Chapter 039 [Angry People Don't Pay for Their Lives]
At the junction of Qingyang Territory and Reims Province, there is a plain called the Wailing Wilderness, according to legend, when the territory of the Tianhua Empire and the Auckland Empire has not yet expanded into this plain, there is an ancient and barbaric people living here, they will bury all the enemies and sinners who violate the rules of their own tribe, and the most outrageous thing is that they do not choose an open space to be buried alive, but are buried alive in the area where they live.
It is said that after these people are buried alive, they will not immediately lose their breath, they will struggle and wail, and during the day, everyone goes out hunting, and even when they return home, there will be all kinds of movements, and the sunlight also increases everyone's courage, and there seems to be nothing wrong, but at night, when everything is silent, the wails of people who have been buried in the ground and have not completely lost their breath will be heard, and on the ground, the living people will spend every night in such an environment.
Because of barbarism, other tribes and nations around them did not dare to provoke them, for fear that they would also become a member of the wailing, but also because of barbarism, their civilization was very backward, when the powerful Tianhua and Auckland came, the fierce murderous spirit and strong physique could not make up for the fragile weapons and rudimentary armor, under the attack of the Tianhua and Aucklanders, this nation disappeared in the long river of history, only this legendary wilderness that will still wail at night is still here, unchanged for eternity.
Early in the morning, the troops of Qingyang Collar and the troops of Reims Province were concentrated on both sides of the Wailing Wilderness, the armies on both sides were clearly clothed, and they knew at a glance that they were elite divisions, but the slight difference was that the soldiers on Tianhua's side were full of spirit and high morale, while Auckland, on the other hand, was silent one by one, and there was no excitement on their faces about the coming war, and even the pace of progress seemed weak.
The two armies gradually approached in the face of the enemy, neither side launched an attack, and their respective crossbowmen did not release their arrows, so they came to a position less than a hundred meters away before stopping, although the two sides still did not take any action, but the aura of slaughter still permeated the entire wilderness, under the suppression of such a strong murderous aura, it seemed that even the souls buried in the wailing wilderness did not dare to make a sound at will.
Suddenly, the middle of the army on Tianhua's side of the road soldiers suddenly separated to both sides, a large avenue appeared in the Tianhua array, several figures on war horses stood at the end of the avenue, and behind these people, there were two prisoner carts, Zhao Zheng and Wen Fang, He Chuan and other Tianhua generals, as well as He Ping, all rode horses along this avenue forward, and the prisoner carts behind also gradually approached the front line.
There was movement on Tianhua's side, and Auckland's side was not without reaction, at this time, among the troops on the Auckland side, the Chinese army also made way of a road, but compared to the neatness of Tianhua's side, Auckland's troops were like a ragtag army, and after messily letting go of a path that was not too wide, several people on war horses also rushed to the front of the two armies from behind along this path, and the momentum was much weaker than that of Tianhua's side.
Tianhua's side is Zhao Zheng to take the lead, and the Auckland side is riding a horse and walking in the front, it is He Ping who has seen Trevor in the treasure house, the main generals of the two sides walked out of the two army formations, until less than fifty meters away, the two sides stopped together, Zhao Zheng and Trevor looked at each other, sighed, thinking that back then, they still drank together. Niu's best friend, in a blink of an eye, it became a meeting under such circumstances.
"Trevor!"
"Zhao Zheng!"
How long has it been since the two of them called each other's names face to face? Three years? Or five years? At the beginning of the war, after Zhao Zheng's father Zhao Long was killed, the two families broke off contact, Trevor presided over government affairs in the rear, and Zhao Zheng led the troops in the army.
"Trevor! I think you know why I'm here this time. Zhao Zheng took the first step to wake up from his memories and said to Trevor in Auckland: "Wolf and Bryan are heinous crimes, and heaven cannot tolerate them, the crimes they committed in my Qingyang Territory are unforgivable, I am here today to publicly try these two people in front of everyone, and when their crimes are recognized, I will publicly execute them both here!" ”
"Hey! Can I still intercede with you now? Trevor opened his mouth, and it was actually a proficient Tianhua language: "No matter what, they are also my uncles and cousins, I can't sit idly by, you know this, and spread the news like this, this is obviously forcing me to come forward, I have also heard some of what they did, I understand what their trial and execution today mean to Qingyang Ling, but I still have to say that the Lance family is willing to pay the ransom, please let them go." ”
Zhao Zheng was unmoved, and said, "Are you done talking?" If nothing else, I'm going to start a public trial, and if you want to forcibly rescue the two of them, then I'm always welcome, I've long wanted to see the current Lord of Lance leading the troops to fight! ”
"Hey, you ......" Trevor was a little speechless, his military incompetence is well known to everyone, not to mention that the morale of the two armies is so different at the moment, even if the state is the same, in the absence of Wolf's father and son, Trevor has no confidence to defeat Zhao Zheng in the battle, and just as he sighed, his eyes were slightly off, and He Ping, who was dressed strangely, entered his sight: "This must be Mr. He Ping, if I guess correctly, both of them are planted in your hands, right?" ”
He Ping nodded and did not hide it, seeing that He Ping admitted that Zhao Zheng did not have any objections, Trevor opened his mouth and said, "I wonder if I am fortunate enough to be able to invite Mr. He Ping to Reims Province as a guest?" If Mr. He Ping can help me, I will definitely not treat Mr. He Ping badly, with Mr. He Ping's ability, I will definitely be able to make a career in Auckland. ”
At this time, you are still digging the foot of the wall? He Ping looked at this middle-aged man who was not outstanding in appearance and a little thin, and his evaluation of him in his heart had improved a lot, this sentence was interesting, such an open digging of the wall, even if it was not successful, could cause a certain amount of distrust between Zhao Zheng and He Ping, which was already a big benefit for Lance Province and the Lance family, but obviously, he underestimated He Ping and underestimated Zhao Zheng.
He Ping smiled and said: "Mr. Trevor, don't treat me like a child, I know what the aristocracy in Auckland is like, do you believe that I can make a career?" In addition...... "In line with the concept that angry people don't pay for their lives, He Ping took out a gorgeous work of art based on gold and silver and decorated with precious stones, showed it to Trevor, and said, "What do you use not to treat me badly?" ”
"The splendor of the eternal night!"
