Chapter Ninety-Seven: True and False

The day after the military test, Ouyang Xi had already sent a master in the army to protect Shen Xiaolie and go to Tieli.

In the past, after the military test, even if an excellent blade or even an exceptionally good person was selected, he would stay in Kyoto and cultivate for a while before being sent to the front. Because in the eyes of the soldiers, it is a talent to be able to talk about soldiers on paper, but it takes time for talent to become a matter of time, and soldiers are unwilling to entrust the lives of soldiers to a newcomer who has no actual combat experience.

But he talked to Shen Xiaolie that night, and at first he just came to greet him, and by the way, he wanted to give this fifteen-year-old child a little bit of disgrace. But since Ouyang Xi's conversation, the rhythm of topic dominance has been on Shen Xiaolie's side.

He went straight to the point and pointed out the reasons for the defeat against Tie Li now, and every sentence was straight to the point, and even Ouyang Xi didn't remember some places. Ouyang Xi didn't have time to say anything, so he was immediately diverted by Shen Xiaolie's suggestion.

And what I thought was a simple conversation slowly turned into a long conversation, and finally turned into a candlestick night talk.

Ouyang Xi's attitude has also changed from wanting to make trouble for Shen Xiaohunt and liking Shen Xiaohunt very much, and he admires Shen Xiaohunt. So that night, he was going to arrange someone to escort Shen Xiaolie to Shuangchuan.

Shen Xiaolie only needed an hour to say goodbye to Gongyi Liuli.

Gong Yu Liuli knew that his brother's actions today shocked the Manchu Dynasty, even the housekeeper Lao Xu has been waiting for Shen Xiaolie, the old housekeeper is also an iron-blooded person, if he was not seriously injured back then and could no longer fight, I am afraid that he should be Xiang Wu's deputy general now. Over the years, Lao Xu has been looking at the various deeds of scholars, and he knows that this child's forbearance is not easy. Over the years, of course, he should take care of Shen Xiaolie, but in order to cooperate with Shen Xiaolie's nine-year-long bitter plan, even he can't be too good to Shen Xiaolie.

Now, Shen Xiaolie has finally succeeded in winning the first place in the military test, and Lao Xu is also happy for Shen Xiaolie, and happy for his own master.

And Gongyu Ruri finally understood why his brother would destroy those wooden mechanism models before, but he kept making himself design various drawings without stopping.

That night, Shen Xiaolie asked for a lot of drawings of the glaze.

Ruri also always remembers the conversation that night.

"Liuli, this time the Tieli Kingdom is menacing, just relying on strategy and tactics, it is difficult for my brother to defeat the Tieli Kingdom in a short time, so you need the mechanical weapons of these public losers you designed before. But you have to make sure that you can make more powerful weapons than these. ”

"Okay, brother, I remember. Brother, you have to come back early. ”

"Liuli, we must ensure that we will always have absolute use value, in order to live in a world that does not believe in loyalty. My brother will be back soon. ”

"Brother, human life is really easy to take away. Brother, you have to promise Liuli that you can't die. ”

"That Liuli also has to promise his brother to live well, and he will live more strongly in the future. Let those who protect us also be protected by us. ”

Gong Yu Liuli nodded sensibly, Shen Xiaolie's words were a kind of warning, but for Gong Yu Liuli, this became another kind of creed.

Minglang's death is a kind of entrustment that must be completed for Shen Xiaolie. It's a debt that has to be repaid no matter what.

Blood debts need to be paid in blood.

As for the public loss of Liuli, Minglang's death made the little girl have another experience. The nine-year-old was remorseful. She blamed herself for her weakness and ignorance, and also blamed herself for angering Wang Zheng in order to save herself.

She lamented even more the fragility of people.

"Brother, if I learn all the tricks of the public loser in the future and get that umbrella, will I become very strong and strong?"

"At that time, you will be an existence that all the countries of the entire continent are vying for, and even would rather destroy you than let you fall into other countries, and Liuli, that day will not be too far away, the upcoming battle of Tieli Kingdom, the people in the military department will notice your talent, if you can't be used by the empire, you will become an enemy of the empire."

