(On the ninth day, the record is further expanded, please vote for me!) Chapter 580 Would you rather have the guts? ¡°My name is Du Shuan.¡± The only Hukoujian scout who had not been beaten poured the wine that Fang Jie handed him into his mouth, and the wine flowed down his jaw like a stream. After finishing half the bag, he seemed to have calmed down a bit. The hot wine burned down his throat, and his stomach immediately felt warm. He smiled bitterly, raised his head and looked at Fang Jie: "Actually, I have met you a long time ago, but your status is getting more and more distinguished, and things are getting bigger and bigger. Naturally, you will not remember me who was just sitting in the corner at the beginning. Watching you chatting and laughing. When you were sitting together drinking and talking, I and the others gathered around you and giggled. Later, you entered the martial arts academy without any accident, but I failed and had to stay. The capital is waiting for the reassignment of the Ministry of War." Hearing this, Fang Jie's heart suddenly moved: "Are you a former candidate of the Yanwu Academy?" Du Shuan nodded and said somewhat sadly, "Yes. When I was selected as a candidate for the Ministry of War, I was very high-spirited. After arriving in the capital, I realized that it was far from my expectations. Not every candidate is qualified to study in the Yanwu Academy, although I come from a poor family. After arriving in the capital, the Ministry of War issued money, but it was not enough for socializing. " He paused and smiled self-deprecatingly: "That day at the party in the restaurant, I almost ran out of money and I was embarrassed to go, but I was kicked out. The others went together. In the restaurant that day, General You, Zhang Guang and Mo Xiandao were naturally the most dazzling ones, especially General You, who was the youngest among all the candidates for the Ministry of War, and also the most impressive. I admire you. Everyone was surrounding you, but I could only stand aside and smile." Fang Jie said: "There were really too many people at that time, and those things happened again, so I didn't talk to you. I'm sorry. " Du Shuan shook his head: "There's nothing to be sorry for. What happened after that day really scared me. No one expected that the emperor would come to the restaurant in person, and I haven't seen you since then. In the entrance examination, you were excellent in all subjects and naturally passed the examination, but I was eliminated in the liberal arts examination. Later, I was waiting for the Ministry of War to be reassigned in the capital, but because the Minister of War and the Minister of War were dismissed by the emperor, we failed. The candidates could only wait in the capital. They had no money in their hands, but they did not dare to leave without authorization. " Fang Jie knew that a large number of officials in the Ministry of War were laid off by the emperor. It was probably because of this that these candidates were dismissed. The reassignment of candidates was delayed. These candidates who were born in the border army did not have much savings. When they were at the border, their heads were pinned to their trouser pockets, and all the salary they received was spent on wine. Although the border army would pay some travel expenses when they went to the capital, after arriving in the capital, the Ministry of War still had The money is subsidized, but with so many border military candidates gathering together to drink today and drink tomorrow, the money is simply not enough. At that time, Zhang Kuang was relatively wealthy with some money left in his hands, but later he had to find Fang Jie to borrow money. "Later I thought about it" Du Shuan sighed and said: "The adults in the Ministry of War were holding us back, and it was probably Prince Yi who ordered us. Although we have all failed, we are still outstanding among the frontier troops. A group of people. Prince Yi wanted to rebel, and he took a fancy to this group of people, so he asked the Ministry of War to delay our affairs. Since we had no money, our lives became more and more difficult. He then sent someone to contact us and took advantage of our dissatisfaction with the court. " He shook his head: "At that time, I was really disappointed with the court. I thought that the court only cares about you candidates, and no one will pay attention to us anymore, so this is what Prince Yi wants to do all day long. Only then can we use our dissatisfaction with the imperial court to win over." He took a sip of wine and seemed a little reluctant to mention that past event. "Later on, life became more and more difficult. If the owner of the inn had not sympathized with us and allowed us to stay, we would have been sleeping on the street. At this time, Zhang Kuang found us" Du Shuan raised his head He glanced at Fang Jie and said, "Give each of us ten taels of silver and take us to drink. We said a lot of things from our hearts that day, and they were also stupid. Everyone scolded the people in the Ministry of War for being useless, but no one thought about it at all. How could such a mistake happen in the imperial court?" Fang Jie asked: "Zhang Kuang dragged you to become Prince Yi's people?" "Yeah" Du Shuan nodded: "At that time, the brothers were almost at the end of their rope, and Zhang Kuang didn't do it at the beginning. Ming said that he only came to give some money to help everyone every once in a while, so that later we felt sorry for him and asked him where he got so much money. At first he didn't tell us, but when we asked more urgently, he told us. "The money was given by Prince Yi, but Prince Yi didn't let anyone say it in order to prevent everyone from feeling uncomfortable. " "We all had a good impression of Prince Yi at that time. We knew before that he was a romantic and famous prince who did not participate in government affairs. He spent all his time traveling around mountains and rivers and even brothels and boats. When we learned that the money was given by Prince Yi After that, we were all very grateful, so we thought about how to repay. Zhang Kuang said that Prince Yi had a lot of business in private and needed some guards. The prince could make some money by taking care of some business matters. It would be the same if he waited until the official document from the Ministry of War came down. He also said that Prince Yi had always asked people to take care of us. " "Everyone didn't think much about it at the time, although they thought they would do business. It's a bit embarrassing to be a guard, but at that time, we didn't care about this. In order to return the favor and make some money, everyone agreed. But after we followed Zhang Kuang, we realized that the business Prince Yi wanted to do It was so big that it scared people to death. Later we found out that Prince Yi was trying to rebel, and many people wanted to leave, but the most terrifying thing was that none of us who chose to stay went to help or intercede. He just watched helplessly as those brothers who were unwilling to follow the rebellion were killed.