Chapter 214 - The Man of Atonement
The southern gate of Tiger Roar City was broken, and the corpses inside and outside were piled up in several layers, and there were two circles of figures hundreds of paces apart on the city wall.
The outside kept rushing inside, and from time to time there were screams from inside.
A loud roar came from the crowd on the east side: "Sun Xi, Lao Tzu has taken a step first!"
In the crowd on the west side, Sun Xi was scarred, and there were only a dozen soldiers left by his side. He clenched the broadsword in both hands, and the ferocity of the trapped beast filled his eyes.
"Your name is Sun Xi, if you are willing to follow me, I can not only spare your life, but you can also have what General Shi has now!"
Shangguan's army dispersed, and Shi Qian followed behind the two. Shi Qian glanced at Sun Xi, not only did there be no heartache in his eyes, but there was happiness.
Sun Xi ignored Guan Moucheng's inquiry, and his eyes went straight to Shi Qian.
"Kill Shi Qian!"
More than a dozen soldiers who could only stand shouted: "Killโ"
Puff puff โ
Sun Xi's last dozen subordinates also fell into the corpse, and Sun Xi was caught between several spears and could not advance.
"Ahhh
Throwing the long knife at Shi Qian, Shi Qian raised his hand to catch it easily, holding the handle of the knife.
"Master of the house, let the last general persuade him. โ
"I advise your mother! Shi you brute! Without an adult, you don't know where you died, and now you dare to take advantage of the adult's absence to commit betrayal!
Shangguan Moucheng nodded and made a way out of the way: "General Shi, be cautious, you are more important than him." โ
"Thank you for your love!"
Shi Qian raised his head, the corners of his mouth quickly opened, and a smug smile quickly took over his face.
Gripping the fast knife, he walked quickly in front of Sun Xi.
"Sunโ"
"Poofโ"
Sun Xi shouted a mouthful of blood and saliva and sprayed Shi Qian's face.
"Hahaha-haha-"
Shi Qian's smile faded, he raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, patted Sun Xi's face, and his gaze and tone were domineering: "Without him, you wastes would indeed die, but I-no matter where I am, I will not get anything less than what I get under him!"
"Bah! With your three-legged cat kung fu, without the guidance of adults, can you have the strength you have now?!"
"If it weren't for him, I would be where I am now. โ
"Hahaha - sure enough, everyone who has done something against their conscience will find funny reasons to convince themselves. I'm strange, such a far-fetched reason, did you really convince yourself?"
Shi Qian's face did not change because of Sun Xi's sarcasm: "He also pointed you out, but you don't have the strength of mine, doesn't that prove what I said?"
A haze flashed through his eyes, and his face began to change slowly, the speed of change intensified, and the whole face quickly twisted together.
"I really don't understand why he is willing to give you waste more military power, but he has always been reluctant to give me more power!
"Is it because you are more able to talk and please him more on weekdays? What did he do, did I not follow him? And what time did I not fight desperately? Every time, I killed the most people, and I suffered countless injuries, what did I do for? What did he say?"
"Princely generals, hehe, you want to get princely generals, I-I may one day disappear from this world in some inconspicuous siege battle, just as I was inconspicuous when I came to this world. โ
Shi Qian let go of the long knife, squeezed Sun Xi's shoulders with both hands, and shook violently: "I don't want to! I want more military power, I want more silver taels, I want a group of wives and concubines, and a full house of children and grandchildren! I want a lot of them! But why won't he give it to me!"
The ridicule on Sun Xi's face had reached the extreme: "It's not that I won't give it to you, it's just that you're not satisfied! Among our more than 200 brothers, who has more wives and concubines than you?! Who has more silver taels than you?
"Accepting bribes, robbing people's daughters, and encroaching on people's land! Which one does not violate what the adults prohibit? Have you said about you? Do you think that others are really afraid of you and have not admonished you?"
"Oh oh!"
"Hahaha-if he gives me all those things, will I have to steal and rob them?! What do you know about this waste other than to please him?!"
Sun Xi shook his head, his face full of disappointment, not for Shi Qian, but for himself.
"I'm trash, I admit it. No matter what martial arts, stratagem, or what, the adults pointed out again and again, I just couldn't understand it. I can only hide my guilt and disappointment in myself, even hatred, with gibberish. โ
"Fortunately, the adults are willing to listen to my nonsense, and fortunately, the adults have not exposed my disguise. When everyone, including me, banished me, the adults always held me tightly and never gave up on me. Therefore, I have always warned myself that no matter whether others call me Sun Xi or General Sun Xi, I am Sun Xi, a sinner who has made a mistake and is fortunate enough to meet an adult!"
"Daguang, Ergou, Leopard, they are the same, they have not forgotten. We will spend our lives on redemption, even if we die halfway through. But even if we die, our souls will always have the face to go back to our hometown to see our mother, and hope that she will no longer wet her eyes with tears because of our unfilial son. When I was arrested and brought to justice, she stood at the head of the village and cried heartbreakingly, I am ashamed of my life!"
