08 Repentance

Qi Xue was speechless when asked, and didn't know what to say, but just looked at him in a daze, and muttered after a long time: "Even so, you shouldn't harm us, who would know that you are still alive?" Everyone is sad because of you. ā€

Jielan knew that she was not qualified to intercede for Wuluan now, but more or less these things were also caused by herself, and she didn't want to see Wuluan fall like this, she walked over, gently pressed his shoulder, and said: "If you really want to blame me, it's fine, because I gave up saving you at that time, but even if you blame me, you shouldn't let yourself become like this, how can you do this to your parents who gave birth to you and raised you, and trampling on your own body and soul is not trampling on the life they gave you?" ā€

As if someone had grabbed his heart, and without the indescribable pain in his heart, he raised his hazy eyes and whispered: "They have long since died, and they have been executed by the hateful city lord." ā€

Jielan was stunned for a while, she didn't want to say anything sad about Wuluan, she looked at this person who was supposed to be simple and kind, and felt a trace of pity in her heart, Jielan looked back at the criminal, because the city lord was his father, and suddenly heard the scolding about his father, presumably he would be very sad in his heart.

The thug came up and said, "Executed?" Why was he ordered to be executed by the city lord? ā€

"Do you still need to ask? But I just couldn't pay the taxes, so I arrested my father and my mother in prison and starved to death, and I was sold to Yongji Pharmacy as a partner and charged taxes, hehe, what city lord, what decree, more hateful than the so-called demons. ā€

"Is it because of taxes?" The young master frowned slightly, thinking of his father, he wanted to distinguish a few words for him, but he had nothing to say, because even he himself knew his father's crime, so Wuluan's bitter complaint was not malicious slander.

"You are just a small people, how do you understand the affairs of the court, although the city lord has issued this order, but these tax revenues are actually taken away by Kongjing, the city lord only knows that the people are rich, food and money are abundant, so there is this order, but all this is caused by Kongjing's lies." Corporal Qiu Ze said calmly, his words calm and peaceful.

"No, it's impossible, General Kongjing asks for the people's life, he is the god we revere, you actually slander him like this, aren't you afraid of going to hell?" Wuluan, who had always revered Kongjing, lost his mind a little when he heard these words.

"God? If he were a god, he wouldn't let demons possess you and make you human. "There is a light of hatred in the eyes of the criminals.

"He wants to give me strength, make me strong, and only he knows my heart's desire." Even his eyes were full of worship for Kongjing.

"You finally admit that all this was ordered by Kongjing." Qing Zhan said coldly, "It's a pity that you are too stupid to pay for such a person, to help a person who once killed your parents, I think if your parents knew in the sky, I am afraid that they will not be able to turn a blind eye." ā€

"You, you are talking nonsense, you are not allowed to slander General Kong Jing, how could General Kong Jing kill my parents, don't think that you can slander him in this way, I absolutely do not believe it."

Qing Zhan smiled contemptuously, feeling very sorry for this ignorant man, he walked over, raised his chin, and said, "Slander? Who will slander him, look at the hundreds of soldiers outside this tent, they were all sent to the Northern Flame Land to serve as servants by the empty Jing you worshipped on trumped-up charges, if they weren't capable enough, they would have died by now. ā€

"Nonsense, I... I absolutely don't believe it! "Wuluan really can't believe that the Kongjing he worships is such a person.

"If you don't believe it, listen to them!" Qing Zhan asked Qiu Ze to call in a few soldiers.

As soon as the soldiers heard Kongjing, they gritted their teeth, and even their eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and one of the soldiers in his thirties said: "You ignorant person, and only you people will treat him as your savior, in our eyes, he is a demon without humanity, we really want to kill him immediately, to avenge those of our companions, do you know how many people have been killed by him in the past ten years?" There are no people in Chiyan City who have not been killed by him, and what qualifications do we have to confess and worship such a bloody and cruel person. ā€

"I... I—" Wu Luan didn't know what to say in the face of these angry soldiers, as if he had heard something so painful that he couldn't speak properly.

"All the people in the city who can't pay their taxes, Kong Jing will order his subordinates to put these people in prison, send them to Beiyan if they are useful, and kill or abandon them directly if they are useless, your father and mother should have died because of this, but in order to buy the hearts of the people, Kong Jing claimed that it was an order from the city lord, but he pretended to be a good minister who loved the people, so that everyone mistakenly thought that he was a good general, but in fact he was just using you." Corporal Qiu Ze thought that Chiyan City had been made like this by Kong Jing in the past ten years, and he felt angry and couldn't help himself.

