Chapter 576: Wuguan
The next day, until the sun rose and the old and the young ate some dry food, they drove the ox cart over and continued on their way. The young man was in a hurry, so he naturally hurried up, and the old man was very uncomfortable sitting in the car.
"Slow down, don't be in such a hurry!"
The boy slowed down, and after a while he was getting faster again. A valley that took half a column of incense to complete. As soon as he got out of the mountain pass, the young man suddenly stopped the carriage: "Giant, look ahead!" ”
The old man leaned on his waist and turned his head to look ahead. In the middle of the road not far away, six heads are placed in a row in the middle of the road, neatly arranged in two rows, three in a row.
The old man frowned: "Quick, go and see!" ”
The young man raised his whip again, but this time the old man did not shout a little slower, and the old cow also used all his strength and ran. The ringing of the cowbell became rapid and chaotic, making a screeching sound. When the two approached, the boy jumped out of the ox cart and came to the two rows of heads. Looking at the head on the ground, a face turned purple and ugly.
"Help me!" Suddenly, a head made a sound, and the boy was startled, and hurriedly swept backwards, drawing his sword at the same time.
The old man smiled: "Scared? ”
The young man took a deep breath and looked at the head in front of him vigilantly, making sure that it was still in the same place, and then walked around to the old man. The old man gently pushed the young man away: "They are not dead, they are buried here and only their heads are exposed, find something to dig out!" ”
The boy looked closely. As the old man said, those heads were people who had been buried in the big pit, but the soil on the ground had been carefully trimmed and exactly the same as the next one, so I was wrong.
The young man blushed and hurriedly went to find something to dig people. There were six people in total, and they were firmly tied up before they were buried, and they could be seen from the bruises on their bodies that they had been beaten. The boy took great difficulty to dig out all six of them, and without the permission of the old man, he did not untie the ropes from several people. Wiping a handful of sweat, he helped the old man to sit down on the stone beside him.
Six gray-faced men knelt side by side in front of the old man, pressing their heads very low, not daring to make a sound.
"Let go! Hehe! The old man smiled: "In the end, he is still young, and his playfulness is still there." ”
The six people who were untied said in unison: "The villain has the trust of the negative giant, and he is willing to accept the punishment!" ”
"Tell me how they found out? Our Mo family's skills are unparalleled in the world, and they have all been discovered, it seems that Su Ren has capable people under him. ”
A few people were silent again. The person kneeling on the far left took a long time before he said: "Giant, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I don't know, I'm waiting for a few people to be lurking, and suddenly a few people appeared, and before we could react, they were ......."
The old man sighed and waved his hand: "Needless to say! Are you really stupid, or are you not good at learning, and no one will receive twenty lashes after you go back, and you will not be allowed to go out for three years, can you understand? ”
"No!"
"Go back now!"
Several people were stunned for a moment, and looked at the young man beside the old man for help. The young man hurriedly said: "Giant, you only took the six of them with you when you went out this time, it is dangerous to go to Chang'an, you let them go, the kid is afraid that he won't be able to protect your safety, if there is a mistake, the kid will be sorry for the ancestor even if he dies!" ”
The six people hurriedly kowtowed: "I implore the giant to stay with me, and when the giant goes back, I will wait to receive the punishment!" ”
The old man shook his head: "It's okay, Su Ren doesn't want to be our enemy, since he didn't kill the six of you, he won't attack me, go back!" ”
"Giant!"
The old man's face darkened, and he slowly stood up: "Go back, I've already decided!" He turned his head to the young man beside him and said, "Hurry!" ”
Finally walked out of Xuanyuan Mountain, the dazzling sunlight was blocked by tall trees, and the walk was not as hot as a few days ago. Su Ren abandoned the horse and rode in the carriage, lifted all the curtains, and tried to ventilate the carriage as much as possible. Wearing only a single coat, leaning on the carriage, I couldn't help but think of Liu An's luxurious carriage, and I wished I had one. Although ice cubes cannot be stored for a long time, at least they will cool for a while.
Liu Shuang still couldn't lift his spirits, Su Ren said that his mouth was dry, and what he was waiting for was just a roll of Liu Shuang's eyes. After a morning of commentary, Su Ren gave up completely, this kind of thing can only be relieved if Liu Shuang himself figures it out, no matter how much he says, Liu Shuang's left ear goes in and out of his right ear, it doesn't make any sense. For this kind of person who is strong on the outside but fragile on the inside, only time can regain his strength, and the wound in his heart is too big to heal for a while.
