Chapter 21: The Illusion (3)

The aftermath in the city is not easy.

This Kunjing is the territory of Beiye, although there have been wars for many years, and the people are miserable in their hearts, but the idea of being a Beiye person in life and a ghost in Beiye in death has long been ingrained and easily unshakable.

Wan Yan Zhen has been discussing with the generals for the past few days about strategies to pacify the people and capture the prisoners. The people can carry the boat and also overturn the boat, taking the city is only the first step, and winning the hearts of the people is the top priority. If the people here still only have Beiye in their hearts and don't recognize him as the king, then even if they are shocked by killing chickens and monkeys, they will eventually give Beiye a chance to make a comeback.

And this captive and this people's heart are inextricably linked. It is possible that some of them have their homes here. The people are also soldiers, and the soldiers are also the people, and it is difficult to say for sure. Therefore, what they need is a foolproof solution.

When Phantom Heart came to find Yan Zhen, he was standing in front of the hand-drawn territory map, staring intently.

Knowing that it was an illusion, he turned around and laughed, and said strangely: "Fang Hao didn't come out to shake it soon." ”

Phantom told her that she was fine, but that it would take some time for her spiritual power to recover.

Wan Yan Zhen beckoned to the illusory heart and pointed out to her one by one, in this world, the world is divided into five points. Xiaojing South Yuju South, although the territory is small, but it is rich in materials and pleasant climate; Liaohai is located in the east, the territory is coastal on all sides, although the territory is small, but it is a waterway vertical and horizontal, and it is difficult for foreigners to invade if they are not good at water; Beiye is sparsely populated, full of deserts, harsh climate, and the most complex terrain; Xirong Mountain is high and the road is far away, the weather is very cold, and the Xirong soldiers are good at fighting, and it is not easy to surrender. Today, the earliest one who can be unified is Xiaojing.

Phantom listened carefully to Wan Yanzhen's narration, his words were concise and concise, and Phantom listened to it, and felt that all over the world seemed to be in front of her eyes. She suddenly had a thought, seeing all the scenery he said, and traveling all the countries he said, this life would not be in vain.

Phantom asks him what she can do for him. Wan Yanzhen told her that her appearance was the best gift for him, and nothing else was needed.

The two looked at each other and laughed, silence is better than sound.

On the second day, a strange illness suddenly appeared in Kunjing City, many people continued to have a high fever, convulsions, unable to swallow, and were covered with rashes the size of particles. In the morning, three people have died, all of whom died of the disease.

For a while, the people in the city were panicked, and the saying was that God wanted to punish the people of the world and take their lives. The people panicked and began to set up altars to worship God, praying that the sickness would pass as soon as possible and that the dawn would come as soon as possible.

Knowing about this condition, Phantom quickly went to check it out without any hesitation. Wan Yan Zhen didn't stop it, but only ordered Wu Yong to follow the whole process.

Phantom Heart began to treat patients one after another, in-depth investigation of the cause, and only hoped that there would be no wronged souls in the future.

But the more she looked, the more suspicious she became. The symptoms of these people are very similar, and this disease is not an infectious disease. Then there is only one possibility, the source of the disease is the same!

That night, Phantom Heart disguised himself and went to investigate the patient's home during the day, and after visiting several houses, he found that there was nothing else in the house except the water well.

Due to the lack of rain all year round, many of the main cities and affiliated cities are arid and barren, the vegetation is barren, and water is very precious to the locals. Phantom Heart visited a few places, and she knew it in her heart, she clenched her fists, and she already knew in her heart about the person who poisoned her.

The confrontation between the two was both expected and unexpected. Phantom asked him, the peace in the world is to exchange the lives of innocent people, so what is the use of this peace?

Wan Yanzhen told her that only by sending charcoal in the snow can she be grateful, and now, it is indeed the best strategy to quickly take here. In troubled times, there is no perfect way, I hope she understands.

And Phantom Heart, first and foremost, is a healer, she can't put herself in his shoes, and he can't fully understand her feelings. The two were at a stalemate for a while, and neither of them gave in.

Qing Lian and Wu Yong didn't know the inside story, and the two looked at the master and were angry, but they were in a hurry.

On the second day, the people of the city suddenly began to recover, and the news slowly spread. Because Kunjing had been lost, Bei Ye wanted to assassinate him, and wanted to kill Yan Zhen in one fell swoop. No, it was the people who died, Wan Yanzhen and the army did not eat the well water, but a clear spring three miles outside the city, just in case.

The people began to understand that while Beiye had killed the killers, he had given up their lives, and did not treat them as people, but hated to kill them as soon as possible. Their perseverance has become meaningless.

On the third day of the stalemate between Phantom Heart and Wanyan Zhen, the people surrendered one after another. The soldiers and the people were of one mind, so they also abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and no longer resisted. As soon as the bitter meat plan came out, the people's hearts were in the bag.

The generals who accompanied Wan Yanzhen on the expedition were very praised, saying that he was born with the material of the emperor, brave and strategic, affectionate and righteous, decisive and wise. Suddenly, Wan Yan really became the hero of Kunjing and the god of everyone.

Phantom knew what was going on, and knew that he was wrong, but he didn't completely forgive. Although it was not the poison she expected first, and then the charcoal in the snow when everyone was killed and injured countless times, it was also a real sacrifice of life, and her heart was still difficult to calm down.

It was night, Wan Yan Zhen and Wu Yong came to the room of illusion and pity, and said that they were busy and had a little talk.

The illusion is not good to show that she is too stingy, so she accepted the invitation, but this time, it was the sea, and when she approached him, there was no turning back.

Phantom didn't know when Qinglian and Wuyong left, she only knew that they were all drunk and a little confused.

Wan Yanzhen has always talked little, but today, he has said a lot.

He told of his mother, an attendant of a concubine, who was inadvertently favored by the emperor, and once he was favored, he was born.

Naturally, the concubine could not tolerate his mother, but she had no children under her knees, and his mother was fortunate enough to live until the day she gave birth to him.

His nurse saw that he was a poor man, and treated him well. She knew that she knew too much, and that concubine would get rid of her sooner or later. When he became an adult, he knew the hard work of the nurse, how his mother died tragically, and how he recognized the thief as his mother for many years...... It's just that all his aura also comes from this identity, the concubine won Feng Wei in the future, and once he was later, he also had the identity of His Royal Highness now. He entered because of many years of nurturing grace, and the concubine did not treat him badly; He retired, and his biological mother was a nurse...... There are even more people who have died unjustly because of this incident, and he can't let go of it in his heart.

However, when he saw her, when she said that the world was peaceful, his heart suddenly brightened. In troubled times, if he only indulges in personal hatred, more people will lose their lives, homes, and loved ones in the war.

What he has lost is irretrievable, he can't, let more people be like him, he needs to do something to live up to this halo on his body. Everyone has a way of destiny, and this is his way.

In the end, in a daze, Wan Yanzhen asked Phantom Heart, can you understand me. Half-drunk, he stroked his hair and replied: Understood. Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma, and you can only choose the most important.

The two looked at each other again, smiled, hung on the corners of their mouths, left in their eyes, and imprinted in their hearts.

In life, you have a confidant, what more can you ask for.
