Chapter 8: Bloodshed (3)
Li Cunxiao: "Chen Gongzi is not used to fighting and marching, his body is extremely tired, he stopped halfway and has not yet arrived. ”
Li Ke showed a fierce light with his eyes, and said: "Such a capable person, you must not be left elsewhere, you must be used by me." If you can't use it, kill it as soon as possible. ”
Li Cunxiao was shocked, but he didn't dare to show it. "Yes!" and the retainers went to fetch him back. ”
Li Keyong pointed to Captain Zhang beside him, "You take a team of men and horses to escort General Li!"
In fact, Chen Xingwen was not sleepy and couldn't walk, but Li Cunxiao deliberately arranged it. Li Cunxiao knows Li Keyong very well as a person, and is worried that Chen Xingwen will lose his life because he disagrees with Yiyan, and he will also lose his trust. So he left him in the middle of the road first, so that he could maneuver.
In a farmer's household, Li Jiaojiao stayed with the Chen brothers.
Chen Xingwen saw Li Cunxiao and asked, "What does King Jin think?"
Li Cunxiao said guiltily: "King Jin still asks you for help." Brother Chen may wish to talk about any concerns. ”
Chen Xingwen: "To help King Jin, you will inevitably go on a killing spree." You and I both know that the King of Jin is cruel by nature, and if the flames of war are ignited, wherever he goes, he will inevitably slaughter countless cities, ten rooms and nine emptiness, and I will become a sinner through the ages. Therefore, even if I die, I will die with the gun, and I will never help it!"
Chen Xingwu interjected on the side: "Brother, don't be stupid. There is a good life, but if you go to die, you are sorry for yourself and your father. You are not married and have children, who will continue the incense of the Chen family in the future? You are really unfilial. ”
Chen Xingwen: "What I ask is worthy of the people of the world." ”
Chen Xingwu wanted to repeat the old trick. "If you don't go, I'll go with General Li. Are you going to leave your brother alone?"
His words made Li Jiaojiao really unbearable, and pulled out a sword across his neck. "You're a bummer. As long as you dare to go, I will kill you first, and then I will apologize to Brother Wen. ”
Li Cunxiao also said angrily: "If you dare to embarrass your brother, Li will not allow you to live in the world." ”
Chen Xingwu saw that he had angered Li Cunxiao, and his heart trembled, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
Li Cunxiao said again: "Brother Chen of Jinzhou can't stay anymore, how do you plan, you won't go to Liangguo, right?"
Chen Xingwen replied in a very affirmative tone: "Zhu Wen and Li Ke use a raccoon dog, I can't help him! I find a place in the mountains, live incognito, and live my people's life." ”
Li Cunxiao: "King Jin is very suspicious, Brother Chen should leave quickly if he wants to leave, this place is not suitable for a long time." ”
Captain Zhang, who came with him, stopped in front of Chen Xingwen. "General, this person can't go. After speaking, his subordinates all drew their swords and surrounded Li Cunxiao and the others.
Li Cunxiao said angrily: "How many of you can stop me?"
Captain Zhang: "I can't stop it, but the order of King Jin can't be violated." ”
Li Cunxiao: "Today, I can only disobey my father's order." Brothers, I'm sorry. As soon as he spoke, he broke Captain Zhang's neck, snatched his sword with his hand, swept it around, and several soldiers fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Chen Xingwen said: "I've been involved with the general. ”
Li Cunxiao: "I can't help but make this decision, just say that they were killed by the chasing Liang army." ”
Chen Xingwen: "How can this be concealed from King Jin?"
Li Cunxiao said awe-inspiringly: "The only person in the world who I admire is Brother Chen, even if I rebel against the King of Jin and lose my life, I will never lose my trust in you." Let's go!"
