Chapter Twenty-Nine: Blood Splattered Wagang
On the evening of November 10, Li Mi, who had celebrated his achievements for a day, returned to his room with one heart. Because of the wine, Li Mi's cheeks were rosy, which set off the joy on his eyebrows.
Wang Bodang took the opportunity to continue to pat himself on the back, "Congratulations to Duke Wei for breaking Wang Shichong, Luoyang is just around the corner, and Duke Wei is getting closer and closer to the dragon chair!" ”
Everyone said yes, and Li Mi was very happy.
At this time, Cui Shishu, one of Li Mi's cronies, said: "Duke Wei, why don't you come to a good thing in pairs?" ”
Li Mi asked, "How do good things come in pairs?" ”
Cui Shishu smiled and said, "Has Duke Wei forgotten that beauty?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Now marrying a beauty again, wouldn't it be a good thing? The crowd agreed.
Uncle Wang had a difficult look in his face, "Alas! It's just that I went to persuade her a few times, but she just refused, thinking about Li Yuan's second son. ”
Another confidant of Li Mi, Xing Yiqi, said: "Now that we have defeated Luoyang, the overall situation has been decided, it is only a matter of time before Li Yuan comes to surrender to the Duke of Wei, can she still be so ignorant of current affairs?" ”
Uncle Wang said: "You don't know, that girl is very tough. Besides, with Brother Zhai and Mao Gong as backing, we can't force it. ”
The henchman Sanfang Yanzao said disdainfully: "How can you not force it, Zhai Rang has given way, and now this Wagangzhai is Wei Gong's final say!" ”
Li Mi nodded as he listened.
At this time, the fourth confidant Zheng Cheng said mysteriously: "Gong Wei, it's better to get rid of these two, see that girl has no support, who else to fight with?" ”
"What?" Li Mi's heart was shocked, and he woke up more than half of the wine, "Get rid of them? Now Wagang is in full swing, killing them for a woman, and there is infighting? ”
Zheng Ying said: "Duke Wei, it is precisely because Wagang is in full swing that we want to get rid of them. He entered Luoyang one day and won the world, Wei Gong ascended to the throne, how could he tolerate others on the side of the collapse? ”
Fang Yanzao said: "Duke Wei, Zheng Ting's words are not unreasonable! Although Zhai Rang has given way, he still often regards himself as the lord, and from time to time asks us to honor him. ”
"Yes, yes, he also said: 'I asked him to sit in the position of Duke Wei, maybe one day I change my mind and have to sit back by myself.' Xing Yiqi also agreed.
Li Mi rolled a pair of goldfish eyes, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Cui Shishu said: "Duke Wei, what everyone said is true. And I heard that the people around Zhai Rang have been encouraging him to take back power, even if Zhai Rang doesn't have this mind, he can't stand the pry of the people below. Wei Gong should have made plans early. ”
Li Mi thought for a while and turned to Wang Bodang, "Bodang, what do you say?" ”
Wang Bodang originally wanted to make a sycophant and keep his wealth, but he never thought of killing Zhai Rang and Xu Shichang, after all, they must have been brothers who lived and died together. It's just that at this moment, if you don't agree, you will be busy for this time, and you may lose your life. So he barely squeezed out a smile, "What everyone said is very true." ”
On the morning of November 11, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Ziyi pushed open the window, and a cool breeze flew in with snowflakes, and the snowflakes fell on Ziyi's face, and a burst of coolness spread on his face, as if he was scattered to his heart. Ziyi looked at the countless snowflakes falling outside the window, and the sky and the earth seemed to be woven into a snow curtain.
It's snowing! Ziyi felt sad in her heart, she came to Wagangzhai in the summer, and now it has been half a year, and she still can't get out. I don't know when Li Yuan will become the emperor, I knew that it would be like this, it would be better to ask Zixuan more at the beginning, it is better than not having hope now.
Ziyi stretched out her hand to pick up the falling snowflakes, and muttered while grieved, "Shimin, where are you now?" Is it snowing in your place too? Do you think of me? ……”
There was a knock on the door, and Ziyi turned around, "Come in." ”
With a squeak, the door opened, and it was Chang He who brought breakfast, "Girl, let's eat." ”
Ziyi sat down at the table and saw that there was fish and meat, and asked puzzledly, "What day is today?" ”
Chang He said: "The girl doesn't know yet, right? We won a big victory in Wagang, and yesterday the generals all returned to the village, and the celebration banquet was held for a day! ”
Ziyi stood up in surprise: "Really? Then Brother Xu is also back? ”
"It's back, it's back. Xu will come to see the girl in the next two days. "Chang He Dao.
As he was talking, a person pushed the door in, Ziyi thought it was Xu Shiyun, but he was overjoyed, and the person who came was Wang Bodang, an uninvited guest.
Ziyi said angrily: "What are you doing again?" ”
Uncle Wang said weakly: "Miss Ziyi, Duke Wei asked me to propose marriage......
"It's all said, I can't agree!" Ziyi said angrily.
Wang Bodang said dejectedly: "Why should the girl be stubborn? Listen to Bodang's advice, don't go against Duke Wei, it's not worth losing your life in vain......"
Uncle Wang stopped talking, looked at Ziyi who was glaring angrily, shook his head helplessly, and went out.
Ziyi thought to herself, what's wrong with Uncle Wang, why is he not as energetic as before, but it seems that he has something on his mind, and this villain will also have something unhappy? What did he say about "losing his life"?
Ziyi looked back at Chang He, "What does he mean is that if I don't marry Li Mi, Li Mi will kill me?" ”
Chang He was also stunned when he heard Wang Bodang's words, and nodded blankly, "It seems to be." ”
"No, I have to go see Brother Xu." Ziyi said and rushed out the door.
