Chapter 455: Death
The old eunuch died, and he died in the mouth of the Gu worm that he raised himself, and the misery could not be described at all.
Xie Shence didn't kill the Gu worm, but caught it out and continued to imprison it in the jar.
The old eunuch was not insignificant, but he finally died under his own naivety.
Yes, naΓ―ve.
He may be more powerful than Xiao Wang, but in some places, he is an out-and-out stupid thirteen.
Don't fight hard when it's time to fight, and there's a lot of nonsense when it's time to run. According to Xie Shence's analysis, this kind of person is probably a physical defect, which eventually led to the lack of a piece of his brain.
- Although there is no necessary connection between the two.
Excessive self-confidence This self-confidence comes from being trapped in the deep palace for many years, working hard, reaching the peak of the personal field, but ignoring the scenery of other mountains.
"Sitting in a well and watching the sky is tantamount to putting a noose around your neck. When you come out, strangle yourself."
Of course, such speculation does not serve as an explanation.
Xie Shence was curious as to why he was able to quickly disappear after shooting an arrow that day, but he was extremely sluggish in yesterday's battle, and as for missing the opportunity to escape, he was entangled in the hook net laid by Xie Shence.
The old eunuch died, and Xiao Wang fled. Xie Shence traced for a long time and found the hole dug by the old eunuch, and Xiao Wang was not in it.
Caiyi's body could not survive for a long time, so Xie Shence chose to be cremated.
However, before the cremation, a piece of news made Xie Shence almost unconscious.
Caiyi is pregnant, and it's been a month.
-- It's just that the fetus is stillborn.
Xie Shence finally gritted his teeth and cremated Caiyi and the child who died before it was formed.
Wang Jiehua held the ashes of the colorful clothes, a little sad.
"She never said she was pregnant. I retched a few times before, but she just said that I was not used to the soil, and I didn't even think much about it. Scold...... I'm afraid she's not sure if she's pregnant. β
Perhaps, she knew it. But I was afraid that giving birth to this child would hurt me, so I didn't dare to say it. But how long can this kind of thing be hidden? Just like I hid it from you at the beginning, I couldn't hide it in the end, so she died like this, maybe it might still be a good thing for her. β
"But what about me? Going to feel guilty for the rest of your life? After all, if she knew and said it, she was the one who needed to be taken care of, and Jasmine wouldn't let her take it. She's not going to die."
Xie Shence didn't listen to Wang Jiehua say this. The open and secret battles between wives and concubines in the backyard are almost invisible in the Xie family. However, just because there is no such thing does not mean that no one thinks about it. In contrast, behind the peace of the Xie family is the difficult and selfless dedication of many people.
Fight for it, can it not be chaotic?
is indisputable, is the price paid too great?
It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs. A bunch of women are noisy and noisy, and no one can stand it. It's not a good thing to have only two women, who think too much about each other and have too many scruples.
Xie Shence had a mess in his head, he didn't know what to say, he didn't comfort Wang Jiehua, and he didn't say anything for Caiyi.
After a long time, when Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Ye'er timidly came in and said that everything was ready, was it okay to go, Xie Shence got up.
Wang Jiehua felt that when Xie Shence stood up, his whole person changed.
"Nobody waits for you to be ready. Because life and death and glory, or face, are not things that can calm people. The madness created by obsession is the strongest force in the world. β
"My old wisdom is to eliminate threats in infancy. Only those who kill the threat to death can be considered to have the threat removed. Only a dead enemy is a good enemy. I'm not alone. β
"The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, and the birds are good and the bow is hidden. It's ironic that I subconsciously ignored the aphorism that has been accumulated for 5,000 years."
After Xie Shence finished speaking, he took the ashes in Wang Jiehua's hand, helped her up, and said with a smile: "From today on, are you willing to follow me and be the enemy of everyone?" β
Wang Xie Hua looked at Xie Shence in a daze, did not wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and cheeks, smiled, and said, "Yes." β
Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Ye'er looked at Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua, not understanding the meaning of these words. But they never felt that the young lady and the aunt were so compatible.
- Even if they always thought that the young lady and the aunt were a match made in heaven.
Walking out of the room hand in hand, Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua got into a carriage.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, the Xie family's old house did a ritual that was not known to outsiders.
Subsequently, Xie Shence once again submitted his resignation to Emperor Jin, and he wanted to resign from the post of Admiral of the Tiqi Division.
