(248) Flowers bloom and two lives are not destined (22)
"Are you really going to die?" I look at him.
Ji Gui turned a blind eye to my warning: "You are now the turtle in the urn, how can you talk about 'fish dead and the net is broken'?" ”
He raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at me, "If you don't want to be shot into a hedgehog, just obediently kill yourself under my sword, otherwise, I will not show mercy!" ”
"The soldiers who occupied Yuzhou City in Qi State are here, even if your remnants of your subordinates can defeat ten with one, can they still block a hundred with one?" I suddenly sighed deeply and took a step closer to him, "When I was in the White Crane Academy, Master taught us that in this world, only life is the most precious and should be cherished......
"Nonsense!" Ji Gui interrupted me sharply, "Nonsense, Shen Qingzhi, you want to deceive me?" Do you think I'm going to be fooled by you again? The two countries are in peace talks, how dare you withdraw your troops here without authorization? ”
"Even if Yuzhou City is completely empty, as long as there are soldiers from my Qin country, Qi country will not dare to move, don't you understand it yet?" My eyes suddenly froze, and I raised my voice.
"What do you mean?" Ji Gui's intuition is not good.
"Empty city plan, Ji Gui." I shook my head slightly, "It's hatred that blinds your eyes and makes you unable to see the direction clearly, and now you can't win against me at all." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the sound of swords clashing was heard all around, followed by cries of pain and screams.
After only a few moments, all the voices disappeared cleanly, and only a well-trained army came out of the surrounding woods, iron armor and black tassels, and cold swords dripping blood.
"The last general will meet the Prime Minister." At the forefront was a general who held only a long knife but no armor, and he bowed his head with his fists clenched and knelt respectfully.
All the soldiers knelt on the ground together, "I'll wait to meet the Prime Minister." ”
Mountains and forests echo, birds flock.
Ji Gui watched this scene in shock, took two steps back sharply, and finally, he closed his eyes.
"Shen Qingzhi, take your life!" With a long sword in his hand, Ji Gui let out a loud cry and rushed towards me.
I frowned, and drew my sword to fight him.
Ji Gui is determined to die, almost all the swords and swords are coming towards my death hole, I dodge left and right, but because of the injury, it is inevitable that I am a little stretched, gradually, I feel struggling.
No, if this continues, I will be exhausted before him.
Only make a ruthless move first and stop his actions!
I have made up my mind, and I am not welcome, I swung my sword to meet his moves, pressing step by step, and did not back down at all.
Ji Gui immediately felt the change in me, his gaze became more and more ruthless, and his hands became heavier and heavier, almost every time he blocked his sword, I was forced to retreat a point.
The general at the head frowned slightly, obviously seeing my decline, he stood up, wanting to help me, but I shouted "Stand down!" ”
At this moment, Ji Gui's sword came straight to my neck.
The threat of death was approaching, and I subconsciously turned to the side, pinpointed his hole, and stabbed his sword into his heart.
"Hmm!" There was a muffled snort, and blood splattered.
The heavens and the earth seemed to be quiet for a moment, and I watched his figure slowly falling, and I felt that I had stopped breathing.
Ji Gui ...... "I almost rushed to his side, "Why do you ...... Why ......"
Obviously he can dodge, obviously he can!
Why!
"I told you a long time ago, I know where your pain is......" Ji Gui endured the severe pain and laughed softly.
"You!" I'm very angry, but I can't help it.
"I'll just wait and see...... How did the people around you get pushed into the abyss step by step....... Shen Qingzhi ......"
Ji Gui just left with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
But I saw the hatred and sorrow that was deep in his eyes.
For me, and for this unjust world.
In fact, he is right in one sentence, if it weren't for the ignorant father and the selfish brother under him, even if the two countries of Qinqi joined forces, if they wanted to take the country, it would not be possible overnight.
I thought that Gu Yuancheng could beat them to the ground so quickly and fled, just because he took advantage of their royal feud and the fact that they each had ghosts.
"Thick burial."
It was night, and the moon was like mist.
I sat on the tallest tree outside the house with a jar of wine in my arms, and drank alone in front of the bright moon.
Qingping is gone, and now, Ji Gui also died at my hands, so what about the future? Who else will die because of me?
Former classmates and friends, will they really be pushed into the boundless abyss by me one by one as he said?
Am I alone?
"I still remember the scene when we were studying together at the White Crane Academy, when Ji Gui first came here." I tilted my head and took a sip of my wine, as if I had expected someone to come. Worry-free Chinese network
Under the tree, a shadow stood quietly in the shade and darkness.
