Chapter 260 says that the world comes down
The stinging sword is very fast,
It's almost to the extreme,
It's almost time that the eyelids haven't closed yet,
The head of the man has already jumped high,
That's what it feels like the world is spinning,
"Bang ......"
It's a dull sound of the head hitting the ground,
After the head hits the ground,
Is it the body that has lost its head?
Or does the head feel like it's gone?
This is a philosophical question that the young man does not know, but he knows that the old man surnamed Xie should be conscious when the head falls to the ground, because he blinked, and there was resentment flowing out of his eyes, which was an extremely obvious emotional emergence, and the young man could clearly perceive it.
"Chirp, chirp......"
Looking up,
Countless swiftlets flew out of the mansion at night, and through the cold moonlight, it could be seen that those swifts were flying in the direction of Qingshuifang, where ordinary people lived in the capital, as the name of the house was as poor as water, but this symbolizing the blessing of the swiftlets in the market was falling into the home.
When the head of the old man surnamed Xie fell to the ground,
The face is just facing the direction of the sky, and you can clearly see the chirping of flying swallows in the sky passing over their mansion.
When the last delphinium flies by,
His eyelids eventually went down,
The look in his eyes also changed from resentment, unwillingness, horror, confusion to finally relief, as if a person would emerge in this life in an extremely broken time before he died, which was very short, but very long for them.
The young man counted carefully,
The old man surnamed Xie blinked thirteen times,
In my previous life, I still remember an absurd and crazy experiment, some people want to know whether there will be a short period of consciousness in the head after being beheaded, and on the occasion of the execution after the conviction, he made an agreement with the executioner that after cutting off my head, please count the number of times I have broken my head and blinked.
The executioner kept his promise,
After counting them carefully,
Blink eleven times,
That's half a minute.
And his own sword may be faster than the executioner's sword,
So the old man surnamed Xie blinked more often,
Naturally, the period of retaining consciousness is a little longer.
......
This is a meaningless experiment, but now the results of this experiment can be corroborated, people will be conscious after being beheaded, and I think it is also from the separation of the skull, to the lack of blood supply and oxygen supply, and to the fact that it is not really active, losing consciousness, and it has to happen instantly.
"It turns out that death is a process. ”
The young man looked at the head on the ground and muttered softly, and not far behind him, Zhang Yi also walked forward silently, following a few steps behind the young man, looking at the headless corpse on the ground.
"Maybe it's still a very painful process......
"Alive, isn't it?"
The young man looked up at the cold moonlight and thought softly.
"But if they live, the people below will never live well. ”
Zhang Yi sighed softly.
"Your Highness, tonight is destined to be a river of blood, and there will be a lot of deaths, but in the future, I think that there will be many fewer people who will die in the world. ”
"Sir, won't you avoid it?"
The young man subconsciously asked, in the end, Zhang Yi is also a literati, he can scold Fang Yu in the court, he can turn the clouds and rain between countries, and he can change the general trend of the world while talking and laughing, but such a bloody scene may still be difficult to accept.
"Still not!"
Zhang Yi shook his head slowly.
"It's a little more intuitive. ”
"I can also understand the weight of the burden on my shoulders. ”
Zhang Yi looked at the frightened faces in Xie's mansion and slowly spoke, when the head of the old man surnamed Xie fell to the ground, the guards in the mansion had fled in a hurry, and the brave Liangzhou soldiers followed closely with their knives, and everything was doomed to be in vain, because looking down from the sky, a whole group of Liangzhou soldiers had surrounded the entire Yongle Fang.
......
"That's fine,"
"Just follow what you want. ”
The young man nodded and stepped in,
Zhang Yi silently followed behind him,
Inner Courtyard,
The soldiers who had just rushed inside, who had just cut down a guard who was in a panic, looked up and looked at a group of women from the Xie Mansion who were crowded together in the corner of the courtyard.
"Captain Zhang, this ......"
