Chapter 556: Who Sent the Assassin?
Holding the long sword, Wang Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, and from the narrowed eyeliner, a cold light flashed.
Her eyes stared at the swordsman holding the long sword in her hand, blocking the way of Deng Zhan and the others, and shivered at the swordsman who was also staring at her.
The most taboo thing in the swordsman competition is that they have not yet fought and have already lost their momentum.
The swordsman with the long sword is also a character who is accustomed to fighting and crawling out of the pile of dead people. He knew that if Wang Liu's momentum was suppressed, Mo said that it would be difficult to stop Jia Xu, even if he wanted to retreat.
"Kill!" Holding the long sword, he let out a loud shout, and the swordsman rushed towards Wang Liu quickly.
When the swordsman rushed forward with the long sword, Wang Liu held the hilt of the sword with both hands and raised the long sword straight.
"Kill!" The two figures staggered, and with Wang Liu's burst, two arcs of light flashed between the two.
The arc of light flashed, and the swordsman and Wang Liu holding the long sword both maintained a sword-wielding posture, standing with their backs to each other, and no one moved much.
On the long and narrow street, dozens of Luoyang Army and Huainan Army escorting Jia Xu stood on horseback, but not even a single horse made the slightest sound, and the scene was suffocating for a while.
"So fast...... Sword! Holding a sword much longer than an ordinary long sword in one hand, the tip of the sword was against the ground, and it was silent for about five or six breaths, and the swordsman finally burst out of his lips and fell to the ground.
When the swordsman fell, Wang Liu reached out and took out a snow-white linen cloth from his arms, wiped the blood stains on the sword with the linen, inserted the long sword into the sheath, and then turned around, hugged his fists and said to Jia Xu: "Zhonglang is frightened!" ”
"The order of a certain king of Luoyang, I came to look for the girl, but I didn't want to meet here, and I hope that the girl will return to the next place with a certain one!" Riding on horseback, Jia Xu gave Wang Liu a salute in return, and said to Wang Liu: "Wang Xu dared to carry Yuan Gong on his back and secretly attack a certain person, and tomorrow morning, the girl will go with a certain person to visit Yuan Gong!" ”
"Obey Zhonglang's orders!" Holding his fists and bowing, he saluted Jia Xu again, Wang Liu glanced at Huang Sheng, who was blocking Jia Xu with his sword, and Huang Sheng jumped on the war horses brought by the two Huainan soldiers for them, followed Jia Xu, and walked forward along the street.
Jia Xu had just left with the team, and two men jumped out of the alley on the side of the street.
One of the men turned over the swordsman who was holding a big sword and confronted Wang Liu, poked his nose, felt that the swordsman was still alive, nodded to the other man on the side, and the two carried the swordsman into the alley, and soon disappeared into the alley.
However, after a cup of tea, in the side hall of the back garden of Yuan Shufu.
Yuan Shu furrowed his brows tightly, his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the hall.
From the look on his face, it could be seen that his mood was extremely irritable at the moment.
In the hall, in addition to Yuan Shu, there was also a person standing. This person is dressed as a scribe, and it is Yuan Shu, who Yuan Shu has never trusted very much.
"That Wang Xun, I thought he was a talent, but I didn't want to do such a thing!" After a long while, Yuan Shu stopped, raised his hand, and scolded Wang Xun angrily: "It's just a pig!" No! He's three points dumber than a pig! ”
Hearing Yuan Shu scolding Wang Shu angrily, Yuan Jian hugged his fists, bowed to Yuan Shu and said: "Earlier, Ming Gong intended to be unfavorable to the King of Luoyang, and his subordinates persuaded him several times, and now it is the best opportunity for Ming Duke and King Luoyang to rebuild in Haolu, why don't Ming Gong ......?" ”
"You mean ......?" Before Yuan Shu's words were finished, Yuan Shu furrowed his brows, stared at his face without blinking, and asked him, "Capture that Wang Zhen and hand it over to the King of Luoyang for disposal?" ”
"Ming Gong Mingjian!" Yuan Shu's words fell, Yuan Jian maintained the posture of holding his fists, bowed his body much deeper again, and said to him: "Capture a Wang Chen, but you can reconcile with the King of Luoyang, even if the Ming Duke can't dominate the world in the future, this Huainan place will also be long-term stability!" ”
"Someone!" After listening to Yuan Shu's words, Yuan Shu did not immediately express his position, but shouted to the door.
One of the guards guarding the door, hearing Yuan Shu's shout, stepped into the house, clenched his fists and stood facing Yuan Shu, waiting for Yuan Shu's orders.
"Go and call Wang Xun immediately, ask him something!" Yuan Shu first glanced at the guard, then waved his hand at him and gave him a command.
"Ming Gong!" From Yuan Shu's actions, Yuan Jian saw that he didn't want to attack Wang Shu, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "If it's Ming Gong......"
"No need to say any more!" Yuan Shu was about to persuade Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu raised an arm to stop him from talking, and said to him, "You stand down!" ”
Yuan Shu gave the order to evict the guest, Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, although he didn't say anything, the look on his face showed a touch of helplessness.
Yuan Jian left Yuan Shu's mansion, and after a while, Wang Xun, who was wearing the armor of the Huainan army general, was ordered to come to Yuan Shu's mansion.
