Xian Qingchen shouted Wang Yun's name heartbreakingly, as if he wanted to use all the strength in his body to stop the killing in front of him.
One by one, poor children died in front of his eyes.
Their voices lingered in his ears.
"Master Xian, can we all go out?"
"Sir, can we all survive?"
"Sir, I miss my mother. Last night I dreamed that my mother made a bowl of japonica rice. It was really delicious."
"Sir, when we go out, you must come to my house as a guest, and I will collect medicine to treat your injury."
Those little hands helped bandage his wounds in the dark.
Each little head once slept next to him.
"Father, are you really my father? I know you are, but you are different from the last time I saw you."
"I told my mother that you will definitely come back. I'm not talking nonsense. I have this feeling. My mother said that what you did was a good thing. The Buddha also said that good deeds are rewarded. We will all go back alive, and neither will the northwest.
Fight again.
But where are we going to live? Let’s go to the south. Mother said the south is beautiful. It’s my mother’s hometown. My father always said he would take my mother to see it, but every time it was ignored. This time we went back
Just go, no one can stop you."
"Well, okay, okay, okay."
He kept agreeing and patting his son's shoulder gently. He could not imagine how such a little man dared to find this place and how many difficulties and fears he had to go through to stand beside him.
Listening to his son's even breathing, he felt extremely happy. His son was by his side. He wanted to protect him, no, he would protect them.
Their expectant eyes were the motivation for him to keep fighting. He could not let these children down, just like he had vowed to promote the peace talks between Duogansi and Dazhou.
Because he saw the suffering of the people in the northwest frontier, and because he saw the plight of Marquis Guangping and the soldiers guarding the border, if he could do something, he would not regret it.
"I'll take you out."
Xian Qingchen remembered saying this.
But the small bodies in front of him fell down in front of him, gradually becoming cold and no longer breathing.
He stepped forward to stop him, but how could he stop Wang Yun and those Duo Gansi soldiers. They wanted to kill everyone. Wang Yun betrayed them, betrayed Zhou, and surrendered to Duo Gansi. As long as they
After they died, no one would know about Wang Yun's betrayal. Wang Yun killed them personally to prove to Duo Gansi his determination to betray Zhou Dynasty.
"They are all children... They are all children..."
Xian Qingchen took Wang Yun's hand: "You are here...to negotiate peace...to save them...why do you want to kill these children..."
Wang Yun smiled coldly: "I hate...this world is unfair...only if I survive...can I reverse justice. Don't worry, I will reverse justice and their deaths will not be in vain."
After Wang Yun finished speaking, he stabbed him with a knife.
Xian Qingchen stared at Wang Yun with no fear on his face: "Wang Yun, do you still remember your original intention of coming here? If you can't persist, why did you come?"
Wang Yun stabbed the knife into his body and he fell to the ground.
I don't know if it was because of panic, but Wang Yun's knife did not stab him deeply. Naturally, Wang Yun was not prepared to leave him alive, so he raised the knife and stabbed him in the back again.
A burst of pain came, and Xian Qingchen's vision blurred. Before he fainted, he looked around and saw the bodies of children everywhere. He wanted to look for his Brother Nian, but he couldn't find the little figure.
I don't know how long it took, but he woke up. The blood had already soaked his clothes, but he could still breathe. Why wasn't he dead yet? He lowered his head and found a pair of small hands, which held him tightly.
.
It's his brother Nian.
When Wang Yun stabbed the knife, Brother Nian stood in front of him. The knife passed through Brother Nian's body and then penetrated into his flesh, tightly connecting the father and son together.
"Father, how about we go to the south together."
"Father."
"Father."
Brother Nian likes to hold him to sleep, and he can hear Brother Nian's shallow breathing.
Can't hear it anymore.
Why?
Why is this happening?
He helped the children up one by one and walked into the prison. The last thing he saw was Brother Nian's little face. He slowly wiped away the blood on Brother Nian's mouth with his hands, and then held Brother Nian in his arms.
Closing his eyes, it seemed like he was back to the days when they were cuddling together.
Then everything went into chaos, as if he had been in a prison, being tortured every day.
