Chapter 321: Ten Years Later, Laughing at Enmity
After checking the identities and credentials of Lihua and the others, the Shenjing officials who managed the post house allowed these Qin people, who seemed to have experienced the war, to lead the horses away. It was as if they didn't care what was going on in the city of Shenjing.
"It seems that Wang Ji Chengping has been in peace for hundreds of years, so the people here have become without any sense of crisis.
This city seems to be the best in the world, but unfortunately it is just a little girl who is bullied by others. ”
After getting back on the road, Zhao Zhihai, who was riding on the horse, turned his head to look in the direction of Wang Ji again, sighed and spoke.
"Look, the enemy is attacking in the direction of Wangji!"
Zhao Zhihai had just turned his head and was about to hit his horse and move forward, when he suddenly heard a soldier shouting behind his ears.
He turned his head to look again, and saw that the official road on Wang Ji's side was indeed thick smoke and dust, as if a group of men and horses was galloping in the direction of his own people.
He just wanted to shout loudly for the soldiers to set up the formation, but suddenly thought that the soldiers beside him were no longer his subordinates, and he couldn't help but be stunned, coughed lightly, and turned his head to look at the frowning and silent Zhu Lihua.
I saw that Lihua was also observing the comers, but after a few breaths, he beckoned, and the thousand generals called Mao Biao beat the horse and walked to Lihua's side, dismounted and bent down while listening to Lihua's whispers, while constantly nodding.
After Mao Biao turned around and left to arrange the formation, Zhu Lihua said to Mi Chunxi beside him: "I'm afraid that the three hundred soldiers surrendered by the fourth princess are not suitable for combat now, and it is better to ask the princess to lead them to take the first step." ”
Mi Chunxi didn't say much when she heard this, she nodded and gestured slightly to Lihua, and immediately led more than 300 Chu State foot soldiers to leave in the direction of Bishan Mountain in the north.
She had no objection to Lihua's arrangement, because she was not sure whether the more than 300 soldiers of the Chu State who had surrendered to themselves at the south gate of the palace last night would return to the water again.
After Mi Chunxi left, Mao Biao led 500 cavalry to line up in Lihua and more than 300 foot soldiers, when everything was ready, everyone looked at the cavalry of more than 1,000 invading cavalry, those cavalry from the direction of Wangji had also come to the front of the people in Lihua.
It's just that Zhu Lihua didn't order Mao Biao to outflank him in a roundabout way according to the plan he had just thought of, but watched without moving at all when the person arrived a hundred steps in front of his formation, and then waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't have to worry.
Mao Biao, who got the order, shouted, only to see that the foot soldiers in the formation who had already drawn the bowstrings put down the strong bows in their hands one after another. But they still watched Mao Biao vigilantly, ready to be ordered to kill the incoming offender at any time.
Except for Gu Daoyuan, all of the people here were generals or leaders who had gone through countless battles, so in fact, when they saw that the more than 1,000 cavalrymen dressed in Rong costumes began to slow down when they came to the first three hundred paces, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this battle would not be fought after all.
And Gu Daoyuan also sensed this from everyone's faces, so he also stroked his three-foot long hair and squinted his eyes to look at the person.
However, just by glancing at those Rong people a hundred steps away, Gu Daoyuan's hand froze in mid-air. He frowned and squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, only then did he realize that the person he saw was the young man he had once known so well.
It's just that the young man has become middle-aged at the moment, but his arrogance is still so conspicuous and eye-catching.
Gu Daoyuan stretched out his hand tremblingly, and his lips were constantly trembling, as if he wanted to call out the person's name, but he found that his tongue no longer listened to him in a violent trembling, so he couldn't even say a word.
Zhao Zhihai looked at Gu Daoyuan beside him a little strangely, and then he looked in the direction that Gu Daoyuan pointed to, but saw that the clothes worn by those Rong cavalry were extremely chaotic, so he looked at it for a long time and didn't see what caused Gu Daoyuan to become like this.
But Zhu Lihua's words shocked him, and he looked at the Narong cavalry again.
"Xiao Da Danyu, don't come for a few years, don't come unharmed."
As soon as Lihua's words fell, I saw more than a dozen cavalrymen in the Rong army formation breaking away from the army formation and slowly walking in the direction of Lihua. When they were fifty steps away from Lihua and the others, they slowly stopped.
At this time, one of the slightly chubby middle-aged men who was quite different shook the feather fan in his hand and put on a threatening face towards Zhu Lihua, and said coldly:
"Where's Xin'er? Give her back to me. If you've had enough, it's time to go home.
You kids, you really break my heart. ”
Xiao Jinxing looked at Yu Lihua, who seemed a little helpless after hearing the words, and saw that he was silent for a long time, and thought that he didn't want to hand over Yu Xin'er, so after a while, he changed his kind expression and smiled slightly and said again:
"General Yuli, if Ben Shan Yu wants to force Xin'er to come back, it will only be a matter of flicking his fingers.
Over the years, Ben Shan Yu has allowed your development in Hexi and Hedong, just because he doesn't want to embarrass my Xin'er, don't you understand my intentions?
In two years, after I have calmed down the world, I will marry Xin'er to you, why are you two so stubborn and insist on opposing me? ”
Xiao Jinxing patiently opened his mouth to persuade, his words were full of the elder's earnest concern, where was there a trace of singleness.
It's just that these words have another rather ironic meaning in the ears of Zhu Lihua.
