Chapter 765: Guan Xiaoshu's Past

There are less than ten days left before the Chinese New Year, but it is destined that Yan Yunjun's New Year will be spent on the march. The army marched at a pace that was not too urgent. In the middle of winter in the north, the war in Hebei was temporarily stopped because the weather was too cold, and the army went from Xiangyang to the north of the Yellow River.

After collecting the defeated soldiers of the Liang army and Li Shimin's men and horses, the 80,000 horses and horses of the Yanyun army when they went south became hundreds of thousands. Leaving Li Xiaogong to lead an army of 80,000 to defend Xiangyang City, Li Xian raised an army of 200,000 and marched north.

Of the 200,000 horses, more than half were surrendered troops.

The clothes and armor are not uniform, so it looks far less solemn and majestic than Yan Yunjun. But the 200,000-strong army stretched along the official road, and naturally it was magnificent. The official roads of the Great Sui are smooth and spacious, and there are people and horses for more than ten miles. If you look down from the heights, the marching procession looks like a dragon.

Sitting cross-legged on the carriage of the baggage camp, Wang Qinian squinted his eyes and hummed an unknown song, but he looked leisurely and complacent. Wan Yulou's trip was in vain, and he did not find Wei Chigong's body in the last few days of Xiangyang City, and he was ordered to rush back to Jiangdu on the day when the army was opened, and continued to prepare for the affairs of the military inspection office Nanya.

Wu Bushan, Guan Xiaoshu and others went north with the army, because there were carriages in the baggage camp, Wu Bushan ran to the baggage camp every day without incident, and chatted with Wang Qinian on a carriage. Guan Xiaoshu also followed, and gradually integrated into the world of Wu Bushan and Wang Qinian.

Wang Qinian, who was squinting and humming a little song, suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked Guan Xiaoshu, who was lying on the side: "I heard that when you joined the military inspection department, the first thing you did was to take the military inspection guards to destroy your own division, is it really fake?" ”

"How do you know?"

It is very comfortable to lie on the sack full of grain and grass, and you can leisurely watch the scenery along the way, which makes Guan Xiaoshu enjoy it very much. Hearing Wang Qinian ask this question, his expression was surprised.

"Guess how I know?"

Wang Qinian said with a smile.

"No need to guess...... Not many people know about this matter, even if there are few military guards who participated in this matter back then, few know the truth, and only Wan Yulou knows about it in Xiangyang City, I mentioned it to him when I was in Xiangyang City, and he must have told you. ”

"Let's talk about it"

Wang Qinian pulled out a pot of wine from the gap in the sack under him and handed it to Guan Xiaoshu: "I'm most interested in this kind of anecdote." ”

"It's not fun at all."

Guan Xiaoshu took the flask and took a sip, his eyes were a little confused: "It's not a secret that can't be said, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you, but what I have to tell you before I tell you is that the county marquis is ...... This story may disgust you, and you may not be in the mood to eat lunch today. ”

"It's okay"

Wu Bushan, who was next to him, interjected: "He can eat lunch even if it's." ”

Wang Qinian glared at Wu Bushan: "is also more fragrant than the taste in your mouth." ”

Wu Bushan smiled, didn't continue to tease the boring son, but looked at Guan Xiaoshu and said: "I have vaguely heard about you, if you don't mind, just tell me and Lao Wang, it's a long way to Hebei, so it's a pastime." ”

Guan Xiaoshu was silent for a while, then shook his head: "This is not a past that can be used for recreation. ”

"You and General Wang were the first to follow King Yan, so you must know Wen Yao, right?"

Wu Bushan is nothing, Wang Qinian's face changed.

"Lao Wu hadn't entered the inspection department when Wen Yao died, so he didn't necessarily know about Wen Yao. I know some, but I'm not necessarily in detail. ”

"Wen Yao is a pervert."

Guan Xiaoshu sighed: "Knowing that when he died, you don't know how happy I was in my heart." The reason why I voted for the lord and entered the military inspection office to work was because Wen Yao died. The lord killed Wen Jiao, who is my benefactor. ”

His eyes looked into the distance, and his tone revealed the vicissitudes of life that did not match his age: "You all know that the Long Tingwei under Wen Jiao is the personal guard of Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui. Long Tingwei is like a cloud, Yang Guang travels, and he will inevitably take Long Tingwei with him. Later, after Wen Jiao died, the men and horses of the Long Tingwei Brigade were slaughtered by the lord on the bank of the Yellow River. But ......"

