Chapter 5 parting ways

The prisoners sent to Hanzhong Prison by Qu Bo, together with Fang Chengsong, were actually two big fish. Wu Xiangliu Jinchen of the Taiping Holy Kingdom and the eldest young master Xu Wenzhe. At this moment, they were also enjoying the fresh air of freedom in Hanzhong like Fang Chengsong.

Walking through the streets and alleys of Hanzhong City, I saw that the glory of the past has turned into a bubble. People are still there, and things have passed. Bo Jinchen and Xu Wenzhe looked at each other speechlessly for a moment, and thousands of thoughts and helplessness surged into my heart at this moment.

"Bao Xiang, you see how harmonious and peaceful Hanzhong City is under the rule of Li Wufeng. Along the way, Wenzhe View the same thing. Why did we care about the people but end up like this? Li Wufeng, who was born in a noble family, just focus on military and military expansion, but can make the country and the people in the territory safe? Could this world really belong to them forever?" He smacked his lips with emotion. Xu Wenzhe, who had been in prison for more than half a year, is far from the energetic young master in the past. With a gloomy face, he saw that the land under the rule of the great enemy of the Holy Sect was safe and sad. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

"Wenzhe, the word "Poxian" will never be mentioned again. The holy kingdom is the past history. Although we are unwilling to accept it, we need to have the courage to face reality. If we fail, we fail, and there is no need to recall the past. Of course, we can reflect on our past actions and examine ourselves. But how much meaning does all this have to us now? History without opportunities no longer belongs to us, and perhaps we can only serve as spectators of history." A faint melancholy appeared on Bo Jinchen's face.

Xu Wenzhe was speechless. Yes, everything has become the past, history will never repeat itself, and the initiative of where the two of them will no longer belong to him, but is in the hands of others. This is fate.

"Wenzhe, the people below Li Wufeng have already talked with you, what do you think?" Seeing Xu Wenzhe's face confused, the old man sighed and asked.

"Well, Su Qin had a long talk with me, but he didn't say anything clearly. He just said that he hoped I could see the current situation clearly and was not in a hurry. You might as well take a look and listen more to let the facts prove that Su Qin is very healthy and is a character. It's no wonder that Li Wufeng is arrogant in this Western Frontier, and his subordinates are indeed some capable people. The King of Qin is named OnePlus, I'm afraid that no one in the Tanghe Empire can compete with him." Xu Wenzhe also sighed.

"Wenzhe, you underestimate Li Wufeng too much. Li Wufeng's mind is not just this little King of Qin, right? It's probably difficult to accommodate the dragon Li Wufeng, all over the western border. This person is so ambitious and scheming that he is not something you and I can imagine." Bo Jinchen's face was unstable, as if he was thinking about something: "Do you know who is talking to me?"

"Who is it?" Xu Wenzhe was a little puzzled. Could it be that this question is worthy of being so serious: "Is it Li Wufeng himself?"

"No, it's that Xiao Tang." Bo Jinchen showed a strange look on his face.

"Oh, I heard that this person is one of the two major military and political aids under Li Wufeng, and has always been the number one leader in Li Wufeng's administrative system." Xu Wenzhe glanced at the other party whose tone had changed a little and replied casually.

"Wenzhe knows where Xiao Tang comes from?" As if he had not seen the other party's expression, Bo Jinchen asked down.

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Wenzhe thought for a while before saying, "It seems that he is from Beiyuan, but Wenzhe is not very clear about the specific situation."

"This Xiao Tang's original name is Tan Xiao. He was originally a famous talent in Pinglu Mansion. He was known as Kitahara Shuangjun when he was young." Bo Jinchen said lightly.

"Oh? Then it's not surprising that he is participating in Li Wufeng, but why did he change his name?" Xu Wenzhe was a little surprised.

"Wenzhe still remembers the peasant uprising that occurred in Beiyuan in 691?" Bo Jinchen suddenly changed the topic.

"In 691? Oh, I have some impressions. It seems that the victims' riots caused by drought in Pinglu and Qinghe areas eventually turned into large-scale uprisings." Xu Wenzhe thought for a while and said affirmatively.

"Yes, Li Wufeng was still an intermediate officer in the Imperial City Guard at that time, and he also participated in this suppression operation. At that time, the Holy King and I were not optimistic about the uprising, but under the instigation of the Kamans, the uprising was still vigorous, but under the suppression of the Imperial Army, he was soon pacified. During this period, the Holy King let me disguise myself in the situation to see if it has the value of attachment. Because of the special identity I represent, I also met some important figures of the uprising army at that time." Bo Jinchen showed a faint smile on his face at this time, "Wenzhe, do you know who I saw?"

"Who?" Xu Wenzhe's heart turned a few times and felt something faintly.

