Those soldiers who could not enter the city outside the city gate, after Zheng Hui and the generals surnamed Yang were killed, no one stood up to continue to lead, just when they were at a loss, Fei Qian hung Zheng Hui's body on the city wall, those soldiers were dumbfounded, and after standing for a while, and then they didn't know which person fled first, and in a blink of an eye, they scattered in a hurry, and retreated completely, leaving only the corpses and the remains of various instruments.

At this moment, seeing that the outcome had been decided, Fei Qian's tense nerves finally let go, and he suddenly felt sore, as if every muscle in his body was in pain, so he couldn't support it anymore, and sat down slowly against the female wall.

The sky was completely dark, and the only source of light was the fire near the city gates, the flames of which burned everything that could be burned, and the scorched human body and grain and grass emitted an indescribable smell of burning, mixed with the heavy smell of blood on the walls, which was disgusting.

But Fei Qian didn't have as strong discomfort with the smell of blood as he did last time, and in comparison, it was already a kind of happiness to be alive, even if the smell was unpleasant, at least it was ten thousand times stronger than those lying on the ground.

Fei Qian couldn't help but tilt his head, although only one area near the city gate was bright, and most of the other places were shrouded in darkness, Fei Qian still seemed to be able to see the pair of eyes staring at him......

The biggest living creature in the future of Fei Xian only killed the chicken once, and because he failed to grasp it steadily, the chicken actually got rid of it when he killed it, and the chicken that cut the throat just pulled up to the half-broken neck, and jumped on the ground with fluttering belts, splashing the chicken's blood everywhere.

Since that time, Fei Qian has never killed any chickens and ducks, and he has asked the people in the vegetable market to kill them directly before taking them home, and he no longer dares to kill big creatures with his own hands.

But I didn't expect that just now, I ended a person's life with my own hands......

Fei Qian spread out his hands, and under the light of the jumping fire, the blood scabs on his hands took on an eerie black-brown color, like the color of magma after it had dried up.

I don't know when, Zhang Liao walked over, sat down beside Fei Qian, stretched his legs straight, leaned against the female wall like that, and let out a long breath.

"Listen to your personal guard, Ziyuan, you killed a soldier just now?"

"Hmm." Fei Qian responded.

After being silent for a while, Fei Qian asked, "Brother Wen Yuan still remembers when he first killed someone?" ”

"Naturally, I remember, how can I not remember? My family was originally in Yanmen Mayi, but later because of ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Liao paused for a moment, lowered his voice a little, and continued, "Does Ziyuan know about the 'Mayi scheme'?" ”

"Ma Yi's scheme?" Fei Qian also followed Zhang Liao's example, leaned his back against the female wall, straightened his legs, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Wen Yuan said something more than three hundred years ago? ”

Zhang Liao snorted and said, "...... I myself after the Nie clan ......"

"Nie?" Fei Qian raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Zhang Liao, and asked, "But Ma Yi Nie?" ”

"Yes, Ma Yi Nie." Zhang Liao repeated, then paused for a moment before continuing, "My ancestor Nie Weng ...... back then."

It turned out that Zhang Liao was not originally surnamed Zhang, but surnamed Nie, and was a descendant of Nie Yi, a super wealthy merchant in Mayi during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the military ministers of the Xiongnu only asked for an alliance with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the government at that time was divided into two major factions, namely the moderates who advocated continuing to be friendly and the radicals who felt that they should teach the Xiongnu a lesson.

At that time, Zhang Liao's ancestor Nie Yi was in favor of taking action against the Xiongnu, and it happened that he was a guest at the house of Wang Hui of Daxing Ling, so he offered advice to him, saying that he could lure the military ministers Shan Yu into the fortress in Mayi, carry out plunder, and then wipe out the Xiongnu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally agreed to this plan and sent the guard commander Li Guangxiao cavalry general, the servant grandson Qingche general, the great line order Wang Hui general Tun, the Taizhong doctor Li Xicaiguan general, and the imperial historian Han Anguo Protector General five generals, laid a heavy siege in Mayi, waiting for the Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu to fall into the trap.

