Chapter 109: Luck (2nd Update)
Wei Ba believed Jin Dongliu's words, not out of trust, but because he had such doubts in the first place.
The method of killing Zhuge Qiao was to slam the xiphoid bone in his chest with a heavy fist, and then cut his throat with a short knife, which was his most commonly used martial art. The fist method is a spear method, which pays attention to the straight entry of the center and slams the sword protrusion, which can cause the opponent's heartbeat to be disordered or even suspended, and the heavier ones are directly fatal. This is what later generations called the black tiger to dig out the heart, which is a very common trick, but common does not mean that the power is small, on the contrary, it is precisely because of his simplicity and practicality that it will be adopted by all sects.
Killing Zhuge Qiao in this way, needless to say, this is to frame him. But if you want to get close to Zhuge Qiao, who was already a little abnormal at that time, and even let Zhuge Qiao not even have a chance to fight back, then the other party is at least somewhat similar to himself, especially in terms of body shape - it was dark at that time, and his face was somewhat different, Zhuge Qiao might not be able to notice it, and the first thing he saw should be his clothing and body shape.
Since Peng Xiaoyu can take away his jade, of course, he may also take his clothes, he must wear his clothes properly, and hide them from the eyes of Zhuge Qiao and his entourage, his body size should be very close to him.
It's not easy to get very close to him. Because Wei Ba inherited the burly figure of his father Wei Yan, it is not easy to find someone similar to him. Such a person standing in the crowd is the kind that is easy to be spotted, and it stands to reason that he is unlikely to be able to do such a job that requires concealment of identity and does not attract attention.
So Wei Ba didn't think much about it until he saw this fine work, until he saw him make a move, and Zuihou heard him say his identity, and then he knew that Sima Yi actually solved this problem in the fine work world.
Division of labor and cooperation, smart!
Wei Ba was determined to kill this person, not only because he pretended to kill Zhuge Qiao, but he was worried that this person would eat the marrow. Will impersonate him to do more things in the future. With this person's clever skills, coupled with a similar appearance to himself, it is not impossible to kill his father. So anyway. This bane must be removed.
After getting the information he wanted, Wei Ba stabbed the little boss to death with a clean knife. Then regardless of Jin Dongliu's side, he began to undress and changed into the clothes of that strong man. and cut his face open.
"He's dead, you don't have to do anything to him again, do you?" Jin Dongliu forcibly endured the desire to vomit in his heart and said to Wei Ba.
"I'm not doing anything to him." Wei Ba operated on the side. He said. In fact, his desire to vomit now is stronger than Jin Dongliu's, but in order to complete the task, he can only endure it. I don't know if it's because of the two lives, he found that his restraint ability was very strong, so strong that he himself was a little surprised. At the same time, he also found that he seemed to be a little bloodthirsty, and not only did not refuse to do these cruel things, but had an almost perverted pleasure. "I can't be recognized. That would only make him harder to recognize. ”
"You want him to die for you?"
"Well, if I don't die, Prime Minister Zhuge won't let my Wei family go, I don't know where Zuihou will develop." Wei Ba finished the operation and took a step back. After checking the details again, he continued: "If I die, this matter will be settled, everyone is a smart person, and since there is no means of nirvana, there will be no more care." If you have any questions, you will have to wait until next time. ”
"Then you don't bring him to Zhuge Liang and tell him that you are wronged, so as not to be a fugitive who will not see the light of day."
Wei Ba turned his head to look at Jin Dongliu, and suddenly sneered: "Zhaoming, do you think Zhuge Liang can believe me?" ”
Jin Dongliu's eyes flashed, and he lowered his eyelids: "Then you will never come back in the future?" ”
Wei Ba's expression darkened, and he was silent for a long time. "I'm a concubine, as long as I have an eldest brother to inherit my father's family business, it doesn't matter if I live or die. Having the opportunity to break into the world by yourself is not a haode choice. In case ......" he stopped talking and turned his head.
The corners of Jin Dongliu's mouth crooked, and he smiled: "Then follow me to see the hussar general, with your talent, he will definitely appreciate you." Take a step back and say, you have saved my life, and I can help you too. ”
"Sima Yi?" Wei Ba was disdainful: "He is just a scholar, or my subordinate is a defeated general, how can I vote for him." Since you are looking for a backer, of course you must find a powerful backer. ”
"Who? Xiahou Mao of Chang'an? ”
"Neither can that man." Wei Ba avoided Jin Dongliu's temptation without a trace. In Jin Dongliu's seemingly idle words, it is difficult to say whether there is a sense of testing his mind. All in all, not only could he not show his interest in Chang'an, but he also couldn't let Jin Dongliu feel that there was a problem. "I want to go to Luoyang, which is far away from Hanzhong and has more opportunities."
Jin Dongliu didn't say anything. Although it was impossible for him to fully trust Wei Ba, Wei Ba's thoughts were very natural, and there were no obvious doubts.
