Chapter 515 Self-disclosure of scars (two chapters in one)
Eunuch Li looked sad, and read out the imperial decree to commend Mr. Xiao and Mr. Zhang again.
The defenders of the city were rewarded and a pension was added.
He also said that the emperor's kindness is great, and the Holy One feels that the border people are not easy, so he is exempted from hoarding money, food, taxes and taxes for one year.
The people in Huju were crying and kowtowing.
I don't know who started it, and started throwing wine jars on the ground.
Crash, clatter... smashed several jars in a row.
"Li Daqiang! Brother let you drink as much as you want, and in the next life, I will block the knife for you! Woooooo... Good brother, let's go!"
Someone took out a big pancake from home and put it on the ground.
"Son, look for the second master and the third master when you get down there, they are good officials, follow them, let's go!"
A woman, holding a child who was only as high as her thigh, picked off the white flowers on her head, tore them into fine pieces, and flung them into the air.
"Gousheng's father, I'm going to remarry with the child, don't worry, Gousheng won't change his surname, he will take your surname Wang!"
…
The scene went off track.
No, it can’t be said to be off track, but it seems that everyone has opened their mouths at this moment, telling their fears, their tragedies, and the dead people who are remembered by them, all in one go.
Yes, the high officials from the capital didn’t know about it.
They're going to talk, they're going to talk.
Everyone is scrambling.
"I inquired about it. The benefactor who saved my family was Zhao Youcai. He belonged to the city guards. He killed three Bei Rong by himself. His body was full of holes and blood...he...he is a man!"
"There is a man, I don't know his name, I'm damned, I didn't inquire, why didn't I inquire, he, he is also a guard, he is tall and strong, he holds a knife, yes, With a knife, he hacked to death a Bei Rong on horseback, and was shot dead by another Bei Rong. He was shot in the face, full of blood, what did he look like? It was full of blood, I... I didn't dare to look, I I didn’t see it clearly! Ahhh! His face is covered in blood!”
"My mother is dead! My grandma is dead! My sister-in-law is also dead! Wow! They were killed by Bei Rong!"
Children's knowledge comes from adults, and no one is willing to tell them, but the closest person around them is gone and dead. Although they are young, they already have a vague understanding of the meaning of death, and they will use their little brains to figure out the meaning of death. I have been thinking about it, trying my best to find out how the person they care about died.
Then, they know.
They remembered, they cried secretly, and kept adults from knowing, but they, after all,... got it!
When everyone is shouting crazily, it will only make people feel irritable and noisy.
But when everyone is crying in sorrow, they are immersed in their own pain, unable to extricate themselves, they lift up their **** scars, not to cry out the pain, but, they really hurt...
Eunuch Li is finally moved!
Yes, he knew that everything today was just a show, all arranged by Hu Ju.
But he was still shaken by it.
Ignoring all the tricks, all the tragedies suffered by the people of Huju are true.
They were deprived of food and struggled to survive. They lost their loved ones and were in grief.
Everything is true.
Master Tian stepped out, watching everyone burst into tears.
He choked up and said: "I didn't guard the tiger well, I failed everyone, I... wish I could die to apologize!"
Master Tian shook his body, then took a firm step, and said emotionally: "But I can't die! How can I die? How can I have the face to die? Lord Xiao and Zhang are both looking at me!
I want to help them continue to protect Huju City, which they swear to protect to the death. All the heroes who died fighting for Huju cannot just die like this! "
Master Tian clenched his teeth, the expression on his face was slightly distorted, it was because the teeth were clenched too hard, he read word by word:
"Blood debt... must be paid with blood!"
Eunuch Li was shocked.
He looked at the trembling old man in disbelief.
"Blood debt paid in blood!" This out-of-voice roar was like thunder, hitting everyone's hearts.
No one responded, because the mood turned too fast, and the people in Huju didn't keep up.
Master Tian doesn’t need anyone to respond, because he hasn’t finished his lines yet.
"Everyone listen to me." Master Tian took a deep breath, his voice was deep and powerful: "We are in trouble now, the grain in the barn is only so much, if we want to survive this winter, it is not enough.
Holy Majesty is so gracious that he exempted us from taxes and gave us rewards, which solved our urgent needs.
My official swears to the sky today that the government will spend every penny wisely. This winter, no one will freeze to death or starve to death.
