Dinghai Fusheng Records
Chapter 85 Persuading Surrender┃In this troubled world, he is a well-deserved hero
Underground, in the Magic Palace.
"My lord... my lord..." Wang Ziye's soul wailed, slowly crawling towards the huge heart on the ground.
Princess Qinghe, Feng Qianjun, Xiao Shan, a majestic general with a pre-Qin helmet covering his face, Wang Meng and Sima Wei with his arms broken, and a huge rotten wolf surround Wang Ziye, the remaining two souls of Wang Ziye , Struggling endlessly on the ground, climbed up to the altar, and stretched out a hand towards the heart.
"You... trash," said Chi You's voice, "You boasted that you had done everything possible, but you ended up like this in the end."
A little demon blood dripped from the heart, and fell into Wang Ziye's soul. Wang Ziye let out a strange howl, and the phantom of the soul showed ripples, slowly dispersed, and reunited again, showing a hazy figure.
"I need...more...resentment." Wang Ziye said slowly, "The power of cultivating for thousands of years has been burned away by the heart lamp..."
"Unbelievably stupid!" Chi You shouted in a trembling voice.
Wang Ziye shuddered suddenly, and knelt down on the ground with the phantom of his soul.
"Have you found your formation?" Chi You asked coldly.
Wang Ziye replied: "Yes. In Longmen Mountain, the remains of the ancient tidal array were indeed found."
Chi You: "Let's set up the formation, use the spiritual energy of the sea pearl to activate the seven magic weapons, and when Fu Jian starts the battle, he will reshape the body for Gu."
Wang Ziye said: "But Dinghaizhu..."
Chi You replied: "I will come."
Wang Ziye: "All magic weapons..."
Chi You replied: "Of course we will arrive. The ghost king has stabilized. There are enough seven guards here. You can go and arrange them right away."
Wang Ziye looked at the tall general called "Ghost King".
Chi You said again: "With Gu's strength, he can be stabilized for a few months for the time being, let him go to Hara and Lin, let's go now."
"Yes." Wang Ziye said, "This subordinate still needs a physical body."
"Find it yourself." Chi You said in a deep voice.
Wang Ziye turned his head and looked at his subordinates. Feng Qianjun and Xiao Shan's eyes were blurred, and there was a faint red light in their hearts.
Chi You's voice gradually lowered: "He will definitely come to save Chen Xing's life, but before that, he can't consume Gu's strength anymore..."
Wang Ziye nodded hurriedly.
In the seventh year of Taiyuan, August [-]th.
"How long did you sleep this time?" Chen Xing said to himself, when he got up he had a headache that he couldn't stand.
After the battle with Wang Ziye, it was incredible that he could survive.
"Where's Xiang Shu?" Chen Xing murmured again, "Xiang Shu! Where are you?"
Xiang Shu didn't stay by the couch, Chen Xing looked down, and saw that he was wearing single clothes, the same as when he was unconscious every time, so he got down on the couch, opened the bedroom door, and it was nightfall.There is a little autumn in the night wind, which is already very cool.
There was a full moon in the sky, and the moonlight this night was extremely bright, so bright that it didn't even look like it was at night.
Chen Xing heard talking and laughing in the distance, so he walked through the corridor and entered the garden. He saw that there were a lot of guests. Xie Anzheng, Xie Xuan, Wang Xizhi and others were drinking, having snacks and admiring the moon, while Xie Daoyun was sitting beside him worriedly.
"You..." Chen Xing was a little confused about the situation.
"Wake up!" Xie Daoyun shouted.
"Wake up, wake up!" Xie An immediately stepped forward to help Chen Xing.
Immediately, all the guests in the garden were in a commotion, and hurriedly got up to greet them. Chen Xing said: "What kind of banquet are you having? Wait, wait until I change my clothes..." He was a little dizzy, and Xie Daoyun hurriedly said: "Go back and rest for a while Son, you just woke up."
Wang Xizhi said: "Quickly go to someone and inform the Martial God."
