Chapter 168: Action
Luoyang, in the barracks, "bang", the wine jug smashed on the ground, making a crisp sound, and the wine splashed everywhere.
Several officers knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out, even if they were splashed on their faces with wine, they didn't dare to reach out and wipe them.
"Damn, I didn't expect my eldest brother to be so frustrated, but I'm his own brother, and I'm really ruthless." The second son was furious, "I'll forget it, the little sister is innocent, why assassinate her together?" There is also Qin Cha present, does he want to bring ruin to Luoyang? The more the second son spoke, the more angry he became, and he smashed two more wine jugs.
"Childe is angry," someone immediately seized the opportunity to persuade, "According to reliable information, the eldest prince was also seriously injured in this assassination. The subordinates thought that it shouldn't be him, right? ”
"Foolish, you!" The second prince wanted to slap this subordinate in the face, "If he wasn't assassinated, I couldn't tell that it was him." Although it is said that ninety percent of the Luoyang garrison is under my hands, the duty of guarding Luoyang does not dare to relax for a day. Here in Luoyang, your soldiers are all elite generals selected from various places, how can it be possible for so many assassins to infiltrate the city. If it weren't for the eldest brother directing and acting in a play, how could he have been assassinated and seriously injured? ”
"Yes, the son is wise, and the subordinates are dull." The man said hurriedly.
"Useless waste! In the past few days, I have been given a little more energy, and the manpower of Xiaomei and Qincha has doubled! By the way, send someone to 'protect' the eldest brother, since he has made such a big incident, how can he be worthy of him if he doesn't use the topic to play it? The second son thought for a moment, then turned his head and ordered.
Luoyang City, the Grand Prince's Mansion.
"Childe, this assassination is really too much, no matter who it is, you must not let him go. Childe, your subordinates know that you care about your brotherhood, but this time, if your subordinates find out that it was really the second son, then your subordinates can only turn their faces and be ruthless. I also asked Childe to make a decision early. ”
"That's right, Gongzi, in addition to the second son, the behavior of the imperial court is also very suspicious, and the subordinates also ask for additional manpower to keep an eye on the two."
is completely opposite to the scene in the eldest prince's military camp, his eldest brother is here, his subordinates are excited, but the eldest prince is sitting on the chair gracefully, calmly sipping fragrant tea. However, his face was pale, and his chest was wrapped in a thick white cloth, from which the pungent smell of medicine came out.
"Ahem." The eldest prince coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention to him. "Today's assassination has disrupted all our deployments, if this is done by my second brother, then he must have a backhand, and we must always be ready for the sudden riot; If he hadn't done it, the result would have been even worse, and now he must have thought it was my bitter ploy and took strict precautions against me. ”
The eldest prince didn't say a word, and he struggled: "However, with my understanding of the second brother, this action may not have anything to do with him." Let's look at the situation tomorrow, you go back to various places first, the second brother is afraid that he will take this opportunity to attack my forces, and some critical positions must not fall into his hands. ”
Saying that, the eldest prince's expression became more and more depressed, and in the end, he could only let the maid help him go down to rest. His subordinates also went back to stand by, because everyone knew that the eldest prince was seriously injured this time. During this period of time when the eldest prince recovered, it was also the time when they could test them the most.
The next day, the eldest son's injuries still did not improve, and the soldiers and horses sent by the second prince to "protect" had surrounded his courtyard. At the same time, he began to loot for evidence of officials in the city. The people who can sit in this position are half a point cleaner than anyone else. On weekdays, no one investigates and handles, of course, there is nothing to do, but the second son's thunderous means instantly pulled down many officials.
However, the power of the core of the eldest prince has not been affected. On the one hand, those people are very hidden, and on the other hand, the second son is afraid that they will jump off the wall in a hurry, so he deliberately leaves a glimmer of life for these people. Moreover, if he becomes the city lord in the future, he will also rely on the power of civil officials, and it will be impossible to wipe out all the civil officials in Luoyang City.
It wasn't until the third day that the eldest prince reluctantly came out to take charge with the support of others. Hearing about his brother's recent movements, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the assassination should have nothing to do with him." If he really did it, the first thing he would have done would have been to attack you instead of sending someone to spy on me. But it doesn't matter, our losses are not large, and now, listen to me, you are so ......."
In the next few days, the forces on the eldest son's side did not make any radical moves, but cooperated extremely with the second son's "investigation", and at some times, they were even completely at the mercy of the other party like a stripped singer.
Faced with this situation, the second son began to restrain his hands and feet. Because he wasn't sure if this was his brother's conspiracy, Wang Xing was too familiar with him, the eldest brother. Since he was a child, he has had a bad stomach, and if he can't keep it, he wants to get rid of it, and he has suffered a lot in his hands. Therefore, at this moment, the second son does not seek speed, but stability. Slowly encroaching on his brother's power. He had already inquired clearly, the eldest prince's injury would not be healed for more than ten days, and during this time, he could completely expand his strength further.
On the fourth day, Helian Jun had already seen some clues in Luoyang City, and decisively found the eldest prince.
"Li Shaoxia, I don't know what is the matter with me today?" The eldest prince was also very strange why Li Yixuan suddenly found himself.
"I can't hide it," Helian Jun said, "I have a request for Gongzi below." ”
"What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. The eldest prince stared at him and said slowly.
"Actually, staying in Luoyang for many days is also for this." Ji Yunkong said, "I hope that Gongzi can borrow the "Chalcedony Gong in the Stone" to give me a look, in the next year, I have studied with the old city lord, this exercise has given me a lot of inspiration, this year the martial arts stagnant." I hope to read it again, or get something. ”
The eldest prince frowned, and refused without thinking: "No, "Chalcedony Gong in the Stone" is a dead thing of the father, although the children are not learning, but they must not be lent to others at will." Besides, the cheats had already been cremated with my father's body. ”
Helian Jun seemed to have expected the eldest prince's answer, and said, "In the old city lord's original room, there is a basement, and the cheats are placed in it, right?" ”
"You peeked?" The eldest prince stood up suddenly, and a palpitating cold light burst out of his eyes.
Helian Jun said: "If I peeked at the truth, I wouldn't tell you today." Maybe the eldest prince is not a martial arts practitioner, and he doesn't understand the mood of a martial artist facing a bottleneck. I did come here to borrow the book sincerely, and if the son did not want to, he could sweep me out of the house. However, I will still ask for the second son and the young lady in the future, this book is a relic left by the old city lord to the three of you, with the permission of the two of them, I can also take a look. ”
The eldest prince sat down again, rolled his eyes twice, and said, "My father's belongings are all with my little sister, if you can get her consent, you can take a look." ”
"Thank you," a smile appeared on Helian Jun's face, "as a thank you, I would like to tell you a piece of news." On the night of the assassination, Chen Shuzhi went to the second son's house. ”
