Volume 3 Chapter 292 Revenge (2)
It was about to fall into the night, and in a corner of Chang'an City, clusters of flames were burning, but it was the children of Yizhou who were cremating the remains of those dead compatriots.
The firelight was reflected on the people's faces, and the boys were all pale, and their fists were clenched to death, obviously suppressing the anger in their hearts; And many of the girls are sobbing softly at the moment, and the tears that have fallen inadvertently are also flashing under the firelight.
Among the girls, Nie Qianzheng was wiping her tears while bowing her head and whispering: "Why is this happening?" I rushed back to Chang'an at midnight, and I also met Zhong Xiangguo, Zhong Xiangguo promised to send reinforcements immediately, but why did the reinforcements not be sent out until after dawn? It's been a long time! If the reinforcements had been sent out in time at that time, the university dean would not have died so much! Why is that!? I'm damn it, too, why can't I hold on a little longer, and go to Zhongli Senior and them again......"
Zhong Lihao was standing next to Nie Qian, and then stretched out his hand and patted Nie Qian's back: "How can I blame you?" You're just a little girl, after a day of going back and forth yesterday, where can your body and bones withstand it? This is you, if you want to change to another little girl, you may be planted from the horse halfway, but you still stubbornly hold on to Chang'an to report the news. It's just ...... to blame."
The sound of these words was not loud, but under this solemn atmosphere, the circle of people on the side could hear it clearly. At this time, there were many soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City who came to bid farewell to the dead Yizhou children, so the conversation between Nie Qian and Zhong Lihao also came into their ears, so that many people who were not clear about what was going on this time understood the cause and effect of the incident.
It's just that this makes these soldiers and civilians in Chang'an more and more puzzled. Chang'an has been fighting for two years now...... To be precise, it was more than two years, because before the Western Regions Coalition invaded the border, there were no fewer chaotic battles here in Chang'an, such as Ma Chao and Han Sui once forced Chang'an. It's not far away, anyway, Chang'an in this period is basically equivalent to a military town, plus Zhong Xuan's ability is excellent, so Chang'an's military mobilization ability has always been very fast, which is something that the military and civilians of Chang'an know.
And here's the problem, with Chang'an's military mobilization ability, the troops can be sent out within half an hour after receiving the news, but according to Nie Qian, she rushed back to Chang'an in the middle of the night, and Chang'an here is a little slower because it is late at night, but an hour is enough, so why didn't Chang'an's reinforcements set off until after dawn? No matter how long it is delayed, is this time too long?
People were talking in low voices, and Nie Qian was still sobbing in low voices. It wasn't until Zhong Lihao's hand pressed on Nie Qian's shoulder and shook his head silently at Nie Qian that Nie Qian barely stopped sobbing...... Well, Nie Qian's words just now were actually secretly instructed by Zhong Lihao, but they were also explained to Zhong Lihao by Lu Ren. And there is only one intention for this, that is, to deliberately spread some doubts in this incident.
But then again, although it was Lu Ren who confessed to let Zhong Lihao and Nie Qian do this, which meant a little bit of acting and showmanship, the grief and indignation in Zhong Lihao and Nie Qian's hearts were not fake, or it should be said that Lu Ren asked them to act a little by the way while bidding farewell to their compatriots. But what about acting, and what about not acting? Zhong Lihao and Nie Qian, even if they don't act, want to pour out the grief and doubt in their hearts, and the explanation given by Lu Ren is nothing more than pointing out a clear direction for the grief and doubt in their hearts.
The cremation fire was still burning, but there were already a few urns that had gathered the ashes, and Zhong Lihao was also solemnly hanging the identity plates of the children of Yizhou on the boxes. When he saw one of them, Zhong Lihao was silent for a moment, and then handed the bone helmet box and nameplate to Nie Qian...... This dead Yizhou disciple is Nie Qian's lover. If it weren't for this accident, this dead Yizhou kid would have officially married Nie Qian when he returned to Yizhou.
