Prologue 5 The End of the Beginning
I don't know what direction it is, the girl just helps the young man to keep running,
The Dazheng border army behind him kept chasing, shouting as they rushed:
"Surrender or kill!"
The Mao people around him were either left behind and caught, or they couldn't run and surrendered.
Gradually, only this pair of hard-working brothers and sisters remained,
Suddenly, a short knife was thrown from behind, scratching the young man's right leg, the wound was neither light nor serious, just so that people could not move, it seemed that someone specially threw it.
At the moment when the young man fell to the ground, he pushed the girl out, and there were words in his mouth.
The girl was pushed to the front by the young man, and was about to turn around and pull,
The boy gestured and whispered:
"Don't make a sound, don't move, hide behind a tree! I've put a trick on you, so that as long as you don't make a noise and don't run, you won't be noticed! You hide first, find the right time before running, you must run out! ”
The girl wanted to say something, but when she saw someone chasing after her, she subconsciously hid behind a tree.
It's just that she won't think of this parting, she will never see her brother again.
The person who came was none other than Lan Qianzhen.
Lan Qianzhen also saw the brother and sister running together just now,
After only one corner, I didn't expect my sister to be gone.
At this time, only the young man lying on the ground was still trying to crawl forward.
Lan Qianzhen picked up the short knife on the ground, stepped on the young man, pulled the person up, and asked:
"Where's your sister?"
The young man glared at Lan Qianzhen angrily and spat him in the face.
Lan Qianzhen turned his head slightly in response,
Then he turned his head and stared at the young man and said:
"Uncle, why do you want to see the outside like this? We will be a family soon, and I will definitely play the emperor to spare your life. ”
The young man didn't know if it was because of pain or anger, his face twitched, and he said to Lan Qianzhen:
"The emperor will not let me and my people go!"
At this time, a border soldier rushed over and said to Lan Qianzhen:
"General, Father-in-law Yu is here, and he wants us to capture the patriarch's family alive."
After Lan Qianzhen heard the words, he stared at the young man for a while,
After that, he carried the people back to the Maoren camp just now.
***************
Father-in-law Yu wore official robes, and rode horses with more than a dozen Taicheng guards to inspect the captured Maoren.
Lan Qianjun is counting the casualties,
In fact, no one was killed except for the Hayabusa battalion scout who was hacked to death by the young man's "witchcraft".
The Mao people were tired and hungry, and had no military organization, and most of them surrendered, except for a few unlucky ghosts who were hacked to death in a vain attempt to resist
The sergeants were bustling and preparing to divide the prisoners, only to hear a thousand households shouting:
"Don't squeeze, there are thousands of Mao people, not as many as our brothers. As a rule, only the brother who rushed to the front scored this time.
The horses and dogs of the Falcon Camp are gone, and they will pick two men and two women later, the women should be young and beautiful, and the men should have the strength to work, and bring them back to his family! Ma Si Mazi, you have stained your brother's light this time! ”
There were a bunch of sergeants next to him, and the fourth horse was kneeling next to his brother's corpse and crying, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he heard this.
The captured Mao people were also sobbing incessantly, and their relatives began to say goodbye to each other, because many of them might be sold in Tianfu Dao, and from then on they would have to be separated from each other, and it would be almost impossible to meet again, but it seemed that they would be able to eat tonight.
At this time, Lan Qianzhen walked back with the young man on his shoulder, and soldiers kept saluting him along the way.
When Lan Qianjun saw his brother coming back, he also followed, and the two walked to the fish male horse, and Lan Qianzhen threw the young man to the ground.
The two brothers clasped their fists and saluted Father-in-law.
Father-in-law Yu looked at the two brothers and laughed sharply:
"Okay, you Lan Qianzhen, you have turned this battle into a hunt."
Lan Qianjin returned:
"My father-in-law has won the prize!"
