Article 215 Blood for an oath

From Zeng Ji's mouth, they roughly understood Chen Xiao's person, his deeds, and his profound background, Xin Lingjun and Zhang Yu were very surprised. Such a huge force cannot only be dominated by the Chen family's forces, there must be a more powerful force behind it, and even Chen Xiao is likely to be nothing more than a puppet pushed to the fore by this force. The two restrained their desire to communicate with each other, hoping that Zhong Zeng Ji would find more information in his mouth.

At this time, Zeng Ji opened his mouth and said to Mr. Xiahou: "Mr. sits and does not leave the king's left and right, and he must be an ordinary person." Dare to ask who it is! ”

Xinling Jun was ashamed, bowed down and said: "This lonely sin is also." See Brother Zeng and forget his courtesy, brother don't sin! This Mr. Xiahou is a person who entered Wei with Meng Weijun, lives in the neighbor Xue Di, and Pei people are also. Meng Weijun passed away, and he had his help to keep around, hold the bridle, and welcome guests, all of which had his strength. ”

Zeng Ji bowed and said: "Zeng Mou would like to see Xiahou Young Servant!" ”

Mr. Xiahou moved to the side, turned sideways and saluted: "The ministers provide stables, not the ratio of Tengda temples." Don't dare to be a brother's gift! ”

Zeng Ji said: "The minister is also reckless, why do you want to be alone?" ”

Mr. Xiahou said: "Follow the ancestors, have no skills, and waste horses." Meng Xinjun added eyes, and he had to follow the left and right, and follow the work of dogs and horses. ”

Xinling Jun said: "Mr. is the emperor, and he cannot be replaced." I didn't have to work in the stables. Mr. said that the use of one day must be hidden in the work of a thousand days. Therefore, with the body of the emperor, he lives on the side of the stableman. ”

When Zeng Ji heard this, he was silent for a long time and said: "The virtue of a gentleman is a hundred times that of a minister!" ”

Mr. Xiahou said: "How can you say that? ”

Zeng Ji said: "The ministers are reckless, and they are ordered by the Lord; The gentleman lives in the stable, and the heart is content. This minister is not as good as Mr. Yi. The subordinate to the sword, although he thinks about it day and night, he especially can't get rid of the body; Mr. Yu Yu, self-deprecating and noble, working in the stable, and grass, lowly company, and comfortable. This minister is not as good as Mr. Er. Those who are subordinate to the lord are also servants, and their bodies are lowly; Mr. Yujun, Yuye, noble position. This minister is not as good as Mr. Sanya. In his elaboration, it is especially inferior; Only these three, the minister will bow down! When he finished speaking, he bowed to the ground.

Mr. Xiahou turned around slightly, bowed and saluted back: "This sincerity is of the same mind." Although the minister can't do it, he should still obey it and think it is a warning! "Oh, Mr. Xiahou said: "Since my father went to Qin from the ancestors, dare to die in Qin?" Your lord is planning for Qin, and there must be a discussion. ”

Zeng Ji said: "Although the lord entered Qin, the minister did not follow for a long time, and he was unaware. ”

Xin Lingjun comforted: "The Chen family is Qin Mou, not for a while, Mr. will get his favor." ”

Zeng Ji said: "Inherit the words of the king." Suddenly, the words changed and said: "The minister has a word, and the king listens to it!" ”

Xinling Jun said: "Mr. and say, a certain respect." ”

Zeng Ji said: "The minister was born in Chu, grew up in Xue, lost his father at a young age, and was less than a lesson." And long, more reckless, less in the temple, so the temple etiquette is more ignorant, and good recklessness. Today, I am kind to Mr. Zhu, and I am willing to form a brotherhood. Please! ”

Xinling Jun said: "Good words. Meng tastes in me, and my father is also obsessed; Mr. Xiahou and others were all left behind by the ancestors; Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xiahou are both obsessed with each other and are like-minded. In today's troubled times, we are sweeping away the chaos with all the heroes and enjoying the peace of the three worlds! ”

Uncle Tang said: "Good words! Then he turned around and went under the tree and whispered a few words to Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei understood, got up and left, and Uncle Tang appointed a Tang coachman to go with Lü Buwei.

