Chapter 39: Liaodong Civil Strife Chapter 5 "Hongmen Banquet"
Tong Ruo and Tai Shici dressed up all the way and finally came to Qingyun Village, together with Wang Lie and Guoyuan, the four of them were full of emotion.
Let's say that Liu Zheng learned that Tong Ruo was still alive and entered Qingyun Village, he was anxious and couldn't sleep well, although he had seized the power of Liaodong, but it was not justified, and Tong Ruo was always in endless trouble.
So he thought about attacking Qingyun Village, but was stopped by Xie Wenyan.
Xie Wenyan said: "Qingyun Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once Yuan Geng led more than 3,000 thieves to defend here, and the county soldiers still can't attack it, and now Qingyun Village has 4,000 elite soldiers, not to mention Wang Lie, Tai Shici and others are in charge, it is too difficult for adults to take down this village!" ”
Liu Zheng frowned and said, "Then I don't know what kind of plan Lord Xie has?" ”
Xie Wenyan said with a smile: "We might as well have a Hongmen banquet." ”
Liu Zheng's face was full of suspicion: "Hongmen banquet? ”
"Yes, you can invite him to the city, set up a banquet of wine, and set up swords and axes on both sides, and find a good opportunity to get rid of him." Xie Wenyan said, and his right hand made a knife-like slash into the air.
"But he is invincible, how easy is it to kill him?"
"The person on whom the boy spirit relies is nothing more than a spear in his hand, and if he does not have a spear in his hand, will it not be easy to kill him?"
"But he has always been a gun, what tricks does Lord Xie have?"
Xie Wenyan's eyes narrowed, and he said: "Didn't my lord arrest Yuan Geng, if Yuan Geng was threatened, with my understanding of him, he would be willing to unload his equipment and come to the banquet." ”
When Liu Zheng heard this, he clapped his hands, walked to Xie Wenyan's side, took his hand, and said: "Mr. Xie is really unparalleled in strategy, after this matter is completed, I am willing to share the glory and wealth with Mr." ”
"Thank you, for lifting up, I have to meet the Lord today, and I should do my best."
For a while, the two sympathized with each other, and the scene was quite touching.
Liu Zhengdao: "Then this matter will be handed over to Mr. ”
Xie Wenyan readily agreed, and Liu Zheng said again: "I don't know where Mr. Tian Zan is?" ”
Xie Wenyan shook his head and said, "Since that day, I haven't seen each other again, but I'm afraid that after learning that Yuan Geng was arrested, he hid." ”
After saying that, Xie Wenyan went to arrange the banquet.
After a few hours, I saw a soldier come to Liu Zheng and said, "If I really expected it, Xie Wenyan is going to let the sword and axe hand get rid of the adult at the banquet!" ”
Liu Zheng snorted coldly and said, "I have long guessed that this Xie Wenyan and Tong Ziling are so close to each other how they will sincerely surrender." You arrange to give each of those sword and axe men fifty taels of silver, and when the banquet comes, you will kill Xie Wenyan and Tong Ruo together! ”
After a pause, he said: "Continue to look for Tian Zan, don't let this person run away!" ”
The soldier clasped his hands into fists and said, "Order!" Then he turned around and walked out the door.
In the middle of the night, Xie Wenyan had already fallen asleep, and vaguely heard the sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" coming from outside the window.
Suddenly woke up, put his head on the corner of the wall, pretended to cough, and let out a sound: "Hmm".
Then there was a voice outside the window: "Lord Xie? ”
This voice, Xie Wenyan really knows, it is Tian Zan.
Xie Wenyan said in a low voice: "Why are you here?" ”
"I have something important to tell you, don't go to that banquet! The knife and axe hands were all bought, and if they went, they were afraid that they would die or live. ”
I saw the person outside the window, dressed in black, sticking to the corner of the wall, with a dark face, a long beard, no one would associate this person with that handsome little Ikuta Zan.
Xie Wenyan said in a low voice: "Life and death are fate, once you will succeed, ten thousand bones will wither, if you can succeed, even if you die, what is the pity!" Let's go, there are so many eyes and ears here, don't miss a big deal! ”
When Tian Zan heard this, outside the window, he clenched his fists and sighed: "Take care!" Then he turned around and walked away, and the wind was blowing under his feet, and in a moment he was gone.
On the side of Qingyun Village, Tong Ruo and others received the news.
Wang Liejin said: "This is the Hongmen banquet, it must be Xie Wenyan's trick, he is afraid that he is only afraid that he will have a bad heart, this is dangerous and abnormal, adults must not go!" ”
Tong Ruo's eyes drooped, and he said angrily: "Junyu treats me sincerely, and he will not abandon him, besides, Yuan Geng is in danger, how can I see death and not save me." ”
Since beating Tong Ruo experienced great changes, he secretly determined to calm the troubled times, not to let people experience this kind of life and death again, he thinks that his various encounters are because his strength is not strong enough, if it is so strong that others can't even reach their toes, how can they dare to design the people around them like this.
