has become a demon

Tian Yunen and others were escorted to the open space in the camp.

At this time, the sun was already high, and it was a little stuffy. King Su was sitting on the chairman's seat, and a shade was set up behind him. He was bowing down and talking to the surrendering soldiers kneeling on the ground.

"Oh?" King Su looked up at him and asked, "But him?"

Those who surrendered were originally the personal guards of King Su's Mansion in Kaiping, now they all turned their heads to look at him, gritted their teeth and said: "This is Tian Yunen!"

Su Wang smiled, but the absurdity did not reach his eyes: "I know what you said, and I will deal with it fairly."

The soldiers bowed and were led down.

Tian Yunen was picked up from the generals who surrendered by the guards below, and brought to the front of the people, with his head on the ground, he struggled twice, and looked up at King Su.

"Tian Yunen, when the officers and soldiers below reported the massacre of Kaiping, you raped women and children, abused innocent people, and took the lead in committing crimes for pleasure... Do you have anything to say?" King Su asked him.

Tian Yunen had expected it in his heart, and shouted for injustice: "My lord! This subordinate is wronged!"

"Injustice?"

"This subordinate is Han Chuanjun's left officer, and everything is just obeying orders, my lord! The soldier Han Chuanjun is cold-blooded and cruel. After he designed to frame the old lord, he ordered me to wait for the massacre of the city and force the prince to fight back in the street. There is no such thing as a subordinate. Way." He argued, his voice was choked up, full of grievances, "The subordinates are incompetent, although they tried their best to restrain them, some people still couldn't resist the temptation of human greed and committed this appalling and heinous crime."

"Someone? Who?"

Tian Yunen turned back, stared at Duan Baozhai in the crowd, and said: "It's him! It's Duan Baozhai! His father took refuge in King Ning, and he was afraid of your revenge, so he thought of killing people with a knife. The tip of the knife was stained with blood, They couldn’t stop. One or two, ten or hundreds, and finally killed the whole city.”

"...So, in order to cover up the guilt, Kai Pingwei was burned with a guilty conscience, right?"

"Yes! That's right!" Tian Yunen grabbed the ground with his head, and said sadly, "My lord, please check clearly! This subordinate is wronged!"

He knocked on the gravel ground one after another, with all his strength, his forehead was broken, blood flowed out, and the stones were dyed red.

King Su watched him work so hard, and after a while, he suddenly laughed.

"Tian Yunen, in order to save your life... you can tell any kind of lie." King Su said, "But you forgot... When Han Chuanjun indulged you in slaughtering Pingcheng, Duan Baozhai was still in the capital."

Tian Yunen was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at King Su whose eyes were still cold, and panicked, he said: "Maybe I remember wrongly, maybe it's not Duan Baozhai, maybe it's Yang Ju!"

Yang Ju trembled all over, and rolled out among the many surrendered generals, arguing: "It's not me! It's not me! Tian Yunen, you spitting blood!"

"Not only you, but others!"

In a panic, Tian Yunen wanted to drag someone into the water again.

For a while, the generals among the prisoners of war argued one after another. Some people said that this thousand households killed 100 people, and that thousand households said that this hundred households had raped other people’s wives and concubines. Some people reported how much gold and silver they had robbed... There were so many ugliness and evil things revealed .

The former colleagues, in order to survive, had already torn off their masks and exposed each other.

King Su sat there, listening quietly.

In just a few words, they have vividly described the pain of this abandoned city... No, maybe it is not enough.I really think it will only be ten thousand times more cruel than the cruelty between these words.

Kaiping that day will be like hell on earth.

"The plan to destroy King Su was not decided in a day. For this big plan, Zhao Ji had already made arrangements. You and King Su's son Zhao Zhen are about the same age, and you are both guarding the land in the north, so you have some contacts soon... All these things were told to me in the son's letter." Zhao Yuan looked at Tian Yun'en and said, "Do you know how the son described you in the letter?"

As he slowly narrated, everyone gradually became quiet.

Tian Yunen shook his head in a daze.

Zhao Yuan smiled, raised his eyes to look at the scorched city wall, and said slowly: "Brother, brother met a warrior guarding the land, who share the same ambitions, very happy."

Tian Yunen froze all over and couldn't help trembling.

"Before visiting the mausoleum, in addition to the imperial decree, you also wrote to my elder brother, saying that the army arrived in Kaiping during the Double Ninth Festival..." Zhao Yuan said again.

