"Brother Wuqiao......" Zhao Yongshi opened the curtain and stepped into the tent, he had already thought of his words, but when he saw Duan Fang sitting in the tent, he suddenly felt that he couldn't say those words.

"Brother Yulin, are you here to resign?" Duan Fang smiled a little, shook his head, and said frankly: "Brother Yulin only left at this time, and he is willing to see me for the last time, which shows that my brother has friendship with Duan Fang, and Duan Fang will remember it in his life." Brother Yulin, don't hesitate, go quickly! My two brothers know that they don't have many days to live, but they are deeply grateful to the country and cannot abandon their posts. My brother doesn't have to stay here, and he will be buried with my brother for no reason,"

Hearing Duan Fang say this, Zhao Yongshi felt even more ashamed in his heart, and stood silently at the door for a long time, finally sighed, arched his hand at Duan Fang, turned around, and did not look back, and strode away.

At this time, it was September 13 of the Xinhai year, and on November 3 of the foreign calendar, Duan Fang was appointed to act as the governor of Sichuan.

At the beginning, Duan Fang didn't care, he himself Yunwen Yunwu, and he was the head of the four scholars commented by the people of the time, why would he set off to hide under the wings of his own family for these little disturbances? But the farther you go into Sichuan, the worse things become. Not only was Ezhou independent, but even Hunan, Shaanxi, Jin and other places had chaotic party incidents, so since then, Sichuan has been surrounded by chaotic parties and has become a place for soldiers to die.

Duan Fang woke up to Wang Shizhen's words, so he withdrew and retreated, but it was too late. Since yesterday, the staff and swordsmen brought by Duan Fang began to disappear slowly, first three or two, and in the afternoon, it was a group of groups, most of them slipped away quietly, but only Zhao Yongshi, who was the last to go, came to say goodbye to him.

can be hired by the end side, these people have a pair of fiery eyes, and they are very knowledgeable about current affairs. The two standards under the command of Duanfang are the eighth town of the new army, which is from Wuchang and the rebellious new army, the same mother. In the past two days, the soldiers gathered in groups of three or five, and talked a lot, often looking at the end of the square, and the eyes seemed to be looking at the yellow and clear gold, or the red and bright black gauze hat.

Duan Jin looked at his brother and smiled bitterly, "Big brother, do you and I really have to die here for today's events?" ”

Before Duan Fang could answer, suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the tent, and the door curtain was torn off by someone in the negligent manner, and a cold wind came to his face.

"Governor Duan, the brothers don't care about life and death, and make sure you have walked so far," Liu Yifeng flashed into the account and said coldly, "You should make up the brothers' salaries." There is a saying that the emperor does not send hungry soldiers. Governor Duan said yes? ”

When it came to the end, Duan Fang was even more frank, "This is easy to say!" Team Officer Liu, the hard work of the brothers, Duan knows very well that the things in this account are up to you to pick! It's my reward for making up for my brothers! ”

Liu Yifeng laughed, "Governor Duan is really refreshing!" The brothers took a closer look, and there was only one thing in this tent, and the brothers wanted it! ”

"What's that?"

"Your head!"

Liu Yifeng said as soon as he spoke, and shouted loudly at the back: "What are you still rubbing, hurry up and serve the two masters, and get ready to go on the road!" ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen soldiers of the New Army flashed out from behind Liu Yifeng, several of them waited for one, and after a while, they tied the Duan's brothers into a strong knot, pushed them out of the tent, and stopped on a flat ground.

This boundary, I don't know whether it belongs to Henan or Hubei, but it is always at the junction of Henan and Hubei, and it is not far from the Pingjing Pass of the three passes of Yiyang. If you go north out of Pingjing Pass, you will be in Henan, and that is the world of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It's a pity that it's hard to cross this space.

Liu Yifeng looked at the Duan brothers who were kneeling on the ground, and laughed, "Governor Duan, you don't have to blame me." If you want to blame the Governor, you can only blame the Governor, who is a good person and does not choose, but he just brought out our thirty-one brothers, and took a wrong road in vain, not to mention, it has not delayed our future. If it weren't for you, we would also be the founding fathers of the revolution now, I can't say, Lao Tzu is also an assistant now! ”

Duan Fang raised his eyes, glanced at Liu Yifeng, and saw him looking smug as a villain, he couldn't help but feel funny, "Liu Yifeng, Duan Mou is dead when he dies, and you don't need to chew your tongue here!" ”

Seeing that Duan Fang was dying, he still laughed, Liu Yifeng seemed to have been greatly insulted, he walked over in three or two steps, raised a kick, and kicked Duan Fang down, followed by a fierce kick, and scolded endlessly:

"You, a slave of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a person like a pig and a dog, dare to laugh at my Han people?! Do you still think you're the Governor? Do you still think you're superior? Tell you, if Lao Tzu kills you today, he will kill an ant! ”

Duan Jin on the side saw that the corners of his brother's mouth were slowly spitting out blood, and he was frightened, so he suddenly took a few steps on his knees and kowtowed to Liu Yifeng repeatedly: "Master Liu, Master Liu!" Please, spare my brother! ”

Liu Yifeng was kicking Zhenghuan, and suddenly saw the appearance of Duanjin, who had always been high-spirited, and his heart was even more refreshing. I think this revolution is really a wonderful thing.

