Volume 6 The Heroes Compete Chapter 29 The Usurpation and Poisonous Scheme
The chaotic sound of horses' hooves and footsteps shattered the night sky of Chang'an, and a long dragon of winding torches swam towards all parts of the city.
"What's going on again?" Those bold people couldn't help but open a crack in the door and peek out, but they were dazzled by the reflection of countless metals outside the door.
"Boom" One door after another was violently kicked open, and a team of Dong sergeants rushed in fiercely and viciously to search.
Many of the courtiers' mansions were not spared, their masters and subordinates were interrogated in isolation, and all possible hiding places were turned upside down.
All of a sudden, a huge Chang'an City was full of chickens and dogs, and the voices were boiling, as if it had reached the end of the world.
After more than 20,000 Dong soldiers launched a dragnet search and arrest without any success, Chang'an City, which had been noisy for half the night, finally fell silent, but the hearts of all the soldiers and civilians were like a tightened bowstring, and they could no longer loosen up. After experiencing all the thrilling events of the past few days, a few people have a keen sense that something big may be about to happen.......
On the east gate of Chang'an City, dozens of gatekeepers were holding torches high, vigilantly sweeping their eyes to the dark places outside the city.
A Dong Jun's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly felt something strange in the darkness, and couldn't help but tighten the bowstring, and shouted wildly: "What person? Identify yourself immediately, or I'll let the arrow go! ”
"Where?" The defenders leaned down together in alarm.
In the shadows under the city, two obscured figures appeared, and a louder voice roared back: "Who dares to release arrows?" Blind in the eyes and deaf in the ears? If you don't open the door yet, you will be inside! ”
"What?" One of the officers shuddered at the sound of the familiar accent. Reach out and grab a torch and throw it straight down the city.
"Oh my God! It's actually ......." The firelight reflected the faces of the two uninvited guests, and all the Dong soldiers in the city exclaimed together.
Deep in the Taishi's Mansion. In the secret room, under the flickering candlelight, two people were sitting opposite each other in silence.
"Dong Gong, you may have miscalculated this time!" Li Ru finally raised his head, and the dim light reflected the heavy color on his face.
"Why?" The man on the other side narrowed his eyes, and the usual rough and arrogant color was gone, but it was full of cunning and secretiveness.
"Tonight, we want to find out the details of Wang Yun. But it inadvertently exposes our vulnerability! Li Ru's face was full of bitterness: "If it weren't for your surprise visit to Situ Mansion, so that most of the good players in the mansion were secretly arranged around Wang Yun's mansion and along the way, how could the thieves attack the Taishi Mansion so easily.......
"Did you notice?" He exhaled a long breath softly: "The civil and military officials who came tonight. After seeing the tragic scene of the Taishi Mansion, their faces were different, and the younger son-in-law was worried....... if they thought that you couldn't even protect the Taishi Mansion, they would definitely lose confidence in our strength, then they would be just one step away from rebelling!" ”
"Lone doesn't worry about those people. Because of their life and death. Just between the solitary backslap! Dong Zhuo said in a hoarse voice: "As long as the Son of Heaven is in our hands and the army is in our hands, what can they do?" They don't even have the ability to open the gates of Chang'an from the inside and outside...... It's just that there's one thing that's so weird tonight! ”
"You mean, it's too much of a coincidence, right?" Li Ru's eyes flashed: "Not bad! We secretly visited Situ Mansion in the afternoon, and a large number of assassins besieged Taishi's Mansion at night....... and we only informed Wang Yun of our actions in advance! Are you suspicious of Wang Yun? ”
"Lone is indeed suspicious of him, but the more suspicious he is, the more unreasonable it is!" Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with fierceness: "Wang Yunruo wants to kill Gu." How could he know that Lone went to his house, but he sent someone to kill an empty Taishi Mansion? ”
"Perhaps. He just wants to create such an illusion and clear his suspicions......." Li Ru slowly closed his eyes, as if he was imagining himself as Wang Yun, and said dreamily: "Once the Taishi relaxes his vigilance against him, then he can use the wedding day after tomorrow to make a move......."
"What did he do?" Dong Zhuo was stunned and interrupted: "The day of the big wedding is the time when Lone's defense is the strongest, if it is Lonely, the best time to make a move is when we heard that the Taishi Mansion was attacked and left Situ Mansion in a panic!" ”
"Not bad!" Li Ru lowered his head in distress: "If Wang Yun's side is really strong enough to break through the Taishi Mansion, then on the way back to the palace, we may indeed be killed and wiped out....... the weirdest thing tonight is that there was no wind at all on our return trip!" ”
"The little son-in-law thinks about it!" He raised his head suddenly, and his pale face was full of complicated and incomprehensible colors: "The only explanation is that ....... Wang Yun is innocent!" ”
"Nope! Can't be so sloppy! Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice: "If Wang Yun's purpose is to let us neglect our precautions, then he must have a bigger plan.......
Suddenly, he couldn't talk anymore.
