Luo Wen's face became distorted because of pain. His eyes stared at Shi Yuan, as if he was waiting for the beginning of the story. He vaguely felt that the relationship between the story and himself would not be a good aspect. Although Shi Yuan said nothing, he could see something from his eyes.
After Shiyuan touched him a few times, his pain eased a little, otherwise he couldn't concentrate on what Shiyuan said.
"A long time ago."
Shi Yuan smiled and said: "There was a man whose hometown was in the northwest of the great Sui Dynasty. He was poor, but he was eager to learn since childhood. He met a wandering Jianghu guest who liked his qualifications, so he took him away from his home. He separated from his family for seven or eight years, studied hard and practiced hard. By the age of 17 or 18, his accomplishments were good. Because his family was very poor, he admired those CHILDES with rich clothes and food most. So he vowed to do it in the future What kind of person. "
"It happened that the army selected the children of a good family to join the army and recruit more soldiers. The young man said goodbye to his master and went back to his hometown to join the army. At first, he was not reused, but lived in a muddle. Until two years later, the imperial court used troops abroad and his army was pulled out, he knew his opportunity was coming."
"But how can he stand out as an insignificant soldier?"
Shi Yuan got up and made himself a pot of tea.
"After thinking hard for a long time, he finally came up with a way. He knew that one day the general was going to patrol the camp, so he deliberately clashed with a team and annoyed the team, so the team was beating him with a whip. He didn't fight back. When the general arrived, he suddenly jumped up, grabbed the whip and knocked the team down with a fist. The team was very angry and ordered him to fight His men caught him, and he beat more than a dozen soldiers to the ground by dividing five into two. The general happened to see him. "
"Of course, it's not just a coincidence, but he calculated it. He knew that the general loved talent, so he deliberately made trouble to show his ability. Sure enough, the general saw that he had knocked over more than a dozen people alone, and his eyes immediately brightened. He called him closer and asked him. He knew that he had collided with the company, so he asked his own soldiers to beat him with the ten army staff. But the ten army staff was not hurt in vain, and he was transferred by the general In the personal team. "
"When the foreign war began, he rushed around the general and blocked the knife from the enemy for countless times. The general led the army to break through the enemy and win the whole victory for the first time. However, he suffered more than a dozen injuries in order to protect the general."
"The general was grateful for his bravery and loyalty, so he promoted him to the rank of personal soldier. He personally applied medicine for him and sent someone to his house to give him one hundred liang of silver to support his family. The war lasted for several months, and the imperial army won a series of battles and soon occupied half of the enemy's territory. Because he made a lot of contributions, the general paid more and more attention to him."
He paused and took a sip of tea.
Luo Wen was so fascinated that he forgot his pain: "what happened later?"
"Later, after the end of the foreign war, the general returned with his army in triumph. On the merit list reported to the court, the young man's name ranked first. Because of the general's strong recommendation, the young man was promoted. He also thanked the general and was as loyal as his son. The general also treated him as a family."
"After several years, he has become the right-hand man of the general. The general is old and intends to cultivate him to take over his position. But at this time, officials in the imperial court accuse the general. The reason why he did not break the capital of the Empire in the war a few years ago is that he secretly received a generous gift from the emperor of the enemy country. The general was very happy to know this Get angry and let the young man find out who tipped off. "
"The young man didn't find out for a long time, but the imperial envoy sent by the emperor came instead. The general did receive heavy gifts from the enemy country, so he was dismissed and put in prison. But the young man was not implicated. Until the general was taken to the execution ground and cut off his head, he didn't know that the informant was secretly arranged by the young man."
"The young man didn't reveal himself. From beginning to end, the imperial court didn't know that he sent someone to report the general. He asked the imperial court to resign because the general was dead and he didn't want to stay in the barracks. But the emperor was greatly moved by his attitude, promoted him to the military post, and called him to the imperial palace for great praise."
Shi Yuan paused, looked at Luo Wen and said: "Before that, the young man met his wife. His wife was also from a poor family, but she was very beautiful. When he first saw her, he couldn't help falling in love with the woman. So he went to the door to ask for marriage in person, and the woman's parents were just honest people. The young man was naturally happy to propose marriage, so soon they became husband and wife."
"Then... They had a child."
"Maybe it's retribution."
Shi Yuan sipped his tea and said: "Later, because the young man offended a powerful man, the powerful man pressed him, so that his name did not appear in front of the emperor for more than ten years. Although the emperor appreciated the young man, he had to do too many things every day. If no one reminded him, he would not remember the young man. It was not until the emperor was preparing for the second war that he suddenly remembered a brave young man Yes. "
"So he asked where the young man was now. Just when the emperor was ready to reuse the man who was no longer young, something big happened to the man's family. His son had grown up and raped a young woman on the way to the capital to take an important exam... The son knew that his father was a very strict man. He was afraid that his father would know about his affairs, so he made a mistake Wrong again, sneak into the house with people and kill the 32 members of the woman's family... "
"Shut up!"
