Qin Lei's face was stunned, and he scolded secretly in his heart: How can Lao Tzu have such a two hundred and five nephews. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Uncle, he's your uncle......" Seeing that Qin Lei didn't react, Bo Xian Saiyang repeated in a muffled voice. If Ma Ai hadn't given him a stern look, I'm afraid he would have to say it a third time.

Qin Lei squinted at the old man and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who I am?" The old man shook his head and said, "The old man has been away from Beijing for more than ten years, but he doesn't recognize a noble person like the prince." As he spoke, he suddenly said: "At your age, you are a prince, and you must be today's dragon son." ”

Qin Lei nodded, admitted his identity, and said coldly: "King Gu is the fifth son of His Majesty Zhaowu today, and the king of Longwei County is also. The old man glanced at Qin Lei with emotion on his face, but he still knelt down slowly, and after two knocks, he straightened up, but it was a great salute between the royal clans.

Qin Lei didn't let him get up, and said in a clear voice: "The Lone King also has an identity, it is the great Zongzheng of the Zongzheng Mansion, naturally I have read the genealogy, and I also have some impressions of the thirty-three people of my royal Xuanzi generation, but I don't remember that there is a person named 'Ling'. ”

Hearing this, the older of the captives began to become sad, and the younger ones immediately became angry and shouted, "We are also the bloodline of the Qin clan, why did you delete us from the family tree?" ”

Qin Lei looked at these people with excited expressions, not as if they were fake, his heart moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice to the old man who was standing: "You said you are royal, which one is it?" ”

The old man stood up straight and said proudly: "Heavenly family!" Lao Yu is the cousin of the former emperor and the cousin of the current saint. As he spoke, he pointed to the prisoners kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "These are all royal relatives who were persecuted seventeen years ago!" ”

Seventeen years ago, the five brothers of Emperor Zhaowu, who was still King Xin: King Fu, King De, King Wu, King Xu, and King Ning, because the first emperor died suddenly at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, did not establish a prince, and did not leave an edict, for the golden chair, they fought and beat a great Qin to the point of almost overturning. Later, the scholars of Great Qin joined forces to quell the chaos, and the power of several princes suddenly disappeared, and they were forced to commit suicide. The elite of the Great Qin royal family was lost in this turmoil, and if it weren't for the birth of the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang, nine out of nine would have changed the dynasty. Even now, the authority of the side has not been completely withdrawn, and there are still three voices in the Great Qin Dynasty speaking at the same time.

The five princes who had already met the first emperor also left a large number of close subordinates. These people naturally have to bear the wrath of those families who have suffered heavy losses, and if it weren't for the protection of the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang, they would definitely be slaughtered. Rao is like this, the children, wives, and subordinates of the five kings were also killed cleanly, and only those close relatives of the royal family who had little to do with them escaped for their lives.

It seems that these people are the survivors of the year, Qin Lei said secretly in his heart, but he still said quietly on his face: "Since you are a clan relative, why did you end up here, you can tell me carefully." ”

When the old man heard this, he said with a sad and indignant face: "Dazong Zhengrong, seventeen years ago, the people of the Nine Great Families killed our five princes at the Fengbu Wharf, totaling more than 17,000 people, and dyed the water of the Xiaoqing River red for seven days and seven nights. In one sentence, everyone present was brought into the bloody storm of the day.

The field suddenly fell silent, except for the occasional snort of the war horse, only the hoarse and desolate voice of the old man echoed: "Those beasts are still not satisfied, and they have taken out their usual method of collusion and framing, slandering my clan, and wanting to take the opportunity to sweep away our Qin royal family, if it weren't for the queen mother's vast powers, even those of us who didn't participate in the seizure of the heir would not be able to survive." ”

As he spoke, the old man's eyes were already red, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with the dirty rags on his shoulders, and hissed: "Although we were able to steal our lives, those beasts regarded us as 'remnants' and put us in another book, and we were not allowed to receive alms from the Zongren Mansion, nor were we allowed to make any living, nor were we allowed to leave Gyeonggi, but they wanted us to starve to death." The prince can ask them whose family has not starved to death of relatives, and whose family has not been plundered by those beasts! As he spoke, the captives on the ground wept.

