Volume II, Chapter 8 Saving Lives
Liu Wei pulled out the knife quickly, Rao is Zhang Fei was cunning and unexpected, as Liu Wei broke off, the extremely sharp blade had already touched the back of Zhang Fei's neck, and slipped into the skin.
However, because Liu Biao was young and weak, and this sudden knife attached great importance to the techniques and techniques of the person who made the knife, Liu Bian's knife seemed to be struggling to cut down, but it did not achieve the desired effect.
There are several big bones at the back of the neck of the human body, if the person wielding the knife is heavy and the angle is accurate, he can naturally break the bones and decapitate, but if a knife is cut at the junction of the two bones, it is not easy to behead, Liu Wei has no ability to decapitate and kill, this knife just happened to be impartially cut at the intersection of the two bones in the back of Zhang Fei's neck, coupled with its limited strength, this knife was swung down, not only did not hack Zhang Fei to death, but made this ring head knife stuck on Zhang Fei's neck.
Zhang Fei only felt a cold neck, but he didn't feel the pain, hearing Liu Wei's words, and seeing him do this, he was terrified in his heart, and he actually yelled and jumped up.
Liu Fei was not as powerful as Zhang Fei in the end, and the handle of the knife was taken off, only to see that the five-foot-long ring-headed knife was actually inserted horizontally at the back of Zhang Fei's neck, which looked particularly weird.
Zhang Fei smoothed his neck, only to see blood on his hands, and he was frightened and incontinent on the spot, but he didn't know what to say.
On the one hand, it is because although Liu Bian has been in this world for more than eight years, he has seen dead people and murderers, and he wants to drive a knife in the back of Cao Jie's head back then, but because he has no intention of killing people at all, so he is so calm, but today he wants to kill people in person, and now this knife is really his first time, saying that he is not nervous, saying that he is not afraid, how can it be?
On the other hand, it was because after the knife was swung, Zhang Fei suddenly jumped up, making his neck instantly fly bloody, which was really blurred with flesh and blood, and the long knife was inserted on the neck, such a strange and terrifying shape really frightened Liu Wei. So much so that Liu Wei, who should have explained, was also stunned and silent.
"Help me! Help me! Zhang Fei kept wailing, and wanted to grab the handle of the knife, but because the ring head knife was too long, it was really impossible to reach without help, although the jailers present were moved, but because of Liu Wei's indifferent expression, they didn't dare to come forward to help.
Zhang Fei ran back and forth to several prison guards and knelt down to beg for help, but to no avail. Suddenly, he felt a deep pain, and it was difficult to resist, but when he saw that there were two wooden pillars on the side of the prison that were no more than four feet, he walked to him, turned around and shouted angrily to Liu Wei: "The prince killed me!" The prince killed me! ”
After that, he heard a long roar, and suddenly took a few steps back, and heard two "bells", and the five-foot-long ring-headed knife first hit two pillars, and then fell to the ground, and one fell down with only a severe-looking, bloody head.
All the prison officials were frightened by Zhang Fei's death, and most of them did not pay attention to the "prince killed me" that he said when he was dying, even those who paid attention only thought that when Zhang Fei died, he was confused and said nonsense.
Liu Wei also knew this truth, so when Zhang Fei's head fell to the ground, he instantly regained his senses, saw him walk to Zhang Fei's corpse, picked up the head and placed it properly on the only table in the prison, bowed to Zhang Fei's head quite likely, and said: "Thank you Zhang Zhi for borrowing his head." ”
After this incident, Liu Bianfu tore open half of the sleeves on Zhang Fei's corpse, stained his head and neck with blood flowing from the vultures, and came to the earthen wall next to the table, waving his big sleeves, and in a moment they became nine characters, which said: "Murderer, Ruyang Yuan Shang is also!" ”
All the jailers were stunned, and they really didn't know what kind of fame this noble son in front of him was going to do.
Liu Wei didn't care, he entered the first cell alone, and helped Shi Ziyan out in a moment. When several eunuchs who came with Liu Wei saw Shi Ziyi, they hurriedly stepped forward to replace Liu Wei and rushed to help.
Liu Wei freed his hand, went to the side of Zhang Fei's corpse, picked up the ring-headed knife, and led Shi Ziyi and others out of the gate of the Zhongdu official prison.
So far, the operation to rescue Shi Ziyi can be described as smooth sailing, that is, even Liu Wei himself is a little fluttering, and Liu Wei is also calmly accepting the advocacy and questioning of the eunuch beside him, and knows everything.
Just when everyone was triumphant, they heard a clear male voice laugh loudly: "What a resourceful and decisive little highness!" ”
Following the prestige, seeing that this person was seven feet long, thin, and dressed as a scribe, but because of the shadow of the moon, he couldn't see his face clearly, Liu Wei looked around, and the spacious Tongluo Street seemed to be no different, so he stepped forward and asked: "Is the person who came from Yuan Sili's door?" ”
"Yes and no." The scribe neither bowed nor stepped forward, but answered with a loud voice.
"Yes, yes, no, what is yes and no?"
The scribe said: "In the next trip is to come here on the order of Yuan Sili, waiting for His Royal Highness, if you want to say so, it should be Yuan Sili's disciple, but I am a friend of the original horn, each other is a confidant, and now it is not his subordinate officials, if you want to say so, it is naturally not the original disciple." ”
Liu Bian's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Xu Ziyuan can speak well, and when I saw it today, it was true, but it was you Xu Ziyuan, who also wanted to rob people in my hands?" How? Is it the three-foot sword on your hips? Or is it by the three-inch tongue on your skull? ”
The scribe was stunned when he heard this, and actually laughed loudly: "Xu You's cheap name, Your Highness actually knows?" ”
Speaking of this, the scribe stepped forward a few steps, walked to Liu Wei, bowed down, bowed, and said again: "Nanyang Xu You, I have heard His Highness for a long time that he is astute, and when I see it today, I know that this is true." ”
By the moonlight, Liu Wei looked up, but saw that the person in front of him had a black face and a long beard, and a cunning face, but it was far from the image of Xu You in his heart, and he couldn't help sighing, and said to himself: "It's strange today, Zhang Fei is a white and pure worker, but Xu You is a black-faced scribe, this Zhang Fei is a fake Zhang Fei, but Xu You is a real Xu You." ”
Xu You naturally didn't know what Liu Wei was saying, but he only knew that he was carrying himself in his words, and he didn't know what he meant, so he had to stand in front of him blankly, smiling.
