Chapter 138: Death in court, life in Suzaku
The only reason why Zhang Mengzi and He Liuzi were called men in black was because the army did not want them.
Everyone feels at ease when they become bandits without any repentance. If such a bastard enters the army, he will spoil the pot of soup like a rat.
Of course, their lack of combat power is also one aspect.
These bastards are good at fighting bad battles, assassinations, plunders, and sneak attacks. Let them go to the battlefield in an upright manner...just like what they are getting now.
As soon as he rushed down the hillside fiercely, he was tied tightly by flying weights thrown out of the smoke.
The flying weight is a very simple thing. It is just two stones connected with a rope. Once this thing is thrown out, the two stones will tighten the rope and fly around in the air. , as long as they encounter obstacles, they will twist together fiercely, and finally form a binding-like effect.
This thing is more often used on the limbs of horses during cavalry battles. This time, they are facing people on horses.
Therefore, when Zhang Mencius and others were tied into human sticks by flying weights, this cavalry passed through them unscathed.
After the smoke and dust cleared, Zhang Mengzi spit out a mouthful of sand, sat on the horse and twisted his body vigorously, and then shook off the flying weight from his body.
After watching this group of cavalry go away, the situation became even more embarrassing. Zhang Mencius said to the other old Yushan thieves: "If anyone dares to speak out about what happened today, I will skin him."
He Liuzi pointed at the cavalry who were leaving and said, "What if they said that?"
Zhang Mengzi reached out and pinched He Liuzi's throat and said, "I still want to peel you off." "It's so embarrassing... I haven't even seen him in person."
He Liuzi squeaked: "They are regular troops, we are just bandits, it is not shameful to lose."
"We are the people in black!"
"A group of people who look after the young master's home..."
"Fuck you, grandma, we are here It’s too embarrassing to go to the Phoenix Mountain Camp.”
“Boss, no need. I heard that good people will lose half their lives if they go in. We are the young master’s servants, so we don’t need to learn from those regular soldiers. ?
You just have to pity me. I will retire in half a year. The young lady has promised to let me take care of the stable. Good times are ahead.”
“Get out of here. Damn it, if we lose face, we will lose the face of the young master. If we don’t practice hard, how can we live a good life in the future? ”
That’s it. , Zhang Mencius had no shame to enter Mianchi, so he led his men straight to Tongguan.
Mianchi has always been a good place for alliance gatherings.
So, when Haechi and Suzaku met, both of them were extremely emotional.
"Sun Chuanting has died in the battle, right?" Suzaku asked Haizhi after taking a sip of wine.
獬Zhi nodded and said: "Died in the rebel army and was trampled to a pulp by war horses. Ruzhou villagers witnessed it with his own eyes!"
"Two thousand cavalry were used for one Sun Chuanting for no reason..."
p>"These two thousand cavalry were already monitoring Li Hongji's army nearby. They were just on their way to do this."
"That's good, that's good. Sun Chuanting is dead, but there are so many people in the world." I got a Suzaku, and some people heard that the Suzaku is one of the four spirits in the sky. It is the god of the south who represents Emperor Yan and the seven constellations in the south. It is separated from the Eight Diagrams and controls the fire in the Five Elements. Will there be such a name?
Does it mean that I am going to the south? ”
Haizhi nodded: “That’s true!”
“South to what?” To what extent?"
"One day, he will be promoted to the Nine Heavens, and at night he will be demoted to Chaoyang Road."
"So, I want to follow the old path of Han Yu and Han Changli?"
p>"Same, but different. Han Changli went to Chaoyang for the end, and Suzaku went to Chaoyang for the new life."
"I had promised before that I could serve as the magistrate of Chang'an County and go to Zhongnan Mountain to study. Drinking wine, drinking tea, and sleeping."
"That was before my brother took refuge. At that time, I naturally picked it up. Now, my brother has no choice, so he naturally needs to do as he pleases."
"As a northerner, what can I do in Chaoyang?"