Lan Qianjun went on to say:
"In this battle, fifty-eight ranks were beheaded and six thousand three hundred and twenty-seven people were captured. Thanks to the emperor's majesty and the wisdom of the Yu father-in-law, only one soldier of our army was killed. “
Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu laughed and said:
"Old man, I have been supervising the army for 20 years, and I still don't know how to win the war? If it weren't for San Lang's thousands of miles of travel, waiting for work, and preparing enough food and grass in advance, I was afraid that half of this person would have to die. I have prepared a recital, you two brothers are waiting to be promoted and rich! “
Then Father-in-law Yu sank his face, stared at Lan Qianzhen and said:
"What about the Maoren patriarch?"
Lan Qianzhen clenched his fists and said:
"It's the one that the kid just threw on the ground."
Then the young man turned over and sat up leaning against a tree.
Father-in-law Yu glanced at the young man, then turned his face again,
Staring at Lan Qianzhen, he asked:
"What are you going to do with the captured Mao?"
Lan Qianzhen replied:
"The tradition of the Northern Army is to give the soldiers according to the level of merit."
Lan Qianjun added:
"If my father-in-law is interested, I might as well pick a few to go back."
Seeing that Father-in-law Yu was silent, Lan Qianjun said again:
"It's okay to give it all to my father-in-law!"
Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu seemed to be interested, and asked:
"Is that true?"
The Lan brothers glanced at each other and said:
"Don't dare to deceive your father-in-law!"
Grandpa Yu nodded when he heard this, and suddenly said sharply:
"Then kill them all!"
As soon as these words came out, all the people present were silent, the Lan family brothers were dumbfounded, and Lan Qianzhen thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked:
"Father-in-law, what did you just say?"
Father-in-law Yu heard Lan Qianzhen ask rhetorically and sneered a few times, and then announced in a loud voice:
"Holy Decree! Except for the patriarch of the Mao people, the whole family brought back to the palace, and all the other Mao people were killed, and not a single one was left alive! ”
When Lan Qianjun heard this, he hurriedly walked to the edge of Yu Gonggong's saddle and said:
"The emperor's decree only says let's exterminate the Mao people. Now the Mao people were captured, distributed to the soldiers, this return to the hometown has more than 3,000 miles, Tianfu Road sold a batch, Zhongzhou Mansion sold a batch, along the way to sell a part, the rest of the Hui Yanguan slavery, Mao people are gone. What's more, there are only more than 6,000 people, and there is no need to kill Father-in-law! ”
Father-in-law Yu snorted coldly and said:
"The Holy Lord has commanded me to wait until the Mao people are captured before announcing this last will. Besides, aren't you Beizhen soldiers all killing people without blinking? Why are you so benevolent today? ”
Hearing this, the soldiers of the nearby army immediately stood up and shouted:
"Although my Beizhen soldiers are blood-sucking and killing beasts, we are not evil ghosts in hell! Kill ominous! Today, if the Mao people are sitting on the fortified city, our brothers will fight in the end, and eight out of ten will die, and after the city is broken, there is no need for my father-in-law to say, we will definitely kill a river of blood. But now that the Mao people have surrendered, and they are all a group of old and weak women and children, father-in-law, I can't do it! ”
After hearing this, the other border soldiers immediately echoed,
Seeing that someone jumped out to object, Yu Gonggong angrily scolded:
"Bold! What are you? Dare to question the decree here? Want to rebel? Come on, take it! ”
As soon as the words fell, the two Taicheng guards had already rolled their saddles and dismounted, and went up to press the leading sergeant to the ground.
Seeing this, Lan Qianzhen hurriedly walked over, kicked the sergeant in the face, and scolded:
"******, you dare to talk to your father-in-law like this, do you have a part to speak here?"
As he spoke, he took the horsewhip in Taichengwei's hand and whipped it.
Lan Qianjun continued next to his father-in-law:
"Father-in-law, the killing is ominous, and I also ask my father-in-law to write to the emperor again to explain the situation, and my brothers also wrote to the emperor to explain the reason......"
After hearing this, Father-in-law Yu whipped Lan Qianjun in the face and scolded:
"Little bunny, are you going to rebel?"
