Chapter 104: It's a Friend and a Brother
Perhaps, most people don't know that two of the top ten masters are all from the Wei State, the Golden Gun Feng Yichen, a native of the Wei State, the arrow god Qiu Zimo, from the Qiu family, one of the four major families of the Wei State.
Qiu's family is located in the mountain tomb city of Shoukang Mansion in Xuzhou, so Qiu Zimo generally guards Xuzhou. In addition, there is another reason, the east of Xuzhou is the Xuzhou line in the east of Wei, which is adjacent to the west of Beiguo, and the appeasement city of the Xuzhou line in the east is the top priority of the entire eastern Xinjiang.
The predecessor of the Wei State, when the Chen State was in the 55th year of the calendar, the Bei State tore a big hole from the Xuzhou Line in the eastern Xinjiang, slaughtered the territory of the Chen State for 200 miles, and slaughtered more than one million people, so the Chen State built a pacification city here, and has been sending heavy troops to guard it.
Appeasement means to appease the people.
Of course, Beiguo was also punished by the soldiers of Chen Guo, although he did not slaughter millions like Beiguo, but he burned all the living materials where he passed, making the people in the western Xinjiang of Beiguo miserable and complaining. This is even more ruthless than direct killing, and it is an incomparable headache for the king of the Humble Kingdom.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp of the Wei army.
"The guy who put the cold arrow is probably bored to death. Liu Feilong smiled, his eyes as if he saw Qiu Zimo on the hillside outside through the big tent.
White Emperor Nie Bing spread his hands, this man who looked to be twenty-seven or eight years old, his strength was terrifying.
"I'm going to see him. Golden Spear Feng Yichen said, and walked out of the big tent with the silver spear Xiahou Yun.
"Lao Bai, if there is a blood dragon left, bring me two more altars. Liu Feilong looked at the White Emperor Nie Bing with a grin.
"No, you thing, every time you come, you take a jar, do you think boiled water is worthless?" Nie Bing said angrily.
"If you don't want to give, you don't want to give, stingy!" Liu Feilong gave Nie Bing a blank look, and the angry Nie Bing blew his beard and glared.
In the eyes of everyone in the outside world, the top ten masters must all be cold and arrogant, and the White Emperor Nie Bing has the title of "Iceman", but who knows, they will also scold people, and they will also have joys, angers and sorrows, but all this will only be revealed when they meet people of the same level.
This is probably the so-called circle, the upper level has always been indifferent to the lower circle, and only people with the same strength can attract the other party to talk, even if it is an enemy.
"The 100,000 army?" Nie Bing glanced at Liu Feilong.
"Kill!" Liu Feilong's face was like frost, the meat sent to his mouth, how could there be any reason not to eat it, after this battle, some veterans of the Liu family could retire with glory, and 100,000 recruits could also be trained.
In the beginning of the autumn of the seventeenth year of the Great Wei calendar, the Chichihar grassland buried 100,000 troops of the Zhao State, and the Wei army won a great victory.
When the news of the Wei army's victory reached Great Wei, the whole country was excited, and many people were proud of their Wei identity.
The news of the victory naturally reached the ears of Liu Chu of the Minglu Academy, although there was no news of Liu Feilong, but the absence of news meant that Liu Feilong was fine, which made Liu Chu breathe a sigh of relief.
When Zhao Yao got the news of the victory of the Wei army, he was so angry that his face turned blue and smashed a lot of things in the study, not because they were defeated, but because the assassination of Liu Feilong was unsuccessful!
The two top ten masters, they haven't been able to take down Liu Feilong yet! Zhao Yao never thought that in addition to a golden spear Feng Yichen, even the White Emperor Nie Bing also went, and there was even the arrow god Qiu Zimo hidden in the shadows.
"My father became ill because of this, and news came from the palace that it was not optimistic. Zhao Yao frowned, Zhao Wang Zhao Yuan heard the news of the assassination failure, he was so angry that he spurted blood from his mouth, and fainted on the spot, now the diagnosis of the imperial doctor is not very good, this is a little tactful, in fact, it means that time may not be long.
Zhao Yao couldn't figure it out, his father's body and bones have always been tough, even if he vomited blood angrily, he wouldn't be sick from now on.
"Come on, prepare the horses, I want to return home. Zhao Yao keenly smelled a hint of conspiracy, and he felt that he had to rush back immediately, otherwise his position as the prince might not be guaranteed, or even the position of the crown prince.
In the courtyard of No. 929 in Suzaku District, Tong Botao looked at the fragrant wood in the box and thanked Su Qin with a grateful face.
