Summon Qunhao

Chapter 269 [Guanzi said]

In the first month of 190, the new emperor ascended the throne, amnesty the world, and widely applied benevolent policies.

In the next six years, the weather was smooth and the people praised it.

In the seventh year, the world changed suddenly. First, there was heavy rain for half a year, flooding everywhere, and then there was a severe drought. For half a year, crops were not harvested everywhere.

Then, another mutation emerged.

First, in the northern coast, there were rumors of people cannibalizing each other, and then, there were hungry people who lived by sucking human blood.

The imperial court sent masters to eliminate the demon, and the vampire demon was suppressed.

However, in March, the vampires reappeared, with a large number of people, hundreds of thousands, and they devoured people when they encountered villages. They treated people like livestock.

The prefectures and counties sent a large army to encircle and suppress, but they were defeated and retreated steadily, and countless soldiers turned into blood-sucking demons.

In less than one month, most of the counties and counties in Qingzhou have fallen into the hands of vampire demons, and the number of dead has reached [-].

In the following six months, the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress several times, but to no avail. On the contrary, the vampire demons became more and more powerful. By the spring of the ninth year of Yuping, Qingzhou had completely fallen. Vampire demon haunts.

Since then, the vampire rebellion has been hard to contain.

In the 200th year of Yuping, half of the seventeen prefectures in the world were affected by blood-sucking monsters. Among them, the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Jiang, and Jiao fell, and Jing, Yang, Yi, Yu, Yan, Ji, and You all had blood-sucking monsters. In just two years, the empire, which has been in peace for [-] years, is already in chaos.

In June of the tenth year of Yuping, the vampire conquered Jizhou and besieged Youzhou with the demon of Youzhou, and the capital was in danger.

In July, Chen Ba, the Great Chen Shun King, fought against the vampires in the wilderness of Youzhou. He severely injured two vampire kings and killed one of them.

At this time, it is already August.

It was supposed to be a time of family reunion and celebration in the whole city, but the capital was gloomy and gloomy. There were only a few cars and horses on the streets. Everyone came and went in a hurry, looking sad, and from time to time, heavily armed soldiers patrolled by. Eight out of ten shops in the city are closed, and the prosperity and bustle of the world's largest city in the past is no longer there.

In this kind of time, even if you live by singing wildly, you will never be out of touch with the world. It is said that even if the enemy's war horse has already stepped at the door, you still have to take a few sips of wine while the horse is charging and watching a few songs and dances, and then Throwing away all the money left on his body, betting that his head will fall to the ground after a few moments, and the absurdity of the pinnacle of selling gold is also deserted.

After all, a claim is a claim, it’s not true, it’s not a real thing, it doesn’t matter how you say it, after all, you won’t lose half of your flesh, but it’s a completely different feeling when the real knife rests on your neck.

At this moment, the knife was already on the road, and the sound of horseshoes seemed to be faintly visible.

The vampire is already outside the capital.

No one can be really optimistic.

"I said, everyone, what's the matter? Everyone is like a sick cat, and it's getting lively. This gold sales building is for everyone to find happiness, and you are here to cry for feelings?" There was silence, when the atmosphere of the whole building had dropped to freezing point, a personal voice suddenly rang out from the tall building, and it seemed a bit resentful.

"Come on, Master Sixteen, you really don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk. After you have made great achievements, even if the vampire comes, you can't suck your blood. We are all common people, and we don't know how we died." Hearing someone Some people couldn't sit still when they made sarcastic remarks, and immediately retorted.

If it had been ten years ago, this dialogue would have been impossible, because the person who spoke above was surnamed Wang, the son of the great general Wang Bucheng at that time, and ranked No. 16. He was a first-class dignitary. No matter how harsh his words were, the people below could only endure and listen.

However, time has changed. In the mid-autumn coup, the great general Wang Bucheng was on the wrong team, and failed to conspire with the then crown prince Chen Yaizhu. Most of Wang Bucheng's lineage was punished. Although this Wang Shiliu was lucky because he was too ineffective, And he had a good relationship with Wang Buyi, the patriarch of the Wang family who was standing in line with His Majesty at the time, and was saved, but his status was completely different.

Although Wang Buyi successfully participated in the coup d'état and gained the power of the royal family, he was about to show off his skills, but he died before he was able to leave the teacher, and died soon after a fierce battle. The king's family had no leader. Decline, and now, the Wang family in the capital is already a third-rate family, and it has not yet reached the point of being bullied in the capital, but it is no longer the same as it used to be, and basically no one is afraid of it.

So when Wang Shiliu spoke, someone immediately refuted it.

Wang Shiliu was immediately furious when he heard this, not that he felt that his authority had been challenged. He had long since lost his authority. His anger was only due to the sudden fall of his status, and he continued this kind of anger. It's been almost ten years, but it still hasn't been eliminated, and he feels humiliated.

Speaking of it, the person who spoke was also vicious, he didn't pick anything, but he just picked a meritorious service and said it.

