At night, it was drizzling.

Shu is on all sides of the highlands, the cold current that blows water into ice can not be blown in, the climate is warm all year round, and a heavy snow before is already a rare wonder for more than ten years; After the New Year's Festival, the Shu people are the first to feel the warm breath of spring.

Late at night, the official village outside the southern gate of Shudu was shrouded in a continuous drizzle.

Outside the Guanzhuang are two sentry towers where the Shu army monitors the Chu envoys, several Shu soldiers are guarding the sentry tower and looking at the several dead wind lamps hanging high in the Guanzhuang, only to see two teams of soldiers wearing robes, inspecting the camp under the rain, everything is as usual, and there is no change because Han Qian stayed overnight in the Guanzhuang.

Now that the two countries have officially formed an alliance, the envoy will escort the lord of Qingyang back to Chu to complete the marriage in a few days, and the Shu soldiers who are responsible for guarding the camp of the Chu envoy also feel bored, but they don't know that in the house, more than 700 Chu soldiers are all wearing armor, and they dare not have a trace of slackness.

Several fast horses trampled on the slightly waterlogged gallop road, shattered the silent night, woke up the Shu soldiers on the sentry tower outside the Guanzhuang, and also alarmed the Chu soldiers who were secretly paid in the Guanzhuang Yuanmen.

"Deputy Envoy Guo Rongguo is here, may I ask if Lord Han is in the camp?"

Guo Rong reined in his horse, and a small eunuch behind him shouted in a shrill voice into the closed gate.

"My family is in the camp, and the night is dark at this time, what is Lord Guo's send?" Xi Fa'er borrowed a wooden ladder, and the person poked his head out from above the gate, clenched the saber at his waist, tried his best to hold down the anger at hand, and dealt with Guo Rong, a few dead eunuchs who were in collusion with Anning Palace and were in cahoots.

"Lord Han hasn't returned for two days, but what happened? Lord Guo couldn't rest assured, so he came over to greet him. Xiao Eun replied to Xi Fa'er with a sharp voice.

"It's nothing, my family is just thinking about leaving Shu soon, thinking about scattering outside the city. My family has already fallen asleep, please go back with confidence. Xi Fa'er suppressed the urge to kill in her heart and said.

"I'm Guo Rong, Xi Fa'er, you open the gate and let me in to see Han Qian." Where is Guo Rong so easy to be sent away by Xi Fa'er in a few words, he drove his horse to the front of the gate, asked the people inside to take a lamp to shine his face clearly, and insisted that Xi Fa'er open the gate and let him enter the camp to see Han Qian.

After making Shu for so many days, Han Qian would go out of the city from time to time, but in order to avoid the suspicion of the Shu people, he always came and went that day, and would never stay overnight outside the city, and this time out of the city, Han Qian did not return for two consecutive nights, nor did he show up, he just sent someone back to the city to report to him and the officials of the Honglu Temple of Shu State, how could he believe that Han Qian was just staying outside the city to relax?

"Lord Guo, you know that my family has a bad temper, and he won't want to see someone disturb him after he sleeps, and I ask Lord Guo not to embarrass us." Xi Fa'er refused.

Guo Rong's face was uncertain and staring at the few faces exposed above the closed door, and by the light of the light, he could see that these people around Han Qian had unkind faces, and even some people pointed their wound crossbow arrows at him, as if they were trying their best to restrain themselves from shooting the crossbow arrows.

Han Qian was assassinated or had some sudden illness?

Guo Rong didn't think that the assassins of Anning Palace would sneak to Shu to assassinate Han Qian, but if this was not the case, why did Han Qian's subordinates look at him so unkindly?

Could it be that Empress Xu had already launched a palace mutiny in Jinling, and even detained Han Daoxun, who went to Beijing to serve as Jing Zhaoyin, for the first time, and at this moment, Han Qian had already gotten the news through the intelligence network under his command for the first time?

This is the only possibility that Guo Rong can think of, although he doesn't want to be close to the truth, he never thought that Han Daoxun had been tortured by a car split and died in Jinling......

…………

In the mansion surrounded by other buildings in the official village, there are even more soldiers and horses, and the atmosphere is gloomy, and the front and back yards of the corridor are guarded by guards, preventing all idle people from approaching.

Xi Ying walked into the courtyard, watching the lights and shadows flow through the doors and windows, and from time to time there was a dull sound of tables and chairs being split, she pushed open the door, and saw Han Qian holding a stainless steel straight spine knife with countless gaps in his hand, standing in front of a long case that had been split.

In just two days, Han Qian's eye sockets were deeply sunken, and he stood in the middle of the room like a mad dog, his eyes were red, and he wanted to split, slash, and tear everything in front of him to pieces.

Xi Ying walked over and wanted to snatch the knife from Han Qian's hand, but the knife was like an iron cast, and Han Qian held it in his hand without moving, she persuaded bitterly:

"If you embarrass yourself like this again, I'm afraid that before you return to Chudi, your body will not be able to bear it first, how can you avenge the revenge of the boss?"

"I hate this heaven and this earth in my heart, why did I treat my father so unjustly? I hate myself for being so incompetent, and let the old man die tragically on the fiftieth birthday, and I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart! ”

Han Qian roared frantically, and reached out to stab the knife fiercely.

Seeing that the straight ridge actually pierced directly into the wall, Xi Ying was also secretly shocked in his heart, thinking how fierce the hatred in Han Qian's heart was, so that he could stab this knife so hard and fast, and only then did he pierce into the rammed earth wall without breaking before entering the wall?