Su Qin waved his hand: "What about Liu Chu, I have introduced him to a few businesses, and a few of my friends want to build a few sets of second-grade ink nuclear equipment." ”
For the students of the academy, the second-grade ink-core equipment is enough, the third-grade ink-core equipment is not suitable for them, and the third-grade ink-core equipment is also relatively expensive, and it is completely unworthy in terms of price comparison.
Therefore, in the Linglu Academy, the second-grade ink nuclear equipment is the most popular. The other two two-star ink masters of the Minglu Academy, although they did not join any forces, had countless followers and supporters.
"He's in the house, you can go straight to him. After Tong Botao finished speaking, he ran out of the No. 929 compound with the box containing the acupine wood, and he didn't know why he went.
Su Qin stood at the door, his ear pressed to the door, he wanted to make sure if Liu Chu was building the ink core equipment inside, if so, he wouldn't bother him. But after listening to it for a while, there was no movement inside, and I didn't think it was being built.
"Brother Liu, are you inside?" Su Qin knocked on the door.
There was no response, Su Qin knocked on the door again after a while, but there was still no response, he pushed open a crack and glanced in, and found that the room was empty.
"Brother Su, what are you doing?" found the sneaky Su Qin in October.
"Oh, I'm looking for Liu Chu, what about the others?" asked Su Qin.
"I went out, I don't know where I went. October said.
"That's right. Su Qin glanced in again, and then left.
Hulu Mountain.
"This little fat man, was he so miserable when he was a child? You didn't know how to care for him at that time?" Liu Chu and Tong Zhenghai stood side by side, standing on the top of the mountain and blowing the mountain breeze, quite a detached posture.
"After his mother died, he was a little autistic, and it took nearly two years to slowly let go of himself, can't he see it?" Tong Zhenghai said.
Liu Chu nodded, he really couldn't see it, no one could see it, Tong Botao once suffered from severe autism.
Tong Botao's father passed away not long after he was born, and Tong Botao's mother took Tong Botao alone.
But when Tong Botao was six years old, Tong Botao's mother also died because of a vicious disease, and since that year, Tong Botao has fallen into autism, not talking to anyone, ignoring any feelings, and behaving repeatedly and stereotypically.
This state lasted for a whole ten years, and when he was sixteen years old, he got better, and in two years, he returned to the state of a normal person, and no one knew what his inner world had experienced.
At that time, his mother often caught colorful frogs to make him happy, which was the best memory of his childhood. Tong Zhenghai said.
"So every year on his mother's sacrifice day, he catches a lot of colorful frogs?" Liu Chu suddenly realized, no wonder Tong Botao would ask Su Qin for Jingxiangmu.
"This kid has been suffering since he was a child, so my eldest brother and I never forced him to learn anything, firstly, he is not outstanding in his own talent, and secondly, I want him to live freely, if there are any dangers and tribulations, our two uncles just resist for him. Tong Zhenghai's eyes showed a touch of distress.
"Then you can't protect him for the rest of your life, after all, age is there, once you leave, he is not alone?"
Liu Chu suddenly thought that although Tong Zhenghai's strength is only nine grades of martial arts, which is the average lifespan of a normal person, Tong Zhengping is a person who has stepped into the immortal gate with half a foot, and he should theoretically be able to live for more than two hundred years, so there is really no problem in taking care of Tong Botao for a lifetime, and maybe it is Tong Botao who will take the first step in the end instead of Tong Zhengping.
"With the big brother here, it's not a big problem. Sure enough, Tong Zhenghai said.
"I'm glad that he can meet you, Liu Chu, I can see that you are a person who values affection, if possible, take Xiaotao with you all the time. Tong Zhenghai seems to be entrusting.
"Master, even if I didn't say anything like you today, I would treat him as a brother for life. Liu Chu said that he really thinks so, he never makes friends whether they are rich or poor, as long as they are worthwhile, they will make friends.
"Well, Liu Chu......" Tong Zhenghai looked at Liu Chu.
Tong Zhenghai didn't move after saying half a sentence, which made Liu Chu a little puzzled: "Teacher, what else do you have to ask the apprentice?"
"It's fine. Tong Zhenghai waved his hand, just now he wanted to take this opportunity to tell the crisis of Karakuri City, but after thinking about it, forget it, this matter is too involved, although Liu Chu's character and ability at this stage are fine, but Tong Zhenghai still wants to observe for a while.
After Tong Botao got the Jingxiangmu, he took the Jingxiangmu back to perfect the bait to lure the colorful frogs, and then carried a wooden box on his back and took the bait out of Jinlu City.
