Chapter 185: I Believe

Flashes of light.

The cloak was cut by a huge force, and the thing slid through the flesh and disappeared behind him, Xun Shuang staggered a few steps, and almost sat down on the ground.

At the same time, where he had been standing, a small arrow flew by, and he heard the sound of the drape being pierced behind him.

"Brother Deran! That's my Tzu Ming grandfather! Stop it! ”

Xun You's shout was high-pitched, and one hand was raised and swayed, trying to block the trajectory of the Hidden Arrow.

And with the sound of the words, the young man lying on the bed finally stopped, the young man's breathing was heavy and rapid, his body trembled violently, and his eyes were full of complex and indescribable emotions.

Murderous intent, anger, cowardice, struggle, reluctance......

Xun Shuang's heart was beating like a drum, and he didn't move while swallowing saliva.

In fact, when the first arrow flew over, there were not many elements that were carried back by the arrow, and at that moment, it was the weakness of his legs that allowed him to dodge the second arrow.

After a false alarm, he breathed heavily, and even his body trembled as often as the other party.

Liu Zheng looked at each other, his eyes were already red.

It is no longer clear whether it is caused by the pain involved in this action, or whether the body has a stress response caused by the huge pressure in the heart.

He glared at the middle-aged man named Xun Shuang, panting heavily, but his left hand was still on his right wrist, and his two hands trembled like chaff.

Xun You was also panting heavily, almost slumping on the mat, he swallowed his saliva, and reluctantly comforted: "Brother Deran, calm down, calm down!" That's my Ciming grandfather, if you want to threaten you, go and report to General Zhonglang first, wouldn't it be more appropriate to bring someone here? ”

Liu Zheng didn't respond, still staring at Xun Shuang, and the face that gradually twisted up made Xun You have a bad premonition again.

Behind him, there was a sudden sound of the curtain being pulled apart, and in the field of vision, Liu Zheng suddenly knocked his fist on the bed, looking panicked, Xun You was stunned, and hurriedly turned his head, and saw that there was no more of his own Ciming grandfather at the entrance of the camp.

Liu Zheng's eyes were moist, and his heart was in a mess.

Xun You was also flustered, he found out for the first time that he even suspected that his grandfather would kill his relatives this time.

Just a moment later, there was a sound of conversation outside, and then I saw Xi Yu leading Xun Shuang in again, "Lord, this old man said that he was your relative, and he came over this time...... Uh, lord, Xun Gongzi, how do you ......?"

"It's okay...... You go and call Zhongjing over, I'm ...... the Pulled to the wound! ”

Liu Zheng looked at Xun Shuang, who looked like usual, fell softly on the bed, closed his eyes and touched his heart, and suddenly shouted, "Ah! "Yes.

"My lord?"

Xi Yu looked stunned.

"Go ahead! Brother Fang Cai Deran was so excited that he almost fell out of bed. It's painful. ”

Xun You looked at Xun Shuang intently, and smiled with red eyes.

Xi Yu hurriedly went out, Xun Shuang pinched out two sleeve arrows from his sleeve, turned them in his hand, moved and put them on the desk, and suddenly his figure shook, and he pressed one hand on the desk to stabilize his figure.

He let out a long breath, "Shouldn't the old man thank Gongzi Liu for not killing?" ”

"Interesting? Interesting! Are you going to come in and tell me that the wall has ears? But it was already light, and you were listening to my bed, weren't you...... This joke can't be made! If you die...... Damn, I'm glad I'm injured and my hands are shaking, otherwise...... Ha, haha! ”

Liu Zheng shook his head and laughed with tears.

“…… Boring. ”

Xun Shuang also laughed, that smile was extremely bitter, "It's as boring as 'Xun Shuqing' involving female Xun...... The killing disaster has rushed to the door, what do you want me to do? Don't scare you, knock you, everyone won't have to live...... Liu Gongzi, you are very capable! Thousands of miles of marriage by yourself, and you have to kill the old man......"

"You blame me...... Blame me...... I hate myself for myself. A whole bunch of messy things were done...... How about Nuxun? Does she know? ”

Liu Zheng put his face on his hands and said in a vague voice.

"The old man doesn't know. The female Xun was arranged by me to a safe place, and there was no correspondence with the old man. Plus the old man went to Beijing ......"

