After two years of prison life, he had long been determined to die. However, Zhang Buhui was entrusted by Xu Jingzhen to forcibly transfer him from prison. It is unknown which brother was willing to die when he was sent to the execution ground by Luoyang Prefecture.

..

Thinking of this, King Luo Bin felt desolate in his heart. Unconsciously, he chanted slowly: "Farewell to Yan Dan here, the strong men are proud of their crowns. The people were gone in the past, but the water is still cold today." This song "Giving a Gift to Others" was written by him.

I wrote this poem inspired by my thoughts when I crossed the Yishui River on the way north to Hebei Province. It was titled as a gift, but it was actually written to myself. The poem was extremely desolate, but it was in line with his state of mind at this time.

Today is the seventh day of the first lunar month. From the cabin, you can see the hustle and bustle in Songmofu Castle in the distance. They are probably engaged in Spring Festival activities. Jingru is meditating with his eyes closed in front of the cabin, Xiao Jianli is practicing his flying knife, and Zhang Buhui is still sleeping in. No one is there.

Knowing what King Luo Bin was thinking, he stared blankly into the distance and considered making the most important decision in his life.

Yang Qingyu saw Boss Hei walking in a hurry. Everyone was hesitant and had no idea, and they all looked at him unconsciously. Boss Hei cupped his hands and smiled and said: "The second boss has some business and will be away for a few days. Please go and persuade Chen Ziang again.

He happens to be passing by here on his way to Songmo Mansion."

Jingru smiled faintly and said: "How to persuade? The poor nun thinks everything he said is reasonable." Boss Hei's face turned dark and he said: "Master Jingru, when it comes to matters of right and wrong, don't be emotional!"

Yang Qingyu also nodded and said: "Although we have joined hands to defend against the enemy, he is our enemy because he is attached to the Zhou Dynasty!" King Luo Bin said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, everyone, if he doesn't agree to turn back, I will make him regret it.

!”

Xiao Jianli smiled and said: "I'm afraid Chen Zi'ang's martial arts is already higher than that of Jing Ru, and we can't even defeat him together. Is there any other good ideas for Master Luo?" Everyone looked at King Luo Bin together. King Luo Bin said with a bitter smile: "I have my own ideas.

"After saying that, I couldn't help but touch my chest and cough.

***

After turning the top of this mountain, you can see Songmo Mansion in the distance. Chen Zi whipped the horse vigorously, and the snow raft galloped forward. It had not snowed for several days, and the snow was packed firmly, so the horse could run with much less effort.

In the quiet pine forest, two coughs were heard. The coughs were very violent, sudden and loud. Chen Ziang thought it was an ordinary Khitan man in the forest, so he ignored them and continued to move forward.

But the man chanted in a deep voice: "Farewell to Yan Dan here, the strong man is soaring to the crown." The sound of reciting the poem obviously used up all the internal energy, allowing Chen Zi'ang to hear it clearly.

Of course Chen Ziang knew the allusion that Jing Ke avenged Prince Dan of Yan in the late Warring States period and wanted to threaten the King of Qin with a dagger. Before leaving, Prince Dan and Gao Jianli, Song Yi wore white clothes and sent Jing Ke to Yishui. Gao Jianli built the building, and Jing Ke sang in response: "Wind

The weather is rustling and the water is cold, and a strong man will never return once he is gone." The song is tragic and exciting, and "all the soldiers are angry and their hair is on their fingertips." The first couplet of the chant in the forest is exactly about this incident.

But then I heard the man in the forest chanting soothingly: "The people were gone in the past, but the water is still cold today!" Following the passionate momentum of the first two sentences, he suddenly sighed soothingly, and a sorrowful and unexplainable sadness came out.

Such a good poem actually made Chen Ziang forget to rein his horse, and it aroused his thoughts. The horse ran crookedly into the forest, and the snow raft suddenly got stuck between two birch trees.

Zhou Meier patted Chen Ziang awake and said, "Brother, be careful!" Chen Ziang just woke up and saw a thin, tall figure slowly walking out of the forest. It was his master, King Luo Bin!

Pei Ting also drove another snow raft to stop outside the forest. She also heard King Luo Bin reciting this poem "A Question for Giving to Someone", and she couldn't help but secretly praise the poem. It uses contrast to convey poetic meaning, which is very contagious.

It can also be seen that King Luo Bin was extremely depressed and heavy in his heart.

King Luo Bin's face was still pale, which was not as good as Chen Ziang's recovery. Mostly because Chen Ziang's internal strength was rare in the world, and King Luo Bin was old and frail. Although it was only Chen Ziang's instinctive internal power that caused the injury, King Luo Bin was more seriously injured.

Chen Ziang suddenly felt the depression in King Luo Bin's heart and cried: "Master——"

King Luo Bin raised his eyes and stared at Chen Ziang, and sighed: "You still don't want to look back and follow the master?" After hearing the first words of the master, Chen Ziang frowned and said: "Master, this is a big right and a wrong, and the disciple really can't change it.

position."

King Luo Bin said softly: "It doesn't matter. If you don't want to change now, you can change at any time in the future." Chen Zi'ang lowered his head wordlessly, showing kindness to his teacher on one side and righteousness on the other. He really didn't dare to look directly into King Luo Bin's eyes.

