Two-fifty-three(1/2)
.
Xiao Buyi rode his horse forward. Everyone understood and puzzled, but they were all following behind Xiao Buyi.
Xu Shiji looked at Xiao Buyi and others walking away, but turned around and disappeared. He must have been waiting in front of him, and he was moved.
He never thought that Zhai Rang would come over to find him, and the bearded man was Zhai Rang. The man and woman around him were Zhai Wushuang and Zhai Mosheng, and the two who assassinated Xiao Buyi last time.
Xu Shiji knew that he owed Zhai Rang a lot, but he now owed Xiao Buyi more.
Although Zhai Rang was rescued by Li Mi's plan, the Wagang people were full of suspicion of Xu Shiji, but Xu Shiji knew that this had nothing to do with Xiao Buyi, so he still owed Xiao Buyi the favor. When Xu Shiji turned around to meet Xiao Buyi, he met Zhai Wushuang and Zhai Mosheng and were arrested. Xiao Buyi actually handed the two to Xu Shiji again and asked him to deal with it. As for Zhai Rang not to be taken to the east, Xiao Buyi had never asked. Xu Shiji always thought that Xiao Buyi would not have expected that he would let Zhai Rang, Zhai Wushuang and others. He acted so risky that he might have planned the date and prepared to rebel. Afterwards, it proved Xu Shiji's idea. Xiao Buyi had planned many things long ago, and whether Zhai Rang was taken to the east had nothing to do with the overall situation.
Zhai Rang, Zhai Wushuang and others were of course insignificant in Xiao Buyi's eyes, but in Xu Shiji's eyes, they had a heavy weight. After Xu Shiji took Zhai Wushuang and Zhai Mosheng out of Liangjun City, he told them that although the Wagang was broken, Zhai Rang and others were still there, so that they could turn around. Don't assassinate Xiao Buyi again. He could save the two of them once, but he could not save them for a lifetime. Zhai Wushuang left with Zhai Mosheng half-believingly. Xu Shiji looked at them and thought that the favor he had given to Zhai Rang was almost the same.
He revolted very early, but over the years, he seemed to be mediocre. In Xu Shiji's eyes, Yang Guang went south and the opportunity to dominate the world finally came. He knew that Xiao Buyi was also preparing and couldn't help but feel excited. The troubled times were the time for men to make achievements. Following Xiao Buyi should have great achievements, but he did not expect to meet Zhai Rang again at this time!
He finished talking about how much Yuchi Gong felt, but he didn't expect that he would fall into ordinary fields in a flash.
Seeing Xu Shiji remained silent, Zhai Rang sighed. "Shiji. I have always felt that I have misunderstood you, but you also know that I am in a difficult situation. So many people in the village are doubting you, and I can't defend you. After Wushuang turned around, he told me that you saved them. I understood that although you left Wagang, you have always been thinking about us. Even without Li Mi, I think you will let us go, right?"
Xu Shiji finally said: "Many things are without if. They can never be repeated after the past. It is better not to say anything about the past. However, the leader of the village and General Xiao have great grudges. Please be careful and leave early."
Zhai Rang heard Xu Shiji call the village leader and his eyes were filled with tears. "What's wrong with this? I was picked up by my life. Now he is also a thief, and I am also a thief. He is also a thief and he will no longer have any conflicts of interest. What's more, if I can meet Shiji, what's the point even if I take risks."
He turned over and got off the horse and came to Xu Shiji. After hesitating, Xu Shiji also jumped off the horse, "I don't know what the leader of the village is asking for me?"
"What's the matter? Of course, I'm asking Brother Xu to return to Wagang." Zhai Wushuang said loudly: "Brother Xu has always had great talents, and Wagang can't do without you!"
Zhai Mosheng also said, "Yes, Brother Xu, Wushuang and I tried our best to defend you. Now everyone in Wagang has eliminated the misunderstandings about you, and the village leader has come to find you in person. Brother Xu, although Wagang has been broken, our foundation is still there. Now Li Mi is planning..."
