Chapter 488: Like a Dream
Back in the Tibetan Army Valley, Li Fengyun locked himself in his room, did not eat, drink or speak, sat in front of the earthen wall, facing an earthen wall, quietly in a daze.
"Lord, how can you do it without eating or drinking like this?" Ding Hu brought the food, as well as Li Fengyun's favorite pot of wine, and it was difficult for him to have a heart.
"I can't eat it!" Li Fengyun shook his head, only took the pot of wine, and poured it hard, "It's all my fault that the brothers have lost so much. If it weren't for my self-righteousness, I would have brought my brothers to fight the Khitans; if I hadn't been nosy, I had to help the 300,000 army of the imperial court break the siege; if it weren't for my stubbornness, I didn't listen to the advice of my eldest brother, and I didn't beware of Du Chongwei's villain, my brothers would have lived a good life now. It's all my fault!
Ding Hu, how do you think I can eat?"
"Don't think so!" Ding Hu said with a straight face, "The brothers followed you, and they knew that there would be today, my lord, look at the soldiers in the camp, who are really coming for glory and wealth, I Ding Hu dare not say no, but how many people are there in the entire guerrilla battalion and the entire Fengyun Dart Bureau? Even Zhou Chengzong, who took refuge in Qianniuwei, didn't he also die in battle?"
"I remember, I remember, I remember!" Li Fengyun muttered to himself, "He didn't have to die, he blocked a full eight knives for me, his body was almost chopped up, and the whole person was like a bloody person!"
"Yes!" Ding Hu sighed, "Brother Zhou is good, do you remember what he said before he left?" He said that the thing he regretted the most was that he shouldn't have been confused for a while, joined Qianniuwei, and let him break up with his brothers. Everyone is wary of him, he knows very well in his heart, but he has never done anything that can not live in the guerrilla battalion, and it is the greatest honor in his life to be able to fight and die for the lord!"
"It's me who blames him, he didn't betray my guerrilla battalion, and in the news he sent to Qianniuwei, he didn't say a bad word about the guerrilla battalion!" Li Fengyun hugged his head and said, "I blamed him wrongly, why am I so confused?"
Ding Hu shook his head and said: "It's not that the lord is confused, in fact, what his subordinates want to say is what Brother Zhou said: It is the greatest honor in his life to be able to fight and die for the lord."
Yes, this is exactly what all the brothers who died in battle think, and it is also the idea of subordinates, and we have never regretted following the lord. ”
Li Fengyun's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered something, and looked at Ding Hu suspiciously: "You, you, aren't you already ......?"
Ding Hu smiled slightly, hugged his fists and bowed deeply to Li Fengyun: "Take care, the living brothers still rely on you!" As he spoke, the figure slowly faded away and dissipated into the air.
Li Fengyun stretched out his hand, trying to hold Ding Hu, but the place where he started was empty, where could he hold it?
Shaking his head vigorously, Li Fengyun sighed: "It turned out to be just an illusion!"
"Who said hallucination?" a familiar voice came to mind.
Li Fengyun's heart jumped violently, and he said loudly: "Brother Dian, it turns out that you are not dead, or did you come to see me in a dream?"
"Hahahaha!" With a burst of hearty laughter, the surrounding fog dispersed, and Dian Kui appeared in front of Li Fengyun, "What is dead or not, is it important?" Dian Kui pointed to Li Fengyun's heart, "As long as you and brothers still remember Brother Dian, how can I die?"
I'm afraid that one day, those guys who have forgotten their ancestors will forget all this, and say some shameless words for the sake of gold, silver, fame and fortune, then I, and my brothers, will really dissipate. ”
"Dian Kui is right!" The crazy monk didn't know when he came, grabbed the wine gourd beside Li Fengyun, raised his neck, poured a big sip of "grunt", and let out a long breath, and praised loudly: "Good wine, the great monk has drunk wine all his life, and this wine is the most enjoyable! It's a pity that there is wine but no meat, it is really a little worse, and it lives up to the reputation of the great monk as a wine and meat monk." ”
"Who said that there is wine but no meat? The old man is the owner of the Ping'an Inn, how can there be no meat? The best spiced dog meat, just look at whether you can afford to eat it, the dog meat in the Ping'an Inn is not cheap!"
A burst of meat fragrance wafted in, Bai Futong held a large wooden tray, and a whole marinated big dog rested in the tray, which looked very fragrant and attractive.
"Take it, you treacherous and slammering old traitor from Hedong, if you smash your broken table, you dare to let people pay six taels of silver, and you will be considered a loser (Note 1), if all the merchants in the world do business like you, and let people live?
