Chapter 13

"Little general, the general left something behind when he died, do you want to go get it with the little old man?" The little old man watched Chu Wushang and Wuyi stare at each other for a long time, but no one seemed to speak, and spoke again road.

"Okay." Chu Wushang stood up, the corners of Wuyi's lips moved, he seemed to want to say something, but he just stood there without saying anything.Chu Wushang silently walked past him, followed the little old man and turned to the back of the main hall.

A black long sword was placed in front of Chu Wushang, "This is the general's property, return it now, I hope the little general can avenge the general one day." The old man said, kneeling on the ground with a plop, tears streaming down his face.

Qiu Wushang looked at the sword silently. Indeed, the revenge of killing his father was irreconcilable. He should have hated and angry, but at this moment his heart was peaceful.Chu Wushang has never met his father, and he even has very little impression of his mother. All his childhood memories are of the Prime Minister You who smiled like a spring breeze. , will first hug Wu Wushang and ask if he is happy.

Everyone in the capital knows that Prime Minister You cares about the old love and regards the son of the deceased as his own, and keeps it in the mansion. The cost of food and clothing is not lower than that of having no clothes. As long as Chu Wushang takes a second look at any good things, they will be ready. will come to him.If he and Wuyi fell ill together, the prime minister would accompany Wuyi with his clothes untied at night, and it would be Chu Wushang.

For more than ten years, no matter whether Chu Wushang is studying with Wuyi, returning to the prime minister's mansion, or insisting on joining the army, Prime Minister You has tried his best to satisfy him.Even in middle age, that person still has an extraordinary bearing, but he is close to the common people, and he is a clean and honest official, all of which are in Su Wushang's eyes.This vicious plan in front of him was really made by that person?

Chu Wushang sat in the room for a long time, when he looked up, the little old man left at some point.Chu Wushang held the sword and walked out slowly, how should he face Wuyi?This question made him walk very slowly, but when he reached the front yard, the naked figure had long since disappeared.

"Little general, that friend of yours is going back first." The little old man bowed when he saw Chu Wushang come out.

gone back?Chu Wushang was startled, and couldn't help but smile wryly, is it true that he also can't face himself? "If that's the case, I'll go back too." He looked at the stars in the sky, then looked back at the main hall, suddenly turned back to face the tablet in the main hall, knelt down straight in the courtyard, and buckled his head three times in a row.

"Little general..." The little old man sighed.

"You are my father's old subordinate, I should call you uncle." Chu Wushang stood up, cupped his fists and saluted, "Uncle, farewell Wushang." A strange sound came from the room on the left, like something screaming, but It was very vague, and Chu Wushang was taken aback for a moment.

The little old man smiled and said: "This is a small animal in the mountains here. It often barks at night. It's getting late. Would you like to stay overnight before leaving?"

Chu Wushang shook his head, since Wuyi has gone down the mountain, it's better not to keep them waiting.He turned and left, walking all the way down the mountain.The little old man saw him go, so he slowly closed the mountain door, he turned around and pushed open the door of the room on the right, walked in, and then dragged out a person from the innermost box, the old man was gloomy He sneered: "As soon as I saw you, I knew you were Prime Minister You's son. The way you stood with the little general was exactly the same as when they were young."

Wuyi's hands and feet were tied behind his back, his mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth, his brows were tightly furrowed, the old man came back not long after Wushang went to the back, Wuyi wanted to ask more questions, but he saw the old man directly facing Walking over by himself, the smile on his face became extremely scary, Wuyi instinctively felt bad, wanted to open his mouth to call out Wushang, but was directly knocked out by the old man, when he woke up, he just heard a vague voice outside, I heard the old man tell Chu Wushang that he had to walk first.He tried to speak out, but the old man directly covered him.

"It's really like it." The old man looked at Wuyi and smiled coldly, "Father pays off, you are so similar to Prime Minister You, if you want to use your blood to pay homage to my brothers, they will be happy." His voice was full of hatred , Wuyi didn't know well, and struggled a few times, the rope behind him was solid.The old man picked up his collar and dragged him straight to the room full of rankings regardless of his care. His waist and knees without clothes rubbed all the way on the ground, and he was dragged into the main hall gate and thrown on the ground.