"He said," Xie An explained, "even if he didn't wake up, he would come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Where's Xiang Shu?" Chen Xing asked blankly, "Where's Brother Qianjun? Where did Xiao Shan go?"
Xie Daoyun asked him to go back to his room, and then slowly talked to him, Huan Yi was also there, Wang Xizhi, Xie Xuan and others all came in.
Chen Xing drank some tea, woke up a little, raised his eyes to look at Xie An with a questioning intention.
"I've been asleep for three months?" Chen Xing said after knowing it, "Well, yes, it's almost the same as the last time I was in a coma, much better than I imagined. Where is this?"
Xie Daoyun said: "Shou County."
"Why are you all here?" Chen Xing asked suspiciously, "What are you all doing in Shou County?"
Xie An hesitated to speak.
"Let's do it one by one." Xie An finally said, "Based on Sima Wei's whereabouts, the Valkyrie went to track down the location of the Illusory Demon Palace."
"Oh." Chen Xing said, "Then it should be nearby. No wonder I'm not by my side today. Have you found out whereabouts?"
Xie Daoyun shook his head, and Wang Xizhi said, "He will come back once a month. He said that whether you wake up or not, he will come back as August [-]th approaches."
"Yeah." Chen Xing said, "After that battle last time? What happened to the others?"
Xie Daoyun said: "Feng Qianjun and little master Xiao Shan are both missing. Shulukong said that he will definitely bring them back, so don't worry."
"How can I not be worried?" Chen Xing said wearily.
This was the last thing Chen Xing wanted to see, but it still happened.Ever since they started using their grievances to drive the magic weapon, Chen Xing had a vague premonition of ominousness.And in the end, the red light that burst out from their hearts played a decisive role, but how did they drink the blood of the demon god?
The more Chen Xing thought about it, the more he had a headache. Fortunately, a long time ago, he planted a seed of heart light in their hearts for prevention. Maybe there is still a chance to compete with each other.
"Three days after the Yi Que battle, Fu Jian returned to Chang'an." Xie Xuan said to Chen Xing, "You eliminated all his demons, but Fu Jian still decided to go to war."
With the shattering of the yin and yang mirror, Wang Ziye has completely disappeared.Fu Jian didn't say anything after returning to Chang'an, but gathered all his troops, marched towards Shou County according to the previous plan, and prepared to go to war, so as to avenge his shame.Murong Chong gave up the silver cavalry and left Luoyang, but his whereabouts are unknown.
"Where is the Lost Soul Bell?" Chen Xing said.
Xie An replied: "The magic weapons are all kept by the Martial God, so there must be nothing wrong."
Wang Xizhi sat down at the side, nodded and said, "We are here to see Anshi. There will be a war in the next few days, and everyone has to go back."
Chen Xing nodded, frowning deeply, and said, "Where's Tuobayan?"
"Let's go." Xie An said.
"Where did you go?" Chen Xing said, "Are you with Murong Chong?"
"Dead." Xie An added, "In order to prevent his corpse from being used again, the God of War cremated him on Chaohu Lake before you woke up."
Xie Daoyun got up, found a box on the bookshelf, and handed it to Chen Xing. Chen Xing opened it, and inside was the ring that Tuobayan had given him.
"Where is Fu Jian's army?" Chen Xing said.
"They are currently stationed in Xiangcheng," Xie Xuan replied. "There is no sign of war yet. Shou County has become the front line. It stands to reason that you should withdraw first, but since the war has not officially started, everyone thinks there is no need to panic too much." .”
Chen Xing nodded and said, "Who is taking care of me these days?"
Xie An said: "Most of the time, I was with you. Dao Yun knew you were sick, so she came over to see if she was worried."
Chen Xing nodded his thanks, and Wang Xizhi said: "You should rest for a while, you will naturally lose energy when you wake up after a long sleep."
So Xie An and the others withdrew. Chen Xing was drowsy. After a while, he couldn't help falling asleep again, but this time he woke up soon.Xie Daoyun personally delivered the porridge outside, and Chen Xing asked many questions, Xie Daoyun answered them one by one. After the first battle in Yishui, Wang Ziye and his 魃 seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
However, Chen Xing always felt that things would not be so simple. Although Wang Ziye was knocked out by the falling soul clock, Chi You was still alive. Facts have proved that the contempt for Chi You has led to the failure of success, because this demon god has almost never appeared. Fang gave them the illusion that Wang Ziye was the number one target.
