Seven hundred and tenth chapter can not afford to die(1/2)
Yang Chen watched Xun Chen's face gradually turn from the initial pride to a kind of earth-shade, and then turn into this red purple color, completely becoming pale. All the things that Xun Chen could not be proud of were completely dispersed by Yang Chen's words, and now it turned into a bitter smile.
"In this case, Xun Chen is self-indulgent. Yes, I am a failed person. How could His Highness the King of Shu fall in love with me? How could he come to Youzhou for such a useless person?" Xun Chen smiled bitterly on his face. He suddenly remembered a comment from Xu Shao to Xun Chen, which was the five heroes of Xun's family. Xun Youruo was talented and proud, polished him, and kept him as a talent, and the proud remained as a waste. Xun Chen used to ignore this sentence, but instead regarded his arrogance as the greatest help, because the Xun family was born aristocrat, so how could the nobles compare with those lowly civilians?
In addition, Xun Chen helped Yuan Shao take over the land of Jizhou as soon as he made his move. Yuan Shao really lived up to his entrustedness and became the overlord of Hebei, which made Xun Chen's arrogance even more. He looked down on Tian Feng and Ju Su, such great scholars from poor families, so Xun Chen was disdainful to participate in the strategy mentioned by Tian Feng and Ju Su and others. In his opinion, only noble people like the gentry can study. Why should a group of poor families be on par with them?
Therefore, Xun Chen has never cooperated with Tian Feng Ju Su and others, and has even fought against each other. The only benefit of Xun Chen's arrogance brings to him is that he has not joined either Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang. Otherwise, Xun Chen's arrogance would have brought him a life-threatening disaster.
Xun Chen's face was already screaming. Yang Chen knew that Xun Chen was already in a state of silence. If he continued to speak, Xun Chen might not be able to go back to Yangzhou.
"Xun Chen is the goods haha!" Xun Chen laughed and said to Yang Chen, "Master Yang. Please go back and say to His Highness the King of Shu that Xun Chen can't go to Yangzhou." Xun Chen was already covered in ashes. He was heading towards the deck over there on the warship. Xun Chen had no longer survived.
"Master Yang?" The deputy envoy next to him was anxious. This time they came to find these talents left by Yuan Shao. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to his lord, King Shu Liu Mang, that even if Xun Chen dies, you will have to die in Yangzhou. If you get off the boat, you will die again. If you die on the road, you will commit suicide. This is their sin. They can't afford it. The envoy couldn't help but blame Yang Chen for coming, and he would send someone to stop Xun Chen.
"Haha, let him go, go, go!" Yang Chen didn't stop Xun Chen at all, and even stopped the people who wanted to rescue Xun Chen.
"Sir Yang Chen, thank you!" Xun Chen nodded and thanked Yang Chen. Since he could not live with dignity, he should die with dignity. Just when Xun Chen was bored and was about to end his failed life, Yang Chen's words came out again.
"No wonder Xun Chen's talent is very useful. Die, die. Let's go, wait for Mr. Xun Chen to commit suicide after he jumped into the sea and committed suicide. It said that the coward Xun Chen was not as talented as Tian Feng and Ju Su, and he committed suicide in shame!" Yang Chen's words were extremely dull, but in Xun Chen's mind, he was even more vicious than the most poisonous venom in the world.
"Yang Chen, you!" Xun Chen waited and looked at Yang Chen. If he really died here, Yang Chen would erect a stone here, then Xun Chen would be really famous, and even the Xun family would be famous. Xun Chen thought that perhaps in a thousand years, Xun Chen would be laughed at for thousands of years and be infamous for thousands of years.
"Yang Chen, can I not even die?" Xun Chen stared at Yang Chen, and you, Yang Chen, humiliate the living people, don't even let the dead go.
"Yes! Mr. Xun Chen, you are so self-righteous!" Yang Chen waved his hand and said to Xun Chen. Even Yang Chen shouted to the people under his command, "Come on, let go of a position and let Mr. Xun Chen commit suicide. The water on the side is deep, and if you jump down, it will be difficult for the navy soldiers who are good at hydrology." Yang Chen enthusiastically introduced the way to Xun Chen to death. "Or, sir, we have a good silk cloth, you can hold it on this hanging beam, and you will hang it on it soon. It may be a bit painful. This may not matter to Mr. Mr., anyway, I am not afraid of death and I don't care about these pains. Or we have a sword here, so don't you strike the neck?" Yang Chen's words made Xun Chen feel ashamed.
