The Battle of the Kingdoms Chapter 45 The First Entry into Handan

Late at night, the courtyard was in a mess, three dusty women were scattered in clothes, hugged each other and slept on the soft collapse in the courtyard, Wu Daoxuan also lay on the ground, staring blankly at the stars in the sky, his eyes were rare pure and peaceful. Wu Yong stood on the side, as if he wanted to see him through. Wu Daoxuan said faintly for a long time: "Have you ever despaired? ”

Wu Yong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Wu Daoxuan said: "You still don't know what it's like to be desperate. ”

Wu Daoxuan grabbed his hand at the sky and said, "Just like these stars, you know they are there, but you can't catch them." ”

"If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what were you going to do today?" Wu Daoxuan asked suddenly.

Wu Yong thought about it seriously: "I will be with my relatives and tell them that even if I die tomorrow, I will never leave." ”

"Loved ones... Hehe" Wu Daoxuan smiled bitterly. "It's been too long, it's a strange word."

Wu Yong said: "In fact, death is not terrible, if you can't live well because you are afraid of death, what is the difference between being dead and already dead." ”

Wu Yong looked at Wu Daoxuan seriously and said: "Even if you die tomorrow, you should leave something to this world, after all, you are not an ordinary person, you are a painting saint, you can't be so low." ”

Wu Daoxuan raised his hand impatiently, grabbed the void, Wu Yong involuntarily leaned in front of Wu Daoxuan, Wu Daoxuan carried a large jar of wine and poured it into Wu Yong's mouth, and said while pouring: "Call you so many words!! ”

A jar full of wine quickly bottomed out, and it didn't come out at all.

Wu Yong staggered to his feet, his eyes were red, and he said unconvinced: "You are..."

Before he finished speaking, he fell headlong and died of drunkenness.

Wu Daoxuan waved into the distance, another jar of wine fell into his hand, raised his head and drank it all, in a trance, Wu Daoxuan felt that his body became extremely light, and gradually flew towards the starry sky, the earth became small, and the sky became broad. The wind is whistling in the ears, the clouds are floating in the hands, and the body is invisible, dancing at will, incomparably free.

Just as Wu Daoxuan was cruising in the heavens and the earth, suddenly the starry sky was in chaos, countless stars fell like raindrops, dragging out white dazzling stars, and the earth under his feet also shook violently, countless volcanoes erupted at the same time, and the hot magma continued to shoot into the sky, the forest and river were destroyed in an instant, and the living beings were constantly fleeing, but there was nowhere to escape.

Eschatological!

Wu Daoxuan was in the void, opened his body, let the meteorite pass through, but he didn't feel a trace of pain, he cried out in despair, fell backwards, slammed it on the ground, pillowed his head on Wu Yong's lap, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Empty jars float eerily in the air.

Handan, adjacent to Xingcheng, the first Shang Dynasty built the capital of Xingcheng, Handan as the place of Jifu, has staged countless great dramas of fighting for power and profit, the noble families of all countries have set up houses here to settle down, although the Marquis of Jin changed the Tang Dynasty to call the Jin Dynasty after the center of gravity of power moved to Quwo, but this city because of the dense rich families from all over the world, it still has a unique position in the big cities of the countries. Qin and Jin have been at war for many days, but the northern cities on the border between Jin and Yan are obviously not affected, Xincheng, Shuocheng and other northern five cities are under the control of the Zhao valve of the Jin State, the area controlled by the Zhao valve is staggered with the Yan State, and there have been several mutual attacks in the early years, since the construction of the southern section of the Yan State Wanli National Wall was completed, the Zhao valve has never taken the initiative to attack, because it is really impossible to enter.

After the Bailuo caravan and his party left the Qin State, they had been marching in the north of the Jin State, and on this day the Bailuo caravan entered Handan.

Handan city wall is three zhang high, the north gate is the main gate, for the city to travel for the carriage and horses of the scholar class, the city gate of the remaining three directions is smaller, for ordinary residents to enter, the Bailuo caravan low-key from the west gate into the city, soon there are people in charge in the city to respond, the caravan is taken to Handan's house, because from the tribe brought back a lot of people's children, so the yard suddenly becomes lively and abnormal, children jump up and down in the yard, look around, see everything is fresh. If it weren't for Bai Luo's order that they were not allowed to go out on the street, this group of little skin monkeys would have rushed out into the Huahua World a long time ago.

Since he and Wu Yong disappeared by Zhang Yi, Wu Ye has been paying attention to the news of his brother, but he has never found any clues, the vision on the river that night seems to be similar to the scene of capturing his father, and it is the Qin soldiers who fell out of the void, all these signs point to the Qin State, but with his current ability, it is impossible to go to the Qin State to investigate the matter, so he can only give up.

