Chapter 17

Wei Shuye's face was pale, and the thick phlegm hung disgustingly on the hem of his robe, but he didn't wipe it off, just pursed his lips, looking at the messy corpses and countless pairs of eyes full of hatred.

"Major General," Jiang He sighed, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "The empire does not have spare money to support these people, and the Council of Elders will not fund the construction of houses for them, you are the descendant of the Wei family, you must respect the wishes of the family and safeguard the interests of the family." ”

A scorching lava-like heat rampaged through Wei Shuye's chest, his eyes blood-red and silent. Jiang He frowned, waved his hand to the soldier, and nodded slightly. The soldiers received the order, and immediately raised their swords to continue killing.

"Bad guys!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded, and at the end of the crowd, a small face suddenly rose from his mother's arms, there were no tears on his face, but his eyes were red, and he shouted loudly, "Liar, you said that you would bring us to the imperial capital to live in a house without leakage, you said that you wanted to keep everyone fed and clothed, you said ......"

The sharp bow and arrow shot out instantly, and General Jiang He's archery was accurate, and in a blink of an eye, the words that were about to be said in the child's mouth were ended, and they shot into the mouth, and the blood came out from the back of the head!

"Do it!" Jiang He pulled out his sword and shouted angrily.

"Stop!"

The young major general suddenly collapsed in the child's words, rushed forward desperately, and pushed the two soldiers away.

Jiang He said angrily: "Catch the major general!" Several soldiers immediately rushed forward and used fighting techniques to hold Wei Shuye tightly.

The inhuman slaughter began suddenly, blood flowed everywhere, blood was mixed with mud, and the piercing screams of eagles were heard in the sky, adding to the breath of death to this terrible slaughter. A huge pit was dug up, hundreds of lifeless corpses were thrown into it, the sand was quickly filled, the soldiers rode their horses back and forth and trampled on it, and the goose-feather snow fell one after another, covering the ground in an instant with blood red, along with the unsightly sins and dehumanizing ugliness, and buried them deeply.

The young and handsome prince of the Zhenhuang Imperial Capital, with a prominent family background and a high position, lost his temper in front of his subordinates and lost his mind for a group of low-status untouchables.

"Major General," Jiang He stepped forward, looked at the man with his eyes straight into the snow, and said in a deep voice, "You shouldn't be like this, they are all lowly races, with lowly blood on their bodies, you shouldn't disobey Lord Wei for them." Your uncle has high expectations for you, and without you, the Wei Lord's disciples in Dianjiangtang are leaderless, and we are all waiting for you to come back. ”

Seeing that Wei Shuye did not react, Jiang He sighed lightly, retreated with the team, and suddenly the war horse galloped.

After a while, they were no longer visible in the wasteland.

The young man stood there for a long time, the snow was falling heavily, and this Zhengyuan Festival was so cold.

The two children, who were hiding behind the snowy slope, were surprised to see the noble Major General Wei suddenly kneeling down to the vast earth, bowing heavily to the dead creatures, then turning on his horse and galloping away neatly.

For a long time, the heavy snow still had no intention of stopping. The child moved his frozen hands and feet and staggered forward.

"What are you doing?" Yan Xun was startled and stood up in astonishment.

The child turned his head, his face was calm, but there was a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes, "I am a lowly race, with lowly blood flowing on my body, you and I should not be standing in one place, since we are not on the same path, it is better to part ways as soon as possible." ”

The cold moon was desolate, and the child's figure was so young, but Yan Xun looked at it from a distance, but suddenly felt that her back was so tall that she could hold up this rotten world. The snow was like cotton, and the footprints on the snow gradually pulled away, heading straight towards the heart of the Great Xia Empire.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Just when the Great Xia Dynasty kept saying that there was no money to support the alien homeless people and killed the killers, the flower wine market in the inner city was singing and dancing, fragrant and fragrant, and there was a drunken gold fan. The beauty waist is like a willow, the skin is like jade, the voice is charming, the jade arms are plump, and the elders of Daxia who have "worked hard" for a day have taken off their elegant clothes and clothes in the daytime here, and they are wandering.

Outside the door, the snow trees are hanging, the silk is fluttering, the lights of various colors are burning, and the Shangyuan Festival is celebrated by the whole country, including these women who are wandering in the dust. At this moment, the rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly shattered the rouge dream of Wei Guang, the head of the Wei valve, and the old man with a snow-white long beard but still handsome narrowed his eyes narrowed his eyes, waved his hand and retreated from the more than ten women with bright makeup who were surrounding him in front of him.

Wei Guang picked up the teacup, took a deep breath, and slowly leaned back on the soft couch.

The incense burner is full of incense, and the incense is gently wafting above, shaped like a thin dragon, straight up, looking through them, everything seems a little blurry.

