After the salted fish is married

Blood sacrifice

Xiao Ling was very tough. If he used brute force to extract a confession, not only would he not be able to pry his mouth open, but it would also make him more and more silent.But now a big hole has been opened in his heart, he can ask anything he wants.

Yan Ke let go of his hand, and Xiao Ling fell to his knees on the gravel.The sharp stones sank deep into his knees, and drops of bright red blood fell to the ground.However, Xiao Ling seemed to feel no pain. He threw his head on the ground and cried bitterly: "I'm guilty. I was disloyal, filial, benevolent, and unrighteous. I killed my brothers!"

Ji Song didn't want to hear the useless howling, he stared at Xiao Ling coldly: "Who is he you are talking about?"

After sobbing for a while, Xiao Ling said painfully: "It is... the current fifth prince, Ji Yu, Ji Wenguang."

Ji Song sneered: "It really is him." The fifth prince, Ji Yu, is really a silent dog that can bite people.

Hearing Ji Yu's name, Ji Song was not surprised.Before, Xiao Qi said that he once saw Cang Feng in Ji Yu's house, and from then on, he vaguely felt that his broken leg had something to do with Ji Yu.

Xiao Ling joined the Chi Ling Army when he was young, and when he became a thousand householder, Ji Song investigated his background.Xiao Ling's father was an ordinary hunter, and his mother was a peasant woman.The Xiao family lived in poverty, that's why he joined the Chi Ling Army.What puzzled Ji Song was: How could Xiao Ling have a relationship with Ji Yu?

Even though the weather wasn't too cold, Yan Xining felt a chill in her heart: "Ji Yu is so scary." Ji Songyuan was thousands of miles away to protect his family and country, and Ji Yu set up a trap for Ji Song for his own selfishness, which made Ji Yu feel terrible. Broken leg.

Of course, Ji Yu's goal had been achieved. After Ji Song's legs were broken, the court situation had indeed changed, and Ji Yu had a bright future.It's just that when he hurt Ji Song, he didn't take the safety of the people into consideration at all. Fortunately, the Chi Ling Army is a hardened lion, so they can stabilize the situation without Ji Song in charge.If a weaker army is replaced, Liangzhou will be in danger, Chu and Liao will be in danger!

Yan Ke and the others couldn't calm down: "How much money does Ji Yu give you to sell your brother and country?!"

Xiao Ling shook his head again and again: "I never thought of betraying my brother, let alone my country. Ji Yu said that he would arrange for his own people to ambush here, and he said that he would not hurt the lives of the brothers!"

Yan Ke felt the blood rushing to his head quickly, he raised his foot and kicked Xiao Ling over: "Xiao Ling! I don't blame you for your lack of brains, but why are you so messed up in this kind of thing?! You Anyway, he is someone who has been on the battlefield. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Ji Yu has never even been on the battlefield. Where can he find a group of "his own people" who can trap the elite division of the Chiling Army? Think about it with your dog brain! "

Xiao Ling whimpered: "He has never lied to me before..."

Ji Song took a deep breath to subdue his anger. At this moment, there was no warmth in his eyes. Looking at Xiao Ling was like looking at a dead person: "What's your relationship with Ji Yu? When and where did he buy you? Are there any contacts in between? "

Xiao Ling's voice was hoarse: "Ji Yu... is my cousin, and his mother and my mother are sisters."

Ji Song's pupils shrank suddenly, how could it be so? !In his investigation, wasn't Xiao Ling's mother an ordinary peasant woman?How could he have anything to do with Concubine Ning?

Xiao Ling hoarsely said: "My mother and Ji Yu's mother, Ning Concubine, have been dependent on each other since childhood. According to seniority, Ning Concubine is my aunt. My aunt sold herself to the Wang family to support the family. At first she was just a cleaning girl, because she was meticulous in her work, She was transferred to the courtyard of the second miss of the Wang family. Later, she became the dowry maid of the second miss by accident."

The Second Miss of the Wang family is the current Concubine Yue, the mother of Ji Liu.Later, when Ji Song found out, Emperor Pingyuan got drunk and favored Concubine Yue's maid, and then there was Ji Yu, and the maid became Concubine Ning.

Xiao Ling said bitterly: "Although my aunt sold herself to the Wang family, she never forgot my mother. Even though she had a difficult life in the palace, she never cut off the relief. If there was no aunt, my mother would have starved to death long ago. Relying on my aunt, my mother can grow up."

"Later when my mother married my father, my aunt often asked someone to deliver things. My mother often said to me that my aunt and cousin have saved our family. I don't have to honor her, but I have to respect my aunt. Listen to your cousin."

Ji Song just thought it was ridiculous: "Then you can rely on Ji Yu and the others to make a good living, why come to the Chi Ling Army?" It's not easy to be stationed in the frontier. The days of narrow escapes.

Xiao Ling bowed her body and knelt down: "Later, my mother fell ill and passed away, and my father moved and remarried. During that time, the house was in a mess, and my aunt lost contact with us."

"My stepmother was nice to me at first, but after my younger brothers were born, my life at home became more and more difficult. Later, the family couldn't support us, so I joined the army with the hunters in the village."

