Chapter 19: The Destruction of the Village
Hearing him say this, Ma Sheng and the others quieted down, and they lowered their heads and thought about this Zuo Ning's words, and they seemed to be touched. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Gao Yu shook Zuo Ning's hand: "Take it, there is something wrong with that drum, I can't win!" Actually, I don't plan what you do for me, only what you can do for yourself. ”
Zoning shook his head, as if he didn't know where to start with a thousand words.
"Well, I only have a few words, you can answer me. What do you have in the hands of the Queen Mother, and what does it mean that you suddenly asked Ma Sheng that day if the whole village helped him celebrate? If this really bothers you, I didn't ask. Gao Yu helped Zo Ning up and said slowly.
Zuo Ning looked at Gao Yu, and then looked at Hu Tieling. Wei Mingcheng slapped Hu Tieling: "Let's go back first!" ”
Zo Ning was even more moved in his heart, he knew that if he said something, any of the three of them could kill him, but seeing the three of them turning around to leave with their shoulders on their shoulders, Zo Ning suddenly remembered his own brother and family. "Don't go!"
The three of them stopped, and Zo Ning said to Gao Yu: "Da Mi, we all have the handle in the hands of the Queen Mother." This handle is the hostage, and our loved ones can only be seen after we have carried out our mission. ”
Ma Sheng said to Hu Tieling: "So, after I finish this mission, I can go back to see my father?" ”
Hu Tieling lowered his head and did not answer Ma Sheng's question.
Gao Yu had an ominous feeling in his heart, he looked at Zo Ning and asked, "Where did the Queen Mother take them?" ”
Zuo Ning raised his head, his expression was sad in the moonlight, and he said slowly: "After the incident of Leng Qing East Window, he fled to the Song Dynasty. But he was still discovered by Wang Bian, and finally found out that Leng Qing was ordered to take away Wang Bian's son. Since then, all the Assassins who exercised the secret orders of the imperial court were formed into a Liang army. The Liang army consisted of only thirty people, but they were all masters of Western Xia. Moreover, the Queen Mother also stipulated that all the families of the Liang army must be imprisoned. And neither of the Liang clans can know each other's names or hometowns. Otherwise......"
"Otherwise, it's like the two who died, and if they break discipline, the family will be punished. The Liang army's method of punishment was more cruel, if any soldier broke the taboo or failed the mission, let him choose someone from his family to die on his behalf. Therefore, some people fail the mission or violate the taboo, and in order to save their families, they choose to let themselves die......"
Gao Yu was very sad when he heard this, saying that those two people were killed by himself.
Zuo Ning also saw Gao Yu's expression, and he continued: "You don't have to blame yourself, in fact, it's the same sooner or later, the Queen Mother refuses to leave any clues about the Liang army." ”
Ma Sheng shook his head and said, "No, no!" I haven't seen my family. They must be fine. ”
Zo Ning looked at Ma Sheng and asked, "Kid, how did you come to the Liang Army?" ”
Ma Sheng said: "A few months ago, a pair of Western Xia soldiers passed by our village, and they were in a hurry, and then another group of soldiers asked me if I had seen the team in front of me. I said I saw it. They asked me how long I had been gone. I replied, "It's been a long time, but they can't go far, because they are sick and contagious, and they will bleed and die of rapid heartbeat." The man looked at me and left. That evening they returned with the men and spent the night in our village. The official asked me how I knew, and I said that I could read horses and understand Ma Yu. He asked me if I wanted to join the army, I didn't want to join the army, and he said that the Queen Mother had a Liang army by her side, and if she could get in, she would be a high-ranking official and would not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of her life. When my mother heard this, she said, "Then come from it!" I didn't think much about it, so I listened to my mother, and the next day I followed them on the road, and before leaving, my father and mother prepared a flowing water banquet to entertain my father and fellow villagers. ”
"Then do you know who brought you into the Liang Army?"
Shi Qian didn't know when he appeared in the middle of this person, he was small, and after listening to the story for a long time, he would get in and say: "It was Li Qing who escaped and wanted to go to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of the emperor, and it was the chief administrator of the Great Interior who arrested him." ”
Several people looked at Shi Qian together: "How do you know?" ”
"Everyone in the Xia Dynasty knows that such a big movement, that is, a few of you, will know what task the stuffy head is performing. Let you kill whoever you want, you don't know how fun the outside world is. He patted Zo Ning: "If I had your kung fu, I would have developed a long time ago......"
Gao Yu glared at him: "There are no rules, it's not good to apprentice!" ”
Shi Qian hurriedly knelt on one leg, looked at Zuo Ning and said: "My son-in-law is afraid that I will not become a talent, and he wants me to take the right path, but I may not take the right path after learning this, but it is better than letting people catch and kill me." Master, you can give my son-in-law a face, and accept me! ”
His words made several people smile bitterly, and Zo Ning stomped his feet: "Forget it, I should only be the last!" I'll take you. ”
Shi Qian kowtowed happily and jumped up and said, "What you said is so heroic, what do you mean by only being left behind?" Do you have no children? ”
Zo Ning sighed and said: "Doing this for us is like gambling for a long time without a winner, you always have to pay it back when you come out, your family is only temporary, if you want to blame yourself, you can blame yourself for hurting others and yourself!" ”
As soon as Ma Sheng turned around and was about to walk out, Hu Tieling grabbed him: "What do you want to go?" ”
"I don't believe what you say, I'm going to go home and see!"
