CHAPTER XV

The capital has been quiet for a long day, and the streets seem cool and peaceful in the middle of the night.

Gongsun Ying walked on the way home with great interest.

Ever since I met Guiguzi at the teacher Li Kui's house, the two have been dating, and it seems that they hate to see each other late. The simple courtyard has become a paradise for a few people to talk about, singing and laughing every day until late at night.

Gongsun Ying felt more and more that Guigu's talents were unfathomable, and he knew everything about military affairs, martial arts, medicine, and eloquence. He had an inexplicable idea, how could such a person of his age have such a high ability, he studied since he was a few years old, and visited teachers all over the world, and it was nothing more than himself. With these questions, I asked the teacher again to understand that this is something that others can not seek, since he has the opportunity to meet Guiguzi, he will not miss this opportunity, he has secretly made up his mind, he must worship Guigu as a teacher.

Gongsun Ying saw the door of his uncle's mansion, and he climbed the stairs and entered through the door.

He said hello to the watchman's family and walked along the side road to the doorman's house.

He has been here for two years, and his motherland was occupied by Chu Weiqi in turn decades ago, until it ceased to exist. The relatives of the royal family died and fled, and there was no shadow of the royal family for a long time. With the help of the talents and world relations he learned, he walked into the uncle's mansion and became a guest, hoping to be reused by the King of Wei one day to achieve revenge for governing the country.

He walked quietly, for fear of disturbing the dreams of others.

Suddenly, he heard a shout from the inner courtyard, and he stopped to discern it.

Indeed, there were fights and shouts from the residence of the uncle of the courtyard. There must be something, Gongsun Ying pulled out his long sword and ran towards the back door. He knew that if a thief came into the hospital, he would go there.

The more he met the back door, the closer he found himself to the sound of the fight. He judged that the samurai in the inner court must be chasing the intruder, and this man was running towards the back door.

He touched the small door with his sword, and found that the link was broken, and the door was hidden.

He understood that the thief was ready, so he quickly locked the back door and searched the wall, and sure enough, a rope was connected to the high wall.

Without hesitation, he jumped to his feet and swung his sword to cut the rope.

At the same time, a dark shadow had jumped from the roof of the courtyard and was about to run to the back door.

Gongsun Ying waved his sword to stop him and fought with the masked man.

Although he couldn't see the other party clearly, Gongsun Ying could feel that the cold light of the sword revealed murderous intent and superb swordsmanship.

The other party was in a hurry to get out several times, but Gongsun Martingale saw through it, and Gongsun Martingale didn't give him the opportunity to smash the door and climb over the wall. He waited for the samurai inside to come and take down the thieves together.

The shouts and footsteps of the reinforcements were getting closer and closer, and Gongsun Martingale was getting braver and braver.

At the moment when he was wrong with the other party, Sun Ying smelled a very familiar breath, and he was startled, and he didn't dare to judge. So he made a dangerous move that Guiguzi had just taught him, the other party hooked lightly, and another back leaned back, easily dodging, he knew who the masked man was, but he didn't know why she came here.

Seeing that the samurai of the courtyard had approached, Gongsun Ying no longer hesitated, his body flashed back, and as soon as he let go of his sword, he turned around and ran to meet the samurai.

The black shadow took advantage of the run, leaned on the wall, and with another leap, disappeared outside the high wall.

When Gongsun Martingale and the samurai returned to the inner courtyard, there was already a cry inside.

The uncle's head was no longer flying, and a bleeding corpse was lying on the bed.

In another room, the eldest son of the uncle was also pierced through the heart by a sword and died on the ground, and in the corner of the wall next to him, a concubine was huddled there, trembling.

Gongsun Yingmu walked to his room, the master was gone, he was even more disappointed in his future, she came, he didn't know if it was friendship or...

Guigu rode a horse and ran on the ancient road, he was anxious and regretful.

When night came, he didn't know where he went, so he had to restrain his stiffness and circle his horse and walk back slowly.

He was worried about Zhu'er, she had grown up in Yunmeng Mountain since she was a child and had never gone out alone. In such a troubled world, a woman is the object of bullying wherever she goes, not to mention that she doesn't even have a relative.

You must find Zhu'er, take her back to Yunmeng Mountain, and never leave again. I want her to forget the hatred of the past and live a stable and happy life. This is what my mother expects, and what I expect.

The horse walked slowly, his mind analyzing.

Zhu'er went to Li Kui alone and said that she was Wu Qi's daughter. Li Kui told the story of her uncle's exclusion and framing of Wu Qi, which aroused her revenge.

She kept asking about the situation of Gongsun Ying's uncle's mansion, and then killed her uncle and his son. She took the head and went to the grave to make an offering, and she wanted to hide it, but she found her.

