Chapter 1071: Oath (Additional Chapter for 8,000 Monthly Votes)

Daishan County, Jiujiang City.

Jiujiang City, once known as the fourth county of Zhuang State, became just Jiujiang City after the emergence of the real fourth county, Yongchang County.

It was Jiujiang City under the jurisdiction of the governor of Daishan County.

The reason for this is that Duan Li, the commander of Jiujiang Xuanjia, who once had the hope of divine presence, had been abolished in the Battle of Zhuangyong.

Although Zhuang Ting was extremely gracious and rewarded him constantly, and even refused to resign, forcibly pressing him to the position of the commander of Jiujiang Xuanjia.

But everyone knew that this was only the last glory.

Although the afterglow of the sunset was beautiful, it was about to dissipate.

Duan Li was no longer able to take charge of the specific affairs of Jiujiang Xuanjia...

The reason why this state is still maintained is that Duan Li was loyal and brave for the country, and he was abolished because of the country. Replacing him rashly would chill people's hearts. Second, after the Battle of Zhuangyong, Zhuang State could not find a person who could replace Duan Li for the time being.

It takes time for Zhuangguo to digest the meat that it has bitten off from Yongguo. It takes time for the new generation of strong men in the country to grow. Strong men who come from outside also need to confirm their loyalty before they can be used.

So things have been delayed...

In fact, the current Jiujiang Xuanjia is composed of five generals including Du Yehu, each of whom is in charge of a matter.

And the governor of Daishan County also comes to Jiujiang City for "inspections" from time to time. It is well known that he wants to grasp this powerful army.

Speaking of which, Du Yehu, who first climbed the Dragon Lock Pass, now has a prestige in Jiujiang Xuanjia second only to Duan Li.

In the ancient military practice, only one in a thousand survives. Even those who survived are mostly useless and lose all their future.

So this method is gradually no longer tried in the present world.

But in the era when the meridian-opening pill had not yet appeared, it was countless people with ordinary qualifications who could not open their meridians naturally who attacked the Dao meridians with the courage to die...

When the extraordinary cultivators who attacked with human lives grew up, they had the power to support the ancient human race.

Today, with more choices, it undoubtedly takes greater courage to take the path of blood and qi to open the meridians.

Du Yehu walked out and succeeded, which of course makes people admire him more.

Military strategists value killing.

He experienced an extremely fierce national war, and fought in the most intense place of the war.

He also successfully cleared the fog of ignorance and knocked on the inner palace.

In terms of strength, he is the best of the current Jiujiang Xuanjia. Duan Li has been abolished, and the other generals are only in the inner palace realm.

But with the strength of the inner palace realm, it is definitely not enough to control a strong army like Jiujiang Xuanjia. So even with Duan Li's support, the other generals are not convinced.

In short, the current Jiujiang Xuanjia is roughly like this.

When sweeping the ferocious beasts in the territory, they will occasionally go out together. But in fact, it has been split into five parts, each doing its own thing. It can only be reorganized when the new commander is determined.

Du Yehu can't manage these things, let alone manage them.

He just wants to drink and fight, and doesn't care about other things.

Now there is only one more thing - visiting Duan Li and drinking with Duan Li.

Although the doctors said that Duan Li can't drink alcohol in his current state. Even when the prime minister came to visit, he strictly ordered Duan Li not to drink anymore - but who cares!

In Duan Li's words, I'm useless, I don't have any interest in life, and I'm not allowed to drink, what's the point of living! I might as well die early and be reborn early!

And Du Yehu never persuaded him, he just drank with him.

"You bastard!"

At the table, Duan Li suddenly raised his hand and slapped Du Yehu's messy hair: "I asked you to drink with me, not to drink my wine! You drank one and a half kilograms of two kilograms of wine, and I'm going to drink nothing?"

Although he had lost his cultivation, he was still very strong in hitting people.

Du Yehu glanced at him, wiped his hair without any pain, and gulped down another bowl.

