The fox looked suspiciously, Xiao Xianhui frowned and said nothing, I didn't care, and continued: "Since about six years old, Yuemu and his mother have taken advantage of the gap to leave the palace and ask the craftsman to help find a stable land for the deceased. ”

Staring at his eyes in disbelief, the tears in Xiao Xianhui's eyes did not fade, and gradually gathered again. I looked at him: "Once I went out of the palace again, the craftsman said that there was a woman with strangulation marks on her neck after the rectification, and her clothes were not like ordinary people. At that time, the ten emperor brothers had gone away to the Western Wilderness, and Yue Mu and his mother had heard about Concubine Qian's mother, so they dared to guess that it should be Concubine Qian's golden body. Yue Mu took out the waist card given to me by the Ten Emperor Brothers, and put it into the coffin of Concubine Qian. ”

Xiao Xianhui's expression changed when he said the word strangulation, and when he mentioned the waist card again, he only disdained sarcasm on his face, and raised his eyebrows fiercely: "I should have thanked the royal sister for her kindness, but remember to ask for details when I tell the story next time." Don't say why the mother died, just say the palace card, how can you be willing not to abandon it to make a funeral for the mother concubine? I thought that the previous righteousness was awe-inspiring from your sincerity, but at this time, it seems that it is a lie and a deception......"

Stopping abruptly, Xiao Xian was stunned, staring directly at the object in my hand. In the middle of the night, he trembled and took the waist card, tears streaming down his face, wetting the faded red Yingluo.

"The cause of Concubine Qian's death was not on her neck, but because her liver was damaged and she died of drinking wine." I withdrew my hand, bowed my head and whispered: "The craftsman took the waist card out of the palace again, and when he inspected it, he found that it was inappropriate, and he did not dare to place the waist card, and returned it to Zhao." Later, I don't know what happened, Yue Mu and his mother never found him again, and the rest of the people were not at ease, so the matter was put aside. ”

"The Ten Emperor Brothers asked Yue Mu how he would give up the waist card, in fact, the reason was the same as the reason why Yue Mu and his mother did not dare to leave the palace again. At that time, the mother had been named Baolin. And this waist card has been kept by Yue Mu to this day, and I am grateful for it. ”

Xiao Xuan gave Concubine Qian Bai Aya to commit suicide, but I am afraid that Wang Gushan poisoned Concubine Qian by means before Bai Aya arrived, in order to prevent her from dying and struggling. In order to reduce trouble, the minions still wrapped white silk around Concubine Qian's neck and faked the cause of death. That palace card was just a trace of my rare true feelings for Lianghong's harem, but I didn't expect it to become the most important part of Xiao Xianhui's trust in me at this moment.

It is myself who destroys my true heart.

When Huan Ke and Zong Zhengxu re-entered the camp, I had already called Xiao Xianhui to be the tenth brother. The word "royal brother" is sarcastic to him and me, so it is better to avoid it.

The epidemic situation in the Western Wilderness is still severe, and many prisoners have been exposed to the wilderness in the past few days. The vultures wander here, frightened at night, unable to drive away during the day, and always helpless. What is a predatory paradise for them is actually a hell on earth.

"This epidemic is menacing, and it is difficult to cure it in a short period of time, and we also know it. It's just that even if the illness comes like a mountain, the illness goes like a thread, and a few adults have been here for a while, how can the condition always not improve? ”

Pacing back and forth in the room, Xiao Xianhui's tone was urgent. The leader of the four medical officers knelt tremblingly, and said with little confidence: "I ask His Royal Highness the Ten Princes for forgiveness." The momentum of this disease is too strong, and it will drag on for a long time, and with the medical skills of Weichen, I am afraid that it will ...... There is no cure. Most...... At most, the disease can only be controlled and no longer infect others. ”

That is, those who are already sick ...... "surely die?" I was amazed, the rest of the people were silent, and the room was uneasy.

"If the situation is so bad, it is imperative to separate the uninfected from the infected." Calmly analyzed, Zong Zhengxu's voice was as usual: "Once the condition worsens, it is easy to deal with those who are seriously ill." ”

There was a thunderclap in the sky, and I couldn't even tell whether it was horror or disgust, shock or chill that surged up in my heart for a moment. Staring directly at Zong Zhengxu's plain as usual face, I opened my mouth slightly, but I couldn't even make a sound. This once familiar face has completely become the strangeness of passers-by at this moment, and it seems that I have really come into contact with a little corner of his heart at this moment. But—

What he said...... It's the most important choice to make.

In an instant, I realized that what I was really afraid of was my sanity that agreed with Zong Zhengxu's move. If the lives of the sick are taken care of, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out, and the epidemic in the Western Wilderness will be raging, and it will be difficult to control it; If we don't care about the lives and deaths of those people, we can at least protect the health and stability of the rest of the people and stabilize the situation......

But...... From what perspective am I talking about the big picture?

If I am sick, will I be able to afford this self-sacrificing renunciation?

There was chaos in my mind, and I didn't know when everyone in the tent had dispersed. Looking around blankly, only Yu Huan Ke also stood silently behind me.

"They're going to ......"

Needless to say, the answer is already in the hearts of the two of us.

I was getting more and more helpless, and I didn't know what I was talking about: "If you persuade...... It is to disregard the lives of the majority...... But if you don't persuade ...... And how is it different from an executioner...... Since they are all the same people, they are all created equal...... How can we decide whether they live or die......"

