Chapter 4: The Humiliation of the Crotch
I didn't expect Butcher Xiao to hold such a grudge, Han Xin was just unbearable of his insults, and couldn't help but teach him a small lesson. Originally, he thought that he would not bother his distant cousin with such a trivial matter.
Han Xin, the fierce man with a scar in the middle of the road, naturally knew that he was the lieutenant of Xiao County, and the conspicuous scar on his face was left by the battle of following the general Wang Ben and Qi in the past.
"Han Xin, it's really not easy to find you, if it weren't for the soldiers guarding the door who rushed to tell me the news of your return to the city, I might not be able to meet you today." County Lieutenant Xiao looked at Han Xin with a smile, and said slowly, the scar on his face twitched as he spoke, like a jumping centipede, looking indescribably hideous. The palm of his left hand gently stroked the sword, as if he enjoyed the expression on Han Xin's face.
He is already old, and he can no longer appreciate the fear in the eyes of the other party before he dies when he cut off the enemy's head on the battlefield, and now he sees this expression more in the eyes of the people who are bullied by him. It's a good, really good, and it keeps him feeling like he's not getting old with the years.
As soon as County Lieutenant Xiao's words fell, a bloated figure flashed behind him, looking at Han Xin with a fierce look on his face, it was the Xiao butcher who was beaten by Han Xin.
He has always looked down on Han Shin on the streets, and feels like he is cowardly and incompetent. Yesterday, when I met Han Xin on the road, I spoke viciously to him as usual, but I didn't expect Han Xin, who was usually low-voiced, to dare to hit him, and his martial arts were surprisingly clever, and Xiao Butcher and a few guys were not his opponents at all. After going back, he couldn't swallow this breath, and he was angry for a while, so he spent 500 yuan to find his cousin Xiao County. Ask him to stand up for himself and teach Han Xin a hard lesson.
As soon as he thought of the five hundred Wen Xiao butchers, he couldn't help but feel the pain in his flesh, and his face, which was already full of flesh, looked even more twitching.
"You dare to fight even the cousin of the county lieutenant, it seems that you are really timid." County Lieutenant Xiao looked at Han Xin and said, still with a smile on his face. Because he felt that in his own status, it was a very shameful thing to speak ill of lowly civilians, and more often, he liked to laugh and see others afraid of him.
"A few days ago, the county lieutenant sent someone to deliver an official document, saying that one of the two thieves in Junoze was killed, and the other was wounded and fled to Donghai County, I think, if you drag a corpse to the county governor's mansion, even if the county lieutenant finds out that the killing is wrong, at most it will scold me."
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers around him were very cooperative and surrounded the three of them, slowly pulling out their swords with a sly smile on their faces, obviously it was not the first time they had done this kind of thing.
"Slow down, General Xiao." Han Xin knew that County Lieutenant Xiao's words were not intimidation, and he didn't want his future to be lost in this small county town.
It's not difficult to kill a few people, but once you are wanted, your career path is completely cut off. He, Han Xin, is still counting on mixing with a Great Qin civil servant with his talent.
In a hurry, Han Xin suddenly bowed his body, and when he got up, his face was full of sneers. County Lieutenant Xiao was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect the expression on Han Xin's face to change so quickly, and even the soldiers who went up to outflank him with him stopped a little inexplicably.
I saw Han Xin say eloquently: "The general's deeds with General Wang Ben are widely spread in Huaiyin City. Although the letter is lonely and unheard, it has also said that the generals and generals broke the Qi army. The general took the lead, killed dozens of soldiers alone, and jumped up to the city tower to win the handsome flag. Qi Jun saw that his liver and gall were broken, and Qi Wang Tian Jian knelt outside the city gate and begged to surrender. Everyone in Qi said that the courage of the general Bai Qi in the battle of Changping was nothing more than that. Huaiyin City, a nursery rhyme is still widely sung: If you marry, you must marry Xiao County Lieutenant! β
"If you want the general to be so wise and martial, how dare the untouchables offend the tiger." Han Xin made a bitter face and said with a crying voice: "I really don't know that Brother Xiao is your cousin, otherwise I wouldn't dare to touch even a single hair of him if I have a hundred guts." β
Yu Miaoyi, who was next to her, listened to Han Xinsheng's tearful performance, her face was a little weird, especially when she heard the last sentence "If you marry someone, you must marry Xiao County Lieutenant", and then looked at Xiao County Lieutenant's very tragic appearance, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Shan Wu showed a look of disdain, in his mind, there were only heroes who died in battle, and there were no men who bent their knees.
