Chapter IX: Disposition
On the city tower, after some persuasion and adjustment by everyone, Jinglong and Lu Yi finally released their previous suspicions and let the matter pass, in fact, Lu Yi did not have too much mustard in his heart, and from then on, the two sides can trust more, and the cooperation can be more intimate.
The so-called people who do great things are not informal, as long as they are people who are helpful to their great cause, what if they are more tolerant of them?
On the other hand, the person who is obsessed with some things in the past and will repay will not be able to achieve great things, this kind of person must be lonely and lonely, forgiving and reforming, it is always more difficult than revenge, but once successful, the other party will also be desperate for you.
In the history of the human race in the Western Continent, there was a great monarch who said that a man who has a man may not be able to make progress, and an enterprising person may not be able to do something.
The meaning of this sentence is that people with good conduct are not necessarily talented, and talented people are not necessarily free of problems in morality, so it is necessary to recommend and appoint those who are from humble backgrounds but have talents, and select talents, only talent is the most important, and virtue is secondary.
It is precisely because of this kind of breaking the traditional idea of employing people that he became the greatest monarch at that time in one fell swoop, and even deeply influenced the people of later generations, talent and virtue, there is no causal relationship, if a person's talent far exceeds the flaws in his conduct, in the troubled times of the non-peaceful era, it is natural to be appointed, especially for those who want to achieve great causes, even more so, so even if Jinglong injured him on impulse, Lu Yi will not blame him too much, and Jinglong's own starting point is also good.
Lu Yi's pattern is very large, and he also knows the temperament of his prince, so he will naturally not make it difficult for him, which is also a quality that must be possessed by a minister.
Seeing the picture of Wenchen and military generals shaking hands and making peace and working together in front of him, Gu Xuan was also quite emotional, and at the same time trusted Lu Yi even more.
Chen Anmin also took the opportunity to shoot the horses, and praised Mr. Lu and General Jinglong for their joint efforts in humanity and martial arts, which complement each other.
However, just as everyone was immersed in this happy atmosphere, a voice full of anger sounded out inappropriately.
"Lord Wang!"
The young man from Majia Village, who had been following Lu Yi silently, and no one even noticed him, Ma Mingze suddenly broke the good atmosphere and shouted loudly at Gu Xuan.
This sudden voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Everyone looked at the young man in front of them with puzzled faces, and they saw that the brothers of the Ma family all had hideous faces, and their eyes were full of hatred and glaring at Gu Xuan's back.
Everyone followed their gaze, but found that the two of them were staring at the gray-robed woman who was wearing a very cool dress.
These people on the city tower, in addition to the two young people of the Ma family brothers, Chen Anmin, Zhu Dachun, Lu Yi, Jinglong, which is not a person who has passed the age of establishment, everyone has a lot of experience, in this aspect of human sophistication, even if he is stupid and uninteresting when he is young, it has also been sharpened out by the years, as for those who have no background, but the edges and corners cannot be put away, they will not be able to stand here.
In this regard, especially when facing their superiors, they must follow the principle of not looking around, not asking too much, and not taking the initiative to say, this woman actually they saw it early in the morning, but since Gu Xuan didn't take the initiative to introduce, what do they need to ask more? What's more, the prince of his own family is a young man with strong blood, staying here all the year round, and he has nowhere to vent his energy, what is it to find someone to put out the fire?
As the prince's subordinates, it should be their responsibility to find a woman worthy of him for the prince to take care of his daily life and vent his energy, so how can they ask more questions.
It's just that now it seems that it doesn't seem to be like that?
When Gu Xuan saw this, his brows suddenly furrowed deeply, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know her?"
As soon as Ma Mingze's gaze came up, he didn't move away from Black Narcissus's body, and at this moment, his eyes were already full of hatred, almost turning into evil fire and gushing out.
Hearing Gu Xuan's question, he nodded heavily, his voice extremely low and full of anger.
"She is the culprit who destroyed Majia Village!"
"Huh?"
"Is that her?"
