Chapter 21: Night Terror
Lai Shi is a fellow villager of Chen Gong, a native of Dongwuyang, Naidong County, and a Kwantung faction who has followed Chen Gong to Liangzhou from Yanzhou. Now he came to report to the Chen Palace, saying that when he saw Zhao Ang quietly entering Shi Xun's tent, the two would collude with each other, and built a Chen Palace to send an assassin to take Shi Xun's life. In this way, not only can Chen Gong's henchmen be removed, but since he kills hostages, Cao Cao will inevitably refuse to send grain and straw according to the original agreement, and there will definitely be another dispute between Cao and Lu - isn't this very much taking advantage of Chen Gong's intentions?
Chen Gong waved his hand again and again: "In the army, things may not be possible. And regardless of success or failure, General Lu will be suspicious. ”
Lai Shi said that during the march, there was naturally no chance to start, but when he returned to Ji County, Lu Bu's base camp, it would be more convenient - "There are dead soldiers under my tent, and Shu people are also, but Liu Bei can be blamed too much-why Liu Xuande doesn't want to kill Xunye?" ”
Chen Gong's eyebrows were tightly locked, his back hand lingered, and it took a while before he finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said in a low voice: "This matter still needs to be carefully planned, and it will be foolproof......
Of course, Shi Xun did not know the conspiracy of Chen Gong and Lai Shi, and Zhao Ang and Zhao Weizhang came to visit each other that day, on behalf of the Liangzhou faction headed by Yang Fu, and officially communicated with Shi Xun - the Liangzhou scholars did not have the intention of being outside the imperial court, Lu Bu was in chaos and destroyed Han Sui, they supported, Lu Bu wanted to argue with the imperial court, but they always tried their best to dissuade them. Shi Xun took Zhao Ang's hand and said, "Qing and others are loyal, even Duke Wei also knows it. However, Chen Gong is here, and I am afraid that Liangzhou will not be at peace. ”
Zhao Ang said that we often admonished General Lu in front of him and asked him to distance himself from Chen Gong, and we have seen certain results. But General Lu is more nostalgic, and Chen Gongtai has been with him for so long after all. If there is no obvious reversal. I'm afraid that Lu Bu can't bear to depose him immediately-"Don't worry about it." However, it will take time. ”
Shi Xun shook his head and said that once we return to Liangzhou, Wei Gong's grain will be delivered, and when the Liangzhou soldiers are full of food, once they catch up with a good harvest this autumn, I am afraid that Chen Gong will be ready to move again - "You must go immediately, and you can't delay it!" ”
In fact, Xun originally didn't have any ill feelings towards Chen Gong, and he didn't have the temperament of being retrieval like Fa Zheng. And in terms of the reputation of later generations, Chen Gongtai is half a tragic hero (although mainly because of the bleaching of romance). Even if he had to fight against Chen Gong because of the disagreement between his camps, he didn't have to get rid of him and be happy-Yuan Cao was the enemy, and he also saved Fu Zhi; In the internal party struggle, he also saved Xun Yu. But seeing that the Cao family's shape is very good, and it is not far off for the world to return to unification, but because of Chen Gong's paranoia, it will make waves again, which Xun can't bear. A few days ago, he directly scolded Chen Gong to death, and this time he had Zhao Ang and others to help. simply planned to completely knock down Chen Gong and step on 10,000 feet. that he will never be able to turn over!
So the two discussed for a long time and drew up multiple plans to shake the status of Chen Gong in Lu Bu's mind, and then Zhao Ang resigned. Shixun was very bored in the Liangzhou army, and he really couldn't do anything except write a few letters to his family, with the heart of An Yuan's family in Anyi. Moreover, during the military march, there was a time to start and end, and he never had a chance to sleep lazily, for many days, he was sleepy, and even his gradually plumping cheeks were lost again.