The crazy monk snatched the tray in Bai Futong's hand, tore off a large piece of dog meat, threw it in his mouth and chewed it, and pointed at Li Fengyun and said, "You stinky boy has no share, you want to eat, let's talk about it after winning the big monk!"
Li Fengyun smiled slightly, remembering the incident of fighting with the mad monk in Kuzhu Temple in Qingping Town over wine and meat, although he lost most of the time, but occasionally he could beat this wine and meat monk to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen.
Suddenly, the scenery in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, Li Fengyun looked around carefully, isn't this the Kuzhu Temple? The big hall with only half a door left, isn't it the big hall that was occupied by the mad monk? Wasn't the Kuzhu Temple burned to ashes by the Khitans a long time ago, how could it still be the same as before, and how did he return to Qingping Town?
Isn't that person dodging outside the half-cut wall in the distance the second child of the Lu Family Tavern, Chen San, Li Fengyun's best friend in Qingping Town. What did he do at Kuzhu Temple?
"Chen San, what are you doing?" Li Fengyun shouted.
Chen San flashed out in a winch, pointed at the mad monk and said, "He, he, this evil monk, he stole the big black dog of the owner and slaughtered it!"
Li Fengyun looked at it fixedly, no wonder the dog meat looked so familiar, it turned out to be his third brother, Li Fengyun and Chen San jokingly worshiped brothers, and it happened that the big black dog rushed over to have fun, so it was natural to become the third brother.
Seeing that the third brother was torn apart by the big-headed monk and put it in his mouth and chewed, Li Fengyun was furious, jumped up, pointed at the crazy monk and scolded loudly: "You thief, don't say anything about stealing the prey I brought on weekdays, you actually killed my third brother too, it's really hateful, this revenge is not shared, come and come, you and I will fight for another three hundred rounds?"
A dog bone was thrown over, smashing Li Fengyun's cheeks with a faint pain, and the crazy monk Qi said: "You stinky boy, what are you crazy about? When did the big monk kill your third brother, this dog meat was obviously sent by Bai Futong, and you also saw it, how can you say that our family killed it? If you want to take revenge, you go to the white shopkeeper, what are you doing with the big monk? The big monk's belly is Xiao Xitian, our family is doing good deeds, and the big black dog is overpowered!"
Li Fengyun thought about it, it was indeed the case, and he didn't feel that his head was confused. looked at Bai Futong, who was expressionless, and felt weak in his heart, that was one of the three giants of Qingping Town, and he couldn't afford to mess with it.
While hesitating, they suddenly heard the noisy voices of people around them, Zhang Song and Xiao Jingyun ran over with a group of people and asked loudly, "Lord, what happened?"
Li Fengyun was overjoyed, pointed at Bai Futong and said, "You guys came just in time, help me beat him up!"
Zhang Songqi said: "Who are you beating? The Khitan Tartars are about to rush up again!"
Li Fengyun looked fixedly, how could there be any Bai Futong? Only the eyes were in a mess, corpses were all over the field, I don't know when, they had returned to the original small hillside, and Xiao Yuanqi was mobilizing manpower under the hillside, preparing to attack the mountain. Behind him stood hundreds of ragged civilians armed with wooden sticks, looking at him pitifully.
"What's going on?" Li Fengyun's mind couldn't turn.
"What are you still stunned about!" Du Ruyue ran over and stuffed a sharpened wooden stick into his hand, "The Khitans are about to rush up!"
The Khitan people are really about to rush up, and there is a miserable howl around, no, it's not the Khitans, it's Yang Zhan, Yang Guangyuan's general, Yang Zhan, leading countless Yang troops to surround Li Fengyun in the center, and the surrounding scenery seems to be Xieyang Road and it doesn't seem to be.
"Why do you want to kill me?" Li Fengyun heard an angry roar.
Turning around, Li Fengyun saw a pair of angry eyes, it was Yang Guangyuan, it was Yang Guangyuan who he killed with his own hands.
"Why do you want to kill me, I have no grievances with you!" Not only Yang Guangyuan roared, but Yang Zhan, Du Yanshou, Bai Yanzuo and others around him also roared in unison.
Li Fengyun's heart was in a trance for a while, yes, why did he want to kill Yang Guangyuan? He had no grievances or enmity with him.
No, Li Fengyun suddenly remembered the dripping blood under the city of Zhenzhou, the corpses of the people who were broken and miserable, and those who died tragically under Yang Junsaber and rushed to Zhenzhou with him, how could he say that he had no grievances with him?
"So it's for this!" Yang Guangyuan laughed, "You vulgar and ignorant boy of the earth, what nonsense are you talking about?
The big line does not care about the details, and the big gifts are not resigned. It has been like this since ancient times, do you think Du Chongwei is cleaner than Ben Shuai? Do you think that his hands are less stained with the blood of the people? Hahahaha, joke!