"Xu Ziyuan, let me ask you." Liu Wei came back to his senses.
"Your Highness, excuse me!"
"Yuan Shao took the bus into Luo, and paid homage to Captain Sili, but it's your strategy."
Although Xu You didn't know why Liu Wei suddenly asked about this, he still answered truthfully: "When I was originally called into Luo as an official, it was naturally the will of the court and Your Majesty, how did it become a strategy under him?" His Highness's question is really difficult to answer. ”
Liu Wei waved his hand and continued to ask: "Participating in the dead among the homeless people, coinciding with the closed door of the righteous house, pretending to riot, but your Xu Ziyuan's means?" ”
Xu Yu twisted his beard and smiled, and bowed his head again and again: "Your Highness is extremely smart, and such a small skill of carving insects naturally can't be hidden from Your Highness." ”
"I'm really on your way!" Liu Weichang sighed and said: "I build a righteous house and do good deeds, it is for the benefit of the people, Xu Ziyuan, how can you be so vicious, and use such means to lure me into the urn?" ”
Xu You hurriedly waved his hand: "Your Royal Highness's words are wrong, Your Highness built a righteous house and accepted the displaced people, but it was a good deed, Xu You is a snake and scorpion will not harm this good deed, but the hunger is greedy by nature, and the righteous house is closed, that is, it is not against that day, and he will also be against it in the future, Xu You is only one or two dead soldiers, and he has advanced this rebellion by a few days, how can it be called evil?" What's more, where are these remaining displaced people going, and what will they do? His Royal Highness's heart is bright, why do you need to say more here? ”
"Yuan Shao also knows that the Taiping Dao wants to rebel?"
Xu You smiled again and again: "If you didn't know it in advance, how could Shi Chang Shi collude with Taiping Dao and intend to rebel?" ”
"But since you know that the Taiping Dao is getting more and more rebellious, why can't you go straight and arrest the leaders of the Taiping Dao and dismiss the Daoists from all sides, but you want to embarrass me?"
"Your Highness laughed." Xu You's color did not change, and he still said eloquently: "I have never been embarrassed by His Highness at the beginning!" ”
"How can Yuan Shao not know?" Liu Wei snorted coldly: "Shi Ziyi and I are not related, especially very close, Yuan Shao is not embarrassed by me on the surface, but since he is embarrassed by Shi Ziyi, isn't it difficult for me?" ”
"Your Highness's words are wrong!" Xu Yu was not in a hurry, and said: "Not only did he not embarrass His Highness, but he had great grace and His Highness!" ”
Seeing Liu Wei's angry face, he didn't answer, but Xu You was not shocked or afraid, and said eloquently: "Your Highness is in the forbidden, and you should know the two Huangmen servants Feng Yu and Xu Feng." Let's tell the truth below, these two people are the eyes and ears of Taiping Dao, and they are used to cover His Majesty in the forbidden, I heard that these two people believe in Huang Lao's technique, and there is no difference between what Shi Changshi has learned, and I heard that Shi Changshou and these two people have many words close to Taiping Dao, dare to ask Your Highness, so much, is Xu Yu right? ”
Liu Wei was shocked when he heard this, but his face was calm, but he could also be said to be happy and angry.
"If he rises up in the future, these three people will naturally die, but it is not a pity for the three of them to die, but has His Highness ever thought about himself?" Xu You said that he was depressed and frustrated, and the fullness of emotion could not be questioned: "His Royal Highness has grown up for Shi Changshi since he was a child at the foot of the North Mountain, and the world knows that if His Royal Highness is in prison alone today to save Shi Changshi, it must be the Jingshi who is shaken, so once the Taiping Dao that he values in the history of Changshi rebels, how does the world think of His Highness?" What does the Minister think of His Highness? What does Your Majesty think of Your Highness? Have Your Highness ever thought about one or two of these? ”
Liu Wei was still speechless.
"If the little yellow gate in His Highness's palace truthfully tells the words of Shangyang Fangzheng in the Weiwei Mansion, when Zhiyang Fangzheng has a word with His Highness, I wonder if His Highness has ever remembered?"
"What?" Liu Wei finally asked.
"The matter has come to this, Shi Changshi is a loyal and moral person, and he cannot be a loyal and moral person, His Royal Highness and Shi Changshi's friendship for seven or eight years should naturally be judged and taken as a trade-off."
Xu You's words were not finished, Liu Wei had already looked back at Shi Ziyi, under the shadow of the moon, he saw that his face was pale, his skin was cracked, his breath was weak, and he was unconscious, as if he was tortured in prison to extract confessions, tortured and humiliated, Liu Wei thought about the eight years in this life, his heart was full of grief and indignation, emotions surged, it was difficult to resist, and tears came out of his eyes.
Liu Wei wiped a handful of tears, turned his head and frowned at Xu You, but the ring knife in his hand was held tighter: "I also have a word with Mr. Ziyuan today." ”
"I want to hear about it."
Hearing his every word, he was as sonorous as iron: "Shi Ziyi can only take a living, and it is not a pity to give up my Liu debate today." ”
