Chapter 725: The Wind Rises and Gathers in Zezhou (4)

"I came this afternoon, and I kept thinking about seeing the Assassin at noon. The army escorting the golden dog www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion is our Han Chinese, but when the assassin attacked, the Han people actually used their bodies to block the arrows for the golden dog. I've heard people say in the past that the Han army is so powerful that when they drop their gold, they are even more greedy for life and afraid of death, but I really can't figure out why......

Going out from the Liang'an Inn, the road outside was an alley with few pedestrians, and You Hongzhuo walked while talking in a low voice. After saying this, Mr. Zhao turned his head to look at him, probably not expecting that he was actually worried about this matter, but then he opened his mouth with a slightly wry smile, he lowered his voice slightly, but the reason was too simple.

"What's going on...... What's so strange, now Daqi is supported by the Jurchens, they are really superior people, in the past few years, there has not been much resistance on the surface, and there have always been assassinations in the dark. But the matter involves the Jurchens, the punishment is the most severe, once these Jurchen family members have an accident, the soldiers will sit together, and their families will be implicated...... This has happened in the past few years. ”

Mr. Zhao said this, his tone was flat and just a statement, a natural reality, You Hongzhuo for a while, but he didn't know what to say.

"That person blocked an arrow for the Jurchen nobles, which saved everyone's lives, otherwise, one Jurchen died, and at least 100 Han people lost their lives, what do you say they can do?" Mr. Zhao looked at him with a gentle gaze, "Besides, this may not be the main thing. ”

The lights were getting brighter ahead, and the two had walked out of the alley and onto the street with pedestrians.

"Whether it's war or peace, look here, everyone has to live and live. It has only been a few years since the Wu Dynasty left the Central Plains, and everyone still wants to resist, but in fact, there is no way to go up, and those who are soldiers want to be generals, even if they can't, they want to earn more money to supplement their families, those who do business want to be rich people, and farmers want to be local masters......"

Mr. Zhao said while pointing to the pedestrians on the street: "I know what you think, Little Brother You, even if you can't change it, at least you shouldn't be evil, even if you have to be evil, in the face of these Jurchens, at least you can't really take refuge in them, even if you take refuge in them, you should stand by as much as possible when you see them dying...... However, three or five years, five years and ten years are a long time for a person, and even more difficult for a family. Every day, I don't have a conscience, I live a tight life, waiting for the people of the Wu Dynasty to come back? How long can you watch the women in your family want to eat and the children want to drink? To tell the truth, even if the Wu Dynasty can really fight back, ten or twenty years later, many people will have to live here for half their lives, and the time of half a lifetime may determine the lifetime of two generations. The Jurchens are the best upper channel, so it is not surprising that the soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death on the battlefield sacrifice their lives to protect the Jurchens. ”

The two walked all the way, and when Mr. Zhao said these things simply and plainly, You Hongzhuo opened his mouth loudly, although he could think of the first half of the punishment that the other party said, but he was somewhat confused about the second half. He was still a young man, so naturally he could not understand the importance of survival, nor could he understand the benefits and importance of being attached to the Jurchens.

He was puzzled for a long time: "That...... The seniors just said that they are not bad people......"

Mr. Zhao patted him on the shoulder: "You asked me why this happened, so I told you the reason." If you ask me why the Jin people are defeated, I can also tell you the reason. It's just that the reason has nothing to do with good or bad. To us, they're really bad guys, and that's right. ”

"So what are we going to do......"

"We're going to kill their people, force their wives to death, and kill their children." Mr. Zhao's tone was gentle, and You Hongzhuo turned his head to look at him, but he only saw a casual and natural expression, "Because one thing is certain, if there are more such people, no matter what the reason, the Jurchens will rule the Central Plains faster, and when the time comes, the Han people can only be like dogs, taking their lives to please others." So, whatever reason they have, it won't be wrong to kill them. ”

"Yes." You Hongzhuo said.

Along the way, Mr. Zhao and You Hongzhuo chatted a lot, and every time he had doubts in his heart, Mr. Zhao's explanation could most likely make him suddenly enlightened. For the Han soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Jin people he saw on the way, You Hongzhuo's young heart naturally felt that killing him was the most enjoyable, but at this time, Mr. Zhao's gentle but full of evil words made him feel a little confused in his heart.

After that, the two walked all the way along the streets of Zezhou City, found a teahouse in the most lively market, and after calling for refreshments in front of the window on the second floor, Mr. Zhao said: "I have some things, you wait for me here for a while." And he departed. The prosperity of Zezhou City is not as good as the big cities in the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River, but the sweet pastries in the teahouse and the tactful singing of the singers are rare enjoyment for You Hongzhuo. He ate two pieces of pastry, looked at the lights around him, and his mind couldn't help but return to what had puzzled him.

When he reacted like this, Mr. Zhao had already returned, sat opposite, and was drinking tea: "It's a good thing to see that you're thinking about things and you have a problem in your heart." ”

"Senior Zhao......"

