Jun You Ji Fou

The sun was setting and the moon was rising, and it was time for the dinner party. Officials from various counties arrived one after another. Cars and horses crowded the street outside the gate, and the courtyard was brightly lit.

Looking around the court, most of the people had already arrived, Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu sat down at the main seats, and then a person came forward with a flagon, "Master Chu, Lord Su, I'm polite."

The person who came was the sheriff of Hengshan County in Huainan, Su Shiyu recognized him, and smiled back, "Master Shen, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see." Mr. Shen smiled and poured him a full glass with the jug in his hand, "It's a rare meeting, the banquet hasn't started yet, I'll toast you first!"

Hearing this, Chu Mingyun couldn't help but take another look at him.Now that they knew something was wrong with Han Zhongwen, they naturally wouldn't touch the food at the banquet, but they didn't expect that Liang Jin had just put medicine in the wine, and now there was another toast.Sure enough, Su Shiyu smiled, and declined politely: "It's really rare to see each other, but the gathering tonight is for important matters, and I still don't drink."

"Just one glass is nothing." Mr. Shen handed over the wine glass, "Look, I've poured it all for you, so it doesn't matter if you have a drink."

"Master Shen, you don't have to be so polite. You can drink this glass of wine as well. Just treat it as my respect." Su Shiyu spoke softly.

He raised his glass in embarrassment, "Master Su really doesn't want to drink it, or is it because I have a low official position and you don't want to drink the wine I poured?"

"how come……"

"You don't need to waste your efforts to persuade him, he probably doesn't want to touch alcohol for a month." Chu Mingyun suddenly said, his smiling eyes swept lightly over the waist of the person beside him.

Su Shiyu looked away solemnly.Fortunately, Lord Shen didn't study the meaning of Chu Mingyun's words carefully, and turned to him and said, "Then, Lord Chu, are you willing to give me the honor of being an official?"

Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, and instead of answering, asked, "You will leave after I drink this glass of wine?"

Mr. Shen smiled sarcastically, and handed over the wine glass, "A glass of thin wine, let's show our respect."

Before Su Shiyu could make a sound to stop him, Chu Mingyun took the wine and drank it down in one gulp, then threw the jade cup back to him, and gave him an impatient look.Mr. Shen politely said politely, hurriedly walked away with the jug, and went to pay respects to Yuzhang and Lushan Sheriff one by one.

Su Shiyu was surprised for a moment, and then took out a small white jade bottle from his sleeve, poured out a few pills in his palm, "This is the antidote to all kinds of poisons that Ayue gave me, most of the poisons can be removed, you take it first I'll take your pulse again."

Chu Mingyun didn't make a sound, pressed Su Shiyu's hand, and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Su Shiyu looked at him.

Chu Mingyun turned sideways, turned his head back, and opened his mouth to spit out the wine.

Su Shiyu: "..."

Chu Mingyun turned his face back, and raised his hand to wipe the corner of his lips, "What are you doing looking at me like this, can't help but want to kiss me?"

"……What do you think?"

The people who were speaking had already arrived, and everyone sat down, and the court gradually fell silent.Han Zhongwen slowly glanced around for a week, stood up from his seat, and said, "I believe that my colleagues here are all aware of what happened in Huainan, and also understand the purpose of Lord Taiwei and Lord Yushi. Tonight, Mr. Han will thank the entire Huainan Thank you two adults, and thank you all for coming from afar.”

There was a sound of thanks and answers during the banquet.

Han Zhongwen looked at the main seat, "Do you two adults have anything to say?"

Chu Mingyun looked at Su Shiyu, Su Shiyu smiled lightly, and did not refuse, "I will not repeat what is already clear. Since all the adults are here, I will take this opportunity to ask a question." He raised his eyes and looked at the seat Liang Jin, who was on the side, kept his gentle tone, "A few days ago, Master Liang informed me about the news of the reinforcement general Luo Xin. Unfortunately, some changes happened later and we couldn't talk about it in detail. I wonder if Master Liang can tell me the news now?"

Everyone looked at Liang Jin in unison. Liang Jin took a sip of wine without changing his face, but avoided Su Shiyu's sight and didn't speak.

