My sister was in their hands. When Bai Coral saw Yun Huan's order, he was only indignant in his heart: Damn Yang Yizhao! It's in vain that my sister likes you so much, and you actually use her as a threat!

Although she was indignant, her face did not change, and she followed Yun Huan to the inner room of the plum garden.

As soon as he closed the door of the inner room, Bai Coral suddenly pulled out a steel thorn, leaned it behind Yun Huan, and said coldly: "Who are you and what is your purpose?" ”

Yun Huan didn't answer directly, just smiled: "People say that the white coral female official is smart and rigorous, and when I saw it today, she really lived up to her reputation." With just a few hints, you can find it, and it's a talent. It's a pity that the gold is buried in the mound, and the pearl is covered with dust and cannot shine. ”

Bai Coral said lightly: "It's useless for you to provoke me. Tell me, where are you hiding my sister? If you dare to touch her finger, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will kill you and bury you. ”

Although Yun Huan couldn't see the expression on her face, he couldn't hide his anxiety under her tone, and now he was even more confident, and said with an evil smile: "She's fine." But if you see you like this, I guess she won't be good. ”

Bai Coral stared at Yun Huan: "How do you say this?" ”

"Everyone thinks that you are above 10,000 people in Yuezhou City, but they don't know that you are just a butterfly with broken wings, and you are not free every day in this dark crack. If Shanpu learns the truth, how can she be better? ”

Bai Sango's heart ached, and his hand worked harder, and the blade pressed straight into Yunhuan's flesh and blood.

Yun Huan was unguarded, but just smiled: "If you shoot so hard, you are not afraid that we will tear up the ticket."

The spikes of the white coral cut a bloody mark on Yun Huan's neck. I only heard her say coldly: "Although I don't know your identity, since I can appear here with Yang Yizhao, it proves that you are very important." As long as I hold you, I will naturally be able to make a deal with Yang Yizhao in exchange for Shanpu. ”

Yun Huan nodded and smiled: "It's the truth." Yang Yizhao has always been kind. If you want to replace me, I should have taken it down as early as when Yan Jin met Shanpu, so I wouldn't have to be subject to you today. ”

Bai Coral sneered: "Maybe he was kind to my sister in the past, or maybe he wasn't merciful this time." If it weren't for the hypocrisy and clever words, how could you have deceived Shanpu into handing over this jade pendant to you? ”

Although Yun Huan is in the hands of the enemy, his expression is still clear: "You are subject to Ren Qingmei, and you have been constantly suppressing Yang Yizhao. If you're in a different camp, it's okay for you to be hostile to it. But if he really hates you and wants to wait for an opportunity to take revenge, he can abandon your sister and torture your emotions. Or after getting Ling Mei's confession, directly expose your identity as a Yanjin spy. Either way, the cost is much smaller than exchanging hostages. They are all people who survive in the cracks, can't they have a little more empathy? ”

"Empathy? You don't understand how we feel at all! White Coral said angrily.

Yun Huan sighed and said slowly: "I am also a stranger, even if others don't understand, I, Yun Huan, feel the same way. Like you, I was born in troubled times, and I couldn't help it. ”

"You only know the dispute between Yanjin and Zhaoyin, but you don't know the size of the world, and there are conquests everywhere. The strong swallow up the weak, and the weak are unwilling, so they wait for the opportunity to kill the strong again. At the time of my birth, the Topatary Department had not yet been unified. Each banner is in charge of its own power, and all day long it encloses the land and runs the horses, and forcibly occupies the fertile land. At that time, might was the only power. ”

"They don't have to work, they rely on a few personal soldiers to fight back and forth, and every village they go to kill and rob, occupy the serf pastures, and only enjoy their own happiness. At harvest time, they can always stock up on rice and noodles in baskets and buy cattle and sheep in groups. ”

"You were raised by your parents, and you still received the grace of your parents. Soon after I was born, my whole family was plundered by the soldiers of the banner master, and it became a birthday gift to congratulate the banner master. On the night of the birthday banquet, my father was bitten off by the tiger and leopard of the flag master. As for my mom...... The death was even more inhumane. ”

"For as long as I can remember, I have been taken by my brother and enslaved under the lord of the banner. At that time, my brother was only seven or eight years old, and I was only two or three years old, both skinny children, in addition to working hard, they had to be carried by the flag owner every day for jokes. Every time we don't do well, the master's whip doesn't know how old we are, and we are beaten the same. And a powerless little man like my brother has sold all his strength for a living, not to mention a reward, and giving you a blanket is a gift. The soldiers watched over us serfs day and night, and they couldn't escape if they wanted to, and dozens of people could only nest on one side of the broken seats, surviving for a long time. Abscesses in summer, cold sores in winter, death of death, death of death. The days are like this, day by day, without hope. ”

