My country is dead again [Rebirth]

There were hundreds of soldiers guarding the Nangu city tower, and they looked at Shen Ci with alert and fearful eyes.

"Shen Ci! You really dare to come back!" A man ran out from the city gate, and a large group of soldiers chased after him. He was about to rush to Shen Ci's horse, but the soldiers rushed up and hugged him back He couldn't move, he could only redden and glared at Shen Ci, "You bastard! You dare to tie up the fifth young master and lead troops out of the city without orders. You will die!"

Shen Ci looked indifferent, and the little flag next to him was about to roll up his sleeves and curse back, when Shen Ci said coldly, "Yu Shu, shut up."

The young man named Yu Shu said "oh", the soldiers covered the man's mouth and dragged him back to the city.

Xie Ruzhuo stood on the carriage and stared at Shen Ci, his peach-blossom eyes lost their agility, a pool of spring water seemed to rise in an instant, and it was so deep that he could not see the bottom, Shen Ci was startled, he drooped his eyelids to avoid his sight, feeling that the The eyes are very scary, either want to beat him or scold him.

"Shen Zongqi, what's going on?" Sun Bingde came over and asked.

"As Yuan Weng saw, the lowly position went out of the city without orders, arbitrarily self-propelled, and the subordinates committed crimes." Shen Ci seemed to be trying to get along with him, and smiled a little, "That's the thing, is there anything else Yuan Weng wants to ask? ?”

Sun Bingde still didn't care about Shen Ci's attitude, and asked again: "Why did you tie up Pei Yunjing?"

Shen Ci's face became a little impatient again: "Save the trouble, save the trouble."

Sun Bingde had nothing to say, Zongqi tied up Qianhu just to solve a problem, he was suspicious of Shen Ci's rudeness at first, but now it seems that this person is born prickly and crazy.

"It is inconvenient to accept so many people in the city. Jin Yiwei and adults with official positions are advanced." Shen Ci didn't want to get entangled in this issue. He didn't pay attention for a while, and his tone subconsciously became giving orders. Temporarily set up camp outside the gate, and wait until the news spreads from the city before entering."

Everyone was silent for a moment, staring blankly at Shen Ci, and then seemed not to notice anything wrong. The generals of the three major battalions had retreated to form the army, and the others also dispersed one after another to enter the city.

Sun Bingde's indifferent eyes fixed on Shen Ci's face for a moment, and then moved away. This 17-year-old boy has a flamboyant arrogance, but sometimes he has the sharpness tempered by fighting and killing, and the calmness of strategizing.

Just like Xie Ruzhuo, he couldn't see through.

Shen Ci walked to Xie Ruzhuo's carriage, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please enter the city."

The gaze on the top of his head was like frost, and Shen Ci heard Xie Ruzhuo's voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "Shen Ci, what are you doing?"

Shen Ci thought he was angry that he had tied up Pei Yunjing, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will release Fifth Young Master in a while."

Unexpectedly, Xie Ruzhuo was even more angry, his teeth were chattering: "Let him go, what about you?"

Shen Ci was startled, and raised his head to look at Xie Ruzhuo blankly. After a long time, the corner of his mouth lightly curled up: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not die."

In this life, Xie Ruzhuo cared so much about him and worried about him, how could he be unhappy?

Xie Ruzhuo was afraid that he couldn't help yelling at Shen Ci, "Do you know that you really almost died in your last life", took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Go into the city, I will go with you to see Pei Yunjing."

When Southern Hebei was captured, the entire Suifang Guards Army was ready to face the enemy. Shen Ci took them to the camp where the Guards Army was stationed, where an open space had been opened in advance, and a Well, the camp, obviously reserved for them.

Xie Ruzhuo saw a soldier say something to Shen Ci in a low voice, Shen Ci turned around and left, and he wanted to keep up, Sun Bingde winked at Jin Yiwei, and the two thousand households quickly drew out the Xiuchun knife to block Xie Ruzhuo.

"Your Majesty, please be clear, this is the territory of the Pei family." Sun Bingde said, "We still need the power of the Pei family, and it is the best policy to win over."

