Heroes Shed No Tears Chapter 3: Surprise
The sixteenth of the first month. "
Chang'an.
In the early morning, it is very cold.
When Zhuo Donglai got up, Sima Chaoqun was already waiting in the small hall, sitting on the chair covered with sable fur, drinking his wine in a crystal glass.
Only Sima Chaoqun could do this. One day there was a girl who thought Zhuo Donglai could not do without her. She was just sitting on this chair and she was thrown naked in the snow outside the door.
All of Zhuo Donglai is absolutely inviolable, except for Sima Chaoqun.
But Zhuo Donglai still let him wait outside for a long time before he put on a robe and walked out of the bedroom barefoot. The first sentence was to ask Sima: "You came so early, are you in a hurry to ask me yesterday? Why let Zhu Meng go."
"Yes." Sima said, "I know you must have many reasons, but unfortunately I can't even think of it."
Zhuo Donglai also sat down, sitting on a pile of soft sables. Usually, in front of Sima, he was always neatly dressed and respectful, and he never sat on the same level with Sima.
Because he wants to make others feel that Sima Chaoqun is always superior.
But now there are only two of them in the house.
"I can't kill Zhu Meng," Zhuo Dongwei said, "First, because I don't want to kill him, and second, because I'm not sure."
"Why don't you want to kill him?"
"He broke into our hinterland on a single horse, and calmly swung a knife to kill our general in front of the horse. He could have left, only because he wanted to accompany a friend to drink, so he stayed. "
He said lightly: "If I killed him at that time, people in the rivers and lakes will definitely say that'the lion' Zhu Meng is indeed a good man, a friend, loyalty, and courage." Zhuo Donglai sneered: " Didn't I kill him and made him perfect?"
Sima Chaoqun stared at the wine in the crystal glass, and after a long time he said coldly: "I know you must have a reason, but I can't figure out why you are not sure?" He asked Zhuo Donglai, "You bring There are so many good players who can't deal with the three of them?"
"Not three people, but four."
"Who is the fourth person?"
"I didn't see it, but I could feel that he was standing outside a window behind me." Zhuo Dong said, "Although he is standing far from the window, he seems to be close to me in my senses. The same behind."
"Why?"
"Because of his murderous intent." Zhuo Dong said: "I have never encountered such a terrible murderous intent in my life."
"You didn't look back at him?"
"I didn't. Because I knew that he had been staring at me, as if he had warned me specifically that as long as I did a little action, no matter what the action, he might make a move."
Zhuo Donglai said again: "Although I didn't see him, Gao Jianfei must have seen him."
"How do you know?"
"At that time, Gao Jianfei was sitting opposite me, facing the window. When I felt the murderous aura, Gao Jianfei's face changed, as if he had suddenly seen a ghost."
Zuo Dong said: "Gao Jianfei can definitely be regarded as the number one master among the rising swordsmen in recent years. If there is no special reason, why would you be so afraid of a stranger?"
Sima Chaoqun suddenly laughed and laughed.
"So you are also a little scared!" His laughter seemed to be full of ridicule: "Unexpectedly, when Ziqi Donglai Zhuo Donglai was also afraid, he was afraid of someone who hadn't even seen it before."
Zhuo Dongwei looked at him coldly, and after he finished laughing, he calmly said: "Although I haven't seen him, I already know who he is."
"He was promoting Sima's laughter and paused: "Do you think he is the one who assassinated Yang Jian? "
"Yes." Zhuo Dong said: "It must be."
He said: "This person must seldom walk in the rivers and lakes. He must have a special relationship with Zhu Meng, but he is definitely not Zhu Meng's subordinate." Zhuo Dong said: "This person must have never used The terrifying weapon someone has seen can emit the power of many different weapons at the same time."
"What else?" Sima asked.
"No more."
"Only so much do you know?"
"Up to now, I only know so much. I can't even imagine the shape of that weapon." Zhuo Donglai said lightly, "But I believe that I know more than anyone else. Too many."
Sima wanted to laugh, but didn't laugh.
Zhuo Donglai is his friend, a good friend who has lived and died together, and Zhuo Donglai is also his most effective helper.
But no one knows what it is for. When the two of them are alone, he always has to face Zhuo Donglai **** for tat, as if he is going to try his best to stab him.
Zhuo Donglai never resisted at all, and didn't even react at all.
After drinking another glass of wine, Sima suddenly asked Zhuo Donglai again:
"Sun Tong is dead now, where is Guo Zhuang?"
