Chapter 47: Misery in the World

When Tie Xinyuan returned to Qingxiang City, even in the cold winter, the New Year's atmosphere here still did not dissipate.

The red lanterns specially requested by Tie Xinyuan are still hung all over the city, and when night comes, under the dim red light, the flow of people shuttles through the market and bustles, and there are still singers from Qiuzi, and dancers sing and dance here all night long.

Hanging red lanterns is not the habit of the Song people, they prefer marquee lanterns and lanterns, red is the color of blood, not the favorite of the Song people, but it is the most important color in the depths of Tie Xinyuan's personal memory.

The celebrants did not know that the sergeants who had just returned to the city were close to fighting the toughest of battles.

I didn't know that in the battle to exterminate Wolf Mountain, sixteen samurai had already sacrificed their lives.

Of the sixteen samurai, only one had a family member, and the family did not even dare to cry when they learned the bad news, so they could only hide in their house with their mouth covered and wept.

It's not that Tie Xinyuan doesn't allow them to cry, but in this celebratory atmosphere, crying will make the village unlucky for a year.

Tie Xinyuan didn't know where this statement came from, but he soon learned that the people who spread this theory were Song people.

They are ready to laugh from Chinese New Year's Eve until New Year's Eve.

Tie Xinyuan walked into the wolf's den with an egg-sized blue gem in his hand, and saw a cloud dressed in sackcloth with an expressionless face again.

No one had tied a cloud to the table anymore, no one had put seven or eight chains on him, and no one had led a goat to the soles of his feet all day.

The only thing that restricted his freedom was the heavy iron door and the iron-wood fences inside the cell.

The mandrill had also been returned to him, and now, a man and a beast were hugging each other tightly, as if they were about to part with life and death.

Seeing the gem held in Tie Xinyuan's hand, a trace of pain appeared on his face, and he asked in a low voice, "Has the city fallen?" ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "Good news for you, your son is still alive." ”

A cloud that was originally lying on its body immediately puffed up its chest, laughing heartbreakingly, and even the mandrill seemed to be infected, and the tiger roared up and down.

Tie Xinyuan found a chair and sat down, looking coldly at the ecstatic cloud through the railing.

"My son didn't die so easily, he was my son, I know what he can do!"

A cloud clutched the ironwood railing in both hands, roaring at Tie Xinyuan, who was sitting quietly drinking tea.

Tie Xinyuan took a sip of tea and said, "The handover of Tsui Mo City is very peaceful, and we didn't fight. ”

Yiyun looked at Tie Xinyuan in surprise, and then continued to laugh and said, "Could it be that my son will hand over Tsumo City to you for no reason?"

That city has a large amount of food that I have stored, enough for the whole city to feed for three years, and the walls there may not be as high as the walls of your city, but it is in a precipitous place, and you cannot take the city by your strength.

You don't want to fool me with a plausible sapphire! ”

Tie Xinyuan lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "I destroyed the qanats!" ”

A cloud's eyes were about to bulge out, and he said in surprise: "What did you say?" ”

Tie Xinyuan frowned and said: "The city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the wasteland deep in the West Sea, even if I want to attack, the siege equipment can't be transported there, and there is no other way except to fill it with human lives."

Although there were many people in Qingxiang City, they could not be sent to fill the trench, and I really couldn't think of a way to break the city except for cutting off the water, so I had to destroy the qanats.

I only feel a little sorry for you in this matter. ”

A cloud sat sluggishly on the ground, how could he not know the flaws of that city that he had built with his own hands.

The average army, not to mention entering the city, even entering the West Sea is a very big burden.

For decades, it was not that no one knew that the West Sea was his lair, but that the terrain there was destined not to be a place where he could deploy a large army, so he had to continue to be at ease.

In order to keep the qanats secret, the qanats in the West Sea did not open the skylights at all, and he even executed all the slaves who participated in the excavation of the qanats in order to keep the secrets of the qanats, and strictly ordered no one to easily enter the qanats.

"Did you really destroy the qanats?"

"It's really ruined, the water flows to the Gobi, the amount of water is very large, and in a few years, a small oasis will appear there."

"How dare you destroy the qanats? The gods will not forgive you. ”

Tie Xinyuan patiently explained: "The design of that qanats is unreasonable, and every qanats should exist to create an oasis.

The qanats you built were meant to create a hell on earth, a devil's cave.

When my people entered the city, they found that the bottom of the cliff at the back of the mountain was full of dry bones, and there was no way to count how many people died there.

So, I think that if I destroy that karez, the gods will not blame me, and maybe they will bless me. ”

Yiyun hugged the mandrill and sighed: "My son went there, why did he make an agreement with you, what agreement made him forget even me, a father?" ”

"The agreement was very simple, he left me the supplies and food in the city, and gave me half of the deposit, and I let him go.

