Chapter Seventy-Four: The Cause and Effect of That Knife Down
The huge city wall cuts out a black shadow on the ground, the residual red in the west shines on most of Chang'an, the pedestrians and traders on the street are bustling, and occasionally there will be patrolling Xiliang soldiers holding Ge through the streets, taking the food on the stall with their hands, and the other party will also send them away politely with both hands, looking at the back of leaving, and whispering some unpleasant words and spitting out, the familiar people next to him hurriedly came over and stabbed the vendor, and lowered his voice: "You don't want to die......"
The words of reminder are like ripples spreading on the surface of the water......
At the entrance of Chang'an West City, people passing by stopped and looked at the past, and on the wooden platform in front of the crowded heads, a row of more than a dozen people with their hands tied and kneeling there to tie them, and the figure standing next to them opened the cloth silk and issued a notice to the crowd watching below.
ββ¦β¦ All things in the world are based on loyalty and filial piety first, after a chaos in Luoyang, a group of thieves bullied the monarch and corrupted the dynasty, the Taishi ordered, and the wind was upright to suppress the evil spirit, both from the people...... Those who are found to be unfilial to their sons, disloyal to their ministers, unclear officials, and disobedient to their younger brothers, are found to be true and beheadedβ" Then the executioner stepped forward and cut off more than a dozen heads, and blood gushed to the ground.
A faint cry spread through the crowd.
The bloody atmosphere was permeated, and some people couldn't stand it, so they turned around and pulled their companions away quickly, and the sound of small fragments circulated between the two......
ββ¦β¦ This thief first broke the coins, and now he is trying to kill people and make money. β
"What loyalty, righteousness and filial piety, Dong Zhuo himself is ...... And Lu Bu's vicious dog barking wildly......"
The companion raised his eyes and looked at the street, pulled the indignant figure, and squeezed his eyes: "Hugh to mention the name, be cautious!" β
Stomp ......
The horse's hooves stepped on the stone bricks, and the figure of the fiery war horse wearing armor and holding a halberd walked through everyone's field of vision, his ears were very good, and most of the words in the market were not good, Lu Bu's face sank, and when he looked over, the two people who spoke had already walked away, and the other party was not an official of the DPRK and China, just ordinary people, and he couldn't do anything to step forward and kill the other party.
He is ashamed to bully the unarmed people.
Thinking like this, after a few streets, the red rabbit horse stopped in front of Situ's mansion, and before he stepped on the stone steps, the old man in the mansion had already walked out of the door with a smile and greeted him: "Wenhou has fallen into the humble house, so that the old man's mansion will shine." β
"Come here, I'm afraid it will make Situ Mansion dusty." Lu Bu was not polite to him, handed over the reins to his subordinates, and strode in with the halberd, when he stepped into the hall, he looked back at the old man who was half a step behind, "What is the matter with Wang Situ calling Lu to come to the mansion today?" β
Wang Yun just smiled, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and after the tall and mighty figure sat down, he knelt down on the opposite side, the maid came over to fill the wine, and the old man raised his hand and toasted to the opposite side: "Today's banquet is because a few days ago I was suddenly attacked by robbers and almost made my father and daughter suffer, and I invited Wen Hou to the mansion to express my gratitude." β
On the other side, Lu Bu picked up the two small ears and gestured, and drank them all in one gulp, "It's just a matter of doing it, Situ Mo has to take it to heart, the wine has been drunk, and Lu Bu has something important to do and left first." With that, he stood up.
Here, Wang Yun hurriedly got up: "Wen Hou take a step slowly." β
"What else?" The figure who was about to arrive at the door turned his head and looked at the old man, and then the other party stepped forward and walked to the middle, stroked his beard and smiled: "Wen Hou is walking too fast, my daughter has not had time to see the benefactor, Wen Hou will wait for a while, and the old man will let her come out." β
Lu Bu leaned the halberd against the wooden pillar in the hall, reflexively walked back and sat down again: "So, wait a while." β
When he picked up the wine and drank again, the sound of the wooden planks in the hall came softly, a long white skirt dragged the ground, the lotus step walked slowly between the skirts, the jade beads on the bun shook gently, the graceful figure approached, the slender fingers gently folded the hips and bent the knees, bowed his head and bowed, bowed his head slightly, and the voice came softly: "Hongchang has seen Wen Hou." β
"You look up!"
Boom! The wine buds were put on a few cases, splashing wine stains, Lu Bu leaned forward, his hand waved to the other party through the air, under the veil of the woman in front of him, the pink lips were slightly curled to outline the indescribable charm, the long eyelashes blinked, and the bright eyes looked over, like a pool of spring water rippling ripples, when he got up, the veil fell lightly, the eyebrows were slightly bent like light smoke, and the delicate face was like jade.
In the apricot eyes, the man named Fei General Lu Bu opposite was a little stupid, a light smile appeared on her lips, her eyes looked forward to it, and she said in a coquettish voice: "Oops! Squatting down to pick up the veil on the ground, the slightly open gap in his chest was exposed, trying to completely hook the soul of the man in front of him.
On the side, Wang Yun twisted his head and nodded, and said at the right time: "The little girl has not yet married, and she often thinks that the non-heroes and heroes are not married, and Wen Hou was brave that day, saving my father and daughter, and I was worried about it, and invited Wen Hou to come over today, one expressed the grace of saving her life, and the other was that the little girl wanted to see the benefactor with her own eyes." β
The lights reflected the indescribable beauty, and the figure behind a few cases, one hand pinched the wine buds, his eyes stayed on the woman's face, the collar that was slightly open, and the red and tender scars were clearly visible on a piece of snow white.
