It was already late at night, and the city of Liaodong was quiet, and the ragged Jurchen slaves were huddled together, and gradually fell asleep in the broken tents.

The aristocratic businessmen of the Liao Kingdom in the courtyard of the wide mansion also fell asleep with the young girl in their arms.

And in the center of the city, a door plaque reads that in the mansion of the general of Liaodong, there are 10 large mansions, more than 100 side rooms, carved railings and jade masonry, pavilions and pavilions and gardens.

Gao Wen, the general of Liaodong who slept in the center of the compound, couldn't sleep for a long time, tossing and turning on the bed, rolling his fat body, and even the fine silk quilt of the south, which was as lubricated as the expensive southern maiden, could not make him sleep peacefully.

In the dream, he dreamed of the ghost of nearly 20,000 rebels betrayed by himself, and dreamed of his cousin Gao Shun who was wandering around, he was dressed in white, approaching him step by step, his eyes were resentful, and suddenly Gao Shun, who was dressed in white, grabbed his neck, he was a little out of breath, his hands fluttered back and forth, and he felt the feeling of suffocation.

Suddenly, a sharp voice broke his dream, "What are you doing?" Can you still sleep well? ”

He suddenly woke up, touched his body, and was sure that it was a dream.

He wiped the sweat from his head.

Turning his head to look at his wife beside him, his wife was in her 40s, and her graceful back was not at all interested, because there was an evil soul in this woman's heart, and every time he thought of his wife's entangled appearance with his subordinates, and when he thought of that woman's face, his heart was full of hatred.

But he was helpless, because his wife was the daughter of the prime minister today, Yeluqian, he didn't dare to offend her, he looked at his wife's appearance, and thought depressedly in his heart, how much wine did he drink back then to get on such a spicy thing as her, this damn vinegar jar, playing with a few women by herself, she pinched her waist and scolded herself regardless of face, but she was fooling around with her deputy Guan Hu, cuckolding herself, this damn woman, he really wanted to pierce her scathing mouth with a knife, Silence her shrill voice.

Yeluqian was not happy, pinched his waist and scolded: "You useless thing, you are scared like this by a few useless rebels who have already entered the coffin, it is really useless, how much do you say I have to worry about you this day." Then he turned around and went back to sleep.

Only Gawain was left alone to look at the bright moon outside the window in a daze.

He walked out of the house and sat down in the gazebo next to the courtyard, looking at the moonlight alone, with a sad face, when a bright saber rested on his neck, and a chill welled up.

The man behind him said, "Gawain, do you know who I am? Do you remember the tens of thousands of rebels you killed? It's a shame to kill you like this, it's a pity I can't shave you with a knife. ”

Gao Wen smiled and said sadly: "What is the relationship between you and Gao Shun, I didn't expect you to be alive." ”

Gao Yongchang, who was wearing a black cloak in the back, nodded and said, "Yes, you guessed correctly, I am Gao Yongchang, Gao Shun's son, and you can be regarded as understanding that you are dead, right?" You despicable traitor, do you still want to try to survive? ”

Gawain sighed and said, "Do you know what happened back then? I'm a great sin, but you know what? Your father and I have been deceived, can you listen to me tell you about the past? I've been holding back these things for too long, and when I'm done, if you think I deserve to die, kill me, and if you spare my life, I'll take revenge for deception, and I'll apologize for my sins at your father's grave. ”

Gao Yongchang sneered: "My father has already told me very clearly what happened back then, it is you, you damned traitor, because my father punished you with resentment and let the Liao army in." ”

Gao Wen smiled bitterly: "Your father and I thought we were very smart, but we were still deceived, your father only told him what he knew back then, and there were many hidden secrets that he didn't know back then." ”

Gao Yongchang thought for a while and said coldly: "Don't play any tricks, let me tell you, if reinforcements come, I will definitely let you die in front of me." ”

Gao Wen shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I have already been disheartened, and when the great revenge is avenged, I will kill myself in front of the graves of more than 20,000 righteous soldiers." ”

Then his eyes were complicated, and he told the story of the year.

The way he looked when he was young, when he wasn't as fat as he is now, he was still handsome and chic, and he was talented.

At that time, he had just followed his cousin Gao Shun to revolt, and was entrusted with a heavy task, full of spirit, wearing battle armor, commanding nearly 10,000 righteous troops, drinking wine with his brothers, eating meat, and speaking freely.

But one action completely changed his life.

That day as the second in command of the Righteous Army, he was also a powerful figure in the Righteous Army at that time, at that time Liaodong City was very lively, people from all over the country flocked to Liaodong City, supporting the Righteous Army, there are more people naturally mixed with fish and dragons, he also has a few bastards who do not learn and have no skills, in the early years, they robbed houses and houses, and had nothing to do in the villages, and when they saw that the Liaodong City Righteous Army was doing a good job, they also wanted to make contributions, so they flocked to Liaodong City, but they were more than civilians, they still have some kung fu, and they are not afraid of death, In addition, Gao Wen was also a well-known uneducated person in the village in his early years, but Gao Shun, the leader of the rebel army, looked down on these gangsters in his heart, so these gangsters naturally only looked forward to Gao Wen.

