Liu Yan was lying on the bed, dying and mentally depressed. His face was wrinkled like old tree bark, pale and weak, and his whole person looked like a dead person crawling out of a coffin. However, Liu Yan breathed slightly, and from time to time
The blinking eyes showed that Liu Yan was still breathing. At this time, Liu Yan was not only physically injured, but also mentally injured to the extreme.
Liu Mao's death left Liu Yan depressed.
Not only is the white-haired person giving away the black-haired person, but also the death of the favorite heir.
Over the past few days, a lot of the silver hair on Liu Yan's head had fallen out, and it was now very sparse and tied with a silver ribbon. Liu Yan thought about the tragic situation before Liu Hao's death, and his teeth itched with hatred, and his withered hands clenched tightly.
He clenched his fist into a fist, wishing to kill all the Taoists who were performing the ritual that day.
On the same day, Liu Yan invited the Taoist priest into the house. On the one hand, he prayed for Liu Mao to drive away evil spirits. On the other hand, Liu Yan looked at the layout of the prefecture and Mu's house so that he could make corrections. The Taoist brought nine people wearing Taoist robes with him.
Taking advantage of the power given by Liu Yan, people shuttled around the house, nominally correcting the layout of the Prefectural Mufu House, but secretly preparing an escape route. After investigating the situation, ten people began to pray for Liu Hao to exorcise evil spirits, delaying time.
Throughout the whole day, the most basic rituals were not completed and had to be continued the next day.
Therefore, all ten Taoists stayed at the Zhou Mu Mansion.
It was dark and murderous night. Under the cover of night, ten Taoists dressed in black walked quietly through the house. Because they had figured out the basic situation of the house during the day, the ten men easily entered Liu Hao's room and killed Liu Hao.
.When a group of people rushed to Liu Yan's room, they happened to encounter Liu Yan getting up at night, and at the same time, Liu Mao was found dead. The ten people's whereabouts were leaked, so they had to try their best to assassinate Liu Yan, but they only seriously injured Liu Yan.
, there is no chance to kill Liu Yan.
Even if a retreat was found during the day, two people would still die when retreating.
Liu Yan was furious when such a thing happened, but Zhao Wei, the instigator, was frightened.
At this time, Zhao Wei was no longer the hero who saved Liu Yan, but the sinner who caused Liu Yan's serious injury and Liu Hao's death.
Even though Liu Yan didn't blame him, he rushed to the prefecture's pastoral office as soon as possible to plead guilty to Liu Yan. The cause of the incident was because of his words, which caused Liu Yan to be seriously injured and Liu Hao to die. At this time, Zhao Wei did not take the initiative
Asking for forgiveness would probably make Liu Yan suspicious of him. However, it was not Zhao Wei's fault, so he felt very unjust.
I had good intentions, but things turned into a mess.
Liu Yan left the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion for "fishing", and he was very happy to finally kill Ma Xiang's remnants.
However, Liu Yan was not excited at all now, but filled with anger in his chest.
There were only Zhao Wei and Liu Yan in the room. Zhao Wei was lying on the ground, not daring to breathe. His left shoulder was still wrapped in layers of white cloth. There were dots of bright red on the white cloth, which was obviously dyed red by blood.
Zhao Wei knelt his head on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The catastrophe that happened to my lord was all because Zhao Wei didn't know the person well, which led to the death of Mr. Mao and the assassination of the lord. Although Wei was loyal to the lord, it was because of Zhao Wei's persuasion to the lord.
This kind of thing will happen. It is unavoidable that Wei Wan died, so please forgive me, my lord."
When speaking, Zhao Wei's voice was choked and his eyes were red.
Drops of crystal tears flowed from his eyes and fell to the ground.
In that scene, it seemed that Zhao Wei was mourning Liu Hao's death and felt sorry for Liu Hao.
In fact, Zhao Wei is also a smart man. He understands that something like this happened, and if he shirks responsibility, he may be killed by the furious Liu Yan. Instead of doing this, it is better to retreat in order to advance, take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and apologize to Liu Yan.
