Chapter 249: Loyalty and treachery are difficult to distinguish

South of Tongguan

Xu Liang and Liu Biao meandered along with 200,000 troops, and there were many people and events, and they stopped and stopped along the way until now they had just crossed Tongguan.

Of course, they definitely didn't stop, and they went all the way to Wang Jing.

It's just that Liu Biao can smell it when he passes through Tongguan, and this fortress that separates the northwest from the Central Plains seems to have a different taste.

The guard general of Tongguan is a young man who has just been called General Zou Soldier, I don't know why, anyway, it feels a little ...... to Liu Biao Sissy, although her age is not fake, but the white and tender skin on her face does not have the vicissitudes of life as a general, and she said that he is like a scholar and a Confucian general, and he has a hoarse duck voice, and when he speaks, Lei Gong sneezes very ugly.

However, the relationship between Duke Xu and this Zou Zongbing seems to be quite good, they have not been in Tongguan for a total of two hours, and they are almost always talking to each other in places where they can avoid Liu Biao and can hear.

There wasn't anything too strange about that, but when they finally left,

Liu Biao watched from a distance as the general soldier of Zou gave an order to close the gate of Tongguan heavily, and then the soldiers in the pass went to the city one after another, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Isn't there still a Xia army in the northwest? Now it's ready to go up so early in the morning, who is this to guard against?

Liu Biao didn't make a sound, just silently remembered it in his heart.

After leaving Tongguan, he walked for nearly 100 miles in one breath, Xu Liang really couldn't walk, so he asked the army to stop and rest.

Liu Biao's eyes looked into the distance without a trace, he didn't know what he was waiting for or what he was calculating, anyway, he was thinking about it in his heart, and muttered in a weak mosquito voice: "Anyway, I have passed Tongguan." ”

Then he nodded slowly and ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate.

This eunuch is much weaker than a normal person, Xu Liang is at this age, when ordinary men are in the prime of life, how can a half-old man like him be supported by two small officials to sit on the big stone next to the road, and he gasped,

After sitting firmly, he looked up and saw Liu Biao sitting next to him silently, so he changed into a smiling expression and asked: "This time it was done, thanks to General Liu's ability to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, actively follow the dragon, and go to His Royal Highness King Yong when the time comes...... Oh no, in front of the Holy One, the position of Governor of the Five Armies that the general wants, I will definitely let Your Majesty do what you wish. ”

"Oh, that'...... Then I have to thank my father-in-law. ”

Liu Biao said very plainly, that feeling was like he didn't care about Xu Liang's request for credit or not, which made Xu Liang wonder very much in his heart, this kid was very attentive when he came to find him that night, why did his attitude suddenly cool down when he came here?

Because Xu Liang thought that he had used the high-ranking official Houlu to take Liu Biao in his hands, and if he took Liu Biao, he would take the 200,000 horses in his hands, who knew that Liu Biao's attitude suddenly changed, which made him feel bottomless.

He smiled again and pretended to be generous and asked, "We are all the ministers of the Holy Dragon now, you might as well say it bluntly, does General Liu have any other requirements?" When the time comes, I will ask for the general. ”

"Nothing."

Liu Biao replied very simply, but after he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and saw a trace of suspicion in Xu Liang's eyes, and secretly regretted it in his heart, as if he shouldn't blurt it out so absentmindedly, so he deliberately explained: "Oh, that...... In fact, my clan sister asked me to go to you privately that day, and I only do things and listen to my sister for everything. ”

"Concubine Hui?"

After Xu Liang heard what he said, the doubts in his heart became even greater, and even the face that was still smiling just now was slightly retracted.

If you want to say that others may still believe it, after all, Liu Biao is a foundationless, and it makes sense that King Yong wants to hold him in his hand and use it, but who doesn't know the grievances of Concubine Hui and the queen before the harem? Concubine Hui is so arrogant and arrogant, she can not kneel when she sees the queen in front of Kunning Palace, and she swaggers away, can she now go to the queen with a low bow? Even if she begged, could the queen agree?

Although Xu Liang didn't show it on his face, he already had a big question mark about this Liu Biao in his heart, this person doesn't look like a shrewd and transparent person, and he doesn't know King Yong, so where did he come from?

