Yun Tianjia said in a loud voice: "The soldiers have followed, don't worry. Now the enemy forces are still close and cannot relax. Let the wounded soldiers all mount their horses, and everyone will continue to march at full speed!"

In this way, he ran another eighty or ninety miles, and when it was dark, suddenly snow fell, smashed on his face, and it hurt slightly, and fell into his clothes, and immediately melted into water.

The soldiers' clothes were soon soaked with ice water, mixed with blood and sweat, and flowed onto their shoes, sticky, and when they stepped down, they carried up large chunks of mud, which were extremely heavy.

The soldiers were running, their physical energy was enormous, the heat was scattered, and the heat was steaming from the top of their heads. Some of the warriors stuck out their tongues and playfully picked up Yukiko, hoping to moisten her thirsty throat.

Yun Tianjia said: "Dragon Shovel, if it goes on like this, the soldiers must be seriously ill." Let's find a place to rest, eat something and then run. ”

"What you said is exactly what I want, I'm afraid you won't let me!" Long Yuandong raised his finger as he ran: "There is a village in front of us, we can go to the house and hide." ”

When everyone came to the entrance of the village, they saw that on the grass on the side of the road, on the trees in front of the house, and on the roof tiles, the snow was piled up into a thin layer, faintly, showing a faint white.

Long Yuandong suddenly waved his hand to stop the team from advancing.

This is a very small village, with only a dozen families combined, and there are not so many people from the Tianjia Army and the Longhe Army standing in the house.

Of course, this is not a reason for Long Yuandong to stop.

He stopped because he felt something unusual.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and if you looked closely, you would see that under the white snow, there were many dark red blood stains sprinkled here and there.

But the strange thing is that Long Yuandong did not feel the murderous aura, nor did he feel any danger.

He sniffed his nose and said, "There should have been a battle here not long ago, but the people have already gone away, and there is no danger. Let's see. ”

Everyone slowed down and walked into the village.

There seemed to be no one in the village, it was quiet, and nothing could be heard except the sound of Yukiko landing.

However, Long Yuandong soon found that there was not no one in the village, at least in the middle of the road, there was an old man with gray hair and old clothes, with dull eyes and a bloodless face kneeling on the ground.

Long Yuandong stepped forward quickly and said, "Uncle, it's dark and the road is slippery, and it's cold outside, so let's go back to the house early!"

The old man turned a deaf ear and sat still.

Long Yuandong had no choice but to reach out to help and asked, "Old man, did you break your leg?"

The old man came back to his senses at this time, glanced at Long Yuandong with empty eyes, and suddenly his lips trembled, and he lowered his head and bit Long Yuandong's arm fiercely.

Long Yuandong's muscles trembled slightly, shook off the old man, and shouted, "Hey, are you looking for death?"

That old man was just an ordinary mountain man, how could he withstand Long Yuandong's throw? Deng Shi lost three teeth, his mouth was full of blood, and he rolled down on the road, and the old man's voice scolded vaguely: "Dog bastard, why don't you kill me with one sword? I have lived enough, I should have died a long time ago, I should have died a long time ago!" He snorted and spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and laughed: "The little one is dead, the big one is dead, all dead! I am the only old man who is not dead! Haha, haha! What is the meaning of me being alive? You good man did it to the end, and simply killed me!"

He Dali saw that this old man was pitiful, and said kindly: "Old man, your family was killed, and I also know that you are very sad. But we didn't kill people, we just passed by, and you can't blame the good guys. ”

The old man laughed and cried, laughed and cried, and scolded with a handful of snot and blood: "I am wrong to blame a good person? Haha, you are not an official or something? Although my old man is old and dizzy, he is not stupid. You dog officials, stealing things and killing people, one day, you will not die well!"

Long Yuandong snorted and said coldly: "Ignorant and ignorant, don't distinguish between right and wrong! Don't talk nonsense with him! Fatty, let's go, go somewhere else and rest!"

Yun Tianjia stopped Long Yuandong and said, "The bloody case of human life is not trivial. It's never too late for us to ask about the situation. At that moment, the soldiers of the Wind Camp Einsatzgruppen scattered to various houses in the village to check the situation, and when they returned, they found a total of 59 bodies in the village, including 12 children under the age of 10. Several of the young women, who were naked, died in strange appearances, apparently humiliated before they died.

When the old man heard the soldiers of the Einsatzgruppen talking about the dead, he was even more saddened and whimpered: "It's not fifty-nine, it's sixty! My daughter-in-law is eight months pregnant, and she is about to give birth, and she has also been killed! I have also been killed by you dog-day officers and soldiers!"

Yun Tianjia asked, "Uncle, why did those wicked people kill the whole village, why are you the only one left?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and replied hatefully: "I went out to collect firewood in the back mountain, and I am not in the village." ”

"Since you're not in the village, you haven't had a face-to-face with the murderer. If we didn't see the murderer with our own eyes, how could we keep saying that they were the officials of the imperial court and that they were our people? Could it be that they were bandits and bandits, or those traitors of the Five Elements Sect?"

