"...My husband, General Dugu and his brother, the three of them worked together to get rid of the obstruction of the snakes, and faced Yin Batian, the leader of the Seventh Cultivator Sect. After a hard battle, Yin Batian was seriously injured. Seeing that victory was in sight, who knew that the Seventh Cultivator would... An elder sent out a three-foot-long seven-headed giant snake. It was extremely powerful and full of poison, and could not be matched by human beings~!
Under the critical situation, my husband ordered Dugu Feiying to lead the army to retreat first. He and General Dugu led the remaining imperial guards to entangle the seven-headed giant snake to buy time for the army. Later, the seven-headed giant snake became furious several times, causing heavy casualties to the dozens of remaining imperial guards.
At the last moment, the guard captain Zhao Siwei led the remaining guards and took the initiative to fight against the seven-headed giant snake. He wanted to create an escape opportunity for General Dugu and my husband. My husband was unable to stop him, but he also didn’t want the sacrifice of all the soldiers to be in vain, so he had no choice but to Take General Dugu and retreat~! "
Recalling the life-and-death experiences that Li Zexuan recounted the night before, Han Yuxi couldn't help but her eyes turned red. She looked at the more than fifty widows of martyrs in mourning clothes in front of her and said deeply:
"This is what happened before and after the Battle of Snake Spirit Mountain. What I just said is absolutely not false. The more than 3,000 Beiya Imperial Guards who survived can all testify for me~! The husbands of your sisters unfortunately died in this battle. , Yu Xi and her husband feel deeply guilty, but if they say that the failure of this battle is entirely due to my husband alone, Yu Xi can’t agree~!
The topography of Snake Spirit Mountain, the poison barrier, the martial arts masters at the peak of their masters, and the seven giant snakes. Under these unfavorable factors, if any general were to take command, with the same strength of troops, there would be no way to save him~! On this point, the Holy Emperor and the Dukes Gonggun in the court have already made a conclusion~!
Jiang Cuihua, you are still here talking nonsense and slandering my husband's reputation. Are you more sage than the important ministers in the court and the current majesty~? "
Han Yuxi almost shouted this last sentence.
It's okay for others to talk about her behind her back, but she will never allow it to speak ill of Li Zexuan~!
Jiang Cuihua has touched her bottom line today~!
Moreover, Jiang Cuihua's practice of using the pain of a martyr's widow to achieve her own sinister purposes made her feel very disgusted~!
With Han Yuxi's last hoarse roar, Jiang Cuihua's face instantly turned pale, and the crowd around him fell into a dead silence. Regarding the battle at Snake Spirit Mountain, they had only heard about it through hearsay, and they never expected that the real situation would be. So dangerous~!
Especially when the seven big snakes came out to fight, Li Zexuan chose to personally cut off the rear and cover the retreat of the army. This move moved everyone~! Others have achieved great success with just one general, but Li Zexuan can do this as a general. No matter how picky he is, he can't pick out any more thorns! Although he was defeated in the end, it can only be said to be a crime other than war~!
In the end, those imperial guards who bravely went to the uprising were said to have bought time for Li Zexuan and Dugu Xin to retreat, but how could they not be covering the retreat of the main army~?
Even without their sacrifices, Li Zexuan and Dugu Xin might not be in trouble, but the four thousand forbidden troops are estimated to have suffered more than 90% casualties, so in other words, they did not die for Li Zexuan and Dugu Xin, but instead took the place of the other three thousand Many brothers died!
"Your Majesty is loyal, brave and benevolent. I was wrong to blame him. He really deserves death~!"
A white-haired old man cupped his hands at Han Yuxi and said in a trembling voice.
When he saw how pitiful the widows were, he shouted a few slogans. Now after listening to Han Yuxi's story, he immediately blamed himself.
"I was wrong to blame Sir, and I really deserve to die~!"
If such an old man can take the initiative to admit his mistakes, how can others have the nerve to continue to be ostriches~? So those who had been making noises all started to apologize one after another.
