Chapter 59: Treason
"What did you say?"
With a thud, the door opened.
Liu Che is a general before the battle, and how many victories he and his soldiers have won with their lives, how can he collaborate with the enemy.
"I heard that ten days ago, the enemy army was shouting, and General Liu personally commanded and led the battle, and only one of the elite troops came back to him. After that, the enemy army suddenly attacked, and was caught off guard, and our army suffered heavy casualties, and almost lost the city. Du Hong was out of breath, said a word to gasp once, and hurriedly said it again.
Wei Shuyan: "What about Liu Zhao?" ”
Du Hong: "General Liu has been imprisoned, just wait to escort General Liu back to Beijing, find out the truth, and behead them together, if it is true, I am afraid that even the Wei Mansion will be implicated." ”
*
In the wilderness, a group of more than ten people was escorting the prisoner car, and the people in the car were bound hand and foot with iron chains.
The man inside had unkempt hair and half of his face was obscured, but his body still sat upright, as if he was fearless.
Suddenly, the wheel pressed against a stone, and there was a strange sound, which also alarmed the killer who was hiding not far away, and in an instant, dozens of black-clothed people wearing face masks rushed out.
The escort guards were quickly wiped out, leaving the leader and one or two soldiers struggling.
Seeing that the momentum was very good, the killer was very arrogant, and several people stabbed Liu Che in the car together, and when the sword caught his eye, crossbow arrows were fired all around, and several assassins fell one after another.
Something like this has happened many times along the way, and the closer the killer gets to the imperial city, the more ferocious he becomes, but every time there is a critical moment, someone comes to the rescue. It's just that I haven't seen the true face of that person's Lushan.
The guards who escorted him were sent by the emperor, and now there were only three left, and just as he was about to enter the imperial city, the assassins came again.
After a heavy rain, the road became more difficult and slowed down a lot.
"Official, official."
An old couple's carriage seemed to be in trouble, trapping in a quagmire. When the two elders saw the man in official uniform, they thought about coming over for help.
"What's the matter, old man." The one who took the lead stepped forward to ask.
"Sir, the road was slippery on a rainy day, and our car got stuck in the mud. Please help. The old woman had a rickety back and pointed to the same rickety old man who couldn't push the car with all his might.
Liu Che opened his eyes and glanced at them, and closed them again as if he had seen through some trick.
The leader said, "Okay, Little Liu, you go and help them." ”
"Yes," said Liu, who stepped forward to help push the cart.
The old woman stayed behind to continue talking to the leader.
"Official, who are you escorting! This is where to go. ”
"Go to the capital."
The old woman asked if she had a match, and inadvertently looked at the old man. The moment the car was pushed out, the old man suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed Little Six in the abdomen.
At the same time, the old woman fired a hidden weapon at Liu Che in the prisoner car.
Wei Shuyan had been hiding in the shadows to observe all this, and the old woman's hidden weapon was blocked by the bow and arrow she shot.
The old woman saw that the hidden weapon was blocked, and she also fired a steel needle at Wei Shuyan's side.
Her whereabouts had been exposed, and Wei Shuyan was no longer hiding, she jumped down from a tree and blocked in front of Liu Che's prison car.
"Girl, what a good kung fu, my old woman didn't even notice you. You're also here to kill him, we'll join forces, and we'll split half of the money. ”
Wei Shuyan pointed the crossbow arrow in his hand at the two of them and said, "I don't like to split it in half." ”
After several rounds of fighting, he was finally won by Wei Shuyan.
After collecting her sword, she walked towards the prisoner's cart, where the three guards supported each other in front of it.
Wei Shuyan: "Those two are first-class masters just now, you think you can stop me." ”
"If we can't stop it, we have to stop it, it's our duty."
Wei Shuyan glanced at Xiao Liu, who was supported by the two of them, and said lightly: "He was poisoned." ”
Wei Shuyan took out the medicine bottle in her arms and threw it over, "This medicine can cure most of the poisons, try it!" ”
When Wei Shuyan turned around to leave, she was stopped by Liu Che.
Liu Che smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that in just a few months, your skill is already so deep, and now I'm afraid I won't be able to kill you." ”
Wei Shuyan: "If I am found to be treasonous, even if I am an ant, you will not be able to kill me." ”
Liu Che: "Why do you want to save me?" ”
Wei Shuyan: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saving you, I'm saving myself, saving the Wei family, collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime, and the nine clans are connected." ”
Liu Che: "You are not on the genealogy of the Liu family, but with your ability, even if you are not in Dajin, you can thrive." ”
Wei Shuyan: "I, Wei Shuyan, am no longer a human being and will not be treasonous, Liu Zhao is a bastard again, but it is true that he is loyal and patriotic, as for you, you have been fighting for the country since you were fifteen years old, what I want to save is not my brother, not my father, but the hero who defends the Great Jin." ”
Liu Che: "Hahaha......"
Wei Shuyan glanced back at the three people and said, "You keep walking, I'll follow you behind." ”
With Wei Shuyan's escort, Liu Che finally arrived in Beijing safely, and outside the imperial city gate, Wei Shuyan bid farewell to Liu Che.
"I have already Du Hong and they went to collect evidence, but so far they have found nothing, the person who wants to harm you is not simple, you have to be mentally prepared."
Liu Che nodded.
