please come back

"Why are you so silly?" Xia Heyu asked.

"I'm having fun, but there's a battle going on. General, you don't know that I've been in trouble with you in the capital for the past two years." Zhang Ling said, "Shall we leave tomorrow morning?"

"You are too impatient." Xia Heyu glared at him, "At any rate, let me tell the old man, and then tell my soldiers who have just been included in the formation to go on the road."

"Then the morning after tomorrow." Zhang Ling slapped the table and set a date for Xia Heyu.

Xia Heyu smiled helplessly, "Okay, okay, the morning after tomorrow. Take the luggage and food for [-] soldiers, gather at the gate of the city and set off."

"Twenty thousand?" Zhang Ling was a little surprised, "Then this means that all the soldiers in our barracks have been transferred away."

"Well." Xia Heyu wanted to trust Jiang Linyuan once. He thought that Jiang Linyuan had his reasons for letting him do this, but he explained to Zhang Ling: "My soldiers are marching and fighting for the first time, and they don't have much experience. There's no harm in bringing some people along."

Zhang Ling didn't think too much about it. He would be happy if there was a battle. After hearing what Xia Heyu said, he didn't think about it any more. He went to prepare for the dispatch of troops in the middle of the night.

At dawn on the third day, the sky was not yet bright, and the city was already full of noise. The 2 horses assembled noisily, and Xia Heyu rode on the horse and looked back at the high city wall.This is not the first time he has sent troops, but this time it is much more deserted than in the past.No one came to ask, no one came to deliver, only the emperor sent someone to bring a hand letter, and what was written on it was nothing more than words of encouragement.

The noise gradually subsided, the team had finished standing, and the flags fluttered in the morning wind, which was very mighty.Zhang Ling steered the horse back to Xia Heyu's side from the team, and said, "General, the assembly is over."

Xia Heyu came back to his senses, wrapped the reins around his hands twice, and said flatly, "March."

The marching horn sounded, and the footsteps of 2 people stepped over, raising fine dust on the ground.The weather today is slightly overcast, as it is in the capital, and so is Qingzhou.

The border of Qingzhou is a seasonal river. The river is not wide and the water is not deep enough. During the dry season, the river will stop flowing, leaving only a dry and cracked riverbed.

Jiang Linyuan's hometown is on the bank of this river. It is a small village. The villagers live by the river and are self-sufficient.But now, there are only a few uninhabited thatched houses left in that small village. Jiang Linyuan can no longer remember which one he originally lived in. The only thing he can remember is 13 years ago, also in the On such a cloudy day, the village was completely destroyed.

Jiang Linyuan didn't know why, but his mother insisted on painting his eyebrows and eyes that day.

He still remembered that his mother was trembling slightly, holding a vermilion pen to draw his lips for him, and on the wooden dressing table was an overturned box of rouge and gouache.

"Mother, why did you draw me like this?" Jiang Linyuan looked at his mother's red and swollen eyes and asked in puzzlement.

"Yuan'er is good." Jiang Linyuan's mother said in a trembling voice, "Mother knows you are clever, listen to what mother says, seize the opportunity and run quickly, do you know that if you run far away?"

"Mother..." Jiang Linyuan was a little confused when he said this, and he opened his mouth to ask, but he heard the sound of horseshoes getting closer and closer outside his window.Jiang Linyuan's mother threw a ink pen when she heard the sound, and hugged Jiang Linyuan tightly until the dilapidated door was kicked open.

Jiang Linyuan was guarded by his mother, looked sideways, and saw two tall men in black, carrying two long knives, walked in with a wicked smile, and said to his mother: " You are the only one in your family? Are there any young women?"

"Yes, why not." Before Jiang Linyuan's mother could speak, another big man saw Jiang Linyuan who was hiding behind with only half of his face showing, and poked the man who had just spoken with the back of his knife and said, "Look Isn't that one?"

The big man glanced at Jiang Linyuan, walked over and pulled him out. Jiang Linyuan's mother was unwilling and wanted to protect Jiang Linyuan in her arms, but was stopped by the other man, who put a knife on her neck.

Jiang Linyuan's eyes were full of fear. He had never seen such a posture before, and he didn't even dare to move.The big man looked at Jiang Linyuan up and down, then pinched Jiang Linyuan's face carefully for a while with his thick hands, and said: "This girl is really good-looking, but she is just a little younger. Given time, she must be a beauty."

The person next to him continued: "In my opinion, although this girl is small, she is the only one who can handle it. She is not afraid of being small. Yang Gong likes to play with some new things recently."

"That's true." The big man nodded, carrying Jiang Linyuan on his shoulder with one hand, and said, "Go back, I've collected a cart, and there is no one in this village. As for this..." The big man pointed Looking at Jiang Linyuan's mother, "This beauty is not enough, there is no need to keep it." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the house.

Jiang Linyuan was carried by a big man, and he raised his neck with great effort to ask his mother for help. When he walked around the corner of the house, he saw a round object rolling on the ground in the back room, followed by a pool of red liquid slowly Flowing from the door of the house.Another person who came with the big man walked out of the back room stepping on the red color, and the cold long knife was dyed red.

Jiang Linyuan opened his mouth wide, wanted to call "Mother" but couldn't make a sound, just stared at his eyes, watching the door of his house was closed, and he was getting farther and farther away from him.