This time, the reaction in the court was even more intense. It didn't take long for Emperor Jin to approve this request.
As a result, Lord Admiral, who had disappeared for several years in the eyes of some people, was pushed back onto the cusp. Whether it is a high-ranking official or a short brown leader, they all lamented that the Xie family is no longer majestic, and Xie Shence's killing karma will finally be retributed.
By the way, some people mentioned Xie Yi, who was also slaughtered.
"Why hasn't this person been punished for slaughter?"
No one remembers the identity of the dean of the Xie Shence Discipline Academy, except for the current class of interns, except for some instructors, no one in the lecture hall has seen Xie Shence. And the number of times Xie Shence is mentioned, it seems that he can only count on his hands.
After Xie Shence's resignation, Zhou Jinmian unexpectedly did not succeed.
The new commander of the Tiqi Division is Wen Chong.
That is, the chief staff of the Qi Palace.
This came as a surprise to many, especially some of the Tyrants.
Of course, the internal surprise and panic are not known to outsiders. However, in the court, there were a lot of waves.
Wen Chong this person, not many people paid attention to it before, although the chief staff of the Qi Palace, although he must be a very capable person, but compared with ability, what people value more is the status of the King of Qi he represents, and the significance of this status and identity to that chair. Therefore, many people have great respect for him, but they have always lacked respect.
Today, this is not the case.
For various reasons, the children of the clan have never had a precedent of interfering in the Tiqi, and the King of Qi naturally cannot be the commander of the Tiqi. So the chief staff of the Qi Palace, becoming the commander of the Tiqi Division, does it mean that this unspoken rule has been broken?
Xie Shence served as the commander of the Tiqi Division, how much bloody rain did he set off?
The Xie family and the Wang family were already powerful, but after Xie Shence became the commander of the Tiqi Division by mistake, how much did they take advantage of the situation to grow? How many political enemies, in the invisible night, have become the ghosts of the horses? How many people who could have been innocent have become dead souls under the butcher's knife that Ti Qi would rather kill wrong?
Just look at the power of Xie Shence over the years.
Fighting Sima Bi, defeating the bandits of Taihang Mountain, breaking the World Alliance, forcing Zheng Keming to death, insulting Zhao Hongtai and thanking Shence step by step, he became the biggest minister in the Great Jin Kingdom who was not in the officialdom.
Although this kind of power comes from the Tiqi Division and was given by Emperor Jin, it is also power, and it is a power that others cannot envy.
Today, Wen Chong has become the Admiral of the Tiqi Division. Will it be the same as Xie Shence back then?
It has to lead people to reverie.
King Qi should be like a tiger with wings, Wen Chong is self-reliant?
Nobody knows. Because after Wen Chong was announced as the commander of the Tiqi Division, he never returned to the Qi Palace.
Of course, I haven't replied, but there are two extremes. Seamless and strange.
However, either one, as mentioned above, makes people have infinite reverie.
Xie Shence was in Yangzhou City and waited for the will of Emperor Jin.
So, Xie Shence said with a smile: "When should I resign from the position of the Discipline Academy?" β
Wang Jiehua smiled: "On the contrary, I can't resign." β
Xie Shence nodded and said, "Well, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious." Then when the first snow falls, we leave. β
Wang Jiehua pillowed her head on Xie Shence's back and said, "Does Jasmine have to send her away first?" β
"I can't bear it."
Xie Shence held Wang Jiehua's hand around his waist and said, "Senior Brother is here, there will be no danger." It's only been a few months. β
Wang Jiehua was reluctant to let go of her hand and said, "Grandmother her"
Xie Shence sighed and said, "After knowing about Caiyi, she couldn't hold on. β
At the end of September, Xie Shence sent Lao Taijun to Jindu, and in mid-October, Lao Taijun died.
In mid-November, the first snow fell in Jindu.
The Xie family gathered in Nianguan, and the party organized by Xie Chengcai was extremely lively. A carriage drove out of Yangzhou City without alerting the officers guarding the city.
At the end of the year, the distribution of goods is the most intensive, at this time, the entry and exit of horse-drawn carriages is not worth mentioning compared to the entry and exit of bulk goods.
In the first month of the fourteenth year of Zhenglong, several major events occurred in the capital of Jin.
One is the incident of Tiqi injuring people, which officially pushed Wen Chong, the commander of the Tiqi Division, who had just been in office for a few months, in front of everyone.