Guan Xiaoshu was silent for a while and continued: "Long Tingwei is not Wen Xuan's only subordinate, nor is he the only person Yang Guang trusts. ”

Yang Guang has three cronies around him, one of them, Long Tingwei, is responsible for guarding the palace, investigating rebellion, inspecting the traitors, and monitoring the courtiers. The second is the army that claims to be truly invincible in the world to give the camp 800 blood armor and 800 elite soldiers to the camp, which can ensure that Yang Guang is trapped in 10,000 troops without fear. Third...... It was Leng Feng that was only prepared before Wen Yao's death. As for the red-robed guard camp after Wen Yao's death, it's just rubbish. ”

Guan Xiaoshu took a sip of wine and continued: "Leng Feng's people are all orphans, and they were collected by Wen Jiao within a radius of hundreds of miles from Jiangdu. Yang Guang went north to parade, and before being trapped in Yanmen Pass, Wen Yao was recuperating from his injuries in Jiangdu, and the key reason why he did not follow Yang Guang to the north was not that he was seriously injured, but that he was ordered by Yang Guang to form an organization specifically responsible for assassination, which was for Leng Feng. ”

In just one month, Wen Yao sent people to arrest 600 orphans from all over the country. You know...... At that time, orphans were not uncommon. ”

After saying this, he paused, shook his head, and said, "What happened next was very boring, and you should be able to guess it." In the end, only fifty of the six hundred people remained, and I don't want to say how the others died. ”

"I can guess."

Wu Bushan nodded, his face a little ugly.

……

……

That year, Jiangdu was uneventful, and nothing major happened. But in one of the most secret places in the palace, bloody and tragic things are staged every day.

Six hundred orphans, subjected to brutal training every day. Disguise, poisoning, archery, light skills, and even how to be a good male pet.

Half a year later, these orphans have made a small difference.

Guan Xiaoshu remembers that it was a very sunny morning. Wen Yao, dressed in brocade, appeared in the cold front camp and sat down on the carved wooden chair on the training ground. With a wave of his hand, one of the dragon guards beside him stepped forward and said loudly, "The reason why you survived is because of the mercy of the captain. Your only purpose in life is to obey the orders of the Captain. If the captain wants you to give birth, you will give birth. The captain wants you to die, and you die. ”

Guan Xiaoshu still hears this sentence often in his dreams.

"In the cold front camp, you eat the best, and you have begun to lead the court at a young age, and you will become Your Majesty's personal guard in the future, and this honor is given to you by the captain. But you must prove that you are worthy of this glory...... There are only fifty men left in the Cold Front Battalion, and you have 600. ”

That Long Tingwei held his chin high and said, "Now I give you the right to choose freely, and those who are willing to stay will stand still and don't move." Those who wish to leave will stand on the left, and in a moment they will give you money, and you will be able to leave. ”

The six hundred orphans looked at each other and hesitated for a moment, and quite a few began to walk to the left. Guan Xiaoshu stood in the middle of the crowd, and he also wanted to go to the left. But he was pulled by Zhang Xiaoge, who has always taken good care of him, Zhang Xiaoge is three years older than him and treats him very well, as if he is his own brother.

Guan Xiaoshu didn't know why Wu Xiaoge wanted to pull himself, but he knew that Zhang Xiaoge must be for his own good. So he stood still, and it turned out that Brother Zhang was right.

There were probably less than a hundred people standing on the left, and none of them could stand the hardships of training at the Cold Front Camp. But before they could stand up, they were surrounded by hundreds of dragon court guards around them. The leader of the Long Tingwei who had spoken before waved his hand violently, and those Long Tingwei pulled the crossbow on the one hundred and ten children.

One hundred and ten people, all of whom were shot dead on the spot.

Those who were not killed by the arrow were stabbed to death by Long Tingwei's people with horizontal knives one by one. The oldest was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the youngest was only in his teens.

At that time, the children who did not go to the left were frightened, and some even squatted on the ground and cried. Guan Xiaoshu was also frightened, but he didn't cry. More than 500 children were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and some of them were crying and vomiting. And what happened next was even bloodier.

