After Ah Qiang left, only Yunqi and the man were left in the house, looking at each other, and Yunqi persuaded softly: "Can you put down the knife first, I have no ill will towards you!"

The man guessed, "You... Are you a corpse carrier?"

"Everyone calls me that, what's your name?"

The man knew that Yunqi was a corpse carrier, and his guard gradually let go of his guard, and he replied: "My name is Tao Ping, a native of the Western Regions, I'm sorry, I saw that there was enemy armor in the room, and I thought I was captured, so I injured the little brother just now!"

Yun Qi glanced at the set of armor hanging by Ah Qiang in the room, and smiled bitterly: "The person's name just now is Ah Qiang, he is indeed a soldier in the Southern Regions, and he was also rescued by me not long ago, and then he and I saved you a few days ago, and he doesn't treat you as an enemy now, so I hope you don't treat him as an enemy either." ”

"They killed so many of us, how could I, as a lieutenant general in the army, not regard them as enemies?" Tao Ping suddenly said excitedly.

"Don't get excited, I don't care if you are enemies on the battlefield, but here, you are just ordinary people, especially after dying once, you should understand the importance of life!" Yunqi's tone was calm, but it calmed down Tao Ping, remembering the moaning on the battlefield at the beginning, the corpses piled up next to him, vultures flying in the air, and wild wolves howling everywhere, that kind of despair, he never wanted to experience it a second time in his life.

Yun Qi saw that Tao Ping was gradually calming down, and continued: "You take care of your injuries here first, and after you recover from your injuries, I can't control where you want to go or who you want to be enemies with." ”

After saying that, he exited the room and continued to bury the body on the board car. Cuong also bandaged a little, followed him and set off with him, and about an hour later, the two returned, and repeated this several times until all the corpses on the battlefield were brought back. Tao Ping saw through the small window in the room that the two of them did not distinguish between the Southern Regions and the Western Regions, as long as they were killed in battle, they were buried together, and he was touched in his heart, and gradually put down his hatred.

In the following days, it was still Ah Qiang who took care of Tao Ping until Tao Ping's injuries were almost healed. This is all done by Yunqi on purpose, the purpose is to hope that they can put down their hatred, obviously, his arrangement has had an effect, Tao Ping is no longer hostile to Ah Qiang, but gradually began to help them work together, ten days later, there is one more person in the corpse transport team, the three of them get along in harmony, and build another hut next to the hut.

One day, the three of them went to Liuhan Pass together to transport the corpse, several soldiers from the Western Regions appeared on the battlefield, this kind of thing Yunqi touched a lot, so they didn't care, these people saw that it was the corpse carrier, and planned to come forward to help, but they recognized Tao Ping, seeing that he was not dead, not only did not return to the barracks, but carried the corpse here, a little resentful, no matter how Tao Ping and they explained, they couldn't listen, shouting to treat him as a deserter, and take him back to military law. In desperation, Tao Ping resisted, Ah Qiang also rushed over, shot together, and seriously injured several soldiers, and when Yunqi rushed over, it was already too late, Yunqi looked at several soldiers lying on the ground, and explained: "I'm really sorry for hurting you today, but Tao Ping He is indeed what I rescued from the battlefield, when I met him, there was only one breath left, if I was one step late,

He has become the dinner of the wolf, and now that he is alive, he has the right to choose his own life, I hope you will stop blaming him, one day, if you have also experienced that kind of death, maybe you will understand him!" After saying that, Yunqi took Tao Ping and Ah Qiang back to his residence.

After coming back, Tao Ping felt uneasy, he was worried that there would be soldiers chasing him, so in order not to implicate Yunqi, he planned to go to the barracks alone to receive the crime, but was stopped by Yunqi. About two hours later, a group of horses' hooves sounded, towards the thatched hut, led by a general of about forty, looking quite serious, when he saw the dense tomb, the general and the soldiers behind him dismounted, bowed deeply to the tomb, and remembered for a moment, most of the buried in it were their soldiers in the Western Regions.

The general didn't seem to want to disturb the souls of the dead who were resting here, and said to the soldiers behind him: "You wait here, I'll go in alone!"

The general came to the hut.

"I don't know what to call the general?" asked Yun Qi, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Huo Tong, is Mr. the corpse carrier?" the general was polite to Yunqi.

"Well, it's me, the general is here for Tao Ping, right?"

Huo Tong did not answer immediately, but first bowed to Yun Qi, thanking him for everything he had done to the dead soldiers, and then spoke: "Yes, Tao Ping violated the military order, as my deputy general, knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime will be added to the first." ”

"He's in there!" Yunqi pointed to Tao Ping's room. Huo Tong was surprised, he didn't expect Yun Qi to stop him, and was about to move forward, but he heard Yun Qi continue: "Before arresting him, can the general listen to me say a few words?"

