"You want to kill Li Deming to avenge Bai Ze? Why?" Han Qing was inexplicably surprised, but she frowned and asked in a low voice.
In fact, as early as last winter, he learned the details of Bai Ze secretly gathering old and young people from the Red Lotus Sect and going to Xiazhou to "take refuge" through the prisoners' confessions.
However, most of the backbones of the Red Lotus Sect he came into contact with were corrupt officials and scum. Therefore, after Bai Ze's death, he did not think that those Red Lotus sects who fled to Xiazhou would be grateful for Bai Ze's help in the past.
, fight against injustice for her!
At this moment, when he heard Ye Qinglian personally say that he wanted to avenge Bai Ze, he could not easily believe that this person was telling the truth.
"You know what you're asking!" Ye Qinglian couldn't bear his attitude and became furious again. "If Bai Ze hadn't given everyone a way out last year, I don't know how many old, weak, women and children would have died at the hands of officers, soldiers and petty officials. Now she was given to Li Deming.
If you get killed, of course I can’t stay out of it.”
"What did you mean when you said you wanted to find a way out?" Han Qing did not argue with her and continued to investigate.
Based on his experience, when a believer of any religion reaches a certain level of piety, the "divinity" in him will overwhelm the "humanity".
They will regard the help and favor from the outside world as a gift from the gods, and will not be grateful to specific people. For those who do not believe in religion or hold different beliefs, they all want to kill them with their own hands.
Han Qing could not rule out that some backbones of the Red Lotus Sect still had their consciences intact. However, he would not easily believe that a sect would put all its members in danger just because they were grateful to Bai Ze for taking them in.
"Li Deming believed that it was the medical skills introduced from the Song Dynasty that killed his father. So he was angry with all the Han people living in Xiazhou. He ordered everyone to either leave Xiazhou within two months or automatically fall into slavery, regardless of gender.
Young and old." Knowing that it would not be easy to win Han Qing's trust, Ye Qinglian suppressed her anger and told the whole story about the conflict between the Red Lotus Sect and Li Deming.
When Han Qing heard this, his heart suddenly became clear, and then he shook his head with a wry smile.
Xiazhou is now obviously following the same path that many nomadic peoples who expanded rapidly in history have lost their direction of development in order to forcefully maintain their own traditions.
Tie Yaozi's repeated victories on the battlefield not only brought a large amount of land and wealth to Xiazhou, but also brought a large number of people to Xiazhou. Most of these people were Song people, that is, Han people in northwest China.
Compared with Dangxiang, who was still in a semi-slave society, the Central Plains culture brought by the Han people was definitely much more complex and advanced. Over time, the two cultures would have great conflicts.
Faced with this conflict, the party must be divided into two factions. One faction emphasizes the purity of its bloodline and original culture, while the other advocates actively absorbing the advanced aspects of Central Plains culture and reshaping itself.
Li Jiqian, who had been fighting with the Song Dynasty all the year round and knew how to give in when it was easy, knew the gap between Xiazhou and the Song Dynasty, so he would definitely lean towards the latter faction. And Li Dezhao, who was running around in the Song Dynasty all day long, was also responsible for spying on the Song Dynasty for a long time.
Bai Ze, who specializes in intelligence, is obviously a leading figure in the latter group.
However, Li Deming, who had been raised in Zhoucheng since he was a child and rarely went out, belonged to the former faction. Or he secretly formed an alliance with the former faction in order to compete for the position of heir.
Now, Li Jiqian died in confusion, and Li Dezhao was caught off guard again and fled in confusion. Among the rulers of Xiazhou, the former faction naturally has the upper hand.
The former group has the upper hand. In order to maintain the "nobility" of the bloodline, or the purity of Dangxiang's original culture, it is inevitable to issue official decrees to enslave the Han people on a large scale, or to forcibly change the Han people to Hu.
As far as he knew, in the history of another time and space, the Dangxiang characters, which were proud of having "twice as many strokes as Chinese characters," and the Mongolian characters that later disappeared from history, were all products of this policy.
The consequences of this policy all ended in failure. It only brought about a significant decline in national power and various disasters.
"What I said are all facts. If you don't believe me, you can call the guys in and ask them." Seeing that Han Qing just shook his head and sneered but said nothing, Ye Qinglian couldn't help but feel irritable, glared at him and emphasized in a low voice.
"Believe it, I believe it. I wasn't laughing at you just now, I was laughing at Li Deming for not knowing whether to live or die!" Han Qing quickly turned away from his thoughts, sighed first, and then nodded gently, "No need to ask, who knows there are some among the guys?
