Chapter 2: Tears and Blood

[Latest chapter reading.]

The morning light came This is the morning light on the river It is the morning light of the end of autumn White and vast with mist Coldly pushing the darkness to the extreme part of the river, to the void of the distant mountains The darkness gradually had nowhere to escape Then it retreated into the recess of the mountain, hid behind the trees, and burrowed into the hearts of people It became the shadow of the mountain and the shadow of the trees and a chill behind it

This poplar forest in the depths of the river is straight, slender, and compact From a distance, the bark at the bottom of the trunk is black and still a little rough, and when it reaches the middle, it is suddenly delicate The color is green and white Like the skin of a radish The poplar tree knows that autumn is very early The crown of the tree is bare in many places, and the branches tremble when the wind moves, and make a rattling sound Like a large stone grain

After the broken flagship was rekindled, it was already flowing down the main road of the river Even if there were pursuers, they would not find this place for the time being Lu Huangqiao slowly woke up and felt that there were autumn insects chirping in his ears The grass itched his face He looked up sideways and found himself lying next to the corpse of the person on the hill Next to it were the corpses of Lu Taiheng, Jiang Wan, Feng Hongye and Feng Quanxiao The red spear of Zhanger was pierced at Feng Quanxiao's feet A bonfire was lit not far away The officers and sailors sat on the ground tiredly Ji Yeping was still walking around in the forest Picking up dry branches Yan Shumei helped him collect the dead leaves The half-dry water pool stretched into the forest, and a few white-winged waterfowl were muttering mud on the edge of the water, and occasionally they looked at the people here, and they walked around from time to time, and their thin legs stretched and shrunk

After re-examination, Chang Sihao only had an old wound on his abdomen bursting Although there was a lot of bleeding, the problem was not big In addition to the injuries and crossbow wounds of varying degrees, the four of Changsun Xiaochi, Chu Yuan, Hu Feng, and He Xi also had sword wounds on their right arms That was cut horizontally by Guo Shu Ronghua A layer of skin was cut horizontally The muscle movements were not affected by this injury, but the strong internal strength will inevitably lead to the collapse of qi and blood This is equivalent to temporarily abolishing one of their arms Yan Linyuan was hit very hard by Cao Xiangfei's palm before After taking Hu Feng's wound medicine, he closed his eyes and breathed The face was still not very good-looking

Lu Huangqiao stretched out his hand to take a look, and touched his face again, feeling the swelling disappear, and his heart was overjoyed, and suddenly he saw Himeno approaching with a fierce face, and he was taken aback, and involuntarily shrank back

Himeno was expressionless, leaned over and picked up Lu Taehyung's body, put it on the newly built firewood bed between him and Yan Shumei, and then came back and carried the bodies of Jiang Wan, Feng Hongye, and Feng Quanxiao over Several people in Juhao Pavilion stood up and gathered around the side of the firewood bed

Seeing this, Sonam Gyatso also got up and approached: "Please let the little monk and the national teacher go over for a few heroes."

Fang Zhennuo said, "Thank you, Master"

"No need" Himenodaira has a big hand: "Our people, we ourselves are excessive, we don't need you"

The eldest grandson smiled and said: "I'm not in a good mood, it's rude, please don't blame the master" Sonam Gyatso waved his hand to show that it was okay to bow his head and retreat silently The eldest grandson Xiaochi stretched out his hand and pressed it on Himenopira's shoulder and shook it Sighed silently and turned to Fang Zhennuo: "Xiaofang, borrow your long shirt for a while."

