Chapter 458: Shi Kuo Destroys the Luan Clan (5)
The Sheep-tongued Tiger had just finished assigning an attack to his comrades, but they were attacked first.
With a sharp voice, the martingale shouted and ordered the people in the house to disarm and surrender.
Frightened and angry, he drew his sword and shouted: "Fan's family has no way, and he kills the loyal and righteous; Let's kill Fan Martingale first, and then go and ask for the old thief's dog's life! ”
You must know that the people present are all warriors who are skilled in fighting and do not spin until death; One raised his arms, and all chanted; Warriors poured out of the door, leaped out of the window, roared and rushed at the enemy.
Shi Ying was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back, while the clan armor around him responded to the other party's roar and strode forward, and the two sides immediately fought sword to sword.
The Luan clan party adopted a ferocious fighting method of fighting with their lives, and due to the small space, the numerical advantage of the Fan clan could not be brought into play for a while, and the clan armor couldn't help but hurry up and retreat again and again.
The warrior then moved the armor behind him to the side, and ordered the archers to climb the courtyard wall and condescendingly fire arrows at the enemy. The tiger also calmed down, he recognized the situation and knew that he could not defeat his opponent, so he shouted: "The people behind immediately retreat!" Lord Luan still has big things to do, and he still needs your help, you can't die here in vain! ”
Zhou Xuan responded: "Uncle Hu! I swear to God that I will avenge you! After saying that, he took the lead and ran to the back door. Zhiqi, Zhongxingxi, Xing Kuai and others followed him closely. The warriors were in a hurry, and sent more troops to the back door, but the pursuers were still a step late, and many fled; The Tiger and his companions did everything they could to hold back the attackers, and in the end they all died honorably.
Shu Xiang's other brother, Sheeptongue Carp, did not join the conspiracy, but fled for fear of unjustified disaster. He fled to the state of Lu and threw himself under Ji Wuzi; It wasn't until Shu Xiang was later acquitted that he returned to the Jin Kingdom again.
Soon after the battle ended, the armor soldiers dragged the corpses together, identified each of the dead, and recorded their names. Shi Yan looked at the bloodied corpse of the dead and asked, "Are there any captives?" He shook his head left and right and replied, "No." ”
He felt a violent cramp in his stomach, and he couldn't help but bend down and vomit, and even vomited bile. He straightened up, wiped away his tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "Where did Luan Ying recruit so many outlaws?" ”
He ordered his men to continue cleaning up the scene, and he hurried home to give his father a list of those who had been killed and those who had escaped. Shi Kuo was shocked to see it, and even shouted "Wan Xing", and pointed to the list and said: "In less than ten years, if these people have not died, there will be a hundred warriors standing behind each of them." Those who escape are hidden dangers, and they must be killed in a way. ”
Among the imprisoned suspects, the highest status and most innocent is Shu Xiang. When he heard the sad news of his brother's death, he couldn't help but cry and scold him for being stupid and reckless. He had repeatedly persuaded Shuhu not to get involved with the Luan family, but he just didn't listen.
Bohua was sitting on the side, and he saw that Uncle Xiang was almost crying, so he said: "Master, don't patronize and regret Uncle Hu, let's worry about your own life and death!" ”
Shu Xiang stopped his sad voice and replied: "My life and death are not mine, what's the use of worrying?" ”
At this moment, Le Wang Kui came in to visit his uncle. The new favorite of the office was the dance teacher of Jin Pinggong, who was responsible for teaching the monarch artistically about the fall. He was born into a family of declining scholars and was introduced to the court by a slave favored by the Duke of Ping. He has always been unpopular with the ministers and doctors, so he has to look for opportunities to curry favor with the ministers in exchange for the ministers not to show too much scorn to him when they meet, but the results are often counterproductive.
Le Wang sat down opposite Uncle Xiang, but saw that the other party did not react, as if he did not exist at all. He said, "I can ask the prince for forgiveness for you." Uncle Xiang didn't answer as if he hadn't heard.
Le Wang Kui touched a soft nail, embarrassed, he laughed twice, then stood up and quit stupidly, and Uncle Xiang did not send off guests.
Bohua teased: "Master's life is really good, offended such a dead sissy!" I don't have a chance, I'm going to die of envy! ”
Uncle Xiang said: "The only one who can save me in the Jin Kingdom is Doctor Qi." ”
Shu Xiang's room elder happened to come in to deliver food, and he heard that Shu Xiang had rejected Le Wang Kui's kindness, and complained to the master: "The prince obeys Le Wang Kui's words, and his request is not unfulfilled." Now he pleads for his master, and you do not allow it; That's what Dr. Qi can't do, besides, Dr. Qi has been retired for a long time, but you say that he is the only one, why is this? ”
Shu Xiang said: "Le Wang Kui is just a slave favored by the prince, what is his ability?" Doctor Qi does not avoid revenge externally, and does not lose relatives internally (in Lu Xianggong for three years), he will not abandon me alone. The poem says: 'If there is enlightenment and virtue, the four kingdoms will obey it.' 'Dr. Qi is an enlightened person, and he will definitely come back to save me. ”
After King Le returned to the palace, Jin Pinggong asked him if Shu Xiang was guilty of treason. Le Wang Kui said solemnly (as if he were really a serious person): "The minister just went to see him, he had just wept and mourned his brother at that time, and he did not reflect on drawing a line with his brother but mourned him, and he must have been his accomplice." Moreover, when he saw that his ministers did not defend themselves, and did not beg the prince for forgiveness, he must have been guilty. ”
At the same time, Qi Xi got the news and hurried from Fengyi to Fan's mansion. Qi Xi entered the government in the early days of the reign of Jin Jinggong (at that time, Shi Kuo was still a little kid running around the ground), and served as a lieutenant in the middle army when he mourned the Duke of Jin, and the official residence was a doctor, and he just returned to his hometown not long ago. Qi Xi was a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and his son Qi Ju served as a lieutenant under Shi Lu. Hearing that Qi Guolao was visiting, Shi Kuo jumped up, trotted barefoot, and ran to the door to greet the guests.
Qi Xi got straight to the point and said, "I'm here for Uncle Xiang's business." "Poetry" says: 'Benefit me without borders, and my descendants will protect it.' The Book of Shang says: "The Holy Emperor has a plan, and the Ming Zheng is guaranteed." 'Uncle Xiang is rarely at fault in planning major events for the country, and there is no ** in governing the family. He is loyal to the office, diligent in duty, and is a pillar of the country. Such a virtuous minister should keep him safe from disaster for ten lifetimes, so as to be an example to his ministers; Now that he is in prison for a trumped-up crime, isn't he self-destructing society? Master, it's too late for him to regret it!
"Kun was killed and Dayu rose; Yi Yin exiled Taijia, Taijia reformed and returned to the throne, Yi Yin continued to be the prime minister, and Taijia never complained. Guan and Cai became prisoners, while Duke Zhou became an auxiliary minister. Why did the master destroy the important ministers of the society for the sake of a sheep-tongued tiger? When the Master does good deeds, who dares not to be faithful to his duties? What's the point of killing more? ”
Shi Kuo said: "The lesson of the old man is that without you, I almost made a big mistake. He immediately took the same car with Qi Xi to see Jin Pinggong.
