The eve of the Demon King's awakening
The square where the weekday training is neatly lined up with people.
plus the men in the back kitchen, the women and children who were cleaning, and the families of the village soldiers, all who could arrive were all there, and they lined up in a row in a neat and orderly manner, and looked at Fan Nanfeng on the martial arts stage.
Fan Nanfeng was wearing a battle suit, just like the outfit that attacked the Silk Road and entered the Xitang City Capital that day, there were several rows of boxes on each side of her, the boxes on one side were full of gold, and the boxes on the other side were full of weapons, Fan Nanfeng stood in the middle, his eyes swept over the team under the stage.
These people were written out by her in the outline in three or two strokes, before the change, she felt that they were paper people, and she didn't pity the deaths and injuries at will, but now she doesn't think so, they have flesh and blood and feelings, live with her in the Dayi Palace, laugh with her and talk to her, share happy events and communicate sorrows, it is the same life as her.
She gave these beings the opportunity to emerge, and now she gave them the right to choose whether to leave or stay and join her in the war.
"Brothers!" She shouted and made her final speech, "I called you here today to tell you that there is a big war coming, the opponent is much stronger than us, they are formally trained troops, wearing impenetrable armor, and the weapons in their hands are numerous and sophisticated, this is undoubtedly a war of great disparity, for you, it is nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg, if you follow me to the battlefield, you must be ready to sacrifice, although I am your master, but I will not force you to die for me!" You have two options,"
She paused and pointed to the gold on the left, "One is to take the gold of dismissal, go down the mountain today to settle down elsewhere, and live a stable life as an ordinary person from now on, and the other is the weapon on the right, if you want to go to the battlefield with me, take the weapon and go to Mr. to sign the certificate of life and death, and record your home address and the names of your relatives in the book, I will ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, in order to repay your love for your life, no matter which one you choose, I will support you, start choosing." ”
The crowd first did not move, as if the choice came suddenly, then whispered, and in the end, the big head bore the brunt, and after taking the stage, he went straight to her right and picked a sharp axe.
Fan Nanfeng exclaimed gratefully: "Liying...."
The big head's eyelids jumped, Liying is his real name, he felt too bookish, so he didn't allow others to call him that, but he didn't care about the situation at this time, he only said: "King, when I was hunted down, it was you who rescued me, and I was able to survive so far, you don't ask about my past, trust me to entrust me with a heavy responsibility, and leave me a place in the village, so that I no longer wander and have a home, I am not an ungrateful person, this life is yours, even if I die in battle, I will not regret it." ”
The big head made a good start, and the next people who made the choice all chose weapons, even the old, weak, women and children, but Fan Nanfeng forcibly unloaded the weapons in their hands, divided them into another group, and told them to wait in the village to welcome the triumphant team.
Qin Wushuang was also about to go to get the sword, but Fan Nanfeng grabbed his wrist and whispered to her: "You are not allowed to go, if I can't come back, you are my last trump card, and it is up to you to avenge me." ”
Qin Wushuang remembered this sentence for many, many years.
The team quickly made a choice, and everyone stood back in place, waiting for Fan Nanfeng to give the order.
"Brothers," Fan Nanfeng raised his arms and shouted, "are you willing to be born and die with me?!" ”
"Yes!"
"Will you do justice and save the innocent from prison?"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to work with me to overthrow power and win the world?"
She heard them respond in unison, "Yes!" Willing! ”
*
Everyone in the main hall looked at each other, Shen Liangyi and Xiao Jing stood in the middle of them, and did not say a word in the face of Emperor Xiao's inquiry.
Emperor Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't wait for Shen Liangyi's answer, so he asked again, "In view of the turbulent situation, General Shen can't participate, so he only parades through the streets in a float, and waits for the general to triumph, and then make a princess wedding gift, are you willing?" ”
Shen Liangyi still did not answer.