"I still remember that when I took you in, you were still such a tall child." King Luo Bin actually recalled the past and said: "At that time, our life was considered carefree. When I carried water for my teacher, you would shower in the fields.

Vegetables. The cabbage was so big and dense that we ate it all summer long."

Chen Ziang stood up from the snow raft and listened to these memories with an emotional smile on his face. He also said: "Later, my master left Sichuan to serve as an official, and I practiced martial arts alone. I still planted vegetables in that field and even dried a lot of vegetables.

Wrap dried radish and eat slowly in winter."

"Yes," King Luo Bin said, "If it weren't for rescuing my master, you wouldn't have fallen into this mess." Chen Ziang lowered his head speechlessly.

He heard King Luo Bin say: "Master, it won't be difficult for you. You must remember that we welcome you back to the team at any time." At the end of these words, King Luo Bin's voice actually trembled. Chen Ziang raised his head and looked, he was already in tears.

.

He grabbed his sleeves to wipe away his tears and slowly turned around to leave. Chen Ziang lowered his head again sadly. Not long after, Zhou Meier suddenly said urgently: "Master Luo——"

Before she could finish shouting, she heard a "bang" in the distance! When Chen Ziang looked up, he saw King Luo Bin falling slowly from a birch tree!

"Master!" Chen Ziang ran over and knelt down next to King Luo Bin. Zhou Meier, Pei Ting, and Jiao Huiqing ran over. King Luo Bin hit the big tree, blood spurted from his head, and even his eyes were knocked out.

!

"Master!" Chen Zi'ang shouted wildly: "Master, why are you like this! Why are you like this!" He suddenly wanted to understand why King Luo Bin recited that poem and said those words! He had been prepared to die a long time ago

Come and persuade Chen Ziang to turn back!

Zhou Meier and Pei Ting burst into tears when they suddenly encountered this change. They did not dare to look into King Luo Bin's eyes that were still staring at death. Jiao Huiqing sighed: "Master Luo is too down-to-earth by nature."

Sobbing was also heard nearby, and a few people ran out from a distance. But Jingru was in front, wiping away tears as he ran over. Behind him were Xiao Jianli, Yang Qingyu and Zhang Buhui. The four of them came under the tree and watched.

Seeing this heartbreaking scene, everyone covered their eyes and couldn't bear to witness it.

Everyone looked gloomy, Jingru murmured: "It's my fault, poor nuns should take precautions. In the morning, Master Luo also... told me not to get involved in this matter. He had his own way to persuade Master Chen. But he didn't expect it.

Master Luo will use this method..."

Zhang Buhui shook his head and sighed: "Alas, my brother's temper will go all the way to the end!" Xiao Jianli supported Chen Ziang's shoulders and said: "Master Chen, please forgive me." Chen Ziang lowered his head and showed no reaction at all.

Jianli knew that he was overly sad, so he let go of his hand and signaled everyone not to disturb him.

Yang Qingyu didn't know how to comfort Chen Zi'ang at this time, and was in a dilemma. He had no choice but to stomp aside in anger.

Chen Ziang hugged King Luo Bin's body and slowly felt the body temperature disappear from his body. The master's body gradually became cold and stiff. His mind went blank and he didn't think about anything. He just knelt in the snow and didn't want to move.

I don't know how long it took, but my knees began to go numb. I heard Xiao Jianli say: "Let's bury Master Luo first." Everyone nodded, Zhang Buhui pushed Chen Zi'ang awake and said: "The matter is over, Master Chen, please express your condolences."

He helped Chen Ziang up and dug a pit with Xiao Jianli and Yang Qingyu to bury King Luo Bin. Chen Ziang knelt down in front of the tomb without moving.

When it was getting dark, Xiao Jianli said to Jiao Huiqing: "Take good care of Chen Daxia, and I'll leave later." But Yang Qingyu left another sentence: "Chen Daxia, if you insist on going your own way, the clan alliance will also be afraid of being broken up by you!" Chen Zi'ang

Her shoulders trembled slightly, but she said nothing. Jingru sighed and led the four of them out of the birch forest.

Jiao Huiqing and the others didn't know how long Chen Zi'ang would stay, so they had to pull the snow raft into the woods and set up a tent to spend the night. Zhou Mei'er and Pei Ting took out dry food to heat up, but Chen Zi'ang ignored it and knelt there for the whole time.

One night.

On the third day, Chen Ziang said that he would stay here for the first seven days for his master before leaving. Jiao Huiqing shook his head and said, "Aren't you going to deal with the official business of the court?" Chen Ziang's face darkened again and he gritted his teeth.

Jiao Huiqing hurriedly said: "It's up to you, we'll wait for you." He left Zhou Mei'er to look after Chen Zi'ang, while Jiao Huiqing and Pei Ting went hunting. Sure enough, they hunted a young deer, and their food for a few days was solved.

Chen Ziang stood alone in front of the tomb, and his mind was gradually able to think. This messy problem made him dizzy again. He said in his heart: Master, I am really sorry for you, and I cannot act according to your requirements. Let the disciple be in charge of the master.

Be a sinner in front of me...

On the seventh day, which was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Ziang respectfully knelt on his master's grave three times before catching up with the snow raft and heading to Songmofu Castle.
