Volume 1 Troubled Boys Chapter 323 See each other in prison
Bidding farewell to Wen Qingqing and the two hundred soldiers of the Yue family, Yue Lei and Luo went north on their horses, facing Lin'an, looking at the world from afar, and nodded firmly to each other.
"Do you remember what it looked like when you fought on the battlefield?" asked Yue Lei.
Luo Bei nodded and said, "I will never forget the blood-stained dusk, and I will never forget the eyes of Brother Yang when he died in battle......
Yue Lei suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Luo Bei on the shoulder, and said loudly: "The road of life is like the ancient road in front of you, you can't see the edge at a glance, when I came to the army at the beginning of the year, I heard them say a sentence, born as a man, the pride is strong, burn the fire and cry blood, since then I know how cruel this road is, some people walk, some people come, and the burden of survival will be more and more......"
"But my father told me that people who come out of life and death should not be silent in life and death, but turn those dead soldiers, their unfinished lives, into their own courage, as long as people have courage, there is nothing to fear!"
"Rakuhoku ......"
"Huh?"
"Do you believe that Father is innocent?"
Luo Bei replied without hesitation.
"Believe!"
There was no time in his life when he was more certain than now.
Yue Lei patted the horse's buttocks of the red coral, and the red coral hissed and jumped out.
"Father, you must wait for me......"
Under the sunset, the long wind gradually became a howling trend, rolling up the yellow sand road, as if covering the road in front of you.
At this time, the two of them walked to the middle of a narrow road, and the peaks on both sides were hidden in the dense forest, and the sound of birds and insects could be faintly heard, which seemed very quiet.
Yue Lei looked around and said, "If the army is marching and fighting, such a place must be extremely dangerous......
He picked up the kettle and took a sip of water, then handed it to Luobei, but Luobei didn't pick it up, because he was hearing the panicked sound of birds and beasts in the dense forest.
This can't help but remind him of the killer hidden in the deep jungle of Wan'an Temple, the birds in the forest forage among the forests and blades of grass, they have long been accustomed to those dull and damp places, and naturally they will not panic for no reason, if there is an abnormality, it must be extraordinary.
Suddenly, there was a sudden change in the forest, and everything was calm as usual on the surface, but Luobei's more sensitive perception allowed him to feel the rapid change of the air flow in the air dozens of zhang away, which was a strange perception ability that he had born since Mi Li Mustard Seed drank the free divine tea, and sometimes the body's perception even exceeded his reaction speed.
"Be careful!" he shouted.
Yue Lei was startled by his sudden scream, but he knew that Luo Bei would naturally not do this for no reason, and he was alert and instantly pressed the spear hanging from the saddle with his hand.
A "whoosh" sounded coming.
Yue Lei had already heard the roaring voice at this time, so he immediately leaned back.
A feather arrow with the sound of piercing the air actually roared from the forest, if Luo Bei hadn't felt it earlier, I was afraid that the two of them had been injured by an ambush.
Even so, the feather arrow just pierced the kettle in Yue Lei's hand, and at that moment, the weight suddenly increased, and he could only let go, and when he got up and sat down again, he saw that the kettle that fell on the ground had been shot through a small hole, and the water gushed out from the small hole, everywhere.
Yue Lei took off his spear and held it in his hand, but he was still secretly frightened, the moment just now was too dangerous, if it wasn't for Luo Bei screaming, he might have been hit by an arrow and fell off his horse.
"Somebody's there
Ambush?" he shouted into the woods.
Soon, he and Luo Bei saw the woods on the hillsides on both sides scurrying for a while, and then countless war horses and figures were revealed.
They were all dressed in armor, armed with spears, and with curved bows on their backs, all of them with keen eyes, apparently trained for a long time.
Slowly, a big flag was erected, and then a veteran with a slightly white beard, but still in good spirits, slowly appeared.
Yue Lei fixed his eyes and couldn't help but feel like ashes, because the flag turned out to be the military flag of the Great Song Dynasty, and the veteran who appeared in the middle was also Zhang Jun, a veteran who was quite prestigious in the Great Song Army.
"Old General Zhang?" Yue Lei couldn't help but exclaim.
The veteran stroked his beard with his hand, his face was as cold as iron, and he said loudly: "I didn't think you would recognize me!"
Yue Lei asked loudly, "I don't know why the old general is hurting people with hidden arrows here?"
Zhang Jun laughed and said: "Your father is now a criminal minister, in order to prevent your Yue family's army from plotting rebellion, the imperial court specially dispatched me to intercept it halfway, and now this place has been surrounded by my large army, you two can't escape here no matter what, it's better to get off the horse quickly, and capture me and go back to apologize to Your Majesty!"
After that, he glanced at the soldiers around him, and even let people drop two flagpoles from the hillside.
Yue Lei looked down and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, because how could he not be familiar with that flag, it was the thing of the Yue family's army, and he recognized that it was the two hundred people who came with him, and now it was thrown in front of his eyes by Zhang Jun, and it was bloodstained on it, everything was naturally self-evident.
Looking down for a long time, he couldn't even take his eyes off it, Luo Bei also understood it at a glance, and in addition to being shocked in his heart, he felt sad for those soldiers, they had not died on the battlefield for many years, but they died in the hands of their comrades, how could they not be sad?
