Chapter 399: Face
The laugh gradually weakened, and he looked at Xu Ji again, "Are you scared stupid, or are you really bold?" ”
After swallowing the threat, the expression on Xu Ji's face did not change, and he even looked away slightly to look at the trembling woman.
Swallowing his gaze in a fit of anger, he couldn't help but be furious, and stood up suddenly, in front of the horizontal knife, "The kid is bold, come, taste your swallowing master's big knife, let me see how big my heart is." ”
Xu Ji came back to his senses at this time, he didn't look at the woman at all, he was just thinking about his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, I'm just a little confused." ”
"Wonder what? Can't someone like me marry a beautiful girl? You've got it right. Laughing angrily, "This is what I robbed, if I am not convinced, you come to save her, or you can go and grab one yourself." ”
At last the woman could not hold back and began to weep again.
"I told you earlier, when you cry, I am upset, and I still cry?" Swallowing and shouting loudly, the woman cried even more, and hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth with a silk handkerchief, trying not to make a sound.
Yiqi frowned, barely satisfied, walked towards Xu Ji with the knife in both hands, stared at the thin white neck, confident that he could cut it down with one knife.
Chang Yan stepped forward to block in front of Gongzi, "Cut me first." ”
"There is no need to fight about the front and back feet." Swallowed in one go.
Xu Ji pushed Chang Yanzhi away, did not retreat but advanced, and swallowed angrily to the long knife that had already been raised: "How do you know that I must be that Xu Ji?" ”
"Huh?" Stunned, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Xu is not a rare surname, and the foundation is not a rare name, and I am definitely not the only one in the world who is called Xu Foundation."
swallowed a swear word in a fit of anger, "Are you the Xu Ji who used to be the King of Wu?" ”
"Yes."
"That's enough." Swallow the force on your arms, ready to swing the knife and slash people.
"After I die, I may not still be the same Xu Ji."
"What the hell are you trying to say? Lao Tzu didn't understand, Lao Tzu ......" swallowed his heart and was irritable, and he didn't want to listen to it anymore.
Xu Ji quickened his speech, "You don't recognize me, others don't recognize me, Xu Ji can't open his mouth to testify to you, you carry my head, and the leaders of the Descendant Army don't recognize it, what's the use?" ”
Swallowing his anger this time, he held the big knife and thought for a while, and asked the soldier at the door, "Who knows Xu Ji?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, he was a new army of the Descendant Army, and he had never been to the Eastern Capital, so naturally he would not recognize "King Wu".
"Who brought him?"
Lao Ding flashed out, "I brought it, the general of the Liangzhou Fierce Army sent me to guide him, and then he claimed to be Xu Ji......"
"You're not sure either?"
"This ...... The people that the generals of the fierce army value should ......"
"The bullshit fierce army general, it's not as good as a fierce dog next to me, what can he do with the people he values?"
Lao Ding didn't dare to argue, and hurriedly retreated behind the soldiers.
"I have to find a witness, a witness that everyone agrees with, or I'll kill ...... for nothing."
"One more." Xu Jidao.
"And what?" Shaking his body in one go, although he had great strength, he was a little tired from holding a big knife for a long time.
"If you kill me now, the leaders of the Descending Army will not be able to see me, and if they only see my head in the future, they will definitely not recognize me."
"Why not?"
"I don't want to admit that you're the big boss."
He swallowed his anger and scolded a few words, and then said: "The Eight Heavenly Kings, the Sixteen Venerables, and the Twenty-Eight Divine Ding said good things together, who dares to deny it?" ”
"It's not that they don't recognize good things, but they don't recognize my head, and they will say that you can find someone to fill up."
Swallowing and thinking for a while, "What do you say?" ”
"Gather all the leaders, kill me in front of them, and find another figure from the old army, who not only recognizes me, but also has the trust of the new army, and he testifies that I am the same Xu Ji, naturally everything is in order, and no one can raise any objections."
"So troublesome?"
"Your Excellency wants to be the big leader, don't you want to see many small leaders bow up together?"
Swallowing his breath and grinning, "Yes." Suddenly, he cursed again, slammed the long knife to the ground, and shook his neck and shoulders, "Can't you say something earlier?" I'm tired of Lao Tzu. ”
"Arrange a place for me to live, it doesn't matter the size, the bed must be good, and then arrange a table of banquets, the dishes can be simpler, and the wine must be good."
Angry, his heart was on fire, "Why should I be so nice to you?" Are you my own father? ”
Xu Ji said with a smile: "All the leaders gathered, you killed people in public, the people who were killed were unkempt, your face was dull, if I was radiant, they would look at me like 'King Wu', maybe even the witnesses would be exempted, and your face would look good." It's like two people playing against each other, killing the enemy general is worth showing off, killing a beggar, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to say it. ”
He swallowed the swear words in his mouth in a fit of anger, and finally said, "Take them down and give them a good house." ”
Xu Ji surrendered, and he saved his life at least temporarily.
Swallowing his anger, he turned around and smiled at the woman who had just stopped crying: "Congratulations, you are about to be promoted to the lady of the big boss, look at how good your life is, you can rise step by step by sitting still." ”
The soldiers found a spacious room, two inside and two outside, and locked all three of them inside.
Lao Ding didn't do it, and hurriedly said: "I don't live here, you can find me another one, and the firewood room will also do......"
The door was locked from the outside.
Chang Yanzhi fumbled for a while, lit the oil lamp on the table, and said to Xu Ji: "Childe...... I don't have anything to say, Childe should rest first, after walking for so long, he should be tired. ”
"Well, I'm tired, but I'm not in a hurry, I haven't eaten yet."