This bastard Duan always told him to pay attention to his demeanor and appearance, and to be a Confucian general, and he always talked about "the style of a famous general". Now that he is useless, it's interesting, his true colors are revealed, and he curses all day long.

It's really interesting!

He, Mr. Du, is open-minded and doesn't care about it. And this wine is really good. Just let him be.

Duan Li was very upset when he saw his unmoved reaction. He cursed, "Sooner or later, you will have to waste my little pension."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Du Yehu finally responded, "You are not dead, what pension or no pension? That's called a reward!"

"Reward his mother! I exchanged my life for it!" Duan Li suddenly exploded.

His face flushed, and it seemed that his eyes were also red: "This is just a little in exchange!"

The explosion was a bit inexplicable, but not sudden.

He is a person who is truly expected to break the mortal lifespan and have the opportunity to achieve the presence of God.

He is also truly loyal to the country and is willing to sacrifice his head and shed blood.

But he shouldn't be deceived...

"Okay, okay." Du Yehu patted his back like coaxing a child, and said casually, "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and troubles follow. Come on, drink, drink!"

"You only know how to drink! Good-for-nothing!" Duan Li cursed him viciously, raised the bowl, and poured the wine into his stomach.

He continued to curse: "My Jiujiang Black Armor is about to be defeated by you sons of bitches!"

Du Yehu wiped the saliva from Xingzi's face, poured him another bowl of wine, and continued to say perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, it's really hateful."

Lifting his wine bowl: "Come on, Lao Duan, let's have another bowl."

Duan Li's face turned red and he looked at him fiercely for a long time.

Seeing that Du Yehu had already drank the third bowl by himself, he cursed: "I really don't know how I became blind in the first place and wanted to give Jiujiang Xuanjia to you!"

He even suddenly started crying: "I used to be called Master Duan, but now I'm called Lao Duan!"

Du Yehu was really helpless: "You told me when we were drinking the day before yesterday that from now on we will become brothers and let me call you Brother Duan. I said that's not good, but you said you would call me Lao Duan. You forgot so quickly. "

Duan Li waved his hand, stood up, and drank like crazy: "Does what was said at the wine table count?"

"Okay, okay, it can't be calculated, Master, Master Duan, Tiger is wrong!"

Du Yehu quickly pulled him back to his seat: "I'll apologize to you. Come on, I'll do it first out of respect."

He raised his head and drank a bowl of it neatly.

After finishing the drink, he wiped his mouth and said, "I'll drink three bowls in a row to express my apology!"

Then he started pouring wine again.

"Stop it!" Duan Li slapped the table and took down all the food and wine on the table: "Do you think I drank too much? Do you want to take this opportunity to take away my belongings? Damn, are you crazy for drinking too much? "

Du Yehu glanced at the wine jar regretfully, feeling that he had almost spent enough time with him today, and it was time to go back to sleep... Isn't life just about drinking, sleeping, and killing people?

So he said: "Look what you said. Then come here today, and I will come with you next time!"

After saying that, he stood up, patted his butt and left. It can be said that he came and left calmly.

When you come, your hands are empty, but when you leave, your belly is full.

"Stop!" Duan Li shouted to stop him.

Du Yehu turned around helplessly: "What's wrong?"

After the war between Zhuang and Yong, Duan Li was always like this, always drunk and crazy, acting like a child.

In his early years, he focused on Jiujiang Xuanjia. He never married and had no children. Now that he has passed away, his temperament has changed drastically, and there is no one close to him to take care of him.

No one cared about the disabled general, so Du Yehu had no choice but to come and see him often.

But when it comes to taking care of people, he is really not good at it. That is to say, drinking with him, and enjoying his alcohol addiction by the way - now he is officially an army general, with a bunch of brothers under his command. His little salary was all divided. I can afford to drink by myself, but it's a bit difficult to drink such good wine.

Duan Li stood unsteadily, pointed at him and said, "You can deny what I said when I was drinking. But you can't. No matter what you say at any time, you have to admit it!"

Du Yehu scratched his head and said perfunctorily: "Recognize, recognize, recognize."

