Volume 2 The Ancient City of Mojiang 0102 The Story of a Thousand Years Ago

"Wait, you're saying that there was a general named Yang Qi in the ancient kingdom of Pozi?" Dong Que had just said the beginning, when Xu Qingyun and others also followed the sound and came over, Xu Qingyun asked thoughtfully, Dong Que nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know which two words are exactly, but the pronunciation should be like this." Didn't you find an exit, what are you all doing here? ”

Xu Qingyun said, "What? Are you two lazy here, and we are not allowed to listen to the story? ”

"This-" Dong Que was speechless for a while, Bai Qianyu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, we have checked almost everything, and we have found nothing." ”

Zheng Xiaofeng's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he said worriedly: "There is no exit in the entire ancient city? Shouldn't it? So how do we get out? ”

Xu Qingyun leaned his shoulders on the bookshelf, and said in a relaxed tone: "The ancient city is so big, even if there are some omissions, it is inevitable, there is not much water left, it has been half a day, we can't keep wasting time on aimless searching." But it's not a big deal, there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there will always be a way, I believe in your wisdom. ”

After he finished speaking, the expressions of several people were a little subtle, and his words were somewhat cool, this is him, Dong Que dared to say a word like this, it is estimated that everyone will surround him and beat him at the first time. At this time, Dong Que suddenly said: "Yes, Lao Bai, I just remembered, didn't you say that you planted explosives in advance at the exit in case of emergency?" This means that you know the general direction of the exit. ”

Bai Qianyu nodded: "It's true, the exit is in the southeast direction, but we still have to look for it, you have to enter from the northwest direction first, and go around to get out, it's not impossible." In fact, I was still telling my young lady just now, if we really can't find anything in the end, we can only rely on climbing ropes and rope arrows to climb up little by little, and you should also be mentally prepared. ”

A few people listened and took a look outside, the mountain is about 300 meters high, and the length of the climbing rope and rope arrows together may only be a few tens of meters, if you really want to climb, you will definitely not be able to climb without some ability. Xu Qingyun and Zheng Xiaofeng will definitely not care, the point is whether Dong Quede and Cheng Ruxue can do it, but seeing that Cheng Ruxue did not object, Dong Quede was embarrassed to say anything. Xu Qingyun said: "These things can be mentioned later, let's talk about this yang chess first." When I was searching the civilian areas on the outskirts of the ancient city, I found a lot of generals' shrines, and it seems that they are all enshrined in this person. ”

"That means that this person has a very high status in the ancient kingdom of Poz?" Cheng Ruxue asked.

β€œBingo!” Xu Qingyun snapped his fingers and said, "But to be more precise, it is because he has a high status among the people of the ancient country of Pozi, because his ancestral hall is only available in the civilian area, and the number is even more than the worship of the gods of the sun and mountains. I learned some Pozi from Jiawei before, and I barely recognized some of the inscriptions in the ancestral hall, probably to say, this person has strong martial arts and outstanding military achievements, and the Moon Village when we came, in fact, it was also a country before, and it was attacked by the Pozi country because of different beliefs. Of course, this is all said in the inscription, I don't know if he is really so powerful, I only know that the reason why the ancient country of Pozi can become the overlord of the desert for a while is that this yang chess is indispensable, and the people regard him as a god of war. If you want me to see, his status in the minds of the common people at that time was probably higher than that of the gods and the royal family, after all, the gods and the royal family could not bring them real benefits, and the general's conquest could indeed really improve the status of the people of Pozi in the desert. ”

"So, isn't this person a master of great merit?" Hearing this, Bai Qianyu interjected, "In history, such people generally don't end well. ”

"Not necessarily." Xu Qingyun said, "Judging from the fact that King Pozi can allow civilians to build ancestral halls for Yangqi, the royal family should still trust this person. ”

Dong Que nodded silently, thought for a while and said, "Then it's better for me to finish telling this story, maybe I can know what the royal family's attitude towards this person is." ”

Several people agreed, and they formed a circle, like a story meeting. Dong Que unconsciously cleared his throat and continued what he had not finished before.

……

"Your Majesty, the general asks to see you."

In the palace of Poz, in front of the king's bed, a guard with a knife knelt on one knee and prayed, and in front of him was a curtain, and the king's face could not be seen.

"Didn't this king say that no one is allowed to bother this king during the break, and the general didn't rely on military merit and turn a deaf ear to this king's words?"

An incomparably weak voice came from the curtain, and although the breath was not strong, the guards were shocked when they heard it.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the general said that he had found a miracle healer, or, or could cure His Majesty's illness. ”

"Hey, it's the Divine Doctor again, this is the eleventh this year, right? Everyone said that they could cure the king's illness, but I don't know that the one sent by the general wanted to damage the king's longevity for a few years? ”

"This ...... Your Majesty......"

At this time, the guards were already sweating, and he would not understand the hidden meaning of the king's words, but after thinking about it, he decided to speak for the general.

"Your Majesty, the general is also loyal, maybe it can really work this time, please give it a try."

He is a soldier, and the status of the general in his mind is naturally self-evident, he thought that he was helping the general, but he didn't know that on the bed, the king heard this, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Wellβ€”since you all trust the general so much, it seems that this king has to make it too?"

The king spoke, with a gloomy face, and lifted the curtain aside.

"General Xuan's Yang Chess!"

The order was passed down to the feet of the king's statue, and Yang Qi walked in with a messenger holding a scorpion banner.

