13th (10th) of the first lunar month

Seeing that the dagger was stabbing towards Li Sanlang, getting closer and closer to his throat, everyone was frightened and froze in place, they didn't expect Chen Wuji to be so resolute in begging for death, and he didn't even hesitate at all, and at this moment, everyone was at a certain distance from the two of them, even if they wanted to step forward to stop him, they were probably powerless; Li Sanlang didn't struggle anymore, he knew that his martial arts were limited, and even if he resisted, he would not be able to escape it, so he simply closed his eyes and waited for the verdict of fate; Seeing this, Chen Xuanli hurriedly shouted: "Don't! There was a palpable panic in his voice, ready to rush forward.

But Chen Wuji did not hesitate at all, the dagger stabbed directly at Li Sanlang, seeing that it was less than an inch away from his throat, and suddenly there was a "bang", the dagger in Chen Wuji's hand was knocked away by an object, and it was Chen Wuji's waist card that hit the dagger flying, and it was Li Ke who threw it and hit the dagger impartially; From the very beginning, Li Ke was wary of Chen Wuji, his subtle movements made Li Ke realize that he seemed to be hiding a hidden weapon, and Chen Wuji hijacked Li Sanlang, Li Ke has been looking for the best time to shoot, if there is a slight mistake, Li Sanlang will definitely be scattered here, but even Li Ke did not expect that Chen Wuji would act so decisively, and he couldn't help but say that he wanted to take Li Sanlang's life directly, so he could only throw the waist card to stop it in a panic, but fortunately he didn't miss it.

At the same time as throwing the waist card, Li Ke has jumped up towards Chen Wuji, as the dagger was knocked away, Li Ke's fist also reached Chen Wuji's face, Chen Wuji was beaten to the point that he suddenly lost consciousness, both hands sent, let go of Li Sanlang, Li Sanlang reacted quickly, took advantage of the situation to get out of Chen Wuji's control, and returned to the back of Yulin Army, as soon as Chen Wuji fell to the ground, he was tightly pressed by Chen Xuanli who rushed up, Chen Xuanli waved his hand to Yulin Army, one of them hurriedly stepped forward with a rope, and Chen Xuanli tied Chen Wuji to a strong one.

"Pop" A glass of water splashed on Chen Wuji's face, Chen Wuji finally woke up, the scene just now happened too fast, maybe even he didn't know how his dagger flew away, and how he was stunned to the ground, but he looked down at the rope on his body, and already knew that he had no power to fight back, so he could only sigh and close his eyes.

At this time, because Chen Wuji had been controlled, Chen Xuanli asked all the Yulin troops to retreat, Li Sanlang sat down on a chair opposite Chen Wuji, and Li Ke, Chen Xuanli, Zhang Jiuling and other three people stood aside. Seeing that Chen Wuji had woken up, Li Sanlang asked: "Chen Sizhi, I read that you are a man who is willing to do things for the court and the people, so he was transferred to Long'an Division, but why did you act like this?" Now there is no one else, can you say? ”

Chen Wuji slowly opened his eyes, sneered, and said with a little trembling lips: "For the imperial court? Was such a court worth it? Even a wine bag and rice bag like Wu Jiang can be in a high position, all because he is Wu Sansi's nephew. A few years ago, I followed Di Ge Lao and Xu Yougong, full of enthusiasm, birth and death, and countless cases, but in the end, I was just a sixth-rank Si Zhi, is it all worth it? ”

It stands to reason that Chen Wuji should be Wu Sansi's eyeliner, but now Chen Wuji is actually bluntly complaining about Wu Sansi and Wu Jiang, which is greatly unexpected by Li Sanlang, if he really hates these two so much, then why did he take refuge in the two of them? Li Sanlang then asked: "Could it be that this is the reason why you have peace of mind to join King Liang?" Do you want to use King Liang to win your career? ”

Chen Wuji replied coldly: "If you don't rely on the two of you, who can you rely on?" If you are not in a high position, how can you protect the people? ”

Without waiting for Li Sanlang to speak, Chen Xuanli shouted first: "It's a bunch of nonsense, obviously you deliberately climbed to meet it in order to be rich and rich, what kind of shame do you have to say that it is to protect the people?" What kind of conspiracy do you have, don't invite it quickly, don't pretend to be benevolent and righteous here! Chen Xuanli's scolding was not what Li Sanlang wanted to say, so Li Sanlang did not stop it.

