Chapter 212: Heart is as strong as iron

Views:

[The public was sitting for two months, and the prime minister made it up based on the incident in Xiangyang, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to preside over the trial. They were still troubled by each other, and turned around to falsely accuse the eldest son, Yunmou, of raising an army to save his father. Respond to it and avoid the suffering." Yun Angrily said, "I'm dead and dead, how can I leave a stigma in the world?"

If the prison is not completed, all the generals of the public ministry will be ordered to appease the hearts of the army, and they will write a letter to protect the memorial. Only the Duke of Burmese Wen enters the river, and raises troops to save him, but stops him in Jiangling. Shang Xiang blamed the public for this, and the public persuaded him with a personal letter. Yu Mian got the letter and retreated in despair. Shang Xiang also did not dare to blame him, thinking that the public ministry would end up in chaos, and wanted to pardon him.

Mu Ke Ning Qian heard this, and Yin persuaded Shang Xiang: "The general is here, all the generals rely on him, the general is dead, and the family members of all generals are in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no leader. Hu dares to rebel." Shang Xiangzi Chengye also Persuade him: "It is easy to capture a tiger, but difficult to control a tiger. Since it has become an enemy, it cannot be forgiven. Otherwise, my father and son will die without a place to be buried."

Shang Xiang was determined, and entered the palace late at night to ask for a secret edict.

— "The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties·Zhongwu Gongzhuan"〗

On December 7th, the north wind was blowing snow. The winter in the south of the Yangtze River was even colder this year. The city of Jianye was desolate. In the long-abandoned "Qiao's Garden" in the city, the atmosphere was even colder and chilling. There are several pavilions and pavilions, but most of them are dilapidated houses that are ventilated everywhere. The cold wind in winter is raging in them.

In one of the widest pavilions, it was equally cold and gloomy, but there was not even a brazier. The cold wind blew in through the gaps in the planks, making the room look like an ice cave, but the man living here was As if he didn't realize it, although he was only wearing a gray half-old cotton robe, the biting cold didn't seem to make him shiver a little. And he was still wearing shackles and shackles weighing more than ten kilograms. With a slight movement, there was a tinkling sound, and there were even red and swollen scars on his wrists and ankles, but the man looked indifferent, as if he didn't care, and his eyes were flowing, Seeing the snow flakes drifting into the room from the broken window lattice, the man suddenly showed a smile, walked to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed open the two broken windows, and looked at the abandoned garden like a weave of snow. Letting the snow blowing towards him, strands of strands infiltrated into the front of the clothes and the hairline. When he opened the window to watch the snow, I don't know how many eyes were on him, and the vigilance in those eyes disappeared until he realized that he had not changed.

At this time, someone outside the door coughed lightly, and then an old man in purple clad the door pushed in, and behind him was a scholar in blue shirt, holding a food box in one hand and a wine jar in the other. The man was still looking out the window, not caring who was coming. Seeing this, the old man in purple felt a sense of admiration in his heart. If an ordinary person was detained in such a place for more than a month, he would be dying. Besides, this person was originally the respected general of the general. Even if he was not a brocade and jade food, how could he have suffered such pain? , but this man is still stubborn, never heard him say a single bitter word, and never saw him speak ill of others. If it wasn't for the Xiangye's instructions, I'm afraid I wouldn't want to torture him like this. The scholar looked at the man who was looking at the snow from the window, with a complex look in his eyes, put the food box in his hand aside, took out a sumptuous meal, then took out a beautiful silver pot, and a wine, poured A full glass was placed on the table. The old man in purple said respectfully, "General, please have a meal."

Lu Can turned around. Although he was imprisoned for a few months, he was thin and had a sick look on his face, but his eyes were still bright, and there was no sadness like the end of a hero. He glanced at the abundant food and wine, his eyes swept across the face of the unfamiliar scholar in Tsing Yi, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ou came to deliver food and wine in person today, and it was a change from usual, it was not cold prison food, presumably Shang Xiang already had it. Decide, today is the time when Lu Mou died."

