Chapter 175: Pretending to be a melancholy ambush
In order to enter Wu County as a fast catcher, Li Mi also served as an apprentice, but after all, he had never done anything about it, and he didn't know much about this kind of thing.
However, he still did this work with respect for his elders.
Wang Hongzhi was not ambiguous, as soon as Li Mi arrived, a large number of officials from the Ministry of Rites also came here.
Fortunately, not long after they set off, it was not too far from Jinling City, and the funeral could not be held here, so they had to help the spirit back to Nanjing and hold the funeral again.
However, it is impossible for Wang Hongzhi and others to go back, and Wang Shizhen's funeral cannot be fanfare, and even must be low-key, because Wang Shi triumphed, this is the main event, in such a day of universal celebration, Wang Shizhen's funeral will not be so beautiful.
After Li Mi was done, he walked out of the room, at this time Wang Shisu was already under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, wearing linen and filial piety, and the rest of the things were also handed over to the people of the Ministry of Rites, which was nothing more than putting Wang Shizhen into the coffin, and then Wang Shisu helped the spirit back to the city.
Wang Shisu was originally ambitious and wanted to make a name for himself in this event, but he didn't know that such a thing happened, and he became quiet.
The atmosphere was gloomy and tight, and no one dared to speak, everything was handled by Wang Hongzhi and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Shisu was like a puppet, let him do whatever he wanted, he would do whatever he wanted, he no longer cried, the whole person was depressed, and it was worrying to watch.
This proud son-in-law seems to have grown up overnight, and there is no longer the previous flamboyance.
At night, the people from Wang Shizhen's mansion also arrived, and the eldest son was an official in the field, although he had already asked people to report the funeral, there was no way to come back for a while.
The family asked the third son Wang Shijun to come over to welcome the spirit, Wang Shijun is not very old, where do you know so much, and the accompanying person is Wang Shizhen's disciple Chen Zhiwu.
Hearing that Wang Shizhen is alive, most of the guests in the house have left, and only a few people such as Chen Zhiwu are left, and the world is also cold.
Chen Zhiwu was originally a member of the Taoist Sect, and he once served as a spiritual official in the palace, and he also had a lot of contacts with officials of the Ministry of Rites, and he was even more clear about the funeral regulations.
With Chen Zhiwu coming to help, everyone was also a lot more relieved, and the next day, the people of the Wang family helped Ling go back.
Before leaving, Wang Shisu seemed to have something to say to Li Mi, but now that he was wearing linen and filial piety, he still didn't talk to Li Mi after all.
Zheng Duofu naturally wanted to go back with him, Xu was afraid of stimulating Wang Shisu, but Zhang Huangting stayed this time.
Zhang Huangting has been out for so long, and he seems to feel a little sorry for Li Mi, and he is not too embarrassed to speak.
Li Mi didn't pay attention to him, put the Qi family knife and the sword on his back, filled the old antique musket with medicine in advance, hid the fetal knife, and then walked out.
Zhang Huangting saw that Li Mi was fully armed, and he was also a little vigilant in his heart, so he followed behind, and Li Mi saw this, and let him follow.
They were only stationed in a small town, and the team of the Ministry of Rites was mobilizing, and the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods were all cowering in the shadows, where did they dare to swagger.
Zhang Huangting was also a little confused, not knowing where Li Mi was going and what he was going to do when he was fully armed, but he couldn't help but feel a strong uneasiness in his heart.
There are no scenic spots in the town, only a sword washing pool, which is said to be the place where Li Taibai, the poet and sword fairy of Tang Shi, washed his sword after getting drunk.
Li Mi sat under the old locust tree on the edge of this sword-washing pool, and his feet were numb from sitting, so he got up and walked around, Zhang Huangting couldn't help but ask.
"You're waiting for someone?"
Li Mi nodded, but shook his head again.
Although Wang Shizhen has no love in life, and her body is like a candle in the wind, after a heart-to-heart relationship with Li Mi, it is not impossible to finally see through the red dust and die suddenly.
It's just that when Li Mi cleaned Wang Shizhen's body, he found that Wang Shizhen actually had a tattoo on his body!
As Li Mi knows, Wang Shizhen is a descendant of the Taicang Wang family who has been handed down with clothes and poems, and has never been imprisoned, has not been assigned, has not been punished, and where did he get a tattoo?
The tattoo pattern was deeply imprinted in Li Mi's mind, and it couldn't be forgotten, judging from the color of the tattoo, it had been some years.
After going through so many things, if you are Li Mi and see this tattoo, what will your first reaction be?
Naturally, it is inseparable from the Heroes Society!
The power of the Heroes Association is all over the world, maybe they are members of the imperial court, or pawns of peddlers, they are pervasive and ubiquitous, it is difficult to guarantee that Wang Shizhen is not a member of the Heroes Association!
Since it is related to the Qunying Society, Wang Shizhen's death at this juncture is very doubtful.
In addition, Cheng Yu has not shown up for a long time, after Li Mi broke up with Zhen Mi, the people on Zhou Yu's side have not moved, all of this is eerily quiet, so quiet that it is uneasy, as if under the calm surface, there is an undercurrent of roaring and roaring!
Zhou Yu has returned triumphantly, the next step is to enter Beijing to face the saint, the greeting team of the Nanjing Rite Department is already halfway, doesn't Cheng Yu have done a little bit?
Li Mi couldn't see any signs of Wang Shizhen's death, and he wasn't sure that he was killed, and he didn't even have the slightest clue.
But he knew that Cheng Yu, like Zhou Yu, was an arrogant maniac, and maybe Cheng Yu couldn't help but come out to see him Li Mi, which was also uncertain.
