1、

The torrent of history will eventually annihilate everything in this world, no matter how powerful you are in this world, in the end it will only be a piece of loess, in a corner of time and space, forgotten.

I'm not afraid of being forgotten, because a little person like me can only be regarded as a visit once in the torrent of history. The torrent can't remember me, but I remember myself, remember an earth-shattering event I once did, and that great event completely changed the course of my life.

It was a dark and windy night, and that night, I was desperately trying to do a great thing, and I was preparing for the great thing I was going to do by candlelight, and my face was flushed with excitement, and I saw in the bronze mirror my eyes like copper bells, shining with a light that was more striking than the bronze mirror. The light reflected by the bronze mirror, bright and soft, such a night, such a moment, there should be no more light except for my room.

I set the time in the wee hours of the morning because this is the time when people sleep the heaviest, which will undoubtedly increase my chances of success. The moon is on the horizon, telling me it's midnight, so I have plenty of time to take it easy.

I put on a black tight-fitting suit to make it easier to move, so I put a pair of black boots on my feet and wrapped them in a black cloth around my knees. Then I tried to wrap a black cloth around my face, leaving only a pair of big bony eyes. Then I made a grimace in the mirror, and although the mirror was blurry and not particularly clear, I could clearly see the big eyes in the mirror shining in the light.

Then, slowly, I removed the black cloth that had gathered around my face, carefully put it in my jacket pocket, took out my carving knife, and sat down at a shabby square table, lost in thought.

You must ask: what kind of big thing are you going to do, and you are in the mood to dress up so slowly and methodically, and still look in the mirror vigorously? Why am I not in the mood, I am in a good mood, because whether I succeed or not, my beauty will know. I want to tell her in such a tragic way that I can give anything, even my life, for her. What excites me even more is that it is likely that I will go down in history or be remembered for thousands of years because of her. Heroes have been praised in all dynasties, after all, who doesn't like beautiful women in this world?

What's more, I'm just a small people, as we all know, small people often do anything to become famous, not to mention, I have another reason that can make people sigh, and that reason is already familiar to you, that is, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass. Of course, I would have preferred the assassination to be a successful assassination and that I would be a hero of fame rather than a sympathetic clown who was dismembered for the sake of beauty.

But that night I was very unlucky, as you know, and the end of that night was: I failed to assassinate the general, and I was arrested.

You may not believe it when you say it, but the person I assassinated was the general of the Yue Kingdom at that time - Fan Li.

Here's how it happened......

That night, the sky was full of stars, and the first quarter moon was already faintly and darkly far away in the depths of the mountains and rivers, where it was more distant than the stars and the moon. On nights like this, sweet dreams always come as scheduled, and it makes everyone who is physically and mentally tired infinitely relaxed and comfortable.

The candles fluttered in the wind, and the dim light and shadow seemed to flutter as well. I crouched down and crept close to the general's bed, and as soon as the sword was unsheathed, I saw a flash of cold light, followed by a "bang", and he had knocked down my sword......

"There's an assassin!" exclaimed from downstairs with flying wings, and at the same time, the sound of chaotic footsteps crackled from downstairs to upstairs. Adjutant General Li Fei stood in front of Fan Li's bedroom door with his sword, and asked nervously and cautiously, "How is the general?"

Unexpectedly, Fan Li was behind the door, but he startled them, "Stretch out the torch." ”

The moment the torches illuminated the General's room, everyone was stunned, and the General sat on one leg on the Assassin's shoulder, his hands clasped behind his back, and he lay on the ground, dying unconvinced, whimpering with a whimper.

The general let go of his hand, stood up straight, took the torch from the soldier's hand, and held it up in front of the assassin who was quickly getting up from the ground to take a photo, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Lin Yinan, why are you?"

"Why can't it be me, are you kind to me?"

"Can you kill me?"

Lin Yinan replied to him angrily, looking like he was going to die with dignity and generosity, "So what, I don't plan to go back alive anyway." Xi Shi is my sister, I don't want her to go to serve King Wu, but she said that even if it is for the general, she has to go, if the general dies, who will she go to Wu for. ”

"Do you think she can't go if she doesn't want to?" Fan Li frowned angrily and waved his hand to let the soldier let go of him, "It's really stupid." Now even princesses have to marry foreign princes or monarchs for the sake of the country to achieve peace, let alone ordinary people like you?"

"......" Lin Yinan was speechless, and looked at all the officers and soldiers present angrily, looking unruly and unruly if you want to kill or chop as you like.

