Chapter 198: The Southern Expedition Begins, and the Iron Hoof Burns

The night breeze blows through the canopy of the trees, bringing a rustling of branches and leaves.

Looking at the tall back standing in front of him, Xu Jin crawled over to the front, stretched out to grab the back hem of the Xia King's royal clothes, "Big King, little ......"

On the side, a shorter general, with an iron spear in his hand, pierced through the back of the Wei businessman's hand, nailed his palm to the ground, and the whole person screamed in pain, lying on the ground, kicking his feet, severe pain, and tears flowed out.

Xia Wang, who had his back to him and the woman in front of him, turned his face slightly, raised his index finger between his lips, and "shhhh

The bodies were filled with gold and silver jewelry, exquisite porcelain, and calligraphy and paintings from famous artists, all of which were gifts from Xu Jin.

At this time, they were stripped of their dresses, their hands and feet were broken, and then the cart stopped, and they were pulled off the car by the Xiliang soldiers one by one, piled up with those gold and silver utensils, writhing on the ground like meat maggots, moaning in pain.

Qin Zhen looked at this scene, goosebumps-like coolness climbed up the back of her neck, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

Xu Jin's face was pale, and he couldn't say a word at this time.

"You two, these are the things you gave away."

Hearing a flat and indifferent voice coming from the front, Xu Jin gritted his teeth and endured the sharp pain in his palm, and squeezed out a low voice: "Yes." ”

The night wind was howling, Su Chen stood on the edge of the high platform, his robe was flying, and he looked at the piles of belongings and women below with an expressionless face, "It's really rich, I only took so much wealth and food from Wei last year, and this time I took out so much real money and silver, calligraphy, painting and porcelain, and the eleven states of Wei State, which is really rich and enviable." ”

He turned his face slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Giving away so many things, a dazzling array of things, everything, no wonder the officials under the lonely command love it." ”

"Big ...... If the king likes it, there are many small ones, and they will be given to the king! ”

"Good intentions." The Xia King looked down and said softly: "What does Lone like, I will go over and get it in person, and if someone else gives it, Lone can't look down on it." ”

The moment he heard Su Chen's faint words, Xu Jin, as a businessman, was extremely sensitive to the words of others, and at this time, he faintly sensed something in his heart, which made him feel a chill in his heart.

He felt that he might not be able to go back.

When he came out, he received the emperor's will, and when he left, his wife and children stood at the door of the house to say goodbye to him, and took a boat all the way north, the sea was undulating, the land was magnificent, the sea was vast, and the sun rose from the sea level, which was even more magnificent...... It's all an impression of the past in my mind.

After all, in the words of the Xia King, he saw countless swords wielding, trampling the earth's iron hooves to ignite the flames of war.

The night wind was still whining and roaring in the mountains and forests.

A few falling leaves streaked before his eyes, and then he heard a majestic voice sounding in the distance.

"Lonely soldiers, you have been cultivating for more than half a year, are your knives still good!"

With a bang, a piece of sword light came out of its sheath, and it was held in the soldier's hand and raised above his head.

The soldiers in the front row stepped forward one after another, carrying groups of officials' clothes, and dragged them to the side of the mound, facing the towering stone monument, knocking them to their knees with the back of their knives, and Xu Jin and Na Qinzhen were also dragged to the edge of the high platform by the armor soldiers.

In the afterglow of the merchant's trembling vision, King Xia stepped forward to the high platform to watch the ceremony, the royal clothes were hunting and blowing in the night wind, and the white velvet between the collars swayed wildly.

The tall body faced the wind, and pulled out the Xia Wang sword with a 'bang', the wide and heavy sword body, and slammed it on the hard ground, and his voice was wrapped in internal force, like thunder in the night.

"Look at the officials in front of you, who were once your bosses, the parents of the people of the city, and now! They are like pigs and dogs, they were bought by the Wei State in the south with these gold and silver utensils, and they were corrupted by these precious calligraphy, paintings, and women, and they forgot the hatred of the country and the family, and forgot the souls of the 80,000 people in Fenzhou! ”

The wind was inspiring, and the high-pitched voice resounded through the world.

