Chapter 16 Negotiation (2)
"Lord Duan, my king is indeed unwell, and he has only improved slightly after delaying his medical treatment many times recently, and he is definitely not intentionally neglecting." Meng Bai rubbed his hands a little nervously.
"It doesn't matter." Duan Ye said with a smile, "The Lord of the Festival said yes, Duan Ye should obey his orders." This time the peace section industry must be promoted, ah. "It's very unpleasant to say this, and the gift just now can be received. Can you still do something after receiving the gift? Seeing that Mengbai's face was not good, Duan Ye leaned over again, and said with a smile: "But it's convenient to do it, but there is no problem." ”
"Oh, that's good, that's good." Mengbai breathed a sigh of relief. So the two laughed, but began to drink and rejoice. But Jiang Yu confessed the crime, chased after Bo Chun, and thought it was necessary to persuade him. In any case, Jiang Yu insisted that there was no preparation for a battle with the Qin army now. Duan Ye was a little skeptical, what was the specific identity of this jade, and why could he even enter the harem?
If there is nothing to say, it is short, the reception banquet ended in a hurry, and Meng Bai arranged for Duan Ye to wait until Guan Yi rested, and said that he would make the next step after meeting Bao Chun, and Duan Ye would not allow it. After everyone returned to Guanyi, Duan Ye did not take the opportunity to rest, and the first thing he did was to ask, "Duan Ping can delay the treatment of his injuries?" ”
Duan Ping had already taken the medicine, half lying on a recliner, and when he saw Duan Ye coming back, he hurriedly got up to greet him. Duan Ye hurriedly said: "No need, you have to rest more." Don't touch the wound, lest it be inappropriate. ”
Seeing Duan Ye come back, but didn't ask anything else, but asked about his injuries first, Duan Ping, an upright man, couldn't help but feel a little moist in the corners of his eyes. I have been in the army for some time, and although the love of the robe is deep, such intimate care is rare.
Liu Guo, another master of this trip, said: "The doctor said that Brother Duan Ping is only a skin injury, and the arrow is not poisonous, so there should be no scars. ”
"That's good, that's good." Duan Ye was very happy, "You are relieved to recuperate, and when you go back, the official will definitely ask for credit for you in front of the festival." ”
"Your Excellency." Duan Ping saw that all the people who came in were his own people, and said hurriedly, "There are many people who talk too much, and it is inconvenient to say too much about their humble duties." Now it can be concluded that the assassin's skills are higher than the lowly position, hand-to-hand combat, armed combat, lowly duty or can fight, bow and crossbow hidden weapon, lowly duty is not as good, hope that the adult wears soft armor, living in the room, and the lowly rank is accompanied by the left and right, so that he can be safe. ”
Several other guards on this trip also echoed him, hoping that Duan Ye would stay honest and ensure safety. Only Zhang Meng, who accompanied him, almost never spoke, and was silent and tight, but although Duan Ye paid attention, he didn't care, there are always some people who don't like to talk, so why bother to dig deeper.
Duan Ye was somewhat moved. I don't have anything to do with them, although I say that I protect myself out of duty, but Duan Ping is bleeding with injuries after all, and this love has to be repaid.
"But ......" Duan Ping thought for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, although the assassin's martial arts are strong, Duan Ping is not as good as Duan Ping, but Duan Ping still knows about it. ”
"What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Seeing that Duan Ping was a little embarrassed, Duan Ye said.
"The Assassin...... It's a. Duan Ping gritted his teeth and said with his eyes closed.
"Girls!" Liu Guo shouted, and the faces of several other entourages were also a little weird. Everyone knows Duan Ping's kung fu, there is nothing to say, but the strong have their own strong players, there are so many masters in the world, and it is nothing if the horse has a hoof. But if you lose to a woman, then it's ...... Weird, isn't it?
Duan Ye didn't have such an opinion at all, and said with a frown: "Are you sure? ”
"Sure." Although he felt ashamed, and although he saw that several other people had been squeezing their eyebrows, Duan Ping had already decided to turn around and beat them, but he still replied: "My lord, the humble position can be determined. The man was petite, and although he was masked and came and went like the wind, the woman's scent could not be wrong. Adults know that the lowly supervisor scout, the best at concealing and tracking, no smell can escape the lowly nose, it must be the fragrance of the woman. ”
"Then why did you lose it?" Liu Guo joked that the two had a very good relationship, and Liu Guo dared to make a joke about Duan Ping.
"That's because she was in a hurry, the woman drew her sword and cut off a wooden beam, trying to block it, but she smashed over a dung truck, and the smell rushed and she lost it." Duan Ping said with some embarrassment.
"Hahahaha, dung truck." Liu Guo and the others laughed. Duan Ping glared in annoyance, but he didn't have anything to refute.
"That's not right." Duan Ye said lightly, "It can't be such a coincidence, that dung truck must have been instructed by the assassin."
Duan Ping was an extremely shrewd person, or he wouldn't be able to control the scouts, so he quickly found clues, couldn't help patting his thigh, and said hatefully: "It's really hateful that he didn't figure out such joints at that time." Humble duties are not up to the expectations of adults, alas. “
Liu Guo was a little confused, and said, "My lord, what are you talking about, what did the assassin instruct the dung truck to do?" ”
"You're a pig's brain!" Duan Ping easily found a chance, "That turtle has been under martial law recently, the city gate is closed all day long, and the dung truck can only be transported out when it is concentrated, at this time, when the adults enter the city, how can there be a lone dung truck?" This must have been used by the Assassins to escape. ”
There were no stupid people present, so naturally it was easy to understand, and Liu Guo immediately said: "Then we can follow the vine and find out the assassin!" ”
"Not bad." Duan Ping said hatefully, "I still remember the appearance of the dung truck, give it a day!" No, in half a day, the humble position will definitely be found out, and then you can ask for someone from Qiuzi. ”
"No need." Duan Ye thought about it and said slowly.
"Why?" Duan Ping hurriedly said: "Instead of guarding against assassins, it is better to take the initiative to attack, strike first, and strike later." ”
Duan Ye stood up, patted Duan Ping's shoulder, and said with a smile: "This truth is naturally understood by the official, but there is no need to go to the dung truck." The man pushing the cart was none other than the Assassin's men. Finding the Assassin doesn't have to be a hassle. ”
"Oh?" The crowd was puzzled.
"There must be a motive for the assassination." Duan Ping said solemnly, "The biggest motive for assassinating me is to sabotage the peace, if I die, Jiexia will definitely attack the city with all his might, and it will be difficult to protect the turtle." Well, there are three kinds of people who want this to happen. ”
Pacing with his hands behind his back, Duan Ye said slowly: "The first type of people are people from other small countries in the Western Regions, especially the people of Qihu and Wensu, who most hope that our army and Qiuzi will be defeated. The second type of person, which is also easy to guess, is the people in Qiuzi City, the people in Qiuzi City, who hope that Bo Chun will step down. Even if we defeat Qiuzi, we still need to find an agent among the Qiuzi people, and at that time, their opportunity will come. ”
"What about the third type?"
"The third one." Duan Ye shook his head and said, "Actually, the third type of person, the possibility is very small, very small, because it is really not necessary. But...... But it can't be ruled out. ”
Seeing Duan Ping's eyes widen, Duan Ye smiled bitterly and said quietly: "It's the Jin people in Jiangnan." ”
