Chapter 5: Nirvana Rebirth

The next day, there was a thunderstorm in the early morning, and there was still an hour before the execution. Lightning hovered in the sky like a hideous purple snake, and then there was a loud thunderclap that shook the entire earth. With this thunder, Jiang Wei rushed into the cell, put the rice basket hidden in his arms on the ground, untied his coat and hung it on the wall, shook the hem of his wet gown, and then lifted the basket again and walked past the cells.

Jiang Wei came to Ma Yan's cell and looked inside. The cell was built against the wall, with no windows, and was pitch black. Ma Tan stood in the middle of the cell with his hands in his hands, looking up at the ventilation hole on the high wall, and the rain outside woven a curtain to cover the small hole.

Jiang Wei threw a few copper coins at the jailer and said hello. Kong Ming had already arranged everything, and all that remained was for Jiang Wei to show favor to Ma Yanbu by himself. The jailer opened the cell door, and Ma Jian came back to his senses, with no surprise in his expression, but calm as usual.

Jiang Wei walked into the cell, put the basket on the table, and said coldly: "Remembering that you have made a lot of meritorious achievements, the prime minister wants you to die a decent death, there is a pot of wine in the basket, you choose." After speaking, he was pretending to turn around and leave, but he heard Ma Jian laugh and said: "What does it matter if you live, and why don't you be afraid of death." Jiang Wei, don't be in a hurry to leave. I have something to say to you. ”

Jiang Wei stopped, asked the jailer for an oil lamp to put on the case, and said: "People are about to die, their words are good, if you have any last words, just say it, the prime minister will take good care of your family." ”

Ma Yan sighed, poured a glass of wine, and his tone was unprecedentedly relaxed: "I owe you a word of sorry, I was carried away by jealousy, because of my selfishness, I killed tens of thousands of Shu soldiers." If there is an afterlife, I will definitely pay it back,"

Jiang Wei smiled and said: "I have never regarded you as an opponent, Ma Youchang is my Jiang Wei's lifelong friend." Ma Jian nodded and smiled: "With your words, Ma Jian died without regrets." Goodbye, friend. ”

With that, Ma Tan drank all the spirits in his cup, and soon he felt his head gross, his eyelids gradually losing their strength to support, and the boundless darkness occupied his vision. ”

The oath on the shore of Weishui, I can only fulfill it in the next life, forgive me, Jiang Wei...... Immediately, Ma Tan lost consciousness and fell headlong.

Opening his loose eyes, Ma Tan said blankly: "Didn't I kill myself by drinking poisonous wine?" That's not the case in the Netherworld, is it? He never forgot it, and when he was conscious, he recognized at first glance that this was the camp of the common defeat.

Jiang Wei stepped forward to help Ma Jian up, and said with a smile: "This is all the meaning of the prime minister, he pitied his ability to join the army, so he ordered me to take you to the army camp." There is no need to worry about joining the army, it has been announced to the public that you committed suicide in fear of crime in the prison cell, and now that Ma Jian has disappeared forever in Dahan, his crime will no longer exist. ”

Ma Yan smiled abruptly and said slowly: "Living like this can only be heavier, even if I erase my crimes, the shame of defeat will torment me all the time." ”

Yang Lan chuckled and asked, "People must be easy to live?" Is life as frivolous as a feather interesting? Since you have made such a serious mistake, you should face it head-on, not die. As long as you live, there are many opportunities to wash away your shame."

Jiang Wei said to Ma Yanzuo: "There is a matter of asking for something, Jiang Wei is a martial artist, and he is handy at killing the enemy in battle, but he is not good at people's power and strategy, which often leads to himself and his partners in crisis." I hope that joining the army can assist from the side, and helping Jiang Wei is also helping the prime minister to complete the unfinished business of the first emperor. ”

Ma Jian took a few steps back, pointed to his nose and said confusedly: "Is it okay for me to be a general of a defeated army?" ”

Jiang Wei stepped forward to take his hand, nodded and said, "Everyone has had setbacks in their lives, and I think that joining the army is a person who can afford to lose, join us." Here you can start from scratch without any baggage from the past. ”

Ma Jian sighed, and then smiled: "Since you entered the Shu Han military camp, I have always been jealous of your talent, and I have gradually lost myself. Your bearing is really amazing, I'm afraid that the first emperor was too much. Staff officers of the often defeated army, I hope that this errand will fill my stomach. (You're so soft-hearted, Boyo, not everyone can wake up on the edge of a cliff.) Let me be your shadow and take care of all things that are not seen in the light for you. )

Jiang Wei and Ma Jian looked at each other and laughed.

A few days later, Zhuge Liang stationed his army in Hanzhong and Zitong. and all the civil and military generals who participated in the Northern Expedition returned to Chengdu and met with the saint, Liu Chan, the emperor of Shu Han. Jiang Wei's stunning performance in the Northern Expedition was recognized by many people, although there were still some objections, Zhuge Liang still overrode public opinion and recommended Jiang Wei as the general of Pingbei. Originally, he would be the youngest orthodox general in the history of Shu Han.

However, Jiang Wei was far from seeing the complexity of this matter, as well as the fierce struggle between the imperial power and the prime minister behind it.

Jiang Wei had no relatives in Shuzhong, so he had to temporarily live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but as long as Zhuge Liang led the hundred officials to the court tomorrow, he would have his own Pingbei General's Mansion in Chengdu.

Thinking of the magnificent general's mansion in the costume drama, Jiang Wei was a little stupid, where should I find so many maids to serve me? Every day before going to bed, you should turn over the brand and draw a maid to warm the bed.

Hey, if you knew earlier, you should ask Wang Ping first, this guy is from the city, and he will definitely play. Just when Jiang Wei wanted to enter Feifei, he heard the little guy outside the door say: "General, there is a young man who wants to see you by name." ”

Jiang Wei looked suspicious, I heard my mother say that the Jiang family has no relatives in Shuzhong? And how can it be a young man, shouldn't it be a cute girl paper?

Jiang Wei sighed, put down the golden bottle of plum compiled by himself based on the memories of his previous life, and came to the side hall with a little grooming. Since this young man knew that he lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he must be the son of a high-ranking official, Jiang Wei secretly told himself not to be arrogant and presumptuous.

Walking into the side hall, Jiang Wei saw a young man in a yellow robe, kneeling on a blanket and drinking tea. Jiang Wei stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "This little brother, I am Jiang Wei." Excuse me, what's the matter with you? The yellow-robed man got up and said with a smile: "Jiang Wei, the word Boyo, Tianshui people." Now he is the general of Fengyi of Shu Han, following Prime Minister Zhuge to the Northern Expedition, beheading Deng Xian, capturing Sun Li, fighting Zhang He, and saving Zhao Yun, which can be called the first general of Shu Han. ”

The more Jiang Wei listened, the more it was not a taste, and this person's tone was frivolous, as if he was mocking. Just as he was about to interrupt this person, suddenly, the young man turned his head to face Jiang Wei and hugged his fists and said, "Wendan, if there is any offense in your words, please be considerate of Brother Jiang." ”

This yellow-robed man is tall and strong, handsome, and talented. What shocked Jiang Wei even more was that this person's eyes were deep, and an irresistible coercion was invisibly exuded, making people unable to say a word of rebuttal. Person...... What is the origin?
