Two, three, four, unparalleled(1/2)
.
The mountain wind was flying, and the fire was pounding, shaking the shadows of everyone, like Xu Shiji's heart.
Xu Shiji heard about Pushan Gong's name for a long time, but he regretted not meeting him, but he didn't expect that he would be framed by him as soon as he met.
Everything seemed very clear. Li Mi sacrificed his Xu Shiji in exchange for Zhai Rang's trust. Now it seems that Zhai Rang not only trusts Li Mi, but also is grateful to him. Even if he is sold by Li Mi, he still counts the money for him.
Li Mi's act in this film made him feel devilish. Xu Shiji felt heartbroken when he thought about his methods, but what was even more heartbroken was that although he knew everything, he knew that he had never betrayed Wagang and wanted to save Zhai Rang, but except for himself, no one present would believe him.
"Xu Shiji, are there nothing to say?" Zhai Hong sneered: "A person like you sells friends for honor and kills Wagang thousands of lives. If you don't kill you, it will be inconsistent."
A mountain wind blew, full of coldness. Zhai Hong felt a little chill behind his back, but he stared at Xu Shiji. He insisted that it was the Wagang that Xu Shiji betrayed, and of course he knew best. Xu Shiji sighed after a long time, "If Shiji had the heart to betray Wagang, heaven and earth would be destroyed. Xiongxin, wouldn't you believe me?"
At this moment, he was injustice, but instead woke up. He didn't care about his own safety. He just wanted to warn Zhai Rang not to be deceived by Li Mi. But in the eyes of the people in Wagang, he had long been unkind and unrighteous, selling friends for honor. He could only hope that Shan Xiongxin would be more sober and not be deceived by Li Mi.
Shan Xiongxin just coughed but didn't answer. Zhai Hong sneered: "Xu Shiji, are you still trying to find someone to take care of him now? Unfortunately, even Brother Shan, who is brave and righteous, is discouraged by you and doesn't want to say a word to you anymore."
Xu Shiji sighed, "Master, I can only say that what you saw with your own eyes. It is true that you did not see it..."
"We have seen it with our own eyes that is untrue. Did you hear what you said just the truth?" Zhai Hong did not allow Xu Shiji to argue.
Xu Shiji ignored Zhai Hong and continued to speak directly, "Li Mi has ulterior motives and is not a good friend of the village leader. Shiji said so much, whether to listen or not, he asked the village leader to decide on his own."
After he said this, he turned around and wanted to leave. Because of his clear conscience, Zhai Hong jumped in front of Xu Shiji and laughed and said, "Xu Shiji, after you have sowed the disagreement and harmed Wagang, do you want to leave like this?"
Xu Shiji's face was gloomy, he pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, glanced at Li Mi and said, "From you Zhai Hong, I'm afraid you can't stop me Xu Shiji."
He judged the situation and knew that everyone present was injured. The only people who could stop him were Li Mi and Cai Jiande. He heard that Li Mi was both civil and military, but since he asked Cai Jiande to save everyone in Wagang, his martial arts must be under Cai Jiande. He just used common sense to think that General Yunlang, who had arrested Li Mi at the time, did not expect that Li Mishi was a peerless master who was hidden.
Although Xu Shiji looked down on Li Mi, the rest of the matter was thoughtful. Looking back at the figure of the person who lured him out of the temple, he was different from that of Li Mi and Cai Jiande. I guess there was still someone in secret ambushing him. He was wary. He knew that as long as Zhai Rang spoke, he would be dead for a lifetime. But he had a clear conscience and was never willing to be killed.
When Zhai Hong saw Xu Shiji look down on all sides, he was afraid and took a few steps back and shouted: "I can't stop you, can't I be able to do anything about him?"
Li Mi coughed lightly, "I am a guest. Although my skills are ordinary, I know that I see unfairness on the road and draw my sword to help me. However, Zhai is the leader of the family, and Li Mi and Jiande all obey the orders."
Everyone looked at Zhai Rang. Seeing that his face was bright and dark, Wang Dangren whispered: "The village master, you must stop and be in trouble. I will ask the village master not to ask for the kindness of a woman."
