Four hundred and fiftieth seventh chapter warm and cold
Chapter 457: Warm and cold at first
After fighting all night, we are now close to ""
The night sky in the east has turned blue, and the sparse stars are shining tiredly. The border between the sky and the earth has already shown a faint fish belly white. It is like a blue and white belt, placed horizontally there.
on the horizon.
It was already early winter, and it was dawn. The weather was extremely cold.
As he spoke, his breath turned to ice.
Several people seemed to be unable to resist the biting cold, and were shivering from the cold.
There was a creak and the sound of a door opening not far away.
The few people who were chatting turned around when they heard the sound. They saw a head with a tired face popping up at the door of a tavern not far away.
Under the blue twilight, the waiter, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, had a blue and white cloth wrapped around his head, and was hugging a door panel. He looked in astonishment at the few people standing quietly under the ruins of the wall in front of him.
Probably because he saw the scarlet blood splashed on the ruins of the wall. The waiter obviously trembled, and the door panel in his hand almost fell off and fell to the ground.
The morning wind blew through with severe coldness.
It swept away a few dead leaves that had fallen on the street. It also gently took away the thick smell of blood that had shrouded it all night.
On the street, except for the stones that were too late to be cleaned up, the soil from the city wall that was scattered by the bombing, and the blood all over the ground, it was basically clean.
He took a look at the neat streets and the shops that were not damaged at all. Lu Heng smiled slightly, wrapped his clothes tightly, and patted the neck of the war horse. Pointing to the tavern, he smiled and said to King Jin: "Go over and have a couple of drinks.
?”
King Jin glanced at Lu Heng strangely, then thought for a moment, nodded and smiled bitterly: "That's fine!"
Afterwards, several people walked towards the tavern. The church
When the waiter at the door saw these bloody and murderous guys approaching, he immediately panicked, threw the door panel to the ground with a slap, and then rushed back into the tavern with a whoosh.
Judging from the panic look on his face and the staggering steps that almost tripped him when he entered the door, the waiter must have gone to report it to his boss.
Several people rode horses, ticking over, and stopped in front of the tavern that hung the wine flag of Xinghua Village. Duan Peng asked his men to tie the horses to the stone piles in front of the door, and then he personally
Went into the tavern.
He stepped into the tavern and took a look inside. He found that the chubby shopkeeper, who was in his fifties, was rushing out of the back hall. When he saw the boss, he was stunned when he saw a few of his people.
, the footsteps stopped in place. There seemed to be a very scared look on his face. Duan Peng grinned. After taking a look at the shopkeeper, he turned back to Lu Heng and said: "Comment in, military advisor!"
Several people entered the tavern and found a seat by the window to sit down.
Seeing Duan Peng and his men standing there awkwardly, like wooden piles, they were a little at a loss. Lu Heng smiled, pointed to a few chairs beside him and said, "Sit down too!"
After Duan Peng sat down, the soldiers did not dare to do it.
Lu Heng put down his teacup, pointed at the King of Jin beside him, and said to the soldier with a smile: "It's not many opportunities to sit with the prince of the vassal, drink and chat!"
When King Jin heard this, he rolled his eyes depressedly.
But the three or two soldiers laughed and sat down timidly.
I saw Duan Peng and Agui burying their heads together, chatting in whispers.
Lu Heng ignored them, just turned around, pointed at the rows of wine jars behind him, and asked King Jin: "Drink some?"
"Drink!" King Jin nodded slightly and said calmly.
So, two jars of good wine were served, along with a few dishes of side dishes. The latest chapter of the Holy Church
Lu Heng and the others sat by the newly lit fire in the tavern, sipping wine and waiting for the sunrise.
As they drank and drank, the relaxed conversations continued.
Now, the two sides are no longer hostile and have opened up a lot of topics.
King Jin's eyes were full of drunkenness. He kept shaking the wine cup and sang a drinking song, and his vision became hazy for a while.
Under the influence of alcohol, King Jin staggered and talked about his life experience and his childhood memories of his mother.
Lu Heng and others remained silent, just listening quietly.
The night has not completely dissipated, and the tavern is still dark. The red light of the fire flickers on and off. It is projected on the walls and the stone brick floor, and there are streaks of red light.
The roaring fire was burning brightly, and the fierce fire licked the furnace wall, burning the thick pig iron red.
On the stove, the hot water in the casserole has already boiled and is steaming. The warm wine in the casserole is also overflowing with the aroma of wine.
"Tell me, if I had been ignorant or a fool, it would be great. If that were the case, I could be a free prince, knowing nothing and not thinking about anything. How great!" Jin, who was obviously drunk!
Wang, he was shaky. He could no longer hold the wine cup in his hand.
After giving a wry smile, King Jin picked up the wine cup and drank all the wine in one gulp. On the other side, Lu Heng glanced at it, picked up the warm wine, and filled it up for him again.
