Chapter 100 Things are not people
In mid-August, Gong Huiran and Zhang Xun finally returned to Wu and walked outside Gusu City, Zhang Xun was in a very good mood, riding a tall horse in front of the team, he looked at Gusu City from afar, and said to Gong Huiran: "Why hasn't Xiao Ji come to pick us up yet?" This guy is so unrighteous. [This chapter is the first to start, love, have, sound, remember the URL ()]"
Gong Wanran sighed and said, "Brother Ji has some things that can't come, you must remember that no matter what happens for a while, you must stay sane." ”
When Zhang Xun heard Gong Wanran say this, he immediately felt a strong uneasiness, he grabbed Gong Wanran and asked, "Brother Xiao Ran, what happened?" What's going on? ”
Gong Wanran shook his head, "You'll know in a while, but promise me, no matter what, you have to refrain from it, okay?" ”
Zhang Xunmian nodded in embarrassment.
Soon, the two came to the city gate, at this time the city gate was closed, and there was only a guard of honor under the city wall to greet them, and Wan Suming stood in front of the team, waiting for them to return.
Zhang Xun and Gong Wanran stepped forward and saluted Su Ming, "There is Lord Lao County Lieutenant to greet you." ”
"Da Sima, Lord Simin." Su Ming returned the salute.
Zhang Xun tilted his head and glanced at the closed city gate and asked, "Lord County Lieutenant, why is this?" ”
Juan Suming did not answer, but said: "Two adults, I came to hand over at the behest of the king, and asked the two adults to hand over the military power. ”
"Whoa!" Gong Huiran responded to the order, and then Gong Huiran and Zhang Xun respectively took out the talisman from their arms and handed it to Juan Suming, who took the talisman and then said: "Two adults, please come with me, the king has been waiting for a long time." ”
After that, the city gate slowly opened, and the two followed Juan Suming into the city, and Zhang Xun was confused. Gongyan ran never said a word, and at this time Zhang Xun was almost sure that something must have happened to Ji Zheng.
After coming to the palace and collecting the sword, the two met King Wu, who was surrounded by several Janissaries with swords.
After some greetings, King Wu said: "Two, this king has done a wrong thing. ”
After saying this, Gong Wanran didn't say a word, just lowered his head with a melancholy expression.
Zhang Xun was uneasy and asked, "Is it it, Ji Zheng ......?"
King Wu nodded, "Yes, this king killed him. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xun straightened up suddenly, he stared at King Wu with wide eyes, his fists clenched, and he gasped heavily. Gong Wanran put his hand on Zhang Xun's back and stroked it gently.
King Wu sighed and said slowly: "Gong Huiran, Ji Zheng, Zhang Xun, the names of the three of you, Brother Yan has already explained, and I have always hoped that the three of you can become the pillars of the Wu Kingdom." It's just Ji Zheng, but he has never been credited, and no one has recommended him, originally Yu Suming was going to recommend him as the right Sima, but for some reason he was above the court, but he didn't mention it, so I couldn't find an opportunity to promote him. ”
He ...... He...... He...... What's going on? Zhang Xun asked in a trembling voice.
"Huang Yun told the king, the folk girl Hana is not married, I see that the woman is as beautiful as a fairy, so I want to be called into the palace as a concubine, who would think, Hana is actually Ji Zhengwei's wife. Hey, Hana has a strong temperament and refuses to enter the palace, she can't think about it for a while, she actually killed herself, after Ji Zheng knew, she looked for Huang Yun to take revenge, and when she fought, she was killed by the Praetorian Guards, and her body fell into the river, and she was nowhere to be found. ”
Huang Yun ...... Huang Yun! King! This is Huang Yun's deliberate frame-up! ”
King Wu nodded, "This king knows that Su Ming has informed this king of the things behind the scenes, and I have punished Huang Yun, demoted him to a third-level title, and punished him for three years, but he is the queen's brother after all, and I hope that the two adults can understand and don't do anything excessive." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Xun's tears flowed down his cheeks, and he didn't have the strength to answer King Wu's words, but he tried his best not to let himself cry.
