Chapter 369: Almost Assassinated
Backyard wing of the county government.
Liunu lay on the bunk, staring at the roof with big eyes without blinking.
Hua Tuo has already diagnosed her, her fever has subsided, her eyes have a little brighter, and her physical strength is slowly recovering, but she is still very weak at the moment, and she still can't get up. Liu Wei wanted to wait until she could walk on her own before leaving for Luoyang, I was afraid that she would need to delay in Gucheng for a little longer.
The door was gently pushed open, and Liu Wei and Guan Qing walked in from outside the house, one after the other.
Hearing someone enter the house, Liu Nu, who was lying on the bed, hurriedly turned his head and looked towards the door.
Seeing that it was Liu Wei and Guan Qing who entered the door, she propped her elbows on the mattress and tried a lot of strength to sit up. But her body was indeed too weak, and she couldn't sit up after holding on a few times, but she just leaned back her upper body slightly in pain, and looked helplessly at Liu Wei and Guan Qing who walked into the room.
"Lie down!" Seeing that Liu Nu wanted to sit up, Liu Wei hurriedly stepped forward, gently pressed her shoulders with both hands, helped her lie down, and said to her softly: "The body is still weak, there is no need to be so polite." ”
"It's not to greet His Highness!" Before Liu Bian's words fell, Liu Nu, who was lying on the bunk with his support, pouted, turned his gaze to Guan Qing, who was standing behind Liu Bian, and said in a very weak voice: "This Juci is with Sister Qing'er...... Greetings. ”
For many days, when calling Guan Qing, Liu Nu always called her "Sister Qing'er", and the two were indeed inseparable like sisters on weekdays.
In the past few days, Liu Nu has been sick, and Guan Qing has been taking care of her, which makes her feel a little guilty about Guan Qing in her heart.
When she first met Guan Qing, Liu Nu thought she was a man, and her young heart was secretly promised to Guan Qing, who was also a woman.
Later, when he learned about Guan Qing's identity as a woman, in frustration and helplessness, Liu Nu's attention shifted to Liu Wei's body. Especially when Liu Wei killed the Huns and rebellious soldiers who killed the people twice in a row, the killing aura that was all over her made her feel that the entire Huns might not be able to find such a heroic man again.
What's more, after she became ill, Liu Wei did not threaten her as before, but changed to a gentle appearance, so that her heart, which had not been fully opened, was secretly handed over to the king of Luoyang, who had killed her kindred, in a very short time.
Since he had Liu Wei in his heart, every time he saw Guan Qing, Liu Nu would secretly feel a trace of guilt. Guan Qing treated her very well, and she felt more sincere than the people who surrounded her all day long and served her when she was in the Huns.
But how can the relationship between men and women be affected in the slightest because of these?
was robbed by Liu Nu, Liu Wei did not feel unhappy because of this, but smiled slightly, and whispered to Liu Nu like a very caring brother: "The second good life will be raised, seeing that you are fine, this king will also be relieved." Qing'er stays here to talk to you, this king still has a lot of business to do, and he will come to see you in the evening. ”
"Hmm!" Retracted his gaze from Guan Qing and looked at Liu Wei who was kneeling next to the bed, as the second place in the Southern Huns, Liu Nu, who looked arrogant in the Huns, nodded very obediently and responded.
Leaving Liu Nu's room, Liu Wei waved to the soldiers who had come here with him, and instructed them: "Go to the county prison, this king will go and meet the two assassins who intend to murder Mr. Hua Tuo!" ”
"No!" A group of soldiers responded with their fists clenched, followed Liu Wei straight out of the backyard of the county government, and walked towards the main gate of the front yard.
The prison was built in a relatively remote part of the county, a few streets away from the county government.
Liu Wei wanted to leave the county government, and the Luoyang army, which was responsible for guarding the county government, wanted to gather a team and open the way for him, but was stopped by Liu Wei. Leading a few personal soldiers, Liu Wei left the county government without any delay, intending to go to the prison where the two prisoners were held.
The street where the county government is located is relatively deserted in the city, but due to Liu Wei's order to implement the strategy of reducing and reducing taxes for foreign merchants, the interests of merchants have increased, and many foreign merchants have rushed to Yin, Hongnong and Hedong counties in Henan to do business and make profits, and Zhuyang County, which is located on the border of Yin in Henan, is no exception.
The streets are full of people, and the doors of the shops on both sides of the street are wide open, ushering in the delivery of their livelihoods, and many hawkers set up stalls on the side of the street, selling some home-made clay pots, tools, mulberry hemp and other goods.
"The king of Luoyang is out!" As soon as Liu Wei left the county government, his feet had just stepped out of the threshold, and a shout came from the market, and then many people rushed towards the gate of the county government.
Perhaps in a hurry to crowd in front, some people even kicked over the stalls of roadside vendors when they ran, and for a while there was chaos in the streets.
When Liu Wei entered the city that day, although the people also watched, they were too far away from Liu Wei at that time, and some people felt that they were not very real.
At this time, Liu argued out of the county government, and in the eyes of the people, it was an excellent opportunity for them to take a closer look at the young king of Luoyang.
