Chapter 1166: Father and son kill each other, brothers fight against each other
Even though Liang Shide had been fighting for many years and was used to seeing life and death, the impact of seeing a living person fall to death in front of him, especially an old friend and confidant who had been with him for many years, was still unparalleled.
He froze on the golden car, unable to breathe or heartbeat for a long time.
"You——"
He wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something. Liu Fuyan, who was lying on the ground with his whole body covered in blood, raised his head with the last bit of strength. His desperate, blood-soaked eyes stared straight at him. When he opened his mouth, blood suddenly spurted out, and he couldn't even speak a single word. Before it could take shape, he took his last breath.
This old friend who had followed him to fight in the north and south, fighting his way out of the most difficult places, died in front of him just like that.
Blood slowly flowed along Liu Fuyan's body, and soon it dyed the wheels of the golden car red. The strong smell of blood suddenly surrounded the entire golden car, as if the sea of blood suddenly turned up and surged towards him. If it comes over, it will swallow up the entire Luoyang City in an instant.
While frightened, Liang Shide suddenly felt a little angry in his heart.
"Surprisingly,"
He grasped the armrest of the seat on the golden car tightly, his finger bones crackled and his teeth chattered: "How dare he——"
Hearing his words, although it was just a very low voice, Wei Yu, who was standing next to the golden car and was also stunned by this scene, immediately understood and said hurriedly: "Unlucky! How dare you do this on King Xia's great day?" Something! ”
His cold and sharp voice was like a gust of cold wind blowing in his face, and it suddenly swept away Liang Shide's remaining panic.
The anger in his heart suddenly swelled infinitely. He stared at the corpse on the ground fiercely. All the companionship and sharing of joys and sorrows in the past turned into resentment at this moment. It was clear that he was only one step away from the highest power, but Liu Fuyan refused to accompany him. Not only did he refuse to accompany him, he even added a touch of blood to him in this last step. What was it if it wasn't a curse?
Thinking of this, he had no sympathy or mercy for this person and said coldly: "Drag him away!"
Wei Yu hurriedly ordered that the soldiers around him could only step forward immediately and drag away the body of Liu Fuyan, whose eyes had not yet been closed. Unfortunately, the corpse, which was still exuding residual warmth, only left a dazzling ray of light on this road. , blood-red traces.
Soon, the golden car continued to move forward and ran over the pool of blood.
The wheels rolled forward, followed closely by the guards and officials behind them. They stepped through the pool of blood one by one, leaving bright red traces one after another. Only Guan Chiying subconsciously avoided it and sighed as he passed by. Take a breath.
He said: "Can power really make people so...blind and crazy?"
Guan Ao beside him frowned slightly. When he heard this while being nervous, he also lowered his head and glanced at the dazzling bright red on the ground and said: "Power is the most deceptive thing in the world. For the sake of power, father and son fight against each other. Damn, brothers are fighting against each other since ancient times?”
"Father and son kill each other, brothers fight against each other..."
After hearing these two sentences, for some reason Guan Chiying's heart suddenly felt like a big stone was pressing down on him, making him a little breathless.
And Guan Ao's mind didn't seem to be on this. As they got closer and closer to the altar, his breathing became more and more tense. His eyes wandered around again, but there was still no trace of anyone in the wasteland. If Yu Wenye... or even Yu Wen Cheng really wanted to attack Luoyang, there would be no trace of him.
It seems that they will not come.
But the jade plaque that Guan Chiying brought back was not a fake, and the fact that Shang Ruyi was trapped in the enemy camp probably wasn't made up by him. I'm afraid the war at Hulao Pass was not settled yet, and Yu Wenye didn't have time to do it in such a short period of time. Come back within time, or——
Did Yu Wencheng deliberately obstruct it?
Thinking of this, Guan Ao's scalp felt numb. After his aunt Guan Yunmu passed away, the official family gradually had less contact with the Yuwen family's back house, and Yuwen Cheng didn't have a deep relationship with their family. On the contrary, because he was raised by that aunt Hui, he became closer to Yuwen Suihe. The Dong family behind him.
In addition, this kid has always had a high ambition but a low hand, and he has a bad relationship with Yu Wenye. If they really meet, wouldn't the big event in Luoyang come to nothing?
If this is the case——
Guan Ao turned around and glanced at the Luoyang City Tower, which was shining under the rising sun and was particularly brilliant against the fiery red silk. According to the information Guan Chi Ying had inquired about, Liang Shide had already decided that after today Ruined this place.
In other words, he has accomplished everything today, and there is no future for them.
Guan Ao's face gradually darkened. Even though he was walking forward with the large group of people, the sunlight made it difficult for everyone around him to open their eyes, but there was no trace of light in his eyes. Dignified and profound.
Finally, the golden chariot arrived in front of the altar, and the entire team stopped.
