Battle for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the military god system

Chapter 80 Goodbye Palace Guard

Sha Pojun and others spent a day recuperating in Linzi and embarked on a journey to find his father's old ministry again.

After receiving the three news from Lu Zhen, Sha Pojun decided to go to Jixia Academy to try his luck first.

Sha Pojun led the crowd to Jixia Academy again, and Jin Zi asked suspiciously, "Brother, why are we here again?"

"Ask one thing!" Sha Pojun replied succinctly.

"Except for the old man guarding the tomb who is alive, how can there be any living people here!" Jin Zi suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted, "Could it be to ask the old man!"

Jin Zi pulled Sha Pojun, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and asked eagerly: "Didn't you ask us not to be curious? Why did you come here to ask him for a question?"

"I can explain this. My lord got news about the old general's old department in Lu Zhena yesterday. One of them was related to Jixia Academy. My lord wanted to come here to confirm." Li Shang's answer temporarily suppressed Jin Zi's dissatisfaction. , but if Jin Zi is dissatisfied, he is dissatisfied, and he has not yet had the guts to say anything about Sha Pojun.

Sha Pojun nodded, expressing his approval of Li Shang's statement, and led the crowd to the Houshan Cemetery.

The old man built a thatched hut not far from the cemetery and stayed here on weekdays.When Sha Pojun and the others arrived, the old man was sitting by the hut staring at the cemetery in a daze.

"I've seen the old man!" Sha Pojun cupped his hands and said.

"It's you? Why are you here again?" The old man showed an impatient expression.

"There is something I want the old gentleman to clarify!" Sha Pojun asked straight to the point with a serious face.

"Let's go! I have nothing to answer." The old man's complexion changed suddenly, as if to push people away.

Sha Pojun's tone suddenly became indifferent, and he scolded loudly: "Tianba, have you forgotten what Jixia Academy taught you back then? Why did you survive alone back then? Don't you feel guilty?"

Tian Ba ​​held his head, ran around madly, and kept nagging: "It's not me, it's not me, it's them, they deserve to die! It's not my fault! It's not my fault!"

The strange smile flashed across Sha Pojun's face. He had specifically asked Lu Zhen about Tian Ba ​​before, and learned that Tian Ba ​​was a talented person in Jixia Academy, valued by King Qi, and a new generation of the academy. As for whether he is still alive or not, Lu Zhen estimated that he died in the turmoil that year. Sha Pojun did not point out that the tomb guard was Tian Ba.

"What's wrong with him?" Jin Zi, who was straightforward, couldn't help asking when he saw Sha Pojun talking about Tian Ba ​​in pain.

"I did something wrong, and my conscience was condemned." Sha Pojun replied lightly.

"I didn't, I didn't, I didn't know that that would happen. No, I didn't know they would be so cruel." Tian Ba ​​defended angrily after hearing Sha Pojun's answer.

"Their deaths back then had something to do with you! You must be familiar with the Qin Army's barracks!" Sha Pojun showed a devilish smile and asked in a persuasive way.

"It doesn't matter, I have never been to Qin Jun's place, I don't know Hou Sheng, and I don't know Wang Ben." Tian Ba ​​stepped back nervously, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said incoherently.

"Fuck! Brother, you know all about this." Jin Zi asked in disbelief.

Tian Ba ​​reacted after hearing Jin Zi's complaints and said angrily: "You scoundrel, you are not welcome here."

Sha Pojun did not retreat, but stared at Tian Ba ​​closely, stepped forward, and shouted: "The ghosts here led me here, and they told me about your evil deeds."

"No! You're talking nonsense! They don't know at all. My informant is very confidential, and only Hou Sheng and Wang Ben know about it." Tian Ba ​​took several steps back, pointed at Sha Pojun in horror, and argued.

Sha Pojun pointed to the tombstone not far away and said calmly: "Did you see it? This male ghost is called Shi Zhong. He has a huge mouth full of blood and wants to eat you alive."

"No! Junior Brother Shi, I really didn't know they would do that. Although I disagreed with the elders of the Academy, I never thought of killing everyone." Tian Ba ​​stepped back again, crying He shouted loudly: "It's all about that bastard Housheng, yes! It's all about him. He lied to me and said, let me tell the specific situation of Qin Jun's general academy, so that Qin Jun can vent his anger on those old scholars. But I really don't know." I didn't know they would bloodbath the Jixia Academy!"

"Really? Is there no other way?" Sha Pojun suddenly shouted angrily.

Tian Ba ​​took another step back, and replied with tears: "I gave them the laxative that Qin Jun gave me, but I didn't know it was a chronic sangong powder."

