Chapter 216: If there is an afterlife to gain wealth
Watching Liu Yu's figure gradually disappear from the door, the smile on Xie Xuan's face gradually dissipated. He waved his hand, and several guards in black appeared from nowhere. After saluting, they closed the door and soon
, inside the hut, there were only a few dancing flames on the candlesticks, reflecting the faces of the two siblings.
Xie Daoyun curled up his lips: "If Liu Yu wants to achieve something in the Blacksmith Camp, you should not suppress his enthusiasm. This is not just about blacksmithing, maybe he will revolutionize the combat mode of our entire Jin army."
Xie Xuan shook his head: "Even if he comes up with a sword that can cut iron like clay, so what? Can the infantry not use spears but just rely on big blades to cut all the way through? I don't believe it anyway."
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "Would you believe it if it were a tiger troop attacking all the way like this?"
Xie Xuan frowned slightly: "But how many tiger troops can the entire army have? Even Liu Laozhi said that for one hundred thousand Beifu, five hundred tigers could come out. Among the five thousand men of his, who could really be invincible?
There are only a few hundred people who are afraid of death and march forward loudly!"
Xie Daoyun nodded: "Liu Yu is obviously among these five hundred people. Haven't you noticed? He has a very strange trait. After people have been with him for a long time, they will unconsciously agree with his ideas and even be willing to
Give him your life."
Xie Xuan murmured: "Could this be the legendary aura of overlord?"
Xie Daoyun pointed at his eyes: "I think that I have practiced the art of judging people for so many years, so I can't be wrong. When I look at Liu Yu today, he already has a vague aura of an emperor. Maybe, he will be ours."
The Xie family’s wealth is guaranteed for hundreds or even thousands of years in the future!”
Xie Xuan's expression changed: "Seriously?"
Xie Daoyun's expression became extremely serious: "Why did you ask me to come to Guangling as your husband? Isn't it just to see Liu Yu's appearance? From Miaoyin's wife's point of view, this has been settled a long time ago. There is no need for me to do this.
Let’s test Liu Yu again. If Liu Yu is really likely to become the Ninth Five-Year Master in the future, I’m afraid all our future plans and arrangements will have to be changed.”
After coming out of the Marshal's Mansion, Liu Yu let out a long breath. He experienced the transformation from hell to heaven. The ups and downs of this life were really exciting. At least, today he found out the true thoughts of the Xie family and no longer had to worry about it.
The worry that Miaoyin would marry someone else, which had been worrying me these days, was finally let go.
Wang Miaoyin's peerless face disappeared from Liu Yu's eyes, but Shui Sheng's face came to his mind again. Liu Yu felt sad in his heart. He had not visited Shui Sheng once since he was buried. It was not for other reasons.
, I really don’t dare to face this child who regards me as my only support.
But things that I dare not face will eventually be faced, just like the meeting with my future mother-in-law that I have been afraid of countless times, but it still came today. Maybe it is time to apologize to Shui Sheng.
Liu Yu bought some wine and meat from a small restaurant on the street, which cost him the little money he had. He brought four side dishes wrapped in lotus leaves and a small bucket of Yanghe, Shuisheng's favorite drink in the past.
After drinking wine, we left the city and headed west, towards the cemetery.
The sun gradually sets, and the howls of wild dogs and jackals begin to echo in the dense forests. Away from the bustling cities and villages, the outside world is so empty, and in this newly built cemetery,
Hundreds of new graves were built, all of which were soldiers who died in training and battles since the founding of the Beifu Army. Together with Shui Sheng, they were laid to rest on the land where they had shed their blood and sweat.
Liu Yu searched for half an hour before he found Shui Sheng's grave bag. His eyes gradually became moist, and he opened the four lotus leaf bags in his hand. The smell of wind chicken and soy sauce mutton was in this graveyard.
It spread, mixed with the smell of Yanghe wine, and attracted some wild dogs outside the cemetery. But probably these beasts were also afraid of Liu Yu, a big man, so they just lay down a hundred steps away, drooling.
, looking at these fairies, they didn’t dare to take a step forward.
Liu Yu held up a bowl of wine and filled it with Yanghe wine. His voice was choked with sobs: "Shui Sheng, it's Brother Jinu's fault for hurting you. Brother Jinu promised you that he would take you to get riches together.
Brother Jinu broke his promise. If there is an afterlife, we can gain wealth and honor together, so go on your way with peace of mind!"
As he spoke, with a flick of his wrist, the large bowl of wine was sprinkled on Shui Sheng's grave. Only the gentle night wind drifted through the entire graveyard, blowing up Liu Yu's messy hair on his forehead, spreading his sorrowful expression.
Feeling.
Murong Nan's voice suddenly sounded from behind the grave: "You finally came to see him."
Liu Yu's expression changed, and then he was relieved: "What are you doing here again? Did you use your Xianbei tracking skills to come here with me again?"
Murong Nan's slightly thin figure flashed out from behind the grave bag. He also held a pot of wine and several packages of vegetables wrapped in lotus leaves. While spreading the food on the ground, he shook his head and said, "No,
Today I want to pay my respects to Shui Sheng by myself. After all, it was my men who shot him, so if you want to settle this debt, it must also be settled on me."
Liu Yu shook his head: "I don't blame you. It was just an accident during the exercise. You were in danger when you fired arrows in the smoke. What really killed him was the fact that I took off his helmet."
Murong Nan curled up his lips: "The slap I gave you that day, does it still hurt?"
Liu Yu touched his face: "It doesn't hurt anymore, but I still want to thank you for waking me up that day." Since that day, he has not seen Murong Nan again. When he saw him today, he was a little surprised at first, and then...
There was some surprise. Although I knew clearly that it was his men who killed Shui Sheng, I couldn't hate him at all. I even hoped that he would not leave me.
Murong Nan nodded: "Liu Yu, no matter what, Shui Sheng has passed away, and our lives will continue. You can't be depressed just because of the death of a good brother. Who knows if you will be on the battlefield tomorrow?"
What about death? Live well in the present and cherish every day now. This is the character that we, as warriors, should have."
Having said this, he also picked up the wine bowl and spilled a bowl of wine on the ground: "Brother Shuisheng, although you and I have never met, I, Murong Nan, will give you a ride today. You can go on your journey in peace. Your family,
Liu Yu will definitely take good care of him, and if there is an afterlife, I am willing to share wealth and honor with you."
Liu Yu quietly watched Murong Nan finish all this. He stood up and bowed to Murong Nan solemnly: "I would like to thank you on behalf of Brother Shuisheng."
Murong Nan put away the wine bowl in front of him, looked at Liu Yu, and said calmly: "I have finished what I have done for the dead. Next, I want to talk to you about what I have done for the living."
