Volume 5 Blood Edict of Murder Chapter 113: Willing to be a solitary minister or not
Heavy snow, cold wind.
A team of five hundred people marched silently in the ancient city of Longtai.
In addition to the sound of uniform footsteps, there is also the faint sound of horse hooves.
Tap tap, tap tap.
The flags fluttered in the snow, leaving neat rows of deep or shallow marks wherever the army passed.
Footprints of soldiers, or rutted horseshoes.
But there was no chill at all inside Sikong Xiao Yuanche's carriage.
Originally there was a pot of charcoal fire in the sedan, but Xiao Yuanche deliberately asked his servants to bring in an extra pot of charcoal fire because of Su Ling.
Outside, it was snowy and windy, freezing the whole city;
Inside, the charcoal fire was glowing, which warmed their hearts.
Xiao Yuanche slightly rolled up the curtain on the sedan window, and slowly looked outside through the curtain.
The white snow has accumulated very thickly, and flakes of goose feathers are blowing in the wind.
Looking to the point where the sky and the earth meet, the skylight already has the color of a fish belly.
This night passed slowly in the wind and snow.
The sky will finally usher in the dawn with wind and snow.
For a moment, Xiao Yuanche felt that the scenery of Longtai slowly receding in front of him was desolate, majestic and lonely as never before.
Suddenly my heart was ups and downs. I looked at the ancient city filled with snow, my eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life, and I chanted in a low and distant voice:
"Winter snow condenses into the dark night,
The dead branches are covered with ice.
The window is cold and white,
The lamp is dark and the dream is startling.
What does it look like?
One snow and one cold star."
Su Ling heard that Xiao Yuan had written a five-character poem from his mouth. The poetry was lonely, even a little lonely.
There was a sudden movement in my heart, and I said: "Sikong, you are really talented in literature."
Xiao Yuanche smiled faintly and said: "Su Ling, there are only you and me in the carriage now. You should still call me Brother Xiao, I can listen to you."
Su Ling was startled for a moment, then he stopped being restrained and smiled casually: "Brother Xiao..."
Xiao Yuanche was obviously very impressed. He nodded and said: "This poem of mine is just a poem inspired by a momentary feeling. Compared with your poem of worrying about the world's worries first and rejoicing after the world's happiness, it is inferior."
Quite a few.”
Su Ling hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Brother Xiao is too modest."
Xiao Yuanche smiled faintly and said: "I have four sons. The eldest son Mingshu is a brave and brave man with a lot of wisdom and scheming. I am more interested in entrusting my Xiao family's foundation to him. It's just a pity that he died under Wanyang City.
.....You know this."
Su Ling nodded and said: "Su Ling was lucky enough to witness the eldest son's style, and it really made Su Ling fall in love."
Xiao Yuanche looked at the vast white snow, a sad look slowly appeared in his eyes, sighed a few times, and then returned to his original expression, and said: "The second son Jianshu, although he has a city and a strategy, his personality is a bit paranoid, and even more...
He is unkind and unkind... but he is still diligent in his work."
Just as Su Ling was about to speak, Xiao Yuanche waved his hand and said: "The third son Sishu is a good writer of poems and poems. He is famous all over Longtai for his talent. Wang Zhongxuan, the master of poetry and poems today, can also be called Sishu'er.
.However, although the article is good, this is a troubled world, with killings and killings, and people's hearts are treacherous and unpredictable. However, he is pure and kind by nature, and he has no idea about the deceitful ways of the world..."
"You have also seen the fourth son Cangshu. Although he is young, he has strategies, vision, and the overall situation in mind. He is always planning for the world. However, he is too young, no matter where he is in the court, his qualifications are still young, and he is in the preface.
Ranked last." Xiao Yuanche said slowly.
He sighed again, slowly cast his eyes on Su Ling, and said with seemingly deep meaning: "Su Ling, you have been in contact with Cang Shu'er for a long time, and you should have met Jian Shu, and you must have heard of Si Shu's famous article.
Who do you think can succeed you, Brother Xiao?"
When Su Ling heard this, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Yuanche.
But he saw Xiao Yuanche looking at him with a smile as if he really had a questioning expression.
Su Ling was speechless for a long time, then slowly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Xiao Yuanche.
Xiao Yuanche then smiled lightly and said: "You are young and mature, so don't worry. I'm just asking. The decision is mine. Don't have any worries. Just say it boldly."
Su Ling thought for a moment, and then said with a frank look: "Actually, as Sikong said, the three young masters each have their own strengths and characteristics. They are all dragons among men. Even heroes like Sikong can't make the decision.