When he was lying on the ground talking, his shoulders kept shaking, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a little bit of red oozed from his left shoulder. It was obvious that the wound was bleeding continuously and dyed the white cloth red. At the same time, the severe pain in the wound also
It made Zhao Wei's body tremble.
"You deserve to die. If it weren't for you, Mao'er wouldn't have died!"
Liu Yan's voice was low and hoarse, conveying a desolate tone.
However, when Liu Yan said these words, Zhao Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
From this sentence, Zhao Wei could guess that Liu Yan had no intention of killing him. However, Zhao Wei was still lying on the ground, regardless of the injury on his shoulder, waiting for Liu Yan to die. After kneeling on the ground for a long time, the wound on his shoulder
The wound opened, and soon the white cloth wrapped around the shoulder was stained red.
Liu Yan glanced at Zhao Wei and sighed in his heart when he saw the bright red on Zhao Wei's left shoulder.
Immediately, he hissed: "Get up!"
"promise!"
Zhao Wei bowed to Liu Yan three more times, then slowly stood up and stood respectfully beside Liu Yan. When he was kneeling on the ground waiting for Liu Yan to punish him, Zhao Wei only felt unbearable pain in his shoulder.
But he felt a heartbreaking pain coming from his shoulder, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch and his body to sway slightly.
"Zhao Wei!"
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"I will give you one thing. You are required to lead troops to destroy all Taoist temples in Chengdu within three days. No matter what Taoist temple they are in, kill them all without leaving a single one behind. These Taoist priests are the ones who will be buried with Mao'er.
Gu wants everyone to know that not everyone can withstand Gu's anger. At the same time, you will immediately spread the portraits of ten Taoists throughout Yizhou. Anyone who discovers them will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold and be made a thousand households. Anyone who arrests the Taoists will be rewarded.
People come to see the orphans with their heads in hand, and are rewarded with tens of thousands of gold coins and granted the title of marquis of ten thousand households."
"promise!"
Zhao Wei nodded and dragged the sick body away.
Within three days, killings broke out all over Chengdu. Countless Taoist priests in Taoist temples suffered unreasonable disasters.
Of course, Taoist temples may also be allowed to be slaughtered by Zhao Wei. Each Taoist temple has considerable power. Every time a Taoist temple is annihilated, Liu Yan's troops will be consumed. After killing one after another, although the Taoist temples in Chengdu were annihilated, it also left
Liu Yan's forces lost two-tenths, which was all caused by the resistance of the Taoists in the Taoist temple.
At the same time, Liu Yan's order was quickly conveyed.
Countless people were extremely excited and began to search for the assassins of Liu Yan and Liu Hao. However, the eight people who escaped had changed their clothes and returned to Hanzhong, making Liu Yan's arrest plan a failure.
Three days later, after Zhao Wei completed his order, he slaughtered all the Taoist temples in Chengdu.
Carrying his tired and wounded body, he returned to the Prefecture Mufu and met Liu Yan.
Liu Yan asked directly: "How did things get done?"
Zhao Wei stood aside and said respectfully: "Reporting to my lord, there are no more Taoist priests in Chengdu, and all Taoist temples have been burned to the ground."
"Haha... Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Liu Yan laughed loudly, a look of pleasure appeared on his wrinkled old face.
When he moved his body, the wound on his lower abdomen was caused, and when he was excited, he coughed and his body kept shaking. A trace of scarlet blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and Zhao Wei was so frightened that he hurriedly walked to Liu Yan
Beside him, he smoothed Liu Yan's breath and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe away the blood from the corners of Liu Yan's mouth.
After a while, Liu Yan's restless mood calmed down. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Zhao Wei, increase your efforts to search for the murderer. Even if you scrape the ground three feet, you still have to find a few people. I want to
Let these eight people be unable to live or die, and even if they die, they will not be able to live in peace."
At the end of the sentence, the words almost came out from between the teeth.
"promise!"
