Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Xiao Beiheng fled Leshan, panicked and ran until he couldn't see the road clearly before stopping his mount.

Looking around, besides Lin Kui, there are several generals and more than [-] cavalry who are following him. They are all soldiers who have followed him since he led the Dingbei Army's westward expedition. They are all soldiers who are loyal to him .

He set off from the commanding army, although there were occasional setbacks, but he had never encountered such a big defeat, his mind was in a mess, he just wandered around on the black horse, not knowing where he was going next.

Lin Kui went to the front to explore the way back, and said to him: "Your Majesty, it's getting late and the field is cold. There is a village ahead, and our army can stop there temporarily."

Xiao Beiheng was distracted and had no idea, so he nodded in agreement.

The village Lin Kui refers to is Xuehe Village, which is located in Xiliang, northwest of Leshan County. The village has a population of 500 and more than [-] houses.

The village is cooking dinner, and every household is smoking.The defeated army ran for a whole day without any water or rice. They were tired and exhausted, and their eyes turned red when they smelled the smell of rice. They rushed in and took over the houses of the villagers.The soldiers ate in the house, and the horses were tied outside the door to eat grass and roots.

The village of Xuehe just learned that the emperor is coming here, and personally brought wine and food as offerings.

Now that Xiao Beiheng had a residence, his mood finally stabilized a lot, so he asked Lizheng what kind of place it was.

Li was an old man who was nearly sixty years old, and said: "Your Majesty, this village is called Xuehe Village. It is the fiefdom of Queen Mei Dai. It is located in the northwest of Leshan County. From here, go south on the main road, and you can walk straight to Zhangwu City."

Xiao Beiheng was stunned for a while after hearing this, and called Lin Kui over and whispered in his ear, "I wanted to go back to Zhongzhou, but I went in the wrong direction, and I'm almost at Zhangwu."

Lin Kui comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, eat the meal first, and then we can think about the next step before it's too late."

Xiao Beiheng was very hungry, so he ordered the sergeant to bring up the food and wine offered by Li Zheng.When the sergeant brought it up, he saw that there were three large porcelain bowls and a pot of rice on the painted tray. In the first bowl were three or four pieces of chicken, and the rest were potato pieces. In the second bowl was half a bowl of black rice. Humbly pickled vegetables, the last bowl is a bowl of egg drop soup so clear that you can see its silhouette, with two wilted green vegetables floating in it.

"What is this?" Xiao Beiheng slapped the table angrily, "You offer this kind of meal to the widow?"

Li Zheng was startled, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty. It's not that the grassroots are being contemptuous, it's because there really isn't anything in the village for Your Majesty to enjoy."

Xiao Beiheng said: "The size of this village is not small, how could it not even have some pork, beef and mutton?"

Li Zheng said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. This village was naturally rich before. If Your Majesty came at that time, it would be easy to kill pigs and sheep. Last year, Emperor Yongde's Second Prince's army came here and robbed the village. After sweeping away, most of our villagers had to flee to Zhangwu to live, and we have only been back for less than three months."

It was only then that Xiao Beiheng remembered that the second prince marched like locusts crossing the border, raiding all the villages along the way.Thinking that he and the second prince were still allies at that time, he couldn't say anything, so he could only retreat to Lizheng.

Su Mo served him a meal, and he devoured two bowls, and Lin Kui and Su Mo shared the rest of the meal.

After the meal, Xiao Beiheng and Lin Kui discussed what to do next, and Lin Kui suggested: "Your Majesty, we can't go west all the time. Now we should find a way to go back and join Anzhou Governor Su, who still has [-] troops."

Xiao Beiheng thought of his 10,000+ army being annihilated by Xiao Zhuo, and the shame of defeat welled up in his heart, and said angrily: "What can I do with those [-] people."

Lin Kui knew that he was angry, so he had no choice but to comfort him: "Your Majesty, you can send another decree to Governor Guo of Yuzhou, ordering him to speed up the army to join the Governor Su, then there will be an army of [-]."

"Guo Xinyuan, that old slippery man, swears allegiance to the widow, but stops in Zhongzhou and refuses to move forward..."

Xiao Beiheng was getting angry when there were faint cries and shouts outside the door.He thought there was an enemy attack, so he quickly stood up and held the Yan Que sword, and Su Mo who was in the room also ran out nervously and hugged his arm.