"Guozhuang is not here either."
"I saw him yesterday morning, why was he not here this morning?"
"Because I told him to rush to Luoyang yesterday morning," Zhuo Dong said, "As soon as I heard that Zhu Meng had arrived at the Honghua Fair, I told him to go."
Zhuo Dong said: "I want him to change horses every five hundred miles, and go day and night. He must arrive in Luoyang the day before Zhu Meng returns home."
Sima Chaoqun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly asked, "He must be able to get there in time?"
"Sure."
"What if he can't make it?"
Zhuo Donglai said lightly, "Then I will tell him to die in Luoyang and don't have to come back."
Sima Chaoqun did not ask Zhuo Donglai why he wanted Guo Zhuang to rush to Luoyang and what he was going to do.
He doesn't need to ask.
He has fully understood Fudong’s plans and actions.
——Zhu Meng Qingqi went far away. Since his generals did not follow, they would certainly meet them on the road. Before Zhu Meng hurried away, the internal defense of the "Lion Lion Hall" must be much weaker than usual. It was a good opportunity for them to rush to the raid.
——As long as you can grasp the best opportunity, one surprise attack is far more effective than ten hard fights.
This is Zhuo Donglai's most commonly used strategy.
This time the plan is indeed precise, bold and bold, which is exactly what Zhuo Donglai has always done.
Sima Chaoqun only asked Zhuo Donglai: "You only sent Guozhuang alone?"
"We also have someone in Luoyang." Zhuo Dong did not say, "Guozhuang did not go alone."
"Who else?"
"There are wooden chickens."
"Wooden chicken?" Sima moved his face, "You didn't kill him?"
"He has always been a very useful person, and he is also useful to us, why should I kill him?"
"He was sent by Zhu Meng to kill Yang Jian. Are you afraid that he will betray us?"
"Now it is not Yang Jian that he wants to kill, but Zhu Meng."
"Why?"
"Because he already knew that Zhu Meng just wanted to use him as a cover, and he deliberately wanted him not to die, because Zhu Meng had long since allowed him to never succeed," Zhuo Dong said, "He is not afraid of being used by others. , But he can't stand this insult."
Zhuo Donglai said again: "What's more, I paid him far more than Zhu Meng."
Sima looked at him with a ridiculous smile in his eyes.
"Now I know why you didn't kill Zhu Meng." Sima said: "You want him to go back alive, you want him to see with his own eyes what kind of painful lesson you have taught him, and to know how powerful you are. ."
He looked at Zhuo Donglai and smiled: "You have always been like this. You always want others to hate you and be afraid of you."
"Yes, I want Zhu Meng to be afraid, to make him be afraid and make unforgivable mistakes and stupid things." Zhuo Dong said, "It's just that I don't want him to be afraid of me, but to be afraid of you. .,
His voice is very soft: "No one knows who presided over this operation except ourselves."
Sima jumped up, and there were already green veins bulging on his forehead.
"But I know." He said loudly: "Why don't you even ask me if you want to make such a big thing? Why wait until you have done it before telling me?"
Zhuo Donglai's attitude is still very calm, staring at Sima Chaoqun with a calm and gentle eyes.
"Because what I want you to do is not this kind of thing." He said, "What I want you to do is a great thing. I want you to become an unprecedented hero in the world and complete an unprecedented hegemony in martial arts." /
Sima clenched his fists, stared at him for a long time, suddenly sighed, and his clenched fists relaxed.
But his people have stood up and walked out slowly.
Zuo Donglai suddenly asked him again: "Gao Jianfei is still near Chang'an, waiting for you to give him a reply, when are you going to fight him?"
Sima Chaoqun didn't even turn his head back.
"Whatever you want." His voice suddenly became very cold: "This kind of thing, you must have already planned it, anyway, no matter when it is to fight, he will not even have a chance, because you will never I'll give him a chance next time."
Sima said lightly, "So you don't have to come back and ask me about this kind of thing in the future."
When Gao Jianfei woke up, his hands and feet were almost frozen stiff.
In the small room of this cheap inn, there was originally a small brazier, but now the charcoal in the brazier has long been burned out.
He jumped up and made six to seventy strange poses on the bed. His body was like a noodle that could bend and twist with his thoughts. When he reached the eleventh pose , His whole body is already warm, and when he stops the meter, he only feels refreshed, radiant, and in a very happy mood.
He believes that he must be able to see the man carrying a box today.
