Chapter 1144 Confused

The rain trickles down from the eaves, and the beauty of this beaded curtain is more perfect than any handmade beaded curtain. The house is a bit old, so the once bright red tiles look grayish-black. Judging from the architecture, the owner of this house should be a small rich family, but it is certainly not an official eunuch.

When the water droplets were connected, it was completely dark.

Under the eaves, on both sides of the steps, there are already small shallow puddles on the paved bluestone slabs, which shows that the house has been built for some years.

From the open window, there were puffs of white smoke coming out, and the white smoke was especially thick in the faint light of the room on a rainy night.

Yang Shun, who felt more and more old, would sit on the clay kang in the house, sipping his pipe one by one. Then deliberately raise your head and blow the smoke out of the window.

This is a small village that has been dilapidated, and as for where the people in the village have run away now, the ghost knows. The crossing of foreigners is more ruthless than the locusts sweeping the fields, and those foreigners who regard the Han people as an inferior people will not spare their lives. In their eyes, there is no difference between the status of Han Chinese and cattle, sheep and pigs.

No, the difference is that a foreign soldier will not rape a pig, but will never spare a beautiful girl.

Yang Shun stretched his waist and stretched his arms, but found that his spine could not be straight no matter what. He attributed this to the ruthlessness of the years, and did not think deeply about it anywhere else. The rain outside the window had been going on for a day, and it was not something to be frustrated for him to stop the army's journey, on the contrary, he was somewhat relieved.

The foreigners forced him to send troops, for him, whether he sent troops or did not send troops, the infamy had already been borne up, even if he took a bath with boiling water and scalded off a layer of skin, he could not get rid of it.

He smoked a cigarette, and his thoughts were as misty as the smoke that came out.

At the beginning, in order to avoid Yang Jian, he fled to Eastern Xinjiang. Mu Guangling, who had a close relationship with him, gave him Muping City, and it didn't matter whether it was out of good intentions or bad intentions, because it was when he arrived in Muping City that he Yang Shunhui became a traitor who had been scolded by the Han people for eight generations of ancestors.

Therefore, Yang Shun would even hate Mu Guangling.

If Mu Guangling refused to take him in at the beginning, where should he be?

He didn't know, but what he did know was that he would definitely not be used as a knife by foreigners. Real money is weak, in fact, Yang Shun will know that sooner or later he will become like this. It's just that sometimes he is confused, why do he want so much gold and silver treasure?

He stretched his head out of the kang and glanced at his son, who was sleeping at the long table in the room outside.

Finally, there are some reasons to be at ease.

He never refused to let his son get in touch with what he did, when he used to fight for the Great Sui court, he didn't want his son to bring a sword and armor, because he only had this one son, he didn't need any glory or honor, he just wanted his son to live well.

He also did not allow his son to participate in the transaction with foreigners, and he did not even tell his son how much benefit he had received.

But this time, he had to go with his son.

He didn't dare to leave his son in Muping City, even if it was to leave 10,000 elite soldiers for his son, not even if he left half of the men and horses for his son, he didn't dare. As soon as he leaves, the place will be ablaze, a fire of anger and hatred. The people of Muping City, who had been oppressed by foreigners, did not dare to do anything to him, but after he left with his troops, no one dared to guarantee what kind of beasts those people would become.

He was right, and after he left, the mansion he had lived in had been burned to the ground.

His son Yang Caiping slept deeply, because he had not experienced the pain of marching, so he was tired enough to choke, and not long after lying down, there was a sound of snoring. For Yang Caiping, Yang Shunhui has doted on him to the point of no return. He felt that the most correct thing he had done in his life was to escape from Chang'an.

Because he heard that anyone with the blood of the Yang family is basically dead.

Although the relationship between him and the royal family is already very weak.

"Father, why aren't you sleeping?"

When he was in a trance, Yang Shunhui didn't notice that his son had gotten up, entered the back room with an oil lamp, and then sat down on the edge of the kang: "It's late at night, and you'll have to hurry early tomorrow, right?" ”

"Not in a hurry."

Yang Shunhui smiled kindly at his son: "In this kind of weather, even if the rain stops in the middle of the night, there will be no way to go on the road tomorrow, the road is muddy, and it is still difficult for people to walk, not to mention those big cars in the baggage camp, if they fall into the mud, it is not easy to push them out." It is difficult for you to follow the expedition for your father. It's rare for you to suffer like this, except this is the last time you left Chang'an City. ”

"Father, why did you pack all the things in the house and bring them with you? We're not going to settle down? ”

Although he is almost thirty years old, Yang Caiping, who is doted on so much that he still sees the problem simply, asks. He didn't know and didn't think about it, Mu Pingcheng was a thing of the past for their father and son.

"Not necessarily, but I shouldn't be going back for a long time."

"Oh father, who are we going to fight this time? Foreigner? ”

"No one is playing this time, it's just a routine change of defense. Have you forgotten, we haven't moved for several years from Chang'an City to Muping City. We're here to defend the border, so naturally we can't always stay in one place. According to the practice of the Great Sui, the border army had to change its guard every few years. ”

He lied, and he also knew that his son would not doubt himself.

