It is said that Yizhi followed Wei Ming Shouquan back to Jinming Village, but found that this person harbored evil intentions, and decided to tell the truth after weighing, but he was beaten by Wei Ming Shouquan, and learned that his father was burdened by himself, and he was in a difficult situation in the capital, and he lost half of his soul, and he was stunned all day long, and he had no idea.

There are many familiar characters in the Xixia Toucheng Army who came to identify Yizhi - there are even a few detectives who went undercover with Yuan Hao in the Great Song Dynasty, and they tell the details of Yizhi's intimate relationship with Yuan Hao. As more and more people presented evidence, Li Shibing gradually dispelled his doubts, so he shackled Yizhi's gloves, threw him into prison, and reported to Yanzhou to wait for Fan Yong's fate.

Yizhi was in the dungeon with rats and ants, and she unconsciously calmed down, she thought, why did the rumors of her running away with Yuan Hao in the capital, could it be that someone in the Song court colluded with Western Xia? Fan Daguan used the method of razing and razing, placed the surrendered army in the stockade, and practiced with the rest of the Qiang soldiers. According to her, more than half of the Qiang soldiers stationed in Jinmingzhai today are from Western Xia. Yuan Hao acted arbitrarily and hegemonically, and Wei Ming Shouquan could endure humiliation and burdens, waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge, and he didn't know who else was the same.

She suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought that there must be a group of people who are secretly killing, covering their edge, and waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman. I have to let Yuan Hao know the news, and I have to tell my father the news!

She began to beg for help, begging to see Li Shibing, but the person who guarded her was also from Western Xia, and he showed an incomprehensible smile, but he turned a deaf ear. There was no shortage of pleading people in the prison, and the rest of the soldiers just guarded with their chests held up, and did not take her to heart.

Memories felt deeply powerless, and she didn't know what else she could do.

Another day, Wei Ming Shouquan came to visit Yizhi, and he smiled at Yizhi: "Your matter is getting bigger and bigger, and the officials of Yanzhou Zhizhou Fan dare not act rashly, and report the matter to the imperial court in detail, and the news has spread back, causing an uproar." I heard that some people defended him that you had an affair with the Western Xia detective and ran away with him, and it had nothing to do with him. It's really interesting for you Zhongzhou people to talk. In order to prove his innocence, he wanted to go to the front line in person, and if the matter was true, he would personally strangle the rebel girl. ”

After hearing this, he was just stunned.

Wei Ming Shouquan said: "You are all self-inflicted, if you don't betray me, I will also say good things for you, thoughtful." Let you go back to Beijing smoothly. ”

"You are in the same lineage as Wei Mingyuanhao, he has done something wrong, you should advise him to ......" After saying more, she began to feel that she was stupid and dull, and she was vulnerable in the troubled times.

Wei Ming Shouquan said: "You reported me for him?" ”

Remembering moved in his heart and denied, "No. ”

Wai Ming Shouquan sneered and turned to leave.

I don't know how many days later, Memories were hungry and cold, and the black rat crawled in front of her eyes, and she lost the strength to scream. When I was drowsy at night, I suddenly heard the sound of swords and halberds fighting, and I opened my eyes unconsciously, and the fire outside the fence was soaring, reflecting the damp and gloomy dungeon.

She saw Yuan Hao cut the iron chains with a big knife, opened the prison door and came in, and the intractable mysteries were solved one by one.

When Yi Zhijiao timidly got up, he had already walked up, squatted down to look at her, and said, "I thought you would be better off when you returned home, but I didn't expect it to be like this." "He wants to break the shackles on his hand again.

Yizhi withdrew her hands, she was already out of breath at this one action, she sat back and asked, "Why are there rumors of you and me running adulterously in the capital?" Isn't it you, is it you who hurt my father......"

Yuan Hao said: "Why do I want to hurt your father, in order to make you hate me? He smiled and shook his head, unchaining her.

Yizhi opened his hands, lay down on the straw mat and gasped for a long time, and asked, "Then why ......?"

