Chapter 668 Borrowing a knife to kill (4000)(1/2)
"this……"
After hearing Wu Liang's words, Sima Fang and Hu Zhao fell into silence.
After all, Lu Bu was also a figure who had controlled the government. Everyone in the world was familiar with this name. Of course, it was impossible for these two people not to know about it.
And it is impossible for them not to know about the things Lu Bu had done, especially when Lu Bu's evil deeds of excavating the tombs of Han clan clan members and princes and nobles in Luoyang were already known to everyone.
However, Lu Bu did not suffer too much infamy for this.
Because he personally killed Dong Zhuo and became the biggest hero of the Han Dynasty, and people believed that those actions were orders from Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu was just an executor who had to obey the orders, so these things were naturally attributed to Dong Zhuo.
With Dong Zhuo's death, the matter was settled.
"So, the foreigner who took the strange fruit was actually not an unknown person. He was actually Lu Bu?"
Hu Zhao murmured to himself.
"To be precise, before taking the strange fruit, Lu Bu was just a nobody. But after taking the fruit, he underwent unimaginable changes. Just like the field mouse that walked away from your hands, he gained courage.
The ability to conquer the world...the person who achieved it was none other than Mr. Kong Ming’s unintentional act.”
Wu Liang nodded and said.
"..."
Hu Zhao was speechless, and the expression on his face was very complicated.
"Sir, are you sure that Lu Bu did this?"
Sima Fang then confirmed to Wu Liang.
"Not entirely sure."
Wu Liangze shook his head again and said seriously, "The only thing I can be sure of now is that what happened to the Sima family's ancestral tomb is inseparable from the Xiling warriors, because as far as I know, the only person who commits theft in the world is Xiling."
Lingli people do not respect ghosts and gods. If it were someone else to do this, they would definitely not dare to do it right, lest they accidentally mess with something unclean and end up with a treasure but a lifeless flower."
"As for Lu Bu, I can only guess based on Mr. Kong Ming's description and Lu Bu's life experience that he is probably the foreigner that Mr. Kong Ming met back then."
"It's just that these thieves have an accent from the north of Bingzhou and the same techniques as Xiling warriors, which makes me have some doubts about him. If the head of the Sima family has the ability to find out Lu Bu's current whereabouts, he may be able to solve this matter.
If you give it priority and verify it, you might be able to gain something."
He was still deliberately leading Sima Fang to cast doubt on Lu Bu.
After all, Wen County is not far from Anyi, where Lu Bu last appeared, and with such a big thing happening in Anyi recently, especially involving Emperor Xian, it is absolutely impossible for Sima Fang not to have received the slightest news even if his hands and eyes are not very good now.
really.
"Is it really related to him?"
Sima Fang had already begun to use his brain under the guidance of Wu Liang, and said thoughtfully, "I have received some news. A few days ago, Cao Mengde and Lu Bu went to King Qin of Anyi, Hedong County. As a result, Lu Bu betrayed Cao Mengde that night, and the two sides fought for a while.
Cao Mengde won a great victory, but Lu Bu has disappeared... It is not impossible to say that Lu Bu fled to Wen County. After all, he and Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, were both former soldiers of Ding Yuan. The two had a close relationship. Last year, Lu Bu and
When Yuan Shao was at odds, he came to seek refuge with Zhang Yang once. Now that he is in trouble, it is natural that he may come to seek refuge with him. Moreover, Wen County is the place where he made his fortune, so it is reasonable to revisit his old place."
Perfect!
Seeing that Sima Fang's thinking had gradually been guided by him to "normal", Wu Liang did not say anything more, but stood aside and waited for Sima Fang to make his own decision.
He really couldn't be too positive about this matter, as being too positive would make it look abnormal.
And the Sima family is definitely not a fuel-efficient person. If you talk too much, you may accidentally leak some mistakes, causing some unnecessary troubles.
"If so..."
In just a few seconds, Sima Fang had already made a decision in his mind, and immediately said to his eldest son Sima Lang, "Boda, you can lead some people to Hanoi County and explore Lu Bu's traces along the way. If you find out, Don't conflict with him about his whereabouts, just ask him to tell him the whereabouts of the bones of my ancestors, even if you pay a certain price, you can accept it, and tell him that the matter ends here, and my family will never pursue it further!"
"Father!"
Sima Lang was obviously very dissatisfied with this order, and he looked anxious and wanted to say something.
"Just do it!"
Sima Fang's expression instantly turned cold, and he glared at him and suppressed what Sima Lang wanted to say.
final.
"……only."
Sima Lang lowered his head and responded, then turned around and gathered people to prepare for action.
