When I woke up, I was fine
Chapter 40 Assassin
There are some high mountains around Luoyang. Taking advantage of the clear and crisp autumn, these dignitaries who don’t do production and don’t distinguish grains all call their friends and family to climb the mountains around Luoyang.
Cao Qiang and Guan Lengyan were not immune either. After climbing several times with their relatives and friends, Cao Qiang only felt tired and sore all over. Although he was a weapon spirit, his body was really human-like. Walk around a bit, and once you walk again, you feel tired and unbearable.
Cao Qiang and Guan Lengyan also discussed this issue. What Guan Lengyan meant was that Cao Qiang's spirit is unstable and his body is incomplete, which is why he is what he is today.
Li Jiancheng and Cao Qiang also took this opportunity to come out alone as husband and wife. Although there was a circle of servants behind them, the two of them went up the mountain happily, just like a young couple should be.
In addition, the two of them were originally married in autumn. At this time, they walked up the mountain together arm in arm like no one else, which made many people's eyes turn red with envy.
The purpose of the two of them this trip was to go to the top of the mountain to meet a few people. Cao Li had more than a dozen people who could be generals in this place.However, after screening, Cao Li picked out six people first.
Let these six people come to meet Li Jiancheng, but in order to avoid attracting the attention of others, they used the name of going to the mountains to admire yellow flowers to meet these people under the guise of this time.
On the way, Cao Qiang excused that he was exhausted and couldn't climb the mountain, so he insisted on letting Li Jiancheng carry him on his back. Fortunately, Li Jiancheng was strong and healthy, and a chubby girl like Cao Qiang could walk like flying with his back.
Because the mountain is sparsely populated, the surrounding mountain flowers grow very luxuriantly. At this time, the ground is full of yellow flowers. Cao Li grabbed one from the side and took off the leaves, and inserted the whole flower on Li Jiancheng's head. .
"Ju Tongji, I wish my husband good luck in the future."
Li Jiancheng carried Cao Yang on his back, sweet in his heart, but he said, "You have already figured out my temper, and you always use a few sweet words to coax me to work willingly at the most appropriate time. Do you know I just thought that you are so fat, so forget about carrying you, and throw you halfway, I will go to the top of the mountain first."
Cao Qian didn't take it seriously, "If you throw me on the mountain road, what if a wolf comes over and eats me?"
"Wolves are also beautiful and ugly. When they see you so ugly, you are so ugly and fat. If people see you, they will take a detour. Who will eat you?"
After hearing this, Cao Qian put his little hand into his neck and scratched at the collarbone a few times, "See if you dare to say that about me, if you say that about me again, I will tickle you."
"Don't dare, lady. Don't move around. If you don't move around, we can go to the mountain earlier."
Cao Qiang felt sorry for Li Jiancheng, waved back, and a strong woman ran over quickly, and handed the gourd filled with water to Cao Qiang, who unplugged the gourd and put the mouth of the gourd in Li Jiancheng's mouth. before. "Drink your saliva first, let's rest for a while, and then carry me over after you recover from this breath."
Li Jiancheng put Cao Li on the stone beside him, took a few sips from the gourd, looked at the mountain, and calculated the distance, "It should be almost here."
Just as Cao Qian was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something lurking somewhere else. He grabbed Li Jiancheng and asked sharply, "Who's there?"
Unexpectedly, a person jumped out of the bushes. This person was wrapped up, looked at them two times, turned his head and fled.The servants who followed at home wanted to chase him, but they didn't know if this person belonged to Tiaohulishan, so Li Jiancheng called the servants back.
He felt a little regretful at this time, worried that his indiscretion would attract others to follow him.Immediately began to think of various countermeasures.Quite a bit frightened suspect.
"You can't stay in Luoyang anymore, don't come back with me in a while, just take someone to your Zhuangzi."
Cao Qiang shook his head. He always felt that he had seen that person somewhere before. Whether it was from the body or the exposed eyes, Cao Qiang had a familiar feeling, but he couldn't think of where he had seen him before.
Could it be someone from my village, because I had such an idea because I had a relationship with myself once.Thinking that Guan Lengyan and I have taken care of these people on Zhuangzi for so many generations, it is impossible for anyone to betray him easily.
Cao Li shook his head, "I've seen this person before, but I can't remember where and who I met."
Li Jiancheng's mentality at this time was startled. Hearing what Cao Li said, he firmly believed that these people were coming for him and his wife, and he had already held the weapon in his hands.
"This is not a place to stay for a long time, let's get out of here quickly."
Everyone started to act. Cao Li didn't yell for someone to carry it at this time. He broke a branch and beat the leaves in his hand, and suddenly remembered.
"I remembered, this person is Yu Niang's fiancé."
Thinking back when the family was convicted and exiled, Yuniang came to ask her to borrow money, Cao Qiang lent the money to Yuniang, and accompanied Yuniang to quietly give the money to others.I met once at that time, but he was very down and out at the time.Cao Li didn't pay attention either, thinking of those eyes and figure was a little blurry today.I don't know why this person suddenly appeared in Cao Li's mind again.
