Chapter 101 Chapter 101
Reunited after a long absence, the passion and happiness are naturally indescribable.Wu Junyi hasn't had sex for a long time. No matter how much he cherishes Shen Yu, he will inevitably indulge a little bit. After the two of them are lingering, Shen Yu's back is sore and his legs are weak. If he hadn't been used to riding horses for the past two years and kept fit, he might have stood still by this time. Can't stop.
And he had no way to complain, so he could only half-jokingly say: "Seeing you riding horses here today, you are so majestic, so you are showing off your physical strength to me."
"What's so difficult about it?" Wu Junyi smiled as if nothing had happened, and put his arms around Shen Yu tightly, "If you want to ride a horse, I'll teach you. If you don't keep it for a month, I'll let you sit safely on the horse. easy."
Shen Yu pushed him, but it was a pity that his strength was a bit weak and it had no effect, it seemed to be acting like a baby with him. "Stop making trouble, there are a lot of things going on, tell me quickly, how is Beijing going?"
"I have to give you this first." Wu Junyi looked serious, and took out a letter from his arms.
Wu Junyi brought Shen He's family letter.
Another thing Shen Yu insisted on doing after coming to Dengzhou was to eradicate spies.After all, it is impossible for Xianbei to be unaware of Daqi's mobilization of troops and horses on the border like this, and the war is about to break out.And Dengzhou has too many secrets that cannot be passed on to outsiders: such as the manufacture of firearms.
Therefore, Shen Yu ordered that the counties be counted from house to house in each county. Except for the people who have lived in Dengzhou for many years, all merchants, servants, and soldiers, including vagrants, must be investigated one by one. If no one can guarantee their identity, they will be called for questioning.
After checking in this way, it turned out that several nails were pulled out, most of which were lurking in the caravan, continued to do business, and sent letters to the Xianbei people.Fortunately, Shen Yu has always kept the matter of firearms secret, and these businessmen have not heard of it.It's just that Shen Yu didn't expect that after searching and searching, she also found an acquaintance: Shen Tai.
Shen Yu has always heard about Shen Qi's whereabouts: since Shen Qi was released, he went north to join the army, trained very hard, and now he is also a small official, which made Shen Yu feel a little relieved.But he has never heard about Shen Tai's news.
Unexpectedly, the other party came to Dengzhou and became a spy.
Shen Yu's heart was shaken, but the state owns the state law, so he could only pretend that he didn't know the other party, and was only detained in prison according to the law. On the other hand, he wrote a letter to explain the cause and effect to his father.
And Shen He's reply letter is now in his hands.
Shen Yu paused for a while before opening the envelope. He didn't know what result he was expecting to hear from his father, but he felt a little nervous. The moment he opened the letter, he held his breath.
"Bo Jin?" Wu Junyi called out tentatively.
Shen Yu didn't respond.
"Bojin, if you want to spare his life, it's not impossible." Wu Junyi hugged Shen Yu's waist from behind, "After the sentence is sentenced, find a death row prisoner who is similar in size to him..."
"No need." Shen Yu finally spoke, his face was a little pale, but when he spoke, his expression was normal. "Father didn't intercede for him."
He said "he", and he didn't want to call that person uncle anymore.
The crimes committed by Shen Tai cannot be absolved of death. According to the found letters, he cooperated with the caravan people inside and out, and reported the location and number of troops stationed in Dengzhou last year.It is already very kind of Wu Junyi not to skin him and make him suffer from cramps, implicating the nine clans.But for the sake of Shen Yu's face, Wu Junyi can even pardon his capital crime.
"Father told me not to intercede with him." Shen Yu said. "I don't want to do this either. Those people died because of him, and he should pay the price."
In fact, Shen He personally went to the cemetery, and after paying homage to Shen Mu, he wrote the letter. After denouncing Shen Tai's crimes, and reflecting on his past incompetence, he only made one request: don't do anything for him. Shen Tai begged for mercy.
"He should pay the price." Shen Yu repeated.He thought of the bloody numbers on the report.
Wu Junyi held Shen Yu's hand silently, giving him his own strength.
Only two days after the army arrived in Dengzhou, the Xianbei army went south, and the war broke out.
For the sake of Shen Yu's face and the Shen family's face, Wu Junyi allowed Shen Tai to commit suicide.And his head was piled up with the rest of the spies to sacrifice the flag for the army.
Shen He did not remove Shen Tai from the genealogy.He said that it was just evasion, that life was part of the Shen family, and even death would not change the fact that the lost face and glory would naturally have to be earned back by the Shen family.
As for Shen Rong... Shen Yu hoped that he would never know about it for the rest of his life.
After the start of the war, Shen Yu spent most of his time dealing with internal affairs, taking care of the wounded, distributing food and grass, and replacing weapons... As a civil servant, even the magistrate of Dengzhou could only listen obediently when discussing the march.Wu Junyi, on the other hand, spends most of the day supervising the battle on the tower and making plans.
Different from the past, this time it was a prepared war. Everyone in Dengzhou was prepared for battle, nervous and excited, instead of the apprehension and fear of the past when the army approached the city.