No one else’s spy? I believe you, and I can give you five hundred grenades. But my people will not leave with you."
"I'll go out and ask my master to arrange for someone to come get the grenade, and then I'll come back and be your hostage." Ye Qinglian suddenly took a deep breath, turned around, and ran straight to the door.
Before she could open the door, Han Qing was already chasing after her from behind, "Wait a minute, there's still some time before dark. You have a party member's armor on you, and you just went out to do something for me. Do it well.
Well, not only will I not hold you hostage, I will also send an additional fifty grenades to your master!"
"What's the matter?" Ye Qinglian personally used the Khitan envoy's head to verify the power of grenades. Hearing that she could earn fifty grenades by doing one thing for Han Qing, she decisively stopped.
"Wang Wu, the archer under my command, whom you have seen before. Now he is blocked by the party soldiers. You can find a way to bring him in to see me. If possible, help me get some sets of armor of the party soldiers." Han
Qing smiled and added lightly.
"I can help you get people in. But armor is not easy to get." Ye Qinglian thought for a while and agreed in a low voice. Then, she frowned and asked, "What do you want armor for? You just said, your people,
Won't you go out with us?"
"Like you, I want to seek justice for Bai Ze." Han Qing quickly put away his smile and told his plan in a serious manner.
"You came to Xiazhou to avenge Bai Ze?" Ye Qinglian immediately widened her eyes and asked in a low voice while looking at Han Qing.
"Otherwise, why should I disguise myself as a merchant? Nowadays, Xiazhou is still a territory of the Song Dynasty in name. As an official of the Song Dynasty, I came to pay homage to Li Jiqian, Duke of Xia. Even if Li Deming does not welcome me, he will treat me politely on the surface.
You're welcome!" Han Qing glanced back at her and explained with a sneer.
"Bai Ze, Bai Ze is the judge of the Feilong Division." Ye Qinglian still couldn't believe that Han Qing risked his life to come to Xiazhou just for Bai Ze. However, her intuition told her that Han Qing was not lying.
"Bai Ze has saved the lives of our husband and wife more than once from your master and apprentice. The first aid technique she brought back to Xiazhou was also copied to her by me." Han Qing sighed again and added in a low voice. "She
When she rescued me, she was already a judge of the Feilong Division. When I gave her the first-aid technique, I also knew that she wanted to bring it back to the party."
"This, this..." Ye Qinglian couldn't keep up with her thinking, and she kept making meaningless sounds.
She had personally experienced Bai Ze's many rescues of Han Qing and Dou Rong. And Han Qing gave her the impression that although evil is evil, there is a clear distinction between grudges and grudges.
From a moral perspective, it is not surprising that Bai Ze was killed and Han Qing traveled thousands of miles to avenge her. However, taking into account the official positions of both parties, it seems impossible no matter how you think about it.
The female judge of Feilong Division in Dangxiang was killed by the Dangxiang people themselves. The sentencing judge of Yongxing Military Road in the Song Dynasty didn't just clap his hands to express his happiness, but came to collect the blood debt for her! (Note: Ye Qinglian didn't know that Han Qing had been promoted.)
"I don't need your belief. I don't need your help. Once you deliver the armor, you and your master can hold grenades and just leave." Han Qing's words continued to ring in her ears, very slowly, but
Every sentence is very clear, "I will use the remaining grenades to blast all the way into Li Deming's palace, and use his blood to comfort Bai Ze's spirit in heaven."
After saying that, Han Qing grabbed Ye Qinglian's weapon and handed the hilt to the opponent's hand with his own hands. Then he patiently waited for the opponent's latest response.
He knew he was gambling.
Bet that in Ye Qinglian, humanity is still higher than divinity for the time being. Bet that this woman with seven or eight faces has not lost her conscience.
This decision was made very hastily.
However, given the current situation, even if he loses the bet, the trouble he faces will not become greater.
Fortunately, he won the bet.
After seven or eight finger snaps, Ye Qinglian took the steel knife and slowly inserted it into the scabbard at her waist, "I will help you bring Wang Wu back first, and then let my master take the people away. I will accompany you to avenge Bai Ze.
"
"Okay!" A sincere smile immediately broke out on Han Qing's face, and she simply raised her right hand.
Ye Qinglian gritted her teeth and high-fived him. At the same time, she solemnly declared: "After I kill Li Deming and send you away from Xiazhou, I will seek revenge on you. The debt between the two of us is one for the other!"
