In the quiet prison, there was silence all around, and the people who were originally held here had already been released. The gray walls, the cold iron gates, and the blackened blood stains on the ground are like a huge beast's mouth, quietly waiting for the arrival of the prey.

Only the occasional crackling of torches on the wall adds to the vividness.

The sound of chaotic footsteps broke the silence of the prison.

Wu Gen strode barefoot, holding a knife, and stepping on the firelight. Chu Xi, Ha Shan, Hu Yanmo, Zhang Chofu and others followed closely behind with food boxes.

Walking to the innermost cell, where Hashan had been held, Wu Yan stopped.

In the cell, the leopard was disheveled, his hands hung from the wall with iron hoops, and his clothes were stained with blood.

Walking to the door of the cell, Wu Jian looked through the iron railing at the man who was hanging like a big goose.

Behind him, Hashan and the others had their eyes flickering, and they didn't dare to make a sound, so they could only wait quietly.

"Open the door." Wu Yan said softly, and his voice also raised the head of the man in the prison.

Seeing Wu Gan's arrival, the man was a little surprised, but a little relieved, his mouth opened, and he didn't make a sound.

Wu Yan entered the cell and looked around, "Put it down."

So, someone put all kinds of delicacies on the table in the cell, and put wine jugs and wine cups.

Hashan led people to quickly put down the leopard and helped him to the table.

"The owner of the village......" Ha Leopard snorted, his eyes a little fluttering.

"Sit down." Wu Gen stretched out his hand and gestured, and he took the lead in sitting down.

The leopard sat down with his head bowed and said nothing.

"Each of you toasts a glass of wine, and then you all go out, and don't stay here when the room is cramped." Wu Gan commanded loudly, and poured the wine cup in front of Habao full of wine. The clear sprinklers danced and danced in the dim light of the torches.

With Chu Xi taking the lead, these people stepped forward one by one to toast, and after toasting, they turned around and walked out of the prison door. After drinking each lamp, Wu Gen personally filled the habao with it.

After everyone had finished drinking, Wu Gan poured himself a glass of wine, "Come, Habao, I respect you."

"Lord, I'm ......." Ha Leopard's hands trembled slightly, and he picked up his wine cup.

Wu Qian waved his hand, drank it all, reached out and grabbed a handful of beans and stuffed them into his mouth, "Ha Bao, the first time we met was in Sixing Village."

"That's right, when I made two mistakes, I also spoke wildly, and I was cleaned up by the owner of the village." The leopard's face was smiling miserably, and his eyes were a little red.

"yes, it's been a long time." Wu Yan was also quite emotional, and reached out to clip a few pieces of rabbit meat to the leopard, "Come on, eat, press your stomach, or the cold wine will be intoxicating."

"I wish I was drunk at this time, but when I woke up, I was back to where I was." The harpher apparently had no appetite and only took a small piece of meat into his mouth.

"In this life, empty names are like dreams, and they can tell when they are awake and when they are dreams." Wu Yan sandwiched a piece of fish into his stomach, and couldn't help nodding again and again, "This fish is good, come, taste it." I'm not going to talk about anything else today, just drink."

At this time, the leopard also let go, gulped down the dishes, and poured a cup for Wu Gen from time to time, and everything in the room became vivid.

The two chatted while eating, and Wu Gen recalled all the way about starting from Shixing Village, working hard, and finally establishing the three villages of Shixing, Lingyun and Jianfa. Then he told the story of what he had done in the Iron Hand Province, and when it came to the thrilling place, Ha Leopard couldn't help but smack his tongue.

After chatting for half an hour, the outsiders had added wine three times in a row, and the two of them had not lost half of their chat.

"Lord, now the dreadnought army is strong enough, but it has to go to sea." Ha Leopard's face was a little red, and he asked while holding a leg of mutton in his hand and gnawing on it.

"I have to wait a little longer, I am ready to take the territory of Shule Province south of Liangsha Mountain in my hands, so that Zuoheng Road and Liangsha Mountain will eventually become one, and relying on this, our army can have sufficient personnel and taxes to march into the sea." Wu Gan dipped his hand in wine and drew the terrain and the location of Hengmen Port for Habao.

