Chapter 60: The Heart Is Colder Than Ice
Section 537
The wind and snow are vast, and the dripping water turns into ice.
Shen Zangfeng's heart was colder than ice.
He looked at Shen Yongkun, who was covered in blood, in disbelief and horror, and asked word by word: "You, say, what?" ”
Shen Yunkun's eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with snow and frozen, and he could barely see the brother in front of him. In fact, he didn't want to see Shen Zangfeng's expression clearly now - he didn't want to see anything, he didn't want to hear or speak, but he had to watch, listen, and talk......
However, in the past three days, Shen Liugongzi, who has always "ridden a horse and leaned on the bridge, and is full of red sleeves", has long since lost his graceful and suave old days. The edges of his tattered robe were red ice, and there was a new wound on his cheek that was more than two inches wide, which was obviously untreated after the injury, and had already revealed traces of frostbite, adding three points of murder and fierceness to his original temperament. He slowly handed over Shen Shuguang, who was glazed in his arms, and said in a low voice: "My father is dead, my uncle is also dead, the eldest brother asked to stay in the imperial capital, and the second brother was seriously injured, let me take Guang'er to you or our family's 20,000 Xiliang troops in Gyeonggi first......"
"What about the fourth, seventh, and eighth brothers? Mother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Chang Ying, fourth brother and sister, sixth brother and sister, second sister, third sister and fourth sister-" Shen Zangfeng subconsciously took his son, hugged him tightly, but continued to ask in a deep voice, "There are also Jing'er, Rou'er, and Yue'er...... Yi'er and Liu'er...... Xie'er?! ”
As if he had a premonition, Shen Zangfeng's eyes gradually became blood-red!
Shen Jikun smiled tiredly and blankly: "We didn't bring any female dependents when we left, as for the nephews...... Before leaving, the second sister-in-law wanted the second brother to take Rou'er, so she killed Yi'er, and the second brother killed the second sister-in-law in a rage, and Rou'er went crazy when she saw it...... Liu Er was tied to his body by the fourth brother, and the fourth brother fell from the horse with an arrow halfway through, and took him down as well. In order to save them, my uncle was chopped into meat by several Rong people...... As for Xie'er......"
He looked sad and said in a low voice, "Yesterday, it was easy to get rid of the pursuers, and I found a sheltered place to relieve him from the wind, but I found that I ...... The dead man who took him was afraid that he would catch the cold, so he wrapped him in several layers of robes, but he didn't pay attention to blocking his breathing...... At that time, I didn't know that I would see you today, so I buried it in the snow, and the second brother made a mark. ”
After a pause, seeing that Shen Zangfeng's whole body was trembling, Shen Jikun hurriedly reminded, "You hug Guang'er!" If it weren't for his teaching Zhu Lei who blocked three arrows for him yesterday, the second brother also took one arrow for him...... He also ...... He seems to be frightened, you better hurry up and let the military doctor show him! ”
“…… Where is the second brother? Shen Zangfeng closed his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
Shen Yongkun pointed in the direction of the oblique back: "Although the second brother was hit by an arrow, it was next to the vital point, and it was not appropriate to move at this moment, so let me take the dead man who could still ride a horse and escort Guang'er to the west." He must be in a col over there, but the people who go to pick him up should be careful, and we will help him set some traps as we go, hoping to delay the speed of the Rong people's pursuit. ”
…… arranged for his henchmen to take the elite to pick up Shen Jishi, instructed the scouts to pay attention to searching for the traces of the nearby Rong people, ordered to temporarily camp on the spot, and called the accompanying military doctor to diagnose and treat his younger brother and eldest son - in the middle of this, Shen Zangfeng was always calm, his eyes were as firm as iron, and his orders were orderly, except for the gaffes when he heard Shen Jikun tell the results of the breakthrough for the first time. Let the 300,000 troops who came from Xiliang and marched all the way gradually calm down due to the uproar caused by the death of the lord at first sight - although Shen Zangfeng is young, his well-planned and slashed Mu Shuer's record makes them believe that this young lord is by no means incompetent, even if the Shen Xuan brothers are both dead, following Shen Zangfeng may not have no future.
It's just that after listening to the accompanying military doctor's physical diagnosis of Shen Yongkun and Shen Shuguang, he waved them away, and when Shen Zangfeng was left alone in the main tent except for Shen Yongkun and Shen Shuguang, Shen Zangfeng, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly shook his body!
He struggled to hold on to the bookcase in the tent, and after a burst of dizziness, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood!