When Shi Yuan said this, Luo Wen's face immediately became ugly: "don't talk nonsense! You don't know anything at all!"
"How could I not know?"
Shi Yuan said with a smile, "this man's master has something to do with me... He took him away from his hometown to a place called the prairie."
"Impossible!"
Luo Wenmeng sat up from the bed, his face twisted.
"What is absolutely impossible in this world?"
Shi Yuan said, "just as I'm sitting with you now, it's impossible for you Sui people. Isn't it?"
……
……
The competition in Nancheng has begun, and the sound of war drums can be heard faintly in the city. But this room in the brothel was unusually quiet. Shi Yuan stopped talking and just looked at Luo Wen calmly. Luo Wen was like a wild wolf about to burst out, staring at the old monk in front of him.
"Although he is indifferent to me, I don't allow you to slander him!"
"Slander?"
Shiyuan couldn't help laughing: "you're too simple. Who is a successful person in the world? There's no need for others to slander. Just finding out the truth is enough to ruin his reputation. This story has just begun here. Do you think it's over? Do you think you know what happened later?"
"You... Stop talking!"
Rowan growled in a low voice.
"Do you know that the person you are defending now is training another young man? This young man is very likely to take everything that should belong to you from you in the future. I won't lie because it's not necessary..."
"Why?!"
Luo Wen was stunned and asked.
"If you want to know why, just listen to me finish the story."
Shi Yuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Luo Wen: "in fact, you want to finish listening, don't you?"
Rowan's body trembled fiercely, and the ferocity on his face gradually receded, replaced by a kind of pain and confusion. He subconsciously took the cup of tea, but his hand seemed to have no strength. The cup seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. He needed both hands to hold it.
"You think you know about your brother, but you know nothing. You think you know your father as well. Even your mother, you know nothing about her."
"What do you mean?"
Rowan asked hoarsely.
"Luo Yao had to kill your brother in order to protect your mother. In his heart, his family is not as important as your mother. But your brother is his only son after all. How can he feel no pain? He killed your brother and then transported the body home in a precious cold iron coffin. The emperor felt your father's loyalty and did not blame him The official enters the rank. "
"Your mother spent the next few years guarding the cold iron coffin and forbidding anyone to bury your brother."
"A few years later..."
Shi Yuan said faintly: "When your father led the army to destroy the merchants, he captured many he wizards. These wizards had very mysterious witchcraft, and your father was immediately attracted. Then he began to have an idea in his mind to make up for his debt to his mother. Unexpectedly, he learned that he wizards had a way to turn corpses into warriors, so he was overjoyed and immediately arrested several The wizard went back and planned to turn your brother's body into something like that. At least it looked like it was alive. "
"But wizards can make zombies, but they can't really revive a person. Your father caught many wizards, and none of them can meet his requirements. He caught and killed one group, but no one can do it. This is what goes against the sky. How can he do it?"
"Your mother hated your father more and more and didn't want to pay attention to him. Until later, a wizard of he nationality came to your father and said he could do it, but only if your father didn't kill the wizard's tribe. Your father was very excited, so he took the wizard to your mother."
"This wizard... Is Boch."
"Ah!"
Rowan exclaimed.
"It's bochi who is hiding in the deer and monkey cave now. People are not like people and ghosts are not like ghosts."
Shi Yuan said blandly.
"What else do you know!"
Rowan asked in horror.
"A lot, a lot."
Shi Yuan smiled: "For example, the dolls hanging on the locust tree in your mother's yard and the dolls hanging in her house, do you think they are just dolls? Those are real children. In the past 20 years since your mother came to Yongzhou, she has sent someone out to steal some children every year. She will hold them in her arms and love them like you when she was a child, but she will get bored soon, because that These are not her children, and then she will kill them and make dolls. Everyone in Luo's house knows that those dolls are lifelike. Who knows that they are really dead children? "
"Impossible!"
Luo Wen's face was pale and said, "how could my mother use such evil and cruel means!"
"She?"
Shi Yuan couldn't help sneering: "if your father is just an ambitious man who can give up everything for himself, then he is not a devil, and your mother is a complete devil. She is a madman, a zombie who has lost her heart..."
"Has she aged for so many years?"
Shi Yuan asked.
Luo Wen's pupils suddenly expanded and his mouth opened... With a slap, the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and broke to pieces.
