538. Dressing as a Woman: Her Identity (8)
"The Fifth Army..." The young man's voice darkened, "The Fifth Army is commanded by Xin Zhiyang, the head of the Xin family. I heard that there was originally an imperial edict to hand over the general power to Lin Thief, but because the head of the family stationed troops
The place was far away from the capital, and the people sent by Qing Jin to convey the imperial edict were missed, so it was saved... However, when the head of the family rushed to the capital, the city was already about to be destroyed; instead, Hu soldiers rested for many days and mobilized the army with all their strength.
During the siege of the city, the family leader was unable to support his troops alone. He fought bloody battles with the enemy outside the capital for three days, but finally failed to keep the capital safe. All five thousand soldiers and horses were martyred..."
"Ah," Qing Lan was fascinated by what he heard and couldn't help but exclaimed, "The capital has been breached just like this?"
"Exactly." The young man nodded, "After the Hu soldiers broke through the city, the late emperor and his queen committed suicide and martyred their country, and countless concubines threw themselves into wells and got married. I heard that at that time, the capital city was filled with blood and the people were slaughtered by the Hu soldiers; the jewelry inscriptions
I am a civilian girl, Gong'e, and I have been loaded into more than a thousand carts and transported to Hu Di! This humiliation of overthrowing the country will hurt all the people of Zhao Dynasty to their bones!"
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, there are also shameless people who do not care about the restoration of the country. They only care about taking the little emperor hostage and settling in a corner, and establishing the new capital as the capital. They don't care that most of the country falls into the hands of the enemy.
For such a person, God can allow him to live freely in this world for sixteen years. He is truly blind!"
Qing Lan laughed dryly and stepped away from Xin Fenghan. This man looked too dangerous now. When he talked about the hatred between the country and the family, his whole body seemed to be equipped with a powder keg that could explode at any time.[
The young man paused, then put on his signature sneer, but still couldn't hide his anger. "Little Marquis, actually you don't have to worry. Although my subordinates hate Qingjun Marquis deeply, after all, the young Marquis treats his subordinates well.
If you are kind, even if there is no such thing as 'a promise of a thousand dollars', my subordinates will not be so bored as to attack such an ineffective 'adopted son' left behind by the dead!"
Don't you know how to do it? That's fine. Qing Lan sighed, crushed all the petals he tore in his hands, and scattered them into the water. "Feng Han, why don't you tell me about your family background?"
The young man watched her throwing flower petals and slowly calmed down.
"My family background... Where do I have any family background? After the fall of the capital sixteen years ago, Hu soldiers swept through the Central Plains within a month, and cities in various places were lost one after another. The Xin family defended Chenzhou with three hundred old and weak men, blocking the enemy for three days;
After the destruction, the whole city was massacred. At that time, the subordinate's sister hugged the subordinate and hid among the corpses and survived. After that, they were wandering around, making a living, doing business, and finally found a bodyguard in a martial arts hall.
It’s just a job so that you won’t starve to death…”
"What happened next?"
"Later?...Then what the young marquis knew was that the bully took a fancy to his subordinate's sister and fabricated reasons to put him in jail...The corrupt official made a false decision and wanted to kill me; but the subordinate's sister was unwilling to accept it.
He was wronged and aggrieved, so he appealed to higher levels...The case went up one level after another, but he kept encountering corrupt people and perverting the law...until the case was delivered to the hands of the young Marquis."
"Oh." Qinglan nodded, walked a few steps away in the night wind, leaned against the bridge railing, and reached out to gently catch the fireflies flying in front of her. "So, I saved your life.