Wen Chong withstood the pressure and handled the matter very beautifully, although he suffered a lot of criticism, but the people of Jindu had a lot of good feelings about the new Commander of the Tiqi Division.
Because of this, many people's disgust with Xie Shence has come up again. Of course, there are many people here, not including the girls who have already regarded the spring outing to Yangzhou City as a festival.
Another thing is that there were some conflicts between the crown prince and the five princes. The princess of the fifth prince, that is, the princess of the Xianbei Tuoba Department, was extremely arrogant, because of a trivial incident that injured the prince's relatives, the prince did not pursue it. The five princes took the opportunity to make trouble and humiliated the crown prince in a public occasion.
Although the crown prince still has a bright moon shining on the river, the people of Jindu have some agreement with the statement that Emperor Jin wants to set up another prince. Forbearance or Tao Hui, whether it is or not, is incomprehensible and despisable until the ending is determined.
Wen Chong is improving the image of the Ti Cavalry. So indirectly, what he did in the palace of the king of Qi was dug up by someone with a heart - this is not a secret, as long as it is properly guided, the goal can be achieved.
Wen Chong's image has been improved, so King Qi's image has also become better as Wen Chong's lord.
King Qi is already known as a virtuous person, and he has also made a lot of contributions in the wars between the Great Jin and foreign countries in the past few years, plus the current promotion, so he has become the person with the highest voice to inherit that chair.
The envoys who came to the court met with the ministers of the Jin kingdom as usual. According to their own circumstances, there must be a difference between relatives and relatives.
Some people found that whether it was the envoy of the Qin State, or the envoy of the Song State, or the envoy of the Yan State, or even the envoys of the Xianbei tribes, there were Xie family members at their banquets.
Xie Yi or Xie Shang, maybe Xie Shang is still inconspicuous at the banquet, but in connection with the changes in recent years, some people can easily find that although the influence of the Xie family is not as good as before, it is still there.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Xie family is the Xie family after all. With Xie Yi and Xie Shang here, although the Xie family has fallen half a step, it is still a gate valve.
The Xie family also has countless supporters. From a few decades ago to the present, mutual benefit has long been inextricably linked, and cannot be measured simply by being connected or severed.
In the first month, it is not that no one took the opportunity to provoke the Xie family, but Xie Yi was still tough, and Xie Shang was like a breeze - people almost didn't notice it, and the two of them were strong and soft, and they actually defused almost all the offensives.
Some people find that they seem to be sitting on some things after a long time, and they can take them out to show off, but it doesn't seem to work.
The Xie family is still full of distinguished guests, and laughter and laughter still ring from time to time.
After the first month, there was a news in Jindu that Xie Shenwei was coming back.
It's like someone falls asleep, is woken up in a daze, and then continues to sleep, not many people care about this.
Come back, so what?
Jindu is no longer the Jindu of the past, and the Xie family is not the Xie family of the past, you are back, can you turn the sky upside down?
Few people think about thanking God anymore.
Except for some girls in Jindu
On the official road, neat big locust trees stand in rows. In an inn in Shanxi Province, some people were shouting at five to drink six, and when the five big and three rough men were drinking, they took off their jackets, exposed their sweaty linings, and held a large bowl of wine. Some people even drink from jars.
On the first floor of the entire inn, only the two people in the corner are a little different.
The reason why it is different is because these two people are not strong, and they have not taken off their jackets, let alone drinking.
And so someone noticed them.
""
"People south of the Yellow River are like this."
"I heard that the man of Huaiyang Dao is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he can be the daughter of Tsing Yi"
"Men's style is especially great, and that's no different."
"Haha, it's nothing more than a few words, it's crepe"
A few people didn't deliberately lower their voices, so not only the people next to them could hear it, but Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua could also hear it clearly.
It may be that someone saw Wang Jiehua, who was dressed as a man, and could see some of her original face from her dress, and her speech gradually turned into a loud voice.
Some people are playing with rivers and lakes or exotic customs, and some people are still knocking on the bowls and basins, regardless of whether the boss is not worried that they will break the bowls and basins, and sing loudly, causing a lot of people to make peace.
They hoped to attract the attention of the little lady sitting in the corner, and they didn't expect anything charming, just a glance was enough.
Many people don't even think about those charms.
The local women are hot and spicy, although they are not used to eating it, so the light and elegant Huaiyang cuisine is a good recipe for fire. If you can see it, if you can see it, it will be done.