The purple-clothed old man Euro Ning had a shy look on his face. After Lu Can was imprisoned, he had also been tortured and forced to confess. However, Lu Can refused to give in, and there were dissatisfied voices in the court and the opposition. Lu Yun forced a confession. However, Shang Weijun is also vicious. He knows that for someone with high power like Lu Can, some quiet humiliation can lessen his will. Although it may not be able to force Lu Can to submit, it can humiliate the always tough guy. Clan's archenemy was also content, but unfortunately it backfired. Although Lu Can suffered so much, he didn't have the slightest intention to give in except for his eyes becoming more indifferent.

Euro Ning sighed softly, feeling uneasy in his heart, and said: "The general's eyes are like torches, the lord of the country has issued an decree, today is the day of the general's death, an hour later, the edict of death will be delivered, Shang Xiangyu I decree that the general is an important official of the imperial court, and should not be taken lightly when he is about to leave, so he ordered wine to be sent to him."

There was no anger on Lu Can's face, he looked at Song Yu and said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Song Yu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lu Can to hear that the deadline was imminent, but he was not angry, but he was still interested in asking about his origin, he stepped forward and said, "Song Yu, the grass-man, is a close friend of the son of Shang Xiang, I heard that the general will go. , so I came to see him off, and although the general was imprisoned, I don't know how many people in Jianye City wanted to rescue the general. Before the general situation was uncertain, these people did not dare to do it lightly. Now that the death edict has been issued, it is inevitable that news will be leaked. I am afraid that some people will come to rob the prison, knowing that the general situation is unstoppable, so I ordered Senior Ou to come and set up an ambush in person.

Euro Ning frowned, although what Song Yu said was not false, Shang Weijun added many experts to guard Qiao's Garden just because he was worried that someone would rob the prison. Song Yu came here for this reason, but But it doesn't have to be undisguised, let's speak bluntly.

After hearing this, Lu Can felt that Song Yu had a straightforward temperament and was not rigid. He smiled and said, "That's it, you can accompany Lu for a few drinks and wait for the edict to come."

Song Yu looked at Euro Ning, Euro Ning thought, Song Yu's kung fu is excellent. With him here, even if there is any change, he can kill Lu Can first. After all, it's an outsider, it's hard to trust, it's better to inspect it yourself. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Since the general has such a good mood, Song Yu should obey his orders." After that, he took out the key and removed the shackles for Lu Can himself, and said, "General, please drink slowly, the old man will go down first." After giving Song Yu a wink, Song Yu nodded slightly, and Euroning turned around and walked out.

Lu Can took off the shackles and felt much more relaxed. He walked to the table and raised his wine cup. He drank it all at once, and said, "Good wine, you can sit down too. You can't drink without company. It's too lonely to be alone."

Song Yu glanced at the house, took a teacup with a gap and came over. After a full glass of wine, he filled Lu Can's glass again, and raised his glass: "If you can get the wine from the general, the grass people will be very favored." drink up.

Lu Can smiled slightly, sipped the wine, smiled calmly, and slowly asked about Song Yu's life experience, but Song Yu didn't hide it, except that he belonged to a secret camp and never leaked, even the fact that he was a killer. talk. However, within a few words, Song Yu felt that the general in front of him was amiable and sincere, making people feel like enjoying the spring breeze, like drinking alcohol, but Lu Can also felt that although this young man was often angry and depressed, he was also very talented. , when asked about military strategy, there is a lot of insight in his words, and there are merits in his character and bearing. He couldn't help but persuade: "Song son is very talented and should serve the country. The prime minister is highly regarded, and he should serve the country from the military, and if he wants to come, the prime minister will agree."

Surprise flashed in Song Yu's eyes, and he said, "The general was framed by Shang Xiang, and the lord of the country ordered him to die. Could it be that there is no complaint at all, and he still wants to persuade the grass-roots to serve the country?"

Lu Can said indifferently: "I am not a sage, so how can I have no grudges, but grudges are full of grudges, and Mr. Lu's heart of serving the country with loyalty will not change a little. After I die, Shang Xiang will definitely squeeze and suppress Mr. Lu's old clan. I saw that Song Gongzi quite If you have great talents, you have to trust each other, if you can lead the army into battle, it will be the luck of the country and the soldiers." After speaking, the words changed, but he was talking about some experience of leading the army in the past.

