As soon as Deng Zhan lifted the mattress on the cover, there were several "click" sounds in the room, accompanied by the "click" sound, and he saw that in the corner of the room, a shirtless person lit a fire and lit the fire candle on the corner candlestick.

Glaring at the person who lit the candle, Deng Zhan was about to rush towards the person, but the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and more than a dozen soldiers in armor with long swords in their hands immediately rushed in.

"You're looking for this king, not him!" More than a dozen people rushed into the house, and Liu Wei, who was standing at the front and wearing the clothes and armor of his own soldiers, frowned slightly, and said to Deng Zhan, who was holding a long sword and was about to rush towards the personal soldiers who were about to light the candles: "What Your Excellency just said, this king has heard it clearly......

Hearing Liu Wei speak, Deng Zhan stopped his figure, turned around suddenly, and looked at him coldly with a long sword in his hand.

The person who lit the candle was the soldier who had been called into the house by Liu Wei before.

Only then did Liu Wei call this pro-soldier into the house, put on his armor, and went out to call another pro-soldier to pretend to go to the outer courtyard, in order to lure Deng Zhan into the room.

It was also this Deng Zhanyi who was bold and bold, and he had never met an opponent with such a delicate mind, and he didn't pay too much attention to Liu Wei, so he fell into the encirclement.

The soldiers in the corner, lit the candles, and walked towards the door with their backs to the wall. He faced Deng Zhan, rubbing towards the door, while keeping an eye on Deng Zhan's movements, and guarding against Deng Zhan's sudden attack on him at any time.

To Liu Wei's surprise, Deng Zhan had every chance to attack him when the soldiers were rubbing along the wall towards the door, but Deng Zhan didn't do that.

"Your Excellency just said that you don't want to kill this king?" Originally, Liu Wei wanted to lead people to surround Deng Zhan and then kill him on the spot, but when he found out that Deng Zhan was not here to assassinate him, but seemed to have other things to do, he dispelled that idea and asked Deng Zhan who was trapped in the house: "Since you are not here to kill this king, why did your Excellency visit secretly?" ”

"His Royal Highness occupies the east of the river, and he is still quite benevolent to the people, so there is really no reason to assassinate His Highness!" Holding the long sword, Deng Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Liu Wei and said: "I came here today, just to ask His Highness a few questions, but now that I have become a trapped beast, I am not qualified to ask again." ”

"Since you are not an assassin, you can ask your doubts in your heart." Deng Zhan said that he was just here to ask a few questions, Liu Bian felt a strange feeling in his heart, the candlelight was reflected on the face of Deng Zhan who was dressed in black, from his expression, Liu Bian did not see the slightest concealment, so he made a gesture to him and said: "But if this king can answer, he will solve your doubts." ”

"Your Highness, this person ......" More than ten people entered the house, and there were more than 100 personal soldiers outside to surround the room, even if Deng Zhan had the ability to fly away, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape, and a personal soldier who entered the house with Liu Wei was worried that the time would be delayed for a long time, and there would be branches, and he opened his mouth to remind Liu Wei to start quickly.

Without waiting for the soldier to finish speaking, Liu Wei raised an arm, stopped his words, looked at Deng Zhan standing in the room and said: "Here are all the king's personal entourage, Your Excellency has something to say, just ask." ”

"In the city of Anyi, the people and the officers and soldiers are safe!" Holding a long sword, Deng Zhan straightened up and said to Liu Wei: "Most of the villages outside the city are newly built, and when it comes to His Royal Highness, no one can help but say a good word." There is one thing that is not clear, Cai Yong's daughter has a marriage contract with the second son of the Hedong Wei family, why did His Royal Highness snatch people's love and rob people's brides? ”

"This king and Zhao Ji are in love, how can they win people's love?" As soon as Deng Zhan's words fell, Liu Wei pursed his lips and said to him: "That Wei Zhongdao is weak, even if this king lets go and lets Zhao Ji marry into the Wei family, he can't grow old with him. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Wei showed a faint smile and asked Deng Zhan rhetorically: "Your Excellency came to visit late at night to ask about these?" ”

After listening to Liu Bian's explanation, Deng Zhan's brows were tightly twisted, and after a while, he inserted the long sword into the sheath, raised his hands flatly, and said to Liu Bian: "I came late at night, although I didn't want to assassinate His Highness, but I committed a capital crime. Now that he has fallen into the bureau set up by His Highness, he is already alive and dead. His Royal Highness only orders people to do it, and he will never resist! ”

When Deng Zhan said this, Liu Wei muttered to a personal soldier on the side, and motioned for the personal soldier to kill Deng Zhan.

The pro-soldier nodded, walked towards Deng Zhan with the long sword, and when he arrived in front of Deng Zhan, the pro-soldier raised the long sword high with both hands and slashed it towards the top of his head.

The moment the long sword was slashed, Liu Wei saw Deng Zhan's eyes wide, but he didn't blink, and he really didn't mean to resist.

"Wait!" The long sword was about to slash above Deng Zhan's head, and Liu Wei suddenly shouted.

The soldiers who were holding the sword and slashed at Deng Zhan heard the shouting, and it was too late to collect the sword, so he hurriedly deflected the long sword, and although the blade avoided Deng Zhan's head, it slashed from his left shoulder.

The sharp blade slashed over his shoulder, and Deng Zhan's left shoulder suddenly bled profusely. The crimson blood flowed bleakly, and in an instant, the clothes on his shoulders turned red, and under the light of the candlelight, they took on a dark color.

