rise up and play

I got up and went to the window, looked at the sky, it was dark, and there was no starlight, it seemed that it was not a good day for traveling.

Looking back at him, a small smile overflowed from the corner of my eyes.

He drank another full cup of tea, stood in front of me, and said:

"Come on, give me a good time!"

Following his wishes, I grabbed his neck and slowly tightened it. I could feel the person in my hand trembling strongly.

I stepped behind him, approached him and said:

"You don't want to die, do you?"

He didn't answer, I let go of my hand, and an idea came to my mind.

"I can be your entourage and go to the south with you to protect your life without any worries. The condition is that when you return to the court in the future, you will find an official position for me and make me the seat of the Lin family. How about it?"

He smiled wryly and said:

"Although I am the second youngest of the Lin family, I was born in a side room, and my status in the Lin family is very small. Otherwise, the old man would not let me go in danger. But if I return, I must have my own mansion. This is the premise , it’s okay to promise you.”

"It's okay. In addition, you have to promise to listen to me all the way forward."

"Uh... no, I won't do anything that violates moral principles."

I squinted at him and said impatiently:

"Hmph, it's up to you."

What a ignorant fellow.I don't want to bother with him anymore.If it is not suitable to travel today, then tomorrow.Thinking about it, I lay down on the bed, ready to fall asleep.

Still in a daze, half asleep and half awake.

In the dream, I went back to when I was a child, when Master tested medicine on me every day, and I struggled back from the edge of life and death many times.I dreamed that I drank the glass of poisoned wine with a smile, and watched Xiaodie take the fire dragon pendant from me from my body. She cried and said sorry.In the end, he dreamed that he had killed his master, standing on the corpses of all the people in Luoyun Villa, laughing endlessly.

. . .

It was dawn when I woke up, and the quiet atmosphere of Duyuan made me feel in a trance for a while.

"Are you awake?"

Raising his eyes suddenly, he saw Lin Wenyang standing beside the bed with a tired face.

I frowned, he was really not afraid of death.

"That... I thought about it all night, and I listened to you, hehe, I don't want to die yet."

I sat up a little irritatedly, and he quickly poured a cup of tea and brought it over. The tea was warm and just right.

Warm water into the abdomen, I feel better.

"Listen to me everything?"

"Well, everything is up to you."

"Okay, take off your clothes."

"Ok!"

He quickly took off his coat and looked at me.

"All off!"

"what?"

"Don't you want to listen to me?"

"This... this... I... I..."

"You can do it yourself."

He was awkward for a long time, muttering and asking me:

"Can I keep some obscene pants?"

I raised my eyebrows and hummed.

After he took off, I stuffed him with the burden, picked up the clothes on the ground and said:

"Go, go to your house."

"You let me go out like this?"

"go?"

"Oh."

Leading him out from the main entrance of the brothel, he covered his face with a bundle, and the guests who came and went came to him to look at him, and the crowd was tight.

I waited at the door for a long time but didn't see him come out, so I went in to have a look and smiled.

He was huddled by a door, pressing his head with a bundle, and had nowhere to go, like a frightened little mouse.

I forcibly pulled the burden leader up, carried him on my shoulder, and stepped out of the brothel.

When he came to an alley, he threw the clothes to him, and the little mouse was so wronged that he was about to cry.

I was leaning against the wall to see him, and I couldn't be more wrong, this man must bring me a lot of fun.

He put on his clothes, straightened his long hair, and said:

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Ok?"

"That... I don't know your name yet!"

name? . . .I seem to have forgotten, but I only remember the title and name of the Hundred Faces Poison King. . .

Not far away, there was a hawker selling cosmetics at just the right time.

"Just call me Rouge."

"rouge?"

I raised my chin and pointed to the vendor.

He whispered:

"It's not a woman..."

I said with a smile:

"Then call it whatever you want."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, there is another problem, your face..."

I touched it, and this time the mask is better, there is no knife wound, but the color is very weird.

"I applied the medicine."

"Oh, okay, let's go, let's go back and get ready, and we'll be leaving in three days."

. . .

The carriage was very small, and the journey was very bumpy. I looked at the white hair that turned from blue silk, and the tight mask on my face, and I was a little sullen.

I remembered that before leaving, Lin Wenyang said that there is no carriage for marching and fighting. At my persistent request, he said he would try his best to find a way.

So the next day, when Lin Wenyang reported to General Meng, he said that there was an old slave at home, who would die soon, and before he died, he wanted to take another look at the battlefield and recall the gold and iron horses back then.General Meng respected the loyal veteran, so he agreed to go with him in a sedan chair.

General Meng was covered with sword wounds and his face was resolute. He was a tough guy, but he was also this kind of guy. He was too stubborn and kept his word. It seemed that if there was a war, Lin Wenyang would not be able to escape.

I admire Lieutenant General You more. Not only does he have an appearance comparable to Lin Wenyang, but his words and deeds are even more intelligent and decent.

Thinking of the approaching winter and the need to go to such a remote and impoverished area, I realized that the cost of this play was a bit high.

The carriage stopped suddenly, there was a noise in front of it, and then someone said to take a break.

Confused, Lin Wenyang rode his horse to the sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and said with a silly smile:

"I just met some refugees from the mountains. They escaped because of the plague. Fortunately, they met us. General Meng took pity on them and gave them some food. Now the doctor is helping them see a doctor."

He handed me a pot of water and a piece of pancake, and hurried out again.

"I have to help, you eat first."

I grabbed him and asked:

"Do you have any children?"

"No, it is said that the child was too young to withstand the disease and died. It's really pitiful."

"I'll go to help too, I'm the one with the most free time in the whole team."

"Oh, good!"

Walking to the front of the army, I saw a group of ashen-faced people. Although they looked embarrassed, their clothes were in good condition, with patches but no holes.

Some soldiers next to them divided the food and water and were about to give them to them.

I went over and sprinkled the drug in each bowl of water.

Seeing the busy and cheerful figure in front of me, I shook my head. It was really a fight, he must be the first to die.

When he came to get food and water, I pulled him aside and asked:

"Do you want to make meritorious service?"

"what?"

"Do you want to show off in front of General Meng?"

"Yes I do."

"Then let me tell you, those people are not refugees in the mountains at all. I don't know their identities. After a while they faint, you slit the clothes of one of them. There must be gunpowder inside, and then you tell General Meng , you discovered it, hurry up, don't let others take the credit, you know?"

Lin Wenyang was a little dazed after hearing this, and looked back at the refugees, one of them smiled at him, and he smiled back.

I slapped him on the head and went straight back to my carriage.

Dead wood cannot be carved!

After a while, there was another noise in front of me, I didn't bother to pay attention to it, and continued to read the art of war in my hand.
