Chapter 1068: Infernal
Dongfang Xin said sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about? Before Dong Shizhen died, he was delirious and was talking nonsense. ”
"Dongfang Xin, what you said is wrong, before a person dies, it is often the most sober time." Chu Huan stretched out his hand and held the handle of the saber at his waist, and took two steps closer to Dongfang Xin, "Before Lord Dong died, he thought clearly that it was you who set up a plot to assassinate us, and now that Zhao Xin has confessed, what else do you have to quibble?" ”
Dongfang's confidence was like a mess, and when he saw Chu Huan's eyes burning, he was even more frightened, and couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency, you ...... You must not listen to rumors, all this ...... It's not about me! ”
"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to defend yourself? If you really have a grievance, go to Beijing and explain it to the imperial court. Chu Huan's expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Come on, take Dongfang Xin!" ”
The Guards samurai sword stepped forward and surrounded Dongfang Xin, who was flustered and suddenly heard a voice shouting: "General, go quickly!" Immediately the sound of Jin Ge's exchange of blows sounded, Hao Tong was already slashing at a guard warrior with a horizontal knife, and several guards behind him also followed, raising their knives and slashing, Hao Tong and his guards were all loyal to Dongfang Xin, at this time, seeing that Dongfang Xin's situation was critical, he immediately took action, wanting to help Dongfang Xin kill a bloody way.
This way, a group of officials dodged one after another, Dongfang Xin only had the last hope at this time, that is, to kill the general's mansion, go out of the city to gather soldiers and horses, see the chaos everywhere, no longer hesitate, cut off the drink, turn around and leave.
He has experienced a hundred battles, has strong actual combat experience, at this time he is desperate to make a living, the tiger is vigorous, and rushed to Hao Tong's side, Hao Tong's side has already opened a gap, Dongfang Xin rushed out of the gap, took a knife handed over by Hao Tong, and said in a deep voice: "Follow me out of the city." "Take the lead and rush to the outside of the general's mansion.
Chu Huan drew his knife in his hand and said loudly: "Dongfang Xinxing stabbed Dong Shizhen, intending to rebel and take down the traitor." "Catch up with the crowd.
Although Dongfang Xin was burly, he was flying under his feet, leading Hao Tong and several others to go straight to the outside of the General's Mansion, he knew the pattern of the General's Mansion well, and began to lead people to the main gate, and suddenly thought that the front and back doors of the General's Mansion were blocked by Chu Huan's subordinates, and turned his head to the side courtyard, Hao Tong and others held knives to guard the side, and the footsteps behind him, Chu Huan led people to follow.
"It's our people who defend the city." Dongfang Xin said while running: "You follow me out of the city, as long as you go out of the city, gather soldiers and horses, and immediately kill back to Shuoquan City, and when the time comes, take the surname Chu, and you will definitely break him into ten thousand pieces." ”
In a moment, Dongfang Xin and his entourage ran to the side wall, the high-walled compound of the General's Mansion, Hao Tong didn't say a word, squatted on the ground, and said: "My lord go out over the wall, I'll stay here to stop the enemy!" ”
Dongfang Xin's eyes showed gratitude, and he reached out and patted Hao Tong on the shoulder, "With a friend like you, although I have no regrets." Chu Huan and the others followed closely behind, Dongfang Xin didn't dare to delay, stepped on Hao Tong's shoulder, slammed his feet, jumped up, and was about to jump onto the wall, he was in the air, but he heard a whistling sound behind him, Dongfang Xin couldn't turn back at all, and then he heard a "poof" sound, felt that his back was tight first, and then he felt that the whole body was in sharp pain, and the strength of his whole body disappeared in an instant, becoming as heavy as a thousand catties, and falling down.
"Your Excellency, ......!" Hao Tong and the others screamed.
Dongfang Xin fell heavily on the corner, sat on the ground, lowered his head, but found that a long knife penetrated his body from behind, the blade was as red as blood, but it was Chu Huan's saber.
Dongfang Xin's eyes were wide open, he had an excellent physique, although he was pierced by a long knife, but he didn't die for a while, he tried his best to raise his head, only to see that Chu Huan led the guards and warriors had rushed over, surrounded in a semi-arc, Chu Huan was expressionless, staring at Dongfang Xin's face, and said lightly: "Dongfang Xinxing assassinated the imperial court officials, and fled in defeat, and there was no forgiveness for killing!" ”
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, but a large group of officials also followed to watch the excitement, and everyone saw Dongfang Xin with his back against the wall, and the long knife pierced his chest, and they couldn't live, and they were all shocked in their hearts.
Seeing Chu Huan's indifferent expression, Dongfang Xin's aura suddenly appeared, and he suddenly understood something, raised his arm with all his might, pointed at Chu Huan, and hissed: "Yes...... It's you, it turns out ...... Hahahaha......! He laughed, his tone full of unwillingness and helplessness: "I knew this was the case, I ...... I should have led your troops...... I'll ...... you to pieces! He coughed violently, and blood gushed outwards from his mouth, dripping onto his chest, mixing with the blood that came out of his chest, staining his armor red.
"It's too late to say that." Chu Huan sighed, raised his hand, and immediately came up behind a group of soldiers, but his hands were all bows and arrows, aimed at Hao Tong and the others, Hao Tong and the others glanced at each other, and then heard Hao Tong shout, clenched the hand knife, like an enraged cheetah, and rushed over to this side.