He faithfully fulfilled the content of the agreement, and I faithfully fulfilled my promise to him, he wanted to go to Bianliang City, Tokyo, and live a rich and happy life, so he took his subordinates all the way south. ”

A cloud looked up at the top of the cave and muttered, "He has wanted to go to the distant capital of the Song Kingdom since he was a child, and he said that it is the paradise on earth, not the Western Regions."

That kid has hated wind and sand since he was a child, but he didn't expect that in the end he still went to the Song Kingdom, fortunately, he is not a child who can become a hero or a hero, and it is also a good choice to go to the capital of the Song Kingdom to spend his life in a free life.

Tie Xinyuan, now that the old man has no worries, let's have a good competition from now on! “

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "You better don't compete with me, it's the right thing to save your son as soon as possible." ”

A cloud rushed up, grabbed the railing and said astringently: "You sent someone to intercept him halfway?" ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "I did this, but your son is still very good at commanding the team, and my two sneak attack teams can't find any flaws."

His team has become a mourning army, if I want to forcibly keep him, I will pay a great price, now in this sensitive period, it is a very unwise thing to deplete the army for money, therefore, I can only watch him and his subordinates all the way south into Hanhai! ”

"In that case, what other danger will my son have? The horse thieves in the Gobi will not be his enemy under any circumstances. ”

"Sell Is!"

"Sell Is? What's wrong with him? He was my old subordinate, loyal to me, and even more loving to my son, and he was not a good man, but he would not hurt Runur in any case, and he valued him more than I did. ”

Tie Xinyuan looked at the white-haired old horse thief in front of him with pity, and waited for his emotions to calm down before he said slowly: "The traveler who seduced your wife in the first place and sold your wife to a rich man in the end is the one who sold Yisi.

He had cultivated the goods of Hurunur for decades, and was now ready to sell him for another good price.

I discussed with him the possibility of buying Hurunur to me, but he did not agree, as if he had a better buyer.

Do you know who you will sell your son to? ”

"It can't be!" A cloud's body trembled violently.

After Tie Xinyuan finished speaking, he was ready to get up and leave the cell, Tie Xinyuan had tried his best to tell the truth, and this suspicious old horse thief still didn't want to believe it.

"It's urgent, once the seller is out of my sight, anything will happen, give me everything I need, otherwise, hahaha, I will see a human tragedy again!"

"What you say is true?" A cloud looked at Tie Xinyuan in despair, he hoped that Tie Xinyuan was lying to him.

"This is absolutely true, if I have a lie, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" Tie Xinyuan immediately swore without a trace of hesitation.

A cloud closed his eyes, two lines of turbid tears slowly flowed down, opened his mouth, untied a thin silk thread from his teeth, and then dragged the silk thread to the ground and vomited frantically, and after a while, a crystal seal the size of a red date appeared in a piece of vomit.

Yiyun took the seal with a trembling hand, wiped it clean with his clothes, and then held it to Tie Xinyuan with both hands and said, "With it, you can command one hundred and eleven horse thieves in the land of the Western Regions!" ”

Tie Xinyuan solemnly took the seal, found the ink and tested it, and saw a lifelike giant wolf appear on the white paper, the giant wolf was roaring in the sky, his hair was flying, and he was very expressive.

"The wolves drink blood, and the wolves roar."

Tie Xinyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean you can't use ink?" Must use blood? ”

Yiyun nodded, and then stood inside the fence with the mandrill in his arms, waiting for Tie Xinyuan to let him go.

Ga Ga found a small bowl of fresh sheep blood, Tie Xinyuan put the seal into the sheep blood, and saw that the white jade seal gradually turned into a strange appearance of red at one end and snow white at the other, it was actually sucking blood!

After a while, the whole seal turned into the color of blood donation, Tie Xinyuan took out the seal, wiped it clean, and rubbed it on the white paper, and a bloody giant wolf appeared on the paper, which was more hideous and expressive than the ink just now.

"I've given you everything, please let me go, I don't want anything, I just want to kill the seller!"

A cloud spoke earnestly, and his face was sad.

Tie Xinyuan touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "No, what I did to sell Isis is beneficial to me, and I can't let you spoil his business."

Gaga, prepare a hearty dinner for him every day from today, you can give him wine, warm clothes, prepare a thick bedding, and ask him to retire here with peace of mind, we still have a lot of things to ask him for advice at any time. ”

After Tie Xinyuan finished speaking, he covered his ears and left the cell, and the angry roar of a cloud was about to burst his ears. (To be continued.) )
