Chapter 408 Life-saving straw

The King of Huainan also paid enough money. After the eunuch who brought the gifts down the mountain, Liu Xi sent him to the Wangtian Mountains alone and kowtowed almost step by step. He walked to the thatched cottage to serve him. His knees and forehead were already covered in blood.

The waiter who arrived at the destination had completely darkened. Liu Xi didn't say anything, but just knelt in the direction of the main entrance of the cottage. There seemed to be no one in the cottage, so Liu Xi knelt here until the sky was dark, and there was no movement inside.

Liu Xi knelt in front of the hut for a whole night, and did not see anyone respond until the sky was bright. The eunuch hiding behind couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran over to help the King of Huainan: "Your Highness, Wu and Gui are not in the hut, so let's go back first and make plans in the future."

However, no matter how the eunuch general manager helped the eunuch general manager, the King of Huainan seemed to have no intention of getting up. He was helped up several times, pushed the eunuch general manager away several times, and then knelt in front of the thatched cottage in a daze. In the end, the eunuch general manager had no choice but to kneel behind Liu Xi.

The master and servant knelt in front of the cottage for a whole day until it got dark again. Liu Xi, who had not eaten water for almost two days and a night, finally couldn't help it. His body began to sway slowly. As his body swung more and more, he finally fell to the ground in front of him.

The eunuch who was kneeling behind him screamed in fear, stood up with conditioned reflex and wanted to support Liu Xi. However, the moment he stood up, the boss who had not eaten for almost two days was dizzy and fell to the ground with his master.

I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Xi slowly opened his eyes. At this time, the sky had completely darkened. He glanced at the eunuch who was lying behind him, sighed slightly, tidied up his clothes, and then continued to stagger and knelt down at the thatched cottage.

Just as the moment the King of Huainan knelt on the ground this time, an old voice suddenly came from the air: "Your Highness, why are you doing this..." While speaking, the door of the thatched cottage finally opened, Gui Bugui walked out of it. After seeing Liu Xi's appearance, the old guy sighed heavily.

After hearing the long-lost return, Liu Xi's body was in a town. He kowtowed to the direction of the old guy, and said while kowtowing: "Mr. Gui, if the disciples had not been at the end of their lives, they would never dare to disturb the two gentlemen. I hope that the two gentlemen would save the people of Huainan for their past friendship."

"Your Highness, your highness, finally remember them..." At this time, a very arrogant voice sounded again. After pausing for a moment, the man said again: "There are 23,122 people from you, Huainan. Go and ask these people, how they stayed on this mountain. It is because of you, your highness, that they have changed from the people of Huainan to the refugees on this mountain."

After hearing Wu Mian's words, the King of Huainan was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and said to the air: "A little bit of sacrifice can bring about long-term peace and stability in the world, but it is not impossible. Mr. Wu, if I am the lord of the world, I will definitely rest with the people and repair them with the countries in the border areas. At that time, swords and guns will be put into the warehouse and horses will be put into the south mountain, and there will be a pastoral place in the world."

When he said this, Liu Xi paused for a moment and then continued: "If Emperor Wu continues to take charge of the country, within five years, he will definitely fight with all the Xiongnu tribes. However, no matter the victory or defeat, it will not be the blessing of the people of the world. If he loses the Han Dynasty, he will become the pasture of the Huns. The children of the Han family are slaves of the Huns. If he wins, according to his temper, Liu Che will definitely take advantage of the victory until he kills the last person of the Huns. At that time, the world's financial resources will be filled into this hole that will never be filled. The eternal foundation laid by His Majesty Gaozu cannot be destroyed in the hands of such a foolish monarch."

"Is there anything different between you and Liu Che?" After Liu Xi finished speaking, a sneering voice came from the air. Then, the owner of the voice continued: "Is there any difference between one being a military force in the entire Han territory and the other being a military force in his own country?"

When Wu Mian said this, Gui Buguijie said to Liu Xi: "Your Highness, you have your great way, but if you impose your great way on the people of Huainan and cause the suffering of life, what if you can do the world? Ten years ago, when you governed the country with kindness and filial piety, were there so many people who fled on Wangtian Mountain? Now you are the King of Huainan. The people of Huainan still have a hope to take refuge in the sky. One day you become the lord of the world. Where is the Wangtian Mountain of the people of the world?"

After saying a few words, Liu Xi, the King of Huainan, looked disastrously. His mouth trembled a few times, as if he had something to say, but he didn't say it until the end of the words.

At this time, a small head emerged from Gui Bugui's feet. Ren San raised his head and said to the old guy: "I'm old, I'm going to show you a clear way for my buddy. I'm not asking you to vent his anger. If you have any way to save him, just go back to wash the wine jar. The soldiers are already in the forefront. Do you still have the nerve to teach him?"

"I have one of Fazi, but your friend of Huainan King may not be able to do it," after smiling at Xiao Rensan, Gui Bugui turned his gaze to Liu Xi again.

At this time, Liu Xi saw a life-saving straw and was about to catch it. He hurriedly kowtowed to Gui Bugui and said, "Mr. Gui saves me, no matter what method, as long as I can retreat from the imperial army, I will treat the people of the country well in the future and abolish corvee..."

Before Liu Xi finished speaking, Gui Bugui sighed, looked at the King of Huainan who had a glimmer of hope, and then said, "I don't have that great practice for retired soldiers, but I still have the ability to save you."

Looking at Liu Xi who didn't understand, Gui Bugui smiled and said to him: "As long as you abandon the title of Huainan Kingdom and follow me to be a young monk with the idle clouds and wild cranes, then even if there are thousands of troops in front of you, we can still protect you from your own good,"

When he said this, Gui Bugui stared at Liu Xi, the King of Huainan. His Highness did not expect Gui Bugui to give him this idea. After a moment of stunnedness, he turned his eyes away from having any contact with the old guy.

The result was also as expected by the old guy. After he smiled, he turned around and shook his head at Wu Mian in the thatched cottage. Then he stopped talking and turned around and walked towards the thatched cottage. At this time, Xiao Rensan shouted behind him: "I'm old, don't leave, what should he do if you leave?"

"I can't help you." Gui Bugui had no intention of turning back. He continued while walking: "I gave him a life-saving straw. If you don't catch it, you can only sink. Fame and fortune are such a good thing. Even if you give up fame, you can't give up this..."

When he finished speaking, Gui Bugui happened to return to the thatched cottage. He did not look back at the King of Huainan behind him, and reached out to close the door of the thatched cottage from behind. Just as the door was closed, Xiao Rensan looked at Liu Xi, who was still kneeling on the ground with red eyes. After stomping his feet, he crawled into the ground, leaving only a King of Huainan Liu Xi, kneeling in the same place.

After a while, the interior manager behind Liu Xi opened his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly remembered the scene before he fainted. He struggled to get up and saw the King of Huainan lying on the ground. He then breathed a sigh of relief and said to his bamboo with tears flowing: "Your Highness, don't wait..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Xi stood up in distractedness. His eyes were dull and he didn't look at the eunuch, and walked straight towards the mountain. The actions of the King of Huainan scared the general manager. At that moment, he hurriedly supported his master. The master and servant went down the Wangtian Mountain like a loss.

In the thatched cottage, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, Ren San and the other three looked at each other. None of them spoke, and there was a sad atmosphere in the air.

At this moment, Bai Wuqiu, who was paid by Gui Bugui, shouted loudly outside the cottage: "Uncle Xiao, come out and see, do you know this person? It looks a bit like you..."
