Chapter 79: The Assassination That Came as Promised
Cai Jing's birthday is a big event for the people of the capital. There are countless guests coming and going, and what is even more rare is that the descendants of the Cai family are also gathered together.
Cai Jing is a person who has not said it, but it is definitely blessed, and today, the official fortune is prosperous, the children and grandchildren are full, and there are eight sons alone, which is really prosperous. If there are some flaws, it is the eldest son Cai You. Due to the power struggle between father and son in the early years, the relationship between the director and the director was out of harmony, and now, there is a tendency to be incompatible, if it were not for Cai Jing's birthday, I am afraid that Cai You would not have returned to the house.
In the eyes of others, the relationship between the father and son of the Cai family seems to be extremely stupid, but Zhao Yougong doesn't think so, he thinks this is exactly what Cai Jing is smart.
Cai Jing is a very popular minister, and what he is worried about is nothing more than the current official family, if he falls, the whole door will fall, which is not a good thing. Throughout history, all prosperous families will never be tilted into one place. Among them, the most significant is the Langya Zhuge family, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun, and Zhuge Dan belong to the Three Kingdoms, no matter what the final outcome is, at least the incense of the Zhuge family can be guaranteed. As for Cai Jing, I'm afraid that's what he thinks in his heart, after all, between father and son, how can there be an inseparable enmity, unless Cai Jing deliberately did it.
Several members of the Cai family stood at the door to greet guests, and the most conspicuous of them belonged to Cai You, this Cai eldest son stood in the crowd, not like a brother, but like an elder. Cai You and the third Cai Yan are more than 20 years apart, which is also a miracle in Zhao Yougong's opinion.
Zhao You presented a gift, and Cai You bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, please!" ”
Cai You spoke respectfully, and he didn't see any frivolity, but the brothers behind him all looked absent-minded, especially Cai Ying, who just arched his hand hastily and turned his face away.
is just a number of courtesies, and Cai You can climb to the position of privy counselor, is it just by inviting pets? I'm afraid not really.
As soon as he entered the Cai family's compound, Zhao Yougong was shocked by the scene in front of him, the surrounding high walls were all covered with red satin, and a stage in the middle was more than a few feet, isn't it just a birthday, it was so grand. If nothing else, just talk about the silk on the high walls around it, how much does it cost? The birthday feast hasn't started yet, it's already like this, how much will it cost later?
There are a lot of acquaintances in the courtyard, but there are only a few people who can get by, find a chair and sit down, Zhao Yougong leaned sideways, and said with a smile, "Why is the third brother here?" ”
Zhao Kai shook his fan, with a harmonious look on his face, "Look at what you said, why can't you come as a brother?" Haven't you heard that Brother Ling is going to dance a song of 'Screaming Drums' in person today, how can Brother not come and take a look? ”
As the name suggests, the dancer stands on a big drum and waving his feet to make a rumbling beat. Zhao Kai said that the boss of the cloud is the most skilled person in the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that the real name of the boss of the cloud is Yun Tianhe, whenever he dances, he must wear long sleeves of colorful silk and pretend to be a woman, which is similar to the male and female singing of later generations.
"Ha, the third brother is an elegant person, and the younger brother can't compare!"
"Brother Ling said so, but is he sarcastic, but he can't be a brother?" Zhao Kai smiled mysteriously, turned sideways slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Ling, to tell me the truth, what happened to you and the lady of the Zhu family?" ”
"It's hard to say, that little lady is facing the nerd every day, and the little brother doesn't know how to start, it's really not good, so I can only do the same way!"
Hearing Zhao Yougong say this, Zhao Kai secretly pursed his lips, Brother Ling'er's so-called old method is nothing more than a hard one, "You, this woman, be gentle!" ”
"The third brother is very experienced?"
"Ahem, nonsense"
Zhao Kaijun's face flushed, and he simply turned his face and ignored Zhao Yougong, his brother is always rude when he speaks, and his thinking is also a little unusual.
Before the time passed, many people had gathered around, Gao Yanei, Wang Tenghui, and Hua Sleepless. Especially the flower who never sleeps, obviously a big man, but he runs in a red silk dress, and has a small amount of rouge on his face, like a rabbit.
When it comes to the flower sleepless flower eunuch, there are many people who know it, this person is the third eunuch of the inner servant, and his status is only below Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian, and Li Yan. This flower eunuch has a nephew called Hua Zixu, so whenever he sees the flower eunuch, Zhao Yougong always thinks of the petite and delicate Li Bottle. It's a pity that in this time and space, the heroes of Liangshan have not yet broken through the Daimyo's Mansion, and it is even more impossible for Li Bei'er to come to the capital.
Gao Ya was shaking his fat body, and a pair of mung bean eyes glanced around, and he didn't have any good intentions at first glance.
"Fat man, what are you doing to look at this king like this? But have bad habits? If you have, tell the king, and the king will find you ten or eight rabbits! ”
"Ahem" Gao Ya's fat face trembled, and he was about to scold when he got up, but Cai You, who was so unlucky, walked towards him. With Cai You present, Gao Yanei didn't dare to be too arrogant, after all, today is Cai Xiang's birthday, and this bit of face still has to be given.
