Volume 1 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 159 Aftermath
Seeing that this pair of brothers who had been fighting for decades finally passed away together, Guo Bin felt sadness, regret, and a trace of envy in his heart.
How short is a person's life, how enviable it is to have an opponent who matches each other, and at the end of life to smile but enmity? Guo Bin looked at Dong Xing'er, who had been following closely behind him, and the melancholy in his heart couldn't help but subtract a few points. I couldn't help but hold her soft and delicate, beautiful jade-like soft twing, and refused to let go for a long time.
Dong Xing'er, who was holding her little hand, turned red, but she didn't break free, looking at the mountain-like man in front of her, her heart was surprised and ashamed.
Chu Yan finally cried out loud, he had lost his parents since he was a child, and was abandoned in a dilapidated land temple, and he was still in infancy when Zhang Jiao picked him up from the broken temple. There was a bag in the package, with the word Chu Yan written on it, which was supposed to be the name given to him by his parents. Therefore, Zhang Jiao called him Chu Yan.
Later, when she grew up, Chu Yan followed Zhang Jiao to learn martial arts. Because he was young when he learned art, and his body bones were extremely soft and light, Zhang Jiao taught him a set of swordsmanship and his own light skills. This set of light skills was created by Zhang Daoling after traveling all over the world's famous mountains and rivers, coming to the steep mountains and rivers of Shuzhong, and seeing the steep and abnormal mountains and rivers of Shu.
The mountains and mountains in Sichuan are steep, the forests are thick, the so-called Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, it is said that it is steep and difficult to walk.
Zhang Daoling often took his apprentices to cross between the branches of mountains and rocks, and he felt something, so he created a set of light and dexterous light body kung fu and taught it to several apprentices. Zhang Daoling leaped between the mountains, rocks, grass and trees, from the bottom of the view, it was like a bird, so he named this set of light skills "Fei Yandu". Later, the female disciple Lu, who was the last to enter and was the most popular, thought that the name was too straightforward, so she renamed it the "Magpie Treading Branch" with its feminine beauty.
What Chu Yan learned was the magpie stepping branch, which is known for being light and changeable. Because of its light body, coming and going without a trace, and being agile, it is called "Feiyan" in the army.
Dong Xing'er is young and a girl, after all, she is soft-hearted, seeing Chu Yan crying sadly, and thinking of Zhang Jiao's usual gentleness and modesty, and Tang Zhou's previous rescue virtues, she couldn't help but feel sad and accompanied Chu Yan to cry silently.
When Guo Bin saw it, he didn't feel distressed, and shook Dong Xing'er's soft to show comfort, Fang stepped forward and said to Chu Yan: "Now that the predecessors have gone immortal, it is useless to grieve in vain, and the top priority is to bury the body of the predecessor well." ”
Guan Fenglong also nodded in agreement, and went to Zhang Luo to ask Zhuang Zhong's descendants to prepare for the funeral.
To say that Guan Fenglong Shicai didn't make a move, it's really no wonder that he is really unreasonable. Because Zhang Jiao and Tang Zhou were brothers, there was a conflict between them, so they should discuss and resolve it behind closed doors. Although Guan Fenglong is a famous martial arts legend and has an excellent friendship with Zhang Jiao, he is not a person in the "Zhengyi" door after all. What position should an outsider stand in the contradiction between the middle and junior brothers who are involved in the Zhengyi Middle School?
He didn't have much friendship with Tang Zhou, and he definitely wouldn't help Tang Zhou, and if he helped Zhang Jiao deal with Tang Zhou, he could be seriously injured or even killed, but if the matter spread, it would be that he Guan Fenglong relied on the old and sold the old, and mixed up in the affairs of Zhengyi, but he was a lot old but ignorant.
And if mediation is carried out in a neutral manner, not to mention that Zhang Jiao was attacked and injured in the front, it is the two masters of the rivers and lakes who dominate the world to buy his account or not, and at that time, he is not a person inside and out. However, if Tang Zhou really dared to launch another sneak attack in front of Guan Fenglong and try to kill Zhang Jiao, Guan Fenglong would have more than a dozen ways to repel him before his long sword and body. However, when he saw that Chu Yan first took out his sword and seriously injured Tang Zhou, Guo Bin threw him flying backwards, but Guan Fenglong didn't need to do anything more.
Guo Bin suddenly thought that Zhang Jiao died, and the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City would inevitably be in turmoil, and it seemed that a decisive battle was imminent. immediately thought of something, and immediately said to Chu Yan: "Brother Chu, the predecessors have already passed away, and Guangzong City is bound to be difficult to protect." Once the official army captures Guangzong, I am afraid that the coffin will be opened and the corpse will be killed. In my opinion, I asked Zhuang Zhongqing to collect firewood and cremate the body of his predecessor, do you think it? ”
Although it is a gesture of inquiry, his tone and demeanor all look like they should be, sad and crying, where can Chu Yan, who is lost and depressed, refute? The so-called "dwelling and moving qi, nourishing and moving the body", status and environment can change people's temperament, and cultivation or self-cultivation can change people's quality.
Since Guo Bin was reborn at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, more than a year has passed. Since the beginning, he has accepted Guan Hai's surrender, and he is in charge of hundreds of people. Later, the strength expanded day by day, and the Fulong Villa grew stronger and stronger, and Guo Bin's direct subordinates have reached more than 10,000 people, which is comparable to a small county town. Later, when he was ordered by Yang Zhai, tens of thousands of displaced people were displaced, and after they were settled, the people under Guo Bin's rule had exceeded 100,000.
