Treacherous ministers have deep routines

In the early morning of the second day, Wei Man asked his cronies to spread the news, saying that he had met Lu Bu in other places in Chenliu.

Lu Bu was seriously injured and was dying.

Zhang Miao came to drink with Wei Man, his younger brother Zhang Chao hurried over and said, "Brother!"

Seeing that Zhang Chao lost his composure in such a haste, Zhang Miao reproached him, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's too rude, why don't you apologize to Meng De?"

Although Zhang Chao was a bit reluctant, he still cupped his hands and said, "Brother Meng De, you are so rude, please don't take offense."

Wei Man knew that Zhang Chao, although he was Zhang Miao's younger brother, had a lot of problems with him.

Wei Man is cautious and extremely suspicious. He prefers to associate with rough and straightforward people. Zhang Miao is good at giving, spends a lot of money on weekdays, and is quite rough. Therefore, he and Wei Man are best friends.

Zhang Chao is not the same. Zhang Chao is cautious, and just rebukes Wei Man.

When Zhang Chao made such an apology, Wei Man smiled magnanimously and said, "Hey, it's too outlandish. The three of us used to drink and chat together, why should we be so outlandish?"

Hearing Wei Man and Zhang Miao exchange greetings, Zhang Chao felt a little anxious, and gave Zhang Miao winks again and again.

Wei Man smiled and said: "It seems that you brothers have something to say, so I don't want to disturb you, so I will leave first. Let's have a good drink and chat someday, okay?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Miao said: "What my brother said is right, then Brother Yu will..."

Wei Man stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother, please!"

Only then did Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao leave Wei Man's courtyard. After leaving, Zhang Miao said, "What's the matter, so nervous?"

Zhang Chao said: "Brother, brothers have discovered Lu Bu's whereabouts!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Miao said in surprise, "That thief Lu Bu? Where is he now?"

Zhang Chao said: "It's half a day's journey from here. It is said that Lu Bu is seriously injured. Brother, we must rush to capture Lu Bu immediately. If the thief Lu Bu recovers from his injuries and regains his guard, we will not be able to hold him anymore." !"

When Zhang Miao heard it, it was true. Lu Bu was known as a flying general. Although he was not outstanding in the field of soldiers, his martial arts were unmatched in single combat. It is not easy to take him.

Zhang Miao narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Okay, after I resign from Mr. Wei, we'll start right away, without delay!"

"yes, Sir!"

Seeing Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao leaving the courtyard "sneakily", Wei Man knew what they were going to do.

It must be that his strategy succeeded, and the Zhang Miao brothers took the bait.

Wei Man knew that if Zhang Miao was the only one, he might not be able to take the bait so easily, but Zhang Miao had soft ears and couldn't help being persuaded by others, and Zhang Chao held him back.

As Wei Man expected, Zhang Miao came to bid farewell in a short while. At dusk, Chen Liu's prefect Zhang Miao, along with his younger brother Zhang Chao, and a group of trusted followers left the Wei family's old house in a mighty manner. .

Wei Man went to see off Zhang Miao's team at the gate of the Wei residence, and then sneered when he saw Zhang Miao's team leave, turned around and went back to the house, striding towards the courtyard where he was staying.

"Squeak-"

Wei Man pushed open the door and walked in, only to see Lu Bu still lying on the couch, his expression slightly better.

Zhang Rang was changing his dressing. He unbuttoned Lu Bu's shirt, exposing his wound, and carefully cleaned Lu Bu's wound.

Zhang Feng is holding the medicine box and serving at the side.

When Wei Man walked in, Zhang Rang just glanced at Wei Man, but didn't give him another look. Instead, he withdrew his gaze and concentrated on cleaning Lu Bu's wound and changing his dressing.

When Wei Man saw Zhang Rang's attitude, good guy, he paid attention to Lu Bu with all his heart, and didn't take himself seriously at all?

All of a sudden, he felt as if he had eaten a handful of sour plums again, his heart burning with sourness.

Wei Man walked in and said, "Zhang Miao has already left."

As he spoke, he sat on one side with his legs crossed, taunting Lv Bu in a carefree manner, and said, "Captain Lu, yesterday I told you to let your horse go, but it's dusk today, isn't it time for your horse to run to the end?"

Lu Bu squinted his eyes at Wei Man, seeming to be very vigilant, but his painting halberd was not with him. In order not to let Zhang Miao find out, Lu Bu's weapon painting halberd was hidden behind the cabinet in the house.

Lu Bu didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he looked at Wei Man warily.

Wei Man said with a smile: "The famous flying general Lu Bu has to rely on the protection of us to survive. Tsk, if this gets out, Captain Lu's face will be..."

Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "How are you doing?"

Wei Man spread his hands and said, "I'm not doing well, I'm just worried. Now we saved Captain Lu's life, and because of Captain Lu, we deceived my best friend Zhang Miao. I don't know Is it worthwhile to do this thing? Captain Lu is a ruthless master. He turned his head and silenced us if his injury didn't get better. After all, Captain Lu can't escape the two circles of current affairs and ambition. , it’s like you killed your adoptive father Ding Yuan and took refuge in Tong Gao, isn’t it?”

