When night fell, to the south of Zhuxian Town, there were nearby yamen officers gathering on the river bank. In the light of the torches, the blood-red color floated down from the upstream, and then there were corpses one after another.
On the side of the road not far away, there were also residents and pedestrians nearby in twos and threes. Seeing this scene, most of them panicked.
By this time, not many people knew what happened to the north, but in the evening, someone had seen a bloody figure riding past. The yamen from the nearby small place came over and was shocked for a while when he saw the scene in the water.
This is the only time I have seen such a scene in Gyeonggi, and it was not too long ago. When the Jurchen killed last fall, the water in this river was also red, but this Jurchen has not left long... Could it be that he has come back again
For a while, there was a small commotion nearby.
…
On the horizon, the last embers of the sunset are gone, and the wilderness is filled with blood.
From the black outline, there would sometimes be a sound of **. When Chen Jianyu sat up dazedly from the ground, his hands were sticky. It was something that flowed out of the nearby corpse. I don't know which part of the internal organs.
Severe pain entered his head, and his body trembled, "Heh, heh..." It was not a laugh, but a suppressed cry.
There were corpses scattered all around.
Even a green forest hero who has traveled the rivers and lakes and has been killing for a long time, may not have seen such a scene. He had heard a similar Jurchen before, and the battlefield was really killed in the Shura field. He was able to make a big name among the green forests, he had experienced killing formations, and he had seen quite a few dead people, but he had never seen anything like this before. When I heard about the scene on the battlefield where I fought with the Jurchen. He couldn't imagine that scene, but at the moment, he could figure it out.
Green forest people walk the rivers and lakes, have their own way, selling and the emperor's family is one way. It is also a way to avoid official affairs. No matter how powerful a person is, when he encounters the army, he can't stop it. This is a consensus that ordinary people can have, but the unstoppable cognition is the same as the feeling of facing the army one day. are quite different.
Seeing the pale man on the hill, Chen Jianyu thought about whether he should find an excuse and challenge him first. That great monk is called the best in the world, and his martial arts may be really powerful. But since his debut, he has never been afraid of anyone. If you want to take a narrow path and become famous, you have to fight hard, not to mention that the other party holds his own identity, and he may not be able to do anything to himself.
Then the thousand cavalry stood out, and the soldiers rushed like a huge wave.
Even if he is number one in the world, he has to run away in the crowd. The rest of the people were successively involved in the wave of killing, in that moment. The night wind that filled the air seemed to be sticky! People in the rear were constantly involved, screams resounded through the dusk, and there were also people who saw that they couldn't escape and wanted to turn around and fight. On the other side of the field of vision, there were even people who hurried over after seeing the fireworks Lingjian. After watching for a moment in stunned silence, he joined the fleeing crowd.
He was hit by a galloping horse. Then he was stunned by a horse's hoof. The running cavalry only stepped on him twice, and the injuries were both on the left thigh. Now that his leg bones are broken and his tentacles are bloody, he understands that he is a cripple. Crying came out of his mouth, and he struggled to straighten his legs. Not far away, there was also a faint cry.
At this time, they are all men from the rivers and lakes. The heroes of the rivers and lakes do not cry easily. If it is not just pain, grief, and powerlessness to the extreme, I would not have heard such a voice.
For the fights on the rivers and lakes, and even the right placement in the arena, they had already anticipated all kinds of accidents, and they were mostly psychologically prepared for what happened. Only today, people like myself, are really being coerced into it. In such a battle of rivers and lakes, if you say it shallowly, they are just bystanders. If you say it more deeply, everyone wants to be famous, but it is too late to do anything. The leader of Daguangming brought the congregation up, and the other side blocked, even if the two sides were in a big fight, the firefight would be a firefight.
However, there is nothing, so many people, there is no way to live.
Perhaps the same is true for the Great Bright Sect Master, this is really not a game at their level. The world's number one pair is in such a battle, and the first time they can only escape. Thinking back to the pale young man and the provocation that came to the door a few days earlier, Chen Jianyu felt a lot of annoyance in his heart. But he doesn't understand, it's just such a thing, and the people like him go to Beijing, it's just to gain a reputation and status, even if someone is provoked for a while, why should there be such an end...
