Liu Yu glanced at Murong Lan and saw her frowning and saying nothing. In front of him, this stubborn girl always had to argue with him on the right and wrong in order to maintain the dignity of her clan. But in these families In front of a child who had been destitute, the kindness in her nature made it impossible for her to make any excuse for the atrocities committed by her family's army against her will.
Liu Yu looked at Wang Rui and said: "Although the Yan army is violent, they will not cause trouble here for a long time. They have left and will not come back for a long time."
Wang Yi said bitterly: "In addition to the Xianbei people in the Yan army, the Dingling people are even worse. They looted everywhere, massacred villages and set fire to them. All the villages in this area were robbed by these bandits."
Wang Rui sighed: "But the nature of the Ding Ling people is like this. They are born robbers. In the past, when they were in the Qin State, they would often dress up as robbers to rob under the pressure of King Fu Tian, not to mention they are lawless now. But, this time Likewise, they did these things under Murong Chui's military orders, Zhongde (Wang Yi's name), have you forgotten, we heard this with our own ears."
Liu Zhong's eyes sparkled with tears: "So, the one who killed my parents was this Murong Chui's order?"
Liu Yu frowned: "It may not be that he gave the order directly. You have also joined the army. You should know that sometimes there are people in the army who falsely pass military orders. Murong Chui, Murong Chui is not the kind of cruel and violent person. , probably, probably wouldn’t give such an order.”
Liu Yu wanted to excuse Murong Lan, but after talking about it, he didn't know how to continue. He is not a good liar. When he talks about it, his expression becomes unnatural.
The more Liu Zhong talked, the sadder he became, but he did not cry like an ordinary child. His hands clenched his fists tightly, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. At this time, this child who was less than ten years old showed signs of Tenacity and maturity far beyond his years. Perhaps, seeing the tragedy of his parents dying in front of him, and witnessing these horrific scenes along the way, this young man has matured a long time ago.
Liu Yu sighed and said: "Okay, that's it. It's useless to talk more. Brothers Wang, are your homes in the city? Then go and see if your parents are still there. If it's convenient, call some villagers out. , let’s bury these corpses first.”
Wang Rui shook his head: "Uncle Abbas, we have lost our parents since we were young. We, brothers, grew up relying on each other. Therefore, Fu Jian originally recruited one out of ten soldiers, so we only need to go to one of them, but I can rest assured." Bu Xia Zhongde is alone in the city, so I took him with me. Fortunately, otherwise our brothers might have been separated by yin and yang."
Having said this, Wang Rui looked at the city wall, his eyes suddenly filled with tears: "I saw, Li Qiliu and Liang Gengzi, they are all our friends, I didn't expect that now their heads are hanging on the city wall! "
Murong Lan didn't speak for a long time. She looked at the tears on the faces of the Wang brothers and sighed softly: "Little brother, I, I am also from Xianbei. I, I deeply feel sorry for the hurt and pain caused to you by the Yan army. Apologize."
As he spoke, he solemnly pressed his hand on his chest, bowed deeply to the Wang brothers, bowed again, and bowed again, three times in a row, before he straightened up, and there were tears in her eyes. Twinkle, in order to prevent others from seeing the tears falling, he immediately turned around, but still let Liu Yu see the teardrop slipping from the corner of her eye.
Wang Rui said in surprise: "Uncle Temujin, you, you are not Murong Chui, nor are you the Yan army who massacred our friends, why do you want to apologize to us?"
Liu Yu looked at Wang Rui and forced a smile: "Uncle Temujin is kind-hearted. He also saw that this war has caused such suffering to you children, and he can't bear it. After all, he is also a Xianbei, so , I have to apologize in front of these dead souls, I hope this will make you feel a little better."
Wang Yi nodded: "Thank you, uncles. We are going into the city now. I think if they see us coming back, there should be many neighbors who will follow us out as long as they are still alive."
Wang Yi and Wang Rui looked at each other and ran into the city quickly. Their voices began to ring in the streets and alleys of the city: "The Wang brothers from Pinghufang in the east of the city are back. Are any of the old and young men still there? Come out." Say yes!"
Gradually, as the words echoed, the two brothers even found a gong from nowhere. Liu Zhong held it in his hand and struck it vigorously. Even Liu Yu, who was outside the moat outside the city, He and Murong Lan could both hear it clearly.
Murong Lan's head was always lowered. Ever since the three children came to the city, she had not said a word or spoken. Liu Yu was also standing with his arms folded. The two stood strangely facing each other. After a long time, Murong Lan raised her head. , seeing that there were no tears in Liu Yu's eyes, she said softly: "Thank you, Liu Yu, for smoothing things over for me in front of the child."
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, in front of these poor children, the set of domineering techniques you just mentioned are meaningless. After all, the children are innocent. As soldiers, we should To eradicate violence and bring peace to the people, we need to create a peaceful world for these children and civilians. I am afraid that the people’s will will never be in favor of your Yan army here."
Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "Let's not talk about this matter. What I want to ask you is, what are you going to do next? If someone comes out of the city, will you organize them to defend the city or flee? Also, these three children , you don’t plan to take them to Chang’an.”
Liu Yu's expression was calm and he looked at Murong Lan: "What's the matter? My Captain Murong, wasn't he just a bunch of cold-blooded and hard-hearted people who believed that kindness should not lead the army? Didn't he treat the people as useless and abandon them? How do you do it? Why do you feel soft-hearted after seeing three children? You ask me this, are you ready to take them away? "
Murong Lan stamped her feet angrily: "Just be angry with me. Okay, I admit, I'm soft-hearted. Because, when I was training my eldest brother to be a killer, I saw many children like this with me. We trained, ate and lived together, but in the end they disappeared one by one. I don’t even know their ending, but the pain of separation will never be forgotten in my life. Liu Yu, these children are so pitiful, we can’t throw them away. Get rid of them."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "It's precisely because they are so pitiful that we can't let them follow. Xingyang is already like this. Luoyang and even Chang'an ahead will only be more dangerous. We can't even guarantee our own survival, so how can we care?" Can you win them? The right choice is to let them take the surviving people in the city to flee to Pengcheng!"
