1705 Deciding Life, or Death?

My hands were shaking, and when I spoke, my voice was a little suppressed: "Do you think I will help you?" ”

Xie Feng said in a deep voice: "I think Miss Yan will want to protect those ordinary people. ”

I said, "Mr. Xie thinks that I will protect those people, that is, in fact, you also want to protect them, so you came to beg me." Is that right? ”

"......" he was silent, not speaking.

I continued: "If you want to protect those people, if you still have such a conscience in your heart, then why do you do these things? ”

“……”

"If I don't promise you today, will you be one of the slaughtering knives when he wants to slaughter the city in three days' time?"

He was silent for a moment and said, "I won't." ”

I looked into his dark eyes and said slowly, "But you're not going to stop it, are you?" ”

He said: "The military order is like a mountain. ”

“……”

"Every step we take to the north may be his path to the throne, and every move we make may affect the war situation in the world and everyone who belongs to us. If he doesn't keep his word, it won't be enough to win the trust of the world. ”

“……”

"The letter has been passed on, how to choose, it is Wen Fengxi to do."

Speaking of this, he raised his head to look at me and said solemnly: "If Wen Fengxi does not surrender the city, I will not stop the slaughter of the city in three days!" ”

“……!”

At this moment, I looked at him, and the corners of my eyes were red.

"I originally thought that a person's martial arts cultivation would be the same as his moral cultivation."

“……”

"Mr. Xie has such strength, I thought that Mr. Xie would also be a person who has the world in mind and compassion for the common people."

“……”

"But I didn't expect that Mr. Xie would be like this - aiding and abetting."

These four words were like a red-hot needle, piercing into Xie Feng's chest, and I saw his brows furrow suddenly, and a clear trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

But soon, he suppressed his pain and raised his head to look at me: "Miss Yan thinks that I am a person who aids and abuses?" ”

“……”

"Miss Yan thinks that if Pei Gongzi succeeds and ascends the throne as emperor, will he be a prince of the Emperor?"

The King of Evil.

This time, these four words were like sharp needles, piercing into my 'chest'.

My whole body trembled, but I didn't speak, and Xie Feng frowned and kept looking at me: "Do you really think so?" ”

I turned my head away from his gaze: "It doesn't matter what I think. ”

"It matters."

Xie Feng looked at me with a frown: "I want to know what you really think." ”

I said lightly: "He's already going to slaughter the city, and you're still asking me what I really think?" ”

"But now that the arrow is ready to be fired, I think whoever goes this far, can only use this method to achieve victory, and it will be a success."

"One will succeed, ten thousand bones will wither......"

"That's right," he said, "now we are facing a war, an extraordinary period, and it is not surprising that extraordinary means are used, and you cannot just assume that he will ascend the throne in the future, and will not be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people." ”

“……”

I lowered my eyelids and said slowly, "I can't believe what is in front of me, how can you make me believe that it hasn't happened yet?" ”

“……!”

Xie Feng was slightly stunned.

At this moment, he seemed to be a little 'messy'.

I raised my eyes to look at him, and said with a little coldness: "Xie Feng, I don't know who you are, you know the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms, you know more about the affairs of the previous dynasty than many people; Why do you want to help Pei Yuanxiu, what is your purpose, I don't know at all. But I can only tell you that what I know, hear, feel and think, so that I can't stand on his side, on your side. ”

He fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, he took a long breath, and when he opened his eyes again, I saw that his eyes had faded away from the previous entanglement and doubt, as if he was still firm in something, and said to me: "Then, let's just talk about the present." ”

“……”

"Miss Yan, there are only three days, and thousands of people in Yangzhou, their 'sexual' lives are hanging by a thread, just see what kind of decision Wen Fengxi will make."

“……”

"And this decision is something you can influence."

“……”

"Do you want Wen Fengxi to make a decision, is it life or death?"

“……”

That night, Pei Yuanxiu came to my room again.

It's just that he came much later than usual, and I had already gone to bed to rest, but all kinds of thoughts made my heart 'confused', and there was no way to fall asleep, and at this moment I heard the sound of him pushing the 'door' in.

My shoulder twitched subconsciously.

