Chapter 47: Last Words
How could Yang Weiyuan be cured by Mr. Changpo? It must be that the army has reached a precarious point, and it is difficult for Liu Yi and Cao Gonggong to control the situation, so they will choose to stimulate his potential and forcibly wake him up when they know that he will die.
As soon as Xu Rui heard that Yang Weiyuan had woken up, he knew that he was no longer saved, and a deep despair suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Xu Zuoling, Xu Zuoling?"
Li Kuang heard the sound of the bed board and shouted twice worriedly.
"Please wait a moment......"
Xu Rui said tremblingly.
Li Kuang had already walked into the room, and when he heard Xu Rui's command, he hesitated a little and retreated to the door.
After a while, Xu Rui finally walked out of the room, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.
Li Kuang took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but Xu Rui didn't give him a chance to speak, and said first: "Let's go, time is limited, don't delay on the road." ”
After speaking, he took a step towards the county office.
The brocade guards on both sides hurriedly surrounded him, Xu Rui didn't care about it, and his feet didn't stop at all, Li Kuang frowned and waved his hand, and several brocade guards retreated.
Li Kuang looked at Xu Rui's back, thoughtfully, and quickened his pace to follow.
At dawn, there was a post in five steps in front of the county yamen, and a sentry in ten steps, and the inner courtyard was even more surrounded by water, and almost all the generals who did not have to be on duty arrived.
As soon as Xu Rui stepped into the inner courtyard, he saw the commander Liang Tongfang kicking the rockery, and walked out of the courtyard angrily.
Xu Rui dodged away and bowed down to him.
Liang Tongfang stopped, glanced at Xu Rui deeply, sighed heavily, and then walked out of the courtyard gate quickly.
Xu Rui looked at his figure, there was no expression on his face, but he sighed in his heart.
In front of Yang Weiyuan's door, Liu Yi sat on the steps, carrying a pot of old wine and drinking alone, while Gonggong Cao on the side paced back and forth, looking anxious.
Seeing Xu Rui walk in, Gonggong Cao was slightly stunned and sat down with the pillars in his arms.
Liu Yi raised his head and asked, "Coming?" ”
Xu Rui nodded.
"They didn't embarrass you, did they?"
Xu Rui shook his head.
After asking these two questions, Liu Yi stopped talking and continued to drink.
The door opened, Han Baixing walked out of the house, his face was very ugly, he glanced around, and saw that none of the three or five groups of generals paid attention to him, so he gritted his teeth and walked out alone, as if he didn't see him when he passed by Xu Rui's side.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Changpo also walked out of the room, and saw that Xu Rui rarely did not speak ill of each other, but just shook his head and said, "Go ahead, time is running out." ”
Xu Rui's heart sank and bowed deeply to him.
Mr. Changpo's body flashed, dodging Xu Rui's gift, shook his head again, and walked out with the medicine box.
"Go ahead."
Liu Yi turned his back to the door and said a word, I don't know if he didn't want to or didn't dare, in short, he didn't look back.
Xu Rui took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, pushed open the door and walked in.
At this time, Yang Weiyuan was the only one in the room, he was leaning on the bed, covered with a quilt, and his breath was very weak, because the arsenic damaged the intestines, causing incontinence, the bed was full of filth, and a strong stench could be smelled.
Xu Rui suddenly felt an unprecedented sadness, both for Yang Weiyuan and for himself.
Seeing Xu Rui come in, Yang Weiyuan's sluggish eyes suddenly had a hint of brilliance, pointed to the edge of the bed, opened his mouth, and finally shouted a hoarse voice: "Sit ......"
Xu Rui felt a pain in his heart, hurriedly closed the door, walked quickly to the bed, and sat down regardless of the filth on the bed.
A hint of relief flashed in Yang Weiyuan's eyes, and he nodded with difficulty and said, "Good boy...... Father-in-law didn't misread you......"
Xu Ruiyi grabbed Yang Weiyuan's hand and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak.
Although he only lived for sixteen years, two worlds were at war, and as a first-hand witness of war, he had seen too many lives and deaths, but none of them were as heavy as today.
