Chapter 172: Shocked

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Cheng Xuanfeng's eyes showed a rare hint of regret.

Xu Haifeng's stern eyes also calmed down, and he asked with a smile, "What is a pity?" ”

Cheng Xuanfeng sighed and said, "Xiaoyou, you have said this sentence ten years ago. ”

"I heard it all in detail." Xu Haifeng said calmly.

"Xiaoyou's qualifications are really only seen in the old man's life. If it is another ten years, he should be qualified to fight with the old man. It's just that if you force yourself to come out, I'm afraid you will die. Cheng Xuanfeng looked at him, and said in a tone with a hint of hope: "Our Han family, the younger generation, without talent, martial arts, courage and bearing, are all headed by you, and the achievements in the future are limitless, why do you want to work hard for the Liu family, it is better to retreat." ”

With his identity, he naturally disdains to deceive people, and his words are sincere and have a strong appeal.

Compared with others, Xu Haifeng had more understanding, he bowed respectfully to Cheng Xuanfeng, and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the seniors, it's just that the juniors have their own hardships, and they have to disappoint the seniors." ”

The regret in Cheng Xuanfeng's eyes gradually thickened, he looked up at the sky, pondered for a long time, and said: "You don't want to leave because of the word loyalty, and you can't blame it." It's just that...... There are some things that the old man didn't want to say, but now he has to bring them up again. ”

"Senior, please speak."

"Xu Xiaoyou, the old man asks you, how many families are there in my Han Dynasty?" Cheng Xuanfeng asked suddenly.

As soon as he said this, Fang Lingde and Liu Zhengzhong's faces immediately changed slightly, but their city was quite deep, and except for a few limited people, no one else could see through it.

Regarding this unrelated question, although Xu Haifeng was surprised in his heart, he still answered honestly: "The younger generation knows that there are only four great families. ”

"The Four Great Families?" Cheng Xuanfeng showed a mocking smile, he turned his head and asked, "Fang Lingde, do you have the courage to tell Xu Xiaoyou, forty years ago, how many great families did our Han have?" ”

Fang Lingde's face turned pale in an instant, this amiable old man, at this time, he actually avoided Xu Haifeng's inquiring gaze, he firmly closed his mouth and did not say a word.

Seeing his expression, anyone knows that there must be something unspeakable.

"Don't dare to say it. Hmph, do you think that if you have cut down the grass and eradicated the roots and done it seamlessly, no one in this world will come to look for your trouble? The mocking disdain on Cheng Xuanfeng's face became thicker, and he sneered: "It's just that the heavens are clear, the cause and effect are obtained, and the slightest bit is barely coming, the difference is only the time sooner or later." ”

"Senior, what do you mean by that? Our Fang family has been loyal and upright for generations, how can we ever do anything that hurts heaven and reason, if we really want retribution, then the first person to be retributed should be you thieves who betray the country for glory and lose their conscience. Xiang Ming strode forward, pointed directly at Cheng Xuanfeng, and said that he did not have any scruples because of his identity as a grandmaster.

"Ha" Cheng Xuanfeng smiled and said: "Shameless junior, but you were not born back then, so it is not surprising that you don't know about it." ”

Xu Haifeng looked at him with a hint of complexity in his eyes, and asked, "Please also ask the seniors to make it clear." ”

Cheng Xuanfeng nodded slightly and said, "More than forty years ago, there were five major families in the Han Dynasty. In addition to my Cheng family's family living in the south, among the Beijing teachers, there are still four major families of Dong, Fang, Tang and Su, among which the Dong family is prosperous and is known as the first family in the world. ”

"Dong family?" Xu Haifeng muttered to himself, it was undeniable that the name of this family was still the first time he had learned it.

"Yes, back then, the head of the Dong family, Dong Zinc Ruitian, used his talents, and took care of the Dong family in an orderly manner."

Cheng Xuanfeng closed his eyes slightly, as if he had fallen into a distant memory: "That year, the Xiongnu Kouguan invaded the border, and the six northern counties all fell in January, and the world was shocked. The old man was in the prime of life at the time, and when he heard the words, he immediately went north and joined the vigorous Northern Frontier Campaign. ”

Everyone was silent, everyone was no stranger to that world-famous war, but more than forty years ago, even Fang Lingde was only a teenager and did not participate in that battle, let alone others.

Now, hearing the story of this old man who has personally experienced this matter, I can't help but feel a sense of going back in time in my heart.

"On the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, the old man and Dong Zincrui hit it off at first sight, became brothers in life and death, we fought side by side, supported each other, and after a few months, finally survived until winter, forcing the Huns to return in vain, and preserving the dignity and territory of the Han Dynasty."

Cheng Xuanfeng's tone deepened and deepened: "For this battle, the Dong family spared no effort to come out of the clan, and all the young and strong people raised their blades and rushed to the battlefield. They fought bravely and would rather die than give in, if it weren't for this, the Liu family's flowers and rivers would have perished forty years ago. ”

"But......" Cheng Xuanfeng's tone changed, and it overflowed with an unforgettable hatred: "But do you know that when they return victorious, what awaits them?" ”

Xu Haifeng shook his head blankly, and a hint of bad omen flashed in his heart.

"Celebration banquet, under a huge celebration banquet, the first emperor and the heads of the three major families jointly set up a banquet for the survivors of the Dong family to wash the dust. It's just that...... It's just that the wine used to wash the dust is not the drunken moon wine of the Tang family, but a cup of sweet and attractive Heding Red. ”

Except for Fang Lingde and Liu Zhengzhong, the others heard about this secret history for the first time, and their hearts were shaken and it was difficult to hold themselves.

