after being kidnapped by the general

Chu Hechao was breathing heavily, as if he didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

The breeze was blowing, with the heat blowing on the face, suffocating dizzily.

Eunuch Yang choked up and told the story.

The king of Chu and the Yang family planned to escape from Luoyang before the death of Emperor Jianyuan, but Luoyang closed the city gate when Emperor Jianyuan was seriously ill.Li Li was very ambitious. He had already sent someone to keep an eye on Chu Wang and his wife to prevent them from leaving the city.Because Chu Hechao was in northern Xinjiang, with an army of 13 under his command, Li Li was afraid that Chu Hechao would deal with him, so he planned to use Chu Wang and his wife to hold Chu Hechao hostage, so that Chu Hechao would not dare to act rashly.

If this is the case, the Chu king and his wife will not die.

Li Li never dared to let Chu Wang and his wife die.Even if Chu Hechao was not filial by nature, he had to pretend to be filial and obey Li Li's words. But if Chu Wang and his wife were dead, it would be logical for Chu Hechao to use this as an excuse to attack him.

Li Li was quite polite to the Chu king and his wife, but Li Li didn't expect that the eunuch would also take action on the Chu king and his wife.

When Chu Mingfeng died, there were eunuchs who went to mourn the funeral, but they were driven out by Chu Hechao's troops.The eunuch harbored hatred, so he tampered with the military rations given to Beijiang by Emperor Jianyuan, and gave Chu Hechao rations that had been soaked in water.

After Emperor Jianyuan became seriously ill, no one could support them anymore.The eunuch was flustered, worried that Chu Hechao would retaliate against them, so he threatened Chu Wang and his wife to write a letter to Chu Hechao, ordered Chu Hechao to write a letter of surrender to the eunuch, and asked Chu Hechao to write a letter of surrender to the eunuch. Chao promised in the letter that he would not do anything to the eunuch, but would obey the eunuch.

They were too greedy. They just thought that with the support of Chu Hechao and the 13 troops from Northern Xinjiang, they would definitely be able to defeat their relative Li Li and support the puppet emperor.

But Chu Wang and his wife couldn't bear such insult.

Their eldest son was killed by the eunuch and died.How can the second son bear the notoriety of being a eunuch's running dog and be scolded by the world, making himself the weak point to hold the second son hostage?

The King of Chu has an upright and resolute temperament, and the Yang family is also soft on the outside and strong on the inside.They calmly chose the road of loyalty, and in the end they just let the loyal servants take the daughters of the mansion to Ruyang after all the hardships. After drinking a cup of poisoned wine in the room, he went to Huangquan to accompany the eldest son.

When she drank the poisoned wine, Yang was relieved, because she missed her eldest son too much, and she had lived long enough.But when her consciousness gradually blurred, she looked at the things in the eldest son's room, and suddenly thought of Chu Hechao.

She suddenly felt a strong sense of regret.

Because she found that she could no longer remember what Chu Hechao looked like in the room, and the part about the second son in her memory was so scarce, only the second son's childhood and adult appearance.Before she died, she realized how much she had done wrong.

The only one she can't help but her second son Ciye.And what she can do for her second son is to die.

Eunuch Yang wept bitterly: "Before Madam died, let me tell you a word. She... she said, 'Mother is sorry for you, leave the house, and you must live well in the future. Mother will take a step first and go to accompany your brother'." "

Although Eunuch Yang is an eunuch, he also has some relationship with the Yang clan. He came out of the palace in his early years and has nothing to do with the eunuchs in the prison house.Speaking of what these eunuchs did, he was also very sad.

Since Chu Hechao asked that question, he never spoke again.

The cries and shouts were chaotic, and the three young ladies from the Chu family who had escaped from the Chu Palace were also sobbing and wiping away their tears.

Yuan Song's face was exhausted, he walked forward in front of Chu Hechao ashamedly, and said in a low voice: "After the death of the prince and his wife, Li Li didn't dare to spread the news, for fear of letting you... He sent someone to arrest the prince. After the burial with my wife, I tried my best to transport the corpses of the King of Chu and his wife. However, the long journey and the hot weather made it impossible to bring the corpses to Youzhou, so I decided to place them next to your brother's grave... ...I only took three girls from the mansion to Youzhou. General... Yuan feels guilty."

Chu Hechao still didn't speak.

He was so quiet, so quiet that it was scary.

Many people focused their worried eyes on Chu Hechao. Eunuch Yang had fainted from grief and timidity, and the scene was even more chaotic.

People came and went, all kinds of cries and shouts were mixed together, and the lotus pods that had just been picked on the table were still dripping with dew, and they were dropped to the ground by someone's sleeve.

A year ago, the Chu Palace in Luoyang hung up a white cloth, and Chu Mingfeng left.A year later, white cloth was hung in the Chu family's village in Youzhou, and Chu Hechao's parents followed suit.

The croaking of cicadas and frogs in the manor were much less, and they seemed to understand the dead atmosphere in the manor, so they didn't even make a sound.

There are two empty coffins in the hall, and there are only the clothes of King Chu and Yang in them, which are the clothes they wore in Youzhou when they were young.

Even this was something that Chu Hechao had tried his best to find.

Many people came to mourn, and even more angry people.Everyone felt uncomfortable, their eyes were red, and they felt aggrieved.

Chu Hechao locked himself in the room and saw no one.

Yuanli made a bowl of noodles and brought them over to him.When he opened the door and entered, he saw Chu Hechao sitting on a chair, motionless like a stone sculpture.

There was no wind in the room, it was cramped and dull, and it was dark.

