Although Chang Chengke was not seen, everyone here believed in Feng Luo.
The mystery of the fire in Prince Wu's Mansion was finally solved.
King Wu Chang Chengke did not collude with the border troops or anyone. It was just that Feng Luo was afraid that he would take the opportunity to cause trouble, so he had Chang Chengke intercepted and killed.
But a bigger mystery emerged.
There were only 500 people. Even if there were more, they would not be much more. It was incredible that they could easily take Chang Chengke away.
It seems that every time a mystery is solved, a new one appears.
Chu Qing said in a deep voice: "Commander, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Let me tell you first, why do you conclude that all this is related to Lao Chan?"
"Premonition, it can only be said to be a premonition. This kind of premonition was given to me by you. The last time we met, Qizhen Pavilion, Wenqu Building, and Wangji Mipu, these three places you deliberately took me to, although there were no
Ask, but you also know what I want to know. Although you didn’t admit it, you didn’t deny it either, as if... you deliberately made me doubt you."
"Yes, you kid is not as smart as the Tao girl. If the Tao girl were in charge of Qianqi Camp, I wouldn't have to waste so many words with you."
Chu Qing laughed sarcastically.
Belittle me as you like, it doesn't matter, you are praising my wife anyway.
"corpse."
Tao Ruolin suddenly said: "My brother is proficient in the art of killing. He did an autopsy on the body. The border soldiers committed suicide because they wanted to fill their stomachs. They were not forced to do so."
Feng Luo fell silent, lowering his head, with tears glistening in his eyes.
After a long while, Feng Luo let out a breath: "Originally, we wanted to take the body of Liang Thieves, but the weather is freezing and the Liang Thieves are all deep in the grassland. Those idiots can only do this."
Chu Qing asked: "The border army sent the body to the capital just to let the world know that a war is really going to start, right?"
"Yes, you are smart, but you are fooled by your cleverness. It is unnecessary."
Chu Qing stood up and saluted Feng Luo.
"Commander, please tell Chu Qing why you want to provoke a war between the two countries, why you want to send the border troops to the battlefield, and why you want to sacrifice my good man Dachang!"
Feng Luo shed tears, and the old tears were flowing freely, but he smiled again, that weird, ugly, but somewhat kind smile.
"The border troops are going to die."
Chu Qing's expression changed drastically: "What do you mean!"
Feng Luo tremblingly opened the box next to the desk beside him, took out many letters from it, and slowly opened them. Tears fell on them, and the handwriting was already blurred. Come to think of it, the British public has read many of these letters.
I cried every time, not just once.
"It's funny, Gong'er, he has only been able to dance and play sticks since he was a child. His handwriting is not good, so I'll read it to you. Our Feng family is all in the army. We also speak straightforwardly. Let's read it to you, old man.
Read it to you."
Feng Luo opened the letter and closed his eyes again. His chest was heaving. After a long time, he still couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.
The commander-in-chief of the frontier army, now the British Duke, was like a helpless child, crying and speaking.
"Dad, I can't stand it any longer. The cruel court has not sent any winter clothes this year. Ten...nineteen people have just entered winter, and nineteen of them have frozen to death. Xu Wu, an old man, wants to open the city gate.
Let those caravans enter the grassland, saying that they will pay 4,000 guan a month, and let the children be whipped. You said that merchants who go to the grassland to sell ironware and salt are complicit in the enemy. The thieves eat the salt, and they have strength.
Iron tools will cut our bodies with knives in the future. Don’t worry, let’s talk about other things, iron tools and salt. I will definitely not let these items out of the customs..."
"Dad, I really can't stand it this time. The children are unfilial. The caravan belongs to the Wu family, and their family has a dog who oversees the food. It's eight days late. The children are unfilial. I took the money and let them leave.
I used this money to exchange for a lot of good horses and winter clothes. Wait a few years. In a few years, the border situation will be better. The court will pay attention to our border troops again. I will go to Beijing again. If you whip me again, use Teng.
Whipping…”
"Your Majesty, Commander, I know that you are in a difficult situation in the capital now, but I have to beg you. I beg you to talk to the court and be accommodating. I only need one medical officer. I will definitely treat him as my own."
He serves me like a father. The mosquitoes in summer are very poisonous this year. Many children often fall ill. When the doctor looks at him, he can’t even see the farts..."
"Master, you are now the Duke of the country. You are still so afraid that you carry a knife and go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for money and food. If you don't pay food and salary, your brothers will all scold you..."
"Master, my father told me that there is peace in Beijing and you are enjoying the blessings. The Emperor seems to have taken away your power, just because he wants you to enjoy peace and happiness and cannot bear the pain of you at the border again. I know that if you are not in Beijing,
I will definitely try my best to come back. My grandson misses you. By the way, I heard from the caravan guys that the men in the wine shops in Beijing earn hundreds of coins a month. Is Changjing really that good? Those who can conquer and fight well.
