Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Gambling

Xiao Chuan and the slaves were sent back to the horse farm, but the attitude of the guards towards Xiao Chuan was obviously different, and he was given a private room, and the yard was obviously cleaned, and the smell of horse manure was no longer so strong. Xiaochuan's single room was quickly filled with people seeking help. Everyone felt that although they escaped from the tiger's mouth this time, they still could not escape the fate of being slaves for the rest of their lives, so they begged Xiaochuan who possessed "divine power" to lead them back to Daqin. Xiao Chuan looked at the old, weak, women and children in front of him, and made up his mind to escape with everyone. What is the name of Yimou's movie... "No One Can Be Less"!Including the stubborn Lieutenant General Pang.

Sure enough, Deputy General Pang refused to escape. He thought that he would be a drag on them because of his limited mobility. He even asked Xiao Chuan not to bring the old and weak, women and children, but only the most capable and strong men.Xiao Chuan is also a stubborn person, so he tied up Vice President Pang and took him away directly, so as to save him from repeating himself. That night, under the leadership of Xiao Chuan, everyone managed to escape from the horse farm in the dark. Just when everything was going well, when everyone waded across the river and climbed ashore panting, suddenly torches lit up around them, and Tuan soldiers swarmed up to surround them tightly.

General Jin walked up to Xiao Chuan and said with a sneer, "We meet again! I didn't expect that the guy who was called a god by the slaves was nothing more than that, and I counted him so easily." Xiao Chuan was not convinced: "It's just my bad luck!" General Jin laughed: "Bad luck? If I hadn't arranged it on purpose, how could you have killed the guards guarding you so easily? If I hadn't let you escape on purpose, old, weak, sick and disabled people like you could have escaped like this." Far?—know why I let you escape? Because in Tuan it is a capital offense for a slave to escape. Now, I can kill you."

Xiao Chuan laughed: "To kill me? It doesn't have to be so complicated, I'm a slave, anyone can kill me." General Jin walked up to Xiao Chuan with a smile, and whispered in his ear: "You have made a show of yourself in the paddock, making the city full of wind and rain, and the king can't kill you even if he wants to kill you."——It's all right now, I can kill you Fa-rectification on the spot, but what a pity, these people will be buried with you!" Xiao Chuan was startled: "The escape was planned by me alone, and everything has nothing to do with them!"

General Jin was disdainful: "I know, what's the matter? Remember, you are the one who killed them!" He turned his head and announced loudly to the soldiers: "All slaves should be executed immediately!" The soldiers immediately raised their weapons and surrounded Xiao Chuan and the others step by step. The slaves panicked, and their cries pierced the silent night. At the critical moment, Princess Yushu's cavalry suddenly appeared, and the princess shouted loudly: "Stop!" Xiaochuan's eyes collided with Princess Yushu again, and he couldn't help being moved again.

Yushu ordered: "General Jin, don't kill them yet, tomorrow I will ask my father to judge." General Jin whispered to Yushu that this time it was the trap arranged by the king, because Yi Xiaochuan's performance shocked Tuan, and the king was worried that it would shake the hearts of the people and wanted to get rid of Xiaochuan as soon as possible. Yushu calmed down after being shocked: "Father is worrying too much, please general give them to me, I will definitely persuade father to let Yi Xiaochuan go!" General Jin had always had a special liking for Yushu. Seeing that Yushu was so concerned about Xiao Chuan, he was very unbalanced. He said to Princess Yushu angrily: "The king's order is a military order, and the general has to follow it. The princess' order In such a situation, the final general can only take a gamble and see what God wills."

"what do you mean?" "It's just to see if God wants them to live! The last general is willing to compete with this slave named Yi Xiaochuan for three rounds. Two out of three rounds, if he wins, these slaves will be taken back by the princess; if I win, they all I'm going to die." General Jin pointed his finger at Xiao Chuan, and he secretly made up his mind to kill Xiao Chuan in the competition. Xiao Chuan finally understood at this moment, it turned out that this guy was trying to make things difficult for me, if it was just his own life and death, he would bet on it, but it was about the lives of so many people, Xiao Chuan really hesitated in his heart.Unexpectedly, Princess Yushu was even less confident. She glanced at Xiao Chuan worriedly and said, "This is unfair. Who doesn't know that you are the number one warrior in Tu'an! He will definitely lose!"

