"If you don't want to make a living, please go the other way!!"
"If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door!"
Outside the wooden house, when Shi Qi, Gu Luan and other old men read out each word along with the words written by Bai Yan, everyone's eyes widened, their breathing became uncontrollable and they looked at each other. His eyes were full of shock.
If you are not a living person, please follow another path. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, do not enter this door!
The meaning contained in this short sentence made every 'everyone' who has always been familiar with the past and the present and well-read, at this moment, not only the complexion changed drastically, but also the soul couldn't help but tremble. .
The essence of the text is vividly displayed at this moment. It does not require too many words or too many explanations. One sentence speaks a thousand words and makes people feel sincere.
Quiet.
Those who fell silent at this moment were not only the old Confucian scholars who were no longer as calm as before, but also Zhao Qiu, Bao Tuo and others, and even the generals such as Huipu and Guan Shou, all looked at that man in confusion at this moment. A boy writing.
Why do you have the heart of Tao and how can you speak to the world?
One sentence is enough!
Even Mr. Wei, who was always arrogant, was a little dazed looking at the young man's back at this moment. After a few breaths, his eyes turned slightly red and he nodded with relief.
Although he was so lucky that he didn't see the wrong person, Mr. Wei couldn't help but sigh that it was no regrets for him as an old man to get this disciple!
Thinking of this, Mr. Wei turned his head calmly and looked at the expressions on the faces of his old friends. Looking at the trembling eyes of his old friends, Mr. Wei felt happy at this moment and stood with his hands on his back. , when looking at Xiang Bai Yan again, he slowly raised his hand to stroke his long beard.
Shi Qi, Gu Luan and others came to their senses and looked at Bai Yan. Naturally, they couldn't help but look at their old friend Wei Zhe.
When they saw the corners of their old friend Wei Che's mouth rising uncontrollably, if everyone wasn't blind, they wouldn't be able to see the pride in the old man's heart.
"Put these two boards on both sides of the road ahead! Tell all the boys here, and let all the boys remember it in their hearts! They must also remember that their fathers fought fiercely for this land and guarded this land with their blood. In the future, if anyone among them dares to dirty this land with his hands, no matter where he is or what his position is, he will be punished!"
Bai Yan threw the wet cloth aside, turned to the soldiers and gave instructions.
At the end of the sentence, he stared at the boys in front of him.
"promise!"
Several frontier soldiers stepped forward and saluted Bai Yan.
At this moment, in the eyes of all the frontier soldiers, looking at Bai Yan, they couldn't help but feel loyal. Maybe at this moment, Bai Yan asked them to kill themselves on the spot, and they wouldn't hesitate at all.
Soldiers are the soldiers of a country, but the first one related to soldiers in all aspects is always the general.
As far as the soldiers are concerned, there is nothing more heart-warming than a general who loves them, remembers them, and remembers them. Before coming to the Yunzhong Mountains, many soldiers actually thought that the general was preparing to train like the edict. As for the soldiers who died, they remembered the goodness of the general at that time, so they knew that if Erlang came, he might become a dead soldier in the future, and the only way out was death, but they still did not hesitate.
And when we come to the Yunzhong Mountains.
When you see the residence here with your own eyes, when you see the general smiling and begging to those Confucian scholars for the sake of his son, when you hear the words of the general's talents. At present, no soldier can remain indifferent.
Looking at the wooden house in front of me and those old Confucianists, in fact, in the hearts of all the frontier soldiers and generals, it is no longer important whether Erlang can get the teachings of these knowledgeable old Confucians.
The general's actions made them willing to die for the general without any regrets.
The sun was blazing.
However, the autumn wind approaching Bingdong seemed to blow away all the scorching heat, and the dense forest swayed, making the sound of mountains and rivers.
Bai Yan watched the soldiers work together to carry the plank away. He turned his head and saw the eyes of Elder Wei, Elder Shi and other old men. He smiled sheepishly and raised his hand to salute.
"After all, we must set clear aspirations and show off our ugliness in vain. I hope the elders won't be surprised!"
Bai Yan explained.
While they were talking and giving gifts, Bai Yan's embroidered robe had been torn open, and the tattered cuffs were still dangling by a corner. However, at this moment, no one felt that there was anything wrong in the slightest.
Shi Qi, Gu Luan and others turned their heads silently when they saw Bai Yan's appearance, but before leaving, they happened to see Mr. Wei and looked over.
While looking at each other, Mr. Wei saw Shi Qi's slightly complicated eyes and couldn't hold back anymore and started laughing.
