Chapter 10 Peaks and Loops
Hong Ru witnessed everything in the courtyard and said, "Evil obstacles, evil obstacles, Wen Yuan, let him go! I don't want to see him!"
Hong Shan pushed Xie Tong out, but Xie Tong was like pig iron on the soles of his feet, not moving at all, and said, "Even if Xie dies here, you won't let your trick succeed!"
Cao Pingyang stared at the burden in Xie Tong's hand, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said viciously, "Miss Hong Shan, it's not that I'm ruthless, but this kid is too stubborn!"
Hong Shan found a dagger out of nowhere, put it across his neck, and said, "Brother Tong, you can go!
Xie Tong said, "Shan'er, you are so ruthless, why do you treat me like this!"
Hong Shan cried, "Brother Tong, forget me! Go and leave Chang'an with Cai Wei, never come back!"
Xie Tong picked up the burden and left the Hong Mansion with blood dripping in his heart, and when he parted, Hong Shan was already in tears.
He will never forget that decisive scene.
When he returned to the post house annex, it was already midnight, everyone had already rested, only Yu Yi Wudaunt was insisting, he was worried about Huo Zixin's injury, so he stayed up late. He didn't know where to get two jugs of wine, and drank it to himself.
Xie Tong was already numb, and he didn't know how he walked back to the inn.
This series of blows has completely made him lose hope, especially Hong Shan's tearful and resolute appearance, which makes him unbearable, he feels that he is a waste, a complete waste, he can't even protect the woman he loves, what else can he do, and even his good brother almost died, all of this is deliberately targeted by the enemy.
Even more hateful. Song Wenyuan, who defected in battle, is a good brother who walks side by side in the rivers and lakes. In order to cater to the captain, he was completely abandoned. He even carefully planned to murder him, which made him begin to question his brotherly feelings, is it possible that everyone compromises in power and money?
Yi Wuxing observed his words and looks, and when he saw that he had lost his soul, he knew that this trip was extremely unsmooth, and said, "Sit down and have a drink!"
Xie Tong put the Qinggang sword on the table, picked up the wine jug, and poured half a pot before saying, "What's wrong with Huo boy."
Yi Wuxing sighed and said, "The kid has been unconscious. The internal injuries are quite serious, but his life is no longer in serious danger, but if he wants to recover completely, I am afraid that he will have to recuperate for a while, hey, it is not who did this, I checked his injuries, and there are as many as five or six people besieging him, and all of them are good hands. His back was even more injured by a filigree weapon, and the wound was extremely difficult to heal."
Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Huo Xiaozi was besieged by Cao Pingyang and others, and the back injury was caused by Zhen Yuanzi's dust, except for the two of them." There are also Bong Mutsuru and Ouchi master Muzong". Xie Tong paused, and then said, "Maybe Song Wenyuan will be added!"
Yi Wuxing said movingly: "What! You actually broke into the Hong Mansion, isn't he your good brother? Why would he be in the same league with Sima Xuan's people." ”
Xie Tong said, "What a good brother! He even planned to besiege me with a few people, and Lao Tzu almost didn't come back! If it weren't for Cao Pingyang secretly letting me go. Maybe the end is worse than Zixin. ”
Yi Wudaunt didn't make a sound, he sat quietly at the table. drank two glasses of wine in a row, and said, "No wonder the enemy has tried and tested our conspiracy repeatedly, all because Song Wenyuan is behind to give advice, he knows you too well, it can be said that this series of conspiracies are all aimed at your weaknesses, Lao Tzu doesn't understand, why the dignified son of the Song family, the general with heavy troops, wags his tail and begs for mercy to Sima Xuan."
Xie Tong said, "Maybe I misjudged him from the beginning, people will become, especially in front of power and beauty."
Yi Wudaunt didn't think much of his words, he thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay, at least you still have us." I don't even trust our brothers!"
Xie Tong looked at him gratefully, and said, "Junior brother has no master of the six gods now, I really don't know what to do next?"
Yi Wudaunt said, "The time is quite sufficient, the day after tomorrow is the day of King Huai's funeral, dignitaries and nobles have to send a ride, if you can, you can take a risk, we hide in the funeral team, see the opportunity to act, it is best to capture Sima Xuan and other important people, do not worry about them not letting go, but in this way, maybe your future will be all in vain, and you have to live a life of avoiding pursuit and wandering the rivers and lakes, are you mentally prepared!".
Xie Tong said, "Let's talk about it!" In fact, he already had a plan in his heart, planning to assassinate alone, so that he would not drag down the brothers, and he could also give it a go, without worry.
At this moment, the knock on the door sounded softly, and Yi said fearlessly and displeasedly, "Come in!"
The person who came was the guard of the inn, and the guard said softly, "Master Xie, someone is looking for you outside, please go out for a while!"
Xie Tong hesitated for a moment, who would come to him in the middle of the night!
Yi Wudaunt asked, "What does this person look like?"
The guard said, "The villain didn't see clearly."
Yi Wudaunt said, "I'll go with you to see!"
Xie Tong said, "Big brother don't panic, it shouldn't be a bad person, they don't have the courage to commit murder here, you stay and take care of them!
Xie Tong followed the guards to the outside of the post house, only to see a carriage parked at the corner near the post house, and saw this carriage. Xie Tong was overjoyed, he hurriedly ran over, knelt down outside the carriage, and said, "The last general will see the prince!"
The person who came was none other than the rising star of the royal family, Li Zheng, the king of Wu.
