Chapter 54: The Beacon Fire in Hengqin (24)

Jiang An looked at the man in white and came out with a sad face. Holding the golden cup in his hand, he poured the bitter wine into his throat one by one, although his heart was sour and unbearable, but this situation did not allow him to say more. Soon after, a soldier opened the curtain and went inside, and replied to the crowd that the traitor had drunk poisoned wine and had been punished.

"Dead...... Dead ......" Jiang An was stunned, suddenly choked on a mouthful of bitter wine, and turned his head to cough. He slowly put down the golden cup, calmed down a little, smiled bitterly, and slowly closed his eyes, stunned. After a long time, he opened his eyes, poured himself a glass of sake, glanced at everyone, his eyes were extremely solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Mochuan Zhu has rebelled, a big mistake has been made, Liaoyin City is only broken in a moment, I don't know if the deputy general and Mr. can have a clever plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Han Yi didn't wait for Jiang An to finish speaking, he just took the case, sneered, and said loudly, "The prince is worried, what is there to discuss in this matter?" Hengqin is a water breaker! ”

Hearing this, Jiang An's brows furrowed suddenly, he played with the golden cup in his hand, and bowed his head silently. Yan Qingsong glanced at Jiang An thoughtfully, his eyes became more and more solemn, and the feather fan in his hand was not as leisurely as in the past at this time, lying quietly on the case, turning back to Han Yi, the wind reminded lightly, "General Han don't forget, there are still 10,000 people in Liaoyin, the flames of war are pouring out, Qi Ning is known as the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and the sword still has eyes, but it is just ...... This time the water and fire are ruthless! ”

Han Yi seemed to be a little surprised, glanced at the two of them, but he didn't care at all, and with a wave of his hand, he laughed, "What's so afraid of this!" It's just 10,000 ears, how can I stop Donglai from winning? ”

"Oh?" When Jiang An heard this, his fingers clenched the golden cup one by one, and there was a faint sound in his throat, but he still couldn't see the slightest expression on his face, and he was still playing with the golden cup in his hand.

"One will be a success, ten thousand bones will wither," Han Yi slapped on the case, suddenly stood up, took a few steps forward, knelt on one knee, and bowed his hands sincerely, "The march is not child's play, the prince this time, don't be a woman's kindness!" ”

"A woman's kindness? Ha ha. Jiang An chuckled, raised his head, and his eyes were blazing, "I only know that my Donglai soldiers protect their families and defend the country, how can I sacrifice innocent people in order to win?" The wine glass in his hand was slowly put down, colliding with the jade case in front of him, making a tinkling sound, he waved his big hand, shook his head slightly, and whispered softly, but it was loud, "Don't mention the matter of breaking the water!" ”

When Han Yi heard this, his heart suddenly became angry, only to feel that a fire of ignorance suddenly surged, surging and sweeping him, completely engulfing him. He suddenly got up and pressed his sword, stepped forward, and said sharply to Jiang An, "Then the prince's intention is to let me, ten thousand Donglai soldiers, die with you?" Hmph, Prince......"

"Enough!" Yan Qingsong heard his rebellious words, turned his head and shouted, the feather fan in his hand slapped heavily, and the feathers flew straight away, leaving only a bare piece, and he said sharply, "General Han, it's too much, how can you say this without a king and a father!" ”

After finishing his thoughts, he peeked at Jiang An, and saw that he was still playing with the golden cup in his hand, and he didn't see any expression on his face, and he didn't even frown, but raised his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Just now my words, General Han didn't hear it?" He raised his eyes, his eyes were blazing, and he smiled slightly, but his voice was a little firmer, and he raised his head and said, "However, I don't mind repeating it again!" ”

Han Yi was speechless for a while, knelt there in a daze, lowered his head, and read a sentence for a long time, "Han didn't mean to commit a crime, just ......" He frowned, his eyes were sad, but he smiled abruptly, "Ten thousand people, it's human life, but I, ten thousand soldiers, isn't it human life!" He lowered his head and whispered, "Human life is equal at all times." ”

Hearing this, Jiang An was slightly stunned, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and at the corner of his eye, he actually showed contempt and ridiculed, "Why, Qi Ling Ye Jin, actually made General Donglai Han a person who is afraid of death?" Tsk, it's really worth boasting about! Raising his eyes and glancing at Han Yi, a trace of dissatisfaction climbed up his eyebrows, and a faint cold snort came out of his throat. Han Yi fell to the ground, hearing this, he shed a little cold sweat, and laughed dumbly, but he said in a low voice, "The prince knows what I mean." ”

Jiang An lowered his head, didn't look at him, took a sip of the sake in the cup, stopped talking, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to retreat.

Although it was a fire in June, there was only a boundless torrential rain, which hit the remnants of the red and the plantain was dim. At the beginning of the shower, at night, it can't help but feel a little cool. The dark night sky, like an overturned ink cartridge, was deducted endlessly, the sky was dark, no stars could be seen, and on the street, even the torches patrolling in twos and threes were dimmed, and the ink sky was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers. Hongxiang was dressed in a single coat and shivered alone in the cold wind. She hugged her shoulders, rubbed her hands together from time to time, looked around, cowered, and walked in the direction of the death row of Xinwu City, where occasionally a few stray wild cats scurried by, or a few ill-intentioned figures scurryed out, their eyes wandering over her, startling the thin woman to scream again and again.

