Chapter 204: The Death of a Confidant (Part II)
Tian Qing was sure that Tian Wu was panicked at this time and didn't know what to do at all.
The best way to crack a planned conspiracy in advance is to have an accident that is completely unconsidered, and under such an accident, the plotters, the participants, and the executors do not know what to do, and each has his own thoughts.
Tian Qing has experienced, such as the accident of the death of the head of the family, Gongsun Sun, and the coup d'Γ©tat that led to the great civil war of the Tian clan of Qi when Tian Bu killed Gongsun Sun back then.
Tian Qing has experienced all of this, but Tian Wu has not experienced it, so Tian Qing feels that he has the chance to win.
Tian Wu is young, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the three or five ordinary dead soldiers are not his opponents, as long as they are close, they can be subdued.
And he was able to come up with such a strategy, which was somewhat related to the Mo family. In the first battle of Shangqiu that year, the Mo family first showed the Chu people to be ignorant and unscrupulous, and then suddenly broke out, and captured the king of Chu in one fell swoop with the help of the Chu people's ignorance of the roots, thus completely reversing the situation of the first battle of Shangqiu, and indirectly led to the early outbreak of the Song withdrawal from the Three Jin Alliance and the Battle of Daliang.
Since he is learning from history, Tian Qing knows that the only possibility of winning at this time is what he thinks now.
It was getting closer and closer, Tian Wu was still at a loss, and Tian Qing said secretly, "This matter is done!" β
When he was about to take the last three steps, Tian Qing suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and then a sharp pain came, and when he fell to the ground, he secretly said, "I'm resting!" β
The moment he fell to the ground, he was already exhausted, and he didn't know who did it until he died.
He didn't know, but the dead soldiers around him knew, and when they saw Tian Qing falling, they exclaimed.
It turned out to be the hand of an attendant beside Gongzi Wu, and after the attendant stabbed Tian Qing to death, he immediately drew his sword and plunged it into his abdomen, and with a sudden stir, his internal organs were broken, and he was lifeless.
This kind of pain is not endurable by ordinary people, but when he was dying, he shouted loudly, "There are three unrighteous people, and there are unrighteous people." I don't hate death, I only hate Tian Wu surrounded by guards, and I can't kill him. β
After saying that, he fell to the ground, bleeding like an infusion, and he died in an instant.
It's just that no one knows that what he thought when he was dying was not the same as what he said.
He didn't see that the two dead soldiers beside Tian Qing were not Mo people, nor did he see that this matter had been seen through by Tian Qing, he just thought that today's incident could be blamed on the Mo family. Gongzi originally wanted to get rid of Tian Qing, if I take this opportunity to kill Tian Qing, I can also be in the name of Gongzi's benevolence and righteousness.
As soon as the mind moved, I was afraid that there would be a change, so I started immediately.
When he was convinced that Tian Qing was dead, he immediately committed suicide, so that no one could know what he was for.
But he himself knew that it was the simple saying that a man dies for his confidant, and a woman is for those who please himself.
By blood, he was also a scholar.
It's just that when he was born, the family had declined, and when he was young, he was successful in learning swords, and he was chased and killed by the enemy in a fight with people in the market, and fled to Linzi, and took refuge in Tian He, who was not a Qi Marquis at that time.
Relying on one-handed swordsmanship, Tian He treated him with the courtesy of a sergeant and made him rich.
Later, when he returned to his hometown and killed more than 30 enemies in a row, Tian He came forward to make him innocent.
And that's just one of them.
The most important thing is that his teeth are a little deformed and bulging, like a rabbit, often ridiculed, and once Tian He met the retainers and ridiculed, Tian He reprimanded, "Zhong Ni judges people by appearance, loses Zi Yu, and the glory of the scholar lies in the body?" β
"Yan Zi is five feet, shaking the front of the king of Chu outside, and shaking the rebellion of Cui Zi inside."
"Mo Zhai is bald, sweeping the world, and there are hundreds of people who die in the service."
