Chapter 31: Killing Xiahou Lie
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.
Although Zao Wou-Ki and Xiahou Lie didn't have much affection, they had been together for many years after all, not to mention that Xiahoulan's father was kind to him back then.
Zhao Yun believed that even if Zao Wou-Ki knew the truth, he would not execute him for the sake of Xiahou Lie's brother's face.
Xiahou Lie must die, and leaving him alive is a scourge.
Thinking of this, instead of withdrawing, the sword stabbed out a little faster. In a hurry, kill first.
Xiahou Lie was already discouraged, but when he heard Zao Wouji's voice, a glimmer of vitality suddenly rose.
But seeing the sword light stabbed by Zhao Yun, the speed was a little faster, and he suddenly shouted in shock: "Boss! Save me! ”
Although Zao Wou-Ki didn't know what was happening, he saw Zhao Yun's determination to kill. Suddenly angry, he shouted: "Xiaoyun! Stop it! At the same time, the figure also flew forward.
The cold light formed a line, and the sword Qi rolled with a strong wind, directly attacking Zhao Yun.
The incident happened suddenly, and the soldiers in the trap all recognized Zao Wou-ki. There was a moment of hesitation, and when he reacted, the best opportunity to intercept had already been lost.
Under the induction of the qi machine, Zhao Yun could naturally detect Zhao Wouji's attack, but he ignored it.
Poof!
Blood shot out, flowing down the blood trough.
The frightened Xiahou Lie looked at Zhao Yun with an incredulous gaze, and his remaining right hand was weakly grasping forward, as if he was about to grasp something.
The sword pierced through its heart, its blade mercilessly emerging from its back, blood still flowing.
Leaning slightly, while Xiahou Lie's head fell, his right hand stretched forward also fell, losing his vitality.
Zhao Yun had a three-foot Qingfeng behind him, but in the end, he still didn't stab down.
The wood is a boat, and the matter is a foregone conclusion.
Zao Wou-Ki reluctantly put down his sword.
Although Zhao Yun is his junior, he is his master after all. He didn't mean to hurt Zhao Yun, just now he knew that it was too late to intercept Zhao Yun's sword. In a hurry, he wanted to come to Wei to save Zhao, but he underestimated Zhao Yun's determination to kill Xiahou Lie.
"I hope you can give the old man a reasonable explanation." Qingfeng returned to the sheath, and Zao Wou-Ki only left this sentence, and walked slowly to the house lonely.
Also returning with Zao Wou-Ki was Zhao Bo. When he saw the master enter the house, he hurried over as well, and gave Zhao Yunbao an apologetic look when he passed by.
Zhao Yun nodded, withdrew the long sword, and there was not a drop of blood left on the sword body, and it was sheathed.
At this time, he found that Cheng Yu's figure was still standing at the door of the next courtyard, and he had been so quiet before, but he did not attract anyone else to come, which was completely his credit.
Cheng Yu was still so rigid, he bowed solemnly to Zhao Yun, and blamed himself: "The son's forgiveness is all due to his subordinates for not stopping the Great Elder." ”
Zhao Yundao: "Mr. Zhongde doesn't need to blame himself, it's no wonder you." No one would have expected that the Great Elder would come back at this time, and even if you could stop it, there would be little explanation afterwards. ”
"If you want to blame me, I can only blame myself for procrastinating in doing things, and I didn't deal with it quickly and in time," after finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said, "After you dispose of this traitor's body, go down and rest." With that, he went into the house by himself.
"Yes!"
After the soldiers of the trapping camp received the order, they began to clean up the scene.
Cheng Yu's eyes flashed. When encountering things, it is really valuable to be able to find the cause from yourself.
Enter the premises.
Zao Wou-Ki stood with his back to him, unable to see his expression, his hands behind his back. Zhao Bo lowered his eyebrows and stood sideways, and when he saw Zhao Yun's inquiring eyes, he just shook his head and was silent.
Poof!
Zhao Yun came behind Zao Wou-Ki and knelt down with his legs bent.
"Great Elder, Zhao Yun is guilty, but he is right!" There was firmness in his voice.
