Chapter 84 - The Prophecy of the Celestial Way
Just like that, I disbanded the five hundred people and let them scatter in all directions. Shi Xie thought that I was at the end of my rope and abandoned the army to escape. He believed that the me who was without an army only needed a pavilion master to capture me, so he gave the order to pursue me. Shi Xie personally led the large army to attack Fan Xin, wanting to seize the Nine Innate County.
Li Gang, along with two other people, and I headed towards Yu Lin.
Just at this time, a Taoist came over, he looked at me carefully for a while and said: "You must be one of the Four Great Children of Ankang County, I guess?" I looked fixedly at the Taoist and said strangely, "Yes! "May I ask who the Taoist is?" The Daoist laughed and said, "No need to ask who I am! You will rise up in a corner of the world, giving orders, recruiting wise men, rich and powerful soldiers. It would sweep across the entire world! In the future, you will command thousands of men and horses to gallop across the battlefield. When you have achieved your ambition in the world, you must know that you have to know when to advance and when to retreat! There's a way to advance and a way to retreat. This is life! "
I bitterly smiled and said, "I don't even know if I can live to return to Yu Lin. However, I will firmly remember your teachings! "Thank you, Taoist!" I bowed to the Taoist. The Daoist looked at me with a smile and said, "The boy can be taught! It seems that you and I are really fated to be master and disciple! "Hm!" Following that, the Daoist man said with a stern expression: "You have to be careful of this longan radix area, maybe you will die here because of it. Even if you manage to escape, you still have to be careful not to fall into the Devil Dao! Otherwise, I can only kill you and take justice for the heavens! Remember, you have to control your inner demons! Sigh! However, even if you managed to escape this calamity, there will still be many calamities awaiting you! Sigh! "Let's see how you will pass!"
The Daoist's words made me even more puzzled and confused. I asked, "Will the four of us be able to safely return to Yu Lin?" The Daoist pointed at me and then at Li Gang, and said: "Only the two of you can return to Yu Lin!" I looked at the other two as I thought to myself, "These two brothers will follow me. I must ensure that he will be safe!" The two of them glared at the Taoist angrily, "What nonsense! Humph! "Let's go!"
The Daoist ignored them and turned to me with a stern warning: "You must remember! Devil born from the heart, you must control yourself not to enter the path of evil ah! You should understand your own way! Someone who has received the Mandate of Heaven! " With that, the Daoist disappeared from in front of the four of us. The four of us were very surprised.
I just feel as if the Daoist's words were carved into my heart. I blurted out, "My way? Heaven's Mandate? "What is this?" Li Gang said, "General … A children's song was passed down in Jiao Prefecture, "Zhu Yi is on the run, you have a good relationship with all the warriors, and you should be happy with him!" I believe that the general will accomplish a great deed! I believe in that Taoist act? The army was simply not ruthless enough! Sigh … "I looked at Li Gang." Li Gang …? br

The other person pointed at the barrier in front of them and said: "Once you pass this stage, you will reach Yu Lin's realm!" I looked at the checkpoint from afar and said, "Look at how tightly Shi Xie is guarding this checkpoint, I think that Li Xiong has already been conquered by Li Xiong! "Otherwise, we wouldn't have such a tight defense!" Li Gang said: "I believe there will definitely be a general's portrait at the gate. Let's put on our painting first before we pass!" I nodded. "Alright!"
The four of us dressed up and headed straight for the pass.
The guard pointed at my letter and said, "Hello! What are you doing? Where did you go? " I stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, we are commoners living in front of you. We are in the midst of a business deal. We are rushing back!" The soldiers looked around the four of us twice, and the general kept giving us four looks, hinting at something. I took it into my head to take out some money and slip it to the soldiers. The soldier quickly put it away and said, "Let's go! Be careful! There's a traitor over there! " I hastily said, "Yes! Yes! "Thank you, Sir!" The soldier waved his hand. "Let's go!"
When we had just taken a few steps, the general suddenly woke up and shouted: "Why do I feel that you look so familiar? You are the traitor Fan Li! Brothers, let's not bother about them. Let's capture them first and then make our plans! " At the command of the general, the soldiers closed in on the four of us.