Kansai Han, iron plate copper pipa, song big river east, naturally impossible to see at this time. And the combination of the men's masculine power and throat-cutting knives has also become a good wine for drunken daughters.
Wang Jiehua is not a woman from Shanxi Dao, she is an authentic Huaiyang Daoist, so this bold and even heroic style is, in her opinion, vulgar and even contemptible.
So she was a little annoyed.
Xie Shence shook his head imperceptibly, and Wang Jiehua ignored it anymore.
Most people's boldness can represent the overall impression in some aspects, but it is not excluded that some people are really vulgar.
A man who had drunk too much stood up slapping the table, and the sound of slapping the table interrupted the beat, so the people stopped. During this period, it is natural that people on the head of the company will scold.
The man was not afraid at all, and scolded the people hoarsely, so he silenced the scolding of those who were not good at words.
Unable to scold, someone pulled out a bright knife, but was stopped by a friend, so he sat down hatefully and stopped making a sound.
The man held the table and helped the people, and came to the table of Xie Shence.
"Lift the hood, everyone see! It's a man, or a girl! β
The red and somewhat purple face, mixed with wine and flesh, made Wang Jiehua cover his mouth and nose. The man let out a smug laugh.
"It's a!"
The man's words made some people excited.
Wine and beauty, or wine and women, are placed in the eyes of the big men who walk through the western road of Guanshan, and they are inseparable from each other.
There were no women in this inn, and there were no people in the surrounding ten miles, so the only woman became the focus of everyone's excitement.
Some people didn't see it, but after such a commotion, they also understood.
Oh, and there are women dressed as men.
The man snatched a bowl of wine from the adjacent table, drank half of it, handed it to Wang Jiehua, and said, "It's the man, just do it!" No, just go to the hood, let's see! β
It was a nonsense, just to confirm that the previous laughter was right, so the man was especially justified.
Wang Jiehua ignored it. Xie Shence put down his chopsticks and said, "You have bad breath." Moreover, she does not drink the alcohol of outsiders. Besides, you're ugly."
"What are you! Is there a place for you to speak? β
The man grabbed Xie Shence's shirt with his hand, and he wanted to lift Xie Shence with one hand.
"Hey!" The man's feet stomp on the ground, then the legs, then the waist and shoulders, and finally the hands.
Without moving, Xie Shence looked lightly at the hand that almost tore his front placket and tilted his head.
The man was stunned for a moment, then became furious and stomped his feet again, this time with ten percent of his strength.
"Hah!"
Still not moving.
Someone rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
Tang Daxia, who is known as the most powerful of the five-mile locust tree, actually failed to pick up a boy from Huaiyangdao?
Tang Daxia's head was sweating, and his face became really red.
The opponent is a few pounds and a few taels, he himself knows best. So he no longer cared about face, and his hands slashed on Xie Shence's chest, letting out a series of strange screams.
"Ahhhh
Xie Shence's body was light and he got up.
The next moment, Tang Daxia's body flew up, and the whole person fell out of the door.
The inn was quiet - in fact, when Tang Daxia made a move, there was no sound.
It's just that at this point, most people are holding their breath.
So it was quieter.
Xie Shence took out the money bag from his waist, took out the copper coins, stacked them in two stacks, and then walked out of the inn with Wang Jiehua.
It seems to be breezy and light.
There are many people who come and go, and there are many people here who lick blood on the knife edge to beg for a living, so Xie Shence's action shocked some people and angered some people.
Several men drew their knives. Then he surrounded Xie Shence at the door of the inn. Obviously, they were the companions of that Tang Daxia and the owner of the five-mile locust tree.
Seeing the injustice, Lu drew a knife to help, which was reflected at this time. Someone pulled out a knife, and it was the group of people who had endured it before, and walked to the side of Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua, and confronted a few people from the Wuli Big Locust Tree.
Or not necessarily, in a narrow sense. However, it doesn't make much difference at this point in terms of personal sentiment or in a narrow sense.
Xie Shence grinned.
"Poor acting"
(PS: I thought I could go two shifts smoothly this month, heh, the beginning of the month was too busy, and these few days were spent on the run.) I'm going to run tomorrow. Chapter by chapter, tired of running for his life, just like thanking Shence and Wang Jiehua for dying in the world.
I got a mistake in the previous chapter, sorry, it has been changed. οΌ
