Chapter 274: The Great Trap

Xue Shao, Yuenu and Xue Chuyu turned into snitches together under the cover of night, waiting for an opportunity to leave Bingzhou City and go to the military tun fifteen miles outside the city to find the old general Li Jinxing.

Compared with the towering city and strict defense of Chang'an, the city walls of Bingzhou are slightly shorter, and the ordinary military garrison is far inferior. But tonight's situation is a little different, Xue Shao and the others have found out, along the way, you can see soldiers patrolling everywhere, and the city gate and city wall area have increased the city defense force by more than three times!

Moreover, Xue Shao and the others also bumped into several groups of soldiers and horses, rushed into several high-profile families to arrest people, and all of them cried and screamed, and some people were killed on the spot!

In order to avoid extraneous branches, Xue Shao and others can only be patient first, and it is not good to meddle in meddlers.

Xue Shao thought to himself that this mutiny broke out from within the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, and listening to Xue Chuyu's description, it should be led by Li Xiantong colluding with that Song general. Wei Juyuan was "suspected" of murdering Changshi Li Chongyi, and then was arrested red-handed. Subsequently, Li Xiantong and General Song firmly controlled the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and controlled all the officials in the Dadu Governor's Mansion on the grounds of "arresting Wei Juyuan's party servants", and beat up several bureaucrats who dared to come forward on the spot, killing chickens and monkeys.

These unlucky high-ranking families should be the families of some officials in the Governor's Mansion!

Xue Shao's heart became more and more crisis-oriented, Li Xiantong, this is the excuse to grab Wei Juyuan and murder Li Chongyi, and he is eradicating dissidents!

Anyway, Wei Juyuan has been arrested, who is his party servant, Li Xiantong has the final say, he can announce to the outside world that these arrested people were all recruited by Wei Juyuan himself. These people who are implicated are absolutely speechless, and they can only be slaughtered by others!

Of course, the dissidents that Li Xiantong wants to eliminate must also include his old enemy Xue Shao, and the general with whom he has clashed and is a potential threat, Li Duozuo!

To frame Xue Shao and Li Duozuo, it is not difficult for Li Xiantong.

When Xue Shao and the people of the Three Knife Brigade went north to investigate the enemy's situation, they were in distress, and Li Chongyi did not send troops to rescue him in time, plus Xue Shao had a feud with Li Chongyi's grandson Li Xiantong before, so the two were likely to have a grudge, which made Xue Shao have a "motive for committing the crime".

Li Duozuo's motive for committing the crime is simpler, he was innocently imprisoned for half a month, how can he endure this breath? It's definitely going to be negative!

Wei Juyuan's motives are better understood, as an adjutant of Changshi for a long time, he must have been angry with his superiors, and he must have the ambition to take a step forward. Kill Chang Shi Wei Juyuan is the boss! - That's what he motives!

All the things before and after are connected in series, and Xue Shao feels that this is simply a shocking situation that has been laid out a long time ago. Li Xiantong has long been planning to bring himself, Li Duozuo, Wei Juyuan, and all the people in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion who are not willing to be vassal to him into this trap at the same time - kill them!

Of course, maybe Li Xiantong didn't have Li Duozuo among his original goals, but seeing that Li Duozuo had been helping Xue Shao all the time, and he was smart enough to change the military uniforms for those deserters and take the initiative to give them a handle, so he was naturally implicated.

Cutting off the wings and shoveling the grass and roots, Li Xiantong has no reason to be soft on anyone!

Ruthless enough, fine enough!

Xue Shao felt that he seemed to despise Li Xiantong a little. This birdman is not only ruthless enough, but also very strategic. had easily defeated him in Chang'an before, so he was a little light. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Bingzhou, he could make such a big move and make himself so passive! Every step of this trap, starting from privately withholding the report, assassinating Niu Ben, and not sending reinforcements to borrow a knife to kill people, every step may have killed me Xue Shao!

If I don't die all the time, I'm going to fall into the biggest trap I have now. Last time Li Xiantong went to Shuozhou to take the "honor", he was sure in his heart that the probability of success in cleaning up me in that way would not be too high, at that time, his real intention should be - to lure me to the state and take the bait!

Li Duozuo and those deserters were imprisoned, which is a deadly bait!

As for the ambitious Wei Juyuan?

When this poor worm married his daughter to Li Xiantong and dreamed of the Spring and Autumn Festival of the feudal officials, he had already become a chess piece, a spear and a substitute ghost in Li Xiantong's hands!

Wei Juyuan was the supreme deputy governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Bingzhou, and Li Xiantong first conspired with him to put his grandfather under house arrest and let Wei Juyuan issue the order on his behalf. After investigation, Wei Juyuan, the "murderer", was of course the culprit of all bad things. It's easy for him to defend himself - how could I have framed my grandfather with outsiders? It's all the self-action of Wei Juyuan, an ambitious maniac, and in the end, it was also my Li Xiantong who set things right, eradicated all his cronies, and avenged my grandfather!

At this point, Xue Shao had to admit that not to mention whether Wei Juyuan really strangled Li Chongyi, Li Xiantong just used this death news to make a big fuss to eradicate dissidents, establish his absolute authority in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and splash all the dirty water on Wei Juyuan, and let him bear all the responsibility for the mistakes he made in the past.

……

The three of them were cautious all the way, and finally avoided the sentry posts, climbed over the high wall, and swam out of the heavily guarded Bingzhou City from the moat.

The physical exertion was very high, and the three of them stopped to rest for a while.

Xue Chuyu asked, do you want to notify Pei Gong in front of you in time?

