Chapter 695

As night fell, in the south of Zhuxian Town, nearby government servants gathered on the river bank. In the light of the torches, blood-red colors floated down from the upper reaches, followed by corpses one after another.

On the side of the road not far away, there were residents and pedestrians nearby in twos and threes. Seeing this scene, most of them panicked.

Up to this time, not many people knew what happened to the north, but in the evening, some people had seen bloody figures riding past.The yamen servants from a small place nearby came over, and seeing the scene in the water, they were terrified for a while.

This is the only time I have seen such a scene in the capital city of Gyeonggi, and it was not long ago.When the Jurchens came to kill them last fall, the water in this river was also red, but the Jurchens have only left for a short time... Could it be that they came back again?

All of a sudden, there was a small commotion nearby.

……

In the sky, the last embers of the setting sun are gone, and the wilderness is filled with bloody smell.

In the black outline, sometimes there is a sound of * * *, and when Chen Jianyu sits up from the ground in a daze, his hands are sticky. It is something that flows out of a nearby corpse—I don’t know which part of the internal organs it is. .

Severe pain came to his head, and his body trembled, "Heh, heh..." twice, it was not a laugh, but a suppressed cry.

Dead bodies were scattered all around.

Even the heroes of the green forest who have traveled the rivers and lakes and killed for a long time may not have seen such a scene - he had heard similar ones before - when the Jurchens came, the battlefield really became a field of Shura.He was able to make a great name in the green forest, and he had experienced many killing battles, and he had seen quite a few dead people, but he had never seen anything like this.When he heard about the scene of the battle with the Jurchens on the battlefield, he couldn't figure out the scene clearly, but now, he can imagine it a little.

People in the green forest walk in the rivers and lakes and have their own way. Selling to the emperor's family is the same way, and not getting involved in official affairs is the same way.No matter how powerful a person is, he is unstoppable when he encounters the army. This is a consensus shared by ordinary people, but the cognition of being unstoppable is completely different from the feeling of actually facing the army one day.

When he saw the pale man on the hill, Chen Jianyu thought in his heart, should he find an excuse to challenge him first.That great monk is called number one in the world, his martial arts may be really good, but since he debuted, he has never been afraid of anyone.If you want to walk the narrow road and become famous, you have to fight hard, not to mention that the other party may not be able to do anything to you if you maintain your identity.

Then Qianqi stood out, and the front of the soldiers surged like a huge wave.

Even the number one in the world had no choice but to run away in the crowd, and the rest of them were sucked in by the wave of killing one after another. In that moment, the night wind that filled the air seemed to be sticky!People were constantly being drawn in from the rear, screams resounded through the dusk, and some who could not escape and wanted to turn around to fight, were knocked away by galloping horses before they could finish their sentences.On the other side of the field of vision, there were even a group of people who came in a hurry after seeing the fireworks. They stared dumbfounded for a moment, and then joined the fleeing crowd.

He was knocked into the air by a galloping horse, and then passed out by the hooves of the horse.The running cavalry only stepped on him twice, and the injuries were all on the left thigh. Now that the leg bones are broken and the tentacles are bloody, he knows that he is useless.Crying out of his mouth, he struggled to straighten his legs.Not far away, there was also faint crying.

Those who came here at this time were all Jiang Hu men, and Jiang Hu heroes would not shed their tears lightly. If it was not for the extreme pain, grief, and powerlessness, they would not have heard such voices.

For the fights in the rivers and lakes, even the fights in the arena, all kinds of accidents, they have already foreseen, and most of them are psychologically prepared for what happens.Only today, people like myself are really coerced into it.A fight like this, to put it lightly, they are just bystanders, to put it more deeply, everyone wants to be famous, but there is no time to do anything.The leader of the Great Brightness came up with the congregation, and the opponent blocked it. Even if the two sides fought hard, the fight would continue.

However, there is nothing, so many people, there is no way out.

It might be the same for the great light leader, this is really not a game at their level.The number one pair in the world faced such a battle, and they could only run away at the first moment.Thinking back to the pale young man, and thinking back to the provocation that came to the door a few days ago, Chen Jianyu felt very annoyed.But he didn't understand, it was just such a thing, and people like himself went to Beijing to fight for fame and status, even if they offended someone for a while, why did they have to end up like this...