"My father... He killed him? How so? I... I..."Wuluan's whole body trembled, tears poured down his face, he collapsed to the ground, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and he seemed so weak.

Jielan squatted beside him and said: "It's not too late for you to know the true face of Kong Jing now, but if you keep being wrong, how can you be worthy of your parents and those dead people, Wuluan, listen to me, don't ask for any more power, you were the best in the past, now you just need to make everyone look down on you even more, give up the power of demons!" ā€

Wuluan raised his head and said, "I, I don't know how to do it?" Are you going to kill me? ā€

Unable to assure her, she looked up at Qing Zhan, and although she didn't say anything, her pleading gaze completely conveyed her meaning to Qing Zhan.

Qing Zhan held his chin with one hand and said coldly: "If I forgive you like this, how can I explain to these soldiers who have died of death." ā€

Wuluan knew that there was no hope of survival, and lowered his head gloomily, his face was as pale as earth, despair and pain occupied his entire heart, but a voice that brought hope sounded in his ears, he raised his head and looked at Qing Zhan, his red pupils were full of expectation.

"If you do something, as long as you succeed, even if you have merit in place, you don't have to be subject to criminal law." Qing Zhan's expression was solemn, and it seemed that he had already thought deeply.

"What do you want me to do?" Wuluan asked in surprise.

"You go back to Kong Jing's side and tell him that our army has suffered a crushing defeat and almost all of them have been wiped out, so that he can rest easy." Qing Zhan said it word by word, which surprised everyone present.

Tan Qi took the lead in objecting, "Shaojun can't do this, if he takes advantage of this to escape and tell Kong Jing some military information that is not good for us, wouldn't it make us more dangerous." Tan Qi looked at Jielan and his expression sank, "Shaojun don't make some irrational decisions this time in order to cater to someone's request. ā€

Qing Zhan frowned, he knew that what Tan Qi said was Jielan, but how could he be the kind of person who didn't think about the overall situation, he looked angry and said, "You have been by my side for so many years, don't you know me?" Don't say that again. He looked at Wuluan and said, "Let you go, you are indeed very likely to escape, or even betray us instead, but I also have a way to restrain you." ā€

He shook his head, and said, "You can indeed escape, but if you do, I can only visit the graves of your parents and tell them that they have raised a good son to help the murderers of his parents, and I am sure that their souls will be difficult to see and become evil spirits who will drag him to hell." ā€

Wuluan was shocked, and he stayed a little until he said from his throat for a long time: "I... I will not run away, since he killed my parents, how can I help him again, I will bring these words to him. ā€

"Ben Jun also believes that you are an extremely smart person, how you act in front of him is up to you, if you expose Kong Jing, you may kill you mercilessly, aren't you afraid?" Qing Zhan asked tentatively.

Wuluan shook his head, "Anyway, whether I die or live, no one in this world will care about me, but if I can avenge my parents, even if I die, what is it." "Thinking that I am lonely, thinking that no one has ever cared about me in the past few decades, and that some of them are just scolded and beaten by my boss.

Jielan looked at this sad soul, as if thinking of herself, she could understand this pain, but she was still able to rely on the power she had to change her fate, but he could only obey the arrangement of fate, unable to resist, and unable to resist, Jielan now understood his willingness to sell his body to the demon invasion, because he was too eager for power, too much to change his fate, but unfortunately this practice is so disdainful.

She gently pressed Wuluan's shoulder and said, "No, there will always be people in this world who care about you and love you, but you don't want to find out, as long as you live well, you will definitely meet a lot of people who care about you." Jielan didn't know why she said this to comfort him, maybe she didn't want him to fall into it, after all, she owed a lot to this person.

Wuluan raised her eyes to look at the beautiful woman in front of her, her burning gaze seemed to melt herself, and her resentful heart began to calm down. He lowered his head and whispered, "I've always treated you like this, don't you hate me?" I was going to kill you next. ā€

Although he said it quietly, the black pig and Qi Xue who were standing close still listened, and when the black pig heard it, his eyes widened, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and said, "You... You actually want to be on the blue..."

Jielan hurriedly covered the black pig's mouth, blinked her eyes and signaled it not to shout, so that the criminals could hear it, if it was heard, maybe she would add one more culpa to Wuluan, she exhaled a long breath and said to Wuluan: "Those are all your previous thoughts, as long as it's not now, after all, you still haven't done anything to me, haven't you?" She looked at Qing Zhan with a little shyness and gratitude in her eyes, "If you really complete the task as Shaojun said, he will also keep his promise and will not hold you accountable." ā€

Jielan repeated what Qing Zhan had said, as if to remind him not to be trusted.
