The change was so sudden that when everyone discovered the abnormality, the look of gratitude on Wu Sheng's face had not faded, and the old chief's smile was still on his face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The dagger penetrated the leather armor with difficulty, piercing into the old chief's shriveled chest, the flesh and blood there shrank, far less flesh and blood than any of the enemies Wu Sheng had killed and injured in the past, the dagger was not sharp, it was just the sustenance used by the stupid girl to seek a sense of security, not a real weapon against the enemy, in Wu Sheng's hands it drilled into the old chief's heart, but stuck in the sternum, holding the old chief's neck with one hand, and sending the dagger in the other hand, Wu Sheng even heard the sound of the dagger rubbing against the bones, The old chief's bulging eyes glared at him in disbelief like water overflowing in a cup, and in an instant it was replaced by hatred and anger, like a hungry wolf and a wild ghost.
Wu Sheng met these eyes and gaze, without the slightest hint of retreating, in fact, the ruthlessness and furious color in his eyes, in terms of terrible degree is not much inferior to the old chief, as a sharp soldier in the army, in the past, he had been in the bloody field, and his comrades and siblings fought to the death of the enemy, the soul of the dead under the knife can not be counted on one hand, he was captured and forced into the Ganzhou Uighurs, he has not killed anyone for dozens of days, but at this time, he personally sent the dagger into the old chief's chest, felt the sluggishness and pleasure of the sharp weapon into the flesh, and smelled the bloody smell rising in his nose, The pores of Wu Sheng's whole body are still inhibitibly open, just like a person who is dying of thirst finally drinking a sweet spring, the gloomy base accumulated in his chest for dozens of days, and the dense clouds of sorrow on his heart have all disappeared in an instant, just like the rain has passed and the sky is clear, and the sun is shining in an instant.
Between breaths, Wu Sheng's hand holding the dagger twisted again and again, mercilessly shattering the old chief's heart, a large stream of blood gushed out of the other party's mouth uncontrollably, and the hatred and anger in his eyes also turned into horror and despair in an instant, he still stared at Wu Sheng, and refused to take his eyes off until he died, it was the hatred of dying people, and it was also the entanglement of ghosts, which was originally not allowed to be looked at directly, but Wu Sheng did not avoid it at all, facing this gaze that was enough to make people's hearts palpitate until the middle of the night to wake up, his heart even had infinite joy, A pleasure that he couldn't fully comprehend himself.
"Er...... How dare you?! The old chief's dying accusation was full of anger, but in Wu Sheng's eyes, it was no longer a deterrent, and he clung to Wu Sheng's arms and shoulders with both hands, so that he would not fall immediately.
"Why don't you dare?" Wu Sheng looked directly at the old Uighur chieftain, his eyes were as hard as iron, and the words that popped out of his teeth were even more numerous, "I am a Tang person, a Tang man who stands up to the sky and the earth, even if I am captured on the battlefield, how can I be willing to be a lackey?!" β
This sentence is only about twenty words, but when it came out of Wu Sheng's mouth at this time, it seemed to have used all the strength of his life, and it was extremely heavy, and it was indeed only about twenty words, but when it came out of Wu Sheng's mouth at this time, the darkness in front of him suddenly dispersed and the light was revealed.
Be a Tang person, be a Tang person who stands up to the sky.
It's not because I'm a Tang person, so I take it for granted to be a Tang person, it's not because I haven't been involved in the world, and I have an infinitely simple and beautiful fantasy in my heart, so I'm willing to be a Tang person.
By no means such a Don man.
Instead, he has experienced the bitterness and pain of an ordinary Tang person, read the sorrows and helplessness of an ordinary Tang person, and is still willing to be a Tang person.
It was after seeing that the Tang people, who were also captured, were dissipated by the alien race, and voluntarily became a vassal of the alien race for the sake of a comfortable life in front of them, they were still determined to be a Tang people.
is to be pushed back by the swords and soldiers who fought side by side in the past, and he must be determined to be a Tang man.
