Chapter 545: Mountains and Rivers Meet Again
He Ruoque is actually a person who has reached a certain level of pure heart and few desires, which can be seen from the fact that Xie Shence has not seen him "open meat" since he met him. Xie Shence once mistakenly thought that he was as good as Longyang, not unreasonable.
Pure heart and few desires, used in martial arts, is the senior brother and the old Zen master are extremely admired single-minded, can one side of the fine, entering the hall is just the threshold, if it is not for the understanding and intelligence are worried, it is only a matter of time to reach the peak.
He Ruo lacks single-mindedness, understanding and intelligence, so he can become the world's outstanding gun master at the age of less than thirty. And the senior brother has already asserted that before the age of forty, this son will be invincible in the world.
Xie Shenwei was once very angry about this, if it weren't for the old Zen master mellow and said a few good words against his will, Langya Temple would not have been able to live in peace back then. However, Xie Shenwei made a fuss, and after knowing the life experience of He Ruo's brothers and sisters, he was actually a little depressed. As far as he is concerned, there are limited possibilities for him to be able to see the world's masters, but Xie Shenwei can be infinitely close to that level, but there is no time to reach it. He is the master of the horse, and he is the prince of Weihou, the future head of the Xie family, and he can't be distracted. And He Ruoque is different, and there is a sea of blood and hatred, which makes no sense.
When he was a child, He Ruoque was carefree. The little prince of the tribe has an outstanding heart and talent, and some old people will wake up laughing in the middle of the night when they see it, this prince really has not insulted the supreme bloodline of the Great Chu Dynasty. For those people, two hundred years have passed, what the surname is no longer important, the restoration of the country is remembered but far away, and it is already a great blessing to be able to retain the bloodline, not to mention a talented successor?
It's just that He Ruobu's great prosperity has not yet come, because of a news that catches the wind and shadows but hits the right one, He Ruobu was designed by all parties and uprooted. Tens of thousands of people in the whole clan were martyred for the jade seal of the country that had not been seen for two hundred years, and only He Ruo's brothers and sisters were spared.
In all fairness, the time in Jindu and the time in the northwest have made the killing intent in He Ruoque's heart fade a lot, and even now it is not an exaggeration to say that it is dispensable. The days when a hundred taels of gold could allow him to kill his sister with him are gone, and his life is very stable now, and it can be said that the edges and corners have been worn away by comfort.
Don't think about anything else, just because my sister has found a home, and she has a daughter, and she also has a niece, the bloodline of He Ruo's family or the Xiang family has not been broken, and he He Ruo is very relieved.
So when it comes to the end, he He Ruoque is actually still a dull person, it is true that he was forced to practice guns at the beginning, and it is not because he knew his life experience early in his bones, so he can't trust anyone? And in his heart, he really takes the restoration of the country seriously? It's just because you want to be strong, and you instinctively want to protect yourself.
Even if the restoration of the country is successful and the yellow flag of Dachu is erected, can it really be unified at that time? Bullshit! The time and place are not favorable, and the Xiang clan will not have the slightest chance to lurk for another two hundred years, and the longer it drags on, the smaller the hope.
Thinking of this, He Ruoque exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity.
He remembered that Xie Shence seemed to have said that the Later Spring and Autumn Period, like the Spring and Autumn Period, did not fight righteously. It's just that the Taiping world, that is, born out of this great war after war, will be reborn in blood. Wufu used the knife in his hand to kill a sea and sky, and the scholar then used the pen in his hand to write a big national peace and security, in order to continue the century-old national ancestry.
He Ruoque didn't have such great ambitions, he never thought about this, and he didn't want to play such a glorious role as the promoter of the wheel of history, he just wanted to live with peace of mind. I used to think about revenge and kill all the people back then, but now that this mind is light, I don't think about it deliberately, it's better to meet by chance, the enemy really bumped into it, and he killed it directly.
One word is dry. That's what the guy said, too.
Thinking of Xie Shence again, He Ruoque smiled.
Oh, that guy is really a weirdo who is different from ordinary sons of families.
He Ruoque thought of the first time they met, their brothers and their brothers and sisters met each other, but at that time, no one knew who was who, so after Pingshui met, they went their separate ways. After the creation made people, someone paid to buy the heads of the two brothers, and he He Ruoqian was unable to assassinate and was controlled, so there was a scene of doubling the price and rebelling.
The corners of He Ruoque's mouth curled slightly, if it weren't for the power of Xie Shen to stop the killer later, coupled with the tolerance of the Xie family, their brothers and sisters would have become white bones in the mountains and forests.
It was from that time that he decided to fight for happiness for his sister, and to let the young man who was good to him know that I was cultivating a spear in order to share the enmity with my son.
