"And how did you get out?"

"I can't remember." The old man shook his head: "At that time, there was chaos, I only remember that I fell in the chaos army, surrounded by dead bodies. There are our people, but more often than not, the enemy. My face, my hands, everywhere was slimy, all I could smell was blood, all I could hear was the sound of swords clashing.

I thought I was going to die quietly like the people lying on the ground. But just as I was about to close my eyes and wait for death, a pair of hands pulled me up. It was the general, and it was the general who took me out of the fight from the enemy.

I don't know how the general did it, maybe we were lucky. During the fight, we retreated to the already lit granary, and by the light of the fire, we finally saved our lives. ”

"What about the general?"

"The general was also seriously wounded, and one of his arms was almost cut off by the enemy. In the end, we were able to survive, in addition to the ability of the military doctor, but also by our own willpower. After the fight, my ears were buzzing for a while, and my nose was gone. It seems that there is no smell of anything other than blood.

The general is better than me, but his wounded arm can't be restored to before. Fortunately, the crisis at the border has finally been lifted. The enemy was in a difficult situation because of the lack of food and grass, and the imperial court finally believed what we said before, and sent more defenders over. ”

"And what about the marshal? Whether he fulfilled his own promises. ”

"He went to the court and removed the word [deputy] from the general."

"What about marriage?"

"The marshal seems to have deliberately forgotten about it. Actually, we all know it in our hearts. Marshal, he did not forget, but disliked the general's low background. Even if he is already a serious general, but he has an arm injury, and it is almost impossible for him to make contributions in the future. The marshal, who is the marshal surnamed Li, naturally wants to marry his daughter to a more suitable family and plan a better future for himself. ”

"What about the general? Have you ever seen it so thoroughly? ”

"The general is smarter than me, how can he not know the mind of the marshal. It's just that what we didn't expect was that the marshal's daughter was in the army at the time, and after learning about the marriage contract, not only did she not hide from the general, but took advantage of the night to go to the general's camp. ”

"It's kind of interesting."

"As the old saying goes, a tiger father has no dog girl, and in my opinion, the young lady is a little more generous than the marshal. She went to the camp's tent to see what kind of man her father had chosen for her. I want to see what kind of man is the man who dared to sneak into the enemy's tent with 800 dead soldiers, burn the enemy's grain and grass, and solve the border crisis. As a result, unexpectedly, the young lady fell in love with the general at a glance, and took the initiative to beg her father, that is, the marshal, to agree to this family business. ”

"That's a good thing, if I were your marshal, I'd be fine."

"It's a pity that you're not our marshal. After our marshal learned of this, not only did he not fulfill Miss Cheng and the general, but he was furious, and even ordered someone to send the young lady back to Chang'an. ”

"Judging from your description, this eldest lady of the Marshal's Mansion does not seem to be the kind of person who is resigned to it. She should, didn't leave, right? ”

"Madame is right, Mademoiselle did not leave. She used a trick to confuse the soldiers who sent her back to Chang'an, and then disguised herself and secretly returned to the camp, and made a private appointment with the general, and under the witness of the border pass Mingyue, they promised each other for life. ”

"I like the character of this young lady." Xing Ruyi couldn't help but say: "It's a pity, such a straightforward young lady has made a private agreement with your general for life, and the next thing she will face will definitely be a tragedy." ”

"Not bad. The news of the young lady's return to the camp without permission finally reached the ears of the marshal. The marshal was so angry that he not only imprisoned the young lady, but also ordered someone to blame the general. In the end, the young lady forced her to die, and the marshal had no choice but to spare the general's life. ”

"Now that things have come to this point, it's time for your marshal to compromise, right?"

"Yes. Supposedly, bad things should become good things. The old man narrowed his eyes: "At that time, because the military situation at the border has been resolved, the enemy country has the intention of reconciliation. Therefore, the marshal asked the general to go to the peace talks as our representative. As a personal guard, I naturally went with the general. The peace talks went smoothly, but after the banquet was over, I noticed that there was something unusual about the general. ”

"Didn't those people do anything at the banquet?"

"The general has been poisoned, an extremely dangerous chronic poison. Fortunately, during the years I studied with the master, I also learned some detoxification methods. After returning to the camp, I followed the method given to me by the previous master to help the general detoxify. Although it could not be eliminated, it also saved the general's life. ”

"Your general's fate is really twisted and turned. But I've listened to it for a long time, and none of this seems to have anything to do with Yingzi's mother, that is, Aunt Ying. ”

"Originally, there weren't." The old man looked up at the dark roof: "After the peace talks, the marshal seemed to be in a good mood, and even offered to help the general get married. We, the guards, were very happy for the general, thinking that he had finally been able to see the moon. Who would have thought that on the night of the candles in the cave room, the general was murdered again. ”

"Murder?"

