Chapter 367
"Lord Liu!" Shi Min grabbed his arm and shouted.
"Major General...... Lord Liu, he's dead......" The subordinate next to him whispered.
Although he doesn't communicate much with Liu Yuanzhi on weekdays, the experience of the past few months has made Shi Min respect Liu Yuanzhi quite a lot. This is a loyal minister, no matter who he serves, he is loyal to the country and cares for the people!
Shi Min knew very well in his heart that this arrow in Liu Yuanzhi was aimed at him at all, if it weren't for his fate, he would be the one who died now, and Liu Yuanzhi inexplicably became his substitute ghost.
Thinking of this, Shi Min's heart was a little uneasy, and even more angry, he never thought that someone would be waiting for him in this place, just to kill him with one arrow! And the people who want to kill him may be the two Murong brothers.
Shi Min waited for a long time, and Zhu Song finally came back with someone, and he came back empty-handed.
"Major General......" Zhu Song was a little remorseful and shouted in a low voice.
"What about people?" Shi Min looked down at Liu Yuanzhi and asked without raising his head.
"Despicable and incompetent, I didn't catch up!"
"Do you see who it is?" Shi Min said and stood up.
"Nope! But the lowly position is sure that someone must have escaped, and there are some clues on the southwest slope, and someone must have walked through it! But by the time the lowly people arrived, there was no one left. ”
Shi Min wanted to blame Zhu Song for exploring the way in advance and not finding someone in ambush, but if he hadn't dragged him in time just now, I was afraid that he would have died, so Shi Min couldn't say anything.
"Bring that bow!" Shi Min commanded.
A moment later, Xiongnu Shan Yu's bow was handed over. Shi Min took it, pulled the bowstring again, weighed it again, and threw the strong bow to Zhu Song, and ordered: "Brother Zhu, you guys try it and see if you can pull it away!" ”
Zhu Song looked at the others and said, "I'll come first!" ”
The others consciously took a step back to make room for Zhu Song, only to see that his legs were steady, his right hand was pulling the string, and his arms were exerting force, but he only barely pulled the bow away, and it was not yet full.
Zhu Song was unwilling, shook his arm, moved his fingers, and shouted: "Open!" ”
Although Zhu Song tried his best, his face turned red, but it was still the same as the first attempt. Zhu Song shook his head, knowing that he couldn't pull it away, so he handed the bow to the others.
After a few long attempts, basically no one could pull away, and at this time, Shi Min ordered: "Okay, don't try!" Since you can't pull it away, those Huns won't have this ability! I know who did it! ”
"Just now, the Huns said that the two brothers of the Xianbei Murong clan did it!" Someone said.
"Originally, I thought that the Huns were lying to me, but now that I think about it, out of Murong Ke's kid, ordinary people can't use this bow!" Shi Min said, clenching his fists again, at least from this time on, the grudge between Shi Min and the Murong clan could no longer be resolved.
"Major General, what should we do next? Lord Liu, he ...... After we go back, how will you give an account to Your Majesty? Zhu Song said worriedly.
"Say whatever you have to say! Since the incident has happened, it is impossible for Lord Liu to come back to life, if Your Majesty is to blame, I will bear it alone! ”
"But this matter was done by Murong Ke, what does it have to do with you?"
"That's what I said, but Lord Liu died because of me, not to mention that Your Majesty asked us to come to Hexi together, and originally intended to let me protect Lord Liu for everything, but now that such a situation has happened, I can't escape the blame." Shi Min said, paused, looked at Liu Yuanzhi lying on the ground, and said: "Then Liu Guifei is the sister of Lord Liu, she will definitely take advantage of this to make a big fuss, Xihua Hou Mansion wants to stay out of the matter, it is impossible!" ”
"This ......"
"Let's go back to Zhao Kingdom first!" Shi Min commanded everyone.
"Major General, do you want to send someone back to report the news first?" Zhu Song asked again.
"Not necessarily!" Shi Min flatly refused: "If the news of Lord Liu's death reaches His Majesty too early, and I am not in Yecheng, maybe Liu Guifei will make some trouble, and we will not be able to guard against it when the time comes!" It would be better to wait until I go back, and then I will report to Your Majesty in person. ”
"The Major General is right!"
"Brother Zhu!"
"Humble duty!"
"Today, you led people to explore the way, but you didn't find an ambush, according to military law, do you know how to punish it!" Shi Min said quite sternly.
When Zhu Song heard this, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said, "Despicable capital crime!" Please punish the major general! ”
"It's no longer helpful to punish you! Remembering your past merits, I will beat you with a hundred military sticks! But these are extraordinary times! I'll remember today's mistakes for the time being! When I return to Yecheng, I will punish you again! ”
"Yes......"
"Place Lord Liu's body first!" Shi Min commanded again.
"Humble command!"
The two Murong brothers fled frantically, running until dark, and finally they were not caught by Shi Min's men and horses, so they stopped, and at this time, their horses were already tired and almost ran to death.
"It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven! It seems that Shi Min should not die today! Murong Jun scolded resentfully.
"I didn't expect him and his people to be so vigilant! We are hiding so secretly, but we have been discovered! Murong Ke should also be kind.
"It seems that this is providence!"
"Second brother, there is one thing I don't understand, why do you want to leave those Huns behind?"
Murong Jun glanced at him and said, "If you don't let those wastes be substitutes for the dead ghosts, then it will be the two of us who will die!" ”
"But what if those Huns told Shi Min that I shot that arrow...... Isn't it true that we Xianbei have become the culprits? ”
"No!" Murong Jun waved his hand and said, "According to Shi Min's habits, those Huns won't have a chance to speak at all!" He would definitely kill them without hesitation, to vent the hatred in his heart! ”
Murong Ke nodded and said, "What the second brother said makes sense!" ”
The brothers sat in the dark night like this, and after a long time, Murong Ke asked again, "Second brother, what should we do next?" Return it to the Huns? ”
Murong Jun shook his head and said, "There's no point in going back anymore!" Everything that needs to be done has been done, it's time to go back to Liaodong! ”
"But Xiongnu Shan Yu should still be waiting for our news! Shall we just say goodbye without saying goodbye? Isn't there something wrong? ”
"That old thing is more cunning than a fox, and if we don't go back, he'll guess we've missed!" And why bother! What's more, the current situation in various places is unstable, and there is no telling when there will be war again, so we should go back as soon as possible so that my father can rest assured! ”
"Then listen to the second brother......" Murong Ke nodded.
"If my expectations are correct, in the future, Xianbei's biggest enemy will definitely be Shi Min!"
"What about the Huns? That's not a fuel-efficient lamp! ”
"No matter how old the Hun is, after all, at this age, even if he is a wolf, he is still an old wolf. This north is now a three-legged stand, and it is impossible to unify it in a short period of time, so Lao Shan Yu is afraid that he will not survive at that time! During the period we stayed in the Xiongnu, according to my observation, none of Lao Danyu's sons were eloquent people, and the future Huns should not be afraid! ”
"Little brother has an idea, maybe he can get rid of Shi Min!"
"What can you think? Tell me about it! ”
"Second brother, do you still remember that King Ning of Zhao Kingdom?"
"He? Of course I do! ”
"I think this guy is really scheming, maybe he has a way to kill Shi Min!"
"Do you count on him? Hehe, this is a completely treacherous person! Unless Shi Min is his obstacle! Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked doing such a thing for us! Okay, we'll talk about that later! Take a good rest and let's go back to Xianbei as soon as possible! ”
"Yes......"