When he received Yuan Shu's summons, Wang Xun was worried for a while.
Someone in the market intercepted Jia Xu, and the news had already reached his ears. But Wang Xun thought about it, and he didn't understand when he ordered people to attack Jia Xu.
knew that Yuan Shu asked him to go, it must be because of Jia Xu's assassination, and along the way, Wang Shu was thinking about how to get rid of this relationship in front of Yuan Shu.
Hand over the saber and enter the side hall, Wang Xun hugged his fists and bowed, saluted Yuan Shu, and said with a very respectful expression: "I heard that Ming Gong summoned the last general!" ”
"Wang Chen, your courage is not small!" It was not at all surprising to Wang Shu, as soon as Yuan Shu opened his mouth, he said such a sentence in a strange way.
"The last general will serve Ming Gong, and he is always thinking about how to repay Ming Gong's kindness!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, there were fine beads of sweat oozing from Wang Xun's forehead, and there was a little apprehension in his tone, and he said to Yuan Shu: "I don't know why Ming Gong said this? ”
"Then Jia Xu, but you sent someone to assassinate you?" Kneeling at the top of the room, Yuan Shu tightly wrinkled his brows, raised his eyes to stare at Wang Xun, and said to him in a cold tone: "Do you know that the assassination of Jia Xu is small, if it annoys the king of Luoyang, I, Huainan, will raise a sword soldier!" ”
"The Huainan soldiers are full of food, why not be afraid of the king of Luoyang!" Knowing that Yuan Shu was not afraid of war, and even had some hope in his heart to be the emperor earlier, Wang Shu maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, first took Yuan Shu's words, and then said to Yuan Shu: "It's just that Jia Xu was assassinated in the market, and he has nothing to do with the last general......
"So, not the assassins you sent?" Knowing that Wang Xun would not lie to him, when Wang Xun categorically refused to send an assassin, Yuan Shu's brows tightened, and his eyes staring at Wang Xun narrowed even smaller, as if he was talking to himself, as if he was asking Wang Xun and said, "Who is it that would frame you?" ”
"I heard that the assassin was killed by Wang Liu's sword!" Putting down the fists he had picked up, and looking up at Yuan Shu, Wang Xun also said with a little entanglement in his expression: "Just on the road, the last general has already ordered someone to investigate, trying to find the body." Once the body is found, it will be clear whether it is the last person to be sent! ”
"Hmm!" After listening to Wang Xun's words, Yuan Shu's brows were always tightly wrinkled, he pondered for a moment before nodding his head and said to Wang Xun: "If something is not bad as expected, tomorrow morning, Jia Xu will come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and you only have one night to find the body." ”
"The last general will do his best!" Knowing that if someone deliberately framed him, the body would have been dragged away, Wang Xun didn't have much hope for whether he could find it, he only hoped to find some clues from the scene, and try to find out who planted him.
Knowing that Wang Xun would not be full of words, Yuan Shu did not force him, but just waved his hand at him and said to him: "You go, don't let a certain Tai lose face!" ”
"Thank you Ming Gong! The end will be retired! Picking up his fists and thanking Yuan Shu, Wang Xun said goodbye and retreated, first taking two steps backwards, and then turning around and leaving the side hall.
In order to get rid of the involvement, Wang Wei was busy investigating who sent the assassins, while in the fields outside Luoyang City, Liu Wei crossed his hands on his hips and straightened his body, staring at a green seedling with a thin orange light on the leaves under the sunset.
In the field, groups of men who have been allocated medicinal juice are holding clay pots, and as they walk along the field, they spray the medicinal juice on the green seedlings.
A puff of ink-colored medicinal juice was sprayed on the green seedlings, and an indescribable feeling arose in the hearts of the men.
Growing up in the countryside and farming for a living, as long as they were attacked by insects in the past, they could only watch the seedlings or grain being trampled by insects.
But now, the insect infestation is serious, but they are following the instructions of the king of Luoyang, spraying the fields with enough medicine to stop the insect infestation.
For the villagers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, this ink-like medicinal juice is the life-saving medicine for their whole family. Since the promotion of the medicinal juice and the effective killing of pests, the villagers' reverence for Liu Wei has reached a new height.
Standing on the ridge, looking at the backs of the men spraying the medicinal juice in the distance, a smile that was rare to show recently appeared on Liu Wei's face.
The glow of the setting sun shone on his face, making him look red, a little more radiant than usual.
Behind Liu Wei, stood Guan Qing in military uniform.
Like Liu Wei, looking at the green seedlings in the field that were gnawed by insects but were rejuvenated, Guan Qing's face was also full of joy.
"Your Highness's method really works!" Looking at the green seedlings that were plated with a thin layer of orange light by the setting sun, Guan Qing smiled and said to Liu Wei who was standing in front of him: "If it weren't for Your Highness, I'm afraid the people will have to suffer for another year this year!" ”
"It's also useless for this king!" What Guan Qing didn't expect was that Liu Wei was not complacent because he saved the green seedlings, he turned his head and glanced at Guan Qing, and said very indifferently: "Luoyang is a place, the treasury is empty, if the harvest is not good, I am afraid that the grain and grass for disaster relief will not be available." If the king does not spend more effort in the field, and when the people and soldiers are really left without food, what should the king say to them? ”
