Chapter 19: A Declaration of Vengeance
Hearing the rooster singing outside the house, Li Jingchang sat up from the bed, in fact, the sky outside the house was just bright, and the hour was still early, and Li Jingchang actually didn't think of it so early, but he was old and felt less.
Thinking of all the things during this time, Li Jingchang had a feeling of exhaustion, even if he woke up, he still felt extremely heavy on his body, he rubbed his sour shoulders, and was about to turn around and get out of bed, but when he turned his head, he happened to see a figure in the center of Wuzi, sitting at the table.
The sky had just dawned, and the room was still very dark at this time, Li Jingchang thought that he was dizzy and misunderstood, so he blinked his eyes and looked at it again, but he really found that there was a person sitting in the room, and he was startled.
Soon, Li Jingchang calmed down, although he didn't know what the other party was about, but since he didn't kill him at the first time, it is estimated that his life is worry-free for the time being.
"Who is sitting there, what is the reason for coming to Li's house?"
Hearing Li Lao's words, the person in the shadow sneered, hearing this sneer, Li Jingchang's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, and he wanted to take a closer step to see what was going on for a while, but he forgot that he was still sitting on the bed and almost fell down.
"Island ...... Owner, you're still alive!"
"What, Elder Li, do you still expect me to die, and then I won't appear in front of your eyes for the rest of my life?"
Hearing Qu Yitong's words, Li Jingchang was suddenly dumbfounded, he struggled for a long time before he finally remembered what he wanted to do, so he quickly climbed down from the bed, and then knelt down in front of Qu Yitong with a plop.
"Island master, the old slave is guilty, the old slave is guilty!"
Looking at the old man in front of him, trembling and trembling, but he was extremely pious, Qu Yitong was slightly surprised, and even wanted to laugh.
"Elder Li, what you said is strange? Obviously, you have successfully preserved the people of Yingzhou City and the hundreds of years of inheritance of my East Island, but what is the crime?"
Hearing Qu Yitong's words, Li Jingchang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know whether she was talking in her heart or ridiculing herself, so she suddenly leaned down and bowed, and the whole person almost stuck to the ground.
"The island owner, the old slave is guilty, the old slave also heard the news of the death of the island owner, after thinking twice, determined to protect the people of a city, so he ordered to open the city gate and accept the control of the Dahua Army, if the island owner really thinks that we have betrayed the East Island, it is also my responsibility, to kill or chop, it is also my Li Jingchang deserved, and please let the island owner let others go, let go of the people in the city. ”
Hearing Li Jingchang's words, Qu Yitong was silent for a while, seeing that there was no sound, Li Jingchang still didn't dare to raise his head, he was worried in his heart, the sweat was low, but he still didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.
"Elder Li, in your eyes, am I such a murderous person?"
"The old slave didn't dare to ......"
"Who told you I'm dead?"
Hearing Qu Yitong's tone softened slightly, Li Jingchang dared to raise his head, but the house was dark, but he still couldn't see Qu Yitong's expression.
"This is the case in the Dahua army, and the people who came to persuade him to surrender also said the same, and also told the old slave that it was Han Linxiao who defected from the island who killed the island owner, and at that time, there were indeed a few familiar figures from the ghost-faced people in Dahua's army!"
Qu Yitong actually knows Li Jingchang's personality very well, and this answer is indeed very credible, but at this time, Qu Yitong thought of another question.
"Elder Li, why did you say that we Dongdao have come to this point today? Is it because we have stayed on this island for too long and rested on our laurels that we will be hit by the great Chinese who have been making progress, or is it because the life on the island is too comfortable, and our descendants of Dongdao have long forgotten the inheritance and spirit left by our ancestors?"
Hearing Qu Yitong's question, Li Jingchang was stunned at this time, and only then did he come back to his senses when he saw Qu Yitong's cold eyes that day.