But the demon god who has been torn apart must be very limited in what he can do, otherwise he would have already done it himself, and he would not rely on Wang Ziye for everything.Has Xiang Shu scouted out where they are hiding?I only hope that before the war between Qin and Jin, we can find the Magic Palace and solve this matter.
I hope that nothing will happen to Feng Qianjun and Xiao Shan. Since Chi You took them away, maybe he just wanted to use them, so in the short term, his life should not be in danger.
There is only one year left before my final deadline.
In the afternoon, Chen Xing thought about many things silently, and began to worry about Xiao Shan and Feng Qianjun again, so the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. If he knew where they were, he might go to rescue them as soon as he woke up, but there was no one there. As for the news, even Chi You didn't know where he was hiding.
He began to try to use the heart lamp, everything was as usual, and the power of the soul gradually recovered in the deep sleep.
And when he used the heart lamp, there seemed to be a sense in the distance, and it flashed along with it.
It's a statement!Chen Xing felt it right away, but couldn't judge the distance, just like finding Xiang Shu in Xiangyang City that day. In the past three years, as they lived and died together and fought bloody battles, the connection seemed to become closer each time.
"Where are you?" Chen Xing muttered, offering his heart lamp again.
Xiang Shu in the distance felt something again, and the heart lamp also flickered.When Chen Xing activated the heart lamp again, Xiang Shu ignored him, perhaps because he was afraid that he would be recovering after a long sleep and would waste his energy.
The next day, Chen Xing ate a lot of food, and his whole body became more energetic. Xie Daoyun boiled ginseng soup to replenish his exhausted blood. Chen Xing finally had blood on his face. Wrapped in a brocade robe, he sat in the yard watching Autumn is long.
Suddenly he heard a noise outside, thought it was Xiang Shu who came back, but when he went out to see, it was a Han, wearing a Qin official uniform, who came into the Shou County Taishou's mansion, holding a scroll of documents.
Fu Jian's envoy?
All the people headed by Xie An avoided seeing them, lest the envoys know that the senior officials of the Jin Dynasty were here, and Xie Xuan would come forward to receive them.
"Who are those people?" Chen Xing asked in a low voice.
"To persuade you to surrender." A young official said to Chen Xing, "Master Xie and the others are hiding behind the screen. If Master Chen wants to hear something, please follow me, and I will take you there."
After all, at the time of the New Year's Eve, Chen Xing's name as an exorcist was already well-known in Jiangnan, and Xie An's affairs almost never avoided him.Chen Xing didn't want to hear it, but he vaguely felt that the Han people who took the lead to surrender looked familiar, so he followed the officials into the hall behind the screen.
"It's been a long time." Xie Xuan said with a smile, obviously he was an old acquaintance with the officer who persuaded him to surrender.
When Chen Xing came to the screen, there were Xie An and Wang Xizhi standing there, and the three of them nodded in salute.Chen Xing looked out from the gap of the screen and saw the profile of that person, but couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
"Your Majesty is well aware of the military strength of the Beifu." The middle-aged civil servant stroked his beard and said, "Murong Chui has led the army to Feixi..."
When Chen Xing heard the voice, combined with his appearance, he immediately remembered: Governor of Liangzhou, Zhu Xu!
Chen Xing immediately gestured to show that he knew him, Xie An nodded, exchanged glances with Wang Xizhi, Chen Xing pointed to the outside, then pointed to himself, mouthing, meaning that he wanted to chat with him.
"...In a few days, the city will be attacked." Zhu Xu said lightly, "Xie Xuan, this is the last chance I have won for my homeland. His Majesty the Heavenly King does not want to cause unnecessary casualties. To bring it, it’s called ‘Li before the soldier’, he said, you will naturally understand.”