Xie Ruzhuo laughed angrily: "I don't know when Jin Yiwei became Yuan Weng's personal guard? To confront the emperor, Sun Bingde, you are so courageous!"

The boy's voice was still majestic when he shouted angrily, but Sun Bingde looked at him as if he was looking at a mischievous child, and said slowly: "Just now Jin Yiwei heard something from the sergeant here, Shen Ci is Pei Yuankai's illegitimate son , I heard that it is not a secret in the Cangzhou area, and Pei Yunjing has always known it."

Xie Ruzhuo understood what Sun Bingde meant. After all, Shen Ci was bleeding from the Pei family, and the Pei family would not want his life.But he knows better what the Pei family is like, and no one regards Shen Ci as a family member at all!

"Does Yuan Weng dare to kill me?" Xie Ruzhuo took a big step forward, only one centimeter away from the blade's edge.

He Xiaoman dragged him back and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't be arrogant."

"Why is Your Majesty so ignorant?" Liu Yan'er walked out of the tent and scolded in a low voice, "Since Your Majesty knows that he is the Son of Heaven, he must put the overall situation first in everything! Let the Pei family handle their own affairs!"

Xie Ruzhuo closed his eyes and opened them again, his anger had already dissipated, and He Xiaoman dragged him away from the two knives, it would be impossible to confront him head-on, he made up his mind and planned to find another way out.

After living a new life, he can change some things, foresee the future, and make some things go smoothly, but he also has to understand that God is fair, and there are always times when he can't do anything.

The officials didn't dare to show their anger, and watched the emperor and the two break up unhappy.

Xie Ruzhuo went into the camp, after thinking about it for a while, he remembered someone.

"Companion, when you went out, you told me that I was hungry, and you went and brought me something to eat." It was already night, and the light of the candle light trembled on Xie Ruzhuo's face, "You go to Beizhen Fusizhen Envoy Wei Yang, tell him that Sun Bingde sent Jin Yiwei to surround my camp, and he will come."

He Xiaoman wondered how Xie Ruzhuo knew the governor, and why he was sure that this person would come, he glanced at the people outside the tent, bowed silently and retreated.

Shen Ci left in a hurry and didn't intend to let Xie Ruzhuo get involved in this matter. He knew how important the power of the Pei family was at the moment.

It is enough for Xie Ruzhuo to care about him, other things are no big deal.

Anyway, I didn't die in my previous life, so I couldn't be reborn. After a few days, God regretted it.

Several circles of soldiers surrounded Pei Yunjing's tent, and when they saw Shen Ci approaching, everyone laughed and called him "Boss".

The Guards Army has been a military member for generations, and now, most of them just live as a fool, receiving the salary of the imperial court every month to be happy and unrestrained.

Shen Ci has been in the military camp since he was seven years old, fighting with people every day, and most of his kung fu is done in this way. When he was 14 years old, no one could beat him, so he became the boss.

"Let's all withdraw, go and untie the fifth young master, and let the others go too." Shen Ciyun said lightly.

Yu Shu blew up first: "Boss, that sick guy won't let you go! Didn't you listen to what he said before! He said that unless you killed him, he would definitely have skinned you and cramped your tendons !"

"What's the matter? Really kill him?" Shen Ci glanced at him, "I will die faster, don't hurt me."

If they really dared to kill Pei Yunjing, Pei Yuankai had enough sons, but they were enough to protect his shortcomings. If his lieutenant general was killed by the Beidi people, he would have to flatten his camp, leaving no one alive. I'm afraid they will end up in a worse situation. Shu didn't know what else to do, so he could only shout: "Then you can't let him go!"

"Hurry up and release him!" Shen Ci glanced around and raised his voice, "You don't need to worry about other things, this is between him and me."

A few soldiers walked into the tent behind them silently, and a few others went to another tent to release Pei Yunjing's private soldiers and personal soldiers.

After several times of urging by Shen Ci, the crowd dispersed in a step-by-step manner, as if they were sending him to the execution ground.

