The bright moon often cares for distant relatives Chapter 19 Stepping on a horse and singing a broken heart
Out of the gate, the slave looked at Zhao Zijing, who was at the door and Xiao County Lingyi, and clenched the household registration sign in his hand, and couldn't help but burst into tears and was grateful.
"You live up to me, in this life and this life, childe! I will not fail you! The slave's heart roared in his heart, as if he wanted to deeply engrave this determination in his bones, and always remember Zhao Zijing's grace of recreation!
Slavery in the Qin Dynasty can be said to be very prevalent, and those who become slaves are the appendages of their masters for life, and they are allowed to be distributed by their masters, and life and death are not in their own hands, and even some masters will let their slaves be buried after death. The descendants born of slaves are slaves for generations, and can never own private property and enjoy political rights, so in the eyes of the Qin Dynasty, slaves are useless and extremely humble.
Now, the slave hugged Zhao Zijing's thigh, and finally got out of the slave and became an authentic official citizen of the Qin Dynasty.
"I want to work hard to climb up, I want power, money, I want to let those who look down on me prostrate under my feet,,, one day, my heart will be one person below ten thousand people!" The slave looked at the sky and swore inwardly.
Two sturdy horses, carrying Zhao Zijing and his heart, slowly moved towards the north,,,
Xiao County Commander was a little melancholy, if Zhao Zijing was left behind, he would rather give up his position as county commander to Zhao Zijing, because he believed that Zhao Zijing could govern Lu County better with his wisdom, and the people's lives would be greatly improved. It wasn't until he couldn't see Zhao Zijing's figure that Xiao Xianling turned around and went back to his house to prepare for planting tea trees and training workers, all of which Zhao Zijing told him.
Three years later, Lu County was busy with traffic and business travel, because Lu County produced special tea. Luxian tea is famous all over the world, and is regarded as a fine tea by the princes and nobles, and even the first emperor Zhao Zheng has praised it after tasting it. Xiao Wei presented the tea scripture written by Zhao Zijing, and the first emperor was happy and rewarded Xiao Wei, and he finally returned to Xianyang to become a Beijing official as he wished.
This is all a matter of the future, at this time Zhao Zijing and others were on their way, and on the way they happened to meet the conscripts and criminals who were assigned to the Great Wall, detained by a few soldiers!
"Childe, look, that person doesn't look like Huang Ping?" With a sharp heart, he pointed to a person in the crowd, turned his head and said to Zhao Zijing.
Zhao Zijing looked at it and took a closer look, it was Huang Ping, who was undoubtedly it. It's just that Huang Ping at this time is a prisoner under the stairs, unkempt, like a mourner, like a walking corpse. Perhaps knowing that since ancient times, all the conscripts who went to build the Great Wall have never returned alive, and they have long lost their confidence in life.
The chief Wu in charge of detention is Xiao Countyling's henchman, and when he saw the guests on his father's seat, he naturally stepped forward to be polite.
"Hu Xi, the chief of the left army of Lu County, meet Mr." Hu Xi wore a Qin-style military uniform and came to Zhao Zijing to say.
"Oh? Hello. Zhao Zijing smiled and said: "I have a relationship with Huang Ping, I don't know if I can ask Chief Wu to let me go for him, he is going to the Great Wall, I am afraid of ,,,."
Wu Chang Hu Xi thought for a moment, but still opened the door of convenience and brought Huang Ping to Zhao Zijing. Zhao Zijing got off the horse, looked at the dirty Huang Ping, and said sadly: "Brother Huang Ping, your life and death are unknown, my brother will do it for you today, I hope you cherish it!" ”
Zhao Zijing took out the wine bag, took a sip of it himself, and handed it to Huang Ping. Huang Ping took the wine bag tremblingly, took a big sip, looked at Zhao Zijing complicatedly, and said: "What happened to me today is all the sins I made yesterday, I don't blame anyone, only blame me for not turning back as soon as possible!" You see me off today, and if there is a goodbye day in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness, ready-to-wear brother, and send ,,, not far away."
After speaking, Huang Ping exchanged wine bags, turned around and left. Zhao Zijing took the wine sac, bowed to the sky, and sent Huang Ping with sake, until the conscription team disappeared into the sky.
