Chapter 393: Death
Originally, Ling Tianhan didn't want Zhu Xinghe to go to this "battlefield" with him, so naturally everyone knew that Zhu Xinghe's identity was the most appropriate in the rear.
But Zhu Xinghe didn't have to say anything, Ling Tianhan could also see that Zhu Xinghe wanted to be with him. Even if it was just to accompany him, as long as Ling Tianhan saw Zhu Xinghe's eyes, if he refused, he couldn't say anything.
However, he still didn't let Zhu Xinghe's horse walk in the front, but let her walk in the middle. Zhu Xinghe looked at it, her surroundings were heavily guarded by the most elite soldiers, and a hundred years was enough to feel that Ling Tianhan had a heart for her.
All the way to Qingzhou, Zhu Xinghe originally thought that the army of tens of thousands of people would not travel too fast.
Unexpectedly, they traveled all night without stopping. The front was staggered, and there was only a short rest time, and soon we were in the woods outside Cheongju City!
Outside the city of Cheongju, there are more and more displaced people.
But the gates of Cheongju Castle are still closed. There were even soldiers guarding the city at the gates, constantly using their swords and guns to drive away the displaced people who were still coming.
In the woods, they paused.
It was 10 o'clock in the night, and there was no one in the woods. Before the light was bright, Ling Tianhan ordered people to rest.
Zhu Xinghe was amazed, and sure enough, he saw that Ling Tianhan was a talented person: in fact, night and day are nothing, and people are the most sleepy when they are about to dawn. I'm afraid that he plans to attack Cheongju City from that time, which is enough to catch Cheongju City off guard.
Naturally, the work of this night cannot be delayed. It is to let the soldiers who are rushing all the way get a rest, and also let a team of scouts go out to explore the road, see what is the situation outside Cheongju City, what is the distribution of troops on the top of the city tower, and by the way, guard the surroundings. If they can stay undetected, they may be able to wait until dawn. But if there are people passing by at night, I am afraid that their whereabouts will not be hidden.
In this deep forest, although there were many of them, only Ling Tianhan was in front of him, and a faint fire was ignited.
What shocked Zhu Xinghe was that although there were tens of thousands of troops hidden in the deep forest, as long as Ling Tianhan gave an order, they all seemed to have quietly disappeared into the deep forest, and there was no sound of more than one chance encounter!
Tonight, the wind was strong, and the sound of the wind rustled the leaves in the deep forest, and it also drowned out the little sound that remained. Let the hiding of these tens of thousands of people be a little more flawless.
Zhu Xinghe walked to the only place where there was firelight, and saw that Ling Tianhan was already waiting for him there.
There was a pot beside him, and the aroma of boiled meat filled the area.
Zhu Xinghe stepped forward, and he beckoned to Zhu Xinghe: "Ah Xing, come and warm up." The night in the woods is very cool. ”
Presumably, this kind of coolness is nothing to Ling Tianhan, who has been fighting at the border all year round, right?
Zhu Xinghe walked to Ling Tianhan's side, and just when he put his hand on the fire and felt the warmth, he looked at the scouts who had already run to the first team to explore in the distance.
In the dark forest, the scout's figure was perfectly hidden. It suddenly appeared in front of him, and Zhu Xinghe was startled.
The scout suddenly appeared in front of Ling Tianhan and reported to Ling Tianhan about the situation outside Qingzhou City. It seems that he is only responsible for inquiring about the situation outside the city, and they have their own duties.
In the dark night, there was the sound of the wind, which made the scout say that the butterfly sounded a little chilly.
But the situation outside Cheongju City is obviously even more chilling!
According to the scout, since the gates of Cheongju City were closed, people had begun to starve to death outside the city.
And the most infuriating thing is that three days ago, there were finally righteous people among the displaced people who united with the displaced people and wanted to start rebelling against the tyranny of Cheongju City.
They know that, in their own power, they cannot be solved by powerlessness. Therefore, several righteous men united with the displaced people and wrote a bloody letter at the gate of Cheongju City, asking to see the Cheongju Castle Guard and talk to the Cheongju Castle Guard about the shelter of the displaced people in person.
To the surprise of the homeless, after seeing the blood book, the Cheongju city guard actually nodded and stood on the city tower to reassure the homeless people not to panic. And let the exiles choose a man to be the leader, and enter the city, and negotiate with him.
So all the displaced people thought that they saw hope. They even cheered under the city for a while, and everyone seemed to see the courage to continue to live.
On the same day, they elected five righteous men to represent them, and among these righteous men, there were even two other famous gentlemen, and one was a talented man.
The displaced people thought that if they had a few of them to negotiate with the castle guard, even if they could not convince the castle keeper to let them flee into the city, they would finally be able to get them some rice and food. In fact, the requirements of the displaced people are not so complicated.
They were full of joy and sent these men into the city early the next morning.
It's just that no one expected that at noon, the heads of three of them would be hung on the gate of Cheongju City!
This time, the castle keeper did not show up, but the general of Cheongju personally stood on the castle tower, carrying the head of one of them, and said angrily to the people below him that they wanted to assassinate the castle guard, so they were captured, and then killed with a cane.
But who doesn't know in their hearts that this is nothing more than a scam for the homeless? It is to trick these people who are "troublemakers" in Cheongju City into thinking of it, and then kill them, so that the troubles of the homeless people can be quelled, so that the homeless people will die of the heart of entering the city.
From heaven to hell, it only takes half a day.
Although the remaining two were not beheaded, they were imprisoned in Cheongju City, and no one knew their whereabouts. Even most of the displaced people thought that they might have been killed by the Cheongju city guards. It's just that the city guard was afraid that killing all five of them would cause the displaced people to resist desperately in anger, so they kept two of them to appease the feelings of the displaced people.
Hearing the scout say this, Ling Tianhan's eyes were already extremely ugly.
The five righteous men elected by the displaced people are all well-informed and precious people. Today's DPRK and China are in such a state of confusion because of the lack of such people.
However, the Cheongju City Guard actually took the lives of three of them in the most cruel way, and even separated their bodies!
Ling Tianhan only hated in his heart, they were still one step late, and let those people die in vain!