Yuan Hao said: "I said, there are too many pickled things you don't know, the struggle for power is like this, your father is in a high position, and some people are afraid that he will overshadow his edge, design and frame, and secretly manipulate him." ”

Remembering only felt like a thousand arrows in her heart, she didn't feel ashamed and ashamed, hated and painful, the five flavors were indescribable, she sobbed, out of her mind for a long time, suddenly her eyes were certain, and she struggled forward - she wanted to grab Yuan Hao's big knife.

Yuan Hao took her into his arms and said with a smile: "What are you doing, do you want to kill yourself?" ”

Remembering shed two lines of tears, mourned, shook his head and said, "I can't let my father be disgraced." ”

Yuan Hao said: "If you die, won't you be even more by that ** person?" You are devoted to the Song Dynasty, and no one knows about the feat of lying on the salary and tasting the courage, leaving gossip all over the ground, but you want your father to bear it alone? What's more, you have hidden the manuscript privately, worked hard all night to study the party script, tried your best to explore the military deployment of Western Xia, as well as the map of Xingqing Mansion, you should have drawn half of it, I didn't know that you still have the ability to remember. What a pity it would be if you died. ”

Yizhi was shocked, she looked at Yuan Hao with both eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Why are you ...... You know? ”

Yuan Hao smiled: "I go to your tent to see you every night, but you don't know." He picked Yizhi up and led her out, only to see the corpses on the road, and the sound of fighting in both ears.

Yizhi was suspicious for a long time, and said: "You are deliberate, whether you lose the battle, pretend to be disheartened, or surrender." ”

Yuan Hao smiled and led the way in front and said: "It's true to defeat the battle, Di Qing and Li Shibing do have the ability, but those who can be high are crazy, and then they are touted and touted at will, he will be like flowers and flowers, and his eyes will be blinded by glitz." Border defense practice, the placement of Cheng soldiers on the spot. There was infighting in the Song court, and the old Wenchen was on the defensive, unwilling to start a war easily, so I had the opportunity to do this and do what should be done with the outside. ”

Yizhi asked again: "What about the famous Shouquan?" ”

Yuan Hao said: "Did he tell you that I have tested him many times, and he has passed the test, but this time, he failed to calm down, if he has judged calmly, he will never be easily exposed." ”

The two walked across the two walls of the sea of corpses, their faces reflecting the distant firelight.

Yuan Hao said again: "You can hand over the map of Xingqing Mansion and tell Li Shibing everything you know, and you will have a turnaround." Why don't you pay it, I guess, you see that the current situation of the war is not in my favor, and you think that I am bent on surrendering. If you hand over the map, I'm afraid that Song Ting will have more confidence and kill me completely, right? ”

Yizhi frowned and said, "You're so tired of living." ”

He sneered and said, "It is because the world is so cold and cruel that we need friends, family and lovers. However, if friends, family, and lovers also become worldly...... The only way to do this is to be kind to yourself. ”

Yizhi asked, "Have you never had someone around you who can be trusted?" ”

Yuan Hao was silent for a long time, looked back at Yizhi, and said, "Yes, Sunur", paused, and said: "There are still you now." He took the memory up the stairs to the lookout, supported the railing, and looked down at the stockade. The firelight reflected half of the blue sky, and the sound of burning and plundering came and went.

He said: "In the Song Kingdom, Wei Ming Jili hurt you, and when I saved you, you kept shouting Li Ping to save me. That day in the barracks, Wei Mingjili hurt you again, and when I carried you back to the big tent, you kept shouting Li Ping to save me. It can be seen that you have always had me in your heart......"

After a while, he sighed again: "I really regret that I took you back to Western Xia with a single thought." ”

After a pause, he said, "I am reluctant to let you go, and I am even more reluctant to let you suffer." I originally planned to send you back to the Song Kingdom, and when you left Jinmingzhai and went to Yanzhou, I would carry out my plan again. ”

Yi Zhi looked at the red-faced stockade and said in confusion: "The national disaster is at stake, their lives are at stake, they don't know you at all, they don't know the Western Xia Army, but they are blindly arrogant and arrogant. The military generals live in the temple, but let the civilian officials who do not know how to use the army at all be stationed in the border garrison. Uncle Fan repatriated the famous Shanyu who surrendered to Cheng, which was a big mistake, and it was customary to place the soldiers of Toucheng on the spot......"