That's why he came to this sword-washing pool with all his arms.
But Li Mi was still disappointed after all, seeing that the sun was setting, Cheng Yu still didn't show up, and Li Mi could only return to his residence in a huff.
The night was cool, and it was autumn wind and drizzle outside, Li Mi tossed and turned, and he couldn't let go of this matter.
There was clearly nothing suspicious, but Li Mi's intuition was that he couldn't rest assured, even to the point of being suspicious.
Li Mi also thought that maybe he would be too defensive of the heroes, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would become crazy.
Thinking about it like this, Li Mi simply ignored it, since he couldn't sleep, he simply didn't sleep, and came to the courtyard with the sword and sword, and there was no move constraint, the sword in his left hand and the knife in his right hand were waved so casually.
This is a method taught to him by Wu Weizhong, who has persisted so much for many years, even if he doesn't understand swordsmanship, he can cultivate a body of sword energy, which is called a cultivation weapon.
To put it bluntly, it is to cultivate a relationship with your own blade, until the blade becomes a part of your body, so that you can do it like an arm and finger, and you can get twice the result with half the effort when you practice any sword and swordsmanship.
Li Mi is just sending a lonely long night, waving it like this for a while, and it is boring, and he is about to go back to the room to rest, lie down and close his eyes to recuperate, but at this time he suddenly became alert!
"The knife is a good knife, but the knife technique is too bad, I said earlier, now you have a sword, the sword is a good sword, but this time it doesn't even have swordsmanship, it's really a gluttonous thing."
Cheng Yu walked out of the gloomy place of the courtyard, he was wearing a dark robe, he pulled up a bun at will, and there was nothing in his hand, just his hands were caged, and his eyes seemed to be shining in the night, and the eagle looked at the wolf, which made people chill.
His courage was really compelling, and Li Mi's heart was also a little weak, and after a while, Li Mi secretly took a breath and stabilized his mind.
"Does Wang Shizhen's death have anything to do with you?" Li Mi asked straight to the point.
Cheng Yu smiled, and then said to Li Mi: "You are so smart, you should tell me, does it have anything to do with me?" ”
Li Mi inevitably frowned, after all, he thought about it all night, if Cheng Yu killed Wang Shizhen, Wang Shizhen would not be so peaceful.
Cheng Yu doesn't like poisoning, he is too ruthless, he likes blood, and his victims are usually cut off from a part of their bodies as trophies, but Wang Shizhen's body is intact.
But if it weren't for Wang Shizhen, who he killed, this great writer would have died a dead end, so why would he Cheng Yu appear here?
Can it be explained that he and those people in the Qunying Association have been following Li Mi?
Li Mi was so suspicious in his heart, but Cheng Yu seemed to see through Li Mi's thoughts, and smiled at him: "Don't overestimate yourself, I'm not following you, I'm going to Suzhou to trouble Zhou Yu." ”
Li Mi had already guessed that Cheng Yu and Zhou Yu were not allies, if according to the results of Jiang Bi and Lu Kun's investigation, the situation between the Qunying and the Three Kingdoms would be the same, and the camps of Wei, Shu and Wu would be both unified and opposed, so Zhou Yu and Cheng Yu would naturally not be on the same side.
"Since it's troublesome for Zhou Yu, you just go to find it, and come to provoke me again." Li Mi said angrily.
Cheng Yu took two steps closer and said to Li Mi: "I know that Zhou Yu has played you a few times, and you have always wanted to uncover his old secrets, but I want to warn you, if you ruin Zhou Yu's good deeds in Beijing, I will kill you immediately!" ”
When Cheng Yu said this, he exuded murderous intent all over his body, and Li Mi seemed to feel a cold and biting cold wind blowing, and the cold hairs behind his ears stood up!
Although Zhou Yu is also arrogant, but he is as hot as the scorching sun and cannot be looked at directly, this Cheng Yu has gone to the other extreme, like a cold dark abyss, and he has a strange and elusive temperament.
Li Mi tried to control his breathing, and then said to Cheng Yu: "Don't you have a grudge against Zhou Yu?" It should be a good thing for you to expose him. ”
Cheng Yu laughed and said: "You are a smart person, how can you not know the joints, whether it is me or Zhou Yu, you should not walk under the daylight, he Zhou Yu broke the rules, he should be punished, but this kind of punishment must be carried out by us internally, how can you pretend to be his hand, besides, if you expose Zhou Yu, it is equivalent to exposing us to the sun, can't you think of such a superficial thing?" ”
"So......" Cheng Yu's face became gloomy, and he stared at Li Mi like a poisonous snake: "So you are deliberately looking for words, deliberately delaying, am I right or not?" ”
As soon as Cheng Yu said this, Li Mi's body suddenly tightened, but at this time, gunshots had already sounded next door!
"Bang!"
The sound of the old-fashioned musket pierced the night sky, as if the stars in the sky were trembling, but Cheng Yu snorted and laughed twice.
"Do you think I don't know what the hell you're up to?"
"I sat in the sword washing pool for a day during the day, didn't I just want to bring someone over? I didn't expect you to be so bold that you even let that demon who is neither male nor female ambush Cheng someone! ”
"It's a pity, when it comes to tricks, Cheng has never lost to anyone!"
As soon as Cheng Yu said this, Li Mi also knew that Zhang Huangting had been exposed, and he could hear it from the gunshots, maybe Zhang Huangting was experiencing a life and death crisis!
However, Li Mi's ambush tonight is already ready to be launched, and since Zhang Huangting has been delayed, he can only do it himself!
