Chapter 193: Shepherding

There is an imperial banquet for food, entertainment in the music and dance; Return to the day of the mountains, only looking forward to the front of the sheep.

When Yingbu learned that Lu Chen was going to see Zhang Liang, he was immediately shocked. He admired Zhang Liang, but he was even more afraid. But thinking of Zhang Liang's situation at this time, he stabilized his mind.

"Master Lu, I won't tell you a secret. Zhang Situ: I respect me! But he is still in trouble at this time, and it is really not wise for you to ask him to save the righteous emperor. ”

Lu Chen did not deny Yingbu's words, but only slowly continued after the other party finished speaking: "In the next place, Lord Zhang really has no way to save Emperor Yi, but he said how to save the general!" Lu Chen deliberately reversed the subject and verb, in order to attract the attention of the other party.

When Yingbu heard that it was to save himself, he immediately lifted his spirits. He was silent for a long time before he asked Lu Chen, "Save me?" What's so hard about me, I need to be rescued?! Master Lu doesn't need to be alarmist! β€œ

Seeing that Yingbu was skeptical, Lu Chen casually pretended to be sorry and said: "Lord Zhang once said that the general can argue about crises and be sensible. When I saw it today, I was afraid that Lord Zhang had lost his eyes. β€œ

This trick made Yingbu hesitate a little, and he carefully analyzed his situation. After a little clue, he asked tentatively: "Master Lu said that Zhang Situ has a word for you to bring to me, I don't know which twelve words?" β€œ

Lu Chen heard Yingbu's question, and knew that the other party had taken the bait, so he immediately said with a stern face: "The birds are gone; Good bow hidden! The cunning rabbit died; Lackeys cooked!! β€œ

When Yingbu heard these twelve words, he immediately felt a chill. He himself had thought about some bad consequences, but he was never willing to accept them. Now that Lu Chen has pierced this layer of window paper, he has begun to worry about his future again. "Master Lu, I have known Zhang Situ for a long time. I would like to listen to him, but I will not act on his will. If you have anything to say, say it. I'm in the old days, and I'll give you a good time. Although Yingbu said cruel words, he had already shown cowardice invisibly.

Lu Chen saw that the time was ripe, and hurriedly continued: "General, I want to ask you." Is it Fan Zeng's order to assassinate me and Emperor Yi? β€œ

Yingbu didn't answer, but still stared at Lu Chen, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Seeing that Yingbu was speechless, Lu Chen took it upon himself to answer: "Xiang Yugui is the overlord, you are his subordinate, but you have to obey Fan Zeng's orders." Even if he is Xiang Yu's father, it is unknown whether this matter has been discussed with Xiang Yu. Today, Fan Zeng asked you to get rid of the two of us, thinking that he wanted to blame Liu Bang or Lord Zhang. If the matter is revealed in the future, do you think Fan Zeng will protect you?! ”

Lu Chen's words were like heavy rain in the cold winter, making Yingbu feel cold and biting. He knew that Fan Zeng was a person, and naturally he also knew what would happen to him if the assassination of Emperor Yi was leaked. But what surprised him the most was that Lu Chen could see things so thoroughly, as if he was there when Fan Zeng commanded him.

"Lord Lu, I, Yingbu, am not a murderous person. Since he became a general, he naturally acted in accordance with military orders. It's not that I don't know what you said, but if I don't obey Fan Zeng's orders, I'm afraid that after I go back, I will be a dead man! ”

Yingbu didn't say anything to death, but he also explained his situation. He didn't want Lu Chen to understand him, but told the other party that none of this was his intention.

"General, in addition to asking me to convey the twelve words to you, Lord Zhang has also thought of a way to get the best of both worlds for you, I wonder if you would like to hear it?" Lu Chen deliberately said that the idea was what Zhang Liang thought, in order to increase Yingbu's trust, because he could see that the other party still trusted Zhang Liang.

Yingbu really didn't expect Lu Chen, and when he heard that Zhang Liang had thought of a way for himself, he hurriedly said, "Zhang Situ has a way?" Then tell me quickly! ”

When Lu Chen saw that Yingbu had been shaken, he felt that he had an extra chance of winning, and then hurriedly said: "The general is carrying out Fan Zeng's order, and I don't know what the order is. But it's nothing more than disposing of me and Emperor Yi secretly. The general might as well do so, as for the dead, where can I not find a few?! The corpse's face was treated and, if necessary, covered with fire. As long as the body shape and clothes are the same as those of me and Emperor Yi, is it possible that Fan Zeng can still see the clues? ! After the general completes the task, he can naturally go to his life. Emperor Yi and I will also disappear from now on, and if someone mentions it in the future, at the last moment, you can also earn a chance to live for yourself! ”

Ying Bu listened to the other party's method and felt that there was still something wrong, so he immediately said: "If you and Emperor Yi have not escaped after surviving, and you directly gather the princes or are discovered and captured by Fan Zeng, then I will not be able to escape death." And even if you disappear and someone else reveals that I murdered you two in the future, how can I clear my name?! ”

Seeing that Yingbu had many worries, Emperor Yi replied casually: "General, I have a solution. I will write an edict in my own handwriting, stating your merits, and if you are falsely accused and you cannot find us, it will prove your innocence. As for your worries about the two of us biting back, it is groundless, just ask if anyone dares to stand up for me today? If we don't hide, won't we kill ourselves? "Emperor Yi never called himself "I" anymore, because what he wanted was to turn himself back into an ordinary person.