Song Yu became more and more amazed, thinking that he had been adhering to Jiang Zhe's order, and that he had attacked him several times. This person has reached the point where he can't blame himself. He couldn't help but feel remorse and regret. , finally couldn't help bowing down to the tunnel: "The general is so loving, it is hard to be ashamed, trapping the general to death, the grass-roots crime is very light, why dare to listen to the advice again."

Lu Can was a little surprised when he heard this. Although this young man was valued by Shang Weijun, he was not qualified to offer advice. How could he say that?

Seeing Lu Can's expression, Song Yuyue became remorseful and opened his mouth to speak, but he remembered that even if he told this person about it, it was just salting the wound, which was harmful and useless. ."

Lu Can's expression darkened, and he said, "If that's the case, you can go." He is also a person with a clear mind, and he has a faint sense of it. Seeing Song Yu walking out of the room, he smiled bitterly and looked out the window, but a little At that time, the flying snow outside the window became more blurred, dancing with the wind, like a dream, and in a trance, I couldn't help but think of the old days, one after another, one by one, all unforgettable.

Suddenly, in the blurred snow shadow, a string of piano sounds suddenly came. The piano sounds were like flying snow, inextricably linked, pervasive, aloof, cold, and unpredictable. Lu Can only felt that his mind was ups and downs with the piano sound, and his energy and blood were rising and falling. On the surge, his heart was shocked, and he walked to the window a few steps, letting the snowflakes hit his face, then he calmed down and looked into the garden with bright eyes. But I saw blood splashing from time to time in the vast snow and fog, like red plum blossoms, one after another, the sound of fighting, screaming, and the sound of the collision of the sword followed, disturbing this quiet snow scene.

Lu Can knew that someone came to rob the prison, and doubts arose in his heart. All the old ministries had received his strict orders and were absolutely not allowed to come to Jianye to make trouble. Who would come to rob the prison? Song Yu said earlier that he was only suspicious of Shang Weijun. , Unexpectedly, someone actually robbed the prison. Listening carefully, I can only feel that the killing sounds are coming from all directions. The attacking people are quite organized, not like a mob, but the progress is difficult. Obviously, Shang Weijun is also deploying heavy troops here, intending to catch everyone in the future. Lu Can's thoughts turned around, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition. Could it be that someone is around, trying to make all the heroes of Southern Chu die here. Only now, only by stepping forward and making those who came to rob the prison immediately retreat, can this calamity be avoided.

Thinking of this, Lu Can jumped out of the window and headed for the place where the sound of the killing was loudest. At this moment, he removed the shackles. Although his vitality was severely injured due to months of imprisonment, he was still strong. Unexpectedly, just as he fell into the snow, someone stood in front of him, and a folding fan suddenly opened and closed, blocking his way. Lu Can looked at Song Yu with a stern expression and shouted, "Get out of the way, this general will never let me, Nan Chu Junjie, kill each other."

Although Song Yu admired Lu Can for seeing the mystery so quickly, and he was not blinded by the idea of ​​survival, he thought that the strict order he had received was to keep Lu Can here, and he must not be allowed to stop this doomed tragedy. , his eyes flashed a stern look, and said: "Caomin was ordered to not allow the general to leave this place a step. Before the emperor's edict arrives, he also asked the general to drink in the room, but the general does not need to worry about the outside affairs."

A cold light flashed in Lu Can's eyes, and he shouted, "Are you from Chu or from Yong?"

Song Yu trembled in his heart, but raised his head and said, "Song was born in Southern Chu and grew up in Southern Chu."

Lu Can saw through the hidden meaning in his words, and sneered: "But you don't think you are from Chu, but yes, if not, why did you stop Lu's good intentions to quell the fight?"

Song Yu said in his heart: "If the general goes here at this moment, he will definitely not escape the poisonous hand. If he stays here, and if someone wins, the general can still survive. Isn't it the best of both worlds, why should he seek death." Go, Lu Can is not very good at this kind of martial arts. He was trapped by Song Yu and couldn't get out. The chill in his heart became more and more, thinking that even if he sacrificed his life, he would not be able to avoid the disaster of civil strife. In the meantime, the more and more desperate thoughts occurred.

