At the moment when he realized that he had traveled to the world in the book, Jiang Shu thought that he might be able to meet the protagonist in his novel, but he never expected that he would meet the other party in this situation.

Jiang Shu has complicated feelings about Xing Sang.

First of all, the other party is a character created by himself. To exaggerate, it is not wrong to say that he is his own son. In this world, no one knows the other party better than him.

But also because of his understanding, he knew what kind of ambitious and dangerous person this seemingly inconspicuous young man of the Jie nationality was.

If you want to sum up Xing Sang's life in eight words, it would be "unkind by nature, cruel and ruthless".

He is smart and good at disguising, and he is born with strong military talents, but he has not used such abilities in the right way.

His journey to the top from the bottom to the top can be said to be paved with countless killings and blood. His wife, father-in-law, mentor, subordinates...all the people who helped him were either used by him or killed by him in the end. Just like an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

I have to say that Jiang Shu felt very happy when he conceived such a protagonist, but now, looking at the other party's eyes like a lone wolf, he just felt chills in his heart.

"Jiang Yan," seeing Jiang Shu standing still, the county soldier couldn't help reminding, "If nothing happens, I will take him away."

The voice of the county soldier brought Jiang Shu back to his senses.

"Wait a little longer," he said.

Although he didn't want to have too much contact with the protagonist from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Shu still made a decision in an instant.

He wanted to keep this person under his nose and not let him follow the path in the book.

Not only because this road is full of killings, but also because he is from the state of Wei now, and with his current status, he is exactly on the opposite side of the future Xing Sang.

The Great Xia Kingdom in the book did quell the war and unify the world, but it was not a normal country. Under Xing Sang's rule, it was more like a giant war machine.

Emphasis on martial arts and culture, all the people are soldiers, the people don't care about farming, but are forced to build castles and forge weapons all day long... All kinds of extreme policies lead to many internal contradictions in the country, and it is necessary to continuously expand outward and plunder other countries' resources in order to survive. Domestic order is barely maintained, and once such plundering stops, the entire country will quickly collapse.

He couldn't watch such a horrible thing happen.

"Have you ever killed a county soldier?" After making a decision, Jiang Shu asked.

Xing Sang was silent.

The county soldier replied for him: "He has never killed. Those who have killed our brothers have been assigned to another group. The work they have to do is harder and more tiring."

Jiang Shu nodded and said, "Give me the rope."

The county soldier was puzzled, but he didn't dare to resist the order. After hesitating for a while, he obediently handed the end of the hemp rope tied with the Jieren to Jiang Shu's hand.

Jiang Shu held the rope, and without looking at the faces of the Jie people, turned to the soldiers and said, "Take me to see Wei Yan."

"O...no."

·

"You want to take this Jie slave back?" Wei Zhuo raised his eyebrows, his eyes turned around the faces of the Jie people, quite puzzled.

Jie people have strange appearance, with deep eye sockets and a pointed nose bridge, which makes people feel sharp like a cliff, which is very inconsistent with the current aesthetics of Wei people who love gentle and handsome style, so he will not think that Jiang Shu is attracted to this Jie Hu looks.

"That's right." Jiang Shu nodded, without further explanation, just said: "He never killed the county soldiers, and he was forced by the Huns to rob grain and grass. I think he is still young, and it's a pity to spend his whole life in labor, so I want to take him. Go back and be a boy servant."

But how many Wei people in this world spend their lives doing hard work, why should they bring a Jie man back?

These words turned around in Wei Zhuo's throat, but he didn't say it after all.

After a moment of silence, Wei Zhuo agreed to the other party's request.

Zuo Zuo is just a Jie slave, not worth even a hu rice in the market.

Besides, Jiang Shu was the one who resolved the grain and grass crisis. Since he didn't care about the identity of this Jie slave, Wei Zhuo thought he had nothing to persuade him.

So, Jiang Shu took Xing Sang back to the county mansion without any effort.

From the beginning to the end of the whole process, Jiang Shu never exchanged a word with the Jie youth.

It wasn't until he returned to the back house of the county mansion and got off the ox cart that Jiang Shu looked at Jiehu who was being held by the rope by the boy servant, and said, "I want you to be my book boy, are you willing?"

Because of walking for too long and his body was thin, Jiehu young man was almost too weak to speak at this time, he just raised his head and pulled the corner of his mouth at Jiang Shu.

"If you don't want to, I will send you back to the barracks and continue to be your prisoner," Jiang Shu said without emotion, "but you can think clearly, follow me, maybe one day you can regain your freedom, go to Serving hard labor, you will have to be guarded by officers and soldiers for the rest of your life.”

Xing Sang lowered his eyelids, his voice was hoarse and low: "I am willing."

Although he heard the answer he wanted, Jiang Shu didn't smile at all, and motioned to the boy servant beside him: "Untie his rope."

"promise."

The rope tied to Jiehu's body was tied for too long. When he untied it, he could see that the skin of Jiehu's hands and feet had been worn away by the hemp rope.

Jiang Shu glanced at the scar on his wrist, and said lightly, "Come with me."

