Chapter 96: The General's Compromise
What a twist of gods! Could it be that this is the legendary path of heaven and earth?
The assassin was already in complete despair, and only thought about pulling a cushion on his back, but he turned out to be crooked and picked up a treasure.
Even General Jiang Ning, who was a member of the first rank, threw a rat bogey, indicating that the identity of the person being held hostage was very unusual, and it seemed that he could still make a big deal by relying on this talisman as a hostage.
"Don't be reckless and hurt his life, otherwise you won't survive." There was a hint of threat in Echu's words.
"I still hope to live on him, how can I do stupid things? As long as your subordinates don't act rashly, he will naturally have no worries about his life. The Assassin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you? Why assassinate General Ben? This is the issue that Echu is most concerned about.
"Zai Xia is just a little person with no name in the earthly world, and the general doesn't need to know." The assassin obviously didn't want to reveal his name, so he used this to play sloppy, "As for assassinating the general, I didn't have the intention of doing so, I just wanted to borrow a way from the general, but I didn't expect that the general's bravery was great, which greatly surprised you." ”
Er Chu couldn't help but be angry, the assassin's attitude made him very unhappy, as a first-class member from a Manchu background, not to mention a Han person, even the Manchu people had to lower their eyebrows and bow their heads when they saw him. But there was a hint of awe and even contempt in the Assassin's eyes.
However, Er Chu still had some faith in the reason given by the assassin, after all, even if the assassin was lucky, he would have no chance of survival, and judging from the situation just now, the piercing did not seem to kill him.
"What do you want to borrow?"
The assassin replied, "The general has misunderstood, and he is borrowing a way from the general, not for himself, but for the sake of a brother and friend." ”
"Do you want General Ben to let those heaven and earth rebels?" To be able to be a garrison general, it is not possible to rely on force alone, Echu was just stunned for a moment, and then figured out the joints.
The assassin grinned, showing a mouth full of white teeth, and smiled, "The general is really smart. ”
"Wishful thinking!" Echu refused without hesitation.
This time to kill the Heaven and Earth Society, not only the emperor personally inquired, but even the leaves that had been undercover in the Heaven and Earth Society for many years were exposed, so under the mobilization of the people, the result was that he let go of the anti-thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the emperor could not explain it, and the future was completely over.
"Since we can't talk about it, I can only be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks with him, bah bah, they are good friends." The Assassin shrugged his shoulders senselessly, and was about to twist the hostage's neck.
"Help, help, uncle save me......" The hostage felt the arms around his neck tighten tighter, as if he smelled the approach of death, and screamed in fright.
Although E Chu didn't understand what a good friend meant, he was not an idiot, and immediately realized that the assassin was going to attack the hostages, so he was so frightened that he quickly stopped: "Stop, stop, there is something to discuss." ”
"Anything else?" A playful look appeared on the Assassin's face.
E Chuqiang held back his anger and said, "Some discuss, some discuss." ”
"Okay, please let the general go."
"General, don't ......"
"General, don't let the tiger go back to the mountain......"
"General, let go of the thief, the blame will not escape......"
A group of officials and subordinates all tried to dissuade Echu, and the assassin just watched from the sidelines.
"Quiet, quiet......" Echu was annoyed by the noise, and kept waving his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
When everyone quieted down, Echu said to the assassin: "General Ben sees that you are brave and knowledgeable, and you are also a talent, I can't bear to see you fall into the mud and completely bury your good years, if you can get lost and return to the court, this general can protect your life without worry." ”
The assassin couldn't help but smile coldly at Echu's surrender, and said disdainfully, "Is the general an idiot under him?" I'm afraid that if you let go of people in the next place, you can leave a whole corpse in the next, and the ancestors will already bless you below. ”
E Chu patted his chest and swore solemnly: "No, no, General Ben is extremely sincere and will never break his word." ”
"As long as you release Guo Zongbing, we can take an oath as proof...... others understood and echoed one after another.
The Assassin sarcastically said: "People do not stand without trust, and life is based on integrity, but you officials are cheeky and shameless, and you actually open your eyes and tell nonsense, and you have read the books of sages for many years into the belly of a dog?" ”
Some of the officials present had a look of shame on their faces, but there were still many people who made promises and promises, and the Assassin couldn't help but shake his head with emotion, the more he studied and became an official, the more such a person lacked etiquette and shame.
Just like the officials of later generations, standing in front of the television and facing the microphone of reporters, they can be full of nonsense and break the festival, so that only idiots will believe what they say.
The assassin shouted angrily, "Shut up, if you don't want him to die, keep your mouth shut for Lao Tzu." ”
E Chu raised his arm and signaled, and when everyone quieted down, E Chu said: "Okay, General Ben has agreed to your conditions, and you can also let General Guo go." ”
The assassin stared straight at Echu, and his heart was a little hairy, and the assassin couldn't help but sneer: "General, please don't treat him as mentally retarded, okay?" ”
Echu held back his anger and said helplessly: "What if General Ben releases the anti-thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society, and you don't release them?" ”
The Assassin advised, "I'm not an outlaw, I just want to find a way to survive for my brothers and friends." Stay here and don't take people away, and when they leave here, they will release them when they feel safe, what does the general think? ”
E Chu pondered for a moment before he said, "Okay, General Ben will order the release of people, I hope you don't break your word." ”
"No problem." The Assassin was relieved to see that the kidnapping had achieved its goal.
Echu was afraid that if he used the trumpet flag to pass the order, Qi Guotai would think that the order was wrong, so he asked a cronie to run to the scene with his big seal to convey the order.
The Assassin was so busy that he inadvertently noticed a small short sword at the hostage's waist and pulled it out. Although he was confident that he could break the hostage's neck in an instant, with a weapon, not to mention the effort to kill at the last moment, he could pull a few more pads.
Guo Zhili is just a general soldier who was born in the Han military banner and has the rank of admiral, and as a Manchu garrison general, why does he care so much about his life and death? He even did not hesitate to give him a chance and ordered to let go of the anti-thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society?
Who are the most powerful people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty today? Nalan Mingzhu is definitely one, and the one who can be compared with him is Suo Etu, in addition to political discord, the two often fold each other, and they are still a pair of mortal enemies. (To be continued.) )