Li Jiaojiao walked up to Li Cunxiao: "Brother Thirteen, I will also go with Brother Wen." ”
Li Cunxiao nodded: "I wanted to go back and propose marriage to your mother, but now it seems that it can't be done." If you and I get married, it will not only affect you, but also your brother. I understand your intentions, give birth to a few more fat babies for the Chen family to continue the incense. ”
Li Jiaojiao cried: "Thirteenth brother, even if I don't marry you, I still treat you as the closest person." You have made outstanding achievements, and King Jin will not do anything to you. ”
Li Cunxiao: "The most difficult thing to figure out the heart of the emperor." Alas, don't say it, you guys go. ”
Chen Xingwen stopped Li Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao can't go with me, if King Jin knows that we are together, your family will be implicated." Besides, I am betrothed to Su Su, and I can neither bear her nor you. You and General Li are talented and beautiful, and they are a match made in heaven. You go back alone first, block Qianlifeng's mouth, and save your brother. ”
Li Cunxiao: "I'm just a reckless man, how can I compare with Brother Chen, Jiaojiao marrying Brother Chen is no more suitable." A man has three wives and four concubines, and no one bears anyone's responsibility. But what Brother Chen said is right, Jiaojiao, as long as your brother doesn't fall, it will be convenient to take care of Brother Chen. The love of children is long, not at this time, it needs to be considered in the long run. ”
Li Jiaojiao thought for a while: "Okay, I'll listen to you." Brother Wen, you must be careful, come and tell me when you settle down. After speaking, she gave Chen Xingwen all the little silver taels she had with her, and took off the gold hairpin from her bun.
Chen Xingwen: "Enough, no need." He resolutely refused to take her golden hairpin.
Li Jiaojiao: "I don't know when I can be stable, bring more, and I can use it in the future." Seeing that Chen Xingwen didn't answer, he handed it to Chen Xingwu.
Chen Xingwu unceremoniously took the golden hairpin.
When the Tang brothers and sisters arrived in Jinju, they passed by Chen Xingwen's house and found that it was unrecognizable. Tang Wuwei originally wanted to find the main piece and take it to ponder carefully, but seeing the situation, he gave up the idea.
When he was about to walk out of Jindi, Tang Wuwei still remembered the gun made by Chen Xingwen in his heart: The power of the ball was obviously not something that could be produced by a reed; when it was fired, why did it make such a loud noise? Tang Wuwei was puzzled. My sister had taken a closer look at the gun and had to ask her.
Tang Wuwei: "Susu, have you seen Xingwen's gun, have you figured it out?"
Tang Susu: "Didn't my brother say that this is a big taboo in martial arts, why do you ask this?"
Tang Wuwei: "I'm his uncle, and I'll keep it a secret from me." Xingwen is really smart, and we can't understand what he makes. ”
Tang Susu: "I really don't understand. I never understood why it was so powerful. He was fitted with a reed. But I've tried it with my hands, but it's not very strong, and it's impossible to rely on it to shoot the pellet out a hundred paces away and still be able to pierce armor and shoot wood. ”
Tang Wuwei: "There is also that loud noise, like firecrackers." Yes, it's firecrackers, and I smell firecrackers. ”
Tang Susu: "You mean that he uses firecrackers to make strength, I have also thought about this, but I haven't seen him light the fire." ”
Tang Wuwei: "This is where he is clever." Susu, my brother has an idea. ”
Tang Susu: "What do you think?"
Tang Wuwei: "Xingwen is a bull temper, he would rather die than hand over the gun to Li Ke." Obviously, if he really has an accident, won't his hard work be in vain? I think you have a responsibility to pass him on. ”
Tang Susu: "It's human nature for him to save his brother, and it's inconvenient for us to stop him." ”
Tang Wuwei: "According to the analysis of the current situation, Li Cunxiao can't stop Xingwen, and he also intends not to stop him." As long as we take Chen Xingwu away from Li Cunxiao and don't let Xingwen drag him down, Li Cunxiao will be helpless. This may be the best way to rescue Xingwen. ”