Finally, he finally arrived in Ji County - Liangzhou Prefecture was governed by Longxian County, but it was within the reach of the Qiang Chaos and the city was ruined, so after Lu Bu entered the Liang, it was changed to Hanyang County and Ji County. At first, Chen Gong was the Taishou of Hanyang, and later because of the advice of Yang Fu and others, Chen Gongtai was driven to Anding County, and Yang Fu was used to guard Hanyang with his younger brother Yang Yue.
This time he returned, Yang Yue led the civil and military forces to stay in the city for twenty miles to greet him. Lu Bu deliberately rode forward with Shixun and introduced Shixun to Yang Yue. Yang Yue bowed and saluted: "The prince has a letter, go down to the county, and sweep the couch to welcome the servants." Lu Bu shook his horsewhip and asked casually, "Where do you live?" "Yang Yue replied, didn't you fall in love with the mansion on the street next to the state office? I've already bought it, and I've just finished cleaning, and I haven't had time to repair it, so I just asked the waiter to live temporarily.
Lu Bu smiled when he heard this: "Then Yao Lao'er finally knows what happened, and is he willing to sell his house?" Then he told Shixun how wide the house was, although it was old, there were many houses, as long as it was slightly repaired, it was not inferior to the mansion in the capital - "I have coveted it for a long time." Shi Xun seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zhao Ang, Zhao Ang understood, and bowed slightly.
So yes and Lu entered the city together, and Yang Yue had already set up a banquet in the state office to wash the dust for the distant generals. Chen Gong refused to attend under the pretext of being unhealthy, and Lu Bu snorted coldly when he heard the report: "Allow him to rest for five days, and then he can return to settle down." ”
The guests enjoyed themselves and drank until dark, but Xun felt that the wine was on the rise and he was a little drunk, so he resigned from the table and went to the temporary residence guided by Yang Yue. Sure enough, it was only one street away, and when I came to the door, there were already more than a dozen servants and maids who opened the door to greet them. Shi Xun got off the horse, looked at them one by one, and immediately said Yang Yue with a smile from the wine: "I don't want to be in a remote place in Liangzhou, there is still good color, hahahaha~~"
Yang Yue replied with a smile: "These are all the old people in my lord's inner house, how dare you not choose the best one?" Shi Xun leaned closer to him and asked with a shy face, "General Guojilu 'old man in the inner house'?" The words "inner" and "old" were deliberately emphasized. Yang Yue hurriedly bowed his hand: "I am very strict in presiding over the body, and now I am serving the monarch, and I am all done." ”
These days in the Liangzhou army, Shi Xun has been in contact with the generals, and occasionally chatted with some pawns, and inquired about a lot of Lu Bu's secrets. Lu Fengxian is not like the legend of Romance, he has a wife surnamed Ren, and a beautiful concubine Diao Chan (there are also people who combine these two into one), the original surname is Wei, and she is the sister of the general Wei Xu. It is said that the husband and wife are very affectionate, and Mrs. Wei is jealous by nature, so Lu Bu only has one wife and does not take concubines.
But this does not mean that Lu Bu is a single-minded model husband, although his wife is strict, he neither dares to take concubines nor attack the maids in the house, but often finds opportunities to fornicate with the wives and concubines of subordinate generals - this matter is well known in the Liangzhou army, and it is only hidden from the husbands of Mrs. Wei and those mistresses. It is estimated that when the generals see each other, they often inevitably laugh at the fact that most of their colleagues are kings, but they don't know that their heads are already green.
In fact, this matter is not only in the Liangzhou army, but also heard about it when he was still in Xudu and Anyi. In the original history, it is said that Cao Cao captured Lu Bu in the White Gate Tower, and Lu Bu also complained: "The generals are also thick, and the generals are all rebelling against Bu'er in an emergency." As a result, Cao Cao was dumbfounded with a word - "Qing betrays his wife and loves the generals' wives, why is it thick?" ”
In the original history, Lu Bu finally made a lot of rebellion and divorce, which may indeed be related to his fornication with his wife. It's Xun Xin who said that I don't know where you will end up on this timeline - Cao Cao is also a good wife, but he is looking for the surviving and divorced, and is willing to enter the mansion and give a name, you Lu Fengxian is heavier, and you also eat grass on the edge of the nest, this private virtue is really corrupted to a certain extent......
