be enough."
Who knew that Wang Yuyan took the ring and said: "Huitong Qianzhuang has always had clear accounts, this is what you deserve, Mr. Xiao doesn't have to refuse." ”
Wang Yuyan's two words that were neither yin nor yang finally made Xiao Feng angry, and couldn't help but say: "Miss Wang, the love between me and Murong is only afraid that you can't afford it!" ”
"What does your affection have to do with me?" Wang Yuyan coldly dropped a sentence, and then brushed her sleeves away.
With Wang Yuyan making such a fuss, the atmosphere immediately became embarrassing. But obviously being able to avoid communicating with Xiao Feng, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said goodbye to Zhuge Zheng and I left here.
It wasn't until the crowd walked away that Zhuge Zheng and I stepped forward and sighed: "Akashi's life and death are uncertain, and everyone is in a bad mood." ”
Xiao Feng only shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "I know that they all complain that I have hurt Murong, but the person who should blame me the most does not complain about ......" Halfway through the words, Xiao Feng couldn't help but be silent, full of unpleasant feelings.
Speaking of this, even Zhuge Zheng could only sigh, and said for a while: "Really don't go to see him?" ”
Xiao Feng struggled with his face, and after a long time, he laughed at himself: "It's better to wait for Murong to finish the business first!" Looking back now, Xiao Feng and Murong Fu have known each other for more than ten years, and the mode of getting along between them is always Xiao Feng waiting, Xiao Feng tolerating, and Xiao Feng giving in. So much so that when it came to life and death, Xiao Feng actually got used to it.
"What if he dies then?" Zhuge is my quiet way.
"Then die with him." Xiao Feng replied casually. This is an understatement, as if it were a trivial matter of how a copper plate should be spent, rather than a matter of life and death.
Brother Xiao, it's been more than ten years, can't you cheer up your husband? This sentence, Zhuge Zheng almost blurted out.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng immediately added another sentence. "But I'm not going to let him die!"
Zhuge Zheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and at the same time sighed from the bottom of his heart: With the two of you, I really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes! "What is Brother Xiao's plan?"
"If I go to see him now, I will rob the prison if I can't say it, and I will ruin his plan......" Fang Cai Su Shi and the others were talking to Murong Fu in prison, and Xiao Feng had actually been listening outside with Zhuge Zheng. Su Shi and the others couldn't imagine that Zhao Xu would agree to Murong Fu's reason for Su Shi to succeed him as prime minister, but Xiao Feng had instantly understood that Murong Fu wanted to change the emperor. If Xiao Feng's killing of the monarch was a temporary intention with the courage of a single blood, then Murong Fu's killing of the monarch was obviously the best solution after careful consideration and repeated considerations. "He is going to see the emperor, and he also asks Brother Zhuge to help me."
Xiao Feng had this request, and Zhuge Zheng and I immediately understood that Xiao Feng was going to be an accomplice to Murong Fu. "There are many people in the palace...... "Zhuge Zheng and I have a comprehensive plan, but the so-called people are not as good as the sky, and if there is a slight accident, Xiao Feng will give Murong Fu a funeral."
"If there is an accident, save Murong first!" Of course, Xiao Feng also understands that he may not have the life to come back if he has a life. But if he wants to make a choice between himself and Murong Fu's life, it is to give Xiao Feng 10,000 chances, and Xiao Feng will only choose Murong Fu without hesitation.
Zhao Xu's psychological quality was finally unable to resist the outspoken exhortation of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and after Cai Jing asked for the second time to see and persuade him, he summoned Zhuge Zhengme. Without waiting for Zhuge Zheng to pay a respect, Zhao Xu had already confirmed to him anxiously: "Murong Fu's martial arts have really been abolished?" ”
As soon as Zhuge Zheng heard this, an inexplicable doubt arose in his heart, and he pondered for a while before he replied cautiously: "Go back to the official's house, it's true." ”
Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and said after a while: "Cai Yuanchang is back, Murong Fu wants to see me and confess." ”
This matter is in Zhuge Zheng's arms, and he will not faithfully persuade Zhao Xu to hand over Murong Fu to Dali Temple, but replied: "That's it, it's okay." ”
But it was Zhao Xu who laughed when he heard Zhuge Zheng's answer. "I heard early in the morning that Zhuge Qing and Murong Fu have a good personal relationship."
