32. Night Talk (I) [68/100]

During the day, the corpses were cleaned up, the comrades were buried, and when night fell, the whole village was quiet.

Except for the leaders who were still guarding at several mountain gates, everyone else had already found a place to rest, and after a few days of fierce fighting, even those who fought with iron were already almost at the limit.

The whole village was snoring, but it was less sluggish and more calm.

In the back village, Qiu Buping has not rested.

Lang Mutou and other surviving high-ranking leaders were all called to the Qiu Buping house, and the big boss told them very bad news.

"The 20,000 elite horsemen of the Northern Dynasty have passed Weifang and are coming to our side."

Qiu Buping sat on a chair and said to the people standing in front of him:

"In two days at most, they will arrive in Yishui, Yinan Generation."

The news made all the leaders silent.

This is, of course, bad news.

The thieves of the Northern Dynasty found the opportunity, and took advantage of the gap after the war between the Southern Dynasty and the Shifei Village, and came in the starry night, so naturally it would not be to help the Shifei Village attack the Southern Dynasty army.

They are here for right and wrong.

Once the right and wrong village is pulled, the southwest generation of Qilu will all fall into the hands of the Northern Dynasties, and then from Binzhou, Weifang, and Linyi will be connected into a line, and the land of Qilu can be divided into two halves.

Originally, the area occupied by the Northern Dynasties was only north of the Yellow River.

If this battle is fought by them, all the areas ruled by the Southern Dynasties, including Jinan Mansion, will also be returned to the Northern Dynasties.

At least in the land of Qilu, the Northern Dynasty had the absolute upper hand.

At that time, whether it is to continue to move forward, attack Jianghuai, or unite with other armies, there will be no obstacle to entering the Central Plains.

Of course, the general situation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties is not something that the non-Zhai people are concerned about.

But at the moment, the Northern Dynasty is surging forward, and there must be an explanation whether it wants to fight a war or avoid its front for the time being.

"I know my brothers are tired."

Qiu Buping closed his eyes, and he said:

"But the brothers have to come up with an idea."

This kind of designated strategy was done by Wu Shifeng in the past, but now, it can only be decided by everyone.

"Big boss, I don't understand these big bosses like this, you just have the idea."

A ringleader with his arm hanging said in a rough voice:

"How do you say to fight, I'll fight how I wait, there is no other word, this will never pull the crotch and lay a soft egg."

Others agreed.

Lang Mutou also felt that this kind of thing should be decided by Qiu Buping.

But the big boss didn't answer immediately.

He thought for a dozen breaths, then opened his eyes and said to the others:

"Fight, definitely to fight, but not to win.

I want to send the women and children in the village, as well as the brothers who are seriously injured and unable to go into battle, out of the village and to a safe place to recuperate, but no matter whether the south or the north are in the north, they will not allow me to wait so leisurely.

I want to lay a defensive line in the Yishui generation to block the elite cavalry of the Northern Dynasty. ”

Qiu Buping said softly:

"I'm waiting for these people who can still fight, so I have to protect the opportunity of life and death for those brothers who retreat. However, I do not force any brother to go with me. ”

The voice of the big boss became muffled, and he said:

"This is a matter of death, the casualties in my village are already heavy enough, if you can live, you will live."

"Big boss! What are you talking about? ”

Lang Mutou was shocked, and he hurriedly said:

"The brothers are willing to take on the enemy with the big boss! If there is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, they will not spare him! ”

The leaders had just experienced a battle to the death, and this would be the time when their hearts were on fire, so they also made noise with Lang Mutou.

For a while, this house was full of words for war.

"Bang"

Qiu Buping's hand slapped on the table, and everyone fell silent.

The big boss stood up, and he said:

"You don't have to wait like this, just listen to me.

I should have made up my mind a long time ago, but I was indecisive, which caused the tragedy of I am Fei Zhai, which stopped the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty from fighting, which is the last battle of I am Fei Zhai!

After this war, there is no longer the name of right and wrong in this world.

You don't need to say more, I've made up my mind. Early tomorrow morning, it will be declared in the village! ”

Qiu Buping waved his hand, and he said:

"Those who want to go with me must be those who have no father, no mother, no wife, no children, and no care.

The rest of the people went to protect the wounded brothers, the women and children in the village, and prepared to go down the mountain to transfer, wood, you come to command them, as for where to go.

Let me think about it all night, and I'll tell you tomorrow morning. ”

"It's late at night, so let's go and rest."

"Big boss! This..."

Lang Mutou wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qiu Buping with his eyes, and he said in a cold tone:

"What? Wood, you don't listen to me anymore? Don't you all have to learn from my third brother, and you plan to make decisions for me? ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the other leaders who still wanted to persuade closed their mouths.

Everyone saw that the hatred was uneven, and they had already made up their minds.

and knew that persuasion was useless, so they all withdrew.

After a stick of incense, Qiu Buping walked out of the house, carrying his hands in the courtyard in front of him, looking at the bright moon above his head.

