introduction
In the fourth winter of Yongkang, the sky was gloomy, and the north wind was howling mixed with heavy snow, which made the streets of this magnificent and prosperous patriotic imperial city look a little bleak. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the Dingguo General's Mansion, there was a dead silence, a dead silence, the wind whined, with a strong smell of blood.
Dingguo General's Mansion, corpses are everywhere, and all 140 mouths of the General's Mansion were wiped out overnight.
The next morning, the news boiled over in the imperial city.
The full moon teahouse is the largest teahouse in the imperial city, which is where some literati and writers discuss poetry and songs, and sometimes discuss some state affairs, and it is also a gathering place for various news.
And today, everyone is discussing the same thing - the Dingguo General's Mansion was destroyed overnight.
"This General Li doesn't know who he offended, there is no one alive in the whole house, the means are so cruel, the blood has flowed to Dongjie, and it is said that even the five or six-year-old dolls have not been spared. Tut-tut, what a terrible word. ”
A Confucian scholar dressed in a plain green coat with a silver silk embroidered headband on his head banged the folding fan in his hand on the tabletop, and said excitedly to another young man in blue.
"Yes, yes, you say that this General Li has offended anyone, and he actually made such a ruthless hand. The person next to him echoed when he heard this.
The young man in blue said indignantly, "General Li has made countless meritorious contributions, killed countless people on the battlefield, and it is normal to have enemies, but General Li usually treats people kindly and treats the people well, and when such a big thing happens, the royal family doesn't know what to think, but he just ordered the whole house to be buried thickly, so there is nothing to do." This is also ridiculous, don't you send someone to investigate it thoroughly? How can General Li say that he was also a great hero when our emperor won the emperor. This emperor..."
"Eh, you can't talk nonsense, you don't want to die. How can ordinary people like you and me speculate on the emperor's thoughts?"
Hearing this, the blue-clothed young man's face suddenly changed so suddenly that Tie Qing regained his mouth.
This royal matter is not something that ordinary people can discuss casually, and if it is not good, it will cost a small life.
A man in black in the corner wearing a hat listened to their words, and a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, looked at the sleeping baby in his arms, and said to himself:
"Heroes..."
Looking at this prosperous patriotic imperial city through the window, the streets are full of traffic, bustling, cries and sales, and people's lives are in order.
The baby in his arms seemed to be woken up by the hustle and bustle, and hummed softly.
The man in black gently shook the baby to soothe it, and said to the baby in his arms with doting eyes and helplessness:
"You say, what should I do with you?"
After speaking, he smiled miserably, and disappeared into the corner.
And no one in the teahouse paid attention to the man who suddenly disappeared, as if this person had never existed at all.
...
In the Imperial Palace, the glorious palace is lit with candles, and the golden carved palace lamps are incomparably bright, showing luxury.
The maidservants on both sides stand with their hands down, the ground is covered with an auspicious carpet with excellent embroidery, light smoke is slowly floating in the hexagonal incense burner in the hall, and a man wearing a bright yellow costume sits behind the gilded long case.
The man's brows frowned slightly, his face was cold, his eyes looked intently at the fold in his hand, and for a long time, Fang lazily raised his eyes and looked at the man in black standing in front of the desk, and said coldly
"Qianshan, how are things going?"
The faint tone revealed a little impatience and coldness. The man named Qianshan raised his head slightly when he heard this
"Back to Your Majesty, someone has already buried Li Jin's family, but..."
Emperor Wei listened to Qianshan's words and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he threw the fold in his hand on the case, and said coldly:
"Just what?!"
"It's just that, according to the spies, the people in the city are quite indignant about this matter, saying that it is... Say...."
Qianshan looked at Emperor Wei's frost-like complexion, a spirit on his body, and shrank and said:
"Say... It is said that General Li has made countless meritorious contributions, but now that the royal family has been destroyed, he has not taken any action, and he is upset about General Li. Your Majesty, this Li Jin has won the hearts of the people, this..."
Hearing this, Emperor Wei's face became even more gloomy, and he slapped the table angrily:
"Hmph! Ignorant people, don't pay attention to it. It is precisely because Li Jin has won the hearts of the people that he is about to overshadow me, the emperor, and he is quite arrogant in the court, forming a party for personal gain, raising soldiers privately, and he has military power in his hands, and his military prestige in the military camp is extremely high. By the time he wields his troops to replace me, the emperor, one day, it will be too late. If there is any private discussion, it will be punished as the same party!"
Emperor Wei looked at Qianshan in front of him with low eyebrows and said coldly:
Also, shut the mouths of the people below. You know how to do what you shouldn't hear, what you shouldn't say. ”
Hearing this, Qianshan's temples burst out, and he answered, "Yes." Then he trembled and retreated.
Qianshan retreated to the door of the hall, raised his head and looked at the bright stars in the sky, and there was a desolation in his heart
"Brother Li, no matter what you and I say, it can be regarded as an acquaintance, but you don't know that you will suffer from its addiction when you show your edge, and your achievements will be high. It's a pity that you are eloquent and skilled, but you can't guess the emperor's heart when you are loyal, but you end up like this, alas~ Your ability is limited, and I can only help you get here. ”
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the last words that Qianshan was ordered to take people to the General's Mansion that night, and Li Jin said to himself.
At that time, there was a fight outside, and there were only the two of them and the child in Li Jin's arms in the house, Qianshan's face was a little unbearable to explain the intention, Li Jin was stunned for a moment, and then Li Jin's heart was a foregone conclusion, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a wry smile, and he sighed long
"Brother Qianshan, you and I have met once, the matter has come to this point, I Li Jin has nothing to say, and now there is only one thing to ask for, my little girl is not a hundred days old, I Li Jin is not sorry to die to pity my newborn child, she is still so young, what is she innocent, pity her for having no mother just after she was born, and now it is like this... Brother Qianshan, I, Li Jin, beg you, to spare my child's life, my Li Jin is the only one daughter in my life, if I leave my child's life, my Li Jin will be a cow and a horse in the next life. ”
As he spoke, he knelt down.
Qianshan frowned, he couldn't bear to look at this life of horses, iron bones, when did the man who licked the blood on the tip of the knife pleaded with others like this, Qianshan looked at the baby in his arms, the little face was pink and jade, the black eyes flashed like night stars, pure and flawless, and he was moved by compassion for a while, and took the baby with a sigh.
Li Jin took a deep look at the child's sad face to Qianshandao
"I, Li Jin, am loyal to the Lord but end up like this, Brother Qianshan, you cherish yourself. ”
With that, he drew his sword, and the blade slashed across his throat, splashing the blood on Qianshan's face.
Qianshan watched this generation of heroes die in front of his eyes, and his heart was also tight, and his heart was bitter, how could he not violate the emperor's order. Shaking his head and sighing a pity, Hou Qianshan handed over the baby to his henchman and ordered him to leave through the back door.
He lifted his feet heavily and went out to look around the general's mansion, all around the mansion, the corpses were all over the ground, and there was no life, and it could be said that there was a river of blood. My heart was cold, and I couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so I took people back to restore my life.
Who knew that after returning to the house, the henchman came to report that he met a man in black not far from the back door
'Thank you, sir, for your mercy'
There is no trace of him, this person's martial arts are extremely high, and he has just arrived, otherwise tonight's mission will not be completed.
After hearing this, Qianshan was thoughtful, and sighed for a long time:
"That's fine, how she will do it in the future depends on her own creation. ”
In this way, a generation of heroes and heroes Li Jin disappeared with the tragedy of the Li family. In this troubled world, when heroes emerge, they are slowly forgotten by the world.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a few years later...
