Xie Feng raised his eyes and looked at me: "Miss Yan knows, what did I do when I went out today?"

"Didn't you go to Yangzhou and help him send a message to Wen Fengxi?"

"Of course, Miss Yan also knows, what kind of letter I sent. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ШЩЩ.(7)(9)XS.сОМ. ”

"He wants Wen Fengxi to surrender the city within three days, doesn't he?" When I said this, I only felt cold in my teeth, gritted my teeth and laughed: "But Wen Fengxi is not so obedient, and he is not an official who can coerce" and "lure", your wishful thinking may not be able to fight so much." ”

Hearing my sarcastic words, Xie Feng didn't want to explain anything, but continued: "Does Miss Yan know that in addition to 'surrendering the city within three days', what other message did Gongzi ask me to deliver. ”

I frowned and turned to look at him.

This time, he didn't stay too long, and he didn't really want me to think about it, when he raised his head to meet my gaze, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If Wen Fengxi doesn't surrender the city, three days later, we will capture Yangzhou and slaughter the city!"

“……！”

My brain buzzed suddenly, as if I couldn't believe my ears, and I suddenly stared at him with wide eyes: "What did you say?!"

My hand holding on to the 'bed' post tightened, and I couldn't help standing up: "Say it again!"

Xie Feng looked into my eyes and said word by word: "If Wen Fengxi does not surrender the city within three days, we will slaughter the city." ”

“……”

Massacre of the city?

Slaughter the city!

At this moment, I only felt that these two words were echoing back and forth in my mind, and all my thoughts were washed away for a while, leaving a blank, but a bloody 'color' suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and some terrifying scenes seemed to have been stationed in my heart in advance.

I hissed, "You're going to slaughter the city?"

"That's right, it's an ultimatum. ”

Xie Feng's face didn't have any expression, not even any temperature, but there were a few imperceptible hanging needle lines on his eyebrows, faintly indicating that this matter didn't want him to be as relaxed as when he spoke.

"Before, we have given several ultimatums to Yangzhou to persuade Wen Fengxi to surrender, but he insisted on going his own way and has been fighting with us until now. ”

“……”

"In fact, Yangzhou is taken down by us, it is a matter of time, according to the current battle situation, in less than half a month, or even ten days, we will definitely be able to capture Yangzhou. ”

I gasped, staring at him with red eyes: "Then why did you give this ultimatum to make him surrender the city within three days?"

“……”

This time, Xie Feng paused.

And I immediately understood, and said: "Because, the war in Yangzhou has dragged down your entire war, right?"

“……”

He still didn't speak, but his brow slowly furrowed and told me the answer.

He acquiesced.

My hand gripping the 'bed' pillar was a little harder: "Your war in the Central Plains—"

Xie Feng blinked his eyes, and seemed to feel that there was no need to hide it from me anymore, so he said: "I know that you already know our plan for the seventh day of the first month of November, and I can also tell you now that the battle situation is in our plan, and all the events are going according to our plan in advance. ”

“……”

"Huai'an, Yucheng, Chuyang, the government offices in these places have all been occupied, and those who are officials are not as good as Wen Fengxi - no, it's not that they can't fight so well, but the bones are not so hard. ”

My brow furrowed even tighter than his.

It's not just that he said, those officials' bones are not so hard, and they are not so good at beating Feng Xi.

Rather, it was Huai'an, Yucheng, Chuyang, all of which were close to Yangzhou, and although it never occurred to me that Yangzhou would have to seek help from these neighboring cities for its predicament at the moment, if they were all captured by the rebels, it would mean one thing.

Yangzhou has become an isolated city.

And, embattled!

My palms were already covered with cold sweat, and even the 'bed' pillar became slippery and greasy to hold, and my 'legs' went limp, so I sat down down along the 'bed' pillar again.

No wonder, Pei Yuanxiu dared to let Xie Feng pass the message, no wonder, he dared to let go of such cruel words to Wen Fengxi.

Because Wen Fengxi has almost no choice, Yangzhou City has become a lonely city, and it will fall sooner or later, if you really wait for them to fight hard, and then slaughter the city-

I shuddered.

I can't imagine that Yangzhou City experienced a massacre in the past, and the tragic scene of blood flowing and drifting and corpses all over the field has not been erased from the minds of the people of the Central Plains until now.

Massacre ...... How could he? How could he do that!

I raised my head and looked at Xie Feng, tears were almost pouring out, and I said tremblingly, "Mr. Xie......"

As soon as he heard me call him, he immediately subconsciously took a step back.