The old man looked at Wuyi lying on the ground, and suddenly frowned. He stepped forward and untied the rope tied around Wuyi's feet, picked up his shoulders and kicked him hard on his knee, "Kneel down!" Wuyi I only felt a sharp pain in my knees, and knelt on the ground with a muffled grunt. The old man took the rag from his mouth and smiled coldly: "Does it hurt? Let me tell you, when my brothers died one by one in front of me, I'm in great pain too!" He punched Wu Yi in the face, seeing the pained expression on the young man's face, he laughed wildly. "It's almost 20 years, I can take revenge, General, I can take revenge for you! Hahahahahahahaha!"

Laughter pierced the night sky, and Wuyi felt a sharp pain in his knees, "You... killed me, is that considered revenge?" He broke out in cold sweat from the pain, but still gritted his teeth and said, "It's only right and proper to pay the debt of the father and the son." However, you can only pay off your father's debt, and my father is in the court, so there is no way for you to kill him yourself to take revenge."

The little old man glared angrily, and suddenly raised his foot and kicked Wuyi hard on the chest, Wuyi coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, "The little general will kill him, definitely, and I just need to kill you! "

Wuyi coughed loudly, trembling with pain, but he laughed, "No injury, love and righteousness! He was raised by my father since he was a child, and it is impossible to let him go easily. If you kill me, you will only let him feel more guilty."

The little old man was stunned when he heard the words, he lowered his head to look at Wuyi, a boy who was studying, still sneered in the face of life and death reminded him of Prime Minister You, or at that time he was not Prime Minister You, but just a Some people say that he is a gentleman like jade, some people say that he is gentle and elegant, but that appearance directly overlaps with Wuyi's current appearance, which makes him suddenly have an illusion that this is the person who killed the general and also killed the general. all brethren.

He picked up Wuyi's collar and said fiercely: "No one will know that you are here, and the little general will not know that you died here! Hahahahaha." He suddenly grabbed Wuyi's head and threw it to the ground Bumped away, "Apologize to the general, apologize to them! It was you who harmed them, it was you!" Wuyi's head was hit to the ground one after another, with blood dripping down his eyes, Wuyi's vision was blurred, and he was not even conscious. Clear.

Unexpectedly... would die like this... This old man is already crazy, but what he said is right, when Chu Wushang arrived at the foot of the mountain and found that he didn't go back and come here again, this lunatic has time to deal with his body. Lie again and say that you have never seen it.At that time, even if Chu Wushang searched all over the world, it would be impossible to find any trace of himself.My father...probably couldn't calculate such a cause and effect...but he was unharmed, and with this bloody enmity on his back, how would he survive in the future?If he went to revenge on his father, then...would his father kill him too?Wuyi was thinking wildly, he vaguely felt that he was thrown on the ground, there was a cold knife light, and then there were several loud noises.

Someone hugged him and eagerly called his name, and after that, everything fell into darkness.

"Fengxiu asked you to wear Wuyi to protect him. It's good for you to protect him like this!" When consciousness recovered, Fuying's cursing voice came to his ears, Wuyi slowly opened his eyes, and saw Chu Wushang sat on a chair not far from him, holding his head and motionless, while Fu Ying stood beside the table as if filtering medicine.This room looks like an inn?

The door was pushed open with a creak, and Fengxiu's voice came, "The doctor said, Wuyi's injury is not serious, most of it is a flesh injury. The old man's martial arts is actually limited. Although Wuyi vomits blood, the internal injury is not serious. , it’s just that the injury on his head has to wait until he wakes up.”

"Did you say when you'll wake up?" Fuying asked.

"The doctor said that if the injury on the head didn't affect the brain, he should wake up in a while." The voice approached from far away, and Fengxiu looked over worriedly, "He is so smart, so he won't be fooled." A sentence followed He arrived at the bedside, opened his eyes and stared at Shang Wuyi, "Huh? Didn't you wake up?"

