Chapter 39: Gongsun Shuzi (4)
Without the slightest fear, Zhao Houyou laughed lightly: "The look and movements when the knife is out are still rare as they were back then." It's just that things are people, and Dingshan is not Chifeng after all. ”
"Dong Yan is not Wang Qingzhong after all." With an expressionless face, Dong Yan's hand holding the knife was as steady as a rock: "I won't defect so easily, and I won't lose my life because of this." ”
"He lost his life? That's his own fault, his own death. Zhao Houyou raised his eyebrows: "Back then, you wanted to come up with a plan to surrender, and I entered Chifeng with you to persuade Wang Qingzhong to help." Who knew that the big thing would come out and make waves, and he wanted to help the rebels again. Such greed for life and fear of death on the wall of grass, the only way to kill it is to prevent future troubles. ”
With a sneer, Dong Yan withdrew the sharp knife, his aura was still fierce, and he was the same as when he was beside Wei Ye. The three of them sat down around the table, all of them on the verge of exploding. I clenched my hands very tightly in the shadows, and listened to Dong Run's seemingly leisurely appearance: "If this plan is against others, it is just for Dong Run." With such a repetition of the same trick, is Brother Zhao not afraid of mountains and tigers, or does he think that Dong Yan has a bad memory? ”
"How is this plan for you?" Zhao Houyou turned the teacup and took a sip: "This is the plan of the princess of Pingzhou." ”
Slightly surprised, Dong Yan looked at me and shook his head: "I should have praised the princess for a little bit the same as what I saw below, but this plan didn't work here in Dong Yan." He showed a look of reminiscence: "In the first battle of Chifeng that year, although the number of our army was different from the enemy, it was far from a huge disparity. At that time, I just didn't want to waste more time. And the princess's trip was a last resort, even if Dong Yan helped, there was no chance of winning. And General Wei Ye was suspicious, so there was no possibility of success. Getting up and wanting to leave, Dong Yan lowered his voice: "According to Dong Run's opinion, the two of you will tell yourself from this moment that the two of you are really here to come down, and there is nothing else." In this way, for the sake of the old friendship, Dong Yan can still try his best to save the lives of the two. ”
"Leap." Zhao Houyou called him and picked up the teacup: "Brother Minggan Wunei, I will give you a cup." No matter what the result is, what you say at this time is enough for Zhao Houyou. ”
I stood up silently and picked up the teacup as well. Dong Yan froze, turned around for a moment, but took Zhao Houyou's teacup and handed it over unmoved. The cups are lightly touched, and the tea is replaced by the wine, and the drink is all in one go.
After a moment's pause, Dong Yan took his leave. Before he could take a few steps to stand up, his body suddenly froze, covering his abdomen with one hand, and he quickly turned around, hitting the edge of the table with one hand, and the teacup cup was unstable and shaking. His face was full of disbelief, and I took another sip of tea in his suspicious gaze, and then raised my eyes to look at him: "General Dong Yan, is it okay?" ”
Falling on the chair, Dong Yan looked at Zhao Houyou again. Zhao Houyou moved his gaze, I knew that he couldn't bear it, and said softly: "Is General Dong thinking, obviously the teacup was used by Lord Zhao, and the tea was poured out of the same teapot, why Lingyue and Lord Zhao were fine, but the general was ...... Poisoned? ”
"Poisoned?" Dong Yan screamed in pain, and I saw that Zhao Hou's eyes were getting darker and darker, and finally sighed: "General Dong is really fortunate to have such a close friend as Lord Zhao, even if he is in the enemy camp, he still values love and righteousness. Lord Zhao, drink the antidote with General Dong. Let's be open and honest and talk carefully. ”
After recovering his spirit a little, Dong Yan became more vigilant, and was quite threatening: "How did the princess do it after all?" I chuckled, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, and said without answering: "General Dong just thinks that Lingyue's plan is an axe in front of the general, but since Lord Zhao is here, how can we leave it as it is, and set up the drum and thunder gate?" From the very beginning, Ling Yue did not expect General Dong to agree directly. Lingyue knew that General Dong was as meticulous as a hair and meticulous. When he saw Lord Zhao turning the cup in his hand, he would immediately think that the tea was poisonous. But Lingyue and Lord Zhao drank it calmly, and the general naturally thought that it was poison on the cup. This kind of carving insect skill can't hide from General Dong's insight. ”
"Could it be ......" gradually reflected, Dong Yan looked incredulous again, I nodded: "Yes, the tea is poisoned, just in case, the wall of the cup is indeed coated with venom." I, like Lord Zhao and General Dong, were also poisoned. It's just that this poison has been cured before it hits. ”
"Take your own bait and risk yourself." Dong Yan's eyes were a little appreciative and a little at a loss: "The princess is very human." After collecting his thoughts, Dong Yan was calm again: "It's just that if the princess thinks that if she gives a small favor to Dong Run, Dong Yan will rebel, she will despise Dong Yan too much." I was not shocked, he got up slowly, and gave up his hands resolutely: "It's Dong Yan who can't stand the princess, and the princess will recognize Dong Yan as a wolf-hearted dog lung, and she will take revenge." After the incident, Dong Yan will ask the mage to spend the requiem for the princess. After that, he lowered his head and turned around and strode forward. I watched him coldly as he walked to the door, and was about to speak, but there was a muffled sound beside me.