Later, he entered Beijing for the second time, and was appointed as a cavalry captain, and even commanded the 700 Yue cavalry battalion. rushed to the aid of Yang Zhai, broke He Man's army of 30,000, and then broke more than 200,000 yellow turbans almost single-handedly outside the city of Changshe. He was decisive in killing and repeatedly performing military exploits, and even saved the lives of nearly 200,000 captives and exiled them to the outside of the fortress. Today's Guo Bin has hundreds of thousands of lives on his back, and the temperament of the superior has been cultivated unconsciously.
So, according to Guo Bin's instructions, everyone hurriedly found wild grass and dead branches, piled them up into a platform, and then cleaned up Zhang Jiao's body and put it on.
Seeing that everyone was busy with Zhang Jiao's death, but Tang Zhou's body fell to the side, no one cared, Guo Bin couldn't bear it. After the death of a generation of martial arts masters, even the villagers in the township can step on it, and sure enough, people die like lights going out, this corpse, except for the beloved, is it really in whose eyes?
Then he and Dong Xing'er collected their bodies, put them together with Zhang Jiao, and cremated them together.
Who would have thought that Zhang Jiao and Tang Zhou had been fighting for half their lives, treating each other as enemies, and at the moment before the end of their lives, they would hug each other and never see the hatred of the year again? Now that he died, his body had turned into a pile of ashes, and he could no longer distinguish between them.
After cooking the afterlife of the two, Guo Bin said to Chu Yan: "Brother Chu, although Senior Zhang and I have kindness, the matter of Taiping Dao must be decided. When the Yellow Turban army in Guangzong City learned of the death of their predecessors, they were sure that the army was in turmoil, and the official army would definitely take the opportunity to attack the city. In order to avoid the slaughter, when you return to the city, you must persuade the people to surrender to the army, and then I will save the lives of all the people. ”
After thinking about it, Guo Bin continued: "If there are really people who do not want to surrender, it is best to live in seclusion. Otherwise, it will inevitably cause more killings at that time, which is indeed not a blessing for the people of the world. If someone is still stubborn, cruel to the people, and for the sake of the Central Plains, Guo's gun is not disadvantageous. At that time, I will be an official and he will be a thief, but don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings! At this point, his expression has become extremely serious.
This harsh remark made the young Chu Yan tremble. Although the person in front of him was only a small cavalry lieutenant, and the official army directly under him was only 700 cavalry, the momentum exuded by his body was terrifying. What kind of person is this? Suddenly, like a spring breeze, gentle and warm, suddenly it was like the cold of winter, freezing through the heart. When he was angry, the pressure exuded from his body was something that Chu Yan had never felt when facing Zhang Jiao.
At that moment, he had to nod, put away the wrench handed to him by Zhang Jiao, and flew away.
At this time, Guan Fenglong called Guo Bin and handed him the black sword that Tang Zhou had carried with him, but was thrown far away by Dong Xing'er, and said: "This sword has an extraordinary origin, but I don't know it, so I'll give it to you." ”
After Guo Bin thanked him, he stretched out his hand to take it, and his hand sank. It was only now that he had a chance to take a closer look at the sword. I saw that the sword body was thin and long, divided into eight sides, pitch black, and there was no streamer, as if it was a black hole, and the light seemed to be absorbed when it hit it. The hilt of the sword seems to be made of mahogany, and between the concave and convex shapes the shape of the hand, and when the right hand is held up, it must be called out comfortably. The head of the sword has a dragon-shaped pattern, and the word "Zhongxing" is engraved on the sword body in seal script. It seems that Guo Bin's guess was correct at the beginning, and the Zhongxing sword that Tang Zhou held in his hand was indeed made by the Son of Heaven, but it was inexplicably stolen in the palace.
This sword is a variant of the Han Dynasty ring head sword, the sword head has a ring, but the sword body is double-edged, and it seems more appropriate to call it a ring head sword.
After thanking Guan Fenglong, Guo Bin took Dong Xing'er Pegasus to the official army camp.
Although only half a day has passed, the two seem to have experienced a century together. They not only know the history of Zhengyi, but also know a lot of secrets in the rivers and lakes, and they have also experienced the fall of two martial arts predecessors. It can be said that this half-day experience is more ups and downs, ups and downs, and thrilling than the experience of many people's lifetimes.
The two of them are not very old, and neither has experienced life and death. Although he has killed and saved people on the battlefield, he has all unknown and even irrelevant people. Today's two martial arts seniors are both kind to the two, and they are both heroes and heroes whom they respect and admire very much, so the death of the two touched them greatly.
Along the way, neither of them said a word, but only urged the horses under their crotches to gallop towards the camp.
Looking at the big camp in sight, Guo Bin suddenly stopped fighting horses. I saw a long neighing of the war horse, and the man stood up, and he stood up with a flick of his tail. Dong Xing'er saw it, and she didn't know why, she had already rushed out, but she stopped her horse, turned around, and said to Guo Bin: "Brother Bin, what's wrong?" ”
Guo Bin turned over and dismounted, walked to Dong Xing'er's horse, led her horse's bridle, and slowly moved forward. As he walked, he said: "Xing'er, today I saw the death of two seniors, and I felt very uncomfortable. What do you say people live in this world for? The martial arts of the two predecessors are high, and we can hope for them, and the meritorious deeds of Zhang's predecessors are also impressive. But once he is dead, he is still at the mercy of others, I said that he will spark it, and no matter how high his martial arts are, he can't refute it. ”
Dong Xing'er was watching Guo Bin lead the horse for herself with joy, where did she expect him to say such a thing? Thinking of his usual efforts, her heart was occupied by a kind of pity and distress.
