Final Chapter. 219. Martyrdom and martyrdom
Chen Ziling looked at this little girl with a red and swollen face and extremely resentful eyes, and only felt a bone-chilling chill rise from her lower abdomen......
However, it was already dark now, and although the city was full of fires, the visibility was not very high; In addition, this veteran soldier of the Northern Army was immersed in the morbid pleasure of violence and sadism, and he did not notice that Chen Ziling's face was unkind:
"Chen Shuai, this girl's family is poor, she doesn't have much food in savings, and I haven't searched enough food for tomorrow! Well, if you don't like her, please take a look at it for me; Wait until I'll go collect food for the two of us, and then come back to pick her up, okay?" ”
After finishing speaking, seeing that Chen Ziling did not say anything against it, the old man smiled innocently, untied a bundle of hemp rope with his backhand, and tied the girl's hands and feet together in three or two strokes. Then he fought with his waist and threw the girl sideways behind Chen Ziling's saddle; Before leaving, he pinched the other party's buttocks extremely rudely!
After the old man went to collect food again, Chen Ziling turned over and dismounted, slowly walked to a secluded alley, and untied the ropes tied to the girl's hands and feet......
Scold!
A crisp sound came, and the little girl who had just regained her ability to move quickly pulled out the "Son of Heaven Sword" hanging from Chen Ziling's waist!
Before Chen Ziling could react, he quickly held the hilt of the sword and pressed the tip of the sword against his jaw!
Chen Ziling felt the resentment and hatred in the other party's eyes, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, and he immediately reprimanded in a low voice:
"What is there to say, that's the real thing!"
However, this teenage girl neither begged for mercy nor scolded, but showed an infiltrating smile:
"I have nothing to say to you brutes!"
Burst!
The Son of Heaven Sword given to Chen Ziling by Zhou Changfeng instantly penetrated this girl's jaw. Through the small half of the sword body that was only exposed, it shows the strength of this woman's personality!
And the gorgeous scabbard inlaid with gold and jade is also stained with a layer of crimson rouge blood, which exudes a bewitching light against the background of night and starlight......
Chen Ziling's tears burst out of his eyes instantly, and he wanted to reach out and pull out the Son of Heaven Sword several times, but he couldn't suppress the trembling of his hands at all. And what's even more ridiculous is that when he saw such a tragedy happening, he didn't know who to resent for a while!
"Chen Shuai, you really make it easy for me to find...... You see, I just found a roast chicken...... Hey, what's going on with this little girl? ”
Just when Chen Ziling's heart was at a loss, the veteran of the Northern Army who had captured the fierce girl with his own hands had already gone and returned. At this time, he carried a blue cloth bag around his neck, and dragged two richly dressed women behind him......
Chen Ziling didn't know how to answer, so he could only bow his head and be silent; But when the man came closer, when he saw this bloody scene, his eyes rolled, and he immediately burst out laughing:
"Fuck, this little bitch is really shameless! Chen Shuai, what a hero, it is a great blessing to be able to look at her! With her two small arms, she wants to stab you with a broken sword? I don't know what to do......"
The old soldier patted his ass as he put down the two women he was dragging behind him. Then, another person made up for it in the lower abdomen, and instantly kicked them like cooked prawns, curled up on the ground, hunched over, and spat out yellow water in a big gulp.
Then, the veteran of the Northern Army stepped forward, raised his foot and stepped on the jaw of the fierce girl, wrapped his coat around the slippery and bloody hilt of the sword, and jerked his shoulders outwards with force......
There was a sound of friction, and Chen Ziling was numb in his scalp, sour teeth, and bursts of acid reflux in his stomach, and he almost vomited it on the spot! You must know that the bloody level of this scene should have been as simple as a pediatric for Chen Ziling, who had just fought a bloody battle under Hedong City for dozens of days......
"Wow! It turned out to be the Sword of the Son of Heaven! Tut-tut, look at other people's workmanship, this is called a serious thing......"
It wasn't until the old man drew the sword in his hand that he realized that it was the sword of the Son of Heaven symbolizing absolute power! So, while his mouth was full of approval, he repeatedly wiped the blood stained on the hilt of the sword with the torn coat in his hand; Then he held his hands back in front of Chen Ziling:
"Chen Shuai, you have to put away the Sword of the Son of Heaven. It's not a matter if a little girl dies, I just ransacked a big family, do you see, even the big and the small, I'll catch it all for you! And I also found some wine and meat in their back kitchen, but the little cubs of the new army have never seen much of the world, and they can protect food more than mad dogs! I got into a fight with them and got this thing...... You can make do with it......"
