Chapter 6 Crying at Night
The soldiers all went back to their tents, they were all officers, and they told the most junior soldiers that the battle was over, and their king was asking the king of Wu to surrender. This made it difficult for these bloody soldiers to accept. It's harder than letting them die in battle. But the king they worshipped decided to do so, and the general had made it clear. They will comply.
The king and the general were certainly right.
Live and endure the shame of losing your country! Emotionally difficult to accept. But they could not and would not disobey the king's will. Unable to vent their emotions, the soldiers chose to cry bitterly.
There was a cry from Yueying, here, there, Huiji Mountain was drowned out by the cry.
Tragic and desolate!
The night shrouded the mountains and forests, Fan Li walked through every camp in the night, listening to the cries of the soldiers, and couldn't tell what it was like.
On this day, he just crossed over from the afterlife, so many such big things happened one after another, and all the complete memories left by the original owner were resurrected, and he had become a veritable Fan Li, and he had to take on the mission of recovering the country given to him by history.
Now he's working on that mission.
To revive this shattered vassal state, he didn't know how many hardships and dangers lay ahead. If something goes wrong in one of the links, his life may be over.
Although history will not be rewritten, it is entirely possible to make a certain historical figure suffer a little more.
For the sake of Yue Guo, but also for himself, he has no other choice, he must play his role well.
Fan Li sighed softly, things were going well so far, and he had successfully persuaded Gou Jian to agree to surrender.
But at the beginning of the matter, he still had to convince the king of Yue to transform from a king admired by all people to a qualified servant. For King Yue, the transformation of this role is more difficult than letting him die.
Fan Li left the barracks and walked on the streets of Huiji. The news of the defeat of King Yue's army was already known to the common people, and they did not know what kind of disaster would befall them next. If there is another battle, Wu Bing will be bloodied, and none of the people in the capital will survive.
Doors are locked and there are no lights. The street was empty, and Fan Li listened to his footsteps, and his heart was empty.
Looking up suddenly, a mansion appeared in front of him, and there was a wide plaque above the gate, with four big characters on it: "General's Mansion"
The original owner's memories told him that this was his home. How did he get to his doorstep?
His hometown was far away in the state of Chu, and that year, Wen Chong visited him. At that time, he was ambitious, learned to be rich, and was writing his own book "Fan Lizi" at home
Wenzhong's visit made him very happy, and the two talked freely for three days and three nights, and they hated to see each other late. Later, Wen Chong recommended him to Yunchang, the king of Yue, who named him a "scholar", and later promoted to a doctor, a secretary, and until a general, commanding the entire Yue army.
He has a successful career and a warm home. He has a beautiful and virtuous wife and a five-year-old son. The family is happy, rich and glorious, and enjoys endlessly.
But the two countries fought and the Yue country perished, can he still keep this home?
Sent troops to fight, he has been away from home for a few months, is the family still intact and safe?
He hadn't been married or even in a relationship before he crossed over, and now he has a wife and son. It feels weird. But the feelings of the original owner immediately took control of him, and he felt his heart beat faster.
His wife was virtuous and docile, but fierce. At this critical point, don't have an accident!
Fan Li stepped forward nervously, pushed the door, and the door opened, but there was no door. He approached the compound, which was darkly lit and blinded, without a single human voice.
He had more than 100 personal soldiers to take care of the home. What about people? What are you doing?
"What about people?" Fan Li shouted.
No one answered. Fan Li quickened his pace and looked at all the places where the pro-soldiers were on duty at night, and none of the more than 100 pro-soldiers were gone.
An ominous premonition rose in my heart, something was wrong? Didn't this Wu soldier attack yet? All of them fled for their lives?
What a failure! One by one, the general's own soldiers fled for their lives. Fan Li smiled bitterly, shook his head, and ran towards the backyard with great strides.
The backyard is also dark, and there is no human voice. His heart tightened.
"Meng Huan! Meng Huan! Fan Li called out to Madame. No one answered. The entire General's Mansion became a haunted mansion.
Fan Li only felt that his hair was big and his body was cold, so he hurriedly ran to his living room. The door to the living room was tightly closed. Push hard, but don't move.
The door of their couple's room is specially set up by Fan Li, as long as it is locked inside, the outside cannot be opened no matter what. It's a life-saving setup to deal with this turbulent world.
Apparently, the door was locked from the inside. But it doesn't matter, Fan Li will also open it outside, in a very secret place, there is a mechanism, you can open this door with one press.
Fan Li found the mechanism and was about to open the door, but stopped, and he was startled by a poignant cry.
It was a woman's cry, sad and miserable, which made people's hearts tense and their bodies numb.
Fan Li ran towards the maidservant's residence. That's right, the cry came from this room.
There was no light in the room, it was dark, and the crying came out intermittently.
"I'm Fan Li, who's in it?" Fan Li said loudly.
The crying stopped, and someone blew on the fire and lit an oil lamp.
Fan Li said again: "Who is inside?" I'm Fan Li. ”
"Master, you're back!" A girl cried "wow". As soon as the door was opened, a teenage maidservant girl could be seen walking out, kneeling in front of Fan Li, crying bitterly, and her round shoulders kept shaking.
Fan Li knows her, among more than a dozen maidservants, this girl is the most diligent, virtuous and beautiful, her name is Luo Jiang.
"Luo Jiang, stand up and speak." Fan Li stretched out her hand to pull up the girl, who was very tall, only half a head shorter than Fan Li.
"Luo Jiang, tell me, what's going on at home? What about the pro-soldiers? ”
Grabbing his sleeves and wiping away his tears, Luo Jiang said, "When the news of the defeat came, Madame called the soldiers to go up to fight." The men in the family all went to war, and even the housekeeper Uncle Zhongzi went with a knife. ”
The housekeeper Nakako is in his sixties.
Fan Li said, "What about Madame? How are the lady and the young master? ”
Luo Jiang cried again: "Madame told us to flee so that we would not be humiliated." We were reluctant to kill our master, and my wife told me not to die, and to wait for the master to come back. I didn't dare to die, I waited for you. ”
Fan Li rushed into the house, and more than a dozen girls fell in pools of blood in different positions......
Fan Li only felt that his head "boomed", and he was speechless on the spot. He was very frightened, turned his face to look at Luo Jiang, and asked tremblingly:
"Where's Madame?"
Luo Jiang said with tears in her eyes: "Madame locked herself and the young master in the house, and we can't open the door no matter how much we call it!" ”
Fan Li shouted: "Meng Huan-madam-" ran to his room......
