In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Furen and his party took the grassland controlled by the Beidi people, bypassed Zhongshan country and returned to Yan country, trembling and cautiously for half a month before entering the territory of Yan country.

The northern part of Yan State borders the grassland and the border is sparsely populated. Yan State built a Great Wall to prevent the grassland Di people from entering and looting. However, there is no Great Wall at the border between Zhongshan and Yan State. They are Baidi barbarians, but under the influence of the civilization of the Huaxia princes in the Central Plains, most of them are farming, and the system is similar to that of the Central Plains princes. Therefore, compared with the Di people who just plunder, Yan Guo actually pays more attention to the defense of Zhongshan.

However, at this time, Furen and his party entered Yan from the border between Zhongshan State and Yan State. Along the way, they saw that the city was in ruins and deserted. In dilapidated houses, there are many corpses exposed on the road. It is as formal as there is a poem in later generations: bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.

Furen has been at the border for a long time, dealing with Rong and Di people a lot, how can he not see that this is the result of the army breaking through the city and looting, this is not the border between Qi and Yan, but there is such a tragic situation, there is only one way The explanation is that Zhongshan State fell into trouble and ransacked the border of Yan State.

Furen held the reins tightly, and kept silent all the way, just riding the horse so quietly, stepping over the scorched corpses everywhere, his face seemed to be thawed, and his whole body was as cold as ice, so that everyone dared not breathe One sound.

Xia Yu saw that the servant was like this, her heart was sore, but she didn't say anything, and after riding the horse for half a day, Xia Yu frowned suddenly, and rode forward to rein in the servant's horse, saying: "I can't go any longer. , detour."

Convincing people were restrained by Xia Yu's horse's head, and turned to look at Xia Yu. The cold and sharp eyes made Xia Yu's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but want to take a step back, but then Xia Yu gritted his teeth and died. Holding the bridle of the submissive mount, he said, "We must make a detour. Can't you see that the traces of arson here are very new? I'm afraid the looters are nearby, and our numbers are too small to confront the enemy directly."

Fu Ren's face seemed to be frozen, but under this layer of "ice", there seemed to be something violently fluctuating. Fu Ren's cheek muscles were trembling, and his fists were trembling. Fu Ren sat on the horse, motionless , as if turning into a stone statue, but Xia Yu clearly felt that something was breaking inside this "stone statue".

When Xia Yu and Furen were in a stalemate, there was a wailing sound, and from a collapsed thatched hut, a man in half-clothes and covered in mud came out, holding something in his arms, and wailing from there. Crawl out of the collapsed hut.

This sudden situation broke the stalemate between Furen and Xia Yu, Furen seemed to be awakened suddenly, jumped off the horse, took three steps at a time, and quickly walked to the hut to help the struggling people.

I saw the man wailing and crying: "Save my child, save my child."

Hearing this, Furen looked down at the man holding the quilt in his arms, opened the backpack, and Furen froze for a moment. The bag that was wrapped in a rough linen quilt full of patches was impressively five or six years old. The child, but the neck has been cut off, and only a little flesh is still attached, so he is already dead.

Looking at the dead body of the child that had turned purple, he raised his head tremblingly to see the screaming man who was holding the child. He was obviously the father of the child. He was naked, and the skin under the rough clothes was covered with bruises. , eyes full of madness.

Convincing people is not a child who is ignorant of human affairs. I have seen this situation many times when I was guarding against the Shanrong at the border, and I knew it instantly-this person did not hide carefully to avoid looting, but was..., so he escaped He got his life, but his son was not so lucky, he had already been killed, but this person is now on the verge of madness, so he still thinks that his son is still alive.

It's not the first time Furen has encountered this kind of situation, but never has Furen felt so heartbroken, so...unbearable.

Looking at the man who was wailing frantically and begging for help for his son, he shivered and covered the burlap quilt that wrapped the child's body, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word as if his throat was choked.

At this time, Xia Yu, who had been "looking" at the surrounding area, seemed to have seen something, looked at the convincing back, her eyes were full of unbearable, but she still took a step forward, gritted her teeth and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we must leave quickly. "

Hearing Xia Yu's words, the convincing face that was still trembling and red instantly turned cold, as if frozen, looked at the crazy man, and said softly: "Your child is sick, let's take him to see Witch doctor, come with us, we will cure your child."

After the convincing person spoke for a long time, the crazy man was dumbfounded, and only lit up when the convincing person said the last sentence "We will cure your child", then nodded obediently, and said: "Save my son, I will with you."

Seeing the situation, Xia Yu had too many intense and complex emotions flashing across her eyes in an instant, and finally turned into pain, and swallowed back in her eyes instantly, turning her head to look at Qi Lu who was following behind.

