The burning pain in Zhao Jingyan's heart became even stronger.
He just slept for a while, but why are they all dead? Qingfeng is dead, Yanming is dead, Xiaokang is dead...
Well-off
Zhao Jingyan's eyes widened fiercely, "All ten of your brothers...are dead?"
A hot tear fell on the back of his hand, burning him terribly. The fire in the dream ignited fiercely in his heart.
Another tear fell.
Zhao Jingyan lay quietly, looking at the endless black, feeling an otherworldly trance. It turned out that everything she experienced in the dream was real.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Zhao Jingyan said calmly: "Tell me."
In the darkness, Sheng Fang felt sad.
"After the prince fainted, we continued on our way. In three days, we were chased five times, and even fire was used. We only had about twenty brothers left. I didn't see what was going on. At this rate, we would die on the road. So we planned to divide our forces into two groups.”
Sheng Fang was upset and couldn't speak.
He originally planned for him to pretend to be King Shou, but Xiaokang and the others were firmly opposed.
Seeing this, Qingfeng and Yanming immediately led a dozen secret guards, led the carriage on the main road, and acted as bait.
He and Xiaokang's ten brothers set out from the forest and took a small road to Yongle Town. Who would have thought that there would even be an ambush on the trail.
Xiaokang took off King Shou's clothes, put them on himself, and hid the two of them in a small hole in the hill.
Through the small hole, he looked at the yellow sand in the sky. The blood of his brothers dyed the forest red. After the wind and sand passed, it fell clean.
There was only the full moon hanging in the sky, watching coldly but silently.
Sheng Fang closed his eyes, tears still pouring from his eyes.
They followed him for ten years, going through life and death, sharing joys and sorrows, but they never thought that this battle would be lost.
"Whoever dies later should save his life and avenge his brothers."
"Place incense sticks for my brothers during the Qingming Festival and burn more paper money."
"Bring more spirits."
"I don't want strong liquor, I want to drink Li Ren drunk from Jiangnan."
"Hahaha... Li Ren is drunk, soft and soft, the same taste as the women from Jiangnan!"
The jokes in the past turned into prophecies. Sheng Fang's heart beat wildly and he let his tears flow.
"Your Majesty, I am keeping this life not just to survive, but also not for you. Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. One day, I will seek justice for them."
There were also the 30,000 Sheng family troops who were massacred.
Zhao Jingyan's heart was painfully pinched.
The prince conspired and the Qian and Sheng families were massacred. Although he was heartbroken, he thought that as long as his brother could survive, he would be lucky.
The elder brother was banned from eating fast food and chanting Buddha's words from then on, his heart was as gray as ashes. He didn't understand and often asked his brother why he suffered so much.
The elder brother said that whenever he thinks about those people who have followed him for many years but died in vain because of him, his heart aches. Only by kneeling before the Buddha can the sins of his life be washed away.
He still didn't understand that on the road to imperial power, people would always die and blood would be shed. Why should his brother, a noble prince, suffer for people like them
Later, when he saw Gu Qingwan, a prostitute, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid in order to avenge the Qian family, he seemed to have some understanding in his heart.
It's just that he still doesn't understand why he has so many obsessions as a human being. Once he has too many obsessions, he becomes obsessed and can no longer see other scenery in his eyes.
But now, these living people are fighting for themselves, bleeding for themselves, and sacrificing for themselves. They have parents, brothers, wives, and children. They abandon their homes and careers just to clear up the universe one day.
There was a buzzing in her ears, and Zhao Jingyan smiled silently with tears in the darkness.
After laughing, he spoke, "I swear on the surname Zhao that the Qian family, the Sheng family, your brothers, my soldiers, and Mr. Shi Ge, those who died for me and my brother, will never let their deaths be in vain. Go to hell. I’m going to rule this world.”
Two lines of tears welled up from the corners of Sheng Fang's eyes. He didn't speak, just sneered.
The words of superiors should never be believed. One general's achievements will last forever. The Sheng family was a strong warrior and a wolf. They did not die on the battlefield killing enemies for the country, but died in the hands of their own people.
His father's head was cut off and hung at the city gate. His body was covered with insects and ants, like a piece of dead wood.
He was a hero and he didn't deserve to die so miserably.
As for those princes and grandsons, who are still drinking wine and women, working hard to achieve power, who would care about the life and death of a general.
Even if the world is in his hands, so what? Can Xiaokang and the others come back from the dead? Sheng Fang lowered his head and allowed sadness to soak into his stone-like heart.
My heart felt cold.
The two of them were grieving themselves, and neither spoke anymore.
People who are surviving a disaster are always weak. They need time to lick their wounds and calm down.
Darkness is their covering.
I don’t know how long it took, but the air in the cave became thinner and thinner, and my breathing became a little short.
Sheng Fang's expression changed and he said, "Your Majesty, it's not easy to stay here for a long time. We have to find a way out."
No one answered him.
Sheng Fang immediately stood up and put his hand under his nose. It turned out that he had passed out and felt a little calmer.
He used his hands to dig open the mud blocking the door bit by bit. He looked up and saw a cold moon hanging high in the sky, but the bloody smell around him still lingered.
He quickly carried Zhao Jingyan on his back and headed south in the direction of the stars.
