0662 Life hangs by a thread

As soon as these words came out, the most violent reaction of several people in the hall was not Qian Feng, but Feng Rong next to him.

His eyes were full of consternation, his lips couldn't close together, he looked at Qian Feng in disbelief, and then looked at the old man opposite.

Today's Zhao Guozhong, although his family has a little bit of property, but to be honest, the situation is not much better than those servants who are not able to do their own thing, but they are the real bottom, and they will collapse at any time. Therefore, they are extremely sensitive to every possible help and must strive for it.

He knew what kind of twists and turns he had gone through to stand in this hall, and he had paid an almost unbearable price. However, he didn't expect that he still underestimated Mr. Qian, who was trying his best to entrap him, and it was obvious that the old man in front of him and Mr. Qian were old acquaintances.

And such a situation is beyond his cognition. In addition to the consternation, there was also a sense of horror in his heart, as if the origin of this Mr. Qian was far beyond the limit of what his family could bear. Reluctantly going to the cage, it is like a boy walking in the downtown with a lot of money in his arms, and the slightest wind and grass may cause unbearable disasters.

After recognizing the identity of the old man, Qian Feng's expression did not change much, and he couldn't make too rich expressions on his face, coupled with his deep scheming, he was able to control his expression very well. So although his expression hasn't changed much, he has actually set off a storm in his heart.

Taking the initiative to undertake the task of going north, Qian Feng is ready to face all uncertainties and accidents. However, the meeting with the old man in front of him was still unexpected, which was really beyond his expectations.

Facing the old man's increasingly intimidating gaze, Qian Feng had many thoughts in his mind, and he was silent for a long time before he finally made a decision, first smiled at Feng Rong and comforted him a little, and then met the old man's more fiery gaze, bowed deeply and then said: "Feng Ben is humble, and he is going to the north in a poor way, but he didn't expect to be able to see Liu Gong, so it is difficult to express his words when he meets again." ”

"Ha, haha, Qian Shiyi, it's really you...... Sure enough, it's you! ”

Hearing Qian Feng's answer, the old man's reaction suddenly became violent, every wrinkle and every hair on his face was trembling violently, he waved his arms, his posture was like a naughty boy, and his jumping legs were not old, but his eyes were staring at Qian Feng in front of him.

However, in those eyes, there was no joy of reunion, only resentment that was so thick that it could not be dissolved, as if it were a substance. It was almost mad, and it made the viewer tremble. Qian Feng, who was in front of him, just hung his head and stood silently, his scarred face was extremely flat, and there was only a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Money......"

Seeing this, Feng Rong was already shocked in his heart, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the old man on the other side roared suddenly, his trembling fingers pointed at Qian Feng, and his tone trembled: "Someone!" Tie this traitor to me, and don't let them get away!" ”

Outside the foyer, more than a dozen slaves instantly poured in, and when they heard the old man's roar, they jumped up and threw the two of them to the ground. Feng Rong was still struggling subconsciously, but he was not a brave man, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't usher in a few old punches and kicks. As for Qian Feng, it was like an appointment, and he was pounced on by someone without the slightest struggle.

When both of them were tightly tied up by the back-cut arms, their shoulders and backs were heavily pressed, and they knelt on both knees, and their heads could not be lifted.

At this time, the old man's mood regained his calm a little, paced to Qian Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his hand to grab his bun hair and pulled his head up, looking directly at Qian Feng's scarred face, his expression was a lot of changes, there were already slight tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, and his tone was also vicissitudes: "The sky has never abandoned me, I don't mean that I can get what I want in my lifetime!" ”

"Qian Shiyi, Qian Shiyi...... I've always dreamed of it, you know? I have never dreamed of holding you traitor, holding on to your sword, and devouring your flesh and blood! Providence has mercy on me, and at last you have fallen into my hands as a traitor! ”

When Qian Feng heard this, the corners of his mouth became more sneering, and he squeezed out a smile with a little difficulty: "Hearing what Gong Liu said, Feng is really lucky." However, after carefully examining the old grievances, Liu Gong's sigh is still a big mistake. If there is really mercy from God's will, Liu Gong is the one he wants to see the most, but I'm afraid it's not Feng? ”

When the old man heard this, his face involuntarily swelled with resentment and shame, and he raised his hand and slapped it on Qian Feng's face, and then sighed and said, "Yes, you are right." You Qian Shiyi, but a raccoon dog thief in Nanxiang, a beast with a false crown, even if the old man has hatred, he doesn't have to remember you as a traitor who aids in abuse! ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity that the old man is a little unlucky after all, he can't punish the thief on behalf of the sky, and he can't be a traitor who can't overlord the master, and he hates it in this life! However, although the king thief is dead, you, the raccoon dog, will one day fall into my hands, and I can also give a little comfort. Haha......"

