Zhong Qinghan was like a king of all beasts patrolling his territory, and under the sweeping gaze, everyone bowed their heads, not daring to raise their heads and shoot at her.

In the wing room on the second floor, Xu Bohan, who has the title of Jingjie Tiger, also withdrew his gaze, not daring to stare at the stunning woman with a weak appearance, as if it was not an empty valley orchid, but a poppy, beautiful but palpitating.

Sikong Lun's pupils shrank, looking at the woman who made everyone dare not look at her, and looked at her closely, as if he wanted to engrave her in his heart with his eyes, "Is she the woman my mother wants me to come to Xining this time to ask for marriage?" ”

This pressure is really not ordinary!

Only Su Ziheng, unmoved by the tense atmosphere in front of him, pulled Song Jianming's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Brother Song, what kind of woman is this Zhong Qinghan, and why is everyone so afraid of her?" ”

It's like a mouse seeing a cat, no different from seeing a flood beast.

Song Jianming quietly wiped his sweat, stretched out his hand to cover Su Ziheng's mouth, his tone was anxious, and he said in a low voice: "Virtuous brother, be cautious!" ”

Song Jianming was frightened by Su Ziheng, Zhong Qinghan was a famous female devil in Xining City, and her name could make children stop crying. Even the murderous Heifeng Village boss of Jiufu Mountain didn't dare to mention the name of the middle witch easily, how could you, a little talent, dare to discuss her in front of her.

Su Ziheng pulled his hand away and asked curiously, "Brother Song, I think she is just a weak woman, why should she be afraid of being like this?" ”

Song Jianming was afraid that he would ask more and more words, and if it really attracted Zhong Qinghan's attention, it would be on fire. Hurriedly whispered to him: "Hmph! But you are the ignorant and fearless. Don't look at Zhong Qinghan's weak body, her reputation as a witch was not obtained for nothing, and she has hundreds of thousands of lives on her hands. ”

"What!" Su Ziheng was really taken aback at this time, and he couldn't see that the woman in front of him was actually a murderous female devil.

But on second thought, it's not right! Looking at Zhong Qinghan's appearance, she should not be more than twenty years old, and she needs the support of a maid to walk, I'm afraid she can't even lift a knife, how can she kill so many people?

Besides, if she is really a murderous female demon, how can she escape the punishment of the law, and she can still have a good visit to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion here?

"Brother Song, don't frame me." Su Ziheng looked incredulous.

"Alas!" Song Jianming sighed in a low voice, "Brother Xian, listen to me and you in detail." This Zhong Qinghan is the daughter of the Zhong family in Xining, who once studied in the Jixia School Palace, and what she learned was the best of the hundreds of soldiers. ”

"Three years ago, the Mengyuan Empire united with the countries of the Western Regions, combined 100,000 troops, and invaded my Xining City. At that time, the Zhongjia Army, the main force of the Xining garrison, followed the Northern Expedition of the head of the family, leaving less than 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Liangzhou. ”

"In the face of the menacing Mengxi coalition army, it only took a few days to be counted. Seeing that he was about to hit Xining, Zhong Qinghan, who was only twenty-eight years old at the time, happened to go home from the school palace to save his relatives. resolutely took over the important task of leading troops to resist the Mengxi coalition army. ”

"Under the command of Zhong Qinghan, relying only on 20,000 soldiers, the 100,000 Mengxi coalition army was blocked outside the Jiufu Mountain in Xining City. And designed to use 4,000 Zhongjia troops as bait to bring 60,000 Mengxi coalition troops into a desperate valley in Jiufu Mountain. ”

"Under a fire, 64,000 sergeants from both sides were burned to death in the valley of Jiufu Mountain."

Su Ziheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, he finally knew where the name of Zhong Qinghan Witch came from. 64,000 soldiers were burned to death in World War I, such a woman is not called a witch, so what kind of person is considered a "demon"?

"Later, did the invading Mengxi coalition army retreat?" Su Ziheng asked in a low voice.

Song Jianming nodded, "Of course you have withdrawn, otherwise how would you see the prosperous scene of Xining now." ”

"If that's the case, then why ......"

As soon as Su Ziheng opened his mouth and was about to defend himself, he heard Song Jianming interrupt him, "Brother Xian, you must want to ask, since Zhong Qinghan helped Xining City retreat from the military disaster, why do everyone still call her a witch, right?" ”

Su Ziheng nodded, "That's right, in this way, wouldn't it be revenge?" ”

Song Jianming exhaled heavily, and a look of painful struggle flashed in his eyes, "That's right!" What you said makes a lot of sense, we should all be grateful to her, but why is this happening? ”

"Because you're afraid of her!" Su Ziheng replied sharply.

Song Jianming was stunned when he heard this, his face turned pale, and he laughed miserably: "Hehe, killing 60,000 enemy troops in one battle, such a brilliant record is not unprecedentedly in the history of the Zhong family's army. Why are the ancestors who led the army sought after and loved by everyone, but Zhong Qinghan alone was regarded as a witch? ”

Su Ziheng didn't speak, and glanced at him with pity. I saw that his hands were clenched into fists, his bones were white, and his nails were deeply pierced into his palms, oozing traces of blood.

"Because of her fire, she also buried our four thousand good sons in Xining at the same time!" Song Jianming roared hoarsely in his throat.

"Where are the immortals in war?" Su Ziheng looked straight at him, "I know what you think in your heart, you think that those four thousand sergeants are very innocent and have been deceived by their own commander." But have you thought about it, if you can't even hide your own people, how can you hide the 100,000 Mengxi coalition troops? ”

"This ......"

"If there is no fire, Brother Song, tell the junior brother, can the 20,000 Zhong family army stop the 100,000 Mengxi coalition army?" Su Ziheng continued to ask.

Song Jianming was silent for a while, thinking of the moment three years ago when people were panicked and almost desperate, he slowly shook his head and said, "Can't!" ”

"If there is a siege battle between the two armies, how many sergeants do you think the defenders of Xining will die?"

"If the city is broken, do you think the Mengxi coalition army will slaughter the city?"

"Even if the city is not slaughtered, how many innocent people will die?"

Su Ziheng didn't care about Song Jianming's cold sweat at all, and the voice of questioning was even more sentenced.

"Even you know in your own heart that once the city is broken, the number of dead will definitely be more than four thousand. If you can exchange 4,000 soldiers for the safety of the people of a city, why do you still regard her as a witch in your heart? ”

"Since you have decided to join the army, you must be prepared to sacrifice for the country. As long as the sacrifice is worthwhile, it is not a vain death. Did Zhong Qinghan let them sacrifice in vain? Although she didn't tell them what happened, she also asked 60,000 Mengxi coalition troops to bury them. ”

"Zhong Qinghan, she has defended Xining City!"

Su Ziheng said word by word, and his voice was like a flood of bells, knocking on the hearts of everyone in Nuan Xiang Pavilion.

He didn't want to judge Zhong Qinghan's methods and temperament too much, he only made a simple analysis from the results. Perhaps her methods were indeed cruel, but she did ensure that the city of Xining was taken down to protect the people from the scourge of war.

For that alone, she shouldn't be seen as a femme fatale by those she saved!

That's so unfair to her.
