Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 65 Pretending to be paralyzed and refusing to enter Cao's camp, plotting a big plan (10)
"However..." Gao Zhan seemed to have suddenly thought of something suspicious, and finally couldn't help but confide in it, "Master Xu, there is something strange about this matter, Mr. Sima is indeed suffering from wind paralysis, but he The tendon in his leg hasn't shrunk at all—Gao can still feel the elasticity and vitality of his muscles after pinching them just now."

"What... what's going on here?" Xu Yi asked hurriedly after hearing this, "So, his wind arthralgia can still be cured?"

Gao Zhan could only respond with a wry smile to his question.

Only then did Sima Yi speak slowly: "Everyone doesn't know, my father has specially invited famous doctors from neighboring counties to give me a full-body massage every day in order to help me recover as soon as possible... This is nothing more than being a father who does his best to comfort his subordinates. Alas, I suffer from such a terrible disease, even if I have the heart to serve the country and be loyal, but I don’t have the means to fly, everything is just a dream. I can only resign myself to fate, The old man has come down."

"Alas...Mr. Sima don't need to be sad." Xu Yi felt sad in his heart when he heard this, and comforted him, "There is a turning point in everything, misfortunes and fortunes are fickle - with Mr. Sima's great talent and great blessings, he will be able to turn danger into safety in the future. "

However, Gao Zhan nodded and praised repeatedly: "Oh... so you are doing massage for relaxing muscles and activating blood every day! That's right! No wonder Sima Jun's muscles are so well maintained... Maybe it's just like Mr. Xu said , and one day there will be a miracle from the heavens!"

At this time, Wu Mao, the commander of the convoy guards sitting on his left, looked at Sima Yi from afar, and just let out a cold snort from his nostrils, with a noncommittal look on his face.He would not doubt that Gao Zhan would cover up the fraud for Sima Yi, but he followed Cao Sikong's secret order and had his own secret method to find out whether Sima Yi was pretending to be sick.However, right now is not the best time for him to make a probe.

Xu Yi finally got up first, led Gao Zhan, Wu Mao and others to leave the table, and said goodbye to Sima Yi who was lying on the couch: "Sima Jun, don't be discouraged, please rest and take care of yourself. We have treated Cao Sikong attentively today. Convey the intention of accepting the virtuous, and return to Xudu immediately. I will report all your situation to Cao Sikong truthfully——Cao Sikong is eager to love talents, and maybe he will give Xuan wheel chairs, just like King Qi hired you. Sun Bin usually comes to conscript you into an official position."

"What's your virtue and your ability? How can you stand Cao Gong's kindness and grand ceremony?" Sima Yi heard Xu Yi's words on the couch, and immediately touched his chest and wept, until Xu Yi and others left the house after saying goodbye Still leaning on the back of the couch, mourning overwhelmed.

In the living room, finally only Niu Jin and Sima Yin were left by his bedside.After a while, Sima Yi stopped crying, and slowly raised his head, the sorrowful expression on his face had long been wiped away, replaced by a look of concentration and meditation.

"Second Young Master...you were really able to hold back just now..." Sima Yin couldn't hold back any longer, and exclaimed, "So those silver needles stuck in your leg...you didn't even frown."

Sima Yi didn't reply right away, but glanced at Niu Jin, and said indifferently: "Just untie my acupoints..."

Under Sima Yin's surprised and inexplicable gaze, Niu Jin responded, then bent down, turned his right palm over, exerted enough palm strength, and patted Sima Yi's back twice.

I saw that Sima Yi's whole body relaxed suddenly, and his whole body suddenly glowed, which was completely different from the fatigue and weakness just now - what's more, he moved his legs, stepped off the ground, and sat firmly on the couch again. stand up.

"Thank you, Niu Jin, for sealing all the acupoints on Yi's lower body with the unique knowledge of Xuanmen Qigong taught by Master Guan Ning. Otherwise, the few injections given by Doctor Gao would have made Yi grin his teeth in pain!" Sima Yi turned his face. , and smiled slightly towards Niu Jin, "Yi finally survived the public temptation they came to the door today..."

"So that's how it is!" Sima Yin couldn't help but said happily after hearing this, "Now the Second Young Master has successfully passed the temptation of Master Xu and Imperial Doctor Gao, and you can live in the mansion with peace of mind from now on..."

"It's completely possible to live in the mansion with peace of mind? According to Yiyi, I'm afraid it may not be possible for the time being." Sima Yi shook his head lightly, his brows furrowed slightly. .It's just that there seems to be something wrong with the way the team guard commander looked at Yi."

"The commander of the convoy guard is an extraordinary martial arts master." Niu Jin said expressionlessly, "From the moment he entered the living room, Niu felt that his whole body was shrouded in evil spirit."

Hearing this, Sima Yi raised his head and took a deep look at Niu Jin, with deep approval in his eyes: "Mr. Niu has observed him carefully! That's right. He broke into the Grand Master's Mansion in Luoyang to openly assassinate him. Dong Zhuo's great assassin. Yi had a relationship with him at that time. It's just that he doesn't recognize Yi now..."

