Chapter 143: Mind Transforms Apricot Forest
Zhao Xuan looked at Luan Yizhen thoughtfully, then at Zhou Tong, and the dozen or so carriages behind Zhou Tong, and said with a smile: "According to Brother Luan's meaning, the goods on these carriages are the stuff of Duan Wang Zhao Ji?
Luan Yizhen nodded happily and said, "The Taoist is a god, I didn't expect that before I could say it, the Taoist would have calculated it! Yes, the purpose of my coming today is to rob this thing as the Taoist said." As long as King Duan no longer trusts him at that time, hmph, look at how he still works for the dog official!" After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Tong proudly.
Zhou Tong smiled bitterly: "Senior brother's heart, how can senior brother not understand? What's more, King Duan has the grace to save my life. He ordered me to escort this thing, so even if I don't want my life, I must escort it back!"
"You!" Luan was angry, his eyes widened, and he said, "Then let's see if you are powerful or I am powerful!"
Zhao Xuan coughed dryly twice, and said busily: "Why should Luan Daxia be anxious, although your senior brother has become an official, he has not violated the morality of the rivers and lakes. On the contrary, you are not behaving very authentically. The matter has come to this point, why do you have to get along with him? It's a big deal, go your own way, everyone has their own difficulties, after all, your senior brother is not easy. ”
Zhou Tong glanced at Zhao Xuan gratefully, he also had no way to take him as a junior brother. Luan Yizhen has an upright temperament, and if he determines something, it is useless for others to persuade him. Although he knew that Zhao Xuan's words were also useless. But the two are just getting to know each other. Zhao Xuan was able to understand his difficulties. How could he not be happy?
Clasped his hands into fists and thanked Zhao Xuan. Only then did he turn to his junior brother again and said sincerely: "Senior Brother Luan, I understand what you said, and I also understand your hard work. You just don't want your brother to be infamous on your back. But if you think about it, I have promised King Duan to escort these things back, if I can't do it, why don't I not believe it? King Duan has a life-saving grace for me. Now that I am on duty under King Duan, if I listen to your advice and throw these goods here and do not return to my post, will I not be disloyal?
"This ......" Luan Yizhen was suddenly stunned, he had never thought about it like this. For him, he simply thinks that it is wrong for his senior brother to take refuge in Duanwang as an official, and he has lost his identity as a Jianghu person. Fear of being laughed at by others. But I never thought that if I didn't go, there would be any infamy.
Standing stunned for a long time, he suddenly scratched his head. He looked at Zhao Xuan and asked, "Daoist, is what Senior Brother said right?"
For him, if he doesn't understand, he has to ask. Zhao Xuan is a Taoist priest, and his master is a monk, and he can't trust his senior brother now, so he can only ask Zhao Xuan, the guy he met for the first time. And the identity of the Taoist priest added a lot of credibility to his heart.
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at this.
He can see that this Luan Yizhen is a bastard, stunned, and has the same character as Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms.
Seeing that Luan Yizhen scratching his head, he looked stupid, but he was still looking at himself with a serious face. It seems that there are some big questions waiting to be answered. Zhao Xuan said with a smile: "What your senior brother said does have several truths. Let's not say that he doesn't have the heart of fame, even if he really wants fame and admiration for glory and wealth, that is his choice. Why do you have to embarrass him, and at the same time embarrass yourself?"
Originally, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he could do it casually.
Luan Yizhen didn't know that he was just casually explaining, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and thought seriously.
The officers and soldiers and bandits on the side had long since stopped fighting at this time, holding their blades and looking at their respective leaders, waiting for them to decide.
It is undeniable that if they could, no one would want to die in battle.
Seeing that Luan Yizhen thought for a long time, he muttered: "Could it be that I was wrong? Is it really that I am wrong?"
Zhao Xuan looked at him fixedly, and had to say that Luan Yiji's brainless character was a hard injury. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have led hundreds of people to besiege his senior brother because of such a trivial matter. But everything is good and bad, and a tendon character like Luan Yiqi is not necessarily without benefits. But Zhao Xuan's heart at this time was not on this matter.
He didn't care about Luan Yiji's personality, and even Zhou Tong, he was just curious. As for the battle between the two, he was just watching it with a lively mentality at first.
However, with the development of events, he couldn't help but have another view on the "farce" between the two: The rivers and lakes will never have real right and wrong, and the rivers and lakes will never be the rivers and lakes of one person!
As he said before, Luan Yizhen and Zhou Tong have no one who is right or wrong, and there is no one who is right or wrong. Luan Yiji's behavior seems to be for Zhou Tong's good, but as Zhou Tong said, if he really doesn't repay his kindness, he will be no different from a villain. And Luan Yiji's behavior is not wrong, after all, his starting point is indeed for Zhou Tong's good, if Zhou Tong gives up his official position, even if it is "ungrateful" in a sense, his reputation in the rivers and lakes will definitely not be bad.
is like Xiao Feng, who is obviously a hero, but he was slandered by the people of the rivers and lakes as a villain who does all kinds of evil. It can be seen that there are many fools on the rivers and lakes, and the concepts of good and evil, right and wrong are extremely distorted.