"Master Liang?" Chu Mingyun urged.

Liang Jin put the cup on the table, before he could speak, a scream rang out first.

They followed the sound, and the maid covered her mouth in horror and stared at the sheriff of Yuzhang County. The sheriff's face was blue and purple. He was stunned and suddenly spit out another mouthful of blood, and then his head fell heavily on the table. Up, don't move.Before they had time to react, several screams rang out one after another, and five or six people fell straight, their eyes bulging, and their death patterns were exactly the same.

Su Shiyu could see and remember clearly that these people were the ones who had just been toasted.Chu Mingyun turned his head and looked over, Master Shen couldn't help but tremble when he met him, and hurriedly hid beside Han Zhongwen.Han Zhongwen was still sitting in his original position, but he didn't know when the government soldiers surrounded him, with their hands on the waist knife, ready to go.

The incident happened suddenly, and the attendants who came with them from Chang'an were originally guarding the periphery. After regaining their senses, they immediately rushed up to block Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu, also holding the handle of the knife, and were vigilant.

The scene suddenly stalemate, condensed to the extreme.

The sky was not good that day, the night was as dark as ink, the stars and the moon were all hidden behind the heavy clouds, only the hanging lamps were flickering and flickering, illuminating the courtyard brightly.

Chu Mingyun smiled softly, which sounded very clear at the moment, "It seems that there is no need to answer the question." He glanced calmly, "No wonder we haven't attacked us all this time, so we were waiting for today. So The rest of these people who are not dead are all yours?"

"Except for the two adults, all are." Han Zhongwen looked at him, "Master Chu is really powerful, and fortunately, I am not so naive as to think that a glass of poisoned wine can kill you."

"From this point of view, it is not Luo Xin who betrayed, but Lord Han and all the officials in Huainan." Su Shiyu said in a low voice, "Since Lord Han turned his mansion into a Shura field, his wife and children must have been transferred?"

Han Zhongwen didn't speak.

Chu Mingyun laughed without emotion, "Why don't you talk? It's all come to this point, let's just make it clear. Buy Zhang You, hunt down and kill the whole family of Shouchun County Prime Minister, and do whatever you want in Shouchun with one hand covering the sky, you It’s so beautiful, so did you kill all the reinforcements?” After a slight pause, he said, “I don’t believe that anything will disappear out of thin air, it’s better to say that all this is a good show you carefully arranged, but in fact there is no such thing as a show. What Huainan king rebelled against the party?"

"You are wrong, Master Chu." Han Zhongwen finally spoke, he stood up and stepped back, "Of course there are the remnants left by King Huainan, otherwise who are these people?"

Before the words were finished, the figures of archers appeared densely on the eaves, all dressed in black, exactly the attire of the men in black that they met at Cheng's house in Shouchun County that night.

"Fire arrows!"

In response to the sound, the arrows shot down like rain.Unexpectedly, the other people in the court were in a mess, screaming and running around, but they were shot and fell to the ground by random arrows. The attendants drew their knives to block, sparks splashed when the knives and arrows collided, and the sound of gold and stone clanged .Chu Mingyun stood up and waved away the oncoming arrow with his wide sleeves rolled up. He stretched out his hand to grab Su Shiyu, but was suddenly pulled back by Su Shiyu and bumped into him unexpectedly.

Chu Mingyun was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw the sword slipped out of his sleeve, flickered between the handsome white finger bones, then flew out to the distance, swift as an arrow, but far more powerful than an arrow, turning into cold Mang Yidian passed by three arrows, directly piercing the chest of the archer who was alone in the corner of the eaves, bringing out a bunch of blood.

Out of so many archers, only this one was specially prepared for Chu Mingyun, hidden in a blind spot that he couldn't see, covered by the mixed sound of countless flying arrows, and fired three arrows in a row, the arrows went straight to the vital point!

It's just that they didn't expect that this gentle and gentle Yushi doctor would actually know martial arts.

However, the opponent was a good archer after all, and the positions of the three shots were different, and Su Shiyu had no weapon in his hand, so he avoided the first two shots in a flash, but was finally pierced into his arm by the last arrow.