His eyes narrowed, his hand pinched the weapon, the green tendons bulged, and then he let go......
......
The last glimmer of light was cast from the sky, Lu Bu returned to the mansion, handed over the red rabbit to the servant to take to feed, and the little man who was already a year old in the courtyard pounced happily, and was lifted high by his father and turned around, under the eaves, Yan waved away the maid beside him, came over to this side, and said: "Husband." The words were gentle, and soon the light was dark.
Lu Bu took the woman's hand, and then sat in the hall for a while, when a maid came to hold the lamp, he looked at his wife, "I went to Situ Wang Yun's mansion today...... I also met one of his daughters...... "The woman who starts from the end and gives warmth to herself is more or less respectful, and the tone is not as majestic as when she is outside."
"That young lady in Situ's mansion should have fallen into the eyes of her husband." Yan sat on the side and handed over the tea, "...... Eliminate alcohol. β
"Situ wants to marry this girl to me....." Lu Bu took a sip.
The woman next to her bit her lower lip and chuckled complicatedly: "If the husband likes it, choose a good auspicious day to marry, after all, Wang Situ is in the mansion and the husband is ...... Matching. β
The teacup was put down and waved his hand: "But the husband refused-"
"The family is rich, and the house can't be lazy about etiquette...... Well? The woman was stunned, and her eyes lit up.
The lights swayed, Lu Bu put his hands on his knees, laughed, and hugged his wife: "This woman is indeed beautiful, but I accidentally saw the scar on her chest, which made me think of Gongsun Zhi's thief. β
Yan leaned against the crook of his arm, listened to the words, breathed a sigh of relief, and then chuckled again, sticking tighter.
***********************
Lu Bu......
...... Gongsun Zhi.
The wind blew through the hall, the firelight swayed, reflecting the woman's face flickering brightly and darkly, the delicate fingers intertwined, pinched white, behind a few cases, the old man sighed, for a moment, in the dark, the ruddy lips opened lightly, and the voice was cold: "Why did the father-in-law lament...... The matter is not defeated yet, so it is better to invite the master to come over. β
......
At the same time, on the other side of the city. In the study in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Zhuo threw a wooden tablet on the ground.
"When the old man is blind!" dragging his fat body, he waved his hand and shouted: "Last year, so many people were promoted to official positions, and in the end, these wolf-hearted things came to attack Luoyang, and now they are coming to the table again... Cousin of your mother-"
Below, a thin figure picked up the wooden slip and glanced at it, on it was the text of Beiping Gongsun Zhan's request to Feng Gongsun to fight against Xianbei, and then he lightly put it back on a few cases.
"Wolf's heart and dog's lungs..... These people...... When the old man is blind, he can't do it. Dong Zhuo's eyes were full of anger, and he scolded repeatedly.
The figure over there stepped forward and arched his hand: "Taishi, Confucianism has a plan." β
The fat figure glanced at him, returned to the case and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "Speak!" β
"Feng Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the Taifu, summoned him to Beijing, and emptied Youzhou, that Yuan Shao IV and the Third Duke, the prestige is very high, and he will not be satisfied with Han Fu's command, and Beiping Gongsun Zan can fight and never let others ride to the top of his head, so disputed, in the past it was the eighteenth road to go to the third road, it is reported that Sun Jian entered Luoyang was suspected by Yuan Shao of his private possession of the country's heavy weapon, and has also returned to Jiangdong, so the rest is only the Central Plains rabble, how many people can carry with the Taishi?" Li Ru lowered his head and spoke, his words paused, and after a while, he raised his voice in an aggravated tone: "...... At that time, the Taishi and my Xiliang soldiers will crusade against the heroes of the Kanto region, and break them one by one, and they will be the most powerful in the worldββ"
After the long case, Dong Zhuo stood up, looked at the other party quietly, and after a while, the negative hand walked back and forth, his eyes stayed on the candle flame, and he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"After the old man moved west to Chang'an, he spent too much time, and the words of the virtuous son-in-law alerted me...... "Taking a breath, the fat figure turned around and looked at the Confucian students behind him approvingly, "The old man used to want to win over the Qing scholars and others and reuse them, which should be attributed to me, but in the end, I can see clearly now, these people don't remember people in their hearts, so let the old man teach them a lesson." β
He took out a treasure knife from the wall, slowly unsheathed it, revealing its edge, as if Dong Zhuo of Xiliang in the past had woken up again.
"Let Yuan Shao, Han Fu, and Gongsun Chan bite you to death in the north...... The rest ....."
β...... The old man slaughtered them with his own handsβ"
The seven jewels on the scabbard reflected the hideous and angry face, and when the blade slowly came out of the sheath, the footsteps outside the door sounded, and someone came to report in a low voice: "Master Taishi, King Situ Yun sent someone to the mansion to invite the master to his home for a banquet." β
"Taishi... It's not a good feast to be invited late at night. Li Ru frowned and reminded.
"Haha.... I don't know who the prince is? Don't be suspicious of a virtuous son-in-law, the old man also has martial arts, and he doesn't want to get close to him. Laughing, he patted Confucius on the shoulder, threw the sword aside, turned and walked out, and then waved his hand to the guards and ordered, "More armor soldiers will come with me to the banquet." β
The laughter was heroic, spreading from under the eaves, far away into the night sky.
