Verse 2, 3, 4 Peerless
The mountain wind hunts, the firelight beats, and the shadows of everyone are fluttering, like a heart of Xu Shiji.
Xu Shiji has heard the name of Pushan Gong for a long time, but he regrets not meeting him, but he didn't expect to be framed by him as soon as they met.
Everything seems to be very clear, Li Mi sacrificed his Xu Shiji in exchange for Zhai Rang's trust, and now it seems that Zhai Rang not only trusts Li Mi, but also gratitates the five bodies to the ground, even if he is sold by Li Mi, he still counts the money for him.
Xu Shiji felt chilled when he thought about his methods, but what was even more chilling was that although he was completely clear, he also knew that he had not betrayed Wagang, and he was even more interested in saving Zhai Rang, but except for himself, no one present would believe him.
"Xu Shiji, do you have nothing to say?" Zhai Hong sneered: "People like you, betraying friends for glory, harming the lives of thousands of people in Wagang, if you don't kill you, it is really intolerable." ”
A gust of mountain wind blew, full of coldness, Zhai Hong only felt a little chill behind him, but he stared at Xu Shiji deadly. He insisted that it was Wagang betrayed by Xu Shiji, and of course only he knew best what his intentions were. Xu Shiji sighed for a long time and said: "If Shiji has the heart to betray Wagang, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, Xiongxin, don't you believe me?" ”
At this moment, he was wronged, but he came to his senses, he didn't care about his own safety, he just wanted to warn Zhai Rang not to be deceived by Li Mi. But now in the minds of everyone in Wagang, he has long been unkind and unjust, betraying his friends to seek glory, and he can only hope that Shan Xiongxin will be sober and not be deceived by Li Mi.
Shan Xiongxin just coughed, but didn't answer, Zhai Hong sneered: "Xu Shiji, do you still want to find someone to back your back now?" It's a pity that even the heroic and righteous Brother Shan is disheartened by you and doesn't want to say half a word to you. ”
Xu Shiji sighed, "Village master, I can only say that what you have seen with your own eyes is true...... what you have not seen"
"What we have seen with our own eyes is not true, is what we heard you say the truth?" Zhai Hong did not allow Xu Shiji to argue.
Xu Shiji ignored Zhai Hong and went on, "Li Mi is unpredictable, he is not a good friend of the owner of the village, Shiji's words are all here, listen to it or not, and ask the owner of the village to decide for himself." ”
After he had said this, he turned to leave, because he had a clear conscience. Zhai Hong jumped in front of Xu Shiji, and said with a smile: "Xu Shiji, after you sow discord and harmed Wagang, do you want to leave like this?" ”
Xu Shiji's face was gloomy, his hand pressed the handle of the knife, and he squinted at Li Mi and said: "With you Zhai Hong, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop me Xu Shiji." ”
He reviewed the situation and knew that everyone present, the Wagang people were all injured, and the only people who could stop him were Li Mi and Cai Jiande. I heard that Li Mi is both civil and martial, but since he asked Cai Jiande to save the people in Wagang, he must be under Cai Jiande in martial arts. He just figured it out with common sense, and he had the same opinion as Yun Lang, who arrested Li Mi at the beginning, where did he think that Li Mishi was a peerless master who was deeply hidden.
Although Xu Shiji looked down on Li Mi, the rest of the place was thoughtful, recalling that the figure of the person who lured him out of the temple was different from Li Mi and Cai Jiande, and there must be someone in ambush in secret, and he was on guard. He knew that as long as Zhai Rang spoke, he would really die for life, but he had a clear conscience, and he would never be willing to be killed.
