Chapter 65 Yin Changqin (3)

The snow in Tianshan always comes later than in other places.

A long team was rushing through the heavy snow, and people stepped deeply into the snow puddles. They were not shoe prints, but bloody footprints.

Because they were not worthy of wearing shoes, they were sinners. Even their hands were tied together with wooden shackles, and they wore prison uniforms with disheveled hair. The soldiers responsible for escorting always kept their whips in the air, waiting to find the next prey.

"Ahem! Ahem..." Another sinner fell.

The horse's hoof stepped over him without hesitation, because the soldier knew that he would never stand up, so he had no intention of pulling him up.

The long queue was still moving forward, and no one pitied the dead. Even the slightest sympathy for their fates never appeared on these prisoners. Because the living were no luckier than the dead.

They will all be sent to the Shiling Mine at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains to mine spiritual stones. They will work sleeplessly and spend a lifetime of hard work to atone for their sins.

Among the group of exiled criminals, only one person was not bound by wooden shackles, but was only bound by shackles.

Yin Changqin, the third son of the Yi Kingdom, was twenty-five years old at the time. Although he was the youngest and most energetic, his face was haggard and lifeless, his steps were staggering, but he was a little less energetic than the people next to him.

This is because the injuries caused by the Yunling Battle have never recovered from his body. It is also because he witnessed the massacre of the whole city and the annihilation of the entire army. The shadow of failure completely destroyed this young man.

Finally, the team came to a small town named "Jianyue".

The elegant name of the town cannot conceal the dusty atmosphere in the town. The people walking on the road are either miners or merchants buying spiritual stones. Now there are criminals in gray prison clothes and officers and soldiers.

People living here have no hope, but those who still have hope for life come and leave in a hurry.

It's a lifeless town that revolves entirely around the mines.

But, today is different.

Because a beautiful woman appeared here.

She is not tall, has a slender figure, fair skin, and piercing lion eyes. Her face is majestic and dignified, and her behavior is even more fragrant. She wears plain clothes with floral patterns and walks with a sword on her back.

The residents of the town had only seen village girls and village women. This was the first time they saw people dressed as immortals come to the town. They all thought they were fairies descending to earth.

Pedestrians put down the poles carrying stones, glared at the women and stroked their beards, the young men took off their hats and put on turbans, the tillers forgot about plowing, and the tillers forgot about hoeing.

Several wealthy businessmen with bright eyes stepped forward to talk to the woman, but the woman ignored them and walked straight to the team of deported prisoners.

At first, several officers thought that the fairy must have come to see them, and they joked with each other.

But when the woman approached, she was actually close to the prisoners. The officer quickly got up and ordered the soldiers to stop the woman.

"Escort the felons and keep them away!" the soldier shouted.

But the woman didn't stop. She turned over her hand and pulled out her sword. The silver light was like snow, pointing directly at the defender's eyebrows!

"Get out of the way!" the woman shouted.

Everyone onlookers were shocked, and the soldiers quickly drew their weapons and surrounded the woman.

The woman was not afraid, the sword blade made a clanging sound, and the sword wind was about to explode.

At this time, an officer stepped out from the crowd, stared at the woman carefully for several times, suddenly his face changed drastically, and shouted: "Stop! Stop everyone!"

"What's wrong?" the officer commanding the siege asked dissatisfied.

"She is Qi Da Situ's daughter! Stop it now!"

"What!" The besieging officer's breath was stagnant, and then he shouted to the left and right: "What are you doing standing still? You have let go of the guys in your hands! Miss Qi, I'm offended! I'm offended..."

"Get out of the way." Qi Heer repeated.

"Yes! Yes!" The officer tilted his head to the left and right again: "They're all gone!"

The soldiers dispersed, but the passers-by who were watching were even more curious. Why did such an official lady appear in their small town?

Until Qi Heer walked up to a man.

The man's eyes gradually became clear from confusion, then to disbelief and tears.

Qi Heer raised her neck towards the man and turned her back to everyone, so no one could see her expression.

Then, Qi Heer raised his sword again.

The soldiers panicked again, but without waiting to stop him, Qi Heer shouted loudly, held the hilt of the sword upside down with both hands, and stabbed with the sword, cutting the shackles under the man's feet into two pieces!

"This..." Several officers looked at each other in confusion, but did not step forward after all.

The man in dirty prison clothes was even more surprised. Then, Qi Heer stretched out his hands upwards, wrapped them around the back of the tall man's head, and then pressed down, making the man's face completely lean on her shoulders.

As a result, the surrounding townspeople were shocked. The beautiful fairy and the destitute prisoner, two impossible combinations, hugged each other in a twisted way. The only sound left in the room was the man's low voice.

Sob.

Qi He'er hugged her tighter, her eyes filled with tears as well. In her eyes, the man in her arms would never be a prisoner, but the third young master of the Yi Kingdom, Yin Changqin.

"I will always be with you." Qi Heer said softly.

The man cried longer because of this.

When he was in Tianshui City, he never had an arm he could rely on.

In November of the 18th year of Zhenping, Yin Changqin knew that Yunling City was difficult to defend and planned to lead his people to the south.

Yin Changsheng, the eldest son and later general of the State of Yi, sent a letter, urging Yin Changqin to take pity on the people's suffering of migration and to fortify the city. He promised to defend the city for ten days and he would send troops to support it. At that time, the inside and outside should cooperate and the barbarians could be driven back.

Yin Changqin stayed on guard for fifteen days, but did not wait for his half-brother.

He could not bear to see his brothers die, and he could not bear to see the whole city massacred. He fled for dozens of miles with this secret letter in mind, intending to accuse Yin Changsheng in court for ruining the military situation.

But what he didn't know was that after he escaped, Yin Changsheng quickly attacked Yunling. The barbarians suffered huge losses when attacking the city, were not good at defending the city, and had already looted all, so they abandoned the city and left. Yin Changsheng won a great victory

The name.

The two of them won one and lost, and the court turned overwhelmingly to Yin Changsheng's party.

Yin Changqin fled exhausted to the foot of Tianshui City. What awaited him was his old army who betrayed him. The secret letter was destroyed.

Even though he spoke loudly in the court, everyone accused him of talking nonsense and evading responsibility.

The outcome was that the Young Master's army was "poorly commanded and the battle was unfavorable." In the end, he was unable to seek justice for his brothers who died in the battle, and was only "exiled for three hundred miles."

So he was so desperate that he lost his heart and walked the three hundred miles in a daze.

It was not until the moment he arrived at Jianyue Town that he finally cried.

The cries were hoarse and unpleasant to hear, echoing over the dilapidated town, but no one interrupted.

It was the last snowfall at the turn of winter and spring in the 19th year of Zhenping. No one in the country believed the truth. He cried to only one person.

In February, what Qi He'er did in Jianyue Town was reported back to Tianshui. She not only refused to let Yin Changqin engage in mining work, but also built a mansion for Yin Changqin in the town and served him day and night.

Qi Situ's family immediately declared to sever family ties with Qi He'er. As we all know, when Yin Changqin succeeded, Qi Situ recommended him repeatedly. When news of his defeat came, Qi Situ's family was the first to join Yin Changsheng's sect.

However, no subsequent punitive measures were reported about this incident, and the local officers in Jianyue Town have always turned a blind eye to Yin Changqin's actions. Some people may still remember that Yin Changqin was once Yin Tianqi's favorite son.

In March of the 19th year of Zhenping, Yin Changqin suffered from cold poison caused by the war, and his legs were paralyzed.
