Changfeng has a place to return

Once the Yan army breaks through the city gate, there will be no suspense about the outcome of this battle.Standing on the cliff, Liu Xian'an watched as the army first poured into the city like a dark tide, and then divided into different tributaries, continuing to rush towards different streets and alleys in all directions.The sky was cloudy and there were faint thunderclaps from time to time. The soldier at the side said: "Master Liu, it's going to rain heavily here, let's go back quickly."

Liu Xian'an agreed with his mouth, but his body was extremely dawdling, and he stretched his neck to look at it for a long time, until the billowing black clouds were almost pressing down on the top of his head, then he took Aning and the soldiers to trot all the way down the mountain.

He couldn't wait to go to Qingyang City, so he rejected the proposal of "find a cave to shelter from the rain", and ran down the mountain under the crackling raindrops, and got into the carriage in no time.At this time, it was raining heavily in the mountains, and the loud thunder almost pierced through the roof of the carriage. The coachman, wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, raised his hand and whipped his horse, leading him into the downpour.

Even Aning didn't bring it, because the pony carriage couldn't hold two people.

When we arrived, the whole war was drawing to a close.

Dayan's garrison guarded both sides of the city gate, Liu Xian'an stuck his head out of the carriage and asked them, "Where is the prince?"

"It's right there." After pointing the way, a small soldier carefully reminded him in a low voice, "But the prince seems to be... in a bad mood. If Mr. Liu is not in a hurry, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Liu Xian'an was puzzled, after winning the battle, why was he in a bad mood?After he thanked the driver, he asked the coachman to continue driving into the city. At this time, the sky was still raining heavily, but the thick smoke around him had not dissipated. The air was filled with the pungent smell of kerosene, which made people start to feel creepy for no reason.Turning another street corner, the driving horse suddenly neighed in fright, raised its hooves high and then lowered them, and paced anxiously in place.

The coachman hurriedly tightened the reins, Liu Xian'an opened the curtain, and saw that the long street was full of corpses lying in disorder, regardless of gender, regardless of age, all piled up together, all with their eyes wide open, their wounds were still being wounded. Bleeding, the whole city was painted bright red.

Liu Xian'an suddenly understood, where did the weird chill come from just now, it was too quiet, the city was too quiet, so quiet that there was no human voice, even crying and begging for mercy could not be heard.

Liang Shu stood on the other side of the long street and saw the carriage.He frowned slightly, and wanted the guards to take the man out of the city first, but Liu Xian'an had already jumped to the ground, and the carriage couldn't get over, so he stepped over the corpse and walked forward, like the hem of a snow coat dragging blood, and soon became Different shades of red.Liang Shu's pupils shrank, and Gao Lin was also startled. He hurriedly ran over to pick him up with an umbrella, and asked in a low voice, "Why is Second Master Liu here?"

After asking, he used a lower voice, gritted his teeth and said, "These grandsons didn't fight us head-on at all."

After being disrupted by the dumb vultures from the sky, the leader of the rebel army knew that there was no hope of defending the city, so he turned around and returned to the city with his team. During the period before the Yan army had completely entered, he did two things——

Burn out food and grass.

Kill all the people.

Under the extreme hatred, anger and fear, human nature is so fragile that it is vulnerable to a single blow. When the fire is ignited, when the butcher's knife is held high, the meaning of the innocent people in the city to the rebels is just a tool to demonstrate to the Yan army. What's even more absurd is that they may also be full of blood because of this massacre, and proud of the successful expression of self-resisting consciousness.Summer insects are indescribable. When narrowness, ignorance and cruelty collide with the so-called "righteousness", even the biggest rainstorm can't wash away the evils.

Liu Xian'an walked in front of Liang Shu, his whole body was drenched, his hair was sticking to his face indiscriminately, his skin looked paler and paler.Liang Shu pulled his wrist and brought him into the empty temple. This place was originally the most desolate and dilapidated place in the whole city, but now it is a clean place because no one lives there.The guards lit a bonfire, Liang Shu wrapped him in a cloak, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

"...I want to take a look." Liu Xian'an didn't know how to answer.When standing on the mountain, he witnessed a battle for the first time. He was still shocked by the silver dumb vultures all over the sky, the black black armor all over the ground, and the magnificent momentum played by the military drums and lightning and thunder, so he couldn't wait to fight. Come to share with Liang Shu, but now, he is covered in blood.

The war was far more brutal than imagined. Even such a quick, small-scale siege would cause enough casualties to make the entire Dayan Dynasty mourn.Life and death in the way of heaven are no different, it is a spiritual pursuit of complete freedom, a poet can be buried under a peach tree, he can go drunk and never return, but he cannot die with a long sword or despair.

Liu Xian'an wrapped his cloak tightly, stretched out his hand, and wiped off a little blood on Liang Shu's face.

The fire dispelled the chill, and the soldiers walking back and forth outside also made the place a bit more noisy.Liang Shu's brain continued to be stabbed, he pulled himself together and said, "Take a rest here, I'll send someone to send you out of the city."

Liu Xian'an looked at him: "There will definitely be such a day in the future."

Liang Shu asked, "Really?"

Liu Xian'an nodded.

Liang Shu sighed: "You are [-] years old, so don't lie to others."

"No lie. Not only will everyone have a full stomach, but everyone will be able to study."

Food and clothing, literacy and courtesy, then civilization will eventually defeat barbarism, and people will have more time to think.Liu Xian'an didn't know if he could fly [-] zhang, but he felt that one day in the future, someone would be able to reach the moon and pick up the stars.