It's midsummer, the sun is scorching like fire,
After two days of riding in Qingguan, he was already like a fallen duck. When he got off the carriage, his legs were trembling, which made sisters Ye Qing and Ye Zi feel very distressed.
Set up camp at night and rest on the hillside.
Qing Guan ordered Ye Qing to fetch water, and Ye Zi held a lamp. When he took off his pants, he saw that the inner thighs were completely torn and bloody.
"Miss?" Ye Zi exclaimed.
Qingguan waved his hand towards her, calmly took out the alcohol from his bag and applied it on the wound bit by bit.
The pain in her heart made her take a deep breath. Immediately, she took out the ointment and asked Ye Qing to apply it for her.
"Qingguan, what happened?" Jiang Hongwen's voice sounded outside.
"Nothing!" Qingguan didn't want to be aggravated, "Go to bed early and we'll be on our way in three hours."
Jiang Hongwen stood outside the tent, his brows tightening.
It's not like he didn't notice the way she walked. For those who are riding for the first time, their inner thighs will turn blue after riding for half a day.
For two whole days and two nights, she was afraid that it would be worn out.
It's rare for a woman in a boudoir to endure such hardships, and she never even groaned. He was not a pity person, and he felt a little heartbroken when he looked at her.
Jiang Hongwen pinched his eyebrows irritably.
At this moment, the last thing he should do is to be sympathetic to the beauty, in case the other side of the pavilion... Thinking of this, worry flashed in Jiang Hongwen's eyes, and he didn't know if the secret guard who went to inquire had contacted him.
Suddenly a sound of lightning pierced the sky, followed by thunder.
Jiang Hongwen looked up at the sky, fearing that a thunderstorm was coming. He quickly transferred to the account and ordered people to put the horses in place.
After half a cup of tea, the rain started pouring down.
Listening to the rain outside, Qingguan felt inexplicably panicked and buried her head in Ye Qing's arms. When Ye Zi saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and covered the young lady's ears.
"Miss, don't be afraid!"
Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and Chen Ping came in dripping wet.
Ye Qing raised his eyes and said sternly: "Why did you come in? This is the lady's..."
Chen Ping wiped the rain off his face and said, "It's raining so hard that you can't see anyone even a few feet away. I went into the tent to protect the lady."
Ye Zi smiled and said: "You are too careful, please quickly wipe it with a towel."
"Thank you, Miss Ye Zi." Chen Ping said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a horse neighed across the sky.
Chen Ping's expression changed, and he secretly thought that something was wrong, and he said urgently: "Quickly, pack your things and evacuate quickly."
"Chen Ping, what happened?" Qingguan has not yet reacted.
"Miss, if the horse neighs, someone will attack the camp. I will carry you. Ye Qing, Ye Zi, you guys protect me."
At this moment, Jiang Hongwen rushed in and shouted: "Hurry up and get on your horse, someone is coming to kill you."
"Whoosh!"
The sound of arrows shot into the night sky, and the imperial guards and secret guards in the tent raised their swords to meet the killers who appeared like a tide on the rainy night.
Qingguan's feet softened and he shouted hurriedly: "There is no need to retreat, you can be smart. Ye Zi, take out the white porcelain bottle from my bag. Hongwen, quickly fall down the hillside, and then order our people to go "Go up"
Jiang Hongwen was stunned.
"Quick, don't waste a minute."
Chen Ping, who always believed in the young lady's words, snatched the two white porcelain bottles from Ye Qing's hands and rushed into the rainy night.
Jiang Hongwen stamped his feet and then rushed out.
After a moment, several screams mixed with thunder came into the tent. Qingguan let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Help me rest for a while."
She was really, really tired.
On a rainy night, the powder in the porcelain bottle fell to the ground and flowed down the hillside with the rainwater. It was colorless and odorless.
The rainwater flowed to the enemy's feet, and there happened to be a man in black who touched the ground with his hands. There was a "sizzle" sound, and the man in black fell to the ground in pain, wailing again and again.
Then, the wailing sounds came one after another, one after another.
Jiang Hongwen was overjoyed and said sternly, "Come here, please let me live. I want to see who is so bold as to want Master Qi to die!" "
When Qingguan opened his eyes again, the rain had stopped.
A few feet away, there was a shadow sitting upright, with its face hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Who is there?"
"It's me." Jiang Hongwen's voice was indescribably tired.
Qingguan breathed a sigh of relief, "What's going on outside?"
Jiang Hongwen touched his newly grown beard and asked instead, "What's in the porcelain bottle?"
Qingguan forced himself to sit up, his legs seemed to be pressed against someone else's body, and he couldn't even feel the pain.
"The poison was extracted from the most venomous Jiangnan water snake Zhuyeqing. Is there anyone left alive?"
"have!"
"Who wants to kill us?"
"you guess?"
Gu Qingguan was weak, "I can't guess, and I don't want to guess. However, you are sitting in my tent with a bitter look on your face. You must have a lot of background."
Jiang Hongwen smiled bitterly, "Hu people."
"Turk?" Gu Qingwan was really shocked. He immediately recalled the map in his mind and said seriously: "We have been traveling day and night for two days. We are still some distance away from Yongning Town. Further to the northwest are the Zhenxi Army and the Zhenbei Army. , How can the barbarians drive straight in?"
