Chapter 69: Mourning is greater than death

"Yo, what are you talking about? Who said there were no more reinforcements? . Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the corner. Ye Mo turned his head in some surprise and saw Si You with his arms folded in front of his chest and leaning against the wall.

"Dean!" Several Ziyang Academy students shouted in surprise.

"Master Siyou." As soon as He Ping wanted to salute, Si You raised his right hand, and an invisible force helped He Ping's originally bent waist up.

"A few little guys can't do it, beyond my expectations." Si You narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, nodded and praised.

"Lord Si You, Lord City Lord, he..." He Ping asked the question he was most concerned about. He has partnered with the city lord of the border city for many years, and the relationship between the two has long been no longer a simple colleague, but a deep brotherhood.

Si You sighed, shook his head and said, "He was already dying before the explosion, and when the masked man blew himself up, he dragged the enemy's two high-level magicians to die together."

When He Ping heard this, his face that was slightly ruddy instantly turned pale, and his legs were even weaker, and Liang Tianwei hurriedly helped him.

He Ping took a long breath and waved his hand at Liang Tianwei, signaling that he could stand, Liang Tianwei hesitated and withdrew his hands.

He Ping bowed to Si You Shen and said in a choked voice, "Please ask Lord Si You to ask Your Majesty to bury the city lord." ”

Si You's face turned grim, and he said: "Legion commander, you should be clear, if the border city is lost, even if Your Majesty knows that the city lord deserves a thick burial, it will be impossible. Now, our goal is to prevent the border city from falling completely until reinforcements arrive. ”

"Are the reinforcements really back? When? Ye Mo was a little puzzled, listening to He Ping's story just now, it was very likely that there were no reinforcements at all.

Si You glanced at He Ping, and seemed to be a little unbearable to say, but after thinking about it, he still explained the reason.

"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty had actually anticipated this war, and had mobilized the legions to garrison the vicinity of the Formation in advance. As soon as the news of the attack on the border city was received, then troops were sent to rescue it the next day. ”

"The next day... Day 2! Why not come to the rescue now! Why! He Ping raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and he asked Si You loudly.

Si You looked at He Ping with some pity, and didn't care about He Ping's rudeness. He said slowly: "His Majesty the Emperor does not intend to stop after defeating the enemy, so he needs a reason that is enough to provoke a war between the two countries. This time the enemy sent the reason in front of him, and His Majesty the Emperor was naturally willing to accept it. ”

When He Ping heard these words, as if the strength of his whole body had been drained, he staggered back a few steps and sat on the bed all of a sudden. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. The room was suddenly silent, and the atmosphere was particularly heavy.

After a while, He Ping muttered: "His Majesty the Emperor has the ambition to unify the whole continent, and those of us who are courtiers should follow His Majesty to expand the territory. But... But! Speaking of this, He Ping's eyes were closed, tears slipped down his temples, and his voice was full of grief. My subordinates, the lord of the city, and the people of the border city, should they die?! ”

"He Ping!" The driver shouted!

Frightened, Ye Yu, Ye Mo, Liang Tianwei was full of excitement, and He Ping was also shocked.

He Ping wiped away his tears with his sleeve, stood up and bowed to Si You again. Master Xie reminded. Be... The subordinates trespassed. ”

After speaking, He Ping straightened up, his face was a little abnormal calmly, and he turned around and walked out the door.

"War requires grief and hatred." Si You said in a deep voice before He Ping went out.

"Please don't worry, my lord, I, He Ping, am still His Majesty's courtier. His Majesty asked the minister to do whatever he wanted, and the minister did it. ”

Even though they are words of loyalty, they are spoken in a calm tone, but anyone can hear the emotion called "despair" contained in the words.

After speaking, He Ping walked out of the door of the house.

"Dean..."Ye Mo opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

The scene just now gave him a great shock. The lord of the city and the commander of the army He Ping were both courtiers who had done their best for the empire, but they were ruthlessly "abandoned" in front of the interests of the country, just as an excuse to start a war.

"The most ruthless emperor's family." Ye Yu said softly, grabbed Ye Mo's cuffs with his hand, and motioned to Ye Mo not to say any more.

"......" Ye Mo glanced at his sister complicatedly, resisted the urge and kept silent.

"You guys, come back to the academy with me." Si You walked to the side of the bed, staring at Ye Mo with his eyes and said.

"Has the trip to the Western Continent been cancelled?" Liang Tianwei, who had not spoken, was a little disappointed in his tone. Speaking of which, it seems that he is the one who is most looking forward to this trip.

"Not really." Si You said with a smile.

"Now that we're about to go to war with the Western Continent, how can we go to the Western Continent?" Ye Yu raised a very practical question.

"What do you think is the difference between this actual battle in the border city and the usual internal competition in the academy?" Si You still asked with a smile.

"But don't be big... It's dangerous, but I've improved a lot. Ye Mo thought for a moment and replied, as if he had suddenly thought of something, Ye Mo asked in surprise: "Could it be that Dean, are you going to let us go to war?" ”

"That's right, it's not just you, after the border city is recovered this time, I will mobilize the students in the academy to form a team to participate in the battle. His Majesty the Emperor would not refuse this matter. Si You nodded with satisfaction.

"What about security? How is it guaranteed? Ye Mo continued to ask.

"Ye Mo, you have to understand one thing, no one on the battlefield is necessarily safe. War is to the death! But the academy won't let you die, the academy will send teachers to ensure your safety. In fact, the effect of this mobilization may not be too good, and the forces and families behind the students of our academy are not easy to handle..."Si You pinched his chin, as if he was thinking about something.

"It's... What a nonsense! Ye Mo shook his head vigorously, "Take a few of us as an example, if it weren't for the two Bibo Prison Scrolls on my body, Ye Yu and I would have died here." ”

"I've left a mental imprint on you for a long time, and you've been under my surveillance for a few moments. If I had judged that you were going to die, I would have protected you. Liang Tianwei should have experienced this. Si You shook his head and said.

"Let's wait for the notice when I return to the academy, I still have to be responsible for convincing the two old guys, it's a real headache." Si You scratched his hair
