Section 215: Chain Links (Part 1)(1/2)
.
The person was divided into the host and the host took the seat, Xiao Buyi was in the main position, Murong Luohu in the left hand, Li and others in the right hand, Gao Junya in the right hand, and Wang Wei accompanied him.
Originally, according to official titles, Li Yuan and Gao Junya and Wang Wei seemed to Murong Luohu were just a general and could not sit in Li Yuan's top leader. However, Li Yuan was extremely humble and kind, insisting that Murong Luohu made great contributions to the rescue of Taiyuan, and he took the initiative to join forces with Liu Zhenghui. Murong Luohu was not humble, so he sat in Li Yuan's top leader.
Wine is good wine, and dishes are good dishes. As the host, Gao Junya often toasted Xiao Buyi.
He was somewhat ulterior motives, and his heart was beating constantly.
"Mr. Xiao has made many extraordinary achievements recently, which is a blessing for me in the Sui Dynasty. If you are not talented, I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Xiao for another cup."
Xiao Buyi drank a cup from the high position, but felt energetic and glanced at Li Yuan and said, "Mr. Li is actually a great contribution. If I have to restrain Li Shanfei's main force in Huoyi, I cannot succeed in one blow. Since that's the case, I should respect Master Li with a cup."
Li Yuan stood up with a smile and said, "General Xiao is really too humble. I am old and Huo Yi cannot break through. If General Xiao had not rescued the siege, he might not have been able to drink here. I would have been polite to General Xiao for a drink."
He was humble and disliked except for Liu Zhenghui Xiao Buyi. He thought that this old ghost had no other ability except flattery. If the position of Taiyuan left behind fell on his head, Yang Guang would be blind.
After drinking a drink with Li Yuan, Xiao Buyi turned to Murong Luo's throat and said, "General Murong also made an indelible contribution in the suppression of bandits. General Pan died and Taiyuan City was in danger. General Murong tried his best to prevent the people of Taiyuan from being slaughtered. This alone is worthy of my respect for you."
Murong Luo's hands were trembling with excitement. He was just a side general. Xiao Buyi called him General, which was very respectful. He was a general who was a thousand miles away from Xiao Buyi. "Mr. Xiao, toast, is honored."
"In fact, except General Murong, the adults on the venue have made contributions to being able to defend Taiyuan City." Xiao Buyi raised his glass and signaled. "I am powerless in rewarding me, and I can only use one cup of water and wine to metabolize it."
Everyone spoke in unison, saying that they were responsible for their duties, and Lord Xiao was too rewarded.
Gao Junya was a little dissatisfied. He was the master here. Xiao Buyi had never said polite words except for having a drink with him. He wanted to get Xiao Buyi's support so he offered the treasure knife. But now it seemed that it was a mistake. Looking at the smile on Xiao Buyi's face, it was mysterious. Gao Junya suddenly felt a little cold in her heart. After the knife seller appeared once last time, he disappeared again. What are the tricks here?
However, he couldn't think much about it at the moment, and just wanted to kill Li Yuan before the imperial edict arrived.
Whoever becomes the left-behind Taiyuan is going to kill whoever he can become! Rights make people crazy and temporarily ignore more crises.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone started singing and dancing. Gao Junya spent a lot of effort on this banquet, and the singers invited were all famous in Taiyuan City. For a time, they were red, fat, green, thin, and sang and danced lightly, which attracted too many people's attention.
Xiao Buyi looked over high, and saw Li Yuan stretching his neck out from time to time to talk to Liu Zhenghui, watching the song and dance with interest, pointing and pointing out. From the outside, Li Yuan even felt a little lustful. Xiao Buyi couldn't help but sigh when he saw it. Li Yuan was very cautious at all times, and kept winning over the backbone of the lower classes of the clans and pretending to be stupid is also awesome.
The singing and dancing became more and more anxious. When he was drinking hard, Li Yuan suddenly frowned and looked at the cup.
This action was extremely subtle, but Gao Junya felt awe-inspiring in her heart and coughed softly.
A small insect fell into Li Yuan's wine glass. Li Yuan stopped drinking and looked up at the roof. The music tightened, and a "click" sound broke out in a flash. A man covered his black scarf and rushed down, with a long sword in his hand thrust into Li Yuan!
Most of the people were still unclear, but Gao Junya's face changed drastically and she shouted loudly: "There is an assassin!"
He said that when there was an assassin, he had already blocked Xiao Buyi's front as soon as possible. The assassin stabbed Li Yuan's arm with a sword, and blood burst out.
Li Yuan looked lonely and rolled backwards, shouting loudly: "Help!"
Xiao Buyi stood up suddenly. Without waiting for any action, a group of people were already surrounded in front of him. Murong Luohu, Wang Wei, and Gao Junya were all blocking Xiao Buyi's side without permission, and were fully alert.
"Don't be caught in the assassin's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain to protect General Xiao." Wang Wei shouted.
