Torrent Volume Chapter 29 Surrender
Xu Sheng opened his eyes, his head dazed.
"Immortal Chief!"
The voice of urgency came to his ears; He shook his head, regained some of his senses a little, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the familiar face of Captain Li.
"Me, how long have I slept?"
Before Xu Sheng could see his surroundings clearly, he lowered his head due to the severe pain and rubbed his forehead with his hands.
"Two days and one night."
Captain Li replied softly, his voice uncontrollably revealing anxiety.
He can't help but be in a hurry! Seeing that the surplus food was about to run out, Zhiyang City was at the juncture of life and death, but Xu Sheng, as the "backbone", fell into a coma. The heavy burden suddenly weighed on him, and he couldn't bear it!
Fortunately, Xu Sheng woke up.
"Two days and one night."
Xu Sheng muttered, and then suddenly woke up, his eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "Is there no food in the city?" ”
"No," Captain Li stepped forward and said, "There are still some, and there are still two meals."
"Two meals." Xu Sheng muttered, his brows furrowed.
How much difference is there between two meals and no food?
"Ahh
He sighed, struggling to support his body, and staggered to his feet from the coffin, looking out around.
Now, he finally saw it. In the narrow courtyard of the old man who baked cakes, there were far more than 30 people standing densely.
Of these more than 30 people, Xu Sheng recognized most of them.
They are the big and small officers in Zhiyang City.
These men who are crawling and fighting in the war, these men who dare to lick blood at the knife edge, are now, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, tired looks, and malaise.
They are like this, not only because they are hungry, but also because of the despair in their hearts.
They have long regarded themselves as dead!
Looking at them for a long time, Xu Sheng's expression was solemn. Holding on to the edge, he slowly walked out of the coffin and looked straight at Captain Li.
Xu Sheng can not care about these big and small officers, but there is one person he must not ignore. That's Captain Li!
Xu Sheng understood that although Captain Li had always behaved mediocre, even a little cowardly; However, the seven thousand armor in the city were recognized and convinced, and there was always only Captain Li.
His authority depended to a large extent on Captain Li's respect for him.
He looked at Captain Li, and Captain Li also looked at him. Although both of them had unnatural dodging in their gazes, Xu Sheng still saw what he wanted to see.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally made a decision - a decision that he had to make.
"Make a fire, make food, use all the food, and when we have eaten and drunk enough, we surrender."
Xu Sheng's voice was not loud, and his tone was also very flat, but when it fell on the ears of Captain Li and others, it was like thunder.
In addition to their shock, they also have an unconcealable "joy", a joy for the rest of their lives! Those officers, those men, their bent bodies involuntarily straightened up, and their lifeless eyes also glowed.
Obviously, they have wanted to descend for a long time.
As for Captain Li, he didn't have much mood swings, and in getting along with Xu Sheng, he had expected him to surrender; It's just that I didn't expect it to come down so early and so simply.
"Subordinate, obey!"
Captain Li lowered his head and clenched his fists and bowed to Xu Shengshen; He disguised it well, but the moment he lowered his head, Xu Sheng still caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xu Sheng saw it and couldn't help laughing; Finally, he was able to take off his burden, and finally, he was able to take off his guard.
"Go ahead, do it as soon as possible, and prepare more white flags." Xu Sheng waved his hand, Captain Li beckoned, and everyone retreated.
Xu Sheng watched them leave, still with a smile on his face; But smiling and laughing, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and down his cheeks.
He cried.
Finally, he gave up.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I can't gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of people." Xu Sheng said, his voice scattered in the wind......
Xu Ryan stood in the wind, constantly worried.
Now, he stopped on the edge of the cliff and looked down indifferently.
Large and small stones filled the ravine, blocking the narrow path. On closer inspection, there are many stumps and broken arms in the stone cracks, and there are no blood red marks on the stone surface.
Under the stones, there are lives and wisps of ghosts!
"Whew-whew-whew-"
It is the sound of the wind, but it is not just the sound of the wind; Even if he couldn't see it, Xu Yan knew that at the end of the broken road, the Jokhang soldiers were chiseling stones to open the way for a while.
Although they can definitely chisel it, Xu Yan is not worried at all, isn't it easier to throw stones from the mountain than difficult excavation?
He was worried about something else.
This war, on a scale of this magnitude, must not be confined to mortals; Some incredible existences in the eyes of ordinary people will also... Enter this mess.
Those people, such beings, have long been unable to be speculated by common sense; Deal with them at a terrible price!
"Hold on no matter what." Xu Rampant's voice was not small, but it became a strange sound mixed in the wind. His words are not only an expectation for the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him, but also a requirement for himself.
