Chapter 7: Wave after Wave

"It must be the news of my father's defeat of the rebels!" Qiu Yiru hurriedly ran to receive the order.

Jiang Zhiyong frowned: "How can the good news be...... Ru'er! ”

All the family members are kneeling in the courtyard to listen to the order.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The criminal Akiya Wind intends to rebel. In this order, the family property was confiscated, the strong men were confiscated into the army, the female dependents were returned to the Department of Education, and the rest were all distributed to the frontier. Chin this. ”

Mrs. Qiu's eyes were dark and unconscious.

"Mother!" Qiu Yiru was about to pull it, but she was forcibly dragged away.

"Mother-"

"Stop!" Jiang Zhiyong shouted.

"Yo, this is not Prime Minister Jiang's eldest son! The old slave has seen ......"

"Father-in-law, what happened?"

"General Qiu was dizzy, he was about to take down the rebels, but he ordered a retreat, and the emperor wantonly contradicted when he asked for the crime, you say, can the emperor not be angry and rush to the crown?"

"That's not going to rob the house......"

"Don't dare to talk nonsense!" The father-in-law hurriedly interrupted, "We don't dare to comment on the emperor's will casually!" ”

"Then there's no room for recovery?"

The father-in-law shook his head.

With an order, the Qiu family no longer got married.

When "Brother Jiang......" was taken away, Qiu Yiru looked helpless.

Jiang Zhiyong watched, but there was nothing he could do, he only secretly clenched his fists.

Red Maple Mountain

A deserted village crouches silently at the foot of a mountain.

The house was dilapidated, blackened, and the corpses were scattered everywhere, and the knives and axes were broken.

"Oh my God! This ......," He Yun said worriedly.

A gust of wind blew, the scorched grass swayed weakly, and the river sighed and flowed by, not daring to make too much noise.

"This is Red Maple Village." Pin Qilei took a step forward.

He Yunwu couldn't help but reddened his eyes: "Ling Ran ......"

"That's it! Let's go up the hill. ”

He Yunwu retreated, "I said so many things that hurt her that day......"

"No, no! I'm looking for her! ”

"Come back! Bai Minguo, are you still going? ”

"Don't go!"

"Okay, you kid, I'll go!" "You go, let's go!" ”

Without saying a word, He Yunwu turned around and ran.

"Heyβ€”you're really leaving!"

Ling Ran...... I'm sorry...... He Yun said worriedly.

I thought you were fickle and irresponsible.

I thought you were acting recklessly and recklessly.

Actually, I was wrong, you have always wanted to suppress hatred, but how can you suppress the hatred in the sea of blood! So you stop and go, hovering between revenge and remorse.

If you want to take revenge, you will kill the enemy with your hands, and you will be happy.

You don't want to take revenge, hatred is like a scar, you can uncover it once you mention it, and it hurts your heart every time.

Lu Ran, I will not leave for the rest of my life, and I will follow you.

Wait for me......

Outside the city of Xuanzhou

Zhu Jianxi sneered: "This emperor is really interesting, he is also a general, so he killed him and raided his house." Pity him for his life in Autumn Valley, and finally fell into disrepute. ”

I sighed.

"What are you 'sighing' about?"

"It's sad to make a mistake from the bottom of my heart. And his family, innocently affected. ”

"He's a faint king! You see, I've hit the bottom of the palace, and I'm still thinking about letting those female dependents enter the Sect Division. ”

"The trapped beast is still fighting, he wants to revive the emperor's prestige."

"Hmph, grasshopper after autumn, I don't think he will be able to jump in a few days."

Inside the Royal Palace

"Jiang Aiqing? What are you looking for? ”

"Your Majesty, the dog recently discussed a problem with Weichen, and there is no solution so far. Thinking that the emperor's intelligence is unmatched, I came to inquire. ”

The emperor was very useful, and said with satisfaction: "There will be less sycophants, and what problems will be directly discussed." ”

"Your Majesty. When threshing grain, it is inevitable that there will be spoiled grain, but it has been mixed with good grain, should it be poured out completely, or carefully sorted out when washing? ”

"Aiqing is confused!" The emperor smiled, "Naturally, it is picked out." ”

"Yes. The Emperor Shengming. That's exactly what Inuko thinks. ”

"It's called teachable."

"The emperor praised falsely. The dog also uses people as an example...... Alas, now that I think about it, Weichen is really confused, and he thinks that ......"

"Take people as an example?" The emperor was full of interest, "I'll listen." ”

He likened grain to man, and grain to man's work. Good millet is what is done, and bad millet is what fails. ”

The Emperor smiled.

