Chapter 32: Catch the Egg
The stout knight in the lead suddenly reined in his horse, and the horse under him stopped immediately, and the body of the mount was almost half upright, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", and the mount snorted, and the knights who followed him saw this, and immediately stopped the horse, and for a while the horse neighed, and the nose did not stop.
After the leading knight stopped the horse, he jumped off the horse and walked quickly to Brother Egg's side, and the knights who followed him quickly followed the leading knight. The leading knight walked to the side of the eggman, drew his saber, and pointed diagonally at the man who was resting in the shade of the tree.
The knights who followed him immediately caught up and surrounded the egg brother and the man who was resting in the shade of the tree.
The leading knight was Dong Shouye's personal guard general Dian Wei, and when he saw that his men and horses had surrounded the spies, he said: "Bold thief, don't hurry up and arrest him." β
Brother Egg and the cooler didn't know, so he said again and again: "Official, is there any misunderstanding here?" β
Dian Wei sneered: "The rebellious ministers and thieves dare to plot against my family's master, when the matter is approaching, I don't know how to die, I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin!" β
The cooler's face changed when he heard this, he knew that he had been exposed, and he turned his heart sideways, and said secretly: "For today's plan, we can only fight to the death to fight a bloody way and escape back to Hebei." Immediately, he lifted his shirt, pulled out the sword hidden close to his body, pulled out the big sword, and shouted, he was about to step forward to fight with Dian Wei.
Seeing this, Dian Wei sneered again, held the knife in one hand, and slashed at the man's head.
The man was in the encirclement, it was not easy to dodge, so he could only choose to fight hard, and when he saw Dian Wei's stout body, he knew that the other party was a man with extraordinary strength, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, holding the sword in both hands, and resisting with all his might.
I saw him holding the big sword in both hands, wanting to block the slash from Dian Wei with all his strength, and then find an opportunity to counterattack. Unexpectedly, with a loud sound of metal impact, the sword that had accompanied him for many years was cut off by the other party, and he was also shocked by the force of the weapon and took a few steps back.
The man only felt a huge force coming along his arm, his whole body shook, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and spit out a mouthful of blood, obviously suffering internal injuries and going up to the internal organs. Then two sergeants stepped forward, holding spears, one left and one right, with the two spear heads against the man's neck.
The egg brother was frightened when he saw this, his whole body was soft on the ground, a stream of yellow soup flowed down from his crotch, and he could vaguely smell a smell of urine.
Dian Wei saw that the spy had been subdued by himself, so he said: "Brothers, the spy has been subdued by us, quickly tie it up, escort it back to the mansion and hand it over to Gongzi for interrogation." Then Dian Wei stepped forward and searched the man's body carefully, and sure enough, he found a letter. Dian Wei hid the letter close to him.
It turned out that this qiΔ was all arranged by Dong Shouye.
Dian Wei escorted two spies to the mansion and met Dong Shouye.
Seeing this, Dong Shouye looked at each other and smiled at Jia Xu and Du Ji, only to hear Dong Shouye say: "Brother Bohou is really resourceful and arbitrary, but he didn't expect some clues, so he let this spy be bound. β
Du Yi smiled, touched the short beard on his mouth, and said a few words modestly.
The egg brother looked up, wasn't this the person who bought eggs with him before?
Dong Shouye pointed to the person who was with Brother Egg at this time and said, "Evil, have you ever searched this person's body?" β
Dian Wei replied: "Back to Gongzi, I have searched my body, found a letter, and asked Gongzi to look at it." After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Dong Shouye.
Dong Shouye took the letter in his hand, opened it and looked at it, and after reading it, he handed it to Jia Xu and Du Ji behind him. Then he said to the two who were bound, "What else do you have to say?" β
The egg brother knelt on the ground and begged: "Childe, the villain is wronged, and he doesn't know anything." The villain recruited everything, begging the son to be merciful and let go of the villain's name. β
Dong Shouye said: "That's fine, you will recruit from the truth, and this son may spare your life!" β
After hearing Dong Shouye's promise, the egg brother immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and then said: "Qi Yu Gongzi, the villain was originally a person from Zhangjiazhuang thirty miles away from the east gate of Chang'an City, and he raised dozens of chickens at home, so he often took the eggs at home to sell near Chang'an City, and exchanged some money to buy some oil and salt and other daily necessities. One day, two months ago, this man met me on the road and said he wanted to introduce me to a way to make money. The villain was greedy, so he agreed to this man. This person asked the villain to sell eggs outside the east gate of Chang'an City on the fifteenth day of every month, and let the villain's eggs only be sold to one person, and taught the villain some words, so that the villain sold the eggs to the person who said correctly, and helped him pass on some news by the way. Childe, everything the villain knows has been said, and Childe is asked to bypass the villain's life. β
After Dong Shouye listened, he said: "Lassi will go and hit ten military sticks first, let him have a longer memory, and don't be greedy for money." β
Immediately, two sergeants stepped forward and dragged Brother Egg out, and the military stick waited.
At this time, Dong Shouye looked at the man who was still tied to the ground and said, "What else do you have to say?" If there is half a lie, this son will immediately take your head. β
When the man saw that the great thing was gone, and that it was futile to continue his struggle, he told him everything he knew.
Only then did Dong Shouye know that this person was actually sent by Yuan Shao and was Yuan Shao's secret envoy. This secret envoy accepted Yuan Shao's orders in Yecheng, Hebei, came to Chang'an City alone, and then secretly contacted Yuan's protΓ©gΓ©. Just arrived in Chang'an a few days ago, the situation is not familiar, but there is no clue about doing things, it just so happens that Ding Guan was transferred from the local area to Chang'an as a speaker, this Ding Guan had received the favor of the Yuan family before. It can be seen that the influence of the Yuan family, even if Yuan Shao is in Hebei, the news in Chang'an City will reach Yuan Shao's hands at any time.
This secret envoy secretly contacted Ding Guan and asked him to contact the former officials of the Yuan family in Chang'an City, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Dong Zhuo. This Ding Guan also hated Dong Zhuo to the core, so the two hit it off, and set some codes to communicate.
However, due to personality reasons, he was not good at communicating with others, and he did not contact anyone else, but decided to go it alone, to be a loyal minister who got rid of the traitor, and became famous through the ages. In order to communicate with Yuan Shao's secret envoys, he sent his henchmen to contact the secret envoys outside the city and pass on news to each other, so that Yuan Shao could be fully prepared in the future and lead troops south at any time to enter the king of Jingqin.
Poor Ding Guan this old boy, he thinks it is quite good, if this Yuan Shao can really give up a qiΔ, how can the current situation occur.
