The public sitting was two months, and Shang Xiang framed the Xiangyang incident, so that the criminal department presided over the trial, and the public argued calmly, and all the officials were speechless. Shang Xiang was in trouble, and turned to accuse the eldest son Yun of raising troops to save his father, the torture was very urgent, and the body was not fully skinned, or Yun said: "Shang Xiang will want the general's father and son to die, even if he refuses to give in, he can't avoid it, why not respond to it in vain, and avoid his suffering." Yun angrily said: "Death and death, how can you leave a stigma in the world." ”

If the prison fails, the public generals will all be killed, appease the army's heart, and write a letter to protect it, but Yu Mian heard that the public entered the shackles, and raised troops to save it, but blocked it in Jiangling. Shang Xiang blamed the public in this way, and the public was personally persuaded by the letter, Yu Mian got the book, and retreated gloomily, Shang Xiang did not dare to add the crime, thinking that the public ministry would eventually be chaotic and wanted to forgive him.

When the curtain guest Ning Qian heard this, he persuaded Shang Xiang and said: "The general is here, all the generals rely on him, the general is dead, the generals' dependents are all in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no leader, so Hu dares to rebel." Shang Xiangzi Chengye also advised: "It is easy to capture the tiger, but it is difficult to indulge the tiger, since it has become an enemy, it is unforgivable, otherwise, my father and son will die and have no place to be buried." ”

Shang Xiang is decided, late at night into the palace to ask for a secret edict, the lord of the country does not notice, Xu Zhi, is to give the public death with wine, when Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, the country is mourning, the people who serve filial piety and private sacrifices are innumerable.

- History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties; The Legend of Chungmu

December 7th, the wind and snow, this year's winter in the south of the Yangtze River is doubly cold, Jianye City is a bleak, in a corner of the city has been abandoned for a long time in the "Qiao's Garden", the atmosphere is even more cold and solemn, although there are more than a dozen pavilions and pavilions in the garden, but most of them are dilapidated houses that are ventilated everywhere, the cold wind of winter is raging in it, even if the blazing stove is lit, it can not force back the biting cold.

In one of the widest pavilions, the same cold and gloomy, but there was not even a brazier, and the cold wind blew through the cracks in the planks, making the room like an ice cave, but the man who lived here did not seem to notice it, although he was wearing only a gray half-worn cotton robe, but the biting cold did not seem to make him shrink a little. And he was still wearing more than ten pounds of shackles and shackles, a slight movement, it was a clanging sound, and there were red and swollen scars on his wrists and ankles, but the man looked indifferent, as if he didn't care, his eyes were wandering, and he saw the snow flakes drifting into the room from the broken window lattice, the man suddenly showed a smile, walked to the window, stretched out his hand to push open the two broken windows, and looked indifferently at the snowy abandoned garden. Let the snow blow in your face, and the wisps seep into the hairline of your clothes. When he pushed the window to watch the snow, I don't know how many eyes were on him, until he noticed that he had not moved, and the look of vigilance disappeared from those eyes.

At this time, someone outside the door coughed lightly, and then an old man in purple pushed the door in, and behind him was a scholar in a green shirt, holding a food box in one hand and a wine jar in the other. The man was still looking out the window, unconcerned about who was coming. The old man in purple saw this and felt admiration in his heart, if ordinary people were detained in this kind of place for more than a month, I was afraid that he was already dying, not to mention that this person was originally a general, even if he was not clothed and fed, how could he have suffered such suffering, but this person was still iron-clad, he had never heard him say a bitter word, and he had never seen him speak ill of others. If it weren't for Xiangye's instructions, I'm afraid I wouldn't want to torture him like this. The scholar's eyes looked at the man watching the snow by the window, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, he put the food box in his hand aside, took out a sumptuous meal from it, and then took out a fine silver kettle, and a wine crumb, poured a full cup and put it on the table. The old man in purple said respectfully: "General, please eat." ”

Lu Can turned around, although he was imprisoned for several months, which made him look emaciated, and his face was a little sickly, his eyes were still bright, and there was no sadness at the end of the hero. He glanced at the sumptuous wine and food, his eyes swept over the face of the unfamiliar scholar in Tsing Yi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ou said that he personally came to deliver the wine and food today, and he changed his usual life, it is not a cold prison food, presumably Shang Xiang has already made a decision, and today is the time when Lu Mou died." ”

The purple-clothed old man Euro Ning showed shame on his face, Lu Can had also been tortured to extract a confession since he was imprisoned, but Lu Can refused to give in, and the government and the opposition were dissatisfied, so Shang Xiang imprisoned him in Qiao's Garden and forced Lu Yun to confess instead. Shang Weijun is also vicious, knowing that for a high-ranking and powerful person like Lu Can, some silent humiliation can reduce his will, although he may not be able to force Lu Can to submit, but he can humiliate this iron-clad enemy, and he is also satisfied, but unfortunately it backfired, although Lu Can suffered a lot, but in addition to his eyes becoming more and more indifferent, he did not have the slightest intention of giving in.

