[Qin] Qin Shi

"You don't want Marquis Xinping, who has fought for Zhao Guo all his life, to end like this?"

The silver-white sword lay across the side of Lian Po's neck, and the sharp light of the sword reflected the dazzling light in the sunlight.The child who used to be only as tall as the general's thigh has grown up, and the man holding him has long since aged. The tip of the sword only needs to be slightly downward, and it can be tilted on his neck without any effort.

"If you don't have the certainty of killing with one blow," the young man holding Lian Po's eyes slightly curved, showing a cute smile, "it's better not to let go of the arrow." There was no sense of being in a dangerous situation in the words, On the contrary, it seems like a bystander is commenting on the absurdity and indifference of a farce.

Lian Po held the gun in one hand, and turned his back to Bai Shu: "Let the arrow!" The voice was loud and firm, "I've earned my life by living on the battlefield to this day, if I can exchange this life of this old man's for yours, it's worth it! "Because of the angle, he couldn't see Bai Shu, but he didn't need to see Bai Shu right now.

"The old general is chivalrous," Bai Shu sighed unhurriedly, "but the old general has been for Zhao all his life, even if he left the country of Zhao, he never did anything to hurt the face of the country of Zhao - in the end he died at the hands of his own people. hands——no matter how you think about it, you will always sigh for the old general's loyalty to Zhao Guo."

[Some archers hesitated,] the system gave feedback in time, [Is Zuitun really the most effective. 】

What Bai Shu said was only the first half, and following his logic, the things he didn't say are the words that came to everyone's minds at the moment: If even heroes can be ruthlessly killed, such a country The O family, what reason does such a king have to be loyal to?

Lian Po didn't know anything about politics, but he also had psychological offense and defense when it came to marching and fighting. He could clearly see Bai Shu's actions at the moment: "This is not the king's intention, but Lao Tzu's decision." He interrupted everyone's shaking hearts I thought, "I have half my foot in the coffin. I can exchange you for a promising general of the enemy country. This is the old man's money."

The hand holding the long sword suddenly tightened. Because of the shaking of the sword holder's arm, the iron-cut sword fell into Lian Po's neck, cutting a hole: "That's it," and the old general who felt the pain But the face is happy, "Kill the old man, the grievances between you and me will be over."

Because if you die, there will be no hostages in my hands, and you will die here—dead man, where is there any grudge?

'A lonely promise is not for a dead person. For no reason, a voice pierced into Bai Shu's mind.

This voice made Bai Shu's eyes flicker, and the absurd thoughts that had floated in his mind dissipated: "Don't play weird recordings in my head, system. '

【You know Lian Po is just provoking you, right? 】The system that cut off the recording looked at Bai Shu's Sanity Points that were slowly rising at the moment, 【This time, there are still people waiting for you to go back in Qin. 】

"The old general is so anxious to die." Bai Shu glanced at the red-stained sword, and when he raised his eyes to look at the leading general, his eyes were filled with killing intent, "Tell the archers to retreat, and you don't want to see why A veteran who was loyal to the country just died at the hands of someone like me, right?"

"It's better to advise Yanbei-jun that you think twice," the general's face remained unchanged, "Since Yanbei-jun, you can hold the old general hostage and ignore the past kindness, but let me breathe a sigh of relief." What he said was strange, "I thought such insidious means are really not on the table."

what?

Bai Shu was startled, and then the man who pushed out from behind the Yuangong door took all his attention: "Hi?" He couldn't believe it, "Why you..." Having said this, he realized that I asked myself a very stupid question, why Xi was here, and why everything went smoothly before I went over the wall and was admitted to the hospital.

He just doesn't want to think about it, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know.

Xi, who has now grown into a young man, closed his eyes and was forced into such a complicated battlefield. He was the brother he trusted and admired the most when he was facing him, but he was like a wooden man, and he didn't respond: "Hey, don't get along with me!" Did your traitorous brother say something, like asking for help?"

The young man was motionless, like a dummy.Such an attitude of refusal to cooperate annoyed the general who wanted to use it to blackmail Bai Shu: "You want to die so much? Obviously you are compatriots of the same father. Now that your elder brother abandons you, you don't hate him." Are you cold-blooded and heartless?"

Bai Shu frowned, and involuntarily looked at Lian Po who was standing with his back: "It's strange. ’ he murmured, ‘What happened to Lian Po? '

The system is also at a loss: [His intention to kill you is real, but since he judged that you are of Bai Qi's blood, why didn't he tell other people about it, instead continue to cover it up for you? 】The Zhao people's hatred for the Qin people, more precisely the hatred for Lord Wu'an Bai Qi, has been engraved in the bone marrow since the Battle of Changping.

But Lian Po, why didn't he say it?

