Chapter 80: The Human Heart Is Sinister
The night song is silent, everyone falls into the comfort after the carnival, no one notices the sound of fighting in the backyard, Lu Bu has completely fallen into the disadvantage, precarious, thinking that the first general of the Three Kingdoms will die here today, and the entire peninsula will be in chaos again, and the time will .......
The sword in the hand of "Wang Yue" is getting faster and faster, but Lu Bu can only dodge, his body is bruised, and the pain of skin and flesh makes him drunk and wake up, while struggling to deal with it, he calmly thinks about how to fight back.
"Lu thief, suffer death!"
"Sword!"
With a broken drink, the long sword swam like a spirit snake, impartial, and went straight to Lu Bu's neck.
Lu Bu stood up, raised a stone bar, and slammed it with the long sword, and the lights and candles around him burst open at the same time, and then extinguished at the same time. Only the ripples of blue light that flowed from the layers of this five-foot long sword gradually overflowed, stirring in every corner.
"Bang"
With a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground, a maid looked at the two of them dumbfounded, and only after a while did she shout in horror: "Quick, come quickly, there are assassins assassinating the prince." ”
This maid is Yan's personal maid, and she was instructed by Yan to come to Lu Bu to send sobering soup, and on the wedding night, if she is drunk and becomes a dead pig, what a joke it will be.
As a big house, Yan has followed Lu Bu for the longest time, and she is naturally thoughtful, but she never expected that her caution would save Lu Bu's life.
The maidservant was terrified, stumbled close to the banquet hall, and shouted in a panic: "Prince...... Assassination of the prince ......"
"Fish bones? Where are there any fish bones......"
Li Kui shouted, dazed, picked up another bowl of wine, pulled a member of the general and shouted: "Come, I will definitely drink you down tonight." ”
Looking at this appearance, all of them were drunk and smoked, where did they still have the strength to save Lu Bu, the maid was so anxious that she was at a loss, and walked towards Zhang Liao quickly, and said: "General Zhang, the prince was assassinated by a man in black in the backyard, you go and save him, ...... quickly."
Zhang Liao shivered instantly, shook his head violently, and exclaimed, "What did you say?" The prince was assassinated? ”
The maidservant nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and directly dragged Zhang Liao away, for fear that she would be a step too late.
Zhang Liao suddenly got up, the wooden floor was rattled by him, and he roared loudly: "Li Kui, quickly gather the tiger fighting team and surround the state pastor's mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”
"The rest of the generals, come with me to rescue the prince."
When Gao Shun heard that Lu Bu had been assassinated, he woke up and strode towards the backyard, damn thief, if he dared to hurt the prince, he would definitely be divided into five horses.
Only then did Li Kui understand that at first the maid was talking about assassination instead of fish bones, and slapped her big hand on her face, Huo Ran revealed five blood-red fingerprints, and suddenly came to her senses and shouted loudly: "I'll go now." ”
……
In the backyard, it has long been messy, and the objects furnished for the celebration are either smashed or broken, and thanks to these objects, Lu Bu can hold on to it until now.
"Lu thief, die!"
The long sword fell from the sky and pierced Lu Bu's eyebrows, and Lu Bu, who was injured all over his body, was no longer able to resist, so he could only watch the sword coming towards him, and the breath of death became heavier and heavier.
"Dog thief, don't hurt my prince."
In the midst of the crisis, Gao Shun was the first to rush over, picked up a thick stick from the corner, jumped into the courtyard, and smashed directly into the hand of "Wang Yue" holding the sword, with fierce force, with the sound of the howling wind.
"Snap"
"Wang Yue" turned around and staggered, the long sword cut off the thick stick with one move, and said with a smile: "This sword of mine, blowing hair and breaking hair, sharpening iron like clay, Lu Bu, no one can save you today." ”
I saw the long sword rise again, piercing Lu Bu's chest, and at the last moment, Gao Shun lay straight and blocked the sword with his body, allowing this sword like clay to penetrate his armor, and he had the decision to die together. Then the steel fist of his right hand smashed into the door of the black-clothed man's face, and ripped off the black cloth on his face.
"Dog thief, aren't you Wang Yue? Who the hell is it? ”
Lu Bu forcibly supported his body, stood firm, looked at the man in black and shouted.
The person in front of him is indeed not Wang Yue, Wang Yue is already over fifty years old, Lu Bu has also seen him in Beijing, this person in front of him is complex, at most thirty years old.
Zhang Liao and the others also hurried over, but they were holding a steel knife in their hands, seeing that Gao Shun was stabbed, they directly cut into it, led the generals to kill it, saved Gao Shun, and fought with the man in black.
Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun with concern, very worried, his life was saved by Gao Shun, and he couldn't have an accident. Gao Shun covered his chest, wiped the blood stains on his robe, supported Lu Bu, and said: "This thief's sword is indeed sharp, even the soft hedgehog armor has been pierced, but his life can be regarded as saved." ”
Only then did Lu Bu ease his mind, he never thought that the soft hedgehog armor he made had saved himself, it was really impermanent.
Although the swordsmanship of the man in black is powerful, but in the face of these generals who crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, it is okay to deal with one or two, these dozen or so are besieged together, where to hold steady, and after a while, they fell into a bitter battle, and after holding on for a while, they were held by Zhang Liao's steel knife and tied to death.