Guigu learned from the search of the Wei army in the capital this morning that there was a murder case in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he immediately thought of Zhu'er. He went straight to Zhu'er's room, she was not there, he asked Bird Slippery and his disciples, no one knew, he was sure that it must have been Zhu'er's doing.

He flew straight to the Li Mansion, and he was worried all the way, for fear that Zhu'er would be caught by the government. When Li Kui heard that Zhu'er had just left after inquiring about his ancestral grave, he relieved himself and chased him outside the city.

Sure enough, Pearls knelt down in front of the barren grave.

"Pearl!" Guigu shouted. "You promised your mother and husband, they raised you and taught you to let you understand the great road of the world, and there will be no more killing, how can you still do this never-ending thing of grievances and grievances!"

"Brother Guigu, I don't want to either, but when I heard the word uncle, I remembered that my mother was coaxed and bullied by him, and it was he who let Zhu'er live alone in this world."

"I said, Zhu'er, there is my mother and me, we are all relatives."

"Brother Guigu, get rid of the traitor and eliminate the evil, is this still wrong, even the birds know how to punish the evil and promote the good, not to mention that he and I have a grudge against the family!"

"Zhu'er, you have forgotten what Mr. said, who can decide. The candidates are greedy and selfish, pretending to be the way of heaven, doing unrighteous acts, killing constantly, and ruining lives. And the king uses high-ranking officials and wealth as bait, covets the covetous, and aids the abuse, how to talk about treachery, loyalty, and goodness! ”

He pulled up the beads and took them in his arms. "Zhu'er, let's go back to Yunmeng Mountain! Leave tomorrow! ”

"But Mr. wants you to go through it!"

"No, I don't want you to do this anymore, what we taught in Yunmeng Mountain will also let you and me have a happy home."

"I've been thinking about this day for a long time, Brother Guigu!" Zhu'er hugged Guiguzi tightly.

They returned to their residence and told Mo Zhai about their idea of going back.

Mo Zhai pondered for a moment before saying: "Mr. Guigu, you are humble in the mission of killing soldiers, you have just entered the world, and you have not yet investigated everything, An Neng can understand the method of killing soldiers, or think twice!" Don't let your husband down. ”

"But I'm worried about Zhu'er, she..." Guiguzi was helpless.

"I can guess." He turned to Pearl. "Pearl Woman, since ancient times, great virtue and small righteousness coexist, giving small righteousness and abandoning great virtue, just a brave man, and I hope that Pearl Woman will follow the master's teachings, forget hatred, and don't defile your sacred heart."

"The pearl has defiled the Sacred Heart!" Pearls turned and ran out.

"Brother Mo, Zhu'er is still young, don't remember it."

"I always say that great love can help everything, it seems that it is not easy to let everyone in the world have great love!"

"Brother Mo's great love must be what he yearns for in his life, and it is also the way of heaven, long-term and ambitious, how can a short-sighted person understand."

"Mr. Guigu's theory of killing soldiers is really a unified idea. How to unify, hundreds of schools, Mr. has a long way to go! I have invited a few virtuous people to meet in these days. ”

"Guigu met Brother Mo and benefited a lot."

"Wei Du gathers wise men from all over the world, and it is inevitable that people who are unpredictable will be difficult to argue between true and false, and Mr. Guigu needs to learn from himself!"

"Brother Mo rest assured, Guigu is proficient in Zhou Yi, and I still want to try it!"

"I heard that you want to take Gongsun Ying as an apprentice, but is there such a thing?"

"He is a friend of the same age, but he has great ambitions, and I also think that this son is teachable, and I am hesitating."

"Spreading the holy virtues and practicing the art of inaction, how can Mr. do it alone. There must be countless responders before it can be implemented! ”

"Brother Mo supports, Guigu is at ease! Otherwise, I'm afraid to laugh! ”

"Preach and solve doubts, what the great virtue does, Mr. Guigu is prepared!"

"Confucian Confucius advocates education without class, and this ghost valley does not dare to agree."

"In your opinion?"

"Teach because of the person, teach because of the time, just like Brother Mo makes different instruments because of the city and uses different benevolent people!"

Mo Zhai nodded and smiled.

After Guigu and Mo Zhai finished talking, they went straight to Zhu'er's room, he wanted Zhu'er to understand Mo Zhai's kindness, but Zhu'er was not there, and her things were not there.

Guigu felt that something was wrong, and ran to the courtyard to ask the bird slippery, only to know that she had led the horse out.

Guigu knew that Zhu'er didn't understand Mo Zhai's words, so after telling Mo Zhai, he led the horse to find it.

In the dark night, the cold wind gusted, the trees and wild grass swayed, and the howl of wolves could be heard from time to time in the distance.

The horse sneezed, stopped, and scraped the ground with its hooves.

Guiguzi raised his eyes and looked around, all of them were Hesse Forest, and he was even more worried about Zhu'er.

He pulled his horse and walked slowly, until he finally saw a light.