Xie Xuan said with a casual smile: "After Xiangyang City was broken, I don't know if he took care of the people?"
Zhu Xu could only pretend that he didn't understand Xie Xuan's cynicism towards him. In fact, nearly three years ago, after Murong Chui captured Xiangyang, not only did he not abide by the agreement with his surrendered general Zhu Xu, but instead he plundered and killed everywhere in the city.
"That's because General Murong wanted revenge," Zhu Xu said, "If it hadn't been an accident that ruined half of his face, I was sure I could save the people in the city."
Chen Xing thought that it was my fault, because I set fire to Murong Chui's face, causing him to massacre the city in a rage, so it makes sense.
Xie Anyun said lightly: "If you want to come, just come. Talking about it is useless."
Zhu Xu said: "Tomorrow Shou County will be caught in the flames of war. Xie Xuan, with all due respect, your 8 people are really beyond your control."
Xie Xuan is also unforgiving. It seems to be the tradition of the Xie family to sneer at the enemy. From Xie An to Chen Xing, this group of literati never saves the slightest bit of face for others. Has the madness been cured?"
Zhu Xu looked at Xie Xuan, but did not speak, Xie Xuan lowered his voice and said: "Master Zhu, be careful that he is in a bad mood, and stabbed him with a sword. Come, see off!"
Seeing that persuading him to surrender was fruitless, Zhu Xu knew that this battle must be fought. The Han people have been stubborn since ancient times. When he was defending Xiangyang, he himself did not surrender. In the end, he was caught and had no choice but to die.Sending him here is the so-called "polite first and soldiers later", but Fu Jian still remembers his great enemy who was ridiculed and threatened by Xie An on Yishui.
"Then I'll take my leave." Zhu Xu said politely, "I'll see you on the battlefield tomorrow."
Xie Xuan just sat and didn't get up to see off the guests. Zhu Xu left behind a letter of persuasion and said, "Don't you want to read it?"
Xie Xuan said: "It's not the preface to the Lanting collection. Manzi's handwriting is very beautiful. If you are disappointed, go quickly."
Zhu Xu: "..."
Zhu Xu left the Shou County Prefect's Mansion alone. As soon as he left, Xie Xuan got up immediately and went to a meeting with Xie An, Wang Xizhi and others.Zhu Xu came out through the courtyard and was about to leave Shou County on horseback when a voice behind him stopped him.
"Lord Zhu," Chen Xing said with a smile, "It's been a long time."
Zhu Xu turned his head in doubt. At dusk, he looked for a long time before he recognized Chen Xing, and said in surprise, "It's you?!"
Chen Xing bowed to Zhu Xu, and Zhu Xu returned the salute. When the two met three years later, they recalled how it was like a lifetime ago, and immediately sighed.After Zhu Xu surrendered to the Qin court, he was first imprisoned for a period of time, and was only activated as an official a year ago.During the period, I heard many rumors about Chen Xing's activities in Shenzhou and his strange powers. At first, I thought it was just a fabricated story. It was not until after the Yishui battle that I was convinced that Chen Xing hadn't lied to him.
Chen Xing observed Zhu Xu's expression, and suddenly his heart moved, and he held hands with him, injecting the heart lamp into his body, confirming that Wang Ziye did not possess him, and then he was relieved.
Wang Ziye's "resurrecting the soul from a dead body" spell made him suspicious.
But when the heart lamp was circulating, Chen Xing noticed that there were seeds of the heart lamp in Zhu Xu's heart veins?
Did he inadvertently plant it on the high platform of the City Lord's Mansion shortly after he and Xiang Shu first met that day?
"It's been three years since we last met." Zhu Xu sighed, "I heard that you have done a lot of things. I still remember your great wish at that time, which was to restore the world and exorcise demons. Have you accomplished it now?"
"No." Chen Xing also felt a little emotional, "The future is still full of fog."
Zhu Xu said: "It is rumored throughout the court that Wang Ziye is a monster who can resurrect dead bodies, and he has controlled His Majesty. In the end, you eliminated him in Yique, and the Ba army was defeated by itself. The Shenzhou you mentioned three years ago The crisis has also been lifted."
