Jingyang City has almost become a dead city, and the corpses of countless people have been dragged out of the rubble by the soldiers and piled up in the open space outside the city gate. The few survivors gathered around the corpses, looking for their loved ones, and the sound of crying echoed, but they could no longer recall the smiling faces they once had.
The carriage passed by here, without stopping, and headed along the official road in the direction of Shuofang, and all you would see along the way was such a terrible image, countless corpses, countless black blood stains left after the blood had dried up, and countless burned ruins.
Along the way, everything I saw, heard, and smelled was all like this, which made the eyes of several princes who were ten years old at the earliest and six years old at the youngest were blank. But Li You and Li Su were really scared, but the other four people were burning in the deepest part of their eyes, in addition to sadness and mourning. That's hatred, it's anger. Who are they? They are all Li Er's seeds, they are the sons of dragons and grandsons, although they are still young at this time, but they are destined to be the generations who turn over the rivers and seas in the future, and the seeds of hatred for the Turks and aliens are planted at this moment, and they will definitely sprout and grow into towering trees in the future, and that is the time to harvest.
This is also Li Er's intention, he wants to use this cruelty to screen his son first, and those who are completely knocked down are unbearable, but can survive. It has the value of cultivation. This is also a kind of thing that cannot be said to anyone, and Li Er didn't even tell anyone about his purpose. Even the biological mothers of several children don't know Li Er's intentions, otherwise the eldest grandson would not have jumped out to oppose Li Er.
All the way. From time to time, there would be people killed on the roadside, either by swords, or by hunger and cold. The soldiers gathered the corpses and buried them en masse.
All the way through, all the way non-stop, all the way sad, all the way sad.
Li Kuan went from sadness at the beginning to anger. When he arrived at Mu Ran, at this time, he was actually like a water, and he gnawed on the scallion pancake in his hand. Watching the soldiers in the distance collect the corpses, I saw too much, and these things became common. The original sadness and anger are contained in the depths of the heart, because sadness and anger have no meaning. Only with the blood and heads of those alien races can these good souls be comforted. The taste of scallion pancakes is beautiful. The aroma is overflowing. But when I left, I ate like chewing wax, and I didn't feel anything delicious.
"Grandpa, you can't die! Don't you want Tianxiang? A small voice came from the side of the official road, although the voice was hoarse but still beautiful, it was a little girl's voice, Li Kuan was attracted.
A small figure in a linen cloth garment was struggling to shake an old man, who was lying on the side of the road. Motionless. You can't live like this. Although Datang has sent people to start disaster relief everywhere, it is in charge of all aspects. These people who fled were hiding in all directions, and they did not know where they had gone. Even if the disaster relief team arrived, these people didn't know! Just like the old and the young in front of them, they should have escaped, otherwise countless soldiers on this official road would have sounded the gong a few days ago, and this ancestor would not have heard it, and he only appeared here now.
"What's going on? Wang Hu, go take a look! "Li Kuan is in charge of nosy, he didn't make a move in other places before, because there have already been people from the government there to deal with it, and now on this official road, there is no one around, and he must be in charge of it when he encounters it.
"Obey, His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" Wang Hu is going down.
But at this moment, Li Kuan also thought that he hadn't been on the ground for a long time, so he said, "Let's go together!" Li Kuan raised the curtain and got out.
The official road of the Tang Dynasty is also like the highway of later generations, the more economically developed, the more important the political status, the more wide and flat the place with special military status, the official road from Chang'an City to Jingyang City was enough for the royal carriage to pass, but after leaving Chang'an for a hundred miles, the official road became narrow, which also caused Li Kuan and several people to take several small carriages.
The official road is not easy to walk, either there is a pit here, or there is a hole there, and the carriage that walks in front will sink into it from time to time. Therefore, after Li Chengqian walked for half a day, he complained bitterly. Because he was sitting in the carriage, he didn't know when something would happen, so it was inevitable that he would relax, and this was not a big bag on Li Chengqian's head in a pothole.
After that, a few little guys took turns to open the way, and now it was Li Kuan's turn.
Li Kuan jumped off the ground, his feet almost slipped, he had been sitting in the car for a long time, and his legs were a little numb, which was a lack of qi and blood. Fortunately, Li Kuan was extremely stable, otherwise he would have been embarrassed, and walked with Wang Hu to the place where the crying on the side of the road came.
When Little Gray saw that his master had come down, he immediately shook his head and ran over. Three or four months have passed, and Little Gray has grown a lot, and now it is about two feet tall, which is the highest height of an ordinary pastoral dog, but Little Gray is still growing. Li Kuan was looking forward to how big this little guy would grow, stretched out his hand and grabbed the long mane on the neck of the little gray ash, rubbed its head, and stopped its intimacy of wanting to wash its face with its tongue, and scolded with a smile: "Go while playing!" ”
Little Gray Wagged His Tail and followed, as if he didn't hear it, and Li Kuan let it go. It's just a dog anyway, and he's used to it.
