Chapter 580: Rather Have a Kind?
"My name is Du Shu"
The only Tiger Mouth Scout who was not beaten poured the wine Fang Xie handed him into his mouth, and the wine flowed down his jaw like a stream. After drinking half a bag, he seemed to have calmed down a bit. The hot liquor burned down his throat, and his stomach immediately became warm.
He smiled bitterly and raised his head to look at Fang Jie: "Actually, I saw you a long time ago, but your status is getting more and more noble, and things are getting bigger and bigger, so naturally I won't remember me as a person who just sat in the corner and watched you talk and laugh." While you sat down drinking and talking, the others and I gathered around you and giggled together. Later, you entered the Martial Arts Academy without accident, and I had to wait for the redistribution of the military department in the capital. ”
Hearing these words, Fang Jie's heart suddenly moved: "Are you the original candidate of the Martial Arts Academy?" Born in the border army? ”
Du Xuan nodded and said a little abruptly: "Yes...... When I was selected as a candidate for the military department, I was also very high-spirited. After arriving in the capital, I found that it was far from my expectations, and not every candidate was qualified to enter the Yanwu Academy to study. I was born in a poor family, although after arriving in the capital, the military department issued silver, but to socialize, it is not enough at all. ”
He paused and smiled self-deprecatingly: "At the restaurant party that day, I was almost out of money on me, so I was embarrassed to go, but I was dragged by someone else. In the restaurant that day, you, the general, arrogant, and Mo Xidao are naturally the most dazzling, especially the general, you are the youngest of all the candidates in the military department, and it is also the most admirable one. Everyone was around you, and I could only stand and giggle. ”
Fang explained: "There were indeed too many people at that time, and those things happened later, so I didn't talk to you, sorry." ”
Du Xuan shook his head: "What's so sorry about this, what happened later that day really scared me." No one thought that the emperor would come to the restaurant in person, and he has not seen you since. Later, when you entered the entrance examination of the Performing Arts Academy, you were naturally and successfully admitted to each subject, and I was eliminated in the liberal arts examination. Later, I waited in the capital for the redistribution of the Ministry of War, but because the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the squire were successively deposed by the emperor, those of us who failed the list could only wait in the capital, and we had no money in our hands, but we didn't dare to leave without permission. ”
Fang Xie Zhilu said that a large number of officials in the Ministry of War were dismissed by the emperor at that time, and it is estimated that it is precisely because of this that the redistribution of these candidates has been delayed. These candidates from the border army have no savings, and when they are in the frontier, their heads are pinned to their trouser pockets, and the money they receive is bought to drink, although when they go to the capital, the border army will pay some travel expenses, and the military department will subsidize the silver after arriving in the capital, but then the multilateral army candidates get together, drink today and drink tomorrow, and the silver is not enough at all.
Zhang Mad was relatively wealthy at that time, and later he didn't want to find Fang Xie to borrow silver.
"Then I thought about it......"
Du Xuan sighed and said, "The adults of the military department dragged us to hold on, and seven or eight out of ten were instructed by Prince Yi. Although we have all fallen off the list, we are also a group of outstanding people in the border army. Prince Yi wanted to rebel, and he took a fancy to our group of people, so he let the military department drag us to do nothing, and we had no money to live more and more difficult, so he sent people to contact us again, taking advantage of our dissatisfaction with the court......"
He shook his head: "At that time, I was really disappointed in the imperial court, thinking that the imperial court only cared about you candidates who made the list, and no one would pay attention to it anymore, so I scolded my mother all day long." This is what Prince Yi wants, so that he can take advantage of our dissatisfaction with the imperial court to win him over. ”
He took a sip of his wine, seemingly reluctant to bring up the past.
"Later, life became more and more miserable, and if it weren't for the innkeeper's sympathy for us, he always allowed us to stay, but I was afraid that we would have to sleep on the streets. That's when insolence came to us......"
Du Xuan raised his head and glanced at Fang Xie and said, "Give each of us ten taels of silver, and drag us to drink, we said a lot of things in our hearts that day, which is also stupid." Everyone scolded the people in the military department for not being things, but no one thought about how the imperial court could make such a mistake. ”
Fang Xie asked: "The person who pulled you to become Prince Yi arrogantly?" ”
"Hmm"
Du Xuan nodded: "At that time, the brothers were almost desperate, and Zhang Qi didn't say it clearly at first, but he came to send some silver to help everyone every once in a while, so that later we couldn't help it, and pulled him to ask where to get so much silver. At first, he didn't say it, but then we asked in a hurry, and he told us that the silver was given by Prince Yi, but Prince Yi didn't let everyone feel embarrassed, so he didn't let him say it. ”
"At that time, we had a good impression of Prince Yi, and we knew that this was a very famous prince, and he did not participate in court politics. When we learned that this silver was given by Prince Yi, we were naturally all very grateful, so we wanted to repay it. Zhang Qi said that Prince Yi has a lot of business in private, lacks some guards, everyone is a skill, since he can't go back to the frontier for the time being, it is better to help Prince Yi take care of some business matters first, and he can also earn some silver. It's the same to wait for the official document from the military department to come down before leaving, and it is also said that Prince Yi has always ordered people to take care of us. ”
"Everyone didn't think much about it at the time, although they felt a little ashamed to go to the businessman to be a guard, but at that time, where did they still care about this, in order to repay the favor, in order to make some money, everyone agreed. But it wasn't until we followed the arrogance that we realized that Prince Yi was going to do business...... The big ones can scare people to death. Later, we learned that Prince Yi tried to rebel, and many people clamored to leave, but they all died. The most terrible thing is that those of us who chose to stay actually had no one to help intercede or save them, and we just watched those brothers who were unwilling to follow the rebellion being killed. ”
"I can't figure it out right now......"