It was no longer possible to bear the weight of my body between words, I took a step forward with all my strength, fell into Huan Ke's arms, and finally couldn't help choking: "What should I do, Chengkuo...... Aren't we here to save people...... In this way, in this way, it is ...... with murder"

Such an understatement decides to keep several lives...... What is the difference with homicide.

"Brushing sandal." Huan Ke finally spoke slowly, his voice was low and hoarse, and he was shallow and distressed: "Do you remember...... General Yang Kan? ”

"More than 20 years ago, the world was in turmoil, with constant wars. When Hu Ru fought the first battle and put down the chaos, it was General Yang Kan who went into battle. At that time, the siege of the city could not be attacked for a long time, and the rebellious ministers arrogantly stood on top of the defending city and threatened to slaughter the city. ”

At that time, General Yang Kan led a small army of soldiers and horses alone to confront the thieves. The rebellious ministers said presumptuously, General Yang Kan and his subordinates each stabbed a sword in their left ribs, and he spared a civilian. With each stab of his right arm, he spared a family of civilians. ”

"Where General Yang Kan's troops stand, blood meanders like a river."

"No one can imagine what kind of amazing endurance they have, so that they can stab themselves with such a sword and save all the people in the city."

The thief didn't think of it either. When he was about to repent, General Yang Kan said that the lives of the people had arrived, and it was their turn to rebel. ”

"The bloody gas spread, and the sky was blood-red. General Yang Kan stabbed himself in the abdomen with a full twelve swords. There were thirteen rebellious ministers above the tower. ”

At this time when the dust fell, looking back at what General Yang Kan did at that time, in addition to admiration, there was also incomprehension. He was admirable for being able to endure what ordinary people could not endure, but he was not sure if the thief would keep his promise, so how could he gamble with his own life? ”

When I asked about General Yang Kan, he just replied with a smile.

"'In order to be worthy of the sword in my hand and for the hope of tens of millions of Li people, I am willing to die calmly'."

"Brushing sandal." Gently called me again, and Huan Ke took me into his arms: "General Yang Kan shoulders the responsibility of protecting the country, and it is a good responsibility." But when you think back to the past, when you wanted to save them with your own life, did you hesitate in your heart? ”

"In this world, the law of the jungle is the rule. On the other hand, it is not appropriate for us to discuss ways to save people at this time. But...... There is always sacrifice in this world. ”

"Because of sacrifice, we can pass it on. Because death can highlight the preciousness of life. ”

"Those who survive can be grateful for even a moment, even if they only remember that someone lost their lives for themselves...... For the victims, it is worth it. ”

From the beginning of the night to the early morning of the next day, Huan Ke worked with me to take care of the patients in the isolated patient area without stopping. They could not sleep because of the pain of the flesh, and I could not sleep because of the torment of my heart. A group of people went to the dawn with their own thoughts. The moment the sun rose majestically, many people's eyes were shining with tears.

"Girl." Two doctors came to see me, and I was about to retreat to one side when a lady grabbed me. Her hands were rough, calloused, and cold, and I even felt a little pain in my grip.

"What's wrong, auntie?" Hurriedly hugged her trembling body, but lightened her strength when she touched the weak arm. This is still flesh and blood, it is clearly just a skeleton, wrapped in a human skin.

"No need." Seeing me looking at the medical officer, the eldest lady smiled and patted the back of my hand: "I have reached this age, and I have this disease again...... I don't have a few days left to live. Why waste any more herbs? ”

"Auntie......"

"Good boy, I know you have a good heart, thank you so much." gasped slightly, and the eldest lady suddenly increased her strength in her hand: "In the past, I lived in Zhongshu, and I was fortunate to have seen the royal honor guard, and I also saw the official lady. The girl has an extraordinary bearing, she must be the daughter of a big family, right? and like that great man......"

She staggered to her knees, and I was too busy to stop her, but I didn't expect that she still had seven or eight points of strength, and they were both deadlocked for a while: "Girl...... I beg you...... I was a remnant of my life, so I went, but I just couldn't worry about my son...... Although he is not my own flesh and blood, he is filial and sensible, very competitive, and he enters the palace as a guard, and he will come out of the palace to see me every other day. If he hadn't come home and found me, I don't know what he would have done. The girl is from the end of Shu, right? ”

Seeing me nodding with difficulty, the wrinkles on the eldest lady's face stretched out, but the corners of her eyes revealed deeper furrows: "Ask girl, can you help me with a word when I return to Zhongshu?" Just tell him...... Don't worry about me......"

There was light in her eyes, but I saw nothing but darkness. Biting my lip and being silent, I tried to suppress the urge to cry, sour, but still through the words: "...... Good. ”

As soon as she responded, the eldest mother was overjoyed and bowed her head. I hurriedly leaned down and tried my best to persuade her: "Auntie, get up quickly." What is your son's name? ”

Naturally, I didn't come here from the end of Shu, and even if I might return in the future, I don't know what year or night it will be. But when I have fulfilled this request, I will do it.

Joyful, she couldn't help but thank her, and the eldest lady trembled and took out a wooden sign from the lining of her underwear. I took a closer look, the workmanship is exquisite, needless to say, the word "pass" engraved on it, the more I look at it, the more familiar it feels.

"Thank you, girl, for your kindness. My son's surname is single, and the word 'pass' is a single word. He called Shan Guo. ”