Seeing that the old man's emotions became excited again, Qian Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he had no lack of wisdom, he still had to succumb to his fate after all. Such a coincidence has happened to me, and the so-called perverse fate is not enough to express.

In the current world, hundreds of miles away is a distant country, and the local sound is hard to find. And Qian Feng's Xiangguo is more than 100 miles away from Jiangdong, and his ancestors have not set foot here, so he never expected that he would be able to see his old acquaintance just after coming to Xiangguo. And when you see it, it's a life-and-death feud!

The old man in front of him is named Liu Kui, and he is one of the former ministers of Emperor Jiangdong Yuan. In his early years, Qian Feng was subordinate to General Wang Dun, and the first time General Wang rebelled was in the name of crusading against Liu Kui as a soldier, and Chen Qi's ten crimes.

The result of that civil strife was that General Wang won a complete victory, and the two people of Emperor Lai Zhi of the Yuan Dynasty divided the power of the Wang family, Liu Kui ran to the north, and Diao Xie fled to ambush on the way. Therefore, they can be described as a sea of blood feud with each other.

Liu Kui Beitou, although there are occasional rumors in Jiangdong that his people are used in the court, but no one knows what the specific situation is. Therefore, Qian Feng reunited with Liu Kui here, and had to sigh that he was really unlucky to the extreme, and even suspected that he was really a traitor who was disgusted and wanted to play for creation!

The person who knows you best will always be the enemy. Qian Feng and Liu Kui have not seen each other for more than ten years, and in this process, his appearance, situation, including mood and temperament have changed greatly.

But in fact, when General Wang and Liu Kui framed each other, Qian Feng had not been fully reused under Wang Dun, and he had only seen Liu Kui a few times. And at that time, Liu Kui's ruling dignity may not pay attention to his inconspicuous subordinate.

But it is these few faces, Liu Kui can actually remember himself in his heart, and he can recognize it at a glance after a long absence. It can be imagined that Liu Kui has a deep resentment for what happened back then!

So at the moment, Qian Feng can really only smile bitterly.

After cursing, Liu Kui looked at Qian Feng again, his eyes were already full of schadenfreude, he looked at the crisscrossing scars on Qian Feng's face, and his mouth was already slurking: "Qian Shiyi in his early years, although he was only humble in Wu Township, his demeanor was also impressive. How did this become the case today? Looking like a ghost, there is no human body, does it feel like a sin, but also feel faceless in the world? Faceless to see the ancestors? ”

"The phoenix's injury is just a skin. What Liu Gong lost was his muscles and bones, worshipping the court, and being a slave. If he kills himself, Feng is still inferior to Liu Gong. They are all remnants of the catastrophe, so why bother to hurt each other! ”

"You raccoon dog, thief, beast, and beast deserve to discuss with me!"

When Liu Kui heard this, his eyes were already split, and he raised his foot and kicked Qian Feng's chest, but after all, he was old and weak, and this kick only made Qian Feng's body sway slightly, and he did not fall.

After a while, he glared at Qian Feng again and sneered: "Who is the old man, you don't need to be a raccoon dog slave or not, no matter how you go south and north, the world is heavy." As for you, Qian Shiyi, how did you get to where you are today? You fled north to this point, and you think that Jiangdong has nowhere to stand, and you want to enslave the north? ”

"Although the king and thief are condemned by heaven, they will bring their own death! But what about your fellow countryman Shen Chong? Although I am in a distant country, I also know that the world style in Jiangdong is still contrary, and the traitors of the Shen family have not been victimized and are still visible in Jiangdong. Why didn't he give you a foothold? Both of you are servile thieves, why doesn't he help you anymore and let you, the dog of the dead household, wander outside? ”

The great joy of life is that you are worry-free, but you see the hateful and death-hungry enemy fall into the dust, and the day is precarious. Therefore, Liu Kui is in a happy mood at the moment, and he is extremely capable of ridicule. He was originally born in Pengcheng Wangzong, and there were people in both the north and south, so he was not so shallow, but he really had too much resentment in his heart, if he didn't do so, it would be difficult to eliminate the resentment that had accumulated like a stubborn stone in his heart.

