Chapter 127 Boys' Walk
The cavalry company stood quietly, a total of two hundred people, covered with iron, looking extremely tough. Among the troops trained by Zhu Youxiao, only these two hundred people used iron armor, and the other spearmen all wore leather armor. There was no way , it’s really hard to go too far under the eyes of others.
Qi Jin, Yu Zigao, and even the three eunuchs were all dressed in armor and riding horses among the cavalry. They held sabers in their hands and looked ready to fight. At this moment, people surrounding Zhu The people around Youxiao, even if they are as weak as a eunuch, silently contribute their own strength.
The night wind blew loudly, blowing away all the clouds in the sky. The moon quietly shed its soft light, forming large shadows on the earth.
"Have arrangements been made for the person who will answer the door of Qianqing Palace?" Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao asked.
"Everything has been arranged. As long as His Highness passes by, someone will open the door from the inside. Although it is only a side door, it is enough for us to go in." Wang Chengen, who is currently in charge of the work in the palace, replied.
"Yes!" Zhu Youxiao nodded. He has never been a passive person. Now that he knows that Xi Li has gathered the imperial army and wants to do evil, he will not wait like this. He will naturally take the initiative. As long as he arrives. Qing Palace, control Xili and others, and then announce the death of the late emperor, then he will inherit the throne without any doubt.
Every door in the palace is guarded by imperial guards and eunuchs, and the eunuchs are often in a dominant position. Xi Li can win over those eunuchs, and Zhu Youxiao can naturally do the same. As a prince, his charisma is even greater than that of Xi Li. To be big, if he wasn't afraid of the emperor, he would have already started to manage his own power in the palace.
Just as they were talking, eight hundred spearmen had come out, which was exactly a fighting battalion. However, at this moment, from behind on their right side, a burst of scattered and broken sounds suddenly came from the strong wind. Listen carefully. , as if the sound of countless footsteps overlapped together.
"Someone is approaching." Zhu Youxiao's face darkened, and he turned and headed to the right. Under his order, the battle battalion followed slowly behind at an orderly pace. At the same time, there were The messengers ran to the garrison and asked the people behind to form formations and then go north.
Turning around and arriving at the open space to the west of the station, Zhu Youxiao concentrated his eyes and looked north. The lights there spread out and formed a large area walking this way.
"The north is the direction of Qianqing Palace. Could it be that something happened there?" Zhu Youxiao had an unpleasant suspicion in his mind. A large number of people must have gathered under so many torches.
As time went by, the distance between the people on both sides became closer. Zhu Youxiao, who had good eyesight, could basically see the situation on the opposite side clearly. There were countless soldiers dressed as the Forbidden Army walking towards this side holding torches, and in the center of the soldiers It seemed that some people were still surrounded.
"It seems that the action on the other side is not slow at all!" Zhu Youxiao thought to himself after seeing the situation clearly. It is obvious that the imperial army on the other side is the one that Xi Li has summoned. They are being gathered now. It seems that they want to destroy him. .
"I came just in time, so I can go find you!" Zhu Youxiao laughed loudly, his voice full of confidence. He was not worried about the situation in front of him at all. All the enemies were under his cruel discipline. There are scum in front of the array.
He clamped the horse between his legs a few times and let the horse stroll forward for a few steps. Then he started the horse, turned around, and turned his back to the enemy who came from Qianqing Palace.
Keng!
With a groan of gold and iron, Zhu Youxiao pulled out his saber. The blade was like a clear spring. Under the quiet moonlight, it seemed to be alive. He twisted his body in mid-air, as if he was expecting to kill.
"The sword of this Palace is called Men's Walk." Zhu Youxiao pointed his left hand like a sword and slowly slid it along the back of the sword. A slight chill came from the sword and penetrated into his heart.
"What does it mean to be a man?"
Looking at the cold and dark faces under the moonlight, Zhu Youxiao mustered up his inner strength, and a low roar came out of his mouth. This murderous poem that made a man's blood boil was displayed for the first time in the land of the Ming Dynasty.
"A man should kill, and kill without mercy."
"Eternal karma is all in killing people."
The beginning is so murderous that everyone who hears it changes color. The murderous verses are heard far away along with the sound of Zhu Youxiao's inner strength.
The original text of "A Man's Journey" does not start like this. There is also a sentence that is similar to explaining the narrative, but Zhu Youxiao felt that it was not suitable for the current situation, so he cut it.
"In the past there was a heroic man with great loyalty and loyalty.
Yaju kills people, and his body is lighter than a feather.
There are also heroes and tyrants, killing people in chaos,
Galloping around the world, he only boasts of his sword and spear.
If you try to find something like this now, you will be looking for the shadow of the moon in vain."
The words of these poems were plain and ordinary, but they made the blood of the Yulin sergeants boil with excitement.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
As Zhu Youxiao chanted, the Yulin Sergeant Gate standing in formation suddenly felt hot all over, and their hearts were beating powerfully. They seemed to hear the sound of their own blood flowing. The sound was like the roar of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The passage is astonishing.
