Chapter 350: Cruel and Beautiful Corpse
Dao Yin vaguely guessed the identity of the woman who threatened him, and it might be the female messenger sent by the imperial court in General Liang's mouth. Although he was not sure, the balance in his heart had begun to tilt.
Yes, the grace of promotion is very important, and if he can, he doesn't want to betray General Liang one day. Even if he knew General Liang's personality and knew that what he did was not the right thing, but because he was kind to him, he still stood firmly by his side and made a sharp knife for him, just to repay the favor and for the glory and dignity of the family in the future.
Because, the conditions of the person behind General Liang are too tempting, so that even if he takes risks, he can't refuse such a temptation.
But now, things have gone awry. It is likely that the Qincha, who was supposed to be still on the road, had already hurried up, abandoned 50,000 troops, and came to Beiyan first, blended into the border city, and began to stir up the storm in this city.
And he, as well as General Liang, didn't even notice it at all.
If he just heard the name, even if there were terrible people in the rumors, he would not easily compromise. But the woman ...... If she is Qincha, then, with her means, the possibility of General Liang winning is almost none.
That person's methods are too weird. Separated by a yard, with a single leaf, it was easy to nail a spy who was eavesdropping outside the door to the wall.
It's not that he hasn't seen the miracle of a hundred steps through the poplar on the battlefield, but with only a thin leaf, he nails people to the hard stone wall at a distance of 100 steps? He thought he had seen a ghost.
But even after seeing such methods, he did not want to betray General Liang. But after guessing the identity of the other party, his heart was shaken.
The reason why he didn't want to betray was that he was very confident, even if the other party was strong in martial arts. But after all, there is only one person, and Beiyan has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and it is difficult to support alone, and it is not yet known who will die in the end. If he begged General Liang to rescue his nephew and deal with that woman in the future, he would still have a certain degree of certainty.
But if the other party is a Chin Cha......
The knife is unimaginable.
If it is a chincha, he will have a holy decree. The soldiers of Beiyan just obeyed orders. But he didn't want to commit treason. The imperial power was overwhelming in its restraint and oppression. As long as the emperor decrees a holy decree, they can immediately become chaotic ministers and thieves, and there are definitely not a few who want to atone for their sins.
Let alone. According to General Liang's words, the Qin Cha who came this time was General Fang's daughter. That's General Fang's daughter-in-law, how many people in the army know this eldest lady? How long can they hold on to their trick of temporarily blinding everyone by relying on some small means?
If you are caught by the other party. The truth was found. Then it is really a capital crime to destroy the nine clans, even the person behind General Liang, I am afraid that he only has the share of abandoning the car to protect the commander, whether it is worth taking the lives of the family and the crisis of the family's destruction to gamble on this opportunity to take off and prominence, he hesitated.
Betrayal is nothing more than insufficient leverage. He is not betrayed for money and status, but he can't help but think about the life and death of his family. He did so much and firmly followed General Liang's back. Isn't it just for the sake of glory and being able to get rid of the identity of a small soldier here. Can you lead your family into that imperial city and become a prominent person?
No matter how beautiful the picture cake is, you have to have a life to enjoy it. Once dead, there's nothing left.
What's more, his nephew, the only person in the Dao family who can inherit the incense, is still tied in the other party's hands, and these two fingers are like a needle, stabbing him in the heart fiercely.
"No matter who the opponent is, since you are the right-hand man of the general, the general will not let the sword family break the incense inheritance. Since this person is so rampant, she will definitely be called back! Liang Bo thought that Dao Yin's pale face was sad because he cared about his nephew, and in order to make Dao Yin more loyal to him, he hurriedly promised.
What's more, he has confidence in himself, how can a person with a heavy army be afraid of a few lonely people?
At this time, in Liang Bo's heart, the culprit of all this was Fang Jianzhang, he never thought that Fang Xiaoyu could pop up a flower under his nose at the beginning.
"Thank you, General, the last general is grateful." Dao Yin immediately made a grateful look, but he was thinking about something else.
Liang Bo immediately ordered a full search, door-to-door search, and he generously handed over the command of the search to Dao Yin.
It's also a good way to buy people's hearts. Bing, I'm out, command, I've given it to you. If you can't find anyone, you won't blame this on the general, you see, the general has done his duty.
