Chapter 460: Death Deserved
The old man subconsciously stood up from the edge of the table, his knee touched the corner of the table, and the wine glass on the top jumped up and poured it at once, and the wine flowed onto the table. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the old man shook his fist and asked, "Where did you two come from?" Nishikawa-in Temple...... You can control us! Do you know that this is the junction of Langzhou, Jingzhou and Qianzhou? Regardless of the three state capitals, it's your turn to be Sawey! ”
The old man's words cheered up his three sons, and the three of them, who were originally a little frightened, also jumped up at this time and said, "What kind of official are you?" If you dare to speak so boldly, if you are not honest, I will stuff you into the salt well, and see how you are still swaggering! ”
Saying that, the three brothers jumped over and surrounded Li Shen and Wang Wenchen, and there were already two people holding Li Shen one by one so that he couldn't move. The third child pulled out a hemp rope out of nowhere, took it and said, "Dad, forget about strangling them, you don't have to report the news." Wang Wenchen was ignored on the side, but his face was also frightened.
Li Shen and Wang Wenchen waited on the road for a while, but they didn't see anyone behind to catch up. Wang Wenchen proposed that the two of them walk slowly on the road, waiting for the three people behind them as they walked. But Li Shen couldn't let go of it in his heart, and finally the two returned to look for it along the road.
They groped and walked on the mountain road for a long time but did not see anyone, and when it was dark, Wang Wenchen said, "Lord Li, the matter of Ezhou is waiting for us to rush back to report to Lord Assassin Shi, it is better to ......."
Li Shen waved his hand and said reluctantly, "Don't say it!" I can't find Miss Li Ying, I don't care if he is a big deal or not, continue to look for it! In this way, the two of them walked in the dark, and they couldn't walk anymore. I spent half a night under the big tree, and then continued to look for it.
How could it be that in the reckless mountains, except for the strange mountains and jungles, there was not even a person to inquire about the Tao, and even the two of them lost their way later. In the early hours of the morning, I finally saw four figures rushing towards me from a short distance. They couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that these four people must be locals, so as long as they follow them, they will definitely be able to walk on the road.
These people in the courtyard kept talking just now, and no one noticed the two of them. Although Li Shen and Wang Wenchen didn't hear Gao Jun say anything about Liaodong and Euphorbia, they listened to Xin Laohan's words completely.
Li Shen also saw that Miss Li Fanying was there, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, he intended to show off in front of Miss Li, so he didn't ask about it and jumped out to say something.
Now that Miss Li is watching in front of her, although Li Shen is terribly scared, she still refuses to give in. If these people are scared all of a sudden, how will they face Miss Li? Li Shen straightened his neck, "What kind of rope do you bother to take, don't you even have a broken knife?" Come over here and see me frown! ”
Gao Jun, Liu Yuru, and Fan Ying sat there and watched without squeaking, especially Gao Juncheng wanted to see if Li Shen's hardness was real, which caused a misunderstanding for the Xin family brothers. At that time, the boss raised his foot and kicked Li Shen's thigh, "No matter how tough you are, our Engong just said that there is no chicken, so this will kill you to fill the number!" ”
The third child went up and tied up Wang Wenchen first. Wang Wenchen was a civil official, how could he have the strength to resist, and he became a zongzi at that time, and then he was stuffed with a rag in his mouth, and he became more and more honest.
Li Shen stammered, "If you want to kill...... Kill, don't expect me to give in! ”
Lao Dao, "I still need to kill you, just like he tied, and then throw you deep into the mountains, tomorrow morning the wild wolf will gnaw you to only bones and sticks!" As he spoke, he tied Li Shen up like this, "Squat aside, and when we have eaten, we will send you up the mountain after dark." ”
Saying that, the four of them sat back and said to Gao Jun, "Engong, you have seen a smile, no one has been here for a long time, I can't imagine that these two dogs will come to spoil our good interest!" As he spoke, these people toasted Gao Jun and the three of them together.
