Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 329 328. Immortal Return
What Shang Hanshan asked was the person opposite.

Opposite him was a group of people.

What Hongying looked at was not a group of people.

It was the one who stabbed himself just now.

Whether it is questioning or hatred.

Hearing Shang Hanshan's words, the group of people didn't want to answer him.

In other words, there is no need to answer.

Shang Hanshan would not understand why these allies whom Li Shilang had recruited would suddenly backstab and stab them at such a time.

And he asked, just trying to delay time.

Because, on the side of the official road, there were two ordinary men who looked like passers-by in a hurry and passed out.

One of the men was still holding a diabolo tube that had been shot out by an arrow.

So, they don't want to answer.

There is no point in saying more.

A group of people checked one by one, and after confirming that everyone in Pegasus City was seriously injured but not killed, the group dropped a porcelain vase and fell into the snow.

"Take it, within two hours, the poison can be cured."

After the man finished speaking, the team of about thirty people was divided into three waves, and they walked away in an instant.

"..."

"..."

"..."

No one spoke.

The 11 people, including Shang Hanshan, were seriously injured.

This time!

"Pfft...cough cough."

"Sect Master!"

Hearing this sound and seeing the scarlet on the snow, several people with lesser injuries wanted to step forward to check.

But when he got up, his legs went limp.

How can the poison from a doctor's family be so easy to bear?

However, after Shang Hanshan's fight with Zhu Huai, his injuries have not healed.At this moment, being plotted by others, wounds added to injuries, finally unable to resist the weakness brought about by old age, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, his burly body fell to the snow.

……

Li Zhen didn't believe that people from Pegasus City would be absent.

Because he knows.

On that day, Mr. Huqiu cut first and then played, and brought the members of the Yin-Yang family before Hongying and himself, in fact, to force the people of Pegasus City to jump into the muddy water by themselves.

And all he could do at that time was to become the life-saving straw on Hongying's waist.

As long as Hongying is not allowed to meet those people, there is still room for maneuver.

However, after Hongying made a choice, he was no longer qualified to speak about this matter.

Perhaps Hongying entered the game impulsively, and entered as soon as her brain became hot.

But no matter what, since you have entered, you must continue to play according to the rules of the game.

And from the moment she entered the game until today, things are no longer just a simple maid of the young lady of Pegasus City wrestling with various scholars.The one who really wanted to fight them was Pegasus City.

What Pegasus City would do would not tell this insignificant Taoist priest.

This point, when he was in Pegasus City, he already understood from the chaos that night.

He is from a personal point of view.As for Pegasus City, it is from the perspective of the three sects.The starting point of the two is different, whether it is their own bargaining chips or the price in this round, or the profit estimation after winning... To put it bluntly, there is something they want in this round.

That's why he told Xue Rulong that he went to check the situation in Pegasus City.And no matter what happened, he would not take the people from Pegasus City away.

First, he is not qualified.

Secondly, even if Hongying was out of her mind and agreed to go with him, the people in Pegasus City might not agree.

The chess game has already begun.

Only the victory and defeat remained.

However, when he used Yubu all the way to search for the whereabouts of Pegasus City along the official road leading to Luoyang at full speed, when he saw the group of people...

Only then did Li Zhen realize... It turned out that this game never just started when someone arrived at the Yique River.

From the moment the emperor left today, or even earlier, it has been... in progress.

He also didn't ask what happened.

Because the answer is already obvious.

The injuries of these people are all between life and death. If they still act rashly, they don't need others to do it, and they will die before the enemy does it.And if you don't move, you only need to wait for a period of time to recover your health.

The attacker left the choice to Pegasus City itself.

Stay alive.

Not out of mercy.

Instead, it talked about the morality of the rivers and lakes.

If they were really the ones who killed people, then they would have formed a bond with Pegasus City.

But now, as long as Pegasus City retreats, their lives are saved.Then it means that your Pegasus City is not as skilled as others. Regardless of your face, if the two sides have any communication, they will not just draw a knife and chop.

It's just like the people in the martial arts competition, it's a reason for one side to lie on the ground and not move after losing.Regardless of whether you are injured or not, lying on the ground means you have admitted failure and you can save your life.And if you don't admit defeat and stand up again... then you will die forever.

One is a thousand-year-old city, which was once separated from all schools of thought.

One is the origin of hundreds of schools. Although the paths are different, the origins are the same.

Voila.

These are the rules of conduct in this river and lake that has existed for thousands of years.

To stay on the front line is not to have kindness in your heart, but when you meet in the future, as long as you have common interests, you can abandon the previous suspicions and become close comrades-in-arms again.

Of course, it's not like there are people who don't care about life and death.

People respect me one foot and I respect others one foot.

If someone punches me, I kill the whole family.

This kind of person, this kind of sect is not without.

But looking at the long river of time, this kind of person often does not end well.

And this kind of sect is just a flash in the pan when the tide ebbs and flows.

Those who really survive will always be the group that can endure the most.

The rivers and lakes have never been about fighting and killing.

Rivers and lakes are just interests.

All scholars understand this truth.

