Chapter 37: The Fish Dies
At the time, Mi Fei was in the big tent.
Mi Fei, Lu Lei, and Lu Chen had just finished dinner, and they were discussing the battle situation in a low voice while drinking tea.
Mi Fei: "According to the information sent by General Zhao, the fish has bitten the hook, and then you can start to start the rod." ”
Lu Lei nodded and said, "Yes, it's been more than ten days, and it's time for them to know our true combat effectiveness." ”
Lu Chen put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Everything is ready, just wait for General Mi to give an order." ”
"In this case, I will replace the wine with tea, and I wish it a hit tomorrow." Mi Fei raised the teacup in his hand, looked at the two of them and said loudly.
The two brothers glanced at each other and raised their glasses to drink the tea.
The next day, the drums of war beat and the murderous spirit soared to the sky.
Hearing the earth-shattering war drums outside the city, Rexi and Zhuo didn't have time to think about it, so they arranged for their men to guard as usual, and then casually climbed the east gate to look at Zhao Chong's army in the distance. I don't know why, he is a little flustered today, it stands to reason that he should have gotten used to the strong attacks in the past few days, today, is there any difference?
Recy and Takumi looked around carefully, trying not to miss a single detail.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he finally saw that something was wrong, the robbed equipment! It was firmly glued to the hands of the guards! Archers can't shoot arrows anymore, and guards with spears can't change their attacks!
What a ruthless move to lure the wolf into the house! He was fooled. He was cautious enough, and he had obviously checked that the confiscated things were non-toxic and harmless, but now, it was too late to investigate the reason.
He didn't know, even if he checked the equipment, it was useless, this batch of materials, Lu Chen was the meat sent to his mouth, these bows and crossbows, only after the scorching sun and sweating in the hands of the guards, the protective film on the surface would melt and leak out the strong adhesive inside. Yesterday they had already found someone to see it, and today it will be a scorching sun.
Before Rexi and Zhuo could figure out a solution to the problem on the city wall, they suddenly heard some noisy figures not far from the city wall. When he looked back, his eyes widened even more angrily.
Who will tell him where so many officers and soldiers in the city have come from?
Defeated! Defeated!
In the evening, Lu Chen found Rexi and Zhuo covered in blood in a small farmhouse in Naqu City.
He sat cross-legged in front of the hall, his armor removed, and threw it in the courtyard at will, with his long sword lying horizontally on his knees, his hands clubbed backwards, and he looked up at the sky.
When Lu Chen opened the door, he saw such a scene, a middle-aged man who looked tired sat defenselessly at the bottom of the stairs and watched the sunset silently. Compared to Rexi and Zhuo who he saw in Pa Qing City, he seemed to be ten years older in less than a month.
"You're Jizhu in Ba Qing City, what do you call your real name?" Rexi and Zhuo didn't move, just spoke.
"Palace Division, Lu Chen." Lu Chen still answered.
"People from the capital. When I was a child, I heard people say that the capital is prosperous, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are thrown away directly if they can't finish eating, and every family can't wear too many clothes. I've been very envious since I was a child, I think how can the gap between people be so big, is it because I was born in that song, I haven't eaten enough and don't have warm clothes since I was a child, and I hate my father and mother when I see people wearing new clothes every year, why didn't I give birth to the capital. My father is a gambler, or an alcoholic, he beat me when he lost the bet, and beat me when he drank too much, it hurts, my mother protected me, and he beat me to death. Oh, that stupid woman, she has never enjoyed happiness in her life, she was born to suffer. ”
Rexi and Zhuo didn't even look at Lu Chen, they just raised their heads and looked at the sky like that, and said to themselves: "How old was the first time you killed someone?" I was 10 years old, running errands and pouring swill for other people, saving up money to buy medicine. Hiding at home for a few days, he didn't dare to make a move. One day he got drunk again, beat me up and said I was hungry, hungry, hahahahaha, how kind I am, I cooked for him, I couldn't help it, and put the poison in the dish. Watching him eat one bite at a time, do you know how I feel, both scared and expectant, watching him bleed, I am very scared, do you know what I am afraid of, I am afraid that he will not die, hahahahahaha, I am afraid that he will not die. ”
Rexi and Zhuo's laughter was so happy, but so harsh, he glanced at Lu Chen, then raised his head again, and then said to himself: "He seemed to know that he was going to die, and glared at me fiercely, he knew that I killed him." But so what, he killed my mother, I just avenged my mother. His eyes were so fierce that he couldn't even stand up. How can I let go of this kind of scene, he has always beaten me, I never dared to fight back, once I couldn't help fighting back, he almost beat me to death, and I will never dare again. It was different, he had no energy, and I rushed up and punched him in the stomach. The more he glared at me, the harder I beat him, I don't know if he was killed by me or poisoned, it makes no difference, it's cheaper for him. ”
Lu Chen knew that he might not answer the call himself, he just wanted to speak, but he still stood at the door and didn't speak.
"When my mother was a child, she used to take me to play in the yard, she weaved cloth and let me bask in the sun, saying that I could grow tall and strong. I remember it vividly. In the evening, she washed clothes in the courtyard and told me that in the future, I would be as free as the clouds on the horizon, and that it would be best to go to the capital. I also remember that, alas, she didn't see anything. ”
Closing the words, Rexi and Zhuo closed their eyes, but still held their heads high.
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk." ”
"I don't want to go to the capital, Lord Lu, can you help, cremation, find a morning, when the sun is in the east, scatter the ashes on the hunting ground of Naqu with the wind." Rexi and Zhuo still didn't open their eyes, but Lu Chen clearly saw that tears were flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Lu Chen paused, he knew that this was unruly, and it was a capital crime to rebel, but he also had to press the capital to judge the crime, he had to give an explanation to the people of the world, and he had to severely punish others so that they would not dare to commit it again. But he answered, "Okay." ”
The corners of Rexi and Zhuo Wenyan's mouths twitched, and they seemed to be relaxed. Then while Lu Chen was not paying attention, he picked up the long sword in his hand and killed himself.
By the time Lu Lei found this place, the sun had already set, the moonlight was bright, and the small courtyard was full of silver, and Lu Chen was standing with his hands behind his back, his back lonely.
"Third brother, why are you still here, the rebels in the city have basically been cleared, and Guangqi has been caught, and several deputy generals have died and surrendered, but they haven't found Rexi and Zhuo."
Lu Chen spoke: "Rexi and Zhuo are dead. ”。
Only then did Lu Lei see people lying on the ground and blood stains all over the ground. He paused and said, "In that case, we should be happy, what's the matter?" ”
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It's okay, second brother, it's just sad for a while." Call someone to come and collect the body, let's go back. ”
