218 The death of Zu Ti
Zu Ti came, but Wang Dun didn't go to greet him personally, and he didn't want to go. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info so, Wang Yunzhi and Gao Fei replaced Wang Dun to greet him at the gate of the General's Mansion.
Under the leadership of Guo Shu, Zu Ti finally came to the General's Mansion, Gao Fei and Wang Yunzhi were waiting at the door early, and saw Zu Ti slowly coming under Guo Shu's escort from a distance, and the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Zu Ti had also seen Gao Fei and Wang Yunzhi a long time ago, and when he saw them walking towards him, but he couldn't see the general Wang Dun, he couldn't help but feel unhappy.
"See General Zu!" Gao Fei and Wang Yunzhi ran to Zu Ti and bowed their hands together.
Zu Ti restrained the horse, jumped off the horse, walked in front of Gao Fei and Wang Yunzhi, and hurriedly said, "The two sons are polite. Why, didn't the general come? ”
Wang Yunzhi hurriedly explained: "Uncle is receiving guests in the hall, and he can't take a break for the time being, so he specially asked me and Brother Yu to come to greet General Zu. ”
Zu Ti sneered: "I don't think he wants to see me, right?" ”
Wang Yunzhi said: "General Zu laughed, if my uncle didn't want to see General Zu, then why did he invite him kindly?" ”
Zu Yi said: "It's not his idea to invite me, but your idea, let me come to Wuchang, isn't it your idea?" If others don't know, don't you know the purpose of my trip? ”
Gao Fei smiled and said: "General Zu, if you come, you will be safe, as long as General Zu has not forgotten the purpose of his trip." General Zu, why should we be bothered by some trivial matters, besides, anyway, my uncle's good days are coming to an end, why should General Zu worry so much about him? ”
Zu Ti was not careful, but unhappy, he came to Wuchang City in person, and Wang Dun did not come to greet him, which was not a way of hospitality at all.
Gao Fei was not very happy when he saw Zu Ti, so he said: "General Zu, let me tell you the truth, my uncle didn't come to see you, in fact, because he was afraid of you." ”
As soon as Zu Ti heard this, he became interested and asked, "You say he's afraid of me?" Is this true? ”
Gao Fei nodded heavily and said: "It's true, my uncle once said that looking at the world, there is only one person who makes him the most jealous, and that person is Yuzhou Thorn Shi Zuqi." When the uncle said this, Yunzhi's brother was also present. ”
Gao Fei turned his head and cast a color at Wang Yunzhi, and then asked, "Is it Brother Yunzhi?" ”
Wang Yunzhi understood what Gao Fei meant, and immediately said: "That's right, my uncle has said this more than once, and General Guo should also know." ”
Guo Shu, who was on the side, nodded and said, "The general did say such a thing. ”
After hearing this, Zu Ti stroked the beard on his chin and smiled happily.
Gao Fei saw that Zu Ti's mood had improved, so he said to Zu Ti: "General Zu, shall we stand here and talk?" ”
Zu Ti said: "Of course, I went in to talk, I want to see what is different about this Great General's Mansion!" ”
So, Gao Fei and Wang Yunzhi led the way in front, Zu Ti followed behind, and Guo Shu followed closely with his subordinates.
When Gao Fei and Wang Yunzhi connected Zu Ti into the General's Mansion, Guo Shu gave an order, and his subordinates returned the same way, and he also followed into the General's Mansion.
At this moment, the general's mansion is very lively, large and small officials are gathered together, the hall is full of people, even the courtyard outside the hall is also crowded with people, although the birthday is every year, but this year is very different, this year is Wang Dun's fifty-fifth birthday, life can have a few fifty five!
In addition, the number of people invited by Wang Dun this year is also several times that of the past, in addition to the assassins of various states, there are also many Taishou who also came to Wuchang to congratulate him on his birthday.
"Yuzhou Thorn History, Pingbei General Zu Ti has arrived!"
With a high-pitched shout from the guest, the originally lively and noisy General's Mansion instantly quieted down, and almost all of them moved their eyes outside, and everyone's hearts were secretly thinking: "Hasn't Zu Ti always been at odds with the general?" Why did he also come to congratulate the general on his birthday? ”
Except for a few insiders, the rest of the people were a little puzzled, not knowing what the purpose of Zu Ti's arrival was.
Zu Ti stood under the corridor outside the hall, and saw the crowd of people in front of him, his sharp gaze quickly swept over everyone's faces, and his expressionless face gradually became gloomy.
