048 Old Friends Reunited
The Yellow Wind Monster was talking about Zai Xingtou at the time, but when he looked up, he found Jiang Shan's face full of anger, and he was immediately frightened again, and hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed his head fiercely and begged for mercy: "Please uncle, please calm your anger! In fact, the situations just described are not what I want to do, they are all ordered by a general of the Qin army to do this! Just now I was just to show off my ability, and it was all said to be my own ability, I didn't expect to make the uncle angry again!" Please also ask the uncle to forgive the villain's mistakes, and the villain will have to save his life to take care of Cui'er in the future!"
Cui'er seemed to have discovered the crisis at this time, and immediately lay on the ground together to help the Yellow Wind Monster intercede. At this time, of course, Jiang Shan was in no mood to pay attention to their affairs, so after forcing the Yellow Wind Monster to slaughter those wolf dogs, he told him to take good care of Cui'er, otherwise he would come over to understand the situation, so he took Xue'er and his mother away.
In the face of Jiangshan's instructions, the Yellow Wind Monster naturally agreed to it and did not make the slightest discount. Cui'er was able to get the approval of the man who possessed her, and at the same time let her family be free, so she was naturally quite happy, so she was also reluctant to give up on Xue'er and Jiangshan.
Although the next road was relatively safe, but since the incident, Jiangshan no longer dared to be careless, so they moved forward cautiously and headed all the way towards Yan Kingdom.
After a long journey of eighty-five days, they finally arrived at the shore of Yishui on this day. Jiang Shan recalled that when he and his master traveled all the way west, several of them used to be alive and vigorous, and now only he and his wife are back, which is really sentimental, so he can't help but shed sad tears.
"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man can return it when he goes west?" Unexpectedly, when Jiangshan was sad about what happened to him, someone suddenly sang generously and sadly.
Jiang Shan and Xue'er were taken aback when they heard this, "In such an era of war and chaos, how can anyone sing this familiar song here?
Jiang Shan listened to this familiar singing, and the thoughts in his heart immediately rippled like a lake blown by a breeze, so he immediately shouted: "Is it Brother Gao? Is Brother Gao singing? Please come out for a gathering!"
"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man has returned to the west!" Obviously, the man was also quite familiar with the rivers and mountains, and after the loud shouts of the rivers and mountains, he immediately walked out of the pavilion by the river with high-pitched music, and a blind man with a cane came out.
"Is it Senior Brother?" Of course, Jiang Shan refused to believe that the ragged rogue in front of him was the high-spirited Gao Yuanli at the beginning, so he immediately asked in surprise.
"Is it Shaoxia? Is it really Shaoxia who is back?" I didn't expect that the ragged rogue actually recognized Jiang Shan, but I saw him ask with a trembling voice.
At this time, Jiang Shan naturally could no longer doubt it, because through the voice, he had already concluded that the old haggard person in front of him was the high-spirited Gao Yuanli at the beginning. "How did you become like this, could it be that someone hurt you?" The words were deeply incomprehensible and caring, and then he affectionately pulled Gao and gradually left and returned to the pavilion to sit down.
"It's hard to say! It's hard to say it! Now that I can mix up like this, it's a good result, and there are even worse ones than me! It's just that you haven't seen it!" Gao Yanli remembered the past, and couldn't help but feel sad again.
"May I ask Brother Gao, what happened? Can I make Brother Gao so down!" Jiang Shan couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Gao gradually leaving that sad appearance.
"I don't know if Shaoxia has come all the way east, have you heard something about our Yan Kingdom?" Before Gao gradually left to recount the past, he didn't expect to ask sadly in advance.
"We heard that the crown prince has been given to the Qin State by King Yan, is it all true?" Jiang Shan looked at Gao Yanli earnestly, he really hoped that the news at the beginning was all fake.
Gao Yanli did not answer Jiang Shan's question, and at this time, I saw him crying vigorously, and it seemed that he was more sad than before. What else can Jiang Shan say? It seems that those legends are true. "This Qin State is certainly hateful, but this Yan King is too useless!" Jiang Shan said, angrily waving his palm on the boulder beside him.
"Shaoxia, please calm your anger, in fact, it's no wonder that our Yan King, he has always been very weak, in the face of the coercion of the powerful Qin State, he can exchange his son's life for the peace of the entire Yan Kingdom, which is also commendable!" Gao Yanli said sincerely.
"Even so, he can't send the crown prince out of the country! he is really too stupid, how can he not see the wolf ambition of the Qin State?" Jiang Shan said angrily although he was much calmer.
"What's so strange about this, who of us who was born into the emperor's family can control our own destiny? But for the sake of our country, we are all willing to sacrifice our lives. I believe that if King Qin needs me, I will also come forward!" At this time, I didn't expect Xue'er to walk out of the carriage while talking, so she came to the pavilion.
"I didn't know that the princess had arrived! Please forgive the villain's rudeness!" Gao Yanli heard Xue'er's voice, and immediately recognized that it was the princess of Yan Kingdom standing in front of him, so he immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Brother Gao doesn't have to be formal, we are all our own people, why do we have to see the outside world like this? What's more, I'm not a princess of Yan Country now, I'm just a wanderer who has ruined a country!" Although Xue'er's narration was quite affectionate, it was also quite sad.
"The necessary etiquette must still be had! The princess must not say these discouraged words, as long as our subjects have the Yan Kingdom in their hearts, I believe that we will have the day when the country will be restored! Therefore, the Yan Kingdom will always be in our hearts, and the princess will always be in our hearts!" Although Gao Yuanli said it humbly, he was also quite impassioned.
