Chapter 78

Situ Lan didn't show up again for the next two days. Instead, in the past two days, someone finally remembered that there were still people locked up in the military tent, and Situ Meng was worshiped with good wine and meat every day.

At first he thought it was a decapitated meal, he hesitated for a moment between being hungry and being decapitated, but he still didn't dare to touch it.But the severed head meal will not be carefully cooked twice a day, and the guards will not care whether he will eat spoiled food, especially during the march. Rich.

So from the next day, Situ Meng let go of his arms and enjoyed the delicious food and wine. The soldiers guarding him also changed. Although they still looked fierce, they were no longer so arrogant in front of him.

The days locked in the cage were quite comfortable, at least compared to when Jing Shen was trapped in Yangzhou, the treatment was much better—except for the first few days.Situ Meng thought that his existence might have been known to the King of Beiyuan long ago, and this sudden favorable treatment proved it.

However, Beiyuan Wang was more patient than Situ Meng imagined. He treated Situ Meng like a guest, but still trapped Situ Meng in an iron prison.One day, Situ Meng broke his eating bowl and used its tiles to record the days when he was trapped on the ground of the iron prison.

The two orthographic characters were drawn side by side on the ground, and finally on this day, Situ Lan remembered his existence.

To be honest, Situ Meng didn't have much hatred for his cheap cousin—or, since he arrived at Chengning Villa, his hatred for Situ's family was forgotten by the endless system tasks.

Many times, people are always like this. When there are more important or happy things lingering around, people's attention will be attracted, and then, once the initial resentment is dispelled, they want to gather again Get up, it becomes more and more difficult.

In the final analysis, human is a creature that seeks good and avoids bad. If life can be happy and smooth, who would want to live a life blinded by hatred?

Situ Meng raised his head and looked at his cousin with a gloomy face outside the iron prison. Situ Lan seemed to have fewer subordinates, but his expression was still arrogant, and the jewels on his body were only more than the last time we met. It seemed that this was the only way Only then can he maintain his precarious self-esteem before this cousin.

"You are my cousin anyway, and I don't want to see you end up in such a miserable situation." Seeing that Situ Lan just stared at himself and refused to speak, Situ Meng had no choice but to speak first, "Let me ask you, do you know what you are doing now?" ? You are helping Beiyuan and attacking our hometown!"

"So? So what? You want to preach to me, too?"

Situ Meng stroked the scratches on the ground with his fingers, "You still have a chance to turn back. If you put me back, I can discuss it with His Majesty so that you will be exempted from the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. The matter of the Fifth Prince can also be accommodated. Gao Haikuo, you don’t have to hide like this anymore.”

Situ Lan let out a "heh", and immediately raised his leg and kicked the iron prison hard. His body could not cause much harm to the people locked inside. Seeing that Situ Meng only frowned slightly, his anger suddenly exploded. It has risen to the extreme.

"What is 'collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country'? What is an 'enemy'? Are the barbarians in the northern plains my enemy? No, you are! You have been favored since you were a child, and you are just a lowly bastard, but you pretend to be like that all day long." You look like an heir; obviously I was the one to accompany you in the end, but the fifth prince always mentions you; you have already been assigned to Ningshan Town, but you are next to the sixth prince who is most loved by the emperor..." Situ Lanchao Roaring at the iron prison, his left hand, which lacked a little finger, couldn't help shaking. He held the wrist of his left hand with his right hand, took a deep breath, and his originally ferocious expression quickly calmed down.

"As for the 'traitor', how did the Great Zhou come about? You must be as talented as you, so you won't forget it? Winners and losers, if you lose, it's up to you to accuse me of any crimes, anyway, you are used to this kind of thing; If I win, I will be the founding hero with the merits of the dragon, and I will be famous through the ages... What qualifications do you have to say about me?"

"I'm not in a position to speak out against you," Situ Meng said, "After all, I'm not as thick-skinned as you, so I can't utter nonsense like this."

"you!!!"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

Situ Meng ignored the other party's trembling with anger again and the expression on his face that wanted to tear him into pieces with his bare hands, and said calmly: "You have to prove yourself, you have to complete your 'thousand-year dominance', you want to be famous forever, but everyone in the world What is wrong with the common people? Let me ask, besides this way, do you really have no way to prove yourself? Everyone really never gave you a chance?

"You want to be an accompanying student, and the second aunt and your grandmother have tried their best to give you the position of accompanying student; the fifth prince is kind and honest in nature. After becoming an accompanying student, has he ever treated you badly? Instead, it is you, relying on it." The fifth prince's trust in you led him astray; you caused the fifth prince so badly, Chen Xiangguo wanted to punish you, it was his grandfather who received the news through a dark thread in advance, and sent you out of the capital overnight... all kinds of things, you touch Touch your own conscience, and become what you are now, is it because of the persecution of the world, or did you do it yourself?"