When Qian Feng heard this, he was silent, thinking about how to deal with it. He is a person who is accustomed to taking risks and committing treachery, and he always has great evil in his heart, which is why he has a ruthlessness that never gives up no matter what kind of predicament he faces. The current situation is a desperate situation for ordinary people, but he still has a desire to survive.

Of course, Qian Feng also knows that now his life and death are only between Liu Kui's thoughts, but the grudges between each other can never be resolved by begging bitterly. His eyes swept over Feng Rong, who was lying on the ground, and had already fainted because he was already agitated, and his mind only moved occasionally.

"Today's evil is the redress for the sins of yesterday. What happened in the past, and why Liu Gong was doomed, there is no need to discuss it in detail. In the early years, Feng was used as a general, and he made suggestions, lest he not use it, and today he is innocent, which is a paradox. The matter has come to this, Feng is not a little dust in the court, Liu Gong either kills or chops, all of them are taken from one thought, and he does not dare to complain. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Feng had already bowed his head deeply, and sighed abruptly: "Flesh and blood lives are all here, if this life can slow down Liu Gong's grievances a little, it is also a humble blessing for the people in the distant countryside." Jiangdong accumulated grievances, and it was a normal state in this rebellious world. ”

After finishing speaking, Qian Feng closed his eyes and stopped talking, looking like he was waiting for death.

"Raccoon dog thieves deserve to die, but if you want to die quickly, it is an extravagant hope! The old man's hatred in this body, today I finally have the opportunity to fall into your evil thief's body, how can I let you die simply. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Kui had already held the sharp blade in one hand and put it on Qian Feng's left shoulder, and with a sinking wrist, the sharp blade had already cut through the robe and clothes, cutting a bloody wound on the shoulder. He raised his knife and licked the blood, a cold voice like crying and laughing in his throat.

"This flesh and blood, born in Wu Township, although he has been running here for a long time, he has not been contaminated with the dust of the north for a long time, I don't know if Liu Gong can enter? Do you have feelings? ”

Hearing the sound in his ears, Qian Feng opened his eyes again, his eyes were indifferent and fearless, and his tone was peaceful.

After Liu Kui heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he slashed at Qian Feng's leg, and blood seeped out of the hem of his clothes and flowed to the ground in an instant. Qian Feng's body trembled when he received this knife, but he quickly straightened his body again and looked straight ahead.

Seeing this scene, Liu Kui gradually calmed down, he stood in front of Qian Feng with a knife, stared at him for a long time, and said astringently after a long time: "Although Wu Di is not my hometown, all his achievements are dead in him." Although Lord Zhao is intimate in this realm, he often returns to Jiangdong in his dreams, you tell me how Jiangdong is after I go, and I will give you a good death. ”

When Qian Feng heard this, although his demeanor did not change, his heartstrings relaxed a little. He also no longer made a gesture, but started from after Wang Dun's first rebellion, how Emperor Ming worked hard, made great efforts to govern the country, and swept away the Wang forces in one fell swoop. And then how to calmly dispatch and balance the north and south. Except for his private affairs with the Shen family, the rest were not hidden, and they talked about it in detail.

Liu Kui gradually became fascinated when he heard this, waved his hand to let his family retreat, and guarded the door to prevent idlers from approaching. When he heard that Wang Dun was defeated, he couldn't help but hide his face and sigh: "The crown prince ...... Your Majesty is really young and promising, not inferior to the old style of Xuanjing! ”

However, soon, Qian Feng talked about the untimely death of Emperor Ming, and Yu Liang used power to force Su Jun. Although Liu Kui is far away in Xiangguo, he has heard a lot about these major events in Jiangdong, but he doesn't know as much as Qian Feng said.

At this time, he sounded even more excited, he paced back and forth in the hall, the hand holding the knife was already trembling frequently, and he waved the knife to stand on the desk, and then abandoned the knife to hide his face and cried: "Fortunately, the British lord, why don't you live long?" Could it be that God is tired of Jin Zuo...... Yu Liang is a traitor, since he is used by the country, why is he so stupid......"

