Chapter 114: Private Feelings and Righteousness
It's in a small clearing outside the temple. At this time, no less than thirty people gathered. These people all carried weapons in their hands and wore red scarves on their heads. This is a sign of agreement to identify companions when the Smelling Fragrance Sect rebelled.
The thirty people were fighting around the three people. Of the three men, one of them was about forty years old, and the other two were young people in their twenties. The middle-aged man was tall and burly, carrying a heavy knife in his hand. Although facing such an unfavorable situation, he still couldn't see a trace of panic on his face, and the iron-like temperament that had been tempered by the battlefield for a long time made Yu Ren secretly admire when he looked at it.
The two young men seemed to be his guards. At this time, they were wielding their broadswords vigorously, trying their best to protect their master.
At this time, Yu Ren saw another acquaintance in this group - Liang Ruming. is the cousin of Liang Ruji, who betrayed Juhetang and followed Xu Hongru when he was in Zhili.
"Mr. Li, I advise you to follow me back to see our sect leader honestly. With just the three of you, do you think you can rush out?
Don't worry, our sect leader is a magnanimous person, as long as you sincerely contribute to my teaching, you will win the world in the future, and the sect leader will never treat you badly. Anyway, this world is not your family's, where to do it is not to do it, why do you have to follow their Zhu family.
What's more, the emperor of the Zhu family is not good to you. Put you on the edge of the bitter cold pass, and you will be guarded for more than ten years. You worked hard for their Zhu family, but the emperor only knew how to have fun in the palace all day long, did he ever think of you occasionally? ā
The middle-aged man didn't speak, his eyes were like a tiger waiting to attack, and he was obviously not moved by Liang Ruming's words.
Liang Ruming probably also felt how pale and powerless his persuasion was in front of this general who had been living and dying for many years and had fought for the Ming Dynasty for many years. So, he didn't say much, just quietly drew out his long sword, and prepared to finish off the only remaining famous general of the Ming Wanli Dynasty.
"It seems that he should be Li Zhaoji." Ruolan whispered in Yu Ren's ear.
"That's right. But it's strange how he hasn't arrived in Jinan until now. Yu Ren said softly.
Just when Yu Ren was talking to Ruolan, Liang Ruming had already made a move. Liang Ruming is worthy of being one of the three heroes of Juhetang, and he really stretched out his hand. Li Zhaoji's two guards were no match at all, and before they could make a few moves, one was kicked down, and the other was also stabbed in the arm by Liang Ruming's long sword.
However, although the two were injured, they did not flinch, and Liang Ruming was about to attack Li Zhaoji, when the two young men rushed up again and stopped Liang Ruming in front of him.
Liang Ruming sneered, "Don't do it!" ā
With that, his sword also stabbed out. Although the two tried their best to resist, they only stopped three moves before they were stabbed by Liang Ruming and kicked to the ground again.
Li Zhaoji, who has always been calm, finally made a move. His broadsword swung and pressed down on Liang Ruming like a small mountain. Liang Ruming was really startled when he suddenly saw this powerful move. Quickly jumped to the side, not daring to take it hard.
However, although Li Zhaoji's knife was powerful, it did not move very quickly, probably because he also wore a layer of armor under his outer robe. Moreover, his moves are simple, and there are hardly any fancy, which makes it very easy for Liang Ruming, who is not wearing armor and has a quick hand, to avoid it.
Seeing this, Yu Ren shook his head secretly. This kind of knife technique is indeed very effective in killing enemies on the battlefield, but it is very impractical to fight alone with people in the rivers and lakes, especially when facing masters.
Sure enough, after seven moves, Liang Ruming saw Li Zhaoji's shortcomings. Li Zhaoji's eighth move was handed out, and Liang Ruming had already turned to Li Zhaoji's side, avoiding his knife momentum. Li Zhaoji saw that Liang Ruming suddenly flashed to his side, and secretly screamed that it was not good, and wanted to quickly withdraw his knife and fight back. However, because his knife was too heavy and strong, there was no way to withdraw it quickly.
At this moment, Liang Ruming's long sword had already stabbed Li Zhaoji's throat mercilessly.