"Are they really going to bring food and drink?" Chang Yanzhi couldn't believe it.
"Yes. Let's eat some together. ”
Chang Yanzhi looked left and right, "Three of you? I saw only two people, but where was the other? Oh, there's another one at the door, and that's not a good one. ”
Lao Ding was extremely embarrassed, even so, he still had a smile on his face, "I really can't be a 'good person', but the knife is on the neck, and everyone takes care of themselves first, right?" ”
Chang Yanzhi snorted and didn't look at him at all.
Xu Ji sat down and sighed comfortably, "Chang Yanzhi, don't be too difficult for Lao Ding, in the years of war and chaos, it is often difficult to protect yourself, let alone sacrifice yourself for others?" ”
Lao Ding immediately said: "That's the truth, Xu Gongzi is a person who understands." The two also saw it, Zuo Jiazhai was still in power last month, a family of filial piety, brothers and sisters, concubines and blind dates, who saw it were envious, and in a blink of an eye, it was said that the Zuo family was about to be killed, and only a few did not know where to go. The woman in the hall is the fifth daughter-in-law of the Zuo family, beautiful and well-known, but now she has fallen into the hands of such a person, why doesn't she want to save her family? But you have to protect yourself first, right? ”
Chang Yanzhi looked at it with disdain, "The daughter-in-law of the Zuo family is at least crying, unlike you, the seller seeks glory, and her face is not red." ”
"You can't blame me, my face has always been so red, and you can't see it because of shame, besides...... That's your master, not mine. Lao Ding's voice grew softer.
The door was suddenly pushed open, Lao Ding was too close, and he was almost knocked down, so he hurriedly got out of the way.
A few soldiers really sent some wine and meat, as well as a few clothes, "King Hongbo said, I want you to eat and drink well, look white and fat, and wear good clothes, so that people can know that you are King Wu at a glance." ”
"Thank you. Later, you will have to soak your feet in hot water. ”
The soldier glared and said, "Who gave you hot water?" ”
"Well, the next time I see Yitun, I'll ask him for good. After walking for a few days, if you don't wash your feet, your feet will be dirty, if you are dirty, you will be rotten, and if you are rotten, you will not be able to stand up, and the 'King Wu' who can't even stand up will be ...... even if you put on a dragon robe."
"Yes, I'll get you some hot water." The soldiers took a piece of meat from their plates, which was their rightful amount of oil and water, and left the room.
Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi sat down to eat, and the wine was really good, fragrant.
Lao Ding in the distance was hooked by the gluttonous worm, kept swallowing saliva, endured and endured, slowly stepped over, and said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi just said that I can also eat some." ”
Chang Yanzhi snorted, but Xu Ji didn't care, and nodded with a smile.
Lao Ding didn't dare to sit down, stood at the table, drank a glass of wine, ate a few pieces of meat, and immediately felt comfortable, sighed, and said: "I have no other extravagant hopes in my life, it's enough to be a full ghost." ”
"Betray a few more people." Chang Yanzhi still refused to forgive Lao Ding's behavior, "The Yang family in Liangzhou is so masterful, enough for you to betray." ”
Lao Xi laughed and muttered, "That's not my turn." ”
The three of them ate and drank enough, and the hot water was also sent, and Chang Yanzhi brought water into the inner room for Xu Ji to wash, and then lay down to rest, Xu Ji slept on the bed, and Chang Yanzhi laid the floor.
Lao Ding didn't dare to follow up, and slept on a few stools outside.
Chang Yan's heart was always uneasy, and after lying down, he asked, "Childe is angry and swallowed, is it really okay?" ”
Xu Ji on the bed smiled: "We must be angry, the angrier he is, the safer we are." ”
"What's the reasoning?"
"When we first arrived, it was just two pieces of fat delivered to the door, and we ate it as much as we wanted, and threw it away when we wanted, but now that he has paid a little price, he will naturally be a little reluctant."
"Ha, Childe...... It's a good idea, but I think I'll be willing to swallow it. ”
"Well, so I'll have to pay him more tomorrow."
"Ugh."
"Why sigh? Are you worried that we won't be able to escape? ”
"No, I already understand Childe's intentions: the leader of the new army is not easy to convince, and if he can really find the leader of the old army, it will be easy to speak. I sighed that in the troubled times, human life is not as good as chickens and dogs, compared to such a Zuo family, listening to what Lao Ding said, it is a good family, but in a blink of an eye, the family is ruined. ”
"Do you think the fifth daughter-in-law of the Zuo family is pitiful?"
"Don't you think? She sat with a swallow like a chicken in a tiger's den. ”
"Troubled times...... That's it. ”
Chang Yanzhi didn't say anything more, and the two fell asleep separately.
In the second half of the night, when I was sleeping the most soundly, there was a sudden shouting outside, and Chang Yanzhi immediately sat up, "It's not good, I still want to kill my son in a fit of anger." ”
Xu Ji rubbed his eyes, "I don't hear like a sound." ”
Lao Ding outside pounced in, fell to the ground and rolled twice, "It's a big deal, the Zuo family is coming back!" ”
"What's so bad about that? And didn't you say that the Zuo family was about to be killed? "The way of the word.
"Killing them all is what they said, I didn't see it with my own eyes. Didn't you hear the people outside shouting? The Zuo family invited the Qiang soldiers to help, and they had a feud with the Yang family in Liangzhou......"
