Chapter 14: Overnight in the Woods
Chapter 14: Overnight in the Woods (Free of Charge)
On the horse, I let go and indulge, and the two legs were grinding on the saddle, and after a long time, it was already painful and unbearable. Since leaving Jingzhou in the morning, when I see that the sun is about to set, I am tired and hungry, and I am shaking on the horse. Jiang Wei next to him has not changed at all, too, he was born in the territory of the Qiang tribe, and he came over on horseback when he was young, and he heard that sleeping on a horse will be fine. But even if he doesn't compare with him, there is a younger Wang Rui next to me, this kid actually gritted his teeth and insisted, and kept looking at me with his eyes.
I gritted my teeth and continued to endure it.
But...... These two legs...... No, it's really not done, even if it's laughed at by Wang Rui, I can't support it, obviously there is a carriage, why compare this?
Because of my brother named Liu Shengzhi, we decided to go to Hanzhong. In fact, this was Zhuge Qiao's proposal, but the other two of them also agreed one after another, even the older Jiang Wei was no exception. Naturally, I can't imagine that they are like caged birds, bored and want to fly out for a spin. However, it is really not good to go to visit his brother secretly. As soon as I hesitated, Xiao Wang Rui slanted at me with those twelve points of contempt, saying that I was a flower in the greenhouse, and the grass under the big tree could not withstand the wind and rain. I'm in a hurry, no matter what the young master is and there are many masters, if I can go out, what kind of place is Hanzhong, will I encounter danger, anyway, I have made a plan, just go.
It happened that the gentleman knew, and he didn't stop him, and said, "Go ahead." I'll hide it from you at home, go and meet Zhang Lu, he is a very interesting person. ”
Seeing Zhang Lu, I looked at Mr. strangely, Hanning is too guarded by Zhang Lu, I went to inquire about Liu Shengzhi's news, what to do when I saw Zhang Lu?
When Zhao Zheng and Zhao Ziang, the commander of the guards, learned about this, he became angry all of a sudden, and he was so angry that he almost went crazy, and found the theory of Mr. The gentleman smiled: "Kong Ming's three tips, to ensure that your lord goes to Jiangdong, where the tiger is like a cloud, safely." Now it's just stealing Hanzhong, and with your protection, why worry about a Zhang Lu? ”
Zhao Zheng somehow persuaded Mr. and personally deployed it to go with us.
Originally, I was going to ride in the same car as Zhuge Qiao, but Wang Rui laughed at me for not being able to ride a horse, which couldn't help but make me angry.
Compare to compare! In a word, I became the person who is now riding a "tiger".
I touched the back of my waist with my hand, and it was very sore.
"It's not going to work, it's not going to be able to speak!" Wang Rui's scathing voice came. This little thing!
"Whoever doesn't do it, I'll be fine if I ride for another three days!" Although my mouth is not right, my tone is strong.
At home, Zhao Zheng is like an old hen guarding her chicks, but as soon as she rides a horse out of the city, she is immediately high-spirited, galloping back and forth, whistling again and again, it seems to be indescribably happy, and when she rises, she compares equestrianism with Jiang Wei, isn't this an example for Wang Rui? It's still my guard, I can't see my pain, in the end, the man is careless, if it's Sun Shangxiang...... I couldn't help but be stunned when I thought of this.
Sun Shangxiang, this person who is not like a mother but a sister, she is good in Jiangdong now.
Thinking like this, my thoughts couldn't help but flutter away from Cen Cen, so that I didn't pay attention to Wang Rui's words that stimulated me below.
Zhuge Qiao poked his head out of the car behind him and shouted, "Hurry up and sharpen, I'm hungry." "I'm so happy in my heart that I can't wait to kiss Zhuge Qiao. But I saw him smile at me, it turned out that he said this for me, and he was really a smart man.
Zhao Zheng looked at the sun and shouted: "Ah, blame me, blame me, it's really slow today, it seems that we can't get to the town in front, if the young master is unwilling to walk at night, we can only rest in the dense forest in front." ”
I was too tired to stand it, and of course I didn't want to walk at night, but I was a little worried and asked, "There won't be wicked people in the jungle, right?" ”
Zhao Zheng smiled: "Still in Jingzhou, how can a wicked person dare to commit murder?" ”
I look at this place where there is no village in front of the village, and there are no people in the back of the village, and there are no people for a hundred miles, I can't help but sigh, is Jingzhou so desolate?
Mr. Shuijing once said that in recent years, the world has been in turmoil, and the population has plummeted. At the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the population of the country was about 50.07 million, and after the Yellow Turban Uprising and the Three Kingdoms War, the national population remained only 1.4 million after the Red Cliff War. The Yellow Turban Rebellion was in 184 A.D., and the Chibi Rebellion was in 208 A.D., and in just over 20 years, the population was less than 3% of the original. The prestige of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms is truly built on the accumulation of corpses. Cao Cao has a poem describing the scene at that time: "The head is hung in front of the horse, and the woman is carried behind the car", "The white bones are exposed in the wilderness, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, there are more than 100 people, and the thought breaks people's intestines". This verse is exactly what I see before my eyes.
