The night falls on the starry river, and the moonlight pours into the earth like water.
In a small courtyard in Puzhou...
After every war, Hongjian must move with the large troops, and he must always be alert to unknown dangers.
In the past few days, Hongxuan's weak heartbeat was beating very fast, like an early warning. He suspected that he must have been discovered.
A strong boy took advantage of the moonlight to climb over the courtyard wall and came to Hongjian's small courtyard.
He looked nervous. He used to admire this man because Hongjian always fought first and was not afraid of death. But now he has turned into a monster and practiced an evil skill. He is no longer human or ghost. , also likes to suck blood.
"come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of Hongjian's house opened wide. There was a gloomy wind here, and there was no light in the house. Coupled with the cold moonlight, he seemed to have arrived in the legendary Fengdu.
"Zhu Youyu has met his uncle!"
After all, he was someone who had seen fighting on the battlefield. Seeing this scene, he quickly calmed down and gave a big salute to the room.
"Oh, Zhu Wen's son?"
A pale hand penetrated the darkness and grasped the threshold. Hongjian, with blood still remaining at the corner of his mouth, poked his head out.
This scene was like a fierce ghost coming out of its cage, making Zhu Youyu's pupils shrink. The next moment, Honghuan wiped the corners of his mouth, and his face was not as scary as before.
The handsome Hongjian in white robe appeared in front of Zhu Youyu. He knew that this man was good at riding and shooting since he was a child, and he would fight with Zhu Wen in the future.
Zhu Youyu was brave and good at fighting in history, and he was kind to others and won the hearts of soldiers.
Unfortunately, he had a tragic fate and died of illness in 904 AD. This also led to Zhu Wen's hesitation in passing the throne, and eventually father and son, and brother, killed each other.
Zhu Youyu breathed a sigh of relief at this appearance of Hongjian. He was very polite and first expressed his father's admiration and love for Hongjian. He hoped that he would go and see him if he had time.
"Zhu Wen asked a seven-year-old child to deliver a message?"
Hongjian held his wrist with his hand. Although he had never studied medicine, he was still good at detecting the internal force in the human body.
Zhu Youyu looked nervous, aware of the internal forces raging in his body. He felt that breathing was becoming more and more difficult, and he was about to die.
Fortunately, Hongjian only made a simple inspection and noticed something strange about Zhu Youyu. He let go of his hand, and Zhu Youyu, who had regained his life, exhaled loudly. This gentleman was so terrifying. The breath went straight to his heart as soon as it entered his body. Fortunately, Hongjian took it back immediately.
This child has reached the star level at the age of seven. He is really a talented person. Hong Yuan's face was kind: "At this point in the night, there must be anything else, right?"
"Yes! I sincerely ask you, sir, to accept me as your disciple. I am willing to follow you and serve you at any time."
Before Hongjian could refuse, Zhu Youyu had already knelt down and kowtowed three times for him. This move made Hongjian dumbfounded. He could still force him to become a disciple, but he had nothing to do anyway. It would be nice to have someone to chat with. .
Seeing that Hongjian did not refuse, he looked happy and called "teacher" slightly nervously.
Looking at the dense night, Hongjian told him to come back tomorrow. Zhu Youyu knew that this night would be inconvenient, so he immediately nodded, leaned over and evacuated the place.
After Zhu Wen learned the news, he was overjoyed. With the relationship of his son, Hongjian can be regarded as half of his own family.
In 878 AD, the rebel army was in an unfavorable situation and was defeated in several battles. Huang Chao was very frustrated, so he went to the Tianping Army to beg for surrender and ordered Huang Chao to be the right guard general.
Hongjian taught Zhu Youyu that in everything, life should be the main priority.
Zhu Youyu couldn't believe these words coming from Hongjian's mouth. You were brave and not afraid of death back then, but now you tell me that you should cherish your life.
He also taught Zhu Youyu how to avoid his sharp edges and be good at hiding himself, because a strong person will be besieged by everyone, including enemies and his own people.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Zhu Youyu's forehead. The teacher's words seemed to be talking about King Huang, and also seemed to be talking about himself.
If someone in the rebel army wants to rebel, then his father is the most likely. He didn't understand why Zhu Wen let him get close to Hongjian in the first place, but now he understands.
It was his relationship that tied Hong Yuan to his own chariot. Although this relationship was very unstable, it was enough to have a guarantee. Moreover, Zhu Wen sent a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to strengthen Hong Yuan. strength.
Huang Chao, who was so anxious, naturally did not notice the dissent of his men. He estimated that the different orders among the feudal towns were not enough to threaten him, so he rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.
The army that killed Hongyan was no longer as pure as it was before. In the end, it was said in the army that "if you encounter Confucians, kill them, and the army will be destroyed." Hong Jian also persuaded Huang Chao not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. If he does this again If they continue to be killed, the people will lose their support.
Huang Chao listened to the advice and restrained his desire to kill, but the hermit Zhou Pu completely angered him, calling him a thief, and another wave of heads fell to the ground.
Honghuan sighed secretly, the situation is irreversible.
In 880 AD, Huang Chao's army invaded Luoyang, and the imperial court had no soldiers to suppress the bandits. The emperor Li Zhang ordered unscrupulous people to secretly bury the Longquan treasure in advance, and asked the unscrupulous commander Yuan Tiangang to take care of the Longquan Sword. The unscrupulous commander predicted that the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed. , the yellow thief was unstoppable, so he had to entrust the Longquan Sword to Lu Youjie and Uncle Yang, and temporarily dismissed the bad guys.
He arranged for these bad people to lurk in major feudal towns and major gangs for the purpose of making a comeback in the future.
And he became the owner of the Hidden Soldier Valley, planning and operating here, waiting for the opportunity. At the end of this year, Huang Chao captured Chang'an.
Huang Chao rides in a golden car, and the guards all wear embroidered robes and have their hair tied with red cloth.
His followers followed in bronze chariots, followed by hundreds of thousands of knights. They entered the capital from Chunming Gate and climbed to the Taiji Hall. Thousands of palace ladies knelt down to greet him, calling him "The Yellow King."
Huang Chao was overjoyed: "This is God's will!"
Huang Chao lived in Tian Lingzi's house. When he saw the poor, he gave them money.
Shang Rang also said to everyone, "King Huang is not like Tang Ting who doesn't cherish you. Everyone, please feel at ease and don't panic."
Just a few days later, they started looting and plundering the people. They tied and whipped the people and demanded their property, which was called "Taobao".
The wealthy families were all kicked out, and the thieves and generals found luxurious houses to live in, and competed to kidnap other people's wives and daughters for their rape.
If caught, all officials will be killed.
Countless houses were set on fire, and no one in the imperial clan was left alive.
Chang'an was massacred, and Hong Yuan was finally moved. He could feel his heart beating, because he was still a human being. For this reason, he had a big fight with Huang Chao. Huang Chao sighed. He didn't know the tragic situation in Chang'an.
Huang Chao could control himself, but he couldn't control others. Seeing this, Hongjian said goodbye to Huang Chao, allowing him to repay his kindness in the future.
Hongjian walked out of the blood-stained Chang'an and walked aimlessly on the scorched earth. The killings caused by this troubled world had already made him numb. He thought he was not a good person, but when he saw this scene of corpses everywhere, , he will still be heartbroken.
It's not that he is very compassionate, it's just that his heart is still beating. Maybe at this moment, Hongjian integrated into the world.
Before leaving, Hongjian left a letter for Zhu Youyu, which was filled with his insights on life. He believed that if they were destined to meet again, the two of them would meet again.