"Wait!"
Sima Fang stopped him again, as if he was a little worried about him, and said to the slightly younger Sima Yi behind him, "Zhongda, you go with Boda, remember what I just said, don't teach him Make an impulsive move, do you understand?"
"My child knows what he is doing, please don't worry, father."
Sima Yi answered with cupped hands.
He seemed much calmer than Sima Lang, and he was not dissatisfied with Sima Fang's order at all. He should have already figured out the reason why Sima Fang did this.
"..."
Wu Liang on the side saw this scene and began to admire Sima Fang a little.
This person is really too stable and tolerant. This is how he can stand in this troubled world.
No matter if this kind of thing happens to anyone, it is absolutely impossible for him to be as calm as Sima Fang, let alone be so forbearing, and even plan to continue to make compromises with the people who dug up his family's ancestral graves.
This is simply "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
However, I have to admit that this move can indeed prevent the Sima family from incurring greater risks. After all, Lu Bu himself is a "flying general" who is the most brave in the world, and Zhang Yang, who has a close relationship with him, is also the prefect of Hanoi with a heavy army. This If the two people join together, if the Sima family is unwilling to give up, it will naturally be difficult for them to reap good fruits.
And these arrangements have been made.
Seeing Sima Lang and Sima Yi hurriedly go to gather men, and then looked back at the messy ancestral graves, Sima Fang finally let out a long sigh, and the aura from his body just now was gone.
"well!"
At this moment, Sima Lang's back was no longer so upright, and his face had aged dozens of years in an instant, and his dejection was palpable.
Seeing Wu Liang, Hu Zhao and others looking at him, Sima Lang didn't seem to regard them as outsiders. He just showed an extremely painful smile and said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't expect that the Sima family suffered such a disaster today. You are laughing."
"The head of the family..."
Hu Zhao wanted to speak to persuade, but he didn't know what to say.
"Master Sima... I express my condolences."
Wu Liang also sighed and said helplessly.
It is absolutely impossible to recover the bones of the ancestors of the Sima family.
In fact, when Yu Ji saw that the Sima family's ancestral tomb occupied the vein of "Hidden Dragon", Wu Liang had already thought that the Sima family would suffer such a disaster, but he did not expect that it would happen so quickly...
At this moment, Wu Liang had quietly classified Cao Chun into the ranks of "enemies" that he must be wary of.
Wu Liang can completely imagine it.
If one day he and Boss Cao are really incompatible, Cao Chun will definitely be so decisive towards him. This person is like a sharp blade hanging on his head... It is impossible to win over such a person, it is impossible
There is no room for negotiation, either you die or I live.
"Mr. Wu was also harassed because of the Sima family's affairs, and he felt extremely guilty."
Sima Fang said to Wu Liang again, "Thanks to Mr.'s advice, now the matter has come to an end. The next step is the Sima family's own business. I don't dare to bother Mr. Wu any more. I will send someone to send Mr. back to the city to rest.
I hope you will have a better tomorrow and thank you sir."
"That's fine. If the Sima family master is of any use, just send someone to let him know."
How could Wu Liang not hear that this was actually Sima Fang's order to expel guests? Naturally, he would not stay here any longer and be an eyesore, so he immediately bowed and agreed.
I just don’t know what else Sima Fang plans to do next that he doesn’t want to teach Wu Liang and others to know...
So walking on the way back to the city.
Wu Liang felt that this trip to Wen County was almost over.
He had already learned the real reason why Lu Bu was transformed from a chief clerk to a "flying general", and he also confirmed that the Sima family had nothing to do with Lu Bu, and it was not difficult to judge that Lu Bu was most likely not in Wen County now.
In this way, the purpose of this trip has been achieved.
As for whether Lu Bu went to defect to Zhang Yang, that is another matter. Anyway, given his current situation, he will definitely not go to Hanoi County to continue the investigation in person. This is really too risky, and it looks like a moth no matter how you look at it.
The smell of fighting fire.
Wu Liang is not that stubborn.
The decision to avenge Dian Wei must be considered in the long term. As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. No matter how good the meal is, it is never too late. After all, Wu Liang is already thinking about Lu Bu. This matter is not over until Lu Bu pays the corresponding price.
.
…
Watched Wu Liang and others leave.
Sima Fang's expression soon became gloomy again, and he turned to look at Hu Zhao and said, "Kong Ming, if it is finally proven that what happened tonight was indeed done by Lu Bu, I'm afraid I will entrust you to go to Yanshi."
"Master, why is this?"
Hu Zhao said in confusion.
To be continued...
