Chapter 198: The Second Su Jingxing
Great Chu champion Hou, Su Jingxing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This simple and elegant name is taken from Xiao Ya in the Book of Songs, which means 'high mountains look up, scenery and line stop', full of elegant and poetic charm.
But then again, Su Jingxing is indeed a bit elegant and weak, and he looks like a humble gentleman-like poet and scholar. But no one dared to imagine that it was the fair-skinned and shy scholar who could make such domineering feats as Wending martial arts.
Even after many years, when Lin Zongwu thought of that person again, he still couldn't avoid the respect for him in his heart. People will never forget that the demeanor of that person back then has always suppressed the edge of his peers.
"But sometimes it may really be a matter of prosperity and decline. ā
Lin Zongwu thought about it silently, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled, and he said with some self-deprecation: "Su Jingxing seems to have used the achievements of the rest of his life for hundreds of years in exchange for the glory of the first thirty years of his life, because he is too dazzling, Canghai County was originally only a hereditary Canghai Marquis, but when he got there, the military glory was almost half a step to become the king, and he could only be reluctantly named the champion Hou." He is really a little too dazzling, which makes people feel a little unreal, especially after the reign of the extremely human minister, the king of Chu really seems to have nothing to give him. ā
Xu Qingyun's face was complicated when he heard this, he raised his head and asked softly, "Then what happened in the end?"
"Finally?" Lin Zongwu shook his head when he heard this, and sneered: "Isn't it the most perfect ending now?" Champion Hou Su Jingxing died in the battle of Northern Xinjiang, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess died of grief in the sea. The huge Su family in the entire Canghai County only left a small county lord who was less than three years old. ā
"Little Lord. ā
Xu Qingyun's face was pale, he held the reins tightly with both hands, his eyes were a little trance-like, he remembered the matter of his senior sister Su Ke, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
The old scalper swayed forward, after leaving Yuyang County in the west, there were already many regular Chu troops on the official road, their faces were serious and awe-inspiring, and all the passing vehicles were registered and checked.
Fortunately, Lin Zongwu has some experience in this kind of thing, and handed over the academy documents and the customs clearance letterhead of the Chu Dynasty, and the ox cart has successfully and smoothly entered Yuyang County, although Xu Qingyun has been driving all the time, but his whole person is a little confused, and he has been thinking about the affairs of the Su family in Canghai County.
"Mr. Lin, didn't Su Jingxing die on the battlefield?"
He drove through the streets of Yuyang County, but his brows were always furrowed, his eyes looked at the road in front of him to Yingdu, and he asked with doubts: "But why did you say that the King of Chu killed him?"
Lin Zongwu leaned on the carriage, his eyes were half-squinted, and he said in a faint voice: "The reason is actually very simple, if you have to let the injured tiger go to the Northern Ice Field to destroy the wolves, it will be difficult not to fight to the death." ā
Xu Qingyun was slightly shocked when he heard this, he knew that the wolves in the Northern Ice Plain were naturally not real wolves, they were those demons that had bred since ancient times, and the chaotic demon bell suppressed by Zen Master Huiming of Xiaofoshan was also from the hands of the Black Emperor of the Demon Clan.
"What did the King of Chu ask Su Jingxing to do in the ice field?"
"Without a single soldier or an edict, let him kill the Black Emperor. ā
"And then Su Jingxing just went?"
"Of course, he wouldn't have died!"
"Damn!" Xu Qingyun couldn't help but complain: "Is this Su Jingxing an idiot?!"
"Maybe," Lin Zongwu shook his head and sighed: "But how many idiots can there be in this world?
Xu Qingyun didn't know what happened back then, so naturally he wouldn't understand Su Jingxing's approach, going deep into the cold and dark place of the ice field, maybe for many powerhouses of the Seven Realms, they didn't dare to guarantee that they would retreat.
"The matter of Canghai County may not be so simple!"
Thinking like this in his heart, the ox cart had already staggered out of the county town, under the current general situation of the Chu State, the people in the city were still living in their own world, and they didn't realize how wide the game between the princes and princes might be affected this time.
"The Chu Dynasty since the annexation of Qi and Zhao has begun to grow slowly, more than ten years ago the Three Kingdoms invaded Shu, although they paid a lot of price, but what they got was the vast plains of the three southeastern counties of Shu, and the entire Great Chu has shown the momentum of the real king's hegemony. ā
"The people live in peace and the country is prosperous, but the more times like this, the more Dachu needs internal unity. ā
Xu Qingyun drove through the county seat, and when he went out of the city again, it was already dark, and Fu Qingling and the others were already asleep in the carriage, and he and Lin Zongwu slowly drove to the ancient road and dense forest farther away by the moonlight in front of the carriage.
"Does Mr. Lin think that the current situation is caused by the King of Chu?"
"This is not the result of the King of Chu, it is the result that the entire Chu Dynasty must experience, and the King of Chu does not want to see the princes of the feudal territory, because that is not a unified dynasty. The princes also don't like to see the real unification of the Chu State, because that kind of Chu State is, in the final analysis, just the Chu State of the King of Chu alone. ā
"What kind of Chu State does Mr. Lin want?"
"Me?" Lin Zongwu smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "Now it's not about asking me what kind of Chu country I want, but what kind of Chu country the people want." ā
Xu Qingyun was slightly stunned when he heard this, his heart was suddenly full of hesitation, maybe he was born in the Dahe Prefecture Demon Clan in his previous life, and he was born a little cold by nature, and he didn't seem to care too much about the people of the dynasty, and the reincarnation of cause and effect of life and death was just a pawn of those big shots.
He held the reins silently, looked at the vast night in the distance, and said calmly: "I don't care about their lives or deaths, I only care about those who care about me, I want to keep them from being harmed." ā
Lin Zongwu raised his head in some surprise, he looked at Xu Qingyun's side face, a teenager in the moonlight, with angular cheeks, and a calm gaze like a cold moonlight, without the slightest human warmth.
He thought silently for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "You really surprised me, a young man of your age, with a little ability, often pursues both to help the world, but what you want is to be alone." ā
Xu Qingyun asked in a deep voice, "Is it wrong for me to do this?"
Lin Zongwu shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If it was me more than ten years ago, I would definitely spray you with blood." ā
Xu Qingyun was silent.
Lin Zongwu continued: "You are very strong, not only the sword intent is strong, but even your heart is stronger than I imagined. It's just that although you look peaceful, your heart is too arrogant, if you are in the same era as Su Jingxing, the position of the champion Hou back then may not necessarily be his. ā
"But the results of the two of you won't be too different!" (To be continued.) )
