Chapter 137: Farewell Afterward

(a)

You can finally move, and you can make sounds.

Your fingers touch the deep strangulation marks on my wrists. You say, "I'm sorry. ”

I said, "You said before that you wouldn't let people tie me up." ”

You say, "Yes." I broke my promise. ”

You say, "Don't put too much faith in anything in this world. Even I would be dishonest. ”

My tears rolled down.

I said, "It's all my fault." It's all because I've dragged you down that you're hurt like this. ”

You say, "It's not your fault. This is war. ”

(b)

Say, "Tell me about my father's last days." ”

I told you how my father was wounded, how his injuries kept getting worse, how he did not want to be told to you by his family, and how he did not call his two sons back for his death.

I tell you, my father told me to follow you henceforth and that you would arrange a proper home for me. Let me trust your decision and understand you.

You listened to your father's last words and advice, and you couldn't help the grief in your heart.

You tear up and say, "I'm trying to go back, but it's too late." did not send his father to his death, nor did he save Zhuang Zhen. I could only watch the entire Cui family set fall into the sea of fire, watching the flames engulf the ancestral tablets and the father's coffin, and so many familiar people fell in rows around them. I have no hands but I can't save them. ”

I think of the raging fire in the houseyard. Father's coffin, at this time, should have been reduced to ashes.

The thought of my father, who was so kind and so fond of me, could not rest in peace, and was swallowed up by the flames and extinguished in this way, I also felt a pang of grief in my heart.

You say, "Nineteen years." My days with my father were so short. I didn't do anything for my father except to worry and worry. I'm so unfilial!"

You said: "The eldest brother did such a thing, killed Commander Yu, affected the entire Zhuangji, and killed so many people, I must correct his mistakes, otherwise, what face will our Cui family have in the future to face the border army and the people of the Lingnan fiefdom." ”

You cover your eyes with your arm.

I don't know how to comfort you.

I think of those who used to live in the village.

My maid, the old housekeeper of the house, the servants in your yard, and Dr. Sun, what are these people doing now? Are they all dead? What a terrible iniquity the eldest brother has created!

What about the eldest brother and his aunt, after they lured the wolf into the house, where are they now, with the Begi people?

The thought of the arson and robbery of the Begi people in the courtyard of the house made me shudder. No matter what they promised Jingyun, they wouldn't keep their promise. Jing Yun and Aunt must be more than lucky, perhaps, they are no longer alive now.

I shuddered.

We silently thought about the tragic fate of the people in the whole town, and our hearts were cold and frozen, like the ice of eternity.

(c)

I said, "Tell me about your situation in Cheongcheon, too." ”

I said, "You haven't allowed me to go to your yard to see you." In Qingchuan, you never wrote to me, not a word. Why, exactly? ”

You are silent for a moment and say, "I'm sorry. I was in very poor health and in turmoil. I was afraid that I would have to end it before I had a chance to start this life. I want to be alone, to be quiet. When I am calm, I will write to you, so that my disturbance will not affect you. ”

I don't know if you're talking about what you really think. But I believe in you. No matter what you say, I want to believe you.

I said, "No." I heard Master Daoji say that you have passed the most difficult hurdle and there is no danger to your life, and he personally said that you can pack the ticket. My uncle later told me that this disease was caused by the weakness of my wife when she was pregnant with you, and she was born with medicine due to illness, although the attack was painful, but it was chronic, and it was not fatal in itself, as long as you took good rest, it would not attack. As long as you don't have seizures, it's okay. Just like you used to be in Cheongcheon, nothing gets in the way. ”

You look at me. You say, "Yes." Master and I said the same thing. ”

With tears in my eyes, I said, "But what now?" The Beji people have called, how can you take good care of yourself? ”

I said, "Are you going to war?" But you haven't healed yet, and now you're newly wounded. There are so many enemies in Zhuang Town, you only have 500 people. ”

You say, "Jean, I have to fight." ”

You say, "It's not possible for us to stay here safely." Jingyun must have told the enemy about the existence of the Xinhan Army in Qingfeng Village. Although he had never been to the barracks, did not know the location of the barracks, and did not know the details of our situation, the enemy would have thought that we had fled to join the garrison of Qingfeng Village when they watched us escape from the rain of arrows. When this heavy rain stops, and the enemy has completely succeeded in Zhuangzhen, he will definitely send people to search the mountain. We cannot sit idly by, we must act before they do. ”

You say, "If you don't stop them, they'll slaughter town after town." I'm not going to die. I will stop them, go to block the mouth of the valley on behalf of the commander, and I will never let them open the passage for the southern invasion from Cuijiaji. ”

Looking at my tears, you said, "Don't be afraid, Jean. I won't die until I get you out of danger. ”

Soon after you were freed from the danger of bleeding, Fu Tianliang and Zhang Bao rushed to the outpost and joined you.

According to your instructions to Wu Shun before the operation, Zhang Bao has received your instructions, and with great efficiency, he sent a small team of horses to inspect and search all the outposts on the nearby hills along the way, and brought back fifty soldiers of the Cuijiaji garrison from several outposts that had not encountered the enemy, and they were now the last spark left in Cuijiaji. They also fought at the outpost occupied by the enemy and the enemy troops guarding the station, and the New Han army once again wiped out the discovered Beji people with super combat power, and captured two small leaders, this time also brought in.

Facing the corpses of the Beji people, Zhang Bao suddenly had an idea, and stripped off the armor of the dead Beji people and brought them back. He thought he might be able to use it sometime.

The four generals of the New Han Army met for a while, exchanged and pieced together the information that the parties had learned, and Fu Tianliang and Zhang Bao also reported to you the victorious battle of the coordinated defense of the three armies, and reported the power of the two actual battles of the New Han Army.

After listening to Fu Tianliang and Zhang Bao's reports, you greatly appreciated and were very happy.

Watching your conversation, I feel very sad in my heart.

You're back, you're talking to me again, but the pleasure is so short-lived, you're about to go to the bloody battle of the sword and the eyesless. But I kept this worry to my heart and listened to your conversation in silence.

You asked about the captives, and you said to Zhang Bao, "I will interrogate these two people myself." ”
