Chapter 22: The Temple of Virtue
Lu Kai stabbed one person on guard and shouted at the same time: "Who are you!" ”
No one answered, the three of them didn't come over to ask Lu Kai for his life, Lu Kai and Cheng Wei had made a move, and they had estimated Lu Kai's ability in advance, but no matter how they estimated, they didn't expect that he could hurt someone in the blink of an eye.
The four of them didn't answer, and Lu Kai said coldly, "Don't say it?" I want to see how hard my mouth is! Immediately shouted, "Someone, there are assassins!" Together, the four of them panicked, this matter was arranged for the other guards of the Hidden Pawn Office did not know about it, and the guards would definitely treat them as assassins when they came.
Lu Kai was reluctant to deal with them, because his life was too important, if there was any mishap, the plan would collapse completely, and if he caught someone, Fang Wenhou would investigate the origin of these people, and he would not have time to pay attention to him.
Lu Kai had a good idea, but he didn't expect that the person was sent by Fang Wenhou Cheng Weilian secretly.
The four of them had the intention of retreating, Lu Kai knew at a glance that they were going to retreat, and it was estimated that the situation knew that he could not stop the four people, Lu Kai's sword was close to the assassin who had injured him before, as long as he could leave one, he could find out the others.
The four of them covered their faces, Lu Kai didn't know who it was, but even if he didn't cover his face, he wouldn't know him, it didn't matter if Lu Kai recognized it or not, but the others would recognize them, and no one should be allowed to stay, and the other three people would save each other with their swords and let the person get out first.
Lu Kai blocked the attack of three people in a row, Dai Qian was on the roof, the situation was in his eyes, although he was anxious to go down, if he helped, he could help Lu Kai solve the difficulty, but everything would eventually be exposed.
In order to save people from trouble, the three of them were ruthless, and Dai Qian frowned secretly.
Lu Kai didn't know that there was a person in the Pawn Office who cared more about his safety than Dai Qian, and this person was Qi Ying.
Qi Ying's figure flashed and slashed behind the three of them, and the three of them were defenseless and fell to the ground at the same time, and as soon as the three of them fell, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.
The remaining one knew that the guards were coming, and when they saw the back window, they wanted to jump out of the window, Qi Ying's sword was thrown straight into the back of the man, and the sword passed through the chest from the back, and the person was killed by the window.
Qi Ying heard the footsteps of the guards in a blink of an eye, jumped to take off the long sword on the man's back, and jumped away from the back window.
Qi Ying jumped out of the window before the guards came, Lu Kai was surprised to see such a move, it stands to reason that Qi Ying saved the festival and made meritorious service, so he should have stayed to receive the merit, how could he jump out of the back window and escape?
As soon as Qi Ying left, Fang Wenhou led people to arrive, Lu Kai held his sword and stood without any signs of injury, and the four people were already killed on the spot.
Fang Wenhou was shocked when he saw the four people killed, it was not that Lu Kai killed them, but that he was afraid that someone would recognize them as soon as the four people's faces were revealed, and the four of them were sent by Cheng Weilian, and the King of Shu would definitely ask about such a big matter, if Fang Wenhou was worried that Cheng Weilian would take the opportunity to drag him into the water.
Fang Wenhou pressed the surging emotions and entered the house, "It's okay to make the festival"
Lu Kaidao "It's okay"
Cheng Weilian and Qi Ying and Yang Gongtian rushed over at this time, and when they saw that the four people were killed, Cheng Weilian's face immediately turned white.
Lu Kai's eyes fell on Qi Ying, but Qi Ying didn't look at him.
Cheng Wei even exchanged glances with Fang Wenhou with a tense face, and Fang Wenhou immediately said, "Someone, carry the body away"
"Wait!" Suddenly, Lu Kai took a step forward, and stared at Fang Wenhou firmly, "General, don't rush to carry people away, lift the face towel and see who it is"
Fang Wenhou smiled stiffly and said, "Everyone is dead, what's so good?"
