Chapter 9: Worthy of your family and country, and worthy of you
On the snowfield, a young figure slowly floated down to the sky above the ten swords of Danping with his hands on his back.
The young man looked indifferently at the ten people who were walking with the sword in the sky, and muttered to himself, "It's too late." ”
"Come a day early, and you will be able to return safely to receive the merits. ”
"You and the rats were unlucky, and they met me who happened to come on the spot. ”
The young man's gaze turned to Chen Xifeng, the head of the ten swords, and a touch of incredulity appeared in his indifferent eyes.
"Huh......"
"Is that you?"
Immediately remembering that this was six hundred years later, the look of surprise on his face slowly dissipated.
"You don't have to go forward, the person you are looking for is here!"
When the ten people heard this, they immediately stopped.
Except for Chen Xifeng, the other nine people were all full of panic, standing on the spot, beads of sweat from their foreheads.
Where are the nine people at the moment, what kind of outstanding demeanor is there.
Ever since he entered the hall on the way to the sword, his realm and perception have increased day by day, and he can smell the breath of everything around him.
Now the person who suddenly appeared behind him was not half aware of it, and the realm of the person behind him must be unfathomable.
Chen Xifeng slowly turned around and looked at the person in the sky behind him.
And the other nine people, seeing Chen Xifeng, who was safe and sound after turning around, carefully turned around and looked at the young man in the sky.
The nine people looked at each other, and no one opened their mouths to make a head bird.
It was clear that the person he was chasing and killing was right in front of him, but there was no joy at all.
Chen Xifeng had an intuition in his heart and told himself that as long as the person in front of him made a killing move, the ten senior brothers would be killed on the spot in the blink of an eye.
"Should I call you Han Shi at this moment?"
"It's a bit of a suspicion, but there's something I have to say. ”
"The first time I saw you, I didn't feel strange. ”
"I thought carefully about the few people I saw, but there was no face of yours among them. ”
"We've met?"
When the nine people heard Chen Xifeng's words, they inevitably felt a little contempt for this senior brother.
Speaking of which, you Chen Xifeng are also a first-class master of the contemporary era, how arrogant and high have you become in front of all the brothers and sisters on weekdays?
Why is there no master's temperament when you encounter hard stubble?
You are the head of the ten swords of Danping, and you are close to others in order to be stable, what kind of sword leader is you?
Why is the husband afraid of death?
Han Shili looked lonely in the sky above, and said flatly: "I've seen it." ”
didn't hide the sad look on his face at all, and his thoughts were already wandering because of the sentence "We've met?"
The middle-aged Confucian in Tsing Yi stood at the head of the city, looking up at the north, letting the cold wind ravage and lap his thin body.
"Now the internal strife is safe, and the external trouble has stopped. ”
"The way forward is up to you. ”
"You don't need to feel ashamed of me. ”
The middle-aged man behind the Confucian couldn't bear to look at the thin figure, looked at the southern land, couldn't bear the grief and indignation in his heart, and sighed softly: "I promised you back then that the world is the world of you and me. ”
"Now it's happening. ”
"When you think about the childish words you said when you were young, you can't help but feel absurd. ”
"One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, how can a country accommodate two kings?"
"Things that I took for granted in the past turned out to be wishful thinking. ”
"Too much helplessness to leave people sighing. ”
The middle-aged man turned his head to look at the Confucian scholar, and after a glance, he turned his head and closed his eyes, sighed again and asked, "Do you have to die?"
Without thinking, the Confucian replied directly: "You must die!"
"As you said, there is too much helplessness in life. ”
"Let me ask you, you and I are fighting hard, are you sure of victory?"
The middle-aged man looked complicated and was silent.
"It doesn't really matter who wins or loses. ”
"The important thing is that the peaceful and prosperous world we envisioned no longer exists. ”
"The power of our clan is now in full swing, and it is deeply rooted in the military and military forces of the government and the opposition. ”
"The trend of the two sides of the mountain has gradually taken shape. ”
"I am enough to seek the world. Ruling the world is a thousand miles away. ”
"From the beginning to the end, I never thought that one day I would sit on the dragon chair and become the Ninety-Five. ”
"But I can't help to. ”
"My clan is not weaker than you, why is the Nangong clan a royal family, but the Zhuang clan can only be used as a foil?"
"I don't want to be the emperor, my clan will have thousands of Zhuang Yu competing with you for the throne. ”
"At the beginning of pacifying the world, I was proud of my indisputability, and I thought I was worthy of the world. ”
"Only now do I understand that if you don't fight, you fight. ”
The middle-aged Confucian man sighed and continued: "The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. ”
"This truth summed up by countless ancestors with blood, you and I have a deep friendship, so I naturally don't care. ”
"And the people of the clan behind you and me are well aware of this. ”
"Naturally, both sides are on guard everywhere, and they both want to get rid of it as soon as possible. ”
"Now as today's unification, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt. ”
"If I don't die, the smoke will rise again. ”
"The people of the world have been looking forward to the stability of many generations, and it has disappeared in a blink of an eye. ”
"At this point, don't be kind to a woman. ”
"When I die, you must slaughter all my people. ”
"It is better to die a thousand by mistake than to leave a single person out. ”
......
