"What about the people who are willing to surrender? Will you spare their lives? Shen Yuexi asked again.

He thought for a moment and didn't speak.

Shen Yuexi was a little desperate, she was really under too much pressure during this time, she saw bloody scenes every day, and she had to worry about her brother every day, she entered the city, her eyes were full of burning and looting, the world was like hell, she felt that she was going crazy.

"Those are innocent people, you slaughter the city like this, it will only make more Nanxia people rise up against you." Shen Yuexi did not give up and continued to persuade.

Hu Clumsy still did not speak.

"Just think it's for Yi'er, he's still so young, we, as fathers and mothers, should accumulate more virtue for him." Shen Yuexi sighed and said.

This time, it seemed to touch the clumsy heart, and for Yi'er, he nodded.

However, people can not be killed, but property cannot be looted, and the soldiers have already tasted the sweetness, and stopping it at this moment will weaken the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Shen Yuexi can't ask for more at this point, anyway, it's good to be alive, money is something outside the body after all.

Zhao Zheng has been retreating with the army, with anxiety and anger in his heart, discussing countermeasures with Xu Du and others every day, but before the countermeasures have been discussed, the express report from southern Yunnan came: the king of southern Yunnan and the Northern Hu reinforcements rebelled again.

This news is fatal to Zhao Zheng, the war on the frontier is already anxious, and with the southern Yunnan side, he is equivalent to suffering from the enemy on his back.

"Tomorrow we will leave for Beijing." Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth and said.

Before leaving the barracks, Zhao Zheng convened Xu Du and others to deploy a meeting to deal with Beihu, and he would continue to increase troops to the frontier, no matter what, he would defend to the death and fight Beihu to the end.

Before returning to Beijing, Zhao Zheng did the last thing, which was to kill Shen Yi.

He personally touched his own hands.

"We have known each other since childhood, and then I married Yuexi, originally we were a family, but who would have thought that Yuexi would betray me? I've always wanted to see her, talk to her, and as long as she's willing to go back with me, I'll be able to do the same. Zhao Zheng looked at Shen Yi and said lightly.

Being tortured for so long, Shen Yi is now worse than dead, his eyes are sunken, and he looked at Zhao Zheng distractedly, "Yuexi has been displaced with adults since she was a child, and she has suffered a lot along the way. ”

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he sneered: "Let her go, then who will let me go?" Didn't I treat her like a jewel at the beginning? But what did she do to me? ”

"What did you do to her? Alienating her, imprisoning her, and having a grudge against her, the Seventh Prince, you don't love her anymore, you just don't want to be reconciled. Shen Yi said earnestly.

"She was sorry for me first, she was pregnant with a clumsy child and went back to the capital with me, and she made me lose face." Zhao Zheng's voice suddenly became louder.

"In that case, why do you bother looking for her, everyone is okay."

"It's impossible, I'm not happy, don't think about it, I once endured the imperial brother for ten years, but now, I don't want to endure it, whoever I love and hate will get it all." Zhao Zheng shouted, and then rushed to Shen Yi, "I want Yuexi to live in the shadows for the rest of her life, and I want to make her miserable." ”

Shen Yi looked at Zhao Zheng and looked at the madness in his eyes, he was no longer the Seventh Prince of the past.

"So how do you do that?" A chill suddenly rose in Shen Yi's heart.

Zhao Zheng let out a sigh of relief and calmed down, and then, he pulled out his long sword and pointed the head of the sword at Shen Yi, "I will kill you, and then hang your body outside the city gate, I will let Shen Yuexi see her dearest brother die tragically because of her." ”

Shen Yi's eyes showed despair, he was not afraid of death, he was afraid that Shen Yuexi would die because of him.

"Seventh Prince......" Shen Yi tried to beg Zhao Zheng more.

But Zhao Zheng's sword had already pierced Shen Yi's throat, Shen Yi's eyes widened, and he looked directly at Zhao Zheng, and after a while, he swallowed his breath.

Zhao Zheng pulled out his sword, wiped it on Shen Yi's clothes, and then ordered the soldiers to tie Shen Yi's body with a rope and hang it outside Qili Town overnight.

Qili Town, is the city newly captured by Beihu, Beihu's army entered the city first to plunder the property, as for the people, because of the clumsy life, most of them let go of a way to live, but no one dared to stay in the city anymore, they fled for their lives.

Shen Yuexi rushed to Qili Town on the second day with the army.

In the distance, he heard a noisy sound in front of him, Shen Yuexi opened the carriage curtain and looked forward.

"What's going on up front?" Shen Yuexi looked at Zhicui, "You go and take a look." ”

Zhicui ran over, and after a while ran back, "Outside the city gate, there is a pole, and there is a person's body hanging on the pole, everyone doesn't know each other, and I don't know who it is, see that the clothes are the military uniforms of Nanxia." ”

Oh? Shen Yuexi was stunned.

was stunned, and suddenly rode up from behind, and saw Shen Yuexi lifting the carriage curtain, "It should be fine, I'll take a look." ”

"I'd like to see it too." Shen Yuexi said, then got out of the carriage and handed Yi'er to Zhicui.

