Chapter 60: The Way of Reward and Punishment

Gongye Qian never expected that before leaving the Great Song Dynasty, he would be able to see Murong Fu again. Of course, this meeting was not what he expected, because he was knocked unconscious and kidnapped.

The first thing Gong Yeqian saw when he regained consciousness from the darkness was the flickering candlelight in the hall, and he moved his sore hands and feet, slowly got up, and noticed that the place he was now in was a large stone house.

There were no doors or windows around the stone house, only a skylight on the roof, and the cold moonlight leaked obliquely through the walls beside it. Due to the poor lighting, several large candles were lit around the stone house. However, the stone house is too big after all, and a few candles are better than nothing, and although the stone house is not so far out of sight, it is never brightly lit. On the contrary, the faint candlelight dragged out several deformed shadows under the blowing of the cold wind, reflecting the whole stone house very eerie, and it was so oppressive that people did not even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere. In the empty stone house, there was only a chair and nothing else, and the walls around it were extremely thick, and the roof was about two feet high, and Gong Yeqian believed that even if he shouted in his throat inside the room, he would not hear the slightest sound outside.

Gongye Qianzheng didn't know what to do, but he saw a wall slowly move away, and it was Murong Fu who appeared with Deng Baichuan and Feng Bo Evil. And behind these three people, there was also a tall, dark-skinned Kunlun slave.

Gongye Qian was stunned when he saw the Kunlun slave, and then asked in humiliation and anger: "What does Gongye mean by this?" It turned out that it was this person who sneaked up on him with four men in black, and those five were not his opponents alone, but once they formed a formation, they only used ten moves to knock him out. Although the five men were masked, Gong Yeqian recognized their particularly tall statures and dark complexions.

Seeing Gongyeqian's disrespectful attitude, Deng Baichuan frowned slightly. Murong Fu was unmoved, sat on the throne with a calm expression, and said to Gongye: "Taishan is a warrior that I have recruited in the Zhulin Kingdom, and I have never had the opportunity to introduce you to each other. ”

As soon as Murong Fu's words fell, the black warrior known as "Taishan" knelt down in front of Murong Fu, touched the ground in front of Murong Fu's feet with his lips, and replied loudly in an extremely awkward tone: "The villain's life was saved by the master, and the master helped my king to extinguish the rebellion, and the villain's life and glory belong to the master!" "The warriors of the Zhu Yuan Kingdom used bows and arrows and spears as weapons, and they were always brave and good at fighting, and they regarded death as if they were at home, and Murong Fu won the loyalty of a hundred Zhu Yuan soldiers on the condition of helping their prince seize the throne. These warriors are all black people, and the travel is very eye-catching, Murong Fu only left thirty people around to secretly protect them, and the remaining seventy people were all allocated to Su Mai for use. Because Murong Fu was low-key, for the time being, only those who had gone to sea with him knew about the turmoil and evil of the Zhuyuan country.

Murong Fu waved his hand carelessly and ordered Taishan to retreat. Gongye Qian saw that the atmosphere was calm, Deng Baichuan and the turmoil were evil, and he didn't dare to say a word, he finally came to his senses, tried his best to calm down, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what crime my subordinates have committed, and I have wronged my son?" ”

Murong Fu saw that Gongye Qian finally realized the strength and weakness of the form, and smiled lightly, and then said with a straight face: "Second brother Gongye, the biological father of the reinstated official died early, and the mother was a daughter, if it were not for the second brother of Gongye's careful teaching, the reinstatement would not be where it is today." ”

Gongye Qian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Murong Fu to mention these for no reason. After a while, he bowed down and replied, "Childe's words are serious. ”

"It's important to say that it's better to treat me with kindness than the second brother of Gongye." Murong Fu said softly, "My boxing technique is taught by the second brother, the family business of the Murong family, thanks to the second brother's painstaking management and preservation, the second brother is indeed loyal to my Murong family." ”

Gongye Qian's eyes were hot, and he replied: "It turns out that the prince still remembers." ”

"For the great cause of my Murong family's restoration of the country, the second brother sneaked into the Xia Kingdom alone, and I don't know how many dangers he has experienced. This time, in order to protect the land of Wuqi, the second brother conspired with me to make a show, and I am afraid that it will also be evil. Murong Fu sighed.