"Enough!" Situ Lan shouted: "What do you know? You never understood! Everyone is looking towards you. After you were a talented celebrity when you were a child, even if you were dispatched to the land of the Southern Barbarians, you would still rely on you." I am outstanding in the art of setting fire. And I have always been just your shadow, just like my father, who can't even lift his head in front of the famous son... Now, I have won the appreciation of His Majesty the King in Beiyuan, you You're going to come out again to steal my glory!"

"..." Situ Meng's eyes were wide open to his inversion of right and wrong. If Situ Lan hadn't ordered someone to tie him up, how could there be so many troubles now?

He raised his head and took a deep look at Situ Lan, thinking that this person is really hopeless, and he has been dazed ever since.

Situ Lan finally vented his crazy anger towards the iron prison, but due to the existence of someone, he still didn't dare to do more transgressive things, so he could only leave angrily.

Will that kid in the depth of field find this place?If he knew he was here, would he run here desperately to save me?Situ Meng leaned on the iron prison, looking at the flickering torches outside the military tent and the shadows of soldiers coming and going, he couldn't help thinking.

"I have to find a way to go back quickly!"

However, just as Situ Meng was thinking about how to escape, whether the depth of field would find out that he was here, and whether he would break into here alone on a whim, an expected person finally came.

The new king of Beiyuan, Duo Lie, stood in front of the iron prison, looking down at Situ Meng. To be honest, psychologically, he was full of repulsion and hatred for Zhou people.However, it is an irrefutable fact that in the huge Beiyuan, even a fire mechanism master can't do it.

As the war prolongs, this disadvantage becomes more prominent.It is a last resort to exchange fire engine oil from the West for expensive fire engine armor and weapons. However, for a long time, all men of the right age in Beiyuan were conscripted into the army, and the remaining old and weak women and children had no productivity at all. It is difficult to send oil to the West, let alone go to mines to dig fire engine oil.

"Mr. Situ's reputation resounds throughout the Central Plains. Even in our Northern Plains, we have heard of it for a long time." The King of Northern Plains did not ask his subordinates to fetch chairs, but swept the hem of his robe, sat down on the spot, and looked at Situ Meng in the iron prison .

Dolie: "Before the start of the war, if anyone tells this king that a Zhou person can control the situation of the battle, and this king must turn to him for help, this king will definitely cut off the person's tongue."

Even though he was talking about scary things, Duo Lie's demeanor was calm and composed, as if he was just discussing tonight's dishes with someone.

"But now I believe it," Duo Lieshi put his middle fingers together, and tapped lightly on the iron pillar on the iron prison, "I think you Zhou people have already inquired about our background, knowing that the fire mechanism armor we use is also Well, whether it’s weapons, they’re all bought from Western countries.”

"We in Beiyuan do not have the technology to make fire engines. More than 100 years of labor and abuse have made us Beiyuan people know nothing except mining and hunting. Even the most basic rations have to be exchanged with our lives.

"You Zhou people are like maggots, parasitic in our flesh and blood, eating away everything we once had. And we Beiyuan people have really become what you call 'barbarians'. We can't do anything but work that we are all qualified for.

"The Zhou people pulled out our original sharp claws and trained us to be livestock, but unexpectedly, we were finally attacked by the livestock that had been domesticated for many years."

"You hate Zhou people." Situ Meng looked into Dolie's eyes and said calmly.

"That's right, I hate you, I hate you so much that I want to peel off your skin and bones, expose your body to the sun in the grassland, and let eagles and wolves bite your flesh bit by bit."

"But for you, I can't do that." Dore paused, although his eyes looked at Situ Meng, but his eyes extended, as if looking at someone through Situ Meng. "Beiyuan needs you, that's why I don't kill you."

"But I am a Zhou person after all, even if I surrender to you now, can you really accept me and trust me without any grudges?"

"Your brother can do it, so of course you can." Dolie said, looking down at Situ Meng's hand, "There used to be a saying that when making an appointment with someone, you should chop off the little finger that represents loyalty and give it to the other party."

Situ Meng looked down at his hand, he finally knew what happened to Situ Lan's dead finger.

"But you are a precious and rare fire mechanism master. People like you are always given preferential treatment. I don't know if the lack of a finger will affect your ability, but if you can be sincere, Swear to the mother of the grassland, maybe there is no need to carry out that bloody ceremony - of course, just swearing is not enough, after all, the fingers of a fire mechanism master are too valuable, especially a fire mechanism master like you, let us see Your sincerity, you have to offer something, an equal price."

"Let's stop here today, think about it carefully." Duo Lie ordered someone to serve him food and drink, and added a fox fur cape to him, and left after leaving these words.
