Chapter 1516 821 Death Offenses (Three Shifts)
More than half an hour later, a complete corpse lay in the rectangular earth pit, fully presented in front of their eyes. The cyan dress on the corpse had already faded, and it looked dirty and gray.
The flesh and blood on the corpse had already rotted away, so naturally the appearance and age of the corpse could not be seen. The pair of dark eye sockets on the skull seemed to silently stare at everyone.
Si Lin frowned slightly, took a step closer, and stared at the jade bracelet on the corpse. He also recognized this bracelet... But is this really the corpse of Mrs. Guan?
As if hearing the doubts in his heart, Guan Yubai suddenly said, "Yes."
This is the mother!
No one else knew, but he and his father knew that mother's right arm was a few inches longer than her left. That was when my mother was a child. My uncle naughty took my mother to climb a tree. Later, my mother accidentally fell off the tree and broke her left arm. Because she was young, she was quickly taken care of, but her left arm has been smaller than her right arm since then. Slightly shorter.
This is still when he was naughty when he was five or six years old, he just started to practice martial arts, and he went to the house to reveal the tiles. His mother was afraid that he would lose his sense of proportion, so he specially told him to let him take precautions...
The past flashed quickly in Guan Yubai's mind, and his heart was slightly heaving...
Guan Yubai took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pinched the fingertips of both hands into his palms. When he opened his eyes again, he had regained his calm, and he was the calm and indifferent Guan Yubai again.
He slowly took out a moon white handkerchief from his sleeve, and gently wiped the soil and blood from his fingertips...
The rising sun rose slowly in the eastern sky, and sprinkled softly on the hills, forming a crimson blood color...
Guan Yu looked at the east from afar, and said silently in his heart:
Father, I finally found my mother!
Their family will be reunited soon!
But people can't be resurrected from the dead, and time can never go back to the past...
Guan Yubai retracted his gaze, his eyes were half-closed, and he ordered, "Find a coffin for me, and I will transport my mother's bones back to the West Night Capital first."
With the resounding response, Xie Yifeng and Fengxing quickly led the way...
The rising sun continued to rise eastwards, dispelling the fog that covered the mountains, but it could not dispel the desolation, desolation and loneliness of the mountains.
An hour later, Feng Xing and Xiao Si carried a heavy black lacquer coffin down to the mass grave, placed it on a trolley, and the chariots and horses left the mass grave without any regrets.
The sun drags a long shadow behind them...
On this road, only the sound of wheels and hooves echoed on the official road...
Two days later, the group returned to Xiye Capital City. The coffin was temporarily placed in a side hall in the northwest corner of the palace by Guan Yubai, and the others were also sent to rest by him...
Xie Yifeng suppressed the agitation in his heart and resigned obediently. After a night's rest, the next morning, he couldn't wait to visit Guan Yubai again.
Guan Yubai was not processing official documents, he was sitting leisurely by the window feeding the eagle.
Outside the window, a white eagle stopped on a branch, staring at the jerky in the master's hand. As soon as the jerky was thrown out, it immediately took off, took it in its mouth, and then fell back to its original position. swallowed.
Xie Yifeng watched from the side and said with an apologetic smile: "Major General, you have raised this eagle really well."
Xiao Si glanced at him coldly, and threw out a piece of jerky, with that expression as if he was talking, and it's up to you!
The atmosphere in the imperial study was slightly cold.
Xie Yifeng's face was embarrassed for a moment. He came to see if Guan Yubai's attitude towards him would be close, and he wanted to personally say that he had made a great contribution this time, but he didn't want Guan Yubai to seem to be sticking with him. , with a bit of indifference...
It shouldn't be like this! Xie Yifeng secretly said, feeling a little frustrated in his heart.
At this moment, a gust of breeze blew from outside the window, Guan Yubai coughed twice, and his face seemed to turn pale again.
Xie Yifeng hurriedly said with concern: "Major General, you have been exhausted from your journey these few days, so you should take a good rest. Now that the western night is calming down, and you will be in Japan in the future, even for the spirit of the General and his wife in the sky, the Major General should take care of himself. ."
Hearing this, Guan Yubai took his eyes back from Han Yu and looked at Xie Yifeng, Xie Yifeng thought about it, and hurriedly said: "Speaking of this time, the lady can finally return to her homeland, and it is also the general who blesses the young master in the spirit of heaven. General!" He said, his eyes were a little wet again, and he looked like a loyal old servant.
Guan Yubai slightly hooked his lips, smiled lightly, and said, "Yeah, thanks to you this time..."
Xie Yifeng was excited, and was about to say a few words of modesty, but he heard Guan Yubai continue: "...After nine years, I still remember where my mother was buried." However, his eyes were as cold as an arrow.
Xie Yifeng snorted, vaguely feeling that Guan Yubai's tone and demeanor were not quite right.
"Speaking of which, the people of Xiye are really good-natured, and no one is interested in making money for the jade bracelet of Mrs. Guan..." Si Rin added sarcastically, Xie Yifeng really regarded them as fools, that jade bracelet Although there are flaws, but with its jade quality, it can still be worth a few silvers when taken to a pawnshop...