"It is ugly to destroy the Ming Dynasty in Tai, study in Wu, and learn from three hundred disciples."
"Is this something that good-looking people can compare?"
With just this one sentence, this person regards Tian He as a confidant, and this one word is enough to give up his life.
Since then, he has had the idea of being loyal to the Tian family, but he has never had the opportunity.
Sometimes making a choice is not a matter of a moment, but an accumulation of many years before it.
Today's incident happened suddenly, he had participated in the planning before, and knew that what Gongziwu was worried about was the public opinion after killing Tian Qing and how to suppress the generals.
But such an incident suddenly appeared, although the previous plan was meaningless, but it also made the dead man think of a way to protect the reputation of the son and kill Tian Qing.
Before he died, he thought that maybe if he did this, Childe would misunderstand himself and even hate himself, but so what? Tian He is his own master, and he has made a promise in his heart for the original sentence, even if no one knows, even if he is misunderstood, even if his body is chopped up, so what?
In the past, Yu let swallow charcoal paint body, just to repay his confidant, why can't he?
A few years ago, Nie Zheng gave up Yan Zhongzi's entrustment, so that the world knew that Nie Zheng actually reneged on his promise and went to Lushui to help his friends and confidants, Nie Zheng still didn't care about the name of Beinuo, why couldn't he?
Their parents are dead, their wives are their own, and they die to repay their confidants, even if they are slaughtered?
So he stabbed the sword.
Death is a common thing for these dead soldiers.
But even if Tian Qing's dead soldier is like Tian Qing, before he dies, he must ask his friends to tell his master that he is to repay his master's kindness and not betrayed.
The name behind him, or the image in the master's heart, is far more important than life and death.
By the time the sword entered his belly, he was dead without regrets.
All these changes are in the light of light.
Tian Qing's dead soldiers also experienced the uneasy tension between this lightning and flint, experienced the surprise of Tian Qing's appearance, and finally experienced the shock of the death of their master.
The dead man next to Tian Wu said that there were three righteous people, but the dead man next to Tian Qing knew that those two friends and partners were not at all, where did the three people come from?
Originally, they knew that Tian Wu was going to do it, but now that Tian Qing is dead, they are even more sure that it was Tian Wu's plan.
In the midst of the shock, a dead soldier from Tian Qing shouted, "At that time, Tian Wu's plan will be to kill Tian Wu and avenge the Lord!" β
Raising his sword and stabbing it, Tian Qing's remaining dead soldiers also drew their swords and moved forward, but there were too many changes, and the people around Tian Wu had already taken precautions.
Although those dead soldiers were angry and had the heart to die, after all, there were few people, and most of them were killed in an instant.
Only one dead soldier struggled to stab five or six people to death, and at this time he was already covered in blood, but he still struggled and finally knelt down next to Tian Qing's body.
The guards of Tian Wu behind him had already raised their swords, but the dead man seemed to be unaware, and the sword in his hand did not block the sword that stabbed him in the back, but cut his wrist, knelt beside Tian Qing's corpse with blood, and said in a deep voice, "Master, I swear by blood, those two did not betray you." My friend asked me to tell you, but I didn't keep my promise, so don't forget it if you return! β
After the words of the blood oath were spoken, he was also killed next to Tian Qing's body, but at the last moment before he died, he used his last strength to move his body away, because pressing on the master's body was an insult to the master.
And at the last moment of his life, he wiped the jade pendant that was stained with blood after Tian Qing fell, and then died.
The change has been calmed, the corpses near the military tent are all over the ground, and the blood is pouring into the nose, Tian Wu reacted to all this, and his nervous face finally recovered a trace of blood.
