It's the third day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhan Ying looked at the sunlight shining through the small window in the prison and estimated that it would be noon soon. She knelt down slowly facing the west, her already heroic eyebrows and eyes were even more awe-inspiring at the moment. She held back the tears in her eyes, her father's righteous face shook in front of her, her mother's always gentle and smiling eyes, the eldest brother was gentle and serious, the second brother laughed heartily, his skin was dark, and he liked to rub her hair with his big palm, the third brother stood under the tree, wearing silver armor and a spear, and called to her, "A-Ying, the third brother brought you back the box you like" The sister-in-law is also a Jiangmen woman, with a little spicy; I even thought of the generals of the Zhanjia Army who always followed my father, Uncle Zhan, Uncle Li, and Brother Gongsun...

All the years in 16 years, all the people in my life suddenly squeezed into my mind, and suddenly scattered into pieces... The bright sun outside darkened, and the torrential rain was like a note, Zhan Ying couldn't support it anymore and fainted.

When I woke up, I don't know how much time had passed, but I was woken up by the prison guard.

"The female prisoner Zhan Ying, she will go on the road tomorrow and be sent to Yanyang City to serve hard labor, according to the law, she has to stab her in the face, come with me!"

Follow the prison guard to a dark room, where an old man and a few tools for tattooing are waiting. The old man looked at Zhan Ying's heroic eyebrows and eyes, and sighed slowly, "The old man has received the kindness of the war minister in his early years, and he has not repaid it, and he doesn't want the war minister to suffer this fate... But this rule is old and rotten and there is no right to dispense with it, and I can prick it on your forehead with the lightest paint, not on your cheek."

The needle was applied again and again, the force was extremely shallow, and it did not hurt, but the needle pierced Zhan Ying's heart. Hate, pain, and shame. Daddy, you're right, I have to clear the name of the war family, and I can't let you and the ancestors under the Yellow Spring also carry the same sense of shame as I do today. She stroked the tattooed words on her forehead, brushed some of the hair on her forehead to block it, and her eyes burned with determination.

The next day, Zhan Ying and a dozen other people who had been exiled to Yanyang City for their convictions set off at the same time. Those who can be exiled to hard labor are generally not heinous criminals, so according to the law, they do not need to wear shackles, only tattoos, and are relatively free. Upon arrival, as long as you do not leave the jurisdiction of the local state where you are assigned.

When he was about to leave the city, a carriage was already waiting there, and the little man who led the horse whispered a few words to the messenger of the leader, took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it secretly, and the messenger checked it, and said with satisfaction, "Hurry up, you have to hurry out of the city soon."

Zhan Ying was brought to the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage was raised

"Uncle Yan?"

In the carriage is the current dynasty minister, Yuan and Zhan Ying's father Wu Xiang respectively hold the power of the country's literature and military, and is the most powerful person in the country except for the emperor. Wen Xiang has a face that is different from his father's perennial leading of soldiers and fighting on the battlefield without anger and self-authority, Wen Xiang is more than fifty years old, but his appearance is quite well-maintained, white, and there are no wrinkles, he has a finely trimmed hair, wears ordinary clothes, and does not have the arrogance of those in power, Zhan Ying has only seen him a few times, and he always has a smile in his impression.

Yan Zhiyuan with faint tears, "Niece, your Uncle Yan is incompetent, and the emperor asked me to investigate this errand because I wanted to try my best to find the evidence of your father's innocence, but I had no choice but to check for more than a month or... Despite this, the old man still does not believe that he will be a traitor to the country. Before he was imprisoned, he entrusted the old man to keep the war family's military book, and now fortunately, the war family still has your bloodline, so I will return this military book to you now, which is also a thought. Yan Zhiyuan handed over a book wrapped in sheepskin

"In addition to this, does your father have any other relics left to you, can you give them to the old man, and the old man will burn three pillars of incense on the case day and night to send his sorrows?"

Zhan Ying's heart warmed slightly, and he withdrew the wrench on his thumb, "Uncle Yan, now that my family has been charged with this crime, others are afraid to avoid it, Uncle Yan, you have this intention, presumably my father will also thank you for your kindness under Jiuquan, and the only thing my father left me is the ring that has been with me for many years, and my father should agree to stay with you."

Wen Xiang took the ring and rubbed it for a moment, "Since it is the only relic and a personal thing, it is inconvenient for the old man to take it, you take good care of it." I've already dealt with the servants, so that you won't suffer too much on the road, and when you get to Yanyang City, I will also send a letter to let the chief of the slaves take care of you, that's all the old man can do."

Zhan Ying made a big gift, "Thank you, Uncle Yan, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will report it"

Yan Zhiyuan looked at the 16-year-old girl in front of him, not as weak as other women, Zhan Ying's body was already taller than other women, similar to his father's heroic thick eyebrows, eyes as bright as stars, plus the sparse temperament of a general's woman, with a strong and stubborn look on her face after the family change. is not beautiful, but she has her own bearing than ordinary women.

After a short period of apprehension, Yan Zhiyuan said, "Don't pass it like this, live well and never come back"

Zhan Ying saluted again, turned around and entered the ranks, and the team set off into the distance. Yan Zhiyuan still had a kind smile

"Are you all ready?"

The entourage was very afraid of Wen Xiang's look, "Master Xiang, I have done everything you explained"

The curtain of the carriage was lowered, and the carriage turned back to the city.

All kinds of hardships on the way were omitted, and after two and a half months, they finally arrived in Yanyang City.

Yanyang City, the farthest city in Yasukuni, has a very short spring and autumn season and the longest winter in a year. In the summer, there are extreme weather in the day, which is extremely hot during the day and very cold at night. It would be a mistake to think that such a harsh climate must be a barren and barren land. Due to its unique geographical advantages, Yanyang City is a cargo distribution center and trade center. All kinds of jewelry ores from Yaoguo, all kinds of herbs and wood from Wuguo, all kinds of furs, cattle, sheep and horses from Bianguo, coral pearls and salt from Southern Zhejiang. There are also Yasukuni's own tea, paper, cloth, silk, cotton and linen, etc. There are even countries from as far away as Solo who come to trade spices, precious stones, wine, etc.

Because of this, Yanyang City is an extremely open and complex place, with many ethnic groups and countries living together, and there are often frictions, and there are often other countries trying to occupy this treasure land. Therefore, Yanyang has the most fortifications, the city wall has been repeatedly repaired, and the army is also stationed the most.

Zhan Ying's father guarded Yanyang City in his early years, and when she was a child, she had heard her father describe the customs of Yanyang countless times, and now she was assigned to this place, she felt a little comforted in her heart, this is the place where her father guarded, you can think about her father's heroic posture back then, and maybe you can find traces of her father's life back then.
