Chapter 96 Chapter Thirteen We Can Only Share Wealth And Wealth Cannot Share Wealth

In the quiet twilight, there is only a piece of desolate long grass swaying in the wind, and occasionally a mottled toppled tombstone can be seen in the long grass, adding to the desolate look. Pushing aside the long grass, the Dongguan Brigade thought about the direction for a while, and led the crowd for a few steps, but suddenly saw a clear cemetery in the long grass. I saw that on the cemetery, a tombstone had been erected with good bluestone, and a few large characters were engraved on it: "The bones of the old friend, the leprosy ghost, are buried here". And in front of the tombstone, there were still a few pieces of cherry cakes that were still pure white and clean.

Third Princess Long took Princess Long's hand, brought her to the tombstone, and said softly. "Eldest sister, your child will be buried here forever." Princess Long stood quietly in front of the tombstone, her expression still dull and stupid, and she didn't even look at the tombstone. After standing there in a daze for a while, Third Princess Long sighed, came over and took her hand, and was about to take her away when she heard Princess Long speak softly. "Cherry Cake," her voice was soft, but without the slightest silliness or confusion. "I'd like a piece of cherry cake."

Ya Huan at the side came over with a bamboo basket, opened the lid of the basket, and carefully took out a piece of pure white and bright cherry cake. Princess Long took the cherry cake, and gently placed the cake in front of the grave, then hugged the stone tablet more gently and tenderly, stroking the stone tablet with infinite love, as if it was a cute and cute child. Then, she began humming an unknown lullaby softly. With the morning light, the soft singing echoes incessantly in the mass graves with overgrown grass, and floats on the ground with crystal clear morning dew. Thinking of the words that the dysentery ghost missed his mother back then, and looking at Princess Long's gentle maternal appearance at this time, everyone couldn't help but have red eyes.

Amidst the gentle cradle singing, the Dongguan Brigade turned its head gently, only to see the long grass on the east side slowly parting, and what came out from there was a face that belonged to the couple of bears. "Hu'er." Dongguan Lvwei yelled out in surprise, and only after he yelled did he feel that something was wrong, so he changed his words and said, "Your Majesty." At this moment, Hu'er didn't have any attendants by his side, he just walked over quietly, nodded towards the tombstone of the dysentery ghost, saw the figure of Princess Long, he was slightly startled, and then looked at her appearance carefully , with a look of astonishment on his face.

"She..." Hu'er said in surprise, "Could it be that she belongs to a dysentery ghost..." The Dongguan Brigade nodded, indicating that his guess was correct. Hu'er looked at Princess Long with some doubts for a while, and then looked at Princess Long and Guan Long'er. As early as when he came to Chu State, the Dongguan Brigade had already explained to Princess Long about Hu'er and Xionglu. The replacement of the body, so even though what she saw was Xiong Lu's appearance, Princess Longsan knew that the King of Chu in front of her was Hu'er. "Hu'er," Princess Long San nodded politely to him. "Hello."

Hearing what she said, Hu'er's face darkened subtly and unknowingly, but he still reluctantly nodded in reply. He looked at the crowd a few times, pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said to the Dongguan Brigade. "I have something to tell you, enter the palace with me!" The Dongguan Brigade looked at Princess Longsan and the others with some embarrassment, and said with a frown. "It's better to wait for a while. I'll settle them first before going in to see you." Hu'er said impatiently: "I said that I want to talk to you, it's a really important matter, your family can just ask my subordinates to make arrangements, so why waste time?"

Hearing his words, Third Princess Long just smiled coldly, turned around, and ignored Hu'er. This kind of action was too obvious, and in Hu'er's eyes, it made him even more unhappy. Feeling a little embarrassed, the Dongguan Brigade said with a smile. "Okay, okay, I'll go with you," he said, and then he said to Princess Longsan and Guan Longer: "After you finish worshiping, go back home, and I'll go back after talking with the king. " Princess Long San only vaguely responded, but she still refused to turn around. The Dongguan Brigade did not want this embarrassing situation to continue, so she quickly walked out of the mass grave, and returned to the street with Hu'er.