Yue Lei slowly raised his head, looked at Zhang Jun, a veteran whose face was like iron and his heart was even more like iron stone, waved the spear in his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "What crime do they have, they have survived a hundred battles, but they died in the hands of you people?"
Zhang Jun sneered: "What qualifications do you have to come and ask me, a yellow-haired boy? Are you willing to meet with arms between your comrades and siblings? Isn't it your Yue's family that annoyed Your Majesty to cause today's fruit?"
His gaze swept over Yue Lei and Luo Bei, and he saw that Yue Lei was long and heroic, holding a spear just like Yue Fei back then, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and the other young man beside him looked much more ordinary compared to him, and he didn't think of it at all.
"Capture Yue Lei alive, if you can't ...... Take the corpse back......" He said indifferently, and then led the horse and turned away.
Next, hundreds of elite cavalry suddenly poured down from the hillside like a tide, and in an instant, Yue Lei and Luobei were about to be submerged in it.
......
In the gloomy and damp prison of Dali Temple, the painful cries of the prisoners when they were tortured were heard from time to time, which filled this place with a terrifying veil.
Suddenly, all the officials in the prison retreated, leaving only Qi Lin and Zuo Zhengming of Dali Temple to guard in front of the stone gate of the prison.
The small sedan chair has been carried here to stop, from the style of the sedan chair there is nothing special, even the general squire in Lin'an City also uses, but can walk into the Dali Temple, and to this Dali Temple is one of the most important places, which shows that the people sitting in this ordinary sedan chair are not ordinary.
The sedan curtain was lifted, and a man walked down, draped in a black cloak, and he was not wearing an official uniform, but an ordinary scholar.
Qi Lin seemed to be thinking about something, and he was out of his mind for a while
It was Zuo Zhengming next to him who stabbed him before he reacted, stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Qin Xiang, you are here......"
Qin Hui smiled and helped Qi Lin up, his eyes looking at the stone gate of Dali Temple Prison.
"Let's go, take me to meet him......"
Qi Lin ordered someone to open the iron lock on the stone door, and then turned sideways and said, "Your Excellency, please!"
Qin Hui was the first to walk in without thinking, followed by two black-clothed guards behind him, Qi Lin did not follow him in, but let Zuo Zhengming accompany him.
Qi Lin's eyes changed, looking at Qin Hui's back, thinking that the situation in the court was changing now, and the general Yue Fei had been in prison for a few days, but no one had ever come to see him in prison, but I don't know why Qin Hui came silently?
The cell door opened, Yue Fei's original white prison clothes were already covered in blood, obviously he had been tortured, he wore his hair scattered, and sat with his back to the cell door facing the wall.
His back was still so straight, as if he had never given in to this place in the slightest.
Zuo Zhengming opened the cell door and retreated, far enough away.
The two black-clothed guards were just about to step forward, afraid that Qin Hui would be hurt in the face of Yue Fei in prison, but they were stopped by Qin Hui, he shook his head and said, "You guys just retreat aside!"
"General Yue, you have suffered...... Qin Hui said.
Yue Fei didn't move, although he didn't expect Qin Hui to come, he wasn't surprised.
"I can't imagine that a noble person like Qin Xiang would come to such a place to meet a guilty person like me!" Yue Fei's voice trembled a little as he spoke, thinking that the suffering of the flesh and skin on his body made him extremely weak.
"General Yue has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he must have been used to seeing life and death for a long time, but have you ever thought that if you are in this prison for a day, those soldiers of the Yue family army will not be at peace, and they will definitely try their best to save you, so ......?"
"There is a sentence that may not be said, but if the king lets his ministers die, how can he not die, why not confess here, and avoid the pain of flesh and skin, I can even go to His Majesty to intercede to protect the 100,000 soldiers of the Yue family's army......"
Yue Fei's body froze, and then slowly raised his head.
Seeing that Yue Fei didn't respond, Qin Hui took out something from his sleeve and threw it in front of Yue Fei, Yue Fei looked down, and naturally he didn't need to carefully identify it to know what it was, the blood-stained Yue family army flag.
He was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that what he was most worried about still happened, whether Han Shizhong and Luo Bei didn't have time or failed to stop him There is no way to know, but this flag will not be fake, let alone the blood on it.
"They are all hot-blooded men of my Great Song Dynasty, how many times have they spilled blood on the battlefield together, but they didn't expect to end up with blood in the hands ......of their comrades," Yue Fei said sadly.
"No matter what, what a great crime it is for the Yue family army to leave their posts without receiving the transfer order and go to Lin'an without permission? General Yue still remembers Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan back then?"
Yue Fei laughed miserably and said, "Every day is Zhaozhao, every day is Zhaozhao, I, Yue Fei, have been with the territory for half my life, how can I ever have half of my selfishness?
Qin Hui also smiled faintly, he looked at the scarred general in front of him, sighed and said: "Many things in this world are only how people look at them, and who really cares about the truth!"
"Yue Fei, Yue Fei, you may become a famous general through the ages, but after all, you don't know the truth of this person's sophistication!"
I don't know if Yue Fei heard his last words, but after that, he walked out of the prison, and finally glanced back at Yue Fei, with a trace of regret in his eyes.