Hearing this, Lan Qianzhen stopped the horsewhip in his hand, looked back at Gonggong Yu and Taichengwei, and turned his face to Maoren,
At this time, a young woman with a child in her arms broke free from the defenders.
There wasn't much clothing wrapped around her, and this struggle almost **** had to kneel at Lan Qianzhen's feet
"General, General! I beg you! If you kill me, please let this child go, he has only been born for a few days! ”
As he spoke, he stuffed the swaddling clothes into Lan Qianzhen's arms.
Lan Qianzhen couldn't figure out why he took over this child at that time,
Although the child is still young, he does not seem to be frightened by the soldiers.
On the contrary, he smiled and stretched out his little hand to Lan Qianzhen, which made people can't help but want to tease,
Suddenly a flash of lightning struck, and thunder roared,
Lan Qianzhen subconsciously took the child into his arms,
And the child's hand grasped his garment,
also peeked at this Lan Qianzhen, laughing while watching.
Looking at the child in his arms, Lan Qianzhen trembled, and couldn't help but let out a wheezing sound in his throat,
Everyone present was silent, the border soldiers and Taichengwei slowly pressed their hands on the knife, and Yugonggong also dragged his horse and slowly retreated to Taichengwei.
Lan Qianzhen's face was bloody, and he saw his mother praying at his feet,
saw the Mao captives who survived,
I saw my brother and sergeant waiting for my next order,
saw the decisive fish father-in-law,
Lan Qianzhen's wheezing sound became louder and louder, and finally turned into a heart-rending scream,
His eyes were blood-red, and he jerked up the baby in his arms and slammed it to the ground.
The mother at her feet screamed in despair,
Lan Qianzhen grabbed his mother's hair, pulled out his waist knife, and yelled:
"Come, I'll reunite your mother and son!" A knife through the heart, and then kicked the corpse away,
Lan Qianzhen still couldn't stop trembling, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth:
"Slaughter the city!"
There is no voice, neither the killer nor the killed have no voice, the killed are waiting to be killed, the killer is like a zombie,
Only in the pouring rain the waist knife waved, and the rolling head fell to the ground.
When Father-in-law Yu saw that Lan Qianzhen had carried out the order, his face softened, and he said to the Lan brothers:
"Well, he deserves to be a good general of the country. I will play Emperor Ming to give you the title of official and knight. Then he motioned to the Taicheng guard next to him to tie up the captured patriarch and put him on horseback.
When Father-in-law Yu turned his horse's head and was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked:
"What about the family of the Mao patriarch?"
The young man who was placed on the horse slowly raised his head, his face was full of remorse and despair, he looked at Lan Qianzhen,
Lan Qianzhen was still standing there trembling, and replied mechanically
"What?"
Father-in-law Yu asked again:
"What about the family of the Mao patriarch?"
Lan Qianzhen turned his head, looking at Father-in-law Yu with empty eyes, Father-in-law Yu also looked at him, and he saw that the patriarch of the Maoren people was also looking at him,
After a long time, Lan Qianzhen said:
"The patriarch of the Mao people is the only one, and he has no family."
After hearing this, the young man slowly closed his eyes and sank his head, and Father-in-law Yu stared at Lan Qianzhen for a long time, and said:
"The emperor ordered me to return to the palace as soon as I caught the Maoren patriarch, San Lang Shiro, you slowly lead the troops back! The emperor's reward has arrived in Tianfu City, so that the soldiers can have fun. ”
After that, he turned his horse's head and galloped away along the forest path with a group of Taicheng guards escorting the Maoren patriarch.
Lan Qianjun walked behind his brother, and as soon as he put his hand on Lan Qianzhen's shoulder, Lan Qianzhen jumped away.
"Brother......
Lan Qianzhen gasped for breath, pushed away his younger brother and plunged into the forest,
"I want to find a place to wash the blood," Lan Qianjin thought, "I must wash the blood!" ”