Chen Xing smiled wryly and said: "It's far away. One thing was solved, and another one came. Besides, Fu Jian invaded the south, and I don't know how many people will die... I'm afraid that Wang Ziye will...resurrect from the ashes. The resentment between heaven and earth is so good." Get rid of it, the resentment in people's hearts is hard to get rid of."
Zhu Xu thought for a while and replied: "What else can I do for you? To tell you the truth, little brother, since I came to Qin, I have been accused by thousands of people and spurned by thousands of people, and I have long since ignored it." .”
Chen Xing frowned slightly, and asked, "How is Fu Jian's situation?"
This was the real purpose of his approach to Zhu Xu. Zhu Xu said: "After returning from Yishui, he is much more normal than before. But Nan Zheng's determination is stronger."
"Has Wang Ziye never appeared again?" Chen Xing asked suspiciously, "Where is Princess Qinghe? And what about other people's movements?"
Zhu Xu briefly talked about the situation in the DPRK. Given his status, he was naturally excluded, unable to get close to the center of power, and only knew very little about it.But what is certain is that after Fu Jian went back, he didn't mention anything, and he didn't punish the Murong family members. He seemed to have returned to normal, but he resolutely pushed for the Southern Expedition, recruiting an army of 110 million people, and came aggressively.
"More than 100 million?!" Chen Xing said in disbelief.
Zhu Xu replied: "There are so many people crowded in Feixi, it's hard to even turn around."
Chen Xing was thinking about how much resentment would be generated when these 110 million people fought, but Zhu Xu was thinking about another thing. Since ancient times, even Zhuge Liang and his like have not dared to bring so many soldiers. "The famous general, only Han Xin.So many people have to supply and command, which is a huge problem in itself.
"Where's your protector?" Zhu Xu said, "When I was in prison, I don't know if it was the Great Chanyu of the North. Please apologize to him for me."
Chen Xing smiled and said, "He's out on a business trip, so he won't care about it."
Zhu Xu said: "But he slaughtered our Han people and imprisoned him. I have no regrets. It's just that he followed you later and saved innocent people, but he paid the crime and made meritorious service."
Chen Xing said: "That's because everyone wronged him, he didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"Oh?" Zhu Xu said.
The sky was dark, Chen Xing didn't want to delay Zhu Xu for too long, and it would be too complicated to explain, so he smiled and said, "In this troubled world, he is a well-deserved hero."
Zhu Xu then nodded and said, "It's a mistake to blame him... Forget it, I'm leaving too..."
When saying goodbye, one person stood at the door and stopped.Chen Xing just raised his eyes and saw the man.
Exactly what is stated!
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Chen Xing suddenly lost control and ran towards him quickly.I saw that Xiang Shu was dressed in travel and dust, with a cowhide belt buckle around his shoulders fastened to his martial robe, a leather bag, which seemed to contain a few magic weapons, he was carrying a mountain and a longbow on his back, and he wore a leather bag on his hand. His wrist guards and a pair of hunting boots were already covered with mud. His face was a little thinner, but he was still handsome. His beard seemed to have been shaved in a hurry.
"You're back!" Chen Xing smiled, and then hugged Xiang Shu tightly.
Xiang Shu raised his hand, patted Chen Xing's head, then glanced at Zhu Xu, looked at him suspiciously, and nodded.
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "It's you, I didn't recognize you."
When Xiang Shu was arrested and returned to Xiangyang, he only glanced at Zhu Xu briefly, but he still remembered, and said in a deep voice, "Zhu Xu?"
Zhu Xu nodded, and said casually, "I didn't expect you two to be strangers, but now you have such a good relationship. In the troubled times, there is no security, just live well."
Xiang Shu signaled that Chen Xing's guests were still there, so they saw off the guests first, so they sent Zhu Xu outside the mansion together. Among the maple leaves in the sky, Zhu Xu got on his horse, nodded at them, and left Shou County.
As soon as the person left, Chen Xing took Xiang Shu's hand and began to ask questions.