, Su Ling is just a doctor, how can he make a decision..."
Without making a move, Su Ling changed the title of Brother Xiao to Sikong.
Xiao Yuanche chuckled and said: "Su Ling, you really don't think so. There must always be some closeness in your heart among my sons."
Su Ling nodded and said: "Sikong is right. When it comes to closeness, Cang Shu is indeed the closest to me in my heart. No one else. In Banan City, we really hit it off."
Xiao Yuanche raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you intend to belong to Cang Shu'er?"
Su Ling shook his head and said seriously: "Sikong is wrong. Closeness and distance and who the heart belongs to are two different things. One is private and the other is public! Su Ling is not talented, but he never dares to abandon the public for private reasons.
, let alone the closeness and distance in one’s heart can influence Sikong’s likes and dislikes. Isn’t this a mistake that can lead to a thousand miles of misunderstanding?”
Xiao Yuanche heard this and pretended to be confused: "Then what do you mean?"
Su Lingfang talked eloquently: "In fact, no matter which prince succeeds, he has a family, a country, a country, and a people in his heart, so that he can win the support of the world, and then sit on the world. Su Ling secretly thought that, for one thing, it was too early to talk about this matter.
Sikong is now in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is too early to think about his successor. Even if it is just a few years ago, when he is getting older, some sages have said that an old man can only aim for a thousand miles, but what about Sikong?"
Xiao Yuanche's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised: "What an old man, with his ambition to reach a thousand miles! Whose words come from this?"
Su Ling was secretly amused. Who did it come from? The person in front of him in another time and space...
Although he thought so, he couldn't explain it, so he could only say: "My master, Xuanyuan Ghost Valley..."
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "Xuanyuan Guigu, the master of Xuanyuan Pavilion in Liyou Mountain, is indeed a great scholar. It's just a pity that we have no chance to meet him."
Su Ling said this, and then said: "Furthermore, the successor should be able to withstand the test and precipitation of time, and only through step-by-step inspection can he be sure. Isn't it child's play to just make empty comments about likes and dislikes?"
Xiao Yuanche's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking.
Su Ling added: "Three things, Su Ling was born into a fisherman's family in the mountains. He fled from Wanyang to Nanzhang, and from Nanzhang he went to Longtai, the capital, alone. Longtai was prosperous, but Su Ling was poor and lowly, and he was terrified."
Su Ling paused and said: "Sikong does not think that Su Ling is humble. He loves him, lets him, and trusts him. Every time Su Ling thinks about it, he is grateful that he cannot repay Sikong's great kindness in the unlikely event. Therefore, Su Ling has no other thoughts in his heart.
, Mr. Jianshu, Mr. Sishu, Mr. Cangshu, none of them are Sikong."
"Su Ling understands in her heart that Su Ling is just doing things for Sikong and taking orders from Sikong."
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he sighed and said: "The so-called Chiji, you will not deceive me!"
He patted Su Ling on the shoulder and said with deep feeling: "I thought that there were many trustworthy people around me, but all the way from a small businessman to being the Eighth School Lieutenant, to now being the Sikong of the Dynasty, the people around me have changed.
Wave after wave. What's left is Wen Ruo's obsession, the body and bones in white..."
Xiao Yuanche looked a little disappointed, sighed and said: "I thought Jinghu was loyal and upright, but he...Su Ling, I have a question."
Su Ling looked solemn and said: "What's the matter with Sikong? Su Ling listens quietly."
"Do you dare to be the solitary minister of me, Xiao Yuanche? Don't rely on anyone else, don't get involved in any faction, just be the solitary minister of me, Xiao Yuanche?" Xiao Yuanche's voice already had a trace of emotion.
He has the coercion and sharpness of a person in a high position, and his eyes also have a royal look.
Su Ling's heart trembled. He never thought that Xiao Yuanche would throw this question to him.
In his heart, he did not want to deceive him. The belief and justice in his heart destined him not to be Xiao Yuanche's lone minister. However, he also secretly decided that as long as what Xiao Yuanche asked him to do, he did not intend to kill innocent people.
If a person does something shady, what if he really tries his best to help him?
This world is so rotten.
With such a decisive, talented and strategic man, why can't he create peace for a while?
Su Ling thought of this, then bowed to Xiao Yuanche and said: "Su Ling is willing to be the first lonely minister in this world."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanche held Su Ling's hand and said, "Okay, okay, defeating Dong Si today is the next best thing. Winning Su Ling is what makes me happy!"
Xiao Yuanche and Su Ling both laughed.