Several dozen feet away, Euro Ning stood in the snow, clasped his hands tightly, facing the figure in white clothed and masked, sitting upright and playing the piano, his eyes were splitting. Just a moment ago, the attack came suddenly, and Euroning almost watched this man break into the crowd. Fortunately, this man seemed to be alone, but he rushed into Qiao's garden alone. Euro Ning made everyone refuse to guard and chased after him himself. Unexpectedly, the man was so cruel. The more than ten guards who stayed in the garden were easily killed by this man. What is even more hateful is that this man was actually sitting in the snow. Playing the qin, the sound of the qin was like a sharp blade, and the sound seemed to cut off his own liver and intestines. Among the corpses on the ground were his two disciples, who were in their prime of youth, but now they have died tragically in front of their eyes. Euroning wanted to take action many times, but he clearly saw that the man in white was sitting on the snow playing the piano, completely unprepared, but he felt that there was no flaw in his whole body, and he was completely unsure, so he couldn't help hating him. While thinking about who this person is, Jiangnan has never heard of such a master, and while looking for an opportunity to make a move, his heart became more and more depressed, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly found that the snowflakes within a radius of zhang and Xu were all following him. The sound of the piano was dancing, which was very different from the flying snow that was several feet away. He suddenly realized that the person's piano sound had formed a net, locking him up. If he didn't make a move, he would only die.

Desire to die was born in his heart, and with a roar, Euro Ning's body was full of energy, and those strange snowflakes flew in all directions. He suddenly felt that the pressure on his body was lightened. , the snowflakes splashed, the man let out a long laugh, put away the qin, got up to meet him, a faint voice came from Euro Ning's ears and said: "The skill of the qin sound hurting the enemy is still unfinished, it's up to you, old man. You can pick me up some tricks!" Before his voice stopped, Euro Ning felt that the man was in front of his eyes, with his long sleeves flying, a white right hand was hidden in the sleeve, and he wanted to send it out. The ability also surprised Euroning. With a loud bang, the palms met across the man's sleeves, and the man's sleeves shattered like pieces of butterflies. Euroning only felt that the man's internal strength was illusory, this palm seemed to hit the air, but the man also fled in shock, saying: "What a cotton palm, it seems feminine and strong, and one palm has nine gravity, it is worthy of it. There are needles hidden in the cotton."

Euro Ning was a little settled. Although this man's martial arts skills are unbelievable, he may not be much stronger than himself. It's just that his martial arts skills are weird and his movements are unpredictable. , and attacked the man again. Song Yu's voice could be heard faintly in his ears, thinking that he was blocking Lu Can. If he missed, and let this person save Lu Can, wouldn't it be a catastrophe. Thinking of this, he didn't have any secrets, and attacked the man in white with all his might.

This time, the fight was different from the previous one, and there was an even balance between the two. In fact, although the man in white was better than Euning in realm and knowledge, Euning had deep internal strength, old and strong, and one traded off the other, and the man in white wanted to win. Not an easy task. In the turbulent palm wind and fist shadows, Feixue danced with them, and the figures of the two were tangled together. Except for Euroning's purple clothes Shang could see a shadow, the figure of the white clothed man had already blended with Feixue, regardless of each other. .

Among the fans of Xue Ying, there were scattered whistles in the ears of the man in white, and he was startled, knowing that the heroes of the rivers and lakes who came with him had already suffered more than half of the casualties. The figure that rushed towards Euroning suddenly stopped, and with a slap in the air, the flying snow rushed towards his face. Euroning was stunned, and saw the Venus looming in the snowflakes. Excruciating pain, I stretched out my hand to touch it, only to feel the blood gushing out. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew out of the sleeve of the man in white, like a dragon dancing, and instantly wrapped around Euro Ning's neck. Euroning shouted loudly, hating the shameless plot of the man in white, and slapped the man with a palm regardless of his life and death. This time, he put all his strength into it, but the man in white was not able to dodge completely, and the palm was slapped on the shoulder of the man in white. . The man in white took advantage of the situation to retreat like a meteor and lightning. Euro Ning was dragged by a long whip, but he felt that his breathing was not smooth, and he was also dragged forward. Euroning was overjoyed, but he didn't care that the whip on his neck was tightening more and more, and he tried his best to hit the man in white with a palm. Unexpectedly, the man in white came to a sudden stop, went straight up against the trunk, and flew over the horizontal branches. , fell rapidly. In an instant, the movement turned into silence. Euroning's tall body swayed in the wind, his limbs drooped softly, his neck was broken, and he was strangled to death on a tree in the garden.