Waiting for the weather to warm up, we will be much better off.
but! Will it be okay?
Every autumn harvest, Bei Rong will come. They are robbers, cold-blooded animals. They rob us of our rations, making us unable to survive.
I hope, I hope that every Huju citizen will not forget this hatred, remember it, and remember it with heart. When Bei Rong dares to commit another crime, we must... kill it back! "
Master Tian clenched his fists, and the whites of his eyes turned red.
"It doesn't work now, we have to wait, everyone, wait until we slow down...
But I guarantee that you will wait until that day and see that day. "
His voice was loud and deafening: "On that day, you will drink and drink on the long street, and then comfort the heroic spirits!"
"Tell them, we, for them, have revenge!"
Not knowing who was leading the charge, he began to kowtow to Mr. Tian.
"My lord, let's remember! We all remember! We listen to you, we listen to you..."
"My lord, count us in. If Bei Rong dares to come, let's kill him! Let's see if their heads are tough or our knives are tough!"
"My lord, we still have rations in our family. If we save a little, we will have enough food for a whole winter. In the future, we will give you all the money we earn from working."
"Yes, don't embarrass yourself, we won't starve to death!"
"My lord, you must take us to revenge!"
"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"
…
Master Tian raised his head a little higher, he didn't want to let the uncontrollable tears flow down again.
He whispered: "I know, I understand, go back, go back, live a good life.
Don’t save it from your mouth, I will find a way to find food, the official said, this winter, Huju will not freeze to death or starve to death..."
After kowtowing heavily, he stood up and bent his waist until he could no longer bend...
The children followed the adults at a loss, kowtowed, and saluted, and then they were led by the adults, and walked home step by step.
Yan Yu let out a long breath.
She looked at the person who had cooperated with Shigong several times.
No, those people.
spread out and did not stand together.
There are old and young.
It's not the kind of unprofessional one by one, but it is applied evenly to change the complexion, making the face dull and dull, and it looks like a hard life.
Of course, it would be great if her father could be more detailed. The hands are all thought of, so why is the neck ignored?
Yes, that's right.
It was her father—Yan's second child who was cooperating below!
Yan's second child also saw her, and first stared at her, which meant: Why are you everywhere? Are you not in the village?
Yan Yu raised her eyebrows: What am I doing here? Dad, aren't you there too!
Yan Er Er frowned and winked: Dad is here to deal with business.
Yan Yu replied: Me too, just now she helped to cry, that is sincere! The one who spoke loudly and cried pitifully was her.
Yan Laoer saw that the crowd had retreated, and quickly winked at her, signaling her to follow.
Yan Yu shook her head back, she didn't need to leave, and she didn't wipe her face with ashes.
Yan Lao Er took Wang Dalang and the others away.
Yan Yu thought for a while, and moved closer to her uncle.
Yan Huaiwen saw her, smiled slightly, and nodded slightly to her.
Yan Yu's eyes lit up, she walked over with small steps, and put her little hand into the warm palm of her uncle.
"Uncle, my father and the others withdrew, no one paid attention to them." Yan Yu passed on the information to the uncle in time.
Yan Huaiwen's solemnity towards Xiaoer is somewhat funny.
Let Tianyou hide his identity among the common people, and "speak" at the right time, both they and Eunuch Li know it well.
Eunuch Li will not send someone to investigate, even if he recognizes him later, he will treat it as if he did not know.
No matter how much Guanzhou and Huju put money on their faces, the fact that they were destroyed by Beirong cannot be concealed.
The military merit of beheading the three thousand soldiers of Bei Rong was due to the imperial court's willingness to cooperate with them to perform a less embarrassing scene.
It doesn't mean that the imperial court is completely unaware of Hu Ju's situation.
If they really take a small victory to build momentum, the higher ups will definitely not expose it, but they will definitely leave a bad impression.
The rewards that should be given to them are given. The two adults, Xiao and Zhang, have died with honor, so at this time, they should actually be more frank.
Appropriately candid, rather than stupidly telling the whole story.
They sold out badly...
Tianyou's words are easy to understand and thought-provoking.
Revealing the scars, letting Eunuch Li and others see and hear what the people in Huju have experienced, and what Mr. Tian said afterwards, is the real purpose of this drama.
The words read by Mr. Tian did not come from him.
It is all written by God Bless.
