Dream Hua Embers Records

8. A piece of snow and frost in the blue sky

Suddenly, huge snowflakes like goose feathers fluttered down one after another.After a while, the earth was completely white.

Those filthy flesh and blood were all covered by this pure and pure white snow.It was as if the heavens were crying, burying the dead.

Zhu'er just stood there in a daze, watching, her heart seemed to be frozen, unable to think.Until the white snow dyed the bright red on the top and shoulders into a piece of pure white, it still stood still.

It really is an ominous omen... Zhu'er twisted her clothes tightly with her hands, and the embroidery pattern of "One Year Scene" was distorted and deformed, turning into a broken beautiful scene of good days, peace in all seasons.

That night, Yuanbing set fire to twelve city gates, and the flames lasted all night long.

Fires also broke out in Yangde Temple, Ma Caochang, and Baozhen Palace outside the city.

In the city, the old house of the queen's mother's house caught fire, and the husband's mansion caught fire. The Yuan army kidnapped dozens of women and left the city.

All the houses of the common people and the mansions of princes and princes near the gates of the city were looted.The howling and crying of the people was earth-shattering.This is the real, sleepless night from hell.Compared with the tragedy of this night, the night a few days ago was as peaceful as a New Year's fireworks.

The next day was just dawn, and everyone was awakened by the thunderous drumming of the Sibiyuan army.

The drum is very big, one is placed in each city tower, and the drumsticks are divided into several strands, each strand is tied with a ball, so the sound is extraordinarily loud and can reach far.During the day, there are three beeps at every hour.It seemed that the Yuan army was declaring to the people of Daliang that Dayuan had firmly controlled the city.

The thick snow whitewashed Daliang City into a piece of flawless jade.Those stumps, those bloodstains, and those countless deaths were all buried in three inches of snow, and there was no trace to be found.It seems to be urging the people of Daliang to forget all this, forget the dead relatives, forget the slaughter, forget the hatred, so that they can more calmly accept the emperor's peace negotiation strategy.

Seeing that Zhu'er wanted to go out, Zi Xiao hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, the snow is so heavy and the mountain road is very slippery, so don't go out."

"I didn't bind my feet, and you didn't bind your feet either, what are you afraid of?" Zhu'er said angrily.

"There's really nothing to see about those tragic events. I feel uncomfortable after seeing them. I can't sleep well at night. I have nightmares all over the place. Why bother to torture myself like this..."

Zhu'er didn't know why she wanted to watch it, but she just felt uneasy, and she couldn't feel at ease if she didn't.

Zi Xiao persuaded again: "The wives and ladies in other mansions are just worshiping Buddha, copying scriptures, praying for the safety of the country and family, that's all. If you feel uneasy, why don't you also recite the scriptures?"

Zhu'er shook her head: "If chanting sutras is useful, what do soldiers and generals need to do? They don't look because they can't see that far." After speaking, she lifted the corner of her skirt and strode out.

Zi Xiao had no choice but to keep up with the hand stove.

The snow was deep and the mountain road was very slippery. The master and the servant walked slowly, supporting each other.

Before reaching the top of the mountain, he saw a group of people galloping out of Gen Yuan.After turning around the mountain road and climbing to the top of the mountain, I saw the group of people leaving the city gate and heading straight to the camp of the Yuan army.

"Who is that?" Zi Xiao asked.

"King Hui." Zhu'er stared at the python robe and replied.

"Has the emperor finally sent the prince as an envoy to discuss peace?"

"That's right... Prince Hui is the emperor's blood brother, so his status is second only to the crown prince, right?"

"Will Yuangou agree to peace talks?"

"I don't know..." Pearl shook her head.

Now that the four walls of the city have been occupied by the Yuan army, if they continue to resist, Daliang City may be destroyed.If there is a delay and the strategy of slowing down the troops is probably not going to work, the current situation, the entire girder, courtiers, clan, emperor... have all become hostages of the Yuan army, how can the troops of the kings from all walks of life not be wary.However, even if the peace talks were successful, it would be a humiliation. With Yuan Jun's current strength, he still doesn't know what harsh conditions to put forward.

Pearl was meditating, when suddenly there was a noise in her ears.Zhu'er turned her head and looked around, but saw that there were people on the inner three floors and the outer three floors near the Duting post.

Zhu'er was startled, and hurriedly looked at it.

I saw three people dressed in source country being dragged out of the gate of the post by a group of people.The group of people beat them with hands and feet.

Those people from Yuanguo fell down, got up again, and were knocked down again... their bodies were covered in blood, it was horrible.One of them stretched out his arm and yelled loudly, and was knocked down with a stick in an instant, and a pair of thin-soled fast boots stepped on that hand.

The beating crowd became more and more dense, and Zhu'er could no longer see the figure of those people from Yuanguo clearly, but she clearly saw that they never stood up again.

After an unknown amount of time, the beating people dispersed a little and stopped.Only then did Pearl see clearly the mess surrounded in the center.It can no longer be called a human being. Clothes, flesh and blood were torn into pieces and scattered in the blood. One thigh and half of the body could barely be distinguished, twisted into strange shapes. Next to it was a trampled bloody man. His head and facial features have been completely blended together, only the gold rings on the ears are shining in the sun.

Pearl felt disgusted and nauseated in her chest, she didn't want to read any more, so she raised her head.

It turned out to be a rare good weather!Pearl felt a little emotional.The sky after the first snowfall is as clear as blue, and the sun is as hot as fire, which makes people feel the warmth that is rarely seen in winter.However, no matter how bright the sun is, it cannot warm the city that has been scarred by massacres.

After all, she was still curious, Zhu'er stared at the other side again, only in a split second, the golden ring on the head had been dragged away by someone, leaving a broken earlobe, quietly dripping blood.

These three people must be the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, right?Now that he was killed by the common people, how should this peace negotiation end?Pearl was troubled.

In the evening, Wang Kangwei of Yong'an County brought the details of the Dutingyi incident.

The reason is that a cook in the posthouse, who lives in Jinglongmen, last night his whole family was killed by the Yuan soldiers, and the only daughter was kidnapped by the Yuan soldiers, his life and death are unknown.He felt resentful, so he bought arsenic, mixed it with noodles, and made soup cakes for the envoys of the source country for breakfast.But he didn't expect that those envoys from the Yuan country were so drunk last night that they didn't get up to eat in the morning, so the soup and cakes were shared by several servants.

After those servants ate the soup cakes, they died.

Hearing that there was a homicide case, the imperial guards in charge of guarding outside the post came in to assist in the investigation.Unexpectedly, whoever leaked the rumors spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and it turned out that the envoys of the source country poisoned Zhao Guo's imperial army.

The people who had nowhere to vent their grievances surrounded the Duting post with weapons. There were more and more people, and the crowd became more and more angry... Finally, the imperial army could no longer control the situation, and the people swarmed like bees. , poured into Duting Station.

Hair shaved on the top of the head and gold rings around the ears are the most common attire for people from the Yuan country. After a while, those envoys from the Yuan country were dragged out. Don't kill me!" But at this time, no one can calm down and think about the truth in his words, even if one or two people can stay awake, it won't help.

Kang Wei sighed while telling his wife and daughter.

On the one hand, he was worried that the peace talks would be affected, and on the other hand, he was also worried about King Hui's safety. If the Yuan army also killed the envoys to retaliate, what should we do?Even if the peace talks can continue to progress, I'm afraid that after this change, Yuan Jun will put forward harsher and more humiliating conditions.
