In the Shuai Mansion, fidgeting.

Since the Holy Decree came, 25,000 people were stationed in Dingyuan Pass, and the three big men lived in his Shuai Mansion, he himself was regarded as dead, and he had no chance to do anything to make a secret redemption.

What's more, he has no background, no one to rely on, and the border is far away from Beijing, so he has no time to defend himself even if he wants to fight to the death.

The decree was given in no uncertain terms, and 25,000 elite soldiers were ordered to supervise its implementation. Any act of confrontation will give them the right to punish by the Holy Order, and once any compulsory punishment begins, conflicts and disputes are inevitable, and now the entire Dingyuan Pass is already in full swing, and there is a crisis everywhere, and it cannot withstand any chaos.

His heart was like boiling oil, but he still had to support himself, calm down the turmoil, settle disputes everywhere, try to persuade everyone, and even had to be a villain to forcibly suppress everyone's grievances.

You can see the depression and anger in everyone's eyes, and you can see the dissatisfaction and contempt that everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak. However, he couldn't tell half of the sentences, so he had to bear them one by one in silence.

According to the laws and regulations of the country, soldiers who disturb the punishment will be beaten with 50 military sticks at the lightest, and the heaviest can be beheaded on the spot. And the generals are so resistant to the order and offended the powerful people in the DPRK and China so much, there is no hope for any future in the future.

These people are the pillars of the army who have been honed by years of hard fighting, and no matter what, they must be preserved.

If the anger in everyone's hearts must need an object to vent, then Lu Dongli would rather be himself.

Such suffering and pain, such silence and patience, but still having to accompany the smiling face, to deal with the minister who always finds an opportunity to entangle himself and does not allow him to have the slightest free time to grieve.

Now, the only thing he hopes for is to escape first, but he clearly understands in his heart that he is ......

"Marshal, General Feng has returned to the city." The sound of the soldiers outside the door was panicked and helpless.

The old eunuch He Ming smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and stood up: "It's here." ”

He Zhuo, the secretary of the military department, smiled: "Lu Shuai, we should do a holy errand." ”

Only Meng Tiancheng frowned slightly, looked at Lu Dongli, whose whole expression was suffocated at that moment, looked at the bottomless darkness in his eyes, and sighed softly, faintly.

"General......

"General......

"General Wind......"

"Wait......"

The sound of clear and powerful footsteps came from far and near in a chaotic shout.

"What are you yelling about, when I enter the Shuai's Mansion, I want you to stop and report."

People from outside are coming fast. The three people in the hall had just stood up, and at the door of the hall, the handsome general with a bright face had already walked in.

Such eyebrows, such a smile, is it a gust of wind swept into the hall, or is it a blazing sun, shining through the darkness.

The three of them only felt that there was an inexplicable light in front of them, and the light in the world seemed to be concentrated on only one person.

But the man had already bowed to Lu Dongli calmly: "Marshal, Jinjie is fortunate not to be dishonored, and I am here to give orders." ”

Lu Dongli still sat in place and didn't move, but his eyes were staring at Feng Jinjie, and there was crazy anger in his eyes. The fury is almost like substance, and it wants to burn people into ashes.

Why, you refused to leave, why did you have to come back, why did you enter the city, and immediately appeared in the Shuaifu in the blink of an eye, so that I didn't have the slightest chance to be caught off guard, why, why......

His heart was clearly sad and knew what it was, but he could never suppress the angry roar of pain in his chest.

Meng Tiancheng was stunned and looked at everything in front of him, what was going on, Lu Dongli faced the wind and Jinjie, not only did he not feel a trace of guilt and sadness, but he was angry as if he wanted to choose someone to eat. He pretended to be a brave warrior in a hundred battles, but he was so frightened by the angry look of a literati that he involuntarily took half a step back, and even this anger was not directed at him.

But Feng Jinjie seemed to be unaware, just smiled faintly, calmly looked at Lu Dongli, and his eyes were calm and incredible.