"Year after year, my brother has become ill from hard work, but the banner master not only ignores us, but also forces my brother to drag his sick body to work, just wanting to squeeze his last bit of strength. Finally, one day when I was four years old, my brother fell ill and lay in bed almost vomiting blood and fainting. I was unwilling, so I took advantage of the darkness to go to the backyard of the flag master's house to steal chickens, and wanted to exchange a few dollars to buy medicine for my brother to cure his illness. Unexpectedly, there were a lot of wolf dogs in the backyard of the old man's house, and as soon as I entered the hospital, I was thrown to the ground by a group of wolf dogs. I still shudder when I think about how ferocious those wolfdogs were. ”

"I was besieged by wolfdogs, and I thought I was going to die. My brother suddenly appeared and broke up the wolfdog with an iron rod. He struggled to lift me out of the hospital walls, but he was too weak to be dragged by a wolfdog and unable to escape. ”

"I was bitten on the leg by a wolfdog and couldn't climb into the courtyard wall, only to hear the barking of dogs in the courtyard, mixed with my brother's screaming. But I couldn't do anything, so I could only lie silently on the root of the courtyard wall and weep. ”

"My brother was arrested by the master and whipped all night, and he was tied up in front of the master's house and exposed to the public. Everyone in the tribe knew that the old man was arrogant and domineering, and no one was willing to stand up for my brother, but gathered around to watch and insult him, and threw stones at him to smash him. According to the rules of the tribe, thieves who say that they steal things will be expelled from the ministry immediately, and from then on they will wander the grasslands, and life and death will depend on the sky. It's obviously my fault, how can I let my brother be punished. I immediately rushed up to protect my brother and turned my back to the people and shouted - I did it, don't smash my brother. At this time, my brother suddenly shouted - it was Yun Huan who stole it, and Yun Huan stole it. ”

Hearing this, Bai Sango's face suddenly changed: "Your brother ...... him"

Yun Huan smiled bitterly: "You're right. We Tuotar people worship the heroes of the battle the most, and despise the villains who dare not bear the responsibility. Reputation is sometimes more important to the Tartars than their lives. Once a Tuotar loses his reputation, he will never be able to gain a foothold in Tuotar again. My brother did this to destroy his reputation, all for my sake. He knew that as long as I didn't make a big mistake, the people in the tribe would take pity on me for my young age, and they would always leave me a bite to eat. As soon as they heard that my brother was shirking the blame, they immediately despised him even more, and immediately drove him out of the tribe, and ordered him not to return for the rest of his life. My brother dragged his last breath out of the tribe and wandered the grasslands, never heard from again for several years. ”

He sighed, looked sideways at the white coral, and said in a deep voice: "The blood relationship is deep, and it is better than the whole world. Your affection for Shanpu is as deep as my brother is for me, I only wish her peace and happiness, and you can fulfill your wishes. But have you ever thought the same thing about us brothers and sisters? When we see you suffering, our hearts ache and we want to share it for you. You have suffered so much for Shanpu, and she is grateful in her heart. But if you have been controlled by others and lived a humble life, do you think she will be truly happy? ”

When Bai Coral heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then he said: "Born in troubled times, I have a weak heart. That's how it should be, there's nothing I can do. ”

Yun Huan said in a deep voice: "As you said, now is the world where the powerful are in power, the power is overturned, and the nation is in turmoil. In this world, how many displaced children are adopted by the eunuchs every day, and they are slaves and maids all their lives? How many people have become playthings like cockfighting lackeys, killing each other for the pleasure of the powerful? How many people, like us, are pressed by whips and sharp knives to kneel in front of the old men, only begging the old men to take a bite of food? He paused and asked solemnly, "You are a smart person, and you can see clearly." I heard Shanpu say that you were ambitious and wanted to do something to find a home for the orphans in this war. But what are you doing now? Do you have to be a spy between Yan Jin and Zhaoyin all your life, running for these powerful people? You and Shanpu have already suffered from the destruction of their families, why do you want to help the abuse and add new hatred to the world? ”

