Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 148 Zhao Shikang's Song, The Swordsman's Loyalty
Returning to Fusu, he led a large group of people to Shangdang County. Starting from here and going north was the territory of the old Zhao State. Shangdang County was also one of the several counties managed by Fusu. .

From here on, the people's attitude towards Fusu's team has obviously changed. Although they are still in awe of himself, the son of Qin, there seems to be a layer of hostility in that awe-inspiring eyes.

If Wei State invaded Qin State at its peak, it was Qi State in the east that brought Wei State down from its hegemony.But Zhao State is different. The biggest stumbling block on Qin State's road to unify the world is Zhao State.

Even though the national power of Qi and Chu was greater than that of Zhao, Zhao was the absolute main force in resisting Qin in the past, and Zhao also had many famous generals on the road to resisting Qin. Zhao She, Li Mu, and Lian Po were all responsible for Zhao's later period. ruthless character.

It's just that the royal families of Qin and Zhao, tracing back to their origins, are all people with the surname Zhao after the famous generals of the Shang Dynasty.

Fusu's convoy was moving forward on the road, and it was also guarded by soldiers sent by the Shangdang County Sheriff. After all, he also received an order requiring him to obey the orders and dispatches of his son Fusu.

Just inside Shangdang County City, there are residential buildings on both sides of the road. A man wearing sackcloth and holding a sword stopped the convoy in the middle of the road. A man stood in the middle of the road without fear, and led the young master Fusu to the county. The official guarding the mansion yelled loudly: "Young master, get out of the way!"

After saying that, the county soldiers prepared their bows, arrows and swords to prevent this man from attacking the team. But the man still refused to leave, so the officials asked the soldiers to prepare to kill him.

Fu Su felt that the speed of the convoy had slowed down, so he opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, he asked, "What happened?"

The official came to Fusu on horseback: "My lord, there is a person blocking the way in front of the convoy, I will send someone to clear him immediately."

After saying that, he wanted to leave to arrange for the soldiers to take action. Fusu waved his hand to stop him, turned to the carriage carrying Dian Wei behind and said, "Dian Wei, come with me to see what's going on?"

"Wei!" Hearing the young master's order, Dian Wei immediately opened his eyes, jumped out of the carriage and rushed directly to Fusu's carriage, because Dian Wei's figure was mighty and majestic, the ground seemed to tremble when he jumped off.

The motorcade stopped because of the young master's order, and Fusu also got out of the carriage, leading Dianwei forward.

When he came to this swordsman, he saluted in a Zhao dialect and asked, "You are the young master Fusu?"

Seeing the swordsman saluting, Fusu nodded: "I am Young Master Fusu, who are you?"

The swordsman was sure that the man in front of him was the young master Fusu. He slowly pulled out the sword, and every move he made looked like the knight Fusu had seen in movies and TV shows in his previous life.

When he drew his sword, Dian Wei immediately brought the pair of iron halberds to the young master Fusu. As a guard, the most important thing for Dian Wei is to protect the safety of the young master, not to mention that this young master is Dian Wei's lifelong son. object of allegiance.

The swordsman drew his sword and pointed it in the direction of Fusu and Dianwei, and continued: "I am a scholar from Zhao State. I am here to avenge Zhao State. This is a righteous war. I hope you will forgive me."

This is also a unique scene in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Even though these scholars have fallen into decline, they still adhere to the mentality of being nobles, and their every move is in line with the etiquette passed down by their families.

Although this swordsman came to assassinate Fusu, he was different from the group of people who came to assassinate him in Qin State before. That group of people came with the determination to kill Fusu.But this was not the case for this swordsman, because he knew that he could not hurt Fusu in the slightest.

But when he heard that Fusu, son of the state of Qin, was passing by Shangdang County, he still stopped in the middle of the road with one man and one sword. The knight was seeking revenge for the state of Zhao in his heart, in order to live up to his upbringing.

"I understand," Fusu sighed behind Dianwei even though the swordsman was here to assassinate him.

Compared with the swordsman's normal size, Dian Wei was like a giant, like a humanoid weapon. The moment the swordsman rushed over with his sword raised, Dian Wei had already cut his sword in half with his halberd.

"Master, what should I do with this man?" Dian Wei had already held the swordsman in his arms with his backhand. With Dian Wei's strength, the swordsman could not move at all. When the master gave the order, Dian Wei could strangle him in his arms.

"Strong man, you have been loyal to the State of Zhao and can leave." Fusu shook his head. It's ridiculous to say that he couldn't show any mercy to this down-and-out swordsman who risked his life to assassinate him. Kill heart.

Maybe the swordsman himself didn't understand that his behavior was also a patriotic act that Fusu highly approved of. It was a good moral character. Fusu even felt that the swordsman should not sacrifice for loyalty.

Dian Wei looked at his young master in confusion, but still let the swordsman go. For Dian Wei, the young master's order was the only one.But Dian Wei still looked at the swordsman cautiously, for fear that he would do anything to threaten the safety of the young master.

The swordsman was also confused, he looked at the young master Fusu in disbelief, never thought that the kindness of this young master was really as rumored, and he was also shocked in his heart.

Going back to pick up the bronze sword handed down by his family, he stared blankly at the young master Fusu who left with his back on his back. Should he continue to move forward with the sword?He asked himself in his heart, and unknowingly, tears appeared on his face.

Young Master Fusu is a benevolent ruler, isn't this the object that the scholars are vying to seek refuge in?But the swordsman couldn't betray the land of Zhao State that raised his own.

"Young Master, I appreciate your kindness and righteousness," the swordsman shouted loudly, "but this is the country of Zhao that gave birth to me and raised me. I cannot betray it. I must repay Zhao for my kindness."

"I would like to ask the young master, if the young master is in charge of the government, can he treat the people of Zhao well?" The swordsman asked Fusu, the young master of Qin, loudly.

This sentence made Fusu look back at him: "There is no longer Zhao State in the world, and the people here are also the people of our Qin State. I, Fusu, will naturally love them as much as I do my own people."

"I thank you, son. Your benevolence and righteousness will be repaid in the next life!" After receiving Fusu's affirmative reply, the swordsman saluted Fusu first, and then wiped his own neck with the broken bronze sword.

The swordsman knew that the only thing he could do for this land was to die for himself. This was his last loyalty to the 'Zhao Kingdom'. Blood spattered from his neck, and he slowly knelt on the ground. This kneeling is not Fusu kneeling, but the land that raised him.

This sudden move made Fusu immediately arrange for the imperial doctor to come over to check it out, but it was a pity that the swordsman's sword was very accurate, and the wound on the main artery could not be healed at all.

Looking at the knelt corpse of the swordsman, Fusu shook his head helplessly. This is his loyalty and dignity. If he was in later generations, or in Qin, this swordsman would never become like this.

Fusu ordered helplessly: "You arrange someone to bury him, and don't go looking for his family, just let him go like this!"
