Chapter 16: Despair and Hatred
After Li Fei Shouyu found that the smoke rose from the White Wolf Village, he arrived at the White Wolf Village within two hours, and in such a short time, the defeated soldiers of the Tang Army who escaped by luck may have just sent back the news of the defeat, and Li Fei Shouyu, who arrived in the White Wolf Village, did not see a corpse of the Tang Army, which can only show that the corpse of the Tang Army was disposed of by the Fan Army.
When did the Fan army become so kind and actually collect the corpse of the Tang army, which made Li Fei Shouyu feel very surprised, with his understanding of the Fan army, this situation would not usually happen.
"Owner, I'm back."
"Erniu, what's the situation?"
"The owner of the village, about half a month ago, An Lushan sent Sun Xiaozhe and Tian Qianzhen two henchmen generals, each with a thousand elite soldiers to the Northern Expedition of the Xi Nationality, yesterday evening, Sun Xiaozhe and Tian Qianzhen returned to the Pinglu Army camp with more than 20 defeated soldiers, and the Tang Army returned from the Northern Expedition."
Li Fei Shouyu nodded: "It seems that the last battle between the Tang Army and the Fan Army took place in White Wolf Village, and the two armies fought, which really hurt the innocent people of White Wolf Village." ”
"The owner of the village, the Fan army has repeatedly been on the side, but An Lushan, the dog thief, deliberately killed my general, he really deserves to die." Zhang Erniu looked extremely angry.
"An Lushan is a dog, he is not right, and sooner or later he will die." Li Fei Shouyu scolded, looked at Zhang Erniu, and comforted: "Erniu, Li An just came back from Jicheng with his two brothers, and he is fine. ”
"Really? Owner, that's great. Hearing that Li An was unscathed, Zhang Erniu ran excitedly towards Li An's ancestral home.
"Erniu, come back, they have already rested, don't disturb them, let the brothers keep watch inside and outside the village."
"Yes, Lord."
Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Li An, Kunxiong and Feiyu began to prepare, this time it was dangerous to go north to rescue their relatives, for this, they had to be fully prepared.
Swords, daggers, and stiff bows were all newly bought, and a hundred arrows were prepared for each person, as well as dry rations, horse feed, and water.
This time, Ang Lee has made up his mind to do his best to save his relatives, of course, the premise is to find his relatives first.
"Yes, this time there is a lot of danger in going north, you must be extremely careful, and you must not act recklessly." Li Fei Shouyu opened his mouth to admonish.
"I'll be careful, Shouyu, and continue to help me investigate what happened in the White Wolf Village?"
"Okay, I will."
Li An looked at the ancestral house gloomily, with mixed feelings in his heart, for a long time, and said loudly: "Kunxiong, Feiyu, let's go." ”
"The owner of the village, the owner of the village, the brothers have caught one person in the village."
Just as Li An and the others were about to leave, Zhang Erniu ran over panting.
"Hurry up, bring it."
Soon, a shivering young man was brought over.
"Big brother, it's Zhao Ergou."
"Zhao Ergou." Li An was surprised, Zhao Ergou was still alive, so he must know what happened in the village?
"Zhao Ergou, tell me quickly, what happened in the village? Why you're the only one. ”
Li An stepped forward and asked eagerly.
"Li Dalang." Zhao Ergou was stunned for a moment, and then sobbed, crying extremely sadly.
Cry your sister! Seeing Zhao Ergou crying, Li An'an was in a hurry, and he wanted to beat him.
"Don't cry, tell me, what's going on in the village? Say it. Li An grabbed Zhao Ergou's collar and roared.
"Woo...... Brother Da Lang, the officers and soldiers rushed into the village, killed people when they saw them, killed people when they saw them, woo woo ......"
Li An and Li Fei Shouyu glanced at each other, both showing shocked expressions, Kunxiong and Feiyu were even more dazed, they didn't understand how the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could slaughter the people of White Wolf Village.
"How could the officers and soldiers slaughter the people, Zhao Ergou, what did you see, tell me clearly." Li Anxin held back his anger.
"Brother Da Lang, I saw with my own eyes a large group of officers and soldiers rushing into the village, I Aya went to meet him, and was cut off by a general with a scar on his face, and then, these officers and soldiers killed people everywhere, and they really killed people when they saw them! Woo woo ......"
"Then why are you still alive?"
"A-Niang asked me to hide in the cellar and blocked the entrance from the outside, and I kept hiding inside, and I came out hungry."
From Zhao Ergou's sluggish eyes, it can be seen that he has indeed been in the cellar for a long time, and he is not lying.
At this moment, Ang Lee's mood can be described as extremely bad, the only remaining flame of hope in his heart is becoming more and more dim, and desperate thoughts are spreading in his heart.
"Fan Army, what about Fan Army?"
"Fan Jun? What Fan Army? ”
"Zhao Ergou, what did you hear when you hid in the cellar? Do you hear the sound of fighting outside? ”
Zhao Ergou tried his best to control his emotions, for a long time, nodded and said: "The sound of fighting, there is indeed the sound of fighting, in addition to the screams are the sound of fighting, and the sound of A-Niang crying before she died, telling me not to go out." ”
When Li Fei Shouyu and Li An heard this, they immediately sketched out the tragic scenes in their minds, and they could almost deduce the disaster that happened in White Wolf Village.