After drinking a glass of wine, the general gently removed the red hijab on the young lady's head, but was horrified to find that it was not the young lady sitting there, but the maid Aunt Yinggu next to the young lady.

"Maid to marry? Well, it seems to be a pretty common plot. However, this kind of plot usually happens when the young lady is unwilling. ”

The general was immediately furious, and he forced Aunt Ying to ask where the young lady had gone. Aunt Ying trembled and didn't want to say anything. The general had no choice but to turn around and want to go to the marshal to ask for clarification. Who would have thought that as soon as he walked out of the big tent, he fell to the ground. At this time, Aunt Ying chased after her. She told the general that the young lady had been secretly sent back to Chang'an by the marshal, and that she had been accepted by the marshal as a righteous daughter. Therefore, the marshal did not violate the original promise. ”

"What a good one to be a righteous daughter. I have to say that you marshal is really cunning. ”

"If things come to this, I won't complain about Aunt Ying. After all, she is just a maid, and she can't make decisions about marriage. But she shouldn't, she shouldn't, in order to be the general's wife, she secretly gave the general a qinggu. ”

"Qing Gu?"

"That's right, it's Qing Gu, a poison from the Western Regions. When Aunt Ying knew that the marshal was going to marry her to the general, although she was a little embarrassed, she was still happy in her heart. From a little maid to a general's wife, this is what many border women dream of. People have selfish motives. She has, and we don't blame her. But she shouldn't have planted this kind of Qing Gu for the general when she knew that the residual poison in the general's body had not been resolved. ”

"The general was poisoned?"

The old man shook his head: "If she had poisoned him at that time, it would have been a relief." This qing Gu is divided into male and female. In order to get the general's heart, Ying Gu swallowed the female Gu into her body, and planted the male Gu into the general's body when she drank a glass of wine. The male and female are attracted to each other, and even if the general is extremely disgusted with Aunt Ying, he has to be with her from time to time.

Since then, the general has been completely abolished. On the one hand, he had to endure the torture of Qing Gu because he missed Miss. On the other hand, it was also because of Qing Gu that he had to face Aunt Ying all day long. Even, as long as he left Ying Gu for ten steps, he would be gnawed by Qing Gu.

The general, in order to get rid of this torture, drank heavily every day, and even did not hesitate to cut himself with a sword and scars. ”

"That tomb in the grove outside the city is the General's, isn't it? is a general, why is there not even a life on the tombstone. Also, how exactly did he die, General? Could it be that he was eaten by this Qing Gu and tortured to death? ”

"The general committed suicide." The old man walked back to the fire: "At that time, although the general was tortured day by day, he always endured it and persevered. Although he didn't say it explicitly, we all know that he was waiting for Miss. Three years passed, and the days passed. One day, the general and Aunt Ying had another dispute, and Aunt Ying told the general that in fact, the young lady was long gone.

It turned out that three years ago, the general was ordered to go to the peace talks. The young lady was not at ease, so she asked Aunt Ying to follow to find out the news. The general's poisoning was naturally known to Aunt Ying. She hurried to tell the young lady, but was stopped by the marshal's men. The marshal asked her to spread the false news, saying that the general had been poisoned and had died, so as to make the young lady die.

The marshal also promised Aunt Ying that as long as she deceived the young lady, she would let her replace the young lady and marry the general.

Aunt Ying naturally didn't dare to disobey the general, and she was also moved by the marshal's proposal, so she followed the general's words. Who would have thought that the young lady was also a fierce woman, and after returning to Chang'an, she ended up depressed because she missed the general. Upon learning the truth, the general immediately collapsed, and then became poisonous. In order to get rid of Qing Gu's control, the general used his sword to take Gu by his heart, and died. ”

Xing Ruyi was stunned for a moment, she had just thought of many ways to die a general, but she never expected that it would be so tragic.

"After the general died, I cremated his body and brought it back here. This is the general's hometown, and I think he should be willing to stay here, stay in his homeland. But I never expected that Aunt Ying would come with her, and she would also claim to be the general's widow. ”

"Then what does all this have to do with Yingzi? She is the general's daughter, and you let her marry the general's tombstone, isn't this against your humanity? ”

"Yingzi is not the general's daughter."

"Isn't it?"

"It's not! The general hated her, how could he let her give birth to her own child. Yingzi was born to another man after Aunt Ying arrived here. But she is shameless, even if she has a child with another man, she actually counts this child on the general's head, and even uses this as an excuse to ask me for the general's relics before his death. said that it was a relic, but it was just a covetousness of the general's wealth left during his lifetime. ”