He Ming and He Zhuo didn't pay attention to Lu Dongxuan, as soon as Feng Jinjie came in, their eyes didn't leave this person.

The old eunuch He Ming immediately took out the holy decree and shouted: "The wind is strong." ”

Feng Jinjie didn't look at him, but bowed down in response. The old and sharp voice next to his ear was slowly reading something, and he didn't listen carefully at all, just looked at Lu Dongli calmly. From the moment he came in, his eyes never left Lu Dongli for a moment.

I know what you're struggling with.

I understand your feelings.

You didn't do anything wrong.

You do everything you have to do and have to do.

Without making a sound, Lu Dongli could see everything that was expressed in his eyes. At this moment, he still wanted to comfort him, and he still wanted to do his best to resolve his pain.

It has always been like this, abandoned by him on the most dangerous battlefield, after he broke it off for him, he was mercilessly tortured by him, he broke it down for him, he pushed him out as a sacrifice, but he still wanted to free him.

It has always been like this, he has failed him again and again, and he, always understand, always understand, will always bear his share with him.

However, all this made Lu Dongli even more angry, although he didn't know if this anger was aimed at Feng Jinjie or himself.

Why do you treat me like this, why do you forgive me like this, why you refuse to be selfish even once, why you refuse to let go of me and think about yourself even once.

His fists clenched in his sleeves, and he even gurgled because of the force.

And this time

After the announcement, Feng Jinjie still didn't make a sound, still staring at Lu Dongliang, but lightly pressed on the sword on his waist.

Meng Tiancheng gasped, took a step forward intentionally or unintentionally, and half-stopped in front of He Ming, the eunuch who announced the decree.

But the wind festival seemed to be completely unaware of all this. He still only looks at Lu Dongli, but only at Lu Dongli.

In the end, it still made him miserable.

There were so many things I wanted to say to him, really, I didn't know what to say or do.

Therefore, the silence of each other at this moment, the helpless silence at this moment, or it is also a kind of compassion for each other.

The hilt of the sword is clenched in the palm of the hand, in fact, I have already thought about what to do, right? In fact, I have planned to use the cleanest and neatest way to reduce all the pain to the shortest, but ......

The cold and cold hilt of the sword rested on his palm and ached slightly, and Feng Jinjie looked at Lu Dongli almost in a daze, and then slowly let go of his hand.

What are those crazy thoughts, what are the inexplicable expectations in the depths of my heart, what is obviously impossible, should not be, irrational, abnormal practices, it is so ridiculous......

But the hand, in the end, loosened.

Then, he smiled, turned his gaze away for the first time, looked at He Ming, and said lightly: "Thunder, rain and dew, all are heaven's graces, what does Wei Chen say." ”

He Ming nodded and waved his hand: "Come on, don't tie me up yet." ”

The soldiers around them were silent, and no one moved.

He Ming was furious and looked at Lu Dongli: "Marshal Lu, the holy purpose is this, what is the crime for you to resist and disobey." ”

Lu Dongli didn't hear it, and still stared at Feng Jinjie. Because he was afraid that he would roar out of control, he had to grit his teeth desperately, and his mouth was full of blood at the moment.

He Zhuo took a step forward, "Marshal Lu, the holy decree ordered you to carry out the law and supervise the beheading, if you don't obey, we have the holy order, and we have to ask General Meng to detain everyone one by one for the crime of resisting the decree." ”

Meng Tiancheng couldn't help but whispered: "My lord, General Lu Yuan, they and General Feng have been comrades for many years, how can they be embarrassed, it is better to order my subordinates to ......"

"General Meng." He Zhuo shouted, "This is a holy order." ”

Meng Tiancheng smiled bitterly and retreated with a sigh. looked at Lu Dongli, and then looked at the Wind Festival, and finally showed deep compassion in his eyes.

