The pile of corpses and Gu Xiaotang's death made Qin Qin fall into the nightmare of ten years ago again. After the war, the victims were everywhere, and the corpses were piled up like mountains, just like what he had seen on the outskirts of the city that day.
Qin Qin waved his hand: "You go down first. It's late at night. Get some rest early. Tomorrow, come with me to the palace to request a search warrant."
Qin Qin opened his eyes with bright eyes: "Let's check one by one!"
Meng Yu's heart trembled, knowing that this matter had touched the general's bottom line, he bent down and clasped his hands: "Yes!"
After Meng Yu withdrew, Qin Qin sat alone in front of the desk for a long time. He held the case tightly in his hand, loosening and tightening it.
The nightmare that he had finally gotten out of a few days ago flashed before his eyes again and again.
White clothes, ferocious smiles, rain of blood, corpses...
Qin Qin shook his head to wake himself up.
He lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The bright moonlight entered the Consul General's Mansion, and the quiet moonlight shone in Qin Qin's eyes. Those starry eyes rode the waves, far across time and years, and returned to the war ten years ago.
Qin Qin closed his eyes and forced himself not to think about it.
He fell into a deep sleep, his consciousness gradually blurring, and then gradually waking up.
Qin Qin woke up and found himself on the battlefield between the Yu tribe and the Miao tribe.
Ten years ago, there was a war between the Yu tribe and the Miao people, with mourning all over the land and blood flowing everywhere. It was the largest war the Yu tribe had experienced in its history. In this war, the Yu Clan lost its powerful protector—Gu Nan, the late emperor of the Yu Clan. Gu Nan is also Gu Ming's father. He is the first founding emperor of the Yu Clan. He led his predecessors to create this powerful Yu Clan empire, established a barrier against foreigners, and protected the Yu Clan's growth in troubled times. He is the god and belief of the Yu Clan.
Gu Nan is the god of the Yu Clan. No one knows that he is also Qin Qin’s mother’s young man.
Gu Nan had a total of three children in his life, and if Qin Qin was included, there would be a total of four. Among them, Gu Beilin's mother, Gu An, was a sibling of the current Feather Emperor Gu Ming. Gu Jian was the daughter of Gu Nan, who had a drunken relationship with a palace maid from a humble background.
In that battle, the Yu Emperor Gu Nan died in battle, Qin Qin's mother Queen Yu died in love, the eldest princess Gu An defended the city and died at the gate of Jiuzhong City, and Gu Ming guarded the North Forest, and there was no news. Qin Qin, who was only fifteen years old, had his eyes covered with blood. The moment he broke out of the siege, he saw Gu An falling in front of him with several arrows in his body. His always gentle face was covered with blood, and he looked ferocious and terrifying. Gu An grabbed his hand and pointed at Gu Beilin, who was hidden in the cellar in Jiuchong City. The strong and gentle woman who had lived her whole life asked him in tears, asking him to take care of the six-year-old child in this disaster. , I want him to live well, and I want him to protect this territory he fought for with his life.
If separation between life and death is hell, then when Qin Qin returned to the palace, he no longer knew what to use to describe the scene in front of him.
In the center of the main palace, his mother's body hung quietly.
Qin Qin still remembers the feeling of heartache and despair, like blood wrapped in poison and filled with despair.
In just one day, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and the sun and moon lost all light.
He was crying and laughing, his veins popping out on his skin, and blood oozing from his scarlet eyes. The palace people were running around, and the sound of weapons fighting or things breaking could be heard everywhere. In the noisy world, the sun and moon blurred colors, and the sky and earth blurred sin.
His surname is not Gu, and he does not have the blood of Gu in his body. When he comes here, he has the identity and status of a person with a foreign surname. No one thinks highly of him, and no one welcomes him. He relied on himself step by step to get to where he is today. Except for the eldest princess Gu An, who treats him well, he doesn't owe anyone here anything.
But the life, death and ties here took away his only mother.
The blood of the Miao people stained Qin Qin's clothes. The war and chaos continued, but the world was extremely silent.
Qin Qin didn't know what kind of expression and movements he used to put down his mother's body, and what kind of mentality he had when he found the unconscious Gu Beilin in the cellar and placed it next to him.
He lost his closest relative today, but he couldn't even express his grief.
He is the young general of the Yu Clan. The Yu Emperor is dead, the Queen is dead, the eldest princess is dead, and there is no news from the prince guarding the North Forest. He is the only backbone here. He cannot fall. Even if he crawls today, he has to Climb to the city gate and defend the city.
The Yu tribe suffered heavy casualties, killing all the invading Miao people at the cost of blood, and trading their lives for health. However, Qin Qin did not expect that the real bloodshed and extreme sorrow would never be dying on the battlefield to protect his family and country, but being stabbed by one of his own people.
Qin Qin dragged his extremely tired body to settle the soldiers. The moment the city gate that was riddled with holes just closed, it was knocked open by a strong force from the outside.
Atop his tall horse, the gloomy Gu Jian led his army to surround Jiuchong City with a ferocious look on his face.
Qin Qin knew that Gu Jian surrounded Jiuchong City not to kill him. In Gu Jian's eyes, he had always been just a little bastard from the human race, and he didn't take him seriously at all. The person Gu Jian wanted to kill was Gu Beilin, who wanted the throne.