On the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival.

Han Chuanjun took the imperial decree and led the team of the comfort army into Kaiping.

Su Wang's son Zhao Zhen and Tian Yun'en are friends, and there is an imperial decree blessing, who can be suspicious?

When Prince Su Zhao Hong was captured and beheaded outside the palace, he yelled "Zhen'er—" before he finished speaking, his head was cut off.

Then they rushed into the palace and killed everyone they saw. Nearly a thousand people in the prince's mansion were all killed.

Tian Yunen had been to Kaiping several times before, and was even more familiar with the Prince's Mansion, so he led the team to search for rare treasures in the Palace.

And because of his familiarity with the palace, Zhao Zhen in the palace had almost no chance to breathe, so he was escorted out of the palace and hid in Kaiping.

The [-] personal guards of King Su's Mansion dealt with Han's army during the weigh-in in Kaiping in an attempt to break through the blockade and send Zhao Zhen out of the city.

The two armies were at a stalemate.

Probably blood stained his eyes, greed blinded people's hearts, and he even had the intention to kill Zhao Zhen.

Under the connivance of Han Chuanjun, he began to massacre the city for seven consecutive days.

Zhao Zhen couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he brought his personal guards to fight to the death with the Han family army.But how can the devastated city withstand the well-prepared armored cavalry.

Finally Prince Su's army was defeated, and Han's army won.

All those who were still alive were beheaded for public display.

Then Kaipingwei was set on fire...

"At the foot of Tianshou Mountain, you caught up with the Yeling Rebellion and threw the heads of my father and brother into a pool of blood." Zhao Yuan asked Tian Yun'en after he had said this, "So far, what this king has said so far is there any mistakes or omissions?"

After he finished speaking, Tian Yunen trembled like sifting chaff, and finally there was fear in his voice: "Your Highness is clear! Your Highness is clear! I was wronged! It's not me!"

Amidst his sharp and mournful pleadings, King Su still said calmly: "You betrayed love, killed all the family members of the royal family, and ravaged the common people. It stands to reason that it is not too much for Ling Chi to tear apart. It's just... the tragic things in Kaiping City are too much. More...enough."

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!" Tian Yunen cried.

"Let's show the head of the owl to the public." Zhao Yuan said.

"No, no!" Tian Yunen lay limp on the ground, kowtowing non-stop. This time, his kowtow was more sincere, but no one cared.

A personal guard came out, grabbed his arms, and dragged him to an open place.

A high platform has been built there.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tian Yunen was dragged up and said something blankly. After a long while, he shouted and begged: "My lord, my lord is just at the time of employing someone! My lord! I'm still useful!"

Kan Yufeng yelled coldly: "Cut!"

The executioner drew out his long knife and slashed it down. Tian Yunen was so frightened that half of his neck was cut off, and the blood poured out, but he was still breathing, with half of his head drooping and screaming on the ground, blood splashed on the high platform , dyed the entire high platform red.

Such tragic scenes stunned the soldiers who were executing the execution.

Kan Yufeng scolded angrily: "What are you doing in a daze! Make up the knife!"

He drank sharply, and the executioner turned around, stepped forward and slashed again, and then stretched out his head, which rolled down from the high platform and fell into the captive generals.

Everyone was shocked.

There was a dead silence.

Xiao Jiang stepped forward and clasped her fists and said: "This time there were 33 captured generals. Tian Yun'en is dead now, and most of the rest also had blood on their hands during the massacre in Kaiping. This kind of behavior that tramples on military law and is inferior to animals, the general thinks that it should be severely punished." , as an example to others!"

"He Jun is right." Su Wang said, "Let's deal with it according to the "Da Duan Military Regulations."

"Yes!"

The captive generals were in a mess, begging for forgiveness.

But it was useless, Kan Yufeng had already listed everyone's crimes one by one, and the crimes were clear and irrefutable.After Xiao Jiang picked up the indictment and read one, a soldier dragged her out and beheaded her.

One by one.

Blood flows into a river.

Dyeing this dead and silent ruin...

Even the air was filled with a strong stench.

After an unknown amount of time, the number of prisoners kneeling on the ground became rarer, and this bloody day finally came to an end.

"My lord, anyone who participated in the massacre of the city has already been sentenced to beheaded." Xiao Jiang came to report.

Zhao Yuan got up slowly: "Let's leave it at that, you have worked hard."

"My lord."

"Huh?" Zhao Yuan looked at him, "What else is He Jun doing?"