King Jin smiled, picked up the drink, with a hint of unwillingness and irrepressible anger in his tone, and a look of resentment on his handsome face, saying: "It's just ridiculous. Not only am I not a fool, but I am also
Very smart. So smart that once you see something, you can’t forget it.”
When he said this, King Jin's hand suddenly grasped the wine cup. In his slightly trembling hands, the wine in the wine cup spilled out. King Jin took a deep breath, his eyes gradually filled with tears, and stretched out his hand.
With his fist, he patted his chest vigorously and said in a deep voice: "To this day, I still remember my mother's miserable cry when she was forced to marry a Turk. And, oh, there is also my father.
The emperor has a cold expression."
Hearing Prince Jin tell his own life experience, Duan Peng and others showed sympathy on their faces, shaking their heads and sighing, feeling quite sorry for this prince.
Agui raised his head and glanced at the different expressions on everyone's faces, then lowered his head and continued to peel the peanuts to eat.
After hearing this, Lu Heng held the wine and shook the steaming wine slightly. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head, looked at King Jin and said, "So, you want to rebel and you want to become the emperor yourself and avenge your mother?"
"Yes!" King Jin looked dull and said in a deep voice, "Because I can't wait any longer. I'm afraid that if I wait any longer, I will go crazy!"
"Every day, I see those ministers singing and dancing, praising my father. My father is weak and incompetent, and seems to have forgotten my pitiful background. You know how anxious I feel when I see this.
"?" King Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at Lu Hengdao with a helpless smile on his face.
Lu Heng glanced at Prince Jin calmly, lowered his head and thought for a while. He didn't say anything, but just picked up the wine jug and filled it for him.
"Why aren't you talking?" King Jin glanced at the filled wine cup, but did not drink it. After putting down the wine cup, he looked at Lu Heng drunkenly and asked with a smile.
"I don't know what to say?" Lu Heng shook his head, took a sip of wine, smiled, and said lightly.
"Tell me about it!" King Jin looked at Lu Heng calmly and said calmly: "Maybe from now on, you and I will never meet again! I am very happy to be able to sit down with you and talk calmly.
I’m so happy, I don’t want to leave any regrets!”
"I really don't know what to say?" Lu Heng spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said lightly.
King Jin lowered his head and sighed. After a moment of silence, he raised his head, looked at Lu Heng and said, "Then tell me about me! Tell me what kind of person I am, and tell me whether what I do is right or not.
No! What would history say about me? Everything you can think of. And, if you were me, what would you do?"
"This question is a bit treasonous!" Lu Heng rolled his eyes and scolded King Jin with a smile.
"Tch!" King Jin shook his head and said with contempt to Lu Heng: "I know you are not taboo on this topic, and my father will not hold you accountable. So..."
"Tell me about it!" King Jin looked at Lu Heng motionlessly with expectation in his eyes.
After holding the wine cup, he looked at Prince Jin for a moment. Lu Heng couldn't resist the resentful gaze of the other party. He shook his head with a smile, put down the wine cup, stretched out his hand to adjust his clothes casually, nodded and said: "Okay.
!”
"To your mother, you are a good son. To the world, you are not a good minister. You can avenge your mother. I admire your courage, but I do not agree with your use of foreign enemies to poison living beings.
Harming the people is not what a prince should do." Seeing that King Jin was about to refute, Lu Heng waved his hand and said: "Don't refute yet, listen to me!"
"You want to say that you can avenge your mother and ignore everything, right?" Lu Heng looked at him calmly. Seeing him hesitate for a moment, he nodded in recognition. Lu Heng sighed, glanced at him, and shook his head.
Said: "If you are an ordinary citizen, you are indeed a man by doing this. I admire you. However, you are a prince, a vassal king who holds great power and has an army. No matter how high your status and power are, you
Your responsibilities are multiple. Maintain the peace of the people and the stability of the country. This is your inherent responsibility as a prince and a member of the Wu family!"
"But as for you, not only did you not realize your responsibilities, but you also poisoned the people who had placed hope in you. You must know better than anyone what kind of virtue the Turks have. What kind of chaos will happen when the Turks enter the Central Plains?
You know better! However, instead of stopping you, you opened the door and welcomed in these wolf cubs who eat people without spitting out bones. You destroyed our Chinese orthodoxy and harmed all living beings. You are not avenging your mother.
, but help Zhou to commit evil!" Lu Heng stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "You must know that the culprits who forced your mother to marry outside the Great Wall were the Turks, not the old people in the capital.
My dear father!"
"Moreover, later on, you became a little crazy and did not know right from wrong. Under the banner of avenging your mother, you began to cause trouble and torture the people. You even simply coveted the throne and dreamed of dominating the world. I still feel sorry for you.
This is all puzzling, have you forgotten your mother a long time ago?" After Lu Heng finished speaking, he frowned and looked at King Jin.
"I haven't forgotten!" King Jin slapped the table and stood up, staring at Lu Heng with a ferocious expression and excitement, and shouted in a hoarse voice.
