Chapter 30: Jokes
Fu Rong kept staring at him, and he didn't leave him for a moment. Lingyun and Qi Feng knew that they were defeated by Xie Xuan today, if they let him know that the master was the former Qin general, how could he have his life. Seeing Master looking at Xie Xuan like this, he was secretly worried.
Xie Xuan was looked at like this by Fu Rong, and he always felt that he had a deep hatred for him. But when I think about it, I can't guess why. Then he asked: "I don't know that Your Excellency has a deep hatred with me, and you seem to be very dissatisfied with Xie." I have rarely done anything bad in my life, and I don't know where I offended Your Excellency, please make it clear. He spoke in a respectful manner, without the slightest hint of pretentiousness.
Kou Lao Dao just suffered the loss of blindness, and this is his way. Although he defeated himself by tricks, it was only a contest in martial arts, and there was no deep hatred. Seeing him so humble, he was no longer as rude as before.
Lingyun and Qifeng didn't know who Xie Xuan was, and listening to his words, they really wanted to turn their rivalry into a jade silk, and they didn't want to cause more trouble. At this time, the four of them were all taken down by him, if he wanted to, he only needed to give an order to get rid of the four people, so why bother with so many lips and tongues. Naturally, I had some admiration for him in my heart, and there was really no malice.
However, Fu Rong fell for him, where can he listen. No matter how clever he is, he can't save the former Qin from defeat. Snorted coldly: "It's a good word, I don't know if you deceived and killed more than 100,000 people in the former Qin Pioneer, but it was a good deed?"
Xie Xuan's heart froze, thinking, could it be that he was a former Qin sergeant? Thinking back to what he said before, what 'don't work for the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the like', he suddenly woke up and realized that it was because of the Battle of Weishui that he was so angry with himself.
After asking the reason, he smiled calmly and said, "Yes, I did trick Fu Rong, the pioneer of the former Qin, into retreating half a mile so that he could cross the river and fight." It's just that this matter is related to the lives of millions of Li people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and I, Xie Xuan, am the governor of the first army, so I naturally have the responsibility to block foreign enemies. Taking a step back, if it weren't for the former Qin Dynasty coming to attack my Eastern Jin Dynasty, how could I have done such a treacherous thing. ”
Seeing that Fu Rong's face was slightly ashamed, he continued: "I Xie has never had the heart to fight in my life, but I don't want to see the Jiangshan Society broken by others. If Your Excellency hates me Xie because of this, it is not enough to think that I Xie will die thousands of times. It's just a pity that the former Qin general Fu Rong couldn't persuade the former Qin emperor to strike down the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he incurred the disaster of killing. ”
When Fu Rong heard him say this, he remembered the scene when he persuaded Emperor Fu Jian not to go south, if he insisted on refusing to accept the position of general, Qianqin would not have fallen to such a point. The matter of going south, it is indeed as Xie Xuan said, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is only out of self-preservation, and there is nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, the former Qin was too ambitious and wanted to dominate the mountains and rivers.
I just think of those brothers who followed him, in order to help him fight his way out of the encirclement, they all fought bravely to kill the enemy, but in the end they ended up in the tragic situation of exposing their corpses in the wilderness. With pain in his heart, he still said strongly: "Unifying the country is the trend of the times, and your victory in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is just a trick." I have been fighting horses all my life, and I have to die just to serve the country, what is there to be sorry for. ”
Xie Xuan heard him claim to be Fu Rong, his face was startled, and he asked, "You said you are Fu Rong?"
Fu Rong looked suspicious, not knowing what tricks he was going to play. But he was straightforward by nature, and refused to argue with it, saying, "Exactly!" and his tone was quite majestic, which made people have to believe it.
Xie Xuan heard him admit it, and then laughed and said, "Joke, it's just a joke." After Qin Qian retreated northward, the whole country mourned for Fu Rong and mourned in the name of Da Sima. Fu Rong is already dead, you say you are Fu Rong, isn't it a joke?" he couldn't help but glance at Fu Rong as he spoke, signaling him not to argue any further.