After seeing his former companions being hacked and killed by Wang Shi in the chaotic army, he was still determined to be a Tang man.
After witnessing all kinds of darkness and coldness, cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, injustice and crime, he wants to be a Tang man as always.
To be a Tang person is to choose to stand in the camp of the Tang people.
To be a Tang person is to choose to engrave the country called Datang in your heart forever.
To be a Tang man is to remember those comrades who died on the battlefield.
To be a Tang Dynasty is to remember those compatriots who wanted to run back to the Tang Dynasty, but were captured by foreign races and brutally tortured.
As a Tang person, even if he is as humble as an ant, he still has a prosperous Tang Dynasty in his heart.
To be a Tang person, even if he is as ordinary as a moth, he has to rush to the lights of Datang when he is dying.
If you are a Tang person, you can say that I, the king of the Tang Dynasty, have captured Hexi!

Be a Tang dynasty and call the most eloquent monarch in the world my emperor!
Be a Tang person, face Middle-earth and worship, that's where my ancestors buried their bones!
Be such a Don!
It has nothing to do with right and wrong, nothing to do with black and white, nothing to do with good and evil, to be a Tang person.
It's an easy choice.
If I had to find a reason for this choice, I had the blood of the Tang people in my veins.
The war is ruthless, and it is necessary to stand on the side of the Don Army.
The country is magnificent and vast, and it is necessary to make Datang brick by brick.
Be such a Don man.
Live up to your ancestors.
Be such a Don man.
Stand tall in the sky.
ββDatang, my hometown where the leaves have fallen and returned to my roots.
Even if you die in a foreign country, you must return to the East!
......
The old Uighur chieftain clutched Wu Sheng's arm, his eyes gradually dimmed, and all the emotions and colors in his eyes dissipated, until in the end, only the cold killing intent and unrelieved doubts remained, which made him rather die than let go of Wu Sheng, coughing up blood and asking one last question: "If you kill me today, you will die, why is this so?" β
"Born as a Tang Dynasty person, died as a Tang Dynasty ghost, what am I afraid of?" At this moment, Wu Sheng's heart suddenly brightened, he calmly spit out this sentence, pulled out the blood-stained dagger from the old chief's chest, and watched the other party cover his chest, unwillingly falling down in front of him.
The surrounding Uighur soldiers watched in amazement, most of them had not yet recovered from the sudden change, in fact, it was not until the old chief fell at Wu Sheng's feet that many people noticed the movement.
However, the tribe, especially the old chief's cronies, noticed the change in the situation early on, although it was too late to stop anything, but as soon as the old chief fell, they drew their swords out of the sheath one after another, or went to check the old chief's injuries, or rushed towards Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng had long expected that the situation would change like this, he had already held the mentality of going out of the way after a battle, since he dared to suddenly attack the old chief, he would not be restrained under such changes, he surprisingly did not retreat, but brandished the saber drawn from the old chief's waist, forcing back the tribal warriors who wanted to pounce, and then stood horizontally, the tip of the knife pointed directly at everyone, and suddenly shouted: "All retreat!" β
Although his Uighur language was stiff, he was able to convey the meaning clearly, and at this moment he stood with a bloody dagger in one hand and a saber in the other, standing with a long body, full of anger, his eyes wide open, and under the backdrop of the bloody corpse of the old chief, he was doubly terrifying, and he shouted loudly, which had no deterrent effect.
The tribal warriors were stunned at first, and were shocked by the guy in front of them who was as peaceful as a scholar but suddenly violent as a beast, and before they came back to their senses and killed them, Wu Sheng shouted and got up again: "If you want to find death, take a step forward and try!" Now that I have killed someone, I have not hesitated to die, don't you want to live at all? β
Wu Sheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, like a war drum exploding, after a big drink, his heartbeat quickly calmed down, he glared at everyone, his face was full of majesty, and his tone did not fluctuate at all, this situation and this scene, but whenever he showed timidity or made people perceive that he was half nervous, he would die without a place to be buried, although he was not afraid of death, but he wanted to live more, although his Uighur language was not good, but the rhetoric was prepared in advance, but it was extremely smooth.
