Ye Yu lifted off the table in front of the general, and the plum branches on the table also fell to the ground, he hadn't been so angry for a long time: "Did you do it?"

He didn't ask what it was, but the general, whose face was as heavy as water, replied coldly: "I did it." ”

Ye Yu said: "Why?"

The general said: "If you and Mr. Yan are gone, it will be difficult for King Wei to kill." ”

Ye Yu said: "Where did you hide her?"

The general said: "After the Double Ninth Festival, kill King Wei, and I will tell you." ”

Ye Yu put the knife on the table, and his eyes seemed to be out of the sheath: "I want you to tell me now." ”

"If you don't say it, you want to kill me?" The general squinted at his knife: "You'd better not do that, if I die, you won't be able to find Mr. Yan again." ”

Ye Yu was stunned, and in an instant, the warmth of a ten-year reunion instantly turned into the pain of parting.

The general said: "Since I have already done this, then it means that I have considered it very thoroughly, you can rest assured, Mr. Yan is safe now, I have asked someone to take her out of here for hundreds of miles, you can't find it." As long as we cooperate well, after killing the old thief, you can be reunited. ”

Ye Yu snorted coldly: "What if I don't cooperate?"

The general said: "If you don't care about Mr. Yan's life or death, you can not cooperate." ”

After Ye Yu was shocked for a moment, the sword light flashed like lightning, and it stopped firmly on the general's neck, he hadn't been so angry for many years, and he hadn't spoken so loudly for many years: "If you dare to move a finger of her, I won't miss the old love and ask for your life." ”

"I won't even touch a hair of her, as long as you hide in the dark room on the day of the Double Ninth Festival. The general said leisurely: "Don't worry, I will let people eat and drink well to serve Mr. Yan, and I won't let her suffer, so that she can make medicine with peace of mind." ”

Ye Yu said: "She won't agree." ”

The general said, "Mr. Yan will agree, because I told her that if you refuse, you will die." ”

A burst of angry blood rushed to his head, Ye Yu was speechless in surprise, a mouthful of pus and blood instantly coughed out of his mouth, bent down and kept coughing.

This also seems to be the worst cough he has had in ten years, he can't breathe when he coughs, his muscles burst out when he coughs, and he squeezes out two words from his mouth: "Villain!"

For what happened in the next few days, Ye Yu's memory only kept coughing, coughing until dawn, coughing and unable to sleep.

A few days later, the general comforted Ye Yu: "The person I sent to settle Mr. Yan came back, and brought back two packets of medicine to you, saying that it was to cure your cough." ”

Ye Yu took the medicine he handed over and said coldly: "I really didn't expect you to be such a ruthless person. ”

"Brother Ye, there's nothing ruthless or ruthless. The general took out another bag of things from his body and sighed: "This is also brought back together, Mr. Yan has already prepared the drug." ”

"A doctor who heals diseases and saves people, a Buddha, an immortal?" the general sighed again and said, "It's bullshit to say that you don't want to harm people." ”

Ye Yu was silent.

The general continued: "You are the same, it is bullshit to say that you have let go of yourself, and that you do not want to kill anymore. ”

"Kill King Wei, you and I are strangers. After Ye Yu left this sentence for the general, the look in his eyes had already severed his past from the other party.

The general saw it, but he didn't care.

In the end, Ye Yu asked, "Is it true that King Wei is dead, and you will return her to me safe and sound." ”

The general solemnly patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely: "I promise you, as long as the matter is done, I will return her to you unscathed." ”

This is the most sincere sentence Ye Yu has ever heard him say since he met him, although he is vicious and despicable, the promise at this moment is also convincing, just like the general's shining eyes.

In the next few days, Ye Yu no longer saw the general, he locked himself in the small medical hall, and used the whetstone of the scissors in the medical hall to carefully sharpen his Xu knife.

This knife, which seemed to be old and somewhat rusty, rubbed back and forth on the grinding stone for a few days, and then glowed with the cold light of the past, and became a dragon-slaying knife.

is like a ruler, in this dark corner, measuring the life of an emperor thousands of miles away.

He couldn't help coughing up thick blood again and again, and the smell of fish was stained here, of course the general couldn't see all this, as if Ye Yu couldn't see the general these days.

