Chapter 145: Brothers and Brothers
As a news figure, as soon as Jiang Qi fell, it spread all over Luoyang in less than half a day. Although there is an inside story, I can count all the hands I know now, and as long as I want to, I am afraid that this secret will not be revealed for a year and a half.
And said that Jiang Qi fell, in addition to watching the excitement, the happiest thing was naturally the ten permanent servants who were disgraced because of the black pot. Among them, the one who is prosperous is Zhang Ranger.
As soon as he heard the news from the Imperial Doctor's order, he was happy, and Zhang Rang immediately floated three whites, sweeping away the haze in his heart for these two days, even if it was a pity that Jiang Qi did not have a soul to return to the nine heavens, but it was a good thing to say it.
Especially after hearing that Jiang Qi is critically ill. He clapped his hands in celebration.
It is said that the imperial physician Ling Xu Cheng is also a delicate person, although it cannot be said to be one in front of the face and one behind the back, but when he told Zhang Rang Jiang Qi's condition, it would definitely not be as comforting as when he told Jiang Lin'er.
Naturally, hearing Zhang Rang's ears, Jiang Qi is useless if he is not dead at the moment.
With a happy face, Zhang Rang didn't even hold a grudge against the bastard who assassinated Jiang Qi. Maybe someone will report it right now and find out who did it, and he will be a confidant.
Since the henchmen were in great trouble and could not make a big wave for the time being, Zhang Rang immediately summoned the rest of the regular attendants to discuss the top priority at hand: how to restore the trust of the Son of Heaven in them again.
After serving the Son of Heaven for so long, Zhang Rangzao caught Liu Hong's temper.
Although he was annoyed by Jiang Qi's stabbing, the anger of the Son of Heaven came and went quickly, just like a summer rainstorm.
What's more, now that the dynasty is about to be made, the states are planning to arrive in Luoyang to prepare for the offering, which is a good step, and the use of this time can be described as twice the result with half the effort.
Besides, the bitter master Jiang Qi is already dying, no one will complain at this moment, as long as it is covered up properly, maybe people will die of illness, and the Son of Heaven will not know.
Of course, this is just Zhang Rang's good New Year's wish, and in the evening of the same day, when Zhang Rang opened the banquet, a few fast horses broke the tranquility of the streets of Yiyang Houfu.
Coming to the people, they may disturb Zhang Rang for peace.
Although Jiang Qi has lost his position now, how can a skinny camel be bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Yiyang Marquis Mansion is now a place of right and wrong, guarded by the emperor's own soldiers, who dares to go into the night to ride the horse.
Not to mention that if you disturb the seriously ill Jiang Qi, you will be scared! If you kill someone, you can't get out of it.
Even if it was seen by someone with a heart, he was accused of being a party with the assassin, and he couldn't eat and walk around.
But someone dares to do this.
There were more than 10 people in the team, all of whom were dusty and tired. The two tall war horses, one white and one yellow, rushed through the dismounting stone of the Hou Mansion like a dragon.
The horse is like a dragon, and the warrior on the horseback is naturally mighty, the former is more than eight feet tall, with a white robe and a white scarf to hide his face, and the latter is also nearly eight feet, with a sword at his waist and a cold face that is angry.
Seeing this battle, Yu Linlang, who was guarding in front of the door, dared to slack off, and drew out the swords and short crossbows on his waists and formed a formation to prepare to defend against the enemy.
For a while, the sword and sword shadow, a touch is imminent. The speed of the reaction is really worthy of the emperor's guard.
But in the face of the mighty and tall Yu Lin Lang, and the high-pitched sound of the horse. The two samurai at the head didn't seem to see it, and the white-robed young man shook the spear in his hand and squeezed away the two big ones in front of the horse.
The cold-faced man who came afterwards was even more polite, and a whip was a sentence of 'death to those who stand in my way'.
Yu Lin Lang, although he is now as elite and mighty as he was when he was without Han Wu, he is also a royal guard, even if he does not inherit the elite of his predecessors, he has inherited that arrogance. What's more, most of them are the children of official eunuchs, and the generals of the future Han Dynasty.
At this moment, in the face of unreasonableness, the young Lang officials are not afraid of things. was not deterred by the momentum of the comer, and Yu Linlang, who was whipped a whip, raised his sword to take it down.
Unfortunately, he was one step slower, and then a crossbow arrow flew and knocked his sword away. Just when he was stunned, more than a dozen horsemen who arrived dismounted one after another, and a big ginger-shaped battle flag fluttered among them.
