After a long time, I stopped at a farmhouse on the side of the road and settled for the time being, after all, it was a snowy day, and it was already getting late, and people were tired, so it was good to find such a place in the middle of nowhere.

This family is an old farmer, and now it is in the midst of war, and everywhere is not peaceful, and this family is left with only the old farmer couple and one of their grandsons and two granddaughters, and the family of five depends on each other.

The old farmer was erecting himself on a wooden ladder, trying to rebuild the roof that had been crushed by the heavy snow before it got dark.

The old farmer couldn't help but sigh and sigh that he had been busy for most of his life, and that he was originally enjoying the blessings of his children and grandchildren, but he encountered great changes, not only was all the permanent property in the family taken away, food and clothing were cut off, and several children were implicated in the war and were either forced to die by officers and soldiers, or died at the hands of rogues, leaving behind the orphans and widows in this house, and all the burdens fell on their shoulders.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt that life was hopeless, and he would die if he hated it, but when he saw the innocent faces of his grandchildren who didn't know what the sorrow of the world was, the old farmer felt that he had to grit his teeth and persevere, at least until these children grew up......

Pulled the dirty cuffs and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, breathed into his rough and calloused hands, and warmed his hands a little, while the guy in his hands, while thinking about where to find tonight's food.

At this moment, a group of officers rode by, the old farmer had not come to his senses, the group of people dismounted one after another and went straight into the farmhouse, the old peasant woman was so frightened that she hurriedly drove a few children who were frolicking in the courtyard back to the back room, and the old farmer looked at the black and shiny armor on this group of men and horses, only to say that the military master came to collect food again, and he was nervous and almost came down from the wooden ladder.

"The old man is worried, don't be afraid, we are just here to spend the night, and we will leave tomorrow morning, and we will not talk too much!"

General Yang Quan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly went over to help the old farmer on the wooden ladder down, and deliberately said kind words to comfort the old farmer and his wife, after all, the world is chaotic now, how can the common people see such a team driving by, how can they not be afraid of it like a tiger wolf?

The old farmer landed safely under Yang Quan's support, but when he saw the sergeant in front of him, he trembled, trembled, and couldn't speak in panic.

"Don't hurt me!"

In the back room, a little girl who was only □□ years old suddenly rushed out, and she suddenly saw a burly military master dragging her Ah Weng, thinking that someone was going to hurt her relatives, so she rushed out desperately to help her Ah Weng.

But when he ran halfway, he was stopped by someone, and he hit this person, his small body couldn't stand firmly, and the whole person couldn't stop falling backwards.

"I'm worried!"

A warm and heartwarming word came, and between the words, the little girl was picked up by the visitor, and when the little girl saw the young man in front of her, who was as warm as jade and smiled kindly, she was not at all as terrible and hideous as those in heavy armor, and her face was slightly red, and then she struggled to break free from the stranger's arms.

Some shouted angrily:

"Let go of me, let go of me Ah Weng, you are all bad people!"

Hearing this accusation, I couldn't help but smile faintly, this child's stubborn and unyielding gaze still made me sincerely appreciate.

When the old farmer saw this, he fell to his knees crying, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and said:

"The officials spare their lives, please let this child go, she doesn't know anything, she ...... She's just a kid......"

I put the little girl down carefully, and hurriedly went over to help the old man up, and said with a smile:

"The old man, please get up, we are abrupt, if it is late today, it is inconvenient to travel on a snowy night, so we can only temporarily borrow this place for a night, please don't blame it if you are disturbed!"

While speaking, he gave Ah Zheng a look, and asked Ah Zheng to take some money over and hand it over to the old man in person, the old man was so scared that he didn't just take over, but he was persuaded by me, looking at the thin and patched clothes on the child's body, I knew that the family was very poor, and it was difficult to say whether this family could live this winter.

I couldn't help but be relieved:

"Let's leave some winter clothes for the children!"

Then he turned around and said to Ah Zheng:

"Ah Zheng, go and bring out a few sets of clothes and food, and give them to the old man!"

Hearing this, Ah Zheng nodded and left.

