[Wei Nie] Vertical and horizontal killing

Running around and fighting makes the temporary peace seem precious.

Wei Zhuang looked at the burning bonfire, he was very silent.

Gai Nie said: "We have given Longqi the key to unraveling the chaos. Perhaps, the crisis of the peasant family can be solved soon."

Wei Zhuang is not optimistic about the deeper nature of human beings: "Do you remember Xuanhu's mechanism?"

Ge Nie was taken aback.

"Sometimes, once the mechanism is opened, the greedy beasts can no longer be controlled by people." He glanced at Gai Nie: "They will only kill and devour each other until the last one dies. The one who survives is the next one." leader."

Gai Nie looked at the fire and said, "Mount Tai is to mounds of earth, rivers and seas are to puddles of water. They are all from the same sect, but you must die."

Wei Zhuang looked at Gai Nie: "Speaking of your pain?"

Gai Nie looked at Wei Zhuang, but didn't speak immediately.

Wei Zhuang's gaze met his. With such a calm gaze, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to provoke the good old senior brother: "Senior brother, although they are of the same kind, fools and virtuous ones are different. The things you care about are meaningless."

Gai Nie did not refute, he pondered: "Gao Jianli and Lie Shantang's party led by Tie may not go well."

Wei Zhuang sneered: "It's a meaningless move. Lie Shantang Tianhu is brave and foolhardy. If the Mohists cooperate, they may not be able to escape."

Gai Nie's heart moved: "Tian Hu is indeed a fierce tiger in the mountains, but the Zhu family and Tian Hu are not the only ones in the farm."

Wei Zhuang became a little interested: "Oh? It seems that you have noticed it too?"

Gai Nie looked at him, "You and the Zhu family are old friends, have you ever paid attention to the person beside him?"

That day they asked the Zhu family about the Shennong Order in Shennongtang. Several disciples of Shennongtang showed up before and after, but he immediately knew who Gai Nie was referring to.

"You mean, the person who led us in was Liu Ji."

"Exactly." Ge Nie nodded and frowned, with a thoughtful expression: "Looking at his appearance, he has a long nose, a straight beard, and a neat beard. Such a face, throughout the ages, has never been an ordinary person."

Wei Zhuang snorted a few times: "He also has a long-sleeved and good dancer who is keen on buying people's hearts."

Gai Nie stared blankly at the afterglow of stars exposed by the damaged eaves for a while, then slowly said: "The secrets of Canglong Qisu have been kept by the Mo family and the descendants of the peasant family for generations. The appearance of this person may not be accidental."

Wei Zhuang frowned, he lowered his head, and his eyes became more unpredictable: "People from all walks of life gathered in Dongjun, which in itself was deliberately induced by someone."

Gaine lowered his head.

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly: "I already knew it was a trap, are you afraid now?"

Gai Nie glanced at the wooden sword beside him: "Xiaozhuang, I'm worried about Tianming."

Wei Zhuang sneered and said: "Since you can read faces, you should know that this kid's life is very hard. I'm afraid he will live well after you die."

Wei Zhuang didn't know the secret of the Yin-Yang curse seal on Tianming's body, he just said this inadvertently, but in Ge Nie's ear, he moved slightly: "Perhaps, you are right."

Wei Zhuang heard something unusual from this sentence, he frowned, and was about to explore the meaning of Ge Nie's words, but was distracted by Ge Nie's words again.

"Xiaozhuang, if Dongjun's trip to death is deliberately induced, then Xiaoshengxianzhuang may not be completely safe."

Wei Zhuang smiled: "So what?"

"I remember that you and the third head of Xiaoshengxianzhuang are close friends."

Wei Zhuang didn't care about this: "He worshiped Confucius and Mencius as his teacher back then, but it was just another way of escaping. You are all the same, too obsessed with the ideal country. Disputes among nations, where can people really escape? ?”

Gai Nie felt sorry for him, he knew that there would be no result with his junior on this topic.

The night is changing, the stars are moving, and the stars are changing positions in the night sky.

Ge Nie added enough firewood to the fire.

With the skills of the two of them, they are not afraid of the severe cold, but the fire can drive away the beasts and avoid unnecessary troubles.

Wei Zhuang silently watched Gai Nie arranging simple traps on the broken wall, and then saw him walking towards him step by step, until he got behind him, and then he put down the back of his sword and sat on the ground leaning against him.

Wei Zhuang didn't move or speak.

But he felt that Gai Nie put down the sword, and the wooden sword was placed within reach of his hand; and his back was leaning against his back like this.

