While the body was being buried, a cheering sound of war horses was heard, and then, a white horse appeared in everyone's field of vision, with four hooves flying at an extremely fast speed.
"White-hoofed crow?"
Qin Huaidao recognized it at a glance as a war horse stored in the valley. He was overjoyed and hurried forward.
The white-tied crow screamed happily and rushed forward, stopped suddenly in front of Qin Huaidao, and hit Qin Huaidao with its head.
Qin Huaidao stroked the white hoofed crow, the anger in his heart lessened a little, and he said happily: "They all say that BMW is psychic. It is true, but you didn't leave. Did you stay here and wait for me to come back?"
The white-tied crow shouted happily, as if in reply.
"Well done, I've wronged you." Qin Huaidao was moved in his heart. He saw that Bai Tie Wu had wounds on his body, two of which had suppurated, and his body had lost a lot of weight. This showed that life had been difficult during this period. He couldn't help but stroke the wounds and said, "Like
It's a stab wound, don't worry, I will take care of it."
With that said, Qin Huaidao motioned for Bai Tiwu to follow him, and they walked towards the hillside one by one.
"It's actually a white-hooked black horse. What a good horse." Luo Ying looked at the man and the horse leaving and immediately sighed.
"That's a rare horse with blood in the world." Yuchi Baolin said enviously.
Luo Ying nodded, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think the Li family of Zhao County sent someone to pretend to be a pirate? I think it's nine out of ten, if you kill someone and you're not allowed to collect the body, what's the matter with the imperial court?"
People come to investigate, they are so cruel, they will not let anyone live in peace until death, I must avenge this hatred."
"The possibility is very high, but there is no direct evidence. What if it is not the case? You can't let the real murderer go just to vent your anger, right?" Yuchi Baolin said calmly.
"That's right, then find the evidence." Luo Ying nodded in agreement.
The two chatted for a while. When Qin Huaidao came back with some more herbs in his hand, Luo Ying went up to him and asked, "Uncle, do you need help?"
"Let's see if there's any liquor left."
"There's one more thing, I'll get it." Luo Ying agreed and ran to the ship.
"Help me light a fire." Qin Huaidao looked at Yuchi Baolin.
Yuchi Baolin quickly agreed and went to find flammable materials.
Not long after, a bonfire was lit, and Luo Ying also brought liquor. Qin Huaidao took out a claw knife and said to Bai Tiwu: "The wound will become suppurated. If not treated, it will worsen and lead to death. Next, I need to cut open the wound and squeeze it out."
For pus and blood, clean and disinfect it with white wine and then apply herbal medicine, it will be very painful."
"Xilulu!"
Baitiwu barked, shook his head, and snorted, as if to say it was okay.
Qin Huaidao understood the idea, touched Bai Ti Wu's forehead and smiled. He immediately stopped talking nonsense, placed the claw knife on the volcano to heat it, and then lightly scratched it. The wound opened and pus and blood overflowed. Qin Huaidao asked Luo Ying to help squeeze both sides of the wound.
, wash it with white wine after bleeding.
Bai Ti Wu knew it was for his own good, and his whole body was shaking with pain, but his limbs remained motionless. He turned his head and looked over, with a touch of human gratitude in his eyes.
After cleaning, he applied the herbal medicine and fixed it with a piece of cloth. Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief, touched the forehead of the white-tied crow again, and said: "It's a pity that you can't speak, otherwise you can tell me everything that happened here."
At this time, Zhao Yong came over in a hurry: "Sir, all the remains have been collected and are waiting to be buried. There are a total of 238 people. Should they be separated or all together?"
"The people buried it together, find a better place, and then help me purchase some food, fodder, cans and ten better carriages. Luo Ying, you bring some money and go with us to finish it. Baolin, guard the burning
Take it back with you, remember to pack it separately and give me a list later." Qin Huaidao warned, taking the white-tied crow to a small slope and sat down, looking in the direction of Chang'an and thinking.
Soon, Zhao Yong gave instructions to his subordinates and took Luo Ying to purchase. Yuchi Baolin took the people from Langying to burn the bones of the guards. The people were locals, so it was reasonable to bury them here. The guards were all brought by Yuchi Baolin from Chang'an.
Yes, of course we can't stay here.
An hour later, Luo Ying returned with the purchased supplies and brought some materials and some eggs to the white-tied crow, which the white-tied crow ate happily.
Yuchi Baolin brought people over to take away the clay pots to put the burned ashes, and handed Qin Huaidao a list of names. Qin Huaidao read it carefully and asked: "People died because of us. If we find their families, each family will be compensated with two hundred guan."
, you can handle this matter yourself, and I will take care of the guard’s compensation after I return to Chang’an.”
"It will definitely be very dangerous for you to go back. Try to show your face as little as possible and let my father handle it. They are all soldiers he has led and he is familiar with them." Yuchi Baolin reminded.
Qin Huaidao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Chang'an is too dangerous. Why don't you send someone there to investigate first?" Yuchi Baolin advised.
