Chapter 33 The Mandate of Heaven
Guan Yu was a little anxious in his heart, frowned and said, "Girl ask, Guan must know everything, and he will say everything." ”
Ruyan saluted him slightly, raised his head and asked, "May I ask the general, the Great Qi is extinguished, and the Great Chu is newly established." For the new monarch of Great Chu, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Where do we flee to find our lives? ”。
Guan Yu replied angrily: "The girl is too worried. The world is big, and the vertical and horizontal are more than thousands of miles. Even as the king of a country, he is not the one who has his hands and eyes, and the girl is far away, and he is beyond his reach. At first, people may be sent around to arrest them, but after a long time, they will forget about it, and the matter will eventually be over. What's more, with my subordinates protecting the safety of the two girls, there is no need to worry at all! ”。
Ruyan lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"And ......" The girl blinked her eyes and asked cautiously, "What danger does the general have when I go?" In case the Great Chu Monarch blames him, wouldn't the general be worried about his life? ”。
Guan Yu laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that we are sworn brothers? Besides, this general has a heavy army, and the imperial brother still expects me to personally lead the troops to cleanse the remnants of the Great Qi. ”
Ruyan looked at Guan Yu steadily, looked at it for a moment, lowered his head again, and pursed his lips. After thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly.
She sighed, exhaled like an orchid, and said softly: "Although the little girl is lonely and unheard, she is shallow in her knowledge and not deeply involved in the world, but she also understands some truths. Since ancient times, a companion is like a tiger. There is also a saying: The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. Even if he relies on you at the moment, he doesn't dare to punish lightly, and he will be peaceful in the world, but he is afraid that he will settle accounts after the autumn. …… Unless, the general can leave all the glitz behind and wander the world with us. ”
Guan Yu smiled and said: "The world has been decided, and bandits are rampant. The remnants of the Great Qi will also rise up at any time, disturbing the peace of the world. Although the Sprinkle family is the best scum, they also have the heart to calm the war and return the people of the world to a peaceful world, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment. What's more, there is a large group of brothers who were born and died together, how can they give up halfway? ”。
The girl sighed softly again, turned her back to Guan Yu and said, "Actually, the little girl is not as noble as the general thinks. If smoke is just a small dusty woman in the mortal world, she will also covet glory and wealth. I have been lonely and miserable all these years, and my heart is a little tired, if I am fortunate enough to be elected to the palace, I will not lose a good home. ”
Guan Yu was taken aback at first, raised his head slightly, and narrowed his eyes, wanting to observe the subtle changes in Ruyan's facial expression, so as to judge whether her remarks were from the bottom of her heart. How could Nai Ruyan always turn his back to him, and after saying the above words, he closed his lips tightly, quiet as a virgin.
Guan Yu shook his head helplessly, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: Sure enough, it is difficult to draw dragons and tigers, and it is difficult to draw bones, and you don't know your heart! Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, how can they force it? It seems that General Ben is troubled!
But he still didn't give up and asked: "What does Miss Ruyan mean......?" ”。
Ruyan slowly turned around, his face was still calm like water, and he replied with his eyes lowered: "That's right, General." The general's good intentions, the little girl's heart understood. After the general returned, he told the monarch of the Great Chu that the maiden had repented under the persuasion of the general and agreed to enter the palace to accompany her. ”
So far, although Guan Yu is full of displeasure, he is helpless. I had to clasp my fists and salute: "The girl's heart, this general will definitely convey it on your behalf." It's not early, so I'm going to leave! ”。 After saying that, he turned around and strode out the door.
Ruyan girl suddenly lifted the corner of her skirt, walked a few steps down the stairs, and called softly: "The general stays." ”
Guan Yu stopped, unwilling to turn around, turned his head and asked, "Dare to ask the girl what else is going on?" ”。
Ruyan was stunned, bowed to the ground solemnly, and replied: "The people's daughter once again sincerely thanks the general for his friendship, and the general walks slowly." Since then, you and I have our own destiny, and I hope that the general will cherish it. After that, she turned her head and whispered to the pothos behind her: "Pothos, you send the general on my behalf." ”
Green pothos lowered her head and followed behind Guan Yu, Guan Yu waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to board the boat again, turned his head and said to her: "The girl stays, there is no need to send each other." ”
Pothos stood quietly on the bow of the boat, watching the boat carrying everyone away glide into a long ripple on the dark water. After a moment of stupidity, he turned back to the unusually deserted cabin.
There was no figure of Sister Ruyan in the empty downstairs, and there was no piano sound, so Luluo had to move upstairs.
When I went up to the second floor and looked up, the pothos couldn't help but scream.
I saw a thick beam, tied with a three-foot white silk, like a smoke girl's slender body hanging in the air, and under her feet was a wooden bench that had been kicked over.
The pothos rushed forward like crazy, trying her best to lift Ruyan's body up. While crying loudly, he looked around blankly.
With a lot of effort, the pothos sweated profusely and put down the smoke from the white silk, moved her to the couch, and desperately pinched her people.
After a long while, the girl like smoke sighed and woke up slowly. When she saw that the figure in front of her was a green pothos, she couldn't help but slip two teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and murmured: "Silly sister, why do you have to save me?" Just let me go, and it's all over the place. ”
Green pothos didn't care about wiping the sweat on her face, and cried: "Sister, why are you doing this? If you go, in this chaotic world, the pothos has no relatives, and there is only one way to die! Can you bear to leave me alone? ”。
Ruyan closed her eyes slightly, her lips trembled and she stopped making a sound. Only the tears in the corners of the eyes slipped down one after another like pearls with broken threads.
Seeing that Ruyan's face was a little angry, and her thin lips were somewhat bloody, she calmed down a little. raised his hand to wipe his snot, and couldn't help but say: "Sister, you are so stupid, I think that General Guan is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, I used to blame him!" If you don't take the life path that he has planned for us, why do you want to kill yourself?! ”。
Ruyan shook his head softly and silently, still closing his lips and silent.
The green pothos gently grabbed a cold little hand in front of her chest, and her tearful eyes tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Sister, didn't you often persuade me before?" Stay alive! No matter how difficult the world is, there is hope only by living! ”。
Guan Yu came to the palace late at night, met Liu Qian, the emperor of Great Chu, and conveyed the thoughts of the girl like smoke.
Liu Qian, who was frowning, jumped up excitedly, praised the sixth brother for his greatness, and ordered someone to put wine and food on the table.
Three days later, Guan Yu was ordered to lead the troops on the expedition. Rushed to the place where the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was entrenched and swept away a small number of remnants of the Protector Army.
