Three days later, Lingxi Town returned to its former tranquility. Some soldiers left behind by Pei Temple searched for the drowned Chu family members around Lingxi Town, as well as the missing persons who escaped. The rest of the Jinyang Army escorted Thousands of captured Chu family members went to the capital to await trial. Among the prisoners was Lao Cheng, the former commander of Jinyang City.
Pei Yuanying stepped on the ruins of the Chu family's original site, followed by several expert guards. He accidentally bent over and rummaged through something, and found a piece of gold, silver and jade porcelain buried under the broken bricks and tiles. He was very happy After wiping it, he put it under the sun and carefully looked at the lines on it. Finally, he wrapped it carefully and put it in his arms. He looked up and saw a man and a little girl standing in front of him. , I saw the man holding the little girl's arm tightly, step by step from the front door to the backyard.
"Xiao Lanxin, the head of the Chu family passed away here, and he never took a step back until the end. He still held the spear tightly in his hand when he died in battle." Li Tang said indifferently.
The former Chu family no longer exists, and the bodies of casualties have been cleaned up. However, there is a stench of blood from the beginning to the end, especially when walking to the Xibing Pool, the smell of fresh blood is even stronger. The red color of the pool has not faded. If the previous red color was due to the rust stained by the iron box containing the Xuanguang armor, then at this moment, the red color of Xibingchi comes entirely from the blood of the Chu family.
Looking at the broken environment around him, Li Tang calmly told Xiao Lanxin about what had happened here. Xiao Lanxin was no longer as naughty and cute as before. With a desolate expression, she seemed to have heard what Li Tang was saying to her, and she was tugging on Li Tang's sleeve, but she seemed to have heard nothing, her eyes were dull, without charm.
After Chu Tianwen left that day, Chu Dingbian ordered to retreat to the Xibing Pool in the backyard. Li Tang originally wanted to take Xiao Lanxin to follow, but Pei Yuanying led several personal guards to snatch Xiao Lanxin. Tang wanted to rescue him, but was threatened to back off, so he had to follow the Jinyang army and march towards the backyard of the Chu family. Zhao Ding saw him being arrested.
Xiaolan's heart was protected by Li Tang from the beginning to the end, but at the end of the day, he failed to protect her well. Afterwards, the commander of Jinyang, Pei Sisheng, took a cold look at this young man named Li Tang, and then looked at her again. Looking at Xiao Lanxin who was captured, she didn't say much, and let her son Pei Yuanying handle it. Pei Yuanying knew that Xiao Lanxin could not be killed. Maybe let him become his enemy, so he returned Xiaolan's heart to him when cleaning the battlefield.
For three days in a row, Pei Yuanying settled the two of them in her house to eat, drink and entertain them, but both of them dismissed it, and Pei Yuanying ignored him. The wet water in the campsite immediately sent someone to follow the water to inspect it, but after walking a short distance, the water disappeared without a trace. Pei Yuanying knew that someone from the Chu family had escaped, but there was nothing he could do. , The main characters are basically captured by themselves, and the remaining few rotten fish and shrimps are left to them.
Early this morning, Pei Yuanying was handling official business at her residence as usual. It was Li Tang who took the initiative to come to Pei Yuanying and said that he wanted to visit the ruins of the Chu family. Pei Yuanying was overjoyed and quickly sent someone to arrange the matter. Being able to ask myself to do something at this time proves that I haven't hated him to the marrow in his heart, and I haven't hated him to the point of being irreconcilable. However, this matter was actually brought up by Xiao Lanxin on his own initiative, and Li Tang was entangled in his heart. After a long time, I finally talked to Pei Yuanying.
At this moment, Pei Yuanying heard Li Tang talking about Chu Dingbian's last situation, so she couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "General Chu is indeed an outstanding man. My father sighed for him one after another that day. If you serve your life, you will definitely become a famous general of the generation, but unfortunately, he took the wrong path."
"You don't deserve to mention Uncle Chu!" After hearing Pei Yuanying's evaluation of Chu Dingbian, Xiaolan's hair immediately stood on end. She pointed at Pei Yuanying with her little finger and roared angrily, as if venting out the countless sorrows that had been suppressed in her chest before. She was trembling all over, I couldn't say a second sentence for a while.
