"Boom, boom, boom......"

There was thunder in the sky, heavy dark clouds rolled in and piled up, lightning illuminated the city below through the gap in the clouds, illuminated the pavilions in Yongle Fang, and also illuminated the sound and shadow of the red-clothed and black-armored men holding blood-dripping knives in the streets and alleys.

"Tick, tick, tick......"

I can't tell the sound of rain falling from the sky to the ground,

Or the sound of blood dripping from the cold knife of Sen Leng,

"Click, click......"

The faint sound of the soles of his boots in the blood lingered in his ears, the dull sound of knives entering flesh, and the desperate wails before death had ceased, leaving only hundreds of dead corpses.

backyard

"Boom ......"

Another thunderclap sounded,

The surface of the lake reflects the coldness between the young man's eyebrows, the rain beats the lake, and the ripples ripple in the lake, even with the corpses slightly undulating, the situation in the field is particularly weird, the silhouette cast by the pavilions and many green plants is terrifying, and the Xie Mansion at this moment is like the lair of many unspeakable monsters.

"Hoo ......"

The young man squatted by the lake for a long time,

The rich smell of blood in the air was gradually diluted by the rain, and the blood stains soaked in the mud were washed by the rain and meandered into the lake together, and even the blood sprayed on the courtyard wall was washed down.

"Your Highness!"

"Mr. Bai is already waiting outside the mansion!"

I don't know when, Bai Xiaosheng silently walked behind the young man and said softly.

"Is it all over?"

The young man looked up at the sky and muttered softly.

"Let's go, as Mr. Zhang said. ”

"They're dead. ”

"Only others can live, and only then can they live better!"

"I want to come next year, the grass and trees in Yongle Fang can grow more lush, and I want to come to the poor door of the world, and the people can live better. ”

The young man looked at the blood around him that had been soaked into the soil, their blood would be turned into nutrients to nourish the land, and their wealth and power would be dispersed to make the world live a better life.

"Let's go. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he walked out of the house,

On the long street,

Dozens of board cars have been parked on the side of the street, and there are constantly Liangzhou soldiers dragging the corpses out of the mansion and sending them to the board cars, and when the young man walked out, all the board cars were already full of corpses, dense and shocking.

Even the original wood has been soaked in blood and red, and there are soldiers in the alley who are constantly pulling the corpses out, and the transportation is definitely incomplete, and more than a dozen officials at the door are counting the list of corpses.

"How many people died tonight?"

The young man said loudly.

"Hey, Your Highness!"

"The Wang family, the Xie family, the Deng family, and the Liu family in Yongle Fang...... More than 10 convicts who collaborated with the enemy and treason, including their families, have all been brought to justice, with a total of 3,298 people......"

The lieutenant in military uniform stepped forward,

Holding the assembled roster, he arched his hand to the young man at the door.

"Be detailed. ”

The young man sat down on the steps under the threshold of the Xie Mansion and waved his hand.

"Three thousand two hundred and ninety-eight people, of whom seven are under the age of seven, seven hundred and thirty-two, and nine hundred and seventy-six are over the age of sixty......

The lieutenant of Liangzhou reported carefully.

"Let's go down. ”

The young man waved his hand, as for the property of the robbed family, it was piled up in front of the doors of the mansions at the moment, gold, silver, jewelry, delicacies, and jade, countless of them, and I don't know how long it will take to complete the inventory.

Distance

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's matter for today has left the secret decree early. ”

"I hope Your Highness will not blame you. ”

Bai Qing walked out of the Deng Mansion covered in blood, and casually wiped the cold knife in his hand on the corpse and put it into the sheath.

"Uncle Bai, why do you have to do this?"

"Your Majesty has Your Majesty's calculations, and your Majesty has your Majesty's calculations. ”

"In the final analysis, the future of Daqian still depends on His Highness. ”

Bai Qingfeng sat silently beside the young man, didn't want anyone to hold an umbrella, raised his head to meet the rain in the sky, and opened his hands slightly, letting the rain wash away the blood stains on his body.

"After tonight, the interior of our Daqian has completely stabilized, what Your Highness wants to do, don't worry about doing it boldly, no matter what, Your Majesty and our gang of old killers are on His Highness's side. ”

"In the future, if there are any changes and reforms, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the face of our old killers, as long as it is beneficial to Yu Daqian, Uncle Bai is definitely the first supporter. ”

Bai Qingfeng patted the young man's shoulder and grinned.

