Chapter 17: Civil unrest in the barracks
Three days later, Mu Yu fell asleep as usual, but heard a noise of people outside the tent.
He crept to the door, lifted a corner of the curtain and peeked out, only to see that the doors of the tents were brightly lit.
Sikong Dong and Lu Bu stood facing each other, each leading a team of men and horses behind them, holding shields and swords, holding torches, reflecting the rows of sparkling armor, pouring out like black water, and Wu Yangyang filled the gap between the tents.
Lu Bu bowed slightly, sweat on his forehead slightly, and asked, "Lord Wang, what are you doing here?" ”
"You can't bring troops to reinforce the Zhou Warriors." Sikong Dong decisively blocked in front of Lu Bu.
"But General Zhou Warriors and Yu Wannian fought bloody battles in Xiliang River, waiting for us to lead the army to support."
Lu Bu's tone was soft, but his heart was so anxious that he was about to catch fire: Sikong Dong prevented the reinforcements of the Zhou Warriors, once Yu Wannian broke through the Xiliang River fortification, the tens of millions of troops in the camp could only withdraw the army, and Xiliang City was completely lost, and he would be convicted.
As an official, be careful, and you won't end up capsizing because of party disputes, right?
Sikong Tong sneered, looked at Lu Bu and asked: "Liangzhou City has been blocked for so long, how can Yu Wannian lead the army out of the city to attack today?" How do I know that the Zhou Warriors are not pretending to fight with Yu Wannian? ”
"Lord Wang", Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, his jaw fold tightened slightly, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"What I mean, Zhou Warriors sent troops, how can I guarantee whether I want to break through Xiliang, or if I want to conspire with Yu Wannian to rebel? Do you want to save the army from danger when you meet with the Zhou Warriors, or do you want to turn your back on the court and plot against Yu Wannian? ”
"Lord Wang!" Lu Bu was so anxious that his white beard trembled, his face was blue and his eyes were red, he wiped the sweat on his forehead slightly, and he was so anxious that he swore an oath, "If I have two hearts for the court, I will immediately thunder five thunders!" Five horses split into corpses! You can't die well in your life! ”
"The more ruthless you say, the less credible it is, this king will see that you will have a plot with the Zhou Warriors!"
Sikong Dong said, shouting "Arrest", and the people and horses behind him had already flown forward to tie up Lu with ropes.
Lu Bu's face turned pale with fright, and he was shouting "wronged" and retreating, only to see sixteen silver-shirted guards pouring out of the cracks in the surrounding tents like water, protecting Lu Bu's group. The leader is none other than Chi Lu.
Sikong Dong gloomily glanced at Chi Lu and the others, and sneered twice: "Isn't the emperor's nephew also going to interfere in the affairs of Liangzhou?" Have you colluded with the Zhou Warriors, or are you holding a grudge because of the Mo family's affairs and trying to frame this king? ”
"Prince", Chi Lu was as calm as ever, ignoring Sikong Dong's planting, "No matter what the purpose of my prince's lord, the prince must always think about the kindness of the court and the foundation of his ancestors. Xiliang's position is important, once it is lost, it is like tearing an opening on the road where half of the country is lost, the court blames it, and the prince doesn't feel uneasy about his conscience? ”
"Stop talking nonsense! The Zhou Warriors rebelled, and if you don't support him, you won't damage the foundation of your ancestors! ”
Sikong Dong said, shouted angrily, waved his fat hand, and the soldiers behind him couldn't wait to draw their swords and stab. Chi Lu rushed into the Sikong Dong people with a silver-shirted guard, and the generals of the Lu Department also rushed forward with their swords, and several torrents instantly converged and merged, screaming and killing, and for a while, the swords and swords were shining, and the voices were boiling, and the sparks jumped straight to the tips of the eyebrows and hair, and the blood splashed straight to the tent curtain.
Mu Yu's heart moved, and he immediately rushed out of the camp and rushed to the place where the beggars were being held.
