Chapter 98: Why not overturn?
Hu He was distracted, and that kick failed to hit Lu Ji, and was dodged by Lu Ji.
A kick missed, Hu He had to attack again, before he had time to accumulate strength, Lu Ji's sharp fist had already been forced in front of him with a strong wind, Hu He saw that Lu Ji did not use all his strength, caught the punch, grabbed Lu Ji's hand, leaned back slightly, dissolved three points of strength, and was about to break Lu Ji's hand, but Lu Ji suddenly changed his fist style and bent his elbow, obviously seeing through his intentions.
At this point, it is impossible to hide.
Lu Ji used his elbow as a sharp blade and struck down hard, hitting Hu He in the chest.
Click.
Hu He clearly heard the sound of his chest and ribs breaking, the broken bones seemed to poke into his heart and lungs, and there was a sharp pain in his heart, and for a moment, he couldn't even breathe.
The body slammed on the ground, Hu He tilted his head, and also spit out a mouthful of blood.
The Hu people on the observation deck couldn't help shouting, and threw the things at hand to the field, expressing their dissatisfaction with the change just now.
Obviously, Hu He has already occupied an absolute advantage, if Hu He's actions are crisp and crisp, Lu Ji may have seen the king of Hades now, but when Hu He hesitated for a while, the situation on the field was reversed.
A person like Lu Ji can't be killed with one blow, and he won't be able to do anything in the future.
Suddenly, Tartar's face was tense, and the scars that stretched across half of his face were twisted, exuding a hideous killing intent.
Hu He is a native of Yuanzhao Kingdom, and used to be very close friends with Lu Ji, and it is precisely because of this that Kutar ranked him in the third place, so as to catch Lu Ji off guard.
He knew that the people of Yuanzhao were righteous, and Lu Ji followed Lu Xiao's temper, and he would never be able to attack his friends.
As long as Hu He grasps Lu Ji's soft-heartedness, Lu Ji will definitely die in this game, but what Hu He didn't expect was that at the most critical juncture, a child would suddenly appear.
If he heard correctly, just now the child shouted 'Daddy', and the person he called 'Daddy' was Lu Ji.
The brown eyes like a tiger and wolf rolled, and he suddenly looked at Su Zhan who was nested in Chu Lingzhao's arms: "You are Lu Ji's son?" ”
Today's competition Su Li and Lu Ji deliberately concealed from Su Zhan and didn't tell him, and today they specially instructed Yue Yan to watch him not run around, but just now Chu Lingzhao saw that the situation was not right, and when he asked people to pull Chu Huaian back, he asked people to pick up Su Zhan by the way.
Su Zhan didn't know what was going on, as soon as he came, he saw his father fighting with someone, and he was almost killed, and he was still in shock at this time, and when he heard Kutar's question, he turned his head and glanced at Kutar, and recognized that the clothes worn by Kutar were unique to the Hu people.
He is still young and does not understand the disputes between countries, but he clearly remembers that it was the Hu people who let the soldiers at the border fight bloodily, and those who wore such clothes were their enemies!
Now this enemy is sitting with their Son of Heaven, which means that the identity of the enemy is not low.
In Su Zhan's impression, the highest status of the Hu people is their royal lineage.
The little head carefully observed and pondered, the eyes were wise and calm beyond this age, not at all like a five or six-year-old child, Su Zhan was uncomfortable by Su Zhan's eyes, he was just about to speak, Su Zhan clasped his hands, and bowed solemnly: "Back to the king, my name is Su Zhan, I am the grandson of the former Shangshu Mansion, Su Liangxing is my maternal grandfather, and Su Li is my mother-in-law." ”
He didn't say whether he was Lu Ji's son or not, but just moved out of his previous identity.
Ku Tatar didn't understand the four words of the grandson of the foreign minister, but he knew that in Yuanzhao, when he was a son, he would inevitably follow his father's surname, and since Su Zhan's surname was Su, it was not a father-son relationship with Lu Ji.
However, he heard Su Zhan's shouting very clearly just now, and he couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows and said, "Since Lu Ji is not your father, why did you shout like that just now?" ”
"My father was beaten to death a few days ago, and I saw that the scene was very similar to the day my father died, so I unconsciously shouted."
