Volume 9 Xianyang Fengyun Chapter 9 Counterattack II
In the candlelit secret room, the dog butcher sat silently, his face calm, and he did not feel tired at all as if the wooden flails and heavy shackles weighing dozens of pounds on his body had not been added to him. Outside, hundreds of officials and soldiers surrounded the secret room, and the four girls of the fire phoenix were also guarding them, and the dog slaughterer could not escape even if he had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth at this time.
A soft sedan chair carrying the 'hidden old man' followed Fusu outside, and when he saw such a big battle from a distance, the old man couldn't help but shake his head, and whispered to Fusu: "Fusu, there are too many people, it is not appropriate to act in secret, tell them all to withdraw!" With the old man here, it's enough! ”
Fu Su nodded, and said to Wuxin: "Tell Huofeng, they and the guards to all retreat!" Wuxin nodded, and went to pass the order. Suddenly, the four girls of the Fire Phoenix and the Lang officials all retreated, leaving only Wuxin and the other five people to stay.
Fusu opened the door of the secret room and accompanied the old man into the room proudly. At this time, when the dog butcher heard the sound of the door moving, he didn't even move, but just closed his eyes and thought, as if he didn't even have the interest to open his eyes and see!
The old man, who was now a little unsteady on his road, recognized the dog butcher at a glance, his expression immediately became flushed, and his hands trembled a little, and Fusu hurriedly helped the old man to sit down. The old man was excited for a long time before he called out in a trembling accent: "Little dog, remember me?" ”
The dog butcher was closing his eyes and thinking, his heart was like an ancient well, and suddenly he heard this kind call in his ear, and his spirit seemed to return to his childhood. At that time, the dog butcher was only about ten years old, very naughty and cute, and in addition to learning from the old man, he liked to play with the puppy raised by the old man, so the old man usually called him affectionately 'little dog'!
The dog butcher quickly opened his eyes, and at a glance he saw the drooping old man sitting in front of him: that peaceful demeanor, that godly eyes, and that unique demeanor immediately made the dog butcher exclaim: "Teacher!?" The old man smiled kindly, and beckoned to the dog butcher with his skinny right hand: "Come, let the master take a look at you, I haven't seen you for thirty years!" ”
The dog slaughterer immediately felt that his eyes and nose were as if he had been punched heavily, and he suddenly became sore, tears and snot flowed down together, and he hurriedly climbed a few steps to the old man's side with dozens of pounds of wooden flail and shackles, and slammed his head on the ground and cried: "Master, since Handan in the past years, the dog has been looking for his teacher for many years but there is no trace!" Today finally saw the teacher yesterday, the dog is happy, happy, so happy! ”
Seeing the dog butcher, a mighty man who regarded death as his home, crying like a child beside the old man, the stunned Fusu couldn't help but swallow his saliva violently, his eyes were also a little moist, and he sighed in his heart: "A man with affection and righteousness!" ”
The old man caressed the dog slaughterer's hair lovingly, turned his head to Fusu and said, "Fusu, help the ancestor and grandfather open the shackles!" "Yes!" Fusu answered and took out the key. Only then did the dog butcher find that Fusu was standing quietly beside the old man!
The shackles were opened, and the dog butcher glanced at Fusu, did not speak, but knelt heavily in front of the old man: "Master, the dog originally wanted to serve your old man and grow old in the forest, but now he can't!" The dog is about to die, time is running out, and he can only wish the teacher a peaceful old age under the nine springs! ”
The old man stroked the dog butcher's hair and sighed repeatedly: "Idiot, idiot, don't you know that you are very confused? Hearing this, the dog butcher raised his head, wiped the tears on his cheeks, and said in surprise: "What does the teacher mean by this? ”
The old man smiled slightly: "Do you know why the old man is here?" Hearing this, the dog butcher looked at Fusu hatefully, and said respectfully: "The dog doesn't know, but someone told the dog that your old man is in Linzi, and the dog has almost looked for your old man in Linzi for more than a year, and almost turned over Linzi City!" ”
Fusu's face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't dare to speak.
The old man laughed and said, "The old man knows everything between you and Fusu!" The reason why the old man is here is because the old man is not only the mentor of the current King of Qin, but also the mentor of Fusu! Do you understand? The dog butcher was stunned, looked at Fusu, and said nothing. Obviously, he thought that Fusu had told him that he was lying to Linzi by going out of the same door, but now that he confirmed that he was in the same door, he couldn't help but be a little stunned!