As soon as the people rushed in, just as they rushed towards Liu Bian, the Luoyang army, which had already received the secret orders of the officers and was ready in the county government, immediately rushed out of the county government and quickly formed a human wall to block the people from the periphery and prevent them from getting too close to Liu Bian.
At present, the situation is chaotic, and the people of the three places are grateful to the king of Luoyang who led them to a good life, but after all, among the people, it is easiest to mix in some outlaws with bad intentions, and it is precisely because of this that wherever Liu Wei exposes his identity, the soldiers of the Luoyang Army dare not slack off in protecting him.
The people in the market flocked to Liu Bian, and more than a dozen strong men also mixed in with the people and pushed forward, just when they saw that they were about to squeeze in front of Liu Bian, a group of Luoyang troops suddenly rushed out of the county government to block the people who were excited and rushed towards Liu Bian.
"Long live the King of Luoyang!" The people were blocked by the soldiers who rushed out of the county government, and the more than ten men who were mixed in the crowd, and their hands had already touched the short blade in their arms, but they suddenly had no chance, took the opportunity to shout loudly, took advantage of the situation to push the people in front of them, and hugged Liu Wei.
This shout was like throwing a huge boulder into the already not very calm water, and it stirred up a huge wave. After being blocked, the people who did not intend to continue to flock to Liu Wei instantly exploded, and shouted "Long live the King of Luoyang" one by one, exerting enough strength to rush towards Liu Bian, who was surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers.
The civilians who rushed to Liu Wei were full of excitement on their faces, and many of them even burst into tears with excitement, they were pushing and shouting loudly, and under the fanning of the more than ten men, their emotions rose to an uncontrollable height, and there was a sense of personality cult mixed in.
Looking at the people who were blocked by the officers and soldiers, Liu Wei was at a loss.
He didn't expect that his time as the king of Luoyang was not long, and he would let the people see him and have such excitement.
On the same day, Liu Wei entered the city, and the people on both sides of the road were blocked by the officers and soldiers of Luoyang.
Liu Wei didn't know that the reason why the people were so excited was that they admired him, and on the other hand, there were some hidden figures in the crowd who tried to be unfavorable to him and tried their best to fan the flames.
"Your Highness, go back to the county government quickly!" The tide of people pushed each other, seeing that they were about to break through the Luoyang army blocking their way, the officer who had previously said that he would prepare men and horses to open the way for Liu Wei clasped his fists and half-knelt in front of Liu Bian, and said earnestly: "It's too mixed here, Your Highness ...... it."
"Wait!" Looking at the civilians who were rushing towards him, Liu Wei raised his hand to stop the officer's words, turned around and looked around at the people who were shouting loudly and surrounding him, raised his arms high, and shouted: "Everyone be quiet, this king has something to say!" ”
The shouts of the crowd were too noisy, and Liu Wei's voice was soon drowned out by a shout of "King of Luoyang", he shouted several times in a row, his throat was a little dry, and the civilians at the front heard his voice.
"Don't shout! The king of Luoyang has something to say! A group of civilians who heard Liu Wei's shout hurriedly stopped pushing forward and shouted loudly at the people behind him.
Their shouts were much louder than Liu Wei's, and the people behind them gradually heard them, and the rioting crowd calmed down again.
Seeing that they were about to break through the human wall surrounded by the Luoyang Army, more than a dozen men hiding in the crowd were about to squeeze forward and take the opportunity to attack Liu Wei, when the crowd suddenly quieted down, making them feel a little disappointed.
The men who were standing in different directions of the crowd looked at each other from a distance, and the leading man slowly shook his head at the others, deciding to give up this opportunity to assassinate Liu Wei.
All of them knew that they had given up this opportunity, and if they wanted to find the same opportunity again, they would probably have to wait for a long time, and maybe there would be no longer any possibility of waiting.
But the people have stopped the noise, if these men fan the flames again at this time, intending to make the situation bigger, I am afraid that not only will it not have the effect of assassinating Liu Wei while the chaos is in chaos, but it will make them expose their identities.
The crowd quieted down, but the dozen or so men slowly withdrew from the crowd.
Liu Wei, who stopped a commotion, secretly congratulated that his words could bring the excited people back to their senses, but he didn't expect that just now, he was almost killed by a group of well-trained assassins.
Exiting the crowd, more than a dozen men in the distance could still hear Liu Wei shouting to the people, one of the men pursed his lips, spat on the ground, and scolded in a low voice: "This guy is so uninteresting, the general treats him like that, he is ......"
Before the man finished speaking, the leading man who walked in front glared at him fiercely, stared at him and hurriedly stopped talking, hung his head, and didn't dare to say more.
"I can't get close, I can't kill him!" The leading man lowered his voice while leading everyone forward, and said to the people behind him: "There are still two brothers in their hands, I will wait to rescue them tonight, if I can't save them......"
Before he finished speaking, the leading man glanced at the men who followed behind him, and in his eyes, a cold glint flashed in an instant.
Perhaps they had long been accustomed to this, but the men did not speak, but nodded silently with expressionless faces, obviously not taking the lives of the two arrested people in their eyes.