"Hahaha! Let's go! Eat something, eat something, I'm already hungry!"
Mr. Wei knew not to be too proud, otherwise he would attract everyone's "same hatred", so he took the initiative to invite these old friends to eat with a smile.
Shi Qi and Gu Luan looked at each other, shook their heads, sighed, and followed Mr. Wei towards the wooden house.
Bai Yan, who was behind him, just turned around and saw Zhao Qiu walking by.
"Since you said these words, why are you still in Qin!"
Zhao Qiu's soft voice came, and if Bai Yan didn't have sharp ears, he wouldn't be able to hear it clearly.
Bai Yan looked at the back of Zhao Qiu walking towards the wooden house and smiled helplessly.
"Let's go! You go eat first, and I'll take them to arrange a place to stay!"
Bai Yan looked at Bao Shi and said softly.
Bao Shi looked at Bai Yan's eyes that refused to refute, and nodded. Bai Yan was very stubborn when it came to her matters, and Bao Shi was used to it.
But after taking two steps, Bao Shi stopped and turned around to look at Bai Yan, the soldiers on the side of Bai Yan, and the children. Looking at this scene, although the school behind him was very simple, Bao Shi was vaguely aware of the situation. I have a premonition that one day, sooner or later, I will be here.
Will be famous all over the world!
At the end of November, in Xinzheng City.
As the riot has passed for a long time, broken arrows and abandoned weapons are everywhere on the closed city gate, and corpses are lying in the city road.
Many men who were not even equipped with clothes and armor were sitting dejectedly under the city wall. From their expressions of hopelessness, you could clearly see that their eyes were full of despair.
There were no reinforcements, not even extra food and grass, and outside the city, as time passed, more and more Qin troops had gathered here.
"Dong dong dong dong~!"
At the top of Shencheng City, where the smoke and smoke from the fireworks were drifting away, suddenly, each man heard the sound of drums again, and they were all startled. Their cheeks turned white at this moment, and everyone stood up. .
After waiting behind him, he glanced outside the city and saw that the dark Qin army had quietly advanced in. Countless engineering ladders had all gathered outside the city.
The Qin army is about to attack again!
Think of this.
All the men in the city became desperate at this moment.
"Hold, guard them all for me. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
"Quick, pick up the crossbow! You have already rebelled against Qin. According to Qin's laws, your whole family will be implicated. I won't kill all your wives, children, and children! Qin will not let you go, so why not fight to the death!"
In the distance, some men wearing armor and holding sharp swords also saw this scene. When they saw those who were already timid, they started shouting angrily and kicked them. Many of their words mentioned their family members.
Unlike these men wearing armor, those without armor were actually residents of the city. They were captured here after the riots and were forced to rebel against the Qin Dynasty by threatening their families.
The men in armor, even if they knew that another large army of Qin had gathered outside the city, and Xinzheng didn't know how long they could hold on, they still would not let those people leave, because from the moment they rebelled against Qin, these people People who seek fame have no way out.
They are not stupid, and there is still a glimmer of hope for them to hold on for now. If the city is destroyed, they will only die.
Moreover, the nobles were not worried. If they persisted, reinforcements from Wei and Chu would arrive.
"kill!!"
"kill!!!"
There were screams of killing one after another outside the city. In the eyes of all the rebels on the city road, they only saw well-trained Qin army formations, slowly moving forward.
Seeing this scene, almost everyone had experienced it several times before, and now they all picked up their shields or hid in the corners of the city wall.
Sure enough, there was a faint whistling sound the next moment, and dense arrows came like a mountain. Countless men were holding shields, and accidentally fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. Then more than ten arrows were inserted into their bodies, and the screams were almost The moment it came out, it disappeared in the rain of arrows.
Listening to the sound of drums outside the city, in the gaps, each rebel looked at the rows of well-trained Qin troops outside the city. At a glance, they saw the Qin army in darkness.
At this moment, not to mention the trembling hands and feet of the common people, even the 'chivalrous men' wearing armor were all trembling slightly at this moment.
However, the rebels on the top of the city didn't know.
As the Qin army quickly attacked the city, countless Qin troops swarmed to the bottom of the city tower.
Just below the city tower, suddenly several men with swords came from the corner. Before some knights in armor could react, they killed them from behind.
"Who are you?"
"Kill them quickly, quickly!!"
After some of the remaining armored rangers reacted, they started fighting with these sudden civilian men.
Seeing the blood splattering, the rangers who supervised the battle fell to the ground and became corpses. The other people holding weapons and guarding the city gate all looked at this scene at a loss.
