Liu Jingxuan suddenly mentioned such a topic, not to mention that Liu Fangyuan and Zhen Rong were a little surprised, Yue Qianqiu was also puzzled. But who is he? I have probably read more miscellaneous books than all the great Confucian scholars in this year, and in just a moment, I have already sketched out countless sad and bloody paragraphs in my mind, and I am mentally prepared for a while.

Sure enough, before meeting, the faces of the three young men of the same age were different, and Liu Jingxuan said lightly: "Ah Yuan's brother is seven years older than him, and five years older than Ah Yuan's sister. It was my eldest son, who was born not long after my mother and Ah Yuan got married. At that time, I went to the border by myself, and my son naturally followed his mother. ”

"I and Jinglan's little brother Cheng Kang was thirteen at that time, and I and Jinglan passed on the art on behalf of the teacher, after Xuandaotang was removed from Wupinlu, he had nowhere to go, so he came to my house, and he has always helped his sister-in-law take care of the children. Therefore, when Jinglan and I returned from the battlefield four years later, the child didn't recognize us at all, and only chased after the little junior brother's ass and called Godfather. ”

As if talking about that period of youth and frivolity, Liu Jingxuan's angular face actually softened a lot, and even the flat tone when he spoke unconsciously seemed gentle, as if when recalling the past, his heart, which had been sharpened on the battlefield and officialdom, became soft unconsciously.

"Jinglan and I got married at about the same time, but there are no children yet, like me, he doesn't know how to take care of children, he just thinks that a finger will make the child cry, so he looks at Cheng Kang with envy and jealousy can coax the crying child into laughter, watching him take the child to the house and climb the tree, in short, it seems that it is not my son, but the son of the little junior brother. But we have always regarded our little brother as a son, and we are naturally happy to see it. ”

"Ah Yuan's mother had just conceived his sister at that time, and she also wanted someone to be trustworthy to take her son with, and she, along with Jinglan's wife, often indulged in the little brother and laughed at us two fathers who couldn't take children. As a result, when I returned to my hometown, I certainly returned with the credit of repelling the enemy army from Beiyan, but it was not until I left that I easily heard a father. ”

"But I didn't expect that that parting would be the last meeting between me and the child, and also with the little junior brother."

Liu Jingxuan's eyes were still very calm just now, but at this moment, they were murderous: "The Gao brothers are embarrassed, planting spies around me and Jinglan, and selling our truth to Beiyan. But people were still worried that we might turn the tables on the Jedi, so they simply coaxed me and Jinglan's wife to take our children to visit relatives at the border! As a result, half of the soldiers and horses crossed the border, and the two sides met. ”

"At that time, Cheng Kang broke off alone in order to cover the escape of his daughter and children, but my eldest son, who was only eight years old, had been learning martial arts with him, and he was reluctant to let him go, so he secretly went back to help him. Two people, one big and one young, who were like father and son, struggled to drag the brigade of soldiers and horses, and died in battle. When Jinglan and I were captured and finally saw their bodies, the two men were covered in scars and had smiles on their faces. Oh, a little big child, maybe he doesn't know what life and death are, and he dies like this! ”

Liu Fangyuan had never thought that his eldest brother had died of illness and died young, but when he heard his father mention the old things, his words clearly revealed a sadness that was difficult to hide, he only felt empathy, and his eyes were red unconsciously.

And Yue Qianqiu was able to understand Liu Jingxuan's attribution of the death of his eldest son and junior brother to Da Wu, but he still couldn't help but say: "The death of Ling Lang and Uncle Chengkang is really distressing, but General Liu doesn't want to think about it, is this all the sin caused by the crossing of the Northern Yan soldiers and horses?" ”

"Of course I thought so."

The expression on Liu Jingxuan's face was already as cold as an eternal iceberg, and the words he said were like the yin wind of July 15, with a chill.

"At that time, Jinglan and I ran out of food, and the soldiers and horses of Beiyan persuaded me to surrender, so I discussed with Jinglan to stop, and decided to surrender to make a last stand, to see if we could fight one or two high-ranking officials of Beiyan. Unexpectedly, the two of us were escorted to the Emperor of Beiyan, who was personally recruited, and I didn't expect that he knew the names of the two of us and let people escort out our families. ”

"At that time, I only thought that Beiyan was despicable and shameless, and Qiu Hunting Division was infamous, and I almost forgot the so-called plan, and only thought that I would rather be broken than broken! But there are some things that I couldn't think of at the time. ”

Speaking of which, the three teenagers present had already vaguely guessed the inside story behind it. Sure enough, the next moment, Liu Jingxuan laughed, and the laughter was full of hatred.