In fact, there are many pairs like Nie Qian, and the girls in the team at that time were all driven to Meridian Valley by Xu Shang, so now all the girls holding the lover's urn are girls. Looking at the deceased lover in their hands, the girls either cried or bit their lips and were silent, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing for a while. And seeing such a scene, none of the people present will feel better.
Compared with some other girls, Nie Qian didn't cry, but after looking at the lover's nameplate in her hand for a long time, she suddenly smiled sadly, and whispered: "Bastard, you just left me like this?" Didn't we say that after we returned to Yizhou, you would take me to see Miss Lan's concert? You also said that your favorite song is Miss Lan's "String Song Love", but can you still hear it now? Miss Lan isn't here, I'll sing it to you......"
Gently twitched, and then reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, Nie Qian sang softly:
"The drizzle drifts / the breeze shakes / with infatuation for a long time; The snow falls/The Yellow River is turbid/Let him be heartbroken; Put it down / Sword in hand / I'm willing; Recalled/Heart-to-heart/Fate is ......"
This is not a play arranged by Lu Ren, and it is impossible for Lu Ren to arrange the play in detail to this part, so this is completely Nie Qian's feelings. It is precisely because Nie Qian is a lover that she is really inspired by her feelings, this song "String Song Asking for Love", which is widely circulated in Yizhou, Nie Qian realized the true taste of the song at this moment, and also sang the true flavor of the song.
Needless to say, the infectious power contained in such a singing voice soon a circle of Yizhou girls on the side also sang along with Nie Qian. And when the song spread with the spread of the fire, I don't know how many people had tears on their faces......
In mid-air, Lu Ren and Shirley were also sitting on the board and watching the cremation fire in the field. Lu Ren admits that he often becomes not a thing because of interests and considerations, but Lu Ren also admits that he has never thrown away the conscience in his heart. For example, in the scene now, Lu Ren has arranged a little bit of a scene, but in the end, Lu Ren doesn't want to give his Yizhou children a bad breath? And at this time, he has not left Chang'an, and Lu Ren also wants to send farewell to these dead Yizhou disciples in his own way, so that he can at least feel at ease.
At this moment, Lu Ren also heard the poignant singing. For no reason, Lu Ren sighed softly and then said to Shirley next to him: "Shirley, do you know?" I was almost crazy because of Wan'er's death, but it was Wen Ji who used this song to bring back my god. After many years, I heard such a song on such an occasion again, and I felt ...... Alas, I don't even know what to say, anyway, I feel a little panicked in my heart. ”
It has been 20 years since Shirley "joined the WTO", and she is no longer the almost robot-like existence, and she will be black from time to time, but she naturally has her own emotional side. Listening to Lu Ren's words at this moment, Shirley nodded silently, then turned her head to Lu Ren and said, "Master, I suddenly feel that I am lucky to follow you." Because after following you, I gradually found that I had become much more complete, and I had become a real, complete being, with my own loves, hatreds, sorrows, joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Without that, I'm no different from an emotionless robot. ”
Lu Ren shook his head, and tried very hard to control the emotional feelings that surged up in his heart: "I said you, let's watch less of those messy things." We are now in such a position, and many times we cannot be affected by these emotional things. ”
Shirley glanced at Lu Ren: "Can you really get rid of these?" ”
Lu Ren shook his head: "I can't shake it off." If I could get rid of it, I probably wouldn't be me. But when it's time to control it, it's better to try to control it. But I'm really annoyed right now, what kind of battle do you say this is fighting? Throughout the history of our Chinese people, in fact, foreign enemies often have no choice but to help us, and we often lose at the hands of our own people. Genghis Khan? Manchu entry? ! If it weren't for the fact that there were a bunch of Han intellectuals who were reused by them, would they have been able to get in? ”
Shirley sighed: "Master, you are angry and one-sided again. ”
Lu Ren smiled self-deprecatingly: "I know, but many times if I don't scold a few words, I feel uncomfortable." Isn't that the same thing happening now? To be honest, these Yizhou children of mine did not die at the hands of foreign enemies, but died at the hands of Cao Pi, the so-called own people. Therefore, the most harmful people will always be these 'own people'. Bother!! ”
Shirley didn't answer, but looked at the time before saying to Lu Ren, "Master, let's go back early." I know you're going to make a move on Cao Pi next, but you can't do anything if you stay here. ”
Lu Ren nodded, then looked at the flames that were burning below, and said secretly in his heart: "Children, you wait, I will help you get this breath back no matter what!" ”
There was nothing to say all night, at least Zhong Lihao and the others did not answer some of Cao Pi's actions. And after dawn the next day, almost all the Yizhou children in Chang'an City were doing the same thing, that is, packing up and preparing to evacuate from Chang'an.