Everyone guarded Xiao Buyi, but the assassin chased Li Yuan like a tiger from the mountain. After Li Yuan was hit by a sword, he did not resist, but just crawled from one table to another. Although he was not young, he was not slow to run when he ran away. The assassin was agile, like a cheetah and ahawk. He could not kill him while he was hiding from the east and west.
Xiao Buyi was blocked by everyone and could not see the excitement, but he still remembered that he could not just watch the excitement, and shouted loudly: "Protect Lord Li and arrest the assassin."
Liu Zhenghui was the first to react and picked up the table and smashed it at the assassin.
He is Sima of Yingyang Mansion. He looks like a teacher. He throws the table table hard and is also full of vigor.
The rest of the people wanted to rush out to help, but they felt that their friendship with Li Yuan was not worth fighting so hard, so they could not help but hesitate.
The assassin broke the table with a punch and kicked it away. No matter Liu Zhenghui, he still stabbed Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was in a mess, his body was covered in juice and blood, but his movements were not hindered. Another fish jumped under another table.
Gao Junya couldn't help but secretly regret stomping her feet. This Li Yuan is not ordinary shameless. Even if she runs for life, it will make people want to scold her.
The assassin had tried his best, but in a hurry, he could do nothing to Li Yuan. There was a lot of noise on the Dingsheng Tower, and the singers danced, but the soldiers finally rushed upstairs.
Gao Junya felt Xiao Buyi's burning gaze at her back, knowing that she could no longer delay, and ordered: "Catch the assassin!"
The soldier suddenly stepped forward and surrounded the assassin. The assassin turned his back to the pillar and was not afraid of the soldiers. Except for Liu Zhenghui, everyone present felt a pity and thought that Li Yuan was very lucky and would not kill him. He thought that the assassin could never escape under the siege of the soldiers, but he did not expect that he would take two steps, lightly rise, and step on the pillar and move up three steps. When he was about to fall, his arm was rushing and his sword pierced the wooden pillar in the restaurant.
As the sword was slightly bent, the man rose up again and had already reached out to rest on the beam on the roof.
The soldiers were stunned, not expecting that the ape-like agility would not have time to stop it. Xiao Buyi suddenly shouted, "Stay."
He shouted, and with a 'kick' in his hand, the wine glass he was holding had broken into several pieces.
His arm swung rapidly, turned into a few shadows and hit it out. The assassin had no time to dodge, and the debris of the wine glass hit the shoulder and the thigh, and blood dripped in the air.
The assassin was also fierce, not humming, and went straight to the crossbar and drilled out of the hole on the roof. He disappeared again.
All the officials were shocked and their eyes were full of fear, because they heard that Xiao Buyi was invincible. Moreover, Xiao Buyi was circulated in the government and the government.
The number one master of Li Xuanba thought he was very good at kung fu, and he couldn't resist such skills.
In a blink of an eye, everyone had doubts and thought that with Xiao Buyi's martial arts, if they took action, Li Yuan would not be so embarrassed. However, he kept hiding behind everyone to watch the show. Could it be that the assassin was sent by Xiao Buyi?
This is also very likely, just because no one thinks that the power is too great. Xiao Buyi is now in Shanxi and naturally wants to take over the big things. He seems to have no concerns about the Taiyuan left behind, so he may have been staring at this position a long time ago.
Gao Junya stomped her feet in a hurry and cursed: "A bunch of useless wastes, why don't you chase after me?"
The soldiers did not have such a light-hearted ability, so they could only run out of the building, wanting to see where the assassin ran from the roof. When they turned around, they said in fear: "Master Gao, the assassin no longer knows where he is."
Gao Junya kicked the soldiers who reported back and said angrily: "It's useless to raise you bunch of waste. Go and check Dingsheng Tower in detail to see if there are still assassins hidden inside. The whole city is martial law, and people who leave the city are strictly investigated. The assassin is injured on the shoulders and thighs. You can check it carefully and be sure to arrest the assassin."
When he turned around, Gao Junya bowed and said, "General Xiao, his subordinates are incompetent, please forgive me."
Xiao Buyi sighed, "Everyone has done his best, why are you guilty?"
After walking a few steps, Xiao Buyi came to a table, overturned the table, and apologized to Li Yuan under the table, "Mr. Li, the assassin has left, please come out and talk."
Li Yuan's head was like a bowl of chowder noodles, and his whole body was trembling in pain, "General Xiao, the rescue of the subordinates is not good, please forgive me."
Everyone looked at each other and could only sigh that the assassin wanted to kill Li Yuan, but it was really a stareless person. Who would like to kill him like this incompetent person?
Gao Junya felt a little depressed when she saw Li Yuan's embarrassment. She felt that Hongji was not as clever as she thought. She just thought that if she was present to kill Li Yuan, she would have no choice but to such people who apply oil on the soles.
Xiao Buyi reached out to help Li Yuan up and sighed: "Mr. Li still remembers me in such a crisis, how can I not move me? Why are you still standing there and not going to invite the imperial physician?"
