The rolling river has a kind of blood color and scarlet, mixed with a smell of corpse. In a twinkling of an eye, the people on the bank and the fishermen living on the bank are attracted. Qin Yuwen and Leng Changxi just look at each other, silently back to one side, watching the response of the villagers.
Along with the Red River, soon, a decaying body drifted down from the upper reaches. Among the floating bodies, not only the soldiers in armor, but also many innocent civilians did not know what they had done, some of them were cut off, some of them were directly different, and all kinds of incomplete bodies and discrete limbs seemed to be diffuse Floating aimlessly in the water, it's frightening to watch.
The villagers immediately began to talk about it. Some people on the periphery had already hurriedly dispersed and were ready to find someone to see it carefully.
Zhang lame walked at the front: "grandma, what's the situation? The water is like this, I'm afraid there won't be any fish for three or four months."
The old village head glanced at Zhang lame and said with a squint: "you only care about your fish, but don't think about what's wrong with the upper reaches. If it's true that the upper reaches are the barracks of the third prince's highness, as the general Leng said, then it's necessary for me to gather the village heads of the surrounding villages and the third prince's highness to talk."
"Is it useful?" Leng Changxi mercilessly poured a bucket of cold water. "If he was really afraid, how could he throw the body into the water so blatantly, and there were so many innocent people's bodies in it."
The old village head frowned, speechless, and the voices around him poured in like a flood of water. The so-called people's words were awesome, and this matter could not stand any delay.
Just when the old village head was worried but hard to make up his mind, a villager running from the entrance of the village in thatched shoes rolled several times in succession and ran directly to the village head from the hillside.
"Village head, it's not good. People from outside the village came to recruit soldiers, saying that all the young men between the ages of 16 and 40 in the village must join the army."
Must? Here and there are conscripts, who are obviously forced to obey.
Qin yunuan and Leng Changxi look at each other. Qin yunuan takes the initiative to ask, "where is it sent for conscription?"
The little man shook his head and spat heavily at the thick sputum. Then he said, "who else can there be? The barracks on the other side of Xixia won't believe the common people of Daqi. They won't come to the border of Daqi for conscription. Isn't there only the barracks on the other side of the third prince? "
The reporter didn't know the identity of Qin Yuwen and Leng Changxi, and said without any scruples. The old village chief just nodded and asked, "how long is the time limit?"
"In three days," said the young man Just then, he sighed with a deep heart: "uncle, I think the third prince's coming is very fierce this time. I'm afraid it's hard to escape. I heard that there was a village in the first few villages that was unwilling to hand over the young men because of their stubborn resistance. The whole village was slaughtered, and the bodies were directly dismembered and thrown into the head of Suihe river. There was not even a grave head. The upstream ones had silk business with our village That one. "
As he spoke, the young man looked at the river. When he saw the Red River and the body, he suddenly felt sick and wanted to vent something inexplicably.
Therefore, the bodies of these civilians are the fate of those who do not want to join the army.
It's almost a shock, and people can't help but feel a little scared. Sima Rui can do anything now.
Leng Changxi and Qin yunuan looked at the reaction of the people and said nothing to the village head: "today, I and Jiannei are here just to explore the terrain. After all, the soldiers in Xixia are not good at water. We just want to find the narrowest place in Suihe, help us cross Suihe, fight against Sima Rui, the villain of the emperor's house arrest. Now they are offended "Accident," said Leng Changxi, looking at the body of the river with a sad look, "as for the next thing, Leng can only express regret. There is something else in the barracks. Leng left first."
Leng Changxi leads Qin yunuan to leave silently. On the way, he can't help comforting an old woman who just learned that her only grandson is going to be enlisted. The old village head looks at Leng Changxi and Qin yunuan's every move, and can't help but feel something.
Out of the fishing village, Leng Wu has prepared a carriage and a incense burner to warm his hands. Leng Wu looks at the movement in the distance from afar and asks: "black eagles have managed to blow up the dead pit in simarui's barracks. Why don't the general take the opportunity to encourage the fishermen to revolt and submit to us? What else should we do? If these are false conscription orders The fishermen took it seriously. Three days later, they went to simarui's barracks to report. Didn't we fall short? "
Leng Changxi got on the carriage without saying a word, with only a little smile on his lips. He reached out his hand and connected Qin yunuan to the carriage. When Lengwu got on the handlebar seat and started to drive, Leng Changxi delivered the censer to Qin yunuan, and said slowly: "if I persuade them now, I will only get a group of people with fear and awe The fisherman of the heart, if they are allowed to think slowly for three days, plus the plan after that, what I get is a group of transport fleets willing to work for me and know right from wrong. These two concepts are totally different. "
The so-called soldiers want to take advantage of their things must first take advantage of their weapons. At the same time, it's very important to recover people's hearts. Leng Changxi now knows how to be measured.At the same time, simarui built a camp near the river.
