Rebel

Gu Ao looked at the corpses with different heads, and then at Dian Bushi who was full of excitement, he was a little dazed and couldn't gather his sanity for a while.

"You..." Gu Ao took a deep breath, hurriedly got up and took a few steps forward, rushed to Huang Er who was in a pool of blood, stretched out his hand to touch his nose, seeing that he couldn't feel it at all, he sighed a long time With a sound, he glanced at Dian Bushi again, and said heartbrokenly: "You..."

Dian Bushi smiled unknowingly, and thought he was credited: "Mr. Gu! You see, it's lucky that I came, and I told you that you will meet the gangsters, but you still don't believe me!"

Gu Ao frowned and glanced at Dian Bushi, Dian Bushi was a little strange, and thought: "I saved him, why is he still staring at me? I followed him till now, why didn't I get a smile... "Thinking about it this way, Dian Bushi felt a little uncomfortable.

Gu Ao dragged Huang Er aside without saying a word, he couldn't bear to look at his face, but he had to stretch out his hand, and gently closed Huang Er's eyes that had never been closed.Gu Ao stood up, walked to the place where the front horse stumbled, pulled the trailer horse out of the mud beside him, stroked its mane, and waited for its violent breath to calm down before leaning forward. He got a coat from the car, got out of the car, walked to Huang Er's side, and covered him up.Lifting his face, Gu Ao looked at Dian Bushi and said, "Since you still call me Mr., I'll just ask, do you know who this is?"

Dian Bushi glanced at Huang Er, his nose twitched, seeing that Gu Ao was not friendly to him, Dian Bushi was also a little annoyed and said, "He's carrying rice for the gangsters, so he's a gangster."

Gu Ao said coldly: "He is my coachman, a servant of Shanyun Academy."

"...What?" Dian Bushi was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "This is a foodie! Why did you become a gang with the gangsters?!"

Gu Ao said angrily: "You killed a good person by mistake and still say such things?...Don't call me Mr. from now on! I don't have a student like you! Disregarding human life, you can do it—"

Dian Bushi was a little dumbfounded for a moment: "..." Seeing Gu Ao's stern tone towards him, Dian Bushi immediately felt wronged—he didn't know that the man was not a gangster, and he didn't write 'Shanyun Academy' on his face. How can I distinguish the words "servant" in an instant?

When Dianbushi saw Gu Ao for the first time, he still had some anticipation and excitement, but now it finally faded away completely, and immediately his face was ashen, he lowered his head, threw the big ax on the ground, and sat down on his buttocks. I stood on the short stone by the roadside, and murmured in my mouth to defend: "...I... I wanted to be a hero since I was a child, and you said before that I could be a hero, why did it change now?"

Gu Ao didn't answer, but only showed his back to Dian Bushi. Dian Bushi saw Gu Ao walked across the corpses without saying a word, picked up a hoe, walked to the roadside forest, and started digging. pit.Dian Bushi stared at Gu Ao for a while, seeing that Gu Ao didn't pay any attention to him, he couldn't help being even more angry, and now he turned his head sadly.

After two hours of silence between the two, Gu Ao had already dug a zhang long square coffin and a single coffin. Gu Ao moved the seven people side by side into the square coffin, and then Put Huang Er into the pit coffin alone, and then began to fill it with soil.

Dian Bushi felt wronged for a while, seeing that Gu Ao was busy all the time, he finally couldn't help asking in a rough voice: "What are you doing?" He didn't call Mr. Gu, because Gu Ao didn't let him call him Mr. He was also angry and refused to call him, and only called Gu Ao 'you'.

Gu Ao gave Dian Bushi a cold look: "I'll clean up the mess for you."

Dian Bushi frowned, made a face, and fell silent again.

After a while, Gu Ao finally cleaned up all the corpses. He still sat on the short rock and looked away, seemingly still angry. Gu Ao finally walked over and touched his shoulder, sighed, and asked : "...how did you come here?"

Dian Bushi pointed at the tall horse, and replied in a low voice: "Master Wu sent it to me, let me ride the horse to chase you." After speaking, Dian Bushi pointed to the double axes thrown by him on the ground: "This is also the Master Wu gave it to me newly."

Gu Ao took out a water bag from the car, handed it to Dian Bushi, and said, "Wash off the blood on your face... Let me ask you, what will you do if you come out?"

Dian ignorantly crouched on his back and lowered his head: "...I entrusted it to Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen said that you will take the villagers out of the mountains in the future, so I will protect you."

Hearing this, Gu Ao finally said: "...are you wronged?"

Dian Bushi lowered his head and said nothing.

Gu Ao turned over and sat down next to Dian Bushi, and said: "Just now, I also thought about it... I know that you have good intentions, but good intentions are not equal to good deeds, but ordinary people should not think about the degree when dealing with things ? You see, so many people died this time, are they really all guilty of death?"

