Zhang Xutang huddled alone in the room, knowing that he was bound to die, and pinned all the hopes of the Zhang family on Zhang Zihou.
Zhang Zihou will grow up one day, and he will know which Zhang he is, and he will start over again with the blood of the Zhang family.
The lights were on in the yard, and there was laughter again. When the midnight alarm sounded, Song Huiyue opened the door of the west wing, and the lights flowed in. Zhang Xutang half-opened his eyes and took a look at the scene outside.
The small courtyard outside reminded him of the Song family he first met in Tanzhou.
Small and shabby.
Narrowing his eyes, he looked at Yin Xiao and Li Jun behind Song Huiyue. Both of them were dressed in soapy brown shorts, as if they were going on a long trip. Zhang Zihou and Tian Jiguang stood behind, still young and immature.
He looked like a man and yawned hugely.
Song Huiyue waved to Zhang Xutang: "Get up and let's go."
"Where to go?" Zhang Xutang stood up holding on to the wall, fully prepared for death.
Song Huiyue smiled and said: "Hell."
Yin Xiao stepped forward and took Zhang Xutang out. There was a carriage parked outside the door. Zhang Xutang took a look at the world after Jin Shang's death.
Eyes full of whites.
Yin Xiao stuffed him into the carriage and sandwiched him with Song Huiyue. Li Jun drove the carriage, and Tian Jiguang and Zhang Zihou rode behind.
As the carriage passed through the streets, Song Huiyue lifted the curtains on the carriage window so that Zhang Xutang could take a look outside.
The carriage passed by the sealed Zhang family and Prince Yan's Mansion, and passed by the Prince Jin's Mansion that had become a dormitory. All the victories and defeats were clearly laid out in front of Zhang Xutang.
Zhang Xutang smiled: "Song Huiyue, do you think such a failure can completely defeat me?"
This smile was very forced. He lowered his head, pursed his lips into a straight line, and said after a moment: "In my whole life, I have done whatever I want, and I have grabbed all the princes of the day and flattened them into balls. There is nothing to say, but
Zhang Zihou, he is still young, please let him go."
Song Huiyue nodded: "Of course, I will treat him well."
Hearing Song Huiyue's words, he immediately felt relieved - Song Huiyue's promise was truly a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold.
The carriage swayed out of the city and arrived at the mass grave in the dark.
The carriage disturbed the wild dogs, and more than a dozen wild dogs ran away, howling low, staring closely at the carriage in the dark. There were corpses dug up by the wild dogs on the ground, half of their bodies still wrapped in broken straw mats.
The unburnt corpses are food for wild dogs.
Yin Xiao pulled Zhang Xutang off the carriage, Tian Jiguang also got off the horse, took Zhang Zihou to avoid the corpse, and walked to Song Huiyue.
Song Huiyue said to Zhang Zihou: "Say goodbye to your second uncle, we are going to send your second uncle away from Kyoto."
Zhang Zihou stepped forward ignorantly, looked at Zhang Xutang, and whispered: "Second uncle..."
Zhang Xutang nodded with a smile: "Good boy, don't forget your second uncle."
Song Huiyue smiled, knelt down and looked into Zhang Zihou's eyes: "Good boy, what will you be called in the future?"
Zhang Zihou replied softly: "Thank you, thank you Zihou."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xutang was suddenly startled, and his originally peaceful face suddenly turned ferocious: "Zhang Zihou!"
Zhang Zihou shivered suddenly and hid behind Song Huiyue in fear.
Song Huiyue sneered: "Zhang Xutang, his surname is Zhang now, but it is a matter of life and death. In order to keep him alive, it is better not to have the surname Zhang."
Zhang Xutang's eyes widened when he heard this: "Fart, what kind of life will he have for such a young child? Zhang Zihou, if you dare to give your last name Xie, I will kill you now!"
He suddenly gained strength, picked up a white bone from the ground, and threw it at Zhang Zihou.
Song Huiyue carried Zhang Zihou and retreated. The bones fell to the ground with a "bang" sound, and the stones and bones flew away. Zhang Zihou covered his face and let out an ouch, and blood suddenly appeared on his hands.
Yin Xiao strode forward and pushed Zhang Xutang to the ground with one hand.
"Zhang Zihou! Your surname is Zhang! You are from our Zhang family, did you hear?"
Zhang Xutang turned around in panic, wanting Zhang Zihou to carve the word "Zhang" into his heart. However, Zhang Zihou was frightened and did not even dare to raise his head. He could only cover his face and tremble.
Blood dripped down his fingers and fell to the ground.
Amidst Zhang Xutang's roar, Zhang Zihou suddenly raised his head and cried loudly: "I don't want my surname to be Zhang! I don't want your second uncle! I want my surname to be Xie. Any surname will do, but I don't want my surname to be Zhang!"
Zhang Xutang is like a devil, bringing him only blood and darkness. He envies Ajiu of the Xie family and wants to stay with the Song family. He doesn't understand how important the surname is, let alone the burden that comes with the surname Zhang.
He only knows that the surname Zhang is not good.
He didn't want to see the "puppy" raised in the cellar, he didn't want to eat next to the corpse, and he didn't like to kill someone with a knife.
If he could get rid of this kind of life by not having a surname of Zhang, he doesn't have to have a surname of Zhang.
"Zhang Zihou!" Zhang Xutang shouted heartbreakingly, cold sweat breaking out from behind, "Don't be confused... We are the Zhang family, you must remember that you are the Zhang family..."
His voice was filled with pleading cry - Song Huiyue, this move is really cruel.
"You, Weng Weng, were once the chief minister, and the Zhang family was the Zhang family with all the power in the world! How could you abandon your own family..."
There was a burst of suffocation in his chest, and he began to cough earth-shatteringly. His pale face turned purple, and his chest heaved violently, but the coughing sound was very hollow.
He wanted to struggle out from under Yin Xiao's hand and pull Zhang Zihou back to him. However, Yin Xiao was so powerful that he could only keep squirming and looked up at Zhang Zihou amidst continuous coughing.
Tian Jiguang had already climbed onto the horse with Zhang Zihou in his arms, and rode away at Song Huiyue's instructions.
"Zhang Zihou!"
Zhang Xutang howled at the top of his lungs, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and his eyes were bulging and bloodshot.
Despair swept over him.
Zhang Zihou is too young. Once he changes his surname, he will forget where he was born, and the Zhang family will be completely wiped out.
"I'll do it." Song Huiyue took out the sharp knife and took a step forward.
Yin Xiao lifted Zhang Xutang up and asked him to stand firm facing Song Huiyue. As long as Song Huiyue raised her hand, the knife would pierce Zhang Xutang's heart.
However, before she could take action, Zhang Xutang suddenly opened his mouth and bit off his tongue with all his strength - he would not die in the hands of others!
Under the tremendous force, blood spurted out from his mouth and splashed all over Song Huiyue's face.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it forward with all his strength, trying to grab Song Huiyue's hand. He stretched his hand in front of her, and then dropped it with all his strength.
Yin Xiao let go, and Zhang Xutang's body staggered and fell down, with a smile on his face.
He died in his own hands and was defeated in his own hands.
Song Huiyue took out her handkerchief, wiped her face roughly, stared at Zhang Xutang's body, then turned and left: "Go home."
As soon as the carriage left, the wild dogs hiding in the dark jumped out at the smell of blood and began to bite the unchecked corpse wantonly.
