Chapter 484: Do You Still Have a Face?
Before getting on the horse, Tian Fan inadvertently touched the neck of the dark cloud covering snow with his right hand, only to feel cold and damp, and after a closer look, it turned out that the horse was sweating.
Tian Fan patted Kuroko's head and said with a little apology: "Kuroko, you are tired today!" When I'm done with this, I'll invite you to drink! ”
Wuyun Gaixue likes to drink, hearing Tian Fan say this, he couldn't help but snort happily, stepped on the ground a few times with four hooves, raised his huge head, and rubbed on Tian Fan, showing great affection.
Tian Fan smiled, turned over and got on the horse, and then, without waiting for Tian Fan to control the horse, the horse automatically began to run.
On the way, Tian Fan kept thinking about how to solve the matter of Sun Shangxiang and Tang Zheng. Although Xiapi City is prosperous, it is not a city that never sleeps, and at night there is a curfew, and the lights need to be turned off and locked. Since the lights in the venue are bright today, it means that something has happened, and the matter is not small, and it has caused martial law in the whole city, as if it is facing a great enemy. And in connection with the disappearance of Sun Shangxiang and Tang Zheng, Tian Fan naturally thought that maybe these two little children played an assassin!
Qin Yi's approach, Tian Fan also disagreed, abandoning his wife for the sake of wealth and wealth, no matter in that dynasty, was spurned by people. However, Qin Yi is Liu Bei's cronies, and this identity makes people dare not offend easily. He is the person around the leader, in case he offends, he has something to do all day long and gives small words, it doesn't matter once or twice, but after a long time, no one can stand it.
Speaking of which, if it was really Tang Zheng and Sun Shangxiang who assassinated Qin Yi, and then suppose that Qin Yi died, then this matter would be a bit big! After all, as Liu Bei's side, if you kill him, you will not give Liu Bei face. If Liu Bei didn't deal with it, what would the rest of the people around him think? Xu Chu, what will Xu Ding think?
Or, suppose Qin Yi is injured. If this is the case, then the key to this matter depends on Qin Yi. Qin Yi is Liu Bei's side, a cronie, his face, Liu Bei has to scruple no matter what. If he is determined to punish the murderer, then Liu Bei is likely to respect his opinion. However, if this assassin is the son of Sun Ce's sister and his personal guard Tian Fan, firstly, Sun Ce and Tian Fan cannot be easily convicted, and secondly, the two assassins are young, according to modern parlance, they have not yet reached the age of full criminal responsibility, then, how will Liu Bei balance this matter?
Tian Fan thought for a while, and suddenly found that if it was really Tang Zheng and Sun Shangxiang who assassinated Qin Yi, then ...... Qin Yi is dead, but it is easier to do. If Qin Yi hadn't died...... It's not that easy to do! After all, he was not familiar with Qin Yi, and if Qin Yi didn't give him face, he couldn't help it.
Shaking his head slowly, Tian Fan couldn't help but feel depressed! Uncle, it's really a bad year! It's only been less than three days since I went out, and so many things have happened at home!
When there were still five miles to Xiapi City, a string of cavalry carrying torches suddenly appeared in front of him.
At this moment and here, the cavalry that can appear should be Liu Bei's cavalry, but Tian Fan still has an extra heart. He hurriedly asked the brothers to set up a defensive formation, and then he shrank into the array, shouting, "Who is ahead! ”
The people in front obviously also noticed Tian Fan and his party, and they were busy setting up the same array, and the two teams were facing each other fifty paces apart.
The other party heard Tian Fan's roar, and also replied with a loud roar, "Under the lord is the lord, the general, Xuzhou Mu Liu Xuande's account under the middle guard Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang, who was ordered by the lord to go to Tianfu to invite General Baihu!" Is there a White Tiger General ahead? ”
Tian Fan knew who it was when he heard this very characteristic roar, and after listening to him, he hurriedly said: "Tian Fan is here, General Zhongkang is polite!" ”
When the two groups of people saw that they were their own people, they relaxed their vigilance.