"Yes! Therefore, Weichen has always believed that Murong Xiang will never rebel. Zhuge Zheng replied with a loyal face, "As long as the official family has seen Murong Xiang and listened to his explanation, the misunderstanding between the official family and Murong Xiang can be clarified." ”
Although this answer was not satisfactory, it also echoed Zhao Xu's request to the courtiers, only to see him smile inexplicably, and then asked: "If Murong Qing is really innocent, I misunderstood him, but what should I do?" ”
To tell the truth, Zhuge Zheng not only hopes that Zhao Xu will be loyal to his courtiers, but also repeatedly tests and confirms his careful thinking. But in order to achieve the goal, Zhuge Zheng and I still replied respectfully: "The official family and Murong have known each other for many years and have always been close, and the reason why the monarch and the minister are suspicious must be that the villain has entered the slander. This line of thought is the standard line of thought for a loyal courtier. The Holy One must be wise, and if the Holy One is wrong, then there are villains around him, and the Holy One is also deceived by others.
"This matter is already boiling over the whole country, how should it end?" Zhao Xu asked again.
Zhuge Zheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Murong Xiang has always had a means, so he should know how to end it." The rest is beyond the reach of the subordinates. "Zhuge is in charge of the six gates, and I have never asked about the government, but this answer is also decent.
Zhao Xu laughed, and said with a straight face: "I summoned Murong Fu and didn't want others to know, you can arrange this matter, and the place will be set in ...... Kim Myeongchi! ”
Jinmingchi is located in the suburbs of Bianjing, and has always been a place for emperors to play and relax. Zhao Xu had this idea, and just after confirming whether Murong Fu had really lost his martial arts, what kind of dirty thoughts he had about Murong Fu in his heart was already clear. Zhuge Zheng I never dreamed that after so many years, Zhao Xu still had a thief's heart. At this time, he suddenly felt the same hysterical anger as Murong Fu back then, and he couldn't wait to get up and slap this person to death. Selfish, greedy for power, mean, lustful, such a thing is not even good to be a person, how can you be the king of a country? I saw Zhuge Zheng slowly clenching his fists, and he was silent for a long time, and finally responded: "The minister obeys the order!" With that, he hurriedly retreated.
Zhuge Zheng and I were really resolute, and after just two days, he quietly returned to Zhao Xu, and everything was arranged.
Since Murong Fu was unjustly imprisoned, the Empress Dowager Xiang only recited the scriptures in Longyou Palace with filial piety to escape the world. A few days ago, I heard that the chamberlain came to report that Zhao Ji, another prince she loved, accidentally fell into the water and died while playing Keju, and the time for reciting the scriptures was much longer. And the queen has never been favored by Zhao Xu, so when Zhao Xu decided to rush to Jinmingchi by car, no one around dared to ask.
When Zhuge Zheng and I sent Murong Fu, who was still wearing shackles and chains, to Baojin Tower, it was twilight, and the flowers near and the blue waves in the distance reflected each other, lining this place like a fairyland on earth. Zhao Xu climbed to the top floor, looking at this boundless scenery from afar, waiting for Murong Fu, who was once the biggest opponent and now a prisoner, to come and ask for mercy, and his heart was even more satisfied.
Murong Fu was blindfolded by the black cloth all the way, and he was also taken aback when he arrived at the destination and found that he was in Jinmingchi. The so-called today is not what it used to be, he was stunned for a moment, and his shoulder was pushed by the two Ouchi guards who were in charge of escorting. Raising his eyes and seeing Zhao Xu sitting on the top seat, looking at him with interest, Murong Fu immediately knelt down in understanding. "Weichen Murong Fu, I have seen the official family."
"Wechen? Not a sinner? Zhao Xu looked at Murong Fu for a moment, and asked meaningfully.
"Weichen is guilty or not, the official family knows best." Murong Fu straightened up and replied indifferently. Although he was already a prisoner with chains, his gaze at Zhao Xu was still peaceful, as if he was still the left minister of the official residence.
Over the years, what Zhao Xu is most unaccustomed to is Murong Fu's calm and waveless eyes, as if all conspiracies and tricks are invisible in his eyes, as if he is the master of the world and controls everyone's life and death! Zhao Xu frowned and was about to have a seizure, but Murong Fu glanced around, and suddenly said, "The son of a daughter, don't sit down." Even if the official family is coming to Jinmingchi, they should bring a few more guards with them. "At least the eight guards and the four palace maids in front of you are really not Murong Fu's enemies.