With an order, the executioner raised his whip and slammed it towards the horse in front of him.
The five horses were in pain and galloped away in five different directions.
Then several eunuchs held white cloths in their hands and slowly walked towards the five corpses on the ground.
After several eunuchs wrapped the body, they walked straight towards the oil pot that was already smoking. The eunuchs stood in front of the oil pot with their bloody bodies at a time, waiting for orders.
"Cook the head!" The eunuch who was in the first place slowly lowered the white cloth and the bloody head into the oil pot.
The skull was put into the oil pot, and a snort sounded, and the hot oil in the pot blew the skin on the skull to pitch black in an instant, and an unpleasant mushy smell came to the face, and the chief eunuch hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose.
"Cook!" the two eunuchs slowly lowered the flesh and blood in their hands into the oil pot along with the white cloth. One eunuch could not bear the stench and sat on the ground vomiting.
"Cook!" ......
"Execution completed!"
"Fish out the sinner's body and release the dog!" ......
A group of strong, fierce dogs who had been hungry for three days scrambled from their crates to the place where the scent came from, frantically nibbling on the delicacies on the ground.
After a few moments, the ground was completely clean.
"After the execution, return to the palace to resume the decree. The big eunuch was expressionless and said flatly.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, red lanterns were lit in front of every house, and festive Spring Festival was pasted.
"New Year, New Year, Chinese New Year's Eve. The old man looked at the festive and peaceful sky dyed by the big red candles and muttered to himself.
"Mother, I'm hungry, when will Daddy come back?"
"As long as you're greedy, your father hasn't come back yet, you have to wait for your father to come back before you can eat, this is called a reunion dinner, and you have to eat it together as a family. A boy of seven or eight years old pouted. After that, he glanced at the table full of food and swallowed his saliva.
The girl looked aggrieved and said with teary eyes: "Oh. I know. ”
"Xun'er, don't be fierce to your sister all day long. ”
"Wan'er, my father will come back from the emperor's uncle in a while. The woman stroked the girl's tender cheek and said softly.
"Click," a sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
Then a group of halberd-wielded sabers poured into the room and stood in two columns.
The great eunuch strode into the room with the decree in his hand.
"Zhuang's order!" The big eunuch held the holy decree in his hand and looked at the mother and son in the house with an indifferent expression.
The woman stretched out her hand and pulled her two children, knelt on the ground together, and said softly, "Zhuang's order." ”
The girl raised her head and tilted her little head, looked at the high-spirited eunuch, her face was full of doubts, and asked in a childish voice, "Uncle, where is my father? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Are you from the Emperor's uncle?"
"Is my father still with the emperor's uncle?"
"You can help me urge my dad when you go back later. ”
"You just said that Wan'er was hungry and was waiting for him to come back to eat. ”
The big eunuch glanced at the immature girl indifferently and said sarcastically, "Good, you can go to your father's place in a while." ”
When the girl heard that she could see her father, she was naturally overjoyed, and quickly reconfirmed: "Uncle, is it true? I can see my father right away? Will I be able to eat delicious food right away?"
"It's true, Uncle doesn't lie to you. The big eunuch squinted and smiled.
When the woman heard this, she sighed with relief and said, "It's finally here." ”
Then he hugged the two children tightly in his arms, kissed the foreheads of the two children, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, my mother is here." ”
The big eunuch restrained his mind of playing with children, slowly opened his hand, and coughed and said: "Zhuang Yu is a wolf with ambition and intention to rebel, and he has now confessed to the law." ”
"However, the death of one person is difficult to counteract, and the nine clans of the Zhuang clan will be punished according to the law!"
......
The festive red light of the Chinese New Year's Eve also dyes the night sky with festive colors, and the red night sky makes people feel comfortable and stable when they look at it.
The deafening sound of firecrackers resounded in every corner of the imperial capital, so that the terrible slaughter, the painful screams, and the heart-rending cries were all muffled.
With the first rays of the dawn shining down, the originally quiet streets are restored to the hustle and bustle of the day.
The hawker sells his own goods, Xiao Erhei greets the passing guests with a smile on his face, the young man looks left and right at the past girl, the woman shyly chooses the fat powder of the favorite jewelry, the street every day, the people who come and return every day or come and go, the same, but not the same.
The huge Zhuang clan disappeared quietly on Chinese New Year's Eve, and no one knew about it. For ordinary people, it is a great blessing that they don't have to think about how to feed their stomachs tomorrow. As for the rest, I don't think about it, I don't dare to think about it, and I don't want to think about it.
"One thought of heaven, one thought of hell. ”
"If you think of yourself, all nine clans will be punished. ”
"I have left merit for eternity, and I have passed on my reputation for a thousand years. ”
"Is it worth it?"
"It's worth it. ”
This is the answer of the people in the world, and it is also your answer. ”
"It's not worth it, that's my answer. The middle-aged man named Nangong Yuan burst into tears and muttered to himself.