The man in white coughed lightly, lifted his veil, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the snow. The bright red was like a plum petal, and he sighed: "This man is indeed a good opponent, but it's a pity that I don't have time to have a good discussion with you. If you die like this, you must be I won't be reconciled." After taking back the long whip, Euroning's body fell to the ground, causing snow and dust to fill the sky. The man in white walked back to his original place, picked up the guqin, which was almost covered by snow, and walked towards the garden without looking at the corpses lying around.

Lu Can could only feel the blood rushing up in his chest and he was out of breath. The torture of these days made him no longer able to fight against this young man Song Yu, but after more than a hundred moves, he could no longer support it. Seeing that the young man was still in high spirits, He couldn't help sighing softly, exited the battle circle, leaned on the wall, and said, "Who are you, if you are really Shang Weijun's confidant, you should kill me now, seeing that you have no killing intent, is it really as I expected , you are actually a meticulous work by Yong people."

Song Yu said lightly: "The general is overthinking it, I'm not the one who made it meticulously." He said lightly, but his eyes seemed to be looking at the unfathomable depths through the endless flying snow.

At this time, the man in white was approaching. His eyes swept across Lu Can, and stayed on Song Yu for a moment. Song Yu trembled in his heart and quietly retreated behind Lu Can. Although he did not know who this person was, he However, he knew that since this person could pretend to be the master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he must be a close confidant of the husband, so he couldn't help being frightened, but at this moment, Lu Can was more able to reassure him. The man in white didn't say anything, his figure suddenly retreated and disappeared in the snow. Suspicion flashed in Lu Can's eyes, and he looked back at Song Yu. Seeing that his expression was silent and a little uneasy, Lu Can's heart moved slightly.

In addition to Shang Weijun's confidant warriors, there are also some female swordsmen in strong suits who led the crowd to stop the righteous people who came to rob the prison outside the Qiao's Garden. There are two leaders of their leaders, both of whom are covered with veils. , one person was dressed in splendid makeup, the other person was dressed in green clothes, and the sword qi was like frost. . Ding Ming quickly recognized the swordsmanship of these two women. Fengyimen had been in the south of the Yangtze River for several years, and Ding Ming had also seen their swordsmanship. However, in today's battle, Ding Ming really saw the power of Fengyimen. The two women's double swords combined, the sword stance was like a dragon and a sword, vertical and horizontal, beautiful and ruthless, if not Ding Ming is also a master of swordsmanship, it is really hard to match.

After two quarters of the battle, Ding Ming realized that his side had suffered heavy casualties. If it weren't for the battle formation honed on the Wuyue battlefield, it would be really difficult to win against these giants and eagles, and now that the enemy reinforcements have not arrived, as soon as they come It was the remoteness of Qiao's Garden, and secondly, there were many people in the Imperial Army who respected Lu Can. They were secretly persuaded and discouraged by the manpower arranged by Ding Ming and deliberately delayed. Just when he was anxious, a man in white came out of the garden slowly, but he didn't see how he moved, so he floated behind the woman in Chinese clothes and slapped it. The woman felt that her palm was like a sharp blade, and tried her best to dodge. Although she avoided this palm, she could no longer join forces with her companions. The woman in Tsing Yi was originally dedicated to joining forces with her companions, but this time it showed a great deal of strength. flaw. Ding Ming snorted softly, the sword was like a rainbow, and the blood splashed. The woman in Tsing Yi shook her delicate body, and the blood instantly penetrated into the clothes and fell to the ground.

Without any hesitation, Ding Ming united his body and sword, and then flew towards the woman in Chinese attire. When the woman in Chinese attire saw her companion, she exclaimed and turned to flee. When he returned, he actually stabbed into the woman's vest. The woman in Chinese clothes cried out in pain, and with a backhand sword, like lightning It looked like it was about to pierce his heart, but it stopped abruptly, and a long black whip wrapped around the blade. Ding Ming breathed a sigh of relief and followed the long whip, only to see that it was the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master who came to the rescue. At this time, the delicate body of the woman in Chinese attire slowly fell to the ground. Ding Ming felt a chill in his heart and thought, just looking at this dying sword, this woman's swordsmanship is actually not much weaker than her own. If she was willing to summon the courage to fight against her, she would never be defeated so quickly. Fengyimen The female swordsman really lived up to her reputation.

