Chapter 38: Night Talk, Love for the Past

"Do you want to find it yourself?"

Yi was stunned.

"That's right. Aren't you looking for someone very important? Now that you're free, you can find it yourself. ”

Yi was silent for a long time, staring at Zong Xiu with a pair of starry eyes, looking at Zong Xiu's hair, he subconsciously touched his face: "Miss Yi, do I have flowers on my face?" ”

"Hey, is Zong Gongzi going to drive the slaves away?" Yi sighed.

Zong Xiu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't you dare to say that, this is going to let Brother Cheng hear it, and don't slap me yet." ”

Zong Xiu is not stupid, he guessed the identity of Yi Touqing.

Although Cheng Yanjin, Li Shiji, and Wei Zheng did not mention the name of that person at the wine table, Zong Xiu could guess no matter how stupid he was if he opened his mouth about the fifth brother and closed his mouth about the fifth brother.

In addition to the chief scoop of the green forests in the seven provinces at the end of the Sui Dynasty, who else could it be, who else could it be.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the relationship between those heroes and heroes was very complicated. Today I will bow to you, tomorrow I will bow to him, today we are brothers, tomorrow we will be enemies. Dozens of sworn processions, in different order. But among the forty-six friends of Wagang, Shan Xiongxin is indeed ranked fifth.

If you want Zong Xiu to describe the heroes of the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty in one sentence, that is, your circle is really chaotic.

Obediently, when I thought of the 'Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties' that I heard from the book when I was a child, Zong Xiu felt big.

Although it is said that one is 'Sui and Tang', half is Qin Qiong. But there are more heroes and heroes involved, and the circle is even more chaotic to the point that it can't be done.

Let's take Shan Xiongxin of Yibo Yuntian as an example, he himself is the famous chief of the green forests of the seven provinces, he treats people and things so boldly that he can't do it, and he is even more considerate and responsive to the brothers in the rivers and lakes.

But the result?

Such a righteous and thin man in the rivers and lakes, he has sworn brothers on the 100th and 10th, and he didn't even have a plea when he was beheaded.

But there is one thing that Zong Xiu is not right: Shan Xiongxin was killed all over the house, and none of his wife and children ran away, where did Yi Yi fall in love from?

Zong Xiu looked Yi up and down, thought for a while, and said, "Miss Yi, don't blame me for talking too much, I ......"

Yi Chengqing seemed to see through Zong Xiu's thoughts, and smiled miserably: "Does Zong Gongzi want to hear the story?" ”

"Uh-huh, you say."

Zong Xiu nodded hurriedly, but shouted in his heart: "Obediently, this girl is amazing, and she really has a pair of discerning eyes that can see through a man's mind.

Yi walked to the side of the bed, pulled off the hairpin on his head and picked the burning candle wick to make the fire brighter, and stood silently at the head of the bed, slowly telling the past that had been dusty for many years in a deep voice.

"I was born to a concubine my father married after defecting to Wang Shichong. When his father was beheaded, he was only three years old, and he didn't remember much about his father. Later, I heard Yan's mother say something about her father. ”

"In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Weicheng [Zhai Rang] died in Wagang and gathered people to revolt. The father was also angry because his uncle was killed by the Li family in Taiyuan, and went to Wagang with Yinggong, intending to take revenge with the power of Wagang. ”

However, Wagang Village has changed hands several times, and in the end, even His Majesty has entered Wagang and received most of the hearts of Wagang soldiers. My father wanted to take revenge several times, but was stopped by many brothers, and seeing that there was no hope of revenge, my father switched to Wang Shichong. ”

"In the third year of Wude, His Majesty and Wang Shichong were at war, the two sides were fighting together, my father saw His Majesty who was fighting alone, remembered the family feud, and he took a spear to kill His Majesty, and His Majesty who chased him fled in panic, and was stopped by Yinggong halfway. Facing the former brothers, my father couldn't do anything and had no choice but to retreat. ”

"Later, when His Majesty was reconnoitring the enemy, he ran into his father again and almost died. Just at the last moment, Wei Chigong blocked his father and injured him. ”

Thirteen years have passed, and Yi Chengqing has grown from a babbling child to a slim girl.

Xu was because he was young at that time, and when he talked about that past, he had no hatred except sadness.

With loss and helplessness in her eyes, Yi Qingxing said abruptly: "That's how hatred ends." The uncle died because of the Li family. And His Majesty has only been hunted down twice in half of his life, both by his father. almost lost his life twice, this is an indissolvable resentment. ”

"In the fourth year of Wude, Wang Shichong was defeated by His Majesty and surrendered to Kaesong. His Majesty ordered that all the generals who followed his father be executed. ”

"I heard Yan's mother say that Yinggong had a long talk all night before his father was beheaded, saying that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve, and cut off a piece of his own meat for his father to eat, saying that he had not forgotten his original oath."

"Haha...... Amusing. Yi sneered.

Yan's mother said that on the day my father was beheaded, the old generals of Wagang came to see him off. But my father only drank Lu Gong's wine. Because what Lu Gong said was, 'You are a real hero, you can drink this bowl of wine if you want, and I won't force you if you don't want to drink it.'" I hope you can still be a hero in the next life, and kill all of us ruthless and unrighteous villains!'. My father listened to Lu Gong's words, made three bowls in a row, and then calmly died. ”

"And I'......" Yi sighed faintly: "The three-year-old child is ignorant of the world, and that day he saw his father tied to the torture table, surrounded by a group of uncles, just as if they were playing tricks. Who wants to ......"

The latter words, Yi Chengqing did not continue. Because of the tears, the eyes moistened.

A three-year-old child, watching his father, mother, brother, and sister killed, the terrifying memories of his childhood have become unforgettable nightmares. Countless midnight dreams, Yi Touqing woke up in the nightmare of blood and rain.

She may have looked down on hatred, but she couldn't forget that terrible memory!

Zong Xiu sighed faintly: "The dynasty changes, the years go by, the miserable fallen leaves are floating in the wind, and there is a sigh in the emptiness, this may be the sorrow of a hero in troubled times." ”

Yi touched the corners of his eyes, and there was a far-fetched smile on his delicate jade face: "It's inevitable to be sentimental when I recall the past, and I'm out of shape, so I ask Gongzi Zong to forgive me." ”

Zong Xiu sighed: "It's okay, it's a lot of mouths." Miss Yi, now that you are free, what are your plans? ”

After Zong Xiu finished asking, he asked again: "Miss Yi, do you still have hatred in your heart?" ”

This sentence has been held in Zong Xiu's stomach for a long time, if Yi still has hatred for Lao Li and those old people in Wagangzhai in his heart, one day he kills one or two on impulse, and the matter will be a big deal. After all, it was he who begged Lao Li to be free, and he must have been involved.

"Hate?"

Yi Dump's pretty face was slightly raised, and there was confusion in his apricot eyes.

"It's been thirteen years, and there's nothing to talk about. Even if you kill them all, what will you change? Time will not turn back, the dead will not come back to life, and even if there is hatred, it has long since faded with time and returned to dullness. What I want most now is to find that person. ”
