Chapter 943: The Prisoner (II)

ps: There is only one chapter tonight, and three more will be made up tomorrow

In the abandoned courtyard overgrown with artemisia grass, the former best friends of Pao Ze sat opposite each other, looking at each other speechlessly, and the governor almost didn't recognize that this was "Yu Rang", and in the end he provoked the topic first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Did you tell her I was dead?"

"I just said that you buried your bones on the shore of Shaoshui, so that your sister-in-law will remember it again."

"That's enough, so I don't have to worry about it, but she has to cry a lot, I'm really sorry for her." The person who called himself Yu Rang smiled, and seemed to be really relieved.

Du Qiu couldn't help it, so he asked: "Boqian, how did you survive when you were surrounded on all sides?" ”

"In the battle of Shaoshui, we failed to break through, were surrounded by regiments, and the lord was killed by an arrow, and before he died, I asked me to protect his head, and said that if I really can't keep it, I will use this head in exchange for a rich ...... How could I do that? So he killed all those who had scrambled for his head after the king's death, and placed him in a cave on the edge of the cliff. Zhao caught me, and Zhao Wuxian let me sacrifice my head in order to show his tolerance, and he released me. When I didn't comply, he imprisoned me......"

Yu Rang fell into a memory, when his entire right elbow was broken, and although the bleeding stopped, the wound was not good, and blood and thick juice continued to ooze, and it hurt hotly. Even if Zhao Wuxian asked the Lingque healer to treat him, sealed the wound with fire, applied medicine, and firmly tied it with a linen bandage, but every night, Yu Rang could still feel the stinging pain of Yan Miao's licking arm, and felt that his fingers that no longer existed withered in the flames.

Later, his right eye was so swollen that he couldn't open it, and the flesh around his arm had deteriorated and had to be removed, and the most thoughtful way was to amputate the arm entirely......

On the day of the amputation, Yu let the screams of pain resound throughout the barracks, and when everything was over, he only saved his upper arm, and since then he can only live on his left hand.

"A swordsman who has lost his right hand is no different from a wasted man, you may not imagine that his left hand will be so useless, and when he holds the sword, he almost inserts it into his thigh, and all my kung fu is wasted. So I didn't lie, and from that day on, the original Yu Rang died, and he lived by the sword, and died by the sword. ”

"As for the piece of flesh and blood in front of you, it is called to be a prisoner, not a concession."

"But you're not dead, you're still here, thinking about your wife, and sending a message to me to find her and save her." When the two worked together in the Zhi clan, Yu Rang had saved the life of the governor more than once, they were irreversible friends, and the first thing Yu Rang thought of was himself, which made the governor very proud.

But he still couldn't understand why Yu Rang disappeared for so long, and he was so determined to his wife who had been waiting for him for five years.

"Boqian, since you don't die in Shaoshui, you should go home and take your wife away and fly away, but what have you been doing all these years, why haven't you heard from you?"

"I have things to do." Yu Rang sighed.

Yu Rang's family ancestors were all retainers of the Fan family, and he was unable to choose his own fate from birth, and from the day his fathers thought that Yu Rang was old enough to hold a sword, they began to train him to fight and fight for the head of the family. Yu Rang understood the identity of his retainers, and never disgraced them, but he paid loyalty, but did not get respect in return, Fan and the second secretary of the Bank of China who served successively treated him like a dog and a horse, and Yu Rang also regarded him as a passerby, so he would not give his precious loyalty to such a person.

At that time, he had neither land nor wealth...... With only a sword by his side, in short, his life was very miserable, first he was selected as an assassin, and after a failed assassination, he was left out in the cold, thrown to the border to fend for himself, fought hard with Rong Di, and when he was not fighting, he drank and had fun, drunk and dreamed of death.

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, a few people fought in ancient times, and his life was written with blood and turbid wine.

It wasn't until he joined Zhiyao that this situation changed, and finally there was a lord who recognized him and trusted him.

Yu let the loyalty serve, feel the pride brought by it; He lived a prosperous life, married a wife of his choice, fought the battlefield, and drew joy from his victories. But it all ended in the Battle of Changping, Zhiyao died, died under the betrayal of a conspiracy, and from then on Yu Rang became an ownerless dog and horse again, and it was no longer loyalty and glory that drove him forward, but hatred.

The hatred of the king's death and humiliation is the food that nourishes him to live with his stump and broken arm, and it is the fuel that keeps the fire of his life burning. He expected to kill the enemy, and seeing the enemy's blood stained on his sword, Zhao Wuxian, Wei Manduo, Wei Ju, Han Hu, in Yu Rang's opinion, these people all deserved to die.

"The soldier dies for the confidant, the woman is the one who says herself, the gentleman knows me, I will avenge it, in order to repay the kindness of the confidant, even if the body dies, the soul goes to Huangquan to see him, and you can be ashamed."

……

The governor bowed his head a little ashamedly: "I am also a minister of the Zhi clan, and I am far inferior to Bo Qian in the matter of loyalty to the king." ”

Yu Rang smiled bitterly: "Easier said than done, I've tried once, but I still can't kill Zhao Wuxian, this person is very suspicious, and for some reason, he is extra vigilant when he hears my name." In addition, after breaking my right hand, my ability was not as good as before, so I was not successful. ”

"You assassinated him when you were caught, and the Zhao family hasn't killed you yet!?" The Governor was a little surprised.

