Chapter 805: A Man's Heart and a Women's Heart
Wang Fubao looked at Wang Qunlu in front of him, his eyes full of shock and anger. He really couldn't imagine that the person who stabbed himself would be this pro-soldier captain who had been with him for several years. A general who has led troops on the battlefield for many years must have thought more than once about how he would die.
Shot into a hedgehog by random arrows.
Chopped into meat puree with a knife.
His head was cut off and hung on the flagpole for public display.
Crushed into a puddle of flesh by the four hooves of a war horse.
was stabbed through the lower abdomen, and the internal organs flowed down and hung on his body.
He was even tortured in every way after being captured alive by the enemy, skinning and cramping.
But Wang Fubao really never thought that he would die under the knife of his own people. He never imagined that the people around him would betray him. Although he has seen too many betrayals over the years, he has never doubted the loyalty of those around him. Because he knows how to be kind to the people around him, he is not a kind person. On the battlefield, he has saved the lives of his cronies countless times.
"Why did you betray me!"
He grabbed the front of Wang Qunlu's clothes, and the anger in his eyes was as palpitating as a rising flame.
"Betrayal...... It's a really bad word, you might be able to change it, like ...... Choose? ”
Wang Qunlu broke free of Wang Fubao's arm and took a step back, although he could pretend to be indifferent, his hands were still trembling involuntarily. Although killing Wang Fubao was something that Wang Yan had discussed with him before, he still couldn't do it when it was really implemented. After all, for so many years, he has always played the role of loyalty to Wang Fubao.
"Choose?"
Wang Fubao fell down softly and sat on the ground, he glanced at the horizontal knife still inserted in his chest, and the blood did not flow much, but Wang Fubao knew that as long as the horizontal knife was drawn out of his chest, the blood would spurt out like a waterfall. Wang Qunlu's knife was slightly biased because he was afraid, and it didn't hit the heart. But Wang Fubao knew very well that as long as the knife was drawn, it wouldn't take long to bleed and let him die gradually.
He sat on the ground and looked down at the horizontal knife on his chest: "Your choice is to kill me?" What kind of promise did they give you, that you could do such a devastating thing? ”
"Heaven and earth are destroyed?"
Wang Yan suddenly laughed, he walked to Wang Fubao and squatted down, looked at the stepfather who raised him, and asked word by word: "Then you are against Dou Jiande, should there also be an ending of heaven and earth?" Father...... The world has become like this, why are you still such a simple idiot? ”
He said with a smile: "People who can't understand the way of this world are destined to be eliminated." ”
"You killed me...... Aren't you afraid that my men will kill you? ”
Wang Fubao raised his head and looked at Wang Yan, but the hatred in his eyes gradually became indifferent: "I know that you have to be strong since you were a child, and your heart is cold and hard enough." But I still didn't expect your heart to harden to this point...... Tell me when you first wanted to kill me, and when you colluded with these people. ”
"It's simple, my father."
Wang Yan pointed at Pei Lian, and then pointed at Chen Zheng: "When I colluded with them, I naturally thought of killing you." This is an inseparable thing, and after knowing people like them, I realized that I was really too weak before. They taught me what kind of person I need to be in order to gain a foothold in this world and become a human being. ”
"When I sent you back to Zhaozhou to recuperate?"
Wang Fubao asked.
"yes...... You ignored me after you sent me back to Zhaozhou, if it weren't for my own cleverness, I'm afraid I would have died more than once. At that time, many officials came to the house to ask me about your rebellion, and it was at that time that Master Pei and they began to approach me...... You know father, people like them always have a premonition of a crisis and then pave the way for themselves before it comes. ”
"No wonder ......"
Wang Fubao nodded, turned to look at Wang Qunlu: "What about you?" What do you get? ”
"Major General...... The major general promised me a large sum of money and allowed me to go home and reunite with my relatives. I'm tired of this damn war...... I don't know if I'll die tomorrow, I don't know if I'll have a chance to see my loved ones, I've had enough...... I want to go home! My son is five years old, but I haven't held him yet! ”
When he said this, Wang Qunlu became more and more excited: "I don't want to fight!" ”
"I don't want to."
