Chapter 221 Death Assassination(1/2)
Sima Xianger led the two hundred Luanwei to arrive quickly.
Today she was on duty in Yong'an Palace, so after receiving the notice from Dong Tie, she quickly arrived at Cuihua Building.
Because Dong Tie looked very serious when he was mailing the order.
Sima Xianger also became more careful. The two hundred Luanwei brought were all the old Luanwei girls, to ensure that no accidents would happen. Dong Qi was also very satisfied with Sima Xianger's sensitive reaction.
What did he remember?
How did Sun Jian die in the Romance?
To put it bluntly, it was because he found the jade seal in a well in the Luoyang Imperial City, which was envied by countless people.
Although I don’t know if history is really as stated in the Romance, the jade seal is indeed lost.
Dong Qiu wanted to try it out. If he could find the jade seal, it would have a very important effect on Dong Zhuo's future behavior.
But don’t underestimate this jade seal. The imperial seal is also called the gold-inlaid jade horn. It is said that it is a treasure left by Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang has the saying of the ancestor dragon, and the jade seal passed down also represents the fortune and orthodox status of the royal family.
When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he begged his daughter for the sake of a jade seal.
Because without a jade seal, all his decrees were difficult to implement. Is the jade seal so important in the legend? Dong Qi couldn't explain it clearly. But Dong Qi knew very well that with a jade seal, Dong Zhuo could stand firm in the great sense.
In the novel, when Sun Jian entered the imperial city, Luoyang was already in ruins.
God knows that he found it in that well. You must know that there are hundreds of wells of all sizes in Luoyang Imperial City.
Standing down from Cuihua Building, Dong Qi's details were slightly closed.
Cuihua Tower was a place for Emperor Han to study and study, and it was also a place for drafting edicts and office work.
Generally speaking, there will be dedicated personnel to manage the jade seal. The female official who manages the jade seal spends most of her time in Cuihua Building.
If, just if...
When Zhang Rang caused chaos, the female official in Cuihua Building found that the situation was not good, what would she choose?
If you dig a well, it should be a well near Cuihua Building. When Dong Qiu thought of this, he said to Sima Xianger: "Follow Cuihua Building as the center, look for wells within a range of 300 years. Don't ask me why, just do it."
Sima Xianger hurriedly bowed to her order and started searching with her.
Logically speaking, such a large-scale search will naturally attract the attention of many people. But this is Beigong, and it can be said that all the people were arranged by Dong Zhuo. As Dong Zhuo's only son, Dong Qiu's prestige is not inferior to Dong Zhuo.
What's more, as Guangluxun, he was in charge of things in the imperial city, so naturally he would not be suspicious.
Those who don’t know the situation will only think that this eldest son of the Dong family may want to cause some ups and downs in the Beigong. Because Dong Qi was not satisfied with Dong Zhuo’s destruction and the fact that he had a good relationship with King Hongnong can be said that everyone in Luoyang knew about it.
About half an hour later, Sima Xianger suddenly came to report.
A female corpse was found in a well located next to the laundry room. She looked through it and was probably the female official in the palace.
Dong Qi immediately asked Sima Xianger to lead the way without saying a word.
The well is located very remote. Because it is close to the laundry room, perhaps because it is convenient for water withdrawal, there is a slide next to the well. A rockery is located across the front of the well, surrounding the well in a semicircle. If you don't look carefully, it is really not easy to find.
The female corpse was soaked that it smelled unrecognizable.
It is precisely because this place is remote, after the rebellion of the eunuch temple, the laundry room was abandoned and moved to other places.
It must be that the female official was hiding in panic and did not want to fall on the slide and fell into the well.
The well was very deep, and the entire imperial city was in chaos that night. After falling in, no one would notice it, let alone save himself.
In his arms, Guan was holding a white jade box tightly, wrapped in a layer of yellow satin on it.
Dong Qi ordered Sima Xianger to take people to guard the body and take out the box from the arms of the corpse. The female official hugged her very close. Dong Qi even broke her finger before taking out the box. She endured the stench emitted by the corpse, untied the yellow silk, and opened the box.
Just a glance, Dong Qi immediately closed the box.
This is probably the thing!
He had never seen a jade seal, but judging from the jade horns inlaid with gold, it was in line with the characteristics of the jade seal.
Ask Dong Tie to take a bag and carry it in his hand.
Dong Qi took a deep breath and whispered: "This woman is amazing. Check her name and try to properly bury it."
"Here!"
Sima Xianger has not yet figured out what Dong Qi's divine behavior means.
He ordered someone to go down and arrange it, and Dong Qi tied his bag to the lion-maned beast's back, led the horse, walked the snow ghost, and walked out.
This snow ghost was the guard arranged by Wang Rong for him.
Both ends remained in the Cai Mansion to protect the safety of Dong Qi's family, while the other two became Dong Qi's pets. Wang Rong is now accused of Guanglu Military Officer, which is very similar to the official position when Dong Qi first entered the capital, and is also worthy of a salary of 300 s.
Although he was not as good as others, Wang Rong was very satisfied.
Dong Qi gave his family to him for protection, which shows that he trusted him, and on the other hand, he also hoped to become a confidant like a brother. Dong Qi's four major guards were re-equipped. In addition to staying in Zhangye and protecting Lu Zhi on his behalf, the other three remained by Dong Qi's side. Although Wang Rong's official position was not very high, many people envied him.
Especially when they directly commanded the trolls, they were the elite among Dong Qi's elites.
How to deal with this jade seal?
