end song

Walking through the alley, I saw that the yards on both sides were neatly built.

There are also several plum blossoms growing in the corner.

When the Mongolian army captured Kaifeng, Zhang Rou escorted many old and distinguished families from the Kingdom of Jin to Baozhou. Therefore, some streets and alleys in the city were full of poets and scholars, and the environment was very elegant.

It's just that in such an elegant snow scene, many bloodstains and corpses have been left behind.

Under the guard of the soldiers, Dong Wenyong walked forward along the bloodstains, his steps were a little slow, as if he was taking a walk.

From time to time, screams came from the front, and with the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the wind, more corpses fell down.

"Zhang Hongfan is in this yard!"

"Go in..."

Turning a corner, Dong Wenyong stopped.

He saw another group of people coming on horseback from the opposite side, and surrounded the small courtyard where Zhang Hongfan was hiding.

Someone around Dong Wenyong immediately reminded him: "That's from the Zhang family. I'm afraid they want to protect Zhang Jiu. Did Mr. Xiang send someone to kill him immediately?"

"Not urgent."

Dong Wenyong opened his mouth, his voice was very hoarse.

His eyes were already red, but his movements and voice were very slow, he said: "No hurry, I have the patience to see how he struggles."

"But just in case they keep Zhang Jiu."

"Try it."

Dong Wenyong has already stopped.

He looked up and saw that the horse-riding team in front stepped aside, and a little girl came up and shouted at the courtyard where Zhang Hongfan was hiding: "Ninth brother, surrender, don't resist anymore..."

Not too far away, Dong Wenyong raised the corners of his mouth after hearing such words.

He was really not worried that the Zhang family would save Zhang Hongfan today.

Because before departure, Li Xia called him to meet once, and Zhang Wenjing was also present at that time.

Zhang Wenjing personally promised him that the Zhang family would give an explanation to the Dong family. She made the promise in front of civil and military officials as the concubine of the Tang Dynasty and the daughter of Zhang's parents.

Then, if Dong Wenyong couldn't get Zhang Hongfan's head to worship today, the Zhang family would have to pay more.

He didn't mind to see how the Zhang family gave Zhang Jiu hope...

~~
There is a two-and-a-half-story loft in the courtyard.

Marshal Zhang Hongfan of the Mongol Han Army has less than 20 troops left under his command, and they are gathering in the attic to guard.

Zhang Hongfan hid in the building, holding a bow and arrow and aiming at the courtyard gate, waiting for Dong Wen to come in.

But it was not Dong Wenyong who first appeared in his sight, but Zhang Wenwan.

Only now did Zhang Hongfan realize that he had underestimated this younger sister. He had always thought that she was simple-minded. He never thought that she had been lying to him during this period of time.

He underestimated not only Zhang Wenwan, but many more.

"Ninth brother! I beg you, come out and surrender."

"Go away." Zhang Hongfan shouted: "If you dare to approach again, I will kill you."

"Are you crazy?" Zhang Wenwan said: "You have come to a dead end, where else can you escape?"

"Don't worry about it, you've never been on my side, have you? Go away!"

Zhang Wenwan was waiting to shout again, when suddenly someone came over and pulled her out, out of the courtyard gate.

Zhang Hongfan squinted his eyes, and vaguely saw the figure of that person.

"Zhang Hongdao! You want to kill me yourself, don't you?!"

"..."

Zhang Hongdao didn't seem to hear the shouting inside, and pulled Zhang Wenwan out of the small courtyard, and said in a bad tone: "Who asked you to come?"

"I came here by myself, I'm here to save Brother Nine."

"It's too late, you go back."

"I'm not going back."

"go back!"

Zhang Hongdao suddenly shouted angrily, his tone was extremely severe, which shocked Zhang Wenwan.

Suddenly, she burst into tears again with a "wow".

Zhang Hongdao had no choice but to push this ignorant younger sister into the carriage, and ordered someone to take her away, then turned to look at Dong Wenyong over there.

"Brother Yancai, I'll leave this to you. I'll guard the granary to avoid chaos."

"Won't Goro persuade Jiulang to let go of his resistance?"

"No, I can't persuade him, so let Brother Yancai... deal with it."

Just now when Zhang Hongdao saw Dong Wen was here, he didn't plan to come here again, but because Zhang Wenwan was ignorant and came to make trouble, he chased him and took his sister away.

With a long sigh, he turned and left.

The sound of fighting behind them suddenly became louder, as if Zhang Hongfan rushed over.

And yelled at him.

"Zhang Wu, are you satisfied? You finally took the family business!"

Zhang Hongdao was stunned for a moment, then stopped.

