Section 8 Lighting
It's just one night's work, and Zichuan Shenxing looks like he has lost ten years of age, adding a lot of majesty.
"Oh, Ah Xiu, it's you! So early, I've just been on Chuang—what's the hurry?"
Shikawa Xiu bowed his head and told the story again--seeing Zichuan Sanxing's brows furrowing more and more as he listened, and his voice became smaller and quieter--but finally he mustered up the courage to ask Zichuan Shenxing to pardon the group of officers who had not participated in the rebellion last night.
Zichuan Shenxing's brows stretched again, and Yan Yue said to him:
"Ah Xiu, I heard Sterling say your deeds last night, and you have to be very outstanding and brave! Your merits are not under Sterling and Dilin, and you are worthy of being the person favored by the previous chief, hehe!"
"I don't dare to be a lower official, but my lord..."
"I know your merits in my heart - I will be in charge of the family government in the future, and I will have to ask you for a lot of support!"
"My lord said it, that's the duty of the lower officials, but..."
"Of course, such a great merit cannot be rewarded with a single word of "thanks" - the chief of the Praetorian Guard, Pigu, is very old, and I will persuade him to retire and resign in a few days, and at that time, I will recommend you to the Senate to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard. ”
"Adults are wrong to love, and it is an honor for the lower officials, but now ......"
"I think the Senate will give me this face, haha, you don't have to worry - what an honor it is to enter the Command before the age of twenty and participate in the family's decision-making!"
"Yes, thanks to the cultivation of adults, but now this thing ......."
"Alright, alright, that's it for today! I didn't sleep all night last night, after all, I'm old, and my strength is not as good as that of you young people. If there is anything you can come in and talk about it another day, I will give you the right to enter directly in the future, so you can step back now. Zichuan Sanxing said that he was about to leave the reception hall......
※※※
"My lord!" Zichuan Xiu hissed and shouted, "Please be merciful, more than 300 lives!"
The screams even alarmed the guards outside the room to come in and take a look
Zichuan Shenxing's face was frozen with a layer of frost, and he didn't say a word.
There was an awkward silence in the room.
"Deputy Commander Xiuchuan, whose retainer are you, my Zichuan family, or Yang Minghua's family?"
"My lord, the lower officials are loyal to the family, and they have no two hearts!"
"Loyalty? Your eldest brother Dilin does not treat the traitors as a repertoire, and your second brother Sterling is so steadfast and loyal -- why don't you look up to them and yet repeatedly speak for the remnants of the rebels?"
"Ask your lord to learn from it, the loyalty of the lower officials to the chief and the family is definitely not below Lord Dilin and Lord Sterling. ”
"Really, then, you replied to me, how many times have you come to see me since you returned to Dìdū? Stirling wants you to be loyal to me, why did you delay answering for two whole months -- as a family officer, loyalty to the chief is a matter of course, and you even say that you should consider it! This is called loyalty?"
Zichuan Xiu couldn't say a word.
"Be careful, Lin He, are you so presumptuous, are you arrogant?"
Zichuan Xiu's body trembled: Lin He was his real name before he was adopted by Zichuan Yuanxing, but no one had called him that way for almost ten years, and now Zichuan Shenxing called him out at this time, which was undoubtedly sarcastic to him: No matter what, you don't have Zichuan blood......
"My lord, Xia Guan will never be proud of his merits, but I implore my lord to see that Xia Guan also participated in the defense of King Qin last night, although the little merit he made is insignificant, but if this can be exchanged for the xìng life of the people of the zhōngyāng army..."
Zichuan Xiu slowly knelt down on his knees, prostrate and kowtowed, and when he raised his head, he was already bleeding from his forehead, tears were flowing from his eyes, and he looked at Zichuan Shenxing fixedly, without speaking.
Zichuan Shenxing was stunned, and the guards next to him were also stunned......
Someone knelt beside Zi Chuanxiu: "My lord, please allow Xia Guan to petition with Ah Xiu: There are enough people who have died tonight, and they can't be killed again!"
I don't know when Sterling also entered the room, he obviously just came back from the pursuit outside the city, sweating and bloody, and his face was pale: "When Xia Guan came back, he saw that the city was full of corpses, robbed, killed, and raped by random soldiers... Our top priority at the moment is to straighten out discipline and calm people's minds!"
