Chapter 32: A New Force
"Let's go inside!" Mo Beitian behind him said expressionlessly.
The one-eyed Zhang was already tied up by the five flowers at this time, he turned his head to look at Mo Beitian and smiled slightly: "Young man, there are some things you won't understand." β
"Now I don't need to understand, and you don't need to talk to me. If you have anything to say, go in and talk to the marshal! Mo Beitian still had a straight face when he spoke.
One-eyed Zhang shook his head and walked into the Chinese army's tent with small steps.
Mo Beitian also followed him in.
Behind them, a large crowd was talking......
"What's going on, you say? Actually tied up General Zhang!? Which one is this singing? β
"I don't know. I heard that General Zhang collaborated with the enemy. β
"Collaboration with the enemy? Impossible, right? Isn't General Zhang a good brother who has lived and died with Dashuai? How could he collaborate with the enemy? β
"I don't know, I'll have an explanation when they come out. Alas, hopefully these are just a misunderstanding. β
"It's better to misunderstand, I don't want to have to deal with my own people just after I win the battle. Isn't this a nest fight? β
"That's it, but we're all from the original village, don't really make trouble!"
The man with a hat stood by and listened quietly to the soldiers' discussions, but he was thinking about something.
One-eyed Zhang turned out to be his master. The hat ghost was originally a Langzhong, and when he was young, he met the one-eyed Zhang who was still a nobleman. Although the hat ghost is a man, he has a hobby that is very incommensurate with his profession - he likes hidden weapons. And this hobby also happened to be a one-eyed hobby, and the two of them quickly became good friends when they were like-minded. However, due to the high status of One-Eyed Zhang at that time, the hat ghost became their family's royal doctor on the scene. In other words, these two people are ostensibly a master-servant relationship, but in fact they are real brothers with different surnames.
Now that One-Eyed has had an accident and has been beaten as a traitor who collaborates with the enemy, this has to make him think of his fate. Although he did not know about the matter of collaborating with the enemy, it was difficult to guarantee that such a matter would not implicate him. If you really cut yourself off because of one-eyed Zhang collaborating with the enemy. That's a great injustice.
At the thought that his head might not be saved, the already pale face of the hat ghost suddenly became frosty.
I won't mention the things that the hat ghost is thinking about outside the tent for the time being, because there is something more important to be clarified, that is, the question of whether this General Zhang collaborated with the enemy.
When he walked into the big tent, Xiao Wanlong was already sitting in his seat. He looked at the one-eyed Zhang standing in front of him with a gloomy face and said, "I think it's better for you to say it yourself." β
"What did the marshal ask me to say? I do not quite understand. He said with a relaxed face.
Xiao Wanlong touched his beard: "You don't understand? Hmph, I think you're pretending to be confused! Well, I'll tell you, you're a mole! It's a traitor to our original village! He raised his voice as he spoke, as if he wanted to eat the one-eyed Zhang in front of him in one bite.
"If the marshal knows, why do you still ask me?" One-eyed Zhang didn't seem to care about Xiao Wanlong's exaggerated performance.
Xiao Wanlong sighed helplessly when he saw that One-Eyed Zhang had an indifferent face. Say, "I just want an explanation. I want to know that you weishenme are going to betray me? Brothers who betrayed their own life and death? Betraying the people who gave birth to you and raised you? β
One-eyed Zhang suddenly hahadaxiao, his laughter arrogant with a hint of desolation. This laughter made Xiao Wanlong shudder.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Wanlong asked angrily.
"I'm laughing at you for being naΓ―ve." One-eyed replied faintly.
"Naive? What do you mean? β
"I mean, you don't know anything about the situation. Do you think that if you defeat the original people of the Republic, you will find freedom and tranquility? No, this is just the beginning, the beginning of our enslavement! Xiao Wanlong, your revolution will only lead everyone to despair! One-Eyed Zhang roared like madness.
"Slavery? What do you know? Hurry up and tell me! Xiao Wanlong was also anxious. He jumped out of his seat and asked, pointing to his one-eyed nose.