Suddenly, he grabbed Shen Yuexi by the waist and hugged him on the horse and went forward together.

When the soldiers saw Ku Zhuo coming on horseback, they automatically moved out of the way, and watched Hu Zhuo and Shen Yuexi approach the pole in front step by step.

From a distance, I couldn't see the situation on the pole clearly, but the color of the blood after coagulation was too terrifying.

"You'd better stop looking." Suddenly, he reined in the horse, he was afraid that Shen Yuexi would be afraid.

"In these days, I see either dead people or wounded people every day, what kind of tragedy I haven't seen, it's not in the way." Shen Yuexi smiled indifferently.

Suddenly, he stopped insisting and continued to walk on his horse.

Getting closer and closer to the hanging corpse, Shen Yuexi's heart jumped wildly inexplicably, how could that person be so like his brother?

But soon Shen Yuexi denied his thoughts, his brother had arms, and the hanging corpse had an empty left arm.

But Hu Zhuo had already recognized that person was Shen Yi. couldn't help but be taken aback, hurriedly covered Shen Yuexi's eyes, and walked back.

Shen Yuexi pulled down his clumsy hand, turned his head, looked at the corpse again, then grabbed the reins of the horse, and turned the horse back again.

"Yuexi." Hu Clumsy knew that he couldn't hide it, so he couldn't help but call out Shen Yuexi's name sadly.

Shen Yuexi couldn't hear anything at the moment, she looked directly at the corpse, her face became clearer and clearer, it was the face of her brother who was so thin that he was out of shape, he was missing his arm, and the blood stains left from his throat, staining the whole corpse red.

"How could it be, how could it be like this...... Shen Yuexi looked up at it for a while before muttering, and then collapsed in his arms and fainted.

**

When he woke up again, it was getting dusk, Shen Yuexi was lying on the bed, the afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the window paper, glowing with orange light.

As soon as she opened her eyes, tears fell.

Struggling to get up, he staggered two steps, and was supported by Zhicui, who heard the sound and came in, "Queen, you can rest for a while." ”

"I'm going to look outside the gates." Shen Yuexi's mind was full of thoughts at the moment to see his brother.

"The king has already asked people to ...... corpses" Zhicui paused when he said this, feeling that it was not very good to say the corpse, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to pass by vaguely, "It has already made people settle down." ”

"Where?" Shen Yuexi asked.

Zhicui thought about it, she didn't know, she just knew that Shen Yi's body was put down, and as for where it was at the moment, she didn't know.

"You're good to take care of Yi'er." Shen Yuexi left these words and walked out of the house.

The house where she settled was the home of a wealthy merchant in Qili Town, and at this moment the rich merchant fled with his family, leaving behind this house, all of whom were soldiers from Beihu at the moment.

Seeing Shen Yuexi, the soldiers stepped back, bowed their heads, and greeted him.

Shen Yuexi couldn't care about them, and walked all the way out, she wanted to find Hu.

After walking for a long distance and not seeing a clumsy man, she grabbed the passing soldier, "Where is the king?" ”

The soldier pointed the way for Shen Yuexi, and Hu Zhuo was in the front hall of this house, where Shen Yi was being buried, Hu Zhuo helped Shen Yi change his clothes, helped him wipe the blood stains and dirt on his face, and then he and the soldiers put Shen Yi into the coffin, ready to find a feng shui to bury it.

The upper board of the coffin has not yet been nailed, Hu Zhuo stood aside, looking at Shen Yi in the coffin, his heart was very sad, Shen Yi's death, Hu Zhuo felt that he was also responsible.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you avenge this revenge, Yuexi, I will definitely take care of it." Holding the coffin with his hand, he whispered.

Then, Hu Zhuo took one last look at Shen Yi, closed his eyes, waved his hand, and motioned to close the coffin.

But suddenly I heard the sound of a person rushing over, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Shen Yuexi holding the coffin with both hands, staring at the person lying in the coffin.

"Yuexi." Suddenly, he called.

Shen Yuexi hadn't heard it, she looked at the person in the coffin, how could it be her brother like that? Her brother is tall, handsome, hearty, and has always loved her since she was a child, how could she become a tragic corpse, silent.

Looking at it, Shen Yuexi's eyes were bloodshot, but there was no trace of tears.

"Yuexi," Hu clumsily walked over and hugged Shen Yuexi from behind, "Don't look at it, let Shen Yi settle in the ground." ”

Shen Yuexi gritted his teeth, "What about his arm?" ”

Hu sighed, "I was cut by Zhao Zheng." ”

"Did you already know? Why didn't you tell me? Shen Yuexi turned her head to look at Hu Clumsy, "If I go to meet Zhao Zheng, my brother won't die." ”

"Even if you go, it won't change anything, and you won't be blamed for this." What she was most afraid of was Shen Yuexi's guilt, he didn't want her to live in self-blame for the rest of her life.

"No, if I go to see Zhao Zheng, he will let my brother go, in the end, I killed my brother." Shen Yuexi's hands grabbed the coffin too hard, and the joints were white.