The spot of light flickered, and the crying man not far away waved his hand to open the fire book, and the light gradually lit up, illuminating the blood-stained face, and lightly illuminating a small circle around him. Chen Jianyu looked at the light from here, and wanted to speak for a while, but he heard a pop, and a flying arrow plunged into the chest of the figure in the light. The man fell, and the fire zhezi fell to the ground.
In the distance, the figure of the horse walked silently a few steps in the darkness. The ranger named Yuwen Feidu watched the light go out, and then pulled out an arrow from behind with his backhand and put it on the bowstring.
In the darkness, there are still vague figures waiting quietly, preparing to shoot the survivors or those who came to collect the corpses.
To the north, the cavalry's cavalry's main formation was already far away on the way back to the barracks. A group of people dragged a rudimentary cart and passed through Zhuxian Town. Ning Yi was walking in the crowd with an old man's body in the car.
The stars in the sky are dim, and you look around. The surrounding is the land of Bianliang. Several generals hurried back to the city of Bianliang, but there is a group of people next to them. None of this matters.
In the surrounding fields and hills, there are figures lying in the dark, watching from a distance, or running along for a while, and after a while, they disappear into the original darkness.
Bianliang City. All kinds of news came, and the atmosphere of the whole upper floor was already tense, and the rain was about to come, and it was about to explode.
****************
When Tong Guan was in the mansion, he had already lost his temper twice. When the servant ran in, he was preparing to lose his temper for the third time, but there was no such scene.
"... Qin, Qin Siyuan are already dead."
Even the servant from the army took some effort to finish this sentence, Tong Guan held a pair of iron galleries in his hands. He stopped turning and blinked his eyes. He could obviously have expected this, but after the fact was confirmed, it left him stunned for a moment.
Then he sighed, and his words were not high: "Dead? Killed by that Lin Zongwu?"
"Go back to the prince. No, he and his wife and concubines committed suicide by taking poison."
"Suicide." Tong Guan repeated it, and after a while, he said, "Then what happened to his son. What about Qin Shaoqian?"
The next person answered this question. Hearing the answer, Tong Guan nodded slowly. He walked to the side and sat on the chair, "Old Qin. This person is really... always good at it, but in the end... he was kind and didn't resist... "
But he also knew in his heart that this was because Qin Siyuan blocked his own way back in a series of extreme actions. Just as he was about to sigh a few words, someone hurried in.
"Report! General Han Jinghan has entered the city!"
"Oh, in the city, where are his soldiers?"
"I heard that on the way back to the military camp."
Tong Guan pursed his lips lightly. He frowned: "...he dares to go back to the city." Then he sighed slightly, and the expression between his brows was even more complicated.
"General Han went directly to the palace. It is said that he personally pleaded guilty to the saint."
"Understood." Tong Guan put down the two iron guts in his hands. Standing up, he seemed to be muttering to himself, "I'm back... Really... Can't you kill him as a saint..."
After hearing the news that Lu Liang Yijun was dispatched, Tong Guan's reaction was the most annoyed. Although he is a military general, he has often lost his temper in command of the army over the years. But some of the anger was fake, this time it was real. But after I heard that the cavalry came back. His tone was obviously complicated. At this time, Tan Zhen, Li Bingwen and others had already entered the palace, and he was no longer in charge of the army in name. After a while, he went straight out of the garden to walk around, his expression was complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
In the palace, Zhou Zhe looked up from behind the desk and looked at Han Jing who was kneeling below.
"Do you think I can't kill you?"
"I know that I will die if I'm guilty, please forgive me and give me death."
Zhou Zhe frowned and stood up. He just strode in from outside the hall, sat behind the desk and immersed himself in processing a document before he started to speak. At this time, he came out from behind the desk and pointed at Han Jing, his eyes full of eyes. It was anger, his fingers trembled, and his mouth opened twice.
He didn't expect that the other party didn't even have a word of defense. To kill, or not to kill, that is the question.
"You." His tone was suppressed, "Tell me the whole thing!"
"I know that I am guilty, and I have failed Your Majesty. This matter is about military law, and Han Jing is unwilling to be a sophistry and excuse, but this matter only concerns Han Jing alone. I hope that Your Majesty's merit in protecting the city with Luliang's cavalry will only grant Han Jing's death. one person!"
