Chapter 38 Zhao Kuo
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 catch me to receive the reward?" Zhao Fu didn't say a word, 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, it is not my mission to catch thieves, but I still want to tell you one thing." ”
"Say it, please."
"If there is such a thing to worship a friend, please inform Ma Fuzi in advance, Ma Fuzi trusts you very much, but how can you not make people suspicious of your sneaky behavior? Ma Fuzi is not a stupid person, he must have known your identity, if you hide it, it is because you don't trust Ma Fuzi, I have heard that the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as a heart. Now that you are a minister, you don't regard you as your heart, how can you let Ma Fuzi treat you as a brother? ”
Xing put down the hand on the hilt of the sword, bowed down towards Zhao Fu, and then turned to leave.
Zhao Fu saw him leave, looked at the tomb here, and left here after Xing.
Zhao Kuo slowly opened his eyes, the early morning sun was blocked by leaves, and fragments appeared on his face, forming a spot of light, Zhao Kuo sat up, he 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: "Fortunately, what are you doing here?" After a moment's struggle, he said, "I have something to tell Shaojun." ”
"Please."
"At the beginning, I committed an accident, hid in this Taihang Mountain, and became a group of thieves in Taihang Mountain, because I was ambushed, the group of thieves ambushed, and I was the only one who escaped, if it wasn't for the young gentleman to take me in...", fortunately, before he finished speaking, Zhao Kuo stood up and said: "Come with me to eat first, I've been hungry all night." He sat at the campfire not far away, and the morning in the mountains was still a little cold.
"I heard that Shun was originally a farmer working in the fields, Fu said that he was a craftsman who built walls, Jiao Ji was a merchant who sold fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was a sinner, Baili Xi was even a slave, Mencius said: A person often makes mistakes, so that he can correct them, and he is confused in his heart, and his thoughts are blocked. Then you know what to do, and you have made mistakes in the past, haven't you been given a chance to make amends? In that case, you should be happy. 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 that Shaojun said, but Shun, Guan Zhong, Baili Xi, he still knew, Guan Zhong turned out to be still a sinner?? He didn't know these things, hearing Zhao Kuo's persuasion, most of the hatred and shame in his heart for the past had dissipated, and he was about to say something, but Zhao Kuo lowered his voice and urged: "You haven't persuaded me to eat yet, I'm not full yet!" ”
Luckily finally showed a knowing smile, and he exclaimed, "Please take another bite!" ”
looked at the big boy who took another bite of meat in front of him, and then continued to look at him, fortunately knowing that this is the person he has to assist all his life, a person who can live and die together.
Fortunately, all of a sudden, it seemed to be a different person, for the people who traveled with him, he was no longer so indifferent, difficult to approach, he would occasionally talk to these people about the interesting things in the Taihang Mountain, and there was a smile on his face, and the convoy gradually crossed the Taihang Mountain, and the distance from the Pingshun area was no longer so far away.
.........
Sheep intestine slope, because of its rugged winding between the mountains, twists and turns, resembling sheep intestines, so there is this name, it is the most dangerous section of Taihang Cheng, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the valleys are vertical and horizontal, the overhanging screen is connected, and Zhao Kuo and others are closer to here, the more they can feel the horror here, the ancient cypress towers to the sky, the tiger and leopard block the road, the gloomy fear, this is the sheep intestine described by the luck, the original sheep intestine, that is, the carriage can not pass, it is the businessmen at that time who have opened up a road.
They cut down a lot of trees and hired people to hunt tigers and leopards, but that didn't diminish the horror of the road.
From here the east over the valley is the Tianling, the west across the river is the Ban Dove Ridge, to the south at a glance at the foot of the mountain is small, to the north of the high mountain Pingcui line of the sky, it is a husband to check, the main road that ten thousand people do not open, can be called the throat of the main road of Beijing, Zhao Guo once sent people to set up a guard here, but because of the frequent attack by fierce beasts, there are a group of thieves to make trouble, only to be abandoned. Fortunately, after gradually approaching the sheep intestine slope, he was also a lot more careful, he opened the road at the front, carefully observing the surrounding situation.
