Chapter 73 On the First Snow on the Grassland

After asking the two horse thieves to write the location of the treasure, He Ran saw that the two wrote the same text, so he summoned Bayaner and several generals to ask that the site was in the southeast, more than 1,000 miles away. He did not dare to be careless and sent 3,000 soldiers to get the treasure.

At this time, it was not far from Geqiong City, and he marched for another section of camp 50 miles away from Geqiong City. He led hundreds of officials to reap the army. He said that Xinyan Tuliang had withdrawn, and the king was about to return to the army in a few days.

He Ran politely refused his invitation to enter the city and insisted on waiting for the king to come back before entering Geqiong together. He was asked to build 82 good coffins, install the children of Zangxian Valley who died in battle, and prepare mule and horse vehicles to transport the coffins back to Yiguo.

Hong Konger worshipped the fallen soldiers and was ready within two days of going back. When loading the coll, he had to pay tribute to the heads of the horse thieves. He Ran sent a 500-person Xiangguo people and horses to escort the convoy back to China, and the children of the Tibetan sages and valleys sent them out nearly a hundred miles.

He Ran went to see A Jiangli's punishment when he had nothing to do. In this way, he used to relieve the pain of his dead brothers. Without Xi Qun, it was difficult for him to adapt for a while. When he called people several times, he habitually called out the name of Xi Qun. Every time he shouted wrong, he tortured A Jiang Liman.

In just a few days, A Jiang Liman took off his human form, and his lower lip was bitten by himself. The fierceness on his face disappeared, and his eyes were full of hatred. One left hand had been cut off little by little and forced to eat. At this moment, when he saw He Ran coming in, he made a ho ho. Not only his tongue was cut, but also his mouth was strangled. The sound was like a low roar between the throats of a beast. His eyes were on fire. If his eyes could kill people, He Ran had been shattered.

Looking at his ferocious appearance, He Ran felt happy in his heart. He took a small burning wooden strip from the charcoal basin, blew out the fire, and poked it on the soles of A Jiangli's feet with a smile.

The pain made A Jiangli's facial muscles twisted. He gritted his teeth and said nothing, and his red eyes stared at the smiling demon in front of him.

"Good, have backbone!" He Ran raised his big finger and changed a wooden strip. This time, he did not blow out the fire, but roasted an inch away from the scalded position. He looked at the flame and said, "Let me tell you the news, I have sent someone to get your treasure. Ha ha, 20,000 gold, thank you very much. It is said that you still have two sons in your secret nest, chopping grass. It's enough. They won't suffer as much as you do.

After listening to Wan Jin's translation, A Jiangli closed his eyes in pain.

He Ran's face slowly turned cold and said, "This is just the beginning. There are still more than 70 days left. Don't be a coy. I really want to see what you look like when you see those treasures and your two sons." With that, he handed over the wooden strips in his hand to a criminal soldier, "Bake it for a while. It's the most uncomfortable to be burned by the fire. The brothers haven't gone far yet. Let them hear more about the howlings of their enemies. He stood with his hands on his back, with a smile on his face, ready to continue to enjoy the pleasure of revenge.

The curtain suddenly picked up, and Xiao Xiao came in. She took a look at the blood-stained tent and raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose. The smell here was really disgusting.

"Why are you here?" He Ran asked with a smile.

Xiao Xiao frowned and motioned him to go out, and then went out by himself.

As soon as he paid the bill, Xiao Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't come to see these in the future."

"What's the matter?" There was a look of pride in He Ran's smile. He guessed that Xiaoling must have mentioned the situation here to her.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything and turned over to "step on the wind". He Ran saw that Rouge was also on the side and followed the horse.

"Go and walk the horse." Xiao Xiao rode away without waiting for his answer.

He Ran couldn't help this kind of horse walking activity, and urged the rouge to rush up.

Out of the camp, Xiao Xiao strangled the horse in a remote place and said worriedly, "I heard Yiner mention that you slaughtered the body of the assassin, which was the one who killed Xiao He."

A cold light appeared in He Ran's eyes, "Yes, I finally asked someone to chop up the dead body and feed it to the dog."

Xiao Xiao sighed and said, "Yin'er said that she looked at your look at that time. She was really scared and felt that she didn't know you anymore."

He Ran restrained the light of hatred in his eyes, returned to his old look, and said with a smile, "Am I so scary? It's not surprising that everyone has to look vicious at that time, right?

Xiao Xiao looked at him and shook his head gently. "Not everyone can kill corpses, but you do it again and again, and your look is not fierce, but very fast and enjoyable. Xiaoling told me that a horse thief's belly was cut off and his intestines were exposed. He kept screaming. But you were very happy to watch it, and you explained all the organs to her with a wooden stick as if nothing had happened.

He Ran blinked his eyes and said, "There are many people who are more cruel than me. These horse thieves have to be stripped alive to relieve their hatred!"

Xiao Xiao sighed again and said, "Sister Xiyao is very worried about you. She was shocked when she thought of the last time you set fire to the enemy in the Tibetan Sage Valley. She always suspects that you are really reincarnation of a evil star. There is a magic root in your heart. Your killing heart is too heavy. Everyone is afraid that you will develop a cruel nature."

He Ran curled his lips disapprovingly and said, "A woman's heart can only condone the adultery and repay retribution with virtue. How can she repay virtue? Let's not talk about killing Xiaohe's beast. It's cheap for him to die. Which of those horse thieves has never been stained with the blood of good herdsmen? How many innocent women have been ruined? How can it be demonstrated that this kind of person does not punish God severely? I don't think I did anything wrong.

Xiao Xiao looked at him and was speechless.

"I know that I am too murderous. You are also the leader of the army. I believe you can understand the killing on the battlefield."

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "There is nothing to say when you die. It's a bastard to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality on the battlefield."

"Killing sacrificial wine makes me bear a narrow-minded notoriety. I don't want to say more that he is a false benevolent man. If I don't kill him, I can't deter the pedantic minister. At that time, the country was in danger and we must use extraordinary means."

"I also know this. You had no choice, and I blamed you at that time."

"As for the civil code, those who steal the hook will also be killed... hehe." He Ran smiled disdainfully, "You know that I'm lazy. How can I bother with these nosy things? The reason why I intervene in political affairs is all because of the needs of the war. It is not so much to strengthen the country as to save my life. I know that many people who died under my criminal law are not guilty to death in the eyes of most people, but I am going to kill them, because I have seen with my own eyes that these people's poisons have flooded after a thousand years!"

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he was referring to the "previous life" before he came here. Looking at the way he gritted her teeth, she really couldn't imagine what the state of the "previous life" that made him so resentful.
