Chapter 210: Incident
"I see, hurry up, we're pressed for time!"
Liu Fa frowned, then stretched out again, glanced up at Han Ju, was silent for a moment, and finally let Han Ju go down first.
No matter how urgent you are, you can't startle the snake, and many things can't be rushed.
The night is getting deeper, the snow is pouring and the clouds are heavy.
The dark walls of the city resisted the hail mixed with the snow, and on the top of the city, the banner was unfurled, as if it was about to be blown off.
"Alas!"
In the dust, two lonely figures stood silently side by side, one of them was extremely tall, but there was a kind of tiredness that was indescribable.
"What do you think will happen to the Southern Prison?"
Xin He stood at the head of the city, shook the wind and snow on his body, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, he saw Nangong Zhifu half a year ago, how heroic he was, and now, like an old man in the twilight, half a head of white hair, you know, Nangong Zhifu is not much older than him, but when he was established, he looked like an old man.
The clouds and smoke of the past, grievances and hatreds, at this moment, all turned into wind and snow, which could only make the two of them feel cold.
Nangong Zhinu did not marry a wife and have children, he was destined to be a lonely person, and he didn't know why he was alive......
"It's coming, it's coming soon......"
Nangong Zhi looked at the starry sky angrily, his eyes didn't blink, and he let the wind and snow fall, and his eyes were cloudy.
Through the wind and snow, in the wilderness, in the city lord's mansion, An Shixian sat quietly on the big chair, wearing a robe, squinting his eyes, and gently tapping on the table.
The hall was quiet, but it was full of people, even Antonye, who was among them, but Antonye seemed to be asleep, ignoring everyone in the hall, just closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Well, it's all here!"
An Shixian finally opened his eyes, coughed lightly, stroked his beard, glanced at everyone, nodded, and felt a sense of pride in his heart.
"What do you want us to do, we are all willing to die for our adults!"
Ye Qiqi saw An Shixian looking at him, his heart moved, knowing that An Shixian needed his support at this time, he sighed in his heart, and then knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice.
When the generals behind heard Ye Qiqi like this, they didn't dare to slack off, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted after Ye Qiqi.
"Hahahaha, good!"
Hearing the words of the generals, An Shixian nodded with satisfaction, then stood up, and ordered his subordinates to take out a piece of paper.
Everyone looked at the document and didn't know the content inside, but just watched silently, and one of them had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and his face was a little puzzled.
"Cough, this is a handwritten letter from Lord Shaofu, Liu Fa is plotting rebellion, he is really a thief in the Southern Prison, he should be punished!"
An Shixian unfolded the paperwork, then read it aloud to everyone, and then smiled: "Lord Shaofu has an order, ordering my Mangyuan soldiers to go out on the same day to recover the dust pass, do you have any objections?" ”
After speaking, he glanced at everyone, then raised his voice lightly, and continued: "Since there is no objection, I also ask General Ye to order troops and break through the dust pass as soon as possible. ”
Ye Qiqi stood up slowly, and without waiting for a step, a voice shouted, "I object." ”
The cheers were followed by the sound of footsteps on the ground, and a man was lying in front of the hall, holding the hilt of a knife, followed by dozens of guards, all eyeing each other. The face was full of solemnity. All the officials knew that the person in front of the hall was called Lu Su, who was originally a captain in Mangyuan City, and he was usually unknown, but he didn't expect to bring troops out today, and he couldn't help but look at each other. An Shixian frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Su, what are you going to do, don't you want to rebel?" ”
Lu Su sneered: "I'm just afraid that I want to be an adult, right?" ”
Before An Shixian could speak, another person hurriedly walked out, pointed at Lu Su's nose and reprimanded, "Captain Lu, why did you say this?" Lord Shaofu was anxious to believe it, and said it clearly, the city lord was just acting on orders, could this also be a rebellion? It's a ridiculous joke! ”
All the masters, Guang Cao, and Gong Cao all shouted: "Lu Su, quickly tell all the guards to retreat." You're just a lieutenant. actually waved a knife at the county guard, what kind of system. Are you going to rebel? ”
These people reprimanded one after another, but they didn't dare to step forward, they were all civilian officials, and Lu Su was followed by dozens of guards, which stumped the officials.