I drew my sword and shouted, "Since it has come to this, we can only hurry and get it!" The other three also took out their weapons and began to fight with the soldiers. The guard shouted, "Quick! Close the door! " A person flew to the front of the door and with a wave of his sword, he beheaded the enemy soldier that wanted to close the door. He shouted, "My lord, quickly leave!" I stood behind the incoming enemy soldiers and shouted, "I can't leave you behind!" The other man shoved me out of the way, and the soldier thrust his gun at him from behind. He was shot and bleeding profusely from his mouth, and he fell to the ground, holding out his bloody hand and crying out, "My lord! Let's go! Take care! I believe that you can establish a world of peace! " Saying that, he slept on the floor forever …
Since the enemy had closed the door, one of them blocked it with his body so that I could escape, so as not to close it, and I had to go out and shut the door, but he was clamped to death by the two doors that were so tightly shut. I looked at him with tears in my eyes. He held out his hand and kept waving. My lord! Go! Run! Li Gang, you have to protect our lord well! My lord, I cannot see the world you are trying to establish! "Yi …" His hand that was covered in tears slowly drooped down, and he lowered his head as well …
I shouted sadly, "Brothers!" Li Gang looked at the two people who sacrificed their lives for him in order to save me, and sighed with tears in his eyes: "Could it be that this is the power of benevolence? A person who could make someone fight to their death for the faith they had created, that person was a saint! Could Fan Li really change this world? Was he really an enlightened person that was worth using his life to serve? No matter what, I have to protect him until he's free from here! "
Therefore, Li Gang urged me: "Let's go! "General, otherwise they would have died in vain!" I turned around to look at the checkpoint, my eyes brimming with tears, I said: "Li Gang, but..." Li Gang panicked, and scolded me: "General, do you want our blood to flow in vain? Let's go! We cannot let our brother die in vain! " Li Gang and I looked at each other for a moment, and as if we understood what Li Gang meant, I sighed heavily. You're right! Then, fine! "Let's go!" I clenched my teeth and knelt down abruptly. "Brothers, I have let you down!" Don't worry! I will definitely fulfill our shared dream! " Li Gang urged: "Let's go! "General!" I want to say something, but I don't know if the tears in my eyes are stuck in my mouth and I can't speak, or if there's something stuck in my mouth and I can't speak.
Very quickly, the enemy soldiers swarmed out and chased after us. Just when they were anxious, they said, "Let's go! Otherwise, I will let you two brothers die in vain! " As soon as I said this, I wanted to get up and run away, so I had to run away with that old man at top speed. The two of us fled deeper into the forest, so that it would be difficult for the enemy cavalry to use their advantage in power to catch up with us.
Breathing heavily, I said, "Are you all right? It should be Yu Lin's turn! Can you walk? " Li Gang replied breathlessly, "I can't walk anymore, General, leave me behind first!" I said firmly, "No! It's absolutely impossible for me to leave you alive! If we die, we die together! " He was so excited that he did not know what to say. He could only choke out, "General …"
At this moment, a large cloud of dust rose up in front of us. A large group of people were rapidly approaching us.
Just then, he shouted anxiously, "General! Let's go! I can't walk anymore! There is one less person in this world, one more person than me, and this world cannot do without you! You should hurry up and leave! " He sighed repeatedly in his heart, "Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! Grandfather, father and family, I will never revive our family again! It seems like this child's life is going to end today! Sigh! This is also fate! " At the thought of this, two tears welled up in his eyes. At first, he really didn't want to die, but would fate allow it?
I was not in favor of abandoning the idea of running for my life. I said, "No! I won't leave you! I think using my life in exchange for yours should be worth it. Since the time I joined together with you to fight for the Prefectural Court, it has already been half a year. "Sigh!" I sighed at the sky. He bitterly smiled and said, "I am indeed a sinner, but fortunately, I was able to save your life in the end!" His face was filled with tears. "General! "I …" His thoughts had been surging violently just now …
I stood up and welcomed the approaching troops and horses and shouted loudly, "I am Fan Li! You guys can catch me if you want! I only hope to let this brother of mine off! " I closed my eyes as if I were waiting to be caught. After a while, the group of soldiers and horses came before the two of us. The general jumped down from his horse and shouted out joyfully, "Fourth Brother!"
Hearing that voice, I felt that it was very familiar. I opened my eyes and looked at the person who spoke, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Third Brother! Third brother! It's you! Great! I thought it was Shi Xie's men! " Zhang Tie stepped forward and hugged me tightly. "Fourth brother, you've suffered! You know what? The whole of Yu Lin County has been taken down by us! Go! Let's go back to Yu Lin! " I was thrilled. "Good! Great! We just escaped danger! It's fine now! " Li Gang cried bitterly, "General … It's hard for you to think so highly of your subordinate! I will not hesitate to die for my subordinate, my lord! " Li Gang couldn't help but call me "General" and changed his address to "Master". I just smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Okay! Don't cry! Don't be like a girl! You're a man! "Alright, let's go!" Gang: "…"
Just then, unexpectedly, he half-knelt on the ground, saluted me, and respectfully said, "My lord! From today onwards, I, Li Gang will be your most loyal subordinate! This subordinate swore an oath: 'I swear my allegiance to my lord!' I immediately supported him up and said, "Li Gang, don't be like this! If you want me, how can I make you swear loyalty to me? "Hurry, wake up!" I raised my hands and looked straight at him, and I smiled back at him.
Zhang Tie walked over and said, "Looks like Fourth Brother makes Li Gang convinced! "Haha!" Li Gang saw Zhang Tie walking in front of him, "Zhang …" Li Gang looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Zhang Tie felt it was strange, so he asked: "Li Gang, what do you have to say? Just say it! What are you hesitating for, you big man? "
Li Gang asked: "Do you still remember family hatred? "Do you still care if the officials are still …" Zhang Tie did not wait for him to finish and responded loudly, "Why don't I hate it! It's a pity that I can't personally behead Zhang and other eunuchs to avenge my grandfather! I can't avenge my grandfather's friend Li Ying's family! Sigh! I wonder if Grandpa Li's descendant is still alive! "Sigh!"
Hearing Zhang Tie's words, Li Gang started crying, causing Zhang Tie and I to be confused and confused.
Why did Li Gang cry? What happened next? Decomposition Next.
