848 Shadow only
"Brother, don't make a hasty decision, there is still a secret letter from the prime minister." Liu Cong said eagerly, and took out a bag from his arms.
"How many things do you have, take them out!" Wang Baoyu said unhappily.
"Nothing else!" Liu Cong said embarrassedly.
Wang Baoyu took the bag and took out a white silk letter from it, only to see Cao Cao write in the letter: "Baoyu, I have traveled thousands of miles, the clouds and smoke are misty, and I am lonely and looking forward to your return, I am sad in my heart, and I can't sleep with tears." The saint is weak, the dynasty is sluggish, and I know that Huangquan Road is not far, if I am not there, the world will be chaotic. I hope you will not resign from the throne of the king of Hanxing, lead the army to the north, and support the Han family, if there are dissident usurpers, you should try your best to eradicate them, and so will my son. ”
Cao Cao meant that Wang Baoyu should lead troops to garrison the north to defend the Han dynasty, even if his son usurped the throne and rebelled, he did not have to show mercy, and he could raise troops to fight.
As a generation of traitors, Cao Cao's letter is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and its original meaning is even more unfathomable, but even if he says it from the bottom of his heart, Wang Baoyu, as a modern person, is also very clear in his heart that the situation of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu is the trend of the times, and history has long been written, and it cannot be changed.
Wang Baoyu put away the holy decree and the letter, sighed, and said resolutely: "I am very touched by the prime minister's love, but I have no intention of being the king for the time being. ”
"Baoyu!" The generals shouted hurriedly, and Wang Baoyu immediately waved his hand to stop their words, and said coldly: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade again." Listen to my orders, and tomorrow morning, the army will return without delay! ”
Until now, everyone can see that Wang Baoyu really has no ambition and is admirable. But even if they stayed, everyone was willing to accompany Wang Baoyu, so the generals pleaded again and again, and some of them had blood in their heads.
Wang Baoyu was determined, he didn't agree, and in desperation, he couldn't bear the hard work of everyone, and ordered that if there was any more persuader, no matter who it was, he would be beheaded!
Cao Zhang and the others could only tearfully sort out their soldiers and horses and prepare to leave.
Wang Baoyu left Xu Shu behind, handed over the letter that had been written, and said at the same time: "Old Xu, give this letter to Cao Cao when you go back, he should be able to send you a small island." ”
"Baoyu, Xu Shu is willing to stay." Xu Shu insisted and did not accept the letter.
"Don't you want to fulfill your wish to practice?"
"In my heart, Baoyu is Xu Shu's famous teacher!"
"You have no future with me." Wang Baoyu said seriously.
"Since I voted for Cao Cao, I have not made an inch, and I have lived a perfunctory life, but this time I have conquered the barbarian four places with you, it is difficult to guarantee Cao Cao's anger, if you are not there, Xu Shu is not only hopeless on the island, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect myself!" Xu Shu said frankly.
"Lao Xu, maybe one day I will turn into a cloud of smoke and leave quietly, what's the point of you staying?"
"Even if I stay in this wild area, I will never follow Cao Cao again." Xu Shu had made up his mind, and his eyes flashed with determination.
Wang Baoyu still refused to agree, Xu Shu turned around and left with an unwilling face, and after a while, Fan Jinqiang walked in and said equally resolutely: "Baoyu, you and my brothers live and die together, and I will never leave my eldest brother." ”
"Big brother, you've worked hard all the way, I can ask Cao Zhang to send you to Yiling, Diao Chan is still waiting for you!" Wang Baoyu said, with tears in his eyes, he didn't want his good brother to leave like this.
"Baoyu, Mrs. Zhuge , General Guan Ting, and Lord Sun are all waiting for you, I will go back alone, how can I explain to them?" Fan Jinqiang said.
"Alas, good big brother, you should know that I came this time, and I didn't mean to go back. We've known each other for ten years, and you've fulfilled your promise to help me go north, fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and I'm very grateful! Wang Baoyu arched his hand, then turned his face away, held back his tears and made up his mind: "If there is an afterlife, let's be brothers again!" Tomorrow, you'd better go with him! ”
"Brother, big brother can't bear you! Even if I go back, but leave you here alone, Diao Chan will despise me and blame me for being unkind and unjust. Fan Jinqiang burst into tears, and his burly body trembled uncontrollably.
"Let's go, it's still the same old saying, there is no banquet in the world that will never be dispersed." Wang Baoyu insisted.
Zhang Qiying and Kirby Qing also came in later, putting on a posture of refusing to leave. Wang Baoyu had a resolute attitude, he had to leave, and wrote two more letters of resignation, which were forced to be given to them, if they burned it again, they couldn't marry for the rest of their lives, so don't blame themselves.
The two girls immediately cried into tears, Wang Baoyu understood the truth of constantly rejecting it, turned his back, and did not comfort them, and cried with them until the sky was dark.
"Baoyu, you are so hard-hearted!" In the end, the two women had no choice but to leave in disgrace.
"Boss, I'm different from others, I'm helpless, let's stay with you!" After the flying cloud rat came in, he asked cautiously.
"No, you follow Brother Fan back to Yiling!"
"I've always called you brother, don't you miss the brotherhood between you and me?" Feiyun Mouse asked unwillingly.
"Origin and death, there is no eternal friendship!" Wang Baoyu said ruthlessly.
The flying cloud rat touched a gray nose, and could only leave in a sneer, and after going out, his nose was sore, and he ran to a corner and cried. Since following Wang Baoyu, he has truly experienced the heroism of being a man, and unconsciously, he has regarded Wang Baoyu as his own brother.
Early the next morning, Cao Zhang's army was cleaned up, and Wang Baoyu solemnly handed over the leading seal to him, and said in a low voice: "General Cao, you and my brother, listen to me, stay away from your brother after you go back, and you may be safe for a lifetime." ”
Cao Zhang was stunned, tears came out of his eyes, only the closest people would say such words, he nodded heavily and said: "Cao Zhang remembers the teachings of his brother." ”
Afterwards, Cao Zhang led everyone to kneel down again, hoping that he would change his mind and go back with everyone.
Wang Baoyu waved his hand with a cold face, let's go! Feeling a sour nose, he quickly turned around and went back to the wooden house and closed the door.
Zhang Qiying and Kirby Qing poked their heads out of the RV, their eyes crying into red grapes, hoping that Wang Baoyu would look back at them again, but even such a small wish could not be fulfilled.
Fan Jinqiang lowered his head, not daring to look this way, without Wang Baoyu, there would be no one of his own, maybe he is still a porter shuttling in Wollongong.
The flying cloud rat wilted directly, and I don't know what to do in the future.
Wang Baoyu saw this qiē from the window, and tears couldn't help but gush out, instantly wetting his clothes.
The army finally started slowly, and gradually disappeared into the mountain col, Wang Baoyu walked out of the house, standing in the vast wilderness, alone, with infinite loneliness, letting the autumn wind blow across his emaciated cheeks.