When Zhai Hong saw Xu Shiji's staring at all directions, he was afraid in his heart, and took a few steps back and shouted: "I can't stop you, can't Cai Zhuangshi too?" ”
Li Mi coughed lightly, "I am a guest below, although my kung fu is ordinary, I also know that the road is uneven, and I draw my sword to help." However, Zhai is the master here, Li Mi and Jiande are all in charge. ”
Everyone looked at Zhai Rang, and seeing that his face was reflected in the firelight, Wang Dangren said softly: "The owner of the village, when it is interrupted, it will be chaotic, and please don't ask the owner of the village to be benevolent to the woman." ”
Zhai Rang sighed and waved his hand: "Shiji, you go, you will be you and I will be you in the future, and we will not owe anything to each other." ”
Everyone was stunned, although Xu Shiji scolded Zhai Rang for being confused, he was grateful, knowing that Zhai Rang couldn't bear to do anything to him after all, and strode away, Li Mi's eyes flashed with strangeness, and he sighed lightly, "Zhai Dangjia is really kind-hearted." ”
**Xu Shiji strode away, but he was vigilant that someone was secretly attacking, but he only ran for a few hours, and he didn't see an interception, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He wandered around in the wilderness, turned the foot of the mountain, and found that the front was open, and the four fields were much brighter, and when he looked up, he saw the river in the distance, and the river was shining with a silvery bright color, and his heart sank, it was already dawn. Before he knew it, he actually turned back to the Tongji canal.
Thinking of what happened this night, Xu Shiji suddenly felt like a dream. He sighed lightly and muttered to himself, "Wagang is finished." ”
Thinking about it, Xu Shiji smiled bitterly in his heart, and secretly said that Wagang was not finished, and he could only say that the owner of the village would no longer be Zhai Rang. With Li Mi's means and scheming, how can Zhai Rang be his opponent, and now Li Mi is subordinate to others and comes to rescue Zhai Rang, but because he values the foundation of Wagang and Zhai Rang's prestige, he tries to occupy the magpie's nest and make a profit. Although Wagang Village was broken by Xiao Buyi, but now Wagang is still there, Zhai Rang is still there, why is it difficult to find someone? It's just that with Li Mi's strategy, Wagang will be fast and strong, and at that time, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, and Zhai Rang was in danger.
Xu Shiji has thought clearly about these calculations all night, but who can believe them?
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel cold, even if Shan Xiongxin stopped talking last night, he didn't necessarily see the subtlety of the situation, Shan Xiongxin chose to be silent, was it because he was also disappointed in Zhai Rang?
"The dove occupies the magpie's nest, and the fisherman profits." Xu Shiji stood by the river, muttered to himself, gritted his teeth and said: "I have done my best to be benevolent, but I am not as good as I should be, and I can manage a lot?" ”
Seeing a passenger ship going down the river, Xu Shiji waved his hand, the passenger ship docked, and the boatman asked, "Where is the guest officer going?" ”
Xu Shiji jumped on the boat and sighed, "Go to Liangjun." ”
"Fortunately, you are only going to Liangjun, if you are further away, it is estimated that you will not be able to take my boat." The boatman replied.
Xu Shiji was puzzled and asked, "It turns out that the boatman doesn't go a long way?" ”
The boatman said hesitantly: "It's not that I won't go, but the government won't let me go." The dragon boat on the holy head south, the idle boats can't get close, the previous day just went south from here, the dragon boat goes slowly, our boat goes fast, if you catch up, I'm afraid the boat will be burned. ”
Xu Shiji said casually: "Where you go, it's counted." But I thought in my heart, did Xiao Buyi know that Yang Guang was going south, and if so, he also let himself take Zhai Rang to the Eastern Capital, did he know that he would definitely let Zhai Rang go and give himself a favor? But Xiao Buyi is only afraid of thousands of calculations, and he can't count Li Mi to kill halfway, which is also a helpless thing.
**What the boatman said is the truth, the boat went south from Xingze, passed Xingyang, Junyi, and was ordered to return north after arriving at Yongqiu, just because the Shengshang dragon boat was dozens of miles away, and no related ships were allowed to approach. Xu Shiji could only get off the boat and walk to Liang County, there were more and more guards on both sides of the river, and the inventory was strict, Xu Shiji didn't want to do much, but he gave up a shortcut to go around Liang County, and went to Liang County around the mountain, saving a lot of trouble.
After Xu Shiji arrived in Liangjun City, he had already made up his mind to go to Xiao Buyi first to explain everything.
