Volume 4: Heroes Shed No Tears Chapter 121: Battle of Chang'an
Zhuo Donglai had a battle with Sima Chaoqun.
This battle is inevitable.
Zhuo Donglai originally wanted to use all means to make Sima Chaoqun a great hero.
But if Sima Chaoqun was a villain, then there would be absolutely no problem.
Sima Chaoqun will enjoy the glory, wealth and reputation that fame brings him, and Zhuo Donglai will also enjoy the experience of success and satisfaction that this unique "substitution" brings him.
——However, Sima Chaoqun is not a villain, he can truly be considered a hero!
He couldn't tolerate himself being a hero on the surface but doing things that only villains would do behind the scenes, so he had to fight Zhuo Donglai.
But he lost.
Heroes often fail.
But after Sima Chaoqun's defeat, it seemed that he could never stand up again.
Su Weiyun sighed: "Do you still want to try that dish?"
Sima Chaoqun said: "The Azure Dragon Rises from the Sea... That's all. There is no Azure Dragon Rises from the Sea in Chang'an, only Purple Air Comes from the East!"
"Purple air coming from the east..."
Sima Chaoqun suddenly raised his head and said, "Since I have already been defeated, Zhuo Donglai will never let me kill Zhu Meng again. But he will definitely not let Zhu Meng go!"
Su Weiyun was shocked and asked, "Who will he let kill Zhu Meng?!"
Sima Chaoqun said: "Anyone can do it! Whoever kills Zhu Meng will be the new head of the escort agency! Zhuo Donglai himself will never take that position!"
"If my guess is correct, the thirty-nine bandits in the northwest have probably all started to act."
When Qin lost its power, all the heroes started to chase it!
Sima Chaoqun said slowly: "But the one who fights Zhu Meng must be me!"
Su Weiyun asked: "Do you still want to go?"
Sima Chaoqun said firmly: "Yes, I will go again! This is an appointment, an appointment that no one can break!"
This battle is inevitable.
Sima Chaoqun insisted on challenging Zhu Meng to a duel!
But Su Weiyun stopped persuading her.
Both heroes have reached the end of their rope, with no way out.
The blue dragon is trapped in the shallows, and the fierce tiger is trapped in the plain.
If they had a fight, maybe it would have rekindled their fighting spirit. But it was hard to say who would win or lose in this fight.
Su Weiyun believes that Sima Chaoqun will lose.
Because Sima Chaoqun didn't want to win in the first place - he had always won with Zhuo Donglai's assistance and had never lost, so if he wanted to get rid of Zhuo Donglai's restraint and suppression on him mentally, he had to lose once!
Zhuo Donglai tried every means to make him defeat Zhu Meng, so he had to lose!
He could only prove by losing that Sima Chaoqun was no longer under Zhuo Donglai's control!
Sometimes, people have to torture themselves in order to take revenge on others. This may be one of the greatest sorrows of mankind.
Sima Chaoqun asked Su Weiyun sincerely: "Can you help me find Zhu Meng?"
Zhu Meng took Die Wu to heal his injuries, so he must have hidden them in a very secret place. Even Zhuo Donglai might not be able to find them quickly.
And if there is anyone in Chang'an City who can easily find Zhu Meng, that person is undoubtedly Su Weiyun.
…
night.
The lights are dim, and there is a small noodle stall.
The owner of the noodle stall is still tirelessly cooking bowl after bowl of "cabbage clear soup noodles". The soup is still as light and the noodles are still as clear.
The taste of this bowl of clear soup noodles will never change, only people will change; if people have experienced the ups and downs of life, the taste of the noodles will naturally be different.
Gao Jianfei knew.
He just sat at the noodle stall, holding a bowl of cold noodle soup and sipping it bit by bit.
Zhu Meng and Die Wu were in the most ordinary and cheapest inn.
The spies from the Grand Escort Agency naturally would not have thought that Zhu Meng from the Luoyang Lion Hall would come to such a simple place.
Gao Jianfei's mood was very complicated and difficult, but he still chose to help Zhu Meng. Perhaps even he himself could not tell what kind of mood he was in.
Brothers, and sweethearts.
Squeak.
The door of the inn opened.
A tall and majestic figure came out, holding a beautiful woman in his arms.
Zhu Meng looked at Gao Jianfei and said, "Xiao Gao...Diewu...Diewu turned into a butterfly and left."
Bang!
The bowl in Gao Jianfei's hand broke into pieces.
He clenched his teeth, his eyes sparkling like ripples on water.
Zhu Meng didn't cry, but he did.
He is not a hero, he can have tears.
"well……"
A man bent down and silently picked up the broken pieces of the bowl and placed them on the table.
After a long time, Gao Jianfei suddenly realized that the man was not the boss, but Su Weiyun.
Gao Jianfei choked up and said, "Brother Su, you are finally here."
Su Weiyun said: "I really don't dare to come."
"But he had to come!"
In the dark street, a figure as tall as a god slowly walked out, and the voice in his chest was still loud.