It is rare to see my brother with such a dignified demeanor.

"Brother, can't we use it for the Empire?"

Shen Xiaolie was silent for a long time, and he sighed: "I hope that one day, I can take you to be the freest person in the world, and our identity will no longer have any entanglement with the empire." β€œ

Gongyi Liuli smiled happily: "Does my brother think so too?" β€œ

Shen Xiaolie nodded and said: "Liuli, many times, we can't help ourselves, but those things that we can't help ourselves, just let my brother do it." After all, one day, you will take off Shen Liuli's name and become a public loser Liuli, and before this day comes, you have to become strong enough. It's so strong that no one can help you. ”

"My brother will always be my brother."

Shen Xiaolie looked at the public loss glaze with pity, he already knew the price of this battle, and he also calculated what would happen to the public loss glaze later.

Shen Xiaolie suddenly said: "Liuli, are you afraid of killing?" ”

Gong Ruri didn't know what this sentence meant. She looked at Shen Xiaolie a little blankly.

Shen Xiaolie didn't say anything more, the people from the military department had already arrived.

On the second day after Shen Xiaolie left, people began to slowly reminisce about the events of the day of the military test. The children of the Shen family have been doing all kinds of dirty work since they were six years old.

Xiang Wu knelt down to the life of the Shen family's child, but the fate of the son of the criminal minister should have been very miserable, and only if it was miserable, it would not be noticeable. But people ignore one point, what reason does Xiang Wu have to be miserable to him?

This is a question that few people look into.

It's just that Shen Xiaolie should be miserable, and in fact it is also miserable, this is reasonable, in Baiyang Academy, Shen Xiaohunt became stupid, which made people's hearts even more joyful, as if some invisible threat disappeared.

But now, that sense of crisis has struck again, and it is even more turbulent.

No matter how calm they are, they can feel a chill deep inside. Yes, whoever is counted by a child in nine years, that is, sixty percent of the years of his life, will feel the chill.

But Wang Zheng and a few officials still have one idea, the Yan family is on his side, and His Majesty listens to the Yan family. And the war in Tieli Country has been going on for more than half a year, what if Shen Xiaolie goes? There will be the first place in the military test every year, even if he is the first in the military test, can he really end the war magically? What if it's over? How could he overturn an accusation made up out of nothing?

They don't believe it.

But soon, this disbelief began to turn into doubt, and slowly, to fear.

In the end, it turned into despair.

It only takes half a month for Frost River to get to Kyoto, and a month later, it is half a month after Shen Xiaolie reaches the front line of Frost River. Soon, Kyoto, received good news from the front.

General Tie Li retreated to the Fog Prison Valley.

The Tieli army, which had originally pressed to the Frost River Realm, retreated for the first time, and retreated to the Fog Prison Valley, which was extremely far away from the empire. After receiving the news, the little emperor and the father and son of the Yan family were extremely happy.

It is expected that Xiang Wu is worthy of being the number one general of the empire, and now that the Tieli people have retreated to the Fog Prison Valley, then at least the Qin State is not in danger of territory for the time being.

And for the next month, the two armies faced each other as if they were fighting a war of attrition. All of them did not move.

The officials who were originally a little worried because of the good news, compared to Wang Zheng, felt that they could sit back and relax at the moment, the death period of the Ming family was still two months, and there was no proof of death at that time. And even if Shen Xiaolie rushes back, it will take half a month. That is, in less than two months, how could he have a way to find the so-called evidence from the Tie Li Army that occupied the Heavenly Danger Fog Prison Valley?

However, things really caught Wang Zheng by surprise, in fact, it didn't take two months at all.

Only a month later, Shen Xiaolie returned to Beijing. And his return to Beijing alarmed the entire government and the opposition. It can even be said that it alarmed the entire continent.

Although in the records of historians, only the general Xiang Wu is mentioned, many people in Kyoto know that Shen Xiaolie is the source of this shock.

It's just that his official position is low, or he has no official position in the first place. So it wasn't recorded.

