Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Truth (II)
Since ancient times, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. But how to die to be worthy of the word monarch and minister in order to be worthy of the name of loyalty?
Shen Chaoya's life has no stain, he is a martial arts powerhouse with a high reputation in the rivers and lakes, and he is also the most important general in the imperial court. Its people are chivalrous and righteous, and they manage the army in a good way, and the Qin State was able to develop so steadily in the first ten years of the founding of a country, which should have been the most turbulent, and Shen Chaoya contributed a lot.
So no one thought that such a person would be personally executed by the founding emperor for treason.
Naturally, not many people believed that Shen Chaoya would commit treason. But this unbelief was only manifested in the first few years.
There are some things in this world that will slowly become true over time.
But mortals have forgotten Shen Chaoya's loyalty, and the crime that has never been erased has gradually become a stain on him. For no one will remember him, and no one will plead for him for his loyalty and righteousness. No one doubts history anymore......
Xiang Wu's eyebrows and eyes were full of coldness.
"Brother Shen is worthy of the king and the people in his life, even if you want to kill him, why do you have to ...... Let him die in the name of treason? And why do you have to ...... Destroy him all over the house? ”
Qin Xianhuang said: "Most of the Sword Pavilion Sword Saints were still there back then, and some of them were like you, like Shen Chaoya, insisting on some kind of justice, I don't know how much Shen Chaoya investigated this incident, although he will always report it to me, but ...... Maybe he's hiding something? ”
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Xianhuang's gaze also became complicated.
Now it seems that he did not hide Lonely. As for destroying him, Lone does not accept such a charge, Xiang Wu, you and the child of the Shen family should be grateful for Lone's kindness. At least, he was left alone. But now it seems that Lone should not have spared his life. ”
He, naturally, refers to a scholar.
The scholar was on the edge of the Heaven and Earth Realm, and he had originally planned to work with Feng Jiang to try to get Di Yueluo free from the will of Emperor Qin, but at this moment, his mind was already confused.
Qin Xianhuang naturally noticed the existence of the scholar, and he was a little surprised, this kid was not even in the realm of peeping leaves until now, but he dared to go to the front line and face himself. Especially...... There was also a young girl with him.
With just one glance, Qin Xianhuang recognized from the half of the bronze mask who this girl should belong to. He remembered that Xiang Wu risked his life to beg for the lives of these two children.
He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahahahaha......"
"Xiang Wu, history is always strikingly similar. Maybe Feng Wuxuan was right, one day, Lone would lose his most trusted subordinate, but he didn't guess that Lone never needed this. In the autumn of seventeen years ago, it was also like this, and it was the head of the Shen family, the head of the public loser, and the last dragon general of my Great Qin. “
"Now, there are only these two little dolls left between the Shen family and the public loser, and you, the dragon general, have no strength to fight again, if you lose, Lone will kill you, just like Lone killed Shen Chaoya back then."
The cold wind of the winter night was as cold as bone marrow, blowing through the scholar's neck, blowing the broken hair on his forehead, and under the night, it was difficult to see the scholar's eyes, he seemed to be very calm.
It's just that the girl's expression next to her is full of uneasiness.
The situation is indeed more desperate than imagined.
Whether it is the generals of the Chu army or the generals of the Qin State, even if they join forces, in the face of this huge number of emperor generals, in the face of Qin Xianhuang, they are too weak, and the wind is very fast, but in this emperor star realm, it is difficult to play a role, and the eight generals of Eastern Chu are now even difficult to get close to the realm of the Heavenly Emperor, and the dragon general Xiang Wu is unable to fight again.
The combat power of the Emperor Star generals suffered a lot of losses after the unarmouring blow of the 100 divisions, but it was still enough to crush the Chu army.
This is the most desperate situation, no matter how you think about it, there is no way to break the situation.
But the scholar slowly raised his head, and the cold wind blew away his tears, leaving cold tear stains and his cold gaze.
"My father, the old man who lost the gong, and the grandfather Chi, the three of them can't lose to you no matter what."
The scholar wanted to ask about what happened back then, but in the end he didn't ask. His mind suddenly returned to the autumn rain seventeen years ago, and the last time he remembered it was his father's back.
He didn't witness that battle. But now that he thinks about it, he can't find a reason to lose that fight.
So he was puzzled.
He didn't ask, but Qin Xianhuang heard his words.
Qin Xianhuang looked at the scholar of the Shen family and looked at it carefully for a long time: "You are as stupid as the son of Gu. In this world, he doesn't know any martial arts. Do you know that it was only a matter of a moment for Gu to kill you? “
The scholar said, "Since I have come, I have the consciousness of going to die. “
Qin Xianhuang asked again: "You have protected her for so many years, and you are willing to die with her?" “
She is naturally a public loser. The scholar did not answer this question, and the answer was to lose the glass.