Hu'er's King Chu chariot team was parked at the street corner at the moment, he quickly passed the Dongguan Brigade, jumped onto the chariot, and went into the carriage without looking back. The Dongguan Brigade sighed secretly, and jumped into the carriage. In the carriage of King Chu's chariot, it goes without saying that it is rich and luxurious. I saw Hu Erji sitting on the couch, but there were some old-looking bamboo slips piled up around him. The East Gate Brigade looked at the bamboo slips with a little surprise, Hu'er glanced at him, and threw one of them towards him.

"I want you to come, I want you to see these things." As soon as the East Gate Brigade reached out to pick it up, he took the bamboo slip in his hand and read it carefully, but found that the handwriting on it was a bit crooked, and it was not the correct handwriting of officials such as historians. Moreover, the words and sentences on it are also a bit messy, and it is really difficult to read when sitting in a bumpy car. It seems that this is someone's graffiti, the content on it is messy, and after looking at it for a while, only a few words can be seen. "What is this?" Dongguan Brigade asked curiously, "Why is it such a mess?"

Hu'er shook his head, and casually picked up a bamboo slip. "I found these things in Xiong Lu's palace. They are his relics, and all the contents on them were written by him." "Bear lover's stuff?" Dongguan Lvqi asked, "How could he write so many strange things?" "Actually, if you think about it carefully, we really don't understand what Xiong Lu is thinking at all!" Hu'er sighed: "I have been with him for so many years, and even my life is considered to be handed over to him, but later I thought about it." Thinking about it, I found that Xiong Lu had never told anyone what was on his mind."