Xiao Buyi may not be a hero, but he is definitely a friend, he asked himself to escort Zhai Rang, whether he lost or let go, he always had to give him an explanation.
Xiao Buyi is now the ambassador of the four counties of Liang, Qian, Xiapi, and Pengcheng to arrest him, and now he is famous, but Xu Shiji is not worried about finding him.
After entering the city of Liangjun, I feel that it is not as much as the precautions on both sides of the Tongji Canal, presumably Yang Guang will not get off the dragon boat, but will only let officials from all over the country go to see it. Xu Shiji went to a restaurant, asked for wine and food, poured himself a drink, there are three religions and nine streams here, everyone has it, but it is a good place to find out the news.
A few days on the boat, Xu Shiji has long been disheartened with Wagang, no matter what, as long as Li Mi is still there, he will definitely not return to Wagang. It is undeniable that if Li Mi controls Wagang, he will definitely be much stronger than Zhai Rang, but he doesn't like it.
"Have you heard that there has been another General Xiao in the imperial court recently?" There was a drinker at the side table.
"There are many generals in the imperial court, how can I know a lot."
Xu Shiji squinted and found that the drinkers at the next table were fat and thin, drunk and smoky, and couldn't help but pay attention. secretly thought that Xiao Buyi was really an outlier in the Great Sui, and he became famous in a short period of time, even if the drinkers in Liang County were talking about it, it was really popular all over the Central Plains. However, this is not necessarily a good thing for him, the high merit has always been a royal taboo, and at the peak, if Xiao Buyi is frustrated, it is estimated that he will be injured more seriously than anyone else.
The footsteps behind him sounded softly, and a breeze swept past Xu Shiji, Xu Shiji squinted his eyes and found a woman in black walking over and sitting down with her back to her. The woman wore a cloak and a hat on her head, and wrapped herself tightly.
The bartender came over to greet him, and the woman whispered, "A bowl of rice." ”
Xu Shiji noticed that there seemed to be a long sword under her cloak, but he didn't care. Walking in troubled times, there are more and more people with knives and swords, and women walking alone, if they are either helpless, or they have no fear, they just go to the restaurant to eat a bowl of rice, after all, it is still a rare thing.
"You're just a loner, aren't you? There are many generals in the imperial court, and there are not many who may be compared with General Xiao, and now it is estimated that only General Zhang Xutuo can be called a general with General Xiao. The fat drinker next to him spat and danced with his eyebrows.
The thin man was puzzled: "I know General Zhang Xutuo, he is the ambassador of the twelve counties of Henan Province, what ability does this General Xiao have, and he is on a par with General Zhang?" ”
The fat man said proudly: "You don't know this, General Xiao is called Xiao Buyi, the surname Xiao was originally the surname of the previous dynasty, and the queen is also this surname." I heard that he is the nephew of the queen, so he is naturally a prince and grandson. When he was young, he entered the Maoshan Sect to learn Taoism, both civil and military, and used soldiers like gods. Since returning from the Maoshan Sect, he has been reused by the saints, and when he was in the Eastern Capital, he spoke the truth, so that those yellow-haired and green-eyed old ghosts were in awe of the heavens. Later, Shengshang was in danger, and 400,000 Turkic soldiers went south to attack Yanmen, and the generals were helpless. ”
Xu Shiji listened, and he didn't know how much of what the fat man said was true, and when he heard that he was sprinkling beans into a soldier, he almost squirted out a mouthful of wine. Knowing that these laymen and fools don't know the truth, and they don't want to use their brains, they will only pin their hopes on this nihilistic immortal. Maoshan Sect Xu Shiji knows that it is a great sect in the north, the sect leader is called Wang Yuanzhi, I heard that he is quite knowledgeable, Emperor Wen and the current saint have been summoned, Yang Guang also worshipped Wang Yuanzhi as a teacher a few years ago, but I heard that Wang Yuanzhi left the eastern capital to preach, and it is as rare as an immortal.
The thin man sighed, "Then General Xiao is just like a fairy?" ”
"Although it's not a god, it's not much worse." The fat man said proudly.
"Even if General Xiao is an immortal, what are you proud of?" The thin man flattened his mouth.