After hearing this, Chen Wuji looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "The bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird!" I don't want to argue with you, for now that the matter has come to this, I only want to die quickly! ”

Chen Xuanli continued to scold loudly: "Let you die quickly, how can you be so cheap!" Quickly recruit, what kind of conspiracy do you have! ”

Chen Wuji continued to laugh and said, "What's the conspiracy? Tell you, what can you do? You'd better let me die as quickly as possible, anyway, it's only two days earlier than you! ”

This is unintentional, but it sounds intentional, whether Chen Wuji's "two days earlier" is casually said, or does it mean something else, this makes Li Ke inevitably a little uneasy, could it be that there is a bigger conspiracy behind this? Li Sanlang knew that if he forced a confession like Chen Xuanli, it would be useless to Chen Wuji, so he changed the topic and asked: "When did you take refuge in King Liang?" ”

Chen Wuji has long lost his previous nervousness, now that the matter has come to this, Chen Wuji has no scruples at the moment, he sneered and said: "Li Sicheng's question is indeed a big mistake!" What kind of people are Wu Sansi, and they are also worthy of my refuge, relying on their relationship with His Majesty, stealing a high position, and eating the people, how can I take refuge in him, at most, it is to exchange news, in order to seek a way to be promoted! ”

Li Sanlang's tone softened, and he continued to ask: "Okay, when did you start exchanging messages?" ”

Chen Wuji continued to sneer and replied: "Li Sicheng is right to ask so, I can also tell you bluntly, on the day you transferred me to Long'an Division!" ”

His answer shocked Li Saburo, this matter was indeed beyond his expectations, Li Saburo continued to ask suspiciously: "Why are you like this?" ”

Chen Wuji continued: "Why? Li Sicheng can't even figure this out? If it weren't for Li Sicheng's transfer to Long'an Division, then I may have been such a six-grade petty official in my life, and I will never come out, but thank Li Sicheng, your transfer has made me valuable in the eyes of Wu Sansi, and I should take refuge! In this way, if Wu Sansi takes the lead in solving the case, I will make the first contribution, and I will be promoted, if you Li Sicheng leads the case, then I will also be the first contribution? Why not? ”

Chen Wuji said that, Li Sanlang was about to speak, but Chen Wuji glanced at Li Ke with hatred, and preemptively continued: "It's you Li Ke who is hateful!" Since the appearance of you, Wu Sansi has regarded you as a guest, and Long Ansi has also awarded you important positions, no matter who can take the lead in gaining it, it is your credit, and who will remember my Chen Wuji! Hateful! After that, Chen Wuji's eyes showed a fierce light, his teeth were clenched, and he wanted to get up and kill Li Ke now, but even if he was not bound, he didn't have the ability, so he hated Li Ke from the bottom of his heart, but maybe he also had envy. Things in the world are like this, many people spend their efforts in vain, but some people are extremely talented, and everything can be taken and wanted, and Chen Wuji obviously belongs to the former.

At this point, Li Sanlang understood why Chen Wuji was like this, and Li Ke also had mixed feelings in his heart, so he gave a salute and said: "It turns out that Chen Sizhi has such a deep misunderstanding of Li, Li is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he has never wanted to get involved in officialdom. ”

After hearing this, Chen Wuji sneered, and continued: "You are easy to say, the matter has come to this, then there is no need to say more, since you are a person from the rivers and lakes, then follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, do it!" I also want to die cleanly! ”

Without waiting for Li Sanlang to speak, Chen Xuanli shouted: "You, a snake and rat at both ends, I hate such a person the most in my life, and today I have fulfilled your wish to vent your anger that you want to kill Si Cheng just now!" With that, he pulled out the saber at his waist and prepared to step forward to kill Chen Wuji.

"Wait!" Li Ke hurriedly stopped, "General Chen, don't be impulsive, this matter is not so simple!" ”

Hearing Li Ke say this, Li Sanlang, Chen Xuanli, and Zhang Jiuling all looked at Li Ke, and the three of them were all puzzled, could it be that there is a mystery behind this matter? But before Li Ke could speak again, Chen Wuji hurriedly yelled at Chen Xuanli: "You hurry up?" Don't you dare? The words were full of provocations, Chen Xuanli was so provoked that he wanted to step forward and kill, but since Li Ke stopped it, it must have his reason, even though Chen Xuanli was angry, he still forcibly held back, and listened to what Li Ke said.

Li Ke took a step forward, sneered at Chen Wuji and said, "Chen Sizhi, why are you so anxious to die? Are you beware of the loopholes in what you just said, and you can't justify yourself? ”

As soon as Li Ke said this, Chen Wuji, who had already calmed down, trembled unconsciously again, and said anxiously: "What's the loophole?" Thou shalt not play tricks again, I do not want to be humiliated, but I want to die quickly! Hurry up! After that, he looked at Chen Xuanli again, as if hoping that he would make a move as soon as possible.

Although Chen Xuanli is a martial artist, his mind is still quite delicate, Chen Wuji must have a problem begging for death like this, so he simply inserted the saber into the scabbard and said: "It seems that Li Duwei is reasonable, this person wants to die quickly, there must be fraud in it, I won't be fooled today!" ”

Seeing Chen Xuanli acting like this, Chen Wuji's disappointment was beyond words, he knew that the most irritated person of the four people in front of him was Chen Xuanli, even he stabilized his emotions, and the other three were even more likely to be moved, so he could only sigh, close his eyes, and stop talking.

Li Sanlang opened his mouth and asked, "Captain Li, what's so special about this matter?" I really don't notice it, and I hope to give advice. ”

Li Ke didn't answer Li Sanlang directly, but walked in front of Chen Wuji, squatted down, and said coldly: "I don't know what Chen Sizhi said just now, what do you mean by just two days earlier?" Two days! In this way, what is the conspiracy of Shangyuan Festival and others? ”