"Heart, follow me to another place!" Zhao Zijing looked into the distance and said lightly.
"Childe, where?"
"Mass graves!" Zhao Zijing said in a low voice!
The mass grave in the suburbs of Luxian County is said to be a place of war in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After the battle between Chu and Han, corpses were everywhere overnight, and blood stained the sky; Crows and beasts scrambled for food, and the corpses were all over the field, so that the soil of the land was scarlet. According to the legend of the local elders, this place is extremely vicious, every moon and dark wind and high night, there are dark blue ghost fires floating everywhere here, which is sandwiched with the roar of ghosts, very terrifying, it is really an ominous place.
However, today's mass grave has a bold and strange man.
I saw him shuttling among the white bones and dead bodies in the mountains, looking left and right, as if he was looking for something. This person is undoubtedly Zhao Zijing.
"Gong,,, Gongzi, why are we coming here, the land of ghosts and gods, this place is extremely unknown, I heard that ,,," Zhao Zijing, who looked at Zhao Zijing who did not change his face, admired it a little, and said with some fear.
"Don't be afraid! When a person dies, his soul returns to Jiuquan, and his corpse becomes earth, there is nothing to be afraid of! Zhao Zijing said without looking back.
"But ,,," looked left and looked again. Suddenly, a wisp of ghost fire flashed in front of his eyes, his heart hurriedly retreated, his pupils dilated, and he said hesitantly: "Gong, Gong, Gong, Childe, ghost, ghost is coming!" This ghost fire flashed in front of his heart, and he ran towards Zhao Zijing again, trying to shout to remind Zhao Zijing, but the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
Hell yes! I thought to myself.
"Ghost fire is a substance on the corpse, called phosphorus, formed by burning at low temperatures. Don't be afraid, it's not what you call ghosts, it's just a natural phenomenon! After Zhao Zijing finished speaking, he also turned a deaf ear to the flashing ghost fire. Xin looked at the ghost fire floating in the air suspiciously, could it really be as Childe said, this is a natural formation?
"Finally found it!" Seeing a rotting corpse with a foul smell, Zhao Zijing said softly.
"This is ,,, Huang? Huang Ping's wife! I couldn't bear to look at it directly, but I still glanced at it and saw Huang's face clearly, after all, he had been a coolie in the Huang family for so many years, and he was already familiar with Huang.
"Alas! Dust to dust, soil to earth, I will bury you well today, and it will not be in vain for my friendship with Lao Huang! Zhao Zijing looked at Huang's lifeless face and said as if praying.
,,,,,,
Outside the mass grave, in a beautiful valley, a mound of graves has been erected, and the renovated soil still exudes the fragrance of flowers and plants, but a dead man is buried underground.
It turned out that Huang Chuping ordered the guards to abandon the bodies of Huang and Mrs. Huang into a mass grave, and the bodies of the two were discarded everywhere in the pile of bones. In a hurry, Zhao Zijing was busy exposing Huang Chuping's conspiracy, so he first found Mrs. Huang's body and exchanged it with the Xue family, but Huang's body was not found. Coming here today, I finally found the relics of Huang's dry bones.
Zhao Zijing built a bunch of wooden plaques, which were engraved by a blade dagger: The Tomb of the Deceased Wife Huang, and used internal force to insert the wooden plaques into the ground four or five inches to ensure that the wooden plaques would not be blown down by the storm. A bouquet of brightly colored wildflowers was placed in front of Huang's tomb, and Zhao Zijing burned some of the copper coin paper and yellow table paper he bought, and it was all done.
"The green mountains and rivers here are pleasant, and the sister-in-law will not be bored here. It's just that the lonely grave is here, and I can't recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and I have wronged my sister-in-law. Lao Huang went to the Great Wall, life and death are uncertain, maybe one day he can come back and see you sleeping here, he will be relieved,,," Zhao Zijing sat on a stubborn stone in front of the grave and said melancholy.
"Childe, it's not me who talks a lot. It's just that this Huang Ping is cold by nature, you treat him like this, and help him bury his wife, this love and righteousness can feel heaven and earth. But I'm afraid this Huang Ping won't remember your kindness,,," Xin said slowly.