Over the years, he has also made a lot of contributions, but he has always been overshadowed by the scenery of Lu Dongli and Fengjinjie. He didn't mind.

Knowing that King Rui intended to let him take over the military power of the most elite army in the country, he was not unmoved.

It's just that seeing such a heroic tiger general, suffering such a tribulation, even if he is the last beneficiary, he still has some sadness in the end. I really don't understand in my heart, obviously finding a reason to recall people back to the capital first, and then go to prison to be executed, is the safest and safest way to kill the generals in the army, why do you have to ask the army to behead, why do you have to force Lu Dongli to personally supervise the beheading.

Is it just to make Lu Dongli lose his military morale, do he have to take such a big risk?

He Zhuo drank Meng Tiancheng away, and then accentuated his tone and shouted: "Marshal Lu." ”

Lu Dongli felt that he should not be able to think at this moment, but he clearly knew that if He Zhuo asked Meng Tiancheng to be strong and punish all those who disobeyed the order one by one, then the dispute would inevitably arise, and as long as the struggle began, it would inevitably get bigger and bigger. Finally get everyone involved.

The blood of Da Zhao Erlang will flow all over the entire Dingyuan Pass, and the Great Zhao State will no longer have an army capable of fighting, and the 80,000 army of the Chen State, no one knows, will turn back and attack.

Lu Dongli looked at Feng Jinjie fixedly, until the anger in his eyes turned into deep sadness, until the anger on his face turned into indifferent numbness.

He closed his eyes, then spoke.

The voice was surprisingly hoarse: "Tie him up and take him to the school grounds." ”

Such a low order made the hands and feet of the soldiers in the hall cold.

Lu Dongli shouted angrily: "Did you hear it?" ”

The pro-soldiers took ropes and dragged them over.

Feng Jinjie smiled and put his hands behind his back, but there was still no one to tie him up.

He sighed lightly: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to delay it, but it will embarrass me in vain, why not let me go more freely." ”

He looked back, glanced at a few marshals and soldiers, and said in a low voice: "Don't call for your marshal, isn't it enough to have me die?" ”

A few of his own soldiers trembled and tied him up as if they had been shocked, but when they bowed their heads, the men's tears fell uncontrollably on the cloak of their most respected general, who had just returned from the war for the country and had been dyed with wind and frost.

After Feng Jinjie was tied up, he didn't need to be escorted, he stood up and walked out, without even looking at Lu Dongli.

Lu Dongli watched all this indifferently, and only then did he say in a low voice: "Pass my order, all garrisons, according to their headquarters, each perform their duties, and must not leave without permission, invite a few generals to the school field, restrain other soldiers, and do not allow anyone to cause chaos." ”

The soldiers lowered their heads, almost weakly responded, before going out.

He Ming immediately shouted: "Lu Shuai, such a serious offense should be beheaded, it should be summoned to watch the whole army to watch the punishment, as a warning ......"

Before he finished speaking, Meng Tiancheng said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, if 30,000 horses gather, only one person has bad intentions and shouts loudly, it may cause a great disaster of mutiny. ”

He Ming shuddered, hesitated, and didn't dare to say anything more after all.

He is the chief eunuch of the Great Interior, with a high position and authority, and wherever he goes to spread his will, he is not arrogant, and how many officials have seen him and flattered him like dogs.

This time, I was ordered to kill the Wind Festival, and I didn't take it seriously, I just thought that I could pass on the will, but I never thought that it would

Defy.

This time, I saw that many generals were angry and defended, and many soldiers gathered to resist, causing a lot of incidents, big and small, and now I saw with my own eyes that Lu Dongli couldn't even command his own personal soldiers to tie up Fengjinjie freely. He has a sense of crisis after all. I finally realized that I was in an army of 30,000.

