He just discovered that there was something wrong with Liu Yu's gait. A normal person's steps would be to advance alternately with both legs, and Liu Yu was the same, but once or twice, Liu Yu's right leg was trailing behind, as if he was being injured.
After the injury, he did not move well, leaving sequelae, but it is not always the case, and he will soon return to a normal gait. If you don't pay attention, you will think that he is not keeping his feet together, or is nervous, so he has some
It's chaotic, but I wouldn't have thought that it was a secret method in a Taoist sect like Yu Bu.
"are you sure?"
"Not sure." Dunwu shook his head: "This kind of footwork originally evolved from the steps of disabled people. It is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. Only people in the Taoist sect and those who have practiced Yubu can recognize it.
Whether it’s true or not. Maybe Zhenying can tell if she’s here.”
Wei Ba sighed, Han Zhenying was by Guan Feng's side now, how could he come here in time? But it didn't matter, if you weren't sure, just treat him as real and be careful. A master would kill, and two
A master still kills, not to mention that Liu Min is not just surrounded by one or two masters. Even if those dead soldiers who came from Xiliang are not as powerful as that master, they are probably not much different.
"Add another hundred soldiers to the mansion." Wei Ba twirled his fingers: "Let Heisha come and celebrate the grand event together."
"Here."
…
Deputy envoy Liu Yu left quickly and came back even faster, which surprised Liu Min.
Everything is normal. The chariot and cavalry generals have agreed to your request. I will receive the edict at an auspicious time and please wait for a moment. Liu Yu reported back.
Liu Min breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, Wei Ba agreed to accept the imperial edict, which was to move closer to the direction he wanted.
Liu Min immediately made arrangements for his entourage. The most critical moment was about to come. Naturally, he had to discuss a plan of action with his men. After making some arrangements, Liu Min invited the master to his room and told him that he was about to take action.
Then he asked kindly:
"Yang Jun, can your body support you after traveling thousands of miles?"
This person was arranged by Zhuge Liang himself. Even the chief envoy Liu Min knew that this person's surname was Yang, but he didn't know his full name. He usually only called him Yang Jun. He vaguely guessed from his accent and appearance that this person was from Liangzhou, and might be related to Jiang
Wei is somewhat related, but I don’t know what the relationship is.
"Please rest assured, sir. I once traveled thousands of miles in the snow-capped mountains to track down a rare snow leopard. The journey was not hard at all."
"Well, we will have to rely on Mr. Yang later." Liu Min ordered again: "If Wei Ba is willing to accept the imperial edict and follow me to the capital, there is no need to go to war. Only if he refuses to submit can force be used."
Yang Xiong nodded without saying a word.
Liu Min sighed, knowing that what he said was basically in vain. Firstly, it was impossible for Wei Ba to agree to exchange the king's title for military power. Going to Chang'an, from then on, the tiger was in a cage, and the dragon was in the shallows, how could he agree. Secondly, what was happening before him
This Yang Jun probably has another order, and no matter whether Wei Ba agrees or not, a fight is inevitable. Only when Wei Ba is dead can the future troubles be truly eliminated.
Compared with Wei Ba's men falling apart and attacking each other, Wei Ba himself is obviously a greater threat. The prime minister made so many arrangements, of course with the purpose of killing Wei Ba on the spot, and the secret edict was in his luggage
.As for the explanation afterwards, just look at Liu Yu and you will know that the prime minister had already planned it.
Liu Min waited in the post house. The time was not long, but he felt very uncomfortable. Every drop of water from the clepsydra seemed to drip into his heart.
In the evening, Wei Ba sent someone to inform him that he was ready and respectfully requested the imperial edict.
Liu Min almost jumped up. He took out the secret edict to kill on the spot from his bag. He stuffed it into his sleeve and tucked it carefully. Then he walked out, gathered his entourage, laid out the guard of honor, and walked all the way to Wei Ba.
Walk to the mansion.
The news that the emperor had envoys came out as early as when Liu Min entered the city. It was impossible for ordinary people to know that there were so many cuckolds in the court. They all thought that the emperor sent envoys to commend the generals of chariots and cavalry and their soldiers. Many people
Standing on the roadside watching the excitement. Liu Min and others walked along. More and more people gathered on the roadside, looking at them with eager eyes.
Liu Min secretly sighed in his heart. Wei Ba's methods were really clever. He just defeated Qingxu lightly, but he actually won the hearts of the people in such a short period of time. Looking at the eyes of these people, he knew that when Wei Ba died, Linzi was in chaos, and the people
Suffering will inevitably lead to enmity against the imperial court. It may not be that easy to capture Qingzhou in the future.
I hope that the Prime Minister's plan can go as planned, and that Zhao Tong, Fei Yi and others will be forced by the situation to bow to the court and actively cooperate with them to control the situation in Qingzhou.
Amid Liu Min's worries, they arrived in front of Wei Ba's mansion. Liu Min was surprised when he saw the guard of honor in front of the door. Wei Ba was a cavalry general, and it was normal to have guards with halberds in front of the door, but today's
There were too many guards. Far more than a hundred, they separated in front of the gate and spread to both sides, extending along the tall courtyard wall into the distance, seemingly surrounding the entire mansion.
Average.
This is a situation that only occurs when there is an emergency operation. Could it be that Wei Ba has been prepared? Liu Min was startled, and then smiled bitterly. Wei Ba is not a fool, how could he not be prepared at all. However, success or failure depends on
The key is only a moment. In the land of Crouching Ox, Wei Ba cannot affect the outcome no matter how many troops he deploys outside.