She was silent for a long time and said: "The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and I am convinced of losing this battle." ”

Yuan Hao smiled and looked at Yizhi.

After a while, she said again: "At such a juncture, there are still people in the court who frame my father, what are the officials thinking, and what are the courtiers doing?" I don't know what I'm protecting...... All of a sudden, I didn't understand anything. ”

Yuan Hao sighed and said, "You don't have to know this. ”

Yizhi suddenly smiled and said, "I'm glad I know. Suddenly, she saw the women and children trembling under the light of the knife, and said angrily to Yuan Hao: "You can't hurt innocent people. ”

Yuan Hao laughed and said, "You still say you don't understand, don't you understand?" ”

Yizhi was stunned, and his heart suddenly brightened a little, and said, "Yes...... I am guarding the people, the people who are powerless to resist. ”

Yuan Hao smiled: "Just like Fu Liangbi is desperate to thoroughly investigate the case of the dungeon, he doesn't have to fight anyone, he is just guarding the people who are powerless to resist." ”

Yizhi stayed for a long time and asked, "Do you think he did the right thing?" ”

Yuan Hao pursed his lips, noncommittal, and said, "What is the basis for judging right and wrong?" You advised Fu Liangbi not to marry Su Yiyi, and accused Fu Liangbi of destroying his future, right? Is it right that you are openly talking about Su Yi as a prostitute, unclean, wealthless, and adulterous?

What are you to Su Yiyi, a high-minded, pretentious and vicious person, her situation was not created by her, she is powerless to fight against fate, many people are like this, even if he is famous, he is hateful and pitiful.

He paused, then continued, "I admire people who have the courage, the conviction and the perseverance. There are not many people I can admire, and Fu Liangbi is one of them. ”

Yizhi listened to the words in his heart, savored them for a long time, and suddenly thought of it, and said: "Your soldiers helped Wei Ming Shouquan to slander me, was it you who instructed you?" ”

Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Sometimes, I like your cleverness very much. Sometimes, I hope you're not so clever. ”

Yizhi was about to get angry, Yuan Hao said: "I really sent you home, but your house is restless, since you will suffer when you go back, I'm afraid it will only be more difficult, just add fuel and firewood, so that you can't go back at all, just stay by my side and let me protect you." ”

Yizhi was deeply infected, staring at Yuan Hao for a while, and the rest of the entanglement, she was silent for a long time, and then calmed down, and said: "You can't, while hurting my family, burning and looting in my homeland, while tenderly telling me to protect me." ”

Yuan Hao laughed, and had to say: "The world has always been like this, and it is always difficult to have both. ”

Yizhi was silent for a long time, sighed lightly, and said, "My father is coming." ”

Yuan Hao said, "I know. ”

Yizhi said: "He will definitely do his best to save me." ”

Yuan Hao smiled: "That's not necessarily. He paused again and said, "Besides, if I don't let you go, you won't be able to go anywhere." ”

Remembrance: "If he does everything he can to save me, you have to let me go home." I am a Song person, you are a Tangut person, the two countries are constantly at war, you and I will always be enemies. Yuan Hao didn't say anything, he confronted Yizhi's eyes for a while, bypassed her and got off the lookout, and then went to the lobby, sat down on Li Shibing's high position, and watched the results of the battle.

The blue sky slightly revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the finches on the branches squeaked.

Zhang Yuan was scanning Jin Mingzhai after the baptism of war, and Yizhi walked over to him, side by side with him, scanned the surroundings together, and asked, "It seems that you have also passed his test." ”

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "So what, he still refuses to hand over the military power to me." ”

Remembering lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "If you are steadfast, you will reap the fruits." ”

Zhang Yuan unconsciously glanced at the memory, and after a while, he went to assist Yuan Hao, reviewed the account books of the officials of Jin Mingzhai, and counted the property.

The Western Xia army extinguished the embers, and the officials and prostitutes were embarrassed and wept timidly.

Sunur was in love with a child, and the more the child was afraid of him, the more he had to make a vicious face to scare him, and the child's grandmother hugged him tightly and trembled.

Yizhi walked over, squatted down, and said to the child: "Yesterday was the day of the winter year, right?" ”

Sunur glanced at her in displeasure, and the child choked back tears, looked at Yizhi, and nodded.

