Chapter 504 The Last Respect
The two guests who walked in were indeed old acquaintances of Wei Yi, especially the one who walked in the lead.
Wude!
The former third leader of Heibingtai, the commander of the inspection brigade, later took over Shu County with Li Dachui, and then served as Sima of Shu County Army, Wu De, who was in charge of the entire military of Shu County.
Walking behind Wu De was Li Dachui’s close follower, Fang Mao Mao, known as the Wiggly Tiger in the world.
His eyes moved from Wu De's face to Fang Xiaomao's face, and then fell on Zhou Xuan's face on the side.
Zhou Xuan said goodbye too much and refused to look at Wei Yi.
With a bang, Wei Yi fell back into the chair, his face turning from the initial disbelief, shock and anger to a pale white.
Wu De walked over and sat across from him, picked up the wine pot, filled the cup in front of Wei Yi, and said: "Your father Wei Zhengdao, and you Wei Yi, are all temporary. Junjie is the best choice in terms of intelligence, but the choice he made this time is really not very smart!"
"The winner can indeed laugh at the loser as much as he wants!" Wei Yi raised his hand, He was trembling a little, but he still worked hard to lift the glass to his mouth and drank it in one gulp. Although he tried his best to appear calm, the spilled wine still showed his inner panic.
"When you heard that Li Duhu was the posthumous son of Crown Prince Li Zemin, your best choice was to turn around immediately and surrender to Linghuye." Wu De said with a smile, "But you still chose to come to Hanzhong. What makes you think that after we occupy Shuzhong, we will watch your Wei family control Hanzhong and strangle us from Shu?"
"It's greed!" Fang Mao Mao smiled! He also came over and said, "If they go to Linghuye at that time, they will be at the end of their rope and have no way out. Linghuye takes them in, which is a kindness. But if they come to Hanzhong, guard Hanzhong, and then take Hanzhong to fight with Linghuye Talking about conditions means cooperation and alliance! "
"Brother Wei, is this what Xiaomao said?" Wu De said with a smile: "I told Governor Zhou beforehand that with the wisdom of your father and son, They will definitely not fall into a trap, but Commander Zhou said that based on his understanding of you and your son, you will definitely come. Speaking of which, Commander Zhou knows you better!"
"We are greedy, but it makes us more greedy! What I didn't expect was Zhou Xuan's betrayal!" Wei Yi turned around and glared at Zhou Xuan: "Zhou Xuan, how could we and my son be sorry for you? It's okay for you to defect to Li Dachui. Are you not even willing to tell me? As long as you say even a few words, I won't throw myself into a trap!"
Zhou Xuan lowered his head and was speechless. He could only see that his face was red, and even his ears were red. It seemed like blood would drip out.
"Brother Wei, there is no need to blame Governor Zhou!" Wu De said: "Water flows to lower places, and people walk to higher places. Step by step, the Wei family is getting closer and closer, making the road narrower and narrower, and the more dangerous it becomes, the more it goes, the more dangerous it is. Anyone who still has some ability can , naturally we have to find another way, do you want everyone to bury Wei with you?"
"It's okay to not look for Gaozhi, but betraying the old master is nothing!" Wei Yi sneered! : "Zhou Xuan, you are the most eloquent. Even my father said that your sharp tongue can defeat thousands of troops. Why, don't you explain your behavior with some awe-inspiring truth?"
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said: "There is nothing to say. I just betrayed my old master in exchange for my own glory and wealth. If there is any reason, it is that I don't want my family to fall into the dust and be destroyed. Crushed into clay. Wei Yi, do you know what the descendants of the Tang clan who used to be like princes in Shu are like now?"
Wei Yi sneered.
“I saw that the descendants of the Tang clan who used to be well-dressed and well-fed were in tattered clothes and had nothing to eat. These high-ranking young men in the past were digging in the ground with bare feet, picking up dung, and rummaging in the garbage dumps for food. , the once charming young ladies are now reduced to prostitution. Some talented ones who are good at singing and dancing can still perform in some high-end brothels, while those who can't do anything have even become some who rely on the door to solicit customers. The most despicable trick. Wei Yi, that's the Tang Clan in Sichuan. Once they fail, even they will be reduced to this situation. I, the Zhou family, am just a small family. I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be difficult for me to die, right? ”
When it came to the emotional part, Zhou Xuan burst into tears.
Wei Yi looked up at the sky, and nodded after a long while: "I can't blame you for being a successful king or a defeated bandit. If you really want to blame me, it can only be because my father and son are not as skilled as others. Now that everyone has turned against each other, that's probably the case. "Death without a burial place."
Wu De looked at Zhou Xuan who was crying, and said to the other party, "Kitty cat, it's almost time. You and Governor Zhou should go and do your work. Except for those who belong to the Wei family. Except for his trusted officers, no one else should be treated harshly. When the Wei family is completely defeated, these people will still be of great use." "Yes!" Fang Mao Mao stood up and pulled Zhou Xuan, who was still crying, out. go.
Wu De poured himself a glass of wine, "Actually, the people in the Tang Sect are not as miserable as Zhou Xuan said! After we captured Shuzhong, we will treat those guys who have done all kinds of evil. , Naturally, public trials are used to inflame the people. This is also a means for us to win the hearts of the people. As for those ordinary people in the Tang family, they just have no privileges. They can make a living based on their own ability. If they have no ability, they can rely on a handful of money. You can eat even if you have strength. It would be really miserable if you have nothing.”
Wei Yi smiled miserably and said: "Once people like us fail and fall into the dust, can they really live like ordinary people? Wu De, you lied, it's impossible. The people in this world like to see and hear the most are people like us. Knocked off the dust, so that they can all step on us and indirectly prove themselves. Just now Zhou Xuan said that the ladies of the Tang Sect fell into the dust. I guess their business must be extremely good, that is, those If you’re not pretty enough to be a doorkeeper, I’m afraid you won’t send anyone to visit her!”
Wu De raised his eyebrows, Wei Yi was indeed right.
“Whether it’s the Tang Clan or you, the Wei family, you have enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the world for so many years, the vicissitudes of the world, the reincarnation of the world, and the suffering you have suffered is just some compensation for the sins you have committed in the past. Maybe in one generation, maybe in two generations, when the world has forgotten you, you can naturally start all over again. This is not particularly difficult. I, Wu, am an orphan, and I have walked up step by step. "
"Won't Li Dachui kill them all?"
"If we really kill them all, will the descendants of the Tang clan who Zhou Xuan said be guilty? Those who deserve death and are innocent deserve to live, but how they live depends on their own ability. For us, we will not deliberately target such people, and of course, we cannot take any care of them. " Wu Dedao.
"If Li Dachui can really do this, then I really hope that he can defeat Linghuye and become the Lord of the Qin Dynasty in the future. At least, I can still count on my descendants of the Wei family to succeed in the next few decades. After more than a few years, they will come back again. Wu De, I am not boasting, as long as my descendants of the Wei family can survive, they will definitely make a comeback!" Wei Yidao.
Wu De nodded.
"I'm definitely going to die, right?"
"Yes!"
"Then I want to ask you, for the sake of our acquaintance for many years, to give it to me Is it decent?" Wei Yi looked at Wu De sincerely.
Wu De thought for a while, stood up, picked up the wine glass, and raised his hands: "I want to toast you, have a nice journey!"
Wei Yi did not stand up, but stretched out his hand to pick up the wine glass in front of him. Drink it all.
Wu De put down his wine glass, turned around and went out.
Outside the door, there were already heavily armed guards.
After the tea time, the guards opened the door and looked inside.
On the high beams, a person was hanging there quietly.
