Chapter 258 Unexpected Harvest: Identifying the Thief King
Continuing from the previous article, Dugu chased Wanqi Chou Nuo in the mountains as he wished. On the way, a Yuchi Bodhisattva appeared and blocked his way. Dugu got up his nerves and killed Yuchi Bodhisattva as he wished. In the end, Wanqi Chou Nuo disappeared. It can be said that a lot of hardships lead to success. A career is not always smooth sailing. People always make up many beautiful words, such as "perfect", "perfect strategy", "smooth sailing", etc. How can such a good thing be impossible!
Dugu's wish to hunt down Wanqi Chou Nu is a good example, but there is a point where Dugu pursues his wish and meets his father's old friend in the mountains. This old man is called Shen Wukang. It is said that his father is dedicated to learning, well-versed in the world, and writes Liang Dynasty Minister Du Zhilang Shen Yue in poetry and prose. These are historical legends. We don’t need to go into details. When I was young, I stayed in Wuchuan for a while and got to know Wuchuan Duguku.
Later, he followed his father's example and lived in seclusion in the mountains, refusing to be an official. It was not until today that Dugu Ruyuan met Shen Wukang and asked Dugu Ruyuan why he had come to this point. Dugu Ruyuan introduced what happened in detail.
After hearing this, Shen Wukang sighed: "We are living in an era where conquests have been going on for hundreds of years. The people are struggling to live and work in peace and contentment. Especially since the Empress Dowager Hu came to power, it has been even more difficult for people to live a comfortable life. Hu The death of the Queen Mother could have changed our lives, but in the end, the wolf came and the tiger came. The sage said: Harsh government is stronger than a tiger! I really don’t know when this kind of life will end!"
But when he looked back and saw that Dugu had fulfilled his wish, he seemed to see hope and said: "But I think you young people can build a bright future!"
While the two were talking, Granny Shen had already served the food, "There are some wild vegetables in the mountains. My husband and I are too old to hunt, so there is not enough meat for the general to eat. I hope the general will forgive me!" Such an old man! How simple, Dugu accepted the meal as he wished. Because he was his father's old friend, he was not humble and started to eat.
Since Dugu Ruyu left, everyone else has gone to chase the defeated soldiers. Everyone has chased after me. There is only one person left. Who is it? Guo Lingwei is anxious alone. She regrets not following Dugu Ruyu just now to catch up with her sister and brother-in-law. They said goodbye. They had to leave today. Seeing others leaving, Guo Lingwei felt an inexplicable loneliness approaching her.
She couldn't help but rush over, but Dugu Ruyuan was missing and she was too embarrassed to call out to her lover. She was worried that something had happened if Dugu Ruyuan hadn't shown up for so long. That's why she came here, where could she find it? , looking for someone in such a vast wilderness is like looking for a needle in a haystack, just looking around aimlessly.
Dugu pushed the finished rice bowl as he wished, thanked the two old couples again and said with a smile on his face: "My nephew, you are too polite, it's just a few bowls of mediocre food, what is there to thank you for? There was something I watched you eat just now. Dexiang, I didn’t tell you, I wonder if it’s too late now?”
"Oh, Shibo, I wonder if you have any advice?"
"Do you still remember when I opened the door and saw you a little panicked?" Shen Wukang stroked his beard and spoke very eloquently, "That's because before you came, a group of people came, and I thought it was you. I am one of them, because I am afraid that they will come in and rob me, so I usually don't want to open this door. Once I open the door, there will be trouble. How can my old couple squander this little bit of chaff and broken rice here? So I was quite scared when I first saw you, mainly because I was afraid of a military disaster."
When Dugu Ruyu heard this, he didn't care whether the old man was scared or not. What he was worried about was whether the bandit soldiers deliberately arranged a brigade of soldiers here when they rescued Wanqi Chou slaves. After they were surrounded, someone came. If the golden cicada's plan to escape is like that, all this time will be wasted, and it will be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, causing endless troubles!
Thinking of this, he felt a chill run down his spine. He thought to himself, if this was the case, when would all these rebels be wiped out? Could it be that God really didn't want to wipe them out? This was just a guess, and he thought He asked: "Shibo, do you know where the soldiers are from?"
Shen Wukang simply shook his head, "I recognized it through the voice. I just looked out from the crack in the door to see who they were, and I couldn't tell clearly." "I see! Shibo came unexpectedly today. I didn’t bring anything with me. My nephew will come to visit the two elderly people next time. Please take care of yourself. I have military duties and have to return to camp!"
After coming out to bid farewell to Shen Wukang and his wife, Dugu Ruyu flew on his horse and prepared to return to his camp. Halfway there, he met Guo Lingwei, who was searching for him and worried about him. He saw his benefactor, and Dugu Ruyu's face suddenly turned red.
"Are you okay?" Guo Lingwei didn't dare to raise her head and take a closer look at her sweetheart.
"It's okay! I'm okay!" Dugu Ruyuan felt that his tongue was much thicker when he spoke at this moment, and he was stupid enough when he spoke.
"He ran away?" "Run away!" The two people replied back and forth in simple machine words.
"General Dugu, my sister is gone. She and her brother-in-law went to Yongzhou to take office. I-" The words were usually left unspoken.