Zhai Rang sighed and waved his hand, "Shiji, go, you will be you, I will be me, and you will not owe each other anything again."
Everyone was shocked. Although Xu Shiji scolded Zhai Rang for being confused, he was grateful. He knew that Zhai Rang could not bear to attack him after all, so he left with great strides. Li Mi's eyes flashed with strangeness and sighed softly, "Zhai Dangjia is indeed kind-hearted."
Xu Shiji left with great strides, but was alert to someone in secret. He just ran around for several hours and did not see the interception. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He wandered around the wilderness, turned around the foot of the mountain, and found that the front was wide open and the four fields were much brighter. He looked up and saw the gurgling river water in the distance, and the river surface was filled with bright silvery colors. He felt a trembling heart. It turned out that it was already dawn. Before he knew it, he turned back to the edge of Tongji Canal.
Thinking of what happened this night, Xu Shiji suddenly felt like a dream. He sighed softly and murmured to himself: "Wangang is finished."
When he thought about it, Xu Shiji smiled bitterly in his heart and said that Wagang was not over, so he could only say that the leader of the village would not be Zhai Rang anymore. With Li Mi's means and scheming, how could Zhai Rang be his opponent? Now Li Mi has been subordinate to others and comes to rescue Zhai Rang, but because he valued the foundation of Wagang and Zhai Rang's prestige, he tried to occupy the nest and make profits. Although Wagang Village was broken by Xiao Buyi, Wagang is still there now, and Zhai Rang is still there. What's the difficulty of finding someone? But with Li Mi's strategy, Wagang will be fast and strong. At that time, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, and Zhai Rang was in danger.
Xu Shiji had already thought clearly about these calculations all night, but who would believe it after he said it?
When he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. Even if Shan Xiongxin stopped talking last night, he might not be able to see the subtle situation. Shan Xiongxin chose to remain silent. Is it because he was also disappointed with Zhai Rang?
"The fisherman gains profit by occupying the magpie's nest." Xu Shiji stood by the river, murmured to himself, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I have done my best, but I have been in the tenth place in everything that is not satisfactory, and I can take care of a lot of it?"
Seeing a passenger ship going downstream, Xu Shiji waved his hand and the passenger ship was docking. The boatman asked, "Where are the guests going?"
Xu Shiji jumped onto the boat and sighed, "Go to Liangjun."
"Fortunately, you just went to Liangjun. If you were a little further away, you would probably not be able to take my boat." The boatman replied.
Xu Shiji asked in confusion, "So the boatman doesn't walk far away?"
The boatman said, "It's not that I won't leave. It's that the government will not let it go. The dragon boat on the emperor goes south, and the boats cannot get close to it. He just went south from here the day before yesterday. The dragon boats walked slowly and our boats were moving fast. If we catch up, the boats would probably be burned."
Xu Shiji casually said, "Can you go wherever you go." But he thought to himself. Does Xiao Buyi know that Yang Guang went south? If he knew, he would still escort Zhai Rang to Dongdu. Do you know that he would let Zhai Rang go and give him a favor? But Xiao Buyi was afraid that he would make a lot of calculations and could not count as Li Mi's attacking halfway, so that would be helpless.
The boatman said that the land was the truth. The small boat went south from Xingze and passed Xingyang. Junyi, and after arriving in Yongqiu, he was ordered to return north. It was just because the dragon boat on the emperor was dozens of miles away and no ships were allowed to approach. Xu Shiji had to get off the boat and walk to Liangjun. There were more and more soldiers along the river and the inspection was strict. Xu Shiji didn't want to be troublesome, but he gave up a shortcut to Liangjun. He went around the mountains to Liangjun, saving a lot of trouble.
After Xu Shiji arrived in Liangjun City, he had already made up his mind to find Xiao Buyi first and explain everything.
Xiao Buyi may not be a hero, but he is definitely a friend. He asked himself to escort Zhai Rang. No matter whether he lost or released him, he always had to give him an explanation. Xiao Buyi is now the ambassador for the promotion and demotion of the four counties of Liang, Qiao, Xiapi and Pengcheng. He is now famous. Xu Shiji does not have to worry about not being able to find him.