Next to the battle flag, Yi was still holding a crossbow, and it was obviously the general who had just launched, and he said in a loud voice: "General Jiang Jiajun Taishi Ziyi and General Zhao Zilong have returned home, and you dare to stop it." ”
'Five Tigers Zhao Zilong, Divine Arrow Tai Shi Ci ......' Obviously, the sudden sound of registration was much more effective than the brutal breakthrough just now, and just this sentence immediately caused ripples in the Yulin guards.
Martial artists respect the strong, and they are also heroes and cherish heroes, even if most of today's Yulinwei are children, but they also have idols in their hearts.
Now in the Han army, the first idol is naturally the invincible Qilin General, and then the five tiger generals, Tai Shici, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou are also well-known masters.
At the moment, the Yu Lin Lang, who had just been tense, also collected their swords and bows, and watched the idol throw the saddle and dismount, even forgetting their duties, and put them in the house without confirming their identity.
Fortunately, the porter of the Hou Mansion knew Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci, and the titles of General Zhao and General Tai Shi helped this group of irresponsible guys make up for their mistakes.
With the sound of greetings, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, who were angry and anxious, followed the porter and hurried through the corridor, their anxious mood and eager pace at this moment were like ants on a hot pot.
It is no wonder that the two generals, who stood still in the face of thousands of troops, are so out of shape today. Their anxiety had to start from about ten days ago.
On the same day, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to take back Jiang Qi's seal and punish him. Although they were far away from Shi, they received the news from Luoyang Tanpai, two days earlier than Jiang Qi's order.
When they heard the news, the staff and generals on duty in Lishi were all stunned. They never imagined that before the aftermath of the good news had passed, the tragedy would be staged.
However, worries are worries, whether it is Tian Feng, the political director of Lishi now, or Sima Xunyou, who is in charge of military affairs, they all know that they can't panic at this moment, and they can't do anything unfavorable to Jiang Qi. Immediately, while dealing with the prisoners brought back by Zhao Yun as soon as possible, he appeased the subordinate officers and generals below.
As expected, a few days later, Yan Ming escorted Xi Zhi before returning to Lishi to convey the order. I also somewhat understood what Jiang Qi meant.
It's just that Yan Ming's return is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and immediately makes the generals who were already noisy and shouting to go back to Luoyang to save Jiang Qi make a fuss.
In the end, I had no choice but to let the change of defense return to Lishi, Tai Shici, who was about to return to Luoyang, and Zhao Yun, who had no task and was recuperating, went back to assist Jiang Qi in case of accidents.
As for the soldiers and horses, the two naturally did not dare to disobey Jiang Qi's orders, and in the end, they could only lead Yan Ming's side to a Qilin guard and quickly whip back.
And when they returned, they realized that the matter was more serious than they had guessed.
Especially after Hanguguan heard that Jiang Qi was assassinated, he kept beating the war horse under his crotch, for fear that Jiang Qi who came back to see him would already have a good one. You must know that according to the description of the Hangu guard, their brother was carried out.
And under such worries, there was also a scene of fire and fire.
Although it is almost night at this moment, there are still many people in the Jiang family who have not yet left. Now that the storm is coming, they are still staying here, perhaps in addition to caring about Jiang Qi's body, they are more worried about the future.
I'm afraid that many people are wondering if it would be more beneficial for them if the news of Jiang Qi's death came from the room. After all, Jiang Qi is a hero, if he is assassinated, most of them are based on his merits, and the court will definitely not investigate his previous crimes, after all, the dead are the greatest. In this way, it will not affect the people.
At this moment, as Tai Shici and Zhao Yun hurriedly entered, it naturally attracted a lot of attention. Especially when Tai Shici, who was furious, knocked down the black man who was guarding the gate of Jiang Qi's bedroom with one punch and did not let anyone in, there was even more uproar.
It's no wonder that Tai Shi Ci was angry, he had been worried about Jiang Qi for a long time, when Dian Wei stretched out his hand to stop him from entering the house, and then his majestic body ignited his anger.
As the saying goes, the Lord humiliates the death of his ministers. Now that Jiang Qi is lying down, there is a lot of rumors outside, as if he is about to die, but the personal guards are safe and sound, how can Tai Shici not be angry.
Immediately punched Dian Wei in the chest, and after knocking him back a few steps, Tai Shi Ci pointed his nose and scolded: "Okay, you Dian Wei, when the fourth brother left Sufang to go on the expedition, how did you promise our brothers." In vain, my brother trusts you and trusts his life, but how can a good person be so seriously injured now. ”
"I ......" In the face of Tai Shici's sudden attack, he was careless, and he was beaten and retreated a few steps. But as soon as he was aroused into anger and instinctively wanted to fight back, Dian Wei saw Tai Shici's red eyes. I couldn't help but loosen my fist, opened my mouth and couldn't speak.
