Chapter 997: Dead Soldier

He just found that there was something wrong with Liu Yu's gait. The steps of normal people are alternate between their legs, and the same is true for Liu Yu, but once or twice, Liu Yu's right leg is dragged behind, as if he was injured and did not get better, leaving sequelae, but it is not always like this, and he will soon return to the gait of a normal person. If you don't pay attention to it, you will think that he is not on his feet, or because he is nervous, so he is a little messy, but he will not think that it is a secret method in the Dao of Yubu.

"Are you sure?"

"Not sure." Dunwu shook his head: "This kind of footwork was originally evolved from the steps of the disabled, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Only people in the Dao Sect, and those who have cultivated Yu Bu, can recognize the truth from the fake. Zhenying is here, maybe you can see it. ”

Wei Ba sighed, Han Zhenying was by Guan Feng's side now, how could she rush over. But it doesn't matter, if you don't recognize him, just assume that he's real, it's never too much to be careful. One master is killing, two masters are still killing, not to mention that Liu Min's side is not as simple as one or two masters. Those dead soldiers who rushed over from Xiliang, even if they were not as powerful as that master, they must not be far behind.

"Add another hundred armor soldiers to the house." Wei Ba twisted his fingers: "Let Heisha come, let's bow to the grand event together." ”

"Whoa."

……

The deputy envoy Liu Yu went fast and came back faster, which surprised Liu Min.

Everything was normal, the request of the adults, and the general of the chariot cavalry agreed. When the auspicious time is chosen, please wait for a while. Liu Yu said in return.

Liu Min breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, Wei Ba agreed to take the edict. That is to get closer in the direction he wants.

Liu Min immediately made arrangements for his entourage, and was about to usher in the most critical moment, so he naturally had to discuss the plan of action with his subordinates. After making some arrangements, Liu Min invited the master to his room, told him that he was about to act, and then asked with a pleasant face:

"Yang Jun, running thousands of miles, can your body support it?"

This person was personally arranged by Zhuge Liang, and even the main envoy Liu Min knew that this person's surname was Yang. I don't know the full name. Usually only called Yang Jun. He vaguely guessed from his accent and appearance that this person was from Liangzhou, and he might have something to do with Jiang Wei, but he didn't know what the relationship between Lu Dao was.

"Rest assured, a certain person has been tracking a rare snow leopard. Thousands of miles through the snowy mountains. This way. It's not hard. ”

"That's good. I'll have to rely on Yang Jun later. Liu Min once again instructed: "If Wei Ba is willing to accept the edict and follow me into Beijing, there is no need to make a big move." Only when he refused to give in. to be able to use strong. ”

Yang Xiong nodded and said nothing.

Liu Min sighed, knowing that his words were basically in vain. First, it is unlikely that Wei Ba will agree to exchange the prince for military power. went to Chang'an, and from then on the tiger was in a cage, and the dragon met the shoal, how could he agree. Second, this Yang Jun in front of him probably has another order, and no matter whether Wei Ba agrees or not, a fight is always inevitable. Only when Wei Ba died could the aftermath be truly removed.

Compared with Wei Ba's subordinates falling apart and attacking each other, Wei Ba himself is obviously a greater threat. The prime minister made so many arrangements, of course, for the purpose of killing Wei Ba on the spot, and the secret edict was in his bag. As for the explanation afterwards, just look at Liu Yu and know that the prime minister has already made a plan.

Liu Min waited in the post house, it was not long, but he felt very difficult. Every drop of water when the pot was leaking seemed to drip into his heart.

In the evening, Wei Ba sent someone to inform him that he had prepared and respectfully requested the edict.

Liu Min almost jumped up, he took out the secret edict from his bag, stuffed it into his sleeve, and tucked it carefully, then walked out of the door, gathered his entourage, set up the honor guard, and walked all the way to Wei Ba's mansion.

The news that the Son of Heaven had a messenger came as early as when Liu Min entered the city. It is impossible for ordinary people to know that there are so many flies and dogs in the court, and they all think that the Son of Heaven sent a messenger to reward the general of Che Cai and the soldiers under his command, and many people stood on the side of the road to watch the excitement. Liu Min and the others walked all the way, and the people on the side of the road gathered more and more, and they all looked at them with eager eyes.

Liu Min sighed in his heart. Wei Ba's methods are really clever, and it is just a matter of taking Qingxu lightly, but he has won the hearts of the people in such a short period of time. Looking at the eyes of these people, you can know that as soon as Wei Ba dies, Linzi is in chaos, and the people suffer, it is inevitable that they will end up with the hatred of the court. In the future, I am afraid it will not be so easy to take Qingzhou.

It is hoped that the prime minister's plan can be carried out as he wishes, and Zhao Tong, Fei Yi and others will be forced by the situation to bow to the imperial court and take the initiative to cooperate with them to control the situation in Qingzhou.

In Liu Min's worry, they came to Wei Ba's mansion. When he saw the guard of honor in front of the door, Liu Min was taken aback. Wei Ba is a chariot general, and it is normal to have halberd guards in front of the door, but there are too many guards today. Far more than a hundred, they parted in front of the gate, parted on both sides, and stretched along the tall courtyard wall into the distance, as if they had surrounded the whole house.