He turned around and said to Duanjin, "Do you want me to spare Duanfang?" But Lao Tzu is still angry in his heart, what should I do! Why don't you come over and let Ye be comfortable twice? ”

Hearing Liu Yifeng's words, Duanjin raised his head, his face was full of cowardice and fear, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Duan Fang coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and said to his younger brother hard: "Uncle, my descendants of the Totek clan will die when they die, don't do this kind of thing, you don't have to insult your ancestors!" ”

Hearing Duan Fang's words, Liu Yifeng seemed to have found something more interesting, he sneered twice, and still said to Duan Jin: "I think Duan Ye is also a man, so let's do it, I am not difficult for Duan Ye, as long as Duan Ye kowtows to me three times today and calls me Grandpa." I'll let Duan Ye go today, how about it? ”

Hearing Liu Yifeng's words, Duan Jin hadn't answered, and Ren Yongsen, a new non-commissioned officer next to him, frowned and said, "Team Officer Liu, it's not too good to kill people, it's not good for you to do this?" ”

Liu Yifeng laughed, "Mole ants are still greedy, let alone Duanye?" Besides, Duan Ye also kowtowed to me a lot just now, and he is not inferior to these three. ”

At this time, Duan Fang was full of anger, he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood again and again, wanted to struggle to stand up, tried a few times, but still couldn't stand up, he raised his head, at his younger brother, and said fiercely: "Uncle Xun, death is death, don't insult your ancestors!" ”

But this was said too late, Duan Jin had already knelt in front of Liu Yifeng, and knocked his head down, but after a while, the three heads had been kowtowed, Duan Jin muttered for a long time, and finally whispered: "Grandpa Liu......"

Duan Fang let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and couldn't bear to see it again.

That Liu Yifeng deliberately gouged out his ears, "Duan Ye, didn't you have a full stomach today, and you spoke in a low voice, what did you just say?" I didn't hear clearly! ”

Duan Jin opened his mouth, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Liu ......" Who knew that as soon as he said this word, Duan Fang over there had already shouted: "Liu Yifeng!" Have the guts, you kill me now! I'm just dying today! I don't want to see this kind of person who doesn't want ancestors anymore! ”

"Governor Duan is always in such a hurry!" Liu Yifeng grinned, "Okay, I'll be the governor of Duan." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and saw that among the onlookers, Lu Baoqing came out in line, "I'll send Governor Duan on the road!" As he spoke, he strode towards Duanfang, pulled out the saber at his waist as he walked, walked to Duanfang's side, grabbed Duanfang with one hand, and helped him kneel, "Governor Duan, you have always been kind to your brothers, and we killed you today, not ingratitude, but justice, and we have to do it." Governor Duan, rest assured, I will definitely give you a good time, so that you don't have the slightest pain! ”

Duan Fang smiled, "Thank you, Brother Lu!" After speaking, he lowered his head and exposed his neck, "Come on!" ”

Duan Jin looked at his brother blankly, only to feel that he wanted to say something in his heart, but he always couldn't say it, he suddenly howled, grabbed the ground with his head, and cried loudly: "Ancestor, open your eyes and take a look!" ”

Lu Baoqing raised his saber high and shouted: "Governor Duan, go all the way!" Then he swung the knife and fell straight to Duanfang's neck, and Duanfang listened to the golden wind whistling behind his head, but he felt a sense of relief.

Suddenly, I heard a "bang" gunshot, followed by the piercing sound of gold and iron resonating "boom~ding~", followed by a "dangchang", the saber fell to the ground, and Lu Baoqing hissed and inhaled cool air.

"Who?!" Liu Yifeng shouted loudly.

A group of soldiers followed the sound of gunfire, but saw a few horses pacing leisurely on the far road. The first teenager is only sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Who are you? Why save the thief? Ren Yongsen said loudly and angrily, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers next to him each raised their guns and pointed at the comer.

"What are you doing?!" A horse jumped out from behind, and immediately a person shouted at everyone: "This is Zhu Chongzhen, the king of Wuchang Han!" ”

A soldier of the New Army, who was familiar with the revolutionaries, suddenly pointed at the man in surprise and shouted: "He is Lu Dasen!" Lu Dasen, director of the Science Tutorial Institute! ”

Hearing this person shout, everyone looked carefully, no, there were a total of four riders, except for the young man who was a strange face, the other three were all familiar faces, all of them were veterans of the revolutionary party in Wuchang City, Lu Dasen, Hu Ying, and Zhang Nanxian were also.

