Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

It is different from the spring atmosphere in the capital.

The weather in the border area is like the beginning of spring, with a chill in the wind.

In Lion Head City, white flags are hung on every household.

The children no longer chased and played, and the eyes of the people were filled with sadness.

General Liang, who brought them stability, died.

Recently, I am in mourning at the Heroic Soul Platform.

As soon as the emperor's decree reached Lion Head City, General Liang was granted the title of King of Xiliang, and his daughter was granted the title of Princess Rongshu.

General Fang Qingdai was promoted to two ranks in a row, and was given the title of General of the Escort Banner.

There are many seals, but it is difficult to conceal the grief.

In the Heroic Soul Platform, the soldiers took off their helmets and hats, stood in the courtyard, and lowered their heads facing the mourning hall.

Looking around, the sun is not warm, like a cold sword, and everyone's head is covered in darkness.

Xie Mingxu wore silver armor and walked into the mourning hall with heavy steps.

Amidst the sad and desolate cries, he walked towards a female general with her hair tied up.

"General Fang, please forgive me."

Fang Qingdai is nearly forty years old, with a heroic face, her eyebrows are curved like blades, and her skin, which is not stained by makeup or powder, is stained with a little bit of wind and dust from the frontier.

The daughter in her arms was sobbing and sobbing while holding her waist. Only Fang Qingdai had one red eye and did not shed tears for a long time.

Xie Mingxu said solemnly again: "It's the auspicious time for burial. The funeral has been suspended for seven days. Today, the emperor's decree has arrived. It's time for General Fang to let General Liang be laid to rest."

General Liang was originally from Lion's Head City. In his early years, he went to Beijing to participate in martial arts competitions. After receiving his official status, he invited himself back to Lion's Head City to garrison.

He dedicated his life to the land that gave birth to and raised him.

Fang Qingdai raised her head and looked at Xie Mingxu with red eyes.

"Mingxu," she would call her old friend's child this way in private: "Did the emperor say that he wanted to thoroughly investigate the details of the army?"

Her husband, General Liang, was killed by Xizuo!

After the army captured Bibo City, they divided three troops and went to rescue the common people and villagers who had been captured before.

Unexpectedly, the route of General Liang's team was carefully crafted and betrayed.

After the news was leaked, General Liang was ambushed, and the remnant soldiers of Changliu State aimed their poisoned bows and arrows at his heart.

The person who smiled and wanted to take Fang Qingdai and her daughter to enjoy the flowers when they left was already a cold corpse when he came back.

Fang Qingdai held the coffin and handed her daughter to the entourage behind her.

"I don't want to be buried, I want justice. What I want is not a posthumous title, but that Liang Shi can't die in vain!" she said sadly.

Xie Mingxu lowered his head in silence.

After a moment, he spoke: "The emperor has conducted a thorough investigation of the imperial court before and uncovered many spies. This time, something must have slipped through the net."

"The emperor's imperial edict did not clearly explain how to handle this matter, but I think the emperor will not let it go."

In fact, this battle was very uncomfortable for them.

Because there are always endless spies to catch, they hide in the dark and cooperate with Chang Liu inside and outside.

Not only could they know their marching route, but they even knew that the emperor asked them to capture Bibo City.

Fang Qingdai smiled bitterly.

She shook her head: "That means we have to wait again, but I know that there are many connections in the court, and it is not easy to catch the person behind it."

At this time, Fang Qingdai slowly walked to the coffin.

The man lying inside had already turned pale.

He was tall and unattractive, but he protected her and her daughter for eight years.

"Liang Shi, you can go with peace of mind. There is no need to worry about me and Yici. I will definitely find out the traitors in the court and one day take them to kowtow in front of your grave."

"After I finish these things, I'll settle down in Yici and come to guard your grave."

He protected her for half his life, and she protected him for the rest of his life.

After Fang Qingdai finished speaking, she wiped away the tears that were about to overflow and her expression became tough.

She raised her eyes and looked at the dark soldiers outside, her voice solemn.

"Close the coffin!"

Fang Qingdai gave an order, and the four soldiers worked together to slowly push the coffin lid shut.

"Dad, wuwu, daddy!" Fang Qingdai's daughter suddenly pushed away the entourage's hand.

She threw herself at the coffin, her eight-year-old face stained with tears.

Fang Qingdai's eyes were red: "Yici, let your father go in peace."

Liang Yici choked with sobs and held the edge of the coffin, reluctantly saying, "Let me take one last look at dad."

As she spoke, she took out a jade lock from her arms and threw it into the coffin.

This is the longevity lock she has worn since she was a child. Let it sleep underground with her father.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qingdai's expression suddenly changed when she saw the jade lock.

She quickly raised her eyes to look at Xie Mingxu.

Fortunately, Xie Mingxu was facing away from them, explaining matters to the soldiers carrying the coffin at the door, and did not notice the jade lock.

Fang Qingdai pulled Liang Yici, who was still crying, into her arms.

"Close the coffin."

A heavy muffled sound separated life and death from now on.

…

Summer July.

The scorching sun is baking the earth, and the heat wave is thick.

Fortunately, there are lush trees on both sides of the wild trail next to Xiangyun Village.

Many elderly villagers moved deck chairs and took cattail leaf fans to shade themselves under the trees.

As for this tree, Shen Ningning dragged it down from Langshan Mountain in spring.

After a cold disaster passed, most of the trees that could grow outside were cut down by people for fires and warmth.

However, only the areas around Langshan and Xiangyun Village are lush green and full of vitality.

Dong Sanhua from Xiangyun Village wore a straw hat and walked forward carrying a bucket of water.

She was born thin but very strong.

Because her previous house had been abandoned for a long time, her house was the only one in Xiangyun Village that did not have a well.

Uncle Deng once said that she would find someone to help her dig a well, but in the past few days, there has been no movement.

Dong Sanhua could only go to Granny Chen’s house to fetch water and then bring it back.

The sun was scorching above her head, her blue and white cloth was soaked with sweat, and the wind was whistling under her feet.

Sudden!

Dong Sanhua stepped on a raised stone and fell down.

"Ouch!" she screamed.

The buckets he was carrying rolled down the slope.

She held her ankle and gasped in pain.

Uncle Liu's house was nearby. He was chopping firewood in the yard when he heard a noise and opened the door. He saw that Dong Sanhua had fallen and was about to come over to help.

"Wait!" Sister-in-law Liu pulled him back from behind, closed the door, and stared at him: "What do you want to do?"

Uncle Liu was stunned: "Sanhua fell, I will help her."

Sister-in-law Liu was angry and hit him angrily: "Your attentiveness is needed. Deng Jixiang's eyes are glued to her. Even you are attracted by her, aren't you?"

Uncle Liu scolded in a muffled voice: "What nonsense are you talking about! We are all neighboring villagers, what's wrong with helping a bunch?"

"I don't care, you just can't go!" Sister-in-law Liu threw the corn basket into his arms: "You go to dry the corn, and I'll help her."

Then she went out.

Dong Sanhua had already supported herself on the ground and stood up limping step by step.

It looked like it was really painful.

Sister-in-law Liu stepped forward: "Oh! Sanhua, why are you so careless? Why are you carrying water alone? Where is Brother Deng? Why didn't he come to help you?"