The fat man sneered: "Don't you know that my surname is also Xiao?" If you calculate it carefully, I still have something to do with Lord Xiao, and I can be regarded as his son and nephew. Yesterday, General Xiao's army came to Liang County, and it was very busy, so I didn't want to disturb it, so I just wanted to visit it in a few days. ”
The thin man was in awe, and hurriedly toasted: "If Brother Xiao sees General Xiao, the glory and wealth can be waited, and at that time, we can't forget the friends who were poor and lowly in the past." ”
"That's nature." The fat man sighed: "I am the most righteous person, oops, I forgot to bring the wine money today." ”
The thin man smiled and said, "Today, the wine and food are naturally counted on the head of the little brother." ”
The fat man reached out and beckoned the bartender, "In that case, man, serve two more dishes." ”
Xu Shiji listened to this fat man's deception, but he had the potential of Xiao Buyi, maybe he really had something to do with Xiao Buyi, and the next thing to listen to was the Zhang family, the Li family was short, and there was no taste. But one thing is for sure, Xiao Buyi did arrive in Liang County, and Yang Guang also arrived nearby, could it be that he came to see the driver? Thinking of this, Xu Shiji sighed lightly, secretly thinking that Xiao Buyi was really elusive.
Turning his eyes out, he found that the woman in front of him didn't move the rice, stopped eating, seemed to be listening to something, and couldn't help but shake her head.
was about to bow his head to drink, when he suddenly heard a noise under the restaurant, and a woman shouted for the sky.
Xu Shiji looked over and found a woman kneeling in front of a mansion with her hair disheveled, shouting something that she couldn't hear clearly.
The drinker next door looked at it, shook his head and said, "The girl of the Sun family was robbed, what's the use of shouting like this, I won't come back." ”
"Yes, every time the Holy Lord makes a southern tour, these people have to use the Holy Lord's draft as an excuse ......"
"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs." The fat man shook his head and said, when the thin man saw Xu Shiji looking over, he was also afraid of causing trouble, so he didn't talk about it. Xu Shiji frowned, and just wanted to go over to ask, when the gong sounded next to the street, and the street fell silent.
Everyone was awe-struck, and they all looked into the street, only to see a pair of men and horses coming from the opposite side, the soldiers in front of them holding signs of quiet avoidance, two columns of soldiers in front of the road, and two tall horses behind them.
Xu Shiji just looked at it, knowing that most of today's affairs would not be his turn to intervene, looking at his official uniform on the right, it should be the Taishou of Liang County, and the person on the left hand was in armor, and he should have been a majestic weapon, but he was lazily riding on a horse, with a smile on his face, and it was Xiao Buyi.
**From the perspective of a bystander, Xu Shiji can't help but admit that Xiao Buyi is extremely complicated. His most powerful weapon is not martial arts, but an attitude that can always make people not feel hostile. He sat lazily on the horse, if Xu Shiji had never known each other, most of them would have thought that this was just a gentleman and had no ability, but after seeing his methods, he found that this was just a way for him to paralyze his opponent.
Xiao Buyi was on the horse, although he was smiling, he was thinking about his thoughts, and he didn't know if Xu Shiji had let Zhai Rang go. Zhai Rang is irrelevant, it is not very useful to kill or not, he has established his prestige in the first battle, and he has already established his prestige, and now it is Yang Wang, the Taishou of Liangjun, who is respectful to him, if he can exchange Zhai Rang's surname for Xu Shiji's gratitude, he feels that he can give it a try. He led the troops south, and soon arrived in Liang County, but Yang Guang was still on the road, but fell behind him, and stayed in Liang County for a few days, and Yang Wang had a good relationship, and now said that the saint received him, Yang Wang stammered to him, personally led the guards to open the way for him, and escorted him out of the city to the place where Yang Guang was.