"What time is it now, I think you don't have to waste time on those red tape Lang anymore, let's talk about the current situation!" Jiang Shan saw that the two of them were chattering endlessly, and immediately interrupted their politeness in a hurry.
"Okay, let's stop being polite about these boring things, now let's talk about why your eyes are blind?" Xue'er was also quite concerned about Gao Yuanli, so she immediately grasped the point of the question and asked.
"Alas, how are you blind? Isn't this because the prince is too sad to leave?" Gao Yanli couldn't help but feel sad again as he spoke, thinking of those sad pasts.
Jiang Shan thought to himself: "It's hard for this loyal Gao to leave, how can he alone reverse the fate of this Yan Kingdom? ”
"How did my brother die, and what happened to him in the Qin Kingdom?" Xue'er couldn't help but ask urgently again in order to get a definite answer.
Hearing Xue'er's question, Gao Yanli first wiped away his tears, and then controlled his emotions and said: "After the army of the Qin State destroyed the Zhao State, they drove the army to our border line. Later, we learned that Lu Dao was Jing Ke's plan to assassinate Qin and failed, and Qin came to take revenge in order to relieve the anger in his heart. So we sent envoys to various countries to ask for help, but unexpectedly, the rest of the countries could not help but send troops, and the prince of Zhao also persuaded our king to hand over the prince Dan. The prince was very anxious after knowing the way, but there was no way, and then the king used a trick to catch the prince!"
"What happened to the prince after his father grabbed him?" Although those things were long gone, Xue'er still couldn't help but ask eagerly.
"What else can I do? Of course, the prince disobeyed, he knew the wolf ambitions of the Qin State. Later, the king could not convince the prince, so he secretly killed him and sent the prince's head to the hands of the Qin army. Gao gradually left the thought of those pasts, and immediately recounted them even more sadly.
"They got the head of the crown prince, so did the Qin army retreat?" Xue'er asked with still concern.
"At that time, it may be that they could not supply food, and they withdrew after receiving the head of the crown prince. Gao replied angrily. "But what I didn't expect was that those wolf ambitions of the Qin army didn't take long to come back!"
"These wolf-hearted things, I can't imagine that they are so rebellious, if there is a chance, I must make them pay the price they deserve!" Jiang Shan said indignantly at this time.
"What is happening to our Yan Kingdom now, are they all okay with my father and king?" Xue'er heard that Qin Jun was coming over again, and immediately became anxious, so she asked with more concern.
"Now that the king and the others have all withdrawn from the capital and fled to Liaodong, I don't know if they can finally escape the pursuit of the Qin army!" Gao Yanli said sadly.
"In that case, why don't you stay by the king's side, why are you running here?" Xue'er asked puzzled as she looked at Gao Yuanli.
"The princess knows that I am the prince's person, although the king of Zhilu Dao killed the prince to save the entire Yan Kingdom, but I don't think it is right to do so, so after the prince died, I left the palace and wandered around. Gao gradually left the face of Princess Xue'er's questioning at this time, and suddenly became guilty, very sad that he could not finally be loyal to the king.
"Although my father did not do it right, but he is the king of our Yan Kingdom after all, I want to go and see him, I wonder if you are willing to go with me?"
Where did Jiang Shan not understand what Xue'er meant in her heart? Where did she visit King Yan, she hoped that Jiang Shan would rescue her father! Although Jiang Shan was the boss's reluctance, Xue'er was his mentor after all, and one of the few relatives in this world, could he not agree to her? Of course he couldn't.
Since Jiang Shan agreed to Xue'er's request, it was naturally impossible for Gao Yanli to shirk it, so several of them immediately drove the carriage together and continued to advance towards the hinterland of Yan Kingdom.
Along the way, I saw the prosperity of the past again, only to see burned houses everywhere and dead bodies everywhere. They drove seventy or eighty miles in a row, but they couldn't find a restaurant that was still open, so they had to get some food at a farmhouse.
Seeing the scene of burning, killing and looting everywhere, Jiang Shan was really anxious at this time, even more anxious than Xue'er before! Jiang Shan had always been worried about whether the Xuantie Ruthless Sword was still with the swordsmith. Do you think that the Qin army is going to snatch even a chicken at this time, can they still let go of that priceless sword? Of course, they can't.
It has always been crazy for Jiangshan to be in a hurry, and this time is of course no exception. I saw that he waved the horsewhip as dense as raindrops, and in less than half a day, the two key horses that were driving were beaten by him to the flesh. Later, the horse was prostrate, and Jiangshan bought some more horses to replace them, still in a crazy hurry.
Xue'er thought that Jiang Shan was anxious about her father, so she always encouraged him gratefully. In this way, after changing horses more than 30 times, they finally arrived at the capital of Yan Kingdom.
At this time, the Qin army had just broken the city, so the order in the city was very chaotic. Jiangshan was afraid that the Qin army would find out about them, so he didn't dare to bring Xue'er and them into the city, so he had to find a family in the countryside to arrange them down.
After everything was arranged, Jiangshan took advantage of the chaos to enter the city. Originally, Xue'er was also going to follow up, but Jiang Shan considered the safety of Yan'er and Gao Yuanli, so he persuaded her to stay outside the city.
The burning, killing and looting in the city, Jiang Shan didn't care, after he entered the city, he rushed directly to Mrs. Xu's residence, but who knew that he was still a step late. Although Mrs. Xu was still at home, he was no longer breathing. Jiang Shan carefully observed everything around him, and he found that all of Mrs. Xu's weapons had been looted, and in addition to Mrs. Xu, there were dozens of corpses of soldiers of the Qin Army lying on the ground, and there was no way to find the shadow of the Xuantie Ruthless Sword.