Wei Shuyan: "Also, not long after you were arrested, the city was broken. ”
Liu Che: "The elite soldiers I trained were all killed, and several generals who followed me should have been transferred out during this period. Only Liu Jiajun was left there, Wei Shuyan, promised me that if something happened to me, he would bring Liu Jiajun back. ”
Wei Shuyan: "My surname is Wei and not Liu, the person was brought by your Liu family, and if you want to bring it, your Liu family will bring it." ”
Although Wei Shuyan didn't like what she said, Liu Che knew what she wanted to express.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Liu Che turned his head and entered the city gate.
At this time, Xiao Liu came over with a smile and saluted her: "Girl, thank you for your antidote, your great kindness, I can't repay it." ”
The little six were tall and thin, with two dimples and a little silly when they laughed, and they looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they almost lost their lives at a young age.
"It's not that I saved you, it's good luck, your martial arts are so poor, and you're still doing this business, I don't know if your luck will continue to be so good." Wei Shuyan patted the ash on Xiao Liu's shoulder, and said disdainfully, "Let's practice martial arts well!" ”
"Yes, girl, I will definitely try."
Wei Shuyan, who walked away, only heard the stupid boy shouting behind him.
She thought to herself, "This kid is so cute." ”
*
Wei Shuyan found a place to settle near the imperial city, because of the rumors of the Liu family's treason, even the business with the Wei family plummeted.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she and the Wei family did break the bones and tendons, and they couldn't be involved, if Liu Che was convicted of collaborating with the enemy, the Wei family would be immediately confiscated.
If the wealth of the Wei family is filled into the treasury, it is a great fortune, and as long as the person who handles it sticks to a little, he can eat it for a lifetime.
Wei Shuyan didn't want to use the hard-earned money of herself and her grandfather to support those corrupt officials. This should be taken as the reason why Wei Shuyan helped Liu Che!
She can't walk as Wei Shuyan anymore, so she packages her team as a dart game.
Du Hong is the leader of this dart game, and the members include Wei Shuyan, Si Yin and Wei Anling.
After Liu Che entered the imperial city, there was no news until three days after the dart bureau checked into the Four Seas Inn, someone brought news, and the person who came was unexpected by Wei Shuyan.
"What are you doing?" Si Yin spotted a man looking left and right in their yard.
"Oh! Hello girl, I want to find Miss Wei. Xiao Liu laughed silly, making people feel that this person didn't look like a bad person.
"Miss Wei? Sorry, we don't have this person here. Si Yin didn't dare to take it lightly, so he could only lie that there was no such person.
"Girl, girl,"
Xiao Liu stepped forward and grabbed the arm of Si Yin, who was leaving, Si Yin turned his head and was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Liu realized that he was rude.
Xiaoliu: "Girl, please let me meet Miss Wei, General Liu asked me to come." ”
"Who! Si Yin. At this time, Wei Shuyan walked out.
"Miss Wei," Little Six trotted over.
"You." Wei Shuyan was puzzled by the appearance of this person.
Xiao Liu: "I'm here to tell you the news of General Liu." ”
"You, Liu Che will let you come." Wei Shuyan frowned, Liu Che would not choose this clumsy and clumsy person to deliver the news.
"I lied," Xiao Liu scratched his head and glanced at Si Yin who came behind him, "I actually found it myself." ”
"How do you know we're here?" Wei Shuyan grabbed Xiao Liu's collar.
"Yes, I came with that person, that day outside the palace gate, I saw you and the code word." Xiaoliu refers to Du Hong.
Du Hong has been staring outside the palace gate recently, and Xiao Liu may have discovered him.
Wei Shuyan let go of her hand.
Xiao Liu patted his wrinkled clothes and said, "General Liu was secretly imprisoned after entering the palace, I think your people may not be able to infiltrate it." ”
Wei Shuyan: "Less nonsense, say it quickly." ”
Xiaoliu: "General Liu was thrown into the dungeon after he entered the palace, but His Majesty never summoned him, nor did he say that he wanted to be tried, so he was kept locked up like that, and no one could approach without His Majesty's will." ”
"Just like that?" Wei Shuyan couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, now that the border pass is occupied by the enemy, the truth of the matter should be found out immediately, and if he is guilty, he will be sentenced, and if he is not guilty, he will immediately return to the border pass to preside over the overall situation.
Or is it? Wei Shuyan was stunned for a moment. This person has no relatives with them and has no reason, why would he do everything possible to come over with Du Hong and bring this news, is it a trap.
Xiao Liu was a little uncomfortable by Wei Shuyan, and he explained: "Girl, you won't suspect that I am a spy, right?" ”
Wei Shuyan: "No, I'm just curious, why did you risk threats to tell us this, you don't know what will happen if you leak the secrets of the palace!" ”
Xiaoliu: "I knew you would suspect this, let me tell you, first, I don't think General Liu would be treasonous, and second, I want to worship you as a teacher." ”
"Worship me as a teacher?" Wei Shuyan wondered.
"That's right! Didn't you tell me to learn kung fu hard? Your martial arts are so strong, I want to worship you as a teacher. Xiao Liu looked stupid.
"No, who's that?" Wei Shuyan couldn't cry or laugh.
Wang Chuan: "My name is Wang Chuan, the Sichuan of rivers and mountains, and I am the sixth oldest in the family, so everyone calls me Xiaoliu." ”
Wang Chuan: "Master......"
"Hey, wait...... Wei Shuyan poked Xiao Liu's chest, "Who is your master, I don't have the time to take in the apprentice, Si Yin, drive him out." ”
