Postscript - The Past Events
"In two days, you may be able to learn the method of breaking the formation, but you can't learn your father's twenty years of experience." Zhen Shi Niang's eyelids didn't move, "It's the best choice for your father to break the formation!" β
"But ......"
However, my father had sworn in front of the Buddha nine years ago that he could not lead troops.
Moreover, it is a heavy oath made with the life of my mother!
The words rushed to his mouth, and Jian Wu looked straight at his mother and couldn't speak.
ββ¦β¦ But what? Zhen Shi Niang's voice was faint, and she looked at Jian Wu quietly.
Jian Wu pursed his lips.
ββ¦β¦ Brother Wu is worried that your father will break his oath? β
With a sadness in his heart, Jian Wu stubbornly turned his head to the side.
"Your father said that Prince Qi's reinforcements will arrive in Wuta City within five days......" Zhen Shi Niang's voice was slow, and she changed the topic, "For my life, Brother Wu will be in danger of 300,000 sons, and even break the embankment to release water, causing the lives of tens of millions of people in Qi ......" The voice suddenly rose an octave, "Is this for the general?" β
However, he only has one mother!
Moreover, he also knew that water attack was a last resort, so he had to learn the formation from his father and lead the troops to break the formation in person.
"Mother......" Jian Wu's face was purple and red, and his eyes were full of pain.
ββ¦β¦ Didn't Mr. Gu tell you that there is a reason for a husband to do something and not to do something? β
Facing the stern gaze that his mother had never seen before, Jian Wu's face turned from red to white.
Daddy loves his mother, and he loves his mother with his whole life, which he knew as early as nine years ago, when he was a naΓ―ve child.
Nine years ago, his father abandoned everything for his mother, but today, for the lives of 300,000 sons, in order to avoid the lives of tens of millions of people, he broke his oath with his own hands and gave up his beloved mother...... Here it is. What do you do, what do you don't do?
Because since his debut, Ping Yan has destroyed Qi, and the arrogance bred by the smooth journey is gone, and Jian Wu's face is as pale as paper.
"I'll be fine." Zhen Shi Niang's expression eased, and she patted her son's shoulder, "Your father asked you to prepare well." After he broke the Five Elements and Nine Sons Formation, he took Qi Capital in one go. β
As if his mother would be taken away by impermanence in the next moment, Jian Wu threw himself into his mother's arms, "Mother! β
Gently patted his son's shivering back. Zhen Shi Niang sighed faintly. No matter how strong and brave you are. Jian Wu is only a seventeen-year-old boy after all.
The wounded soldiers and baggage were all sent to Wuta City, and the soldiers who were lightly armed and light-loaded were gearing up one by one. As soon as the Five Elements and Nine Elements Formation was broken, he took Qidu in one go.
It's just that it's been two nights and one day, and there is no news from Shen Zhongchi's side.
In the Five Elements and Nine Sons Formation, from the initial shouting and killing array, it was silent, which made the officers and soldiers of the three armies of the Zhou Battalion tense up one by one. Facing Jian Wu's tense face without a trace of a smile that seemed to freeze to death, even the prince hid far away.
Standing in front of the tent door, looking at the rising morning glow in the morning light, Zhen Shi Niang's heart became more and more uneasy.
Another day has begun. Why didn't he have any news at all?
I heard that he single-handedly picked Gele's hundred-year-old ancient formation back then, and it only took three or four hours, this time. Why So Long?
Don't...... He won't break the Five Elements and Nine Sons Formation?
The wildness before Shen Zhongchi's departure flashed in front of him, and that night, he asked her to be so intense. As if she wanted to rub herself into his body, as if she wanted to vent the love of several lifetimes, Zhen Siniang suddenly felt a boundless panic in her heart......
"Zhong Chi!" She raised her feet and ran towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Where is Madame going?" Lily was bringing a cup of fresh goat's milk.
Following Zhen Shiniang for many years, it was the first time for Baihe to see her so gaffe, thinking of the tense atmosphere in the military camp in the past two days, Lily's hand couldn't stop shaking, "Madam! There was a terrible voice with a sense of fear that something terrible was coming.
Zhen Shi Niang's head instantly cleared.
What's the use of going to find Jian Wu?
Do you want to tell him that his father may not have a way to break the formation at all, and let him lead the troops to save him?
If Shen Zhongqi can't be broken, what can Jian Wu do?
Jian Wu had long been irritable like a trapped beast, and if he couldn't hold his breath anymore, he was afraid that he would immediately go crazy and lead his troops to break into battle...... The lives of hundreds of thousands of horses, victory or defeat in one fell swoop, she and Jian Wu must not mess up first.