Lu Kaidao: "The Pawn Office is heavily guarded, but these people can sneak in quietly, don't the general think it's strange?" ”
Cheng Wei was even afraid that Lu Kai would uncover the face towel, so he ordered, "What are you doing with it, carry people out"
"Yes," the guard stepped forward and moved the people out one after another.
Cheng Weilian suddenly ordered Fang Wenhou to frown, which made it clear that he was in a hurry to carry people out, this was not strange for Fang Wenhou to say alone, if it was two people together, it would be strange.
The expression on the face of the guard next to him didn't show anything, and most of them had some thoughts in their hearts.
Lu Kai's gaze swam back to Cheng Weilian Fang Wenhou's face, Cheng Weilian wanted to fight with Fang Wenhou earlier, but now he is helping Fang Wenhou speak, Lu Kai seems to see something, but there is no evidence and it is not good to speak indiscriminately, and said coldly, "The two of you are so derelict in their duties, don't give an explanation. ”
Without waiting for Lu Kai to finish speaking, Fang Wenhou arched his hand and said, "I will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the envoy in the future."
Fang Wenhou waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat, Cheng Weilian saw Lu Kai's eyes fall on him, as if he saw something, Cheng Wei's eyes dodged, and followed Fang Wenhou away.
Everyone came in like a tide, and then the tide receded, and Lu Kai was left alone in the house.
After a while, guards carried water inside and washed the blood away.
The guard said, "Forgive me, there is no room in the department, and the general will arrange another place to live tomorrow if the envoy is wronged."
The guards retreated.
Dai Qian saw the guards outside the courtyard on the house, presumably the outside of the pawn office is even tighter than here, now everyone is nervous, it is not wise to leave now.
Lu Kai sighed deeply and said, "Come down, you can't get out now"
Dai Qian glanced at his lips and smiled, and entered through the back window and said, "Don't blame me for not coming down to help you, right?" ”
Lu Kai said, "If you come down, I will kill you"
Dai Qian understood what Lu Kai meant, because only by killing him could he get rid of the involvement, "I know, so I didn't come down"
Lu Kai asked Dai Qian: "Have you seen the situation?" ”
Although he didn't specify any problems, Dai Qian knew what Lu Kai meant, "See, Cheng Weilian and Fang Wenhou want to join forces to kill you"
Lu Kai could see it and smiled slightly, "If you want me to die, they don't dare, most likely they want to scare me and let me go back quickly."
Of course, Dai Qian knew that Lu Kai would not leave, so he didn't continue the topic, "I can't change my residence, it's convenient for me to come and go here"
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere"
The tea table was kicked over by Lu Kai before, but now it can't be used, Lu Kai sat on the small collapse, "The Prime Minister's Mansion is going to go again"
Dai Qianda was worried, "Are you still going?" When setting off firecrackers, others will be suspicious."
Lu Kaidao "No way, if you have doubts, you still have to go"
Dai Qian said: "When are you going to go?" ”
Lu Kai thought for a while, "I haven't decided yet, but I can't fly firecrackers, kites, red"
Dai Qian smiled and said, "Good way"
Lu Kaidao, "I can't go out now, if I'm tired, I'll rest"
Dai Qian said, "Don't be tired, you haven't finished talking about Cheng Minghu and King Wei yet."
Lu Kai smiled lightly and continued, "According to my estimate, Cheng Minghu met King Wei a few months ago, the meeting place is unknown, it should be outside the city, Cheng Minghu will not drive there by himself, so I suspect that Wang Da'er is also there."
Dai Qian nodded and said, "How can you be sure that they have met?" Cheng Minghu doesn't seem to have a reason to meet, unless he wants to rebel."