What did the ancients care about? The generals may be simpler, that is, to make achievements, while civil officials are much more complicated. They may be to be famous all over the world, or to help the world, or those who are worried about the world hope that their talents will be used by the imperial family, but the fundamental reason is to want a history of history, and no one wants to become a person who has been famous for thousands of years, right?
Xun Chen is indeed not afraid of death, but he is afraid that his reputation will become worse after death. It is really more uncomfortable than death.
"Yang Chen, what are you going to do?" Xun Chen couldn't stand asking Yang Chen over there. He didn't expect that Xun Chen would fall into the hands of a young man.
Listening to Xun Chen's words, Yang Chen smiled. If he played a trick, then Yang Chen would not be Xun Chen's opponent. Even the place where he was in charge, Yang Chen was also not Xun Chen's opponent, but he was more like the runner. Haha, then Yang Chen was really Xun Chen's ancestor level. Who made his father Yang Hong such a runner master? He smiled and would make you mess up, and even let you die.
"If Mr. Xun Chen, you really want to die like this without any scruples, you can return our money to us." Yang Chen said to Xun Chen.
"What money?" Xun Chen asked subconsciously.
"Of course it's the money for those Yangzhou swords that you exchanged for!" Yang Chen said to Xun Chen.
"Are there only a few hundred Yangzhou swords?" Xun Chen smiled bitterly. He didn't know whether to say that Yang Chen was good at market charity or his worthlessness. "Sir Yang Chen, I'll write you a letter. Go to Xudu and find my younger brother Xun You, he will give you money!"
"Take it seriously?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Xun Chen nodded. Although he had no face to go back to the Xun family, he was still a member of the Xun family. The Qian Xun family, who had hundreds of Yangzhou swords, was willing to do so.
"Okay. Write it! The person who came to send us a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Mr. Xun Chen. Finish it early and send Mr. Xun Chen on the way early." Yang Chen's philandering expression made Xun Chen very disgusted, but it was good to be able to relieve himself.
So after Xun Chen got the pen, ink, paper and ink, he immediately started to embellish the ink on the piece of paper, and soon a IOU was finished.
Xun Chen wrote it and handed it to Yang Chen on the other side. Yang Chen took it up and nodded, waved to Xun Chen and said, "Okay, Mr. Xun Chen, you can die." Yang Chen was very casual, which made Xun Chen feel angry. But he was almost dead now, so why do you care about these things? So Xun Chen nodded and walked onto the deck, looked at the vast sea, and took a deep breath. People, when they were dying, they were like they were thinking about everything.
Farewell to the world, to the Xun family, to the general forever, Xun Chen has already stepped out with one foot. As long as he steps out with another foot, it will be a perfect farewell to life and death.
But just as the Xun family was about to get rid of all the troubles in this world forever, Yang Chen, who was over there, suddenly shouted again, "Stop, Mr. Xun Chen, you can't die yet!"
"Huh?" Xun Chen turned his head and looked at Yang Chen and asked in confusion.
"Mr. Xun Chen's IOU is wrong!" Yang Chen said, pointing to the IOU in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Xun Chen asked Yang Chen over there with his anger.
"You haven't signed the signature yet. There is no seal or autograph from you. Who knows if this is true?" Yang Chen looked at Xun Chen over there, as if you want to pay the debt.
OK, I endure it. Xun Chen suppressed his anger and took back the foot that had already been taken out. He asked someone to take his parcel over, took out his seal from the parcel, and stamped his seal on the IOU, and then signed his name.
"Okay, Mr. Xun Chen, you can die!" Listening to Yang Chen's words, Xun Chen had the urge to strangle him to death, but I still endure it, and I will leave the world forever, the Xun family forever, and the general forever, Xun Chen has already stepped out with one foot. As long as he steps out with another foot, it will be a farewell to life and death. Just when he is about to die, it doesn't matter.
"Slowly, Mr. Xun Chen, you can't die yet!"
Yang Chen on the other side shouted again. "So what's wrong?" Xun Chen turned his head and looked at Yang Chen on the other side and asked.
"Mr. Xun Chen, what year and month did you write? What if the Xun family doesn't admit it? What should I do if I say I'm forging it?" Yang Chen looked at Xun Chen innocently.