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t figure it out now¡± Du Shuan sighed: ¡°How did we adapt to it at that time? Think about it later. , it was as if some beliefs had been instilled in my mind, and coupled with dissatisfaction with the court, I couldn't get out of the corner. From the initial anxiety, to the later despair. The prince established a killer organization, responsible for assassinating people who are unfavorable to him, and we are among them." "Later" He glanced at Fang Jie: "We have become opponents, and you help the emperor to bring peace. We originally thought that Prince Yi would definitely succeed, but we found out that Prince Yi's plan was just a joke. The emperor had already seen through Prince Yi's conspiracy. How could you not be prepared when you led the people in the city to quell the rebellion? At that time, my companions died one after another, some were killed by people from the imperial court, and some committed suicide out of fear of crime" "After that, the Flying Fish Robe of the Ouchi Guards Department began a thorough cleanup in Chang'an City. Those of us who were lucky enough to survive that day Those who came down hid everywhere, living like a mouse during that period, not even daring to see the sun. Today they hid in this corner and tomorrow they crawled into that cave. Some of the companions just couldn't bear this kind of situation during the later days of hiding. The group of people who were together at the beginning were lucky enough to escape the arrests of the Ouchi guards. "We worked as coolies in the city, and we heard every day how many rebels were caught in the market. I was frightened at first, but then I became numb. At that time, I thought, if the flying fish robe suddenly appeared in front of me, I might not even be afraid, but just relieved. " "Later, After the news passed, we people left the capital. We originally planned to go home, but later someone mentioned that our names were on the roster of the Ministry of War. If we went home, we would only implicate our families. So I decided to find a place to stay first and see if anyone could take her in. At that time, I wanted to stay away from Chang'an City, as far away as possible. Because we had no money, we robbed several caravans on the road and ran across the Yangtze River in one breath" Fang Jie asked: "Then we stayed in Huangyang Road? But why did you build a cottage in Hukou Stream? " After Fang Jie finished asking this question, his eyes suddenly lit up. He suddenly thought of one thing: "The current head of the Hukou Stream named Mo is Mo Xida? " "yes! " Du Shuan nodded. "No wonder" Fang Jie said with some sadness: "After Prince Yi's rebellion was put down, Zhang Kuang died. I didn't find out the whereabouts of Mo Xidao later. I just thought he was killed in the chaos at that time. . At that time, I went to the Ouchi Guards Office to see the arrested people, but I didn't see him among them. At that time, people were beheaded every day in Caishikou. Sometimes there were dozens of people a day, and sometimes there were thousands of people a day Then I left Chang'an City and never went back. " Du Shuan lowered his head and said, "If it weren't for Brother Mo, we wouldn't be able to escape the arrests of the Ouchi Guards. Brother Mo has a high level of cultivation, and his ability to resist arrests is also great. If not for this, he would not have been able to escape from Dongchu in the first place. He took us all the way south after escaping from the capital. Someone suggested that we could live incognito and find refuge in a business firm or a bodyguard agency. With our ability, we would not be without food. " "Brother Mo said that we can no longer live the kind of life of being dependent on others. We didn't end up with a good ending even if we followed Prince Yi as big a backer, how can we live better by following those businessmen who only have money in their eyes? He said that with our abilities, we have to live in hiding all our lives, working as cattle and horses for businessmen until we die. Don't we feel aggrieved?Regret? " Du Shuan took a deep breath and slowly spit it out: "After what happened with Prince Yi, everyone's thoughts are actually a little wild. Hearing Brother Mo say this, he really felt sorry for himself. So I asked Brother Mo what to do, and Brother Mo said we had to find a way to survive first. Why do we need to be servants to those businessmen who have higher ambitions? Back then in Chang'an, even officials dared to kill, so what else can we do now? Not coming out? " "That day, we sneaked into the house of a wealthy family and killed all the family members as if they were possessed by a demon. We robbed several thousand taels of silver and a lot of jewelry. With this money, we ran to Mang. We hid on Dangshan Mountain for a while, and then started to gather the team. Brother Mo said that there were countless merchants on the Yangtze River, and the merchants who took the waterway had a lot of money with them, so it was best to start with them, so we did a lot of things on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The case also attracted a team of more than a hundred people. " " Later, during the naval campaign, Brother Mo took us and fled to Huangyang Road. Since we had no shortage of money, we stopped doing business and lived in seclusion. Later" He sighed and said: "Li Yuanshan rebelled, Luo Yao also rebelled, and Brother Mo's thoughts changed accordingly. He also wanted to rebel, but we were frightened when we heard the word rebellion. Who would want to do it again after such a terrible experience once? 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 someone said such a thing to him when he was drinking in a restaurant that day. He has never forgotten this sentence. " "Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?" " Du Shuan looked at Fang Jie and said seriously: "You said this. "