Dao Yin is grateful for Dade's departure, but in fact, he knows very well in his heart that General Liang must not care as much about his nephew as he appears.
Who is General Liang, and how can he not know about following him for so many years?
If he was a human, he would not have betrayed General Fang, who had cultivated him, and locked him out of the city gate with his own hands to face the ravages and destruction of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.
Thinking about General Liang's personality, Dao Yin suddenly felt less guilty.
In the next two days, Dao Yin began to lead soldiers to search from house to house, which was huge, but it was obviously for people to see.
Of course, he was well aware of his nephew's current situation, so he was anxious, and the search was much faster.
Willow Hutong, here is a special place in Beiyan, and most of the houses in it are private houses purchased by some famous people, so he didn't dare to search too much.
And he knew very well that the house in the innermost part of Willow Hutong was actually his nephew's private property, so when he searched, he only knocked on the door symbolically, and the person he saw seemed to be nothing suspicious and went back.
A day later, several strange messages suddenly came from the border city.
One is that Fang Jianzhang was killed by his own henchmen and died outside the city gate. Several of his henchmen were imprisoned by Liang Bo in the guard's mansion and tortured.
The other is that the imperial court found out about the situation of Beiyan and allocated grain, grass and drinking water, but was robbed by Liang Bo's army halfway. The purpose of taking this grain and grass for oneself and giving it to the people is to make the people hungry and have no strength to resist, and when the army of the quicksand country attacks the city, they will naturally be slaughtered.
There is also a saying that the imperial court's Qincha has come to Beiyan. will thoroughly investigate all kinds of illegal things in Beiyancheng, and has released rumors, and the murderer who killed his father will be killed with his own hands to prove the law of the country and avenge the family!
And these rumors are mixed with a seemingly inconspicuous rumor. Liang Boliang's deputy general's henchman Dao Yin, his nephew was captured by someone, in order to rescue his nephew. At this time, Dao Yin had already betrayed Liang Bo and defected to the enemy.
This rumor. Although it was not as widely spread as the previous ones, it made the knife frightened, and hurriedly prepared a generous gift and went to the Shoujiang's Mansion. A strong expression of loyalty.
And it was then. The second letter arrived. On the letterhead, it was generously written that he wanted to kill Liang Bo immediately, and he was not afraid to show Liang Bo at all. Because this letter was sent to the Shoujiang's Mansion, Liang Bo's bookcase.
Liang Bo's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he looked at Dao Yin with some defense. The knife smiled bitterly, but his face was firm and not half entangled, and he snatched the letter, tore it to pieces, and scattered it all over the ground.
It's just that his face was extremely tired when he left. With a deep sadness, as if the sky had fallen, it was as helpless as it was. This made Liang Bo a little moved.
In the next few days, Dao Yin seemed to avoid suspicion, and did not appear in front of Liang Bo at all, even the work at hand was handed over to others.
If the person is not around, he will naturally not be able to fulfill the request in the letter to kill him personally, and Liang Bo has begun to gradually believe in the loyalty of the knife cause.
Therefore, Liang Bo called Dao Yin to the Shou General's Mansion and decided to test it one last time, so he entrusted him with the important task.
But before he could really start to try, a soldier came from outside, saying that more than a dozen boxes of various sizes had been placed outside the door, and a letter was pasted on the box, indicating that the knife was to be opened in person. Dao Yin's face suddenly turned black as purple ink.
The last time the box and a letter that he had opened it were filled with two of his nephew's fingers, and this time, there were dozens of boxes, large and small, and he felt his hairs stand on end just thinking about it.
Liang Bo's face also changed a few times. He glanced at Dao Yin several times, only to see that Dao Yin's face was pale and bloodless, his body was still trembling unnaturally, some fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his mouth was open as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.
Liang Bo sighed lightly, he knew that the knife was frightened because of this.
On the battlefield, a few people who went back and forth without changing their faces were still as fragile as children in the face of such a blow as the family's loss of children and grandchildren, which made people unbearable to look at directly.
Liang Bo finally ordered all the boxes to be carried in. He found that the boxes did vary in size, some were no bigger than a fist, while others were as long as tables and chairs.