Originally, he didn't have to worry so much, he had his own dependence. However, since he sent the "Nirvana Dan" to Xu Sheng, most of the reliance has been reduced.
Of course, even in the face of those who are beyond ordinary people, Xu Yan is not afraid, but there are some things that he is unwilling to do......
Smoke curls up.
In the cold and gloomy city of Zhiyang, there are few more fireworks.
The "fat cook", who had been hungry and thin, didn't care about the sweat droplets on his forehead, and held a big shovel-like spoon in his hand, rolling back and forth in the pot. Behind him, the recruits who helped stretched out their heads one by one, staring and swallowing their saliva.
In this pot, it's not ordinary things, but meat!
There was a famine in the city, and people were sinned, but the worst of them were the livestock, which had nothing to eat, and almost all of them starved to death.
The fat cook knew the value of meat, so he gathered all the dead animals and made them into dried lab. On weekdays, even if someone starved to death in front of him, he never showed a little; Now, at the juncture of surrender, Xu Sheng gave another order, and he no longer hid it, and took out all the "treasures" in one go and threw them into the cauldron.
"Gollum, Gollum"
The hot soup is tumbling and the meat is fragrant. The soldiers and babies looked at the ground even more forgetful, and their mouths were full of relish, and they couldn't help themselves.
"His grandmother's, are you here to help, or to watch the play, and if you watch it again, I won't even give you soup for a while." "Fat cook" said with a big spoon and scolding.
This fright, indeed, the soldiers looked at each other, and the last one left dejectedly; Although they left, their hearts, souls, and eyes remained beside the cauldron.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. Today, everyone can receive two bowls of porridge, four steamed buns, and... Meat. ”
The street patrol soldiers beat the gong, walked through the alleys, and shouted weakly. It can be seen with the naked eye that when he pronounced the word "meat", he was obviously stunned and swallowed his saliva without arguing.
"Squeak-"
Deep in the alleyway, a family opened the door, and a skinny man poked his head out of the crack in the door; In a moment, the man's wife also stuck out her head.
"Boss, did I hear it wrong, the soldier said that there was meat today!"
"Daughter-in-law, did you hear that too? I'm good, I really have meat! ”
"Meat to eat today!?"
"Two bowls of porridge!?"
"Four steamed buns!?"
......
It's not just who started the head, the streets and alleys are full of people. It's hard to imagine that Zhiyang, which was lifeless and like an empty city just now, is now full of vitality.
Whether it is two bowls of porridge, four steamed buns, or a big meat that makes people feel excited when they think about it, it is a temptation that these people can't refuse, and it frantically stirs everyone's nerves!
Through this reason, people were able to release their long-suppressed enthusiasm and relieve their already unbearable fears.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. Today, everyone can receive two bowls of porridge, four steamed buns, and meat! ”
The voice of the little soldier grew louder and louder, and the people who walked into the street from all directions... And more and more...
Xu Sheng didn't join in the fun, and he didn't want to participate in the last meal.
He chose to stand on the city wall and look into the distance. Look at the rolling hills, see the endless greenery, and... Countless black spots in the greenery.
Those black spots are soldiers with knives and armor, fresh lives, the makers of the Zhiyang crisis, and the enemies he has to face... With the fate of having to surrender!
Fate, fate!
Xu Sheng smiled bitterly, helpless, only a bitter smile.
The wind gradually became smaller. In Zhiyang City, it gradually became quiet.
The small amount of food was quickly distributed, and everyone was still just appetizing; As for the meat, only one in ten lucky people were able to moisten their lips, and the vast majority did not even smell it.
"Immortal Chief, this is the white flag you want." Behind Xu Sheng, Captain Li didn't know when to arrive. He, like Xu Sheng, didn't enjoy the last meal, and it wasn't a taste in his heart.
"Okay, distribute it, hang it up." Xu Sheng said weakly, unable to lift his spirit.
What he didn't see was that the so-called white flags were nothing more than white sheets.
But it doesn't matter, since it is a surrender, how much stronger is it to hang a real flag than to hang a white sheet?
In a short time, the white flags were already spread out on the city wall, dancing in the wind. Xu Sheng looked sad and felt tired, but he still took a breath, mobilized the "invisible secret power", and shouted fiercely with all his energy: "We surrender!" ”
We surrendered!
This voice is very loud, and with the blessing of the "invisible secret power", it has unimaginable penetrating power. But in a few breaths, the "grand" voice echoed in the mountains and forests, resounding in everyone's heart.
At the same time, it also shook the hearts of many people!
