Chapter 44: Determination and Anxiety
In the room, the atmosphere of being happy, hello, hello, everyone, with Wang Lintian's words, suddenly became tense and cold, and the whole room was as silent as death except for the pounding heartbeat.
Wang Lintian peeked around him, except for the two main masters of Xing Xuan and Wang Weld, the five hall masters, and more than 20 strong and fierce thugs who came over at some point, all of them were carrying knives, and six of them were also holding a small crossbow in their hands, and in such a short distance, they couldn't hide at all. These people all looked fierce now, but what made Wang Lintian jealous the most was the silent and calm young man standing behind Xing Wei.
He knew that this young man was the number one master and the only master under Xing Wei, called Wei Qing. It is said that a strong bow that can hold four stones, more than 200 steps within a hundred shots, in addition to being a master with a sword, was once the first master of the rangers in Chang'an Guan, for some reason was besieged and seriously injured, and was finally rescued by Xing Wei, and since then he has been loyal to protect Xing Wei's safety.
It can be said that most of Xing Wei's world was beaten down by this Wei Qing, and this kind of experience and skills were more than enough to be a deputy gang leader, but he was only willing to be Xing Wei's bodyguard. Only Wei Qing is alone, and the ten of them can't please him.
Xing Wei looked at Wang Lintian and Ge Chun gloomily for a long time, and then squeezed out a smile: "What did Wang Qilang say, you and I have been friends for so many years, how can I harm you?" To tell the truth, this time he and Wang Shiyi Lang are just going to send you a great fortune! It depends on whether you want it or not? ”
Wang Lintian was silent, but the cold sweat couldn't help but come out, and instantly wet the ** middle single inside, and a cold air rose from the soles of his feet and spread all over his body, and the whole person was like being in an ice cellar. Obediently, listen to the meaning of this, this is to rebel and make a rebellion!
He is not a fool, he understands the truth that there is no free lunch in the world, but he always thinks that it is because their career is too big, and they want to make good connections and seek protection or something, and the other is to help them arrange for some people to hang their names in the Longwu Forbidden Army to escape conscription. But he never thought that this Xing Wei was actually the one who wanted to use the power of the Longwu Forbidden Army to kill officials and rebel! This is a great crime of killing the head and exterminating the clan!
This Xing Wei is not crazy, there are nearly 30,000 forbidden troops in Chang'an City, even if there are nearly 20,000 people who eat empty salaries, although the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya exist in name only, but the Jin Wuwei shelf is still there, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses. In addition, there are more than 2,000 Wuhou officials in the two counties of Chang'an Wannian, and there are more than 2,000 gangsters in their axe gang, plus themselves and Ge Chun, and maybe they also won over Cao Yu, and the three 10,000 horsemen Guoyi want to kill officials and rebel, it's just a pipe dream!
Ge Chun was also frightened, and hesitated: "What does the Xing Gang want us to do?" You can't do anything about this rebellion! ”
Xing Wei slapped the table lightly: "How dare we do such a rebellious thing, we are traitors for the country, Qingjun!" That Li Genu did not learn and did not know how to do it, and he was a white-character prime minister, but he controlled the government for 19 years, and framed Zhongliang with a honey-bellied sword, so that the government was not in order, and hundreds of people were displaced; That Yang Guozhong was born as a gangster, only relying on the relationship of the concubine to steal a high position, and the 60,000 troops of Nanzhao annihilated him, but he covered up his defeat and turned it into victory, deceived the emperor, and really deserved to be killed; There is also Chen Xilie, who is cowardly and incompetent, and can only echo Li Linfu but is on the left. A certain and Wang Shiyi Lang always feel painful every time they think about this, this time they want to use the power of the two to raise troops to kill the three national thieves, and Kuang Fu Sheji to revitalize the dynasty! ”
His words were righteous and strict, and Li Linfu wrote two white characters without learning and without skills, and Yang Guozhong deceived the emperor, and Chen Xilie was cowardly and incompetent, but the ten Longwu forbidden soldiers all understood, this is thinking of the rebellion.