From the moment he accepted the mission, Liu Min was mentally prepared. If he failed, he would have to die for his country. If he succeeded, there was also a possibility of losing his life. Now, once he stepped through the door, his life and death were not in his control.
Hit.
He turned back and glanced at Yang Xiong. Yang Xiong tilted his head slightly, his eyes calm and calm.
As soon as Liu Min stepped into the vestibule, he saw Zhao Tong.
Zhao Tong was wearing armor. On top of the armor, he also wore a white robe without any ornaments. It was obviously a mourning dress. When Liu Min saw it, he was startled and asked hurriedly: "Old General Zhao..."
"I just received the news that my father passed away on the first day of the first lunar month." Zhao Tong took a step back and said, "I am in charge of serving. I am rude to you. Please forgive me, Mr. Liu."
Liu Min nodded repeatedly, feeling a burst of sadness in his heart. The last old man of the Yuancong Department passed away, and the Yuancong Department had disappeared.
"General, since you are serving me, why..."
"I am the Supervisor of the Army. How can I not come for such a big event?" Zhao Tong cupped his hands and said, "Please wait a moment, envoy. I will go in first to see how the preparations are."
Liu Min was very happy. Judging from Zhao Tong's attitude, he should be leaning towards the imperial court. Yang Xiong behind him frowned, took a step closer and said, "Sir, is this person Zhao Tong, the son of Zhao Yun?"
"Yeah, you know him?"
"No, this person walks with a strict and steady gait, but his arms are extremely agile. He should be a master of spear use, and he is good at both riding and walking. After thinking about it, maybe only he can do it."
Liu Min laughed. It was obvious that this expert was a little afraid of Zhao Tong. He said softly: "It doesn't matter. Although he is Wei Ba's senior brother, he is a supervisor sent by the prime minister. You don't need to regard him as an enemy."
Yang Xiong snorted and obviously relaxed a little.
After a while, someone came to report that the place was ready, and the envoy was invited to come in to deliver the edict. Liu Min coughed, and while she was getting dressed, she winked at Liu Yu and others again, and then took out her hands to hold the edict.
, walked towards the atrium with head held high.
The knights walked forward together, but were stopped at the door.
The tall Zhu Yi stretched out his hand and almost blocked the entire door. He grinned, his tone was very kind, but his attitude was very firm.
"Even if there are chief envoys and deputy envoys, these officials should wait in the front courtyard. It is not big enough to stand."
Liu Min's face darkened and he said nothing. Deputy envoy Liu Yu stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "When the emperor's envoy delivers an edict, he must be accompanied by a Langguan. How can he get to the general of chariots and cavalry? Even the rules of the court cannot be followed.
Already?"
Zhu Yi smiled and said, "My lord, please forgive me. I don't mean to offend. It's just that the cavalry general is frugal and refuses to use the deep courtyard. Therefore, the atrium is small and cannot accommodate so many soldiers." He pointed to the samurai dressed as a mandarin behind Liu Min and others.
: "So many people are crowded together, and when the soldiers and armors clash and clang, doesn't it harm the solemn etiquette? For the sake of court etiquette, it is better to stay in the vestibule. Anyway, there is only a wall, so it is the same.
"
Liu Yu wanted to argue again, but Liu Min coughed and interrupted their argument. He had known for a long time that Wei Ba would not let him bring all the soldiers in. It was inevitable that these people should stay outside, but according to the
Let's argue for an example so that Wei Ba can relax some of his vigilance.
"What you said makes some sense, but the etiquette of the court must also be taken into consideration. Let's do this. I will bring five soldiers in, and the others will stay outside. I believe the atrium of the Cavalry General will not be so small that it cannot even accommodate these few people.
.”
Zhu Yi was a little embarrassed, so he immediately sent someone to report. After a while, word came from inside that the general on horseback had already responded and asked the envoy to come in.
Liu Min had already ordered five soldiers, naturally they were Yang Xiong and his companions. They walked into the atrium with their heads held high, and found that there were only a few people in the atrium. Wei Ba stood in the middle, Zhao Tong and another scholar-looking man
The young man stood behind him with his hands folded. There were two other strong warriors standing aside, with knives hanging on their waists and spears in their hands, watching everything in front of them vigilantly.
Liu Min breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although Wei Ba was well prepared, he still had some shortcomings, especially the serious lack of strength around him. The number of both sides was about the same, but their strength was not at the same level. He must have thought that the hundreds of people pretending to be Lang Guan were not at the same level.
If the dead soldiers stay outside, he will be safe, but he never expected that there is a real master hiding among them, and this master is the real trump card. The dead soldiers outside are just covering their eyes, and they stay outside just to
Make him feel at ease.
Liu Min admired Zhuge Liang at this time. This method seemed extremely dangerous, but it was one of the few ways to get close to Wei Ba.
Maybe even the only one.
Wei Ba must have never thought that we are dead soldiers. Not only the more than a hundred people outside, but also the five people behind us are dead soldiers. Liu Yu is also a dead soldier, I am also a dead soldier, and the prime minister far away in Guanzhong is also a dead soldier.
For those who die as a soldier, their loyalty to the emperor will not last until death.
Liu Min took a step forward and said with a smile: "General Chariot and Cavalry, please accept the imperial edict."
