764 Hades
Hades also looked at Xiong Wei and smiled politely at him. γFengyun Reading Networkγ
Xiong Wei looked around, this is a big mountain D, the so-called hall was just built on the mountain, and there are three big characters on the rock above the bottom of D: Hades Palace.
The whole body of the mountain rock is black, and if you don't pay attention, you may not be able to see it from a distance.
This D didn't know if there were any other exits, Xiong Wei only saw an exit in front of him, and he had just come in from there.
The D wall is also uneven, and there are many "people" standing around it, and they are all wearing masks of demons and monsters, and they look at it in the blink of an eye, as if they have really entered hell.
Before Xiong Wei came, he thought that he was going to break through the sword mountain and the sea of fire, but he didn't expect this to be the scene after coming in.
Xiong Wei looked at it strangely, only the old man did not have a mask. The old man looked back at Xiong Wei and said, "Lord Xiong, this is Lu Longsai." β
Xiong Wei nodded, still staring at the group of people, although they were all wearing masks, but all of them had their chests up, and their movements were the same, it was obvious that they were a group of trained people, not ordinary bandits.
Xiong Wei "chuckled" inexplicably in his heart, and approached the demons and monsters standing in Mountain D, Xiong Wei immediately felt from the bottom of his heart that there was an indescribable familiarity in these people, a long-lost acquaintance......
"They are ......" came to his lips, and Xiong Wei swallowed the words back. He paused for a moment and thought for a moment before continuing, "Wouldn't they also be Xiong Wei's former brothers!"
When the old man heard this, he subconsciously wiped his eyes with his hand.
"You?" Xiong Wei hugged his hands and saluted loudly, "Xiong Wei doesn't know why all the heroes invited Xiong Wei to come here, since Xiong Wei is here, then please treat each other with sincerity and take off your mask." β
Demons and monsters, you look at me, I look at you, and they have taken off their masks......
"Ahh
Xiong Wei looked at the old man and said excitedly: "I remember, you are the spy in Master Zhang's army." β
Xiong Wei looked at the group of soldiers not far in front of him, he remembered, rushed over and looked at them carefully one by one, and said, "You are the soldiers who followed me to raid the Nurhachi Tent. β
Xiong Wei looked at more people, looked at the soldiers who had fought together, looked at it, Xiong Wei also shed tears, Xiong Wei said excitedly: "Life and death can still meet here, Xiong Wei thanked everyone." β
"Lord Bear...... Lord Xiong, we are all soldiers who participated in the Battle of Sarhu. β
Someone spoke, but only said a word and then didn't say anything.
Xiong Wei looked at everyone and asked puzzledly: "You are all soldiers from Liaodong, and you all participated in the Battle of Sarhu?"
Everyone nodded, and more people replied: "Lord Xiong, these of us are all soldiers who participated in the battle of Salhu back then. β
"Yes...... But why are you pretending to be a ghost here?"
It's okay that Xiong Wei didn't ask, but no one answered, the soldiers lowered their heads, and some of them choked in a low voice.
Xiong Wei opened his eyes to look at this, and then at that, Xiong Wei was an anxious person, and he was dumbfounded when he saw this situation, and he shouted at everyone inexplicably: "What's wrong with you?
Quietly, Xiong Wei walked up to a group of people, looked at them and asked, "Which army are you?"
"Lord Xiong, we were the Eastern Route Army of the Battle of Salhu, and after the defeat, we lost our connection, and most of them were wounded and retreated all the way here. β
Xiong Wei heard someone say, after this person finished speaking, Xiong Wei turned to the other team of people, Xiong Wei had not spoken, and someone spoke again.
"Alas!" the person who spoke looked at the group just now and sighed, "Your Eastern Route Army has also fought a few battles with Nurhachi, and our Southern Route Army called that nest, and it didn't even fight, and when it heard that the two armies of Juniper and Marin were defeated, they fled in horror and trampled on each other......"
"Ahh......h
Before Xiong Wei could continue, he heard them say: "Lord Xiong, some of us have been injured and retreated, and some of us are deserters...... We all felt defeated and had no shame to go home, so we stayed in Luronse. β
"yes, it's too wretched, and I don't have a face to see people. Someone added.
"Then you can go back to Liaodong and continue to fight. Xiong Wei said loudly, "You go with Xiong Wei, and we will drive the Qing soldiers away together, and you can go home." β
Xiong Wei didn't say that it was okay, Xiong Wei said that more people were whispering, and when Xiong Qi was depressed, someone suddenly said loudly: "Lord Xiong, it's not that we are afraid of death, it's really that the ambush is too bad, we don't want to see the Lord of Yama and don't know how to die." β
Before Xiong Wei could speak, someone else said, "Lord Xiong, we don't want to fight." The commander of the Ming Dynasty is really incompetent, and we will die in vain when we go to war. β
"You don't want to serve the court and contribute to the country...... Xiong Wei looked at this and that, "You should know that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!"
