Chapter 234: Down the Stairs
It was silent for a long time. I just stared blankly at the south, which was the direction of the imperial capital. It's a pity that I can't give him one last ride.
"Zhuge , tell me to go down and prepare some sacrifices for me, I want to use them. At this time, I said very calmly.
"No problem, I'll go get you ready. After Zhuge Jin agreed, he quickly left.
Rong'er looked at my back blankly, and didn't speak, since it was a sacrifice, Rong'er should also know that someone must have left. I guess it has a lot to do with me, otherwise I wouldn't have to worship.
Then a bright light swept across the little head, and he suddenly thought in his heart: "It can't be Sister Murong who has an accident!"
Rong'er asked in a low voice behind her, "Brother, who is in trouble?"
"It's Wuji, Zhang Wuji, our friends who participated in the Dynasty Competition together can be regarded as brothers!" I didn't expect that it was less than a year ago, and I actually died tragically in the Martial Arts Academy. If I had known, I might as well have them come with me.
Rong'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it was better if it wasn't Sister Murong. Then intimately, padding my feet, learning to be like an adult, patted me on the shoulder, and said: "Mourning and changing"
I wasn't amused by Rong'er's behavior, and still looked at the south with a serious face.
In less than an hour, a table of offerings and two white waxes had been placed.
At this time, in my mind, scenes of participating in the martial arts competition together, including Murong Wanlin.
Then I picked up the flask, poured a glass, sprinkled it on the ground, and poured another glass and drank it all.
Zhuge Jin, Rong'er and a few others stood on the high platform from afar watching my actions, and did not make a sound.
I sat until dark, rubbed my face, ordered them to be removed, and then walked slowly back to the conference hall.
After sitting down, Rong'er brought me a cup of tea, and then went down obediently.
At this time, Zhuge Jin was the only one in the hall, sitting there sullenly.
"Zhuge , what do you think about this?" I asked flatly.
"Obviously, this matter should be on Miss Murong if nothing else, I guess it should be this Zhou Fan's son who is molesting Miss Murong, and Zhang Wuji came out to beat Zhou Fan's son. ”
Then Zhou Fan found the academy with his official position as a general and disposed of Zhang Wuji. That's pretty much what it should be. Zhuge Jin briefly analyzed it, and the matter was also analyzed.
I also guessed this, otherwise how would a general go back and kill a student. What I want to ask is what the emperor's secret letter means.
"Do you mean to kill or not to kill Zhou Fan, don't you?" At this time, Zhuge Jin glanced up at me and asked coldly.
I didn't speak, I nodded.
"Boss, emotionally, it's right that you want to avenge Zhang Wuji, but in reality, I don't agree with your request for the emperor to kill Zhou Fan. ”
"Why?" I asked plainly.
"It's very simple, since the emperor specially notified you in a secret letter, and also deliberately indicated the identity of the general, I hope you can give him a step down and avoid Zhou Fan's capital crime. Otherwise, he directly told you to cut Zhou Fan. ”
I frowned slightly, didn't speak, and motioned for Zhuge Jin to continue.
"In addition, the things that are rewarded to you in various names are actually telling you a little, he is reluctant to kill Zhou Fan, but if he doesn't kill him, he is afraid that you will be unhappy, so the words that have taken Zhou Fan's life must come out of your mouth. ”
In this way, he can justifiably circumvent his life, he must be a general, and now that the dynasty is employing people, it is certain that he is reluctant to kill this person, of course, there is another meaning. ”
"Oh, tell me about it," I was intrigued.
What he wants to tell you is: "In his eyes, there is only a distinction between those who can be used and those who are not, and you weigh it yourself." It is also a threat in disguise, in a word, you let Zhou Fan live, you live your chic life, you let Zhou Fan die, then you will be used by me. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, if you reply to the letter asking to kill Zhou Fan, within half a year, you will definitely be transferred back to the imperial capital by the emperor to participate in the battle, this is ironclad. ”
I was silent in thought, and Zhuge Jin stopped talking.
It seemed like a long time before I asked, "Then what do you say I should do?"
"It's very simple, Zhou Fan doesn't die, but you can't suffer a loss, since you let the general live, of course you have to exchange the equivalent chips for it. This reward is not exchanged for the life of a general. At this time, Zhuge Jin smiled treacherously.
"Oh... Tell me, what do you want to pay back?"
"Additional rewards, and send troops to send Miss Murong and the others here. Zhuge Jin said with an oath.
I frowned, I couldn't understand what tricks Zhuge Jin was playing, why he suddenly asked to send the second daughter here.
Boss, you don't need to ask me why, if you don't worry, I will help you reply to this letter, and you personally repair a book and hand it over to Long Xiaoyun, so that Long Xiaoyun can take his people and bring Miss Murong's family here secretly.
