Xing stood up, patted the dirt on his body, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and asked coldly: "You are right, do you want to capture me to receive the reward?" Zhao Fu said nothing.
He still had a straight face and said solemnly: "My mission is to escort Ma Fuzi and ensure his safety. I will live and die with him. Catching thieves is not my mission, but I still want to tell you one thing.
.”
"Please tell me."
"If you come to worship a friend like this again, please inform Ma Fuzi in advance. Ma Fuzi has great trust in you, but how can you not make people suspicious when you act in such a sneaky way? Ma Fuzi doesn't
He is not a stupid person. He must have known your identity for a long time. If you hide it, it means that you don't trust Ma Fuzi. I heard that if a king treats his ministers as his brothers and feet, then his ministers will treat him as his heart. Now you are here
As a minister, if you don’t regard you as your heart and soul, how can you let Ma Fuzi treat you as a brother?”
Xing put down his hand on the hilt of the sword, bowed to Fu Zhao, and then turned around and left.
Zhao Fu watched him leave, looked at the tombs here again, and followed Xing out of here.
Zhao Kuo slowly opened his eyes. The early morning sunlight was blocked by the leaves and appeared in fragments on his face, forming light spots. Zhao Kuo sat up and was startled. Fortunately, he was standing not far away.
Waiting for him to wake up, Zhao Kuo hurriedly sat up, yawned again, and then asked with a smile: "Xing, what are you doing here?" Xing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "
I have something to tell Shaojun."
"Please tell me."
"Back then, I committed a crime and hid in the Taihang Mountains. I became a bandit in the Taihang Mountains. I was ambushed and the bandits killed me. I was the only one who escaped. If I hadn't been taken in by Shaojun..." Fortunately, I haven't been there yet.
After saying that, Zhao Kuo stood up and said, "Come with me to have a meal first. I've been hungry all night." He took Xing and sat at a bonfire not far away. It was still early morning in the mountains.
A little cold.
"I heard that Shun was originally a farmer who worked in the fields, Fu Shi was a builder of walls, Jiao Ke was a merchant selling fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was a sinner, and Baili Xi was even a slave. Mencius said: A person
, you often make mistakes so that you can correct them. You are confused and blocked in your heart. Only then can you know what to do. If you made mistakes in the past, didn’t you get an opportunity to correct them? From this point of view, you should be happy.
Ah." Zhao Kuo took a bite of meat and said with a smile.
Fortunately, he was a little surprised. He didn't know all the characters Shaojun mentioned, but he still knew about Shun, Guan Zhong, and Baili Xi. Guan Zhong turned out to be a sinner... He didn't know these things.
With Zhao Kuo's persuasion, most of the hatred and shame in his heart for the past had dissipated. When he was about to say something, Zhao Kuo lowered his voice and urged: "You haven't persuaded me to eat it yet.
This is not enough!"
Xing finally showed a knowing smile and shouted loudly: "Please take another bite!"
Looking at the big boy in front of him who took another bite of meat and then continued to look at him eagerly, he knew fortunately that this was the person he would help throughout his life, the person he could share life and death with.
Xing suddenly seemed to have changed. To the people traveling with him, he was no longer so indifferent and difficult to approach. He would occasionally chat with these people about interesting things in the Taihang Mountains, and there would be a smile on his face. The convoy gradually moved towards
After crossing the Taihang Mountains, the distance to Pingshun is no longer so far.
.........
Yangchangpo is so named because the mountains are rugged and winding, resembling a sheep intestine. It is the most dangerous section of the Taihang Mountains, with mountains and mountains, ravines and sheer cliffs. The closer Zhao Kuo and others got here,
, the more you can feel the horror here, with towering ancient cypresses, tigers and leopards blocking the road, eerie fear, this is the sheep intestine described by Xing, the original sheep intestine, even the carriage could not pass, it was the
The merchants carved out a path abruptly.
They cut down a lot of trees and hired people to hunt tigers and leopards, but these still did not weaken the horror of this road.
From here, across the deep valley to the east is Tianling, across the river to the west is Banjiuling. To the south you can see the foothills of the mountains, and to the north you can see the high mountains and green sky. It is an important road that can be guarded by one person and cannot be opened by ten thousand people. It can be called Beijing
The Zhao State once sent people to set up sentries at the throat of the Luoyang Road. However, they were frequently attacked by ferocious beasts and later a group of thieves caused trouble, so they were abandoned. Fortunately, after gradually approaching Yangchangpo, he was much more careful, and he was at the front
Open the road and carefully observe the surrounding situation.