Should I give it to Bian or to my father? From the bottom of my heart, Dong Qi tends to return the jade seal to Liu Bian. But he also knows that it will definitely kill Liu Bian. It should be given to my father. With the jade seal, my father will definitely have more weight when he speaks.
After pondering for a while, Dong Qi made a decision.
I took Dong Tie to pay homage to Liu Bian first. I waited until Shen time, and it was only after three o'clock in the afternoon that I got up and said goodbye.
After walking out of Beigong, Dong Qi happened to meet Li Ru and was about to go home.
The two of them were talking and laughing. When they were about to get on the horse, they suddenly galloped from a distance. The horsemen shouted loudly: "Zhehou, big things are not good... Grand Master, when the Grand Master passed by Zhengyang Gate, they encountered and were attacked by assassins."
Dong Qi's head buzzed at that time and subconsciously shouted: "Xiao Tie, let's go!"
The lion-maned beast was violently snorted and ran upwards. Dong Tie was also a good horse from Dayuan, following closely behind. Two snow ghosts rushed away on both sides of Dong Qi. Li Ru stood at the gate of Beigong for a moment before reacting, and roared sadly: "Martial law, martial law in the whole city!"
*******
Dong Zhuo was indeed attacked.
On this day, he went to Yique Camp for inspection. Because the situation in Luoyang was calm, Dong Zhuo seemed very relaxed. He did not notify Dong Qi, and took Lu Bu to set out early in the morning, and there were three hundred tiger men with him.
There was a Lu Bu who could withstand thousands of troops, which was also Dong Zhuo's attitude towards the Bingzhou team.
Lu Bu was naturally very happy. Under Dong Zhuo's command, he was at least more valued than under Ding Yuan's tent. Although he had no actual command of the army, he knew that some things were too urgent. If Dong Zhuo could let him be an escort, wouldn't it mean that he trusted himself very much?
Originally, things went smoothly.
The head general of Yiqueguan camp was Dong Zhuo's confidant Han Meng, but the deputy general was Dong Qi's subordinate, Zhang He, the guardian commander. Although he could not be the Hu Ben Central Army, there is no doubt that the position of the guardian commander was far more powerful than the Hu Ben Central Army.
The position of guardian army has been in the Qin Dynasty. Chen Ping, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty, also held this position.
From this we can also see that Dong Qi had great expectations for Zhang He. Zhang He could also feel this clearly.
Han Meng is not good at military affairs, but he is extremely prestigious.
Zhang He was skilled in using troops, so he was naturally as if he was in water. What's more, Han Meng was also close to Dong Qi's faction, and the two got along very well. Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with the situation in Yiqueguan Camp. After the inspection, he returned to Luoyang happily.
Along the way, he also said: "I know Fengxian wants to achieve great achievements... Don't worry. When the major events are pacified, at most I will send troops to Shuofang at the beginning of next year. At that time, Fengxian and Xiping will lead an army to see who can kill the generals and seize the flag and make a contribution first."
Lu Bu was so happy that his blood was boiling.
He talked and laughed all the way and walked into Zhengyang Gate.
After more than half a year of rectification, Luoyang City has restored its earlier prosperous scene. There are many vendors in Zhengyang Gate.
The moment Dong Zhuo entered Zhengyang Gate, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Dong thief, come on your own!"
One person rushed out of the crowd, holding a sharp sword and rushed into the team. The man was only about seven feet tall, his arms were long, and his joints seemed to have been loosened, looking very strange. In his hand was a narrow sword three feet long and only one finger wide. The sword was like autumn water, swallowing and spitting cold light. After rushing into the crowd, he did not say a word, and stepped into the air and stabbed the two guards under the horse.
The assassination happened very suddenly, and no one expected it.
Lu Bu first reacted, and halberd was in front of him, shouting loudly: "Assassin, there is an assassin!"
Before he finished speaking, dozens of figures emerged from the panicked and noisy crowd, all covered in black cloth and wearing soft armor.
Then he took the lead and made extremely ruthless moves.
Four or five guards stopped him, but when he saw him taking a sword light, one of them died.
After the dozens of assassins joined, although they were not as good as the man before, they also had excellent sword skills.
Often, only four or five guards can trap one person. These people have no horses under their crotch, wandering among the crowd and suddenly taking action, which is also very vicious. Dong Zhuo's guards are all cavalrymen, and have experienced this kind of battle? It is inconvenient to move, and they can't beat others when they start. In the blink of an eye, dozens of guards fell into a pool of blood with their belly broken open.
Lu Bu was determined to come forward, but wanted to protect Dong Zhuo.
Seeing that his subordinates were massacred in this way, the anger in his heart was hard to express in words.
The tricks of these people are obviously the skills of the gangsters in the world. But where did these gangsters emerge?
Especially the seven-foot man, after killing more than a dozen guards, he felt as if he had entered a no-man state and came to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo frowned and said in a deep voice: "Fengxian just kills the enemy, don't care about my safety."
That being said, but Lu Bu couldn't do that. Once something happened to Dong Zhuo, he would be indebted to death.
There was already chaos inside Zhengyang Gate.
Suddenly someone turned out from behind the city gate and shouted: "Mr. Wen, don't worry, kill the enemy, I will protect the Grand Master."
Two people rushed over with dozens of people. Dong Zhuo also knew the leader, Wu Qiong, the city gate captain. The other person was named Zhou Li, and he was appointed as the Minister of Shangshu. The two of them held swords and ran towards Dong Zhuo, shouting: "Don't panic at the Grand Tutor!"
