The flames burned in the night, and the cold air echoed with the sound of mournful roars, and the entire small pond town was burned to the ground! The three men and two horses stood silently, silently watching the spreading flames sweep and engulf and destroy everything.

"So many people...... Will their souls rest in peace?" Xi Hao muttered as he sat behind him, his cheek pressed against his back.

The closer we get to the border, the more painful the war becomes. Those in power are insatiable, ignoring the life and death of the people, and everyone can be a pawn on the chessboard, and the choice is only between the thoughts of the chess holder. But these are all living people, and their lives really don't have any special meaning?

No, they are irreplaceable for their wives, their husbands, their gray-haired parents, and their babbling children, who share deep affection, happy memories, and a desire to protect, and no one can treat their lives as ants.

"I'm so sad...... The more I watched, the more afraid I became to see this world clearly, human nature is so terrible, why do everyone have to kill each other...... lingering, I miss Acacia Valley so much, I miss Ruoshui Island, I always can't help but think, if I hadn't stepped out of the island...... Don't ......" After a pause, he hugged the man's body with both hands, Xi Hao closed his eyes, and said softly: "If I hadn't stepped out of the island, I wouldn't have experienced this qiē, and I wouldn't have met you, lingering, what I am most grateful for is that God let me meet you, no matter how much he wants me to suffer, as long as I can be with you, I am fearless!"

looked down at the hands that hugged his chest tightly, smiled silently, and then pulled Xi Hao's hand, and jumped behind him and pulled him into his arms: "I can't stay here, I don't know if this fire will cause trouble, we need to travel overnight, Xi Hao, if you are tired, lean on my arms, the wind and snow are too big at night, your body needs to be extra careful." ”

"Let's go. Xi Hao only replied softly, and then didn't make a sound, lingering and Mingwei glanced at each other, nodded, and rushed towards the outside of the town one after the other.

There is one thing that neither he nor Ming Wei has told Xi Hao, among those people, in addition to the giant deer soldiers recognized by Ming Wei, there are also unknown people who are different from the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, those people have thick bones, high cheekbones, and slightly inverted eye sockets, those who have this kind of appearance in this border place are undoubtedly the people of Heboduo, but how can ordinary people be mixed in the military camp, so they can only be Heboduo's soldiers.

It is already very clear that all the people of Koike Town were killed, and the Julu soldiers were mixed with the soldiers of the enemy camp. Wu Feiyun sent more than 10,000 people from Julu to go straight to Nagano, and set up a puzzle here, thinking that they must have succeeded, and this small pond town leads to Baishan in the southwest and goes straight to Nagano in the east, these two places must be in danger at this moment, so he and Mingwei will decide to rush to Baishan overnight, hoping that it will still be too late.

There are too many corpses in the town to bury them one by one, and now a fire has burned clean, so that the deceased can rest in peace! Dust to dust, earth to earth, every one in the world is so small in the face of life and death, ridiculous, but there are people who trap all the people in fire and water in order to satisfy their gluttonous desires, and the consequences of the death of the bad people will really go down to the eighteen hells and suffer a lot? No one can answer this question, because if good and evil are rewarded in the end, how can these innocent people die so miserably!

People always say that people are watching the sky, so where is the sky looking at this moment!

"Ahh ”

"Know!" Bai Yan responded, threw the horse's reins at the man, and hurried in, "Let people take the horse down, and I'll go to the Xuancheng Palace." ”

"Yes. ”

The palace maids and eunuchs were all already busy, Bai Yan took a few steps up the steps, saw that the lights in the Xuancheng Hall were bright, stretched out his hand to grab a little eunuch, and asked, "Is the emperor up?"

"Back to the little marquis, the emperor slept late last night, and he hasn't gotten up yet, so the little marquis should go to the side hall to marquis, it's so snowy, it's cold outside." ”

"It's okay, you go, I'll wait here for the emperor to get up. After Bai Yan finished speaking, he let go of his hand and stood aside. There was a soft knock on the door of the hall, Zong Ran poked his head out of the hall, saw the person outside the door, and hurriedly raised his voice: "The emperor is not safe today, does the little marquis have anything important?"

"Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look? I have something important to go back to the emperor. ”

"Okay, little marquis, wait, the slave will go and talk about it. ”

The door was closed again, and Bai Yan stood in the snow, feeling apprehensive.

I don't know when it started, the emperor seems to be deliberately avoiding himself, what is he thinking in his heart? The war in Jiuyuan is about to break out, and the shape is urgent, but he just won't let himself leave the Eastern Capital, why is this?

The hall was as warm as spring, the man was leaning on the soft couch at the moment, half-propped his forehead and flipping through the scroll, when he saw Zong Ran coming in, he raised his eyebrows, and said lazily: "Is he here again?"

