Chapter 745: Becoming an Adult

Wei Chen nodded. For an hour, the old general meant to sit back and watch Huaiyang Town be breached, and the people in the town became a bargaining chip between the imperial court and the Huaiyang defenders. Then Xia Yan embraced the city and confronted the old generals...... If you are short of food, you want it directly. If you don't give it, you will cut down the people...... There is a shortage of beauties, and they are snatched directly from the town. Those who robbed the town stretched out their hands to control the generals' demands, and cut down the people if they didn't give it...... If the old general felt that he could watch this happen, he would not be afraid to delay for a while, and he would take off the hat of the judge for the defenders of Huaiyang Dao. Wei Chen said softly.

I used a tone that didn't have the slightest pyrotechnic atmosphere.

General Zhong Lao gasped.

"Nonsense, how can the army of the imperial court kill innocents in vain?"

General Zhong sat back and watched Xia Yan drive all the way, also because along the way, Xia Yan did not hurt anyone except for arguing for some food.

Therefore, General Zhong felt that things had not yet reached the point of tearing his face and killing each other. The best way is to have an intermediary to mediate the relationship between Huaiyang Dao and the imperial court.

Then they don't have to fight, so that the court can take off this rebel hat on their heads.

But listening to what Wei Chen said, it seems that mediation is impossible, but it will delay the fighter. General Zhong has not eaten for nothing all these years, and it is impossible for Wei Chen to really believe it if he says a word.

"If you don't believe what you say, General Zhong can send someone to investigate. At this time, Xia Yan must have sent scouts to visit around Huaiyang Town...... Among the scouts, there must be people who take the opportunity to do something to kill people and sell goods. That person must have been a subordinate of a lieutenant general surnamed Wang...... The man loves to kill the most...... The old general might as well take a closer look, since Xia Yan went all the way deep into the hinterland of Huaiyang Road, is it true that there are no people injured along the way? If these people are allowed to enter Huaiyang Town, the foundation of Huaiyang Town for several years will be destroyed in an instant. There was only one day in the next day, and he had no ability to reach heaven, and he could not ask for forgiveness for a moment. If the old general insists on doing this, there is nothing he can do in the future, there is something to be done, there is something to be done, the old general is a hero, is it necessary to be late in the future?"

General Zhong's face was very ugly.

Every day, I only heard reports from my subordinates, saying that there were no dead or injured people after the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

Can be based on Wei Chen's meaning......

The so-called people who were not killed or injured just didn't see the corpses?

Thinking of this, General Zhong Lao was a little uneasy.

He wanted to wait for Wei Chen's resignation before making arrangements, but after thinking about it, human life is the greatest, and General Zhong still ordered his subordinates to go down and check in front of Wei Chen, whether someone disappeared after Xia Yan's team passed.

The subordinates took the order and left.

While waiting, General Zhong's heart beat faster and faster, and he was afraid that he was wrong.

If he is tired of the people of Huaiyang Dao because of his so-called 'not doing things with his own people'. He, a general, is really guilty.

As an official, the first priority is to ensure the safety of one party.

If he can't even protect the people under the system, he is too derelict as an official.

“…… If you're right...... I will not sit idly by and watch my people being bullied. General Zhong said in a deep voice.

Wei Chen nodded, and waited silently for the result with General Zhong.

About an hour later, the subordinate hurried back. Just looking at the man's face, General Zhong sighed in his heart.

"Say, don't shy away from Lord Wei. General Zhong opened his mouth to command, and the man nodded and said very quickly. "The subordinate sent to ask. One hour and three moments can only find out the situation within a radius of more than ten miles...... After the procession of the imperial court, a total of seven people disappeared. There was no one alive or dead, and five of them were girls who had not left the cabinet, and two young women, whose families said they had gone out to the river to wash rice and vegetables. The general also knew that this place was close to the river, and the village women went to the river to wash rice and vegetables...... Some of the girls who had not left the cabinet went to find sisters in the same village, and some went out with their mothers, but they disappeared in a blink of an eye......"

General Zhong clenched his fists tightly.

Heptad.

And it's all women.

There are also five little girls who look like flowers.

"Villagers can report to the official. ”

"There are two reporters. In the past, there were occasional disappearances of hunters who had entered the mountains in Zhuangzi. As for the village women, most of them fell into the water, and their bodies would be found downstream in ten days and a half, so when the people were gone, the family members thought they had fallen into the water and did not report to the officials. The subordinate explained.

General Zhong nodded, he also knew the habits of the locals. The local people are simple, and there has not been a case of injury in the past few years, so if the person is gone, he is either injured by a fierce beast in the mountain, or he accidentally falls into the water and drowns in the river.

If only one person is missing in a village, it will not attract the attention of others.

But in several villages, seven people disappeared at once.

When you think about it, things are a little scary. General Zhong Lao waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to retreat first......

The old general was silent for a long time before he spoke. "I want that lieutenant general. Alive...... I, the people of Huaiyang Dao, even if I die, will also be buried in the earth. ”

Wei Chen nodded solemnly.

He could have sent someone to inform General Zhong Lao when he entered Huaiyang Road, but if he did that, he couldn't force General Zhong to send troops......

If Nuan Yu knew, he would definitely think he was ruthless.