At this time, Wang Dun squeezed out of the crowd, and after seeing Zu Ti standing not far away, he arched his hand with a smile on his face and said: "General Zu's arrival really makes the cold house shine......
"Humble House? Hum! The general is really modest enough, if the place where the general lives can also be called a humble house, then how many people in the world live where can be called a real house? Zu Ti said sarcastically coldly.
Wang Dun has never had a good impression of Zu Ti, and when he heard Zu Ti sarcastically mock himself like this, he was also very unhappy, and in front of so many people, he couldn't help but feel that this Zu Ti really didn't know how to lift.
Wang Dun just smiled, and didn't look angry at all, and said to Zu Ti: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect General Zu to still have this temper." Get out of the way and let General Zu come to the hall! ”
With Wang Dun's order, everyone present dodged a road, and Zu Ti walked from this road without hesitation and went directly to Wang Dun. Although he didn't like Wang Dun very much, after all, Wang Dun's official position was higher than him, and for this reason, he reluctantly bowed his hand and said: "The last general, Zu Ti, meet the general!" ”
Wang Dun suddenly sneered: "General Zu is famous, and he is the Yuzhou Assassin Shi and Pingbei General who His Majesty personally enshrined, and even Hu Lu is afraid of General Zu, and General Zu's reputation has already spread all over the world, if General Zu calls himself the last general, then where should those real last generals go?" ”
Zu Ti knew that Wang Dun was hurting himself, and wanted to dismiss the game just now. He didn't get angry, but retorted: "No matter how big the official position is, the last general is not as big as the general, so no matter what official position I have, in front of the general, I can only be the last general." In terms of fame, the last general is not as good as the general, who doesn't know the rumor that 'the king and the horse share the world'. ”
Wang Dun was so sarcastic by Zu Li, he was extremely unhappy, he was about to speak, only to see a person walk out from behind him, glared at Zu Li with cold eyes, and scolded: "Zu Li, Hugh has to be rude to the general!" ”
Everyone looked over, this person's hair and beard were already gray, but he was in good spirits, and he didn't look like an old dragon clock, especially his temples, which were high and bulging, as long as people who practiced martial arts knew that this person's skills were unfathomable.
Zu Ti glanced at the old man, and then sneered: "Who should I be, it turned out to be the new Liangzhou Assassin Shi Ganzhuo Gan old general, Zu is disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”
That person was Gan Zhuo, he stepped forward, reprimanded Zu Ti, and said: "It's good to know who I am, today is the general's birthday, you don't have to talk nonsense there, otherwise, don't blame the old man for being polite." ”
Zu Ti snorted coldly: "I really didn't expect that the famous old General Gan would also become the lackey of the Wang family!" ”
Gan Zhuo was furious, his eyes widened and he yelled at Zu Ti: "Bold! How dare you scold the old man! ”
"How about scolding you, scolding you is still light, you Gan is a loyal martyr, I didn't expect that in your generation, you would be willing to become someone else's lackey......"
"Do you dare to say it again?" Gan Zhuo asked angrily with a gloomy face.
Zu Ti said: "Lackey! Minion! Lackeys ......"
Gan Zhuo's eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and his right hand suddenly stretched out into his arms, and when he took it out again, there was a bright dagger in his hand, and without saying a word, he directly inserted it into Zu Li's chest.
Zu Ti was also caught off guard, and was directly inserted into the chest by Gan Zhuo's dagger, and when he donated blood, Zu Ti hurriedly covered his chest with his hand, staggered backwards for one or two, and then fell to the ground, raised his hand and pointed at Gan Zhuo, wanting to speak, but couldn't speak, his eyes were full of horror.
This scene came so suddenly that everyone didn't expect that Gan Zhuo actually stabbed Zu Ti with a dagger in front of everyone.
"General Zu!" Gao Fei hurriedly ran to Zu Li's side and pressed Zu Li's chest with his hand, but the blood was still bubbling outward.
Zu Ti grabbed Gao Fei's clothes tightly with his hand, his eyes were full of resentment, he wanted to speak but couldn't say it, suddenly "poof", spit blood out of his mouth, struggled for a while, and then died with a whimper.
"Murder! Killed! I don't know who suddenly shouted.
With this shout, everyone was also shocked, and they all focused their eyes on Gan Zhuo's body.