"Maybe his nature is like this!" Dongguan Lu said: "After all, he has lived in the palace of Chu since he was a child, and he doesn't have any friends of the same age, so he naturally takes things to heart." "You're right," Hu'er nodded. "Maybe it's because I lived in the palace since I was a child, so everyone must learn to keep their thoughts in their heads, otherwise if it is accidentally spread, they will be scolded by others. I'm going to lose my life! But people are always people, and they can’t live on their own for the rest of their lives. There are still many things on their minds that need to be spoken out. " "Of course," Dongguan Brigade nodded. "There are many times when someone always needs to listen to you, and you can't keep it in your heart all the time." "But Xionglu doesn't have such a person to confide in. I used to think that I was such a trusted person that he could tell me the deepest things in his heart, but later I realized that I was wrong. Xionglu doesn't trust anyone. Including me, including you, he never trusted anyone." "Maybe it's true," the East Gate Brigade sighed. "I always feel that when I'm with him, I seldom talk. I thought it was because he didn't like to talk, but now that I think about it, I really don't believe that people would be like this." "So, he couldn't talk to people, so he started talking to these bamboo slips," Hu'er said quietly, "I spent a lot of time reading the slips left by Xiong Lu, and only then did I know that he had There are a lot of things we don't know." "Oh?" Dongguan Lvqi asked, "Are there many things?" "Actually, have you ever wondered why Xiong Lu became so dissolute after being promoted to the king of Chu, and only likes to drink and have fun all day long?" "Maybe it's because you have climbed to the top of power all of a sudden, and you don't know how to adjust?" Dongguan brigade said with a wry smile: "After all, it is not easy to take charge of such a large state of Chu." "Of course this is one of the reasons," Hu'er looked at him thoughtfully, with a strange gleam in his eyes. "But if these words left by the Xiong couple are true, strictly speaking, he will become so perverted, but it has something to do with you and me!" "It's related to us?" The Dongguan Brigade was taken aback, and said in amazement: "Why is it related to the two of us again?" Hu'er grunted coldly, and picked out a bamboo slip from his side. "Let me read it to you. Listen, this is what Xiong Lu wrote on the ninth day after he took over as Queen of Chu: 'Damn! Damn! Damn! There are sixteen 'damn' written on this piece!") I am the king of Great Chu, don't these beasts know?Could it be that without Hu'er and Dongguan, would I not be able to get the throne? Destroy his nine clans!I want to destroy that bastard Nine Clans!How dare I discuss with others in private, saying that my throne was won by Hu'er and snatched from Dong Guan! This bastard actually dared to say that Dong Guan is the son of Du Ao, and he is more qualified to succeed King Chu than me. If I don't kill him, how can I get rid of the hatred in my heart? '" After reading this, Hu'er put down the bamboo slips, his eyes were cold. "The 'bastard' above is referring to the senior doctor Qu Shiping, who was originally a veteran minister who tried his best to protect Xiong Lu, but because someone with a heart spread a few rumors to Xiong Lu, Xiong Lu believed it, and then faked it. A few letters from abroad have beheaded old doctor Qu on the charge of treason." After a pause, he picked up another bamboo slip and began to read aloud according to the content on it. "'I am the most wise king in the world, but I hate these mediocre people but no one knows. And that tiger, who said he wanted to live for me and lay down his life for me, but in the end he didn't say a word, and went to the East China Sea with that damn Dongguan, and he didn't know what kind of shady business he was doing. As long as he dares to come back, I will definitely let him survive! ' 'hateful!hateful!He actually has the face to come back, ask him to do something for me, and dare to push back... I am the Lord of the Chu Kingdom, so what is the status of this bastard who dares to teach me that I can't change my mind and marry a lowly woman... Damn!This breed of dog is the same as that of Dongguan, so I want to rape all their women and see what they can do...'" After hearing such vicious words, the Dongguan Brigade couldn't help frowning. "It's better not to read it anymore? In short, as long as you know that he hates us very much, that's enough." Hu'er looked at him solemnly, but there was a sneer on his face. "He hates us, I'm afraid it's not that simple. I thought about it carefully, and I really found that the couple of bears almost took over all the women related to us. He knows that Bingrou really loves me, but he insists on being with her. He also knew that the singing girl Narcissus had a good relationship with me, but he also forcibly took her into the harem. Do you know why he wanted Dou Qingshuang to marry him?Just because he knew that Sister Jianyu wanted you to be with Dou Qingshuang back then, and also knew that Dou Qingshuang liked you in her heart, so he insisted on taking her as his own. In short, as long as it is our thing, he not only