The old man broke the jar and broke it, turned over and lay on the ground, his words and deeds were extremely contemptuous, and he said: "You dog officials are also worthy of being compared with the heroes of the Five Elements Sect? The Five Elements Sect asks for the people's lives and kills corrupt officials, how can they come to harm us ordinary people? Only you, the dog officials who criticize human skins, will kill innocents indiscriminately, which is worse than beasts!"

Xiong Zhuangzhuang saw that he scolded ugly, and he was furious, and said: "Old immortal, you say it again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu tore you to pieces and fed you to the dogs?"

"Hey, hey, haha! Now you finally admit it, right?" The old man laughed worse than crying, and he was sobbing and choking, as if he was about to die at any moment. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he suddenly opened his mouth and pounced on Xiong Zhuangzhuang.

The bear stretched out his feet to push against the old man's neck, and with a little force, he could kick his neck to pieces.

Yun Tianjia hurriedly said: "Be merciful at your feet!"

The bear's strong toe was slightly off, and the point was on the old man's right shoulder.

The old man fell to the ground again, rolled a few times, and suddenly his hair was scattered and covered in mud, and his wrinkled face became twisted and hideous with pain.

His tone was agitated, and he asked, "If you kill an innocent civilian, ten people will pick up swords and guns." Kill ten, and a hundred will rise up and resist! How many people can you kill? Can you kill not a single one?"

Yun Tianjia thought to himself: "Look at the appearance of this old man, it doesn't seem like he is talking nonsense. If what he said was true, then there was indeed such a group of officers and soldiers in Matai County, and they couldn't defeat the Five Elements Sect, so they broke into pieces on the spot and insisted on guerrillas. It's a pity that they don't have a good style and provoke the people to hold grudges. And the Five Elements Sect has a good reputation in the hearts of the people. ”

Thinking of this, my heart felt like a stone was pressed and became very heavy.

As the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The Five Elements Sect provoked wars and disturbed social order, which was hateful, but their popularity among the people was enough to show how harsh the imperial court's exploitation of the people at the bottom had reached.

If everything is uneven, it will be loud, and the Five Elements Sect conforms to the will of the people, and it can be regarded as a famous and upright teacher.

Yun Tianjia, as a general under He Xiaoduo, has no choice in his duties, even if he sympathizes with the situation of the people, he must unswervingly eliminate the Five Elements Sect.

At the very least, it is unclear whether it is good or evil, and there is no distinction between right and wrong, and at the very least, it is to act for the tiger and help the abuse.

However, the truth in the meantime does not stop there.

Judging from the various intelligence collected by Yun Tianjia, although the rebellion of the Five Elements Sect conformed to the will of the people, in the final analysis, they actually did not put forward a clear and valuable interest proposition for the common people, and at best, they only helped the oppressed people to export their evil spirits.

In other words, even if the Five Elements Sect succeeds in the rebellion in the future and becomes the home of the Tuhao Empire, the commoners are still civilians, and they should be exploited or exploited, but the person who carried out the exploitation is changed from A to B, and his own life and status will not be fundamentally improved because of this.

In other words, although the Five Elements Sect represents justice for the time being, it is not a progressive force. And although the people now welcome the Five Elements Sect, they are only rushing to the doctor when they are sick, and they have not seen the essence of the Five Elements Sect.

It is not good for the court officials to be corrupt, but if the Five Elements Sect is in the court, it may not be much better.

The lesser of two evils, from this point of view, Yun Tianjia's suppression of the Five Elements Sect is not a mistake.

Long Yuandong didn't think as much as Yun Tianjia, and said cleanly: "Drag this old man aside, let's continue to hurry!"

He vigorously took the old man aside and asked with a lot of mouth: "Old man, do you know what the name of the officer and soldier who killed your family is the leader?"

Long Yuandong said in his heart, this old man could mistake himself for a murderer before, how could he know the name of the leader of that group of officers and soldiers?

Unexpectedly, the old man's eyes rolled and he scolded: "That group of dog officers and soldiers are mad, they have done all kinds of bad things, and they will stink ten miles away from the wind, how can I not know who they are? The leader, who has a long scar on the right side of his face, brought people to rob things every once in a while, and this time he simply killed all of them! I heard that he was originally a senior official of Matai County, and his name was Zhao Donghui. Because of his good water nature, he has another nickname, called Scar Fish! When he was an official, he bullied the people, and now he has been defeated by the Five Elements Sect, and he has become even more violent, and he is a disaster!"

This old man is not stupid, after some contact just now, he already knew that Long Yuandong and the others, although they wore the same clothes as Zhao Donghui, they were probably not the same group. It's just that he hates the house and Wu, and he still doesn't have a good face for He.

He nodded vigorously and said solemnly: "Old man, if I have the opportunity to meet this scar fish in the future, I must ask him clearly, why did he kill the whole village, so that I can get justice for you!"

The old man rolled a pair of cloudy eyes, looked at the sky blankly, and swore to He Dali, right to fart.

He Dali didn't care, tied a knot in the corner of the belt, and wrote down the matter. Then follow Long Yuandong, Yun Tianjia and others and continue to march.
