Chapter 22 Half a Day on the Dirt Slope
Listening to this comment, which is like a life-urging talisman, Wang Zhi's heart is like ashes.
He pondered silently for a moment, and slowly straightened his waist, no matter how much he was in or out of the car, he bent too much in the car today, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Wang Zhi raised his head, followed the appearance of the second prince and stood with his hands in front of him, secretly saying that the scenery here is unique, and the green mountains are loyal to both sides.
At this moment, the scenery of the world fell in Wang Zhi's eyes, but it became more vivid. The green grass is more verdant, the sky is more blue and blue, the insects in the depths of the trees are endless, and the oriole song on the branches sounds particularly pleasant and beautiful. The unique cool air in the spring mountain forest is unprecedentedly clear and sweet. He breathed carefully, for fear that the turbid breath he exhaled would disturb this moving world.
I don't see life and death, I don't know the beauty of the world.
Mr. Yi, who was sitting on the other side of the carriage, raised his head, clenched the scroll in his hand, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The second prince, who sighed alone, turned his back and looked over the earthen walls and barracks under the slope, over the mountain streams and river beaches in the distance, over the mountain shadows and clouds in the sky, and said in a voice that Wang Zhi just heard but was not very clear, "The loyal minister who can survive is amazing." ”
Wang Zhi raised his head, but saw that at this moment, Wei Mingxuan's body had long since lost the greedy and fanatical aura just now, and from behind, the silhouette of his side face was square and cold, and there seemed to be some lonely elements in the calm, but in a blink of an eye, Wang Zhi dispelled his strange thoughts, this prince who wants to be windy and rainy, how can he judge what loneliness is not lonely, if he is really lonely one day and calls himself a lonely person, then it is terrible. You was thinking about it here, seeing Wei Mingxuan snorting coldly, and said indifferently, "But whether you are a loyal minister or not, it has nothing to do with whether I kill you or not." ”
"Treacherous villain, if you can succeed, you can enter my door. Foolish and loyal people, empty mouths and mislead the country, it is better to punish them as soon as possible. Wei Mingxuan sighed, and continued lightly, "As for me...... Let it be judged by the world. ”
As he spoke, the ground of the small mountain town shook slightly. Wang Zhi raised his head in surprise, and saw that the second prince was just looking at the valley mouth on both sides of the towering forest, and he didn't seem to feel anything abnormal. At this moment, a thin sound came from a distance, rustling like a drizzle on the broad leaves. In just a few breaths, those voices grew at an incredible speed, roaring incessantly and exploding like thunder one after another.
How spectacular.
In an instant, a very incongruous black appeared on the lush green background of the valley mouth, and swept towards the direction of the hill like a strong wind. The black-clothed and black-armored cavalry, accompanied by a clear and dense rumbling hoof, was like a rushing torrent, sweeping away the dust and stones, carrying a violent aura, and moving forward to meet them.
At this time, the distance was still far away, and it was impossible to see the faces of the horse athletes clearly, but looking at the long black dragon winding out of the valley longer and longer, from dozens of people, to hundreds, and then to thousands of people, the roaring sound of horses' hooves overshadowed all the noise between heaven and earth, interspersed with several poignant and awe-inspiring shrill sounds broke through the air, and the whistling sound of these guide whistle arrows was particularly harsh in a rumbling sound.
It was only between a few breaths, of course, if Wang Zhi could still feel his breathing, the cavalry had already charged to the front of the military village down the slope, and the cold light rose in the black dark clouds, which was the light refracted on the sharp blades in the hands of the cavalry, and the light reflected on the faces of those soldiers. Only then did Wang Zhi realize that this cavalry was actually wearing uniformly cast face armor, and the black-faced fangs were lifelike, and at a glance they looked like a soul-hooking army drilled out of hell, which made people fear themselves at first sight. Seeing that the black dragon was about to crash straight into the wall, just when Wang Zhi was worried that those earthen walls would be broken and torn apart by the black, and that they would be trampled into yellow mud without care, and return to their original colors, the cavalry army spread out smoothly like mercury, and then slowly slowed down and flowed around the wall.
