Chapter 4: The Old Man (Part 5)

At this moment, what Xuzi needs is more than just the trust of his colleagues.

The rumors that Luo Shixin inadvertently mentioned were more shocking than the faint sound of wind and thunder in the sky. He was deeply saddened by Uncle Nine's death, although he had been prepared for a similar thought since the moment he heard that Uncle Nine had become the leader of the bandits. In the countless days of running around on the battlefield, Xuzi even secretly begged the heavens, begging the gods in the underworld not to arrange for him to go to Hebei to suppress bandits, and not to let himself and Uncle Nine meet on the battlefield.

God, who likes to play tricks on people, met Xuzi's request and did not let Sun Jiu die in his hands, but instead arranged Xu Dayan to be his enemy. Let the once good brothers raise their knives face-to-face on the battlefield, and let Xuzi torment and roll again and again between fame, responsibility and friendship. "Heaven and earth are furnaces, creation is work, yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper!" When he was young, Xuzi remembered that he had read such a few sentences, and at that time he didn't understand the helplessness in the hearts of the ancients, so he would only pull up his face and pretend to be old-fashioned. Now, he found that he vaguely understood a little, but he smiled wryly, unwilling to talk to anyone.

"Shixin, help me take the brothers back to the barracks!" Li Xu took the order flag from the hands of his own soldiers, stuffed it into Luo Shixin's hands, and begged.

"Brother Zhong Jian, don't be rash, Lord Zhang won't believe these boring nonsense! If you are too guarded there, there will naturally be a few of our brothers to vouch for you. Luo Shixin obviously misunderstood what Li Xu meant, thinking that the other party was going to hand over the military power to show his innocence, and shouted anxiously.

"It's going to rain, that's it for today's training! I'll go back first, and I'll be waiting for you on campus tomorrow morning! Li Xu smiled at Luo Shixin and explained. Then he turned around and slowly walked towards his mount.

He wasn't very worried about Pei Caozhi's reaction, in the eyes of the other party, he had the big backer of His Majesty the Emperor behind him. As long as the imperial court ignores the rumors that are pouring in, the officials of the Taishou Mansion will not dare to take action even if they have doubts.

What made him feel extremely heavy was the news of Sun Jiu's death, as well as the fangs hidden behind the rumors that others could not understand. For Xuzi, who is gradually maturing, the things hidden behind the rumors are far more lethal than the rumors themselves. East! Square! net

Asahiko does not sympathize with the enemies who died at her own hands. The rogues are by no means the legendary thieves and thieves, and the reason why they first rose up was out of helplessness, but if they want to eat, grow, and gather strength to resist the government's conquest, they will inevitably loot everywhere and kill people who are weaker than themselves. Through more than half a year of his career as a bandit, Xuzi has a deep understanding of the actions of the bandits and the disasters they have created, and he will not be soft on these people on the battlefield. But Uncle Nine is different from these people, in his impression, Uncle Nine is so honest and kind. This warm-hearted old man concentrated all the advantages of his father's generation, valued righteousness, dared to take responsibility, although he was poor, he was not rubbed off the brilliance of humanity by life. If there was no Ninth Uncle, Xuzi didn't dare to guarantee that he would not be abandoned by Zhang San, Wang Mazi and others on the way out of the stopper. In that way, there will be no more colorful memories of the grassland, let alone today's fame and wealth.

He could deny that he was a disciple of Sun Jiu, and when he was in Liaodong, the scheming Li Yuan and Liu Hongji had already helped him find a teacher who was nowhere to be seen, but after saying it, it added a bit of mystery to his identity. His master is a worldly master who lives in seclusion in the grasslands, the legendary old man who grinds mirrors. Reporting this name is enough to make many people who are looking for trouble unable to start. But Xuzi couldn't hide the relationship between him and Uncle Jiu, the feeling that he regarded him as a teacher, a father, and a friend. Many times, Xuzi even felt that there was a blood vein connected with Uncle Jiu, and the ups and downs were synchronized. Especially at some confusing choice junctures, Xuzi likes to ask herself, what would Liu Hongji do if he was here? If the Scholar and in the same situation he would choose; If Uncle Nine encounters this situation, what choice will he make?!!

In Xuzi's mind, Liu Hongji represents sophistication, Yuwenshi and utilitarianism, and Jiushu represents the purity of human nature. Occasionally, he would ask himself what he would do if Xu Dayan was in the same situation. What swells up in my heart is a warmth, a warmth that keeps my heart from freezing in winter. ()

However, at present, family and friendship have become swords in the hands of rumor-mongers. The shadow in the dark knew Xuzi so well that almost as soon as he made a move, he remembered the lore. Because Xu Zi knew in his heart that Sun Jiu, Big Eyes and the three of them were so clearly related that they could be counted with a slap. Among them, there are only two who are satisfied with the three of them and are involved in the current battle of bandits in Henan counties, one is Li Xu himself, and the other is Xu Dayan.

"This killing move was thought of by Mao Gong, just to force me to lose my foothold in the county soldiers, so as to prevent the two of us from meeting again on the battlefield!" Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, hit the face, and then flowed into the mouth, which was very fishy and bitter.