The woman whispered, "Father, we don't want to kill like this, and besides, they just don't agree...... We can't discuss it properly, as long as they don't say it, we'll let them go. ”
Lao Du said, "Can you believe such a person?" Eat people without spitting out bones. ”
Li Shen said on the side, "It's ridiculous that you don't know Mount Tai with eyes!" Do you know who is sitting at the table? They are the eldest lady and the third lady of Lord Li of Liangzhou Thorn History, this Gao brother is the eldest aunt of Li Thorn History, they are not from the official mansion? How do you favor one over the other! ”
Gao Jun knew that Li Shen was pulling himself out to strengthen his courage, and the implication was also to remind himself: You are also a person in the government, why don't you save yourself when you see death? He was also letting the family know that he was the acquaintance of their guests.
Gao Jun glanced at Li Shen and asked him to calm down. Li Shen understood, and he was more confident when he spoke, "The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and died for state affairs, he really died a well-deserved death!" The third child of the Xin family was facing him, raised his hand and threw a pheasant bone that he had gnawed, and shouted, "Shut up!" Li Shen was so frightened that he was speechless.
The old man hugged his fists and said, "It turns out that Engong is the fast son-in-law of Liangzhou Li Thorn History, and I think this Lord Thorn Shi must be a clean official!" What like them! ”
Fan Ying said, "That is, my father is the biggest Qing official in the world, but he is not comparable to ordinary people who show their teeth and claws." ”
The old man said again, I don't know if Engong just said that he had been to the front line in Liaodong, so he must have seen some battles, and the old man admired it so much, so he gave Engong a cup first. Raise a glass to each other.
Gao Jun said, "I just came back from there, and what I saw and encountered was very emotional...... Listen to the meaning of the old man's words, have you been there too, old man? ”
The old man immediately talked more, and because of the wine, he talked about his past.
He said that I participated in the last expedition to Goryeo at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and I really escaped death at that time. The Sui army was not in a good situation, and when the army withdrew, all the grain and grass and corpses everywhere were discarded under the city of Liaodong, and they did not even have time to bury them. I crawled out of the pile of dead bodies, and in the dark I heard the moaning of the dying everywhere, but I couldn't care about them anymore!
As he spoke, he bare half of his upper arm, revealing a shocking scar that had been slashed with a single blow. At this time, the skin and flesh had grown, but a small purple ridge had risen at the edge of the knife. "I was seriously injured and couldn't care for them, so I could only watch these people fend for themselves."
The trouser leg was rolled up again, and there was a long knife mark on the right calf, which made the person who saw it take another breath. And Li Shen watched it from the side, and he was much more honest. I only heard the old man say again, "I climbed back from there step by step!" Pity those brothers! The old man said and wiped his eyes regardless of the presence of everyone.
Gao Jun couldn't help but be in awe of the old man, it turned out that he was also a person who sacrificed his life for the country. While comforting the old man, he said, "I was fortunate to go to the Liaodong battlefield this time, and I felt a lot. ”
Everyone hurriedly asked him how he felt.
Gao Jun said, "This time there are only more than 100,000 people in the Tang army, do you know how many people there are in Goryeo?" There are 250,000 reinforcements that I know of! ”
The old man was very sensitive to such a thing, and hurriedly asked, "I also heard that His Majesty the Emperor is personally recruited, and our Datang men and horses are attacking the city again, so isn't it the enemy on the back of the belly?" Liaodong City is not so easy to attack! ”
Gao Jun said, "I can feel it from the old uncle's words, and the old man also hopes that the Tang army will win a big victory, which will not only anger the past brothers but also wash away the national shame." It seems that everyone is thinking the same thing about this war related to the fortunes of the country, so it is not surprising that this expedition to Goryeo was able to win a complete victory. ”
"When I came back, I also met hundreds of soldiers and civilians from Youzhou and Yingzhou, who braved the heavy snow to build the Tang Army's grain road in the mud, and repaired it for seventy or eighty miles, and even the women and children came out in the snow, have they ever thought about asking for a few taels or taels?"
The second said, "Now is different from then, and besides, there is no war ...... here" (to be continued.) )