Lin Kui went out to have a look, and came back shortly after, saying, "Your Majesty, the villagers hid food and drink in the cellar, and the sergeant discovered it. During the dispute, the sergeant accidentally injured a child, and the mother of the child was crying."

Xiao Beiheng was furious, and said bitterly: "These unscrupulous people dare to deceive the widow."

He was about to walk out the door with his sword, when Su Mo took his arm and said, "Your Majesty, the villagers have suffered from the war, and hiding food is a helpless move. The sergeant accidentally injured the child, and it is our fault."

Xiao Beiheng ignored Su Mo, shook her shoulders and walked out of the yard.

Seeing Xiao Beiheng's rough actions, Su Mo knew something was wrong, and got up to chase out the door, but Lin Kui blocked the door, and said repeatedly: "Empress, don't go out."

Lin Kui blocked the door, Su Mo couldn't get out, and couldn't push and push, so she said angrily, "Lin Kui, how dare you stop me."

Lin Kui lowered his head and said, "Empress Empress, what's going on outside...you'd better not look at it."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a scream outside the house, like a man.Then there was another scream from a farther place, as if it was made by a woman, and it stopped after only half a cry.

After a pause, the whole village suddenly became chaotic. The sound of clashing swords and guns, the sound of people crying, and the sound of children crying all poured into the house from the door where Lin Kui lived.

Su Mo took a few steps back, trembling, raised her finger to the door, and said, "Bei Heng, he...is he killing people?"

Lin Kui was silent and just nodded.

Su Mo was pale and fell powerlessly to the ground.

After an unknown period of time, the noise outside gradually stopped.Xiao Beiheng's face was ashen, and he walked into the house with a sword in his hand.

Seeing Su Mo sitting on the ground with dull eyes, he stepped forward and pulled Su Mo's hand up and said, "What's wrong with you, can't you see it?"

Su Mo raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, they are all innocent people, why kill them?"

Xiao Beiheng snorted coldly, threw Su Mo's hand off, and said, "They committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, so what's wrong with killing them. Besides, if the widow's cavalry can't eat and drink enough, they will lose their morale. How can we protect you and me then? "

Su Mo didn't say anything, just sat slumped on the ground, watching Xiao Beiheng walk past her and went into the back room.

She remembered that Xiao Beiheng once massacred Beidi's village, and she also questioned him, and he gave many plausible reasons then as he does now.For example, that village supplies food and grass for the Beidi army. If they are kept, the Yan army will die more people.Also, as long as you can win battles, benevolence and righteousness are useless.

She finally understood that no matter how cruel things people do, they can always find plausible reasons.And her stupidity is that when Xiao Beiheng deceived her with these lies, she always chose to trust him and forgive him.

Now Xiao Beiheng is walking towards the abyss step by step, she can't hold her back, she can't persuade her, she can only be dragged forward by him.

She just sat on the ground like this until Lin Kui knelt in front of her and said, "Empress Empress, you'd better get up and rest."

Su Mo said, "Lin Kui, why didn't you stop him?"

Lin Kui was ashamed, and said: "Empress, Your Majesty is right... We have 5000 people, if we don't rob the villagers of the food hidden, our cavalry will have nothing to eat, and if we continue to starve, everyone will disperse. "

"So you're going to kill people, right?" Su Mo said sarcastically, "This is really the easiest solution."

Lin Kui was a little embarrassed, he avoided looking at Su Mo, and said, "The empress, the villagers are not willing to compromise... They are indeed bullying the king... We must first ensure that we can survive, sacrificing some innocent people It's inevitable. In fact, I also..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Mo interrupted him coldly:

"Don't talk about it, you and Beiheng are the same people. In your eyes, no one's life is worth caring about. As long as you can get what you want, you can kill everyone, and you can find a high-sounding reason .”

Lin Kui was reprimanded by Su Mo to the point of embarrassment.He is not a shameless person either, knowing that Xiao Beiheng killed a whole village just because the villagers bullied the king, this move is too cruel.

But after thinking about it, this village belongs to the Xiliang fiefdom, so they don't want to see the Dayan court in the first place, so it's fine to regard it as an enemy.Besides, if the army really doesn't eat, 5000 people will be hungry all night, and how will they fight if they encounter the enemy.

If the army dispersed, how could he, Lin Kui, protect his princess and princess, even if he had eight hands, it would be useless.

Thinking of these, he suddenly felt that although Xiao Beiheng's actions were cruel, he did the right thing.