Seeing Princess Yushu's worried eyes, General Jin felt even more jealous, and said angrily, "If the princess doesn't accept the bet, then this group of people will die here now." Princess Yushu glanced at Xiao Chuan with hesitant eyes... Xiao Chuan's heart felt hot, and he took a step forward: "I accept the move!" The sky was already bright, and Xiao Chuan was still resting with his eyes closed. The women among the slaves combed Xiao Chuan's hair and arranged his clothes.Xiao Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, I must win! The first gamble is a weapon competition. General Jin and Yi Xiaochuan can choose weapons at will, and whoever falls to the ground first loses.General Jin chose the sharp sword, and Xiao Chuan chose the spear.

General Jin walked across to Xiao Chuan, and said: "It's too early to admit defeat, otherwise the sword has no eyes, be careful and lose your life on the spot." Xiaochuan smiled: "I was going to tell you this, but I didn't expect you to say it first." General Jin shouted angrily, drew his sword and rushed towards Xiao Chuan, his moves were vigorous and mighty, and Xiao Chuan had a hard time coping with them, so he believed that the title of Tuan's number one warrior was not in vain, so he did not hesitate. Dare to neglect and concentrate on responding to the enemy.Both sides come and go, evenly matched.General Jin didn't expect Xiao Chuan to be so good, he yelled, slashed a few times with all his strength, and cut off the spear.Xiao Chuan could only hold the two halves of the support to watch, and was in a hurry for a while.

Yu Shu looked anxious, but couldn't help.The slaves also watched with trepidation, while the soldiers cheered for General Jin together. Xiao Chuan is in danger, his clothes have been ripped open, and it seems that General Jin is about to succeed.Xiao Chuan suddenly thought of Xiang Liang's bamboo stick, it was this thin bamboo stick that taught Xiang Yu, who was several times stronger than General Jin, into obedience. Xiao Chuan immediately threw away the half of the gun body with the tip, only holding the other half, and waved to General Jin with a smile: "Come again!" General Jin was furious and slashed wildly with his sword, but this time he couldn't cut the stick, but was hit by the stick one by one.Taking advantage of General Jin's impatience, Xiao Chuan saw the opportunity and knocked down the long sword in General Jin's hand with a stick, and pressed General Jin's chest with a wooden stick.

