Episode 12: Magistrate Cheng Cheng sacrificed his life to protect the people

That night, outside the gate of Hua County, fires shot into the sky, spitting out billowing thick black smoke, which dyed the sky faintly bloody. The leading general, Fan Chang, plundered many civilians to force Magistrate Cheng Cheng to open the city gates and even slaughtered them one by one in front of him. This was so heart-rending and outrageous.

County Magistrate Cheng Lao knew full well what the rebels wanted. The reason why they attacked Hua County was simply to ambush Shengshang on his way to the west and start a rebellion. In order to protect the safety of the people in the city, County Magistrate Cheng decided to divert the rebels alone and sent people to break out of the siege to report the situation to Ling Buyi. The Cheng family men and soldiers were willing to sacrifice their lives to follow and left the city to meet the enemy without hesitation.

Xiao Yuanyi dreamed that her daughter was in danger and couldn’t help but wake up from the nightmare. Qingyuan and Cheng Shu both persuaded her to take a rest early. After Cheng Shu left, Qing Yuan smiled and said that Xiao Yuanyi had accompanied the general in battles before and would often fall asleep at his desk while reading the battle reports. He still called Cheng Shaoshang’s name. He didn’t expect that he was so concerned and uneasy when he stayed at home now. This can be seen in the world. A parent’s heart cannot leave behind their children no matter where they are.

Although Xiao Yuanyi was telling the truth, Qingqi could see through it. On the other hand, Cheng Shaoshang always thought that staying behind the Cheng family was pitiful, because he had never seen a truly pitiful person, and he could only understand ordinary people by walking around more. The lives of ordinary people and the difficulties faced by poor families.

The old county magistrate Cheng died for his country, and Fan Chang led the rebels to break into the city. There were bursts of shouting, accompanied by brutal and brutal burning, killing, and looting, and they committed all kinds of evil. The little granddaughter Nannan vaguely remembered the instructions of the old county magistrate Cheng, and risked her life to protect the official seal, only waiting to hand it over to him when the uncle of the Cheng family arrived.

However, the rebels killed everyone they encountered and had no humanity at all. Nannan almost became a dead soul under the sword. Fortunately, Ling Buyi appeared in time and led the black armored guards to repel the rebels. Fan Chang fled, but Ling Buyi was attacked by a secret arrow to protect his daughter. He ordered his subordinates to hunt down Fan Chang along the way, and prepared to report the matter to the Holy Emperor to confirm that Shu had rebelled.

But when he learned that Cheng Shaoshang and Cheng Zhi’s team were accompanying them, Ling Buyi’s expression changed drastically, he got on his horse and led his men to the rescue. At the same time, the rebels came back yesterday, and Cheng Shaoshang had no choice but to open the door to fight and reveal in public that he was not a bandit. Sure enough, the leader of the rebels decided to kill them all, and even revealed the fate of A Miao’s tragic death, which made Cheng Shaoshang extremely sad.

Nowadays, the contrast between the two sides is huge. The rebels are obviously convinced that the domestic soldiers have little fighting power, so they all show ferocious faces and bloodthirsty expressions. Just as the leader of the rebel army was about to attack Cheng Shaoshang, a group of black-armored soldiers came in like a tide, their horses hooves roaring like tigers and wolves galloping. In an instant, the rebels had been wiped out to the last ten, and the scattered soldiers surrendered in tears.

As the danger around him disappeared, Cheng Shaoshang immediately cheered up and fulfilled his duties as a master. He personally brought the injured into the house, boiled water and boiled medicine to stop the bleeding and bandaged them. Ling Buyi looked at Cheng Shaoshang struggling to endure the discomfort, and handed over the handkerchief, which seemed to have a calming effect.

Cheng Shaoshang thanked Ling Buyi and suggested that she take care of the wounded so as not to delay the march. Unexpectedly, Ling Buyi suddenly proposed to stay for treatment. Since Ling Buyi broke off the arrow tail on his own, the arrow only exposed less than half an inch of skin, and there was no way to use force when pulling it out. Moreover, the arrow was hit for a long time, so the doctor was really at his wits’ end.

At this moment, Cheng Shaoshang suddenly came up with a plan. He took the Shaoshang String given to him by Wan Qiqi, carefully embedded the neck string into his flesh, and hooked it into the rusty arrow cluster until it was completely pulled out. During this period, Ling Buyi gritted his teeth and remained silent. Afterwards, he gently comforted Cheng Shaoshang not to blame himself.

Ling Buyi recognized the lost ordnance through Broken Arrow, and immediately stepped in to deal with the remaining rebels. He originally promised to save the lives of the rebels, but when he saw that Cheng Shaoshang wanted to avenge A Miao, he simply killed and executed him himself. Cheng Shaoshang hid in the grass and watched, feeling extremely complicated and confused. Ling Buyi turned around when he heard the movement and couldn’t help but sigh.

Just like the scene when he came, he left as orderly as the tide. Ling Buyi led the black guards to the mountainside and couldn’t help but look back at Cheng Shaoshang as a silent farewell. Cheng Shaoshang was at the head of the list, watching the corpses of the domestic slaves burn more and more along with the firewood, and silently bid farewell to these innocent souls.

After everything was arranged properly, the third uncle Cheng Zhi came over. Before Cheng Shaoshang could say anything, he crawled on the ground to find his beloved wife. Immediately afterwards, Cheng Zhi’s crying was heard in the carriage, as well as the sound of someone walking upstairs.

Yao’s accusation means that he fainted many times during the journey and delayed his trip. Cheng Shaoshang asked Lou Yao about the whole story, and found out that Cheng Zhi mistakenly thought that Sang Shunhua had suffered an accident and fell into unconsciousness repeatedly due to grief and anger.

After listening to the fragmentary story, Cheng Shaoshang became angrier as she thought about it. She and her third aunt had gone through life and death, but her third uncle and Lou Yao were running around all over the mountains and fields without any danger. It could be said that they were like people but had different fates. After some emotion, the convoy continued its journey to Hua County.

As the ruts passed through the bloody water, the city gate slowly opened, and the sight of countless dead and injured, mourning people everywhere, as well as the houses burned by the rebels and the displaced people all made everyone… Shocked by it.
