Chapter 127: Preparation (2nd Update)
Although Qin Ke spoke like angry words, Abu could feel his resoluteness. Perhaps in order to prove his resoluteness, Qin Ke bracked his hands and stood up grinning with his teeth bared when his muscles were sore.
Of course, the action of going down to the roof is naturally not as smooth as going to the roof at the beginning, when he just hit Gao Changgong, he had already beaten out the only remaining strength in his body, and now his legs are weak, trembling, and it is naturally impossible to jump down.
He first slowly lowered his two legs from the roof, and then supported the roof wood with his arms, and while climbing down with difficulty, his legs could not touch the ground, and his hands were weak and weak, and he fell down all at once.
Abu got up nervously, drilled his head out to look, Qin Ke rubbed his aching shoulders and stood up, and walked towards the outside of the village step by step.
"Ah ......" Abu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Gao Changgong a little anxiously, "Brother Changgong, Ah Ke really wants to leave." ”
Gao Changgong squinted his eyes and chuckled, "Do you want to run away again?"
Qin Ke's heart trembled, turned his head, and forced himself to say, "What am I running away from?" I just don't want to play with you anymore. ”
Gao Changgong shook his head, "I heard that you came to Jingwu to find out your master's whereabouts. But you've been in Jingwu for more than a month, and you haven't asked Wanling anything about your master, what are you afraid of?"
It was he who did not take the initiative to say. Qin Ke thought weakly, but the emptiness of his chest made him panic, he straightened his chest, and tried his best to make himself angry: "I'm not afraid." I just didn't have a chance to say that every time I entered the palace, I encountered a lot of things. "That's right, it's not that he doesn't dare to ask," he said to himself.
He recalled the previous days, and said with some grievances, "The first time I entered Jianye City, the ninth master died behind my back, before he died, he said let me go quickly, I couldn't save him, and then he was killed by the man in white." I fled to the oil shop at the address he had given, and it was full of corpses, the shopkeeper was dead, and the man was dead. I was almost killed by a blind man. I hid in the inn for several days, and I didn't dare to go out, those people were obviously dealing with you, what happened to me as a passerby......?
Qin Ke felt a flame rise from his stomach, burning all the way to his chest, and his lungs seemed to be filled with lava: "I don't want to kill people at all, I don't ...... at all Who can I talk to to reason? I haven't encountered anything good since I entered Jianye City! Why does it have to be me? Who have I offended? You want to find someone to go to the main hall to perform martial arts, what does it matter to me? I am not a student of the Taixue Academy, I am just living there temporarily. You want to gamble with this man's mother-in-law, why do you want to pull me and Abu, can't you close the door and fight by yourself?"
Far away, Mulan raised her eyebrows.
"I'm just a little common man...... Qin Ke's eyes turned red, "I don't want to get involved with you and those things with you Jing Wu, can't you?"
He suddenly clutched his chest and lowered his head and retched, the nausea of killing people all night finally welled up in his throat down his chest, but he couldn't spit out anything, only felt that his heart, liver and lungs were almost clenched by invisible hands.
Abu looked at Qin Ke with a gloomy expression, not knowing what to say. Indeed, Qin Ke is actually not from Jingwu at all, and if you say how deeply he intersects with himself, Gao Changgong, and Zhuge Wanling, it can't be said. was involved in such a treacherous situation. Thrown into such a Shura field this night, I'm afraid he is already on the verge of an outbreak, right?
Qin Ke retched for a while, only vomiting out some sour and bitter sour water, and his snot and tears were stuck together, which made people feel a little distressed inexplicably.
However, Gao Changgong didn't feel any pity at all when he looked at him, but said coldly: "You don't want to kill people, but if someone else wants to kill you, just like today, what are you going to do? Cry first and roll on the ground, and then others will let you go." You came to Jingwu to find out the news of your master, and then what did you do?
Gao Changgong stood on the roof, as if he was indifferently looking down on the beings below on a high mountain, but Qin Ke also subconsciously avoided his eyes, only feeling that the light inside was too sharp.
"You want to find your master. But you guessed that your master must be in a lot of trouble, and you are worried that even if you know your master's whereabouts, you will not be able to help him at all, right? ”
"Childish!" Gao Changgong shouted loudly, Qin Ke trembled suddenly, "Everything in this world has to be done with your own hands, and no one can do it for you." It's like you can only live this life by yourself, and no one can live for you. Even if a lie can comfort you for a while, you can't comfort yourself for a lifetime. You yourself understand this truth, otherwise why would you go all the way to Jingwu alone? If you want to find your master, you should have the determination to match it. Whether it's Wanling's matter or Jing Wu's matter, you can't even face such a thing, what else can you talk about saving your master?"
"Help?" Qin Ke looked up into Gao Changgong's eyes, "Do you know my master's whereabouts?"
Gao Changgong snorted and sneered: "That's what you should ask Wanling, and now the question is, are you ready?" ”
Qin Ke's expression was gloomy, and he lowered his head: "I ......"
He didn't know how to answer the question, or rather, he kept running away from it. It was only when the question hit him straight in the chest that he suddenly felt like there was nowhere to escape.
Jingwu is located in the south, not only is there abundant rain and dew, but also two large rivers like two meandering by, if you look at the map, like two thousands of miles long dragons, roaring from the treacherous snow-capped mountains at the end of the west, and heading towards the unknown sea of dome in the east.
When the Ji Dynasty was founded, Emperor Hongwu took a big boat down the trend, enjoyed this beautiful heaven-sent land, and felt that these two great rivers were prosperous.
Although this statement is a bit illusory, even if Qin Tianjian, who specialized in observing the heavens and distinguishing good fortune and evil for the royal family, never spoke to confirm Emperor Hongwu's whimsical speech, but after all, Emperor Hongwu's prestige was unprecedented, so naturally his words would not spread.
The Tang State's several conquests of Wu ended in failure, which may also have the effect of this sentence.
But whether there is really dragon energy, no one knows, but the land of Jingwu has always been a land for soldiers, and a large amount of food, iron, salt, gold and silver is needed to conquer the world.
A big ship jumped like a big fish on the river, the sails swelled like the lower belly of a woman who was pregnant for October, and the great strength and the impetus of the current, the speed of the whole ship could be described as wind and lightning.
Gao Changgong stood in the bow of the boat facing the wind, dressed in gray clothes hunting in the wind, his hair fluttering like waves. Although he was still dressed in a simple decoration, the free and easy on his body was like the wind that swept his ears, and he had no scruples.
In his hand was a silk letter, which had been sent to him from Jianye City, because the big boat was going down the river all the way, and the speed was so fast that the messenger wasted a lot of effort.
After carefully reading every word on the silk book, Gao Changgong raised his eyebrows, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect to be gambled by him." It is really surprising that Sun Zhong, an old fox, could make such a concession. In this way, it only takes some time for the situation to stabilize, and when the disaster situation in the lower reaches of the river is completely controlled, the matter can be regarded as over. ”
He thought for a moment, smiled and shook his head, "No, it should be said that a new page has been turned away." The vacancies vacated by the officials of the Shi clan always need someone to sit in, and when these positions are filled one by one, even if Jing Wu is still impossible to get rid of the constraints of the Shi clan, but after this battle, the power of the Shi clan will be greatly damaged, and it will no longer be easy to control the court, let alone the fortunes of the country. ”
