There was no response from the tomb for a long time, and the spring breeze blew across the vast land, and only a lonely echo sang a little mourning.

The door of the cave is dark and cold, the sun can't shine in, and the smell of yellow earth and stale smell wafts out, giving people a chilling and trembling sense of horror.

"Hell, why is it so cold." Someone muttered.

No one responded, but everyone tacitly understood that it was not that it was cold, but that the ghost aura coming from the grave made people panic.

When Qi Shang was about to speak again, a rough and indifferent voice sounded inside: "The third and seventh from the left will withdraw, and the two people will come over again, don't try to play tricks." ”

Guanyue and Qi Shang's guards glanced at each other, and the two of them asked themselves if there was no trace of their dress, how could they be seen at a glance?

The person inside sneered: "If you haven't killed anyone, you don't know by looking, you can smell it." ”

"Hiss-" The other eight people rubbed their arms and were about to cry, what kind of people are these, who talk about killing people at every turn, as killing pigs?

Guanyue looked at Yunqi, who bowed slightly to him.

While waiting, Yunqi glanced at Lu Anran, she took a step forward, and said, "The county lord of Rong'an can't last long, I'll give her two injections." ”

Needle prick is secondary, the main thing is to touch the bottom of the murderer.

"Heh, sooner or later, I'm going to die, so why bother." The murderer was unmoved and said coldly.

Qi Shangyu frowned, lowered his voice and said, "Shizi, I can only act at the opportunity later." ”

Yun Qi tapped his palm with a jade bone fan, and he still said on the surface: "Qi Duwei is strong in martial arts, it's up to you." ”

Qi Shang lowered his dark eyes, did not shirk the blame, and seemed to be considering countermeasures.

Yunqi had never met such a sincere person as Qi Shang, but he was a little embarrassed to bully again, and touched the tip of his nose boringly.

The efficiency of watching the moon was very fast, and it didn't take long to find two more people, one with his arms tied to a dozen or so iron rings, and the other was an aunt with a basket and her eyebrows fluttering.

"People are here, what do you want to say, this son doesn't have a hobby of stepping on other people's graves to chat and be funny." Yun Qi played with the jade bone fan and sneered.

The person inside spoke, but he didn't speak to Yunqi, "Little girl, pierce their dumb door acupoint with a silver needle." ”

Qi Shang and Yun Qi never thought of this trick, so they were too passive.

"What? Are you afraid that I'll be a cripple and escape from your encirclement? The voice seemed to rub against the rough, rustling dry, and the tone was full of strong mockery, "What I am going to say next, I don't want to be disturbed, you just need to listen to it." ”

Captain Qi acted resolutely, and walked cross-legged to the open space, "Miss Lu, please." ”

Lu Anran and Yun Qi glanced at each other, and took out a slender silver needle and slammed Qi Shang's head, "Offended." ”

After everyone was finished, only Yunqi remained, he looked at the dirt and said with a cheeky smile: "This Shizi still goes back to the crowd, and it is enough to hand it over to Qi Duwei here." ”

The people inside snorted and said with an unclear meaning: "The son of the world is delicate and expensive, so there is no need to prick this needle." ”

The implication is that he didn't take Yunqi in his eyes at all.

Yun Qi didn't seem to hear the meaning at all, and said happily: "You have a bit of an eye. ”

The black shadow at the entrance of the cave flickered, and the skylight depicted the outline of a man, thin and black, with a few wrinkles on his forehead pressed out of his head, making his face more resolute, and a pair of eyes like steel thorns, and the cold light was terrifying.

When Lu Anran saw it, he realized that what the little maid said was very cold, not because of his words and deeds, but because of the excessive evil aura on his body, with bloody ferocity.

"Miss Qianjin, I said it a long time ago, Jingzhao Mansion can't solve my business." He said indifferently.

Lu Anran's heart slowly sank like a scale.

Sure enough, it was him.

Yun Qi's eyes turned slightly, and he shook his head slightly when he saw the man holding a rope in his right hand.

Guanyue, who was in the dark, buried his body again, and asked Mo Yan next to him to push his elbow, "What are you doing, rush." ”

"The prince told us to wait, we should find something." Moon-gazing road.

Mo Yan pouted: "If you want me to say, the prince and the girl surnamed Lu have been mixed for a long time, and it is easier and more suspicious to become suspicious." Now that this person is exposed, why don't you pounce on him and restrain him? ”

Guanyue turned his head sideways, "You have a lot of opinions about Miss Lu?" ”

"Hey, you can try to be a coachman for her."

Guanyue: "Then you have to come, who makes you more valued by the world." ”

Mo Yan's eyes lit up, "You think so too." ”

Guanyue nodded heartily, and patted Mo Yan on the shoulder, "Don't live up to the trust of the prince." ”

In front of the general's grave, the man suddenly tugged on the rope in his hand with his right hand, and there was a slight sound of an almost indistinguishable sharp weapon cutting through the skin, "I know that you have secretly ambushed people, you can try to see if I can pull the rope before I die." ”

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and the man snorted indifferently, "There is a steel knife at the other end of the rope, I just need to pull it a little heavier, and the neck of the county lord of Rong'an will open a big gap." You are studying medicine, and you say that you can still save it. ”

Lu Anran shook his head, "I'm a fool." ”

The man's dead eyes moved slightly, showing a little surprise.