Su Zhan replied very calmly, remembering in his heart the lie Su Li told when he returned to Beijing, but echoed it from beginning to end.
After speaking, he looked up at Chu Lingzhao again, and said in a proper manner: "Please forgive your majesty, Ah Zhan has just lost his manners." ”
Chu Lingzhao saw Su Zhan's series of performances in his eyes, and was slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Su Zhan to be so young, but it only took a short time to see Ku Tatar's identity, and calmly responded to Ku Tatar's questioning.
Such courage and courage are not even found in a child who is only five or six years old, and even many ministers in the DPRK and China.
What kind of effort did Lu Ji put into raising such a smart and sensible child?
"You are still young, I forgive you for your innocence!"
Chu Lingzhao said softly, raised his hand and rubbed Su Zhan's head, and his heart softened inexplicably, Xu is all men who are new fathers, after seeing their children, they will unconsciously soften their hearts.
Hu Tartar was not very satisfied with Su Zhan's answer, his eyes did not look away, and he wanted to ask again, Chu Ling Zhao rushed to the palace on the side: "Young Master Su is frightened, send Young Master Su to his mother's place." ”
"Yes!"
The palace people immediately stepped forward and took Su Zhan to Su Li's side, Su Zhan's eyes kept chasing Su Zhan, and through the crowd, he saw Su Li holding Su Zhan into his arms, and he was relieved, it turned out to be the son of the county lord, no wonder he was so articulate, and he might not be easy to deal with when he grows up in the future.
As early as when Su Zhan spoke for the first time, Su Li's attention was distracted from him, but Chu Lingzhao hugged him, and suddenly Tatar was watching from the side, Su Li could only hold back and restrain himself from stepping forward.
"Ah Zhan, what did Your Majesty and the king say to you?"
Su Li hugged Su Zhan and asked in a low voice, her heart was not settled, not only because of the anxiety in the competition on the field, but also because she was worried that Su Zhan's identity would be discovered by the Tartars.
"The king asked me if I was Lu Ji's son, and I told him that my surname was Su, and I was the grandson of the former Shangshu Mansion."
Su Zhan's soft and glutinous answer was extremely good, and Su Li kissed him on the forehead and praised: "Ah Zhan is right!" ”
Su Zhan was not happy to be complimented, he grabbed Su Li's hand, turned his head to look at the field seriously, and asked in a low voice.
"Mother, will the person who loses die?"
He didn't understand that today's competition was a matter of life and death, but from the fight just now, he could see that only one of Daddy and the unkempt man could survive.
"Ah Zhan."
Su Li hugged Su Zhan tightly, twisted his head and leaned on his shoulder, preventing him from watching the killing and bloodshed on the field.
"That day you said that you were a burden to your father, and your father didn't want you anymore, this sentence is wrong, your father loves you very much, the situation just now is so dangerous, if it weren't for you, your father may be gone, you are very, very important to him, he needs you very much, you know?"
"I know."
Su Zhan replied, his voice trembling a little, and his body trembled slightly.
He was actually very scared, because of the sonorous sound of blades on the field, he didn't know how seriously his father would be injured in those swords and shadows, and whether he would die.
He has never met his mother, and he has only had his father since he was a child.
Although Daddy is very strict and spends little time with him, he admires Daddy very much.
Because Daddy is very good at killing enemies and very smart, as long as he is with Daddy, he doesn't have to be afraid of the sky falling, but if Daddy is gone, his sky will also fall.
"Mother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said something like that to you that day." Su Zhan choked up and said, tears finally fell.
Chu Huai'an saw such a scene when he was carried back to the waiting area by the guards, and his face suddenly darkened: "Who asked you to bring this little kid?" Still think the current situation is not chaotic enough? ”
After speaking, he pushed the two guards away, reached out and grabbed Su Zhan's collar and carried him into his arms.
