Just as I was wandering around the city, a voice called out, "Did you see that? It was said that the Enlightenment Sword had shot out a beam of light that illuminated the world! According to the legends, whenever a new era was about to begin, the Sword Ascension Sect would always send out a strong ray of light! "If that's the case, then Lord Liu is the hero who initiated a new era!" Sigh! However, Lord Liu's methods were too overbearing and harsh! This was something that he could not compare with Lord Fan! Sigh! What a pity that Lord Fan … "
The person who spoke earlier said to his companion, "Shhh! Keep it down, don't let anyone hear you, or we'll be in trouble! " Hearing this, I unconsciously sighed, a sense of despair welled up. "Since Liu Yan was able to cause the Enlightenment Sword to emit such a strong light, it seems like Liu Yan has become its true master! Am I really hopeless? "Sigh!"
"Oh!" That person just now looked so familiar! " said one of the two officers as he passed me. When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat, and I quickly ran away. The man came back to reality and said, "That man was Fan Li's party!" The other one still had some doubts: "Isn't it?" I would rather kill by mistake than let it go! " Two officials immediately chased after me.
I ran fast, I ran to a fork in the road, I ran straight for the other road. A dead end!
Due to my sharp ears, I heard the conversation of the two people from far away and panicked. It seemed that I would have to kill these two officials first before considering how I could leave the city. At this moment, an old beggar looked at me and gestured for me to put on a dirty set of clothes. It was urgent, so I didn't have any time to think about it, so I quickly put it on.
Two officials ran over and saw me and the old beggar. They asked the old beggar, "Hey! Did you see someone running over just now? " The old beggar instead begged the official, "zang-fu, there are only two people begging here, how can there be an outsider? zang-fu, please reward this lowly one with some copper coins! " The two officials looked around to see that it was a dead end. They didn't even throw down their coins and left. They only cursed a few times before leaving.
The old beggar looked at the two figures of the officials walking away and said indifferently, "Young man, do you believe that it won't be long before the martial law is imposed on the entire city? Presumably, the city gates had already closed! After all, right now, Fan Li is on his side, and the strong Dong Zhuo is on his side. "Huh?" I looked at the old beggar with wide eyes.
The old beggar laughed, and said: "I can see that your eyes are full of spirit, you are not a mortal! I can vaguely feel that your domineering aura is slowly recovering and spreading in all directions! Your identity is extraordinary! "Just now, the two officials were chasing you, but …" "The old beggar no longer made a sound." "Ahhh!" I was even more shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
The old beggar continued: "I think it is best not to rush out of the city, otherwise, you will fall into Liu Yan's hands! Furthermore, if you stay here, in the heart of Liu Yan, you might find more opportunities! The advantage was that it was close to the situation of the people and knew what they needed! Do you know that Emperor Shun's time with the commoners laid a foundation for him to become a wise emperor through the ages? And when the First Emperor made a name for himself in the State of Zhao, he also came into contact with the people. Because of this, he was well aware of the human nature of the people and that was why he was able to unite the six countries in the future! The Gauzu emperor had been a citizen for more than forty years, and had a profound understanding of human nature. Emperor Xuan once lived in prison and later left the country, knowing well the hardships of the people and the gains and losses of government. When he came to power in person, he was able to achieve political clarity, social stability, political prosperity, the surrender of the Huns to call Han Xie, and the defeat of the car-driver. He was able to accomplish the mission which the Martial Emperor had set aside for the whole country, which was called 'Zhongxing'. So, you don't have to worry too much about your current situation! Now, he would have a hard time! The heavens will descend upon us, and we will suffer first! "
I was stunned. The person in front of me was definitely not an ordinary beggar! Who is he? Enemy or friend?
The old beggar smiled and said: "Laozi's words: 'Misfortunes come and go, fortune comes and goes'. Right now may be the time for your misfortune to descend from the heavens, but it is hard to say if your misfortune will turn into fortune! Closer to the enemy it was easier to find the opportunity, and if one was in trouble, it was easier to rouse anger, seizing the opportunity to give the enemy an unexpected opportunity might be a fatal blow! And I'm sending you a message, 'The most dangerous place is the safest place'.
