Chapter 203: The Death of a Confidant (Part II)
Half a moment ago, inside the big tent, Tian Qing and Gongziwu seemed to be talking happily, but they still did not touch the essence of the problem.
Gongziwu is just a difficulty that the two of them should help together at this time, and some things can be said very clearly in private, and there is no need to hide it.
Since there were only two of them, Gongzi Wu said: "Now that the Mo family has signed an unjust order, you and I are on the list." Even if I can be a prince one day, if I confess my guilt but only because I am a prince, then I am guilty after all. ”
Only by not confessing such sin can one be convinced. Could it be that the Qi people would pay homage to a sinful monarch? ”
These words are very meaningful, and Tian Qing understands what Tian Wu meant.
Tian Wu said that if he wanted to make Tian Qing feel relieved, he would not be able to abandon him no matter what, or take him out as a scapegoat. Because even if he is a scapegoat, it proves that he is guilty, but he has escaped punishment.
But Tian Qing understood that Wei Jun was guilty and lost the court debate and was sentenced to imprisonment by Jin Wengong, but in the end he still achieved restoration.
At this time, it is meaningless to believe or not, and Tian Qing is not ready to believe, so he can only rely on himself to protect himself in the complex whirlpool in the future.
But the key point, how to escape the siege of the Mo family this time, Gongziwu didn't say a word, but only said these useless nonsense, how to be in the future.
The key now is not what happens in the future, but how these tens of thousands of troops can be preserved now, now, now, and now.
But in the end, Gongziwu's words were still said in the past, Tian Qing also showed a very happy attitude to talk about each other, the key point is not to be discussed, Tian Qing only thinks that Gongziwu is young and ignorant, and only knows that he is talking about the future, and he doesn't care too much.
While the two were talking, a shout suddenly came from outside the tent.
Punish the unrighteous people of the world! According to the Mo family's unjust order, Tian Wu and Tian Qing will die today!
This scream was so loud that Tian Qing suddenly put his hips behind his feet and was about to get up.
In an instant, he only thought that Gongzi Wu wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.
After many years of experience, his hand has already touched the sword, but when he looks at it again, Gongziwu is also surprised, which does not look like a fake.
Tian Qing, who has also been a veteran for many years, hurriedly got up and shouted, "Son, go out with me quickly!" ”
Tian Wu was also panicked and at a loss in his heart, he had a careful plan before, taking all kinds of possibilities into account, but what he didn't expect was that there would be a hidden ink assassination at this time.
What he is most worried about now is the Mo family's unjust order, he is young and flustered, and when he hears this shout, his mind is blank.
Tian Qing shouted loudly, stretched out his arm, grabbed Tian Wu's hand, and ran out.
Tian Qing also knew that there were guards all around here, but when the shout sounded just now, he remembered a recent incident.
There are many assassinations.
If they were all assassins like that, it would indeed be safer to be in the military tent.
However, the assassination that shook the world in the Qin State in the west a few years ago made Tian Qing still have lingering palpitations.
At the Hebo Festival, Nie Zheng threw two iron thunders, although in the end, because a few children who sacrificed Hebo did not directly kill Qin Jun, it still caused chaos and created an opportunity for assassination.
The Mo family is the best at using gunpowder, and Tian Qing is only afraid that these assassins have iron thunder in their hands and throw them in, both of them.
Tian Wu had the intention of killing him, because Tian Wu was a son and the son of the Marquis of Qi.
Tian Qing didn't have the heart to kill Tian Wu, because it was difficult for him to end after he killed, and the soldiers he brought were not soldiers from his own fiefdom, but the army of Linzi, and it was impossible for him to rebel.
Some of the "slaves" in the tent also stood beside Tian Wu one after another, and in a panic, Tian Qing didn't think much about what was wrong with this.
took Tian Wu's hand out of the military tent, but Tian Qing saw that his two close dead soldiers were fighting, and one of the dead soldiers shouted words like injustice, covered in blood.
Tian Qing was shocked, he never expected that the people of the Mo family would actually infiltrate his side, and his vigilance against the Mo family was even deeper, and he said secretly: "The Mo family's demagogic technique is outstanding. These two people have been retainers for many generations, they have received a lot of favors, and they have saved me many times without fear of death, and they are grateful, and now these two people are actually bewitched by the Mo family, are there still people around them who can be trusted? ”
The two dead soldiers fought very hard, and when Tian Qing and Tian Wu appeared, one of the dead soldiers shouted: "Tian Wu will die today!" ”
After saying that, he rushed to Tian Wu, Tian Qing didn't know that this dead man was actually to save him, and he also thought that he would die today, so it was better to take this opportunity to feel that Tian Wu wanted to protect his master.
Although Tian Wu is also a nobleman and has practiced swords since he was a child, he is young after all, where can he match the momentum of the dead soldiers who have fought for many years, especially the dead soldiers who have the heart to die, how can Tian Wu stop it?
Tian Qing was already holding a sword in his hand when he rushed out, and when he saw that the dead man was approaching and rushed straight to Tian Wu, he blocked it with a horizontal sword, as long as his heart could block the ten steps of killing, the surrounding dead soldiers would definitely be able to kill him.
