None of the three people spoke, and the atmosphere was surprisingly quiet.
During this process, all three people had calmed down.
Situ You no longer had the shocked expression just now, and the steady smile returned to his face.
Although Xunfan was not as calm as Situ You, he could control his emotions. Wu Zhan also seemed to have returned to calm.
Xun Fan first broke the current calm, "Back then, the Wu family betrayed the country, betrayed the royal family and exterminated the clan, and even destroyed the nine clans. It shocked the whole country, and the whole country resounded with voices protesting against the Wu family."
"In the hearts of the people, the prestige of the Wu family has surpassed that of the royal family. After all, it is the Wu family that protects people's lives and allows everyone to live and work in peace and contentment."
"But the power of the people is limited after all, and they were suppressed by the official force. As time goes by, the effect of that incident gradually fades, but people have not forgotten the contribution of the Wu family. Even now, many old people are still talking about it in private. Wu family."
"Thanks to the love of the people, my Wu family has not been completely forgotten until now. I am afraid that this is the only thing worthy of comfort for the ancestors of the Wu family." Wu Zhancan said with a smile and shook his head slightly, with a sad look on his face.
After a while, Wu Zhan looked at Xunfan and the two of them and said, "I wonder what you two think about my Wu family's treason?"
Situ You still smiled and said nothing. Xunfan slowly said: "The Wu family has been in control of the empire's military power for many generations. I have never heard of any deviance. If there is any deviance, given the prestige of the Wu family in the military for many generations, With the foundation, if you want to treason, I am afraid that even the royal family will have a hard time resisting it. From this point of view, regardless of what others think, I don’t believe it.”
"Thank you sir for your trust in our Wu family. Our Wu family has been loyal for generations, ever since the first ancestor of the Wu family conquered the country with the first emperor of the empire."
"Thanks to the emperor's love and trust, the military power was handed over to the Wu family. In order to thank the emperor for his trust, our ancestors established an ancestral motto: The sons of the Wu family should protect the eternal prosperity of the empire and protect the people's safe life."
"The descendants of the Wu family have kept in mind the ancestral precepts and dedicated themselves to the empire. While receiving supreme honors, countless people from the Wu family have died in battle."
"It is no exaggeration to say that there is no place in the empire where the blood of my son-in-law of the Wu family has been spilled, and that place is not protected by the loyal soul of my Wu family." At this point, Wu Zhan became a little excited again. No wonder he Excited.
It was such a family that was eventually exterminated.
After a slight pause, he continued: "The Wu family reached its peak during my father's generation. My father and the current emperor have an irreversible relationship and are brothers."
"And my father is also extremely capable, invincible in battles and invincible in all attacks. He has never lost a battle in his life. Not only does he hold the military power of the empire, but he is also named the King of Soldiers by the emperor. He can be said to be inferior to one man and superior to ten thousand people. "
"The Wu family has such glory, and the emperor and your father have such a good relationship, how could they be exterminated for treason in the end?" It was Situ You who spoke this time. It seemed that he was really confused. Xunfan also had the same question.
"Many strange things happened suddenly back then. I was only seven years old at the time. Although I didn't understand what those strange things meant, I completely remembered what happened at that time. Now that I think about it, among them Traps everywhere.”
"At that time, due to the intimidating power of my martial arts family, especially my father, there was no war in the empire for three years. It was truly a prosperous time when war stopped and the people were happy. But my father never relaxed and paid close attention to the situation in the empire. "
"Suddenly one day, secret reports came in from all over, and there were troop mobilizations in many parts of the empire. And these places where troops were mobilized were either important transportation hubs, important military towns, or military supplies storage bases."
"The mobilization of troops in these places is a sign that war is about to break out. My father quickly mobilized elite troops to garrison."
"But when the troops arrived, the mutation completely disappeared. But at the same time, the same situation occurred in other places, and my father increased troops everywhere."
"During that period, the army was mobilized frequently and the whole country was in a state of tension. Because the emperor gave my father full authority to handle the military affairs, and after my father responded, everything calmed down again, so my father did not report it to the emperor."
"At this moment, someone in the court wrote to my father. In such a peaceful and prosperous time, he secretly and frequently mobilized the army with the intention of stealing the country."
"On that day, the emperor issued an order that anyone in the empire who had a similar memorial would be killed without mercy. And the emperor came to my house that day. The two old brothers were very happy to see each other and drank and talked. No one said anything about this incident about the Wu family. thing."
"Before the emperor left, he told my father that even though everyone in the world said that the Wu family was rebellious, he firmly believed that there were also memorials in various regions."
"For a time, there was an endless stream of voices to impeach my father. My father admitted that he was innocent, but did not stop or clarify, and turned a blind eye. The voices of impeachment of the Wu family gradually turned into voices of crusade against the Wu family. The emperor came forward and resolutely denied the accusations of many officials. point of view. And issued a national decree that the Wu family is his brother. My father burst into tears with gratitude, and the whole family was moved by the emperor's trust."
