Chapter 884: Since ancient times, passion and hatred
Chapter 884 Since ancient times, passionate and free to hate
The boat sailed on the Xidao River, drifting with the tide.
The big river is surging, the water is muddy and red. Since Qin Lang called this river the Red River several times, the name has spread rapidly.
The Red River is very lively, and now it has become the busiest traffic artery between Jiaotong and Yunnan. After Tonghai Dudu’s Mansion gained a firm foothold, boats flocked on the river in an endless stream.
There are also many lively pier markets along the coast.
From a distance, you can see a brand-new castle or watchtower, beacon tower, or lighthouse. This is set up along the Red River route. It is designed to protect this traffic artery. Every military fort and watchtower will also become a new building. immigration point.
Going down the river, the boat was very stable. Qin Lang was on a large navy boat, and the boat was not bumpy. The breakfast on board was also very rich, and the fresh fish caught in the Red River was always indispensable.
Ah Cha practiced shooting on the deck.
The Chinese-style dresses that day had already been replaced, and Wuman’s clothes were put on again. The clothes are not as gorgeous as the Han-style clothes, but they are very slim.
A white wax rod and red tasseled spear danced like a dragon in her hand.
Qin Lang has gotten used to her presence now, at first she just took a small boat, but later the voyage was a bit boring, so Qin Lang also asked her to chat on the boat, just to see if he could see through the false and real purpose of their husband and wife, Unexpectedly, after chatting a few times, I found that this woman is really not easy.
She used to regard Cuan Guiwang as heaven, but today she collapsed.
She likes to dance with guns and practice arrows, and also likes to drink. She can drink very well, but she usually doesn't talk very much. Once she drinks, her mouth will start to chatter.
She will talk about some past events.
For example, the relationship between the Wuman tribes and the life in the Wumeng tribe. When she was a child, it was the time when the former Sui entered Yunnan, the Cuan family was in turmoil, and the Wuman tribes were caught in the middle of the turmoil. The tribes often went to plunder and fight. His father was a tribe A brave warrior in the village, and her mother is a famous beauty.
"My mother is a kind woman. Everyone in the village says that she is like a Bodhisattva. My mother never blames them loudly when servants and servants commit crimes. If someone is sick, my mother will also help to ask for medicine. , By the way, my mother is also a famous witch doctor. She knows many prescriptions and herbs, and can cure many diseases. She never refuses people who come to the doctor for rashes. , but most of the medical expenses owed are not paid, and she has never pursued them."
Speaking of this, there were tears in her eyes.
"Such a Bodhisattva-like person should live a long life, but later on, the Abang tribe who lived in the lower reaches of our Wumeng tribe, who was defeated many times by our tribe, but when my father accepted the Cuan clan's call to lead the tribe's warriors to go out, Shamelessly attacked our tribe, they broke down several of our villages, and when they broke down one of the villages, my mother happened to be treating a villager in that village..."
Ah Cha reeked of alcohol, his eyes blurred.
"My mother is such a kind person, but she ran into a group of shameless beasts..."
Qin Lang handed her a handkerchief.
"I was still young at that time, but I also understood a truth that women will not be spared in war, so I began to ask my father to teach me martial arts. When I was thirteen years old, I officially participated in the war against Apang with my father. During the raid during the war, on a rainy night, we touched their Dazhai, and killed crazily all night, that night, I killed three people..."
Qin Lang said calmly, "If there is no order, there will be chaos, and the people at the bottom will suffer in the end. This time, Datang wants to re-establish order in this land and end this chaotic situation."
Acha shook his head, "The Sui people also said the same thing back then, but the result was that the land of Yunnan became more and more turbulent and chaotic for decades. You always talk nicely, but you can't stay in your own Central Plains, why do you have to How about coming to Nanzhong?"
"If we don't come, you will not be safe. The coexistence of a hundred barbarians means constant fighting. You lack a force that can deter all ministries and make everyone sit down quietly, and Datang is this force."
Ah Cha was a little excited, "Lies are all lies. You are just doing it for the land, for the land, for the population, and for the wealth!"
Bang.
Ah Cha slapped the wine bowl on the table, already a little tipsy.
"I started killing people when I was thirteen, and now I am thirty-one years old. Over the years, I have killed more than a hundred people, one hundred and eight to be exact." Ribbon with stripes embroidered on it, very ordinary stitching.
"Every time I kill a person, I will embroider it on this afterwards."
Qin Lang smiled.
"You and I are not good people. You have killed hundreds of people. In fact, I am about the same. Of course, I killed more directly. I fought Turks, conquered Dangxiang, attacked Tuyuhun, and attacked Goguryeo. I also conquered Liuqiu Island Fan, fought Shanman and Xidongliao in the south of the Lingnan Mountains, and fought against the barbarians and barbarians in Chaoju Township. There were more than a hundred battles before and after, and more than 100,000 enemies died under our soldiers. There are hundreds of thousands of captives and slaves from the dead..."
Ah Cha stared at Qin Lang for a long time before letting out a mouthful of alcohol, "You look like a scholar on the surface, but you are the real ruthless person."