That night, he and several of his brothers went out drinking in the camp.

Originally, the military regulations were clear, and alcohol was not allowed in the barracks, but he couldn't stand the praise of those brothers, and he was a little fluttering in his heart, and stole some wine and meat from the military tent.

Gao Wen still said a little rationally: "Let's drink some wine, but don't drink too much, if it is discovered by the Gao Shun brothers, it will be terrible." ”

The brothers nodded yes too.

In this way, Gawain drank with a few fox friends and dog friends,

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the words began to chatter, and Gao Wen had already forgotten what he had said before.

A pockmarked bastard in his 30s named Zhao San squatted on the ground, the wine was a little drunk, and he didn't know whether it was bragging, or what, he picked his thumb and said leisurely: "Do you know? The daughter of the village chief in our village looks like a water spirit, I remember, what is it called, yes, it is called Cuihua, it was the height of summer, the eldest girl in the village, the little daughter-in-law was all gone, they took off their clothes and naked, and bathed by the river behind the village. ”

Hearing this, everyone laughed and showed playful eyes.

The man named Zhao San said with a lewd face: "You don't know, that graceful and graceful posture makes your blood boil just by looking at it."

Do you know where I saw her lately?

In our captive camp, that woman actually married a Liao nobleman in his 50s, what a damn thing. Just last night, I snuck into a prisoner of war camp and fought the woman for 300 rounds, not to mention the taste, it was so comfortable. ”

Everyone is a gangster who has nothing to do, naturally there are no clean words in their mouths, and they don't know if they are bragging or what, everyone tells how they have had an affair.

made Gao Wen, who had just turned 20 years old and was in his youth, a little itchy, although Gao Wen had nothing to do since he was a child, and often molested girls, but he was imprisoned in the mining camp where men gathered when he just turned 16.

Therefore, Gawain's face was red, and he drank there silently.

A deputy named Qian Hu next to him jokingly said: "Brother Gao hasn't experienced that yet, that taste is really a cool word, I'll give you an idea, now in the prisoner of war camp, there are so many beauties, and with your status like Gao Wen, don't those women want as much as they want?" ”

Gao Wen heard that there was a little itch in his heart, he had already been a little suffocated after a few years of hard life in the mining camp, and when he mentioned it today, he was naturally a little excited in his heart.

In the dead of night, he took advantage of the rest of the crowd to sneak into the prisoner of war camp, but saw a girl sitting there alone in the dark night, and by the moonlight, the girl's slender back was really beautiful.

He was a little excited all of a sudden, and hugged the girl from behind, and that night he felt really comfortable, he rode the girl as if he was riding his war horse and galloping across the field, and this feeling was more comfortable than riding a war horse and killing the guards and Liao nobles who beat him every day.

After one night, and on the morning of the second day, what was waiting for him was Gao Shun, the leader of the rebel army, who was sitting on the big chair of the Chinese army's tent and looking at him angrily, and there was a ragged woman who looked a little charming and had a rather graceful figure crying there.

Gao Wen got up lazily, saw that the woman was still crying, and was a little impatient in his heart, and scolded loudly: "Damn, what are you crying about, I fell on you, I can afford you." ”

Gao Shun really couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily: "Gao Wen, let me tell you, we are a righteous army, not a gangster army, and it is really intolerable for you to act like this." ”

Gao Wen was also a little angry and said: "Gao Shun, isn't it just a woman who is a nobleman of the Liao Kingdom, are you there?" ”

The woman suddenly stood up, pounced on Gawain, and yelled, "I'm fighting with you." ”

The soldier hurriedly grabbed the woman.

Gao Shun pointed at Gao Wen and said angrily: "Let me tell you, Gao Wen, we are a righteous army, not the kind of beasts of the Liao people, come and pull Gao Wen out, outside the camp, and whip 10 times." ”

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, as the second-in-command of the army, if he was whipped in front of the whole army, how could he gain a foothold in the army in the future? hurriedly flattered and said: "Brother Gao Shun, I know it's wrong, you just let me go, you are going to whip the whole army, can I let go of my face?" ”

Gao Shun pointed at Gao Wen and said angrily: "Damn, your face is gone, but what do you want the girl to do?" ”

"Look there, can the blood there be faked?" Following the direction of Gao Shun's finger, a little scarlet blood bloomed on the broken hem of the skirt like a blood-colored flower.

Gao Wen also felt a little guilty in his heart, sighed and said, "I don't know, general, I know it's wrong."

said randomly and confidently, however, she is from Liao, and she is also a damn Liao noble, how did they bully us, didn't you see? How many good girls have been ruined by them, and I just took some kickbacks, what's it, if you whip me for this, I won't accept it. ”

Gao Shun said word by word: "Gao Wen, let me tell you, there must be an army system in the army, we are not those damned Liao people, we can't be the same as them, so how can we call it a righteous army?" ”

Gao Shun gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, pull him out for me and whip him 10 times outside the camp gate." ”

At the sound of the order, Gawain was pulled out.