As soon as the soldiers retreated, more than a dozen soldiers with knives surrounded Shen Ci. The soldiers who scolded him at the city gate before smiled viciously: "Please beg me now, maybe when the master is happy I beg for mercy for you, and I can still live."

Shen Ci didn't even look at him, the next moment, Pei Yunjing's furious voice came from the tent: "Du Xun! Bring Shen Ci in!"

Du Xun is the guy in front of him with an annoying smile. He has been with Pei Yunjing since he was a child, and he is the best among the soldiers. He is already a hundred. He lightly ordered: "Take off his knife."

Before they could make a move, Shen Ci untied the knife and threw it on the ground with a bang, then took off his armor expressionlessly, passed the group of people, and walked into the tent first.

As soon as Pei Yunjing saw him, he quickly walked forward with a whip in his hand: "You dare to tie me up? Okay, I'll take your skin right now!"

The whip tip waving in front of his eyes with the wind, Shen Ci took half a step back and turned his head slightly to avoid it.

Pei Yunjingtian grew up weak, with deep eye sockets, cold eyes, and pale skin all day long. When staring at people, he always makes people feel dead, and even if he smiles at you resentfully, he looks more like a ghost in the underworld.

"You still dare to hide!" The veins on Pei Yunjing's forehead protruded, "Hold him down!"

Shen Ci didn't move this time, and let the two people hold him down on his knees, the whip in Pei Yunjing's hand violently lashed out.

The sick man's hands were not weak, the whip split the skirt of his clothes, and a blood-red mark appeared on the white singlet.

"Our Pei family can't tolerate you anymore? Do you want to go to the emperor to ask for a reward?" Pei Yunjing waved a whip and lashed at Shen Ci's body. Seeing his eyebrows and eyes that resembled his own, his smile became more vicious, "With that shameless mother of yours Just as cheap, I don’t know how many men have slept with me, and I want to enter my Pei’s house!” He patted Shen Ci’s face with the handle of his whip, “What are you going to use to claim credit from the emperor? Do you also rely on your face? ?”

Shen Ci lowered his head and was whipped quietly by Pei Yunjing. There were more than a dozen bloodstains on his chest. When he heard Pei Yunjing talking about his mother, he raised his head and frowned and said, "My mother never thought of entering your house."

The whip fell again, and a long one was pulled obliquely from the right shoulder to the left rib, covering the whip marks on the chest, wounds added to the wounds, Pei Yunjing sneered: "When your mother died, you couldn't speak, what do you know? She hugged you and knelt in front of Pei's house when you were one year old, why would she kneel if she didn't want to come in?"

Shen Ci lowered his head again, feeling that there was no need to say anything more.

His mother was dying of illness back then, fearing that he would not survive, she begged the Pei family to recognize him, not because she cared about her status.

Pei Yunjing didn't like Shen Ci's indifferent look very much. He looked down-browed and pleasing to the eye, but in fact he was very dissatisfied. He wished he could crush this man's arrogance and behave like a dog without fangs or claws.

"Aside from those people outside, who else participated in this matter?" Pei Yunjing's face became more and more gloomy, "Does your master and wife also know?"

Shen Ci gritted his teeth and said, "They don't know."

"You should be clear, whether this is a capital crime, or a capital crime of continuous sitting." Pei Yunjing played with taste, "I should go and arrest your master and wife now, which is what I should do."

"Your Majesty is going north. As a subject, shouldn't I welcome you?" Shen Ci's eyes were cold, "It's because you have evil intentions in your heart that you are in vain as a subject. What is my fault?"

Seeing that Shen Ci finally revealed his hidden minions, Pei Yunjing narrowed his eyes gloomyly, and suddenly slammed a whip on Shen Ci's face, and said angrily: "Your mother is a lowly family, you are a bastard with unknown background, back then you The master said that you are the son of his clan in his hometown, and you were given your military status only by adopting him as his son. As long as I expose this matter, you, your master and wife, deceive the upper and lower and lie about the military status, and you will still be punished with death."