"He pretended to be a dirty little Huazi, waiting for him at the door of Master Yang entering and leaving the academy every day, he was almost begging the master to let him enter the academy to study, the White Crane Academy is the best academy in Qinguo, but it is almost monopolized by the son of a high-ranking official, how easy is it for a person named Huazi to enter the academy?"
But he relied on himself and begged for a chance to enter the academy. Master Yang set up layers of almost harsh difficulties, and he simply relied on himself to break through. From then on, the first person to enter the White Crane Academy with a poor body was his name, Ji Gui. ”
"He is the most diligent in the academy, and he is also the most bullied, in fact, I was also bullied at that time, but I still have the name of the prince of Wei Yinghou's mansion, but he can really only be a powerless beggar."
Speaking of which, I suddenly felt a little blurry in front of me.
"I've seen him once carve his name on a stone by the river in the back mountain every time he was bullied, and then threw it into the river and let it submerge with the current."
"Ji Gui, Ji Gui, how can a person who does not reach the country be this name? I didn't understand it before, but it wasn't until that day when I used a trick to drive him out of the White Crane Academy, and he looked at me with the kind of despair and resentment in his eyes, that I suddenly understood the true meaning of the name. ”
I tilted my head and took another sip of wine, the icy cold liquid just enough to calm me down.
He was originally a noble prince, but for the sake of his country, his ambitions, and his people, he was willing to be humbled to such an extent, pretending to be a beggar to go to the enemy country to learn those obscure strategies and debates, and the art of war.
But after all, the world makes people.
"He has a reason to hate me, it was I who cut off his way to study in Qinguo, and I also destroyed his country....."
I looked at the bright moon in the sky, and always felt that it should be able to understand my thoughts, but it could not speak, and it had no expression.
The night wind blows the treetops near and far, and the rustling of leaves seems to be the gentlest murmur of the night, fading away and rising.
"If the prime minister is given another chance to do it again, will the prime minister be willing to keep him as a scourge?" The man in the shadow of the tree laughed contemptuously, clasped his arms in his hands, and leaned against the trunk.
I froze, then shook my head with a smile.
"No, it won't."
"What about the country of Buda? Will the prime minister let it go? ”
"No, it won't."
"Isn't it ridiculous that the Prime Minister is here to grieve for an enemy who is already dead?"
I jumped off the tree with the wine in my arms.
"I'm a ridiculous person, isn't it normal to do something ridiculous and say something ridiculous?"
The man in the shadow of the tree raised his eyebrows and didn't argue with me any further.
"Brother Feihu is so late, and he came out to look for me, he must be ready to go?" I paced up to him.
Cheng Feihu looked at me, "It's not a good errand for you to do, don't you take advantage of the night to leave, don't you want me to wait to be cleaned up by Gu Xiang?" “
I narrowed my eyes slightly and sighed softly.
"The silver ticket has been prepared for you, just in Shangyuan Village, you can report my name when the time comes."
Cheng Feihu nodded, turned around and flew up to the treetops and left.
Seeing his figure disappear, I blinked my eyes and took out the letter from my sleeve that Gu Yuancheng had given me.
Ji Gui has been solved by me, and the contradictions in the old department of Buda have also been concentrated in Qinguo, and what I promised him is completed, and now, just the last thing, I should leave for Beijing.
Turning around, I walked back into the house, raised my hand to remove the lampshade, and placed the letter on the candle flame.
The candlelight flickered, and the letter paper turned to ashes.
There was actually nothing written on this letter, only one word - war.
Gu Yuancheng knows my weakness the most, he can be ruthless and let the people of the two countries experience another war, but I can't.
At least not yet.
With a light breath, I extinguished the candlelight.
The army was supposed to leave for Beijing immediately, but because the two countries were negotiating peace, Changqingjiang's men and horses were also going to withdraw, so I decided to let them wait here and go back with Jiang and Wei at that time.
Naturally, I also have to wait for Wang Jie in the post station.
The meals at Qinguo Post Station have always been good, and I was eating and drinking, and ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, I stood early outside the post station and waited, from the early morning when the sun had not yet risen to the top of the sun, and the figures of the returning soldiers finally appeared in my field of vision.
"Green Branches." Jiang Hewei, who had been in the dark, lifted his cloak, got off his horse, took off his helmet, and walked quickly in front of me.
came with him, and Wang Jie was there.
"You ......" I was surprised.
Yuzhou City and Changqing River are two completely opposite directions, how could they come here together?
"Master, it's your subordinates who are anxious about your safety, and they are rushing with people day and night, but they don't think about it, but they get lost outside Yutang Pass, but fortunately, General Jiang is marching here, and his subordinates can get here smoothly." Wang Jie knelt down on one knee, his face full of shame, "It's because the subordinates failed to make adequate preparations before the trip, please punish the master." ”
