Chapter 124: Repaying Kindness in the Old Place
Wu Ben secretly smiled bitterly, the brothers left the Western Desert, wandering around, never met anyone, and there was nowhere to go, silent for a long time, Shen Yiwu thought at this time that before leaving Yuezhou, Lord Qu had a letter of entrustment, although he didn't know whether it was true or false, but at this time he had already left the city, so he might as well take it apart and see, so he said: "Wei Daxia, Lord Qu has entrusted a letter, in the hands of Miss Liang, we have never seen Qu Gongzi, according to Miss Liang, there are many suspicious things, it is better to open it now, and let Wei Daxia distinguish the authenticity."

Wei Chuan asked, "What are the questions?"
Shen Yiwu told him what was going on and told him what was suspicious. Wei Chuan smiled: "Miss Liang is thoughtful and too cautious. Wei once had a relationship with Lord Qu on the Luan River, I remember very clearly, Lord Qu has a beautiful face, a scholarly spirit, because Wei's hands turned white, so he cares very much about people's hands, Qu An at that time is indeed a hand like jade, pointing to the root of the onion, maybe this is the natural beauty. ”
Shen Yiwu nodded when he heard this, "Now that you are out of the city, it is better to open the letter and take a look." ”
Wei Chuan shook his head and said: "Don't worry, there must be chasing soldiers behind, cross the Moon Mountain, and it's not too late to see when the sky is bright." ”
Shen Yiwu followed his words and stopped talking.
The group hurried and galloped along the narrowing official road.
The moon evil mountain, the four fields are vast, and the night wind in the deep forest is slightly chilly. Three hours, did not stop, was already tired of people and horses, did not know that at this time, Jiang Xin under the crotch of the horse lost its front hooves, neighed, fell to the ground, Jiang Xin flew to the ground, the horse fell to the ground and barked a few times, and the limbs were weak. Motionless, he was exhausted to death.
The crowd stopped. I saw that there was already a dirt mountain road at my feet, and I was at the foot of Naiyue Mountain. So after some discussion, he abandoned the horse and walked, but Xiang Mingyue said: "If you move forward, you must kill these horses." ”
Wei Chuan was puzzled, frowned, and said, "I'm waiting to walk, why kill the horse?"
Xiang Mingyue said firmly: "If the pursuers arrive and find that these horses are all tired, and one of them is tired to death, you will know that we are walking on the mountain road." It will definitely speed up the catch-up. ”
"What the fifth brother said is extremely true, Wei Daxia, please decide. ”
Wei Chuan shook his head and said, "Carrying me for hundreds of miles, I can't bear to kill him." ”
"I'm afraid that Uncle Shi will be benevolent for a while, and he will die in Yueshan. ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, it turned out that at this time, Liang Qiuhong woke up leisurely and said that he wanted to go to the ground, Shen Yiwu hurriedly went over to probe his pulse, and said with concern: "Miss Liang is very weak. It is necessary to rest, not to work. ”
Liang Qiuhong shook her head and said: "The little girl's life should be like this, I'm afraid I won't survive tonight, so let me go." There is a letter from Lord Qu here, which is handed over to Uncle Shi. As he spoke, he took out the damp letter from his bosom.
Wei Chuan took it and carefully opened it. Reflecting the dim moonlight, take a look through. Then he folded the letter and put it in his bosom. He took a long breath and said: "According to what Qu Gongzi showed, when the emperor was on his southern tour, he sent someone to hand over the military talisman to the Zhongyi House of Broken Water Mountain for safekeeping, and let me wait to ask for it, and then cross the river to the north, recruit the three armies of Jiangbei, protect Yunzhou, Kyoto, and support the crown prince Mo Zilang as the emperor." ”
"Ah!" Shen Yiwu was shocked when he heard this, "If this is the case, then the emperor is not guaranteed, once the crown prince is established as the emperor, the Xue family will inevitably rebel, and the world will not be in chaos." ”
Wei Chuan shook his head and said: "This is a matter in the court, don't do your business with me, and have the right to hand over the letter to Lu Guangkun, the loyal and righteous lord." ”
Liang Qiuhong knew that Uncle Shi was insincere, so he muttered: "My generation is originally a person in the rivers and lakes, and I should not ask about the affairs of the imperial court, but it is related to the life and death of the people of Limin. ”
Zhao Gouqu's eyes suddenly widened, and his divine light burst out, "If you get the Son of Heaven Talisman, and the head of Wei is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, you can order the rivers and lakes, and the big thing can be decided." ”
Wu Ben was puzzled, "What's the big deal." ”
Liang Qiuhong said with a smile: "Seek the world's great plan." ”
Zhao Goqu looked even more excited and said, "Master Wei, you can't miss the opportunity." ”
Wu Ben refuted: "Fourth brother, are you crazy? Do you want to trap the head of Wei for disloyalty and injustice?"