Be calm, be calm.
When Shen Zhongqi left, he said that if he didn't come back for two days, and then let Jian Wu think of another way to break the enemy, it would only be two nights and one day, he would be fine, he would definitely be fine!
Convincing herself over and over again in her heart, Zhen Siniang took a few breaths before she completely calmed down, she walked back slowly, picked up the goat milk in the tray and drank a big sip.
Xu is the reason for the bad mood, the taste that he is used to drinking on weekdays, and at this time, the river is turned over and Haiti is sad as soon as he enters the mouth.
Bang, the cup fell to the ground, and it was too late to run to the bathroom, Zhen Siniang bent down and vomited.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?" Lily threw the tray and rushed over.
vomited upside down, there was nothing in the stomach, and Zhen Shi Niang let out a sigh of relief.
ββ¦β¦ The slave goes to find General Wu! After waiting for Zhen Shi Niang to wash up again, help her into the tent to rest, Lily turned around and ran out.
"Don't tell him." Zhen Shi Niang grabbed Lily, "I'm fine." β
"Madame!" Lily shouted, seeing Zhen Shi Niang's resolute attitude, she discussed again, "Or, the slave maid will invite Mr. Lu to come?" β
Holding down his chest and reversing a burst of disgust, Zhen Shi Niang smiled reluctantly, "I'm the doctor." Then he commanded, "Go and make me a bowl of porridge." β
Lily went out, and Zhen Shi Niang looked at her wrist and was stunned.
The five fingers trembled slightly, and she was a little afraid to give herself a pulse.
The feeling of nausea just now was exactly the same as nine years ago...... Could it be that Shen Zhongchi's oath has been fulfilled, making her body go back to the way it was, right?
She never believed that.
Nine years ago, in the company of Shen Zhongchi, she practiced the Heart Sutra for two years with a pure heart and little desire, coupled with the unique home remedies brought by Master Yuantong from Qi State, the blood was miraculously cured, although she could not explain it with the medical knowledge she knew, but she didn't think there was any mystery in this, Chinese Qigong has its own profoundness, just like acupuncture, many incurable diseases do not use medicine stones, and a good case is also in later generations.
However, Yuantong is a god-like monk who is rumored to be a god. Don't...... Feeling that her stomach was tumbling over and down again, Zhen Shi Niang's body shook.
"Mother, mother......" Jian Wu's loud voice came in.
Zhen Siniang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly got busy.
Jian Wu stepped into the camp tent, and Zhen Siniang was sitting quietly in front of the table and playing Go, looking peaceful and quiet. "Mother......" Jian Wu involuntarily shouted.
Zhen Siniang raised her head.
"Niang immediately retreats to Wuta City with the prince." Jian Wu sat across from her, "I contacted my eldest brother, and he will pick you up in Wuta City tomorrow." β
"How?"
ββ¦β¦ I'm going to bring someone to pick up my dad personally. He made an agreement with the prince that if the father and son did not return within three days, they would be attacked with water. He deliberately asked the soldiers to bring the kind of life jackets made by his mother, even if he was trapped in the battle, as long as he could find his father. can always get out of trouble when the flood washes away the five elements and nine sub-arrays.
"Have you thought of a way to break the formation?" Zhen Shi Niang's eyes lit up.
"Not ...... yet," Jian Wu's expression darkened.
Lowering her brows, Zhen Shi Niang dropped the white child in her hand, "It's only now, it's still early before dark." β
"Uncle Shi just came back from spying, and there was no movement in the formation at all...... Jian Wu's voice suddenly rose, and there was an anxiety that even he didn't notice, "Dad must be trapped!" "Or. Something has happened.
Shaking his head vigorously, Jian Wu rejected this conclusion.
The fingers holding on the chess box trembled, and Zhen Shi Niang picked up a sunspot. "Shi Hu didn't enter the formation, no one knows what's going on inside, your father let us wait for two days before leaving. We'll just keep waiting. β
"Mother!" Jian Wu stood up in a hurry.
If it were someone else, he might have waited calmly.
However, it was his own father who was trapped!
It's his own father.
It's been two nights and one day, and life and death are uncertain.
How can he still sit in the tent of the Chinese army and wait with peace of mind?
"For the way of the general, Mount Tai jumps forward without changing color, and the elk walks on the left without ...... eyes instantly" In those years, when Shen Zhongqi taught Jian Wu Jianwen the art of war, Zhen Shi Niang often stayed aside, and over time, she could also say a few words in passing, she looked indifferent, and looked at Jian Wu intently.