Gan Zhuo frowned, seeing Zu Ti lying in a pool of blood, instead of a trace of remorse, he continued to scold: "Let you still be arrogant!" ”
Gao Fei stretched out his hand, probed his nose under Zu Ti's nose, and suddenly exclaimed, "General Zu...... He's dead! ”
When Wang Dun saw this, he was very happy in his heart, and when he heard Gao Fei say that Zu Ti was dead, not to mention how happy he was. He hurriedly ordered: "Come on, quickly carry General Zu down, let the divine doctor hurry up and treat him, and he must save Zu Ti!" ”
With Wang Dun's order, Deng Yue, who was in charge of the guards, broke over with a few people, and then directly carried Zu Li's body away.
At this moment, Gao Fei stood up from the ground and glanced at Wang Dun. Wang Dun understood, and immediately said: "Today's incident is completely an accident, General Gan missed for a while and accidentally stabbed General Zu, and the big guys have seen it with their own eyes, right?" ”
Where did everyone dare to say nothing, they all nodded one after another.
Wang Dun continued: "This is an unexpected situation, and no one thought of it. But everyone has to testify for General Gan. Today was supposed to be my birthday, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, I think, it's okay if I don't do it on this birthday......"
Xie Kun walked out of the crowd and arched his hand: "General, it's only that General Zu is too strong-mouthed." If this incident affects the general's birthday, his subordinates feel that it is inappropriate. Everyone has been preparing for the general's birthday for a long time, and if it is too sudden, I am afraid that it will make everyone sad. General, I think this birthday should be held as usual, don't be disturbed. ”
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen people also stood up to persuade Wang Dun, and Wang Dun agreed.
Wang Dun saw Gan Zhuo kill Zu Ti with his own eyes, and as soon as Zu Ti died, his opponent would be one less, and he would definitely not be unhappy because of Zu Ti's death. And Gan Zhuo is also on his side, not to mention how happy he is. In addition, today is his birthday, so Wang Dun drank with everyone and continued to celebrate his birthday feast.
The birthday banquet was held as scheduled, and officials of all sizes began to toast Wang Dun, no matter who toasted, Wang Dun drank, and today can be said to be the happiest day he has been in these years.
When the wine was drunk, Gao Fei came to Wang Dun's side and asked, "Uncle, Zu Ti has died, what should I do now?" ”
Wang Dun, who was already slightly drunk, said to Gao Fei: "Death is dead, why are you still asking these things." Cut off his head and hang it on the tower, that it might be known to all people, that this is the result of being against my king. ”
Gao Fei hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't you, if you do this, aren't you telling the whole world that Zu Ti was killed by your uncle?" So how should the people of the world view the uncle? Zu Ti is extremely famous, and now he has died unexpectedly, and he must think of a perfect strategy. Otherwise, how can my uncle explain it to the rest of the world? ”
Wang Dun said: "Then you say, what should I do?" ”
Gao Fei said: "Now many people have seen with their own eyes that Zu Ti was killed by my master Gan Zhuo, if my uncle can seal everyone's mouth, my master Gan Zhuo's reputation will not be damaged, and it can also make Gan Zhuo loyal to his uncle." As for Zu Ti's death, just think of a foolproof plan. In addition, Zu Ti's body has to be sent to Yuzhou, and now that the weather is hot, the corpse is easy to stink after a long time. After the body was sent to Yuzhou, it was buried by Zu Li's subordinates, which can be regarded as being buried in the ground. ”
Wang Dun thought about it and felt that what Gao Fei said was right, so he said, "Okay, just do as you say." You go and pass on my order, and ask Guo Shu to send someone to escort Zu Ti's body back to Yuzhou. ”
Gao Fei nodded, and then said, "Uncle, there is another very important thing, I hope Uncle can do it. ”
"What's the matter?" Wang Dun asked.
"Now Zu Ti is dead, but the news of Zu Ti's death must not be spread, otherwise, once the northern Hulu learns that Zu Ti is dead, they will unscrupulously send troops to attack the Central Plains. Among Zu Ti's subordinates, none of them can have Zu Ti's talent, and they can't resist Hu Lu at all. Once Hu Lu invaded, the Central Plains would inevitably be lost, and at that time, the imperial army's army would be defeated and flee south. If the Central Plains is lost, then Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, which are under the jurisdiction of my uncle, will be directly attacked by Hu Lu, how can my uncle go to the side of Jiankang Qingjun? ”
Wang Dun frowned, feeling that Gao Fei's reminder was very right, so he said to Gao Fei: "Virtuous nephew, what you said is very correct, why didn't my uncle think of this." Don't worry, this matter is on your uncle's body, you just have to go and order Guo Shu, let Guo Shu send Zu Li's body back to Yuzhou, and I will let people keep Zu Li's death. ”
"Whoa!"