Feeling that the steel thorns of the white coral were no longer as fierce as they were just now, Yun Huan reached out to push the steel thorns away despite the sharpness of the blade, turned his head to stare at the white coral, and said in a deep voice: "With your talents, you could have made great achievements. But a good bird chooses a tree to perch on, even if you are in the position of a female official of the Heavenly King, what if you are in charge of half of Yuezhou City? Aren't you just at the mercy of the mad dogs vying for power and profit? Do you think they will share your ideals and ambitions? What Zhaoyin, what Yanjin, when they waged war for wealth and territory, did they consider the feelings of our people? Will they care about the soldiers and generals who die in this war? You rely on these executioners to mediate and stop the war, but what is the result? It's only going to be a rabbit and a dead dog! ”

He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Do you know that when we rescued Shanpu from Gao Lan, she was almost ...... Damn it! His eyes were red, and he spat out a dirty word, but he didn't say any more.

But Bai Sango, who had already understood Yun Huan's true intentions, fought a vicious cold war. A deep sorrow turned into a cloud of gloom that enveloped her heart, and she hung her arms, bit her lip, and fell silent.

Yun Huan saw that she was depressed, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart: "As long as there is still fighting, as long as there are borders, as long as there are these shameless desires and struggles, whether you are Shanpu, or the children of this world, you will not be able to achieve true happiness and freedom." You ask yourself, you can't even protect yourself, what else are you talking about protecting Shanpu and protecting children like you? ”

White Coral lowered her head, and a tear slowly fell from her face.

"Do you want to hear Shanpu's truth?" Yun Huan stretched out his hands and firmly pressed Bai Sango's shoulders, staring into her teary eyes. From his eyes, there was a flash of softness and strength, "She said—my sister is a good person. She will do anything for me. But I also want to tell her that I can do anything for her. Now that I'm no longer in control, I want her to live her life and keep her head up and do what she wants to do. I am willing to accompany her to eliminate the disasters in this world and let people like us live a good life. ”

White Coral raised her head sharply and burst into tears: "She...... Did she really say that? ”

Yun Huan smiled: "What do you say? He walked to the window, pushed open a crack in the window, and smiled back: "Maybe I, Yunhuan, are not in danger now, and even if I talk about it now, I don't dare to open the window to see the moonlight outside." But I believe that there will always be a group of people like us in the world who will continue to struggle in order to let themselves, their families, and all people like them in the world be free to bathe in the moonlight. I am willing to take them with me to ask for the lives of the people, to fight desperately, to build a new world! Build a world where there are no more hierarchies, no more borders, no more brutality and displacement! ”

He stretched out his hand to Bai Coral and said with a smile: "Sango, are you willing to fight, create, and fight with me Yunhuan?" ”

Although the window was only open a crack, a ray of bright moonlight had already passed through the narrow gap and shone on Yun Huan's body. At this moment, in Bai Sango's eyes, Yun Huan's whole body was exuding divine light, which made her heart break.

She stared at him, the corners of her mouth quivering slightly. Finally, he knelt down on one knee and bowed his head respectfully, "I do." ”

Yun Huan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her up, and suggested in a deep voice: "It's not early, you go back." Yuezhou City has never been a safe place, and when the limelight passes, Yang Yizhao and I will arrange for you to see Shanpu. At that time, when your sisters were reunited, what would you say, and we would say it together that day, okay? ”

Bai Sango's heart warmed, and he smiled: "Okay." If you need to get in touch, you can ask the tea merchant Lin in the west of the city to deliver the news. She pushed open the door and walked out, halfway there, then turned and smiled, "May you be reunited with your brother soon." ”

Yun Huan touched his nose and grinned: "Don't worry, it's already reunited." He's now the leader of the Tuotar tribe, and he's a bittersweet one, right? ”

White Coral smiled and walked away.

Yun Huan stared at her and left, and breathed a sigh of relief. He walked out slowly and slapped Yang Yizhao on the back who was guarding the door: "You guy is usually too soft, but his idea is not bad." Thanks to you, after this emotional offensive, I have one more capable general. Nowadays, there are a lot of talents, but we have to think carefully about how to integrate them. ”

"I'm not for Tuotar, I like you to have great ambitions. If it is not sincere, how can it be so emotional based on words alone? Yang Yizhao covered his back and grinned with bared teeth.

Yun Huan laughed: "So, I deserve to be a lobbyist for you for free?" ”

Yang Yizhao stretched out his right arm to wrap his arms around Yun Huan's neck, and raised his head and smiled: "Mrs. Yang, life must be happy, don't worry about you and me." ”

Yun Huan slammed a chestnut on Yang Yizhao's head: "No! Invite me to drink! Must drink good wine! The two hooked their shoulders and walked farther and farther away in the night.