"There are grievances to be avenged, and there are revenges to be avenged. If my brother is dead, I won't live alone, but even if I die today, I will try to kill you. “
The life of the little girl killed many people. The killing is already a little numb. But since she was born, except for Wang Chengyu, for the first time, she wanted to kill someone so strongly.
It wasn't about hatred, it was just that she was afraid to see her all-powerful brother again so desperate when he traveled north to the woods.
Thinking of this, she had courage.
Qin Xianhuang looked at these two children who didn't know martial arts, but he didn't put it in his eyes, his will was the will of the emperor generals, and the arrogance of the emperor generals came from this founding emperor to a large extent. At this moment, Emperor Qin, after confirming that there were no more variables in this war, returned to the most arrogant posture.
"What you want to ask is why I can defeat Chi Yanlan, the strongest person in the world. Especially if your father joins forces with him. “
"Heh, Lone will tell you, this is probably the most interesting thing Lone has ever seen in his life."
Qin Xianhuang's eyes were mocking, and he could already imagine how angry the scholars of the Shen family would be after hearing the truth. But the anger of the ants is the funniest joke in the world in his eyes.
"I have to admit one thing, even if Xiang Wu surpasses the previous dragon general, but Shen Chaoya's martial arts are also in the middle of you, he is very strong, even if he kills him, Lone is not sure, especially in the face of the headache of the head of the public loser, it is even more difficult to do."
"And Chi Yanlan, worthy of the name of the first in the world, he is obviously too old, but he can still kill all the elite of the empire sent by Gu one by one, whether it is the Divine Soldier Absolute General Battalion, or the Emperor Star Department, even if he is dispatched, in the face of Chi Yanlan, it will not play the slightest role."
"In this year, the empire can be said to have lost its troops, but Shen Chaoya did not make a move, even if he beheaded the Shen family alone, Shen Chaoya did not make a move against his former comrades. The rumor in the rivers and lakes is right, in the first floor of the world, there lives the world's most loyal person, and the world's first master who protects him. “
"That adult is unwilling to face Chi Yanlan, and in the end it is up to Lone to deal with them, these three people join forces, where is it possible to kill him in the whole world?"
Recalling Chi Yanlan, the world's recognized number one in the world, Emperor Qin seemed to still have some fear.
"Chi Yanlan is really old, and he no longer has the strength of his peak level. Especially this year's pursuit is also a lot of consumption for him, if not, facing him alone, there is no chance of winning. Or even so, Lone has no chance of winning against him, plus the old thing of Shen Chaoya and Gong Losing Wuwu, even if Lone brings countless elites, it will be difficult to surround them. “
"In that battle, seven of the twelve absolute generals of the Divine Soldier Absolute General Battalion were all destroyed, and three of the four Emperor Star generals were also completely destroyed. Chi Yanlan's strength is still fresh in his memory, even if it is far from his strength at his peak. That duel was indeed a lonely defeat. ”
Sarcastic laughter rang out again.
"Heh, Lone is here to kill, and what Lone wants to accomplish is only the will of the adult, and as for the purpose of achieving the goal, it's not too much to use any reason, isn't it? At the moment when Lone was about to die, Lone made Shen Chaoya make a choice......"
The scholar had already vaguely guessed that he would probably hear something very unbearable, and he finally calmed down his emotions, and became violent again, and his breathing slowly became rapid.
"Chi Yanlan's strength is beyond Lone's imagination, and in the end Lone is difficult to fight, but your father Shen Chaoya didn't really make a move, there are indeed such stupid people in this world, until the last moment, he thought that Lone was deceived and made a deal with the devil? Hahahahahaha But your father never thought of it until he died. Before Chi Yanlan's killing move was about to come, Lone said to him......"
"The people of Tiankeng can still be saved, as long as he is willing to go back with Gu."
Qin Xianhuang's eyes were fixed on the scholar, and he wanted to see how this young man would react.
"This is a lie full of loopholes, Lone thought that no one in this world would believe it, but your father is really worthy of being a loyal dog under Lone's hand, Chi Yanlan made a move, but he was finally stopped by your father, because he wanted to save Lone, because he still believed in Lone's 'Jun Wu Joke' until he died, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha......hahaha
Scholars can imagine that scene.
In the autumn rain, Grandpa Chi and the old man have been fighting with all their might, and his father has been struggling, what a despicable lie, as an outsider, Grandpa Chi must be able to know that this is Emperor Qin's words to seek perfection in order to survive.
