Chapter 9: Concealment and Conspiracy (3)

Wu Zhixian is preparing to kill the last man. That was Ye Yongjia, who led troops from Huaining.

At first, he still had some worries, such as whether the soldiers led by Ye Yongjia could pose a threat to the army, but Zhao Zhu relieved his doubts: "Ye Yongjia is here to rescue Ruzhou through the road, and the troops he led must be the elite division dispatched by Yuan Dudu. ”

Wu Renyun was convinced of the identity of this Zhao Zhu, so he naturally nodded in agreement; Because in the name of wanting to wash the dust for Tongzhi, he ordered the knifeman to lie in his mansion, and according to the ancient method, he listened to the cup as a number, that is, he grabbed the door and entered.

Everything was ordered, but Wu Renyun was worried, and it seemed that he was not ready to have a grand farewell with this friend who had not yet known each other deeply.

When Ye Yongjia arrived outside Xihua City, the weather was neither sunny nor cloudy, and the sky was bright but not dark, which was an excellent day to say goodbye.

As soon as the cannon sounded, the soldiers in the city gate quickly came out, put out two long lines of strict lines, and looked towards the place where Ye Tongzhi got off the sedan chair, and the magistrate also fixed his eyes there.

As soon as the sedan curtain was lifted, Ye Yongjia leaned out first, stepped on the ground with two feet, and the soldiers who lifted the curtain stood beside him, looking ahead.

The solemnity and solemnity of the soldiers on both sides seemed to be preparing for the farewell ceremony without words. Ye Yongjia also calmed down, and did not greet easily, but replaced it with a formal order: "Zhixian, as a fellow Zhi, I will lead the army to go to Ruzhou to conquer the thieves; It is necessary to borrow food and collect troops in Xihua, and then go to war. ”

"Obey!" The eyes of the two collided together, as if they both knew the inevitable outcome of your life and death.

"Tell the army to temporarily enter the inspection department and stand by!" Ye Yongjia gave an order, and the officer behind him led the soldiers into the city.

"Please come to my house for a feast." Wu Renyun made a 'please' gesture and said.

Several officers stationed the army in the inspection department, while at the same time, Ye Yongjia was also sitting in the waiting room of Wu Renyun's mansion.

The banquet was full of food and drink, but the two just looked at each other deeply, and they were speechless for a while.

All the soldiers in the inspection department are sharpening their knives.

Wu Renyun spoke first: "Please drink this glass of wine!" And they both drank a full cup of water. Wu Renyun stopped the empty wine glass in his hand, looked at the face reflected in the cup, and remained motionless. Zhao Zhu next to him hurriedly encouraged with his eyes.

The sword is unsheathed.

But the cup was put down. Zhao Zhi glared at him a few times, but the magistrate turned a blind eye, causing him to grit his teeth and be in a hurry, and he almost wanted to step forward and grab the cup and smash it himself.

The soldiers broke down the door. They danced their swords and rushed towards the county soldiers of the Inspection Division, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

"One more drink!"

An officer slashed off the other's head, and blood sprayed and flew.

They drank another one.

At the base of the wall and on the corridor, there were many horrific corpses. The soldiers took their weapons, the sound of swords colliding was noisy, and the ranks were disorganized and swarmed away from the inspection department.

Wu Renyun put the cup down again, steadily.

Several groups of soldiers took out bows and arrows, and they were neatly wound, and the tips of the arrows were aimed in one direction, surrounding the mansion.

"Wu Zhixian, I ......"

"Don't move!" The voice outside shouted, "If you dare to move a single hair of Ye Tongzhi, be careful of arrows!" ”

The knife hand who was ambushed inside and outside the door was shocked and looked at each other.

"All out. Throw down the knife. Wu Zhixian also took a sip of wine and said plainly.

The crisp sound of 'crackling' knives and guns falling to the ground suddenly sounded around.

"Wu Zhixian," Ye Yongjia sighed, "Now it seems that you are nobler than me." ”

"Nothing. I'm just fed up," Wu Zhixian looked at Zhao Zhu: "I'm afraid you're also Lu Deguang's person." ”

Zhao Zhu admitted happily: "I am Lord Lu's cousin, I have scolded you a few times, don't be surprised." But you really didn't expect this to be an ambush. ”

"Zhao Xiancheng, don't lie," Ye Yongjia stood up gently, "It's an ambush you arranged, this should be right." ”

"......"

"I just think you're smart. If it were Lord Lu, he would do the same. Ye Yongjia was not the slightest bit annoyed by this, which surprised Zhao Zhi.

"Remove your bows and arrows!" Ye Yongjia shouted at the figure outside the paper window.

"I have unjustly killed many people, and you deserve to die at your hands."

Ye Yongjia was silent.

"Go outside the house, your soldiers are waiting to kill me."

The two walked out of the house, and several soldiers had put ropes around his neck the moment they opened the door, but Ye Yongjia said, "Slow! ”

The man obediently withdrew his hand.

"I am finally willing to give up my conscience, don't those who give up their conscience deserve it?" Wu Renyun smiled bitterly, looking directly at Ye Yongjia with tearful eyes, asking for forgiveness instead of forgiveness, but an end.

"You're relieved, but?" Ye Yongjia asked.

"I am burdened with the lives of so many unjust deaths, and I am afraid that I will not be able to live in peace after death, how can I talk about liberation?" He still laughed, "It's just atonement." ”

"Some people may be more guilty than the magistrate, but they don't bear the blame of conscience!" Ye Yongjia said sadly.

"So I'm damned." Wuzhi County Road.

Ye Yongjia looked up to the sky and sighed, but he didn't know what to sigh for; He slowly lowered his head and said quietly, "You and I are poor people. ”

"Execution." He turned his back and commanded the soldier.

"I don't know if it's in a pit or ......"

"Are you only going to use this kind of shitty means?" Ye Yongjia turned his face, the muscles of his face twitched, but his roar was sad and weak.

He suddenly didn't know whether to cry or laugh, to be sad or happy, and with that uncontrollable trembling bitter laughter, he walked out of the house step by step, stumbled against the door of the house, and then wiped it out from the wall.

Wu Renyun looked out the door, this would be the last look.

He suddenly felt his neck tighten, and the rope behind him was clenched fiercely.

Is it yourself who is strangling? Suddenly he could not feel the pain, and saw the rope taken from his neck and placed in front of him.

It may not only be a rope, but also something else. It represents death, and thus derives all the desire for power, which in turn destroys humanity and uses evil as a chain that binds people; Everyone is active because of this chain, and because of this chain, they can barely maintain a thriving communication. It makes people feign superficial sufficiency, hiding their dazedness and loneliness.

At this moment, Wu Zhixian is getting out of this chain, and only then can he see the thoughts buried in his depths at a glance.

This may be hope, but Wu Zhixian thought it was despair.

He put his head on the rope again. The feeling of suffocation spread all over his body again, and there was not a trace of shouting in his throat.

Wu Renyun fell. The soldier put his hand to his snort, and there was no breath, only the sound of the wind creeping between his fingers.
