Chapter 50: Farewell
Hearing the old man say that Lu Ming was seriously injured when he was sent in, Liu Kan couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with a straight face: "Although General Lu Ming is a Qin army, he is a hero in the end, even if he doesn't treat him well, don't deliberately bully, you know?" ”
The old man has been in this prison for more than 40 years, and he has already trained a pair of fiery eyes, how could he not see that Chen Sheng and the others wanted to recruit each other, and now that Liu Kan has come to visit in person, he knows how important it is.
Bowing down and nodding, the old man said, "The subordinates understand, the subordinates understand." ”
Chen Sheng asked Liu Kan to come over and persuade Lu Ming, Liu Kan didn't want others to be there to disturb him, so he raised his chin to the old man and said, "Push it down, no one is allowed to approach here without my order." ”
Leaving the key to the old house to Liu Kan, the old man was ordered to retreat with a few nearby guards.
After everyone had withdrawn, Liu Kan concentrated on looking at the cell, and I had to say that Chen Sheng was really concerned about persuading Lu Ming to surrender.
The cells were placed against the walls on three sides, leaving only a narrow wooden door for people to enter and exit, which was so well concealed that it was difficult for people to see inside without entering.
With the "click" of the key, the chain on the door was opened, and Liu Kan walked in.
There is nothing lit in the cell.,It's obviously morning, but a lot of oil lamps have been lit.,Bean-sized flames jump on the candlestick to fill this not too wide room.,And the protagonist who Liu Kan came to visit this time sat on the only stone bed in the cell.,Daze at a brocade silk spread on his lap.。
Seeing Liu Kan come in, Lu Ming didn't show any surprise at all, but just folded the brocade silk on his lap and took it aside, gave him a simple salute, and said, "General Liu is here, please take a seat." ”
Pointing to a low stool in the cell, Lu Ming's voice was hoarse, his face was pale and tight, and he looked like he had not recovered from a serious illness.
Liu Kan didn't sit down, and stood quietly for a while before he said leisurely: "My general also knows about my coming, no matter what, I'll find a doctor to help you take a look." ”
Saying that, Liu Kan was about to turn around and go out to call the jailer, but was stopped by Lu Ming behind him, Lu Ming coughed sullenly, and then said: "Don't bother, there is no need to heal my injury, if I can die like this, it can be regarded as my loyalty." ”
Lu Ming's words could be regarded as the purpose of Liu Kan's visit, and the entire cell fell silent for a moment.
Liu Kan turned his back to this Lu Ming's face and frowned slowly, feeling a little regretful in his heart that he shouldn't have received the order to persuade Lu Ming, because; Lu Ming is not an ordinary person at all, in the face of the country's righteousness, he knows that he is wrong, he will still insist on going his own way, this persistence Liu Kan, a modern person, can still understand a little bit, but do you really watch him die?
"But you will die, and you will end up like this in half your life, don't you feel cold?" Liu Kan thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that since he came, he would do his best to persuade him, even if there was no way to change the final ending, he would be able to convince himself.
After hearing this, Lu Ming shook his head and chuckled a few times, took out the brocade silk he had put away just now and threw it at Liu Kan's feet, and said: "This kind of fate is not the best ending for me, the meaning of the existence of soldiers is to protect the family and defend the country, the old man as a general of the Qin State died in the hands of the enemy who invaded the land of my Qin Dynasty, what is the good heart, in my opinion, you brought the brocade pen and ink to let me write a book of surrender is really harmful to me, so that I can't feel at ease when I die." ”
Liu Kan lowered his head gloomily, and the "generous statement" that he had originally thought of saying couldn't say a word at the moment.
The deathly silence has been shrouded in this small space since then, and after a while, Liu Kan's figure shook, squatted down and picked up the brocade silk that Lu Ming had discarded at his feet, and opened it to see that it was still plain white, and there was no pen and ink left.
"I have been ordered by Lord Chen today to persuade the general, and now what should be said has been said, and the rest is what I have to say," put the brocade silk in his hand on the wooden table on the side, Liu Kan sat down on the low stool on the side, and took out two fist-sized wine bags in his arms, and he didn't know when he prepared it, and he was able to bring it all the way here without being discovered.
threw the wine bag in his hand to Lu Ming's lap, and took the lead in lifting the sealed awl before the other party could react, and the room was suddenly filled with the intoxicating aroma of wine.
Liu Kan raised his head and took a sip, and then said: "When the two armies fought, I saw that the general was a real man, and now that he is in prison, he will not compromise and seek perfection, so I never thought that I could persuade the general, and the right to send off the general by Lord Chen's order, and ask the general not to laugh at a pot of wine." ”
Lu Ming's sharp eyes flashed a trace of dazedness, and he was silent for a long time before he smiled, completely ignoring that he was still seriously injured, he handed the wine bag to his mouth very boldly, bit off the plug with his teeth and spit it on the ground, raised his head and drank, "Dudu Dudu" stopped a few times, his face was inconvenient, and said to Liu Kan: "I really didn't misread you, I think that you are such a character in the rebel army, no wonder you can hit Chen County so quickly, and the old man will not lose at all if he loses in your hands." ”
Although the age difference between the two is at least thirty years, they appreciate each other because of their temperament and temperament, and at this time, there is still a feeling of mutual hatred.
The two couldn't help but laugh when they met each other, bumped into each other's wine bags in the air, and drank again when they looked up.
Probably drunk, Lu Ming looked at Liu Kan is more and more appreciation, remembering that his only daughter was still far away in Xianyang, although it would be a full name if he died here, but Lu Yan and his family were afraid that they would lose any status in Xianyang in an instant, if Qin King Hu Hai could see that he was dying for the Qin Dynasty and could treat his daughter well, I am afraid that the King of Qin is not a virtuous person, and it is nothing if he dies, but he just suffers his daughter.
"Ugh." Thinking of his daughter, Lu Ming, who was not afraid of life and death just now, couldn't help but change into a sad face, looking like he had a knot.
Liu Kan is so sharp-eyed, he has already guessed a thing or two at a glance, but he still pretended not to know much on his face, frowned and asked, "Is there anything that the general can't let go?" If you believe that the younger generation can command. ”
Lu Ming smiled, very appreciative and grateful for Liu Kan's temperament, he sighed and said, "The only thing I can't let go of now is my unadulterated daughter." ”