Euro Ning sighed lightly, and there was an uneasy feeling in his heart, and said: "The general's eyes are like a torch, the lord of the country has issued an order, today is the death of the general, an hour later, the edict of death will be delivered, and the general is an important minister of the court, and he should not be rash when he goes, so he ordered to send wine under him." ”

Lu Can didn't have a look of anger on his face, and looked at Song Yu and said, "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”

Song Yu was stunned, but he didn't expect Lu Can to hear that the limit was imminent, but he was not angry, but he was still interested in asking about his origins, and stepped forward and said: "Song Yu, the grass people, and Shang Xianggongzi are close friends, I heard that the general will go, so I came to see him off, and although the general is in prison, I don't know how many people in Jianye City want to rescue the general, the general situation has not been decided, these people do not dare to do it easily, and now the edict of death has been issued, it is inevitable that the news will be leaked, and I am afraid that someone will know the general situation and come to rob the prison, so let the Ou seniors come to ambush in person, Although the grass people are mediocre in martial arts, they are fortunate to be appreciated by Shang Xiang and Ou seniors, so they should come here. ”

Euro Ning frowned, although what Song Yu said was not false, Shang Weijun was worried that someone would rob the prison, so he added many masters to guard Qiao's Garden, and it was for this reason that Song Yu came here, but he didn't have to hide it, so he said it bluntly.

When Lu Can heard this, he felt that this Song Yu's surname was straightforward and uninhibited, and said with a smile: "That's the case, you can accompany Lu to have a few drinks and wait for the edict to come." ”

Song Yu looked at Euro Ning, and Euro Ning said in his heart, this Song Yu's kung fu is excellent, with him here, even if there is any change, he can also kill Lu Can first, and he still needs to arrange the defense of the garden, the people in Fengyi Gate are outsiders after all, it is difficult to trust, it is better to inspect it himself. Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Since the general has this Yaxing, Song Yu should obey his fate." After that, he took out the key and removed the shackles for Lu Can with his own hands, and said, "General, please drink slowly, the old man will go down first." After saying that, he gave Song Yu a look, Song Yu nodded slightly, and Ou Ning turned around and walked out.

Lu Can removed the shackles, his body was much more relaxed, he walked to the table and raised the wine, drank it all, and said: "Good wine, you can also sit down, you can't drink without company, it's too lonely to be alone." ”

Song Yu glanced at the room, took a notched teacup, and after a full glass of wine, he poured a full cup for Lu Can, raised his glass and said: "If you can get the wine from the general, the grass people will be honored and favored." "It's all in one go.

Lu Can smiled slightly, sipped the wine, smiled calmly, and slowly asked about Song Yu's life experience, but Song Yu did not hide it, except for the fact that he belonged to the secret camp, he never leaked it, and even talked about the things that had been a killer. However, between a few words, Song Yu felt that the general in front of him was amiable and sincere, which made people feel like a spring breeze and a feeling of drinking alcohol, but Lu Can also felt that although this young man often had an angry and depressed look, he was also talented. ”

Song Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said: "The general was falsely accused by Shang Xiang, and the lord of the country issued an edict to die, did he not even complain at all, and even persuaded the grass people to serve the country?" ”

Lu Can said indifferently: "I am not a sage, how can I have no complaints, but grievances are resentful, Lu is loyal to the country but does not change slightly, after my death, Shang Xiang will definitely squeeze out and suppress Lu's old department, I see that Song Gongzi is quite talented, and he has the trust of Shang Xiang, if he can lead the army into battle, it is also the luck of the country and the luck of the soldiers." After that, the words changed, but he talked about some of his experiences in leading the army in the past.

Song Yu became more and more amazed in his heart, thinking that he was adhering to Jiang Zhe's order, and made several words to assassinate him, this person has reached the point where he is today, and he can't help but feel guilty in his heart, and he can't help but feel guilty in his heart, and he heard Lu Can's eloquent words, and he actually had the intention of teaching the art of war, and finally couldn't help but bow down to the ground and said: "The general is so loving, he is ashamed and embarrassed, and the general is killed, and the grass people are not guilty, how dare they listen to the lessons again." ”

Lu Can was a little shocked when he heard this, although this young man was valued by Shang Weijun, he was probably not qualified to give advice, how could he say that?