Yang Yue's words just now were hinting, saying that Lu Bu's order was very strict, and the maidservants in the family did not dare to move, so this time they were sent to serve you and you were all virgins, if you need anything, just go to the bed - taking concubines is a common thing among scholars, not to mention just some maidservants?
When Shixun heard this, he couldn't help licking his lips, and said in his heart that I have been away from home for a long time, but I do need this aspect, and this is not stealing or robbing, others took the initiative to send it to the door, the world is far away, and the wives can't find out, hehehehehe......
After a while, I finally decided - forget it. If Lu Bu wants to give these maidservants used by Lao Tzu as ancestral materials directly, then there will be no way to get them...... And his own thinking is beyond this era, and he is not used to using women as a tool to just vent **. After a long time, he also felt that he had gradually assimilated into this era, and his thinking gradually slipped towards the feudal scholar class, but fortunately, he could still remind himself from time to time that he should not sink to the bottom of this sauce jar.
The two of them exchanged heads in front of the mansion, and it seemed that they had no plans to enter the door for the time being. At this moment, suddenly a figure burst out in the shadow of the wall, rushed forward, grabbed Yang Yue away, and something in his hand flashed under the torchlight in front of the door, and it was already between Shixun's chest and abdomen!
Yes Xun let out an "ahhhh Immediately, Shi Xun turned around and shrank behind Jing Junxiao, who was originally following behind him. The figure seemed to be slightly stunned, and then threw himself into Jing Yunxiao's arms, Lao Jing snorted, and fell backwards with a blade in his abdomen.
But just like that, it was so slow that Shi Xun "Oh Oo" took three steps back, and had already widened the distance between the two, and at the same time, the rest of the troops and soldiers rushed up, each with their own blades, and surrounded the assassin. Only then did I see that the man was not burly, but his face was very hideous, wrapped in tight black clothes, and he was holding a bloody dagger in his hand. At this moment, he knew that he couldn't help it, and he shouted angrily: "Evil thief, take my master's house, I can't kill my ear!" ”
Before the crowd could pounce on him to restrain him, they saw black blood coming out of his ears and nose, and then his whole body fell to the ground and rolled and struggled, as if he was in extreme pain. Yang Yue boldly took a step forward and asked, "Is it Yao Lao Envoy Ru Laiye?" The assassin glared at Yang Yue angrily, and only said "Hehe" in his mouth, and fluttered twice more, and finally did not move.
On the one hand, Yang Yue protected Shi Xun and hurriedly retreated into the house, and on the other hand, he made people report to Lu Bu urgently. Half of the family members followed closely with Xun, and half came to see Lao Jing's injuries - fortunately, the dagger was not deep into the flesh, and it was not quenched, just some flesh wounds.
When Lu Bu heard the news, the banquet had not yet dispersed, and even led Jiang Xu, Zhao Ang, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Cao Xing and others to gallop on horseback. When he entered the house and saw Shixun, he saw that the lord in the middle of the house had a pale face, as if he had been greatly stimulated, and he couldn't speak—no longer the suave and eloquent attitude of the past. Lu Bu had to apologize: "The servant was frightened, and the cloth was wrong." Then he turned his head and glared at Yang Yue angrily: "How do you do things?" Quickly find the old thief of the Yao family, I will solve the hatred with the blade! (To be continued......)
ps: Today's two shifts, but I know that I am not a promiser!
The assassin recruited on Weibo a few days ago also officially appeared, and it was instantly bento, everyone applauded and said goodbye - winter snow Feifei summer thunder shock, Mr. Lei Zhen, please go!
