Chapter Eighty-Three: I Want to Be a Bear But I Can't
As soon as the young general drank like this, the soldiers on the left and right heard the wind and moved, and several people rushed to Lu Xuanming.
Lu Xuanming was still waiting to offer the treasure, and was startled by this sudden mutation, and before he could react, the person was pressed to the ground by a group of soldiers with tigers on their backs.
"Cong'er, what are you doing here?" Cao Bin shouted with a look of surprise.
Cao Cong stepped forward a few steps, pulled Lu Xuanming's arm up, reached into the sleeve, and took out a dagger from it in a blink of an eye.
When Cao Bin saw the dagger hidden in his sleeve, his expression suddenly changed, and his originally kind expression suddenly became gloomy.
Cao Cong pointed to Lu Xuanming on the ground and said: "When this person came in, I felt that he was a little suspicious, and when he reached into his sleeve, I suddenly found that there seemed to be a hard object hidden in his sleeve, but I was afraid that he had bad intentions, so I took him down before I could ask my father for instructions, but I didn't expect him to be an assassin." ā
"My lord, I-"
Lu Xuanming on the ground was shocked, and when he wanted to argue, Cao Cong pretended to be angry and kicked him in the face.
Cao Cong is a person who practices martial arts, and his strength is naturally extremely strong, and when he goes down, he only kicks Lu Xuanming to the ground, and he is dizzy, where does he still have the strength to shout grievances.
Cao Bin took the dagger handed by his son, looked at it a few times, and Fang Shi believed that the Southern Tang Dynasty official in front of him was really an assassin.
His Confucian face swelled with anger, but in the blink of an eye, it was a little more restrained.
Cao Bin stared at Lu Xuanming and said: "I only say that the Southern Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, all of them are cowards like Li Yu, I didn't expect that there would be such a brave person, who dared to come and assassinate me without fear of death, it really made me a little impressed." ā
"Iā"
Lu Xuanming, who was a little sober, was anxious to argue again, but he kicked Cao Cong in the face and kicked him over.
Cao Cong said: "Father, this thief is so bold that he dares to assassinate his father, it is really an unforgivable sin, please pull this thief out immediately and correct the law on the spot." ā
Cao Bin nodded slightly, but sighed again: "This person is quite timid, and he is also a man, so it's a pity to kill him." ā
Cao Cong said: "Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty is in the same place, I am afraid that there are still many people who are unwilling to die in the country, if you don't kill this thief, how can my father suppress those who are ready to move." ā
Cao Bin's expression was slightly dark, and he groaned for a moment, and the murderous aura between his eyebrows suddenly appeared.
Syllable!
Cao Bin slapped the golden dagger on the case and shouted, "Come on, push this assassin out and behead him on the spot, and then hang his head at the Jinling City Gate to set an example." ā
After receiving his father's order, Cao Cong hurriedly ordered his soldiers to escort the dizzy Lu Xuanming away.
In the camp field, Shi Wei had been waiting here for a long time.
After waiting for more than an hour, he finally got his wish and saw Lu Xuanming being tied up by five flowers.
Lu Xuanming, who was dazed, didn't understand what was going on until he was pressed to the ground and the big knife was on his neck.
At this time, Shi Wei was standing directly opposite, looking at him with interest.
When Lu Xuanming saw Shi Wei's mysterious smile, he understood everything in an instant, and it was only at this time that he realized that he had fallen for Shi Wei's scheme.
The country boy who almost died at his hands never forgave him at all, and all the previous things were just to lure him into a trap.
"Shi Wei, you dog-"
Lu Xuanming, who suddenly woke up, wanted to scold when he was about to scold, and the big knife hanging above his head was already roaring down.
Shi Wei didn't want to see the bloody scene, and at the moment of decapitation, he turned away.
There was a crisp "poof", and the bloody human head rolled to the ground.
Shi Wei let out a long breath in his heart, and a thrill of revenge swept through his body, which only made him happy.
After Cao Cong beheaded Lu Xuanming, he ordered the sergeant to take his head and hang it to the head of Jinling City according to Cao Bin's instructions.
Seeing that Cao Cong was busy with business, Shi Wei stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, thank you for your help, after returning to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely invite you to Fanlou to have a good drink." ā
Cao Cong waved his hand and said, "Between you and my brothers, what are you doing with such polite words." ā
He paused, and sighed again: "But this surnamed Lu is obviously a shameless person, and now executing him in this way has made him a hero in the hearts of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is really a bit cheap for him." ā
"Others regard him as a hero, but this surnamed Lu is afraid that he would rather be a bear than a hero."
Shi Wei was sarcastic, and the two laughed.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ A day later, Shi Wei was patrolling the camp to see the wounded soldiers.
At this time, the soldiers came to report, saying that it was a woman surnamed Lu, who was kneeling outside the camp at this time and begging to see Shi Wei.
It must be Lu Yuzhu.
Shi Wei immediately put down what he was doing and rushed towards the camp gate.
When he arrived on horseback, he saw at a glance that on the grass at the camp gate, Lu Yuzhu, dressed in filial piety, was kneeling there.
