Chapter 65: Not killing is not enough to deter the world
As the sun gradually faded, the sound of fighting gradually fell, and the mountains and forests were full of red and black blood, and there were messy corpses everywhere, and the pungent smell of fish filled the air.
Luo Qing checked the injuries of the spirit soldiers, fortunately, they only lost their combat effectiveness, and did not hurt the roots, as long as they were sent back to Zhaocheng to sleep, they would gradually recover over time.
More than half of the team escorting Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was lost, and it was gloomy and bleak.
Luo Qing's face turned blue and said: "Send a messenger to Chang'an City immediately and report the approximate list of personnel, otherwise I don't know what else I will experience along the way." ”
Huo Guang hadn't recovered from the shock of the list, and when he heard what Luo Qing said, he immediately nodded, although he didn't know whether the list was correct or not, it was inevitable that there would be clan relatives involved.
The journey back to Guanzhong is not easy.
After the group cleaned up the corpses of their comrades, they continued on the road, wanting to get out of here quickly, not because they were worried that someone would attack and kill them, but because the mountains and forests were hot and humid, and the corpses would soon decompose, which might lead to a plague.
……
The imperial court's mission to arrest Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was attacked and killed in the land of Jianghuai, and this matter could not be concealed at all, and it went to the world, and it exploded in one fell swoop.
"Wu Wang Liu Bi really rebelled? This bastard, the emperor reuses his relatives, and now that King Wu is doing this, he doesn't know what the future will be. ”
"The imperial court is not liquidating the Kanto, after all, Wu Wang Liu really conspired to make trouble, and I heard that he also implicated the Luo family."
"I heard that the assassins used the weapons of the imperial court, I really don't know who caused the rebellion, I am afraid that some people from the military are involved."
"Alas, it's another big storm, and I don't know how many people are going to fall in this storm."
"As long as the emperor doesn't use the topic to play, the broken things of the Chang'an court are not interested in taking care of it, and the marquis can't enter the court anyway, so he can just guard in this place."
"Once this matter is not handled well, the prestige of the emperor will be affected, how many years has he been on the throne, he has purged Guanzhong and Kanto on a large scale several times, and this kind of thing is still happening now."
Countless voices appeared everywhere in the world, and the princes, princes, kings, and ministers of the county were all paying close attention to this matter.
In this kind of attention, Luo Qing and the others returned all the way, escorted by the county guards of the imperial court, and no one wanted Luo Qing and the others to have an accident in their own territory.
No one wants to get involved in this kind of rebellion, so it is the most important thing to ensure the safety of Luo Qing and the others' itinerary and send them out of the country smoothly.
After passing through the land of Jianghuai, the people from Zhaocheng took the wounded spirit soldiers to Zhaocheng to sleep, and the men of Tiannan Luo's returned and the brave soldiers took over the escort of the second half.
Because of the escort of prisoners and prisoners, the team's journey was naturally slowed down, and after two months of trekking, it was considered to be from the land of Jianghuai to the river, and Lu Qing and the others were ready to cross the river and enter Guanzhong.
The two roads of Wuguan and Hanguguan are too close to Nanyang to dare to go at all.
The interrogation of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, has been going on for the past two months, and the list of true and false has been obtained many copies, and the names in it have changed somewhat, which makes everyone suspicious, but it is certain that someone in Nanyang must be involved.
The most terrifying thing is that some people don't even know that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, in this earth-shattering rebellion, some people stand taller than Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and even at this time, those people can't bear it.
Because no one knows who they are!
The arrest of King Wu Liu Bi is not a big deal for those people, and his identity will not be exposed.
Luo Qing wanted to use Qingshi to investigate, but the information fed back by Qingshi was that the input information was too little and too unprepared, and the luck points needed were too huge.
Just like using the search function to search for a book in a library, hundreds of thousands of books are looking for a needle in a haystack, and many invalid searches are wasted.
"Back to Guanzhong!"
"Enter Chang'an!"
When the group finally saw Chang'an City after trekking for several months, the extreme fatigue instantly spread throughout everyone's body, and they endured the discomfort of the soldiers and continued to move forward, under the gaze of countless Chang'an people, the forbidden army and the daring warriors rode on high-headed horses, and behind them were the dirty and smelly Wu King Liu Bi and some people who had been captured earlier.
The emperor's envoy waited outside Chang'an City early, and when he saw Luo Qing and the others, he immediately greeted him and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, please go to the palace with your subordinates immediately." ”
Walking into the palace, Huo Guang looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and sighed with emotion, this trip to Wu really made him gain a lot.
I didn't expect that the people would be rampant to such a point now, and there would be thieves who dared to directly intercept and kill the imperial court's mission.
Dozens of warriors escorted the bound prisoners to the hall, Huo Guang and others accompanied by dusty servants, Liu Xun stood quietly in the hall, his face was majestic, there was no expression on his face, only the corner of his eyes flashed with cold.
Seeing Huo Guang and others bring Liu Bi, the king of Wu, up, regardless of the fact that everyone was still saluting, Liu Xun stepped forward quickly, raised the rattan in his hand and pumped it hard!
"Liu Bi, why is there a disturbance in Sheji?"
Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was whipped heavily, and wailed: "Because the widow disobeys you, the position of this emperor should have been a widow." ”
Liu Xun didn't expect that Wu Wang Liu Bi would dare to speak up until now, in the past few months, it seems that Huo Guang and others have not punished Liu Bi properly.
Liu Xun didn't want to talk nonsense with Liu Bi, the king of Wu, so he directly raised the rattan whip in his hand, and threw it directly on Liu Bi's face, and a piece of flesh and blood was pulled off in an instant.
Liu Xun shouted angrily while smoking: "Thief! ”
"Evil Barrier!"
"How dare you!"
Liu Xun roared so loudly that the entire palace began to tremble, and puffs of dust fell from the top.
"This whip is drawn on behalf of Emperor Gao!"
Liu Xun whipped down again, "Tell you how difficult it is for me to start a business." ”
"This whip is drawn on behalf of Empress Gao and King Lowen!"
The corners of Luo Qing's mouth twitched when he heard this, and Liu Xun shouted angrily: "Tell the Liu family and the Luo family to be friends forever." ”
"Emperor Xiaohui's!"
"Emperor Xiaowen's!"
"Emperor Xiaowu's!"
Liu Xun was too angry, "Tell you about the hardships and difficulties of your ancestors, how dare you, an unfilial descendant, overthrow the society of the Han Dynasty." ”
Where did Liu Bi, the king of Wu, suffer such pain, he cried out directly, and begged for mercy loudly, this look looked at Liu Xun even more angry, and he was whipped down several times, and the thorns on the rattan blurred the flesh and blood of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and even dripped on the main hall.
Liu Xun's chest couldn't help but tremble violently, and when he saw the emperor venting, Huo Guang stepped forward to support Liu Xun and said softly: "Your Majesty is angry, Liu Bi is a thief, you don't have to say more to such a person, Your Majesty, but you have orders, and the ministers will do it for you." ”
Liu Xun held Huo Guang's arm tightly, and Huo Guang, who had a strong hand, felt a little pain, but he didn't say a word, and then he heard the emperor say softly: "Zimeng, you don't understand the danger in this,"
In the past few months, he has dreamed back from midnight countless times, thinking that if Huo Guang and Liu Xiang hadn't found out about it, he might really gradually dislike Luo's under subtlety, and even confront him.
Thinking that he almost fell in love with Luo, he couldn't sleep at all!
He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the son of heaven of Zhuxia, and he should not be afraid of everything, but when facing Luo's family, he always has an ominous premonition.
The Luo clan may experience those things of the Qin Dynasty and suffer huge losses, but the Han will definitely follow in the footsteps of the Qin Dynasty, and the Luo clan has the ability to destroy the Mandate of Heaven of the Great Han.
It's a gut feeling.
In fact, Luo's also thinks the same way, as long as the ancestor takes action to dissolve the destiny of the Han Dynasty, he will be sure of any emperor Luo's family, but Luo's loss will be unimaginably great.
Without the Principality of Zhao, what to use to legally gather the Luo clan together, what to use to raise brave warriors, what to use to promote education, and so on.
Although the artifact is strong, it cannot replace the role of a political entity.
Luo's and Han's are not good at all, and the best relationship between Luo's and the Han court is when Luo's is the fastest developing, and it is also the time when the Han is developing rapidly, which is called a win-win situation.
Liu Xun said to Liu Xiang, who was standing next to him: "Zizheng, I have nothing to say to these thieves, you take them down and take them to Tingwei to be judged by me."
I feel that I have been too soft since I ascended the throne, which is why these thieves think that I am a bully.
This time, I want to let the thieves who jump off the beam in the world take a good look at the consequences and consequences of angering me. ”
Liu Xun's words were plain, but the murderous intent in them was unprecedented, Liu Xiang was stunned, bowed down and saluted: "The minister obeys the order." ”
"Zizheng."
Liu Xun shouted Liu Xiang again, Liu Xiang turned around and looked at the emperor with some doubts, Liu Xun muttered: "Don't leak this matter during interrogation."
You don't have to care about the rumors outside, but the court can't admit it.
I don't want the world to know that there are thieves trying to sow discord between me and Luo.
Presumably Gongziqing also thinks the same way. ”
Liu Xun looked at Luo Qing, Luo Qing nodded with a solemn face and said, "What the Son of Heaven said is exactly what the minister wants to say, and it is not a good thing for this matter to be publicized." ”
Huo Guang didn't have a trace of expression on his face, Liu Xiang looked dazed, seemed to understand something, lowered his head and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows, the document will not record the relationship between King Wu Liu Bi and others to provoke the relationship between you and the Luo family." ”
After speaking, Liu Xiang turned around and walked out.
Liu Xun looked at Luo Qing at this time, and sighed lightly: "Gongziqing, you and I, are almost in the words of such a villain, and we are about to fall into a place of no return." ”
Luo Qing bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, you must be severely punished, not killing is not enough to deter the world." ”

King Bi of Wu was guilty of rebellion, and said: "Bi Zong's family is a great evil, causing chaos in the community, expelling the genealogy, abolishing the family, and abandoning it in the wilderness in the city as a warning." —— "Hanshu Xiaoxuan Benji"