"So that's the case, Qin Jun really knows how to play, you are so stupid!" Jin Jin listened with relish, and finally expressed his opinion.

"Yes! I was too young at the time, and I really didn't want to harm everyone." After speaking, Tian Ba ​​suddenly knelt down in the direction of the tombstone, crying loudly.

"If you don't have evil thoughts in your heart, you won't be used by others. If you have righteousness in your heart, you won't do things that hurt your siblings. In the final analysis, all these are your faults. You spend the rest of your life guarding the tomb to make up for it. It’s not enough to quell their resentment, and it’s hard to quell the resentment of the dead if the culprit is not removed.” Sha Pojun murmured with his hands behind his back.

"Master, what do you think I should do?" Tian Ba ​​kneeled and crawled to Sha Pojun's feet.

"Let me ask you, how many people were there in Jixia Academy back then? Who were they? How many people escaped when the catastrophe happened? Where are they now?" Sha Pojun didn't answer his question directly, but his expression Aloof, pretentious, raises other questions.

"The Jixia Academy was very prosperous back then. There were thousands of people in the academy. Not only the teachers and students in the academy, but also some people who came here to seek asylum because of the war. When the Qin army was bloodbathed, there were indeed Some people escaped, and those who escaped were insignificant people. Most of them came to the academy to seek shelter, and almost none of the original teachers and students of the academy could escape. Qin Jun focused on these The students of the Academy, I heard that Emperor Qin personally ordered the execution of the teachers and students of the Academy. As for where the one escaped, I didn’t pay much attention to it. Later, I came back secretly." Tian Ba, who was frightened by Sha Pojun, told him everything he knew without reservation.

For Tian Ba's answer, Sha Pojun was very dissatisfied, and said with a cold face: "I also saw a lot of ghosts who look like soldiers here, what is their origin?"

"Maybe they are deserters who took refuge! After King Qi surrendered, some soldiers were unwilling to surrender and struggled to fight the Qin army. The result is obvious. Many of them have deep relationships with the academy, so some Some of the deserters fled to the academy to take refuge." Tian Ba ​​frowned and recalled.

Sha Pojun thought for a while, isn't this the battle where his father fought against Tyranny?However, his complexion did not change, and he still showed an indifferent expression, and asked lightly: "Did they all die here? Has anyone escaped?"

"I don't know about that." Tian Ba ​​was a little puzzled after hearing Sha Pojun's question, why the other party cared so much about these sergeants.

Sha Pojun found that it was difficult to get any useful information from Tianba, so he said coldly: "I said that if you want to appease their resentment, you must cleanse yourself of the sins you committed. If you commit suicide to ask for forgiveness, these undead will not forgive you, only after killing the chief culprit, and then cleaning up the sins in the form of guarding the tomb, will you get their forgiveness when you see them after you die."

"The chief evil! The chief evil!" Tian Ba ​​muttered to himself.

"According to what you said, the chief culprit is yourself. Hou Sheng of Qi State, Wang Ben of Qin State, as far as I know, Wang Ben is dead, and his descendants were also exterminated by Qin II. I don't know, it's up to you to find it yourself."

"Wang Ben is dead, and his descendants are gone, so who do I turn to for revenge?"

"The tyrant who destroyed your family. Wang Ben is just an executor, not a real decision maker. He is not the real murderer. If he is still alive, if you kill him, it will only ease their grievances, and will not Only with the demise of the Tyrant Qin will their grievances gradually dissipate."

After listening to Sha Pojun's narration, Tian Ba ​​kept saying "Bao Qin! Bao Qin!", walking back and forth in front of the tombstone, clapping his hands and stomping his feet from time to time.

Jin Zi, who was watching the show, smacked his lips and muttered in a low voice: "This old man was tricked by his senior brother."

Li Xian'er was not a good-tempered person. She grabbed Jin Zi's waist and scolded him in a low voice: "Be careful what you say!"

Jin Zi nodded again and again, but fortunately Tian Ba, who was immersed in his own world, didn't notice Jin Zi's movements, he turned around several times and suddenly realized: "Master, you mean that I only need to kill to win, and then wait until With the demise of Tyranny, will their resentment dissipate?"

"It can be said that if you did not do these things yourself, then you will continue to stay in this cemetery until you die of old age." Sha Pojun's cold voice came into Tian Ba's ears.

"If I can get their forgiveness, I would be willing to guard their tombs for the rest of my life." Tianba looked at the tombstones all over the mountain in a daze, with sadness in his words.

Sha Pojun nodded and left the academy with Zhou Tong and others without saying anything.