Qin Lei had already believed most of it in his heart, and asked softly, "What happened later?" ”

Qin Xuanqian sighed and said, "We can't survive in the capital, and we are all about to be forced to die." Uncle Prince Jia pointed us the way, he said that the Jingshan military camp of our Zongren Mansion soldiers is idle, there is no exit from Jinggi and far away from the central capital, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the land is fertile, and with only a little effort, we can dig food out of the soil, and we will not be able to feed our wives and children. So more than 100 of our families really moved here from Beijing. ”

Qin Lei asked in a low voice, "How are you doing?" ”

Qin Xuanyan laughed miserably: "In the first year, there will be nothing, but fortunately, Prince Jia has moved some grain from the imperial village to help, so he can barely get by." After that, the days got better and better, and no one starved to death again, and after more than ten years, three or four hundred new dolls were added......" said with a long sigh: "But now there is nothing but people." I don't know how to survive this winter......"

Qin Lei raised his eyes and looked around, looked at the ruins like a garbage heap, and said a little embarrassedly: "The Lonely King burned your home. He had believed the old man's words. If he can, he is ready to help these people.

How do you know that the old man Xiao Suo shook his head and said, "But I can't complain about the prince," said Qin Lei and smiled hard: "When you came here yesterday, what did you think?" ”

Qin Lei considered his words and said in a non-irritating way: "It's as if you've just been attacked by bandits." ”

Who knew that the old man actually nodded and said: "Lord Mingjian, we have indeed suffered a bandit disaster here!" He said with a proud face: "If the prince had come over a few days earlier, the scene he saw would have been as good as a cloud." At that time, our Jingshan Village houses were like chickens and dogs, strange traffic, farming, yellow hair drooping, and happy, compared to Mr. Wuliu's peach blossom source. ”

"Ball!" Bo Xian Saiyang finally couldn't help but exclaim: "Don't be ashamed, this is also a peach blossom source?" It's so, isn't it? Although the others did not dare to be as presumptuous as him, they also lowered their voices and chuckled, and no one seemed to believe it.

The captives who had been ordered to let go by Qin Lei seemed to have been greatly insulted, and they all described the past scene to Qin Lei and them with their throats. Qin Lei hurriedly raised his hand to stop, and smiled at everyone: "Whoever doesn't think that his hometown is good, the lonely king believes in you." ”

Qin Ba, who was covered in bruises and covered his left eye, said indignantly: "You prince clearly still don't believe it, you can go and ask that old prince, he has lived here all summer!" ”

"Which prince?" Qin Lei looked at Qin Xuanyan and asked in a low voice. But he will not mingle with the unscrupulous man.

"Our Engong of the entire Jingshan Village, His Royal Highness Prince Jia." The old man said solemnly.

Qin Lei's mind flashed over the picture of the loofah drawn by the old prince, at that time, he just thought that the old prince was thinking about himself, but he didn't expect that because the old prince had spent a summer of farm life here, he was stained with a local atmosphere, and he drew a few big loofahs.

There is also the first of the three requirements in the Empress Dowager's decree: treat the clan well. Qin Lei has always felt that it overlaps with the second article of patience and regrouping, and in Qin Lei's understanding, patience and regrouping of the army, not simple and rude, is to treat the clan well, but there is no need to say it separately. But who is the old queen mother? The world's first female is also, putting a corpse is meaningful, how can it be useless. It is because Qin Lei has always been puzzled, and it seems that today, this first article is to let himself treat these people well! The second article refers to those bear bags in Beijing.

