Rise From the Humble

"Alas, the wind is rustling and the water is cold. Once my good nephew is gone, he will never come back."

A stick of incense, when Zhu Pingan walked out of the commander's tent, Wei Guogong looked at Zhu Pingan's back disappearing outside the commander's tent door, and listened to the angry shouts and killings of the rebels outside. He couldn't help but think of the tragic song on the edge of Yishui thousands of years ago. Jing Ke, who set out to assassinate Qin, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Bah, bah, bah, what a good nephew who is gone and never comes back. Don't say some unlucky words in this crow's mouth." Linhuai Hou spat three times, interrupting Wei Guogong's sigh, and threw a stack of cut rice paper to Wei Guogong. , said angrily, "If I have the time to sigh, I might as well write two more death-free scrolls."

"Oh, I always feel that writing is in vain." Wei Guogong picked up the brush and said weakly.

"You have to write in vain. My nephew stepped forward. We can't live up to my nephew's trust." Marquis Linhuai said with a glare.

"Stop saying a few words and write quickly. Three thousand copies is not a small amount. I think Mr. Xiao Zhu is taking the matter seriously, so it won't be effective if it is not guaranteed." Eunuch He wrote quickly, urging the two of them as he wrote.

"well"

Wei Guogong sighed and waved his brush in resignation. The words "avoid death" in his pen were weak.

For a moment, the handsome tent was filled with the rustling sound of brushes falling and paper being dropped, and the sound of stamps being stamped from time to time.

Just when Wei Guogong and the three of them were immersed in writing the death-free scroll, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps at the door of the handsome tent. With a swish, the door of the handsome tent was opened, and a soldier walked in quickly.

"who?!"

"Zihou was killed so quickly, is it our turn now?!"

"Do not kill me!"

Wei Guogong and others were so startled that they jumped up and threw away the brushes in their hands. They thought that the rebel soldiers had killed Zhu Pingan, broke the defense line, and broke into the commander's tent to kill them, so they subconsciously screamed.

"Master, it's me, Xu San," the soldier who entered the door knelt on one knee and explained quickly.

"Ah?! Xu San is your boy. I'm scared to death. Ahem, what are you doing here?!" When Wei Guogong heard Xu San's voice, he calmed down and shook his sleeves, trying to maintain his appearance.

The Marquis of Linhuai and Eunuch He were the same. When they discovered that the visitor was Xu San, a personal soldier of Duke Wei, they coughed, threw up their sleeves and put their hands behind their backs, puffed up their chests, and tried to restore their image of being as frightened as rabbits.

"Sir, it's too late to explain. The situation outside is extremely urgent. Lord Zhu asked me to get the death roll."

Xu San didn't have time to give any unnecessary explanation to Wei Guogong and the others, so he spoke eagerly of his purpose.

"We have only written five hundred and eighty death-free scrolls." Wei Guogong and others hurriedly counted them and handed them to Xu San.

"The younger one will give it to Mr. Zhu first." Xu San took the death-free scroll, apologized, turned around and hurried out.

Looking at the back of Xu San who hurriedly walked out like his butt was on fire, Wei Guogong and the others looked at each other, and they all had a bad feeling.

Xu San just said that there was a huge emergency outside, but he didn't even have time to explain, which shows how bad the situation outside is.

Is the knife on Zhu Ping'an's neck? ! Wei Guogong and the others couldn't help but draw a picture in their minds.

"Hey, hurry up and write." Eunuch He stamped his feet, squatted down again, and began to write the death-free scroll.

The Marquis of Linhuai followed closely behind, and Duke Guo of Wei sighed and squatted down to continue writing the death-free scroll.

They had just started writing a few pages when they heard waves of shouts and curses coming from outside. Voices such as "dog officials lie to people" and "kill dog officials" kept coming and going.

Wei Guogong and the others looked at each other before taking out the death-proof scroll. It was like this outside. It seemed that the death-proof scroll didn't work.

"It seems that the death avoidance scroll doesn't work." Wei Guogong could no longer hold the pen in his hand and was unable to write any more.

