As they walked, the two looked at the chaos on both sides of the street, occasionally chatting a few words.

In a short period of time, Qushui County changed its owners three times, and the most bitter people were naturally the people.

Even if the Liang army was very careful after entering the city and tried not to harass the people, the remnants of the Sheng army would not care so much.

Everywhere there are houses on fire, and people who have lost loved ones.

When the army was defeated, some red-eyed Sheng soldiers killed people when they saw them, and many people suffered as a result.

A mother sits on her knees, holding her infant child in her arms, staring blankly ahead, her gaze blank.

Chu He sighed lightly, "Xing, the people are bitter." Death, the people suffer. ”

The two walked for a while, feeling better, and Chu He suddenly asked, "By the way, the general's surname is Chen, and Yan Chen's surname is Yan, what's the situation?" ”

Jiang Wuxian coughed lightly twice and said in a low voice: "Few people know about this matter, but I know that Captain Yan is surnamed with his mother." ”

"Mother's last name?"

"Yes, General Chen Shida's life, all his energy and physical strength have been invested in the Liang Army, and he has never married in his life, Yan Chen, the only son, should be an accident."

Chu He suddenly became interested in gossip, and said with a smile: "Tell me in detail." ”

"No one knows the details except themselves. I have a general understanding that Captain Yan's mother is from Jiangzhou, and she and the general met by chance on the way back to Beijing to report on their work, so some stories naturally happened. ”

After saying this, Jiang Wuxian also looked left and right twice, afraid that the general's family affairs would be heard by outsiders.

"Later, our Captain Yan was born, but at this time, the general had already returned to Dachong Pass. The woman had been alone with her child, and for fear of affecting the general's reputation, she took her surname. ”

For more than a decade, the general had no contact with the woman, nor had any relationship with any other woman. It wasn't until Yan Chen was sixteen years old that his mother was seriously ill and died, and General Chen Shida did not send someone to take him to Dachong Pass until this time. ”

"After arriving at Dachong Pass, the general personally taught him the cultivation of his only son and passed on his thirteen hegemonic swords, but the relationship between the two has never been good, it should be because of Yan Chen's mother."

Although there are many core figures in the Liang army who support the son to inherit his father's business, Yan Chen will take over the Liang army in the future, especially the old faction headed by Wang Minglun. But in this matter, the general never let go, and Yan Chen didn't seem to be very concerned. ”

Jiang Wuxian touched his chin, squinted his eyes and said, "So the eldest brother is only a captain now, and it stands to reason that he should at least lead a battalion." ”

Wang Minglun had mentioned this a long time ago, and even said that he would hand over his Jinjia battalion to Yan Chen, but he was directly scolded by the general out of the military tent. And to be a captain in Xinmu Camp was also requested by Yan Chen himself, he and He Cong were quite angry, if it wasn't for my calculations, it is estimated that they would still be living now. ”

Only then did Chu He realize that he didn't know anything about Yan Chen before, and after listening to Jiang Wuxian's words, he had a vague understanding of the general's only son, his brother-in-law.

Unconsciously, the two of them had walked to Peach Leaf Lane, and as soon as they entered the alley, they noticed an unusual atmosphere.

It's so quiet.

Chu He and Jiang Wuxian subconsciously quickened their pace, quickly came to the door of Liang Yi's house, and pulled the door knocker.

After a few buckles, there was no movement inside.

It stands to reason that Liang Yi should be at the door with Aunt Ma at this time, waiting for them to come back.

The two glanced at each other, and both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes.

Chu He hurriedly slapped the door with his palm a few times, and finally someone responded.

"Who?"

It's a male voice!

Chu He was about to reach out and draw his knife, but was stopped by Jiang Wuxian.

Jiang Wuxian shouted in a rough voice: "Lao Tzu is your iron-hearted Grandpa, hurry up and open the door!" ”

"Lord Ironguard?"

"Open the door!"

With a squeak, the old door of Liang Yi's house was pushed open a crack, and a head protruded from it.

He is a veteran of the Sheng Army in his forties.

"You're the Iron Heartguard?" The man asked warily.

Jiang Wuxian pointed to the knife in Chu He's hand and said viciously: "Can we still wear armor when we run?" Do you know this knife? ”

The veteran of the Sheng Army looked at the knife in Chu He's hand suspiciously, but still had no intention of letting them in.

"Fuck you!"

Chu He, who was in a hurry, raised his foot and kicked in along the crack in the door, and this foot subconsciously used Yuan Li to kick the veteran into the middle of the courtyard.

It seemed that it was too polite just now, and when he kicked out, the veteran immediately recognized the identity of the two of them, and got up from the ground and began to kowtow.

Chu He and Jiang Wuxian hurriedly rushed into the courtyard, and two more Sheng soldiers in the house ran out, knelt beside their companions, and kowtowed vigorously to say goodbye.

"My lord, help, my lord, there are all Qianguo people outside, we can't hide here, you can do it, take us and run."

"Yes, yes, we can serve you, do laundry, cooking, and robbing women, we can do it, but don't leave us here."

"My lord, the woman in this family is good, we dedicate her to you."

Chu He's anger had already rushed to the top of his head, "Where are they?" ”

The three pawns trembled in front of Tie Xinwei, and they didn't notice that the adults who had just arrived here knew that it was "them".

"It's all tied up in the house."

"Take me to see it."

The veteran who opened the door to Chu He before quickly stood up, nodded and led Chu He into the inner courtyard.

Chu He saw a few scratches on the veteran's neck, which should have been scratched by Liang Yi when he resisted, which made his brows furrow even tighter.

Walking into the innermost bedroom, Chu He finally saw Liang Yi and Aunt Ma tied back to back.

Liang Yi was neatly dressed, obviously not being bullied, which made Chu He really relieved, otherwise he didn't know how to explain to Yan Chen.

Seeing that it was Chu He who came in, Liang Yi and Aunt Ma, who were stuffed with sackcloth, let out a whining sound.

Chu He turned his head and stared at the veteran, "Just the three of you?" ”

The veteran who had no sense of crisis nodded and said: "Yes, the team has long been dispersed, and the three of us ran into this Peach Leaf Lane together, and the people living in this Peach Leaf Lane are all dignitaries, and the cadres will not easily ......."

Before he could finish speaking, the steel knife in Chu He's hand came out of its sheath like lightning, slashed at the veteran's neck with precision, and then slashed over like cutting tofu.

His head flew in response, and the large wound on his neck was bleeding, and then he fell to the ground weakly.

Chu He hurriedly ran inside, pulled out the sackcloth from Liang Yi and Aunt Ma's mouths, and asked eagerly, "Are you okay?" ”

Aunt Ma couldn't say anything, but shed two tears.

Liang Yi said viciously to Chu He: "It's okay! Xiaohe, kill them for me! ”
