Chapter 164: Faith Choice
Ji Xiuyuan walked over from behind him, holding a cup of tea in his hand, Chu Feiyan turned around and took the tea bowl and thanked him.
For this general, who may be the wisest and most benevolent in the history of Chiyan, this thank you is not hypocritical.
Originally, a general like him was very unpopular, no matter how high your official position was, how much glory you had, behind the scenes and others were extremely shameful, and often gave some embarrassment or humiliation.
But in the past few days, Ji Xiuyuan has taken good care of him, taking him to various occasions, letting him get acquainted with officials everywhere, and even introducing his wife to him, giving him enough respect. Now, at least on the surface, others no longer dare to despise him as a general.
The most important thing is that Ji Xiuyuan has curbed the brutal acts carried out by Yao Wuyi and others to the greatest extent, and he has also suffered a lot of pressure for this.
Chu Feiyan thought to himself that if it weren't for each other's identities, maybe they might really be friends with him.
Ji Xiuyuan has also been observing him, his every move is impeccable, whether it is in the face of the misunderstanding of the people or the ridicule of his colleagues, he can face it calmly, neither humble nor arrogant. Only when you are alone can you see a faint sadness and nostalgia in her eyes.
As an officer, he was far better than most of Chiyan's generals. Put yourself in his shoes, even if you can't do better in his situation.
Chu Feiyan looked at Ji Xiuyuan and said sincerely: "I feel both fortunate and sorry that the main general of this attack on Jinghua City is not a general."
"Oh, why did General Li say this", Ji Xiuyuan smiled.
Chu Feiyan sighed: "It's only a matter of time before Jinghua City is broken, in that case, I'd rather see General Ji enter the city than see the lives brought by Yao Wuyi far away."
"Then why are you glad again?"
"If it's you, the general, I think it will be enough to break through Jinghua City within ten days, and as for Yao Wuyi, that idiot is afraid that he can't do it. It is fortunate to be able to see the scene of the lost country a few days later. ”
Ji Xiuyuan laughed and said: "General Li is the only one who dares to scold Yao Wuyi in front of me for being a fool, hahaha." Then he said: "But since you have surrendered to Chiyan, it is a little inappropriate to say so."
Chu Feiyan pointed to the northwest direction, his eyes were complex and solemn: "That majestic city is our root and the belonging of our soul, if Li is the ruthless villain, General Ji may not be able to look up and down."
Ji Xiuyuan nodded: "But I still have to ask, why do people like General Li surrender, and self-determination may be the best destination for you."
"If I don't surrender, the people of this city will all die because of me, Haishan only hopes that the general can treat the people well, and it doesn't matter if he is infamous for eternity. ”
Ji Xiuyuan stared at him, always feeling that there was something hidden in the depths of his eyes, but he couldn't say whether it was good or bad. He stood beside Chu Feiyan: "Can you trust me?"
"Haishan still has this bit of judgment, and General Ji is a person who can be trusted and trusted. ”
"Well, I promised you that I would treat the people of this side well as long as I had me for a day, so you have no reason to continue living", his tone was flat, but it implied murderous intent.
Chu Feiyan shook his head and said, "But you can't protect Jinghua City now, if I have to give you a reason to surrender, it is that I hope to help you become the main general of the attack on Jinghua City, and take this immortal achievement in your arms."
Ji Xiuyuan was taken aback, he didn't expect him to have such high expectations for himself, and said a little helplessly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, this is Jing Shuai's decision, and I can't change it."
"Take me to see him, I can convince him!", Chu Feiyan said categorically, and for a moment, his originally dull eyes were full of infinite confidence, and the coercion that was as if there was nothing surprised Ji Xiuyuan.
This is one of the world-famous three heroes of the Stygian Water! Ji Xiuyuan suddenly realized that he still underestimated him, and at the same time, he finally let go of his suspicions. In its place was heartfelt admiration.
Even if he succeeded, Li Haishan would die with countless infamy, and no one would know what he had done for the Stygian Water.
"Okay, I'll take you to see him!", Ji Xiuyuan's warm gaze also became scorching, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it is worth a try.
"Leaving now?"
"Let's go now!"
When he left the city, Chu Feiyan looked back at the city gate of Hezhou again, his eyes flickering: Then it's time for you to make a choice.
Ji Xiuyuan thought that he was still worried about the situation in Hezhou City, so he said: "Don't worry, I have a strict order, Pang Deyi and others don't dare to come nonsense."
"That's good", when Chu Feiyan saw the few soldiers with frivolous gait on the city tower, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly followed Ji Xiuyuan.
It is said that Liu Hu and others have been locked up for several days in the dungeon, because they had previously confessed that they would wait for the "inspector" to interrogate them personally, so they did not suffer much, but they were gradually forgotten.
At first, Peng Liao and the others complained constantly, scolding that Lin Hong for his treachery, but gradually they began to become silent. The gloomy dungeon was tormented and dying every day, and the wails and screams kept them awake at night.
When they saw the baby killed in their mother's arms just for fun, when they saw the prisoners tortured and severed to their limbs bleeding to death, when they saw the former Stygian officers being forced to bark, they began to become frightened, angry, silent and helpless.
They learned from the prisoners who were bent on death about what happened in the city of Hezhou, and they finally understood what Lin Hong said that day: "If you lose your home, people are not as good as dogs."
They spent their days in boundless fear, their nerves almost collapsed, and it was only last night that the damn Lin Hong sneaked in, gave them a letter, and told them that tomorrow it would be up to them to choose whether they went or fled.
Then Lin Hong disappeared again, and just when they were about to scold Lin Hong for being a liar again, Pang Deyi really released them in person, and he was respectful and polite.
More than a dozen people were inexplicable, and they got out of the dungeon like this.
It turned out that before leaving today, Chu Feiyan borrowed the token of the inspector from Ji Xiuyuan for the sake of moderation, and Ji Xiuyuan gave it to him without thinking too much.
After Chu Feiyan found Pang Deyi, he drenched the dog he scolded without saying a word, and even slightly vented his evil anger for Li Haishan, telling him that the few people he arrested that day were the personal guards of the inspector.
Pang Deyi thought to himself that since the inspector was fake, the identities of those people he deliberately framed were indeed suspicious, and Chu Feiyan was holding a token, so he obediently let him go.
Originally, after coming out, the group still had disagreements, Liu Hu and Li Qiu advocated returning to the city to report the news and bring back the news of the Zhuge family's rebellion, while Peng Liao and others wanted to continue to flee to the wolf wasteland.
And when Peng Liao actually stepped on the streets of Hezhou, every step he took, his steps became extremely heavy, and the scenes that happened in the prison kept echoing in his mind, and the people in front of him were full of frightened and numb people, and the survivors were like walking corpses.
And when he finally walked to the central square and saw the blood-stained columns, he finally burst into tears.
"Let's go back!", at this moment the teenagers completed their transformation.