The Three Kingdoms Unrighteous War, is it really the Three Kingdoms Unrighteous War?
So, am I really doing the right thing?
Either way, there's no turning back.
When I got off the horse, I felt pain all over my body, and I couldn't stand on my legs. looked back at Wang Rui, but saw that he was also shaking, and couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
Now there is no hot water, and there is no hot food, so just drink a few sips of cold water with low water, and then gnaw some jerky, and it is a meal. In ancient times, it was so hard to walk, but fortunately, I don't have any complaints now, not to mention that all my actions are because of me.
The forest was wet at night, a few of us wrapped the fur fur on our bodies, all kinds of small insects danced back and forth, Wang Rui snapped and slapped angrily, although the light was extremely dim, but by the moonlight sprinkled from the treetops, it could still be seen that there were obvious pimples on his delicate skin. Although mosquitoes also bitten me, I didn't seem to feel anything, and I didn't even itch, so angry that Wang Rui said that I was an elm pimple.
Zhao Zheng had already fallen asleep, and he was only on duty in the second half of the night. The guards on duty were still looking around vigilantly. Although Zhao Zheng sometimes manages a little more, he is actually a square and loyal person, and his skills are good, and he is a rare general, otherwise he would not have been sent to protect himself.
I was exhausted, but I couldn't sleep for some reason, I had never had such an overnight stay, and the moon tonight gave me a special fluctuation of thoughts.
I sat up gently.
Jiang Wei's eyes immediately narrowed, and then he turned sideways and fell asleep again. What an alert man!
The guard on duty at night said softly, "Young master." ”
I waved my hand at him.
Then he stood up and looked up at the sky. The moonlight flowed gently like water. On that night decades ago, his father was almost killed in Pingyuan County, and after the Yellow Turban Army left, he got up from the pile of dead people, and was injured in many places, and was hit by an arrow in his left arm, and blood gushed like a spring, making him dizzy and faltering for a while. The belief in living made him grit his teeth and go down all the way back to the city. At that time, the sky also had such a round of moonlight? What kind of feelings and hopes did that night of escaping death leave him? The same night, but it can't let me touch the thoughts of the people under the moon.
Father's thoughts, almost no one can fathom. Underneath his philanthropic face, it is difficult for people to find out what he really thinks, and the closer you get to him, the deeper this feeling becomes. I know that in that period of history, he killed my brother-in-law Liu Feng for my smooth succession. And now, after finding his eldest son, what will he do to me?
Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I can't help but think about it. Over the years, my way of thinking has become more and more like a child, more and more integrated into my own role, and it is even difficult to put myself out of the matter for objective and calm analysis as I once did.
The great wheel of history has changed, this change is slight, but it has changed, maybe I am not strong enough, but now I am not alone.
I looked back at the people around me.
Jiang Wei hugged the cloak, closed his eyes, and was still cold and proud between his eyebrows, but this arrogance gradually became restrained after being polished by Mr. Kong Ming. The current Jiang Wei is no longer the Jiang Wei when he first came, and he is so proud that he refuses to bow his head even when he sees me. At this time, he can even put down his body and talk to an ordinary civilian or scholar. Is this maturity? I looked at this most powerful general in the future, and I felt infinite emotion in my heart, Beiding Central Plains, but it depends on him. Speaking of pride, Guan Yunchang's arrogance was the most famous in this era, he treated the civilian soldiers favorably, but looked down on the scholar class or intellectuals, and it was precisely because of this that he would say to Sun Quan's envoy that the tiger girl would not marry a dog, which also directly led to his defeat. When I came to this era, although when I met him, I mentioned related topics a lot, but he didn't pay attention to it at all - in fact, my father, Kong Ming and other people also mentioned this matter countless times, but it didn't work, so it can be seen that it is really difficult to change the nature.
Zhuge Qiao suddenly sneezed, my heart sank, his body is not good, don't catch a cold here, go back and explain it here. As soon as I thought that he would die in his twenties, I was worried and afraid, so I walked over gently, put the Xuanhu Daqi on his body, and rolled Wang Rui to the side and put it on for him. This little Wang Rui is not stable during the day, and he is so dishonest when he sleeps at night, but he is such a person, he erected a boat down the river and ended the situation of the Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop, what a wonderful world this is.
I sighed, and when I turned around, Jiang Wei had already sat up, looking at me, who was two heads shorter than him, and it was obvious that there was a kind of emotion in my eyes.
I walked over and said, "Go to bed early." ”
He patted me on the shoulder and pulled me to his side: "Let's sleep together." ”
I nodded and snuggled into his arms, seemed to smell a calf, closed my eyes, and soon fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dawn, and I was covered with Jiang Wei's cloak and my own Xuanhu Dayu. I was stunned and was about to get up, but I saw Zhuge Qiao sitting beside me. He nodded and smiled at me: "You are so young, you can still take care of others." ”
I smiled generously and said, "It's nothing? He was about to say something to buy people's hearts, but he heard Zhuge Qiao continue: "But why did you snatch all the cloak on Jiang Wei's body, causing Jiang Wei to freeze for half the night?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and secretly looked at Jiang Wei who was riding in front of me, but saw that he was laughing with Zhao Zheng. I was speechless for a while.
