Chapter 60: The Mysterious Assassin Appears
The sergeant scratched his head, "He just said he was looking for a general, not which general." "Such a strange person, what is the origin, is he alone?" "It's not a man, he's like a god." Xu Yuan looked at Ren Qiu: "The gods have come to our Handan, so the general should deign to see it." Ren Qiu nodded, "That being the case, I'm afraid I want to see it." The two of them walked forward with the guidance of the soldier, and suddenly the soldier took out a short sword, and in the middle of the city they were about to die. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ren Qiu was about to retreat again and again, and Xu Yuan kicked him on the wrist. I saw that the man let go of the short sword in pain, and Xu Yuan then kicked him in the cheek, and the soldier fainted directly. Seeing that the man fainted, Ren Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Come on, punish this person severely, be sure to ask the mastermind behind him before he dies!" ”
turned around and looked at Xu Yuan, who was also shocked, and saw that the soldier was taken away, and only then did he notice Ren Qiu's eyes. He smiled a little embarrassedly, "Take advantage of the fact that the weapon in your hand is not there, so that the general can see it." Ren Qiu patted him on the shoulder: "Handan is not peaceful these days, it seems that your spear can't be separated from you." The two of them ignored this farce, and then inspected the various positions above the castle tower, and arranged for the craftsmen to repair it. When it was time to finally go back, Ren Qiu had to take Xu Yuan to sit in his governor's mansion, but Xu Yuan couldn't help it, so he had to follow.
In the house, you can see the original carved beams and paintings, which is extremely luxurious. But for some reason, the decorative gold and jade vessels, the hanging silk curtains and other things are all gone, and there is basically only a house left bare. Xu Yuan pointed to these things, but he was a little surprised, and he hurriedly asked, "General, where are the things in this mansion?" "It's full." "Why isn't Mrs. Sister-in-law at home today?" "The soldiers' clothes are torn, and the lady has taken a few women from private families to sew clothes for them, and they will not be able to return until the evening." Xu Yuan admired it incomparably, he looked at these bare houses, like women who had been stripped of their clothes, and under these covers, it was not a graceful body, but the naked and corrupt situation of the officials.
"In fact, there have been many unpeaceful things in the city these days, and the axle of Madame's carriage has been damaged several times, but fortunately it was discovered in time and did not cause any serious disasters." "Even if it's so dangerous, does my sister-in-law still have to go to the barracks? It's okay to wait a few days. "She can't rest assured that Liqiu, she said, every time she looks at these small mouths that haven't grown hair, she thinks of Liqiu, so it's always difficult to rest assured." "The general has made such a sacrifice for the great cause of his family and country, Xu admires." "Alright, let's get up. In the past few days, I haven't found anyone in the city who has made trouble, so I can only grieve you to live with me for a few days, but fortunately, you haven't got a family yet, which is also convenient. ”
At night, the two generals were drinking in the palace, and a soldier came to report: "Two generals, the traitor has been recruited." Ren Qiu stood up, "Who are you recruiting?" "Yes, it's an errand officer in the governor's palace, and we've arrested him now." "Just a little master, he wouldn't dare to do this kind of thing if he was given the courage to do it, and then checked." "Yes, General, what about the principal?" "Anyway, he's the one who assassinated us, why don't you meet him?" Xu Yuan asked tentatively, and Ren Qiu nodded: "It's okay, I also want to see which way this immortal is." ”
The soldiers brought horses and wanted the two of them to ride, but Ren Qiu waved his hand: "Forget it, there is not much grain and grass to eat in the city, give it to people to eat, and give it to them." The two of us just walked there, and the prison was not far away, so it was considered to be a meal. Xu Yuan nodded, and the two of them walked through the city, and Ren Qiu began to tell him about the strategy used by the Qin Wangjun in these attacks on the topography of this Handan City, as well as the damage to the city towers and dwellings. As far as this city is concerned, it is already full of holes, if he doesn't come, I'm afraid that Handan City will be broken when King Qin's army charges next time.
Outside the gate of the prison, Xu Yuan walked in and took a look, not to mention the jailer, even the prisoner could hardly be seen. The hapless Assassin was held in the prison of Notda. "General, why are there no prisoners in prison?" Ren Qiu smiled embarrassedly: "You said this, there were originally prisoners, but later the soldiers of the Qinwang Army came to attack, and there were heavy casualties in the city, so I filled all those prisoners." "Walking up to the assassin, this man was already dying, but when he saw the two of them coming to see him, he pursed the corners of his lips in disdain." Why did you assassinate me both? "I said, these are all things that Master Cao asked me to do." "Master Cao has been in the mansion all the time, he has no reason to do this!"
"If it's not him, how can I know which one your lady's car is? How can I get into the house? General Ren, you don't really think that you are extremely noble, and everyone should admire you, right? If you get in the way of others, you deserve to die. He looked at Ren Qiu with a cruel smile, his eyes full of viciousness. You think I'm the only one who hates you? Ask the children of dead fathers and mothers of dead sons in the city, and ask them if they hate you! You who hold power in your hands, put the life and death of the people on the line, and no matter how many people die in your mouth, it seems like an honor worthy of boasting, will your hearts really not hurt? ”
Ren Qiu looked at him coldly: "How old are you this year?" Nineteen years old. "At the beginning of last year, there was a snowstorm in Zhili, you should remember, how many people died? Do you know? There are hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children who have been crushed to death. But those court officials used the people's life-saving money to build mansions and recruit Mei Ji. Do you know? War does harm the people, but only after peace can justice be restored to the people. This is not a game of power, this is what the people must do in order to change their fate. "You said that after the peace, but which dynasty and which generation did not have corrupt officials? Can you guarantee it? What guarantees do you take, do you really think you can? ”
The assassin laughed, and the sergeant next to him couldn't stand it and slapped him, but he still didn't change his expression, but the mockery in his eyes became more intense. "Joke! You're a joke! Do you think you can change greed? Do you think you can put an end to the suffering of the people? Any autumn, you don't really think you're okay, do you? Xu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, and waved his hand to let the soldiers drag him down, leaving only a burst of wild laughter in the corridor, and nothing else.