Su Zhan was scared at this moment, and he was not in the mood to quarrel with Chu Huai'an, his little face was flushed, his eyes were watery and pitiful, Chu Huai'an rolled up his sleeves and wiped his face indiscriminately, and said indifferently: "What are you crying about, that drunk bastard can do it, whoever dies he can't die!" He is such a gentleman, how did he give birth to such a squeamish seed as you? ”
“……”
Su Zhan's expression froze when he was stunned, and his fear and sadness dissipated a lot, and he retorted in a low voice while sobbing: "I...... I'm not squeamish! Also, you...... You're the bastard! ”
He didn't allow himself to be looked down upon by Chu Huai'an, let alone allow his father to be belittled.
"If you're not squeamish, then wipe my tears away and take a good look at how the real guys beat people!" Chu Huai'an sat down as he spoke, turned Su Zhan over and hugged him on his lap, and watched the duel on the field upright.
This method was too cruel in Su Li's opinion, and she was about to open her mouth to stop it, but she heard Su Zhan clenching her little fist and saying with a firm face: "If I grow up a little more, I will be so powerful!" "There was no panic at all.
"It's not amazing, wait until you grow up!"
Chu Huai'an poked the back of Su Zhan's head and said, a sudden heat in his nose.
"Master Hou, you're injured!" Su Li reminded that Chu Huai'an reached out and touched it, and sure enough, he felt a red nosebleed on his hand, and Su Li hurriedly took the silk handkerchief and handed it to him.
"It's okay, I fell just now, don't worry about me."
Chu Huai'an said lightly, wiped it with a silk handkerchief, and saw that the nosebleed had no intention of stopping, so he simply blocked his nose with a silk handkerchief.
He was in a very wrong state today, first he was so poor that he wanted to use self-harm to refresh himself, he just jumped off the waiting area but couldn't even stand on his feet, and now he has a nosebleed, and he doesn't look like a person who is fine.
"Is Master Hou really okay? Let's ask the imperial doctor to take a look. ”
Su Li asked uneasily, Chu Huai'an bent his eyes and smiled, and returned to his usual unserious appearance.
"Ah Li is worried about me? I just had a little nosebleed, and Ah Li was distressed? It seems that in Ah Li's heart, I am much heavier than the one on the field. ”
At this time, he still has to compare himself with Lu Ji.
Su Li was speechless, the little worry in his heart was broken down by him in a few words, and he said in a calm tone: "Hou Ye's body is the best, but the courtier's daughter is arrogant, and he manages too much." ”
After saying that, she turned her gaze to the field again, not to be disturbed by other things.
Chu Huai'an stared at her back for a long time, and gently pinched Su Zhan's ears: "Is your mother so angry when she talks to others?" ”
"No, my mother is very gentle when she talks to my father."
Su Zhan covered his ears and didn't let Chu Huai'an knead them, and replied with a serious face, Chu Huai'an poked his cheek, which was still stained with tears: "What do you know, before I met your father, she spoke to me more gently!" ”
Su Zhan was not convinced, and slapped Chu Huai'an's hand away: "Then it must be that you did something wrong to make your mother angry, your mother is a very reasonable person, she will not treat a person like this for no reason." ”
"yes, I did something wrong......"
Chu Huai'an sighed lowly, the endless sleepiness hit, his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds, Su Zhan just wanted to ask him what he had done wrong, and everyone on the observation deck let out an exclamation, and Su Zhan's attention was immediately attracted to it.
Lu Ji and Hu He fought for a few more rounds, but Lu Ji didn't deliberately put up with it anymore, but he never hurt the killer.
The two have been glued, indistinguishable, after Lu Ji kicked Hu He again, he took the opportunity to grab the short sword on the ground, and then quickly attacked Lu Ji, Lu Ji sideways to avoid, Hu He changed the short sword to his left hand, and stabbed Lu Ji in the neck with his backhand, Lu Ji had no weapon in his hand, and the two were hand-to-hand combat, Lu Ji could only grab the sword body with his bare hands.
The hand that had been injured before and was only wrapped in a strip of cloth was injured again, Hu He's strength was not small, and he tried his best to suppress it, and Lu Ji could clearly feel the blade of the sword cut into the flesh and blood, and the finger bones were engraved inch by inch.
