Chapter 335: He Lao arranges the aftermath
Zhang Sui looked at Sun Ying's excited appearance, with an extremely embarrassed look on his face.
Seeing this, Sun Ying looked at Xun Que behind him, Wuxin Monk, Ah Xin and others, and said: "Now that the Great Qin State is in trouble, the Fengjiu Demon General will not talk about it for the time being, as a human race, do you also have to watch the country collapse and the family die?" You know, under the nest, there are no eggs! If Daqin is really destroyed, everyone will be a lost dog in the future! Could it be that you still expect the Demon Clan, the Qi State, or the Chu State to treat you like their own people? Besides, the demons and our human race have been enemies for generationsβ"
The Wuxin monk said: "The poor monk has something to say. β
"Master, you say!" Sun Ying said busily.
The Wuxin monk sneered and said, "I have so many sons in Daqin, everyone has heavy troops under their hands, and now that Daqin is in trouble, what are they going to do?" We, the civilians, spontaneously used blood to build the city wall, and in the end, everyone was wrapped in horse leather, who enjoyed the benefits? Don't talk to the poor monks about those descendants, the poor monks don't even have descendants! β
Sun Ying said with a calm face: "Master, everyone in the world is worried, as a member, all we can do is have a clear conscience." If they can't do it, when the time comes, the family will be ruined, and they will be able to taste the bitter fruit! Master, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, if everyone is like those sons, where can we Daqin survive to this day? I'm afraid I'm going to die long ago! β
"You can be so optimistic and cheerful, that is the blessing of the donor, the poor monk can't think through it, and he won't do it." The Wuxin monk had an extra jar of wine in his hand, and while raising his head to drink, he walked towards the door and said, "Brother Sui, let's hurry up and set off for the light of the East Pole." β
Looking at the back of the unintentional monk leaving, Sun Ying's face turned blue with anger.
Turning his eyes to Ashin and Xun Que, he saw Ashin glance at Sun Ying in fear, and said weakly: "Where Brother Sui'er goes, where will I go." I don't understand the righteousness of those countries, I only know that my life belongs to Brother Sui. If he tells me to die, then die. If he doesn't say anything, I'll always be there for him. β
Zhang Sui glanced back at Ashin, who blushed and silently turned away with two axes.
Kanbei didn't say anything and left. After all, he is a merman clan, although he has now drawn a clear line with the merman clan, but the life and death of the human race has little to do with him.
Xun Que glanced at Zhang Sui, hugged his fist at Zhang Sui, and then said to Sun Ying: "I took a hexagram yesterday and this morning, and the hexagram is like good luck, presumably this time it will be able to turn evil into good fortune." β
What is the use of believing this? What this seat needs is talents and soldiers who can fight the demons. Sun Ying smiled bitterly, raised his head and sighed: "I think my Great Qin was so prosperous in the past, but since the rebellion of the Northern Army of the Protectorate, the mountains and rivers have been broken!" King Qin had a lot of blood, but he couldn't stand the rabble above the court. If Great Qin was destroyed in this war, those princes and ministers didn't know how to face their ancestors and descendants after death? Every time I think of this, I really want to drag them to the execution ground! Also, this seat has repeatedly forced the people to serve the country and their homes, but it is the prince and the minister who enjoy all this, which is really sad. β
After Sun Ying finished speaking, he waved his hand at Zhang Sui and the others, and sighed: "Let's go, destroy the country, destroy the country!" There is only one life in this seat, and the only thing that can be done is 'the city is in the people, and the city is dead'. β
Zhang Sui and Xun Que glanced at each other, and they both stood up and walked towards the door, Bai Luhan and Bai Su followed closely behind.
Out of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the busy soldiers and people in the city, several people were speechless all the way.
The imperial lord and his master He Lao talked about the old days, and were about to come out to find Zhang Sui, when they happened to meet a few people who came out with their heads drooping.
"Let's not look for an inn, go to my master's house for a few days, and then go to the East Pole Light together." The Master suggested.
Zhang Sui looked at the few people behind him, and everyone nodded.
When they came to He Lao's courtyard, He Lao and his daughter-in-law changed their previous vigilance and seemed a little hospitable.