The rain came very quickly, very urgently, and very cold. The heavens and the earth were white and connected in an instant, and the real faces of everyone could not be seen in the wind and rain, and occasionally lightning shone down, showing only stumbling figures. Ghostly, vague and hideous.

Xuzi, who rode his horse in the rain, remembered everything that happened between himself and Xu Dayan, from the initial disbelief with each other to the sharing of hardships, and then to the later intersection of life and death. I remember the easy years with Tao Kuotuosi and Eru on the grassland. Remember how Big Eyes escaped Eru's fiery gaze in order to protect the interests of the family. Remember the smoke that Big Eyes lit for him in the wind and snow.

In the lightning, he also saw Ashina Choyu's camp. Xuzi remembers Big Eye and how she tied dry wood to the horse's tail, how she stormed the door, and how she evaded her pursuers. Then, when he was about to be cornered, Big Eye suddenly stabbed Black Wind in the ass......

The sword light of that moment is still like electricity.

"Give you the horse, and you will be at a loss, but secretly you will attract all your pursuers. Anyway, the horse has no strength anymore, and it can't run far! In the thunder, Wu Heimin's words that day were clearly reproduced.

"No way, Big Eyes isn't that kind of person!" Asahiko wiped the rain from her face and defended her friend loudly in her heart. None of this was done by Xu Dayan, including Wu Heimin's deliberate slander that day. But except for Xu Dayan, it is true that no one knows his past in such detail, and can even accurately find and exploit the weaknesses in his character.

"It's not a matter of life and death, it's a good brother who doesn't lose each other in life and death. Besides, the horse was stabbed in the buttocks, hurting his muscles and bones, although he ran fast in a short time, the war horse would be crippled if he couldn't run far! Wu Heimin's words were mixed with the sound of wind and thunder and hit Xuzi, making his face pale, and his back was hunched down little by little.

At the critical moment, he stabbed the horse in the buttocks, and with Xu Dayan's careful thinking, he would definitely calculate that he was unwilling to abandon his companions and escape alone. So, he calculated that he would set his clothes on fire and lure away his pursuers. After calculating it, Black Wind will fall to the ground due to muscle injuries after running for a while. ”

The rain was so heavy and so rapid that it made people cold. Li Xu couldn't help but want to tremble, he felt that the blood in his whole body was freezing little by little.

"Sweaty horses have large skeletons and thick flesh. If it was a regular horse, it would have been abolished a long time ago! Wu Heimin's words were like thunder, bursting the blood vessels that had been frozen into ice cubes, making people's eyes stained red.

"I'm afraid you will suffer losses in the future, and you will also suffer from this uprightness and generosity!" Master Yang's advice that day also came through the wind and rain, and the voice was urgent, urging people to grow old.

It turns out that being honest is also wrong, and there are really good people in this world who can't do it. Xuzi wiped her face again and smiled bitterly. Uncle Nine is honest and righteous, so he will be killed during the banquet, and the little money he has accumulated in the confrontation with the officers and soldiers will be cheaper than others. As for himself, Li Xu knew that the reason why he was betrayed again and again and experienced betrayal again and again was because of his honesty and defenselessness towards his friends.

"The fellowship of friends is precious in a letter." Liu Hongji taught that day. But did Liu Hongji trust others? Xu Zi knew that at least in his attitude towards Tang Gong, Liu Hongji had doubted his sincerity more than once. Besides, Xu Dayan's position at the moment is an enemy, not a friend.

"It turns out that I'm the only one who is stupid, and no matter how many times I eat, I can't learn to be good!" Li Xu sighed and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. If the integrity, kindness, sincerity, and sincerity of human nature are all wrong, he knows how to protect himself. Suddenly, he felt that he should be grateful to the maker of the rumor, whether he was Xu Shiji himself or not.

Struggling to find his way in the rain, he sprang his horse and galloped towards his mansion. The mansion of the Second Rank of the Great Sui was in the quietest and most elegant part of the city, not far from his current location. Xuzi knew that he had nothing left but this hard-earned family business. He swore that he would definitely protect it and not be taken away as easily as Uncle Jiu. Before he knew it, his hand was gripping the hilt again. The knuckles were frozen white and blue by the rain, but I couldn't feel the cold in my heart.

The rain was coming so quickly that there were no pedestrians on the streets. Therefore, Xuzi didn't have to worry about the war horse would trample and hurt people, so he just let the mount spread its hooves and run wildly. He loved the feeling of walking through the waterfall, and after washing away the last rays of warmth, he felt reborn.

A thin figure suddenly rushed out of the wind and rain, almost breaking under the hooves of the black wind. "Phew!" Asahiko screamed and tightened the reins with all her might. The galloping Black Wind's front hooves were raised high, and an angry roar came out of his mouth. The person who came was simply looking for death, if it weren't for Li Xu's timely pulling, if it wasn't for its own spirituality, this guy would definitely be trampled into meat sauce.

"Look for death!" Xuzi scolded angrily and jumped off the horse, wanting to teach the frightened figure a profound lesson. His fist was raised, but suddenly froze in midair.

"It's raining heavily, sir!" Shi Lan, who was a little frightened, replied in a trembling voice, and at the same time held up a heavy robe to Xuzi.

Alcoholic note: The second heat stroke of the year, dizziness, barely a little out, I hope you like it.