After leaving the teahouse yesterday, he saw this man three more times, once by a small frozen river, once at the foot of a mountain, and once in an alley in Chang'an City.
He can see clearly.
Even though he hasn't seen this person's face clearly until now, the gray cotton robe and the dark brown cowhide box are absolutely unmistakable.
It's a pity that every time he rushes over, that person has suddenly disappeared like air.
He decided not to chase anymore, and decided to come back and sleep well before talking.
Because he has discovered that the person does not want to see him, otherwise he would not have deliberately appeared in front of him three times.
He must be testing him, testing his martial arts, testing whether he is malicious towards him.
Xiao Gao believes that if he stops looking for him, he will show up sooner or later.
Although the snow has stopped, the weather is colder. Xiao Gao decides to lose his bowl of hot noodle soup.
As soon as he arrived at the small noodle restaurant he often went to, Xiao Gao really saw the man and his box.
It's not time to have lunch, and there are not many customers in the small noodle shop.
This person was sitting in a corner where Xiao Gaochang was sitting, silently eating a bowl of noodles, eating the same cabbage noodle soup Xiao Gaochang eats.
His box is right beside him. A flat box is more than one foot wide and two feet long.
——What is in this box? How can such an ordinary box be the most terrifying weapon in the world?
Little Gao really wanted to rush over, grab this box of Yu, and open it.
But he resisted the urge.
No matter what, this time he finally saw the man's face clearly.
A waxy face, a pair of bleak eyes, a look of weakness, like a person who has been seriously ill for 16 or 8 years and is dying.
Although there are still many vacancies in the noodle shop, Xiao Gao still bit his head and walked over, sat down opposite this person, first ordered a bowl of noodles, and then immediately said to this person: "My surname is Gao, the mountains and rivers are high. "He told this person: "My name is Gao Jianfei, which means I'm about to fly gradually."
This person didn't respond at all, as if he hadn't seen someone sitting down on the other side.
The dark brown cowhide box is right next to the table, and Xiao Gao can reach it as soon as he reaches out.
What would happen if he reached out and picked up this box and turned around and ran?
Xiao Gao dare not try.
His courage has always been great, and there seems to be few things in the world that he dared not do.
However, this person who seems to be dying ill seems to have some mysterious power that is inexplicable and inconceivable by today's people, which is enough to make anyone dare not even blaspheme on him.
Xiao Gao stared at him for a long time, then suddenly lowered his voice and said in a voice that could only be heard by him alone: "I know it was you." Xiao Gao said, "I know that you are the one who killed Yang Jian. "
The man finally raised his head and glanced at him. A cold light flashed in those dim eyes suddenly, like a flash of lightning suddenly struck down in the dark sky.
But there was no thunder after the lightning.
The man immediately returned to his weak look, silently took out a few pennies and placed it on the table, silently lifted the box, and walked out silently.
Xiao Gao immediately chased him out.
This time this person did not suddenly disappear from the air like the previous three times.
He always walked in front, and walked very slowly, as if he was afraid that Xiao Gao would not be able to catch up with him.
After walking for a long time, Xiao Gao suddenly found that he was walking back into the alley where he had been seen yesterday.
There is no one in the back alley, it is a dead alley that can't go out.
Xiao Gao's heart beats.
——Did he bring me here because I already knew his secret, and use his mysterious box to kill me?
Xiao Gao didn't know what kind of weapon this box was, or if he could use the sword in his palm to resist.
Because he didn't know, he suddenly felt a kind of fear in his heart that he had never had before.
But this person does not look like he wants to be a person, nor does he look like he can be a person.
Now he has turned around and faced Xiao Gao. After a long time, he asked Xiao Gao in a calm and hoarse voice: "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know."
"Have you seen me before the fifteenth of the first lunar month?"
"Nothing."
"Do I look like someone who can kill?"
"It's not like."
"Have you ever seen me kill someone?"
"Nothing."
"Then why do you say that I killed Yang Jian?"
"Because of your box." Xiao Gao said: "I know this box is a very mysterious weapon, and it is very scary."
The man stared at Xiao Gao.
Xiao Gao's look, expression, standing posture, breathing rate, clothes material and coarse cloth baggage in his hands, he never let go of every part of his body.
He looked far more carefully than Zhuo Donglai, and his dull and dull eyes seemed to hide some kind of precision hidden weapon specially made to observe others.
Then asked Xiao Gao in the same calm voice: "You said your name is Gao Jianfei?"