The imperial physician was not yet, Xiao Buyi did not bother greasy, and he brushed the dishes on Li Yuan's body with his own hands, checked his injuries, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I haven't moved my muscles yet, but Lord Li, what enemy do you have that people are chasing me to this point?"
Old Li Yuan's eyes were filled with tears, moved and puzzled, "General Xiao, I have always been loyal to the country, and I don't understand who would kill me."
"Can it be a man-killing?" Wang Wei suddenly said: "This person may want to kill Lord Xiao, but he just saw that Lord Xiao was on high alert, so he changed his target and wanted to attack the east and west?"
Xiao Buyi was stern, "What Mr. Wang said makes sense, but who else wants to kill me?"
Wang Wei's face turned pale and said after a while: "General Xiao won every battle. Although he made great achievements for the Sui Dynasty, he was considered a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh. This assassin may not be the remnant of Li Shanfei."
Xiao Buyi said furiously: "These bandits don't take me seriously, come here!"
"I'm here." Sun Shaofang rushed upstairs early.
Xiao Buyi said angrily: "Sun Shaofang, you will lead the elite soldiers of the Right Guard Mansion to search Taiyuan City and look for people with wounded shoulders and thighs. If you resist, you will be killed without any consequences."
"Yes." Sun Shaofang obeyed the order with stern eyes.
Xiao Buyi suddenly said, "Let's wait."
"What else do you have to give me?"
"Don't disturb the people." Xiao Buyi said with sympathy.
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that if they didn't disturb the people's search, how could they catch the thief? Lord Xiao's performance was really bad. Ninety percent of those who were still a little suspicious must have been sent by Xiao Buyi. But why did he hurt the assassin? It was probably because of his bitter plan.
**
After Xiao Buyi ordered the soldiers, the imperial physician finally arrived and helped Li Yuan heal his wounds and bandaged him carefully.
The assassin stabbed Li Yuan's arm with a sword, but the injury was not serious. After seeing that the bandage was safe, Xiao Buyi personally helped Li Yuan up and said, "Mr. Li, whether you are suffering from unrestrained disasters or not, I will definitely send you back in person this time. Lord Li is waiting at home, and I will try my best to catch the assassin. Give me an explanation to Lord Li."
Li Yuan was moved and tears flowed, "General Xiao is really serious. Let's not talk about me for now. If the assassin really wants to assassinate General Xiao, it is also a honor for me to be able to block a sword for you."
Others wanted to vomit, but the two involved felt good. The banquet reached this level, and no one was in the mood to eat it anymore. But before everyone left, the horse hooves downstairs were loudly sounded. A group of people had already arrived upstairs under the escort of the military guards and shouted loudly: "Duke of Tang Li Yuan received the order."
Li Yuan knelt in a hurry, "I will accept the order."
"I heard that Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, made great contributions to suppressing bandits in Shanxi. He first pacified Wu Duaner, then attacked Lishanfei, and also helped to rescue the chariot in Yanmen. He specially granted the title of Taiyuan's remaining position and took office today. I respect this!"
Li Yuan shouted long live, and went forward to answer the order. His face was not wiped clean, and his face looked red.
Everyone sighed and hated each other. Gao Junya was particularly frightened, but he was the first to come forward and laughed: "Mr. Li, I have long said that the position left behind is the master. Now everyone is looking for it, which is really gratifying."
"Good luck is a disaster," Wang Wei shook his head and said, "It turns out that it is Lord Li's bloody disaster today, but it means that his official career will be prosperous, and even the officials can't help but want to get a sword."
Wang Wei and Gao Junya were originally deputy subordinates in Taiyuan, and were similar to Li Yuan’s official position. Now she became a deputy, and she could not help but feel a little sour when speaking.
Liu Zhenghui did not slap, but retreated aside. Murong Luo's fists were clenched in secret, quite dissatisfied. Xiao Buyi watched coldly, and saw the various emotions of all living beings, smiling and silent.
Li Yuan greeted two new subordinates and immediately looked at Xiao Buyi and said, "General Xiao, actually this is the position left by Taiyuan..."
"Mr. Li deserves it." Xiao Buyi cut off and said, "I want to congratulate Lord Li too."
Li Yuan was frowning, not like promotion, but like being exiled. Before everyone could congratulate him, there was another loud sound of hooves downstairs. Another incident roommate hurried upstairs and said loudly: "The General Xiao Buyi of the Right Guard received the order."
Xiao Buyi was stunned and said, "I am here."
"I heard that Xiao Buyi made great contributions to quelling the rebellion. He was the only one who returned to Kyoto to meet the saints before the New Year. I admire this."
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of the emperor. Xiao Buyi frowned and said nothing. The servant of the public affairs packed up the imperial edict and handed it to Xiao Buyi, and said with a smile: "General Xiao, you are the only general who can have a face of holy glory now. It is really gratifying."
"Can the Lord let me turn around immediately?"