Xun Shuang shook his head and looked at Xun You, who was speechless, then reacted, sat on the desk, pulled down his cloak and hat and said with a wry smile: "The old man didn't expect that you were real...... The old man would rather you are just a dream. Such a thing, you will even stand it, and let my Xun family stand it. Also, punctuation, and what pinyin, and those poems and calligraphy...... It's all your own thoughts? ”

"Yes, do you believe it? Ha, haha......"

Liu Zheng shook his head, "But Zhu Zhonglang will destroy me." He was going to kill everyone in Wancheng this morning, and he used what I wrote as the reason for his killing. Moths and thieves are like locusts...... Where have I ever said such a thing, I just said that people's psychology and spirit can be changed, and as long as one person knows the principle, he can instill in others the ideas he wants to instill. Is this the same? I'm talking about something that every moth thief can realize...... And he directly ruined all my reputation. ”

"You're right."

Xun Shuang glanced at the off-the-books scene exposed through the cracks in the curtain, "He, Zhu Gongwei, is helping His Majesty train loyal ministers and righteous soldiers." And you are where you are today because he values you and thinks you are useful. And you're talking too much, and you're too good at getting into trouble...... He wants you to shut up, be patient, don't do messy things, and concentrate on doing things for Your Majesty. As for fame, it doesn't matter. ”

"But if I die, he doesn't care, does he?"

"That's right."

"You...... Does it matter? Did Nuxun tell you? ”

"That girl went back to Yingyin two months ago, knelt down directly and said she wanted to see you. At that time, I only knew that you had typhoid fever...... The old man's face was lost by her! ”

Xun You looked stunned, Xun Shuang shook his head with a wry smile, "Now even Gongda has a good relationship with you." Can the old man be indifferent? ”

He paused, "It's just, Gongda, I'm waiting for the family to be separated." ”

Xun You was stunned: "Split? ”

"Yes, self-preservation, but also for my Xun clan. If you have talent, the old man will not talk about the side lineage. In the future, do you want the old man to help you arrange it, or do you arrange a way out by yourself? Old man...... Now he sits in the position of the head of the house. ”

Xun You glanced at Liu Zheng and said with a wry smile: "Let's get through this matter first...... Moreover, we are always different from you. If I have my grandfather's protection, I am afraid that others will still look down on me and other relatives. ”

Xun Shuang bowed, "That's right." You think it through. With your talents, he may be able to stand on his own one day, and the old man will not limit you. If he has something to do in the future, you just need to greet the old man, and the old man has to thank you for Brown's matter. ”

"Let's start with that."

Liu Zheng rubbed his face, raised his eyes to look at Xun Shuang, and said bluntly: "I want to die, what do you think?" ”

"How about you let my daughter go?"

Seeing Xun You looking over with a shocked face, Xun Shuang also rubbed his face: "The old man serves His Majesty this time, it can be said that it is because of you." Because of you, the old man came into contact with General Lu Zhonglang, and only then did he split up, so that I could let the Xun family go to their own futures, and be displaced, to escape the charge of joint sitting, which may come in the future...... You seek fame and fortune, and the old man doesn't care, but the feeling you give others now is frivolous. After the death of Humble Jing, the old man raised the daughter Xun with his own hands, although he also had the intention of letting her fight for a little benefit for my Xun family, but in the final analysis, he also hoped that she would live well. And you...... Square peg. ”

"The love of children is not a business. My two poems were originally ......"

"The old man knows. However, on what grounds! ”

Xun Shuang was a little angry, "For hundreds of years, which one is not the words of the matchmaker of the parents?" You suddenly stepped in and offended the female Xun repeatedly, the old man is a father, how do you tell the old man to deal with himself? The old man came to see you this time, although he had the intention of verifying you as a human being, he also wanted to persuade you, can you let go and find another girl? Qinghe Cui's family, Fanyang Lu's family, Runan Yuan's ...... Which one is worse than my Xun family? Why bother? The old man doesn't want Nuxun to be on the cusp. And almost every time you do, you can find a flaw! Not to mention, slander the law of human ethics and etiquette, the old man, as a descendant of Xunzi, is also Confucian orthodoxy, if he responds to you, doesn't it make the world's corporal family laugh? It's how well your poems are written! ”

"I didn't think about it that much...... Later, many people told me, and I learned that a thousand people have a thousand opinions. Can...... Wouldn't you be wrong about those ideas? ”

Liu Zheng's face hesitated, and he shook his head, "Forget it, I don't defend it, it's my mistake, I also have three years to repent and ponder, you ......"