……

South.

In the flat mall, the flickering candle flame illuminated the figure wearing a golden heart-protecting bright light armor and a half-body straight green robe, he held the scroll alone, stroked his beard and read at night, for a long time, he put down the book, raised his red face, got up and walked to the weapon rack, and held the long hilt of the knife, and raised it violently and took it into his hand.

Airplanes!

The heavy blade sliced through the air, and the candle flame reflected a dragon-patterned sinuous blade.

In the adjacent room, a burly black man with a snake spear in one hand and a wine jar in the other hand poured his wine up, looked at the brand-new snake spear in his hand, and raised his hand to stroke the wine stains hanging between the tiger's whiskers.

In the barracks outside the city, the huge painting halberd was carrying the wind and thunder, and the sharp and snowy crescent moon branches crossed the ground with arc-shaped deep marks, and the sand and soil splashed away in a fan-shaped shape.

A golden beast-faced swallowing head chain armor, there was a metal sound of the armor leaf rubbing, and at a certain moment, Lu Bu put down the halberd heavily, and the two long feathers shook slightly, and the eyes of the cavalry under his command were majestic and heroic.

On the bank of the turbulent Hunhe River, Zhang Liao sat on the guardrail of the ship with a yellow dragon hook and sickle, looking at the south bank from afar, full of war.

……

"You want these curiosities, right?"

On the high platform, Su Chen raised the Xia Wang Sword with one hand, pointing to the piles of flashing gold, silver, and crystal clear jade and porcelain bottles, "Don't say who doesn't want it, it's all fake, you want it, you want it, who would dislike a few more valuable things at home, but it's like begging, you take it in your hands and put it at home, are you sure in your heart?!" ”

In the countless intertwined sights, the Xia King stood on a high platform with a majestic voice.

"Lone turned twenty years old this year, since the beginning of the army, it took a year to sweep the Yan Kingdom, crowned the king, lived in the palace, Lone Ke has been obsessed with wine, can enjoy brocade clothes and jade food, can be greedy for gold, silver jewelry, rare playthings?! Because Lone knows that before it is time to enjoy it, Lone will set foot on the vast land with my soldiers, to the warm south, to the desert in the west, where there are countless curiosities, a hundred or a thousand times more than here, why bother to pick up things handed by others like a dog——"

……

Central Plains, Luyang.

Blood flowed slowly down the cracks in the tiles of the street, the blade of the sword fell, bringing up a splash of blood, and in the light of the lantern, the headless figure on the wall twitched and fell.

Pei Min held a human head and looked at it: "The eighteenth ......"

Then he jumped on the eaves of the restaurant, tied a knot under the eaves of the human head, hung on the beams of the eaves, jumped over, stepped on the nearby wall and disappeared into the darkness.

Xiao Moyu, who infiltrated the Qianlong Mansion, was favored by his boss and was ordered to arrest the embroidered clothes who were assassinated in the city.

He turned and dragged his cloak, opened the door, and strode out.

On Yuan's mansion, Yuan Feng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, looked at the two small wooden boxes in front of him, inside was a lone ancient book, and in the other wooden box, the night pearl of the dense air was a lot of money.

He raised his face and looked at the ridiculous old fat man in front of him, showing an appreciative look.

……

"The King...... King...... We were wrong, bypass us once! ”

Among the officials facing the monument, some people struggled to run out, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to the high platform in the distance.

"It's late!"

Su Chen closed his eyes, and there was a whimpering wind in his ears, and the official who was kowtowing over there was pulled back by the soldiers, and the handle of the knife hit the other party's forehead, and his face was covered with blood.

"The sons and daughters under the lonely command are all bloody warriors who fought with swords, and they are all northerners who stand up to the sky, not you who eat what others hand you over."