Su Shiyu didn't respond, he didn't even hum, but Chu Mingyun's face suddenly changed, "Shiyu..."

"It's just a flesh injury, it doesn't matter." Su Shiyu let go of him, pulled out the arrow and was about to throw it away, but Chu Mingyun grabbed his wrist, he clearly saw the green light on the cluster of arrows, and his face was extremely ugly, "There is poison in the arrow. "

Su Shiyu broke free from his hand and threw the arrow, took out a white jade bottle and took a few pills, and even raised his eyes and smiled at him, "It's okay, I can hold on."

There was nowhere to hide, and under the attack of the arrow rain, most of the attendants died trying to protect the two of them, and the remaining few were also injured.Han Zhongwen didn't care that the people who had taken refuge were killed by mistake. The court was already covered with corpses and blood flowed like a river, and only these few people stood alone in the middle.The archers were changing their arrows and setting their bows, and it was this gap that allowed them to talk, but after that, they would undoubtedly die. Thinking of this, the archers were also very excited, and with the mood of the last blow, they pulled the bowstring After tightening to the extreme, let go and release the arrow.

Flowing arrows whirled, suddenly a few black shadows passed by, they didn't know where they came from, and stopped in the courtyard in the blink of an eye, with Chu Mingyun as the center, standing with their backs facing each other, the sword in his hand was shining brightly, weaving a dense network of arrows Blocked them all, and two more people also held bows and arrows, raised their hands and shot at the eaves.There were only six of them, far less than the attendants just now, but when they stood in the court, the atmosphere was chilling.

"Subordinates are late, please be punished by the Lord!"

Without saying a word, Chu Mingyun grabbed the horn bow in the shadow guard's hand, drew out three arrows and hit it.

The shadow guard who was facing the row of archers heard the voice behind him, and said extremely coldly, "Low your head."

They didn't dare to hesitate at all, and bent down in response. Immediately afterwards, the sharp wind passed over their heads, bringing out a sharp scream. They looked up, and unexpectedly found that the three arrows did not directly point at the archer, but pierced through the archer. The lanterns hanging under the eaves, with their momentum undiminished all the way up, shot into the body.

The lantern burst, and the flames boiled on the person, and spread rapidly. The flames on the eaves suddenly shot up into the sky, reflecting the dark sky, moaning and screaming one after another, and countless archers rolled and fell down in pain, and fell to the ground. The fire surged again, crackling and burning.

Chu Mingyun hugged Su Shiyu, wondering if the Hundred Poisons Remedy would be effective against this poison, he clearly took the medicine, but his face paled visibly, and he was always good at hiding and covering up, never showing any pain, On the contrary, Chu Mingyun was even more upset, too lazy to bother Han Zhongwen, "Shiyu, let's go out first."

Su Shiyu nodded, his thoughts froze and sluggish, he gnawed on the meridians and bones like insect bites, but he still pressed Chu Mingyun's hand to hug him, shook his head and said: "...I can walk by myself , you hold your sword."

"World Honor..."

"...I'll go by myself," he insisted.

"Tsk." Chu Mingyun had no choice but to hold him tightly, and turned his head to say something to the shadow guard. He was so close, but Su Shiyu couldn't hear clearly, and it was vague. He raised his eyes and saw the fierce fire not far away. Thick smoke billowed everywhere, suddenly felt a little cold for no reason, and heard a thin voice calling him in a trance:

"Little General..."

Su Shiyu was taken aback.

Chu Mingyun glanced at Su Shiyu, then tightened his arms, and rushed out first, followed by the shadow guard.

Han Zhongwen stared at them in the corridor in the distance, raised his voice and shouted at the soldiers: "What are you still doing, stop them!"

The government soldiers drew their knives and rushed forward.

This mansion is full of green bamboos, lush forests, and countless winding paths connecting each other. When Han Zhongwen built it back then, he never imagined that it would be quite beneficial to them now.Under the cover of the bamboo leaves, it was dim and difficult to distinguish, the sword light flickered, and the shadow moved between the leaves like splashed ink, splashing and staining the green bamboo.

