Chapter 97: The Crimes of the Han Family
Before sunset, Zhang Zhishu quietly left Wu's outer house through the back door.
That night, a secret report recording her whereabouts was placed on King Jing's desk.
"Your Highness, your subordinates have come to restore your life."
Si Qi had rushed back from the Dar grassland, starry night, surrounded by wind and dust, but in his mind, he couldn't help but recall what Hou Zhenkui said before leaving.
"When I have made a great contribution, I beg His Royal Highness King Jing to marry you to me! You must wait for me, and you are not allowed to fall in love with other men, otherwise even if you get married, I, Hou Zhenkui, will definitely go and snatch you back! ”
The rivers and lakes are reckless, and she has to rely on her to save her life several times in distress, and she dares to be so ashamed!
Si Qi had never seen such a brazen person, and somehow, his mind was haunted by the picture of Hou Zhenkui standing beside Han Yan and smiling at her before parting, looking at her with affectionate eyes......
"Enter."
King Jing's voice was still as indifferent as ever, Si Qi pushed open the door only to find that Si Jian was also among them, she sighed in her heart, and her face was still calm,
"Your Highness."
Unlike Si Jian, who has been serving King Jing since he was a child, Si Qi has been doing things for King Jing outside, especially those things that can't see the light and can't be on the stage.
It is a fierce and murderous aura around Siqi, and he looks at the wolf when he bows his hand.
Si Jian was wearing a night robe, and under the huge cloak was a bewitching figure that had already been personnel, and he was no longer as young as before.
She stepped forward to add tea to King Jing, and when she saw that Si Qi was on guard, she said seemingly unintentionally: "This is His Royal Highness's study, the house is heavily guarded, my sister doesn't have to be so vigilant, you might as well take a break, it's hard to rush all the way." ”
"Your Highness's great cause has not been accomplished, and your subordinates dare not slack off."
"How can this be slack? His Royal Highness has always been considerate of his subordinates, Sister Siqi, I just saw that you worked hard day after day, and I was a little distressed, and my sister didn't have to go online in front of His Highness. ”
The implication is to accuse Si Qi of sowing discord, but it is obvious that Si Jian brought up the topic first.
Si Jian has been secretly competing with himself, earlier King Jing in order to block the criticism of his relatives for not marrying a wife after his crown ceremony, he belonged to taking her as a partial house, and since then Si Jian has been more and more targeted at her.
But Si Qi has always only done what his master ordered, and the rest of the things he didn't ask much about or think deeply.
"What is the situation in the Dar steppe?"
"As His Highness expected, some people want to cover up the truth forever, and they do not hesitate to set fire to the plains, and the Dar grassland, which was once rich in water and grass, and herds of cattle and sheep, is now a scorched earth."
Hundreds of herders have been slaughtered in the surrounding areas, and the Dar steppe has been cut off, and it will be difficult to regain its vitality within three to five years.
Si Qi lowered his head and couldn't see the emotions on his face clearly, but he had seen the tragic situation of scorched corpses all over the place with his own eyes, and his hands couldn't control the slight tremors hidden in his sleeves.
"What about the rest of the Han family?"
"At first, they were rescued by the herdsmen, and then the Xiyi rebels killed people when they saw them, and they were all scattered, except for Han Leisheng, who did not see anyone dead or dead, everyone else had already been found, but ......"
Si Qi paused, and it wasn't until Wei Xuan picked up the cup of tea on the table that he eased up and continued to reply.
"In order not to implicate the herdsmen, the Han family took the initiative to stand up and identify themselves, became prisoners of war, and suffered under the hands of the rebels.
In the future, I will no longer see the grand occasion of the Han family's five tigers fighting side by side.
Si Qi is also a person who practices martial arts, and he knows how precious this martial art is that he has practiced three times in winter and summer, and has spent countless sweats and hardships in exchange.
Not to mention the half-life Rongma, the loyal Han father, just the Han family Erlang and San Lang, are all heroic people who do not lose their brothers, and they are still so young, the Han family Saburo has not even reached the crown ......
Their lives are wasted.
"The means are so ruthless, someone must have secretly instructed them."
Wei Xuan took a sip of the cup of tea, and his handsome and bewitching side face flickered and brightened under the candlelight.
Si Jian couldn't help but answer: "After so many years of fighting, I have never heard of the Xiyi people humiliating and humiliating prisoners of war in such a way!" ”
The leader of the rebel army is an orphan of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and it is rumored that he also participated in the imperial examination in the name of the son of Xifeng.
Since he took over the Xiyi rebels, although they still confronted and confronted the imperial court, the rebels no longer burned, killed and looted everywhere they went as before, and did all kinds of evil.
"In recent years, the rebels have become much more regular, they never hurt innocent people in the war, and most of the prisoners of war are used to negotiate with the imperial court in exchange for food and grass, how can they torture the Han family so much?"
Si Jian couldn't understand, no matter how heroic the Han family was, they were only born in a poor family, and they would never be able to climb the center of power ruled by the clan in their lifetime, who was so hostile to the Han family?
"The Han family descended from Han Yan, and there were three brave and invincible young men one after another, and Han Yan is not an ordinary reckless general, this person is strategic, meticulous, and can make decisions thousands of miles away or on the battlefield with one enemy hundred.
In time, the Han family will definitely be well-known to the world, and the subordinates feel that the person who started it must be afraid of this, but they can't look down on the ants from a poor family from the bottom of their hearts, so they use this vicious method. ”
Si Qi rarely expressed his opinion in front of King Jing, but tonight was the first time that he said so many things in one breath.
Wei Xuan raised his chin and cast an approving look.
Seeing this, Si Jian almost shattered the silk handkerchief in his hand.
"That village woman is tossing around like a headless fly in the city of Liaoxi, if she learns the news, I don't know what the reaction will be......"
Wei Xuan put down the tea in his hand as he spoke, and looked out the window with a long gaze.
"Your Highness, Han Yan has rushed to Liaoxi City day and night with his injuries, and it seems that he is likely to take refuge in City Lord Wu."
"Wu Sangongzi's biological mother, Aunt Cheng, is the prince's confidant General Dacheng's sister-in-law, Wu Sangongzi has already taken refuge in the prince, if Han Yan takes refuge in the city lord Wu, he will inevitably go with the flow to the prince in the future."
The more Si Jian analyzed, his face became heavy.
The East Palace has won Jiangdong and Quebei, and if you add fierce generals like Liaoxi and Han Yan, the Sacred Heart is always biased towards the East Palace......
Si Jian didn't dare to imagine what King Jing would be like in the future if he didn't have a countermeasure.
"Why, scared? Looking for another good wood? ”
Wei Xuan had a good insight into people's hearts, and just from the trace of panic and suspicion in the depths of Si Jian's eyes, he guessed what she was thinking.
Si Jian was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "The slave doesn't dare!" Slaves and maids will never dare......"
"This king is naturally not as important as the prince in your mind now, after all, the prince has promised to make you a good woman, isn't he?"
Si Jian was shocked! When it collapsed last night, the prince leaned on her and said the pillow words, how did King Jing know that there was no third person in the palace at that time!
