Chapter 168: The Heart of a Traitor (Part II)
Yang Jian and Li Yu accompanied the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to have a wedding banquet at the Dugu Mansion, toasted one by one, and thanked the seniors and uncles for coming to cheer the party. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that Dugu Xin is getting more and more restless, and the more the officials are happy, the more panicked he becomes. Even though Yuwen Hu was right in front of him, he was so drunk that he didn't seem to see any vision. The family members who were sent out to inquire about the news came back to report that after investigation, there was no change in Otsuka's mansion as usual.
Dugu Xin thought that he was too worried, and Yuwen Hu came up to toast Dugu Xin: "Da Sima, congratulations, you have accepted two good sons-in-law." The so-called 'father and son soldiers', these two good sons-in-law will definitely be able to help Da Sima make contributions in the future! ”
"How dare you, thanks to Otsuka Zai's help!" Dugu Xin gave Yuwen Hu a glass of wine in return.
Yuwen Hu slanted a glance at the family who had just retreated: "Da Sima's subordinates, between this banquet, going in and out, is there something wrong?" ”
Dugu Xin disguised and said: "What's the matter, I just sent them to the Yang Mansion and the Li Mansion to tell the subordinates of the two families some of the living habits of the two little girls, lest the two little girls be a little uncomfortable when they arrive at the in-laws' mansion!" ”
Yuwen Hu naturally knew that what Dugu Xin said was insincere, but he still said hypocritically: "Da Sima really loves his daughter, I, Yuwen Hu, promise Da Sima, if the two young ladies are unhappy in the future, I will be the first to spare these two beasts!" Don't worry so much, go, big day, go, I'll drink, colleagues are still waiting for it! ”
Dugu Xin also understood that Yuwen Hu must have seen his worries, if he probed Yuwen Hu's news with such a sad face, he would not be able to hang on to his face. I had no choice but to force a smile and return to the banquet.
Yuwen Hu said to Yang Jian and Li Xun: "Yang Gongzi and Li Gongzi, why don't you come to toast your father-in-law?" ”
Yang Jian and Li Xin poured a glass of wine respectively, walked in front of Dugu Xin, and said in unison: "Thanks to the love of my father-in-law, my son-in-law respects my father-in-law!" ”
Dugu Xin, Yang Jian, and Li Xun drank the wine in their hands together.
Yuwen Hu clapped his hands and said, "Good, very good!" Yang Gongzi, Li Gongzi, you are really lucky! It can be known that the unsuccessful Jue Gongzi in our family clamored to be the son-in-law of Da Sima, but he didn't look in the mirror, where was he worthy, so I didn't agree! Therefore, if you are disrespectful to the two young ladies in the future, I will not spare you! ”
Listening to Yuwen Hu's fake words, Yang Jian was naturally a little uncomfortable in his heart, and Li Xin was even more disgusted with Yu Wenhu's virtue. When Yuwen Go's hand slapped him on the shoulder, he removed Yuwen Go's hand in disgust.
Yuwen Hu didn't care, and smiled wryly: "Your family will talk first, and I'll go over there to drink!" ”
Watching Yuwen Hu leave, Li Xun couldn't hold back the resentment in his heart: "Can't Uncle Yue see that this Yuwen Hu is acting abnormally, there must be another plan!" ”
Dugu Xin shook his head and sighed: "It's because he has a plan, and he must have done it seamlessly and leaky, making it difficult for people to detect the clues." This Yuwen Hu's scheming far exceeds that of his uncle Yu Wentai, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River urging the front waves! This feeling is the most terrifying, you know that the crisis is around, but you can't see it, you can't touch it! ”
Yang Jian thought about it for a while, and smiled: "Uncle Yue and brother-in-law must be too worried, Yuwen Hu is still in our house, as long as we send more people, even if Yuwen Hu wants to do something, as long as we control him, it will be difficult to fly!" ”
Li Xin shook his head: "Brother is too simple, this is where Yuwen Hu's behavior is terrifying." If he wants to make any changes tonight, but he still has to stay under our noses, this kind of confident self-confidence, but you and I can't figure it out, and when we react, I'm afraid that someone else's knife has already been on our neck! ”
"Hey, maybe we're overthinking? Yuwen Hu may not have any different intentions, but he really wants to curry favor with Lord Yue! Although Yang Jian was also a little apprehensive in his heart, he still had to pretend to be calm.
"I hope so!" Dugu Xin clenched the wine glass in his hand: "But don't slack off the two of you, you must drink less wine, in case something really happens, you can deal with it soberly!" ”
"Yes!" Yang Jian and Li Xin received the order, and then when they drank with the officials, they replaced the wine with some white water.
Gao Ying, who had disappeared for a day and a night, suddenly rushed in from outside, walked in front of Dugu Xin and said: "Oh no, the city defense of Chang'an City has increased ten times more than before, the archers and crossbowmen are all ready, and the situation of saber rattling is tense, so I suspect that Dugu Xin has something wrong." I hurried to the palace, and sure enough, as I expected, the palace's Imperial Forest Army was being replaced by Yuwen Hu's refined soldiers, waiting for the opportunity, I'm afraid that tonight will be a day change! ”
Dugu Xin listened, the cup in his hand fell to the ground, he didn't say a word, and looked straight ahead in a daze.
In the midst of this noise, the sound of Duguxin's cup falling on the ground was muffled, and no one noticed Duguxin's changes. Yuwen Hu, who pretended to be drunk, had been watching Dugu Xin's every move with the corner of his eye, and when he found Dugu Xin's demeanor, he was expected to know the situation, and secretly instructed the entourage around him, and after the entourage got the order, he left in a hurry.
Gao Ying whispered: "For today's plan, we must not let Yuwen Hu walk out of Dugu Mansion for half a step, even if he has the heart of rebellion, with his own life, in exchange for His Majesty's safety, there is still some chance of winning!" ”
Dugu Xin nodded and said quietly: "You first take someone to block all the doors, and don't let anyone in or out, so as not to collude with Yuwen Hu and the people outside." There are no of our men and horses in Chang'an City, if the swords and soldiers meet, we must be invincible, if it is in the house, there are Jian'er and Yu'er, Yuwen Hu is not an opponent. ”
Gao Ying received the order, and left to order his subordinates to guard the gate and corner gate, but because the order was a step late, Yuwen Hu's entourage had already left the mansion in a hurry.
Dugu Xin called Yang Jian and Li Xin to his side: "You two, can you bring weapons?" ”
Yang Jian and Li Xin shook their heads: "I came here in this groom's suit, where is there any place to bring weapons?" ”
Dugu said: "You go to my study, there are a few good swords, you go and get them!" ”
Yang Jian and Li Xin understood that they must have taken down Yuwen Hu, so they had to order them to go to Dugu Xin's study. (To be continued.) )