And now, it seems that he really needs this unclothed righteousness.
The corners of He Ruoque's mouth were gentle, and then he found that this attitude made people have goosebumps all over his body.
The next moment, a pig-killing howl resounded through the mountains and forests.
"He Ruoque! If your uncle doesn't make a move, Lao Tzu will be finished! β
"Huh." He Ruoque smiled, and said in his heart that your laziness is still the same as it was back then, and you can obviously hold up another move and a half.
"Snort", the sound of piercing the air sounded slightly, and the hair on the monkey's body exploded instantly, and he instinctively shrank his head with a strange scream, hiding half of his body behind the giant knife, and then flew out upside down.
Cao Baqi flashed behind a big tree for the first time, but his body shape was undecided, and a three-edged arrow was nailed to the tree with his arm, almost eight inches into the tree! The arrowtail does not move.
Cao Baqi, who was covered in a cold sweat, and Ge Monkey, who was flying up quickly after falling to the ground, looked at each other with lightning in their eyes, and their eyes were full of horror.
Such arm strength, such archery, such a rate of fire. How horrible it would be if there was only one person!
When Cao Baqi thought of this, he was terrified and angry in his heart, this archery skill was so outstanding, he was afraid that the lives of those two brothers would not be guaranteed.
As Cao Baqi thought in his heart, he just slowed down for a moment, and then he snorted twice in succession, followed by the sound of falling to the ground and disarming the blade.
Cao Baqi was furious, and the joint of his right hand holding the snake blade knife was already white, the two of them were not from the same village as him, they were very good friends in different mountains, and they would not exchange lives with each other and have a very personal relationship, otherwise they would not still be together when they fled in batches. The dozen or so people who escaped were already about to enter the mountains and forests, but they didn't want to get their shoes wet at this last step.
However, at this time, Cao Baqi could only hide behind a tree, and he couldn't even poke his head out.
A good archer may not play a prominent role in battle, but in small-scale battles, it can often play a decisive role.
Cao Baqi had participated in several large-scale Yan-Jin wars, and knew that in the offensive and defensive battles, although the rain of arrows from the armies of both sides could kill each other, the people who died under the arrows did not account for much of it.
Cao Baqi knew this well, as long as the soldiers with shields were firmly hiding behind the shields, and the generals did not make mistakes in commanding, when and how much the shield angle was strictly enforced, and the formation was not chaotic, the casualties could be minimized.
On the contrary, in the process of rushing back and forth between the two sides, the sharpshooters hidden in the military formation are often able to take the lives of the leading generals by surprise.
Cao Baqi is just a lieutenant, if he doesn't enter the martial arts hall, don't expect to be a general in the border army of the Great Jin Kingdom in this life, Guangzong Yaozu marries a daughter-in-law, even if it is the most worthless Sima in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, it is all a dream. But Cao Baqi is not a general, but he has seen many generals, such as General Huaihua Zhonglang and General Dingyuan of the fourth and fifth grades of the Northern Army, and more of them are relatively inconspicuous generals and captains. And many of these people, after meeting Cao Baqi once, they stuck feather arrows in their heads and mouths and whimpered.
What made Cao Baqi dare not move at the moment, in addition to the archers who didn't know the direction or the number of archers, there was also the extremely chic and elegant young man who was born.
That young man has good martial arts, he can have such kung fu at his age, Cao Baqi has not seen it, Sima Tan, the major general of the Northern Army, and Yuhuating, the general of Zhongwu, are not bad, this person who is obviously a Jin person, if he wants to say that he is the son of a certain family or the general, he Cao Baqi believes, but such a person, how can he not hesitate to take risks for the high-level of Yuchizi in Beiyan?
However, Cao Baqi then thought that the word "risky" was obviously inappropriate, and the two brothers who died were proof of it.
Now that they can't move, as long as the young man rescues the woman, the Imperial Pavilion that is almost in his hands will really slip away.
How? Is it a desperate fight, or is it a temporary retreat and then tracked?
Cao Baqi believed that no matter which one it was, the young man who had been completely liberated would definitely not let him get his wish.
Sure enough, I saw the young man swaggering past him, not caring at all whether he would pounce on him and give him a knife, whistling and throwing a stone at him, his expression was indescribably hateful.
Cao Baqi resisted the urge to swing the knife and ignored the stone, but he didn't want the guy to stop but refused to stop, and threw them one after another, the force was extremely strong and extremely accurate, it was a stone cut out of the ground, stained with soil, and a large piece was lost, Cao Baqi even had to squint his eyes.
Finally, Cao Baqi, who couldn't stand this humiliation, roared, and fought back against the danger of being pierced through the arm by an arrow, but as soon as his big knife poked out, he slapped a piece of earth and stone away, and felt a huge force coming from the knife body, and with a sound of gold and iron, Cao Baqi drew his knife and took a closer look, the big knife of refined steel, the blade of the knife was actually shot out of a small pit.