Patting Liu Shuang on the shoulder, Su Ren said: "I've finished saying what I should say, you think it out yourself, it's just a little thing, not to mention that I didn't kill you, if you stand in front of Liu Xiao, he may not dare to do it." ”
Liu Shuang didn't say a word, just cared about drinking. Su Ren sighed, aggrieved, and stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Where are you going!" Slowly, don't think it's a tour of the mountains and rivers, hurry back to Chang'an, and get down to business! ”
For his own master, the people under him all understand that his unhappiness needs a release, others are not good at scolding, and his own people are the best punching bag. Only the manniu, a tendon that had not yet been seen clearly, remained next to Su Ren's car, and when he heard Su Ren's shout, he hurriedly ran over: "Qinling is in front, and you can reach Wuguan at noon!" ”
Wuguan, an important pass on the border of Kuching Chu and Qin-Chu, and Hangu Pass, Sanguan and Xiao Pass are called Qin Sisai, blocking the important pass into the Qin State from the southeast and northwest. The reason why the Chang'an area is called Guanzhong is also because of these four passes. Wuguan has been built in the Spring and Autumn Period, called Shaoxi Pass, and renamed Wuguan during the Warring States Period. This pass guards the main road, built in a flat high place in a canyon, north of Shaoxi Mountain, south of the dangerous point. The terrain of Kansai is flat, and if you want to enter Guanzhong, you must first break this pass, which has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.
After the Han Dynasty unified the world, Wuguan lost his role. After the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, there was a chance to use it again, but Emperor Jing was worried that the garrison in Wuguan would make the princes outside the pass suspicious, so he did not send a single soldier after the simple repair, and now it has been abandoned for many years, and has become a gathering place for wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the mountains.
Coming to the pass, the once tall wall is broken after being washed by wind and rain, half of the city tower has collapsed, leaving only a few unrecognizable seal characters on the top of the east gate. It took me a long time to understand that it was written with the word Wuguan.
Han Qing sighed and said with emotion: "I think that when Gaozu and the Qin army fought here for several months, it was always difficult to capture, if it wasn't for the surrender of the Wuguan guards, the first person to enter the pass may not be Gaozu, I didn't expect such a majestic pass, which resisted thousands of troops and horses but couldn't stop the wind and drizzle, and it was chilling to fall into this appearance!" ”
Su Ren smiled: "No matter how majestic the pass is, it will be broken sooner or later, is the Great Wall majestic?" Maybe after a few hundred years, there will not even be any scum left, and a small martial arts pass will not be able to stand here forever! ”
Han Qing nodded: "Yes!" When the Zhou Dynasty was established, all the eight hundred princes in the world returned to their hearts, and they disappeared in just eight hundred years. ”
Su Ren is a descendant of the world, naturally knows the power of time, and knows more about what is called the vicissitudes of life, today's land was an ocean tens of thousands of years ago, and these buildings of human beings are not even farts in the long river of history. Ignoring Han Qing's emotion, he climbed the stairs and entered the gate. It has been abandoned for too long, and this place has been occupied by wild grass, and it cannot be seen from the outside, and after entering, it is green everywhere, and the doors, windows, and earthen walls are all crawling, and if you are careless and frighten the animals inside, it is the end of chickens and dogs.
Hawking carried a shuttle dart to inspect the circle, and when he came out again, he was holding a hare in his hand, and shouted at Su Ren excitedly: "Hahahaha, you can have a good meal tonight, I want to vomit after eating all those dry foods!" ”
Shi Bao pouted Li Dare to go up to the wall, and the two of them came out of it with several pheasants and hares on their backs, and when they passed by Hawking's side, they shook the things in their hands proudly, which caused Hawking to roll his eyes.
This is their camp today, Su Ren's purpose is to see the majesty of Xiongguan, but he didn't expect that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Standing in front of the city gate, I suddenly remembered a poem: "Time comes and goes if the cycle, the two closed flat clouds lock the mountain, only call Qin to set up danger, do not know the sky and the Han as the pass, greedy for life do not do a thousand years, to the capital of a dream, fight for it like a rock into the water, from his rise and fall from the murmur." ”
"Good!" The master father clapped his hands and applauded: "Sir, this short sentence is very beautiful, it can be said that it is rare in the world!" ”
Su Ren coughed embarrassedly: "Feel it, feel it!" Laugh, laugh! ”
Han Qing nodded while savoring: "The last two sentences are very exquisite, and the fight is like a rock into the water, from his rise and fall to his own humbling!" Thinking about how dangerous it was back then, who would have thought that one day it would be what it is today! When I first heard Mr. 's sentence, I asked you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river flowing eastward, I felt that Mr. has everyone's demeanor, and today's short sentence is full of changes in the times, and only people like Mr. can say this kind of thing. ”
Copying poems is not Su Ren's forte, he knows best how many things are in his stomach, and he hurriedly waved his hand and began to interrupt: "Dinner, they hit a lot of game today, the taste of the dish should be good, and it is a blessing to taste the wine by the moonlight, take a walk, go and see if it is done?" ”
Han Qing and the main father only felt that Su Ren was low-key and admired it even more. Without further words, he came towards the camp under the leadership of Su Ren.
Dry food is naturally not as delicious as game, and a large pot of stewed is fragrant, which attracts many people, and one by one unconsciously surrounds the Ding to watch the direct drool. Hawking started first, scooped up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, completely ignoring the taste of raw and cooked food. Huang Shisan and Manniu did the same, and they ate a lot. Shi Bao was still well-behaved, and under the siege and interception of a group of wolf-like guys, he grabbed a bowl and took it out and gave it to Su Ren.
