Chapter 47: The Power of One Man
Xiang Ye fed Guan Yijian water back and forth more than ten times, and when he stood in front of Guan Yijian for the last time and put the skin bag on Guan Yijian's mouth, he clearly saw that Guan Yijian's lips that touched the mouth of the skin were stuck to a piece of roasted flesh by the skin.
After Guan Yijian drank the water in his skin bag again, Xiang Ye heard a muffled sound of "poof", followed by a disgusting smell that entered his nose.
He looked down behind Guan Yijian, and saw that there was a lot of yellow things on the ground, but Guan Yijian's back door didn't close it, and sprayed out the dirt in his abdomen.
Xiang Ye covered his nose and jumped out of the flames that surrounded him, and when he came out, Meng Su asked with concern, "Isn't he dead yet?" ”
"It's coming." Xiang Ye looked at the burning flames with an expressionless face, let out a long breath, and said, "I learned this method from a book I read in the past, but that book talks about how to roast hedgehogs, I just changed it to roast people." It's a pity that there is no lime water, so I can't beat all the dirt in his stomach. Fortunately, the water he drank was salted, and the skin and flesh should have tasted after being roasted, and there were two small fish in the first bag of water I fed him, which should be in his stomach at this time, which can have the effect of monosodium glutamate, and it must be delicious after roasting. ”
"Gross!" As soon as Xiang Ye's words fell, Xiang Qing on the side couldn't hold back any longer, leaned forward, and spit out all the little things he ate in the hall.
Xiang Ye looked at her sideways, tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "General Xiang, do you also feel nauseous?" ”
Xiang Qing covered his mouth with his hand and waved his hand at him without saying a word.
Xiang Ye turned his head to look at Meng Su who was standing on the other side, and saw that Meng Su was also like gold paper, and it seemed that he was also very uncomfortable.
"Since you two can't stand it, go farther, just me and him here." Xiang Ye pointed at Xiang Tong as he spoke, "There are still some finishing things that need help from others, or we can already leave." ”
Meng Su let out a long breath and beckoned to Xiang Qing, and the two women turned their backs and walked into the distance.
Xiang Ye didn't look back, his eyes kept on the raging flames, and it didn't take long for him to hear a continuous sound of vomiting coming from behind him.
In fact, when he smelled the smell of human flesh roasting, he also felt very disgusted, such a cruel method was evolved from the method of roasting hedgehogs and roasting live donkeys in it when he watched "Three Words and Two Beats". Originally, he thought that it would not be very difficult to kill someone in such a cruel way, but when it came to the actual operation, he still felt a burst of shock, and he just forced himself to be calmer on the surface.
Because the dead leaves and branches around them had long been removed, when the accumulated dead leaves and dead branches burned out, the flames gradually went out.
Xiang Ye and Xiang Tong walked towards Guan Yijian, who was tied to the tree, and the closer they walked, the stronger the burnt smell of the dead leaves and the smell of human flesh after it was roasted, and there was also the smell of some Guan Yijian's excrement, but his excrement had been roasted by the flame, and the stench was not very strong.
"Dead?" Walking behind Guan Yijian, Xiang Ye looked at his face, Guan Yijian's whole person was steaming hot, most of the skin and flesh were cooked, even if he didn't die, I am afraid he would not live long.
Guan Yijian's head drooped, and he didn't answer Xiang Ye's words, he did still have a breath at this time, the roasting of the flame only roasted his skin and flesh, and the internal organs were not greatly affected, and he couldn't die in a moment. But all of his hearing, sight, and even all senses in his body have been lost, and the only proof that he is alive is the occasional exhalation from his mouth and nose.
"You go find a stick the thickness of a child's arm." Xiang Ye circled around Guan Yijian, and when he returned to his original position, he said to Xiang Tong: "He likes Longyang, I will be a good person, and I will feel it one last time when he is dying." ”
Xiang Tong nodded tremblingly, and hurriedly ran away to find the wooden stick. At this time, in his eyes, Xiang Ye was no longer a person, but an extremely cruel and bloodthirsty ghost, because it was impossible for people to think of such a means of killing, and only evil ghosts could think of such a cruel method.
Xiang Ye put his hands behind his back, looking at Guan Yijian who was still tied to the tree with an expressionless face, and it wasn't until Xiang Tong ran back with a wooden stick that was five or six feet long that he said to Xiang Tong: "Do me a favor and untie him." ”
Xiang Tong frowned, endured the nausea in his heart and stepped forward to untie the rope tied to Guan Yijian's body, when the last rope was untied, Guan Yijian fell straight to the ground on his back, and suddenly a large piece of cooked meat was scattered aside.
