Chapter 129 Jia Xu's wry smile
Pei Qing did not stop immediately after killing Li Ru, but took out a needle tube, filled Li Ru's blood, and carefully put it away, thinking silently: "I just need simple tempering to extract Li Ru's genes and then match them to the right people. Instead, it is much easier to extract the genes of Zhu Jun and Dong Zhuo. This is a great gain from this trip."
Princess Wannian burst into tears and murmured: "Brother Bian, Li Ruye, the murderer who killed you directly back then, has been killed. It is your brother-in-law who avenged you. The Spirit of Heaven will surely bless him to return to Yuzhou safely, and then lead a large army to drive away the Xiliang army, quell the rebellion of the princes, restore the world of our Han family, and revitalize the foundation of our ancestors."
After saying that, Princess Wannian bowed to Pei Qing again and choked and said, "Yuanqing, thank you for killing Li Ru and avenging me for defending me. Actually, I thought you were reluctant to kill him. After all, this person is also a very smart person, with the most talented and intelligent world. If you recruit your command, you will have a bad idea for you in the future to plan for my Han family. It is not impossible..."
"The princess's words really make me dare not agree with me. Although I am eager to seek talent, it depends on the character of talents. Although I am not many talents, not even every one of them is a top figure in the world, but there is no problem with every virtue. How could I keep a person like Li Ru? What's more, this person poisoned the Shao Emperor, not only your enemy, but also the enemy of millions of ministers of my Han Dynasty. How could I leave his life with such a person? As for what you said later, I have also reserved it. What I don't care about is not the Han world, but the Han princess..."
In fact, as Pei Qing's strength is getting stronger and stronger, it is naturally impossible to say that he has no ambition in his heart. However, no matter what, Princess Wannian cannot know. After all, she is a princess of the Han Dynasty and her heart is still towards the Han Dynasty. Although girls are outgoing, there are principles. What's more, Princess Wannian has not officially married Pei Qing. Even if she has feelings, she has not yet abandoned the Han Dynasty for him, so she naturally has to use such words to cover it up.
"Bah, the previous words were pretty normal, but the ones behind them became more and more unruly. They even teased me in public. Just because you have made meritorious service for my great man, I don't care about you. Also, you will be mine in the future... That's it. As long as you don't call me in front of outsiders, don't call me by the princess and call me Ning'er..."
When Liu Ning said this, her face turned red. She quickly glanced at Xu Chu and others beside her, but saw that they all turned their faces to the side and said with a solemn expression: "We didn't see anything..."
"Puchi..." Liu Ning laughed when she saw this scene. How could this guy not see the scene just now? But she didn't care about it anymore. Her brother's big revenge was avenged, and she was very happy and no longer cared about this little thing.
Then Pei Qing cut off Li Ru's head and led the soldiers directly out of the main gate. While walking, he shouted loudly: "We are righteous men from the world. Today we are here to eliminate the thieves for the country. The thief leader Li Ru has been killed. Don't resist unnecessary things."
At this time, Fan Lin spoke to Pei Qing and said, "Meng Qi, there is no need to talk to them. It's not too late. Since we have succeeded, hurry up and Xiang Zheng..."
Pei Qing immediately interrupted when he heard this, "Shut up, you almost exposed our identity, why don't you leave quickly? I have Li Ru's token here, and there are many fast horses in the mansion. Let's escape back to Huai overnight..."
Speaking of this, Pei Qing hurriedly stopped, as if he had leaked the secret.
"What should they do?" Xu Chu also said, "Or it would be just killed."
Pei Qing said lightly: "Ling Ming, your murderous intention is always so strong. They are just soldiers. What can they hinder? Tie them to their hands and feet, block their mouths, and lock them in the house. There will naturally be someone to rescue them at that time, so why bother to hurt their lives?"
"Since that's the case, then do it." Xu Chu grinned after hearing this, then called everyone to tie the guards' hands and feet, blocked their mouths, and locked them from outside the door. Then he rushed to the city gate and presented the tokens found from Li Ru to the gate guards. The city gate guards did not dare to neglect the tokens of Li Ru, so they hurriedly opened the door and let them go.
Not long after Pei Qing and the others left, Dong Bai woke up the coma soldiers and then sternly warned them that the Wannian Princess had escaped and they had an unshirkable responsibility. Once this matter was discovered, they would inevitably die, so they must keep this secret, otherwise they would definitely be unable to escape their lives.
So, at Dong Bai's instruction, these soldiers got drunk when they changed shifts the next morning, and tied up the soldiers who changed the shifts. Soon after, they sent a message to them and the families of the soldiers who were on the rotation, saying that they had another business work and would have to wait two or three days before coming back. The group worked together and finally kept the matter temporarily.
At the same time, Dong Bai sent another soldier to Jia Xu's mansion before dawn and handed him the letter written by Pei Qing to him.
Jia Xu was very confused, and he didn't know who would send him a letter at this time. After opening it, he saw the letter read: "Pei Qing, the governor of Yuzhou, Zuo Fengyi, the secretary of Shangshu Jia Wen and Taijian, and he heard that Mr. Jia was a hero in the world and had a wonderful idea of the world. Although he had good peace, he did not dare to compete. However, with the words of the emperor, the emperor was robbed, and all officials were afraid of war again at dawn. If the Xiliang army generals were benevolent and political, it would be a blessing for the emperor and the blessing of the people. However, like Li Jue and Guo Si, they were all vulgar martial artists, who did not understand national affairs, who would prosper, and who would rebel against me, which would cause the Han people to be shaky. After a thousand years, historians recorded this matter and decided to use the public to help the evil, just like Li Ru, who was wise but not righteous.
The road is now different from the body and head, and I regret it. Besides, although the Xiliang army is proud for a while, how can it last? In the blink of an eye, when the army of the king is coming, the Xiliang army and horses are like smoke and dust. At that time, how can you face the world? You will become a rat crossing the street, like a dog that has lost a family. You are a genius of the world, and you are applying it to help the poor and the poor, turning the tide and supporting the building to fall, how can you do this unstoppable thing? I cherish your talent and advise you with good words. I hope you will think twice. If you change your mind and look for the country, and wait for the day when Chang'an is restored, I will definitely notarize your innocence and recount your merits. By then, you will be a meritorious official in the world, and you will be a wife and son, and you will be famous for your generation. Wouldn't it be a beautiful?"
"What? Li Ru died? He used Li Ru's life to warn me and asked me to take it as a warning."
After reading the letter, Jia Xu smiled bitterly. Pei Qing used Li Ru's death to threaten him, flattered himself, and used his reputation and honor and disgrace to lure him. He really did everything he could to do.
In fact, the most important thing is that I have been targeted by Pei Qing now. If I don’t do what he said, if the Xiliang army is defeated in the future, I may not even be able to save my life, let alone achieve success?
What's more, although I was confident that I could figure out where Pei Qing was, I was not sure to save his life. Instead, I would completely anger him and bring myself to death.
"Forget it, the Xiliang Army is not my private property anyway. If it is gone, it will be gone. I am not unable to cooperate. But I hope that Pei Qing will keep his word. Otherwise, even if I fight to die, I will bring you trouble you unexpectedly." Jia Xu said softly with a few traces of helplessness and a few traces of sinisterness in his eyes.
