Chapter 13: The Emperor of Troubled Times is the Saddest
Just when Liu Xie and Lan Ying conspired to edict Dong Guiren's brother Dong Shushen, they were so careful, but they didn't expect that Zhang Xin, the regular attendant, secretly crouched under the steps outside the door and never left at all, when Zhang Xin heard the conversation between the two, he hurriedly and quietly withdrew from Jianzhang Palace, and flew straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhang Xin ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion out of breath, and as soon as he saw the mansions of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he shouted loudly: "Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's big thing is not good." "I met him head-on, but he collided with a general with a leopard's head and eyes.
The general said angrily: "You eunuch, what are you yelling about!"
Zhang Xin shivered when he saw the general who was glaring at him angrily, the person who came was Cao Cao's general Dian Wei, Dian Wei was upright, and he was most unaccustomed to these sycophant eunuchs, plus Zhang Xin pretended to be full of him, and he felt a wave of nausea like eating flies, and slapped Zhang Xin in the face, causing Zhang Xin to turn around in place, and his molars were almost knocked down, and he covered his cheeks and called "yo, yo".
Dian Wei grabbed Zhang Xin's collar with one hand and shouted: "You birdman, the prime minister is resting, disturbing the prime minister, you can afford it!"
Zhang Xin hurriedly said: "Don't be annoyed by the general, don't be annoyed by the general, if there is something important, even if you borrow a hundred guts from the lower officials, you don't dare to disturb the prime minister, and you accidentally collided with General Dian, I really can't help the general, and the lower officials are here to fight with you." After saying that, he started to do it again and again.
Although Dian Wei was disgusted with this eunuch in his heart, he thought: "This eunuch's words seem to have some truth, and inform the prime minister, don't make a mistake." After thinking about it, he looked at Zhang Xin, and said angrily: "Wait, I will go to inform the prime minister, and if there are some trivial things that disturb the prime minister's rest, I will turn around and pick your skin." ”
Zhang Xin was stunned by Dian Wei's gaze, but still replied unnaturally to himself: "Annoying general." ”
At the time of a cup of tea, I saw Dian Wei shouting outside the door with one foot in the door: "Hey, that birdman, the prime minister called you to see you." ”
Zhang Xin said "whoop", then lifted his robe and trotted into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the main hall, Cao Cao sat behind the bookcase in civilian clothes, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood on both sides, looking at him with an angry face. ”
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Zhang Changshou doesn't need to be polite, what is the important thing for you to come late at night?"
Zhang Xin settled down, and recounted the conversation between Liu Xie and Lan Ying that he had just heard at Liu Xie's place and Cao Cao, Cao Cao stroked his beard lightly, and said in a slow voice: "Dong Cheng old thief, I haven't gone to look for him, but he came to touch my moldy head, which is really killable." As he spoke, he slapped the table with his eyes wide open, so frightened that Zhang Xin almost lost his pants.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then turned to Dian Wei and asked, "Ziman, do you know who the cultivators are?"
Dian Wei is a rough man, he only believes in the iron halberd in his hand, how can he know about the cultivator, so he shook his head and said I don't know, Cao Cao smiled helplessly, knowing that he asked the wrong person. He turned to Xu Chu and asked, "Zhongkang, do you know?"
Xu Chu clasped his fists and bowed and said: "The last general knows something, it is rumored that these cultivators are all masters outside the world, they all have the ability to fly to the sky and escape to the earth, and they are thousands of miles away from the ability to fly to the sky and take people's heads, but they generally do not interfere in the battle in the world, but there are exceptions, such as the Yellow Turban Army." ”
Cao Cao stroked his beard, remembering the Yellow Turban Army he had fought with, as if he was really a little evil.
