Chapter 3: The Black Samurai
"If you can't finish eating, you can pack it and take it away, tomorrow I have to climb such a big mountain, how can I have the strength to go if I don't eat enough." Wang Xu ripped off the horse meat, smashed it hard, and complained while eating: "I said to go directly to the official road, you have to come to climb the mountain, if you listen to me, the two of us will have already arrived in the county by now." ”
"Boy, what do you know, if you take the official road, the two of us will die by now,"
Wang Xu shook his head noncommittally, and said suddenly, "Old man, what is your identity, you can completely trust me, I will not harm you,"
The old man put down the leg of the horse in his hand, straightened his beard with greasy hands, and pretended to say in a deep voice: "Do you see the big mountain in front of you, over that big mountain is the royal city of Guxi County, and when you get there, you will know who I am." ”
"Cut, what a cow, you think you are the prince of the county."
The two of you talk to me, talk and laugh and talk about it in the middle of the night, and then fall asleep.
The next morning, dawn had just dawned. A cold wind blows across the earth, bringing a chill of coldness.
At the foot of the mountain, the morning dew hanging on the green leaves blew with the breeze and slowly fell, dripping on Wang Xu's face, and his closed eyes slowly opened, but at this moment, the scene that entered his eyes made him have to close his eyes again.
"Hey, big brother, look, there are two people in front of you," a samurai dressed in black and wearing a long sword at his waist whispered to the other two black-clothed samurai beside him.
The three of them gradually approached, holding a portrait in their hands, comparing them with the old man repeatedly, a little, and the samurai with the portrait in his hand ordered: "This is the person, kill him"
What the? Who are you going to kill?
"Hey, wait" Wang Xu was startled, turned over and got up, "Old man, wake up." ”
Wang Xu had already woken up, and he wanted to pretend to be a dead man to get by, but he didn't expect the man in black to be so vicious, he didn't even let go of the dead, so he had no choice but to wake up.
Wang Xu's cry woke up the old man, the old man stood up, the three men in black did not frighten him, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, the old man also knows who wants to put him to death, what makes the old man sad is that family affection is so vulnerable in the face of power, in order to get the throne, he did not hesitate to kill his father.
That's right, the sloppy old man is Zhou De, the prince of Guxi!
Half a month ago, a sudden vision occurred in the sky over Jingliao County, a huge whirlpool covered half of Jingliao County, as if to swallow all, lightning and thunder in the whirlpool, a golden dragon hovered in it; Such a scene has never appeared, Zhou De, as the king of Guxi County, would not miss it; immediately ordered 500 Yulin troops to go to Jingliao County; But it backfired, as soon as he arrived in Jingliao County, he was attacked by bandits, and the 500 Yulin Army was wiped out.
"I can also give you the benefits he can give you, if you are willing to escort me back to the royal city, I will give you a thousand taels of gold."
Such a big temptation was placed in front of the three men in black, Zhou De believed that as long as he was not a fool, he would accept it, but in the end he was disappointed, and the face of the man in black only returned to normal after a moment.
"Lord Jun, you are already dying, I don't want to tell you, I am waiting for the son of the world to die, you will die," the two long swords broke through the air, with a hint of hollow sound, and the cold air on the swords made Zhou De and Wang Xu both fight a cold war at the same time.
"Hey, wait, we're already in your hands, let me say a few words before I die." Wang Xu's shout caused the two men in black to stop.
Stopped, finally stopped, Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, he was shocked at this moment, he didn't expect that the old man was really the king of Guxi County, but isn't the son of the prince the prince, why harm him?
Thinking about it, it is to compete for the throne, and there are many such dramas in TV dramas, and Wang Xu is no stranger.
At this moment, the lives of the two are hanging by a thread, and if they want to live, they can only start with these men in black, if they can say that it is fine, if not, they are ready to fight hard.
After thinking about it, Wang Xu said, "If you kill the prince of the county, won't your parents, wives and children be punished?" You must know that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the prince is the authentic court, and you should be loyal to the king."
"Parents, wives and children?"
The man in black suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, and a painful look appeared on his face inadvertently; Thinking that their parents, wives and children were still in the hands of the son, and thinking of the order before leaving, they clenched the swords in their hands again, because only by completing the task could their relatives be safe and sound.
"Only by killing you can our relatives be safe and sound, and you will suffer death." A man in black said viciously.
Wang Xu looked dazed, how could he say more and more confused, he forced himself to calm down, "Three strong men, and listen to me." ”
"Follow me to escort the prince back to the palace, after returning to the palace, I guarantee that you and your wives and children will be safe and sound, and the prince will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold, and then you can take your parents, wives and children away from here, without worrying about food and clothing, and live a comfortable life from now on."
Wang Xu's words undoubtedly pinched the lifeblood of the man in black, if he can really take his wife and children away from the world to live a peaceful and stable life, who is willing to hand over his parents, wives and children to others, be coerced by them, and work for them.
Seeing that the three of them were hesitating, Wang Xu was overjoyed in his heart, and continued, "On the contrary, if you kill the prince, it will really be a great crime, not only will the court hunt you down, but even the prince will not let you live; Because you know too many of his secrets, as soon as he ascends to the throne, you lose your usefulness. ”
"Who are you?" The great temptation did not make the man in black get carried away, and he asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the prince is here, you can trust me completely."
The three of them glanced at each other, as if they were moved, and one said: "Our wives and children are in the hands of the son, can you save them?" ”
Zhou De saw the dawn at this time, and said eagerly: "Don't worry, as long as you escort this king back to the royal city, this king will immediately order their release and promise to give you ten thousand taels of yellow turbans!" ”
Wang Xu nodded. He continued to persuade again.
The sword on the shoulders of Wang Xu and Zhou De has been invisibly withdrawn, and the sword is back in play, the two of them are really tempted, and they turned around to ask for the opinion of the eldest brother.
"How can we believe you, do you dare to swear a poisonous oath to the dragon god?" The man in black said again.
Wang Xu secretly snickered, what is the dragon god, he hasn't figured it out yet, it is estimated that it is quite similar to the Buddha in the previous life, don't say that Wang Xu never believes in this ghost and god, even if it will come true? Faced with the choice of life and death, Wang Xu had no way out.
"The dragon god is above, Wang Xu swears hereby that if he can't save the parents, wives and children of the three strong men and return them to freedom, let him (finger quietly point to the old man) go to the eighteenth layer of hell after death, and he will not be reincarnated forever." Wang Xu kowtowed three times and finished the salute.
Wang Xu had already sworn to the dragon god, and the man in black no longer had any worries, knelt on his knees, and said angrily: "Lord, I am willing to serve the prince and escort the prince back to the palace." ”
Zhou De couldn't believe his eyes, in the face of the three black-clothed warriors, he had already accepted his fate, and he was helpless, but he didn't expect that it was Wang Xu who saved his life at the critical moment, and the more respectable one, in order to save his life, he did not hesitate to make such a hungry oath to the dragon god, Zhou De secretly swore that as long as he could return to the Guxi Palace, he would definitely reward Wang Xu.
"Get up, and when you get back to the palace, you will be rewarded,"
"No".
Two black-clothed warriors opened the way in front, Wang Xu and Zhou De followed closely with a roasted horse leg, and a black-clothed warrior was on guard behind; A group of five people slowly began to climb the mountain and march towards the palace.