"Xie Yifeng, you have worked so hard all these years!" Guan Yubai seemed to sigh.
Xie Yifeng felt as if he had poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and his heart went cold: Oops, I was careless! but……
Xiao Si's icy gaze was also directed at Xie Yifeng. If his gaze could kill someone, Xie Yifeng would have already splattered blood on the spot.
"few……"
Xie Yifeng only said one word, but was interrupted by the official language: "Nine years ago, in order to win the trust of the late King Xiye, you did not hesitate to use my mother to make contributions." If it wasn't because Xie Yifeng was his father's subordinate, how could his mother Count! "Nine years later, in order to win my trust, he did not hesitate to kill the eldest prince of Xiye... Lieutenant General Xie, it has been nine years, but you haven't changed at all!"
His tone was still unhurried, but the content of his words was enough to make Xie Yifeng feel cold.
how can that be possible? ! How could Guan Yubai know? ! Xie Yifeng stared at Guan Yubai in disbelief, his whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all, his mind went blank in shock, and he could hardly think!
After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at Guan Yubai in shock.
When did Guan Yubai know about it? !
Could it be because he killed Prince Xiye? !
Or earlier? !
Since Guan Yu Bai knows everything, why have he waited so patiently until now? ...Is it for Madam's corpse?
Xie Yifeng felt a storm in his heart, how could he not understand how Guan Yubai knew it!
His mouth moved, and he struggled to the death: "Young... Major General, did you make a mistake about the last general..."
Halfway through his words, he could no longer speak. Guan Yu looked at him lightly, like a refined scholar, but he couldn't help but remind Xie Yifeng of the past...
No one wants to deceive the major generals of their official army!
When I was in the official army, no one or anything could deceive the Major General's eyes. Any conspiracy and tricks were just tricks in front of the Major General's eyes.
Isn't that the case with Gao Miho? !
Outside the window, the loud cry of a white eagle suddenly sounded, and it flapped its wings and flew from the branch to the window sill.
To Xie Yifeng, that eagle cry was like a thunderstorm on the ground. His whole body seemed to be sucked away by some force, and he fell down softly, slumped to the ground like a puddle of mud. .
My heart has sunk to the bottom!
This time, he must have no way out!
In the official language, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and the sins are unforgivable for their own crimes!
Thinking about it, Xie Yifeng's desperate eyes gradually became dazed and cloudy, and many pictures of the past flashed in his mind.
Back then, it was clear that Guan Yubai had learned from the various reactions of the court that the emperor was afraid of the official family army. He suggested several times to Guan Ruyan that at least one way out for the official family army should be left, but Guan Ruyan rejected them all... On that day, the imperial envoy came to the Western Xinjiang with the imperial edict. The imperial edict angrily rebuked Guan Ruyan and the official army for various crimes, and ordered to escort Guan Ruyan and Guan Yubai to the capital to discuss their crimes.
With the prestige of the official family in the Western Xinjiang that day, every word from the official Ruyan will inevitably be answered, whether it is the independence of the Western Xinjiang or simply mobilizing the army to the east to scare the stupid emperor, it is all easy. Zhang Kuangyin Zhuyu, the general who was "on the side of the Qing emperor" and then "in yellow robes", was in front...
However, Guan Ruyan's elm head believed that the emperor would give justice to the official family, and even without any resistance, he allowed the imperial envoy to confiscate the military power and capture him without any resistance.
Guan Yubai, as a son of man, naturally could not leave his father behind. He settled down with Mrs. Guan in advance before the imperial decree arrived, and he became a prisoner along with Guan Ruyan...
That day was a nightmare for the official army!
At that time, there were still some generals of the official family who held a glimmer of hope for the emperor, but Xie Yifeng clearly knew that there was no way for the official father and son to survive. He had to plan for himself!
There is such an emperor in Dayu, and any capable generals will never be able to come forward. Even if the Zhennan Palace in the southern border looks at the scenery, I am afraid that the emperor's butcher knife will be on the head of their Xiao family next time... After careful consideration, Xie Yifeng decided to take refuge in Xiye.
The deceased late king of Xiye, Gao Xizhi, by his own strength, integrated the twelve tribes of Xiye, with such a boldness and such a means, that he is comparable to the former emperor, and should have the capacity to tolerate others, unlike Emperor Dayu's narrow-mindedness!
However, when he first arrived in Xiye, the statement was not obvious. Gao Xizhi refused to use him. He had been an idler in Xiye for several months. In order to make merit and win the trust of Gao Xizhi, he thought of Mrs. Guan.
He deliberately went to Emerald City to find Mrs. Guan and coaxed her that they had rescued Guan Yubai from the prison and wanted to take her to reconcile with Guan Yubai, but he actually took Mrs. Guan to Xiye and offered her to Gao Xizhi. Gao Xizhi ordered him to kill Mrs. Guan with his own hands, and he did it. Since then, he has been widely used by Gao Xizhi and became a major general under his command, in charge of the 30,000-strong army of Xiye.
