Chapter 309: A Promise of Justice
Just after Pei Qian was taken away, Zhang Yan was very eagerly looking forward to the news of the spy, because the party is his foundation, once he loses it, I am afraid that he will really become a rootless duckweed as Pei Qian said, this is actually still good, what is not good is that he will become a lost dog.
After two days of eager waiting, Zhang Yan finally heard that his spy had returned, and he was so excited that he went out to greet him himself.
However, when he saw the panicked expression on the spies' face, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding in his heart.
Originally, Zhang Yan was afraid that the army's heart would be turbulent, so he asked the spies to go inside and say it, but the spies directly said loudly: "Big boss, it's not good, the eldest son city has fallen into the hands of Pei Qing, and none of our people have run out, no wonder we don't know the news of the fall of the eldest son." ”
"What?"
"The firstborn has fallen? How is this possible? ”
"None of them came out, this, is this true?"
When the surrounding soldiers heard the news, they were all stunned, and they looked at the spy in disbelief, and after a while, the whole camp was like a fryer, and there was panic everywhere.
Zhang Yan suddenly smiled bitterly, what he was worried about had finally happened, and now he had to make a choice, otherwise there would be only a dead end waiting for them!
At this time, he saw a scribe come to Zhang Yan and said in a deep voice: "General, in fact, you don't have to worry, it's a big deal that we will lead the army back and take back the eldest son." ”
However, Zhang Yan shook his head, because this strategy is not good, and it is easy to recapture it, but in fact, it is too difficult to do it, because he doesn't know who the eldest son is, how many troops the other party has, how dare he attack at will, besides, even if the eldest son city is easy to capture, so what? Yuan Shao was destined to take the opportunity to follow, and at that time, the eldest son city they had finally captured fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, this Yuan Shao was a mediocre talent, if he had to make a choice, he would rather choose to surrender to Pei Qing than surrender to him.
But things haven't come to that far, because the scribe saw that Zhang Yan was silent, knowing that his plan was not in line with Zhang Yan's thoughts, in fact, after thinking about it, he also felt that it was still quite difficult to recapture Changzhi, so after some thought, he gave Zhang Yan another idea: "General, in fact, the situation is not irreparable, don't we still have Pei Qian in our hands?" This is Pei Qing's brother, and the general can completely exchange Pei Qian for his eldest son. ”
"That's a good idea." Zhang Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this, but then she said with a wry smile: "This matter is not easy to handle, if Pei Qing really doesn't change, can we dare to kill Pei Qian?" ”
"This ...... It's not necessary to kill, but we can threaten Pei Qian with death and ask him to obediently help us get our eldest son back. ”
"But you also saw Pei Qian's performance in the mansion that day, and I am afraid it will be difficult to threaten him." Zhang Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, he really didn't have anything to do with a person like Pei Qian.
But when he saw the scribe say, "How do you know if you don't try?" Maybe Pei Qian is not as strong as he behaved, but because he was confident that the general would not kill him, he was so fearless, if he really died, I don't believe that he was really indifferent. ”
Zhang Yan couldn't help but fall into thought when he heard this, he felt that the scribe was reasonable, so he said: "What you said is also reasonable, Mr. Zhu, then do what you say, if Pei Qian is really willing to give in, then he will naturally be unavoidable, if he is really not afraid of death, it is not too late for us to surrender to him." ”
That night, Pei Qian knew the news that Zhang Yan wanted to kill him, because the news was brought to him by Zhu Gongdao.
I saw Zhu Gong and said: "Sir, I got the news from my brother Zhu Ao, Chu Feiyan is going to threaten Mr. by killing Mr. tomorrow to persuade Mr. Pei to return his eldest son, I am willing to take the risk to come to the rescue today, and I hope that Mr. will escape with me to avoid a disaster." ”
However, Pei Qian smiled faintly and said: "Thank you Zhu Yishi for coming to the rescue, but I won't leave, don't say that Zhang Yan doesn't have the courage to kill me at all, even if he really kills me, I won't leave, now the people of Shangdang are in dire straits under his rule, if I can exchange my death for the peace of the people, then even if I die, it will be worth it, so many days have been bothered, it's a pity that I can't stay here anymore, I have already written a letter of recommendation here, Zhu Yishi can take this letter to see my brother in the future, I believe that I will be able to get my brother's reuse at that time, this can be regarded as a small supplement to you who have taken such care of me these days, Zhu Yishi, you must not dislike it. ”
Pei Qian said as he took out the recommendation letter he had written in advance from his arms, and then handed it to Zhu Gongdao's hand.
Zhu Gongdao sighed when he heard this: "I really didn't expect Mr. to treat death as home, in this case, why should I wish justice this body?" If anyone dares to murder him, I am willing to fight to the death to keep him safe. ”
Pei Qian shook his head and said: "If Zhang Yan executes me, there will be many soldiers around him, on the one hand, to show his determination, on the other hand, it is also to prevent me from escaping, in this way, if Zhu Yishi comes forward, not only will he not be able to save me, but even you yourself will be in it, it is useless to die, it is better to stay and do something meaningful!" ”
Zhu Gongdao was silent for a moment, and then said: "The righteousness of the husband is where the meaning lies, death is heavier than Mount Tai, and it is lighter than the feathers, I die for righteousness, it is a hundred times stronger than stealing life, Mr. does not need to persuade again, I have made up my mind." ”
Pei Qianyan sighed and said: "Since Zhu Yishi has made a decision, Qian won't say more, Qian here just hopes that Zhu Yishi can keep one thing in mind, as long as Zhang Yan's murderous ghost head knife does not fall, you don't do it, so as not to hurt innocent ......."
In fact, Pei Qian didn't say half a sentence, although he admired Zhu Gongdao's righteousness very much, on the other hand, he was also afraid that Zhu Gongdao would make a mistake, because although he was not afraid of death, he always believed that Zhang Yan did not dare to do it, which may be Zhang Yan deliberately intimidated himself to do this.
Zhu Gongdao said directly: "Sir, I'm still afraid that I will make a mistake if I act recklessly, right?" Please rest assured that justice knows the severity, as long as Mr. is not in danger of life, Justice will not do it, and he will never miss Mr. Major. ”
Pei Qian was pointed out by the other party in this way, his face suddenly turned red, and he said to Zhu Gongdao: "How lucky is it to be treated like this by Zhu Yishi?" I only hope that this time Zhang Yan doesn't really want to kill me, so that I have the opportunity to report Mr., otherwise, this virtue will only be reported in the next life. ”
