Chapter 700: Meeting Xiangyang (1)
Because the weather was still a little hot, the curtain of the military tent was ajar, the night wind blew in from outside the door, and the lights in the military tent swayed, dragging the shadow of the black-robed man in the tent back and forth, and he looked like a homeless lonely ghost.
On the chair not far from the black-robed man, Han Shixu, the marching marshal of the Qin Dynasty's army, was sitting there, holding a wine glass in his hand, and raised his head to look at the black-robed man and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Are you mocking me?"
The black-robed man turned around and looked at Han Shixuan and asked.
"I've always heard that the people in the Yanyun Military Inspection Department are all diehards of Yan King Li Xian...... And when the Military Inspection Department was still called the Flying Tiger Fifth Division, it seemed that several big stalls were the old men who followed Li Xian first, except for Ye Huaisleeve and Leng Yi, it seems that the other three were all Li Xian who followed him when he established Yanyun Village on Yanshan. ”
"I'm just curious, since it's a die-hard ...... Why are you afraid of death? ”
When the black-robed man heard Han Shixu's question, he smiled coldly and slowly pulled down the hat of the black-robed man. Under the flickering lights, the face made the atmosphere of the room cold as soon as it was revealed. People who have not seen this face will never be able to imagine the horror and disgusting of this face.
After pulling off his hat, the black-robed man did not stop moving, but flashed the robe as well, revealing his naked upper body, which was even more difficult to look at than his face.
The left side of his face was missing a piece of flesh, as if some wild beast had bitten off his cheekbone. The right side of the face has seven cuts, which are already scarred. The lower lip was opened vertically down from the middle, and although it had been stitched up, the centipede-like scar could still be seen.
If the injuries on his face make people vomit when they look at them, then the injuries on his upper body are even more unbearable.
On the chest alone, there were at least thirty or forty wounds. One of the most hideous is that in the heart position, there is a large piece of meat that has been ripped off, the person who went under the knife should be a veteran, the flesh that was cut off did not expose the bones and did not hurt the heart, but the remaining layer of meat is too little, and when the heart beats, you can even see this gap with a shake.
"I carried it for six days, and I thought I was going to die."
The black-robed man pointed to his heart, he put his finger in the flesh pit, and his finger touched the wound that had not yet healed completely, and his face twitched in pain.
"The Military Inspectorate is indeed serving King Yan alone, and the existence of the Military Inspectorate is because King Yan needs it. The slogan of the Military Inspection Office is also the purpose, that is, everything is for King Yan. I can say without pretentiousness that there are many people who are not afraid of death under the heroes of all walks of life in the world, but there are definitely not as many as the Military Inspectorate! ”
"I don't know about other people...... But I know myself, if I could kill myself, I would kill myself on the first day after being betrayed by you. If I could have died as soon as possible, I would never have dragged on for six days. If you can survive six days of torture, this time is not much, and I don't need to be ashamed of anything because of your words. ”
"You don't have to laugh at me for anything, and you don't have to look smug...... Han Shixu, I don't have the slightest doubt that if you were me, maybe you would have surrendered on the first day, or you would have been scared to death if you couldn't hold out for six days and would have been scared to death by your own inhuman appearance. You are from a noble background, your father was a pioneer of the Great Sui, you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, how have you ever suffered anything? ”
"I received seventy-three stabs in the face and at least one hundred and sixty stabs on my body...... Who are you to mock me for rebellion? You must know that you yourself have been a rebel from beginning to end, and as a courtier of the Great Sui, you have rebelled. His Royal Highness King Yan saved you and sent you to King Qin, and the agreement between you and King Yan has now been thrown into the stinky ditch by you, and you are reversed...... Who knows, will you also rebel against King Qin in the future? ”
Han Shixuan smiled and said, "I admit it, you are indeed extremely backbone. I just have to be surprised and shocked that after you couldn't bear the punishment and chose to surrender, you would choose to attack your comrades so decisively, speaking of which, you are more ruthless than me. ”
He paused for a moment and said, "It's true that King Yan has a life-saving grace for me...... But in this world, if there are still people who want to repay others for the rest of their lives because of the grace of saving their lives, then there is no doubt that this person is an idiot and will die an ugly death. ”
He pointed to the black-robed man in front of him and said: "You are the former third largest stall head of the Military Inspectorate, you have done a lot of things for Yan King Li Xian, but now you are the opposite, do you think he will spare you if you fall into Li Xian's hands?" ”
The black-robed man smiled, looking particularly hideous: "I am simply and decisive in attacking my comrades, but thank you for using these four words instead of being ruthless." Since I have already reversed, do I still have to pretend to be hypocritical? If it's the other way around, it's the other way around, so I'm going to have to do things in a new position. And also...... I will never fall into the hands of King Yan, it is enough to be captured alive by the enemy once, and I will not allow myself to make a second mistake. ”
He sat down in a chair and said slowly: "No one is really not afraid of death, and no one can survive life rather than death." ”
"It's you!"