"This person must be guarded!" Niu Jin's speech has always been succinct, "He may repeat his old tricks and take advantage of others to spy on you. He is the last trump card that Cao Sikong sent to find out your true and false details."

Sima Yi looked solemn, but nodded slowly and was speechless.

ever so close to death

After Xu Yi, Gao Zhan and other conquest envoys bid farewell to Sima Mansion, they all boarded their cars and went back to Xudu.Only Wu Mao and a few of his guards stopped halfway, claiming that they were ordered by Cao Sikong to go to Huojia County to inspect the military situation.

Because Wu Mao's true identity is the deputy commander of Cao Sikong's personal bodyguards, he can be called the most trusted confidant around Cao Sikong, and they have always been responsible for spying on secret visits and monitoring the actions of officials, so Xu Yi and Gao Zhanzong are somewhat skeptical. He didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he let Wu Mao lead a few elite soldiers and rode away.

However, when Wu Mao and his team arrived at the three-fork intersection at the junction of Huojia County and Wen County, they galloped straight into the intersection heading to Wen County—and hurried back towards the previous way.

In the filial piety, they took off their armor in the dense forest, put on tattered refugee clothes, disguised themselves as ordinary peasants, and lurked nearby, preparing to further spy on Sima Yi's reality.

One night seven days later, Wu Mao had already memorized the layout of the houses in the Sima Mansion in his mind. He put on a night outfit and rode under the cover of several guards under the cover of a few guards to avoid the servants of the Sima Mansion. He went all the way to Sima Yi's bedroom. Suddenly, with a loud cry, he broke in with a knife and went straight to the bed to kill him!
The moment the room door broke open, he saw Sima Yi was still lying frozen on the bed, motionless!Facing the harsh knife light and the assassin who came suddenly, Sima Yi woke up suddenly, his face turned pale with fright, his fists pounded the wooden railings on both sides of the bed, and he shouted "Help", but the whole body The body twisted and twisted rapidly and heavily under the quilt, but it still couldn't stand up, nor could it crawl away!
With soft rustling sounds, Wu Mao's blade swam swiftly across his quilt like a snake and a flying fish, and clusters of cotton wool kept flying up and down along with the blade light that flowed like electricity—they They were scattered on the top of Sima Yi's head, forehead, shoulders, and cheeks, making him all white and dusty all over his body, making him look a little funny and ridiculous!
However, Sima Yi was still like a puppet, reacting very slowly and strenuously - even when Wu Mao's sharp knife point pierced his skirt and pierced his skin, he still couldn't jump up to resist desperately!
With a soft sound of "Bo", Sima Yi's skin on the side of the neck was scratched by the blade, and a string of bright red blood beads rolled down quickly - he closed his eyes and shouted hoarsely: "My life is over! "

The blade didn't pierce deeply, but stuck to the skin between his chest and jaw, slashing left and right for a while, it was like a piece of ice, slashing on any piece of skin on Sima Yi's body Immediately, his hair stood on end and his muscles tensed up—this was a torture that was worse than killing him with a knife!Sima Yi felt that his nerves were being cut and torn apart bit by bit...

He cried and begged hoarsely, but his lying body did not bounce up because of the fear in his heart—finally, he heard the assassin's soft sigh from the depths of his throat, and then everything seemed to be still It's gone: The sharp and hard chill that was still on his neck just now disappeared!
Outside the window, there was a mix of servants coming from all directions, shouting for help, and driving thieves away!

At this moment, he opened his eyes suddenly, and there was nothing in front of him, and it was so quiet, that Wu Mao had disappeared!

With a flash of gray shadow, Niu Jin jumped down from the eaves of the room, knelt down beside his couch, with admiration on his face: "Congratulations, Second Young Master—this assassin didn't detect any flaws in you!"

But Sima Yi didn't say a word, just lying on the bed panting heavily, his hands clutching the edge of the bed tightly, the veins on his arms were bulging, and the clothes under his vest were drenched with cold sweat!

At the most dangerous, urgent, and unpredictable juncture just now, he gave up all his tactics and actions, and relied on his deepest intuition and perseverance to gamble with the assassin on the sharp point of the knife. In the end he won—the assassin was really deceived by his most authentic disguise, so he put away his knife and left!

What if, at the last moment, he couldn't help jumping up in fright, or a slip of the hand gave him away?Maybe, he really can't stand up anymore? !
Two enemies face each other, at the time of life and death, whoever can count more accurately, who can hold on more firmly, who can endure more, will be the final winner!

This is the most profound true meaning of struggle that Sima Yi experienced with his own life in this soul-stirring night.This experience and this truth will affect countless life and death contests in his future life!As long as he thinks of the extremely thrilling scene tonight, he will secretly sneer at the opponents in front of him-I was so close to death, and I put down all resistance to approach death, but in the end, death came before me. Back down sadly!So what danger do I dare not take now?What difficulties are there that you dare not break through?Is there any ups and downs that can't be persisted in the past?