Zhai Rang coughed and interrupted the underground text of Zhai Mosheng, hoping to say: "Shiji, everyone is a passionate man, and there are inevitably some misunderstandings. Now that the misunderstanding is eliminated, Xiao Buyi is also a bandit. I believe that there is no way to do anything. You may not be able to develop with him than Wagang. If that is the case, how about not revolving around with me today?"
Xiao Buyi nodded, jumped off his horse, and found a rock and sat down.
Sun Shaofang was a little anxious, "Boss Xiao, you can't do this all the time. Zhai Rang obviously came over to let Xu Shiji turn around. How could you let it go? Yuchi Gong was let go by you, and now he has defected to Liu Wuzhou. Now it's Xu Shiji's turn again, if he leaves..."
"If he dares to leave, I will catch him back." Pei Xingyan couldn't help but say.
Xiao Buyi smiled, "Shaofang, if Yang Guang issued an order to command the Imperial Guards now, would you turn around?"
Sun Shaofang shook his head, "I only believe that you can have a way out after following Boss Xiao."
Xiao Buyi looked at Pei Xingyan and said, "If the emperor issued an order and entrust Xingyan as the general, and everything is gone, will you go back?"
Pei Xingyan shook his head, "I only believe that you will have a better future with Boss Xiao. The general is nothing! Besides, if there is a big chaos today, the emperor may not be able to sit steadily, and the position of the general is even more important than mentioning!"
Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Since you all understand this truth, how can Xu Shiji not understand? If he abandons me and takes Zhai Rang, then I have nothing to say. It will rain and my mother wants to get married. There are many things that cannot be forced."
Pei Xingyan and Sun Shaofang looked at each other and thought to himself what his mother wanted to get married. The meaning is profound. Boss Xiao always speaks profoundly. Although he is worried about Xu Shiji, he can only wait for Xiao Buyi's contemplation and is confident in his heart. "Zhai Wushuang asked. Lin Lei
"Brother Xu, everyone is waiting for you. The village leader comes to invite you in person. Can you still not change your mind like this?" Zhai Mosheng asked in confusion.
Zhai Rang said sincerely: "Shiji, Lingzun has already gone south. Now we are looking for you around Liang County, but we have seen you first before him. If Shiji holds it hard, you can see Lingzun when you go to Liang County."
Xu Shiji was a filial son, and Zhai Rang certainly understood. When he brought Xu Shiji into the gang, he actually had a lot to do with Xu's father. Zhai Rang originally intended to make friends with Xu Shiji, and with Xu's father's bargaining chips, he brought Xu Shiji back. It was not an impulse to come to Xu Shiji, but because of his foresight.
Just because Wagang was destroyed, Zhai Rang was not enterprising. He was quite weak, and his image of begging for mercy and running for life was exaggerated to an unprecedented level. In addition to a few loyal people, even Shan Xiongxin looked at him differently from the past. On the contrary, Li Mi was silent and steady, and because of the rumors about Taolizi, the bandits near Wagang slowly surrendered. He remembered that Xu Shiji was in time. His scenery was very different from his current down-and-out situation. He only felt that although Xu Shiji was smart, he was considered his own pony grass, so he had the idea of looking for Xu Shiji to turn around.
I thought that when it came to Xu's father, Xu Shiji turned around, but he refused to look at him, but he didn't expect that Xu Shiji looked at the distance, thinking that people were different from others, Zhai Rang was far inferior to Xiao Buyi. Xiao Buyi always looked at him with brothers. He was brave and courageous. Xiao Buyi's cautiousness was completely different from Zhai Rang's indecisiveness. He treated him sincerely, but Zhai Rang knew to use his father's threat and he was called a hero in vain. He was hesitant and was too distorted.
