Chapter 40: Gentle Nightmare Night
It's no longer snowing, but it's still very cold. Every now and then, a gust of wind will blow, making people shiver. But Fusu didn't shiver. He was wearing a thick fur collar, and even if the wind blew again,
Da Ye couldn't blow inside the clothes, and the reason why he didn't feel cold even more was that the person next to him was wearing clothes made of ferret fur, the pretty and cute Xiao Tao. The white clothes made her face extraordinarily rosy and seductive.
people.
At this time, the two of them were walking in the back garden of Fusu's hotel. It had been a long time since Fusu had walked with someone so peacefully. Maybe he would be leading the army for the first time tomorrow.
, Fusu still felt a little guilty, but he couldn't tell his generals. The only one who could listen to his thoughts was probably the girl in front of him.
Walking to a tree piled with snow, Fusu smiled and said: "Xiao Tao, far away from here, people will celebrate a festival at this time, and they will saw down the tree and hang all kinds of snow on it.
There were shiny baubles and the children got gifts, so it was a beautiful holiday.”
"Is there such a festival? It sounds similar to our Chinese New Year, but it is a little different. Does Lingnan or the Huns have such a festival?" Xiao Tao asked curiously.
"This festival is completely different from our Chinese New Year, and that place is much further away than the Huns and so on. We can't get there even if we try our best."
"The prince is really knowledgeable and knows everything." Xiao Tao said happily.
"That's right, I'm the prince." Fusu said proudly, and he laughed as he spoke. He felt that he could relax in front of Xiaotao, and it seemed that the fatigue of the day disappeared because of her presence.
.
Looking at the white snow on the ground, Fusu suddenly became childlike and bent down to grab a handful of snowballs from the ground and threw them at Xiaotao.
"Oops!" Xiaotao, who was suddenly attacked by Fusu, let out a soft cry. At this time, she stopped talking about superiority and inferiority, and grabbed snow from the ground and threw it at Fusu. But Fusu was already prepared to dodge.
The two of them attacked each other with one goal after another. The whole garden was filled with the laughter of the two of them. It seemed that at this moment, there was no Prince Da Qin and no maid. There were just two young people, two
A happy young man.
The guards on the side watched the two people fighting, and they were also happy from the bottom of their hearts that they had such a master.
After a while, the two of them stopped. At this time, their bodies and heads were covered with snow foam, and they looked a little embarrassed.
Fusu exhaled slowly: "I will lead the troops to fight against the rebels tomorrow."
Hearing his words, Xiao Tao's face darkened a little, but then she smiled again: "Xiao Tao believes that the prince will be able to defeat those people and return victorious."
"Actually, I'm not worried about sending troops to fight, but I'm confused about how to deal with them." Fusu said softly.
Xiaotao looked at him curiously, but did not ask. Because she knew that if Fusu wanted to tell her, he would tell her, otherwise if she asked, Fusu would be very conflicted.
"After all, they used to be just a group of hard laborers and common people. If I send troops to kill them directly, what is the difference between me and Hu Hai?"
"Then what does the prince plan to do?" Xiao Tao asked.
"We can only try to persuade them first. I hope it will be useful." Fusu sighed, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back."
"Well, the prince will go on an expedition tomorrow." Xiao Tao nodded obediently.
Fusu returned to his room alone, opened the door and walked in. Someone in his room had already lit a candle for him before dark, so there was never any need for someone to see him off with a lantern. But today he
When he opened the door, he found that there was no light in the room. Just as he was stunned for a moment, a sharp object was pressed against his throat, and someone said coldly: "Don't make any sound, come in and close the door."
Just after the man spoke, Fusu had calmed down. He knew that as long as he shouted now, the man would definitely not be able to escape, but at the same time, his own life might not be saved. In desperation, Fusu had no choice but to obey him.
If you say so, slowly walk into the room, close the door, and at the same time guess the opponent's position in your mind. Now, in addition to Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, the people who want your life should also be the hard laborers who just rebelled. But with this
Fusu was really surprised that a person could suddenly appear in his room under the protection of hundreds of soldiers. It was the first time he saw such a person after coming to this world. He knew that only Hu Hai and Zhao Gao could find such a good person.
.
After entering the room, Fusu asked, "Can I light a lamp?" When the man agreed softly, Fusu was not polite and lit a small oil lamp on the table in front of the couch.
Under the illumination of the lights, the man's face was completely exposed to Fusu. He was in his forties, and his dark skin was obviously caused by frequent farming in the fields. He was not tall, but he was not short either.
, the right hand holding the sword was very thick and looked very powerful, and then Fusu also discovered that his feet were actually bare in the winter. Except for his feet, if this person did not appear in this room, Fusu would
Even if Su saw him a hundred times, he might not remember him. When Fu Su was measuring him, the man was also looking at Fu Su carefully. After looking at him for a while, he asked, "Aren't you scared?"