"If you don't succeed in something, you have to deny the whole person, it's really stupid!"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor took the case, "Who are you scolding?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Jiang Cheng knelt down, "General Qiu has been fighting for many years, invincible, and he was in a different place just because of a mistake, which is not worth it!" ”

"Moreover, it is the autumn of survival at stake, and it is urgent to appease people's hearts, not to kill wantonly!"

"Shut up!"

"Your Majesty! General Qiu is dead, it is a foregone conclusion, irretrievable, and I hope to take back the holy order and forgive his family! ”

"Do you want to die too!"

"Weichen came this time, just to admonish each other with death, even if the fate is the same as General Qiu, he will not hesitate!"

"Good, good, good! It's the other way around! One or two, it's all reversed! The emperor said angrily, "The soldiers are coming to the city, I am in danger, and if I retreat, the rebels can attack the city at any time......"

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Jiang shouted, "Now, are you still thinking about yourself?" Are you at stake? And what about your people? ”

"I'll kill you!" The emperor was so angry that he drew his sword and slashed at him.

Prime Minister Jiang closed his eyes, his sword entered his chest, and blood splattered.

The emperor glared, puzzled, and even a little at a loss.

"You're not hiding?"

"The king let his ministers die...... Minister...... Had to die. The body fell to the ground with a bang.

The emperor was dizzy for a long time, then came back to his senses and screamed fiercely: "The crime cannot be punished!" ”

"Spread my will, Jiang Qi Hall will stab in front of the palace and copy his whole family!"

Outside the city of Xuanzhou

A pair of bloody armor lay in the tent, and we lifted the curtain and entered.

"His name is Qian Twelve, and he joined the army a year ago." Next to the soldier's road.

"Where's the body?" Zhu Jianxi asked.

"No, only this pool of blood."

I said anxiously, "His birthday? ”

"The first day of the new year."

"New Year's Day? New Year's Day! Zhu Jianxi rushed out of the tent.

When I came out, the tailless cat had been pinched in her hand.

"Sister Jian Xi spares her life, I don't dare anymore."

"Don't dare? What did you say to me that day? That's how you repay the favor? ”

"I couldn't help it."

"Can't hold back? I didn't hold back and went to eat the emperor's old man! What is it for you to eat him! ”

"I ......"

"What about the cat?" Zhu Jianxi asked.

At this time, a cat jumped out from behind the tent, yawned and said, "Who called me?" ”

"Why don't you like it!"

"I ......"

"It-" I immediately stood in front of it, "it's just a little tail, could it be the Great Demon King?" ”

It rubbed my skirt gratefully. The tailless cat rolled its eyes at it: "Like gathers like things." ”

"Say it again!"

"The smell is the same!"

"Shut up!"

"A raccoon dog!"

"Annoying, no, annoying cat!"

"Jackal, Tiger and Leopard ......"

"Don't talk about your little ancestor!" Zhu Jianxi shook it, "It's not a shame!" ”

"Sister Jian Xi......"

"Don't call me! I'm going to throw you away! ”

"I swear I'll never eat people again!"

"It's useless! I don't believe you! ”

The tailless cat looked at Zhu Jianxi pitifully, and Zhu Jianxi felt numb for a while: "Don't look at me with such eyes!" ”

"Sister Jian Xi, I beg you, I beg you to die, forgive me one last time?"

What wording...... Zhu Jianxi thought and said, "Really no one eats?" ”

"Really, really, including that crazy woman."

I...... Crazy?

"Who are you scolding, your sister is the big shrew!"

"Your sister is crazy!"

"Your sister is a big shrew!"

"Your sister ......"

"Shut up!" Zhu Jianxi and I spoke in unison.

They had been staring at us with round eyes and bowed hair, but now they wilted and looked at us timidly, and when they saw that we were silent, they ran away in a gray manner, whispering as they ran.

"Let's fight!"

"Who's afraid of whom!"

"Who's afraid of who's a dog!"

The sound faded away.

"Lu Ran, I didn't have time to think about it when I saw you that day. You're not just coming to me for revenge, are you? ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, it's weird."

I looked her in the eye: "You doubt me? ”

"Don't you doubt me? You said you trusted me to kill the emperor that day, but now you are back and watching. ”

"Mo Lingran, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

"I'm really bored with myself." I turned and left.

"Stop!" She stopped me, "I don't like what I say, but your inconsistent behavior is indeed suspicious." ”

I smiled wryly.

That night, the moonlight shone brightly, draped in a light veil for everything.

I sat down in front of the tent and pondered.

"Sister Ling Ran?" The kitten crept into my arms and touched me with its tail.

"What are you thinking? Are you giving me a name? ”

I smiled and touched it: "Yes, what's it called?" ”

"You called me Little Tail in a hurry today, why?"