A chill flashed in Ji Song's eyes, so that's the case, no wonder why he didn't find any clues when he did the investigation at the beginning, it turned out that there was such a dusty past in it.

Xiao Ling was filial. When he was in the army, his mantra was "My mother said...". How can such a person who regards his mother's words as an imperial decree expect him to be loyal and filial?Subconsciously, the words of Xiao Ling's biological mother had already penetrated into his bones. As long as Ji Yu said a word, Xiao Ling was willing to die for him.

Ji Song suddenly felt ironic and ridiculous. Xiao Ling looked like a child when he joined the Chi Ling Army.If it weren't for the soldiers to take care of him, would he have grown up safely?Fortunately, the soldiers all said that Xiao Ling was honest and honest, but they never expected that he would be a white-eyed wolf who didn't know what to expect.

Ji Song paused every word and his voice was cold: "And then? After you joined the Chi Ling Army, when did Ji Yu contact you?"

Xiao Ling choked up and said, "Yes... I went home for the first time after I became a thousand householder. Because I missed my old home, I went around the original house, and then Ji Yu contacted me."

Xiao Ling was not doing well at that time, and when he returned home, he found that there was no place for him in that home.So he wandered around the old house, trying to find the warmth of returning home.Unexpectedly, after wandering around, they found their blood relatives.

It would be a lie to say that he was not excited. When he saw Ji Yu for the first time, Xiao Ling wept with joy. He never thought that there were his relatives in this world, let alone that that person was Ji Yu, his mother's nephew who was still thinking about her when she was dying.

Ji Yu was only a teenager at that time, and even though he was a prince, his life was very difficult.But he treated Xiao Ling very well. He bought his old house in Xiao Ling's name.Hearing that Xiao Ling was serving as a thousand households in the Chi Ling Army, he even gave him a precious Costinus.

Ji Song sneered, he took care of Xiao Ling no less than Ji Yu, it was ridiculous that Xiao Ling would do such a stupid thing for Xiao En Xiaohui.At this moment, his heart was full of anger. If he had known about the relationship between Xiao Ling and Ji Yu, he would have paid attention to it, and he would not have planted such a big disaster.

Xiao Ling couldn't raise his head: "Ji Yu said that even though he is the prince, he is not doing well in the palace, the prince and the second prince don't like him at all. If I accidentally expose the relationship between us, it will be very difficult. It might cause unnecessary trouble. And I felt at the time that one should not forget one's roots, and I wanted to earn military merit through my own efforts, so that I could repay my aunt and Ji Yu's kindness in the future."

Yan Ke gritted his teeth: "What a kindness! Have you forgotten the surname Xiao? If there were no brothers, your dog's life would have died on the battlefield long ago. If it weren't for the master to take good care of you, you think you can survive on the battlefield. Survived in the army?! Ji Yu tricked you around with a house and a bird, and you threw the things we usually said to you to the dogs?!"

If the master didn't want to ask questions, he would definitely send this dog thief on his way.

Xiao Ling lowered his head and sobbed: "Before the ambush happened, he never lied to me. He did everything he promised me. Before that, I trusted him as much as I trusted the coach and my brothers. I never Suspected him!"

The guards present were itching their teeth with hatred: "Brothers never doubted you!" Knowing that Xiao Ling was trapped, Ji Song led people to rescue him.

Forget it, during the period when Xiao Ling disappeared and Ji Song was paralyzed, the brothers in the army were still worried about Xiao Ling.Worried that he was captured alive by the enemy and tortured, worried that he died in an unknown place.

If he knew the truth would be like this, the brothers would only spit at him one by one.An ungrateful dog thief deserves to be cut to death.

Ji Song mocked: "Ning Concubine's feeding and drinking to your mother and son is a kindness, isn't it kindness for the brothers of the Chiling Army to take care of you? You can repay your kindness, but why did you leak the Chiling Army's military situation to Ji Yu?" ? Your so-called repayment means becoming Ji Yu's pawn and trapping brothers to death?"

Xiao Ling was full of remorse, and he kowtowed heavily in the direction of Jiashigu: "I killed my brothers, I deserve to die!"

Xiao Ling is so pitiful and pathetic, but there is something hateful about a poor person.He can shed tears here, where can the Chiling Army brothers who died because of him cry for grievances?

Ji Song didn't want to waste his words with this wolf-hearted person anymore, he said in a cold and condescending voice, "Tell me the details of how Ji Yu will be arranged and who he will contact with, without any omission."

Now that Xiao Ling has no need to hide anything, he only hates himself for being simple-minded and committing a catastrophe.Facing everyone's disappointed eyes, Xiao Ling was full of regret, but he really couldn't answer the few questions Ji Song asked.

When Ji Yu needed him to do something, he would put the note next to the stone on his patrol road.He had never met a connector, and he always thought that there were Ji Yu's men in the Chiling Army.It wasn't until Ji Song and the others were in danger at the Shizi River that Xiao Ling suddenly woke up - there was no Ji Yu in Chi Ling's army, and it was Totlan, the confidant of the second prince of Liao Xia, who joined him all along!