Wei Ba dealt with the scene and rested for a while, and then walked east with Jin Dongliu. After getting rid of those two fine works, he is much easier now, at least his life safety has been guaranteed temporarily, and without those two fine works, Jin Dongliu can only rely on him to get out of danger, and invisibly, he has the initiative.
After walking forward for another two days, on the mountain road north of Chenggu City, Wei Ba dragged the exhausted Jin Dongliu and hurried hard. After three days of long travel, even Wei Ba felt tired, not to mention Jin Dongliu, who had always been very weak.
"I can't walk." Jin Dongliu held on to a tree, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and bursts of sweat poured out of his forehead, soaking his tattered winter coat. I sweat too much these days, and there is even a layer of white salt frost in my winter coat, just like Jin Dongliu's gray face.
"Hold on a little longer." Wei Ba stopped, licked his chapped lips, and gasped heavily. He was also very tired, and he wanted to find a place to lie down and never get up again. However, compared to Jin Dongliu, who was about to collapse, he could still hold on. He pointed to a valley ahead. "To the front, we can take a break. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a helper. ”
"Helper?" Jin Dongliu was obviously a little unresponsive: "What other helpers?" ”
"I said, it depends on luck." Wei Ba said breathlessly.
"What luck?"
"You'll know when you arrive." Wei Ba shook his head weakly: "I'm not sure now." ”
Jin Dongliu turned around in a daze, tired and muscular, which had seriously reduced his reason. He could only follow Wei Ba forward. After walking for more than ten miles, Wei Ba came to the water's edge, he let Jin Dongliu hide aside, and tiptoed to a small canopy boat hidden in the shade of the trees by the river.
He walked very carefully, and it took him half an hour to dive to the side of the boat, sheltered by the weeds half a man high. As he crouched in the grass, he caught a glimpse of Atsutake, dressed as a boatman, and Ma Tan hiding behind him in the cabin.
Wei Ba raised three fingers, flipped his palm over twice, and pointed to the place where Jin Dongliu was hiding behind him, indicating that Jin Dongliu was thirty steps behind him. Hu Ji hid in the darkness of the cabin, nodded, and lowered his voice to ensure that only they could hear.
"We've seen the two pieces you made when you stayed in the cave." Ma Tan said softly: "The prime minister is very satisfied with your disposition, and has announced that you are dead and the murder case has been cancelled." Except for the prime minister and your father, only the three of us here know about this matter. ”
Wei Ba nodded, but his mood was gloomy. Although this is for the sake of secrecy, he believes that if he doesn't know that he is still alive in the world, the eldest brother Wei Feng and the younger brother Wei Wu, as well as the mother Deng family, the little girl Lan'er and others will definitely be very sad. He sniffed, sobered up from his sentimentality, and told Hu Ji that Sima Yi had arranged two small groups in Hanzhong, the person in charge was codenamed Heiyu, and it was likely that it was related to the Peng family. He didn't dare to stay in the cave with these news, Jin Dongliu was sitting next to him, and he didn't dare to show any clues.
Ma Jian listened carefully, but shook his head regretfully: "Although we didn't do anything to Li Miao, we have strengthened our surveillance and haven't seen anything abnormal. If we guessed correctly, we had already cut off contact with Li Miao before they made their move. ”
"This shaft is cautious enough." Wei Ba scolded helplessly.
After waiting for some more things, Ma Jian quietly dived from the back of the boat into the water. Only then did Dun Wu come out of the cabin, pretending to be connected with Wei Ba. Wei Ba rushed back and asked Dunwu to take Jin Dongliu out of his hiding place and put him on the boat.
Jin Dongliu could see clearly in the hideout and knew that the young man in front of him was the luck that Wei Ba said. He said gratefully: "Thank you for the grace of the strong man for saving his life, I don't know what to call the strong man?" ”
Silent as he walked out of the cabin, he rocked the oar, and the boat went down the river.
"He's my personal guard." Wei Ba opened the cabin to prepare the haode baggage, took out some food, and handed it to the hungry Jin Dongliu, while explaining: "When I helped you deliver the letter, I didn't put all my hope on you. ”
Jin Dongliu devoured it and ate so violently that he almost choked. Wei Ba picked up a pot of water, poured two sips on him, shook a few copies of the road pass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Look, this is the road pass that my father prepared for me." From now on, we can swagger away. ”
Jin Dongliu was stunned for a moment: "Your father knows that you are not dead?" ”
"I don't know yet, I don't know if he can recognize the body as a fake." Wei Ba sighed: "However, since my personal guard didn't go back, he should be able to guess a little." Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, if you want to say that the person who knows me, who else can there be besides him? ”
Only then did Jin Dongliu understand that Wei Ba's so-called luck fell on the relationship between father and son. Wei Yan did not abandon his murderous son in the end, and prepared for his escape, this is Wei Ba's luck, and it is also his luck. He nodded, rolled over and lay down on a small bed in the cabin, and closed his eyes.
In the distance, Ma Jian quietly climbed ashore, shook the water on his body, looked at the boat in the distance, and let out a long breath.