Seeing Lu Can's expression, Song Yu became more and more remorseful, and opened his mouth to speak, but remembered that even if he said that he knew about this person, it was just sprinkling salt on the wound, which was harmful and useless, and his expression was gloomy, and he said: "The general is drinking, and the grass people are waiting outside." ”

Lu Can's expression darkened, and he said, "Since that's the case, you can go." Seeing Song Yu walk out of the door, he smiled bitterly and raised his eyes to look out of the window, but after a while, the snow outside the window became more and more blurry, fluttering with the wind, like a dream, and in a trance I couldn't help but think of the old past, one by one, all of which were unforgettable.

Suddenly, in the midst of the snow shadow, there was a sudden sound of the piano, and the sound of the piano was like flying snow, inextricably linked, pervasive, arrogant and cold, unpredictable, Lu Can only felt that his mind was fluctuating with the sound of the piano, his blood was surging, and his heart was shocked, and he walked to the window in a few steps, letting the snowflakes hit his face, and then he calmed down, and looked at the garden with blazing eyes. But I saw that there were blood splashes from time to time in the vast snow and mist, like red plums blooming, and the sound of fighting one after another, screams, and the sound of blades colliding followed, disturbing this quiet snow scene.

Lu Can knew that someone had come to rob the prison, and he had doubts in his heart, all the old departments had been strictly ordered by him, and they were absolutely not allowed to come to Jianye to make trouble, who would come to rob the prison, just what Song Yu said, he only thought that Shang Weijun was suspicious, and he didn't expect that someone would really rob the prison. Listening carefully, I felt that the sound of killing came from all directions, and the attackers were quite methodical, not like a rabble, but the progress was difficult, obviously Shang Weijun also laid heavy troops here, intending to kill all the people in the future. Lu Can's mind was racing, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition, it could be that someone was left and right from it, wanting to make all the heroes of Nanchu die here. Only now, only by stepping forward and ordering those who came to rob the prison to retreat immediately, can this catastrophe be avoided.

Thinking of this, Lu Can jumped out of the window and walked towards the place where the killing sound was loudest, at this moment he removed the shackles, although his vitality was greatly injured by months of captivity, but he was still vigorous. Unexpectedly, as soon as he fell into the snow, a man stood in front of him, and a folding fan opened and closed in his way. Lu Can looked at Song Yu, who had a cold expression, and shouted: "Get out of the way, General Ben must not let me Nan Chu Junjie kill each other." ”

Although Song Yu admired Lu Can for seeing the mystery so quickly, and was not blinded by the idea of survival, but thinking of the strict order he had received, that is, to leave Lu Can here, and he must not let him stop this tragedy that was doomed to both defeats, his eyes flashed fiercely, and said: "The grass people are ordered, and the general is not allowed to leave here for a single step. ”

Lu Can's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said, "Are you a Chu person or a Yong person?" ”

Song Yu's heart trembled, but he raised his head and said: "Song was born in Nanchu and grew up in Nanchu. ”

Lu Can saw through the implicit meaning of his words, and sneered: "But you don't think you are a Chu person, but yes, if it weren't for that, why did you stop Lu Mou's good intentions to quell the fighting." ”

Song Yu said in his heart: "If the general goes at this moment, he will definitely not escape the poisonous hand, if he stays here, if he comes to win, the general can still survive, isn't it the best of both worlds, why bother to kill himself." After that, he waved his fan to attack, Lu Can was not good at this kind of Jianghu technique, he was trapped by Song Yu, he couldn't get out, and the more he felt a chill in his heart, thinking that even if he gave up his life to die, he couldn't avoid the scourge of civil strife, and between his fists, the more desperate thoughts occurred.