After finishing the small report, the man bent down and pulled the two women's hair buns and came to Chen Ziling:
"Look, is this still in your eyes? Hey, it's a big rich family that can afford to raise such a white girl......"
Chen Ziling looked at this enthusiastic veteran of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and for a while, he couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was reality or illusion! He didn't know that the elite of his men was so despicable and cruel by nature; Or is it because of his "expediency" that he has become what he is today......
Chen Ziling took a deep breath and tried his best to make a satisfied look:
"It's not bad...... Then you ......"
"Hey, leave me alone! And look at the bones of these two girls, they are as weak as willow branches, how can they withstand a rough blank like me! You have to be a reader like Chen Shuai to know ...... Ah yes, pity the jade! ”
After saying that, the "rough blank" wrapped the greasy blue cloth around his neck, put it on the neck of one of the women, clasped his hands into fists, and left this little bloody little black alley. The two women, on the other hand, looked like chaff and turned pale, looking at the little girl who had just committed suicide, and tears could not stop falling......
"Well, don't ...... Hey......"
Chen Ziling wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say to them. At last, a thousand words turned into a sigh, and he just reached out and took the blue cloth bag and tied it to the saddle; Then he led his horse, turned back to the two frightened women, and said:
"Come with me first."
The older woman's figure flickered, and she sighed and turned around; The younger woman, on the other hand, stamped her foot hard, and uttered a meaningless cry:
"Ah!!h
Boom!
Chen Ziling saw her run two steps and hit the courtyard wall next to her with her head! Then he rolled his eyes and passed out......
After all, she is a female dependant raised by a rich and noble family, and she has neither such a resolute intention to seek death, nor such a ruthless heart......
Chen Ziling frowned, bent down to pick up the girl who knocked herself unconscious, and then instructed the elderly woman:
"If you follow me, no one will come to you again."
"The slave family understands."
Chen Ziling nodded and said no more, and led them to the outside of the Yuanqu County Ya.
At this moment, the gate of the county government is already wide open, and it seems that it has already been searched by the rebels. And Chen Ziling simply led the war horse and walked up to the lobby; But as soon as I turned the shadow wall in front of the door, I saw a plaque of "Justice and Integrity" hanging in the middle of the lobby; And under the plaque, there are five figures hanging straight and straight!
It looks like a sausage or salted fish!
These five "hanged ghosts" are divided into two large and three small. The adults are a man and a woman, and the man is dressed in the civil official costume of Beiyan Qipin, and he should be the county lord here.
Chen Ziling walked to the corpse and saw a piece of white paper left on the desk, on which were written four vigorous and powerful characters:
Repay the king's favor with death.
Chen Ziling sneered, and then turned this "confession" into a ball and threw it aside; Then he untied the sword of the Son of Heaven from his waist and threw it to the older woman:
"Take my sword, go find a few clever people, let them come and collect these corpses, and we will live in the back office today."
The woman took the golden sheathed sword, glanced at Chen Ziling with complicated eyes, and then resolutely left the county government and walked into the troubled world outside......
This golden sword protected her from the chaos several times; He even successfully transferred a few young and strong soldiers with quick hands and feet, and threw the family of five from Yuanqucheng County, who "served the country by hanging", to the wilderness and wilderness outside the city......
In Chen Ziling's view, the reason why this person hanged himself was just because of the cowardice in his bones, his own mediocrity and incompetence, and he was forced to die; said that it was a great day, but it was just a martyrdom of his Qingliu Festival, and it was not at all a matter of loyalty and martyrdom, and it was not worthy of anyone's respect.
Because since the Qin army knocked on the pass and until the Yuanqu City was broken, there were no casualties on both sides at all. Because this small walled city has not shown any intention of resisting foreign enemies at all! Chen Ziling didn't know if such an act of non-resistance could be regarded as a kind of self-aware wisdom; However, the Yuanqucheng County Order, showing "benevolence" in such a way, in addition to fulfilling his own name, did not have any effect.
Chen Ziling, who occupied the magpie's nest, hastily used the dry food and half a roast chicken in the blue cloth bag, and handed over the fainting woman and all the remaining grain and chicken to the old woman. Then he returned to his bedroom, and fell asleep under the fighting and shouting in the city.
Out of sight, out of mind.
When the heavens made friends, the girl who failed to commit suicide finally woke up from her fainting. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her own sister sitting in front of the oil lamp at the table, looking at the flickering lamp...... With such a familiar scene and such an elegant room, she thought that the disaster of Yuanqu City was just a nightmare for herself......
But if it's a nightmare, why is the sharp pain and dizziness in the skull so real?