General Jin remained motionless, looking at the wooden stick on his chest, for a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and took three steps back: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your mercy, I also call myself a hero, if you win, you have to be upright, and if you lose, you have to be upright. I lose Already!" The slaves cheered together and hugged each other. General Jin sighed: "It's a pity that we met like this, now either you die or I live, otherwise I will definitely make you my friend." Xiao Chuan smiled handsomely: "It's never too late to meet a good friend. Brother Jin is so forthright, even if you cut off my head today, I will make you my friend." General Jin clasped his fists in return: "Okay! I'm committed to you as a friend too! As a friend, I want to tell you: If this is on the battlefield, I must win, because I want to kill you, but you don't want to kill me! On the battlefield, you must put the enemy to death, this is the way to win." "Brother Jin's kind words, I am very grateful. However, I will not change it, because I have my principles." "Then you have to be careful, this is only the first game, there are two more!" "Don't worry, I don't want to kill you, but I also want to live." General Jin nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, see you in the second round." The second game was a riding and shooting competition.Ten people from both sides will hold ten archery targets. Xiao Chuan and General Jin will shoot arrows at the targets held by their own people on galloping horses. The one who hits more targets wins. Everyone understands that this competition not only tests the archer's archery skills, but also the courage of the target lifter. If the target lifter moves a tiny bit at a critical moment, no matter how superb the archer's archery skills, it will be difficult to hit the target; otherwise, If the shooter is not skilled, the person holding the target may lose his life. Among the slaves, ten men came out without hesitation, and General Jin also selected ten well-trained soldiers. General Jin stepped on his horse first and rode away. He fired ten arrows in one breath. When everyone looked around, all ten arrows hit the bull's-eye. The pressure was all on Xiaochuan's side. He evened his breath and got on his horse. The horse galloped away. In the blink of an eye, he had shot nine arrows, and all nine arrows hit the bull's-eye.When Xiao Chuan shot the last arrow, the daughter of the tenth target lifter among the slaves yelled "Father" in fright. The target lifter heard his daughter's cry and turned his head involuntarily to look at the arrow in his hand. The target also turned around, and Xiao Chuan's last arrow actually missed the target. All the slaves froze there. They could have been freed immediately, but they were destroyed by a child, and all the complaints were directed towards the family. Princess Yushu sighed and announced: "The second match of General Jin wins! It's getting late, and the third match will be held tomorrow!" In the middle of the night, Xiao Chuan was resting when suddenly a black cloth cover was placed on his head. Before he could react, a steel knife was placed on his neck. Xiao Chuan was escorted to the top of the mountain, and the black cloth cover on his head was removed, and he found a man in black robe standing in front of him. Xiao Chuan sneered: "Did General Jin send you here? Is he afraid that he won't be able to beat me tomorrow and wants to lay a black hand on me?" The man in black slowly lifted his cloak, and it was Princess Yushu, Xiao Chuan was taken aback, did she also want to attack him? Who would have thought that Princess Yushu would say: "Go away, the faster you can escape, the better, and the farther you can escape!" "Princess, are you kidding me? The third match is about to start. If I don't show up, General Jin will win and everyone will die!" Xiao Chuan was puzzled. "Tomorrow's competition, you can't beat General Jin no matter what, you can run away now, don't waste my thoughts. Maybe we will have a chance to meet in the future." When Xiao Chuan heard this, his heart moved, the princess seemed to have a good impression of him, and deliberately let him die, but if he left, those slaves would die here.After much deliberation, Xiao Chuan decided to stay: "Thank you princess for your favor and care, I am very grateful... However, I can't leave my companions behind, regardless of their life or death." "It's useless. Tomorrow's competition has only one outcome. I don't want you to die. You can go now. I'll wait for the day when we meet again!" Listening to the princess' words, Xiao Chuan's heart felt as if it was flying into the clouds. The princess was implying to me that she was reluctant to let me die. If I died, she would definitely be sad.Xiao Chuan was a little moved, he found that Yu Shu's eyes were full of expectation and encouragement, Xiao Chuan's heart was agitated, and finally made up his mind to turn around and leave, he walked a few steps, and looked back at Yu Shu reluctantly. Yu Shu smiled and waved at Xiao Chuan, who then turned and left.Watching Xiao Chuan's back disappear into the bushes, Yu Shu's eyes suddenly became dim, and a line of tears flowed down. Xiao Chuan walked quickly through the woods, and at the end of the woods, a sharp sword was slowly pulled out of its scabbard... Yu Shu stood where she was, weeping silently, no one knew what she was thinking. Suddenly, a large bunch of tiny wild flowers appeared in front of Yushu. Yushu raised his head and saw Xiaochuan's sunny smile. Yushu's face was full of surprise, but his eyes also brightened: "You, you Didn't leave?" "You let me go, so I left. I also promised my companions that I would save them. I am a man, and I will do what I said, so when I come back, even if I don't have a chance, I will fight hard." Take a moment." Xiao Chuan said with a relaxed face, "Also, these flowers are for you." Xiao Chuan handed over the bouquet of wild flowers, and Yu Shu took the bouquet with a smile. Against the small flowers, she looked so fresh and pure. "Don't you cherish your own life?" "How can you not cherish it? However, my life is no longer my own. This is a girl who gave up her own life in exchange for it. She made me understand the value of sacrifice. If I don't leave, I'm sorry for you; But if I don't come back, I'm sorry for all of them, and even more so for that girl." Yushu stared at Xiao Chuan for a long time: "If you are not very brave, then you are very stupid; if you are not benevolent, then you are very good at disguising." "Princess, what do you mean?" Xiao Chuan was confused. Yu Shu clapped three times, and General Jin walked out of the woods, holding a sword in his hand—it was the sword that was ambushing outside the woods!Now he put the sword back in its sheath, and