Chapter 236: Li Xing's martyrdom

This is a valley five or six miles away behind Jiashan Temple.

In the distance, the green hills are continuous, the forests are luxuriant, the birds are singing gracefully, a river in front of the soup is open, and there are green mountains behind it, like a flag.

Li Xing chose a good place, Yang Shucheng and the two helped dig a tomb, Li Xing had already prepared a large iron cabinet, and put Li Zicheng's clothes, hat, seal letter, and a sword into the big iron cabinet.

Then, Li Xing solemnly put the big iron cabinet into the tomb.

The three of them silently buried it with loess and became a small tomb.

In front of the grave, there was a big white stone, Li Xing held the sword, thought about it, and carved the words "Fengtianyu Monk" on the stone surface.

Li Xing said to Yang Shucheng: "Li Zicheng was in Shaanxi in his early years, and because of the injustice, he fled in the temple, and the monk was called a jade monk. ”

The three of them buried the grave, and at this time, the sky was already dark, and the surrounding trees were black, and the wind blew, and the pine waves were gusting, like the tide of the sea, like the sound of battle.

The three of them sat down in front of the grave, took out the wine and food they had prepared, and the three of them began to drink.

Li Xing recounted his past.

When he was young, his family was quite wealthy, and he was a well-known local family.

The following year, he entered the Beijing entrance examination, It is said that at that time, the examination questions of the subject field were leaked, and some of the fallen lifters gathered to make trouble, and he also participated, and was later wanted, and he fled back to his hometown.

Thinking that in this troubled world, it is useless to study, so I gave up literature and martial arts, searched for famous teachers everywhere, and learned good martial arts.

Five years after he returned home from the mountains, things had changed.

His family was persecuted by the government and his family was destroyed.

He sneaked into the government at night, killed the prefect's entire family, and then fled to the rivers and lakes.

During the Chongzhen period, Shaanxi suffered a series of droughts, the grain grains were not harvested, the people fled in all directions, starvation was everywhere, and the government did not know how to sympathize with the people, but instead levied and extorted violently, regardless of the life and death of the people.

The imperial court finally knew about the drought in Shaanxi and transported grain to save it, but it was embezzled by a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people got nothing.

The people rebelled, but the government came to suppress it, and killed the victims in case of disaster, to pretend to be their own merits, so the thieves in Shaanxi became bigger and bigger, and finally it became a prairie fire, and the government could no longer extinguish it.

At that time, there were several powerful groups of rebels.

Li Xing took refuge in a few houses, feeling that they robbed everywhere and had no ambitions, and finally couldn't make it to the climate.

Finally met Li Zicheng, he was the most disciplined among these thieves, he had also studied for a few years, and he had great ambitions, Li Xing felt that he could assist and achieve a career.

Since Li Xing identified the real master, he followed him wholeheartedly, Li Xing was strategic, and planned several major events for Li Zicheng, so Li Zicheng relied on him very much and obeyed his words.

Li Xing also thinks that he has met a confidant, and he wholeheartedly assists him, and he will not hesitate to do so.

This year, the king entered Beijing, founded the country, and was full of success, but he was forced to leave the capital after Wu Sangui colluded with the Qing soldiers to enter Shanhaiguan, and Li Zicheng, who had been sitting for more than 30 days.

Along the way, he was chased and beaten by Qing soldiers, and the more he fought, the fewer the team fewer. Li Xing proposed to unite with the Ming to fight against the Qing soldiers.

Who knew that Li Xing took Bai Yuyao and Yang Shucheng to run back and forth for several months, but nothing was accomplished, and when they came back, Li Zicheng was also killed by the Qing soldiers.

Li Xing and Yang Shucheng talked about the past, so they drank wine.

He had never said so much, and he had never brought up his past in front of the two of them.

The two of them felt that he was resolute and resourceful, and they admired him very much.

Listening to his words tonight, I felt that he was a big hero, ambitious, almost successful, but I didn't expect to fail, he really died before he got out of school, and the hero was full of tears.

The two didn't know how to comfort him, but they just picked up the wine bowl and touched the bowl with him to drink.

Li Xing's face was slightly red, he had always drunk a lot, if Li Zicheng was undefeated, he would be more than enough to be a prime minister, but now everything is like a dream.

Li Xing was a little drunk, he said, the twelve boxes of gold, silver and jewelry we robbed in Nanjing, although they were placed in the owner of Chen Zhuang, but I still don't feel at ease, as the saying goes, white wine red face, gold touches people's hearts, I am afraid that something will happen.

He confessed: You two must go to see more in the future, in case something happens, just live there with your family. In the future, this treasure can be used for a comeback.

He solemnly confessed twice, for fear that the two would not take it to heart.

After drinking all the wine in a jar, the three of them were so drunk that they lay down in front of Li Zicheng's grave and fell asleep for a while.

The next day, the birds chirped overhead, and Yang Shucheng woke up, shook his head, and had a headache.

He had never been so drunk, and when he turned around, Bai Yuyao was still lying at his feet, and shouted:

"White brother, white brother ......"

Bai Yuyao moved, and then he woke up, and he sat up.

There was no longer Li Xing beside him.

Yang Shucheng thought to himself, his life's ambition was in vain, and now he might go elsewhere for a walk.

"General Li ......" Suddenly, Bai Yuyao screamed, inexplicably panicked.

Yang Shucheng followed his surprised gaze, and saw that in front of the grave, in the grass, General Li Xing was lying beside him.

Bai Yuyao's several screams didn't wake him up, he was too drunk.

The two stood up and came to Li Xing, only to see that there was blood flowing out of his neck, staining the grass red, and it had already coagulated.

"General Lee......"

The two of them cried out in pain.

Li Xing lay motionless on his side.

Could it be that everyone was too drunk and was attacked by the enemy?

The two were busy checking the injuries, and the sword wound on Li Xing's neck was obviously not injured by the enemy, but he killed himself.

Why is that?!

The two of them couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl.

But the pine waves were gusting, the water was whimpering, and no one could answer their questions.

Bai Yuyao said in a dumb voice: "General Li is unrewarded for his ambition and died of discouragement. ”

Yang Shucheng said: "He followed Li Zicheng, obeyed his words, he thought he was the master, and now Li Zicheng is also dead, he is at a loss, and follows Li Zicheng from the ground." ”

People can't be resurrected after death, and although the two of them griev, they are helpless.

Yang Shucheng thought that Li Xing saved himself from danger twice, and in his mind, he not only regarded him as a benefactor, but also regarded him as a reliable brother.

Now, Li Xing has killed himself, and Yang Shu is grieving as if he had died of a relative.

Both of them admired Li Xing very much, and their tears were cloudy, making their tears flow silently.

The sun rose high, Bai Yuyao said:

"Let's bury General Li, just bury it in front of Li Zicheng's grave, so that they can stay with each other for a long time after death."

Yang Shucheng nodded, there was no coffin at this time, and the two of them performed light skills and ran towards the outside of the mountain.

Chasing the wind and electricity along the way, I soon came to a market town outside the mountain, which is a small town, and there is actually a coffin shop, and there are actually a few coffins in it.

It turned out to be troubled times, and people often died, so the business of the coffin shop was particularly good, and the owner of the coffin shop was planning to open a branch.

The two of them took out the money and bought the best coffin in town.

Two men were hired to carry the coffin to the cart, and the two guys pulled the cart and came towards the Jiashan Temple of Jiugong Mountain.
