Chapter 92 Like a Great Enemy
?In the morning, the sky was covered with clouds, which foreshadowed a storm. Di Ling Xie Hua's mood was extremely depressed like a cloudy sky. He was an ordinary Di Ling, now facing a turn of life~щww~~lā
Di Ling is responsible for managing the mansion. This is a position to be sent to the public. It is similar to the inn shopkeeper. The only difference is that the people staying in the hotel are officials of all sizes, and if you are not careful, you will be unlucky.
He worked as a diligent decree for more than ten years since his old Qi Dynasty. With the belief of carefully sailing a ten thousand-year-old ship, he worked diligently for more than a dozen years. Seeing that the new dilige was about to succeed, he encountered a disaster.
Today, Xi Sheng, the second son of Xuzhou General Manager Xipiro, was coming to the envoy's residence to visit Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou who was staying here. Such human relationships were nothing. After all, foreign officials living in the envoy's residence often came to visit with relatives and friends, but these two were different.
Xi Sheng and Yuwen Wen had a holiday and had a conflict outside Shouchun City, Yangzhou. Xi Erlang was slapped in the face and slapped into a pig's head. Xie Hua only learned about this later. He thought it was two domineering rich men who had a conflict, but he did not expect that things would go out of control.
Yuwen Wen is the second son of Yuwen Liang, Duke of Qi. The court now attaches great importance to Shannan, so Xi Sheng suffered a loss in the conflict. As a result, this person seemed to be dissatisfied and later made an accident in Yecheng.
Half a month ago, Xie Hua was sending the director of the residence and was shocked to know that Yuwen Wen, the Xiyang County Duke who had entered the palace, was taken into the palace as a demon and was arrested in the Qiu official prison. He was so anxious that he led his men to the prison to save people regardless of his rank.
It was still one step too late to hurry up. Someone first proposed the Xiyang County Duke to lie to castrate him. It was thanks to Yuwen Wen who used some unknown method to let others be a substitute and escaped the disaster himself.
The Qiu government made a mess because of this. After all, Yuwen Wen did not have any accidents, avoiding the tragic situation of people. Afterwards, Xie Hua did not know how the case progressed by the envoy behind the scenes was progressing, but he knew that Xi Sheng was very suspicious.
Di Ling's position is not high, but he has attracted more contacts. Through some channels, Xie Hua learned that the servants of Xifu happened to be in the Qiu Guanfu prison that day, so it is very likely that Xi Sheng would attack Yuwen Wen.
This kind of destruction has nothing to do with Xie Hua. When the men of powerful families fight each other and make a big deal, there will naturally be old men in their own families coming to end. He is afraid that he will be affected and suffer the unintentional disaster.
A few days ago, Xi Sheng sent someone to send a message to visit Yuwen Wen to the envoy's residence. The explicit meaning was to "apologize". It seemed normal, but Xie Hua knew that there must be a world of things.
Xi Sheng has been to Yecheng for at least a month. If he wants to apologize, he should come early. Moreover, his father Xipiluo was also in Yecheng at that time. If Xipiluo brought his son to apologize, Yuwen Wen would have to pretend to behave and ignore past grudges.
Xipiluo had just left Yecheng and returned to Xuzhou. In just a few days, Xi Sheng wanted to come to the door to apologize. The more Xie Hua thought about it, the more something was wrong. He felt that something big would definitely happen. If two people were pulling their swords and slashing each other, he would be the first to be charged.
Xi Sheng must be holding back the water and causing trouble, and Yuwen Wen is not easy to meet. Both of them are young people. As the saying goes, they will never give up until they are in trouble. So Xie Hua invited "reinforcements".
An official trotted over from outside the door and shouted in a low voice with joy on his face: "Di Ling, here you are here!"
When Xie Hua heard this, his eyebrows relaxed and led several subordinates out of the gate of the envoy's residence. Several teams of soldiers were heading out on the east and west sides of the street. This was a team sent by the Qiu government to maintain order on the scene to avoid accidents.
"Thank you all, thank you for your hard work." Xie Hua bowed and sincerely thanked the leaders for their ban on violence.
"It's Xie Diling. We are ordered to maintain order. Let me introduce these people..." One of the first people to introduce the people who were traveling with Xie Hua.
Today's affairs were not only forbidden violence, but also forbidden You came with his troops. Xie Hua reported to Shangguan that Xi Sheng was coming to envoy the residence, and also stated the interests. Now it seems that his report has indeed attracted attention, alarmed the Qiu government and mobilized people to help.
'Maybe the Prime Minister knows it...' Xie Hua thought so, seeing so many soldiers Ding Ru's appearance as a great enemy, he was much more at ease and discussed with the other party how to ensure the safety of the residence.
There were already soldiers at the intersections at both ends of the residence. The banyou began to disperse passers-by, and ordered ordinary people to detour. The banwu led people to guard the road. Although they did not reach the point of being ten steps, one post and one whistle every five steps, they could also be called being very vigilant.
Xie Hua led the soldiers to the houses around the residence to set up alerts, and slapped the doors from house to house, and accompanied the smile to make it convenient for the head of the household. Especially on the streets on the side of the residence gate, the houses facing the street were arranged to stare at the corners of the walls.
Although the residents in Zhidi area were not rich and noble, they were not ordinary people who were stupid. The face of Didi Ling might not be useful. However, with the officials from Qiu's government coming to the door to "reason", the household owners were much easier to talk.
When he encountered a house where no one was there, Xie Hua asked someone to bring a wooden ladder and asked the monarch to ride on the wall and stare at it, so as not to have assassins lurk in the yard. Although the scene was a bit ugly, be careful that the Wannian Ship, Xi Sheng and Yu Wen, no matter which one of them had something wrong, they would not be able to fall well.