Dozens of feet away, Euro Ning stood in the snow, his hands clenched, facing the white-clothed and masked figure sitting upright on the piano, his eyes were about to split. Just a moment ago, the attack was sudden, and Euro Ning almost watched this person break through the crowd, but fortunately, this person seemed to be alone, but he rushed into Qiao's garden alone. Euro Ning ordered everyone to refuse, and chased after him personally, but he didn't expect that person to be so ruthless, more than ten guards who stayed in the garden were easily taken by this person, and what was even more hateful was that this person actually sat in the snow and stroked the qin, the sound of the qin was like a sharp blade, and the sound seemed to cut off his liver and intestines, and there were two of his disciples among the corpses on the ground, who were in the prime of their youth, but now they have died tragically in front of them. Ou Ning wanted to make a move repeatedly, but when he saw the man in white sitting on the snow and stroking the piano, he looked completely defenseless, but he felt that there were no flaws in the man's body, and he was completely unsure, so he couldn't help but hate in his heart. Ou Ning was thinking about who this person was, Jiang Nan had never heard of such a master, while looking for an opportunity to make a move, his heart became more and more depressed, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly found that the snowflakes in the surrounding zhang Xu Fangyuan were dancing with the sound of the piano, which was very different from the flying snow a few zhang away, and suddenly understood that the sound of the person's piano had formed a net and locked himself, if he didn't make a move, he would just die.

There was a will to die in his heart, and he roared wildly, and the energy on Euro Ning's body surged, and those weird snowflakes scattered in an instant, and he suddenly felt that the pressure on his body was light, and he didn't hesitate, and he hit out with a palm, and threw himself at the man in white, the palm wind was stirring, and the snowflakes splashed, and the man laughed a long time, and got up to meet him, and a voice came from Ou Ning's ears and said: "The kung fu of hurting the enemy with the sound of the piano is still not successful after all, just see that you can take a few tricks from me!" Before the voice stopped, Euro Ning felt that the man had a palm in front of him, and in the long sleeves flying, a white right hand was hidden in the sleeve, wanting to send it. There was a loud bang, and the palms intersected through the sleeves of the man's clothes, and the sleeves of the man's clothes shattered like butterflies. Ou Ning only felt that the person's internal strength was ethereal, and this palm seemed to hit the air, but the man also retreated in shock, and said: "What a cotton palm, it seems to be feminine and strong, and one palm actually has nine gravity Dao, which is worthy of being a hidden needle in the cotton." ”

Ou Ning was slightly sure in his heart, although this person's martial arts are incredible, but it may not be much stronger than himself, but his martial arts are strange and unpredictable, so he made himself at a loss for a while and fell behind. Song Yu's voice faintly came from his ears, thinking that he was blocking Lu Can, if he missed, wouldn't it be a catastrophe to let this person save Lu Can. Thinking of this, he had no concealment at all, and attacked the man in white with all his might.

In fact, although the man in white is better than Euro Ning in terms of realm knowledge, but Euro Ning's internal strength is profound, old and strong, and it is not easy for the man in white to win. In the agitation of the palm wind fist shadow, the flying snow fluttered with it, and the figures of the two were entangled together, except for the purple clothes of Euro Ning, who could still see a glimmer of shadows, the figure in white had already blended with the flying snow, regardless of each other.

In the snow shadow, there was a staggered whistle in the ears of the man in white, and he was shocked, knowing that the heroes of the rivers and lakes who came with him had been killed and wounded more than half, and he could no longer entangle with this old man, he took a deep breath, and the figure that had been rushing towards Euro Ning suddenly stopped, volleyed a palm, and the flying snow came to his face, and Euro Ning was stunned for a moment, and then saw Venus looming in the snowflakes, and tried his best to dodge, but he couldn't dodge it, only to feel a sharp pain in his ribs, and reached out to touch it, only to feel the blood gushing, at this time, a black shadow suddenly flew out of the sleeve of the man in white, Like a dragon whirling dance, it instantly wrapped around Euro Ning's neck. Euro Ning shouted, hating the shameless plot of the man in white, regardless of life and death, he slapped it with one palm, this time he fought with all his strength, and the man in white failed to completely dodge, and the palm slapped on the shoulder of the man in white. The man in white took advantage of the situation to retreat, like a meteor and lightning, Euro Ning was dragged by the long whip, only to feel that he couldn't breathe, and he was also dragged forward, and the man retreated only a few feet, and had already reached the bottom of a big tree. Euro Ning was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't care about the whip on his neck getting tighter and tighter, and he tried his best to hit the man in white with one palm, but unexpectedly, the figure in white stopped suddenly, went straight up against the trunk of the tree, flew over the horizontal branches, and fell sharply. In an instant, the movement turned into stillness, and Euroning's tall body swayed in the wind, his limbs hung limply, his neck was broken, and he was strangled to death on a tree in the garden.