Yingbu thought about Emperor Yi's words repeatedly and felt that they were very reasonable. But he didn't dare to agree easily, because the matter was too important, and if anything went wrong, it would be him who was unlucky!

Seeing Yingbu's hesitation, Lu Chen immediately remembered the words of the other party before breaking up with Zhang Liang. So he hurriedly said, "General, Master Zhang has one more word. He said that your ambition should be higher, and your career is definitely not here. You'll meet again! ”

When Yingbu heard Lu Chen's relay, he was immediately shocked! This was originally the words that the other party said when he and Zhang Liang were separated in the cottage. Now the repetition of the old words not only reminds him of the kindness of the guidance back then, but also feels a little incredible. He can now be regarded as famous, but Zhang Liang still sends himself this sentence, doesn't that mean that he still hasn't reached his peak now, and Xiang Yu is not his final destination!

Thinking of this time, the scale in Yingbu's heart shallow tilted towards the side of Emperor Yi. He had an indescribable feeling for Zhang Liang, and always felt that the other party's words would definitely come true!

After weighing it for a long time, Yingbu finally made a decision. I saw him suddenly draw his sword, and then shouted outside the tent: "Someone! ”

Emperor Yi and Lu Chen were shocked when they saw him draw his sword and shout. Both of them thought that they could not escape death, and sighed helplessly. After seeing the sergeant enter the account, the two regained their spirits, as if they were not afraid of death, and wanted to die calmly.

But before the sergeant could make any move, Yingbu said to the sergeant in a deep voice: "You guys are secretly looking for a few corpses that have just died!" As long as the men! And then quietly arrived, do you understand? ”

The accompanying sergeants were all Yingbu's confidants, and when they heard his order, they didn't ask too much, and immediately agreed to retreat.

At this time, Emperor Yi and Lu Chen realized that the other party had agreed to their proposal. The two of them let out a long breath together, and the aftermath of a catastrophe made them feel that life was the most precious thing in the world, and no matter how much power and wealth they had, they couldn't compare with it!

Seeing that Emperor Yi and Lu Chen had already put down the big stone in their hearts, they looked excited. Yingbu immediately said: "I don't care about the words of the two, it's just that I believe Zhang Situ. In the past, I had his guidance, but in fact, what I wanted to do most in this life was to be a general under his account. It's a pity that providence makes people. When I was in Guanzhong, I also made it clear that I had nothing to do with him, but unfortunately it was an empty word after all. After you two escape, be sure to hide your tracks so that no one finds out. Otherwise, even if I die, I will slash you two first! β€œ

Hearing Yingbu's words, Emperor Yi nodded in agreement. Lu Chen clenched his fists and said to him: "General, since you believe in Lord Zhang, that Xiang Yu and him will have another battle sooner or later." Where do you go from here? β€œ

Yingbu didn't have too much worry about Lu Chen's problem, just smiled slightly, and then calmly replied: "For the sake of the enemy, you must naturally be loyal and brave!" As long as it's not a villain, I'm willing to compete with Zhang Situ! No matter what the outcome, no complaints! β€œ

Hearing his reply, Lu Chen began to get to know Yingbu in front of him again! He was a military man, a pure military man. He disdains intrigue, but has a penchant for real fighting. At the same time, Lu Chen also secretly thanked Zhang Liang in his heart, it was because of his strategy and last words that Emperor Yi and himself were able to get out of danger.

In the camp of the righteous emperor in the middle of the night, the sergeants had already fallen asleep. In the dark night, several sergeants were carefully carrying a few corpses into the tent of the righteous emperor. When he was young, two men dressed in civilian clothes quietly left the camp under the leadership of Yingbu.

That night, Emperor Yi's tent suddenly caught fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind to start, and it was difficult to control it for a while. When the fire was extinguished, the sergeants found several bodies that had been unrecognizable. Two of them were judged by their bodies and clothes to be Emperor Yi and Situ Luchen, while the remaining corpses were vaguely recognizable in nocturnal black clothes.

The Yingbu army was tacitly aware of the murder of Emperor Yi. Yingbu took the opportunity to inform the whole army that Emperor Yi and LΓΌ Situ were killed by the assassins, and after the assassins' whereabouts were exposed, they did not hesitate to set fire to the camp and die together with Emperor Yi. As for who instigated it, it remains to be ascertained!

A few days later, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng of Xianyang, as well as Zhang Liang, who was still on his way home, received the news of Emperor Yi's murder.

Xiang Yu didn't care about the death of Emperor Yi. Fan Zeng was smiling, and then discussed that Xiang Yu would hold a grand funeral for Emperor Yi, and he would strictly investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.

Zhang Liang heard that Emperor Yi was unrecognizable when he died, and immediately smiled. At the same time, he looked at the birds flying freely in the sky and sighed: "The sky is high for the birds to fly, and the sea is wide for the fish to leap." You're free! ”

Soon after, two strangers appeared in a remote mountain village. When the villagers learned that they were poor people fleeing the famine, they accepted them. When asked what they would do to make a living, the younger one immediately laughed and said, "I will shepherd the sheep ......" (to be continued). )