Lu Su sneered, looked at everyone, straightened up, and then said loudly: "General Liu Fa came to the South Prison, went all the way to the east and west, killed countless barbarians, and saved the people and water and fire, how could such a man who stood up to the sky and the earth rebel, not to mention, it was also the Lord Shaofu who personally rescued General Liu Fa back then, how could he rebel, besides, if it weren't for General Liu Fa, everyone here, can you still sit here in peace and quiet, hum!" ”
Some of the officials were clear, some were confused, and they were all silent, not knowing which side to believe. But at this time, you can't take a wrong step, otherwise it will easily cause death.
The person who spoke just now sneered: "It's understandable that Lord Lu doesn't know, because Lord An has already blocked this news, so you don't know." Liu Fa led his troops out of the Southern Prison, but he plotted to rebel, and several generals hunted and killed, but let him slip through the net. The wanted documents have long been issued to the counties, and the people of An have already received the documents, but they have been kept secret. This is also why Lord An is afraid that the people of the Southern Prison will be disappointed, after all, Liu Fa has indeed done a lot of good things for the people of the Southern Prison before, and this is the reason why the city lord does not dare to say it. ”
Saying that, this person glanced at An Shixian again, and made a deep gift with great sincerity, which made An Shixian very comfortable.
The officials secretly looked at An Shixian again, only to see that An Shixian had already pretended to be ashamed, silent, after all, he was an old fox, and he still had a set of tricks.
The officials looked at each other, all uneasy. You must know that in the counties of the Sui Dynasty, except for the county guard, the county officer, the county lieutenant, and the county commander were appointed by the Shaofu Lord, the rest of the Guangcao, the main book, Gong Cao, Xi Cao and others were all appointed by the county guard or the county commander himself. Only then can there be officials who can do business and do things nepotistically. An Shixian is the city lord of Mangyuan City, and the officials in this hall are basically appointed by him, so he can be regarded as a cronie. But the Great Sui was afraid of the rebellion of the hundred officials, so the school captain's office and the county guards were self-contained and restrained each other, and the county guards were under the control of Qin Wen, but the school captain was under the control of An Shixian.
It's just that An Shixian doesn't know what kind of wind this Lu Su is smoking, it is like this, he has a murderous intent in his heart, but he doesn't say much, just watching Lu Su perform like a clown.
"Nonsense!"
Lu Su's face turned red, his throat was pulled, and he looked coldly at the person who had just spoken, and his hand was pressed to the knife on his waist.
The officials were worried in their hearts, but they were grateful for An Shixian's promotion, but they were in a hurry but had no choice. Seeing that everyone was silent, although he was anxious in his heart, he sneered on the surface, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and then groped in his arms for a long time, and finally took out a thing from it, and said with great joy: "I also have a letter from Lord Shaofu here, and the officials may wish to take a look." ”
Some of the officials stared at the roll of paper, their faces were complicated, and some stood around, but An Shixian stood still. His eyes rolled, and he glanced at Ye Seventeen, secretly anxious. Seeing that Dou Yi was speechless, Lu Su shook his head and said, "An Shixian, it seems that you are determined to rebel, and it doesn't matter if you look at it or not." Shuyun: Captain Lu Su has a secret life, spying on the officials of Mangyuan, but he can act cheaply, and if there is a rebellion, he should be killed. ”
After accepting the piece of paper, Lu Su snorted coldly: "An Shixian, you still don't admit your guilt now?" ”
At this time, An Shixian coughed and looked at An Dongye, An Dongye finally opened his eyes, An Dongye glanced at Lu Su, sneered, and then said in a deep voice: "Do you say that the secret order is the secret order, hmph, I still have the secret order." ”
He reached out and pulled it out of his arms. actually took out the same secret decree as Lu Su, and unfolded it: "The book says that An Shixian, the lord of Mangyuan, has a secret order to monitor the guards of Mangyuan's outer mansion, and he can act cheaply, and if there is a rebellion, he should be killed." Lu Su, Mangyuan City has expelled the barbarians, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, I think you are holding the officials hostage now. If you commit chaos, your heart can be punished! ”
Everyone was surprised, An Shixian's secret decree was almost the same as Lu Su's, but it was just a different name, and they didn't know which one was right.