Dian Bushi murmured: "Could it be that you want to drive me away just because of them?"

Gu Ao sighed: "Why would I drive you away? You're here, I'm too happy..."

"You even said you won't let me call you Mr. Gu..."

Gu Ao looked at Dian Bushi solemnly: "Do you really want to be a hero?"

Dian Bushi nodded: "Does that matter?"

"Do you know what the word 'haoxia' means?"

Dian Bushi thought for a while, and said: "... Seeing the road is uneven, draw your sword to help!"

Gu Ao said: "The so-called hero is to punish the evil, promote the good, and uphold justice for the world. A great hero is for the country and the people. Do you remember? I said it in class before."

"But they are gangsters?! What's wrong with killing gangsters?"

Gu Ao looked at Dian Bushi's stiff neck and refused to admit his mistake, and couldn't help thinking in his heart:

'Just now I calmed down and figured it out, this incident has already happened, people cannot be resurrected after death, but what I am afraid of is that he will kill innocent people by mistake again in the future.

It seems that I don't know Dian. When I was in Chencun, I didn't do enough to educate him... He has a whole body of flesh and blood, which was the same back then, and it is still the same today.Just like Tian Rong was in Tianjiazhuang, he was influenced by poetry, books and Yili for several years, but when he came to Shanyun Academy, he still couldn't get rid of the old habits.

Now, he has been persuading and persuading him, but he can't convince him to admit his mistake... It was the same when I persuaded Tian Rong with righteousness... Also, I can't make everyone follow what I think and think.If you want to make people truly regret, you must use the method that they are willing to accept to be effective. If you don’t know how to be rude, I have talked to him so much, and it may not be effective if you cut it off...'

After thinking about it, Gu Ao changed his method and said to Dian, "It's good for you to have such a heart. I'll take care of you, but in the future, let me decide on the matter of life and death. In the future, someone will need your help, or I need your punishment, you report it to me, I will kill it if I say it, and let it go if I say it, how about it?"

Dian Bushi glanced at Gu Ao, and then said in a low voice: "You should have said it earlier! You have to give me a guideline!"

"Agreed?"

"It's a deal." Dian Bushi nodded hurriedly.

Gu Ao stood up, came to Huang Er's grave, waved to Dian Buzhi, "Come here."

Dian Bushi walked over, Gu Ao said: "Please accompany Huang Er, admit your mistake."

Dian Buzhi said: "Old brother, I really don't know... I killed the wrong person, I was wrong, but I am a chivalrous man, not a gangster, once you become a ghost, don't blame me On my head, those people over there brought you into the water, and it's none of my business."

Gu Ao pointed to the place where the other seven people were buried: "What about this side?"

"The gangsters want it too?" Dian Bushi said angrily.

Gu Ao raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Dian Bushi had just experienced the fright of being driven away by Gu Ao, so he lowered his figure, and had no choice but to say reluctantly: "...you are gangsters, it's a pity that I met you I, Grandpa. I hope that you will have enough food and clothing in your next life, and don’t come out to rob again. It’s not good for you to rob someone. If you rob him, I will naturally fight you hard.”

Seeing that there was a trace of remorse in Dian Bushi's words, Gu Ao let it go, and immediately walked to the side of the car with Dian Bushi, and slowed down his voice:

"When you come out, everyone in Chen Village knows?"

Dian Bushi nodded.

"Know that you are here to find me?"

"Ah."

"If it is found out in the future, you killed these gangsters, and Huang Er was killed by them, understand?"

Dian Bushi was slightly taken aback, nodded, and came back to his senses, the chest that had been left out for a long time just now felt warm.

Gu Ao said, "Huang Er's name is on the customs clearance nameplate, you can use his name. From now on, in front of outsiders, I will call you Huang Er. Just now, I told you not to call me Mr. Gu. If you are a layman, you should call me that way." It’s really not right, you can call me Brother Gu from now on.”

"Oh...but Brother Gu sounds like a lot of births? Why don't we call you Big Brother?"

Gu Ao was slightly taken aback: "You can also...change your clothes and get on the horse."

Dian Bushi nodded, shouldered a huge ax on one side, and stepped onto his tall horse; while Gu Ao had to drive by himself because he hurt the coachman.

After another ten miles ahead, he quickly turned out of the main road and entered the official road. The direction was easy to recognize. Soon, Gu Ao, with his ignorance, stopped at the post station in front of him. After another day's journey, he finally entered Ying The boundary of Chuan County.