Gongye Qian waved his hand and said in a dumb voice: "As long as the great cause of the prince is successful, what is the sinister nature of his subordinates!" ”

Gongye Qian's words were sincere, but Murong Fu was not interested in playing a game with him, but asked: "I have always remembered the kindness of the second brother to me. Over the years, what has not been done enough to reinstate the second brother? ”

Gongye Qian was stunned again, and hurriedly said: "Why did the prince say this? The prince treats his subordinates like siblings! Gongye Qian knew in his heart that Murong Fu had always been polite and polite to his brothers, not only had he never treated him badly, but he had given him a lot of money after entering the business. Now, with his wealth, he is not rich enough to rival the country, but he has no worries about eating, drinking, and enjoying his life. Although it was dangerous to infiltrate the Xia Kingdom, Murong Fu also sent a lot of people to help him, and Gongye Qian was confident that even if he was discovered, he would be able to return to the Great Song Dynasty safely. It was this time that Murong Fu also sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to bribe him.

Murong Fu nodded, and said: "After my mother passed away, you disobeyed my order for the first time and killed Gui's mother's entire family. When I entered the business, you were also dissatisfied, but the Murong family has made profits over the years, and I have not lost a penny of the profit that should be given to you. In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, we went to the Western Army to watch the battle situation, and you fought against me everywhere, until you lost the bet to me, and Fang made an oath that only my life would follow. Can I frame you for these things? ”

Gongye Qian didn't know why Murong Fu suddenly turned over the old accounts, it can be seen that his expression was cold, not angry, and he couldn't help but be covered with cold sweat, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and called with difficulty: "Son, ......" Gongye Qian knew that Murong Fu had a stoic temperament, and he wanted to settle accounts, and he was afraid that no one would be able to stop him.

Murong Fu was indifferent, and only asked in a cold voice: "Do you remember the oath of that day?" ”

"Childe!" Gong Yeqian shouted again.

"Say!" Murong Fu shouted angrily, interrupting Gongye Qian's pleading that he was about to exit.

Gongye's dry tongue was burning and sweating like rain, and Fang said dryly for a long time: "My subordinates have ...... He once swore that from now on, only the prince and the horse will look forward, and if there is the slightest violation of the order, it will be like ...... It's like ...... Steel knife in two sections. ”

"Good!" Murong Fu nodded expressionlessly, leaned in the chair and asked slowly. "I'm asking you now, where is Li Yanzong? Is his family the one I want you to kill? ”

Gongye Qian couldn't answer anymore, only touched the ground with his head, and the originally dry ground immediately showed a shallow watermark.

Deng Baichuan, who was standing beside Murong Fu, and Feng Bo Evil were about to kneel down to intercede for Gongye Qian, but Murong Fu had already stopped them with a wave of his hand, and asked sharply: "Second Brother Gongye, you have repeatedly disobeyed my orders over the years, I think I am not talented, and I am not qualified to make Gongye Second Brother serve me as my lord and serve me?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare!" Gongye Qian said continuously.

"Don't dare?" Murong Fu only sneered, "Gongye Qian, have I rewarded you for your merits over the years, but I have never laughed at your mistakes?" ”

Gongye Qian was silent for a long time, and finally slowly burst out: "...... Be! ”

"But if I am lenient everywhere, you will disobey orders everywhere, and even the vows you have made can be regarded as farts. You come to sue me, what should I do now? Murong Fu said again.

Gongye Qian's heart was miserable, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "Gongye Qian, capital crime...... Capital crime! ”

As soon as he said this, Deng Baichuan and the evil storm couldn't hold back anymore, and at the same time knelt down in front of Murong Fu to plead for mercy. "Please be gracious!" I don't know the cause of the turmoil, and my expression is still a little ignorant. Deng Baichuan was so anxious that his eyes were red, he couldn't have imagined that what Gongzi Ye said would be with Gongye to discuss Li Yanzong, so he didn't have to ask, it was so powerful.