A subordinate's respectful voice sounded outside the door, "My lord, Master Shu Ye is here." ”

It's time to come, the old man raised his eyebrows lightly, a little earlier than he expected, and wasted Yu Niang's troubled flattery. The old man's voice was low, and he said slowly, "Let him in." ”

The door was open on the side, and a moon-white robe with a simple style, so simple that it almost didn't look like a nobleman's should flash into the No. 1 box of Tianzi in the Shihua Wine Market, Major General Shu Ye's face was gloomy, and he said thoughtlessly: "Why? ”

Of course, Wei Guang knew what he was referring to, his eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't even look at him, and said slowly: "I don't know how to salute when I see an elder, is this the politeness I have taught you for so many years?" ”

Wei Shuye frowned slightly, the candle flame in the corner of the wall crackled and burst out a spark, time passed quietly, and the young major general finally lowered his head, "Uncle." ”

"Not everything in this world can be divided into right and wrong, Jing'er is younger than you, but at this point, you have to learn from him."

Wei Shuye's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Then why did you send me, I promised them ......"

"You are the next heir of the Wei family, the head of the Seven Great Lords of Great Xia, with the blood of the ancestors' gold in your body, you are a noble nobleman of the empire, and you don't need to make any promises to a group of untouchables with low blood. The purpose of their lives is to die at the right time and to die for the Empire. You didn't do anything wrong, you don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to come here to question your uncle at this time. The old man interrupted Shu Ye's words, and said in a low voice, his voice was sonorous, like a broken golden stone.

Wei Shuye shook his head, frowned and said, "Uncle, you didn't teach me like this before. ”

"It's just because I was as innocent as you were that your father died in the infighting of the gatekeeper." Wei Guang opened his eyes, there was a sharp edge in his old eyes flashing fiercely, he slowly turned his head, looked at Wei Shuye tightly, and said word by word, "The winner is king, the weak eat the strong, this world is like this." Ye'er, after so many years, don't you still understand? ”

"Uncle," Wei Shuye said with a serious face, "The empire needs people to go to the west to reclaim the wilderness, and all the young and strong people of their clan are going west because they believe in me, why can't the elders take care of their families?" They followed me all the way back to the imperial capital because you promised me that you would build them a permanent residence at the foot of the Red River. They gave up their home, their nomadic nature, because I promised them personally! Wei Shuye excitedly picked up the small tuanxiang in front of Wei Guang's desk and said sharply, "You said that the empire has no money to support them, but what is this?" This is the golden incense of Huai Song, only one ball is worth 200 gold baht! Two hundred gold baht is enough for their family to live for ten years! ”

Wei Guang's face remained unchanged, calmly listening to Wei Shuye venting his dissatisfaction, the air was tense and full of the anger of the young man. After a long time, the old man smiled lightly and said slowly: "Ye'er, you and Major General Zhilu of Dianjiangtang went to supervise the civil unrest in the north but returned miserably, Major General Zhilu was stripped of his rank and locked up in the torture hall and still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, but you can stand here and make a big noise with me, what is the reason?" ”

Wei Shuye was stunned for a moment, his angry expression froze on his face, and he was speechless.

"The reason why you are still standing here intact is because your surname is Wei. I know that you sympathize with those untouchables and reject the distinction between ranks, but no matter how disgusted you are with this identity, you are a descendant of the Wei family after all, and you are my Wei Guang's nephew, and everything you have enjoyed since you were a child was brought to you by the gate valve. What you eat, eat, eat, shelter, and status you eat is all due to your family, and you will never be able to change this. Those who enjoy all this in peace are not qualified to abhor and curse it. Wei Guang took a deep breath, leaned back on the couch, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his voice was low, with a hint of heavy vicissitudes, "Everything in this world has a reason for its existence. The reason why the Wei family slaughtered the Benta clan today, rather than the Benta clan slaughtering the Wei people, is because the Wei family has been constantly fighting for the interests of the family since the beginning of their ancestors. Over the past three hundred years, the Wei family has guarded the country, reclaimed the frontier, entered the dynasty and left the country, and made countless meritorious contributions. When the Benta people were leisurely herding horses and sheep, the children of the Wei family had begun to learn the art of cavalry and archery, began to learn the way of doing business, and began to evade the cold arrows and plots in the open and in the dark. So many years later, the Wei family was one of the seven major lords, but Benta was going to send the frontier and the clan was destroyed. Children, God is very fair, never favors anyone, they lose because they have not paid enough. No one can curse the bullying of the strong because of their weakness, and if they want not to be killed, they can only become stronger. You are here today to sympathize with them, have you ever thought that if the descendants of the Wei family are like you, the ones who die outside Zhenhuang City today are your brothers and sisters. ”

Wei Shuye stood in place, his brows furrowed, and he wanted to say something, but he felt that his chest seemed to be fiercely suppressed by a boulder, and he couldn't speak.

Wei Guang slowly stood up and reached out to pat Wei Shuye's shoulder, "Ye'er, uncle is already old, and he can't protect you for long, and when uncle is not there in the future, who will protect the family?" Who will protect my children from being killed? Who will protect my daughter from being toyed with? Who will protect them? You? ”

The door was wide open, and the noisy sound of silk and bamboo came in leisurely, and the aroma was intoxicating and dizzy. The old man's footsteps faded away. Wei Shuye straightened his back, feeling the pain of burning in his shoulder, where it was pressed by an invisible mountain, a burden that he tried so hard to escape but couldn't get rid of after all.

The night was dark, but it couldn't darken the fog in his heart, and those invisible ghosts and ghosts roamed in his thoughts, devouring his reason, struggling to no avail, and finally sighed and were speechless.