But in order to protect more people in Huaiyang Dao, he can only do this. On the way to freedom, there will always be sacrifices. He didn't care about it before, but now he felt a bitter taste tumbling in his heart.

Wei Chen sighed softly in his heart. He wanted to become a demon, but he was turned into a human by Nuan Yudu.

Born as a human being, you have all five senses, you will be sad, you will be sad, and you will miss. He Wei Chen swore here that he would do whatever it took to protect the hundreds of thousands of people in Huaiyang Dao......

persuaded General Zhong Lao, and the remaining three did not need Wei Chen to come forward, and General Zhong Lao took the initiative to write a letter to invite. About the three of them to meet at Zhong's house. The left and right were also moved by Wei Chen, it is better to send the Buddha to the west.

General Zhong Lao left Wei Chen.

When Su Fanyi saw the Zhong family's little servant who came to report the news, the taste in his heart was quite mixed...... He visited several times, but was blocked back. said that General Zhong was not in good health and did not see outsiders. But the first time Wei Chen went, General Zhong not only met him personally, but also left Wei Chen for hospitality.

So what's so special about Wei Chen?

Su Fanyi couldn't help but look up at the sky, feeling that in addition to his appearance, he was inferior to Wei Chen, and he seemed to have a pair of eyes and a mouth, a pair of arms and a pair of legs, and there didn't seem to be much difference. However, how can the circumstances be very different?

After Su Gongzi sighed, he still beckoned his subordinates to go down and make arrangements.

If Wei Chen can convince General Zhong, he must act as soon as possible.

He, the 'bandit leader', also has to be prepared......

The distance between the generals is not too far, and the news can be delivered in two hours. So that night, the Zhong family held a reception banquet.

Followed by three generals......

Together with General Zhong, the four great King Kong guards of Huaiyang Dao finally saw it with their own eyes. In addition to the old general Zhong Yuxiu, the remaining three are, Feng Hao, Yuan Ke, and Ye Shuisheng. All of them are over thirty years old, among which Ye Shuisheng is the youngest, and this year is just the year of standing. When the three of them saw General Zhong, they were all saluted. In the past, when Qi Ling was there, several people would meet once a month, plus Qi Ling, everyone sat together to discuss some political affairs in Huaiyang Dao.

Since Qi Ling left.

It was the first time they had met.

Naturally, there are countless things to say.

General Zhong's old face, seeing several colleagues, finally had a sunny appearance. No longer gloomy, like a dry chrysanthemum.

Wei Chen has been standing beside General Zhong, his expression is very respectful, and at first the three of them thought that this was General Zhong's new subordinate. But if you take a closer look, this boy looks so good. This is certainly not General Zhong's subordinate. You must know that General Zhong Lao is a little strange in appearance, so he doesn't like to look like a good man, in General Zhong's opinion, the beautiful ones are useless, they are all embroidered pillows and a handful of grass, only the appearance is similar to General Zhong, five big and three thick men, that is the iron-blooded real man.

Fortunately, as a colleague, Mrs. Zhong is not so delicate and refined.

But if you want to worship under General Zhong.

The face must be bumped, the uglier the more popular.

Therefore, the person next to Zhong Lao will definitely not be Zhong Lao's subordinate.

This look, with me every day, is purely nothing to look for, how troublesome.

"This is Lord Wei......"

A 'guard' word. The three of them had different expressions, and in the end, Ye Shuisheng, who was the most delicate, asked out loud. "Wei Chen, Vice General Wei...... The Wei master who came with Xia Yan to 'settle the judgment'?"

Wei Chen actually has a very good reputation, and there are not many people with the surname Qi Guowei. There are even fewer officials.

The people from the imperial court, Xia Yan is the leader, Wei Chen is the deputy general, and they still know the news.

Therefore, as soon as General Zhong Lao spoke, Wei Chen's identity was undoubtedly exposed.

Hearing Ye Shuisheng's words reveal Wei Chen's identity, the remaining two couldn't help but show a look of defense. Although there had been speculation for a long time, the officials sent by the imperial court to judge them really appeared in front of them, and it was inevitable that they would be nervous.

General Zhong Lao motioned to a few people to calm down. Then Wei Chen's identity was introduced.

The son-in-law of the Chu family in the capital, the husband of the lord of Yuyang, and the half-son of the king of Huaiyang. Call Qi Ling 'Father'. This trip to Huaiyang Road has another layer of deep meaning. Dai Qiling took over the helm of Huaiyang Dao......

In other words, this Lord Wei is actually his own person.

General Zhong then told him and Wei Chen what he and Wei Chen had said one by one......

After hearing this, the three of them showed the same solemn expression on their faces as when General Zhong first heard it. Xia Yan had also been exposed from their jurisdiction, and they ignored it as well. Thinking that he wouldn't hurt people anyway, he could think about it again if he lost food, as long as it didn't hurt people's lives. However, they have not been carefully examined, and after the imperial court team passed, did they really not hurt anyone? Just like General Zhong said, there are no dead people, but no one is alive, and no corpse is dead.

"We were careless. If the old general is like this here, I'm afraid we won't be much better there...... After all, it is our rerelinquent duty. ”

The four of them exchanged information in private, and finally reached an agreement not to make a move against the people of the imperial court.