Thinking of this, Qin Lei bowed his head to the old man and said, "The lonely king believes it." He asked in a deep voice, "Why did it happen like that?" The one who also attacked the Lone King? ”

Qin Xuanyan suddenly had a flash in his heart, and said secretly: The time has come to change his fate. He was blessed to cry out 'sin deserve death' on one side of his soul, and on his knees on the other. He seemed to be the leader of these people, and seeing him like this, others also knelt down, and even that Qin Ba reluctantly lay on the ground.

Qin Lei squinted at these people and didn't stop them. I heard Qin Xuanyan say respectfully: "Even if we give us 10,000 guts, we don't dare to attack the prince's team, but there is a misunderstanding in this." Wang Ye Rongyu, our Jingshan Village was robbed in the night five days ago. Those people were also dressed in black, so they were mistakenly recognized by the children, and they begged the prince for forgiveness. ”

"Get up and speak." Qin Lei said, when he entered the village yesterday, he did find traces of military disasters in the village.

Qin Xuanyan took a few hundred men to kowtow to Qin Lei twice, and Qin Lei turned sideways before they stood up and spoke again.

When they got up again, Qin Lei seemed to say to himself: "The capital of the capital, the capital of the first good, just saying that 200,000 forbidden troops are heavily guarded, it is enough to keep the Gyeonggi region closed at night, where are the large numbers of bandits coming from?" "To rob such a large village with no weak self-defense ability, it is not possible for three or five hundred people to do it.

Qin Ba hadn't gotten his way to the end of his breath, and when he heard Qin Lei say this, he couldn't help but say indignantly: "Ordinary thieves can't enter Gyeonggi, but the guards in Gyeonggi are unimpeded. ”

Bo Xian Saiyang made a fuss and said, "You mean the forbidden army?" ”

Qin Xuanyan took over the conversation and trembled slightly: "Yes, it is the Broken Army of the Eight Forbidden Army!" Qin Ba's fists clenched and creaked, and he said angrily: "Break the captive, they are captives themselves, who will break them?" ”

If they talk about other troops, Qin Lei will just listen to it, after all, the Queen Mother only told him to treat these people well, not including helping them take revenge. But the Broken Army is different, just a few months ago, Qin Lei's team was driven by him and fled, not to mention, there are more than 300 brothers in their hands.

In Qin Lei's words, this beam is too big, and it can't be uncovered without ten or twenty times the price. Therefore, as soon as they heard the word 'Broken Army', some of the drowsy guards suddenly came to their senses, and listened to Qin Xuan's words with green eyes: "In the middle of the night five days ago, the dogs in the village suddenly began to bark. After a while, the clansmen who were guarding outside the village sounded the siren gong. Afraid that Qin Lei would not understand, he explained: "Because I was afraid that the adults in the capital would be worried, we were very vigilant from the beginning, and dug a tunnel under the Zhuangzi. ”

Bo Xian Saiyang listened to it and smiled happily: "It seems that he is safe and sound." ”

Qin Xuanyan sighed and said, "If you practice diligently, it will definitely be like this, but these years of peaceful life have made us paralyzed. Many families patronized and packed up the grain, but before they could run to the tunnel entrance, they were rushed into the village by those bandits and blocked the scourge. He was a little glad and said: "Of course, if it weren't for this tunnel, which took our village more than ten years of effort, I'm afraid it would have been slaughtered." Relying on this tunnel and dealing with the bandits on the ground for two days, Xu was afraid that the news would leak out, and when he saw that he couldn't help us for a while, he withdrew. When we came out of the tunnel, the outside was ruined like that. ”

said and arched his hand: "I didn't expect that the tunnel that we are proud of is like a chicken and a dog in front of the prince, and I admire it very much, and I want to thank the prince for not killing the killer and leaving us miserable people." ”

Qin Lei shook his head slightly and smiled: "No need to thank you, you will know in the future, King Gu is a very kind person." Shi Yong, Ma Ai, and all the guards, all rolled their eyes in their hearts and said, if you are kind, the tens of thousands of souls in Maicheng are afraid that they will die again.

