Chapter Seventy-Eight: Opening the Door and Thorning
"That horseman is so ignorant!" Li Jiancheng said a little embarrassed, "Did he really say that?" ”
Glancing at the person who gave the gift, the latter suddenly felt cold all over his body, and hurriedly replied: "The villain dares to be half untrue, he will definitely be thundered and struck by the sky, and he will not die well!" ”
Only then did Li Jiancheng wave his hand and let him go out by himself.
Li Yuanji looked at the two wooden boxes in the Xiande Palace, and suddenly sighed: "There are 100 catties of gold here, and a box of gold and silver utensils, worth more than 100,000 yuan, even a saint is probably tempted, but why is he not tempted!" ”
Li Jiancheng shook his head a little sadly and said: "It's a pity that this late generation of fierce generals didn't serve alone, it's a pity!" ”
The vicious color in Li Yuanji's eyes flashed: "Since we can't get it, then Li Shimin doesn't want to have Wei Chigong anymore!" ”
When Li Jiancheng heard this, he immediately said, "What can the fourth brother do?" ”
Li Yuanji smiled coldly: "Of course I sent assassins to go!" If it doesn't work, then frame him and go to prison, and then you have to die if you want him to die! ”
At this moment, in the palace of King Qin, Wei Chigong knelt in front of Li Shimin with a face full of shame, and explained to Li Shimin the whole story of last night.
After hearing this, Li Shimin immediately helped Wei Chigong up, and said lightly: "Ming Gong's loyalty to me is as solid and firm as the mountains, even if the gold he gave you is piled up to the Big Dipper, I know that Ming Gong's loyalty will not be shaken." You will accept whatever he gives you, and what is there to doubt about that! Besides, wouldn't it be a good strategy to understand his plot by doing so! Otherwise, evil will befall you. ”
Wei Chigong smiled contemptuously: "I, Wei Chigong, look up to the heavens and the earth, and be upright, I'm afraid that he won't do anything!" ”
Li Shimin sighed and said with a heavy face: "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend; The gentleman is easy to mess with, and the villain is difficult! ”
Wei Chigong was slightly stunned.
However, for several days, the "dark arrow" from the East Palace did not come over. Wei Chigong's hanging heart gradually calmed down.
On this day, Zhang Yunwen came to Zuiyun Tower. Lin Ran was walking out, and when he saw Zhang Yunwen coming, he hurriedly grabbed him: "Hmm, this is the news from the inside line of our Qi Palace!" ”
Zhang Yunwen looked at it, but saw that it was written on the paper: "Tonight it is late to assassinate the lieutenant." ”
As soon as he saw these words, Zhang Yunwen hurriedly walked to Wei Chigong's house.
When he came to Yu Chigong's house and handed him the note, Yu Chigong suddenly frowned.
Zhang Yunwen remembered the heroic appearance of Captain Chi Gong opening the door and stabbing in the history books, and couldn't help but itch in his heart, and immediately said to Captain Chi Gong: "Well, Master, although you can take the head of the enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, but in the face of these assassins who specialize in black hands from behind, you may also feel a headache!" Otherwise, Master will open all these doors tonight, and then lie in bed with a long lance, if I were that assassin, I would definitely not have done anything when I saw you like this! When the time comes, Master, you will drink two sentences, like 'If you want to stab, you will stab, if you want to kill, you will kill, what kind of procrastination is like this!'" The Assassin will retreat! ”
Wei Chigong suddenly turned his head and asked with some doubts: "Really?" ”
Zhang Yunwen blinked honestly: "Really! ”
After thinking for a moment, Yu Chigong suddenly slapped his thigh: "Okay!" I'll listen to Yunwen today! ”
So, Wei Chigong immediately placed the female children and servants in the mansion in Zhang Yunwen's mansion, and sat alone in the hall, drinking the fairy drunk sent by Zhang Yunwen, eating the braised meat sent by Zhang Yunwen, and waiting until it was dark.
It was getting dark, Zhang Yunwen saw that the hour was coming, so he wore a night suit and carried a big crossbow, quietly climbed up to the roof opposite Wei Chi Gong's Mansion, quietly lay down, and aimed the big crossbow at the courtyard of Wei Chi Gong's Mansion.
This crossbow is a three-stone crossbow, and its range can completely cover the Weichi Mansion. He was lying here, just because he was afraid that those assassins would attack after seeing such a situation, so that he could help Master when the time came!
After lying quietly for nearly an hour, Zhang Yunwen finally saw three slender men dressed in black and carrying long swords coming to the outside of Yu Chigong's mansion.
The three of them first circled around the courtyard wall, and finally watched strangely as the door of the house was open.
glanced at each other, and saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes!
Is there an ambush? The three of them couldn't help but think about it at the same time.
So, the three of them quickly walked around the courtyard wall again, and then carefully divided into three ways, entered through the gate, and climbed into the courtyard walls on both sides.
When he arrived in the courtyard, he found that the room in front of him was brightly lit and the door was open, and he suddenly did not dare to move forward.
While they were hesitating, they suddenly heard a noise from inside the house, and the three of them immediately retreated quickly, and in the blink of an eye they left the courtyard and reappeared on the street.
When Zhang Yunwen saw this situation, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, this empty city plan really worked wonderfully. However, the arrow on the crossbow in his hand was still firmly aimed at one of the three.
The three of them hesitated for a moment, gritted their teeth again, and slowly entered the courtyard, cautiously approaching the brightly lit room!
Before they could reach the room, however, a fresh breeze blew and blew out a burning candle on the table. The light suddenly dimmed.
The three of them "swished" and exited the courtyard in unison. This speed, just like the Dongying ninjas in the later generations, disappeared with "swish".
Retreating into the street again, the three of them first looked at each other, then muttered together for a moment, and finally rushed into the courtyard at a speed of 100 meters, and ran towards the room where the lights were already a little dim.
At this time, a huge roar resounded throughout the house: "If you want to stab, you will stab, if you want to kill, what kind of procrastination is it!" ”
This sentence is exactly what Zhang Yunwen said by Teach Wei Chi Gong.
As soon as the three Assassins heard this loud roar, they thought that their whereabouts had been exposed, and that they were still in the mood to commit assassination, so they ran out of the courtyard and left the workshop.
Zhang Yunwen looked at the disappeared figures of the three of them, and couldn't help but pout secretly, these guys are not professional!
Although the three of them left, Zhang Yunwen still lay on the roof for half an hour, and then jumped down gently, moved his body, and also turned around and disappeared into the night.
And at this moment, Wei Chigong pushed open the door and looked at the empty courtyard, eh, it's really gone!
The assassination attempt was ultimately unsuccessful due to the Assassin's hesitation. However, the matter is far from over.
After learning the news of the failed assassination, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was immediately furious, punished all three assassins, and then sat down, thinking about how to falsely accuse Wei Chigong.
