Chapter 289: Covering Responsibility
After the crowd fell into a panic, Wen Xuan didn't stay any longer and galloped away with Han Er's corpse.
The servants and miscellaneous servants in the camp panicked, rode fast horses to find Langzhong, and at the same time sent people to immediately find Li Chahan and Wang Baobao.
After hearing such bad news, the father and son hurriedly took people back, but fortunately, Kang Li Anning's wound was treated in a relatively timely manner, and his life was not in danger for a while.
Richard rarely saw that his wife was injured and thought it was Wen Xuan's poisonous hand, so he trembled with anger, and Wang Baobao threw himself in front of the bed and cried bitterly.
The weakened Kang Li Anning reluctantly focused and opened his eyes after seeing them return, "Don't worry, Wen Xuan, the antidote to the expansion of the profile, has been left." With that, he pointed to the pill on the table.
The angry Li Chahan didn't believe that Wen Xuan would leave an antidote, "That thief hurt you like this, how could he be so kind to let go of Kuokuo?" Nine times out of ten, it's just another poison! ”
Kang Li Anning shook his head slightly, and explained slowly: "The wound on my body was caused by me, not by Wen Xuan. ”
"What did you say?" Richard looked at his wife in disbelief.
Kang Li Anning could only continue to speak: "That Wen Xuan sneaked into the camp at some point, watched all your actions, and didn't appear here until all of you were gone. ”
"When he came in, I was reciting Buddhist scriptures for the dying man, and it is estimated that he gave up his murderous intent because of this, and did not directly stab me to death with a sword."
"Soon after he came in, the man completely lost his breath, and I was worried that Wen Xuan would let Kuangkuo pay for his life, so I stabbed myself first, so I begged him to stay the antidote."
After listening to his wife's story, Richard stood up in a daze, looking at his wife's eyes full of self-blame.
Wang Baobao cried even more, blaming himself.
Kang Li Anning touched Wang Baobao's head and comforted him softly: "Kuokuo, you don't have to blame yourself. ”
Immediately looked at the silent Richard Han and said: "This time it is indeed us who have gone back on our word first, Wen Xuan did not take advantage of your absence to open the killing ring, and this matter will end here." ”
Kang Li Anning's words made Li Chahan extremely ashamed, and he lowered his head and said, "Everything is according to Madame's wishes." ”
He immediately took out a dagger and slashed it on his palm, and the red blood flowed out instantly.
"I, Richard, will take this as a warning in the future, and never implicate the innocent because of family feuds and personal grudges...... As for that Wen Xuan, if he sees him on the battlefield one day, I will take his head openly! ”
When Wang Baobao saw his father like this, he also learned from him to cut his palm and sweared: "I will one day wash away this shame!" ”
As the silence returned to the camp of Li Chahan and his party, Wen Xuan had already galloped wildly with Han Er's corpse for a long time, as if he was racing against time.
He did not know the plan of action of the Yuan soldiers after the recovery of Shangcai, and could not judge when the Yuan soldiers would launch a further attack, so he was eager to bring the news of the loss of Shangcai back to Xuzhou in order to coordinate the situation in Henan.
This time, the Yuan soldiers are known as more than 100,000 people, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Liu Futong to confront him head-on, and Xuzhou will have to help him share some of the pressure......
A few days later, Wen Xuan finally rushed back to Xuzhou.
After revealing the holy fire order to prove his identity and entering the city, Wen Xuan went straight to the council hall that was temporarily converted from the county government.
It just so happened that Han Lingyue was taking Luo Wensu, Sesame Li, Mao Gui, Peng Da, Zhao Junyong and others to discuss here, and everyone was a little surprised when they saw Wen Xuan who suddenly broke in.
Mao Gui was overjoyed when he saw Wen Xuan: "Master Wentang? You're back so soon! ”
Han Lingyue's heart finally fell after seeing Wen Xuan, but before she could make an inquiry, Wen Xuan said with a calm face: "Back to the Holy Maiden, Wen Xuan is not doing things well, not only did he not have time to save the Han Tan Lord and others who guarded Shang Cai this time, but the second Han brother also unfortunately died. ”
"What did you say?"
"How so?"
"What happened?"
Everyone suddenly let out different exclamations, they thought that Wen Xuan personally went out, no matter how bad it was, it would not be impossible to steal chickens and rice.
Peng Da and Zhao Jun glanced at each other privately, obviously happy to see Wen Xuan's frustrated appearance.
Han Lingyue also immediately calmed down from the joy of seeing Wen Xuan, and only then did she notice that Wen Xuan's face was full of haggardness.
It seems that something big must have happened on this trip to Shangcai!
After Han Lingyue calmed down, he slowly asked, "Wasn't Han Ermo killed by the Yuan soldiers who attacked Shangcai?" ”
Wen Xuan shook his head, roughly recounted what happened on the road, and said in a deep voice: "The second brother Han died because of my grudge against Li Chahan. ”
Luo Wensu intended to excuse Wen Xuan, so he turned the topic to Shang Cai: "Regardless of this disaster, I didn't expect our actions to be one step slower, and Shang Cai's brothers have been wiped out!" ”
Sesame Li continued: "The master of the Wen Hall must be exhausted after running around for days, why don't we discuss it after resting first?" ”
Mao Gui also echoed: "Master Wentang's trip has hard work even if there is no merit, and it is not too late to talk about other things after bathing and changing." ”
Zhao Junyong stood up with slanted eyebrows when he heard this, "Right is right, wrong is wrong, what does it mean to 'have hard work without merit'?" ”
Seeing this, Peng Da also took a stand: "The second brother Han who died innocently in vain is also a good human life, if this matter is settled, will there be any other brothers who are willing to die for Mingjiao?" ”
Although Wen Xuan hadn't closed his eyes for a long time and was already very sleepy, he had already thought of what was happening on the way back.
"The second brother Han died tragically because of Wen, and Wen was willing to pay for his life with his life!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked, and Peng Da and Zhao Junyong couldn't help but look at each other.
The two of them just wanted to use this incident to suppress Wen Xuan, so as to enhance their prestige and voice in the Red Turban Army, but they didn't expect Wen Xuan's mouth to be repaid with his life.
Han Lingyue, who was sitting at the top, immediately refuted Wen Xuan's words: "Why did the Lord of the Wen Hall say this? This time you put yourself in danger, it is already dangerous to go to Shangcai on my behalf, and if there is an accident, it is something that no one can imagine, if I punish you heavily, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the disciples of the Ming Sect? ”
Luo Wensu also stood up and talked eloquently: "What the holy woman said is right! The Wentang Master's loyalty to the Ming Sect can be learned, and the grudge between him and the colored man Li Chahan was not also concluded in order to quell the rebellion in the Qinglong Hall? ”
Sesame Li stood up like a peacemaker and pulled Luo Wensu, Peng and Zhao to sit down respectively, and said with a smile: "In this way, this incident happened because of the grudge between Li Chahan and my Mingjiao, how can you blame the Wentang Master alone?" ”
