Bamboo horse, bamboo horse, cheating and fraud

Chapter 56 The Night Banquet

If I remember correctly, today seems to be the fifteenth day, and the plump moon hangs alone in the blue-black sky, without a single star around.

A few kids sat next to me, and they couldn't let go. I kindly asked, "How old are you?"

They seemed a little surprised, shrank back flattered, and answered me very politely: "Seventeen", "Sixteen", "Nineteen"...

I smiled and nodded: "Not bad, not bad, when I was your age, I was still doing nothing and doing nothing..."

Seeing that I was not so unapproachable, a young soldier dared to tease: "The king of Dongyue is only in his 20s now!"

Hearing this, I was stunned, yes, I have experienced too many things, I almost forgot that I was only in my 20s, but since he left, every day seems to be as long as ten years, sometimes I even feel that those colleagues The stable days that Yun Sui spent together are already a matter of the last life.

Another pawn saw that my expression was not right, so he quickly changed the topic: "The king of Dongyue was joking, I have heard people say that you have learned the Five Classics at the age of ten, you know the art of war at the age of 14, and you know the way of merchants at the age of 16... "

I didn't deny it, just chuckled, looked at Xiao Luo who was walking slowly not far away, and said: "Luo Shi, you're here."

He nodded and bowed to me: "See Dongyue King!"

Yes, since two years ago, he was just a military advisor, Luo Shi, and I became the leader of the uprising army and the owner of Zhonglie Building—Eastern Yue Wang Xiaoluo.

Xiao Luo's arrival made me a little displeased, I had intended to avoid him, but he insisted on meeting him ignorantly.

"King Dongyue, why don't you stay inside, it's windy outside!"

"It's fine if you have to deal with it, I'm just here to support the scene." I didn't even bother to look at him.

He laughed loudly: "The words of the King of Dongyue made me very frightened. Doesn't this fulfill your wish?"

Hearing this, I also laughed: "The military division is smart!"

Several pawns looked at each other in blank dismay by the tangled conversation.

"In one month, it will be three years..." He suddenly changed the subject.

"What... what three years?" My heart was suddenly squeezed by a pair of invisible hands.

"What three years? It is said that Danshui has three years of joy, but what about three years of sorrow?"

Painful memories came to my mind, I glared and snapped: "Enough, you came here to expose my scars?"

But his eyes didn't hide or flicker, instead he looked straight at me, like a needle nailing me in place.Those eyes seemed to be mercilessly mocking me: Xu Zifang, you can't forget your feelings for him, and you can't let go of those grievances back then.

I clenched my fists, my nails dug into my flesh, and there was a piercing pain.

However, facing the curious eyes of a group of juniors, he just smiled: "The past should not be persuaded, but the coming can still be pursued." Then he stopped talking.

The group of soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, only You Maobing chewed a piece of roast beef that he took out from his arms, and asked casually: "King of Dongyue, what do you mean?"

A pawn next to him quietly elbowed him, but he had an innocent face: "Grandson, why are you beating me!"

Seeing his idiot-like appearance, most of the anger that Xiao Luo had aroused in me suddenly disappeared, and I felt a little more at ease in my heart, so I no longer shy away from anything: "It's just an old friend..."

He tore off a piece of beef and stuffed it to me, patted my shoulder with an old-fashioned look: "My sweetheart, right, King of Dongyue, I understand~"

I smiled and said: "You know what a fart!" Then I recalled his words and nodded: "Yes, my sweetheart!"

This time it was Xiao Luo's turn to give me a meaningful look.

That boy You Maobing wasn't satisfied yet, he asked with a smirk on his face, "I didn't expect the king of Dongyue to marry a wife, where is the lady now?"

Yes, where is it?

"Dead." I replied lightly.

He obviously didn't expect such an answer, and immediately covered his mouth with his hands like a shy girl in fright, and said incoherently: "King of Dongyue, look at my broken mouth..."

I waited and watched his attitude like a young girl in Huaichun, and softly comforted him: "It's okay, it's all old things..."

Xiao Luo also seemed to be very aware of his own redundancy, so he said "It's fine if it's true!", and then walked away.I wish he could roll as far away as possible, so that he doesn't get in the way of his eyes!

You Maobing scratched his hair with his greasy claws, and asked in puzzlement: "Why does the Luo military commander say such inexplicable things? Also, King Dongyue, why do I feel that the military commander's words are thorny?"

I thought to myself, what a curious baby with so many questions, but I patiently explained to him: "He didn't mean to be mean, he just didn't want me..."

But before I finished speaking, I heard You Maobing say "Hey": "King of Dongyue, why are you crying?"

I quickly wiped my face with my hands, and saw that the wet palm reflected a faint silver light under the moonlight.

I stared at my palm and froze.

He suddenly realized his slip of the tongue, and apologized to me helplessly: "King of Dongyue, look at me... so damn..."

I was in a daze, and sighed faintly: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't finish this wine, everyone, go back and rest, there is no need to watch the night tonight..."

Hearing this, several soldiers looked at each other, gave me a uniform military salute and left, leaving You Maobing alone.

I asked him, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

He walked slowly, thought for a while but then turned back: "The king of Dongyue can tell me what is unhappy, every time you feel bad, just grab someone and take out the troubles like a trash." It's..."

I smiled and thought to myself: What's the use of pouring it out?

Seeing that I didn't speak, he searched his brains for other words to comfort me: "King of Dongyue, please let me express your condolences. People can't be resurrected after death. Your sadness now just adds to your troubles..."

I interrupted him: "Do you believe that after death a person becomes a gust of wind?"

He obviously thought this was nonsense, scratched his head and laughed twice, "Hey hey": "You are joking, King Dongyue. I have only heard that many people died and turned into a handful of loess and a handful of ashes. I have never heard of it." When a person dies, he will become the wind..."

"That's what he told me when he was alive. He said that after death, if he becomes the wind, he can go to all the places he couldn't go to before he was alive... I didn't believe it at the time, but now I suddenly understand."

He asked subconsciously: "Who is he?" Then he understood, and let out a long "Oh--".

He and I couldn't find anything to say, the air suddenly became quiet again, and for a while, we could only hear the "cracking" of the nearby campfire.