The Marquis of Linhuai also stopped writing.

Eunuch He looked at the two of them and couldn't say anything urging him. To be honest, he couldn't write anymore.

However, just as disappointment and despair spread within the handsome tent, the shouting and killing outside stopped.

"Listen, the shouting of killing has stopped!" Eunuch He was the first to notice, and his eyes couldn't help but light up!

"It really stopped." Linhuai Marquis and Wei Guogong were reminded by Eunuch He and also noticed this.

"Hurry, write the death-free certificate quickly." Eunuch He urged.

"Write, write"

The Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai wrote in a hurry.

Next, it was time to test the psychological quality of the three people. As the three of them were writing, they heard shouting and killing sounds coming from outside again. This wave of shouting and killing sounds was more harsh than the previous waves. Just before the three of them, When people's hearts are filled with despair and sorrow, the shouts of killing stop somehow, then ring again, stop again, ring again, stop again, like a tireless pendulum, reciprocating. There are several waves of shouts of killing. The sound was unusually surging, and they all in the commander's tent turned pale and their livers were splitting when they heard it.

God knows what kind of inner suffering the three of them suffered when they wrote the death-free scroll.

It was about tea time, and when they had just finished writing the three thousand death-free scrolls, there was a rush of footsteps at the door of the handsome tent, and Xu San came again.

After the last experience, although they were frightened this time, their bodies did not jump.

Just like last time, Xu San also had no time to explain, so he entered the commander's tent, took the death penalty certificate and left.

"Three thousand death-free certificates have been collected, and the dead horse has been treated as a living horse doctor. Let's see if it has any use."

Eunuch He saw that Xu San had taken the death-free scroll and went out. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gritted his teeth and walked towards the door of the handsome tent. Like a frightened little animal, he opened a crack in the door curtain and looked out. Although his reason told him that there was nothing to do, But out of the desire for life, I still hold on to some hope.

"Oh, let's see. If it doesn't work, we have to hurry up and write a suicide note."

Wei Guogong also walked over, bent down, and also opened a gap in the door curtain, closed his eyes and looked out.

"Then I'll bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. If it doesn't work, I'll write a suicide note." Marquis Linhuai followed suit and took three pieces of rice paper, three writing brushes and an inkstone. He also walked to the door of the handsome tent and joined Eunuch He and Duke Wei. Beside you, look out through the gap they opened.

Wei Guogong and the other three happened to see Zhu Ping'an standing on the table at this moment. He stretched out his hand to pull down his collar, stretched his head and exposed his neck to the rebels, with a standard look of righteousness and generosity.

"Death, death."

"Zi Hou is about to be beheaded."

"Give me paper and pen quickly. I want to write a suicide note. If it's too late, it'll be too late."

When Wei Guogong and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but look desperate and burst into tears. Wei Guogong reached out and grabbed a piece of rice paper and a writing brush from the hands of Linhuai Marquis, and eagerly wanted to write a suicide note.

The Marquis of Linhuai also squatted down and started to write a suicide note.

Only Eunuch He was still lying there, motionless. He was just a eunuch and had no children, so there was no need to write a suicide note.

Just when Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis were writing their suicide notes, they suddenly heard the surprised voice of Eunuch He above their heads, "Kneel down, the rebel soldiers outside have knelt down."

"What?!"

"Really or not? Eunuch He, are you dazzled?!"

When the Marquis of Linhuai and Duke Wei heard this, they raised their heads in disbelief and looked at Eunuch He with suspicion.

Then, they heard a deafening sound of "Meet Your Majesty" coming from outside.

When Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis heard this, they were shocked, jumped up from the ground, and looked out.

really

Upon entering, outside the tent, the rebels knelt down facing Zhu Ping'an.

"The rebels have all disarmed!"

"It's gone, it's gone, it's really gone. The rebels have returned to camp. How did Zihou do it?!"

At the entrance of the handsome tent, the Duke of Wei, the Marquis of Linhuai, and Eunuch He were all stunned. They were all dumbfounded and wild with surprise.