The general first tried Mr. Yan's medicine with a few dogs, and then tried the medicine himself, as long as he put a small amount in the wine and food, he couldn't drink a few cups, couldn't eat a few bites, and used a few sticks of incense, people would immediately feel paralyzed and unable to move.

He was satisfied, the biggest stone in his heart was down, and he smiled relaxed for the past few days, both before and after leaving the brothel.

The brothel was an elegant place for a literati doctor, and the ladies and gentlemen were not welcome, and if it weren't for the fact that he was a general and he spent enough money, the women there would still look down on him.

The general doesn't care about spending money, let alone other people's opinions, the day of revenge is getting closer and closer, he needs catharsis, he needs to be satisfied, he needs to redeem those joys that have slipped away quietly in life.

He tasted many women that men had never tried in their lives, they were beautiful, noble, or shy, and in the end, he couldn't figure out what kind of woman he liked.

He doesn't care, he just needs catharsis, he just needs to get some kind of unique soothing to calm himself down before doing the most important thing in his life.

It wasn't until a few evenings before the Double Ninth Festival that the general and Ye Yu met again.

That night, there was a cold drizzle in the sky, covered with the whiteness of the moonlight, and it swayed on every tile in the border city.

The meeting place is in the General's Mansion, right next to the dark room of the unicorn.

The general took out a jade bell from his sleeve and asked, "Do you still recognize this object?"

Ye Yu nodded and said, "This is Brother Tang's horse bell back then." ”

"This thing has been with me for a long time, and the horse has died in battle, and only this bell remains. The general said: "On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, I will observe them, and when they are indeed poisoned, when the time is ripe, I will ring this bell, and you will do it immediately." ”

The jade bell was crisp and pleasant, and it could be heard very clearly through the secret door, and he had tried it many times himself.

Ye Yu said lightly: "Back then, Fan Zeng signaled King Xiang to kill Peigong, and he also used jade as the number, which was a good Hongmen banquet. ”

The general smiled: "So you know. ”

Ye Yu said: "I have read some military books. ”

In order to test whether Ye Yu's knife was fast enough, the general prepared a scarecrow and sat on the throne.

Ye Yu hid in the dark room.

The general under the seat, with his hands hidden in his sleeves, shook it slightly, and a crisp jade bell sounded.

As soon as the bell rang, the secret door behind the throne suddenly opened, a figure bounced, and the knife in Ye Yu's hand was lined with candlelight, only flashing slightly, and the scarecrow's head fell as gently as the knife light, silently.

The grass didn't fly very far, and when the blade slashed through the scarecrow's neck, it was so light that there was almost no sound.

The general couldn't help but clap his hands and praise: "What a fast knife, I originally wanted to soak this straw man in water and let you try it, because that would be more like human flesh and skin, but think about it, I still use this straw man that is not soaked in water to let you try, so that it shows Brother Ye's ability." Sure enough, you are not mistaken, this matter is really not difficult to do. ”

Ye Yu said: "Thorn King, is it really that simple?"

The general suddenly became more serious, and he said in an open tone: "Look at this huge general's mansion, look at the gold and silver treasures piled up in my treasury, look at the good wine hidden in my wine cellar, look at my food and clothing, have you ever wondered why I am so rich?"

Ye Yu said: "Why?"

The general said: "This is all a reward that I took the initiative to ask for from King Wei, in order to tell him that I am a wasted person, I have no ambitions, and I have made military achievements only for pleasure, as long as I continue to reward me with gold, silver and jewelry, I have no ambitions, so that he feels that I am a dog who forgets Tang Jianli and only knows how to shake his head and tail in front of him." ”

Ye Yu sneered: "You are not a good dog. ”

The general said: "After I succeed, I will immediately tell you where Mr. Yan is in one sentence, you go through the back door of the lobby, the soldiers guarding there have not yet figured out the situation, you can easily get out." As for me, you don't have to worry about it. Actually, even I don't know if I can get out, I don't care, you definitely don't care. None of this matters, it's the head of the thief that counts. ”

Ye Yu said: "It's very risky to do this, you can ambush a group of sword and axe men here, so it's easier to get it." ”