After dinner, Zhang Sui looked at He Lao's daughter-in-law standing behind He Lao, staring at He Lao, and said with some curiosity: "Do you have something to say?" β
The imperial lord hurriedly said: "Master, sister-in-law, you have something to say, there are no outsiders here." β
He Lao patted the back of the master's hand and said, "Apprentice, now that the war has burned to Liangcheng, the demons are singing all the way, and Liangcheng is estimated to be broken in the next few days." β
Zhang Sui, the Imperial Master and others were silent one by one.
He Lao said: "A few of you went to the City Lord's Mansion today, right?" My old man can guess the reason for your depression. I don't think you're at fault, you don't have to be like that. If you want to blame it, you can only blame those mediocre people in the court, who enjoy the privileges we don't have, and when the national crisis is at hand, they want to protect themselves. As everyone knows, if the country is gone, they are just lost dogs. This kind of truth, we ordinary people still know, they talk eloquently on weekdays, but at this time they have become fools, which is really ironic. β
He Lao took his daughter-in-law and walked to the side of the master, beckoned the three children to come over, touched their heads and said, "Old man, I have a request, apprentices, young heroes. My old man has no other wishes, my son went to the battlefield, and now his life and death are unknown. No, I've figured it out, nine times out of ten, it's gone. β
As soon as He Lao finished speaking, his daughter-in-law's eyes were red, her head was held high, and her mouth was pursed.
The master said, "Master, I understand, do you want to leave with us?" Yes, my brother has a small world and canβ"
"No, no, no, it's not us, it's Shadow and the three children." He Lao rubbed the heads of the three children, his wrinkled face exuded a doting brilliance, and said softly: "The three children are the descendants of your senior brother, and now that your senior brother is gone, these children still have to live." Children without parents are orphans abandoned by God, although Ying'er wants to stay in the city with the old man, but you still take her away. β
Zhang Sui was surprised: "Old He, then you can go together!" β
"I don't need to, I'm already half a person in the ground, even if the demons don't attack this time, I won't live long. Fallen leaves return to the roots, die, I also have to die in my hometown to rest in peace. He Lao smiled and took out a letter, handed it to his daughter-in-law next to him and said, "Ying'er, my father-in-law can't help you take care of a few children, you have to be strong alone in the future." This is a letter of resignation, left to me the night before Ming'er and the little princess left for the front. said that if the situation changes, you don't have to wait for him in the future, find a good man to marry. β
He Lao's daughter-in-law took the envelope silently, tore it into pieces directly, and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, Ying'er still has children, and will accompany them to old age." β
He Lao was silent for a long time and said, "I didn't mean that. β
"I know my father-in-law didn't mean that, this is my own meaning." He Lao's daughter-in-law took three steps back, pulled the three children to kneel in front of He Lao and kowtowed three times, and then said: "As a daughter-in-law, I can't stay by your side to send you to the end, please forgive my father-in-law." If the children grow up and can take care of themselves, I will go to Naihe Bridge to apologize to my father-in-law and father-in-law. β
The three children looked blankly at their mother.
He Lao looked at his daughter-in-law and sighed heavily.
The Imperial Master and Zhang Sui glanced at each other, and the Imperial Master said to He Lao: "Master don't worry, I will take care of several nephews and sisters-in-law." β
He Lao nodded and said, "To be on the safe side, you will leave from the west early tomorrow morning." In the past few days, the city lord has taken mercy and opened the west gate, letting those fathers and villagers who want to leave flee for their lives. But once the demons attack, the whole city will be under martial law, and it will be impossible to get out at that time. β
The master said: "Okay, I know, master, take care of your old man." β
A few people got off the table and went about their own business.
Zhang Sui and Guan Bei slept in the same room and lay on the bed for a long time, but neither of them could sleep.
After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, Zhang Sui smiled at Guan Bei, got up from the bed, and walked out of the room.
Coming to the courtyard and sitting on a stone bench, Zhang Sui took out the Netherworld Snail Horn, activated the qi in his body, and gathered the qi on the tip of his tongue.
"Ning'er, have you slept?" Zhang Sui whispered.
