Chapter 310: Brother
Hearing Zhao Sheng ask this, Li Guang sighed again in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
What are the odds......
He raised his eyes to look at Zhao Sheng: "Brother, let's run away." ”
Zhao Sheng frowned: "Escape?"
"Doesn't my brother know the situation in this Rongcheng?" Li Guang looked at Zhao Sheng worriedly, feeling that his old friend and old superior had become a little crazy because of that dream, "My brother said that I wanted to rebel before, but I was afraid that the four of them would not be able to think about it for a while, so I really took my brother and agreed." Now I turned back to persuade my brother - this Rongcheng can't stay anymore, the sooner you go, the sooner you will have a way to live. ”
He took a slight breath and continued: "Brother, think about it, there are only a few hundred people in our Rong City who can use it now—all of them are former helpers and the like. used to be a scoundrel in the market, and he knew what kind of virtuous brother he was. These people are only a few dozen of them that can really be used by me. ”
"It's these dozens of people, what are they really used to fight? The armor in the library has long been useless -- many of the knives and guns have been exchanged for silver money by the old man, and the only ones left in the treasury are rusty old fellows. The threads of the leather armor were rotten, and they fell apart when they were mentioned. I also learned these things a few days ago -- it is not enough to arm dozens of people, so should we beat them with sticks?"
"And then there's that outside the city...... Oops!" Li Guang sighed anxiously, "Brother, don't you know that 200 miles away is the Chongfu camp? There are nearly 10,000 garrisons in the Chongfu camp, and there are thousands of soldiers who can fight. Once we know that there is a change in Rongcheng, thousands of people are coming--won't the lives of you and my brother be the result!"
Li Guang sighed again and again as he spoke, looking anxious. But after hearing him finish these words, Zhao Sheng smiled: "I know." Of course I do—I was thinking about what you said half an hour ago. But just now that dream came to me, I regained my mind and thought about it again...... Hey, what's all this about?"
"The world has been suffering from demons for a long time!" Zhao Sheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look out of the window - like a general overlooking the battlefield, "You said that only a few dozen people follow us? How many families have died in this scene now? It is a good time for the crowd to be excited. As much as I hate those demons, so do those people -- they just have one less person to take the lead. ”
"Scepter...... Brother Li Guang, in ancient times, there were plants and trees that rose up for the soldiers, and now we are not as good as the ancients? The current royal family of Qingguo was just a group of displaced people when it started 500 years ago -- but now that we have a city, what are we afraid of!"
"You said that the Chongfu camp ...... Hum. Zhao Sheng sneered, "There are thousands of soldiers-where are the thousands of soldiers?" Our old men in Rongcheng are in a mess, are you the generals of the Chongfu camp who are all conscientious? The imperial court is controlled by the demons of the Sword Palace -- the demons are most afraid that the imperial court army is at its peak, and they have already secretly made it bad, and they have also made those generals a mess!"
"When you came to Rongcheng, I had a brother who joined the army and went to the Chongfu camp, and now he has become a small capital. He has five hundred soldiers under his hands, but do you know how many people there are?" Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand and clenched his fist with one hand, and flipped it over, "It's only two hundred." He ate the empty wages of 300 people alone - this is still a coward, and he does not dare to make a big fuss. With such a Zhichong Mansion, how many people do you think he can pull out to Rongcheng?"
"It was he who came to Rongcheng, which is surrounded by mountains. Tell them to come over the mountains and mountains first, and after we come, we will close the city gate and hold it out, will they be able to attack it?"
Zhao Sheng analyzed all the things that Li Guang was worried about in one breath, but Li Guang was stunned - he never knew that Zhao Sheng thought about so many things on weekdays. But he still hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Even what my brother said is the truth." But there's one more ...... The imperial court may not be terrible. However, the demon of the Sword Palace...... Brother, it's probably not something that a high wall can prevent. ”
Zhao Sheng frowned: "You still don't believe that the Dragon King has a dream? With the Dragon King helping me, I'm afraid that those demons will do something." ”
Li Guang was so anxious that he stomped his foot: "I believe in my brother." Do you all believe in you, brother?! When they really rebelled, those people retreated at the thought of demons -- did my brother just say to them with empty teeth that there is a dragon king to help us?"
Zhao Sheng stared at Li Guang angrily for a long time, and finally snorted and sat down—it seemed that he had something to say, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.