"Poisoned wine?" The anger in Xu Haifeng's eyes continued to rise, he took a deep breath and said, "Why? ”

"Because of the high merit of the Lord." Cheng Xuanfeng scolded: "Brother Dong is both civil and military, he was originally the prime minister of the dynasty, and assisted the first emperor to govern the world in an orderly manner. As soon as the war was in place, he threw his pen into Rong, went to the front line in person, and ordered that all disciples of the Dong family must be the first in every battle and must not retreat. If it weren't for the performance of the children of the Dong family who didn't care about life and death to arouse the fighting spirit of the whole army, the outcome of this battle would really be difficult to say. ”

"After the war, Brother Dong led his own soldiers to recover all the six northern counties. The magnitude of the feats is incomparable. ”

Xu Haifeng's face turned pale, and he asked slowly, "Then what does it have to do with the three major families?" ”

"Since Brother Dong has made this meritorious achievement, his prestige is so high, and he doesn't think of a second person in the world. After saying that the government and the opposition are going to become a place for him to cover the sky with one hand? How would you feel if it were you? Cheng Xuanfeng asked rhetorically.

Xu Haifeng nodded slowly, sighed, and said, "What happened later?" ”

Cheng Xuanfeng smiled sadly and said: "As soon as Brother Dong died, the Dong family was immediately in chaos, and they took this opportunity to lay a net to wipe out the Dong family's forces in the government and the opposition, even orphans and widows were not spared. ”

Xu Haifeng closed his eyes, only to feel a sadness in his heart.

Cheng Xuanfeng laughed sadly a few times, as if he was a chilling cicada: "How innocent is the Dong family, how unfortunate, how many Yan Zhao tragic songs, impassioned people, they are driven by righteousness, abandon their families and children, fight in the northern Xinjiang, and survive nine deaths." However, they did not die by the sabers of the foreigners, but by the cup of sweet poisoned wine in the hands of their compatriots. ”

He suddenly lowered his head, the cold light splashed in his eyes, he stared at Xu Haifeng, and said word by word: "The Liu family is immortal, where is the heavenly reason, the Liu family is immortal, where is the justice, the Liu family is endless, the thousands of heroic souls of the Dong family, how can they be blinded by the spirit of the sky." ”

In the inner courtyard of the palace, Li Guanying trotted all the way with Liu Junshu, who was covered in blood.

"Who is coming......

A snap of his breath made him stop unfreely.

He looked up, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, and said, "Li Guanying, the deputy commander of the Blue Wolf Legion, participated in the three Shangshu Lords. ”

The one who stood in his way was the current head of the three major families of the dynasty.

Fang Lingtian stepped forward and glanced at him and said, "You are Guanying, what about your uncle?" ”

Li Guanying's eyes flashed with tears, and he said: "The general personally led the three hundred sons of the Blue Wolf Legion to guard the Beisheng Gate. ”

Fang Lingtian looked at him, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, good Li Bohu." ”

His voice grew choked, and finally it was no longer sustainable.

Tang Zonghan looked at Liu Junshu on Li Guanying's back and asked, "What are you doing here with General Liu on your back?" ”

Li Guanying carefully removed Liu Junshu from his back, hugged him to his chest, and replied: "General Liu fought hard against the enemy, was seriously injured and unconscious, and the general ordered the last general to escort him to see Fang Shangshu. Now that I've seen it, I'm going to bother Lord Shangshu. ”

Fang Lingtian shook his eyebrows, looked up, and saw Li Guanying's face calm, and his eyes were even more unwavering, and he vaguely guessed his plan: "Give him to me, then where are you going?" ”

Li Guanying smiled proudly and said: "Without him, if you want to follow the general's tail, you will have no regrets in this life." ”

The three Shangshu glanced at each other, and immediately understood.

Fang Lingtian's face turned pale and said, "This official has something important to do, how can he take care of this dying person." ”

Li Guanying was stunned and opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't speak.

Fang Lingtian tore off the jade pendant he was carrying, stretched out his hand to the west, and said, "Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is rushing to the West Gate, you take my jade pendant and escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the northern camp by the way." ”

Li Guanying shook his head and said: "Although the last general is not talented, he is not greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

Fang Lingtian's face sank, and he suddenly slapped him head-on.

Li Guanying didn't dare to dodge, and let him hit it, but found that his palm seemed to be fierce, but it was strong on the outside, and he didn't use force at all.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to Northern Xinjiang here, with a heavy responsibility, and the journey is extremely dangerous, and he is waiting for loyal people to hold on to each other. As a child of the Li family, you are afraid to move forward. In vain, your uncle still praised you in front of me as the best of the Li family's next generation, you ...... You've lost the face of Li Bohu. Fang Lingtian was furious and scolded.

Li Guanying's eyes were red, and he bit his lower lip tightly, but he stood stubbornly.

Fang Lingtian sighed, stuffed the jade pendant in his hand into his chest pocket, and said, "The responsibility of the living is greater, you ...... Don't let your uncle's hard work go to waste. ”

Li Guanying turned his head and glanced at Beishengmen, which contained a lot of reluctance.

He couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly raised his head and screamed loudly, hugged Liu Junshu, and quickly disappeared into the west.

"They're gone."

"yes. They're gone. ”

"As long as they're alive, there's hope."

"The hope of our great man."
