Chapter 31 second quarter

Three men entered the mourning hall.They neither bowed to offer incense nor sat down, but stood in front of Yu Runsheng. The man standing in the middle was the tallest, about the same height as the sickle head, but with gray hair at the temples, he seemed to be over fifty.He looked a little uncomfortable.Because he was not wearing armor.The five-foot-long iron sword was also missing. The men on the left and right stared at Zao Qi warily. "I'm injured, so I can only sit." Yu Runsheng said. "Marshal, please forgive me." Lu Yingfeng nodded. "I heard you used to be a soldier. Which side?"

"No matter which side you are at the time, life and death are in the hands of the marshal." Lu Yingfeng smiled for the first time. "But now my life and death are in your hands, right?" "The Marshal is our distinguished guest." "The marshal wants to leave or stay, who dares to stop him?" Guan Chang, the attendant standing on the right, said proudly. "Someone from Kyoto has been here." Huo Qian, the wing general on the left, heard the news about Yu Runsheng, his face changed slightly, and he looked at Lu Yingfeng worriedly. "Please don't worry, you are absolutely safe. Marshal Lu is a hero in this world. It is a pity to let you die at the hands of an eunuch who doesn't even have eggs."

Lu Yingfeng was not moved.Since fleeing all the way to the south, he has been betrayed by the old ministry three times, and he was almost tied back to the capital.He would not trust an unknown boss of the underworld. "To tell you that, I look like a desperate dog." Lu Yingfeng smiled wryly. Yu Runsheng understands why the fifty-four-year-old "Marshal of Suppression of Chaos" in front of him gave up his position as Marquis and ran away: In the eyes of this man who once shouldered millions of lives, he disdains everything in the world, and only dignity is his only thing. cherished things. The "Guanzhong Great Battle" should have been the peak of his life, but in the end he was robbed of glory by others.He couldn't live out the rest of his life in silence.

Generalissimo Lu Yingfeng's war is not over yet. "What are your plans for the future?" "There's no need to tell you, right?" Guan Chang sneered. "How much did you charge that Pu? Is that guy not too generous? Two or three hundred thousand taels? With so many of you, I'm afraid you won't be able to last long. Besides, if you want to make trouble, such as attacking a village or a town, there is no Can't you have fifty people?" "What attack the village? You regard us as horse thieves?" Guan Chang said angrily. "It's also a good way to save money for the military."

"Don't compare me with people like you." Lu Yingfeng said. "A military man named Lu, half his life as a soldier, still knows his integrity, looks up to the world and is not ashamed." "I don't think there is any difference between us." Yu Runsheng was not deterred by these bold words. "The rice we eat is not grown by ourselves. What we eat, drink, wear, and play are all obtained by killing people." Lu Yingfeng quietly lowered his head and stared at Yu Runsheng. "Maybe...you are right. Killing people... the thing I am best at and proudest of is killing people." Lu Yingfeng continued murmuring. "If I had been born in a peaceful and prosperous age, I might have been unknown all my life. If I was a farmer or a butcher, I would be a military officer at most... So I don't regret it. My sword has been stained with the blood of thousands of people, so I can make such a sword. kind of light."

His gaze did not change, and he met Yu Runsheng's energetic pupils. "Are you the same as me? Are you also proud of your amazing killing skills?" Yu Runsheng didn't answer him. Then everyone left. Yu Runsheng looked lonely. Is someone like Lu Yingfeng a fool or a lunatic?The only thing Yu Runsheng was sure of was that this man was a valuable asset. What does Lu Yingfeng want?Get back that lost dignity?Raise the "Qinwang Banner" like the Nanfan, and cut off the treacherous officials around Wangzheng?If so, why did he lead the imperial army to quell the chaos and behead tens of thousands of people?Is he playing a crazy joke with those tens of thousands of people?Wouldn't the death of those tens of thousands of people become worthless at all? ...

Yu Runsheng didn't think about it any further.He is not interested in these.Those who can't even control their own destiny, no matter how much they die, they will not shake the world.Only people like Lu Yingfeng can really shake the world. Of course there are people like Yu Runsheng. He managed to stand up and walked to Pang Wenying's coffin step by step.He pressed the sides of the coffin with both hands, his upper body leaned down on the coffin, and his cheek was pressed against the coffin lid. With his eyes closed, he smelled salt like the ocean. two lives.One is sixty-six years old.One has not yet been born.Having sacrificed these two lives, Yu Runsheng could not be deterred, let alone look back.

Yu Runsheng smiled and kissed the coffin. capital. No man of thirty-two could resist such an honorable temptation.