Shang Hanshan who asked "Why is this so?" also understood this truth.

After being stabbed by someone, she firmly remembered the appearance of the person who stabbed her, but Hongying, who didn't ask the other person's name, also understood this truth.

If she asked the other party's name.

Then today she must die.

She doesn't want to die.

Because she wanted to get back this revenge.

And in the same way, Li Zhen also understood.

But he understood, and when he saw Hongying with a face as golden as paper, he still asked:
"Want to go?"

"..."

Hongying couldn't speak, and was trying her best to ease the injury.

And although he didn't know who Li Zhen was, Shang Hanshan, who saw that the other party came with those men in gray, spoke up.

The head of Leihumen didn't ask why the strategists suddenly betrayed their promises.

Second, why did Li Shilang be so negligent.

After getting on the horse with difficulty, the old and burly body heard Li Zhen's question, hoarse, and uttered bloody words:
"The face of the Pegasus Three Sects cannot be lost."

Yes.

Such an occasion today.

If no one showed up, then tomorrow, the news of Pegasus City's escape from the battle would spread all over the world.

If the reputation is bad, Pegasus City will turn into the coward who was laughed at and generous, first offended by Zhu Huai, and then fled without a fight at the New Year's Eve banquet.

The reputation of the millennium was destroyed in one day.

Shang Hanshan understands.

Li Zhen also understood.

Others understand better.

So, everyone, including Hongying whose wound hadn't stopped bleeding, those who could move moved, and those who couldn't move forced themselves to move.

11 people got on their horses.

Shang Hanshan was speechless, pulling the reins.

The treasured horse under the crotch went according to the owner's will.

Team, start again.

"..."

Li Zhen stood aside, glanced at the gray-clothed men who helped his companions up, and then turned his head to look at... a team of officers and soldiers appeared in the direction of Luoyang.

In the end, his eyes fell on the back of the swaying figure who was still riding his horse forward.

Silent sigh.

With a sway of his shoulders, he was already keeping pace with them.

And at this moment, Hongying's body was crumbling on top of the galloping ink cloud treading on the snow.

The moment she was about to fall, the Taoist landed behind her out of thin air.

Riding on horseback together, he helped her steady.

The nephrite jade is warm and fragrant in his bosom, but the Taoist has no thoughts of beauty at all.

The woman's fragrance is not there, and the whole body is cold.

The nose is full of blood.

"drive."

He said.

……

What are you eating on the giant boat?
How did emperors, generals and ministers spend the eve of the year?
But how is it different from us?
With so many people from various schools and schools coming, are they talking and laughing with famous officials and scholars, or drinking with high-ranking officials?
As the night fell, a group of people who were still on the banks of the warm and spring-like Yique River, unwilling to leave, looked at the brightly lit boats in the night, and had various imaginations in their minds.

But the reality is...

With the gathering of Yinyang, Mohism, and Famous Schools, Yang Guang has only one means of reception.

"On ceremony."

The theory of etiquette that countless famous officials and talents yearned for throughout the ages was thrown out by this emperor.As if this ceremony was like Chinese cabbage on the side of the road, he didn't mean at all to "come to the emperor, sit and listen", and he didn't make any promises, or indicated that he would go through this discussion ceremony to ask them for proof. what.

nothing.

Yes, it's just Huang Xizi's verbal instruction, "Every minister has a banquet and discusses etiquette, and those who speak have no restraint."

Then, after Huang Xizi finished speaking, he took a glass of wine on his own, as if watching a group of monkeys arguing lively idlers.

Sitting behind the bead curtain, while listening to the beginning of the famous master, one person criticizes how crazy and rude the Yin-Yang family said just now that "yin and yang are born in the world".But the Yin-Yang family talked about the virtues of the five emperors in ancient times, which educated the world, and children's words are disrespectful to the sages.

On one side, he personally fetched a small clay stove and put a jug of wine on top of the clay stove.

Under the appearance of the Mo family not fighting or robbing, the people of the two families just refuted each other by citing scriptures like teasing.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that, in arguing, the Yin-Yang School is no match for the famous School.

But what does it matter?

The emperor's casual commentary on etiquette was just an appetizer.

Grasping this thought, some courtiers also happily joined in the fun, and by discussing etiquette, they either praised or praised it to add a handful of firewood to the pot of hot water that was about to boil.

During the period, Li Shilang, who was in charge of the Baiqi Division under heaven, left the table for a while.

When I came back, it was cloudless and breezy.

It's like going to the toilet.

On the other hand, the white-clothed monk who came on the wave ignored the Three Treasure Vegetarian Restaurant, and also ignored the golden bottle of royal wine in front of him, with lowered eyebrows and solemn treasures.

The voice of debate was endless among the giant boats, and the emperor sat behind the bead curtain and drank wine.

In the middle of the You hour, Huang Xizi, who had been serving the emperor to drink, suddenly raised his head.

After two breaths, he smiled openly:

"Your Majesty, Immortal, you are back."

Yang Guang looked happy.

On the deck, there was a silence.

"call……"

Several young eunuchs let out a breath of cold air.

Creak, creak.

The side of the ship is icy.