A bloody whip mark lay across the left side of the face, and the blood was still dripping down, staining half of Shen Ci's face red. Pei Yunjing bent the whip and deliberately poked it on the blood mark: "Who doesn't know you, Shen Ci? He is the illegitimate son of the Pei family. If I hadn't kept it secret for you all these years, you would have survived until now? Do you still want to say why you are guilty? There are people from the Ministry of War next to your majesty. I will call them here and send you and Master and wife go on the road together?"

Shen Ci couldn't bear to break away from the people behind him, his eyes were full of murderous intent, the blood on his face made him look like a desperado who had just killed someone, his voice was full of fierceness: "Pei Yunjing, don't go too far !"

Before Shen Ci rushed towards Pei Yunjing, Du Xun and a group of people rushed to hold him down. Shen Ci couldn't break free from the shackles of so many people, the joints of his arms were twisted and the bones were on the verge of dislocation. He knelt on one knee On the ground, the ferocity in his eyes remained undiminished, like a wolf on the grassland ready to attack the enemy.

Pei Yunjing had a relaxed posture, and chuckled twice: "Shen Ci, so what about your extraordinary talent, I just want to make you humble for the rest of your life. As for your master, on my Pei family's territory, if I kill a hundred households, it will be the same as crushing them to death." As simple as an ant."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Ci's whole body trembled. After rebirth, his birth was still the most powerless thing he could do.

Pei Yunjing didn't have to do anything to seal up thousands of households, and whether he and his master and wife would live or die was just a matter of Pei Yunjing's thought.

After he took a post in the army in his previous life, Pei Yunjing often used his master and wife to force him, and enjoyed watching him being forced to grind away his edges and corners again and again, and submit to his feet.

The blood was about to fall into his mouth, Shen Ci licked it away with his tongue, the murderous look in his eyes slowly dissipated, the other knee knocked on the ground with a dull sound, lowered his eyes and said: "This subordinate is guilty, I beg the fifth young master to raise your hand, Let the others go, all the crimes will be borne by one of the subordinates."

Pei Yunjing achieved his goal, shook his head and said, "Shen Ci, why do you have to beat your head every time before you are willing to give in?" He lifted Shen Ci's chin, "Since you think you are loyal and patriotic, I don't have to kill you , but it is true that you committed crimes below and above, and acted without orders. You will be punished with a hundred lashes and a hundred sticks, and then tied up and displayed in the school grounds for three days, do you admit it?"

Shen Ci's expression was numb: "Fifth Young Master, whatever you want."

"Fifth Young Master spare your life, won't you thank you?" Du Xun kicked Shen Ci's ribs, and while Shen Ci was bowed in pain, he stepped on Shen Ci's head and hit the ground, "Do you think you are what?"

His forehead was bluish and red from the blow, and his mouth and nose were oppressed. After struggling twice to no avail, Shen Ci closed his eyes and was about to do what Du Xun wanted. A person broke in and said loudly: "I thank Pei Qianhu for Shen's kindness."

The soldiers subconsciously wanted to draw their knives, and a group of Jin Yiwei had already placed Xiuchun Knives around their necks.

Xie Ruzhuo's scarlet robe flew past Shen Ci's eyes, and he walked straight to the head of the tent. Shi Shiran sat down with a warm smile on his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He looked at Pei Yunjing and said, "The Pei family has already Is it reversed? If not, shouldn’t you salute me when you see me?”

Pei Yuankai's attitude was still unclear, Pei Yunjing didn't dare to make his own claims, he clenched his fists, his joints were soft, and he led the people in the tent to kneel down and worship the emperor.

"Xishan and Wanyang's soldiers and horses have already moved." Xie Ruzhuo got Pei Yunjing up and continued to smile, "Tomorrow there should be news from Zongbing Pei."

The Pei family is the most powerful in the northern region, but if Xishan and Wanyang really mobilize troops, they will attack from both sides. The Pei family will not get any benefits. Pei Yunjing can already guess his father's choice, and his face is even more cloudy. pale.