At this time, Guan Hu, who was standing beside Gao Shun, said flatteringly: "General, look at it, those Liao captives will be a problem sooner or later, and you also know that there is no shortage of young and energetic strong guys in our military camp, if something happens, how bad it is, General, as the so-called non-toxic husband, we will secretly kill those damned Liao people, and we don't know it." ”

Gao Shun said angrily: "What do you say, how can we do anything to those women and children? We have already punished those Liao nobles who made mistakes, and we will kill their wives and children, so what is the difference between us and the damned Liao tyrants? ”

Gao Shun sighed and said to Guan Hu: "Forget it, let them all go, let them go back, these women and children are innocent, and they are also suffering from the war." ”

The corners of Guan Hu's mouth showed an imperceptible smile, but he immediately pretended to be unconvinced and retorted: "General, isn't this too good for them, these damn Liao people deserve to die, let them die." ”

Gao Shun said a little unhappily: "Okay, I've already decided, let them all go, you go and do it quickly, and go back to persuade Gao Wen, my brother Gao Wen will definitely not be able to turn his head during this time, you can help him share more burdens." ”

Guan Hu nodded and said, "Don't worry, general, I will persuade Brother Gao Wen well." ”

Since that day, every time Gawain walked into the barracks, he would hear the soldiers talking, which made him angry, and he secretly cursed his damned cousin Gao Shun in his heart, and he complained that he thought he could be a leader, a better leader than Gao Shun, why should he listen to him, this damn hypocritical cousin.

And one night, his lieutenant Guan Hu handed him a letter that completely changed his life.

These days he is also thinking about the girl, that girl is a water spirit, a delicate appearance, and the man's possession has some desire to possess her, and does not want her to be touched by other men, the desire has completely carried away his mind, and the letter was written by the girl he thought about day and night.

"I don't know what to call you, I don't know what happened between us, we did have a relationship between us, I am your woman, but to tell you a misfortune, my father found out about us, he wants to marry me to the royal family, I said I want to marry you, but I know that we are impossible, but I can't control my thoughts about you, I really love you. My father finally promised me to be together, but he said that you must become a Hou Ye so that you can be worthy of the family background of the Yelu family.

My father is going to attack your territory, this time the Liao army dispatched nearly 100,000 horses, you can't resist, I'm worried about your safety, it's really hard for me to choose, one side is my father, the other side is my lover.

I really hope that you and my father will not have a war, but I know that it is impossible at this time, your city cannot be defended, I know what my father's army is like, it is the most elite army in the entire Liao country, I hope, or pray that you can stand in the same direction with my father, open the city gates, let us become a family, for our future.

Knowing that this is difficult for you, but this will give us a perfect future, you will become a marquis, have your own fiefdom, do you know the prosperity of the capital of Liao? I'm sure you will be amazed at all kinds of beautiful flowers filling the streets, magnificent houses inlaid with gold, and all kinds of delicious food crowded with people, I really want to go with you to experience all this beautiful and prosperous everything.

Father has promised me that if you open the gates of the city, you will become a marquis, we will enjoy all the glory, we will live happily in a luxurious palace inlaid with Phnom Penh, our children will become nobles all their lives, enjoy all power, dear, please think about it, for the sake of our future.

I love you forever. ”

When Gawain finished reading this letter with trembling hands, he was really excited in his heart, those beautiful, power, money, and beautiful women, isn't this what he has been pursuing all his life? He had been carried away by this, he really wanted to have this, he squinted, sat in his chair, lost in thought, he imagined the future life, he lived with that beautiful girl in a luxurious hall, hundreds of servants served them, his hands trembled a little with excitement.

But he was still a little hesitant, although he hated Gao Shun, hated him for whipping himself, hated him for ignoring brotherhood, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, this damn hypocrite. But he is also a rebel, and he does not share the sky with the Liao State.

At this time, Guan Hu beside him said: "General, when the judgment continues, there will be troubles, as the so-called times create heroes, we must seize this opportunity, the future glory and wealth are not a problem, general, 100,000 Liao country's most elite army, how can we resist?" ”

Gao Wen said hesitantly: "Then how will the Liao army treat these rebels after entering the city?" Nearly 100,000 rebels and civilians, I can't ignore them. ”

Guan Hu said with a smile: "The Liao army said, we only need to occupy Gaoshun's general's mansion first, and then we will elect you to control the righteous army, there will be no casualties, general, your behavior not only achieved yourself, but also saved nearly 100,000 righteous troops, think about it, 100,000 elite Liao army, with our untrained righteous army, what can we resist?" ”

Gawain clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, he knew that this was a choice, he clearly knew that it was a betrayal, but that kind of good life, that kind of comfort made a despised gangster, unable to help himself, he clearly knew his inner decision.