"The old man was ordered to see Wen Duqiao, and he had long known that he was going to die for a lifetime, and he also held the will to die and fight for a glimmer of life for the people. This revenge will be avenged, but the boss will never want to see you abuse yourself so badly! Xi Ying persuaded distressedly, seeing that Han Qian's temples had grown a little gray hair in just two days.

Seeing Han Qian standing in front of the window, without saying a word, Xi Ying motioned to the guards to move out the tables and chairs that were cut to pieces in the house, and then walked behind Han Qian, saw the handwriting on the windowsill, saw the candles and tears accumulated on the windowsill, and didn't know how long Han Qian had been staring at the handwriting in the past two days and two nights, and hugged him tightly with his body in distress.

This is a letter written by Han Daoxun to Han Qian in the back hall of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion before he was edicted to see Wen Duqiao.

It's just that Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng trekked hard all the way, and although they carefully wrapped the letter in an oilcloth, they didn't know when they were infiltrated by the river when they endured the severe cold and crossed the river, making the handwriting on the letter confused, and they couldn't make out a few words.

This was the last letter that Han Daoxun left to Han Qian before his death, but it was like this, so that Han Qian didn't know what kind of mood his father was in when he was edicted in the end.

Xi Ying could understand Han Qian's mood of trying to recognize more words.

Zhao Wuji and they are also extremely guilty, but it is also irreparable; It's just that others won't blame them, after all, he and He Liufeng have suffered too much along the way, so they rushed to spread the news to their ears in advance before the Shu people knew about it.

"I had a dream five years ago, I dreamed that my father was lonely by nature, and he asked for the life of the people all his life, and one day he angered the Manchu magnates and angered the Emperor of God, and before he was killed by the staff of Emperor Tianyou, I was also affected by it, and the car was torn apart in the city - this dream is so real that in the past five years, I have been trying to escape the fate of the car split, but I have calculated in every way, but I never thought that the fate of the five horses would fall on my father's head! Do you know that I wake up from nightmares from time to time these days, do you know what kind of nightmare I have? In the past few days, I have dreamed that my father was tortured by a car crack in Beijing! ”

Han Qian grabbed the windowsill with the green tendons on the back of his hand, eager to scratch the window lattice with knife marks open, and couldn't help tears flowing down his cheeks,

"My father served as a magistrate in Chuzhou, and there has not been a single case of unjust imprisonment for several years. When my father went out to know Gaoyou, when the military disaster was washed, and there was a catastrophe, ten households and nine hunger, the streets, alleys, rivers and ports were all hungry people waiting to be fed, Chuzhou Gang grain from Gaoyou transit, my father asked the Gang official to stop the ship to unload grain to help the hungry. The crowd stopped him, saying that it was a capital crime, and my father said that he would die alone and 100,000 people would live, but it would be okay! The grain officer did not obey, and my father took a knife and went on the boat to tie him up and eliminate the civil chaos. The imperial court transferred my father to Beijing to fill the Hongwen Pavilion, but as soon as he was an idle official, the king of Xin was secretly retained in the position of the assassin of Chuzhou, but my father refused, saying that the king was strong and strong, not the blessing of the court. In order to save tens of thousands of hungry people in Jinling, my father disregarded half of his life and urged the hungry people to drive away the hungry people. And this time, my father also guessed the crisis in Jinling and resolutely went to work, just for the slightest possibility of eliminating the scourge of war. It's just that this world is like a prison, he failed to break the south wall, his heart was already extremely miserable, and he was finally tortured by five horses, how do you tell me not to hate! ”

Xi Ying was gloomy, she had been by Han Qian's side in the past few years, and she only saw the light of Han Qian's frequent tricks, and she felt that the boss was somewhat bleak in Xuzhou, but she didn't think about it carefully, what Han Qian did was so dangerous, so in terms of luring tens of thousands of displaced people into Xuzhou, a slight mistake would breed uncontrollable civil unrest.

Han Qian closed his eyes, let the tears fall in his eye sockets, and said: "I regret it in my heart, if I didn't hide it when I was in Xuzhou, I would have told my father about this death as soon as possible, and I wouldn't have made him die so miserably!" ”

At this time, Zhou Shi walked in, and when he saw the scattered houses and Han Qian's ghost-like appearance, he couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and walked towards the courtyard again.

"What's wrong?" Xi Ying asked.

"Deputy envoy Guo Rong rushed out of the city to see the adults, and guarded outside the gate for a while, Xi Fa and Kong Xirong blocked him from entering, I came to ask the adults if they knew...... Zhou Chu said aranly.

Zhou was captured and surrendered during the capture of Wuling City, and only then did he join Han Qian's side.

Han Daoxun's death, although he also felt wronged, did not have the grief and indignation of Yang Qin and Xi Fa'er, and at this time he was even more worried that Guo Rong would be barbarized outside the camp gate, which might make the Shu people see through something.

He went to see Yang Qin just now, and saw that Yang Qin was also ruthless in wanting to arrest Guo Rong into the camp and kill him, so he was startled and hurriedly ran here to see the situation.

"Ah," Xi Ying was slightly startled, knowing that it was right to come over and inform him from all over the place, and said bitterly, "None of them are worry-free, you go and let Guo Rong in!" ”

As soon as Zhou Chu walked out, Xi Ying saw a trace of hideous look on Han Qian's face, thinking that Kong Xirong and they were full of grief and resentment, and most of them would not be able to hear Zhou Chu's words, so he shouted to him: "I'll go over with you......"