Xiao Jiang stepped aside a bit, allowing Zhao Yuan to see clearly Duan Baozhai who was still tied and kneeling on the pasture.

"Duan Baozhai, the right parameter under Han Chuanjun, has never participated in the Kaiping massacre, and has the merit of leading the army to surrender. Please also ask the prince...to deal with it."

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he said, "I... think about it again."

After saying this, he turned and left.

When he walked out of the pasture, he was still a little staggering, but when the large tent of the Chinese army came into view, his steps became hasty.

He quickly entered the tent, and then into the back tent, Xie Taichu was lying on the bed, the clothes on his body had been changed and washed, although his face was bloodless, it was peaceful.

The hanging heart relaxed a little.

The military doctor was packing up the medicine box, when he saw him coming in, he got up and bowed, "Your Highness is back?"

King Su asked him, "How is the Taoist priest?"

The military doctor glanced at Xie Taichu, and said: "It's some common internal injuries, the Taoist priest's own luck has stabilized a lot. Wait for the villain to prescribe a prescription for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. After taking it for a few days, you will be able to heal slowly." It's better to slow down."

Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

The military doctor bowed down and wrote the prescriptions on the case table, and showed Zhao Yuan that they were indeed medicinal materials for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

"From today onwards, three times a day, our military medical office will deliver the medicine, and please ask Your Highness to instruct Daoist Ningshan to take it on time."

"Okay, don't worry, I will tell him to take it."

The military doctor nodded, then put it away and said: "The illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread. Although it is not a serious internal injury, it may take a while for it to fully recover. If there is a recurrence, the prince does not need to panic. Be careful and rest well. Don't leave the root of the disease."

"I understand, old doctor don't worry." Zhao Yuan said again.

The military doctor nodded in relief, picked up the medical box and retreated.

After everyone left, the curtain was lowered, Xie Taichu raised his hand, Zhao Yuan took his hand and sat on the side of the couch.

"I said it was just an internal injury, but His Highness didn't believe it." Xie Taichu sighed.

"It's not that I don't believe it, I'm always worried about you." Zhao Yuan smiled.

Xie Taichu looked at him for a while, then suddenly hugged him close to him, kissed his lips until Zhao Yuan was out of breath, and then pulled away.

"So, can you rest assured, Your Highness?" He asked.

A red cloud rose on Zhao Yuan's cheeks, and he huddled in his arms, not daring to look at him: "...Don't worry about it."

Before he finished speaking, the world was spinning, Xie Taichu had already pressed him down on the couch, just as he opened his mouth in surprise, Daoist Ningshan seized the opportunity to kiss him.

This kiss was hasty at first, with some teasing meaning, it should be tasted and stopped.

But Zhao Yuan's body is strong and slender, and just hugging each other makes people's hearts flutter.

Such a kiss changed its meaning in the confusion.

It became a silent whisper.

It became a lingering lingering neck.

They embraced each other tightly, wishing they could embed each other into their bodies, flesh and blood, and become one from then on, regardless of each other.

After an unknown amount of time, the two separated panting.

Su Wang's hair was messed up in such a charming scene, and his eyes were moist and misty, showing a bit of stunning charm.

I just don't know how many times I can watch it and how long I can watch it.

Xie Taichu sat beside him, looked at him greedily for a while, then brushed his hair and wiped the corners of his mouth until he came back to his senses.

"I heard His Highness punishing crimes in the tent." He said.

"But I'm too cruel?" Zhao Yuan asked him, "Did torture be used?"

"No." Xie Taichu shook his head, "Slaughtering one's own family is a felony, and Ling Chi's car is not an exaggeration. However, His Highness just beheaded to show the public. It is already extremely merciful, and there is no need to question yourself."

"Thirty-two people beheaded, only one did not make a decision."

"Duan Baozhai?"

"Yes." Zhao Yuan replied, "Although he has never slaughtered the city, his father's family has turned against him, leading the upright ministers of the court and killing dozens of people. It is shameful for him to do so. But he... I, I I don't know how to punish him."

"Duan Baozhai abandoned his sword and surrendered... Your Highness, why don't you listen to what he has to say?"

After Xie Taichu said this, Zhao Yuan was a little touched, and just about to reply, he listened to the report from Xiao Jiang: "Your Highness, Duan Baozhai has been kneeling in the pasture all day, if His Highness has no decision, I will send him back to prison prison."

"He knelt all day?"

