Chapter 9: Plum Blossoms (1)

Ye Yu sneered: "It turns out that you have been lying to me. ”

The general's tone was full of murderous intent: "In the past ten years, I have not forgotten for a moment the poisonous oath of revenge. ”

Ye Yu said: "You became a patriotic general, you should forget." ”

"I haven't forgotten. The general's eyes were full of pain, which had tormented him for many years: "My brothers are dead, and I am the only one left, and I cannot forget them." ”

The general continued: "Back then, with the strength of dozens of us, there was no way to penetrate the palace and assassinate King Wei under the protection of the Imperial Forest Army. So we decided that only by accepting the edict of King Wei, making military achievements, and becoming a general, could we have the opportunity to get close to King Wei. ”

"Finally, five years ago, I worshiped the general, and I have been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to kill all these people in one go. ”

Ye Yu said: "The two armies will meet, is this the opportunity you are waiting for?"

The general nodded: "I'm alone, I'm not very sure, I need a knife that's fast enough." ”

Ye Yu looked at the knife in his hand and said, "I'm the knife?"

The general nodded again: "Yes, you are." ”

Ye Yu was furious, he hadn't been so angry for a long time: "It turns out that all this is fake. You killed all your brothers, and you killed so many of my countrymen, just to get revenge!"

The general said: "As long as I can take revenge, my own life can also be sent in." ”

Defending the country and building up dry bones are just stepping stones for revenge.

"Why bother? Isn't it good to be a general? Unify the world with King Wei, and there will be no more war, isn't it?" Ye Yu said excitedly: "Have you ever thought that the Xu Kingdom is about to be defeated, and the world is going to be peaceful, and if you kill King Wei, you don't know how many years this war will burn." ”

The general said coldly: "What does the world have to do with me, I only need the head of the king." ”

This sentence was like a basin of cold water pouring down Ye Yu's head, his back began to chill, he looked at the general in front of him, and said, "It turns out that you haven't changed at all in the past ten years, and you still want revenge." ”

Ye Yu said: "You are a fake general, you are fake to kill the enemy for the sake of defending the country, it is fake for the people, it is also fake to leave me as a friend, only revenge is real." ”

The general ignored his sarcasm, respectfully put the spear back on the shelf, and said, "Brother Tang's revenge will not be avenged, and I will not turn a blind eye." ”

Ye Yu looked at the two words on the gun and sneered: "I don't know the true meaning of these two words now. ”

Killing affection, what is cut off is not the friendship with Tang Jianli, but the friendship with all the lives in the world, in order to deeply remember Tang Jianli's hatred, even if it is worth sacrificing everything.

The general turned around and said in a tone of a patriot to Xu Guoren: "You are a native of Xu Guo, wouldn't it be as good as your wishes to kill King Wei and avenge your compatriots?"

"I have long forgotten what patriots are, Xu Guoren, I prefer that there is no war in the world and that I am a person of the world. Ye Yu sneered again: "You kept me, I thought it was our brotherhood, but I didn't expect it to be for me to kill someone for you." ”

The general argued: "You are only half right, I will keep you, half of it is really brotherhood." ”

Ye Yu said: "Should I believe you?" ”

The general was furious, and he roared, "If I don't treat you as my own brother, why should I tell you this secret." Don't forget, Brother Tang is kind to us, if you don't take revenge, will your conscience be at ease? I know that you also wanted revenge back then, but you didn't have a chance, and now there is a great opportunity in front of us, why don't you seize it?"

Ye Yu was stunned, and at this moment he realized that he had really changed in the past ten years. Why didn't I think about revenge back then, why didn't I suffer because I couldn't get revenge.

"Did you forget all the things that men should do in order to find a woman?" the general shouted: "Have you forgotten how Brother Tang died? Have you forgotten the eight sisters-in-law? Have you forgotten even his two children?"

Ye Yu clenched his fists, his heart ached as if it had been pierced by a spear, and he found that he had really forgotten this great hatred that should not have been forgotten.

The general saw the slight change and loosening in his expression, and struck while the iron was hot and said: "It's been ten years, and the person you're looking for doesn't know whether it's dead or alive, maybe you won't be able to find it for another hundred years." But now, an opportunity for revenge is right in front of us, are you willing to turn a blind eye?"

Speaking of this, a tear slipped quietly from the corner of Ye Yu's eyes, how could he not know.

The general patted Ye Yu on the shoulder, and actually had the intention to die: "Brother, don't think about it anymore, it's just an inconsequential woman, forget the world, forget the past, forget everything, and join me, kill King Wei and avenge the dart game!"