Gu Ao was driving the chariot, Dian Bushi was leading the horse, and when they entered the city, they handed over the passing card, and then they arrived at the foot of Yingchuan County.Gu Ao raised his eyes and saw that the bustling scenery here is not as prosperous as that of Jiangqu, but the defense is first-class, and he has done an excellent job.When entering the city gate just now, Gu Ao paid special attention to see that on the urn city, there was a city pier half a meter high, which could be useful when besieging the city and retreating the enemy. It seems that the prefect of Yingchuan County is a successful defender. people.

The group arrived at the county mansion, Gu Ao and Dian Bushi stayed in it, took a shower and changed their clothes, changed their road clothes into clean clothes, and then presented Shan Yunzi's letter of recommendation.

During the period of waiting for the reply, Gu Ao rode his horse around the city wall of Yingchuan County by himself. Coming to the Liao family is really like brothers.It was evening when I returned to the county town villa again, and the letter of recommendation that Gu Ao handed over had an echo.

In the evening, a county official who claimed to be a member of the shogunate in the county came to pay a visit to Gu Ao and Dian Buzhi. He returned Shan Yunzi's recommendation letter respectfully and smiled politely. Said: "Originally... the Lord Sheriff was going to hold a banquet in person for the two of you... Unfortunately, the Lord Sheriff suddenly felt unwell at night, which made it inconvenient... However, I thought that the Sheriff would come to entertain the Lord on his behalf, what a pity Jun Cheng happened to have a guest at home tonight, so he had no choice but to order an official to accompany him, hehe... I don’t know, my lord, come to Yingchuan County, what advice do you have?"

Gu Ao was taken aback for a moment, and asked: "Is the county sheriff's illness not getting better for a while?"

"This..." the Zhongsheren said with some embarrassment, "I don't dare to say..."

Gu Ao nodded: "That's okay, I travel all over the world to study, and I like to climb mountains and swim the most. I don't know what is the grand scenery of Yingchuan, can I use the map to see it?"

The Zhongsheren thought for a while, and said: "If you just take a look, it's not difficult. My lord, please come with me..." Saying that, the Zhongsheren led Gu Ao to a shogunate house, pushed him away The door was lit by candlelight, and there was a map of Yingchuan County hanging inside. Gu Ao looked at it carefully for a moment, and the Zhongsheren pointed out: "There are three rivers and five mountains in the county. If adults want to climb mountains, only Zhu Huafeng can do it." Take a look, there are some rogues coming and going in the Xishan and Yueshan mountains to the west, sir, you should be careful..."

Gu Ao nodded: "Thank you for the reminder... I don't know if you need a special order from the county guard if you want to climb a mountain?"

"It's all easy to handle, and I can prepare one for adults."

"Thank you so much!"

Back in the guest house where he was staying, Gu Ao saw off the Zhongshe people and closed the door, Dian Bushi said to the side: "The county guard doesn't see us because he doesn't like us?"

It turned out that since the agreement with Gu Ao, the ordinary things that Dian didn't understand were all decided by Gu Ao.Only when the two get along, Dian Bushi will talk about his views.

Gu Ao smiled slightly: "Why do you want him to like it?"

"Are you going to climb the mountain tomorrow?" Dian Bushi asked.

"I have read and memorized these hydrographic and geographical maps and maps of the four directions of the world as early as in the Chengyuan Hall of the Academy. I said this today, but I want to see if there is any change from the past in Yingchuan County today. From this point of view, Not much...tomorrow we will go to the mountains and rivers for field investigation..."

Dian Bushi said: "Then how?"

Gu Ao said: "You have a horse, so do I, but I still need a pair of saddles, I will buy them together tomorrow, the driver should park here first, it should be safe."

Dian Buzhi chuckled: "That's good! I really didn't know that traveling around the world means traveling in mountains and rivers!"

Gu Ao also laughed: "You will know tomorrow."

The next day Gu Ao got up early in the morning, saddled his horse, and galloped out of the county town together with Dian Bushi, towards the mountain in Yingchuan County.In fact, Gu Ao traversed in this way, so why is it for traveling in mountains and rivers.Sure enough, within half a day, Dian didn't know it and shouted: "I didn't stop, I looked at one place after another, without any carefree charm!"

Gu Ao laughed and said, "We didn't come here to play."

In fact, Gu Ao's on-the-spot investigation was just to understand the topography and landforms of various places. Originally, the map of the entire Yingchuan County was in his mind, but he had never actually seen it.

Gu Ao and Dian didn't know how to go all the way, but they found many offensive and defensive places that were not marked on the map. Whenever they went to a place, Gu Ao would add it to the silk cloth he carried with him whenever it was beneficial. a sum.

Looking up, Gu Ao pointed to a cliff, he didn't know Dian and said: "This is a good place to garrison troops, can you see it?"

Dian Bushi shook his head, Gu Ao explained: "There is water on the mountain but not drought, the steep cliff is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the back mountain is dense and can be used for hunting and storing food, which is very beneficial!"