The old man smiled kindly and said happily, "Do you know why the old man accepted Yingzheng as a disciple?" Because the Seven Kingdoms are in turmoil, the war is not endless, the lives of the people are miserable, and the water is in dire straits, if we want the people to live a good life of peace and health, the world must be unified! Among the Seven Kingdoms, only Qin State, who has been working hard, has this wish and the strength to complete the old man's wish, and the genius of winning the government is also very suitable for becoming an eloquent emperor through the ages to complete the immortal hegemony of the unification of the world! That's why the old man won the government as an apprentice, and then came to the Qin State! ”
Saying that, the old man looked at the dog butcher and said meaningfully: "Do you understand the meaning of what the old man just said?" The dog butcher thought for a moment and said respectfully, "Please ask the teacher for guidance!" ”
The old man closed his thoughts and said slowly: "Jing Ke, he is just a ranger, although he dies, it will not harm the world!" But if King Qin wins the government and dies, the world will inevitably fall into chaos again, and the people will be in dire straits again! Therefore, Jing Ke died, but King Qin couldn't die, you should understand this truth if you are so smart! The reason why Fusu deceived you into going to Qi was because he thought of the friendship of the same family, and he didn't want you to come to Qin to die; As for Jing Ke, although Fusu is not so much a personal friend, but under his own master, he can only kill him with tears! You may not know that for a period of time after Jing Ke's death, Fusu was almost always depressed and unhappy, and often played the farewell song of Gao gradually leaving Yishui in the palace all night, until the situation improved after the expedition to Wei! Therefore, you are really confused to assassinate Fusu for the sake of Jing Ke's death, sacrificing the great righteousness and giving up the small righteousness, which is not the work of a true hero! ”
The dog butcher was silent when he heard this, and anyone who said this speech may not be listened to by the dog butcher, only the dog butcher will listen to what the old man says, and he will think seriously!
The old man looked at the somewhat sad dog butcher, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and sighed: "Idiot, idiot, I know that you have always valued love and righteousness, and you want to avenge your best friend!" However, it can be said that in the future world, Fusu is as important as winning politics! Although Ying Zheng is eloquent and strategic, he is too tyrannical and killing, and no one dares to oppose him in the world, if he dies, the world will inevitably fall into flames again. At that time, who will redefine the world will be crucial. And Fusu children are both wise and brave, and benevolent and humble, so they are the most optimistic candidates for the old man! Therefore, a thousand Jing Ke can die in the world, and not a single Fusu! ”
When the dog slaughterer heard this, he looked at Fusu and said with a wry smile: "What the teacher said made the dog suddenly, but unfortunately it was too late!" ”
The old man smiled wisely and said, "It's not too late, it's not too late!" Now that it is dawn, although you are the same door as the king of Qin, you will inevitably die in the strict Qin country; But now it's not dawn, and King Qin doesn't know about it, as long as Fusu lets you go, you can get out safely! ”
The dog butcher looked at Fusu in surprise when he heard this, obviously not believing that Fusu would let him go! Hearing this, Fusu immediately bowed down and said, "As long as Brother Slaughter Dog wants to leave, you can do it at any time!" ”
The dog butcher was moved when he heard this: "Are you really willing to let me go?" Fusu nodded firmly: "And I can give you a military warrant, and you can deceive him as my envoy to the Sanchuan fiefdom, get out and send a letter to Guguan!" ”
The dog slaughterer sighed when he heard this, and burst into tears again: "Jing Ke, God's will is like this, I have done my best!" ”
Hearing this, Fusu looked at the old man, and the old man understood, and smiled faintly: "Dog, who helped you when you entered the palace this time?" The dog butcher hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said, "Everything can't be hidden from the teacher!" It was Li Si who helped me forge my identity, and provided a lot of money to help me bribe Lang Zhongling Meng Jia, so that I could enter the palace! ”
Fusu and the old man glanced at it when they heard this, and suddenly realized: This is what happened, this Li Si is a good plan to kill people with a knife! The matter is successful, Fusu dies, he Li Si sits on the harvest of his success, Meng Jia top the tank: the matter is defeated, the dog slaughterer dies, and Meng Jia also has to die with him, but Li Si is only hidden behind the scenes, as long as he refuses to admit it, just one identity certificate, many secret organizations can make it, and he can't be convicted of his crime at all! No wonder Li Si dared to send an assassin to assassinate him at such a suspicion!
