One is the most powerful cavalry general in the Han Dynasty; one is a descendant of the former royal family; one is the leader of the largest horse thief in the Western Regions outside the Great Wall; one is the most mysterious Mohist giant. Four people, four identities
, whoever is thrown out of this room is a person who can shock the world. Who would have thought that these four people would be gathered together in a ruined temple on the bank of the Yellow River.
There was only one oil lamp, flickering on and off as it was blown left and right by the wind. The murderous look on the faces of Ying Guangji and Mo Yu could be clearly seen by Jingji and Su Ren. No one knew when these two people were
They had a grudge, but judging from today's incident, it seems that the grudge is still very deep. The wind kept blowing hard, and the oil lamp was about to be blown out. Su Ren took a few steps and stretched out his hand to protect the lamp.
"Don't you two want to try to persuade me? Do you want to see if we can fight?" Ying Guangji fiercely spread out his fan and flicked it twice against the biting autumn wind.
Su Ren and Jingji immediately shook their heads, saying no. Ying Guangji sighed and sat down on Su Ren's seat: "Hey! People's hearts are not ancient! People's hearts are not ancient!"
Mo Yu also returned the sword to its sheath, picked up Su Ren's wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then turned and sat on the window sill. Su Ren put the oil lamp in a suitable position and asked Jia Ji: "Why didn't they fight?"
Thorns shook his head: "Maybe you think you have no chance of winning!"
"That's right! Since both sides are hurt, there is no need to fight. We are all people who cherish feathers. It is not a good thing to make anyone bleed. It is disrespectful." Su Ren could only find a new seat and sit down, and asked Ying Guangji: "That's right.
Well, didn’t you leave? How come things are done?”
"That's right!" Ying Guangji moved his body to make himself more comfortable.
"What about you? Why are you here?" Su Ren asked Mo Yu again: "Are your two stupid apprentices here too?" Mo Yu rolled his eyes and did not answer. Su Ren smiled awkwardly and looked around.
He looked around and said, "You're all here for me? Oops! How can I be so virtuous and talented that I can actually work for three great men? It shows that I am quite popular, eh! It's indeed good! Congratulations!"
"Humph! Don't be so slutty here!" Mo Yu finally said: "To tell you the truth, there is a group of elite soldiers under siege at the bottom of the mountain. They will rush up at dawn and everyone will get the loot. You are really in trouble this time."
"Whose person?"
Mo Yu shook his head: "I don't know, I don't have a banner, and I don't know anyone. It could be anyone."
Ying Guangji sneered and said: "No matter who you are, they are all Liu's children. Without his approval, mobilizing more than fifty people is treason. It seems that your emperor friends no longer trust you. I also found that the military
There are a lot of siege equipment and even kerosene. It’s not like we’re trying to save you, but we’re trying to make you die here with us.”
Jingjing immediately stood up and walked out the door. In a short time, he heard the sound of people and horses mobilizing. Although Jingjing brought all the good horse thieves this time, they still had some disadvantages against the Han soldiers. One must be a soldier and the other a horse thief.
, and in such a small area, there is only one outcome for a horse thief entangled by soldiers, and that is death!
In a short time, Jingju came back angrily, and roared as soon as he entered the door: "Damn it, these guys have planned it for a long time, and they didn't even show any trace. This group of losers, they were all under their noses and they didn't notice it. Damn it."
, it seems that grandpa has neglected his discipline! We need to talk to him carefully when we go back this time!" He turned to Su Ren and asked: "What should I do now? I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave!"
Su Ren smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, how could you just leave like this before you figure out who is going to kill me?"
Chatting requires topics, and they are not heavy topics. The current situation is not a topic for chatting. Four people represent four camps and there is no common topic, so we can only sit around. The wine is not a good wine, and it tastes a bit bland.
The food was really hard to swallow, and the thorns were not moved, let alone the others. The four grown men drank sips of wine, and then stared in a daze with big eyes and small eyes.
Su Ren was the first one to fall asleep. He was really sleepy. He had been tormented by thorns all night last night, so he had to sleep for a while today anyway. As for what would happen when he fell asleep, there were so many capable people that he didn't need to worry about.
.I don’t know how long I slept. Su Ren stretched himself, shook his neck twice, and yawned again, and then he woke up.
It had dawned early, and the sun had risen. Only Ying Guangji was left in the temple. Thorns should have gone to the mountainside, where his brothers were stationed. Mo Yu had disappeared.
"Are you awake? Did you sleep well?"
"It's okay! The pile of hay is not a bed after all. I feel uncomfortable all over."
"Do you want to know the current situation?"
"Say what you want to say."
Ying Guangji smiled: "The soldiers at the foot of the mountain did not attack. Instead, they sent someone to shout that if they don't hand you over before noon, they will attack the mountain! Jingjie has already gone to see you. Your Mohist friend left in the middle of the night without saying he was going.
