Chapter 51 Is it good to get married
When more than a dozen old people in the village gathered in the cave, it was completely dark. Qiu Yao lit a bonfire with the help of others, and everyone sat around the bonfire and talked.
"Miss Xie, this Qin people just attacked the city and haven't broken the city yet, but we have already hid here. Isn't it a little premature?" An elder said the questions in everyone's hearts, so the rest of the people around him also agreed to ask.
"It's not early. It's not that I grew the ambition to destroy my own prestige, but before, my million Chu soldiers were defeated by the Qin people when the morale was in full bloom, but now less than half of the million heroes, and the morale is even sluggish. After several months of recovery, the attack power of the Qin people is even worse. Therefore, the day of the siege is not far from the day of breaking the city, and the day of breaking the city is almost It's the disaster day for every people in Yingcheng. Previously, Bai Qi lagged behind the time of the slaughter city in order to give himself hope and despair. Now that he has broken through the city, the slaughter city must be the beginning of the moment. "It's too late to escape at that time."
After saying that, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. After a long time, a cry came from the side.
"Is there no chance to win... In this way, won't our children and grandchildren sacrifice in vain..."
Qiu Yao's heart tightened, "The war can be defeated, but people can't be defeated. Their blood will not be in vain. Although we lost to the Qin people today, as long as there is still a breath in the State of Chu, there must be a chance to rise again. What we need to do now is to protect ourselves, so that we can launch a counterattack on another day, and those lost children of the State of Chu, It is the greatest motivation for us to fight back.
Qiu Yao suddenly felt that she was so hypocritical and pretentious. She did not know the detailed process of the battle between Qin and Chu, but she understood that the State of Chu was still destroyed by Qin in the end, and she was still saying these empty words.
"But everyone only brought ten days of rations..."
"Ten days is enough." The speaker was Grandma Chen, who had been silent since a while. Qiu Yao turned her head in surprise, but saw her face covered with traces of time buried in the darkness behind the fire.
Everyone fell silent, and Qiu Yao said nothing more. She was right. Ten days is enough. Maybe it doesn't take ten days at all. The Qin people's butcher's knife will be stained with the blood of the people of Yingcheng.
The night was extremely long. The wind in the spring night was slightly cold, and the red color on the fire was extinguished. The old people around him fell asleep one after another, and the slight snoring came one after another. Qiu Yao rolled up the sheets and locked it in a corner and looked at the fire. Song Yu didn't know what situation she was in at this time. The Qin people attacked the city, except for a few people around him. No matter how difficult it is to find out what virtuous ministers are, Song Yu's life must be worry-free, but those ministers will not take this opportunity to fall into the well and blame Song Yu for not surrendering at the beginning.
Qiu Yao didn't feel a sneer in her heart. After a few years after the Qin army attacked Zhao and more than 400,000 soldiers were killed, they may be able to understand what a stupid idea it is to surrender to Bai Qi.
The young people who reported the news before became the only way to contact the people in the cave and the outside, but they only came once a day to send some clean water and dry food. For fear of leaving traces to attract the Qin people, there was also an unoptimistic news that came with food and water. The Chu army was defeated like a mountain. Three days later, the news reported The young man never came again.
Qiu Yao thought that these old people would fall into panic, but they were all particularly calm. However, after this calmness, it was indescribable bitterness. The black-haired people have passed away, and half of the white-haired man's body was in the earth. The chaos of this era has long been the vicissitudes of him. Our hearts, living in the world is just to fulfill an innate obligation. If you really face the disaster of extinction, there is little left of that fear.
Two days later, the young man still didn't come again.
The Chu army was defeated.
In the outer suburbs, it is reasonable to hear the calls and wailings of the people in the city, and can't see the blood of the river. Qiu Yao seems to be in that kind of inhumane slaughter. No matter how much the surplus food around her can be saved, it can't last for seven days. Qiu Yao suddenly wants to see Song Yu. She is not like these old people who have already seen through everything. She is afraid Fear of death, every day in this cave where the news is blocked is a kind of suffering.
As for the difference, he should have left Yingdu with a prosperous family. In this era, there has always been a lot of slaughter of the people, but there is also a lot of respect for the prince of the family with both virtue and talent. People like him can be valued by the monarch no matter where they go to that country.
But Song Yu is not a person with both virtue and talent. Why does he stubbornly defend this country that is doomed to decline?
Qiu Yao shrank and looked at the pattering spring rain outside. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the rain mixed with a clear sound of horseshoes. Her heart was half afraid and half expected. Then when she got up and saw the white figure in the rain curtain, the defeat and the bloodshed seemed to become so far away. She was so excited that she wanted to scream. But his body just stood stiffly in place, staring at the constantly expanding figure.
Song Yu's clothes were soaked in the rain, and a few crystals fell from his forehead to the edge of Yingting's nose. Qiu Yao suffocated and could no longer look away.
He took a deep look at him, with all kinds of tenderness that only she could understand.
"The son of Song is coming!"
"Sunzi Song, how's the situation outside?"
......
Qiu Yao stood aside quietly and listened to Song Yu answer everyone's doubts one by one. His body was still wet, shuttling through the wind and rain all the way. His face was a little white, but his lips were still bright red, and his broken hair was close to his serious face, making his exquisite eyebrows even more amazing, and his face was like crown jade.
The Chu army was defeated, and the king of Chu had moved away from Yingdu. The Qin people slaughtered the city for only one day, leaving thousands of soldiers and horses to garrison the two cities of Yanying, and all the rest of the troops retreated east to rush to Deng.
"This is not like Bai Qi's style of doing things." Song Yu's tone was faint, but the waves surged in his eyes. "But you can go back to the village at ease now. Qin Jun should not come to this far suburb again."
"What about you?" Qiu Yao listened for a long time, and finally couldn't help but make a sound. When she looked into his eyes, she suddenly felt a little guilty. He was so worried about the world, but she was only greedy for him for a moment.
Song Yu paused slightly, and her dark eyes stared at her beautiful face. "The king left in a hurry, and there are still many things that are too late to deal with. Many important ministers of the State of Chu are hiding in the city. What I want to do is to help the king move the remaining important ministers out of the city."
Qiu Yao felt cold when she heard the words.
I don't know who interrupted the words "Sir Song, please do your work at ease. Miss Xie, we will take care of you." Qiu Yao's face suddenly turned half red and was a little at a loss for a moment.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you." Song Yu's face was unconsciously relaxed, and Qiu Yao's face was even more hot.
"It should be. If Mr. Song is not at ease, just take Miss Xie on the spot."
This topic was out of control. There was a little warmth in the originally cool cave. If the initial proposal was a joke, then later everyone sincerely persuaded her. Qiu Yao couldn't stand it and looked at Song Yu with begging for mercy, but saw that he actually looked softly in front of everyone. She then nodded resolutely.