This heart is cold, but I can't care about it anymore. Hurriedly said: "Marshal Lu, let's go to the school field immediately to execute." ”

Lu Donglian's expression was indifferent as if he had a cold mask on his face, and his voice was so calm that he didn't have the slightest fluctuation: "Father-in-law, Lord He, General Meng, please take the first step." Execution by order is a great gift of the country, and the lower officials do not dare to perform it in ordinary daily service. Please allow me to take a step slow and change into my official uniform. ”

Generally speaking, officials rarely wear formal official uniforms outside of office hours, even in their daily life or hospitality. But beheading is a major event in the country's criminal law, which time did a supervisor behead an official dare not wear a full set of official uniforms.

Therefore, He Zhuo and He Ming didn't say much, nodded, and went to the school together.

Although Meng Tiancheng felt a little strange that he was still in the mood to change clothes at this time, he didn't think too much about it, no matter what, the matter had come to this point, and Lu Dongli couldn't change any other tricks.

He had no choice but to leave after him, just walked to the door, turned around to look at Lu Dongxuan, opened his mouth, and wanted to comfort a few words, in the end, he felt that the words at this time, whether they were sincere or false, were weak and ridiculous, and in the end, he had to sigh.

This sigh is really sincere.

He clearly saw Lu Dongli's pain, Lu Dongli's struggle, and clearly knew that Lu Dongli was loyal to the country. If it weren't for loyalty, if it weren't for the country all the time, he obviously had 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, so why should he be afraid of his 25,000 people.

Even against a country that constantly oppresses and harms itself, he still defends it to the end and still refuses to give up. However, he loved the country, but the country did not love him. He sacrificed everything, even his best friends, to protect all this, and the superiors of this country were well aware of his loyalty, and coldly used this loyalty to force him to do the most terrible things.

Meng Tiancheng knew that the ministers were not negotiable, but at this moment, he really had great dissatisfaction with King Rui.

Lord Wang, why do you have to do this?

In order to seize military power, in order to win over the nine kings, some people must be sacrificed, but why can't the heroes be given a minimum of respect, can't they be given the meager dignity of Zhongliang, and why can't they be allowed to die happily and without torture?

He shook his head and left in silence.

Lu Dongli still stood there motionless, and the few remaining soldiers in the hall also stood indifferently.

Nobody looked at their manager, no one said a word or moved.

Until the sound of water droplets falling to the ground attracted a personal soldier to look for him, his eyes fixed at Lu Dongli's feet, and he exclaimed: "Marshal, you are injured." ”

Several other people also saw the blood drops under Lu Dongli's hands at the same time, and everyone rushed over together, and without saying a word, they opened his sleeves and raised his hand hard.

The ten fingers of Lu Donglian's hands had already been caught into his own flesh and blood, and the dripping blood and torn flesh were all shocking.

The soldier screamed and tried to pull his fingers away, but he only felt that he was holding so tightly, so tightly. It was so tight that two or three people tried hard, but they couldn't even pull it.

I don't know who suddenly cried bitterly: "Marshal, don't ...... like this"

I don't know who pounced in pain and knelt on the ground: "Marshal, please......"

I don't know who shouted heartbreakingly: "Marshal, it's all our fault, obviously you are the most uncomfortable one, and we all blame you, but marshal, you have to be uncomfortable, you beat us, scold us, you roar, scream, don't ...... like this"

Lu Donglian's eyes were still staring blankly ahead, and he actually couldn't hear the crying around him very clearly, and he didn't know what everyone was talking about, but his hands were ten fingers, and they slowly let go.

The soldiers trembled and held his hands, looking at the flesh and blood in the palms of his hands, which had been completely scratched.

A man's nails are originally short and blunt, how much strength do you need to scratch your palms to such a point?

The soldiers were in a hurry to give him medicine and bandage, Lu Dongli struggled slightly, and raised his hands: "Don't bother, help me change my clothes quickly, I can't ......"

He raised his eyes and looked out of the hall, his eyes were blank, and his voice was wooden: "I can't let Qingjie wait for me all the time." ”