Wang Fubao smiled: "But I didn't expect you to kill me because of this, why didn't you tell me?" As long as you say it, how can I not let you go back? ”
"Because that's more than that."
Wang Roar walked to Wang Qunlu's side with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "He really wants to go home and reunite with his mother and children, but he wants to return to his hometown even more." The identity of a founding prince, a large sum of money, the military position of a champion general, and a gold medal for avoiding death...... Can you give him these? ”
"Idiot!"
Wang Fubao smiled bitterly and shook his head and said to Wang Qunlu: "Gold medal for avoiding death...... How can you believe this, you killed me...... If they don't push you out, how can they appease my generals? ”
"Look, I'll just say that my father is so smart, if you didn't do it, it would have been extremely difficult to succeed."
Wang roared and laughed, suddenly poked the dagger into Wang Qunlu's heart, and then twisted it a few times: "Say it again...... It is always better for a few people to know about my disobedience and murder of my father. But don't worry, I won't go back on what I have promised you. I will send someone to tell your family that you died fighting to protect the general. I'll give your family a lot of money so they'll be grateful to me...... Isn't it? ”
"No way!"
Chen Zheng took a step forward and said loudly: "If you do this, who will take the blame!" ”
……
……
Chen Zheng said angrily: "The matter that has been discussed before, how can you temporarily change the hexagram?" If you turn him into a loyal person, then who will bear the sin of killing Wang Fubao? There are at least dozens of generals who are loyal to Wang Fubao outside, if they oppose anyone, who will subdue them! ”
"You!"
The voice came from behind Chen Zheng, not Wang Roar in front of him.
With a pop, a dagger stabbed into Chen Zheng's heart, and the knife was all submerged in his body, and Chen Zheng even felt the cold blade writhing back and forth in his heart. He turned around with difficulty, and saw Pei Ju's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. For the first time, Chen Zheng found that Pei Lian's laughter was so terrible.
"It's the first time I've killed someone myself, and it doesn't feel very good."
Pei Ju took a step back, but did not avoid the slightly hot blood spurting out of Chen Zheng's body. He looked at his hands, and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "What a helpless thing it is for literati to kill people with their own hands. ”
"For ...... Why? ”
Chen Zheng's body slowly fell, and he looked at Pei Lian's eyes unwillingly.
"Wang Qunlu is Wang Fubao's personal lieutenant, there is no reason to assassinate him suddenly, right? Even if you say it, few people will believe that Wang Qunlu has been with Wang Fubao for so many years, and there are always many suspicious things when he suddenly starts. But you're different...... We can say that you are Dou Jiande's loyal courtier, who pretended to surrender in order to avenge Dou Jiande, and then took the opportunity to assassinate General Wang Fubao. ”
"This story is more believable."
Pei Ju took out a white cloth handkerchief from his arms and wiped the blood stains on his hands: "You have to find a weighty person in the court of Great Xia to bear this big sin, since you want to lie, you must always be serious." You are the secretary of the military department...... Barely enough. ”
Wang Yan smiled and sat down beside Wang Fubao: "Father, you don't know how much I have suffered in the city of Zhaozhou, and how many means those miscellaneous people of the Criminal Department have used against me. And the slut of Queen Cao, those dog things in the criminal department were all instructed by her, and from that moment on, I swore to take revenge, I want to let that slut die without a place to be buried! And before doing this, it is natural to kill the emperor of Great Xia first. ”
"But with my ability, it is obviously impossible to rebel. Fortunately...... And you, my most respected father, should really say thank you to you. ”
Wang Fubao sneered, looked at Wang Qunlu, who died before him, and said, "You really did a good job of taking advantage of people's ambitions...... But you are in such a hurry to jump out, don't you think about what you will do in the future? Whoever is the emperor will be killed in front of the people of the Tang Dynasty...... With your current strength, can you stop Yan Wang Li Xian? ”
"It's nothing, it's a big deal to retreat to Zhuo County."