Wei Mingcheng hugged him: "Can't go!" ”
Ma Sheng puffed out his cheeks and panted, Shi Qian asked, "What is he doing?" ”
Gao Yu said: "He wants to call Malai!" Saying that, he walked up to Ma Sheng and covered Ma Sheng's mouth: "Don't scream, you tell me where your hometown is, I'll figure it out!" ”
Ma Sheng nodded, Gao Yu let go of his hand, and Ma Sheng said, "My home is in a place called Majia Village in Tiemen Pass. ”
Gao Yu turned his head and asked Zo Ning, "Can we pass there?" ”
Zuo Ning said: "Our current route is to pass through Yanchi, and then pass through Dingbian to reach Yanzhou, if you take a detour, you can first take Baichi City, pass through Tiemen Pass, and finally take Wuchi to reach Yanzhou." But if it would be two or three days later than expected, would it arouse suspicion? ”
Gao Yu thought about it and asked Ma Sheng: "Based on your judgment of our horses now, if we travel day and night, can we reach Yanzhou at normal time?" ”
"That's fine!"
Gao Yu patted Ma Sheng on the shoulder: "Listen to me, have a good rest today, and tomorrow you prepare the horse and we will go on the road early in the morning, okay?" ”
Ma Sheng nodded, now he had no other way, and Gao Yu's understanding of them also made his heart full of gratitude.
Although Gao Yu knew that he still had a lot of questions, compared to these people, the pain of losing their family and the gradual cold-blooded numbness and the pain of waking up from being stimulated, those questions could only be asked slowly.
According to the route said by Zo Ning, they quickly detoured to Baichi City, and then arrived at Tiemen Pass, Ma Sheng sat in front of the carriage, pointed to the looming village in front of him and said to Gao Yu: "That is Majia Village." Drive! ”
He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, desperately urging the horse, Shi Qian sat in the carriage of the carriage, grasping the carriage with both hands, and he was about to vomit on the bumpy road: "You slow down, the car is going to disperse!" ”
Gao Yu looked at the village in the distance, and felt nervous, the land in front of the village was barren, and he couldn't see half a figure in the distance. Now is the time for spring ploughing, how can it be so bleak? If there were people in the village, at least they would see some anger and some cooking smoke, but in this village, apart from the birds hovering overhead, there is nothing.
Finally, a few people stopped at the entrance of the village, and there was a dead silence all around, and the crow of crows above made the air extremely suffocating. Gao Yu glanced at Zuo Ning and Hu Tieling, and there was a helpless look on their faces. Ma Sheng jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the village, but within two steps he pounced and tripped over. When he stood up, he lifted the white bone of one leg. When he understood, he screamed and ran desperately towards the village.
"Quick, keep up!" Gao Yu gave an order, and several people rushed in. Shi Qian hid in the carriage: "Oh my God, it scared me to death!" He said but refused to step out of the carriage.
A path leading to the middle of the village was littered with black-purple but faintly visible bloodstains, and in the middle of the village, there were tables lying upside down, crooked chairs, and broken wine jars. The clean broken plate by wild dog tian. On the side of the table and chair were corpses with only bones left......
Zuo Ning couldn't help but close his eyes, and Hu Tieling and Wei Mingchengsi clenched their fists angrily.
"Dad, mother!" Ma Sheng screamed, looking around for what might be the body of his relative, and finally he found a hairpin in front of a table, his knees were weak, and Zo Ning clutched the hairpin and cried.
Hu Tieling and Wei Mingchengsi stepped forward, and while taking care of him, they persuaded him: "While we are here, let's help you cook." ”
Gao Yu sighed and said to Zuo Ning beside him: "Isn't there an official mansion here?" Aren't you afraid that Ma Sheng will find out these when he goes home? ”
Zo Ning said: "This boundary belongs to the poor countryside, and the boundary belongs to the three regardless of the three, no one wants to do this. As for Ma Sheng...... It all depends on his creation, maybe if he fails this time, there will always be a scapegoat, and he is a newcomer who has not been tested and has hostages. And he went to the whole village of the Liang army to celebrate, which was a big taboo. ”
Gao Yu shouted to Shi Qian on the carriage at the entrance of the village: "Come down and go find some tools!" ”
Several people helped Ma Sheng bury the bones together, and when it got dark, Zo Ning handed the torch to Ma Sheng: "Burn this village!" ”
Ma Sheng wiped his tears, took the torch and threw it high, the torch fell on the roof of his house, and the fire spread after a while. Suddenly, Hu Tieling took out his special soft rope and tied Ma Sheng to a sturdy one.
Ma Sheng didn't seem to even have the idea of struggling, his eyes closed, Zuo Ning took out his knife and held it up to Gao Yu and asked, "Gao Dami, Ma Sheng can't work hard for the court anymore, kill him or not?" ”