Gong Wanran was also grief-stricken, he grabbed Zhang Xun and saluted to King Wu, and then saluted: "King, I'll take him back first." ”
"Go, this time to go to the Chen Kingdom, you have done a very good job, go back first and rest well, this king will definitely reward you heavily."
Gong Wanran sobbed a little and said, "Thank you, King." ”
Subsequently, Gong Wanran dragged Zhang Xun, who was crying silently, out of the palace.
The courtyard that is away from March has long been a matter of people at this time.
Weeds more than half a foot tall grew in the cracks of the stone slabs on the ground, a few broken arrows were still deep in the courtyard wall, and the thick dust covered the black blood and sword marks, everything here was so familiar, but so unfamiliar.
They used to sit and talk here, enjoy flowers and wine here, have snowball fights here, and learn martial arts here, and those happy images seemed to be around them, touching lightly, but then disappearing without a trace.
Zhang Xun's crying swollen eyes could no longer shed tears, but when he saw things and thought about people, his emotions collapsed again, he was furious, and suddenly pulled out his sword, ready to take the door out.
"What are you doing?" Gong Huang shouted.
Zhang Xun froze and didn't look back, "I'm going to kill Huang Yun!" ”
"Are you going to throw away your life like this?"
"I don't care! I must kill Huang Yun! Avenge Xiao Ji, Hana, and Winter Teeth! ”
Gong Wanran slowly walked to Zhang Xun's side, hugged Zhang Xun into his arms, stroked his back, and whispered: "We will definitely avenge this revenge!" But now, I can't afford to lose you anymore. ”
"Brother...... Brother ......" Zhang Xun's already dry eyes were once again drowned in tears.
At the end of the summer, Ji Zheng had followed the king of Yue to the capital Huiji, and recuperated here for more than two months, the injuries on his body have basically healed, but the injury on his right hand is too serious, and since then he has been disabled, and he can no longer use a sword, and he can't even use chopsticks to eat.
Early this morning, he got up early in the morning and came to the courtyard for morning exercise as usual, while Qingmen was already waiting in the courtyard.
"Mr. Ji, good morning." Qingmen saluted.
Ji Zheng ignored it, just held the sword in his left hand and waved it in the courtyard, Ji Zheng knew that Qingmen was sent by King Yue to spy on him.
"I'm going to send a letter." Ji Zheng said suddenly.
"Sir, I'm just afraid of ......" Qingmen was obviously very embarrassed, and he said: "The king confesses...... The affairs of the gentleman must be kept confidential...... So, please wait a minute. ”
Ji Zheng snorted contemptuously and didn't say anything more, in fact, he didn't know how to write this letter and who to write it to. As for the future, he didn't think about it at all.
Qingmen saw that Ji Zheng ignored him, so he sat aside and watched Ji Zheng practice his sword.
After a long time, Qingmen said: "Mr. Ji, I don't think it makes much sense for you to practice like this. ”
Ji Zheng put away his sword, turned his back to Qingmen and said, "Then what? ”
"Although Mr.'s left hand has enough strength, but after all, it is not flexible enough, even if you practice for a few more years, you can't recover to your original combat power, Sir, it is better to use a dagger, the dagger is light and sensitive, which can just make up for the lack of Mr.'s left hand."
"Dagger ......" Ji Zheng pulled out the moon blade from his waist and put it in his hand to look at it, this was the last relic left by Hana, and for a while memories came to his heart again.
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock at the door.
Aoto got up and opened the door, and there were two people standing outside the door, and these two people came to visit Ji Zheng with large bags of gifts.
Ji Zheng looked out, first startled, and then smiled contemptuously.
"Mr. Ji! Li Zida is polite! ”
"Mr. Ji! I'm Li Shi, hehe, are you healed? ”
Ji Zheng leaned sideways, didn't look at the two of them, just said perfunctorily: "Well, it's better." ”
"Sir, we don't know each other, I have offended a lot before, and I hope that Mr. will not remember the villain."