"Yes, it's been three days since he was outside, does the emperor really not see him?"

"Hmph. Li Zongzhi let out a sneer, threw the scroll away, reached out and grabbed the stove and hugged it in his arms: "The good show hasn't started yet, I won't let him mess with the chess game at this moment, and when the situation changes suddenly, even if he doesn't say it, I will let him go on the expedition, what's the hurry." The understatement made Zong Ran's forehead sweat, but the monarch was embarrassed, so he only bowed and exited the door.

Seeing Zong Ran shaking his head slightly, Bai Yan's face showed a look of disappointment, he bowed his hand slightly at Zong Ran, and then turned around and went down the steps.

My heart was suddenly sullen, and an invisible pressure rushed over me, and my chest was overwhelmed.

"Daddy, what should the child do to get to your side! The border is dangerous, Daddy must take care, the child is not filial!"

The sigh echoed in the air, and the man's handsome eyebrows were filled with helplessness, and his tall figure faded away in the wind and snow, and finally disappeared.

The team of columns unfolded, the carriage stopped, the curtain opened, Leng Qiuzhi glanced at the three big characters of Guiyunzhuang in the carriage, then took a deep breath and bowed down to step down.

Zheng Chengkang stood outside the door, saw Leng Qiuzhi, stepped forward and waved respectfully, and said, "The master is back." ”

"Well, let Promise come and see me. Raising his eyes and not seeing the promise, a chill appeared on Leng Qiuzhi's face, and after he finished speaking, he walked up the steps without a pause and walked away.

After everyone dispersed, Zheng Chengkang raised his eyes and swept around, and then showed a sneer.

Chang Haotian's door was opened, and he promised that as the Shadow Thorn Commander, he would let it go, and how could he not make his master angry. God knows how hard he has endured all these years to let a hairy boy climb on top of his head to make him a prestige, this time he finally seized the opportunity to make him lose the trust of his master, this good show, how can he not go to see it.

"Someone. ”

"In. ”

"Go and inform Commander Xu that the master wants to see him. ”

"This ...... My subordinates don't know where Commander Xu is now!"

The smile on his face couldn't be hidden, Zheng Chengkang looked back into the distance, with a deep meaning on his face, and said word by word: "Blue Water Pavilion!"

This red plum blossom is so beautiful that people can't help but want to get closer, and they have clearly warned themselves not to come again, but why can't they come again!

That little man has grown so big back then, he was so lonely at that time, whether it was before or after the garden was burned, he was always alone, he was always surrounded by batches of shadow thorns, no playmates, and no childhood.

When was the first time I saw him? At that time, he must have been just over three years old, and he was often strangled in blood because of his practice of gold wire, so he secretly hid and cried alone, and he was the one who saw him in that peach forest. He crouched under the tree, clasped his hands on his knees, and wept silently, the blood in his hands disappearing into the ground along the dirt.

He was so vigilant that it was only in the third month that he had been waiting every day that he approached him for the first time and spoke the first words to himself in that childish voice.

———————————————

"My name is Flawless, what's your name?"

"My name is ......"

My name is Xu Zhengtang!

"Brother Zhengtang, my hands are not bleeding today, you see, you see-"

"Brother Zhengtang, my mother made me something delicious today, and I brought it to you. ”

"Brother Zhengtang, my mother said, I can rest for a day today, can we go play?"

———————————————

Time passed like that, from the time he was three years old, to the time he was ten years old, to the year he was six years old, and he was thirteen.

———————————————

"Brother Zhengtang, don't cry, you don't have a father, I will give you half of my mother-in-law, in this way, you don't have no relatives, are you good to be my brother, I really want to have a brother like you who loves me......"

"Brother Zhengtang, Jingyuan is gone, my mother is dead, I want revenge, I want revenge!"

——————————————

Take revenge!

It was such an innocent face, he was only six years old, he shouldn't have carried so much pain, and when he came back from Danyang, he saw his body full of scars and miserable, such a weak child, should not have experienced this qiē!

"Mother save me, Brother Zhengtang save me-"

On that thunderstormy night, when the boy let out a heart-rending cry, he also planted the seeds of hatred, and for his sake, in order to clear the slightest obstacle to his future, he decided to kill the man who gave him nightmares!

Cold Autumn!

The person who hurts flawlessly, he must not let him go!

"Childe!"

Following Xianyi's gaze, Flawless raised his eyes and looked out the window. Xu Promise stood at the other end of the courtyard, looking straight at this side, with an indescribable look on his face, as if he was thinking of something, and when he saw himself looking at him, he suddenly turned his head away.

"Commander Xu! The master is back, let you go and see him. ”

Flawless stepped out of the door, but only saw the back of the person leaving, and the snow curtain blocked layer after layer, finally making the distance between the two farther and farther, so far that they couldn't see it in the end!