He thought that apart from the two West Night Kings, no one would know about it, but he didn't expect that nine years later, the truth would be revealed!
It is no wonder that Guan Yubai took in his old official family, but he has never reused him. It turned out that he was waiting for this moment...
Guan Yubai, he really can bear it!
Xie Yifeng smiled bitterly, his face staggered, as if he was about to fall down at any moment.
Yes, Guan Yubai patiently dormant for nine years, Zhennan Wangfu not only was not eradicated by the emperor as he expected, but also won Xiye with the help of Guan Yubai...
After all, he is not official!
Therefore, he has fallen to this stage, and Guan Yubai has risen again. This time Guan Yubai is free from the shackles of Guan Ruyan. How high can he go this time...
Xie Yifeng closed his eyes and dared not think about it any longer. He reluctantly calmed down, looked up at Guan Yubai, his voice almost squeezed out of his throat: "I don't know what the major general plans to do with the late general? ... The late general has been in the Xiye Army for many years and knows some secrets of Xiye. ."
As long as Guan Yubai is willing to let him live, he can confess everything he knows!
Guan Yubai's expression did not change at all, and he said calmly, "Xiye has returned to the Southern Border, no matter what secrets it once had, it doesn't matter!"
After a pause, Guan Yubai's tone became sharp: "Lieutenant General Xie, you are a traitor to the official army, betrayed your trust, murdered the old master, and slaughtered a lot of Dayu people over the years, this marquis will deal with it by military law today. You! Come on!"
Immediately after he finished speaking, two tall men with sharp eyes and simple green robes walked in lightly. None of them wore the armor of the Southern Border Army.
When their eyes fell on Xie Yifeng, they were all crimson, and their eyes were uncontrollably wide. Among them were disdain, hatred, and humiliation... They all threw their heads and shed blood to protect their families and the country. Good man, but such a despicable villain!
The two of them clamped Xie Yifeng's arms one by one, and Xie Yifeng shouted in horror: "Major General, the second prince is still at large in Xiye, don't you want to know... um..."
Xie Yifeng didn't have a chance to finish his words, he was forcefully gagged with a rag, and was rudely dragged out of the imperial study, across the ground full of yellow sand...
Xie Yifeng's mouth was still screaming "uuuuu", but no one was interested in listening to what he was saying.
At this moment, Xie Yifeng's heart seemed to have broken a few holes, and gusts of cold wind pierced through it, making his heart cool.
Only then did he know that the real despair was like this. You obviously still have chips in hand, but others are no longer interested in listening...
Why? !
Could it be that Guan Yubai is not afraid that the second prince of Xiye will go into exile and win over the power of several tribes in the western and northern borders, forming a country of its own and confronting the capital in pairs?
Doesn't Guan Yubai want to calm down the entire Xiye with the fastest speed?
...
Xie Yifeng's eyes almost stared out, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Maybe Guan Yubai really doesn't want it, maybe the more chaotic the night is, the better for Guan Yubai, otherwise, once the night settles down and the cunning rabbits die, should the prince of Zhennan take action against Guan Yubai? what? !
I was wrong!
Xie Yifeng twisted his body and roared again, trying to tell them that he had other values, he knew...
However, what he greeted was only the cold and disgusting eyes of the two old officials of the official family, and the long knife waving high, the blade of which shone with a dazzling cold light in the sun.
There was a flash of silver light, and the light of the knife fell like lightning, and it was like a broken bamboo!
Xie Yifeng's eyes became bigger and bigger, the fear in his heart became stronger and stronger, and his heartbeat almost stopped!
Death was only a matter of blink of an eye. The bright red and hot blood slashed Xie Yifeng's neck with the long knife, splashing everywhere, and the blood splashed on the faces, robes, and hands of the two old officials... Looking startling.
However, there was no cruelty in the expressions of the two men.
Only piety and solemnity.
The matter of the official army should be settled by the people of the official army!
The two of them couldn't help but look in the direction of the imperial study, and sighed faintly...
The sighs go away with the wind...
At this moment, there was already one more person in the imperial study. Si Lin, who was wearing a black robe, replaced Han Yu and casually leaned on the window sill.
Guan Yubai stared at the kettle on the stove beside him, hot white water vapor came out of the kettle spout, he picked up the kettle swiftly, and the hot water poured down from the kettle spout and fell into the bottom of the kettle. In the tea cup, the brown-red tea leaves float up and down in the hot water...
Si Rin rudely picked up one of the teacups, and without the saucer or lid, he blew on the teacup casually and drank the tea.
"Good tea." Si Rin smiled and praised.
At this time, Guan Yubai also made the second cup of tea and picked up the tea cup unhurriedly, every movement was indescribably elegant.
However, this kind of elegance is indescribably depressing to Si Lin.
He suddenly smiled and invited: "Xiaobai, Jiangnan's spring is infinitely good, you should take a break, you should go to the warm Jiangnan to raise..."
The deceased has passed away, the great revenge has been avenged, and staying in Xiye is nothing more than touching the scene!
