Volume 2 Reversal of the Song One Hundred and Sixty-Eight The past is like smoke

Although it was winter, the midday sun was bright, and the armor of the cavalry reflected a dazzling cold light in the daylight, piercing the enemy troops on the hill from opening their eyes.

The array was already lined up, and Kui Duoyou took off the big yellow bow on his back, and looked at the clear blue sky and shot a chirping arrow. With the piercing sound of the heart-pounding, the cavalrymen looked at the sky on their horses and fired two arrows at the same time. In an instant, 20,000 arrows shot at the Qiuhou Qiu from all directions, and the terrifying arcs they drew in the air seemed to tear the air apart-------

The arrows burrowed into the bushes of the hill, groaning in pain. As soon as this wave of arrow arrays ended, another round of arrow rain struck, and Houhou Qiu seemed to be soaked in blood and turned into a hell on earth.

Kui Duoyou put down the big yellow bow, turned to Gongsun Yu behind him with an expressionless face and said, "It's okay, the general can lead people to attack the hills." ”

From noon to dusk, the Houhou Hill was hit by flames and arrows, and it was already a sea of blood. Gongzi and Rongyi stood at the foot of the hill, the earth-shattering sound on the hill was in their ears, and the smoke was billowing from all over the hill, and from time to time there were a few golden flames flickering proudly. The darker the sky, the brighter the firelight, like a mythical god, wearing battle armor, stepping on the beacon smoke and thunder, down to the earth to punish demons and demons.

After confirming that there was no longer a living mouth on the mound, Gongsun Yu led people to count the corpses, and pulled them back and forth one by one, and it was easy to see a richly dressed one, and when he turned it over, it was Wei Yuan, who had already lost his breath. It should have been shot to death by Kui Duoyou's arrow array, with more than a dozen arrows densely inserted in his back, his eyes were wide open, and he looked like he was dead. But no matter how you look for it, you can't find Wei Boyu's body. Gongsun Yu became more and more anxious to find it, and he was accused of offending the ancestors, but he still let Wei Yu run away, how could he explain it?

When he was in a hurry, he suddenly saw his general rushing to report: "General, blood stains have been found at the entrance of the tomb!" ”

"What?" Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, they didn't expect Wei Boyu to burrow into the tomb that had not yet been completely sealed when he was cornered. Now, it's troublesome!

The tombs of the princes in the Central Plains are generally flat ground, digging the tomb first, and then filling the remaining soil on the hole to raise the mound. Generally speaking, the longer the reigning monarch, the longer the time he has to build his own tomb. The Marquis of Wei reigned for nearly 30 years, and his tomb was not small, with a depth of five or six zhang underground, and the entrance to his tomb was located at the waist of the half mound. Down the tomb road is the underground palace. Fortunately, the underground palace has long been sealed, and if Wei Boyu enters, he can only hide in the dark tomb.

Gongsun Yu was the first to be in a hurry, he made a military order in front of Mrs. Qi: No matter whether he is dead or alive, Wei Yu must be arrested. He couldn't care so much, so he lifted his robe and went into the graveyard.

Rong Yi blocked him: "General, don't!" You can't enter this tomb! ”

"Zhou Li" regards death as life, and has detailed etiquette regulations for the burial system of princes. The underground palace is closed until the tomb is closed, and only the direct descendants of the deceased monarch can enter the tomb for inspection, and then the current monarch himself presides over the sealing of the tomb entrance. If another person enters, it will be regarded as complicity. In this sense, even the younger brother of the Marquis, Gong Shuhua, is not qualified to enter the tomb.

Gongsun Yu was not convinced: "I am also surnamed Ji after the Wei family, why can't I enter?" Besides, although there are blood stains at this entrance, I don't know that it is not a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, if you don't enter to explore, how can Mrs. Tai and Gongzi settle down? ”

Gongzihe was also very hesitant, just based on the bloodstains at the entrance of the tomb, he couldn't be sure that someone was hiding inside, let alone that this person was Wei Boyu; But if you don't go in and check it, if this person escapes, there will be endless troubles. He gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll go in and see for myself!" ”

As soon as these words came out, both Gongsun Yu and Rong Yi were resolutely opposed: "It's not okay to make a decision, Wei Yu hates you the most." If he's in there, it's going to be against you! The son of a daughter doesn't sit in the hall, I'd rather not go in, and you can't risk your life, son! ”

"I'll go in!" Kui Duoyou shouted, everyone was very surprised, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was not suitable. Kui Duoyou's life history is confusing, but no matter what he says, he must be a descendant of the Marquis Xian, and entering the tomb is not against the etiquette system.