He seems to have returned to that state of civility, and there is no trace of the majesty that a great master should have.

"Master, but you can't sleep at night?"

Qiu Buping suddenly asked.

At the gate of the courtyard, the figure of the Lang Seng quietly flashed out, which was at least twenty zhang away from Qiu Buping, but the Lang Monk's qi was still not full of Qiu Buping's perception.

But the monk didn't want to hide on purpose, and after being called out by Qiu Buping, he walked out generously.

He walked up to Qiu Buping, pronounced the Buddha's name, and whispered:

"Qiu Shizhu's words, you shouldn't say it, at this time, it is a matter of your non-village people's hearts, you say that, people who have no ideas will have more ideas.

The poor monk is afraid that tomorrow this is a non-village, and it will fall apart. ”

"Huh."

Qiu Buping chuckled, and he said:

"Since the master knows about my second brother and third brother, he should also know that I, Qiu, had plans to disband the village five years ago.

It's just that this matter has dragged on for five years, and it has caused such a big mess.

That Shen Qiu Shaoxia said it at the festival today, it's all my Qiu's fault! This mistake should not be allowed to continue.

Disperse and disperse.

In the world, how can there be a banquet that will not be dispersed? ”

The big boss looked at the moonlight above his head, and he said:

"As for the interception, it's just me, and I still have to go."

The monk proclaimed the Buddha horn again.

He was silent for a moment, turned the Buddha bead a few times, and said to Qiu Buping:

"Now that the benefactor has made up his mind, the poor monk also has a word to say to the benefactor.

Presumably, the benefactor is thinking about where to find a place to live for the people of the village, right? ”

Qiu Buping nodded, he looked at the monk Lang, who generously took out a prayer note from his sleeve and handed it to the big boss.

The latter took it in his hand, opened it and looked at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He said to the prodigal monk:

"The names of Lei Ye and the Heluo Gang, Qiu Mou has also heard of it in the land of Qilu, but there is no friendship between my two families.

This rash gift made Qiu feel uneasy. ”

The monk showed a gentle smile, he folded his hands, leaned over slightly to the hatred, and said:

"This is a good thing for the Heluo Gang, such an elite, the strongest soldiers in the world, if it can be contained by the Heluo Gang, my righteous brother must also be happy.

The begging donor doesn't have to worry, the poor monk can make an oath in the name of the Buddha, and then treat the brothers of the begging benefactor as if he were the brothers of the Heluo Gang.

If there is oppression and injustice, let the poor monk die without a place to bury! ”

Qiu Buping played with the prayer post in his hand, and his eyes were full of thoughts.

After a long time, Qiu Buping bowed to his subordinates and said to the monk:

"Then, Qiu Mou will thank Lei Ye for his love for my brothers, but in addition to this transfer, Qiu Mou has one more thing to ask for."

He whispered to the Wandering Monk.

The Lang monk's expression changed slightly, and he said to Qiu Buping:

"This kind of thing, the poor monk can't make a decision, hate the donor and wait, the poor monk will fly the pigeon to pass the book to the Central Plains, before the donor pulls out, he will definitely give the donor an answer."

The monk hurried away.

Qiu Buping was still standing in the courtyard, and he replied:

"Shen Shaoxia, can't you sleep with my son?"

Hearing Qiu Buping's voice, Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie turned in from the other side of the courtyard wall, Shen Qiu looked calm, but Xiao Tie was a little embarrassed.

When the son listens to Lao Tzu's wall, it always feels weird.

"The enemy of the village."

Shen Qiu hugged his fists, and he said:

"Xiao Tie has something to say to you, but this kid has a stupid mouth and can't speak, so he begged me to come with him.

I didn't bother. ”

Qiu Buping didn't answer, he just looked at Shen Qiu with a scrutinizing gaze, and after a while, he said to Shen Qiu:

"Shen Shaoxia, you are not a few years older than my son, why is my son a generation younger than you in your eyes?"

"Ugh."

Shen Qiu, who asked this question, was dumbfounded for a while.

Indeed, in terms of age, he is only eighteen years old, and Xiao Tie is fifteen years old this year, and he is only three years older than Xiao Tie.

Shen Qiu simply diverted the topic, and he said to Qiu Buping very sincerely:

"The enemy village master rescued me from Ai Dacha, I haven't seriously thanked me, if there is no enemy village master to help me this time, I'm afraid I would have died in Huangquan."

"You don't have to thank me."

Qiu Buping waved his hand, and he said in a calm tone:

"You're just a shallow martial artist, and your perception is insufficient.

That night, I was fighting with Ai Dacha, and I felt another qi machine behind me... I didn't take Ai Dacha's life, I just cut off his arm, and that's why.

There is a master who has been following you, if I expected it to be true, it should be the rotten good man of the Mo family, Juzi Wujiu. ”

Qiu Buping said to Shen Qiu:

"So you'll be fine without me."

