Chapter 152: Escape
Chapter 152: Escape
As mentioned last time, Yu Linwei's men finally arrived, and they shot and killed the assassin who almost stabbed Liu Hou at the critical moment.
Yu Linwei's ship lowered the ramp, Liu Hou and Zhou Xue were quickly taken to the big boat, and a group of Yu Linwei gathered around them. It was only then that Liu Hou felt his heart hanging in the air fall.
The assassins hidden at the bottom of the sea had their own Yu Linwei's people to clean it up, and after the frightened Liu Hou and Zhou Xue sat down on the ship, Mi Zhao and Kong Ci both came to plead guilty. They are the head of Yu Linwei, and they are the head of security for this trip, and they are responsible for the assassination of the emperor.
"Forget it, it's not your responsibility, it's the enemy who is too cunning, but you have to be more careful in the future and do your work more carefully." Liu Hou waved his hand and said, these two people are still young, and they have just taken over Yu Linwei, and they are not very familiar with the work, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, and he should not be too harsh on them.
But there is no blame, it is still necessary to remind them, they are still too immature, and some things are indeed not good enough. If it was Zhao Tong, he would have people go into the water in advance and comb the bottom of the lake with fishing nets to make sure there were no ambushers below.
If it was Huang Xu, he could shoot an arrow to kill the assassin when he was far away, so that Liu Hou and Zhou Xue would not fall into a bitter battle, let alone be stabbed in the chest by each sword. Although he was protected by the inner armor and didn't suffer any injuries, it was not so uncomfortable to be hit in the chest by the force.
Both of them sincerely admitted their mistakes and listened attentively to the emperor's guidance and reminders. At the end, Mi Zhao said: "Please order the whole city to find out the assassin's accomplices." Wechen must do his best to find out who ordered this assassination. Be sure to let them get the punishment they deserve. ”
Liu Houdao: "Hmph! Do you need to find out who instructed someone to assassinate me? Now the people who want to die the most are nothing more than Cao Wei and Sun Wu, which can be guessed without checking and guessing. But it's better for you to investigate and search, there are too many details of these two countries hidden in our Great Han Kingdom. It's also good to let the people from the 'CIA' cooperate with you, sort it out well, and get rid of some of the hidden spies.
However, you must be measured, pay attention to the issue of individuality, don't disturb the people too much, don't just wronged good people, and don't let those who have intentions take the opportunity to frame, attack, and retaliate against people who usually have personal grudges with you. I don't want to be called a tyrant who is in prison. ”
"I don't want to engage in white terror and Na#Purism." Liu Hou added in his heart.
Liu Hou and Zhou Xue returned to the palace surrounded by Yu Linwei, and Guan Gong received the news and hurriedly ran to the gate of the palace to greet them. The so-called palace is nothing more than the expanded Jingzhou City Mansion, and Guan Ping also worked in the mansion, and Liu Hou simply invited him to stay in the mansion to live.
It was originally unruly for his generals to live in the palace, but Guan Gong was the emperor's second uncle, and Liu Hou also personally asked him to stay, so the other ministers naturally couldn't say anything. In fact, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, etiquette has collapsed, many rules have become rules, many things are the ruler's words, and many people just act according to the ruler's preferences.
"Is Your Majesty okay?" As soon as Guan Gong saw Liu Hou coming back, he immediately came up to greet him, after such a long time, he had become accustomed to calling Liu Hou His Majesty, and he no longer called him adou.
"Hehe, second uncle, don't worry, my nephew is fine. It's just a few young people, although I don't have the courage of ten thousand armies like you, second uncle, and you can subdue the opponent with a shock of the tiger's body, but it's still okay to deal with a few small fish and shrimp. Liu Hou laughed and entered the palace hand in hand with Guan Gong.
"His Majesty is the true dragon emperor, this dragon power is much more powerful than the so-called tiger power of the second uncle. However, you still have to be careful in the future, and you can't afford to miss a little bit of gold. "Who said that Guan Gong was proud and couldn't say good things, it depends on who he is against.
He naturally disdains to say good things about people he doesn't like, and he still praises people he values, such as a virtuous son-in-law like Liu Hou.
Although his words seem to be a sycophant on the surface, it does not mean that he is a person who slaps his beard and meets his expectations.
To see whether a person is a sycophant, it is not only necessary to look at the literal meaning of what he says, but also to see the motives of the person. The same nice sentence, if a person says it with the purpose of currying favor with the superior, and trying to please the superior to achieve the purpose of making himself go further or get more benefits, then he must be making a sycophant when he says it.
But like Guan Gong, he doesn't ask for anything, then he said this kind word is likely to be a true portrayal of his heart, and he may be really praising you. Guan Gong has a transcendent status in the Liu group, although he does not hold a position above 10,000 people like the prime minister, but he is the emperor's second uncle and father-in-law, holding more than 100,000 heavy soldiers, controlling the leader of such a large territory in Jingzhou, such a position is almost impossible to rise.
