Chapter 91: The Year

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Zuo Jingzhi raised his hand and stroked the hair hanging on Mo Fuluo's shoulders, and looked at her carefully.

There is more cold air between the eyebrows, and there is a bright water in the eyes, but it is difficult to hide the thin coldness in the depths, and there is no childlike innocence, only the grudges that cannot be washed away in the world.

"Uncle Jingzi, I'm here today to ask you about the incident eight years ago." Mo Fuluo stabilized his mind and said it slowly, but he was afraid of being directly rejected by Zuo Jingzhi, so he was careful everywhere.

The corners of Zuo Jingzhi's mouth twitched, revealing a somewhat embarrassed smile, he reached out and patted Mo Fuluo's head, and said with a forced smile: "Let's eat something in the first room." ā€

Mo Fuluo's thoughts fell into a temporary stasis, and when he raised his hand to grab something, the person in front of him had already walked back to the small kitchen under the shed, and a sound of stir-frying came out, and a thin cooking smoke rose, and he couldn't see the face clearly.

"Don't worry, let's listen to my father and eat first."

Zuo Feng stood next to Mo Fuluo, looking at her too obvious dejected appearance, and felt unbearable for the first time.

"Hmm." Mo Fuluo replied lightly, and turned his gaze to look at the few wooden stakes placed in the courtyard.

The wood texture on the surface has been ground to a smooth surface, which shows that some people often use it. It seems that although Zuo Jingzhi has resigned and returned to the field to stay away from the battlefield over the years, he has never let go of practicing kung fu and strengthening his physique.

This point overlaps with the image of the heroic general who galloped on the battlefield in his memory.

It's just that Mo Fuluo glanced at Zuo Feng, the glorious young man was obsessed with chess, and his thin and weak body could be described as powerless, and he turned out to be Zuo Jingzhi's son, and he couldn't help but sigh for a while.

Zuo Feng had been paying close attention to Mo Fuluo, and seeing her expression at the moment, he immediately guessed what the other party was thinking, coughed lightly to show his sense of existence, and then couldn't help but speak: "Although I haven't inherited my father's strong martial arts, I am also very powerful, and ordinary sinister people can't get close!" ā€

Mo Fuluo blinked, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, which was no less than the noon sun, and he looked more agile.

The pink lips closed slightly, and the next moment he was already standing on a stake.

Looking at Mo Fuluo's flickering figure, a different color flashed on Zuo Jingzhi's face, his mouth opened and he wanted to say something, but finally moved his gaze to the stove again, and only said: "The meal is ready, let's go into the house and eat together." ā€

Hearing this, Zuo Feng didn't look at Mo Fuluo anymore, trotted to the shed and took the dishes in Zuo Jingzhi's hand, and the father and son entered the house one after the other.

Mo Fuluo jumped off the stake and walked into the hut, where Zuo Jingzhi and Zuo Feng had already sat down next to each other. Zuo Jingzhi raised his hand and pointed to the stool opposite him, and Mo Fuluo walked over and sat on it.

The atmosphere of the meal is a little depressing, Zuo Jingzhi is serious and even a little old-fashioned, and he will never say a word more when he eats. Zuo Feng talked a lot outside, but after returning home, he also became silent, and only kept picking up vegetables in his mouth, which can be described as gobbling up. Mo Fuluo was very worried, how could he eat as much as he could, so he only took two mouthfuls of food and put his chopsticks aside.

"I'll go out for a walk." Mo Fuluo stood up, she felt that she would be out of breath if she stayed in this room any longer.

"Wait." Zuo Jingzhi stopped Mo Fuluo, glanced at Zuo Feng, who was still chewing vegetables in his mouth, and said sharply: "After eating, you go out first." ā€

Zuo Feng almost choked on a mouthful of rice, and glanced at Zuo Jingzhi with some resentment, but Zuo Jingzhi's momentum was too overwhelming, so he could only reluctantly put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the house slowly.

"Well, sit down!"