It's just that Xu Liang knows in his heart that nothing can be detonated before he arrives at Wang Jing, after all, he still has 200,000 troops in his hands, who knows what he is thinking? In case it was Sun Gonggong who intervened when he didn't know, I don't know,

So now there is no need to find the unhappiness of saying too much for no reason, as long as he hands over the things in his hand to King Yong when the time comes, what Liu Biao Wang Gong is all ants crawling at his feet,

Thinking of this, Xu Liang didn't look back and stopped talking.

merely

He stopped talking, but Liu Biao took the initiative to speak this time, and asked him a question that made his heart skip a beat:

"Father-in-law, did you take that jade seal with you?"

Xu Liang felt that Liu Biao's eyes were like a robber staring at the treasures of the landlord's family, looking directly at himself, seeing that his left eyelid jumped twice, and he no longer concealed his brows and asked him: "This is a divine thing, why do you ask this?" ”

Liu Biao was very alert when he saw Xu Liang mention this thing, and he knew it in his heart, he looked at Xu Liang with a mysterious look, took out a roll of crumpled yellow silk from his cuffs, pointed with his finger, and then pointed to the woods next to the road, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Yong's secret order, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Xu Liang was taken aback when he saw the yellow silk, and now that he thinks about it, he can understand why this Liu Biao disdains the official position he promised, it turns out that he has long been in contact with King Yong, otherwise how could this secret order be delivered to him?

Although Xu Liang felt a sense of displeasure in his heart that he had been tricked, and he didn't have a good look on his face, he still nodded towards Liu Biao, then stood up and walked towards the woods with his hands behind his back.

After walking about ten steps, he saw that the surrounding scenery was almost dimmed, and he listened to the footsteps behind him and slowly followed, before he turned around and asked:

"Tell me, what does Your Highness mean......

"Poof!"

The sound of a steel knife entering the flesh came into the eardrums, Xu Liang looked down in disbelief and saw the red tip of the knife protruding from his chest, turned around with the vitality that was about to pass away, and pointed at Liu Biao with a trembling finger on his face.

"You...... You ......"

Liu Biao picked the corners of his mouth, took out the crumpled yellow silk from the cuffs and shook it for Xu Liang, where is this secret order, it is completely an empty yellow silk handkerchief.

"Are you...... You are ......"

Xu Liang seemed to have suddenly realized now, but the blood that kept bubbling out of his mouth had made him unable to speak completely, his body was crooked, and he died on the spot.

Liu Biao stepped forward and probed the tip of Xu Liang's nose with his hand, and after confirming that he had no more breath, he cursed to himself: "Damn, I'm more tired than fighting, and I will really arrange errands for me." ”

Then he simply stopped the bloody knife in his hand, turned around and went out of the woods.

The two little officials who were waiting by the stone next to the road where he and Xu Liang were sitting just now had also been put to the ground one by one, and there was a sergeant standing in front of him who was still wiping the blood stains on his crotch, it seems that this should be from him.

Seeing Liu Biao coming out of the woods, he hurriedly stepped up to greet him, and arched his hand: "General, Xu Liang's people have all been taken down, and we took out a will and a jade seal from his car." ”

As he spoke, he waved to the soldiers behind him, and held the scroll of Emperor Daxing's will and a jade seal in front of Liu Biao.

Liu Biao pinched the little beast on the jade seal with one hand, picked up the whole piece of jade, turned it over and looked at it, there were a few big characters on it:

Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity

The whole jade seal gives people a natural texture, but there is a piece below that seems to be flawed and missing, and it was made up with gold afterwards, which looks very abrupt, causing Liu Biao to muttered and scolded in a low voice: "Which grandson of this is this, bad things." ”

After looking around left and right, he handed the jade seal to the hand of the sergeant in front of him, and commanded with a straight face: "This! The most important thing is that you take the path overnight and send it in person, and you must not lose! ”

The sergeant also knew that this thing was not child's play, and nodded heavily, "Yes!" Yes, sir! ”

Then Liu Biao pointed behind him again, "Leave this will for me, tell everyone, rest for half a stick of incense, and the whole army will continue to drive towards Wang Jing!" ”

"Yes!"

After the order, Liu Biao turned around and wanted to sit back on the big stone next to it, but he didn't know that he leaned over and noticed that his dark dark brocade robe was stained with a large piece of blood.

