Chapter 106: The Young King's Oath
A bonfire was raised in the barren Gobi Desert, and it was too late for everyone to do anything, so they used this place as a temporary base to replenish their physical strength and try to restore their physical strength to an optimal level. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
War is not as simple as imagined, even if the two sides fought for less than an hour, but each side paid the most precious thing as a gamble, that is, life.
The Huns, who had barbarian blood in their bodies, were finally defeated, more than a hundred people died in the war, and the rest of the troops were also killed by the young commander for Liwei, and now, on the Gobi Desert, which is filled with the smell of blood, there are less than 90 survivors, who are the last trace of fresh blood of this army.
The young commander has a peaceful face, but he likes to brow, but he always gives people a cold feeling of being thousands of miles away, he walked to the front of the crowd with his sword, stunned, for a long time, and finally said: "Do you want to live?" I can give you a chance, now, as long as someone comes and chops off Helianxiong's arm, then you will be saved. ”
When the sound comes out.
The survivors who had endured humiliation and hunger raised their heads, and at this moment, even if their faces were less fierce than before, they could still see the heavy hatred.
Huangfu Mu didn't like this kind of look, which reminded him of the bloody battle between Sun Yi, Guan Hai and Qingquan Mountain, at this moment, he seemed to hear countless curses singing in his ears, resounding through his heart, and the blood in his body was violently vibrating.
He really didn't like this kind of gaze, even if it was as scared as ever, it was more comfortable than the determination to kill himself all the time.
He raised his right hand and stabbed a warrior through the neck with a sword, blood pouring out and a life gone.
Every demon who grew up in the Gobi and killed people at an unimaginable age from childhood to the Han people, at this moment his face finally began to deteriorate, and in the face of some neurotic young commanders, they endured the unimaginable fear of others every minute and every second, death is not terrible, what is terrible is that no one knows, who will die in the next second.
Huangfu Mu shook his head, and his tone became a little cold: "I think one thing you have overlooked, my patience is not very good, there is only one chance, in the future for a period of time, if someone is willing to cut off one of the arms of the king in your mouth, then you will be free, on the contrary, if no one is willing, then I will gladly send you to see the so-called Spirit Lord, let me think about his name, oh, it is Immortal Heaven." ”
The emperor, who had no audience, was talking to himself, but the survivors who witnessed this scene did not have a trace of ridicule, and some of them were just as cold as being able to penetrate the frozen hearts and spleens of clothes.
Silence, long silence.
Life and loyalty, this is not an easy thing to choose, many soldiers who have never frowned when they pick up the blade to kill for the first time, choose to be silent at this moment, their faces are full of pain, life and death, loyalty and rebellion, it is very difficult and helpless.
"I'll come." A voice came from the crowd without much confidence, it was a man of near middle age, with a long face and thin eyes, like a hyena, who was the first to wake up when most people were still immersed in painful and helpless dreams of betrayal.
Huangfu Mu didn't like him, both outwardly and internally, but he still handed the other party a sword, a sword so heavy that the other party had to abandon all loyalty in order to obtain.
The survivors who were forced to sit on the ground looked extremely angry, but none of them came out to stop them.
The man's hands trembled a little, but he still took the blade, his pace was very slow, and it took a long process to move each step, this was a process of self-redemption, he walked for nearly half a moment in a short distance of more than ten meters, and finally, he came to the corpse of Helian Xiong's lost head, his eyes were a little throbbing, there was remembrance and sorrow, and there was a trace of imperceptible madness and greed, he took a deep breath, raised his sword, and in an instant, an arm jumped in front of him.
Huangfu Mu looked at this scene and said softly: "You are free. ”
Every face of pain and self-reproach was full of heaviness, and even at the last step, they did not stop it, and it was clear that they chose the former in the face of life and loyalty.
Not long ago, Helian Xiong, who regarded the entire Gobi as his back garden, was cut off by his loyal men, and his body was no longer complete, which was a sign that he would not return to heaven when he died.
On this day, the king of the Gobi died mutilated, and the warriors who chose to betray because of their lives lost their faith, and the force that carried the rise of Uliyasu collapsed like a house in a flood.
And the initiator was the commander who stood behind the crowd and watched them leave, a young man with a hundred times more ambition than Helian Xiong.
Arati came to the side of the Emperor Fu Mu and devoured the martial spirit, he was no longer the outcast who had to use his hands to find food in the sand in order to survive, and now, he was a captain of the Shadow Guard, a warrior who even though he was not very old, but who relied on killing and human heads to have all the reverence and convincing under his command.