"Where have you been in the past three months?" Chen Xing asked suspiciously, "Why did you lose weight? Have you found where they are?"
"I found it." Xiang Shu replied, "But it takes a lot of work to go in and save people. I'll talk to you when I have time. I want to see Xie An."
"My lord... my lord..." Wang Ziye's soul wailed, slowly crawling towards the huge heart on the ground.
Princess Qinghe, Feng Qianjun, Xiao Shan, a majestic general with a pre-Qin helmet covering his face, Wang Meng and Sima Wei with his arms broken, and a huge rotten wolf surround Wang Ziye, the remaining two souls of Wang Ziye , Struggling endlessly on the ground, climbed up to the altar, and stretched out a hand towards the heart.
"You... trash," said Chi You's voice, "You boasted that you had done everything possible, but you ended up like this in the end."
A little demon blood dripped from the heart, and fell into Wang Ziye's soul. Wang Ziye let out a strange howl, and the phantom of the soul showed ripples, slowly dispersed, and reunited again, showing a hazy figure.
"I need...more...resentment." Wang Ziye said slowly, "The power of cultivating for thousands of years has been burned away by the heart lamp..."
"Unbelievably stupid!" Chi You shouted in a trembling voice.
Wang Ziye shuddered suddenly, and knelt down on the ground with the phantom of his soul.
"Have you found your formation?" Chi You asked coldly.
Wang Ziye replied: "Yes. In Longmen Mountain, the remains of the ancient tidal array were indeed found."
Chi You: "Let's set up the formation, use the spiritual energy of the sea pearl to activate the seven magic weapons, and when Fu Jian starts the battle, he will reshape the body for Gu."
Wang Ziye said: "But Dinghaizhu..."
Chi You replied: "I will come."
Wang Ziye: "All magic weapons..."

Suddenly he heard a noise outside, thought it was Xiang Shu who came back, but when he went out to see, it was a Han, wearing a Qin official uniform, who came into the Shou County Taishou's mansion, holding a scroll of documents.
Fu Jian's envoy?
All the people headed by Xie An avoided seeing them, lest the envoys know that the senior officials of the Jin Dynasty were here, and Xie Xuan would come forward to receive them.
"Who are those people?" Chen Xing asked in a low voice.
"To persuade you to surrender." A young official said to Chen Xing, "Master Xie and the others are hiding behind the screen. If Master Chen wants to hear something, please follow me, and I will take you there."
After all, at the time of the New Year's Eve, Chen Xing's name as an exorcist was already well-known in Jiangnan, and Xie An's affairs almost never avoided him.Chen Xing didn't want to hear it, but he vaguely felt that the Han people who took the lead to surrender looked familiar, so he followed the officials into the hall behind the screen.
"It's been a long time." Xie Xuan said with a smile, obviously he was an old acquaintance with the officer who persuaded him to surrender.
When Chen Xing came to the screen, there were Xie An and Wang Xizhi standing there, and the three of them nodded in salute.Chen Xing looked out from the gap of the screen and saw the profile of that person, but couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
"Your Majesty is well aware of the military strength of the Beifu." The middle-aged civil servant stroked his beard and said, "Murong Chui has led the army to Feixi..."
When Chen Xing heard the voice, combined with his appearance, he immediately remembered: Governor of Liangzhou, Zhu Xu!
Chen Xing immediately gestured to show that he knew him, Xie An nodded, exchanged glances with Wang Xizhi, Chen Xing pointed to the outside, then pointed to himself, mouthing, meaning that he wanted to chat with him.
"...In a few days, the city will be attacked." Zhu Xu said lightly, "Xie Xuan, this is the last chance I have won for my homeland. His Majesty the Heavenly King does not want to cause unnecessary casualties. To bring it, it’s called ‘Li before the soldier’, he said, you will naturally understand.”
Xie Xuan said with a casual smile: "After Xiangyang City was broken, I don't know if he took care of the people?"
Zhu Xu could only pretend that he didn't understand Xie Xuan's cynicism towards him. In fact, nearly three years ago, after Murong Chui captured Xiangyang, not only did he not abide by the agreement with his surrendered general Zhu Xu, but instead he plundered and killed everywhere in the city.
