Chapter 382: Farewell to Death
When he woke up again, Jiang Wei was still in the closet.
The things in the house were pushed to the ground horizontally, although there was nothing valuable, Jiang Wei was still reflexively looking for things in a pile of broken furniture that had been beaten.
This is obviously the Qiang people have come, these Hu people don't know what is a sustainable development strategy at all, and every place they go to is the first to plunder and rebel; Jiang Wei didn't know why the Qiang people didn't open the wardrobe, or if they saw a child after opening it, and they felt compassion for him and didn't embarrass him.
He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but when he opened the door, the sun was already shining, and it was already noon. The originally lively and noisy market was dead silent at this time, Jiang Wei swallowed his saliva and walked out of the door cautiously.
The scorching sun shone in the sky, but it was cold in the city of Ji County. Jiang Wei shuddered involuntarily, looking at the corpses all over the city and was speechless in shock; He didn't dare to scream, in case there was any Qiang person on his side at this moment, he was only afraid of death and no place to be buried!
"Mother...... Father! ”
The mouth that was covered still made a sound involuntarily, he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, Ji County became like this, with the strong character of his parents, he was afraid that he would not survive. They must have led the army and civilians to put up a desperate resistance last night, but it's a pity......
Jiang Wei forcibly put away his tears, it's too early to judge, what if his parents are just besieged? After all, the Qiang people are Huaxia people, no more brutal than Xianbei, how could they kill a high-ranking official casually?
He suddenly remembered that his uncle was the county guard, and as a county guard, he would definitely not be killed casually, and he might know his parents. With this mentality in mind, Jiang Wei simply cleaned up, closed the half-broken door, and staggered towards the county guard's mansion.
A yin wind swept through the entire Ji County, and Jiang Wei felt shuddered wherever he went; On the road, there are people who collect the bodies of their relatives, and those who have no relatives still have good neighbors to help. There was not a single soldier in the entire city, whether it was a Han or a Qiang soldier.
What was the war yesterday, Jiang Wei naturally knew the answer, otherwise how could his family be so chaotic? But the Qiang soldiers are not the character of grabbing and leaving, they understand the importance of farming far more than the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and the attack on Ji County will not be for looting, but to completely occupy Tianshui.
The county guard mansion was in the north of Ji County, and Jiang Wei had to cross several streets to reach it. Jiang Wei had never felt that the road was so long, and every step he took was either bloody or stiff, which put him under tremendous pressure in his heart.
Turning a street, Jiang Wei was frightened, this street was full of Qiang people, wearing the unique strength of the Qiang people, all of them were in high spirits, looking at Jiang Wei's eyes full of contempt; This made Jiang Wei doubly pressured, hesitated, and did not dare to take a step forward.
"Boy, what are you doing here?"
saw a soldier who looked like a Qiang man walking straight out, his physique was extremely huge, and one arm was thick enough for Jiang Wei's entire body; He spoke awkward Chinese, but Rang Wei didn't dare to laugh, took a deep breath, and didn't dare to speak.
"Hmph, it turned out to be a fool!"
The man snorted coldly, and then stopped caring about him, Jiang Wei changed his mind and hurriedly stopped the man, the man looked at him coldly, Jiang Wei mustered up the courage and said: "I have something important to ask to see the county guard......
"There is no county guard here, only I, the king of Xiqiang!" The man shouted with a face full of anger, "And boy, I am Marshal Yueji of Xiqiang, you just see that I don't give a big gift, it's so rude!" ”
Jiang Wei hurriedly apologized, and the heart Dao Ji County had indeed been lost, and the king of Xiqiang, Cheriji, had already settled in Tianshui; From this point of view, his uncle Jiang Xu was either killed or captured in prison.
Jiang Wei knew that these people had no intention of killing again, otherwise they wouldn't be talking nonsense with him here, so he arched his hand and said: "Marshal Yueji, don't you have something important to go to find General Jiang Xu, Fuyi, and ask the marshal to open a convenient door and let me meet him." ”
Yue Ji saw that this child was only six or seven years old, but he was dignified and elegant, and his heart was secretly shocked, and he suddenly remembered that someone in the Qiang School had said that there was a prodigy in Ji County, so he thought of this person and asked, "Can you be called Jiang Wei?" ”
Jiang Wei didn't expect this person to know his name, and hurriedly responded: "Exactly!" ”
Yue Ji nodded: "It's just right, that Jiang Xuning will not surrender, and my king wants to kill him, but he said that he has something to tell you and ask the king for a few days." My soldier couldn't look for you last night, but you came just in time! ”
Yue Ji did not shy away from telling such things as life and death to children like Jiang Wei, and there was even a provocation in his tone; Jiang Wei swallowed his saliva, he had seen enough life and death today, but it was really difficult to accept that this matter fell on his head. Jiang Xu is his uncle after all, and he is about to be killed when he talks about it, how can he not be moved?