Wang roared and said: "Father, the Boling Cui clan is rich and rivals the country, I only need to take the troops on a trip, and there is no shortage of food, grass, money, and anything." Zhuojun is empty now, as long as I take Zhuojun, the north can go out of Saibei, and the east can go to Liaoxi, even if Li Xian is strong, what can he do? Just give me three or five years, and I can snatch Hebei back! ”
"The Emperor...... A manly man, since he was born in troubled times, even if he is an emperor for a day, it is excellent. This sentence...... Father shouldn't forget, right? ”
"Good...... Very good. ”
Wang Fubao sneered, raised his hand and pointed at Wang Yan's face and said, "I didn't expect that I also raised a vicious wolf with such great ambitions...... But it's okay, today the red line is dead, and I'm going to chase her. It's just that...... You have to see clearly, today I am against Dou Jiande, and you are against me...... Will no one turn against you in the future? ”
Wang Yan's face changed, and he subconsciously looked at Pei Ju behind him.
This glance frightened Pei Ju back two steps in a row.
But soon, Wang Yan smiled and said, "Father, I know what you mean by saying this, you want me and Master Pei to be estranged and suspicious of each other, right?" But you still underestimate the solidity of the relationship between me and Master Pei, there is no affection between us, only interests...... He needs me, I need him, so ...... On the contrary, it is more reliable than a relationship with emotional bonds. ”
"Haha!"
Wang Fubao laughed loudly, moved his body with difficulty, and said in a very low voice near Wang Yan's ear: "What do you think? Could it be that he thinks the same way? Man...... Since he was born in troubled times, it is excellent to be an emperor even for one day...... Fabulous. ”
After saying this, he jerked out the horizontal knife in his chest.
The slightly hot blood spurted out at once, splashing Wang roaring all over his face.
And Wang Fubao's words never dispersed in his ears for a long time.
……
……
"Your Majesty...... Where is this? ”
"This is Fanghua Palace."
Dou Jiande glanced at the corpses on the ground, and urgently ordered: "You guys quickly change into the clothes of these rebels, I can't say that anyone will search here for a while...... The three gates of Beicheng are all people who Xiahou refuses to let me, and I really can't imagine that those thieves have already taken refuge in Wang Fubao. ”
Changing into a rebel shirt, Dou Jiande slowly walked into the Fanghua Palace. When he saw the beautiful woman in the city, the clothes on her body were torn apart, but her face was still calm, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
"If it weren't for my timely arrival, I am afraid that you will be humiliated by those lowly rebels today!"
Empress Cao followed behind Dou Jiande and walked past this woman she once hated extremely much, but at this time, where did she still have the heart to care about the previous things. She didn't even look at Xiao Yizhen, she walked in quickly and found a cup of tea and poured it into her mouth.
Zhang Wancheng, who was hiding in the secret passage, breathed a long sigh of relief, glad that she didn't have the impulse to break out to save Xiao Yizhen. She is the person who can't see this kind of thing, if it weren't for Dou Jiande and the others who happened to be here, she would have already killed them at this time.
"Your Majesty does not seem safe to flee to me."
Xiao Yizhen glanced at Dou Jiande and said in a cold tone.
"I'll rest for a while and leave, change into the clothes of the rebels, there's always a chance to get out."
"yes......"
Xiao Yizhen suddenly smiled, and glanced at Empress Xiao meaningfully: "Smear some blood on your face, Your Majesty will shave off your beard again, and put on the clothes of the rebels There is indeed a great chance to get out, Your Majesty still has these dozen loyal guards by his side, and the chance of escaping from Zhaozhou alive is not very small...... It's just that I can't go with His Majesty. ”
These words touched the softness of Dou Jiande's heart, and he replied almost without thinking about it: "Don't worry, if I go out, I will definitely find a way to take you with me." ”
"Not really."
Xiao Yizhen looked at Empress Cao, smiled and said: "I am a woman, even if a woman dresses as a man, it is still very easy to be discovered, Your Majesty should know very well...... Taking a woman out of the palace is tantamount to asking for a dead end. Your Majesty, how could you give up your life in vain because of a little woman like me? ”
Her lips opened and closed lightly, her voice was pleasant, and her eyes did not look at Dou Jiande but always stared at Queen Cao: "I envy Queen Cao, who can live and die with Your Majesty, and never give up!" ”
In an instant, Empress Cao's face turned as white as paper.
Zhang Wancheng's face also changed when he was hiding in the secret passage, and he couldn't help but sigh.