Yuanli's Adam's apple twitched, he closed the door, and walked to Chu Hechao with his face in his face, and sat down.I touched the pot of water, it was full in the morning, and it is still full now, it is already cold.

He pursed his lips, took the chopsticks and put the noodles in front of Chu Hechao, with a soft voice, "Let's have some food."

Chu Hechao just sat there without making a sound.

He had a stubble on his face and was still in a motionless posture.Yuan Li didn't know if he had cried or not, but in the dim light, he saw his red eyes and the black eyes, and the almost breathless depression came from him, heavy.

Yuanli's eyes were sour, and he said in a low voice again: "Ci Ye, you can eat as much as you want."

Chu Hechao finally spoke, "Take it away."

His throat seemed broken, drenched in hoarseness.

Yuan Li still held up his chopsticks, and changed his address again: "Brother, you..."

"I said take it away!" Chu Hechao said angrily.

The chopsticks in Yuan Li's hand fell to the ground, and he stared blankly at Chu Hechao.

Seeing Yuanli's frightened appearance, Chu Hechao finally came to his senses. Grief, annoyance, and regret flashed across his face one by one. Yuanli hugged.

"I'm sorry," Chu Hechao said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, Le Jun, I didn't mean to kill you."

Yuan Li shook his head and said, "I know you're uncomfortable."

Chu Hechao hugged his arm hard, his eyes were red, and he almost choked up, "Why did they die?"

Why did he die suddenly?

Yuan Li felt depressed and uncomfortable, as if he was submerged in water and could not breathe.

He had no parents in his previous life, and his parents are still alive and well in this life. He doesn't know how it feels when his parents die, but he knows it will be very painful when he thinks about it.Chu Hechao must be so sad that this kind of pain is on Chu Hechao's body alone.

How can people die so easily?

In troubled times, it simply disappeared.

Even someone like the King of Chu died as easily as a grass.

Chu Hechao didn't say a word or cry since he knew his parents were dead.He would hug Yuan Li tightly, and the pain devoured his internal organs, submerging him bit by bit.He was buried in Yuanli's neck, and hot tears rolled down Yuanli's neck.

Yuan Li also cried without knowing it, and he hugged Chu Hechao back, "I'll be with you."

Chu Hechao tightly clutched the clothes on Yuanli's back, his fingers trembling.He hugged Yuanli as if he was hugging the last piece of driftwood.

Chu Mingfeng's death made a hole in his heart, and now the hole has been made even deeper.

Chu Hechao cared about his family members, but they all left one by one.

He only has Yuanli now.

There is only one yuan left.

In the room, Chu Hechao's tears of grief fell on Yuanli.After crying, he appeared in the lobby that night.

He knelt before the two coffins expressionlessly.

Even if there is no body of his parents inside, he will keep vigil for seven days.

At night, everyone dispersed, leaving only Chu Hechao in the lobby.

Yuan Li came back from his parents with a tired face.After seeing Chu Hechao, he walked over and knelt beside Chu Hechao.

Chu Hechao didn't move or make a sound.After waiting for a while, he said hoarsely: "Le Jun."

Yuan Li looked at him: "Huh?"

Chu Hechao lowered his eyes, looked at his hands, and said, "Am I being too stubborn, Keqin?"

Yuan Li was taken aback for a moment, and then anger surged from his heart, "Who said that!"

Chu Hechao was silent for a while, "Otherwise, how could I escape so many times and they all died one by one?"

One died, another died.

Yuan Li suddenly grabbed his hand and grabbed it vigorously, ignoring that there was no one outside, his face turned pale with anger, and he yelled, "Don't talk to me like that!"

His chest rose and fell quickly, "There is no such thing as life and death in this world, Chu Ciye, don't think about it! You still have a few younger sisters who have escaped, aren't they your relatives?!"

Chu Hechao didn't speak. After a long time, he moved his fingers and took Yuanli's hand.

A concubine who has never met a few times is not important to Chu Hechao.

He used so much force that Yuan Li's fingers rattled, but Yuan Li didn't feel any pain.Chu Hechao was the first to realize that something was wrong. He let go of his hand, wiped his face vigorously, raised his hand and stroked Yuanli's face with vigor, "Does it hurt? Why didn't you remind me?"

Yuan Li shook his head, nodded again, and said in a low voice, "Don't think too much about it."

Chu Hechao smiled wryly, "I'm afraid I'll kill you too."

Yuanli couldn't hold it back, tears flowed out directly.

The man bent down silently, wiping Yuan Li's tears with his fingers little by little, then hugged Yuan Li in his arms again, resting his chin on Yuan Li's head.

His stubble stuck on Yuanli's forehead, and he looked at the dark coffin in front of him.

The candle crackled and burned the flying insects, and the paper money was burning, emitting thick smoke. The thick smoke covered Chu Hechao's face, but it couldn't cover his sadness.

When there is a tragedy, people cry.Only crying can make you feel better, but except for the time when he cried on Yuanli's shoulder, Chu Hechao didn't cry during the whole process of burying the empty coffin.

The three young ladies of the Chu family were crying until their eyes were swollen into walnuts. They were crying not only for their father and mistress, but also for their biological mother who died together in Luoyang, and their confused future.

The person who sheltered them has already gone, but they are familiar with Chu Mingfeng, but they are not familiar with Chu Hechao. Chu Hechao's vicious name and unfamiliar Youzhou don't bring them any kindness or peace of mind, and they are panic-stricken All day long, uneasiness and bewilderment poured out in crying.

Yuan Li watched them cry, and occasionally thought, it would be great if Chu Hechao cried like this for a while.