When Yu Rang talked about Zhao Wuxian, he had no more gnashing of teeth towards the enemy, after all, Zhao Wuxian saved him from the tragic death of a festering wound, and this debt and hatred were entangled, which became extremely complicated.

He said calmly: "After I recovered from my injuries, Zhao Wuxian came to see me, and he said that I had assassinated him in Taoqiu, and I couldn't do it again, so this time, I can't be let go too easily......"

"He took off the big coat he was draping over his body, threw it in front of me, and gave me two options."

"First, if you pierce this big piece, you will be deemed to have assassinated him, and then you will kill yourself, which can be regarded as an explanation to the lord."

"Second, he gave me a chance, he took me into Xinjiang and assassinated Wei Mando on an oath......"

The governor was stunned: "But there was no assassination on the oath that year......"

"Because I refused, I am willing to stab Wei, but I will do it by my own strength, instead of becoming a pawn in Zhao Wuxian's hands."

Then Zhao ...... Released you? ”

"Yes, I didn't hit my clothes when I left, because I said that if I didn't die, I would still come back and try to get his head from Zhao Wuxian."

Du Qiu swallowed nervously, and dared to say this, "How did Zhao Qing react at that time?" ”

"He said, "The wrath of Hou Bo, the corpses of one hundred thousand, the blood is drifting; The husband was angry, the blood was splashed in five steps, and the world was silent. He respects me as a righteous man and believes that I am a man who can do what he says, but when the time comes, he will no longer show mercy to his subordinates......"

"Then you want to ...... Kill Wei Qing? "Du Qiu can be regarded as understanding the true purpose of Yu Rang.

"However, although the Zhao clan and the Han clan participated in the battle to besiege and kill the lord, only the repeated villain Wei clan is the most hateful, since it is difficult to assassinate Zhao, I decided to kill them ......"

"That's why you're self-harming to this extent......"

Yu Rang in the memory of the governor was very different from what he was now, he was tall and straight, with a large and square head, sharp and shrewd eyes, and a thick chin covered with short beards. At that time, he was in the prime of life, and he was born a warrior.

But now, he has completely lost his former appearance, as if he has taken off his skin. He painted himself with lacquer, turned himself into an ugly man covered in leprosy, and swallowed coals of fire to mute his voice.

When they met him in the market, his wife didn't recognize him. If it weren't for Yu Rang taking the initiative to find out his identity, he wouldn't have been able to recognize it. He deceived his best friend and wife, and Wei, who only had a one-sided relationship with him, was even more unrecognizable.

Du Qiu sighed: "With your talents, if you take refuge in the Wei family, you will definitely become a cronie, and then you will do whatever you want, isn't it easy?" Why bother to mutilate yourself to this? The cost of trying to get revenge in this way is too great! Even if you succeed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out. ”

"If I am committed to the despicable Wei clan as a minister, I am going against my original intention, becoming someone else's courtier and then trying to assassinate the head of the family, I am having two hearts. I'm like this now, and the chances of an assassination success are slim to none. But everything I did, I relied on my own ability to do it, little by little to get close to Wei Mando's palace, little by little to make the vigilance of others disappear, and now I finally have a chance. At least I didn't become a pawn of the Zhao family, I was worthy of the spirit of the lord in the sky, and I was worthy of my own heart. ”

"What's more, how can you succeed without the belief that you will die?"

He raised his empty sleeve and said: "I have no right hand, no left hand, no sword, and no dagger, even if all this is gone, I can still bite with my mouth and hit with my head!" I will definitely use my own heart and ability to obtain what I want! ”

At this point, Yu Rang didn't say anything more, and got up to leave.

Du Qiu knew that Yu Rang appeared this time, but he was afraid that he would say goodbye, so he bowed to the ground and looked at Yu Rang three times: "My brother is incompetent, I can't follow the king into the Wei Palace to assassinate, I will definitely escort my sister-in-law to a safe place, and then go west to kill myself, accompany you to Huangquan to see the lord, erect a flag to recruit the old department, and fight a piece of mountains and rivers there!" ”

"I'll wait for you." Yu Rang has already come to the door, and when he leaves this door, he is no longer Yu Boqian, but a prisoner who paints toilets in the Wei Palace.

"Explore the tiger's den and enter the Jiao Palace, look up to the sky and breathe into a white rainbow ......" Before the door was closed, Yu Rang also heard the sound of the knotting song behind him, and it was the governor who was seeing him off.

After the door closed, the sharp eyes disappeared, and the muddy and dazed prisoner returned to his original state.

But in the crowded alleys, he couldn't help but touch the dagger hidden in his sleeve with his swollen fingers, and his left hand had become extremely flexible after five years of practice.

"In the end, I became an assassin."

His voice was soft, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him.

"But I will return justice to the lord in my own way."

He whispered, "I will warn with vengeance those who have made a bloody alliance and broken their promises...... The retribution of good and evil is everywhere! ”