In the middle of the slope of the sheep's intestines, it is as if a road has been cut out of the mountains, both ends of the road are straight slopes, a narrow and deep road winds through the mountains, but on the slopes on both sides of the road, there are hundreds of people lying on their stomachs at this moment, these people are motionless, not even poking their heads out, but their leaders will poke their heads out from time to time to look at the road ahead.
While he was waiting, suddenly a man bent down and trotted from behind him, hurriedly fell beside him, lowered his voice, and said in a fluent Tobu accent: "I can already see the smoke of the cooking, they are probably going to walk into the sheep intestine slope today!" ”
The leader was a long-haired Weiwu son, and when he heard his words, he hurriedly grabbed him by the placket of his clothes and asked viciously, "Are you sure you saw the smoke?" Is it them? ”
"I can guarantee with my life, it is definitely them, not to mention that there is no one in Taihang Mountain at all, and they are the only ones who can light so many bonfires." , The spy was not afraid, and said seriously, the leader loosened his shirt, gritted his teeth and said: "It's finally here, I thought they would die halfway, such a little way, they have walked for so long?!" If the soldiers of Zhao Guo in Changping really relied on his food, they would have starved to death a long time ago! ”
These are the spies sent by the Qin people, they are afraid that they will miss the opportunity, and they came here early, but they did not expect that the mountain road here is very difficult to walk, there are more than a dozen good hands who fell off the cliff and died, and then they continued to suffer from the attack of fierce beasts, after knowing a lot of fierce beasts, they waited here, because they were worried that Zhao Kuo was unwilling to ask for the distance from themselves, and the leaders were not allowed to cook, so they could only eat cold food, endure the cold in the mountains, and lie here in fear and wait.
They couldn't remember how many times they scolded Zhao Kuo! I can't wait to rush into the Taihang Mountain and run here with Zhao Kuo on my back!
The leader gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Zhao Kuo, his reputation is given to him by us, this time, it is time for him to repay his kindness, and when he kills his entourage, I must let him kneel down and beg me for mercy, thank me for my great kindness!" The spies on the side also said angrily: "These damn Zhao people, dare to move grain so slowly!" If it were in Great Qin, these people would have been beheaded ten times! ”
The leader asked unhappily, "What Great Qin?" We are the disciples of the Plains King, because the Plains King was humiliated and came to avenge him! ”
"Always send someone to investigate, in addition, tell the second and third sons that Zhao Kuo is finally coming, they have come a long way here, physically and mentally exhausted, not to mention that they are about to leave Taihang Mountain, they will definitely let down their guard, let the second and third sons be ready to capture Zhao Kuo and burn the grain and grass, and after these things are completed, all the participants will be promoted to two lords!" Hearing his words, even the spy was speechless with excitement and nodded hurriedly.
When the Qin people who were ambushed here heard about this, their expressions were really excited, and they no longer had the tiredness and irritability of Fang Cai, staring at the road in the distance with a murderous smile. The leader looked at their expressions, nodded, and then looked into the distance with disdain, it was just a shaft that they picked up, in the past, they touted this shaft in front of others against their will, and they were very disgusted in their hearts, and today, it was finally time to wash all this!
In front of the sheep intestine slope, fortunately suddenly stopped, he stood close to a big tree, squinting his eyes, looking at the situation in the distance, many years of bandit career, he escaped the encirclement and ambush of the soldiers several times, which made him form a high sense of vigilance, and now, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, the sheep intestine slope this place, he is very familiar, he was led to set up an ambush here, attacking the past business travel.
There are so many wild beasts here, and the sound of all kinds of birds will not cease, but at this moment, it is too quiet, as if it was when he set up an ambush. Yuki hurriedly waved his hand behind him, and the knight in the distance saw his move, and hurried towards the rear, Yuki hurriedly lay aside, picked some grass from in front of him, and applied it to his face, and carefully looked for some soft branches and leaves, and wrapped them around his body.
Then, he crawled in the grass, like a nimble snake, crawling quickly and swam forward, fortunately suddenly stopped, looked at the weeds in front of him seriously, there were a few traces of trampling on the weeds, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it, he looked at the traces of this trampling, distinguished the size, and swam in another direction.
"Let's 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 the fire and make smoke, and the cooking smoke cannot be cut off." ”