Xiang Ye took two steps forward, stretched out a foot and turned Guan Yijian lying on the ground over, lifted the wooden stick he took from Xiang Tong's hand and stabbed it towards his back door, the five- or six-foot-long wooden stick was stabbed half of it by him, and when the porcelain was solid, he put the wooden stick with Guan Yijian straight up, leaned on the big tree that bound Guan Yijian just now, clapped his hands and said to Xiang Tong: "Okay, let's go!" ”
After leaving the forest, Xiang Qing once again mentioned to Xiang Ye the invitation to let him join Da Chu, Xiang Ye pondered for a while, but finally did not agree.
He had studied history and understood that after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu would continue to fight between Chu and Han for four years, in which Liu Bang became the final victor.
He doesn't like Liu Bang, he always thinks that Liu Bang is just a ruffian and scoundrel on the street, he likes Xiang Yu and thinks Xiang Yu is a real hero, but he is also a very realistic person, and he will never do the kind of thing that he knows will be a failure.
However, he did not completely cut off Xiang Qing's thoughts, he also wanted Xiang Qing to introduce Meng Su to join the Chu army's camp, at least so that the Jiangdong Xiang clan was willing to take her in and protect her.
Xiang Ye and Xiang Qing each had different intentions and walked towards the east together. Xiang Ye learned from Xiang Qing that at this time, Xiang Liang was leading the main force of the Chu army to attack Dingtao, while Xiang Yu and Liu Bang jointly led 100,000 people to advance westward.
After learning that Xiang Liang was attacking Dingtao and that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were advancing westward, Xiang Ye briefly analyzed the entire situation, and finally decided to go to Xiang Yu first.
Since Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are heading all the way to the west, they must be much closer to them than Xiang Liang. If you choose to walk with them, you will encounter fewer unexpected situations.
The group walked straight to the east, stopping and stopping for two days, but they did not encounter any special circumstances. On the evening of the third day, they came to the bank of the Yellow River, and on the other side of the river there was a small county town called Jiami. As long as you enter Jiami, you will not be far from the army led by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.
Xiang Ye stood on the bank of the Yellow River with his hands behind his back, the water flow of the Yellow River here is very turbulent, and there are craggy rocks everywhere on both banks.
The orange-red sunset is reflected in the riverbed of the Yellow River, and the blood-colored sky is connected with the golden river, and the whole world is immersed in a red and yellow.
Xiang Ye, who was standing on the bank of the Yellow River with his hands behind his back, his body seemed to be scorched with a layer of gold, and his snow-white deep clothes reflected the golden Guan Ze.
A man dressed in a man's deep clothes, but a little bewitching could be seen from the back, slowly approached Xiang Ye from behind, and walked to Xiang Ye's side, this person also stood there with his hands behind his back, watching the turbulent Yellow River.
"Xiang Ye, what are you going to do in the future?" Standing next to Xiang Ye was none other than Meng Su, who was entrusted by Li You to escort him, Meng Su looked at the rushing river, and said with a little loneliness in his eyes: "Is it that when I get to Xiang Yu, you will leave?" ”
Xiang Ye didn't look at her, his gaze was still on the riverbed, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "I don't know what I should do in the future." If there are two people in this world, one you hate very much, and the other makes you worship like a god, but you know that in the end, the person who is worshiped like a god is going to die at the hands of the person you hate so much, how will you choose? ”
"Now that you know the ending, why don't you try to change it?" Meng Su looked at Xiang Ye in puzzlement, under the afterglow of the sunset, Xiang Ye's slightly bronzed skin refracted a faint golden halo, making his already handsome appearance look more masculine and masculine, Meng Su couldn't help but look stupid.
Xiang Ye, who had been staring at the river, didn't notice Meng Su's abnormality, he was silent for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Meng Su, you must know that a person's strength is limited, no matter how strong you and I are in the future, if there is no help from the people of the world, all we can do is to change the small piece of heaven and earth in front of us, and it will not play any key role in the whole world!" ”
"Mr. Gai Nie said that as long as you and I combine our swords, we will be indestructible, even if we are against the master of Wu Yue Sword Shrine, we have the power to fight, isn't this strength enough?" Meng Su looked at Xiang Ye with some puzzlement, what Xiang Ye said was too profound, she really couldn't understand it.
Xiang Ye shook his head slightly and sighed: "So what?" Mr. Gai Nie has a long sword to smash the world, and now he is just looking for a secluded place to cultivate his body? How do you and I compare to him? The swordsmanship of Wu Yue's sword shrine master, Xin Nong, and Mr. Gai Nie is only between the two middles, and he still has a sword shrine power that I don't know how many people there are, and now he can only be a corner of the world as an out-of-world sect? For the trend of the whole world, it is necessary to have thousands of troops to decide, even if that person does not have a strong personal strength, as long as he has strong enough soldiers and horses, and the people support him enough, he will eventually succeed! ”