Yang Weiyuan raised his right hand and pointed to the wooden box on the table, Xu Rui hurriedly went over and took the wooden box, opened it and saw that it was the exquisite small box he had seen in the carriage that day.
Yang Weiyuan said: "I originally wanted to choose a good daughter-in-law for you personally...... I don't have a chance now, remember...... Remember to find a ...... Find a woman who cultivates both blessings and wisdom......"
Xu Rui remembered the scene of the two people in the carriage pushing their hearts again, his heart was sour, he took the box into his arms, and kept nodding.
Yang Weiyuan sighed: "I also blame my father-in-law...... It was because I was too busy with military affairs to take care of the house, so I neglected to discipline the three sons in the family, which made your stepmother resentful...... Affect you...... Suffered a lot. ”
Xu Rui shook his head and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Weiyuan, only to hear him continue: "I know...... You hate them, you want revenge, that's why you got into the dark chess...... But the price for a man's growth is too great...... There is a slight mistake on the road of life...... It's hard to turn back.
OK...... Fortunately, fortunately, you still turned back, and you did a good job, although your stepfather is not ...... It's not like you, but you look at people very accurately, and you will become a great tool in the future, remember, remember a sentence......
The means and tricks are all small roads...... Big Husband ...... Big husband ......"
"The means and tricks are all small roads, the big husband should have the courage to keep the bottom line for a long time, and he must not destroy his future for the sake of shortcuts! The child remembers, father, the child remembers! ”
Seeing that Yang Weiyuan was struggling to speak, Xu Rui hurriedly spoke, and the crazy emotions could no longer be suppressed, and two lines of tears rolled down.
Yang Weiyuan cracked his mouth and laughed hard.
"I just said that it was the dark chess man who harmed me, the murderer...... Not you. But he didn't say it...... I didn't say who I was...... I know you must have your plans...... I don't want to sabotage your plan, but expose your identity......"
"Yes, the children already have a plan, and they will not be allowed to harm the children, let alone let them go unpunished!"
"That's good...... It's all about safety, if you can't do it...... Might as well...... You might as well put up with him for a while until the situation is reversed...... It's not too late to deal with them again......"
"The children understand, the children understand!"
"Good! For the rest of the way, my father-in-law can't accompany you...... Beiwuwei will hand it over to you...... Be sure to ...... Gotta bring everyone back to ......."
"Rest assured father-in-law, the child will definitely live up to his father-in-law's trust, and swear to live and die with Beiwuwei!"
Yang Weiyuan nodded in satisfaction, and blood flowed from the corners of his eyes and nostrils.
Xu Rui felt a lot of pain in his heart, and hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve, but the blood was like a faucet that couldn't be tightened, the more he wiped it, the more he wiped it, he couldn't wipe it clean.
Yang Weiyuan tried to turn his head to the side, dodging Xu Rui's hand, frowning and hesitating for a while, then gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Jingyang is defeated, although the Holy Lord will not condemn me after my death, but the title of Marquis of Jingwu may ...... I'm afraid not.
My three sons...... Stubborn ...... Stubborn, unlearned, stupid...... He will ...... one day Woe will come, but if you are in your power, help me...... Help me take care of one or two......"
Xu Rui nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the child swears in front of you, no matter what, I will ensure that your incense will not be extinguished!" ”
"Good, good...... So...... So the stepfather was relieved...... Good boy, you're out of ...... Father-in-law Jiuquan went down to see your father, and there was no ...... I'm not ashamed, it's a pity...... It's a pity that I can't see you grow up......"
Yang Weiyuan grinned, but he couldn't make a sound, and coughed violently in the middle of the laugh, Xu Rui was in a hurry, and hurriedly supported him and gently patted his back with his hand.
But instead of abating, the cough grew heavier and heavier, first thick bloody sputum, then dark red poisonous blood, coughing from his mouth all over the bed.
Xu Rui gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, unwilling to see the tragic scene of the hero's twilight.
At this time, the coughing stopped abruptly without warning, Yang Weiyuan leaned on Xu Rui, his body fell asleep softly, Xu Rui trembled, his teeth "creaked", sadness rushed to his head like a tide, and tears rushed out like a burst.