Ding Ming was thinking wildly in his heart, and the sound of a violin like cracked silk came from his ears. He was shocked, but he saw the man in white pointing at the garden. Although he couldn't see his expression, he clearly showed a look of hesitation. Ding Ming couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. , and he didn't care that there was still a fight outside, and followed the man in white to the park. Before coming, Ding Ming needed to persuade Lu Can to agree to leave Jianye with them, but he was blocked outside for a long time. Ding Ming almost forgot about it, he hurriedly pulled out his long sword and turned towards the garden. After walking, the man in white flashed his eyes, seeing that there was still a stalemate outside, and then walked into the park.

When Ding Ming followed the man in white into the garden, the female swordsmen from Fengyi Gate had already seen the two leaders fall to the ground. The woman in Chinese clothes was already cold and breathless, but the woman in Tsing Yi just fell into a coma. After the two hurriedly wrapped her wounds and took medicine, the woman in Tsing Yi finally woke up slowly, and her eyes stopped on the woman in Chinese clothes. For a moment, his eyes were full of sorrow and despair. A woman in a strong suit whispered: "Seven girls, or let's go back quickly." The words were full of fear. The woman in Tsing Yi shook her head and said, "We have no way to turn back, first carry the corpse of the second sister to the side, you all go, don't let an intruder, cast the signal on the second sister's body for help, and summon the disciples in the city to come. Help." The female swordsman burst into tears when she heard the words, walked back to the woman in Chinese dress, took out a small ball wrapped in mulberry paper from her, and threw it into the air with shaking wrists. Splitting up, a flame shot up into the sky, turning into a colorful phoenix in mid-air, and it even made a sound like a phoenix ming, which shocked the cold night. The woman in Tsing Yi closed her eyes slightly, tears rolled down her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Second sister, third sister, you all went like this, why do I have to live so hard." Slowly dissipating, the tears have turned into two lines of frost, condensing on the cheeks like beautiful jade.

Lu Can stood in the snow. Although there was already a lot of snow on his body, he didn't mean to wipe it. Song Yu stood behind him, seemingly protecting and watching. Hearing the sound of fighting in his ears, Lu Can Feeling at a loss, knowing that it was impossible for him to stop the bloody battle in front of him, Lu Can quietly waited for the moment to end, and for the arrival of the edict of death. unfolded smoothly.

After a while, I saw two people walking on the snow. One of them came closer and bowed down: "Ding Ming called on the General, please follow us out of the city, there will be soldiers outside the city, and the carriage and horses are ready. , there are guards along the way, and you can go straight to the army."

Lu Can's gaze only swept across Ding Ming, but he looked at the man in white clothes and covered with white veils, and even his eyes were covered with veils, and said lightly, "Who is Your Excellency, and why are you participating in this? It's a matter." Although Fei Xue blocked his eyes, Lu Can also knew that if this person hadn't killed Euroning, Ding Ming and others would never have been able to break into the garden, so Fang asked the white clothed man's purpose.

Ding Ming was startled, worried that the man in white was angry, but the man in white just said lightly: "Brother Ding and I have an old relationship, and we are begging for each other, so I will rescue, otherwise the general, even if he has contributed to the society and the people, will be with us. What does it have to do with the people of the rivers and lakes."

Hearing this, Lu Can felt relieved, and said, if he didn't mean to save me, he wouldn't worry about his conspiracy. Turning to look at Ding Ming, he sighed: "Ding Daxia why bother so much, Lu Mou's life or death is irrelevant, but you are the leader of Wu Yue's army, if something goes wrong, wouldn't Dinghai take advantage of it, you should hurry back to Wu Yue Well, don't get involved in these important court affairs."

Ding Ming said loudly: "The general's words are bad, Ding is just a Jianghu man, if I die, someone else can lead the rebel army, but if there is no general commander, how can I defend against the Yong Army's iron cavalry? How can you just sit back and watch the Yong army go south and be willing to be killed by that traitor."

