Chapter XXIII: Before the Storm
After leaving the tea shed, Yi Feng directly bought a fast horse, and after five days of galloping, he finally arrived at the territory of South Korea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he set foot on Korean soil again, everything in front of him was different from what he remembered.
The once simple village is no longer visible. The ruins and walls are desolate, and there are traces of war everywhere.
It's just that there are still a few people who are nostalgic for the countryside of their hometown, and they are still alive in this ruin, but when they see strangers, they will curl up in fear and dare not look at their figures.
"Grandma, I'm hungry." Next to a mound of earth, a little girl trembled and said to an old man beside her.
When the old man saw the little girl talking loudly, he immediately took her in his arms and motioned for her not to speak.
Yi Feng looked at this scene in a daze, he led the horse and walked to the mound step by step.
When the old man saw Yi Feng leaning over, he hugged the girl in his arms tighter.
Yi Feng's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say anything. He put his hand into his baggage and prepared to bring two pieces of dry food for the little girl to eat.
Maybe it's because the fear of war is still a little jealous! The old man fell to his knees. He cried, "This lord begs you not to kill my granddaughter, please." ”
Yi Feng's hand that reached into the burden trembled slightly, he wanted to give them his own dry food to eat, but the old man must have thought that he was trying to harm them!
His eyes were slightly red, and he took all the dry food out of his baggage, and he picked up the old man, gave her all the dry food in the baggage, and then he got up and led the horse and left the place.
The old man looked at Yi Feng's figure in a daze, and suddenly said tremblingly, "Thank you." ”
Yi Feng didn't respond to the old man, his heart was very heavy, and he was afraid that when he faced the old man again, he couldn't help but shed tears.
The desolation of the four wildernesses seemed to be endless, and the black crow that stayed on the dead branches seemed to be watching everything that was happening in the world, and let out a cry.
……
Sinjeong, South Korea.
Wei Zhuang stood on top of the high hall and looked at the people of His Highness with a stern face.
"Why, do you think Han Yu has the ability to lead Korea to rebel against Qin." Wei Zhuang's cold voice seemed to freeze the entire palace, and those Korean nobles who were standing under His Royal Highness did not dare to come out.
After a long time, a white-haired old man trembled and said: "We all know the ability of Lord Weizhuang, but the fourth prince is the royal family of South Korea after all, and our rebel army should have a leader, Lord Weizhuang used to be a general in Korea, and he should understand this truth." ”
"Hiss"
In the main hall, the sound of the golden snake spitting out a letter suddenly sounded. Chi Lian twisted his waist and walked to the minister's side with a smile on his face. He said softly: "What Lord Li Cheng means, is that Lord Weizhuang can't sit on this throne. ”
Li Cheng saw the Chilian King Snake on Chi Lian's body and hissed at him. A trace of cold sweat immediately surged up on his body, but he didn't know where he got the courage from, and said with trembling legs: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the old minister didn't mean that. Lord Wei Zhuang is unparalleled in the country, and the Korean soldiers who lead us must be the best candidates, but ......"
"Ahh Li Cheng exclaimed, only to see the Chilian King Snake on Chi Lian's waist rushing towards it suddenly, and his whole person sat on the ground at the moment.
Wei Zhuang snorted coldly, he looked at Li Cheng, who was sitting on the ground and sweating profusely, and said coldly: "You are very courageous, I appreciate you." What you just said is right, the rebel army in Korea does need a monarch, but it's not Han Woo, he doesn't deserve it at all. Don't worry, I won't be this monarch, someone else will be this monarch. ”
The ministers all showed doubts on their faces, since Wei Zhuang didn't do it, Han Yu didn't do it either. So who will be the monarch?
I saw a white-robed young general wearing white armor come out of the crowd, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Weizhuang, the country cannot be without a king for a day, the soldiers of South Korea need a king to lead our rebel army after all, South Korea and even the Seven Kingdoms know the ability of Lord Weizhuang, and I, Han Xu, am willing to support Lord Weizhuang as the king." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Chi Lian's mouth, and she looked at Wei Zhuang with affection.
I saw that Wei Zhuang's expression did not change, but a trace of murderous intent gradually appeared on his body.
"I just said that there are people who are the monarchs of South Korea, and I hope that General Han will not make reckless remarks. The monarch of the Korean rebel army was none other than Yi Feng, the tenth son of King Han. ”
"What, it turned out to be the Ten Princes, how could he lead us."
"That's right! How could it be him. ”
Bursts of discussion suddenly sounded above the main hall.
Chi Lian looked at Wei Zhuang with some surprise, she was a little puzzled why Wei Zhuang gave up being the king of South Korea.
Wei Zhuang glanced at Chi Lian lightly, and he saw that the chattering voices under the hall were pointing at Yi Feng.
He immediately said loudly: "You have had enough! ”
There was a sudden silence in the main hall.
"White Phoenix."
"The subordinates are here."
"Calculate the time, there are still three days before Yi Feng should come to Xinzheng, you go and take a look."
"Yes"
As soon as the words fell, Bai Feng's figure disappeared into the main hall in an instant.
In the main hall, all the ministers showed surprise on their faces, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.
……
Yangzhai, South Korea.
In a remote village, it was already dark, and Yi Feng planned to find a family here to spend the night.
After consulting with a family, he tied the horses to the stable. After that, he walked into a firewood room.
Looking at the dry firewood piled up everywhere in the firewood room, Yi Feng smiled lightly.
If he had been two years ago, he might not have lived in such a cramped room. But now he doesn't care so much, and it's already a luxury to have a place to live.
At this moment, lying on a soft firewood and looking at the black roof, the old man and the child he met at noon appeared in his mind.
As a result of war, people live in displacement. People hate war, but people hate officers who eat people even more.
Although the Qin army attacked South Korea and there was no war in South Korea for two years, the people of South Korea still mourned, and in the final analysis, it was the Qin army officers who made the Korean people unable to live.
They burn, kill, rob and do all kinds of evil, how can people want such people to be their parents.
"Knock Knock"
There was a gentle knock on the door, Yi Feng's body moved, and the knock was still ringing. His brow furrowed slightly.
