"Oh, Minister Cui."

Cui Jian stepped forward immediately, "The officer is here."

"What's the crime for deceiving the court officials?"

When Cui Jian heard this, Taiyang Xué's veins twitched. Fu Xin just suffered a day of torture and his mouth was dry, and he didn't mention anything about the Yanzhou flood at all.This, this, alas, there is no excuse for the crime.He looked up in distress, but was caught by that gentle face.

Qu Quan has an elegant face like Zhangtai bluegrass, but whenever she smiles, people can't connect her with those elegant and fresh things. On the contrary, it reminds people of the opposite—— fox.

Quiet as Lanzhi, cunning as a fox.

Only this horoscope is the most suitable description for Qu Quan.

"Cui Shilang, Cui Shilang? I'm afraid it's because you worked too hard last night and didn't rest, okay?" The voice was as soft as Su's warmth and soft as jade, as if his wife's tactful exhortation before leaving, with a gentle wind blowing in his ears.But at this moment, it sounds like a life-threatening curse!

Cui Jian flicked his hem with a "wow" and knelt on the ground with a "plop", "No. 17 of the third volume of "Great Xia Laws", whoever deceives officials and does not report confidential events and leaks them to the enemy will have a hundred sticks Three years. Master Shang Shu sympathizes with the subordinate officials, but the subordinate officials neglect their duties and must be punished themselves!"

Qu Quan smiled warmly and bowed slightly, "Cui Shilang, please get up quickly. Since Cui Shilang is not feeling well, he should take a rest at home for three days."

"This, how did this happen." Cui Jian felt ashamed.

Qu Quan shook his head, "It can be said that Cui Shilang has devoted himself to my Great Xia Dynasty, which is lamentable. Since Cui Shilang feels sorry, he will copy the "Great Xia Law" at home for [-] times. Come here. How is that?"

"It's so...very good." What a fart! !I shouldn't talk too much!Cui Jian slandered her crazily, but she still couldn't show it on her face, so she could only accept her fate with a dark face, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for your compassion..."

Qu Quan smiled in satisfaction, and then flicked his sleeves generously, "As a felon, Fu Xin doesn't know how to repent, but he vainly attempted to serve as an official in the imperial court. The crime is added to the crime and the crime is unforgivable! But this official has a kind heart and cannot bear Increase the punishment. According to the "Laws of the Great Xia", the Fuxin rod will be punished for one hundred, and the sentence will be executed immediately."

The four guards who were waiting responded, two hung the iron whips on the wall, and the other two took the torture sticks.When ready, the execution begins.

Qu Quan looked at Fu Xin, who was in pain and had a hideous face, and smiled softly, turned around and went back to her wooden table, took a sip from the teacup.

"The decree arrives—"

A thin, old voice with a long tail pierced through the dark cell and pierced Qu Quan's ears.The hand holding the teacup trembled, and then calmly knelt down on his knees, nodding his head to receive the order.

The imperial decree of Minghuang slowly unfurled, and Grand Inspector Xu Eunuch recited it personally, "Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Qu Quan received the decree—"

Yumen Pass

In the fifth year of Yulong, the frontier fortress chūn

A piece of green willow leaves falling from the capital was carried by the warm spring breeze, flew out of the city gate, over the Luohe River, over the rivers, lakes and seas, over the mountains and hills...until it was swept away by the rough wind of the frontier fortress, It fell in front of Yumen pass.When the wind blows, the dust rises, revealing the original fresh green and the dark yellow that has been somewhat withered around the edge.In the faint sound of Qiang flute, it brought the spring of the capital to the soldiers in the frontier fortress.

However, at the moment when Yumen is closed, no one is in the mood to appreciate this graceful beauty.

The dense Xia army besieged the [-] remnants of Xiliang's deserted soldiers, and the cold-glowing spears formed an impregnable wall, fearing that only broken bones could break through from here.

The outcome has been divided, and the advantages and disadvantages are already very clear.However, these Xiliang prisoners of war did not seem to be aware of their situation. They were either deaf or blind, or lame or sick, and blood was constantly oozing from their wounds. The continuous fierce fighting for three days and three nights made them almost unable to stand upright.They have completely lost the ability to fight back.But even so, they still looked like torches one by one, standing with arms folded, looking up at the enemy facing them as much as possible, even if they were prisoners of war, they were fearless.

A bay red horse leisurely paced out from Yumen Pass, and sitting on the horse was a female general in red robe and black armor.Her black hair stood tall, and her gorgeous face was full of arrogance.It was Wei Yueyan, the general of the Twelve Guards who was ranked the third rank in the Great Xia Dynasty.

She turned sharply and rode on the high platform, her long crow-colored hair drew a neat arc, because her hair was of excellent quality, this stroke was like the waves of an ink lake, sparkling with light.Under the clear sky and scorching sun, Wei Yueyan stood with its head held high, as if it had been coated with a layer of golden light.His eyes swept across the exhausted and unyielding faces, and he said loudly: "Xiliang was defeated, you can't go back."

That's right.

Xiliang has already declared defeat, and these remnants of defeated soldiers have become their abandoned pawns. Even if they return to Xiliang, they will be reviled by all the people, abandoned by their kings, and live their remaining lives in a life that would be worse than death.But it's one thing to know these things in your heart, it's another thing to admit them verbally, it's another thing to be declared by Wei Yueyan in full view right now.

There was commotion among the prisoners of war, some people wriggled their cracked lips and hurriedly wanted to say something, but they were blocked by the collapsed belief.After a while of commotion, nothing happened.