Zhao Goqu said eagerly: "Is it disloyal and unjust, now the emperor is trapped in Yuezhou, guarded by the Jiangnan Road marching army, and the Luanjiang area, all are the Xue family's army, with millions of soldiers, both land and water, it has long been rumored that the Xue family has established the Southern Dynasty, and now the emperor is holding the emperor hostage, and it is a matter of time before he rebels and usurps power. ”
Xiang Mingyue interjected: "The fourth brother's intention, I'm afraid it's only half of what he said, after the Xue family is pacified, he can take credit for moving the imperial power." ”
When Wu Ben heard this, he was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Shut up, don't mention this in the future, otherwise don't blame the eldest brother for not recognizing his brother." ”
When Zhao and Wu heard this, they hurriedly said: "I hope that the eldest brother will be angry, and the younger brother is just talking casually." ”
Liang Qiuhong saw Wei Chuan's uncertain expression, and hurriedly said: "I hope that Uncle Shi will make a decision as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this, Wei Chuan looked up at Liang Qiuhong.
Liang Qiuhong continued: "Right now, Wei Tianzheng, the old general of Wei is still in the hands of Xue Guozhang, and he is in danger. ”
Wei Chuan was even more hesitant, and he stopped talking.
Seeing this, Wu Ben immediately persuaded: "Master Wei, this matter has a lot to do with it, and it needs to be considered in the long run, so it is better to go to Broken Water Mountain first and then make a decision." ”
Wei Chuan nodded: "What Wu Daxia said is very true, I will go to Broken Water Mountain first." ”
A group of people carried the dead horse to the deep forest, dispersed the remaining horses, carried the three women on their backs, looked for the way forward, climbed the mountains and leaped over the mountains, really until the dawn, and went to the peak of the Yueshan Mountain Range. So step up the search for the way down the mountain, the shade of the moon mountain, the grass and trees are overgrown, it is very difficult to walk, until Shen Shifang walked out of the mountain, I don't know where he is, a big road in front of him is crossing, the traces of chariots and horses are tired, and everyone is happy. Shen Yiwu said with a smile: "This road must go west to Yitian Cliff and east to Yuezhou, I don't know where the South Mountain Gate of Broken Water Mountain is." ”
Wei Chuan looked around and pondered: "There is a sense of déjà vu here, it should be a trip to the road that has only been taken once in nine years, since this is the case, from here to the east, you can go to the south gate of Broken Water Mountain." So he went west along the road, about ten miles, and suddenly heard the sound of hooves like thunder, and looked at the road ahead, and the dust was flying, and he saw a wave of soldiers and horses, about a hundred people. Rushing in, all with spears and spears. The whole body of iron armor is the war horse ridden by the first person. The head is wrapped in silver armor, under the sunset, shining, look closely, there is a word "benevolence" on the handsome flag, this area is the Xue family army, the "benevolence" word army, must be Xue Qi's second brother Xue Ren commanded, Wu Ben was shocked: "The one who comes must be Xue Ren." It is Xue Qi's second brother. ”
The leader Xue Ren, with a long sword hanging on his waist, wearing a silver crown on his head, his face was also covered, and only his eyes were exposed. surrounded Wei Chuan and the others, running back and forth, dusty and choking the three women. It's just that the three women were seriously injured and felt drowsy, and saw people shaking everywhere. My heart turned and I felt very uncomfortable. and fell asleep again.
"Ben will be ordered to come and arrest Naer and others, and quickly arrest him. Xue Renting immediately stepped on. Quietly, the deputy general next to him pointed at Wei Chuan and the others and shouted.
Wei Chuan saw that there were many people and horses, and he held the bow very softly, this must be the vanguard cavalry, and the infantry arrived immediately, even when he used to have martial arts, it was difficult to retreat with the whole body, and now the martial arts were abolished, and there were three girls seriously injured here, how could they be enemies, so he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "In Wei Chuan, I don't know what crime was committed, and whose order was the general?"
"The bold fanatic, do not kneel down and surrender. Saying that, Pegasus came out, and the spear went straight to Wei Chuan.
Wu Ben immediately waved the knife with both hands, straight up, a knife blocked, a knife cut the horse, the soldier was taken aback, the horse lost its front hoof, the spear in his hand was cut off by a knife, the shock was painful, screamed, and fell down, but the volley was buckled again, and the double knife clamped the neck when it landed. The generals immediately set up a formation, set up bows and arrows, and waited for Xue Ren's order.
"Although the last general is dead, he can't let go of this group of gangsters!" the arrested general shouted angrily.
Who knew that Xue Ren looked up at the sky at this time, sighed, and then took off his helmet, it turned out to be a weak look, Wei Chuan was surprised, it turned out that this person was the person who was rescued outside the broken water mountain that day.
Xue Ren turned over and dismounted, came with all his money, and said while holding his fists: "Wei Daxia, don't come to harm." ”
Wei Chuan replied: "It turns out that Your Excellency is a general, I didn't know it at the time, and I was disrespectful!"
Everyone around was surprised and looked at each other.
When Xue Ren heard this, he sighed and smiled: "It's hard to say, I was rescued by Wei Daxia that day, but I still couldn't get out as I wished, hahaha, it's been a long time, I don't want to meet Daxia in this way again......" sighed.