He took a few steps forward and said, "Come on, Mr. Duan, I'll help you go to the bed to rest."

"Stop! Don't come over!" Duan Li was drunk: "I haven't told you what to recognize!"

Du Yehu had no choice but to stop: "I recognize everything, okay? Mr. Duan, you've been drinking all day. It's getting dark. It's time for you to go to bed."

"Bah! It's time for you to sleep!" Duan Li spat at him: "I'm very awake!"

If it were another person, regardless of his identity, Du Laohu would have slapped him with a slap in the face. Mr. Du never spoils anyone. Only Duan Li...

Since he entered Jiujiang Xuanjia, he has been taking great care of him.

He drank too much, got into fights and made trouble, slept day and night, often had murderous intentions on the battlefield and disobeyed military orders many times...

One after another, Duan Li helped him suppress them, and even promoted him to the rank of Jiujiang Xuanjia's general.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the kindness is as heavy as a mountain.

Du Yehu sighed: "Yes, I said something wrong. Please calm down. How about I give you another bowl of wine as punishment?"

What responded to him was a military boot: "Get out of here!"

Du Yehu turned his head and walked out with a smile.

Now get out, he wants it.

"Stop for me!" Duan Li shouted again.

Du Yehu stopped helplessly: "What's wrong, my Mr. Duan!"

"Say it!" Duan Li suddenly curled his lips, his face full of alcohol, and looked a little aggrieved: "No matter what I ask you to do, you must promise me!"

The once majestic and promising commander-in-chief of Jiujiang Xuanjia has become what he is now. Drinking alcohol every day to drown his sorrows and wallow in mischief.

It is impossible to say that Du Yehu didn't feel uncomfortable watching this.

But there are so many uncomfortable things in the world, so what can we do!

Nothing can be done, nothing can ever be done.

Just drink, sleep, and kill.

Just let the strong liquor pass through the intestines and hope it can be taken away!

"I promise you." Du Yehu said in a low voice.

"You swear!" Duan Li looked at him eagerly.

Du Yehu sighed: "I swear."

Duan Li said again: "You swore poison!"

"Okay." Du Yehu was helpless: "I swear."

"Say it!" Duan Li seemed to be on the verge of a fight: "If you don't do it, your whole family will die!"

"You tell me, I can do whatever I want." Du Yehu thought he was just drunk and coaxed, "If I don't do it, my whole family will die."

Anyway, the whole family is already dead...

Duan Li settled for a while, seemed to think about it, and then said: "Add one more thing. If you don't obey my instructions and do it, you will never drink alcohol for the rest of your life!"

Du Yehu's eyes widened: "Old Duan! Are you too poisonous?"

"Hahaha." Duan Li laughed with his hands on his hips. After laughing, he repeated: "Swear!"

Today, Duan Li was unusually stubborn.

I don’t know if it was because he drank too much or because he felt too aggrieved. He could only torture people like this.

Du Yehu said helplessly: “If I don’t listen to you, I will never drink alcohol in my life. Okay? Go to bed quickly!”

“No!” Duan Li waved his hand: “You agreed too readily, not sincerely! I want to change my oath!”

He stretched out his finger and circled it in the air for a long time. Finally, as if he suddenly thought of something, he pointed at Du Yehu and said: “You swear, if you don’t listen to me, your dead brother will not be reborn!”

Du Yehu’s face sank for the first time.

“You’re going too far!”

The atmosphere in the room became very solemn.

But Duan Li just stared at him drunkenly and stubbornly, as if he must make him agree.

"Whatever you want me to do, I will do it for you with my life. I can do anything. I owe you! But there is no need to say these words." Du Yehu turned and walked out: "I hope you are just drunk today!"

"Why do I want you to fight for your life?" Duan Li suddenly roared behind him: "You are such a person who doesn't take your life seriously, what is your life worth! Do I care about it?"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Du Yehu turned around like an angry lion, walked a few steps to Duan Li, and grabbed his collar: "Are you wronged? Are you angry? You were tricked into fighting on the battlefield, fighting hard for people to watch, and finally became a waste, but you dare not say anything. Do you want me to help you get revenge!?"