Fusu smiled softly: "You came here just to kill me. Whether I'm afraid or not, you'll kill me. Why should I be afraid?" These words are amazing. They come from Gu Long's martial arts novels that Fusu Xue had read in his previous life.
dialogue.
"..." Apparently that person couldn't adapt to this way of thinking, and couldn't answer for a while.
"Did Hu Hai or Zhao Gao ask you to kill me?" Fusu suddenly asked.
"It's Zhao..." The man quickly swallowed the words that were on his lips. If Fusu asked him who came to kill him, the man might not answer, but Fusu suddenly asked, where
While people were still immersed in Fusu's clever answer just now, they unconsciously told Fusu the answer.
"It seems they are still not making progress. They sent assassins a year ago and they are still sending assassins now." Fusu said calmly.
"I can see that you are a good monarch, but there is nothing I can do about being entrusted by others." There was a hint of conflict in the man's eyes as he spoke.
Seeing his conflicted expression, Fusu knew that he still had a chance to survive, so he asked: "Why do you want to help Hu Hai and the others? You should be able to tell that they are tyrants..."
Before Fusu finished speaking, the man interrupted him: "I know, but I owe Zhao Gao a favor and promised to do something for him."
"What kind of favor?" Fusu asked, forgetting his own situation.
"My Mohist classics were not burned because of Zhao Gao's protection," the man said.
"Are you the descendant of Mo Zhai?" Fusu asked in surprise.
"Exactly."
"Then you shouldn't kill me. Mo Zhai advocates mutual love and non-aggression, not killing!" Fusu stared into the man's eyes and said word by word.
"Jian Ai... Non-attack..." The man's face changed, and his eyes were a little confused. Taking this opportunity, Fusu suddenly stepped back, and at the same time hit the man's face with the flint in his hand.
, and at the same time shouted: "Here comes someone! There is an assassin!"
The man didn't expect that Fusu was extremely agile. Suddenly he was out of the attack range of his long sword. With a loud shout, the long sword in his hand stabbed Fusu's throat like a poisonous snake. The move was not only fast but also cruel.
Very.
But now that he had broken away from his long sword, Fusu would not be killed easily. He had already drawn his own sword. When the man's sword stabbed his face, the sword in Fusu's hand was just in time.
He stopped him. But what happened next was beyond Fusu's expectation. He thought that with his own skills and strength, he could hold on until the guards came in. Unexpectedly, at the moment when the two swords intersected, he
The hand holding the sword felt numb for a moment, and then the sword fell out of his hand. Fortunately, Fusu's skills were very flexible, and he had not stopped training during these days, so he still had time to get in front of the opponent's long sword.
He went to the side and rushed out.
But Fusu knew that he was afraid that he would be killed in the hands of that person with the next sword. The man did not pause his attack just because Fusu could dodge his sword, and then followed it up with lightning speed.
With one strike of the sword, all Fusu could do was close his eyes and wait for death.
Suddenly there was a crash above his head, and someone shouted: "Look at the knife!" The bright knife flashed toward the assassin's neck. As long as the assassin continued to stab forward, Fusu would be dead, but he himself would also be killed by this.
Cut it in two with one knife.
The assassin obviously didn't want to die here, so he turned his sword back to block the "flying man"'s sword.
With a "choking" sound, the "flying man" was hit by the assassin's sword and turned two somersaults in the air, while the assassin was also slashed back a few steps by the opponent's powerful sword. On the surface, the two of them were
It was a tie. In fact, the "flying man" had the advantage of being in a commanding position, and at the same time it was a surprise attack, so to be honest, the assassin's martial arts were superior.
But he had achieved his purpose of rescuing Fusu, because at the moment the two people bounced away from each other, dozens of guards had rushed in, separating the two people from Fusu, and more than a dozen crossbows also shot at him.
With two people in mind, as long as Fusu says a word, everyone will rush forward.
But Fusu knew that this assassin might not be able to be dealt with by these ordinary soldiers, so he said: "Let him go, he came here out of necessity."
"But the prince is here to assassinate you." One of the guards said.
"Let him go, I think he won't come back to assassinate me next time." Fusu said, then turned to look at the man, "You should think carefully about why you Mohists are fighting."
After listening to Fusu's words, the man showed a trace of deep thought, and then left without hesitation under the gaze of everyone.
Fusu's eyes shifted to the person who saved his life. Under the shaking of the torch, the person's face was not very clear. Fusu said: "Thank you for saving me, brave man. May I ask who you are?"
The man smiled and said, "Have you forgotten your kindness in saving me at the foot of the snow-capped mountains that day? I will always remember it."
