- Forty years ago, in the second year after Kong Guozhang joined the army, the imperial army suffered a disastrous defeat in Annan County in southern Xinjiang.
The 30,000-strong army was surrounded by enemies several times larger than the enemy, and the commander was killed. The soldiers desperately fled towards the seaside, where the imperial navy was located and the only way to survive.
In the muddy rainforest, Kong Guozhang trudged with his comrades, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Many companions fell down due to illness or hunger. At this time, they only asked the people around them to give them a knife to avoid dying in the mud and then rotting.
Kong Guozhang and his surviving comrades ate the flesh of the dead. By the time they reached the seaside, there was no one left in the entire team.
This is not a port, and Navy ships cannot dock.
Exhausted, everyone had to swim across the sea more than thirty feet away, and they had to be fast. The drums of the Annan army came from behind, and the imperial navy also made moves to pull out the anchor.
We are all here, how can we die?
Kong Guozhang jumped into the cold water and swam towards the giant ship. The same goes for the companions around him. Everyone swam desperately, but some people sank into the dark seabed midway because of exhaustion.
Finally, Kong Guozhang came to the ship. When he came down, he only needed to climb up the hanging ladder to get a new life.
However, in the eyes of the exhausted soldiers, climbing a ten-foot-high soft ladder was more difficult than rolling over an iron nail board.
As he tried to climb up, Kong Guozhang felt the weight of his body. Lowering his head, what he saw was his close comrade-in-arms. He placed his hope on Kong Guozhang and begged desperately. Kong Guozhang remembered clearly. The comrade-in-arms also has a pregnant newlywed wife and an elderly mother at home.
"Please. Take me"
In the distance, the barbarian army has rushed to the beach and is slaughtering the remaining soldiers. From time to time, sharp arrows fly here, killing the soldiers clinging to the hull. Beside Kong Guozhang, two entangled warriors fell into the water and never floated again.
"There is no time. If this continues, both of us will die."
His other foot suddenly lifted up and stepped hard on the bridge of his comrade's nose. Once, twice, like stepping on a ripe watermelon, the restraints on my feet slowly disappeared. And bright red blood covered the soles of his shoes.
The bodies of his comrades were sinking toward the dark seabed, and Kong Guozhang, who was freed from his restraints, used up his last bit of strength to climb onto the ship.
It¡¯s been a long time since this happened. I don¡¯t know why, but Kong Guozhang suddenly remembered it.
Current situation. It was a very similar scene to that time, but in a different way.
?? Stupid teammates, deceptive companions, and
"I said it. I don't agree. No one should attack his companions. And just because of a possibility."
"Possible? When two million people surge in and slaughter everywhere, do you think you can withstand it?
Don¡¯t forget Mingxiang, she will definitely make trouble in it. What should you do when the time comes? "
Mr. Shen, then, what should we do? "
The person who spoke was Zhong Wendong. He asked with a haggard face, "I know that you are not a crazy person. What you just said was to elicit your thoughts. Say it. If you have any good ideas, just say it. "
¡°It¡¯s very simple, gather the children and let them enter the Dragon Girl Hall.
Shen Yue stood up and looked around at the people around him.
¡°Children will be children, adults will be adults.
Since the riots in Haizhou City are unavoidable, let them come more violently.
There are about 300,000 children in Haizhou City. The government and the Dragon Girl Palace are now issuing notices saying that they are willing to adopt children under the age of twelve in Haizhou City. Regardless of status, wealth or status, everyone can come.
Children under six months old can be brought in with their mother, but as long as the child reaches six months old, his mother must leave.
The light of the Dragon Girl and Water God will shine on these children and protect them through this difficult time. "
"The Kong family can also do this kind of thing."
It was Kong Guozhang who spoke. In an instant, he also seized this opportunity.
In the rioting city, the Kong family is like a lone boat, only slightly safer than a person falling into the water. But it is not impossible to adopt some children to help the Kong family survive the crisis.
"The Kong family can't do it. Because you invented cowpox, the Pox Goddess will definitely attack you. Who dares to send their children to you with confidence? Moreover, the reputation of the Kong family cannot make others completely believe in you.them.
"Look at the celestial phenomena outside, people can only believe in gods at this time. As for the gods in Haizhou City, apart from the Pox Goddess, there is only the Dragon Girl and the Water God!
Lingyin Temple was destroyed. Daxiangguo Temple and Sanqing Temple were short of manpower and could not protect the children. "
Turning around, Shen Yue turned his attention to Kong Xianglan.
"Miss Kong, now you understand why I kicked you out of the chair from the beginning."
"I understand, I understand very well"
Kong Xianglan¡¯s face was as white as paper, but her body was standing straight.