Everyone began to whisper, and Xiao Jing stepped forward when he saw this: "Father, although the little general wants to be my concubine, after all, it is a major matter of marriage, so it is better to wait for the general to come back." Moreover, the rebellion has caused panic in the hearts of the people, and they need to be reassured at this moment, and the floats will parade through the streets in seven days, and the Star Hall has calculated that seven days later is a rare auspicious day, which is suitable for appeasing the people. ”
"But the time is in a hurry, from the posting of the notice to the parade of floats, it takes a long time to prepare, and seven days is too short." Qiankun Audiobook.com
"Father," Xiao Jing said anxiously for fear of long nights and dreams, "Such a hurry is also to appease the people, so it is important to take care of the people's emotions, and the cumbersome etiquette of the royal family can be avoided." ”
This is really wonderful, the old ministers who don't know the truth feel that this princess has a heart for the common people, and can simplify the major events of her life for the people of Limin, so they have petitioned to be the princess's lobbyist, and said that Emperor Xiao was moved, so that he wrote an edict immediately.
When it came to the next dynasty, the news that the horses had been decided spread all over the streets and alleys of Anyang City.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Liangyi was trapped in the side hall of the Lanliao Palace, and he didn't say a word since the next court, Xiao Jing understood the truth of Zhang Chi's degree, and did not appear in front of him within seven days, but waited until the morning of the seventh day to send someone to send the gorgeous clothes worn in the street.
Shen Liangyi sat in the hall and rubbed his sword, the palace people came in with a gorgeous dress and stood aside, and the embroidery official who came with him said to him: "Little general, this is the clothes worn in the streets in the afternoon, the princess ordered me to send it over and ask you to try it, if there is something inappropriate, I will change it on the spot." ”
Shen Liangyi's action of wiping the sword did not stop, and he turned a deaf ear to the request for fitting on.
The embroidery officer and the palace people glanced at each other, and the embroidery officer said again: "The float parade is coming, please give the little general a try." ”
The silence after the words fell made the others very embarrassed, and the embroidery official knew Shen Liangyi's temper, so he didn't dare to urge again, gave the palace man a look, and motioned for him to put his clothes on the table.
The palace people trembled and wanted to put his clothes, but the more scared he was, the more unlucky he became, and his feet stumbled into Shen Liangyi's arm, making him reflexively move, and the moment the knife fell in his hand, the wail of the palace people resounded through the Lanliao Palace.
The overturned clothes were stained with blood, the palace people fell to the ground and wailed in pain holding the severed arm on one side, and the frightened maids and embroidered officials ran out of the hall together, Shen Liangyi's face was as usual, wiped the sword and walked straight out of the palace people.
The float was originally scheduled to depart from Guangkun Gate, but the auspicious time had arrived, but the team was still waiting.
The maid Ru Meng was very anxious, and said to Xiao Jing, who was dressed ceremoniously but not nervous at all in the car: "Princess, it's all this time, the horse hasn't come yet, why don't you send someone to urge it?" ”
"Don't worry," Xiao Jing was full of confidence, "he will come." ”
The footsteps followed her words from far to near, Shen Liangyi finally appeared in front of the city gate, still dressed in a wartime uniform, with a sword hanging on his waist, and after getting into the car with everyone's surprised eyes, Xiao Jing gave an order, and the team set off towards the market.
"I thought you weren't coming."
Shen Liangyi snorted coldly: "I did as you said, you had better keep your promise." ”
"Of course~" Xiao Jing smiled, "I won't touch the Fan family, as long as you are by my side, they are safe." ”
Shen Liangyi held the hilt of the sword in his hand, holding back the displeasure in his heart, the secret plan has made progress, and if he endures it for another half a month at most, this passive situation will be reversed.
Thinking of this, his anger and resentment were not as heavy as before, and he closed his eyes and did not answer Xiao Jing's words, leaving the cheers of the people in the market behind, and began to concentrate on recalling the past.
Memory is a good thing, those aggrieved and difficult times, Shen Liangyi is supported by good memories with Fan Nanfeng.
But this time it was interrupted, Xiao Jing suddenly climbed up, and touched his face with his hand in front of everyone's eyes.
Shen Liangyi dodged instantly, clamped Xiao Jing's wrist with one hand, and asked viciously, "What are you doing!" Don't get an inch...."
His words immediately stopped, and Xiao Jing faced him, with the crested hairpin pinned to his delicate hair.
The crested hairpin of his mother, which belonged to Fan Nanfeng, became the last straw that crushed him.
The phoenix hairpin was finally held in his hand, and he wondered, what did the safety of those people have to do with him.....