"They used these things to make your knees limp, and you fell to your knees; Let Er and others forget the souls of the 80,000 people in Fenzhou; Let Er wait for the court, and make a gap for the lonely child; Let you and others long for peace, no longer spineless; Let you wait to live in a comfortable and peaceful corner! ”

"Just when you were waiting to accept their bribes, the army was sacrificing wine, and Lone's strategists were being assassinated by them, but the more they did this, the more Lone looked down on them, because only the weak would use this kind of unpopular means to go up to the army to plot, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the army, and then to attack the city, but they didn't occupy any of them, that was because they were afraid, since the first battle of Chendu County, the lonely annihilation of its elite, made them feel afraid, lonely sons, so what should we do?"

"Kill—" Countless voices converged and resounded through the sky.

Everything on the ground was picked up by the soldiers and thrown into the huge burning stone dome, and the women who struggled and shouted were carried by the soldiers, lifted above their heads, and then threw them into it one by one.

A terrible scream rang out in the ding.

……

In Ding'an County, the gentle woman who sat in front of the bronze mirror and lowered her hair looked at her husband who was teasing the child over there, and a smile appeared on her face.

In the ancestral hall of the main house of the Su family, the old woman eats fasting and worships the Buddha, facing the tablet of the Su family, and folds her hands.

"Bless the heirs of the Su family, bless the son Su Chen who is away, safe and sound."

In the lighted study, Xun Yu flipped through the ancient books, occasionally sat at the desk, continued to process official documents, and thought about the future direction of Ding'an County.

The stars and moon are dense in the night, the two horses are lying on the hillside with their tails flicked, Li Bai and Guo Jia are holding wine gourds, you take a sip, I take a sip, lying on the grass, looking at the natural stars, occasionally laughing at the last poem.

The night is like a mother's embrace, embracing thousands of lives, silent in this quiet night.

After a hard day's work, the farmers put down their farm tools and sat in the small stove room with their families, enjoying the comfort of reuniting their children and old wives.

The flags of the quiet long street are fluttering, the diligent guys are attracting passers-by, the shopkeeper is playing with the abacus, remembering the day's income, and in the back kitchen, the cooks are sweating, facing the hot oil pot, wiping the hot sweat from their necks from time to time.

In the public court, the scholars who talked at night were thinking about who to give gifts to next, and thinking about laying out clever plots to drive away political enemies.

The fisherman who returned at night returned with a full load, smiling and waving at his relatives waiting on the shore, and the oil lamp placed on the bow of the boat illuminated his swarthy face.

The ignorant emperor ran around his mother under the chase of the palace maids; The diligent emperor reviewed the folds overnight, and his beard turned a few whiter, and then he was furious and recruited eunuchs.

In the quiet of the night, many things are about to be torn down, and then, the tranquility is broken.

……

The mournful screams broke the quiet of the night, and the figures of women in the stone tripod climbed wildly, and then were forked back into it by the soldiers standing on the benches on both sides.

"Lone said, I want to take you to the Wei Kingdom in the south, we went once, and took a lot of property, do you want to go a second time? This time, we will directly eat the entire Wei State, and their things will all be ours! ”

Su Chen raised his sword and pointed: "And these people-"

"—Sacrifice Flag!"

Under the monument, the Xiliang soldiers stepped forward one by one, raised the steel knife in their hands, reflected the swaying light, and cut down together, dozens of hundreds of heads fell to the ground, and the corpses fell down, bursting out of blood and dying a dazzling scarlet.

On the viewing platform, the two people kneeling beside King Xia were also beheaded by the armor soldiers behind them in the pleading, and their beautiful heads and frightened heads rolled together.

"The time of conquest has come, we will enter the Wei land, kill into Luyang, cut off the emperor's head, and smash his throne!"

Xia Wang's sword was held high, countless steel knives echoed each other from afar, and they were held high, and under the light of the torches standing around, Su Chen's voice roared: "Let's raise our troops-"

"—south!"

The mountain wind is howling, and the murderous aura is spreading.