"My lord, why did you let them go?" Questioning, even if it is a well-intentioned question, but for the superiors, this is a serious provocation to the extreme, compared to Chu Yan, Arati has obviously not learned the consciousness that a dead man should have.
It has changed a lot, but just like the indifferent Huangfu Mu, he smiled abnormally and said, "Why don't you kill them?" Why did you let them go? ”
"These are our enemies, you said, treat the enemy as cold as the wind, they return to the tribe, it will increase the strength and strength of the tribe, I think, we should kill them." By trying to gain many rewards that he had not thought of in the past, and trying to gain more and deeper attention from the Emperor, this four-legged serpent, who not so long ago was humble as a desert climbing, uttered a cruel and vicious remark in a calm tone.
"Force doesn't solve everything, and sometimes we need some other means, like wisdom. Cut off the king's arm with his own hands, watch the king's arm be cut off with his own eyes, from that moment just now, they have lost their faith, they are like a group of ghosts without an ancestral hall, even if they return to the tribe, they will be resented and hated, not welcomed and praised, Helian Xiong is destined not to bring out all the warriors, in the tribe, there is a group of loyalists who choose to draw their swords for anger, and here, there is a group of exorcists who carry betrayal, everyone wants to live, so someone has to die, let them go back, Not because of mercy and kindness, but knowing that they are destined not to be forgiven, the explanation is pale, only killing is eternal, they may die or live, but the only thing that is certain is that because of the civil war, their tribe will eventually usher in destruction and loneliness. ”
Arati looked stunned and a little dazed.
Huangfu Mu did not deliberately teach the other party, but said calmly: "Do you think this place is big?"
"Here?" Alati muttered.
Huangfu Mu turned his head and looked at the guy in front of him who had grown from a boy to an executioner in a short period of time, with a warm smile on his face: "Here, is the entire Gobi. ”
Arati thought about it carefully, and then nodded affirmatively: "Big, big." ”
It was indeed a large place, and it would take days to ride the fastest horse, and it was already the largest place that Alati had ever seen in his life for Arati, who had never seen the outside world.
Huangfu Mu smiled, and his tone was a little sarcastic: "In addition to the barbarian land that is thousands of miles away or even thousands of miles away, there are a total of thirteen states on this land we stand on, the Gobi belongs to Liangzhou, which is the most desolate and backward and the most narrow place in these thirteen states, in the distance, there are lakes, mountains, and prosperity and strength that you have never seen, people's fists can be weak, but their vision can not be narrow, this place is very small, so small that it is just a speck of dust in the eyes of some people." ”
I can't imagine that the man's face is a little red in the world, at this moment, he feels like a fox showing off to a tiger because he caught a hamster, and the next second, he closed his mouth and stopped making a sound.
Huangfu Mu looked up at the dark curtain in the distance, there, there was the throne and the country that he had to get but full of dangers, perhaps thinking of something that made him lost, the young commander's eyes were a little sloppy, and after a pause for a few seconds, he said again: "In my hometown, the daughter before marriage needs a bride price, the more the bride price shows that the woman pays more attention to this marriage, of course, in addition to the affirmation of the man, more is to show off and stand up, the amount of the bride price indicates the status and wealth of the woman's family, although obscure, But the woman's family still inadvertently showed their strength, so as to tell the other party, don't bully my daughter, because I have much more than I give you. ”
Frustrated, Arati did not speak, his eyes widened, and he chose to be the most competent listener.
Huangfu Mu smiled: "Qiqige will marry one day, work hard, if you do well enough, here, this place where countless corpses and wealth are buried is the bride price I gave to Qiqige." ”
Arati, who was covered in sweat because of his excitement, could no longer remain calm: "My lord, what should I do?" ”
The Emperor replied with some non-answers: "Arathi, you have a good name, in a place you don't know, these three words have the meaning of God's whip, representing strength and bravery, you have to work hard, kill more people for yourself and for me, take away more land and power, you are a good brother, and you will be a good warrior, but the premise is that you have to live, live to kill, live to be loyal, live to protect the people and things you want and must protect." ”
Arati stopped talking, every nerve in his mind was thinking, and at this moment, he was trying his best to absorb the dreams and promises given by the Emperor Fu and the words that belonged to the future.
Huangfu Mu took a step and walked away from the crowd, the bottom of his feet was a stream made of blood, he stepped on it and looked into the distance, as if talking to himself or swearing an oath, and said softly: "You in the future, are you ready to face me?" ”
