There was only a group of women standing on the Huabiao altar, but the leader of the guards of Zhi Yanchong felt a huge pressure, and even later he felt that it was difficult to move forward every time he took a step, and the distance that he could usually reach at once became so long, so long.

At this moment, there are thousands of pairs of people's eyes around the Huabiao altar looking at him, and behind these small people who have appeared, there are many big people who have not shown up to pay attention to the development of the situation. When he came to the Huabiao Altar, cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead, but after all, he was a well-trained soldier who had repeatedly experienced the battlefield, and he could still maintain the momentum of a soldier under such circumstances, and raised his hand and said loudly: "By the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor, the Huabiao Altar will disperse immediately, and no more noisy stays." The women who caused the accident remember that they are the founding fathers of our Han Dynasty, and they are old and ignorant, and they are not guilty! After the decree is given, if the perpetrator does not repent and disperses, the guards can take it down on the spot and hand it over to the judge! ”

This will come out, some people present have a cold heart, some people have a cold heart, some people have a cold heart, some people have a wide heart, some people have a tight heart, the entire Huabiao altar has calmed down at this moment, such a big place and so many people, it is really strange to be quiet in the daytime.

Some of the women who had been supporters also thought to themselves, "It seems that this is the end of the matter." The person sent by Chen Xian thought: "If these women are willing to come down this step, this turmoil may pass, and then everyone will be fine." The person sent by Han Fang thought: "Your Majesty is a lenient saint after all, and he is willing to forgive them after being scolded so badly by these women." If they don't know what to do, they will be looking for their own death! ”

At this time, the number of people gathered in Huabiaotan Square was tens of thousands, and many people silently dispersed after hearing the will, but most of them were still staring at Sister-in-law Gu to see how she responded.

As if she didn't understand Zhi Yanchong's edict, Sister-in-law Gu picked up the laundry hammer and pointed at the captain of the guard and said, "Xiaohua, where is the general?" Why didn't he come? ”

The captain of this guard is named Zhou Hua, one of the boys who came out of the valley of death, but Zhou Hua's name was changed for him when he grew up, he was called Xiaohua when he was a child, it was the name of a family dog, the dog died when he was born, his father thought it was the reincarnation of the family dog, so he called him Xiaohua, this name was called when he was a child, and when he grew into a big man, it would be a joke to call this name, so Zhe Yanchong changed his name to Zhou Hua for him, but Gu's sister-in-law still called him Xiaohua when she saw him grow up. It's nothing on other occasions, but how can Zhou Hua not be embarrassed in this scene at the moment? Zhang Laoyu and the others couldn't help but smile when they saw him like this, and the majesty caused by the promulgation of the Holy Decree was gone.

Zhou Hua's face was ugly for a long time, coughed twice, and said, "Auntie, don't mess around anymore." Na Bu Na Concubine is the matter of His Majesty and the Empress, what are you mixed with! Now Your Majesty is gracious, I don't blame you, you can accept it when you see it, go home quickly, or we will all be difficult to do. ”

Sister-in-law Gu shouted, "What kind of grace? We don't want any mercy! We just want to ask the general face to face who is right and who is wrong in this matter! If we are really wrong, how should we punish them, and I will go to the judicial yamen to confess the guilt! The judge sentenced, even if I killed the head, I won't frown! But if he's wrong, why wouldn't he let us say it? Why don't you admit your mistake! ”

These words were so loud that Zhou Hua was greatly embarrassed, and his deputy stepped up and said to him: "Your Majesty has issued a military order, since they dare to resist the order, then take it!" ”

Zhou Hua hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Auntie, come down quickly, or I will really offend!" ”

Sister-in-law Gu couldn't make any more sense, but said, "I'm not leaving!" If the general doesn't come, I won't leave! ”

Zhou Huayi gritted his teeth and said, "Then don't blame me!" "I was about to make a move, and a few old men came out next to him, led by Zhang Laoyu, Zhou Hua shouted: "Uncle Zhang, get out of the way, don't make trouble with them!" ”

Zhang Laoyu has been fighting iron all his life, but at this time, his hand is a little old and disobedient, and he trembles and points to his saber and says, "You...... You can't go up with a knife, and you don't look at the stones! ”

The tall Huabiao on the Huabiao altar was newly made by Yang Yingqi personally looking for materials and Ouyang Shi supervising the work, but there were still eight old stones in a circle under the Xinhua watch, and Gu Sister-in-law and others stood in the circle surrounded by these eight stones. The yang side of these stones is full of words, engraved with the oath preached by Zhi Yanchong when the Han Department came out of the Great Xianbei Mountain, and the negative side is densely packed with names, engraved with the names of the Han Xinmin who survived the fashion of the Great Xianbei Mountain, and the eight stones were led by Di Yu, Zhe Yanchong, Cao Guangbi, Yang Kaiyuan, Ouyang Shi, Aluman, Xiao Tienu and Yang Yingqi, and the name "Zhou Xiaohua" is also among them!

Zhou Hua was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his deputy said: "General, the king's order cannot be resisted, and the military order cannot be violated!" "Zhou Hua is a general, so his deputy called him a general, and at this time, he was reminded by his deputy, knowing that it was imperative, he drew his knife and walked over.

With an uproar, dozens of people rushed over and blocked in front of him, all of whom were retired from the Han Department in Beijing, shouting one after another: "You can't bring a knife up!" "You can't bring a knife up there!" "I also think that these girls are messing around, but if the general wants to arrest Gu's sister-in-law, he has to wait for her to come down!"