"You still have to say! Revenge, your father is on his deathbed, and you are still stuck in the trivial things of your children's love? Failure in virtue and deed...... How can the old man believe you! ”

Xun Shuang said angrily: "Gongda doesn't know, and others may not know." But the old man didn't know anything about you in the past two months! first married Jin Lan with two young people who were enemies of 10,000 people, and then established a private school similar to Hongdu Gate School, in a vain attempt to rewrite the "Examination of the Work Record" - do you know who the "Examination of the Work Record" was compiled for? It was written for the royal family of the Qi Kingdom! Then there is the sword god and the spear god, and even the female Xun ...... Now even Zhang Man's CD is involved! Liu Deran, what you have is not small! Are you sure you can endure these three years? It's forbearance, he won't do some ridiculous things in the future? ”

Liu Zheng was stunned, turned his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"You know! You know it well! If the old man hadn't experienced the matter of Nuxun, he would never have thought of this! But now, the old man knows what you're doing! Are you really going to ...... Conspiracy! ”

Xun You's pupils were one, Liu Zheng also raised his head suddenly, Xun Shuang pinched the edge of the case, his hands were bruised, and his tone was fast, "You are testing the reaction of your subordinates!" Want to see how loyal they are to you! When the time comes, ......"

Liu Zheng interrupted: "I didn't! ”

"You have!"

"I really don't!"

"So what the hell do you know! What the hell is going to be done! ”

"I ......"

Liu Zheng was stunned, looked at Xun Shuang's serious expression, remembered what he had said to Liu Shi in the past, but in the end it made Liu Shi depressed, then hesitated for a moment, but still buried his head and said frankly: "The party is lifted, and sooner or later there will be a battle between the Shi clan and the eunuch party." At that time, His Majesty died violently, the powerful ministers made a rebellion, and the battle for succession was ...... The world is already like this, it will be even more chaotic, and even the heroes will compete with each other...... I don't know if it will hurt you, you just treat me as nonsense......"

"I believe it!"

Liu Zheng was stunned, looked at Xun Shuang, and saw Xun Shuang's face solemn, but nodded and said, "The old man believes in you!" ”

"Grandfather ......"

Xun You's face was pale and his expression was absurd, "What are you talking about?" ”

Xun Shuang ignored it, and said: "The old man asked you, you have prepared so much, what will you do when the time comes?" Are you among the princes? Or is there you among the princes, or is your goal on the dragon couch? ”

"I ......"

Liu Zheng was flustered, "Don't force me, I don't know at all." The tide is not in my hands. I had no idea what I would ...... by then."

"Old man, as long as you think at this time!"

Xun Shuang was aggressive: "Do you want to be the king of Qin, or do you want to capture the king?" ”

"Do you believe me?"

"The old man just doesn't believe it, someone will! The old man will also make the world believe! ”

Xun Shuang clenched his fists, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or exhausted his strength to decide, "Proverbs, promises, you don't care how much the old man believes!" The old man wants you an attitude! ”

"King Qin...... I'm self-aware. ”

Xun Shuang closed his eyes when he heard this, was silent for a long time, and his tone softened, "Okay, remember what you said!" ”

He stood up and walked to the door, Xun You shouted, "Grandfather, I'll wait ......"

"You don't have to worry about rebellion. The old man and the son's godbrother have their own decisions. ”

Xun Shuang pulled open the curtain, turned his head and looked at Liu Zheng with complicated eyes, "Why did you stop?" Is the mind to stop coming from Nu Xun, or is it my Xun family? ”

"Both."

"The old man is your elder, right?"

Xun Shuang turned his head to look outside the tent and watched the soldiers patrolling over, "Why don't you use honorific titles for the old man?" ”

"I don't know what to shout...... I'm afraid that you will scold me, beat me, and give me a little bit, but it will be easier to deal with...... My heart was in turmoil, and I didn't know what to say. ”

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

"Well, that's understandable. The old man is also angry now...... But don't worry, Zhu Gongwei may want you to die, but the old man must let you live...... You may not know the character of the female Xun. She is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if she really wants to die, the old man can't do it. And what you said, whether the old man is true or not, does he know that he has accumulated a lot? ”

"Yes."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"It's good to know."