"No, you don't understand. The Kong family and the Dragon Girl Palace are the two major forces in Haizhou City. They are horns and support each other. If the Kong family is besieged, they can use the power of the Dragon Girl Palace or escape into the Dragon Girl Palace. , with the help of the power of magic, it is naturally foolproof.
¡°And what I¡¯m doing now is cutting off one of the Kong family¡¯s arms.
People do not suffer from poverty but from inequality. If the Kong family is allowed to live in the Dragon Girl Palace, other citizens will naturally not believe in the reputation of the Dragon Lady Palace.
¡°And Kong Xianglan, this is not one or two children, not one hundred, one thousand children, but more than one hundred thousand, maybe two hundred thousand, children. What is your choice? What are you going to do? "
Of the 300,000 children, it is estimated that less than half will be able to come. The rest are either because their parents are unwilling, or because they are too far outside the city and the news is not spread smoothly. But still, a hundred thousand children are a very big challenge for the Dragon Girl Palace.
"I will let them move out, no one is left except the children."
"No, this is not enough. You have to wait for the government to post a notice, and then invite the respected people around to come to the Dragon Girl Hall. Under their supervision, let the Kong family move out of the Dragon Girl Hall. They are all yours. My relatives will hate you and die in the future, but you will continue to do this.¡±
After shaking her body a few times, Kong Xianglan nodded.
"Moreover, you must stay in the Dragon Lady Hall and cannot resign as the host. No matter what your relatives think of you, you must grow up as quickly as possible and become cold and ruthless. Even in the future During the day, they knelt in front of the Dragon Girl Hall, and you couldn't take them in, because you had to set an example. When the fire was burning in the Kong family, you couldn't care about it. Your relatives were killed, and you couldn't care about it outside. You can't control everything, because you need to maintain the only pure land in Haizhou City and the safety of hundreds of thousands of children! You have the right and obligation to do all this."
"I know."
There is something shining in Kong Xianglan¡¯s eyes. Is it tears or a determined expression?
¡°Bah, what you said above is just fart!
¡°Because your surname is Kong, everything you do is for the Kong family¡¯s vision. Kong Guozhang and others are outside, fighting with others. No matter they win or lose, they will be stigmatized.
So, once the ban on Haizhou City is lifted, what will the Kong family do to face the world? If the Kong family wants to survive, it will naturally take the lives of many people, not to mention that the cowpox incident caused this disaster.
By then, if Kong Guozhang is still alive, he may commit suicide to thank the world, and you are the hope of the Kong family.
"A saint who has sheltered more than 100,000 children, you can testify that Kong Guozhang has been continuously delivering food to the Dragon Girl Hall from outside. What he did was just for the children to survive.
Even Kong Guozhang will be fine. He can say that people's hearts are in chaos. He worked hard for the sake of the children, and this is the end result!
So, Kong Xianglan, don¡¯t deceive yourself with any noble things. What you do in the future is only for yourself and the Kong family! "
He smiled at Kong Xianglan like a devil.
People can make decisions just like the devil for noble reasons.
============
"Sister, is it really okay for you to do this?"
Kong Xianglan, I asked my sister this way.
As a queen, my sister is in charge of the harem. Things in the palace were more cruel than elsewhere. There were many things that Kong Xianglan didn't even want to hear. Just because of a trivial matter, the palace maids and eunuchs were killed with a stick. Just because of the issue of stance, talented people were suppressed and unable to get ahead.
"I do this for everyone."
My sister smiled, but Kong Xianglan didn¡¯t know, was she doing it for herself, the prince, or someone else?
After killing one palace maid with a stick, the other palace maids continued to serve their sister as if nothing had happened. The talent that had been suppressed for ten years finally joined his sister's side and was extremely loyal.
Without him, it¡¯s just because of the clever means. Those who have been hurt and ravaged are grateful.?
Sister¡¯s face, when combined with Shen Yue¡¯s, was so cold-blooded and ruthless.
"Do you still want me to continue talking?"
"No, shut up!"
At this moment, Shen Yue looked like a devil from hell in Kong Xianglan's eyes.
She is not stupid. On the contrary, her sister has taught her many things about political struggle.
"Noble people cannot go far, because they only have one foot. Only those who are selfish and move forward with noble thoughts can continue to move forward."
The man turned his head and chatted with Xie Xiaofu, as if everything he just said was a joke. Dad and Magistrate Zhong were also discussing in low voices, as if this was a business deal.
But that¡¯s not the case, really not!
They¡¯re talking about millions of lives, they¡¯re talking about standing by and doing nothing.
Why father and son would kill each other, why relatives would kill each other, sometimes she found it unbelievable, but now, everything was before her. (To be continued.
