Chapter 148: I Live for You
In White Horse Town, Guo Que sat bored in his teahouse. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It has been two months since Su Changan and the three left.
In the past two months, the garrison in Whitehorse has been more than one day a day. The soldiers who walked in the town every day, the bright swords and halberds in their hands flashed straight to the hearts of the people in the town.
It's as if they're telling these people all the time that war is about to begin.
As a result, the inhabitants of Whitehorse are less than one day a day.
The business of Guo Que Teahouse is naturally getting worse day by day.
He has a lot of money left to him by Su Changan before, although he is reluctant to leave this teahouse left by his ancestors, but he still has to leave a way for himself to live, and he also plans to pack his luggage and prepare to leave in the next few days.
He is not young, but his wife died early, and he has been thinking about his deceased wife for so many years, so there is no meaning to continue.
This walk is also easy, alone.
He thought that since he was going to start over, he had some money in his hands. It is better to go elsewhere than to find another girl. After all, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, after all, he still has to save an incense for his old Guo family.
And in this White Horse Town, the friends he knows well have almost left, and if there is any reluctance, it is the old gentleman in the west of the town.
That was the gentleman in the White Horse Town Academy, although he was a little harsh, and he was naughty at that time, so naturally he was inevitably punished by this gentleman, but he was always his teacher.
This old gentleman has no children under his knees, and now that he is old, and this is the case in White Horse Town, Guo Que feels a little gloomy every time he thinks of what happened to him in the future. Therefore, after deciding to leave, he went to the door and took some money with him. He has always been kind-hearted, he was unwilling to be mediocre when he was young, he learned to go south and north, and he once saved a child when he was in Youzhou. Only then they broke off, and he only vaguely remembered that the child seemed to have the same surname as him.
Thinking of this, Guo Que walked to the door again and glanced at the sky outside. It's a little dark, and it looks like it's going to rain again.
He estimated that no one would come today, so he decided to leave anyway, so he simply closed the stall and packed his luggage.
With that in mind, he turned around and began scrubbing the tables and chairs that had not been used in the past few days.
It doesn't really make much sense to do this, but it's a habit that has been developed over the years. When he cleaned up the things in the house, he looked at the empty teahouse again, and some sorrow poured out inexplicably in his heart.
"Hey. He sighed, and thought to himself: I don't know if I will be able to return here in my lifetime.
After a few breaths, he still collected his mood and walked up the steps. He was about to close the door of his teahouse, but at this moment, a hand suddenly reached in from the outside and blocked him from closing the door.
Guo Que was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the face of the person who came, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
The person who came was a man dressed as three or five officers, and the leader was even more big-shouldered and round-waisted, with thick eyebrows, and at first glance he was a ruffian who had been rolling in the army for many years.
There is a way that the people do not fight with the officials, and Guo Que instinctively feels that the arrivals are not good.
He lowered his head and said again and again: "This military master, the shop is closed, if you want to drink tea, come back tomorrow." ”
"Boss Guo usually closes at the end of the day, but now it's only time for the unitary, why is he in a hurry to close? Don't you look down on our General Chang?" At this time, a man dressed as a non-commissioned officer next to the officer said in a strange manner.
Guo Que felt that this voice was a little familiar, and he couldn't help but look up, only to see that this person was actually a guy in his shop. A few days ago, he quit his job and joined the army of the imperial court, but he didn't want to bring this general in his mouth to his teahouse today.
Guo Que asked himself that when this guy was working at home, although he was not very rich with him, he had never been treated badly. He brought this General Chang to his teahouse, what was his intention?
But the matter has come to this point, and he naturally does not dare to shirk it anymore.
"Since the general wants to drink tea, please come in over there. So saying, he led the people to sit down in the teahouse, and was about to retire to the back room to bring some tea with them.
But at this time, the leader of the general, Chang stretched out his hand to stop Guo Que's movements.
"No need. The general Chang said.
"Huh?" Guo Que was stunned, puzzled. In the past few days, he has come to the teahouse viciously, but he has not been drinking tea, so what is the so-called thing? He has always been a human being, and he really can't understand how he has done anything to collide with these military masters.
He couldn't help but cast a distressed glance at his former buddy, hoping that he would help him in his former love.
And the fellow did step out when he felt his gaze.
I saw him cough twice, and he was about to say something.
But these words are not life-saving words, but evil words that harm people's lives.
"Boss Guo, have you made a fortune recently?" said the guy, looking Guo Que up and down.
Guo Que was shocked when he heard this, and then looked at the greed hidden in the eyes of these soldiers, and suddenly guessed a little bit of the intention of these people.
"I... I'm a small business... How can the things of wealth have anything to do with me? He hurriedly denied it.