Pei Yuanying was really frightened by this roar, he didn't expect such a deafening sound to erupt from such a small cavity, but he quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile: "The little girl is ignorant, obviously I rescued you!" Instead, blame me, your Uncle Chu violated the king's law and deserves to be punished, even if I don't have Pei Yuanying to carry out the execution, Zheng Yuanying and Li Yuanying will do it for me in the future, and your Chu family will go through this disaster sooner or later."
Li Tang sneered and said, "Without you, the Chu family might last for many more years, many, many years."
"Brother, why don't I know this??And with my in-depth understanding, I found that this matter is not simple. At first, my Xinglin Shuhui recruited staff, the purpose of which was to help me in the future, but later found that it was useless, so it was used to block you Lu, I don't want you to get involved, but they can't even stop you, a bunch of trash, it's really pissing me off. "
"Brother Liu Tong is also dead?" Li Tang asked in shock. He didn't expect that this incident would involve so many problems. It seemed that he had been caught in a conspiracy from beginning to end. The money kind.
"Don't think that it was my father who killed it. It was Lao Cheng who was the previous commander. Lao Cheng has already been escorted to Beijing by my father. If there is no accident, he should be murdered all over the house. In fact, there would be no such thing without Lao Cheng." Such a tragedy happened to the Chu family. Your father was still in court back then, and Uncle Li was a reasonable person. If Chu Dingbian was more courageous, maybe the Chu family is now in the court. But no, everything is fine. too late."
Pei Yuanying sighed to herself, looking at the blood-red Xibingchi, she didn't know whether it was sadness or joy, what she said to Li Tang just now was all she knew, as for whether he believed it or not, it was beyond her own consideration It's here, everything in the fighting process of that day seems to be still lingering in front of my eyes. On that day, the Xuanguang armor of the Chu family faced the fish-scale armor of the Jinyang army. The Xuanguang armor won. There were more than 3,000 dead in the Jinyang Army. Although the Northwest was famous for its elite cavalry, they faced off with infantry after dismounting. The Xuanguang Armor still won.
On that day, Chu Dingbian's feat of shooting one shot by one person really shocked Pei Yuanying, but before her father said what to do with Chu Dingbian's body, Jing Boyang, who had just been promoted to a centurion in the school captain's camp, took advantage of the crowd Inadvertently, he cut off his head with a knife, and successfully obtained the much-criticized command of the fourth rank, and entered Beijing with the rewarded troops.
Whether it is right or wrong, the matter has already been done, and the once glorious Chu family in Lingxi Town West was turned into ashes overnight. In this case, Pei Yuanying naturally has no regrets for making mistakes in his heart, and he is waiting for the court. will, wanting to know what will happen to me.
At this moment, a eunuch from the palace suddenly came over to issue an order, and everyone knelt down to accept the order, and then heard the eunuch sing: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Father and son of the Pei family investigate the matter of the Chu family in Lingxi Township, Cangzhou, With meritorious service to the court, I hereby issue an edict that Pei Sisheng, the former commander of Jinyang, was promoted to be the second-rank minister of the household department, and received the title of Zishan doctor. Li Tang, the son of Li Tang, made great assistance in defeating the enemy. Because of the death of the guilty minister Li Zongye, he hereby issued an edict to exempt him from the punishment of exile and restore his freedom from now on. this."
"Minister Pei Yuanying accepted the order, thank Your Majesty Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
After Pei Yuanying got up to accept the imperial decree, she looked at Li Tang with joy and said, "Brother Li, you are free now, I don't know what your plan is, can you follow me to the capital city to see, and be a little girl by my side?" Military division?"
"Hehe, congratulations to the second brother for being awarded the Qian'an Palace. I would like to thank the second brother for his kindness here. I don't think it will be possible. The bloody storm in the Qian'an Palace is not something that I, Li Tang, can plan. An embroidered censor has tormented me. As an adult, those old foxes in the court, if you have the opportunity to ask them for advice in the future, I haven¡¯t been out of Lingxi Town since I grew up, I want to go to the rivers and lakes to see if the mountains and rivers are really beautiful.¡±
At this moment, Li Tang had an indescribable feeling welling up in his heart. Maybe it was the emotions that had been suppressed for too long, or maybe the shackles that had been restrained for too long, were all broken at this moment. He felt something growing in his body, suddenly Suddenly, he let out a loud shout, and a flash of golden light emanated from his body. Nine golden lotus flowers in his body bloomed one after another. After a while, it dimmed in an instant, and then stepped into the sky and other spiritual realms.
