Chapter 265: Luring the Tiger into the Cage (2)
After that, I cleaned the wounds of the paralyzed Wuyin and changed into a clean robe, and asked Ah Yang to inform the heads of the hexagrams to gather in the main hall of the Qiangua. ⊙ Sanjiangge Novel,
Above the lobby, Wuyin sat stiffly next to me, and I smiled as I conveyed what I was going to do to everyone.
Because the box of the hexagram has all fallen into my hands, everyone has more taboos in their hearts, and they should accept it quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, a ceremony of alternating power ended uneventfully and quietly.
For two days, it was as if everything had quietly ended before it began.
I looked at the empty lobby and the unspeakable five tones beside me, and suddenly it seemed that this smooth victory had come a little too easily.
At night, a cold rain fell sparsely in the valley, and the blazing maple leaves in the courtyard were dipped in the rain. The autumn wind swept through the broken door of the main house and into the bed curtain, and the night was unusually cold. I tightened the thin quilt on the bed, and reached out to pick the kneeling bronze lamp at the head of the bed that was getting darker and darker.
After the five tones were placed, the people of the Kan hexagram and the Zhen hexagram were the first to send their secret report. Twenty-four secret letters of cattail grass covered my large bed, and the flickering candle shadows moved around the straw poles engraved with words like a mysterious pattern.
"Outside the Weidu Diqiu, the Jin army is encamped, the Wei army is ready to fight, the Qi army is coming, and the dignitaries of the Diqiu are scattered when they hear about the war. However, Wei Jun Zhijian vowed to defend the city for 100 days to wait for reinforcements. ”
100 days, no matter what the internal and external difficulties are at the moment, it can't be delayed for 100 days no matter what.
It is difficult to attack the city, but it is easy to defend the city. Since ancient times, the method of siege has been the next strategy. This time, the Jin State had no ten times the number of soldiers, and there was no grain and grass supplies, if Wei Jun could hold on for three months, even if the Qi army did not come, the Jin army would have to withdraw and return to China. And after returning to China, what was waiting for the unsympathetic was Zhiyao pressing the sharp knife in his throat in the name of "defeated army". Therefore, Wuxian can't afford to drag it out, what he wants is a battle decision. And I, I want a way to help him cross the hundred-foot wall of Emperor Hill.
I rubbed my aching eyes and gathered around the oil lamp with the secret letter in my hand, looking for all the information that would help the battle situation.
Empty, general, speculative, full of dense words, but there is no useful clue.
The night was deep, and it was raining heavily outside the window, and the raindrops hit the window frame with the sound of the wind, which made people irritable. I got up, put on my coat, blew out the oil lamp, and rushed out of the gate of the Qiangua in the face of the wind and rain.
Key, who can give me a key to open the gate of Emperor Hill......
The rain was falling incessantly, and as I was soaking wet and my teeth chattering, my feet led me outside the gate of the hexagram exchange.
Knock knock knock...... The dull knock on the door looked weak in the pouring rain.
"Who? Dare to knock on the door at such a late hour! Don't let people sleep? "There was a scolding and sleepy-eyed beauty standing in the courtyard gate of the hexagram. Her plain white bedclothes were wet by the rain and clinged tightly to her beautiful and round body, but she didn't realize it.
I untied the bamboo hat on my head to block the beautiful scenery on her chest, and said with a smile: "Sister Shang, I am not a hot-blooded man who is a hexagram, and you are not afraid of causing a romantic debt when you welcome guests like this in the middle of the night?" ”
"Ashi? No, my lord, why are you here?! Shang hugged the bamboo hat on his chest and suddenly sobered up.
"Shh I raised my index finger and gestured to my lips, reflexively closed the courtyard door, and pulled the merchant to the side room where he used to practice dancing.
"Ah Shi, you are now the head of the trigram, if you have anything to command, just send someone to call me tomorrow. It's the middle of the night, and it's raining so heavily......" Shang said as I dragged him into the empty Xi Dance Hall.
I closed the door, put my ear to the door and listened.
Outside the door, there was no sound except the sound of rain.
"Lan Ji is now sleeping in Sister Gong's former room?" I turned to the businessman.
"She's different from everyone else, and she's the only one who can live in that house. However, last night she went out of the valley and returned to Qi. ”
Why did Ranji leave so quickly? Listening to the report of the sunspot, she only stayed in the valley for three days this time, during which she only went to the "Lock Heart Building" of the hexagram, and had a secret conversation with Wuyin. Could it be that she was the envoy sent by the Chen clan of Qi to lobby Wuyin to "betray Zhao and Tou Chen"? Wuyin's proud confidence last night was because of the support of the Qi Guo Chen family behind his back?
"Ah Shi, your robe is dripping down, do you want to go to my house to change your clothes first?" I thought about it, and Shang on the side bent down and lifted the hem of my robe.
"Sister Shang, don't worry about this robe for now, I came here to ask you something." I came back to my senses and hurriedly took off my robe and pulled Shang to the corner of the lobby, "Sister, how much do you know about the things in the Weiguo Palace?" In addition to Weihou in Diqiu, who else can speak in the court in recent years? ”
"Defending the country?" Shang Wen Yan was slightly stunned.