However, Lieutenant Xiao was very interested in Han Xin's "general", and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering in his heart, as if he really had his share of the great achievements of Vaqi back then. Especially Han Xin's sentence at the end, it made him feel like drinking honey, and he suddenly felt that the little white face in front of him looked much more pleasing to the eye. waved his hand, signaled his subordinates to stop first, and said with a smile:
"I don't think you have the guts to do that, so let's spare you a dog's life. But what to do with you is up to my cousin. β
Butcher Xiao didn't eat Han Xin's set, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw his cousin spare Han Xin's life so easily. Thinking of his five hundred Wen again, he felt a pain in his flesh, but he didn't dare to raise objections to County Lieutenant Xiao, so he had to send his belly to Han Xin, thinking about how to humiliate him.
The triangular eyes glowed with a fierce light, and he glared at Han Xin viciously. After a while, he walked up to Han Xin and said with a cruel smile: "Han Xin, you are taller than me, and you like to carry a sword, but others say that you are timid, I really don't believe it." If you are not afraid of death, then stab me; Otherwise, crawl under my crotch. β
Butcher Xiao lifted his hem and straddled Han Xin, looking at Han Xin with a contemptuous smile. He wasn't worried that the sword on Han Xin's waist would stab him the next moment, he was confident in Han Xin's cowardice. He knew Han Xin too well, this young man had been wandering the streets since he lost his mother at the age of seventeen, and he lived on the help of others.
Why should he worry that the sword in Han Xin's hand would stab him, he didn't have to worry about it at all. He knew Han Xin too well, if he hadn't insulted his mother to death, he would still be smiling and nodding to himself yesterday.
"Han Xin, you're a thorn." Butcher Xiao patted his thigh proudly and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you will drill under my crotch like a dog, anyway, you will live like a dog all day long, wagging your tail around and begging for food." β
After saying that, Butcher Xiao laughed very presumptuously, and everyone laughed too, but no one noticed that Shanwu's exhalation gradually became faster, his eyes were red, and his teeth were clenched.
Butcher Xiao's words reminded him of a very unpleasant memory, a memory that he did not want to remember.
The piercing ridicule made the sneer on Han Xin's face slowly solidify, he quietly looked at the Xiao butcher in front of him, looking at his face full of contemptuous ridicule of himself, and the slightly trembling palms holding the fish intestines were full of sweat.
He knew that if he wanted to, the next moment the fish intestines would pass through the body of the person who was mocking himβfrom the second and third ribs on the left between the second and third ribs in the heart, and kill him with a single sword. He was very confident that he would not miss, and when his mother taught him, he practiced on the straw man for a whole day.
But after that? Even if you can kill all the people who mock you. And then what? What about your own future? The government is wanted, and every city has posted its own portrait, although Daqin is big, there is no hiding place for Han Xin. Could it be that I, Han Xin, have wandered the mountains and wilderness all my life, living a lowly and humble life.
Mother, you often say that one day I will stand above ten thousand people, did you ever expect that I would be humiliated by today's crotch, is this also your so-called providence?
One day, I, Han Xin, will get back the shame I suffered today a thousand times over.
Han Xin stared at the other party for a long time and slowly leaned down.
"Hahaha." Butcher Xiao laughed even more presumptuously, he really didn't misunderstand Han Xin. He is a greedy person who is afraid of death, cowardly and incompetent. He suddenly felt that he could have humiliated Han Xin better, but unfortunately, he actually missed it.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his heart, and the laughter that he hadn't had time to stop was interrupted vividly, and Butcher Xiao looked down at the sword that passed through his chest with a look of disbelief.
Is it Hanshin? Butcher Xiao raised his head with difficulty and looked at the person in front of him. No, it's the big man with the black face. Why did he kill me, why did he kill me, I don't know him.
He opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to ask Zen Wu why he wanted to kill him. It's a pity that Shanwu didn't even look at his interest, he just drew his sword and glared at Han Xin with an angry face:
"Groveling and struggling to survive, is it not the work of a seven-foot man? You have all your ability in vain, but you have to do such a thing that is ridiculed by women and children. β
"When a husband stands in the world, how can he look up to others!"
Han Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, was violently shaken, and Zen Wu's words pierced his heart like a needle.
Shanwu is right, how can a husband stand in the world, how can he rely on others. It's yourself who is wrong, and you've been doing it in self-righteousness all the time.
His years of groveling and procrastinating for a living have only been despised by others, and he is often conceited and eloquent, and every time he is humiliated, he deceives himself and comforts himself, and he will repay him tenfold in the future. Over time, I have gradually become indifferent to the insults and mockery of others.
Even if you can get what you want, what kind of face can you have in exchange for wealth and career in exchange for this? Above such 10,000 people, don't do it!
Han Xin slowly straightened up, raised his head hard, and looked directly at the stunned County Lieutenant Xiao on the opposite side, and his left hand holding the fish intestine no longer trembled.
Seeing that Butcher Xiao was killed, County Lieutenant Xiao was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to his senses. Immediately furious, he actually dared to kill his cousin in front of him. The soldiers around him killed three people, and he himself drew his sword and attacked Han Xin with several subordinates.
He didn't think that this young man who groveled to him would have much superb swordsmanship, so this sword used ten percent of his strength when it went down. With an indomitable momentum, he slashed down, confident that this sword could cut off Han Xin's head.