The man in white coughed lightly, lifted his veil, and spat a mouthful of blood on the snow, as red as a plum petal, he sighed: "This person is really a good opponent, but it's a pity that I don't have time to have a good fight with you, and you must not be willing to die like this." With that, he withdrew his whip, and Euroning's body fell to the ground, causing snow and dust to fill the sky. The man in white walked back to his place, picked up the guqin, which was almost hidden by the snow, and walked towards the garden without looking at the corpses lying all around.

Lu Can only felt the blood in his chest surge, panting, these tortures since the beginning of the day, so that he can no longer be able to fight against this young man Song Yu, but more than a hundred moves, he can no longer support, seeing that this young man is still full of energy, he couldn't help but sigh softly, withdrew from the battle circle, leaned against the wall, and said: "Who are you, if you are really Shang Weijun's henchman, you should kill me now, see that you have no killing intent, is it really as I expected, you are actually Yongren." ”

Song Yu said lightly: "The general is too worried, I am not a Yongren." The words were said lightly, but his gaze seemed to look through the endless snow, looking into the unfathomable depths.

At this time, the man in white had already approached, his gaze swept over Lu Can, and stayed on Song Yu for a moment, Song Yu's heart trembled, and he quietly retreated behind Lu Can, although he didn't know who this person was, but he knew that since this person could pretend to be the master of Tianji Pavilion, he must be a confidant of Mr., so he couldn't help but be frightened in his heart, but at this moment, Lu Can was more able to reassure him. The man in white didn't say anything, and the figure suddenly retreated, disappearing in the snow. Lu Can's eyes flashed with surprise, he glanced back at Song Yu, and saw that he was faintly uneasy in his silence, and Lu Can's heart moved slightly.

Outside Qiao's Garden, in addition to Shang Weijun's henchmen and warriors, there are also some female swordsmen in strong suits, and their leaders have two people, both of whom are covered with light gauze, one is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the other is dressed in green clothes, the sword aura is like frost, back and forth, attacking one side, I don't know how many people died in their hands, until Ding Ming stopped these two people with the strength of one person, and the situation was stabilized. Ding Ming quickly recognized the swordsmanship of these two women, Fengyimen has been in Jiangnan for several years, and Ding Ming has also seen their swordsmanship, but now in a battle, Ding Ming really saw the power of Fengyimen. The two women combined their swords, the sword momentum was like a dragon, vertical and horizontal, gorgeous and ruthless, if it weren't for Ding Ming who was also a master of swordsmanship, it would be really difficult to match.

After two moments of fighting, Ding Ming found that his side suffered heavy casualties, if it weren't for the battle formation honed in the Wuyue battlefield, it would be really difficult to win against these wealthy eagle dogs, and now the enemy reinforcements have not arrived, firstly, Qiao's Garden is remote, and secondly, there are many people who respect Lu Can in the forbidden army, and they were secretly persuaded and dissuaded by the manpower arranged by Ding Ming, and deliberately delayed, but if the time is too long, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the reinforcements. Just when he was anxious, a man in white slowly came out of the garden, and without seeing how he moved, he floated behind the woman in gorgeous clothes like a flying flotsam, and struck it with one palm. The woman felt that the wind was like a sharp blade behind her palm, and she tried her best to dodge, although she avoided this palm, but she could no longer fight with her companion with a sword, and the woman in Tsing Yi was originally concentrating on joining forces with her companion, but this time it was a big flaw. Ding Ming screamed softly, the sword was like a rainbow, blood splashed, the delicate body of the woman in green clothes shook, and the blood instantly penetrated her clothes and fell to the ground.

Ding Ming did not hesitate, his body and sword were united, and then he flew towards the woman in the fancy clothes, and the woman in the fancy clothes saw her companion on the ground, exclaimed, turned around and fled, but Ding Ming's sword was devastated, and it never returned, and it was actually stabbed into the woman's vest alive. The woman in the gorgeous suit screamed in pain, and with a backhand sword, it was like a lightning flash, Ding Ming only felt that the sword light flashed in front of him, and the sword had already come to his heart, he abandoned the sword and retreated, but the sword momentum was like a bone attached, and it was about to pierce his heart, but it stopped abruptly, and it was a black long whip that entangled the sword body. Ding Ming breathed a sigh of relief and looked along the long whip, only to see that it was the master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion who came to the rescue. At this time, the delicate body of the woman in gorgeous clothes slowly fell to the ground. Ding Ming felt a chill in his heart, and said in his heart, just looking at this dying sword, this woman's swordsmanship is actually not much weaker than herself, if she is willing to muster up the courage to fight with herself, she will never be defeated so quickly, the female swordsman of Fengyimen really lives up to her reputation.