"Stop the bleeding for Mr.!" shouted to the other two soldiers behind him, Liu Wei arched his fist to Deng Zhan and said: "Mr. doesn't want to assassinate this king, and this king has no reason to kill Mr., until the soldiers stop the bleeding for Mr., please leave Mr." ”

"Your Highness is not afraid that someone will find out the truth and come back to assassinate him?" Liu Wei said that he would let him go, Deng Zhan frowned tightly, looked at Liu Wei with a puzzled face, and asked him.

"Find out the truth, I'm afraid Mr. won't want to kill this king!" Liu Wei pouted and smiled, watching the two soldiers who walked towards Deng Zhan take out some dry Panax notoginseng powder from their arms and sprinkled the powder on Deng Zhan's shoulder.

Turning his head to see the two soldiers tearing the clothes off his shoulders and sprinkling some powder, Deng Zhan's brows were tightly twisted, and his eyes flashed with an extremely strange look.

The two soldiers sprinkled the powder, and saw that the wound on Deng Zhan's shoulder stopped bleeding, so they took two steps back and stood aside.

The blood on his shoulder stopped, Deng Zhan took off the long sword from his waist, walked to the wooden frame where Liu Wei hung his armor with both hands, put the long sword on the wooden frame, and then turned around and hugged his fist and said to Liu Wei: "I put the long sword in His Highness's place today, and I will go to find out the truth tomorrow." If what His Highness said is true, he will turn back and apologize for his sins with death! If His Highness is deceived by a certain person, a certain person will use this sword to take the head of His Royal Highness! ”

"Presumptuous!" As soon as Deng Zhan's words fell, a personal soldier standing behind Liu Wei shouted: "If you dare to be rude to Your Highness, I will rush up and cut you into powder in an instant!" ”

Deng Zhan didn't pay attention to the pro-soldier, but the corners of his mouth tugged at the corner and smiled coldly.

Liu Wei waved his hand, stopped the pro-soldier who was speaking, arched at Deng Zhan with his fist, and said to him: "Sir, just go and check, this king is waiting here!" ”

After speaking, Liu Wei stepped aside and shouted to the soldiers inside and outside the house: "Make way for Mr." ”

Deng Zhan had already been surrounded, although he was reluctant, but the soldiers did not dare to disobey Liu Wei's order, and they still retreated to both sides, leaving a way out for Deng Zhan in the house.

Holding his fists and arching towards Liu Wei, Deng Zhan raised his feet and walked outside the house.

Walking to the door, he glanced at the hundred or so soldiers standing outside, didn't say anything, and the speed under his feet increased a little.

Walking quickly to the corner, he jumped forward, grabbed the high wall with both hands, and with a force of his arms, the whole person jumped up the high wall, and then disappeared into the night.

Looking at the back of Deng Zhan's departure, Liu Wei already understood in his heart why he showed such a cold smile just now, with Deng Zhan's skills, although Liu Zhan was prepared just now, but if he really wanted to assassinate, in the small room, the personal soldiers beside him still could not resist his attack.

In order to contain Deng Zhan, Liu Wei mobilized all the pro-soldiers in the county government, and such a big movement could not hide from the other people living in the mansion.

A small number of servants and maids in the palace heard the sound of their own soldiers running outside, and they were already frightened and did not dare to go out.

And Cai Yan, who lived next door to Liu Wei, walked out of the room after hearing the voice.

Standing behind a group of pro-soldiers outside the house, Cai Yan listened to every word that Liu Wei and Deng Zhan said in the house. In the past, she only knew that Wei Zhongdao was a talented man in Hedong, but she had never heard of him being weak.

After Liu Wei said this, she had vaguely felt that she had regretted her marriage at will, and the idea that she couldn't resist Wei Zhongdao was gone, and at this moment, her heart was already calm.

"Your Highness!" After Deng Zhan left, Liu Wei led a few soldiers out of the house, and when he arrived at the door of the room, Cai Yan called him softly and said to him: "There are some things in the slave family, can you talk to Your Highness." ”

Looking up at the moon that was about to rise in mid-air, Liu Wei said to Cai Yan: "It's getting late, Zhao Ji should rest early, and it's not too late to talk about it early tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing that Liu Wei was prevaricating under the pretext of getting late, Cai Yan pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, just blessed him and turned back to her room.

More than 100 pro-soldiers dispersed, Liu Wei led a few pro-soldiers on duty at night to the lotus pond, looked at the wall that Deng Zhan had climbed over when he left just now, and said to the pro-soldiers who followed him: "The person who came is a chivalrous man who walks the world, if you talk about swordsmanship, I am afraid that there are few people in the army who can compare with it." You must be cautious, if you see him coming to the county government again, don't come forward recklessly, you must shout loudly, gather enough manpower before you can capture him! ”

"No!" When Liu Wei spoke, his expression was extremely serious, and his tone was also very heavy, and the soldiers standing behind him did not dare to be careless, and responded with their fists in unison.

The evening breeze swept through the backyard, and the calm lotus pond was blown by the wind, and the water surface set off a circle of ripples. Not far from the lotus pond, there are a few weeping willows, the willow trees in summer, the silk silk is full of verdant green leaves, and the long willow sways gently in the wind, just like a naughty child, is grabbing the willow back and forth.

The night was already deep, except for a few personal soldiers who followed behind him, and in the huge backyard of the county government, there was no one who left the room and walked out.

Turning his head to look at Cai Yan's room, Liu Wei waved his hand to several pro-soldiers behind him, and said to them: "It's okay at the moment, you don't have to accompany this king!" ”