"Miss Guo, I am a soldier. I am marching and fighting everywhere. Where can I take care of you?" Dugu understood what Guo Lingwei was going to say as he wished. Guo Lingwei was willing to risk her life today. She didn't intend to chase her sister anyway, and she was heartbroken. Heng said tremblingly: "General, I don't need your care, as long as you don't drive me away."
Even if he is a benefactor, his words are not harsh at all. Dugu Ruyuan is not a stupid person. It’s not that he doesn’t like Guo Lingwei in front of him, but he feels sorry for Guo Lingwei. His requirements are very low, just to be a second roommate. His wife Guo Lingwei is also willing. Such a good thing would be undesirable if it were placed on others. However, who is Dugu Ruyuan? He is not that kind of person. Some people think that he is a playboy. The reason is that he will marry him all his life. I have three daughters-in-law. There are reasons for that. You can’t draw conclusions about a person because of that.
"In that case, Miss Guo, you will stay in my camp! If there is any lack of care in the future, I will just forgive you!" Dugu Ruyi said this not only as a concession in words, but also in fact. I gave in deep in my heart, or was moved by this girl's repeated feelings.
"You are not allowed to go back on your word!" Guo Lingwei was afraid that Dugu's wish was just empty words to make her happy for a while.
In this way, the two of them set off back together. On the way, Guo Lingwei noticed that Dugu Lang was frowning all the way. He sighed and asked, only to find out that Dugu was still upset about not catching the Wanqi Chou slave as he wished. Guo Lingwei asked in confusion: "General Is it a mistake? I saw it clearly from the sidelines. Wanqi Chou slave was wearing a golden helmet and gold armor. The army should have caught him as he fled eastward. Do you think he could escape with so many people?"
"I hope!" Dugu Ruyuan was just a psychological comfort to such a statement. He didn't believe it, because the appearance of the dwarf explained this problem. Otherwise, why would he stop me from chasing the person in front? Even if there is
With this mistaken explanation, Dugu Ruyu still believes that Feng Guangteng’s judgment should be correct.
"General, General Dugu, we have finally found you!" A voice came from a long way away. A small school man rode alone and ran to Dugu Ruyu's horse and passed a military order: "Captain Heba, please come to him quickly."
In the camp!" After saying that, without explaining anything, he hit the horse and left first.
Dugu Ruyu turned around and came to He Bayue's camp. He saw that the faces of all the soldiers were filled with the joy of victory. Of course Dugu Ruyu didn't think about anything else, thinking that maybe they had defeated the rebels and arrived.
Shuai Zhang met the three brothers He Ba
"Brother, you are here. I have sent troops to look for you for a long time. Where have you been?" He Basheng was relieved when he saw that there were no wounds on Dugu Ruyuan's body.
"Second brother, I'm sorry for your trouble!" "One family doesn't need to talk to each other! That's what happened. It's a pity that the man with the golden helmet ran away on the battlefield! But, the eldest brother brought him
A group of people passed by Beishan. When they saw a man, they took him
He was arrested and asked who he was? He only said it was Wanqi Daoluo and we, who always looked at people from afar on the battlefield, were not very clear about his exact appearance, so I asked you to identify him!" He Ba
Yun Jiang briefly introduced the reason why he invited Dugu to come as he wished.
He Bayue shouted: "Bring it up!" Four warriors escorted a person up. Dugu didn't look at it as he wished. He almost jumped up when he saw it. How could it be such a coincidence? He also
Forgetting that this was a military camp, the three brothers He and Ba happily hugged Guo Lingwei from the eldest to the third. They also forgot about it and hugged Guo Lingwei as a gentleman. The three brothers He and Ba knew from his behavior that this person
Definitely not just Wanqi Daoluo
Although He Boyun usually didn't talk much, he asked at this time: "Brother, who is this person?" As soon as Dugu told the exciting information as he wished, everyone was so happy that they didn't know what to say.
Such a coincidence, due to the urgency of the matter, Er Zhu Tianguang did not have time to order He Bayue's troops to pursue and intercept him, but He Bayun captured Wan Qi Chou Nu.
Seeing that his identity was exposed, Wanqi Chounu raised his head and sighed: "Hey! It seems that the innocent is going to kill me. God wills it, God wills it! If Dugu gets his wish, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost! You don't want it either.
It’s too early to be proud! Don’t think that this war is over, it’s still too early?”
This statement can be regarded as a wake-up call for everyone. What Wanqi Chounu said is right. For example, Wanqi Daoluo who escaped today is a potential threat, and the Wei army did not eliminate most of Wanqi Chounu's troops.
It is a small group of people, which means there are still many things waiting for the Wei army to deal with. Wanqi Daoluo should be the core figure of the remaining people. As for how the battle will be, it is really difficult to say, and it is also an unknown.
Also, if the thieves were able to carry out the rescue for the first time, would there be a second time? Everyone thought of this and couldn't help but want to kill Wanqi Chounu, so they jointly wrote a letter to Er Zhu Tianguang, asking for Wanqi to be saved.
The ugly slave must be punished on the spot to avoid further trouble.
Can Erzhu Tianguang agree to this request, and what will be the fate of Wanqi Chounu? Will the thieves carry out rescue again? We will analyze it next time