"If you have nothing to say, then Ziyi will carry out the military regulations on behalf of the fourth brother today." looked at Dian Wei first with angry eyes, and then lowered his head. Tai Shi Ci, who was in a fit of rage, stretched out his hand and drew the sword at his waist.
If they don't agree with each other, they draw their swords and face each other, and the audience who hasn't seen anything on the side has not seen it yet, but when they see the sword light flashing, they realize that they should stop it. But it happened in an instant, and it could be stopped if you wanted to.
Maybe he was ashamed of being scolded by Tai Shici, or maybe he was poked in the pain in his heart, for Jiang Qi's injury, Dian Wei, who had already died as a confidant, if he didn't feel a little guilty, he wouldn't have bowed his head just now.
Gu Dang's cold light swept across the air, and Dian Wei, who instinctively dodged, closed his eyes, with a rhythm of waiting to be slaughtered.
It's just that when the 'bell' was heard, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and there was no fulfillment of Dian Wei's will to die.
"Who is you, dare to ......be presumptuous here" At the critical moment, a sword in front of Dian Wei's eyes saved a tragedy. Then the owner of the sword pushed away the sword of Tai Shi Ci and stopped in front of Dian Wei and said angrily.
The situation changed immediately, and when I felt the strength on my wrist, I was forced to retreat. Tai Shici, who was still angry, looked back again, and was blocked by a burly young man.
Seeing that someone stopped him, Tai Shici, who was already hot, could imagine how he could imagine his heart at this moment, but when he was about to swing his sword again, his arm was already pulled.
"Brother, my own person, this is my brother's cousin, Xu Chu ......" "Brother Chu, put down the sword, this is the third brother of Taishi......"
Fortunately, just as he was about to fight, Zhao Yun, who was half a step behind him when he entered the park, grabbed Tai Shici's hand and stopped Xu Chu, who was already pointing at the head of the sword.
"Brother......" Zhao Yun, as a general who went to the west together, Xu Chu naturally knew about it, and let go of his vigilance. When he put away the sword and gave the salute, he couldn't help but take a look at Tai Shici, whose face was not much better.
The name of Tai Shi Ci, since he entered the Jiang family's army, Xu Chu naturally knew it, but he didn't expect to meet in such a situation, you must know that these days and Dian Wei get along day and night, and they have been introduced as confidants because of their temperament, and they immediately dislike it in their hearts.
However, this is Xu Chu's personal opinion, if it was Zhang Fei who came at this moment, maybe he would know what a reckless man is.
After such a fuss, the parties were naturally embarrassed, but fortunately, the closed door on the side was opened by a handsome young man, and everything was solved.
"What's wrong with my brother?" As soon as he opened the door, he saw the color of the sword, and Xu Qi, who was not in a good mood to be criticized by his mother today, looked at his brother Xu Chu and said. It seemed to be helpful.
"It's nothing, it's all a misunderstanding..."Although there was some displeasure in his heart, Xu Chu didn't add fuel to the fire, and the sword was sheathed and waved his hand.
"Brother Qi, how is my brother..."Compared with the taste of the two brothers, Zhao Yun, who was also worried about Jiang Qi and was anxious, saw Xu Qi coming out of the house, and hurriedly asked the question.
"It turned out to be Brother Zilong, didn't you go to Lishi?" Seeing that someone called himself, looking back at the dust, it was actually Zhao Yun in civilian clothes, Xu Qi was a little dumbfounded.
"Brother Qi? Brother, what ......" Looking at Xu Qi up and down, Zhao Yun, who was so anxious, didn't have so much time to explain, and asked excitedly again.
"Oh...... Brother, brother, hey! The situation is not very good, in the house, I am already asleep......" was grabbed by Zhao Yun and shaken, listening to the question clearly, Xu Qi reacted, but he was about to tell the truth, but he saw that there were many people in the garden, so he quickly said with a dejected look.
"Ah...... Brother!! As soon as he heard Xu Qi's words, and saw his shaking head and sighing, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. Then he hurriedly put aside Xu Qi and rushed into Jiang Qi's bedroom first.
Hearing and seeing the same, Tai Shici naturally didn't feel much better in his heart, and hurriedly followed in in his anxiety. When the two entered, Xu Qi immediately gave Xu Chu and Dian Wei a look, and then the door closed again, and no ghosts entered.