Speaking of Wang Shiliu seriously, it is now after the rebellion, even if it is said that the Wang family has made great contributions to Conglong, ten years have passed.

This was a fundamental attack on Wang Shiliu, and Wang Shiliu was extremely angry.

"Which bastard is talking!? Come out to you Wang Shiliu, I want you to look good!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Immediately, countless people responded to him.

"Hey, I wonder who is so majestic. It turns out that it is Wang Shiliu. You have gone up to the eighteenth floor again. Where did you make your fortune? Could it be that you stole the private money of the servants at home again?" Did you come here? Then you have to be careful that your little red is chasing ten streets with a rolling pin again!"

"Hahahahaha, I bet 21 out of 1000, no, [-] out of [-], is there anyone who bet with me, I will offer [-] taels!"

"Hahahahaha, I'm laughing so hard, I bet, I bet, I offer 2000 taels, I bet it will definitely exceed 21!"

"Master Wang Shiliu, do you want to gamble too? Oh, I forgot that you might not be able to take out ten taels of silver on your body now, right? Well, no matter whether you win or lose, the queen master will give you 100 taels as a reward." Yes, Master Sixteen, I am, what kind of stinky shit dare to be called Lord?"

……

"You...you..." Wang Shiliu felt tight in his chest, dizzy, dizzy, and wished to spurt a mouthful of blood to kill these bastards.

But in the end, he still fell down. This is not the first time he heard this kind of ridicule. He didn't know how many times he heard it in the past ten years. When he first heard it, he could still argue with others. Fighting, but after being beaten several times in a row and unable to stand up, he suddenly understood that he had nothing left, even his martial arts was no match for others, it was in vain that he was a descendant of a famous family.

But after taking off the hat of a famous family, he is nothing.

He has resigned himself to his fate.

I have already accepted my fate.

He came here today, not looking for trouble, but just to reminisce for the last time, because he has received the definite news that the emperor has abandoned the capital, and the army has been withdrawing quietly. It is only a matter of time before the capital is destroyed, vampire Entering the city, this gold-selling building must be lost, so he came to take a last look at this building that was filled with the best years of his life.

But as soon as he stood upstairs, he couldn't help being emotional again, and he reverted to his old ways. Now that he was exposed, he immediately softened like a punctured ball, and gave a wry smile.

It is really prosperous like a dream.

"Trash..." Just as he was sighing in self-pity, someone suddenly sneered, the sound was not loud, but enough for him to hear.

He suddenly raised his head, and was about to scold angrily, but he was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's you."

The person who scolded him was none other than Li San, his nemesis when he was free and unrestrained in the past, and he was standing across the building looking at him coldly at this moment. Frost, no longer what it used to be.

Wang Shiliu knew that Li San had not had a good time these years. In the coup d'état, although his Li family also became the new emperor, the old man of the Li family died early, and the Li family had no successors. Now it has become no different from the Wang family.

Hearing what Li San said about him, he finally had the confidence to retort, "Aren't you the same?"

Li San snorted coldly.

The two glared at each other, and after a while, they almost said in unison: "Could it be that you also..."

Then, there was silence.

Downstairs, the mockery of Wang Shiliu has turned into a discussion about the current situation. After all, the danger is close at hand, even the Jinlou, which has always been known for its drunkenness and dreams, is no exception.

"You tell me, when will this vampire retreat?"

"The capital city is the capital of a country. If the capital city is in a hurry, the world will definitely spare no effort to save it. Not to mention there are [-] soldiers of the emperor guarding the capital. The siege of the capital city will be lifted soon."

"Brother Zhou's words are very true. I also heard that the major families and sects have formed an alliance to eliminate demons. They are already on their way. Everyone can drink with confidence."

"Extremely extreme, everyone, drink as much as you want, and even if those vampires really come into the city, with my strength, even if one person spits, they can drown them all, come! Drink!"

"Brother Ge's words are wonderful, my little brother has practiced a demon-killing sword technique today, and he is about to meet those demons, but he has no place to use it. Come, brother Ge, let me offer you a toast!"

There was a hustle and bustle, as if the hall was full of heroes.

The two people upstairs who really knew, Li San and Wang Shiliu looked at each other coldly and sneered in their stomachs.

After a while, Li San coughed suddenly, and said to the people downstairs: "Everyone, I, Mr. Wang, have a bet. I wonder if you dare to take it?"

"What's not to dare?"

"I'm afraid you poor man has no money!"

"Come on, Sixteen!"

"Okay." Wang Shiliu wasn't angry anymore, he just said, "Let's take a bet, when will the vampire enter the city!"

His last word fell, and the room was silent.

Although the Gold Tower claims that there is nothing in the world and no one can gamble, this rule has not changed even if Shen Yi, the owner of the Gold Tower of the previous generation, was punished for participating in the rebellion and the entire Gold Tower was confiscated.

But after all, this is related to everyone's property and life, so there was a moment of silence.

Then, it was cursing.

"What are you talking about? Wang Shiliu?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will go to the emperor and accuse you of a lie?"

"Wang Shiliu, are you crazy about money?"

