Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 65 Yin Changqin (3)

The snow in Tianshan always goes later than other places.

A long team was rushing in the heavy snow, and people stepped on the snow puddles deep and shallow, not shoe prints, but bloody footprints.

Because they are not worthy to wear shoes, they are sinners.Even their hands are handcuffed together by wooden shackles, wearing prison clothes, and their hair is disheveled. The soldiers in charge of escorting always raise their whips in the air, waiting to find the next prey.

"Cough! Cough cough..." Another sinner fell down.

The horseshoe stepped past without hesitation, because the soldier knew that he would never be able to stand up again, so he didn't intend to pull him up.

The long line continued to move forward, and no one felt pity for the dead, and even a little bit of sympathy for each other never appeared on these prisoners.Because the living are no luckier than the dead.

They will all be sent to the Shiling Mine at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains to mine spirit stones, and they will spend their whole lives to atone for their sins in the endless labor.

Among the group of exiled criminals, there was only one person who did not carry the wooden shackles on his back, but was restrained only by shackles.

Yin Changqin, the third son of the Yi Kingdom, was 25 years old at the time. Although he was the youngest and most powerful, he was haggard and lifeless, and his steps were staggering, but he was a little less angry than the people next to him.

This is because the injuries left by the Yunling battle have never recovered from him.It was also because he witnessed the massacre of the whole city, the annihilation of the whole army, and the shadow of failure completely destroyed this young man.

Finally, the team came to a small town named "Jianyue".

The elegant town name cannot conceal the dusty atmosphere in the town, and the people walking on the road are either miners or merchants who buy spirit stones.Now there are criminals and officers in gray prison clothes.

Those who live here have no hope, and those who still have hope come and leave in a hurry.

It's a lifeless town that revolves entirely around the mine.

However, today is different.

Because a beautiful woman appeared here.

She is not tall, with a slender figure, fair skin, and lion eyes.Looking at his face, he is majestic and dignified, and his demeanor is even more Fanglan Jing, wearing plain clothes with patterns and flowers, walking with a sword behind his back.

The residents of the town have only seen village girls and women. It was the first time they saw a person dressed as a cultivator coming to the town, and they all thought it was a fairy descending to earth.

Pedestrians put down their poles carrying stones, stared at women as they stroked their beards, young men took off their hats and put on headscarves, the tillers forgot to plow, and the hoeers forgot to hoe.

A few rich merchants with bright eyes went up to chat with the woman, but the woman ignored them and walked straight to the line of exiled prisoners.

At first the officers thought that the fairy must have come to find them, and they started joking with each other.

But when the woman approached, she approached the prisoners. The officer hurriedly got up and ordered the soldiers to stop the woman.

"Escort the repeat offender, stay away from idlers!" the soldier shouted.

But the woman didn't stop, she turned her hand and drew out her sword, which was as silvery as snow, and pointed directly at the guard's eyebrows!

"Get out of the way!" the woman shouted.

The onlookers were all shocked, and the soldiers hurriedly showed their weapons and surrounded the woman.

The woman was not afraid either, the blade of the sword made a clanging sound, and the sword wind was about to explode.

At this time, an officer stepped out from the crowd, stared carefully at the woman for a few times, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

"What's wrong?" the officer commanding the siege asked dissatisfied.

"She is the daughter of Qi Da Situ! Stop!"

"What!" The besieging officer paused for breath, and then shouted to the left and right: "Why are you standing still? You just let go of the things in your hands! Miss Qi, offended by this officer! Offended by this officer..."

"Get out of the way." Qi He'er repeated.

"Yes! Yes!" The officer turned his head to the left and right again: "It's all gone!"

The soldiers dispersed, but the passers-by watching were even more curious. Why did such an official lady appear in their small town?

Until Qi He'er walked up to a man.

The man's eyes gradually became clear from blankness, and then unbelievable, with tears in his eyes.

Qi He'er raised her neck towards the man and turned her back to everyone, so no one could see her expression.

Then, Qi He'er raised his sword again.

The soldiers panicked again, but before they could be stopped, Qi He'er shouted, holding the hilt of the sword upside down with both hands, and stabbing with the next sword, cutting the shackles under the man's feet in two!
"This..." Several officers looked at each other in blank dismay, but did not step forward after all.

The man in the dirty prison uniform was even more surprised. Then, Qi He'er tried his best to stretch out his hands, wrapped them around the back of the tall man's head, and pressed down again, so that the man's face was completely on his shoulders.

This caused the surrounding townspeople to drop their jaws in shock.The beautiful fairy and the down-and-out prisoner, the two impossible combinations twisted and embraced each other, and the only sound in the field was the man's low sobs.

Qi He'er hugged him a little tighter again, tears welling up in his eyes as well.In her eyes, the man in her arms will never be a prisoner, but the third son of Yi Guo, Yin Changqin.

"I will always be with you." Qi He'er said softly.

The man cried longer because of it.

When he was in Tianshui City, there was never an arm he could rely on.

In November of the 18th year of Zhenping, Yin Changqin knew that Yunling City was difficult to defend, and planned to take the people to the south.

Yi Guochang's son and later general Yin Changsheng sent a letter, urging Yin Changqin to take pity on the suffering of the people's migration, and to hold on to the city. He promised to defend the city for ten days, and he would raise his troops to support him.

Yin Changqin stayed on guard for fifteen days, but did not wait for his half-brother.

Enduring to see his brothers die and the whole city slaughtered, he fled for dozens of miles with this secret letter, and wanted to accuse Yin Changsheng of delaying the military situation in the court.

But what he didn't know was that after he escaped, Yin Changsheng soon attacked Yunling.When the barbarians attacked the city, they suffered a lot of losses, were not good at defending the city, and after all their looting, they abandoned the city and left. Yin Changsheng won the name of great victory.

The two won one and lost the other, and Chaotang voted overwhelmingly for Yin Changsheng's party.

Yin Changqin fled to the foot of Tianshui City exhausted, and what awaited him was the old army who had betrayed him.The secret letter was destroyed.

Even though he shouted loudly in the court, everyone impeached him as nonsense and shirked guilt.

In the end, the son's army was "poorly commanded and unfavorable in combat." Finally, he failed to seek justice for the brothers who died in battle, and only obtained "exile for three hundred miles".

So he was so desperate that he lost his heart, and walked the three hundred miles in a daze.

Until the moment he arrived at Jianyue Town, he finally cried out.

The cries were hoarse and unpleasant, echoing over and over in the dilapidated town, but no one interrupted.

It was the last snow in Zhenping at the turn of winter and spring in 19, the truth that no one in Yi Kingdom believed, and he cried to one person.

In February, what Qi Heer did in Jianyue Town was reported back to Tianshui. She not only refused to allow Yin Changqin to work in mining, but also built a mansion for Yin Changqin in the town and served him day and night.

Qi Situ's Mansion immediately declared that it would sever family ties with Qi He'er.As we all know, when Yin Changqin was successful, Qi Situ recommended him again and again, and when the news of the defeat came, Qi Situ's family was the first to join Yin Changsheng's family.

However, no follow-up punitive measures were announced for this matter, and the local military officers in Jianyue Town have also kept turning a blind eye to Yin Changqin's actions.Some people may still remember that Yin Changqin was once Yin Tianqi's favorite son.

In March of the 19th year of Zhenping, Yin Changqin suffered from the cold poison left by the war, and his legs were paralyzed.