In a daze, someone also told him that he had returned to Dazhou.
No, how is that possible? If he comes back, he will not be without Brother Nian or those children.
After a long time, he saw Wang Yun again. Wang Yun pushed a child in front of him. He vaguely remembered Wang Yun saying: "You killed those children, you killed them."
I didn't expect you to be really crazy.
It's a pity, I should show you how I handle justice."
"Master Xian, you have returned to Da Zhou. If you don't tell what happened back then, no one will ever know. If the murderer of the children is not brought to justice, more people will suffer. Do you still remember what I said?
Have you ever been involved in Fengxiang’s case? It’s not just Fengxiang’s case. You were seriously injured and survived because Marquis Guangping led his troops to break through the city.”
Xian Qingchen's distracted eyes gradually gathered together, and he saw a strange girl under the light of the torch.
"What did you say? Destroy the city?" Xian Qingchen's voice was hoarse.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Wang Yun said that Chief Duogansi Kangji was pretending to have peace talks, and after Zhou retreated, he would kill all the detained officials and children. He and you discovered Chieftain Kangji's trick, fought hard, and wanted to kill him.
The children were rescued, but unexpectedly they were not protected. Mr. Wang Yun fled back to Dazhou to deliver the message. After the Marquis of Guangping broke through the city, he found that you were not dead. It was the Marquis who saved you."
"No, that's not the case," Xian Qingchen said, "It's impossible for Chieftain Kangji to do this. Kangji's manpower suffered heavy losses in the plague that year. Chieftain Kangji became increasingly ill and had no time to take care of himself. He was absolutely unwilling to go to war with the Zhou Dynasty.
Let alone such a provocation, if it were not so, I would not be sure that the peace talks would succeed.
Chieftain Kangji lobbied the Duogansi nobles to accept the peace talks. If the Zhou army suddenly launched an attack, Chieftain Kangji would surely lose his prestige, and... the land of three cities, the land of three cities was not only useless to our great Zhou Dynasty, but would also drag down the Marquis of Guangping.
.”
"I didn't expect Mr. Xian to know the war situation in the northwest so well," Marquis Guangping walked to Xian Qingchen, "Wang Yun fled back that day and brought back the news. Duo Gansi's actions hurt the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty. The imperial court ordered me to send troops. We
He pursued them with all his strength and defeated three cities."
Xian Qingchen frowned: "The land of the three cities should not be taken away. It is useless for us to come to the land of Duogansi. We, the people of the Zhou Dynasty, make a living by farming. The land of Duogansi is not suitable for growing crops, and the land of the three cities is not suitable for growing crops."
There are no natural dangers outside, which makes it difficult to hold on, and it is far away from the city of Dazhou. Food and grass have to be transported thousands of miles into the city, which consumes manpower and material resources. It will make people miserable after a long time."
The Marquis of Guangping said: "I also know that these three cities should not be captured, but the situation at that time neither the court nor I had any choice.
But since we have taken it, the imperial court will never let us abandon the city."
Xian Qingchen said: "The imperial court has long wanted to capture Duo Gansi. When they see the land of three cities, they will naturally urge you to guard it. Not only that, they will also station more officials in the city, hoping to win more one day."
The city."
The face of Marquis Guangping was full of complex expressions: "The imperial court only wants to win the battle, but I don't know that this victory is my burden.
After the battle that year, Chieftain Kangji died of illness in the military tent. Chieftain Burang reluctantly took over Kangji's manpower, but he still lost to Chieftain Cuona in a few years. Chieftain Cuona would soon unify Duogansi. If he was defeated
It will be a hard battle to find the right time to raise troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty. I consolidated my troops in the northwest to guard against Duo Gansi's invasion, but I didn't expect that something happened at home. The eldest son was missing. I'm afraid it's more bad than good, and I'm trapped in Beijing again.
middle……"
Xian Qingchen said: "This is the conspiracy of the chieftain. He has been planning for so many years and finally succeeded."
When Hong Chuanting heard this, he walked up to Wang Yun and said, "Wang Yun, haven't you confessed your guilt until now?"
