Chapter 30: Ill-conceived

In Beichang City, above the main hall of the palace, the military generals of the civil servants are lined up on both sides, in front of them, there is a little old and sharp and vicious Qingtao, most of the generals who can stand on this hall are his henchmen, and the civil ministers were forced by his power at first, even if they were uncomfortable in their hearts, they had to be respectful and obedient on the surface. During the majority of the time that he controlled the entire Deep Blue, he also replaced at least a third of the Wenchen.

The hall was solemn, and the sound of a needle falling to the floor was clearly audible. At this time, Qingtao suddenly asked, "Where is General Bai Jie?"

Bai Jie heard Qingtao call him, standing in the second row on the side of the general, he moved a few steps to the left, stood fifteen meters below the throne, and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty is here, and Your Majesty will knock on the emperor. I don't know what the emperor has summoned his subordinates?"

"The general made an immortal feat for our empire a few months ago, in order to commend the general's military exploits, the emperor specially ordered someone to issue an edict, awarding the general as the commander of the dragon camp, since taking office, there have been a few months, I don't know what is going on in the dragon camp army, is the general still adapted? Before, because of the chaos of the thieves, I urgently pulled out the dragon camp 30,000 horses to go to the thieves, these soldiers and horses were taken away by Wanxing, the day before yesterday also came to the news of two battles and two victories in Baili City, it is said that the first game is to outwit Baili City, this second is the defense of Baili City, and also set a dazzling record of more than 10,000 people defeating 150,000 people. However, I heard that these two battles can be won, and it is very important that there is a young man named Bai Yu, in the defensive battle, he summoned countless fireballs from the sky with his own strength, this person's background is not clear, and Wan Xing also conceals it, I suspect that Wan Xing may rebel with this partner called Bai Yu, I hope you can lead a team, under the banner of commending military merits and reinforcements, help me find out, this time I will send you a general Jiuchuan, he will go with you, I hope you can do this more beautifully。 By the way, your family will stay in the city, after all, it is not safe to take it on the road, and you don't need to worry about the defense of the city, where is Ying Hu?"

"Yes, the last general will take the order!" Bai Jie didn't expect Qingtao to say so many polite words before, what did he mean in the words, until he said his true purpose, and he was so shocked that a cold sweat broke out on his back. Even if you borrow a knife to kill someone, you have to send someone to monitor you, and in order to successfully complete the task assigned by Qingtao, you have to detain your own family members, which is really unscrupulous. The implication is that if you don't complete this thing, not only will your life be in danger, but you may also take the life of a large family, which is not vicious.

"See the Emperor. "Ying Hu walked out of the third row of the generals and knelt down for Qingtao on the spot.

"Very good, after General Ying Hu, General Bai Jie and General Jiuchuan set off, the defense of the imperial capital will be handled by you for the time being, and the remaining dragon camp troops in the imperial capital will be managed by you. Qingtao said.

"The little general commands!" Ying Hu smiled slyly, happy in his heart.

After a while, Qingtao waved his hand and asked, "Do you have anything else to report?" If not, let's stop here today! Let's all go down and prepare!

After that, Qingtao left first, and the courtiers also exited the main hall in an orderly manner, at this time, only Bai Jie had a worried face, kneeling in place, no one cared about him, he couldn't figure out why he wanted to become a killing tool.

"What do you want, don't you hurry up and go!" Ying Hu pushed his back with his hand, signaling that he could go.

Out of the royal court, Bai Jie walked alone on the streets of the capital Beichangcheng, he felt that the people on the road looked at him very strangely, but he didn't care. After the scene in the main hall just now, his state of mind at this moment seems to have changed a lot, and he doesn't need to be careful, and he no longer thinks about it. After all, killing tools should not have thoughts and feelings, but he is a person, to be precise, he is a general, he has always felt that his mission is to be loyal to the dark blue, to protect the family and defend the country, after coming to this cold capital, all ideals are like a joke.

The panic lasted until it was getting dark, and he let out a long ** sound, looked at the sky, and closed his eyes again. As if he could filter out all the blood and evil, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes radiated a strange brilliance.

Ah, he said, "What am I doing here?" He touched his head, then looked ahead, "Why do I seem like a sinner......?" Everyone on the road looked at this man strangely: his face was pale and melancholy, but he didn't notice it, only the eyes were shining with a strange light.

In the inner courtyard meeting room, only Jiuchuan, Jiudou and Qingtao were discussing some unsightly things in private.

"Emperor, how about it, you say that my idea is good, right? Kill people with a knife, this Bai Jie is not our own person, just use him to help you get rid of Wan Xing and that kid called Bai Yu. This time, we must send someone to take care of his family, and we must not miss a person, this is a bargaining chip to control this person. Last time, this Wanxing was also very cunning, if he didn't have a ghost in his heart, why did his wife disappear in the mansion on this trip. Also, if it weren't for the news that our spy came back, saying that there was a person named Bai Yu whose origin was unknown, because his performance on the battlefield of Baili City was too special, and according to the news from our secret agent who was lurking in the Huayuting Inn before, this kid named Bai Yu was originally named Yufeng, and Bai Yu was just his pseudonym, and he also personally admitted that his true identity was the prince of the previous dynasty. This kid is what you told Wanxing to dispose of before, and he dared to go behind your back, obviously trying to do wrong. We just borrowed Bai Jie's hand to quietly dispose of these two people, on the one hand, we can't mess up the morale of the front line, on the other hand, we will deal with this worry for you. Jiuchuan said complacently.

