Chapter 1835 The “truth” of death?
Cui Chong's rebuttal made Zhou Shan dare not say anything more and he lowered his head in silence.
Huo Changhe glanced at Cui Chong and signaled him not to get too excited.
Cui Chong took a few deep breaths, took two steps back, and said no more.
"Go on," Huo Changhe said, "Don't be influenced."
Zhou Shan still lowered his head: "Yes."
He was silent for a moment, and continued, "That day I was selected, and Major General... that is, Li Huanfeng. Because he is the son of Li Fangshan, we all call him Major General in private."
In theory, this was against the rules. Although Li Fangshan was already a deputy general at that time, he was not yet a general. As a general, his son could only be addressed by his military rank, not as a major general.
From this title, we can also see that Li Fangshan has high hopes for his son, and he cultivates him with great care and spends a lot of effort.
The people under him also believe in him.
Zhou Shan continued, "I was chosen to join the raid. Actually, before that, this operation was not approved by the higher-ups. Li Fangshan insisted on his own way and wanted to launch a surprise attack, but ended up getting ambushed."
"There is no other way to let Li Huanfeng break out. Everyone knows that this is a life-or-death mission. Li Huanfeng was chosen because of the lottery."
“When he was elected, many people also suggested re-election or replacing Li Huanfeng, but Li Fangshan refused.”
"So, how could Li Fangshan be a traitor?" Cui Chong couldn't help but shout angrily.
Huo Changhe glanced at him, Cui Chong pursed his lips, bowed, and retreated to the outer room.
Zhou Shan swallowed his saliva and continued, "At that time, Li Fangshan told Li Huanfeng that he was very reluctant to leave. It was very touching. Seeing this, the few of us who were accompanying him were also very excited and determined to die."
Huo Changhe understood this feeling and situation very well.
He had been at the border for many years and had experienced countless battles, both large and small. He had been through life and death several times and had once been besieged with his father, thinking that they were doomed.
The fighting on the battlefield, the faith, and the courage to disregard life and death all arise in that situation.
Huo Changhe seemed to be able to see that scene as he listened to Zhou Shan's narration.
Li Huanfeng was still young at the time. He drew a lot for a mission that almost led to his death. He did not retreat or cry for help. He resolutely mounted his horse and rushed towards the enemy.
The people who followed him to protect him fought bravely and escorted him forward.
They fell down again and again, and stood up again and again, covered with scars and blood.
Until, with one last effort, I could no longer stand up.
Li Huanfeng also fell among the enemy troops. His horse was hit by several arrows and had no strength to run anymore.
Li Huanfeng landed on the ground, still refusing to surrender. However, how could he resist when he was already covered in wounds and exhausted?
he died.
The people who protected him behind him also died.
Yan Ruyu felt sad and uncomfortable.
"Then why did you say that Li Fangshan intended to rebel?"
Zhou Shan continued, "Because I was not dead at that time, I was just exhausted and injured so many times that I fell unconscious. They thought I was dead."
"When they were cleaning up the bodies, I was dragged aside. I knew I had escaped death by chance, so I didn't dare to say anything. In fact, I couldn't move."
"At that time, I thought, I will still die, just a little later. In this situation, with dead bodies all around and serious injuries and no medicine, how can I survive?"
"Just when I was about to pass out again, I heard someone talking."
Zhou Shan raised his head. After a long time, there was still a look of astonishment in his eyes as when he heard the conversation.
"I heard someone whispering why he didn't save his son, but the man said it wasn't that he didn't want to save him, but his son..."
When Zhou Shan said this, his breathing became a little rapid.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and felt that they were about to touch upon the other side of the matter.
Zhou Shan calmed down and spoke slowly, word by word: "Li Huanfeng committed suicide."
Huo Changhe frowned.
Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly.
Cui Chong in the outer room could no longer bear it, so he quickly walked into the room and shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could he commit suicide?"
"He was full of passion and only wanted to serve his country and protect his people. How could he commit suicide?"
"You are talking nonsense, full of mistakes, I shouldn't have saved you!"
Cui Chong was so furious that he could not accept Zhou Shan's words no matter what.
Li Huanfeng was his good friend, and his early death was an unspeakable pain in his heart. Whenever he walked past the pub they used to go to, he would think of his best friend.
He would go to Li Huanfeng's grave to pay homage on his birthday and death anniversary, and he never missed a day.
He often comforted himself that although Li Huanfeng died young, he died a worthy death. Just as he had hoped during his lifetime, he would die on a battlefield and sacrifice his life for his country.
But what nonsense is Zhou Shan talking about now?
Li Huanfeng committed suicide? What kind of a joke is this?
This is even more ridiculous than saying that Li Fangshan is a traitor.
Cui Chong roared and Zhou Shan dared not say anything more.
Yan Ruyu gave Huo Changhe a wink, and Huo Changhe took Cui Chong out to the yard to get some fresh air.
Cui Chong must be feeling very aggrieved now, and has a lot to say, wanting to tell him everything about Li Huanfeng. Fortunately, Huo Changhe came to listen.
Yan Ruyu ignored Cui Chong and just looked at Zhou Shan.
"Zhou Shan, can you take responsibility for what you said? Every word is true?"
Zhou Shan raised his head, his eyes firm: "Princess, I can swear to heaven, to earth, to anything, that every word I say is true."
Yan Ruyu turned around and sat down: "Stand up and talk."
Zhou Shan hesitated for a moment, got up from the ground and stood aside.
"go on."
"Yes... When I heard it, I couldn't figure out what was going on. I thought I heard it wrong."
"I managed not to faint. My blood and the blood of the corpses beside me were all over my body. My head and face were also covered with blood. My eyes were all covered with blood."
"I vaguely noticed two people, who were talking in low voices. They were not far from me at the time. I recognized one of them, and he was the enemy general."
"The other one was wearing a black cloak that covered his head and face. Even though it was covered and his voice was low, I could still recognize it because I was so familiar with him."
Zhou Shan was silent for a moment, then clenched his hands and said, "That person is Li Fangshan."
Yan Ruyu frowned: "So, you didn't see his face, right?"
Zhou Shan said quickly: "Although I didn't see his face, I saw the back of his hand. There was a scar. He had one hand on the handle of the knife the whole time. That knife was also Li Fangshan's knife."
"That's not an ordinary saber, but a special one. He found the iron himself, drew the blueprint, and asked the blacksmith to make it."
"Looking at the entire military camp, there is only that one, so I won't make a mistake."
At this point, Zhou Shan added: "Besides, Li Fangshan never lets anyone touch that knife easily."
"Even Li Huanfeng can rarely move, so it is impossible that someone else is impersonating him."
Zhou Shan raised his head and said, "Princess, can't all this evidence prove it?"
"The face, is it so trustworthy?"