Lu Kai thought about this question and said with a smile, "Northern Shu is the biggest except for the King of Shu, he has no reason to rebel, it is for Cheng Weilian"
Dai Qianqi said, "Cheng Weilian? What does this have to do with Cheng Weilian? ”
Lu Kai told Cheng Weilian and Tuoba Yan about it.
Dai Qian opened his mouth in disbelief and asked, "Why did Tuoba Yan appear there?" ”
Lu Kai didn't say it explicitly, and asked with a smile, "What do you say?" ”
After thinking for a moment, Dai Qian was shocked: "Did King Wei let her go?" ”
Lu Kai smiled, "Only this is possible"
Dai Qian pondered for a moment before asking, "Why?" ”
Lu Kai sighed "coercion"
"Threatened? The purpose is. ”
Lu Kai asked, "Have you heard about the Tiande Palace?" ”
Dai Qian immediately said, "I know, that time the King of Wei Tuoba Hong set up a banquet to receive Zhao Houli, the king of Shu at that time, and held a banquet in the Tiande Palace, the two were poisoned at the same time, Tuoba Hong was poisoned to death, Zhao Houli did not die, but I heard that the poison was deep, the poison was dissolved and the limbs were no longer able to move, it was simply better to live than to die, as for who gave the poison to the present, I have not found it yet."
Lu Kai smiled and said, "Oh? Do you think you haven't found anyone who poisoned you yet? ”
Dai Qian seemed to know the answer when he heard Lu Kai's words, this is the matter of the former Wei dynasty of Northern Shu and Southern Wei, and it has been nearly fifteen years now, no one in the deep palace does not like to listen to it, Dai Qian couldn't help but ask, "Do you know who poisoned it?" ”
Lu Kai sold for a moment, Guan Zi replied with a smile, "At the beginning, I didn't have a clue how much manpower was used in the Northern Shu and Southern Wei Dynasty to investigate, and after so many years, how could it be so easy to investigate?"
Dai Qian was not angry, and looked at Lu Kaidao: "Then what do you mean?" ”
Lu Kai smiled and said, "I don't know, someone knows"
"Anyone?" Dai Qian pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "You mean King Wei?" ”
Lu Kai nodded and said, "I can't guess if I can't find out, I have a bold idea, do you think the person who poisoned him at the beginning would be the current Shu King Zhao Zong?" ”
"Zhao Zong!" Dai Qian was taken aback: "How is it possible!" ”
Lu Kai looked solemn and said, "Why is it impossible?" The matter of fighting for the throne, the father kills the son, the son rebels against the father, and the brothers kill each other are not uncommon, Zhao Houli has five princes under his knees, and now Zhao Zong, the king of Shu, is the youngest, and Zhao Houli's love will not fall on his head."
Dai Qian said, "If it is said to be a beneficiary, isn't it true that today's Tuoba Rui is also"
Mu Xue Xingdao, "Yes, Tuoba Rui was also a beneficiary at the beginning, but Tuoba Rui was deeply loved by Tuoba Hong, and everyone knew that he would be the next King of Wei, even if he was in a hurry, he didn't have to take such a big risk."
Dai Qian thought about it, "It's just that you have to doubt and doubt Zhao Qinmin, because he is most likely to ascend the throne, and now Zhao Zong is the most novel, right?" ”
Lu Kaidao: "At that time, it was unreasonable, you see now that in addition to Zhao Zong, which of his four eldest brothers is still alive?" Some things didn't understand at the time, but after a long time, everything became clear, and the affairs of the Tiande Hall were dead and disabled, and if you didn't understand it, you would naturally be angry with the other party, and if you see it, you will pretend to be confused."
Dai Qian nodded at this time, "I said, why did Tuoba Rui suddenly use troops against Beishu back then, it turned out that he saw the joints, and he was still in a state of intimidation after so many years, and if the hard one didn't work, it would be soft, on the surface, Tuoba Rui was admitting defeat and seeking peace, but in fact, Cheng Weilian was the last move."
Dai Qian sighed and said, "Now I understand why Wang Da'er died"
