Pine Fort is close to the Great Wall, the surrounding area is sparsely populated, most of the population lives in the castle, and there are five or six villages scattered near the castle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the eyes of modern people, the Great Wall is a symbol of ancient China's seclusion. However, in ancient times when the competition conditions were extremely harsh and the wars were continuous, there were very few times when the Great Wall was not needed in the land of China, and the Great Wall was undoubtedly redundant in the Tang Dynasty when there was no rival in the world and no enemies in the surrounding areas, and more often, China was simply unable to pacify the eternal captives.
Through the ages, the Hu soldiers succumbed to each other, and thousands of flesh and blood forged peace!
It is a pity that since Xuande, the northern captives have become more and more prosperous, and the large-scale construction of the Great Wall has not yet begun, the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty are leaking wind everywhere, and the suffering years of the border people have begun.
Because the border gate couldn't be closed, so throughout the autumn, a small group of Warat warriors came to meet Scarface and others from time to time, and the man in the cloak sent four more men to Scarface, Zhu Qiming's hope of escape became more and more slim.
What's worse is that Scarface didn't follow the cloaked man's orders, and still called Zhu Qiming as a servant. Moreover, perhaps because the border is close at hand and they have not been able to cross the border for a long time, the temper of the Warat people has become worse and worse, and their attitude has become worse and worse.
In the deep mountains and old forests, facing a group of fierce Warat people all day long, the best choice is to avoid carefully, do a good job as a small servant in the time that is dominated by others, and hide to the side to study and practice martial arts in the time at your disposal.
It wasn't until one day that Zhu Qiming's eyes left the "Warring States Policy" and inadvertently looked at the surrounding mountains and forests, only to find that there seemed to be obvious changes between heaven and earth, the yellowing autumn grass, the wild geese on the horizon, and the "boundless falling trees" that fell down, all indicating that the summer was over and the cold was coming.
The wild goose array going south touched the softest place in Zhu Qiming's heart, and his faint thoughts were like flowing clouds in the sky, slowly going south with the wind.
"Do you miss the capital?" Wang Kui sat down next to Zhu Qiming, and then lay on the ground, looking at the herringbone goose array in the air, with a little sadness in his eyes.
Zhu Qiming looked at Wang Kui beside him, and his mood was very complicated. From the disgust at first sight, to some sympathy later, and then to today's basic trust, Zhu Qiming's impression of Wang Kui is slowly changing. risked his life several times to protect himself, and the trust he gave at the beginning was also worth it.
A child like Zhu Qiming, in the midst of wolves, if he wants to survive, it is very important to have trustworthy people around him, and he must also invest in his true feelings and take care of that precious trust.
"I'm thinking about the past of the Royal Academy. Ouyang Changshi is not my master, but he often interprets the text for me and helps me grow. The same is true for Uncle Wang, if it weren't for Uncle Wang's teaching, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to recognize the words of "Zuo Chuan" and "Warring States Policy". Zhu Qiming said very sincerely, and the gratitude in his eyes was naturally revealed.
Wang Kui's eyebrows moved, his eyes shining, but his expression quickly dimmed. "I have a younger brother who, eight years ago, was only thirteen years old, and he was as smart as you in his studies, and the neighbors called him a prodigy."
"Presumably he has already been named on the gold list!" As soon as the words came out, Zhu Qiming regretted it, and he faintly felt that Wang Kui's misfortune probably stemmed from this.
Sure enough, the corners of Wang Kui's mouth twitched, and tears floated in his eyes, "Once, two gangs of ruffians in the capital gathered to fight, and a pair of mother and daughter passing by, the mother was killed by a flying knife on the spot, my brother happened to pass by, and when he saw the little girl crying, he couldn't help but say more, and ・・・・・・ "Speaking of this, Wang Kui couldn't cry.
Zhu Qiming put a hand on Wang Kui's arm.
Wang Kuiqiang held back his grief and continued: "Before my brother finished speaking, he was taken away, and three days later, someone found his body in the suburbs, which had been gnawed by wild dogs, and it was only by the clothes and accessories on his body that he could identify him. Wang Kui's weeping has stopped, but the tears have flowed into a river.
