A little later, the clouds closed, and soon a drizzle fell from the night sky.

The light of the torches rose in the cool breeze and drizzle, and the expressions of the seven people kneeling in front of a pile of graves were a little gloomy in the dim firelight.

Excluding Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Jie, and Gongsun Yue, more than 3,000 people were gathered when they came, and they were scattered and scattered along the way, and after a chaotic battle last night, there were only four people left at this time...... Sending Zhang Mancheng away and kneeling in front of the grave again, the exhilarating feeling of being pretentious and consciously strategizing in front of Zhang Mancheng slowly dissipated, Liu Zheng's mind was full of the deaths of countless people, the scenes of rivers of blood, and the sad looks of others.

Most of the people who think of it are the dead who belong to their own people, of course, there are innocent people, and there are also anti-thieves like Han Zhong.

At this time, the mood is naturally chaotic, and there are many people in my mind who have a favorability that drops and rises from time to time, and some thoughts are brewing in my heart, with the intention of not vomiting and being unhappy.

Zhang Fei, Gongsun Yue, and Che Huan, Xi Yu, Cheng Bi, and Wu Yueqi, who knelt behind Liu Zheng, and more than a dozen deceased people braved the wind and rain all the way from their hometowns, and lived here for so many days, which is the most familiar.

coincided with Zhongyuan, who originally had a sad mood for the robe that died along the way, but at this time, looking at the dim outline of the grave in front of him, the six people's hearts were depressed and chaotic at the same time.

But to be precise, in this sad and depressed mood, there are more confusion and fear for the future.

After all, that Zhang Chao is Zhu Jun's other Sima, and Zhu Jun is the right middle general.

These people all came out of small towns and towns, and they didn't see much in the world, but they also followed Liu Zheng to see Lu Zhi's prestige as a general of Beizhonglang.

A flat-headed common man can see a big official who is enough to enter the temple, not to mention how exciting the feeling of honor was at the beginning.

Looking back at this time, compared with the danger that Zhu Jun may bring, the bitterness in his heart can be imagined.

After all, Lu Zhonglang's disciple protégé and Zhu Zhonglang's general are in a sense, and they are equally important to the two Zhonglang generals.

However, compared with Zhang Chao's positions as Sima of other departments and officials of the imperial court, Liu Zheng only has the title of a Han clan relative, but he has no real position.

The death of another Sima is definitely a big deal for the imperial court, if Zhu Jun tries to chase and beat Liu Zheng indiscriminately, in their opinion, there is Lu Zhi in the way, and Liu Zheng's exploits, but there is Liu Zheng shooting Huangmen, plus this matter, Liu Zheng will not escape death.

And they will also be implicated.

Under the shroud of such thoughts, everyone also knows that the current situation is not optimistic, originally Zhang Chao died in front of him, they were misunderstood by the centurion as colluding with the thief to design Zhang Chao, and they were already in turmoil...... In the midst of all kinds of speculation, the pressure in everyone's hearts is increasing, and even people have some crazy ideas.

But Che Huan, Xi and Yu looked at Liu Zheng's back, and those crazy thoughts still subsided and disappeared.

In any case, it is immoral to kill the lord...... Moreover, they can't beat it.

Gongsun Yue is planning to explore Liu Zheng's bottom later, and is ready to officially say goodbye to Liu Zheng.

Speaking of which, Gongsun Yue didn't believe that Liu Zheng would surrender to the moth thieves, and also felt that in the situation where more than a thousand moth thieves were around just now, it was very likely that Liu Zheng would endure humiliation when he judged the situation.

It's just that even if he believes in Liu Zheng, it is impossible for him to be willful.

After all, there is the entire Gongsun family behind him, once the imperial court severely punishes and makes a joint punishment, Liu Zheng is speechless, and the Gongsun family may also suffer this disaster because of his participation.

So as a top priority, he had to go back to his home and let Gongsun Chan and the others find a way to make a decision.

At the very least, let the family know that he was in such a big trouble.

He even thought of a way to let Mingzhe in his family protect himself, and when he was really going to be held accountable, he would let the Gongsun family not recognize his existence and lose the car to protect the handsome.

Zhang Fei, who deliberately knelt in the back row, looked left and right, occasionally looked at Gongsun Yue and the others in front of him, and then looked at Huang Zhong, Xun You, Wen Ren Brothers and others waiting in the distance, his eyes narrowed in the firelight, and the five fingers holding the snake spear kept pinching, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the other side, the rain collected in the night, and the branches and grass blades made a clattering and dripping sound around them, and the voices of the people were a little soft.

“…… In this way, those rice thieves should have seen Liu Gongzi's power in Nieyang City, so some people surrendered. Where are the own people...... Those rice thieves and soldiers were all confused by Liu Gongzi for a while. As soon as he saw that someone was shocked by Liu Gongzi and surrendered, he also surrendered...... There may also be the deterrence of the group of moth thieves outside the village, but there are traces to follow, not as ridiculous as they seem. ”

After listening to Wen Ping talk about what happened in Nieyang City, Xun You looked at Liu Zheng with a complicated expression, thinking about the fact that he admitted that he was Liu Zheng's relative in front of Zhang Mancheng at that time, turned his head and looked at the graves of the villagers on the side, and sighed: "Rice thieves, soldiers, us, moth thieves...... But only I can't keep all the villagers' ......."

Zhang Ji had already sent Xiaobai back to the village to be taken care of by Zhang Chu, and his tone was sad at this time, "It is always the unarmed who suffer in wartime...... Good or bad, dead is dead, and there is not even a thought. ”

The crowd also glanced at the graves around the circle and fell silent.