At the moment when the sword was cut down, he saw that Han Xin did not show a look of fear on his face, and he actually had time to smile at himself, secretly vigilant in his heart. Suddenly, the blade of the sword shook violently, and the tiger's mouth was like a lightning strike, and the sword almost couldn't hold it and almost got out of his hand. I was shocked, I didn't expect this young man to have so much strength, and he hurriedly withdrew and retreated.
Han Xin's sword is not fancy, but the victory lies in the fast movement, and the selection point is chosen in the most vulnerable place of the sword's strength - the blade. A sword forced back the county lieutenant Xiao, and immediately possessed him, and the blade of the sword pointed straight at his throat like a poisonous snake.
After all, Xiao County Lieutenant had experienced the life-and-death struggle on the battlefield, gritted his teeth at the moment of life and death, completely ignoring the sword blade pointing at his throat, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight at Han Xin's arm, desperately stabbing the opponent. Sure enough, Han Xin didn't want to fight with him, so he dodged and kicked away County Lieutenant Xiao, and when he collected his sword, he made a heavy cut under County Lieutenant Xiao's ribs.
County Lieutenant Xiao fell heavily in the distance, and stood up on his knees with severe pain, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that several of his subordinates had been killed by the black-faced man and scattered. He is not a fool, and it is obvious that he is not the opponent of the other party. Shouted loudly at the few scoundrels who were stupidly stunned with wooden sticks: Why don't you go to the county government for help, and tell Cao County to block the city gate, Han Xin killed the official and rebelled.
Only then did a few scoundrels react and hurriedly scattered. Shanwu Hanxin chased after him for a few steps, and he didn't continue to chase.
"Go to the west gate, the county government is in the east of the city, and you should get the news there at the latest." Han Xin pointed to Ximen and said, Shanwu nodded, and strode forward with Yu Miaoyi, who was stunned on the side.
"Ahh Yu Miaoyi turned around and saw Han Xin pick up a sword left on the ground, and with a wave of his hand, it just pierced the throat of Xiao County Lieutenant, who was kneeling on the ground, Xiao County Lieutenant opened his mouth and struggled on the ground a few times, and finally swallowed his breath unwillingly. Yu Miaoyi couldn't help but exclaim, how could she think that Han Xin, who seemed to be smiling and smiling all the time, looked harmless to humans and animals, and was so vicious that she was so frightened that she covered her mouth tightly with her left hand, and let Shanwu drag her forward with her right hand.
"Yes, yes." There was a sound of horses' hooves coming from the streets, and several knights who were patrolling the streets were the first to get a call for help and rushed to this side. Seeing that the three of them were rushing towards him, he grabbed the halberd in his hand and accelerated towards the three of them, trying to pierce several of them with a standard cavalry charge.
"Capture the horse." Shanwu roared, took the lead, and the big sword in his hand slashed at the halberd of the knight in front of him, swinging away the halberd and then grabbing it, roaring, a horse screamed, and dragged the knight off the horse. With a swing of the halberd, he shot down another knight behind him. Seeing that Han Xin had also dealt with the other knight, he asked loudly:
"Han Xin, do you know how to ride a horse?"
Han Xin didn't reply, just desperately pressed a startled horse, circled a few times and finally calmed it down, then turned over on the horse, whipped a horsewhip fiercely, rushed like Simon, and threw down a sentence:
"Follow me."
Shanwu laughed out loud, and suddenly became arrogant, hugged Yu Miaoyi and got on a horse, and rode the horse to run with Han Xin.
The gatekeeper in the west of the city obviously didn't get the news, but the city gate was still wide open as usual, and when he saw the two horsemen rushing towards the city gate, where did he dare to stop it. Han Xin and the three of them easily rushed out of Huaiyin City and ran all the way forward along the official road.
After galloping for about an hour, it was already completely dark, Han Xin pulled the reins of the horse in front of him, stopped, and Shanwu also stopped.
"It's almost out of Huaiyin County to Xuyi County, we have been riding horses on the official road for so long, and our whereabouts must have been leaked. It is better to abandon the horse and pass through Xuyi City from the mountain path, and then detour south to Huiji County. Out of Donghai County, we will be hunted down and reported to the Tingwei Mansion, at least we are safe for the time being. β
Zenai nodded, and there was no objection. Yu Miaoyi, who was sitting in front of Shanwu, had a pale face, and had not yet recovered from the fright just now, plus the cloth bun that bound her hair was blown off by the wind, and her cloak looked very embarrassed.
After straightening her clothes and hair, Yu Miaoyi's pale face barely recovered a little blood, and she forced herself to calm down and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Han, then where are we going to settle down tonight." β
"There is a wooden house in front of me that I used to live in when I was a child, although it is a little simple, but it is still sheltered from the wind and rain." Han Xin pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, "Let's go there tonight and stay there for the time being." β
