Chapter 2: The Assassination (I)
"Looking up at the end of the day, I woke up, and I didn't report to the mountain gate.
The family does not know who the flowers will be, and the father and the son will repay each other in the end. ”
On the top of the mountain that passed through the clouds, a Taoist with a whisk of dust said slowly. Then he stroked his beard, looked into the distance, a round of red sun, poked out from the churning sea of clouds, the light suddenly shone brightly, the Taoist swept the dust, a crane appeared, and then drove the crane away.
In the distance, a man stood up from the ground, dressed in tattered satin, with pierced green boots, his face pale, blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and his hair unkempt. Holding himself with both hands, he sighed into his palms from time to time, covered his face and ears, and kept walking around, that's right, he is Ji Zhan, the master of the Ji family. Last night and the wolf battle, a little unbearable, look at the fire that has been extinguished on the ground and the wolf's corpse, can't help but have palpitations, if there is another wave, even one, I can't bear it, for today's plan or go for the best move, here I don't know much, if there is a change, it will definitely suffer, or go for the best policy. Then he got up and saluted, and waited for the sword to go away.
The sun is rising, walking for a while, sweating, the teahouse in front, is to meet, see people coming and going, busy traffic, there are passers-by to quench their thirst and drink tea and chat, and the government escorts the prisoners to sit quietly inside, not a word, next to a few children are playing games, so not happy, but to sit down, "Xiao Er, come to Hulongjing." ”
"Okay, the tea is here, please use it slowly." Gu Gu has two pots in his stomach, and his body and mind are suddenly comfortable. Leaning against the pillar leisurely, blowing a cool breeze, he has been out for two days, and he has not found Wushan, so it is better to ask the little second brother to see if he knows.
"Little second brother, do you know how far Wushan is from here?" Ji Zhan asked.
"Wushan is thirty kilometers away from here, go east, pass through a forest to the foot of the mountain, but the peak of Wushan is steep, and there are many ghosts and monsters, it is recommended that you do not go, if you go, you must gather in groups of three or five, and there is a good response on the road."
"Little second brother, don't worry, I have a trick, and I'm not afraid of ghosts and demons, not to mention that my friend lives in Wushan, just worried, how can I set off for such a long journey." Ji Zhan said with a sigh.
"It seems that my friend is also in a hurry, so it's better for us to be together," said the two officials next to him.
"Really? That's great, let's go. Ji Zhan said excitedly.
Suddenly, Ji Zhan seemed to see Xiao Er shaking his head at him, but he didn't really see it, so he didn't care about it, and thought: Maybe it's wrong. and the official errand, all the way to chat, Ji Zhan found that these two people were very emotional, did not hide anything from him, completely treated him as a friend, and ate the same on the road, in his opinion, this kind of relationship is not a family and is closer than a family, because he has no brothers and sisters, I don't know what this kind of family affection looks like, but now these two officials have given him warmth and care, so he now completely treats them as a family. There were talking and laughing along the way, going over mountains and mountains, but occasionally the prisoner who was escorted would say a few words that were not good, Ji Zhan himself didn't mind very much, but in the eyes of the officials, he was very unqualified, so every time they were interrupted by the prisoner, they would beat the prisoner violently, although they didn't say anything, they sympathized with the prisoner in their hearts, and they didn't know what law he had committed, and he would be arrested. Ji Zhan was very curious, so he planned to take some time to ask this prisoner.
But Ji Zhan is not allowed to do this in terms of time, because the time is very urgent, and Fan Liang and Su Cheng will find out if they are not careful, although the three of them have already married, regardless of you and me, but the eldest brother and the second brother seem to care about this prisoner very much, and do not let ordinary people follow them, last time because of his kindness, he destroyed the kindness of the two elder brothers, sent water to the prisoner to drink, was found by the brothers, and scolded him, this time he can't be found, then it will be miserable.
In the evening, Ji Zhan quietly asked the prisoner when the two elder brothers were no longer there, "What law did you break and why were you arrested?" Ji Zhan asked curiously.
"My name is Mo Wait, I am the prince of Shaohao Kingdom, the king has no way, I smiled for Bo Daji, burned my 600,000 soldiers and civilians, as a birthday color for Daji, and also captured the young people of my country to do labor, many people have died of exhaustion, white bones, blood flowed like a river, how can you let everything be returned, or you have to rely on the lives of King Su and Daji as the price, so I led people to sneak into the court overnight, wanting to assassinate King Su and Daji, but I didn't expect the operation to end before it started, because my guards informed, causing us to fall short, but I swear, As long as I go out one day, I will definitely turn the whole song upside down. Mo said resentfully with tears in his eyes.
"Why don't I know these things, I've been in Changshan County for more than 20 years, and I've only heard people say that the emperor is hard working and loves the people, how can it change in your mouth, besides, if the king is not a good emperor, how can my eldest brother and second brother follow him, isn't this a contradiction?" Ji Zhan touched the back of his head and said.
"Everyone has to run for life, and there is really no way to make a living, but I tell you, your two brothers are not good people, you have to be careful with them.