However, when the monarch was marching, he found that there were only livestock and no one in sight between the cities and fields, so he became suspicious. He sent troops to capture a pillbox and captured a lieutenant. The lieutenant Shi was tortured, but told the truth that more than 300,000 Han troops had been ambushed near Mayi, and Shan Yu, who saw through the conspiracy, retreated in shock, and the "Mayi Scheme" ended in failure.

Later, the general Wang Hui sat on the lead and did not enter, was imprisoned and died, and the other generals who fought together also lost their military power one after another, and they were replaced by a new generation of generals who were more friendly to Confucianism......

The Ma Yi Nie clan was not spared from disaster because someone took the blame. Because he offended the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and had no credit to the Han Dynasty, and the military ministers at that time Shan Yu invaded many times to retaliate against the Han Dynasty, many people were very hostile to the Nie family, so the Nie family could not continue to live in Mayi, and the family fled to Jiuyuan to avoid trouble, and changed the surname Nie to Zhang, and the family road also declined because of this incident......

Zhang Liao said: "...... When I was fourteen years old, I was taken out of Yanmen by the elders of my family, caught a Hu man, and killed him with my own hands...... I still remember the heat of the blood splashed on me when I cut down the Hu man with a knife...... That was the first person I killed, and I was crying when I was done, hehe...... This is also a tradition that my family has adhered to for 300 years, and every man has to perform a ritual when he reaches the age of fourteen, in order not to forget the ...... of the family."

Zhang Liao didn't finish speaking, and his tone seemed to be very flat, but Fei Qian could hear the sadness hidden in it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

could have been a wealthy family steadily, of course, it was not ruled out that Nie Yi wanted to go one step further at that time, but after all, the starting point was good, and no one could guarantee that such a thing as war would be good, and he had to not only bear the blame after the failure of the plan, but also be hostile to the people who were also Han Min......

The reason why Zhang Liao told Fei Qian about this was that, on the one hand, he felt that Fei Qian was a good person, and he had also fought side by side, and he was asked by Huang Cheng to enlighten him; On the other hand, Zheng Yan's last words before his death also stimulated him......

Because Zheng Yu thinks that he is right, I, Zhang Liao, must obediently let you kill him?

If I resist, I am aiding and abetting, and I will not die well?

Ancestor Nie Weng was involved in the dispute between the generals of the old and new generations of leaders, and it was more than 300 years to avoid trouble, but I didn't expect that now I, Zhang Liao, are also involved in the dispute between Shandong and Shanxi......

Alas!

Fei Qian felt Zhang Liao's kindness, a fourteen-year-old person, unless he was murderous by nature, the first killing was certainly not a very pleasant experience, and Zhang Liao was willing to share it and use it to comfort himself......

"Brother Wenyuan, I haven't thanked you for teaching me marksmanship, well, thank you!"

"You're welcome," Zhang Liao turned his head to look at Fei Qian, and said, "Haha, it seems that the Zhongping gun I taught you seems to have been practicing all along!" ”

This point still made Zhang Liao a little surprised, after all, it is not easy for a literati who has never been in contact with martial arts to persist in practicing, not to mention that the simpler the fact is often the more difficult it is to adhere to, which Zhang Liao himself also deeply understands.

Zhang Liao said: "It's a pity that my marksmanship is not suitable for Yu Ziyuan. However, before I was engaged in Jiuyuan, I had also traveled to the Northland, and I met a person in Zhending, and his marksmanship was very good, which can be said to have brought the flexibility of marksmanship to the extreme, if Ziyuan is interested, he can find this person to learn that kind of flexible marksmanship......"

Fei Qian silently wrote down that this troubled era is about to begin, and one more skill is one more hope to live.

The long night of blood and fire had finally passed, and the long crashing stakes under the West City Gate had burned all night, and they were gradually extinguished as the morning approached.

It's a new day, but I don't know if there will be any dirty shadows under this new sun......