The people of the world are like a stupid roe deer, born to be slaughtered and eaten by our people. The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, isn't this the case in Qingping Town?
It's just that Ben Shuai was unlucky and failed, and naturally he can't leave any good reputation in history. But if Ben Shuai succeeds, dominates the world, and expells the Tartars, who dares to say that everything Ben Shuai has done before is not lying on his salary and tasting courage and enduring humiliation? Who does not call Ben Shuai a great hero and a great hero? He is worshiped by all the people?
What a traitor, what a disaster to the country and the people, hahahaha, this kind of thing is not done by Ben Shuai alone, Li Yuan also did this thing back then, Li Shimin also bowed to Ashina, but he succeeded, so there is the rule of Zhenguan and the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
What is the death of a few people? If you want to be an emperor, which dynasty and that generation will not kill people's heads?
It's a pity that God doesn't bless me, time is also, life is also!"
Li Fengyun sneered: "What an emperor and general, a group of heroes and heroes, in your eyes, the people of the world are a stupid roe deer, but in my Li Fengyun's eyes, it is not, because I Li Fengyun is also that stupid roe deer, and the soldiers of the Fengyun battalion, Fengyun guard, and guerrilla camp all come from that stupid roe deer."
They are all one head and two arms, no one is more than anyone else, why should you control our life and death, and you should be our master?
We are not bloodless slaves, we are not willing to be captive and killed, we are not willing to be human flesh, this is why we came together, the only purpose of our coming together is just to prove that you and us, all the people in the world, whether they are relatives of the emperor or the emperor and nobles, everyone is the same, they are all flesh and blood, and there is no divine Son of Heaven at all.
Whoever tries to climb on our heads and bully us, we kick him to the ground, cut off his head, and announce to the world that everyone is the same.
This is true for the Khitans, and it is also true for the Central Plains!
Soldiers, isn't that so?"
"Yes, that's it!" exclaimed Dian Kui.
"The lord is right! cut off their heads!" Zhang Jun, Zhang Song, Xiao Jingyun, and Yuan Ba shouted loudly.
"Kick him to the ground and cut off his head!" He Chi, Wang Cheng, Ding Hu, Ding Leopard, Ding Monkey, Zhou Chengzong...... Loud roar.
"We are all the same people, and no one is more noble than the other!" shouted more soldiers in unison.
"Fight with the lord in all directions, and prove to the world that we are all the same people!" the roars of countless soldiers joined together.
......
"No, I'm not your lord either!" Li Fengyun suddenly turned around, "I'm also not a true son, no one is qualified to be our lord, if you are an iron-blooded man, don't be anyone's slave, including me!"
Li Fengyun's face was flushed, and his heart became clearer and clearer, and he shouted loudly: "All human beings are created equal! If anyone wants to enslave us, then we should stand up and defeat them, no matter what excuse he uses, no matter who he is, the Central Plains people, the Khitan people, or the Semu people, no one is qualified to do so! We have the right to resist slavery, as long as we have the courage. ”
"Resist slavery, we have this right!" The surrounding voices were overwhelming, deafening......
"Isn't the old man okay?The old man is Ruyue's father, do you really want to kill the old man?" Everything disappeared, and there was only one person in front of Li Fengyun.
"Can't!" Li Fengyun replied coldly, "You have killed too many people for your ambition, for the sake of enslaving us, and the blood stains on your body can only be cleaned with your own blood." ”
"Let him go, okay?Fengyun, he's my father!" A complaining voice sounded beside Li Fengyun, it was Du Ruyue.
In an instant, Li Fengyun's body shook, and he almost wanted to give up, but could he give up? The picture of the battlefield conquest and killing reproduced in front of his eyes, and the scenes and familiar faces one after another pierced Li Fengyun's heart.
"Ruyue," Li Fengyun caressed Du Ruyue's beautiful face and said softly, "It's not that I refuse to let him go, it's that he owes too much blood debt, it is thousands of soldiers who died in battle who refuse to let him go, and thousands of people who are enslaved by him refuse to let him go!"
A black light flashed, Du Chongwei was cut into two sections, bright red blood spread, enveloping Li Fengyun, and a gloomy voice sounded in the air: "The old man will not let you go, you will never want to marry Ruyue for the rest of your life, you stupid and stupid roe deer, a pariah who crawled out of the ravine!"
"Ah!" In the blood, Du Ruyue screamed, turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared without a trace.
"Don't go, don't go!" Li Fengyun shouted.
"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving, Brother Fengyun, wake up!" Su Yunong's voice rang out.
Note 1: See the previous chapter 16, which is all Li Fengyun's hallucination, and all things are a reflection of Li Fengyun's previous experiences and subconscious.
