First Arrival in Yancheng Chapter 48 Self-directed and self-acted
"Your Highness, do you really want to do this? Are you sure it will end? Liu Dongyang looked flustered and at a loss with a torch.
Sima Liang stared, a few dilapidated ships, thoughtful.
When he came to his senses, he threw the torch he had given him into an old ship.
"It's okay, let's do it."
With his voice, the fire spread throughout the ship.
As black smoke rose, several nearby boats were also ignited one after another. Only one ship in front of Liu Dongyang remained, which was not ignited.
Seeing that he didn't do it for a long time, Sima Liang sighed.
"Dongyang, I know what you're worried about. I don't care about your origin, but there are some people who need you to get a petition. Just drop this torch and you can become one of those people in the court. ”
Liu Dongyang's hand holding the torch trembled slightly.
His eyes were full of confusion.
"Your Highness, can I still do good deeds in that way?"
Sima Liang patted the other party's shoulder and took the torch.
Subsequently, it was thrown on the ship.
Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Sima Liang looked serious.
He sighed.
"Good things and bad things, it's up to you. After this incident, I won't need you for a while. ”
"After today, nominally you are my man, but you can do whatever you want. Besides, you know how to measure, and I don't talk nonsense. As long as you don't offend your father and a few brothers, you can use it in my name as you like. ”
Sima Liang's promise made Liu Dongyang a little surprised.
His body was a little stiff, and his eyes were slightly red.
"Your Highness, I understand. Your kindness will be remembered forever. ”
Sima Liang smiled and turned his head to look at the other party.
He patted Liu Dongyang's shoulder again.
"Fair deal, you deserve it, don't thank me."
These words not only sounded pretty, but Sima Liang's true thoughts.
He doesn't like people to owe him, and he doesn't like to owe others.
Except for others to calculate themselves, of course. If that's the case, Sima Liang will also repay it.
However, there are still some people he does not dare to retaliate against, and that is the elder brothers and his emperor father.
If he hadn't been forced to be in a hurry, Sima Liang wouldn't have wanted to provoke these people.
This incident is also a reminder for him to his brother and father. Let them not push themselves too hard.
Sima Liang will back down, but he won't always back down unconditionally.
He looked at the burning ship again. I thought: How wonderful this fire should be when it burns to the court, but unfortunately I can only listen to the final result.
Liu Dongyang, who was impressed by Sima Liang, did not have the previous fear.
He stood quietly beside the other party, watching the fire that was about to burn all over the country.
"Your Highness, it's good to know you. Today's experience is even more exciting than in the past ten years. Liu Dongyang said with a smile.
"I love to hear that." Sima Liang turned his head and pointed at the other party.
At the same time, the Five Princes were commanding a group of men.
"Yes, yes, change weapons and cut."
"Push harder, leave more marks."
"Throw away a few swords that can't be found, it looks more like throwing away armor."
……
If you don't know the times, looking at the five princes, you feel that he is the director, and he is setting up the scene.
On the other hand, he did participate in a play that he directed and acted in. Especially the screenwriter is Sima Liang.
On the other side of the river, there was fire and billowing smoke.
The fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Sima Liang set the fire, he will be in the same boat with him temporarily.
"I want to come to the guards standing guard in Zhongdu, and you will soon be able to see this smoke. I need to hurry. ”
The fifth prince turned his head and grabbed the command.
Compared with his busyness, Sima Liang is a little idle.
He sat on a stone and ate some leftover skewers. Then tell Liu Dongyang to record.
"I almost forgot. Dongyang, when you go back and write about the process of coming out this time. I remember the first sentence, writing the identity of the floating corpse, it is a secret agent of the Lu family. At the same time, it was noted that it was the Lu family who provided relevant information that allowed us to find the lost official salt. ”
"And then that's what I told you along the way, just polish it a little. Don't write about us eating skewers. This is important. ”
"Also, you have to focus on how powerful the gangsters are, and how ruthless they are. At the same time, remember to report our "dead" companions. When descripting, paint a little more colorful. Got it? ”
"By the way, if you want to add a little drama, just write that I was held hostage by gangsters. When life and death are at stake, the fifth brother is like a god descending to earth. With one enemy and one hundred, those bandits fell into the water. Eventually got me back. ”
"But those hateful scoundrels know that they are invincible. Annoyed and angry, he burned the salt ship. Eventually, all the salt recovered was destroyed. ”
"In the end, you focus on describing the fifth brother, how hard he tried to hunt down the enemy. But because the other party was too cunning, he didn't catch the other party in the end. I don't need my role. ”
"It's a pity that I don't write novels."
Sima Liang is very satisfied with the story he made.
Liu Dongyang, who heard the end from the beginning, was shocked.
Is this a statement? Even if it's made up, it shouldn't be so outrageous, right? He understood something he couldn't.
"Your Highness, wouldn't this be too exaggerated. Will those in this court really believe it? ”
It just so happened that the five princes, who were almost busy, also came over. He also heard some stories that Sima Liang had made up.
"That's right, sixth brother, you're too brave to write me. Although I have a bit of force, it's not outrageous to save people with one enemy and one hundred. It's almost the same if you write one against ten. If you want to save people, you can add a few more people. ”
"Huh?" Liu Dongyang closed his chin and looked at the five princes in surprise.