What are you doing? I think I went to find someone for help, but I guess I won’t be back before noon.”
"What about you? What did you do all morning?"
"Nothing has been done! This Thorn has become more and more stingy after he became a horse thief. He didn't even care about breakfast, and he drank all the wine. I threw away the food last night, and now he can only starve."
"Why don't you leave?"
"Why should I leave? Those people are not here for me. It's not too late to leave after seeing the excitement."
The two of them were talking when Jijiji came back from outside covered in dust. The look on his forehead showed that he had not had an easy night. He sat down, grabbed the water bag behind him and drank it together. After taking a deep breath, he said:
: "Those brats, just beat them if you want. They are really stingy to wait and see! But you guys have done a good job in the big man in the past few years. It seems that the big man is really rich. A soldier like this is actually covered with iron armor. If you do it,
There's some trouble!"
"And the road down the mountain has been blocked. There is only one way to go. I will open the way later. You kid, follow me closely!" Jingji glanced at Su Ren: "It's not good! The spies who came back said that those people have already started.
If you pour fire oil on the trees, everything will be burned with just one fire this season."
Ying Guangji slowly pointed at Su Ren and said to the thorns: "Why don't you hand him over?"
Su Ren also nodded: "Yes, they won't make things difficult for you if you hand me over. What they want is me!"
"Nonsense, when did I, Jingjiang, hand over my brothers?" Jingjiang jumped up, patted his chest and said loudly: "Unless grandpa is dead, no one can take grandpa's brothers away!"
Ying Guangji shook his head: "Then we can only die in battle! The Royal Forest Army is not comparable to ordinary soldiers!"
"The Imperial Guards? You said those guys at the foot of the mountain are the Imperial Guards?" Jingjia asked in surprise: "How could they be the Imperial Guards? The Imperial Guards protect the emperor. Could it be that the emperor wants Brother Su to die?"
Ying Guangji glanced at Su Ren: "It might not have happened before, but it may not happen now, especially after I heard that some people came to rescue me from thousands of miles away, some even risked their lives to inform them, and some even abandoned their own clansmen to come and snatch his subordinates.
After becoming a general, ordinary people will have all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, let alone the emperor." Ying Guangji looked up at the sky and was silent for a long time. After a long time, he sighed: "The emperor is a strange animal.
Things can change everywhere! I find it incredible that Liu's son has trusted you for so many years! The elders of the clan once said that when the second son ascended the throne, the appearance in the palace was the most terrifying in the world."
Jingji and Su Ren were both silent. Who among them knew the emperor best, it was naturally Ying Guangji. Although Ying Guangji had never been an emperor, he was raised completely according to the emperor's standards and acted coldly.
It is the temperament of an emperor to only seek results. In order to cultivate the imperial attributes of Ying Guangji, the descendants of Qin even sacrifice themselves. This is also a requirement of an emperor.
Jingji stood up and patted Ying Guangji on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's better now! You can do whatever you want, no longer need to worry about the opinions of others!"
Ying Guangji responded with a smile: "Well said! Let's go and have a look. Those people are probably done waiting!"
The two stood up immediately, but Su Ren remained sitting still, staring straight at the woods in the distance. He didn't hear a word of the conversation between the two. Ying Guangji seemed to have guessed what Su Ren was thinking, and stopped the thorns.
No one came to disturb him. Su Ren had now reached a crossroads, and he needed to think about which way to go. If he went the right way, he would be rich and carefree, but if he went the wrong way, he would be in doom.
Su Ren still listened to Ying Guangji's words. In this era when the emperor is heaven and god, the life and death of all people in the world are in the hands of the emperor. Whoever the emperor likes will immediately achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven, and chickens and dogs will also benefit from it.
If the emperor hates someone, no matter how much he hates him, as long as he shows his dislike, he will be the enemy of the whole world, and everyone will kill him.
Liu Che is an emperor, and he is also a human being. A human being has emotions, sorrows and joys, and a human being has to think and ponder. He, Su Ren, has a mysterious origin. In just over ten years, he has gone through a road that no one has ever walked in a lifetime. Think about it, think about it,
Perhaps only Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty could come close to him. How could a person who was even more evil than the founding emperor not be feared by the emperor?
Noon is the hottest time of the day, and the sun is right above your head. Now it’s late autumn, and you can’t feel the heat when the sun shines on your body. The noise down the mountain is getting louder and louder. Ying Guangji is right, those people are really
They knew how to attack the mountain, whether they came to save Su Ren or to kill Su Ren. Su Ren took a deep breath, tidied his clothes, and started walking down the mountain.
A big flag, a five-clawed golden dragon flag fluttering in the wind. This is the emperor's flag. Could it be that Emperor Liu Che came from Chang'an? Su Ren quickened his pace. Liu Che was his brother, and Thorns was also his brother. Who could he help in a fight?
So it's best not to fight. He doesn't want to embarrass himself. (To be continued)