Chu Huan shook his head with a hint of regret in his eyes, and sighed: "Hao Tong and the others, stubborn, there is no mercy for killing!" ”
Arrows flew and shot out like rain, Hao Tong came first, only rushed out a few steps, the sound of "poof" sounded, the arrows did not enter his body, several arrows shot the vital point, he ran out of a few steps with the arrows, he couldn't hold it, knelt on the ground, his body moved, and then fell headlong, and several guards behind him also fell to the ground with arrows, and the air was instantly filled with the smell of blood.
The officials not far behind Chu Huan were all frightened.
Dong Shizhen was stabbed in Beiwanglou, and the officials were already taken aback, and no one could have imagined that in less than half a day, Dongfang Xin, another giant in Xiguan, also resisted arrest and was killed.
What happened today is still felt like a dream by many officials, unable to digest it.
But some shrewd officials always feel that things are a little strange, but what happened is so logical, Dongfang Xin wants to monopolize power, so he sent someone to assassinate Chu Huan at the birthday banquet, not only to assassinate Chu Huan, but also to assassinate Dong Shizhen, Dong Shizhen was unlucky, and was stabbed on the spot, but Chu Huan escaped, and then pursued the fugitive, searched the general's mansion, Dongfang Xin harbored the assassin Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin couldn't stop Chu Huan's interrogation, confessed that Dongfang Xin was the mastermind behind the scenes, Dongfang Xin didn't dare to fail, and tried to break through, but was killed by Chu Huan, Everything seems reasonable, and there are no flaws.
As for the guards and warriors, they are full of admiration for Chu Huan's means of throwing a knife to kill the enemy, it seems very simple, but the mastery of strength and timing is not something that anyone can do, Dongfang Xin is wearing armor, Chu Huan is not close, but he can use a sharp knife to break the armor and penetrate the body, this ability, few people can do it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone can see clearly, Dongfang Xin sent people to assassinate Ben Du and Dong Shizhen, and they were defeated and resisted arrest, and Ben Du was forced to kill him." Chu Huan turned around, glanced at the officials behind him, and sighed: "Dong Da is talented, but he was killed by Dongfang Xin, which is really regrettable...... ”
Dong Shizhen and Dongfang Xin were both killed in one day, and now the leader of Xiguan Road is naturally none other than Chu Huan, Chu Huan acted decisively and mercilessly, and the officials were also horrified in their hearts, at this time the blood has not disappeared, who dares to show the slightest disobedience, they are all said again and again: "The Governor is discerning, Dongfang believes in the wolf's ambitions, if it is not for the Lord's decisive action, Xiguan will definitely be doomed." ”
"Ben Governor knows that everyone is in a hurry to go back now." Chu Huan said solemnly: "However, this governor still has important matters to discuss with you, and I ask you to wait in the lobby first!" ”
The officials looked at each other, but at this time, who dared to say a word "no", and said: "Follow the orders of the Governor." ”
The officials were taken to the lobby of the General's Mansion, and the General's Mansion was besieged, Chu Huan asked Zhao Xin and Mrs. Dongfang to be temporarily detained, called Xuanyuan Shengcai, and asked, "Has everything been arranged?" ”
"Lord Hui, the manpower has been selected, and the order and general seal of Dongfang Xin have also arrived, and you can set off now!"
Chu Huan said solemnly: "Everything is according to the original plan, immediately send people out of the city." ”
Waiting for Xuanyuan Sheng to retreat, Chu Huan came to the hut where Zhao Xin was detained, two warriors guarded outside the door, Chu Huan entered the door, the house was lit with lights, Zhao Xin, who was originally tied up by five flowers, was already untied at this time, and was sitting in the house drinking tea, hearing the movement, Zhao Xin raised his head, saw Chu Huan, immediately got up, took two steps forward, knelt on the ground, and arched his hand: "Zhao Xin to meet the Governor!" ”
Chu Huan raised his hand and said with a smile: "Zhao Xin, this time you have made great contributions, and this governor is very satisfied with you." ”
Zhao Xin said: "Your Excellency is polite, if it weren't for your careful arrangement, Zhao Xin's deep hatred and hatred would be difficult to repay in this life." ”
"Zhao Xin, you are a lover, for so many years, to Mrs. Dongfang...... Well, I'm sorry, you should call her Xiaoyun, you have a deep love for Xiaoyun, such a man who values love and righteousness is rare in the world. Chu Huan said solemnly: "If it weren't for knowing that you are so affectionate to Xiaoyun and attach great importance to love and righteousness, this governor would not dare to believe you easily." ”
Zhao Xin smiled bitterly: "The little one knows that the adults are cautious, so they take the initiative to ask for the poison." ”
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Actually, the poison that Ben Du gave you at that time was not a real poison, since you dare to take it, it proves that you really want to help Ben Du, and it doesn't matter whether the poison is real or not." ”
"So ......!" Zhao Xin was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "The adults are resourceful, Zhao is convinced." He said strangely: "Didn't my lord set up such a plan from the beginning?" ”
"Dong Shizhen and Dongfang Xin are many powerful people in Xiguan, and it will be difficult for this governor to bring them down if he doesn't come up with another trick." Chu Huan motioned for Zhao Xin to sit down, "Only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you win all battles, from the very beginning, I sent someone to secretly investigate Dongfang Xin's intelligence, only to learn that Dongfang Xin had that past with you...... You fell in love with Xiaoyun back then, and even had a private lifelong agreement, Dongfang Xin took Xiaoyun away from you for his own selfish desires, regardless of his brother's righteousness, Ben Du thought that as long as a little bloody man, he would not be reconciled. ”
Zhao Xin clenched his fists and sneered: "Back then, we joined the army together, and we married Jin Lan, and we fought with him in blood, but no matter how much credit we made, he took it for himself, and rose step by step, and our brother's life became a stepping stone for him to rise to the top....... ”