Xu Shiji had made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Master, Shiji is now valued by General Xiao. He is happy to live. As long as there is Li Mi for one day, there will be no place for me to stand in my arms. If Li Mi leaves one day and General Xiao treats others kindly, the master of the village can join forces with General Xiao to protect Wagang from worry. If he goes by again, he is afraid that he will be too late to regret it. Shiji says this, so please think twice."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to get on the horse. Zhai Rang was a little anxious and knelt down and said, "Shiji, are you really unwilling to forgive me?"
Zhai Wushuang was angry and annoyed, and reached out to pull his father, "Dad, what are you doing? Is there only Xu Shiji in the world? Xu Shiji, you really disappoint me!"
When Zhai Wushuang said this, his eyes turned red and he stomped his feet repeatedly. Zhai Mosheng snorted coldly: "Xu Shiji, if you leave, we will be ruthless from now on. Where can we go? Think carefully."
With three people and three attitudes, Xu Shiji stopped and turned around to look at Zhai Rang who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly took a few steps forward.
Zhai Rang was a little surprised and wanted to say something, but Xu Shiji also knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Zhai Rang.
Everyone was shocked. Although Xiao Buyi was peaceful and ignored the movements, Zhou Muru from the distance had been secretly watching Xu Shiji's actions. Seeing Xu Shiji kneeling down, Zhou Muru shouted in a low voice: "Boss Xiao, it's not good. Xu Shiji kowtowed to Zhai Rang and admitted his mistake. Your kind and righteous act cannot resist Zhai Rang's shamelessness!"
A Su also said, "Boss, you have said that a tree will die without bark. People are shameless and invincible in the world. Zhai Rang is shameless and you may not be able to compete with him."
Xiao Buyi smiled and said calmly: "If Xu Shiji turned to Wagang, just use his legs, and there is no need to kowtow."
Sun Shaofang Pei Xingyan looked at each other and nodded slowly.
Xu Shiji knelt down and said, "The master of the village knows that he has met Shiji and saves his father's kindness. Shiji will not dare to forget it for a day. But now I have decided to ask the master of the village to let go. If the master of the village is in trouble in the future, as long as he greets him, if Shiji knows, there is no reason to stand firm."
Zhai Rang's lips blew twice, his eyes were dull, and tears flowed. Xu Shiji rose up and turned over the horse. Zhai Rang suddenly said, "Shiji, the red willows we planted in Wagang that day were already very thick. Please turn around one day to take a look."
Zhai Rang still didn't give up and wanted to win over another one with his affection. When everyone was uprising and established themselves in Wagang, Xu Shiji rose on a whim and followed the ancients' methods and planted a red willow with everyone. It was said that the day when the red willow flourished, and that the time when the Wgang flourished. Zhai Rang mentioned the red willow at this moment, of course, he still hoped that Xu Shiji would go back and forth.
Xu Shiji immediately felt sad, and clasped his fists for a while and said, "The master of the village, Shiji was young and young, ignorant and frivolous, but now he remembered the true meaning of what the ancients said, but the wood is still like this, how can the person be able to bear it? Please take care of the village."
After he finished speaking, he walked forward without any nostalgia, and he did not turn his head and disappeared in the distant green grass and mountain. When Zhai Rang saw Xu Shiji disappear, he sat down powerlessly and sighed, "Why is the wood still like this? I am old, Shiji will not help me."
Zhai Wushuang reached out to help his father and said angrily: "Dad, don't be depressed. Now that Li Mi is here, she is even more powerful than Shiji. We ask Xu Shiji to turn around is nostalgic. He doesn't appreciate it, so he can only say that he is ungrateful, which is his loss. By the day of the revitalization of Wagang, he will probably come back and beg us to take in!"
"Xu Shiji's father is still in Liang County..." Zhai Mosheng suddenly said.
Zhai Rang finally stood up and shook his head and said, "Don't tell Shijidi's father about this matter, just say we are still looking for it. Although Li Mi is powerful and has great means. He has always been very respectful to me, but Shiji reminded me twice to beware of it. It seems that he has to be careful."