When the momentum of the first three horsemen did not decrease, they galloped out with dust, and came straight to the dirt slope in the shape of a zigzag. The three of them held the reins in one hand, and the other hand turned their wrists with their backhands neatly, and each of them scratched a flower with one turn and one pick, and the knife was put into the sheath in a very chic manner.
When they reached the bottom of the slope, the left and right riders lifted the reins of their horses, and the war horse men stood up, and one of the horses shot out like a black lightning bolt in the neighing, straight to the top of the slope.
Wei Mingxuan turned around, looked at the knight who lifted the reins and stopped turning over and dismounted in one go, praised loudly, and was stepping forward, but saw the knight take a step back, dodge Wei Mingxuan's weak hand, knelt on one knee, and said loudly, "Tang Wu of the vanguard battalion, lead the five thousand brothers of the department to welcome the son." ”
"Greetings to Childe!"
Thousands of voices suddenly sounded in unison in the mountain col, majestic and powerful, echoing endlessly in the mountains. The birds, which had been frightened by the horses' hooves and cowered in the depths of the jungle, were finally able to rest, and were completely startled by the loud sound that stood out and surpassed it, and struggled to flutter their wings from among the branches, and flew away with a chirp of exclamation.
"The officers and men in the army are in armor, so they don't have to salute. Tang Yi, I haven't been here for a year, and it seems that you have improved a lot. Can you be sure to fight with the Northern Qi Zhen National Army now? Wei Mingxuan raised his hand to signal the rider to get up, then turned around and bowed to the five thousand iron horsemen down the slope. Only then did I ask about the situation in the camp, and asked all about the training subjects and food supplies on weekdays.
The rider Tang Wu had already stood up at this moment, and he didn't feel it when he was riding on the horse, but when he got off the horse and stood in front of him, he saw that he was tall and burly, and he was more than a head taller than ordinary people. At this moment, when he heard Wei Mingxuan mention the world-famous Northern Qi Town National Army, he was arrogant and patted his chest and said, "The Northern Qi Town National Army claims that no one can block its edge head-on, and that is because they don't know our existence. I don't talk big either, and now I'm at the worst. If you give me another three or five years, well, no, I'll only need two years......"
"Then I'll find a way to give you two years!" Wei Mingxuan stretched out his hand and slammed his fist on Tang Wu's shoulder armor, making a muffled thud. "When the time comes, don't lose face."
Tang Wu just snorted behind the face armor, Wei Mingxuan's punch on the shoulder armor was like tickling, but the intimacy in the fist obviously made Tang Wu very useful, and his honest laughter revealed incomparable pride and confidence. Thinking about saying a few more bold words, he suddenly remembered something when the words came to his mouth, and said with a smile, "Childe is in a hurry, so I am stationed here to guard, Tang San and Tang Si They went out to practice, I have already sent the scout to report the news, but no matter how I say it, I can't come back today, please forgive Childe." ”
"It's okay, I'm also at the Liyang realm these days, thinking that I have to come over to take a look, you hurry up and withdraw the messenger scout, don't work to mobilize the people." Wei Mingxuan smiled and said meaningfully, "Second, I also thought that someone said that I had a rebellious behavior, so I took him to see it together." ”
"Who is so rampant that he dares to spew blood and slander the temple...... Son. If I catch him, I'll have to light him with a sky lantern. Tang Wu spat on the ground angrily, and said angrily, "This kind of person, whoever gives birth to a son has no asshole, and the son must not be angry with these rats." It's not worth it to be angry. ”
Wei Mingxuan laughed, seeing that the Taishou Lord was anxious and angry, his face turned red into a pig's liver color, but he didn't embarrass the situation anymore, he hurriedly grabbed Tang Wu and scolded with a smile, "Such a big person, he is only half obedient, but I said to bring someone to see if I understand." ”
Tang Wu was stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Wang Zhi who was standing behind Wei Mingxuan, but he didn't have the slightest embarrassment when he was bumped into when he said bad things behind his back, but he became more and more angry, even if he was covered with face armor, he couldn't hide the unkindness on his face at this time, and he didn't let go, "If it weren't for the son here, otherwise he would have been torn apart." ”
"That's it, this ruthless talk has never been dropped." Wei Mingxuan shook his hand and smiled, "On that day, we swore a bloody oath, and the three chapters of the covenant law, you can say that you can listen to this Wang Taishou to wash my innocence." ”
Tang Wu agreed, and glanced at Wang Zhi fiercely with squinted eyes, if his vision could really kill, Wang Zhi would have been dead for an unknown number of times. Seeing that Wang Zhi didn't dare to face it, he walked to the side of the slope with satisfaction, and shouted towards the black cloud-like riding formation, "Brothers, let me ask you, what should I do if the Qi people invade my border and kill my compatriots?" ”
"Kill!"