Dian Bushi was puzzled and asked, "Then why is there no garrison here?"

"It's just that they don't exist now," Gu Ao smiled slightly. "In addition, there are inconveniences here. 3000 people are the best, and no more will be enough."

Gu Ao and Dian didn't know each other, so they walked all the way, watched all the way, commented all the way, and memorized all the way. In only [-] days, the general survey of Yingchuan County was completed. On this day, they came to the last Gaoling. The garrison was stationed, and when the inspector saw Dian Bushi and Gu Ao approaching, he shouted: "Who is it?"

Gu Ao didn't know how to send the order of the county minister's family to pass, so the chief said: "Are you going to cross the mountain?"

Gu Ao nodded: "Exactly."

"Follow me!" As he said, Na Shichang led them to a pass, and saw that there was a camp inside, and a wooden fence outside, with a total of three floors, and they could go out of the mountain after opening the door.

"You stay here for a while. There is a big event in the camp, so we can't open the fence now. After the big event is over, someone will take you there." Na Shichang explained.

After speaking, he led Gu Ao to a small house next to him, there were tables, chairs and benches inside, it seemed that it was specially set up for distant guests to rest.Gu Ao came to the window and looked out, Dian Bushi sat down, let out a breath, stretched out his hand and took off the wine bag on his waist to drink.

The chief who was standing at the door smelled the aroma of wine and glanced at Dian Bushi. Dian Bushi immediately raised the wine bag and asked, "Brother, do you want to drink together?"

Na Shichang shook his head and said, "You drink."

Dian Bushi was very tired along the way.Gu Ao has been thinking about it all the time, which makes Dian Bushi a bit boring, and Gu Ao can't drink with him at night.Seeing that the corners of Na Shichang's mouth were loose, he smiled and said, "Come on! It's delicious to drink together! Brother, I'll pour it for you!" Then he picked up a wooden bowl on the table and was about to pour himself Pour the wine to Nashichang to drink.

Na Shichang hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I accept the offer, but I really dare not drink it today!"

Seeing this scene, Gu Ao couldn't help asking: "Why don't you dare to drink the fine wine?"

Nashi said, "Didn't you see what's going on outside?"

Gu Ao looked from the window and saw murderous aura emanating from it, the high platform seemed to be enforcing military law, he said: "What mistake did that man make?"

"Alas!" Nashi sighed, "That's our deputy commander. If you say he committed any crime, it's just that he drank a pot of wine while on duty!"

Gu Ao was stunned: "I didn't expect that your army's military law is so strict."

Na Shichang sneered, then sat across from Dian Bushi, and lowered his voice, "What's so strict? Bingtong drinks alcohol every day, and there's a beautiful lady in the tent..."

Gu Ao took a few steps forward and sat down at the table, he couldn't help leaning forward slightly, and asked: "Then why is this person punished after drinking a jug of wine?"

Nashi said in a long way: "You are outsiders, I'm afraid you don't know. In our battalion, the most successful soldier in the past was the Deputy Bingtong. The commander can't lead the soldiers, and there have been three military commanders in the past few years, and now this one is said to be a relative of the county guard, and he is the most consistent in running the army, no, I have to use the deputy commander!"

Dian Bushi frowned and said: "How can this be so? If you have made great contributions, you should be the boss. The deputy commander should have been the commander of the army long ago."

Gu Ao smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said to Na Shi: "This brother of mine speaks freely like this."

Na Shichang shook his head and said, "What's the fuss about it? Isn't it the same in the world? The big surname and the small surname are one heaven and one earth. Yu Fang, this is fate. Brother, you are too far-sighted."

Gu Ao said: "It's true that we have no vision. We have never known how to divide meritorious titles in the army with big surnames and small surnames? We count meritorious service, what's the difference between big and small surnames? Please give us a detailed explanation. ah……"

----

Gu Ao and Dian Bushi walked out of the camp, and when they came to the side of the mountain, Dian Bushi's expression remained uneasy. After walking for a long time, he suddenly caught up with Gu Ao and said, "... …I know today, why the Great Tomorrow King wants to come out of the mountain with his whole army, this is too bullying!"

Gu Ao said: "Feeling wronged is just a momentary mood. What's the use of spirit?"

"...What does big brother mean?"

"Since we are the elders of all things, the most precious thing we have when encountering adversity is knowing what to do. Now we travel all over the world, but we come here to study two things in depth. First, what kind of world is it? It’s the best just now; second, how can we achieve success in this world. Now that you’ve seen these things, first keep your energy in your heart, pay attention to it all the time, think about it every night, it will be useful in the future.”

"...Then... shall we act chivalrously and righteously like the Great Ming King in the future?" Dian Bushi couldn't help asking.

Gu Ao waved his horsewhip: "We can't be like him, there is only one dead end, we can do better than him!"