"Uncle Bai, now that the imperial examination has been opened, the gate valve has been removed. ”

"The foundation of our great work has been laid,"

"The battle of the great world is about to begin......"

"In the future, I have to rely on your uncles and uncles. ”

The young man got up and said.

"I want to come to my chariot, under the leadership of His Royal Highness, I can also sweep the world, how can I rely on it or not, I will leave a name in history in the future, and I have to wait for this group of old killers to borrow the light of His Highness. ”

Bai Qingfeng wiped his face and got up slowly.

"Your Highness, last time I heard Lao Zhu mention, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness still have to invite our old brothers to drink wine and eat meat alone, there is no time to spare these days, and when I return to Beijing this time, I must not get drunk and not return, and now the ministers have to clear the side lines of these prisoners, so I will not stay for a long time. ”

The remaining Liangzhou soldiers outside Yongle Fang have been fully prepared,

The horses' hooves leaped high and the neighing was incessant.

"Uncle Bai, take your leave!"

The young man bowed.

"Ming Japan Palace and Uncle Ma went back to Liangzhou to recruit troops, in the end, the source of soldiers is still our iron-clad Liangzhou men are more elite, and the soldiers in the land of Gyeonggi still have a little less courage in their bones, so they still have to go back. ”

"After returning to Beijing this time, I will definitely not get drunk and not return. ”

The young man looked at the horses in the distance and said loudly.

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

Bai Qingfeng raised his hand with his back to the young man.

......

Following

At the end of the day,

Outside the capital,

Quartet official road,

Thousands of Liangzhou guards in red clothes and black armor with black python patterns embroidered on their waists rode away on their horses, and a young man in a python robe at the front walked side by side with an old and resolute face.

"Your Highness,

"Counting it, we haven't been back to Liangzhou for half a year. ”

"I originally thought that I would live in Liangzhou for the rest of my life, but now I don't know how long it will take to go back to the village to build a few tiled houses and find a wife to enjoy my life. ”

"Uncle Ma is just your old and strong body. ”

"Wouldn't it be a pity not to marry three wives and four concubines?"

"Wouldn't it be beautiful to give birth to a litter of dolls when the time comes?"

The young man quipped, his hands pillowed behind his head and his whole body lay flat on horseback, no matter how bumpy it was, but the upper half of his body still did not see the slightest bump.

"How can it, according to His Highness. ”

"I'm afraid the old minister's body bones can't bear it. ”

"At the end of the day, we have to live a few years less. ”

Lao Ma is rare to be funny, in the final analysis, it is also about personal relationships, in addition to Bai Qingfeng in the Liangzhou army, he is the closest to His Royal Highness, regardless of the monarch and ministers, whether old or young, there is a sense of forgetting the New Year.

"But when it comes to begging my mother-in-law, the old minister remembers, this trip back to Liangzhou, I took the stupid nephew in the village by the way, went north to fight the barbarians, and the reward for the southward expedition has all been kicked in his pocket, and this trip back to the local government to use this silver to build a big house with three in and three out, and take his old mother in, and also live in a spacious house. ”

Ma Youliang smacked a puff of dry smoke and grinned,

"Silly boy, come here!"

Ma Youliang waved his hand to his own guards behind him, and a simple-looking man came forward on horseback, perhaps a little unaccustomed and a little cramped.

"See...... Yes, Your Highness!"

Liu Er hurriedly retracted the reins and arched his hand on the horse.

"No need to be polite. ”

The young man raised his hand with a smile, he still remembered that earlier by the Bibo Lake, the little soldier who was serious about the rope festival was a little silly, but he didn't expect that the Northern Expedition would come down and the Southern Expedition would come down again, and he would still be alive and well after the two big battles.

"Take this silly boy with you on this trip back to Liangzhou. ”

"One is to meet his old mother by the way. ”

"The second is that this stupid boy said that he didn't want to leave the army early and return to his hometown, and always wanted to be with the old minister, so the old minister thought about letting this stupid boy marry the butcher's daughter earlier, and it was best to leave a seed when he came back this time, so that those who would fight in the future would be more at ease, and the old man had a grandson and a thought. ”

"Our old horse is also cheeky to act as the elder of this stupid boy, and personally go to the butcher to propose marriage. ”

"Boy, thank you Uncle Ma!"

When he heard the daughter of Butcher Zhang's family, Liu Er's slightly rough young face that was polished by the wind and sand could not be concealed, but he remembered that this was the unspeakable joy that the army had forcibly suppressed again.

"What are you thankful for?"