"Sir, please speak!"

Yun Qi nodded, and said in a straight voice: "I don't know if the general has ever experienced that kind of despair of not being able to die. When I first saw Tao Ping, he was lying in a pool of blood, with two corpses pressed on his body, two feet away were a few wild wolves gnawing on the corpses, and there were vultures swooping down on his head, although it was night, but I could see clearly, his eyes were full of despair, at that moment he wanted to die, but he couldn't do it, if it weren't for me and Ah Qiang's appearance, he was afraid that he would be bitten to death by the wild wolves!"

Yunqi's purpose for saying this, Huo Tong was clear, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Mr. wants to intercede for him?"

"Yes or no. I know that if the army knows that he is alive but does not go back, it will have a certain impact on morale, but the adjutant general Tao Ping has already died once, killing the enemy on the battlefield, and now it is only Tao Ping, the corpse carrier, who is alive, and he should have the right to choose!"

Yunqi's last few words touched Huo Tong, Huo Tong glanced at Yunqi and walked straight to Tao Ping's room, Ah Qiang walked out of it, returned to Yun Qi's side, and asked in a low voice: "Engong, do you say they will let Tao Ping go?"

"What is it to let go?" Yunqi's words seemed to ask Ah Qiang, and as if he was talking to himself, he took out a pot of wine and drank it alone.

In the room, Tao Ping saw Huo Tong come in, knelt down on one knee and bowed, Huo Tong accepted his salute, and did not let him get up, and looked at the place where Tao Ping lived, which was extremely simple, after a while

Only then did he speak: "Why don't you go back to the barracks after you recover from your injuries?"

"General, don't hide it, I'm not afraid of dying in battle, but I'm not going to die if I'm injured, I don't want to experience it again. I dedicated my previous life to the battlefield, and now that I have survived, I want to do something meaningful. ”

"Isn't it meaningful to kill the enemy on the battlefield and defend the frontier?"

"But is it really to defend the frontier when we go to war now?" it is just to satisfy the selfish desires of the royal family!" Tao Ping replied on his knees, but did not get up.

When Huo Tong heard this, he interrupted angrily: "Presumptuous, you dare to comment on the rights and wrongs of the royal family!"

Tao Ping was not frightened by Huo Tong, and continued to say bluntly: "My subordinates are guilty, but I have really had enough of these days!"

Huo Tong was speechless, the years of war were all caused by some trivial contradictions, how could he not know this, but as a courtier, how could he have the right to choose. After a long time, he asked in a calm tone: "Then the current life, do you think it is meaningful?"

"Yes, Liuhan Guan, how many of our compatriots, they died for the country, but they don't even have a place to bury, and now follow Engong, at least give them a place to live after death!" Tao Ping replied firmly. As a general, you only need to put yourself in your shoes and think about how sad it would be if you were to die like this! This is why so many soldiers respect the corpse carrier.

Huo informed Tao Ping that he had made up his mind, and he would not go back with him today, so he said helplessly: "Deputy General Tao Ping, died in the battle at Liuhan Pass, after today, I Huo Tong will be under my command, there will be no such person, you can do it yourself!"

"General, you..."Tao Ping was actually ready to die in his heart, but he didn't expect Huo Tong to do this.

"Get up, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, I will declare to the outside world that you have been corrected on the spot today, and I will go to Liuhanguan to transport the corpse in the future, and try to avoid some soldiers!" Huo Tong finished speaking, turned around and walked outside, without looking back.

Tao Ping knelt down and bowed, he had been under Huo Tong for more than ten years, and he had been promoted by him all the way, and he had already regarded each other as his best confidants!

Huo Tong walked out of the room, Ah Qiang wondered why he was the only one, but Yunqi seemed to have guessed the result, and Huo Tong couldn't help asking, "Mr. knows that I will do this?"

"The general is a person who values love and righteousness, and I admire him!" Yun Qi hugged his fists and saluted.

Huo Tong hurriedly replied: "In case it is not as good as Mr., in the future, he will bother Mr. to take care of him more, and the heroic soul of my soldiers in the Western Regions also has Mr. Lao!"

Yunqi sighed bitterly: "That's all I can do, if there is no more war, then everyone will be happy!"

When Huo Tong heard this, he didn't continue, he could feel Yunqi's helplessness, but if he wanted to have no war in the world, it seemed impossible!

"The traitor Tao Ping, who violated military discipline, has been killed by me on the spot, and since then there is no Tao Ping, return to the camp!" In the distance, Huo Tong's voice was reflected in the ears of Yunqi and the others, followed by the sound of horses' hooves, and gradually drifted away!

When Ah Qiang heard this, he thought that he had really killed Tao Ping, and hurriedly ran into the house!