If he wants to go further, Liu Hou can only give him the title of king, but if Liu Hou really does this, then he is not far from death. The rules of the Han Dynasty were discussed by the king of the opposite sex. It is impossible for Guan Gong to want to be such a target, so he definitely won't want to pat Liu Hou's sycophants, so that Liu Hou can give him a step further and make him a king to play.
Liu Hou and Guan Gong entered the living room to chat, and Zhou Xue went to bathe and change clothes. The two of them had already changed into bloodstained clothes after they got on the boat, but for women, it was not enough to just change clothes, they had to put some flower petals, spices or something to bathe to wash away the smell of blood.
Liu Hou is naturally not so particular about being a big man, so he can enter the work state as soon as he comes back.
"The way to practice martial arts is to be diligent, as long as you practice diligently every day, your majesty's martial arts will definitely have a great day. If you want to learn the martial arts of the second uncle, why is it so difficult, it is better to start teaching the second uncle's sword skills to your majesty from tomorrow. ”
Guan Gong saw that Liu Hou was very envious of his world-class martial arts, and moved the idea of accepting apprentices. Guan Gong's set of sword techniques is infinitely powerful, how many generals have been defeated by his men, and there are more people who want to learn, he is not light on accepting apprentices, but he is very happy to teach Liu Hou, who is both a nephew and an emperor, and also a virtuous son-in-law.
"Well, second uncle, my nephew has been learning marksmanship from Uncle Zhao since he was a child, and I'm afraid I can't adapt to it for a while." Liu Hou heard Guan Gong say this, and hurriedly excused himself, firstly, he was really afraid that the martial arts of the two different factions of Zhao Yun and Guan Gong would conflict, and secondly, he had so much time to learn so many martial arts.
Martial arts is more of a fitness function for him now, and it is not his turn to be the emperor when he fights. If even he has to go into battle to kill the enemy, then what do you need so many generals to do? Moreover, in the era of firearms, the importance of martial arts is becoming less and less.
Of course, there is another advantage to practicing martial arts, just like this assassination, you can resist a few times in a short period of time and buy time for rescue. According to these two purposes, the martial arts of Zhao Yun's system that he has learned now are enough, and he has not learned all of Zhao Yun's martial arts, there is still a lot of room for improvement, if he really wants to practice Zhao Yun's martial arts well, it may not be as good as Guan Gong's sword skills.
"Hehe, too, Your Majesty, you have been practicing marksmanship since you were a child, and now you have been practicing marksmanship for at least ten years, and many habits have long been finalized, and it is difficult to change them for a while. It is true that marksmanship and knife skills are also very different, and it is very difficult to practice. Since that's it, Zilong's marksmanship is not bad, and he can become a first-class general if he practices well. ”
"However, the second uncle's ability cannot be passed on, it is better to go to the Han Longteng Academy as a professor and pass on what you have learned in your life to the students. In this way, we can ensure that our Han talents come out in large numbers, and secondly, the second uncle's peerless martial arts can also be well inherited, do you think this is good? ”
Guan Gong's mastery is not without inheritors, his sons Guan Ping and Guan Xing have obtained his true inheritance, as for Guan Suo since he was a child, he has been separated from him since he was a child, and when he recognized him, he had learned the superb martial arts of other famous teachers, after recognizing, Guan Gong also pointed out his martial arts, but his martial arts system has been formed, and he can only learn some of Guan Gong's moves, and some internal things cannot be learned, so he can only be regarded as half of Guan Gong's descendants.
In addition, Zhou Cang also gets his guidance from time to time, and he can be regarded as half of his heir. Guan Gong now has only two complete and two incomplete descendants. Moreover, these heirs are closely related to him, which is too little in Liu Hou's opinion, and the ability to resist risks is too low.
The so-called risk in resilience here refers to the risk of loss. In this era, it is popular to punish the nine clans, if the Shu Kingdom fails, or Guan Gong is convicted, his descendants are within the scope of the nine clans.
In other words, according to his model, his earth-shattering ghost and god martial arts will be easily lost. Therefore, Liu Houcai moved the idea of inviting him to teach martial arts at the academy. When the time comes, dozens or hundreds of disciples will be taught, and the peach and plum will be all over the world, and you can't kill them no matter how you kill them, are you still afraid of losing anything?
"It's just that the second uncle is in Jingzhou and can't go back to Chengdu for a while, how can he coach?"
Originally, Liu Hou was also worried that Guan Guild would have the idea of cherishing himself with a broom, and refused to teach martial arts to others, after all, people in this era are like that, most of the skills will only be passed on to their sons, not to outsiders, and there is even a rule of "passing on men but not women", even daughters are not passed on, for fear that they will bring their skills to their in-laws' house.
Unexpectedly, Guan Gong was not worried about this, but just said that he was afraid that he would work in Jingzhou and would not have time to return to Chengdu to pass on his art. It seems that Liu Hou's opening of the Dahan Longteng Academy and recruiting talented people from all over the world to teach knowledge has also changed many people's views.
Now many people in Shu no longer cherish themselves, but are proud of the peach and plum all over the world, and are proud of their skills to be more inherited.