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Shu first asked Zhitao to bring some meals to Xing Sang, and then ordered someone to clean up the vacant handyman's house in the courtyard for him to live in, and sent him hot water, wound medicine and clean clothes, and ordered the other party to tidy up his personal life. Hygienic see him again.

Xing Sang hid on the mountain for a long time, and kept on driving after being arrested. He hadn't bathed for an unknown amount of time, and the dirt on his body had accumulated a thick layer.

After he had dinner and washed his body and hair thoroughly, it was already an hour later.

At that time, Jiang Shu was at his desk dealing with official business. When he saw Jiehu who had been tidied up being led in by Zhitao, he waved to him: "Come in front of me."

Perhaps because of filling his stomach and changing into clean clothes, the uncontrollable wild aura on Xing Sang's body subsided a lot.

But when he walked to the front of the case, Xiao Wu, who was lying on the desk, was still threatened, and stared at the Jie youth with his back raised.

Xing Sang lowered his gaze to the cat, and suddenly bared his teeth and made a threatening gesture at the cat, so frightened that Xiao Wu suddenly stood upright, and quickly jumped a few meters away.

Jiang Shu clicked his tongue lightly: "What are you scaring it for?"

Xing Sang kept silent.

Jiang Shu reasoned with him: "As the saying goes, if you have a grudge, you will get revenge, and if you have a grudge, you will get revenge. Since it didn't mess with you, why did you bother it?"

Xing Sang raised his eyes suddenly, and said mockingly: "My mother and I have never offended the Huns, why did they arrest my mother, why did they abuse and whip her, and tortured her to death?"

Jiang Shu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then his heart sank slowly.

It turns out that the plot has already progressed to this point.

In fact, Xing Sang was not a cruel and ruthless person at the beginning. He would become the cruel and heartless person later. There was a big factor, that is, he witnessed his mother being whipped into a puddle of flesh by several Hun soldiers. .

The main character in the book appeared after Xunyang was breached. At that time, his mother had died. Xing Sang endured humiliation in the Huns camp for many days, and finally found an opportunity to encourage Jienu to rebel, kill the guards, burn the tents, and escape from the Huns. big camp.

At this time, there are still a few months before the event of the fall of Xunyang on the timeline.

Jiang Shu originally held a sliver of hope, Xing Sang's mother is not dead, so maybe he can teach the young man in front of him to cultivate correct values, teach him what is loyalty, what is good and evil, then even if one day the other party will still go to fight for the king The old way of fighting for hegemony can also use his talents in the right way.

But unexpectedly, his mother was already dead.

Witnessing the only family member passing away in such a cruel way was a huge blow to Xing Sang, and Jiang Shu was really not sure how to guide the protagonist in this situation back to the right path.

But now that he has brought people back, there is no turning back.

"So they are wicked people," Jiang Shu sighed softly, "The Xiongnu killed your relatives for no reason, you should seek revenge from them."

After all, seeing the hostility in the eyes of the young man in front of him, he comforted him in a calm and calm tone: "You should take revenge, but not now.

"Now you are alone, thin and weak. You go to seek revenge from them, but you are going to kill yourself."

"Then how do I become stronger? Practicing martial arts?"

"Practice martial arts, and also practice writing," Jiang Shu replied, "Practicing martial arts can make the body strong, and writing can make the heart strong. Only by arming yourself from the inside out can you have the capital for revenge."

Xing Sang fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking about.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Shu said, "Are you literate?"

Xing Sang raised his eyes, frowned and shook his head.

Jiang Shu gestured to the cushion beside her: "Sit here, I'll teach you."

Xing Sang stood still.

"You can't be my book boy if you don't even know the words. Besides, don't you still want revenge?"

"You want to avenge me?"

"I won't avenge you, but we Wei people and the Huns also have grudges, and we are on the same front."

Xing Sang hesitated for a while, then walked to his side and sat down cross-legged.

Jiang Shu put away the essay, unfolded a piece of white linen paper, picked up a brush and dipped it in the ink, and said, "This is the first time I'm writing, I'll teach you the most important point first."

After the words fell, he clearly wrote two ink characters on the paper stroke by stroke.

"This is?"

"my name."

Xing Sang raised his head, frowned and looked at him, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"You heard me right, it's not your name, but mine, Jiang Shu."

"Why is your name the most important?"

"Because I am the one who rescued you from the prison camp. In other words, I am your benefactor. You should remember my name firmly."

Jiang Shu stated the reason in a serious tone: "I don't mean to ask you to respect me and appreciate me, but you, Xing Sang, need to learn to be grateful. Whether it is me now or the people who help you in the future, you must learn to be grateful. As a human being, you must never be ungrateful, this is the purpose of my teaching you these two words."

Xing Sang seems to understand, he can't quite understand why the other party said to teach him how to read, and why he should instill these concepts in him, but at this moment, the word "gratitude" that the man said in a solemn tone is indeed true. In fact, it was imprinted in his eyes in a special way.

"Now, copy my name a hundred times."