Uncles and uncles, there are at most dozens of yuan a month, why is it that a clerk has a higher salary than our frontier army..."
"Master, my grandson feels uncomfortable. Dad said that he wants to send his grandson to the capital to become a general in the Ministry of War. It costs several thousand dollars a month. He said that his grandson can also get a good name. It is best to be a civil servant. That's bullshit.
If you don't do it, your salary will be in vain. My grandson can't figure out why the civil servants are given so much salary because they don't have to kill thieves. In short, my grandson doesn't want to go to the capital, but he just misses you..."
"Commander, let's fight. If we don't fight, it won't work. The men below can't stand it any longer. They want to die on the battlefield. Let's fight. The wretched court will not default on pensions only during war. Let's fight."
Fight, please, fight, many brothers have received the letters, and my wife, children, and mother will not be able to survive..."
"Commander, the new recruits have escaped. This year alone, more than 90 people have escaped, and more than 50 have been captured. They refuse to come back until they die. They are crying and want to die. There is no one to take care of their parents at home. The court said
The official land given to me is damn useless..."
"Dad, we can't do it without fighting. The souls of our frontier troops are gone. We are short of food and clothing. Li Cheng, a genius like this, led his bodyguards to sneak attack on the Rongshu Department. Half of his head was missing and he died sixty years ago."
Many people brought back seven horses, three lame horses, and stinky dried meat. The dried meat was boiled into soup, but it still smelled bad. The dried meat was as big as a palm and boiled for six pots of soup. These idiots robbed
While drinking, the soldiers all became upset..."
"Dad, the child is unfilial. Jiang Xuan, Liu Hanzi, Chen Xing... After eating, they went on the road. There was no drawing of lots. Everyone rushed to die. When they died, they became cool thieves. Let the people in the capital see that cool thieves.
The call is about to come. Only those who are alive can have a good life..."
"Dad, my child... is unfilial, my child, I have to go to the account of the Golden Wolf King. You said that my child is a blessed child. If my child is lucky and has great fortune, if he kills the Golden Wolf King Khan and has military merit, the court will give him a reward.
Tonight, the child is gone. You are waiting for my good news. If the child dies on the grassland, don’t be sad. The second and third sons will be filial to you. If the child dies, this blessing will not dissipate. Give it to other brothers, give it to you.
Everyone, for all the brothers in the border army, the boy was a general after all. He died in the battle on the grassland. Those bastards in Beijing will not hold him back anymore..."
"Commander, Brother Gong's body has been snatched back. It's your son. Six people were killed, six rangers were beheaded. The arms were sewn back by the brothers. His face is fine, but one eye is missing.
Not ugly, you will know when you see it. Not only is it not ugly, but it is also majestic. General, this is what you should be like, with many eyes, what kind of frontier general..."
"Commander, the young lady is making a fuss. She won't let the Huizhou side help the border troops anymore. She says she doesn't know when it will be over, and there are brothers who are missing arms and legs. They don't want to hurt everyone because they feel they can't kill anyone.
It was also a drag. They all ran away. They ran out of the city and went to the grassland. They walked there with bare hands and just wanted to get some pension. The general couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out why the court treated us like this when we killed enemies for our country. We were soldiers.
Wu, the army that protects the family and the country, this miserable world, the miserable Zhongzhou, the miserable court, the heavenly court, don’t you know that we are protecting them..."
"You always say that it is difficult for the court. We know that it is difficult for the court. There is no money and food, but brothers really can't stand it anymore. Fight, fight, commander. Brothers, I beg you, fight. The frontier army is seventy
Among the six generals, only one dog named Xiao Yi did not agree and ran away. His superior officer did not trick him and lied to him that he wanted to rebel. Don't worry. I sent a letter to my brother in the Ministry of War. I can't intercept him on the way.
Live, go to the capital and take his life..."
"Commander, let's fight. If we don't fight, we won't survive..."
"Commander, let's fight. If we don't fight, we won't be able to hold our heads high..."
"Commander, let's fight. We can't do it without fighting. We can only fight. We are not afraid of starving or freezing. We are just afraid of losing our dignity and being called Qiu Ba and fighting men for the rest of our lives. Let's fight. I beg you. Let the people
Let's see, the frontier army will win thousands of victories and the prosperous dynasty cannot be separated from the frontier army. Fight, please, fight!"
Every word is like a knife, every word is like blood, there are many letters, one after another.
Feng Luo was already in tears. He couldn't read anymore and burst into tears. Finally, he took out the last letter. Only half of this letter was written by him.
Using all his strength, Feng Luogao shouted out.
"I want to fight, I want to fight at the border. Even if I run back secretly, I still want to fight and die. I will die at the border, under the knife of a cold thief. Beat, beat, kill, kill, kill!"
