Nongmen Space: After saving the villain, I was trapped

Chapter 18 The "Truth" That Distresses

Yu Qingning just stared at Jing He in a daze until he finished the whole bowl of porridge.

She smiled and put the bowl aside, but suddenly fell silent.

Jing He was a little confused, but he had a premonition of something in his heart.

His pair of sparkling and deep peach blossom eyes just looked at Yu Qingning like this, and slowly lowered down after touching her eyes.

The room suddenly fell silent.

It's just that there is a depressing and stormy atmosphere in the air, as if it wants to continue to lay down the people who are already in the boundless darkness into a deep and boundless hell.

A chuckle suddenly sounded in the room filled with silence.

Yu Qingning subconsciously looked at Jing He, only to see that his eyes were lowered, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his laughter was deep and magnetic, pleasant to the ear, but filled with a bone-chilling coldness.

Yu Qingning suddenly didn't want to tell him the truth, but felt that those truths were too cruel for him.

He is not her. He has no relatives since he was a child, and his family relationship is weak. He can directly and fearlessly face the so-called "truths" that are devastating to him.

However, she only heard her cold and calm voice rang out from her ears, and then cruel words spewed out of her mouth as if uncontrollably.

"When I went to the town today, in the restaurant Tianxianglou, I heard some passers-by talking about it."

"I heard that a month ago, the men of Dingguo's mansion were wiped out on the battlefield, and none of them survived."

As soon as these words came out, Jing He's hands clenched the quilt tightly, with bulging veins on his hands, and his teeth clenched his lower lip, making the sound of teeth colliding.

The back that had always been straight was tense at this moment, like a fully drawn bow that was only one point away from breaking down completely.

Yu Qingning glanced at him with a calm expression, turning a blind eye to his reaction, and continued to ruthlessly tell everything in her clear and beautiful voice that seemed to come from hell at this time.

"I heard that the defeat of Nanliang this time was because Ding Guogong was greedy for meritorious service, refused to listen to dissuasion, even colluded with foreign enemies, and finally ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands of Shu family soldiers."

Jing He didn't know how he was feeling at the moment, he only knew that every inch of his body, every rib, was incomparably painful, like a thousand swords piercing his heart.

It hurts too much.

The blood in his body was bone-chillingly cold, so cold that his fingertips felt chilly.

The scene from a month ago echoed clearly in my mind again, and I couldn't forget it.

How could he forget?
How dare he forget?
Father, second uncle, third uncle, several cousins, and his concubine brother.

That face was still immature and full of vigor. He used to call him brother in a jumping voice. Before he set off for the expedition, he timidly said that he would be afraid. At that time, he told him that he would protect him.

But in the end he didn't protect him.

He is only 12 years old this year.

12 years old!
In his eyes was his father's blood-stained face, and in the blink of an eye he was beheaded alive by the enemy general.

in front of him.

And he was helpless.

He can't save him.

He learned martial arts from elementary school and learned to form troops, but in the end he couldn't save his relatives.

Several uncles were ambushed in other places and refused to surrender until their death.

Several of his cousins ​​tried their best to fight to the end, but because the reinforcements from the imperial court led by the third prince were delayed, and because there was no one to rescue them, they all died on the land of Liangcheng.

But he, because of the deputy general's life-and-death protection, was tightly protected by him, and he survived after staying in the bones for two days and two nights.

There were rivers of blood and many bones.

Their bones, on that piece of land, stink and rot, and are finally buried in the ground that has returned to normal.

No one remembers.

The blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Shu family's army stained the land of Liangcheng red.

In Liangcheng, there are hundreds of thousands more homeless ghosts.

There are countless relatives of soldiers, their parents, wives, and children, waiting for someone who will never come back.

Now, they are being framed and accused of treason.

If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to say!

"One month later, the news was sent back to Zhongzhou City, and Dingguo's mansion punished the family for treason, on the day the decree came down."

Jing He's gaze suddenly turned to Yu Qingning, and that gaze was as sharp as a blade, stabbing straight at her.

His eyes were scarlet, with disbelief in them.

Starting from Liangcheng, he went all the way to Zhongzhou City, and it could be said that he was in hiding.

Although he is already a dead person in the eyes of the world, for the sake of safety, most of the vassal princes in several states know him, so he chose the most remote route, and all the way he walked were poor mountains and steep mountains. , a sparsely populated place.

Even so, he suffered at least four or five waves of interceptions along the way.

Moreover, the secret guard who was responsible for protecting himself and other people in the mansion on the battlefield was also unknown, so he did not receive any news about Duke Dingguo's mansion in Zhongzhou City.

He originally thought that all the sons of Dingguo's mansion were buried in the battlefield. With the meritorious deeds of Dingguo's mansion for generations, and the relationship between his mother and that person, the person sitting in the highest position would at least have a little kindness. He will not attack the female relatives of Duke Dingguo's mansion.

However, Jing He felt that he was really stupid, naively stupid.

He had the heart to let his son deliberately slow down the marching speed, causing the reinforcements to miss the rescue time, and killing hundreds of thousands of Dazhou soldiers.

Even with the defeat of Dazhou and Nanliang as a result.

He had the heart to kill his companions and brothers from childhood to adulthood, and even committed the crime of treason that made him abused by the people and ruined his life's dedication.

He could bear not to care about the friendship between brother and sister, husband and wife, father and son, uncle and nephew, how could he let go of the female relatives of Duke Ding's mansion.

What's more, the identity of the Duke of Dingguo is an existence that he can't tolerate.

He was too stupid, too naive.

With Jinghe lowering his eyes, Yu Qingning could clearly feel the self-blame, regret, sadness, mourning and boundless despair in him.

Yu Qingning's voice stopped, but her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke next.

"On the day when the decree came down to confiscate the house, the female family members of Dingguogong's mansion committed suicide to prove their innocence, from the old lady of Dingguogong to all the wives."

After the whole truth was told, the air returned to dead silence again.

"Hehehe"

After a period of silence, Jing He's low smiles filled the room.

The seemingly low laughter made people feel extremely bleak for no reason, cold, gloomy, and full of ghosts.

This laughter contains irony, resentment, anger, and sadness.

Yu Qingning felt that she was also deeply trapped in Jing He's emotions, a little bit of anger and sadness arose, and she couldn't extricate herself.

Smiling and laughing, tears welled up in Jing He's eyes.

Huge drops of tears ran across Jing He's handsome face, dripped onto the quilt, and then disappeared without a trace, leaving only a wet shadow on the quilt.