Li Zhaoji sighed secretly, "It's over!" ā
He never expected that he came to Shandong to quell the chaos, but before the chaos was settled, he was killed by the thieves in the middle of the road. As a generation of famous generals, he did not die on the real battlefield, but quietly died by the side of this poor barren mountain and broken temple, which cannot but be said to be a pity!
But he couldn't change that reality. He went to the battlefield with his father when he was a child, and fought countless battles in his life, even if he encountered a powerful enemy, he had never been so impatient as today.
Thinking of this, Li Zhaoji couldn't help but sigh, simply closed his eyes, and stopped resisting.
But just when Liang Ruming's long sword touched Li Zhaoji's throat and was about to stab into it, he suddenly stopped.
Li Zhaoji saw that Liang Ruming suddenly stopped, and thought that he was going to persuade himself again, so he said angrily, "If you want to kill, you will kill, there is nothing to say." The big deal is death, I, Li Zhaoji, am a person from the imperial court, and I am a ghost of the imperial court when I die, and I want to surrender to you thieves, there is no door! ā
Liang Ruming didn't speak, still standing quietly. His eyes widened, looking at Li Zhaoji, looking incredulous.
Only then did Li Zhaoji see that Liang Ruming's chest had been pierced by a sharp sword, and the blood was like pure dew in the morning, with a dazzling bright red that was slowly emerging from Ye's chest, and then gently dripping down from the tip of the sword.
At this moment, the surroundings were suddenly extremely quiet, and Li Zhaoji felt that he could clearly hear the sound of blood beads falling under the tip of the sword. This sudden appearance of the sword must be an unpredictable trick, Li Zhaoji thought. Otherwise, how could he stab a master like Liang Ruming with a sword.
"Uncle Six!" With a scream, a woman rushed out of the ruined temple. He helped Liang Ruming.
Liang Ruming's eyes, which had begun to slowly stiffen, rolled lightly after hearing the voice.
"What if...... Orchid! ā
"Sixth uncle, it's me!" Ruolan said, tears hanging from her face no longer controlling.
Liang Ruming's eyes rolled again, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"No, I thought before I died...... I'll see you again. Liang Ruming seemed to have suddenly seen his relatives, and suddenly he had a lot more strength on his body, and his speech began to be a lot more coherent.
Ruolan didn't know what to say for a while. Although this sixth uncle betrayed his master and became the public enemy of their Juhetang, but now that he is going to die, Ruolan only thinks about his good past. She remembered that when she was young, every time the sixth uncle came to the house, he would bring some maltose and jujube to their sisters, and then quietly stuffed them in their little hands.
Stepfather Liang Ruji did not allow them to eat these snacks.
Liang Ruji taught them from an early age that they should take the first saint Mozi as an example and not be greedy for enjoyment. He himself has done a good job in this regard, and at the same time, he is also very strict with the children.
Therefore, Ruolan and Ruomei, two children, have never bought candy and snacks that children love since they were young. Only when Liang Ruming came, they could quietly get some happiness that belonged to the child from this sixth uncle. At this time, it is also the time when they are the happiest.
"Sixth uncle! You're not going to die. Ruolan cried.
The smile on Liang Ruming's face became even stronger. He seemed to want to reach out and touch the little girl in front of him, but his hand couldn't move.
"IāI can't do it! Tell you, Father. I know wrong! He...... That's right! Let's, let him, must be ...... Carry forward Juhetang.
In addition, in addition, I ...... And one more wish! ā
When Liang Ruming said this, his face became more and more pale.
"Sixth uncle, say it! I will fulfill your wishes. Ruolan said with a crying voice.
"IāI know. As our ...... Traitor to the Liang family, I ...... No face to make such a request. But I still hope that ......, you can help me beg your father......
Let him bury my ashes on the mountain of ancestral graves. ā
Speaking of this, Liang Ruming looked at Ruolan expectantly.
"I promise you that I will let my father-in-law return your remains to the ancestral grave mountain."
When Liang Ruming heard this, a smile of relief finally appeared on his face.
But the smile didn't last long on his face, and it gradually stiffened.
Ruolan couldn't control it anymore and started crying.
Lu Yue on the side saw that she had killed this enemy, but Ruolan was so sad that she couldn't help but panic, thinking that she had killed the wrong person.
Seeing Yu Ren coming out of the broken temple, Lu Yue was like a child who had done something wrong, and slowly greeted him.
"I'm ......!"