Finally moved to the side of death row, stood by the door, and looked inside, only to see a pitch-black corridor extending inward, I don't know where it leads, like a demon's open bloody mouth, revealing a trace of blood. Hongxiang didn't feel a tumbling in her stomach, turned her head and retched a few times, and when she took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, a soldier-like person, with a big belly and poop, slapped a handful from behind her with a drunken body, grinned, revealing a few yellowed teeth, the smell of tobacco came to her nose, and a pair of treacherous triangular eyes wandered on her body, as if she was going to stare into Hongxiang's thin clothes, licked her lips, and laughed lustfully, "Little girl, it's so late, come here, isn't it ......"

Hongxiang was a little scared, and even more disgusted, she looked around, and when she saw that there was no one around, she frowned, and replied in a trembling voice, "I'm coming to see my master......"

"Oh?" The person who came pretended to have a question, and in a blink of an eye, the fat hand was on her shoulder, and he lazily joked, "Who is your master?" With a roll of his eyes, he raised his head and said, "Come and listen, maybe it's at the eldest brother's!" ”

Hongxiang stared at the hand on her shoulder in disgust, suddenly became afraid, took a few steps back in a daze, shook off the fat hand, and said in horror, "Cui Jinniang......"

"What?" Hearing this, an extremely frightened look appeared on the soldier's face, and the hand that stepped forward and touched her shoulder also retracted like an electric shock, his lips were bruised, his whole body trembled, and he trembled, "Cui Jinniang...... That death row inmate! But the nine tribes will be exterminated! I don't know you......" He shrank back, but was stopped by Hongxiang with an arrow step, his eyes eager, and he asked anxiously, "Where is she?" Do you know where she is? ”

"I ...... I do not know! The man seemed to be terrified, trembling and shaking off the hand that had climbed up his arm, and cried out loudly, "Oh, auntie, don't say you know me!" He suddenly turned around, raised his hand and slapped himself, his eyes pleading, and said, "Grandma, the little one has eyes and no beads, don't say it......"

Hongxiang grabbed his arm, insisted, stunned and didn't let him leave, interrupted him, and raised his head, "Where is she?" I'll let you go. The soldier's face was sad, he looked around, saw that there was no one around, made a few gestures, approached Hongxiang, and whispered, "I just can't stand the torture prisoner, and I'm dead!" It has long been thrown away from mass graves! Your master is really bold enough to assassinate ......"

Suddenly, like thunder on a sunny day, he suddenly struck the woman, "Dead...... Dead ......" she stood there in a daze, took a few steps back in a trance, and only saw the soldier's withered lips one by one, but the voice in her ears was as far away as coming from the hollow valley in the distance, her head was buzzing, her ears had long been unable to hear any words, time and space seemed to stand still at that moment, she suddenly held her head, staggered back, shook her head frantically, her teeth bitten her lips were dripping with blood, with a bit of crying, hysterical, "I can't hear, I can't hear!" ”。

Tears just fell silently in front of the gloomy death row door. "Haha!" The woman's waterfall-like long hair suddenly scattered down, messy, hanging her shoulders, she grabbed her head like crazy, her voice was terrible, raised her eyes, a pair of bright eyes seemed to be dripping blood, gritted her teeth, "I don't believe it, I don't believe that Madame is dead......" In a trance, she muttered to herself, "Yes, mass grave, mass grave......" suddenly turned around and ran madly in that direction.

When the soldier saw her like this, he stood there in a daze, and he really couldn't figure out a good girl, and he went crazy in a moment? He stamped his feet, raised his hand and shouted in a daze, "What kind of place is the mass grave!" Can you still turn that body out? Seeing that the woman had run away, and had long since lost his words, he shook his head, sighed, lit the lantern, and bowed his head and went to death row

What is that mass grave? Listening to its name, it is known that it is the place where many ownerless corpses in Xingo City have been abandoned. Some people died violently on the streets, alone, and no one collected their bodies, so they were thrown here, and the ownerless souls in the prisoners were abandoned here, killing people and goods, dismembering and dismembering corpses, and there was no time to destroy the corpses and destroy the traces, and they were also thrown here. Some of the corpses were freshly thrown in, a little decomposed, and the rancid smell attracted a group of night demons, such as some bats and a few vultures, to stand on them and slowly enjoy such a delicious meal. What's more, half of the limbs have turned into white bones, mixed with a few bits of minced flesh, half have been inserted into the dust, and the other half stands abruptly, and a few points of phosphorus fire are faintly burning, adding to the gloomy horror.

Although Hongxiang is a subordinate, she has grown up beside Jin Niang since she was a child, and she is a sister, even in the Cui family, she has never been wronged, not to mention that she came to the Xue family as a dowry maid, and she is respected as a master, where have you seen such a scene! In a trance, he stumbled under his feet, fell to the ground, and when he got up tremblingly, he looked back and found that his feet were actually stepping on the ribs of a skeleton!