Halfway up Yangchangpo, it is as if a road has been cut out of the mountains. There are straight slopes at both ends of the road, and a narrow and deep road winds through the mountains. However, on the road
On the hillsides on both sides, there were hundreds of people lying down at the moment. These people were motionless and did not even poke their heads out. Only their leader would poke his head out from time to time to look at the road ahead.
While he was waiting, a man suddenly bent over and trotted over from behind him. He hurriedly fell beside him, lowered his voice and said in a fluent Tobu accent: "You can already see the smoke. They will probably be there today."
We have to walk into Yangchangpo!"
The leader was a majestic man with a long beard. After hearing his words, he hurriedly grabbed his collar and asked viciously: "Are you sure you saw the smoke? Is it them?"
"I can guarantee with my life that it is definitely them. Not to mention that there are no people in Taihang Mountain. They are the only ones who can light so many bonfires." The spy was not afraid and said seriously. The leader Song Song
Opening his clothes, he gritted his teeth and said: "We finally arrived. I thought they died halfway, but they walked for such a long time?! If the Zhao soldiers in Changping really relied on
Without his food, he would have starved to death!"
These were spies sent by the Qin people. They were afraid that they would miss the opportunity and came here early. However, they did not expect that the mountain roads here were very difficult to walk. More than a dozen good warriors fell off the cliff and died. Later, they were constantly attacked by ferocious beasts.
After attacking and clearing many ferocious beasts, they waited here. Because they were worried that Zhao Kuo would not be far away from them, the leader was not allowed to cook, so they could only eat cold food and endure the severe cold in the mountains.
, lying here waiting in fear.
They couldn't even remember how many times they scolded Zhao Kuo! They wished they could rush into the Taihang Mountains and run here with Zhao Kuo on their backs!
The leader gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Zhao Kuo, this arrogant man, his reputation is all given to him by us. This time, it is time for him to repay his kindness. After killing his followers, I must let him
Kneel down and beg me for mercy, and thank me for my great kindness!" The spies on the side also said angrily: "These damn Zhao people dare to move so slowly in transporting grain! If they were in Da Qin, these people could be killed.
Ten times over!"
The leader asked displeasedly: "What Da Qin? We are Lord Pingyuan's disciples. We came here to avenge Lord Pingyuan because he was humiliated!"
"Send people to investigate at all times. In addition, tell the second and third sons that Zhao Kuo is finally coming. They have traveled a long way here and are exhausted physically and mentally. Not to mention that they are about to leave Taihang Mountain. They will definitely put down their guard and let the second and third sons prepare to capture Zhao Kuo.
After completing these things, all participants will be promoted to two knights!" After hearing his words, even the spy was too excited to speak and nodded hurriedly.
When the Qin people who were ambushing here heard about this, their expressions were indeed extremely excited. They were no longer as tired and irritable as before. They stared at the road in the distance with murderous intent, with a ferocious smile on their faces. The leader looked at
With their expressions, they nodded, and then looked disdainfully into the distance. It was just a plum that they held up. In the past, they would praise this plum in front of others against their will, and they felt very disgusted in their hearts. Today, they finally washed away this
It’s time for everything!
In front of Yangchang Slope, Xing suddenly stopped. He stood close to a big tree, squinting his eyes and looking at the situation in the distance. During his years of being a bandit, he had escaped several encirclements and suppressions by the soldiers.
and ambush, which made him very vigilant, but now, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He was very familiar with the place Yangchangpo. He had led his people to set up an ambush here to attack passing business travelers.
There are many wild beasts here, and the sounds of various birds are never cut off. At this moment, it is too quiet, just like when I set up an ambush. Xing hurriedly waved his hand behind him, and the knight in the distance saw him.
With this move, he hurriedly rode towards the rear. Xing hurriedly lay down on the side, picked some grass from in front of him, and applied it on his face. He also carefully found some soft branches and leaves, and wrapped it around his body.
On the body.
Then, he crawled in the grass, like a flexible snake, crawling and swimming forward quickly. Fortunately, he suddenly stopped and looked at the weeds in front of him seriously. There were several trampling marks on the weeds.
If you look carefully, you won't be able to see it. He looked at the trampled marks, judged the size, and swam in another direction.
"Let us stop?" Zhao Kuo looked at the knight in front of him with some doubts, and then looked at Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu frowned and ordered: "Tell everyone to stop and rest." Zhao Kuo looked into the distance and suddenly said: "Let everyone light a fire and make smoke. The smoke cannot be cut off."
