Xiao Tian of Great Tang southern wilderness is not extremely hot, like similarly called the duplicate day empress empress gentle, was comfortable to the feeling of person, to south, Ning Que very natural remembered brought Sansan to go to Lan Ke Temple that journey in the past, at that time was here, he has fallen in love with here.
He and Wang Jinglue is riding an ordinary carriage, when to blue canyon is unable to go forward again, two people abandon the car(riage) to walk, is seeking for the path in the Manshan quarry stone difficultly. Reinforcement health/guard institute of many Tang Military in the steep canyons, the royal government still do not have completely the plan that the blue canyon blocks, naturally is thinking in the future one day must regain Qinghe.
Goes out of the blue canyon, sees only in the wilderness the weed to live randomly, even if the mature farming has also abandoned, in the field can also see the brown old times bloodstain faintly, as if casual foot steps on, then can step on to bleed.
Ning Que as if saw last year late autumn, Senior Brother Senior Sister stood faces hundreds of thousands of armies here, as if saw Second Senior Brother to grasp the iron sword and world group bold war, thought that the pressure on shoulder was serious.
The weather was late, two people open-air rest in the wilderness before blue canyon, the summer night insect called to be gradually dense, understands Qingshan (azure mountain), expert night Yun Jian, the Ning Que full moon fondly remembers speechless.
The 2nd day early morning woke up, he and Wang Yinglve continued to south, saw with the old times not different, small bridge over the flowing stream as before, Bai Qianghei eave like yesterday, Fuchunjiang River bank everywhere famous garden, too beautiful to behold.
Yang Zhoucheng cannot see the trace of war, the blue stone street such as the laundering is excessively ordinary cleanly, where had once bloodstain, the stall keepers is calling the business with the gentle accent, in the restaurant often overflowed the unique fragrance of bad duck, if were not on the street among these well-equipped various army patrol is unceasing, is unable to imagine before the several months, in this city died that many people, has had that many murder cases.
Ning Que and Wang Jinglue arrive at the city to defend outside the palace back garden.
He looks that several clumps stretch out the dracena of fence, is silent, on these bamboos has the spot, looks like the bloodstain like the tear stains.
, ‚The same day city defends the palace to take the volume of armed forces West Ling temple allied armies to call Yang Zhoushu the level official to gather in Yu Residence as command’, then gets angry suddenly, requesting these officials to surrender, after being rejected, then starts to conquer by killing, total 13 royal government officials were killed, including three people are various within juniors. ”
Wang Jinglue looks at the city to defend the palace, said in a low voice: „Person who presides over this matter called Zhong Dajun, when was then the city to defend palace Si Bing, son who the Yangguan city defended.” various families invited the naval forces provincial commanders to discuss official business in the Fuchunjiang River, ambushed in secret, after one struggled hard, various naval forces provincial commanders and high-ranking officers died in battle, afterward had greatly on Ze the clean slaughter of naval forces, in the evening, Cui Clan arming captured procurator Qing He County forcefully the palace, the procurator commits suicide to perish. ”
Very simple several words, then rebel Qing He County the clarity that day big event said that in that bloody day, 3000 Great Tang naval forces officers or dies or the wound, more than 300 are loyal to the Great Tang royal government official to be beheaded miserably, just like Wang Jinglue formerly said that in these officials actually and many various families juniors, but they do not approve in the valve the opinion of elder, therefore also has become the sacrificial victim.
These blue stone streets in Yang Zhou City wash again clean, washes unable to see a bloodstain, does not smell a smell of blood, but these blood flowed eventually, infiltrates in the soil of blue crevice, cannot see not to smell, then has not existed, since has existed, then should be remembered.
Ning Que has not said anything, bringing Wang Jinglue to defend the palace to Kaesong, has not gone to the inn, but went out of town directly the Fuchunjiang River bank, has rented the boat covered with black matting with five two silver coin, went downstream.
The time that the war ended is not long, the Qing He County temporary tranquility, cannot make the people feel that relaxes truly, the tourist is very at least difficult to relax, therefore in the beautiful Fuchunjiang River the pleasure boat are not many.
Ning Que and Wang Jinglue sit by the boat covered with black matting, looks at Jiang Pan the view, vertical is the experienced two people, has to acknowledge, if discussed fine clear beautiful, in society did not have one to exceed again.
Boat covered with black matting swayingly, in river bank these gardens good, which place famous garden the boatman often explained to have what historical origin, under Wohushan that piece of dracena was the private property of which family, to these matters was familiar, Wang Jinglue did not have the mood to listen to these, Ning Que was actually listens unusual was earnest.
The Fuchunjiang River is extremely beautiful, regret is not long, boat covered with black matting line of slow, swung to swing to swing then to swing the downstream, came ashore to put on the forest, then arrived at the Qing He County Meishan.
Qing He County various families was known as that the poetry book treats the family, actually where can lack the military and economical strength support, this be continuous hundred li (0.5km) Meishan, is Clear Sky grants the various families buried treasure.
Ning Que and Wang Jinglue stand in the Meishan leaning out-of-the-way place, is looking into sound silent, sees only the various families steward to brandish the leather whip, these is naked the miner of body, dragging the coal car to crawl difficultly, the body full is the soot, in the soot mixes the bloody water that was being whipped, looks horrible to look.