"You realize it, too!" Li Ru smiled bitterly: "No matter how big his plot is, can he still be bigger than you?" As long as we are eradicated, he will be the highest official in Chang'an City, and from then on, he will be ordered by the Son of Heaven not to be subordinate, who else will he be? ”
"yes!" Dong Zhuo was stunned and sighed: "Li Dao led the main force to rush to the aid of Yiwu, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were both injured and recuperated, Fan Chou, Niu Fu and other generals have limited strength, and according to Guo Yan, if the enemy wants to kill him tonight, it will be effortless....... if he dies alone, Wang Yun does have the prestige of raising his arms to take over the military and political affairs of Chang'an!" ”
"Thinking about it like this, it's a dead end again!" The green tendons on his forehead flared up: "After these assassins withdrew from the Taishi Mansion, they disappeared without a trace in Chang'an City with a snap of their fingers, if it weren't for the cover of a person like Wang Yun, who could easily do it?" ”
"Could it be the Xiliang Army? Don't forget, a group of envoys under Han Sui are still in Chang'an City! Li Ru suddenly shouted: "If they use the underground forces that have been hidden in the city for a long time to collude with the old troops who assisted our army that day, and smuggle a large number of masters into the city, they do have this kind of strength!" ”
"Han Sui and Ma Teng?" Dong Zhuo thought about it sideways, and finally shook his head and said: "The men and horses of the Xiliang Army are too familiar to our army, and it is more difficult for a large number of good players to enter Chang'an than to ascend to the sky if they want to completely hide our ears and eyes....... there is also a corroborative evidence, if Han Sui can have such a background in Chang'an City, why bother bypassing Chang'an and taking Luoyang directly?" ”
"That's a good thing to say!" Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief: "Fighting for power on the battlefield is the strength of the Xiliang Army, and such an assassination act really doesn't seem to be their handiwork!" ”
"Who the hell could it be?" He almost put his head in his hands and groaned, "If we can't find out the identity of our opponent, we will never be able to fight back!" ”
"Not bad!" Dong Zhuo also stretched out his hand to stroke his forehead and muttered: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, how can I make them show their flaws?" ”
"Flawed! It's a flaw! Li Ru's eyes suddenly jumped up: "There is a countermeasure!" ”
"You've found a flaw in your enemy?" Dong Zhuo was taken aback by him, and immediately said with joy: "Tell me quickly, what is the flaw!" ”
"No, not the enemy's flaws!" Li Ru sat down slowly, his eyes flashing: "Instead, we have to take the initiative to expose the flaws, forcing all the enemies hidden in the shadows to show the flaws!" ”
"So mysterious?" Dong Zhuo was surprised: "Then what should we do?" ”
"We have a lot of enemies, both the princes and heroes from near and far, as well as the unsubordinate thieves in Chang'an City, they are like a group of fierce beasts eyeing each other, they are lying in the deep grass and dense forest, and they will break out and hurt people at any time, but ......." Li Ru closed his eyes again: "They all have a common weakness, as long as we stab through this layer, it will be like lighting a fire in the forest, all the beasts will race to each other, and their faces will be exposed in broad daylight!" ”
"What the hell?" Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's gloomy tone, and couldn't help but beat a spirit.
"It's Jiangshan! It's the throne! Li Ru Senran said: "I will make people secretly release the word, two days later, after the big wedding, the Taishi will go to the Situ Mansion to marry the new lady, and will take the new lady and Wang Yun and a group of ministers to the palace to thank the Son of Heaven....... and the Son of Heaven will be obedient to the heavens, and Zen is located in the Taishi!" ”
"My mother!" Dong Zhuo turned over the table in front of him and said in shock: "You don't mean it, right?" ”
"Of course it's true!" Li Rushi Shiran stood up, put his hands behind his back, and sneered: "No matter who the person behind it is, and no matter who the traitor in Chang'an is, at this time when the stone breaks through the earth, he can't help but not make a move....... because, if he doesn't make a move, the country will change from then on, and the world will be reversed, and those pedantic people who are loyal to the Han family will certainly be like mourning, and those who are bent on seeking to win the world are even more like being dug out of their hearts!" ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but let out a series of wild laughs: "You say, can they not jump out?" ”
"Why did you choose to be in the palace?" Dong Zhuo was a little hesitant and said, "Isn't it better to be in the Taishi Mansion?" ”
"In the palace, of course! Not to mention that the palace guards are all our people! Li Ru's gloomy face flashed with murderous intent: "As long as they dare to make a move in the palace, it will confirm the empirical evidence of their conspiracy and rebellion....... hehehe!" In case one day is unfortunately poisoned by thieves, and both sides are burned, then wouldn't Dong Gong's great cause be a matter of course? ”
Dong Zhuo's dark and rough fat face finally showed a bright smile, and he turned his ecstasy and monstrous ambition into a heavy note: "Good! ”
"Taishi!" Outside the door, someone suddenly shouted in a low and eager voice: "General Hua and General Hu suddenly appeared outside the east gate!" ”
"What?" Dong Zhuo and Li Ru froze together, and only after a while did they shout in unison: "Don't you bring it here?" (To be continued.) )