Lu Can smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Ding, you are kind, but it doesn't matter whether Lu Mou's life or death, even if I can escape Jianye, I will become a rebellious one. At that time, Shangxiang will definitely order to clean up my old department. Now, brother Ding, do you want me to lead the army to rebel? Instead of causing civil strife and killing each other, it is better for Lu Mou to obey the law and die. With all the righteous people who sacrificed their lives for the country, Nan Chu can still be safe and sound. People who are better than Lu can go north to the Central Plains, so that the Yong army can't go south from now on."

Ding Ming burst into tears when he heard it, and said: "The general is for the country and the people, saddled with horses, and forgot to die. Today, he still thinks about the people of the society. What the traitor did is really outrageous. If the general leaves Jianye, Avoid joining the army, and then write to ask for forgiveness, or you can avoid civil strife, if the general does not leave, we would rather die here than leave like this."

Lu Can smiled slightly and said, "The life and death of a certain Lu is a small matter, and the security of the country is a big problem. Shang Xiang must have installed assassin confidants in Lu's old department. Once Lu escapes, I am afraid that they will all be killed, and The families of the soldiers and soldiers are all in the south of the river. Once they suspect that they are rebelling, they will end up in ruins. How could it be Lu, who killed these soldiers under his command. Brother Ding, don't say more, go ahead, Lu Certainly will never escape from Jianye.”

At this time, the man in white said coldly, "Why do you talk nonsense like this, just knock him out and take him away." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a cold light from Lu Can's deep eyes. , that is a kind of general arrogance that can rival thousands of people in the bloody battle on the battlefield, but his expression is so indifferent, and he stands with his hands on his back, Lu Can coldly said: "Your Excellency really think that by virtue of martial arts high strength Can you do whatever you want?"

The man in white shuddered, his eyes stared through the veil, and he focused on Lu Can's face for a moment. Seeing that his brows were more like jade pieces than tiles, he sighed softly and said, "The general does not want to make The civil strife in Nanchu is just a dream. In any case, this civil strife is inevitable. The general only needs to promise, and I will definitely be able to leave Jianye with the general. At that time, whether I return to the army to fight, or go far Escape the rivers and lakes, I can fulfill the wishes of the general. Don't the general think about his family? Under the nest, there will be no eggs. Even if the general is willing to die, Shang Weijun will never let him go. The general's family."

Lu Can's eyes were not weak in the slightest. Although the words of the man in white were sharp, they did not leave an imprint on the lake in his heart. He had already thought about it clearly ten years ago. He didn't argue, he just showed a firm and indifferent smile, and then raised his hand, the second finger in the food pierced his chest like a sharp blade, and blood gushed out. He meant it clearly.

Not to be surprised by Lu Can's fingering, Ding Ming stood up almost immediately and stepped back. After more than ten steps back, his eyes were full of grief, and he said in a trembling voice, "General, Ding Ming will obey."

Lu Can looked at the man in white with indifferent eyes, the eyes of the man in white flickered, Lu Can smiled slightly, and pressed his fingers hard, blood gushing out, the man in white could feel Ding Ming's pleading gaze, and he also knew that if he shot immediately, or he could Stop Lu Can from committing suicide, but Lu Can has made up his mind. Even if he is rescued, the result will not be different. Moreover, if he is allowed to die outside in the name of rebellion, it is better to let him die here, which is considered a complete of his loyalty. What's more, that person had already said that he wanted to leave Lu Can a choice. With a slight sigh, the figure of the man in white was hidden in the snow, as if he had disappeared without a trace.

Lu Can felt relieved, knowing that the situation was finally under his control, looking at Ding Ming, he said lightly: "Brother Ding, let's go, don't add more casualties, don't kill each other, just make Yongren happy, and more Pay attention to the people around you, Yong Ren is the best at using the room, so you have to be careful." Although he also wanted to warn Ding Ming to be careful of Song Yu and the man in white behind him, but he also knew that if he said it too clearly , I am afraid that Ding Ming will not be able to give birth to Jianye. Instead, it is better to let him be vigilant, so as not to lose the leader of Wu Yue Yijun.

