Chapter 367: Falling Flowers Are Intentionally Ruthless (3)
However, Du Weizhen had made up his mind, and Emperor Jing Yuan's persuasion could not stop him, so he had to let him go, telling him to pay attention to safety and not to risk himself.
Du Weizhen responded one by one.
Du Weizhen came out of the palace, and the carriage was stopped in front of the palace, and the person who came was Mu Shengyun, who had just passed the letter some time ago.
It turned out that he heard that Du Weizhen was going to meet Meng Fusheng, who looked very similar to Mu Shengbai, and wanted to accompany him by the way. In this way, the next day, Du Weizhen led the troops to the border alone, and became Mu Shengyun, Lu Yue'an, Su Ming and Gu Yeyang.
The first few people all took the initiative to ask to go, and the last Gu Yeyang had to go, Du Weizhen took a fancy to his keen observation ability, thinking that when the time came, he would be able to distinguish whether Meng Fusheng had anything to do with Shengbai through certain characteristics.
But on their way to the border, Meng Fusheng had already led people to break the city and captured the injured Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng was also a tough person, with the idea of destroying the city, but Meng Fusheng used the lives of the people in the city as a threat to dispel his mind and let him be arrested in humiliation.
The bustling city of Zigui in the past is now a bit bleak, the dilapidated and crumbling city gates, the bloodstains at the city gates that have not been completely washed away, and the once prosperous streets are now only sparsely populated with a few people, as well as soldiers wearing Yidan military uniforms, all of which indicate that this place has just experienced a tragic war and the final result of the war.
Ten miles away from Zigui City, a group of soldiers arrived quietly and collided with a group of deserters who looked hurried and wore tattered military uniforms.
"Your Highness, this was caught in the grove on the right, wearing the clothes of a Kunguo soldier, but as soon as he saw us, he ran away, maybe it was Yi Dan's spies!"
Su Ming threw a few people on the ground and glared at them viciously. He had just gone to the woods to relieve himself, and he was almost so frightened by these people who were shouting and running away that he peed his pants, which was really humiliating.
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, the little ones are soldiers under General Zhou's command, not spies."
Several people kowtowed wildly and begged for mercy, for fear that they would be dragged down and cut off their heads after being busy for half a beat. Because they were too panicked, they didn't pay attention to Su Ming's title, but just looked at Du Weizhen's bearing and the soldiers he carried, and felt that his identity was extraordinary.
Su Ming was disdainful, "If you are under the command of General Zhou, why do you run away when you see me, it's like being chased by a ghost, I think you are quibbling!" ”
Du Weizhen was not as temperamental as Su Ming, "You said that you were under the command of General Zhou, so why did you end up like this, and why were you so afraid of him?" ”
One person had a bitter expression, and he told the truth, "General Zhou was arrested by the evil Yidan people, and Zigui City was also broken, and the small ones really had no way, and they couldn't fight against so many Yidan people, so they could only ...... Made a deserter. ”
"The adults spare their lives, the little ones have no choice, Yi Dan attacked, our whole army was wiped out, and staying is also sending death!"
Kunguo had zero tolerance for deserters, and it was no wonder that they were so panicked when they saw Su Ming in armor.
But the city is broken...... Du Weizhen took a hard breath, his eyes suddenly darkened, as if he had been hit by something, and he barely stabilized his body while holding Su Ming.
Su Ming and Zhou Sheng are also brothers who have had a fateful relationship, as soon as they heard them say that Zhou Sheng was a prisoner for the safety of the people, his eyes immediately turned red, his fists were clenched, and he couldn't help but curse after enduring, and then he grabbed the placket of a deserter's clothes, and roared with a hideous face: "Your general is iron-clad, how can there be your soft-footed shrimp's subordinates, isn't it insulting him!" ”
"See that Lao Tzu doesn't cut off your heads, let you go down and apologize to those brothers who died on the battlefield!"
As he spoke, he drew his knife, and it was about to fall on the necks of the deserters who were so pale and frightened that they couldn't even speak.
Du Weizhen made a final decision, "Enough! ”
Mu Shengyun and the others also hurriedly came up to stop Su Ming.
Su Ming's eyes were red, and he didn't even dare to listen to Du Weizhen's words, "Your Highness! These people must die! ”
"They can die, but not at the hands of their own people!"
"But they're deserters! Why are all the brothers dead, how can these soft-footed shrimp survive! ”
Du Weizhen stood with his hands in his hands, his face was expressionless, and his image of the past was as warm as jade at this moment, giving people deep pressure, only at this moment can people know that this is not a powerless scholar, but a noble crown prince, his words are beyond doubt.
"Su Ming, put away the swords, merge them into the army, and make up for the merits."
Su Ming's hand trembled, full of unwillingness, but he still obediently put away the knife and stood aside, staring at the trembling deserters like a murderer.
Gu Yeyang knocked them and let them go down.
The night was hazy, and Du Weizhen decided to rest in place, but for fear of being discovered, they didn't even dare to make too much fire, so they sat in the looming light to discuss.
The city has been broken, even if Du Weizhen wants to go over, they will not allow it, just like risking his life to definitely stop him, so Du Weizhen dispelled the idea of going to Zigui City.
In the end, it was decided that Mu Shengyun and Li Qing would protect Gu Yeyang and enter the city, and the others would wait here, and the time of departure would be tomorrow, and they would pretend to be ordinary people and sneak in.
Early the next morning, the warm sun was in the sky, and there were gradually more people in the quiet and lonely explanation yesterday, and a few shops opened their doors, although the business was cold, but there were still many customers, as if nothing had happened in the past few days, Zigui City was still Zigui City, and it became just the ruler of the city.
A few plainly dressed young men and teenagers walked in slowly, no different from other people, but their eyes were too vigilant, and they kept looking around, they were Mu Shengyun and others.
Li Qing: "Shengyun, where do you say that kid named Meng Fusheng lives, we can't look aimlessly, right?" ”
Mu Shengyun: "City Lord's Mansion." ”
Gu Yeyang: "Hmm." ”
"Where is the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Ask."
"Hmm."
Li Qing glared at Gu Yeyang, "What else would you do this kid except for uh-huh-hmm?" What do you want? ”
"He's useful."
Gu Yeyang smiled and nodded, "Hmm." ”
Li Qinghai was angry with the two of them, and felt that he was an excluded person, Gu Yeyang's attitude towards Mu Shengyun was like that of his ancestors, holding the kind of fear of being broken, and he listened to him for anything.
Li Qing asked and found out that it was because of Mu Shengbai, he called it Aiwu and Wu, and said that the benefactor's senior brother must be as smart as the benefactor, and it was always right to listen to him.
Li Qing: Hehe.
