Chapter 75: The East does not hear

Emperor Ze forced a smile and said, "There is now a shortage of money and food, and the people are in a panic. After I die, I must not handle it in a big way. I am frugal all my life. You must not defile my reputation after I die."

The four of them kowtowed together and replied, "I will obey the order."

Emperor Ze said again: "After I die, Dongfangsheng does not have to support the spirits and move south. The weather is cold and the earth is frozen. My son must take care of his health, and for the country's economy and the people's plans, and do not abolish the public because of his own."

Dongfang Sheng kowtowed again and choked and replied, "Children obey the order."

Emperor Ze said again: "After my death, the three officials will honor Dongfangsheng as the emperor, and they must do their best."

The head of the three officials kowtowed and replied: "I will obey the order."

Outside Zhenbei Pass, Gu Du leaned against a tree, chewing dry cakes and drinking cold water. Although he killed more than a dozen defenders of Zeguo in three days, his anger did not weaken at all.

A man appeared in sight, wearing a black robe, Gu Du quickly stuffed a water bag, stood up and ran away.

The other party was wearing a long robe, and he must have been a spirit master. And it was naturally not a weak hand when he dared to search for him alone. He did not bring a soul army when he left the seclusion because he was just coming out to vent his anger.

The man shouted, "Don't run away, I won't fight with you, I just want to say a few words to you."

Gu Du stopped, and he didn't feel the chill in his heart. The other party might be telling the truth. He turned around and stared at the man carefully. He saw that it was an old man with gray hair, dry face, thin body, neither the soul box nor the sword.

Seeing the man coming slowly, Gu Du asked, "You have empty hands, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

The old man replied, "I'm afraid! But I still want to say a few words to you."

Gu Du said, "Just stand there and talk!"

The old man replied, "Let me get closer. I am old and lack strength. I keep shouting like this and I can't keep up."

Gu Du drew out the horizontal sword to deal with the Spirit Master. The bow and arrow were useless, and he had to have a knife in his hand to work.

Nearly one meter away, the old man stopped, raised his hand to salute, and said, "I am the second seat of the Imperial Spirit Secretariat in Zeguo, and the main priest did not hear it from the east."

Gu Du said: "Mr. Dongfang, if I bring your head back, it will be a great achievement."

Dongfang Buwen said with a smile: "If my head can make you get what you want, I will take it away."

Gu Du sneered and said, "Your message is really well-informed. You have only known everything in just a few days."

Dongfang Buwen said, "Young man misunderstood. I have not received any intelligence, just because you are neither leading troops to fight or attacking at night, but are fighting and shooting an arrow from the west. You are not here to fight, but to vent your anger. I think you are troublesome, brother."

Gu Du said: "Whether I fight or exhale, you and I are hostile to each other, what can I say?"

Dongfang Buwen smiled and said, "Brother, you misunderstood again. I am not here to question you. I am each of them and are hostile to each other. You can't do anything too much. I am just curious and want to ask, what happened to make a leader and a talented man get angry."

After pausing, Dongfang Buwen said again: "Of course, you can't tell me either. Anyway, you will receive intelligence soon. I just can't wait."

Gu Du said, "You old man is so strange. You are willing to take the risk of life and death because you can't wait to read the spy?"

Dongfang Buwen said, "Not only that, but you are Gu Du, the brave general who was trapped by Master Chu Qin in Rizhao, and the husband recognized by Jin Lan."

Gu Du frowned slightly, Dongfang Buwen said, "I am not afraid of death. As long as it is something I am interested in, I want to know when I am still alive that I can wait before, but now I am old and can't wait. Who knows if I can lie down tonight and wake up tomorrow morning."

Gu Du said, "The Spirit Emperor does not allow me to marry Jin Lan."

"Oh?" Dongfang Buwen asked in surprise: "Why?"

Gu Du looked at him without saying anything, Dongfang Buwen smiled, turned around and walked towards the tree that Gu Du had just leaned against, sat under the tree and said, "I'm old, my legs hurt after standing for a long time. I'm old and I don't have to be alert at all times."

Gu Du said: "Sir, don't always talk about this old word. I see that the old man is walking as fast as hell, with a strong back and strong waist. If you and I are right, even if I win in my youth, it will be difficult to kill the old man within thirty rounds."

Dongfang Buyin smiled and began to beat his legs. While pounding, he said, "Although the sunset is bright, it is near dusk. It's not impossible to fight hard, but after the fight, it's really not possible. I still want to save some time, drink some wine, eat some meat, and inquire about other things."

Gu Du turned to him with a knife, looked at him and asked, "Old sir, what are you here to do?"

Dongfang Buwen said, "Inquiry about the other people's business."

Gu Du snorted coldly and said, "I think the old man is not here to inquire about other people's business, but to deliberately instigate me."

"Is that true?" Dongfang Buwen smiled faintly, looked at Gu Du and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Gu Du frowned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Dongfang Buwen asked again, "Do you think you have any resentment? Can I have an opportunity to take advantage of it?"

Gu Du frowned even more. He asked this well. He didn't say anything, but he thought he was here to persuade him to surrender. Doesn't that just mean that he was wronged and resentful?

Dongfang Buwen smiled again and asked, "Brother Gu, why are you fighting?"

Gu Du was a little confused, and at the same time he felt that Dongfang was unfathomable. He thought about it and asked without answering a question: "Why did the old man fight?"

Dongfang Buwen replied, "I am fighting for death."

Gu Du said: "I don't understand, if I don't abandon you, please give me advice."

Dongfang Buwen said: "The most painful thing in the years of war and killing is the ordinary people. Either Ling Kingdom destroy Ze Kingdom or Ze Kingdom destroy Ling Kingdom. Otherwise, the war will continue and the world will be unstable. Therefore, I am fighting for the death, and no matter who dies, I can return peace to the world."

Gu Du lowered his eyes and pondered for a while. After a while, he inserted his knife into the sheath and said, "Why do you have to beat him? Is it not good for everyone to live in peace?"

Dongfang Buwen beat him up and said, "Brother Gu is so naive! On this grassland, blood stained the earth, piles of bones, and the hatred accumulated over hundreds of years has reached its core. Who is willing to stop? Who can stop?"

Gu Du was silent again, Dongfang Buwen said again: "You haven't told me yet why the Spirit Emperor didn't allow you to marry Jin Lan?"

Gu Du replied: "The Ling Emperor does not believe that Jin Lan is truly betrayal."

"So that's it." Dongfang Buwen nodded, then stood up and said, "I understand, I'm back."