After half a pillar of incense like this, he lowered his voice: "Actually, there are other ...... Helper's. ”
After being silent for a while, he was embarrassed: "But this one, not only is it a last resort, but it can't be used." ”
As he spoke, his face was a mixture of anger, shame, and depression. It seems that if Li Guang hadn't asked in a hurry, he planned to bury this matter in his heart for the rest of his life.
His appearance made Li Guang curious: "What does my brother mean?"
Zhao Sheng hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked to the door. opened the door and looked left and right to make sure that there was no one outside the room, and then turned to look at Li Guang: "It's okay to tell you." But you must not leak this matter - otherwise we will become the fingers of a thousand people before the big thing happens!"
Li Guang realized that things were even more strange. After thinking about it, he said with a straight face: "Brother say it." After so many years of getting along, can't you still trust my brother? ”
Zhao Sheng smiled slightly bitterly: "Since I can trust you, I want to talk to you." Listen up. ”
"A few days ago, I asked you to go with me to kill the demons, what did I say at that time? I told you that the demons in the city are just artistic conceptions, just transformed into shapes. It's just that the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, so there is no fear. A few hundred of us are against them, and it is not without a chance of winning. At that time, you asked me what artistic conception and transformation were, and how did you know it—remember?"
Li Guang thought for a moment and nodded: "I remember." At the time, I didn't understand how my brother knew these things, but you only took one sentence. ”
"Now I'll tell you, that's what my brother told me. Zhao Sheng looked at Li Guang, "My brother is in the Definition City of Qingguo, in the Stone Forest Mountain of Qingguo. Our Rongcheng is in the remnants of Shilin Mountain, and the defining city is in the main vein. ”
Li Guang blinked: "...... Brother? When did my brother have another brother in Yuguo? I know that the definition city, isn't it the border city of Qingguo? It is separated from our Rongcheng by a hundred and ten miles, the road is rugged and difficult to travel, and it is also a small city that no one cares about in Qingguo...... How did my brother get to know the people there?"
Zhao Sheng was silent for a while: "It's not an acquaintance. That's my brother. ”
Li Guang's eyes widened and he was speechless. Zhao Sheng's mother just died last night, and he has been friends with Zhao Sheng for many years and knows the bottom - but I don't know where he got a brother, or is it in the definition city of Qingguo?
"Alas. Zhao Sheng sighed, "It's a long story." But now you know that my old mother is not my biological mother. It was only a few years ago that I stumbled upon my brother in the city of Yu - we were born to the same mother, and we were all about the same in appearance, and we were separated when we were young. ”
"Now he is also a public man in the Definition City, and he is also a head catcher. All I know is what he told me. When I say last resort, I mean his side. ”
It took Li Guang some time to digest Zhao Sheng's words. He thought for a moment and hesitated, "Brother is ...... But your brother is just a headhunter - Qingguo is not the same as the situation in our rest of the country. They don't have demons there...... I'm afraid that your brother can't be the master, right?"
Zhao Sheng frowned and was silent for a long time before he suddenly said, "It's not human." It's demons. ”
“...... What?"
"It's a demon. These words go out of my mouth and into your ears, and you can no longer say them to a third man. I'm just saying it to you now...... We still have such a back road, but we may not need it. Zhao Sheng's tone when he spoke was not as arrogant as before. It was as if I felt a little guilty in my heart, but I was trying to suppress that emotion. After saying so much, he paused, and saw that Li Guang didn't mean to listen to it, so he said, "The situation in Qingguo Definition City is not better than ours. It's even more terrifying than ours. ”
"Although our Rongcheng is oppressed by demons, we don't always have to worry about our lives. But Qingguo's defining city ......" Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth, "but there are demons eating people." ”
"There is a hollow mountain in the Stone Forest Mountains near the Definition City. In that hollow mountain, there lived a big demon. There are hundreds of small demons under the big demon seat, and they will eat people in three days and two days. At first, they took people captive from the city to eat. But then more and more people fed up, and almost all the city was emptied—and my brother became a head hunter. You must know that at that time, there was no difference between us and our current Rongcheng - the old men above the head catcher died and fled, and he was in charge of the city. ”
So my brother ...... I thought of a way. ”
"Our Rongcheng is at the end of the Stone Forest Mountain, and there is another Rong River. So life is quite passable. However, the defining city of Naqing is in the Gobi Desert of Shilin Mountain, which is dry and rainless, and it is difficult to pass. Therefore, it is a first-class remote and desolate place in Qingguo. Therefrom...... The state capital near Gyeongkookna usually sent the prisoners who had been sentenced to be sent and exiled to the city of Definition. ”
"So he did this...... You know, right?"