Xu Chu said again: "However, the so-called cultivators among those people in the Yellow Turban Army, according to the last general, are all unpopular, otherwise they would not be so vulnerable, the last general was fortunate to see a real cultivator once when he was young, that person stepped on a flying sword, and the speed was a few points faster than the arrows shot, which is really an existence that we dare not imagine." ”
Cao Cao was also shocked when he heard Xu Chu's words, thought about it and gritted his teeth and said: "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, if it is true that the kid is really taken away by the immortals to practice, then on the day he returns from his studies, he will definitely take revenge on us, then wouldn't we be in danger, Ziman, Zhong Kang went to order five hundred soldiers, killed Dong Cheng's entire family, and wiped out the three clans." ”
In the Jianzhang Palace, Cao Cao glared angrily at Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon bed, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister worked hard day and night for the Han Dynasty, but Your Majesty contracted Dong Cheng to frame the old minister like this, and the old minister was unwilling!"
Liu Xie's face was already frightened, his body trembled like chaff, and his lips trembled: "Cheng... Prime Minister, I was confused for a while, and I fell for the old thief, and I knew that I was wrong. “
Seeing that Liu Xie was soft, Cao Cao's face softened a little, and he threw a pre-prepared edict in front of Liu Xie and said: "The old minister also knows that it must be Dong Cheng's demagoguery that caused this, and he must kill the old thief in order to correct his name. ”
Liu Xie trembled and picked up the edict, unfolded it, and his heart was full of despair, and he endured and was unwilling, threw the edict on the ground, and spit out a word with difficulty, "Quasi." He couldn't say any more, Lan Ying, who was escorted by two soldiers on the side, shouted loudly: "Cao Cao's dog thief, you are the real culprit who has brought disaster to the country and the people, you are the one who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the world, you are the power traitor, the power traitor!"
Cao Cao glanced at Lan Ying contemptuously, he admired her a little in his heart, and took two steps forward to ask, but Zhang Xin rushed forward with a sharp knife in his hand and stabbed Lan Ying's heart, Lan Ying used the last strength of her body, spit a mouthful of spit on Zhang Xin's face, and there was no more life, Cao Cao shook his head, looked back at Liu Xie, who had no master of the six gods, and turned away.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said, Cao Cheng is the pillar of the country, but he has been repeatedly framed by the national abbot Dong Cheng and others, I mistakenly believe in slander, and almost self-destruct the Great Wall, and now it has been ascertained, Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Liu Bei, Ma Teng, Chongji, Wu Shuo, Wu Zilan and other Ming canonical punishment, Dong Cheng, Yi three clans, Qin this!" With Zhang Xin's fierce laughter, the Dong Mansion became a hell on earth, screaming miserably, bleeding like a river, the soldiers were crazy to kill men and women, old and young, and in a few moments only a small half of the more than 300 people in the Dong Mansion were left, and a few loyal family members protected two men and two women while resisting, while retreating into the backyard.
"Seventh Young Master, go quickly, keep your useful body, and avenge the adult's wife!" A family member struggled to push a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy into the corner door of the back garden, and as soon as he closed the door, he was pierced by a spear in his back, and screamed, as if he didn't let go of his hands to open and close the door, and grabbed the door knocker until he swallowed his last breath.
Several soldiers struggled to break open the knocker that the family was still holding onto, pushed the corpse open, kicked open the corner door of the back garden and rushed in, a young man with a sad face was holding a long sword in his hand, staring at them with blood-red eyes, and the soldiers led by him couldn't help laughing and said: "Brothers, you see, this chick still wants to compare with our brothers, it's really funny!"
The young man known as the Seventh Young Master was Dong Shu's body in Lan Ying's mouth, I saw that his eyes were about to crack, his teeth were squeaking, he struggled to carry the long sword forward, he wanted to kill these beasts, but at the moment when the sword was split, the spear of the soldier led by him was raised, and the long sword flew out like wings, which made the soldier led by him laugh loudly, and it was over, Dong Shu's body was completely desperate, he simply closed his eyes, and roared angrily: "Come on, give the master a good time, the master will not let go of you dog thieves even if he is a ghost!" ”
At the moment when the soldiers were smiling and each of them was about to stab their spears into Dong Shu's body, they suddenly stopped in front of him, and they couldn't move forward at all, which made several soldiers stunned.