Through the pitch-black cloak, Wei Zhuang could feel Gai Nie's every move. He must have closed his eyes and began to meditate at this moment.

Wei Zhuang didn't want to close his eyes, he looked at the dark night sky, and remembered the three years in Guigu, the years of going out for trials together.

They are destined opponents.

They have to be wary of each other, but trust each other more than anyone else.

In the early morning dew, Wei Zhuang opened his eyes.

From the eaves came the wailing of birds, birds caught in a trap set up by Ge Nie.The bird caught in the net with blue feathers and red legs is exactly the butterfly wings of the white phoenix.

Ge Nie stood up, walked towards the low wall, untied the entangled bird's leg with his fingers, and handed it to Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang took off the bamboo tube from the bird's leg, unfolded the bamboo core paper inside, and looked at it, his brows were lowered, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

Gai Nie waited for him to finish reading before asking, "But has Songhai changed?"

Wei Zhuang clenched his hands tightly, and the bamboo core turned into ashes: "Ying Zheng began to search for warlocks around Xianyang, and those who hid were killed in pits."

Gai Nie lowered his head, thinking for a while.It's not that he is suspicious, he has stayed with the King of Qin for several years, and he has a little understanding of the emperor's habits.

Wei Zhuang squinted at Ge Nie's expression: "What do you think?"

Gai Nie said: "On the surface, Yingzheng hunted down warlocks, but it is very likely that he is trying to cover up other targets."

The corners of Wei Zhuang's mouth curled up, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "It seems that you really understand Ying Zheng. Zhang Liang's second piece of news is that Li Si has informed Xiaoshengxianzhuang's branch in other countries. The academy started. Under the banner of promoting "books with the same text", privately searched for the works of the six countries other than Qin."

Gai Nie: "As early as a few years ago, Ying Zheng ordered someone to compile and organize "Qin Ji"."

Wei Zhuang sneered: "This is just the method used by the king of Zhou to deal with Yin and Shang, and he also intends to use it. It is also useful to fool the remaining people of the six countries." After saying this, Wei Zhuang let go of his hand, and the butterfly-winged bird was in his palm Cengceng, spread your wings and fly away.

Gai Nie watched the blue bird fly away with him.

Wei Zhuang: "What are your plans?"

Gai Nie didn't speak immediately, he watched the bird that escaped from the snare fly farther and farther, and finally said: "Mr. Xiaoyao has been staying in Dongjun to collect information, I should meet him for a while now."

The more messy it is, the more it needs to be unraveled.

Wei Zhuang recalled the trials in Bailu Town back then. Although a small town cannot be compared with the world, the feeling of cooperation between him and Gai Nie came back.

Gai Nie obviously thought of the same thing, he said: "Since I have come to Dongjun, I naturally want to see where the Stone of Enlightenment falls."

Finding a proposal is very suitable for Wei Zhuang. Compared with the crisis of the farm family, he is obviously more interested in the empire's fear of the Yinghuo Stone.

What Gai Nie cares about is different from Wei Zhuang, he is worried about the fate of the people there.

The landing village of the Fluorescent Stone has been surrounded layer by layer by the imperial army, and there are no living people. Naturally, there is nothing more to explore there.But Wei Zhuang knew that there was someone who could tell them the news about Sanliudong County.

Just as Long Qi left, Zhong Li Mo's face was still embarrassed.He was upright and selfless all his life. Even if he knew that the Chu army and the Mo family had helped him, it would be difficult for him to convince himself to defect to the empire.

Seeing his pale face, a young girl worriedly put a coat on him.

At this time, Xiaoyaozi walked in from the cave, followed by two people.

The girl has gotten used to people coming and going these few days, she raised her head and recognized these two people who tied up General Qin who framed General Zhong for interrogation a few days ago.Needless to say, he has already lifted Zhong Limei and closed his lapel for him.

Zhongli Mo was a little embarrassed, he waved his hand to signal that there was no need to do this, and then reluctantly handed over to the two of Zongheng: "The two from Guigu."

Wei Zhuang ignored him, Gai Nie saluted Zhong Limo: "General Zhong, Xiao Zhuang and I came here this time to inquire about the details of the Yinghuo Stone in Sanliu East County."

Zhong Limo listened, and said with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, at first Zhong was only ordered to verify household registration in Dongjun County to check suspicious persons, etc. Later, he was assigned by Baitu to escort the meteorite from the sky. I'm afraid it's better to know the rest. There are more people here." But he paused, and suddenly said: "But this girl is from Sanliudong County, maybe she is the person you are looking for."

Wei Zhuang glanced at the woman, but still didn't bother to speak.

Gai Nie stepped forward to salute: "This girl?"