Shen Xiaolie and Xiang Wu returned to Beijing, and at the same time, they brought back the three princes of Tieli Kingdom.

People originally thought that the Tieli army's retreat to the Fog Prison Valley would inevitably become a stalemate, as evidenced by Xiang Wu's one-month immobility. But how did they know that the immobility of the troops that month was just Xiang Wu's stepping up to create the weapons of the public losers.

Prior to this, Shen Xiaolie had already prepared all the marching routes and timing of the troops when he arrived at the barracks, and he had already set a strategy with Ouyang Xi on the way here, but most of the strategies were not understood by the officers and soldiers in the army. For example, surprise attacks.

People thought that it would be possible to repel the Tie Li Kingdom until the snow melted in the summer, but Shen Xiaolie said that the Tie Li Kingdom would inevitably attack before the arrival of summer, and pointed out where the Tie Li Kingdom might be now, but no one believed what a fifteen-year-old child said. No one wants to risk the lives of soldiers.

In the end, the general Xiang Wu, relying on the strength of the Extreme Realm, single-handedly broke into the ambush location of the Tieli Kingdom inferred by Shen Xiaolie, and confirmed everything that Shen Xiaolie had deduced.

So, of course, Tie Li's onslaught failed, and he retreated to the Fog Prison Valley.

The people in the army began to change their opinion of Shen Xiaolie, and immediately after, Shen Xiaolie took out the drawings of the public loss glaze, and asked Xiang Wu to arrange for manpower to step up the manufacturing, to take advantage of the fact that the spring is not over, and when the Tieli people think that they will never attack, use the weapons of the public loser to carry out a surprise attack.

The result was a resounding victory. Before the raid, Shen Xiaolie informed Xiang Wu of what happened in Beijing, and Xiang Wu sighed that this old man was really as the old man said back then, it was a great help for himself, and he also sighed Shen Xiaolie's forbearance.

Shen Xiaolie only asked Xiang Wu for one thing, as a dragon general whose strength could be compared to the number one in the world, he begged Xiang Wu to capture the general of Tie Li Kingdom in the battle of Fog Prison Valley no matter what.

In that battle, Xiang Wu was extremely brave, Shen Xiaolie watched the first person of the empire in the Extreme Artistic Realm kill in all directions, thinking about the guy who had to protect himself, if that guy could endure it, if that guy didn't meddle so much, that guy might be able to become a person like Xiang Wu in the future.

The snow slowly stopped. In the end, the Fog Prison Valley was not captured, but the Tieli Kingdom suffered heavy losses, and the weapons of the public loser were extremely domineering, which caught the Tieli people off guard.

Shen Xiaolie stood outside the barracks, watching the triumph of those soldiers, and also looking at the prisoner cart behind the dragon general Xiang Wu. He knew he had won.

……

The next thing is probably the nightmare of the Wang family. Wang Zheng never thought that he would die because of a waste. He is a dignified first-class official, but because he offended a fifth-grade official, he will become a prisoner.

On that day, on the top of the main hall. Shen Xiaolie's eyebrows and eyes seemed to be a mocker who was extremely mean, and he used a mocking tone to tell the Ming family's rebellion full of loopholes.

Most crucially, he has a witness. The third prince of Tieli Kingdom. It's a terrible thing, and it's something that those officials couldn't believe before, like the military test.

Shen Xiaolie won the first place in the military test, not to mention, but also ruthlessly defeated the examiner.

And people thought that even if Shen Xiaolie's first battle was to be won, he would not win too quickly. But who knows, not only did he win quickly, but he also captured the generals of Tieli Kingdom.

Shen Xiao hunted his people, and now those who offended him found that they seemed to have provoked a very terrible enemy.

Shen Xiaolie promised the three princes of Tieli Kingdom that as long as he helped him frame a group of imperial officials, he would let him go. This is naturally a good thing for the prince of Tieli Kingdom, because in his opinion, it is the courtiers of the empire who die anyway.

As a result, all the families represented by the sons and daughters of the powerful who had bullied Shen Xiaolie and Gongyi Liuli in Baiyang Academy involved a total of 26 officials from the government and the opposition, including Wang Zheng, the first imperial historian of the dynasty, all of whom were accused by Shen Xiaolie, and all of them were admitted by the prince of Tieli Kingdom that they had private contacts.