Listening to Xiong Wei's words, the fatal judge shook his head and stepped forward and said, "Lord Xiong, the current imperial court is controlled by a eunuch, and that little emperor can only carve wood a day, and they are indiscriminate. We have lost the battle, and we will surely be punished when we return. Re-entering the Liaodong war, the commander is as incompetent as above, and it is a dead end if he still has to lose the battle. Now we have no face to go home, we really have no way to serve the country, and it is difficult to return home!"
The Judge said, his eyes flushed.
Urging the king of Hades to step forward and hug Xiong Wei with both hands, he saluted and said, "Lord Xiong, my surname is Li, I am the adjutant of Li Rubai's subordinates, and Li Rubai committed suicide......"
Li Rubai committed suicide a year ago, and Xiong Wei knew about it, and he felt a little sad when he heard that he urged the king of Hades to mention it.
Xiong Wei looked back while listening, and happened to see three big characters on the rock in the hall: Hades Palace.
Looking at the soldiers on the battlefield in front of him, Xiong Wei was speechless, these are the pillars of the country!
Xiong Wei looked at the sky outside D, and I don't know when, a large snowflake fell in the sky again, and the wind poured in from D's mouth. Look at Lu Longsai again, except for the hall in front of him, which is built on the mountain, which is a natural big rock D, there is no room in the four rooms, and there are grains and quilts...... How do these soldiers survive the winter?
"Alas!" Xiong Wei also sighed, smashing his left hand into his right hand with a fist, "It's been almost three years since the defeat of Salhu, how have you spent these three years......?"
Xiong Wei remembered the murder of the old woman's son and the occupation of her daughter-in-law, and his expression suddenly became very serious and asked: "You have robbed the house and harmed the people......
"Lord Xiong, although we occupy the mountains as kings, we have not robbed, stolen, or harmed the common people. β
"So, what did the old woman ...... just now?"
"Lord Xiong, the little woman was offended just now, and I ask you to forgive me. Before Xiong Wei finished speaking, the old woman turned around and gave Xiong Wei the etiquette of a daughter's house.
"You ......" Xiong Wei looked at the old woman clearly, only to see that the wrinkles on the old woman's face were even drier.
"Hehe!" the old woman reached out and removed the mask from her face, revealing a delicate face, "Little woman Lu Shu, the daughter of Lord Lu Longsai, meet Lord Xiong." β
"What's going on? Xiong is stupid, and asked Miss Lu to tell him. Xiong Wei returned the salute and said.
Lu Shu looked at Xiong Wei, suddenly blushed, and her daughter's family said shyly.
"In the early years, my ancestor did some small business in the capital and opened a jewelry store. His father was a petty official in the palace, and the family lived a peaceful life. β
"I don't want my father to suddenly come home from the official school one day, and run away with my brother, who has just turned eight. My father was running and talking about something, but before he could finish speaking, a man broke into the house......"
"Eight-year-old brother?" Xiong Wei was really shocked when he heard this, he forced a calm look at Lu Shu, this Lu Shu looks like she is only seven or eight out of ten, she was not born when this story happened, how could Lu Shu know?
Xiong asked with difficulty, "How old were you at that time?"
"Hmm. Lu Shu nodded and said again, "At that time, I was not born yet, I listened to my mother." β
Xiong Wei also nodded, and suddenly remembered Ouyang Ying in his heart, this Lu Shu in front of him was not much younger than Ouyang Ying, I heard Ouyang Ying say that the whole family was also killed, Ouyang Ying has not explained the reason for the murder of the family, is it also the task of "eight-year-old brother"?
Xiong Wei was really shocked when he thought of this, could it be that the murder of Ouyang Ying's family was really the task of "killing all the eight-year-old children in the world"? Fortunately, Xiong Wei had also been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and although he was shocked in his heart, he still listened to Lu Shu continue to talk quietly.
Lu Shu's father escaped with his eight-year-old brother in his arms, not wanting to be chased and killed all the way, and finally escaped from the capital, and the killer also chased out of the capital, and Lu Shu's father was chased to a cliff outside the city.
During the fight, the killer snatched Lu Shu's brother and kicked his father off a cliff, just in time to be rescued by Lord Lu Longsaisai.
Later, Lu Shu's father sneaked back to the capital to learn that the child had been killed, and even the family and dozens of servants were also killed.
Lu Shu's father returned to Lu Longsai alone, changed his name to Lu from then on, and became a relative to the daughter of Lu Longsai, and gave birth to Lu Shu.
When Xiong Wei heard this, the surprise in his heart can be imagined, so he had to be secretly frightened, and he didn't dare to reveal it, and asked incoherently: "What about your father, Miss Lu?"
In order to avenge his family, his father went into Beijing alone many times to look for clues, but he did not find the enemy. One year, my father suddenly came home and said that it was a bit clear, and many of the children and their families who died that year were also killed. β
Lu Shu's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she choked up and said, "That is, this time, my father went to Beijing again to look for the enemy and never came back." My mother missed her too much, and she left Shu'er a few years ago. Before leaving, my mother told Lu Shu these ......"