He slowly walked to the 'bed', bent down to look at me for a while, I slept with my back to him, facing the wall, but he still felt my wakefulness, he smiled, suddenly blew out the candlestick on the side, got on the 'bed' and opened the quilt and got in, two hands around my waist, and the warm body was pasted over.

I was as stiff as a stone.

I was afraid that he would do something, but he seemed to be very tired tonight, so he didn't do it again, just put his chin on my shoulder socket, and whispered to my ear, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

“……”

"Is it uncomfortable to see the wind during the day?"

Usually at this time, I would bite my lower 'lip', desperately pretend that I was asleep, and refuse to do any 'communication' with him, but tonight I can't do it, the words Xie Feng said to me during the day echoed in my mind all the time.

I didn't look back, I just maintained the posture of being held tightly in his arms, and said slowly: "Three days later, will you slaughter the city in Yangzhou?" ”

The long breath in his ears suddenly paused.

After a long silence, he said, "Who told you?" ”

“……”

"Xie Feng?"

“……”

"He came to you, and that's what he told you?"

I didn't answer this question, but gritted my teeth: "Suddenly, three days later, Wen Fengxi surrendered without sacrificing the city, will you really slaughter the city?" ”

“……”

He was silent for a while, and then said, "The military order is like a mountain. ”

This time, I finally turned my head to look at him uncontrollably, and in the darkness, I couldn't see the expression on his face, only the eyes flickering slightly in the dark.

It's cold to the bone.

I trembled and said, "Do you know how many people are in Yangzhou City? ”

“……”

"You're going to kill them all?"

“……”

"Are you really going to do that?"

In the darkness, his breath slowly blew on my face, and he said clearly, "I don't have to kill them." ”

“……”

"I gave them the choice to live."

“……”

"But if they have to choose another path, it's not my responsibility."

Probably feeling the chill in his words had penetrated into my body, my whole body trembled, his hands hugged my waist tighter, almost embedded my whole body into his arms, and whispered softly to my ear: "Light, you don't care about these things." ”

“……”

"It's late, go to sleep."

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes.

But I can't help it.

As soon as I close my eyes, in the darkness where I can't see my fingers, I will see the spread of blood, and I will see countless civilians being slaughtered.

I let out a low cry of stabbing and woke up from that nightmare.

"Ah——!h

Before I could wake up from the dream, I was hugged, and as soon as I looked up, I felt his breathing, Pei Yuanxiu hugged me tightly, and one hand 'touched' my forehead full of cold sweat: "What's wrong with you?" ”

“……”

"Have a nightmare?"

“……”

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

My fear was beyond measure, although his 'chest' was strong, his arms were warm, and when he was hugged by him, it was like a small boat docked into a harbor, but just now in the most terrible picture of the dream, I could feel his eyes, looking at everything coldly, and also looking at me coldly in all the bloody pictures.

I subconsciously tried to break free from his embrace, but he held me tightly.

It wasn't until my breathing slowly calmed down and my heartbeat stopped aching that he loosened a little, turned around and lit the candlestick next to the bed, looked back at me in a cold sweat, and was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he frowned: "What's wrong with you?" ”

I gritted my teeth and said softly, "You let me go to Yangzhou." ”

“……”

He was momentarily unresponsive.

Probably thinking that this sentence was too unbelievable, it was already unbelievable to the point that his thinking was unacceptable, and after a while, he still looked at me, and there was a clear hint of caution in his eyes.

I still said to him, "You let me go to Yangzhou." ”

This time, his eyes flashed, as if he understood.

He said, "What are you going to do?" ”

I lowered my head: "I'll go and persuade Feng Xi." ”

“……”

"I'll go and persuade him."

“……”

"If you can't change your decision, then I'll just go — try, change his decision."

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "You want to persuade him to surrender the city?" ”

I smiled wryly: "Does he have any other options?" ”

“……”

"The people of Yangzhou City, do they have any other way to live?"

He said, "He may not listen to you." ”

I raised my eyes to look at him, and his gaze was cold: "I think he will live and die with Yangzhou City." ”

I know that he is not untargeted, and I know that he sees people much more accurately than I do, and in this matter, even I cannot refute his opinion.

I lowered my head and said softly, "I never thought that I could change the world and change others, I never did. ”

“……”

"I can only do what I can."
