Chapter 580

("my name is Du Shuan"

The only tiger mouth stream scout who was not beaten poured the wine that Fang Xie handed him into his mouth, and the liquor flowed down his jaw like a stream. He seemed to calm down after drinking half a bag. The hot liquor burned down his throat, and his stomach immediately became warm.

He smiled bitterly and looked up at Fang Xie: "In fact, I saw you a long time ago, but your status is becoming more and more noble and your work is getting bigger and bigger. Naturally, I won't remember me, who was just sitting in the corner watching you talk and laugh. When you sat together drinking and talking, I and others surrounded you with giggles. Later, you entered the martial arts academy without accident, and I fell behind The list had to wait in the capital for the Ministry of war to redistribute. "

Hearing these words, Fang Xie's heart moved fiercely: "are you the original candidate of the martial arts academy? Born in the border army?"

Du Shuan nodded and said, "yes... When I was selected as the candidate of the Ministry of military affairs, I was also in high spirits. When I arrived in the capital, I found that it was far from my expectations. Not every candidate was qualified to study in the martial arts academy. I came from a poor family. Although the Ministry of military affairs paid money after I arrived in the capital, it was not enough to socialize."

He paused and smiled at himself: "I was almost out of money when I got together in the restaurant that day. I was embarrassed to go, but I was dragged to the restaurant by others. In the restaurant that day, you, the senior general, are the most dazzling. In particular, you, the senior general, are the youngest and most admired of all the candidates in the military department. Everyone is around you, and I can only stand Watching giggle. "

Fang Xie said, "there were really too many people at that time, and those things happened later, so I didn't talk to you. I'm sorry."

Du Shuan shook his head: "I'm sorry. What happened later that day really frightened me. No one expected that the emperor would go to the restaurant in person, and I haven't seen you since. Later, when you entered the martial arts academy, you were excellent in all subjects, and I was eliminated in the liberal arts examination. Later, I waited for the reassignment of the Military Ministry in the capital, but because the Minister of the Military Ministry and the Chamberlain first After being dismissed by the emperor, we candidates who failed to make the list can only wait in the capital. We have no money in our hands, but we don't dare to leave without authorization. "

Fang Xie knew that at that time, a large number of military officials were dismissed by the emperor. It is estimated that this is why the redistribution of these candidates was delayed. These candidates from the frontier army had no savings. When they were in the frontier, their heads were pinned on their trouser bags, and all their pay and silver bought wine and drink. Although the frontier army would pay some road bills when they went to the capital, and when they arrived in the capital The Ministry of war also has subsidized silver, but if multilateral army candidates get together and drink today and tomorrow, that silver is not enough at all.

Zhang Kuang was relatively rich at that time. Later, he didn't want to find Fang Xie to borrow money.

"Then I think..."

Du Shuan sighed: "The adults of the military department dragged us on, and seven or eight out of ten were ordered by Prince Yi. Although we all fell short of the list, at least we were also outstanding people in the border army. Prince Yi wanted to revolt and took a fancy to us, so he asked the military department to drag us off. When we had no money, our life became more and more difficult. He sent someone to contact us to take advantage of our dissatisfaction with the imperial court ……”

He shook his head: "at that time, he was extremely disappointed with the imperial court. He thought that the imperial court only cared about you candidates on the list, so no one paid attention to us anymore, so he scolded his mother all day. That's what Prince Yi wanted, so he could use our dissatisfaction with the imperial court to win over."

He took a sip of wine and seemed reluctant to mention the past.

"Later, life became more and more difficult. If it weren't for the boss of the inn who sympathized with us, he always allowed us to stay. He was afraid that we would sleep on the street. At this time, Zhang Kuang found us..."

Du Shuan looked up at Fang Xie and said, "give each of us ten Liang silver and take us to drink. We said a lot of things from our hearts that day. It's also stupid. Everyone scolded the people of the military headquarters for being nothing, but no one thought about how the imperial court made such a mistake."

Fang Xie asked, "Zhang Kuang took you to become prince Yi?"

"Well"

Du Shuan nodded: "At that time, the brothers were almost desperate. Zhang Kuang didn't say it clearly at the beginning, but he came to deliver some silver to help everyone. Later, we all felt sorry and asked him where to get so much silver. At first, he didn't say, but later, when we asked urgently, he told us that the silver was given by Prince Yi, but Prince Yi didn't let us know My family is uncomfortable, so I won't let it out. "

"At that time, we all had a good impression of Prince Yi. We knew that he was a prince with a great reputation. He didn't participate in the government. He spent all day traveling in the mountains and water, even in the brothel and painting boat. When we learned that Prince Yi gave the silver, we were all very grateful, so we wanted to repay him. Zhang Kuang said that Prince Yi had a lot of business in private and lacked some guards. Everyone was one Since I can't go back to the frontier for the time being, I'd better help Prince Yi take care of some business affairs and earn some money. It's the same when the official document of the Ministry of war comes down. He also said that Prince Yi has always told people to take care of us. "

"We didn't think much about it at that time. Although we thought it would be a shame to be a guard for businessmen, we didn't care about it at that time. In order to repay the favor and earn some money, we all agreed. But after we followed the madness, we realized that Prince Yi wanted to do business... Big business can be frightening to death. Later, we learned that Prince Yi tried to rebel, and there were many The most terrible thing is that those of us who chose to stay didn't have anyone to help intercede or save. We just watched those brothers who didn't want to follow the rebellion be killed. "

"I don't understand now..."