It's just that his uncle obviously has a family, why don't he want to see his son, but himself?
Yue Ji didn't notice the change on Jiang Wei's face, snorted coldly, and asked his two Qiang soldiers to take Jiang Wei to the dungeon to meet Jiang Xu.
The damp dungeon was indelible, and before you even entered the door, there was an indelible stench, cockroaches, rats and ants everywhere, and maybe it was the prisoners' lunch tonight. Jiang Wei never thought that the prison would be like this, he had heard his father say that prisoners did not deserve to have a life, and it turned out to be true.
Jiang Wei covered his nose and followed the Qiang soldiers towards the inside of the prison, and in an extremely narrow cell, Jiang Wei saw Jiang Xu, who had become weak. At this time, Jiang Xu's hair was already gray, Jiang Wei still remembered that when he saw him a few days ago, he was still in high spirits, full of black hair, how did he become like this in just one night?
"Wei'er, is that you?"
Jiang Xu struggled to move towards the prison door, Jiang Wei was about to respond, but he didn't expect Jiang Xu to say to himself: "It's that I'm thinking too much, are you waiting for me to go to the execution ground?" ”
It turned out that Cherrigi used torture to blind Jiang Xu's eyes, and now he can't see anything; Jiang Weiqiang held back his tears, knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle, it's me, I'm Wei'er." ”
"Wei'er? Is it really Weier? Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment, as if tears were about to flow out of his eyes, but he couldn't flow out, "Wei'er, I'm already a waste, and I can't escape death, but before I die, I really want to say sorry to you......"
"Uncle is not guilty!"
Jiang Xu shook his head with a wry smile, trying to touch Jiang Wei's face, but he didn't touch it; Jiang Wei couldn't hold back his tears, and took Jiang Xu's hand and leaned against his face.
"Wei'er, you're crying...... Hehe, the manly husband doesn't flick if he has tears! If your father had known about it, he would have punished you. ”
Hearing Jiang Xu say this, Jiang Wei couldn't help it at all, and fell to the ground and cried; It turned out that his previous fantasy was just an extravagant hope, his father really died in battle, and his mother did not return overnight, but I am afraid that it will also be ......
Jiang Xu's face was solemn, and he said: "Wei'er, Uncle didn't listen to your father's words, so he was defeated today, and now it's too late to think about it!" Now I beg them to let my family and you live...... Liangzhou will soon be in flames, you must escape from here and find a place to take refuge! ”
Jiang Xu couldn't suppress his throat when he said this, after all, there were Qiang people around him who couldn't understand Chinese.
"Before my mother parted, she asked me to join General Kamui Heaven......"
Jiang Xu nodded: "Your family and Ma Chao are old friends, so naturally you should go; I got the news a few days ago that Liu Bei was defeated by Xun Gang's army in Xiangyang, and the scout concluded that the Xiangyang defender must be Ma Chao! I haven't told your father about it, but I didn't expect it to be ...... Hey, if you flee this time, go to Xiangyang! ”
Jiang Wei shook his head: "Xiangyang and Liangzhou are thousands of miles apart, how can my nephew get there when he is only six years old?" Wei'er is willing to stay as an uncle and keep filial piety for her parents! ”
"Silly boy, Liangzhou can't accommodate you anymore......" Jiang Xu shook his head, although he had no eyes, but from the temperature of his palm, Jiang Wei could feel his gentleness, "You are the one who wants to do great things, now the eldest prince of Cao is lazy, I heard Cheriji say yesterday, the soldiers and horses of Zhuqiang will arrive soon, and the loss of Liangzhou is only a matter of time, if you die in the chaos, how can I be worthy of your parents?" ”
"I ......"
Jiang Xu waved his hand: "Don't say it, Yang Fu led the army to break through last night, and now he is stationed outside the south gate, you go to find him and let him lead you to Xiangyang!" ”