Du Xuan sighed: "How did we get used to it at that time, and when I thought about it later, it would be as if some beliefs were instilled in our heads, coupled with dissatisfaction with the imperial court, we couldn't pull it out after getting into the tip of the horns." From the initial anxiety to the later death. Later, Prince Yi set up a killer organization to assassinate people who were not good for him, and we were among them. ”
"And then ......"
He glanced at Fang Jie: "We have become opposing people, you helped the emperor to quell the rebellion, and we originally thought that Prince Yi would inevitably succeed, only to find out that Prince Yi's plot was just a joke, the emperor had already seen through Prince Yi's conspiracy, how could he not be prepared?" At that time, when you led people to quell the rebellion in the city, my companions died one after another, some were killed by the court, and some committed suicide in fear of sin......"
"After that, the flying fish robe of the Ouchi Guard began to be thoroughly cleaned up in Chang'an City, and those of us who were lucky enough to survive that day hid everywhere, and those of us who lived like a mouse during that time did not even dare to see the sun. Hiding in this corner today and burrowing into that cave tomorrow, a few of his companions just couldn't bear the torment and went mad in the days that followed. The group of people who were together at the beginning were only a dozen or so who were lucky enough to escape the search of the Ouchi guards. ”
"We worked as coolies in the city, and every day we heard how many rebels were caught and beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market. At that time, I thought that if the flying fish robe suddenly appeared in front of me, maybe I wouldn't even be afraid, just relieved. ”
"Later, after the rumors passed, we left the capital. I was going to go home, but later someone mentioned that the names of our people were all in the roster of the military department, and if we went home, we could only implicate our families. So I decided to find a place to stay first and see if anyone could take it in. At that time, I would think about staying away from Chang'an City, and the farther away the better. Because we had no money in our hands, we robbed a few caravans on the way and ran across the Yangtze River in one go......"
Fang Xie asked: "Then you stayed in Huangyang Road?" But why did you build a cottage in the tiger's mouth stream? ”
……
……
After Fang Xie finished asking this sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly thought of one thing: "The current boss surnamed Mo in the tiger's mouth stream is Mo Xidao?" ”
"Yes!"
Du Shu nodded.
"No wonder"
Fang Xie was a little stunned and said: "After Prince Yi's rebellion was put down, he was arrogant and died, and I didn't find out about Mo Xidao's whereabouts later, I just thought that I was killed in the chaotic battle at that time." At that time, I went to the Ouchi guard to see the arrested people, and I didn't see him in it. At that time, people were beheaded every day at the entrance of the vegetable market, dozens of people a day when there were few, and thousands of people a day when there were many times...... After that, I left Chang'an City and never went back. ”
Du Xuan hung his head and said, "If it weren't for Brother Mo, a few of us wouldn't be able to escape the search of the Ouchi Guards." Brother Mo's cultivation is high, and his ability to fight against the search and arrest is also very great, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to escape back from Dongchu at the beginning. After he fled the capital with us, he went all the way south, and some people suggested that we would live incognito, find a trading house or a dart bureau to join, and with our skills, we would not run out of food. ”
"Brother Mo said that we can't live that kind of life under the fence anymore, we don't end up with a big backer like Prince Yi, can we live with those businessmen who only have money in their eyes? He said that our ability to live a lifetime in hiding, working as a cow and a horse for businessmen until death, don't you feel aggrieved and regretful? ”
Du Xuan took a deep breath and slowly spit it out: "After experiencing Prince Yi's incident, everyone's minds are actually a little wild. Hearing Brother Mo say this, he really felt sorry for himself. So I asked Brother Mo what to do, and Brother Mo said that we have to find a way to live first, why do we need to be subordinates to those businessmen who are above the top, even those who were officials in Chang'an dared to kill them, what else could not be done? ”
"On that day, we sneaked into the house of a large family, as if in a demon, we killed all the family, robbed thousands of taels of silver, and a lot of jewelry, with this silver we ran to Mangdang Mountain to avoid for a while, and then began to pull the team, Brother Mo said that the merchants on the Yangtze River come and go innumerable, and the merchants who take the waterway have a large amount of money on their bodies, so we have done a lot of cases on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and we have also pulled up a team of more than 100 people."
"Later, the sailor conquered us, and Brother Mo fled to Huangyang Road with us. Because there was no shortage of money in our hands, we did no more business and lived in seclusion. And then ......"
He sighed and said, "Li Yuanshan is reversed, Luo Yao is also reversed, and Brother Mo's mind is moved." He also wanted to rebel, but as soon as we heard the word rebellion, we were terrified, who would want to have such a terrible experience a second time. But Brother Mo said that the reason why he was so decisive to rebel with Prince Yi was not only because of the injustice of the court, but also because someone said such a sentence to him when he was drinking in the restaurant that day. He never forgot this sentence. ”
"Princely generals, would you rather have a kind?"
Du Xuan looked at Fang Xie and said seriously: "This sentence is what you said." ”