When I got closer, it turned out to be a miscellaneous house in the field. He wondered if it wasn't harvest season, so how could there be anyone? If you look closely, there are horses and caravans outside, which are not like farmhouses.

Guigu became cautious, he tied his horse to the distance, and walked lightly to the miscellaneous room.

Inside, there were voices of men talking and women crying.

Guigu leaned lightly close to the window.

The windows were nailed with planks, but there were gaps.

Through the gap, he saw a beautiful woman with tall hair tied in a brocade dress tied in the corner, and she was sobbing. On the other side, the two women were naked and tied together.

The man's voice came from the other room, and he leaned into the other window.

Through the gap, three men excitedly ate, drank, and talked, with swords beside them.

"Leave tomorrow morning, what should I do with those two maids?"

"Of course it's killed, you can still take it with you for such a long journey!"

"This life can be regarded as a blessing, even the princess's maid ring can be enjoyed."

"If the princess also lets us enjoy it, it will be beautiful."

"Nonsense, look at you like that, you dare to think about this, it is only the prince and grandson who can marry!"

"Isn't she in our hands now?"

"The prince has something to say, who dares to touch the princess with a finger and destroy the door! Zhu Jiu clan. ”

"This time we have also made meritorious contributions, and the prince will be rewarded for dedicating this daughter to the queen, and the prince will definitely reward us."

"What do you want Childe to reward?"

"Reward a girl! The women in Gongzi's mansion are all the best in our Chu country, more than the king of Chu! ”

"It's really useless, I know women, I want to let Childe reward me as a warrior before the battle, and don't do this sneaky thing again."

"How can this be called a sneaky thing, Childe said, we are the ones who know the art of war,"

"I'm done eating, I'm going to enjoy it again, so as not to kill it later!"

Guigu was shocked, this Wei Du is indeed the focus of the spying of all the candidates, and any means can be used. This must be the Chu people kidnapping the princess and then blackmailing the King of Wei!

He wanted to ignore it, but there was a human life.

He walked around to the door, kicked it open, and before they could react, he subdued them to the ground with his palm.

The three of them trembled in horror and shouted for mercy.

"I don't ask you who you work for, and it doesn't matter what nationality you are from." Guiguzi pulled the three of them together. "What is the difference between doing such a lewd thing and wanting to kill someone, and being a robber. ! Tell your masters, don't use this shameful method between nations. ”

The trio crawled into the darkness in a row.

He went into the house and cut the rope with his sword, and when he saw them flustered, he turned sideways and said, "Get dressed, and I'll take you into the city in a moment." ”

"Thank you for the rescue, I am the little daughter of the King of Wei, and I was robbed by the spies of their Chu State on the way back to the capital from Linjin during the day. Dare to ask the name of the strong man, I will definitely add an official and receive a reward for you in front of my father! ”

"I really didn't save you, I saved these two killed people, no need to thank you, let's leave quickly!"

Guigu put on the carriage, placed the three of them to do it, tied his horse and the rest behind, and drove forward.

In the dark night, the old horse knew the way and let Guiguzi relax. Slowly walking, naturally chatted about the incident.

It turned out that the king of Wei had been at war with Qin in the west all these years, and Qi in the east wanted to take the opportunity to attack Wei. King Qi's favorite concubine was the daughter of the prince of Wei, and he sent someone to inform the king of Wei early. The king of Wei was worried about the enemy, so he convened the ministers to discuss the matter, and the prince suggested that he should send an envoy to the state of Qi as soon as possible to marry the princess Wenxiu, the beloved daughter of the king of Wei, and the prince of Qi to show a hundred years of goodness. Wait for the pacification of the Qin State, and then repay the hatred of the Qi State taking advantage of the danger of others.

Prince Wei has sent an envoy to the State of Qi to negotiate marriage, and he is waiting for Princess Wenxiu to marry Prince Qi.

As soon as Princess Wenxiu wants to marry Qi Guo, it may be difficult to come back in this life, so she wants to go to Linjin to incense before parting with life. Unexpectedly, on the way back, Jing was captured by the spies of the Chu State, and wanted to escort her to the Chu State in order to coerce the King of Wei to cut out the land of the Chu State he occupied.

The princess couldn't stop crying at this point. "Thinking about my father's mouthful and sweethearted baby, Jing is willing to exchange me as an item."

Guigu remembered what Shen, the son of Zhao said, that the king of Chu had used the partition of Wei as a bait to join forces to attack Wei, and the Qin State also used ten cities as bait to join forces to attack Wei. It seems that although this Wei State is a vain alliance leader, it is the target of ten thousand arrows! Even a princess has not escaped the suffering of war, let alone the home of ordinary people. Today, she was rescued from the Chu people, who can guarantee that tomorrow will not be the fire pit of the Qi people!

Even if the ghost valley has feelings, it can only sigh emptyly. The nations are not the only kings who have ill intentions.