Yang Wang knew that the current Xiao Buyi was like Zhongtian, and no one knew how far it would go in the future, and he tried his best to be flattering along the way, and was thinking about how to treat Xiao Buyi at night after he turned around. ”
The spear of the guard stabbed out, forcing the woman to not step forward, Yang Wangda frowned, and said in his heart Now that Xiao Buyi is the ambassador of the four counties, if he participates in his own book, he can still sit firmly, that is, God has no eyes. Seeing Xiao Buyi looking at him with a smile, Yang Wang's face sank, and he shouted: "Retreat all, how can there be any grievances in this Liang County?" ”
The guards retreated, the woman snatched it over, knelt down, kowtowed, Yang Wang felt that Xiao Buyi's eyes were like needles, and said with a pleasant face: "The woman gets up for the time being, what are the grievances, this Taishou is in charge of you." ”
The woman was overjoyed and said: "Taishou, the women have a daughter who depends on each other, and they were snatched away by Liu Juncheng a few days ago, and they asked the Taishou to return the daughter of the women." ”
Yang Wang coughed, "Is this really the case?" You turn around for now, and when I find out about it, I'll give you an explanation. General Xiao, seeing that the time for the saint is coming, I will accompany the general out of the city first. ”
Xiao Buyi was not in a hurry, "It's okay, presumably the saint knows that we are the masters of the people, and he will not blame him." ”
Yang Wangxin said that this matter could not be delayed, and ordered the soldiers to find Liu Juncheng to come. After hearing the reason, he bowed down and said: "Lord Hui, this people's daughter is deliberately making things difficult, and the saint went south for the draft, but the daughter of the Sun family gave it to the saint." ”
Yang Wang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, Xiao Buyi watched coldly, and saw Liu Juncheng's eyes rolling wildly, most of them had ghosts in their hearts, and immediately smiled: "If the draft girl is given to the saint, we really can't care ......about it" Liu Juncheng's eyes showed a look of pride, Xiao Buyi had already shouted in a deep voice: "If someone uses the name of the draft to snatch the people's daughter, but pushes it to the saint's body, and the wisdom of the saint is bad, it is the crime of beheading!" ”
Liu Juncheng's face showed a look of horror, and Xiao Buyi said coldly: "Okay, you are a county prince, you are pretending to be a public servant, where is the daughter of the Sun family hiding?" Say it now, and I'll spare you from death! ”
As soon as he waved his hand, the guards around him had already stepped forward and held down Liu Juncheng, the long knife was against his neck, Xiao Buyi said coldly: "I count to three, if you don't tell the true whereabouts of the daughter of the Sun family, I will cut off your head." ”
Liu Juncheng sweated profusely, leaned over and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "General Xiao spares his life, the villain is guilty, and the daughter of the Sun family is hiding in my house......"
Xiao Buyi smiled, waved his hand and said, "Let him go, what to do with the rest depends on Lord Yang's orders." ”
Yang Wang's face turned pale, and he waved his hand: "Put him on death row and take this woman to Liu's house to find her daughter." ”
Liu Juncheng begged in a mournful voice: "General Xiao, you said that you would spare my surname, how can you go back on your word?" ”
Xiao Buyi said indifferently: "I said that you will spare your life, but Lord Yang wants to deal with you, what does it have to do with me?" ”
The soldiers escorted Liu Juncheng away, and the sister-in-law Sun followed the soldiers away with a thousand thanks, Xu Shiji in the restaurant sighed in his heart, if he came to deal with this matter, ask the night detective, and there may not be any results, Xiao Buyi's judgment in a few words and two sentences, the accuracy of the judgment is emotional.
Yang Wang didn't feel the brilliance of his subordinates' personal fraud, and said with a strong smile: "Fortunately, the adults are aware of everything, and the subordinate officials are not in a good position, and it is also the fault of the subordinate to do this." ”
Xiao Buyi sighed lightly: "Lord Yang is serious, with the wisdom of the saint, he can't personally observe everything, let alone Lord Yang?" ”
Yang Wang felt that what Xiao Buyi said seemed to have deep meaning, and it was a little nondescript, so he could only say: "What General Xiao said is extremely true. ”
Sister-in-law Sun's matter seems to be just an ordinary episode, and it didn't delay Xiao Buyi too much. The two rode forward, and before they had walked a few steps, they suddenly saw the noise of the people in front of them, a big cart was full of firewood, and somehow it burned, and the tail of the old ox pulling the cart was also on fire, burning madly, and rushed in this direction quickly!