The old man closed his eyes and thought about it, and said: "Meng Jia, although he is a member of the Meng clan, he has always been greedy for money and lustful, and he is close to the Li Si party, this time we can take the opportunity to get rid of him and replace him with a trustworthy person, which is beneficial to our side!" In addition, Fusu, if he doesn't fight back this time, it will inevitably make Li Si, Zhao Gao and others even more arrogant! The old man has a plan, you see how! ”
The old man stroked his beard and thought for a moment and asked, "Fusu, how many people in the Assassin's True Identity Mansion know today?" Fusu thought for a while and said, "They are all henchmen and guards, and ordinary officials don't know about it!" ”
The old man nodded, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Fusu, didn't you tell the old man that you wanted to get rid of Yao Jia?" Now is your chance! Zhao Gao can't be moved lightly now, Li Si must have already gotten the news of the assassination failure now, he must be prepared, it is not easy to kill, but it is the right time to remove Yao Jia! Fusu was overjoyed and said: "Grandpa, will the plan be released?" ”
The old man smiled wisely (insidiously): "This plan requires the dog's help!" Dog, you leave the palace immediately, and we claim that you suddenly took off your shackles, grabbed your sword and fled. Then, you immediately sneak to Yao Jia's mansion and assassinate Yao Jia, of course, you have to leave your Langzhong's waist card on the spot! Then, you immediately sneaked out of the Qin Kingdom! In this way, things will become confusing: after a check, a real unknown Lang official in the palace first assassinated Wu Anjun, and after being arrested, he suddenly escaped, but he rushed to Yao Jia's mansion and killed Yao Jia! Who instructed it, what motives it was, I'm afraid this confused account will never be able to find out! ”
Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great! In this way, Yao Jia can be killed, and Li Si and the others will not dare to go over again! ”
It's really worthy of Jiang who is still old and spicy, and immediately instigated a beautiful counterattack!
The dog slaughterer was a little sluggish when he heard this, and said gloomily: "The teacher has a life, and the disciples should obey it!" It's just that if this is the case, the disciple has just met his teacher, but he has to stay away from it, and it is really difficult to give up in his heart! ”
Hearing this, the old man stroked the cheeks of the dog butcher with his thin hands, and said sadly: "Idiot, idiot! If it is providential, you will be useless and sad! I live well in the Qin Kingdom, and I am very happy to see my ideals come true step by step! You are dissolute by nature, you don't like to be inhibited, and you don't fit here! Go ahead and find your own paradise! When the dog butcher heard this, he fell into a state of grief and knelt down in front of the old man and wept bitterly.
Fusu quietly got up, went outside, and whispered a command to Wuxin, who was a little surprised, but still went to fetch a fine sword, a talisman, and some gold!
Fusu handed these things into the hands of the dog slaughterer, bowed down and said, "Brother Dog Slaughter, please leave the matter to you!" ”
The dog butcher nodded silently, put on a few things, kowtowed three more times in front of the old man, and said reluctantly: "Take care, the apprentice is gone!" The old man also patted the dog butcher on the shoulder with some sadness, closed his eyes and said, "Go ahead, be careful!" ”
The dog butcher nodded, gritted his teeth, got up and led out of the secret room in Fusu.
Watching the dog butcher jump onto the roof of the house, he disappeared into the night, and said with some wonder: "Why did the king let him go?" Fusu smiled mysteriously and said: "There are benefits to putting it naturally, and there will be a good show tomorrow morning!" Wuxin and the others looked at each other, as if they didn't understand!
Fusu looked at the five people and said with a smile: "I don't understand, I will understand tomorrow!" Now it's time to say, 'Assassin escape, catch Assassin'!" The five Wuxin laughed bitterly, and had to shout loudly in cooperation: "Come on, the assassin has escaped, catch the assassin!" ”
Hearing this chaotic shouting, there was a lively scene in the Lingyan Pavilion again, and the Lang officials and soldiers flocked over, and the big rope flipped over, of course, in the end, they didn't even catch a single hair!
******
The next day, on the main hall of the Xinnian Palace, the Wenchen of the Qin State entered the palace one after another, because they had already heard that the assassination incident occurred in the Lingyan Pavilion last night, so everyone was talking about it one after another. That look kept glancing at Li Si, obviously suspicious! Li Si sat still with a flat face, meditating like an old monk!
At this moment, Fusu entered the hall, and the generals had always respected Fusu and hurriedly greeted him.
