Chapter 175: Ask and Kill

The autumn breeze sent the bearded veteran's words to the entire vegetable market.

As soon as these words came out, the people were in an uproar.

At present, the conscription is tight, and no one's family has sent people to the barracks to go to the battlefield where no one is seen alive or dead.

A piece of armor and a helmet can add a guarantee to your father, husband, and son on the battlefield, and better protect their lives.

Now let them know that whoever robbed a piece of armor from their relatives would have to fight with these gangsters.

"Uncle, it's this way, it's in the wrong direction." The one-eyed veteran beside the old man at the head of the platoon looked at him for a long time and turned him around.

The bearded old man didn't panic at all, changed his direction, and still looked upright: "Are you wronged? So who will give me back a pair of eyes and a leg?

Our brothers are lucky to have survived. If I can stand here and watch you ambush, I will be able to go to their graves today and offer a glass of wine.

Those who went to the battlefield because of you, you, wearing fake protective gear, did you ever think that you would harm them? In the middle of the night, can you still sleep peacefully on the soft pillow of the high bed that they exchanged for their lives?

You don't deserve to be a human being, or even a slash at it, such a good ending. My brothers, some of them had their stomachs chopped off, and some of them were in pain for several days and nights before they completely lost their breath.

If I could, how I wished that the knife that slashed you would be blunt and that would give you a taste of what my brothers had endured."

The old remnants shouted angrily, "You are not worthy of being a human being!! Give back my brother's life!"

The surrounding people thought about the scene of sending their families to join the army, and they couldn't help but burst into tears, and shouted: "Give back your life!"

"Give back the life!" "Give back the life!" "Give back the life!"

The soldiers had to be persuaded to retreat.

Unexpectedly, a few agile and strong farmers climbed onto the high platform and punched and kicked Cheng, only to be persuaded by the soldiers to help him down.

The executioner just looked at it coldly and no longer sharpened his sword.

Someone who knew about it secretly came to the side of Chu Ji and Chu Jie's brothers, and secretly poked and poked them twice.

Chu Jie was tied up, unable to return his hand, only glaring angrily.

The situation is stronger than people, and he doesn't dare to open his mouth to talk back.

Chu Ji on the side was kneeling obediently, closing his eyes, and letting others beat and scold.

It was only now that the pain of his flesh made his heart less painful than it was to be cooked in a blazing fire.

He was depressed by the extremely indifferent cold-blooded marriage between his parents, bitter for his mother's evil behavior of harming others and himself, and uncomfortable for his second brother's completely unreasonable confusion, all of which no one could share with him.

The Chu family loved him and would only double the comfort of him, and the father would only compensate him for being tired by his mother.

But in his heart, he felt that he was not completely innocent.

For so many years, he ignored the inner torment of his parents, just enjoyed their love for him, and the family's shadow for him, and never shared their worries and difficulties.

His parents and younger brother have come to this point, and it is impossible for him to stay out of the matter.

In the midst of people's abuse, he finally cried bitterly.

I don't know how long it took, but the voices around me dispersed, and the noise was gone.

Someone lifted him up, and said officially, "It's over, go and collect the corpse." It's not going to be easy to wait until it's dark."

Chu Ji woke up like a dream, untied the rope on the second brother, and the two went to the high platform to face the corpses of their loved ones.

**********

When Chu Xujun saw the thick blood like black ink rising, Wei Ling pressed her to his chest, picked her up instead, and returned to the house.

The relaxing taste of mint brushes away the smell of blood that seems to have spread.

There was a makeshift break room, which was later sorted out for the shopkeeper and employees to eat and rest.

Wei Ling asked everyone else to step back, and a glass of wine, a cup of milk, and a pot of tea were warmed on the table in the house.

Guoguo was also taken out and put in

in her arms.

The soft touch made Chu Xujun's cold heart and limbs slowly regain consciousness.

There are some things that you can never understand the pain of others without experiencing them yourself.

Even today, Chu Xujun didn't think she could empathize, so she was already so uncomfortable.

How much suffering and sin they have suffered in it.

These are not individual cases, but collective portrayals of thousands of history.

Just know that Chu Xujun is even more uncomfortable.

People are like mayflies, a drop in the ocean.

She was so small, and there was so little she could do.

Guoguo, who used to churn desperately in her arms, seemed to sense her emotions, and only called out in her arms, arching towards her.

Chu Xujun was coaxed by it and looked relieved: "What, you also want to be numb, don't you?"

She was also homesick.

The mother-in-law Liancheng here has gone to Jeju, and she is accompanied by the original heroine Yoon Yue every day, eating, drinking, and having fun.

Chu Xia has Yin's great Confucianism, and he is addicted to their book collection and is very happy.

It was Chu Gong and Chu Jian who were also in Yin's Academy, trying to go to school and adapting well.

Hua Liancheng and Yin Yuepin both sent her letters one after another, and they almost kept receiving letters every day.

Chu Xia, Chu Gong, and Chu Jian are likely to stay in Jeju for a long time, and Hua Liancheng is afraid that Xiao Liu'er will not adapt, so he has to take him back to Zhongzhou first.

However, Chu Qiu's plan to find Feng Lan did not go so smoothly.

Chu Gong and Chu Jian's studies could not be delayed any longer, and Chu Xia didn't want to leave for a while. It just so happened that Chu Qiu continued to stay in Jeju, and Hua Liancheng had indeed started to persuade Chu Xia to stay with his two children first.

When Yin Yue heard this, she also wanted to follow Hua Liancheng to Zhongzhou to have a trip, and learned about the opening from Xu Jingqing's mouth, and she also wanted to see the appearance of Phoenix Tower with her own eyes.

Hua Liancheng brought her ice drinks, tofu and lipstick, but she wanted to go to Zhen'an County to taste tea and make paper in person.

Chu Xujun was naturally very welcome, but she hadn't received a letter in the past two days, and it was estimated that they had forgotten her where they had climbed the mountain again.

"Tea."

"I smell the peach blossom stuff." Chu Xujun did not follow.

Wei Ling: "It's a blue sky and a white day, let's get down to business?"

Chu Xujun's back turned red, thinking of his drunken appearance last time, and obediently holding the hot milk to drink.

"I don't seem right when I look at the appearance of the second son of Chu."

Chu Xujun: "He is not dealing with our Changfang now, and no one in the family listens to him." Bear child, adolescent rebellious period.

"Zhao Xin was released by the prince and eyed the Phoenix Tower. These days, he has also had private contact with Dong Dali."

That's not good.

"I'll have a meeting about Phoenix Tower later, and then I'll ask Sister Xu to help find out the news."

"Well, prevention is the way to go. But I still prefer to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle."

Chu Xujun: "You mean, the evidence left by the housekeeper Lin Er before he died?"

"It's been so long...... Today, the Montenegrin bandits are ambushed, no matter how careful they are, they should also appear."

As he was talking, a soldier in armor broke up despite the obstacle: "General, the last general has something to report." looked at Chu Xujun, there were many outsiders, and he didn't mean to speak.

Chu Xujun also looked at him, his eyes were quite scrutinizing.

Wei Ling just said directly, "Vice General Wang, you have something to say."

"Jeju news, King Li ordered the siege of the city, and it has reached Yucheng, which is only a hundred miles away from Jeju."