Gao Jianfei said: "Sima Chaoqun, why are you with him?!"
Sima Chaoqun said nothing, just stared at Zhu Meng.
Zhu Meng also stood outside the inn, staring at him.
Two majestic figures, two majestic heroes are extremely similar at this moment, as if one person is facing a mirror, with two shadows overlapping.
Gao Jianfei said: "Brother Su, why did you bring Sima Chaoqun here? Don't you know..."
Su Weiyun patted his shoulder and said soothingly, "Sima Chaoqun is no longer the head escort of the escort agency. He and Zhuo Donglai have severed their relationship and have parted ways."
Gao Jianfei said: "Then the two of them..."
Zhu Meng suddenly spoke up: "We have no grudges against each other, but fate has destined us to fight. After all, you were once the head of the Grand Escort Agency, and the Lion Hall was destroyed by the Grand Escort Agency you led!"
Sima Chaoqun said: "Yes, that's right. So we must fight quickly and make a quick decision!"
Zhu Meng said: "This is not the place for a decisive battle! I haven't buried Die Wu yet!"
Sima Chaoqun asked, "Where are you going?"
"Outskirts of the west city! "
"Then let's go!"
Zhu Meng held Diewu's body and jumped up at the same time as Sima Chaoqun, heading west towards Chang'an City!
Su Weiyun and Gao Jianfei looked at each other and did not leave immediately.
This was originally a fair battle. If Su Weiyun and Gao Jianfei were there, it would definitely affect Sima Chaoqun's mentality.
Gao Jianfei hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "I want to go and take a look!"
He also flew westward and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Su Weiyun sat at the noodle stall and said slowly, "Boss, give me a bowl of cabbage noodles in clear soup."
The boss smiled and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, but I have to close the stall today. Please come back tomorrow."
The noodle stall owner packed up his things and pushed the cart away.
In the dark street, Su Weiyun was the only one left.
This was the first time he felt that the prosperous city of Chang'an could be so cold and deserted.
He was about to leave when he heard many footsteps around him.
At the street corner, a group of people walked slowly along with Gongsun Baojian.
Mr. Ji came with his thugs.
Gongsun Baojian's face didn't look good at first, but when he saw Su Weiyun, he smiled and said, "It seems that I have made a contribution."
Su Weiyun stared at them and asked in surprise: "You are still alive?"
Gongsun Baojian smiled and said, "Thanks to Sima Chaoqun, otherwise Zhuo Donglai would have made our life worse than death. What a pity..."
Mr. Ji added: "It's a pity that if we kill Sima Chaoqun and Zhu Meng now, we can immediately become the chief escort of the escort agency!"
Su Weiyun said coldly: "Sima Chaoqun and Zhu Meng are not here."
Mr. Ji said, "It doesn't matter. Now that we have found you, we will find them soon! I have a hundred ways to make you tell me their whereabouts."
Su Weiyun laughed loudly: "Then come and try! If you can get even a hair of mine, I will be your family's exclusive cook from now on!"
As he spoke, he flew into the darkness.
"Humph, chase!"
"Some thieves are good at flying skills, but their martial arts skills are not that good! With so many of us, are we still afraid of him?!"
…
The city of Chang'an was quiet in the dark night.
The lights went out.
A silent chase is unfolding.
Su Weiyun was hiding in an alley.
He hid in many places in Chang'an City, and used his superb martial arts to get rid of forty or fifty people in at least one hour.
Even Mr. Ji disappeared.
Only Gongsun Baojian was still chasing him.
A narrow, dark, empty alley, very quiet.
Just as Su Weiyun was about to walk out of the alley, a voice suddenly appeared in his ears.
"Where are you going?!"
clang!
Gongsun Baojian drew his sword, and he ambushed at the entrance of the alley!
Su Weiyun didn't want to get entangled with him, so he turned around and went to the other side of the alley.
"Where are you going?!"
The same voice, the same figure.
An identical sword chopped down towards Su Weiyun!
It’s Gongsun Baojian again. How could Gongsun Baojian appear on both the left and right sides at the same time?
The Gongsun Baojian on the left suddenly disappeared, and the Gongsun Baojian on the right said, "My body movements are so superb, how could I not catch up with you?"
Gongsun Baojian on the right suddenly disappeared, and the voice came from the left again.
"I'm just afraid that Mr. Ji will take away my credit."
Why are there Gongsun Baojian on both sides of the alley?
In the darkness, there were gusts of cold wind, and the scene was indescribably terrifying.
Su Weiyun was frightened by this strange situation and trembled. She asked, "Where... where are you?"
"Hahaha, a cook is a cook after all."
"It's not good enough if you scare me a little bit."
Gongsun Baojian's voice came from left to right, floating and turning, making it difficult to tell where it came from!
Suddenly, two shadows, one on the left and one on the right, slashed at Su Weiyun's neck with swords at the same time!
