son-in-law

Chapter 797

On the city wall on the eve of the early morning, the torches were still emitting their light. In the dimness outside the south gate of Zezhou, clusters of bonfires stretched far into the distance, and the crowd gathered here gradually quieted down.

In a leeward place under the city wall, some refugees were sleeping, and some remained awake, guarding a man lying on the ground with many bandages on his body.The man was about 30 years old, his clothes were shabby, stained with a lot of blood, and his hair was messy. Even after he was wrapped in a bandage, he could vaguely see a little blood.

The man didn't want to fall asleep, but he was too tired. He lay down while leaning against the city wall and dozing off a little. The crowd didn't want to wake him up, so he slept a little longer.

A gust of wind whistled past the city, and the man was suddenly awakened and opened his eyes.He was slightly awake and tried to get up, when a woman next to him helped him up: "What time is it?" he asked.

"It's almost dawn."

"I said to wake me up, I want... by the way, hot water, I want to wash it." His expression was a little urgent, "Give me... find me a slightly better dress, and I'll put it on."

The man among the refugees was Wang Shitong, known as the "Ghost King".

During the severe torture, he was carried and supported by people for a long time. After finally comforting the refugees, he got a chance to rest. At this time, he did not stop.In his instructions, everyone found a fairly complete house for him, and the refugee woman who was taking care of the wounds changed his clothes for him, wiped them, and sorted them out for a while.After taking off his clothes, the injury on that body made one's heart tremble, but at this moment, Wang Shitong's mood was intense and excited.

While sorting out, another person came in. This was Yan Hong, the deputy who was arrested along with Wang Shitong. He was seriously injured when he was arrested. Since he was not suitable for torture, Sun Qi and others gave him a little medicine.Later, the Huaxia Army entered a prison once, and gave him another medicine. On the day he was rescued, Yan Hong's condition was much better than Wang Shitong's.

"Going to meet the people of Black Flag?"

"Yeah, it's been agreed." Wang Shitong smiled, "I would like to die, I really can't think of it... I really can't think of it..."

His laughter was joyful, and then there was also a sad color.Yan Hong could understand the taste of it, and after a while, he said, "I went to see it, Zezhou has been completely settled."

"Ah."

"Those rumors, I heard that it may be true, the territory of Tiger King has completely changed."

"It's not surprising." Wang Shitong pursed his lips. "The Huaxia Army...the Huaxia Army made a move.

When Wang Shitong said this, he reached out and patted the chair, and his sad mood turned into laughter. Yan Hong may also have bitterness and despair in his heart. At this time, his eyes were red, and he laughed together.The woman next to her couldn't help but started to cry. As soon as the woman cried, the two men in the room laughed even louder, but tears also fell from her face.

The hard and sad things in the world are indescribable in words, especially after experiencing those darkness and despair, the complex mood is even more difficult to describe.

"I went to see them and asked them to help..."

"I will help, I will definitely help... Look, old words, I always said that God will not give us a dead end. There will always be a way, haha...hahahaha..."

The two men laughed happily in the room, and then infected the woman next to them.After a while, when Wang Shitong was led out of the room, the first ray of fish-mammed white was about to appear on the horizon.I don't know where the rooster was crowing. The refugees in the nearby streets and by the bonfire saw Wang Shitong and others passing by, and they all stood up to say hello to him, or there were people crying loudly, and Wang Shitong comforted him.

"It's alright, it's alright. As long as I live, there will be one day for me... and one day for you..."

Most of the people who came to Zezhou after the great defeat and massacre on the banks of the Yellow River had pinned all their hopes on Wang Shitong. Hearing him say this, they were all happy and settled down.

At this moment, the dawn is about to come down, especially in the moment after Wang Shitong and the person he saw knew each other, the feeling of the sun shining down reached its peak.After that...

fall down-

************
"...It was agreed that on June 29, in King Jin's territory, some personnel reserved by the Huaxia Army will be mobilized at the same time to cooperate with Tian Hu's internal department to overthrow the territory of nine states under Tian Hu's command. Theoretically speaking, this At that time, Weisheng had completely changed. Wang Ju went to Yunnan and took several cities such as Meng County and Xi County. Tian Hu's original power was replaced by Tian Shi, Yu Yulin, Lou Shuwan and others. The Jurchens might Send some nearby troops to put pressure on Tian... This may be the status quo you will face next..."