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, the anger in everyone's hearts reached its peak.Yan Ke and the others yelled: "As long as you use your brain a little bit, you will know that something is wrong!"

How can a prince in the capital trap the elite troops in the frontier?Apart from collaborating with the enemy and treason, no one can think of a second reason.However, Xiao Ling was so stupid as to ignore what was wrong, and still had the illusion that things were under control.

Ji Song watched Xiao Ling calmly. To be honest, it was not the first time he had been betrayed.With many people in the army, it is inevitable that there will be factional disputes, but Xiao Ling's betrayal impressed him the most.Xiao Ling was brought out by him alone. Before that, he always thought that he knew him well.

Xiao Ling is indeed a loyal, filial and upright person, but his loyalty and filial piety were given to Ji Yu, and his sincerity is just a lack of brains.

Ji Songhan said in a cold voice, "Have you written it all down? Let him mark it down." As soon as he finished speaking, the guard on one side walked up to Xiao Ling holding two pieces of paper full of testimony.

The words on the rice paper are clear, and every word is ironclad evidence.Xiao Ling took the two testimonies with shaking hands. He quickly glanced at the testimonies and looked up at Ji Song.But of course when he saw Ji Song's eyes clearly, all the words got stuck in his throat.

In his memory, Ji Song only had this look when he looked at enemies and dead people, and when he treated his comrades, Ji Song's eyes were always full of trust.

A cold air rose from his heart, and Xiao Ling had never felt so scared before.He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that his brothers will look at him with the eyes of the enemy.Yet, if you look at yourself, what he did is simply unforgivable.

Ji Song said coldly: "Painting."

Xiao Ling shivered suddenly, he dipped his blood in his shaking hands and pressed his fingerprints on the testimony.The guard took the testimony back and carefully handed it to Ji Song. Ji Song stared sharply at the bloody handprints on the testimony, his eyes gradually stained with murderous intent.

Xiao Ling still had one last prayer in his heart: "Commander, I know that I have committed an unforgivable crime. You can kill or cut as you please. But can you not be here... not in Jiashi Valley."

Chu Liao is so big, with so many barren hills.Whether you let him expose the corpse in the wilderness or hang it for public display, he will recognize it.But only Jiashigu can't do it here. If he died here, how could he face so many brothers who were killed by him?

Ji Song folded up the confession and said indifferently: "If you don't die here, the souls of the brothers will be in trouble."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling staggered up from the ground and ran towards the outside of Jiashi Valley, but his knees were bloodied and he was blocked from moving, and Yan Ke was merciless when he greeted him just now.After running a few times, he tripped over the rocks under his feet and fell to the ground. Even so, he still struggled to climb out.

How could the guards allow him to escape?Immediately, Han Jin and Wang Chunfa stepped forward and grabbed his ankle and dragged him backward.

Xiao Ling struggled fiercely: "Don't! Don't!" Seeing that he couldn't break free from the restraint, he picked up a fist-sized sharp stone from the ground with one hand and threw it at his temple.

Before it was too late, Yan Kefei kicked the stone in Xiao Ling's hand away.He sneered and said: "I didn't expect that I was really wrong. You are a coward who dares to do what you don't dare to do. Go down and make amends to your brothers! Have you seen it? They are here, and they are waiting to see what happens to you!"

Xiao Ling struggled frantically: "No, don't die here! Please, let me die somewhere else!"

The reason why he brought Xiao Ling to Shizihe was to sacrifice his dead brothers with his blood.The brothers didn't want to die with peace in their eyes, so how could Xiao Ling bargain.Yan Ke draws out his long knife with a murderous look: "Brothers suffer a thousand times more than you when they die, they have no right to choose at all!"

The next moment, the bright knife light illuminated Xiao Ling's eyes, and the sharp long knife drew a bright arc and went straight to his head.At this moment, the time became long, and the surrounding voices became blurred. Xiao Ling couldn't move, and could only watch the knife approaching him.

In a daze, he saw a group of people behind Yan Ke, and when he looked intently, he saw that group of people riding on tall horses.There seemed to be a layer of mist on their faces, and as the mist gradually dispersed, Xiao Ling's eyes were terrified.These people are the brothers who died tragically in Jiashi Valley!

Standing in the front is Han Jijun, the one who blocked the knife for him.Lao Han and the others looked at themselves indifferently, completely losing their usual gentleness.

He has never regretted it so much, these people are his comrades, brothers and sisters who have had a life-long relationship with him.They were supposed to drink and eat meat together, but because of their own reasons, they lost their lives in the wilderness.

He had never been so afraid before. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of everyone's indifferent and alienated eyes.

How should he make up for the mistakes he made, and how should he say sorry to everyone?Even if you say sorry, can everyone forgive him?

The long knife cut across, and Xiao Ling's head fell off.The heavy head fell to the ground and rolled around, the blood from the neck splashed several feet.Xiao Ling's eyes were wide open, and the remaining emotions dissipated little by little.

The corners of Ji Song's mouth curled up coldly, his fingers trembling slightly.

He closed his eyes with a complex expression, an expression of pleasure and pain intertwined.
