Chapter 3 The Past and the Past

Emperor Shaoshang ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, determined to create a bright blue sky for the common people, led the seven armies of the Xia Dynasty, and destroyed the four kingdoms......;

"Uh...... Uncle, my mother-in-law said all this yesterday, can you jump directly to the back! How did our Yong'an City become like this?"

Zhao Qi listened to Xu Hai's chatter for a long time, seeing that he had already taken out his cigarette pouch, and saw that the posture was energetic, and he was ready to give himself a long speech. Zhao Qi hurriedly came out and interrupted.

Although Zhao Qi has forgotten some of the past events, Zhao Qi still remembers some important events! Xu Hai always said some things that he knew very well, and he also said half-truths, even if he praised himself slowly, Zhao Qi did not have the perseverance to insist on listening.

"You child, don't be impatient...... That's not going to be right away. I don't even know how to understand me, an old man. Where did I just go? I forgot what I just said when you interrupted me. After speaking, Xu Hai knocked the finished pipe on the stone slab, pinched a little tobacco into it, and took a deep breath before continuing to tell the story......

After tossing and turning for a long time, Zhao Qi interrupted a few times before listening to the modern history of the Xia Dynasty (Xu Hai version) in the evening.

After knocking on the side, Zhao Qi gradually understood what happened after he was robbed, and he also rubbed a few rice balls from the old man's house in the middle......

It turned out that after the robbery of the old prisoner, the Four-Nation Alliance met with Yong'an to discuss how to divide the territory of Great Xia equally. Because of the divine decree and the hints of the three sects, no one dares to touch the land of eternal peace. But the four countries will not stop there, and after sending off the three helpers, they secretly decided to loot Yong'an City.

Most of the coalition forces were prisoners under the Seventh Army of Great Xia, and while they were working hard to loot the people's fat and ointment, they released all the fears and resentments in their hearts against the Seven Armies of Great Xia on the people as if they were starting a competition. If it weren't for the iron law set by Wu Zhi, the famous general of Shu State, and killed several groups of soldiers, he would have been able to curb the atrocities of slaughtering the people.

Within seven days of stationing in Yong'an City, the coalition army dug three feet into the ground, even smashed the wall skin, and ransacked the huge Yong'an City like a locust plague......

When they left, the wealth plundered by the four countries was more than rich, and the carriage like a long dragon drove from the four city gates into the distance. Each soldier wore gold and silver, carried a beautiful woman in his arm, and even carried dozens of necklaces on his spear. Many of the officers were followed by rows of Yong'an Zhuangding carrying treasures, and they rode on tall horses to talk and laugh on their return journey, and only need to hold a hemp rope in their hands to bring the wealth of several generations back to their hometowns......

After the catastrophe, there were only more than 100,000 old and young women and children left in the millions of Yong'an people, and less than half of them were captured as slaves, but more fell at home forever......

Wu Zhi witnessed all this tragedy, but he could not do anything, as did the soldiers of other countries, and his weak orders would only cause dissatisfaction and even mutiny among the soldiers. When he left Yong'an City, Wu Zhi had no property, the only sword was a mar, and after bowing to Yong'an City three times, he said to his deputy:

"When the army is defeated, the figure is hooked. bullying the people, but like a tiger and wolf. I see it as cold. You and the Seventh Army of the Xia Dynasty are incomparable. When I return, I will return to my hometown, and I will be ashamed to be with you......"

Although Xu Hai omitted a lot of inappropriate plots for children, Zhao Qi was still stunned when he heard it, and his nails were deeply locked in his flesh, as if this was the only way to suppress the anger in his heart.

Daozu, Buddha...... This is what you promised, one person will do the work, one person will do the work, I promised you to stop the war in order to prevent the people from suffering, how dare you lie to me like this......

Zhao Qi took advantage of Xu Hai's intoxication in the smoke, calmed down a little, looked at Xu Hai with red eyes, and said:

"Old man, you hate... Emperor Shaoshang?"

Xu Hai heard the strangeness in Zhao Qi's tone, turned his head and saw that Zhao Qi's eyes were red, and he stretched out his rough hand to pat Zhao Qi's back with pity, and said lovingly:

"You kid, what's so sad about it. I have lived for so many years, the young Shang Emperor is a virtuous and virtuous monarch, and those ten years have been the most comfortable and prosperous life in this life. Maybe the whole world hates Emperor Shaoshang, but our people in Yongan will remember his goodness, and he will always be our hero.