Memories continued: "How did you spend your Winter New Year? ”

The child said timidly: "Yes, we have to keep the New Year, the adults have gone to sleep, and no one cares about us, we can eat sweets around the brazier to our heart's content, play copper coins, and stay up all night." ”

Yizhi smiled: "Do you know how the children in Bianjing spend the winter and the New Year? ”

The child shook his head.

The way of remembrance: "Every winter in Bianjing City, a group of 'evil ghosts' will break out of the palace. ”

The boy was horrified.

Yi Zhi smiled: "But those 'evil ghosts' are all dressed up by the artists of the Imperial Forest Army and the Teaching Workshop Division, they are either wearing terrifying masks, or wearing colorful faces, wearing costumes, holding weapons and colored flags in their hands, some pretending to be judges, some pretending to be Yama, some pretending to be Zhong Kui, and some pretending to be little ghosts, in short, colorful, like a group of demons dancing. They sounded the gong and opened the way, and they went round the city, and they knocked from house to house, and if you did not open it, they would smash it in droves. The adults are sleeping, and only the children are in charge of the door, do you know what they should do at this time? ”

The child's eyes lit up, and he looked intently at Memories.

Sunur was curious and asked, "What are they going to do?" ”

Yizhi grabbed a small handful of copper coins from the urn next to him, sprinkled it on Sunur, and said to the child with a smile: "This is called 'exorcism', also called 'money can make ghosts grind'." Sunur might as well be sprinkled with copper coins, and he was angry for a while, and raised his hand to remember it, but he heard the kid giggle and said, "I know, these people are pretending to be ghosts in winter!" ”

Remembering the way: "Yes, because they are fierce enough to be pretending, are you scared by them?" ”

The child smiled even more happily and said, "I'm not afraid!" ”

Sunur's eyes widened in anger, and he grabbed Yizhi's arm and dragged her towards Yuanhao.

Yizhi might as well be dragged all the way by Lian Lian, and then thrown at Yuan Hao's feet, only to hear Sunur say: "Why can this Song woman walk around?" You heard and saw it just now, you can tell me, can I swallow this breath, you tell me, should I teach her a lesson! ”

Yuan Hao was eating and drinking, and said, "Go with Zhang Yuan to count your belongings." ”

Sunur was not convinced, and he still had to speak.

Yuan Hao frowned and shook his head again, Sunur couldn't, so he could only glare at Yi Yi and walk away.

Yizhi rubbed his arms and sat up.

Yuan Hao took a sip of wine and said, "I really don't understand what you have to do to protect such an ethereal thing. ”

Remembering didn't say anything, just looked at the smiling child.

Yuan Hao said: "That child didn't know the truth, and told other children, and that group of children believed it to be true, and they all took copper coins to sprinkle soldiers, and shouted that I am not afraid of you, guess what." ”

Yizhi looked at Yuan Hao and said, "You have to be gentle and kind to these people, and there will be trouble under tyranny." ”

Yuan Hao said: "They are all Qiang people, and what flows in their bones is the spirit of Rongma, and the food and clothing of the Song Kingdom have softened their will, shouldn't they be corrected?" To be my people, they all have to go to the battlefield with knives and guns, and they must not live in Yunmengze. ”

Yizhi had to argue: "They are still young. ”

Yuan Hao said: "When I was as old as them, I knew everything. ”

Yizhi stared at Yuan Hao, and unconsciously a fire ignited in her heart, she grabbed a handful of dust, hesitated again, and didn't dare to make a mistake, only sprinkled on his shoulder.

Yuan Hao raised his skin and was about to eat wine, but he might as well be sprinkled half of his body, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Yizhi didn't say angrily: "'Exorcism', one handful is not enough, and another one must be sprinkled." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed another handful of dust, and was about to sprinkle it, when Yuan Hao grabbed her wrist violently, leaned in front of her again, and said, "Don't mess with me, otherwise I won't spare you." As he spoke, he glanced at her deeply, and then threw away his hand with a wicked smile.

Yizhi didn't feel that his blood was surging, and he hurriedly looked away, and forced his thoughts to be silent.