After entering Liangjun City, I felt that it was not as good as those on both sides of the Tongji Canal. I guess Yang Guang would not be able to get off the dragon boat, so he would only ask officials from all over the country to visit. Xu Shiji went to a restaurant, ordered wine and food, and poured and drank by himself. Here are all kinds of people, which is a good place to inquire about the news.
After a few days on the boat, Xu Shiji had been discouraged by Wagang. In any case, as long as Li Mi is still there, he would never return to Wagang. It is undeniable that if Li Mi controlled Wagang, he would definitely be much better than Zhai Rang, but he didn't like it.
"Did you hear that the court recently released a General Xiao?" said a wine guest on the table next to him.
"There are too many generals in the court, but I don't know much."
Xu Shiji glanced sideways and found that the winery on the next table was fat and thin, drunk and drunk, and couldn't help but notice. He thought that Xiao Buyi was an anomaly of the Great Sui Dynasty and became famous in a short time. Even if the winery on Liang County was talking about it, it was really popular all over the Central Plains. However, this may not be a good thing for him. The great achievements of the Lord have always been a royal taboo. At the peak, if Xiao Buyi was frustrated, he would probably be more severe than anyone else's injury.
The footsteps behind him were soft, and a breeze passed by Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji looked at him side and found a woman in black walking over and sitting down with her back. The woman wore an outer cloak and a hat, wrapping herself tightly. The bartender came over to greet him, and the woman whispered: "A bowl of rice."
Xu Shiji noticed that there seemed to be a long sword under her cloak, but he didn't care. In the chaotic times, more and more people were walking with swords and swords. If the woman was walking alone, she would either be helpless or fearless, and just came to the restaurant and just ate a bowl of rice. After all, it was still a rare thing.
"You are ignorant. There are many generals in the court, but there may not be many people compared with General Xiao. Now, they can call General Xiao together with General Xiao. "The fat wine guest next to him was spitting and dancing with eyebrows.
The thin man said in confusion: "I know General Zhang Xutuo. He is the ambassador of the 12 counties of Henan Province. What is the ability of General Xiao? He is actually comparable to General Zhang?"
The fat man said proudly: "You don't know this. General Xiao is called Xiao Buyi. The surname Xiao was originally a big surname in the previous dynasty, and the queen was also this surname. I heard that he was the queen's nephew, so he was naturally the nobles of the princes. When he was young, he entered Maoshan Sect to learn Taoism, both civil and military, and used troops like a god. Since he returned from Maoshan Sect Yicheng, he was highly valued by the emperor. When he was in the Eastern Capital, he spoke mantras, making those old ghosts with yellow hair and green eyes respected the heavenly beings. Later, the emperor was in danger, and 400,000 Turkic soldiers went south to attack Yanmen, and the generals were helpless. General Xiao just took out the beans and sprinkled them into heavenly soldiers and generals, and defeated the Turkic soldiers."
After hearing this, Xu Shiji didn't know how true the fat man said. When he heard that he was sprinkling beans into a soldier, he almost squirted out a sip of wine. He knew that these fools and fools did not know the truth, and they were even more reluctant to use their brains. He would only place hope on this vain god all day long. Xu Shiji, Maoshan Sect, knew that it was a major Taoist sect in the north, and the sect leader was named Wang Yuanzhi. He heard that he was quite knowledgeable. At that time, Emperor Wen and the current saints summoned him. Yang Guang also regarded Wang Yuanzhi as his teacher a few years ago, but he heard that Wang Yuanzhi left the Dongdu to preach, which was rare like an immortal.
The thin man twitched his tongue, "Will General Xiao be like a god?"
"Although I am not a god, it's not much different." The fat man said proudly.
"Even if General Xiao is a god, why are you proud?" said the thin man flattered his mouth.
The fat man sneered: "Don't you know that my surname is Xiao? If you think about it carefully, I still have some connection with Lord Xiao, and it can be considered his nephew. Yesterday, General Xiao's army came to Liang County and was very busy. I couldn't bother me, so I just wanted to visit him in a few days."
