After hearing this, Yu Yi felt a little proud and said, "It's me!"
The village chief showed regret and said, "Actually, I have no choice but to hold this sacrificial meeting in Huguan?"
Sensing that there was something hidden, Yu Yi stopped the team to rest, walked up to the village chief with Diao Chan, and asked, "What's the secret?"
The village chief replied: "I was originally a subordinate of Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang. That day he told me that Le Jin wrote a letter to him, requesting that Yu Yi be killed. However, your reputation spread quickly, and the surrounding prefects did not know how to kill Yu Yi. They didn't dare to get involved, but they were pressured by Le Jin, so they all said they would cooperate. After Zhang Yang gathered his advisers to discuss it, he decided to let me command Huguan first to find out your character, and then bring him to the party. Prepare to assassinate you!"
Someone wanted to kill her husband, Diao Chan was naturally not happy, and immediately said angrily: "You are so brave!" After saying that, she raised the pear blossom whip in her hand, preparing to smash the other person's head to pieces.
Yu Yi stopped Diao Chan, walked up to the village chief, and asked, "Do you know about the big snake in Huguan?"
The village chief began to recall that it turned out that a man in black came to the village chief not long ago and told him that soon a big snake would settle in the Taihang Mountains behind Huguan. This big snake was a snake fairy and needed the girl's essence. At first, the village chief did not agree to cooperate, but the man actually summoned the big snake, which shocked him, so the village chief had to carry out preliminary publicity as required. However, the people were not stupid, and they made empty promises. No one Believe what the village chief says.
The village chief had no choice but to use force to suppress him. He also forcibly selected a girl to be sacrificed. He went to the back and asked the man in black to summon the big snake. This made the people afraid and obeyed the command.
Yu Yi thought about the identity of the man in black. He must be Sima Yi. This man was secretive and had an evil power. I am afraid that the corpse soldiers that appeared before were also his conspiracy. This time the big snake was also controlled by him. , so what exactly is he going to do?
Seeing that Yu Yi had not spoken for a long time, the village chief began to beg for mercy and praised Yu Yi as a god who used the power of thunderstorms to solve injustices in the world.
Yu Yi took out the snake-cutting sword and put it against the village chief's neck, saying: "Don't talk nonsense. Your prefect Zhang Yang is a good man who values friendship and loyalty. How could you want to harm yourself? This is clearly an instigation!"
The village chief thought that he told the truth, but he didn't expect that the other party would ask such a question, and he was speechless.
Diao Chan had long seen that Zhang Yang had evil intentions, and now the village chief had told the truth, which was all evidence, but Yu Yi actually did this. Just when she was about to explain further, Yu Yi threw a stream of white ash with her backhand, and Diao Chan So fascinated.
Yu Yi hugged Diao Chan and put him on his horse, then told the driver to speed up in the direction of Shangdang.
The journey west to Huguan is basically a plain. It is also very smooth to follow the official road. It doesn't take long to arrive at Shangdang's city.
The soldiers went to report the situation to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was very surprised and summoned his counselors to discuss, saying, "It is said that Yu Yi tied up the village chief and brought him to the city. What is his intention?"
A counselor suggested: "I heard that Yu Yi brought a sleeping woman and tied up the village chief. However, he did not bring an army. We can mobilize the entire city's force for security, and then invite him in for a banquet. , wait until he is drunk, send swordsmen and axemen to come forward and take him down with swords, then things will be done."
Zhang Yang was originally more inclined to kill Yu Yi to obtain the reward. The counselor's suggestion was approved by him, so he personally welcomed Yu Yi into the city and held a banquet.
After the two of them saluted, they sat down according to the seats of the guests. Yu Yi bowed, pointed to the tied man below, and said: "The man below claimed to be your subordinate. He also said that you invited me here under false pretenses, and then took the opportunity to get rid of him. I don’t know if it’s true?”
Zhang Yang's face turned green when he heard this, and he was about to smash the cup in his hand and execute the cleanup plan in advance.
Yu Yi observed the movements in Zhang Yang's hands and smiled: "But I don't believe it. Shangdang Zhang Yang has a good reputation and is praised by the people around him. How could such a kind person do such a thing?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yang's vanity was fully satisfied, and the wine glass in his hand stopped. Yu Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I am just a junior. I have no way to repay the prefect for entertaining me like this. Tonight Make sure you don't get drunk!" After saying this, he took the wine flask, filled the wine glass, and started drinking.
In order to avoid leaking the plan, Zhang Yang winked at a military commander below, and the man took out the village chief and several officers and soldiers that Yu Yi had brought.
The village chief naturally knew what his intention was and shouted loudly: "Zhang Yang, you ungrateful villain!"
Zhang Yang didn't care at all, and pulled Yu Yi to continue drinking. While drinking, he smiled and said, "There are always some enemies who frame up someone if they don't get what they want. How disgusting!"
Yu Yi ignored it, and soon the yelling and cursing stopped, and the banquet continued. During the banquet, Zhang Yang's counselor repeatedly hinted that Zhang Yang would break the wine glass and let the swordsman come out, but Yu Yi interrupted it in various ways.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "You are a young and handsome man. I heard that you defeated Yue Jin's 5,000 soldiers with 500 soldiers. This has been spread for a long time and I admire you very much. I just don't know why you went against the will of heaven and went to fight with Liu Bei." As the fourth younger brother, if you take refuge with Prime Minister Cao, you will definitely be better than me in glory and wealth."
Yu Yi replied: "This matter is exactly what I have been considering. I am also ready to seek refuge with Prime Minister Cao. It's just that the Prime Minister doesn't believe me and I don't have a reliable recommender." After saying that, he picked up Diao Chan in his arms and handed it to Zhang Yang. in front of.
Although Zhang Yang is not young, he still couldn't take his eyes away from Diao Chan after seeing Diao Chan, obviously fascinated by her beauty.
Yu Yi continued: "I met this when I was passing through Huguan. I think this woman is beautiful and matches the prefect, so I want to dedicate it to you!"
At this time, Zhang Yang's attention was completely attracted by Diao Chan. He put the matter of killing Yu Yi behind him, squeezed out many smiles on his face, and said to everyone: "From now on, Yu Yi is my brother, who of you You can't even try to trick him." After saying that, he actually dispersed all the ambush swordsmen behind the screen.
The chaotic scene of Yu Yi leaving with a knife and axe threw a small note into Diao Chan's underwear, and then put it away gently.
Diao Chan had already woken up at this time and felt the note Yu Yi put on her chest. She knew that Yu Yi must have made arrangements, so she kept pretending to be asleep.
The counselor was very disappointed when he saw Zhang Yang driving away the swordsmen, and found an excuse to leave the banquet.
Yu Yi toasted to Zhang Yang while secretly planning his next move.
Zhang Yang got a beauty, so he naturally cherished her more. He was afraid that Yu Yi would regret it and take Diao Chan away, so he quickly sent someone to take Diao Chan into his room.
