Chapter 450: The Sword
Chapter 450: The Sword
The north wind is howling, and the flag is waving. ,
The army of black oppression is approaching the city. The blade pointed far into the sky, exuding a terrifying cold light. The neat queue formed a square formation.
Although it is as silent as water, it is silent, and the coercion and evil aura that condenses out. Like the substance, it soared into the sky, and the people on the city wall couldn't breathe.
Duan Peng rode on a horse, holding a sharp hook and sickle in one hand, and came back and walked in front of the formation. From time to time, he raised his binoculars and glanced towards the city walls. I saw the rebels on the city wall, their faces were pale and trembling. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a sneer and disdain.
"General, General!" At this time, the herald behind him hurried over, with a happy face, and galloped over on a horse all the way, shouting Duan Pengdao.
"What?" Duan Peng put down the binoculars, turned his head, and looked at the herald.
"The military advisor asks you to go back to the Chinese army, saying that there is something important to discuss!" The herald licked his lips and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Duan Peng nodded, and then said to Ma San, who was holding two axes and tower-like axes on the side: "Look at the point, I'll go there!" ”
When Ma San heard this, he looked greedily at the telescope in Duan Peng's hand, nodded busily, didn't raise his head, waved his hand and said, "Boss, you can go with confidence, where is me?" ”
I've been coveting the general's magical clairvoyance for a long time, but I didn't expect to be able to see the whole picture today.
When Duan Peng heard this, he was immediately angry, glared, and scolded: "Day, can you kid speak human words." What kind of fucking bullshit! ”
smashed the telescope on Ma San's head: "Take it, give Lao Tzu a good look." If a fly escapes, Lao Tzu will castrate you! ”
With that, Duan Peng rode his horse and Dada left.
"Huh?" Ma San was dumbfounded, holding the telescope in his hand, and his heart was cold.
Not a single fly can fly out?
This......
Oh, my God!
Ma San was suddenly in mourning and stayed in place dejectedly.
"General Ma!" At this time, a small soldier beside him came over, turned his head to take a look, and saw that General Duan had left. , the little soldier smiled and said, "General Ma, Boss Duan is teasing you!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Ma Sanbiao was stunned for a moment and asked stupidly.
"General, where did the flies come from in this cold day! You say, is Boss Duan teasing you? The little soldier laughed and said with a wink.
"Oh!" Ma San suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on his swarthy face.
Turned around, raised his big hand like a fan, patted it on the shoulder of the little soldier, and laughed: "Wow, why didn't I think of it, haha, you kid is still smart!" ”
The little soldier, whose body was slightly thin, was slapped by Ma San's palm, and he suddenly fell to the ground. Rubbing his shoulders, he looked at Ma San resentfully.
And Ma San has long forgotten the worry in his heart just now. Mei Zizi raised her binoculars and began to investigate the movement on the city wall in front of her.
The Chinese army camp is dimly lit.
The charcoal fire in the brazier was blazing, but the oppressive cold air seeped through the cracks in the tent, and it still couldn't stop it.
Outside, the cold wind was blowing. The curtain of the tent hung down, shaking slightly. In that gap, you can faintly see the cold and freezing northern scenery outside, as well as the dazzling sunshine.
The wind blew in, and the coals in the brazier shook violently.
There was silence in the tent. The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive and breathless.
In front of the bookcase, Zheng Wang Xiaowu, who was already His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, was still standing there nervously at this time, with his head bowed. Occasionally raised his head and peeked at Lu Heng, his eyes full of fear.
"Teacher, I'm ......!" Xiao Wu lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Tell me, why do you think those soldiers who surrendered should be punished?" Lu Heng had never shown as seriousness as he did today. At this time, he looked at him quietly and asked lightly.
"They ......" Xiao Wu muttered, but when he saw the stern gaze of the master, he was timid in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
"You think they're rebellious?" After Lu Heng put down the fold in his hand, he raised his head, looked at him, and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and nodded in acknowledgement. (7*
Hearing this, Lu Heng glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and sighed.
Agui on the side, look at the son, and then look at the future emperor. Hehe smiled. I thought, Childe is really awesome. Trained the future emperor so that he didn't even dare to raise his head, what a cow!
However, he also knew that Gongzi cared for King Zheng very much, and King Zheng also had great respect for Gongzi, so although it was said to be a reprimand, on the one hand, it was not preaching and teaching to solve doubts.
Lu Heng stood up, took the robe handed over by Ouyang Ruolan, and put it on. Walked up to Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu!" Lu Heng looked at Xiao Wu in front of him, with his head down. Said lightly: "Raise your head!" ”
"Teacher!" Xiao Wu raised his head according to his words, glanced at Lu Heng, and hurriedly lowered his head, but still didn't dare to look at Lu Heng.
"Let's go, go out for a walk with me!" Lu Heng glanced at him and saw him like this. Smiled slightly. took the cloak handed over by Ouyang Ruolan, put it on, and took the lead in walking towards the outside of the tent.
Behind him, Xiao Wu followed step by step.
As soon as he walked out of the tent door, a cold wind swept in with hard snow grains.
Under the clear sky, the rivers and mountains are picturesque. The snow decorates the world in a blanket of silver. Ahead, the ancient city of Taiyuan, in this snow-white, solemn and quiet.
Lu Heng raised his hand and pointed at his own army in front of him. "Look, these armies. What do you think they are? ”
Turning his head, looking at Xiao Wu, seeing that he had a puzzled look, Lu Heng thought about it, changed his way, and asked, "Or, what do you think is the duty of a soldier?" What is their status in the country? ”
"Soldier ......" Xiao Wu lowered his head and thought for a while when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, soldiers should be a sharp weapon to protect the country from foreign aggression, the shield of the country!" ”
Lu Heng once told him this, but he didn't expect this smart little guy to take it out at this time.