Meng Tian looked at Fusu and said eagerly: "The ministers heard that there was an assassination incident in the king's mansion last night, is the king okay?" ”
Fusu smiled, glanced at Li Si, and said loudly: "It's okay, you can't die!" If it weren't for the fact that Benjun has always been cautious in his daily life, I'm afraid he would have really fulfilled the wishes of some thieves! Looking around, seeing that Yao Jia's position was vacant, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that the dog slaughterer must have succeeded!
Wang Juan and Feng Xuan, Wei Bureaucrats, Meng Wu, Feng Qujian and other important ministers of the Qin State also surrounded them, hearing this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and didn't dare to say much, the good old man Wang Juan just smiled and said: "It's okay if the king is fine, it's really my blessing to Daqin!" As the saying goes: Heaven is clear, and the villain will have a day when he will be subdued! "Yes, yes!" The hearts of the people were complicated and casually agreed.
Suddenly, a melodious drum music sounded outside the hall, and then a sharp voice sounded: "The king has arrived!" ”
Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly returned to their places and bowed to the ground!
Qin Wangzheng, who had an angry face, strode into the main hall, majestically ascended the throne, shook off the black sleeves of the rolling dragon, and said coldly: "The widow heard early in the morning that Wu Anjun was assassinated last night. As he spoke, Qin Wangzheng's eyes sharpened, his eagle eyebrows raised, and he looked directly at Meng Jia like an angry dragon!
Meng Jia knelt at the bottom of the stairs at this time, and was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, so he hurriedly knelt down and climbed a few steps out of the queue in a panic, and kowtowed again and again: "The ministers are dead, the ministers are dead, the king forgives the sins, the king forgives the sins!" With that, Meng Jia pitifully asked his former fox friends for help.
However, Li Si and Zhao Gao saw that the Qin Wangzheng was in a rage, and knew that the Qin Wangzheng had the most unstable temperament at this time, killing people at every turn, and everyone was still flawless in protecting themselves, how dare they ask for their own bad luck, so they lowered their heads and turned a blind eye! And the upright people in the court are even more secretly happy in their hearts, and they are completely standing by and watching!
Looking at Meng Jia's scumbag appearance, Qin Wangzheng frowned, and said in disgust: "Such an incompetent person, how can a widow use you to be the commander of Lang Zhongling!" Where is Tingwei? Feng Zheng responded and said in a high-spirited voice: "The minister is here!" ”
"Remove all titles from Mengjia and hand them over to the Imperial Lieutenant Office for interrogation of his dereliction of duty!" The murderous Qin Wangzheng almost immediately pronounced Meng Jia's death sentence!
Poor Meng Jia's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he immediately collapsed to the ground in fright. Tingwei, this torture yamen, it's easy to get in, it's hard to get out!
"Yes, King!" Feng Zheng had already seen that Meng Jia was not pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't help but answer the order loudly!
"Wang'er, the palace attendant came to report your assassination this morning, what is the specific situation? Have you ever been hurt? "Qin Wangzheng still cares about Fusu very much, and immediately asked with concern after disposing of Meng Jia!
Fusu said respectfully: "Father, the son-in-law is fortunate to be cautious and well-guarded on weekdays, so the assassin did not hurt the son-in-law, but was captured by the son-in-law!" It's just that this stabbing martial art is very good, and he can shrink the bones, and when Erchen led people to interrogate first, he was taken off his shackles and suddenly attacked. The ministers were caught off guard for a while, and they were actually escaped! Please ask your father to order Dasuo Guanzhong to arrest this person! ”
Qin Wangzheng was taken aback when he heard this: "This assassin is so powerful? Fusu nodded and said: "Exactly, Erchen and Qi Hong, as well as the best nine guards and hundreds of Lang officials, joined forces to round up and capture him, which shows his success!" ”
Qin Wangzheng's face couldn't help but change, Qin Wangzheng, who was obviously very concerned about his own safety, couldn't help but be very worried about the safety of the palace when he saw that there were such assassins in the world! Seeing this, Fusu was overjoyed, and said: "Father, Meng Jia is a greedy and incompetent person who is unworthy of a big responsibility, and Meng Yi, the eldest son of Mengwu, is steady, calm and sophisticated, and is famous for the government and the opposition. ”
Qin Wangzheng is also very fond of Meng Yi, Meng Tian and other ordinary young generals, and when he heard this, he flicked his sleeves and said majestically: "What Wang Er said is very good, okay, let's do it!" Zhao Gao, for the widow, appointed Meng Yi as Lang Zhongling! "Yes, the minions obey!"