After a while, at least he had arranged the outside of the envoy. Xie Huama kept turning back to the envoy and began to arrange the inside. As soon as the officials and servants in the envoy were ready to prevent strangers from entering and leaving.
Yuwen Wen and his entourage lived in the envoy's residence, and their daily diet was the envoy's residence, so ensuring the safety of food, butterfly and water is also the top priority. Xie Hua asked reliable people to stare at the kitchen. If the servants need to serve pastries and drinks, there will be people accompanying them.
From the kitchen to where Yuwen Wen stayed, someone was also arranged to be on duty along the way within a short distance, so as not to use any tricks halfway to "add ingredients" to those pastries and drinks.
The ban on violence and travel that came to maintain order, Xie Hua did not let the other party come in, so as not to be mixed with people with ulterior motives to get in. At that time, no one can tell who will be responsible.
There were people watching the corners of the mansion, and the banned violence was also taken outside. The banned tour led people around. I don’t think there would be any problems, but he was also concerned about one thing, that is, the movements on Yuwen Wen’s side.
If this person attacks, it will be hard to be guarded.
Xi Sheng often hangs around Yecheng, and Xie Hua has heard of his virtues. Like many young men from powerful families, he likes flying eagles, lackeys, and living things. He is a playboy, and it is normal for him to be a domineering style.
As for Yuwen Wen, he is so young and has a noble status, and he is not much better. Xie Hua feels that since this person can beat the slap in the face, his cruelty is probably higher than Xi Erlang.
So since the first day Yuwen Wen stayed in the residence, Xie Hua has been serving him with great concern. Although Yuwen Wen seemed approachable, he did not dare to take it lightly, for fear that one day he would accidentally anger the other party and lead to his life being lost.
It is because of this that Xie Hua is even more worried that Yuwen Wen will attack Xi Sheng. He could probably guess that the person who attacked Xi Sheng in the prison was bribed. So Yuwen Wen, as the "victim", could not have imagined that it would be impossible.
Although there is no definite evidence that Xi Sheng is the mastermind behind the scenes, Xie Hua does not think that Yuwen Wen can withstand this tone, so it is very likely that he will make some small moves today. As for whether he will instruct his subordinates to assassinate, I don’t know.
When he thought of this, his mood was depressed again, so he wanted to meet Yuwen Wen, hoping to move him with emotion and reason, so that the Duke of Xiyang County would be proud of his life and spare the lives of many people in the residence.
......
"Don't worry, Xie Diling, I sincerely want to resolve the grudges with Xilangjun, why are you so worried?" Yuwen Wen smiled. He was in the room now, talking to Xie Hua with a smile on his face.
"Envoy Yuwen, Mr. Xilang was a little unconsidered. Please let the envoy Yuwen Haihang..."
"Mr. Xi had already apologized for Xilangjun that day. Xie Di ordered not to worry. Now the Japanese official wants to have a drink and have fun with Xilangjun. I wonder if the wine and food in the residence are ready?"
"The wine and food are ready, but I'm afraid I won't be on the table."
"That's how it is, then I will send someone to the restaurant outside to set up a banquet."
"Envoy! The servant has asked the chef of the envoy to prepare the wine and dishes carefully, and he will definitely not be inferior to the wine shop outside!" Xie Hua was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. If he ordered a banquet from outside, it would be bad if someone poisoned it inside.
"That's how I believe in the standard of the kitchen. I'm afraid that if the Xilangjun disagrees, the scene will be unfavorable..."
"No, no, please rest assured, the official has made arrangements..."
"Has the arrangement been made outside? Don't be shocked by some inexplicable person. That official can't explain it clearly..."
"Rest assured that the Qiu government has sent people to maintain order, and there will be no problem."
After a moment of conversation, Xie Hua took his leave, and Zhang Dingfa was sent out. Xie Hua felt a little relieved when he saw Yuwen Wen's guard leader also. The eyes of this person looking at people were like an eagle staring at his prey, making him restless.
If Yuwen Wen wanted to take action, Xie Hua felt that this \ Dingfa must be the executor. Now that the other party has not disappeared mysteriously, it seems that there will be no problem.
The Duke of Xiyang County has no acquaintances in Yecheng. Xie Hua felt that no one would help him do such a thing. As for buying murder, Yuwen Wen would not be so stupid. Xie Hua felt a little relieved when he thought of this.
Zhang Ding sent him out of the courtyard and turned back to the room. He saw Yuwen Wen changing clothes. Zhang Yu took out a silver ring lock armor and was putting it on.
"How are you doing?" Yuwen Wen asked. Now, except for him, there are only Zhang Yu and Zhang Dingfa in the room.
"Mr. Lang, you're ready." Zhang Dingfa said. He looked at the ring lock armor on Yuwen Wen's body and nodded in admiration. "It's really eye-opening to be able to make such a top-notch soft armor in the mansion."
"The best one is on the big street, and I can only tie for second place."
The ring lock armor was very well worn on Yuwen Wen's body, just like a T-shirt from later generations, but the hem was slightly long, protecting Yuwen Wen's neck, arms and crotch, and the iron ring was tightly clasped on the mesh.
The front chest and back are covered with iron pieces, protecting the chest and abdomen tightly, both close to the body and not hindering movements. A robe is covered with a robe, and it is impossible to see that there is armor inside.
The knife is ineffective, and the dagger cannot penetrate the near-slash, unless the powerful crossbow is shot at a close distance of ten steps, but the arrow cannot completely penetrate the ring lock armor and cannot cause serious damage. Of course, if the arrow is poisoned, it is also said.
But the assassin won't have such a chance.