"Scoundrel Zhao, you wait!"
"Afraid of you?"
The relationship between Zhao Yougong and several yamen, Cai You is clear, he came to the front and gave a salute to Zhao Kai first, "Two highnesses, my father invites the two of you to talk in the back hall!" ”
Cai You is really helpless to do this, let these people sit together, to ensure that there will be an incident, it is better to disassemble them first. Zhao Kai comprehended, stood up and knocked Zhao Yougong on the shoulder with a fan, "Brother Ling, what are you waiting for, let's meet Cai Xiang with my brother!" ”
The two brothers followed Cai You to the back hall to see Cai Jing, and after a few greetings, they each found a seat and sat down. Today, Cai Jing is wearing a festive red robe, with two cranes embroidered on the robe, and he looks like a rich and kind old man. It's just that this old man has a birthday, and I don't know how many people are ruined.
At three o'clock, Cai Jing muttered a lot of words, and the birthday banquet was considered to be on topic. At first, a group of women danced the curved sleeve dance, followed by Zhao Kai's long-awaited stepping encouragement.
The big drum prepared by the Hejia class has a diameter of three zhang and a height of more than one zhang, so Zhao Yougong is the first time to see such a big drum.
A woman in an emerald robe landed lightly on the drum, followed by eight people jumping to the edge of the drum from eight directions. The woman in the green shirt pinched two pink feather fans, and the long colored sleeves surrounded the hazy figure, nine people, nine pairs of feet, the movements were different, but the rhythm was the same. Listening to the rumbling drums, Zhao Yougong seemed to be in a trance, but there was a sense of concern in his heart.
Why hasn't there been any movement so far, isn't the Hejia class here to assassinate Cai Jing?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the woman in the middle with her right foot slightly bent, and the tip of her left foot slammed hard towards the drum surface.
With a squint of his eyes, Zhao Yougong smiled secretly in his heart, no wonder he didn't do it for a long time, it turned out that there was a hidden mechanism in this big drum.
Zhao Yougong could notice it, and naturally other people could notice it, only to see a figure rushing out, and then he stood in front of Cai Jing's table suddenly, "Cai Xiang be careful!" ”
A series of breaking sounds sounded, the big drum suddenly trembled, and countless cold rays flew in all directions.
Zhao Yougong and Zhao Kai happened to be sitting in the corner, and when they saw the changes, they didn't think about it, and they all drilled under the case.
"Brother Ling, run for your life, there are assassins"
As he spoke, he saw Zhao Kai crawling towards the rockery of the other courtyard like a wolf dog, looking at his neatness, Zhao Yougong was dumbfounded, this is the king of Yun that Zhao Ji is proud of? It is said that he Zhao Yougong is as timid as a mouse, and Zhao Kai's courage is not very good. Thinking in his heart, Zhao Yougong still obeyed Zhao Kai's construction, and the two of them climbed to the rockery and the other to the back hall.
At this time, the crowd in the courtyard had already become a pot of porridge, and the big drum was also shaken, and it turned out that there were many people hidden in the big drum, and when the hidden weapon flew out, these people rushed out of the drum. A group of knife-wielding men, according to the people on the stage is a burst of slashing, here guests, how could they think of this situation? For a while, the guests rushed out noisily, and the guards outside the courtyard wanted to rush in, and the scene was really chaotic.
The woman who was jumping and encouraging had also taken off her makeup, and at this time he was holding two steel knives in his hands, and his eyes were directed at Cai Jing on the high platform.
"Dog thief, today is your death!"
The sound is like a bell, rough and heroic, this is a woman, and she is clearly a fierce man. The steel knife was raised, and a group of killers shouted and rushed to the high platform, and the big man with two knives was even more skilled, the double knives were inserted into the back of the waist, and then a few cold rays, a few flying knives, directly took Cai Jing's forehead, and the degree and strength were extremely sharp.
In the face of such a dangerous situation, Cai Jing was not afraid, and still drank with a smile.
In the position of prime minister, under one man and above ten thousand, how could he be afraid of these assassins?
The flying knife came to his face, and a person flew over, only to see his long sleeves turned over, and several flying knives were wrapped in his sleeves, and the most surprising thing was that his sleeves were still intact.
"Haijiaomen, Shibao, a certain family has been waiting for you for a long time!"
The man stood in front of Cai Jing's table, dressed in a simple gray robe, about thirty years old. He was not burly, and his complexion was not very resolute, but standing there always gave people an insurmountable pressure.
This is a master, a master who does not lose to anyone. Just waving his sleeves and taking in a few throwing knives is enough to make people unreachable.
Zhao Yougong looked out the window in shock, he could also resist Shi Bao's flying knife, but the key was to collect the flying knife and remove the strength in it. With just one move, Zhao Yougong knew that he was definitely not the opponent of the middle-aged man.
Zhao Yougong was very glad that he did not inflate himself because of his martial arts, and he was even more glad that he did not expose himself too much. The Great Song Dynasty Enshrined Division, the Hidden Dragon and the Crouching Tiger, he couldn't be careless.
Like Zhao Yougong, Shi Bao looked at the people on the stage in disbelief, "Who are you?" ”
