Langzhou City.

Zhou Baoquan's letter of persuasion, Hunan that had been in chaos for nearly half a month finally stopped, and the two 'invaders' Murong Yanzhao and Sun Yue were also erected in Hunan.

On the contrary, Li Chuyun, who is majestic and invincible, has become a prisoner of the stairs and a dignified supervisor of the army, but he has been placed under house arrest by the new army, and he is angry all day long, but it is useless.

Sun Yue is not much stronger, these days he assists Murong Yanzhao to appease the people of Hunan, he is busy all day long, although he can gain a lot of respectful eyes wherever he goes, but in the eyes of everyone, he is already a dying man, and his own pressure is naturally not small, after all, it is the sin of mutiny, he is now living every day as the last day of his life, and the huge pressure is so great that he began to lose his hair.

Military orders are like mountains, military law is ruthless, everything you can do has been done, whether you can survive or not, you can only resign yourself to fate, but I think that even if I die this time, at least I can leave a name in history.

After a busy day, when it was time to eat in the evening, Sun Yue specially stewed a fat chicken with his own hands, prepared two jars of good rice wine, came to Li Chuyun, and said with a smile: "Li Jianjun, today Xia Guan made a chicken, eat some together?" ”

"You're coming to me for dinner? What, you want to humiliate me? ”

Sun Yue said with a smile: "It's not about humiliation, it's just counting the days, the battle report on our side should have been sent to the palace, there should be a reply, the life we gambled on is almost time to be revealed, you are worried, aren't you weak-hearted?" I don't know, this is my severed head meal, but it's strange, this last meal, I really want to eat it with you. ”

"Huh? Joke, this prison is dedicated to the public, and was shamelessly kidnapped by you and Murong Yanzhao, what kind of heart do I have? It should be you who has a weak heart! He Murong Yanzhao will not be long in life, and he is a man of great merit, and the official family may still open the net, you? Mutiny on the battlefield, do you still think you can survive? Gambling on your life? Who are you to bet with me? I live, you die, there is no second possibility. ”

Sun Yue said angrily and funny: "Cooking people and eating, killing innocents indiscriminately, how is it different from a beast?" The prison army made such a beastly act that has never been seen in the ages, but it can have a clear conscience, admire, admire. ”

Li Chuyun's face twitched, and a trace of panic flashed on his face, but he said: "Killing people is the fate of soldiers, little doll, what do you think this is doing?" It's war! It's a war to the death! If you don't kill people, people will come and kill you, since they are all killings, what is the difference between killing with a knife and cooking and eating? I ate seventy people, and I shocked the enemy's courage, Langzhou City went down without a fight, how many hard battles were fought, and this battle was not enough for my Song Jian'er 700 and 7,000 to die, could it be a stalemate battle, and the people of Hu-Nan would die less than now? No, every day of war is fought, the river will be redder, and the people will be miserable, and there will be no one out of ten, have you ever seen a white-haired old man led to the battlefield by a rope, just to consume the enemy's arrows? I've seen it! Have you ever seen a village weeping for the sake of raising food for the army, cutting off the unripe wheat and weeping for the village? I've seen it! What do you know? What do you know? I tell you, I have saved no fewer people than you, and my merit is greater than yours! I go to hell, and all kinds of sins add to my body, and I want to become a Buddha! What do I have to feel guilty about? I'm eating people for the country, I'm not selfish, I'm having a clear conscience! ”

"Poof!" Listening to Li Chuyun's shameless statement, Sun Yue really couldn't help it, and he was happy.

Dressed up for a piece of meat and poured him a glass of wine, Sun Yue smiled and said: "Li Jianjun, it's been so long, you don't feel your mistake at all, and you still have a good word?" ”

Li Chuyun looked arrogant and said, "I'm not wrong. ”

"Can you do whatever it takes to win?"

"Means? The means are not important, the results are important. ”

Sun Yue stared at him for a long time, and finally determined one thing, this was a beast.