"When everything is in order, the sailor has been completed, and he should kill Tianyuan Continent and Beizhou. I'll tell you, there's one on the sea

It's all strange, even on the land over there, the scenery is very different from Kuntianzhou." Wu Gan's eyes lit up, outlining his plan for Habao, telling the wonders of Beizhou and other places.

Whether it is the Fuying Pass built by himself, the huge city wall of the soldiers, or the mysterious and terrifying fog, and the magnificent mountains and rivers of various countries, they are all described to Harbour Leopard one by one.

Before you know it, the pot is empty. Wu Qian poured a glass of wine for Habao and himself, looked at the empty bottom of the pot, and couldn't help but sigh. He put down the flask and lit the dim candle flame.

The harbour leopard was already drunk at this time, lying on the table and clenching his fists. When I thought that such a magnificent prospect depicted by Wu Gen had no chance with me, I couldn't help but feel like a knife.

"The owner of the village, Habao is wrong, let these old people on Zuoheng Road can't raise their heads in the army, and you will lose face." The leopard lay on the table, tears in his eyes.

Wu Qian sighed and patted Ha Bao's shoulder, "Originally, I thought that the people who had shared hardships would still be old friends when they returned with rice wine, but this time I was wrong.

I shouldn't have listened to Yang Zheng, I used the matter of the catastrophe to figure out people's hearts, Ning Yuxi was right, people's hearts really can't be tested over and over again, I'm sorry for you, so I let you embark on this road of no return.

In fact, from your standpoint, how wrong is such a choice. Who doesn't want to hug the girl, who doesn't want to be noble in front of others, and who doesn't want to dominate one side.

But it's nothing, if you lose the bet, you can accept it safely. As for the face, everything is vain, and it is purely self-inflicted. In life, it's not like sometimes smiling at others, sometimes smiling at others, and in the end it's just a few thin plates."

Hearing the meaning of Wu Gan's words, Habao stared at the candle on the table, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Village master, Habao is willing to kill the enemy with a guilty body to atone for his sins."

Wu Yan smiled and shook his head, "There are many ways to atone for your sins, and you don't necessarily have to go into battle to kill the enemy. If you can let others take it as a warning, it is also a great good. Habao, this wine, I'll see you off."

"I understand, the owner of the village, Habao died without regrets, but I can't accompany you to make contributions, gallop across continents, and create a grand hegemony." Habao grabbed the last glass of wine, as if he was reluctant to drink it in one gulp, and drank it slowly little by little.

Wu Gen also drank it gently, patted his leg and sighed, "The so-called meritorious deeds are just a momentary success. Don't say that a thousand years is a hundred years, hegemony will turn into dust, and the grand plan will be empty. Habao, it's not early, I'm leaving, I asked them to prepare steamed buns, eat a few, don't be hungry on the road."

Habao looked at the big steamed bun next to him, tremblingly stretched out his hand, grabbed one and brought it to his mouth. With tears rolling down, I gulped down them.

"False thoughts become diseases, death is a death, Ye Luojun hears who complains. To be seen, the red paper is faded, the white wall is dyed green, and the success or failure is fake. But seeing that the distant mountains are long, the clouds and mountains are chaotic, and the mountains are green and ......" Listening to the chewing sound of the harbour, Wu Gan's face was gloomy, patted his legs, and sang a small song that he had heard from Yunyuntang.

Outside the cell, Chu Xi, who was hiding in the neighboring room, was gloomy, Hu Yanmo and Zhang Choke lowered their heads, only Ha Shan was already in tears.

The next day, in a barren ridge outside Lingyun City, many fearless soldiers who died due to the previous drastic change on Zuoheng Road were buried, and Zhong Lei and others were also buried here.

In front of the cemetery at this time, the dreadnought soldiers in the city, the new sailors, and more than 10,000 people surrounded this small mass grave tightly. There was no sound around, everyone pursed their lips tightly, only the mountain wind blew and wept.

In front of the graves of Zhong Lei and others, a large pit has been dug, and there are four knife and axe men standing in front of the pit. In the vicinity of the pit, four furnaces were erected, and smoke was rising, and a craftsman was throwing a dazzling ingot of gold into the furnace.

Suddenly, there was a slight commotion in the team, and Wu Gen came here with a group of generals, and walked step by step to the handsome chairs that had already been arranged.