Chi Yanlan, who was in a hurry to kill Emperor Qin, made a move, but was finally stopped by his father.
Scold. It's really silly.
How much do scholars want to mock their father, a famous general in the world, how can they be deceived so easily?
Qin Xianhuang said: "If it weren't for him who stopped this blow for Gu with the martial arts of the dragon general, Gu would have died. Chi Yanlan, this old thing, protected your father for a year, and stood in front of him to save the lonely, but it was your father. Do you know how helpless Chi Yanlan's eyes were at that time? It was also at that moment ......"
Qin Xianhuang hung up an evil and arrogant smile and continued:
"Lone from behind, killed your father, the long blade penetrated through your father, and also through Chi Yanlan. At the moment when your father fell, I saw the most wonderful expression in the world. The unwillingness and sorrow of the ants, the misery of having nothing in the end, hahahahahahaha...... Hahahahahaha......haha
The heavens and the earth echoed with the laughter of Emperor Qin, which was presumptuous and arrogant.
After hearing the truth of the battle, everyone present was silent and unable to say a word.
It turned out that back then, the great general of the empire did so many things for the sake of hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war of the Chu State.
The knuckles of Feng Zhan's fists rattled, and his eyes widened with anger.
Seventeen years ago, the mining of the sinkhole had not yet ended, and at that time, the lark of the public loser could often take the people of Chu to take a look at the world outside the sinkhole. The darkest hour of the sinkhole is yet to come.
The people of the sinkhole chiseled with axes and axes, believing that they were not opening a cage for thirty years, but a path to light and freedom.
They believed that the general would bring them true relief. Just as stupid as the general, they all still believe in this country, but they don't know that the founder of this country is not the one who makes a deal with the devil...... Qin Xianhuang is the real demon.
At this moment, fate strung together Fengzhan and scholars.
The son of the general of the Qin State who saved the people of the Tiankeng, and the son of the general of the Chu State who saved the people of the Tiankeng, the bumpy experience of the two of them when they were young could have been avoided, and they should have had a happy childhood.
But everything was wrong, because at the last moment, Shen Chaoya still chose to believe in Qin Xianhuang.
It's fate.
The scholar can imagine Grandpa Chi's expression before he died, he needs to think of something to calm down, what he wants is not anger, but absolute calmness and reason.
But he couldn't calm down. He was on the verge of collapse......
Why is the father so stupid? Why did my father do such a stupid thing in the end?
The scholar, who had always rarely trusted conspiracy theories, couldn't understand why, so he couldn't calm down, and since the northern tour of the forest, he hadn't been in such heart-rending pain as he was now.
"Brother......" There were tears in the eyes of Gong Yu Liuli, and the little girl knew that her brother was doing his best to suppress his sadness and anger, so those tears flowing from the eyes of the scholar were so distressing to her.
At the last moment of his life, he still believes in the master of this country, how stupid, how ridiculous?
Why is that?
The scholar's eyes were red, as if he had fallen into a spell. He kept asking himself why, why was the most righteous man in the world betrayed in this way? Why is the most despicable person in the world trusted? Among the hundreds of officials, there are a bunch of corrupt people, a bunch of greedy rents, and a bunch of people who rely on their power to make waves. Why do these people live so well?
The father died, in the name of treason. Ming Lang died, and the Ming family's imprisonment that year was also a name of treason.
After all, what counts as treason? What does it mean to be loyal?
Under the rapid breathing, the smartest man in the inn was in a state of confusion in his mind and thinking.
Gong Ruri looked at his brother in fear.
Over the years, it has not been easy for her, but she has always understood one thing, it was even more difficult for her brother to live in Baiyang Academy back then.
Being bullied by so many wicked people, and losing his best friend, even if he made great achievements for the empire, being imprisoned and killing his head was just a matter of the emperor's words, wandering around the empire, between the rivers and lakes and the Tianji Pavilion, but he never belonged to any party, and he didn't have a friend, if he hadn't met the man named Chenhui in his life, if he hadn't had that inn in the arms of the king of Hades back then.
Maybe brother he...... It's going to change.
She didn't know what it would become, but she was afraid of that change.
I am afraid that the brother who is gentle in his heart will change because of the injustice and cruelty of this world.
Gong Ruri hugged the scholar and sobbed softly.
"Glass ......"
The scholar's voice was a little hoarse.
"I'm sorry, Ruri...... It's my dad who was wrong...... If he didn't believe the man...... You wouldn't have had such a miserable life in those years...... Sorry ......"
As if he had lost his soul, there was no light in the scholar's eyes, and he looked at the broken battlefield in front of him in a daze, and his mind was blank.
Gong Ruli shook his head desperately and said many words, but those words did not fall into the scholar's thoughts in the end.
