"Brother, we are just refugees fleeing. We have no intention of competing with you for territory. From today on, we can hunt together and share the prey together." Yang Bing sincerely picked up the rabbit thrown by Harz on the ground. Passed it to Harz.
Through the exchange between Hartz and his son just now, Yang Bing could feel that the other person was not a bad person, but very innocent. Yang Bing did not want to be called an enemy with such a person.
Harz, a man with strong temperament and integrity, was stunned for a moment, and then took the prey from Yang Bing with some shame. He would never have taken it in the past.
But my tribe has been running around in the mountains for several days. If it was just men, it would be no problem to go hungry for a few meals, but the old, weak, women and children would not be able to go hungry.
"Let's get to know each other. My name is Yang Bing. I am the general of the Black Armored Guards of the Ming Dynasty." Yang Bing stretched out his hand.
"Harzhatan, leader of the Ke people, I have made you my friend, brother."
Harz, a simple and honest man, readily reached out his hand and shook it with Yang Bing, although he didn't know what etiquette was.
"Hatan? Is this your last name?" Yang Bing was stunned when he heard the word Hatan.
Harz lowered his head in shame: "Yes, I was originally the prince of the Ke Ren Kingdom, and I am the half-brother of Xigang Hatan who attacked your Ming Dynasty."
Only then did Yang Bing realize that Hartz looked somewhat similar to the Hatan he saw that day.
Then the two groups of people shared the prey together. Most of the Ke people were innocent and straightforward, and they quickly accepted Yang Bing and his party. Moreover, many people in the Ke people were injured, and Guan Shiru also He helped them treat their illnesses without reservation and won the respect of the Ke people.
Everyone was drinking and singing around the bonfire. At this time, Yang Bing asked Harz: "Harz, why did you come to this deep mountain? Ordinarily, you should be the prince of Ke Renguo. Succession to the throne is a matter of time."
Harz shook his head: "It's all my damn brother's fault. Originally, our Ke people were a friendly nation and never thought of starting a war with the Ming Dynasty. But my brother didn't think so. He was born a devil. Once I went to Ming Dynasty to meet your emperor, and he launched a coup, killed our family members with his own hands, and usurped the position of king of Ke Renguo."
After saying this, Harz's eyes were red, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "He actually killed our father with his own hands! He killed all the members of our royal family. After I returned to the clan, he framed me for colluding with the Ming Emperor. , killed our king, and I had no choice but to desperately escape with my men to this Qiling Mountain."
Yang Bing patted Hartz on the shoulder and said nothing. It was very uncomfortable for such a thing to happen to this straightforward man.
"Don't talk about me anymore, brother, how did you get into this deep mountain?"
Yang Bing smiled bitterly. To be honest, his experience was quite similar to Harz's: "What else can I do? I was killed by a traitor. I originally led the army to support the war at Tongtian Pass. When I arrived, Later, our prince gave me a list of traitors and asked me to return them to the court, but they were dispersed by traitors and collaborators on the way, so I could only attract the pursuers and flee into Qiling Mountain."
"Huh! They are all a bunch of bastards. Anyone who betrays his own people should deserve to die!" Harz said empathetically and resentfully.
At this moment, in Tongtian Pass, the fourth prince was taking advantage of the candlelight to read the art of war slips in front of the desk, trying to find something useful from the art of war passed down by the ancients. However, it may be because of the continuous war that the fourth prince's spirit was not as usual. It was so good that he fell asleep not long after.
Just after the Fourth Prince fell asleep, a soldier walked in from outside the military camp. He tiptoed to the Fourth Prince's desk, carefully took away a piece of paper with the Fourth Prince's handwriting, and walked out.
The soldier walked out of the military camp and came to a deserted forest. He turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no one, he climbed up the treetop and picked up a carrier pigeon from among the dense leaves. He took the carrier pigeon out of the cage and then He stuffed the paper with the Fourth Prince's notes into the bamboo tube on the carrier pigeon's leg and let it fly.
The carrier pigeon flew out of Tongtian Pass and quickly arrived at the military camp where Lin Ziren was stationed.
"Here, this is the handwriting of the Fourth Prince. I want you to copy it accurately. Do you understand?" Lin Ziren gave the paper with the Fourth Prince's handwriting to an old man who looked elegant.
"Yes, General Lin." The old man is Xie Housheng, a famous calligrapher from Nanhai. Not only is his calligraphy difficult to find, but what's even more amazing is that he can imitate other people's handwriting at will, so that the fake ones look real.
Under Lin Ziren's hostage, Xie Housheng made countless false documents for Lin Ziren. Although he was unwilling in his heart, his family was in the other party's hands, and Xie Housheng had no choice.
Soon according to Lin Ziren's request, Xie Housheng imitated the fourth prince's handwriting and wrote a letter.
Lin Ziren took it and took a look, then laughed loudly: "Not bad, not bad, Mr. Xie is really good at handwriting, hahaha."
But the more Lin Ziren praised himself, the more Xie Housheng suffered in his heart. It felt uncomfortable to do things without conscience. He knew that many people would die because of the letter he wrote.