"No need to persuade me anymore, some things must be faced in person, not to mention that there are family members here, so I must go. You should handle the pension issue as soon as possible, purchase the necessary supplies, return to Jeju Island, and wait for news."
"Understood, I will guard the rear area of Jeju Island." Yuchi Baolin said solemnly.
The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Half an hour later, the ashes were loaded onto the carriage, each one's name was written to ensure there was no mistake, and the silver that had arrived was also loaded onto the carriage and put away.
The Japanese nation captured nearly 30 million taels of silver in the First World War, and shipped 10 million to Chang'an for use. The massacre in the valley made Qin Huaidao realize that things were out of control, so he only loaded 1 million taels into the truck and transported the rest back to Jeju Island.
It was already dusk, and the sunset was gathering.
The cool breeze blew, but it could not dispel the irritability in Qin Huaidao's heart.
The ten carriages slowly moved forward and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
…
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Hubei.
Cheng Yaojin strode over with a jar of wine, and was led to the study by his servants. Seeing the listless look of Chi Gong, the Duke of E, he signaled the servants to leave and said with a smile: "Old man, who are you showing this dejection to?
What? Isn’t it just that I should be dismissed from my job and reflect at home? I’m not the same.”
"Don't bother me, am I a man who is greedy for power?" Yu Chigong said impatiently.
"Then who are you showing your grimace to? Come on, drink!" Cheng Yaojin smiled nonchalantly, put a jar of wine on the table, looked around, found two pottery bowls, filled them, and picked up a bowl of wine.
Gu started to drink, and when he saw that Yuchi was still motionless, he smiled and said, "Are you thinking about the eldest son of yours?"
"Yes, I heard that we have gone to sea. Why go to sea? The sea is very windy and rough, and it is not as good as the flat land. What if there is..." Yu Chigong picked up the pottery bowl depressedly, drank it in one gulp, put it down and asked:
"Manshang, you, old guy, must be in trouble when you come to this house. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I'm worried that you won't be able to think about it, so I came here to drink with you to relieve your boredom. I don't know what's good and what's wrong." Cheng Yaojin cursed and looked at the door.
"If you fart, the people in my house know the rules. No one dares to come near here and eavesdrop."
Cheng Yaojin stood up and looked at the door uneasily. After making sure no one was there, he closed the door and lowered his voice and said: "The Holy Emperor obviously has some thoughts on taking back the military power. Although it will not kill us old guys, his attitude is firm."
, the meaning is also very clear, in my opinion, it is better to retreat,"
"Stop jabbering and get to the point. I don't understand you yet." Yu Chigong urged impatiently.
Cheng Yaojin smiled carelessly, they had been fighting and killing together for a lifetime, and they were too familiar with each other. He whispered: "The pharmacist asked me to inform you that the Holy Spirit will not touch us old people because of old feelings, but the Li family of Zhao County may not.
If there really is a conflict, the Holy One will definitely favor the Li family, and for the sake of the safety of the younger generation, he will recommend sending them out."
"Send it out?" Yu Chigong narrowed his eyes like a fierce tiger.
"Yes, send it out, at least don't stay in Chang'an. My two sons, one in Lingnan and the other in Goguryeo, have already sent people to deliver the message. The soldiers are hiding. The pharmacist's son Li Derjian, Xuanling's son Fang Yiai,
Li Daozhong's son, Li Jingren, hid himself and watched the situation, waiting for Huai Dao to come back before deciding. Your eldest son is not in Chang'an, but your younger son is, and he is an impulsive master.
Do it." Cheng Yaojin reminded in a low voice.
Yuchi Gong suddenly realized that none of the sons of the old guys around him were in Chang'an. He nodded knowingly and asked: "Among us, the pharmacist is the one with the smartest brain. I admire him the most. Do you want to tell me where to go?"
"Go to Qinjiazhuang secretly. Several old people are there. I hope everything will be fine with them. Xue Rengui and my son went to rescue He'er but have not returned. The guards at Qinjiazhuang are currently in disarray and need personal leadership."
"Okay, let's go then." Yu Chigong agreed.
Suddenly, a hurried voice came: "Sir, the young master had a fight with the children of the Lu family, and was thrown into the prison of the Criminal Department by the Qianniu Guards."
"What?" Yu Chigong opened his eyes suddenly and rushed forward like an angry tiger. He opened the door and shouted to the servant: "What's going on?"
"The young master and a few friends were drinking at Baihuafang. The young master of the Lu family, Lu Chengdong, came with some people. There was a verbal conflict. The young master became angry and struck first."
"This is a conspiracy." Cheng Yaojin's eyes flashed.
Yuchi Gong also sensed something was wrong and shouted: "I'm going into the palace to find the Holy Lord."
"Wait a minute, don't forget that you have been dismissed from your post and are at home." Cheng Yaojin grabbed Yu Chigong who was running away.
Yuchi Gong's face froze, his anger subsided like a tide, and a sense of sadness surged into his heart. His whole person instantly seemed much older, his body staggered, and he almost fell down.
Cheng Yaojin held him up, his face full of bitterness, and he felt as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.
