Chapter 117: We Are All Beasts

Xu Xiao sat in the carriage, his eyes closed, his hands in his sleeves, his fingers touched a letter, and his face showed a little kindness and gentleness: "When I went out of Xiliang, Yun Feng gave me a letter, saying that I would open it when I arrived in Shangjing. What do you say is in the letter? ”

Wei Song thought of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and shook his head gently, as if no one in the entire Xiliang knew what His Highness was thinking, sometimes crazy, sometimes intelligent, and did a lot of ridiculous and boring things.

Take out the envelope, Xu Xiao rubbed the edge, opened it with a smile on his face, the letter paper is excellent, absorbent, delicate, it is the best reed paper produced in Jiangnan, the font on the letter paper is handsome and straight, but look at the content of the letter. Xu Xiao's face became more and more exciting, and in the end, he couldn't help laughing and handed it to Wei Song casually.

Wei Song looked at it, shook his head again, the letter listed the officials in the capital who had written to his father-in-law in recent years, the official department of Shangshu, the Ministry of Works, the governor of the political affairs, the imperial history of the left, etc., etc., and wrote the front and back of the paper, and finally added a sentence "Old man, you can't lose face, slap your face one by one in the order above!" ”

Wei Song asked, "Father-in-law, what should I do?" ”

Xu Xiao lifted the curtain with one hand: "Just find one or two to eat a few meals." ”

"Isn't it a little too ruthless?" Wei Song smiled.

"No poison, no husband." Xu Xiao said with a smile.

Xu Xiao's prestige in Xiliang is extremely high, no one is disrespectful, someone once said that Xu Xiao is not dead, but he can top 100,000 iron horses. But the reputation of Shangjing is not good, if the father-in-law goes to the house of a certain Beijing official to beat the other party with great fanfare, then this official will gain fame and fortune because of his bad relationship with the king of Xiliang. Not only has it been cleared, but it must be reused by the imperial court. But if Xu Xiao goes to an official's house for a meal or two, the official will be friendly with Xu Xiao. and was looked down upon by the officials in Shangjing.

The street was still bustling, and the two carriages were still moving forward unhurriedly. There were people crowded around the two carriages, and the miserable counting of the two carriages occupied the ground, blocking his view. Fortunately, Lin Wan'er was resting, otherwise she would have opened the curtain and scolded the pedestrians on the street.

Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, entered the city in a low-key manner, but he couldn't withstand many pedestrians, and everyone was looking forward to it. I hope to be able to see Xiliang's black clothes and black armor, and to admire the demeanor of the first general of the Great Wei, no one thought that this prince would be by his side.

A diminutive passerby kept squeezing towards the Xuanwu Gate. But he was blocked by Xu Xiao's carriage, and his mouth was not clean: "Wang Ba calf, drive out in broad daylight, something." The dwarf passerby cursed as he continued to walk forward. Gradually, the carriage approached.

When passing by the carriage. The dwarf passer-by couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of phlegm towards the carriage, as if he was puzzled, and the dwarf passer-by kicked the carriage vigorously and cursed again.

But the King of Xiliang in the carriage smiled indifferently, and gently groped for the jade wrench on the eldest mother's finger: "I have no intention, I go to the capital, it's really disappointing!" ”

Of course, the short passer-by couldn't hear Xu Xiao's muttering, but his eyes suddenly changed. There was a light shooting out, and the dark crossbow stuck out of the sleeve. A poisonous crossbow bolt was set up in the crossbow, and it was ready to fire in the direction of the carriage.

The dwarf passerby was an assassin, and someone assassinated him at the first moment when King Xiliang entered Beijing!

Everyone didn't notice the difference between the short passer-by, because he was so ordinary that others didn't want to look at him again, but there was an authentic woman in the capital who was wrapped in a turban saw it, and the turban woman did not panic, but "swam" from the crack to the short passer-by like a swimming fish, and hit the back of the short man's neck with a knife.

The short man was hit, but he was not panicked, he was ruthless, gritted his teeth, turned his head with difficulty, and rushed the dark crossbow in his hand towards the woman who suddenly appeared, the turban woman was faster, and instantly pinched the wrist of the short man, and the dark crossbow rushed into the sky, and the crossbow arrow rushed to the sky and fell in the crowd.

The short man suddenly let out a sinister laugh, raised his other hand, and a dark crossbow appeared from his sleeve, rushing towards the turbaned woman.

The turban woman didn't expect it, there was a panic in her eyes, but in order to protect the prince in the carriage, she gritted her teeth and prepared to take the poisonous arrow.

But a man with a blank face suddenly appeared between the short man and the turban woman, like a mountain in front of the turban woman, and a punch was like a hammer, hitting the short man's throat hard, and the blow was very solid, walking in a straight line, without the slightest hesitation.

The short man felt that the strength in his body was suddenly drained, he was very unwilling, he still had a more poisonous poison arrow that was not shot, it was left to the king of Xiliang, that was his last task to gain freedom.

The short man's eyes began to drift, and he was staggered in the crowd. When he was dying, he seemed to see his lovely daughter with two pigtails swinging, and he hid in a tree in the distance, looking at her stupidly and quietly through the gap in the leaves. He didn't dare to let his daughter know his own existence, for fear that his daughter would dislike him, assassination was never a glorious thing, and his daughter only knew that she had a great father, and she couldn't stay by her side for some special reasons.

The poisoned arrow pierced into the Mune man's body and lay on his back in the arms of the turbaned woman. The hijab woman showed a shocked look on her face, and naturally grabbed the man's arm, with tears on her face: "Why are you so stupid!" ”

The wooden man's face was pale, the poisonous arrow shot into his body hurt his heart, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly: "Worried." ”

The turban woman took the man's arm, nodded at Wei Song, who was driving, and turned around: "This is my task, I don't need you to interfere." ”

The Mu Ne man took out a bracelet from his arms and solemnly brought it to the turban woman: "From Xiliang to Shangjing, you and I have pretended to be husband and wife for so many years. I have never dared to say, today with the courage to ......, are you willing to do it" After a pause, the wooden man suddenly didn't want to say, "Marry me", but thought he was very funny and asked: "Are you willing to fake it?" ”

The tears of the turban woman were like a flood that broke the embankment, and after waiting for so many years, she finally waited for this sentence, and the dying Mu Nehan disappeared into the crowd with each other.

Wei Song didn't know the identity of the man and woman, nor did he know the identity of the short man who carried out the assassination, but he knew that before the three of them walked to the carriage, there were already many dead soldiers and spies fighting each other in the invisible alley, there were already many people who had shed a lot of blood, many families were broken, and there were many people who loved each other separated by yin and yang.

The Great Wei State is unparalleled in national strength, but there are still people who are bleeding and dying!

Looking at the man and woman who had disappeared, Wei Song suddenly remembered for no reason that on the way back to Xiliang from Lanzhou, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World faced the vast river, stretched out his arms, and muttered to himself - we are all beasts!

(This is an unexpected scene, it is written like this, and it is a bit willful!) Brake it, it's only 2,000 words today, and I'll make it up tomorrow) (To be continued......)