"I thought it was a foreigner."

Yang Caiping yawned: "When I went out to play in Muping City, the people didn't seem to like foreigners, and they didn't seem to like me." Wherever I went, the people were scattered. I asked He Kui, and He Kui said that the people were afraid of me. I don't like the people to be afraid of me, and I'm not a beast of prey. ”

"Go to sleep."

Yang Shun rubbed his son's forehead: "If the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, let's barbecue meat in this house." ”

He Kui gently closed the door of the inner room, lest he wake up Yang Caiping, who had fallen into a deep sleep again. As one of Yang Shunhui's cronies, he knows very well where Yang Shunhui's rebel scales are.

"General, do you have something to order?"

He walked over and stood against the edge of the kang, respectful.

"I'm going to give you a task, a task that is more important than anything else He Kui, you've been with me for a long time, right? used to let you lead the Beizi Battalion, and then transferred you back to be a general in the pro-military battalion, and then asked you to protect Huiji, it seems that it has been at least ten years, right? ”

"It's been twenty years."

He Kui replied respectfully: "It has been seventeen years since I was humbled to the young master, and if you count the previous ones, twenty years will be a little more." ”

"Huiji and you are the best."

Yang Shun said in a low voice.

Huiji is Yang Caiping's word.

"That's because the young master can afford to be lowly and is willing to be friends with lowly duties. Speaking of which, over the years I have accompanied the young master, I have also learned a lot of things. ”

"Falsehood"

Yang Shunhui shook his head: "Huiji is simple and even a little silly, what can he teach you?" But your care for him has been remembered by me all these years. It is precisely because you are distracted and Huiji trusts you, so I will find you tonight. ”

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Early tomorrow morning, you will take people to the baggage camp, where there are ten carriages that I have specially made people distinguish, and they contain more than half of my savings over the years. I will transfer a thousand men from the pro-military camp to you, and tomorrow night, you will escort Huiji and the ten carriages out of the brigade and wait for me in Gaoning. ”

"Gao Ning?"

He Kui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the map spread on the earthen kang. The lights are a little dim, but the red dot marked on the map is particularly eye-catching.

"Yes, Gao Ning."

Yang Shun will point to the location of the red dot: "I can't leave the team, there are foreigners' eyeliner everywhere, if I go with you, I'm afraid that the foreigners will know about it immediately." So I'm going to continue to lead the team to Phoenix Terrace, and when I get there, I'll look for a chance to leave. You go directly to Gaoning, and after you arrive in Gaoning, you will go directly to the sea, and there is a small island called Zhenshan about 400 miles away from Gaoning, waiting for me there. ”

"General!"

He Kui's face turned a little pale: "You want to abandon the team?" ”

"Abandon it!"

Yang Shunhui nodded heavily: "This battle can't be fought." Even if the soldiers haven't turned against me now, when I get to Phoenix Terrace, I'm sure that few people will pick up weapons and attack the Black Flag Army in Phoenix Terrace. If this battle is fought, I am a sinner. If I don't fight this battle, I'm still a sinner. But if I don't fight, at least I have some acceptability on my conscience. Wait for me when you get to Zhenshan Island, and then we will go directly to Bohai Kingdom. ”

He pointed to a place on the map.

"The Bohai Kingdom was also a vassal state of the Great Sui, but after the Great Sui rebellion, the connection was severed. The Bohai Kingdom once had an army sent by the Great Sui, and the person who led the troops was called Gao Mengxiang. Although the Bohai country is bitterly cold, it is peaceful there. I don't have the heart to conquer the world again, and I don't have the heart to think about the Ninety-Five. I just want to give Huiji a good life, and I can't let my Yang family be broken. ”

"Good!"

He Kui bit his lip: "No matter what you decide, General, you will follow to the death." ”

"Hmm!"

Yang Shunhui nodded: "I can still trust you." In fact, there is no need for us to participate in this battle now, I have taken the benefits of foreigners, and the Han people can no longer tolerate me. I don't use troops against the Han people, and the foreigners can't tolerate me. We have a good second half of our lives in Bohai Country, there is no shortage of wealth, and we are comfortable. ”

"The general is far-sighted."

He Kui glanced outside: "But, how do you explain it to the young master?" ”

"Let's just say that I was ordered by the imperial court to be transferred to the Bohai State to serve, and he is simple and will not doubt it."

"Hmm"

He Kui sighed: "The general has also worked hard for the young master. ”

"But once the foreigners suspect it, will they chase and kill it?"

He Kui suddenly asked: "Once we have no team, will the Jianghu guests chase and kill?" ”

Yang Shunhui's eyes changed, and when he looked at He Kui, he didn't find the complicated meaning in the eyes of this old subordinate, there were worries, fears, and confusion. There were some other things, but they were carefully hidden by He Kui. Maybe everyone has things on their minds, and these things can't be taken out to bask in the sun.

What's more, it's raining so hard today.