He took the torch from the soldier's hand, and the cat's waist was about to drill in, but Gongzi blocked him: "Brother Kui, just a Wei Yu, far less important than your life!" Or don't you want to go, right? ”

Kui Duoyou smiled faintly: "Childe, there are some things that are more uncomfortable than death if they are unresolved for a lifetime!" You let me go! ”

"Alas!" Childe sighed lightly: "I know I can't stop you!" Anyway, big brother, be careful, if something is wrong, come back immediately! ”

The tomb is long and cramped, and the further down you go, the darker it becomes, and despite the torches, Kui Duoyou can only see the boundary under his feet. This tomb passage is really like a special passage to the Netherworld. Kui Duoyou's walking posture is very special, he is next to the wall of the road and leans down a little bit, so that you can observe the movement of Zi Zhou to prevent someone from sneaking up on you.

It seemed as if there was no end to the tomb------ I didn't know how long I walked, but I felt that the air was getting thinner and thinner, and the torches in my hands were getting faint and dim, and even breathing became a little difficult. If no one can be found, Kui Duoyou plans to go up and forget it.

"Your arrow array is indeed very tight!" A familiar voice came from the darkness, very abrupt, startling Kui Duoyou.

He jerked up the embers of the torch in his hand, and the afterglow illuminated a familiar face that had become terrifying at this moment. It's Wei Boyu! The face that used to be barely angular was covered with blood scabs at this time, and I don't know if it was an arrow wound on his face, or blood smeared elsewhere, plus his hairpin fell off, and his hair was very terrifying. It looks like a demon crawling out of hell!

Looking down further, Wei Boyu was sitting on the ground, with a black blood hole in his thigh, and blood was still bubbling out. There were still traces of blood on a broken arrow on the side of his body, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "If it weren't for Brother Yuan's desperate protection, the widow at this time would have been shot into a hedgehog by your arrow array!" ”

Thinking of Gongziyuan's tragic situation, Kui Duoyou felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, he tore off the hem of his robe and handed it over and said, "Bandage it, otherwise the blood will run dry, and you will be hopeless!" ”

Wei Boyu took it, but he didn't use it to bandage the wound on his leg, he just looked up at Kui Duoyou's eyes, a little stunned, and muttered: "Your ------ looks quite like your mother!" She has such eyes------"

"Say no more! You don't deserve to mention her! Kui Duoyou roared angrily. Scenes from the past come to mind------

For as long as he can remember, his adoptive father Ji Zheng has been beating his mother for the man in front of him. staring at the red eyes, the clenched fists fell on the mother's body like raindrops, and the mouth kept cursing: "You are a slut who was played by Wei Jun's father and son, Lao Tzu should have raised an outer room for Wei Shizi------ "Yunyun."

At that time, he was too young to know what an "outer room" was, but he also understood that it was not a good word. Later, as he grew up, he understood the meaning of "outer room", and understood why everyone in Chaoge City looked at him with such contempt, and he became silent. Every day, he only practiced fiercely and practiced arrows, everyone looked down on him, and since he was born, he was destined to only protect himself, and no one could hold up a piece of heaven for him.

He still remembers that when his mother was first beaten, she just endured it in silence, and at most she begged her adoptive father with tears in her eyes to believe in her innocence and defend herself. Later, her mother stopped pleading, and her adoptive father beat her again, and she began to resist. Once, when I was beaten in a hurry, my mother looked at my adoptive father with resentful eyes and said coldly: "Since you dislike me so much, you have the ability to tell the king!" Just say that you don't want us two of you, think we're dirty, and return us to the palace! Say that I am the outer chamber of the prince, you have the ability to find him! Do you have the sword to kill the son? will only be angry with us at home, what kind of man are you? The lowliest slaves in my tribe are more backbone than you! ”

He remembered that his adoptive father was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and he beat his mother half to death. When he went to protect his mother, he was also thrown out, hit his head on the ground, and fainted. When he woke up, his mother took care of himself as gently as anyone else: "Don't be afraid, friend! He won't dare to hit us again! ”

Yes, since then, the adoptive father has not beaten the mother again. Just treat her like air------

The past is like smoke, and it is unbearable to look back. And the culprit of all this is the man in front of him, who caused his mother's life to be bumpy, and it was he who made it difficult for him to return to his own family------

Wei Boyu's question pulled Kui Duoyou back from his memories of the past: "Ziliang, your mother should have told you before she died, you--not the son of the widow, but the brother of the widow, right?" ”

Kui Duoyou didn't speak, which means that he acquiesced.

"So, do you hate widows very much? Hate me for hurting your mother, and displacing you, alas! Originally, you should be a dignified prince of the country, just like Gongzi He. Now, the lineage is difficult to understand, and there is no way to argue. You should hate the widow. "The torches have been completely extinguished, and the tomb has fallen into endless darkness, and nothing can be seen. It's good to do this, so as not to look at each other and be embarrassed.

A long sigh came from Wei Boyu in the darkness: "Actually, since you hid in this tomb, the widow knows that you will definitely come in." The widow has been waiting for you! Your mother didn't have time to say what happened back then, but the widow couldn't help but tell you. People are dying, and their words are good, and the things of the past, the widow doesn't want to be sealed in this tomb forever, so you should know. What kind of mother and son are you supporting with all your might------"