The spot of light flickered, and the crying person not far away waved his hand to open the torch, and the light gradually brightened, illuminating the blood-stained face, and faintly illuminating a small circle around him.Chen Jianyu looked at the light here, wanted to speak for a while, but heard a puff, and a flying arrow pierced into the chest of the figure in the light circle.The man fell down, and the torch fell to the ground. It was turned on and off several times, and finally went out.

In the distance, the figure of the horse walked a few steps silently 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 were faint figures waiting quietly, ready to shoot the survivors or the people who came to collect the corpses.

To the north, the main formation of the cavalry has long been far away on the way back to the barracks.A group of people dragged a simple cart through Zhuxian Town. Ning Yi walked in the crowd, and there was an old man's body in the cart.

The starlight in the sky was dim, looking around, surrounded by the land of Bianliang, several chief arresters rushed back to Bianliang city, but there was still a group of people following them.It doesn't matter anymore.

In the surrounding fields and hills, there are figures crouching 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 in the entire upper floor was already tense, and the mountain rain was about to come, and it was about to explode.

*****************

Tong Guan had already lost his temper twice in the mansion, and when the servants ran in, they were preparing for him to lose his temper for the third time, but such a scene didn't happen immediately.

"...Qin, Qin Yuyuan is - already dead."

Even a servant from the army took some effort to finish this sentence. Holding a pair of iron gallbladders in his hands, Tong Guan stopped turning and blinked his eyes.He obviously could have expected this, but after it was confirmed, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he breathed out, and the words were not high: "Dead? Killed by that Lin Zongwu?"

"Go back to the prince, no, he committed suicide by taking poison with his monogamous wife and concubine."

"Suicide." Tong Guan repeated, and after a while, he said, "Then what happened to his son, where is Qin Shaoqian?"

The servant answered the question.Hearing the answer, Tong Guan nodded slowly, he walked to the side, and sat on a chair, "Old Qin, this person is really... always in a good mood, but in the end... he was kind, without any resistance... ..."

But he also knew in his heart that it was because Qin Yuyuan blocked his own way out in a series of aggressive actions.Just as he was about to sigh a few words, another person hurried in.

"Report! General Han Jinghan has entered the city!"

"Oh, he has entered the city, where are his soldiers?"

"I heard that on the way back to the barracks."

Tong Guan pursed his lips lightly, and frowned: "...he still dares to go back to the city." Then he sighed slightly, and the expression between his brows became even more complicated.

"General Han went directly to the palace, and it is said that he personally asked the Holy Majesty for his sin."

"Understood." Tong Guan put down the two iron gallbladders in his hands, stood up, and seemed to be talking to himself, "I'm back... Really... Can't the Holy One kill him..."

Tong Guan's reaction was the most annoyed after hearing the news that the Luliang Rebel Army was dispatched.Although he is a general, he has been in command over the years and often loses his temper, but some of his anger is fake, but this time it is real.But after hearing that the cavalry team had returned, his tone became obviously complicated.At this time, Tan Zhen, Li Bingwen and others had all entered the palace, and he was no longer in charge of the army in name. After a while, he went out to walk in the garden with a complicated expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In the palace, Zhou Zhe looked up from behind the desk, looking at Han Jing who was kneeling below.

"Do you think I can't kill you?"

"Your Majesty knows that if you are guilty, you will die. Please forgive me and give you death."

Zhou Zhe frowned, and stood up. He had strode in from the outside of the hall just now, sat behind the desk and buried himself in a paperwork before he began to speak. At this time, he came out from behind the desk again, pointing at Han Jing, 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 have a half-word of excuse.To kill, or not to kill, that is the question.

"You." His tone was suppressed, "tell me the whole thing clearly!"

"I know that I have committed a crime and failed Your Majesty. This matter is related to military law. Han Jing does not want to be a sophistry and evasion, but this matter only concerns Han Jing. I hope that His Majesty will think of his meritorious service in the Luliang cavalry guarding the city. He will only kill Han Jing." one person!"