When they insisted that this was slander, Shen Xiaolie even found the letter. This letter, of course, is a forgery. Letters made out of nothing, the letters mentioned the names of those officials, with the names of the princes of the Tieli Kingdom, and most importantly, the handwriting of the letters was the same as that of Wang Zheng.

On the day he woke up, he was also above the court, and the jealousy of Shen Xiaolie in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

On that day, when Shen Xiaolie persuaded himself to keep the Ming family's life, Shen Xiaolie did not ask for anything, except that he wanted to read a letter between the Yan family and Wang Zheng. Yan Xing didn't expect that Shen Xiaolie was trying to imitate handwriting.

At this moment, Yan Xing only felt that Shen Xiaolie's far-sightedness was not missing, even if he had already thought that he could repel the Tieli army, and even if he could capture the generals of the Tieli Kingdom, he had already thought of how to prove the innocence of the Ming family.

Each of these three things is very variable, but each of them, Shen Xiaolie has done it.

Wang Zhengji, and the officials in the family represented by the powerful children of Baiyang Academy kept shouting grievances. They pinned their last hope on the Yan family, and they believed that the little emperor would eventually give all the choices to the Yan family, and the Yan family would definitely help them overturn the case.

Yan Xing also thought so, he felt that Shen Xiaolie's methods were too thunderous, not only to save Wang Zheng, but also to kill so many people at once, he couldn't accept it.

But something I didn't expect happened.

The emperor, who blindly follows his words on weekdays, is furious today, and Long Yan is furious! scolded those officials for being disloyal and unjust, and colluding with foreign enemies. kept scolding, as if it was not the emperor, but the son of a certain landlord who was asking for debts, and he was scolding all the officials.

People only think that the little emperor is too naΓ―ve, and it is so easy to believe Shen Xiaolie's words, but the little emperor seems to be very stupid, and the more he scolds, the more angry he becomes. In the end, he didn't seem to be relieved, and he mentioned a word very brutally.

Chop.

Wang Zheng was so frightened that the pipe hat on his head fell off, and he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and the rest of the officials did the same. It was as if the floor of the main hall was going to be shattered.

But the little emperor seemed to be extremely angry. There is no chance for the officials and ministers to defend this group of people at all.

Yan Xing looked at the emperor, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

The scholar once said that His Majesty the Emperor may be testing the speaker. The Emperor may have been an extremely intelligent emperor. Now the scholar feels that Shen Xiaolie is right.

That night, Wang Zheng and 26 other officials were all imprisoned. And before the case was tried, he was sentenced to death.

At the same time, not far from the outskirts of Nishijomon, a horse-drawn carriage was rapidly heading west, trying to get away from Kyoto.

But the carriage was stopped by two men.

A nine-year-old girl and a teenager dressed as a scholar. The carriage was stopped. The person in the carriage was Wang Chengyu, who absconded in fear of crime.

When Wang Chengyu saw that it was Shen Xiaolie and Gongyi Liuli who came to stop him, he smiled, thinking about how he could clean up the two wastes.

But soon, Wang Chengyu was shot by the improved crossbow in the hands of Gong Yu Liuli, and the powerful arrow passed directly through Wang Chengyu's body.

And then......

Started firing non-stop.

Wang Chengyu's expression changed from anger to fear, and in the end, he opened his eyes and did not blink.

He didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy, he was hit by one hundred and sixty-two arrows, and none of his body was intact.

……

Three months later, the emperor secretly summoned Shen Xiaolie and reached some kind of agreement, and Shen Xiaolie officially entered the Tianji Pavilion. The dragon general Xiang Wu took the public loss glaze to find the treasure house of the public loser, and helped the public loser to obtain the artifact of the public loser, and everything changed from the middle umbrella.

Because of the weapons of the first battle of the Fog Prison Valley of the Tieli Kingdom, the people in the military department finally began to trace the source of the weapons and found the public loss glass. Shen Liuli's true identity was finally revealed, and Xiang Wu originally wanted to hide it. But Tianji Pavilion, the military department is investigating.

