Chapter 36: It's Good to Die

It is said that Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor with the highest personal martial arts skills in history. It is difficult to verify whether it is true or not. The martial arts skills of someone who started out in the military would not be too bad. At least Xu Xian was more than a step behind him.

But Xu Xian can be sure that he must be the most talkative emperor. He hasn't stopped beating him since he arrived at the Xu family. Even though Du Shi kept wiping the blood on his face with a wet towel soaked in hot water, he still didn't stop talking.

"...I heard that the vanguard had entered the city, and my heart felt like it was on fire, because the Taiwei once said that they were allowed to loot the city for ten days. You know the character of these people, and my son and

My father is not... well, he is not at home, and the family is full of women and children. If some rebels break into the house, what should we do..."

"I explained it to the Taiwei immediately, and the Taiwei promised the child to return to the city quickly. As soon as the child arrived home, he saw the note placed in the hall, and knew... well, knowing that his family was all in Liuhe Bay, the second sister alone

Stuck outside...well..."

"...Brother Xu, he is really good at martial arts, especially with his quick feet, he was unable to cut him... Finally, I heard from the second sister that I found out that Hong Baoer's friend was entrusted by her mother to find her...

...Hmm...poof...the flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple, haha..."

Du Shi stretched out her hand and hit her son hard on the head, "Thankfully you didn't hurt brother Xian, otherwise I would have told my mother how to explain to Xiaocan."

It can be seen that the family atmosphere in the Zhao family is very harmonious and warm. Zhao Kuangyin, who is in his twenties and has been married for many years, actually asked his mother to wash his face without feeling ashamed at all.

Most people who grow up in such a family are cheerful and open-minded, and the dynasty they create will naturally be gentle but not cruel. On the other hand, like Lao Zhu, his whole family died when he was young, and he was forced to become a monk and beg for food and endured many hardships.

It's another empire with a different character.

"What mother said is that the child has not yet formally apologized to Brother Xu." He stood up from the stool and came to Xu Xian and bowed deeply, "Zhao is too blind to recognize good people, so he apologizes to brother, brother.

Despite the punishment, Zhao is willing to accept it without any hesitation."

Now that the words have come to this, Xu Xian is asked to punish him. Most of the anger in his heart has disappeared. Now that things have happened, his thighs have been hugged. If he lets go now, it will be easier for him. Of course, he will be arrogant.

You still have to take it, don't make him feel that you are being fooled.

"Pfft!" Xu Xian lifted his face out of the basin, wiped it clean with a towel slowly, and then leaned over to help Zhao Kuangyin up, "Brother Zhao is also eager to protect his sister. It is understandable that Xu will not

I'm arguing with you." After seeing his appearance clearly, I couldn't help but say, "You look familiar, as if I've seen him before!"

Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly and said: "No, I also saw that you look familiar. You were in the woods at Liuhe Bay last year!"

Xu Xian slapped his forehead, "So it's you!" Zhao Kuangyin turned out to be the soldier who was with Guo Wei and Chai Rong last year. It turned out that he had met three emperors at once that day. It was only because they were both outside just now.

His face was covered in blood, and given the darkness, he didn't even recognize it.

Zhao Kuangyin patted Xu Xian's shoulder vigorously, "When I saw you last year, your body was white and tender. It has only been just over a year that you have such good skills."

Hong Bao'er said: "Second brother doesn't know that in April this year Brother Xian was having a fight with an army of guardian saints, and he was easily killed. For this reason, he was almost beheaded by the military officer."

"That one is less than eight months old. Brother Xian must have some good tricks. Don't hide your secrets and teach me."

Xu Xian discovered that Zhao Kuangyin was not only a chatterbox, but also a familiar person. He was not like an emperor but looked like a Liangshan hero. Just now, he was fighting for his life with you, but in the blink of an eye, he could be called a brother.

It's not the kind of hypocritical politeness. You can really feel the sincerity and enthusiasm radiating from him. For a founding emperor, this is definitely an excellent quality. Especially in this era, there is no trust of soldiers and military academies.

With your support, who will make you the emperor?

There is that kind of person in this world that you unconsciously follow and support, but if you think about it carefully, this person has not brought you any real benefits. Instead, you yourself are helping him, and there are always benefits.

Never forget to think of him. Without him when working, I always feel that something is missing. This is the charm of a leader.

Zhao Kuangyin doesn't have this kind of charm yet, but it already has some meaning, but Xu Xian can't stand it.

Wow! Zhao Kuangyin tore off a strip of cloth from the hem and tied it around Xu Xian's neck. Seeing Xu Xian's face showing a slight look of sadness, he said, "Brother, if you don't let me wrap up your wounds, I'm sure

They are still blaming me. This is not my fault, brother. If I had made it clear at the time, there would have been no such misunderstanding."

Xu Xian doesn't mind him bandaging his wounds, but you should look for a cleaner one. I don't know how long I've been wearing this military uniform. When I tear it off, the strip of cloth becomes black and shiny. If I tie it around my neck, Xu Xian is afraid that it will break.

It's a cold.

"Second brother Zhao has misunderstood. I know a little about trauma rescue. It would be unsightly to bandage such a small injury, which is not conducive to the healing of scars."