Colorful frogs are not common, but they are not rare, so in the woods outside the city of Linglu, there are still some.
After Tong Botao found a place, he set up the bait and traps, and then climbed to a big tree to hide, estimating that he should be able to catch a lot after two hours, so he squinted and dozed directly on a thick branch.
Two hours later, Tong Botao woke up with his eyes open, and went to the several traps that had been arranged before, and when he looked around, he frowned slightly, and only then did he catch three colorful frogs, the number was a little less.
After Tong Botao put the three colorful frogs into the wooden box, he rearranged the bait and trap, and then waited for another hour.
An hour later, Tong Botao only harvested one colorful frog again, and a total of four colorful frogs.
Tong Botao dug a big pit, a big pit high enough for the colorful frogs to jump out, and then threw the caught colorful frogs into it, and then he just lay on the edge of the big pit, looking at the colorful frogs in the pit in a daze.
Tong Botao frowned, seemingly a little dissatisfied. The number of colorful frogs is too small, only four, and at this time in previous years, he would catch dozens of them.
In the first year, he caught twenty-six, and if his mother was still alive, she would be twenty-six years old.
The next year, he caught twenty-seven, and if his mother was still alive, she would be twenty-seven years old.
In the third year, he caught twenty-eight, and if his mother was still alive, she would be twenty-eight years old.
Year 4......
This year is the twelfth year of his mother's departure, and if she is still around, she will be thirty-eight years old.
Tong Botao was secretly annoyed that he had not been able to catch enough thirty-eight colorful frogs! There were too few colorful frogs in this place, and even if there were thirty-eight, they would be very scattered, and if they were to catch them all, it would take several days, and it would be past his mother's sacrifice day.
At this moment, Tong Botao found that there was one more colorful frog in the pit, and it became five.
Could it be that he was so lucky? A colorful frog jumped in? Heaven really took pity on him, but it was still far from enough for thirty-eight.
"Huh?" Tong Botao was surprised, and another colorful frog jumped into the pit.
Third, fourth, fifth...... More and more colorful frogs appeared in the pit, Tong Botao raised his head, and only then did he find that Liu Chu, October, Xi Feichen and others were standing on the opposite side of the pit they had dug, looking at themselves with a smile.
However, what shocked him the most was that Wei Suo was holding a cloth bag, the mouth of the bag was facing down, and colorful frogs kept falling out of the mouth of the bag and entering the pit he had dug.
"You, you ......" Tong Botao looked at everyone in a daze.
"Why don't you ask us to help? It's the twelfth year, isn't it? Thirty-eight, Wei Suo, don't pour too much. Liu Chu first said to Tong Botao, and then turned to Wei Suo and said.
"Gotcha, the last one, thirty-eight!" The last colorful frog fell from the mouth of the bag, Wei Suo hurriedly grasped the mouth of the bag, and the bag suddenly became lively, and a small protrusion appeared from time to time, it was a colorful frog bouncing around, and it seemed that there were many colorful frogs in the bag.
"Why?" Tong Botao's eyes were red, don't look over his head and dare not look at Liu Chu and them.
"We are friends, and even more so, brothers! I only worshipped some time ago, why don't you plan to recognize me as a brother?" Liu Chu said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"I didn't ...... No, I just ...... It's just ......" Tong Botao hurriedly explained to Liu Chu, but he didn't know how to explain, his current mood was too complicated to describe.
"If you like to call me Xiao Nian, then I'll call you Xiao Bo, Xiao Nian and Xiao Bo, aren't they very compatible?" Liu Chu said seriously.
Poof, Tong Botao laughed: "Why am I called Xiaobo, isn't it nice to be called Xiaotao?"
"There are waves before there are waves, isn't it? It's called Xiaobo, which is of great significance!" Liu Chu said.
"Ahh
"If I were an ordinary person, I would prefer to herd cattle and kites in the fields with my friends and brothers, fish and bathe in the rivers, dig birds' nests and dig wild vegetables in the mountains and forests. But I'm not, it's doomed from the day I was born, I'm not ordinary, no one will let me get my wish. I also learned from Teacher Tong just now that you are also not an ordinary person, so ah, we can be considered brothers as a good person, right?"
Tong Botao's eyes turned even redder, just looking at Liu Chu, staring deadly, wanting to imprint this person into the depths of his soul.
"Auntie, your son will no longer be alone, he has brothers and sisters, me, and them. ”
Tong Botao knelt in front of the pit, looked at the colorful frogs inside, and couldn't cry.