Fang Zhennuo nodded and took off his coat His clothes were originally pale cyan, but after years of pulp washing, they had faded to white The eldest grandson Xiaochi took it and tore it into a long strip of square cloth with his left hand on the wound on his right arm, and the blood gushed down to his fingertips

He took two steps to the side, slightly condensed, pressed the cloth on the tree, used his finger as a pen, and wrote with tears: "The autumn air is in the air, the autumn sun is under the autumn wind, the autumn wind and the autumn wilderness, who can bear to see it, the hero tears bitterly, like water across the street, which pity the seven-foot glory, where to hunt for ten miles, watch the sea and mountains move, the temples are smeared with blood, the cold insects are shh

After writing, he held his hands in his hands, put his shoulders on top of the four corpses, and fell back to his knees

Fang Zhennuo, Chu Yuan, Hu Feng, He Xi, and Yan Shumei knelt beside him Yan Linyuan pulled out a thick branch from the bonfire and took two steps forward: "Old Qu, Old Lu, brothers, everyone go all the way" Then he inserted the fire branch into the wood bed

The fire is not strong, the smoke rises first, like a black pillar rolling into the sky, Zeng Shiquan saw that his eyebrows jumped straight up, and he jumped up suddenly: "Such a big smoke, isn't it clear that you will hook people to catch it?"

Himenodaira: "I'm worried that they won't come."

Zeng Shiquan waved his hand: "Let's go" Kang Huai, the officials and Cheng Lian'an all got up one after another Ji Yeping shouted: "You can't go" Walking sideways Zeng Shiquan choked and pulled out his waist knife and said angrily: "Little chicken cub, do you think the third master is afraid that you won't succeed" Fang Zhennuo took a step forward and said loudly: "Zeng Shiquan, put down the blade" Zeng Shiquan sneered: "I forgot you to bring it" Fang Zhennuo said: "What to take" Zeng Shiquan: "Huang Yuling " Fang Zhennuo said: "The prince entrusted this thing to me, how can I give it to you" Zeng Shiquan was too lazy to say that progress is going to arrest him Suddenly, a blue light shot from the slanted thorn and lay it under his neck, and he realized that it was the chill of the blade, and he froze

Qin Juexiang said with a smile: "The glacier is inserted into the sea, and the warbler complains about the poor This glacier sword ranks first among the four famous swords Just looking at the good performance in the hands of the governor, I don't know if the edge is sharp or not "As soon as the wrist was raised, the tip of the sword was powerful Zeng Shiquan's jaw involuntarily raised

Kang Huai said: "Qin Juexiang, what are you going to do?"

Qin Juexiang smiled: "What are you doing, since the Duke has something to say, then we have to listen to the Duke Kang, Master Kang, do you say it?" Zeng Shiquan said: "Hmph, don't think I don't know your wishful thinking Now Chen Zhibin has exposed your old bottom in front of the heroes of the world You have been ruined in the rivers and lakes Now there is only one way to go in the officialdom Do you think that Fang Zhennuo is easy to control and want to use him as a tablet to insert his hand into the East Factory Is it not " Qin Juexiang said: "Third Master, what you said is too ugly Is the appointment of the Duke of Governor fake? Most of them want to replace him with the idea of acting governor."

Zeng Shiquan's nose was beating and he was silent, Kang Huai said: "Lord Qin, under the order of the Duke of Weidu, the other party must support it, I believe that Brother Shiquan is also out of consideration for the sake of the factory, so he stopped the action Everyone is their own people, it is better to be calm."

"Borrowed Borrowed Borrowed "

Xiao Jin Shiyue used his finger to drill a glacial sword from under the door like a doorway, and greeted Yan Shumei with a smile: "Night girl, night girl"

Yan Shumei asked strangely: "What do you call me...... The pronunciation is very stiff, although she was cured of an old illness by Wu Dao, but she has not spoken for many years, and she speaks Chinese, it is still awkward

Xiao Jinyue came close and grabbed her hand, raised his head, and rubbed the back of his ass with his other hand, with a very hard expression on his face, rubbed it a few times, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief "Oh ......", and when he came back, there were two more bird eggs in his palm

Yan Shumei was surprised: "This ...... It's you...... ”

Xiao Jinshiyue nodded very sincerely: "It's me" smiled: "I'm hungry, let's cook it and eat it together."

