Chapter 156 Three Verses Determine Your Life

This time the prisoner thought for a long time before slowly shaking his head: "I have no impression. However, General Lu often goes out alone and does not let us follow him. This is a habit developed a long time ago."

He Chunhua stood up and said, "Okay, Qinghe, treat his wounds and get him some food and drink. Since you cooperate, this is what he deserves."

The father and son walked out of the woodshed.

He Lingchuan asked him: "Dad, do you want to report this inside story to the royal court?"

"Yes, but it will have to be delayed until ten days later. The prisoner will be the witness and will be handed over at that time."

He Yue nodded.

He Lingchuan wondered: "Why ten days later?"

"Send the report now. If Wang Ting replies, I might be allowed to stay at Woling Pass to investigate the matter." He Chunhua smiled, "What is our top priority?"

"Of course I'm going to Xiazhou to take office!"

It is false to say that anything else is urgent. The first priority for He Chunhua is to sit upright and take the position of the general manager of Xiazhou!

So He Lingchuan realized: "Dad is so cunning!"

In five or seven days at most, they will board the ship and head north. In ten days they will be almost at Shihuan City, and in a few days they will reach Xiazhou. After Wang Ting received the report, if he wanted to investigate Hong Qianqian's military solution, he would have to send someone else.

After everything was said, He Lingchuan yawned and stood up: "I'm going to go back to bed. Dad, you should be early." After all, he had been busy all day.

However, he and He Yue had just taken two steps when they were stopped by their father again: "Chuan'er, you are very brave in leaving Duan Hou this morning. I am very happy for my father."

He Lingchuan turned around with a smile, and was about to receive a few more compliments, but He Chunhua immediately said: "However, this will not be allowed in the future."

"Huh?" He Lingchuan was stunned, "Dad, don't you want to praise me?"

"There are three hundred supporting troops. Since we have capable people to stop the rear, there is no need for the eldest son to go into battle in person." He Chunhua said warmly, "What's the use of being brave and brave? You are a lucky general, but good luck will sometimes fail, so you can't rely on it. You When you are sixteen, a real man should know what to do and what not to do. Before putting himself in danger, he should always think about his mother and his brother. "

He Lingchuan stayed for a while and then said "Oh": "I know."

After that, he turned around and left.

Returning to the small courtyard where he stayed, He Yue said to him: "After my eldest brother fell off the cliff, Zhao Qinghe came to report the bad news. My father was very sad, but he still had to manage the safety of hundreds of people. His words were not meant to blame at all. Don't let go. In the heart."

He Lingchuan shrugged: "You think I take it seriously?"

It was night, and the two of them slept in the same room.

In fact, He Lingchuan always felt that something was strange. If it were the original person, his lungs would probably burst with anger: he finally got the limelight, only to be lectured by his father.

However, as soon as he lay down now, his mind was filled with a few verses left to him by the old turtle demon:

Seeking life in death, hiding one's strength and guarding one's weakness.

Exploring the truth from the imaginary,...

This old guy really likes to play riddles. He Lingchuan really wanted to stir out all the yolks.

He wants to live.

He wants to live a wonderful life in this troubled world where strange forces confuse gods and human lives are taken lightly.

But he still had to guess the riddle first.

The old turtle said that he didn't have enough skills and the secret of heaven was distorted, so he could only glimpse this. He Lingchuan had better accept it, otherwise there would be no other way.

The first two sentences of these three verses are easy to understand. If you want to survive, you have to be secretive and show less edge. He has been doing this since he traveled through time. Now at least he knows that he has done nothing wrong.

If you are like the young man with a golden retriever spirit who spreads dirt around the village and only knows how to be reckless and aggressive, and thinks that retribution is the only way to live a happy life, and that all the heroes in the world must make way for his protagonist, then his ashes may have been buried long ago. Raised.

However, he would occasionally show his weaknesses. For example, when he showed off his talents in Xianling Village and Xishan Road before, everyone saw him.

The key is in the last sentence.

What does it mean to explore the truth in a virtual way? He Lingchuan recalled the experience of entering the Coiling Dragon Dreamland twice for no reason.

Could it be referring to this?

And he always felt that these three verses were so light and airy, as if they were missing a final line.

Look at this format, you need a fourth sentence to make it catchy, right?

As a result, the old turtle said with embarrassment that he couldn't figure out the fourth sentence, so he asked He Lingchuan to think of making up for it himself in the future.

Can you still make up for it yourself?

He Lingchuan thought for a long time but didn't have any more clues, and he couldn't discuss it with others.

It was impossible to express these experiences, not to mention that the old turtle demon had also warned him that these verses could only be kept in his heart and never written down.

Oh, what a shame.

But no matter what, he knew that his future was likely to be turned upside down by these three verses.

This is not a curse but a prophecy. The curse can be undone, but the prophecy is... He had better obey and save his life first, and then try to make a comeback.

After two thrilling days in a row, He Yue was mentally exhausted and couldn't sleep.

While he was tossing and turning, he heard his brother snoring gradually. He wondered if he was flexing his muscles in his sleep.

He is so big-hearted. He Yue sometimes envies this simple brother.

￥￥￥￥￥

In the early morning of the next day, He Lingchuan was mercilessly awakened.

A visitor came to the door, and He Chunhua asked him to come quickly.

The other bed was unoccupied and the bedding had been neatly packed. Apparently He Yue had gone out to do errands for his father early in the morning.

