Chapter 673: Golden Knife, Token!
Yun Canglan looked at Shang Zhongli, as if he had thought of something, and there was a solemnity on his handsome face, but he didn't speak immediately, but closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and finally arched his hand and said, "Students obey the teacher's orders!" ”
Shang Zhongli stared at Yun Canglan and said slowly, "Have you already guessed what the old man wants you to do?" ”
Yun Canglan did not speak. ()
"The stakes are so high that we have to do it as a last resort." Shang Zhongli sighed lightly, "If you really do it, I'm afraid that you will have to bear the infamy after you get up, and it is more likely to ...... Woe to your Yun clan, the old man doesn't force you, you can think about it again, and then answer the old man! ”
The corners of Yun Canglan's eyes jumped, he closed his eyes again, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, this time he groaned longer, and finally, those cold eyes opened, clenched their fists, and crossed their chests, saying word by word: "All for...... Kyungkook! ”
Shang Zhongli laughed suddenly, his voice was quite vicissitudes, but it was also full of joy, and said, "The old man still didn't look at the wrong person after all. Then he said in a deep voice: "Someone! ”
After the words were spoken, a person came in from outside the door, holding a copper plate in his hand, and the plate was covered with a yellow silk silk, and he couldn't see what was on the copper plate for a while.
The man took the copper plate and went into the house, and stood beside Shang Zhongli.
Shang Zhongli said to Yun Canglan: "Lift the yellow silk!" ”
Yun Canglan was a little puzzled, looked at the copper plate suspiciously, listened to Shang Zhongli's instructions, hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward and lifted the yellow silk.
On the copper plate, there are two things, a golden scimitar, slightly larger than the dagger, curved in arc, like the small scimitar of the northern barbarians in the far north, but the blade is golden, completely made of gold, and on the pure gold scabbard, it is carved with a golden dragon with teeth and claws.
The other thing is a token made of black iron, which doesn't look very conspicuous.
Shang Zhongli asked, "Although you haven't seen these two things, ...... You've probably heard of it! ”
"Yes!" Yun Canglan took a deep breath: "Death-free golden knife, great general token!" ”
Shang Zhongli sighed: "The royal family is kind to my businessman, this golden knife to avoid death is given by the previous emperor when my father was alive, holding this golden knife is to commit a heinous crime, and you can also avoid death!" ”
"Yes!" Yun Canglan nodded and said: "The students have heard about this matter for a long time, and it is the great contribution of the previous emperor to commend the Holy General clan for my Daqing!" ”
Shang Zhongli bowed his head and said, "Not bad." After a pause, he sighed lightly: "If it weren't for the invasion of the Wei army, the old man would not let you do it, and he was even more unwilling to let you bear the infamy for the old man." But...... For the sake of the saint, for the sake of Daqing, someone has to do this after all...... The old man has no time, so he can only hand it over to you, you...... You can't blame the old man, right? ”
"I can share the worries of the teacher, I can serve my Daqing, and I have no regrets about the vicissitudes of life!" Yun Canglan said calmly.
"Okay." Shang Zhongli finally said simply: "The golden knife to avoid death, the old man will give it to you today, with it on your body, if there is a situation in the future, you can use it." Pointing to the general's token, he said: "This token, you should also know that the general's tiger talisman and token can mobilize soldiers and horses." Tiger talisman, the old man stays on his body, the general token, you put it away first. If there is a change in the future, you can use the General Token to mobilize the border army and the defenders of the local state and county......! ”
Yun Canglan was shocked: "Teacher, you are ......!" ”
Shang Zhongli said solemnly: "You listen to the old man." After a pause, he said: "You have to remember that no matter what the old man is on the front line, you have to defend the capital to the death to protect the safety of the saint." The old man's battle is naturally bound to win, but ...... The world is impermanent, and the military family is even more uncertain, so there are some things that the old man has to ask you to do. His eyes were like electricity, and he said slowly: "If the old man has something in front of him, the traitors in the court will inevitably make trouble, and at that time, the first thing you should do is to stabilize the capital, and do not hesitate to restore the stability of the court by bloodshed, don't have any scruples, even if the saint is deceived and intervenes, you ...... Don't bother! ”
Yun Canglan looked solemn and listened quietly.
"The old man's battle, although he may not be able to completely annihilate the Wei army, will definitely make them suffer a heavy blow." Shang Zhongli said in a low voice: "According to the old man's estimate, this victory is unpredictable, but after this battle, my Daqing and Wei must be weakened in both national strength and military strength, and the old man is most worried that the people of Yan will make some moves after the war." So...... If the old man dies in front, you must remember that if the Wei army retreats and the Yan people make a move after the war, then ...... You can join Wei to deal with Qingguo, don't fall into isolation, and be ...... by the Yan people! Speaking of this, his eyes were full of cold light, and he muttered to himself: "Xiao Huaiyu...... The Tiger of the East has always been a ...... waiting for an opportunity! ”
Yun Canglan immediately said: "Teacher, in this battle, I will win the country!" ”
Shang Zhongli said with a smile: "This is also what the old man expects, what he said before is the worst plan in the old man's heart, and he may not come to that step...... He raised his hand and said, "Put these two things away!" ”
Yun Canglan frowned, but he didn't dare to accept it for a while.
He knew the weight of these two things, from a certain point of view, Shang Zhongli was authorized, this famous general was ready for the worst, he just wanted to entrust the rest to a trustworthy and capable person before going to the battlefield.
But Yun Canglan also understands that the weight of power is also the weight of the burden.
These two things seem ordinary, but they represent great power and heavy responsibility, and Yun Canglan is not sure whether he can bear this heavy responsibility.
He also knew that when he took over these two things, he had to be prepared to pay a huge price.
Shang Zhongli just looked at the young man in front of him quietly.
The veteran also knew very well in his heart that this burden was indeed very heavy, and he was not sure whether this young man was capable enough to bear it, but in today's situation, only the young man in front of him was the most suitable choice.
Neither the old nor the young spoke, and there was a deathly silence in the room.
After a long time, Yun Canglan took a deep breath, knelt down in front of Shang Zhongli with dignity, and said respectfully: "Student thank you for your kindness, student swears to serve Daqing, for the sake of Qingguo, the student has no regrets!" ”
He respectfully accepted the copper basin containing the golden sword and the general's token.
Shang Zhongli laughed, his two feet were still in the bucket, but at this time, he didn't even wipe his feet clean, but took his two legs out of the bucket, stepped on the ground barefoot, stepped forward to help Yun Canglan, looked at his disciple, and sighed: "It's hard for you!" ”

When Han Mo and Cao Yin returned to the royal palace from the palace, it was already midnight, but the royal courtyard was brightly lit, and there were lights everywhere, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied the marriage were busy at this time.