Zhao Wei thought for a while and then said: "My lord, Mr. Mao is dead and there is no successor in Yizhou. I also ask my lord to send someone to Chang'an to pick up a young man and stabilize the situation in Yizhou to avoid being taken advantage of by Wang Can's son."
"Well, what you said makes sense. If Mao'er dies, Yizhou cannot be left without an heir."
Liu Yan's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Wang Can'er is tired of dealing with Gu's army. He wishes he could get out of the civil strife in Yizhou. At this time, Wang Can'er should be very happy. Huh, as long as Lingbao is defeated
Deng Zheng led his troops to approach Hanzhong, and Yan Yan led his troops to attack Nanzheng from Baocheng. Then another army suddenly came out and went straight to Nanzheng. The three armies surrounded them. Wang Can must have been very happy.
Woke up."
As Liu Yan spoke, there was a crazy look in his eyes.
At this time, Liu Yan had completely lost his mind, otherwise he would not have sent people to massacre the Taoist temples in Chengdu.
Each Taoist temple has its own incense and its own believers.
Liu Yan sent Zhao Wei to massacre the Taoist temples in Chengdu, which aroused public anger and made Liu Yan a tyrant among the people, and a state pastor who did not care about the people's lives. However, Liu Yan could not control so much, he thought
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Zhao Wei, which one of the eldest son Fan, the second son Dan, and the fourth son Zhang is suitable to take over as the lord of Yizhou?"
Zhao Wei wanted to say that Liu Zhang was suitable because Liu Zhang was young and suitable for control, but Zhao Wei did not answer.
The heir to Yizhou belonged to Liu Yan's family affairs, and Zhao Wei did not dare to interfere.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Wei said: "The eldest son Liu Fan is well-educated, intelligent and agile; the second son Liu Dan has outstanding abilities and is outstanding; the fourth son Liu Zhang is generous and honest and has an extraordinary temperament. The four of them are dragons among men and are all very outstanding.
It is difficult to choose who is more qualified to be the heir. Lord Qiangang is decisive and has a keen eye for people, so he will be able to select the most suitable son to inherit Yizhou. No matter which son he is, Wei Ding will do his best to assist the heir and stabilize Yizhou."
Liu Yan smiled and nodded. In fact, only the last sentence of Zhao Wei's words made Liu Yan happy.
What Liu Yan was most afraid of was that Zhao Wei would have a relationship with a certain son, which would be contrary to the heir he proposed, so he tested Zhao Wei. Now Zhao Wei said that no matter who he was, he would wholeheartedly assist the heir he established, which was the most suitable one.
Liu Yan's thoughts.
After a pause, Liu Yan said: "The fourth son, Liu Zhang, is generous, kind, well-educated, and has a reputation as a virtuous man. Gu believes that he is the most suitable to take over as the pastor of Yizhou and become the lord of Yizhou. You immediately send someone to Chang'an to ask for an audience with the emperor and tell Gu San
His son Liu Mao died in infancy and he had no children, so he asked his fourth son Liu Zhang to return to Yizhou so that he could enjoy the happiness of his old age." In the final analysis, Liu Yan felt sorry for his youngest son.
"No! I'll remember it."
"Is there any message from Yan Yan and Lingbao?"
"None yet!"
"You must always pay attention to the news about the two of them, and urge the last army to attack as soon as possible, directly to Wang Can's home base of Nanzheng, so that Wang Can has to return reinforcements from Baocheng, thus opening up the war situation and concentrating forces to destroy Wang Can.
Can." It has to be said that Liu Yan's news is too backward, and there is still no news about Yan Yan. This is because Yan Yan went deep into the hinterland of Hanzhong, so the news about Yan Yan was not transmitted.
Liu Yan and Zhao Wei didn't talk for long. After a while, Liu Yan already squinted his eyes slightly with a desolate look and could no longer support him.
Seeing this, Zhao Wei immediately said: "My lord, it is important for you to recuperate and recuperate. I will resign from my humble position."
Liu Yan waved his hand and signaled Zhao Wei to leave.
In the study, Liu Yan sighed and stared at the beams, dazed for a while.
