Chapter Twenty-Three: A Young Man Who Doesn't Know That He Is About to Die

After returning from Su Yue, Jian Chen was really a little drunk. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Listened to a lot of past stories, and did a bad thing to cut off people's descendants, to say that there is no fluctuation in the heart is impossible, I wanted to find some excuses to convince myself of the meaning of doing this by being drunk in order to feel at ease, but after thinking for a long time, I gave up this practice of setting up the archway.

Including all the people in Xia City, he couldn't tell him that once the Pandora's box of this kind of political assassination was opened, it was likely that one day it would be his turn.

Returning to the room drunk, several people came around and said, "Chief, many people came to look for you today, so we directly said that you went to the head of Suyue." The winter solstice is coming soon, do you want to stay tomorrow and communicate with the rest of the leaders? ”

Jian Chen didn't answer directly, but asked, "Except for these people, do people outside talk about our city?" ”

Speaking of this, those people said with their eyebrows fluttering: "Yes, I don't know how many praises I have heard outside today." Yesterday, when I sent them away, many people asked when they would be back. You let the storytellers tell the story halfway through and leave, and everyone is looking forward to hearing the rest of the story. ”

Jian Chen smiled: "Although this is the case, it is not enough, let Xia Cheng be the protagonist of everyone's conversation tomorrow." Feed the horses tonight, and don't stay in the city tomorrow to go out hunting. You go to Suyue and borrow some good dogs, and go out tomorrow. ”

"Hunting? How do you get everyone talking about hunting? ”

Jian Chen smiled but did not answer, drank some water and fell asleep. Early the next morning, many leaders knew that the people of Xia Cheng were going out to hunt, which was unusual, at this time, most of the leaders were secretly swearing to each other for the benefit of the city, and Xia Cheng didn't seem to care about it from the beginning of its appearance, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Jian and Su Yue had a day of drinking and feasting yesterday, these people even thought that Xia Cheng didn't care about the alliance.

A group of greyhounds howled at the door, and a young man about the same age as Jian Chen walked in and said: "Thank you Ji Xia for the utensils that I gave to my father yesterday, these dogs are the best hunting dogs, and I use them to hunt the most on weekdays, I wish Ji Xia to return with prey full." ”

That being said, it must be the son of Su Yue, and he seems to be a very strong person, and he is also very kind to others, and he does not have the arrogance of being the son of the chief, and he is extremely decent.

It's just that his eyes purr around the horses drawn out by the people of Xia Cheng, how could Jian Chen not know his thoughts, and after a while, the son of Su Yue said enviously: "Shooting and hunting on weekdays, leading Huang Qingcang, but it is still much worse than these horses in Xia City." In the military formation, the role of the war horse must be great, and when shooting and hunting, it is also in the practice of the military formation, and when the enemy fights, if there are thousands of people riding around the enemy's flank, they can be three or five times the enemy. ”

Jian Chen smiled: "This horse is not worth anything, and you can afford to give ten or eight horses." It's just that if you can't ride a horse, it's easy to get hurt, and I won't be able to explain it to your father when the time comes. People have always been like this, for example, if you don't learn to swim and are drowned, your relatives will accuse the god of water, so how can they blame you for not learning to swim? ”

The son of Su Yue nodded and said, "What Ji Xia said is very right, but in my opinion, it is different. No one in Aesa City knows how to swim, and if I am the first to go into the water, half will drown and half will not die. Drowning is nothing more than meeting with your ancestors, but if you can't drown, then I will be the first person in Sucheng to learn to swim, and the rest of you must take me as a teacher if you want to learn. I'll go and ask my father, but I don't know if Ji Xia is willing to teach me how to swim? ”

"Xiacheng Middle School rode horses, the short-legged ones were twenty, the ones with broken arms were thirty, and some people were trampled to death by horses. Thou art the son of a prince, and thy father is very considerate of thee, and thou shalt not be afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid. Life is only a few decades. What is the difference between living 20 years and living 50 years without making great achievements? My father became the leader, traveled for ten years, and bled several times, so that he was praised and convinced by everyone, and only then did he have a beautiful life. To be a son is like a father, so that the inheritance of blood is not in vain, only in the beauty of food and clothing, and the beauty of the pillow is like, isn't it like a monkey who wants to become a human being, does not learn human words and work, but only wears human clothes? ”

Jian Chen sighed and praised: "The tiger father has no dogs." Anyway, today's snow is fine, and all kinds of beasts are foraging, so you can say to your father, go hunting with me, and take me to see the big river by the way. ”

Su Yue's son said happily: "Ji Xia is willing to teach me?" ”

Jian Chen shook his head and joked: "It's so cold this day, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to teach you to swim, right?" Hahahaha......"