This pair of brothers and sisters with different surnames, Shen Xiaolie and Gongyi Liuli, are finally going to embark on their own paths. Because the threat of the public loser is no less than the dragon general Shen Chaoya back then. And Shen Xiaolie, who played the waste for nine years, survived.

But now that she is less than ten years old, she is not a waste, and her ability is very terrifying.

People began to realize the impact of powerful weapons on the war, so even Xiang Wu began to be afraid of the future public loss of Liuli.

It's just that the scholar said a word.

"As long as the empire still has me, as long as Liuli will never be an enemy of the empire. In the future, for the safety of Liuli, I will arrange everything about Liuli, and only I know Liuli's whereabouts, even Uncle Xiang will not know. But you don't need to worry about Liuli's weapons being used by people from other countries. ”

"My father is a loyal general, although he also died of loyalty, but in the eyes of the world, my father's loyalty is undoubted, and I will not destroy these two words."

Shen Xiaolie and Gongyi Liuli separated. Xiang Wu believed in Shen Xiaolie, but Shen Xiaolie knew that his hard days were over for the time being, and Liuli's hard days might have just begun.

When Liuli turned ten years old, she was already the only one alive and the last head of the loser.

In the last eight years of Shen Xiaolie's reign, it belonged to the military camp.

In the last eight years of the public loss of glaze, it belongs to the rivers and lakes.

Years later, the little girl turned into a young girl who was indifferent to life. But she always remembered who gave her life. She has always left her loveliest side to her brother.

She is waiting for the day when his brother will take him and live the freest life.

That day, Shen Xiaolie was also waiting, over the years, his name has gradually been forgotten, because he looks like a scholar, and he is well-read, and he also slowly corrected others to call his name and let him be called a scholar, he wants the world to forget Shen Xiaolie.

Because only one day, when people stop paying attention to him, will he find that opportunity to live a truly free life.

Shen Xiaolie didn't know how long that day would come.

He doesn't even take Minglang's words very seriously anymore.

Until the thirtieth year of the Qin calendar, he and Xiang Wu defeated the Tieli Guoyun cavalry in a battle in the Fog Prison Valley, and then escaped from the arm of Hades. On the way, he came across an inn.

The innkeeper was a young man as big as himself, and the food at the inn was very unpalatable.

The name of the inn is very strange, it is called the Last Floor Inn.

But what surprised him the most was that the shopkeeper had a pair of eyes that were as bright as they were.

At that moment, when he walked into the inn, he suddenly thought of the first floor of the world where he lived in the past. He suddenly remembered Minglang's last words before he died.

One day, I will meet someone who treats me like a brother. The scholar didn't know if he would have such luck in his life, but after the battle in the Fog Prison Valley, he came to Qinzhou and saw the shopkeeper again.

As the shopkeeper went through two battles, his desire for freedom became stronger than ever. He looked at the shopkeeper's casual indifference, and suddenly he became extremely tired of the wars.

There are countless encounters in this world, some encounters are legendary, some encounters are like firewood, rice, oil and salt, some encounters are like a fleeting epiphany, and some encounters are destined to be missed.

The meeting between the shopkeeper and the scholar is the beginning of a lengthy story.

(Actually, the first meeting between the scholar and the shopkeeper was not in Qinzhou City, it was the Hades arm mentioned in the first chapter, which is not a pit, but it is not bad to talk about it now.) Then the chapter of the scholar chapter is actually very rushed, because there are many places in this chapter that can be written in detail, such as where Wang Chengyu died, such as the battlefield of Shuangchuan, such as Shen Xiaolie's washing of the grievances of the Ming family, and the detailed writing will be more infectious, and when this book is finished in the future, I will modify and expand some chapters, and I will not do it now. Because it is a bit biased to write the scholar part again. But the character of the scholar, who is not high in martial arts, is indeed a character I like very much. This chapter is more than 6,000 words, and as a handicapped, 6,000 words is a blast for me. οΌ‰