There were endless screams behind him, and the voices of those dead men urging Zhang Hongfan to break out and escape quickly could be heard.

Zhang Hongfan only focused on cursing.

"Zhang Wu, come and kill me with your own hands! You have the ability to steal the family property from me, but you dare not face me?!"

"Isn't that why you surrendered Li Xia? Now it's all yours, are you happy?!"

Zhang Hongdao just stood there and listened.

After a long time, the movement behind him gradually died down. He turned his head and saw that Zhang Hongfan had been dragged in front of Dong Wenyong like a dead dog.

"Marshal, let's go." Someone whispered to Zhang Hongdao.

"Well, I didn't think to come here..."

~~
"Do you regret it?"

Dong Wenyong squatted down, looked at Zhang Hongfan who was being pushed to the ground, and asked, "Do you regret killing Dong's family?"

"You know in your heart that the person who killed your family is you... not me."

Dong Wen's expression froze slightly.

Zhang Hongfan, whose face was covered with blood, smiled bitterly, and continued: "When you were defeated in Tongguan, if you had the courage to die, the Dong family would not be suspected. They would have a choice when the Tang army came under pressure. You see, it was you who killed us." If you die, you are full of doors."

"Sophistry? Are you afraid that I will execute you Ling Chi?"

"Is it a sophistry? You understand in your heart. There is a wrong and a debt. Do you think I have a choice when I was in Yanjing? Did I?!"

Although Zhang Hongfan was pressed to the ground with bruises all over his body, the momentum he suddenly erupted was stronger than that of Dong Wenyong.

When he roared, his mouth was covered with blood, and he looked very ferocious.

"If you don't kill your whole family, Kublai Khan will kill my whole family, because of what? Because you are as stupid as Zhang Wu, you only care about your own future and life, and set your family on fire!"

"Snapped!"

Dong Wenyong slapped Zhang Hongfan hard on the face, followed by another backhand, which slapped both sides of his face until they were swollen.

Zhang Hongfan laughed loudly, and asked back: "Are you guilty? You know in your heart that all your relatives were killed by your selfishness!"

"Dog, I cut you!"

"Come on, put the blame on me so you can feel at ease, then kill me, coward!"

Zhang Hongdao, who was standing silently on the other side of the alley, sniffed, then suddenly pulled out his saber and turned around.

Zhang Hongfan was still shouting wantonly.

"Surrender to Li Xia before the situation is clear. Don't hide your shame when you talk about the righteousness of the Han people! Don't you just give it a go and give yourself a fortune that you don't have in Dayuan..."

Zhang Hongdao had already grabbed Zhang Hongfan's hair.

"Who is a coward?!"

"You, you!"

"You would rather kneel down and be a dog to a foreign race than admit that we are right, you are a coward!"

"What do you know, you trash? If it weren't for me, the Zhang family would have ended up in the same fate as the Dong family. You did it to me!"

"If there weren't too many cowards like you, the Central Plains people would have straightened their backs, cowards! Open your eyes and see? Who else is willing to help you? Who else is standing beside you?!"

"Hahaha." Zhang Hongfan laughed loudly, "You took the family business from me, aren't you proud?"

Hearing this laughter, the tears in Zhang Hongdao's eyes rolled down uncontrollably.

"You are incurable."

"Zhang Wu, please remember, no matter how much achievements you have in the future, you will take them away from me."

Zhang Hongdao sucked his nose heavily, and slashed the knife in his hand, cutting Zhang Hongfan's neck like killing a chicken.

Blood was pouring out, spilling on Dong Wen's boots.

Zhang Hongdao let go of his hand, but the tears in his eyes couldn't be stopped at all.

He always knew that his heart was not hard enough, and he really didn't want to come here.

~~
"Let's go."

Dong Wenyong waved his hand, turned around and left, feeling a little dull.

Zhang Hongfan's death did not satisfy him.

After thinking about it, he murmured: "At least Zhang Jiu said something right, the wrong has its head and the debt has its owner."

Zhang Hongdao has not left yet.

He didn't want people to see him cry, so he walked into the small courtyard where Zhang Hongfan was hiding just now, and sat alone in the attic on the two and a half floors.

In fact, there is not much time to dissolve emotions in this way.

In a while, I will go to appease many subordinate soldiers, appease the people in the city, and appease relatives and friends.

"Master?"

Someone downstairs is already urging.

Zhang Hongdao wiped his face, turned his head to look, but saw a line of small characters on the wooden wall, obviously someone had just carved it with an arrow, with iron strokes and silver hooks, strong and powerful, it was a handwriting that he was very familiar with.

That was Zhang Hongfan's last letter.

"Poor piece of liver and intestines, but it makes the last forever shame."