Ye Yu couldn't help but cry, he was used to holding back tears, only he knew how deep this depression was.

The hall is the largest room in the General's Mansion, which is enough for more than a thousand people.

In the deepest part of the hall, up a seven-story staircase, is a mahogany Taishi chair carved with unicorns, covered with soft cushions bought from Persian merchants, and the magnificence is not inferior to that of the dragon chair of the country. This chair is the most prestigious position here.

The general stroked the chair and said to Ye Yu: "The day I moved here, I asked the most famous carpenter here to spend eleven months making this chair, because one day, I will let King Wei sit on this chair and let him die on this chair." ”

He took Ye Yu around to the back of the unicorn chair, squatted down, and opened a three-foot square secret door on the ground, after opening, there was a small space, just enough to hide from a person, and said: "This secret door and secret room are very hidden, others will not find out that there is a dark room here, even if you stand on it, you can't find it." I did it myself. Because this secret cannot be known to others, because one day in the future, King Wei will sit on this chair and drink, and there will be a person hiding here and slashing King Wei's throat with a knife. ”

Ye Yu said: "This person is me?"

The general said: "You are here to be you." If you don't come, I'll find someone else. ”

Ye Yu said: "So, besides me, do you have other candidates in mind?"

The general nodded and said, "There are countless candidates, and I also have people with fast knives under my account." ”

Ye Yu said: "If my knife wasn't so fast, wouldn't I have to hide here?"

The general said: "Your knife is the fastest in the dart game, you have this mission." ”

Ye Yu said: "Why is King Wei sitting here drinking?"

The general said: "Because on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, on the day when he brought everyone here to learn with me, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for him." He is a king, and I am a minister, and of course I will give him a seat. ”

Ye Yu said, "Where are the others sitting?"

The general walked down the steps, pointed to the two rows of chairs and tables on either side of the hall, and said, "They will sit on both sides." ”

Ye Yu looked at the two rows of chairs and tables, and said, "Behind these chairs, is there also a secret door, and is there also an assassin in the dark room?"

"Nope. ”

"Why?"

"Rather than going to great lengths to make so many secret doors, to prevent others from seeing the flaws, and to consider whether the average assassin could kill the abbot and the head of the house with a single blow, it is better to think of a more secretive and confident plan. ”

"What's the plan?"

"Wouldn't it be easier to drugged food than to make a secret room and arrange for assassins?"

"The smell of deadly poisons is too strong, and those old rivers and lakes can see through it when they smell it. ”

The general smiled proudly, he was obviously satisfied with his plan: "Instantaneous lethal poison can't be colorless and odorless, but sweat medicine can, as long as they lose their strength and the ability to resist, it's enough." ”

Ye Yu said: "As far as I know, it is not a simple matter to configure a colorless and tasteless sweat medicine. ”

The general said: "There is just a master here, who can configure colorless and odorless sweat medicine." On that day, I ordered the chef to cook some Sichuan dishes with a strong taste, which even the most sophisticated heroes could not recognize. ”

Ye Yu swallowed, a little incredulous, but he still asked, "The master you are talking about is Mr. Yan?"

The general said, "Yes." ”

"It turns out that when she was rescued by you, you had already thought about everything now. Ye Yu said in a low voice: "If she is not a master of medicine, will you still be gracious, and will you treat her as a friend." ”

The general said lightly: "Maybe, maybe not, I don't know." ”

In the early morning of the next day, when the first rays of sunlight shone down, Ye Yu, who was supposed to leave, did not leave.

He stayed up all night, and an old account from more than ten years ago was like a ball of hemp rope that tied his brain, and he kept cutting it.

When Mr. Yan saw Ye Yu, he was a little surprised: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Ye Yu said: "Didn't you ask me to come to you to get some medicine before leaving?"

Mr. Yan said: "Yes, I started waiting for you before dawn, the sun has come out and you haven't come yet, I thought you forgot and left first." ”

Ye Yu was helpless: "The general kept me again." ”

Mr. Yan stretched out his hand to the medicine cabinet to take the medicine and retracted it, and asked strangely, "Didn't you say that you must leave?"

Ye Yu smiled bitterly: "Every time I want to leave, the general always has a way to keep me." ”

Mr. Yan said: "He really has the ability, what is the reason for keeping you this time." ”

Ye Yu lowered his voice and said two words softly: "King Wei." ”

Mr. Yan's eyes seemed to light up with a bolt of lightning: "King Wei?"

Ye Yu said: "The general said, you are in charge of the colorless and odorless sweat medicine, and I am in charge of a knife that is fast enough." ”

Mr. Yan was taken aback, and a reluctance close to disgust flashed in his eyes: "He dragged you into the water too?"