He pointed at Han Shixuan and said, "Why did you betray King Yan?" ”
Han Shixuan laughed and said, "Where can I be considered a betrayal? When I agreed to come to King Qin's side, it was just to cooperate with King Yan, since it was just cooperation, so why should I be loyal to him? There is no shortage of military generals around King Yan, and some of them are people with great achievements, even if I help him get rid of King Qin at the most critical time, what can I do? Could it be that my credit can still be overpowered by Xu Shiji? Can you overpower the Yu scribes? Can you overpower Qin Qiong? The Mighty Sea? ”
"Under King Yan, I am just one of many meritorious men. And if King Qin achieves great things, I will be the only one. ”
He drank the tea in the cup and said, "Li Piaofeng, if it were you, how would you choose?" ”
The black-robed man twitched at the corner of his mouth, and said with a sneer: "You don't have to say these words, the way I am now is all thanks to you, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely kill you." ”
"You can only blame King Yan, he sent you to contact me. And now the movements of King Qin's army can no longer be controlled by Li Xian, the king of Yan, so I can only find you out. Not to mention hatred, the least valuable thing in this world is hatred, because everyone in the world has hatred in their hearts...... You have killed so many comrades, how can their hatred be counted? ”
……
……
The lights in the tent were still faltering, but there was silence between Han Shixu and Li Piaofeng.
The black-robed man's name is Li Piaofeng, who used to be the head of the third gear of the Fifth Department of the Flying Tiger, and belongs to the veteran level figure in the Military Inspection Department. When the fifth section of the Flying Tiger was first built, the head of the big gear was Ye Huaisleeve, the head of the second gear was Dugu Ruizhi, the head of the third gear was Li Piaofeng, the head of the fourth gear was Qiu Yu, and the head of the fifth gear was Leng Yi.
He was the old man who followed Li Xian to establish Yanyun Village in Yanshan, and he was the best of the more than 1,000 people that Li Xian rescued from Juyeze.
After Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Han Shicao was defeated by Chen Ling, and then disappeared, disappeared for a long time, and was found by the people of the Flying Tiger Fifth Division. At that time, it was Li Piaofeng who was responsible for contacting him. Later, grateful for Li Xian's life-saving grace, Han Shixuan promised Li Xian to go to Li Shimin's side and fight back at the most critical time. But not all calculations will go smoothly, you must know that the most untrustworthy thing in this world is the human heart.
The two of them were silent for a long time, and in the end, Han Shixuan couldn't help but speak first: "Anyway, the way you look now is because of me." I will save you once in the future, and I don't owe you anything, just for the sake of my own heart...... You know, if you die, I won't have those guilt. ”
"I can't believe I'll survive."
Li Piaofeng looked at the hot tea in the cup and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Don't worry, I will never give you a chance to save me." I'm not going to put myself in a crisis again, and if something like this happens, I'm sure I'll die a clean death. ”
After saying this, Li Piaofeng couldn't help but sigh: "Who said that death is harder than living?" ”
"Do it yourself."
Han Shixuan stood up and walked slowly to the door: "King Qin is short of people around him, and he is also very interested in the military inspection office around King Yan, it is estimated that you will have a good life for a long time, if you are extremely lucky, maybe this is also a way out for you to be a supreme minister, you should know that if you stay in the military inspection office of Yan Yun, your status will never be too high." ”
"Didn't you take your seat at the head of the third gear? Speaking of a military inspector's office...... It's just because the ability you show is not as good as others, the capable people under King Yan...... It's a lot, indeed. ”
"There are always many things that people can't predict."
Li Piaofeng looked at Han Shixuan, the corners of his mouth picked and said, "Who knows, will you regret betraying King Yan in the future?" Who knows, if I will end up with a broken body and no corpse? ”
"I'm not a betrayal!"
Han Shixuan stopped, turned around and said in an accentuated tone: "I repeat, from the beginning I was not his subordinate, not his courtier, he came to me to cooperate rather than make me loyal!" ”
Li Piaofeng sneered: "There will always be many excuses to deceive yourself, who else can you deceive besides yourself?" Han Shixu, you don't need to pretend to be here today, saying anything that will save my life in the future...... I have no doubt that you will become the number one hero under King Qin, and it is precisely because I think that you will definitely not end up better than me. ”
"I don't need you to remind you!"
Han Shixu walked out of the big tent and quickly disappeared into the night.
Li Piaofeng sat on the chair in a daze and didn't move for a long time.
"Original...... It's really not easy to not be afraid of death. ”
He smiled bitterly, thinking of the secret agents of the military inspection department who died in his hands a few days ago, his heart couldn't help but twitch, many of them were his subordinates, who used to get along day and night.
"Why didn't I die?"
He asked.
But no one could give him an answer.
……
……
A group of about fifty knights made their way through the night and galloped along the official road to the southwest. In the dark night, the trampling of horses' hooves was silent, and the sound was particularly harsh.
These fifty or so people all wore cloaks to cover their heads and faces, and they were still in a hurry late at night, indicating that what they had to do was urgent.
The man at the head was of medium stature, his black cloak covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, and there was occasional murderous intent overflowing in his eyes.
"General Dugu, we can rest, at most we can walk for another day to reach Xiangyang, the brothers are tired, how can we recover our strength."
The man at the head of the group had a sudden chill in his eyes, looked at the cronie who spoke, and asked coldly, "You call again." ”
"Heir...... Checkmate. ”
"If you shout the wrong thing again, I'll kill you."
Hei Thirteen said coldly, and then urged the horse to speed up: "Find a place to rest when it is dawn!" ”
PS: For Li Piaofeng's identity, see Chapter 240 "Doing Home Visits". Some readers said that the people of the military guards are not all diehards of Yan King Li Xian, and King Yan is about to ascend the throne, and rebellion at this time is idiot...... When a person is alive after six days of torture and wants to live, then rebellion is not an idiot's business.
PS2: Li Xian is not a god, even a god has people who rebel against him. In the face of life and death and interests, betrayal is easy.
PS3: Not to mention that he hasn't ascended the throne yet, is the emperor surrounded by loyal ministers?