"Where are you from?"
"From the mountain."
"Is it a very high mountain?" He asked Xiao Gao, "Is there a spring, an ancient pine where you live?"
"Did the clothes you wear were spun from the cotton and linen produced by the mountain back?"
Xiao Gao has already begun to feel surprised that this person knows more about him than anyone.
"Is there an old man in that mountain who likes to drink tea?" He asked Xiaogao again: "Does he often sit under the ancient pine and make tea with the spring water there?"
"Yes." Xiao Shang said: "He told me about your box."
"Did he tell you about me?"
"Nothing."
The man stared at Xiao Gao, and a cold light in his gloomy eyes asked: "He has never mentioned me? He hasn't even mentioned anything about me?"
"Absolutely not." Xiao Gao said: "His old man just told me that the most terrifying weapon in the world is a box."
"Have you ever told anyone?"
"Nothing."
"Does anyone know where you came from?"
"Nothing."
Xiao Gao said: "Zhuo Donglai once inspected my clothes and wanted to tell from the quality of my clothes where I came from, but unfortunately he didn't see anything."
He grows the cotton and linen himself, the cloth is woven by himself, and the clothes are sewn by himself. The mountain is an unknown mountain. Apart from them, no mortal has ever set foot on it.
Xiao Gao smiled: "Even if Zhuo Donglai has great abilities, he never wants to find out where I came from."
"Where is your sword?" The man asked, "Has anyone seen your sword?"
"There are a few."
"How many people?"
"A few dead people." Xiao Gao said: "Everyone who has seen my sword has died under my sword."
"Is there anything special about your sword?"
"Yes."
"What's special?"
"There is a strange mark on the spine of this sword, which looks like a tear."
The person carrying the box suddenly showed an expression that no one could explain, as if he was sad and happy.
"Tears, tears, it turns out that there is such a sword in the world." He muttered, "Why are there tears on the killing sword? Why is there such a sword in the world?"
Xiao Gao couldn't answer.
This is a very strange question at first, and maybe no one can answer it at all.
Xiao Gao finally couldn't help asking him: "Now you can tell me who you are? How can you know so much about me?"
The man closed his mouth and said nothing, but suddenly he flicked his **** with his thumb and made a crisp sound.
Xiao Gao immediately heard the sound of wheels rolling and horseshoeing on the ground.
When he turned his head to look, there was already a pair of black-painted carriages parked outside this alley.
The person carrying the box has already walked over with his box, opened the door and got into the car, and then asked Xiao Gao: "Can't you get on?"
——Where did this carriage come from?
Xiao Gao doesn't know.
——Where is this carriage going?
Xiao Gao doesn't know either.
But he went up, even if he knew that these two carriages came from **** and wanted to drive him back to hell, he would go up too.
The carriage is spacious, comfortable and gorgeous. The carriage walks extremely fast and steady. The four horses pulling the carriage and the coachman who drive the carriage are all well-trained. The yoke wheels and carriages are undoubtedly specially designed, even if In the coach house and stables of the princely wealthy, there may not necessarily be such good carriages and horses.
How could this ordinary person with coarse appearance and rough clothes own such a luxurious carriage?
Xiao Gao had many questions to ask him, but he closed his eyes as soon as he got in the car, and fell asleep as soon as he closed the ceiling.
The mysterious box was placed on the seat beside him.
Xiao Gao's heart moved again.
——If I secretly open it and take a look, I don’t know what will happen to him? I just took a look. Even if he finds it, it probably doesn't matter.
This temptation is too big, too big to resist.
Xiao Gao finally couldn't help but stretched out his hand.
His hands are extremely dexterous and he has received extremely strict training. In an experiment, ~IndoMTL.com~, he continuously opened thirty good locks made by eleven master craftsmen. l
Those locks are difficult for others to open even if they have a key, but he only uses a piece of iron wire.
The machine spring on the box was quickly found by him. He only heard a soft sound of "Grid" and the machine spring had been removed.
The owner of the box is still asleep.
——What is in the box? Why is it the scariest weapon in the world?
The secret was finally revealed, and Xiao Gao's heart beat faster.
He lifted the lid gently but slowly, and what seemed to be in the box were just some strange-shaped iron pipes and iron parts. There are about thirteen or four pieces, each of which is different in form and size.
Unfortunately, Xiao Gao did not see clearly.
As soon as the box was opened, he suddenly smelled a faint scent like mastiff.
Then he fainted.