All the crying children were dragged out by Long Tingwei's men and chopped off their heads one by one. The bloody heads were rolling on the bluestone slabs of the training ground, and a pair of dead eyes looked at the surviving children.

At this time, there were two hundred and sixteen orphans still alive.

"More, not less."

Wen Jia sighed with emotion and pointed to the orphans: "Two people in a group, until you kill each other." The rest were divided into groups and continued to kill until there were fifty people left. ”

This was the first and only sentence Wen Yao said after arriving here.

The orphans who resisted the fight were captured by the Long Tingwei who swarmed up again, and their pleading and crying were useless, and dozens of orphans were killed.

The next thing is something Guan Xiaoshu doesn't want to think about.

Just when the frightened Guan Xiaoshu was at a loss, Brother Zhang beside him kicked him over. Brother Zhang, who is the best to Guan Xiaoshu on weekdays, has a hideous face like a ghost. He walked step by step to Guan Xiaoshu, who fell to the ground, and said word by word: "Xiaoshu, don't hate me, I don't want to die, so you can die, okay?" ”

He asked.

Guan Xiaoshu shook his head and climbed back.

But escaping is not a way, when he has nowhere to escape, he begins to resist, although he is not Zhang Xiaoge's opponent, but it is not very easy for Zhang Xiaoge to kill him. He practices on weekdays, and he is very attentive. But after all, he still couldn't beat Brother Zhang, who was three years older than him, and when he saw that Brother Zhang picked up half a wooden stick from the ground and was about to poke it into his throat, Brother Zhang was picked up and thrown aside.

The fight was over, Guan Xiaoshu was lucky, he was one of the fifty people, although he didn't kill anyone, he held on long enough.

Brother Zhang, who was thrown aside, stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, threw away the wooden stick in his hand, walked to Guan Xiaoshu and pulled him up, and said with a smile that it was good to be alive.

yes, it's nice to be alive.

Until now, Guan Xiaoshu can't forget the expression on Brother Zhang's face when he said this.

Later, the fifty survivors began to undergo more rigorous training. One of the most unbearable pieces of training was that each of them had to be raped by Long Tingwei, who trained them. To be a qualified male pet is also something they must do.

Later, Wen Yao died.

Later, the Leng Feng Battalion, which had no Wen Yao, became orphans again.

At this time, Brother Zhang stood up and escaped from the palace with everyone. They started killing people to make money, and as long as someone made an offer, they would kill anyone. It's a bunch of perverts, a bunch of madmen.

Later, when Guan Xiaoshu knew that Wen Yao died at the hands of His Royal Highness King Yan. escaped from Leng Feng and defected to Yan Yunjun. He found Qing Kite and Huang Luan, but Qing Kite and Huang Luan didn't know about Leng Feng's camp. Wen Jia didn't even tell the two of them about the formation of the Leng Feng Battalion. But Guan Xiaoshu knew that the two of them used to be Wen Yao's people, so he could only look for them.

When Li Xian knew that there was still a cold front in this world, he gave an order without the slightest hesitation.

This is a group of people who shouldn't exist, let's kill them all.

Ye Chuanyun and Leng Yi personally led the team, and selected assassins from the third and fifth divisions of the Military Inspectorate to escort south. Also going with Dugu Ruizhi, the head of the second department, and in fact, his poison is the most useful.

Guan Xiaoshu took a large number of military guards to find Leng Feng's hideout.

Until now, he couldn't understand Brother Zhang's smile before he died.

Is that...... Relieved?

Even a little happy?

……

……

Looking at the scenery in the distance, Guan Xiaoshu took the last sip of wine into his mouth.

"Thank you"

Suddenly, he said these two words.

Wang Qinian and Wu Bushan were both stunned, and they didn't understand why Guan Xiaoshu wanted to thank him.

"There are no trustworthy people around me, and I always dare not reminisce about the past."

Guan Xiaoshu lay down on the grain and grass sacks again, and looked at the blue sky with his arms on his pillow: "I can talk to people unscrupulously and speak from my heart...... That's nice...... So, thank you. ”

PS: This is a separate story, and I will write about other people in the future. For example, Wu Bushan, such as Wang Qinian, such as Wan Yulou.
