Chapter 528, Seeking a solution with death
"Yuan Can, Yuan Can!" Xia Siheng squatted down and held him down together with Jing Er.
Yuan Can's eyes were full of madness, "Yuan Can wants to work for Donglin."
"I'm not Donglin's running dog... I'm not."
"Let me die... Your Majesty!" The man cried bitterly, not knowing how he had such a tragic fate.
The two voices he shouted mixed together, as if there were two souls in his body fighting fiercely for the power to dominate the body.
Such a strong contrast is enough to make everyone shudder.
"Calm down." Xia Siheng held his hands tightly to prevent him from hurting himself, and then said, "Your family asked me to bring a letter to you..."
Hearing this, the madness in Yuan Can's eyes gradually faded away. He knew that no one could save him.
Seeing that he had calmed down a little, Xia Siheng quickly asked Jing Er to bring the letter.
Yuan Can took it with trembling hands, and slowly opened the first page. What caught his eyes was his mother's familiar handwriting:
"My son Yuan Can, are you doing well recently? I heard that the Great Xia army is coming to the east. As the commander of the Five Battalions, it is indeed your duty to protect your home and country. However, a mother is always worried about her son when he is away from home. Even if your mother has selfish motives, she hopes that you will take good care of yourself when you go to the battlefield. Military achievements are secondary..."
"My son, your eye disease seems to have improved a lot, and I can finally write this letter to you. You have been away for more than ten years, and your mother has not been able to see you because of this eye disease. Your mother often thinks that you must have grown into a strong, resolute and upright man by now."
"When my son returns triumphantly, mother will be able to see him in person!"
This last sentence was like a huge rock falling from a cliff, hitting Yuan Can's heart hard. His heart was broken and he felt heartbroken.
His mother had been blind since he was a child. Although her eye disease had healed, she still...
His hands were shaking more and more. He turned to the second page with difficulty. It was a letter from his son:
"Father, I am not sure when this letter will reach you, so I will first tell you about my recent study. In a few days, I will take the palace examination. Before I passed the examination, I made many like-minded friends. When they heard that you were my father, they all took extra care of me."
"My father is a great hero who protects his country. I am very proud of you!"
"I heard that you are going to the east this time. I hope you take good care of yourself. When you return triumphantly, I will definitely present you with a great gift for your career. We must bring honor to our family and work hand in hand to defend our country together!"
The third page only has a simple line of words, which is what his wife said: "I hope you return safely!"
Yuan Can burst into tears, unable to hold back his grief!
He held the letter tightly in his arms, and the hot tears rolled down.
What should I do!
He really didn't know what to do!!!
This middle-aged general who was once full of blood, a hero in the eyes of countless soldiers and his family, now has completely lost his upright demeanor. He cried desperately and almost suffocated.
Until now, he still couldn't figure out what kind of change he had encountered.
"Prince..." Yuan Can's voice trembled, "I heard... Prince Yan can check the fate and cause and effect of this life, your subordinate..."
Xia Siheng turned around abruptly, only to see that Yuan Can had put the sharp knife on his neck.
He hurriedly raised his hand to stop it, his pupils suddenly shrank, "Don't..."
"Wow!" Yuan Can resolutely cut his throat, fell in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open.
He was still mumbling, "I want to seek an explanation..." I
want to find out why he couldn't control himself!
Since I can't find the truth while I'm alive, I'll seek an
explanation by dying!
"My treasonous behavior... has become an unchangeable fact. Now... I can only apologize by dying... But..." Yuan Can tightly covered his neck, and blood kept gushing out from between his fingers.
Xia Siheng squatted in front of him, his eyes red, "You speak."
"But... I have always firmly believed that I am... loyal to Daxia..., I beg Your Majesty not to implicate my family..."
"They have always believed... that I am a hero who defends my country..."
"My life ends here!"
Let his mission to defend his country end here.
He died in the barracks, but he is still a hero, and his parents are still worthy of pride.
If he goes back and is convicted, all the military merits and efforts he has accumulated in the first half of his life will collapse.
He thought that if he died bravely, his family could still stand up straight.
It will be remembered that he is still a hero!
Yuan Can's eyes widened and he slowly took his breath!
"Yuan Can!" Xia Siheng, who was always calm and composed, knelt in a pool of blood, his eyes closed, and a tear fell.
Why did this happen?
Could it be that there were such bizarre things in this world?
He caused the death of his good generals!
Xia Siheng knew that he could not save him. No matter what, the act of rebellion had already been constituted, and the only result was death.
"I will..." Xia Siheng took a deep breath, opened his blood-red eyes, and was filled with murderous intent, "I will make the person behind this pay with blood!"
No matter who was behind this, Yuan Can did such a big thing for Donglin.
This matter must be related to Donglin!
He stood up slowly, and Jing Er came over to support him.
"Your Highness, I have something to say." Although Jing Er was calm, his eyes were red.
"Speak."
"If what happened to Captain Yuan was done intentionally by a capable person, then what was his purpose?"
Jing Er's words instantly made Xia Siheng regain his senses.
Xia Siheng turned his head and looked at him, and suddenly understood something.
That person set up this game, and saving the King of Donglin was not the key!
Because they would not do anything to the King of Donglin on the way, they just wanted to drive him back to Donglin, and then take the opportunity to send troops.
The most important thing is that after they heard that the fifth battalion commander had rebelled, Xia Siheng would immediately lead his troops here, and there was no time to waste.
To lure him here in advance, or there would be a trap waiting for him ahead.
However, the King of Donglin only understood their plan when he was escaping.
So, there is only one result in the end!
It is to lure him away!
Attack the Ninth Prince's Mansion!!!
No!
It's a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
I'm afraid something has happened at home!