"But I heard that a few days ago, someone saw you send a hundred taels of silver to Mr. Hu in Zhenxi, what is the explanation here?" The young man seemed to have expected Guo Que to have such a reaction, he raised his eyebrows, and said slowly.
"This..."Guo Que didn't want this matter to be known to them, and his heart became more and more flustered, and he knew how to respond for a while.
Syllable!
But at this moment, there was a loud bang, and the general Chang snapped the wooden table beside him, and the simple wooden table turned into pieces and exploded under his palm.
Guo Que He had seen such a scene, his body shook, as if he was scared to the extreme.
"Small... Small... Just go get it. How dare he say more than half a word, trembling and retreating to the counter, taking out a package in a secret pavilion, rummaging through the package for a while, and finally taking out a bulging money bag, trembling and handing him to the hand of the general surnamed Chang.
The general surnamed Chang glanced at Guo Que coldly, put the money bag in his hand and weighed it, and his cold face finally showed a touch of joy. He kicked it in his arms without missing a trace, turned his head to look at Guo Que again, and asked, "Tell me, where did this silver tael come from?" ”
Although Guo Que felt sorry for this money, he also knew that it was important to save his life at this moment, so he hurriedly brought about the silver that Su Changan gave him, but subconsciously hid the conversation between Su Changan, Hua Fei, and Luo Yuer.
"Hmph, for no reason, how could someone give you so much silver taels!" Hearing this, the general surnamed Chang stood up suddenly, and murderous intent appeared in his cold eyes.
Guo Que was shocked, and secretly knew that a catastrophe was coming.
Hearing only a plop, his body knelt down suddenly, and shouted in his mouth: "Little wrong, small wrong!"
But when the words fell, he only felt a cold light in front of him, and when the blood appeared, he completely lost his meaning.
His body slammed to the ground like a puppet that had lost its string, and his head turned into a ball that rolled on the ground before slowly stopping. It's just that there is still unwillingness and resentment in his eyes that have not yet dissipated.
"Guo Que, traitor and collaborator with the enemy, ambushed on the spot. The non-commissioned officer surnamed Chang shook off the blood stains on the knife and said in a cold voice. Then, the long knife was returned to its sheath, and the body took a big stride, and walked away without looking back.
......
Night gradually enveloped Whitehorse, and the early summer rain came and went, pouring down with lightning and thunder, turning the already barren Whitehorse Town into a pool of mud.
The army of Shu is pressing, and the rainy night has always been the best opportunity to rob the camp, and the god general stationed in White Horse Town obviously realized this, and he transferred more soldiers to the city, and for a while, the transfer of the sergeants and soldiers in White Horse Town became more and more frequent.
It's just that no one noticed, or noticed, but they were willing to pay attention to it, a corpse with a separate head in a teahouse.
Some people are dead.
This is the way of the world, people always have to think about themselves.
No one will offend someone who should not be offended for the sake of a dead person.
If you can't do it yourself, why should you care about others?
But no one noticed that a figure walked into this teahouse on this rainy night.
He walked through the crowd, through the curtain of rain.
But neither the rain nor the people seemed to have ever noticed him.
The soldiers did not question his origins, nor did the rain curtain wet the corners of his clothes.
Like a ghost, he slowly walked into the teahouse.
Then, he stopped, and he looked up and down the teahouse, and finally fixed his gaze on the corpse.
He paused for a moment, as if pondering something.
After a few breaths, he walked over to the head and gently picked it up.
"I went all the way from Chang'an to Youzhou to repay every share of karma I owed. ”
"It took me a year, and it was always a little bit off. ”
"It took me a long time to realize that you had saved me in Youzhou back then, but you did it unintentionally, but it achieved my life. ”
"This is the cause you have sown, and it is the fruit of what I owe you. ”
"I was supposed to pay it back, but you have gone west, and it stands to reason that the cause and effect are over, but I always feel uneasy in my heart. ”
The man said this, his voice flat, as if he were talking to himself.
He was silent for a moment, as if he were thinking about how to reassure himself.
"My name is Guo San, and your name is Guo Que. Since you are dead, I owe you some cause and effect, if from now on, I will change to Guo Que. ”
"I'll take you... And live. ”
When the man said this, he gently lowered the head in his hand. Then he stood up and walked again into the rain curtain.
On that day, the town of Whitehorse was attacked in a very strange way.
A commander surnamed Chang, along with more than 980 people under his command, were all killed overnight, but no one had ever seen the appearance of the murderer.
On that day, in the dark, rainy night, a star lit up.
It's called Dimensity.
On that day, a person stepped on the night and finally embarked on the road to Xiliang.