He was already a little unable to stand, and the people around him immediately helped him aside, and the confidant hurriedly said, "Childe...... It was extremely dangerous just now. I'm afraid that Tian Qing's dead man will see the problem, so he will do this. Speaking of the reputation of the fight just now, I am afraid that Tian Qing has already understood Childe's plan, if Tian Qing is close, I am afraid that Childe will not be lucky. β
Tian Wu also figured out the Tao at this time, and his heart palpitated, and he nodded, "Tian Qing is brave, and three or five people can't be defeated." If he does his hand, I will be restrained. It's just that...... That person has been with me for a long time, why was he actually bewitched by the Mo family? β
The convincing adviser knelt down and said, "Childe, that man died for you." If it is really the Mo family who assassinates this person, I am afraid that you will not be lucky. Besides, the Mo family is not fighting and does not like to assassinate, and now that the soldiers and horses are strong and imposing, why should they be assassinated? β
"I'm afraid that he wants to repay the kindness of the prince and marquis, and he will not hesitate to die."
"In this way, Gongzi has no responsibility to kill Tian Qing, the Mo family has an unjust order, which can be pushed to the Mo family, although the generals have doubts, they have to believe it."
Tian Wu nodded in conviction, looked at the body of the dead soldier who died for him, and really appreciated it in his heart, and thought of what to do in his heart, but said on his lips, "This person is loyal and brave, and he must not be rewarded." But he is dead, and he can only reward his family......"
He knew it wouldn't work.
But he must say.
The counsellor immediately said, "No! Childe, never reward his family. β
"He died for the reputation of Childe, if Childe rewards his family, isn't it telling the world that Tian Qing is what you want to kill?"
Tian Wu sighed with a sad look, "Die for me, but you can't reward his family; Die for me, but bear the name of the Lord. Is this okay? β
"Even if I am blamed by the Qi people, I can't chill the hearts of the warriors. He could die for me, but can't I bear the blame for him? He regards me as a confidant, and a confidant can be entrusted with the future, but how can I care about my family? Stop, I've made up my mind! Let Qi people scold me, but I can't hurt my confidant! β
A group of close attendants knelt down one after another, weeping bitterly, and said, "The heart of the son is difficult to hide from the sun and the moon." Just ask Childe to retract such an idea, if you do, then what is the purpose of his death? β
"Please fulfill his loyalty!"
A group of people persuaded for a long time, and then Tian Wu sighed and said, "That's the only way!" β
It seems that this is indeed the only way to go.
But for the man's family, it didn't end there.
The man's death was just the beginning. Tian Qing was assassinated, if such a big thing was reported back to Linzi, his family would be killed, only in this way could the people of Qi believe that this person was an assassin of the Mo family.
The people of Linzi didn't see all this with their own eyes, so they needed to watch a killing to be sure of the news. If he didn't even kill his family for such a big thing as Tian Qing's assassination, but kept silent, I was afraid that there would be rumors in the market that Tian Wu killed Tian Qing.
The man was satisfied with his death, and he also thought that his wife would be killed, so if he was killed, it seemed to be expected, and he knew about it, and he would not complain.
Those who are confidants will die as they deserve.
Not only did he die well, but for Tian Wu, this corpse had many uses.
Tian Wu finally got up and bowed to the corpse of the dead man, and said in a deep voice, "Who said that the world will be in chaos?" Who says the way of a gentleman is not good? If someone is like this, the world will not be chaotic and the world will not perish. The Mohist way of seeking profit will never defeat the righteousness of the world, and the world will be peaceful after all! β
After boosting his morale and sighing with emotion, he immediately began to discuss how to end the affairs in the army.
There were too many big things, and Tian Wu didn't have time to think about what to do with the dead man's family, and it wasn't his turn to think about it.
Where do you have the mood, the mind and the time to think about the little things in the midst of this big event?
Besides, it would be best to go with the flow and destroy his family, so why bother thinking about it?
At the moment of the final worship, that person was just a corpse, no different from those lying outside, and those who were slaughtered in Wucheng, and those who were slaughtered by the Sanjin Dynasty and not redeemed by the three Jin Dynasty that were used to make the Qi people resent Jiang Qi. A useless corpse that stinks, grows hair, rots, and grows maggots over time.