"That Huaxia Army..."

"Part of our manpower has been exposed in this incident. According to the agreement, we should withdraw to the south. Of course, I can also leave a part to help you."

"The Huaxia Army didn't go north?"

"In the three years of Xiaocanghe, the Huaxia Army has lost a lot of people. Two years is actually not enough to recover. If we want to go north, the three parties of Jurchen, Puppet Qi, and Nanwu are currently hostile to us... Come to the Central Plains , will only be another three years."

"Um……"

The cool breeze in the early morning was blowing, and the surrounding streets were filled with the jerky smell after the fireworks were extinguished.In front of the ruins, the injured person talked to the scholar in the light robe. After Ning Yi introduced the situation, he noticed the other party's emotions and smiled.

"When you were working in the north, some black flag people gathered around you. They admired your bravery and chivalry, and advised you to go south with them and join the Huaxia Army. At that time, General Wang, you said that when you saw life being ruined, how could you just stand by and throw it away? If they leave, even if they die, they must be brought to Jiangnan... I admire this idea very much, General Wang, do you still think so? If... I invite you to join the Huaxia Army again, would you like it? ?"

Wang Shitong was obviously thinking about other things. His eyes were complicated and he turned around for a while: "But...there are so many of them, Mr. Ning..."

"Ok?"

"Mr. Ning, I'm here to ask for food for them..."

Wang Shitong thought for a moment, and finally said this sentence, Ning Yi nodded: "I understand this, and it has already been arranged, one-third of Zezhou's grain reserves will be allocated to you, a total of nearly ten thousand stone. , it should be able to solve the urgent need. The vehicles that can be used in the city are already being allocated, and you may be responsible for some of your own."

"...Mr. Ning, where can they go next?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"I want to take them across the Yellow River." Wang Shitong looked at Ning Yi and said, "Go to Jiangnan."

Ning Yi opened his mouth slightly and was silent for a moment: "I... personally think it's unlikely."

The scene quieted down, and Wang Shitong opened his mouth, but he finally didn't speak for a while, until a long time later: "Mr. Ning, they are really... pitiful..."

His voice was floating in the wind, Ning Yi did not speak, Wang Shitong recalled those tragedies, and then said: "They used to have a family property and a foundation. Since they went south, they have nothing. This way, starved to death, Those who were killed, I don’t know how many people, I took them, I don’t know how to go, my wife and daughter died on this road, they said that we massacred the city... 10 people, wandering all the way Yes, the bark will be eaten up, they... have started to eat children, Mr. Ning, I don't know how to speak..."

"... They just want to live, as long as there is a way to live... But God doesn't give a way to survive, the plague of locusts, the severe drought... and the flood..." When he said this, his voice choked up, pressing his head, "I With them, I finally got to the Yellow River, and there were Tian Hu and Sun Qi. If it weren't for the Huaxia Army, they would have died, frozen to death and starved to death. Mr. Ning, I know you are good people, you are real Good people, in those few years, everyone else knelt down, and only you were really fighting against gold..."

Ning Yi patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Everyone is fighting for their lives."

"If they can't cross the Yellow River, they will all die. Mr. Ning, go and see what they are like. Ten thousand stone grain is a lot, but the people are not limited to those outside the city. Many people have died by the Yellow River, but at least there are still people left." Two to three million people survived, Mr. Ning, where else can they stay in the Yellow River?"

"Perhaps they can be arranged to be dispersed into the territory of various forces?"

"Begging can't survive the winter." Wang Shitong shook his head. "It's better in peacetime. In these years, Wang Juyun, Tian Hu, Li Xizhi, all of them are not well-off. If the beggars can't survive, they will all die here."

Ning Yi thought for a while: "However, crossing the Yellow River is not an option. That side is still Liu Yu's territory, especially... In order to guard against Nanwu, there are two Jurchen armies, 30 million people, crossing the Yellow River. It's also a dead end, have you thought about it?"

