Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-Seven [Buying in the Earth for Safety] (Part 2)
Xiong Anmin sighed sadly. The surviving warriors heard that Dayong was going to incinerate the bodies of their companions on the spot, and they all sighed sadly. But what could they do in their military camp now? Hu Xiaotian looked at the body.
The Dayong side was unwilling to provide them with land for burial, and they also refused to lend them a boat to send the body back. Even if they lent them a boat, the situation in Qinglong Bay was unclear, and no one would care where it was sent.
Hu Xiaotian raised his eyes and looked at the river ahead, and whispered: "We all come out together and walk together through thick and thin. We are brothers. Although they are gone, those of us who are lucky enough to survive must let them go with dignity."
Everyone looked at Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian cast his eyes on the woods by the river and said: "There are more than thirty of us, let's work together, build a few more rafts, and send our brothers away safely, and let their heroic spirits follow the path of Yong."
The river floats back to Dakang."
Li Chenzhou stayed up all night, quietly guarding his brother's body in the camp. Although the two brothers had not had time to recognize each other alive, he, as the eldest brother, had to fulfill his responsibility and accompany his brother through his last night on earth, so that
He will not be afraid on his way to hell.
Li Chenzhou walked out of the tent. The night sky had cleared up. Stars were twinkling in the deep blue sky. The north wind blew away all the clouds that shrouded the sky during the day. When he raised his head, he could see the dazzling Milky Way. Li Chenzhou raised his head and saw the night sky.
A shining meteor flashed across the sky. I remember my grandfather once said that after death, a person will turn into stars and hang in the night sky, silently guarding his relatives and friends. Could that meteor be the soul of his younger brother?
There were still figures moving by the river. Li Chenzhou squinted his eyes and vaguely made out that the group of people were survivors from the Dakang Mission. He waved and called a soldier on duty not far away to come over.
: "What are they doing?"
The soldier replied: "For the information, General, they are building rafts to bury the dead in water."
Hu Xiaotian and others worked together to push the newly-tied raft into the water. On the raft lay six identified soldiers. Their bodies were covered with branches and kerosene was poured on them. The raft drifted down the water toward
It went slowly downstream.
A beam of fire ignited in the dark night, but Zhan Peng bent his bow and nocked an arrow. He aimed at the drifting raft and shot it out. The rocket accurately shot into the raft, igniting the firewood and the raft.
The bodies of six soldiers.
Hu Xiaotian led everyone to remove their helmets and bow deeply to the raft that was drifting away. In the current situation, they could only do this step. Dayong was unwilling to provide them with land to bury these soldiers, so they could only let these soldiers
Their bodies were buried in the Yongjiang River. Hu Xiaotian thought to himself that one day, if Yongjiang could be recaptured, then these soldiers would have returned to their homeland.
Turning around, he saw Long Xiyue standing beside him, with a tired expression and crystal tears in her beautiful eyes. In Long Xiyue's view, the deaths of these soldiers were all because of her.
It was only right that she came over to help send these soldiers off for their final journey.
Li Chenzhou said: "More than four hundred corpses. They have to build at least eighty rafts."
The soldier said: "Originally they wanted to find a piece of land to bury those soldiers, but General Tang said that our land in Dayong cannot be used by the Kang people."
Li Chenzhou frowned, thought for a moment, and walked slowly.
When Hu Xiaotian and the others were continuing to prepare the raft, Li Chenzhou appeared next to him. Hu Xiaotian felt the difference: "General Li is still up so late?"
Li Chenzhou said: "You guys are chopping wood here, and I can't sleep."
Hu Xiaotian apologized: "It's delayed General Li's rest, but we just want to see these brothers off as soon as possible." He looked at the princess's tent again and said, "I don't want to delay the princess's schedule."
Li Chenzhou said: "They all died of drowning. If you bury them in the water, you're afraid their ghosts will linger."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Yongjiang River flows eastward. I hope they can return to their hometown along the flowing water."
Li Chenzhou sighed secretly in his heart, but Hu Xiaotian was also somewhat affectionate, and said in a low voice: "It will probably take several days to build so many rafts."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Even if we spend more time, we should do it. We can't just watch these brothers die without a destination."
Li Chenzhou said: "Let's do this. I'll tell General Tang and ask him to provide you with a piece of land so that you can bury them. After all, they will be buried in peace."
Hu Xiaotian was overjoyed when he heard this. He had no choice but to choose to bury the dead soldiers in this way. It would be best if they could be buried in the ground. If there is a chance to transport the bones back to Dakang in the future, he hurriedly bowed to Li Chenzhou and said: "Thank you, General Li.
."
Li Chenzhou said: "You don't need to thank me. I feel sorry for this forest. I'm afraid you will cut it all down."
Of course, Li Chenzhou didn't pity this forest. He thought of his brothers. If Hu Xiaotian used this method to bury the dead in water, then his younger brother would not be able to escape such an ending. It should be said that these dead soldiers were still invisibly exposed to the cultural heritage.
Distant light.