"Childe!" Shen Die, who was fetching hot water, was shocked when he was serving Shen Yongkun and Shen Shuguanghuan, threw away the handkerchief that had just been twisted, got up quickly, and walked over to hug Shen Zangfeng, "The little one is going to call the doctor over!" ”
"Wait!" Shen Zangfeng closed his eyes, as if trying to calm the blood in his chest, and said in a hoarse voice, "Clean up the bloodstains, hurry up!" ”
Shen Diedao: "...... doctor?" ”
"No need to call it." Cold sweat oozed from Shen Zangfeng's forehead, he opened his eyes, his expression was as cold as ice, "Don't let anyone know about this." ”
Shen Di seemed to have something to say, but not far away, Shen Yongkun, who had wrung a handkerchief to wipe his face and hands for his nephew, raised his head and said softly: "Shen Die, are you confused?" After my father and uncle died, the eldest brother stayed in the imperial capital, the second brother was seriously injured, and I was recognized as the last surviving of the brothers...... This sect has withered so far, if the third brother reports the news of vomiting blood again, how can the military outside not be suspicious? This news must be withheld! ”
"But ...... Childe's body?" Shen Di hurriedly said, "If you don't heal, what if you leave a secret injury?" "How could he not know that Ming Peitang could only count on Shen Zangfeng now? But Shen Zangfeng's anger and excessive grief and anger when he heard the bad news at first glance, if he is not diagnosed and treated, once he falls into a dark injury, he will form a chronic disease...... Although Shen Zangfeng's eldest son survived this time, not to mention that he would look stupid and stupid, Shen Shuguang was only six years old! It will take at least ten or twenty years to support the family business!
Shen Yongkun glanced at his brother, whose eyebrows were tightly locked, and it seemed that he hadn't heard Shen Die's words at all, lowered his voice and reprimanded: "Stupid! Won't you quietly tell the doctor to keep it secret, and to the outside world, just count the medicine on me and my second brother? ”
Shen Lie breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Shen Zangfeng worriedly, and turned away.
"Third brother, take care more, now, our family depends on you." There were only two brothers left in the tent and a frightened Shen Shuguang, whose expression was too frightened, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a heavy one.
Shen Yongkun picked up his nephew, walked behind the screen, put him on Shen Zangfeng's couch, covered the brocade quilt and retreated, walked to Shen Zangfeng, who was sitting on the case, and said in a low voice.
Suddenly, his feet went limp, and he suddenly fell on the stump at Shen Zangfeng's feet. is such a big person, but it seems to have returned to the time when the two of them were less than ten years old, in the imperial capital, in the garden of the Taifu Mansion, for a trivial matter...... He just tugged at the corners of Shen Zangfeng's robe, suppressed the sound of howling and crying, and burst into tears!
"There's a mole." Shen Zangfeng also burst into tears, gently lowered his arm, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a dumb voice.
Shen Yongkun cried for a while before he stopped sobbing and said blankly: "You mean the city is broken?" My father and uncle were skeptical, but ...... The city was destroyed so quickly that there was no time to investigate. ”
"I'm talking about breakout." Shen Zangfeng raised his sleeves and wiped his face indiscriminately, pointed to the seat not far away, motioned for his younger brother to sit down and said, "I don't have a female dependent, I have a divine horse, except for a few children who have not yet grown into a very light body, there is no burden!" At that time, most of the Rong people were still concentrated in the West Gate to attack the city, and a large number of people blocked the road and dispersed the Rong people in the back. With your martial arts and the skills of our family's dead soldiers, it is impossible to break through in this situation, and it is impossible to suffer such heavy casualties! ”
"Unless the Rong people already knew that you would leave from the east gate, they sent people to ambush at the east gate in advance, specifically staring at you to chase and kill." Shen Zangfeng's eyes were still red, but his expression gradually became cold, and he asked, "Did the Rong people who chased and killed you bite you at the beginning, or did they kill them halfway?" ”
Shen Yongkun's face changed, and he thought for a moment, but said dejectedly: "I don't know!" ”
Seeing Shen Zangfeng frowning, he explained, "I have never been in charge of things, I was nominally going to sharpen in Xiliang before, but when I went, the Di people had already calmed down, not to mention that even if I didn't calm down, I might not be willing to go into battle with my idleness at that time." So...... This was the first time I had seen the chaos in the midst of the army. I was even thrown from my mount a few times when I was out of the city, if it weren't for the dead guards...... So I didn't have time to look at the front and back, so I just followed my father. ”
His voice lowered, "After my father's accident, I followed my second brother." I just remember that it was very chaotic and chaotic, and as for when the Rong people started to hunt and kill, I ...... I really don't notice. On the first day of the first lunar month, there were a lot of people who retreated from the east gate, and if one was not careful, they would be scattered, and I was afraid that I would be dragged by the crowd to some unknown place. So...... The stray arrows are blocked by dead soldiers, and the Rong people catch up with the dead soldiers, and I only care about keeping up. And then there are fewer and fewer dead men running and running......"