Li Shi also saluted, "Hehe, yes, the villain really didn't know Mount Tai at that time, and offended Mr. Ji, hehe, don't hold a grudge, don't hold a grudge." ”
Ji Zheng shook his head and said, "The past doesn't need to be mentioned again." ”
"Mr. is really extraordinary, I admire it!"
"Admire! Admire! Li Shi also said with a hippie smile.
"My uncle and nephew have long wanted to visit Mr., but I heard that Mr. was seriously injured, and I didn't dare to come for fear of disturbing Mr. Yesterday I heard that Mr. was getting better, so I hurried to visit, and I hope Mr. will not blame."
"There is labor."
"I heard that the king wants to confer the position of general on Mr., but Mr. has never accepted it? Why is that? Mr. has just come to Yueguo, and he may not be familiar with it, but our king is really thirsty for talent, and love is like life! The reason why the king values Mr. so much is because he is so talented, and I think that Mr. should accept the position of general. ”
"Our king? Hehe, Li County Order, you are changing very quickly. ”
"Mr. laughed, I am also safe when I come, Juan Suming wants my life, and King Wu can't tolerate me, and our uncle and nephew staying in Wu will be a death. Besides, I can be regarded as helping our king, there is no merit and hard work, speaking of which, our king is really a virtuous lord! It's like a mountain of kindness to me, I'm now a lieutenant, and the management will be a county magistrate, which is much better than being a county magistrate in the small county town of Changyi. ”
"Hehe, congratulations to Master Li."
"Li has lived in Wu for half his life, and now he came to Yue to find that this Yue country is much stronger than Wu country, although it is now poor, but the monarchs and people of Yue country are united in their hearts and minds, and they are making great efforts, I am sure that it will not be long before Yue Guo will increase its national strength! Don't look at the people of Wu who spend all day drinking, they will be defeated by the king sooner or later. So, sir, listen to me, accept the position of general as soon as possible, lead the Yue ** team, and let's create a hegemony together! ”
Qingmen also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, what Li Zida said makes sense, Mr. should accept the position of general as soon as possible." ”
"Needless to say, I don't mean that for the time being." Ji Zheng decisively rejected the two.
Li Zida saw that Ji Zheng's attitude was firm, so he had to salute again: "Okay, sir, think about it again, I'll go back first, and Mr. have a good rest." ”
After saying that, Li Zida waved at Li Shi, and Li Shi hurriedly handed over the gift.
"These are the best supplements that the king asked me to bring to my husband, they are all good supplements to nourish the body, and the king specially sent someone to Qi to buy them, and I hope that Mr. will eat more, don't live up to the king's wishes, after all, these are all saved by the king's frugality."
"Frugal?" Ji Zheng looked at the gift, it was just some ginseng lingzhi, although it was precious, but it was not so much that the king of a country needed to be frugal.
Li Zida saw Ji Zheng's doubts, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, the king blames himself for his mistakes, the whole country is exempt from taxes for three years, and now, all the expenses of the imperial court are suppressed to a minimum, even the king and queen, the monthly ration is only five hundred copper coins, which is not much more than the average people." Hmph, King Wu's meal is enough for our king to spend half a year. The people felt sorry for the king, and asked for taxes, but the king resolutely refused to take it, he slept on the pile of firewood and grass, hung bitter gall on the beams of the house, and often tasted a mouthful, reminding himself to work hard, be angry, and strive to be strong, such a king will defeat the husband sooner or later! ”
"Alright, you guys go back, I want to rest." Ji Zheng interrupted Li Zidadao.
"Alright, sir, take a good rest, and we'll visit later."
After that, Li Zida left with Li Shi.
After the two left, Ji Zheng pondered for a long time, and said to Qingmen in a low voice: "I want to see King Yue." [This chapter was first published. Love. Yes. sound., remember the URL ()]