"Exactly."

Zhao Yuan was quiet for a moment, got up and said to Xie Taichu: "You are right. I will come when I go."

Duan Baozhai was still kneeling on the pasture.

The familiar and unfamiliar people around him were all pulled out to beheaded, and the number of people gradually decreased, and the blood flowed away, and he also knelt in the blood.

He thought he was going to have the same end.

But King Su left.

No one escorted him to leave, so he could only continue to wait.

It was getting dark, mosquitoes and flies were flying in the grass, and after a long time, he heard footsteps, and the personal guards escorted King Su with torches.

Someone stopped in front of him, and he looked up, it was King Su.

In the past, Zhao Yuan was gentle and soft. Sitting in a wheelchair, he could only look up at him.Now everything seems to be upside down, he knelt on the ground and looked up at Zhao Yuan.

He is a brother, but he is no longer a brother.

Not an enemy, but an enemy.

...It's strange, but after half a year, they seem to have changed.

Become strange, become alienated.

Zhao Yuan asked: "Your father's family turned against each other and implicated dozens of Qingliu's lives in order to survive... You joined Han Chuan's army again, and you were appointed to join the army. Is this the case, but do you have anything to argue?"

"My lord is right. The criminal's father, Duan Zhi, was originally the teacher of the former prince. He originally advocated cutting the feudal clan. After Zhao Ji conspired to usurp the throne, in order to save his life, he bowed to the traitor and confessed dozens of upright people. They all died by the Jinshui River. Even Tang Haolan died. As the legitimate son of the Duan family, under the protection of his father, he got the position of the right general of the Han Chuan Army. He betrayed the royal family orthodoxy, and even betrayed his sworn brothers. Please, my lord, resign."

After Duan Baozhai finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily, then got up and knelt down on the ground, looking at his former brother, for some reason, he just felt that everything had been let go.

"Do you want to die?" Zhao Yuan asked him.

"I don't want to die, but if the prince wants me to die, I can appease my hatred. I am willing to die to wash away my sins."

After he finished speaking, the tears couldn't hold back anymore.

Zhao Yuan didn't look at him, but looked up at the moon.

In the night, memories of the past came one after another.

In the past, the young people could feel happy after drinking a pot of wine, and Boya Ziqi could feel happy after reciting a poem... The immature friendship seemed ridiculous and vulnerable before such a big change.

The dreamlike mind, shattered to ashes.

The bloody reality shines on this avenue of life... forcing everyone to go in their own directions, cruel and indifferent.

But fortunately, people still have a choice.

Some people choose never to look back, Ruo Ruo Shen Zhu.

Some people choose to fly moths to the flame, such as Ruo Tang Haolan.

Some people choose to give everything and start over.

Zhao Yuan looked up at the moon and said, "I don't hate you. It has nothing to do with you."

Duan Baozhai was stunned, tears welled up, he choked with tears, and said weakly and expectantly: "If the prince is willing to trust my minister again... I am willing to trust my minister's heart. I am willing to live to repay all this."

"You are the right officer of the Han Chuan Army, and your father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. How can I believe it?"

"My lord, give me a dagger." Duan Baozhai said.

Zhao Yuan said to Xiao Jiang: "He Jun, give him the knife."

Xiao Jiang pulled out the dagger from her waist, cut off the ropes that bound Duan Baozhai's arms, and threw the dagger in front of Duan Baozhai's eyes after his hands bled slightly.

Duan Baozhai moved his wrist, picked up the dagger, and looked at Zhao Yuan.

"I am willing to destroy my eyes to prove my heart."

He raised the dagger and stabbed at his left eye without any hesitation. The left eye was suddenly black with severe pain, blood and semi-solidified transparent liquid fell down the eye socket, and the eye was shriveled and could no longer be opened.

After Duan Baozhai finished all this, he felt the oppression in his heart was gone, he threw down the dagger, kowtowed and said: "The parents who have been affected by the body, hair and skin, now I have ruined my eyes and judged righteousness. From now on, I will have no father or mother, only the prince will follow!"

Zhao Yuan looked at him, turned around and left after a while, and said to Xiao Jiang when he left, "Find him a doctor to heal his wounds!"

Duan Baozhai kowtowed again: "Thank you, my lord!"

Zhao Yuan walked halfway, suddenly felt sore eyes, he looked up to the sky.

The moon and stars emerge.

It fell into his eyes, turned into tears, and spilled down the skirt of his clothes.