……
The news of Lu Bu's assassination spread from the wind, and on the second day, no one in the entire Daifang County knew about it, and Zhang Liao had already led soldiers and horses to block the four gates, and there were soldiers patrolling the city without interruption.
Dongyi Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, annex wing.
This courtyard is the place where Lu Bu deals with government affairs and discusses major matters, no one has trespassed, and Lu Zhong has been taking care of it, but now the door of the wing room is overcrowded, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Gong and others are waiting here, and even Yan's wives and concubines have not been able to enter, just waiting eagerly.
Lu Bu has been sent here since he was assassinated last night, during which no one was allowed to visit except for Lang Zhong for treatment, and he didn't know what the injury was, and everyone was hanging.
Princess Mingyue's eyes were red, obviously she was crying, it was a happy day, but there was a big mess, and she was very sad.
"The prince has an order, everyone disperses, and everyone is in peace."
Lu Zhong came out from within, gently clasped the door, and announced in a long voice.
These people have been waiting for a long time, just hoping to see Lu Bu, and they are also very down-to-earth, but now they have been persuaded to retreat, and their hearts are even more bottomless.
Yan leaned over and asked, "Little Zhongzi, how is the prince injured?" ”
Lu Zhong said with a worried face: "Big lady, the prince has injured the bone marrow and affected the liver, Lang Zhong said that he needs to recuperate, you let everyone disperse!" ”
"Ah......, the injury is so serious, the concubine wants to go in and have a look."
Yan said sadly.
Lu Zhong was embarrassed: "Don't add chaos to the eldest lady, you know the temper of the prince, if you provoke him to anger and hurt your body, I'm afraid it will be ......."
"This ......"
"All the lords are dispersed, if the prince wants to recuperate, no one can summon him, so he doesn't have to come to visit."
Only then did everyone disperse, and they were all worried, only Li Ru quietly walked at the end, one step at a time, as if his legs and feet were inconvenient, because he had just seen Lu Zhong give him a look, something must be wrong.
"Sir, stay here, the prince is invited!"
Li Ru saw that there were no more outsiders in the courtyard, so he turned around and asked, "Is it really the prince who summoned you?" ”
"Well..., sir, go in, I'll go to the courtyard gate and watch."
Lu Zhong walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked around, and when he saw that no one was staying, he turned back and nodded to Li Ru.
Chirping...
Li Ru pushed open the door, but saw Lu Bu sitting on a tiger skin chair, although he was covered with a white cloth on his body, he was still in good spirits, where was it as serious as Lu Zhong said.
"Lord!"
Lu Bu slowly raised his head, a pair of tiger eyes looked at Li Ru carefully, the cold light in his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, Li Ru had never seen Lu Bu have such sharp eyes, it was really terrifying.
"You're here."
After a long time, Lu Bu spoke, the cold light in his eyes dissipated, and he looked at Li Ru with a majestic face.
"Now there is a big thing that you are allowed to do, and if you do it, don't come to see me again."
Li Ru bowed forward and replied, "Confucianism takes orders." ”
"The people's congress attracts wealth, the tree attracts the wind, Ben Hou has begun to be remembered, you go to investigate this matter quickly, you must find out the person behind it."
"No!"
This matter is not a difficult thing for Li Ru, this man in black can quietly blend into the mansion, he definitely has an internal response, he is not afraid that there will be no flaws, and when the time comes, it will naturally come to fruition.
"In addition, Ben Hou suspects that there are people in the mansion who have different intentions, and the matter is serious, this matter cannot be made public, so it can only be investigated privately, no matter what you think, you must find out this person for Ben Hou."
"Lord, this ........."
Li Ru glanced at Lu Bu in fear, the subordinates of the Dongyi Prefecture Pastoral Mansion are either people who have been with Lu Bu for a long time, or newcomers who have just been recruited recently, they have no reason to betray Lu Bu, and everyone's life history has been checked, when there is no ability to make waves, there is only Lu Zhong except for the next person, but he is Lu Bu's most trusted general, he cannot betray, and there are only four wives left......
Li Ru didn't dare to think about it, it was really a big deal! If this matter is blatantly pressed, it is easy to do, but if it is to be investigated in secret, it is a bit of a sting.
Lu Bu said in a long voice: "You can go and investigate carefully, if you find anything, just explain it to me directly." ”
"Yes!"
"There is still a month or two of ice and snow at the moment, there should be no major war, Ben Hou also has to relax and relax, so he will raise it in this courtyard for ten days and a half a month, and the rest of the things outside, you can help Ben Hou pay more attention."
"No!"
Li Ru retreated with a heavy heart, Lu Bu could trust him so much, how could he dare to live up to it, and went straight to the prison in the city.
It seems to be a simple assassination, but it made Lu Bu suddenly wake up, there are definitely ghosts in this mansion, such peerless sword masters, the tone of his voice is not like an outsider, but a person from the Central Plains, thinking of the previous rumors, all kinds of signs show that he did not guess wrong, and there is a person who makes him very suspicious, but Lu Bu can't bear to do it, he can't believe that it will be true,
Lu Bu's face was cloudy, and at this moment, he finally realized that the reality was very cruel and the human heart was very sinister.