The Liangzhou soldier at the forefront hesitated,
tightened the cool knife that was still dripping blood,
"Wait......"
"If not, let the brothers below be quicker. ”
The leading lieutenant silently wiped the blood stains on the knife on the corpse on the ground, waved his hand, and the dozens of soldiers behind him swarmed in, surrounding the group of women who were huddled together.
"Mother, where did grandpa go?"
The pretty woman was holding a childish child in her hand at the moment, and she was looking up at the gate of the courtyard at the moment, perhaps because she was used to Xie Chun'an's majesty in the past, and the first thing she remembered in the panic was that person, but she still couldn't see it when she looked around.
"Qing'er, don't make trouble. ”
"Be quiet!"
The pretty-looking young woman silently leaned her daughter into her arms, the cold knife around her was already on her neck, and she looked at the tall Liangzhou soldier behind her with a pleading expression, and a trace of pity flashed in the latter's eyes, but the knife edge still did not loosen at all.
"Woo, woo, woo......"
There were constant sobs all around,
Just a cursory glance is no less than dozens or hundreds of women and children,
It's not much,
But you must know that Shangjing City is only a part of the Xie family's lineage, and the so-called Zhujiu clan is worth killing the four fathers, the third mothers, the two wives, and the side branches.
After all, just one person from the Xie family who wants to be beheaded will cost more than 10,000.
"Mother, are we going to die?"
The childish boy looked at the soldiers who kept passing outside the courtyard, and looked at the bright sword soldiers burying their heads in the arms of their mothers, and asked softly.
"No......"
The young woman choked up, and her cold hands rested lightly on the child's eyes, preventing her from seeing the killing that was going on in the house.
"No, it won't,"
"No, it won't,"
The woman muttered softly.
"Mother, did grandpa break the law?"
"Qing'er has seen it in the past, they are all officers and soldiers. ”
I don't know how long it took for the little girl in her arms to open her eyes wide, and her eyes could see through the fingers of her mother, and she could see clearly what the soldiers were wearing.
"Mother, we don't really want to die, do we?"
Qing'er still remembers that two months ago, officers and soldiers dressed like this went to Grandpa Wei's house. ”
"And then ......"
"Then Qing'er, I haven't seen Grandpa Wei again......"
"Qing'er ......"
"No,
"Even if grandpa committed some crime. ”
"We don't know it, and we are innocent ......"
The woman listened to the little girl's immature voice, and the tears that she had managed to collect welled up again, and at this moment the wailing of the man in the house gradually subsided, and the dull sound of the knife entering the flesh was only occasionally remembered, as if everything had come to an end.
......
"Sir, do you think they deserve to die?"
"Are the wives and children of the prisoner's family innocent?"
At the entrance of the hospital,
The young man listened to the woman's low sobs and looked at Zhang Yi on the side, he already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to hear his answer, because what he wanted to do in the future would inevitably break countless families, countless wives and wives were separated, and countless women and children fell under the sword.
And under the national war, there has never been a woman's kindness!
Mercy is what the victor gives to the loser, and the young man doesn't mind giving a little bit of his kindness, but it's still far from that time.
"His Royal Highness can't bear it, and Zhang Yi can't bear it either. ”
"But if it is about ......"
Zhang Yi paused when he said this,
"Innocent?"
"The minister is not innocent when he thinks about it. ”
"In the final analysis, while they are enjoying the glory and wealth of the Xie family, they also deserve to bear the debts owed by the Xie family, which is very cruel, but it is fair for the ministers to think about it. ”
Zhang Yi muttered.
"Your Highness, behold, the long dress that the woman is wearing is spun from the finest silk, and the value of silk alone is no less than eighty taels of silver, and counting the manpower of it, it is probably not less than a hundred taels. ”
"And this hundred taels of silver is in the small city of Wei where the minister is located, which is enough for ordinary people to have no worries in their lives. ”
Zhang Yi is also from the Wei State in the background of this world, but this "Wei" is just Wei, and he was depressed in Wei, so he voted for the Qianguo, which is also the origin of the grace of knowing when they met.