"You're a bachelor!" Zhou Zhe then roared, "You have merit in protecting the city, so you are taking credit to blackmail me! Killing you or not is my business, and I need to know now what happened!"
Han Jing knelt down and was silent for a while: "I'm waiting for the Lu Liang people to leave the camp this time, only to kill for personal vendettas."
"Okay, one death penalty!" Zhou Zhe said.
"I'm waiting to kill Lin Zongwu, the leader of the Great Light."
"Hmph." Zhou Zhe snorted softly, "I have heard of this person. How big of a pair he is with Er et al. I want you to kill them all!?"
Han Jing fell silent again. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty knows, what kind of life I have been waiting for Luliang people."
"...In the deep mountains and old forests, the land is barren, and there are not many things that can be planted. I am waiting near Yanmen Pass, right on the border. The Liao people hit the grassy valley every year. The food to eat has to be taken away. From childhood to adulthood, I have seen people around me freeze to death, starve to death, and get killed. Your Majesty, Han Jing has done all kinds of evil in the past few decades. They have killed people and eaten people when they were hungry. People in Luliang Mountain were not only killed by outsiders, but also by those inside, because there was only so little food, no one would die, how could one feed a living person. It is said outside that, Huan Huan Xi Xi Fen River, gather together Hu Hu Hu South East Jin, weeping and crying Luliang Mountain, death can not be reached at Yanmen Pass. Your Majesty, the mother of the minister was starved to death, when people are dying of starvation, they actually cry and cry. from… "
"Okay." Hearing what Han Jing said slowly, he frowned and waved his hand, "What does this have to do with Er et al going out to seek revenge!"
Han Jing paused: "Lu Liangshan, she only got better after she had a big boss. The big boss was a girl. She ran around for the sake of living, persuaded me to join up and do business with the surrounding people, and finally revitalized one. Zhaizi. Your Majesty, this is what I said. However, the hardships and hardships involved are only known to me. The hardships experienced by the master family are not just life and death. I have done illegal things, I have done business with the Liao people, and shipped some ceramic calligraphy and paintings to sell, just for some food..."
"I'm afraid I've also transported iron tools." Zhou Zhe said.
"There are not many iron tools in the mountains. For self-defense, we have kept everything we can. This is the foundation of our life. Without food, we can't live. Moreover, the people I hate the most are the Liao people. Every year In the grass valley, there are countless companions who died under the Liao people. The master of the big family also died to assassinate the Liao generals. It is also for this reason that later His Majesty presided over the expedition of Liao, and everyone in the village applauded. With the military system, it is also to make it easier to buy food from the outside world. But these things, I waited and forgot all the time. Later, I heard that the Jurchen went south, and with the support of the elders in the village, I waited and went south together. "
"...It's not easy for you either." Zhou Zhe nodded and said something.
"In the remote mountains and fields, it is not easy to live, and everyone in Qingmu Village will remember the kindness of the big family in their hearts. Although she is a girl, for me, it is not too exaggerated to say that it is like giving birth to my parents and raising my parents. Two years later, Lin Zongwu came to the mountains and said that he wanted to do business with us. I naturally welcomed him, but later he wanted to take the power of Lu Liangshan. He relied on his martial arts skills and wanted to compete with the masters. In fact, I lived in the mountains. Fighting on the battlefield, using the sword to survive, is just a common thing, if you take your life, it is only fate. However, when the days are better, how can you let the boss fight for me again. "
Zhou Zhe said, "It's not bad for you to think so. What about later?"
"I'm waiting to dissuade me, but for the sake of discussing the matter, everyone decided to take action." Han Jing knelt there and took a deep breath, "The monk used a despicable method, causing the master to be injured and vomit blood. , and then left. Your Majesty, this matter is a great shame for Qingmu Village. Therefore, when he appears today, we will kill him. But I know that it is a big crime for the army to leave the camp without permission, and I do not regret killing him. Monk, I only regret that I failed Your Majesty, please forgive me."
The imperial study was quiet, Zhou Zhe had his hands on his back, thoughts flashed in his eyes, he was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Han Jing.
He asked suddenly: "This... was Ning Yi and Ning Liheng taught you to say this?" ()
ps: it's this time again...