I hurriedly said, "Mr. Xie!"

“……”

"I know, I know you're not a person who treats people like a mustard, and you won't watch this tragedy happen. ”

“……”

"You mentioned to me the previous dynasty, then you understand very well what Yangzhou City experienced when the previous dynasty fell. ”

“……”

"It was an unprecedented killing, it was a tragedy that annihilated people's 'sexuality', do you want to let such a killing, such a tragedy happen in front of you, and it was driven by you?"

“……”

"Mr. Xie!"

Listening to my words that were heavier than the last, Xie Feng's eyes became heavier and heavier, and even his always long and orderly breathing became 'chaotic' at this moment.

I know he can't bear it.

As soon as I saw his unbearableness, I hurriedly struggled to stand up again, and said to him: "Mr. Xie, I know you can't bear it!"

“……”

He lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and finally slowly raised his eyes to look at me, his eyes showing a little helplessness in the deep darkness: "Of course I can't bear it." ”

“……”

"I also know that Miss Yan can't bear it. ”

“……”

"That's why I just said that I took a fancy to this weakness of Miss, so I came back to beg you. ”

“……！”

My breath sinked as I looked at him, "Please?"

"Yes. ”

At this moment, my heartbeat was inexplicably 'chaotic', even more panicked than when I heard him say that they were going to slaughter the city, and subconsciously turned my head away from his gaze: "What's the use of begging me?

“……”

"Don't you see that I'm just a living dead in a cage? ”

Xie Feng looked at me and said heavily: "Miss Yan's words, there are still some people who are willing to listen. ”

"Miss Yan's words, there are still some people who are willing to listen. ”

This time, I heard a little bit of his voice, and frowned slightly and looked at him: "What do you mean by that?"

"Miss Yan knows Wen Fengxi. ”

“……”

"Besides, it should be familiar. ”

“……”

"When he went to Yangzhou to deliver the letter this time, he also specially asked him about Miss Yan's current situation and warned us not to hurt Miss Yan under any circumstances. ”

There was a tingling in my chest.

That night, there was a big 'chaos' in Jinling Mansion, and after that fire was ignited, they should have come to the inner courtyard to meet us, but they only received Nangong Lizhu, and I did not appear, from that time on, Wen Fengxi should have known that my situation would not be better than before.

However, I'd rather they didn't know, they didn't know anything.

I'd rather everything hadn't happened.

Xie Feng could probably understand my pain, but he didn't see the entanglement in my heart, and he said softly: "Yangzhou City is captured, it is a matter of time, there are only two differences-first, when it will be captured. ”

“……”

"The second is what will be the situation in Yangzhou after the capture of Yangzhou. ”

“……”

"Actually, time doesn't mean much to Miss Yan, I think Miss Yan has always advised Gongzi not to talk about war lightly, in the hope of protecting the common people from the slaughter of war. So now, as long as Miss Yan comes forward, she can really protect these people. ”

“……”

As he spoke, he looked at me and said solemnly, word by word: "I hope that Miss Yan can come forward to persuade Wen Fengxi to surrender the city." ”

“……”

I never spoke again.

He probably understood that I couldn't open my mouth at this time, and after saying that, he stood in front of me, looked down at me, and waited for my answer without saying a word.

I don't know how long it took, I sneered: "Let me protect those ordinary people?"

"Yes. ”

I smiled and looked up at him: "Then why don't you come forward? You said that you want to protect those ordinary people, let me persuade Wen Feng Xiancheng to surrender? Why can't you persuade Pei Yuanxiu to let him not slaughter the city?"

Xie Feng's eyes flickered slightly: "I just said that time has no meaning to Miss Yan. ”

“……”

"But for us, it's different. ”

I took a deep breath: "You agreed to start your army on the seventh day of November, and now the war in Yangzhou has slowed down your pace, you need to take Yangzhou as soon as possible, and then you can go north and join the others, right?"

He said: "Miss Yan is really as wise as a torch. ”

I couldn't help but bite my lower lip.

From the moment he spoke of "time," I realized that they were in a hurry to go north, and that many of the state capitals along the way had been occupied by the powerful gentry whom they had instigated, but this occupation was temporary.

They must go north as soon as possible, gather all their troops and horses, and fight the imperial army.

Only in this way will they raise their troops, so that there will be no scattered wars, but the authority of a new regime will soon be established in the psychology of all.

My hands were trembling, and when I spoke, my voice was so suppressed that I changed my voice a little: "Do you think I will help you?"