The curtain was pulled down, and a sentence came in from outside the tent, "In the future, let's call Ci Ming Gong first, and after three years, the old man will go to Zhuo County, and then call my uncle...... In between, the old man wants your sincerity. You give me peace and filial piety! Leave nothing at all! If not...... Compared with Zhu Gongwei, the old man is not bad at all! ”

Liu Zheng was stunned.

Xun You shouted a few times, knowing that Xun Shuang had gone away, he turned his head and said in shock and anger: "What are you talking about!" Why can't I understand a word! Proverbs? Are you a Fangshi? What a holy ......"

"Brother Deran, what's wrong?"

Zhang Ji suddenly broke in, Liu Zheng buried his head on the pillow, and said a little excitedly: "It's okay...... It's okay. How's it going over there? Is General Lu embarrassed you? ”

"Nope. It's just that these days, the machine may not come often. The machine was arranged to rescue the wounded. In addition, General Lu will personally send people to protect you. ”

Zhang Ji checked Xun You's injuries, frowned, and said: "Gongda, although it is a flesh injury, it is not advisable to move more, the conditions in the camp are not good, if it is infected, it ......."

Twitter, Xun You's mind was a mess, lying on the mat just staring at Liu Zheng without speaking.

Liu Zheng didn't speak, lying on the bed thinking about Xun Shuang's words in a mess, and then cried and laughed.

……

The sun gradually rose, and at noon, in the county office, Zhu Jun sat in the lobby and pretended to sleep a little tiredly.

There were people coming and going in the lobby, one by one the boxes were moved in, Fu Xie whispered a few words to him, he nodded absentmindedly, and when the boxes were almost carried, Fu Xie listened to the words of his subordinates, and went over to him and said: "General Zhonglang, these are the only things that can be found now." In addition, someone inquired that General Qin and General Xi also found some in the county guard's mansion, and those angels passed, and our people couldn't get in...... Do you want to ...... general?"

The two generals were eunuchs, Zhu Jun opened his eyes when he heard this, his eyes flashed coldly, and then he shook his head, asked those subordinates to open the box and look at the bamboo slips in it, and asked, "Can someone burn and kill and plunder in the rest of the place?" What about those strife? ”

"I can't control it...... The last general didn't care. ”

There was a cry in the distance outside the door, and Fu Xie frowned, "Those people are still shouting...... It seems that there are more and more. ”

"Go take care of it."

Zhu Jun rubbed his temples and sighed, "The matter has come to this, the military rations in the army have been halved, and they can be taken care of." You told them that when the old man returned to Beijing, he would show his majesty to see if he could exempt Nanyang from taxes and make them all feel better...... Those businessmen, after this war, I am afraid that there is still a lot of surplus food at home...... You just copied it and sent someone to distribute it. These people can definitely survive the thieves. If there is resistance, there is no need to report it again, just kill it. ”

"No."

Fu Xie was ordered to go out.

Seeing many soldiers inspecting the bamboo slips, their faces were different, and most of them were a little stunned, Zhu Jun frowned, picked up a roll of bamboo slips, looked at the pen and ink on it, his eyes flashed, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "Find a few more people to compile and sort out these anti-books." Let's see how many people there are! ”

He flipped through a few more volumes at random, and someone suddenly came over beside him and said, "General Zhonglang, is this the pen and ink of Liu Gongzi?" ”

Zhu Jun took it, looked at it a few times, his eyes softened, and he couldn't help but laugh: "The wolf is coming, Mengxue...... Look for it again. My virtuous nephew's name is Liu Zhengzi Deran. By the way, find someone to find Xu Tingshi and ask him to bring over the two volumes of Liu Gongzi's anti-book that have been passed down from all over the country. The old man is useful. ”

"General Zhonglang, find another volume."

Zhu Jun took it, knelt down and sat back on the seat, looking at the two rolls of bamboo slips, "The wolf is coming, the wolf and the rabbit...... The implication is good. ”

He watched word by word, and from time to time he said, "Although it is a story...... It's a bit of a joke, but it's also funny. Hey, these symbols seem to have their own rules......" and something like that, and after a while, a shrill voice outside the door suddenly said arrogantly: "Get out of the way!" Guo is sent by His Majesty, and he has something important to report to General Zhonglang! If you dare to stop it, if you delay Your Majesty's affairs, believe it or not, I will let your heads fall to the ground! ”

Zhu Jun frowned, put away the two rolls of bamboo slips and hid them in his sleeves, and shouted, "Let the angels come in!" ”
