Chapter 227: If the entire family is a spy
The candles were dim, and the snow was falling outside the window.
Xiao Heng asked, "Do you remember the battle in Xihai City more than twenty years ago?" ”
Pei Daozhu is colorful: "Contained in the history, unforgettable for a lifetime." More than 20 years ago, the two generals of the Xiao family and the Wang family guarded Xihai City, but they were betrayed by spies and secretly opened the city gate in the middle of the night. The northern generals came with an army of 500,000 and a great battle broke out in the city.
"The Xiao family and the Wang family were unwilling to surrender, they covered the retreat of the people, and swore to defend this territory to the death, and finally the 200,000 imperial army was killed and wounded. The battle burned for three days, and the whole city was strewn with corpses. At dusk, the white camellia blooms in a pool of blood like a river, and crows hover low in the sky, pecking at the corpses of the dead with impunity...... The generals of the Wang and Xiao families were even beheaded to show their heads to the public to show humiliation. ”
In the end, Pei Daozhu's voice trembled.
She was a boudoir woman who had never actually been to the battlefield and had never seen the cruelty of war with her own eyes.
It's just that when I read these in the book, I still feel extremely shocked, and I will still cry for Wang Xiao's two generals and countless sons and daughters who died on the battlefield.
Xiao Heng held her hand: "My grandfather was one of the generals at that time. At that time, he was old and seriously ill, and he could not help if he stayed, so the general of the Wang family asked him to retreat with the people. My grandfather had already withdrawn from Xihai City with the people, but in the chaos, he found that I was still in my infancy and was gone. ”
Pei Daozhu bowed slightly.
She knew that Xiao Yun and Mrs. Xiao, who were not prime ministers at that time, also guarded Xihai City with General Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao gave birth to Xiao Heng in Xihai City.
"In order to find me, my grandfather did not hesitate to return to Xihai City with two uncles with excellent martial arts. In the midst of the war in the city, although they found me, they could no longer escape from the city. My grandfather handed me over to Qinggong's best cronies, and in order to cover our escape, my grandfather eventually died on the battlefield with his two uncles......"
Candle Flame Jump.
Xiao Heng's deep face was bright and dark in the light and shadow, and his expression was not light.
It seems to be guilty, it seems to be self-blame.
Pei Daozhu was stunned.
She didn't know anything about it.
Now it seems that Xiang Ye probably thinks that Xiao Heng killed General Xiao and the two elder brothers, so he will treat him so harshly, logically and emotionally, it makes sense.
But......
She bit her lower lip.
Xiao Heng that year was just a baby waiting to be fed in swaddling clothes, what did he know?
And he didn't deliberately fall into the chaos of war, and he can't blame all the blame on him!
She suppressed these small weirdness, and said softly: "No wonder you hate the northern country so much, and you want to go on a northern expedition against the public opinion, it turns out that this national hatred and family hatred are even heavier than I imagined......"
Xiao Heng didn't speak again, only took the girl into his arms.
He grew up with responsibilities since he was a child, and his father reminded him over and over again that his grandfather and uncle died because of him, and he must never forget the hatred of the country and the family, and he must not let go of any royal family in the north.
With these words in mind, he also trained the army to prepare for the Northern Expedition.
Other people's little Langjun has time to rest and play, but he is not idle for a day.
Everything has to be calculated, and people's hearts have to be figured out, as if only when you are with Pei Daozhu, you will feel more relaxed.
After all, the Pei family's little liar only needs money.
But what others want, maybe it's his life.
Pei Daozhu leaned on his arms, was quiet for a moment, and suddenly raised his head: "Who is the spy in Xihai City?" After so many years, haven't you been able to find the slightest clue? ”
Xiao Heng said lightly: "The only clue is the Flower God Sect. However, the other party was elusive and could not find his whereabouts at all. By the way, do you remember the Zheng family who returned to Jiankang? ”
"Naturally, I remember."
Bae Daozhu replied.
She especially remembered Zheng Fei, who was obviously unwilling to take refuge in the northern country, but had to take refuge.
She put the soil of the south of the Yangtze River in a glass bottle, and carried it with her anytime and anywhere, with the blue sea and blue sky, caressing day and night, as if she could still feel the temperature of her homeland.
Xiao Heng said: "Before Zheng Qinghu died, he said that there were spies from the northern kingdom in the imperial court, and even that spy might be in a high position and be from a high-ranking family. Twenty years ago, the person who opened the city gate at night in Xihai City is likely to be the same person who betrayed the Zheng family later. ”
"If it's a member ......of the Gaomen family," Pei Daozhu hesitated, "Is it possible that he is not one person, but the entire family?" ”
With a beep, the lights on the candlestick went out.
Darkness all around.
The cold wind howled outside the window, like thousands of ghosts roaring.
Xiao Heng held her hand tightly.
If the whole family is a spy......
It's appalling.
Just before dawn.
On the outskirts of the city, the sky and the earth are as dark as the abyss, and the vertical and horizontal mountains and rivers are even more like splashing ink.
The wind and snow are magnificent, and a dilapidated and abandoned post house is hidden deep in the woods.
In the midst of the whistling, two lights suddenly lit up from a distance, and the sound of the wheels of the carriage came from far and near, and a carriage came at a gallop and soon stopped outside the inn.
Lang Jun, who was wrapped in a fox fur and wore a fox fur hat, carried a lantern and walked out of the carriage with difficulty.
The oncoming cold wind made his cheeks hurt, he raised his eyelashes, and the faint light of the lantern reflected his haggard face, it was Xiao Rong.
"What the hell did you pick a place......
He grumbled, cautiously reaching into the inn.
The room in the depths of the inn was lit with lights, and a furnace of golden charcoal added some warmth to the icy and snowy land.
The delicate eight embroidered screens spread horizontally, blocking Xiao Rong's vision, and he only vaguely saw a young man sitting behind the screen, holding a graceful and expensive sable fur cloak, sitting in a lazy and indifferent posture.
Xiao Rong squinted his eyes and tentatively said, "You are the one who picked me up from the northern kingdom?" Seems too young. ”
Defecting to the north was a decision he made a few days ago.
With Xiao Heng here, he never wanted to have a foothold in the court.
The only way out for him is to take refuge in the north and serve the crown prince.
Therefore, he spent countless efforts and manpower, tried every means to build a network, and secretly sent a very sincere letter to the crown prince of the northern kingdom, and finally got his wish two days ago.
The other party was very pleased with his surrender, and told him to come here tonight to speak.
It's just that the person who answered him looked younger than him, different from what he imagined, and seemed very unreliable.
In the face of his questioning, Lang Jun behind the screen chuckled lightly and did not answer.
Xiao Rong was angered by his indiscretion: "I sincerely surrender to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't you be ignorant!" I am Lang Jun of the Xiao family, and I have countless confidential information in my hands. If that's how you treat me, then I'll go home and never bother you again! ”
Behind the screen, an even more contemptuous smile came.
Xiao Rong's face turned red: "Are you laughing at me? What do you mean?! ”
Inside the house, countless lamps suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire post station as bright as day in an instant.
Several beautiful maidservants came and gracefully removed the embroidered screens.
Xiao Rong saw Lang Jun behind the screen clearly, and couldn't help but be completely stunned: "It's you?!" ”