Uncle Tang said: "We are in love with each other, and we should swear by blood, if we violate this alliance, heaven and earth will punish it!" ”

Uncle Tang's words were shocked. He himself is nothing, what kind of person is Xinling Jun, the younger brother of the prince of Wei, under one person, above ten thousand people, even if the princes will be allied, it is not an exaggeration to swear by blood, how can it be reckless, blood for an alliance? Just about to get up to stop him, although Xin Lingjun turned his back to him, he seemed to feel something, and took advantage of the darkness of the sky to quietly reach out and hold him.

Lü Buwei and the Tang coachman carried in a large urn, followed by Lü Bojie, carrying a rooster in his hand, obviously preparing to kill the dripping blood into the wine. The two placed the urn in the middle of the crowd, and Lu Bojie took the bronze sword from under the tree and prepared to behead the chicken—it seems that there were many people who swore blood in the Lu family's car shop, and he was very skilled in this set.

Zeng Ji stopped Lu Bojie and said: "Today, we are an alliance, not for one thing and one love, and we are willing to make lifelong friends." May it be fulfilled with a reckless oath. ”

Xinling Jun said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Zeng Ji said: "A reckless man, no poultry or livestock, the blood of the grass covers himself." When he went to the side of the tree, he did not make a gesture, easily pulled out the three-edged sword inserted in the tree, stretched out his left chest, and said: "The minister is willing to prick blood into the wine, from now on, life and death intersect, and there will never be two hearts!" Lü Buwei opened the head of the urn, and the blood dripped into the urn, and he tore a corner of his clothes, pressed the wound, stood tall, and said: "Chen Gu knows that this oath is very human, and he is willing to swear this oath to show his heart." ”

Zhang Yu took the bronze sword from Lu Bojie's hand, and also ripped open the placket, revealing his left chest, and said: "I am willing to be with my brother with my blood, and I will never have two hearts!" He drew his sword and slashed it, and blood gushed out and dripped into the urn. He also pulled the hem of his shirt to press the wound.

Uncle Tang took the iron sword from Zeng Ji's hand, and dripping blood into the urn with the same sword chest, and vowed: "Life and death intersect, there will never be two hearts." "Xin Lingjun's side, Mr. Xiahou wanted to step forward, Xin Lingjun grabbed it, took the bronze sword from Zhang Yu's hand, also took out his left chest, stabbed his chest with the sword, dripped blood into the urn, and vowed: "Life and death are together, there will never be two hearts." ”

Among the Tang clans, some people came out to collect blood, and some people retreated to the back in fear. In the face of this bloody scene, Mr. Xiahou seemed to have long been accustomed to it, skillfully slashing his left chest and swearing blood. Lu Buwei, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw that no one was stabbing blood with a sword, so he came out and said: "The boy is young, he has never been in the world, he forgets his body when he sees the righteousness of his father, and he admires it. ”

When everyone saw that a little child was about to come out and throw blood, they all looked at him, which meant "don't get involved with adult things, little children." Du Zeng Ji said: "Do you know what it means? ”

Lü Buwei said: "The blood of all people is in one place, and life is in one place, and from then on, there is no difference, all are one, life and death are together!" ”

Xinling Jun said: "Hurry up, there is no word for my brother!" ”

Zeng Ji also said: "Brother Lu's words are really fast!" Brother understands his righteousness and dares to practice it? ”

Lu Buwei said: "Stabbing the chest with a sword is a practice!" ”

Mr. Xiahou said: "Little brother Cheng is a young hero! "Hand the sword over.