According to Wang Lintian's temper, they couldn't wait to jump up immediately, hit Xing Wei ten times in the mouth, and then grab them and dedicate them to the emperor to invite merit! If you want to rebel, you just say that you want to rebel, what are you doing with so many high-sounding words? Phew! Just like you, you are a gangster who started by collecting protection money from women, a villain who bullies men and women all day long, and tells Lao Tzu what to worry about the country and the people, and Kuang Fu Sheji to revitalize the dynasty. You don't touch your chest either, are you sorry? If you open your eyes and talk nonsense like this, you won't be afraid that God will thunder and smash you!
However, now that the situation is stronger than people, they only nodded stupidly, but they really couldn't say anything in agreement, and waited silently for Xing Wei's next words.
But to be honest, this cannot be said that Xing Ji is shameless, whether it is really Kuang Fu Sheji or the rebellion, it needs a plausible name or excuse, no way, the Chinese pay attention to this. The saying that if the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, it will not be done, this saying that has been propagated for more than 1,000 years has already been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts. Moreover, generally speaking, if you want to kill a general, the ready-made name is that he wants to rebel; The best excuse to get rid of civil officials is to clear the king's side!
Seeing that the two Guo Yi didn't speak, Wang Jian on the side began to coerce and lure: "After the matter is completed, we will make a proposal to Your Majesty to let my seventh brother Wang Ji be the right minister, and lead the hundred officials to refresh the dynasty, I and the Xing gang leader are General Longwu and General Yulin, you are General Longwu and General Yulin, and those who are willing to act with us will be rewarded, and even the third level will be at least, and when the time comes, the treasury will be opened, as long as you can take it, it will be yours!" ”
He thought very well, let Wang Ji be the nominal prime minister, he and Xing Wei would control the two forbidden armies, let Li Longji be their puppet, and when the time was ripe, he would kill Li Longji and become the emperor himself.
The two Wanqi Guoyi and the eight Longwu Forbidden Army still didn't speak, no matter how good the promise was, they had to succeed, they were not optimistic about Xing Wei and Wang Weld.
Seeing that they were unmoved, Wang Jiang began to threaten: "After listening to such secrets as I waited, if you don't want to follow us to eliminate the evil spirits, there will only be a few wronged people, not only will you die now, but your family will also die with you, you see!" ”
He clapped his hands gently, and a henchman handed over a small box from behind him, Wang Zhu took it and put it on the table, and opened it. But it is three longevity locks, seven or eight kinds of jewelry, and five jade pendants, all of which are personal objects for children and women of some rich and noble families.
Ge Chun and Wang Lintian suddenly gritted their teeth, and said angrily with red eyes: "Gang Master Xing, you ......"
"What did you do to them?" The two immediately recognized that the contents of the box were the things worn by their son, wife, and mother, and that the three longevity locks and a few pieces of jewelry were given to them by Xing Wei.
Wang Jian sneered: "They are all very good, they are all living well at home, but if you don't agree, I can guarantee that none of them will see the sunset tonight!" ”
"How do you do that?" Wang Lintian was angry in the color path.
Xing Weiyin smiled: "I'll tell you the truth, as early as a year ago, I arranged a lot of eyeliner in your house, and your domestic servants, maids, grooms, and florists all have our people, as well as our people in the two outer rooms you keep outside." And now we have more than 100 people in ambush outside these houses, trying to kill them, which is a matter of words. ”
"Okay, I'm blind, it turns out that you started beating us more than a year ago."
"As long as you promise to cooperate with us, they will be fine, and not only can you get two such good houses, a few top beauties in Pingkangfang, you can also get great wealth, even in the future, it is not impossible for one party to be able to save money in the future."
Ge Chun ran out of ideas for a while, Wang Lintian was quite calm, knowing that it was too late to regret it now, and he could only take one step at a time: "What do you want us to do?" ”
Wang Weld and Xing Wei looked at each other and smiled, and said softly: "It's simple, as long as you kill Longwu General Chen Xuanli and Yulin General Han Xiumin tomorrow, and capture the Longwu Forbidden Army and Yulin Army." Then lead the troops to Huaqing Palace to kill Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, and Chen Xilie, the three national thieves, and leave the rest to us. ”
"Day or night?"
