Chapter 81 The whole life is in ruins
Hearing Zhao Xi's curse, Yuwen Xilan walked over tremblingly and knelt down in front of him: "Prince, spare my life."

Yuwen Xilan was dressed as a servant, probably the person Zhao Xi saw in the morning. She had originally planned to take the blame after the matter was exposed, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Zhao Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the little head on the ground, frowned and said, "Look up."

After hearing this, Yuwen Xilan slowly sat up and looked up at Zhao Xi. Her facial features were indeed very similar to Zhao Ru's, but obviously not her. This woman was only in her early twenties. When Zhao Ru got married, she was still a breastfeeding baby.

Zhao Xi was furious when he thought about being played around by a young girl. He felt that he had lived for more than 30 years in vain and it was really a mistake.

"You..." Zhao Xi pointed at Yuwen Xilan, his beard trembling again and again. He looked fierce, as if he was going to hit someone.

Although Yuwen Xilan had seen many big scenes when she was intimidated and threatened by Tuoba Shuo, none of them had the momentum of the man in front of her. Yuwen Xilan pretended to be calm, but her body, which was shaking like a sieve, betrayed her.

Zhao Xi really wanted to hit someone, but he couldn't do it to a woman. If it were Zhao Qingxun and Si Yan, he could have punched them a few times.

Anyway, the matter was clear, so he didn't plan to stay any longer. He pointed at the two of them viciously and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."

After saying that, he raised his foot and was about to walk back.

Zhao Qingxun and Si Yan looked at each other and spoke up to stop them: "Since we are already here, why don't we go to the front and take a look? Youzhou is indeed a paradise, but it is only like this for a while. Who can guarantee that it will be like this forever?"

After hearing this, Zhao Xi's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said sternly: "Are you saying that I am a person who is greedy for pleasure?"

Zhao Qingxun shook his head: "I don't dare, but I feel that with the war raging right now, Youzhou is so close to Xirong. If we don't suppress the signs of unrest in time, it will be difficult to stay out of it."

Zhao Xi understood this principle. He thought about it for a moment, but didn't show it on his face. He said unhappily, "I think you are very brave. You dare to teach me a lesson."

Just as the few people were in a stalemate, a chaotic sound suddenly came from not far away, including the sound of swords clashing and crying.

A few people subconsciously looked and saw a crowd of people running out of the village not far away. Some people were slashing with swords and knives. It was obviously the behavior of bandits.

When Zhao Xi saw this, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a rough voice: "You dare to fight on my territory? You must be tired of living. Come on!"

As soon as the order was given, Zhao Xi's men rushed forward. Si Yan naturally would not stand idly by and directed his men to go and help.

After walking in, everyone was shocked by the scene before them. There were corpses lying all over the ground, and blood dripping down the ditch into the river, dyeing the whole area red.

The group of people, who were either bandits or Xirong rebels, were fighting for food and loading everything they could take away onto the carts, but that was not the end.

After robbing everything, most of the young laborers in the village had been killed, leaving only the elderly, the weak, women and children. This group of people then began to target women.

They carried the woman to one side, threw her in an open space, and tore her clothes off, obviously wanting to vent their beastly behavior. Among them, there was actually a little girl of seven or eight years old.

Zhao Xi had not seen such a scene for many years. When he was a general, he led troops to quell rebellions and knew how terrible war was.

As the saying goes, “After the war, nothing grows.” Human life is worthless, and the blood-stained mountains and rivers are no joke.

But in the past ten years or so, he has been keeping the area peaceful, and many of his memories have become blurred.

Zhao Xi's eyes were red as he threw himself into the battle. The bandits were all confused, not knowing where so many people came from. Zhao Xi and his group were all in plain clothes, so the bandits thought they were here to rob like him.

The two sides had equal numbers of men, but seeing that the other side was well-trained and that his side was at a disadvantage, the bandit leader quickly called a halt to the fight and asked for peace in order to avoid being at a disadvantage.

"Stop, stop, stop. We are all here to make money. If you want it too, I'll give you some."

Zhao Xi scolded coldly: "You take human life lightly and abuse women. You deserve death by slow slicing. Prepare to die!"

The bandit saw that the man was stubborn and thought he was a good pretender, so he said shamelessly: "What's wrong with killing people? What's wrong with sleeping with a few women? If I don't sleep with them, others will sleep with them. We are all bandits, why are we pretending to be noble?"

The people around him were ignorant and followed suit: "That's right, why are you shouting? Do you think you are a judge? The court doesn't care, so how can you come here to judge the case?"

Every word these two people said pierced Zhao Xi's heart. Yes, even if they were not there, there would be others. Chaos would breed chaos, and many people would want to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi was already furious. After a roar, he went straight up to fight with the man, aiming to kill him with every move.

The opponent didn't expect him to be so tough. After a few moves, he felt that he was no match for him, so he said quickly: "Do you know who we are? To tell you the truth, we are the Dongli Allied Forces. If you piss us off, I will let the general wipe out your nest."

After hearing this, Zhao Xi chuckled contemptuously: "I am the King of Jin, Zhao Xi, that one is the General of the Cavalry, Si Yan, and the other one is the current Third Prince. You can tell your general that we are waiting for him here!"

Then he gave the order: "Leave no one alive!"

Within an incense stick of time, the scene became quiet. Smoke was coming out of some of the houses, but it was not from cooking. Instead, they were burned down. The bodies on the ground piled up into a small hill, leaving only the person who had just shouted at Zhao Xi. That person had already run away, probably to inform someone.

The few living people left in the village hid, fearing that they would become like the ones before them.

Zhao Xi dismounted and looked around. Seeing the ruins, he felt sad. Zhao Qingxun and Si Yan were watching him not far away. No one spoke and let him wander around the entrance of the village.

Zhao Xi stood in front of a collapsed house, looking at a cloth tiger played by a child on the ground, and couldn't help but think of his sister.

When they were young, he and Zhao Ru both liked this kind of cloth tiger. Sometimes they even fought over it, and their mother had to make several of them at once before they would stop.

Zhao Xi bent down to pick it up as if possessed, but his face changed drastically after picking it up.

I saw a tender little hand under the cloth tiger, with only half of the palm exposed outside the soil.

It is not difficult to imagine that the child must have been having fun when he was crushed by the collapsed house.

Zhao Xi tightly grasped the cloth tiger in his hand, his eyes gradually turned red. The next second, he turned around abruptly and shouted, "Go back home!"

Zhao Qingxun followed and said hesitantly: "Uncle..."

Before he could finish, Zhao Xi added, "Go back and organize the troops. We will set out early tomorrow morning!"

 Alas, I failed the PK again. The writing is really not good T_T. After writing this book, I will never touch ancient Chinese literature again.
