Ten miles to the north outside the town of Gold and Silver, there is a mound full of graves of the dead. Because this town is very close to Zhenyuguan, every autumn and winter when the Meng people invade the border, there are always many people who have fled from the front line with serious injuries and die here. Among these people, some are disabled veterans, some are cowardly deserters after being hit hard, and more are ordinary people who have been exiled here after being harmed by Li Meng**. Because the identities of some of them are difficult to verify after their deaths, and no one is willing to pay for their funerals, the bodies of such people are usually thrown into this cemetery specially used for burial by the yamen miscellaneous servants. At first, these handymen may have been kind enough to bury them, but later, as more and more people died, they simply threw their bodies on the ground.

On weekdays, it's rarely a place where people pass by, because walking in this graveyard will stumble on the bones of a poor man in the wilderness of violent corpses at any point. Of all the horror stories that can stop children crying at night in Gold and Silver Town, there are ten ** places where the incident happened here.

However, in this terrifying mass grave today, two small soldiers actually appeared. The two of them drove a mule cart, and after parking here, they unloaded a few large boxes from the cart.

"It's really unlucky, the boss himself was punished by the general for being greedy for ink, and even the pawn who didn't drink a sip of soup like us was implicated to do this kind of lowly work." One of them muttered reluctantly.

The other, on the other hand, seemed a little timid, and did not answer his words, but only raised his head from time to time to look around, occasionally shrunching his shoulders.

"Hahaha, Zhao Laosi, look at your bear-like appearance!" The man who had just complained was very bold and in the mood to laugh at his companion.

Zhao Laosi, who has always been a good person, actually got angry at this time. "Shut up! Yang Haozi, you are not a local and don't know, once upon a time we had a handyman who specialized in throwing corpses, just because he laughed with people when he threw corpses, guess what? When they returned, they died violently that night! In the future, no one will dare to laugh in this place, and if you don't believe in evil, you will die! Don't bother me if you die yourself! ”

After scolding his companions, Zhao Laosi bowed to all sides very reverently, and muttered words like "strange and strange".

Yang Haozi pouted noncommittally, although he thought that Zhao Laosi was exaggerating, but he didn't dare to make fun of him anymore.

The two unloaded all the boxes in silence, and Yang Haozi was about to open the lid of one of them, but was pulled by Zhao Laosi.

"Are you really going to stab every dead man in the neck?"

Yang Haozi glanced at him and said angrily: "Do you think I want to?" Isn't this what the broken general ordered? ”

"They're dead, let's stop doing this. The deceased is big, this place is very evil, if we dare to be disrespectful to the corpse, it is estimated that it will attract the revenge of these lonely souls and ghosts. Zhao Laosi looked left and right, and always felt that his heart was hairy.

Yang Haozi was a little hesitant. It's not that he is really so loyal to his duties, but not long ago, the two squad leaders who accepted bribes from the Limeng people were ordered by the new young general to be flogged forty times in public, and the guards he brought with him were personally executed. Their immediate boss happens to be one of them. Seeing that the invincible captain on weekdays was beaten all over his body and drenched in blood, Yang Haozi was really a little stunned.

"This ...... It's not very good, if someone knows about it, I don't know if these lonely souls will find us, then General Jiang will definitely not let us go. ”

Zhao Laosi still did not give up convincing him. "It's just you and me here, if you don't say it, I won't say who knows! Besides, these people were all thrown into the box by our own hands, and they have long since died so that they can't die anymore, and it's the same whether they wipe this knife or not! Let's leave after unloading, I don't want to stay in this place for a moment! ”

Yang Haozi thought to himself, could it be that the general would send someone back to check on such a trivial matter? So he didn't raise any more objections, and together with Zhao Laosi, he sped up his movements, and quickly lifted the last two big boxes down and threw them on the ground at will.

The breeze of late autumn seemed to be extremely cold at the moment, and as soon as he finished throwing the box, Zhao Laosi couldn't wait to urge: "Let's go!" ”

Yang Haozi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't stand the continuous urging of his companions, and finally didn't say anything, jumped on the mule cart, and drove away with him.

After they left, the wind was still raging. At some point, a dark cloud drifted in the sky, obscuring the already somewhat lazy sun, and the graveyard that had fallen into the gloom looked even more ghostly. Suddenly, one of the boxes full of dead people had its lid lifted open, and a man with a face as white as paper crawled out of it.

****

The next day, under the escort of Jiang Yunfei, Shen Bin, together with the injured Minyi, and the brothers and sisters of Bi Tuo, got into the carriage to Chengzhou. The son who hadn't seen him for more than a year was a hundred miles away, and Shen Bin said that he would see him first before returning to the capital. Minyi didn't want to go back so soon, firstly, she had to follow her master to continue to learn skills, and secondly, she didn't want to let go of Jiang Yunfei's stinky boy so lightly, so she insisted on following despite the other party's repeated dissuasion.

When Jiang Yun flew in, he took the whole team of cavalry to hurry up and hurried all night to arrive at dawn. But it was different when they went back, several carriages were not going fast in the first place, and there was a noble wounded who could not withstand the bumps, so they only stepped into the city of Yunzhou the next day.

"Daddy!"

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Shen Bin heard a familiar call, and before he could react, his son pounced on him like he did when he was a child.

In the past, Shen Bin would always pick him up, and even lift him up and throw him twice in the air. Now that his son is older, he can only hug him back, pat his back with his hand, and gently respond to the sound in his mouth, and tears will flow out of his eyes.

"Dad, you have suffered along the way!" Shen Ze couldn't hide his excitement. This handsome man who strategized in the hearts of the border soldiers did not care about his image at this time, like a child, crying and laughing at his father.

Shen Bin wiped the tears from his face for him, squeezed out a smile comfortingly, and shook his head gently. "I'm much better now than before, I don't have to suffer much, really! But you really have to thank Minyi for this child, not only did she take care of me along the way, but she also risked her life to save my life in the end. I plan to recognize Her Eldest Princess as a righteous daughter after returning to Beijing in the future, with the consent of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. ”

Shen Ze hurriedly walked up to Minyi and bowed gratefully. "The county lord's great kindness cannot be repaid, no matter what orders he has in the future, he will die in the next ten thousand years!"

The two had already known each other, so Minyi smiled playfully and helped him up with both hands. "Ah Hua and I are like sisters, in public and private, taking care of the grandfather of the country is what I should do, and the son of the world does not have to be like this. But when it comes to commands, I really have a small request. ”

Shen Ze didn't know what was happening in Jinyin Town, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. "County Lord, please speak."

"I want Jiang Yunfei's stinky boy to serve me until his injuries heal, and he said that he wouldn't dare to agree without your instructions. So I asked the son for a favor, and borrowed this boy for a month. Shizi, you won't refuse such a small request, will you? ”

Shen Ze knew that Minyi was not the kind of person who was unreasonable, and immediately understood that Jiang Yunfei must have offended her somewhat. After thinking about the recent battle plan and confirming that there was nothing to do with this kid's participation, I sold him without hesitation.

"Yunfei, from today onwards, you will be responsible for obeying the orders of the county lord, she is my father's life-saving benefactor, and also my future sister-in-law, you want to treat her as well as me, do you know?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yunfei thought that his brother-in-law would help him, but he never expected him to say this, so he opened his mouth wide in surprise for a while, stunned. (To be continued.) )
