"No!" Shan Qiang endured the severe pain, his face was covered with blood, and he glared at Shan Da fiercely, "How dare you... dare to say... you..." He managed to take a breath, "You... cough cough cough ...cough cough cough...that's not...my brother!"
"Brother!" Shanda's face was filled with tears, "Don't be like this, we can't hold on any longer, it's not worth it!"
"Whether it's worth it...cough cough cough!" Shanqiang coughed twice, "It's not you who has the final say!"
"Brother!" Shanda looked at his brother constantly vomiting blood, and looked at Hei Lu'er with tears in his eyes, and then at Ah Piao, "Please, please save my brother! If he continues , I really can’t hold on any longer.”
"Mr. Xiaoshan, it's not that we don't want to save him, it's that your elder brother doesn't want us to save him."
"No! No! No!" Shanda shook his head crazily, "Please, don't care what he thinks, you..."
"Hey, we just agreed, this is Brother's Game. If you answer our questions honestly, we won't do anything to you." Ishibu raised his eyebrows, "You plead for your brother, you want What can we get in exchange for letting him go?"
"That's right." Hei Lu'er spread his hands, "Besides, you can look at his attitude and his reaction to us. It's clear that he wants to be loyal to your master and has no intention of following us. Tell the truth. And, he..." He glanced at Shan Qiang, "It's obvious that not only does he want to be loyal, he also wants to pull you along!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's hard to see such a stupid person in this life. It's obvious that he can't protect himself, but..." Ah Rou snorted twice, showing a sneer, "Still trying to be brave, trying to do something for someone I don't know. It’s so… extremely stupid for people to cover up!”
"Brother!"
"Brother! Don't..." Shan Qiang endured this attack and became very weak and frail, but his attitude was still very tough, "They... that's all they can do, don't go to them." Right."
"Mr. Dashan, I have something to say to you."
"you……"
"Mr. Dashan, if you don't want to hear it, I have to say it. Although you are Mr. Xiaoshan's brother, it's your business to be loyal. You shouldn't drag your brother along, and you can't ruin his life. At least for you Before you want to pull him to perish together, you need to ask him if he is willing to be with you, and ask him if he is willing to die with you, or is he willing to live?"
"He...he is my brother, naturally..."
"Of course I want to be with you?" Ah Piao sighed softly and shook her head in disapproval, "This is not a matter of course. You are not qualified or have the power. I also have a sister, but I don't know how to do it. It is easy to make decisions for her, especially in such a matter of life and death. Mr. Dashan, your brother is a living person, not your accessory."
"You and I……"
"Brother, I agree with this gentleman's statement. I don't want to continue to work for them, nor do I want to be loyal to them, nor do I want to lose my life for people like them."
"Confused!"
"Brother, you are the one who is really confused!" Shanda nodded slightly towards Ah Piao, "You are right. Although we are brothers, my thoughts are not my thoughts. If it weren't for the fact that my brother has been suppressing me, I quit doing this a long time ago!" Seeing Shan Qiang glaring at him fiercely, he sighed softly, "Brother, I know people should repay kindness. We two brothers, including the one who came with us this time. Brothers, we are all alive because of our master, but the things we have done over the years have already repaid all our debts, right?"
"The grace of procreation, isn't it..."
"Brother, you just won't cry until you see the coffin! Why bother holding on like this?" Shanda shook his head, "I've told you before, as far as the master is concerned, we are already useless. It’s useless. It’s because of the loser that he was sent to carry out this mission, isn’t it?”
"A loser?" Hei Lu'er raised an eyebrow, "Why are you so sure that you have been abandoned? Are you so unsure of yourself?"
"My lord, you have already said this. Why don't you say it clearly? My eldest brother doesn't want to say it. I don't have as many thoughts as he does, and I don't have as much burden in his heart. I can say anything. "
"Okay!" Ah Piao nodded and helped His Highness sit down again, "Let's start from the first question, where are you from and where are you from."
"A native of Yiqing Prefecture in the Kingdom of Jin."
"A native of Yiqing Prefecture?" Ah Piao and His Highness looked at each other, "Then how come...where is Yiqing Prefecture?"
"It's not the city of Yiqing Prefecture, but a village around a small county and town under Yiqing Prefecture. It's actually not very eye-catching, has no characteristics, and the population is not very large."
"Then why do you speak Japanese language? Do you look like people there?"
"Because we were picked up by them when we were just born." Shanda smiled bitterly, "Our two brothers are twenty-six years old this year. In the year we were born, our village suffered a great disaster. Except for our two brothers and the brothers who were arrested this time, everyone in our village died."
"In this case, can I understand that the entire village is filled with children of similar age?"
"Yes!" Shanda nodded, "We are all about the same age and grew up together."
"Understood!" His Highness frowned slightly, "What happened twenty-six years ago? What kind of thing was it?"
She raised her head to look at Ah Piao, and found that he had the same confused look on her face. Considering that they were not born yet, she really didn't know what was happening in the villages and towns around Yiqing Prefecture. They wanted to find someone older than them. Although Hei Lu'er was from Yiqing Prefecture, he didn't grow up here. He could only look at Ishibu and Wu Shudan, hoping that they could answer their questions.
"Twenty-six years ago..." Ishibu looked at Wushu Dan, "I heard that a village was targeted by horse bandits. Earlier, bandits sneaked into the village in disguise and cooperated inside and outside. Not only did they loot the village, but also any No one was left alive. By the time the people in charge of the Yamen received the news, it was already after dawn, and the village had long been burned to the ground. Later, after investigation, it was found..." He paused, looked at Shanda, and then looked at Shan Qiang, "I discovered that the horse bandits did not leave any traces. They..."
"Who are they?"
"You should have guessed it." Ishibu sighed quietly, "The murderer is the group of Japanese who adopted you!"