"Cheng Kang and the others did not encounter the soldiers and horses of Beiyan, but the bandits colluded by the Gao family. And Jinglan's wife and I bumped into the real Yan Jun headlong. Moreover, it is a Yan army led by Emperor Beiyan himself! Because the Yan army was disguised as Wu Jun, and the women didn't know how to tell the difference, they naturally rushed up for help, and the result was ...... Emperor Beiyan really went to save it! ”

Yue Qianqiu, who had seen and even spent some time with Emperor Beiyan, could clearly judge that this was indeed the elusive character of Emperor Beiyan. But Liu Fangyuan still shouted out with the last trace of luck: "Dad, haven't you thought about it, this may just be the words of Emperor Beiyan!" ”

"You're right, it's possible. It's just that the soldiers and horses that killed my eldest son and junior brother were about to collapse in front of the forbidden army led by Emperor Beiyan himself, and more than one person was captured. Emperor Beiyan directly handed over everyone to me and Jinglan, and the two of us personally interrogated them, and killed eight people in a row. ”

Hearing Liu Jingxuan's calm but murderous words, even Zhen Rong couldn't help but secretly gasp. When he was left in Beiyan and went to Beijing, he also had grievances, but now that he thinks about it, if Xiao Changheng was indeed Da Wu's inner line, his situation would have been guaranteed. In contrast, Liu Jingxuan, Dai Jinglan and their families encountered more than danger at the beginning......

It was a desperate situation! It's no wonder that Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan used the thunderous method of killing eight people in a row when they were interrogating!

"Although most of those bandits are small minions, I don't know who the boss is, let alone what their plans are, I only know that I and Jinglan's wife and children are going to drive a group of people like me and Jinglan's wife and children to the territory of Beiyan, so that the family can catch them."

It's just that the big boss who collects the money still has some brains, although he doesn't know who the instructor is, but he still has a channel. Moreover, he found out that it was the family of the border general, and he saw that the two countries were fighting at that time, so he planned to use this as a step to advance and capture them to take refuge in Beiyan to get an official, so in a fit of anger, he attacked Cheng Kang and his father who blocked his future. ”

"Therefore, even if there is a revenge for killing my son and brother, I still ignored Jinglan's opposition and left this person's life. Because the Northern Yan Emperor preserved our family, Jinglan was unwilling to commit treason, and only planned to follow Xu Shu's example into Cao's camp, and would not fight with the south for the rest of her life, but she was willing to take on counterinsurgency or other tasks, just to repay her kindness. But I was moved by the sincerity of the Northern Yan Emperor, promised to be loyal to him, and used the poison he took out to control the big boss, and drove him to investigate the old things. ”

"It's okay to say that I'm unscrupulous, or to say that I'm going to repay it, but if it's not for that, how can the things that the Gao brothers have done be exposed to the world? Some people don't just plan to force me and Jinglan to Beiyan and let the Xuandaotang be spurned, but they plan to let Beiyan use our family to dominate us as rebels to attack our homeland. In this way, the entire Xuandao Hall can be slaughtered. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jingxuan's right hand was held weakly, obviously there was no long knife in his hand, but he brought out a fierce momentum.

"Indiscriminately killing innocents, framing Zhongliang, and persecuting martial arts...... Those traitorous villains who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality are all sitting in high positions in the imperial court, and in the end, the truth is revealed, and when they are disposed of, none of them are taken to the court to be punished, and they can still save their lives! Oh, scholars and doctors can't be killed, do we deserve to die if we wait for a warrior? ”

His hateful voice exploded in the ears of the three of them like thunder, and even spread outside the courtyard gate. And the warriors who have heard all of Liu Jingxuan's words from beginning to end, even if they have been on the battlefield for a long time and have made great achievements, they can't help but feel a little in a trance, and their unwavering belief has been unconsciously shaken.

These are the elites under the command of the great general Zhu Xiaobei, as martial artists, they are the easiest to resonate with Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan, even if they vaguely guessed that Liu Jingxuan's behavior of leading the army to attack and not returning was a little suspicious, but now listening to his past encounters, he still can't help but feel a little resentful.

Especially when they think that they are fighting to the death in front, those scholars and doctors in the rear not only sing songs every night, get drunk and drunk, and even point fingers and frame the generals in front, they have an indescribable indignation impulse.

Chen Wuliang, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, just saw Liu Jingxuan make a move against Yue Qianqiu, and resisted the urge to help several times, and sure enough, when Zhen Rong helped, he saw Liu Fangyuan's father fighting to the death, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel that Yue Qianqiu's friend luck was really strong, and he could make such a confidant who took care of each other.

But now that he heard Liu Jingxuan tell about the old things, and then looked at the soldiers around him who were originally used to prevent Liu Jingxuan, they were all moved by Liu Jingxuan's words, and he couldn't just care about Yue Qianqiu, and he couldn't help but secretly cry out in his heart.

Why didn't the emperor want to eradicate all those black sheep? The consequences of removing or even exiling an official are very different from the execution of an official. The rebound caused by the former is still manageable, but the latter will touch an entire class. Otherwise, according to the emperor's unbearable temperament in the previous years, wouldn't it be refreshing to raid his house and kill people, and kill a person's head?