"Hey! Girl, wait for me, I'll take you! Chang He chased him out.
The cold wind was howling, carrying snowflakes to the neckline of the person, Ziyi didn't care about the cold, and hurried to Xu Shiyun's residence. Unexpectedly, General Xu went to Zhai Situ.
Ziyi turned around and said to Chang He, "Take me to Brother Zhai." ”
Chang He is embarrassed: "Girl, if we go back and wait, maybe General Xu will come back in a while......"
Ziyi looked into his eyes and said firmly, "I said, take me to see Brother Zhai!" ”
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll take you there." Chang He Dao.
The two hurried to Zhai Rang's place again, but they pounced again, and Zhai Rang took Xu Shiyun and Shan Xiongxin to Li Mi.
Chang He said: "Girl, why don't we go back first." ”
Ziyi reached out and pulled down the dagger that Chang He carried with him at his waist.
Chang He was frightened, "Girl, what are you doing here?" ”
Ziyi said fiercely: "Let's go to Li Mi's place and see what he wants, my aunt and grandmother I fought with him today!" ”
Li Mi prepared a sumptuous banquet and invited Zhai Rang to the banquet, saying that he would continue to celebrate, so Zhai Rang brought Xu Shichang and Shan Xiongxin to come together. Fang Yanzao, Zheng Ying and other Li Mi's cronies diligently took the three into the house.
Seeing that Wang Bodang's face was pale, Xu Shichang stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Bodang, what's wrong?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I think it's too cold, and I have some wind chill. Wang Bodang dodged Xu Shiyun's eyes.
Li Mi enthusiastically helped Zhai Rang untie the big gun, pulled him to sit down at the table, and said, "Zhai Situ, you and my brother must have a few drinks today." I want to thank Brother Zhai well, if it weren't for Big Brother Rang Xian and me, how could I Li Mi be where I am today? And our two brothers won Zhang Xutuo first, and defeated Wang Shichong later, the world will be ours soon, and my eldest brother and I can enjoy wealth and wealth together! ”
Zhai Rang was very useful in saying something, and Zhai Rang said: "Yes, it's time to enter Luoyang, and you have to celebrate." ”
Li Mi said: "Let's drink with our brothers today, we don't need so many people to serve, you go down first." ”
Li Mi's guards all walked out, leaving only one to accompany Cai Jiande, but Xu Shiyun and Shan Xiongxin did not dare to move because they did not have Zhai Rang's order.
Li Mi and Fang Yanzao exchanged glances, and Fang Yanzao said with a smile on his face: "The weather is so cold, how can General Xu and General Shan be starved and frozen here, Duke Wei might as well reward the two generals to eat and drink in the wing." ”
Li Mi said: "What I said is that you can't wronged the two generals, what does Zhai Situ think?" ”
Zhai Rang did not doubt that he had him, and said to the two: "You go down first." ”
So the two followed Fang Yanzao and others out of the room.
During the banquet, Cai Jiande kept pouring wine for the two, Li Mi and Zhai Rang pushed the cup and changed the lamp, from the difficulty of starting a business in Wagang to the initial decision today, which was so unsatisfactory.
Li Mi took out a good bow and said, "The eldest brother is strong in martial arts, and the younger brother recently got a good bow and wants to give it to the eldest brother." ”
Zhai Rang was born as a military general, so he naturally likes all kinds of weapons, and he takes the bow and plays with it carefully, and he can't put it down.
Li Mi said: "The eldest brother is infinitely powerful, it is better to pull this bow and try it, and also let the younger brother open his eyes." ”
Zhai Rang thought to himself, this Li Mi is resourceful, and he is not as good as him, but if he compares the strength of Kong Wu, Li Mi will not be able to make a decision. Okay, let him open his eyes, so he used all his strength and pulled a full bow.
At this time, Li Mi's personal follower Cai Jiande quickly drew a knife and slashed from Zhai Rang's back, with a cold cold wind, and stabbed Zhai Rang's neck.
Blood gushed out, and Zhai Rang fell to the ground, his throat letting out a terrible howl like a bull's roar, and a pair of eyes stared directly at Li Mi, full of anger, unwillingness, and the pain of being betrayed.
Li Mi was so frightened by those eyes that he fell to the ground.
Xu Shiyun and Shan Xiongxin in the wing room heard the howl, and immediately jumped up, trying to grab the door and get out, but were held to the neck by Li Mi's guards. At this time, Li Mi also came to the wing room with the support of a group of cronies.
No matter how reckless Shan Xiongxin was, he understood what was going on, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. Everyone looked at Xu Shiyun, at this time his handsome face was as cold as ice, and his figure was standing as steady as a mountain, but he didn't kneel.
"Mao Gong!" With a clear female voice, a peach-colored figure fluttered like a frightening wave, but when it floated to the door, it was so frightened that it was nailed to the spot and couldn't move. The person who came was Yang Ziyi, followed by Chang He, who was running out of breath.
"Take it." As soon as Li Mi gave the order, several guards rushed towards Ziyi.
Xu Shiyun's pupils contracted rapidly, and he kicked a guard in the armpit, and the guard's knife against his throat fell to the ground. Xu Shiyun, who got rid of the control, was like a wild horse that had escaped from the leash, and he knocked down several guards with his bare hands, and no one could stop him.
"Ziyi!" Xu Shiyun hugged her and protected her in his arms.
At this moment, Xu Shiyi felt a chill on his neck, and his body involuntarily fell to the ground, but he subconsciously protected Ziyi tightly under him.
"Ahh Ziyi screamed in horror when she saw the blood sprayed on her body.
