376 What is the meaning of cause and effect (Second update!)
In front of the flowers and under the moon, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
A scholar was shaking the folding fan in his hand and singing to the moon.
"The moon hangs in the sky for nine days, the leaves are fluttering in the gentle breeze, the beautiful woman with wine falls beside me, the cherry blossoms are flying in the love clouds..."
On the grass beside him, there was a square table with fresh fruits and wine neatly placed on it. A beautiful woman was sitting next to the square table, covering her mouth and smiling softly.
That woman looks very much like the princess in her previous life, and this scholar is also Xiao Fan's current life.
In this life, Xiao Fan is a down-and-out poor scholar, rich in economics, talented, and knowledgeable. However, he has been unlucky. He has been successful in several exams, but all due to the corruption and darkness of the officialdom.
But this woman was the daughter of a wealthy family. The family had been in business for generations and was as rich as the country.
But unfortunately, these two fell in love.
If we don't make mistakes, what awaits them is a beating of mandarin ducks, a miserable ending.
A few years later, the scholar was beaten to death by an evil slave in the woman's family, and the woman cut her wrists to die in love, leaving her as a pair of desperate mandarin ducks.
Life will be unsatisfactory nine times out of ten.
Xiao Fan's reincarnations have been filled with triumphs, frustrations, brilliance and darkness.
He has been an emperor, a pickpocket, a rich man, and a slave.
Even the lives of birds and animals have been experienced countless times.
But reincarnation after reincarnation, there is a certain connection with each other.
It seems that that sentence really comes true...
The cause of the past life, the result of this life!
The causes planted in the previous life have become the results obtained in this life, and they complement each other without any deviation.
Xiao Fan gradually felt the power of cause and effect and realized the truth of cause and effect in his reincarnations.
Cause is the cause and effect is the result.
No matter you do something, it is the cause, and the consequences it will bring are countless, and they will all change differently due to different causes.
The effects brought about by the cause may be born in this life, or may appear in the next life, but they are all within the underlying rules of cause and effect, which cannot be escaped or rewritten.
This little bit of enlightenment and understanding is gradually accumulated and understood in countless reincarnations and countless lives.
Until...the nine hundred and ninety-ninth reincarnation!
In this reincarnation, Xiao Fan is a young man from a wealthy family.
He saw with his own eyes that the family was prosperous and prosperous, but not long after, the patriarch offended the senior officials in the court and was persecuted. The entire huge family was completely ruined almost overnight.
The young master who originally had no worries about food and clothing was reduced to an ordinary citizen, but without any skills, he could only rely on his body that was better than ordinary people and a little bit of Kung Fu he learned from playing in his youth to make a living by sneaking into an escort agency.
This day was the first time that Xiao Fan followed the escort car and escorted the escort.
The goods are ten boxes of gold and silver jewelry, which are said to be betrothal gifts that a certain prince wants to give to the current princess!
This escort trip is no small matter!
"Hey, Xiao Xiao, you can do it. Not long after I joined the escort agency, I caught up with such a big escort. I have been in the escort agency for ten years. The most expensive one was just to escort dozens of cars of salt.
To be honest, there are ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. You don’t have to own them. Even if you look at them, you will feel that you will die without regrets!” A middle-aged bodyguard smiled and patted Xiao Fan on the shoulder.
"Come on, Uncle Cao, can't you say something nice? Don't mention the word death, you know we are most taboo about this!" Xiao Fan rolled his eyes. To be honest, when his family was prosperous, he didn't have gold, silver and jewelry.
It's so rare that it's long gone.
But he was extremely nervous.
Ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry! Even if they were taken out, they could pile up into a small mountain. It would be enough to buy a larger city!
If the news of such an expensive escort trip leaks out, I am afraid it will arouse the concern of many people.
You know, as long as you can rob this escort, you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life!
For money, people will forget fear and give up their lives, absolutely red eyes!
What about the prince’s betrothal gift? Even the emperor’s finances can still be robbed!
"Haha, don't worry, our Weiyuan Escort Agency is a century-old brand, and the people who escort the escorts this time are all very skilled. Those thieves, as long as Li Laoyuan sees the flag of our Escort Agency, they will
We ran away with our tails between our legs, who would dare to hit our swords with the ambition of a leopard?" Cao Biao said with a disdainful curl of his head.
"I'm not as optimistic as you!" Xiao Fan always had an ominous premonition.
"Haha, it's nothing. Don't worry, the young escort master and the others will accompany you on this escort trip!" Escort Cao said, pursing his lips.
Xiao Fan looked over and saw a handsome young man with a dignified appearance, bulging temples and a glowing face, helping a beautiful woman with a big belly to sit on the sedan.
"Then...that big-bellied woman is also coming with you?" Xiao Fan opened his mouth.
"Hehe, you don't know about this, right? The new one is clueless!" The escort leader Cao said with a smile: "That's the wife of the young escort master. Although she is pregnant, she is also a good hand with hidden weapons.
Amazingly, together with the invulnerable young escort master who practices gold bell cover and iron cloth shirt, he is also ranked among the top three in the world!"
"My dear, are you so powerful?" Xiao Fan stuck out his tongue and followed the escort leader Cao obediently.