One-eyed Zhang pursed his lips slightly. Say, "I don't know more than you do. But I can tell you that you're not the only one who knows about the Guardian Stone and the communications device. β
"You're... Who told you about the Guardian Stone? Who is it! Xiao Wanlong was a little hysterical.
"Why are you scared? Afraid that I will confess your informant? Hehe, I'm not that bored. Now that the situation does not allow for further disputes, we must find a way to deal with our common enemy. One-eyed Zhang said.
"A common enemy? No, we have only one enemy, and that is the republic! I must destroy them, only in this way can the people of the original village live a good life! Xiao Wanlong's meaning couldn't be clearer. He didn't want to listen to One-Eyed Zhang's explanations anymore.
One-eyed Zhang himself also saw Xiao Wanlong's intentions, and he smiled contemptuously: "After so many years, you are still so naΓ―ve, too impulsive. Don't you know that your impulsiveness will hurt everyone? β
"I'm going to hurt everyone? Hmph, I think it's harmful, right? Wang, they died because of you! You're the culprit! Xiao Wanlong asked.
"Nope. That's just a necessary sacrifice. I'm also sad that they died, after all, they are all brothers who have suffered together, but I can't give up everyone because of personal feelings! Even if you kill me today, I'll tell you I can't do it! The more the one-eyed Zhang spoke, the more excited he became, and he simply straightened his chest and confronted Xiao Wanlong in front of him.
Xiao Wanlong's eyes widened, staring at One-Eyed Zhang deadly, and said, "That's true, I have to let you die today." Because if you don't die, I won't be able to give an account to my dead brothers, let alone my living brothers! β
"Really? Hehe, it would be great if this was the case, I didn't want to live anymore for betraying my brother like this, but I didn't want to do what I had to do to make me feel useless. Dashuai, you are indeed very smart, you actually saw through my tricks so quickly, it seems that losing the battle can really let you find out right from wrong! But what's the use of that? You can't defeat the Republic even if I die, let alone defeat a bigger enemy. β
Xiao Wanlong retracted his gaze, he turned around and walked back to his seat, and said, "I have to tell you two things: first, I don't doubt you because of the Battle of Baicheng. I had always felt like something was wrong with you long before that. In the beginning, you talked about personal freedom at my daughter's wedding, and you said it would affect morale. Such high-sounding words sound right at first, but when you taste them carefully, there is a problem. Even if my daughter's affairs affect my expedition, then I can postpone the dispatch for a few days, which is not a big deal, but you will not give up. Now it seems obvious that you have sold the information that we are going to send troops to the Republic, so you don't want to delay the dispatch and leave the people above you empty. In other words, you are not doing this for my family harmony, but completely for your own wishful thinking! Your jihua thought of it back when I was in Haydham. At this time, think that the Weishenme Republic will send reinforcements so quickly, this is obviously the intelligence you sent!
It's a pity that I didn't have any evidence at that time and couldn't draw conclusions, but this incident in the White City made me completely convinced that you were a traitor. You know? It was because you urged me to withdraw from the army that I came to the conclusion that you are a spy, and you exposed yourself by yourself!
Second, I am aware of the enemy you speak of. I found joy since Li Haowen brought that group of abnormal fighters. It is impossible for the Republic and the Seventh Division to have soldiers of such combat power, and it is clear that the third shili intervened in this war. The group of guys hiding behind must be trying to take advantage of the fisherman. Do you think I'll not be able to see it? β
One-eyed Zhang quietly listened to Xiao Wanlong's explanation, and his eyes gradually dimmed: "Dashuai, you are still too naΓ―ve!" The third parties you mentioned do exist, and I leaked our information to them, but they're not the ones we're dealing with. In fact, these people may still be our allies, but the time is not yet ripe! β
"You're saying there's a fourth party involved?" Xiao Wanlong asked.
One-eyed Zhang looked at Mo Yantian, who was standing behind him, and said sharply: "If you want to know the answer, let the guy behind me go out first!" (To be continued......)