"If you don't leave now, the Qin army will already be approaching the city! If you stay, you will die! If you leave, there is still a chance of life!"
A man said to the people.
And just aside, the armored ranger who had just shouted angrily for the people to take action had been slashed to the ground by the quick man, and then stabbed to death with random knives. As the blood flowed out, as the knives fell, the body was pulled out several times and then No movement.
The people who had been forced to come here looked at each other when they saw this scene. They thought of the Qin army outside the city and saw that no one was stopping them from going back. So they all looked at each other. Driven by instinct, no one could Wanting to stay here, they ran towards their homes.
Before a disaster, whenever there is a way to survive, it is human instinct to hide.
"Open the door!"
The leading man breathed a sigh of relief after seeing those people escaping, and then ordered.
Upon hearing this, the other men dropped their sharp knives and stepped forward to open the city gate.
In an instant.
Countless Qin troops outside the city saw the city gate open and looked at the men standing by the city gate. They all knew that these men had opened the city gate, so they rushed into the city without hurting these men. Fighting towards the city road, everyone wants to get the head of a traitor who is wearing armor and looks like a young general.
That's military merit. As long as you cut off the head of an enemy general, you can get a title, farmland, and servants in the future.
After a while.
"My lord, my lord, it's not good, the city gate has been lost, and the Qin army has invaded Xinzheng!"
In a mansion, a servant hurried to the pavilion and reported to Han Yi and other old men, his expression full of panic.
"What?"
Han Yi's old and fat face looked at the ground in front of him and shook his head in panic.
"What should I do now?"
"Yes! What should we do now?"
Not only Han Yi, but also an old man in silk clothes, his face was full of panic when he heard the servant's words.
Rebellion is doomed to death.
"Yi Lao! Right now"
Amidst the discussion, an old man stepped forward and bowed his hands to Han Yi. They all followed Han Yi in the uprising. Now that the uprising has failed, they must decide as soon as possible what to do now.
"Hide first, and after the incident is over, leave Xinzheng, stay in Wei, and wait for the opportunity!"
Han Yi didn't understand why there was no news about Mr. Shen, but now that the city gate had been breached, it was no longer suitable to stay here for a long time, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.
Fortunately, their tribesmen have already migrated to Wei State. As long as they escape this disaster, they will not worry about the day they will rise again.
"Okay! Let's go! Let's go!"
"Yes, get out of here first!!"
Many old men heard Han Yi's words and nodded in response. In the past, Shen Mansion was very safe, but now with the uprising, many rangers know about this place. After the city gate was breached, the Qin army pressed for a while, and it was not difficult to find out about this place. It's already very dangerous here.
In the yard.
The children of the noble clan have been waiting for a long time. Apparently they were ordered to be here by the elders of their respective clans very early.
After seeing Yi Lao and others arriving, each of the gentry disciples breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left with them.
Under the guidance of the servants of the mansion, carriages slowly came to the door of the backyard of the mansion and stopped. In this alley, which was always very quiet, no one was worried about being discovered.
"Come on, get in the carriage!"
As the old men talked, they quickly stepped onto the carriage, wishing they had two more legs. The calmness they had in the past no longer existed.
But at this moment.
Some young nobles were anxiously waiting for the old man to get on the carriage, and when they left immediately, suddenly, the old man who was the first to get on the carriage screamed.
The sudden scene caught everyone's attention, and then everyone saw with their own eyes that old men vomited blood and slowly fell from the carriage, while men holding daggers suddenly walked out of the carriage.
Han Yi was also standing on the carriage at this moment. He didn't dare to move his fat old face. He felt the coldness on his neck. Han Yi's forehead was covered with sweat. He was afraid that the man in front of him would kill him in the next moment.
"Who are you?"
Han Yi looked at the man in front of him with a puzzled expression.
Following Han Yi's words, a man with a sharp sword walked up and down the alley.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
A son of a noble clan, relying on his physical strength, had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he drew his sword directly, thinking that he could rely on his martial arts to kill the people in front of him and break out of the encirclement when the time came.
Seeing this, the other two noble men also bumped into the man, pulled out their swords, and wanted to help him. However, they took two steps away and suddenly covered their necks, looking at the blood-stained needle in their hands, and felt dizzy. Dizzy, he slowly knelt on the ground. After shaking for a while, his body stopped breathing.
However, the noble boy who was the first to draw the sword also fought with those men at this time. When the two men fought back, he was stabbed in the neck with a dagger and died tragically.
Everyone looked at this scene with increasing horror.
Han Yi naturally saw it too.