Watching Ding Ming hide his face and retreat, a string of piano sounds suddenly came from the flying snow. The piano sound was mournful and vaguely meant to say goodbye. A strange thought suddenly appeared in Lu Can's heart. The melody, but the arrogance and coldness hidden deep in the qin is the same, but when I think of this, I can't help laughing. Pulling out his fingers, letting the blood drip and brushing off the snow on his body, Lu Can walked into the room, poured a glass of wine, and raised his glass: "The king's affairs in the world have won the name of his life and his life. It's a pity that it happened in vain. It's a pity that I If you haven't fulfilled your wish, your name will be torn apart. Song Yu, why don't you go together? Do you think I didn't see through your disguise? If it wasn't for you to be their inner responder, I'm afraid that the man in white or Ding Ming would kill you first ."

Song Yu said indifferently: "Why did the general say this? Song was ordered to guard the general and prevent the general from leaving this place. Later, the general interceded, so that those people did not kill me. The general gave his life and wanted to come. It's also because of Gu Nianzai's due diligence, so there are many blessings, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Can burst into laughter, and regardless of the blood flowing, he raised his glass and said, "Well said, it's rare for you to be so talented and intelligent, tell me, what is the relationship between you and my teacher Jiang Zhe? I think only Mr. Doing such a thing, taking advantage of Lu's life and death so thoroughly, you are such a talented person, I am afraid that you are also a disciple of Mr.

Song Yu's expression changed slightly, looking at Lu Can's candid expression, and said in a low voice, "I am a disrespectful disciple of Mr., and I have already betrayed the door. Thanks to Mr.'s kindness, I have never taken my life. This time, I was ordered to slander and harm the general. I feel ashamed, even if the general told the matter, I don't blame the general."

Lu Can frowned slightly, and said, "I hear your tone of voice seems resentful. Could it be that you hold grudges against Mr., but if so, why did you act on his orders?"

Song Yu swept his eyes out, he had seen the call for help from Fengyi's door just now, and knowing that someone would come in to check soon, he whispered, "My husband and I have old grudges, but I don't know, but carefully I want to come, but I can't blame Mr., because of the kindness of Mr. and colleagues, so I can't refuse Mr.'s order, but it hurts the general. I feel very uneasy. Saddened."

Lu Can sighed: "It's none of your business, Mr. is just adding fuel to the fire, even if there is no plan for him, in a few years, this catastrophe will not be avoided, but I originally thought that I could fulfill my long-cherished wish to go north to the Central Plains first. Yong Jun's iron cavalry can't watch Jiangnan, I just hate that this day has come too early. I only understand now that on that day, above Gucheng, the gentleman played the qin, not to repel the enemy, but to say goodbye. After one song, no more See you again, that's what Mr.

At this time, a footstep sounded in Song Yu's ears, and he quickly coughed and said, "General, do you want to wrap your wounds?"

Lu Can turned his eyes and said, "Are you going to stay in Jianye in the future?"

Song Yu understood in his heart and said in a low voice, "This matter is over, I have nothing to worry about, and will never be involved in the north-south dispute again."

Lu Can smiled slightly, nodded and said: "That's good, I believe you are not lying, otherwise, even if you are so sincere and sincere to me, I can only take your life, if I want to say a few words, Shang Weijun would rather believe what he has, and if I see you again, please say thank you for me."

Song Yu said in a low voice, "Thank you for your generosity, General. If you have the chance, I will definitely tell you." Just as he was about to say something, he saw a figure flashing out of the corner of his eyes, and he silently stopped talking.

At this time, the reinforcements had already entered the garden, but Shang Chengye was at the forefront. Behind him were all sergeants in armor. He must have brought reinforcements to Qiao's abandoned garden in person. After all, Lu Can's life and death, and their The father-son relationship is the closest. Behind Shang Chengye, there were a few crimson-clothed waiters, holding imperial edict wine, but they met on the road and rushed over together. Seeing Lu Can sitting there drinking, Shang Chengye breathed a sigh of relief, stopped, glanced at Song Yu, his eyes showed admiration, and motioned him to quit.

Song Yu hid the sadness in his eyes, walked out of the room, and stood behind Shang Chengye, only to see the red-clothed waiter screeching out the decree. words. Then through the open door, he watched Lu Can pour a glass of poison wine with a smile, looked around the crowd with clear and gentle eyes, and stayed on himself for a while, and then raised the glass and drank, regardless of the blood on his chest. . Song Yu's eyes were blurred, and he quietly took a step back, feeling as if his life had also passed away with Lu Can's suicide.