"It's rare that you still remember someone Lu." Lu Dasen smiled heroically, and then pointed to the young man and said to everyone, "This is our Han King of Wuchang, Zhu Chongzhen!" ”

After Lu Dasen finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and it was rumored that the king of Wuchang Han had three heads and six arms, a green face and fangs, and vast magical powers, and he was the king of heaven and earth. Unexpectedly, I saw a real person, but it was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old heroic boy!

Everyone stayed there, Zhu Chongzhen ignored it, he urged the horse to come to the end of the square, and asked in a clear voice, "Are you the end side?" ”

Duan Fang escaped death, and he didn't want to see the leader of the rebellion, he looked at Zhu Chongzhen carefully, "Yes, I am Duan Fang!" ”

"Do you know who cleared the door?"

Duan Fang was shocked, Zaihong is the master of the Qing Gate, he has always been hidden behind, and he is also a woman, because of the ancestral training, there is never a trace of dealing with political affairs. Those who are idle don't even know about clearing the door, let alone the owner of the door?

"Who are you?" The end side does not answer rhetorical questions.

Zhu Chongzhen heard this question, and knew the answer, he smiled lightly, "It's good that you know, I saved your life today, not for anything else, but I want you to pass on a message for me, you tell him that the ten-year covenant needs to be advanced, and it will be set at the fifteenth full moon of the next month." If it is inconvenient, please ask him to forgive him. ”

Duan Fang was shocked when he heard this, he stood up suddenly, stared at Zhu Chongzhen for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Are you that young man from Yuezhou, Zhu Qiu?" ”

Zhu Chongzhen was stunned by the question, but in a moment, he reacted, "Are you from the Qingmen?" ”

"Not bad!" Duan Fang replied proudly.

"That saved me a lot of things," Zhu Chongzhen smiled faintly, and casually waved a blade light to cut off the rope at the end, "You go, tell Zaihong that on the fifteenth day of next month, I will go to the capital to find him!" ”

Duan Fang pinched his somewhat sore arm, moved his body, and reflexively picked up the half of the saber that Lu Baoqing had dropped just now.

"Let me clean up the house!"

Duan Jin saw that his brother had turned around from the ghost gate, and he was still safe and sound, so he laughed there, and the tears and snot that he had just cried out were still on his face.

Duan Fang walked in front of his younger brother, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and wiped Duan Jin's face, "Brother, don't blame my brother, the rules of clearing the door have always been like this." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a flash of white light, and Duanjin fell to the ground.

Duan Fang threw half of the saber back, and arched his hand at Zhu Chongzhen, "If you say, I will definitely bring it!" ”

With that, he turned around and walked north. When Zhu Chongzhen saw what he did, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really that those who seek the living have to die, and those who seek the dead have to live!" ”

When Duan Fang heard this, his body was stunned, he turned around again, and said to Zhu Chongzhen: "Zhu Ming and Qingmen have revenge on each other, which is understandable. But now, on the grounds of personal enmity, Your Excellency is making a big mistake to bring chaos to the south and weaken the vitality of China! ”

Zhu Chongzhen didn't expect that this Duan Fang actually said such words, urged the horse to step forward, stopped in front of the end side, and looked at Duan Fang carefully, "I know you Duan Fang, I heard that there is a set of bronze kings hidden in your house, I don't know how heavy it is?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Duanfang's face changed color, "You really have the heart to win!" ”

Zhu Chongzhen laughed, "Don't waste people's hearts!" Let me ask you, in the past, the king of Chuzhuang drank Ma Luo water, and won the crown in Zhou, and Si Shiding belonged to the royal family, and the princes could not have it; Nowadays, it is the general trend to enter the homes of ordinary people! ”

"I also read the "Essentials of European and American Politics" that day you wrote. Zheng Haizang allowed you to be the head of the four scholars, and praised you for your learning and skill, so with this book, you also deserve it. Since you have preached for me today, you have a fate, and I will have a heavy responsibility for you in another day. Hello self-cherished. As for the success or failure of today, you don't know. On the day of the decisive battle, I will talk to Zaihong. ”

This was said strangely, but Duan Fang didn't ask anymore, but just said: "In this case, on the fifteenth day of next month, naturally there will be a door master to ask, but it saves me the trouble of talking." With that, he turned around and walked again.

Zhu Chongzhen said: "Let's take a step slowly!" With that, he dismounted with a stirrup and led his mount to the end, "This horse, although it is not a good horse, is also an extraordinary foot force. I will send it to you today, and I will report it to Zaihong earlier. There are also some wound medicine and water and food in the baggage on the horse's side, which will be given to you at the same time. ”

Duan Fang was not polite, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you!" Then he turned on his horse and flew away.