"Supervise one person!"
"Who?"
"Shi Lang, a rare water warrior."
"How much power?"
"Shi Lang controls the sea, my brother controls Shi Lang!"
" He is just a warrior, does he need such a large battle?"
"Shi Lang is going to Chaoyang, Guanzhong has prepared 2.2 million silver coins for him, 61 graduates of Yushan Academy, Phoenix There are 2 out of 500 born in Shanda Camp. The Secret Service Department dispatches 19 spies, the Government Affairs Department dispatches 28 professionals, the Military Affairs Department dispatches 77 trainees, the Secretary supervises four observers, and the Legal Affairs Department dispatches There are three judges.
My brother is in charge of everyone except the soldiers.
It can be said that whenever there is an emergency in Chaozhou, my brother can make a decision. "
Zhuque sighed and said: "When I was the governor, I never had such authority."
Xie Zhi raised his glass and said: "Otherwise, how could I say this? Is this your new life? If my brother can concentrate on his work, he can look forward to it!"
Suzaku said solemnly: "When will we set off?"
Xie Zhi was surprised. He asked: "Aren't you going to meet Mrs. Sister-in-law?"
Zhuque shook his head and said: "How can a defeated general have the dignity to return home? Let her think that I am dead."
Haezhi smiled and said: "It's not as dark as you think. Madam-in-law should already know that you are safe and sound by now."
Suzaku drank up the wine in the glass and said: "Please ask Brother Lu to send me there now." Chaozhou, just think that once I was defeated, I was relegated to Chaoyang eight thousand miles by the emperor."
"My brother's heart.Is there still a Ming Emperor in China?
Zhuque shook his head and said: "The kindness of the emperor and his ministers has disappeared. From now on, there will only be Zhuque in the world, and there will be no Sun Chuanting."
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "It's okay, it's a good thing to go to Chaozhou quietly. At least, you won't hear those annoying gossips. The car is ready. My brother has had this drink." Wine, just travel far. "
Zhuque watched Lu Xiangsheng refill his wine, then raised his glass and said: "I just hope that this new world will not disappoint me. ”
After drinking the wine, Suzaku got into a carriage. The old servant who accompanied him was still the same, but Suzaku was full of emotion. The old servant’s face was red and the ditch was full of food.
When Shi Lang saw Yun Zhao, the legendary Guanzhong warrior, the two looked at each other for a long time.
Shi Lang slowly knelt down on one knee and saluted Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao looked very tired. He looked at Shi Lang with reddish eyes and said, "I will remember this prayer in my heart. ”
Shi Lang cupped his hands and said, “With this bow, I surrender my life to the county magistrate.”
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Your life is not entrusted to me, but to my eight million old Qin people. At the same time, the lives of eight million old Qin people are also shouldered by you." on the body.
Everything you do is not only responsible for me, Yun Zhao, but also for the eight million old Qin people.
They are willing to believe in you, are willing to entrust the maritime affairs to you, and are willing to entrust their children to you. Please also believe in them. This is very important.
Shi Lang, cherish them, love them, don’t betray their trust, and don’t waste their lives.
It’s not that they can’t die, they are willing to die for their ideals.
It’s just that their death must be valuable. "
Shi Lang's other knee finally bent, and he knelt down on the bluestone floor. He kowtowed heavily and said, "I will never let you down!"
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "After this bow, you will never have to kneel to anyone except the ancestors of heaven and earth in this life." "
Shi Lang nodded and said: "Here! "
When Shi Lang stood up, Yun Zhao took a pile of documents and a seal from Liucheng's hand, put it in Shi Lang's hand and said: "Han Xiufen is competing with other countries in the world on the high seas. A strong helper is needed.
Organize a fleet as soon as possible, I am not worried about her wandering the ocean alone.
Everything you want is in these documents, and there are enough manpower for you to dispatch. In addition, I have also equipped you with a deputy-named Suzaku!