The young man nodded thoughtfully,
The woman's face was already pale when she heard the voice, and she looked even more miserable.
"Your Highness is watching. ”
"The safety buckle tied with red thread on the child's body is crystal clear, extremely warm, and it is worth a lot of money, not to mention more, it can still be exchanged for a few hundred taels of silver on the market. ”
"You must know that these few hundred taels of silver are enough to redeem more than ten young women in the Golan in the small city where the minister is located, and there is still ......"
"All their wealth and glory are because of the Xie family,"
"There's no reason not to go with it. ”
Zhang Yi's words were extremely calm,
The sobs of the women and children did not change in the slightest.
And the woman in the middle of the room heard the voice,
smiled coldly, his face was pale,
"Sir, there is a point. ”
The young man silently added another sentence in his heart,
At least in this world, it's true,
"Sir, if he returns to his hometown in the future, can he do the same in the face of the people of Wei?"
The young man asked again with burning eyes,
"Naturally!"
Zhang Yi said without thinking,
"If His Royal Highness can dominate the world in the future, he will not be divided between Qianqian and Wei, and the minister also believes that His Highness can treat the people of Wei well, because His Royal Highness is also like this to the people of Qingguo after leaving Liangzhou, and the minister believes that His Highness has this bearing!"
"And Yi, what I said today, I want to come. ”
"It is excellent for the Hereafter. ”
......
"Your Highness borrowed the sword in his hand. ”
The voice fell,
After Zhang Yi bowed,
Looking down at the stunned sword in the young man's hand, he said,
"Why?"
"Kill!"
"With this experience, I can also make the minister's heart. ”
"It's a little tougher. ”
Zhang Yi's gaze swept over the backyard, the tearful appearance of those women and children under the sword soldiers was inevitably unbearable, and the overly sensible appearance of the young child was even more heartbreaking, but some things have to be done, this is the battle of the world, so who can be alone?
"The world is like this, the sad husband Zhang Yi ......"
"Go ahead, sir. ”
The young man looked at the literati with the sword and muttered.
Moments later,
There was a woman's terrible scream in my ears,
The woman fell to her knees with her hair disheveled, a young corpse beside her, her eyes staring at Zhang Yi opposite, with anger, resentment, and heart-rending pain......
I don't know how long it took,
The sound gradually stopped,
The robe on Zhang Yi's body has been soaked in blood, turning dark red, and the soles of his feet are covered with blood, perhaps because he has killed too many people, and blood is still dripping from the sting sword.
"Your Highness!"
Zhang Yi handed out the long sword with a bitter smile.
He didn't look back,
I don't want to look at the scene behind me anymore,
returned the sword, got up, and silently walked into the distance,
There is a small lake in the backyard of Fuchu,
Zhang Yi wanted to reach out and get some water to wash her face to sober herself, but when she lowered her head, she found that the blood of the Xie family had dyed the originally clear lake water red.
If you look closely,
There are also dozens or hundreds of corpses rising and falling in the lake.
Blood is oozing from the wound,
"Sir, is it all right?"
The young man asked softly.
"No problem. ”
"Minister, the first time I killed someone, it made His Highness smile. ”
Zhang Yi's hands trembled slightly, his eyes were flushed with crimson, and he didn't know if it was because he was stained with too much blood, he looked inexplicably a little terrifying, but his body was indeed a little lonely.
"Your Highness, this is what a minister should go through. ”
Zhang Yi smiled,
Use the cuffs to wipe the blood off your face.
"After the blood flow tonight, as expected by the Meng Fuzi in the mouth of His Royal Highness, the general trend of the world has been turbulent, and if it is postponed, I am afraid that the general trend has become the power of no return to heaven, so the minister has to leave early. ”
Zhang Yi got up and said solemnly.
"Sir, have you figured out a way to break the game?"