After hearing this, Qingtao replied: "It seems that I didn't raise you people in vain, this idea is wonderful." If this Bai Jie dares to disobey the order, you will correct him on the spot. After that, he clapped his hands again and again.

The conspiracy and tricks have all been played on the table, these three people are very vicious, and I don't know what choice Bai Jie will make.

At this time, on the street of Beichangcheng, Bai Jie was mixed in the crowd, and no one recognized him. Several sergeants rode all the way from behind him, and rushed in front of him at once, Bai Jie, the superior, and they had met many times in the army.

"You foul-smelling boy, good dogs don't get in the way. Get out of the way, don't get in our way!" The sergeant who took the lead threw a whip at a beggar not far in front of Bai Jie.

Bai Jie heard the wind of the whip, and he clearly saw the movement of the whip. As soon as he looked up, he grabbed the whip in his hand, and as soon as he pulled it again, the sergeant fell from the flying machine and fell heavily on the ground. At this time, he heard the wind behind him again, he didn't have to look back to know that it was the sergeant on the side who was looking for trouble, he wanted to dodge, but his body couldn't keep up with his thoughts, snap, the handle of the knife hit his right shoulder hard, he felt his right shoulder sink, there was a trace of pain. As soon as he turned around, he slapped the sergeant to the ground. When a group of sergeants saw this, they were about to rush up, but as soon as they got closer, it turned out to be their superiors, and they instantly coaxed one by one, and stood still with their heads down.

And the sergeant who was pulled off the aircraft didn't care about looking at the person, he got up from the ground, he was angry, pulled out the long knife in his waist, and was about to stab Bai Jie.

With a snort, the knife stabbed deeply into the little beggar's back, and Bai Jie escaped. It turned out that at the critical moment, the little beggar rushed up and blocked the knife for himself.

Everyone retreated, and the sergeant stepped aside, not expecting to kill someone so easily.

Someone shouted, "Murder!" and the streets were chaotic and pedestrians scattered.

The sergeants looked at Bai Jie in horror, and he was still standing with both hands on the little beggar's body, and he was furious.

Bai Jie's face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Wasn't it very arrogant just now? Confess what you have done, what sins you have committed. I have written down every face of you, and if you dare to run away, I will send someone to arrest you all, and you will see people alive and corpses when you die!"

"Commander, I'm sorry......" The murderous sergeant saw the pale face clearly, it was his commander, his head was lowered, and most of the domineering momentum just now was gone, because he knew that what awaited them would be the harshest judgment in the army.

"I'm sorry, don't you think it's too late to say these things at this time? When you beat people with a whip just now, and when you commit murder in the street, don't you have this attitude? Killing people pays for their lives and bullying ordinary people, if I hadn't met them on the street, I don't know how many things you would have done that were inferior to beasts? I repeat, sort out military discipline, respectfully apologize to the people, and then roll me back to the barracks and accept the treatment!"

"Isn't it just a dead pariah, really, brothers, let's withdraw!" muttered the men, not realizing the seriousness of the matter, but after being reprimanded by the chief, they carried out the commander's order on the spot.

The road was full of blood from the little beggar, and he touched the little beggar's body, his hands and feet were cold, and his body lost consciousness after a while.

He knew that because he had helped the little beggar, the kind little beggar used his body to block the fatal knife for him. The beggar he met was just like his former self, probably an upright young man full of simple thoughts, and from the fact that the beggar had traded his life for his life since he was a child, he seemed to know his own future, and also knew what the real future of the empire should be.

He felt that his mind was blank, the sudden strangeness of this capital city made him afraid, the atrocities of the sergeants, the deceit of the court, as if there was a huge dark force that wanted to force him, to make him and her completely black.

After a moment of silence, he burst into tears, and walked out of the city with the body of the little beggar in his arms, all the way covered with the blood of the little beggar, who was also pale and withered. As he walked, he pondered.

He shook his head, walked in a trance, and muttered in his heart: "The future of Deep Blue shouldn't be like this, since this Qingtao controlled Deep Blue, if he doesn't do benevolent governance, everything has changed." The sergeants will become like this, and the sergeants should not be blamed entirely, but their superiors will have a bad head, and they will work up and down. And Qingtao wanted to use my family to blackmail me, so that I could become his killing tool, General Wanxing and that Bai Yu made war exploits, and he didn't make any mistakes, he actually wanted to slaughter them. I shouldn't have done what he wanted, even if I died with my family. ”

Outside the city, Bai Jie found a piece of land and buried the little beggar, although he didn't know what the name of the little beggar was, but he kept two words lingering in his heart: "Justice!" So, he set up a wooden sign in the place where the little beggar was buried, and the wooden sign read: Tomb of Justice.

Maybe that's the final answer he wants!
