"We are well versed in the warmth and coldness of the world, and we can talk about right and wrong as long as we make friends." [Qiansou]
The oil lamp placed in front of the coffin was slowly swaying, and light rain was falling outside. The inside and outside of the mourning hall were extremely cold. After Liu Hao finished speaking, the hall was extremely silent. No one dared to be the first to speak, and everyone's heart felt
It's like falling into an ice cave, I don't know how this situation will end.
Wu Ban snorted coldly, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Now the imperial army is outside Baishui Pass. If you act so rebelliously, aren't you afraid of your own death?"
His confidence at this time came entirely from the hundreds of soldiers outside the mansion. These were the elite troops who followed Wu Yi into Shu. Currently, there are only a few dozen Bajun people in the hall. When the war breaks out, what will happen?
I don’t know who will win or lose.
Wu Banzheng was feeling proud, but he never thought that since Liu Hao dared to attack at this time, he must have a way to get Sun Zhao to lead his troops into the city. Before the smile on his face dissipated, he heard a sudden sound coming from outside the palace wall.
A loud shout of killing came from the streets, getting closer and closer. Soon after a chaotic clash of swords, a group of elite Qingqiang soldiers rushed in and surrounded the mansion.
As Liu Yan's capable general, Captain Sun Zhao, who was in charge of the brave Qingqiang soldiers, walked in fully armed. He first bowed to Liu Yan's coffin, then bowed to Liu Hao and said respectfully:
"Colonel Sun Zhao, I have met the envoy!"
"Kill them all?" Liu Hao sneered. In the past, those scholars who looked down on his "arrogant" deeds were now as pale as ashes and as silent as cicadas. They didn't even dare to look at him. He had never felt like this before.
So enjoyable.
Sun Zhao's gloomy face forced out a smile and said: "I don't know who secretly instigated the plan to surround the Prefectural Mufu with troops and conspire to cause chaos. Those hundred or ten elite men were all captured by their subordinates and are waiting to be punished!"
"I already know who the person in charge is." Liu Mao said leisurely, turned to look at Lai Min, and pointed out: "Since they entered Shu, they have suffered many disasters. My late father's illness may have been cured by this."
Du. My late father had long known that he had different intentions, but for the sake of his close relatives, he only allowed him to leave the house and live separately. Who knew that he kept spreading nonsense and making people panic, but he dared to plot against me today! It is a waste of my family's treatment.
It's so profound, who would have thought that they would still have such a treacherous plot, and today I have to stand before my late father's spirit to question him!"
Sun Zhao didn't say much, and waved his hands to the left and right: "Take it!"
Wu Ban drew his sword and shouted: "We have the king's mandate to recruit Yizhou people to see who dares to come forward and plot rebellion!"
His words could frighten ordinary people, but they could not frighten Sun Zhao's group of Qiang and Di people who did not know the king's teachings. I saw a Qiang man waving his sword and charging towards him ferociously. Wu Ban saw the situation and turned aside.
He could hide and slash with his sword. He was once a ranger who had been around Chenliu for a long time. His stature and sword skills were far better than those of ordinary soldiers. What's more, in a place like the mourning hall where the terrain was not open, it was more conducive to his performance.
The Qiang man was unprepared for a moment, and his right arm was slashed. He screamed strangely, and just as he was about to cover the wound with his left hand, he saw Wu Yi in front of him slashing with a sword light. There was blood on the Qiang man's neck.
It was like spring water gushing out, frightening all the scholars present. Everyone started shouting in a panic, some collapsed on the ground, and some tried to run out, but were driven back by Qing Qiang who was guarding the door.
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Sun Zhao saw that his men could not capture the enemy for a while, and shouted repeatedly. The two brothers Wu Ban and Wu Yi cooperated with each other. After killing several Qiang Di, they reluctantly managed to keep Lai Minhu in the corner. They
It was discovered that although these Qing Qiang were brave and powerful, they did not even know the simplest military formations. They only knew how to rush forward with their blood. At this time, most of the Qiang and Di in the hall gathered in the corner, and there was no one around Liu Hao and others.
