Chapter 203 The scholar died for the confidant (Part 2)
Half a moment ago, in the big tent, Tian Qing and Gongziwu seemed to be having fun, but they still did not touch on the essence of the problem.
Gongziwu is just that the two of them should be together for the difficulties at this time. Some words can be said clearly in private and do not need to be covered up.
Since there were only two people, Gongziwu said: "Now the Mo family has signed a decree for punishment, and you and I are on the list of decrees. Even if I can be a king and a lord one day, if I admit my guilt but I am only exempted from the body of a lord, then I will be guilty after all."
"Only by not admitting such sins can people be convinced. Will Qiren respect a sinful monarch?"
This statement is very meaningful, and Tian Qing understands Tian Wu's meaning.
Tian Wu said that if Tian Qing was to be relieved, he would never abandon him no matter what, or take him out as a scapegoat. Because even if he was a scapegoat, it would prove that he was guilty, but he escaped punishment.
But Tian Qing understood that Wei Jun was guilty and lost the case in court debate. He was sentenced to imprisonment by Duke Wen of Jin, but in the end he was able to restore the country.
It is meaningless to believe or not at this time, and Tian Qing is not prepared to believe it, so he can only rely on himself to protect himself in the complex vortex of the future.
But the key point is how to escape the siege of the Mo family this time, Gong Ziwu didn't mention anything, but only said these useless things, and what nonsense they would be like in the future.
The key to the present is not what the future will be, but how can these tens of thousands of troops be preserved now, at this moment, how can these tens of thousands of troops be preserved?
But finally, Gongziwu's words were over, and Tian Qing showed a happy attitude. Not to mention the key points, Tian Qing only thought that Gongziwu was young and ignorant, and only knew how to talk about the future, but he didn't care too much.
While the two were talking, a shout from outside the tent suddenly came.
To punish those who harm the world! Follow the Mo family’s order to punish the unrighteous, Tian Wu and Tian Qing will die today!
This was a loud noise, and Tian Qing immediately pushed his buttocks behind his feet and was about to start.
In a moment, he just thought that Gong Ziwu wanted to kill someone by borrowing a knife.
After years of experience, he had already touched the sword with his hands, but when he saw it again, Gong Ziwu looked surprised, which did not look like a fake.
Tian Qing, who has been a long-time general for many years, hurriedly got up and shouted: "Young Master, come out with me!"
Tian Wu was also panicked and at a loss. He had made careful plans before and considered all possibilities, but what he didn't expect was that there would be a hidden Mozhe assassination at this time.
What he was most worried about now was the Mohist order to punish the unjust. He was young and panicked. When he heard this shout, his mind was blank.
Tian Qing shouted loudly, stretched out his arm, grabbed Tian Wu's hand, and ran out.
Tian Qing also knew that there were guards around here, but when the shouts sounded just now, he remembered something recent.
There are many assassinations.
If the assassination officials were all like that, it would be safer in the military tent.
However, the assassination of Qin State in the west that shocked the world a few years ago made Tian Qing still feel scared.
On the Hebo Festival, Nie Zheng threw two iron thunders. Although the children who sacrificed Hebo did not directly kill Qin Jun in the end, it still caused chaos and created an opportunity for assassination.
The Mohist family is best at using gunpowder. Tian Qing was afraid that these assassins had iron thunder in their hands, and they were both thrown in.
Tian Wu had the intention to kill him because Tian Wu was the young master and the son of the Duke of Qi.
Tian Qing had no intention of killing Tian Wu because he could not end after he killed him. The soldiers he brought were not the soldiers on his fiefdom, but the army of Linzi, and it was impossible for him to rebel with him.
Some of the "slaves" who were accompanying the tent also stood beside Tian Wu. In a panic, Tian Qing didn't think much about what was wrong.
He took Tian Wu's hand and left the military tent, but Tian Qing saw two close-killed soldiers fighting. One of them shouted loudly and said something like killing the unrighteous people, covered in blood.
Tian Qing was shocked. He never expected that the Mo family's people would penetrate into his side. He was more vigilant about the Mo family and said to him, "The Mo family's technique of bewitching people's hearts is indeed extraordinary. These two people have been retainers for many years and have received a lot of gratitude. They have saved me many times without fear of death and are grateful. Now these two people are actually bewitched by the Mo family. Is there anyone around them who can trust?"
The two dead soldiers fought very hard. When Tian Qing and Tian Wu appeared, one of the dead soldiers shouted: "Tian Wu will die today!"
After saying that, he rushed towards Tian Wu. Tian Qing didn't know that the dead soldier was trying to save him, and he thought that he would die today. It would be better to take this opportunity to feel that Tian Wu was going to protect his master.
Although Tian Wu is also a nobleman and has been practicing sword since he was a child, he was young after all. How could he be as powerful as the dead soldiers who had fought for many years? Especially the dead soldiers already have the will to die. How could Tian Wu stop them?
However, when Tian Qing rushed out, he was already holding a sword in his hand. Seeing the dead soldier approaching Tian Wu, he blocked his sword with his sword. He thought that as long as he could block these ten steps of killing, the dead soldier around him would be able to kill him.
