Chapter 277: A dilemma

"Bastard! Who is doing the ghost behind my back, let me catch him, I have to tear him alive!" Shen Tujie read all the urgent military reports, he was furious, his eyes were fierce like a demonic beast, and a group of officers under his command were all looking at each other, how dare they touch his moldy head at this time.

At this moment, another herald outside: "Report: Pingxing City, Wuhua Prefecture is trapped, please rescue quickly!"

"......Boom" Shen Tujie burst into a sky-high momentum, the table in front of him was all overturned, and the people around him also stood unsteadily, and retreated.

"Rubbish, it's all rubbish!" Shen Tujie was furious: "Who is it? Who dares to besiege Lao Tzu's people! Come on, order all the soldiers and horses, Lao Tzu is going to cut people!"

"The general is angry!" An officer under his command hurriedly persuaded: "General, the war between Dark Flame and Tianlan is imminent, let's guard Tianqing, the most important thing is to ensure that the battle line is stable, don't be impulsive!"

"The impulse of fart! are blocked by people, Lao Tzu doesn't cut them all into pulp, it's hard to solve the hatred in my heart!" Shen Tujie was still furious.

Another officer rolled his eyes and said in a different way: "General, think about it carefully, at this juncture, who will come to Tianqing to make trouble? It is a sneak attack and a siege of the city, this clearly wants us to mess with ourselves, we must not be fooled!"

Shen Tujie calmed down a little bit of anger: "What do you say?"

The officer breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "General, if Tianlan mobilizes the army, it is impossible for us not to receive the news, the other party is deliberately harassing everywhere in Tianqing, just to create a situation of being attacked everywhere, if we adjust the deployment accordingly, we will fall into their trap." ”

Shen Tujie has been marching for many years, and he also understands the stakes, so he asks rhetorically: "Then what do you say you should do? You can't ignore it, Lao Tzu can't swallow this breath!"

The officer sneered and said: "General, you have forgotten the Tianqing military horse that has just completed the reorganization, although it is not an elite, it is just right to carry out these expulsions to quell the chaos, anyway, it is not our own people, and it is not a pity to die!"

Shen Tujie slapped his thigh and said with a cruel smile: "It's still that you kid has a lot of ghost ideas! Those Tianqing military horses consume so much grain and grass every day, Lao Tzu will be upset when he sees it! How can there be a reason to just eat and not work, so he will send them to the field! Are they all implanted with corpse Gu? Can't be too cheap for them!"

An old man with a gloomy face stepped forward from among the officers: "General Qiqi, it is only half completed at present. The main reason is that the number of Tianqing refugees captured is too small, and the cultivation of corpse Gu can't keep up with the progress!"

"Pass the order! Let that Dongfang Shun sacrifice another thousand refugees! Five days, no, it must be completed within three days!" Shen Tujie waved his hand, deciding the life and death of thousands of people.

The military order was like a mountain, and Dongfang Shun and Zhao Huahan, who were also stationed in the imperial city, received the news at the same time.

"What, do you still want to arrest people to raise corpse Gu? No, when the people of Tianqing are all livestock?" Zhao Huahan waited until the herald left, then he was furious, and pushed all the ornaments on the tables and chairs around him to the ground, venting the resentment in his heart.

Dongfang Shun's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he said with a wooden face: "Your Highness, they are just some grass people, for the continuation of the Tianqing bloodline, you must learn patience and restraint!"

Zhao Huahan laughed as if crying: "Patience and restraint? Now that I think about it, it is better to assist my father and the emperor to fight to the death than to be a puppet!"

The grim expression on Dongfang Shun's face flashed for a moment, and then he continued to comfort: "Only by living can there be hope!

"Live, haha, live! Yes, I am Your Highness, how can my life be compared to these grass people, it is not a pity for them to die! One thousand is not a big amount, so I simply sacrifice two thousand at a time, so as to save trouble in the future! Catch, catch, catch......

The fate of thousands of people was determined without knowing it, and the 10,000 Tianqing soldiers who had been implanted with corpse Gu in their bodies were also driven out of the imperial city, and followed the team in front of them aimlessly with blank faces......

"It's not that Shen Tujie is a reckless man, why has he not moved for so many days? It has caused Lao Tzu to hide in a hole in the ground and not see the light of day!" Hu Hefeng shook out a lot of dust from his collar and scolded loudly.

Tang Lang comforted: "Brother Hu, although Shen Tujie is reckless, there must be someone around him who gives him advice, and it must be that the movement made by others is not big enough to lead the snake out of the hole." Didn't we send 10,000 Qing troops to support yesterday, maybe next time it will be the headquarters of the Li Feng Legion, and I will endure it for a few more days!"

A few days ago, Hu Hefeng and Tang Lang led their men to sneak into the mountains northwest of the imperial city, digging tunnels as temporary stations, and the scouts sent continued to report back to the imperial city's movements, but they never waited for the opportunity that Zhai Wu hoped for.

While he was talking, a scout hurriedly walked in from outside, glanced at Tang Lang, and looked like he wanted to say something.

