Chapter 496: Witnesses
Take revenge. This is a very ordinary statement. The Mu brothers in the north all thought so.
The few surviving Jinling guards who were rescued told them that it was the Rongdi who attacked the escort team. They didn't know how the Rongdi people had infiltrated the vicinity of Jueyu Mountain through the blockade of the border pass, but this did not prevent the Mu brothers from holding grudges.
But after listening to the seriously injured Mu Lingyi's declaration of revenge, Mu Tieyi's face suddenly became a little strange somehow. He dodged Mu Lingyi's eyes and replied dryly, "Lingyi, you...... You're hurt, and you're going to have to take care of it for a while. Leave the matter of vengeance to us. The most important thing for you right now is to take care of your body. ”
"I want to avenge the brocade." Mu Lingyi, who has had some tendons since he was a child, stubbornly announced again: "I must avenge my brother!" ”
"It's our fault." Mu Tieyi lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Ling Yi, I'm sorry. It's the brother's fault. We patrol the border every day, and we still give the Rongdi people the opportunity to cross the border and infiltrate our Great Zhou. I'm sorry Ling Yi, it's our fault, because of our mistakes, that's why we let you ...... with Jinyi"
"It's not!" Mu Lingyi directly interrupted Mu Tieyi's words: "No! It's none of your business. It's not your fault! Those people are not Rongdi people. ”
"Ling Yi?" Mu Tieyi raised his head suddenly, with a little surprise on his face: "You...... You don't have to ......."
"Not the Rongdi." Mu Lingyi gritted his teeth and emphasized again: "Although they are all wearing the clothes of the Rongdi people. These people all use swords, are very flexible, have high martial arts, and are organized. They avoided talking in front of us, but their kung fu skills were exhausted, and they were not Rongdi people, but like Jianghu people. ”
"Like?" Mu Tieyi frowned: "Ling Yi, just like?" ”
"I'm sure." Mu Lingyi pulled the corners of his mouth, seemingly smiling, but in fact, his expression was extremely hideous: "Although they deliberately avoided talking in front of us, there were always omissions. They thought I was dead, so someone spoke up in front of me. Although it was only three words, it still showed clues. ”
"What did he say?" Mu Tieyi asked with a pale face.
"Dead?" Mu Lingyi replied: "Just these three words, the voice is very low, but I heard it." Da Zhou official dialect, accent near Gyeonggi. The Rongdi people don't talk like that. ”
"Indeed." Mu Tieyi nodded: "If the Rong Di people cross the border to grab food, they won't care so much about whether you are dead or not." If the Rongdi did it, their purpose was to rob, not to kill. And this time...... The officers who escorted were all killed, and the rest of the living ones were all ordinary armor soldiers, except for you, who picked up a life. In this way, it seems that the mouth is extinguished, and the ordinary armor soldiers who survived also seem to be witnesses left behind deliberately. ”
"But who the hell is it for?" Mu Lingyi looked at the simple roof in a daze: "General Zhenguo? Or maybe it's General Wen himself? Could it be that Jinyi and I are terrible? ”
"It's not clear at the moment." Mu Tieyi pondered for a moment before replying, "But no matter who did it or what the purpose is, one thing can be determined. Those people were wearing the clothes of the Rongdi people, and they must have blamed the northern defenders. The defense of the northern border is unfavorable, so that the Rongdi people will have a chance to cross the border and plunder. ”
"Looting?" Mu Lingyi turned his head, his face pale: "Those supplies are gone?" ”
"It's all gone." Mu Tieyi was silent for a moment before replying: "I have already sent someone to chase after you, and it happened to be raining heavily when you had an accident, so ......"
"Heh......" A sneer appeared on the corner of Mu Lingyi's lips, interrupting Mu Tieyi's words: "Second brother, you haven't doubted it?" After all, the blades are strictly controlled in the entire northern territory, if it is really the Rongdi people, how can they smuggle such a large number of ordnance across the border without alarming the defenders of the northern border of the Great Zhou. ”
"I've thought about it." Mu Tieyi replied: "Although the Rong Di people are not good at smelting, the weapons of the Great Zhou Dynasty are extremely important strategic materials for them. But it is true that as you said, if you want to loot weapons from the Great Zhou and transport them out of the country, it is indeed much more difficult than food. And at the moment of the natural disaster in Rongdi, food is obviously more important to them. So we started ...... Forget it, there's no point in talking about it right now. Anyway, it wasn't made by the Rongdi people. ”
"yes!" Mu Lingyi smiled miserably: "Otherwise, the defenders of the northern border will not be able to pick it up no matter what." But I'd rather live in brocade...... 'D rather...... I will avenge him. Second brother, when will I get better? ”
"Ling Yi," Mu Tieyi swallowed his saliva, and seemed a little nervous: "I already know what's going on now, don't worry, I'll take a letter to Yanmen Pass today, and my father will definitely send a letter to the emperor immediately, and ask the emperor to check to the end." You don't have to worry about anything, we will definitely be able to avenge Jinyi, you take care of your injuries first, don't think about anything else. ”
"Second brother," Mu Lingyi turned his head to look at Mu Tieyi's eyes, and stubbornly repeated his question: "When will I get better." ”
"By the way," Mu Tieyi replied with a quick answer, "you don't know where this is." This is Heng'an Prefecture, the southernmost state capital in the entire northern border. Right now, we are in the Heng'an camp, but I can't stay here for a long time, I will be relieved when you wake up, and I have to hurry back to Youzhou, only the eldest brother is in Youzhou at the moment, and the defense pressure is too great. But it doesn't matter, Tsing Yi will arrive in these two days, and then he will take care of you. You ......"
"Second brother." Mu Lingyi took a deep breath and asked very calmly, "What's wrong with me?" Just tell the truth, you don't need to be like that. ”
"I didn't ...... Not much. Mu Tieyi twisted his head to the side and replied in a low voice, "It's okay, really." It is...... The doctor said, your leg ......."
"Got it." Mu Lingyi quickly interrupted Mu Tieyi's words: "I was hit by a falling rock. It's normal that the leg can't be saved. ”
"Also...... Not necessarily. Mu Tieyi didn't dare to look at Mu Lingyi's face at all: "The level of doctors in the north is too poor, I have already written back to Beijing, let's invite a good doctor from Beijing to come over and treat you." Don't think about it, leave everything to the second brother, and you will take care of it. ”
"Second brother." Mu Lingyi was silent for a moment before he spoke, "I'm sorry. ”
"What?" Mu Tieyi finally turned his head and looked at his younger brother's face in surprise: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Who are you sorry for? It's obviously ......"
"I'm sorry!" Mu Lingyi repeated his words: "If I can't stand up again, I won't be able to go to the battlefield again, and I won't be able to fight side by side with you." I'm sorry. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mu Tieyi's tears flowed out again, and he cried out unabashedly, for Mu Lingyi, who may be crippled forever, and for Mu Jinyi, who was far away: "You are really ...... What an apology! What's wrong with you! What's wrong......"