Hearing this, Lu Heng's complexion looked a little better. Stretched out his hand, pressed Xiao Wu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You agree with this sentence?" ”
"Yes, teacher!" Xiao Wu nodded, and said with a firm gaze: "Grandpa Huang also told his disciple, this sentence can be called a golden and jade good word!" ”
Lu Heng smiled, looked at the army solemnly in front of the formation, and asked lightly: "Since the army is the weapon of the country." In other words, the army is an incomparably sharp sword! Right? ”。
"Yes!" Xiao Wu nodded and recalled: "Teacher, you once said that the army is a sword in the hands of the ruler to maintain the unity of the country and defend against foreign enemies. Students always remember! And take it to heart as the truth! ”
"Since you remember, then I ask you. If you say, the army is compared to a peerless sword. Then, the current situation between your imperial grandfather and your uncle of King Jin is like two people who are fighting to the death at the cost of their lives in order to seize the important treasure of the country. Isn't it? Lu Heng turned his head, glanced at him, and asked lightly.
"Yes!" Xiao Wu nodded again, and then added through gritted teeth: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, turn your back on your ancestors, and turn your back on my Huaxia." also dare to hope for the country's heavy weapon. It's ridiculous! ”
Lu Heng didn't care about Xiao Wu's understanding, and just smiled when he heard it. I was secretly amused in my heart, the old emperor really spared no effort to instill in Xiao Wu, the emperor's mental skills.
"Then since you agree with this point of view, then I ask you. Since it is a fight for life, there will always be people who are injured or killed because of it, and even innocent people will be affected. Whose sin is this, you say? Lu Heng spoke slowly, his tone extremely calm.
"King Jin's sin, if it weren't for him, the country would not have caused this great disaster, and the people of Li would be healthy and happy! There will be no innocent people killed or injured and uprooted from their homes! Xiao Wu clenched his fists, his face flushed. Looking at the Taiyuan City in the distance, he said angrily.
"Heh...... then why do you blame the scourge of war on a weapon and on this sword? Isn't that ridiculous? Seeing that the timing was about the same, Lu Heng smiled, and then brought the topic back to the original point.
Seeing Xiao Wu looking down and thinking, the look in his eyes gradually brightened. Lu Heng also knew that he understood his words. I was also convinced of the meaning of my words.
"The two of them fight for their lives, no matter who is right or wrong, who lives and who dies. There is nothing wrong with weapons. Lu Heng stretched out his hand and pressed Xiao Wu's shoulder, stared at him with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It's wrong, it's just the person who is mastering the weapon!" ”
"Teacher's teaching!" When Xiao Wu heard this, his face was solemn, he took a step back, and bowed: "Disciple, keep it in mind!" ”
Lu Heng smiled, waved his hand, and signaled him not to be polite. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the beautiful northern rivers and mountains in the distance and said, "Do you remember what I told you when I was in Baoding Mansion before?" ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Teacher, you said, be broad-minded for the monarch, don't be narrow-minded!" ”
Lu Heng nodded: "Yes." And, there is one more word. A good emperor is a swordsman whose martial arts have reached the realm of transformation. ”
"Swordsman?" It was the first time for Xiao Wu to hear the teacher comment on an emperor like this, so he was curious, and hurriedly asked, "Can the teacher solve the doubts of the disciple?" ”
"Good swordsman, for the country and the people! Mind the world, for the benefit of the people. This is the highest level of swordsmanship. There are countless swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, but among these tens of thousands of swordsmen, only the emperor can reach this realm! Only the emperor has such means and abilities! Lu Heng smiled, turned his head, and looked at Xiao Wudao: "Be brave and fearless, and have the world in mind." This is what the peerless swordsman of the future will do! ”
"Heh......" Seeing that Xiao Wu was thinking about his words, Lu Heng smiled and said lightly: "Of course, since he is a swordsman." It must be a sword-loving life. So, what about you, the peerless swordsman of the future. At this time, this rebel army is an ownerless sword, don't you want to take this sword into your pocket? ”
"Disciple!" Xiao Wu's heart was shocked, his eyes lit up, he nodded excitedly, and said eagerly: "Think, think!" Teacher, the disciple understands, the disciple finally understands! ”
Seeing the joy on Xiao Wu's face, Lu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, waved his hand and said, "Since you understand, then you can go to Jinju." The unowned sword is waiting for you there. But don't be snatched away. If that's the case, rubbing shoulders with this peerless sword will be your lifelong regret as a swordsman! ”
"Good, good!" Xiao Wu couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, looked at Lu Heng, and nodded hurriedly: "I'll go right away!" ”
"Don't forget to find a good scabbard for this peerless sword!" After Lu Heng admonished him, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go!" ”
"Yes!" Of course, Xiao Wu knew what the sword scabbard was talking about. Nothing more than nominal.
As the prince of the Great Zhou, he went to recruit this group of iron-blooded divisions and named them the Fifth Legion of the Great Zhou. With such a name, such treatment, and such a scabbard, it should be enough to be worthy of this peerless sword!
Xiao Wu was ecstatic in his heart, and he seemed to have seen that this peerless sword was already in his hands, flashing with a multi-godly cold light.
"Hey, swordsman!"
Xiao Wu turned over on his horse, smiled, and raised his horsewhip to shake it hard.
With a snap, the whip volleyed into the air.
The war horse under the crotch neighed, like a black lightning, and galloped away.
Behind him, hundreds of internal guards, surrounded by His Royal Highness the Prince, galloped towards Jinju.