Several soldiers came in succession to report that the blast gap in the dead man's pit was too large to be closed for a while, even though many corpses would flow out with the current.
Another person came to report that he had captured a soldier from Xixia who had come to attack secretly, but he refused to say anything, and he had killed himself by biting his tongue.
"Get out of the way. It's useless." Every time Sima Rui loses his temper, he will kick at people's heart. This move has already made many people afraid. "If you die, give me what you say to catch alive. Useless waste is useless waste. Please check it. This time, Leng Changxi is acting strangely. What do you want to do when you come here and blow up the human pit? Besides, the corpses will surely be killed by those flat heads when they flow downstream The surnames saw that the last conscription had been going on for a while. If the fishermen don't know what to do with it again, I'm afraid that I can't stay around the Suihe river. "
Sima Rui said, suddenly, in a tone that seemed to say to himself, "so this is the purpose of Leng Changxi?"
Just before other people had any reaction, Sima Rui had already pulled the collar of a communication soldier beside him and forced him to ask, "when will yuhaitang arrive?"
"The end will also..."
"Didn't he say he left Kyoto half a month ago? Why hasn't it arrived yet? " Sima Rui beat his fist on the record and made a muffled sound.
Just at this time, a sudden sound came from outside, with the shrieks of some small animals, like the cries of apes.
Sima Rui was surprised. Suddenly, a black monkey with two white hairs on his cheeks and a black and white tail leaped into the room. The monkey was still a monkey cub, curled up to the size of a man's fist and a half, but his posture was extremely agile. People could recognize him at a glance. This was a young lion monkey.
Sima Rui was stunned to see the monkey climbing back and forth in his study. He knew the little monkey. He was the pet of yuhaitang. Nobody dared to bully the little monkey at will. Because yuhaitang was very old, it was inconvenient for him to do many things. He was the big red man in front of yuhaitang.
But the good news shows that yuhaitang has arrived.
Sure enough, there was a report from the outside, saying that Yu Haitang had arrived at the camp gate, but he didn't come in after watching the open camp gate. He just sat in a wheelchair and didn't move, and he was not allowed to lead the camp with his followers. I don't know what it means.
What's the meaning of this? Sima Rui's eyebrows are horizontal. He can't come in until he goes out to meet him?
It has to be admitted that yuhaitang has a very good set of governance and self-cultivation skills, and is also a famous person. Unlike Qiu Murong, Xu Ji or baili'ai before, simarui is their boss, they are subordinates or Qianlima recognized by Sima Huiyan. For yuhaitang, simarui is just a chess piece.
However, Sima Rui and yuhaitang cooperate. Sima Rui is fighting with yuhaitang for wisdom and courage to prevent himself from being used. Instead, he wants to use yuhaitang.
In Leng Changxi's view, this kind of cooperation is bound to be short-lived. When Sima Rui came to the front of the camp gate and saw the moment when yuhaitang's face condensed, it proved that Leng Changxi's words were reasonable.
"Sooner or later, I'll get out of the old widower's hands." Sima Rui swore a poison oath in front of the camp gate, but then he took out a very respectful look and bowed to Yu Haitang.
Yuhaitang has a look of crane's head and chicken's skin, but compared with the Baili sadness that also appears with the old man's bent image, he appears more of a fairyland's floating, and suddenly a wave of Lingyue's air appears between his eyebrows and eyes. Although his feet can't walk, a self-made wheelchair can come and go freely. Yuhaitang raises his still bright eyes and greets the little monkey Carve ran to come over, an an divides ground to nest in his arm bend.
In addition to Sima Rui and baili'ai, who came to meet Yu Haitang, he had just changed the plaster for Xu Ji, who was already paralyzed, and hurried over.
"Mr. Yu." Aware of yuhaitang's eyes fell on himself, Baili mourned very humbly to salute yuhaitang.
Yu Haitang just glanced at him and said coldly: "it's a good way to use the knowledge of pharmacology to slow down the spread of toxins accumulated in his body, but a person less than 30 years old is like an old man in my nineties. Are you willing to do that?"