There was no owner in the car, and all the soldiers shouted loudly, and the beasts went crazy, how to understand the soldiers' intimidation. The old cow frantically moved forward, knocked a soldier in an instant, stepped on his feet, and all the soldiers were concerned about saving their lives, and they all flashed aside.
Xiao Buyi frowned, but he didn't move immediately, the moonlight hissed lightly, the hooves stepped lightly on the ground, and without the master's orders, he was actually proud of the old cow.
Yang Wang's horse did not have this concentration, and neighed, Yang Wang shouted: "Protect Lord Xiao!" ”
But the fire ox came very fast and fiercely, and the soldiers didn't have time to intercept it, and they had already reached the horses of Xiao and Yang.
**Xu Shiji Restaurant saw it, couldn't help but stand up, and his heart was Xiao Buyi, not dodging or dodging, but how to deal with it?
Suddenly, a person rode out from behind Xiao Buyi, and with a loud shout, the horse lance stabbed vigorously, and it had pierced the mad cow's chest.
The mad cow was miserable, and he wanted to move forward, but immediately the man was using his arms hard, and he picked it out, and blood sprayed in the air, and the mad cow took off with four hooves, and it had been picked up by the man in the air, but the war horse under his crotch neighed, and he couldn't help but be vigorous, kneeling on all fours, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the dust was everywhere. The man abandoned his horse and threw his feet to the ground, and with a loud shout, he threw the mad bull aside.
The soldiers were shocked, and said in their hearts that this old cow rushed over with a cart, only afraid that there would be a thousand catties of strength, this man used a horse lance to fight the ox, and he was really a god and a man!
The person who rushed out with the lance was Pei Xingyan, he followed Xiao Buyi all the way, guarded Xiao Buyi's side, and saw Xiao Buyi in distress, so he grabbed it first. It's just that he didn't have time to pull out his horse, only to see the ox cart overturned, and two people rushed out from under the car, one sword and one sword, a man and a woman, rushed towards Xiao Buyi and shouted: "The dog official is killed." ”
Pei Xingyan pulled out his knife with his backhand, slashed at the man with the knife, and shouted, "Lord Xiao be careful." ”
The man was taken aback, and saw that Pei Xingyan was holding a lance in one hand, and he still had the strength to draw his knife, so he didn't care about killing Xiao Buyi again, so he hurriedly went to parry, but the woman was on tiptoe, rose in the air, and took Xiao Buyi's chest with a sword.
When Xiao Buyi heard that the dog official was killed, he almost thought that it was Yang Wang who they were going to assassinate, but they just found the wrong target, because he was honest and honest to avenge the people, how could he have a relationship with the dog official? Besides, the two people who came to assassinate each other were quite face-to-face, and they didn't know him.
In a flash, the long sword had reached his chest, and Xiao Buyi could still smile at the assassin and reach out to draw the sword!
When the woman saw Xiao Buyi's smile undiminished, she was stunned, her hand was strengthened, and she couldn't wait to stab Xiao Buyi into a transparent hole with a sword, and suddenly the cold light flashed in front of her, and there was a sound of 'bang', and her hand was a little lighter. The woman was shocked, only to find that the long sword was broken in two, and Xiao Buyi was holding a knife in his hand, and the cold was pressing.
Xiao Buyi sharpened the opponent's long sword with his hand, and swung it twice, the woman's sword was cut in two more, leaving only the hilt in his hand. The assassin's toes fell to the ground, the cold light flashed around her, and at least seven long knives were on her neck, the woman didn't dare to move, turned her head to look at her companions, only to see that Pei Xingyan had already captured the other assassin, and couldn't help but be miserable.
Xiao Buyi asked strangely, "Who is coming, and why did you assassinate?" ”
The woman gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Dog official, this girl will not change her name, she will not change her surname, and Zhai Wushuang, the daughter of Wagang Zhai Rang, is also!" ”
(To be continued)