Ding Ming was thinking wildly in his heart, and there was a cracked piano sound in his ears, he was shocked, but he saw the man in white pointing to the garden, although he couldn't see his expression, but he obviously showed a look of hesitation, Ding Ming couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and he didn't care that there was still a battle outside, and followed the man in white to the garden. Before coming, there was an appointment in advance, Ding Ming needed to persuade Lu Can to agree to leave Jianye with them, but he was blocked outside for a long time, Ding Ming almost forgot about it, hurriedly went over and pulled out his long sword, turned around and walked towards the park, the man in white flashed his eyes, and saw that there was still a stalemate outside, so he walked into the park.

When Ding Ming walked into the garden with the man in white, the female swordsman of Fengyimen had already seen the two leaders fall to the ground, and the two women in strong suits abandoned the fighting enemies and ran over with their swords, the woman in the Chinese clothes was already cold and had no breath, but the woman in the green clothes was just unconscious, when the two hurriedly wrapped her wounds and took medicine, the woman in the green clothes finally woke up slowly, her eyes stopped for a moment on the woman in the Chinese clothes, her eyes were full of grief and despair. A woman in a strong suit whispered, "Seventh girl, or let's retreat quickly." The words were full of fear. The woman in Tsing Yi shook her head and said: "We have no way back, first carry the body of the second sister to the side, you all go, don't let go of a person who comes to attack, cast the signal for help on the second sister, and call the disciples in the city to come to the rescue." The female swordsman burst into tears when she heard this, walked back to the woman in gorgeous clothes, took out a small ball wrapped in mulberry paper from her, shook her wrist and threw it into the air, the small ball was shaken, sparks flew, and split from it, and a flame rose to the sky, turning into a colorful phoenix in mid-air, and it made a sound like a phoenix, which shocked the cold night. The woman in Tsing Yi closed her eyes slightly, tears rolled down, and said in a low voice: "Second sister, third sister, you all went like this, why do I have to live so hard." The cold gradually hit, and the consciousness of the woman in Tsing Yi slowly dissipated, and the tears had turned into two lines of frost, condensing on her cheeks like beautiful jade.

Lu Can stood in the snow, although the snow on his body was very thick, he had no intention of wiping, Song Yu stood behind him, it seemed to be protection, and it seemed to be surveillance, hearing the faint sound of fighting in his ears, Lu Can felt at a loss in his heart, knowing that it was impossible to stop the bloody battle in front of him, Lu Can quietly waited for the end of the moment, and also waited for the arrival of the edict of death, as long as he stayed here, then no matter who the conspiracy was, it could not be carried out smoothly.

After a while, I saw two people coming in the snow, and one of them came close and bowed down: "Ding Ming knocked on the general, please follow us out of the city, there are armor soldiers outside the city to answer, and the carriage and horses have been prepared, and there are guards along the way, so you can go straight to the army." ”

Lu Can's gaze only swept over Ding Ming, but he looked at the man who was dressed in white, his face was covered with a white veil, and even his eyes were covered with a light veil, and he said lightly: "Who is Your Excellency and why are you involved in this matter." Although the snow was blinding, Lu Can also knew that if this person hadn't killed Ou Ning, Ding Ming and the others would definitely not have broken into the garden, so Fang asked the purpose of the man in white.

Ding Ming was shocked, worried that the man in white would be angry, but the man in white just said lightly: "Brother Ding and I have an old relationship, and I am begging each other, so I will come to the rescue, otherwise even if the general has contributed to the people of the society, what does it have to do with us, the grass people." ”

When Lu Can heard this, he felt relieved in his heart, and said in his heart, if he didn't have the intention to save me, he wouldn't worry about what conspiracy he had. Turning his eyes to look at Ding Ming, he sighed: "Why should Ding Daxia bother so much, Lu Mou's life and death don't matter, but you are the leader of Wu Yue's righteous army, if there is a mistake, won't Dinghai take advantage, you better go back to Wu Yue quickly, don't get involved in these court affairs." ”

Ding Ming said loudly: "The general's words are wrong, Ding is just a man from the rivers and lakes, if I die, someone else can lead the righteous army, but if there is no general to command Ruoding, how can I resist the iron cavalry of the Yongjun army, how can the general sit back and watch the Yongjun go south, and be willing to be killed by the annihilator." ”

