The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the figures are sneaky.
Fu Shiren tiptoed and carried the grass to a corner of the camp. He wanted to dig up the secrets buried by Lu Meng, but Xiang Xun's words did not move him because his wife and children were all resettled in Jianye.
If Fu Shiren really assassinates Lu Meng, then he will be no different from Ma Chao, and he will soon receive a gift package of having his whole family beheaded.
Fu Shiren is now nearly fifty years old. Even if he returns to Liu Bei's tent, he will not have much to live alone in the rest of his life, so he wants to find something to do with Lu Meng.
With the handle, he can negotiate terms with Lu Meng. This is the only way Fu Shiren can think of to change the status quo.
The past few days of siege were extremely tiring, and Fu Shiren hung out in front of the battle every day. At night, he was more energetic than ordinary people. During his rest, he found the location where the secret was buried, and finally got his chance that night.
Lü Meng buried Han Dang privately because he was dedicated to serving the public good. He did not want to affect the morale of the army during the siege.
After all, Han Dang's skills were inferior and he was killed by the formation. Even if he went to Sun Quan's place, it had nothing to do with Lu Meng, but Fu Shiren would have got it wrong.
Because time was tight for burying the body that night, Handang's grave was dug relatively shallow.
Fu Shiren waved the blade and dug for a while, then revealed his familiar armor.
It turned out to be the general's armor? And it looked particularly familiar. Fu Shiren squatted down and pulled out the soil with his hands, and soon saw Han Dang's pale face.
"This fellow Lu Meng is so bold." Fu Shiren was so shocked that he collapsed on the ground, sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Who is it?"
The voice coming from behind was like a demonic voice from hell to Fu Shiren, because it was coming from the Grand Governor Lu Meng.
A clanging sound.
Fu Shiren turned around and drew his sword. He suppressed the panic in his heart and shouted sternly: "Lu Meng, you are so brave, you actually killed General Han and hid his body here."
At this time, the moon happened to be hidden behind the dark clouds, and Lu Meng heard Fu Shiren's voice in the darkness.
Lu Meng sneered: "Fu Shiren, have you lost your mind and gone crazy? General Han died in battle, what do you want to do if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Lu Meng was at his camp and found that the man's back did not look like an assassin, so he didn't even bring any personal guards with him while patrolling the camp.
"Died in battle? Why bury it secretly? I can help you hide this matter, and even cover it for you, but you must bring my family to Jiangxia, otherwise I will make this matter public."
After Fu Shiren finished speaking, he became more and more calm, thinking that this secret was not a big deal. Han Dang had a high prestige in the army and had many old subordinates. He thought that Lu Meng would definitely throw the enemy into the trap.
"Whose order was it to bring your family to Jianye? Do you really have no idea? Are you planning to threaten me for no reason? Are you really being incited to rebel by Xiang Xun?"
Lu Meng kept asking questions and finally gave Fu Shiren a hat.
The moonlight shone on the earth again, and Lu Meng stood there with a disdainful expression on his face, not paying attention to Fu Shiren at all.
"Lu Meng, don't talk nonsense. I don't care whose instructions it is, so I'm just asking if you can do it for me?"
Fu Shiren held the hilt of the sword tightly. When the sword was unsheathed just now, he had already lost his escape route. Even if he made a mistake, he had to make the mistake.
Lu Meng snorted coldly: "Do you really think of yourself as a person? How dare you point a sword at Shangguan? Do you not know how to write the word "death"? Forget about your wife and children."
"Bastard, I've tolerated you for a long time, now I'm going to kill the traitor on behalf of my lord."
When Fu Shiren heard that Lu Meng was threatening his family again, he suddenly turned evil toward Dan Bian and rushed over with his sword angrily.
"How dare you, useless person." Lu Meng quickly drew his sword to block it.
Clang, clang, clang, the collision of gold and iron makes a sound.
The two of them were going back and forth, hacking at each other like enemies.
Fu Shiren burned his sword in anger, and Lu Meng became angrier as he fought, thinking that this man was so impudent.
The sound of the two fighting became louder and louder, breaking the tranquility of the night.
The sleeping soldiers in the camp thought that the enemy was hijacking the camp. They put on their clothes and rushed out of the tent. When they came out, they saw a strange scene.