I gently rubbed my sour brain. immediately understood Zhuge Jin's purpose for doing this, to put it bluntly, he didn't leave a handle on the side of the dynasty, and became independent on his side.
Now what you want here, after a few months of good harvest, then you can start to garrison troops, and then expand outward, through the territory of the barbarians, you can go to other countries.
If one day, when the sword is really drawn against each other, the dynasty can't do anything about me, I don't have any foundation here, and now that the Murong Wanlin clan is deployed here, there will be no threat to me.
However, here is even more high and far away from the emperor, and if you want to rebel, you can do the opposite.
Okay, you can repair two letters, one to be sent back to the imperial capital by the messenger to present to the emperor, and the other to Xiaoyun, just do what you want!
I then waved my hand, got up and walked to the back, I was a little tired today, and I wanted to rest early.
Zhuge Jin smiled helplessly. muttered: "MMP, I don't want to carry this black cauldron, I still have to do this wicked person, this is my life... Hey..."After saying that, he got up and walked to his tent, ready to reply.
And now the development of the whole Feixi County is thriving, the town is concentrated, the residents are also concentrated, the fields are cultivated, and there are people chatting and chatting in their leisure time.
And Gongsun Ce is now planning to increase the number of troops for the second time. Because the spring planting has passed, a bumper harvest will be ushered in in a few months, and when the grain is full, it will be possible to train new soldiers and replenish the troops.
As for the letter to the emperor, I didn't ask at all, just let Zhuge Jin toss like this. And my first priority now is to forge the dragon vein. Because I found that my current cultivation has come to a standstill.
Finally, after thinking about it, it should be a problem with the dragon vein, it has been a long, long time since the last time the dragon vein was cast, so now I am preparing, ready, I am forging a dragon vein, so that the strength can continue to improve.
Five days later, I have basically walked out of the grief caused by Zhang Wuji's tragic death. Say hello to Zhuge Jin, take some resources such as the necessary spirit stones, and prepare to go out to cast the dragon vein.
However, I am afraid that this place is not easy to find, with the words of the dragon master, to cast a dark dragon vein, it is best to find a place where the sun does not see the sun all day long, that is also the best.
But the problem is, it's really hard to find such a place.
In the next few days, I had almost leveled the mountains on the left, and I went hundreds of miles deeper, and I searched carefully, but I still didn't find it.
On this night, while roasting two bear paws, he was communicating with Long Ye.
"I said Master Long, what should I do now, I have found this mountain range on the left from the Tianqian Pass all the way to here, hundreds of miles deep, haven't you found a satisfactory place?"
"Don't be discouraged, boy, it's for your own good. Wouldn't it be best if you could find it, but if you really can't find it, you will find a suitable place to use it, what can you do?"
"Well, then tomorrow I'll cross the plains and go to the mountains on the right to look around. I really can't find a suitable one. I shrugged, frustrated. I don't know if this time the dark dragon vein was cast, why did Long Ye have to choose a feng shui treasure land.
Then he didn't say anything all night and practiced all night.
As soon as the sky turned white, I got up and prepared to cross the plain to the mountains on the right to continue my search for the feng shui treasure I needed.
It's just that when I was halfway through the gallop, the sound of horses' hooves rushed in the distance, and looking at the number, there must be tens of thousands of horses, at least. Suddenly my heart itched unbearably, wouldn't it be better if these could be robbed back.
Then I found a low-lying place and hid it, but my hiding was superfluous, and tens of thousands of horses, driven by a few hundred men, rushed to the heart of the plain.
Then I thought about it, there were only two possibilities for this, one was that the horses were going to be sent to the interior to fight us, and the second was that they were purely grazing, raised in a small gathering place of barbarians.
Then I fixed my eyes and ran quickly in the direction of the horse.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, I saw a barbarian gathering place from a distance, it seems that this place is at least more than 2,000 miles away from the station, no wonder the barbarians are so relieved and bold to live here.
Because there is a meandering stream here, passing through the barbarian station, the source of the creek should be only on the right mountain range, and the barbarian station at this time is less than 500 miles away from the mountain range on the right.
At this point, I climbed a small dirt slope to check out the barbarian colony not far away, which is mainly made of leather tents and wooden houses, which may be the reason for choosing this place to be close to the mountains.
Look at the smoke curling, a simple estimate below, I am afraid that there are no less than 100 households, and there is a horse farm not far away, looking at the scale, it is definitely no problem to pay attention to tens of thousands of horses.
Now it is evident that the horses that have run away from me must have moved out to graze their cattle and returned when they were fed in the evening.
Hey... That's when a bold idea popped into my head.
If I lead two teams of cavalry and rush here, then these horses will not be in my pocket. Ha ha....
Then I carefully discerned the direction, remembered the general direction, and when I was done here, I took two cavalry regiments to take this place. In this way, tens of thousands of horses can be replenished.
Then he stopped talking, his figure flashed, and he quickly ran into the mountain range on the right.