"Gongye Qian, you are the humerus left to me by my father, it should be the biggest help for me to revive Dayan, can I bear to fold my arms to help?" Murong Fu turned a deaf ear and didn't take Deng Baichuan's evil words to heart. "But you repeatedly disobey orders, and if you don't deal with it, how can I obey the public?" He threw a dagger in his hand and finally spoke. "Gongye Qian, you cut yourself!"

"Childe!" Deng Baichuan screamed and grabbed Murong Fu's robe, "Gongye Qian is just confused for a while, please remember the friendship in the past......" Halfway through the words, Deng Baichuan couldn't say any more, just because Murong Fu didn't pay attention to him for half a minute, and his cold eyes only looked at Gongye Qian calmly, without the slightest emotion in his eyes, as if he was already a dead man.

In the past two years, he has followed Murong Fu to the seven seas, but he knows Murong Fu better than Deng Baichuan and others. He knew that Murong Fu's decision could not be changed, but he and Gongye were in the same relationship and could not ignore it, and he knew that he could not speak, so he simply kowtowed heavily in the hope that Murong Fu would be a little soft-hearted.

Gong Yeqian's face was already pale, and a chaotic voice slowly faded away, leaving only himself and the dagger in front of him in his world. Perhaps, there were those eyes that looked at him condescendingly from a distance. What kind of eyes are they? Cold, ruthless, and penetrating, it seems that you can see through your thoughts and thoughts at a glance, teaching people to be irresistible and have nowhere to escape.

I don't know how long it took, Gong Yeqian exhaled with difficulty, stretched out his hand and held the dagger tightly. He raised his head, glanced at Deng Baichuan and Feng Bo Evil dismally, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, fourth brother, the prince will be handed over to you in the future!" After that, he didn't wait for the two of them to react, and raised his hand to pierce his heart!

"Second brother!"

"Second brother!"

Deng Baichuan cried at the same time as the turmoil.

Between the lightning and flint, Murong Fu, who was originally sitting in the chair, suddenly flashed and fell in front of Gong Yeqian. I saw that he clasped Gong Yeqian's right wrist tightly, and pressed his left hand to the ground. Under the bright candle flame, the silver knife light crossed an arc in mid-air, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", and Gong Yeqian's left index finger was instantly separated from the palm.

After doing this, Murong Fu casually threw aside the dagger he had snatched from Gongye Qian's palm, and said slowly: "Gong Ye Qian, you should know that this is the last chance!" From beginning to end, his expression was always calm and normal, as if it was not Gongyeqian's finger that he had just chopped off, but a piece of radish.

Gongye was also stiff, trembling and holding the severed finger, he didn't even moan/groan half a sound, and breathed in the cold air and spit out the words with difficulty: "Master Xie!" He was only secretly glad that Fang Cai had never thought of anything else, with Murong Fu's current martial arts, killing him was like crushing an ant to death!

"That's it!" Murong Fu let out a long sigh, "From now on, the people lurking in the Xia Kingdom will contact me directly. Gongye Qian, you are so self-sufficient! After that, Murong Fu didn't look at Gongye Qian again, and walked straight away. He could kill Gongyeqian, but he didn't want to let the other three retainers be separated from him because of Gongyeqian's death.

As soon as Murong Fu left, Deng Baichuan and Feng Bo Evil pounced on him, and hurriedly tore off the corners of his robe to bandage him.

"Big brother, fourth brother, I'm fine!" Gongye's face turned pale in pain, but he still tried to squeeze out a smile. Although his ten fingers were connected to his heart, Gong Yeqian's mind was not confused by the pain. He knew that Gongzi Ye had taken the people lurking in the Xia Kingdom into his hands, not to prevent him from killing innocents indiscriminately, but to prevent him from rebelling.

The storm gritted his teeth and didn't speak, but Deng Baichuan sighed and said: "Second brother, the son is eloquent and has clear rewards and punishments, and he can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, you ......"

Gongyeqian's face changed, and he said for a while: "Big brother, I know!" He lowered his head and quietly hid the little hatred that had secretly grown in his heart.