"If you don't see it, the Confucian scholars will rise up and the strong men will die. From now on, China will praise benevolence and righteousness.
Once the barbarians invaded the Central Plains, the scholars rushed to the cowards and cried to the cowardly people.
I want to learn the ancient style and regain my heroic spirit.
Reputation is like dirt, and those who disdain benevolence will ridicule.
Wearing an iron sword, he kills people in anger.
They cut each other's legs and drank wine, chatting and laughing, and the ghosts and ghosts were frightened."
As if he didn't see their reaction, Zhu Youxiao continued to recite his own poems. Lines of heroic poems appeared one after another, stimulating the blood and desire in the hearts of the soldiers. More and more soldiers We gathered here and listened silently to some of Zhu Youxiao's poetry declarations from the second grade.
“……….
In the dream, there is still a murderer, and the smile reflects the brightness.
Daughters should not ask each other, why are men so evil?
Since ancient times, benevolence has only harmed others, and morality has never been true.
Don’t you see, the ligers are famous for their prey, but who can pity the elk?
The strong always eats the weak, even if it makes sense, it is in vain.
Don't ask, men have their own way.
A man should act violently. Action and benevolence are incompatible."
As soon as this poem was uttered, the excited sergeants Yulin got goosebumps all over their bodies. An unbearable feeling of panic rose from the soles of their feet, as if countless ants were crawling on their bodies, making them want to move. However, the harsh and even cruel military orders kept them motionless, and they could only let this feeling accumulate in their bodies.
The hot breath lingered in their chests, burning in their hearts like a ball of fire. With their mouths so dry, they almost couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and scream.
Some people couldn't help but want to yell a few times, but before the sound came out, Zhu Youxiao noticed it, and then stared at it with sharp eyes, suppressing their impulse in an instant. In such suppression, The morale rose unknowingly, and everyone wished that there was an enemy in front of them and that they could be pierced with a spear.
The soldiers gradually gathered together, but no one made a single noise. They all listened silently to this impassioned poem. The whole poem was made of very ordinary words, with almost no allusions. Even the illiterate people could understand it after listening to it.
I mean, these four thousand soldiers of the Yulin Army are not a problem either.
Everyone understood it, and felt the earth-shattering pride and murderous intent from these simple words. The bloody persistence and pride in men shocked everyone.
After the shock, they were moved to tears. Everyone seemed to find what they had lost, blood, courage, honor, and the dignity of being a man.
Zhu Youxiao's hoarse and unpleasant voice, which was in the stage of voice change, now had a different kind of charm combined with this extremely manly poem. The thick and passionate voice, encouraged by the inner strength, spread far and wide, and in the first place
As soon as the verses came out, they were overheard by the Imperial Guards who were making noise in this direction.
"A man should kill, and kill without mercy."
"Eternal karma is all in killing people."
A faint but clear voice came, and Li San was the first to react. Literati were always sensitive to this kind of thing. As soon as he heard it, he realized that someone was reciting poetry. However, after reflecting on the verses,
, his complexion suddenly changed.
He immediately recognized that this was the voice of their target. This voice was so tenacious that even in the noisy marching army, it was still faintly audible.
"Mr. Li, what is this?" Xi Li also asked with a slightly ugly look on his face.
"I don't know either." Li Sancai shook his head and said he didn't know. However, he did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, he lined up the crowd and walked to the front of the team. When Xi Li saw it, he couldn't sit still and took Cao Huachun with him.
Follow them, and then comes Wang Gandang, who is responsible for commanding the team and issuing orders.
Suddenly, the entire team changed, and the command center moved to the front.
Wang Gandang's integrated team is still a bit monolithic. Most of them are holding short weapons, and a few are archers. In the cold weapon era, close combat is the main focus. With an army of four thousand, Wang Gandang is confident that he can defeat all the enemies in the palace.
Resistance. Even if that person still has a thousand people in his hands, he is definitely not his opponent. The gap in numbers cannot be smoothed out so easily, especially in this era.
After arriving at the front, as the distance shortened, Li San could hear it more clearly. Lines of poetry that seemed to him to be rebellious were drilled into his ears, making him furious.
However, it was useless. The poem came out sentence by sentence, allowing more people to hear it. Xi Li and Cao Huachun also heard it very clearly. Even a person with no education like Xi Li understood it after listening to it.
The meaning expressed in this poem, filled with murderous intent, came straight at the hoarse voice, making the two of them feel a chill in their hearts and their teeth chattered.
"Good man, I really don't know who made such a majestic and mighty statement." Wang Gandang also heard it, but his reaction was completely different. After agreeing with joy, his face was filled with regret. Seeing him like this, I really wanted to
Now let’s have a drink with the author of three large bowls of Tiangong Workshop’s royal wine.