Wang Shitong nodded: "However, if you stay here, you will die."

"...At least you will take care of them." Ning Yi paused, looking at him, "This is... a very difficult thing, but there is no other way, if you let them go, no one can take care of them 30 people, I think... it is still possible to stand here. Whether it is farming or fishing, eating wild fruits and bark, they will definitely be safer staying here than crossing the Yellow River. If necessary, Black Flag will try to support you as much as possible."

"Support... what?"

"Knives and guns, even iron cannons, support you to stand firm, be armed, and try your best to survive. To the south, with the support of the prince, several generals headed by Yue Fei have already begun to go north, and only when they open up this road one day , you will be able to pass safely."

"However, Black Flag... can't help?"

"Black Flag can help." Ning Yi sighed, "But we can't go north in the near future, just to save people, everyone will die in the Central Plains, I can't make such a decision, but I promise, as long as it is possible, I will try my best to support your rooting and going south."

Wang Shitong was silent for a long time: "They will all die..."

"Ok?"

"Thousands of 10 people... are here. They have never been soldiers before. Mr. Ning, you don't know how they died in the battle on the bank of the Yellow River. All of them People will see them as thorns in the flesh, and they will all die here."

"General Wang, with all due respect, in such a world, there is no way to survive without fighting. Many people will die, and the rest will be tempered into warriors. The more people like this, the more we will defeat them one day. The bigger the female is, the bigger the problem can really be."

"But a lot of people will die, you... we watch them die." He wanted to refer to Ning Yi, but he finally changed it to "we", after a while, he said softly, "Mr. Ning, I have an idea. …”

"What do you think."

"Look at Zezhou City, the Tiger King's territory, you...you have arranged so many people, and when they started, the world turned upside down. When it was said that there were many people left by the Huaxia Army, everyone still believed it, but now they will not doubt it. Now, Mr. Ning, since there are so many people here, there are people on Liu Yu's territory. Can you... can you activate them? Mr. Ning, Liu Yu is much worse than Tian Hu and the others, as long as you activate them , the Central Plains will definitely change, can you, consider..."

Ning Yi's eyes gradually became serious, and Wang Shitong waved his hands.

"This is tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of lives. Mr. Ning, they are the hundreds of thousands of lives in front of you. Just raise your hand. They may cross the Yellow River, cross the Central Plains and go to Jiangnan, and they will be able to Survived. The merits of hundreds of thousands of lives, Mr. Ning, the Huaxia Army will have a greater reputation in the world if they do these things, and tens of thousands of people will surely come to vote. Even the killing of the king can be washed away. Lost……"

He said this, gritted his teeth, slowly got up and knelt down, Ning Yi held his hand, passed a moment, and then let him sit down.

"This is an option that can be considered." Ning Yi considered for a moment, "However, General Wang, Tian Hu's action is just to kill the chickens and warn the monkeys. Once the Central Plains is launched, the Jurchens will definitely come, and when the time comes, a new regime will be hidden. Those Huaxia soldiers who were in the army will also be purged on a larger scale. Jurchen is different from Liu Yu. Liu Yu killed the whole world. After all, he still needs someone to stand in court for him. A city slaughtered in the past..."

"However, this is indeed hundreds of thousands of lives. Mr. Ning, you said, there is nothing bigger than this, you have to save people first..."

"The biggest problem is that once Jurchen goes south, Nanwu's last respite will be gone. You see, if Liu Yu and the others are still there, they will always be a whetstone. They can sharpen Nanwu's knives. Once the Jurchens go south, it will be time to test their swords. At that time, I am afraid that these tens of thousands of people will not live for a few years..."

"But maybe the Jurchen won't send troops. As long as you make the range of the launch smaller, we only need one way..."

"Is there any compromise, I will also consider carefully, General Wang, please consider carefully, many times, we are helpless..."

The wind swept the morning mist, and the conversation between the two continued.On the other side of the city, You Hongzhuo walked down the street dragging his wounded body. He was carrying a knife behind his back, his face was pale, and he was swaying, but because of the special military emblem on his body, no one stopped him on the road.

