She desperately supported her body, hoping to hold on for a few more days. She hoped that Zhang Gui would learn the news that she was framed in the palace as soon as possible and come to rescue her. However, it backfired. Zhang Gui was fighting on the front line and was also in a life of water.

In a fiery, life-threatening state, someone had blocked the news of her murder in the palace early, and no one knew that she was in such a state today.

Zhang Shiyan, who was fighting on the road to conquer the west, repeatedly requested the central government for granary support and military support. However, the central government retorted that the treasury was empty and could not support him, and he was left to lead a group of Zhang family troops alone to fight hard in Xiliang.

for a long time.

This long and hard battle also left Zhang Shiyan with scars, and he almost died on the battlefield several times.

"If you still don't plead guilty, take your own life early and don't struggle with us. We are just following orders." The envoys on duty had to watch her drink the poisonous wine in person. After confirming her death, their

The errand is finally over.

Under the insensitive, cold and unwarm gazes of both pairs of people, the aunt drank down the poisonous wine in tears. Soon she felt that her limbs and bones were in pain as if they were being crushed, and a stream of heat surged out of her chest, and she took a big mouthful of wine.

He vomited blood and died in prison.

The prison officer came forward to verify her death, wrote down the reason with the household registration official, and canceled her household registration. He ordered someone to roll up a straw mat and collect her body in a scribble. He then put the aunt's body together with the broken straw mat.

They were thrown together on the slope of the mass burial of those who had given death to them outside the palace.

The confirmed news of Hegu's death reached the ears of Zhang family's mother Xin. She was overjoyed. Under such circumstances, her son's marriage to the daughter of the Yin family should be settled, right? She thought to herself.

Then she began to happily exchange letters with the daughter of the Yin family, telling Zhang Gui's admiration for her, hoping to get a good relationship and create a good story. In the letter, she used Zhang Shiyan's name and borrowed her words to express her love to the Yin family.

The daughter expresses her feelings.

This back-and-forth exchange made the daughter of the Yin family feel a little affectionate, and because Zhang Shiyan finally won the battle to suppress the west, the Zhang family's troops became famous in the Xiliang area. How could the daughter of the Yin family not be attracted by such a hero?

Within a few days, Yinnu showed some emotion and agreed to Zhang's marriage proposal.

But Zhang Guiren was unaware of all this outside his home and on the battlefield. When he returned from victory exhausted and scarred, he found that his family was busy preparing for his marriage.

At first he thought that his younger brother Zhang Su was getting married, but after finding out more about it, he discovered that the whole Zhang family was bustling with excitement and was busy for his marriage, so he got furious at home.

"Mother, it is your fault that you have done this again and again. How could you have made a lifelong commitment to me without my knowledge? I am still on the battlefield, and my life is uncertain.

In the blink of an eye, you agreed to my marriage. If I never come back, how will you explain it to the daughter of the Yin family? Isn't this considered a breach of contract?" Zhang Shiyan was extremely angry. This was not the first time that his mother had not passed by.

His consent sealed the marriage for him.

He didn't want to marry a daughter of the Yin family. What he cared about was his aunt who was walking on thin ice in the palace and was careful to make a living. He just wanted to use the victory in the Zhenxi battle to improve the official status of the family's medical officer, so that he could

I can justifiably marry my aunt into the family.

Everyone helped the Zhang family's mistress to deceive the fact that Zhang Shiyan and his aunt were dead, but Xin's mother saw that her son was only obsessed with the witch, as if she was blinded, so she couldn't help but tell him the truth.

"My aunt is dead!!!" she said sternly.

As soon as he said this, Zhang Shiyan couldn't believe it. Seeing his confused look, Xin's mother repeated it more clearly, "He Gu has an impure heart. After entering the palace, she coveted glory and wealth, and was

Those who bribed and plotted to kill the prince would have been sentenced to death by decree a long time ago!"

"If I hadn't exchanged letters with the queen, proving that she has nothing to do with the Zhang family, I'm afraid we would have been implicated. Fortunately, I was prepared and made it clear that she has nothing to do with us, so we avoided this difficulty. Son, please wake up.

!”

Xin's mother tried her best to persuade her son not to miss her anymore since she was gone. What's more, she was not a good person. If she was greedy for profit, she would be blinded and do evil things.

Zhang Shiyan couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it. What he couldn't believe was that he clearly had an informant in the palace to protect his aunt, and asked her about her current situation in the palace every day, but this kind of thing could actually happen.

But he didn't know anything about it. He didn't dare to think or guess, because the only person with such power in the Zhang family and the person who could seal his information was a close confidant, and that person was only his mother.

He couldn't even believe that his mother would actually kill his beloved woman for the sake of the Zhang family's future glory and family status.

He didn't dare to think or guess because he was afraid that the truth would be too cruel. It turned out that his mother was such a vicious and cruel person.

Zhang Shiyan seemed to have lost his soul, and his mind fell into silence. He burned the east wing of Zhang's Mansion, vowed never to return to Zhang's Mansion, and severed ties with his family. He was devastated and found out about the mass burial slope where the corpses were thrown.

He just hoped in his heart, "A person like you who can bring back the dead can save others, so he can also save himself, right?" He thought silently in his heart, "You must have a way to save your own life, right?" He just looked away.

As he thought about it, he looked for Hegu's body, but he was afraid of finding it, and he was afraid that he couldn't find it.

After rummaging through the corpses wrapped in grass in the slope, he did not find her body. He was a little lucky in his heart because he knew that He Gu would carry with her the Huanyang Pill that Master gave her to save her life, which has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life.

He searched day and night for three days and three nights in Potou. Finally, he was exhausted and fainted on the slope. When he woke up again, it was already half a month later.

Hegu's death seemed to have taken away half of Zhang Shiyan's life, making him depressed. He would often sit in the courtyard for the whole day, or he could not sleep at night, without lighting the lamp, and would be alone.

Sitting in the dark, silent and motionless.

Since he left with his aunt, his character has become more and more withdrawn. He does not speak to others, does not interact with others, no longer has emotions, and no longer has expressions. He has become much more violent in dealing with others, and his methods have become more and more bloody.

Human nature. Hegu is no longer in this world. He hates this world and everyone around him even more.

He lost all happiness and the idea of ​​life. Instead of living in this world where he was tortured, it would be better for everyone to be buried with her and die with her, just like he had lost all happiness.

, it would be nice if all the people he hates disappear from this world together.

As an official in the court and a military attache, he should suppress bandits and put an end to chaos.

In the past, he would have always felt pity for the captives and spent all his efforts to tame them so that they could make a living again. But now, he thinks that he lost his loved ones on the way to the west, so he should let everyone

All the forces and things that prevented him from being together with his beloved, whether they were people or things, were buried together. So in the battle to suppress the bandits two years later, he massacred 30,000 prisoners, massacred the city with blood, and piled up corpses.