Xu Shiji rode his horse to the turn of the intersection and saw Xiao Buyi and a few others already boarding the horse. He stared at Xiao Buyi and said, "Thank you for waiting for General Xiao."
Xiao Buyi smiled lazily and said, "Shiji is worth my waiting."
He said without any doubt, and Xu Shiji was moved and said nothing more. He urged the horse forward with everyone.
Everyone walked not far away. A horse was walking around the corner in front of him, and immediately sat upright with a woman in black clothes and gauze scarf. Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "I'm waiting for a meal."
The woman in black clothes and gauze scarf was of course the one who jumped off the cliff with Xiao Buyi. Until now, Xiao Buyi still didn't know her name. She didn't ask if the woman didn't say it, but Xiao Buyi didn't ask, just called her a savory meal.
The woman in black said indifferently: "Xiao Buyi is worth my waiting."
She said that Xiao Buyi said to Xu Shiji as if she had heard the conversation between everyone, but the meaning was very different from what Xiao Buyi said.
"I want to move westward, I don't know where you are going?" Xiao Buyi asked.
"Then I will also move westward, don't forget that the covenant between you and me is still there." The woman in black said calmly.
Xiao Buyi nodded and rode his horse forward. The woman in black followed slowly.
Even though the brothers have experienced hardships, they still can't tell what the relationship between this woman and Xiao Buyi.
The two of them’s covenant seems not to be a vow, a scattered life.
If it were normal, a woman was waiting for a man without asking, she would definitely have such an idea for a man. Even if she was pretentious, there was still some trace after all, but this time it was an exception. The brothers felt that this woman was interested in Xiao Buyi and had a ghost.
But since Boss Xiao had no objection, the brothers didn't ask much. Zhou Muru asked kindly, "Boss Xiao, from here to west, we will soon arrive in Runan. Miss Pei and Qiaoxi are waiting for you."
Yuan Lan smiled and said, "Qiaoxi must have missed Buyi very much."
Xiao Buyi sighed softly, "I actually miss Qiaoxi and Beier all day long. I don't know if they are good now?" When she said this, Xiao Buyi's heart was full of sweetness and warmth, but she couldn't help but think of Meng Chenxue, thinking that Pei Bei and Qiaoxi had a companion, but Meng Chenxue was alone in the grassland. In her life, none of these three women seemed to be able to give up, but the increasingly tense atmosphere and the environment where the knife was licking blood on the blade was really not convenient to bring them by her side.
When will this kind of busy days end? Xiao Buyi sighed secretly, and under his heroic spirit, he couldn't help but be confused.
Yuan Lan saw Xiao Buyi's thoughts, but thought he was missing Qiaoxi and Pei Bei, and felt relieved.
Yuan Lan and Xiao Buyi’s relationship is far better than others. It is because he has been persistent, but of course he still wants to kiss her. This time, he suggests that Xiao Buyi avoid the limelight first, so he will go to Runan to talk to him first, wanting to finalize the marriage first.
Although the main house is not important, the status of the house is always at ease. Qiaoxi is well-behaved and cute, but Pei Bei and Xiao Buyi are life-and-death lovers. If you talk about feelings, of course Pei Bei and Xiao Buyi are deeper. Yuan Lan's reason for getting close to Qiaoxi and Pei Bei actually had the idea of two daughters sharing the same husband. He is a businessman, but in fact he is more realistic than many people see. Sometimes when he fights, he actually loses. He only gets more. In Yuan Lan's eyes, a man has three wives and four concubines. Even if he wins the main house, if Xiao Buyi does not have Qiaoxi in his heart, it will be worth the loss.