wants it, but also throws it away like a waste after occupying it a few times! That's how he treated Bingrou back then! Just because he always felt that he was inferior to us, he always had such hatred in his heart! "As Hu'er talked, his emotions became more and more angry." It was because of this that he had the heart to torture my body so badly, even cut off my penis, just because he not only wanted to occupy all my favorite things A woman, even my ability to like others in the future will be taken away! What kind of a demon is this?Why did we hang out with such demons in the past? " Under the dim light in the carriage, the Dongguan Brigade looked at Hu'er's angry expression with some trepidation, but couldn't tell for a while whether this man with out of control and distorted face was the former Hu'er, or the cruel Bear couple? Although at this moment in the body of Xiong Lu, the existing thoughts are tigers, but when one person's thoughts enter another person's body, how much of himself can he keep? During the long years that Hu'er has known Hu'er, the Dongguan Brigade has never seen Hu'er have such deep hatred. Even though he was beaten all over his body and his life was dying, it is still difficult to hear Hu'er's actions towards those bad guys. Such venomous words. It's just that at this moment, I heard Hu'er scolding again and again, and vaguely seemed to see the bear couple reappearing again. This kind of thinking made the Dongguan Brigade feel a little breathless for a while. Hearing Hu'er scolding again and again, he let out a long breath and felt that he wanted to breathe, so he turned his head and looked out of the car window. Seeing this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. "what?" I saw the scenery of the suburban mountains and forests outside the car window, and looked at the driveway, but it was not the path back to the Chu Palace. It turned out that before he knew it, the chariot had already left the city gate of Yingdu and was heading towards the mountainous area in the outskirts. "Hey, hey, hey!" Dongguan brigade turned to Hu'er and said hastily, "Aren't you going to the palace to discuss something? Why did your coachman go the wrong way and come to the mountain?" Hu'er smiled coldly, threw the bamboo slips on the ground casually, and stared at Dongguan Brigade with his eyes open. "Because I suddenly don't want to go to the palace anymore, and I feel disgusted at the thought of going back to the seat where the bear couple sat. Anyway, we haven't been to the mountains for a while, so you can accompany me to the Star Arrow Wasteland for a walk! " The chariot drove for a while, and it turned out that the path was heading to the Star Arrow Wasteland. Along the way, Hu'er kept his lips tightly shut, as if he was thinking about some important event, and rarely talked to the Dongguan Brigade. Dongguan Brigade sat quietly in the swaying carriage, and occasionally saw Huer's pensive expression when he turned his head as the carriage shook. No, that face actually belonged to Xionglu in his impression. It can be recalled that behind this handsome face is actually the lively, affectionate "unbeatable tiger". However, for some reason, the Dongguan Brigade began to feel that both Hu'er and Xiong Lu were far away from him. Along the way, there was such a quiet atmosphere, and after a while, the two of them had already arrived at the location of the Star Arrow Wasteland. After getting out of the car, the Dongguan Brigade looked around and was stunned by the scene in front of them. That day, the couple of bears detonated themselves in the decisive battle of the Star Arrow Wasteland. Although part of the explosive power was blocked by real people, thus saving the lives of the Dongguan Brigade and others, the power of this detonation was no small matter, and it still wiped out the entire Star Arrow Desert. A part of the field was blown up so badly that even a big hole was blown out at the top of the cave. But at this moment, the Xingjian Wasteland is full of tens of thousands of peasants, everyone is carrying earth and rocks under the clear sky, as if they are repairing something. The Dongguan Brigade took a closer look, only to find that countless earth and rocks had been piled up at the entrance of the Star Arrow Wasteland, and there were still many peasants beating there hard, as if they wanted to seal it all up. On the whole, it seems that what these peasants want to do is to fill the entire Star Arrow Wasteland between the earth and rocks. And since the entrance of the entire Star Arrow Wasteland has been sealed, the remaining Star Arrow Colossus inside is naturally also sealed inside.After the first battle that day, although a four-faced emperor, two gods and demons, a storm elephant, and Han Shimen's volley thunder were lost, after all, there are still many star arrow colossi remaining among them. If it is such a sealing method, then these huge machines that contain ancient secrets will be buried underground forever. Dongguan Luda was surprised, turned to look at Hu'er, but saw Hu'er's expression as usual, as if he was used to such scenes. "What... what is this for? Why did they seal up the Star Arrow Wasteland?" Dongguan Brigade asked in surprise: "Is this an order from you?" "Of