Chapter Seventy-Four: For Whom?
Chapter Seventy-Four: For Whom?
Mo Wentian is an out-and-out Hun man, although he and the medicine gourd can become friends, but it is based on mutual appreciation, and he does not regard the medicine gourd as a Han person.
However, the threat of the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions became increasingly serious, first thwarted the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu retreated to Mobei in embarrassment, and then attacked Dawan, relying on the strong bloodshed of the small country to invade Dawan, and also became an ally. The ambitions of the Han Dynasty are well known to the world, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not satisfied with expelling the Xiongnu at all, he wants the entire Western Regions.
Mo Wentian never hid his dislike for the Han people, especially the Han royal family, and the people at the pinnacle of power were the most hateful. They wield absolute power and enslaved ordinary people to achieve their ambitions. It's not all poor people who are empty-handed, powerless, and powerless!
They defended the national prestige of the Han Dynasty with their lives, but all they received was worthless praise, and some people were not even qualified to be praised, and no one knew who their names were. Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty may have some truth in expelling the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu have long harassed the border of the Han Dynasty and robbed the Han people of their food, but it will not be so ruthless to kill them all! Besides, the king of Dawan was greedy and murdered the Han envoys, and the Han army's crusade seemed to be human nature, but why implicate other small countries!
Mo Wentian was a Xiongnu, and he was biased towards the Xiongnu, he could not look at the problem objectively, and he could not give a fair judgment on who was right and who was right at war between the two countries. He only saw that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was unforgiving, ignoring the deadly threat of the Xiongnu to the Han people, of course, from the standpoint of the Han people, the Xiongnu were even more hateful and should destroy the country and the people.
The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, it is difficult for the black and white world to say clearly, the winning side represents justice, that is, the truth, and the defeated person is not qualified to speak.
Mo Wentian has lived to this age, and he has seen things in the world very lightly, but after all, he is still a little bloody. He can save the Han people without asking for anything in return, but he can't face the princess of the Han family calmly. In his eyes, the princess of the Han family and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are in a group, they are plotting to occupy the Western Regions, on the surface, they are the princesses who came to make peace, but in fact they are the eyes of the Han Dynasty, intending to disintegrate the conspirators of the Western Regions.
Mo Wentian's idea is right, but from Liu Ye's standpoint, her approach is also right, each is his own master, each doing his own thing, and it is really normal to dislike each other.
But for Tu Qitang, Liu Ye is all he has, and what Liu Ye wants to get, even if he grabs it, he will grab it. The Han Dynasty and the Western Regions have been in conflict for a long time, and it is not something that can be clearly explained in a few words, nor can it be solved by ordinary people, let alone by grinding their mouths to distinguish the winner from the loser.
Although Mo Wentian is a rare master, his skills can be described as terrifying, if he really intends to deal with them, he will not be left alive in half an hour. But so what? If he's a master, can he let him do whatever he wants? If you can't beat him, at least you have to argue! If you lose, you don't lose the battle, even if you know that you are not an opponent, you still have the momentum to overpower him!
Tu Qitang has never been an ordinary person, he has endured the trials that ordinary people can't stand anymore, and he can even get out of the sword mountain and the sea of fire alive. Death, for him, is really not worth mentioning, as long as he dies well, he is not afraid of when to see the king of Hades!
A person who is not even afraid of death, no matter how terrifying the master is, he will not be able to take his life, not to mention, Mo Wentian will not take his life!
"If you have the ability to kill the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I respect you as a good man, if not, please excuse yourself. Seniors, embarrassing a woman is not a skill. ”
Mo Wentian never dreamed that Tu Qitang would say this, his arrogance in ignoring everything was eye-catching, and it also confirmed Mo Wentian's guess in his heart. But Mo Wentian still didn't give up, Tu Qitang was not Han, and Mo Wentian decided that he would be on his side.
"Do you want me to tell you what the Han people are doing in the Western Regions? You don't know, the Han people killed hundreds of thousands of Huns, and the Han army set foot on the innocent small countries in the Western Regions, just because those small countries refused to submit to the Han! Wake up, the Han people just want to devour the hungry wolves in the Western Regions, they won't remember your goodness, but will end up paying tribute with your blood......"
Mo Wentian persuaded Tu Qitang bitterly, but Tu Qitang couldn't listen to a word, and said impatiently: "Is it useful for you to tell me this?" Is this something you and I can control? It's obviously narrow-minded, and if you have to rise to the height of national righteousness, I will only think that you are hypocritical! ”
Mo Wentian looked at Tu Qitang in a daze, became angry in his heart, and roared: "How can this be reasonable, you are from the Western Regions, why do you want to favor Han women?" ”
"She is my woman, whoever dares to offend her, I will not finish with him." Tu Qitang's words were so loud that Mo Wentian opened his mouth, unable to speak for a while.
After a pause, Mo Wentian said meaningfully: "You don't know what you're doing, you'll regret it, you will." ”
Tu Qitang didn't bother to pay attention to him, hugged Liu Ye and walked back to the convoy, Shizhong and Weng Guimi glanced at each other, and then went back to take care of the wounded, Chang Hui and Mo Wentian stood face to face, and they didn't stay or stay, so they simply went around to the mountains and forests to find Qingling. He wanted to tell him about it, Tu Qitang had a big quarrel with Mo Wentian for Liu Ye, and the quarrel was very imposing and kind, and even he couldn't help but look at Tu Qitang with admiration.
