Liu Jianji entered a house near the center of Xingqingfu City. He saw a white-haired old man in front of him looking at him in a daze, and there was a shadow of his elder brother Liu Ping. He couldn't help but blur his eyes. He couldn't help but kneel in front of the old man, hugged his legs and cried, "Brother, Erlang is here to see you!"

Liu Ping had no expression on his face, stroked his brother's head with his hands, and murmured: "Okay, okay, it's OK! I took my broken bone back to my hometown. But I was trapped in a thief and insulted my ancestors!"

Speaking of this, two lines of turbid tears couldn't help but flow.

Liu Jianji was 24 years younger than Liu Ping. His childhood was spent by his elder brother and father. His father Liu Hanning was finally appointed as the envoy of Chongyi, the commander of the military commander of Huainan West Road, and had a place to be in charge of the officialdom. Liu Ping gave this place to Liu Jianji and studied hard. He became a Jinshi in the second year of Jingde. The top scholar in that term was the current Prime Minister Li Di.

Pulling Liu Jianji up, Liu Ping held his face and looked carefully and then.

After more than two years of imprisonment, the old man has no longer had the temperament of a famous general who was able to control the three groups of troops and fight bravely in battle, leaving only a full body of frost. He was once full of energy, but now he has only ended up in a sad end.

Liu Jianji wiped his tears and said to Liu Ping: "Brother, a few days ago, I led the army to destroy Lingzhou City. Xu Dumao killed more than 60 leaders from Yuanhao in front of the army. Your revenge has been avenged. You don't need to mention the past, I will take care of you, and you can spend the rest of your life!"

Liu Ping let go of his younger brother and shook his head: "I am over 70 years old. I am a damn person. I can see you again, but I have many thoughts. What life can I have? Returning to the Central Plains will make people laugh, so I will die here."

Liu Jianji said: "Before entering the city last night, Xu Duwei and Wu Jingluo specially called me to come to see my elder brother and Shi Taiwei today. Although you have peace of mind, two grandpas will take charge of the matter. Xu Duwei said that although the elder brother and Shi Taiwei are trapped in thieves, they will not suffer any loss in their great rituals. There was no need to worry about it. In the past, Su Wu shepherded sheep and passed down through the ages. Both brother and Shi Taiwei were defeated and captured by the thieves. He insisted on not surrendering, and the court would not blame him."

Liu Ping patted Liu Jianji on the shoulder, shook his head with a wry smile, and stopped talking about this topic. He knew in his heart that he was regarded as a "general of poetry and books" by Zhao Zhen and had high hopes. How could this end be safe? The most important thing for scholars is reputation. No matter what, he was captured by the enemy in the end, so he had no face to go back to meet his colleagues of the king.

Let Liu Jianji sit down, Liu Ping looked at him and said, "I have heard that you are now a general, commanding thousands of troops, and once defeated Yuan Hao, the thief, and he is much better than me! Come on, let me tell you, how have you lived in the past two years?"

Liu Jianji sat beside Liu Ping and told him about his experiences in the past few years. He started with being transferred to Qinzhou to fight Yu Zanghuama, how could he become a general of the army under Xu Ping, and he was promoted again and again, and finally he became one of the five generals of the Longyou Army who were more in charge of the army.

For Liu Jianji, it was normal to receive military orders, marching and fighting, and pursuing and annihilation of the enemy, but it made Liu Ping sigh. At the time, in Sanchuankou, if the three armies had their lives, they should not have been defeated. As the general of the army in charge, Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun, who were the general of the army, rushed to the front and were still in a bloody battle. In the end, they were captured, one was that they had used up all their strength and could not move, and the other was injured on multiple sides. What did he do wrong? As a general, he had done everything he could do. At that time, he received Fan Yong's e-written article and went to save Yanzhou without any hesitation. However, in the end, he was defeated and became a prisoner, and he did not even have the courage to return to his homeland. It was not that he was afraid of punishment, but that he could not face the consequences of thousands of people. The bloody battle ended up being a mistake. The joke made by God was too tormenting.

After saying a lot, Liu Jianji finally calmed down and wiped his tears and said, "Brother, let's take a break. I'll ask the school to prepare some wine and food, so I'll go and invite Taiwei Shi. You have suffered a lot. Now Yuan Hao has been killed. The imperial army has entered Xingqing Mansion. Everything has been over. Xu Dupu of everything is the host. You don't have to worry too much."

Liu Ping smiled and said, "Okay, okay, go and go back quickly, I'll wait for you here."

Liu Jianji stood up, said, "Then I'll go" and went out.

Liu Ping looked at his younger brother's back as he went out with a smile on his face.

The school brought the food and drinks in, and Liu Ping said, "You guys will put them here. I'll go back to my room and change into new clothes."

When he arrived at the bedroom, Liu Ping looked at a bamboo couch with the ragged clothes and quilts on it, looked out the window, and murmured, "I didn't expect that Erlang would be so promising after not seeing him for a few years. It's just a pity that he has an older brother like me, how can there be no discussion behind him?"

After saying that, he sat on the bamboo couch and looked out the window in a daze. Yes, I knew, and many people also knew that I was unable to fight against the captured ones, and did not treason, and there was no place to be sorry to the court. But what's the use? In the eyes of others, I was ultimately a general trapped in the enemy country and was looked down upon.

He is over seventy years old, and life and death are not so important to me. My father has been away from home all year round, and this younger brother was raised by himself. It was not until he could run away or make trouble that he was a Jinshi and became an official. It is rare that he is so promising, and his future prospects are limitless. How could he be implicated because of his own brother with stains?

When I met last, Liu Ping was already worried and there was no more concern in this world.

The most difficult thing in the world is death, and the easiest thing is nothing more than the word "death". If you have no desire for life, death cannot be terrible.

After adjusting his clothes, Liu Ping put a cloth on the beam of the roof and bowed to the south: "I am the commander of the three routes to command the army and fight against the thieves at Sanchuankou. I ask myself that I am loyal and honest, and there is no humiliation of the ancestors. However, being a general and being a commander is a death sentence, and I cannot defeat the thieves. I will eventually betray the court. If I buried my bones in a foreign land, it would be fine. Others would just think that I died in Sanchuankou. Today, the king's army came north, and the thief chief leaned over and asked for the execution, but I no longer saw the elders of the Central Plains. For me, only one death can show my ambition. For my ancestors, only one death can prevent Erlang from being dragged down by me."

Speaking of this, he knelt on the ground and knocked three times to the south: "I will cherish my body, hair and skin, and my parents should take care of it. But now I have the truth that I have to die, so I can only do this. My ancestors have spirits, so I forgive my sins!"

After saying that, he stepped on the bamboo couch and put his head into the knotted cloth belt.