Xie Tong had almost forgotten about this prince who had the power to hold the army, and now that he saw him, he was naturally overjoyed, if he could, the difficulties in front of him would be self-defeating.
Li Zheng's voice came from inside the carriage, saying, "Get on the train!"
Xie Tong hurriedly got up and got into the carriage!
Li Zheng was dressed in a gorgeous costume, wearing a crown, and there was a domineering spirit between his eyebrows, he looked at Xie Tong and said, "Since you have come to Chang'an, why don't you come to meet this king!"
Although Li Zheng's words were reproachful, Xie Tong didn't have any temper at all, but had a sense of usefulness, Li Zheng's reproach and Sima Xuan's picky meaning is not the same, one is a high-minded complaint, so that the other feels like a slightly reproachful friendship, Xie Tong smiled and said, "What the prince criticized is that the last general has been delayed because of some things, so that he can't get out." Please forgive me!"
Li Zheng smiled and said, "Isn't it because of the matter of the Taiwei! This king also heard about it, saying that Sima Xuan's father and son scolded you in the Huaiwang Mansion." But it's all small things, and it's not a big deal."
Xie Tong nodded awkwardly. He wanted to ask the prince to help him, but he couldn't say it for a while.
Li Zheng said, "This southern expedition, this king has heard some of your deeds, and they are all wonderful, tell this king about it."
Xie Tong was stunned for a moment, knowing that the prince was also young and liked the stories spread on the rivers and lakes, so he hurriedly picked out a few important things and told them to King Wu simply.
Li Zheng listened. With a smile, he said, "It's so thrilling, heh, I have a hero like you in Datang, I'm afraid that Zhongxing is promising, General Xie, please rest assured, this king will definitely play his father's emperor to show the general's merits!"
When Xie Tong heard this, a trace of bitterness flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Li Zheng saw that Xie Tong's expression was unnatural, and he seemed to have something on his mind. "What happened?"
Xie Tong knelt down and said, "There will be something in the end that I beg the prince, hoping that the prince will help!"
Li Zheng said, "Say it!"
Xie Tong told the story of the attack on Shaoxing so far.
Li Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, and said angrily, "There is such a thing." He paused and said, "Since the victory of the Southern Expedition, Sima Xuan's father and son have indeed risen and are in the limelight, and they have formed gangs in the DPRK and China more than before. This Wang Hai only said that he was forming a party for personal gain, but he was unexpectedly ambitious. No one cares about how you deceive me, General Xie, is what you said true?"
Xie Tong said resolutely, "Every sentence is true." If the prince can't believe it, just ask Li Xiao and his son!"
Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "No need, this king's vision will never be wrong, and I trust you to be an iron-clad man, and I will never hide it in this matter, but Song Wenyuan has taken a stinky move, rest assured, this king will definitely seek justice for you."
Xie Tong said happily, "Thank you Lord Wang, but Miss Hong Shan's matter is quite tricky, please ask the Lord to help, if you can't marry Miss Hong Shan, you would rather die!"
Li Zheng looked at Xie Tong and said with a smile, "What an infatuated man, this matter is quite tricky, this king does not dare to guarantee that Dr. Hong will marry his daughter to you, and he does not have that ability." He paused, watching Xie Tong's face turn from red to white, he suddenly felt funny in his heart, and he said again, "But this king can guarantee that the two families will not marry in the short term, let alone announce the marriage, as for whether the general can hold the beauty, it depends on whether the general has this blessing!"
Xie Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart also fell, he wanted to ask Li Zheng what kind of means he would take, but when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed back, which was very uncourteous, everyone has his own ways and practices, although he was deeply appreciated by King Wu, but he still had to be a little measured, he smiled and said, "Thank you Lord Wang, Xie is willing to be loyal to Lord Wang!"
Li Zheng frowned and said, "The general's idea is very problematic, your allegiance should be to the current saint, or the Tang Empire, not me, ha, it's quite interesting to chat with you, this king admires you, victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, it is indeed a talent that can be created, when you have time, chat with this king, it's almost dawn, go! This prince is going to prepare to go to court."
Xie Tong walked back to the courtyard, Yi Wudang was still waiting for him, and when he saw him walk into the room with a smile on his face, he said, "Who is so magical, he can make you smile!"
Xie Tong smiled mysteriously and said, "It's Li Zheng, King of Wu." He sat down at the table, shook the wine jug, poured the rest of the wine into the wine glass, and said, "Ha, it's good to find a backer, King Wu has already taken this matter over, not only to deal with the ambitious Sima Xuan, but also to help me block the marriage between the two families, ha, how can the little brother not smile! Come, let's celebrate." ”
Yi Wuxing raised his glass and drank it all, and scolded with a smile, "Look at your unproductive appearance, but even if King Wu's identity is complied with, I'm afraid that the marriage between the two families will not be able to be openly prevented, because the Hong family and the Sima family are not royal families, and even the saints can't interfere, why should King Wu dare to make reckless statements!"
Xie Tong said unhappily, "The little brother has just relieved his heart, you just come out and pour cold water, this is not good! But with King Wu's person, since he dares to promise this, there must be his way, let's not speculate."
Yi Wuxing glanced at him and said, "Look at your energetic appearance, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for a while, you come to see Huo Xiaozi! With that, he walked out of the room.
Xie Tong saw him leave, seeing that it was not yet dawn, he drank all the wine in the cup, and only then was he faintly sleepy, he stretched his waist, leaned on Huo Zixin's bedside with his clothes, and fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