"It's just a bunch of ruffians, how can Shuntianfu ignore it!" Zhu Qiming said angrily.
Wang Kui shook his head slowly, "This brawl has killed and injured countless people, and it has also caused many passers-by, causing a sensation in the entire capital. However, after only a few days of investigation, the Shuntianfu could not continue to investigate, because the eldest son of an important member of the DPRK and Central Committee was involved behind the case. ”
"Who?"
"When the dynasty Yuanfu Yang Shiqi! Emperor Xuande didn't want to touch him back then, and now the young orthodox emperor won't touch him! ”
Zhu Qiming has heard of the evil deeds of Yang Shiqi's eldest son, thinking about Yang Shiqi is a representative figure of today's Taige style poetry and literature, with a very high reputation, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, if the Son of Heaven wants to move such a character, he must have many scruples. However, Zhu Qiming couldn't figure out why a master who had read the books of sages had such an unbearable son, and Yang Shiqi's act of protecting the calf had invisibly discounted the universal value of the holy word.
"I couldn't swallow this breath, so I went around complaining about my grievances, but unexpectedly I was killed, my parents, wife and children were forced to flee from other places, and my fate is still unknown, and I was chased and killed all the way until three years ago, when the Warats rescued me from the killer's knife." The tears on Wang Kui's face had dried, and his face looked extremely desolate and lonely.
Zhu Qiming said secretly: You are so lonely, it is because you did not go the right way, did not find the right person, read so many books, but you don't know the truth that everything is mutually reinforcing, and you don't make a fuss from Yang Shiqi's political enemies, you are really stupid!
Wang Kui smiled sadly, and his tone suddenly rose a few points inexplicably, "I originally wanted to rely on the Warat people to take revenge, but now it seems that this idea is really stupid!" In the past three years, I have helped the Warat people to do evil, although it is not my intention, but because of this, I have still borne the sins that I will not be able to wash away for the rest of my life, and in the end I will become a ghost under the sword of the Warat people, sad! ”
Zhu Qiming glanced at the Warat people not far away, and felt that Wang Kui's words must have some words floating into their ears. Sure enough, the Warats surrounded them with a fierce face.
"Who brought you together? I don't care about you! Scarface kicked Zhu Qiming over a few times.
Wang Kui roared angrily and flew up, but this time the Warat people really moved, and the five people flew into the air like a flock of birds, and after a short group attack, with the sound of bone cracking, Wang Kui fell down like a kite with a broken line.
A Warat warrior's foot stomped on Wang Kui's chest, and another sound of broken bones sounded, and red blood gushed down the corner of Wang Kui's mouth.
Four warriors in Han costumes gathered around, glanced at them coldly, and then shook their heads and left.
Zhu Qiming looked at the tragic situation in front of him in surprise, and ran towards Wang Kui involuntarily, and suddenly received a kick on the buttocks, this time it was rewarded to him by the guy who had been wounded by the arrow.
Rolling on the ground for a moment, holding his body with both hands, enduring many pains, looking back at Wang Kui's painful expression, he only felt that he was so small between heaven and earth, and the words "being a hero of the world" that he shouted at the beginning were just a sea mouth!
Scarface's cold voice sounded in his ears: "Go and boil water!" If you are not honest, let Wang Kui die! ”
Zhu Qiming wiped the blood stains mixed with dust at the corners of his mouth, emptied all the emotions in his heart, calmed himself, got up and limped towards the stove・・・・・・
In the vast twilight, after the Warat people had eaten and drunk enough, they relaxed their guard, and Zhu Qiming cautiously got into Wang Kui's yurt, put a bowl of water next to his head, and took out two pieces of barbecue meat from his arms.
"Uncle Wang, wake up. Why do you ask for death? It's not worth it! Zhu Qiming said in a low voice.
Wang Kui, who was asleep, woke up slowly, looking at the water bowl on the ground and the dried meat in Zhu Qiming's hands, the tears in his eyes were illuminated by the faint light cast by the bonfire.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The title has changed, and the tone is heart-wrenching.