Although Yuan Lan is low-key, if it is really decided, no one can change it. When he arrived in Kyoto, he thought that Xiao Buyi would not be an official, but since he decided to cooperate with Xiao Buyi, he would also support him. Although Xiao Buyi was in the position of Taipu Shaoqing, he was indeed very strong, but in fact it was closely related to Yuan Lan's connections. When Xiao Buyi was promoted to the General of the Right Guard, Yuan Lan was not surprised, but Li Liwei was afraid. Now Xiao Buyi was being chased. Although it was urgent, Yuan Lan felt relieved.
When Zhou Muru and Yuan Lan mentioned Yuan Qiaoxi and Pei Bei, they all looked at the woman in black and thought to themselves, no matter what, there would always be someone who came first and then. Even if your martial arts skills are not bad, they can only be considered a side room. The woman in black turned a blind eye and was indifferent. The two shook their heads secretly, thinking that they were a beauty who gave the blind man a charming look. It was in vain.
After Xu Shiji and Zhai Rang broke up, they kept pondering something. When they heard the word Runan, their eyes lit up. "Boss Xiao, are you going to Runan this time?"
Xiao Buyi nodded, "Brother Yuan has a good foundation in Runan. We are all wanted by the court now. Don't act rashly. Let's plan for a long-term plan before talking."
Xu Shiji nodded, "Boss Xiao said that, but I'll ask you boldly, Boss Xiao decides to do it in the future? Everyone follows you, you must have a purpose."
As soon as he said that he could only hear the sound of horse hooves, and everyone looked at Xiao Buyi. Only the woman in black slowly fell behind and was far away from everyone. She acted indifferently, but she was sensible. She knew that what everyone was going to discuss was important. She made it clear that she didn't want to listen more.
Xiao Buyi frowned slightly, "What should I do? I have no conclusion yet. In fact, my original intention was to go to Mayi after arriving in Runan, where the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Yang Guang wanted to deal with us...."
He also gradually changed. Although he began to be ambitious and ready to go, he still had no definite goal when he thought of conquering the world.
Zhou Muru and Asu nodded, and Asu said, "It's good to go to Mayi. Our foundation is there, and it's close to the grassland. It's convenient to attack and retreat. Li Juncheng is also here, and everyone is together, it's easier to do things."
Pei Xingyan shook his head, "The place in Mayi is small and remote, what's the point? I think General Xiao has already gained his reputation and is famous all over the world. It's better to find a good place to rise up and get up."
Zhou Muru and Asu looked at each other and said, "What's the best for rebellion? Isn't it better to sell horses? When Boss Xiao became the general, we certainly didn't have anything to say, just because we were afraid that Boss Xiao would be hindered. Now the general has not done it, so it's better to do business."
The two of them had limited knowledge and did not expect much development. Pei Xingyan had great ambitions and shook his head and said, "How can we do business and rob the world."
Xiao Buyi smiled, "I don't know what Shiji thinks?"
Xu Shiji cheered up, "Boss Xiao, I actually think what Xingyan said makes sense. Boss Xiao, you are now so powerful that if you go to sell horses again, won't people laugh out loud?"
"Are you going around robbing like you?" Zhou Muru said dissatisfied.
Xu Shiji shook his head, "This is a bad word. Haven't the ancients said that those who steal hooks will be killed, and those who steal the country will be princes. A small-scale fight will be killed, but if you take over the world, you will have to kill others' land. Who dares to say that you are a thief?"
Zhou Muru and A Ru looked at each other, "Do you say you want Boss Xiao to be the emperor?"
"What's wrong?" Pei Xingyan said loudly: "Why would you rather have a king, prince, general, and minister? According to my opinion, Boss Xiao is an extraordinary figure in the Sui Dynasty, and it is also impossible to be an emperor. At that time, you and I will be founding heroes, and your fame will spread far and wide, and you will not be much better than selling horses?"
He was inspiring with great enthusiasm, but A Rue frowned and looked around, muttering, "Just because of us?"
Xiao Buyi looks like there are not many people around him now, no wonder A Rue has no faith