Lu Su's face changed, but he smiled angrily: "Okay, you An Shixian." Now there is another charge of forging the secret order of the Lord of Shaofu. ”
An Shixian turned his head to look at Ye Seventeen and said, "General Ye." Which one is right and which is wrong? ”
Ye Qiqi sneered in his heart, the secret order in An Shixian's hand was naturally fake, but when did this Lu Su become a person from Qin Wen in the Southern Prison, no matter how he looked at An Shixian, he was going to rebel, and he was extremely shameless in his heart.
But it's a good decision now, after all, An Shixian is the master of the dust pass, and today is just a formality, but Lu Su is about to be killed to sacrifice the flag.
"In the end, I know exactly who is right and who is wrong." Ye Qiqi said hesitantly: "Lord An is famous far and wide, benevolent and generous, it is inevitable that there will be small malicious slander, Lu Su, you are guilty of rebellion, the city lord is tolerant, but I can't spare you." ”
Before his words fell, he had already strode forward, and in an instant, he was in front of Lu Su, and the ground was nothing in the hands of the guards. Although Lu Su also knew Ye Seventeen's prestige, he always felt that it was inevitably untrue to spread falsehoods.
Although he suspected An Shixian of wanting to rebel under the secret order, he didn't expect that he would soon go north to the dust pass, and secretly thought that Liu Fa would go north to the southwest mansion to fight at this time, if the dust pass was taken by these people. Then the tide is over. In a hurry, he recruited dozens of loyal guards, and asked people to transfer troops, just wanting to capture An Shixian's officials, control the situation in Mangyuan City, and postpone this matter for a while. But he never dreamed that under Ye Qiqi's prestige, his martial arts were also so strong, and his heart was awe-inspiring, and he shouted loudly and pulled out his knife to cut it. His sword is powerful, and his martial arts are really not bad, but he didn't expect Ye Qiqi to avoid him with a knife just slightly sideways. Lu Su didn't wait to make another move, he was already grabbed by Ye Qiqi's wrist, but with a twist, Lu Su couldn't bear the strength and turned around.
Ye Qiqi made a move like lightning, grabbed Lu Su's waist in an instant, and with a hey, lifted Lu Su, and then fell, and his knees followed out. only heard a clicking sound, Lu Su screamed, his spine had been broken into two, blood spurted out, the faces of the officials changed drastically, and a few of them were crumbling, and they looked like they were about to faint. Ye Seventeen waved his hand, and Lu Su had already flown out in two, and when all the guards saw Lu Su making a move, they all stepped forward, where did they think that the battle would end so quickly, some people couldn't dodge and were smashed to the ground, seeing that Lu Su was dead, but their eyes were still open, and they all shouted in fear.
Two of them were a little taller, bypassing Lu Su's corpse and slashing at him with a knife. Ye Qiqi had already snatched Lu Su's single knife in his hand, and when he held two knives, he would cut his backhand. He shot violently and quickly, the two of them didn't have time to dodge, they were already cut to the ground by him, some of the guards had stopped, and another person rushed up without knowing whether he was alive or dead, Ye Seventeen roared, and the single knife came out again, with a bang, the man was not in a hurry to dodge, he was cut from the right shoulder to the left rib, half of his body flew out, and he fell to the ground in an instant.
Everyone's hearts were cold, and Lu Su's eyes widened even more, and he couldn't believe it, just for a moment, he was already a dead man.
The guards stopped in shock, and the frightened ones retreated again and again, and some of the timid ones had already vomited. The master on that side had fainted and fell unconscious.