At this moment, when Han Yi looked at the man in front of him again, he still didn't know where he came from.
"Let's attack together!"
Han Yi said with a look of confusion.
Han Yi didn't understand. Looking at the current situation, Qi Martial Arts was already in the city, so why didn't he help them? Could it be that Tian Ding knew about them?
Thinking of this, he suddenly understood something. Han Yi's old face was startled and dull, his expression became more and more desperate, and he finally understood that Qi Martial Arts would be here.
Suddenly there was a scream behind him, but Han Yi did not look away. When Han Yi's eyes flashed with fear, as if he saw something, his pupils shrank, and then he felt a sharp pain in his neck. Along with the coldness, Han Yi could only It feels like the world in front of you is spinning.
While spinning, Han Yi seemed to see his old friends and his disciples dying tragically on the ground one after another.
An hour later.
Following the sound of horse hooves, the Qin soldiers holding sharp swords came to this quiet alley.
The Qin general who led the horseback was Yang Xiong.
When Yang Xiong saw the corpses on the ground, all without heads, his brows furrowed on his burly face, and he looked around with confusion.
Yang Xiong didn't understand. It stands to reason that among the Qin army, he was the first to enter the city, and he was the only one who knew the hiding places of the nobles. Although it would take some time to search those hidden places and delay a moment, it would not There may be a Qin general who is faster than him.
Looking at the decapitated corpses, Yang Xiong was puzzled. He didn't know who else could be faster than him.
Suddenly, Yang Xiong suddenly recalled what his father had said.
In the past, the Zhang family in Xinzheng City seemed to be manipulated by a force. Even the Qin State could not find out the force behind it after a long investigation.
"Could it be this force again?"
Yang Xiong frowned and looked at the headless corpses of Han Yi and his men in the distance.
In the war-torn Xinzheng City, as the rebels on the city wall were killed one after another, Qin soldiers were everywhere in the city searching for the rebels.
And in the city guard's mansion.
Lord Changping, who had just entered Xinzheng City, along with officials such as Cui Yan, the governor of Yingchuan County, and Gouze, the magistrate of Xinzheng City, were talking when they saw Yang Xiong arriving.
"How about General Yang?"
Lord Changping asked. As a general, Lord Changping naturally knew that Yang Xiong was leading people to arrest those nobles who were plotting rebellion.
In the eyes of several people, just when Cui Yan and others thought that Yang Xiong had caught someone, even Gou Ze had a smile on his face, thinking of finding an opportunity to congratulate Yang Xiong tonight.
Unexpectedly, everyone saw Yang Xiong shaking his head.
Seeing Yang Xiong's appearance, it was said that Gou Ze and Cui Yan were surprised. Even Lord Changping couldn't help but look at Yang Xiong in surprise.
"Is there something unexpected?"
Lord Changping asked with a frown.
After vaguely sensing where Xianyang was, or sensing Ying Zheng's plan, just before entering the city, he ordered that all city gates be guarded and no one in the city was allowed to leave Xinzheng without permission.
There's no reason why Yang Xiong couldn't catch those rebellious nobles!
If those nobles were allowed to escape, Lord Changping's expression became more solemn as he thought of the consequences and the actions that would take place in Xianyang. He had already thought of getting rid of Han Wangan. There must be no accidents here in Xinzheng.
"Back to Lord Changping, when the general arrived, the man had already been killed!"
Yang Xiong handed over his hand to report.
Under Changping Jun's doubtful eyes, Yang Xiong truthfully reported to Changping Jun that Han Yi and others were killed. After thinking about it, he finally expressed his suspicion.
However, what surprised Yang Xiong was that Lord Changping seemed to be relieved after hearing his speculation, and then shook his head uncharacteristically.
"There is no evidence for this matter yet, so we can't report it to Xianyang rashly!"
After Changpingjun said this, he looked at Goize.
"I think it's better for Goucheng Ling to lead the investigation first!"
Lord Changping opened his mouth and ordered.
"promise!"
Hearing this, Gou Ze quickly raised his hands to Lord Changping and accepted the order.
Afterwards, Lord Changping seemed to not want to talk about this matter anymore, and looked at Cui Yan, who continued to focus on how to deal with Han Wangan.
When Yang Xiong saw this, he could only hand it over, and then he was a little confused as to why Changping Jun didn't let him lead someone to investigate. After all, he was the one who raised the suspicion.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiong couldn't help but look at Gou Ze, but found that Gou Ze was not surprised at all. Gou Ze even gave him a reassuring look after seeing his gaze.