"Even if you didn't notice, I don't think I'm wrong." Shen Zangfeng said coldly, "The Rong people attacked the West Gate and set up an ambush at the East Gate to intercept and kill the noble clan, especially the people of my Shen family are probably in the middle of the key pursuit, so they will chase and kill you all the way to this point!" In this way, the south gate and the north gate are very easy to break through...... Eight times out of ten. Nine is that in order to break through with more certainty, some people in the city used the holy car and the nobles of the city as bait to ensure that they went calmly!
”
He asked, "Why did all the families have to go through the east gate at that time, why didn't they disperse the three gates and go to each of them?" ”
"Because the Xuanjia Guard will answer a hundred miles outside the east gate." Shen Yongkun said abruptly, "But after we left the city, we found that there were too many Rong people, and continuing to the east was just looking for death." I had to turn to ...... Later, he was chased and killed so much that he couldn't care about the direction at all, and could only run when he saw the road. If it weren't for the scouts you threw out this time, I would have even wanted to take Guang'er south to Fengzhou. ”
After saying this, he suddenly found that Shen Zangfeng's originally cold face suddenly turned into rage!
"Third brother?" Shen Yongkun was stunned.
I only listened to Shen Zangfeng's word for word: "Nearly 40,000 of the 100,000 Xuanjia guards mutinied in the three days after the emperor's siege, including the Xuanjia guard!" They privately concluded an alliance with the exiles of Huoxian County, fabricated military information, and lured another 60,000 Xuanjia guards into a heavy siege, almost killed and wounded! It is said that in the end, only a few thousand people escaped from Huoxian, but they were unable to return to the imperial capital, and even lost all their baggage and had to move closer to Yanzhou...... It was after I received this news that I discussed with my uncle, burned the Yanzhou warehouse, and led my troops to forcibly break through! One to Xiliang, one to Qingzhou to move troops! ”
"What?!" Shen Yikun was frightened to death and jumped up from his seat, "Then ...... this news?" ”
"Who said that?!"
"I don't know!" Shen Jikun's fists were so clenched that the joints crackled, his eyes were almost dripping blood, and he gasped, "Xuanjiawei answered the news outside the east gate, or was he waiting for the east gate to open, the fourth brother asked my uncle, I listened to it next to me. At that time, it was such an urgent juncture, of course, what did my father say about what we should do...... I didn't even ask my father! ”
He muttered, "However, when the grain and grass in the imperial capital were burned and the West Gate was in an emergency, the Holy Lord convened a great court, and my father and several important ministers went into the palace to discuss. After leaving the palace, he took us to the east gate together! ”
Shen Zangfeng had murderous intent in his eyes: "Then when the Great Dynasty is held, apart from my father, who should have arrived, which family did not leave from the East Gate?!" Including the Holy Drive! ”
"There were too many people at that time, and I only saw my grandfather's family, my sister-in-law's family, my second sister-in-law's family, and my rich family." Shen Yunkun said in a deep voice, "But the Holy Driver is also there-although the Holy Lord has not shown up, but the eldest son of the Emperor is naughty, and he lifted the curtain in the middle to look out, and it was re-pulled down after the Holy Lord scolded him." ”
"Yes...... Shen Zangfeng suddenly frowned, swallowed another mouthful of blood quietly, relieved his breath, and said lightly, "The first priority now is to find my father, uncle, and brothers and nephews first...... Remains. Later, the imperial capital was recovered. Since we are still alive, we always have to ask for the account! ”
Beneath the bookcase, his slender fingers clenched a sachet that had not been removed even though his armor was on his body.
The workmanship of the sachet is not very exquisite, but the materials are exquisite, every stitch and thread are extremely careful, and the pattern on the top is very simple, but there are only a few bamboo leaves...... It is the same as the embroidery pattern on the purple robe that Shen Shuguang landed on the imperial capital that he could no longer wear.
When he was still in Xiliang, Shen Zangfeng saw his wife making clothes for his eldest son, made a few jokes, and asked for one for himself, but was scolded by Wei Changying...... In the end, there will be such a sachet.
After several years and thousands of miles, now the sachet is as new, but his wife is gone...... The second son, who had never gotten along with the Communist Party for a few months, and the child he personally named "Shu Xie" was gone...... The prosperous family in the Taifu Mansion is all ......
Shen Jikun seemed to be talking, and the eldest son behind the screen seemed to be screaming and crying - but Shen Zangfeng couldn't hear anything clearly, and the dizziness in his brain became worse and worse......
"Third brother!" He finally heard Shen Yikun's exclamation in a different tone! , the fastest update of the latest chapter of this book, refreshing, I hope you can like it.