"Heart! There is one kind of thing that does not benefit you in any way, but it has to be done, and that is the meaning of love. I do things without asking for anything in return, just for peace of mind, so I did ,,, do it. Zhao Zijing said.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, he waited aside and kept silent.
After a long time, Zhao Zijing turned around, examined his heart, and said: "Xiao Xianling told me that you are a descendant of the nobles of the Chu royal family, although I want to find a way to cover up the past for you. But, in fact, there are many suspicious aspects of your identity. ”
Shocked, he looked at Zhao Zijing's soul-piercing eyes, and said frankly: "Don't hide it from my son, I am a descendant of the Chu royal family, and I have been incognito in Lu Town, but I didn't expect to be discovered by the lackeys of the Qin State in the end." The eunuchs of the palace people were killed by the Qin army in order to protect me, and I was also taken into slavery, and under Huang Ping, I herded horses and sheep for him,,, this blink of an eye, that is, five years, I think I was still a boy with bunched hair, and now I have no long things, and no one is willing to be loyal to me,,,"
Zhao Zijing looked at his heart suddenly, and suddenly remembered that the historical records said: Fan Zeng, that is, the only strategist who was called the second father by Xiang Yuzun, in order to help Xiang Yu fight for the world, once admonished Xiang Yu to establish the descendants of the King of Chu as the King of Chu Huai, so Xiang Yu sent people to find the descendants of the King of Chu in the Jiujiang area, which is the bitter "heart" of herding sheep in Luzhen!
That is, the heart of this young man in front of him!
Fan Zengming was the first and the first to be confused, although he discovered the flaws of Xiang Yu's character in time, he was weakened by Liu Bang's use of counter-tactics to weaken his power in the army, and finally left angrily and died of illness on the way. This person has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and even Liu Bang often says: Xiang Yu has a fan increase and can't use it, so he is captured for me!
"It turned out to be you,,," Zhao Zijing stared at his heart and muttered.
"Childe, now that the six kingdoms are in the past, and the Qin State dominates the world, I just have the momentum of my ancestors. Now my only wish is to follow Childe, do a great career with Childe, and realize my ambition! The heart said on one knee.
"Ambition? What ambitions? Zhao Zijing asked.
"Although the king of Qin now dominates the world, he is invincible in what the soldiers point to. However, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and if the Qin State continues to do so, sooner or later there will be a catastrophe, and it will be a good time for us to reverse the situation and take charge of the world. I am willing to use my momentum to create a suitable opportunity for Childe to help Childe win the world! He said excitedly, looking at Zhao Zijing expectantly.
Zhao Zijing didn't speak, got up, looked at the north, looked at the heart again, and said slowly: "Heart? This name is too single, since you are the king of Chu, the surname of Chu is Xiong, and the men of the Spring and Autumn Period are generally called surnames and not names, among which Xiong is used by the king of Chu, and the state of Chu has long been wiped out. ”
Mi Xin saw that Zhao Zijing did not answer himself, and he was a little faintly lost, but when he saw Zhao Zijing justifying his name, his eyes lit up, which at least showed that Zhao Zijing did not have a clear refusal, it may be that the time has not come, and it is not easy to agree. The best plan is to talk about it at the right time and place, then Childe will definitely agree!
"Qi Xin, thank you Gongzi for his name, from now on, before and after the saddle, follow Gongzi and serve left and right!" Qi Xin half-knelt down again and said solemnly.
"Good, good! I don't want you to be a human being, just treat me as a friend, don't talk about these worldly etiquette between us, you know? Zhao Zijing helped Qi Xin up and said.
Qi Xin was overjoyed, which shows that Zhao Zijing did not regard himself as an outsider, but truly accepted himself!
"It's all over! Let's go! It's also good to go north to see the characters! Zhao Zijing looked at the north and was in a good mood, so he packed his bags and got on the horse while drinking and chanting poetry,,,
He did his own evil in life, and the disaster was unforgivable.
If you ask about the things of the world, there is no right or wrong.
If you want to get the wonderful emptiness, try to talk about the Tao Te Ching.
After life and life, it will eventually reach the gate of reincarnation.
,,,,,,
Riding on the horse and singing, the sunset slanted shadow, and the lonely shadow drifted farther and farther away in a sad song,,,