bowed his hands to salute: "In the third match, you won, and I was convinced that I lost." Xiao Chuan was puzzled: "But, what exactly are we comparing?" Yushu explained to Xiaochuan that after the second competition, Princess Yushu decided to draw up the topic of the third competition by herself. After the previous competition, she no longer doubted Xiaochuan's martial arts, and she wanted to test Xiaochuan's personality Therefore, he made a plan to let Xiao Chuan escape on purpose. Looking at his choice, it turns out that Xiao Chuan is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. General Jin laughed and said, "If you had really escaped just now, you would have already become the ghost under my sword!" Xiao Chuan couldn't help feeling chills in his neck, and smiled at Yushu and General Jin, thinking: Jin, I didn't expect you to prepare a back move for me. Fortunately, your uncle has a strong will, or I will be chopped off by you If you don't say anything, you will still be laughed at for the rest of your life! Princess Yushu announced that because of Ogawa's loyalty and courage, he won the third game and the slaves saved their lives.In order to reward Ogawa's loyalty, as their master, she gave everyone freedom, and they are no longer slaves from today. Unexpected surprises made the liberated people cheer, sing and dance. Vice-General Pang was deeply moved when he learned everything about it. After all these life and death, he has been convinced by Xiao Chuan's personality.So, he knelt down in front of Xiaochuan on one knee and swore to him: "Although Pang has been suspicious of Mr. I am willing to follow by your side and obey your orders!" As Deputy General Pang knelt down, all the slaves also knelt down in front of Xiao Chuan, and they all claimed to follow Xiao Chuan.Just when Xiaochuan didn't know what to do, Princess Yushu decided to give them the land under the mountain to live in. Everyone decided to name the village "Fuhu Village", hoping to settle down and start a business here. Xiao Chuan thought to himself, staying here is fine, since we can’t go back to modern times anyway, and if we go back to Daqin, we will have to suffer from the chaos of war, so it’s better to stay here and live a comfortable life in a paradise. When he really decided to stay, Xiao Chuan felt that he had let go of a lot of burdens. He came to the mountain where he made a life-and-death decision again, looked at the mountains, and shouted: "Dad, Mom, Da Chuan, are you all right?" Today, I am very happy! I have never saved so many people in my life! Okawa, did you hear? I have become a superhero once, stronger than Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, and Guo Jing! Haha...Gao Lan, I'm not going back, I want to break up with you, you can be someone else's sassy girlfriend." Xiao Chuan became more and more excited when he heard the echo in the valley. He continued to shout: "Gao Lan, if you are not convinced, come here to find me. If you don't show up on the count of three, you agree! One, two, three ! Looks like you agree, haha!" Gao Lan woke up from the dream, she seemed to hear Xiao Chuan's cry, she looked around to see where there was Xiao Chuan's shadow. There were still tears on Gao Lan's face, she gently wiped it away, alas, I was having the same dream again, why can I see my brother again only in the dream. Since learning about the allusion of Fuhu Village, Da Chuan and Professor Yi have enjoyed themselves and been busy with "archaeological work".Gao Lan was extremely bored, so she slipped out to relax, but unexpectedly fell asleep on the top of the mountain.If she knew that Xiao Chuan stood on the same mountain to provoke her two thousand years ago, she would definitely be furious. It was getting late, Gao Lan stood up and was about to go down the mountain, but she tripped over something and fell to the ground as soon as she took a step, she got up cursing and took a look, she was stunned: Hey, isn't this a treasure box! She rubbed her eyes for a long time, pinched her thigh N times, and looked carefully for a long time before she was sure that she was not dreaming!Surprised and delighted, Gao Lan ran down the mountain with the treasure box in her arms. In the woods where General Jin had been in ambush, the man in black came out and sighed secretly.Behind him, Laura followed, and asked angrily: "I don't understand, why should we send the treasure box we have worked so hard to send back to them?" "Rather than us working hard, it's better to let them work hard, and we can reap the benefits of fishing!" The man in black replied lukewarmly. Luo La didn't take it seriously: "Now that their map is incomplete, I want to see how they found it! ... Also, what if they really found all five rings and opened the treasure box?" "They will never be able to do it, because I won from the beginning!" The man in black clenched his black-gloved fist. Looking at the treasure box on the table, Da Chuan, Professor Yi and Mother Yi couldn't help pinching their own thighs quietly. The treasure box just came back?To be honest, there are such good things in the world, even if I kill you, I won’t believe it! "Maybe they found that they couldn't open it, so they simply handed it over to us and let us do it for them." Okawa analyzed. Professor Yi nodded: "No matter why, since we're back, we can't let it get lost. This is an important cultural relic!" "A cultural relic? It should be a clue! Find a clue to your son!" Mother Yi strongly rebounded. Seeing that a war of words was about to start again, Okawa hurriedly interrupted, suggesting to try the mechanism of buckling the dragon lock immediately.Sure enough, Professor Yi and Mother Yi immediately forgot about the dispute and returned to the table. In the anticipation of everyone, the first black ring stone was inserted into the corresponding gap on the treasure box, and there was a sound like gears turning in the box, followed by a crisp "click".Mother Yi said excitedly: "The first lock of the button dragon lock has been opened!" Things were not over yet, the puzzles on this side began to rotate and assemble by themselves, and finally a picture was synthesized, which was the scene of the hero with the golden light on his chest subduing the tiger!With the formation of the picture, the ring stone was fixed on the treasure box like an inlay, and everyone couldn't help being very excited. The legend of Fuhu Village seems to be true! Everyone is eager to see the next picture.Mother Yi inserted the second black ring stone into the gap on the other side, and the second button of the buckle lock was opened, and a second picture appeared on the treasure box: in the valley, a guard of honor marched slowly , a group of people on the hillside seemed to be preparing to ambush. Everyone wondered: "What kind of story will this be?"