"Don't you dare?" Wang Shiliu just sneered.

"Why don't you dare?" Everyone sneered.

"I'll bet 1000 taels, that vampire will never be able to get in!"

"I bet 2000 taels, if I win, I will kill you bastard!"

"1 taels!"

Soon a group of people bid, and then Li San, who was opposite Wang Shiliu, suddenly asked: "Then how much did you pay? Don't be too shabby!"

"I don't have any money, so I'll bet on my life! If I lose, I'll jump from here!" Wang Shiliu was decisive. This should be the most desperate moment in his gambler career.

"Bah! It's cheaper for your grandson to die!"

There was a lot of scolding from below, but they still accepted the bet. In the end, everyone bet that the vampire could not enter the city, with one exception, and that was Li San.

Wang Shiliu stared blankly at him for a moment, then sneered again, showing a knowing expression.

The game is set, Wang Shiliu is ready to leave, and the gold-selling buildings are all over the world. As long as he takes away the gambling tickets, he can get money everywhere. He doesn't want to stay in the capital and wait to die.

But the moment he was about to stand up, shouts and fighting sounds suddenly sounded outside, someone shouted as if running desperately: "The city is broken! The vampire has entered the city!"

With this sentence, the people downstairs who were still holding the chance of winning just now were thrown into the endless hell. They all had pale faces and despairing eyes.

"Someone must be maliciously spreading rumors! Is Wang Shiliu someone you sell!" Someone shouted sharply.

However, before other people rushed upstairs to question Wang Shiliu, the fast horse from the Gold-selling Building had already arrived. He was usually very calm, and the messenger who could be calm no matter what the situation was. He yelled loudly: "The south gate is broken, the vampire demon enters the city, Wang Shiliu wins!" Then he left in a hurry, before leaving, he still had some feelings, and said to everyone, run away, everyone.

As a result, there was chaos, and the heroes who were laughing loudly and talking about how to kill demons a moment ago dispersed.

Wang Shiliu looked downstairs blankly, at a loss. He won, but he didn't know why, and his heart was empty, not feeling well.

But he quickly cheered up, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he wanted to go downstairs to get the gambling ticket and run away. After all, there are many gold sales houses all over the world, and money can be withdrawn anywhere.

Then when he looked up, he found that Li San hadn't left yet, so he couldn't help but look at him strangely, before he could ask him if he was scared.

Li San suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Wang Shiliu couldn't help asking.

"I just suddenly remembered someone."

"Who?"

"A man named Gu Yue'an."

Gu Yuean.

What a long name, even after so many years, Wang Shiliu is still unforgettable.

"If this man is here, even if the city is broken, even if there are countless vampires, he will definitely just move forward." Li San sneered and shook his head, "How can we see a group of clowns jumping on the beam?"

"...We are not Gu Yue'an." Wang Shiliu just shook his head.

Then he didn't want to talk anymore, and turned his head to leave, but suddenly he heard Li San call him: "Wang Shiliu, I, Li, have the last bet in this life, and I want to bet with you, how dare you?"

"... What bet?" Wang Shiliu stopped in his tracks.

"I heard that you practiced sword day and night in order to revive the Wang family, but I don't know how effective it is?" Li San asked without answering.

"What do you ask for this?"

"My life, Li Yan, is absurd. Now I am in my thirties, I just think about practicing martial arts to strengthen my body and defend my family. I joined a famous teacher to learn a sword technique a year ago. I practiced hard day and night, but I never had a chance to actually fight. , Today, the vampire just came to die, I want to try the knife, so I will bet with you on the last shop... I will bet, whoever kills the most vampires!" Li San said word by word, "Do you dare?"

"..." Wang Shiliu was silent.

Li San has already gone downstairs.

"Leaving the capital, there is still the world to go, why rush?"

"The capital city is broken, is there any place in the world to go?"

Li San walked to the tenth step.

Wang Shiliu suddenly slapped the railing, and said loudly: "Li San, I, Wang Shiliu, can't do anything else, bet... Who am I afraid of?!"

After all, he also went downstairs.

The two went out side by side, and Wang Shiliu suddenly shouted: "Guan Zi said, give up your life and forget your death!"

"Yiye!" Li San echoed loudly.

"Guanzi never said that!" Suddenly, someone said behind them.

"I want you to talk too much!" The two glared and looked back, but found that the person who spoke was none other than Xu Yan, the merchant from Chang'an back then.

They haven't met each other in these years, but they didn't expect to have a fate today, in this golden building where they spent money wildly in the past.

"Slaying monsters is such a pleasure, how could I be missing!" Xu Yan strode forward.

The sound of killing was loud outside, but the pace of the three of them was so bold.

On that day, the vampire attacked the capital, killing countless people, and the sky was stained with blood.

Mencius said: Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want.The two cannot be obtained at the same time, and those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness are also.

The era of burning oil is finally over.

　The first update, there is no guarantee that there will be a second update, because the person is out of town, if it cannot be updated, it will be made up tomorrow, that's it.