"Compassion does not command the soldiers. He who leads the soldiers is the general who controls the way of killing and attacking. Some things must be done by someone. I lead the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and protect the great man of the Tang Dynasty."
"When it comes to killing people, you are even better."
Qin Lang shook his head, "Although I killed a lot, I also killed people to save people. I conquered the Turks, suppressed the party, broke the Tuyuhun, attacked Goguryeo, conquered the Han, and challenged the barbarians. These are all fighting , end the turmoil in one place, rebuild a new order, restore peace, and avoid more chaos and killings."
"Everyone who kills says this, but how many of them can do it? You men actually enjoy the pleasure of killing and the power of conquest, right?"
"No, I actually hope for peace in the world, and I would rather be a dog of peace than a troubled person."
"It sounds good, can you really make us women put down our knives and guns, and don't have blood on our hands? You know that after I first started killing people, I haven't had a good night's sleep for several years. I always feel that those ghosts under the knife have been pestering me .”
"I am a respected female warrior in the tribe, a warrior who has completed a hundred people, but I just want to learn cooking and female red, so that my embroidery and weaving can be more skilled and beautiful, and I can spend more time with my children , to be able to take care of her husband more, instead of putting on armor, riding a horse, and killing other people with knives and guns."
Qin Lang looked at her, "From now on, you can put down your knives and guns. You don't have to kill people again in your life. I can send you to Chang'an and arrange for your son to study in the Imperial College. You can live in that million-person university in Chang'an." In the city, teach your son to read with peace of mind, enjoy the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and stay away from everything that makes you have nightmares!"
"What do I need to pay to enjoy this?" Ah Cha asked Qin Lang, "I'm not one of those little girls who haven't experienced much in the world. I've killed a hundred and eight people, so I know very well that this world is cruel and fair. You have to pay for what you get, and there are no benefits for nothing.”
"What do you want from me?"
Qin Lang looked at her, "If you must say that, then I hope to gain the friendship and respect from you and your mother's Wumeng tribe. In addition, during the time in Qilu Lake, you took care of the princess for me very carefully, and I also It can be regarded as a little thank you to you, is this answer satisfactory?"
Ah Cha looked at Qin Lang, as if she wanted to see through the man's true face under his serious appearance. She didn't believe such high-sounding words.
There is nothing good about a man. She once thought that Cuan Gui Wang was a good man, but it turned out that he was just a bad man.
"I know you promised to help Princess Linyi restore the country."
"I've also heard the story about you and Anon when you went south."
"There is also the Yang family of Langshan, and when you conquered Tuyuhun, you took in the twin daughters of Princess Tuyuhun and King Ming... So if you have the conditions, just tell me directly, don't hide it from me, I am a happy person, I don't like it Beat the bush around the bush. I think I'm pretty, and although I've killed many people, I have some scars and tattoos on my body, but you don't have a barbarian female warrior like me among your concubines, right?"
"Acha, you are drunk!"
"A person is intoxicated or not."
"If madam insists on thinking so, then I say Wumeng is enough?"
"You men will never be enough. I'm not a big girl anymore. Isn't that what it is? Women are born weak, but they also have natural advantages. I have fought many battles over the years and seen too many defeats." In the stockade, the fate of those women, whether they are married or unmarried, those who have given birth to children or not, as long as they are young, they are also a valuable commodity and may be sold into slavery. Or be rewarded to the soldiers. These women are very sad. They will be resold and traded like goods and livestock. In the end, they will continue to live with a strange man in a strange place and give birth to him. If they are unlucky, they may die. Captured again in a war, then sold to another stranger, and started another life..."
"Our barbarian women don't have the chastity concept of your Han people. Even if they change men, they still have to live. Men and sons are all our women. We don't have tribes. Which tribe does a man's son belong to? Which tribe..."
“Men conquer tribes, conquer women, but we have sons one after another, watch them grow up and conquer tribes…”
"Do you hate Cuan Guiwang?"
Ah Cha thought for a while, then shook his head.
"Don't hate, but don't love anymore either."
From then on, they are no longer lovers, but just strangers.
"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, or just now, let's make good things come true, save the general manager." Ah Cha said.
Qin Lang shook his head and smiled, the other party was rushing to throw himself into his arms, which made him more wary, although he heard too much of her drunken words, the more he felt that this woman was a bit pitiful and wanted to be pitied, but the more so , the more Qin Lang didn't dare to get hotheaded.
"You are not an ordinary woman, and I am not an ordinary man. Although you are no longer the wife of King Cuangui, you are still the daughter of the head of the Wumeng tribe. Although I, Qin Lang, am lustful, I am not a bully. Don't think about it any more, since you have left Yunnan, you can simply enjoy the scenery along the road with peace of mind, and when you arrive in Jiaozhou, I will arrange for you to board the boat to Chang'an."
Ah Cha was a little surprised.
Few men can reject a woman like this.
"It seems that Wei Gong really dislikes me. Forget it, I don't want to be difficult, but the barbarian girl I was divorced is now alone, and I have to protect myself as a barbarian concubine of Wei Gong. Wei Gong doesn't mind." Bar?"
