Chapter 710: Two Brothers with Different Destinies
Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.
In the palace of the Son of Heaven, the palace maids and attendants were all expelled from the palace, and only the Son of Heaven and his henchman Han Xuan were left in the huge hall.
"Did you know that on the city tower today, that assassin was almost able to stab that sharp dagger into Lu Bu's chest! It's a pity, it's just a little bit. ”
The excited tone was mixed with a little loneliness and unwillingness.
Hearing this, Han Xuan glanced in the direction of the outside of the hall and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, be quiet, beware of the wall with ears." ”
Liu Xie didn't care, waved his robe, and said very conceitedly: "What are you afraid of, there are only you and me in this hall, and a word will not reach Lu Bu's ears." ”
Whenever Liu Xie felt aggrieved, he would drive away the palace maids and attendants in the palace and vent his emotions in the palace alone.
"Your Majesty, did you really send that assassin?"
Han Xuan bowed his waist and asked worriedly, looking extremely frightened.
"I?"
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little self-deprecating: "How can I have that ability, the current I am not so much the Son of Heaven as a dispensable decoration." Lu Bu ignored me, and the hundred officials regarded me as a child, and no one really thought about me. ”
"Your Majesty, only when you have to endure hardships can you become a master."
"Heh, I've been suffering for many years. First there was Dong Zhuo, and now there is Lu Bu, when will I be able to rule the world like my father! ”
Liu Xie roared, looking at the whole world, in addition to being able to summon the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, who else would listen to the orders of him, the Son of Heaven?
Isn't that a great tragedy?
"It is said that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. I want Lu Bu to hand over his military power and go back to Merge State, but will he obediently hand it over? ”
"Father, tell your son, what to do! How to do it! ”
In the empty hall, the sadness of a generation of emperors echoes.
At the same time, in the Situ Mansion of Chang'an City.
In the secret study, there were only Wang Yun and Fu Wan.
The white-haired Wang Yun was rarely angry, pacing back and forth in the room, angrily reprimanding Fu Wan: "Uncle Fu Zhong, Uncle Fu Zhong, you are really capable!" Without consulting the old man, he sent an assassin to assassinate Lu Bu, but the assassin jumped into the city and died. Otherwise, even if we have 10,000 heads, it won't be enough for Lu Bu to cut off! ”
"Situ Gong, it's really not me!"
After today's meeting, he was invited to Situ's mansion by Wang Yun.
However, before he could ask the reason, Wang Yun was scolded by his head and face, which made Fu Wan feel extremely aggrieved. Although he hated Lu Bu, he was not so bold as to be so big.
This kind of thing, if you are not careful, it is to raid the family and exterminate the family, and the risk is too great.
Wang Yun obviously didn't believe it, and his black face was extremely sullen: "It's all this time, you are still pretending to be stupid with the old man, if it's not you, who will it be?" ”
After Fu finished speaking, he had no choice but to swear with a curse: "The sky is above, I swear here, if this matter is instigated by me, I will not die well, and the sky will hit five thunders!" ”
"It's really not you?"
After making this poisonous oath, Wang Yun couldn't help but believe a little.
"My Situ Gong, it's really not me this time, at first I thought it was your old-school killer!"
Wang Yun glanced at him and returned to his position and sat down. He is not so stupid, not to mention that because of Diao Chan's relationship, now he and Lu Bu are also close, and the status of the Wang family has begun to flourish.
"Who could that be?"
Wang Yun frowned slightly, among the characters he knew, only the one with the greatest possibility of being finished.
"You say, could it be a play written and acted by Lu Bu? Just want to take the opportunity to make trouble and clean it again? Fu asked tentatively.
Wang Yun shook his head, it should be unlikely, today the assassin was clearly moved, and he also quenched poison on the dagger, and almost killed Lu Bu.
If it is said to be self-written and self-acted, then this play is inevitably too much.
Besides, today's Guanzhong is already Lu Bu's world, as long as these people know the current affairs, Lu Bu will not rush to kill them all.
"What about the envoys of the Western Regions? Is it possible? Fu then asked.
Wang Yun shook his head again, those envoys were all shocked by Lu Bu's army, and they were all terrified to death, who would dare to touch his tiger whiskers.
Excluding these factors, the biggest possibility should be the shadows planted by the Kwantung princes in Chang'an.
It's just that there are so many princes in Kwantung, and Wang Yun can't think of who sent the killer for a while.
However, this move is not very smart, in case he misses and is caught, it will completely anger Lu Bu, and it will lead to a catastrophe.
Just when the people in Chang'an City were panicking, on Yangqian Mountain in the southeast of Luoyang outside the Guan.
The altitude of Yangqian Mountain is relatively high, and the three peaks are parallel to the east and west, with a total length of three kilometers.
Two years ago, a gang of bandits occupied Yangqian Mountain, built a thief village on the mountain, and made a living by plundering passing business travelers.
Due to its geographical location at the junction of Yin, Chenliu and Yingchuan in Henan, Yangqianshan belongs to the three-regardless zone. Therefore, as long as these bandits do not commit crimes within the jurisdiction of each county, the local county guards will turn a blind eye and ignore it.
After two years of development, the bandit gang, which originally consisted of only a few dozen people, has now multiplied to nearly 1,000 people.
The big boss of the cottage is named Xu Guang, who is good at using a pair of plate axes, and his power is incomparable. Many of the green forest bandits who went up the mountain to challenge were defeated by him one after another, and many of them took refuge in Yangqian Mountain because of their bold temperament.
On this day, a fast horse came from the west and stopped at the foot of Yangqian Mountain.
The horseman on horseback dismounted and galloped up the hill.
When he came to the walled hall, the horseman saw the big boss Xu Guang, stepped forward and whispered in his ear, and Xu Guang's face became extremely solemn.
After the cavalry finished reporting, Xu Guang left the walled hall, came to the stone wall of the forbidden land in the back mountain, and twisted the ground mechanism.
The stone door opened, and Xu Guang walked in, familiar with the road, obviously not the first time he came back here.
The cave is big and well-lit.
After Xu Guang turned left and right for several passages, he came to the door of a large dark room, and said respectfully: "Lord, the ugly cow asks to see." ”
"Come in."
A cold voice came from the dark room, without any emotion.
Xu Guang pushed open the stone door and walked in, and there was an extremely young fair-skinned young man sitting in the dark room, who was constantly reading through the information collected from all over the world.
"My lord, Yinhu has failed." Xu Guang's voice was a little uncomfortable.
The expression on the young man's face did not change, and he did not raise his head, as if he was muttering to himself: "Sure enough, gambling on luck is still unreliable!" ”
In fact, this world should have been sat by him.