He Lingchuan knew what was going on, so he hurriedly washed his face and hurried over, putting on his coat on the way.

When I entered the hall, I saw that Wu Shaoyi was indeed here, talking to He Chunhua.

Both of them had smiles on their faces. As soon as Wu Shaoyi saw He Lingchuan, she said: "Master He, please be patient in the future!"

"Hey, no problem. I was worried about you last night." He Lingchuan lied with his eyes open. "How is your health now?"

Wu Shaoyi sighed: "How can the deficiency of qi and blood be cured in a day or two? Just hold on and it will be over." He used a secret technique to replace the injury, but he had lost too much blood before, and his organs were also slightly weakened. If he didn't take good care of it, he wouldn't be able to recover in ten days or half a month.

"The doctor in my team is very skilled. He will arrange your medicine and diet. Just take good care of yourself." He Chunhua was very happy and turned to He Lingchuan and said, "There are also three hundred elite soldiers who followed General Wu to join us. They must be properly settled!"

He Chunhua went to Xiazhou. Of course, the more talents he had under his command, the better. This person has general talent and soldiers, both of which are ready. Although he can no longer fight on the battlefield, once he joins, the strength of the supporting army will also increase greatly.

Wu Shaoyi shook his head and smiled: "What kind of general is he? I am now the deputy general of the supporting army."

He Chunhua really gave him a position as a deputy general in the army according to the conditions agreed by his eldest son.

Everyone laughed.

Taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere, He Lingchuan quickly asked about the battle in Desheng Town.

It turned out that after Wu Shaoyi arrived in Desheng Town by water, he carried out harassment-style guerrilla warfare against the bandit Lu stationed in the town, especially attacking his horses. It is not easy to steal horses, but it is not difficult to kill them.

It happened that these horses were also raised not far from the stream. Because there were too few water troughs in the town, the bandit Lu had no time to take them back, and the Crocodile God and his men took the opportunity to eat more than a dozen horses.

He Chunhua sighed: "It's a pity that Pei Xinyong refused to surrender."

Pei Xinyong didn't want to surrender, nor did he want others to know his whereabouts. Of course, he would leave as soon as possible after the battle of Desheng Town.

In fact, it was more than Pei Xinyong? Wu Shaoyi recalled all his subordinates, told them about his future plans, and asked the brothers who were willing to join the officers and soldiers to stay.

As a result, half of them left.

"I have advised him, but unfortunately everyone has their own ambitions. He said he would never return to the officialdom." Wu Shaoyi spread his hands, "I asked him about his future plans, but he only said to take one step at a time and did not tell me where he would go in the future."

Although they were old brothers who fought side by side in the past, one of them was on the public rations while the other continued to be a bandit, so they were destined to go their separate ways.

He Chunhua sighed: "What a pity."

The three chatted for a while, and He Chunhua got up and left.

He would never finish his business.

He Lingchuan poured Wu Shaoyi a glass of water: "I have good wine here. When your injury is healed, let's drink a couple of glasses."

Wu Shaoyi readily agreed.

"What do you mean when you said that Pei Xinyong would never return to the officialdom?" He Lingchuan was very sharp-eared. "Has he ever been an official?"

"He worked in Longxia Zhechongfu for six years and became Guoyi Duwei. In the year when Chonghe River was flooded, Longxia Zhechongfu was ordered to help transport relief supplies. At that time, old Pei was young and straightforward. He couldn't stand the officialdom's habit of taking advantage of others and taking advantage of others. He was also deeply encouraged when he heard that the king wanted to enforce strict discipline and laws and rectify the administration of officials. So he reported his superiors for corruption and reselling supplies."

So Pei Xinyong had such past? He Lingchuan was very interested: "Then what happened?"

"Then he was trying to stop a chariot with his bare hands. His superior was fine the whole time, but the crime was pinned directly on his head, and there was evidence and witnesses, so he couldn't defend himself. He didn't even need a trial, he was dismissed from his post and imprisoned, and was tortured severely. His buttocks were rotten, and he almost died in prison. When others rescued him from prison, there were still maggots crawling in the wound on his waist. Although the wound was healed later, he also suffered from a deficiency."

Wu Shaoyi shrugged: "That's why Old Pei often said that Da Yuan is Da Yuan. He is not interested in officialdom, nor is he interested in Lord He's recruitment."

He Lingchuan didn't know what to say.

After a while, he continued to ask Wu Shaoyi:

"I still don't understand one thing. From what you said, Hong Xiangqian should be a great man, why did he use a notorious cannibal like Lu Yao? Isn't he afraid of thieves, um, the reputation of the righteous army being ruined?"

"In fact, in the eyes of the Holy Master, Lu Yao is no different from us." Wu Shaoyi sighed faintly, "They are all knives that kill people, maybe he is faster and sharper."

He Lingchuan pondered this sentence carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

What is the difference between a good and a bad knife? The key is to see who holds it in the hand.

Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Lu Yao's little hobby of cannibalism and the little stain on his morality may not even be considered trivial in Hong Xiangqian's eyes.

Having said that, Wu Shaoyi didn't know that the Holy Master died in order to survive in the world, and He Lingchuan didn't intend to tell him.

Lu Yao often got drunk later. That should be after properly settling Hong Xiangqian's soul?

How long a person's soul can exist after death depends on the strength of the primordial spirit. For an ordinary person, it lasts about seven days, while a person with a strong primordial spirit can last a little longer, just for a while.