"White Sun."
"How can this be done?"
Wang Weld began to follow the temptation: "How can you not succeed?" You are under the command of General Longwu, he will definitely not suspect you, just say that there is something to report and then suddenly attack, then Chen Xuanli is already old, and he has no defense against you, so he will definitely hit you with one blow. And we also have helpers to lend to you, this Wei Qing has the courage of ten thousand people, let him pretend to be your personal soldier, so many nominal ten thousand horses, can he Chen Xuanli still know everyone? With Wei Qing's strength alone, it is enough to kill Chen Xuanli, plus these two masters, it can be said that it is foolproof to solve Chen Xuanli's guards! ”
"What about the Yulin Army, what about it?"
Wang Weld boasted: "It's easy to do, after killing Chen Xuanli, take control of the Longwu Forbidden Army, and then send people into the Yulin Army camp to lure Han Xiumin, the general of Yulin, out of the ...... of attacking and killing."
Wang Lintian heard it in a cold sweat, killing officials and rebelling is a big thing, how to get to his mouth is this one is simple, which one is easy to do, as if it was child's play. Chen Xuanli is a cautious person, not to mention that he can't kill him, even if Chen Xuanli is really killed, it is not certain whether those ten thousand knights will rebel with him.
Although the emperor has not been in charge of the government much in recent years, and has enjoyed some extravagance, he still attaches great importance to his own safety, and is very generous to the two forbidden armies and the inner flying dragon soldiers. And most of these forbidden troops are sons of good families, and they are loyal to Li Tang by the grace of the country, how can this nameless and righteous person be willing to rebel with him. I am afraid that as soon as my words come out, those soldiers under my command will rebel and arrest themselves and sacrifice themselves to the emperor.
Ge Chun thought relatively simply, he also knew that it was difficult to rebel, but he thought that his mother, wife, son and his own life were all in the hands of the other party, so he could only follow them forward, maybe there was a glimmer of life, so he kept comforting himself and deceiving himself, hoping that it could really be as Wang Shai said. But he was still not very relieved, and couldn't help but speak: "Can this work?" ”
Wang Weld said proudly: "How could it not work!" The current emperor also acted like this back then, when he was the queen of Xuwei, there were only more than 30 people around him, and the three Wanqi Guoyi were the internal responses, and we now have more than 1,000 people. He has a master bodyguard Li Yide, and we have Wei Qing, who can open a four-stone bow no worse than Li Yide; During the congenital coup, the emperor also only brought 300 people to the Yulin camp, tricked the left and right Yulin generals out and killed them, and then took over the Yulin army. We took 10,000 horsemen and 10,000 horses, and it is not a matter of words to trap and kill General Yulin, and to take over the Yulin Army. ”
As soon as he said this assumed word, Ge Chun couldn't help but nod, hoping that everything would really go well as Wang Jian said. In this way, not only can you get such a good house, but you can also get ahead and soar to the sky!
But what Wang Lintian thought was that Wang Jian said it so frivolously, there was absolutely no possibility of success in this matter, and there was no possibility at all. If you follow them, you will not only die, but you may also be exterminated! Thinking about it this way, Wang Lintian didn't care much about the threat of Wang Weld and Xing Wei.
Anyway, it's all death, and to rebel with you idiots is to die together with hundreds of people of the three clans, which is the most stupid choice; On the contrary, they may die themselves, and some of their family members may die, but those who survive will receive special preferential treatment from the emperor. Choosing between one or the other, you can make a choice almost without thinking.
At this moment, Wang Lintian has already made his own decision, but he is used to living a comfortable life, his wife and concubine are beautiful, his son and daughter are well-behaved and cute, and his wife is loving. Even if you make a decision, how can you bear it! It's just that now that his family and his own lives are in the hands of the other party, especially Wei Qing and several other masters who follow him, what can he do to minimize the harm? Wang Lintian looked suspicious and approving on the surface, but his heart suddenly fell into extreme anxiety.