Yan Shumei shook his head: "Yes...... Cracked ......" Xiao Jin Shiyue smiled: "Then simmer with mud and it won't crack" said and pulled her to run towards the river The waterfowl saw that people were coming, fluttering their wings and flying like a series of footprints stepping into the sky

Everyone looked at each other directly, and when they came back to their senses, the atmosphere tightened again, but it was not as grim as just now, Qin Juexiang saw that Zeng Shiquan did not dare to make another time, and slowly withdrew his sword and said: "Master Kang is worthy of being the most trusted person of the Duke of Kang It is good to say that the Duke is gone, and we should all be more united Otherwise, how can we live up to the emperor's trust and the expectations of the people Is it Lord Zeng?"

Zeng Shiquan was not angry in his heart, but Qin Juexiang withdrew his sword first and then spoke, and finally gave himself a little face, snorted lightly, and stopped speaking

Fang Zhennuo turned around and said with a smile: "Second brother, eldest brother, you all let go a little bit, second brother, why bother to wrinkle your eyebrows so angrily In the future, we will work with Zeng Zhangye in the same dynasty, and the days will be long."

Himenodaira's eyes were round: "Work together, who works with him?"

Fang Zhennuo grabbed his hand and patted the back of his big hand: "Second brother, the younger brother is now in charge of the East Factory, and he needs someone around him, and it is a little wronged to let the second brother do things under me, but we are all good brothers, and the second brother will not help me with this."

Himenopaira looked at him as he spoke, and he understood in his heart: he was taking this opportunity to bring everyone into the court and open up a second battlefield in terms of official career As soon as he thought of this, it was like being burned, and he immediately broke free of his wrist and took a step However, the anger that rose did not explode but gradually suppressed He stared at Fang Zhennuo's face for a while and said: "Xiao Fang, there are some roads that others can walk, but I can't go, I can't help you with this favor" turned his head and said, "Big brother, let's go."

The eldest grandson smiled and didn't move, Fang Zhennuo said: "Where are you going?"

Himenopaira didn't look at him and still asked, "Big brother, if you don't leave, do you want to stay?"

The eldest grandson shook his head with a smile: "I still have something to do" Himeno Ping hurriedly said: "What's the matter" suddenly understood: "...... You're going to pick up your sister-in-law, let's go together," the eldest grandson smiled and said, "...... It's not to pick her up, she's ...... Long gone"

Himenodaira frowned, as if he was pondering the meaning of these words, and suddenly said, "Big brother, didn't you come to save us when you heard the news, but came out to find her?"

The eldest grandson stood straight with a smile on his cheeks, tears drying on his cheeks, and his gaze was so distant that it seemed to be out of his soul

Behind the firewood bed, the fire was grand, the golden thread shook the sky, and the sound of the horn popping I don't know if it came from cracked wood or human bones

For a moment, Himenodaira seemed to be pierced by ten thousand steel knives, and his big body shook twice, and he took two steps back, and said: "It turned out to be so, it turned out to be like this" for a while bitter, sad, and disappointed...... All kinds of emotions were tangled in his face, twisted beyond words, and the Qingfeng Hundred Refining Dragon Rope on his waist shook as his body made a trilling sound of metal colliding, clenched fists, red eyes, and muscles that were stretched under his half-wet bloody clothes, making him look like a rabbit that had just been skinned alive and wrapped in straw paper to be sold

His lips trembled, and he couldn't stop nodding his head, as if his soul had been skinned off, and he was beaten by this autumn wind, and he couldn't help but feel cold

"I get it all"

After saying this, he turned around and ran to the Lu Huang Bridge, pulled out the red spear on the ground, and strode towards the depths of the forest

"Second brother" Fang Zhennuo opened his hand and shouted, only to see Ji Yeping's figure suddenly accelerate, like a drop of blood falling into the water, leaving a smoky impression and disappearing without a trace

Yan Linyuan sighed and said: "Forget it, he needs a reason to live, if the love in his heart can no longer exist, let him hate it."