Not to mention the old lady's temper. If it hadn't been for the fact that the old lady had sent someone to secretly provoke after the truth was revealed, such as Wu Renyuan and the Gao brothers, maybe they would still be raised by their protégés and live a good life!

Just when Chen Wuliang was secretly anxious, he only heard Yue Qianqiu's voice from inside: "The death of Brother Liu and Uncle Chengkang is indeed the fault of the traitorous minister, and I will not say that all the faults in this world must be blamed on the traitorous ministers, and as a king, there is no fault at all, and there is no responsibility at all." However, the emperor did not knowingly ignore it, let alone deliberately connived at it, he was indeed kept in the dark at the beginning, and then when he dealt with Wu Renyuan and the Gao family brothers, he also did not correct people because of concerns. ”

"You said it lightly, if you are the Son of Heaven and you can't eradicate the traitors, what will you do with the people of the world?"

"The traitor naturally wants to be killed, but how he should be executed is not up to the emperor alone. In the case of insufficient supporters, even if there is sufficient human and material evidence, it may still be counterattacked. Even if you have accumulated enough strength, you still have to consider the backlash of those officials, is it possible that you want the emperor to learn from the Northern Yan Emperor? ”

"Corruption is not honest, killing; oppress the people, kill; Deceive the superior and the subordinate, kill; Plot against the delinquent and kill ...... And in addition to those whose crimes are conclusive, those who are implicated in those lawbreakers are killed, and those who are not used to seeing are also killed, and the blood is flowing like a river, and the heavens and the earth are discolored! ”

"The harsh punishment law may have a temporary effect, but it can be suppressed after the rebound, don't you see it now? Yes, without a madman like Xiao Qingqing, a person like Xiao Jingxian who is unpredictable and angry, Beiyan would not be like this...... But if there were no more than ten years of killing before the Northern Yan Emperor, there would have been so many rebels who went forward one after another? ”

"The emperor did not execute the Gao brothers Ming Zheng, or Wu Renyuan, but they still died, and died of infamy not long after being dismissed and exiled! There is still a long way to go to reverse the tradition of the noble and the lowly, and if you have to do it all in one battle, it will only push more people into the ranks of opponents. Not to mention ......"

Yue Qianqiu took a step forward and once again stood only a few steps away from Liu Jingxuan.

"What's more, if you ask yourself, if the things you did in the First Battle of Bazhou are spread, how will the people of the world look at those warriors who are loyal to their family and country and desperately defend their family and country? The young heroes who led the palace to sacrifice their lives this time, who is not your eldest son, as innocent as Uncle Chengkang? ”

"The soldiers and civilians who died in Bazhou, everyone was once a fresh life!"

"Each of the six princes under your command who followed you to attack and almost stabbed the six princes of Northern Yan was once a warrior who trusted you and swore to follow you to the death, where did your betrayal put them?"

"Liu Fangyuan is in the Wuying Pavilion, practicing martial arts diligently, studying hard, everyone likes him and respects him, have you ever thought that what you do will make him miserable and hesitant?"

"Have you ever thought about whether the family members who were quietly removed from Bazhou City by you are willing to leave their homeland again and go to Beiyan to follow the Emperor of Beiyan who you think is the lord of Ming?"

"If you really follow that monarch all along, don't come back!"

Yue Qianqiu's voice was higher and higher, and in the end, it had turned into a thunderous roar. After the three words "don't come back", he completely vented his breath, and couldn't help but take a big deep breath, and an indescribable feeling of weakness welled up in his body.

Seeing that Liu Jingxuan's face changed slightly, but he still seemed to be so persistent, he retreated with a wry smile, put a hand on Liu Fangyuan's shoulder, and said weakly: "Ah Yuan, I'm sorry, what I said is not good......

Liu Fangyuan noticed that Yue Qianqiu's strength seemed to be pressed on his shoulder, and he was already unconsciously bursting into tears, he hurriedly stretched out a hand to support Yue Qianqiu, and seeing that Zhen Rong on the side also helped, he shook his head vigorously and said, "No, senior brother, you have finished everything I want to say...... Thank you, thank you so much! ”

It is the greatest blessing of my life to know you!

Liu Jingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "No wonder when I came to the Daimyo's Mansion before, Jinglan didn't even see me. He must be blaming me, right? He worked so hard to help me defend Bazhou, and even killed the Northern Yan Emperor in the end, but in the end, he still couldn't recover some fait accompli......"

Almost as soon as his words fell, Dai Zhanning's voice suddenly came from outside: "Uncle Liu, there is only one thing that Dad blames you, since you have such a thought in your heart, why don't you make it clear to him and discuss it with him!" If you had told him earlier, two people had a discussion, even if they quarreled or used their fists against each other, it would be better than the current situation! ”