The two of them laughed, and Chen Jian also learned the name of the young man who would be poisoned by him in a few decades: Su Tang.

It was about the time when her mother was taking a bath before she gave birth to him, so it was common for her to have such a name, but in just a few words of conversation, the young man's sharp gaze was revealed.

Asked Su Tang to go back and pack up his bow and arrows and find his entourage first, Chen Jian returned to the room, asked someone to fetch a large jar of gunpowder, pressed it tightly and put it in the room, drew out a slow-burning fire rope, and lit it.

"Ji Xia, what is this going to do?"

"If you make a little noise, you can only see a lot of things with your own eyes and realize that they are not the same as you imagined. These chiefs have heard too many stories of gunpowder but have not seen them with their own eyes, and I have to let them see them. There is not much gunpowder, and even if it is blown up, this hut will be blown up, and you should not make a noise, who wants to say anything about it. ”

"Got it. With such a sound, I'm afraid that these people will talk about our summer city for a long time. ”

"Let them talk hard before they meet. The more you talk about it, the better. Xia Cheng is still too new to them, so they can remember us faster and more deeply. ”

After hiding the gunpowder jar, Jian Chen picked up a bow, withdrew from the yard, and used a branch to stick it in the fence door, which was considered a lock.

The lock is only against the gentleman, not against the villain, and there is no lock at this time, a wooden stick is enough to make people understand that the owner is not there. It's not that in ancient times, everyone was a sage who didn't close their doors at night, but because there was no difference between closing and not closing at this time.

After the city gate and Su Tang reconciled, Chen Jian let a few horses go, and led Su Tang to take a few people up to ride, riding a cow, walking slowly, but also able to move forward and backward, nothing more than the legs did not know how to clamp and did not know how to move the hips up and down with the bumps of the horse.

"Where is Ji Xia going to shoot? There is a valley over there, and there are many wild animals such as wild boars and deer. ”

"Tang, how do you shoot on weekdays?"

"Someone drove away, and I led them to lay in ambush, and the beasts that were not sure to choose their way would be within range of their bows and arrows. Ji Xia has both war horses, which is much simpler, in the past, hunting the valley that required a hundred people to surround it, with a war horse, only thirty or fifty people were needed. Presumably in the battle array, Ji Xia also used it like this, right? ”

"The battle formation is nothing more than a kind of hunting. Now that you're familiar with the terrain, go hunting. After hunting, go to the big river to see the waves, but what is dangerous and strange? ”

"Not really. The terrain here is flat, the mountain peaks are rare, and the large river is wide and you can't see the opposite bank, and it is very stable. When I see it for the first time, I will always appreciate a few words of magnificence, and it will be boring if I see more. I often hear people say that the sea that the Dongyi tribe can see is broader than the big river, but I hope that one day our relatives can hold the flag to see the sea, and meet on the seaside to worship the ancestors, that is the real scenery. ”

Jian Chen smiled: "Okay, if you are ambitious, your father will be pleased to know your thoughts." You have seen too much of the river to feel its magnificence, but I have only grown up by the river since I was a child, and the ordinary in your eyes is still magnificent in my eyes, so please take me to see it. ”

Su Tang nodded and followed Jian Chen's right, kept asking about some details about the use of horses, guessed the use of the battlefield according to his own speculation, and asked about some chariots and other things, and Jian Chen also answered them one by one.

It was a mysterious, at least for now, the young man was positive, not too much of a stain, tenacious, unyielding, eager for merit, ambitious, in short, a perfect young man in the early days of slavery by the moral yardstick of the slave owner.

Chen Jian had just prepared for him a painful death and the possibility of an heir a day earlier, but today they were talking and laughing together, and the filth of politicians was like those ashes on the snow, which could not be removed. (To be continued.) )