Liang Shu was actually suffering from a splitting headache and didn't have the energy to do any thinking, but after listening to him say a few words, the depression in his heart could dissipate a little, so he responded.Liu Xian'an tested the temperature of his forehead with the back of his finger, Liang Shu turned his head away, and only asked, "Is there a cure for headache?"

"Yes, but it's only for emergency." Liu Xian'an took out a small bag of silver needles, "Sit still and don't talk."

Liang Shu leaned against the pillar and closed his eyes.

As soon as Gao Lin came in, he saw that Second Young Master Liu was hugging his lord's head, so he turned around and walked out without saying a word.Liang Shu had already heard the movement, and said, "Come back!"

Liu Xian'an also stood up straight and turned around.

Only then did Gao Lin see clearly, oh, it turned out to be acupuncture.

Acupuncture and moxibustion can't be said, otherwise, it would only add to the illness. He wanted to say a few words casually, but Liang Shu asked himself: "Where is Lu Xiang?"

"...locked himself up and secretly wrote notes." Gao Lin had no choice but to say, "I guess it's not a good fart."

Although Qingyang City was captured, the attack was too brutal. Even if the imperial court did not blame it, it would certainly not praise it.Lu Xiang was afraid that he would become the one who was full of grievances, so he simply acted first. In the excerpt, he described in detail that His Royal Highness Xiao Wang refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on changing the first attack on Sanshui City to the first attack on Qingyang City. After writing the whole story that led to the massacre, I added a few impassioned statements at the end, and after reading it several times, I felt safe, so I put the secret letter in my sleeve and walked out as if nothing had happened.

Gao Lin was leading someone to guard the door with a knife.

Lu Xiang's complexion changed: "What does Lieutenant Gao mean?"

Gao Lin said: "Your Highness, Commander Lu, please come over."

Lu Xiang looked at the shining long knives all over the yard, stood still, and after a long while, he said with a livid face: "Does the prince want to take the blame on me? Although the people in Qingyang City failed to save them, they are rebels." The emperor may not be dissatisfied because of this, why did the prince find a scapegoat so early, it would make people laugh if it was spread."

Gao Lin shook his head: "Why did the people in Qingyang City fail to keep them? Since Huang Wangxiang raised the flag on Gaoliang Mountain, Commander Lu probably asked for money from the imperial court a lot, right? A mere villager can win the attention of tens of thousands of garrison troops. The bottom grows stronger, is it because he has all-hands and eyes, or is Commander Lu unwilling to suppress this god of wealth? If the rebels were suppressed from the very beginning, why would there be chaos in the three cities today, and the death of the people!"

Lu Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Lieutenant Gao, don't spit blood!"

Gao Lin raised his hand and threw a thick stack of account books in front of him, "Commander Lu thought it was early, but the prince has endured all the way. If it didn't take time to find these things, Commander Lu didn't have to lock himself in the house the other day. , deliberately making up stories for the court, come here, take it down!"

"Presumptuous!" Lu Xiang drew out his long sword, "I am personally appointed by the emperor—"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked back into the room by Gao Lin.The two are both generals, but one is lazy and only focuses on making money, while the other spends all day rolling in the windy sand nest in the northwest. Although Lu Xiang knew that he was not Gao Lin's opponent, he did not expect that the other party could be so rampant, and he did not pay attention to the court at all. Dazed for a moment, he shouted and threatened: "Could it be that King Xiao wants to rebel!"

"You dare to think about it." Gao Lin squatted in front of him, "Let's be honest, the emperor's people found out all the evidence of corruption, and they have already sent the copy back to Wangcheng. Commander Lu, after your crime was exposed , not only did not want to repent, but even tried to provoke the brotherhood between the emperor and the prince, it is really a dead end."

Lu Xiang turned pale: "Your Majesty?"

"It's okay if you can't figure it out now, you can go to prison and think about it slowly in the future." Gao Lin stood up, ordered someone to tie him up and put him down.

But even if Lu Xiang calmed down in prison, he might not be able to figure out why the emperor's people suddenly appeared in Qingyang City, and they were still used by King Xiao. Could it be that he had doubts about himself a long time ago?

Relying on his poor imagination, he probably won't understand until his death that those strong men in front of the imperial court were only here to watch the blind date.

Lieutenant Li, who felled the wood all the way, was also tied up in front of Gao Lin by Wuhuada. He was less intimidated than Lu Xiang, and soon confessed that he had filled his own pocket in the name of grain collection, and also confessed a bunch of accomplices.This group of silverfish was gathered in an open space in the city, kneeling in front of a dark object for three days, two days of heavy rain and one day of sun exposure, until their lips were chapped and passed out, and they didn't know what they were kowtowing to.

Aning also asked: "What is it?"

Liu Xian'an said: "It's the dog in Xiaozhao Village that was killed by officers and soldiers."

Without knowing it, Ah Ning tore off a piece of barbecue and wanted to feed it to a young man who was chained and was extremely hungry. Only later did he find out that it was his dog.Later, the meat was taken away by Liang Shu. After being dried, it looked like a black stone. It was exposed to the sun and rain and still did not rot. It was placed on a high platform until the fish and meat of the common people knelt for three days and their heads fell to the ground. Only then was Gao Lin wrapped in a piece of cloth, dug a hole and buried it properly.

Liang Shu didn't want Liu Xian'an to see these things, but the Second Young Master Liu didn't say "that's okay" at this time.

Stay in the city, hold it in your hand, and refuse to leave.