Zhao Houyou fell to the ground in pain, in a cold sweat. I hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, reflecting for a moment and exclaiming, "You haven't taken the antidote?" ”
I don't seem to be in a panic, Zhao Hou's painful expression is completely true, Dong Yan stood in place for a long time, and walked back. Regardless of his precaution and refusing to squat, I was anxiously puzzled: "Why is Lord Zhao bothering?" Why don't you take the antidote ahead of time? "If the princess gives it to Brother Zhao now, it will be okay to think about it." Speaking indifferently, Dong Yan watched from the wall. I hurriedly said: "In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I only brought one antidote, where can I find the excess now?" Looking down at Zhao Houyou, I sighed, "Why is Lord Zhao like this?" ”
"Although, though each is its master...... But Dong Yan is my brother. With severe pain in his abdomen, Zhao Houyou could still laugh out loud: "It's already difficult to poison him, if I stay out of the matter and only poison him, wouldn't it be a violation of the oath of sharing weal and woe back then?" Dong Yan was slightly moved, but he still just looked at Zhao Houyou and didn't say a word. Zhao Houyou smiled bitterly: "Since you left your hometown, although you and I haven't seen each other for several years, we have always exchanged letters, and we are as close as ever." When I learned that you were in Dingshan and I went to Xingzhou, I was really happy. Unexpectedly, goodbye turned out to be such a scene. I know that you have a pure heart, and you will not easily disobey one thing if you recognize it. Therefore, I listened to the princess's plan, but I felt more. I also know that you will not change your mind because of small profits, I want to be hard-hearted and don't care about your life and death, but I can't treat you coldly after all. ”
"Houyou......" Dong Yan leaned over to support Zhao Houyou, and I retreated silently. I recommend myself on this trip, not only for Xingzhou, but also for you. Zhao Houyou insisted reluctantly: "You know better than me how Wei Ye behaves." I'm most afraid that after he succeeds, he will cross the river and tear down the bridge and attack you. If I come, I will warn you of this, but if others come, they will not take care of it. Ah Yan," he sighed heavily, "we were born on the same day, and we are like brothers, but I didn't expect me to go one step earlier." ”
"No......" Dong Yan panicked, holding Zhao Houyou steadily, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out. You've been away from home for years...... Aunt always wants you to be tight. Don't forget to check back when you're free. Zhao Houyou closed his eyes slightly: "Aunt's leg is about to heal, the man I am looking for is good, and the medicine money has already been paid in advance...... I want to come and wait for you to return to your hometown, and my aunt will be healed......"
"No......" Dong Yan had tears in his eyes, his hands trembled very much, and he suddenly froze after hearing Zhao Houyou's words. And also...... My uncle once said that Wei Ye saved him, but that day I was walking with General Yang Kan, but my uncle pointed to General Yang Kan and called for a life-saving benefactor...... Wei is very ambitious, don't want it, and be used by it again......"
Zhao Houyou fainted, and I covered my lips silently. Dong Yan's whole person seemed to be still in place, and it took a long time before he moved, moving Zhao Houyou to the inner bed. I was silent for a long time, and said weakly: "The matter has come to this, and Lingyue has nothing to say." General Dong wants to deal with Lord Zhao and Lingyue, listen to it. ”
"Tell me what you're going to do." Before I finished speaking, Dong Yan followed up with the inquiry. I was slightly stunned, he took the trouble to ask again, and we suddenly explained Huan Ke's plan and discernment, and said: "Therefore, Lingyue and Lord Zhao hope that General Dong will help and mix poisonous water into the cavalry's diet." ”
"But where is the poisoned water? You have been searched when you entered the city, not to mention the poisonous water, it is impossible to bring in the smallest poison pills, so how can you ......" Saying that, he felt suspicious, Dong Yan thought for a moment and turned to look at the wooden boxes. I whispered, "Poisoned water is not ready-made, it needs to be made." General Dong has tried it himself, and the effect of Baiguo is immediate. ”
I began to soak the ginkgo seeds in the inner room, because some of them had been broken when pressed flat on the bottom of the wooden box, and the effect should be more significant. Dong Yan didn't know how to avoid others, and brought the three of Guangqi to help. When I wiped the water on my palm, he leaned closer and whispered: "Princess, forgive Dong Yan for being suspicious." You really don't know that this is the case? ”
I took the silk to the tip of my nose and sniffed it, looking back at him: "It doesn't matter if I know it or not. The important thing is that Lord Zhao himself is willing. He is betting on the friendship between him and General Dong, betting that General Dong is still the affectionate and righteous Dong Yan he knows, and he is betting that the general can distinguish the situation and abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Even if I were aware, the fear of blocking would be greater than the certainty of victory. is not like Lord Zhao, who treats the general with greater confidence than himself. ”
I looked at Zhao Houyou, who was still frowning tightly in a coma, and smiled lightly at Dong Yan, who was stunned: "Even if this is a bitter plan, the truth contained in it is far more than the calculation that should have been." ”
Calculating that the time was enough, Dong Yan and I fished out the ginkgo and poured the remaining water into the prepared teapot. When he was doing automatically, the outer door was unceremoniously slammed, and it was not Wei Ye who was angry outside: "Lord Zhao, Princess Pingzhou, as well as General Dong and several other brothers, are they all in the room?" ”
Everyone froze, I held my breath and listened to Wei Ye push the door in, and his rough voice reached the inner room: "I ordered General Dong to come to visit the two, but I didn't expect that General Dong and his old friend were quite considerate, and he never came back all morning. It seems that General Ben wants General Dong to give gifts to Lord Zhao and the princess, or ...... in person"