This is a situation that only occurs when there is an emergency operation, could it be that Wei Ba has already prepared? Liu Min was shocked, and then smiled bitterly again. Wei Ba is not a fool, how can he not be prepared at all. However, the key to success or failure is only in the moment, in the land of lying cattle, Wei Ba is no matter how many troops are deployed outside, it will not affect the ending.

From the moment he accepted the task, Liu Min was mentally prepared. If it doesn't work, you can only die for your country. If it does, it is also possible that his life will not be guaranteed. Now, with one step through the door, his life and death are out of his hands.

He glanced back at Yang Xiong. Yang Xiong bowed slightly, and his eyes were calm and waveless.

As soon as Liu Min stepped into the vestibule, he saw Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tongyi was dressed in armor, and outside the armor, he also wore a white robe without decoration, which was obviously a filial piety dress. When Liu Min saw it, he was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Old General Zhao......"

"I just received the news that my father has passed away on the first day of the first lunar month." Zhao Tong took a step back: "Tong is in the service, there is rudeness, please forgive Liu Jun." ”

Liu Min nodded again and again, and a wave of sadness welled up in his heart. The last old man of the Yuancong system has passed away, and the Yuancong system has disappeared.

"Since the general has a uniform, why ......?"

"I'm a prisoner, how can I not come to such a big thing." Zhao Tong arched his hand, "Please wait, envoy, I'll go first to see how well the preparations are going." ”

Liu Min was very happy. Judging from Zhao Tong's attitude, he should be inclined to the imperial court. Yang Xiong behind him frowned, took a step closer, and said, "My lord, this person is Zhao Tong, the son of Zhao Yun?" ”

"yes, you know?"

"No, this person walks with a strict and steady gait, but his arms are unusually agile, he should be a master with a spear, and he is a master of riding a spear and a spear. I think about it, maybe only he is possible. ”

Liu Min laughed. It can be seen that this master is a little jealous of Zhao Tong. He said softly: "It's okay, although he is Wei Ba's senior brother, he is a prison sent by the prime minister, you don't have to treat him as an enemy." ”

Yang Xiong sighed, obviously relaxed.

After a while, someone came to report that it was ready, and asked the messenger to come in and deliver the edict. Liu Min coughed, took advantage of the time to be dressed, gave Liu Yu and the others another look, and then took out his hands to hold the edict and walked towards the atrium with his head held high.

The knights walked forward together, but were stopped at the door.

The tall Zhu Yi stretched out his hand and almost blocked the entire gate. He grinned, his tone was kind, but his attitude was very resolute.

"It's enough to have the chief envoy and deputy envoy, these Lang officials are still waiting in the vestibule, it's not big enough to stand."

Liu Min sank his face and didn't speak. Deputy envoy Liu Yu stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "The envoy of the Son of Heaven has passed on the edict, and for example, there should be an official accompanying him." How did you get to the general of the chariot cavalry, and even the rules of the imperial court couldn't work? ”

Zhu Yi smiled: "My lord, forgive me, it's not that I didn't mean to offend, it's just that the general of the chariot is frugal and refuses to use the deep mansion compound, so the atrium is small and can't accommodate so many soldiers." He pointed to the warriors dressed as Lang officials behind Liu Min and the others: "With so many people huddled together, when the soldiers and armor collide and Ding is loud, isn't it hurtful to be solemn?" For the sake of court etiquette, it is better to stay in the vestibule. Anyway, it's just one wall, so it's the same. ”

Liu Yu wanted to fight again, but Liu Min coughed, interrupting their argument. He had long known that it was impossible for Wei Ba to let him bring all the armor soldiers in, and it was inevitable that these people would stay outside, just arguing as a rule, so that Wei Ba could relax his vigilance.

"There is some truth in what you say, but the etiquette of the court must also be taken into account. In this case, I will take five armorers inside, and the others will stay outside, presumably the chariot general's atrium will not be too small to accommodate even these few people. ”

Zhu Yi was a little embarrassed, and immediately asked people to report, and after a while, words came from inside, and the general of the chariot cavalry had already answered, and invited the messenger to enter.

Liu Min had already ordered five armor soldiers, and naturally they were all Yang Xiong and the companions he brought. They walked into the atrium with their heads held high and found that there were only Liao Liao and a few people in the atrium. Wei Ba stood in the middle, and Zhao Tong and another young man who looked like a scholar stood behind him. Two other fierce warriors stood aside, swords at their waists and spears in their hands, watching warily at what was in front of them.

Liu Min breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that although Wei Ba is prepared, he is still insufficient, especially the strength around him is seriously insufficient. The number of people on both sides is about the same, but the strength is not on the same level. He must have thought that if he left the hundred dead soldiers pretending to be Lang officials outside, he would be safe, but he didn't expect that there was a real master hiding in it, and this master was the real killer, and those dead soldiers outside were just blindfolding, and staying outside was just to make him feel at ease.

Liu Min admired Zhuge Liang a little at this time, this method seemed extremely dangerous, but it was also one of the few ways to get close to Wei Ba.

It may even be the only one.

Wei Ba must not have imagined that we are dead soldiers, not only the more than 100 people outside, but the five people behind him are dead soldiers, Liu Yu is also a dead soldier, I am also a dead soldier, and the prime minister who is far away in the pass is also a dead soldier.

The dead are loyal to the king, and death does not turn around.

Liu Min took a step forward and said with a smile: "General Che Cai, please accept the edict." ”…… (To be continued......)