The complexion that Wang Jinglue most starts was quite ugly, observed after some time, was slightly better, said: „Should the barbarian who catches from the virgin forest, West Ling round some crime slaves.”
Ning Que said: „Peace treaty, since achieves, so long as Qing He County various families not extremely arrogant as stupid as idiot that degree, should know, if also dares to be the hard labor our people sleepily here, waited for that their will be anything.”
In the fall of last year the Qing He County rebellion, 3000 Great Tang naval forces officers casualties were serious, Tang Military that has not died was detained Meishan of Fuchunjiang River downstream to be the hard labor completely. Great Tang and in peace treaty of West Ling temple signature, requesting Qing He County to return these Tang Military, is the most important condition, a while ago, these suffered Tang Military that suffered inhuman, was returned to Chang An, according to their views, that days was really extremely deeply grieved.
Ning Que this line comes to Meishan specially , because the Tang Country royal government thought the population of Qing He County restore has the issue, after the rebellion, was detained to Meishan makes the Tang Military at least more than 1000 people of hard labor, but this time returns to Chang An is also less than 600. The explanation that the Qing He County aspect gives is, many Tang Military are injured seriously in the fight, was detained after Meishan, although accepts diagnosing and treating unable to cure, like this died.
This is very reasonable explanation, but Ning Que does not believe. As the time passes slowly, Sun starts to the west, the hard labors in Meishan are still going all out to struggle, the coal pit that he to abandoning walks.
According to the information of dark bodyguard, when the mission of West Ling temple leaves Qinghe, after starting prepares and Tang Country negotiates, this coal pit becomes is then peaceful, nobody has gone again also.
Ning Que and Wang Jinglue enter the coal pit that place abandons following the gallery, extends to along with the gallery, the pit top becomes more and more short, has to arrive at the body, the motion also becomes difficultly.
Does not know how long, in the bottom coal pit the dark piece, the cold are piercing, the spooky wind concentrates the spoiled rest/breath flavor of that irritating the nose in one, is unable to release outward.
Ning Que stops the footsteps, puts out a hand to grip plain and simple blade, confirmed after the pit bottom does not have the danger, has lightened by a hole wall oil lamp. Wang Jinglue looks by the dim light, pit bottom that illuminates, the complexion becomes exceptionally pale.
The facial expression on Ning Que face does not have what change, his squatting down body, traces rotten remains with the hand the pin bone, confirmed that was broken by smashing with stone by the heavy item, then he walks toward inside, looks at these corpse injuries.
Bottom of the coal pit is piling at least several hundred corpses, these corpses have corrupted seriously, could not find any can indicate marking of status, these people but who he knows these seek for then from.
These people do not die of knife wound or arrow wound, but starved to death and dies of thirst, or is implicated while still alive dies, these people before death once were heroic Tang Military, once revolted certainly before suffering, therefore these whips will carry off the meat on bones of the dead, the pin bone will break off by the stone.
Ning Que and Wang Jinglue stand before these Tang Military corpses, silent long time.
Regarding the officers who fights bravely for the country, Great Tang throws with the highest respect throughout, even if remains not whatever will wander about destitute outside, let alone at that time was living Tang Military. From knowing the Great Tang naval forces has more than thousand people escorted to the Meishan service by Qing He County various families, the Great Tang royal government has not then stopped saving their efforts, even if enters Chang An such critical juncture in Monastery Lord, the royal government had still not forgotten that the outgoing message warned Qinghe, and pledged in secret can give the corresponding benefit, so long as they can put these people.
Believes that Qing He County various families after this, should very clear Chang An City manner, not dare many to suffer to these Tang Military again, however before then less than one month, these Tang Military then died in Meishan several hundred people, conceivable they withstood what kind of suffering and pain at that time.
Before Wang Jinglue, is consecration of own palace, is passing the natural pleasant day, afterward was escorted to General Xu Shi by your majesty the subordinates, for several years polished already is the genuine serviceman.
Looks at the pit bottom several hundred remains, said: „ Must think the means to send back them.
Ning Que joins the army for many years in Wei City, in clear armed forces convention, but did not agree that Wang Jinglue words, said: „Buries here does not have issue, but needs to repair place many big graves.”
Wang Jinglue understood his meaning, one day, the Great Tang cavalry will run out of the blue canyon in the future, sweeps away the the human world south, before Qing He County, will be, the future also inevitably is the Great Tang national territory.
Ning Que said: „I conquer by killing the Qinghe clubhouse in Chang An City, some people always thought that I start to be too ruthless, am worried to affect the Qinghe where the popular will inclines, if makes them see this picture, does not know that they can also insist from already the view, popular sentiment matter can take your time, the person but who died will urge that our footsteps are quicker.”
Wang Jinglue said: „The Qing He County common people have still tendency Great Tang, even if the various families juniors also has still poses as Tang people, when rebellion day, will not have that many various families juniors officials also dead for a just cause dead, was only worried, if kills are too many, can push to the opposite them.”
„When various families rebellion, these common people have not stood to indicate when their manner, more than 300 Great Tang officials were beheaded, they still silent look on, I do not know that actually their hearts turn toward where, I only know that they were once silent, that is an accomplice, truth that has.”
Ning Que said: „In my hand dyed many blood, how to wash again washes is unclean, in the hands of some people seems like does not have the cruentation, but they jump in the Fuchunjiang River not to wash cleanly.”