"According to the old slave, maybe they all have it. At this time, Li Jingchang straightened his backbone slightly, "Actually, the things that the people pay attention to on weekdays are actually very simple, nothing more than the word 'food and clothing'! Only if such simple needs can be met, most people will not have more requirements, as for whether the surname of this Dongdao is Qu or Zhao, it is not so important." ”
After saying this, Li Jingchang stopped talking, and even closed his eyes and waited quietly for death, these words were indeed a bit rebellious, but after Qu Yitong heard it, he was still extremely calm.
"It's worthy of Elder Li, I really didn't misunderstand you, maybe you are the only one in the entire East Island who has such courage!"
After speaking, Qu Yitong stood up, turned around and walked directly to the door, and then opened the door.
The light and cold wind outside the house shone in, and Li Jingchang opened his eyes, only to see a red back.
"Elder Li, I hope you are so self-conscious, don't forget what you said today, as for the things in the yard, they should be given to you as a parting gift!"
After listening to Qu Yitong, Li Jingchang only felt a trance in front of him, but Qu Yitong's figure was gone, and after a while, he slowly stood up with the table and chair next to him, and then walked out of the door.
In the middle of the courtyard, on the snow, the corpses of the men in black were lined up from left to right, each with a ghost mask torn open from the middle, and the faces that emerged from the cracks were all bleeding, but they had been dead for a long time.
Twenty-two people, it is all the number of ghosts in Yingzhou City, I didn't expect that overnight, all of them died in the hands of Qu Yitong, most of these people were Dongdao people who defected with Han Linxiao, and they wanted to escape from Qu Yitong's hands, but they didn't expect that after returning to Dongdao, they still didn't escape this catastrophe.
Looking at these dead people, Li Jingchang only felt a chill down his spine, and remembered that he had just spoken falsely, and he was still a little afraid at this time.
Dealing with these traitors with his own hands is not just to clean up the portal, Li Jingchang understands that this is also Qu Yitong's declaration, a declaration of revenge!
......
In the harbor, the ship is quietly docked on the shore, but it is ready to set sail.
In fact, the people on the ship did not expect that they would end up leaving the East Island and their homes in such a way.
When everyone learned that Qu Yitong chose to give up the East Island and prepare to go to the final time, everyone who had the opportunity was shocked, but no one asked, because this is Qu Yitong, once the matter is decided, it will neither be explained nor easily changed.
Even, Qu Yitong also informed everyone in the town of this matter, and let them choose to stay or leave, but what they didn't expect was that the people who chose to stay stood in the vast majority, and there were only more than 30 people who chose to follow Qu Yitong to leave the East Island and go to the Central Plains.
Among the more than 30 people, half of them are foreigners rescued by Qu Yitong, and the children of Dongdao who left with Qu Yitong only account for a very small minority, perhaps to a certain extent, it also explains the current state of Dongdao.
Knowing that Qu Yitong was leaving today, the entire harbor town was unusually deserted, and almost all of them chose to be in their own homes, and they didn't know whether they were ashamed to see Qu Yitong or didn't plan to come out to see him off at all.
At this time, a red shirt appeared in the town, slowly walked towards the port, and saw Qu Yitong returning, and the sea ship lifted anchor and prepared to leave the port.
When he walked to the port and was about to board the ship, under the attention of everyone on the boat, Qu Yitong suddenly stopped his steps, and the whole person stood there, looking a little lonely.
"Senior sister!"
Hearing Gan Yiqing's call, Qu Yitong raised his head and saw his junior sister Gan Yiqing stretching out her hand towards her.
"Senior sister, it's okay, you still have us!" Behind Gan Yiqing were Lin Qi and Firefly.
At this time, Qu Yitong laughed, even though her appearance could only be regarded as ordinary, but at this time, she looked extremely dazzling.
"Of course, it's not over yet!"
The woman in the red shirt stretched out her hand, led the other woman, and boarded the boat together.