Su Shiyu staggered at his feet, Chu Mingyun pulled him into his arms, and with a little light, he saw that his face was as pale as paper, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, "Shiyu, what's wrong with you, where does it hurt?"

The flesh and blood seemed to be drilled and split apart, and even his chest convulsed, but Su Shiyu pursed his lips and shook his head. After a moment, he tried his best to break away from Chu Mingyun, but his feet were weak and he couldn't help but fall. on the ground.Chu Mingyun knelt down and stared at him closely, the shadow guards also stopped, surrounded them at a distance, and stared at the surrounding bamboo forest vigilantly.

"you go first……"

"Don't even think about it." Chu Mingyun interrupted him directly.

It was a bit difficult to speak, Su Shiyu opened his mouth slowly, and carefully analyzed it to him, "Taking me will only drag you down, we can't get out, but as long as you escape, Han Zhongwen will keep my life as a threat , won’t kill me... It won’t be too late to discuss saving me after you return to the barracks.” Seeing Chu Mingyun’s expression, he added softly, “…Be obedient, now is not the time to be willful.”

The government soldiers had already discovered their positions, and there were many figures flickering outside the forest, and some of them had rushed in to meet the shadow guards with swords, and the commotion suddenly broke out.Although the opponent suffered heavy casualties, the victory was due to the large number of people, and wave after wave of attacks, the shadow guards were physically exhausted and each was injured.

Hearing the sound of Jin Ming's cessation, Chu Mingyun clasped his shoulders tightly, and said in a cold and stern tone, "I want to be willful. It's my decision whether to take you or not, and it's not your turn to speak."

Su Shiyu smiled helplessly, and was about to speak again when the pain rushed from his limbs to his head and exploded. He shook violently and covered his mouth, but dark red blood continued to overflow from his fingers, and big drops Big drops fell to the ground, splashing blood on Confucian white clothes.

"Shiyu!" Chu Mingyun panicked, grabbed his hand, feeling at a loss like never before, "Shiyu...how are you..."

Su Shiyu stared blankly at the blood on his hands, confused, he couldn't hear Ming Yun's voice clearly, but another voice became clear little by little:

"Little General..."

He felt cold all over.It was so cold that it penetrated into the blood and bone finely.

"Shiyu..." Chu Mingyun's voice trembled, seeing his drooping eyes like wells that were drying up, dimmed without a trace of brilliance, Chu Mingyun held his hand tightly, but clearly felt the always warm The palms turned cold little by little, and his mind suddenly turned blank, he leaned over and hugged him, "Shiyu..."

Su Shiyu couldn't hear anything, there was a silence in his ears, and then there was the sound of rain, and the voice that was close at hand:

"Little General..."

Weak to the point of nothingness, it suddenly became clear again, it was the moment of dying, the roar of the last breath before dying:

"Little general, run away—!"

That's too late.That's too late.

The unstoppable gurgling of blood, the redness of his hands, was washed and gushed out by the torrential rain. He raised his eyes and looked far away, the battlefield was thousands of miles away, and the flames of the wolf were extinguished by the rainstorm. In the next moment, everything in his eyes fell to the ground together with him.

He saw raindrops hitting the muddy puddles, splashing blood-colored stagnant water, he saw corpses lying all over the field, all familiar faces, refusing to close their eyes, with the word escape still in their mouths, and then he heard approaching footsteps voice, he heard another voice calling him.

"...Why?" He couldn't get up anymore.

"No reason." The man stepped on the boy's back and looked down at him, "Looks like a little girl, do you really know what war is?"

As soon as he spoke, muddy water mixed with blood choked into his throat, but he said stubbornly: "We obviously trust you so much..."

"You have to believe me yourself, can you blame me?" The man sneered and said, "Little girl, the whole army is wiped out. If you want to blame, I can only blame you for being stupid, blame you for being stupid."

With his hair pulled, he turned his head up to face the same familiar face. The rain was pouring down, and the raindrops hit his eyes cold and painful, but he stared at the man without blinking, "I will definitely I'll kill you," he said word by word, "I hate people who cheat and take advantage of their feelings the most."