As the wheels turned, several carriages drove slowly, followed by nearly a hundred people, chatting and laughing, following on both sides of the carriages. The big flags of the Weiyuan Escort Agency were fluttering in the wind, making the scene full of pomp.
The journey of this escort is 800 miles, and it takes more than half a month to walk over mountains and ridges. He eats the wind and drinks the dew, and is always on guard. In the first few days, Xiao Fan felt fine, but as time went by,
Starting to feel tired.
The eleventh day of escorting the escort car.
The convoy entered a place called Huangfengling.
It is an uninhabited area with a radius of hundreds of miles, with forests and mountains everywhere.
"Everyone, please cheer up. Huangfengling is one of the most dangerous places. As long as you pass by here and walk a few dozen miles, there will be a small town. By then, everyone can have a good rest!" Cao Biaotou stood at the head.
shouted loudly from the front.
"Okay, Boss Cao, do you think there are any brothels in that small town? You can still go there and enjoy yourself! Hahaha!"
"A brothel? Of course there is. It is said that the girls there are so tender and delicate that they can squeeze out water with just a pinch. I am afraid that you will be squeezed dry by those naughty girls and will not have the strength to protect the escorts! Haha!" Mr. Cao is a vegetarian.
Buji joked.
"Really, why are you still making such dirty jokes?" From the sedan at the end, the voice of the young escort's wife came from the scolding voice: "You don't know how to say anything good, and you have ruined my inner feelings.
How can I treat the baby?"
"Haha!" Everyone laughed together.
At this moment, a column of smoke suddenly rose into the sky in the dense forest not far in front of the motorcade.
Immediately, ‘Whoosh! Whoosh!’ Several arrows, mixed with the sound of breaking through the air, were fired towards the convoy!
"No! Be careful, there is an ambush!" Cao Biaotou's expression changed, he pulled out the simple knife from his waist, pulled out a few sword flowers, and chopped off several arrows!
Immediately afterwards, everyone stood ready and displayed all kinds of weapons to resist the arrows.
However, several people were accidentally hit by arrows. Their faces suddenly turned dark, foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground.
"The arrows are poisonous!"
"Who are you? How dare you attack the escort team of our Weiyuan Escort Agency? How dare you be fooled by your ambition? If you are wise, please come out and die!" Upon seeing this, the escort leader Cao became furious and shouted loudly.
"Humph, we don't dare to touch the escort car of Weiyuan Escort Bureau?" A cold laughter came from the woods: "We know that this escort car is a betrothal gift given to the princess by the prince, which is quite satisfying.
Ten big boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry!”
"Oops, did the news leak out?" Everyone's expressions changed involuntarily.
Immediately, thousands of people rushed out of the woods with shouts and surrounded the escort vehicle!
"Who are you from? Don't you know that the escorts from Weiyuan Escort Agency are untouchable?" Before Escort Cao could speak, the young escort leader, riding a tall, snow-white horse, shouted sharply.
"Hey, don't be stupid, what can Weiyuan Escort Bureau do? These are not ten boxes of cabbage, let them go if you say let them go!" The leader of the gangster group laughed: "Ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry! It's enough for brothers.
We can enjoy it endlessly and have no worries about food and clothing!"
"As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Even if it is for these treasures, no matter how powerful your Weiyuan Escort Agency is, we will give it a try!"
"Young escort master, these bandits don't seem to belong to the same group, they seem to be a gathering of many forces!" escort chief Cao said with some worry.
"We have no choice but to fight!" The Young Escort Master waved his arms and said: "All brothers, listen, you must guard this escort and don't destroy the signboard of our Weiyuan Escort Agency!"
"Yeah, let's fight them!"
The two sides didn't need to waste any more words at all, and they started fighting together.
The swords flashed and the shouts shook the sky.
One by one, people who were alive just now turned into cold corpses one after another in the melee.
Killing...
Melee...
Xiao Fan was caught in the middle, looking at this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned.
It seems... I have experienced many similar scenes like this...
But...why do I feel this way?
"Fool, what are you doing standing there? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Captain Cao saw Xiao Fan dazed there and quickly knocked down several bandits and ran to his side.
"Pounce!" Before Battou Cao's hand could touch Xiao Fan's skirt, a long knife penetrated Battou Cao's chest.
"Hurry... run away... these... these people... are too powerful..." Bouncer Cao shook his head and body a few times, and finally put his hand on Xiao Fan's shoulder: "I can't protect... I can't protect you..."
"General, this battle... we have lost. Hurry, go and protect the princess and escape through the back door. The princess must not make any mistakes, otherwise even if the entire army of Zhou's tiger and wolf army is annihilated, our reputation will be ruined!"
I don’t know why, but this voice sounded in Xiao Fan’s mind!
But in front of him, Cao Biaotou, who was slowly falling down and his life was passing quickly, was vaguely superimposed with a man he had never met before, wearing a soldier's uniform!
"No..." Xiao Fan completely collapsed. He knelt on the ground and brushed his trembling hands over the cold face of escort Cao...
At this time, the surrounding area was already filled with killings, and the pungent smell of blood enveloped this area...
