Chapter Seventy-One: The Storm of Luojing (15)
Zhang Rang and the others didn't walk very fast because they were old and had two children. On my side, because Lu Zhi is over half a hundred years old, his physical strength is not very good, so it is a little slow to walk and rest all the way. But it's not a big problem, in general the speed of the two of us is not slower than they are walking with two children, and I guess we will be able to catch up by about night.
Seeing that it was almost evening, he still hadn't been able to see the shadow of the eunuch, and at this time Lu Zhi was already tired and exhausted. In other words, it is difficult for him to walk dozens of miles in one breath, and it is difficult for him to be so old, even if he is an ordinary young man, he is not very able to bear it.
saw Lu Zhi sitting on the stone next to him and said, "Oh, the old body is no longer good, I really can't walk." ”
I couldn't help but say, "Just hold on, and you'll catch up." ”
Lu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Virtuous nephew, the old body is old, and his body is close to the land of decaying wood, which is not as good as you young people; I think, you better chase it alone, but don't let the old body drag you down. ”
I looked at him and said, "Okay, but you have to be careful when you're here alone, as there may be wild beasts here at night." ”
Lu Zhi said: "It's okay, there is just a post house nearby, the old man can stay in the post house for a while, and by the way, let the post envoy go overnight to summon the civil and military ministers to come to welcome the Son of Heaven." ”
The implication of Lu Zhi's words is that he thinks that I will definitely be able to save Liu Wei and Liu Xie. So, I nodded and said, "Okay, I got it." ”
After that, I went after the eunuch alone. At this time, without Lu Zhi's drag, my speed immediately increased a lot. When I ran all the way to the bank of the Yellow River, I finally found the traces of the eunuchs, and by this time it was already dark.
From afar, I shouted, "You dead eunuchs who have brought disaster to the country and the people, where do you want to flee after you have done bad things!" ”
When Zhang Rang and the others heard that someone was chasing after them, they couldn't help but be shocked immediately. Within minutes, I was able to catch up. When Zhang Rang saw that I was the only one chasing after him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Who are you?" ”
I replied, "Good man." ”
Zhang Rang couldn't help but be stunned, and then sneered: "Good guy? Hmph, soon our family will turn you into a dead man; Go, slaughter this kid for our family! ”
"No!" But when I saw that Zhang Rang instructed several little yellow doors next to him to come forward to kill me, I couldn't help but pull the corners of my mouth, just a few rotten sweet potato and stinky bird eggs, and they still want to kill me? Bite off more than one can chew.
I stabbed a few times in succession, and I used the first form of the Peerless Ten Styles, "Shadow Sink". I saw a few murderous flashes in a row, and before the little yellow door could react, I immediately stabbed a bloody hole in the neck. The location of the blood hole happened to be on their arteries, and they saw that the hot blood was spurting out.
This scene frightened Liu Wei and Liu Xie, and at this moment, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned when they watched the few people in front of them fall down so upright. It seemed that the brothers should have seen this kind of bloody killing scene for the first time, and they were inevitably a little frightened.
