Chapter 197: The Black Pot Ma Lie
It was rare that Cheng Huaibi didn't cough again, but the more solemn he was, the more anxious Tang Guan was. When Tang Guan heard his question, he opened his mouth, and then shook his head with a frightened expression.
Said: "I don't know. I'm dead. I don't know anything."
Seeing Tang Guan's reaction, Cheng Huaibi's eyelids twitched and he continued to ask: "Xiao Langjun, this matter is of great importance. Your Majesty is on one side. Please tell the truth. The young general will risk his life to help you get this."
Help eliminate the thieves!"
"I don't know!" Tang Guan shouted, and Cheng Huaibi's expression changed.
"That's enough! Get out!"
When Wu Zhao saw Tang Guan losing his composure, he didn't know whether it was because he felt distressed or had some thoughts, but he also scolded Cheng Huaibi.
When Cheng Huaibi saw this, he said nothing more and cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to leave."
After saying that, he glanced at Chang Ying again, then turned and left.
After he went out, Wu Zhao whispered to Tang Guan: "Sick man, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid."
Tang Guan heard this and said: "Your Majesty, Wan'er is her" [
"You don't need to say anything." Before he could say anything, Wu Zhao interrupted, then shook his head and said, "I didn't expect this little girl to be somewhat loyal."
If Wu Zhao meant what he said, the look he looked at Tang Guan was also quite playful. In fact, Shangguan Wan'er was just a slave in Wu Zhao's eyes. Since Tang Guan had been given away, it didn't matter whether Tang Guan had feelings for her or not.
, can't make much waves.
Tang Guan really didn't have the energy to quarrel with Wu Zhao at this moment. If Shangguan Wan'er really died because of him, even if he really wanted to live alone, he would probably have a huge regret in this life.
Wrong judgment and affirmation caused regret at this time, but regret was useless. After Tang Guan was interrupted by Wu Zhao, he immediately said: "I want to see her."
When Wu Zhao heard this, he remained silent. He stared at Tang Guan for a long time and then sighed softly: "Go ahead."
She knew that this might be the last time these two young people would see each other.
Upon hearing this, Tang Guan slightly cupped his hands and clenched his teeth to move his body out of bed. He had regained some strength after waking up, but the severe pain in his limbs and bones still made it difficult for him to move.
Chang Ying, who had been burying his head on the ground, seemed to have noticed Tang Guan's difficulty, and subconsciously wanted to help him, but because Wu Zhao was by his side, he endured it.
Wu Zhao was confused when he saw Tang Guan's appearance. He had already had it checked by the accompanying medical officer when he came. Tang Guan had no new injuries except for the flesh injuries he had suffered when he was accidentally stricken in the palace a few days ago. However, seeing that he was now
He looked like he was seriously injured.
Seeing Tang Guan struggling, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to help him up. Tang Guan whispered: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wu Zhao frowned, but did not ask out loud. After all, Tang Guan was in the aftermath of a disaster, and any reaction was normal. It was rare to be able to behave in such a moment.
"Guard Chang, why are you still kneeling? Why don't you help me quickly?"
Wu Zhao saw Tang Guan swaying and spoke to Chang Ying on the ground. Upon hearing this, Chang Ying hurriedly stood up and supported Tang Guan.
Tang Guan walked into the threshold with the support of Chang Ying, but was stopped again.
"Wait a moment."[
The two of them stopped and heard Wu Zhao say from behind: "Chang Wei, please stay here first. I have something to ask."
Chang Ying's expression changed when he heard this, and he secretly looked at Tang Guan, but what was different from the past was that Tang Guan didn't give him any sign at this time, but stared at the other side of the corridor who was surrounded by a group of old men.
Room.
Standing here, you could vaguely hear them talking incessantly. Seeing this, Chang Ying had no choice but to let go of his hand and walked back bravely. Tang Guan did not stop because of the lack of him. He actually held on to the wall and walked slowly away.
go out.
For a time, only Chang Ying and Wu Zhao were left in the room. After Tang Guan walked out, Wu Zhao's face instantly cooled. She first glanced at Chang Ying coldly, and then said: "I call you Chang Wei.
It’s because the sick man has great trust in you.”
"The last general deserves to die!" Chang Ying heard this and his body shook violently. He fell to the ground with a dunk. He was not afraid of what Wu Zhao would do to him. In fact, it can be seen from the previous events that Chang Ying was a dedicated soldier. On the Jiangnan River,
Even in critical moments of life and death, I never thought of escaping.
It can be seen that he is very qualified in terms of performing his duties, but in this assassination, he made a fatal and low-level mistake, which led to the current situation. Shangguan Wan'er's life and death were uncertain, and Tang Guan's surname changed drastically.