"We, oh - we, my lord, please, take our ashes back, bring them back to our old parents, bury them next to the house where we grew up, let us not leave our hometown again, never leave our parents again. โ
"Brothers, I'm coming. If there is an afterlife, let's stop being like this, be a good person, be open. โ
Sun Xi didn't move, and Shi Qian came back to his senses, but his face was guilty from time to time, but crazy.
"Don't pretend to be dead! Don't fucking pretend to be dead!
Shi Qian picked up the big knife on the ground and swung it at Sun Xi's neck.
"That's enough!
The long knife shook in the air a few times, Shi Qian's expression kept changing, and the madness and hatred in his eyes became more and more intense, and then quickly disappeared after reaching the extreme.
"Yes!"
Shi Qian threw the knife away and returned to Shangguan Moucheng and Zhong Qixi.
With his head lowered, the aura on his body kept changing. Zhong Qixi turned around and glanced at Shangguan Moucheng again. Shangguan Moucheng was also looking at him, his eyes were relaxed.
"Send this General Sun and General Zhang over there to Shangcho City!"
"Yes!"
"General Division, do you think we should continue to attack, or should we capture Shangcho City and Xiyu City first. If you attack the two cities first, how will you attack them?"
"Attack the two cities, first take the West Devouring City, which is already catching turtles in the urn, and then attack Shangcho City with all your strength after taking it! As long as you take Shangcho City, the Tiance Army will only be driven down to the sea!"
"Okay, then according to what General Shi said, you will immediately lead 50,000 troops down the Gongtian River and help General Xianshe take the West Devouring City!"
"Yes!"
When Shi Qian turned around, his eyes were as bright as snakes. After Shi Qian left, Shangguan Moucheng and Zhong Qixi climbed high and looked far away.
Zhong Qixi looked at Shangguan Moucheng, for the first time in so many years, he felt a strong self-confidence in him, and when he was happy, he was also worried.
"Master of the family, you must take the West Devouring City as soon as possible! Only 100,000 troops are outside the city, and they will be in danger for a long time!"
"I know, so I have sent another 100,000 troops from the three places, and the division will become the commander!"
"The minister - the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. โ
"Say it. โ
"Shi Qian, this person is not very useful!"
Shangguan Moucheng didn't reflexively, and waited for a few breaths before responding: "Why?"
Zhong Qixi's eyes were a little dim, and he turned his face to look away.
"His pattern is not enough to support his ambitions, and he will always be a betrayer!"
Shangguan Moucheng turned around and laughed: "Hahaha - it's the first time I've heard Qixi evaluate someone in such a sure and resolute tone for so many years. โ
The worry and eagerness in Qi Xi's eyes disappeared, and he looked at the official to seek the city: "The minister knows, and the minister will go to deal with the affairs in the city first." โ
didn't look at Shangguan Moucheng's eyes, turned around and went downstairs.
Shangguan Moucheng's gaze remained behind Zhong Qixi, until Zhong Qixi rode away on his horse, and whispered: "Alas, isn't there any difference between me and Shangguan Yuanba? โ
"But what if I'm wrong?!"
......
Finally, Qixi entered the ruined Tiger Roaring City, his eyes empty.
"Alas, how could I not know your plans for Moucheng, it is nothing more than to set up another general with absolute strength to restrain me. โ
"But we have been with us since we were sensible, have I ever deceived you once in the past ten years?
"But everything I have now depends on you. So even if you want to kill me one day, I will be killed, I just hope you can listen to what I said before and guard against the teacher. โ
......
From the battle at dusk to the starry moon, the battle in the west and the south of the city continued.
Peng Kanfu, Miao Ruizhi, Zhixi, and Ren Liangcai are the brothers who were scolded by Liu Changan before, and the remaining Yu Jiashu led a thousand people to garrison the banks of the Gongtian River.
At this time, all four of them were covered in wounds and stood on the city wall not far from each other.
Peng Guanfu, who was on the westernmost side, tore off the armor that had many cracks and threw it down the city wall indiscriminately: "Hahaha-cool!"
Miao Ruizhi held the long knife and scratched something under his feet. It makes a crunching sound that makes your teeth ache.
"How many people have you killed? Uncle, I cut hundreds of them!"
Zhi Xi looked down and quipped: "I only cut more than seventy, you cut hundreds, open your eyes and tell nonsense!"
Ren Liangcai kicked away the messy corpse under his feet, and he was surrounded by dense scratches.
"You're all too slow, I've cut no less than a hundred and fifty!"
"It seems that we are indeed slower, but there is no hurry, there are still many people outside! โ
Ren Liangcai picked up a person's head and smashed it towards Zhixi: "Lao Tzu, even if I am the first to die, don't think that the people you kid kill will have as many as mine!
"No, no, no, if the king of Hades is unhappy and doesn't let us be reincarnated, leaving us standing there, you don't care, I still have a lot of things I want to do in the next life. โ
"Hahaha-Zhixi, tell us what else are you going to do for the next life?"
"While the group of people who are in a hurry to die haven't come yet, you should say it quickly!"
Zhixi looked up at the cold moon and exhaled, and he could see white light in the moonlight.
"That's a lot, but I want to be a poet the most. โ