I couldn't help but look at Zhang Rang, and immediately teased: "How about it, you old eunuchs, do you want to use the martial arts in the "Sunflower Treasure Book" to learn?" ”
Zhang Rang swallowed his saliva, and said with a frightened face: "What, what is the "Sunflower Treasure Book", we don't understand what you are talking about. ”
I laughed and said, "It's okay if you don't understand; Are you going to tie yourself up now, or do you want me to tie you back? ”
The old eunuchs couldn't help but be stunned, and then Duan Jue on the side suddenly turned his face and asked with a smile: "Hehe, I don't know the name of this strong man, why haven't we seen you in our family?" ”
I said, "Well, my name is Uh-Min Gong." ”
Duan Jue couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Min Gong? I haven't heard of it, what position do you hold in the DPRK? ”
I said, "I don't serve in the imperial court, I'm the Zuojun Sima under the former general Dong Zhuo." ”
Duan Jue couldn't help but smile and said, "I see; Little brother, our family will discuss with you, our family will divide half of your wealth and goods, and you will let a few of our family have a way out, how about it? ”
I couldn't help but groan and asked, "How many?" ”
Duan Jue smiled: "There are a lot, I can't count them for a while, anyway, it's enough for you to spend in a few lifetimes." ”
I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, but said, "I can't see that your methods of accumulating wealth are quite double-handed, and the people's money probably goes into your pockets, right?" ”
Duan Qi said: "Where, just this bit of wealth, compared with the first emperor, it is just a small thing; Little brother, what do you think? ”
I touched my chin and said, "It looks like a good deal." ”
But I heard Duan Qi say: "Hey, it's not only a good deal, it's just too cost-effective; You must know that these goods are not earned by ordinary people in a few lifetimes, and you are equivalent to picking up a big bargain for nothing! ”
I nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense; But there's another idea, which may or may not be more cost-effective. ”
Duan Qi was puzzled: "What do you think?" ”
I slightly lowered the corners of my mouth and said, "If I kill you all, all the goods will be mine, wouldn't it be more cost-effective for me?" ”
The old eunuchs couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, and then Duan Jue smiled and said, "Little brother, aren't you joking?" ”
My face immediately changed, and I reprimanded, "Who Nima is in the mood to tell you jokes here!" You dead eunuchs, still think that Lao Tzu is as rare as you This stinky money! ”
Duan Jue was scolded by me, his face turned blue in an instant, and he couldn't say anything in a daze. At this time, Liu Xie, who was on the side, suddenly said faintly: "What does this matter have to do with "Lao Tzu"? ”
I couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately looked at him and said, "The 'Lao Tzu' I'm talking about is your father, and your father is 'Lao Tzu'." ”
Liu Xie couldn't help but nodded and said, "Oh, this matter does seem to have something to do with my father, but my father was buried two months ago, and it's useless to look for him; Now that the royal brother has inherited the canon, if you want to find it, you can find the imperial brother. ”
I immediately laughed, you little prince did it on purpose. At this time, Liu Wei on the side suddenly hid behind Liu Xie and said, "Don't look for me, I'm afraid." ”
Well, I was so defeated by the innocence of these two children. Then I said, "Okay, no more nonsense, do you want to be arrested, or do you have to press you back?" ”
But when he saw Zhang Rang, he immediately sighed: "Alas, even if you go back, you will inevitably be exterminated by the family, rather than all of them die, it is better for our family to do it ourselves to save trouble." ”
Immediately, Zhang Rang knelt down towards Liu Wei, and the others also knelt down when they saw this. But I heard Zhang Rang say: "Your Majesty, the old slaves have served the Han family for decades, and they have been conscientious and dedicated. Now the fate of the old slaves is not because the old slaves and others are disloyal, but because of the resentment of those party members; Now the old slaves can no longer serve the Han family, please take care of your majesty. ”
After Zhang Rang finished speaking, several of them bowed to Liu Wei at the same time, then stood up and walked to the bank of the river, and jumped into the rushing river.
In other words, Zhong Chang and others are also loyal ministers of the Han family. However, just because you're a loyal minister doesn't mean you're necessarily a good person. Therefore, it is fundamentally not correct to govern the country according to the Confucian principles of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. Such superficial reasoning cannot really benefit a country's development.
I looked at Liu Wei and Liu Xie on the side, and said, "Okay, the matter is over, and you two should go back to the palace." ”
Liu Xie nodded and said, "Well, I'm sorry for you." ”
I smiled, immediately looked at the baggage that Zhang Rang and the others had fallen on the ground, and walked over to clean it up. Seeing this, Liu Xie couldn't help but squat down and clean up with me. The baggage was full of gold, silver, jewelry and other valuable things, and a total of six or seven burdens weighed more than 100 catties. I don't know how much these goods will be worth, but I guess if they are replaced with copper plates, they can be piled up into a small mountain.
When I was done, I put my baggage on my back and walked with them the way they had traveled.