Xie Ruzhuo glanced at Shen Ci who was in a mess, and said, "Although Shen Ci is your personal soldier, he also holds an official position in the army. Isn't it good for Pei Qianhu to lynch him?"

"He offends his subordinates, and I just teach his subordinates." Pei Yunjing smiled contemptuously, "Your Majesty even wants to take care of this?"

As Sun Bingde said, they still have to rely on the Pei family, Xie Ruzhuo can only put on a fake smile: "Okay, I don't care about this, but Shen Ci did this for me, it is understandable, Pei Qianhu is Isn't the punishment too heavy?"

Pei Yunjing said: "I have already turned the corner. I commanded the Nangu Guards Army. Shen Ci tied me up in front of everyone. If I handle it lightly, wouldn't anyone dare to make trouble in the future?"

Xie Ruzhuo didn't panic, and changed the subject: "I heard that President Pei has never taken Pei Qianhu to the battlefield?" Seeing that Pei Yunjing's face was serious, he said again, "I also heard that Pei Qianhu has a younger brother. Is it already Wei Shanwei's command?"

The Pei family did not lack a son of his, Pei Yunjing, and Dayu's most famous general would not allow a sick child to come into contact with the power center. Xie Ruzhuo was stabbing Pei Yunjing in the heart.

"However, I can enter Nangu safely, and I will remember Pei Qianhu's kindness." Xie Ruzhuo laughed again, "When I arrive in Lezhou, I will soon send troops south to recover the lost land, how about I let you lead a soldier? As long as you can win, I will also let you be the commander."

Shen Ci knew Pei Yunjing very well, he had no talent in leading soldiers and fighting, and he was not in good health, let alone being able to practice martial arts for a long time, if not for his mother being the mistress of the Pei family, he would not have had a good time in the Pei family.Therefore, Pei Yunjing really wanted to have military merits, which would give him a better status in the Pei family.

Xie Ruzhuo's knife is accurate, and the benefits are also accurate.

Thinking that Xie Ruzhuo was doing it for him, Shen Ci could only feel the sweet taste of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty just for Shen Ci?" Pei Yunjing thought it was absurd and asked.

Xie Ruzhuo nodded: "Just for Shen Ci. Pei Qianhu has been wronged in this matter and can be punished, but please be merciful. I wonder if fifty military sticks can relieve Pei Qianhu?"

Pei Yunjing probably secretly hated the emperor for caring so much about Shen Ci, but his face was watertight: "I hope Your Majesty will keep his promise."

"Naturally." Xie Ruzhuo said.

Pei Yunjing got what he wanted, but he was not very comfortable, so he led others away with a dark face.

The tent became quiet, and Shen Ci said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xie Ruzhuo walked up to him, wiped off the blood on his chin, and sighed: "You let me rest assured that you just made yourself like this?"

That sigh curled up like light smoke, scattered into the long memory.

Xie Ruzhuo remembered that in his previous life, it was three days after he saw Shen Ci again. He only wanted to give Shen Ci a reward after he went to Lezhou, but he didn't take this person to heart.

It was dusk, and when Nangu was in autumn, there was a wind and sand, which covered the huge red sun in the sky with an old color. He didn't remember why he passed the school grounds, anyway, he saw Shen Ci tied to the flagpole there.

He ran over to see that Shen Ci was covered in blood, and he hadn't gotten a drop of water in for three days, his lips were so dry and cracked that no skin was intact, and the tender flesh inside was cracked into pieces, as if they were about to peel off.

Shen Ci had only one breath left, Xie Ruzhuo stroked the whip marks on his face, the blood had already dried up and could not be wiped off.

He untied the rope, Shen Ci fell on him, opened his eyes and looked at him in a daze, his voice was so hoarse that he could barely make a sound, but Xie Ruzhuo still heard: "Your Highness Six... the peach blossoms are blooming... when can I go?" Jiangnan is looking for you..."

At dusk that day, Xie Ruzhuo was holding Shen Ci and sobbing in the wind and sand.

He remembered who this person was.

But His Highness the Sixth Prince is dead, and Jiangnan can no longer go there.