Lu Can smiled bitterly: "Brother Ding, you are kind-hearted, but Lu's life and death no longer matter, even if I can escape from Jianye, I will become a rebel, and when the time comes, Shang Xiang will inevitably order the purge of my old department, and civil strife in Nanchu will start, does Brother Ding want me to lead the army to rebel?" Instead of causing civil strife and killing each other, it is better for Lu to obey the law and die, there are righteous men who sacrifice their lives for the country, and Nanchu can still be safe and sound, and in a few years, there may be someone better than Lu who can go north to the Central Plains, so that the Yongjun can not go south from now on. ”

Ding Ming burst into tears when he heard this, and said: "The general is for the country and the people, the saddle horse is tired, and he forgets to die, and he still thinks of the people of Sheji, what he did is really outrageous, if the general leaves Jianye, avoids the army, and then writes to ask for forgiveness, or can also avoid civil strife, if the general does not leave, we would rather die here, and refuse to leave like this." ”

Lu Can smiled slightly, and said: "Lu Mou's life and death are small, and the safety of his family and country is at stake, Shang Xiang must have planted assassin henchmen in Lu's old department, once Lu escapes, I am afraid that they will all be killed, and the families of the sergeants and soldiers are all in the south of the river, once Shang Xiang suspects that they are rebelling, they will be the end of the family's ruin, how can it be Lu Mou's people, and these soldiers under his command will be harmed." Brother Ding, don't say more, go ahead, Lu will never escape from Jianye. ”

At this time, the man in white said coldly: "Why bother talking nonsense, just knock him out and take him away." As soon as the words fell, I saw a cold light shoot out of Lu Can's deep eyes, and the originally peaceful and calm momentum instantly became fierce and domineering, it was a kind of general temperament that could be matched by thousands of people in the bloody battle on the battlefield, but the look on his face was so indifferent, standing with his hands behind his back, Lu Can said coldly: "Do you really think that you can do whatever you want with your martial arts?" ”

The white-clothed people trembled, their eyes looked through the light veil, and they stared at Lu Can's face for a moment, seeing that his eyebrows were all about rather jade than being complete, he sighed lightly and said: "The general doesn't want to make Nanchu civil strife, but it's just a dream, no matter what, this civil strife is inevitable, the general only needs to agree, I will definitely be able to leave Jianye with the general, and when the time comes, whether it is to return to the army to raise troops, or to escape the rivers and lakes, I can realize the general's wishes." Doesn't the general think about his family, under the nest, there are no eggs, even if the general is willing to die, Shang Weijun will never let go of the general's family. ”

Lu Can's gaze did not weaken in the slightest, although the words of the man in white were sharp, they did not leave a mark on his heart, all of which he had thought clearly about ten years ago. He didn't argue, just smiled with firm indifference, and then raised his hand, and the two fingers in the middle of the food pierced his chest like a sharp blade, and blood gushed out, although the finger only pierced a point, and did not hurt the vital point, but his meaning was clear.

Not to be surprised by Lu Can's finger power, Ding Ming almost immediately got up and retreated, retreating more than ten steps in a row, his eyes were full of sorrow, and he said in a trembling voice: "General, Ding Ming obeys orders." ”

Lu Can looked at the man in white with indifferent eyes, the light in the man in white flickered, Lu Can smiled slightly, his fingers were forced, and blood gushed out, the man in white could feel Ding Ming's pleading gaze, and he also knew that if he made a move immediately, he might be able to stop Lu Can from killing himself, but Lu Can had made up his mind, even if he was rescued, the result would not be the same, not to mention that if he was allowed to die outside in the name of rebellion, it would be better to let him die here, which could be regarded as his loyalty. What's more, that person had already said that he would leave Lu Can a choice. With a slight sigh, the figure of the man in white disappeared into the snow, as if he had come.

Lu Can's heart was relieved, knowing that the situation was finally under his control, he looked at Ding Ming, and said lightly: "Brother Ding, let's go, don't add more casualties, don't kill each other, make Yongren happy, but also pay attention to the people around you, Yongren is the best at using the room, you have to be careful." Although he also wanted to warn Ding Ming to be careful of Song Yu behind him and the man in white of unknown origin, he also knew that if he said it too clearly, he was afraid that Ding Ming would not be able to give birth to Jianye.

