Chapter 126: Generosity to the Death
"This official just wants to be safe, and he is willing to give Vice General Lu a stick of incense time to consider." The white-faced scholar waved his hand, and the reckless man on the side had already lit a fine incense, "The lives of these brothers are in the palm of your hand." โ
He pointed to the remaining captured soldiers, and looked at the distorted faces, fearful, angry, and hated to eat their flesh, drink their blood, cramp their tendons, and crush their bones and ashes.
The scholar gave all the choices to Lu Yixing, who was on the cusp of the storm.
Wei Junjie, who knows the times, if you save them, you will make a deal and bow your head, don't talk about what style and ethics, if you don't save them, you will watch your brothers die in front of everyone, what kind of little general is strategizing, what kind of comradeship is life and death.
The soldiers inside the walled city held their breath.
"What should I do?" Someone turned their heads to each other.
"You can't see death without help!"
"Isn't it just a life, blood without tears!"
The people gritted their teeth and shouted angrily with their swords, and when one person got up, several followed.
"Instead of being a turtle with a shrunken head, it is better to open the door of the village now, and you can die a bright death." What kind of lost dogs, and stealing their lives, all of them will be returned.
The shouts came and went, as if they were provoked by the white-faced scholar outside, and the humble fear of the soldiers in the walled city completely turned into lonely anger, and the noisy shouting was inseparable for a while.
"Shut up!" Zhou Ye drank in vain, his face was not good, the wound on his shoulder was still oozing blood, and his eyes stayed on the silent Lu Yixuan.
The little girl tilted her head slightly, her eyes swept over all the indignant faces, all of them were disgraced and embarrassed, this scene made her feel ridiculous, and Liang Liang choked from her chest: "It's up to you? โ
The backhand hilt hit the waist and abdomen of the most fierce soldier on the side, and the little soldier was caught off guard and fell to the ground, look, just like this mentality and body, you have to pretend to be a love for the sea and the sky to fight to the death with the thieves who don't know the situation outside, and the sharp edge of the sword that pulls the flower is shining through the sun and shaking everyone's eyes.
"Whoever wants to go out and be a hero, let him pass under my sword." Lu Yixing's face was expressionless, she didn't seem to have considered any coercion and transaction from the white-faced scholars outside at all, and her deliberate understatement made everyone's hearts even more like fire.
"You're afraid, we're not afraid!" Some people can't bear it, and the brothers outside spend months together day and night, and who doesn't want to be successful and famous, who doesn't want to go home safely, why should they sacrifice their lives alone?
The angry little soldier straightened his armor and raised his sword, and before the crook of his arm swept over Lu Yixuan's face, the girl shot very quickly, pressed her elbow slightly, swept down, and the light armor made a crisp touch sound, and the long hair brushed over the soldier's face, and the person was thrown to the ground.
Lu Yixuan looked at him condescendingly, folded the long sword horizontally behind his back, and bit the root of his teeth carefully to find that her fingertips were constantly trembling, and there were blood stains under the light armor of her wrists that were skillfully concealed in the past, but Lu Yixuan knew very well in his heart that the wound on his back must be completely torn, and the pain spread to his limbs, sticky and greasy mixed with slightly sour sweat stains, and the pain was like ants gnawing on flesh and blood.
But she could only remain silent.
The white-faced scholar outside the walled city waited for a long time and did not see any movement in the walled city, and he sighed.
"What a ruthless heart."
A stick of incense, the time has come.
Lu Yixuan stepped back slightly, facing the faces that were confused, puzzled, and even angry and indignant at him: "I want you all to listen and watch." โ
She raised her hand, and the blade pointed at the black, bronze door of cast iron.
The rich smell of blood almost covered the rancid stench that had been eliminated by the grass and trees, the vines in the mountains and forests were splashed with blood, and the young soldiers tied up with five flowers were all in different places, and the blades carried the crisp sound of birds and birds in the forest, and under the signal of the white-faced scholar's eyes, the flesh and blood were blurred.
The captured soldiers fell covered in blood.
The whistling wind of the long knife, the mournful cry that was too late to shout, obviously could not be captured in the empty mountains, but the scene of the river of blood could be vividly imprinted in the minds of everyone in the walled city.
You have to watch, listen, and rememberโhow these thieves are cruel and insulting to people who share life and death, they are the scourge of Dayan, the thorn of the court, the jackals, tigers and leopards, and the crime deserves death.
No one groans, no one begs for mercy, and no one is greedy for life or afraid of death.
The light was faint, and gradually, the setting sun was immersed in the distant mountains, and the light and shadow were bright and dark.