Only then did the old farmer know that these people were not bad people, not only to spend the night for their convenience but also for their own convenience, and to see this Confucian scholar's kind intentions, and to send winter clothes and food, this is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow, to save the suffering!

The old farmer couldn't help but bow down and thank him, and if I hadn't stopped him, he would have knelt down and kowtowed in thanksgiving.

"Thank you to a few big officials for saving the lives of my old man's family, it's just a cold room, if you don't give up, you can spend the night here and leave!"

I bowed and responded:

"Then thank you to the old man, now the world is chaotic, at night, please don't move around at night, stay in the back room with your family at ease, even if you hear how to move outside the house in the middle of the night, don't come out of the house, I keep the old man's family safe, remember, remember!"

The old farmer didn't hurry to ask more, and when he saw that I was careful, he didn't dare to be perfunctory at will, so he nodded his head in agreement.

I smiled slightly, looked at the brave little girl again, walked up to her, touched her head gently, and said:

"You're brave, what's your name?"

The little girl dodged my hand, her little cheeks red from the cold wind, and she pouted and muttered not to speak.

The old farmer was afraid of complications, so he hurriedly scolded his granddaughter, saying:

"The baby is not allowed to be rude, hurry up and reply to the words of the big official!"

The little girl suddenly felt wronged in her heart, turned around with red eyes, and ran to the back room, and not long after entering, she heard the old woman whispering and scolding the child, and it was not long before she heard the girl's crying......

I couldn't bear it, and the old farmer nodded to me for a while, to show that he was absent for a moment, and then he went into the back room with old steps, and only heard him say as he walked:

"The old woman speaks well, don't beat the child!"

......

I couldn't help but sigh slightly as I looked at the dilapidated house in front of me, and listened to the crying of the children coming from inside the house, and the words of the old farmer who dissuaded the old woman from beating the children.

"General Yang, I will ask you to send a few people to help repair these houses a little, and we will rest here for one night tonight!"

"The last will be ordered!"

Yang Quan received the military order and ordered to camp here, and sent people to repair the dilapidated house, pick up some firewood, and start to bury the pot to cook, everything went in order.

Inside the house, the little girl's cry gradually became quieter, and I looked at the snowy patch in front of me, and I was slightly stunned......

In the middle of the night, the silence around seemed to be no one, only the cold wind whistled, and then there were bursts of roars in the night sky, like a wild beast, very terrifying!

At this moment, the old farmer's family had already nested on the kang and fell asleep in a drowsy manner, but I don't know what time it was, the old farmer was in a daze, as if he heard a low shout from someone outside the house, and then it seemed that there was a sound of swords and swords, as if someone was fighting desperately with each other!

The old farmer was so frightened that he couldn't sleep at all, sat up and looked at the window, only to see that it was dark on the paper window, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but the sound of fighting outside the house became more and more invented, and it turned out that he was not asleep!

The old farmer trembled with fright, and suddenly remembered the advice of the handsome Confucian that he should not go out of the inner room in the middle of the night, no matter what sound he heard, so he immediately lay down on the kang again, covered his ears, and tried to isolate the movement outside the house.

I don't know how long it took, but the movement outside the house gradually calmed down, and fell into a deathly silence again......

When the dust had settled, I walked out of the tent where I was hiding, and the torches in the hands of the sergeant dispersed the darkness around me, and the fierce assassination scene that had just taken place was so deeply reflected in the eyes of those present that the smell of blood wafted in the air, and the snow-covered land along the way was already stained red with human blood.

This assassination was expected, but I didn't expect the fight to be so fierce!

There were only five people on the other side, three of them died, but they killed nearly fifteen soldiers, and even General Yang Quan was injured.

The last two surviving people were captured alive, and when Yang Quan took off the masks of these two people, he saw that a familiar person was also among them, and his body was stunned, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Shen Yu, why, why you?"

Shen Yu was the escort who was arranged by Yang Quan to escort me to Shangluo to investigate the missing imperial history when I left the team, but he was also the one who secretly collaborated with the enemy, trapped me in a dangerous situation, and almost lost my life.

