Chapter 39 The Unpaid Debt
Regarding Lin Ruhai's self-chaos, Second Master Long was naturally happy to watch the fire from the other side.
The originally agreed war date came as promised, and the two sides broke the contract with great tacit understanding.
Lin Ruhai is now anxious, he is weak, there is no way, it is difficult to collect it.
Once the common people who are cattle and horses turn over, it is impossible to suppress them easily.
Those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world.
In troubled times, "heroes" gushed out like bamboo shoots in various places after spring, and then there was a snowball of big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimp.
How could Lin Ruhai not know these truths? Unfortunately, he, an outsider, was not qualified to enter the game at all.
His Lin Ruhai's name has long been known all over the world, and he is the number one enemy of the rebel armies on all sides, and anyone can stand up and raise their arms, but he can't.
And not all those who stir up the storm in the five states can be called "heroes".
Some people gather the crowd with righteousness, relying on one or two scheming and strategizing "wise men" around them to give advice, plus the brave champion of the three armies, leading the soldiers, mixed up a little famous, but unfortunately how can a natural tendon live for a long time?
Some people are improvised, intellectually improvised, and courageous, and they become leaders of one party by mistake, but they can't withstand the washing of time.
In the end, the tripartite forces came to the fore.
On one side is Xiang Liang, who is located in the south of Jing and Jiao Erzhou, and it is said that he is a famous general of Western Chu in the former dynasty, and now he has taken advantage of the situation to rise up, and go around to publicize the wisdom of the monarch of Western Chu and the past of their Xiang clan to petition for the people.
The second place is Qingzhou Liu Bang.
This is amazing, after getting drunk, he killed a white snake the size of a bucket blocking the way, and the people behind met an old woman crying in the dark night at the place where the white snake was killed, so he stepped forward and asked her why she was crying, which led to a classic dialogue:
Old woman: "Someone killed my son, and I was crying for him." ”
Someone asked, "Why was your child killed?"
The old woman said, "My son is the son of the White Emperor, who has changed into a snake and blocked the middle of the road, and now he has been killed by the son of the Emperor of Shame, so he cries." ”
The crowd thought she was lying and were about to hit her, but the old woman suddenly disappeared.
Such a miraculous thing made Liu Bang's followers gradually fear him.
The last one is Wang Xian in the north, who sits on the secluded and two states, and there is no need to say much about the strength of this person.
Of the tripartite forces, there is no doubt that Liu Bang is the weakest.
In this way, the Great Xia Kingdom is divided by five parties, a pot of porridge, and the adjacent Jin and Qi kingdoms are eyeing each other after hearing the rumors.
Since Ye Xiaochuan was surrounded and intercepted last time, he has finally learned to be smart, he is dressed in tatters, and he looks like a refugee no matter how he looks.
As soon as he arrived in Changyi County, he saw the bright red banner with the word "Liu" written on it, and when he entered the city, he inquired about it, and he stayed for a long time.
Is this a repetition of history, or has he read that "Kyushu Chronicles"?
If the latter is fine, this first situation is really unacceptable.
The boy dispelled the messy conjectures in his mind, anyway, he didn't plan to be the king, and now that he had finally arrived at his destination, it was time to do his own business.
Heaven and earth, be careful.
With the ability of the Wang family and his son, even if Changyi County is not in their sphere of influence, this net cannot cover the whole city, but the Baihualou side is absolutely dense and full of weight.
They expected that Ye Xiaochuan would definitely come back, and he would definitely come to Baihualou.
The young man didn't dare to go rashly, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't go to Chongde Temple, which is now full of incense, but found a place to change into decent clothes and went straight to the vicinity of Chongde Temple, and casually found a restaurant to get in.
It was originally a big mess, and all industries were in ruins. But now that the banner of the Liu family has been erected, the situation has temporarily stabilized, and it is true that the scene in all walks of life is depressed, but life must go on.
No matter when, there are always rich and poor, and most of the people who can come to the restaurant to drink two bowls at this time are Liu Bang's low-level followers and some lucky people, in short, there are two dollars in their pockets.
However, in a poor rural area like Qingzhou, there is already a lack of material, and now this wine is really not much stronger than water. But after all, there is some alcohol smell, which can barely satisfy the cravings.
Facts have proved that Ye Xiaochuan's choice is wise and martial.
And his luck is really good, he found a random place and met the "person he likes".
He casually glanced at the hall and went straight to the second floor, and then when he looked up, he saw that the middle-aged man at the table near the window was unusual.
Although this person is not amazing, it can be seen from his sitting posture that his waist is straight, his feet are separated one in front of the other, and he can move his body at any time, obviously licking blood from the knife all year round.
Ye Xiaochuan walked straight over, the man's ears moved slightly, and he suddenly turned his head and saw a somewhat familiar young face. Before he could remember who the person in front of him was, his muscles were already tense, because in his subconscious, this kind of person was either the target or the enemy.
"Hehe, this brother, isn't it too lonely to drink alone?" Ye Xiaochuan turned a blind eye to his nervousness and sat down opposite him with a big grin.
At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly remembered the name of the person in front of him, and his face turned white for a while, but his concentration was not bad, his mind was clear, and he knew that since the guy in front of him dared to come back alone, it meant that he couldn't run away one-on-one, and the only hope for survival was that the other party didn't know him at all.
"In Xia Liu Qingshan, this little brother is so good, at such an age and strength, it's really scary!" The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead as he spoke, and the look on his face seemed to be really surprised that Ye Xiaochuan's age and strength did not match.
"Haha, this big brother has won the prize. Xiao Er, hurry up and serve two jars of good wine, this uncle is going to get drunk and rest!" Ye Xiaochuan tilted his body, raised his right leg and put it on the stool, and slapped the table arrogantly and shouted, looking like a complete gentleman, it was this cloth clothes that broke the look.
The middle-aged man couldn't figure out his temperament and thoughts, so he had to laugh dryly: "The little brother is domineering enough!"
Ye Xiaochuan smiled slightly, noncommittal. After a short time of drinking, the middle-aged man was sweating profusely again.
"Shall I tell you a story?" Ye Xiaochuan smiled slightly, "By the way, I will ask you something." ”
"This ...... There's ...... down there."
"If you want to die, you don't listen. Ye Xiaochuan was still smiling, as if he was just telling a joke.
The middle-aged man's body trembled suddenly, and the muscles he had been tense suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly felt a sore back and sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Several guests at the adjacent table were full of surprise, but they all thought that there was something strange about this person, and they neither cared nor wanted to cause trouble, so they laughed it off.
Ye Xiaochuan put away his smile, poured a bowl of wine and pushed it in front of the middle-aged man, and then began to whisper about the whole miserable process of being chased and killed by thousands of miles.
"You say, how can this Wang family father and son be so interesting, they didn't directly kill this seriously injured kid at first, and only let the little one chase for thousands of miles? What the hell is he trying to do?"
The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva with difficulty, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's not that they are holding it up, but that they were stopped." ”
Ye Xiaochuan was not surprised, and continued to ask, "Is it a woman?"
"An old man, who looked drowsy, Lord Wang didn't let us do it, and directly agreed to the other party's conditions. The middle-aged man replied honestly.
"On what terms?"
"Except for the little boy, we are not allowed to send more people to hunt down Ye ......," the middle-aged man said and stopped abruptly.
The young man's heart was not as calm as it seemed, and he finally determined that he really owed a debt that he would not pay back in his life.
What power does this kind of descendant who has been sent from Daliao Shangjing to such a poor and remote country still have any power? That powerful old man may only have the duty to protect her, but he has no obligation to obey her dispatch.
This time, at what cost?
