Chapter 40: Xue Wanche Assassinates the King
Li Kuan sat in the room, a lamp like a bean, and the faint twilight of the fire illuminated this small room. Xue Wanche hasn't come back yet, and it seems that he is trapped in the city. But Li Kuan was not worried about his safety, because this small Taiyuan City could not trap him, although the Wang family was a powerful local snake entrenched here, but Xue Wanche was only going to send one thing, how could he fight with them?
But as there were bursts of ridicule in the direction of Taiyuan City, Li Kuan couldn't sit still, on the outskirts of Taiyuan City, less than ten miles away, his keen ear power allowed him to faintly hear the shouts in Taiyuan City, as well as the sound of fighting. He stood up, walked to the bedside to check that the little turnip head who was asleep on the bed was still asleep, and then quietly pushed the window open, and then turned over and jumped out.
The night was as deep as water, and Li Kuan was running on the road outside the city, and the silk shirt on his body was blown up by the wind and pulled behind him, making a loud noise. Maybe the speed was not very fast, but it had already arrived outside Taiyuan City in a moment, and ten miles of land was not too far under his feet. At this time, he was under the three or four zhang high city walls of Taiyuan City, looking for a lot that he could climb into.
The flowers bloom at two ends, one on each branch.
Xue Wanche was squatting outside the Wang family's head of study at this time, peeping at an old man taking a bath, this picture was so beautiful that he didn't dare to look at it, but he endured the terrible consequences of the long needle's eye and continued to peep secretly. Because he was afraid that if he turned around, the old man put it away, and he would really lose the opportunity to see its true face. For the box that was taken out of the Golden Tower. Xue Wanche is really interested. Because he felt that this qiē was arranged by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had always been mysterious, then the things in it must have a different meaning, and it was definitely worth his investigation like this.
Wang Jun, the old guy, started to take a bath in the middle of the night. And it was in this study, which made Xue Wanche extremely painful. But the old fellow washed it very carefully, even with the gray hair. I also freshened up carefully. In the era when there was no soap, this old guy used his hands to ask the subordinates who served him to take a bath to help rub it, and the picture made Xue Wanche feel his eyes tingling, it seems that the eye of the needle is fixed.
But the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and the old fellow took a bath in the middle of the night, and then put on his clothes that were fragrant with incense, and got up.
Take out the box that is respectfully enshrined in front of the portrait of Confucius in the study, and then insert three sticks of incense into the incense burner. In the green smoke, the old man bowed three times and bowed nine times. While kneeling down, he was still muttering something in his mouth, but Xue Wanche was too far away to hear it.
After worshipping Confucius, Wang Jun stood up, shook the hem of his shirt, brushed away the dust that did not have zài, and then stepped forward and picked up the box. Turning to the gate and sitting down: "Come on, guard the door, no one is allowed to come in!" ”
Following Wang Jun's command, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door. At all times by his side is a team of guards who are responsible for his safety.
After making sure that no one could come in, Wang Jun put the box on the table: "The ancestors of the Wang clan are on top, the twenty-first patriarch of the Wang clan. Prince Wang Jun knocked here and saw it, and the sky was pitiful. The ambitions of our ancestors are now unfolding. The grand blueprint is about to open today, and Zi'an feels extremely honored! As he spoke, he knelt down again in the direction of the Wang ancestral hall.
Xue Wanche was speechless outside the window at this time, because he was standing in the direction of Wang Jun's kneeling at this time, that is to say, this old man worshiped his ancestors for three bows and nine knocks, and Xue Wanche endured it all his life. But he didn't dare to move at this time, because there were Wang Jun's guards not far from him. If it weren't for the fact that after coming in over the wall, he found a clean suit and changed into the bloody clothes on his body, then the smell of blood on his body would probably expose him. Therefore, he could only apologize to the old man in his heart: "It's not that you have the intention to take advantage of you, but you knelt down and worshipped yourself." ”
Not to mention this, I saw that Wang Jun had already gotten up at this time, and slowly stood up, as if he had a thousand heavy burdens on his body, and the originally rickety figure couldn't even straighten his waist at this time. But his eyes were flickering with a frenzy, an inexplicable excitement. Then he sat down, turned sideways to Xue Wanche, and then opened the box again.
"Hmm......" Just when Wang Jun opened the box, Xue Wanche felt a burst of surprise, because at the moment when the box was half-covered and half-opened, a soft light shone in the cracks of the box, which Xue Wanche absolutely dared to guarantee that he was not dazzled or mistaken. This box is really a great thing, but I don't know if His Royal Highness the King of Chu knows it.