Du Shuan sighed: "How did we get used to it at that time? Later, I thought it would be like some beliefs were instilled in our minds. Coupled with our dissatisfaction with the imperial court, we couldn't pull it out after we got into the tip of the ox horn. From the initial uneasiness to the later despair. Later, Prince Yi set up a killer organization to assassinate those who were bad for him People, we are all among them. "

"Later..."

He took a look at Fang Xie: "We became opposites. You helped the emperor fight the rebellion, but we thought Prince Yi would succeed. We found that Prince Yi's plot was just a joke. The emperor had seen through Prince Yi's plot early. How could he not be prepared? When you led people to fight the rebellion in the city, my companions died one after another, and some were killed by the imperial court , some of them committed suicide... "

"After that, the flying fish robe in the Imperial Guard's office began to be thoroughly cleaned up in Chang'an city. We who survived that day hid everywhere. We lived like a mouse and didn't even dare to see the sun. We hid in this corner today and went into that cave tomorrow. Several companions were crazy because they couldn't bear the suffering in the days they hid later. We were together at the beginning Later, only a dozen of those people who narrowly escaped the search by the Imperial Guard. "

"We worked as coolies in the city. Every day we heard people say how many rebellious people had been caught and cut off their heads at the mouth of the vegetable market. At first, we were frightened and then numb. At that time, we thought that if the flying fish robe suddenly appeared in front of me, maybe we wouldn't even be afraid, but we were relieved."

"Later, after the news passed, we left the capital. We were going to go home, but later someone mentioned that our names were all in the list of the Ministry of war. If we went home, we could only involve our family. So we decided to find a place to stay first and see if anyone could take us in. We would want to stay away from Chang'an City as far as possible. Because in our hands Without money, we robbed several caravans on the road and ran across the Yangtze River in one breath... "

Fang Xie asked, "then I stayed in Huangyang road? But why did you build a stronghold in Hukou stream?"

……

……

After Fang Jie finished asking this sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up. He suddenly thought of one thing: "the head surnamed Mo in Hukou stream now is mo Xidao?"

"Yes!"

Du Shuan nodded.

"No wonder"

Fang Xie said with some disappointment: "After Prince Yi's rebellion was put down, Zhang Kuang died. Later, I didn't find out the whereabouts of Mo Xidao. I just thought he was killed in the chaotic war. At that time, I went to the bodyguard's office to see the arrested people, and I didn't see him. At that time, people were beheaded every day at the entrance of the vegetable market, sometimes dozens a day, sometimes thousands a day... And later I left Chang'an City and never went back. "

Du Shuan hung his head and said: "If it weren't for elder brother Mo, we wouldn't be able to avoid the search and arrest of the bodyguard. Elder brother Mo has high cultivation and great anti search ability. Otherwise, he couldn't have escaped from Eastern Chu. After he fled the capital with us, he went all the way south. Someone proposed to live in anonymity and find a business or escort agency. We wouldn't have lost our ability Eat rice. "

"Brother Mo said that we can't live under the fence of others. We will come to a bad end with Prince Yi's big backer. We will be better off with businessmen who only have money in their eyes? He said that we have the ability to hide all our lives and serve as cattle and horses for businessmen until we die. Don't we feel oppressed and sorry?"

Du Shuan took a deep breath and slowly spit it out: "After experiencing Prince Yi's incident, everyone's mind is actually a little wild. It's a pity to hear brother Mo say so. So he asked brother Mo what to do, and brother Mo said we have to find a way to live first. Why do we have to be servants for those businessmen whose eyes are higher than the top? At the beginning, even those who were officials in Chang'an dared to kill. What else can we do?"

"On that day, we sneaked into a big family's house and killed all the family as if we were possessed by magic. We robbed thousands of liang of silver and a lot of jewelry. With this silver, we ran to Mangdang Mountain to escape for a while, and then began to pull the team. Brother Mo said that there were countless merchants on the Yangtze River, and the merchants who took the waterway carried a lot of money It's best to start, so we have done a lot of cases on the North Bank of the Yangtze River, and we have been pulling up a team of more than 100 people. "

"Later, when the Navy attacked and suppressed, brother Mo took us to Huangyang road. Because we didn't lack silver, we didn't do business anymore and lived in seclusion all the time. Later..."

He sighed: "Li Yuanshan rebelled, Luo Yao rebelled, and brother Mo's mind moved. He also wanted to rebel, but we were frightened when we heard the word rebellion. We had such a terrible experience, and who would like to do it again. But brother Mo said that the reason why he was so determined to rebel with Prince Yi was not only because of the injustice of the court, but also because he was drinking wine that day When he was drinking, someone said such a sentence to him. He never forgot it. "

"The princes and generals would rather have seed?"

Du Shuan looked at Fang Xie and said seriously, "you said this."