Chu Wushang jumped up from the side and jumped to the bed, "Wuyi..."

Wuyi looked into those dark eyes full of guilt, and recalled the deep blood feud between the two of them, he couldn't help but sighed, "Why... am I here?" Head, chest, waist, legs, and knees all hurt, He wanted to move, but couldn't even raise his hand.

"Fengxiu and I saw that you didn't come back after dark, so we went up the mountain to look for you. When we got there, we saw Chu Wushang who came down. We found out that something was wrong. When this guy took us back to find you, That old man is ready to dig out your heart." Fuying patted Chu Wushang's shoulder and explained to Wuyi.

"Then...how about this person..." Wuyi asked in a daze.

Fu Ying rolled her eyes and looked at the sky, "That... let me accidentally... kill me..." He said without guilt.That day when he returned to that courtyard with Fengxiu and Chu Wushang, he kicked open the door and saw the old man holding a dagger to stab Wuyi's heart, Fu Ying pulled out the sword from Fengxiu in a hurry and threw it out Well, the old man never expected that someone would come back, he was pierced through forcibly, and died on the spot.Several people took the unconscious Wuyi down the mountain quickly, and took Wuyi into the nearest city at high speed.

"So what exactly are you asking about? Why did you two separate and..." Fu Ying frowned, "This guy Chu Wushang hasn't said a word since yesterday."

Wuyi glanced at Wu Wushang, sighed, and turned his head to look at Fuying, "Fuying, if I say that the plague that killed your whole family and clan members back then was caused by my father's arrangement of poisoning, How about you?"

Fuying was taken aback for a moment, Shu Wushang lowered his head, Fengxiu was also stunned for a moment, "Your father? You mean... Prime Minister You?"

"That's right." Wuyi forced himself to sit up and lean on the bed, and told the matter without any concealment. After he finished speaking, the room was silent.

"Is that so...they died because of this..." Fuying lowered her head blankly and spoke for a long time.

"This is the truth. I won't hide it from you. My father did everything. If you want to take revenge and kill me, I will do whatever I want." Wuyi said lightly.

"Why would I kill you." Fu Ying shook her head, "These are just the old man's one-sided words, even if they are true, you have said it, these are what your father did, what has it to do with you?" Although his expression was a little sad , but more lonely, he looked down at Chu Wushang's clenched fists after hearing his words, and shook his head helplessly, "You guys... you better calm down, this is all from one person, whether it's true or not We know, maybe it’s not the truth, maybe it’s not.” He turned and went out while speaking.

"I'll go take a look." Fengxiu greeted, and followed Fuying out of the room.There were no clothes and no injuries left, and the air fell into a dead silence.

Wuyi felt tired, he closed his eyes, and after a long time, he heard Shu Wushang say softly, "I'm sorry..." Wuyi opened his eyes to look at Shu Wushang, and he reached out to touch the hand that Shu Wushang was holding tightly. Fist, sorry for what?I'm sorry we've known each other since we were young, but Fu Ying, an outsider, hasn't clearly grasped the grievances and enmities in front of me?Or are you sorry for causing Wuyi to be injured by a momentary negligence?Or... In the future, there will be a day when Chu Wushang will avenge his father after all, and the two will oppose each other, and friends will turn against each other?I'm sorry, what exactly is it?

Wuyi couldn't figure it out, and Shu Wushang didn't explain, he just held Wuyi's hand back, and was speechless again.

Fuying walked out of the room, followed by Fengxiu.The courtyard of the inn is not big, but when Fuying looked up, she could still see a patch of sky, "It's not worth it, is it?" Fuying raised her head to see the birds flying by, and asked the people behind her softly.

"Innocent people always die when superiors fight for power." Feng Xiu looked at Fuying's back and said.

"Because their lives are as cheap as ants." Fu Ying sighed, "Because they are cheap, they can only be slaughtered."