Originally, I thought he was dead, but when I inquired, I found out that among the six people who traveled with me that day, the others fought and died to protect me, but he was the only one who survived, so how could I not doubt him.

Since Shen Yu came to kill me in person, it is conceivable that the people behind him have begun to suspect my identity, which means that he already knows that his plan to kill people has long been in vain, and now he is just making a last ditch effort to kill people and kill his mouth.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, the person who was captured with Shen Yu immediately bit the poison sac hidden between his teeth in order to avoid being forced to confess, but he vomited blood and died in a moment.

Yang Quan was righteous and indignant, he didn't expect that his subordinates would be such scum as Shen Yu, he hated himself for having no eyes, how could he see one of them swallowing poison and dying, lest this Shen Yu also be afraid of the crime and poison himself, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled out the poison sac directly from his mouth, and then let him be tied up, so he hurriedly knelt in front of me and asked me to plead guilty, saying:

"The last general has no eyes and no beads, and mistakenly believes in such a traitor as Shen Yu, please ask the prison army to convict the crime of negligence!"

I stretched out my hand to help Yang Quan up and said:

"General Yang said seriously, Shen Yu's move was completely out of his own actions, as the so-called one person does things and one person is responsible, since Shen Yu wants to assassinate this prison army, then this prison army naturally has to review the case clearly, as for how to deal with it, etc., figure out the cause and effect before making a plan. Put Shen Yu into the tent first, and I will personally interrogate him overnight!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the sergeant took Shen Yu down.

"General Yang, please also heal your wounds first, and then discuss with General Yang after the prison army investigates the case. ”

Yang Quan's face was ashamed, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said:

"Everything is subject to the ruling of the prison guard!"

Hearing this, I bowed my head slightly, and then followed into the tent......

When I entered the camp and saw Shen Yu, this time he was much more embarrassed than the last time, the last time I saw him was a rather imposing character, now I know when I see it, it turns out that he is also a person who is afraid of death, especially when he saw the painful and distorted look of his companion after taking poison and committing suicide, the horror in his eyes betrayed him.

Because he didn't want to die at all!

I waved my hand to send the sergeant away, looked at Shen Yu with an indifferent face, and said:

"Tell me what you know. ”

"Why do you think I'm going to say it?"

Unexpectedly, until now, Shen Yu is still fighting the trapped beasts.

"Originally, you could have chosen to die, but you hesitated, so at the moment you hesitated, you lost the courage to commit suicide. ”

Listening to my words, Shen Yu suddenly vented his confidence, originally he wanted to take the opportunity to talk to me about the conditions, but now it seems that he doesn't even have the capital to negotiate.

After a battle between heaven and man, Shen Yu began to be more and more afraid, he knew his master's cruelty, if his master knew that he had betrayed him, he would definitely not easily forgive himself!

"I, I can't say ......"

As he spoke, Shen Yu's whole body was already trembling involuntarily.

I smiled coldly, I don't know that person's methods, it can be seen from Shen Yu's fearful appearance, what that person is best at is not only making people die, but even making people worse than death!

"Death is indeed terrible, but what is even more terrible than this is that life is better than death......"

I slowly walked in front of Shen Yu, watching his face gradually become bloodless, and I knew how accurately my words rubbed into his heart.

"You are afraid of death, and you are afraid that life is better than death, you don't want to choose either way, do you think you have a third way?"

Shen Yu lowered his head dejectedly, this big man with a sturdy figure began to tremble all over his body at this time.

"Actually, death is better than life and death, at least death is a moment of pain, but life is not as good as death, then it is painful to live, are you afraid of pain?"

I asked in a deliberative tone, and Shen Yu was so frightened that he was so frightened that he almost broke his heart, because he was horrified to find that the person in front of him was a hundred times more terrifying than his master!

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, it's just ......"

I squatted down slowly, looked at Shen Yu coldly, and then slowly spit out the next words word by word.

"I'm going to make you miserable!"

Whoever dares to hurt me and the people around me will make him pay an extremely painful price!

And that's just the beginning! 166 Reading Network