The woman looked timid, but she still dared to return the salute to the two of them: "Meng Jiang, a folk girl, the people in the mountains have no money to buy lamp oil, so they will rest when it gets dark. She had already slept that night, the gatekeeper in the yard The dog kept barking, but suddenly it was daylight, and everyone rushed out to have a look. We were far away, and didn’t take a closer look, only to hear that a black boulder fell from the sky into the field, and the surrounding houses were turned into scorched earth. The next day I heard a rumor that after the flame on the stone was extinguished, words appeared."

Xiaoyaozi: "What word?"

Meng Jiang said timidly: "I don't know how to read, but I heard that there are six characters engraved with the words 'The First Emperor dies and dies'."

Xiaoyaozi and Gai Nie looked at each other.

Zhongli Mo who was at the side suddenly coughed while covering his wound, Meng Jiang quickly went to help him and relieve him.

Gai Nie asked, "Do you know which language it is written in?"

Meng Jiang turned his head, with a distressed expression on his face: "There are not many people in the village who can read and write. The people in the academy were taken away from the academy by the county captain that night, and no one saw them again when they fled."

Wei Zhuang became a little interested, he looked at Zhong Limei: "No one has seen it again?"

Zhongli Mo was silent for a while, such a simple sentence, even if no one answered, was more unbearable than all the words of Long Qi who had just left.

He is a soldier of the empire; but the empire is not a paradise for the people.

Xiaoyaozi looked at Gai Nie, who nodded slightly at him.

The three of them turned around and left the cave, standing in an open space with no one around.

Wei Zhuang said: "There are many people who want Ying Zheng to die. No matter who does this, he must be the one who can get close to Ying Huo's landing place in the fastest time."

Xiaoyaozi's face was gloomy: "Those villagers who were not rescued by the Mo family, I'm afraid there will be more disasters than good luck."

There was a moment of silence, before the three of them could speak, they saw a sloppy-clothed swordsman with beard and hair covering his eyes, walking towards them.

The author has something to say: Uncle took the initiative

Second Uncle: You tell me this is called initiative?Shall I tell you what initiative is? !

The last one is Han Xin. Those who have watched the latest episode will know, so I won’t talk much about their dialogue.Uncle Zhuanghe seldom talks about the question, whoever summed it up well.

In the salted chicken animation, it seems that the words engraved on Yinghuo are "Hu who died of the Qin Dynasty", but I checked various historical materials, it should be "the first emperor died and the land was divided", and "Hu who died of the Qin Dynasty" is another prophecy. Just take a look, don't delve too deeply into it.Anyway, it must have been engraved by humans, so no one would think it was a prophecy from heaven.

Finally, regarding Meng Jiangnu, I checked the information (actually Du Niang):

The legend of Meng Jiangnu has been widely spread among the people in the form of oral inheritance.It was not until the beginning of the 20th century, driven by the spirit of the "May Fourth Movement", that she was brought into the field of vision of researchers.Gu Jiegang, a famous Chinese historian, traced the original form of the legend of Meng Jiangnu to a story in "Zuo Zhuan". "Zuo Zhuan" records this story to praise Qi Liang's wife (that is, Meng Jiangnv of later generations) when she is mourning, she can still deal with things with courtesy and keep her mind calm, which is admirable.

In "Zuo Zhuan", Qi Liang's wife, who did not cry, was infected with the atmosphere of the music industry at the time of the Warring States Period, and a story of mourning was added.This is a very important change, and the variation of the story about Qi Liang's wife in later generations was born along this "sorrow of crying".

The first person to describe the collapse of the city was Liu Xiang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty.In "Biography of Lie Nv", he first recounted the story of Qiliang's wife in "Zuo Zhuan", and then he continued to write: Qiliang's wife had no children, and her natal husband's family had no relatives. After her husband died, she became a lonely family.Qi Liang's wife "crying over her husband's corpse in the city", the cry was very sad, and all passers-by were moved.Ten days later, "the city collapsed."The relevant records of the Tang Dynasty greatly changed the story of Qi Liang's wife.Qiliang changed from Qi people in the Spring and Autumn Period to Yan people in the Qin Dynasty; the name of Qiliang’s wife appeared, her surname was Meng’s name Zhongzi, or Meng’s name was Jiangnu; After being captured, the slave was built inside the city wall, so his wife wanted to cry to the city; and there were so many dead bodies built inside the city wall that only blood and bones could identify them.The story of Qi Liang's wife has been processed in the Six Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, linking Bengcheng and Qin Shihuang together, which is not a small creation.

So Meng Jiang is purely fabricated, just hey everyone