Qin Qin looked at the gloomy face and smiled sarcastically and crazily: "Rat, you should stay in the garbage dump. You can contain this city today, but you can't contain your years of darkness and despicability. It doesn’t matter if you go to the elegant hall, the light of heaven is Lingchi who is the most fearless in the mud.”
Gu Jian glanced at the feather soldiers behind Qin Qin, squinted his eyes, and shouted: "You noble men of the Yu clan are the owners of the wings of the gods. You hold the spear in your hands and carry the wings on your back to serve as a substitute for the mere human race. Dogs and horses? You have the blood of the Yu clan flowing in your body, so are you willing to succumb to the alien clan? If you are not from my clan, your heart must be different! See clearly, who is your own and who is the orthodox!"
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
Qin Qin no longer knows how many times he has heard these words. It seems that ever since he left the country that nominally belongs to him, his ears have been filled with such words without interruption.
Blood was dripping down together with sweat, and Qin Qin had a slight ringing in his ears. He pinched his own flesh with his palms, using the severe pain to stay awake. It has always been like this. No matter what he does, he can't belong here. He has always existed alone as a foreigner.
But even though this place is not his home, it still gives him a place to stay. Qin Qin didn't think this was a place where dogs barked.
Looking at Gu Jian, Qin Qin sneered. The blood solidified into black, and new blood rushed out, flowing down his cheeks, leaving an attractive mark in the darkness. He said: "Gu Jian? Orthodox? ? Hahaha... Are you orthodox? Let me tell you, even if the Yu clan royal family dies, it will not be your turn to say the word orthodox here! You are not clear about your identity, let me tell you. Listen clearly, Badi Da Carrying the wife in a sedan chair and welcoming the concubine with cool wine! Since ancient times, the throne has not been established by direct descendants. Even if Emperor Yu has not had time to issue the edict of passing the throne, it is not your turn to dream of this throne. "
The blood all over Gu Jian's body rolled and heated from the frost, like an ugly and painful scar that had been opened repeatedly. He raised his spear and pointed it at Qin Qin: "The aliens are brave! I am..."
Qin Qin interrupted him, feeling the Yu soldiers behind him about to move, and raised his voice: "Besides, His Majesty the Emperor Yu personally appointed the prince and he is still alive! The prince guarded the North Forest and killed all the Miao people there. Not an inch of territory was lost. He is the emperor we should regard as our master. The fire messenger bird reported that I have received the order from His Highness. Your Highness has taken the northern territory and returned it to the military fortress. He will return with the head of the son of the Miao leader. We will arrive at Jiuchong City in a day. Before that, I will guard the city gate and never retreat, and will never let anyone approach Yu Palace with wolfish ambitions."
No matter how sharp the army is, it is the name of the army that protects the body. If we were in the country of Qin Qin, this would be an ironclad principle. The emperor was still alive, and there was no reason for the prince to make important decisions. The prince was still alive, and no other vassal king had the right to take the throne.
The royal family is orthodox, and the position of emperor must obey the laws of nature and obey the people's hearts.
In Qin Qin's philosophy, it should be like this, and there is no reason to violate it, so even if he was at the end of his rope and his blood was flowing out, his back was still straight, without giving in or fearing at all.
But he saw ridicule on Gu Jian's face.
Gu Jian's soldiers marched straight in, half of the Yu soldiers were blocking, and half of the Yu soldiers were watching coldly.
Qin Qin suddenly realized that the young man's extremely cold body was holding the spear tightly.
This is Yulu, a foreign race, and there are no rules and regulations that he is familiar with.
Here, the strong are respected.
Whoever has the ability to sit in that position, who has the strength to withstand thousands of troops, is the emperor.
Gu Jian put his long knife on Qin Qin's neck and looked at him coldly: "What you said does not work here. Force is the absolute orthodoxy. I have no obligation to give up the throne. The name of concubine has always restricted the pedantic people. No one can measure my life, and no one can hinder my way forward. I do not believe in fate, let alone obey it. Those who stand in my way will die, and those who oppose me will perish. !”
Gu Jian pointed to Yu Gong again: "The owner of that position is a capable person in the world. Such bullshit bloodline and bullshit destiny are all nonsense! I am here today and can be proud of all the heroes. It should be mine."
The Yu soldiers who resisted were about to be killed. They were all Gu Ming's cronies.
Blood flowed to Qin Qin's feet, burning his bones like fire. He shook his neck in response to the restraint of the feather soldiers, not caring that the blade cut his skin: "A capable person? A turtle hiding when his own country is in danger? A plunderer after the war?" The prince was guarding the North Forest through a bloody battle. Tell me what you did? Emperor Yu went into battle with his sword to protect the country. Tell me where you were at that time? You deserve to be called a capable man. Look up and ask God. , does he admit it?!"
Gu Jian kicked him down and said, "I don't need to be recognized by God! He has made fun of me for the first half of my life, does he still have the right to dictate the future?" A false smile appeared on his face: "Qin Qin, what does our brotherly quarrel have to do with you, an outsider? You are so dedicated to Gu Ming. If he ascends the throne, do you really think he will keep you? When Gu Nan was alive, he lived in harmony with you, but it was just After all these facial expressions, in his heart, he dislikes you as much as I do, because you should not be here in the first place. I have Gu Nan’s blood flowing in my body, and I am the prince, but what about you, why do you? Why do you have everything here?”