After a while, Tian Fan and Xu Chu met in front of the battle. Xu Chu coldly clenched his fists and said: "General White Tiger is polite, on the orders of the lord, please enter the city for a while!" ”
Tian Fan hugged his fists and said: "Zhongkang is polite!" Okay, let's go, I just have something to do in town! ”
Xu Chu nodded, turned his horse to open the way first, and went down to Picheng.
Tang Xian took the horse to Tian Fan's side, and whispered angrily: "Childe, are they too much?" ”
Tian Fan looked at the people brought by Xu Chu, and what they put on was a formation that seemed to be random, but in fact it was secretly murderous. There were many of them, about two hundred, and they surrounded Tian Fan's fifty or so people in the middle, and every group of two or three people, one by one, pressed the handle of the knife or held a bow and arrow, and glanced at Tian Fan's people intentionally or unintentionally.
Tian Fan looked at Tang Xian and said with a smile: "It's okay, we didn't want to run, so naturally they won't do anything excessive." ”
He said it easily, but he was also up and down in his heart. This time, Liu Bei did not send Xu Ding to find him, but sent Xu Chu, who was on official business and had a dead face all day long, which means that the matter is a bit big!
When Tian Fan was escorted into Xiapi City under Xu Chuming's protection, he saw five steps, one post, three steps and one sentry in the city, and the security was many times stricter than usual.
He shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, Tang Zheng and Sun Shangxiang are not big people, but the things they can cause are really not small!
Entering the General's Mansion, Tian Fan handed the sword to the guards at the door outside the main hall of the General's Mansion, and took off his shoes, and then entered the main hall under Xu Chu's intentional or unintentional supervision.
Xu Chu said loudly: "Lord Qi, General White Tiger has brought it!" ”
Tian Fan did not kneel or salute, he looked at Liu Bei on the main seat. I saw Liu Bei wearing the crown of a great general, and he was facing Tian Fan with his hands behind his back, looking at the huge map behind his seat.
After a while, Liu Bei's voice came over without a trace of emotion, "Got it, you step down!" ”
Xu Chu was a little anxious, and hugged his fists and said, "But, the lord ......"
"Hmph, stand down!" Liu Bei said coldly.
Xu Chu was helpless, so he had to give another salute, looked at Tian Fan, turned around and strode away. Closing the door, he shouted: "Come on, surround the house, anyone who appears at the door without the company of the lord will be killed!" ”
Dozens of guards at the door agreed in unison, and the momentum was amazing.
Tian Fan didn't care at all about Xu Chu's orders and the promises of the guards, and waited for Xu Chu's sonorous footsteps and the sound of the nail leaves to go away, and then he had the time to clasp his fists and salute, and said, "The last general, Tian Boguang, has seen the lord!" ”
After a while, seeing Liu Bei answer, Tian Fan got up by himself. When I looked up, I saw that Liu Bei had turned around and was looking at him with blazing eyes.
Tian Fan smiled and looked at Liu Bei. In fact, he was also a little drumming in his heart, after all, Liu Bei's attitude was still unclear. And, looking at the current situation, it seems to be against him.
For a while, neither of them spoke.
After a while, Liu Bei sighed and said in a deep voice: "Boguang, how do I treat you?" ”
Tian Fan hugged his fists and said: "The lord treats Fan like a reborn parent, and he is recreated!" ”
Liu Bei nodded imperceptibly, and asked in a deep voice, "So, why did you send someone to assassinate me?" ”
Tian Fan said in surprise: "What? Lord, someone assassinated you? ”
Liu Bei snorted coldly and said, "Pretend, you pretend again!" The security in Xiapi City is so tight, with your cleverness, you can't think of the reason? Say, "Why did you send men to kill me?" ”
Tian Fan looked confused, spread his hands, and said, "Where did the lord start with this?" When did anyone send someone to assassinate you? How could I have sent someone to assassinate you? Furthermore, please tell me clearly, who assassinated you? When? ”
Liu Bei looked at him for a long time, suddenly smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, okay, stinky boy, come and sit!" ”
Tian Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the matter is not a big deal, as long as Liu Bei does not take it seriously, then there will be a discussion. He smiled, pretended to wipe his sweat, sighed, and said, "Lord, you are becoming more and more domineering, this cold face asked me a few words, and I was so scared that my legs and feet were sore, and I almost peed my pants!" ”
Liu Bei rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "You kid has a lot of strange words!" Come and sit down, we need to discuss this matter today. ”
Tian Fan nodded and sat down under him.