"When we entered Chang'an, this family was dispatched to the frontier because the patriarch offended Yang Guang. Why did they appear here?"
Cao Qian couldn't figure it out, and Li Jiancheng couldn't figure it out even more.Of the two, Cao Qian only thought about the ins and outs of this matter?Li Jiancheng thought that today might not be able to achieve his goal.
"Let's go back to Luoyang now. You tell those people under your command that we won't be able to see each other today, and let them find a way to come to our house."
Just as I was talking, the woods on the mountain swayed due to the autumn wind, and the leaves made a rattling sound.
There was also the sound of weapons clashing in the wind. Cao Li looked towards the top of the mountain and saw someone walking through the woods.
These were a few dark-looking, powerful young men with weapons on their backs and bows and arrows. After seeing Cao Qiang, they were overjoyed and ran over quickly, bowing down to Cao Qiang and Li Jiancheng.
"Unexpectedly, the master is already here. We thought the master was still at the foot of the mountain. We thought it was getting late, so we came down to see if we could pick up the master. We didn't expect to meet the master just after walking a few steps. This is why we luck."
Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, but Cao Li didn't. She didn't know if the person who was wrapped up just now had any connection with these people in front of her.
Speak out at this time, pay attention to the expressions of these people, and see if they have any collusion.
"Just now, my husband and I met an assassin here. That person is covered in rags, but his eyes are sharp. He can travel thousands of miles without a hit... Did you meet this person just now?"
These people looked at each other quickly, with a little surprise in their eyes.
"Master, if it's the person we know, maybe he met the master when he went down the mountain."
These people stood by and told the whole story. Some people came to their village not long ago. I heard that there are some hunters in this village. They are all good hunters in the mountains. .
"After the elders in Zhuangzi asked, they realized that these people turned out to be a group of assassins who wanted to assassinate Yang Guang. They let us handle bows and arrows. If we can kill Yang Guang with one arrow, the benefits will be endless in the future. If Yang Guang is a fool Did not die at our hands, as long as they participate in the assassination this time, they will not treat us badly if there are still people alive, promised golden fields and beauties, everything that we expect."
Li Jiancheng recalled that he encountered several assassinations on the way from Chang'an to Luoyang, indicating that this group of people were all responsible.And these people in front of them are the pawns bought by those assassins.
Hastily asked: "Do you agree?"
If he agrees and is really involved in the assassination of the emperor, then these people and even this Zhuangzi will not be able to take over for the time being, otherwise Yang Guang will be noticed by then, and Yang Guang may be aware of the rebellion.
These people shook their heads.
"We have always followed what our ancestors said, and we farmed in Zhuangzi honestly. Unless the master called us, we would never give our lives to others. These people left our Zhuangzi because they saw that we were soft and hard. They thought it was over. But just a few days ago, these people came here again. This time, in addition to the beauties in the golden fields, they also made a promise to be promoted to a noble and a marquis in the future."
The capital invested was really big enough, both Cao Li and Li Jiancheng heard that there was a group of people who wanted to rebel like the Li family, and they were gathering people everywhere.If the assassination fails, it would be good to include these people in the team and work hard.
After these people said this, they looked at Cao Li with sorrow, "It just so happens that the master is here, and the elders also asked us to ask the master, what should we do if these people come again, these people have missed us once or twice. , if they refuse to agree for a long time, I am afraid that they will come up with some bad ideas."
Cao Li had already thought of what to do, but he silently took a step back and let Li Jiancheng make up his own mind.
Li Jiancheng thought for a while, but he couldn't understand the whole thing just by a few words from these people.
"How far is Zhuangzi from here? I want to talk to the elder personally."
"It takes half a day to go down the mountain on a fast horse. If we meet today, the master and uncle may not be able to go back at night."
Li Jiancheng thought about it, he was fine for the past few days, so he asked the servants at home to send a letter, saying that because he and his wife were greedy for the scenery in the mountains, they forgot to go back for a while, so they stayed overnight at the people's house in the mountains .
Immediately decided to go to Zhuangzi, and got to know the people in front of me, and each of them introduced to Li Jiancheng what they were good at.
What makes Li Jiancheng very happy is that these people are not only educated, but also good at riding horses. They are usually the leaders when they go hunting in the mountains.
Such a person only needs to train more, and after two or three battles, he will be a titan.
When he was happy, the whole person beamed with joy, and Cao Qian silently followed behind him, still unable to dispel his doubts in his heart, that person just now should be Yuniang's fiancé.
And I heard that most of the people who assassinated Yang Guang on the road were executed on the spot or the assassins committed suicide to keep a secret, and only one or two escaped.
And these fish that slipped through the net were able to escape successfully because they were covered by someone.
At this time, Cao Qian not only doubted whether the fish that slipped through the net just now, but if it was really a fish that slipped through the net, who covered him, could it be Yuniang?
Cao Qiang and Guan Lengyan were not immune either. After climbing several times with their relatives and friends, Cao Qiang only felt tired and sore all over. Although he was a weapon spirit, his body was really human-like. Walk around a bit, and once you walk again, you feel tired and unbearable.