Jian Wu's face turned from white to red.
"Your father is experienced, and he will never forget the formations he has seen, and he will be fine." Zhen Shi Niang's expression was confident and calm, "It's you, the whole army is looking at you, how can you mess up the battle first." "The sound is quiet, and there is a kind of peace like a spring breeze.
Jian Wu's impetuous heart suddenly calmed down.
"I'll stay put, wait until tomorrow morning." With that, Jian Wu strode out.
Zhen Siniang sat down all of a sudden.
For a long time, she trembled and touched the teapot, jingled, the teacup touched by the teapot jingled, a cup of tea was not satisfied, but the tea was dripping to the ground, and as soon as she put down the teapot, Zhen Siniang weakly buried her face in her trembling palms.
"Madame, ma'am!" Lily's hurried voice.
The body moved, Zhen Siniang slowly raised her head, I don't know when, the sky has darkened, a touch of residual sun is reflected on the table and stool through the low window, red as blood, looking at the long shadow reflected on the ground in a daze, Zhen Siniang has a kind of confusion that I don't know what day it is.
Lily had pushed the door in, "...... Master Yuantong is here. β
YTO Master?
Zhen Siniang was slightly stunned.
What is he here for?
Is it to ask for the promise of the year?
"Amitabha Buddha ......" Master Yuantong clasped his hands together, "Mrs. Shen, we meet again." β
Looking at Yuantong, Zhen Shi Niang's eyes flashed back to that afternoon many years ago......
"The courtiers know......" she looked peacefully at the bright yellow back in front of the window.
Banzai suddenly turned his head and looked at her steadily.
"You know ......" said for a long time, long live, in a deep voice.
"So the courtiers have been following the teachings of Banzai all these years, abiding by their duties, and not daring to interfere in the general's government affairs......" Zhen Shi Niang's voice was calm, calm as an ancient spring.
She is not interfering in internal affairs.
However, what is it to confuse Shen Zhongqi and abandon the official seal!
With an inexplicable irritability in his heart, Banzai turned his back to the window.
The air was dull and suffocating, as if a century had passed.
"Although the sunset is good, the sun will eventually sink in the west......" quietly looked at the bloodthirsty sunset outside the window, the voice of long live was hollow, as if coming from the ethereal clouds, "No one can stop the law of birth, old age, sickness and death, and no one in the world can avoid it...... Including me, there is also a day to drive the crane west! β
Yes, the sunset is infinitely better. It's just near dusk.
Slowly raising her head, Zhen Siniang looked out the window at the bloody remnant sun and was stunned.
"Mrs. Shen herself is a doctor, you should know that Master Yuantong may not be able to save you......" His mind calmed down, and Banzai slowly turned around.
"Without complete certainty, Master YTO will not come." This is the conclusion that Zhen Shi Niang has been thinking about for a day and a night.
Why?
Long live puzzled.
"As a Buddhist. Master Yuantong asked the general to swear that he would never say a word, which was nothing more than to see the lives ruined, and he wanted to prevent a war with his own strength. β
ββ¦β¦ That's why he resorted to a discordant plan! Hooray, aggressively.
He didn't understand, he clearly knew Master Yuantong's tricks, why did Zhen Shi Niang and Shen Zhongqi still believe him so obsessively?
"Knowing is a plan. The general was obsessed and unrepentant, he just wanted to save the lives of his courtiers......" Zhen Shi Niang's eyes were faint, "If the courtier's wife dies in the hands of Yuantong." The general will never really keep his oath, his iron hooves will definitely step on Yan Qi, Master Yuantong ......" she slowly retracted her gaze and looked at Long live, "will also become a sinner in the world's Buddhism." β
Shen Zhongqi has always been a murderous person like Aso. He would rather exchange the next few lives for the next few lives in exchange for the love with her in this life, if he can't get it, how can he keep his oath for good retribution in the next life?
He's a sinister star who doesn't want an afterlife at all!
Yes. has paid so much, if Zhen Shi Niang died, how could Shen Zhongqi be willing. He will surely turn into a vengeful hell refiner. A raging demonic star, he will raze all the Buddhist temples in the world and kill all the monks in the world. Shame on the day with blood! After listening to Zhen Shi Niang's analysis, I remembered Shen Zhongchi's ruthlessness against the enemy, and Long live the spirit.
"The courtiers heard that ......" Zhen Shiniang picked up the information collected by Shi Hu on the table and handed it to Banzai, "Before Master Yuantong came to Da Zhou, he not only met the imperial doctor Yan Qi who had diagnosed the pulse of the courtiers and Xu Yizhen, the divine doctor of Qi who lived in seclusion in the mountains, but also on the way to Da Zhou, he had been looking for famous doctors from all over the world......