"The Three Kingdoms in the distance, Eli promised. ”
"You can make friends, but you can't use swords!"
"As for the nearby countries, the minister already has a plan in his heart. ”
"Among them, the state of Chu, now its national strength is intact, and the rest of the countries are in general, although it has formed an alliance, it has no direct contradiction with our country, and it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers in vain, so as not to affect the whole body, and in the end the gains outweigh the losses, directly provoking the anger of all countries. ”
"The decision can only be based on Qi and Wei in the initial stage!"
"Break the face with a point!"
"Attack and defend!"
Zhang Yi put his hands behind him, and his clear voice sounded in the young man's ears unhurriedly.
"Dare to ask Mr. how to attack at the moment?"
"Dare to ask His Highness where the three counties of Qi are divided?"
Zhang Yi asked with a smile.
"The land of the three counties of Nanyang!"
"The land of the three counties is flat, and the water and grass are abundant!"
"It's the best place in the world to raise horses!"
Young Lang suddenly thought of something, the southern expedition has made the world see the benefits of cavalry, Qi, Wei even intuitively felt the horror of cavalry, and he chose these three counties in order to cut off the idea of Qi to cultivate cavalry in the future.
"Your Highness, Wei State, famous for Wei Wushu!"
"The rest of the foot soldiers are also elite soldiers. ”
"But there are no elite cavalry, even the eye-catching cavalry has never heard of it, why is that?"
Zhang Yi asked with a smile.
"Why?"
"Because!"
"In Wei Realm, there is no place to raise horses on a large scale, so we have to cultivate foot soldiers with the power of the country, which is also the reason why Wei Wu is the best in the world!"
The young man suddenly brightened.
"Your Highness, if you put this Qi realm Nanyang Three Counties Land!"
"What will happen if it is given to the State of Wei?"
Zhang Yi asked.
"There will be a gap!"
"The land of horse breeding in the three counties of Nanyang, if it is cultivated, it can make up for the last shortcoming in the Wei State, which is tantamount to a great temptation, with Wei Jun's courage, he may not dare to eat this bait!"
"What's more, the Northern Expedition, originally the Wei State was also pulled into the chariot by the Qi State halfway, if it wins, everyone will be happy, but now the Wei people may not have no resentment in their hearts!"
The young man muttered in a low voice.
"This is a yang scheme!"
"There is no way to avoid it!"
"The minister has already thought of the rules for going to Wei this time!"
Zhang Yi looked at Wei Du and muttered.
"Mr. is from Wei, and it is inevitable that he will ...... this trip."
"Your Highness treats him as a national soldier, and I will repay him as a national soldier. ”
"Your Highness's kindness will be repaid by life and death!"
Zhang Yi turned around and said solemnly.
"The eldest husband Changhong is full of energy, and he soars to the sky in one go, so that the world will change, maybe the minister will also be smashed to pieces and turned into dust, but it is always better than mediocrity and waste a lifetime!"
Zhang Yi spread her hands and murmured softly.
"The life of the eldest husband is earth-shattering, and the death is vigorous. ”
"You can't live this life silently!"
Finally, raise your arms and shout!
"Today, by the sail of His Royal Highness, if you can die and the wind will spread and the princes will be afraid, and the wind will spread and the world will rest in peace......"
"Then,"
"This life is in vain,"
"It's worth it!
In the end, Zhang Yi's tone rose sharply,
Arms down,
Don't stop thinking about it!
"Your Highness, I am leaving!"
After Zhang Yi saluted,
smiled and walked away with blood stains all over the ground.
"The minister has nothing else to do, only ink in the belly and tongue in the mouth. ”
"Wait,"
"With a three-inch tongue in his mouth, the minister said that he would come down with His Highness!"
The figure wearing a square scarf and a robe gradually disappeared into the night, but the words still echoed in the young man's ears.
"Sir, what a wise man in the world!"
The young man bowed solemnly in the direction where Zhang Yi disappeared.