A group of officers and soldiers rushed into the White Wolf Village, and the village Zheng Zhao Yongchang went to greet them, and the villagers were not vigilant at all, however, the officers and soldiers suddenly opened a killing ring, which caught the villagers of the White Wolf Village off guard, and the corpses were scattered all over the place, and then, the Fan army suddenly killed, defeated the officers and soldiers, and plundered all the property of the White Wolf Village.
But there is also a fatal question about why these officers and soldiers killed the people of White Wolf Village, what reason did they have for doing so, and what role did the Fan army play, and why did the corpses of the villagers and officers and soldiers disappear, and who collected the bodies for them.
These questions plagued everyone, making them unable to figure out the joints.
"The leading officers and soldiers, are there two generals?" Li Fei Shouyu suddenly spoke.
"That's right, it's two, one with a scarface, and the other is also burly, they are so ruthless that they killed the whole village......"
Li Fei Shouyu and Zhang Erniu glanced at each other, and immediately understood the identity of this group of officers and soldiers, while Li An let go of Zhao Ergou and sat on the ground weakly.
He was still full of hope, but at the moment he was completely desperate, a large group of well-trained officers and soldiers rushed into the village, slaughtering the unarmed civilians, and what was the probability that his relatives would escape this catastrophe, obviously, there was extremely little hope.
"Young sprouts, the eldest brother failed to protect you well, and the eldest brother is useless."
At this moment, Li An thought of the puddle of blood outside the gate of the ancestral house, and a miserable picture kept flashing in his mind.
The young sprouts stood outside the gate, waiting for their return, but the officers and soldiers suddenly rushed over, and the knives fell in their hands to kill them, and the young sprouts were still looking at the direction of their return at the moment of falling, and every time they thought about it, Li An's heart stabbed violently once, until the pain was numb, and the pain was unconscious.
"It's okay, you have to be strong, things must turn around."
A miserable smile appeared on the corner of Li An's mouth: "I just want to know now, who broke into the village to kill people, I want to avenge the death of my relatives and kill this group of bitches." ”
Despair and hatred have eaten away at Ang Lee's sanity, leaving Ang Lee's heart with nothing left but revenge.
Li Fei Shouyu and Zhang Erniu glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, although they already knew the identity of this group of officers and soldiers, but they did not dare to tell Li An, after all, the other party is very big, if Li An goes to seek revenge, it is very likely that he will be in a different place, and Li An's state at the moment, as long as he knows who the enemy is, he will definitely go to take revenge.
Li An slowed down for a moment, took out a handful of gold from his arms, stuffed it into Zhao Ergou's hand, and said softly: "Zhao Chengye, the White Wolf Village can't stay anymore, you go to Jicheng immediately and join your eldest brother!" Come on. ”
"Brother Da Lang ......"
"Let's go! Ink what. ”
"Brother Xie Dalang."
Zhao Ergou was really grateful at the moment, he put away the gold, walked away slowly, and after taking a few steps, he glanced back, sometimes looking at Li An, sometimes looking at the ruins of White Wolf Village.
Looking at Zhao Ergou, who was alone and didn't walk very neatly, Li An's head flashed with a faint sense of remorse, Zhao Ergou was not a heinous person, and he was really too heavy at the beginning.
"Big brother, what should we do next?"
"The generals with scars on their faces should not be difficult to investigate, they must find out this group of beasts, I will personally interrogate them, and ask them what is the reason for killing the people of White Wolf Village."
Li Fei Shouyu and Zhang Erniu glanced at each other, and their hearts were slightly shocked, they knew that the matter would not be hidden for long, and with Li An's means, Sun Xiaozhe could be found out within a few days.
And Zhang Erniu has always been angry about An Lushan's killing of Li Wu and other 300 soldiers, and he has long wanted to take revenge, so he secretly made up his mind to go all out to help Li An.
Subsequently, Li Feiyu went to the direction of the Pinglu military camp to investigate the situation, while Li An and Li Kunxiong returned to their ancestral home to make short spears, which were extremely lethal throwing weapons, which were often practiced by Li An and the three of them.
While making the short spear, Ang Lee kept deducing in his head, putting forward various hypotheses to straighten out the ins and outs of the disaster that happened to the White Wolf Village.
But no matter how Li An deduces and assumes, there are always many places that he can't figure out, and he can't figure out who the simple people of White Wolf Village have offended and why they have been wiped out.
"The owner of the village, his subordinates feel that Li An will soon find out Sun Xiaozhe, and it is not a way to hide it all the time, we must try our best to help him."
Zhang Erniu was very worried about Li An, afraid that Li An would hit the stone with an egg and lose his life in vain.
Lifei Shouyu nodded and said softly: "Erniu, don't worry, Ang Li is my friend, and his relatives are my relatives, and I, Lifei Shouyu, will never stand idly by." ”
As Ang Lee's friend, Li Fei Shouyu naturally would not sit idly by, and besides, he also wanted to know why the officers and soldiers slaughtered the people of White Wolf Village, and what ulterior secrets they had in doing so.
