Chapter 975 - Official Residence 37
What a big person this is, he actually has such a good kung fu, Wei Yan couldn't help but sigh a little, and his heart couldn't help but feel some heroic twilight.
"I don't know what the purpose of General Murong's late-night visit is, is it to take the head of General Xiang?" Wei Yan's tone was very calm, and there was no anger that he had just been coerced.
Murong Shuangshuang was not surprised that Wei Yan guessed her identity, she smiled faintly and said: "Old General Wei is a generation of famous generals, the younger generation is very respectful, today I have the honor to fight with Old General Wei, I can't help but yearn for it, so I came here to take a look at the old general's demeanor, the old general is really old and strong, mighty and extraordinary." ”
Wei Yan snorted coldly, "General Murong is also a young talent, his reputation is famous, the old man has heard of it for a long time, and when I saw it today, he really lived up to his reputation, and he was really good." ”
Murong Shuangshuang blinked, as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Wei's tone, and chuckled: "The old general has praised it falsely, your skills are not bad, not inferior to the young man in the slightest." ”
Wei Yan was indifferent to Murong Shuangshuang's praise, "Needless to say, you and I have different positions, I am a soldier and a thief, there is no common language, since General Murong is here today, if you want to kill me, you have to listen to the respect, but if you want to encourage me to surrender to the thief, you should not open your mouth." ”
Although Wei Yan is a military general, he is an extremely shrewd general, he just guessed the purpose of Murong Shuangshuang's coming here in his heart, although in his heart Wei Yan does not hate a genius female general like Murong Shuangshuang, and even admires it very much, but he will never let Wei Yan betray his loyal emperor.
"What is a soldier? What is a thief? The smile on Murong Shuangshuang's face, which had been light and breezy, burst into it with a hint of irony.
The old general can know that for the people of the world, the so-called officers and soldiers are no different from thieves, they are afraid of the same and avoid them.
The old general also knew how many people had died at the hands of officers and soldiers, and the places where the officers and soldiers passed, like locusts crossing the border, were more hateful than the thieves in the mouth of the old general? ”
Wei Yan's face was cold, completely unmoved by Murong Shuangshuang's words, "If you and others commit rebellion, why would the people have to experience these sword rebellions. ”
"There are countless excesses and miscellaneous taxes, all kinds of forced labor come one after another, the wind and rain are smooth and the land is harvested, but the people are starving to death, if there is a way to live, how can there be so many rebels, in the final analysis, it is just the court itself.
It's a pity that the old general Wei, you are famous, for the court to do your duty, but you were relegated to such a small city as a guard, the loyal ministers above the court will be exiled, how chilling.
Even if the old general can ignore these for the sake of loyalty, then for the old general, it is your loyalty that is important, or the suffering of the people is important.
I know that the old general loves the people in his heart, so the people in this city love the general, but the general has ever faced their suffering, and has he ever thought that the suffering of these people is brought about by the king whom you are loyal. ”
Murong Shuangshuang's words were very inflammatory, but Wei Yan was indifferent, "Even if you have a lotus tongue, you don't want me to betray Your Majesty, I Wei Yan has been loyal and patriotic all my life, and I will never be a traitor and a thief." ”
Murong Shuangshuang knew that Wei Yan was determined, and he didn't think that Wei Yan would be able to persuade with just a few words, so Murong Shuangshuang didn't plan to talk nonsense, but directly stepped forward and slashed Wei Yan unconscious with a knife.
Wei Yan, who was originally on guard, was struck by Murong Shuangshuang without the power to resist, and went down softly, and when Wei Yan woke up, he found that he had moved away from his general's mansion and was sitting on a big rock.
Wei Yan immediately stood up vigilantly and looked around, and found that he was at a city gate, the surrounding was extremely noisy, and there was a lot of people coming and going, there were many small stalls not far from the city gate, all of which sold fruits and tea and snacks, and there were several stalls selling snacks, and there were many people stopping in front of each stall.
At the gate of the city, there were also peasants carrying flat shoulders and selling their own vegetables into the city, and all the people who came and went had smiles on their faces, full of hope and satisfaction.
This prosperous and lively scene that can only be found in a peaceful and prosperous era, Wei Yan was a little trance-like when he saw it, and this scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment was only seen when he was young.
That is the current emperor's grandfather Emperor Wen, although Emperor Wen is a little mediocre, but it is not too serious, the people in some prosperous cities under the rule of Emperor Wen are still passable, at that time, he can occasionally see a lot of people with such smiles in prosperous places.
Later, the emperor became more and more mediocre from generation to generation, and the people were struggling to make a living, so he never saw such a scene full of vitality and making people look happy in their hearts.
What he sees most now is the extravagance of the eunuch's house, the boundless pleasures, and the sad faces of the people who can't raise their eyebrows, the waist that can't stand up under the weight of life, and the cries of pain and despair in the face of taxes and servitude.
However, Wei Yan's psychological quality is very strong, he just came back to his senses after a trance, remembering that he was taken away by Murong Shuangshuang.
In the room before, Wei Yan was already stunned without seeing Murong Shuangshuang's movements, and then as soon as he opened his eyes, he arrived at this place.
Looking back, the girl next to him was wearing a veil, without any weapons in her hands, still wearing that clothes, leaning on the trunk of the tree on the side for a long time to wait for him to come back to her senses, and when she saw Wei Yan looking over, she showed a pure smile at him.
The eyes are crooked, and she looks very simple, as if she broke into his general's mansion before, not to mention that the person who kidnapped him, the enemy general, was not her.
Wei Yan took a breath, a little weak in his heart, he didn't know what Murong Shuangshuang was going to do when he got him out, but he couldn't resist, the other party seemed to be gentle, but in fact he was domineering and strong, Wei Yan was sure that he would not be able to resist the other party unless he fought to the death.
"General Murong, what is your purpose in taking the old man here?" Maintaining a calm face, Wei Yan gave full play to his strong psychological quality, even if he was in a disadvantageous situation, he did not have any sense of panic.
"The younger generation has no malicious intent, but he just wants to invite General Wei to go out to travel with him, but for fear that General Wei will refuse, he has to use some means, and please don't blame the old general." Murong Shuangshuang said with a shallow smile.
Wei Yan stared at Murong Shuangshuang for a long time without saying a word, his momentum was very strong, but Murong Shuangshuang looked at Wei Yan without feeling at all, and his face did not change.
In the end, Wei Yan could only snort coldly, put away his momentum, turned his head and left first, and went directly into the city.