Dao Yin's eyes were full of blood, even if he hadn't opened the box yet, and he didn't see what was in the box, but the heavy smell of blood emitted by the box as soon as it was lifted up seemed to help him confirm something, which made Dao Yin feel sick to his stomach for a while, and he didn't care that he was in the Liang Bo Guard's Mansion, and he vomited loudly while holding on to the chair.
Liang Bo is not to blame. He can understand the feelings of the knife cause. If someone had brought his son's body to him at this moment, he might have been as miserable as he was.
And he, even if his son dies, he can still be reborn, but Dao has not been able to give birth to a child so far, and his brother has died, so the responsibility of inheriting the family is handed over to Dao Chen, a nephew.
But now it seems that Daochen is more than lucky.
Better a finger off than always aching. Morning pain and late pain are a pain after all. Therefore, Liang Bo ignored the begging look on Daoyin's face, and decisively opened all the boxes, revealing the bloody wreckage inside.
The fist-sized box contained two eyeballs. Next to the box are a pair of ears, a nose, and then two lips. In the box the size of a stone bench below was a human head, whose eyes, ears, nose and mouth had been flattened, and he could only see a blur of flesh and blood, and he would not even be able to tell that it was a human head if it weren't for the blood-soaked and blackened hair.
There were four rectangular boxes at the bottom, which were folded into three or four arms, legs and feet, and on the palms of the hands, each finger and toe were torn off and placed neatly, and two fingers were missing from one of the hands.
The box in the middle is the largest, and when opened, the rest of the box is placed except for the hands, feet, and human heads. Even the clothes and jade pendants were neatly placed where the head should have been. Several boxes are placed together, like a cruel and beautiful painting, although bloody, it does not feel dirty, but has a very strange beauty.
This made Liang Bo feel creepy.
He has seen a lot of corpses on the battlefield, even if his hands and feet have been chopped off, and his head has moved, but there has never been a corpse that makes him feel 'beautiful'.
It was a strange feeling, even if he had been on the battlefield for a long time, he felt his hair stand upside down, as if he was in the middle of the ice and snow.
It was a dozen large and small boxes, like a dusty memory, which suddenly woke up in his mind, and he was shocked for a moment that such a picture seemed to have been seen somewhere.
The prince of the Windy Country. The Wind Lord, who committed several serial murders in Dacheng, has a strange way of disposing of corpses every time, but it makes people feel that these corpses have an almost violent beauty.
It's just that the Wind Lord's methods are obviously a lot rougher than the one in front of him.
The human body parts in the boxes in front of me have all been processed. Except for the bloody head, there was barely any blood to be seen in the rest of the part, as if it was not a human being torn apart, but a puppet. Even, the skin of the corpse was white and almost transparent, and the tendons on the hands and feet could be seen clearly, like a dry river, frozen on the white glowing arm.
Liang Bo couldn't describe the shock that this corpse gave him, but Dao Yin vomited wildly because of it. until he vomited until his stomach was sour and retched but couldn't vomit anything, he sat down in a pile of vomit with a blank gaze, staring at the bloody or beautiful corpses in the box in a daze.
The sound of 'uh-uh' came from the throat of the knife, like a man's struggle before death, and the outstretched arm scratched and waved in mid-air, but the man stepped back more and more, as if to get farther and farther away from the boxes.
Seeing that the knife almost collapsed, Liang Bo couldn't bear it in his heart, and hurriedly covered the box, blocking the 'collision' between the knife's dull gaze and the corpse in the box.
"People can't see the appearance anymore, it may not be your nephew." Liang Bo didn't feel any convincing power when he said this.
But he didn't know how to comfort him.
If this man hadn't been faithful to him, perhaps his nephew wouldn't have died.
"It's him. It's Achen. The garment was sewn for him by his own wife. I took the jade pendant from a merchant. Achen had a wound on his arm that had been left from a fight with wild dogs to save his daughter. It's him, and you can't be wrong. He really ......" Before he could finish speaking, Daoyin began to retch on the ground again.
Tears poured down.
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but in fact, they just haven't reached the sad place. (To be continued.) )
PS: I didn't know what I ate yesterday, which led to vomiting and diarrhea, and I couldn't code words at all. The chapter owed will be made up before the end of the month.