You must know that Sun Yue had respect for Li Chuyun before.

It is said that he never embezzled and bribed, had no money to spare, and never cronyism, and always came the earliest when he worked in the Privy Council, and the one who left the latest, it can be said that he was conscientious, compared to Zhao Pu's insatiable greed, in fact, Sun Yue knew that his reputation in the Privy Council was quite good.

What's more, he is still an all-rounder who can write and martial arts, after pacifying Li Chongjin, this person also served as the governor of Yangzhou, responsible for the post-war reconstruction work, and did a very good job, it is said that when he left office, the people of Yangzhou blocked the road and wept to stay, and even a few days could not be made, and he also set up a memorial arch.

So Sun Yue felt that this should be a person worthy of his respect, and he wanted to hear the story of this man's heart, what made a benevolent and virtuous person who loved the people like a son in Yangzhou become a beast who ate people in Langzhou? Will his heart be tormented? He wanted to hear what this man had to say.

But now, he didn't want to hear it at all.

This is a man with a completely distorted concept of right and wrong, and he is wondering what makes a respectable elder who has read the books of the sages become a brute. Is it war? Is it troubled times? Or is it the never-ending lust for power?

Before the chicken was finished, Murong Yanzhao came over in person, and closely behind Murong Yanzhao was a man wearing a red robe with a delicate face, Sun Yue and Li Chuyun put down their chopsticks at the same time, they knew that it was time to unveil the cup.

"Xue Shilang? The official family actually asked you to announce the decree in person? ”

Sun Yue also recognized this person, he was the current court's privy councillor, Xue Juzheng, the head of the household, the absolute boss of the future, the person who could really wrestle with Zhao Pu, and one of the twenty-four ministers of the Great Song Dynasty. I was shocked, such a big wrist came down in person?

saw Xue Juzheng sigh and said, "Brother, I'll give you a ride." ”

Li Chuyun's heart was shocked: "Send me?" I...... I'm a superintendent in the army, where will I go? ”

"The official family has a decree, and I am ordered to serve as the governor of Langzhou, and temporarily judge the affairs of Langzhou, as for you, old brother...... Alas, the crime will be entered into the Beijing division, and it will be dealt with after the agreement between the DPRK and the central government. ”

Li Chuyun sat on the ground with a face full of disbelief: "Official ...... The rulers want to punish me? I...... Am I guilty? ”

As he spoke, Li Chuyun grabbed Xue Juzheng's shirt and said angrily: "What crime do I have? What am I guilty of? I went down to Jiangling in one day, and Langzhou in three days, broke 50,000 enemies, but suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and collected 14 prefectures and 26 counties for the imperial court, what am I guilty of? What sin am I! ”

But seeing that Li Chuyun became more and more crazy, he suddenly picked up his sandbag-sized fist and hit Xue Juzheng's face hard, so frightened that Murong Yanzhao hurriedly stepped forward and knocked him down, but Murong Yanzhao was not in good health after all, and he didn't fix him after tossing for a long time, but let Li Chuyun kick him to the side, and it took a long time before he was held down by the help of a group of pro-soldiers.

At this time, Li Chuyun, where did he still have the appearance of a prime minister, like a sealed demon, his head tilted with his cloak scattered, and his red eyes suddenly glared at Sun Yue: "What about him?" What about him? He mutinied before the battle, kidnapped the prison army, and fought with Murong Yanzhao to seize military power, such a big crime, what about him? ”

Sun Yue also reacted, he already knew the ending of Li Chuyun in his heart, but he was still hanging, and he was busy staring at Xue Juzheng with shining eyes, afraid that he would say the three words of slashing.

Xue Juzheng looked at Sun Yue and smiled: "Let's go back to Beijing together, but don't worry, kid, most of the court is in favor of extrajudicial mercy to you, your life will definitely be saved, but how to deal with it still needs to be discussed." ”
