Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 652: Li Fu, Captain of the Guards
Wen Chou was alone in the commander's tent, staring blankly at the scroll sent by Cao Ren.

I don't know how long it took, but the noise of soldiers could be heard outside.

Wen Chou was quite annoyed and asked his personal soldiers to go out and check.

The bodyguard responded and trotted away.

Not long after, the personal guards came in with two ragged figures.

Both figures were holding a wooden box.

When they saw Wen Chou, they immediately rushed over and knelt not far from him. They kept kowtowed and cried loudly, "General Wen, we are glad to see you at last!"

Wen Chou heard the two people's accents, which were similar to those in Yecheng, and asked, "Who are you? Are you familiar with me? Why don't I recognize you?"

One of them had snot and tears all over his face. He raised his head and tremblingly opened the wooden box he was holding.

There were two bloody heads inside.

Wen Chou frowned, looking disgusted.

The figure continued to cry and said, "General Wen, you may not remember us."

“We are people of humble status.”

"A few years ago, when Lord Yuan was still alive, we saw your bravery in Yecheng and have always admired you."

"Just seven days ago, we saw a large group of people at the Yecheng market."

"We rushed over and saw your family, General Wen."

"They were captured by the Jinyiwei and all sent to Caishikou to be beheaded!"

Jinyiwei was an organization temporarily established by Zhang Sui three dynasties ago. It only took orders from Zhang Sui and was mainly responsible for supervising all officials.

When Wen Chou heard the figure say this, his heart suddenly sank. He staggered a few steps and almost fell.

The figure continued to cry, "How tragic!"

"The general ordered the Royal Guards to kill General Wen's family members and not allow anyone to approach them or collect their remains."

"Otherwise, you will be considered an accomplice!"

“No one dared to come near.”

"We approached stealthily at night and used all our family wealth to bribe the guards on duty, only then were we able to get close to the remains of General Wen's family."

"We can't do much to facilitate our escape."

Looking down at the two heads in the wooden box in front of him, the figure said with a trembling voice: "I can only pick up the heads of the two young masters and two young ladies and bring them here quickly."

Pointing at the two bloody heads in front of him, the figure cried and said, "General Wen, the general is so cruel!"

"Not satisfied with killing General Wen's family, they also had the Imperial Guards chop off their heads beyond recognition."

"I heard from someone that the general was angry with you, General Wen, for acting on your own and causing the death of three thousand soldiers. He was also angry that you were too embarrassed to face people, so he also made your family look completely unrecognizable."

Wen Chou's eyes narrowed slightly.

Another figure also hurriedly opened the wooden box, revealing two other bloody heads.

Wen Chou looked at the four heads and saw that they were indeed two men and two women; he couldn't distinguish the others clearly. He screamed immediately, spit out a mouthful of blood, and was about to fall backwards.

Seeing this, the personal soldiers outside rushed in and supported Wen Chou.

Wen Chou, supported by his personal soldiers, looked at the four heads with red eyes and cried, "How great you are, Zhang Sui!!!"

"I, Wen Chou, haven't even become Li Ling yet, but you are going to become Emperor Wu!"

"Today, we have no choice but to fight to the death!"

Looking at the soldiers beside him, Wen Chou screamed, "Go find Yang Fu and Cao Ren. I want revenge! I want Zhang Sui to be killed without a complete body!"

A personal soldier quickly stretched out his hand to block the other personal soldiers.

It was the captain of the personal guards, Li Fu.

Li Fu, a native of Julu County, and his entire family starved to death due to a severe drought in the Xingping year.

It happened that the Montenegrin Army was recruiting men everywhere.

In order to make a living, Li Fu joined the Black Mountain Army.

Later, Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army was chopped into two halves by Zhang Sui's Mo Dao. Li Fu followed the Black Mountain Army and became Zhang Sui's subordinate, and stayed in Zhongshan County.

After the coup in Yecheng, Li Fu followed the now General of the Central Army Wang Hao to Yecheng for a fierce battle.

Afterwards, Li Fu and the Black Mountain Army were assigned to the Second Corps, under the jurisdiction of Wen Chou. Because of his quick thinking and ability to read people's expressions, Li Fu was chosen by Wen Chou to become one of his personal soldiers.

At the beginning of this year, Li Fu was promoted by Wen Chou to the captain of the personal guards.

At this moment, seeing Wen Chou in such a state, Li Fu stopped his personal soldiers.

Facing Wen Chou's bloodshot gaze, Li Fu drew the sword from his waist and stabbed the two figures to death one by one.

Wen Chou roared, "Li Fu, you betrayed me?!"

Li Fu stabbed the two figures to death with two swords, and then he knelt down in front of Wen Chou with his sword in both hands, and said seriously: "My lord, there is a trick here!"

"My Lord, think about it, is the general so vicious?"

"I once followed the general and I know him well."

"The general once said in Zhongshan County that if one person commits a crime, no one will be punished."

"Now, will the general go back on his word?"

Li Fu crawled to the two bloody heads, held one in front of Wen Chou, and said anxiously: "Master, look again, you can only tell that it is a man's head, how can you tell that it is a young master's head?"

"Also, if the general really wants to kill the master's family and sends the Royal Guards, which Royal Guards would dare to make such an offer and accept money from people in front of such an important order and let them take away the heads?"

"The words of these two people seem to be perfect, but in fact they are all flawed."

"My Lord, I suspect these two are Ma Chao's men in disguise!"

"They have only one goal, which is to make the master angry and hand over the other half of the tiger talisman."

"When the time comes, my lord, once you hand over the tiger talisman, the army will no longer be yours!"

"If Ma Chao attacks again, no matter what you choose, you will die!"

"My Lord, think twice!"

"I think the most important thing to do now is to send two groups of people to Yecheng."

"The Lord has made such a big mistake, the general will definitely not remain indifferent, he will definitely send someone over."

"If the general wants to execute the lord, it will have to be done by a very small number of people, quietly."

"At the same time, send officials to arrive first to appease you, my lord."

"Only by calming you down and preventing you from acting rashly, can those few people rush over and kill you quickly without causing major unrest."

"The general may be young and won't consider so much."

"But, Yecheng does have a General Staff!"

"The military supervisor Ju Gong and the others are all here."

"How could they just sit there and watch the general execute your family without asking any questions?"

Li Fu raised his sword above his head and said, "My Lord, please think twice!"

The other personal soldiers also looked at Wen Chou nervously.

Wen Chou's bloodshot eyes gradually calmed down.

With the help of his personal soldiers, he slowly sat down.

The general's tent was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a while, Wen Chou rubbed his face vigorously with his big hands a few times and signaled his personal soldiers to bring the two men's heads.

Wen Chou suppressed his trembling, held back his grief, and looked at the two heads carefully.

At this moment, more soldiers came hurriedly from outside.

After paying his respects to Wen Chou, the soldier said, "General, the scouts found a man who calls himself Wen Ze ten miles to the east!"

Wen Chou narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Fu.

Li Fu got up excitedly and said, "My Lord, I have met the eldest son. I will go and see him!"

"Don't deal with the body yet, stabilize Messenger Ma Chao first!"

Wen Chou was also very excited at this time.

Asking his personal soldiers to move the body aside, Wen Chou watched Li Fu run out, pacing back and forth non-stop.

He kept mumbling.