During this period, Wen Ren pulled Wen Ping, and the two walked aside, Wen Ping said: "Brother wants to leave?" ”

"You can't stay here forever...... Brother Wei wants you to explore Liu Gongzi's tone. ”

Wen Ren glanced at the direction where Liu Zheng was, and said with an ugly face: "The scene between Liu Gongzi and Zhang Mancheng is really suspicious, although my father said that I agreed with you to work for Liu Gongzi, but at this time and that time, now a Sima from another department is involved, and Liu Gongzi is doing this...... How do you tell me to go back and explain to the county order and my father? If we don't report it, someone will investigate it, and our father and son will be ......."

My brother heard about the deeds of the lord in the past, and he also admired a lot, and being able to think like this at this time also shows that he is partial to the lord, Wen Ping thought about it, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I don't have a choice." Don't forget, I'm a man who surrenders to the Lord in full view...... What's the difference between probing and not probing...... Find something nice to say. ”

"How do you find it? Who of us would have thought of that scene just now? If I say something nice, turn around and your lord will overthrow ...... Alas, my father and you are still impulsive, thinking that there will be no problem with Lu Zhonglang to rely on Liu Gongzi. If I'm here, I'll tell you to take a break...... Liu Gongzi's character, maybe you will get into trouble in the future......"

"Brother! Be careful! ”

The tone was extremely solemn, and Wen Ren sighed, "It's a bit foolish...... Okay, that's up to you. It's just that I still say the same thing, and now you are the only one who officially calls Liu Gongzi 'lord', you have to find out what Liu Gongzi thinks. Otherwise, I am afraid that Xun Gongzi Zhang Dagongzi and Huang Hansheng will also have some bad ideas...... People's hearts are unpredictable, and the more adversity there is, the more cautious we must be. ”

Wen Ping nodded, and came to Xun You, Huang Zhong and the others, Xun You was speaking, and his tone was solemn: "Those soldiers who escaped will definitely go back to Zhu Zhonglang and put the charges there, maybe in order to exempt themselves from responsibility, they will also blame Liu Gongzi...... It stands to reason that the sooner such a stigmatized matter is dealt with, the better. But Brother Hansheng don't be anxious, it's not too many hours. Speaking of which, I am also anxious about this matter, and I will never slack ......off."

"But what if he really wants to turn around? My son, Brother Zhang, Zhongjing...... His temperament seems to be peaceful, but in fact he is arbitrary and arbitrary, and he is by no means a good person! ”

Huang Zhong has always been quite repulsive to Liu Zheng and others, and when such a major event happened, he looked at Zhang Ji with some confusion, "After seven or eight days of hard work, the entire village was destroyed." And now he is implicated in such a thing. Zhongjing, are you sure you want to protect him? Why did eight people break 50,000 and shoot the eunuch Huangmen, the poetry is unparalleled...... Now it seems that he is just bent on doing it! It's childlike at all, and there is no thought about it! Even moths and thieves don't shy away from it! ”

The voice was a little heavy, Zhang Fei and the others over there all turned their heads to look at it, Xun You's face was ugly but he didn't say anything, after all, the rice thief was attracted by them.

Zhang Ji argued: "At least Liu Gongzi did the right thing!" ”

"What's wrong? What did you hear him say to Zhang Mancheng? Nonsense, you! Besides, where is there any right or wrong in this world? Right or wrong is up to you! There is only winning and losing! ”

Huang Zhong said angrily: "To live is to win!" He's dead...... It's what you said, and there's no thought left! Whatever anyone else says! ”

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and said in disgust: "You said right or wrong, then in your opinion, you are right to abandon the lives of the whole village to save such a big trouble?" Huang, a vulgar and reckless man, knows the mean, and knows that it is too much, what you have learned is to put the cart before the horse? Aren't you a physician? Only when you live can you save people and ...... the world."

"Uncle Huang, I said something unpleasant, if Xu'er died, would you have left?"

“……”

"You say it's only about winning or losing, are you going to abandon me?"

“…… No. ”

Huang Zhong replied, unwillingly: "But what I want to save is your uncle and nephew...... Zhongjing, don't be obsessed! What did this person do, which time was not a stabbing thing? Now he is reckless with his exploits in breaking the enemy, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do even more rebellious things in the future. He's too young! I don't know how long it will take to get really stable, and why do you insist on getting into this trouble! ”

The higher the tone was spoken, the more excited the emotions became, Xun You hurriedly stopped, "Brother Hansheng, don't worry, don't worry......"

"How could I not be in a hurry? How can it be! I haven't forgotten, you told Zhang Mancheng that you are Liu Zheng's family! I don't care if you are wise enough to protect yourself and endure humiliation, at least now I won't believe you! I just need Zhongjing to say it now...... Why kill yourself! ”

"Uncle Huang!"

"Don't call me! I only ask you! There is still the Zhang family behind you! There are many more people, are you sure you must wade into this troubled water? Don't think I dare knock you out and take you away......"

"Uncle Huang, don't mess around!"

"Brother Hansheng, you ......"

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing! ”

"You're crazy! What are you doing protecting him! He's a reckless ......."

"Boom!"

The thunder suddenly rose, and the night suddenly lit up, and everyone's complicated and excited faces flashed.

The rain was urgent, the dispute continued, and in such a noise, Liu Zheng stood up under the rain curtain over there and said, "Maybe...... I was wrong......"