Needless to say, Qi Lu, who was following behind, already understood the meaning in Xia Yu's eyes, stepped forward a few steps, and said convincingly: "Prince, leave it to me."

The convincing man glanced at Qi Lu, let go of the crazy man he was supporting, and handed it over to Qi Lu. Qi Lu was tall, supporting the man who was holding his child's corpse, he comforted him, saying: "We save Your child, we will take your child to see the witch doctor."

The man was crazy and foolish, after hearing this, he happily followed Qi Lu's guidance and left.

Seeing that Qi Lu coaxed the crazy man away to resettle him, Xia Yu closed his eyes slightly, suppressed the emotions that were gushing out of those eyes, then opened his eyes to look at the man, and said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Furen nodded, standing there looking at the village that had been burned into scorched earth, looking at the scattered and exposed corpses, nodding his head continuously, and then, suddenly, Furen knelt down and knelt down on the ground , roaring: "This is my country! This is my people!"

Heart-piercing, looking like a madman, he raised his hands and howled like hell, saying: "This is my country!!! This is my people!!! This is my country!!! !THIS IS MY PEOPLE!!!”

Roaring to the end, I was crying, tears running down my rough and dark cheeks, finally, something cracked, something made this man who had been as calm as a mountain collapse, and I was crying with tears, like A wounded lion was mad, howling, and beating the ground frantically with its fists, knowing that the flesh was being worn away by the sand and stones on the ground, and the blood was dripping, revealing thick white bones.

In the end, Furen curled up on the ground, wept, gritted his teeth and said, "This is my country, my people."

Xia Yu stood there, looking at the convincing person, many things that were barely suppressed spewed out again, Xia Yu clenched his fist slightly, and couldn't help asking himself over and over again: Did I do something wrong?Am I doing something wrong?

Xia Yu clutched his hands a little uneasy, and finally took a deep breath, walked to Furen's side, knelt down, stretched out his arms to hug Furen, and said, "I know...I know that our country of Yan is on the brink of death. I know that you can't bear to see the people suffer from war, but... But now we can only make a difference if we return to Jidu as soon as possible, we can't stay here."

Fu Ren was panting heavily, his hands were dripping with blood. After the madness passed, he looked like a collapsed dog, but his eyes lit up a bit strangely after the madness. Looking at Xia Yu, he suddenly hugged Xia Yu with those bloody hands, hugging him tightly, with such strength that it hurt Xia Yu's ribs.

Furen's eyes were very bright at this time, a little poisonously bright, and Furen looked at Xia Yu with these poisonously bright eyes at this time, Xia Yu couldn't help trembling, but no matter whether his body was in the The trembling Xia Yu's eyes remained motionless and looked back firmly at the convincing person.

Then, finally, Fu Ren slowly calmed down, and his expression became hard again, like a sharp stone, with sharp edges and corners giving the illusion of scratching people.

The servant let go of Xia Yu, stood up, turned around and walked towards his mount.

Perhaps it was because Furen hugged him too tightly just now, so that Xia Yu was a little out of breath. Now that he let go, Xia Yu couldn't help taking a sharp breath. During this suffocation and breath, he couldn't help but feel Feeling dizzy and nearly falling, Xia Yu subconsciously put his hands on the ground to support his body. At this time, Yang Zhisun, who had been following Xia Yu's side like a shadow, immediately stretched out his hand to help Xia Yu. , subconsciously looking at Furen's back, Yang Zhisun's usual expressionless face flashed a stern look.

A group of Zhongshan troops ransacked this Yan country village, and were returning along the way they came. A leading general said to their chief general a little uneasy: "Is it appropriate for us to do this? Your majesty also has the chief assistant." Didn’t minister Gongsun Qi strictly order us not to harass the border of Yan State?”

The leading general snorted coldly with disdain on his face and said: "Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, how could he know about the border affairs? Gongsun Qi is a guy who only knows how to play tricks, he is full of etiquette and morality, and imitates the behavior of those Central Plains people. There is even a little bit of heroism from our ancestors! Look at the country of Yan, I heard that the country of Qi is going to attack their capital, and seeing that the country of Yan is about to perish, don’t we see the fat on our lips and not eat it?”

The leading general said, and with the whip he held in his hand, he tapped the group of Yan Guo young men who were pressed behind this group of Zhongshan soldiers, who were tied up like zongzi, and said: "If we are not happy, Just start, these will be snatched by the people of Qi, almost half a year ago, we lost 5 people in the hands of Yan, and there is a lack of people for farming in the country, so we just use slaves from Yan to make up for it."

Seeing what the master said, the lieutenant general who made the statement sighed and didn't say anything more. At this time, the sergeants and generals of the Zhongshan Kingdom didn't know that if they had entered this place in the morning, they would be able to intercept the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom. Hui Ji, if this is the case, many things will not happen in the future, and the history of this time and space will become very different.