"You're a bachelor!" Zhou Zhe then yelled, "You have meritorious service in defending the city, are you taking credit to blackmail me—say! It's up to me to kill you or not, and I need to know now what happened !"

Han Jing knelt down, silent for a while: "I waited for the Luliang people to go out of the camp this time, only to kill for personal revenge."

"Okay, one death penalty!" Zhou Zhe said.

"We are waiting to kill Lin Zongwu, the leader of the Great Light."

"Hmph." Zhou Zhe snorted softly, "I've heard of this person before. How big is he with you? Do you want you to kill them all!?"

Han Jing fell silent again, and after a while, he opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, you know what kind of life we ​​lived waiting for the Luliang people."

"...Deep mountains and old forests, the land is barren, and there are not many things that can be harvested. I am waiting near Yanmen Pass, which is at the border. The Liao people harvest grass and valleys every year. When they come here, people will die. Not only dead people, but also The food that is not enough to eat has to be robbed by others. From childhood to adulthood, I have seen people around me freeze to death, starve to death, or be killed by others. Your Majesty, Han Jing has committed all kinds of crimes in his life in the past few decades. I have killed people. I have eaten people when I was hungry. People in Luliang Mountain were not only killed by people outside, but people inside also killed each other, because there was only so little food, and no one died, so how could they feed the living? It is said outside, happy and joyful on the banks of the Fen River, hustle and bustle to the southeast of Shanxi, weeping and weeping at Lvliang Mountain, and death is no more than Yanmen Pass. Your Majesty, the minister’s mother was starved to death. When people are about to starve to death, they actually cry and cry Can't come out..."

"Okay." Hearing these words slowly spoken by Han Jing, he frowned and waved his hands, "What does this have to do with you going out to seek revenge without permission!"

Han Jing paused: "Lvliangshan gradually got better after having the head of the family. The head of the house is a girl, running around for the sake of living people, persuading us to unite and do business with the surroundings, and finally revitalized a whole family. The stockade. Your Majesty, that’s what it sounds like. However, only we know the hardships and hardships. I have done illegal things, and I have done business with the Liao people, and sold some ceramic calligraphy and paintings, just for some food..."

"I'm afraid I have also transported ironware." Zhou Zhe said.

"There are not many iron wares in the mountains. For self-defense, we kept what we could. This is the foundation of our life. Without it, we can't live without food. Moreover, what I hate the most is the Liao people. Every year Fighting Caogu, countless companions died under the hands of the Liao people. The master of the family also died to assassinate the generals of the Liao people. It is also because of this that later His Majesty presided over the expedition against the Liao people. Everyone in the village clapped their hands and cheered. With the military system, it is also for the convenience of buying food from the outside world. But I never forget these things, and later I heard that the Jurchen went south, and with the support of the elders in the village, we went south together."

"...It's not easy for you either." Zhou Zhe nodded and said something.

"In the deserted mountains, it's not easy to live. Everyone in Qingmu Village remembers the kindness of the head of the family. Although she is a girl, to us, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is like giving birth to my parents and raising my parents. Two years later, Lin Zongwu came to the mountain and said that he wanted to do business with us. We naturally welcomed him. Later, he wanted to take over the power of Luliang Mountain. He relied on his martial arts skills to compete with the master. Actually, we live in the mountains. Fighting on the battlefield and wielding swords for our lives are just normal things, and if we risk our lives, it’s only due to fate. But when the days are better, how can we let the big master go to fight for our lives again.”

Zhou Zhe said: "It's not bad for you to think so. What happened next?"

"I waited to dissuade you, but the master decided to take action for the sake of talking about the matter so that everyone would not be forced too much." Han Jing knelt there and took a deep breath, "The monk used despicable means to make the master vomit blood , and then left. Your Majesty, this matter is a great disgrace to Qingmu Village. Therefore, if he appears today, we will kill him. But I know that it is a serious crime for the army to leave the camp without permission, and I do not regret killing that Monk, I only regret that I have failed His Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to punish you."

The imperial study room became quiet, Zhou Zhe put his hands behind his back, thoughts flickered in his eyes, he was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Han Jing.

Suddenly asked: "This... is it Ning Yi and Ning Liheng who taught you?"

　It's this time again...