"It's useless, King Wei is very cautious, before he enters the mansion, he will send his own guards to come in and clear the field, except for a few servants, idle people and others will be cleared out, and there will be no ambush at all. The general sighed and said, "Even the kitchen will send people to keep an eye on it, and every dish must be tested for poison, and it is not easy for Mr. Yan to prepare colorless and tasteless sweat medicine, and ordinary sweat medicine will be discovered immediately, not to mention highly toxic." ”

Ye Yu said: "Since she has already made medicine, then you can tell me where she is now, you can rest assured, because even if I know, I don't dare to go, you can threaten me, as long as I walk on the front foot, you will let people kill her on the back foot." ”

The general sighed and said, "Brother Ye, I have thought so too, but what if the speed of my order is not as fast as you?" Besides, you don't have to go in person, find a friend, or you can go and do this errand for you." ”

Ye Yu said lightly: "I have no friends. ”

The general said: "We haven't seen each other for ten years, I don't know if you really don't have friends, just in case, it's better not to let you know, right?"

Ye Yu snorted coldly and said, "At the beginning, I still had a little impulse to take revenge, but now it has completely become a transaction. ”

The general waved his sleeves and said: "It's okay, you want a woman to live, I want a man to die, everyone just takes what they need, Brother Ye doesn't say it's a deal, it doesn't matter, then let's do the deal to the end." The woman you want, she is alive and well now, but do you need to practice your murderous skills more skillfully?"

After speaking, he pointed to the corner, Ye Yu looked along his hand, only to find that there were dozens of scarecrows piled up in the corner of the lobby that had already been made. Lifeless dummies, lined with flickering candlelight, revealing uncomfortable weirdness.

Ye Yu said: "Even if you don't say it, I will practice more." ”

During the Double Ninth Festival, the chrysanthemums are blooming.

Before dawn, the general burned incense, bathed, put on armor, and went out of the city fifty miles to greet him, which is the respect that King Wei should enjoy.

Two hundred horsemen followed the general from the south gate, and the people of the city were ordered to gather at the gate to welcome the king.

The sun had not yet come out, and the armor on his body was shining golden with the morning light, and if it hadn't been for the arrival of King Wei today, the people in the city would have even mistaken him for the king of the world.

He is just a tiny speck of dust among all beings, and even the two hundred most elite cavalry are just raindrops falling into the river.

The first thing the general saw was the pioneer of the troops led by King Wei, which were three black horses, the soldiers on the horses were brave and mighty, and on the big banner erected by the middle horse, the gilded characters "Wei".

Seeing the large army, the general and the two hundred cavalry turned over and dismounted as a sign of respect.

This army has more than 200,000 people, and there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry, and the black pressure is like a dragon without a tail, and the dust raised is enough to submerge the 200 cavalry into the loess.

The leader of the beggar gang walked in front of the team, and after ten years of conquest, he changed from a beggar leader to a general, and also let the beggars' call flowers wear new clothes, and the knives and guns replaced the original begging bamboo sticks.

Ten years have passed, and the gang leader no longer has hunger in his eyes, and his body is much stronger than before, and sometimes he feels younger than ten years ago, younger than the colt that rode alongside him.

When he was established, he was the youngest governor of the Metropolitan since the founding of the country. Heroic and sassy, with a saber given by King Wei around his waist, just looking at his handsome appearance, he can't imagine that this beautiful man is a beast who whips a woman with a whip at night, and he is a colt who kicked the princess out of bed after venting, and he didn't dare to imagine that he was the second son of the old village owner.

Since the death of the old village owner ten years ago, the reason why he did not inherit the people and wealth left to him by his father is because King Wei can not only give him the official seal of the Grand Governor, but also give him a beautiful princess and a delicate saber.

The price of obtaining these is so light, just burning the hill of Heimiao Village and letting the brothers fill the army, what a good deal. After two years on the battlefield, only half of the brothers had died, and the young colt felt that this was the best deal of his life.

Especially when he had ravaged the princess and the next day he drank wine and showed off the princess's delicacies, he felt that he was a very majestic colt, and that all this was only at the expense of half of his brothers, and he always smiled with satisfaction.

Of course, the anguished princess could not understand all this, and she knelt in front of King Wei several times and begged bitterly, and told her father with tears in her eyes that the brute would not let go of herself during her menstruation, and even took off her clothes to show King Wei the wounds on her body.