"But certainly not alive." Lu Anran spoke again.

Yun Qi twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, these two people spoke really 'cold', raised their hands and said, "Don't be impulsive, the beauty is not guilty." ”

The man moved his gaze, stared indifferently for a long time, sat directly on the ground, looked ahead, and said, "General Zhongwu, the general's grave." The corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and his eyes were full of anger like a condensed black storm, "Everyone in the world comes to admire such a hero, and who remembers the corpses and bones on the battlefield." ”

Yun Qi's eyes drooped slightly, and he smiled and joked from the end of his eyes, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man sat at the entrance of the cave, raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes were empty, and there was a trace of sadness and indignation, "My name is Zhao Pingyang, and I have been in the army for eight years. ”

The imperial court conscripts soldiers every year, and in the household register, those who are close to property are selected for those who are physically strong, those who are equal in physical strength are taken for those who are wealthy, and those who have many children in the family are selected for the purpose of shangfan, suppression or conquest.

Zhao Pingyang has no parents, he grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and he is still thin in medium height, so it stands to reason that it will not be his turn, but he thinks that instead of facing the loess with his back to the sky all his life, it is better to go to the army to fight for a family business, even if he dies unfortunately, it can be regarded as sacrificing his life for the country, and he will not lose.

"Six years, it took me six years to go from a nameless soldier to a centurion." Zhao Pingyang stretched out a hand and spread it in the sun, "Do you want to know how many thieves I have killed and how many horses I have picked in six years?" ”

He didn't need anyone to answer, and sneered: "I can't count it myself, and the funny thing is that those heads end up on people I have never heard of, or even never appeared." ”

"Isn't it fair?" Zhao Pingyang turned his head to look at the people outside, "This is just the beginning." ”

Lu Anran thought of Du Wenzhi, who joined the army one year later than Zhao Pingyang, but was promoted two years earlier.

"Two years ago, piracy was rampant in the exhausting sea, and the imperial court ordered a crackdown, and I was transferred to Gu Chengfeng's subordinate to go to the exhausting sea." Zhao Pingyang's voice was hoarse in the penetrating wind, with a bit of vicissitudes, "In the end, you all know the result, the pirates were destroyed, and everyone in Gu Chengfeng's team died in battle." General Sun asked for a pickaxe, Gu Chengfeng became a loyal general, and the others were rewarded one by one, but ......"

Gently breathed out, scattered in the wind silently.

"What about the thousands of unknown soldiers, who also gave their lives for it, and what did they get?"

Yun Qi tapped his palm with a folding fan and said, "I remember that the imperial court should give a funeral silver tael to the family of every soldier who died in battle. ”

Zhao Pingyang glanced at Yunqi and didn't speak, but his face was very disapproving.

Lu Anran paid attention to another place, "You followed Gu Chengfeng's subordinates, but Gu Chengfeng's subordinates were all sacrificed in the naval battle." ”

Compared with Yunqi, Zhao Pingyang's attitude towards Lu Anran was much better, and he nodded: "That's right, I'm the only one who survived." ”

Got up from the pile of dead people, fortunately did not die, but was also seriously injured and bedridden for three months.

"After I was able to act, I first went to the Exhaustion Sea Station, and at that time everyone thought that we were all dead in the naval battle, and I told my identity, but they thought I was a liar." Zhao Pingyang said helplessly: "Everyone who knows me is dead, just with my mouth, I can't understand it at all, I want to go back to my hometown first and then make plans." ”

Yunqi and Lu Anran did not speak, listening to Zhao Pingyang's narration.

He first sneered and said: "Speaking of funeral silver taels, one hundred and fifty taels of silver is just a pastime for high-ranking officials and nobles like you, and for the poor, it is necessary to exchange a human life for it." ”

Yun Shizi, who was named, held his forehead, and once again regretted why he didn't let Su Ji come to replace him.

Over there, Zhao Pingyang suddenly became emotional, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "But even so, their family didn't get it." ”

As he became emotional, Lu Anran could smell the smell of blood a little heavier than just now.

"When I returned to my hometown, I visited a brother's house, only to learn that the government only sent someone to inform me, and I had never seen any funeral expenses." Anger turned to sadness, "So I didn't go home for the time being, and I ran a few more places by the way, but it was all the same." ”

At first, Zhao Pingyang didn't know what the reason was, so he took a few brothers and relatives who had not received the appeasement of Yinliang to the government to inquire, but the officials drove people out indiscriminately.

After a few times, their family sighed and said forget it, the official words are two mouths, where can the civilians be reasonable.

But Zhao Pingyang was able to rush to the barracks regardless of his head in order to earn a future, and now he will not easily retreat when he encounters this matter.

Originally, he thought simply, and made it clear to the government, so that the silver taels would be reissued, and he could comfort the brothers in the spirit of heaven.

Until he was severely beaten, he found that the local government was all the same dog, and he had already colluded.

"They are greedy for money, and spend all their days drinking and drinking with what they call 'dead man's money.'" Zhao Pingyang's eyes were red, and he roared in a suppressed voice: "The silver they used out, every copper plate is engraved with the blood of my brothers who were born and died with me and died for the country!" ”