"Chenyang chess, see Your Majesty."

"General, hurry up and excuse me!" The king sat on the bed, raised his hand, and said with a smile, "The general has made many military exploits for me, and the first king gave the general the right to wear a sword to the temple. ”

"The minister does not dare, thanks to His Majesty's love, it is the duty of the minister to fight for the country, and it is also the duty of the minister to do the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, which is the duty, and the minister does not dare to disobey."

"Ho-" the king laughed strangely, stopped looking at the general, turned his head, and focused his gaze on the messenger, "you are the divine doctor?" ”

"Your Majesty, he is not a native and does not understand our words." Yang Qi explained.

Who knew that it was just this sentence, when the king heard it, Long Yan was immediately furious, suddenly slapped the bed, got up and asked sharply: "Yang Qi, you dare to bring a doctor from another country to treat the king's illness, do you want to borrow the hand of the enemy country and kill this king?!" ”

"Your Majesty, minister-" Yang Qi was about to explain, but the king didn't give him a chance to explain at all, and then said, "Someone!" Put Yang Qi and this doctor in prison, and once it is found out that he is a spy of the enemy country, he will be punished for treason! ”

"Huh?!" The guards were immediately shocked, immediately knelt on their knees, kowtowed and pleaded, "Your Majesty, think twice! The general has no intention of rebelling! ”

"How can you know the general's thoughts?" The king asked rhetorically, "If there is a seeker, he is guilty of the same crime as Yangqi!" ”

The guard's face was pale, he wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to say more, he looked at the general at a loss, but found that Yang Qi's expression was still calm.

"Your Majesty, Yangqi is indeed loyal to Your Majesty, the sun and the moon can be seen, regardless of whether this person is a spy of the enemy country, but he does have the art of returning to the sky, the minister is worried about His Majesty, and he is willing to take the risk to bring this person to meet him, and please ask His Majesty to see his doctor after the operation, and then make a decision."

When the king heard this, his eyes rolled, although he was still angry in his heart, but it was not easy to attack, after all, he was anxious to kill Yang Qi, and when he said this, there was no reason to act in a hurry.

Moreover, his condition is indeed very serious, and if the person who comes can really rejuvenate himself, he is certainly willing to give it a try.

Thinking about it, the king sat down, waved his hand and said: "Okay, then let this king see and understand, if this statement is false, don't blame this king for being ruthless!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Qi bowed and bowed, and after the salute, he turned his head to look at the envoy and made a gesture, signaling him to demonstrate the art of resurrection just now.

The miraculous thing is that although this envoy could not understand Pozi's language, he could understand every request made by Yang Qi, and this was the case when he came to the palace with Yang Qi to meet the king, and now he is demonstrating on the spot.

So he saw the messenger take out a gecko from his pocket, and like the bird before, after he strangled the gecko to death, he dripped two drops of his own blood on the corpse, and the unbelievable thing happened again, and the gecko was resurrected, and the dragon and tiger were alive and well, and they put it on the ground, and ran away as if they were flying.

When the king saw this, he was instantly overjoyed, and the gloom on his face was swept away, but he stroked his palms and smiled: "Good! Good! Good! The general is loyal and patriotic, but the king misunderstood, and I hope the general doesn't mind, but although his blood can bring animals back to life, I don't know if it can also heal people? ”

This question seemed to be very common, but Yang Qi's brows twitched, and the deep meaning of the king's words had already been perceived by him for the first time.

"There's a way to give it a try." Yang Qi said, suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and swung it towards the guard's neck, between the lightning and the fire, the guard did not react, and a hole had already been cut in the neck, and blood was poured into it for a while. "Uhh The guard looked at Yang Qi in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion and fear. The king's face did not change, and Yang Qi stretched out his hand and motioned to the messenger to practice medicine.

The messenger was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he bit his finger and wiped it on the guard's neck. After a while, the blood stopped, and the guard suddenly felt that he could breathe, and hurriedly touched his neck, and found that the wound had healed.

"Very good, the doctor appreciates a thousand taels of gold, and heals the disease for this king!" The king preached, and before the guards could breathe, they were struck in the heart by another sword.

And this time, he didn't even scream, and his body was already in a pool of blood.

The king seemed puzzled and asked, "What does this mean, General?" ”

Yang Qi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this person is testing medicine for His Majesty, although he is not dead today, it is inevitable that he will not hold a grudge, in case it is not good for His Majesty in the future, it is difficult to escape the blame for the death of the minister!" ”

The king nodded, and then smiled and asked, "Butβ€”this man is your right-hand man, and you are really willing to kill him?" ”

"But if you are loyal to Your Majesty, you can also kill your closest relatives!"

Yang Qi's tone was extremely firm, but his eyes never dared to look at the king. The king slowly walked up to Yang Qi, stroked his hand, and said calmly and comfortingly: "Okay, today I know the loyalty of the general, and tomorrow I will be in front of the hundred officials, and I will add you to the rank of knight." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thousands of deaths are hard to report! ”

"Very good, then you go down, let this healer stay here, and treat this king well."

Yang Qi listened, hurriedly replied "yes", hurriedly turned around and left, just a dozen steps out of the palace gate, and the faces of both of them showed extremely cruel eyes.

The king was looking at the general's back, while Yang Qi was staring at the guard he had killed with his own hands and had repeatedly "spoken for him".
