Chapter 444: The Nobles of Southern Chu (Second Watch)
After applying the needle, Han Youning went to the top of the mountain with Hu Mu.
The two of them sat on the grass, and the jade pendant of the rabbit that had been forbidden was placed between the two of them, leaning against the small box, and the sun illuminated it, shining with emerald green and crystal light.
Hu Mu looked at the jade rabbit and stopped talking.
Han Youning said, "If you have anything to say, just ask."
Hu Mu looked back at the back, Luo Pingye Chang and Duan Yi were far away, on guard in three directions.
He asked in a low voice, "Why did the Seventh Uncle let the Jade Rabbit stand here all the time, and it couldn't see it."
Han Youning poked the jade rabbit and said with a smile, "It has been in the rabbit hole for a year, so that he can see the sun more and see the scenery more."
Hu Mu wrote the word "six" on the grass with his fingers, and looked up at Han Youning expectantly, "Isn't it?"
Han Youning looked at Hu Mu in surprise.
This child is really smart, and he deserves to be the son of Tanhualang.
She nodded slightly. I couldn't bear to continue to hide him.
Hu Mu's eyes were shining, he guessed correctly, the sixth brother was really still there.
He gently touched the jade pendant, sixth brother, sixth brother.
Han Youning glanced at Hu Mu, who was frantically touching the rabbit's head, and estimated that the sixth brother was now jumping on his feet in front of him, scolding, he hated others touching his head the most.
But she won't remind Hu Mu, it's good to let the sixth brother be a little emotional, otherwise it would be boring.
Han Youning brisked his cheeks and looked at the mountains in the west, there was no end, and he didn't know where Jianzhou was and where Xiliang was.
Now the eldest brother should have seen Liang Zhong, right? Perhaps he had already impassionedly ordered his troops and horses and drove to Xiliang with great ambition. It's just that crossing the boundless lofty mountains, and how many difficulties and obstacles have to be encountered.
Han Youning said quietly, "You said that the end of these mountains is Xiliang?"
Hu Mu shook his head, "I don't know."
A voice said, "Xiliang is also more than five hundred miles away from the nearest place to Xiangping Mansion, and you can't see it here."
Han Youning turned around, it was Duan Yi, and he didn't know when he stood behind them.
Fortunately, Fang Cai and Hu Mu didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.
Therefore, this kind of person with strong martial arts is very annoying, with good skills and good ears, she is like a thief whenever she wants to say something. Every time she talked to Su Bai, she had to retreat, and Ye Chang's small book was full of two.
She asked, "You know?"
Duan Yi stood on the edge of the cliff, his long body standing tall, the setting sun shining on his face, his eyebrows picturesque.
He replied calmly, "Yes. The end of the mountains is not Jianzhou, but Taozhou, northeast of Jianzhou."
Taozhou, Duan Yi's birthplace.
Both Zhao Chengyuan and Su Bai found out that Duan Yi's mother gave birth to him after fleeing to Taozhou while pregnant, and stayed there for eight years.
Han Youning looked at him, and suddenly found that his expressionless face seemed to be different from before, with a gloomy color between his eyebrows, and a pair of starry eyes that were gloomy and boundless.
She got up and stood beside him, looking at the sky. Duan Yi's memories of his relatives are there, right? Those eight years were probably very difficult.
Duan Yi said, "Mother is one of my father's concubines, and when the Southern Chu Kingdom was broken, my father killed all the wives and concubines in the back house and left with his eldest son in his arms. My mother was blessed with a great life, and she did not die thoroughly, so she crawled out of the pile of dead people and escaped, and after escaping to Taozhou, she made a home there." ….
Han Youning was shocked, how could he do it! What a cruel heart!
"Why is this what your father is? Even if he can't take them away, let them find their own way out."
Duan Yi said, "Mother said that she didn't blame her father. If my father hadn't done it, they would have ended up even worse."
Han Youning remembered what his master said, the battle to destroy Chu was a righteous battle for the Great Zhou, but it was endless pain for the Southern Chu people who broke the country. Although the war was provoked by Nanchu, the righteous division led by his father was an invader and a nightmare in their eyes.
Han Youning still wanted to explain a few words for his father, "You have followed Dingguo Gong for many years, you should know that he is not the kind of person who is ruthless and murderous. He won't do such a thing as slaughtering a city after destroying the country."
"Country
Grandpa won't do that, but the emperor's order is difficult, and the great clan of Southern Chu has almost been slaughtered."
Duan Yi turned his head to look at Han Youning, his eyes sank violently, "The rise and fall of a country depends on the strength of the family, and the emperor wants to cut them clean and never suffer in the future."
Han Youning looked at him in disbelief, that is to say, his father slaughtered the nobles of the Southern Chu family.
The nobles of the family are all big families, and each clan often has hundreds of families. Every time a tribe is destroyed, it is enough to shed a river of blood and stain a city red. It is conceivable that Nanchu at that time was like a purgatory on earth, and people everywhere were panicked.
She asked, "You come from a noble family?"
Duan Yi nodded, "Yes."
Han Youning retracted his gaze, and felt a little guilty and guilty in his heart. In this way, his father is his enemy of extermination, although the emperor's order is difficult to do, but the person who washed Nanchu in blood is his father.
Most of the people of Southern Chu hate the Duke of Dingguo, right?
This is the helplessness and sorrow of the generals. They stop the war by fighting, and they do it by killing people for a living. Whether it is just or not, behind every human life, there must be a broken family. Most of those people will not hate the emperor who ordered the killing, but will hate and curse the executioner who kills.
She asked, "Do you resent my father?"
Duan Yi was silent for a moment, "What I resent was the Duke of Dingguo when he destroyed Chu. I am grateful to Grandpa Guo for taking me in and cultivating me."
That is, still resentful.
But this person who resented Dingguo Gong lost his life to protect his daughter. If it weren't for Duan Yi's death, she would have died two years earlier in her previous life.
Han Youning smiled bitterly, "If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I won't dare to use you again and return you to my father?"
Duan Yi looked at Sang Yu Sunset in silence, his face dyed with the yellow of the sunset.
Han Youning said, "I believe in you."
Duan Yi's expression was slightly stunned, "Why does the princess dare to believe in humble duties, you are not afraid that humble duties will be unfavorable to you?"
Han Youning said, "When I first entered the Dingguo Mansion, I was not the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, so you protected me and was loyal, I don't believe who do you believe?"
Duan Yi's lips moved, "It's not early, it's time to go down the mountain."
"Okay, go down the mountain."
Han Youning greeted Hu Mu, and the group walked down the mountain.
Along the way, Ye Chang stared at Duan Yi vigilantly, squeezing him far behind.
After returning to Wutong Garden, Ye Chang followed him into the house and asked Qiuye and Ling'er to wait outside.
"Princess, you can't let Duan Yi follow you anymore, Nanchu people! Aren't you afraid that he will avenge his people?"
Before Han Youning could speak, Su Baixian was unhappy, "What are you talking about! What happened to the people of Southern Chu? Do you see that I am not good for the princess?"
Ye Chang said, "Duan Yi is a Southern Chu nobleman! The clan has been wiped out by the Duke of Dingguo!"
"What?!"
Su Bai stood up suddenly, "Who told you?"
Ye Chang glanced at him, "At the top of Cangyuan Mountain, Duan Yi said it himself!"
Is this person stupid, just tell his life experience so clearly!.