"Hard bones." The white-faced scholar squinted his eyes and sneered, "You still hope that General Su Xiao will come to the rescue, don't be delusional, the surname Su is indeed smart and good at protecting everything, and he will send someone to the mountainside to pick up Zhang Jianzhi in a moment, if the team was not stopped in the middle of the road, Deputy General Lu would not have been trapped under the fog Ming Peak, "The scholar is like an old gentleman, not impatient and expounding the situation to the people in the walled city, I hope that this kind of thing is originally slim and unavailable," Su Yi porridge, I have to be busy to save Qiu Lian who is trapped in Yueling Gorge, yes, those two guys are indeed resourceful and decisive, fast as the wind, rare generals, several small cities are afraid that they have been destroyed and will not escape this catastrophe, but as long as Deputy General Lu is in our hands, then Su Yi Congee and Qiu Lian will throw a mouse trap, and they will never dare to act rashly after losing thousands of troops. โ
The white-faced scholar paced back and forth, this person has clear thinking and eloquence, when to give you a whip, when to hand over a piece of candy, he wants to control your fear and weakness, and your timidity and fear, as long as the bottom line of the person is broken, you have to think about the consequences according to his ideas.
"Vice General Lu, you are a smart person, you should know what General Su Xiao will do." The white-faced scholar shook his head, the sunset was darkening under the fallen leaves, and the birdsong was quiet, in his opinion, Lu Yixuan was just a sixteen-year-old girl's family, when did the heart and eyes in the court become so big, and he actually sent two young men who had not dried up to suppress the thieves who had been entrenched in the mountains for many years in the 100,000 mountains, it was simply whimsical.
It's just that this little girl broke into Shunning Mansion single-handedly and slashed Xichuan Hou with a knife, which is really jaw-dropping.
From the trembling words of Governor Zhang, this little girl who did not play her cards according to reason became a tricky product-
Knotty?
The white-faced scholar doesn't think so.
No matter how smart you are, it's not like you're at the end of your game.
He paced leisurely, folding the leaves above his head: "Su Yicongee will definitely go down the mountain to ask for help, and he will never look for people from Mohe Shunning Mansion," this white-faced scholar squinted slightly, if he remembered correctly, Su Yicongee had been in Shunning when he was young, because the merchants in Nancheng were slaughtered by thieves, this little beggar hacked one of the thieves to death like a madman, and he loved and hated clearly at a young age and was not afraid of life and death," the official suddenly wanted to take a look, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. โ
It seems that this crackdown on bandits has never been a fishing net that the imperial court wants to collect, but a conspiracy many years ago that has been reincarnated again.
Now that the army of bandits has been beaten in pieces, look at the current embarrassing situation of those high-spirited little generals who want to make meritorious contributions, and the next good show has not yet begun.
This white-faced scholar obviously has a high status among the bandits, and he is also a government officer, and he may have been a thief in his early years, and his entry into the officialdom made him accustomed to the wonders of covering the sky and trading money and power.
There was no sound or response from within the walled city, and Vice Admiral Lu looked very calm.
The sky is getting dark, campfires are lit in the mountains and forests, dotted with stars, and you can only know how many thieves have surrounded the entire walled city under the sky, from the front camp to the wind whistles on both sides-
Unable to escape.
"It's been two days, and there has been no movement in the village, why don't we just attack them and wipe them out." The reckless man couldn't hold back his fists, and two days ago, he had a good time with the so-called "army of bandits", and it was difficult to get rid of his temperament, not to mention, the trouble sent by the court to them was cleaned up as soon as possible.
"What's the hurry," the white-faced scholar crooked the corners of his mouth, as if he despised the urgency of these bandits, "the more you force them, the easier it is to provoke the same enemy and die generously. โ
At that time, if you don't come out and surrender, you have to wait for someone to collect the body, why rush in at this time to fight to the death with them.
The man's abacus played very well, he raised his head to look at the camp flag on the benchmark, the sharp tip of the flag was hanging a few human heads swaying in the wind, but it was not seen in front of the camp two days ago, the wind and sun had already corroded a little, the scholar did not feel disgusted, he was even interested.
Mo He Shunning, there are no good people and bad people, there are no officials and bandits, they are all grasshoppers in the same boat, whoever makes the slightest mistake, the nobles in Shengjing City thousands of miles away will abandon you like a shoe, and your life is worthless.
He shook his robe, kicked the bonfire, the star foam flew like a firefly on a summer night, after so many years, the court has sent shrimp soldiers and crabs to watch, those so-called feudal officials are here, which one can escape the same routine, money and power trading is better than licking blood on the tip of everyone's knife.
The bandits also laughed disdainfully when they heard this.
Suddenly, in the middle of the night, there was a mountain wind blowing up the robes in vain, and the crunching sound of cast iron was particularly clear in the dark night, it was the gate of the walled city, and the scholar's heart jumped and hurriedly looked towards the sound, the walled city in the past two days was quiet during the day, silent in the middle of the night, and even without the slightest fire, it seemed to be a pool of stagnant water.
Now in the middle of the night, the iron door suddenly opened, don't you want to gamble on your destiny?!
I could only hear the noisy shouts suddenly resounding through the mountains and forests, and it was actually a team of dozens of people shouting angrily and rushing towards the campfire of the bandits, the golden drums were ringing in unison, the swords were rattling, and hundreds of figures had jumped up and scuffled into a pot of porridge.
Knife light and blood shadow.
The white-faced scholar's originally stunned expression suddenly became hideous, and he sneered: "There are always ghosts who send death." โ