"You don't have to be like this~! You were just deceived by Jiang Cuihua's sweet words, no wonder you~! The real guilty one is Jiang Cuihua~!"
Han Yuxi waved her hands at those people, then turned around and ordered: "Pang Sige, take her to Dali Temple for interrogation. I want to see who wants to deliberately discredit my husband~!"
Such a big thing happened. As the head guard of the Li Mansion, Pang Feiji had already ran out after hearing the noise. When he heard Han Yuxi's order, he quickly clasped his fists and said loudly:
"Yes~! Young Madam~!"
After that, he waved his hand and said viciously: "Go~! Get it for me~!"
"Stop~!"
Jiang Cuihua's eyes widened, and she said in panic: "You can't take me, I'm just helping them seek justice, I'm not guilty, I'm not guilty~!"
"Hmph~! You are guilty~!"
At this time, there was an angry snort from outside the crowd! Everyone looked around and saw an old lady in black plain clothes walking tremblingly towards this side with a cane.
"Mom~? Why are you here~?"
Xia Wanqing in the crowd was shocked when she saw the person coming. She stood up in a hurry and wanted to come over and help the old lady.
"Hmph~! If I don't come, Si Wei's reputation will be ruined~! Wan Qing, you are really confused. How can you believe the slanderous words of Jiang Cuihua, a talkative woman~?"
That's right, this old lady is Zhao Siwei's biological mother. According to custom, elders are not allowed to pay tribute to younger generations, so she only wore black clothes.
At this time, when Xia Wanqing came up to her, the old lady had no intention of showing mercy to her daughter-in-law in front of others. She scolded her sternly.
"Mom~! I was wrong, don't get so angry~!"
Xia Wanqing's eyes were red, she quickly supported the old lady and said warmly.
"Hmph~! I'll talk to you later~!"
The old lady tapped the ground hard with her cane, then came to Jiang Cuihua tremblingly, and without saying a word, she picked up the cane and started beating her.
"Jiang Cuihua, you long-tongued woman, I let you deceive my daughter-in-law~! I let you corrupt my Si Weiyingming~! You still want justice~? My Si Weili protects the main general and is not afraid of death. Although there are no bones left, he is still alive. If you sacrifice your life for the country, even if you die, it will be an honor, so why do you need a long-tongued shrew like you to come here to seek justice~?"
It was obvious that the old lady was very angry and every stroke of the cane she made was very hard.
When Jiang Cuihua saw the old lady approaching, she already realized that something was wrong. She quickly ran away, not daring to resist at all!
The ancients valued filial piety. Although Jiang Cuihua dared to bully her mother-in-law occasionally at home, if she dared to beat such an old lady in front of so many people, even if the bystanders came up and beat her to death on the spot, the court would not Punish that man for his sins!
At this time, the social status of the elderly is still quite high!
She didn't expect that even if she didn't take action, others would want to beat her to death.
After the people around heard what the old lady said, they couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"Good~! What a good person who sacrificed his life for the country and died with honor~! The old lady understands the righteousness, well done~!"
"Yes, yes, yes~! Damn it for Jiang Cuihua~! You actually use other people's pain of losing their husbands to achieve your own ulterior purposes, damn it~!"
"Beat her to death~! Beat her to death~!"
"Go and help catch her, don't let her escape~!"
Brother Ji originally wanted the two Wuhou next to him to catch Jiang Cuihua with both hands. Unexpectedly, before he could tell him, the crowd of onlookers had already taken action.
So the old lady didn't need to chase after her at all, she just needed to wave her crutch to Jiang Cuihua!
Within a moment, Jiang Cuihua was beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, crying for her father and mother.
"Woo~~ Si Wei, damn, stop fighting~! Stop fighting~! I know I was wrong~!"
Jiang Cuihua tilted her head to avoid being hit by the crutch, and cried and begged for mercy.
Han Yuxi saw that if she continued to fight, she would be killed. She came over quickly and said, "Auntie~! Please stop fighting. I will send Jiang Cuihua to Dali Temple and she will be punished~!"