"That's because General Murong wanted revenge," Zhu Xu said, "If it hadn't been an accident that ruined half of his face, I was sure I could save the people in the city."
Chen Xing thought that it was my fault, because I set fire to Murong Chui's face, causing him to massacre the city in a rage, so it makes sense.
Xie Anyun said lightly: "If you want to come, just come. Talking about it is useless."
Zhu Xu said: "Tomorrow Shou County will be caught in the flames of war. Xie Xuan, with all due respect, your 8 people are really beyond your control."
Xie Xuan is also unforgiving. It seems to be the tradition of the Xie family to sneer at the enemy. From Xie An to Chen Xing, this group of literati never saves the slightest bit of face for others. Has the madness been cured?"
Zhu Xu looked at Xie Xuan, but did not speak, Xie Xuan lowered his voice and said: "Master Zhu, be careful that he is in a bad mood, and stabbed him with a sword. Come, see off!"
Seeing that persuading him to surrender was fruitless, Zhu Xu knew that this battle must be fought. The Han people have been stubborn since ancient times. When he was defending Xiangyang, he himself did not surrender. In the end, he was caught and had no choice but to die.Sending him here is the so-called "polite first and soldiers later", but Fu Jian still remembers his great enemy who was ridiculed and threatened by Xie An on Yishui.
"Then I'll take my leave." Zhu Xu said politely, "I'll see you on the battlefield tomorrow."
Xie Xuan just sat and didn't get up to see off the guests. Zhu Xu left behind a letter of persuasion and said, "Don't you want to read it?"
Xie Xuan said: "It's not the preface to the Lanting collection. Manzi's handwriting is very beautiful. If you are disappointed, go quickly."
Zhu Xu: "..."
Zhu Xu left the Shou County Prefect's Mansion alone. As soon as he left, Xie Xuan got up immediately and went to a meeting with Xie An, Wang Xizhi and others.Zhu Xu came out through the courtyard and was about to leave Shou County on horseback when a voice behind him stopped him.
"Lord Zhu," Chen Xing said with a smile, "It's been a long time."
Zhu Xu turned his head in doubt. At dusk, he looked for a long time before he recognized Chen Xing, and said in surprise, "It's you?!"
Chen Xing bowed to Zhu Xu, and Zhu Xu returned the salute. When the two met three years later, they recalled how it was like a lifetime ago, and immediately sighed.After Zhu Xu surrendered to the Qin court, he was first imprisoned for a period of time, and was only activated as an official a year ago.During the period, I heard many rumors about Chen Xing's activities in Shenzhou and his strange powers. At first, I thought it was just a fabricated story. It was not until after the Yishui battle that I was convinced that Chen Xing hadn't lied to him.
Chen Xing observed Zhu Xu's expression, and suddenly his heart moved, and he held hands with him, injecting the heart lamp into his body, confirming that Wang Ziye did not possess him, and then he was relieved.
Wang Ziye's "resurrecting the soul from a dead body" spell made him suspicious.
But when the heart lamp was circulating, Chen Xing noticed that there were seeds of the heart lamp in Zhu Xu's heart veins?
Did he inadvertently plant it on the high platform of the City Lord's Mansion shortly after he and Xiang Shu first met that day?
"It's been three years since we last met." Zhu Xu sighed, "I heard that you have done a lot of things. I still remember your great wish at that time, which was to restore the world and exorcise demons. Have you accomplished it now?"
"No." Chen Xing also felt a little emotional, "The future is still full of fog."
Zhu Xu said: "It is rumored throughout the court that Wang Ziye is a monster who can resurrect dead bodies, and he has controlled His Majesty. In the end, you eliminated him in Yique, and the Ba army was defeated by itself. The Shenzhou you mentioned three years ago The crisis has also been lifted."
Chen Xing smiled wryly and said: "It's far away. One thing was solved, and another one came. Besides, Fu Jian invaded the south, and I don't know how many people will die... I'm afraid that Wang Ziye will...resurrect from the ashes. The resentment between heaven and earth is so good." Get rid of it, the resentment in people's hearts is hard to get rid of."