Zhu Lihua arched his hand to Xiao Jinxing and said: "Xiao Dadan's words are wrong, Zhu Li has been operating in Hexi and Hedong for several years, but it is not Xiao Dadan's laissez-faire move to be compassionate to me.
Could it be that Xiao Dadanyu forgot that after your army pacified the Quartet, he immediately turned against the soldiers of Hexi and Hedong counties.
Moreover, Xiao Da Shan Yu wants to calm the world, although his ambition is admirable, but unfortunately, as long as I am still a member of Hexi and Hedong, I am afraid that Shan Yu's wish is not as easy as you say.
What's more, Shan Yu's words completely meant to solicit me to surrender, but Yu Li was born as a Qin person and died as a Qin ghost. Father's revenge and national shame have not yet had time to be avenged, how can they make the move of recognizing the thief as their father. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Lihua turned his eyes to Nangong Yu beside Xiao Jinxing and the warriors who were obviously wearing Wang Ji Tiger Ben armor, among them was Zheng Long, who bowed his head and didn't dare to look at him.
What kind of character Xiao Jinxing was, how could he be angered by Zhu Lihua's words, he just shook his head and no longer opened his mouth to persuade Zhu Lihua, but looked at Zhu Lihua's side.
When he saw Zhao Zhihai, Xiao Jinxing's pupils were obviously congregated, but after a while, they returned to normal, and when he looked to the side, he saw Gu Daoyuan looking at him blankly, with an incredible look on his face.
Xiao Jinxing pondered for a few breaths, then sighed and hugged his fists to Gu Daoyuan and said with a smile: "Lord Zaizuka, more than ten years have passed in a hurry, but Lord Zaizuka's look still makes Xiao admire him." ”
As soon as Xiao Jinxing's words were finished, he saw that Gu Daoyuan was suddenly shocked, raised his hand again and pointed at Xiao Jinxing and said, "Xiao Jin, you are really Xiao Jin." ”
Xiao Jinxing smiled slightly: "It's the kid, Master Gu is okay." ”
"Xiao Jin."
Just as Xiao Jinxing and Gu Daoyuan were answering questions, I saw Zhao Zhihai suddenly raise his head and stare at Xiao Jinxing, looking up and down at this man who once made him hate him.
"Lord Zhao, don't come unharmed."
Xiao Jinxing sighed slightly and said to Zhao Zhihai.
At this moment, Rao is heart is like an abyss with no bottom, but when he looked at the white-haired Zhao Zhihai, his eyes were still sad, and there was a slight tremor in his voice when he spoke.
This old man is Qing'er's father in the end, and he is the woman he loves most in his life besides himself.
For more than ten years, he has endured humiliation in order to take revenge. One of the goals of this attack on Qin was to take revenge on this cold-blooded old stubborn who had prevented him from being with Qing'er.
But now, when he found that the enemy who was once different from Dai Tian had become the appearance of the last years of the wind and candle, his rock-solid heart suddenly became soft at some point.
"The old man once guessed that the one who destroyed my Great Qin might be you, because according to your ability, you are fully capable of doing such an earth-shattering feat of crying ghosts and gods.
I know that you complain about me in your heart.
So you killed my Great Qin, maybe just to take revenge on the old man.
The old man still remembers the situation when he was at the Huangtian Ferry, when you were just a Shu clan official who was forced by my daughter to die, but in just over ten years, you have become a generation of heroes who dominate the world.
Thinking back to what Qing'er said to me back then, word for word came true, this girl really didn't look at the wrong person. ”
Zhao Zhihai muttered to himself, but his gaze gradually became deeper, as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, back to the situation when he watched his daughter draw her sword and threaten him angrily by the border of the Great Qin Territory.
"So you have already guessed that I am the one of the Rong people, but you don't blame me?"
Xiao Jinxing waited until the old man finished speaking, and asked suspiciously.
"Why should I blame you?"
After a long time, Zhao Zhihai slowly replied.
"I stopped you from being with Qing'er because Qing'er is my daughter.
Let's ask what father in the world would watch his daughter become the object of ridicule of the world because of her marriage to the Shu clan. What father would sit back and watch his daughter being pointed at behind the back for the rest of her life.
So, it's not wrong for me to stop you guys from being together.
And you have a deep affection for my daughter, and daring to assassinate Duke Qi alone in the Blue Dragon Hall that day is enough to prove that my daughter is not a human being. Besides, in order to take revenge, you have endured humiliation and stealing your life outside the Cyprus for more than ten years, and now you are finally able to kill the people you want to kill, destroy the country you want to destroy, and take revenge on what you want to avenge.
How can such a happy ending not be admirable.
What's wrong with you?
Why should I blame you?
If my daughter could see what you have achieved today, she would come to me and taunt me.
Since she was a child, she loved to do things different from other girls to prove that she was different, so every time I returned to Suibei from Xijing, she would taunt me when I deliberately didn't understand what she was doing. ”
When Zhao Zhihai said this, he actually smiled slightly, and then he looked up at Xiao Jinxing and said with a smile: "Qing'er will be proud of you." Just as she once revered me.
I used to blame you for taking my daughter away from me, but as the years went by, I didn't think so anymore.
Qing'er's choice is her own choice, even if she is finally forced to death by Xiao Zishuo, it is also her willing choice.
Master Gu once told me that she had the opportunity to leave the Qi Kingdom, but she chose to go back to save you. At that moment, she had already made her choice. ”