Zhou Hua raised the knife high with his right hand, for fear of hurting them, and pushed it with his left hand, but where could dozens of people huddle together? His deputy made a gesture, and all the guards surrounded him, and Zhou Hua shouted, "You are not allowed to come up!" The guards retreated, and Zhou Hua's deputy shouted: "General, we can't go back without taking them!" ”

Zhou Hua still shouted: "It's all for me to stand up, don't move without my order!" He turned his head to Zhang Laoyu and said, "Uncles, I beg you!" Stop pushing me! ”

An old man cried out, "You beg us, and we ask of you!" Don't go up, kid! The rules of our Han Department have never been broken, they can't be broken! ”

The two sides were deadlocked, the elders struggled to block, dozens of people blocked the eight gaps in the Shanghua watch altar, and did not let Zhou Hua take a step forward, Zhou Hua's deputy general kept urging on the side, Zhou Hua was forced to his eyes were red, and he was about to lose control when he saw it, and suddenly someone shouted: "Zhou Hua, look!" Your mother is here! ”

Someone carried an old woman over on a stretcher, Zhou Hua was already an orphan after coming out of the valley of death, this old woman was not his biological mother, but the Han Department lived a collective life in the early days, most of those young children recognized an older adult as a father or brother and sister, this old woman is Zhou Hua's godmother, although not a biological mother and son, but how many years of sharing weal and sorrow have already been close to flesh and blood, Zhou Hua was surprised to see her being carried over, and shouted: "Mother! You ......" and then yelled at the few descendants who carried his mother: "What are you carrying my mother for!" Carry it back! Carry it back! ”

The old woman was also one of the few strong women who survived from the valley of death, in recent years, the old disease has attacked, and she has to lie in bed all the year round, at this time she opened her mouth on the stretcher and couldn't speak, pointed at Zhou Hua a few fingers, Zhou Hua shouted: "Mother, you are old and confused!" Don't mix it up here! Go back! I'm working for the general! ”

The old woman listened to the continuous rise and fall of her chest, her whole body trembled, and finally stopped pointing at him, and instead pointed at the Huabiao altar, Zhang Laoyu shouted: "Everyone help help, the eighth sister wants to go up!" A few old men rose up and helped to carry the old woman up with the stretcher, and Xiao Shi and the others above did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly and carefully placed them beside Gu's sister-in-law.

Zhou Hua closed his eyes, left two lines of tears, and turned back to the guards and said, "You go back to Tanggu to restore your life and tell Your Majesty...... Let's just say that I can't do it this time......"

His deputy exclaimed: "General! How does this make! ”

Zhou Hua shouted: "What I just said is a general order!" Don't you understand! ”

The guards responded, "Yes! ”

His deputy said: "Since the general has already decided, we dare not disobey, but how to explain to His Majesty after going back, has the general thought about it?" ”

Zhou Hua's lips moved, and he muttered, "Have you thought about it...... I have a way to explain! With a horizontal hand, the knife licked his throat, blood burst out, and he died in front of the Huabiao altar.

Tens of thousands of people screamed together, and the scream was followed by an uproar, followed by a deep silence, no one spoke, no one dared to move, as if time had completely stood still. I don't know how long it took for a person to come out of the crowd, that person was dressed in civilian clothes, his hat was pressed very low, he walked to Zhou Hua's corpse before taking off his hat, Zhang Laoyu and others exclaimed when they saw it: "Seven generals!" "It's Yang Yingqi.

Yang Yingqi knelt down, stretched out his hand to help Zhou Hua close his eyes, then cut his fingers on the knife that Zhou Hua had killed, walked to the Huabiao altar, painted the name "Yang Yingqi" on the stone red, and then left, without saying a word from the time he appeared to the time he disappeared.

After he left, Zhang Laoyu also came over, followed his example and cut his fingers to paint his name on the stone red, and the elders of the Han Dynasty stepped forward one by one, cut their hands, and painted dozens of bloody names red.

At this point, the guards couldn't pull out their swords even if they had swords with them, and some even couldn't help crying, Zhou Hua's deputy's originally resolute and cold face also relaxed at this time, and he gave a military salute to Zhou Hua, and was about to take away his body, and Gu Sister-in-law shouted on the stage: "Don't move him!" ”

Zhou Hua's deputy said: "Madam, General Zhou is our leader, according to military law, he died on the battlefield, we should also take his body back to restore his life, please forgive me." ”

Sister-in-law Gu said: "No! The surrounding people also shouted: "Yes! Don't touch him! "In fact, why are they not allowed to move Zhou Hua, everyone can't say a reason for a while, maybe it's just that everyone's emotions are boiling to the peak because of Zhou Hua's death, and they want to find a point to vent.

The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do, Zhou Hua's deputy frowned, untied his saber, respectfully placed it on the edge of the Huabiao altar, and then ordered his subordinates to dismiss the troops, and piled up a circle of weapons around the Huabiao altar, and then said: "Although General Zhou can't speak, he, as a soldier, should also go back to report to His Majesty." Please make it convenient for you to do so, Madame and you. ”

Everyone was speechless, watching them carry Zhou Hua's body and leave in line, the guards didn't dare to ride when they got off the horse, and still carried Zhou Hua away step by step, and some people silently followed behind, straight to the southeast gate of the capital.

After these soldiers disappeared from the Huabiao altar, Lin Yu, who was mixed in the crowd, looked up and found that the sky was already dusk, and the moon also showed her faint shadow.