At this moment, Su Weiyun, who was already trembling with fear and curled up into a ball, suddenly jumped up and greeted the attack instead of avoiding it.
He stretched out both hands, made them into eagle claws, grabbed the wrists of the two men, and threw them hard against the wall!
Bang!
Both of them fell to the ground.
Two identical faces, both are Gongsun Baojian.
Su Weiyun sighed, "Alas, you twins, you should wait until one of you dies before the other one comes out to act like a ghost. This will definitely scare a lot of people."
Gongsun Baojian asked unwillingly: "How...how did you see the mystery at a glance?"
Su Weiyun sighed, "My masters are probably your ancestors if they play such a trick. Where is Mr. Ji?"
Gongsun Baojian's eyes flashed with a vicious light, and he said, "He went to the west of the city!"
Su Weiyun was slightly surprised: "Does he already know Zhu Meng's whereabouts?!"
The other Gongsun Baojian said, "I already knew that Mr. Ji had bad intentions . He must want to take all the credit and leave the two of us here."
Su Weiyun said calmly: "But since you dare to show off your skills in front of experts, you can't blame anyone if you die here."
Gongsun Baojian's men were still frantically searching for Su Weiyun until dawn, when they found their master's body in an alley.
…
February 25th.
It was getting light.
Changanju, teahouse.
"I heard that Sima Chaoqun and Zhuo Donglai broke up. Did you know?"
"Yes, the escort agency is going to change its owner."
“I really didn’t expect that!”
“…”
Su Weiyun sat in the teahouse, ignoring everything, listening and speaking nothing.
The storyteller slowly came onto the stage and began to tell another exciting story.
But everyone was still discussing the recent major events in Chang'an City.
"This morning I saw Master Zhuo Donglai leading one or two hundred people to the west of the city. I don't know what they were going to do."
"A brother of mine who works for the Escort Agency said that Zhu Meng has come to Chang'an. Are they going to kill him?"
"Zhu Meng? That's the lion of Luoyang, Zhu Meng..."
“…”
Su Weiyun was shocked, stood up suddenly, and then sat down slowly.
——Zhuo Donglai led his men to the west of the city.
——Zhu Meng, Sima Chaoqun and Gao Jianfei were all there.
——Zhu Meng came from Luoyang without any men, because he came with the intention of dying. Moreover, the Lion Hall would certainly not accept that the whole hall would use all its strength just for a beautiful woman.
——If that happens, the Lion Hall that has been gathered with great difficulty will surely fall apart again.
——So Zhu Meng came to Chang'an only with Gao Jianfei.
——He found excuses to keep the spiked shoes in Luoyang.
——This time, facing the well-planned Zhuo Donglai, can they still escape?
The storyteller seemed dissatisfied with the current situation in the teahouse and suddenly raised his voice: "This time, I want to tell the story of Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, who resigned and bid farewell to Cao Cao!"
“…”
The storyteller spoke eloquently on the stage, but Su Weiyun was torn between his conscience and his desires.
——Should I go and save Zhu Meng, Sima Chaoqun and Gao Jianfei?
——They were originally very good friends, and Dingxie even saved Su Weiyun once in Tongtuo Lane.
——But what would happen if I went?
- Can I really save them, or will I just give away another life in vain?
Su Weiyun muttered to himself, "I have only been friends with them for a little over a month. I'm fine with helping them, but how can they put me at risk?"
The teahouse gradually became quiet as everyone was absorbed in the story told by the storyteller.
On the stage, the storyteller said loudly: "Guan Yu was not moved by the beauty, wealth and high positions. Instead, he rode his whistling red rabbit horse and held a green dragon crescent blade..."
Offstage, Su Weiyun secretly argued, "They haven't helped me much, why should I help him?"
"Guan Yu bid farewell to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's men tried every means to stop him and refused to let him go..."
Su Weiyun calculated again: "The time Dingxie saved me was only because I went to find Zhu Meng. That should be counted on Zhu Meng's head, and it has nothing to do with me!"
"On this journey, there are both open spears and hidden arrows, which are very difficult to defend. Master Guan Er is fearless and must meet Lord Xuande..."
“…”
"Fuck it, I really can't convince myself!"
Su Weiyun suddenly stood up cursing!
The storyteller continued, "Master Guan only remembered the friendship between him and Lord Xuande! Even if this road is as difficult as 'the road to Shu, as difficult as climbing to the sky', and even birds and monkeys cannot pass, he will definitely finish this road!"
When he said this, he looked at Su Weiyun.
——He was afraid that Su Weiyun would interrupt him again and point out that he had randomly used a line from a poem that was only created later.
But Su Weiyun did not say anything, and had already gone out and gradually left.
The storyteller breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "So I said, this great hero put his life and death aside, passed five passes, killed six generals, was loyal to his friends, and was extremely righteous!"
"This is what a true brotherhood is, a true loyalty is, a true hero is!"
There was thunderous applause.
Everyone in the teahouse cheered.
"Well said!"
"Keep talking!"
“…”