Fu Rong had already fallen for him, where would he believe that he would have any good intentions, and he shouted to himself: "I am the former Qin general Fu Rong, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it." If you don't kill me today, one day let me return to Qianqin, and I will definitely raise troops to the south again. At that time, you will have to be captured alive, and you will be ashamed of the snow day. When he spoke, his voice was fierce, and Xie Xuan secretly praised it when he heard it. thought to himself, it was really Fu Rong, and his life was in the hands of others, but he still didn't change his face like this.
Listening to his words, you can see that he does not know much about the current situation. said: "Joke, the former Qin Xian is already tired, and it is difficult to protect himself, so what else is there to talk about going south." As far as the current situation is concerned, let alone Fu Rong, even a three-year-old child can see it. Isn't it a big joke that you dare to call yourself Fu Rong?"
Fu Rong was stunned when he heard what he said. He had been raising in that dilapidated temple for more than a month, and he didn't know about the current situation, and when he heard Xie Xuan say this, he couldn't help but worry in his heart. He asked: "Is this true? Is the former Qin really defeated like a mountain, and has it reached the point where the country is ruined and the family is ruined?"
Xie Xuan knew that among his entourage, there were many eyes and ears sent by the imperial court. At first, when Former Qin sent troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they were quite distrustful of him. If it weren't for his uncle Xie Shi's recommendation, he would definitely not be accepted for this position. When he won the Battle of Weishui, the imperial court was even more afraid of his high achievements and became suspicious of him. He ordered his cronies to be mixed in the army so that he could monitor his every move. Fu Rong spoke very loudly, I am afraid that those people have already listened. If this matter reaches the ears of the imperial court, how can Fu Rong be killed?
Xie Xuan saw that he didn't care about his own life, but he was still worried about the affairs of the court, and he praised Youjia. It's just that he cherished his talent very much in his life, and he didn't want Fu Rong to die, so he said loudly: "Murong Chui has established himself as the emperor, known as Houyan, and he will attack Chang'an in the near future." If Fu Rong is still here, how dare Murong Chui do this?" When he said this, he was really blindly denying that he was Fu Rong, so that those ears and eyes mixed in with his subordinates would not know the truth.
Xie Xuan had already heard that Fu Rong was smart and discerning, and he wrote it. As for talking about the Tao of the Occult Path, even the Dao An who has attained the Tao is not as good as him. At the same time, his strength is strong, his martial arts are profound, he is good at riding and shooting thorns, and he has the enemy of a hundred people. admired him early in life, but he just didn't have the opportunity to see it. When I first heard that he had died in the Battle of Weishui, I felt very sorry.
Now that I hear him call himself Fu Rong, I am happy in my heart, and I have already intended to be rescued. It's just that because there are eyes and ears of the court in the entourage, if you know that you have released the former Qin generals privately, after the court learns about it, it will inevitably make a fuss with this, condemn yourself, and accumulate your family.
Fu Rong heard him mention Murong Chui, and his heart sank. Although the Later Qin Dynasty was unified on the surface, the strength of the princes of all parties did not diminish at all. At first, he tried his best to persuade Emperor Fu Jian not to let the princes control his old ministry. Once a strong enemy invades the former Qin, those people will inevitably set up their own banner and break away from the former Qin. Unexpectedly, the former Qin did not have a strong enemy to attack, but the southern invasion failed, so that the princes of all parties were ready to move.
At this time, I heard Xie Xuan say that Murong Chui had established himself as the emperor, and he stayed in the local area, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing him like this, Xie Xuan stepped forward and said, "I heard that Fu Rong is smart and discerning, and he is by no means as arrogant and unreasonable as you. Knowing that death is coming, how can he have such a reckless tongue, how can he have the slightest demeanor of Fu Rong?" After speaking, he couldn't help but look at Fu Rong, lest he refute himself again, so that those ears and eyes would believe that he was Fu Rong.