Ye Yu said: "My enmity with him is in common, I am a person in the water." ”

Mr. Yan was stunned, she was just a small doctor in a border city, and she was involved in something she shouldn't have been involved in.

Ye Yu looked down at the knife in his hand, and there was a trace of happiness and hatred in his eyes, which was the pain brought to him after killing: "This knife has been with me for more than ten years, and it has killed enemies, enemies, and villains. Now the knife may be hiding in a corner, killing perhaps my last enemy in this world, and the most powerful man in the world. ”

"You can kill this person with the most power, isn't this knife the most powerful?" The secret of assassinating King Wei was revealed by Ye Yu in a few words, but Mr. Yan felt very relieved and relaxed, and he no longer had to maintain his original vigilance against Ye Yu.

Ye Yu said: "If you don't meet the general, it's just an ordinary self-defense knife." ”

Mr. Yan saw that there was some fear in his eyes, and said, "Then what are you afraid of? Are you not sure about this matter?"

Ye Yu said: "I'm not afraid of this, I'm sure I will kill with one blow, what about Mr.'s medicine?"

Mr. Yan said: "The general began to let me concoct colorless and odorless sweat medicine more than a year ago, after repeated experiments, this medicine has achieved the colorless and tasteless requirements of the general, only a small amount of mixed into the wine to take it, without the use of a stick of incense, people will be fatigued." ”

Ye Yu was actually a little admired: "Is there a name for such a powerful medicine?"

Mr. Yan shook his head: "What harms people, why should you choose a name for people to follow suit and leave a legend for the world?"

Ye Yu said: "Since it is harmful, why does Mr. do it?"

Mr. Yan said: "At first, I refused, but the general persuaded me with good words several times, and he was kind to me, so I had to do this for him." Besides, he also said that if I don't do this, he will find someone else to do it. At that time, other people's medicine is not good enough, and if something goes wrong during the Double Ninth Festival, it will also hurt the general. ”

Mr. Yan pointed to a couplet on both sides of the entrance of the medical hall, and Ye Yu completely ignored her reluctance after reading it.

"I hope that all people are free of disease, so why worry about the medicine on the shelf. "This couplet has begun to peel off after the baptism of the years, and the mercy of a healer is hidden in the wind and frost.

Mr. Yan said, "What about you?

Ye Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just want to find my old friend, and I have long forgotten the past grievances." ”

Mr. Yan sighed: "It turns out that this is what you are afraid of. ”

Ye Yu said: "If King Wei dies, it will not be peaceful here, what are you going to do?"

Mr. Yan asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

Ye Yu said: "If you can survive, you will continue to move forward." ”

When the sun was shining three poles, the general looked at the topographic map in his room, and dispatched troops on the sand table, he cautiously told Ye Yu, who was standing beside him: "As long as you succeed and surrender the soldier talisman of the king of Wei, the others will be unable to move if they are hit by sweat medicine, and the situation will be controlled, so you can rest assured that we are safe." "Since last night he told the secret he has hidden for the past ten years, the general seems to have changed as a person, and he no longer has a cynical attitude.

Ye Yu said: "As soon as King Wei dies, there is no pure land in the world, I can get out of here alive, and I may not live to find my old friend." ”

The general said: "On the day of revenge, you will definitely forget these little things, wouldn't you be happy!"

Ye Yu said: "At that time, the court will not let you go, what are you going to do in the future?"

The general had already thought about it: "Retreat to the desert, there is no more general like me in the world." ”

Ye Yu sneered: "Are you underestimating the iron cavalry of the country, how can you let you get out of the country alive." ”

The general said: "I am walking away alone and riding away, the target is small, and they can't catch me." No matter how big the net is, it's just a net, and I'm so small that I can pass through the mesh and disappear without a trace. ”

Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, and he found a general's profound arrangement: "It turns out that this is the reason why you don't want to start a family, just to take revenge, and it will be easier to get out of it alone." ”

The general sighed: "No matter how much it costs, it is worth it. If you can understand me, you must not miss that day. ”

Ye Yu still didn't make up his mind, he asked again: "After King Wei dies, the two countries will have to kill many people for this, can you bear it?"

The general sneered: "It was the kings of the two countries who let the war burn for their own selfish interests, for the sake of territory and population, and the people were not killed by me, but by them." ”

Ye Yu said: "I don't agree. ”

The general waved his hand and said impatiently: "You and I don't have to agree, you just need to remember that King Wei is our enemy, and that's enough." ”

If it was ten years ago, Ye Yu would definitely understand what he was doing now, because at that time, he and Tang Jian were not far from a rock-solid friendship.