Okay, I endure it, Xun Chen took the foot back again, took it from Yang Chen, wrote it on the IOU XX in Jian'an, and gave it to Yang Chen again.
"Okay, Mr. Xun Chen, you can die." Yang Chen nodded.
Farewell to the world, to the Xun family, to the general forever, Xun Chen has already stepped out with one foot. As long as he steps out with another foot, it will be a perfect farewell to life and death.
"Slowly, Mr. Xun Chen, you can't die yet!" Yang Chen's loud voice rang again.
Made, the clay man has three tempers. I just want to die, I want to die, why is it so difficult, so difficult? Xun Chen was almost crying, and he didn't plan to pay attention to Yang Chen over there and was about to die.
"Mr. Xun Chen, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't come back, I will really erect a monument here. Our lord may even write a letter to Xudu and ask Mr. Xun Chen for the position of a marquis. What's the name? Depressed Marquis? Debunking Marquis?" Yang Chen murmured to himself.
"You are the marquis, your whole family is the marquis!" Xun Chen finally couldn't help it and roared loudly. Yang Chen grabbed Xun Chen's life span, that is, Xun Chen wants reputation.
"That's right!" Yang Chen smiled and handed over the IOU.
"So what's wrong!" Xun Chen had the urge to strangle Yang Chen to death. "Seal, time, signature is not bad, what are you going to do!"
"Sir, those are not bad, but the money is not right!" Yang Chen said to Xun Chen over there.
"The number is wrong?" Xun Chen looked at the IOU in confusion, which said that Xun Chen owed His Highness Liu Mang, the King of Shu in Yangzhou.
"Not three thousand gold!" Yang Chen shook his head to Xun Chen and said.
"What is that? I'll write it!" Xun Chen looked at Yang Chen with contempt. This person is so merciless that it is difficult to achieve great things.
This kind of villain, Xun Chen, disdains to date.
"It's this number!" Yang Chen raised six fingers as he said that.
"Six thousand gold. Good. Insatiable!" Although Xun Chen felt that six thousand gold was a bit too much, he still modified the IOU and replaced the three thousand gold with six thousand gold. After writing it, he stamped it with a seal. After it was difficult, he wrote the date and taught it to Yang Chen.
"Can I die now?" Xun Chen asked Yang Chen. Xun Chen made up his mind and would definitely die later. Even if Yang Chen had any trouble, Xun Chen would not care.
"It's not possible!" Yang Chen shook his head and Yang Chen directly rejected Xun Chen.
"Why?" Xun Chen was really angry. He was waiting for Yang Chen. "Can I, Xun Chen, even death? I don't believe that you, Yang Chen, can stop me."
"Haha, of course I can't stop you, Mr. Xun Chen, but you don't even pay back the money you owe. People like you are really untrustworthy. The Xun family only has such a person! It's simply a joke!" Yang Chen didn't give any face to Xun Chen.
"You are not allowed to insult the Xun family!" Although Xun Chen had no face to go back to the Xun family, he was not allowed to humiliate him.
"Then you pay back the money!" Yang Chen refused to give in at all.
"I'll give you all six thousand golds, what else do you want!" Xun Chen shouted loudly at Yang Chen.
"Six thousand gold, haha, Mr. Xun Chen, you are sending the beggar." Yang Chen also sneered and said to Xun Chen. Whose beggar can get six thousand gold?
"Then how much do you want!" Xun Chen finally knew. This Yang Chen is really a charity, isn't it just asking for money?
"I only have a friendship price of 60,000 yuan!" Yang Chen stretched out six fingers and said to Xun Chen.
"Hahahaha, I'm so laughing to death. Are the people under His Highness the King of Shu all such arrogant people? Sixty thousand gold, only hundreds of swords? Why don't you rob them?" Xun Chen finally couldn't help it and shouted loudly at Yang Chen. Sixty thousand gold? How could the Xun family give so much money? Even if they can take it out, they wouldn't teach it alone for him, Xun Chen.
"Ratch? Haha, it's true that people are about to die, so I don't want this shamelessness!" Yang Chen also sneered. "I tell you Xun Chen, that's not hundreds of battle knives, that's a thousand battle knives, and a thousand best battle knives made in Yangzhou. Each of them is more than 60 gold. I think that the Xun family is a noble family, so I only gave you such a price. I Yang Chen won't cover you. As long as you pay back the money, do you want to die or live as you want. Even if you want to get off the boat, I will immediately send the warships under my command to the shore."