He hugged Yang Weiyuan in his arms, buried his face in his shoulder, his neck was bruised, and his mouth made a small and urgent "whining" sound.
On October 21, the fifteenth year of Hongwei, the general of the Great Wei State was the second rank of Dingguo, the rank of secretary of the military department, the commander of the Northern Wuwei, and the general Yang Weiyuan, the marquis of Jingwu, fell, and when he died, the feces and urine flowed sideways, and the seven orifices bled out.
Xu Rui, the leader of the personal guard battalion, hugged his corpse and cried silently.
When Xu Rui left the room in a trance, the sun was already setting, he didn't remember how long he had been inside, but he vaguely remembered that someone pushed open the door later, saw him holding Yang Weiyuan's corpse, and hurriedly forcibly pulled him away.
Then a lot of people came, some cried, some were angry, and some were sinking like water, and he shrank in the corner and quietly looked at Yang Weiyuan's body.
The body was quickly carried away, but he still shrank motionless in the corner, not knowing who was guarding or waiting, until Liu Yi forcibly pulled him out of the room, and the cold wind brought snowflakes into his collar that he gradually came back to his senses.
"It's snowing......"
Xu Rui stretched out his palm and watched the goose-feather-like snow slowly fall from the lead-gray sky, and then turned into a drop of ice water in his palm.
Liu Yi leaned on the pillar and didn't speak, the wine jug in his hand was already empty, and he didn't turn his head from beginning to end, I don't know if it was because he was afraid of being seen by Xu Rui.
Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the courtyard, Liang Tongfang walked in from outside the door with red eyes, and went straight to Xu Rui, looking like he was going to tear Xu Rui to pieces.
Liu Yi frowned, stepped the front half, and blocked in front of Xu Rui, but Xu Rui came out from behind him and puffed up his chest.
As soon as his father-in-law left, Xu Rui was reluctant to escape at this time, even in the face of the anger of the soldiers.
In his heart, he has always felt that Yang Weiyuan's death is related to him, if he is not paralyzed and careless, if he is not worried about his safety, all this may not happen.
He even hoped that Liang Tongfang would beat himself up, and even he didn't know if he was punishing his sins in this way.
Liang Tongfang walked to a foot in front of Xu Rui and stopped.
Liu Yi snorted coldly and said, "What are you doing here?" Get out! ”
Liang Tongfang bowed deeply to Liu Yi, and then bent his legs and knelt in front of Xu Rui.
Both of them were stunned, but they heard Liang Tongfang say in a deep voice: "Old Liang, I am a rough man, I made a mistake when I was young, and I fell into the grass, if there is no accident, I will probably be caught and beheaded by the imperial court."
Meng Dashuai did not give up, and included me in the army, and then followed Dashuai to fight in the south and north for more than 20 years, and then he became the commander of Zheng Sipin.
Without Dashuai, there would be no Lao Liang today, but now Dashuai was killed by traitors, Lao Liang has a brave body, but he doesn't know who to find for revenge, every time he thinks of this, Lao Liang can't wait to cut himself with a knife!
Xu Zuoling, you are full of wisdom, and you have no last resort, even compared with the king of the soldier saint Wuling, Lao Liang does not ask for anything, today he begs for his life with his life, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life, I only ask you to avenge the handsome! ”
After speaking, Liang Tongfang kowtowed heavily, and there were three muffled sounds, like a hammer hitting the wall, and his head suddenly opened and his flesh was blurred.
"Liang Tongfang, you ...... Hey......"
Liu Yi saw that his face was covered with blood and sighed.
Liang Tongfang ignored the bleeding forehead and stared at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui glanced at him, without the slightest pity, but said lightly: "Don't worry, I will avenge my father-in-law's revenge, and no one can run away!" ”
After speaking, he suddenly smiled, as if winter had gone to spring, and the snow had passed and the sky was clear, Liu Yi and Liang Tongfang looked at him in surprise, but he didn't realize it, and strode out of the small courtyard.
The knife is to kill after all; Blood debt, naturally, must be paid with blood!
Xu Rui's tears dried on his face, and only a cold smile remained.