Even my son, who was a soldier, said every time he came back from a battle, how much his army was loved, and many ordinary people in other countries never panicked when they saw the Xia Dynasty army......

Alas, it's a pity! The arms still can't reach the thighs! Our young Shang Emperor ......"

Listening quietly, Zhao Qi waited by the side until sunset, then said goodbye to the chatty old man, and walked back briskly along the road he came. Zhao Qi clenched his hands tightly for fear that the blood would fall out, but he didn't go far, the blood seeped out of his fingers, and in a corner where no one was around, Zhao Qi threw the blood in his palm on the wall and rushed home.

At the door of the house, Zhao Yuxin held a book in her left hand, and held a burning stick in her right hand to practice calligraphy on the stone slab.

"Little beggar, you have the ability! Now you dare not go home for dinner, where is the lunch solved?"

Although she didn't expect Zhao Qi to say anything, Zhao Yuxin still asked first, and she was ready to do it, after all, it is not a woman's habit to shoot without finding fault, and she must have the upper hand.

"Imperial City!"

Zhao Qi walked solemnly, and went into the house without looking back, and only when he entered the door did a childish voice float out.

"Huh?"

Zhao Yuxin was so shocked that her mouth turned into an O-shape, and she watched Zhao Qi drill into her room in a daze.

Did she hallucinate? It seemed like the little beggar was talking to herself. No, I'll have to ask again. Thinking of this, Zhao Yuxin hurriedly rushed into the bedroom and found Zhao Qi sitting on the edge of the bed, slowly wrapping a white cloth around his palm.

"Little beggar, what's wrong with you? I've been beaten again! Do you want my sister to be angry with you? I'll tell you, I'm ...... this morning."

This was the voice of Granny Lan who suddenly came from outside the door, "Yuxin, is Qi'er back?" You come over to cook, and I'll clean him up." ”

"No, I hurt myself. You told my mother-in-law that I was a little unwell today, so I went to sleep first. ”

Zhao Qi listened to the story of the day, and there were waves in his chest, he knew that he had to calm down as soon as possible, how could he still have the heart to eat, and when he heard that Granny Lan had to clean up herself, he hurriedly wrapped up his wounds, and went to sleep with his head covered in the quilt.

"Ah, it's really you who speak! Mother-in-law, the little beggar is talking!"

Zhao Yuxin rushed to the door, and saw Granny Lan walking out of the kitchen with a burning stick, rushing up excitedly to hug Granny Lan's arm, and said excitedly:

"Mother-in-law, the little beggar talked to me just now!

"You kid, what nonsense are you talking about! Let you not call the little beggar, let others hear how bad it is, Qi'er will be the one who wants to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. You go to cook, and I will teach him a lesson, this child will not fight for three days, and go to the house to uncover the tiles. ”

"It's true, mother-in-law. If you don't believe me, let's go and ask him together, what do you ask? Hurry up and cook rice. After speaking, Granny Lan waved the burning stick in her hand and was about to fight, Zhao Yuxin could only squat helplessly by the stove to burn the fire, not remembering what Zhao Qi had just asked.

"Zhao Qi, what are you doing! Hurry up, you dare not go home to eat, you are simply begging for a beating. ”

Before Granny Lan lifted Zhao Qi's quilt, Zhao Qi showed his head from the quilt, "Mother-in-law, I was wrong!

Hearing that Zhao Qi actually opened his mouth to speak, Granny Lan was shocked that the burning sticks fell on the bed, and it took a long time to react, remembering what Zhao Qi had just said, "Oh, oh, oh." You go to sleep first! Mother-in-law, I'm going to get some food. ”

The delighted Granny Lan picked up the burning stick, and before leaving, she didn't forget to help Zhao Qi clean the black ash on the quilt and fold the quilt with her hands. When she walked to the door, Granny Lan's tears flowed uncontrollably, and she muttered: "Qi'er has opened her mind! Qi'er is not stupid......

Zhao Yuxin, who was sitting on the small bench, saw her mother-in-law's tearful appearance, and her eyes were a little red, but she knew that now was not the time to disturb her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law and grandson were speechless, both cautiously afraid of disturbing the sleeping Zhao Qi, and they were looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow......
