Chapter 24 In life, there are rivers and lakes everywhere
The convoy drifted away, lost in the darkness.
Xue Meng was still intoxicated by that charming demeanor. In addition to the gods and Buddhas in the sky and the stone statues of the temple, who ordinary mortals can resist the vitality of a young girl's youth, let alone an energetic young man.
His eyes were still fixed on the direction of the carriage's departure, wanting to see through the darkness the beauty of the curtain had come to an end.
"Brother, that little girl is so beautiful! It's a pity that there is no way to get acquainted!"
Beauty, if you are lucky enough to get acquainted, say a few words to her, be her friend, and occasionally look at her smile, it must also be a joy in life.
It's a pity that the beauty is gone, and goodbye is far away.
Xue Buyu sighed, and his mood was a little lost with the girl's departure!
However, he is an open-minded man.
Even though he is the same age as his brother, he is still an older brother.
The word elder brother not only refers to age, but also represents responsibility, so people often say that eldest brother is like father.
At this moment, he didn't want to bear the word brother, so he made a joke, wanting to use the joke to dilute the influence of women on his mind.
"No! This is the prettiest woman I've ever seen! As soon as she appeared, I felt like my heart was about to stop! Would you be satisfied with such a girl being your sister-in-law?"
Xue Meng smiled and said, "Brother, no matter how beautiful this girl is, she is just a girl."
Brother, you are a rare beautiful man in the world, only a woman with a more noble status can match, that little girl just now will be your brother and sister!"
"Hey, it's not right for you to say that, all beings are equal, what's the difference between young ladies and girls?
Those classes that are just set by the evil society are all raised by their mothers and fathers, except for their background, who is more noble than whom?
But when it comes to origin, are princes and nobles really nobler than ordinary people?
I have seen the aristocracy's families hoard surplus grain, and would rather take a little bit of it out to help others;
I've also seen a beggar divide half of the steamed bun he had worked so hard to get and hand it to a mother with a child.
Do you think that nobleman is noble, or that beggar is noble?"
Xue Meng pondered for a moment, smiled, and did not answer directly, but said, "They are all pitiful.
One is blinded by wealth, and the other is not even rich, so he can only ask for other people's scraps. ”
Then he seemed to remember something, and a pair of eyes came alive on his dull face.
"What does this have to do with that girl?"
Bu frowned and patted his head, feeling that what he had just said was completely wasted.
"Don't let the bad ideas of the world fill your mind, there is no distinction between high and low, the girl just now is as noble as the princess of the empire, even if she is only a maid, she is also noble.
However, although there is no distinction between high and low, there is a distinction between young and old. So, it's better for my brother to find you a sister-in-law first!"
After going around for a long time, Xue Meng finally knew what the hell his brother had in his heart.
"After talking for a long time, don't you just want to strike first?
You have said that all beings are equal, so you and I are equally equal.
So, the starting point of the two of us is the same! It depends on which of the two of us gets the favor of the beautiful woman!"
Xue Meng was unconvinced, and then said: "Otherwise, let's compare, whoever wins this girl will be who?"
Xue Buyu pinched his fingers and smiled evilly: "It's exactly what I want!"
After that, a gesture was lit, and the two of them used their magic powers in the night, and the two pairs of punches flew up and down, and all kinds of actions emerged in an endless stream, full of tricks.
After a while, the two of them suddenly felt bored, whether the girl could see each other in the future or not, not to mention that the two of them were determined to cultivate the Tao and achieve positive results, and the love between men and women still depended on fate.
"Xiao Meng, let's go, I still have urgent matters on my body, it's important to hurry!"
"Oh, that's annoying! That girl doesn't necessarily like me!"
"Don't make a fuss, we have to go back to the mountain to ask the Lord, have you forgotten the beating you received a few days ago?"
When he mentioned this incident, Xue Meng was even more angry, and he originally wanted to behave well, subdue demons and eliminate demons, support justice, save Xiaofu, and save a family that was about to be separated.
I didn't know that Xiaofu didn't see it, he was beaten half to death by a monkey, this breath is unbearable!
Thinking of these, all the girls and beauties were left behind by Xue Meng.
A wave of anger rushed to his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother, let's go, speed back to the mountain, I must get back this big loss." ”
Although Xue Buyu and Xue Meng are cultivators, they have not officially stepped into the ranks of cultivators yet, at most they are hanging outside the door.
Both of them are young men with strong blood, and their pursuit of beauty is no different from usual, although their self-control is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but they have not yet passed the level of color characters.
At this time, there is more curiosity about beautiful women than instinct, and when the mood calms down, the thoughts will be normal.
Thinking of the experience a few days ago, the two not only shuddered, if it weren't for the white-shirted man who appeared at the end, the two would have been exposed to the wilderness and reduced to the nourishment of the earth!
