60. Death of the country
The sun is on the pole, the sun is shining, and the shadows of the people in the back mountains are floating.
The gentle breeze in the forest caresses the treetops, and the cicadas chirp in the branches and make the first waves. In this mountain, as the days go by, the spring has inadvertently faded, and the heat has increased a little.
The sky here is clear, and the brothers in the stockade have become accustomed to it. Under the scorching sun, he is still waiting for the daily training in the village.
drank saliva, and only complained about today's sun, how it was a little more poisonous.
One of them, a tall man with a square face, changed his expression a little today, and at this moment he was looking up at the three or two brothers beside him and said, "Hey, brothers, I saw that girl in the village yesterday. β
"I heard that there is more than one girl living in this village now, Second Brother Xue, which one are you talking about?" The lean little brother on the side heard the sound and asked curiously.
"The girl Lu who came a few days ago."
The three words swept past his ears, and the ensuing Gao Xun tightened his eyes and stopped suddenly.
"Xue Er, you are a little bold." Xu San raised his eyes and looked at him, smiling a little ill-willedly, "You dare to worry about the people brought back by the second master." β
"Bah, you kid, just think everyone is as dirty as you?" Xue Yong reprimanded him, and hurriedly explained: "I only happened to see her fetching water yesterday, and I was afraid that she would fall into the well with that thin appearance." β
"Tsk, I don't know which girl it is."
sighed, and the people below only shook their heads and echoed when they heard this description in his words. Most of them were small soldiers and young generals who were rescued during the war, or horsemen who came out of the mountains later, and they had never seen the appearance of Princess Jin. Except for a few cronies who used to be with Sima Jing, the rest of them didn't even know Gao Xun's identity.
Seeing this, Guan Yi, who was the leader, put on a black face and interrupted everyone's discussion: "She is combing a woman's hair in a bun, she should be a wife, we mountain barbarians, still call other people's girls here, maybe it's a little inappropriate." β
The words fell, but the people who looked down were even more curious.
"Brother Guan, have you seen it too?"
The rules in the village have always been strict, but now there are a few more girls, and it is no wonder that the men are tempted for a while, and they have a bit of spring.
Guan Yi nodded sneeringly, lowered his voice and said, "I really look sad, and I don't know what happened before." β
"What else can there be, I see, this sad appearance must be thinking of my husband who has been away for a long time-"
The ridiculous tone fluttered into Gao Xun's ears, and the pair of dark eyes were even more bottomless little by little.
Thousands of miles away in the imperial city, when the last trace of sparks burned out in the flashy palace, the great country that had flourished for a hundred years finally fell into the bag of the Huns.
In the 181st year of the Yuan Kingdom, Qin Li rebelled and led his troops to attack the city. In his collusion, the Xiongnu Khan King Uweichi then occupied Kyoto and enjoyed the state. The imperial city fell, Uweichi collected the territory, changed the name of the country, and renamed the capital city of Beijing to Hanchuan.
The dignified Yuan has now been reduced to a small vassal state under the hands of the Xiongnu.
On the night of the city breaking, Qin Li captured the emperor of the Yuan State alive in the palace. He cut off his head in full view of the crowd and hung it rampantly above the city gates. People inside and outside the city only saw this round-eyed, dried-up corpse for more than a few days.
When Gao Xun learned the news, he snorted coldly:
"The blame is self-inflicted, and there is more than innocent death."
She walked briskly into the courtyard, expressionless on her face. The sparse sleeves of the robe hung low, but the knuckles were still clearly clenched together.
Taking a deep breath, the light scent of grass slowly came out in a circle in his chest, still full of resentment.
Gao Xun slowly closed his eyes, and his heart trembled uncontrollably.
Why in the end, we must force ourselves and this people to this situation step by step!
The breeze in the courtyard has stopped, and the grass and trees are quiet.
The sound of birds singing one after another in the mountains inexplicably adds a bit of dryness to people's hearts.
"Qiangβ"
In the distance, the sword was unsheathed and headed straight for the thin figure. It wasn't until I put on that layer of softness that I could not stop.
Gao Xun opened his eyes unhurriedly, and his gaze fell on the man.
The cold blade of the sword pressed against her snow-white neck, cutting through the delicate skin, slowly oozing a slender streak of blood.
The person in front of him always stood in place without hiding partially. The bright red liquid dripped down, staining the plain clothes with half a layer of scarlet.
Her bare eyebrows were still cold.
Ye Xiuying held the sword in her hand, like this on her neck, Huo Ran said: "Sima Jing doesn't know, my father intends to keep you alive, but I won't let you go." If you dare to play any tricks here, the next time, the sword will stop not only here. β
Bai Sang lowered his eyes, and the words he spit out were faint: "I know." β
"You are not allowed to bully my sister!"
As soon as the words fell, a boy suddenly ran out from behind, holding the legs of the person holding the sword in front of him tightly with both hands, and bit it down when he opened his mouth, forcing Ye Xiuying to retract his sword.
"And you!"
As soon as he turned his head, his eyebrows were twisted, and his immature fingertips pointed straight at Gao Xun not far away, and the high children's voice was a little clearer than the cicadas in the mountains, and it really fell into the ears of the other three.
"Sister treats you so attentively. You disappeared for a long time and didn't say anything, and now you still treat her like this, hum, I know, you're not a good person! β
"Cassiaβ"
Bai Sang stepped forward a few steps and covered his younger brother's mouth.
I'm not a good person?
Gao Xun fell into his eyes and sneered in his heart.
Then just make the bad guys thorough!
She narrowed her eyes, a twinkle in her eyes.
"Ah Ying, take him away."
"Cassia!"
The person in front of him finally panicked, looked at her and said in a panic:
"What are you going to doβ"
Gao Xun swept over the slender figure, stepped forward, and dragged her into the room.
"Do what?" She slammed the door and sank her eyebrows, but she still couldn't hide the long-pent-up hatred: "I want to thank Miss Lu for saving her life." β
Bai Sang raised his head suddenly, and when his eyes met, he couldn't find the gentleness of the past from those deep eyes.
She turned her face in a daze, and her clear and shallow eyes were finally dyed with a layer of waves.
"Lu Baisang, you sue me." Gao Xun approached step by step, stretched out his hand, and pinched her jaw fiercely. Forcing her to raise her head again, she gritted her teeth, and asked in a deep voice:
"What are you using in front of me this time?"