The thin man raised his respect and hurriedly toasted, "If Brother Xiao meets General Xiao, his glory and wealth are just around the corner. At that time, he will not forget his former poor and humble friends."
"That's natural." The fat man sighed: "I am the most righteous person. Oh. I forgot to bring the money for wine today."
The thin man smiled and said, "Today's wine and food are naturally counted on my place."
The fat man reached out to call the bartender, "Since that's the case, man, serve two more dishes."
Xu Shiji listened to the fat man's tricks and had the potential of Xiao Buyi. He couldn't say that he had something to do with Xiao Buyi. The next thing he heard was the Zhang family and the Li family's faults. It didn't taste any. But one thing is certain that Xiao Buyi did arrive in Liang County and Yang Guang also arrived nearby. Could it be that he came to see him? Thinking of this place, Xu Shiji sighed lightly and thought to himself that Xiao Buyi was really elusive.
His eyes turned and he found that the woman in front of him was not moving, stopped eating, and seemed to be listening to something, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
Just as I was about to lower my head to drink, I suddenly heard a lot of noise in the restaurant. Some women shouted and shouted.
Xu Shiji looked over and found a woman kneeling in front of a mansion with her hair disheveled and radiant hair. She couldn't hear clearly what she was calling.
The drunkard next door looked at it and shook his head, "The girl from the Sun family has been stolen. What's the use of shouting like this? She won't come back."
"Yes, every time the emperor tours, these people have to use the excuse of the emperor's talent show..."
"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs." The fat man shook his head and said. When the thin man saw Xu Shiji coming over, he was afraid of causing trouble, so he kept silent. Xu Shiji frowned and was about to go over and ask, but when the gongs beside the street sounded, the street calmed down.
Everyone was so shocked that they looked into the street and saw a pair of people coming from the opposite side. The soldiers in front were holding signs of quiet avoidance. The two soldiers led the way in front, and the two tall horses behind were walking together.
Xu Shiji just looked at it and knew that it was probably not the turn for him to intervene in the matter today. He looked at his official uniform on the right. He should be the prefect of Liang County. The man in his left hand was armored. He was probably majestic, but he was riding on the horse lazy, with a smile on his face, and he was Xiao Buyi.
From a bystander perspective, Xu Shiji cannot but admit that Xiao Buyi is extremely complicated. His most powerful weapon is not martial arts, but always makes people feel hostile. He sat lazily on the horse. If Xu Shiji never knew each other, he probably thought that this was just a playboy and had no ability. But after seeing his methods, he realized that this was just a way for him to paralyze his opponent.
Xiao Buyi was on the horse. Although he was smiling, he was thinking about his worries. He didn't know whether Xu Shiji let Zhai Rang go. Zhai Rang had nothing to do with it, and it was useless to kill or not. He had already established his reputation in the battle and had already established his prestige. Now Yang Wang, the prefect of Liang County, was respectful to him. If he could exchange Zhai Rang's life for Xu Shiji's gratitude, he felt that he could give it a try. He led his troops south and soon arrived in Liang County, but Yang Guang was still on the way, but instead landed behind him. After arriving in Liang County, he stayed with Yang Wang for a few days. Today, the emperor met. Yang Wang flattered him and personally led his troops to open the way for him and escorted him out of the city to the place where Yang Guang was.
Yang Wang knew that Xiao Buyi was at its peak now, and no one knew how far he would be in the future. He was so flattering along the way. He was thinking about how to treat Xiao Buyi at night after he turned around. There was a lot of noise on the other side. A woman snatched it over and cried, "Sir, you're wronged."
The guards stabbed out a spear, and the woman was forced to come forward. Yang Wang frowned and thought to himself that Xiao Buyi is the ambassador of the promotion and demotion of the four counties. If he is a book written by him, his prefect can still sit firmly, then God has no eyes. Seeing Xiao Buyi looking at him with a smile, Yang Wang's face darkened and shouted: "Get back, how can there be any injustice in this Liang County?"
