Seeing the assassin fleeing, Guan Yu, who was holding the sword in his hand, did not chase after him, and he did not dare to leave immediately for fear that the assassin would return and return.

He turned around and looked at Li Jingcheng with a smile and said, "Guan is a step late, which frightened Lord Qincha!" ”。

Then he restrained his smile, took a step forward with a serious expression, looked at the injury on Li Jingcheng's arm, and asked with concern: "How do you feel, there should be no big problem, right?" ”

Li Jingcheng hurriedly said: "Fortunately, it's just some flesh wounds, and there shouldn't be any bones." ”

Then Li Jingcheng took a step back respectfully, slammed it to the ground, and said sincerely: "Jingcheng thank you Lord Bei for saving his life!" ”。

Guan Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Alas, don't call the prince." In this way, in the future, you will call me a general, just like the brothers in my camp. I won't call you Lord Qincha anymore, how about calling you Brother Jingcheng? I'm just curious, how can you, a powerless literati, have so many enemies eager to take your life? ”。

Li Jingcheng was about to speak, Guan Yu frowned again and said: "I'll talk about it later, I'm in a hurry, General Ben didn't bother to put on his shoes and socks, and his feet were freezing to death at this time." If you don't mind, I'll go to bed and cover your bed for a while. ”

Li Jingcheng smiled bitterly: "General Guan, please." ”

Guan Yu put down his sword, pulled the floating soil on his feet with one hand, unceremoniously pulled Li Jingcheng's quilt, and covered his feet.

A team of sweaty and nervous-looking guards poured into the "Boom" room. When everyone saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned at the same time.

I saw General Guan covering the quilt with a big grin, sitting on the bed of Lord Qincha. And Lord Chincha politely sat across from him, with several corpses lying on the ground, and the room was covered with blood. What's going on?

Guan Yu turned his head to look at the stunned soldiers, and said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and ask the military commander to bandage the wounds of Lord Qincha, drag the body out, and clean the room. In addition, I and Lord Chincha scalded a pot of wine, and prepared a few hot dishes to serve. ”

A lieutenant hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "General Yuguan, the last general is guilty of not preventing thieves from sneaking up late at night, endangering the safety of the general and Lord Qincha, please order the general to punish his subordinates." ”

Guan Yu said with a smile: "You should be punished heavily, you will personally serve us the wine and food in a while, don't sleep tonight, you stand guard outside the door, beware of that gang of thieves who do not give up and return." ”

The accompanying army Langzhong was called, checked and treated Li Jingcheng's wounds, and reported to General Guan that Lord Qincha was indeed fine, and Guan Yu was relieved. The soldiers dragged the corpse of the assassin out of the house, and ordered the innkeeper to cook the hot wine and clean up the blood splattered everywhere in the room.

After a while, the steaming wine and food were served.

Guan Yu raised his wine glass and said to Li Jingcheng with a smile: "Tell me, how did you offend this gang of thieves?" ”。

The candlelight flickered inside the house, and the wind whirred outside the house was intermittent.

Li Jingcheng sat cross-legged opposite Guan Yu, and talked about his experience of entering Beijing to take the exam and how to join the Red Turban Army.

Guan Yu drank and ate food while listening carefully.

Sometimes he grinned, sometimes frowned, sometimes shook his head and sighed, and sometimes applauded.

After Li Jingcheng finished speaking, Guan Yu put down his wine glass and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Jingcheng, I won't tell you, I, Guan Mou, am a rough person, I used to look down on scholars, thinking that most of them lack the backbone of a big husband, and they will only bend their will, wag their tails and beg for mercy, intrigue, and deceive." Today you have changed my mind! What kind of bullshit hall master, you killed it well, and you killed it happily! I toast you! ”。

As he spoke, he filled the glass in front of the two of them with wine again, and served it again.

Li Jingcheng hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "General Guan is serious, in front of Mingyue Village, you single-handedly turned the danger into a disaster, and the little brother admired it very much in his heart!" I give you a glass in return. ”

The two of them were going back and forth, the more they drank, the happier they became, the more they chatted, and a captain hurriedly walked in.

He bowed his head and saluted, "General Guan, Lord Qincha, what should I do with the assassin who was captured alive when he woke up?" ”。

Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "Overnight surprise trial, what tricks to use, be sure to pry his mouth open." Notify the follow-up people, assemble quickly, and once the assassins confess and directly take their lair, they will not be relentless! ”。

After the lieutenant was ordered to retreat, Guan Yu turned his head and said to Li Jingcheng: "Brother Jingcheng, in the future, you will be my brother with a different surname Guan, on this road, but with me Guan Mou, no one will want to touch you a single hair!" ”。

Li Jingcheng hurriedly took the initiative to raise his glass and said: "Su Wending, the king of the north is open-minded, and treats his soldiers like brothers and sisters. Since Brother Guan can afford me, I will be your little brother from now on! ”。

The two looked at each other and laughed, and had another drink together.