At this moment, suddenly, a eunuch suddenly said in a loud voice from His Royal Highness: "Lord Tingwei Zuo Shi Zhou Gu has an urgent matter to see the king!" Qin Wangzheng frowned and said, "Xuan! ”
"See you Zhou Gujin!"
A tall, thin, and powerful official hurried in, but it was Zuo Shi Zhougu, the court lieutenant. Seeing Zhou Gu's grim face, he bowed down and said: "King Qiqi, Chen Shi just received an urgent report that Lord Yao Jia was killed by an assassin in the mansion in the early morning!" The minister was shocked when he heard the news, and rushed to the subordinate officials, and saw that Lord Yao Jia was already in a different place. Chen quickly inspected the scene, only to find that Lord Yao Jia had a Langzhong token in his hand, and nothing else was found! Please take a look! ”
Only then did everyone notice that Yao Jia, the guest secretary, had not arrived today, and everyone was so busy just now that no one noticed it! Li Si, who was familiar with the inside story, suddenly changed his complexion, sweating densely on his forehead, although he was smart and didn't know what happened in it, he still immediately guessed the cause of Yao Jia's death, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened in his heart!
Yao Jia was respected as a guest by King Qin, which is an important position in the court second only to the prime minister! Although the position of guest secretary is not a powerful position, it is also a very honorable position, which is specially set up for the Qin State to recruit wise men from various countries in the Kwantung region, and there are often people in history who are promoted to prime ministers. Therefore, Yao Jia's death couldn't help but make all the civil and military forces shocked, and when the DPRK was neutral, it was like a storm blowing and the discussion began!
Qin Wangzheng's face was suddenly covered with a layer of dark clouds, and he stretched out his hand to take the Lang Zhongling that Zhao Gao forwarded, and couldn't help but be furious at a glance, and threw the token at the bottom of the steps, and said angrily: "How can this be true, first there were assassins who assassinated Su Wang'er, and then there were palace officials who assassinated the guest of this dynasty, how did this Lang Zhongling Meng Jia do things!" Tingwei, strictly investigate Mengjia's crimes, raid his mansion, and report to me quickly! "Yes, my lord!" Feng Zheng hurriedly responded!
The officials immediately shook their heads for Meng Jia, knowing that they had repeatedly angered King Qin, and this Meng Jia was so dead that he couldn't die anymore!
Seeing this, Fu Su hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father, the palace is heavily guarded, ordinary assassins are absolutely not allowed to enter, and the minister suspects that the assassin who assassinated the minister is also a person in the palace, and the two cases can be investigated in detail together!" The minister once ripped off the assassin's veil and found that this person was tall and tall, with a mane and leopard eyes, so that the court lieutenant could carefully inspect the people in the palace, and be sure not to expose the thief's net! ”
Hearing this, King Qin nodded and said: "Reasonable, Tingwei, the widow ordered you to investigate this matter thoroughly, you can interrogate all the officials and deacons in the palace, and be sure to find out the clue for the widow!" Otherwise, the widow will ask you! Feng Zai was startled, and hurriedly said: "Weichen must do his best to find out this case!" ”
Immediately, Tingwei Yamen immediately moved, and in only one day, the case was investigated: according to the waist card, Feng Zai immediately found out that the assassin who assassinated Yao Jia was the new Langzhong Lin Hai, and after further investigation, this Lin Hai turned out to be the same as the assassin who assassinated Wu Anjun Fusu! Following this clue and continuing to investigate carefully, he found that Lin Hai was introduced into the palace by Meng Jia, so the enraged King of Qin ordered Dasuo Guanzhong to arrest the assassin 'Lin Hai', and at the same time tortured Meng Jia!
Of course, after a period of time, the assassin 'Lin Hai' was nowhere to be found, and even the so-called identity certificate was found, which was purely forged, so all the blame was placed on Meng Jia's head. Although in the end, it is really unclear why Meng Jia sent assassins to assassinate Fusu first and then kill Yao Jia, but there is ironclad evidence under which mountain, how to allow him to deny it! So, three months later, Qin Wangzheng ordered that the Mengjia clan should be beheaded in the city!
Poor Meng Jia made a substitute for Li Si and Fusu, although both sides knew the secret, but no one dared to expose it, so they had to keep silent, as for Yao Jia, he could only die in vain!
And after this period of confrontation, both sides were jealous, and they were a lot more peaceful for a while, and Xianyang City finally quieted down!