There was only a skinny Sun Zhao standing beside him.
Wu Ban discovered this flaw. He glanced at Wu Yi and handed Wu Yi over to guard Wu Yi. Then he wielded his sword alone and tried to break out. As long as he killed or kidnapped Liu Mao, there was still something to be done.
!
Sun Zhao was old in the army, so he didn't know what the other party was thinking. Not only did he calmly dispatch his men to intercept and kill him, he even accepted Liu Hao's orders and sent people to the mansion where Lai Min and others lived, hoping to kill Lu Chang's son.
Lu Yi and others were also captured.
A melee in the Prefectural Mufu did not seem to affect the gentle rain. After leaving the Prefectural Mufu, the city was still quiet and peaceful. The previous shouts of Sun Zhao leading troops to attack seemed to be just for a moment. Lai Min's
At this time, the mansion was also hung with white flags and other objects, and Lu Chang's coffin was parked in the hall. Today, all the prominent people in the city went to the Prefectural Mufu to pay their respects to Liu Yan, so the place was deserted.
Lu Yi was wearing a thin linen suit and a crown, and he knelt in front of the soul with an expressionless face, his thin body shivering in the cold air. His face was pale, and his usually dull expression became more and more indifferent at this time. At the beginning, those scholars kept praising him.
How "righteous" his father was, but on the day of his memorial service, no one came to express condolences.
Scholars all over the world are the same. They not only like to seek fame, but also like to pursue profit. The slight fame gained from paying tribute and sympathizing with the dead loyal servants is nothing compared to the half-filled cup in the governor's mansion that is about to change the situation in Yizhou.
soup?
Lu Yi followed his father Lu Chang around after urinating. He had already seen the faces of those scholars. On the surface, he was Liu Yan's confidant. How much did he respect him, but secretly, did he ever take them seriously? He
The greatest wish of his father, Lu Chang, was to shine brightly, to get rid of his humble family background, and to join the ranks of scholars by chance by working for Liu Yan. However, despite all his efforts, no one cared about him. Lu Yi had already seen through it.
But his father never understood it until his death. He looked at Lu Chang's coffin, and the words Lu Chang said to him before he died seemed to ring in his ears.
"I have an old illness that has long been unavailable. Instead of suffering from the pain and dying, I would rather commit suicide and follow Mr. Liu. Firstly, I can keep the secret, and secondly, I can gain half of my reputation."
'Today, all the high-ranking families in the world started their careers with a 'name'. I have nothing to leave you, so I'll give you a 'name' for starting your business.'
'Ji Yang, you must revitalize my family.'
"Aweng!"
Lu Yi suddenly stood up and shouted, he looked around blankly, how could he see any figure? The cold wind poured into the mourning hall, immediately blowing out all the oil lamps, the white flags danced with the wind, and the dust and sparks in the brazier were blown everywhere
, Lu Yi's eyes were fascinated by soot, and tears temporarily blurred his vision.
The door suddenly creaked open and someone pushed it open. Lu Yi looked back and saw Fei Yi slowly approaching from the light rain holding a bamboo hat. Behind him was a young man more than seven feet tall, wearing capsicum.
There was a simple sword hanging on his waist. The sword was unadorned, not like a sword worn by scholars for decoration, but like a real murder weapon, just like the young man gave Lu Yi the first sword.
The impression is the same.
This young man has an unattractive appearance and restrained sharpness, but there is a glint in his eyes, like a sharp sword hidden in a box.
Lu Yi was so focused on this strange swordsman that he forgot to go downstairs to greet Fei Yi.
Fei Yi was not surprised. He stepped forward, took Lu Yi's hand, and said hurriedly: "Follow me quickly. Liu Hao and Sun Zhao started a rebellion and surrounded the Prefecture Mufu with the intention of capturing Lai Jun. There is no way to arrest Lai Jun here."
An Ning, please follow me and take shelter for a while!"