"You!" Zao Wou-Ki didn't turn around, and said, "Okay! The old man would like to hear what Young Master Yun is guilty of, and why he is right! "He has always spoiled Zhao Yun, but now he has even changed his title to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun didn't get up, and said: "Zhao Yun's crime, the sin is not obeying the orders of the elders. Zhao Yun is not wrong, that's because I killed the thief who wanted to plot with the thieves in my Zhaojiazhuang! ”
Zhao Wouji's figure was obviously stunned, and then he turned around and looked into Zhao Yun's eyes.
Zhao Yun didn't dodge, but looked back.
Seeing that Zhao Yun's eyes were firm, it didn't look like he was lying, his heart softened, and he already believed it.
Zao Wou-Ki looked at Zhao Bo beside him again and asked, "You also knew about it a long time ago?" Today it was Zhao Bo who separated him from Zhaojiazhuang, and he found that Zhao Bo was always weird, so he canceled his plan to stay outside the village.
Zhao Bo forgot to glance at Zhao Yun, then turned back to look at Zhao Wuji and said, "Returning to Master, disciple... The disciple didn't know the reason for this, but the disciple believed in the second young master. ”
Zhao Wuji nodded, looked at Zhao Yun again, and said, "You get up first, what the hell is going on, you have to explain it carefully to the old man." ”
Seeing that Zhao Wuji already had the intention of dissipating his anger, Zhao Yun stood up and said, "Zhao Yun understands. ”
At that moment, Zhao Yun truthfully told Zhao Wouji how Xiahou Lie communicated with foreign enemies.
Zao Wou-Ki and Zhao Bo on the side, the faces of the two changed again and again. Unbeknownst to them, so many things had happened in the village.
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Zao Wou-Ki stared into his eyes and said, "What you said is true?" ”
Zhao Yun said firmly: "Every sentence is true, and there is no half-sentence false." "But in my heart, I secretly said that I concealed the existence of spiritual consciousness, which shouldn't be a lie.
Zhao Wuji had already believed seven or eight points at this time, but he still had a feeling of sadness in his heart, and said: "Such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with the old man in advance and then make a decision?" Could it be that you can't still believe the old man? ”
Zhao Yunlian said that he didn't dare, and said, "The Great Elder needs to be angry, it's definitely not that the junior can't trust you. After all, Xiahou Lie is the third elder in the family, and the younger generation is young and soft-spoken, but he is afraid that the eldest elder will not be able to trust the younger generation. ”
"Besides, if you tell the truth, you have to confront Xiahou Lie. It's okay for the Great Elder to believe me, but if he hesitates, it will only startle the snake. ”
Zao Wou-Ki bowed his head and said, "Then why are you willing to tell me now?" ”
Zhao Yun understood that Zao Wou-Ki had already believed in him, and now he was just venting the depression in his heart with his emotions.
"This is the killing of Xiahou Lie today, and he was bumped into by the Great Elder, and he didn't confide in the matter, how can you explain it?"
"The second is that the seventh day of the seventh month is just around the corner, and whether it is true or not, we will soon know."
Zhao Wouji saw that Zhao Yun was talking about the Tao, and complained helplessly: "But even so, you can't kill the third child!" As soon as the words came out, he sensed something strange and said, "That's not right, Yun'er, the third child at least has the realm of the late stage of the Guiyuan Realm, how can you kill him?" And what's going on with those black-armored guards, the old man can see that each of them is not weak? ”
Zao Wou-Ki has now even changed his name to Zhao Yun.
The answer to the first question has long been templated.
Zhao Yun didn't answer and asked, "Have you forgotten that I worshipped a master nearly two months ago?" ”
Zao Wou-Ki was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there was such a thing, when Zhao Yun woke up in a coma and mentioned a mysterious master. It's just that he didn't show up again, and he forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun could become a master in such a short period of time.
Who is this noble man?
Seeing that Zhao Wuji didn't dwell on this issue, Zhao Yun continued: "As for those black-armored guards, it will be thanks to Zhao Bo. ”
When Zao Wou-Ki heard this, his eyes fell on Zhao Bo. He remembered that Zhao Yun borrowed Zhao Bo from him, but he never knew that Zhao Bo still had the talent to train soldiers.
