Chapter 61: Chuyang Pass
The time of this small meeting was indeed torturous for Liu Shu.
He didn't take chances, Chu Yangguan would definitely see the coffin and ask about it.
But this matter was not in the old plan, he was thinking about how to act after arriving in Lianzhou all the way, but he didn't think about how to deal with himself in such a situation.
Bibu Langzhong didn't know anything about this, so he could only reply by himself.
"This is a relative in the family who passed away, and when I want to go to Lianzhou, I will send it back to the township for burial."
Liu Zhu couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, so he could only prevaricate first with the reason that he had perfunctory "driving in Langzhong" at that time, so as to buy himself some time to think.
As long as Chu Yangguan asked, he could even pull him to say some reasons in private.
But he didn't want the general to be interested in continuing to ask, so he directly said to his subordinates: "Open the coffin." ”
Liu Zhu hurriedly got up while holding his waist and ran to Chuyang Guanma: "General, don't." ”
Chu Yangguan looked at the middle-aged man condescendingly and asked, "Why not?" ”
Liu Zhu said several "this" words in a row, and finally said a whole sentence: "There is an important secret matter here." ”
Although he spoke, the general gave an order, and Dingyijun naturally did not care about others. A dozen soldiers in heavy armor and spears entered the ranks, directly separating the people next to them.
The dozen or so secret guards who were guarding in front of the coffin and pretending to be too guards knew the situation, and it was no good to resist at this time, so they moved out of the way like everyone else, just waiting for Liu Zhi to maneuver.
"What's the secret?" Chu Yangguan seemed to be interested, leaned down slightly, and approached Liu Zhu a little.
Of course, Liu Zhu didn't think about it, so he could only continue to delay: "General, there are many people here, so it's better for us to take a step to speak." ”
Chu Yangguan thought for a while, but suddenly straightened up and said, "No hurry." ”
After speaking, he tapped the team behind Liu Zhi with his chin.
Before Liu Zhu could look back, he suddenly heard the sound of a heavy wooden board being pried open.
When he looked behind him again, he saw that the Dingyi soldiers had already pried open the coffin, and the lid of the coffin had fallen aside.
Liu Zhi secretly said in his heart that it was not good.
However, Chu Yangguan had already left him and went to look at the coffin.
Liu Zhi naturally knows what is in it. At this time, no matter how active his mind was, he couldn't think of any way to deal with it.
Chu Yangguan was originally riding on a horse, only glanced at the coffin, and the whole person froze, Liu Zhi couldn't see his expression, only to see him turn over and dismount again, and stood in place for a while, before slowly walking to the coffin, and finally said: "What do you want to say to me?" ”
"General, this matter ......"
Liu Zhu was about to defend himself, but Chu Yangguan seemed to be asking, but he didn't want to give him a chance to reply, and said again: "This is an accident in your realm." ”
"It's the negligence of the lower officials, it's just ......"
"Okay."
This sound is a military order, and the deputy general immediately understood, grabbed the knife and stepped forward, picked up Liu Zhu, and gave him a pair of hearts on the spot.
Liu Zhu didn't expect the change to come so quickly, as soon as the deputy general let go, he was frozen on the ground, blood was bubbling from his mouth, he didn't know what to say, but his eyes kept staring at his family.
The Liu family members in the team were only stunned for a moment, and then another burst of screams and cries broke out.
But this is not always the case, and several of the adult children and nephews are standing in place, either with anger in their eyes, or with their fists clenched, and they can't help but have a seizure.
And the housekeeper of Liu's Mansion was the first to come back to his senses, and he didn't dare to call the master, so he had to cry while quietly pulling the young man who was close to him and telling him to cry together.
Everyone cried and cried, and Chu Yangguan also cried together, but he was crying in front of the coffin of His Second Highness, and said while crying: "There is no place for us to stand in Nanchu, and the people present are involved in your future, and none of them can stay." ”
Tang Mingyi is not only his best friend, but the two also support each other above the Southern Chu court, and in the current situation, Tang Xianyao will definitely take his life and then dispose of the Dingyi army. The generals under Chu Yangguan naturally knew this truth.
Regardless of whether others know this news or not, as long as he doesn't see the corpse, there is still room for him, so he wants to hold his friend's corpse in his hand for the time being, and he can't spread it anymore.
Many of the rest of the soldiers had never seen Tang Mingyi, but listening to the general's words, they didn't need to think too much about themselves, just act according to the order.
Even so, the soldiers of the Dingyi Army did not even hesitate, and they were about to go to the team with their swords.
Bibu Langzhong had already knelt on the ground and couldn't speak, and when he saw Liu Zhu's fate at this time, he forced himself to scream, shouting that this matter had nothing to do with him, but it did not cause Chu Yangguan to be moved.
Seeing that the situation was not good, this poor man crawled to the ground in front of Chu Yangguan, and Dingyi Jun on the side immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Taking advantage of this moment, more than ten secret guards in the team suddenly moved at the same time, rushed into the family members of the Liu Mansion, hugged or dragged, and rushed to one place with several young children and young boys and girls. If you don't bring anyone, you will be protected by the left and right, and the young family members of the Liu Mansion will be surrounded in the middle, and they will take the opportunity to rush into battle and break a way out.
The Dark Guard, like the Dingyi Army, has some similar experience, and naturally knows when and where there are some opportunities to break through, but even so, the gap in numbers is too large, just thinking that even if one escapes, it is better than sitting back and waiting for all of them.
But where will the Dingyi army give them these opportunities, the sudden movement of the secret guards gave the Liu Mansion's family team and the Dingyi army surrounding behind them temporarily rushed out of a gap, the archers released arrows, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were about to catch up and surround them.
At this moment, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion and several women stood up, although there were still tears on their faces, their bodies stood upright, and they all stopped the gap in front of Ding Yijun.
This is to fight for the children and younger generations.
These Dingyi soldiers did not hesitate, and raised their swords and slashed.
And none of this alarmed Chu Yangguan, his calmest moment had passed, and as the general of the Dingyi Army, he had already made up his mind for the future. At this time, I will only leave it to myself, and I will feel sorry for my only friend for a moment.
It wasn't until the surroundings were completely quiet that Chu Yangguan finally recovered his mood.
He didn't even ask, and he didn't care about the fate of the dozen or so people who wanted to break through. With 4,000 Dingyi troops, if you can still let them run away, it will be a great loss of face.
At this time, the Dingyi army had already hastily cleaned up the surroundings, and Chuyangguan remounted his horse and led the team to continue to run towards Tongcheng.
The morning sun is rising, and the tragedy of this place may not be eliminated until the next rain. And for Chuyangguan, Tongcheng, which he is about to go, is the starting point of his trip.