Putting down the wine glass, Guan Yu asked, "Brother Jingcheng, how long do you think Daqi can last?" When will I, Dachu, rule the world, so that the common people can stay away from the war and truly live a peaceful life of living and working in peace and contentment? ”。

Li Jingcheng raised his head and said, "Great Qi will die." It's just that the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and it can completely die out in a year and a half. It has a history of hundreds of years, and according to the foolish brother, the current saint of Daqi is by no means a mediocre and incompetent person. His various actions show that he has the ambition to bring Daqi back to life! It's a pity that the big tree of Daqi has rotted from the roots, so it can only be torn down and restarted. ”

Guan Yu nodded and said, "Brother Xian is really extraordinary. At the beginning of the Great Qi Dynasty, he also paid attention to the people's livelihood and hoped that the dynasty would stand for a thousand years. However, as the days became more and more comfortable, the number of corrupt officials increased, and in the absence of strong supervision, the situation deteriorated, and the foundation of the dynasty was eroded and became full of holes. The ever-expanding greed has intensified the elite, the excesses and miscellaneous taxes have made the people's livelihood miserable, the hungry people in the four fields have risen up, the water can carry the boat and the boat can be overturned, and the decline and fall of each dynasty is nothing more than digging its own grave. ”

Li Jingcheng's eyes widened in surprise, he got up and got off the ground, and said deeply to Guan Yu: "Brother Guan keeps saying that he is a rough person, but he has such an insight, and the younger brother is convinced!" A good water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, in a word, wonderful! ”。

Guan Yu's old face turned red, and he suddenly felt speechless. He really wanted to tell Li Jingcheng honestly: I am a thief with culture and ideals, and even that sentence was stolen by me!

Before you know it, it is already dawn, the east is gradually white, and the wind has stopped.

The snitch Guan Yu and the nerd Li Jingcheng actually talked for a night, and they had the feeling of seeing each other late, and meeting their soulmates in the mountains and rivers.

At dawn, the captain came to report that the assassin was too much to torture and had been recruited.

The people who came to attack Lord Qincha were not only the beggars, but also the masters of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect of the Martial Arts Sect.

Guan Yu laughed when he heard this: "It turns out that there is still that group of little ghosts, no wonder you know me!" I think I, Guan Daxia, can be regarded as the number one person with a name and a surname in the rivers and lakes, and the blowing is clanging! ”。

Everyone stared at each other, and they couldn't understand what General Guan was talking about, could it be that his old man had drunk too much?

The lieutenant replied, "The Assassin also confessed that they had intended to take the head of Lord Chincha as a gift to the beggar assembly that would take place in seven days. ”

Guan Yu's face sank, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened them again, with a trace of ruthlessness and determination in his eyes.

He slowly said in front of everyone: "Lord Qincha, General Ben has a proposal: the road is slippery and it is inconvenient to travel, can our envoy be postponed for a few days?" You and I might as well take our brothers to the beggars' meeting to join in the fun, and ask for a cup of wine. ”

Li Jingcheng nodded slightly knowingly, and said with a mysterious smile: "General Guan, Ben Qincha really thinks this idea is really good!" ”。

Most of the capital is covered with snow.

Prince Gong's mansion is full of lights and beaming.

On weekdays, the ministers of the court and the central government who are very close to Prince Gong gather here. Everyone met with haha, everyone's face revealed a joy that could not be concealed, the former Dazai Dong Lin Song was beheaded and confiscated, indicating the rise and growth of Prince Gong's power in the court.

Many courtiers have begun to fantasize that when Prince Gong ascends to the throne, with his own contributions, he can be promoted to several official positions and rank ahead of which minister. Everyone is silently celebrating each other.

Prince Gong's face was red and his laughter was loud. Today, his mood is not ordinarily good, but very good.

The three courteous confidants quietly followed him into the study, and closed the door to discuss important matters.

A minister with a slender face, who looked like a thief with eyebrows and rat eyes, and a very different nose and mouth, stepped forward a few steps, bowed and bowed, and whispered in Prince Gong's ear flatteringly: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, finally removed the stubborn stone of Dong Dazai, and the good days of the prince to reorganize the rivers and mountains and rule the world are not far away." ”

Prince Gong smiled and nodded: "The more critical the time, the more you have to calm down." Speaking of which, Dong Dazai has done some good things, but it's a pity that his head has moved, and he can only be blamed for not knowing current affairs. ”

A minister next to him saluted with a serious expression: "Lord Wang, the thief surnamed Dong not only openly slandered the prince above the court, but the minister heard that he was in the prison before he died, and he did not say anything bad about the prince. The tree is very popular, and I implore the prince to be careful when he speaks and does things in the near future, so as not to be suspicious. ”

Prince Gong waved his hand calmly and said: "Aiqing doesn't know, on the night of this incident, this king entered the palace to meet the saint, confessed his guilt, and asked for punishment. Far from condemning him, my royal brother praised the king greatly. Tell me that blood is thicker than water, let me put my mind at ease, don't believe the villain's provocation, and ruin the brotherhood. The news that Dong Dazai was going to lose his head was also the first one I got it. In addition, the Queen Mother, I have already been checked, so I should rest assured, right? ”。

Several ministers nodded their heads again and again, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Then what's next, what should I do with Old Man Yan of the New Army of the Protector Army?" One of the ministers whispered.

Prince Gong smiled coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Old man Yan must take it down, so as not to spoil me and other big things!" The royal brother gave him a gold medal for avoiding death, but it may not be impossible to put him in prison. ”

At this moment, no one in Prince Gong's mansion noticed that a large group of people with dazzling swords and guns had quietly surrounded the three layers of the palace and the three layers outside the palace by taking advantage of the dark night.

Soon after, an uninvited guest will come to the door with shocking news.