Jiang Linyuan was taken to a carriage driven by two horses at the entrance of the village. A pile of human heads that seemed to have just been beheaded and were still bleeding were hanging from the roof of the carriage.These heads are all men's heads.

The killing team was in Tucun, killing all the villagers except some pretty women.

Most of the heads on this car had hideous faces, but Jiang Linyuan could still make out some familiar faces.He could tell that these were all villagers from his own village, including a scholar from the east of the village who just got married yesterday, an old man who helped their family repair the yard fence, and even friends who used to play together.

Before he had time to identify them, Jiang Linyuan was stuffed into the carriage, and in the carriage were young women from various families, all pale with fright and crying unnaturally.

Jiang Linyuan didn't cry, but just huddled quietly in a corner of the carriage, looking at the bloodstains slowly oozing from the heads on the roof. The bloodstains penetrated the cloth on the roof and spilled over to the cloth around the carriage, where the cloth couldn't hold it. , the blood dripped down the car window pillars, stained the woman's clothes in the car, leaving a fishy smell on her face.

Jiang Linyuan's eyes followed the bloodstains until they changed from Yin Hong to dark brown, and they were fixed on the carriage and did not move.Only then did the carriage stop, and the women in the carriage were dragged off one by one and formed a line beside the carriage, with Jiang Linyuan being the youngest one at the end of the line.

"What a beauty!" A brocade-clad man walked backwards from the beginning of the line of women, shaking his head and sighing as he walked, "Do you think there is still a shortage of such women, Mr. Yang?"

Accompanying this man was the big man who was carrying Jiang Linyuan just now, bowed his body, and said with aggrieved face: "Eunuch Yu, we have searched all the ten miles and eight villages in Yangzhou, and there are only so many left. Look again, look again and you will find Qingzhou."

"You still have the nerve to complain." Eunuch Yu knocked the big man on the head and said, "I don't know that Yangzhou has almost seen all the women in Yangzhou, but the key is that he is tired of seeing them." Eunuch Yu said He walked to the end of the line, and there was really nothing surprising along the way, but when he reached the end of the line, he suddenly lowered his head and saw Jiang Linyuan.

Seeing that Eunuch Yu was staring at Jiang Linyuan without saying a word, the big man hurriedly said, "Eunuch Yu, what do you think of this little girl? She is a little small, but what if it suits Mr. Yang's appetite?"

Jiang Linyuan raised his head upon hearing the sound, his eyes were full of emptiness, the scene of the building in front of him was something he had never seen before, but the scene was covered with a thin layer of red, which made Jiang Linyuan's stomach ache.

When Eunuch Yu saw Jiang Linyuan looking up at him, he suddenly felt that this little guy was beautiful but not all feminine. The look in his eyes was very pitiful. There was indeed no similar woman in Yang's mansion.

"Okay, I'll take him in and meet him." Eunuch Yu dragged Jiang Linyuan over to the mansion as he said that. Jiang Linyuan's footsteps were a little stiff, so Eunuch Yu stretched out his arm.

"Hey Eunuch Yu." The big man called out to Eunuch Yu's back, smiling all over his face, "If Mr. Yang likes it, look at us..."

"You guys are indispensable." Eunuch Yu waved his hand and led Jiang Linyuan into the gate of the mansion.

Although Yang Pei's mansion is said to be the residence of state officials, it is actually built like a small palace, with exquisite gardens and courtyards.

Eunuch Yu brought Jiang Linyuan to a three-story pavilion at the back of the garden. The pavilion was resplendent and resplendent, full of singing and dancing, and there was a scent of makeup and powder as soon as he entered the door.

"Mr. Yang, this is the beauty that our people searched outside today. Please take a look at Mr. Yang." Eunuch Yu pushed Jiang Linyuan forward and said with his head bowed.

On the golden couch in the pavilion, Yang Pei slowly got up, lifted the curtain on the couch, and moved over step by step with the help of his servants.Jiang Linyuan just watched in a daze, watching Yang Pei who was approaching, reached out and pinched his chin and gave it a hard pick.

"Heh, it's not bad looking, but it's a bit small." Yang Pei said, the voice was like the autumn wind blowing through the broken window frame, making a loud noise, "But you can only be obedient when you grow up. Reward." After Yang Pei finished speaking, he pinched the back of Jiang Linyuan's neck with his hands, and moved back to the couch step by step. His strength was great for Jiang Linyuan, and Jiang Linyuan was almost lifted by him floating.

Seeing this, Eunuch Yu hurriedly thanked him, waved away the maids and servants serving in the pavilion, and gently closed the door.

Yang Pei lifted Jiang Linyuan to the couch, put down the curtain, hooked his chin and said, "I'm so young, I must have never done it before. Don't worry, I have a lot of experience. I'll take you to develop it today."

Jiang Linyuan seemed to understand but didn't understand, he just stared at Yang Pei's fleshy face without saying a word, feeling chills all over his body.

After Yang Pei touched Jiang Linyuan's face once, his hands started to go down, without thinking too much, he just took off the tattered clothes on Jiang Linyuan's body, Jiang Linyuan waved his limbs to resist, but he couldn't twist it too much Yang Pei, a tall man, was lifted naked by Yang Pei's shoulders, feeling Yang Pei's eyes staring straight at his torso.