In this way, let's not talk about what the reaction of ordinary people in Chang'an will be for the time being, but many relevant personnel are panicking. You must know that the children of Yizhou still have a lot of things to do here in Chang'an, and now they just leave without leaving them, and there are many related things here in Chang'an, and the people here in Chang'an don't know how to take over.
Naturally, at this time, there will be many people who will advise the children of Yizhou, whether they are soft or hard, there are all kinds of situations, but all the children of Yizhou throw back is one sentence: "Where do we dare to work with you who are ungrateful and will not be saved in death?" God knows if you will go back and not save the rest of us, or even unload the mill and kill the donkey!? ”
The text is soft, but it's easy to say, and when you encounter this kind of response, you naturally lose your temper; And Wu's hard, the response of the Yizhou disciples was even tougher: "Come on! Hit! Kill!! I didn't save you when I saw death before, but now you know that you're going to attack us, right? ”
Well, Wu's hard one lost his temper at this time. Seriously, who would dare to make a big deal out of it at this point? An incident of seeing death and not saving it has already made Chang'an City a lot of discussions, and if it really starts with the children of Yizhou...... Forget it, I don't need to say much about this.
In fact, this is also Lu Ren's purpose, that is, to make a big scene, the bigger it is, the less big it is. At this time, if you still don't speak out because you are afraid of something, public opinion will be easily controlled by Cao Pi, so won't the children of Yizhou, who have died very wrongly, be even more aggrieved?
Further, if public opinion is not made bigger, it is likely that it will also encourage some of Cao Pi's bad intentions, and then the remaining Yizhou children will be in danger. And once the public opinion is big, Cao Pi will throw himself into the rat trap, which can allow the remaining Yizhou children to evacuate safely from Cao Wei's territory. has already lost hundreds of years of elites of the younger generation, and Lu Ren doesn't want to see any more losses.
At the same time, although Lu Ren was still on his way back to Yizhou, he didn't return to Yizhou so soon, but don't forget that Lu Ren has his means of communication, and Cai Yan is guarding a communicator. After Lu Ren returned to the landing craft, he contacted Cai Yan and Xun Yu as soon as possible, told Cai Yan and Xun Yu the original story of this incident, and then instructed Cai Yan and Xun Yu to draft a document condemning Cao Pi for not saving him if he saw death.
Not only that, but the printing department and propaganda machine in Yizhou also began to operate in full force at Lu Ren's request, in order to spread Cao Pi's evil deeds to every region of China in the fastest possible time...... Don't doubt the power of Yizhou's current propaganda machine. Two months, at most only two months, the little that Cao Pi did can make trouble to the point that everyone knows.
In this regard, Xun Yu expressed concern to Lu Ren from the perspective of the overall situation. If nothing else, the battle in Chang'an has not yet been fought, no matter what Cao Pi says, after all, he is still responsible for the task of countering the Western Regions Alliance and the Xiongnu, at this time, if Cao Pi's reputation is stinky, is it a little inappropriate?
But Lu Ren's answer is very simple, that is, if you do something wrong, you have to carry the pot that should be carried! Could it be that this so-called war situation has become a situation, and my Yizhou children will have to die in obscurity? If you still want your face, you have to find a way to make up for what you did wrong and re-establish your prestige.
And right now, what can you do to earn more face and prestige than Cao Pi to attack foreign enemies with all his might? Okay, even if you Cao Pi can be shameless, the soldiers and civilians over there in Chang'an still want their faces!!
Of course, Lu Ren also knew about this, and he had to guide him in secret......