At this moment, the scholar didn't seem to listen to anything. It was a complete collapse.
Qin Xianhuang thought that his words had defeated this young man, he liked this very much, just like the emperor Fenglie in Tiankeng City, he liked to admire the appearance of people after completely losing hope, and he also liked that kind of anger and unwillingness.
Until he has had enough, he will kill the prey one by one.
It's time to wrap it up.
Qin Xianhuang thought so, and then was about to turn around and kill Xiang Wu to end this short-lived farce, but suddenly he frowned and stopped.
Because he saw a young man walking towards the scholar.
Wind Exhibition.
Feng Zhan patted the scholar on the shoulder, and at this moment, Feng Zhan was actually very angry in his heart. But he still had the old ruffian smile on his face.
"It's really rare, you, who should be the most calm person, actually show this dejected appearance, Uncle Ben will definitely remember this scene and go back to talk to the cook and shopkeeper."
The scholar was stunned and did not speak.
"Bookkeeper, I have always admired you, from the moment I rescued those people from the sinkhole, I listened to the shopkeeper talk about you, saying that you are the smartest person in the world."
"But smart people sometimes get confused, right? Hahaha......"
The scholar looked at Fengzhan with some puzzlement.
"Although you are smarter than me, and even a little worse than me, there are some things that I understand better than you. Uncle Ben must say a word for General Shen. ”
Gong Ruri also looked at Feng Zhan, and inexplicably, the fear and anxiety in her heart began to disappear little by little.
She had seen such a smile, as if she were a shopkeeper.
Feng Zhan's face had the brightest smile.
"General Shen Chaoya is one of the people I admire the most."
This sentence shocked the scholar.
"There are many idiots in this world, who stick to their own righteousness and don't care about life or death. For example, my father, his justice is to recover the Chu State, so for so many years, he has been a fugitive from the empire, but he has raised enough troops to fight against the empire. Another example is the shopkeeper, he is a good man, in order to save people, those who don't know each other can even gamble on their future in martial arts. Another example is the cook, such a lowly guy, who never takes a step back in the face of those who are stronger than him. And Wang Hongxi's idiot......"
Feng Zhan's nose was a little sour, and his eye sockets were a little red.
"These guys are like this, once they decide on something, they will sacrifice their lives to do it. There are times when it's really idiotic. In the eyes of a smart man, there are a lot of stupid actions of the shopkeeper, right? But he wanted to do it, so he did it. The shopkeeper is like this, the cook is like this, Wang Hongxi is like this, and my dead ghost father is like this......"
"General Shen is like this."
"There are times when fools are needed in this world, and it is precisely because of the persistence of these people that we understand the value of hope. Uncle Ben doesn't know so many twists and turns, but a true and honest person, he left the last trust to the power of this country, and until the end, he chose to believe in the emperor, thinking that the emperor is worthy of allegiance and can be trusted, and can know that mistakes can be corrected......"
"That's not a bad thing. Although General Shen is really stupid, I admire him! “
"Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve, account, your father just made a wrong judgment in the end, thinking that loyalty and righteousness can be both, because this is the justice that this general has to pursue at the expense of his life, he is indeed wrong, but if you have to deny his actions because of this, it is really stupid!"
The last sentence, Feng Zhan almost roared.
The scholar was silent.
Qin Xianhuang looked at this chattering young man, and finally understood who this person was from his words.
The head of the eight generals of the Eastern Chu Army of Chu, the son of the most wanted criminal in the empire.
After a long time, the scholar's eyes slowly lit up.
Feng Zhan's words woke up the scholar like an initiation.
Looking at the scholar's expression, Feng Zhan knew that this person was now the smartest person in the world.
"This battle is not over yet, what our father did not do back then, and the mistakes left behind, we still have to correct them."
The scholar smiled, and listening to Feng Zhan's words, he let out a long sigh of relief.
said to Feng Zhan, and also to Gong Liuli: "I'm sorry, I'm worried about you." ”
His gaze became firm again, and the scholar turned around and walked towards Di Yueluo, who was restrained by the wind.
Xiang Wu's eyes also had a hint of determination, and Feng Jiang suddenly understood why Feng Zhan was loved by so many generals, and his eyes were full of admiration. And Jiang Yu and Zuo Yue also slowly gathered their strength during this time.
The situation of the Chu army is at an absolute disadvantage, but there is an old saying that is very appropriate at this time.
If the body is not destroyed, it is not defeated.
(It's about to end, there's also a memory about the Dark Sea Battlefield, about the heroine Chen Ling and her father, and I'm still thinking about the details, today is a small explosion, make up for yesterday's break, hehehe.) )