"When the time comes, the cave room will spend candle nights. ”

"Thank you Uncle Ma, I'll have a few glasses of wine. ”

"If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, you can also go back to our village to have a few drinks and join in the fun, and it is not a matter of three or five days to recruit soldiers. ”

Ma Youliang said with a smile.

"Then it's settled. ”

"I'm going to have to ask for a few glasses of water and wine. ”

The young man did not shirk and agreed to come down.

"Your Highness is coming too?"

Liu Er's mouth opened when he heard the sonar,

"Drink two glasses of water and wine. ”

"Why aren't you welcome?"

The young man was also amused when he looked at Liu Er's silly appearance.

"No, no, no, it's not ......"

"If my mother knew that His Highness would eat the boy's wine. ”

"I don't know what it looks like. ”

......

"I just don't know if it's been so long, Miss Xiaoyanagi has ...... married."

in the regression queue,

Liu Er looked in the direction of Liangzhou and muttered,

The hand subconsciously reached into his arms,

It was two yellowed letters, one was written to his mother when he went north, and the other was written to the little willow girl, but it was not sent at the time, and now it is a little apprehensive to be able to give it in person.

I hope she's not married,

If you are already married,

that

is also excellent,

After all, it's still the same sentence, how can there be immortals in war,

Today,

I still can't give your parents a short and stable life,

Liu Er couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this,

The envelope is placed from the new close,

forcibly squeezed out a bright smile and rode to his hometown,

......

A few days later,

Liangzhou boundary, Beiliang County;

In the vast wilderness of the land of Liangzhou, there is a small village with no name, there is a stream next to the village, there is a stone mill by the stream, opposite the mill is a raised meadow, which is densely stacked with haystacks, this is the grass valley laid last year, and after the haystack is a low earthen embryo house.

At the beginning of the unitary time,

It's a country meal,

Smoke rises from the village,

Occasionally, there is also the sound of chickens, ducks and dogs,

"Grandma Liu, eat something. ”

Creekside,

Old woman in a cloth garment,

Holding a wooden basin and holding a wooden stick, he is washing clothes,

"Xiaoyanagi, here?"

"I said don't always send food here. ”

The old woman looked at the oil star in the bowl and sighed, saying that it is a very satisfying day for the country people to be able to eat a full meal, and the village can only see some meat in the butcher's house on weekdays.

"Grandma, Liu Er has joined the army, it is inconvenient for you to be alone at home, Xiaocui can help some, so she can help some, and Second Brother Liu is much more worry-free outside. ”

The girl who called Xiaoyanagi took the old woman's hand and slurred the laundry stick, spread the clothes on the stone slab, and beat them carefully.

"Miss Xiaoliu, why are you ...... doing this?"

The old woman looked at the patched cloth on her body, and then looked at the bowl full of oily food and sighed, it is not an exaggeration to say that her family is surrounded by four walls, but this girl's family is not rich and noble, but it can also be called worry-free, and there is a surplus of silver at the end of the year, which is one of the largest households in the village, and it is not the right one of the households......

What's more, this girl looks handsome and pretty,

Why can't you marry a good family?

"Grandma, don't say it. ”

"You are well fed, and Second Brother Liu can be more worry-free when he comes back. ”

"Hey......"

"Grandma, the clothes are washed. ”

The girl called Xiaoliu wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead,

After twisting and drying his clothes, he smiled heartily and put it back in the tub and handed it out.

"Miss Xiaoyanagi, don't come here often these days. ”

"The girl's family is easy to gossip. ”

The old woman put down the bowl in her hand and touched Miss Xiaoliu's sign and said earnestly, after all, the unmarried Huanghua girl in the countryside often walks around other people's houses, and her reputation is not good.

"Grandma, what's the gossip?"

"I'm glad to, they don't care. ”

"I'll leave it here!"

"My Xiaoliu will not marry Second Brother Liu in this life. ”

"Hey, you stupid girl......"

Miss Xiaoliu helped the old woman to get up and go home,

As the sun set, the figures of the two people were pulled for a long time......

LIU Er,

Why is it called Liu Er?

Naturally, because of the second oldest in the family,

As for Liu Da,

I still remember that I also joined the army in the early years,

His eldest son carried a shabby burden at the entrance of the village, and told his younger brother to take care of his mother, and wait for the barbarians in the north to go home to farm and be filial to himself, but unfortunately he never came back, and only sent back a suicide note, and a few taels of pension silver.

There was no letter to send back this trip,

I want my son to be alive,

The old woman looked up at the southern boundary and thought to herself.