And the first step to make yourself strong is to regain power in Liaodong.
Tai Shi Ci saw that Tong Ruo was determined to go, and said: "If you go, I should accompany you and protect the adults." ”
Tong Ruo said again: "I'm afraid that it won't work, the other party explained that I should go alone." ”
Seeing that everyone was worried, Tong Ruo smiled and said: "Do nothing and do everything, rest assured, I know what I should do, if I hesitate here, what big things to talk about!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all thought: "The boy spirit can say this, but compared to before, he has grown a lot!" ”
Two days later, the moon was clear and the stars were sparse, and the people were already miserable when there was a month of war in the north.
Tong Ruo walked to the outside of Xiangping City, and saw many white bones on the side of the road along the way, which should really be in response to the sentence of Artemisia Lixing, "The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines. ”
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If there is a mess today, where is there any place of tranquility, I felt sorry for myself a while ago because of what happened to me, regardless of the overall situation, it really shouldn't be." ”
After about an hour, the mansion of the county government in Xiangping City was already set up for a banquet, and the guests and hosts were all seated.
Liu Zhenggao sat on the top, Tong Ruo sat on the left, Xie Wenyan sat on the right, and some of them only served as small and medium-sized officials in the county who accompanied the guests, and they were all Liu Zheng's cronies.
During the banquet, Liu Zheng saluted Tong Ruo with a few glasses of rice wine, but the atmosphere was really embarrassing, so he clapped his hands and called the singers and dancers to help the fun. ”
This song is particularly beautiful under the tactful voice of the servant, and everyone can't help but shake the wine glass in their hands and close their eyes to enjoy.
Only Tong Ruo's heart was stunned, looking at the wine in the cup, and he was distracted.
The servant sang again: "One look at the city, and then take care of the country." ”
Tong Ruo only felt that Huo Qianning's delicate figure appeared in front of him, and the corners of his mouth showed a little smile, and he drank three glasses of rice wine in a row.
"Rather than know the city and the country? It's hard to get a beautiful woman! ”
As soon as the lyrics of this sentence came out, Tong Ruo was indeed full of emotion, and he was extremely remorseful in his heart, and there were tears in his eyes.
"Child-sama, child-sama!"
Tong Ruo heard Liu Zheng's voice at this time, and turned his head to respond: "What? ”
Liu Zheng picked up the wine glass and said with a sullen face: "Master Tong, I was about to toast you?" I've called you four or five times, but there's no response. ”
Tong Ruo exhaled lightly, stabilized his mood, and said, "Come on, come on, drink!" ”
After saying that, he drank it all.
Liu Zheng clapped his hands again and said, "You guys should retreat first." ”
When the singer and dancer heard this, they withdrew from the hall.
At this time, Liu Zheng said: "Master Tong, is this missing Miss Huo?" To tell you the truth, my first reaction when I heard these words was also to think of Miss Huo, she is really talented and beautiful, unparalleled in the world! ”
When Tong Ruo heard this, he was quite sad, and he didn't speak, but just poured another cup and drank it all.
Xie Wenyan looked at the other side, thinking in his heart: "Looking at Lord Tong's performance, Miss Huo is only afraid that something will happen to her." Thinking of this, and remembering Huo Qianning's daily life, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and he also raised his wine glass and drank a glass alone.
Liu Zheng probed at this time and said: "Now that Lord Tong has returned, the power of Liaodong County should be returned to you, my lord, right?" ”
Tong Ziling was already drunk, and he had no respect for Liu Zheng for a long time, although he knew that he was hypocritical, he was not used to him, he shook his left hand, pointed at Liu Zheng with his index finger, and said: "If you give it to me, I will take it!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials in the audience felt bad, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.
Liu Zheng stood up proudly, with an angry face, and said: "You are incompetent and want to occupy the position of Taishou." After speaking, he dropped the wine glass, and the knife and axe hand flashed out behind the screens on both sides.
The officials panicked and fled. The knife and axe hand didn't chase either, but just came at Tong Ruo and Xie Wenyan.
Although Xie Wenyan is a Wenchen, he has also learned a little martial arts, the knife and axe hand slashed towards Xie Wenyan's neck, he hurriedly dodged, and when he wanted to escape, two more knife and axe men slashed down before and after, slashing his back and chest, Xie Wenyan fell to the ground with a bang.
When Tong Ruo saw the knife and axe hand slashing towards Xie Wenyan, he wanted to rescue, but he was already too busy to take care of himself, several knife hands in front and behind, waving the head knife in front of him, he dodged it, but there were two knives slashing at him in the back, both of which were aimed at the vital parts, but he couldn't avoid it.