They immediately lined up in the open space under the altar according to the civil and military classes. Because they were the first to congratulate each other and the ones Liang Shide valued most, they were the famous families in Luoyang City. Guan Ao and Guan Chiying stood at the head of the civil servants' team. At the forefront, follow closely Behind them were officials from other families. These people were anxiously patrolling around after leaving the city. Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, they still did not see what the officials promised. Yu Wenye would arrive with his army. Even Yu Wencheng's figure was nowhere to be seen.
One of them couldn't help but quietly approached Guan Ao: "Zhiyan, what's going on?"
"..."
"Are you guys playing tricks on us?" After hearing this, Guan Chiying became anxious and said hurriedly: "I didn't. Before I came back, it was indeed——"
He was interrupted before he could finish his words, and several others put on the congratulatory form. The officials, who were also full of regret at this moment, all whispered: "We will follow you on the congratulatory form because of your family's promise. If it weren't for So, who would do such a thing? It’s a disgrace to the family!”
"Yes, if things don't come true today, it will be all your fault!"
"Zhiyan, you are the head of the Guan family, and you are also the leader this time. You must have an attitude!"
Seeing that they were getting more and more agitated, and even some did not bother to cover up, even the guards standing in line around them gradually realized that something was wrong here, and looked sideways, but because they were a little far away, they did not hear them clearly. What to say, only someone yelled: "Don't talk!"
Everyone looked at the sharp swords in the hands of the guards and did not dare to act rashly for a moment.
But Guan'ao was so quiet that he didn't say a word.
Guan Chiying knew that his brother had always been the backbone of the family, not only because he inherited the official position, but also because of his extremely firm and unyielding character. Therefore, when Liang Shide captured Luoyang and killed the sun and the moon, he also Not afraid, and even more unwilling to surrender. This time, it was because he brought back Guan Yunmu's jade token and Princess Qin's promise that he reluctantly believed in himself.
For him, surrendering to Liang Shide and presenting a congratulatory form for him was a great shame and humiliation for a civil servant, and he should be the one regretting it the most now.
Why is there no sound at all?
Guan Chiying's head was covered in cold sweat, but when he saw Guan Ao's pale face, not only was there no blood, but his whole body seemed to have lost all warmth, he felt more and more uneasy, and when no one was paying attention, he said carefully: "Brother, you - ”
Guan Ao said lightly: "No need to say it."
"...?"
Guan Chiying looked at him in surprise. He saw Guan Ao standing there calmly, holding his hands together. His right hand slowly went up along the tiger's mouth of his left hand and touched his arm. Guan Chiying said this Only then did he realize that although his robes were wide, his arms seemed much thicker than usual, especially when he was squeezed tightly by his own right hand. It didn't look like he was squeezing his own arm, but like he was holding a... sharp blade. .
Guan Chiying suddenly seemed to understand something, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Brother!?"
Guan Ao said coldly: "I have been prepared for this a long time ago."
"..."
"No matter whether the news you brought back is true or false, no matter whether Yu Wenye can come today or not, if it doesn't work out, you can only use my blood to wash away this shame!"
"...!"
At this moment, Guan Chiying's breath was suffocated.
And just when his mind went blank and he couldn't even think of what words he should use to stop Guan Ao, or - he knew that no one could stop Guan Ao until now. At this time, there was a sudden sound in front of him. A drumbeat.
Everyone raised their heads and saw Liang Shide slowly walking down from the golden car. A straight corridor at his feet passed through the array of civil and military officials on both sides and led directly to the three-story altar. Each altar was surrounded by More than a dozen guards lined up to guard, in a strict and orderly manner.
At this moment, a flame was burning in the bronze cauldron at the top of the altar, and three sake statues were placed on the altar,
Seeing this scene, Liang Shide nodded with satisfaction, and then walked step by step towards the altar on the thick soft blanket spread on the ground.
In an instant, he had reached the forefront of these civil and military ministers, which was the place closest to Guan'ao and the others.
One step further and you have to climb onto the altar.
At the same time, Guan Ao's right hand had quietly reached into the sleeve of his left hand. A sharp short knife was tied to his arm. It had been in his sleeve all morning, as if he wanted to drink blood.
At this time, at this moment——
Just when Guan Ao was about to unsheath his sword, Liang Shide suddenly stopped and stopped in front of him and said, "Sacrifice, are you ready?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then they discovered that there were only three sake statues on the top of the altar, but there was no sacrifice.
But Wei Yu immediately came forward and said with a flattering smile: "It has been prepared for a long time."
After speaking, he glanced at Guan Chiying and the others intentionally or unintentionally.
At this moment, Guan Chiying suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, but before this uneasiness could even form a thought, she heard Liang Shide say: "Then offer it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards around him suddenly swarmed up and arrested Guan Ao and Guan Chiying!
The two of them were pushed to the ground before they had time to struggle, and several other officials standing with them had unsheathed swords held at their necks, and none of them dared to move!