Lu Buwei took the sword in his hand, opened his left chest, and his right hand trembled slightly. However, without hesitation, a sword stabbed straight into the chest, and its momentum was like the wind, and the entire tip of the sword pierced straight into the muscles. Everyone saw that Lu Buwei was bleeding from the chest for the first time, which was obviously different from the skilled movements of others, and it was completely brute force. Fortunately, he was young and weak, and his sword did not penetrate deeply, but he still entered the sword and did not come out of the blood. Lu Buwei gritted his teeth, drew his sword hard, and the blood spurted out, like a spring. Everyone stepped forward to save them, but Lü Buwei stopped them with a resolute face and let the blood flow into the urn; Weak and unable to pull the hem of his clothes, he pulled up the entire hem of his clothes, pressed the wound, and turned pale. Lu Bojie threw the chicken in his hand, hugged Lu Buwei, tore off a large piece of clothing by himself, and pressed it Lu Buwei's wound.

After a long time, under the oppression, everyone's blood stopped, and everyone threw away the blood-stained rags - it can be seen from the strips of cloth that some people's blood is not even covered with a single strip of cloth, and some are only a few spots. Only Lü Buwei barely stopped the bleeding after changing three pieces of cloth, and although several Tang coachmen did not prick blood, they also tore off the corners of their clothes and handed them to Lu Bojie.

Uncle Tang saw that everyone's blood had stopped, including Lu Buwei, so he picked up the clay bowl that had the original lid of the urn from the ground, stirred it in the urn, scooped out a bowl, and said loudly: "Blood flows in one place, life returns to one place, brothers from now on, life and death depend on each other!" He took a sip of blood wine and handed it to the left. Standing on the left happened to be Xinling Jun, who took the wine and said loudly: "Blood is one, life is one, life and death are one, honor and disgrace are also one!" ”

To his left, Mr. Xiahou and Zhang Xu, both of whom also took their oaths, and then rotated among several Tang coachmen who had been stabbed with blood. When he arrived at Lü Buwei, although his blood stopped, his chest was still blood-red, and he barely broke free from Lu Bojie's support, stood up, and said: "There is no difference between blood, and there is no distinction between life, life and death, support each other!" After a circle, the last turn was Zeng Ji, who was standing on Uncle Tang's right hand, holding the wine in his hand and vowing: "People have noble and low, blood is as red as blood, but there is life and death, regardless of each other!" He drank all the wine in the bowl, scooped the bloody wine from the urn, and said: "Now with all the brothers, each piercing the heart, the blood flows in one place, and life and death depend on each other." Brothers, but there is a drive, Zeng does not dare to resign! "Drink it all. handed the bowl back to Uncle Tang, and Uncle Tang scooped the wine in turn, swore an oath, and drank. After another round, the wine in the urn has bottomed out.

Lu Bojie said: "The brothers swear that this important event is also, and the younger brother is willing to sacrifice chickens and sheep to help him." ”

Xinling Jun said: "This is a chaotic time, everyone can't eat, or even starve, and it's not appropriate to have a big wine banquet." When the Qin people are wiped out, the younger brother will feast for three days to help the elder brother! Then he turned to Lü Buwei and said, "Brother Lü is bleeding too much, it is not suitable to work, I am afraid of relapse." Mr. Zhongyue in the camp is good at medicine, please look at it. ”

Lu Buwei said: "You have to be with the king's blood, and your life is one, fortunately, even if you die." ”

Xinling Jun praised: "My brother has rules and regulations, and he is also a scholar!" ”

Lu Bojie replied: "The Lu family is a prince, although he has lost the country, he still has to learn!" ”

Xinling Jun saluted: "It's a mowgli mistake!" ”

Lu Bojie said: "Although you can't eat meat, you'd rather not have a meal!" Wait in the kitchen! "The courtesy is leaving. Suddenly, I heard the horses' hooves outside the courtyard, and the sound of the car was rounding. Everyone's expressions changed. Regardless of blood loss and weakness, Lü Buwei hurriedly went out to observe. When he returned from a young time, he reported: "The military envoy in the battalion has come to report!" Xin Lingjun waited for Lu Buwei to go out, and he had already put his outfit in order, and when he heard the news, he said, "Lead to the front of the hall!" Then he said to Lu Bojie: "I wish to lead from the back house to the hall!" Lu Bojie understood, and led Xinlingjun and the other three out of the back door, went around to the back house, and returned to the front of the hall. Lü Buwei went out of the front door and led the army to wait in front of the steps.