course I gave the order," Hu'er said flatly, "Can't you?" "Of course not," the Dongguan Brigade shook his head. "It just feels a little weird." "Is it a bit strange?" Hu'er smiled proudly. "To me, it's not surprising to do this at all. On the contrary, I think this is the best way to deal with the Star Arrow Wasteland." The East Gate Brigade thought for a while, showing a puzzled expression. "I don't understand." "I can't blame you," Hu'er patted him on the shoulder, and said with a slight smile, "I didn't understand it at first, but now I understand it." "I still do not get it." Hu'er chuckled, and took the hand of the Dongguan Brigade to a nearby high slope. From here, one could overlook the entire project that was about to be buried in the Star Arrow Wasteland, but looking around, it was a beautiful piece of mountains and rivers in the state of Chu. . I saw that the weather that day was extremely clear, and after sweeping away the cloudy and drizzle of the day before yesterday, I saw the green mountains in the distance and the blue sky beyond the horizon. Suddenly, Hu'er let go of the Dongguan Brigade, walked up to a high slope proudly, and said loudly. "There are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and eagles travel thousands of miles. To govern a big country like Chu, it is not possible to rely on force alone. Who was the first to own the invincible Star Arrow Colossus?Not long ago, the entire state of Chu was still dominated by Dou Ziyu, not to mention the wasteland of the stars and arrows, even the entire army of the state of Chu was in his hands, but what do you think of his fate? Later, the Bear Couple also owned the entire Star Arrow Wasteland, and all the Star Arrow Colossi belonged to him, but how did he govern the entire country? It can be seen that a king who is able to dominate the world does not rely on invincible force, but on popular support, and relies on the ingenuity to stand up to the heroes of the world. Invincible force is only a tool, and the most important thing is to use these forces. people! If I want to fight the heroes of the time in the Central Plains, I only rely on the mighty soldiers of the Chu State. It is enough to fight a few small battles with just a few star and arrow colossi. A colossus can decide? Both Dou Ziyu and Xiong Lu had owned these Star and Arrow Colossi, but their fate was so ominous, so I made a decision not to use those Star and Arrow Colossi again. To achieve real achievements, one must rely on one's own ability. I don't want people in future generations to think that my hegemony depends on these ghosts and ghosts! " What he said was impassioned, but it also made sense. The Dongguan Brigade agreed with his statement very much, so he kept nodding to express his agreement with him. "If you can do this, it will be the luckiest thing for the people of Chu and the common people in the world," he said sincerely, "I hope you will work hard and become the greatest king in history!" Seeing that he agreed with his statement, Hu'er was overjoyed, so he laughed loudly. "I knew you were my good brother, but it is still not enough to achieve my hegemony. To cultivate my power, I have to fight for a long time. Therefore, I want you to help me, and I want you to work together for the hegemony of our Chu State! " Dongguan Brigade looked at him quietly, and after a long time, shook his head. "I know that you will make extraordinary achievements for the state of Chu, and I am also very happy to see you have such achievements. But to govern this country, I can't be with you. You should know my nature very well, right?I have never been interested in this kind of national affairs, and I am not very good at it. Therefore, other things may be fine, but it is not good to govern the country with you. " Hearing his answer like this, Hu'er looked a little gloomy. He stared at the Dongguan Brigade thoughtfully for a while, and then said in a deep voice. "You...you don't want to help me? Do you think that I don't give you enough? If I give you the position of Ling Yin of the country, you are not willing?" Dongguan Brigade shook his head. "My problem is not the size of the official position, but that I have no interest in such national affairs at all." Hu'er's expression was even more serious, he was silent for a while, and then he spoke quietly. "Is this really the case? Or do you still feel that Ling Yin's position is too small? Do you still think that you are the son of Du Ao back then? Do you want me to give you half of the Chu Kingdom before you are willing to stay?" The Dongguan Brigade was slightly taken aback, and was even more displeased with Hu'er's statement, so he said loudly. "If you say that, don't you underestimate my Dongguan brigade? Is the friendship between me and you only worth a high salary? Back then, you went to the Dragon Clan in the East China Sea with me through all difficulties. Did I want to do it for such a high official? Can you help me? If you look at me like this, don't you take me lightly?The reason why I don't rule Chu with you is because I have no ability or interest in this kind of thing, and I can't help you much by staying here. Am I the kind of person who pretends to threaten you? " Hu'er stared at Dongguan Brigade talking loudly and