The guards retreated, and the woman snatched them. Gudong knelt down and kowtowed like a pound. Yang Wang felt Xiao Buyi's eyes look like a needle, and said with a kind look: "Woman will get up for now. What an injustice is there? I am the prefect to decide for you."
The woman was overjoyed and said, "The prefect, the civilian woman has a woman who depends on each other for life. She was snatched away by Liu Junzhu a few days ago, and the prefect asked the prefect to return the woman's woman to the civilian woman.
Yang Wang coughed, "Is there really such a thing? Let's turn around for now. After I find out this, I will definitely give you an explanation. General Xiao, seeing that time is coming, I will accompany the general out of the city first."
Xiao Buyi was not in a hurry, "It's okay. I believe the emperor knew that we were the one who ruled for the people and would not blame him."
Yang Wang thought that this matter could not be delayed, so he ordered the soldiers to come to Liu Juncheng. After a cup of tea, Liu Juncheng ran over unhappily. After hearing the whole story, he bowed and bowed and said, "Sir, this girl is deliberately making things difficult for the emperor. The emperor went south to the imperial examination, but the daughter of the Sun family was given to the emperor."
When Yang Wang heard this, Xiao Buyi watched coldly. Seeing that Liu Juncheng had been circling with his eyes, he probably had a ghost in his heart and immediately smiled and said, "If the talent show girl was given to the emperor, we really can't care..." Liu Juncheng's eyes showed a look of pride. Xiao Buyi shouted in a deep voice: "If someone robbed the civilian girl in the name of the talent show, but pushed it to the emperor and ruined the wisdom of the emperor, it would be the crime of beheading!"
Junzhu Liu showed a look of horror on his face. Xiao Buyi said coldly: "You are a county magistrate. You actually use your own business to help others. Where is the daughter of Sun's family hiding? Tell me now. I will spare you and never die!"
With a wave of his hand, the guard beside him had already stepped forward to hold Liu Juncheng and pressed his neck with a long sword. Xiao Buyi said coldly: "I count to three. If I don't tell the true whereabouts of the Sun family's daughter, I will chop off your head."
Juncheng Liu was sweating profusely, leaned over and kowtowed, and said tremblingly: "General Xiao, please spare me, the villain knows the crime, and the daughter of the Sun family is hidden in my house..."
Xiao Buyi smiled and waved his hand and said, "Let him go, what to do with the rest depends on Lord Yang's order."
Yang Wang's face turned pale and waved, "Put him into death penalty and take this woman to the Liu family to find her daughter."
Juncheng Liu begged, "General Xiao, you said you want to spare my life, how can you go back on your word?"
Xiao Buyi said calmly: "I said to spare your life, but Lord Yang wants to deal with you, what does it have to do with me?"
The soldiers took Liu Juncheng away, and Mrs. Sun was grateful to her and followed the soldiers away. Xu Shiji in the restaurant sighed in his heart. If he had dealt with this matter and asked him about the night visit, there would be no result in a few days. Xiao Buyi's decision of a few words made people feel that the accuracy of the judgment was touching.
Yang Wang didn't feel glorious when his subordinates engaged in private fraud, and said with a forced smile: "Fortunately, the emperor is so clear that he is not good at doing things well. If he makes such subordinates, it is also the fault of his subordinates."
Xiao Buyi sighed softly: "Mr. Yang is so ruthless. With the wise and wise, he cannot observe everything personally, let alone Mr. Yang?"
Yang Wang felt that what Xiao Buyi said seemed to have a deep meaning and was a bit inconsistent, so he could only say: "General Xiao said very well."
Mrs. Sun's affairs seemed just an ordinary episode, and did not delay Xiao Buyi's time. The two rode their horses forward, and before they could take a few steps, they suddenly saw the people in front of them making noises. A big cart was full of firewood, which was ignited for some reason. The tail of the old ox pulling the cart also caught fire, burning wildly, and rushed towards this direction!
There was no owner in the car, and the soldiers shouted loudly, and the beast went crazy. How could he understand the soldiers' intimidation? The old cow walked forward frantically and instantly hit a soldier and stepped on his feet. The soldiers saved their lives were important, and they all went to the side.
To be continued...