It's just that when they are so busy, even though Shen Yu and Wu Junyi live in the same state office, they rarely get along with each other.
It was just at the meeting to discuss strategies, Wu Junyi cast a quick glance, Shen Yu
It's fine if you don't see her, Shen Yu is used to the days when she is busy and has no one to accompany her.Moreover, he didn't want Wu Junyi to see himself like this.
Shen Yu's spirit is not very good recently, not because he is busy, but...he sees a lot of wounded every day.
The wounds of these people were very tragic, some were pierced by sharp arrows, slashed by sabers, and the most cruel, Shen Yu had seen one, was dragged along by a horse's hoof, and his entire arm was pulled off.It is a miracle that this person is still alive.
After looking at the man's wounds, no matter whether it was the doctor or the servants who traveled with Shen Yu, they all looked unbearable, but Shen Yu calmly comforted him, telling him that he had made military exploits, and his family would be assigned to the fields. Don't worry—but just after leaving the tent, Shen Yu couldn't stand up straight anymore, and suddenly leaned forward, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
The bright red was particularly eye-catching.
Shen Yu strictly forbids his servants to spread the word, and he is not allowed to call a doctor. The number of doctors in the city is very limited. He feels young and energetic, so it's okay to survive.
Moreover, he knew where the root of the disease was, and doctors couldn't cure it. It was a heart disease.
He has seen every single soldier in Dengzhou City, and he can even name them and count their family backgrounds.Because the soldiers have been selected, these are young and strong young men, at a good age, but Shen Yu can only watch them, and even push them to die.
The crippled, perhaps lucky enough to survive at least one life, can go home.But those who are cured will go back to the battlefield.
How can there be such a lucky person who will die again and again without dying?In the end, all the children I knew would disappear one by one.
In Shen Yu's nightmare, it was either these vague corpses or their family members asking themselves: Why do you force them to die?Why do not you go to hell?
He couldn't sleep all night, sat with his arms around the quilt for a while, and then got up. He didn't dare to read the casualties in the report, so he could only go out for a walk. The guards at the top of the city were still patrolling. When they saw him, they showed their innocence. awe and trust. "This subordinate has seen the adults!"
In fact, Shen Yu, the prefect, is not considered a high-ranking official in Dengzhou where His Majesty the Emperor is now visiting.But these guards had heard about Mr. Shen's contribution, and knew that it was because of Mr. Deng that they had thick cotton clothes and sharp weapons. All of them were grateful for the prefect's kindness.Someone else asked with concern: "Your Excellency has worked hard during the day, why don't you rest now?"
Shen Yu almost fled away from the tower in a panic.He kept asking himself: Are you worthy?
But no matter whether he rested or not, during the day, Shen Yu was still busy with war affairs.The roar of the charge at the top of the city and the explosion of fire and thunder came from time to time, reminding him all the time how many people he killed.
Everyone else could see Shen Yu's exhaustion and haggardness, let alone Wu Junyi, who was always paying attention to him.It's a pity that he was so concerned, but he couldn't find the right time to talk to Shen Yu: they are always surrounded by guards and subjects, and Deng Xian is always around, even if they meet, they can only ask coldly, there are many Can't say anything.
When discussing the military situation at noon that day, Wu Junyi could hardly get distracted and gave Shen Yu a wink.
He is now living a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife, and every time he becomes more bored with the outside world, he will miss Shen Yu more.Moreover, seeing Shen Yu's appearance, he couldn't help but want to get angry: what happened?Right in front of my own eyes, people have become like this?
Deng Xian was still talking. After the attacks were repelled for several days, the Xianbei cavalry rarely began to show fatigue. Deng Xian felt that it was time to send the cavalry to Daqi.
"No." This was the first time Shen Yu took the initiative to speak. When he stood up, he felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand still. Fortunately, the subordinate officer next to him helped him in time, and he trembled and stood still. "Your Majesty, the defenders cannot afford such casualties."
Deng Xian frowned, his eyes pierced towards Shen Yu like arrows.Wu Junyi immediately looked worriedly, ready to stop at any time: Wu Junyi has seen a lot about how ugly Deng Xian's words are.
Unexpectedly, Deng Xian just said calmly: "Master Shen, it is not an option to stick to it. The Jingwei is mainly composed of cavalry, which cannot be used on the towers. Firearms can only delay time. If Dengzhou is besieged, The casualties will only get worse."
Shen Yu left a deep row of teeth marks on his lips, and he finally replied: "I have been taught." Then, he sat down silently, ignoring Wu Junyi's eyes.
That night, Wu Junyi finally couldn't hold back anymore, greeted the secret guard, slipped out quietly, and touched the back office of the state capital.
To his surprise, it was already three o'clock, and Shen Yu didn't sleep, but just sat there quietly, copying something.
He approached quietly, and found that Shen Yu's pen was full of names—he had the impression that some of them were on the list of death rewards, and he had just seen them.
"Bo Jin." Wu Junyi called softly.
Shen Yu's pen slipped, and then he turned his head with a tired face. "It's you. Why are you here?"
Wu Junyi didn't make fun of it, but said with a serious face: "Bo Jin, you should go back to the capital."