He let go of Duan Li, drew the saber from his waist, and walked out murderously: "I'm going to Xin'an now!"

"Fuck you!" Duan Li grabbed his arm from behind, but not only did he fail to grab it, but he was dragged to fall here.

Ping-pong for a while.

The chairs were crushed, the tables were knocked down, and the wine jars were smashed...

The half-remaining wine and food poured all over his head, making him look so embarrassed.

This was Duan Li, the commander of Jiujiang Xuanjia, who was once the top figure in the military of Zhuang State and second only to Huangfu Duanming!

Du Yehu had already rushed to the door with great momentum, but at this moment, he had to stop.

All the murderous spirit was gone.

He sheathed his knife, turned around, peeled off the wine and food on Duan Li's head and face, and helped him up.

"I promise you." Du Yehu said in a muffled voice, "No matter what you ask me to do, I will promise you. I swear a poisonous oath, the most poisonous oath."

He paused and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to worry about in this world."

Duan Li looked at him. At this time, there was no more wine in his eyes, and he was no longer drunk. He looked at him straight and said, "Yehu, I don't have a son, I treat you as my son. I have become what I am today, hated by people and ghosts, and only you are willing to follow me, coax me, and listen to me!"

The general who once exhausted the last bit of Tao Yuan and blood on the battlefield of Zhuangyong to chase the opponent shook his head and said very solemnly, "I don't want you to fight for me, I want you to fight for yourself!"

He roared, "Promise me!"

Maybe he drank too much wine, Du Yehu now feels a little dry in his throat. He realized that Duan Li might not be drunk from beginning to end. Tonight's conversation may change everything that exists...

But how can he refuse?

His father was a butcher and died a long time ago. The fragile man in front of him had indeed played the role of the missing "father" for a long time, and had been protecting him.

"I promise you." Du Yehu said: "I promise you with the peace of my brothers who died in Fenglin City."

But the first sentence Duan Li said almost made him unable to stand.

"Not all your brothers in Fenglin City are dead!"

"What did you say?" Du Yehu grabbed Duan Li's arms and stared at him with an extremely serious look: "What did you say?"

Facing such eyes, Duan Li knew that if he was joking today. Then the friendship between him and Du Yehu would end here.

"Sit down and talk." Duan Li tried to calm him down.

Du Yehu let go.

At that moment just now, his arm was almost broken. Duan Li shook his arm, there was nothing to be particular about, and found a place where he could still stand and sat on the ground.

Du Yehu followed closely and sat on the ground, his eyes still fixed on him.

Duan Li sighed and said, "Someone came to me today and told me a piece of news. Don't ask me who that person is, I promised to keep it secret."

He also paid attention to Du Yehu's expression and said slowly, "The participant of the inner court of Qi State in the Yellow River Conference this time is named... Jiang Wang!"

Du Yehu closed his eyes deeply.

After a long time, he opened them.

"Impossible." He shook his head and said, "If the third brother is not dead, he can't not contact me."

Although he denied it, his lips trembled a little.

Duan Li looked at him with some heartache, looking at this young man who looked anxious but was actually very simple and innocent: "If you can think about why I forced you to swear that kind of poisonous oath before I was willing to tell you the news. You should know that this is true."

Du Yehu didn't speak for a while.

The fall of Fenglin City was originally a little unclear. The sudden death of the old city lord Liu Yian was also one of the doubts.

But except for Dong A, there is no living person and no evidence in the entire Maple Forest City.

All Dong A can say is whatever he says.

So since Jiang Wang is still alive, why didn't he come to find him?

Why did you go all the way to Qi State in the Eastern Region?

The answer to this question is actually not difficult to guess.

Duan Li added: "During the national war last year, Dong A was stabbed to death on the streets of Xin'an. The person who killed him left a piece of jade. It was the jade Dong A once wore. No one else knew who the jade was. Yes, I think you should know."

