General's Gown

Yan Changqing's eyes widened in surprise.He suddenly remembered, isn't this person Doctor Song from Qinchuan City?He was one of the leaders who surrounded the county government that day.How could he wear Beirong people's armor and die here? !

Yan Changqing stepped forward to ask the two soldiers who carried the corpse.However, he didn't put on his armor, and took off his mask. The two soldiers didn't know him, so they just faltered and dealt with it casually, and walked away with the corpse on their shoulders.

Yan Changqing was more suspicious, and slipped out of the city with an ordinary token.The moon was dark and the wind was high, and outside the city was still a bloody scene after the war. Countless corpses wearing Beirong soldiers' armor were piled up under the city, and crows were screaming, vying for territory and food on the corpses.Black smoke rose everywhere, and Yan soldiers stepped on the muddy bloody ground with stumped limbs and arms, digging pits to bury these corpses numbly.

Yan Changqing mixed in with the Yan soldiers, quietly inspecting the bodies of these Beirong people.He has a very strong memory and never forgets.Therefore, although these faces were bloodstained and even incomplete, after looking through seven or eight of them in a row, he saw a familiar face again.

They are still the people of Qinchuan City.

Yan Changqing buzzed in his head, staring at this pale face in disbelief.A few months ago, in Qinchuan City, he clearly remembered that this person took a bowl of relief porridge from him and drank it impatiently.Because the porridge was too hot, the man was in tears, but he still held the bowl and drank with relish.

How could he wear Beirong people's clothes and die here? !Shouldn't the people of Qinchuan be resettled in Ningcheng according to his plan? !

No one answered Yan Changqing's question.Only cold dead bodies.The corpse's eyes were wide open.The blue and white eyes that had lost their vitality for a long time looked at Yan Changqing's face motionlessly, as if they were afraid or cursing.

They obviously wiped out Bei Rong's enemy army, but why are the corpses he saw now all Qin Chuan's people? !

Why? ! !Why? ! ! !

"Ah, don't kill me—woo! Uh! Uh!" A sharp scream suddenly rang out, but was immediately cut off by something fierce.

Yan Changqing stood up abruptly and ran towards an open space behind the city.I saw a large earth pit more than one foot deep and more than twenty feet long and wide dug there.

In the pit, lay the corpses of more than a dozen prisoners of war, all of them bleeding profusely, and some of them were still alive, struggling and convulsing in vain like loach in the fire.

By the side of the pit, there were several rows of prisoners of war kneeling densely, all gagged and tied up, trembling like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

kill prisoners!

Yan Changqing was startled, the troops he led had always given preferential treatment to prisoners of war.Why did some people dare to kill prisoners? ! !

A familiar figure was standing in front of these prisoners, with a numb and cold expression.Under his supervision, the two soldiers picked up another prisoner's hair, ignored the prisoner's terrified eyes and the muffled groan after being gagged, and raised the knife in their hands——

There was a crisp clang, and the handle of the knife was shot down by something.Xiaobing was startled, and hurriedly asked for help from the people behind him: "My lord..."

Zhang Jian turned around unhurriedly, looked at the figure walking out of the darkness, with a stiff smile on his face:

"Yan... General Yan, why are you here?"

Yan Changqing's face was livid, and his whole body was covered with a layer of frost. Without saying a word, he walked towards Zhang Jian step by step.His aura was too strong, and Zhang Jian felt his ribs began to ache again, so he hurriedly flirted with the guards who were running errands, and backed away in a panic:

"Yes... If you have something to say, please speak up, General Yan. I'm so old, I can't take it anymore..."

Yan Changqing didn't look sideways, didn't even look at him, and walked straight to the rows of prisoners.Yan Changqing looked at the gray faces and terrified eyes, his steps became heavier and heavier, his face became paler, and the hand holding the sword even began to tremble.

really.

They were all...all...

With the knife in hand, several "captives" were released from their shackles, and immediately crawled and knelt down at Yan Changqing's feet and kowtowed: "My lord, my lord, please save us! You are our savior!!! "

"My lord, please save us again..."

"My lord, help me, woo woo woo..."

Yan Changqing felt that he was going to be out of breath. After a long pause, he finally mustered up the courage, lowered his head and asked in a trembling voice:

"Are you all from Qinchuan?"

"Yes Yes!!"

The "captives" spoke in unison, shaking their heads and agreeing.

Yan Changqing began to tremble all over, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with difficulty:

"No...it can't be..."

The "captives" thought that Yan Changqing wanted to confirm their identities, and rushed to add:

"I belong to the Chen family in the Southwest Lane of Qinchuan City!" "I belong to the Xu family in the north of Qinchuan City, and the Xu Ji Bank Store belongs to my family!" "I am the shopkeeper Liu in the north!" "I am..."

Yan Changqing knelt down very slowly.Obviously he was like a sharp and cold sword just now, but now facing these weeping "captives", his whole body fell apart, and suddenly collapsed.

He tightly covered his ears, and he didn't want to hear a cry anymore, but those crying and crying sounds became louder and louder in his ears, and each sound scratched his heart and lungs like iron hooks and claws.

why?

It turns out that everything is in vain, everything is a scam?Fortunately, a few hours ago, he thought that he had made great military exploits again, but unexpectedly, he killed all the wrong people! ! ! !

One by one, those who died under his sword were not Bei Rong's enemies, but innocent people of his own country.It was the people of Qinchuan City who he worked so hard to protect with his life! ! ! !

He reluctantly bid farewell to Helian Rongchuan, and summoned all the Xuanjia soldiers to travel thousands of miles to rescue, is this the result?

Killed wrong.

All were wrong.

All the joints in his body seemed to be rattling, Yan Changqing knelt on the ground in pain, and suddenly let out a heart-piercing howl.

Why! !Why? ! !

Eyes are a shocking red.My own hands are red, other people's faces are red, the sky is red, the ground is red, is everyone being splashed with blood, or is it raining blood?

The world seemed to be spinning, spinning, until a voice sounded behind him.

"elder brother."

Murong Xiu walked up to Yan Changqing who was almost collapsed step by step, took off his cloak, and covered Yan Changqing carefully.

"It's cold at night, brother, come with me."

Yan Changqing raised his head, his voice was as soft as a gossamer: "You... still think I'm your brother?"

Murong Xiu nodded, showing an innocent smile: "Of course. But if you want to be something else, I'd like to—"

Snapped! ! !

A loud slap made Murong Xiu turn his head away.Zhang Jian and the attendants around him were all petrified.

"emperor?"

It's disrespectful to dare to hit the emperor! ! !

Murong Xiu was not angry at all, he seemed to know that he was going to be slapped, and there was not even a hint of surprise in his expression.With a slight wave of his hand, he signaled the people around him to step back.Turning around again, it was still a smiling face.

The corners of his eyes and eyebrows are very similar to his biological mother, Concubine Xian, especially those long and slightly raised Ruifeng eyes, which are elegant and dignified with a touch of melancholy.The only difference is that the older Murong Xiu grows up, the more smoldering in his eyes, even when he smiles, the corners of his eyes bend into crescents and cannot be dispelled.

Especially now, Yan Changqing's slap made his cheeks red and swollen, and Murong Xiu's smile looked even more weird, even a little crazy.

"I didn't want you to know, so I killed them to silence them. But my brother is too smart, since you found out, I will tell the truth. That's right. Those Beirong people who besieged the city were actually people from Qinchuan pretending to be of."