But Qin Xuanling, who didn't know the details, didn't feel any discomfort except that they felt that this prince was not modest at all, and still expressed their gratitude sincerely.

Qin Lei happily accepted their thanks, and it took a long time to remember his question, and asked Qin Xuan, "How do you know that it is the Broken Army?" ”

"When the old man was in his prime, he was on an errand in the military department, and he knew all the main battle armies of Great Qin well, although these people tried their best to hide their figures, they couldn't hide the old people's eyes." Qin Xuanyan was very sure.

Qin Lei nodded, and didn't want to delve into it. The heart is not bothered by the two masters, so let's put this account on the head of the broken army. Now that he had figured out the ins and outs of the matter, Qin Lei had the leisure to ask, "What about your old and weak women and children?" "These four or five hundred people range from the half-grown son of twelve or thirteen to the little old man like Qin Xuanyan, who is more than sixty and can still eat, everything, that is, there are no women, children, and old people who walk on three legs.

"Back to the prince's words, the old man was worried that those bandits would come again, so he sent them all to hide in the Jingshan, where there was a cave hollowed out by the government soldiers back then, which was quite secret." Qin Xuanyan was indeed the leader of these people. He continued: "We men stay here to collect our relatives, and we want to clean up the village again when it is completely safe...... Good winter. ”

Bo Xianyang listened, pouted and said: "The old man bragged again, it was dirty and smelly here before we came, where did we clean it?" ”

Qin Xuanyan knew that his status was second only to Qin Lei, so he didn't dare to slack off, and explained seriously: "In two days, if those bandits don't come again, we will start cleaning up." Speaking of this, he said a little gloomily: "To be honest, this house is not worried, and the big deal is to spend the winter in the cave." But the grain has been robbed, not to mention wintering, and now it is out of food. ”

Hearing the uncle say this, Qin Ba nodded and said, "I haven't eaten for two days." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Bo Xianyang complained: "When the meeting is dispersed, you come with me, and you are full." ”

Hearing the word 'Guan Satie', Qin Ba's eyes lit green, licked his lips, but pointed to his fellow villagers and said in a sullen voice: "I don't want to go with you, I have to guard here, I can't let them be bullied." ”

Qin Lei couldn't help but stop Bo Xianyang from continuing to mix with him, and asked Qin Xuanyan, "What are your plans for the next step?" ”

Qin Xuanyan shook his head in confusion, and knelt down and said, "Please give me some guidance and save our two thousand clan relatives." ”

Qin Lei said in his heart, if you don't say it, I have to take care of it, who will let the Queen Mother explain. On his face, he was embarrassed: "What about this, ......" After a pause, he saw that Qin Xuan's necks were about to break, and then he muttered: "I won't tell you that the Zongzheng Mansion soldiers have been reorganized, so the Jingshan camp will also be rebuilt." ”

With a buzz, the old and young masters surnamed Qin on the ground turned gray, now they don't even have their own homes, the world is so big, there is no place for them to stand, and they can't help but hang their heads and feel like mourning. Only Qin Xuanyan didn't think so, he felt that if this was the case, there was no need for this young prince to be verbose at all, and he would directly order the expulsion, so there was no need to bother talking.

Thinking of this, Qin Xuanqian arched his hand and said, "Please have mercy on the prince." ”

Looking at the poor relatives who were kneeling on the ground, Qin Lei smiled and said: "Rebuilding a military camp of tens of thousands of people is a huge project, so King Gu hopes that you can stay and work, so that at least there is no problem for the winter." ”

Qin Xuanqian said in his heart, no matter what else, stick to you first, then bow his head and say, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

Seeing that the old uncle agreed, Qin Ba raised his eyebrows, straightened up and asked Bo Xian Saiyang: "Did you just say that it counts?" ”