Hearing Murong Fu's words of concern, for some reason, Zhao Xu's heart was actually soft, and he suddenly waved his hand and signaled all the palace maids around him to retreat.
The head of these eight guards is Zhu Yong, who had a prominent performance in rescuing the driver and was simply pulled out by Zhao Xu. And he clearly has a different opinion. "The official family, the Murong family's family martial arts is not trivial......
It's a pity that Zhao Xu is impatient. "Stand down!" Zhao Xu was suspicious by nature, and although Zhuge Zheng assured him that Murong Fu's skills were no longer to be feared, he still carefully selected eight powerful internal guards to accompany him. However, what Zhuge Zheng couldn't do, Murong Fu did it with just an understatement reminder.
In fact, Zhao Xu knew better than anyone that Murong Fu was harmless to him. For so many years, Murong Fu has been in power, and if he wants to harm him, there are countless ways. But he was cautious not to ask about the four armies, not to make friends with the inner guards and palace maids, not to inquire about any news in the palace, and even the Empress Dowager, who had always been close to him, rarely asked to see him. All along, Murong Fu has been carefully maintaining the little harmony between the monarch and the minister with his respectful heart. But he was wrong not to seize power! On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore? Is Murong Fu a loyal minister? Yes! Is Murong Fu a rebel? And even more yes!
After all, Zhu Yong is a newcomer to the officialdom who has only been favored, and he really has no face to make a direct offense. Seeing that Zhao Xu's face was cold and unquestionable, he had to touch his nose boringly, which led people to retreat.
It wasn't until only Zhao Xu and Murong Fu were left in the hall that Zhao Xu took two steps with his hands on his shoulders and asked in a low voice, "Murong Qing still remembers what place this is?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, he said again. Baojin Building, when I met Murong Qing for the first time, was here. At that time, Murong Qing was in high school...... In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Did Murong Tanhua, who was handsome and immortal, ever thought that there would be today? ”
When he said this, Zhao Xu's heart was also indistinguishable from the five flavors. He still remembered that Murong Tanhua, who was proud of the spring breeze and had a picturesque eyebrow, seemed to be a scholar, but he had a huge power that was not attached to ordinary people. Before him, Zhao Xu had never been carried in his hand like a sack. But after so many years, Zhao Xu has never forgotten that when he was covered by Murong Fu's mouth, there was a little bit of white sandalwood fragrance emanating from Murong Fu's fingertips. The world has changed, Murong Fu has exhausted his mind for government affairs, and his flesh and blood have been polished by torture, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the unyielding look at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes and a cold and calm temperament.
However, Murong Fu's sluggishness in terms of feelings is outrageous. He looked at Zhao Xu's extremely complicated eyes for a long, long time, so long that Zhao Xu frowned impatiently, and finally choked with sudden realization. Zhuge Xiaohua, why don't you remind me? Murong Fu tried hard to maintain his calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but scold in his heart.
How do you ask me to talk about this kind of thing? If Zhuge Zheng could hear Murong Fu's heart, he would definitely answer like this.
"Murong Qing insisted on seeing me, and now that he does, he doesn't have anything to say to me?" Zhao Xu, who was standing in front of Murong Fu, had a strange smile and slowly put his hand on the other party's shoulder.
Murong Fu slowly turned his head to look at the hand, and then slowly turned his head back to look at Zhao Xu. After a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on his otherwise expressionless face.
What kind of smile is that?
Ruthless, sarcastic, wicked, violent, viciously teaching people's scalps to be numb and scattered.
The next moment, Murong Fu clenched his fists and raised his arms slightly, only to hear a "choking" sound, and the iron chains that originally held his hands, feet and feet with the thickness of fingers were like paper paste, and they were instantly shattered inch by inch.
In an instant of life and death, Zhao Xu turned his head and ran. "...... Protection"
Before the word "escort" could be spoken, Murong Fu behind him had already pounced, his left knee against his back, his left hand pressed against the back of his neck, and his right hand covered his mouth and nose, pressing him to the ground fiercely. This time, Zhao Xu didn't smell the scent of white sandalwood on Murong Fu's body again, but instead there was a strong and disgusting smell of blood.
"Official, let's get on the road!" Murong Fu leaned down and whispered such a sentence in Zhao Xu's ear.
Then, there was a crisp sound of "Kala", and Zhao Xu was silent.