Regardless of ambition or the situation, Zhijinwu Dingyuan treated Lu Bu very seriously, not to mention as if he was his own, but he was also regarded as a confidant and adopted as his adopted son. Lu Bu did kill Ding Yuan and recognized the thief as his father. In the eyes of other warlords, Or as a swordsman, it is an indelible historical stain.

When Lu Bu heard this, he struggled to get up immediately, and said, "Okay, Bu will not trouble you, so I will leave!"

He said he was going to leave, but the wound on his abdomen was too big, he couldn't help but "hiss..." when he moved a little, the wound split open immediately, and the cloth towel that had just been bandaged was immediately stained red.

Zhang Rang looked at it, frowned, and said coldly, "Stay still."

His voice was very cold, with an irreversible majesty, which made Lu Bu, who had always been very arrogant and conceited, stunned for a moment.

Zhang Rang said coldly: "Your life was saved by me, and now you are also my patient. If you don't cherish your body and fight for a moment, it will only make people look down on you, and you are not a hero."

Lu Bu pressed on his wound, his scalp was numb from the pain, and he took two deep breaths.

Wei Man saw that Zhang Rang was on his side, and scolded Lu Bu, and his voice was very angry, and his words were cold, like an ice pick.

In this way, Wei Man was pleased, and he acted like a good boy, saying: "You still pretend to be weak? Who doesn't know that the flying general Lu Bu didn't change his face when he was injured, but now he is pretending to be weak."

He said, and said to Zhang Feng: "Zhang Feng, tell me, am I right?"

When Zhang Feng heard it, he had a troubled look on his face. The wound was so horrific, the pain shouldn't be faked, it's just...

It's just that the lord asked himself this way, and Zhang Feng couldn't deny it, he hesitated and said: "Bong... Feng..."

When he said this, Zhang Rang finally got up, wiped the blood on his hands with a handkerchief, and said to Wei Man, "Lieutenant Wei, let's go out and talk."

Zhang Rang threw the handkerchief into the water basin, and walked out of the house first, Wei Man stepped in and followed behind with folded arms, and walked out unsteadily.

The two came out, walked as far as possible, and came to the back of a rockery. Zhang Rang looked at Wei Man and said in a low voice, "Why does Captain Wei always target Captain Lu?"

Wei Man didn't admit it, and denied it outright, saying: "No, why have I ever done such an unreasonable thing? It's just a matter of fact."

Although Wei Man said so, he didn't even believe it himself. Sure enough, Zhang Rang didn't believe it either. He stared at Wei Man and said, "Since Captain Wei agreed to Rang's conditions, don't target Captain Lu any more and let him heal his wounds." good."

Hearing this, Wei Man was inexplicably furious, sneered, and said, "Zhang Rang, you speak for Lu Bu everywhere, it seems that you think that Captain Lu is a good man? Killing the righteous father, recognizing the thief as his father, helping the evildoer, helping the Dong thief with cholera The imperial court slaughtered the common people, how could he look like a kind-hearted person?!"

Wei Man said a lot in one breath, and then said: "Since you are facing him like this, why don't you just follow him in Luoyang City!"

Hearing Wei Man questioning himself like a cannonball, Zhang Rang was suddenly puzzled, looked at Wei Man strangely, and said, "Why are you angry?"

When he asked such a question, Wei Man was also stunned, his mind was in a state of confusion for a moment, why did he get angry?

Wei Man was a frivolous man with no prestige, and always used frivolity to cover up his suspicions. Anyone who knew him knew that Wei Xiaowei never really got angry with others.

But now, the anger in Wei Man's heart was really burning uncontrollably, almost burning out his reason.

Zhang Rang said: "Lv Bu is here, it must be sent by Tong Gao to arrest you and me. If he can be turned against him, it will be a good thing for Captain Wei..."

As he spoke, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, and he said, "Jean really doesn't understand, why is Colonel Wei angry?"

When Wei Man heard Zhang Rang asking himself such a question, his heart skipped a beat, he felt a little numb, and said in a concealed manner, "I'm too lazy to talk to you."

After saying that, he turned around and left, threw Zhang Rang behind the rockery, and walked away.

Zhang Rang looked at Wei Man's back strangely, still very suspicious, his eyes were full of confusion, thinking about Wei Man, it was really strange, he instigated Lu Bu, obviously plotting for Wei Man, why is he like this Angry?

Zhang Rang was puzzled. Seeing Wei Man leave, he wanted to leave too. At this moment, he suddenly heard a "boom!", and a voice suddenly came from the fake cave next to Zhang Rang. Someone was only separated from Zhang Rang. With a layer of stone walls...

After dusk, the widow of the Wei family sneaked out of her courtyard and went straight to a remote place. She was walking when suddenly a big hand covered the widow's mouth and nose, and pulled her into a nearby rockery. middle.