I thought about it carefully: "If I stay here, Liu Yan definitely won't think of it! If I go back and stay with Big Brother and the rest, it will be hard to guarantee that I will be discovered by Liu Yan who has many ears and eyes. Also, third brother's whereabouts are unknown. If I stay here, it'll be easier for me to find out more news about third brother! But if I stay here, will I become a beggar? No! No matter what, I was once an overlord. I would rather die a thousand times than be a beggar! However, to conceal himself without being discovered, it was hard to find a second one! No! I have the dignity of a hegemon, so I definitely cannot be this depraved! "
The old beggar saw my appearance and understood what I was thinking. He couldn't help but sigh and say, "A lot of things are forced out of me!" If you can get out of the city, then get out! "If you can't, then you …" The old beggar fixed his eyes on me, pressed his heart down, and said something, obviously questioning me, "Just ask if your heart is still there? A sense of responsibility, a heart that fought for one's dreams, a heart that protected one's family and friends, as well as the safety in the heart of those eyes that looked forward to, for the sake of those who loved him the most, for the sake of returning the hearts of all those who loved him! Is your heart here? "
His words cut into my heart, and there was only one sentence: "Is my heart here?" I looked at my heart, then at the old beggar, though I didn't know who he was. I gritted my teeth and took off my dirty clothes. I cupped my fist towards the old beggar and said, "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you!" I'll be leaving first! "
I strode forward, my face covered with a bamboo hat, trying to get out of the city as fast as I could. A group of officers and soldiers flashed past me, led by Zhang Su, whose brother Zhang Song voted for Liu Bei, while he continued to follow Liu Yan.
Zhang Su stared at me and shouted, "Who is that?! Stop! I want to search! " My heart tightened and I stopped in my tracks. Zhang Su turned around and looked at me with squinted eyes, "Why do you look so familiar?" Lift up your bamboo hat! " My heart tightened. I immediately aimed at Zhang Su's sword and pulled it out. I stabbed at Zhang Su at lightning speed. Zhang Su was startled and didn't have time to dodge. He died on the spot.
While the soldiers were still in a daze, I immediately ran. Liu Yan's soldiers regained their senses, and shouted in unison: "Catch the thieves! Quick, catch the thieves! " They came after me.
As I ran, I saw another group of Liu Yan soldiers in front of me. I quickly turned the corner and ran towards another direction. On the other side of the crossroads that I was at, there were two fishermen and a child walking together. It was the fish head and the Eriobotrya. Eriobotrya said bitterly, "Damn it! The officials increased the taxes, did they even let them live? " fish head looked at me who was running past and could not help but whisper, "Master!"
The child beside fish head looked at him and asked, "Father, what's wrong?" When the Eriobotrya heard my words, he looked at me who was running away and said softly, "Is it you, Lord Fan? He, he's not dead? " fish head said with certainty: "It can't be wrong! It was him! Great! The Lord is still alive! " At that moment, wave after wave of sharp blade-wielding soldiers passed by them. They quickly moved away.
The fish head looked at the place that I ran past and stood there dumbly without making a sound. fish head suddenly turned around and stared at Eriobotrya, and said: "We have previously committed the crime of exterminating the, but Lord did not plead guilty, and had instead treated us with kindness, and bowed down to recognize us as your friends! Seeing that he is in trouble due to his great kindness, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I have to ensure his safety! " Eriobotrya also laughed, he was clearly overjoyed and said: "I originally thought that I would not have the opportunity to repay his gratitude, I never thought that I would be able to do anything for him! Haha! "It seems like the heavens have set their eyes on us!"
fish head turned around and ordered the child: "Duo'er, quickly run out of the city and inform mother and uncle's family to move them away! The sooner the better! If you and your mother were to be unluckily caught by Liu Yan's soldiers, you must remember, you must firmly claim that your father is part of Fan Li's faction! You know what? Father's life was given by him, so now is the time for Father to return his life! " Eriobotrya also ordered him, "You go find my wife and children, my orders are the same as what your father said!" The kid nodded, then ran away. After running a few steps, he suddenly turned around to look at his father. He looked at him deeply. He did not know why, but he felt like he was looking at his father.
fish head's eyes were filled with tears, but he forced himself to shout, "Go quickly!" The child turned and ran. fish head said, "Quick! "Let's go!" "Yes!" Eriobotrya nodded.
fish head said to Eriobotrya: "Brother, let's go! "We will help the Lord Fan!" "Hm!" The Eriobotrya nodded and the two of them quickly ran to another direction …
[Note 1]: I am here to tamper with the information, Zhang Su had told Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang killed Zhang Song, and in my novel, Zhang Song did not die, at Liu Bei's place! Zhang Su stood on Liu Yan's side.