Just look at the fart conference, Xu Xian has already led him to call himself his younger brother.

"Haha... That's it. I can't just talk about my apology to my brother without practicing my skills. This horizontal knife was just picked up in the yard, so it should be regarded as an apology to you."

"No need, my dagger is very easy to use!" Xu Xian has never practiced any weapons. It all depends on holding it in his hand for a long time and getting used to it. If he changes it, he will not be used to it.

"Your black cloud sword is good, but it is a broken weapon after all. This horizontal sword has some background."

"What's the origin?"

Zhao Kuangyin took out a few copper coins and put them in a stack, and struck them with a knife. The coins were immediately broken into two pieces. The fracture was neat, but the blade was not damaged at all. "This horizontal knife looks old, but it is actually handed down from the Tang Dynasty."

, it’s not comparable to the imitations in the military! Such a knife would cost at least 500 guan to be traded in the military, so it may not be possible to buy it!”

The forging craftsmanship of the Hengdao was lost due to the troubled times of the Five Dynasties. Instead, it was learned by the little Japanese, giving it the name of the Japanese sword.

"Five hundred swords!" Xu Xian could not have imagined that this seemingly ordinary knife would exceed all his belongings. The war was indeed a glutton for money.

Hong Baoer said: "Second Brother, why don't you leave such a good thing to me?"

"You are a scholar, what do you want a knife for?"

"Brother Xian is still a businessman."

Zhao Kuangyin said, "With my Xian skills, I will join the army sooner or later. Doing business is really too humiliating."

Du and He each came in with a bowl of noodle soup, "Don't talk about fighting and killing, Erlang, brother Xian, you haven't eaten for most of the day, please fill your stomach before going to bed."

Zhao Kuangyin took the bowl and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. The Taiwei will enter the city at 80% tonight, and the children will have to go to the tent to obey orders. It won't be peaceful these days, so you can stay at Brother Xian's house until the market calms down.

It’s not too late to go home.”

The night wind blew, and a few dead leaves rolled on Liuyun Street, making a slight sound when rubbing against the bluestone slabs. It was extremely lonely and desolate. The clatter of horse hooves broke the calm, and a small group of cavalry walked to Liuyun Street holding torches.

Stopped in front of a mansion.

The leading knight was Guo Wei. It had only been ten days since he received the news of his family's death. He was already very old. He turned to look at the closed door, but he did not dare to dismount.

When he returned from the last Western Expedition, a whole house of women and children knelt in front of the door to welcome him. The smiles on their faces were something Guo Wei would never forget.

Now, only one year has passed, and the house is empty. The crossed seals on the house door are stirring in his heart like sharp swords, causing endless pain.

After standing still for a long time, Guo Wei slowly dismounted his horse and staggered slightly. He didn't know who the pools of blood at the door belonged to, so he subconsciously walked around them.

He stretched out his hand to remove the seal on the door and pushed it in. A gust of cold wind poured into his collar, making him shiver. He quickly wrapped his cloak around himself and strode towards the flower hall.

Usually when he went home from the office, there would be children and grandchildren running towards him from the flower hall. Now what greeted him was only pools of black blood. He tried his best to dodge, but the bloodstains were everywhere, almost

Leave him nowhere to stay.

Madam Zhang and Madam Liu usually loved playing leaf plays with the servants in the living room, but now it was empty and empty. The sandalwood tables and chairs, the beautiful screens, and the beautiful porcelain were in someone's home.

After passing through the flower hall and arriving at the back house, it was all messy. Guo Wei held a torch and walked into the familiar rooms, but immediately exited. Just looking at the messy scene in the room and the distribution of blood stains, he could probably figure it out.

I can imagine what it was like when my loved ones died, and I can't bear to look at it any more.

A strong wind blew by, and the small wooden horse in the corridor swayed slightly and made a slight creaking sound. Guo Wei turned his head and looked around, choking and trembling: "Brother Liang, is that you? Grandpa is back.

I promised to take you riding."

No one responded to him, and the wooden horse gradually stopped shaking. Under the background of the torch, Guo Wei's eyes were filled with bright red tears, and he turned his head away suddenly and stopped looking at it. After taking two steps, his feet went soft, and he saw

It's a black and white spotted dog.

It was his beloved pet, but at this time the body was stiff and covered with dirty footprints. Guo Wei knelt down and stroked its fur as usual, "Hey... I won't even let a dog go!"

His voice was gloomy and somewhat scary.

A soldier came quickly with a torch, and when he arrived, he reported: "Taiwei, a palace guard has brought the emperor's head to present to the Taiwei."

Guo Wei turned around and asked: "The emperor is dead?"

"Those palace guards said that the emperor was killed by Guo Yunming, and that Su Fengji and Guo Yunming also committed suicide."

Guo Wei waved his hand and said: "Heavy reward! Go down!"

Seeing that the soldier had gone away, Guo Wei held the body of the flower dog in his arms and gently rubbed the dog's head with his chin. However, there was no trace of warmth on his face. Instead, it was full of ferocity, gnashing his teeth and making an inaudible sound.