She looked gloomy and haggard, obviously saddened by her father's affairs.
That pitiful look suddenly made Shi Wei feel pity.
He immediately turned over and dismounted, rushed forward in a few steps, and while helping her, he asked, "Miss Lu, why are you doing this?" ā
Lu Yuzhu couldn't kneel, and only said silently: "Yuzhu implores Lord Shi to promise one thing, if Lord Shi doesn't allow it, Yuzhu would rather kneel and die here." ā
Shi Wei sighed: "I promise you, you get up." ā
Lu Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Yuzhu has not said what he wanted, how can the adult agree." ā
"What more can you ask for than to have your father's body collected and buried?" Shi Wei broke Lu Yuzhu's intention with one word.
Lu Yuzhu stood up at this time, bowed silently, and said quietly: "Then Yuzhu has thanked Master Shi." ā
Looking at her sad look, Shi Wei was relieved: "With all due respect, what Ling Zun did before his death was really despicable, but I really didn't expect that he would dare to assassinate the envoy of the Cao Academy, and he could be regarded as a respectable death." ā
Of course, Shi Wei knew that Lu Xuanming was "tricked" to death by him, but his purpose in doing so was not just to avenge his personal vendetta.
Lu Xuanming was obedient and kneeling, and actually did the thing of selling his daughter for glory, as his daughter, Lu Yuzhu endured endless humiliation.
Shi Wei knew that Lu Yuzhu must be very bitter in his heart, and he must be miserable for having such a shameless father.
And Shi Wei's strategy not only got rid of Lu Xuanming, but also made him die as a "hero", so that Lu Yuzhu could wash away the shame that shrouded her.
Killing her father for her own good may sound a bit ridiculous logically, but the result is just as Shi Wei expected.
At this time, Lu Yuzhu had no previous shame in her expression, obviously her father's death, although she felt sad, but she regained her self-esteem because of this.
Now she can puff up her chest and be an upright person.
Shi Wei considered this, Lu Yuzhu naturally couldn't guess.
When she heard Shi Wei praising her father, she nodded silently and said, "What my father did, I really didn't expect that he would not be burdened with notoriety in his life. ā
After agreeing to Lu Yuzhu, Shi Wei moved his lips to Cao Bin slightly, saying that Lu Xuanming was also a man, so it was better to bury him thickly to appease the hearts of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Cao Bin felt reasonable, so he ordered Lu Xuanming's head to be taken off the city and handed over to his family for burial.
A few days later, Shi Wei accompanied Lu Yuzhu and buried Lu Xuanming in a remote place in the south of Jinling City.
After sighing, Shi Wei helped Lu Yuzhu, who had been kneeling, up and comforted: "People can't be resurrected after death, Miss Lu, you can mourn by the way." ā
Lu Yuzhu bit his red lips tightly, and tears rolled down his cheeks quietly.
Seeing this, Shi Wei stretched out his hand and gently wiped away her tears.
With such gentle comfort, Lu Yuzhu's face suddenly flushed a little.
Shi Wei asked, "Miss Lu, I don't know what your plans are in the future." ā
"Daddy is gone, I'm alone, and I don't know what to do." Lu Yuzhu sighed faintly.
Shi Wei didn't think about it, and immediately said: "If you are not afraid of hardship, Miss Lu, you can go back to Bianjing with me in the future, although I Shi Wei has no ability, I will do my best to take good care of you." ā
Lu Yuzhu's body shook slightly, raised his head, looked at Shi Wei's sincere eyes, and couldn't help but be a little moved, but between his eyebrows, he was a little shy.
"Lord Shi has a noble status, but I am such an identity, I am only afraid that it will damage Lord Shi's reputation at that time." Lu Yuzhu said embarrassedly.
Naturally, she was referring to her father as an Assassin, and although she was not implicated, she nominally carried the reputation of an "Assassin's daughter".
With a "guilty body" like her, if she follows Shi Wei, she is naturally afraid of affecting Shi Wei's reputation.
Shi Wei laughed and said disapprerovitically: "What is not famous, it is all something outside the body, as long as I Shi Wei likes it, I will have to pay attention to what others will say." ā
"Ishida......
Lu Yuzhu was moved when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but be filled with tears again, but this time it was not sad and tired, but tears of joy.
couldn't help herself, and she suddenly threw herself into Shi Wei's arms.
The wind blows in the mountains, the paper money in the sky is flying around, and the surrounding environment is a little weird.
Shi Wei hugged her tightly and caressed her smooth and slender body.
He stood like this, facing Lu Xuanming's grave, and the word "loyalty" was engraved on the tombstone in front of the grave.
Looking at the newly carved tombstone in front of the grave, Shi Wei seemed to be able to see the angry Lu Xuanming, who wanted to crawl out of the grave, grinning at him, roaring and scolding.
Shi Wei secretly said in his heart: Lu Xuanming, I can make you a hero in the hearts of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and you should thank me for dying a glorious death.
The grievances between you and me have been written off like this, don't worry, I will take good care of your daughter, you just hurry to reincarnate, remember, don't hurt people again in the next life, especially doctors......