The soldiers escorted Li Shibing and knelt down in front of Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao sat high, leaned on a table, bent one leg, stepped on the high chair with his heel, put his right hand on his right knee, and asked with a smile: "General Li, this is not a good taste of defeat." ”

Li Shibing chirped: "Phew, Yuan Hao Xiaoer! Grandpa is just careless for a while, fell for your trick, in this case, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, you don't do this frivolous way, grandpa can't see it the most! As he spoke, he scolded Yizhi again, and said: "You cheap hoof, where can you not make a wave, collaborating with the enemy and treason, you are worthy of your father and the emperor!" "A mouth full of foul language is unbearable.

Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "General Li is a hero, and he can't do what he can, so naturally he can't be taken lightly." Then he said to the left and right: "First cut off his left ear for me, and listen to it with a few voices, and see if he will cry like his eldest son." ”

Yizhi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and grabbed Yuan Hao's arm, knelt up straight, and shook his head in a hurry and said: "No, he is already a prisoner of war, no matter what, you must give him dignity, you must not insult him, it will cause public anger!" ”

Yuan Hao glanced at Yiyi.

Zhang Yuan heard the movement, ran over, and said: "Vulture, what Miss Yan said is reasonable, if this move of the vulture is introduced to the Song Kingdom, it will be confirmed in the name of tyranny, which is not conducive to the establishment of the country!" Since ancient times, it is easy to start a business, but it is difficult to keep a business. The vultures have to plan for the coming day! ”

Li Shibing's face was flushed with anger, he shouted loudly and scolded and spitted indiscriminately, and then broke off: "Wait for Hugh to pretend to be in front of grandpa, one sings with a red face, the other sings with a white face, coercion and temptation, just when grandpa doesn't understand or what?" Grandpa doesn't need your hooves to intercede, even if you are a young child, what is there to be decent or not, if you let it go, it will only be a death! ”

Yi Zhi said sadly: "You can say a few words!" ”

Yuan Hao went to touch Yizhi's hand, Yizhi hurriedly withdrew his hand, he smiled again, looked at Yizhi with two eyes, and said: "Did you hear it, people don't appreciate your affection at all, and scold one by one, aren't you angry, I am angry when I hear it." As he spoke, he looked at Li Shibing again and shouted, "Cut off my ears!" ”

Sunur received the order, pulled out the dagger he was wearing at his waist and walked towards Li Shibing.

Yizhi glanced at the child looking at this side in the distance, and shouted in a trembling voice, but he heard a terrible scream, Li Shibing's left ear had been cut off, and the flesh and blood were blurred, Sunur threw his left ear on Yizhi's body, Yizhi was suddenly startled, covered his lips and sat back, bluffing and shaking, and he didn't feel that his stomach was overturned, and he almost vomited.

Yuan Hao smacked his lips, glanced back at Chao Yizhi first, and shot Sunur angrily. After a while, he said to Li Shibing: "General Li, I respect you as an elder, but I can give you enough face, and you are an envoy and a heavy gift." You are shaking your head, very arrogantly. Did you ever think that there would be such an end now? ”

Li Shibing trembled and said fiercely: "Yuan Hao Xiao'er! He lost too much blood, and his lips gradually lost blood, so he paused and continued: "Grandpa, I just don't look down on your villain's appearance, you vainly try to establish a country, and compete with Song and Liao? Phew! Look, what will happen to you! With that, he chuckled.

Yuan Hao took a sip of wine, heard this, pursed his lips, and said to Sunur: "Cut off the other one too." After that, he deliberately glanced at Yiyi, and Yizhi looked at Yuan Hao in surprise and shook his head. Yuan Hao stared at her, without saying a word, suddenly, looked at Sunur again, saw that he was standing still, and said, "Don't do it yet?" ”

Sunur hurriedly cut off his other ear with a knife.

Yizhi didn't dare to look at it anymore, shrunk in fright, trembled, and asked with tears in his eyes, "Why...... Why are you doing this......"

Yuan Hao looked at Yizhi with deep eyes, and said: "I want the world to know that I am willing to deign to ask for peace is to give you a great face, if you don't obey, you will be my enemy, he will fall into my hands, and he will not be spared!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Take him down, lock him up, send the best Lang to heal him, let the jailer watch the prison closely, and if he dies, he will be buried together." ”