He is an old official with a gentle temperament and extremely rich experience. Except for military dispatch, he can be entrusted to his hands.
If you have any doubts, you can always ask him for advice. "
Shi Lang whispered: "I won't dare to violate it.
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "He has failed you too much in matters at sea. Therefore, as long as the fleet goes to sea, you will be respected, and when it reaches land, he will be the leader. This is Lantian's military regulations. Do you know no? ”
Shi Langdao: "It's already clear. In the Lantian Army, the chief general is in charge of the battle, and the deputy general is in charge of the return."
Yun Zhao nodded with a smile and said, "Do you have any doubts? If so, , just say it, I will explain it to you one by one."
Shi Lang hesitated and said: "The Secretary and Supervisor of the Political Affairs Department have already explained a lot, and Shi Lang has a general understanding, but... just... "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "I'll come as soon as possible."
Shi Lang gritted his teeth and said: "The military affairs are urgent. Shi Lang wants to rush to Chaozhou as soon as possible to make preparations, but I'm afraid it will be delayed. The noble daughter of the Yun family."
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "This kind of thing is your personal matter. You should ask Yun Feng, not me."
Shi Lang said again. He cupped his hands and said: "In that case, Shi Lang has no problem."
Yun Zhao stood up, turned around the table, took Shi Lang's hand and said: "Take care, don't talk about life and death lightly, we all have to save our lives, Let’s see if the new world we created is worth the effort.”
Shi Lang walked out of the big study with heavy steps. When he looked back, he found Yun Zhao standing under the old persimmon tree. Set out to see him off.
For some reason, Shi Lang's eyes were so hot that he resisted the pain coming from his nose and strode away. He knew very well how heavy the documents he held in his arms were.
If nothing else, just this trust made Shi Lang think deeply about this person.
"You said the same thing to me some time ago."
Under the bright moon, Han Lingshan raised his glass to invite the moon and mocked Shi Lang fiercely.
Yunfeng filled Shi Lang's wine glass with a smile, then knelt down and sat by the side obediently without saying a word. Even the beaded hairpin on her bun reflected the dim light in the moonlight.
Shi Lang looked at the beaded hairpin and raised his glass and said to Han Lingshan: "I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. You are different from the county magistrate. I owe you my life at most. If you want it, just say something and I will pay you back.
p>
I feel that I owe the county magistrate more than I can repay with my life."
Han Lingshan smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. He is just such a person. As long as you follow him." If you deal with him, you will unknowingly owe him a lot of things.
Did you know that when he bought me, he spent forty fucking pounds of rice...
I don’t even know how much money I made for him, how many sworn enemies I killed, and how much I paid him back more than a million catties of millet... It was useless. Until now, I found that I owed him more and more.
You owed him so much from the beginning... Oh my God, how can you pay it off?"
Hearing this, Yunfeng looked at Shi Lang and said, "I am not your brother's. , I did it voluntarily."
Hearing this, Han Lingshan's eyes widened and he looked at Yunfeng, whom he didn't recognize. He wanted to sigh, but found that Yunfeng took a very large one from behind. The big burden was given to Shi Lang.
After thinking for a while, he took off the beaded hairpin from his head, put it in Shi Lang's hand and said, "You are in trouble now, I will give it to you."I prepared some clothes and money, and two pairs of shoes based on the footprints you left that day. I don’t know if they will fit.
This beaded hairpin is my most beloved thing. Keep it by your side and take it out to look at when you are lonely. "
Shi Lang stared at Yunfeng for a moment, then he happily put the pearl hairpin into his arms, put the big baggage behind him, and said to Yunfeng: "Pour the wine! "
Yunfeng filled Han Lingshan and Shi Lang's glasses with wine again.
Shi Lang raised his glass and said to Han Lingshan: "When I come to Guanzhong, it's like entering Baoshan. Thank you Han Lingshan. Recommended by my brother. "
Han Lingshan's eyes fell on Yunfeng and he said casually: "It should be. ”