After a while, the two of them came to the place where the crying came from, and the old man was dressed in thin linen clothes, with patches and patches on them, and it was very ragged. The child lay on top of him, whimpering and crying.
"Don't cry, let's see if your grandfather is still saved!" Li Kuan said loudly.
"Is there really salvation?" Hearing this, the crying child suddenly raised his head to look at Li Kuan, a pair of clear eyes, like a clear spring, clear to the bottom, dark eyes flashing with hope, begging at the little brother in front of him in a brocade robe.
"Let's take a look!" Li Kuan motioned to Wang Hu, these men who came down from the battlefield know better than those doctors whether a person is still alive or not, and they have killed a lot of people, and if a person is still alive and dead, then he deserves to die in the hands of the enemy.
Wang Hu leaned down, probed the artery in the old man's neck for a while, and then stretched out his hand to hold it on his chest, then turned around and shook his head slightly at Li Kuan: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this old man has died of anger and can't be saved!" ”
Wang Hu's words made the child who had a glimmer of hope desperate, and tears flowed down his big eyes: "Wow...... Grandpa, you don't want to die...... Woo ......" sound like a cuckoo crying blood, lying on the old man's corpse and reluctant to get up, feeling the last bit of warmth on his grandfather's incompletely cooled body.
"Crying, crying for what? Finding a place to bury your grandfather is the most important thing, crying is a fart! "This kid is not related to Li Kuan, so leaving is not like coaxing Li Lizhen and Li Nianwei to coax him. Besides, this little guy is wearing two boys' buns, he should be a boy, how can a boy cry casually. Li Kuan must have no good tone, it's good not to scold him.
"Woo woo......" When Li Kuan said this, the child immediately stopped crying, and sobbed quietly, not daring to look at Li Kuan.
"Let's go! We'll bury your grandfather first, and then we'll look for your family, and if you can't find it, we'll find you a place to settle down!" Li Kuan took the child's hand and walked forward, Wang Hu carried the old man's body and followed behind.
Back to the carriage, Li Kuan asked Li Ke to go ahead and open the way, he wanted to bury the old man first, put it into the ground, and in this era of war, he didn't pay attention to any feng shui treasures, where are the bones not buried in the green mountains? I'll catch up with the old man after I bury him.
In this way, Li Kuan and the large army separated, and the original guards left ten people to guard Li Kuan, and the rest slowly drove forward. Li Kuan asked the guards to dig a pit on the side of the official road and bury the old man. Originally, I wanted to ask the child their surname and set up an inscription, but time did not allow it, so I hastily made a big stone but did not care about making a mark, so that the child could move the grave of his grandfather when he grew up.
After doing this, Li Kuan pulled the crying child into the carriage and began to chase after the large army, which had been gone for half an hour. This is also Li Kuan's later thoughts, helping people to the end, sending Buddha to the west, since he helped the child, then he must do his best, in fact, this matter only needs to leave two guards to deal with Li Kuanda does not have to stay personally, but Li Kuan still stayed.
In the carriage, the child cowered in a corner, and he also understood the identity of the owners of these carriages, these are the sons of today's saints, all of them are little princes, these are all big people, I am afraid that it was a luxury to want to see each other before, but now he can sit in the same carriage, it is really something he never thought of.
"Why, don't you have anything to say to me?" Li Kuan sat for a while, looked at the timid child, and spoke.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Chu!" The child said softly, from the conversation between the little brother and the guard in front of him before, he knew that this was the second son of the current saint and was named the king of Chu, so he said this.
"That's it? Nothing else? Li Kuan asked with interest.
"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, my name is Yu Tianxiang, I am a mountain man in Zhangjiaji in front, and my grandfather depends on each other, and now my grandfather is dead, I don't know where to go, my grandfather is Tianxiang's last relative. Woo......" The child began to cry again.
"Crying again......" Li Kuan was a little speechless, did the family raise this kid as a girl? Why do you cry at every turn! And the name is so motherly, Tianxiang, I rub, I also have a national color! Really, it's just a minor nuisance, and you really shouldn't be nosy! Li Kuan's small citizen thoughts began to make mistakes again, and he felt that he shouldn't care, and often regretted that this was the most typical expression.
"Forget it, don't cry yet, let's catch up with my brothers first, follow me along the way, and when we meet Chang'an in the future, I'll ask my mother, and then see how to arrange you!" Li Kuan originally wanted to place him in his Jiuxian Residence, and he wouldn't care about it no matter what, even if he regretted it, but when he thought that this little guy would be a pseudo-mother in the future, he felt sick to his stomach and felt that it was a good idea to lose it to the eldest grandson.