"The military order is like a mountain, Wei went with the general, hoping that the general would be in the past and let them go. ”
"Master Wei, the four of my brothers vowed to fight their way out of the bloody road, and Bao Engong escaped. Wu Ben shouted angrily.
"Master Wei, I can't go. Xiang Mingyue also shouted.
Xue Ren swept away the four brothers of Wu Ben and the three women behind him, his face was full of admiration, and he hugged Wei Chuan and said: "Knowing that you don't repay your kindness is a villain's behavior, and my brother has a heart for harm to Wei Daxia, once Ren hands Wei Daxia to Yuezhou City, it will be difficult to save Wei Daxia's life, what is the difference between this and not repaying your kindness? So Ren didn't plan to take Wei Daxia back to Yuezhou, and gave horses money and food to help the hard work of trekking through mountains and rivers......
"By no means, if you let them go, you can't explain when you go back, and your subordinates should be punished together, but they will be reduced and reduced, but the general has already made a military order in front of the governor. Several lieutenants immediately rolled off their horses and urged Xue Ren.
When Wei Chuan and the others heard this, their expressions changed, they didn't expect Xue Ren to be so chivalrous, and they admired it.
Xue Ren smiled slightly and said: "If you take away Wei Daxia today, Xue Renxiang will be on the head, and it is better to die than to see this piece of blue sky, besides, death is a matter of time, compared to cherishing the great grace of the day, how precious is life." ”
"General......" the general pleaded.
Xue Ren bowed to Wei Chuan and said with a smile: "Please also ask Wei Daxia to leave quickly for the sake of Quanren's wishes." As soon as he waved his hand, four soldiers led the mount out.
Wei Chuan hesitated, and said politely: "General Xue's feelings, Wei really dare not be, if Wei goes back with General Xue, life and death are not yet known, but if General Xue returns empty-handed, he will be beheaded under military law, if so, how can Wei feel at ease." ”
"Uncle Shi......" Liang Qiuhong had already woken up, had a relationship with Xue Renmei, knew what he was unspeakable, at this time, in order to repay the great kindness of saving him in the past, he wanted to let go of Uncle Wei, so since then, according to the military law, he must be beheaded, but Uncle Wei couldn't bear it, so he persuaded: "Uncle Xue for the time being, and then think about it in the long run, the younger generation has a plan to ensure that General Xue is safe." ”
Wei Chuan was skeptical and asked, "What is the plan of the virtuous nephew?" ”
Liang Qiuhong deliberately raised his voice and said: "General Xue needs to go all the way west, arrive at Yitian Cliff and then turn back, naturally there is nothing to do." ”
Hearing this, everyone was even more puzzled, but Xue Ren was the only one with a knowing smile on his face, and glanced at Liang Qiuhong gratefully, "This plan is very good. ”
So Wei and Xue held hands and said goodbye, Xue Ren ordered the soldiers and horses to march west, Wei Chuan and his party went east, and all the way they saw that the Xue family army was seven or eight thousand people, and they were all equipped with knives and bows, and everyone was secretly frightened.
"Can this plan save General Xue's life?" Wei Chuan was uneasy all the way, and couldn't help but ask Liang Qiuhong, who closed his eyes and recuperated.
Liang Qiuhong said with a guilty face: "Uncle Shi is not strange, the younger generation claims to have a clever plan, which is General Xue's intention, and there is no good way to save General Xue." ”
Wei Chuan sighed when he heard this, "Alas, why is the virtuous nephew like this." ”
"Uncle Shi is not strange, Uncle Shi once saved Xue Ren's life, and now he repays with his life, it is a matter of course, Uncle Shi doesn't have to worry about it, besides, even if Uncle Shi goes back with Xue Ren, he can only save Xue Ren for a while?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Liang Qiuhong smiled slightly and said: "Didn't Uncle Shi see that Xue Ren has an unspeakable secret, Xue Guozhang held the emperor hostage, will force the monarch to abdicate, and give way to Xue, when the time comes, the Guozhang will become the emperor, then the Xue brothers will inevitably compete for the prince and kill each other, how can Xue Ren beat Xue Qi?"
Shen Yiwu shook his head and said: "Miss Liang is too worried, even if Xue Guozhang usurped the imperial power and became the emperor, since ancient times, Xue Qi is the eldest son, and he should be the prince, so why harm his brother." ”
Wei Chuan said thoughtfully: "Guozhang is not the two sons of Xue Qi and Xue Ren, at least one more, when he rescued Xue Ren, there was another person, similar to Xue Renxiao." ”
Liang Qiuhong coughed, "Uncle Shi can go to Broken Water Mountain quickly and ask for a talisman, and you can persuade Xue Ren to worship as a subordinate." ”
Wei Chuan said slightly angrily: "Do you want to trap Xue Ren for being disloyal and unfilial?"
Liang Qiuhong saw that her uncle was angry, lowered her head, and didn't dare to say anything more. (To be continued.) )