Zuo Jingzhi sighed heavily, what Mo Fuluo wanted to ask was like a thorn in his old heart, it was eight years, if he wanted to pull it out, he had to think carefully about where to start.

Mo Fuluo sat down slowly, quietly looking at Zuo Jingzhi on the opposite side, but his heart had already turned over the river and the sea.

She knew that Zuo Jingzhi was sorting out her thoughts, and she would soon tell the whole story of that incident.

Zuo Jingzhi's eyes gradually changed from sharp to deep, and after a few flashes, he slowly returned to calm, and suddenly seemed to be several years old.

Mo Fuluo sat opposite and waited quietly, until Zuo Jingzhi's expression was completely calm, and then he heard a difficult voice from his mouth that seemed to come out word by word.

Back then, Ran Heng, as the only son of the respected prime minister Ran Xutu, did not inherit his father's civil official style, but was on the battlefield and was mighty. The expedition to the south and the north has made great achievements.

The year Zuo Jingzhi narrated was the summer eight years ago. Ran Heng set out with 100,000 Daji iron cavalry, which was a desperate battle with the neighboring Southern Qi, but suffered heavy casualties, and finally defeated the border city of Yunhu City. Han Liuyuan, the deputy general who had been following Ran Heng for many years, was accompanied by Han Liuyuan, who had survived and returned to Daji with less than 10,000 surviving soldiers.

Daji sent an army of 100,000 troops, and also sent the brave and warlike General Ran Heng as the commander, but in the end he suffered heavy casualties and lost the hinterland, which had to make Emperor Yanchang angry. This incident became a fuse for the Ran family to be destroyed.

Although defeat is a common thing, there is no shortage of people who have a grudge against the Ran family in the Daji court, whether it is an official or a general, so there are many people who take advantage of this defeat to start making a big fuss. Later, there was even word of mouth among the people that this battle was not that my Daji soldiers were inferior to the Nanqi barbarians, but that the Daji general Ran Heng had already had the heart of defeat!

On the same day, the armies of the two sides fought a decisive battle in Yunhu City, but Ran Heng ordered the people to open the city gate, and then led the soldiers directly into the opponent's station, and fell into the trap set by the Southern Qi, and the 100,000 army collapsed overnight.

Originally, the rumors were not credible, but the more they spread, the more true they became. Until Han Liuyuan, the deputy general next to General Ran Heng, risked his life to enter the palace on a summer night, and presented the evidence that he was ordered by Ran Heng to open the city gate and enter the enemy's trap that day, which became a fatal blow that pushed this incident to a high place.

Subsequently, Emperor Yanchang ordered people to interrogate the thousands of surviving soldiers overnight, and received a unanimous reply: It is true that Ran Heng opened the city gate, and it is also true that Ran Heng led them into the trap of Southern Qi! And the most important point of the matter is that with Ran Heng's ability to lead troops, he will not make such a mistake, so there is only one truth left: what if this general is deliberately defeated?

Emperor Yanchang was furious and ordered Ran Heng to be imprisoned, and the people in Ran's mansion were not allowed to leave the mansion for a single step, and all of them were waiting for interrogation!

The incident happened suddenly, and when Zuo Jingzhi rushed to the gate of the palace, he only had time to risk death to intercept the holy decree. But not long after, the news came that the entire Ran family was wiped out, and Ran Heng killed himself in front of the gate of Tongyang County!

......

"I don't believe my father would do anything like that! Who exactly framed the father? Since the decree has not been issued, who are the people who killed my whole family?! Mo Fuluo's eyes were red, and his hoarse voice almost erupted directly from his heart, with lingering hatred and a grudge that could not be dissolved!

"Why, why?"

"It's not for revenge, it's for power......"

If her revenge heart was still shaking before hearing Zuo Jingzhi tell about this, then at this moment, Mo Fuluo had already made up her mind!

"It's not that he hasn't done it, it's that some people want him to do it! After your accident, I was disheartened and stayed away from the court, although I was unwilling, but it was to save my life! Zuo Jingzhi's voice revealed endless pain and desolation.