Qian Feng knelt aside, seeing Liu Kui's state, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As for Liu Kui's insult to Yu Liang, he didn't think so. Both of these are highly regarded sages of the time, and there is no lack of prestige, but each of them has caused great harm to Koto in their own way. If you say that you are dizzy, it is not true, you are probably still blind, underestimate the sinister nature of the world, and you don't have enough ability to deal with it.

"Mingjun or power traitor, benefit the world or harm the world, all buried in the soil, the dead or heroic, the living are many and miserable. Fengben Wuzhong is a humble stream, fortunate to dance from the world, hard work, nothing, or one or two infamy, for me is also unsubtracted. Today, trespassing on the dead place, the old hasty is gone. Dying at the hands of Liu Gong is also the beginning of evil and the end of good, which can be described as no regrets. ”

Qian Feng's tone was lazy, as if he was born without love: "When you are dying, you have the courage to congratulate you a little." The mistakes of the past have been cast, and I dare not beg for my life. Fortunately, Liu Gong did not abandon himself because of the old harm, and he was still respected in the north, and he only hoped that Liu Gong could prosper in the world and be famous for a long time. Although Lord Zhao is a little thick, he can beg Liu Gong to miss the old friendship a little, and don't lead slaves across the river to harm. Words are endless, the meaning is far-reaching, one step ahead, if there is a spirit under the spring, and then make up for the old mistakes. ”

With that, he got up from the ground, stepped on the torn robe with the tips of his boots, lowered his head and wiped the blood on the ground, and smiled apologetically when he noticed Liu Kui looking at him, as if he was deeply sorry for defiling the other party's room.

"You, you...... Let's bet first. ”

Liu Kui sat for a long time, his mood was still immersed in the turbulent situation in Jiangdong in the past few years, and when he looked at Qian Feng again, his hatred had subsided a little, and his heart was also endlessly depressed, and he waved his hand and said weakly.

When Qian Feng was pulled down, Liu Kui sat down with a gloomy expression, the blood-stained sharp blade was lying across the table in front of him, and there was still a trace of bloody breath lingering on the tip of his nose. He sniffed a few times, and with some interest, he stroked out the sharp blade with his sleeve, and then sighed leisurely: "Maybe you have to be infamous for a few times...... I don't know if I'm in Jiangdong, what still exists now is infamy or reputation? The living are reluctant, and the living are reluctant to ......"

Not long after, the family quietly stepped into the hall, carefully sprinkling water to wash away the remaining blood on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Qian Feng's death-defying appearance just now appeared in Liu Kui's mind again, which made his mood a little more complicated. His mind had changed, but his lips and tongue were lazy, and after a while, he said astringently: "Go and ask a doctor to come and diagnose and treat the man's injuries." That's a rare brave man in Nanxiang, don't slack off. ”

The family was slightly stunned when they heard this, and then they bowed their heads and hurriedly stepped back to make arrangements.

On the second day, Liu Kui asked his family to bring Qian Feng over, sat in each other's seats, and then looked at Qian Feng, Liu Kui's eyes were already a little soft. Most of his resentment towards Qian Feng is still angry, in fact, he also understands in his heart that it was inevitable that Wang Dun wanted to get rid of him back then, but in fact, it had nothing to do with Qian Feng at all.

"The injuries have been taken care of?"

After sitting silently for a long time, Liu Kui pointed to Qian Feng's injury and asked, and then without waiting for Qian Feng to speak, he himself laughed at himself and said: "I have been holding grudges for a long time, but I had a gaffe yesterday, and I hope Shiyi will not complain about me." ”

Qian Feng didn't dare to slack off at this time, and after hearing this, he hurriedly staggered to avoid the table and bowed deeply: "Feng knows that he has committed a big crime, and he has lived so far, and there is no lack of self-loathing. ...... of the past"

"That's it, let's not talk about it. Now you and I are all remnants of evil who have died out of the country, and it is useless to talk about the old things. ”

Liu Kui waved his hand, interrupted Qian Feng's words, and motioned for him to return to the banquet, his tone was not lacking in melancholy, looking at Qian Feng, he was silent for a long time before he suddenly said: "In the past, it was difficult to survive, and I had no time to think about it. Now that I think about it, I have a lot of secret hatred. The king thief has been dead for many years, and the world has changed several times, why did you come north? Could it be that the aftermath of this incident is still fierce? ”

