Chapter 143: Swallowing Flesh and Standing Might

Things in the world are often like this, and inadvertently, some ill-intentioned little people can both achieve and bad things. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lai Xing'er had no idea of the various efforts made by the two factions in the Daming Palace around his life and death when he was escorted back to Beijing. In his opinion, how to break the marriage contract with Jinping at present, how to persuade Jiang Zhongshi to leave him, so as not to be involved by him, and even through what channels can he entrust the little white dragon who returned to Beijing with him to a reliable person to take care of, is the most important thing.

Jiang Zhongshi and Lai Xing'er were imprisoned in the cell of Dali Temple, but they were not interrogated many times like Lai Xing'er, and spent their days in the cell bored, and after three days, it was as if three months had passed.

Finally, in the afternoon of the third day, Lai Xing'er, who had been arraigned again, was happily escorted back to his cell.

Jiang Zhongshi hurriedly walked to Lai Xing'er, carefully looked at his whole body, and when he confirmed that Lai Xing'er had not been punished or injured, Fang relieved his mind and asked Lai Xing'er in a rough voice: "General, let's stay like this in this cell, when will we be considered a head?" It's been suffocating me for the past two days. ”

Lai Xing'er looked at this brother who had only known him for more than ten days, but was willing to share the hardships with him, and pretended to complain: "When I was in Puzhou, I advised you not to go back to Beijing with me. ”

Jiang Zhongshi was most afraid that Lai Xing'er would drive him away, and when he heard Lai Xing'er say this, he hurriedly helped Lai Xing'er to sit down on the ground near the window, and turned his anger into a smile: "I told the general a long time ago, I will follow you in this life, if the general wants to drive me away, please kill me first." ”

Lai Xing'er was amused by his funny expression of flickering joy and annoyance, pointed at Jiang Zhongshi with his hand, and sighed: "You, remember in the future, you don't have to call me a general anymore, it is better for us to be called brothers." I'm a person who treats crimes, what way out can you follow me, drive me to the hall and understand the old men of Dali Temple, just say that you have nothing to do with what I have committed, and beg them to let you out as soon as possible, so as to save you from staying here and being depressed. Besides, the prince who has a good guard refuses to do it, and follows me as a little captain, you don't think that I will have the day when the salted fish turns over in the future, right? ”

Salted fish turned over is a word that Lai Xing'er learned from Jiangzhongshi's mouth when chatting two days ago, and it feels very appropriate and natural to say it at this time.

"You, don't drive me away again. To put it bluntly, since I was arrested in my hometown, I have never seen a commander like you, in order to seek justice for the people I don't know, I actually killed two of my sergeants one after another, and that formation, even the general can't compare to you. Although I have never read a book, I have heard from the village gentleman since I was a child that only two people have done such a thing in more than 100 years since the beginning of this dynasty. Jiang Zhongshi was the least amused, and when he heard that Xing'er was going to go by himself again, he was anxious, and he couldn't help but talk about it.

"Oh? Do you know any more? Although Lai Xing'er felt that he praised himself and exaggerated, it was the first time he heard someone say that someone had done something similar to him in the past, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Tell me, which two people have done something similar to my sword killing murderer in Songtai Village?" ”

Jiang Zhongshi saw that Lai Xing'er hadn't heard of the people and things he had just mentioned, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud, sat down next to Lai Xing'er, and described to Lai Xing'er one by one with his fingers: "This one is Xu Guogong before Taizong's drive, I heard the gentleman in the village say that he led the army to run thousands of miles and capture the Turkic emperor alive, as if he was not called the emperor, what is it called?" ”

"It's not the emperor, it's Shan Yu. Let's go on, what's wrong with Xu Guogong? Lai Xing'er heard that he actually compared himself to the founding father, and his heart pounded with excitement.

"Speaking of which, after capturing the Turkic Shan Yu alive, he led the army to return to the dynasty with a victorious division." Jiang Zhong Shi saw that Lai Xing'er looked at him with bright eyes, listened very attentively, and became proud for a while, and spoke in great detail, as if he was on the scene, "When the army was about to leave the Turkic territory, it suddenly encountered heavy snow and hail, and the army under the command of Xu Guogong was trapped in a mountain pass for several days, unable to advance. Gradually, the grain and grass brought by the army were exhausted, and Xu Guogong had no choice but to order the sergeant to slaughter the war horse he was riding, and eat raw horse meat to survive.....

Jiang Zhongshi's eloquence is extremely limited, and his narration is far from vivid, but when he talks about the officials and soldiers under the command of Xu Guogong who rely on indiscriminate killing of children and eating human flesh to satisfy hunger, Lai Xing'er subconsciously clenched his fists, and his eyes were almost on fire.

"After Xu Guogong found out about this, he didn't say a word, he personally cut off the heads of several murderers one by one, and gathered the generals in the camp, and swallowed two pieces of human flesh cut from the killers in public, and ordered the generals that everyone must swallow two pieces of human flesh, and then announced the dissolution of the account with only one sentence."

"What kind of words?" Lai Xing'er heard that his blood was gushing, and he couldn't imagine that Xu Guogong, a Confucian general, would also eat human flesh.

"Those who eat men will be eaten." Jiang Zhongshi almost squeezed these words out of his teeth.

Lai Xing'er was silent, compared with Xu Guogong's practice of treating others in the way of others, his behavior of wielding a sword and killing two evil soldiers in Songtai Village was really nothing. yes, the cannibal will be eaten, and when it is connected to himself, will not it become that the murderer will be killed? Only those who command the three armed forces can manage the army with such decisive means can they be worthy of a great responsibility! It is no wonder that Jiang Zhongshi witnessed what he was afraid of doing in Songtai Village that day, so he made up his mind to follow him.

"General, no, big brother, you haven't asked who the other person is?" Jiang Zhongshi saw that after hearing the story of Xu Guogong's cannibalism and rectification of military discipline, Jiang Zhongshi only lowered his head in reverie, couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and hurriedly asked.

"Okay, we're okay in the cell anyway, so you can talk about it." Lai Xing'er has a smart mind, and he has understood all the meaning that Jiang Zhongshi wants to express to himself from Xu Guogong alone, but he can't bear to sweep Jiang Zhongshi's head, so he responded with a smile.
