Part 2 - Yuan Kui
As usual. The scorching sun is in the sky, and the arrogance is fierce, and the creatures in the world are viciously slammed. The heat wave slapped into the hall from outside the hall one after another, making people feel hot and sweaty, even Zhou Tianzi, who was sitting in front of the hall to review the recital, was no exception, and the inner attendant was constantly wiping the sweat on his forehead for His Majesty, and the two beautiful women were dancing fans for him. And as usual. The other person in front of the hall has a big belly, his eyes are slightly squinted, he is dressed in brocade clothes but his chest is exposed, and he is lying on the side of the seat given by the emperor under the steps of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, the war in the north is going well, the king of Jin has already come to the capital of Yan State, just wait for the decisive battle, the north will be pacified, and Prince Kang will be ambushed. "Your Highness, as usual, there is a minister who is kneeling in front of the Son of Heaven to report the war, and this person is Yuan Kang, the captain of the guard. The Great Zhou Tianzi nodded at Yuan Kang, handed the newly revised chapter to the chamberlain, and was about to ask about the details of the war.
"Yan Kang will be easily ambushed, that man has ink to help him, the two sides on the front line are holding each other, Jicheng is tenacious and difficult to overcome, Zhong Chu sent a letter to me the day before yesterday, asking me to increase troops and food to help. The fat man lying in the hall took the recital handed by the chamberlain, glanced at it hastily and closed it, and opened his mouth as usual to interrupt the duet between the Son of Heaven and the minister.
"Oh, my brother doesn't mention it in my correspondence. Yuan Kang frowned after listening to what the fat man said.
"I still need to know what I have to do with your brother?" the fat man shook his head and ate the fresh fruits and vegetables that Mei Ji handed over. "I have issued 5,000 gold guards and 10,000 knights of the Three Rivers, with Pan Cang as the commander. The fat man propped up the cushion of the seat with one hand and straightened up with some difficulty. "Oh yes, there are also 20,000 Wei troops. ”
"Jin Wuwei must also protect His Majesty's safety. The knights of the Three Rivers still have to guard against the barbarians in the western realm, so why doesn't my uncle consult with the princes of the imperial court and dispatch them at will?" Yuan Kang looked serious and questioned his uncle Yuan Kui.
"Just guarding the palace, I can send 3,000 soldiers, the barbarians in the west have their own Liangguo garrison, it doesn't matter, after the reinforcements arrive in the north, Jicheng will be broken in ten years, and it only takes thirty years to return to the court. Besides, how can I still consult with you and others, just say it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" As usual with the ministers, Yuan Kui was also disapproving in the face of his nephew's questioning, replied calmly, and then looked at the Son of Heaven on the seat.
"Yes, my uncle once told me that I had to dispatch Jin Wuwei and the Knights of the Three Rivers, and it was my permission. The Son of Heaven also didn't dare to look at Yuan Kui's gaze as usual, so he looked away in a little panic and said to Yuan Kang.
"Even if this is the case, my uncle must not exceed the etiquette system!" Yuan Kang snorted coldly, turned around and knelt on the ground, and said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, the people of Gyeonggi are all used to build the palace, if you are in a hurry at this time..." Yuan Kui disagreed, and Yuan Kang's face sank. "In this case, can't you say that I have squeezed the people's power and oppressed the people?"
"You can use the Wei army as an auxiliary soldier to escort grain and grass, doesn't it make Brother Zi Meng feel cold?" Yuan Kang argued with Yuan Kui.
"What's wrong with you kid today? Wei Guo can't hide a dog raised by my Yuan family, if it weren't for your brother's old love, then Wei Guo would have been destroyed a long time ago, and now you can't let me use it?" Yuan Kui stretched his neck full of fat, and sneered at Yuan Kang, the fat on his face trembled, and the oil sweat was also thrown to the ground.
Yuan Kang didn't speak, he waved at Yuan Kui, and then raised his head to look at Yuan Kui. "There's one more thing about my nephew. ”
"Speak. Yuan Kui looked at Yuan Kang, nodded with his eyes closed.
"Uncle's frame is ready, please go back with your nephew. Yuan Kang bowed his head. "My uncle has lived in the inner palace for a long time, and the family has missed my uncle for a long time. ”
"Your Majesty is still young, and it coincides with the start of war, all the southern countries do not respect the order of the Son of Heaven, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and all matters related to the construction of the palace have disturbed Your Majesty, so it is not that I have stayed in the palace for a long time, but Your Majesty does not allow me to go. This is not as usual, Yuan Kui narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said to Yuan Kang. "If the family misses, why don't you come to the palace to live, I am Your Majesty's uncle, and the Yuan family is also the half-master of the inner palace. ”
Yuan Kang's eyebrows furrowed, he bowed to Yuan Kui, stood up, and said nothing more. Still as usual, Yuan Kui felt bored, and lay on the chair with his waist down.
"Say hello to my sister-in-law at the beginning of the season. "That's the send-off.
"Uncle, since you are so unseemly, don't blame your nephew for being unjust. Yuan Kang did not leave, but pointed at Yuan Kui who was lying down. "Yuan Kui, is it the courtiers who have lived in the palace for a long time? Is it the courtiers who arbitrarily judge the court? Is it the courtiers who bully the first emperor and the concubines? I actually claim that I am the lord of the inner house, are you going to rebel against the lord and kill the lord? I, Yuan Kang, will kill my relatives today, punish you, a chaotic minister and thief, and punish you, the scum of the Yuan family!"
As Yuan Kang shouted three times, dozens of warriors rushed into the outside of the main hall, all armed with swords and axes, with copper armor on their faces, and went straight to Yuan Kui, who was lying down. Yuan Kui also looked shocked, and before he could be surprised, three warriors rushed to him, slashing down with swords and axes in hand. Seeing this, Yuan Kui bowed down with his fat body and rolled to the ground. Several knives and axes missed, slashing the ornate seats carved from brown wood to shreds, and sawdust flew everywhere.
