Rowan's face became distorted because of pain. His eyes were staring at Shi Yuan, as if he was waiting for the story to begin. He was vaguely aware that the relationship between this story and him would definitely not be a good one. On the other hand, although Shi Yuan said it calmly, he could see something in Shi Yuan's eyes.
After Shi Yuan clicked on him a few times, his pain eased slightly, otherwise he would not have been able to concentrate and listen to what Shi Yuan said.
"long, long ago."
Shi Yuan smiled and said: "There was a man whose hometown was in the northwest of the Sui Dynasty. He was born in poverty, but he was studious since he was a child. He met a wandering Jianghu who took a fancy to his qualifications, so he took him away from home. He was separated from his family. He studied hard for seven or eight years, and by the time he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was already good at cultivation. Because his family was very poor, he envied those young men with good clothes and good food, so he vowed to be such a person in the future. "
"It happened that the army selected sons from good families to join the army and replenish its troops. This young man said goodbye to his master and returned to his hometown to join the army. At first, he was not reused and just lived in a hazy life. It was not until two years later that the imperial court used troops abroad, and he was As the army marched on, he knew his chance had come."
"But how can a humble soldier like him get ahead?"
Shi Yuan stood up and made himself a pot of tea.
"He thought hard for a long time and finally came up with a way. He knew that one day the general was going to inspect the camp, so he deliberately clashed with a team leader and angered the team leader, so the team was beating him with a whip. He He didn't fight back. When the general arrived, he suddenly jumped up, grabbed the whip and knocked down the captain with one punch. The captain was furious and ordered his men to capture him. He defeated a dozen of them with three strikes. The soldier fell to the ground and was seen by the general."
"Of course, this was not a coincidence, but something he had calculated. He knew that the general loved talents, so he deliberately caused trouble to show off his abilities. Sure enough, when the general saw that he defeated more than a dozen people by himself, his eyes immediately lit up. I called him to inquire and found out that he contradicted his superiors, so he was beaten with ten army sticks by the soldiers. However, the ten army sticks were not in vain, and he was transferred to the soldiers' team. "
"After the foreign war started, he rushed to the general's side and blocked the general's countless knives from the enemy. The first time he fought with the enemy, the general led his army to defeat the enemy and achieved a complete victory. But he In order to protect the general, he suffered more than a dozen injuries."
"The general was grateful for his bravery and loyalty, so he promoted him to the rank of Guardsman. He personally applied medicine to him and sent someone to send him a hundred taels of silver to support his family. The war lasted for several months. The imperial army won consecutive battles and soon occupied half of the enemy's territory. Because of his many achievements, the general paid more and more attention to him. "
He paused and took a sip of tea.
Luo Wen was so fascinated by what he heard that he forgot about the pain on his body: "What happened next?"
"Later, after the foreign war ended, the general returned triumphantly with his army. On the list of merits reported to the court, this young man's name was ranked first. Because of the general's strong recommendation, this young man was promoted, and he I am also grateful to the general, as loyal as my son, and treat him like a family member.¡±
"After several years of this kind of life, he has become the general's right-hand man. The general is old and intends to cultivate him to take over his position. But at this time, some officials in the court reported the general. The reason why he was there a few years ago The reason why the imperial capital was not breached in this war was because he secretly accepted a generous gift from the enemy emperor. When the general found out about this, he asked the young man to find out who was the informer. "
"The young man searched for a long time but could not find anything, but the imperial envoy sent by the emperor came instead. The general did accept a heavy gift from the enemy, so he was dismissed from the military and imprisoned. But the young man was not implicated until When the general was taken to the execution ground and had his head chopped off, he didn¡¯t even know that it was the young man who had secretly arranged it.¡±
"The young man did not expose himself, and the court did not know from the beginning to the end that he sent someone to report the general. He resigned from the court on the grounds that the general was dead and he was unwilling to stay in the military camp anymore. But the emperor was because of his behavior He was greatly moved by his attitude, promoted his military rank, and called him to the imperial palace to give him a big compliment. "
Shi Yuan paused, glanced at Luo Wen and then said: "Before this, this young man met his wife. His wife was also from a poor family, but she was exceptionally beautiful. When he saw her for the first time, he couldn't help but He fell in love with this woman, so he came to ask for her hand in marriage. The woman's parents were just honest people, so they were naturally happy when the young man proposed marriage, and soon they became husband and wife. "
?"Laterthey had a child."
"Maybe it's retribution."
Shi Yuan sipped his tea and said: "Later, because this young man offended a powerful man, the powerful man suppressed him and prevented his name from appearing in front of the emperor for more than ten years. Although the emperor admired this young man very much, he had to do it every day. There were too many things to do, and if no one reminded him, he would not think of this young man. It was not until the emperor was preparing for the second war that he suddenly remembered that there was a brave young man he could use. "
"So he asked, where is this young man now? Just when the emperor was about to reuse this man who was no longer young, something big happened in the man's family. His son had grown up and was on his way to the capital to take an important exam. He raped a young woman The son knew that his father was a very strict man. He was afraid that his father would find out about his affairs, so he made the same mistake again and again. He led someone to sneak into the house and killed all 32 members of the woman's family. ¡¡±
"you shut up!"
