Wei Qingyan looked at Yan Lan.
Yan Lan's blood-stained hands were shaking uncontrollably, and she was stunned as if she had left her soul.
It was her first time killing someone.
And killed so many.
But are they human?
They are not human, they do many evil things, they are worse than animals... They... destroyed her!
The trembling hand was held, "Yan Lan, you used these hands to avenge yourself. In the future, these hands will protect you and live well."
future?
Yes, her life is still there, and there is still a future, which may be full of thorns or extremely difficult.
But compared to her relatives who died in the war, at least she is still alive.
In the face of life and death, what do those experiences and reputations count?
When she decided to go up the mountain without a veil, she was prepared to face all this. She should not be cowardly.
But when Wei Qingyan's hand gently patted her back, she couldn't help but hug her tightly, tears rolling down her face.
Jingzhe led other guards to the wine cellar, poured wine on the tables, chairs and corpses, and finally raised the torch in front of Yan Lan, "Burn this place."
Once it is burned clean, the past will no longer be forgotten.
Jingzhe was not good at words, but Yan Lan understood the comfort and encouragement in his eyes.
She wiped her tears, took the torch and lit several corpses on fire. She wanted to burn the shame and ugliness here.
Miss Chang and the others had no connection with her, but they accompanied her on this trip. She encountered misfortune and viciousness, but also encountered warmth and kindness.
These kindnesses are enough for her to rise from the ashes!
In the firelight, her back gradually straightened...
When the entire village was on fire, the group went down the mountain.
Arriving at the resting place, Wei Qingyan said to Yan Lan and the guards, "You go back first. I will catch up with you at noon tomorrow at the latest."
Shi Yu also said to Jingzhe, "You are with them."
Yan Lan also heard what Jingzhe just said and guessed that Wei Qingyan was going to kill the county magistrate.
She had already experienced firsthand Miss Chang's skills from the experience at the cottage, and her current physical and mental state would only be a drag, so she nodded.
Jingzhe did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to give the torch in his hand to Shi Yu and follow Yan Lan and the others to walk ahead.
I wasn't that worried. With the skills of the prince and General Wei, it was not difficult to sneak into the county government office and kill a small county magistrate.
As Jingzhe thought, Wei Qingyan and the other two easily stood in front of the bed of Yu County Magistrate Wu Xinyuan.
The coldness of the dagger awakened the sleeping man.
Wu Xinyuan's expression changed drastically, "Who are you, who dare to commit murder against me?"
Wei Qingyan said lightly, "The person who wants your life."
Then he tapped Wu Xinyuan's mute point with one hand, and stabbed Wu Xinyuan's thigh with a dagger in his other hand.
"As a parent official of Yu County, you collude with bandits, oppress the people, and do all kinds of evil. How do you want to die?"
Wu Xinyuan turned pale and shook his head desperately.
He doesn't want to die.
Wei Qingyan turned the dagger and opened his acupoint, "Why did Wu Yuchu transfer you to Yu County? What did you do for him?"
When she saw the bandits' obsession in the capital, she asked Du Xueyi to investigate Wu Xinyuan, the magistrate of the county where Hubaoling was located.
Upon investigation, he turned out to be transferred from Ganzhou two years ago.
All have the surname Wu, and they all come from Ganzhou.
In terms of time, Wu Yuchu was transferred back to the capital for half a year, and Wu Xinyuan was also transferred to Yu County, not far from the capital.
What a coincidence.
The dagger rotated in the flesh, and Wu Xinyuan wanted to cry out in pain, but the soft sword in Shi Yu's hand was placed on his neck.
He was panting heavily, and the dagger in his thigh kept moving, as if it wanted to mash his flesh into mud. He had to say, "I will do whatever you ask me to do. The main thing is to make money."
"Three years ago, what did you do for him? Think about it carefully. I don't have the patience, but Ling Chi, you only need a moment."
After saying that, he raised the hand holding the dagger, and Wu Xinyuan's left ear flew out. The pain made him instinctively open his mouth and scream, and Shi Yu's dumb point was fixed again.
Unable to express his emotions, the pain suddenly doubled, and Wu Xinyuan was sweating like rain from his forehead.
He suddenly thought of Wu Yuchu who was assassinated. Was he also killed by the person in front of him?
Realizing that the person in front of him would really kill him, he moved his mouth.
Shi Yu's soft sword tapped lightly, and the acupuncture points were released. After taking a few breaths, he said, "Three...three years ago, I was a county magistrate in Ganzhou. Your Excellency also asked me to secretly recruit a group of people to fill the gap." Act as a bandit and intercept passing merchants..."
"Think again." His right ear also flew out, and the dagger was inserted directly into Wu Xinyuan's lips, slicing the corners of his mouth.
Wei Qingyan looked gloomy.
Wu Yuchu was the Minister of the Ministry of War and had no shortage of people under his command. However, he transferred Wu Xinyuan to a place closer to him after half a year.
In addition to using him, it's more like keeping it under your nose for peace of mind.
During the time they were transferred out of Ganzhou, the major event that happened was the Battle of Huangshaling, and Yan Qing went to Ganzhou to transfer troops.
The dagger was pushed in little by little, Wu Xinyuan's eyes popped out of fear, and he truly felt death.
"Tell me, let me tell you...three years ago, your Excellency asked me to receive General Wei's guards. I...I was ordered to put medicine in their food."
The dagger did not move forward but did not move away. Wu Xinyuan understood that this was what the visitor wanted to hear.
He had no choice but to continue, "Those people were too alert and noticed it after taking one bite, but they were not prepared. I sprinkled powder on the door frame and window sill.
During the fight, our men shook the door frames and window sills, and the powder was blown into the air and inhaled, and they would also be hit..."
Wei Qingyan gritted his teeth and said, "Continue."
"Only...only...two escaped. We chased out of Ganzhou and killed one of them on the road. The other...the other one was...not found...
But he was seriously injured and probably wouldn't survive. Your Excellency was afraid of being discovered, so he asked us to return. Please forgive me, Sir. I'm all following orders. "
"Why kill them?"
Wu Xinyuan felt the murderous intent in Wei Qingyan's eyes, and his mind stirred, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty didn't tell me, but the hero spared my life. I will find out the reason for you. From now on, only the hero will follow you."
"Pfft..." The sound of a sword entering flesh.
The software in Shi Yu's hand stabbed into Wu Xinyuan's back and said coldly, "Why kill them?"
He had roughly guessed the reason from the conversation between the two.
While my heart was shocked, my anger rose.
Wu Xinyuan had already lost half of his life. He bet that if he said it, he might lose his life immediately. If he didn't say it, maybe his life would be saved for the time being and he would have a chance to live.
But he overestimated himself. He pulled out the soft sword, the sword light flashed, a heartbreaking pain hit his back, and a piece of flesh fell in front of him.
His flesh!
Just as he was about to faint, the dagger on his mouth began to exert force again. There were cuts on both sides of his mouth, and blood flowed out. Wu Xinyuan realized for the first time what life was worse than death. "My lord, if you don't want to mobilize troops, you can only wipe them out." Traces of coming to Ganzhou to mobilize troops..."
Of course Wei Qingyan knew the reason, but the answer she wanted was not this, so she used the dagger again.
"How did he know that someone would come to mobilize troops?" It was Shi Yu who asked.