But as the gap in the box opened wider and wider, something that Xue Wanche was even more surprised to happen, because the contents of the box, he knew.
It's not just about knowing, he can be said to have worked hard for this thing. But now that it actually appears here, could it be that this qiē was designed by Li Kuan, the king of Chu? At this time, Xue Wanche felt a kind of anger in his heart, because he felt that he had been deceived, and he felt that he was a fool, a fool who was played around. He looked at the thing in Wang Jun's hand in a daze, the familiar style, the thing that emitted a pure light, like the brightest star in the sky, and the vermilion base, which he couldn't accept in any way. This thing is what he has protected along the way, and it is something that he and his brothers have always regarded as more important than their lives, even if countless brothers have fallen in this pursuit, but thinking of what is still in their arms, everyone does not feel that it is a supreme honor. But now this thing has been thrown into the Wang family's compound like garbage. This made him feel at once that what he had done was completely meaningless, and all his efforts were completely denied at this moment; All the persistence, all the glory and pride, was shattered at this moment.
His eyes turned red, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, but at this time he was still patient, enduring not letting himself make a sound, not exposing himself. But then Wang Jun's behavior really completely made him lose his mind, and he rushed out completely regardless of it.
Because the old man, with his thin hands, grabbed the big seal, then found a piece of silk, and covered the big seal with a sigh. Eight vermilion characters were stamped on the silk silk: 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!' The red glare seemed to be condensed by countless fiery blood, and Xue Wanche felt that among them were the brothers under his command before, although they were born in the Xuanjiawei, but after several months of fighting career, he completely regarded those people as his brothers.
"I'm afraid that the Xuanjia guards who are protecting this thing won't know that the things they swore to protect are still in the hands of my Wang clan after a big circle here! Those guys are so tough, they don't even want to die for this thing. It's amazing, but they're dead, and they're lost, it's like throwing a bag of garbage, haha...... Xue Wanche, that guy, left his subordinates again and again, and fled with this thing again and again. For you, the old man has slaughtered so many people, like that Dijia Village, and what Wangshantun. Haha...... "Wang Jun, a seventy or eighty-year-old guy, was as sad as if he had lost his mind, and he unscrupulously talked about the things he did in order to get the jade seal of the country. But he didn't expect these words, and it even more irritated the person who was hiding outside his window.
"Ahh Even if Xue Wanche's nerves are as tough as steel, he can't stand it at this time, he can endure the death of his soldiers and his brothers, but he can't tolerate their death being trampled on, and their efforts have become a laughing stock. So at this time, he was completely crazy, not caring about the risk of being discovered and being besieged, he rushed out, his majestic body broke through the window lattice, and rushed directly into Wang Jun's study.
"Old fellow, hand over the stuff!" Xue Wanche shouted, making Wang Jun, who was laughing like crazy, not making a sound like a duck choked by the neck, and at the same time, his arm like a bear's paw poked out directly like lightning, and snatched the jade seal in Wang Jun's hand.
"Who are you?" Wang Jun was interrupted by someone and laughed, and saw a black figure rushing over directly, and before he could shout and ask, he had already collided with the figure, and then he felt as if he was pressed by a mountain, his chest was full of breath, and then his hand was light, and he immediately knew that the heirloom jade seal in his hand was taken away by the other party.
"Someone, catch the assassin!" Wang Jun hurriedly shouted, at this time he really wanted to put this person to death, dare to seize the most critical item of the Wang family's grand cause in his hands, it was simply unreasonable, he must be cut three thousand six hundred and eighty-four knives before he died. But before he could carry out the vicious thoughts in his heart, he felt a strong force in his chest, as if he had been trampled by a wild elephant.
Then, Wang Jun was gone, he was seventy or eighty years old, and he was punched in the chest by Xue Wanche with such a full force, Xue Wanche's punch directly discounted his sternum, and then the broken bones pierced into the lungs, as well as squeezed his fragile heart, the biggest pillar of the Wang family now, ended his life like this.
At this moment, the guards outside the door also rushed in, and they saw a big black man punching the old man and flying out, and then the old man's body spat blood in mid-air, crossed an arc and fell to the ground, and bounced up, and then he was motionless.
"Kill him......" This group of guards knew that they were finished waiting for the others, and under their own protection, the head of the family was actually assassinated, how could these guards escape! At this time, the only way to kill the thief in front of him and avenge the head of the family is that it is possible to save his family, otherwise his family will be buried with him. So a group of people attacked Xue Wanche with all their might, and the weapons in their hands were used without hesitation. (To be continued......)