The princess with more than a dozen sisters can't understand her father, just as King Wei can't understand the princess, obviously as long as she sacrifices one of her daughters, she can make Heimiaozhai die for herself, such a good deal, how can this unfilial daughter not understand the hard work of being a father?

King Wei does not take his daughters to find short-sightedness, he has more than a dozen daughters, and he can give another one to the horse at any time, he wants to let this young man be a horse forever, and always work for the country.

All these sacrifices and transactions were made to defeat Xu Guo, even the Shaolin abbot who walked behind the gang leader and the governor.

Ten years have made the abbot much older, his back is hunched, and his long beard is no longer blue. From the moment he left the Shaolin Temple with dozens of monks, he was no longer an abbot, just an old and toned monk.

He used his own way to purify sentient beings, and before each expedition, he led the monks to chant the Buddha and bless the soldiers to return safely. After each prayer, the old monk would take the monks to rearrange the ritual and begin the ritual of transcending the souls, because he knew that many people would not return.

Even though this troubled world kills sentient beings like a mustard, even though this troubled world makes the monks who follow him fewer and fewer day by day, even though he watches the people around him do dirty deals, the old monk still maintains a compassionate heart, abides by every precept of the monks, marches on foot, endures hunger, tastes the suffering of the world, and merges with the suffering of all sentient beings.

The old monk has lived for himself, and these ten years have been a long ascetic for him, and for the head of Huashan, it is also the most arduous practice in his life.

In order to cultivate the Tao, the head of the sect reluctantly broke the precepts that he originally abided by, and he began to drink, eat meat, ride horses, and change out of Taoist robes, all in order to better march and fight, in order not to drag others down.

As long as you keep the mountains and rivers of the country, what is your own small precept, and what is the title of military advisor given by King Wei.

His sword was killed from the rivers and lakes to Huashan, from Huashan to the battlefield, from the battlefield to the handsome tent, and now he has not killed anyone for several years, because King Wei told him that he is a rare wise man, and he should strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

So, he took over the seal of the military advisor, never left the side of King Wei, gave him advice, shared worries and doubts, if it wasn't for the bun on his head that was the Taoist Fantian seal, he would have been unable to see that the military advisor was a Taoist.

This time, the king of Wei drove the expedition in person, broke the city to kill the enemy, arranged the troops, and every important strategy was planned by the military division himself, no matter how big or small, he worked hard and did not ask for anything in return.

Now that he was in this city, the herald told him that the general would go out of the city with 200 cavalry to greet him, and he also went to the side of the king of Wei to report it personally.

If these 200,000 horses are a long dragon, then King Wei is the flickering dragon's eye, and his brilliance gives this dragon a vigorous spirit, so that this hungry dragon is ready to devour all enemies at any time.

The armor on the body of the king was surrounded by dragon patterns, and each dragon posed in a different pose, or opened its teeth and claws, or called for wind and rain, all of which were fierce and abnormal. This is the only armor with a dragon pattern in the country, and the dragon ornament is not taboo in the army, but the soldiers are more willing to use the dragon as the exclusive ornament of the king to show respect.

The dragon in the armor is facing the rising sun, young and energetic, just like the bearing of King Wei, although his face has begun to age, but he knows that as long as he can still ride on a horse, break through one city after another, and expand the territory for the motherland, he will always be young.

The white horse under the crotch of the king is a unique breed of Weiguo, good at charging, great strength, in order to share the weal and woe with the soldiers, the saddle is not very luxurious, the only difference is that this horse has a silk cloth pocket, embroidered with gold thread with a closed-eyed dragon head, but the dragon body and tail are not seen.

This gorgeous pocket was prepared for King Xu by ordering craftsmen to rush to prepare for King Xu before King Wei set out on the expedition, and he wanted to personally cut off King Xu's head and put it in this pocket.

When the autumn wind blew this pocket, the general's figure came into the sight of King Wei, as well as the two hundred soldiers who knelt on the ground behind him to take over.

"The last general awaits the arrival of the king. ”

King Wei raised his hand without saying a word, and the military advisor beside him gestured and said, "The general has worked hard, get up." ”

After watching him get up from the ground, King Wei, who was several feet away, glanced at him, and gave all the respect he gave to the general who guarded the border city.

The dust flew, through everyone's armor, blowing the red tassels of the spear.