Going to a small square, he sat down in the crowd, and there were tired snores nearby.

After a whole night of madness, You Hongzhuo leaned against the wall, his eyes dazed and ecstatic.Since he left the prison last night, he fought with a group of prisoners for a few times, and then armed with an obsession, he went to find the fourth brother Kuang Wenbo and avenge him.

However, the temple of the Great Light Sect was already leveled, and the army fought several times nearby, and then set a fire and burned it to white ground. I don’t know how many people from the Green Forest died in the fire.The flames spread to the surrounding streets and houses. You Hongzhuo couldn't find Kuang Wenbo, so he had to participate in the firefighting there.

At the end of the night, he wandered in the city and saw too many tragedies and desolation. At first, he didn't feel anything, but when he watched it, he suddenly felt sick.The houses that were burned down, the innocents killed in the streets, the civilians who died during the army's rush to kill, the children who were in a daze in a pool of blood because of the loss of their families...

"Hey, is that you?" A voice came from the side: "That kid in the prison who can't get in!"

Turning his head, You Hongzhuo carefully identified it, only to find that the big man next to him was the man who was locked in the opposite cell. This man once told him to do something to relieve the seriously injured inmate, but You Hongzhuo did not do so in the end, and there was an argument between the two sides. .

You Hongzhuo raised his guard, but the other party had no intention of starting a fight: "I saw you murdered last night. You are a good person. I have written off your holiday with you, how about that?"

You Hongzhuo didn't speak, it was acquiescence.The other party was also obviously tired, but his spirit was still a little bit, and he said, "Haha, it's fun, it's been a long time since I've been so fun. Brother, what's your name, my name is Chang Jun, we decided to go to the southwest to participate in the Black Flag, are you going?"

"Black Flag..." You Hongzhuo repeated, "Is Black Flag a good person?"

"Of course the black flag is a good person, why, you have an opinion on the black flag?"

You Hongzhuo looked at the sky and was silent for a long time: "I can't see..."

Yeah, he can't see it.At this moment, Kuang Wenbo's voice suddenly appeared in You Hongzhuo's heart, in such a world, who is a good person?Big Brother and the others talk about being chivalrous and righteous, but in fact they are making money for Wang Juyun. The Daguang sect has a good appearance, but it is actually filthy and shameless.Black flag?Is Black Flag a good guy?Obviously so many innocent people died.

How do those people count?
At this moment, he suddenly didn't want to go anywhere, he didn't want to be the person standing behind his back, there should always be a way for those innocents.A knight, the so-called knight, isn't that what you want?He thought of Mr. Zhao and his wife, who were black winds and two evil spirits. He had a stomach full of questions and wanted to ask that Mr. Zhao, but Mr. Zhao was gone.

——The Jianghu Road has to be walked by oneself.

************
It was another sunny morning. You Hongzhuo carried his two knives on his back and left Zezhou City, which was gradually restoring order.This journey is endless bumps and hardships, and the sky is full of thunder and lightning, but he clenched the knife in his hand and never gave up.

It was the evening of heavy rain, and it was muddy. Wang Shitong was driving a big cart and walking on the road. There were countless people in front and back, and the end could not be seen from a distance: "Hahahaha...hahahaha..."

Yan Hong saw that he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, but the laughter was shrill, and there was no joy: "General, what's wrong?"

"I understand, I understand..."

"what……"

"No one cares about us! No one ever cares about us!" Wang Shitong shouted, his eyes were already red, "Sun Qi, Tian Hu, Wang Juyun, Liu Yu, hahahaha... the demon Ning Yi, never People care about us people, you think he is kind, he is just taking advantage, he clearly has a way, he watches us die... He just wants us to kill, kill, kill, and kill the last remaining people here, He came to pick peaches! You thought he was here to save us, but he was just there to... kill chickens and set an example, he didn't come for us... Look at these people, he obviously has a way..."

Yan Hong looked at him, and Wang Shitong stood up in the car.

"This world is full of wicked people! So you are hungry ghosts!" Everyone around looked at him in astonishment, Wang Shitong shook his head in the rain, "But it's okay, as long as there is me... I will definitely watch you... As long as I have..."

As long as I have...

