Chapter 641: Redemption
Miao Miao smiled bitterly, "Does this work?" Do you know that the Xie family is about to fall. ”
"I know." Ye Fei nodded, and then his eyes turned resolute, "I will stay by your side and not let a piece of rubble hurt you." ”
The leaves are slowly drifting by, and it is autumn again, and the young boy seems to have grown up in an instant......
Liu Taishou vigorously supported talents, reused the poor family, and severely suppressed the old forces. In recent months, Emperor Dezong has been led by the nose, and the speed of his attack has reached the point of madness.
How rich and beautiful it used to be, how heavy the shackles are today.
On the secluded path, five big men pressed a few people with different postures but all of them were scarred and haggard faces.
They were all handcuffed and shackled, making a clicking sound with every step, some of them walking more and more rickety, while others couldn't help but have red eyes as they walked.
They were no ordinary criminals, and not so long ago, they were glorious and illustrious nobles, with sedan chairs and slaves when they entered. But in the blink of an eye, all the flowers were like butterflies on fire, turning into clouds of smoke.
In fact, they are not many powerful people, among the nobles, there are only a few men in the family who really have prominent and powerful people, and the others are just some relatives and cronies, running errands and showing off their power.
Those who really hold real power have long been beheaded before their homes are raided, and they are not even qualified to go to prison or exile. The rest of the people who once drank the same bowl of soup with them, the prisons of the imprisoned, the exiles of the exiles, the slaves of the slaves.
There are only two paths before them, death and the torment of labor until death.
Click, click. The sound of the chains is like a merciless mockery, laughing at life like a play, and the world is impermanent.
"Let's go, hurry up." The last strong man was angry after a long journey, and kicked a prisoner on the body.
The man's body was already weak, and he could withstand a brutal kick, and he fell to the ground groaning in pain.
"Ah, you're still pretending to be sick with your uncle." The strong man rolled up his sleeves, pulled out the whip from his waist, and whipped it down hard, "Let you pretend, let you pretend." ”
The man, who was already covered in injuries, was so painful that he didn't even have the strength to roll, and fell to the ground and wailed continuously, so he was not miserable.
The rest of the prisoners were scratching their hearts, but there was nothing they could do. Although there were more than a dozen of them, they were bound by their hands and feet and their bodies were weak, while the five swordsmen who were guarding them were strong enough to kill them without any responsibility if they resisted.
"Get up, get up." The strong man was still whipping, and the poor prisoner's back was already blurred with blood.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the woods, and suddenly knocked the whip-wielding man over, and he fainted instantly.
It was a tall man who made the shot, he wore a mask, and he shot neatly. landed firmly in his hand, with an indescribable awe-inspiring temperament.
The other strong men found that something was wrong, and hurriedly drew their big knives, shouted and rushed over.
The man only carried a wooden stick in his hand, and although he struck first, he had no murderous intent. Several strong men looked hard, but they didn't go through three moves under the hands of the mysterious man, and they were beaten down one by one, and they didn't have to worry about their lives.
The prisoners were dumbfounded, and it wasn't until the mysterious man picked up the big knife on the ground and slashed their ropes that they realized and fell to their knees.
"Thank you for saving your life, thank you for saving your life."
These people have read more or less, and they have never done anything that hurts nature and reason, and it is a pity that they were exiled for the sake of establishing Liu Taishou's prestige.
"No thanks. Fend for yourselves. Tang Qixiang threw a bag of silver taels and left without looking back.
Seeing a bag of silver taels on the ground, those people couldn't help but let go of their pride, wept bitterly, and kowtowed again and again, "Xie Daxia, Xie Daxia." ”
Although this bag of silver taels can't let them return to a new happy life, it has the meaning of sending charcoal in the snow, and can let them live like a person.
Nanling City, inside the city gate.
When Xin Yi came to the outside of Nanling City, what he saw was a desolation, and there were still traces of blood hidden in the grass. She knew that there had been a war here, and that the enemy had come to the city more than once, forcing the people of the city to open the door.
I don't know what happened to the general defending the city now? Have you ever been injured in a battle with an enemy?
The closer Xin Yi got to the city gate, the more his thoughts surged. She made a decision, this time she wasn't going to sneak up on him, she was going to walk up to him in the open.
When she came to the city, Xin Yi reported her name, and it didn't take long for her to see Liu Jingxuan, who had always been steady, running towards him like a child and personally welcoming her into the city.
Because Nanling City is the main road to Jiankang City, it is still a relatively rich city when there is no war; However, because it was the main road to Jiankang City, the city was heavily damaged when the war swept through.
The people moved away as they could, leaving only those who did not want to move and those who could not.
"Why did it take so long for you to come, I almost wrote to urge you." Liu Jingxuan asked excitedly as soon as he came, but he was also dissatisfied.
"Princess Jin and Wang Shenai are fighting endlessly, and I don't dare to leave her for a while." Xin Yi explained.
"I heard about this, that Wang Shenai has been controlling Emperor Dezong for many years, controlling the government, so he is not majestic. Now that it is said that if it is knocked down, it will be brought down, and even the entire family will be uprooted, which must be thrilling. After Liu Jingxuan complimented him, he suddenly squinted his eyes, revealing a look of ill will, "Hey, go to my house and tell me about it." ”
Xin Yi glanced at him and said angrily, "This is a secret, you can't talk nonsense." ”
"Can't I say yet?"
"When ......" Xin Yigang wanted to refuse harshly, but he was afraid of breaking his heart, so he turned to euphemism, "I don't know either." ”
She's right next to Tianjin, how could she not know?
Liu Jingxuan raised his eyebrows, and he didn't embarrass her, "It's okay if you don't say it, then you can go to the house and listen to me talk about my heroic deeds in Texas." ”
Xin Yi couldn't help but give him a big roll of the eyes again, how could he not have found out that he was such a brazen person before.
"Fatigue, I want to rest." This time, Xin Yi sternly refused.
"Okay." Liu Jingxuan showed a disappointed expression, but smiled for a moment, "I'll talk about it when you're rested, hehe." ”
After all the way, as soon as he arrived in Nanling, he was warmly welcomed by Liu Jingxuan. Xin Yi looked pampered and unfazed on the surface, but he couldn't help but smile lightly, and his heart was warm.
Suddenly, the drums beat like thunder on the tower, and the soldiers under the corner of the wall quickly lined up, holding this spear and rushing up to the tower.
Xin Yi looked left and right, and the soldiers in the distance had also reacted quickly and made preparations to meet the enemy.
At this time, a soldier came to report, "General, Diao Hou is attacking again." ”
