Chapter 2: The Cruel Truth
Ju Lingxue was the first to recognize her brother and sister-in-law! Her dearest! The small body lying next to my brother and sister-in-law is my brother and sister-in-law's three-year-old child, Ah Dou. When I came back to save my relatives last month, my tender little arms were like lotus roots, one by one. When I recalled that when I saw her off, Ah Dou still waved his arms at her ignorantly, how cute his little face was.
She fell to her knees in front of them, almost fainting from the excitement of the scene in front of her, and her hands were propped on the ground.
The people behind Ju Lingxue watched the movements around them vigilantly, and after a while, they found that the surrounding area began to slowly surround people in an organized manner, more and more, as if ants had found their prey, which was panicking.
"General! Checkmate! Things have changed, it's a trap! Lin Feng anxiously shouted at Ju Lingxue, but Ju Lingxue couldn't react for the time being, and the people lying in front of her were her relatives, dead relatives! This is something that no one can accept this cruel status quo.
Seeing this, the twelve guards of Qianjiang already had the idea of escaping with Ju Lingxue, but helplessly, their general didn't move, the situation in front of them was surprising, and what made them chill was that they really set a trap for them to jump in.
"General!" The crowd shouted again.
Ju Lingxue finally held back her grief, stood up with all her might, leaned slightly, looked up, and finally set her eyes on the high city wall, the city wall of the Song State and the Wei State in front of the Qianqiu Capital, all of them were archers on standby, and the black arrows pointed directly at her, Ju Lingxue could imagine what it looked like when the rain of arrows fell from the sky.
On the battlefield, she was used to seeing countless times, and she never imagined that one day she would be treated with swords by the people she desperately defended.
The city gate was suddenly opened, and the two heavy gates were pushed open by dozens of people, making a dull sound, with a sharp and hoarse friction sound, Ju Lingxue only felt that her ears were buzzing, and her brain was roaring.
Because Ju Lingxue didn't move, and the twelve guards of Qianjiang behind him didn't move, they all waited vigilantly for the development of the situation in front of them.
Soon, a large group of people came out in a crowd.
The leader was dressed in a golden robe and wore a golden crown on his head, and wherever he went, there were servants laying silk cloth in front of him, and the soles of his feet were not stained with the slightest mud. This person's face is like a crown of jade, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his temperament is like a spring breeze, and he is warm when he sees it. The body is thin, and the skeleton is larger. Lined with this luxurious clothes, it fits very well, and the appearance of a natural aristocratic son.
He slowly approached Ju Lingxue, and when he was about ten steps, he stopped. The original smile was gone, replaced by a face full of worry and pity, and looking at Ju Lingxue's eyes even with a little sympathy.
"Ayuki." He said.
Ju Lingxue, who was called, trembled, Cao San called her, she was still the name of the past, and she was still the person she was the person she used to be, but who would explain all this to her.
"What's going on?" Ju Lingxue asked softly, tears dripping into the dry dust and disappearing quickly, she was afraid that she would leak her broken emotions a little loudly.
Why is it the way it is?
Cao Cheyan said with a sad face: "The Ju clan rebelled and betrayed the country, and they were crusaded against by the ministers and sentenced to Zhulian to set an example. Ah Xue... ”
"Treason? Cao San, are you crazy? Do you believe that? Which of my fathers and brothers is not a loyal and good minister? What is the reason for treason? When Ju Lingxue heard his words, she almost wanted to laugh, and said incredible.
"Ah Xue, if you marry me, you will no longer be a family member." Cao San avoided Ju Lingxue's questioning, he knew, and many people also knew, even if it was a matter of reversing black and white, but now that the wood was in the boat, there was no possibility of rehabilitation. Anyone who stands in the way of his cause will die!
And the implication of what he said now was that if she married him, she would be spared a death and the fate of exposing the corpse on the city wall. Life and death are all up to Ju Lingxue's own choice.
"Cao Cheyan, you really think about me." Somehow, Ju Lingxue suddenly raised her head and showed a smile of unknown meaning, the smile was mixed with the cold ice edge, and the people who watched it were shocked.
Cao Cheyan was also a little flustered, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly regained his calm.
Cao San in Lingxue's mouth, formerly known as Cao Cheyan, is the third son of Cao Cheng, the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and is now the emperor of Wei, Emperor Wen of Wei.
Cao Cheyan loves to see Ju Lingxue's face very much, and between a smile and a smile, he is innocent and unbridled. When he was on the front line of the battlefield, he was like a god of war, killing all sides, proudly staring at him, and not letting him shave his eyebrows.
Between movement and stillness, it is indescribably graceful.
"Ah Xue, the situation is critical, so I recalled you. The court maintains stability, and under the attack of the ministers, I am also powerless. Besides, the evidence is conclusive, and I am powerless! At this moment, all of Cao Cheyan's words sounded extremely hypocritical to Ju Lingxue.
Killing my whole family and telling me was a last resort? Pretend to marry me, tell me if you really give? Cao Cheyan, Cao Cheyan, it's really good. Conclusive? Amusing! Amusing! Her Ju family can't tolerate being slandered like this!
Ju Lingxue's blood rushed straight to her head, and she couldn't wait to slaughter it immediately and then quickly, cut off his head, drink his blood, eat his flesh, and knock his bones and eat marrow!
However, there are still people behind her, as well as the twelve guards of Qianjiang who are close to her, and they can't be impulsive, they can't be impulsive! I was so dizzy that I was about to pass out.
She can't ignore their lives for her own private affairs, they are all brothers fighting on the battlefield, how can they die at the hands of their own people.
The hand couldn't help but clench into a fist, tight and loose, angry but forced to press down.
No, you have to hold back now! Endure!
The atmosphere suddenly froze, the air seemed to have condensed, and the surrounding area gradually began to feel anxious, everyone was waiting for something, as if they were avoiding something.
Long.
"In that case, let's go, let's go into the city." Ju Lingxue relaxed, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, her expression softened a little, and then got up from the ground, patted the dust on her knees, tore the corners of her mouth, and looked at Cao Cheyan in front of her without blinking.
One moment he was bitter and resentful, and the next moment he was smiling and laughing. This shift is somewhat bizarre.
The herald just now stood not far from them, watching the situation quickly change from tense to calm, he couldn't help but be horrified, he thought that Ju Lingxue would definitely die when he came back this time.