Xiao Yuanche suddenly felt a little disappointed, and sighed: "I wonder how I, Xiao Yuanche, no matter my qualifications, power, or anything else, can't compare to that down-and-out Liu Xuanhan? Is it just because he is the orthodox member of the royal family?"
When Su Ling heard this, he was startled for a moment and then said, "Brother Xiao, why did you say this?"
He calmly replaced Sikong with Brother Xiao.
Xiao Yuanche shook his head helplessly and said: "Isn't it because of Guan Yunchong and Zhang Dangyang?"
"Oh? How did these two people make Brother Xiao sigh so much?"
Su Ling pretended to be confused and said.
Xiao Yuanche smiled bitterly and said: "Su Ling, you were born not long ago, and you don't know much about Guan Yunchong and Zhang Dangyang. These two people can be said to be the world's leading generals after Duan Bailou."
Su Ling pretended to be surprised and said, "Is that really true?"
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "Zhang Dangyang was born with supernatural power and was extremely brave. Back then, he fought against Duan Bailou, the god of war with the Heavenly Halberd, under Ba City. In that battle, the color of the sky and the earth changed. The ghosts and gods were frightened. Anyone as tyrannical as Duan Bailou could easily win.
Ah, how about this Dangyang? He is second best, and even more powerful is Guan Yunchong."
Su Ling asked again: "How is Guan Yunchong?"
Xiao Yuanche said: "Zhang Dangyang is fierce, his moves are powerful and explosive, Guan Yunchong is calm, his moves are elegant and open and close, and his shots are as fast as lightning. Back then, under Ba City, Wang Xi was the pioneer
General Hua Wushe killed thirteen generals of our twenty-eighth allied army in succession. All of them were immediately eclipsed and no one dared to resist. It was Guan Yunchong who volunteered to join the battle. At that time, he was just a small soldier.
Shen Jizhou has a false reputation, so he naturally looks down on him and will not allow Guan Yunchong to fight in any case."
Su Ling smiled lightly and said: "From this point of view, Shen Jizhou has a false reputation, how can he be compared with Sikong?"
Xiao Yuanche laughed loudly and said: "Shen Jizhou didn't know Guan Yunchong was a hero, but I did. I told him personally. Shen Jizhou just agreed, but made things difficult for Yun Chong to make him issue a military order to kill him if he won."
Su Ling had no choice but to act as a flatterer. Fortunately, her idol in the past was Teacher Yu...
He exclaimed in shock: "Is it true that Guan Yunchong has issued a military order?"
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "Guan Yunchong and other people immediately issued a military order, threw the pen on the ground, raised the long sword in his hand, and wanted to go out of the city to fight against Na Hua Wushe."
Xiao Yuanche looked at Su Ling again, seeming to be mysterious and said: "Do you know the name of Guan Yunchong's long sword and how heavy it is?"
Su Ling thought to himself, of course he knows Qinglong... um, no, this time and space is called the Dragon Saber.
What's the weight? If I remember correctly, it's eighty-two pounds.
However, to be a professional admirer, you must have the qualities of a professional admirer.
So Su Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."
Xiao Yuanche laughed and said: "Eighty-two kilograms, the name of the sword is Yanlong... Su Ling, can this Guan Yunchong be said to have divine power?"
Su Ling wondered in her heart, Sikong, did you remember an extra pound? If not, ask the second master to find out...
Su Ling quickly made a surprised expression and said: "It's really amazing..."
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "If it were just these, I wouldn't have such high regard for him. I was young at the time. Seeing the heroism of this unknown guy, I poured him a sip of wine to embolden him. But he didn't
Drink, I just said, don't wait, wait until I kill Hua Wushe and then drink again!"
"As expected!"
Su Ling's words came from his heart. At that time, whether he read or saw this paragraph, his heart was filled with excitement.
Although he knew that it was Luo Da who deceived Zhang Guanli Dai, but this era actually happened. From this point of view, Guan Yunchong is even more powerful.
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "At that time, the twenty-eighth allied forces were in the city first. They only heard the beating of war drums at the top of the city. The sound shook the sky. But in a moment, it became more powerful and frightening. Only then did they all arrive at the top of the city.
I stopped to watch. But I saw Guan Yunchong slashing Hua Wuyu under the horse with one sword. The sword seemed to be a human sword, and it was as fast as the wind and lightning. It can be said that it killed the gods and ghosts with one sword. "
"When Guan Yunchong returned to camp, I took the wine and realized that the wine was still warm!" Xiao Yuanche sighed, "Since then, Yunchong's warm wine has been spread throughout the Jin Dynasty.