"Yes, haven't you heard about the attack and defense of the Jin Kingdom?"
"I heard about it, but I thought you came here in the rain like this to ask me about the old people in the Qin capital!"
The old man in Yongcheng......
I looked at the plump beauty in front of me, and suddenly remembered that she and the main palace were all congratulatory gifts from Tianshu to Gongzili's newlywed. "Sister Shang, why did you come back? But doesn't Childe treat you well? I took Shang's hand and whispered.
"Gongzi Li is handsome and elegant, and he is a good host, but he already has an uncle and concubine in his house, and where is the grace of our sisters." Shang glanced at me with a smile, and said, "After Gongzi Li became the crown prince of Qin, he gave us all to General Wu, and the general didn't like women's music, so he rewarded us for half a year." ”
"Now that you're free, why don't you go farther, the outside world is so big."
"I'm a person from Tianshu, and I always have to come back when things outside are broken."
"What about Sister Gong, why didn't she come back with you?"
Gong fell in love with the lame son of the Wu family, and the general sent her away, but she refused. It's a pity that she has a peerless talent, but in the end she has to guard a cripple with a bad temper every day. Shang couldn't hide the pity on his face when he talked about the palace, I patted her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Gong is already lucky to be with the person she likes, we should be happy for her." ”
"What to be happy about!" Shang raised his eyes and said angrily, "You don't know, the son of the Wu family already has someone else in his heart, he is extremely harsh and ruthless in the palace on weekdays, and he will beat and scold him at every turn for a trivial matter." We all persuaded Sister Gong to come back together, but she was an idiot, and no one could persuade her to be stupid. Ah Shi, now the palace box is in your hand, and you are the only one in this world who can cast a spell to lure her back! Shang said that he grabbed me with his backhand in a hurry.
"Sister Shang, don't worry, it's not a good thing to cast a spell with a box after all." I glanced out the window and carefully motioned to Shang not to raise his voice again, "Wu Hui suffered a lot when he was a child, and he may have been a little irritable because of his leg disease. But there is a general in the house, and he will be measured. ”
"General Wu doesn't live in Yongcheng anymore, the old daughter of the Zhao family failed to marry into the Qin State, and the general refused to marry the concubine of the Zhao family, so not long after Gongzi Li was named the prince, he asked himself to lead the troops to garrison the western frontier. There are only two people living in the mansion now, Wu Hui and Gong. Ah Shi, you ......"
"Sister Shang, I'll talk to you about the Qin State another day, and today you have to tell me everything you know about the Wei Kingdom." I interrupted Shang with a remark.
Shang looked at me and let out a long sigh of depression: "Mrs. Wuyin didn't give you the key to the Zhengua Lock Heart Tower, did she?" ”
I nodded silently. What is stored in the "Lock Heart Building" is the secret information collected and sorted out by Tianshu over the years, and the identity of A-Niang, the whereabouts of the medicine man, the information of Wu Feng, and the old things of defending the country may all be recorded in it. But there are two keys, one is in the hand of the hexagram master, and the other is in the hand of Wuyin, both of which are indispensable. Wuyin is unconscious now, and I can't open the door of the "Lock Heart Building" without her key.
"The most powerful person in the country is the Kong family, and when I was thirteen years old, I worked as ......a maid in Kong Wenzi's house," Shang pulled me to sit against the wall, slowly recalling her past.
Kong Wenzi is the former suzerain of the Kong clan of the Wei Kingdom, and he married the daughter of Wei Linggong and gave birth to the current head of the Kong clan, Kong Kui. Kong Kui and Wei Jun are cousins, who are well-known and courteous, and have great prestige in the court. On that day, I met several guards in the Lu Kingdom who were sent to Kong Qiu to learn the art of governing the country.
But what good is this hole for me?
While listening to the stories of Shang and the Confucian family, I was thinking about the breakthrough I wanted in my heart. At this time, Shang suddenly mentioned a person's name, Hun Liangfu!
"Hun Liangfu is a descendant of the Kong family, and he was born tall and handsome. When the old master was still alive, he and his mother often looked at each other in front of their servants. I heard that in the past few years, he has lived with his mother, and he has been in and out like an ordinary couple. ”
"Then Kong Kui fornicated with his servant by his mother?"
"Doctor Kong is benevolent and filial, hide your anger in your heart!"
"yes, that's a really hard breath...... I sighed, but in my heart it was like a rainy sky suddenly shining into the colorful sun. I instructed the merchant not to tell anyone about tonight's events, and then I picked up my robe and bamboo hat and hurried out to redeem the hexagram.
I lit the lamp, mixed the paint, and in less than half an hour I wrote a piece of parchment one foot square densely. After writing and reading through, I felt that it was inappropriate, and then I took out a box of cattails from under the bed, took one and engraved it crookedly with an arrow: "Hun lure it with a name, lure it with a bad life." ”
Early the next morning, after not sleeping all night, I handed over a list of weapons to Kuroko. Kuroko looked at me puzzled, he didn't want to leave me alone at this time. I smiled and tied a peace knot made of cattailgrass around his waist. I said, there is a war in the country, and you should be careful when passing by, so as not to bump into the soldiers and horses of Zhao Shizi of the Jin Kingdom.