hurriedly. After listening for a while, he realized that what he said was indeed sincere, so he smiled. "Okay, okay, I blamed you, so don't be angry anymore, okay?" He smiled heartily: "Even if I said something wrong, I, the King of Chu, apologize to you, okay?" Hearing Hu'er say this, the Dongguan Brigade finally calmed down a bit, the two stared at each other for a while, and then burst out laughing with a "poof". This smile finally relieved the embarrassment for a while. After a while, Hu'er sighed: "It's just that! Since you insist on not governing this huge Chu country with me, how to arrange you will also hurt my brain!" The Dongguan Brigade smiled lightly, but his expression became a little uncomfortable. "I do not understand what you mean." Hu'er glanced at him thoughtfully, and after a while, he spoke slowly. "I want to ask you one thing." "What's up?" "I want to ask you, in the future, can your family members stop mentioning my original name? Can you tell them not to call me 'Hu'er' anymore? If I am still the original Hu'er today, no matter what you call me, it doesn't matter. It’s just that I’m now acting like Xiong Lu, and I’ve also taken over his position as King of Chu. If you use my old name again, it will make me very embarrassed. After all, only you and your family members know about this matter, but if it is accidentally leaked out, it may be of great importance..." Before he finished speaking, the Dongguan Brigade already knew his intentions, so he said coldly. "Got it, I'll let them pay attention, I won't embarrass you, I know what to do." Hu'er let out a long sigh, showing a look of helplessness. "Everything is just because I have become the king of Chu now, and there are many things that I can no longer be willful like ordinary people. I can't cry or laugh like ordinary people, just because I do something casually, it may affect thousands of ordinary people..." He muttered to himself in a trance, and he didn't know if he was talking to himself or to Dongguan Brigade, but Dongguan Brigade didn't answer any more, just listening to him silently. Later, the atmosphere between the two became even more embarrassing, as if something was wrong with what they said. Finally, Hu'er showed a tired expression, and waved to summon a few attendants. "Mr. Dongguan is also tired, take him back home to rest! I still have to think about things here." Dongguan Brigade smiled faintly, and looked at Hu'er calmly, but what he saw in his eyes was the figure of Xiong Lu. Several attendants led the Dongguan Brigade and walked towards the chariot parked on the mountain road. Hu'er turned around in a daze, and continued to look at the mountains and lands of Chu. Suddenly, without knowing why, his heart was shocked, and he turned his head to look intuitively, only to see the slender back of the East Gate Brigade mixed in among the ranks of attendants. At this moment, he jumped up, The body disappeared in the carriage. However, he never turned his head to look at Hu'er again. This was the last time Hu'er saw him in this life. Moreover, it is also likely to be the ending that Hu'er most hopes to appear in his heart. Because the love is too deep, but can't repay. Because the friendship is too strong, it is incompatible. Back then, Xiong Lu faced Hu'er, who had a deep kindness and great contribution, and could not repay him, so he could only choose to give him the most cruel torture and pain. Now, Hu'er is also facing the same kindness and great contribution from the Dongguan Brigade, but after all, Hu'er is different from Xiong Lu, so he can't repay him, but he can't bear to do anything harmful to him. It's just that as long as Hu'er is still the king of Chu, because of power entanglements, he may still have to face the situation of brothers killing each other. Therefore, never seeing each other forever may be the best ending for the two of them. In the Spring and Autumn Period, one of the Five Hegemons, King Zhuang of Chu, suddenly reborn three years after he ascended the throne. He changed from a foolish king who only knew debauchery and pleasure to a shrewd and powerful overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. , and following Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin, he became one of the greatest kings of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The reason is that it was said to Hu'er in the Star Arrow Wasteland Dongguan Brigade back then. "I hope you will work hard and become the greatest king ever!" Even though Hu'er never saw the Dongguan Brigade again in his whole life, as long as he was in charge of the military and state affairs, the greatest king in the history of the Chu Kingdom would always miss the mountain boy he met in the city of Yingdu when he was young. When Xiong Lu came to the throne as the king of Chu, he changed his name to "Shen" according to the ancestral system, but according to historical records, the name used by King Zhuang of Chu in the history books was "Lv" or "Lv" (in ancient Chu Among the characters, these two characters can be used in common), in fact, this is because Hu Er missed these two old friends who had a close relationship with him in his later years. Among the two names of Xiong Lu, one word is taken out as his name in official history.