He should have really studied her illness, otherwise he wouldn't have come so late, looking at the information in his hand that was more detailed than the information collected by his secret disk, Banzai's five fingers trembled slightly.
Yes, Zhen Siniang is right, as a master who looks at Degao, Yuantong will not be overwhelmed by these, only if he saves Zhen Siniang, Shen Zhongqi will abide by his promise, so as to eliminate this war without blood......
It's just that, in this way, who will complete his great cause of unifying the three kingdoms?
If Zhen Siniang dies, the world will be set off by Shen Zhongqi A greater bloody storm, all he wants is unification, to make the world peaceful, and to let the people of the world live a good life, by no means like this...... However, taking a step back, if he forces Zhen Shi Niang to death now, Shen Zhongqi will also reverse Da Zhou, and they will still fall for the trick...... was woken up by Zhen Shi Niang's words, and Long Live suddenly found out.
Not a simple discord meter.
The arrival of Master Yuantong actually forced him into a dead end.
"He is devoted to the Buddha, and he can't bear to see the lives ruined...... "Long live the voice is filled with righteous indignation, "He is so hard not to see that the emperor of Yan is arrogant and lascivious, and he is tyrannical, even if I don't start a war, the people of Yanqi are living in dire straits!" After planning for so long, let him give up, he was unwilling, "War will kill people, but a war will bring long-term peace, and it will make the people of the world live in peace for a long time. "Is it difficult to do good in this world just by not killing?
Bullshit!
If that were the case, wouldn't this be a world where wicked people are rampant!
Speaking of passion, Banzai slammed the table, and even his breathing became heavy.
Unwilling, unwilling, let him just give up, and he will not be willing to die!
Feeling that the room was very quiet, Banzai also found himself out of shape, his voice stopped abruptly, and he sat down in his chair dejectedly...... In an instant, it seemed like many years older.
Regardless of whether he admits it or not, in this game with Master Yuantong, no matter how he chooses, he loses!
The defeat is clean, the defeat is complete...... Seeing that someone's trap was there, he and Shen Zhongqi had to step into it with one foot!
Suddenly, he could somewhat understand the vicissitudes of despair in Shen Zhongchi's eyes.
"I won't give up like this, I'm not reconciled......" he looked out the window with a vacant gaze.
Because Yuantong is from Yan Qi, she has also deliberately read some secret reports of Yan Guo collected by Shen Zhongqi in the past two days, thinking of Emperor Yan's tyranny, Zhen Shi Niang's heart trembled.
After a long silence, she resolutely raised her head.
"Long live refuses to agree to his resignation as a general, it's just that there is no better candidate for a general." Thinking hard about the wording, Zhen Shi Niang said slowly, "The courtiers heard that because they were dissatisfied with the tyranny of King Yan, the Yan Kingdom was full of complaints, even if the army was not moved, in time, the Yan Kingdom would be in chaos!" She changed the subject, "If Banzai is willing to wait patiently for three or five years before sending troops, the courtiers will have a plan to plan......
Long live's eyes lit up, "Speak!" β
β¦β¦
Unwilling that Shen Zhongqi and Banzai would be calculated by the Yuantong master in front of her like this, and she was even more worried that Shen Zhongqi would become a vengeful evil with no humanity because Banzai forced her to die, she sold her own son and promised that she would persuade Shen Zhongqi to teach Jian Wu the art of war in three or five years, and then assist him in unifying the Three Kingdoms as a civilian...... At that time, she didn't expect that one day, they would face such a dilemma!
Facing the white-eyed and white-bearded Yuantong master in front of him, Zhen Shiniang sighed faintly.
Sure enough, he is a respected master.
I can't calculate it myself.
personally tasted the bitter fruit of the year, Zhen Shi Niang's eyes were full of bitterness.
"The master doesn't want to see the lives ruined, he just wants to eliminate a war without blood......" After careful consideration, Zhen Shi Niang looked at Master Yuantong quietly, "Didn't the master see that Emperor Yan was arrogant and lascivious, and the people of Yan Country had long been living in poverty, even if they didn't use soldiers, they would still live in purgatory......"
Shen Zhongchi's life and death are uncertain, and seeing that reunification is in sight, she wants her family and wife to be separated, she is unwilling!
Her voice was rarely uneven, and she asked word by word, "Is it ...... In the eyes of the master, it is not good to calm the world and let the people of the world live a good life, but only by not killing is doing good? (To be continued.)