Everyone's eyes moved with Wu Gan's figure, and today the army suddenly gave an order, and the whole army rushed here, and heard that a lieutenant colonel was going to be disposed of.

Except for those dreadnought veterans, these sharks are all a little curious, in the dreadnought army, the captain is already second only to Wu Gan, what kind of person is it, how much mistake he has made, and he has to be dealt with in public in front of so many people.

"Lord, let's get started." Chu Xi rushed

Wu Qian bowed.

"Let's get started." Wu Jian sat on the chair, his face tired, and closed his eyes slightly.

Chu Xi stood in front of the pit, clutching the iconic iron ring ruler tightly in his hand, "Everyone, the purpose of gathering everyone here today is to deal with a sinner in the army.

This person is a veteran of the army, and none of those present, including his own army, have such qualifications. This person has made great achievements, and when the Dreadnought Army was first established, he followed the owner of the village to fight in the east and west. This person is in a high position, and he is the captain of my fearless army.

But such a person, who admires flashiness and is more than Zhou, listens to slander and commits serious crimes repeatedly when the owner of the village goes to sea.

Among them, even though they were ordered by him, they did not think about defending the land, and they committed the crime of rebellion without permission. Kill robes, imprison colleagues, chase loyal soldiers, and commit the crime of madness. Acting extravagantly, a private villain, disregarding the life and death of officials, and committing the crime of the party and the army. complained, stubborn and difficult to treat, and committed the crime of tyrannical army. Acting flamboyantly, greedy for merit and despising righteousness, and committing the crime of underestimating the army.

These five sins are all crimes that deserve death in the discipline of the fearless army. Today, on the orders of the lord of the village, I will kill this thief in public, so as to comfort the death robe, and bring people up with the discipline of the army."

Soon, someone came to the crowd with a dead face of a harbour leopard. At this time, he was disheveled, and he had long lost his former majesty, and he almost dragged the executioner forward.

"But you have to announce it in public." Chu Xi stepped forward and asked. According to the original discussion, Wu Jian wanted to announce in public that Habao was sentenced to death to warn the whole army.

Wu Yan opened his eyes, and suddenly felt bored, "No need, let's take it directly to the pit." Don't behead him, leave him with a whole corpse. By the way, take Qi Yue's head and put it in the pit, so that he and his wife can reunite after death. In addition, since he admires glitz and luxury, he cannot do it in his lifetime, and after his death, he will give him a splash of wealth and build a golden tomb."

When the harbour leopard heard this, he struggled hard, and several executioners couldn't hold it down. Wu Yan waved his hand and said, "Let him go and see what else he has to say."

The executioner let go of the leopard, and the man walked a few steps to Wu Gan's approach, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed a few times. With such great force, it smashed the rocks on the ground.

After kowtowing, the harbour leopard did not open his mouth as Wu Yan expected, but got up and strode into the dirt pit. The executioner jumped into the pit and held the leopard to its knees. One of the men took out a spear and stabbed it through the back of the leopard, and the tip of the spear pierced the heart, pierced the body, and sank deep into the earth.

The leopard's body twitched, blood flowed down the shaft of the spear, but his eyes refused to close. Seeing this, Chu Xi hurriedly asked people to put Qi Yue's head beside him, and the leopard Fang let out a long sigh, tilted his head, and did not make any movement.

The executioner checked his breath and climbed out of the pit to report to Chu Xi. Chu Xi waved his hand, and the craftsman took out the melted gold from the furnace and poured it on the body of the harbour leopard one by one.

Smoke and a foul stench came from the pit, and the flesh of the harbour leopard was gradually melted by the golden juice, and only the bones remained on their knees.

After a long time, I don't know how many gold ingots were spent, and the whole pit was full of gold juice. The golden juice solidified again, imprisoning the leopard's body in it.

Next to the mass grave, everyone was watching this scene, watching so much gold for the burial of the harbaner, no one would be envious, and many people were already pale. The team of more than 10,000 people did not make a sound, and not even a cough came out.

Forty soldiers stepped forward and threw earth and stones into the pit, and a new grave appeared in the mass grave.

There is no monument to the grave, just like other people in mass graves.

Seeing that everything was over, Wu Gen stood up, and under the attention of everyone, his body was rickety, and he walked down the mountain without saying a word.
