Chapter Seventy-One: Conflict
"What about Wang Tiezong?" Shu Qingyue was silent for a moment before asking.
"Killed by General Qin." The soldier replied.
He's dead.
The revenge was avenged, but for some reason, Shu Qingyue's heart was still heavy.
The purple city was broken, and the emperor of the feather country surrendered.
At this time, including the Yu Kingdom, the Principality of Shu, the Pingshun Kingdom, the Liangchang Kingdom, the Six Kingdoms have died in the four countries, and the next one will be the Junxiang Kingdom.
Ning Sichen left 100,000 troops to garrison Zicheng, and the rest of the generals returned to the court.
The day after Chu Huiguo's army left, a young general of Chu Huiguo went to the Purple City prisoner of war camp.
"Open the door." The man had his head down, and the cell was dimly lit, and all he could see was that his skin was very white, and he couldn't see his face clearly. The man took out a token from his sleeve, and lit the side of the token on it, which was a general's order, and the soldier saw it and immediately opened the door.
In the cell, Zhang Zhiyong was the only one who was imprisoned, and at this time he was leaning against the wall, and he had more injuries on his body than before he was imprisoned, and he must have suffered a lot of beatings.
The same is true of the treatment of prisoners of war.
Hearing the movement, Zhang Zhiyong raised his head, but he was full of hatred for Chu Huiguo.
"I have something to ask him, you wait and step back first." The man said to the soldiers guarding the cell.
"This person is stubborn, the general be careful." The soldier reminded the man.
When the soldiers were gone, the man went into the cell.
The man walked in front of Zhang Zhiyong, squatted down, and took out the general token just now, but it turned to the other side, and in the center of the token, a "big" word was engraved. Chu Huiguo's token will be engraved with the general's surname on the back of the token to distinguish it. "Big", that is the token of General Chu Huiguo, and it is Shu Ziqian's previous token.
See that token. Zhang Zhiyong was a little surprised.
"Say, how did Shu Ziqian die?" The man asked, his voice soft, like that of a woman.
When you get closer, you can see the person's appearance clearly, this person is not a general at all, but She Shuman, who is dressed as a man.
"Who are you?" Zhang Zhiyong asked the man.
"You don't have to know." She Shuman did not answer.
Suddenly. The corners of Zhang Zhiyong's mouth rose. He actually laughed, and laughed meaningfully.
"It's Ning Sichen." Zhang Zhiyong said.
Ning Sichen! Sure enough, it's Ning Sichen! She Shuman got up and left, but Zhang Zhiyong was still smiling.
That same evening. Zhang Zhiyong died in prison.
Ziqian, I will definitely avenge you!
It's all the beginning, and it's far from the end.
Then return to the side of Chu Huiguo's army, and the class master must pass on the way back to the court. A bridge across the river fell into disrepair and collapsed.
Unable to cross the river, Ning Sichen ordered the whole army to camp on the spot.
In the military tent. Ning Sichen was not there, and Shu Qingyue had nothing to do, so she walked out.
A large number of soldiers were rebuilding the bridge, and Shu Qingyue was along the riverbank. Walking into the distance, the farther and farther I went, the voices behind me became quieter and quieter. until they are completely inaudible.
Shu Qingyue stopped at a stop on the riverbank, and she raised her face. Looking into the distance, there is an endless barrenness.
The battle of Purple City ended like this.
Obviously, one thing has ended, but Shu Qingyue's heart does not have that sense of relief at all.
Her eldest brother is dead, no matter if he dies a hundred Wang Tiezong or a thousand Wang Tiezong, Shu Ziqian will never come back to life.
Thinking of this, Shu Qingyue felt uncomfortable.
People, once lost, are lost.
Shu Qingyue didn't know how long she had been standing there, footsteps sounded behind her, Ning Sichen walked towards her step by step, and then stood beside her.
The cold wind in the wild swept wildly, and she was petite and weak in the wind. Ning Sichen took off his cloak and draped it on Shu Qingyue's shoulders.
"I always felt that I was just having a dream, as long as I woke up from the dream, my eldest brother was still there." Shu Qingyue said.
Ning Sichen was silent.
And until now, Shu Qingyue still doesn't know the truth about the battle in Purple City three years ago.
Regarding the matter of that battle, Ning Sichen never said a word to Shu Qingyue, he didn't want to hide it, but when a person starts to care about something, he will be afraid of losing because he cares.
He didn't want to meet her in battle.
Now, as soon as Wang Tiezong dies, Shu Qingyue may not know that Shu Ziqian's death is related to Ning Sichen.
But even so, Ning Sichen's heart felt like he was pressing something. Those things, whether others know about it or not, happened after all.
"Have you ever hated?" Ning Sichen asked.
"If you hate, you can bring the dead back to life, I don't hesitate to hate with all my feelings, but it can't." She said.
What can hatred change?
"I only hope that there will be no more wars in this world." After a long time, Shu Qingyue said again.
It was getting darker, the wind was stronger, and it was colder.
"Let's go back." Ning Sichen said to Shu Qingyue.
Shu Qingyue followed Ning Sichen and walked back.
"Marshal, General Qin clashed with Yuguo's troops." The barracks could already be seen in front, and a soldier hurriedly came over to report to Ning Sichen.
"Got it." Ning Sichen's eyes deepened and he went back in the direction of the barracks.
General Qin? Is it Qin Qi? Shu Qingyue also returned to the barracks with Ning Sichen.
In the barracks, Qin Qi and Yang Jiandong, the general of Yuguo, were arguing and refusing to give in to each other, and the soldiers on both sides had already picked up their weapons.
"What kind of food is this, is it for people to eat? Send the pigs and dogs. Yang Jiandong overturned the dining table with one hand, and the hot food was sprinkled on the ground, very arrogant. Ning Sichen said that as long as I open the city gate, I will be allowed to be a general. ”
"Traitor seeks glory, even people like you are worthy of being a general, I'm sorry." Qin Qi was indignant.
"What about the seller's quest for glory?" Yang Jiandong did not feel ashamed at all, nor did he show weakness at all. "Qin Qi, Shu Shengxuan is dead, Shu Mansion is down, you are not a lackey yet."
"You." Qin Qi was angry.
Someone made the first move, and Chu Huiguo's soldiers fought with Yuguo's troops.
"The marshal has arrived."
"Stop."
Ning Sichen ordered, the soldiers on both sides were unwilling to separate, and Qin Qi and Yang Jiandong were still fighting fiercely. Ning Sichen snatched the spear in the soldier's hand and rushed into the two who were still struggling to kill, he was agile, and his shot was extremely fast, only hearing the sound of "Zheng Zheng" twice, the weapons in Qin Qi and Yang Jiandong's hands fell to the ground together.
Yang Jiandong covered the back of his right hand, there was still blood flowing from between his fingers, and the place where he was just stabbed by Ning Sichen must have hurt his meridians. Qin Qi's situation was the same, the scratch on the back of his hand was hot and painful.
"Ning Sichen, you said okay, as long as you break the purple city, you will give me a general, and you won't cross the river and tear down the bridge." For Ning Sichen, Yang Jiandong was also arrogant. Three years ago, when he was a general, Ning Sichen was still a small soldier.
"This is Chu Huiguo's army, not Ning Sichen's world." In close combat, Qin Qi was shocked by Ning Sichen's martial arts, but this did not prevent Qin Qi from being hostile to Ning Sichen. (To be continued)
