Chapter Seventy-Four: The Lonely Sword
Qin Leiyun looked at Huangfu Zhanwen lightly.
The temperature in the house dropped suddenly.
Huangfu Zhanwen's face changed gloomy, the hand on the sword on his waist tightened and loosened, after all, he still didn't have the strength to draw the sword, and finally said in a muffled voice: "Your Highness, do you have to go that far?" ”
With a faint mockery on the corner of his mouth, Qin Lei sneered: "Good question, this is also the question I want to ask you." ”
Without waiting for Huangfu Zhanwen to answer, Qin Lei said endlessly: "I know that your heart is not on the prince's side. ”
Heart-wrenching words.
Qin Lei waved his hand to stop Huangfu Zhanwen's argument, and said a little seriously: "I'm not interested in knowing who you are, really." ”
Huangfu Zhanwen was completely speechless. Silently waiting for Qin Lei's next words.
Qin Lei looked at him and said lightly: "Because in my opinion, this is a trivial matter." ”
He put the paperweight on the table, and the crisp sound frightened the distracted Emperor Fu Zhanwen.
When he came back to his senses, he looked at Qin Lei again, and found that he was staring at him coldly, and his eyes, which had always been very gentle, were shining with a clear light. It's like the eyes of the steppe wolf king, with disdain in deterrence.
Huangfu Zhanwen saw destruction in those eyes. It's like pinching a bug to death. His Adam's apple trembled, and he felt some sweat on his back.
Qin Lei rubbed the paperweight expressionlessly, and his voice was cold and emotionless: "I am not the same person as the crown prince, you can also choose your position against me once." Either friends or enemies. How is General Huangfu going to choose? ”
Huangfu Zhanwen avoided Qin Lei's eyes and lowered his head without speaking. I felt like my back was soaking wet. It was blown by the wind in the hall, and it was cold. No matter how much the yang and the yin continue, this eccentric highness will definitely not let himself go. But he had no other choice, and the other party's status as a prince made him shrink. Besides, the other party also has Zhong Likan and his own hundred-man guard, a total of five hundred, if you want to put him under house arrest quietly, it is impossible.
Qin Lei sighed in his heart, if he didn't have the identity of this prince, no matter how threatening he was, I am afraid that he would not make this general bow his head. Guantao is right, only those who follow the rules will win. If you don't treat yourself as a prince, how can you expect others to treat you as a prince?
He also knew that it was too much, Qin Lei turned his head to the sky, let him go, and muttered: "On the school field today, I have released enough kindness. You don't need to reciprocate loyalty, you don't need your sacrifice, you don't even need your trust. ”
Huangfu Zhanwen raised his head sharply and met Qin Lei's starry eyes. Qin Lei looked at him softly, and said with a smile: "I know that you were not a falsifier at that time, and my promise to you was not a falsification. I'll help you get back on the battlefield. Can you believe it? ”
Huangfu Zhanwen nodded.
Qin Lei gently put the paperweight back in its place, and said softly: "In return, I only need your obedience during this time, is it okay?" ”
Huangfu Zhanwen finally couldn't support it anymore and fell to his knees. Untied the sword at his waist and dedicated his hands to Qin Lei.
Qin Lei smiled, and Shen Qing stepped forward to take the sword. Untying the sword and kneeling is the meaning of surrender.
Qin Lei asked Shen Qing, "How are those people drinking?" ”
Shen Qing lowered his head and replied: "Back to Your Highness, when your subordinates came out, most of them had already drunk too much. ”
Qin Lei nodded, and said to Huangfu Zhanwen, who was kneeling on the ground: "I kept the few who weren't late this morning for a meal." Later you will bring them back to the camp. Remember, be sure to let the slapped board see. You don't need to tell you what to do next, right? Go ahead. ”
Huangfu Zhanwen took the order and left.
Seeing Huangfu Zhanwen walking away, Shen Qing handed his saber to Qin Lei to play with. Qin Lei touched the antique scabbard, and as soon as he pressed the machine spring, a long sword like autumn water came out of its sheath, trembling and moaning slightly in the air.
Shen Qing only noticed that Qin Lei's hands were a little trembling at this time.
He originally wanted to ask, "Your Highness, are you afraid?" "For some reason, I didn't dare to say it.
Qin Lei didn't let him go, moved his gaze from the sword to his face, and said with bared teeth: "Shen Qing, are you a little afraid of me?" Isn't it?"
Shen Qing was silent.
Qin Lei's hand regained stability, and he retracted the long sword 'click' and placed it on the table. chuckled: "You and Huangfu Zhanwen are both honest people, not good at hypocrisy, and will not hide their emotions. Then he said a little lonely: "Go and ask Shen Bing how the trial is." ”
Shen Qing took the order and left.