Li Guang listened in amazement. Hearing this, he was stunned for a while before he said, "Could it be ...... He took the initiative to send those people to the demons to eat?!"
Zhao Sheng nodded silently: "I don't know where he got his courage and where he got his luck." I broke into the demon lair in the Hollow Mountain to negotiate, and then it turned out. Since then, five or six people have been sent to the demons every month to eat. Slowly, the demons really don't define the city captives. ”
"But five or six people are sent every month. Li Guang frowned, "Where did so many criminals come from?"
Zhao Sheng glanced at him: "There are not enough criminals, there are always traitors in the city." There are no adulterers, and there are also the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. They...... So he secretly tied it up. ”
Li Guang's eyes widened: "This, this kind of thing...... How can this-"
Zhao Sheng sighed slightly: "But since then, the city has been calm. There are also more people - barely living and working in peace. So...... I don't know how to say that. ”
"As for this help, it's the demon of the Hollow Mountain. My brother often sent people to the Empty Mountain, and slowly got acquainted with some of the little bosses, and knew a lot of things. It is said that the great demon of the Trapping Mountain is a hundred times more powerful than the Yang Sword of the Sword Palace, and a small leader under his seat can easily get rid of hundreds of demon cultivators like those in our Rong City. Hence the ...... Once the time comes......
Li Guang stood up suddenly: "Never!"
He glared at Zhao Sheng: "Is my brother confused?!Why are we doing the opposite?Isn't it because the people are bullied by demons and the people are not happy?Once the demons trapped in the empty mountain are brought in...... Isn't it different from drinking a donkey to quench your thirst!?Does my brother want to send someone to share food with the demon in the future?!"
His tone was strong, and he didn't show any emotion. Zhao Sheng didn't have a seizure, and hurriedly said: "Where am I such a foolish person-how can I ...... unless I have to?"
"Never do it, brother!" Li Guang interrupted him again, "I would rather die than do such a thing!"
Zhao Sheng waved his hand: "That's it, how can I be that kind of person." Then the matter will not be mentioned - and nothing else will be mentioned yet. I'll think about it for the time being, you come back in the afternoon, and I'll talk to you again, okay?"
It seems that Li Guang's opposition has made him lose all interest. When he had finished speaking, he walked to the door and pulled it open: "I'll rest for a while, I may be confused." Let me think about it. ”
Li Guang didn't want to say anything, so he had to sigh and go out after hesitating for a while.
As soon as he went out, Zhao Sheng closed the door again. After another quarter of an hour, when Li Guang's footsteps were gone, he let out a long breath.
The stench outside the window seemed to have faded a little - or maybe it was his delusion.
But the voices got louder -- all sorts of voices. The sound of autumn cicadas chirping, the noisy sounds of people in the city, the sound of window paper gently agitating in the breeze, and even ...... The sound of your own blood flowing and your heartbeat.
He didn't tell Li Guang about these things. But he knew it meant he wasn't the same person he used to be.
He was a secular martial artist, and his former kung fu was a brilliant third-rate master. But now he knew he was different—he could almost "look inward." In the martial arts, this is a mysterious realm, which means that he is no longer a third-rate, but a second-rate.
All this changed only because of that dream—before that dream, he was full of pain, grief, anger and melancholy. But immediately after the dream, such a drastic change occurred in his body...... Li Guang said that he wanted to go wrong!
But how could these Peng Baixiong internal forces in his body be "imagined" in vain?!
This is also the best proof that the dragon king has dreamed for himself!
Zhao Sheng stayed in the room for a while, and suddenly fell to his knees.
He reverently kowtowed three times—he thought about it, straightened up again, bowed once, and kowtowed three more. After such a set of three bows and nine knocks, he put his hands together and whispered in a slightly trembling voice: "Weishui Dragon King, Weishui Dragon King...... If that dream is true, please entrust me with the dream again, and manifest it again, for I have something important to ask you, something important to ask you!" )