But after defeating the effect of the medicine on the sword, Lu Ji didn't feel obvious pain, but just saw blood gushing out and sliding down from his fingers.
"Ah Li and I have a child."
Lu Ji suddenly spoke, Hu He's expression did not change, and he became more and more forceful: "I know, but that child is so pitiful that he died without even looking at this world......
"The child is not dead."
"What did you say?" Hu He asked questions, surprise flashed in his eyes, and a trace of confusion flashed in his gloomy eyes.
"My child and Ah Li, who is five and a half years old this year, is now on that viewing platform, it stands to reason that he should call you uncle!"
Lu Ji stabilized his breath and said calmly, Hu He's expression cracked inch by inch, he was greatly impacted, and wanted to angrily reprimand Lu Ji for talking nonsense, but he swayed a little because of the cry just now, and wanted to look back uncontrollably.
That's Ah Li's child.
It is the only surviving bloodline of the Gu family.
Judging by the voice I had just heard, it was supposed to be a boy.
Who would that kid be a little more like? Is it like Ah Li who loves to cry, or is he as handsome and upright as his father, or has inherited a little blood of the Gu family and is talented?
This temptation was too great, even greater than Hu He's desperate desire to kill Lu Ji.
After hesitating for a moment, Hu He quickly looked back at the viewing platform, his eyes swept across the crowd sharply, and finally stopped in one place.
He had one eye gouged out, and the rest of the eye was not very eyesight.
But from such a distance, he could clearly see the appearance of the child, it was a very good-looking child, wearing a brocade dress, dressed cute and noble, Xu had just cried, his eyes were slightly red and swollen, and his little face was stiffly tense.
The watery eyes were very much like his mother, and the tight little face was exactly the same as Lu Ji.
With just one glance, and no more evidence, he could be sure that it was Ah Li's flesh and blood.
Because of this cognition, Hu He's hand shook almost imperceptibly.
Even he couldn't tell if it was excitement or something else.
Ah Li's child did not die.
The Gu family's incense has not been cut off.
The Gu family still has a !!
This thought made the dead heart beat again, but then he realized that something was wrong: "At that time, I saw Ah Li die with my own eyes, how could this child ......"
Hu He muttered, and there was a very bold conjecture in his heart, could it be that Ah Li didn't have it back then......
"I cut him out with my own hands, I ......"
Lu Ji interrupted Hu He's thoughts with a cold voice, and a gloomy storm suddenly blew in Hu He's eyes, and before Lu Ji finished speaking, he asked angrily: "You moved Ah Li's body?!" ”
Judging from Lu Ji's words, he was not wrong back then, Ah Li was indeed dead, but after she died, Lu Ji cut her belly alive and took out the child!
What kind of person is this?
After witnessing the death of his wife, he actually cut out his wife's stomach with his own hands!
What if the child in the womb is dead?
What kind of insult did he do to the corpse?
The huge anger made Hu He's eyes turn blood-red, and he drew his short sword with great force, Lu Ji couldn't let go, and the ten-finger phalanx was almost cut off from it.
Sensing that Hu He's emotions were out of control, Lu Ji quickly turned sideways to avoid it, Hu He swung his sword and stabbed the sword into Lu Ji's left shoulder again.
This sword was extremely deep, Hu He grabbed the hilt and wanted to stir it, but Lu Ji raised his hand and grabbed his wrist with his arm.
"Ah Li protected her belly with her hands until she died, this child was protected by her life, she made so much effort to keep this child, I can't do nothing, just judge the life or death of this child!"
"That's why you have to have a caesarean section after she dies?"
"Yes!" Hu He asked, completely unable to understand Lu Ji's approach, but Lu Ji met his eyes without fear: "I know better than anyone how much she loves this child, even if you were there at the time, you can't stop me from doing it!" ”
Lu Ji knew better than anyone how much Gu Li loved Su Zhan, and similarly, Lu Ji knew better than anyone how much he loved Gu Li.
He also understood better than anyone what such a thing as disemboweling and removing a child meant to Gu Li's body.
Only he can do this, and he can only do it.