Li Chenzhou was about to leave, but Hu Xiaotian said: "I still have something to discuss with General Li."
Li Chenzhou nodded: "Master Hu, please speak."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Please return the body of General Wen Boyuan to us."
Li Chenzhou took Wen Boyuan's body away because he was overwhelmed with grief. At that time, his emotions were almost out of control and he was afraid of showing them in front of everyone. Now that Li Chenzhou has completely recovered his calmness, he must never let outsiders know about Wen Boyuan and himself.
Brotherly relationship, he said softly: "The reason why General Wen's body was taken away today was because he saw the knife wound on his chest and asked someone to examine the wound. It has been determined that General Wen died of homicide. General Wen's identity is very
Unusual, we have reported this matter to the court, Sir Hu, just rest assured that we will properly arrange General Wen's body." His explanation was quite reasonable.
Hu Xiaotian didn't originally have much interest in Wen Boyuan's body. The reason why he brought it up was just for show.
After Li Chenzhou left, Hu Xiaotian asked everyone to stop making rafts and go back to rest. When they heard that Li Chenzhou had agreed to help solve the problem of burying the soldiers, everyone was overjoyed.
Although the Yong Army has provided some camps, ordinary soldiers are not eligible to enjoy them. Even if Long Xiyue is the princess of Dakang, now that she has disguised herself as an ordinary soldier, naturally she can no longer be as pampered and pampered as she was in the past.
Hu Xiaotian asked her to stand guard outside his tent. Although it was a hard job, Long Xi Yuefang was extremely happy in her heart. No matter how hard it was, she would not feel hard as long as she was by Hu Xiaotian's side.
After everyone went to rest, Long Xiyue sat outside the camp, guarding the bonfire alone, her beautiful eyes staring at the warm flames in a daze. There were too many things that happened today, and she could not conclude that the two ships were in the middle of the river.
Is the sinking related to Hu Xiaotian? If everything is really done by him, even if it is to rescue himself, the price is too high. Thinking of the more than 700 warriors who died and disappeared, and thinking of Zicuckoo who replaced him as Princess Anping,
Long Xiyue's heart felt like a huge rock was pressing down on her, and she was extremely sad. Is it worth sacrificing so many lives and compromising the happiness of others for one person's freedom?
Hu Xiaotian's figure quietly appeared beside her, and Long Xiyue stood up in a hurry.
Hu Xiaotian smiled calmly and said: "You don't have to panic, just sit down."
Long Xiyue sat down again. Hu Xiaotian sat down next to her and looked around. It was quiet around the camp. Only the shadows of people could be seen shaking in the arrow tower in the distance. They were the guards on duty. Hu Xiaotian picked up a stick.
He broke the dead branch into two pieces and threw them into the bonfire, and said to Long Xiyue through a secret voice transmission: "I know you will definitely not feel well."
Long Xiyue nodded. She wanted to express her inner feelings. She wanted to throw herself into Hu Xiaotian's arms and cry happily, but she didn't dare. She was worried that others would see and find out the truth, which would harm Hu Xiaotian.
.
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "You don't need to speak, just listen to me quietly. I already learned in Cangmu that Wen Boyuan wanted to take action in Yongjiang. He wanted to harm you. I didn't know his purpose.
Now it seems that it must be related to the fight in the palace. Maybe the Wen family and his son do not want the marriage between the two countries and do not want to see long-term peace between the two countries. When I left Kangdu, Ji Feihua gave me a task.
Look for opportunities to get rid of Wen Boyuan."
Long Xiyue's beautiful eyes widened. She never knew there would be so many fights behind this marriage.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The water bag you are wearing was actually a gift from Ji Feihua. Because Wenbo is far from water-resistant, he asked me to do it in Tongtian River, but I never expected that he would decide to do it in Yongjiang River.
Zhao Wusheng, who came to Cangmu to meet us, was actually sent by him."
Long Xiyue's heart was filled with ups and downs. She had been born in the palace since she was a child. Although the palace was the most dangerous place for intrigues, she had always stayed out of it and was unwilling to get involved in any power disputes. It was not until today that Hu Xiaotian detailed his plan one by one.
Tell her, to Long Xiyue, all this was so strange and thrilling, no wonder Hu Xiaotian didn't tell her the plan in advance.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I thought Zhao Wusheng was here to cooperate with me in getting rid of Wen Boyuan, but I didn't expect that Ji Feihua's purpose was not just to kill Wen Boyuan, but this person was planning a conspiracy to kill two birds with one stone. He was the one responsible for the sinking of the Yongjiang River.
Planned by himself. So you don’t need to blame yourself, these dead soldiers have nothing to do with you." Hu Xiaotian had long seen that Long Xiyue was under great pressure.
Long Xiyue bit her lip, picked up a dead branch and threw it into the bonfire. She looked at the tent in the distance. That tent should have belonged to her, but Zicuckoo was staying inside at this time.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't feel guilty because of Zijuan. She has secretly colluded with Wen Boyuan and has been monitoring your actions all the way. It is her luck to be alive." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