This experience not only woke up the two, but also deeply hit the restless heart.
Usually the cultivation is hard, but there are still loopholes, and the loopholes will become a hidden weapon that will lose your life, and you will be taken away from your life before you know it.
This time I went back to the mountain, not only to report this experience, but more importantly, to calm my heart, find a way to get rid of distracting thoughts, and devote myself to the Tao, although I still miss the white shadow under the moonlight in my heart.
The two of them moved silently along the road of the convoy, about ten miles or so, when suddenly there was a loud laugh at the corner of the mountain road in front of them.
"Generalissimo Ma, I didn't think you would have today!" followed by a burst of presumptuous laughter.
The Xue brothers glanced at each other, jumped up the cliff at a very fast speed, and landed on a raised boulder without a sound, looking ahead.
This is the team that left a few hours ago.
Hundreds of men in black suits and armed with long knives surrounded it, and there were corpses lying on the ground, with stumps and severed arms everywhere, and the thick smell of blood filled the air.
The men in black fell in great suits, but the heavily armored infantry suffered even more casualties, and only about twenty men of the sixty-man army stood around the only remaining wagon, guarding the crumbling line.
Two men dressed as servants held steel knives in their hands, clinging to the wheels of the carriage.
But they had obviously never seen such a bloody scene, their bodies were shaking, and one of them even retched.
Three of the five knights had been killed, several crossbow arrows stuck in their necks, their helmets rolled to the side, and they stared at the dark sky above with unwilling eyes.
The knight with the black tiger chest armor on his chest pressed the wound on his right leg tightly with his hand, and lay on the ground beside him, trying to stand up several times, but he was weak, and could only stare at the opposite side with hatred.
Although the leader of the horse had a few sharp arrows stuck in his body, he still stubbornly held his head high, one hand clenched the broad-backed machete, and the other hand was on the bent thigh and panting.
With a fierce look in his eyes, he stared fiercely at the person who was laughing wildly in the crowd in black.
The man laughed for a while, clapped his palms, and said proudly: "It's not a loss to the flying general Ma Yan who took the head of the enemy's general from the army, this courage, this skill, this strategy, is indeed admirable!"
If someone hadn't sold us your whereabouts and given us time to set up an ambush here, we might have let you run away!"
Then the conversation changed, "If you can let the pilot general personally escort you and leave so quietly, I think it must be the famous and powerful right minister Sima Sheng." ”
The horse leader shouted angrily and asked, "Well, you despicable villains, you dare to hunt down and kill the old prime minister, who gave you such courage?"
The situation on the field is already obvious, there are many people in black, and the difference between the strength and weakness of the two sides is huge, looking at the people who are difficult to fly, the leader in black can't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
A flying general and a former prime minister all fell into his own hands, and these two people are the most hated enemies of today's prime minister Yu Ye.
If you hold your head and offer it, it will be a promising future, a lot of money, and a step to the sky!
"Ahem", a coughing sound came from the carriage, and an old man slowly came out of it.
The simple clothes can't stop the momentum of the long-standing position, and the wrinkles on the face and the gray beard can't hide the eyes that see through the world and are calculating.
The old man was about fifty years old, and when he got out of the car, he pushed away the guards in front of him, not looking at the black-clothed men who were staring around.
He slowly walked to the horse leader's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Old friend, it seems that we are going to follow the emperor today!"
The horse leader looked at this old prime minister who had worked hard for the empire and the country for twenty-four years, not only the corners of his eyes were a little sour.
At this moment, the old man who is in his twilight years, but in the hands of the first emperor, he has changed the strength of the empire from weak to strong, the century-old virtuous minister in the mouth of the common people, and the mainstay of the entire imperial court.
It is a pity that after the death of the first emperor, he was helplessly caught in the whirlpool of seizing the heir, and was framed by the favored ministers of today.
Lost in disrepute, family ruined.
Nowadays, you can't survive as an ordinary person.
The heart is full of grief and indignation, the heart hates the sky and has no eyes, the villain in the court has gained the way, the loyal ministers are in exile, and the house is full of traitors.
He said bitterly: "Virtuous Minister, it is a humble honor to be able to go with you to see the first emperor!
After that, my eyes filled with tears, thinking of generations of my family who have served the country one after another, countless soldiers who have shed their blood for the country, and countless loyal people who have worked hard for the country, but now they have come to this end.
The entire country's thousands of years of struggle have become unrecognizable in just a few years, and the national strength has plummeted.
There is no longer the prestige of the previous one-word power between countries, and it has completely been reduced to a second-rate role.
At the thought of this, I was overwhelmed with grief, for myself, for the virtuous minister, and even more for this completely declining empire.