The governor of Jiangxia was fighting with their chief governor, and soon the two men were surrounded by soldiers. For a moment, everyone forgot to stop the fight.
"Lu Meng has killed General Han, please follow me and kill the traitors quickly." Fu Shiren shouted while beating him.
Lu Meng moved forward with force, blocking the sword in Fu Shiren's hand, and then laughed wildly: "You are so naive, you don't care about whose territory this is? You are looking for death."
"Captain, be careful." A follower next to him exclaimed.
Lu Meng was a little carried away when he laughed, but the opponent's attack would not stop there.
With his own people surrounding him, Lu Meng laughed and distracted for a brief moment when Fu Shiren swung his sword and struck again.
Lu Meng accidentally used his left hand to block it, and the sharp blade quickly passed through his palm.
There was a flash of cold light and blood splattered.
Half of the palm of Lu Meng's left hand was cut off in an instant. Only the index finger and thumb were connected to the arm. The remaining half of the palm was not completely cut off. The thin layer of skin on the back of the hand pulled the broken palm.
"ah..."
Lu Meng screamed and retracted his left arm. Severe pain instantly filled his brain. He struggled to hold the sword across his chest with his right hand to prevent Fu Shiren's next fatal attack.
The sleepy soldiers were already energized by the smell of blood. They drew their swords one after another to block Fu Shiren's path.
This 'warrior' who fought for his wife and children was quickly disarmed and controlled by the soldiers, and then had his hands tied and pinned to the ground.
"Grand Governor, how should we handle this?" Supervisor Gu Li asked in astonishment.
"The following offenders will be beheaded on the spot."
The wound on Lu Meng's palm was bleeding profusely, and his expression was already very bad.
"I don't accept... Gu Jianjun, Lu Meng killed General Han. I am here to hoe the traitor for my lord."
Fu Shiren was pushed to his knees by two strong men, and he raised his head with difficulty to defend himself.
"This..." Gu Li didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
Lu Meng clenched his left wrist with his right hand to prevent the blood from oozing out. Then he looked at Gu Li and said with difficulty: "Fu Shiren killed General Han and was burying the body just now. I happened to see him and wanted to bite him back. Do you still want to bite me?"
Don’t believe me?”
Gu Li was a close confidant of Sun Quan, and he believed that Lü Meng was naturally superior to Fu Shiren.
"No...no...Lu Meng is confusing right and wrong..." Fu Shiren was extremely frightened.
"Then what's the explanation for the mud on your feet? Attacking a Shangguan is also a capital offense." Gu Li pointed at Fu Shiren and yelled at Fu Shiren with his muddy hands.
"This is... I'm not... It's really not..." Fu Shiren felt like he was full of words and couldn't explain it.
Gu Li cupped his fists and saluted Lu Meng: "Grand Governor, how do you think we should deal with it?"
"Dismember the body with random knives."
After Lü Meng finished speaking, he lost too much blood and fainted. Because Sun Quan did not give him the discipline, he did not have the right to kill the general in battle, and the power of disposal was in the hands of Gu Li.
"Gu Jianjun, you have to believe...believe me..." Fu Shiren looked horrified.
"The swordsman and axehand will be executed immediately according to the request of the governor." Gu Li's heartless words announced the end of Fu Shiren's life.
When several of Lu Meng's followers heard the sound, they started to greet Fu Shiren like chopping melons and vegetables. The governor of Jiangxia soon became a piece of rotten meat.
Lu Meng lost a lot of blood due to his injury. He was bandaged and given medicine by the army doctor, and he didn't wake up until noon the next day.
"What time is it now? Are there any plans to attack the city today?" Lu Meng shouted while lying in the tent.
Gu Li, the supervisor, almost jumped for joy when he saw Lu Meng wake up. He quickly replied: "It's already three o'clock. Because the chief governor was injured, he did not continue to attack the city."
Lu Meng's left hand was broken and could not be connected. It was cut off and wrapped into a big pancake shape. He used his right hand to tear off the white cloth that was used to cool down his forehead. Then he sat up and said anxiously: "Arrange the siege with me quickly. Jiangling is almost here."
We can't hold on any longer, we can't give Xiang Xun a chance to breathe, how can we abandon important national affairs because of my minor illness?"
"Uh..." Gu Lixin said that I was just supervising the army, so don't tell me about dispatching troops and generals.