But he didn't expect that this dead man didn't care about Tian Qing's block at all, stretched out a hand to make a shield, and let Tian Qing's sharp sword slash at his arm, but the sword in his right hand did not stop stabbing at Gongzi Wu's chest.
It's just that he was already at the end of the crossbow at this time, and although Tian Qing's sword didn't block him, the dead soldier of Tian Wu behind him had already pounced and killed the assassin.
When the assassin was dying, he took a deep look at Tian Qing and smiled.
At this time, there was chaos near the big tent, and several dead soldiers around Tian Qing also rushed to Tian Qing's side, but after all, there were more people in Gongzi Wu.
At this time, I was afraid that it would be too late to explain, and I didn't know whether it was true or not, and when one person saw that the two dead soldiers had been killed, he praised loudly: "The warriors around Childe are like fighting back!" ”
It's a compliment, or at least it sounds.
Each country has an elite guard by the king's side, but the reputation of the elite guard varies from country to country.
For example, Chu Zhiche Guang, that is the guards of the battlefield, invested in the intractable battlefield in order to turn the tide of the war.
For example, Zhao Zhi's counterfight, which is the most courageous personal guard, because Zhao has had an incident of Yu Rang's assassination, and there has also been an incident of Zhao Zihammer killing the king, after that incident, the guards of Zhao called it "counterfight".
The word of counter-fighting sounds like a great compliment, saying that the warriors around Gongziwu are like Zhao Guo's counter-fighting, and they are brave and unparalleled in hand-to-hand combat.
The speaker has a heart, and the listener has an intention.
Tian Qing was already suspicious, these two people were the most unlikely to assassinate him, in other words, if he wanted to assassinate, there was a chance, why did he have to go to this day?
Besides, I had a secret discussion with Gongzi Wu a few times before, and these two people were also guarding outside, if they did the assassination at that time, no one could stop them, why bother today?
The smile of the dead soldier before he died just now also made Tian Qing feel uneasy.
At this time, when he heard the dead soldiers on his side praise the people around Gongziwu with "the courage of the fight", he suddenly came to his senses, and the few agile slaves in the big tent just now also reminded Tian Qingdeng.
Counterfight is compliment.
But how did the backfight come about?
It was when Zhao Xiangzi killed the acting king, the warriors and warriors around him pretended to be slaves, and when the wine was hot, they hammered the acting king to death with a wine fight, so that they used "anti-fighting" as the title of the guard.
If it was a weekday, Tian Qing would not have taken it with such a compliment.
But today, this compliment is like a reappearance of the scene, Tian Qing swept over, and saw that the previous slaves who poured wine were all standing beside Gongziwu at this time, where was there any suspicion.
He had already understood that Tian Wu was motivated by murderous intentions, and he was afraid that his dead man would see the problem, so he used such a plan to remind himself.
Otherwise, if not, those dead soldiers must be worried about the relationship between themselves and Tian Wu, and it will not be good if Tian Wu succeeds to the throne at that time.
There was a precedent for a monarch like Qi State, and the first thing he did after the Duke succeeded to the throne was to dig up the ancestral grave of the doctor who had conflicts with him when he was a son.
Tian Qing's ancestral grave Tian Wu will definitely not dig it, but if there is distrust, it is indeed difficult to say when Tian Wu becomes the king.
He thought a lot in a flash, how could he not understand the current situation?
I thought in my heart, I'm afraid that Tian Wu came prepared for today's events.
Looking around, there are only seven or eight dead people around him, and Tian Wu doesn't know how many people are around, if he really turns his face, he will definitely be unlucky.
"If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
Tian Qing also knew that he had no good fruit to eat if he killed Tian Wu, because he couldn't kill all the people who saw these things, and when the time came, he said that it was the Mo family's hand, and as long as someone was alive, he couldn't hide it.
In the end, he killed his son with his ministers, and the soldiers he brought were Linzi people, so there was no possibility of winning in the chaos.
But the matter has come to this point, and I can't think too much about it, either you die or I live, Tian Qing's murderous heart suddenly rose.
He quietly made a gesture at the dead man, which meant that he understood, and then immediately laughed and said, "If it weren't for the ...... by Childe's side today"
While smiling as if to praise, he approached Tian Wu within three or five steps, Tian Wu was still in a state of dazed panic at this time, and he didn't know what to do, and he didn't understand what was going on just now, and he didn't know what to do at this time to be in his own best interest.
As for the praise in Tian Qing's dead man's words, he only thought it was sincere, and he didn't think much about it in a panic.
Tian Qing was already close in laughter, and said in his heart: "Today's matter, if I fight with him directly, there will be insufficient manpower around me, and I will be killed by him." ”
"He is young, and he must be alarmed at this time. He can do a good job of planning the conspiracy in advance, but the approaching contingency is far inferior to mine. ”
"Now the plan, only by catching him first, can there be a glimmer of life. If I can't be captured alive, I can only kill him, and I will die, but he will not live!" ”
The experience honed and accumulated by years of aristocratic conspiracies and Tian's many palace coups in the past 20 years has made Tian Qing a truly qualified nobleman, a nobleman who does not panic and conspires and coups not only depends on advance predictions.
Judging the situation in an instant, he approached Tian Wu under the cover of laughter and the expression of pretending not to know about Tian Wu's conspiracy at all.