The tribal warriors were hesitant to be yelled at by Wu Sheng, and someone in the middle said with a hideous face: "You killed the chief, I will slaughter you, eat your flesh, drink your blood......"
Wu Sheng didn't wait for this person to finish speaking, he knew that he couldn't hesitate for a moment at this time, let alone be occupied by the other party, so he looked at everyone like lightning, and was impassioned: "The old chief asked me, if I kill him today, I will die, why do you want to do this." You might as well tell you and others that you will kill people even if you die, that is, you should tell you with your actions that I am a Tang person! β
I am a Tang person, word by word, like thunder falling to the ground. In addition, Wu Sheng's tiger eyes are round and wide-eyed, and he is like a tiger and wolf, which shows his weight even more.
Everyone looked at each other, and many people looked shocked.
Tang people, these two words are like a thousand pounds, and everyone is overwhelmed.
If it was placed a few months ago, Mo said the word Tang people, it was the three words of the Tang Emperor, and there was no deterrent effect in Hexi.
But now it is different, because the Tang army has already killed Hexi, and with a thunderous momentum, with the state of overwhelming the mountains and the sea, the defeated army killed people and attacked the city and plundered the land, defeated the soldiers and horses of Hexi, and crushed the land of Hexi to pieces, like a god like Yama, which has made the people of Hexi very afraid.
These defeated soldiers were chased and killed by the Tang army all the way to Suzhou, but they saw with their own eyes more than a thousand elite horsemen of the Tang army, and they could make a Suzhou city silent. At this moment, the degree to which these defeated soldiers were afraid of the Tang Army was already greater than the fear of the medicine Luo Ge Di Yin.
That's why Wu Sheng said that I am from the Tang Dynasty, and immediately shocked the scene for a short time.
"This person wants to take you and others to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and as a Tang person, he has to kill him!" Wu Sheng looked down on everyone, and there were many Han and Tang heroes in his life, "Now my Wang Shi is behind, and the Guiyi Army is in front, and my Tang Army is in front of and behind, if you continue to be the enemy of our Tang Army, even if you don't die today, you will die in the future!" Now I ask you, do you want to live, or do you want to die?! β
The defeated soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are panicked, they are tribal warriors, and they have all temporarily stopped thinking of killing Wu Sheng at this time. The Hexi army has been defeated, and now the Tang army has come to the city of Suzhou, these of them are not even allowed to enter Suzhou, homeless defeated soldiers, trying their best to survive but unable to do so, the reason why they follow the old chief to this is just to get a glimmer of life, in fact, many people want to go home, even including some tribal warriors, at this time hearing Wu Sheng's words, they all looked at him.
"Tell you the truth, a certain was a Tang military captain before, if you and others are willing to surrender with me, I can protect you from dying, and he can return home safely one day!" In order to enhance his credibility, Wu Sheng had to tell a lie, "My Tang Dynasty has always treated all ethnic groups very kindly, and if you surrender, you will not be embarrassed." Now the old chief is dead, if you insist on going west, don't say that you don't know the way to Xizhou, once you enter the border of Guazhou, you will be slaughtered by the Guiyi army, and there is no reason to live! The truth here, you have to think about it! β
Wu Sheng didn't want to go to any Western Prefecture, let alone continue to be a pseudo-Uighur.
Overhearing the old chieftain's words last night shook his heart.
After a sleepless night, his mind finally cleared.
He wants to be a Tang man, even if he will be hacked to death immediately.
But at least you can stand up to the sky, just like when you were in Lingzhou.
Even for a moment.
Live as a Don, or die.
-- This is Wu Sheng's choice.
