Hongyan Xiaoxuan.

Shi Liu looked out the window and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he slowly said: "This starts from thirty-six years ago..."

Qi Qige did not interrupt Shi Liu's words. She knew that Shi Liu would tell her a story next, a true story.

Her mother never told her about this matter.

Even before her death, her mother did not tell anything about the past.

"At that time, Thousand Machines City did not have the peace and prosperity it has today. It was very chaotic."

"Daqi, when the late Emperor was alive, he was ignorant and ignorant. He indulged in drinking and sex all day long and ignored the government. Here in Qianji City, the eunuchs and courtiers worked together to exploit the people. The people were miserable..."

"And because Qianji City is a place of hundreds of battles, every year soldiers and generals from the grasslands and Liao will take the opportunity to plunder."

"Where are Da Qi's soldiers? Didn't Qianji City have soldiers at that time?" Qiqige couldn't help but ask.

"The soldiers of Da Qi...are no better than those of Daliao and the grasslands."

Shi Liu sneered and said: "Da Liao and the grassland tribes came here to harvest grass and grain, to rob food and people, and also to kill people. Logically speaking, the soldiers and generals of Da Qi should protect the people, but in fact, they did not

They are killing good people and taking credit for their merits... Humph, massacring the people wantonly, even the entire village was killed by them, cutting off the heads of the people and pretending to be from Daliao..."

"What's ridiculous is that when the killings were at their peak that year, the headcount of the grassland tribes and Daliao soldiers was more than 10,000. Isn't this a big joke? You know, Daliao is close to Qianji City

There are only more than 30,000 border troops at the border. The most that can really fight is 10,000, and the other 20,000 are auxiliary troops..."

"If we really kill more than 10,000 Liao soldiers, the border of Daliao will collapse directly. Wouldn't Daliao send a large army to garrison here?"

"You can see how much water there is in these 10,000 heads."

Having said this, Shi Liu breathed a long sigh of relief and continued to look out the window, as if he was remembering and brewing.

"At that time, there was a small village outside Qianji City. That village was called Shijia Village."

Hearing this, Qi Qige's spirit perked up. As soon as he heard the name of this village, he knew that it was probably related to Shiliu.

This might solve a lot of mysteries.

"Shijia Village is a relatively large village in a radius of ten miles and eight villages. Because the three nearby villages merged to form a new village, it seems to have a lot of people."

"That day, a group of defeated soldiers entered the village. They were defeated soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield. They were deserters who had failed in the battle with the grassland people and Daliao soldiers. At that time, the village chief accepted them and hid them behind the scenes.

Mountain to prevent being found."

"After half a month, when the soldiers' injuries were better, they left. Before leaving, they said they wanted to repay Shijiacun..."

"No one knew about Shijia Village at that time. It was the beginning of a nightmare!"

Shi Liu's breathing was a little heavier, and his eyes flashed with malice.

"Half a year later, a team broke into the village. They covered their faces and burned, killed and looted the village. At that time, several children hid in the cellar and survived. They still remember that night, the fire was blazing into the sky and there were fire everywhere.

It was blood. When the children crawled out of the cellar, they saw that their father and mother were dead. There were corpses everywhere. Apart from them, there was no one left alive. Even the young children were not spared.

, and what’s even more terrifying is that, except for a few children, the heads of the corpses outside are all missing!”

Shi Liu's palms were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of evil spirits.

He said in a cold voice: "The few surviving children, led by the eldest brother, hid in the mountains. They depended on each other, hunted wild beasts in the mountains, and collected fruits to survive... A few years later, the eldest brother led everyone in

Thousand Machines City.”

"The eldest brother is very capable. He found a way to enter the yamen of Qianji City and became a petty official. Gradually he was able to check some secret files."

"At that time, he discovered that the people who killed the entire Shijia Village were not Daliao people or grassland tribes, but Daqi generals, led by the same group of deserters that the village took care of back then!"

"Do you think the cruelty of the human heart is more terrifying than that of tigers and wolves?" Shi Liu sneered.

Qi Qige has seen many bloody things over the years, but he was still shocked by what Shi Liu told him.

Who would have expected that the person he saved back then would in turn kill his benefactor.

"Why...why would they do this?"

In fact, Qiqige had a vague guess in her heart. She was so smart, how could she not guess it? However, those people were so cruel that she couldn't believe it.

"According to the case files that my eldest brother found, there may be two reasons. First, they wanted to rob the village of wealth. Shijia Village was very wealthy back then, and there was a reason why the three villages merged into one..."

"A small gold mine was discovered in the mountains behind Shijia Village. Although the amount was not large, it was enough to make the village rich. In order to prevent the news from leaking, the three nearby villages merged and hid the news.

, first mine it yourself and then talk about it.”

"That group of deserters didn't let them know about it after we took them in. Maybe they discovered it accidentally."

"They came back to kill people for gold. This should be one of the reasons."

"In addition, they cut off people's heads in order to get promoted and make money. This is killing a good person and taking credit for it."

Shi Liu said coldly.

"What happened next?" Qiqige asked.

"The eldest brother found those people back then. The leader had been promoted and was in command. If he was dragged down again, he would be promoted higher... Later, the eldest brother found an opportunity and assassinated that person... The eldest brother was also sentenced

The decision will be made immediately."

Speaking of this, Shi Liu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he did not tell the details, his style can imagine the thrilling scene that year.

How did the elder brother find the commander of the capital, and how did he assassinate him? Every step may have been very difficult. In the end, he actually killed that person. Even if he was caught later, it is unbelievable.

of.

"Has eldest brother been killed?"

Qi Qiqi clenched his fist nervously.

"No, the eldest brother... disappeared in the prison. From then on, no one saw him again. Later, it was the second brother who took other people to live, left Thousand Machines City, and went wandering outside..."

"One night, a group of people got involved in a night battle, and everyone got separated in the night. The sixth among them was caught by the prairie people, taken back as a trophy, and became a slave!"
