Chapter Seventy-One: The Massacre
Qiaoya didn't come back until the afternoon, and brought back a bolt that she hadn't seen for a long time - the bolt went into the mountain to learn skills from Wang Orion, and she didn't come back for a long time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Wang Orion asked him to come back for the New Year. "Great, I didn't think the plug would come back." β
"Wang Orion personally sent the bolt back, what should the master do?"
"The Master also came out. It seemed that he was not feeling well, and Wang Orion said that they would celebrate the New Year at Master's house this year, and it would be convenient to ask a doctor for anything. β
Xue Ying was suddenly very worried: "How is the master? Is it serious?" It is well known that the master's health is not good, but it is not usual that Wang Orion is so nervous that he wants to spend the New Year outside, so it can be seen that the situation this year is indeed not good.
Qiaoya scratched her hair, "Master has always been soft and weak, I don't see anything wrong." β
Xue Ying thought for a while: "The weather will be better in two days, I'll go down the mountain to have a look." β
In any case, the master is sick, and she should greet her as a student.
"If you want to go down the mountain, you can let my master take you down. "Qiaoya didn't think it was a big deal.
"Don't have bad ideas. Dong Xun came in, just heard this, and said busily, "It's freezing outside, what if the young lady gets sick?"
Qiaoya stuck out her tongue: "I forgot." "She's been running outside all day, and she doesn't feel like it's cold or not.
"Also, when you run out during meal time, you don't want to think about who is doing the work in the kitchen!" Dong Xun crossed his hands on his hips, "Do you know that for today's lunch, Miss has personally cooked and lit the fire." You have fun, but you can't forget about business!"
Qiaoya was powerless to refute, bowed her head and obediently trained.
She went down the mountain with Xue Ying's permission, and Xue Ying wanted to intercede for her, but halfway through, Qiaoya secretly gave her a look and asked her to take the words back.
When Dong Xun went out, Xue Ying asked, "Why don't you let me speak?"
Qiao Ya smiled: "Didn't Miss say that she wanted to exercise Dong Xun? Now it seems that the results are not bad, and you dare to point at me and scold." Miss is right, people, you still have to force it. β
"You can see it quite openly, and you are so happy to be scolded. β
"Miss," Qiao Ya hugged her neck and coquettishly, "I'm not stupid, my mother and Xi Xi are about to have children, Zhen's mother is becoming less and less in charge, if Dong Xun can't hurry up and be tough to calm the scene, it will be you, Miss, who will work hard at that time." Spring is coming after the New Year, and I still want to go out with the young lady to have enough, and the messy things in the yard are better left to others. β
"Yo, take a long-term view. Xue Ying glanced at her and nodded her nose, "It's a pity that I think about playing all day long!"
"That's because Miss also wants to play, Qiaoya is just a ......" Qiaoya thought about it, patted her chest, and forcibly deduced the style of the rivers and lakes, "It's just to accompany you to the end." β
A few days later, the sky improved, Xue Ying, accompanied by Aunt He'an and Qiaoya, went down the mountain to visit Master Liuli, and saw the bearded man surnamed Gu again at Zhao Zhuangtou's house.
Gu Dachun still remembered Xue Ying, and said to Zhao Zhuangtou after seeing her and saying hello: "I really envy you, I can see such a beautiful little girl every day, unlike us, all of them are rough masters, more boring than the grass and mountains!"
Zhao Zhuangtou laughed: "Then you come often, with your grade, you have annual leave every year, but we ask you not to come." If we hadn't needed to recuperate this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of us. β
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Xue Ying didn't bother much, and after seeing the ceremony, she went into the inner courtyard to find Master Liuli.
Master Liuli was a little sick, and after seeing Xue Ying, he chatted briefly and sent her away. But Xue Ying kept returning to the gate of the courtyard, only to find that in addition to Aunt He'an and Qiaoya, there was another person beside her-Bolt.
It's so weird, when did he show up, and why didn't he have any presence at all?!
After Aunt He'an walked away, she asked the bolt, "Did you just go up the mountain with us?"
The plug nodded.
What the hell? She didn't notice it at all!
"Ah, bolt, did you hear anything funny today?" Qiao Ya was very accustomed to her brother's elusiveness, and turned her attention directly to other places.
The embolus shook his head.
"No......" Qiaoya was a little disappointed.
"No wonder you have so much gossip news, can't it also be the credit of the plug?" Xue Ying asked.
"Don't mention it, all he hears are strange things that he doesn't understand. Qiaoya was disdainful.
"Don't understand the words?" Saying this, Xue Ying became curious, and pointed to her room with her finger, "Let's go, let's have a good talk." β
The bolt and Wang Orion didn't know what they had learned, and they became more and more clumsy. But fortunately, there is also a "decoder" next to Qiaoya, who forcibly "translated" a few keywords.
Sichuan Shuai, raids, massacres, thousands of people's fingers, and public resentment boiling.
After last year's rebellion, Qiaoya now has a little understanding of the situation on the border, pointing to these keywords, she speculated: "Could it be that we have been attacked by the Northern Plains again?"
"The soldiers in the Northern Xinjiang Theater are not idiots, can they fall twice in one pit?" Xue Ying's index finger clicked on the first two words, a little puzzled, "Chuan Shuai?"
"It's the head of the Northern Xinjiang Theater, Uncle Gu can worship him!" Qiao Ya said, "I heard San Lang say that Uncle Gu is a left forward, and then he is still the right-hand man of this Sichuan Shuai." When he said this, he was angry, and he didn't know what to be proud of!"
"The Great Marshal ...... of the Northern Xinjiang Theater" Xue Ying's fingers moved back little by little, and finally stopped at "boiling public resentment".
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Qiaoya couldn't bear it: "Miss, what are you looking at?"
Xue Ying suddenly sneered: "Really, there is no shortage of rabble in any era." β
"What crow box seeds?" Qiao Ya was puzzled.
Xue Ying's fingers began to calculate from the first word: "Chuan Shuai formulated a preemptive strategy to raid the Northern Plains ......" his fingers stopped and muttered, "Slaughter ......"
"Meaning, did we kill a lot of people in the Northern Plains?" Qiao Ya didn't look naΓ―ve now, and showed an unbearable look.
"Because of the massacre, it caused thousands of people to point out and even the people's resentment boiled?" Xue Ying withdrew her hand and sighed.
Qiao Ya thought about it, after all, Uncle Gu was his own person, so he couldn't help but argue: "But fighting is meant to die, and it can't be all Chuan Shuai's fault, right?"
"Qiaoya, do you know how many people the Northern Plains raided the northern frontier last winter and killed?"
Qiaoya was stunned by this question and didn't answer.
"More than 300 miles deep into Dagu, more than 50,000 civilians on the border were slaughtered, and the land was scorched everywhere. Xue Ying looked at her from afar, "Slaughter, what a terrible word." β
"So, is Chuan Shuai doing this for revenge?"
"Who knows? I don't know this man. However, as the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Theater, he should not be so rash. β
"And what is he for?"
Xue Ying shook her head slowly: "I hope it's not for my own selfish desires." β