Yes. Of course Du Yehu knew.

In the letters Jiang Wang later sent him, he showed off more than once how much the dean valued him, how outstanding his talent was, and how he would support his brothers in the future.

Although he didn't have time to see with his own eyes what the Jade Jue that the boy showed off looked like. But there is probably nothing else that can be connected with Dong Ah.

All the wine in Du Yehu's blood woke up.

But there was a fire burning in his heart.

All that wine was poured on those fires.

Hot, painful...angry.

"So, the destruction of Maplewood City was a conspiracy. It was related to Dong A and the emperor. So the third child of my family went to Qi State in the Eastern Region alone because he wanted to take revenge. So he refused Are you contacting me because you’re afraid that I’ll be impulsive and do something bad?”

Du Yehu said, gritting his teeth, trying to get up while talking.

Duan Li held him down hard and said with a stern voice: "Have you forgotten the oath you swore???"

Du Yehu was stunned.

The third child is alive... The third child is alive and wants to take revenge alone.

But the eldest brother and the fifth child are both gone...

He had just sworn their peace after death.

He sat there blankly, his head lowered.

The full beard on his face probably hides his emotions very well.

His big calloused hands covered his face.

The veins on the back of his hands popped out, and his body was trembling, but he didn't make a sound.

Duan Li was silent for a long time, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Dong A once told me something. He said that if one day, the secret of Maplewood City is exposed, ask me to kill you. Now, Jiang Wang's appearance at the Yellow River Meeting means that this secret can't be kept secret, at least from you. With Du Ruhui's ability, the whole world may not believe Jiang Wang. You will definitely believe him."

Du Yehu calmed down slowly.

But still didn't look up.

His voice full of hatred came out from between his fingers: "What is going on...those hundreds of thousands of people, my brothers...what is going on in Maplewood City?"

"The White Bones Way wants to use hundreds of thousands of people in Maplewood City to refine the White Bones True Pill. The imperial court has known the clues for a long time. Zhuang Gaoxian has been hiding in the deep palace to recuperate. Zhuang Guo has been dormant and weak for many years. He needs this White Bones True Pill. The recovery of the injury is unbelievable. Therefore, including Du Ruhui, Huangfu Duanming, and Dong A, they acquiesced in the tragedy," Duan Li said.

Du Yehu removed his hands and raised his head.

Duan Li saw that his eyes were bloodshot and looked bloody.

"I'm going to kill them." Du Yehu gritted his teeth and said, "Old Duan, I must kill them. I'm going to kill every one of them, everyone involved... one by one! "

"But you can't kill them. You can't kill anyone." Duan Li said calmly and cruelly.

Du Yehu's whole body was shaking with extreme hatred: "Even if I die, I will bite off their flesh..."

"Even if you die, you won't be able to hurt them even a hair." Duan Li interrupted him.

"You have to live, Tiger, you promised me, you have to live." Duan Li said.

The once majestic but now useless commander of Jiujiang Xuanjia sighed and said: "The person who sent me the news must have hoped that you could escape from here. But you can't escape."

He said: "You can't escape Du Yehu."

"You have escaped from Jiang Wang, you have escaped from Zhu Weiwo, Zhuang Gaoxian and other mean and unkind people, and they will not let you escape again. It is too far from here to Qi State, you can't escape."

"There's only one way."

He slowly lowered his head and hugged Du Yehu, like a father hugging his son.

They were head to head.

"There is only one way..." Duan Li said slowly.

This room was full of crying, fussing, and tormenting today, this room where all the attendants had been driven away, leaving only the two of them drinking together.

This room is hot, tormenting, and burning with certain emotions.

It seemed that at this moment, it finally calmed down.

After a long time...

"What nonsense!" Du Yehu's painful voice suddenly sounded.

But he was immediately suppressed by Duan Li's stern voice: "Think about the oath you swore!"

Three chapters in one!

Also the additional monthly passes of 7,000, 7,500, and 8,000 last month.

(I asked myself more than once why I ordered a monthly ticket of 500 plus one update...)
