After asking the two horse thieves to write down the location of the treasure, He Ran saw that the words written by them were the same, so he summoned Bayan'er and several generals to find out that this location was in the southeast, more than a thousand miles away.
Here, he did not dare to be careless and sent 3,000 troops to retrieve the treasure.
At this time, we were not far from Geqiong City. We marched for a while and set up camp fifty miles away from Geqiong City. Dajiang Hongkonger personally led hundreds of officials to reward the army and said that Xinyan Tuliang had withdrawn his troops.
The king will return to the army soon.
He Ran declined his invitation to enter the city and insisted on waiting for King Fan to come back before entering Geqiong together. He asked him to build eighty-two fine coffins to bury the children of Zangxian Valley who died in the battle, and to prepare mules and horses to transport the coffins back to the State of Yi.
Hongkong'er paid homage to the fallen soldiers and had everything ready within two days of his return. During the funeral ceremony, he had to dig out the hearts of the horse thieves and pay homage to them. He then dispatched a team of 500 Xiangguo troops to escort the convoy back to the country.
The disciples of Zangxian Valley sent him nearly a hundred miles away.
He Ran had nothing to do and went to see A Jiang Liman being tortured. He used this method to relieve the pain of his dead brother. It was difficult for him to adapt to the absence of Xi Qun. He habitually called out Xi Qun several times when he called people.
Every time he called Qun's name by mistake, he would torture A Jiang Liman.
In just a few days, Ajiang Liman lost his human form, his lower lip was bitten by himself, the fierce and violent air on his face disappeared, his eyes were full of hatred, and his left hand had been cut off bit by bit and was
He was forced to eat it. When he saw He Ran coming in, he made a roaring sound. Not only was his tongue cut off, but there was also a piece of cloth in his mouth. The sound was like a low roar in the throat of a beast, and his eyes were spitting fire.
, if looks could kill, He Ran would have been cut into pieces.
Seeing his ferocious look, He Ran felt happy in his heart. He took a small burning stick from the charcoal basin, blew out the fire, and poked A Jiang Liman's soles with a smile.
The pain caused A Jiangli's facial muscles to twist. He gritted his teeth and remained silent, staring at the smiling devil in front of him with his red eyes.
"Okay, you have the guts!" He Ran raised his thumb and changed a wooden stick. This time he did not blow out the fire, but burned it an inch away from the burned spot. He looked at the flames and said:
"Let me tell you news. I have sent someone to get your treasure. Haha, twenty thousand gold. Thank you very much. It is said that you have two sons in this secret lair. It is enough to eradicate them. They will not suffer like you.
of."
After listening to Wan Jin's translation, Ah Jiangli closed his eyes in pain.
He Ran's face slowly turned cold and he said: "This is just the beginning. There are still more than seventy days left. Don't be a coward. I really want to see what you think when you see those treasures and the heads of your two sons.
"He said, handing the stick of wood to an executioner's soldier, "Bake it for a while, the burned area is the most uncomfortable when it is roasted by fire. Brothers haven't gone far yet, let them listen to the howl of the enemy.
Yelled." He stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face again, ready to continue enjoying the pleasure of revenge.
The tent curtain suddenly lifted, and Xiao Xiao walked in. She glanced at the blood-stained tent and raised her hands to cover her mouth and nose. The smell here was really disgusting.
"Why are you here?" He Ran asked with a smile.
Xiao Xiao frowned and motioned him out with his eyes, and then walked out first.
As soon as he left the tent, Xiao Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't come to see these again."
"What's wrong?" There was a hint of pride in He Ran's smile, and she guessed that Xiaoling must have mentioned the situation here to her.
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, and turned over to "Walking on the Wind". He Ran saw Yan Zhihong also beside him, and got on the horse after him.
"Go for a walk." Xiao Xiao rode away without waiting for his answer.
This kind of horse-walking activity was greatly desired, and Yan Zhihong was urged to catch up.
After leaving the camp, Xiao Xiao reined up his horse in a remote place and said with concern: "I once heard Yin'er mention that you slaughtered the assassin's body, and you were the one who killed Xiao He."
He Ran's eyes flashed with coldness, "Yes, I finally had the dead body chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs."
Xiao Xiao sighed: "Yin'er said that she was really scared when she saw your expression at that time, and felt that she didn't even recognize you."
He Ran suppressed the light of hatred in his eyes, restored his usual expression, and said with a smile: "Am I that scary? At that time, everyone would have a vicious expression, isn't it surprising?"
Xiao Xiao looked at him and shook his head gently, "Not everyone can do this kind of thing, but you do it again and again, and your expression is not vicious, but you are very happy and enjoying it.
Xiaoling told me that a horse thief had a piece of his belly cut off and his intestines were completely exposed. He kept screaming, but you looked on happily and poked at him with a wooden stick as if nothing had happened.
She explains the various organs."
He Ran blinked and said: "There are many people who are crueler than me. These horse thieves have to be skinned alive to satisfy their hatred!"
Xiao Xiao sighed again and said: "Sister Xiyao is very worried about you. The last time you set fire to the enemy in Zangxian Valley, she was frightened when she thought about it. She always suspected that you were really the reincarnation of the evil star. She was hiding in her heart.
You have demonic roots, and your desire to kill is too strong, and everyone is afraid that you will develop a cruel nature."
He Ran curled his lips in disapproval and said: "A woman's heart can only tolerate adultery and repay evil with kindness. How can we repay kindness? Let alone killing that beast Xiao He, he would have died long ago. Which of those horse thieves has never had good hands on his hands?"
The blood of good shepherds? How many innocent women have been ruined? How can God show justice if such people are not severely punished? I don’t think what I did was wrong.”
Xiao Xiao looked at him silently.
"I know that I am too murderous. You are also a leader. I believe you can understand me about the killings on the battlefield."
Xiao Xiao nodded and said: "There is nothing to say when you are fighting to the death. Talking about benevolence, justice and morality on the battlefield is just a bastard."
"Killing Jiu Jiu has given me a reputation of being narrow-minded. I don't want to say more. He is hypocritical and harms the country. If I don't kill him to establish his power, I can't deter the pedantic ministers. At that time, Yi's country was in danger, so extraordinary measures had to be taken."
"I also know this. You had no choice but to do it. I also wrongly blamed you at that time."
"As for using heavy laws to govern the people, those who steal the hook will also be punished... Haha." He Ran smiled disdainfully, "You know, I am lazy by nature, why am I willing to meddle in such nosy matters? The reason why I interfere in political affairs is all because
The need for war is not so much to strengthen the country as to save lives. I know that many people who died under my criminal law are not worthy of death in the eyes of most people, but I just want to kill them because I have seen it with my own eyes.
It’s like these people’s legacy will spread over thousands of years!”
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then she understood that he was referring to the "previous life" before coming here. Looking at the way he was gnashing his teeth, she really couldn't imagine what the "previous life" was like that made him so resentful.
