Chapter 83: Kill Tokens
Hearing this, Kuada smiled bitterly twice and said: "Please forgive the old man for not being able to answer your question, even if he doesn't dare, he can't, if I reveal any information about that person, my Kuai family is in danger of being wiped out." ”
"Who is that? In my impression of Zhao Yi, I haven't offended any big people, could it be that he is an enemy made in his childhood, and he has been remembered until now? ”
"Please forgive the old man for not being able to tell me, general, if you are really an immortal disciple, please go and find the answer yourself, the old man only wants to calm the general's anger with his own life, spare me the women and children of the Kuai family, thank you."
There was a sense of absoluteness hidden in Kuada's tone, and he reached out and grabbed the long sword of the courtyard next to him, pressed it against his neck, and without the slightest hesitation, he killed himself with a sword.
"Head of the house~!"
"Old ——!"
Zhao Yi looked at the head of the Kuai family who was pulling out his sword and killing himself, and grinned: "Old man, why are you doing this? Is it bad to be alive? Do you think you can save your whole clan by drawing your sword and killing yourself? What are you and I Zhao Yi? Why do you want to sell your face? You've found someone to kill me, and you naively thought that I would let you go? Naive. ”
The expression on Zhao Yi's face was cold, and he did not fade at all because the head of the Kuai family killed himself, and raised his hand and said: "Bring everyone back to me, and the disciples who are willing to surrender will be assigned to the barracks, and those who resist stubbornly will be killed on the spot, I will interrogate them one by one to see if there are any people in the Kuai family." ”
"Yes."
The Kuai family was tragically looted on the day of the destruction of Xiangyang City, with more than 500 family members and more than 400 guests, most of whom died, but Zhao Yi was not a murderous demon king after all, he took in all the female dependents of the Kuai family and acted as subordinates, while the old man was left to fend for himself, of course, all the property of the Kuai family was confiscated, which can be regarded as a little comfort. ”
"Brothers, the next stop is the Cai family, the speed is sharp, don't let the dog run away."
Soldiers were transferred to deal with the follow-up of the Kuai family, and Zhao Yi led his men and horses to kill the Cai family.
However, although his movements were fast enough, when he came to the Cai family's mansion, it was empty, and the ground was full of messes.
"It's fast enough, so needless to say, the Heng family must be the first to leave Xiangyang, after all, their main business is not here."
Zhao Yi rode around the Cai family's mansion, sighed at the luxury and strength of this Jingzhou wealthy family, and was pleased to find that perhaps he was in too much of a hurry, and most of the Cai family's belongings were not taken away, so he naturally smiled unceremoniously.
That night, the purging of the three families of Kuai, Cai, and Heng lasted until the morning of the second day, and Zhao Zhiqiu did not miss any clues, and almost turned the mansions of these three families upside down, not to mention, he really found some suspicious clues.
"Boss, this was found in Cai's house, it should be that they didn't have time to destroy it."
Zhao Yi looked at the things handed over by Ma Liu, and not only did he have doubts in his heart.
What he held in his hand was a token, which was carved with a large seal with the word "kill", and the back was engraved with a pattern, the pattern seemed to be a collection of Gao Shiya, in a group of mountains and mountains, or sitting, or standing, or lying, or standing with his hands, or stroking the qin to make tea, a total of eight people, with different expressions, lifelike.
"I can understand the killing, it should be the killing courtyard, but why do you have to work so hard to carve eight people on the back? Could it be that these are the eight members of the core of the Killing House? ”
Zhao Yi fumbled in his hand for a while, and said softly: "This kind of carving skill is already quite powerful, I guess there are not many people in the world today who can complete this level of work on such a palm-sized wooden card, send someone to check who is proficient in carving skills, we should be able to find some unexpected surprises along this line." ”
"Okay boss, I'll send someone to inquire."
After dealing with the property left by the three families, Zhao Yi yawned and realized that he hadn't slept for a day and a night, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go, find a pleasant room in this Cai family's mansion to rest for a while, and wait for the lord to send someone to take over Xiangyang." ”
The day after Zhao Yi captured Xiangyang, Zhao Yun's army also arrived in Jiangling and took over the city's defense, and when he learned from Liu Feng that his younger brother had come out to capture Xiangyang, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hongfei...... What a nonsense! ”
Although he was messing around, Zhao Yi still took Xiangyang City, which made people feel a little unbelievable and unbelievable.
The news of the fall of Xiangyang City soon reached the ears of Cao Cao and Zhou Yu, the former angrily slapped the table, dispatched troops, and made a defensive posture to meet the enemy with all his might, while the latter looked at the sky in a daze, and coughed up a mouthful of blood after a while.
"The Grand Duke! Are you alright? Bo Yan has been entrusted by the governor and lost Jiangling City, please punish the governor! ”
Zhou Yu smoothed his breathing, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and waved his hand: "Bo Yan doesn't need to blame himself, that Zhao Yi is treacherous and unreasonable, you are inexperienced, this loss is all a test on the way to growth, and the future is bright, but I didn't expect that Zhao Hongfei would be able to connect two important towns...... Xiangyang, a fortified city guarded by thousands of elite soldiers, how could he take it overnight? God doesn't help me Zhou Yu ......"
Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and sighed softly, slowly closed his eyes, and opened them again after a while, with endless loneliness and melancholy in his tone.
"Order the army to camp and rest in place, although Jiangling has been lost, we and Liu Bei are still in the alliance, I will personally go to see Liu Xuande and ask him what he wants."
Zhou Yu's westward army stopped advancing and was stationed in place, while he himself only took a few troops directly south, entered Gong'an County, and went to Liu Bei in person.
But when Zhou Yu found Liu Bei, the latter was sleepy-eyed and confused.
"Governor Zhou, I don't know, this matter is really incredible, let me slow down first."
Zhou Yu saw Liu Bei sitting there for a long time without reacting, and a nameless fire in his heart suddenly burned.
"Xuande Gong! What are you doing here? Then Zhao Yi led his troops north to Jiangling, you said you didn't know? Are we still allies? ”
Liu Bei yawned and said slowly: "How can Zhou Dudu say this?" Of course we are allies, but according to the governor, there are hundreds of defenders in Jiangling City, how did Zhao Yi lead a hundred people to capture Jiangling? Whether this little general can answer a question or two, I really can't imagine. ”
"He took advantage of Cao Ren's night attack to reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
Lu Xun echoed on the side.
"Cao Ren? Oh~ It turned out that it was not my son-in-law Zhao Yi who did it, but Cao Ren attacked Jiangling at night, and Hongfei just took it back, I understand it this way, right? ”