Qin Lei looked at the lonely long sword on the table and smiled self-deprecatingly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The brethren of the prince's guard were a little angry, and the general sent an order yesterday that they should sleep peacefully this morning and ignore the drumming of the assembly. But it is said that some people still ran away without opening their eyes, and let the new Fifth Highness grasp the life-saving straw, and the result was that the brothers of the guards each had to receive five military sticks.
The brethren of the guard had no complaints against the general, after all, the usual people were there. According to the general's personal soldiers, the generals all knelt down to the Five Highnesses, and only then did they descend from the twenty military sticks to the current five army sticks.
The guards didn't dare to complain about the Fifth Highness, who was that? That's His Royal Highness the Prince, don't say that people are reasonable, it's unreasonable, they have to laugh and laugh. Who calls someone His Highness?
But the anger always had to be vented, and all the anger was concentrated on the two hundred traitors this morning. Why do we go to the banquet with the board?
Nearly 5,000 sergeants, divided into 50 teams, in groups of 100 people, lay down in front of the gate, took off their trousers, and exposed a hundred fat and thin buttocks that were either snow-white, or dark, or orange-yellow. A hundred soldiers stepped forward to hold down the backs of these pantsless soldiers, and another hundred soldiers stepped forward and raised their dark military sticks and smashed them down with a roar.
The five military sticks are not light, and they are not heavy. If you have a good relationship with the soldiers who executed you, you will be hastily dealt with. If there is some dirt between each other on weekdays, it must be a stick into the meat, and after the five sticks are beaten, the skin will be open and the flesh will be opened, and the tendons and bones will be broken at the worst. The heart of the queue behind is shocking, if you find that there has been a conflict with the execution of the pro-soldiers, you have to beg your grandfather to beg the person next to you to change his seat.
For a while, there was really crying and wailing in the sky above the camp, shouting and scolding the father and mother. Whether it was beaten, beaten, or waiting to be beaten, they all held back the fire. Especially when I saw the two hundred drunken traitors, staggering in from outside the gate with big bags and small bags. This resentment has finally reached its peak. Of course, in broad daylight, they don't dare to give birth to what is wrong.
These 50 groups of military sticks were beaten from the beginning of the hour to noon, and the execution of the pro-soldiers changed several times, and the military sticks were broken by several hundred.
Until the evening, when the lights were turned on, the wails and curses could be heard coming from the tent. It wasn't until the rod urging the lights out sounded that the sound gradually subsided.
But in the darkness, some restless figures scurried between the tents. It didn't take much time to gather a few hundred people and pounce on the northeast corner of the camp with great momentum.
All this fell under the eyes of several black-clothed people hidden in the dark, one of whom bent on his waist and disappeared lightly into the night, passing the news to the Chinese army's big tent.
Behind the curtain of the big tent, Qin Lei, the fifth prince of Great Qin, and Huangfu Zhanwen, the general of the crown prince guard, were dressed in civilian clothes, sitting at a small table and drinking wine. Hearing the guard's report, Huangfu Zhanwen was about to get up, Qin Lei shook his head and said to Huangfu Zhanwen: "Go after a stick of incense." ”
Huangfu Zhanwen had no choice but to sit down again. Qin Lei clinked glasses with him with the wine cup, and it took him a long time to react, he pinched the wine cup in a daze, touched it with Qin Lei, and drank it into his stomach in one gulp. laughed at himself: "I am too negligent in discipline on weekdays, and I am so lawless, which is a joke for His Highness." ”
Seeing him like this, Qin Lei knew that all these years of peaceful life had indeed lost the courage of this tiger. Wen Sheng said: "Brother Huangfu, don't be impatient, the prince's guard has accumulated a lot of difficulties, and the only way to do it is to break it and then stand up, and then rule after chaos." ”
Huangfu Zhanwen also realized his gaffe, he remembered the year, and said: "Ten years ago, when the last general was still a captain of the forbidden army, there was a clan fight in the military camp, in order to calm the situation, I personally took thirteen heads, and the blood stained the battle robes red, but there was no trace of nervousness. ”
After speaking, there was a sigh, and its meaning was self-evident.
At this time, Huangfu Zhanwen's personal soldiers rushed into the tent and said anxiously: "The general is not good, there is a fight in the northeast camp." ”
Huangfu Zhanwen's face sank, and he reprimanded angrily: "Be calm, how can I teach you." As he spoke, he looked at Qin Lei, who bowed slightly. He got up and saluted Qin Lei and said, "Your Highness, sit down for a while, and Zhan Wen will go back when he goes." Then he turned and departed.