Written according to Tianyou's thinking, it may not be elegant enough, and it sounds rough, but it is undeniable that Tianyou can always speak to people's hearts.
Straightforward, easy to understand, and touching!
"Uncle, why?" Yan Yu knew that her uncle would understand what she wanted to ask.
At this time, Mr. Tian and Eunuch Li had gone home.
The two are very different from when they came.
It was no longer that kind of polite alienation. Eunuch Li was much more cordial. He would ask questions in a low voice, but Mr. Tian would answer cautiously and sincerely.
"We actually lost." Yan Huaiwen said lightly: "Admitting failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that the spine was broken and scared out of courage!"
"Those three thousand Bei Rong's military exploits are a fig leaf. Unless Mr. Tian stays in Huju forever, or resigns from his hometown, otherwise, as long as he is promoted one day, he will be ruthlessly ripped off, and this fig leaf will be torn off. A better candidate than myself."
"Huju is still bloody. At least, let the adults in the court think so. After that, once there is a war with Beirong, it will be much easier for us, whether it is money, food or armament distribution."
Not only in wartime, Huju needs a lot of money, food and iron now.
"Huju and Beirong will eventually have a battle." Yan Huaiwen's tone became a little serious.
He replayed the game many times, it wasn't Longxing or Fengming.
It's Huju!
"Do you still remember those people we met on the way to Guanzhou? They came from Xizhou... In troubled times, how can we fight for hegemony? If the world is not chaotic, how can we fight? And the tiger is next to Xizhou. If there is chaos in Xizhou, the court will definitely First dispatch troops from Guanzhou to suppress it... If I, Guanzhou, Huju, the more chaos the better..." Yan Huaiwen's voice became lower and lower, more and more flat.
After that, he seemed to remember something funny.
"Before the winter solstice, someone from the Xizhou Army came over, oh, to buy and sell iron materials. After finishing the business, that person asked us about a group of people who are good at shooting, crossbow, or iron crossbow..."
Yan Yu's heart trembled.
Xizhou, iron crossbow.
When these two points are paired, the person they want to ask is ready to come out.
"Uncle..."
"Nothing." Yan Huaiwen said indifferently: "I showed them the list of those who died when Beirong broke the city that day. That person should have been convinced that the person they were looking for was dead."
Yan Yu didn't think the crisis was resolved.
She was still faintly worried.
"Things leave traces! What has happened and what has been seen, how can we take it as ignorance? This is nothing more than self-deception." Yan Huaiwen glanced at the backs of Mr. Tian and Eunuch Li in front of him, and deliberately slowed down his pace a little. .
"Since people from the Xizhou Army came to inquire, then this matter should not be treated kindly." He paused, and said, "Do you still remember who uncle told you that Xizhou is the city?"
"Remember!" Yan Yu replied simply.
"The rebellion of the royal family is not uncommon in any dynasty or generation. It is not easy for outsiders to sit on that chair, but the same ancestor and the same blood can compete for it. But if you are confused, you can't hold it down." Yes, as long as there is a hint of it, the people below will also grow ambitions, and who can resist it?"
"The king of England is different. He is the son of His Majesty today, and he has the opportunity to inherit the throne. If he wants to fight, he doesn't need to fight with force, but seeks to be in the court."
Yan Huaiwen sighed lightly and said, "Guanzhou and Xizhou are too close."
Yan Yu clenched her fists, she understood.
If Xizhou is going to be chaotic and rebellious, Guanzhou will be the first to move.
If it was her, she would definitely hit like this.
Guanzhou has been harassed by Bei Rong all the year round, fighting every year, not every time it is bullied, and sometimes it will hurt Bei Rong.
Compared with the soldiers of those big cities in the inland, the Guanzhou Army has been stationed on the frontier for a long time and is better at fighting.
Such an effective army, and absolutely supports the orthodoxy of the imperial power.
If anyone wants to rebel, he must try to kill it immediately.
If it can't be done, at least, let it mess up.
Yan Yu has some conspiracy theories now.
She really wanted to know if there was Bei Rong in Xizhou, no, they were called Xi Rong, did Xi Rong always go to plunder? !
Check first and then check~
This chapter is really difficult to write, I don’t know if I can clearly express the meaning of the house~
What our uncle said is easy to understand, right? Not too white, is it?
Alas, the author is too difficult~check check~
