The porridge is very fragrant, plentiful, and very thick. It fully meets the standard of serving porridge with chopsticks standing upright.

With two big bowls of porridge like this, even a strong man can be full.

And An Yanbing is a weak woman, her appetite is obviously not that big, but she is eating desperately...

That kind of desperate eating is like the heroine in the movie "Invincible" in later generations, eating hard and stuffing it. Although the thick porridge does not need to be stuffed like pancakes, people still swallow the porridge in their stomachs when they are full.

It's also very difficult.

"I can't understand the way you eat..."

The general looked puzzled, his eyes flashing with inquiry, and said curiously: "Porridge is given here every day, and two bowls are guaranteed for every meal. For six months in a row, porridge has been given regardless of rain or shine. This shows the credibility of us Han people."

Very good, basically there is no possibility of temporarily stopping porridge, but why is your eating behavior like this?"

The general paused for a moment, hesitated and then said: "You look like you are worried about not having the next meal. But we have been giving porridge every day for six months."

Unfortunately, An Yanbing seemed to turn a deaf ear to his inquiry. She had already finished two bowls of porridge, and at this time, she started to lick the bottom of the bowl carefully.

She was really licking carefully, not letting go of any grains, until she licked the wooden bowl clean, then she held the wooden bowl and let out a long breath.

She bent her knees with difficulty, saluted the general, and then finally began to answer the questions.

"General, you are right. The reason why I am eating like this is because I really know that there will never be another meal."

Her face was desolate, and there was desolation in it. Suddenly, her eyes sparkled, and big tears rolled down...

She held the wooden bowl, raised her head and murmured, as if gibbering: "The Goguryeo people are so good at seeking death, that they really committed suicide. From today on, there will no longer be soup porridge. From today on,

From the beginning, there will no longer be benevolent government. After half a year, the patience of the Han people has reached its limit."

The general's eyes flashed, vaguely showing a hint of murderous intent.

This woman is so smart, she has guessed a lot.

The general reached for his waist and grasped the handle of his sword.

An Yanbing seemed to have expected it. She looked at the general's saber and sighed sadly: "Are you going to take action?"

The general looked hesitant, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand without pulling it out, and said: "You are too smart, and you have made me feel threatened. Ordinarily, you should be killed." "But you are very obedient, and you are the kind of obedient citizen my master calls me.

.As for the obedient people, the master said that they can be accommodated..."

"This makes me very confused. I don't know whether to kill him or to keep him."

The general hesitated again and said: "If I keep you, you are too smart. You can see through those strategies that the Goguryeo people can't see through almost instantly. For example, just now, I pretended to be helpless and agreed to the unreasonable actions of those Goguryeo people."

Those people were all very proud of their request, but you left the team without even thinking about it..."

"Not only did you leave the team, but you also squatted on the ground, assuming a supple posture, which made people feel pity."

"So this general knew right away that you have already guessed what we are going to do."

The general sighed and said, "Girl, you are really too smart. A smart person like you, especially a Goguryeo, will be in serious trouble if you keep him alive, and I will have to kill him."

He said he had to kill him, but he still didn't take action.

And An Yanbing didn't seem to have any thoughts of escaping. She just kept staring at the general's sword and asked in a low voice: "In that case, why don't you draw the sword?"

"Because the general is hesitating."

The general spoke bluntly and solemnly said: "As I said just now, my master has an order. All Goguryeo people who are willing to be obedient subjects will be the master's subjects in the future. You should love and protect your subjects."

An Yanbing nodded and said: "Little girl, I understand, it is not you who spared my life. It is the master you mentioned. He should be Lord Youyun Gu Tianya, right? Oh, by the way, I won't be able to live again soon."

Call him lord instead of king, because he wants to establish a vassal state."

A sonorous sound!

The general finally drew his sword.

He held the handle of the knife with one hand, swung it suddenly and said in a deep voice: "You leave immediately and stay away from my sight, otherwise I am afraid that the general will not be able to hold back his murderous intention. I really don't want to let a smart person like you go."

."

The sword was in his hand, the cold light was shining, and combined with the murderous look on the general's face, it was obvious that he was trying to restrain himself and might strike with the sword in the next moment.

An Yanbing bent her knees, saluted with a respectful attitude, and turned around holding the wooden bowl.

However, she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly turned back, with a sad look on her face, and asked in a sad tone: "What crime will those people just be executed for?"

The general's eyes flashed, as if he was unwilling to answer, but when he saw An Yanbing's miserable expression, his heart softened slightly for some reason, and he replied in a deep voice: "A group of mobs broke into the military camp with the intention of snatching weapons. They are like rebels."

No different."

Another big teardrop fell from An Yanbing's eyes, and her pretty face said sadly: "Sure enough, this is the crime."