He repeated this sentence with the pain of countless tragic deaths in his heart.From now on, there are only real hungry ghosts left here...

Ning Yi and Xigua and his party left Zezhou and started heading south.During this process, he calculated several times the possibility of making Wang Shitong and others retreat south, but in the end he could not find a way. Wang Shitong's final mental state made him a little worried. , but he doesn't really mind doing something good if it's possible.

If there is a problem with Wang Shitong as the leader, then if possible, he will also hope that there is a second way to go.

At this time, due to the civil strife of King Jin's forces, the news that the black flag spies finally opened their minions again has spread to all parts of the world.

A couple with their children had just returned to Vaud from Zezhou.At this time, Mu Yi, who had settled in Wauzhou and had a family with his wife and children, was a small yamen catcher in the city of Wauzhou. Their family went to Zezhou this time to walk around and buy some things. The child, Mu Anping, was on the street. He was almost hit by a galloping horse, and a chivalrous man who was being chased saved the child's life.Mu Yi wanted to repay, but the opponent was very powerful. Soon after, the army of Zezhou also arrived, and finally the chivalrous person was taken into prison as a bandit.

Mu Yi walked around secretly, but it didn't matter after all, there was nothing he could do.During this period, he noticed that the atmosphere in Zezhou was not right, and finally took his wife and children to leave first. Soon after, large-scale turmoil occurred in Zezhou.

Along the way, his wife was complaining about him. She said, if something happened to that chivalrous man, I would not be at peace for the rest of my life.

Jin Guoyunzhongfu, a gentle and gentle man just arrived here, and met Lu Mingfang, a member of the Huaxia Army who was working here at this time. His name is Tang Minjie. He did something wrong when he was in the southwest. Later, he was transferred to the north. Lu Mingfang had a nod to him earlier, and knew that this person was also a student of Mr. Ning, and he was quite capable.

"I want to learn Jurchen for a while first, and then get into specific work. This should be better." Tang Minjie is a pragmatic person and has a very friendly personality. Lu Mingfang is relieved, and he has learned from Mr. Ning. There are many high-strength people, but many people are also high-spirited. Lu Mingfang is afraid that he will mess up when he comes.

It seems that he is a good person to get along with... A few days later, the mild-mannered Tang Minjie gave Lu Mingfang a great impression. At this time, the news of the Southern Black Flag's change came, and the two were excited again.

"You have to do something like this..." Tang Minjie sighed, and Lu Mingfang nodded in agreement.

At this time, Lu Mingfang still couldn't understand what kind of light flashed in the eyes of the young partner on the opposite side. So many sins and bloodshed...

In King Jin's territory, the night Tian Hu rushed out of Wasion and was captured, Lou Shuwan came to see him in the prison.

"...You ****! ****! You can cooperate with the enemy who killed your father! I curse you, this ****, you won't have peace in hell, I'm waiting for you-"

Lou Shuwan just looked at him quietly amid Tian Hu's scolding. Suddenly, Tian Hu seemed to realize something.

"No...you, you ****, you like him! You like Ning Yi! Haha! Hahahaha! In the past few years, everything you do is to learn from him! I understand - the **** is ****! You like him! You've been restless all your life, you don't have to go to hell... Hahahaha-"

He was still scolding while laughing, but Lou Shuwan had turned around and walked away.

"Cut his tongue," she said.

Tian Hu's tongue was cut off, but this move was of little significance, because soon after, Tian Hu was secretly executed and buried, and it was said to the outside world that he died suddenly of illness.The king who had been lucky enough to live in the dust of troubled times for more than ten years has finally come to an end.

Soon, Ning Yi and his party arrived at the bank of the Yellow River.At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the green hills on both sides of the river are shaded, and the water of the big river is rushing, stretching as far as the eye can see.At this time, 16 years have passed since Ning Yi came to this world, and nine long years have passed since Qin Yuyuan died and Ning Yi killed the king in a fit of anger in the Golden Palace.

In this autumn of the eighth year of Jianshuo, the deceased has passed away forever, and the survivors can only continue to move forward in their respective directions.

The green hills are still there, and the sunset is red several times.