The three-edged arrow Cao Baqi snorted in a low voice, this is a rare armor-piercing heavy arrow in the army, and it is not a sharpshooter who pierces Yang in a hundred steps and penetrates the double armor dare not use it. It's not because of the limitations of arm strength and general rank, but because the skills are not good, it will only make people laugh.
Cao Baqi, who was in a cold sweat, trembled slightly, not afraid, completely shocked, only he knew how powerful that arrow was, and the snake knife that he held tightly was almost out of his hand at that moment.
It's no wonder that the kudzu monkey was shot by that arrow, and even a person with a knife was shot up.
And the next moment, what made Cao Baqi strange was that the young man who was supposed to continue insulting him did not continue, but picked up the woman on the ground with lightning speed, and then hid behind the big tree like them.
Cao Baqi was slightly puzzled at first, and then his heart was relieved.
It turned out that not only his people were lurking, but there was also a force he didn't know was also secretly firing arrows.
Made, I don't know who is secretly entangled, is so cautious, if I were the first to shoot this grandson with an arrow! Why do you still make him tremble? I was cautious before I saw it, but now I have exposed my horse's feet, and the bamboo basket is water, right?
Regarding his inadvertent use of the word bamboo basket to draw water, Cao Baqi may have forgotten to praise himself because of his nervousness and excitement.
Soon, Cao Baqi, who was standing quietly, heard a scream in the woods.
After a while, the young man began to flee with the woman on his back.
"Good man, it was really helpless to fight before, since Your Excellency has obtained the secret of the Imperial Pavilion, then the mountains and rivers meet again, I invite you to drink. Let's not hold a grudge against each other! β
Cao Baqi was furious again when he heard this.
you! You killed my brother and almost shot me, and you tricked me before leaving, and you still dare to say don't hold grudges? When did Lao Tzu get the secret of the Imperial Pavilion? You make it clear to me! Didn't you roast me on the fire?
At that moment, Cao Baqi scolded, but as soon as he rushed out, several arrows were shot, and he was lucky to toss and turn, otherwise he would have to be like the Northern Army General who had been unaccustomed to seeing before, and he would have stuck a few arrows in his body and went to drink tea with his old friends.
After running for one or twenty miles in one go, Xie Shence only felt that his feet were as heavy as lead, and then he stopped to rest.
"I didn't expect to meet you again."
He Ruoque rolled his eyes at Xie Shence's first sentence after meeting.
"Think I'm you, fragile and die at the touch of it?"
Xie Shence smiled, threw out a handful of herbs, and said, "I pulled two handfuls on the road, and there is a wound on my back, help me put it on." β
He Ruoque took the herb and crushed it and applied it to the wound, and then said, "This woman, what should I do?" β
Xie Shence glanced at Murong Duan, whose wound was still oozing blood, and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do?" This is a bodhisattva, and he has to live a good life. Otherwise, my master, they won't be able to come back. β
He Ruoque frowned, and at that moment Xie Shence said everything that had happened during this timeβof course, omitting certain things that might have happened to Murong Duan.
"According to this point of view, even if there are no other entrances to the Imperial Pavilion in Shannan, there will inevitably be big events, my previous thought is that it is very likely that someone is planning behind the scenes, wanting to clean up a group of people, what do you think?"
He Ruoque said: "How many doors there are in the Imperial Pavilion, in fact, I don't know. In addition to the stone gate that enters, there is also an underwater passage that is impossible to enter from the outside. The passage that can only be found according to the guidance of the mural, since it has been destroyed by you, as far as I know, the Imperial Pavilion is already a dead hole, and it is impossible to enter and exit. β
Thank you for your gloom.
"I don't know if this woman knows some details, though."
He Ruoque obviously didn't have a good impression of Murong Duan, and Xie Shence believed that if he showed that he didn't care about Murong Duan, He Ruoque would definitely kill her as soon as possible. After all, the original fish cavalry was wiped out at the hands of Murong Duan. This not only made He Ruoque, who had a relationship with Yu Yuqi, angry and sad, but also brought great trouble to Xie Shence, who returned to the northwest.
At that moment, Xie Shence looked at Murong Duan, who had not spoken a word since he was rescued, and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, if you know anything, just say it now, even if it is for the sake of me saving your life." Otherwise, my son doesn't mind taking advantage of people's danger, fulfilling his last words, and being a beast."
Murong Duan looked at Xie Shence, who was smiling and smiling, snorted coldly, and said, "Since it is to fulfill the last word, then you can try, I don't mind exchanging your life for an insult." β