"Huh?" Xun Chen looked at Yang Chen's expression and attitude, and his heart was a little shaken, but he still sneered, "I want to see what kind of war knife is worth 60 gold. Is it a treasure knife!"
"Sir Yang Chen, do you want to give you time to find these two treasure knives!" Xun Chen looked at Yang Chen coldly and wanted to expose Yang Chen's words. Yang Chen must not be able to come up with such a war knife. Maybe he just found one or two real treasure knives to deceive himself?
"No need! You want a sword? It's so simple. Come on, pull out your sword for me!" Yang Chen shouted to the guards under his hands.
"Yes!" Yang Chen's personal guards were asked to pull out the swords one by one, and shone coldly.
"What? Are you angry and embarrassed and want to kill someone to silence me?" Xun Chen sneered. Xun Chen is really not afraid of death. If he was killed by this random knife, he would not have to kill him.
"Silence me, haha, Mr. Xun Chen, you are too arrogant to yourself. You want to look at the sword? Come on, show it to you, the person who comes to take the sword to Xun Chen!" Yang Chen ordered to the person under his command.
"Yes!" Dangdang, a pile of war knives were thrown on the deck and a crisp sound burst out.
"All these?" Xun Chen looked at Yang Chen in confusion.
"Please do it!" Yang Chen waved his hand.
Xun Chen took out a sword from the ground and picked it up. Looking at the cold light on the sword, he couldn't help but nodded. It was indeed a good sword, but no matter how good it was, it would not reach sixty gold one.
This sword does not have sixty gold per piece, but you should know that the cost price in Yangzhou is hardware, but it will be more than outside, because these swords are all made of iron and are only stronger than those blacksmiths who have been tempered. Because it takes a long time for blacksmiths to go from polishing the sword embryo to tempering it, it is rare to have a good sword, and it is normal for a dozen or hundreds of gold to be tempered. Liu Mang made the craftsmen to avoid casting the sword embryo, and it only took a thousand to be tempered, so the work efficiency was not improved a little bit.
If the ancient iron ore was burned and treated like before, the iron ore that was not completely burned and cured. The weapons created were naturally brittle. Although they could kill people, they were much worse than those that were directly watered. This is why Liu Mang sold 60 gold with a sword and everyone rushed to ask for it.
"Get my sword!" Xun Chen could not see the benefits of the sword alone, just like good things need to be compared. Xun Chen asked them to compare his sword.
The guard beside him looked at Yang Chen. Without Yang Chen's words, no one dared to go down to get a sword for Xun Chen. Yang Chen nodded, and the people below dared to go. Soon Xun Chen's sword was taken.
The sword of Xun Chen was also good. It was a member of the Xun family who spent a hundred gold coins to hire an old blacksmith to create a sword made of meteorite iron. Of course, this sword has more symbolic significance in Xun Chen's hands than in use, so it fell into Xun Chen's hands.
Xun Chen compared the swords that he had equipped with his Xun family with many tempers and compared them with these swords.
Suddenly, Xun Chen took his sword and slashed at the sword. Several times in a row, which made the soldiers of Yangzhou next to him feel heartbroken. This sword was their second life.
"Set!" There is no doubt that the sword was cut off directly and cracked open. The splashed weapon fragments even hurt Xun Chen's face, and blood was cut out. Blood flowed down Xun Chen's face.
But Xun Chen didn't care about wiping it, and he looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. Although there was a gap in the sword in his hand, the sword could still kill people.
His sword he bought with a thousand-drained gold, actually lost to this sword. If those ordinary swords and Xun Chen were in common, the sword would definitely be broken, and the sword was intact, but now.
"Impossible!" Xun Chen was a little disbelief. He picked up another battle knife and slashed at the broken sword. The same result was the same. Xun Chen destroyed the tiger's mouth of three or four battle knifes with his face. When the Yangzhou soldiers felt distressed and wanted to kill the middle-aged man, he finally figured out one thing, that is, these battle knifes are all treasure swords, and they are weapons that have been tempered for thousands of times.
His long sword on the other side told Xun Chen the fact that he was broken. Xun Chen's sword was worth hundreds of gold, so this sword that could cut Xun Chen's sword for him was naturally even more expensive.
Sixty gold! This is really a friendly price.