"Shuzier dare?" Yuan Kui, who was lying flat on the ground, glared angrily at Yuan Kang behind the armorer. Grabbing the shapeless seat with one hand, he slammed it into the three armor soldiers in front of him. And as the three armorers fell to the ground, Yuan Kui seized the gap of the knife and axe attack, pulled out a long knife from the seat, stood on the ground, held the scabbard with both hands, and slammed down to prop himself up, and the fat trembled for a while.
"Inserting an inside line in my three thousand guards, the concubine has really been planning for a long time. Yuan Kui pulled out the long knife from the scabbard, crossed it to his chest, his eyes were round, and a strong snort erupted from his nostrils, he was really angry.
"Uncle should have expected this day a long time ago. Yuan Kang said coldly. Yuan Kui didn't reply, he swung his sword horizontally, cut off the head of the first warrior who attacked, raised his left foot, and kicked his abdomen with gravity, so that the headless torso fell backwards, smashing the person behind him back. Yuan Kui struck the warrior on the right with his elbow, and the long knife handed by his right hand with his left hand slashed at the warrior attacking on the left, breaking the armor into two sections.
"The sage didn't expect the Yuan family to have such a thing as you. Yuan Kui took a step back, dodged the two axes that came over, and opened his right hand widely, separating the heads of the two axe warriors in front of him.
"The saint will not see you, the animal that deceives the king and the overlord. Yuan Kang snatched a long knife from the warrior beside him and slashed at Yuan Kui.
The two long knives rubbed together and rubbed them up and down, making an unpleasant and piercing sound. Taking advantage of this gap, the three warriors took out their axes from three directions at the same time, and slashed the three axes at different positions on Yuan Kui's back, and he roared in pain.
"Shuzi!" Yuan Kui's eyes turned red and he shouted, and the knife and axe that entered the flesh broke apart, and the warrior holding the handle of the axe was shocked by the tip of the axe, bleeding from the seven orifices, and the tendons and veins were broken, and Yuan Kang, who was resisting it, was also repelled by this shock. Yuan Kui angrily cut off the head of the warrior on his right. At the same time, two more knives slashed his left arm and right shoulder respectively, and red blood splattered.
"Ahh Yuan Kui was in pain, and he couldn't wait for his strength, so he knelt forward with a loud shout, kneeling on the ground, holding the knife with both hands, and clenching his teeth.
"The thief is in ambush!" Yuan Kang shouted when he saw this situation, and the four or five warriors raised their swords and axes in their hands and quickly surrounded them to cut down, but for a while, they were like cutting on gold and iron, and the blade of the axe did not sink into the flesh.
"Shuzi'an dares to bully me?" For some reason, Yuan Kui, who was still angry just now, suddenly laughed, with anger in his smile, and with a smile in his anger. And with his scolding, the four or five warriors surrounding him also broke their muscles and veins, and their seven orifices bled out. He stood up with the knife, his fat body retracted at a speed visible to the naked eye, as the fat shrank, the original black and yellow skin turned red, the muscles of the whole body rhythmically rhythmic, and a large amount of water detached from the surface of the body and sublimated into steam and spread.
"Do you dare to kill me?" Yuan Kui held a knife in one hand, and looked at Yuan Kang with horizontal eyebrows.
"Why don't you dare?" Yuan Kang sneered, and stepped forward with his knife, and the two long knives collided together again. Yuan Kui was fine, but Yuan Kang was knocked back dozens of steps the moment the two knives collided.
"Uncle's divine skills are getting better and better. Yuan Kang wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. "I can't imagine that dozens of Jingwei can't hurt you in the slightest. ”
"I thought you could be loyal for a while. Yuan Kui shook his head and raised his knife. "Then leave your whole corpse in the face of the whole family. ”
"Uncle just smiled, didn't he think that the victory was in his hands?" Yuan Kang smiled.
"Hmph!" Yuan Kui raised his knife and slashed at Yuan Kang.
"Do it!" Yuan Kang raised his knife to resist Yuan Gui's knife, but due to the huge pressure from top to bottom, he had to kneel on one knee and use his shoulder instead of his arm to resist the blade of the knife. With Yuan Kang's order, two steel nails shot in from outside the hall, approaching Yuan Kui's eyes, Yuan Kui was caught off guard, and only blocked one steel nail with one hand, but the other was firmly pierced into his eyeballs, screaming in response, the pain was unbearable. At the same time, a man dressed in armor flew in from outside the hall, holding a short sword, and pierced Yuan Kui's shoulder with a sword.
"I know what you know. Yuan Kang held on to his dislocated right shoulder.
Four more axe men came forward and swung their axes, but the blades of the axes were still embedded in the flesh as expected.
"What?" Yuan Kang shouted in disbelief. Yuan Kui angrily drew the short sword from his shoulder, beheaded the owner of the short sword, and killed all the warriors present.
"You are indeed the seed of the Yuan family. Yuan Kui dropped the head he was holding in his hand, held the sword in his right hand, and slowly walked to Yuan Kang's eyes, he raised his hand to grab the tail handle of the black nail and pulled it hard, pulling the black nail out with his eyeballs, and smacking it.
"Look up. Yuan Kui had already arrived, and Yuan Kang grabbed Yuan Kang's chin with his short sword, forcing him to raise his head. He opened his eyes, his left eye was empty but like an abyss, he looked down at Yuan Kang, who was kneeling and sitting, scarlet blood flowed in the abyss, along the cheekbones, over his cheeks, and on Yuan Kang's godless and empty right eye.