She curtsied again and wanted to turn around and leave.

However, this time, the general did not allow her to leave.

The general suddenly stepped forward, blocking the way with his burly body, and said in a cold tone: "You are no longer qualified to leave."

An Yanbing stopped and said bitterly: "Is it because I asked about secrets that I shouldn't have asked?"

The general nodded, with some regret on his face, and said: "You guessed it, but asked it, but it's different. If you guessed it and didn't ask, then I can be soft-hearted for a while. But, you couldn't help but ask just now.

."

This is the sad thing about wise men.

There are some things that she has already guessed, but she still can't help but want to ask. It's just because she can't let go of the ethnic group in her heart, so she imagines that she guessed wrong. So she ignores the danger and asks, hoping to get something different.

Answer.

Unfortunately, the general's answer was exactly as she expected.

She also lost the right to leave because she heard the answer.

…

The general did not kill An Yanbing, but imprisoned her in a small courtyard.

And in this secluded courtyard, she was not the only one imprisoned.

For example, there is an octogenarian man with a giant saber beside him. The length of the handle alone is more than three feet long. This kind of weapon is obviously used for fighting in battle, and only a super general dares to use it. From this point of view,

It can be speculated that perhaps this old man was once a fierce general on the battlefield.

It was clear that the old man was imprisoned, but the strange thing was that the Han people did not take away his weapons. Even when soldiers came to deliver meals, they showed a hint of respect for the old man in their behavior.

Another example is that another prisoner was a middle-aged scholar. His room was full of books, and Han soldiers often gave him new books.

Whenever the soldiers presented books, the middle-aged scholar would always salute solemnly, while the Han soldiers would make fun of him and ask him if he could find a way to save Goguryeo from Han books.

The middle-aged scholar's answer was very strange. Sometimes he said he had found it, and sometimes he said he had not found it. This kind of answer seemed to be fooling people. However, the Han soldiers were not angry and continued to send him books. The books in the room became more and more popular.

The more heaps.

In addition to these two people, there is also a woman imprisoned in the courtyard. Although she is clothed in civilian clothes and has a hairpin, her behavior is extraordinary and she gives off a vague sense of royal nobility.

An Yanbing is the fourth person imprisoned.

…

Although this courtyard is not big, it is not harsh to imprison four people, and it is nominally imprisoned, but in fact there are no soldiers supervising it.

Only when it's meal time will soldiers come to deliver the meal. Sometimes the general will come in person, and when he comes to deliver the meal, he usually brings a bottle of wine.

That pot of wine was for the octogenarian old man to drink.

An Yanbing could tell that the general respected the old man very much. That kind of respect transcended ethnic barriers and was the pure respect a military general had for a military general.

Every time the general came to deliver food, he would say something jokingly: There are no soldiers guarding the door, and there is no restriction on leaving this small courtyard. If you feel the humiliation of being imprisoned, you can open the door and leave.

As a result, the four people in the yard never left.

An Yanbing vaguely understood that the four of them had special reasons for being imprisoned. It was precisely because of their specialness that they did not leave even though they knew they could leave.

For example, she herself is because of her wisdom.

She knew that the trend was irreversible and that Goguryeo was destined to become the territory of the Han people. Since the trend was irreversible, she had to find a way to save her fellow tribesmen. Even if she could persuade a Goguryeo to recognize the reality, she felt that she should persist in living.

She was willing to be imprisoned and stay in this small courtyard because she had a suspicion in her heart, and she became more and more certain that she would meet a certain person.

…

The reason why the octogenarian man with the giant saber was imprisoned was probably because of his reputation. An Yanbing guessed that it was because of a certain emotion expressed by the Han general.

That time, the general came to bring wine to the old man. When he was respectful, he sighed and said: "Even though you are an old man, you are still willing to fight for your family. My master once said that you are an out-and-out gentleman."

A great hero. Unfortunately, the great hero of the Goguryeo people is an enemy of the Han family..."

…

The middle-aged scholar with a room full of books must have been imprisoned because of his knowledge. An Yanbing once faintly heard him sighing at night, as if he was seeking hard but could not get it.

He was extremely depressed, tossing and turning all night long, and would often scream in the middle of the night, with a maniacal roar in his voice: "Why can't I compare to Gu Tianya? Why can't there be a Gu Tianya among the Goguryeo people?"

Obviously he was blaming himself, hating that he was not as knowledgeable as the Han Gu Tianya. If he had the knowledge of heaven and earth, he could lead the Goguryeo people to glory.

An Yanbing would feel sad every time she heard him scream, and wanted to tell this person a truth: knowledge is certainly important, but the rise of the Han Gu Tianya was not all based on knowledge. If those great figures in Goguryeo would also love the people like their own children,

Then Goguryeo may not have fallen into the miserable state it is today.