In the first half of the other party's words, he felt that there was no problem, but when he heard the second half, the corners of his eyes began to twitch uncontrollably. I thought: These two princes, have they heard too many chivalrous stories, why don't they even have any common sense.
"Why don't you delete this one?"
Liu Dongyang couldn't say bad things about the two of them, but he felt a little outrageous, so he could only make this suggestion.
"This can't be deleted."
"yes, that's important."
"Yes."
The two brothers echoed each other, so that Liu Dongyang didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the other party was embarrassed, Sima Liang sighed.
"Dongyang, what I said to the fifth brother, you just have to write. Anyway, you're just stating the "facts", and those who believe it or not have their own decisions. ”
The fifth prince nodded, agreeing with Sima Liang's statement.
At the same time, I was afraid of beating Liu Dongyang.
"You just have to do it. Just leave the rest to the old guys. Their level of storytelling is not higher than ours. At least our logic is clear, the scene is real, there are all that should be, and the dead and wounded officers have all the salt, which is already very good. ”
was persuaded by the two princes like this, even if he felt unreasonable, Liu Dongyang could only do it.
Soon, he got into the groove and began to write hard.
Seeing Liu Dongyang like this, Sima Liang and the five princes did not bother.
Come to the "Tragic Battlefield" and check the results.
After the guidance of the five princes, the footprints on the scene were dense, and it did look like many people had come.
The nearby warehouse was also opened, and several decomposing corpses were placed inside.
These corpses are Sima Liang, the people who were lost.
When he saw these unrecognizable corpses, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But thinking that these people died because of themselves, Sima Liang felt very guilty.
It was also for this reason that he dug these people out again. After all, these people basically have no relatives, and even their identities are a mystery.
Through this layout, Sima Liang can give the other party a legal identity and a grand funeral.
It was the only means of compensation he could think of.
Rest in peace for the departed, and hope that you will be happy in the next life. Don't do things for people like me. Sima Liang prayed secretly.
For these corpses, the five princes also had doubts. However, because he also had a lot of secrets, he didn't tell Sima Liang, so he didn't chase why.
After a little checking, the two got a report from the five princes.
"Your Highnesses, the scouts have noticed that someone is coming on horseback."
Sima Liang and the Fifth Prince glanced at each other, then nodded.
"Hurry up, make the final preparations."
As he spoke, Sima Liang picked up the sword that was thrown on the ground and cut his clothes. At the same time, he rolled on the ground a few times.
"Sixth brother, you are really fighting. Then I can't show weakness. ”
The fifth prince removed the hairpin and messed up his hair. Then he pulled off one of his sleeves and wiped it on his face and body with the charcoal soil left over from the previous barbecue. The ruthlessness of the attack is better than that of Sima Liang.
Not only that, seeing the other party like this, Sima Liang also compared.
The two had a lot of fun.
After a while, the two brightly dressed princes became down-and-out.
Unclothed and unkempt. I don't know, I thought that the two of them had experienced some inhuman torture.
"That's good."
"If it weren't for the pain, I would have wanted to get some blood."
"I knew I would have bought some animal blood."
"Mistaken."
……
The words of the two made Liu Dongyang a little difficult to understand.
He looked at the story he had written, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
A group of soldiers who looked anxious about the city rushed to the place where the fire broke out.
Looking at the fire in front of them, they looked embarrassed.
Among them, the leader of the squad sighed a few times.
"What the hell, what kind of guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, arson here. And it seems that there are quite a lot of people. ”
The squad leader saw a large number of footprints left on the ground, as well as several ships that were not burning properly.
As he dismounted, ready to take a closer look.
"Oh, you're here."
"If I don't come, I'll die here."
Sima Liang screamed and fell into the arms of the squad leader.
That delicate appearance is not inferior to some girls.
"Who are you?" The squad leader wondered.
He looked at Sima Liang's clothes, although they were very tattered and even a little embarrassed, but judging from the only remaining robe material, it looked like a person with status.
"I'm Sima Liang, King of Yan."
"Ahh
All officers and soldiers were dumbfounded. especially took the lead in holding Sima Liang's head. I thought to myself: I thought it was a mountain fire case, how did I become a prince and suffer. If this is not handled well, you are not finished.
Sima Liang glanced at the other party's shocked look. I thought: I took the bait.
"By the way, my fifth brother is still fighting with the gangsters inside. Go and save him, and leave me alone. ”
Saying that, Sima Liang pushed the heads of the officers and soldiers.
"What, the fifth prince is also there? And gangsters? Fighting? ”
The head felt that he had poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, and he thought that he would be a quiet night post, but he didn't expect to encounter a mountain fire.
After thinking about working all night, he met two princes and fought with gangsters.
"Quick, go in and save people. Leave the fire alone and save the five princes first. "The head is a little slurred when he speaks.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, you are waiting here, I will be back immediately."
"There you go." While Sima Liang hid his face, his shoulders kept twitching. It's like crying when you're frightened.
When most of the soldiers had passed, he looked up and stole a glance.
"The show is on."
Sima Liang snickered.