"
Su Ling nodded repeatedly and said, "He is really a fairy!"
Xiao Yuanche sighed: "Oh, it's just a pity that I can't help such a fairy!"
When Su Ling heard this, his eyes flickered, and suddenly a bold idea flashed in his mind, why not go with the flow?
Therefore, he asked in a deep voice: "Brother Xiao, among the thousands of generals, which one cannot be accustomed to fighting? People like Xia Yuanrang, Zhang Shiyou, Xu Jinghu, Huang Kuijia, Yu Baihe, Xu Ziming, etc. are all enemies of ten thousand people. How can they lament Guan Yunchong?
Like Zhang Dangyang?"
Xiao Yuanche shook his head and said: "Although these people are also generals and brave generals, Xia Yuanrang, Yu Baihe, and Zhang Shiyou are even more talented generals, but they are not as safe as Guan and Zhang!"
Xiao Yuanche sighed repeatedly: "I really don't understand. In what way am I, Xiao Yuanche, inferior to that Liu Xuanhan?"
Hearing this, Su Ling suddenly smiled lightly and said: "Su Ling is not talented, but I would like to persuade these two to surrender for Brother Xiao!"
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he waved his hands and shook his head and said: "Su Ling, you don't know that Zhang Shiyou in our army has an old relationship with Guan Yunchang. At the beginning, he also talked about Xiang and him. At the beginning, he was just talking.
He refused, but later went to the table to express his determination with a sword, and then asked him to betray his elder brother, so he used the sword to answer... Liu Xuanhan was good at controlling people's hearts, and Guan Yunchang, Zhang Dangyang and Liu Xuanhan had been sworn friends for many years.
Brothers of life and death!"
When Su Ling heard this, he smiled faintly and seemed to be confident and said: "If I help Brother Xiao surrender any one of them, what should Brother Xiao do?"
Xiao Yuanche smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. If you say that any one of them will be demoted, what if I don't get a cent of the profits for three years from the tea business?"
Su Ling laughed loudly and said: "In that case, Su Ling will thank Lord Sikong for not being generous with his money!"
Xiao Yuanche teased: "Why are there people around me who love money like this? Guo Baiyi is one, and here comes you, Su Ling..."
Then he stopped smiling and said: "Su Ling, you were not joking when you said you wanted to surrender them. This is too difficult and risky. It is impossible."
Su Ling then said word by word: "This moment is not the other moment! When Liu Xuanhan was still with these two people, the most important thing in their hearts was naturally their friendship. But now Liu Xuanhan abandons them and runs away alone.
, and even put the two of them in danger. The bond of friendship has been reduced a lot. Moreover, Sikong's soldiers are pressing down on the situation. No matter how brave Guan Yunchong and Zhang Dangyang are, can they charge out?"
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he lowered his head and thought deeply.
Su Ling added: "When the time comes, when I stand in front of the formation and show reason and move you emotionally, I expect that even if both of them don't come to surrender, there must be one who is willing to surrender!"
Xiao Yuanche said: "Su Ling, you are so sure that it would be a great blessing if one of these two people comes to surrender. Do you think the person who comes to surrender is Guan or Zhang?"
Su Ling smiled and said: "Guan Yunchong is calm and understands righteousness, so he can naturally be moved by reason. Zhang Dangyang has a violent temper, but it is difficult to persuade him. Therefore, I feel that Guan Yunchong will definitely come to surrender! However, both of them will come.
, is the best!”
Xiao Yuanche laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "Well, we'll see how you attack Su Ling later!"
Su Ling said confidently: "Then I'll ask Sikong to come to the gate of the other courtyard to have a look!"
Xiao Yuanche sighed again, and the joy on his face gradually faded: "It's just that I'm talking about surrendering Yun Chong. This man has always been loyal and loyal, but I'm afraid he doesn't care about me!"
Su Ling smiled lightly and said: "Sikong's words are wrong. Guan Yunchong is a person who values friendship and loyalty. It is best for these people to gather together and make friendship with each other. No matter what conditions he puts forward, he must agree to him first.
As time goes by, I treat him sincerely, how can he die if he doesn't?"
Xiao Yuanche nodded when he heard this, and said: "It's just that Guan and Zhang are so brave, Su Ling, you have to be careful too."
Su Ling laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you use the materials, as long as Lord Sikong follows my plan, I guarantee it will come true!"
Xiao Yuanche heard this and said hurriedly: "What's the plan?"
Su Ling then lowered his voice and said: "Excuse me, Sikong...come here...such and such, such and such..."
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly...