I have to say that the Tang Sect's assassination seemed extremely hasty. In fact, there were subtleties in the roughness. First, it was an attack in the east and in the west, and then it caused the tiger to leave the mountain, and it happened at the time of a sudden change in the sky. It was really a terrible scene.
All this happened so suddenly, accompanied by a violent storm. When Chang Ying realized his mistake, he had already tasted the bitter consequences.
It wasn't just him, Tang Guan was not the same, but his mistakes and bitter consequences were buried deeper and lasted longer. Tang Guan affirmed himself again and again and turned against himself again and again. When he felt that his will was as strong as iron, even others did not.
When he feels this way, an unavoidable blow, or an omission or mistake will often put him in dire straits.
This is also the tragedy of people like Tang Guan. No matter whether it is external comments or self-examination, he is not allowed to make any mistakes. However, as long as he is a human being, he is bound to make mistakes. This is what we have said many times, the ultimate goal of all things is
Terrible weaknesses are often hidden beneath your strongest strengths.
Maybe the previous examples are not clear enough, but I want everyone to understand how accurate this statement is after seeing this. Tang Guan's strongest point is to rely on various impressions to make constant calculations, but his calculations can only be made wrong.
One link, even one detail, and everything will collapse.
So he kept repeating the same mistakes, and then looked at everything from a new perspective, but all of this came with a price. Sometimes the price would be smaller and within the tolerance, but sometimes it would make Tang Guan unable to recover.
The price is just like the Shangguan Wan'er whom he left out, a girl who actually only needed a little happiness to be satisfied.
Her happiness may just be to squint her eyes and sleep for a while, or it may be that someone can tolerate her to laugh and cry, but Tang Guan did not give it to her.
The same goes for Chang Ying. He was too obsessed with his own force. When he was attacked and lured away by people from the Tang Sect, he thought he could quickly subdue the assassins, but he didn't expect that the other party had already laid out everything. When he returned with success,
You can only accept the bitter consequences.
Chang Ying knelt on the ground and shouted that he should die. Yes, he blamed himself very much now, but he didn't have much fear. Death was a common occurrence for people like him. It was an unexpected joy to be alive until now, but as a person
For soldiers who are committed to their duties, it would be a huge shame to have the objects they protect damaged.
What's more, the relationship between Tang Guan and him is not as simple as employer and employee. It can be said that every time Tang Guan calls "big brother", it is natural, and he can sense that Tang Guan trusts him.
But the more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself. If he were here, even if the opponent was a master of martial arts, he would not be without the power to fight back. After all, he was not frightened. He could survive among thousands of troops.
Come down, let alone only a dozen people.
But this is the weakness we mentioned above. Chang Ying has not realized his obsession with his own force until now.
Wu Zhao looked coldly at Chang Ying on the ground, and after a long time he said, "Go and call General Cheng."
"Yes." Chang Ying heard the words without any doubts and immediately obeyed. He stood up and walked to the courtyard. As soon as he walked out, he immediately looked towards the corridor.
I saw a young man on the corridor gritting his teeth and supporting the wall and walking step by step towards the room on the other side. Chang Ying looked at his stubborn eyes and slow steps and immediately wanted to step forward to help, but finally stopped and walked to the courtyard.
In the middle, he said to Cheng Huaibi who was observing the corpse: "General Cheng, your Majesty calls you in."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Huaibi glanced at Chang Ying, shook his head and smiled, and then walked towards the room. Upon seeing this, Chang Ying followed closely, and the two returned to the room after a while.
Cheng Huaibi was kicked out one moment and summoned again the next, but he seemed to have expected it and was not surprised at all.
Wu Zhao looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Chang Ying, go ahead and tell me everything about the past."
Chang Ying was stunned when he heard this. Before he could speak, Cheng Huaibi stepped forward and murmured a few words to Wu Zhao. Chang Ying stopped talking and saw Wu Zhao gently nodding. Cheng Huaibi, who had just entered the room, unexpectedly
Withdrew.
Just when Chang Ying was a little confused about what to do, Cheng Huaibi turned back for a moment, but this time he entered the room carrying a dead body upside down.
Chang Ying was shocked when he saw this. He realized that he had been deceived and had seen these corpses when he returned to his house. However, he did not check carefully in his panic at that time. After confirming that Tang Guan survived, he immediately went to the palace for help.
Cheng Huaibi dragged the body into the room, not knowing what he meant, and threw it in front of Chang Ying and said: "Chang Guard, you are also a martial artist. Well, take a look at this man's injuries."
Chang Ying was surprised when he heard this and said: "Yes, the last general has taken the order."
Immediately, Chang Ying squatted down, just like Cheng Huaibi inspected the corpse before. He first touched the corpse's chest with his hand, and then held the other person's wrist. After completing these two actions, Chang Ying suddenly opened his eyes wide and said slowly