Hu Hefeng was angry, and his temper was about to flare up again: "If you have a fart, let it go, Tang Lang is your own brother!"

The scout could only arch his hand and say: "Report to the boss, Tang Shihu, since late last night, different numbers of refugees have been captured on various roads near the imperial city, hundreds of them, dozens of them, and I am afraid that there are already thousands of people!"

"Oh, could it be that he wants to strengthen the defense of the imperial city and capture the people!" Hu Hefeng asked himself.

"No!" the scout continued, "The captured refugees are men and women, old and young, and they are certainly not strong men!"

"So?" Hu Hefeng didn't know what the Li Feng Legion was doing, and cast an inquiring glance at Tang Lang.

Tang Lang was also desperately thinking about the intention of the other party's move: "Are you going to use them as cannon fodder during the siege of the city...... Not good!" He suddenly remembered the scene of the gloomy-faced old man raising corpse Gu larvae on a living person in the black tent in the Dark Flame Camp, and cried out in a lost voice.

"These people must have been captured to raise corpse Gu, we must go and save them!" Tang Lang prepared to rush out without hesitation.

But he was stopped by Hu Hefeng: "Tang Lang, what are you going to do, you can't rush out!"

"Brother Hu, first of all, these people are all my compatriots in Tianqing, and we can't see death without help, and secondly, if more corpse Gu is cultivated by the dark flame, our situation will be even worse!" Tang Lang shook his head and said.

"Tang Lang, your current identity is a Xuanjia soldier, and the military order is like a mountain, you must obey it!"

"No......"

The two stared at each other and refused to give in to each other, and in the end, Hu Hefeng was defeated: "Tang Lang, I can understand your distress, but we are now carrying out military orders, and we can't let the brothers fall into a crisis because of your willfulness! In this way, I will ask Zhai Wu first and see what he has to say!"

"Okay, Brother Hu, I'll wait for you! But if Zhai Wu doesn't agree, you can take Zuo Xiaowei's brothers and leave first, and I and the rest of the brothers will sneak into the imperial city to save people, even if I know it's a trap, I'll try!"

"You ......" Hu Hefeng didn't expect Tang Lang to be so stubborn, and he didn't want to continue arguing with him, so he opened the communication formation and got in touch with Zhai Wu.

"Hefeng, it's not the prescribed contact time, what are you looking for me?" Zhai Wu's face was like frost, and he asked in a cold voice.

Hu Hefeng sighed and said: "Lao Zhai, we found that Shen Tujie captured many Tianqing refugees and came back, Tang Lang guessed that he was going to refine more corpse Gu and wanted to save people, I said that I couldn't move him, you help me persuade him!"

"Persuasion, this is the army, not child's play, everyone must obey the order, and those who violate the order will be killed!" Zhai Wu did not have the slightest room for negotiation.

"Zhai Baihu!" Tang Lang said loudly to Zhai Wu on the other side of the communication formation: "I didn't deliberately violate the rules, but the people of my homeland are in trouble, and I can't stay out of it! If the timing is right, I'll save people, and I don't want to die on purpose!"

"There is no room for bargaining! Do you know how much effort the rest of the brothers have made in order to create an opportunity to be beheaded, and how many casualties there are? How can you be ruined because of your actions alone! If you want to be a hero, don't drag others to death! Hu Baihu, arrest Tang Lang for me, if he still wants to make trouble, he will be beheaded directly!" Zhai Wu's tone became even tougher and colder.

"Tang Lang, you heard it yourself, it's not that I don't help you, it's that the military order is difficult, don't make me embarrassed! I promise you, as long as you have the opportunity, you will definitely save some more refugees back, so it's always okay!" Hu Hefeng lowered his voice, almost pleading, not wanting Tang Lang to make things out of control.

"Hehe, it's me who is too naïve, I always thought that Tianlan would treat us equally! If it was Tianlan people who were arrested today, the two of you would definitely not treat us like this, and Tianqing is just a small subordinate country, and Tianqing people are like grass mustard. People, only if you are strong is the most reliable!"

Tang Lang couldn't help sneering: "Brother Hu, thank you for your care, say it to Boss Cha for me, and thank him too! From now on, Tang Lang is Tang Lang, and he has nothing to do with Tianlan, the brothers outside, if they are willing to go with me, no one can stop them, and if they don't want to go with me, I won't force it!"

"Presumptuous, you are a mutiny, you deserve ...... crime," Zhai Wu roared at the other end of the communication formation.

But before he could finish speaking, Hu Hefeng hurriedly closed the formation: "Are you crazy?

Tang Lang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Hu, you don't have to cover up for me! I don't want to encounter this dilemma, but since I have encountered it, if I don't make a choice, I won't be able to forgive myself in this life, and neither Filipino nor Zilan will forgive me!"

"Do you really want to do this?" Hu Hefeng said in a deep voice.

"This can only be the case!Brother Hu, I'll go outside to form a team, I will set aside half a day, you hurry up and join Zhai Baihu and withdraw from Tianqing as soon as possible, I'm sorry!" Tang Lang turned around and left after speaking, leaving Hu Hefeng to look at his back blankly.