Hearing the words 'cold-blooded and merciless', the young man who had closed his eyes finally opened his eyes, but what he looked at was not Bai Shu, but the Zhao general who spoke to him: "You only have this little ability." With a sneer, "Using the news that my elder brother was killed by the people of Qin, you tricked me out of Yanbei and tied me to Handan. I should praise you for being a bit hospitable. Haven't you ever been punished?"

【Happy kid, he's smart enough. 】The system exclaimed, 【So Yanbei thought you were killed by the Qin people?Then this is really a good wave of hatred - in terms of Yanbei's loyalty to you, I'm afraid it will become a very good offensive and defensive line for Zhao Guo in the future - your personality cult is really good. 】

Knowing that Xixi hadn't been tortured these days, Bai Shu was somewhat relieved.But right now he himself is in deep trouble, let alone escaped with Xi Yitong: "What do you want to do?" Bai Shu asked after taking a deep breath.

Hearing the question, the general glanced past Xi and landed on Bai Shu: "General, are you going to catch him without a fight?"

It's just a pity that Bai Shu's inquiry was not aimed at him: "If it weren't for my brother, Xi would probably just be a small village in this life and be an ordinary farmer. He couldn't read, couldn't read, didn't I have seen the world beyond Handan, let alone know the vastness beyond the Central Plains."

"Perhaps for the rest of his life, he was just an inconspicuous ordinary peasant who no one would remember even if he was killed by the princes and nobles tomorrow."

A bad premonition rose from the bottom of Bai Shu's heart: "Don't do stupid things." Although he and Xi are not related by blood, he and Xi have known each other since that year when the farmer left the north, and since his aunt brought three children to Yanbei. In the past 25 years, watching him grow up from a little muddy kid rolling in the fields to now knowing how to marry a wife and have children, he has already regarded Xi as his family.

"Brother," the young man standing among the soldiers looked at him, who was only a few steps away from him, but looked like an elder brother who was thousands of miles away, "Xi's life belongs to his parents. But the meaning of this life is given by his elder brother." .” His eyes were frank, and there was even a bit of relief and joy.

"Xi has already repaid the life of his parents. But for the gift of his elder brother, Xi used to think that he might not be able to help his elder brother in his whole life, let alone repay it. But now,"

He paused and turned around: "If the elder brother is gone, then everyone can study, everyone can be in power, and the Yanbei who does not close the house at night and has a lot of food and clothing. That person does not have to worry about people freezing to death, and does not have to worry about the safety of the family. The biggest worry for people is It's Yanbei who wants to eat tonight."

"The best wishes and longings of all of us will pass away with my brother."

The bad premonition in Bai Shu's heart became stronger and stronger: "Don't do stupid things!" If he was not in jail at this moment, he would definitely rush up and slap Xi, to let him know what it means to not be sentimental.

"Before we came to Handan, we had already made such preparations." The tears rolling in Xi's eyes finally welled up at this moment, "Now I can see my brother standing in front of Xi again, and I can see that my brother is safe and sound at the end." , it's really—" He couldn't remember the last time he cried, maybe when his mother remarried, "—that's great."

Ever since Yanbei heard about his brother's death, the feelings he had been suppressing, the tears that had been buried in his heart along the way, finally poured down at this moment.

His vision was blurred by tears, but he was still reluctant to blink, as if the moment his vision went dark, the person standing in the distance would disappear without a trace, as if when he blinked, all of this would be declared to be just a dream of Huang Ke: " Really, that's great." Other than that, he didn't know what else to say.

"Don't worry, brother." When he spoke, bright red blood gushed out of his mouth without warning.However, Xi didn't care about the way he kept gushing blood, and a cheerful and bright smile appeared on his pale face: "Compared to elder brother, Xi doesn't hurt at all."

【His health is dropping. 】

Bai Shu opened his mouth, looking in shock at Xi, who was dedicated to the enemy's camp, and watched the child who grew up beside him calmly wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Flee to Qin, brother," he said , "Elder brother can be arrested for our lives, why can't we do something for elder brother?"

"At the end..." He opened his mouth, and the bright red blood poured out unstoppably, and the body that had been holding on for so long finally declared a strike.Xi's knees gave way, and he fell forward. The soldiers who had been surrounding him for some reason subconsciously gave up a piece of ground, allowing him to fall headfirst into the garden.

In the end--

In Xi's blurred vision was the old general who fell to the ground following him.

In the end, brother——

There was also the sound of fighting, and in a farther place, in a distance that his dilapidated body could not hear or see, a fire suddenly rose.

——Please take Yanbei to a farther future, the future you promised me.

'Brother Shu? '

'what? '

'When Le grows up, how will Xi tell him what his parents are like? '

'Well, the elder sister-in-law is like a mother, how about I marry a wife for you as a brother? '

When Le grows up, I tell him that the so-called father and mother are to let the child learn the six arts of a gentleman, and give the child a life without worrying about food and clothing, but will be furious because of late return, just like the eldest brother.