Perhaps for some Jianghu people, including some martial arts celebrities, they all think that only their rivers and lakes are the real rivers and lakes, if it goes against their will, or exceeds their point of view, then the other party is a real villain and a bad guy!
This is no different from some "gentlemen" in later generations who stood on the moral high ground and criticized others.
It's a pity that they don't know that a true gentleman never blames others.
In addition to this, there is also the cognition of rivers and lakes.
As the saying goes, "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes", Zhao Xuan didn't know these before. But he always subconsciously ignores this problem. I only thought that where there was a protagonist, there were rivers and lakes, and even the previous battle of the bright top of the Condor World did not slow down. I didn't think about it until now. These worlds. Except for the main character. There is never a shortage of stories on the rivers and lakes.
The plot around the protagonist is the plot, isn't the plot around the other little people the plot?
is also like the enmity and enmity on the top of the light, really don't have to be wonderful in the original plot?
It seems that his previous vision was too narrow, and he only cared about following the plot, and didn't pay attention to the subtle things that happened around him. However, seeing the truth in the ordinary, do you want to change your style of life in the future?
Take Tianlong Babu as an example, all the plots revolve around Duan Yu, Xiao Feng, and Xuzhu. But is there really no one else in this world but them?
Where is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?
It is true that Duan Yu, Xiao Feng, and Xu Zhu are the protagonists, and it is true that changing their fate is like changing the will of heaven. But is providence really limited to these three people? If you change the background of the world, they are really still the protagonists?
Just like the world in front of him, now Zhezong is in power, because he has no children under his knees and died too early, he was passed to the empress to Huizong after his death. What if you let Zhezong have a son? What if you kill Huizong in advance? And ...... The reason why Empress Xiang did not adopt Zhang Chun's Jianyì and established Zhao seems to be the emperor is recorded in history because Zhao seems to have an eye disease. If he cured Zhao's eye disease, Empress Xiang would have an affair with Huizong. But does she still have an excuse to reject public opinion and insist on establishing Huizong as the emperor?
I have to say that as soon as this idea appeared in Zhao Xuan's mind. It's like a storm, completely filling his heart, and it's hard to shake off no matter what. If it is really as he thinks, maybe history can be changed, the Northern Song Dynasty will no longer perish, and the Southern Song Dynasty will no longer appear, so that the background of the whole world will completely deviate from the development track. It's just that this possibility is extremely small, and you can think of it with your toes, just changing the fate of the child of luck (the protagonist) will be damned, not to mention changing the background of the world!
But if you don't try, how do you know if you can't succeed?
For a while, a crazy thought rose in Zhao Xuan's heart.
Meanwhile!
Wuxi
In the apricot forest
A large crowd of beggars surrounded an open space, and in the open space stood more than a dozen people. Especially one of them, who is very burly, stands out from the crowd. This person is about 30 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and a square face with Chinese characters. The old gray cloth robe, which was slightly tattered, and had three knife wounds, suddenly appeared on his body. There are three swords and six holes, but they are the punishment of the three elders of Song, Chen, and Wu who want to overthrow his position as the leader of the gang.
The three elders of Song, Chen, and Wu listened to the instigation of others and betrayed Xiao Feng, which was no different from betraying the beggar gang. It stands to reason that "the great crime of betraying the gang must not be forgiven, and even if there is great merit, it cannot be redeemed", since these three people have betrayed the gang, they should all apologize with death. But the beggar gang also has a gang rule: "The disciples of this gang shall not be pardoned lightly if they violate the rules, and if the gang leader is tolerant, he must also shed his own blood to wash away his crimes." Xiao Feng ignored his previous suspicions, and replaced the three elders with three knives and six holes to be punished, and everyone present was full of admiration.
Duan Yu stood together with Wang Yuyan, Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Bao Wei, and the turmoil, looking at the newly married eldest brother in the field, he was also excited, and he couldn't wait to talk to him again. But it didn't work out, things are often twists and turns, and there are many setbacks. The agitated mood on his side has not calmed down, but there is first Elder Xu Chongxiao, followed by Ma Dayuan's widow Mrs. Ma, Tan Gong and Tan Po of Chongxiao Cave in Taihang Mountain, Tan Po's senior brother Zhao Qiansun, Taishan Wuxiong, Shan Zheng, Monk Zhiguang, and others arrived in turn.
Mrs. Nama took Ma Dayuan's suicide note and a letter, which stated that if Ma Dayuan died, the letter would be immediately handed over to the elders of the beggars to read. Therefore, Mrs. Ma handed over the letter to Elder Xu Chongxiao Xu. Elder Xu opened the letter and found that the handwriting in the letter was very strong, and the recipient of the letter was "Brother Jian's Hair" - and the alias of Wang Jiantong, the former leader of the beggar gang, and the signature at the end of the letter was amazing.
Under the attention of everyone, Zhao Qiansun, Tan Gong, Tan Po, Zhiguang and many other people who know the inside story jointly revealed a secret: Thirty years ago, outside Yanmen Pass, there was a bloody battle in front of the Rocky Valley! (To be continued......)