But unexpectedly, the dead soldier didn't care about Tian Qing's blocking at all. He stretched out one hand to make a shield and let Tian Qing's sharp sword slash at his arm, but the sword in his right hand did not stop and stabbed Gong Ziwu's chest.
But he was at the end of his strength at this time. Although Tian Qing's sword did not block him, Tian Wu's dead soldier behind him had already pounced on him and killed the assassin.
When the assassin was dying, he looked at Tian Qing deeply and smiled.
At this time, everything was in chaos near the tent, and several dead soldiers around Tian Qing rushed to Tian Qing, but after all, Gong Ziwu had more people.
At this time, I was afraid that it would be too late to explain, and I didn’t know whether it was true or false. When one of the two dead soldiers had been killed, he praised loudly: “The warriors around the young master are like fighting back!”
This is a saying of praise, at least it sounds like that.
All countries have elite guards around the king, but the elite guards of each country have different reputations.
Like Chu's carriage, it was the guards on the battlefield, and they were invested in an indissoluble battlefield to reverse the situation.
For example, Zhao's counterattack was the most brave personal guard, because there was an incident of Yu Rang assassination in Zhao State, and there was also a case of Zhao Zi hammering the Dai King to death. After that incident, the guards of Zhao State called it "counterattack".
The anti-fighting words sounded like a great compliment, saying that the warriors around Gongziwu were like the anti-fighting of Zhao State, and they were extremely brave in close combat.
The speaker has a heart, and the listener has a heart.
Tian Qing had doubts that these two people were the least likely to assassinate themselves. In other words, if you want to assassinate, there are opportunities, so why bother to this day?
Besides, the two of them had been secretly discussing with Gongzi Wu several times before, and these two men were also guarding outside. If the assassination was performed at that time, no one could stop him. Why bother today?
The smile of the dead soldier just now also made Tian Qing feel uneasy.
At this time, he heard the dead soldiers on his side praise the people around Gongziwu with the "resistance of counterattack" and he immediately woke up. The agile slaves in the tent just now also reminded Tian Qing of the moment.
The counterattack is praise.
But how did the counterattack come about?
It was when Zhao Xiangzi killed King Dai. The warriors around him pretended to be slaves. When they were drunk and talked, they used the wine fight to hammer the King Dai to death, so they used "counter-fight" as the title of guard.
If it is on weekdays, Tian Qing would not consider such praise.
But today, this praise was like a scene reappearing. Tian Qingyu Guang swept over and saw the previous few servants who poured wine standing beside Gongziwu at this time, so there was no doubt.
He had already understood that Tian Wu was tempted to kill, but he was afraid that his deceased soldier would see the problem, so he used such a strategy to remind himself.
Otherwise, those dead men would have been worried about their relationship with Tian Wu, and it would be bad if Tian Wu succeeded to the throne.
There was a precedent for a monarch like Qi. The first thing Duke Xi did after he ascended the throne was to dig the ancestral tomb of a doctor who had conflicts with him when he was a son.
Tian Wu, Tian Qing’s ancestral tomb, would definitely not be able to dig Tian Wu as his ancestral tomb, but it is really hard to say if he has distrust and waits until Tian Wu is the king.
He thought a lot when he thought about it again. How could he not understand the current situation?
I thought to myself, I am afraid that Tian Wu is prepared for today.
Looking around, there were only seven or eight dead soldiers around him, and there were countless people around Tian Wu. If he really turned his face, he would definitely be unlucky.
"If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"
Tian Qing also knew that there was no good result if he killed Tian Wu, because he could not kill all those who saw these things. At that time, he said that it was the Mo family's move, and as long as someone is alive, it will not be concealed.
In the end, he killed the young master with his ministers, and the troops he brought were from Linzi, so he had no chance of winning even if he had rebelled.
But now that things have come to this point, I don’t have to think too much about it. Either you die or I live, Tian Qing’s intention to kill him suddenly arises.
He quietly made a gesture to the death warrior, indicating that he had understood, and then immediately laughed and said, "If it weren't for the young master today..."
While smiling as if he wanted to praise, he approached Tian Wu within three or five steps. Tian Wu was still in a state of confusion and panic at this time. He didn't know what to do, nor did he understand what was going on just now, nor did he know what to do at this time to be the most beneficial to him.
As for the praise that Tian Qing had in his words, he just thought it was sincere and didn't think much about it in panic.
Tian Qing was approaching with laughter and thought to himself: "If I fight him directly for today's business, I will be short of staff around me and I will be harmed by him."
"He is young, he must be panicked at this time. He can plan the plot in advance, but he is far inferior to me when he is approaching."
"The only way to capture him first is to have a glimmer of hope. If you can't capture him alive, you can only kill him. Even if I will die, he will not be able to survive!"
The experience accumulated through years of aristocratic conspiracy and the many palace coups of the Tian family over the past twenty years has made Tian Qing a truly qualified aristocrat, a nobleman who is not surprised to engage in conspiracy and coups without relying on advance predictions.