"Then those remnants of the zhōngyāng army, we just let them go?" Zichuan Sanxing had to give his most loyal general a little face anyway, and his tone was already loose
Stirling hurriedly said: "As long as they are dismissed, relieved of military power, and loyal generals from the Janissaries and the Far Eastern Army are sent to replace them, they will be powerless even if they want to do evil!"
Zi Chuan Xiu also hurriedly said: "And the good name of the magnanimous benevolent monarch of the adults will definitely influence the barbarians and make them subjugate to their hearts!"
"Alright, you guys get up first!"
Zichuan Shenxing pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Since Deputy Commander Xiuchuan petitioned for merit in exchange for their lives, and Sterling you also petitioned - then I will grant the request!"
Zichuan Xiu and Sterling were overjoyed, "I beg your lord to sign the edict immediately, so that Chief Dilin can know about it." ”
Zi Chuanxiu took the edict and ran out of the governor's mansion like a fly, and Sterling chased after him and asked, "Ah Xiu, does the injury on your forehead matter?"
"Oh, do you remember the blood bag that Dilin used to make up for the movie and was injured? I didn't use it up last time, and I still have a little ...... left."
※※※
Zichuan Xiu galloped all the way back to the base camp of the Zhōngyāng army, rushed directly to the door of the venue, and shouted happily: "There are still five minutes!
He walked into the venue and was stunned: the corpses of more than 300 officers were scattered all over the venue, and blood was gushing out of the doorway...
The only person standing in the pile of corpses in the room was Di Lin, who turned around and smiled brightly at Zi Chuanxiu: "You're back, Ah Xiu! I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Zi Chuanxiu only felt that his heart was sweet, he was dizzy, and his eyes were dark...
※※※
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Di Lin's concerned expression
"Ah Xiu, wake up, wake up, don't scare me! You have an accident, how can I explain to Miss..."
Shikawa Xiu's faint voice asked, "Why do you do this..."
Dillin was silent.
"Why do you do this?"
"I know the chief better than you do - he's a calculating, suspicious man. Perhaps you will have to force him to sign a pardon - but if the people of the Zhōngyāng army get away with it, he will hold a grudge against you, and I am for your good. ”
"Ah Xiu, you have to understand: if this sentence reaches the ears of the chief minister, I will definitely die. ”
"Remember, I said there are only three people in the world that I can't bear to kill: you, Sterling, and Lin Xiujia. ”
"Why do I have to participate in such a dangerous battle? Why should I be an undercover agent who has nightmares for so many Chinese New Year's Eve? What is so good about Zichuan Sanxing, why should I betray Yang Minghua for him? Why should I get so much blood and provoke a lot of enemies?"
"Ah Xiu..."
※※※
Zi Chuanxiu looked at Di Lin's face, and seemed to see two people in a haze
With blood on his face, he smiled and waved his hand to order the slaughter, and in the face of thousands of heads falling to the ground, the very "bewitching" Di Lin was indifferent......
At this moment, holding himself in his arms, his eyes are full of sincere concern and deep pain, and he can feel the warm blood and body temperature of his warm man...
The two images gradually become one.
Zichuan Xiu struggled to get up and walked out.
Di Lin's voice came from behind: "You just woke up, where are you going?"
"Go home..."Shikawa Shu muttered, "I want to go home." ”
Shirakawa and the others appeared beside Shikawa Xiu: "My lord, let's go home." Miss is still waiting for you. ”
Zi Chuanxiu slowly looked at his subordinates: "Okay, let's go back - don't care, don't care about anything." ”
There was a cheer.
※※※
Zi Chuanning's manor may have been the only peaceful place that night: although he knew that Yang Minghua had no intention of killing Zi Chuanning, Stirling sent a janissary regiment to guard it just in case, and after Di Lin entered the city, he also sent a team of cavalry to patrol to prevent accidents.
The sky was already bright, and the light was still shining through the window of the small building where Zi Chuanning lived.
The Praetorian Guard officer in charge of the guard was acquainted, and he reported to Shikawa Xiu: "One qiē safe!"
Then he whispered, "The lights didn't go out all night last night." ”
Zichuan Xiu stared blankly at the lights, and sang a song repeatedly in his heart:
"There was a young girl,
Send the fighters to war.
They said goodbye in the night,
In front of that staircase,
Through the light mist,
The youth sees,
Dear girl's window,
The lights are on all the time. ”
Before he knew it, he was in tears.