Watching Ding Ming hide his face and retreat, a wisp of piano sound suddenly came from the snow, the piano sound was poignant, faintly there was a sense of farewell, Lu Can suddenly had a strange idea in his heart, this piano sound must have been heard by himself, or it was not this song, but the arrogant and cold connotation hidden in the piano was the same, but he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this, he was not good at music, how could he hear the similarities and differences in the piano sound. Pulling out his fingers, letting the blood drip down, and brushing away the snow on his body, Lu Can walked indoors, poured a glass of wine, raised his glass and said: "But the king is the world, and he has won the name before and after his death." Poor white happens. It's a pity that I haven't fulfilled my wish yet, and I'm going to be ruined. Song Yu, why don't you go together, don't you think I haven't seen through your disguise? If it weren't for you, I was afraid that the man in white or Ding Ming would kill you first. ”

Song Yu said lightly: "Why did the general say this, Song was ordered to protect the general and try to prevent the general from leaving here, and later it was the general who interceded, so that those people did not kill me, the general sacrificed his life and did not escape, I think it is also because of Gu Nian's dedication to his duties, so there is more favor, right?" ”

Lu Can couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and regardless of the blood flowing, he raised his glass and said: "Well said, it's rare for you to be so intelligent, let's say, what does you have to do with my mentor Jiang Zhe?" I think that only Mr. can do such a thing, and use Lu's life and death so thoroughly, a talent like you, I'm afraid that you are also Mr.'s doorman, right? ”

Song Yu's expression moved slightly, looked at Lu Can's down-to-earth expression, and said in a low voice: "I am a disciple of Mr. Unscrupulous, I have already betrayed the door wall, thanks to Mr. Kindness, I have never taken my surname, this time I was ordered to slander and harm the general, I feel ashamed, even if the general tells this matter, I don't blame the general." ”

Lu Can frowned lightly and said, "I heard that you seem to have resentment in your tone, it could be that you have a grudge against Mr., but if this is the case, why are you acting on his orders?" ”

Song Yu's eyes swept outward, and he had already seen the signal for help from Fengyimen, and knew that someone would come in to check soon, so he whispered: "I have old grudges with Mr., but Mr. doesn't know, but if I think about it carefully, I can't blame Mr., and Mr. is kind and friendly, so I can't refuse Mr.'s order, but I hurt the general, I am very uneasy, the general is loyal, and the surname is like the light wind and the moon, and I feel remorse in this life." ”

Lu Can sighed: "It's none of your business, Mr. is just adding fuel to the fire, even if there is no strategy from him, in a few years, this catastrophe will be inevitable, but originally I thought that I could first complete the long-cherished wish of going north to the Central Plains, so that the Yongjun Iron Cavalry could not watch Jiangnan, I only hated that this day came too early after all." I now understand that when the city is above the valley, Mr. strokes the piano, not to retreat from the enemy, but to say goodbye, after a song, never to see again, this is what Mr. means. ”

At this time, Song Yu had already heard a sound of feet in his ears, and he hurriedly coughed lightly and said, "General, do you want to wrap up your injuries?" ”

Lu Can rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want to stay in Jianye in the future?" ”

Song Yu understood in his heart, and said in a low voice: "This matter is over, there is no need to worry about it, and I will never get involved in the dispute between the north and the south again." ”

Lu Can smiled slightly, nodded and said: "That's good, I believe you are not lying, otherwise even if you are so sincere and earnest to me, I can only take your surname, if I say a few words, Shang Weijun would rather believe it, if I see Mr. again, please thank you for me." ”

Song Yu said in a low voice: "Thank you for the generosity of the general, if there is a chance, I will definitely tell you." Just as he was about to say something more, he saw a figure flickering out of the corner of his eye, and he silently stopped speaking.

At this time, the reinforcements had already entered the garden, but it was Shang Chengye who was at the forefront, and behind him were all sergeants with armor, presumably he personally brought the reinforcements to Qiao's Abandoned Garden, after all, Lu Can's life and death were the closest to their father and son. Behind Shang Chengye, there were several scarlet-clad waiters, holding the holy decree wine in their hands, but they met on the road and rushed over together. Seeing Lu Can sitting there drinking, Shang Chengye breathed a sigh of relief, stopped moving, glanced at Song Yu, showed appreciation in his eyes, and motioned for him to withdraw.

Song Yu hid the sadness in his eyes, walked out of the room, and stood behind Shang Chengye, only to see the scarlet waiter screaming the decree, Song Yu did not belong to his mind, and suddenly only heard the words "give death" and "abandon the city". Then through the open door, he watched Lu Can pour a glass of wine with a smile, looked around at everyone with clear and gentle eyes, stayed on himself for a moment longer, and then raised his glass to drink despite the blood stains on his chest. Song Yu's eyes were blurred, and he quietly took a step back, only to feel as if his life had passed away with Lu Can's suicide.