Xunfan and Situ You listened carefully to Wu Zhan's story. Wu Zhan paused slightly and continued: "But just when the emperor returned to the palace, word came from the palace that the emperor was poisoned and fell into a coma."
"My father learned that, combined with the army mobilization in the previous stage, he thought that someone was going to harm the emperor and rebel against the country. Due to the sudden incident, there was no time to mobilize the army, so my father personally led the family elites to the palace."
"When I saw the emperor who was unconscious on the bed, he was suddenly surrounded by heavy soldiers. They claimed that my father failed to poison the emperor and entered the palace to assassinate the emperor in the name of visit."
"He also cursed my father with filthy words. My father was so angry that he killed several people who spoke evil words with a knife, and the palace was stained with blood."
"When the palace saw blood, the besiegers firmly claimed that my father was plotting rebellion and swarmed the palace."
"My father fought back in anger, and the palace was filled with blood in that battle. A total of more than 3,000 palace guards were killed, but more than 40 of the family's elites were almost completely lost. In the end, they were outnumbered and captured due to exhaustion."
"Not only that, while my father was fighting bloody battles in the palace, a large number of soldiers surrounded my Wu family. Since almost all the family elites were brought into the palace by my father, the family has lost the ability to resist.
More than 300 members of the family were imprisoned. The next day, his father was convicted of treason and attempted regicide, and the entire family was scheduled to be executed the next day. "
"When he heard the news, my father never believed that his own Wu family, a meritorious family that had protected the empire for seven generations, would be executed by the whole family."
"He was still worried about the unconscious emperor and his brother. But the next day our whole family was taken outside the palace gate to prepare for execution. My father finally knew that the Wu family would die, and that it would be annihilated."
"At that moment, my father made the last decision in his life. Facing the sea of people in front of him, he said, 'I know there are many brothers in the army among you. You are here to save me today. I give you my final order. , no one is allowed to do anything today."
"My Wu family has been loyal for generations and cannot afford to bear the charge of treason. Today I will use the lives of my whole family to wash away this unjust injustice."
"Brothers, I am here to thank you for coming to see me off today. Don't save me, don't let me be convicted of treason."
"After I die, return to your posts and perform your duties, complete my unfinished business for me, and protect my empire. I, Wu Zheng, ask you here.
"'At this point, my father faced the direction of the palace and shouted, 'My emperor, my eldest brother. My younger brother is leaving. I hope you recover soon. You and I will be brothers again in the next life. My loyalty to the Wu family can be learned from the sky and the hearts of the people. .’ After saying this, my father looked up to the sky and laughed.
In the midst of laughter, my father and everyone in the family passed away. There are three hundred and forty-three members of the Wu family, and no one except me is spared.
At that time, there were loud cries on the execution ground, and no one did not cry out for the Wu family.
Hidden in the crowd were a large number of people who came to rescue my father. As long as my father gave the order, it would not be difficult for my Wu family to leave even in a heavily guarded execution ground.
But it was my father who died to show his determination and preserve the name of the Wu family as a loyal hero. As a result, the rescuers were afraid to take action.
My father was only thirty-six years old, and my little sister was only four months and five days old. " At this point, Wu Zhan looked up to the sky and roared, his eyes were bleeding, veins popped out on his hands, his clothes and hair were not moving, and his heart was extremely sad and angry.
"My heart is like a knife, I only want to kill my enemies to appease the loyal soul of the Wu family who has been wronged!"
After enough time to have a cup of tea, Wu Zhan gradually recovered from his grief. No one said anything during this time.
"The general's family was beheaded, and how did you escape?" Situ You asked, which was also the question in Xunfan's mind.
"My father has two sons and one daughter. My second brother and I are twin brothers. I have been competitive since I was a child and love martial arts and warfare."
"The second brother has a cowardly character and a weak body. He has no knowledge of literature or martial arts and is extremely lazy. He is called a useless person by his father."
"On the night before the execution, the Prime Minister came to visit my father with a few people and a little boy. He persuaded my father to take refuge temporarily and come back after the emperor regained consciousness."
"But my father disagrees. The Prime Minister knows that if my father doesn't leave this time, he will definitely die. He wants to replace one of my brothers with his own grandson, so as to leave some blood for the Wu family."
"My father was moved by this reason and agreed to replace the second brother. My father's intention was that the second brother was weak in character and incapable of revenge, so that he could live an ordinary life in peace."
"When the Prime Minister came to the cell where our brothers and mother were detained, the second brother firmly disagreed. I still clearly remember the words of the second brother, 'I am a useless person, and the eldest brother must be a hero like my father when he grows up. The eldest brother Go out and avenge my Wu family in the future.'"
"Based on the special circumstances at that time, my mother agreed with the second brother's statement. So I was rescued. During the execution, I stood in the crowd and watched the heads of the whole family of 342 being chopped off by the sinful knife. , my heart has become a knife to kill the enemy, and I have only lived for revenge throughout my life."