"This eunuch doesn't let people live in peace when he dies! It's over, I don't have any clothes to change on the road. ”

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands with annoyance......

Earl's Court

When Gao Ciyi Pegasus arrived in front of the mansion, when he saw the scene in the courtyard, his eyes were about to bleed rapidly, and the entire courtyard was full of corpses, including Xia Jun, Liao Bing, and even the kind of black-clothed man he met in the palace.

In a hurry, he didn't even get off the horse, so he simply rode directly in, and as soon as he jumped into the mansion, he heard a piercing sound of gold and iron from the back house.

Gao Ciyi's crotch steed was four hooves did not stop, and ran to the back house and passed,

"Ah Yi....... Ah Yi! ”

As soon as I stepped into this backyard, I heard a small shout calling to me in the courtyard,

"Who? Where is it? ”

Gao Ciyi looked around anxiously, corpses were all over the field, how could she know which "corpse" came out?

"Ah Yi! ...... here."

It wasn't until Meng Qi, who was lying on the ground, raised his hand towards him with difficulty that Gao Ciyi noticed that the sound came from not far in front of his horse's hooves.

"Meng Qi!"

He hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and rushed forward in three steps and two steps to help Meng Qi up.

"How are you?"

"Oops, oops, pain, pain!"

Meng Qi was helped by him like this, and his face immediately had a painful expression, he grinned and gasped a few times, and pointed towards the inner house while waving his hand at Gao Ciyi: "Leave me alone, it's okay if I didn't hurt much, but I was stabbed in the back, and this breath hasn't come up yet, go first...... Let's go inside first....... Hurry up! The two men went in...... Hurry up, Madame is inside! ”

Gao Ciyi turned his head and glanced sharply at the inner house when he heard this, then gently put Meng Qi back on the ground and patted him on the shoulder, "You hold on, I'll be back soon!" ”

Then he picked up the dry silver spear in his hand and ran to the inner house.

"Boom!"

Where can the hidden broken door of the inner house withstand Gao Ciyi's flying kick, and he was directly kicked on both sides.

Immediately after he jumped into the house, he saw An Xin and Ning Er holding Liu Siyi, who was pale and panting in his mouth, one of the two black-clothed people in front of him was holding his left arm, looking injured, followed by Liu Siyi's angry eyes, and the other person was lying on the ground with a dark blue scimitar stuck in his chest, and he was already out of breath!

"Ah Yi!"

Gao Ciyi saw that An Xin's pretty face splashed a few blood marks out of nowhere, and when she saw him rushing in, a shout was almost accompanied by tears of excitement about to burst out of her eyes.

"Ahem! Cough! ”

Liu Siyi spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground, completely dyeing her already delicate red lips blood-red, and the sickly pale face without a trace of blood was even more vivid, almost relying on An Xin and Ning Er to support her delicate body, she was able to stand up,

I really don't know what it will be like if Anyi sees it.

"Kill!"

Gao Ciyi looked at all this and was almost furious, hysterically accompanied by the anger in his chest and shouted out this word!

Because the other arm was paralyzed by the man in black, only one arm could make it stronger, but it was enough to rake it, and he held up the silver spear in his hand and stabbed at the man in black like a sharp arrow.

"Boom!"

The steel knife erected by the man in black couldn't stop Gao Ciyi's attack at all, and together with the door panel behind him,

"Poof!"

It was directly poked in pair!

Liu Siyi seemed to see that the last bit of danger was relieved by Gao Ciyi, and the tense nerve could no longer support it, if it weren't for An Xin and Ning Er's support, he would almost have to bend his legs and kneel on the ground.

"Sister Siyi, Sister Siyi!"

Seeing Liu Siyi's head tilted and unconscious again, Gao Ciyi hurriedly dropped the silver gun in his hand and stepped over, and asked An Xin eagerly: "Xin'er, is Madam injured?" ”

An Xin shook her head and tears rolled in her eyes, almost crying, "Sister Siyi was already sick, and she was using force just now, I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore." ”

"Okay, Xin'er, you wait, take care of Madame, I'll go and push the carriage outside, let's take Meng Qi back to the camp."

As he spoke, he pulled out Liu Siyi's Ling Xuan Blade from the body of the black-clothed man beside him, for him now, the spear does not have a knife to make it stronger.

Then he turned around and ran out of the house........