Mr. Zhao held the teacup and looked out the window, but his expression became serious - when he talked about killing the whole family before, he had never had a serious expression, but this time it was different: "There are several kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, and those who follow the people and follow the flow of the day, this kind of person is a gangster in the green forest, and he has no future." All the way, he only asks the steel knife in his hand, goes straight to the point, and is happy to enmity and hatred, and one day he may become a generation of heroes. There are also cowards who think about everything, right and wrong, and may become a rich man with children and grandchildren. Most of those who practice martial arts are these three paths. ”

He took a sip of tea and paused: "But only those who take the fourth path can become a real great master." ”

You Hongzhuo stood up: "Senior Zhao, I ......" As soon as he arched his hand, he was about to kneel down, this was a great gift to apprentice, but the opposite side stretched out his hand, held him up, and pushed him back to the chair: "I have a story, if you want to hear it, listen to it and talk about other things." ”

You Hongzhuo nodded hurriedly. Mr. Zhao smiled: "This is one thing that not many people know in the green forest, the strongest martial artist of the previous generation, the iron-armed Zhou Dong, and the demon Ning Yi have met twice. Zhou Tong has a square personality, and Ning Yi, the inner demon, is ruthless, and the two times are not pleasant...... It is reported that the first time was after the fall of Shuibo Liangshan, Iron Arm came forward to save his disciple Lin Chong, and at the same time received an order from the Taiwei Mansion to kill the heart demon......"

Pedestrians on the street, the swaying lights above the teahouse, the singing voice of the singer and the erhu sound of Lao Suo, You Hongzhuo listened to the predecessors in front of him talk about the martial arts anecdotes many years ago, the meeting between Zhou Dong and the demon in Shandong, and then later, the flood was raging, the old man ran in the food disaster, and the demon turned the tide in the capital, and then in the confrontation between the people in the rivers and lakes and the demon, Zhou Dong ran for thousands of miles to defend the demon, and then dispersed because of the vicious displeasure of the demon......

The two people who are a legend of one good and one evil in the green forest, after this gathering, there is no face-to-face, the old man who is over eighty years old died vigorously in the Xinzhou killing array for the assassination of the Jurchen Marshal Sticky Han, and a few years later, the heart demon Ning Yi rolled up a heroic soldier and died in the battle after three years of frontal fighting in the northwest. The two people, who had very different means, eventually embarked on a similar path......

Just hearing these things, You Hongzhuo felt that his heart was burning.

Mr. Zhao tapped the table with a teacup: "...... Zhou Tong is a generation of grandmasters, speaking of which, he should not like Ning Liheng, but he still traveled thousands of miles for Ning Yi, after his death, the head was taken out by his disciple Fu Lu, and the place where the bones were buried was later told to Ning Liheng by Fu Lu, and now no one may know about it anymore. And Ning Yi, the inner demon, didn't like Zhou Tong either, but after Zhou Tong's death, he still spared no effort to publicize Zhou Dong's feat. In the final analysis, Zhou Tong is not a cowardly person, he is not the kind of person who is happy and angry, happy and hateful, and certainly not a coward......"

He knew what Ning Liheng was doing, and he also knew that in the matter of disaster relief, he could play a role in fighting one by one, and I am afraid that it could not be compared to Ning Yi's wrist, but he still did everything he could. In Xinzhou, it's not that he doesn't know that the assassination is nine deaths, and it may be completely useless, but he didn't look ahead, he did everything he could. What kind of man is he, you say? ”

You Hongzhuo frowned, thinking carefully, Mr. Zhao laughed: "First of all, he is a person who can use his brain, just like you are now, thinking is a good thing, entanglement is a good thing, contradiction is a good thing, can't figure it out, it's also a good thing." Think about that old man, he is indomitable in everything he encounters, and most people say that he has a square personality, is this square just a rigid square? No, even if it is the extreme means of the inner demon Ning Yi, he can accept it, which shows that he has seen everything and understands everything, but even so, when he encounters bad things and evil things, even if he can't change it, even if he will die because of it, he will move forward......"

"Ordinary people start to think about things, and soon they will find it difficult, and you will feel contradictory -- mediocre people always like to say, I'm just an ordinary person, I can't take care of this, I can't take care of that, say I did my best, say that even if I do this, what can I change, and the world is safe and perfect, and I have a headache to think about it...... But the world is already difficult, and people are called chivalrous when they walk in the cracks. ”

"You think at noon today, that Han dog who blocked the arrows for the golden man should die, and at night you may think that he has his reasons, but if he has a reason, you won't kill him? You kill him, do you want to kill his family? If you don't kill, others will, and when I want to force his wife to death and his children to death, you can't stop me? How do you stop me. When you killed him, did you think that all the people who suffered in this land deserved to die? If you can figure out these things, the knife you swing can have great power. ”

Mr. Zhao poured himself a cup of tea: "Daozuo meets, this way together, you and I are indeed fate." But to be honest, my wife, she wants to mention you because she likes your understanding of knife skills, and I value your ability to draw inferences. Since you were a child, you only know how to practice knives dullly, and once you understand between life and death, you can infiltrate into the knife technique, which is a good thing, but it is not good, and the knife technique will inevitably infiltrate into your future life, then it is a pity. If you want to break the rules and regulations and move forward, you must first understand all the rules and regulations, and those who feel that all the rules in the world are false at a young age are incorrigible garbage and mediocrity. You have to be wary not to become such a person. ”

You Hongzhuo thought for a moment: "Senior, I don't know how to ......"