Due to the chaos in the military camp, the camp tent where the beggars were held was unattended, Mu Mo went straight into it, and immediately saw Jing Bo and his party tied up in the camp tent, crowded and squeezed into a string and stuffed in the corner, surrounded by two thick ropes.
Hou Fuluo sat cross-legged in the middle of the crowd, and there were a few more scars on his cheekbones from the whipping.
Seeing this, Mu Yu knew that Hou Fuluo had suffered enough, and only hated that he didn't come to save people earlier.
Half drilled into the rope and quickly untied the rope on Hou Fuluo's body.
Hou Fuluo was very anxious because of the accident that day, and she was very worried that something would happen to her. Seeing her intact at this moment, I was surprised and delighted, and asked a little confused: "Why did you come?" ”
Mu Yu untied the rope while quickly explaining: "In the barracks, Sikong Dong and Sikong Heng's people are in a stalemate in the melee, Zhou Yu and Yu Wannian are fighting in Xilianghe, Lu is captured by Sikong Dong, no one cares about this for a while, I will come to save you." ”
"How did you get here? Where are you these days? Hou Fuluo broke free of the rope on his body, while helping the people around him untie the rope, while looking at Mu Yu's cheeks and the new clothes on his body, he muttered in his heart.
Since the accident on that day, she has disappeared for no reason, and when she sees it today, why is it so much more decent than before?
Mu Yu helped others untie the ropes, and explained in a few words: "After the accident, Sikong Heng has been hiding me in his tent. His parents have some connections with the Mo family, so they helped us, but he didn't tell you? ”
"No, I've been meeting him for a few days, and I haven't mentioned your whereabouts." Hou Fuluo untied seven or eight more people, staring at Mu Yu's clothes from time to time, there seemed to be a faint fragrance of magnolia flowers on the clothes, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
In the past few days, he has been facing severe torture, and he is not worried about his own life, but about Mu Yu's whereabouts. also questioned Sikong Dong and Sikong Heng, but they all said that they didn't know, but they didn't expect Sikong Heng to secretly help, and they were worried in vain.
Mu Mo opened his mouth, a little surprised. thought that Sikong Heng would inform Hou Fuluo of his whereabouts, but he didn't expect him to say a word. He wasn't afraid that Hou Fuluo would go around asking about his whereabouts and provoking the attention of Sikong Dong and Zhou Warriors?
The two sides looked at each other, each with their own concerns, and after a while, Hou Fuluo came back to his senses first.
Seeing that everyone had untied each other's ropes, he motioned for everyone to leave as soon as possible.
The beggars helped everyone out of the tent, and Hou Fuluo asked, "Do you know what the situation is outside these days?" ”
"Yu Wannian colluded with Sikong Dong privately, set up an ambush, let Sikong Heng live in the camp instead of Sikong Dong, and wait for your opportunity to kill Sikong Dong, and wipe you out", Mu Mo said, looking at Hou Fuluo meaningfully, "Begging to help the camp, Shen Banxian and the Lu Te brothers don't know where they went." Those two men are cunning, and if you escape, you'd better change places. ”
"We?" Hou Fuluo asked tightly, "Then where are you going?" ”
Mu Mo was silent for a moment, thinking of Hou Fuluo's concealment of the alliance for more than 10,000 years, and thinking of the whereabouts of the Ming Ghost and the jade pendant left in Yang Qi's place, as well as the matter of avenging the master, so he said: "You and I have different goals, it's time to act separately." ”
Hou Fuluo was stunned when he heard this, and for a while it was like five thunderbolts. As soon as he tried to speak, he heard the neighing of horses' hooves.
Following the prestige, I saw a large group of men and horses pouring out of the dark night, merging with the silver-shirted guards Lu Bu's men and horses, instantly subduing all the Sikong Dong men and horses, and surrounding the beggar gang, holding torches to block the military camp.
For a time, the lights inside and outside the barracks were bright, and it was like a daylight in the sky, so that people could not open their eyes.