Liu Bei saw him sit down and explained, "Boguang, don't blame me. Your Tang Zheng shot and injured Qin Yi, he is my personal guard, if I don't make a show, I can't explain to the personal guards. ”
Tian Fan nodded, expressed understanding, and asked, "Lord, what's going on?" I just came back from Lu County tonight, and I don't know what happened yet, so tell me about it. ”
Liu Bei nodded and said, "It's not a big deal." Well, that's ......"
It turned out that Tang Zheng and Sun Shangxiang assassinated Qin Yi tonight, because the sky was dark, the feather arrow did not have much accuracy, and the strength was small, so only one feather arrow hit Qin Yi's left arm, and the other feather arrow hit the iron armor on his shoulder, and the armor did not even pierce the armor. Qin Yi was not seriously injured, so he naturally wanted to arrest people.
The two little guys were also dexterous, and after a few turns, Qin Yi and the others chased people away. happened to meet the patrolling soldiers, and those soldiers didn't know what to do, so they reported the matter layer by layer, and finally reported it to Liu Bei. When Liu Bei heard that Qin Yi was assassinated, he thought that some hostile force wanted to cut off his cronies, so he naturally attached great importance to it, so he imposed martial law in the whole city and vowed to find out the murderer.
Tang Zheng and Sun Shangxiang were arrested half an hour later. The whole city is under martial law, no family dares to open the door, and besides, Liu Bei is still quite popular in Xiapi, when they learn that tonight is to catch the assassin who assassinated Liu Bei, the people are eager to do it themselves, and naturally they will not contain any outsiders. Moreover, the city was full of soldiers, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and even the rat holes were all over, and they had no place to hide. Tang Zheng's bow and arrow were given by his grandfather, and Sun Shangxiang's bow was given by Tian Fan, and after they were assassinated, they didn't throw away the bow and arrow, so when they compared the bows and arrows on their bodies, Qin Yi naturally confirmed that the assassin was them.
Seeing this situation, Qin Yi couldn't help but be depressed. What is this called? Is it really a bad year? Just got a bad reputation and was assassinated by two little kids? However, he was not good at killing. Because these are two children after all, and they didn't cause him much harm, if he is a murderer, then add a child murder charge, and his reputation will really stink at home.
After Liu Bei saw these two assassins, he couldn't help laughing or crying. Yes, the tens of thousands of soldiers in Xiapi City were busy for most of the night, and they caught such two "assassins", you said that if this matter spreads, where can he put Liu Bei's old face?
After that, Liu Bei "interrogated" the "assassins" and asked them whose children they were, Tang Zheng did not say a word, and vowed not to betray his family and Tian Fan, which was quite a bit of a revolutionary martyr. As for Sun Shangxiang, the girl's proud temperament naturally tilted her head and snorted.
In the end, it was one of Liu Bei's guards who recognized Tang Zheng. Because Tang Zheng's appearance is very similar to his father, he belongs to the kind that looks like father and son at first glance, and this personal guard has seen Tang Xian many times.
So, Liu Bei cheated and learned the truth from Tang Zheng's eyes. As for Sun Shangxiang, Liu Bei didn't ask her true identity, so he imagined her to be Tang Zheng's sister.
After talking about the course of the incident, Liu Bei said depressedly: "Boguang, what do you say you should do about this matter?" What should I do with them two boys? ”
Tian Fan sighed and said, "Lord, if you really dispose of these two children, do you still have a face?" ”