When Shi Yuan said this, Luo Wen's face immediately turned ugly: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense! You don't know anything at all!"
"How could I not know?"
Shi Yuan smiled and said: "This man's master has some connection with me He took him away from his hometown and went to a place called Prairie."
"impossible!"
Luo Wen suddenly sat up from the bed, his face distorted.
"Is there anything absolutely impossible in this world?"
Shi Yuan said: "Just as I am sitting with you at this moment, this is also impossible in the eyes of you Sui people. Isn't it?"
¡¡
¡¡
The competition in Nancheng has begun, and the sound of war drums can be heard faintly in the city. But the room in the brothel was unusually quiet. Shi Yuan stopped talking and just looked at Luo Wen calmly. And Rowan was like a wild wolf about to burst out with his bestiality, staring viciously at the old monk in front of him.
"Although he is cold to me, I won't allow you to slander him!"
"Slander?"
Shi Yuan couldn't help laughing: "You are too naive. Of all the successful people in this world, who is clean? There is no need for others to slander him, as long as he finds out the truth, it is enough to ruin his reputation. This story is just the beginning. It just started, do you think it¡¯s over? Do you think you know what happened next?¡±
"You are not allowed to say any more!"
Rowan growled lowly.
"Do you know that the person you are protecting now is cultivating another young man? This young man will most likely take away everything that belongs to you from you in the future. I won't lie, because there is no need ¡¡±
"Why?!"
Luo Wen was stunned for a moment and then asked.
"If you want to know why, just listen to me finish the story."
Shi Yuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Luo Wen: "Actually, you want to hear it all, don't you?"
Rowan's body trembled violently, and the ferocity on his face gradually receded, replaced by pain and confusion. He subconsciously took the cup of tea, but his hands seemed to have no strength. The cup seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he needed both hands to hold it.
"You think you know about your brother, but in fact you know nothing. You think you know your father, but you know nothing. Even your mother, you still know nothing about her."
"What do you mean?"
Rowan asked with a hoarse voice.
"Luo Yao had to kill your brother in order to save your mother. In his heart, all his family members combined are not as important as your mother. But your brother is his only son after all, how could he Does it hurt? He killed your brother and carried the body back home in a precious cold iron coffin. The emperor was grateful for your father's loyalty and instead promoted him to a noble rank. "
"In the next few years, your mother has been guarding the cold iron coffin and not allowing anyone to bury your brother."
"a few years later¡¡"
Shi Yuan said calmly: "When your father led troops to destroy the merchants, he captured many wizards from the He tribe. These wizards had very mysterious witchcraft, and your father was immediately attracted to it. Then he began to have an idea in his mind, The idea of ????making up for his debt to his mother. By chance, he learned that the wizards of the He tribe had a way to turn corpses into warriors, so he was overjoyed and immediately captured a few wizards and went back, planning to turn your brother's corpse into a warrior. Something like that at least looks like it¡¯s alive.¡±
"But a wizard can make zombies, but he can't really resurrect a person. YouMy father has arrested many wizards, but no one can meet his requirements. He captured some and killed some, but still no one did it. This is something that goes against heaven, how could it be possible? "
"Your mother hated your father more and more and refused to pay attention to him. Until later, a wizard from the He tribe took the initiative to come to your father's door and said that he had a way to do it, but the prerequisite was that your father would not massacre the wizard's tribe. Your father was very excited, so he took the wizard to see your mother."
"This wizardis Bo Chi."
"ah!"
Rowan exclaimed.
"That's the Bo Chi who is hiding in the Deer and Monkey Cave now. He doesn't look like a human or a ghost."
Shi Yuan said calmly.
"What else do you know!"
Luo Wen asked with uncontrollable horror.
"A lot, a lot."
Shi Yuan smiled and said: "For example, the dolls hanging on the locust tree in your mother's yard and the dolls hanging in her house, do you think they are just dolls? Those are real children. Your mother came to Yongzhou for two years. For ten years, people would be sent out to steal a few children every year. She would hold them in her arms and love them as much as she loved you when you were a child. But after a while she would get tired of them because they were not her children, and then she would He would personally kill those children and make them into dolls. Everyone in Luofu knew that those dolls were lifelike, but who knew they were real dead children? "
"impossible!"
Luo Wen said with a pale face: "How could my mother use such evil and cruel methods!"
"she?"
Shi Yuan couldn't help but sneer: "If your father is just a careerist, a person who can give up everything for himself, then he is not a devil, but your mother is a complete devil. She is simply a devil. A madman, just a zombie that has lost its heart"
"Has she ever aged in all these years?"
Shi Yuan asked.
Rowan¡¯s pupils suddenly dilated and his mouth opened With a bang, the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