"Haha, it was this Lord Xiao Tang Xiao. He used his real name to Tan Xiao at that time. He played an important role in the uprising army. Most of the uprising army's suggestions and arrangements were made by him." Bo Jinchen sighed: "It was only later that the uprising army was defeated, and there was no news about him. At that time, Li Wufeng participated in the suppression of this battle, and most of the uprising army were massacred. I thought he died in the chaos, but it was a pity that he did not expect that the famous Xiao Tang was him."

"Old Bo, could it be you who misunderstood?" Such a bizarre plot seems to only appear in the play. Although Xu Wenzhe respects Bo Jinchen's words very respectful, he is still a little bit skeptical.

"Hmph, although Xiao Tang's chat and laughter changed a little, I believe that my eyes will never be wrong." Bo Jinchen said decisively: "Especially that inner temperament cannot be changed."

"But even if Xiao Tang is just talking and laughing in the past, what can I do? With Li Wufeng's power today, it can be said that he can cover up the sky with one hand. Even if Xiao Tang admits it in public, who can touch his hair? Moreover, Li Wufeng's command is mostly rebels and rebels and surrenders, which is not surprising to say." Xu Wenzhe disagreed.

"Yes, with Li Wufeng's power today, no one dares to have any objection. However, I think that Li Wufeng was just a small intermediate officer in the city guard, and he was so scheming and courageous, and privately took in important figures of hiding the rebels. Once it was discovered, it would be a crime of raiding the house and extermination. From this point, we can see the ambition of Li Wufeng. At that time, Li Wufeng was only in his early twenties. Wenzhe, did you and me have such ambition and courage at that age?" Bo Jinchen asked back and said: "As for the later surrender of the rebels and rebels, it is not an exaggeration. After all, Li Wufeng had already taken over the power of one side at that time. As long as he reported it to the above, he said that the other side had surrendered and recruited, it would be fine."

Xu Wenzhe was speechless. As the other party said, an ordinary officer of the city guard dared to take in and hide the rebels. This behavior was undoubtedly a rebellion. For Li Wufeng, who was only in his early twenties at the time, this was a huge gamble, but the other party dared to gamble.

The plainclothes that followed not far behind the two of them did not cover up the hiding, but followed them not far away and near, leaving them wandering around the city without interfering, Bo Xu and the other were also happy to be free and comfortable. They either went to the teahouse to drink tea or read books or walked around the streets, as if there was endless freshness to read.

"Old Bo, what are you going to do?" Two days later, Xu Wenzhe was finally a little tired of this kind of life and asked. The mist in the morning had not yet dissipated, but Hanzhong City, the capital of a county, had become lively. Vendors in groups of three or three, workers in groups of work in the workshop, farmers who came to the city to sell goods, and old tea lovers who drank morning tea, the streets and alleys were filled with a leisurely atmosphere.

"Wenzhe, do you think we should accept Li Wufeng's advice?" Bo Jinchen asked without answering.

His whole body was shocked, and Xu Wenzhe raised his head, "Has Mr. Bo made a decision?"

"I am nearly fifty years old, and I don't have much time to live. Wenzhe is still young and you don't have to make a choice immediately. I believe that with Li Wufeng's mind, even if Wenzhe chooses to leave, he will not be able to stay. The whereabouts of the Holy King are now unknown. Lan Bailin has defected to Situ Lang. The empire has lost the soil for the survival of the Holy Kingdom. The Holy Kingdom is out of the way, and there is no possibility of a comeback. I think it may be time to make a decision." Bo Jinchen did not look at Xu Wenzhe, but turned his attention to the distant sky. "Ling Tianfang has invited me to be his military counsel for Li Wufeng, and I have accepted the invitation."

Xu Wenzhe was killed by lightning and stood there in a daze. He didn't say anything for a long time, but the volatile painful expression on his face was beyond words.

"Wenzhe, there is no banquet that will never end. Bo Jinchen's original wish was to use the establishment of the Holy Kingdom to restore the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. However, the facts prove that our set will not work. Maybe Wenzhe said that it was all bad things for Yu Yongzhi and others, but in prison I have also reflected carefully. Even if there is no Yu Yongzhi and others, even if we follow the track we set, the Holy Kingdom will be difficult to maintain for a long time. Because I found that there is too much difference between our purpose and reality, and I want to rely on the lowest-level people. Under the current circumstances, things cannot be realized because power and wealth always need to be controlled by some people, and it is impossible to distribute it evenly into each person. The ideal heaven in our minds is nothing but a dream of nothingness and cannot be realized." Bo Jinchen's words are full of the heavy weight after going through vicissitudes. "Maybe Wenzhe doesn't understand it now, but I think when Wenzhe travels more to see the situation of the empire, inside and outside, maybe you can understand what I said."

Xu Wenzhe, who looked complicated, had already woken up from his momentary shock: "That old man, we will come to the future................"

"Wenzhe, if Wenzhe still has his own career in the future, then we will be the leader and have nothing to do with each other. Whether it is an enemy or a colleague, I look forward to the next meeting with Wenzhe." Bo Jinchen showed a happy smile on his face.