Speaking of this, he sighed to himself: "I have lived in the north for many years, and occasionally there is a lot of news in the south. Recently, Jiangdong has been on the rise, I don't know if Shiyi has heard of it? I heard that there is another young man in Nanxiang, who is Shen Weizhou, the former emperor's thick horse. In this year when Shen Weizhou was weak, he was able to kill Huang Quan in a battle, which was also a strange thing. ”

"The name of Huang Quan, you may not know much about Shiyi. In fact, he is also a fierce general in the country, and he was a fake son of Lord Zhao in his early years. His people were defeated in the southern soil, and even Lord Zhao was surprised by this, and recently he frequently remembered the name of Shen Weizhou. How much do you know about this Nanxiang backwards? ”

When Qian Feng heard this, his eyes flashed. Liu Kui's words revealed a lot of content, so guess his intentions, the most important point is that this Liu Kui seems to want to return south!

Qian Feng also thought deeply for a long time last night, and at the same time deduced Liu Kui's current situation in Xiangguo from the few words of Liu Kui's family. Now Liu Kui is in the court, and he is the prince and the prince and the princess. Purely in terms of official position, it is even more respectful than when he was in Jiangdong.

But this does not mean that Liu Kui is in a good situation, and one of the most obvious signs is that the meeting between the two is too unexpected! You must know that Qian Feng's identity in the north is just the son-in-law of a poor family in the township, and he is dedicated to the dignitary's family because of his skill. But I didn't expect that such a trivial matter would allow Liu Kui to come forward to meet in person!

He is either extremely poor and bored, and occasionally interested, indicating that although he has a high reputation, he is actually idle and stranded at home. Or if you value this skill and meet it in person, then it means that the situation is even worse, and you may have difficulty making a living, and you want to get a way to make a living.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Liu Kui's situation in the court can hardly be called wonderful.

As for the current frequent mention of Shen Zhezi in front of Qian Feng, Qian Feng does not think that Liu Kui has seen through his intentions here, but even more shows the embarrassment and difficulty of his situation. The apparent connection between himself and the Shen family is just a fellow villager and an old relationship with Shen Chong, Liu Kui may not even let go of this, and wants to let himself help to bring the line back to Jiangdong!

This is both a good thing and a bad thing for Qian Feng. If you tell him bluntly, Liu Kui is different from Yan Mu, he has already established himself in the court for many years, maybe he will value Qian Feng more, or he may sell him after turning around. But if he and the Shen family have no old relationship, then there is no doubt that the value in Liu Kui's mind will be greatly reduced, and it will not be conducive to what he will seek in the future.

Liu Kui looked at Qian Feng, and his mood was also excited, he really had the heart to flee south. On the one hand, the situation here is really not good, but Koto is not. Wang's great enemy has gone, more than half of the Zhongxing elders have withered, if he returns, there will be few opponents in terms of qualifications except for Wang Dao and a few others.

On the other hand, judging from Qian Feng's detailed description and his own knowledge, the momentum of the Wu people in Jiangdong has risen sharply, and even the young man is in charge of the army. If he relies on the Shen family to go back, the Wu people may want to use his old reputation to resist the backlash of the overseas Chinese, and the overseas Chinese may also be willing to use his old voice to suppress the Wu people's momentum.

More importantly, he also hopes that he will have the opportunity to save his reputation for the rest of his life, and not bear the resentment of a lifetime of infamy.

The reason why he dared to confide in front of Qian Feng was precisely because of what Qian Feng said yesterday, this person was just a speck of dust in his court, and he could get rid of it whenever he wanted. And Qian Feng's long silence also made him uncertain, or this person came with a mission as he expected, or he had nothing to do with the Shen family at all, but was just reserved.

After a long while, Liu Kui smiled dryly: "But as soon as Wu Zhong advances, how can Shiyi seem to be in trouble?" ”

Qian Feng took a deep breath, got up and bowed down again, but he didn't say it bluntly: "Feng Ben is a humble person, with a little cunning ability, and he is not enough to make a living. Fortunately, Liu Gong is looking forward to quoting, and he will follow the work of dogs and horses! ”

This answer surprised Liu Kui slightly, and after being stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and after a while, his eyebrows relaxed, and he got up to help Qian Feng and said with a smile: "In this bad land, it is not easy for me to live in peace." Although my old friendship with Shiyi is not thick, it is indeed the same disease, and I live here in peace, and I will ensure that you have no worries! ”

The two of them have their own hearts, but on the surface, they are talking and laughing, and they look like they have disappeared. As for how much truth is true or false, that can only be grasped by each individual.