"Someone is here to take Mr. Xie back to rest." Lin Ziren said without even looking at Xie Housheng: "It doesn't matter if there is a list, Zhu Yuanzhang, I just want you to not see things outside Kyoto! Sooner or later I will take your seat! "
"Somebody come!"
"General!" A soldier walked in from outside the military tent.
"Go, find someone to be the messenger in the Fourth Prince's army, and send this letter back to Kyoto and hand it over to the Emperor!"
"As you command, General."
In the city of Kyoto, everyone in the Yang Mansion was immersed in an atmosphere of sadness. All things related to red were removed, and the main hall was changed into a mourning hall. Wan Qi Keer, dressed in white, knelt on the ground and handed out one by one. Yang Bing burned the paper, his eyes were red, and he had obviously been crying for a long time.
Yang Xiyuan and Liu Yuting also had sad faces. They lost their children in middle age. One of the three major misfortunes in life has happened to them.
Yang Ruo has been hiding in her room and dare not come out, no matter who tries to persuade her.
Wan Qi Shihui felt heartbroken when he saw his daughter in such discomfort. At the same time, he also felt very sorry for Yang Bing's death.
Originally, Yang Xiyuan did not believe that Yang Bing was dead. After all, no one had seen Yang Bing's body. However, two days ago, Li Wu and Lao Er also returned to Kyoto and brought back Yang Bing's jade pendant, which also had a with dried blood stains.
When they found the jade pendant on the edge of the cliff, the second child didn't believe it and wanted to go down to have a look. However, the pursuers at the foot of the mountain discovered them and had no choice but to rush back to Kyoto.
What they didn't know was that if the two of them had walked deeper into Qiling Mountain, they would have met Yang Bing and the others.
After seeing the jade pendant, everyone's last hope was shattered.
Since there was no body, Yang Xiyuan ordered a robe that Yang Bing once loved to wear was found, a tomb was erected, and he was buried.
The day after Yang Bing's funeral, Wan Qi Kerr disappeared, along with Li Wu and Lao Er.
When the second prince learned the news, he clapped his hands and said, "Oh no, Ke'er must have taken someone to Tongtian Pass to avenge Yang Bing, this silly boy!"
From the beginning, Wan Qi Ker wanted to ask the Holy One for orders to lead troops back to support Tongtian Pass, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree. Prince Zhu Di did not want Wan Qi Ker to be in danger. Besides, the sixth prince had already led his troops. Went to support.
But Wan Qi Ke'er's stubborn temper grew. Seeing that no one was willing to send troops to her, she called Li Wu and Lao Er alone, and the three of them rushed to Tongtian Pass again. At this moment, Wan Qi Ke'er only wanted to kill her with her own hands. He killed Lin Yan and avenged Yang Bing.
But just two days after Wan Qi Keren left Kyoto, Zhu Yuanzhang received a secret letter, which was written by Lin Ziren in the handwriting of the fourth prince.
The meaning of the letter was that Yang Bing and Wan Qikeer united with the Tatars to collaborate with the enemy and treason, and forged a list to frame important officials of the court. They also handed over Pili Lei to Hatan, the Tatar prince, causing Tongtian Pass to be on the verge of being lost.
After Zhu Yuanzhang received the secret letter, Long Yan was furious and immediately summoned Yang Xiyuan and Wanqi Shihui.
After Yang Xiyuan and Wan Qi Shihui got the news, they naturally didn't believe it, but the handwriting on the letter was indeed that of the fourth prince. For a while, they didn't know what to do.
Seeing that the two had nothing to say, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered them to be thrown into prison. Everyone in the Yang Mansion and Wanqi Mansion was arrested.
This was Zhu Yuanzhang showing mercy, and at the same time, he was giving the two of them a chance to prove their innocence. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was also skeptical about the secret letter, but he had the handwriting of his fourth son in front of him. I have to believe it.
After both the Yang family and Wanqi family were imprisoned, Lin Feng could be said to be extremely happy, with a smile on his face.
His forehead was surrounded by a circle of gauze. If Yang Bing saw Lin Feng's current appearance, he would definitely think of the cartoon Black Cat Sheriff he watched in the orphanage when he was a child.
This is the best news Lin Feng has heard in the past few days.
In addition to serving Lin Feng every day, Shuang'er also had to persuade Ziyun. As a woman, Shuang'er didn't want to see Ziyun prefer death to being killed by Lin Feng in the end.
"Just obey the master. The Yang family is now in doom. Even if you are released, you will have no backer." Shuang'er put down the food and said to Ziyun.
"Hmph! You don't have to scare me. When my young master and master find me, let's see what you do!" Ziyun was still neither humble nor overbearing.
Shuang'er chuckled: "Everyone in the Yang family was imprisoned by the Holy Master yesterday. Even Wanqi Shihui's family were imprisoned. They were charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason. I think the nine tribes will be punished."
After finishing speaking, Shuang'er turned and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she turned her head slightly and said, "A servant like you will die if you return to the Yang Mansion. Why bother? If you follow the master now, I can save your life. I think Think about it.”