"What do you say?"

"Because I am." It smirked, "Then call it that." ”

"Okay, Little Tail."

"Sister Ling Ran, you don't seem to be happy, can you tell me?"

"Don't worry, my sister is very good."

"My sister lied. I know my sister is suspicious of the big shrew, she's a suspicious monster. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"I also knew that because it was difficult to explain, my sister wanted to prove that she was worthy of being trusted with her actions. Yes, right? ”

"Yes, little Ghost. But I haven't ...... yet."

"I can help you." It leaped over my shoulder and whispered, "We're ...... like this."

"Okay, Sister Ling Ran?"

"Maybe it can be done."

The next day, inside the palace

The emperor got up: "Dao Chief, what you said is true?" Can I really be king forever? ”

At the bottom of the stairs, a Taoist priest in plain clothes touched his beard: "Naturally." This is the land of the dragon vein, the head is auspicious and the clouds are caught, and the feet are on the earth. It's just ......"

"Speak quickly!"

"Your Majesty, the poor road is terrified, and I dare not speak falsely."

"Say! I forgive you for your innocence! ”

"The emperor's seal hall is black, I'm afraid the deadline is coming."

"Paradoxical!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry! This is a catastrophe, once the catastrophe is successful, you will be able to live forever in the future, and you are the only one in the world. ”

"So, how am I going to survive the catastrophe?"

"Time is pressing, you must take 100 hearts of rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, turtles, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs within two days, and refine them into pills, and you can avoid all calamities."

"Nonsense! Say something else! ”

"There is indeed another method, that is, to replace the above items with an immortal, throw them into the furnace, turn them into blood water, and drink them with the same effect."

"What an immortal! Where do you want me to find it? ”

"Don't look for it, the girl who will help you ask for rain is it."

"How do you know?"

"Poor Dao still knows that she is outside the city gate at this time."

The emperor only felt a chill in his back. Isn't she dead?

"Yes, but she came back from the dead."

"Can you hear what I'm thinking?"

The Taoist priest smiled but did not speak.

Soon, I was taken to the palace.

This, a place that has been there.

A few days later, the furnace was cast.

It was night, the wind was whining, and the clouds were rolling in a ball. The leaves of the four thousand troops and horses, the noise is endless. The insects stopped singing, hiding in fear, but there was no way to avoid it. The grass waves are surging, not inferior to the waves on the sea, and the back waves roll up the front waves and smash to the ground.

I was tied up and carried to the emperor, who looked cold, but smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Put." He opened his lips and couldn't help laughing.

I was thrown into the stove.

Scald!

I reflexively jumped up, but was pressed straight down by the heavy lid.

I immediately cast a spell and covered my whole body with water.

"Sister Ling Ran, when the time comes, I will let the emperor open the furnace alone, and you rush out and kill him directly!"

"Maybe it can be done."

The temperature in the furnace was getting higher and higher, and I was still unbearably hot through the water. Covered in sweat. It's more like hot oil is rolling into the body, and all the internal organs are burning.

I cast another spell, and the water was covered with ice. Suddenly, the heat was slightly isolated, and the pain was much lessened.

It seems that the vicissitudes of life have been in the sea for so long, the physical strength has been lost sharply, and the ice is getting thinner and thinner. The water is boiling, the steam is scorching, and the temperature has risen more than a few summers.

How...... Don't open the furnace yet...... I can't take it anymore.

"Your Majesty, it's really good, it's fast. You believe in poverty. ”

In a trance, the sound of the little tail came to my ears. I'm a spirit, sober several times.

"Your Majesty, this is a heavenly opportunity, and it can only be effective if you open the furnace alone."

"Your Majesty! Emperor! You can't take a weapon, it's not religious! ”

"yes, just lift it up like that."

Good! Brace oneself! I shook my head, and I was on the verge of success.

Outside the window, lightning exploded.

Inside, the lid of the stove is slowly opened.

"Boom-"

A bright light pierced into my eyes, and with the pain of gouging my eyes, I-

"What about people? Where did it go? The emperor was furious, kicked over the stove, and pinched the Taoist priest's neck, "See for yourself!" ”

The Taoist priest was thrown out of half a zhang, and his tongue could not be bridged, and he almost got into it, but he could never find anyone.

"Sister, sister?" He has six gods and no master, "sister ......"

The emperor tugged on his back and smoked: "You dare to play tricks!" Go to hell! ”

With a "bang", the Taoist priest was slammed to the ground, and suddenly the skin and bones in the hall were opened!

"What is this?"

A foot away, there was a charred comb.

The Emperor laughed wildly, his eyes bloodshot, and threw the comb out of the house.