Xue Shao's eyebrows tightened for a moment, and he shook his head, "It's too late." If we don't react tonight, just wait for dawn tomorrow, Li Xiantong will open a list in Bingzhou City and issue a sea fishing document, saying that Li Duozuo, Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu are all Wei Juyuan's party subordinates and conspired to kill Shi Li Chongyi, the governor of Bingzhou, then we will become a criminal of the imperial court, and we will not be able to argue! ”

"This ......" Xue Chuyu really didn't think of it, he was stunned on the spot, and said, "Will anyone believe it?" ”

"Of course there will be, or the vast majority!" Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "Why did he want to launch a mutiny in the Dadu Governor's Mansion?" It's not just to grasp political power and grasp the absolute right to speak! Even if the people and the army will have doubts, even if a few people will know the truth of the matter, but these subtle voices can overpower the voice of the official documents issued by the government? ”

"Ruthless!" Xue Chuyu suddenly felt a fear in his heart, "Li Xiantong, it's really ruthless!" ”

"Now I have to admit that I was a little underestimated before - I really damn it!" Xue Shao gritted his teeth and nodded, and said, "You think, if we don't see the old general Li Jinxing in the fastest time, if we let Li Xiantong send the order documents to the army first, and define me and Li Duozuo as Qin criminals, we will go to see Li Jinxing again, even if for the sake of Pei Gong's face, he will not tie us up on the spot and hand us over to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, then it will be difficult to believe us again!" Also, not only Li Jinxing, but everyone, and maybe even the people in Chang'an, will really regard us as sinners because of Li Xiantong's preemptive voice! - This is the power of discourse! ”

"It's amazing!" Xue Chuyu's face was tense, and he gritted his teeth!

"Now, we must not delay any longer, we must go to see Li Jinxing immediately!" Xue Shao clapped his hands and knees and stood up, "Let's go!" ”

"Wait!" Xue Chuyu said suddenly, "In case Li Jinxing has now received the documents issued by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, and it is even possible, he is also Li Xiantong's fellow party, how to deal with it?" ”

Xue Shao didn't think of this, people can't look good, and no one can say what kind of choices and decisions a person will make at a critical time. Li Jinxing, he is a well-known meritorious veteran, and he is also Pei Xingjian's confidant - but in the face of major events, fathers, sons, ancestors and grandchildren can draw swords against each other, not to mention others?

"You can only gamble!" Xue Shao said, "The worst result, if Li Jinxing is Li Xiantong's comrade, then we can only consider ourselves unlucky!" If they are not in the same party, and Li Jinxing received the documents from the Metropolitan Governor's Office in advance, I can only bet that he is a person who has a clear argument between right and wrong! ”

Xue Shao was about to take a step forward, but Xue Chuyu suddenly stopped in front of him in a flash, "Childe, the risk is too great, we can't appear in the same place at the same time!" In the event of a worst-case outcome, the entire army will be wiped out! - I have followed the old general Li Jinxing for a period of time, and I know him to some extent, and I also have some feelings for him. He has always taken me seriously. Let me go to the old general alone and go find out first! ”

"......" Xue Shaoyi was slightly stunned, "You and my brother swear to live and die together, how can you be in danger alone at such a critical time?" ”

"Childe!" Xue Chuyu was shouting, clasping his fists on one knee and bowing, "At this time of great danger, if Xue Chuyu dies, it will not matter whether he wins or loses; If Childe is in a desperate situation, it will be a complete loss, and Li Xiantong's conspiracy will completely succeed! Therefore, please don't think about selfishness, but focus on the overall justice! ”

Yue Nu rolled his eyes twice, hesitated and whispered: "Childe, this time, I support Xue Chuyu's statement......"

"Shut up!" Xue Shao shouted angrily.

"Yes!" The moon slave was frightened and quickly covered his mouth.

Xue Shao viciously gouged out the eyes of the moon slave and told her not to talk too much. He didn't know where to go, Yue Nu never thought about other things in his heart, what the overall situation, what the victory or defeat, all of them were floating clouds for her. She has only one "selfish heart" at all times - not to let her son suffer and get into danger!

The moon slave was a thief and took two steps back timidly.

"Good brother, you get up first." Xue Shao stretched out his hand to pull Xue Chuyu.

"Childe, please listen to me!" Xue Chuyu knelt down, and said, "Looking back now, I feel that Wei Yushi is really wise." Wei Yushi said that if we are locked up there together, it is very likely that we will all be killed and exterminated! If, on the other hand, one escapes, they will be afraid to mess aroundβ€”and we are in a similar situation now. Xue Chuyu is just a lowly martial artist, even if they catch me, it doesn't mean much. As long as Childe has not been arrested for a day, they will not dare to kill people easily! So, don't hesitate anymore, just listen to your subordinates next time and do what your subordinates say! ”

Xue Shao thought carefully, Xue Chuyu's words were really reasonable, in a dangerous situation, you can't give the enemy a chance and let them serve it in one pot!

"Good!" Xue Shao replied decisively, "Brother, please get up!" If it happens, come here to me, and I'll wait here! Remember, be careful!! ”

"Don't worry, Childe!" Xue Chuyu stood up and bowed with his fists clenched, "So-and-so, go!" ”

"Be careful!"

Xue Chuyu didn't hesitate to pull his legs and gallop away, disappearing like a gust of wind, leaving Xue Shao's advice far behind.

Turning his head to look at the moon slave, Xue Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly. I'm really a bare-rod commander, and I only have a month of slaves left by my side!

"Daifuku, is it cold all over the water?" Xue Shao was also happy in the bitterness, laughing and teasing her.

"Cold!" Yue Nu was not polite at all, and as soon as his arms stretched out, he threw himself into Xue Shao's arms and hugged him tightly, "Childe hug me, let's hug me together!" ”

"......" Xue Shao was speechless, you will really shine if you give a little sunshine, and you will not forget to be affectionate at any time regardless of the occasion!.