"Look and think, think slowly, here is just to say, walk cautiously, swing the knife resolutely. Senior Zhou is indomitable, but he is actually a very cautious person, he sees more, thinks more, and investigates to be truly indomitable. If you can achieve something in your thirties or forties, it's very good. ”

Mr. Zhao smiled: "I have been a teacher in the past few years, and I teach many students, so I can't help but nag. Probably the best I can tell you is this story...... In the next few days, my husband and wife have some things to do in Zezhou, and you also have your business, half a street past this side is where the rudder of the Great Light Sect is located, if you are interested, you can go over and have a look. ”

You Hongzhuo's gaze looked over there.

Mr. Zhao drank tea: "Heshuo Heavenly Sword Tan Zheng's martial arts are good, you are not an opponent now, look more and think more, within three or five years, you may not be able to kill him." As for your fourth brother, if you can find it, you might as well ask the matter clearly, whether to kill or flee, and be worthy of your heart. ”

You Hongzhuo's heart was still confused, what the other party told him was too big after all. When he went back that day, You Hongzhuo remembered some doubts again, and opened his mouth to ask, and Mr. Zhao answered one by one, and no longer said anything that made him feel embarrassed. After practicing martial arts in the evening, he sat in the room of the inn, his heart fluctuated, but more because he listened to the story of Grandmaster Zhou, even if the seventeen-year-old boy remembered the words of the other party, he still imagined what the future would look like, and he longed to become a hero like Grandmaster Zhou.

In this way, an incident suddenly passed through the bottom of his heart, which made him lose his mind slightly.

He remembered that on the night he left the village, he swung a knife and killed many monks of the Great Light Sect, and killed those women, and finally when he swung a knife to kill the girl who was originally his fiancΓ©e, the other party begged for mercy, she said: "Dog, don't kill me, we grow up together, I will be your mother-in-law......"

Although he and the girl are doll kissed, when it comes to feelings, it is not so unforgettable. The **** cut all the way to the past, and when it was killed to the end, there was a slight hesitation, but then it was still cut down, although there was a reason in the heart, but more because it was easier and more enjoyable, there was no need to think about more. But at this time, he suddenly thought that although the girl was sent to the monk's temple, it may not be what she was willing to do, and at that time, the girl's family was poor, and her own family had long been unable to help.

At that time, I might have been able to slow down that knife.

He was young, his parents were gone, and he had experienced too much killing, fear, and even starvation. After a few months of looking at the only road in front of him, he covered everything with high spirits, and when he looked back, he pushed open the window of the inn and saw the dull stars and moonlight in the sky, and his heart ached for a while. In my young heart, I really feel the complexity of life.

He didn't know that at this time, in the upstairs room of the inn, Mr. Zhao was complaining to his wife that "children are really troublesome" and packed up his luggage to leave.

The next day, You Hongzhuo woke up from the bed, and saw the dry food and silver taels left on the table, as well as a thin book of knife skills, and when he went upstairs, the room of the Zhao couple was already empty - the other party also had important matters, and this was goodbye. He cleaned up his mood, went down to practice martial arts twice, and had breakfast, before he silently went out and went in the direction of the Great Bright Sect rudder.

You have to look at it carefully, think slowly, and when you swing the knife, you can move forward - he just kept this thing in mind.

It was early in the morning, and before I reached yesterday's teahouse, I saw a noise on the street in front of me, and the soldiers of the Tiger King were marching in front of me, loudly announcing something. You Hongzhuo rushed forward, but saw that the soldiers were escorting more than a dozen wounded green forest people to the Caishikou Square in front, from their announcements, we can know that these people are the bandits who tried to rob the prison yesterday, of course, it may also be the remnants of the black flag, who will be held in the square today and have been displayed to the public for several days.

At this time, it is still in Futian, in such a hot weather, for a long time, that is, to burn these people alive, I am afraid it is also because of the bait of the opponent's henchmen. You Hongzhuo followed for a while, and heard those green forest people scolding all the way, some said: "There is a kind of one-sided ...... with grandpa" and some said: "Eighteen years later, he is a good man again-" "Tian Hu, Sun Qi, **** your grandmother-"

On the way, there were also people who picked up stones and threw them over, and some squeezed over and spat - they could not easily live a few days in this chaotic Central Plains than other places, and their perceptions of these green forest people or the remnants of the black flag were different.