Zhu Xu thought for a while and replied: "What else can I do for you? To tell you the truth, little brother, since I came to Qin, I have been accused by thousands of people and spurned by thousands of people, and I have long since ignored it." .”
Chen Xing frowned slightly, and asked, "How is Fu Jian's situation?"
This was the real purpose of his approach to Zhu Xu. Zhu Xu said: "After returning from Yishui, he is much more normal than before. But Nan Zheng's determination is stronger."
"Has Wang Ziye never appeared again?" Chen Xing asked suspiciously, "Where is Princess Qinghe? And what about other people's movements?"
Zhu Xu briefly talked about the situation in the DPRK. Given his status, he was naturally excluded, unable to get close to the center of power, and only knew very little about it.But what is certain is that after Fu Jian went back, he didn't mention anything, and he didn't punish the Murong family members. He seemed to have returned to normal, but he resolutely pushed for the Southern Expedition, recruiting an army of 110 million people, and came aggressively.
"More than 100 million?!" Chen Xing said in disbelief.
Zhu Xu replied: "There are so many people crowded in Feixi, it's hard to even turn around."
Chen Xing was thinking about how much resentment would be generated when these 110 million people fought, but Zhu Xu was thinking about another thing. Since ancient times, even Zhuge Liang and his like have not dared to bring so many soldiers. "The famous general, only Han Xin.So many people have to supply and command, which is a huge problem in itself.
"Where's your protector?" Zhu Xu said, "When I was in prison, I don't know if it was the Great Chanyu of the North. Please apologize to him for me."
Chen Xing smiled and said, "He's out on a business trip, so he won't care about it."
Zhu Xu said: "But he slaughtered our Han people and imprisoned him. I have no regrets. It's just that he followed you later and saved innocent people, but he paid the crime and made meritorious service."
Chen Xing said: "That's because everyone wronged him, he didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"Oh?" Zhu Xu said.
The sky was dark, Chen Xing didn't want to delay Zhu Xu for too long, and it would be too complicated to explain, so he smiled and said, "In this troubled world, he is a well-deserved hero."
Zhu Xu then nodded and said, "It's a mistake to blame him... Forget it, I'm leaving too..."
When saying goodbye, one person stood at the door and stopped.Chen Xing just raised his eyes and saw the man.
Exactly what is stated!
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Chen Xing suddenly lost control and ran towards him quickly.I saw that Xiang Shu was dressed in travel and dust, with a cowhide belt buckle around his shoulders fastened to his martial robe, a leather bag, which seemed to contain a few magic weapons, he was carrying a mountain and a longbow on his back, and he wore a leather bag on his hand. His wrist guards and a pair of hunting boots were already covered with mud. His face was a little thinner, but he was still handsome. His beard seemed to have been shaved in a hurry.
"You're back!" Chen Xing smiled, and then hugged Xiang Shu tightly.
Xiang Shu raised his hand, patted Chen Xing's head, then glanced at Zhu Xu, looked at him suspiciously, and nodded.
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "It's you, I didn't recognize you."
When Xiang Shu was arrested and returned to Xiangyang, he only glanced at Zhu Xu briefly, but he still remembered, and said in a deep voice, "Zhu Xu?"
Zhu Xu nodded, and said casually, "I didn't expect you two to be strangers, but now you have such a good relationship. In the troubled times, there is no security, just live well."
Xiang Shu signaled that Chen Xing's guests were still there, so they saw off the guests first, so they sent Zhu Xu outside the mansion together. Among the maple leaves in the sky, Zhu Xu got on his horse, nodded at them, and left Shou County.
As soon as the person left, Chen Xing took Xiang Shu's hand and began to ask questions.
"Where have you been in the past three months?" Chen Xing asked suspiciously, "Why did you lose weight? Have you found where they are?"
"I found it." Xiang Shu replied, "But it takes a lot of work to go in and save people. I'll talk to you when I have time. I want to see Xie An."