"This γγγγγγ β
The others were shocked when they heard this shocking news, the two brothers had followed Gu Xuan to Huangsha County for so long, and they had already integrated into it, and the life experiences of these two people were quickly figured out by outsiders, how Majia Village was destroyed, and how they came to be, naturally understood it clearly, but they didn't expect that the femme fatale woman who ruined their village and ruined their family was the one in front of her.
And she seems to be with the princeγγγγγγ
Seeing that everyone's eyes had become very unkind, Rao is old Jianghu saw Black Narcissus, and his spine tightened, and he hurriedly quibbled.
"You, don't spew blood, what is Majia Village Niujia Village, old, I, I don't know. β
Seeing her cowering and nervous appearance, and even her speech became stammering, anyone with a discerning eye knew that she was just holding on.
Seeing that the murderer in front of him was still quibbling, Ma Mingze was so hateful that he almost gritted his teeth.
"You poisonous woman! I recognize you even if you turn to ashes! Even if your appearance was a little different from now, can your accent be changed? And there is a very obvious scar on your ear, I always remember! As soon as I came up, I thought you were very familiar, but I didn't speak rashly, and after observing for a long time, I was finally able to confirm it until just now, and I see how you still quibble!"
Ma Erhu on the side also roared angrily at Black Narcissus: "It's you, it's you who pretended to marry our Majia Village, and then secretly opened the door and let the horse bandits in! It's you ruthless stinky! You murderer, how dare you quibble!"
That night, the relatives who got along day and night died tragically, and the homes where they lived for generations were destroyed, and now the culprit is in front of him, how can people not hate, but the two have not completely lost their minds after all, and they have not stepped forward to fight directly.
These days, the two farmer-born mud legs have learned the most in the yamen, which is the word rules, and they have not forgotten it even at this time.
Gu Xuan glanced at the black narcissus and explained: "This is what this king met in the desert on the way back, this woman was with a horse bandit at the time, she should have stolen the falcons of the Rakshasa clan outside, and the man was killed by her, because this king wanted to ask her something, so he arrested her by the way." β
The others subconsciously glanced at the Rakshasa people who were still shouting and scolding outside, and then looked at the woman over there, killing their companions had done this kind of thing, and they were suddenly more convinced that the Ma brothers were telling the truth, and naturally they were even more angry.
When Black Narcissus heard this, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he quickly took out the little falcon from his arms, and begged with the last hope: "You let me go, the falcon is yours!"
When Gu Xuan heard this, he just sneered: "A mere falcon, can it be compared to the lives of people in the previous village?"
The brothers of the Ma family suddenly looked grateful, and they all looked at the woman opposite, and said no more, because they knew that their prince would seek justice for them.
Black Narcissus held the falcon worth a thousand gold in his hand, his face was full of grief and regret, and he said in his heart, this is really a flying disaster, after he should have been greedy for this falcon, he sold it for money, and he could wash his hands in a golden basin and return to the mountains and forests, but he didn't expect to meet a ruthless person who ran out of nowhere on the road, and held himself hostage all the way to this kind of broken place, but fortunately he met the previous enemy without dying, this is karma, the cycle is unhappy, everything has its own destiny in the dark, or should it be purely unlucky?
With such a high city wall, and a group of fierce Rakshasa clans like evil ghosts outside, there is a master who can't be beaten at all, this is really no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the ground, where can you run?
However, after being a snitch for so many years, she has done so many tricks and abductions, killing people and goods, and bad things to the bones, she is not without the psychological preparation to be caught, she, or they all know that when they come out to mix, they always have to pay it back, and they can only say helplessly at the moment: "Falcon to you, just ask you to give me a good time, is it okay?"
Gu Xuan shook his head gently: "It's useless to ask for this king, you have to beg the two of them." β
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the two Ma brothers next to him, and then said: "You should know a lot about the details of the gang of horse bandits in the sand sea, talk about it well, it may be useful." β
Lu Yi's expression condensed slightly, and he heard some extraneous sounds.
He hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "This woman is really full of evil, people and gods are angry, and now it has fallen into our hands, but the legal net is restored, negligent but not leaky, the cycle of heavenly reason, it should be so, but you can't just let her die so happily, this is not fair to the person who was killed by her, and this woman should know a lot of secrets, or torture one or two first, lord, I beg you to allow me to interrogate this person with Lord Jinglong!"
Ma Mingze and Ma Erhu on the opposite side looked puzzled at the same time, and at this time, Zhu Dachun, who saw the signs in the evening, reminded in a whisper next to him: "I'm afraid that you two will kill her directly, this kind of cheap goods, naturally you have to concoct one or two well, otherwise how can you be worthy of those victims?"
When the brothers of the Ma family heard this, they nodded thoughtfully, although they hated her to the extreme, but since they came here, everything naturally had to listen to the prince's fate, and the prince's meaning should be to torture her well, the two brothers, there is no reason to be unhappy.
Gu Xuan immediately said to Lu Yi's forehead: "Yes, this matter will be handled by the two of you personally, don't let me down!"
The two immediately stepped forward and bowed their hands and agreed, "Yes, Lord Wang!"
The black narcissus next to her had a dark look on her face at the moment, full of despair, and when she was still swaying whether to directly tie her hands or jump down, suddenly an arrow shot from below.
"Whew!"
Gu Xuan's reaction was extremely fast, he dodged his side face, and the feather arrow suddenly pierced the pillar next to him, because the force was too great, and the tail feathers trembled.
Several soldiers who couldn't dodge next to him screamed miserably and began to retreat in a hurry.
It turned out that the Rakshasas below saw that the scolding was ineffective, and before they were ready to leave, they began to shoot arrows in retaliation.
The Rakshasa people were born in the desert, this hunting is the instinct passed down by the ancestors, the accuracy and strength of the arrow are quite impressive, even in the army, I am afraid that it is also considered an elite column, which is determined by the innate physique and talent, but the Rakshasa people are basically illiterate, and never read, do not understand any tactics and strategies, as if they are beasts, completely follow the instinct to act, so they have never been regarded as a big threat by the countries.
Gu Xuan could only bow down, and ordered in a deep voice: "Take the injured person down to bandage first, and the others will retreat with this king." β
The city walls of Huangsha County are towering, the city gate is thick, these Rakshasa tribes have no siege equipment at all, and they are completely helpless against this turtle shell-like defense, and they don't know where to start, that is, they just shoot arrows casually to vent their anger, anyway, the other party can't come up, as long as some people can notify the rest of the city in time when something unexpected happens.
If you want to make trouble, you can let them make trouble.
The monarchs of the southern land of all dynasties have implemented the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness against these desert knights who come and go like the wind, because the opponent has strong mobility, and is good at horse warfare, and it is the next strategy to fight hard, to deal with them, you only need to build a high wall, rely on the terrain to defend, and the other party will not be allowed to enter.
Especially in Huangsha County, the current strength of Bunsen is not as good as others, how can I be stupid enough to fight hard with others, let the other party scold and shoot arrows, I just don't move.
Gu Xuan's side gave the order, and the others hurriedly agreed, and at that moment, as the chief of the barracks, Zhu Dachun, who was in charge of the city defense, began to shout and order to arrange these soldiers.
Gu Xuan hid next to the battlements with a short body, and glanced at each other with the tall Rakshasa general who was covered in mysterious patterns at the bottom, and the person below immediately scolded in the unskilled Liangguo Youzhou dialect, Gu Xuan's mouth was grinning, and he was happy to see it.
The man only thought that the kid on the city wall was laughing at him, and his expression suddenly became more excited, but his accent was too strange, and he scolded quickly and urgently, no one could understand it at all, and naturally no one cared, seeing that the firepower of the Rakshasa clan below was becoming more and more intense, but Gu Xuan had already gotten up and left with someone.
Gu Xuan, who was walking on the way downstairs, couldn't help but look at the sky in the distance and sighed: "This Rakshasa clan is so good at riding and shooting, if all of them are included in my account, and then trained and taught the art of war, I am afraid that it can be comparable to the elite of the Ninth Army." β