Fan Li saw that his hands were still clasped by the soldiers, and waved his hand again, "Let him go and let him go back." ”

Li Fei sighed and asked incredulously, "Does the general mean to let him go and not pursue him?"

"Yes. Fan Li replied briefly, and then said to Lin Yinan, "Remember: don't tell anyone what happened tonight, otherwise, you will have to worry about your life." ”

Lin Yinan obviously didn't believe it, "The general really let me go?"

Fan Li raised his eyes to look at him, and frowned again impatiently, "Do you want me to punish you?" Seeing him standing there stunned and not daring to move, "You still don't want to leave?" Assassinate the general, do you know what kind of punishment you will get?"

"Five horses split their bodies. The fast-mouthed foreman standing next to Lin Yinan said. Lin Yinan gave him a blank look, obviously he also knew what kind of heavy punishment he would face if he was seriously investigated.

"Your sister went to Wu for the country, this is the duty of a Yue countryman, and you ......" Fan Li looked at him thoughtfully, "Lin Yinan, you are a man of blood, and you also know martial arts and have good kung fu, you should think about how to contribute to the country, instead of being so childish and assassinating General Ben for your own selfishness." How could you have assassinated General Ben, and if so, wouldn't I have died sooner?"

"It turns out that I was not the first person to assassinate a general. Lin Yinan cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

"It's really a frog at the bottom of the well, and he whimsically wants to assassinate the general, think about our Yue country, how many people are the general's opponents?" Li Fei glanced at him unconvinced, "You go quickly, what are you still rambling here." ”

Lin Yinan picked up the sword that was knocked to the ground by the general, made a gesture, and put the black cloth that was removed by the general around his face, "General Xie will repay him for his kindness if he doesn't kill." As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped out of an open window, moving so fast that the soldiers were stunned.

The general did not ask who had ordered him to come, but let him go. Li Fei whispered, "I think you should punish him." ”

"Look at his face, he is childish like a child, and he should be less than 18 years old. He just relied on his fist to embroider his legs, loved his sister earnestly, and was just impulsive, and he really didn't want to kill me, as soon as he entered the door, I hid under the bed, he pointed the knife at my pillow, and just asked me to Xi Shi, and did not intend to kill me. With his little three-legged cat kung fu, how can he kill me?"

"But ......" Li Fei was about to say something, but Fan Li interrupted him, "Don't say more, if I were Xi Shi's brother, I would do the same, although this is a stupid act." When it comes to the depths of love, people will lose the ability to make correct judgments, which is also human nature. ”

......

The whole thing seems to be dramatic, and you'll think I'm lying or I'm a fool. First of all, I have to tell you, I'm not lying, and you don't think I'm a fool, I'm just a lovesick or nymphomaniac at best. Of course, a man, when he is drunk and obsessively in love with a woman, it is said that his IQ is at risk of zero. But now, I'm neither a lovesick nor a nymphomaniac, my IQ is at its peak, I've thought of everything, I've left a letter to my beloved beauty, yes, I'm going to let her know how much I love her, and so many secrets she doesn't know. (Forgive my young ignorance, I don't know what love is.) Later, I learned that it was not love but righteousness or a choice made for the sake of my family. )

Because there was no ink, I had to use a knife to engrave the letter. The letter was soon engraved, and with a few bold words, I pressed a stone against the lettering, and I thought that she would surely see a change on the square table and see my letter to her. Of course, the secret she didn't know was not in the letter, and I had already put it in another place. That place, known only to her, was in a hole under the bed, which Shih Tzu and I had dug a long time ago, and that was where we stored our coins. Really, I forgot to tell you that I was a little embarrassed to be poor, and there was only an old square table and a wooden bed in the huge room, and what was worse was that there were no bamboo slips for engraving, so the letter could only be engraved on the table top. Yes, I am a declining aristocrat, and this house, because it is too big, no one can afford it for a while, so it is still the only private property of my son.

With nothing to do after the letter was engraved, I sat at the head of my bed and wondered what my success rate was, and if I failed, what could I do to minimize my losses. Of course, the losses I can reduce are: I can't be hacked by the other party without saying a word, I want to state my position, and, finally, I want to meet my beauty. Before seeing her, I would tidy up my clothes, I would open the eyes that she had accidentally complimented, and I would look at her so steadily, and then, whatever they would do with my life, I would show my manliness without fear, and I would show my manliness without fear, and I would have to be blood-spattered on the spot, so that I could die worthy of my blood.

In the end, even I didn't expect that I would go home unharmed, and my blood was still bubbling in my small veins, not all over the land of China as I imagined......