No one knew what it was like to cut open the belly of his recently deceased wife, and he knew that it was like putting his heart on a fire and burning it repeatedly, tearing his soul apart and screaming in pain, but there was no one to replace or share the slightest.
The whole process is so long that it seems to have come to an end in my life.
How delicate and bright the wife in his mind was, and every knife that fell on the corpse in reality fell on him at all, as if he was going to kill him alive!
Whether Su Zhan survives in the end or not, this matter is a hurdle that Lu Ji will never be able to get over in his heart.
There is no need to remind Hu He, in the past five years, he has been suffering and tortured day and night in his own heart, and this punishment is no easier than any reprimand!
"So what? Now what are you going to do? Seeing that I can't beat it, pull this kid out as a shield, hoping that I will open the net? ”
"Ah Zhan is the only bloodline of the Gu family, I don't need you to spare me anything, I hope you spare yourself, don't be in cahoots with Hu Ren anymore!"
Spare yourself.
Hu He was shocked by these five words, his eyes covered by his messy hair drooped slightly, and the picture of galloping wantonly in the border desert many years ago suddenly appeared in his mind.
It had been a long time since he had remembered it, so long that it seemed like a lifetime in his previous life.
Spare yourself? How could he spare himself and live as if nothing had happened?
When the Gu family was destroyed, his parents handed Ah Li to him, and he said that he would protect Ah Li to grow up safely and worry-free, and Ah Li liked to chase after him and call him brother softly, believing that he relied on him wholeheartedly.
But in the end, he failed to protect her, and watched her die of humiliation.
Only he is left in the Gu family, if he doesn't avenge Ah Li, who else in this world will remember to avenge her?
"Huh!"
Hu He sneered, he looked at Lu Ji directly: "I haven't seen you for five years, and the general's eloquence has also improved a lot, just say this to yourself, it's just a waste of tongue for people like me who are struggling to survive in purgatory!" ”
Is it really a waste of words?
So why is every move left room and not to the point?
Lu Ji's eyes narrowed, his head slammed hard, and Hu He collided hard, there was a bang sound from his skull, Hu He took two steps back, Lu Ji pulled out his short sword and attacked Hu He with his body that was not completely paralyzed.
"I will avenge Ah Li, but I will not use your means to harm others like this, Ah Li Quanxia will not like it if he knows it, Hu Keduo did not come this time, and if we meet again on the battlefield in the future, I will take his head with my own hands!"
Lu Ji's movements were very fast, Hu He stepped back step by step, and was soon forced to the edge of the iron fence by Lu Ji.
Lu Ji didn't use a sword against him, but only held the sword horizontally, and pressed his elbow against Hu He's neck to suppress him: "Tell me, when did the Hu people and the An family collude together?" How many Hu forces have infiltrated in Jingzhong? What do they want to do in Beijing this time? ”
Lu Ji asked questions one after another, hitting the nail on the head.
Hu He was also injured a lot, he didn't rush to resist, and looked at Lu Ji with a smile: "General, where did you get the confidence to think that I would tell you this?" ”
"You helped the Hu people overthrow Yuanzhao, Yuanzhao will make the people miserable, I would rather die in battle than surrender, and then Ah Zhan will also be deeply poisoned by the war, he is still so ......"
"That's your business!"
Hu He raised his voice, raised his hand and punched Lu Ji's shoulder, Lu Ji didn't retreat an inch, stood steadily, suppressed Hu He even harder, and finally asked again: "Do you really want to be with the Hu people, and the chaos will be far away?" ”
"The king is deaf, it is the sorrow of the loyal ministers, the sorrow of the people, why can't it be overturned?"
"Then do you think that after the Tartar replaces, it will be better than now?" Lu Ji's voice trembled slightly, and he couldn't recognize the indifferent and bloodthirsty person in front of him at all.
Xu wanted to make him more aware of reality, Hu He hooked his lips and smiled: "I'm dead, good or bad, what does it have to do with me?" ”
If so, let's see who can live!
Lu Ji cut off his thoughts, no longer thought about anything else, and swung his sword at Hu He!