Qing Ling detoxified himself, and when he heard about this rare thing, he was stunned for a long time, and said with a smile: "This guy really didn't lie to me, fortunately I believed him." ”
"Who, who do you say? Who do you believe? Chang Hui is always half a beat slower, and it's no wonder that he is still immersed in the evenly matched battle just now.
"It's nothing, let's just wait and see a good show!" Qingling was still depressed a few minutes ago, but now she was in a good mood, and she threw away the oil paper bag that brought her shame in a chic manner, and walked back happily, "Haha, this guy is really good, I really want to see the 'poisonous scorpion' eat deflated, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it......'s a pity."
Chang Hui could hear that she really praised Tu Qitang, but he hadn't figured out when Qing Ling began to trust this, and what secrets the two of them were hiding from him.
Mo Wentian's antidote was quite effective, and within two hours, the entourage who had fallen to the ground had regained their vitality one after another, barely able to support their walking. This strange river was on the verge of killing people, and everyone wanted to leave, even if they didn't make it to the nearest town before dark.
The convoy moved forward slowly, Qing Ling was curious about how Mo Wentian was angry with Tu Qitang, how embarrassed to go with them, such a good opportunity should not be missed, she stepped forward and teased: "I said 'poisonous scorpion', where are you going?" You don't want to come with us, do you? ”
"Why, I helped you save so many people, and I can't wait to drive me away before I hear you say thank you! Hmph, a girl who has no conscience when crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! Mo Wentian's expression was as usual, as if he didn't take that to heart, and he didn't intend to pursue Tu Qitang's rudeness.
"No, why should I drive you away, if I drive you away, will you leave? Hehe, I'm just curious, you haven't shown up for so many years, I thought you were hiding in a cave and couldn't see the light! ”
Mo Wentian looked at Qing Ling amusedly: "What are you talking about, don't you just want to know why I came from?" Okay, let me tell you plainly, I'm here to find a crooked gourd duel, and before I die, I always have to pull a cushion, don't I, I have been friends with your grandfather for so many years, even if we walk on the Huangquan Road together, I am not alone! ”
Qing Ling snorted angrily: "Don't think about it, I won't let you be satisfied, you are definitely not your grandfather's opponent, you better find someone else to accompany you to Huangquan!" ”
Mo Wentian didn't care about her, and said to himself: "What do you children know, it's the so-called friend of life and death, life and death have to be together." How long has he been waiting for me, I'm impatient! ”
There was no serious answer to the question, so Qing Ling changed the topic and said, "Okay, even if you came to find your grandfather, why did you come to me first?" Or maybe you're not looking for me, you're looking for someone else......"
Mo Wentian was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "By chance, I found that there are many dead bodies of animals and people in the upper reaches of the river, these corpses have been washed over by the flood, and they have been deformed after soaking in the river for I don't know how many days. When I moved the corpse, I thought that the water downstream must have corpse poison, and if someone drank it, I was afraid that they would be poisoned and die. ”
Qing Ling stammered when he heard this: "So, you came along this river?" Oops, poisonous scorpion, it turns out that you are so kind-hearted, not to mention moving the corpse, worrying that someone will be poisoned and looking for it, this is simply a living immortal! ”
"Come on, you, you're trying to hurt me and meddle in my affairs." Mo Wentian's mood was much better, and he said happily, "Who said that I was born to hurt others, but some people deserve to die." I don't want to be a living immortal, and I don't want anyone to read me well. Don't ask for favors, but don't complain, it's okay to believe it or not, do whatever I want, whatever! ”
Hearing his words, Qing Ling couldn't help but look at him differently: "No wonder grandfather always talks about you, you still have merit as a person." ”
Mo Wentian smiled and didn't speak, if it wasn't for Qing Ling, he wouldn't say anything. He did walk upstream, and he saw the corpses, and it was a fact that he had moved the corpses to search for drugs. It's just that he didn't expect to meet the granddaughter of the medicine gourd, and he had only one purpose.
In the evening, the convoy did not reach the town, but fortunately there were several nearby villages that did not allow them to sleep in the wilderness. The division found a village to settle in, and the hospitable villagers warmly welcomed them.
After dinner, everyone chatted around the bonfire, and because most of the people were poisoned during the day, they went back to their rooms to rest. Liu Ye and Qing Ling lived in the same room, and Tu Qitang didn't leave until they turned off the lights.
Chang Hui looked at Tu Qitang's back and said, "Today, this guy is out of the limelight, and he is just making him majestic." ”
Shizhong smiled silently, and Weng Guimi said: "He is not prestigious, he really plans to fight hard with the poisonous scorpion, in order to protect the princess." ”
"Oh? It seems that he is sincere to the princess! Chang Hui shook his head and sighed, "What is true or false, it won't be temporary!" ”
Weng Guimi didn't speak anymore, Chang Hui took the branch and poked the fire irritably, suddenly remembered something, and looked around: "Hey? Where did the poisonous scorpion go? As soon as it gets dark, there is no human figure, is it really a scorpion spirit? ”
Tu Qitang jumped up the tree, leaned comfortably against the trunk, looked at the bonfire not far away, recalled what happened during the day, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Tu Qitang, Tu Qitang, you are really stupid, you exposed your mind so easily......"
"You kid is really stupid!"
"Who?!" Tu Qitang sat up with a spirit, his eyes like torches, and looked at the vast dark night.