The widow was frightened and wanted to struggle, but the man's movements were very frivolous.

The widow was pulled into the fake cave, and when she saw the person who treated her contemptuously, she immediately lost her frightened expression, and said with a charming joke: "Dead man! You are going to scare me to death! How annoying! Scared me to death, yes!" What are you doing?"

"My darling, how could I scare you to death?"

Zhang Rang wanted to leave, but suddenly he heard someone talking, a man and a woman, the woman is a widow from the Wei family, the man's voice is very strange, it is unknown who it is.

But it's not hard to hear that the two of them came here to have an affair, and they didn't know that Zhang Rang was nearby.

The person who had an affair with the widow was a trusted servant of the old Wei. He had been in the Wei family for a long time. When the widow of the Wei family died of her husband, the servant immediately got on good terms with the widow, and the two had a lot of contacts in private.

The servant smiled and said, "My dear lady, you asked me to come over, do you miss me?"

The widow said coquettishly: "Who would think of you, you bastard! I'm serious! If you can help me with this matter, let alone I commit myself to you, you and I will definitely be prosperous. By then you Are you still using him as a servant in the Wei family? Maybe he will be able to follow the Prime Minister Tong Gao and make a fortune from now on!"

Zhang Rang didn't want to eavesdrop, he wasn't interested in these adulterous matters, but when he heard the word "Tong Gao" suddenly, he kept his eyes open, stood still, and listened with his breath held.

The servant Nahan said, "Tong Gao? What's the matter?"

The widow lowered her voice, but they were very close to Zhang Rang, only separated by a thin rockery wall, so Zhang Rang could hear them clearly.

The widow said, "Do you know who is Wei's nephew who is staying in our house?"

The servant said, "Isn't it from my nephew?"

The widow quickly said: "It's a big mistake! He is the wanted criminal of the imperial court, the former captain of Xiyuan, Wei Man!"

"what!?"

The servant was taken aback and said, "Wanted criminal?"

Zhang Rang narrowed his eyes, he didn't expect the widow to know their identities, but how did the widow know Wei Man's identity?

Zhang Rang thought so, and the servant also had this question, so he replaced Zhang Rang and said, "How do you know?"

The widow said: "It's absolutely true, I swear to God! That day, Wei Man's concubine brother was drunk and wanted to treat me lightly, and said a lot of big things, so he told the whole thing!"

Zhang Rang suddenly realized, Wei Su!

On the day they visited Chen Liu's land, Wei Su was indeed drunk and couldn't wake up no matter what, so he didn't take Wei Su out with him, it was true.

The widow said again: "This is a good opportunity for us to make a fortune! If you can send a letter and report on the wanted criminals, wouldn't it be a great achievement? Who doesn't know that the imperial court is now ruled by Tong Gao? When the prime minister likes it, he will seal you up." High official, lowly concubine...isn't it yours?"

Zhang Rang thought to himself, if he really asked the servants to deliver the letter, even if Lu Bu didn't expose them, Tong Gao's minions would not let them go, and it would be troublesome then.

Zhang Rang felt that it was not too late, and wanted to get away and go to Wei Man to explain the matter and let him make plans early.

As a result, at this moment, the servant suddenly saw Zhang Rang's shadow cast on the ground, shouted, and said, "Who is it?!"

The servants and the widow rushed out to see Zhang Rang. Although they didn't know the details of Zhang Rang, they believed that he was Wei Man's accountant, and they would definitely inform Wei Man, and then they would be finished.

The widow yelled, "Don't let him get away!"

The servant rushed out immediately, grabbed Zhang Rang, dragged him back, and pressed Zhang Rang fiercely into the rockery.

"Ho..."

Zhang Rang was not as strong as the servant. When the servant grabbed him and twisted his arm, he felt a sharp pain in his back. The servant bent his elbow and hit him. The pain caused his internal organs to be displaced. The servant was not counted. After that, he dragged him to hit the rockery again, Zhang Rang's forehead was smashed immediately, blood flowed profusely, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The widow's eyes turned red anxiously, and she teased the servants.

The servant's eyes were also bloodshot, and seeing the blood, he didn't do anything, just rushed over and rode on Zhang Rang, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and wanted to strangle Zhang Rang to death...

Wei Man and Zhang Rang had a big fight, which was naturally one-sided.

He left angrily, walked out of the gate of Wei Zhai in one breath, turned around the door like a millstone a few times, and slowly calmed down.

I feel that I shouldn't, how can I quarrel with Bao Zang?Isn't this against yourself?

Wei Man thought to himself, why don't you go to accompany me? As the saying goes, don't reach out to hit a smiling face, isn't that the reason?In case there is any estrangement from the treasure in the future, the one who loses is himself.

After persuading himself in this way, Wei Man turned around and entered the Wei residence again, walking back.

Wei Man originally wanted to go to Zhang Rang, but he didn't know that it was far away, before he could go back, he heard a low cry of "Hey...", which seemed to be Zhang Rang's general cry, and besides that, it was accompanied by violent struggle Voice……