Thousands of cavalry soldiers did not hesitate, sat on their horses and replied in unison, and the sound resounded through the clouds.
"If the general is greedy for life and afraid of death, and cowers in battle, what should he do?"
"Kill!"
"If the son plots rebellion and does not obey, what should he do if he trains the army for private use."
"Kill!"
The echo of the first "kill" is still there, and the second word "kill" hit it unexpectedly by stepping on the drum, and then the third sound, like a storm crashing on the shore and overlapping waves, wave after wave until a huge wave is pushed into the sky, and it slaps heavily in everyone's hearts.
In front of the sound of this hurricane and angry waves, Wang Zhi's face turned pale, and he raised his head with a shocked face, looking at the second prince who was standing with his hands in his hands, he was ashamed and ashamed, and he almost fell to his knees.
"How many years have the Northwest Border Pass and the Northern Qi Dynasty fought, countless lives have been piled up, but they are still the same as a few decades ago, the government and the opposition are all over the place, and they are suspicious of each other, and this battle is very aggrieved."
Wei Mingxuan sighed heavily, and in that lingering voice, his expression was gloomy, "It is said that my Tang Wenwu would rather die than give in, but in fact, they are all cowards who only think about death with a knife on their necks." On weekdays, he supports the army and is self-respecting, greedy for ink, and military discipline is corrupted, and he doesn't do anything that should be done, and he doesn't fall behind when he doesn't do anything that shouldn't be done. ”
"If death solves the problem, I really hope that they will die sooner." I don't know how many times I've thought about these words, Wei Mingxuan only gritted his teeth, his delicate face was full of hideous viciousness, but when Wang Zhi thought that it would turn into a raging roar in the next moment, Wei Mingxuan smiled and whispered, "Gaffe." Let Lord Wang laugh. ”
Wang Zhi was only dumbfounded, thinking about how this sudden wind and rain could make people turn a corner for a while. However, Tang Yi listened to it with relish, if he didn't know the true identity of Tang Gongzi, listening to these words of relief at this moment, thinking about the grievances he had suffered before, he was afraid that he would jump up and cheer loudly.
"So, I'm going to let these guys who have forgotten their roots stare at how the soldiers are brought and how the battle is fought. One day, I will take these brothers all the way to Shangjing. Let those chickens and dogs in Shangjing also take a good look. Wei Mingxuan roared in a low voice, because he deliberately lowered his voice, the green tendons on his neck bulged out like the roots of an old tree, and his eyes flashed with a fanatical and dangerous light, he took two steps towards Wang Zhi and said in a low voice, "Since you know my intentions, then, Wang Zhi, are you willing to help me." ”
did not condescendingly say such words as are you willing to follow me, although Wang Zhi thought that Wei Mingxuan, whether it was his identity or prestige, did not have the slightest disobedience in saying it in such a tone. Then he said it so bluntly and plainly, so directly to the heart, although I don't know if it is the true reflection of his heart, or how much it is deliberately wooed, this sentence with anticipation and longing, are you willing to help me, it is enough to provoke the blood in everyone's bones.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is willing to die for Your Highness."
Wang Zhi took a step back, and bowed seriously, but he didn't deliberately pretend to be grateful, this day was full of ups and downs, and there was no sadness or joy at this moment. He naturally knew that if he refused, he was afraid that he would never be able to leave this valley today. But if you can live well in a grand manner, naturally no one will refuse, and from then on you will tie your fate to this ambitious and not ambitious second prince, and there is nothing unwilling to say, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
So be it.
Wei Mingxuan returned the salute and seriously corrected the mistakes in the other party's words, his voice was mellow and peaceful, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, warm and pleasant.
"It's for Datang!"