Zhao Bo was frightened, and hurriedly clarified: "Master, the disciple does not dare to take credit. Although these people were recruited by disciples, the others were all thanks to Brother Gao. ”
Zao Wou-Ki said: "Big Brother Gao? You mean the Gao Shun that Yun'er brought back? ”
Zhao Bo replied: "It's Gao Shun." ”
Zao Wou-Ki suddenly asked, "How strong is he, how is he compared to me?" ”
There is no first, there is no second, and comparison is human nature.
Zhao Bo is an honest man, he can't say this answer, so he can only keep his mouth shut.
Zhao Wuji knew his disciple's character and already had the answer in his heart, but he wanted to hear it in person, so his eyes turned to Zhao Yun again.
Zhao Yun thought to himself, the Great Elder wouldn't have masochistic tendencies, right? He replied truthfully: "A single round of force, he should be above you." ”
Zao Wou-Ki knew that he was bored with himself, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What are your plans next?" ”
Zhao Yun knew what he was asking, and replied, "Don't worry, I've already arranged everything." "Now that Zao Wou-Ki already knows the truth, there are many things that don't need to be shunned from him anymore, and it is much easier to do.
Zhao Wouji smiled and looked at Zhao Yun talking eloquently, he found that he was really old, no, Yun'er had grown up.
Early the next morning.
Zhaojiazhuang, as always, what happened last night was like a dream, and no one mentioned it.
The only difference is that there are many fewer helpless old and weak women and children in the village, and they are still decreasing, but they have already been given a reasonable explanation.
In order not to leak the news, and in order to avoid causing panic, Zhao Yun did not announce the matter.
But it does not include the housekeeper Qian Fu.
After knowing the truth, Qian Fu's doubts about some of Cheng Yu's recent arrangements are now also solved.
Time passed day by day, and Zhaojiazhuang seemed to be shrouded in an invisible cloud with the gradually dull air.
Light and four years, the sixth day of the seventh month.
Tianfeng Ridge, Thousand Blades Cliff.
Gao Shun led the 400 trapping camp and had been waiting here for two days in a row.
There were also five people with Lan Shu and Wang Kun's master and apprentice.
Lan Shu was more cautious and rejected Wang Kun's proposal to recall the disciples of the Changshan Sword Sect who had traveled abroad. Although Gao Shun and his trapping camp did give him a great sense of oppression, he did not think that this alone could deal with more than 2,000 people on the mountain.
Zhang Xiao also came.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, although there is a word of filial piety in the name, but he finally chose loyalty.
In the scorching summer, mosquito bites are inevitable in the mountains and forests, but no one complains. The trapping camp is well-trained, and Lan Shu and the others are because of deep hatred.
Wang Kun didn't calm down in the end, and asked, "Gao Zhuangshi, what are we waiting for here?" If you have any instructions from Engong, just tell us. ”
Gao Shun put down the water bag he was holding in his hand, glanced at Wang Kun, and said, "Wait." "It's still as good as ever.
Wang Kun had no choice but to pac away.
Lan Shu, who was not far away, shook his head, and he didn't know how many times he had seen this similar scene. The junior brother was too much to breathe.
After getting along for a week, they have long been familiar with each other. They all know that it is not Gao Shun and arrogant, but temperament.
Gao Shun is waiting.
This is Zhao Yun's instructions. In the bag that Liu Yin handed him, there were all the plans that Zhao Yun had explained.
He's going to wait here until the bandits come out.
If all the bandits come out of the mountain, then they will follow him after half a day, and then they will use the sound of arrows as a signal to form a flanking attack, and kill him by surprise.
If a small number of bandits are left behind, then they don't have to care about the main force of the bandits who left, and they will have to open the mountain gate at night to exterminate the bandits who stay behind.
Rest for the night, and then ambush in the place between Zhaojiazhuang and Tianfengling, which will also be called by the sound of arrows.
Stomp, stomp!
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded.
When everyone looked over, they saw a figure flashing, from far to near, and soon came to the front.
It was Liu Yin, who was responsible for leading people to investigate.
Liu Yin said excitedly: "Senior brother, it's moving!" The bandits are moving! ”
Lan Shu and Wang Kun and the others didn't know why, but Gao Shun understood it, and his right fist subconsciously clenched.
Leaning slightly, Gao Shun released his clenched right fist, calmed down and said, "Explore again!" ”