"Huh?"

Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie were stunned at the same time.

But Shen Qiu thought of the intricate relationship between Wujiu Juzi and Ai Dacha, and this matter was not incomprehensible.

"Shen Shaoxia, that night, was the knife you held shaking the light of the seven stars?"

Qiu Buping remembered something, so he asked, Shen Qiu nodded, he already knew the news of the update of the Jianghu List, that damn Yinlou, all his information was on the Jianghu List.

Regarding the Seven Stars Shaking Light, he didn't need to hide it.

"I have seen the treasure of the Chu Kingdom in the Great Chu court."

Qiu Buping touched his mustache, and he said in a nostalgic tone:

"At that time, I was still the history of the Langya School Palace, and by chance, I saw the treasure knife, I thought.

In this river and lake, no one can control the ferocity of shaking light.

It's just that the country really has talented people from generation to generation, and Shen Shaoxia is like an arm, and he must be very human. ”

Hearing Qiu Buping's praise like this, Shen Qiu was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't tell Qiu Buping that it was because of the sword jade in his hand that he could use the shaking light.

Shen Qiu waved his hand and said:

"The enemy lord praised it falsely, and I just had it by chance."

This action made Shen Qiu's robe on his wrist sweep up, and the sword jade hidden in it flashed a ray of light under the moon, just for a moment, but it was seen by Qiu Buping at a glance.

The villager's eyes narrowed, but there was no discoloration on his face.

He followed Shen Qiu's words and said:

"Attributing everything to luck and minimizing the components of your own efforts in your words is the way of humility, but Shen Shaoxia should not underestimate himself.

Most of the origins of the treasures of the rivers and lakes of such a level as the Twelve Weapons are inseparable from the immortal inheritance that has become extinct in this era. ”

Qiu Buping said softly:

"Just like my Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear, I also got it by chance, with the help of an old man.

But if it weren't for my years of practicing spearmanship, even if I had the sword in my hand, no one would have made me a celestial leader.

Only those Jianghu guests who are not of sufficient grade will think of snatching such treasures from others and keeping them for themselves.

What a joke! ”

The enemy said to Shen Qiu:

"Not to mention whether they can beat the man with the treasure in hand, even if they do, what is the use?

Shen Shaoxia should know that the so-called treasures are all psychic things, and they can choose their own masters.

If you don't agree with it and wield it reluctantly, it's no different from an ordinary blade, it's just a little stronger and sharper.

And some of the treasures full of aura will even hinder the lives of those who dare to get involved. ”

Hearing Qiu Buping's statement, Shen Qiu nodded approvingly.

Take the arrogant and ferocious shaking light as an example, if ordinary people forcibly hold it, they will only end up with no bones left.

"In this river and lake, people who are a little famous think that they are the dragon and phoenix among the people, and they can be recognized by the treasure soldiers and become a great career.

But looking at the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, how many people have really achieved great things? ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Buping sighed with emotion, and he said to Xiao Tie beside Shen Qiu:

"My son, even if you have entered the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to get out, even if you are worried about your father, you are helpless.

It's just that when you walk the rivers and lakes in the future, you must understand why you have embarked on this path.

Don't forget your heart.

As for what the original heart is, the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism have their own explanations, so if you are interested, you can find some books to read, and I will not repeat it for the father. ”

He said to Xiao Tie:

"Only by keeping your heart and wiping it often can you make yourself go further on the road of martial arts.

Being a father is your best lesson, and when it's time to make difficult decisions in the future, don't look ahead or be indecisive. ”

"Nope! Father, in the heart of a child, you are by no means an indecisive person, I asked Brother Shen in the afternoon, why is it that Fei Zhai has come to this point. ”

Xiao Tie stepped forward, and he said to his father:

"Brother Shen Qiu told me a lot, although I didn't understand it very well.

But I think what Brother Shen said is right, even if you make a decision earlier, father, what should happen will happen.

Even if his father disbanded the village five years ago, the second uncle will still die in the vendetta in the rivers and lakes, and the death of the second uncle is not the fault of his father.

Fathers are not to blame themselves. ”

"Huh?"

Qiu Buping glanced at Xiao Tie and then at Shen Qiu.

He said:

"Shen Shaoxia, I often think about right and wrong, and when I heard my son say this today, I want to hear your opinion."

"I don't have any high opinions."

Shen Qiu waved his hand, and he said:

"I'm just going to analyze Xiao Tie randomly, it's hard to get into everyone's ears, just listen to the owner of the village as a joke."

"Shen Shaoxia is hiding clumsy, he has reached this place where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and Qiu Mou is very obedient now."

Qiu Buping touched his beard, he looked at the knife box behind Shen Qiu's back, and said:

"Tell me, I'd love to hear your opinions, and when you repay my kindness, how about it?"

Shen Qiu hesitated for a moment, then hugged his fist at Qiu Buping. TV debut

He said:

"Then the enemy of the village, please forgive me for being rude."