In addition, Wu Ye believes that Wu Yong has not had an accident, because he has always had a feeling that Wu Yong is safe now, this feeling is not his own psychological comfort, but a real feeling, the exercises that the wise man passed on to the two brothers last time, in addition to improving their combat power, also established some kind of connection between the two brothers, although this connection is very weak, but it does make them feel each other's existence, Wu Ye believes that when Wu Yong is really in danger, he will feel it, and now there is no such warning, It shows that Wu Yong is safe, and it won't help to worry too much, it's better to go with the flow, and the brothers will eventually meet again.

The station of the Bai nationality in Handan did not choose the north of the city where the famous families gathered, but chose the southwest urban area close to the ordinary houses, the station went south through two streets to the bottom of the mixed civilian residential area, compared to the courtyard in the north of the city, the Zhu door was closed, the south of the city was full of people, shoulder to shoulder, all kinds of business stalls were dazzling, the ironware of the Qin State, the clothing of the Qi State, and the furniture of the Chu State could be found in this bustling street, and the signboards poked out of the flagpole and pavilion were varied, reflecting the characteristics of various industries. Hanging an old wooden plank, is to sell the ancient wooden furniture of the Chu State, the five-color ribbon hangs from the second floor, the door face is decorated with thousands of purples and thousands of reds, is to sell the fine silk of the Qi country. Wu Ye walked casually in it, secretly sighing in his heart the prosperity of Handan City, and further down, there was a stall selling meat vegetables, Wu Ye passed by a meat stall, on which there was a newly killed half of a pig and a pig's head, a pig's heart, and the like. The butcher standing behind the stall was unusually burly, his upper body was naked, the layers of fat were shining with the oil accumulated over the years, and the white skin was not known whether it was the pig's blood dyed when killing the pig or the natural red emitted from the inside out, as the bone chopping knife flew up and down, the fat also trembled, Wu Ye smiled in his heart: If you don't look carefully, you think that the remaining half of the pig is hanging on the butcher's body.

When Wu Ye was still thinking about this funny scene, there was a noise in the distance of the street, and a movement of people on their backs rushed to this side, Wu Ye saw a carriage crashing out of a passage in the crowded crowd, two black tall horses raised their heads and neighed, and kicked away the crowd with their front hooves very arrogantly, and the groom sitting in front of the carriage raised his whip and pumped it towards the crowd who couldn't dodge, and cursed this group of untouchables in his mouth.

Wu Ye's brows furrowed slightly, he grew up in the army with his father since he was a child, and the people he saw everywhere had the direct and self-disciplined characteristics of a soldier, although there were also things that were brave and ruthless, but they were all battles of men's morale on the table, and there was no such thing as a fox and a tiger and a bully, maybe there were other armies, but in the battle of his father's martial arts, there was no long-sighted scholar who dared to rely on his family's background to run rampant in the army.

The few people sitting on this simple carriage without carriages were the descendants of a certain big clan in the north of the city, and the clothes and fabrics were obviously several grades better than the commoners, but there was still a big gap between them and the real masters of Zhong Ming Dingshi, it was precisely such a group of people who preferred to arrogantly show their wealth in front of the commoners.

The people who were driven to the side of the road dared not speak out, and the merchants were even more surprised, and there were not ten or eight carriages like this a day, and they were not afraid that they would bully others, but they would not come to patronize the business, and there was even a little schadenfreude in their hearts for the civilians who were driven aside.

The carriage was already loaded with a lot of purchased items, and several people were holding the package, looking at the civilians around with their heads bowed with arrogant expressions, their eyes full of disdain. The carriage stopped at a fairly spacious fabric shop in front of the door, and the owner of the cloth shop had already stood at the door to greet him, respectfully stretched out his hand to support the elderly family members who got off the carriage, and walked towards his own shop, followed by two family members, and the rest of the family members continued to sit in the carriage and wait, but in the face of the civilians coming and going, they still had a high-spirited expression.

The movement of the carriage had just subsided for a moment, and another greater movement came, and another load-carrying carriage almost galloped into the flow of people, and the people who hit it along the way turned on their backs without scruples, and stopped directly in the middle of the street. ”

"Meat sellers, we want all the crispy bones in our house today." After speaking, a subordinate threw a bag of knife coins to the butcher of the meat stall, his face full of anxiety.

The butcher flatteringly took the knife coin and put it under the case, and forced out a flattering smile. The family was stunned by this murderous smile, and said impatiently: "Don't smile at Ye with this face of dead pork, I want Ye to have nightmares at night." Hurry up and wrap the crispy bones for the master, use it urgently! ”

The butcher hurriedly lowered his head to collect the crispy bones on the stall, and prepared to wrap them up and give them to the anxious housekeeper.

At this time, the elderly family who had just entered the fabric shop also rushed over from the store, and shouted from a distance: "Don't move, I want all the meat!" Five or six young men rushed behind him.

The butcher held the oiled paper bag in his hand and didn't know what to do.

The family that came first sneered with horizontal eyes: "Yo, isn't this the great housekeeper of Song?" "Deliberately biting the word housekeeper very hard, if he really sits on the steward seat of the scholar's mansion, how can he personally go to the street to purchase, obviously laughing at the other party is still a hard-working errand boy at his age.
