Chapter 5 Autumn Rain

Pieces of cold rain went straight to Kong Ming's pale face, flowing down Kong Ming's hair to his neck, and penetrated Kong Ming's body through the gap in the armor. It had been more than twenty days since that battle, and a few of the escaped POWs had left in the pre-installed teleportation array, but at the critical moment, a traitor embedded among the POWs destroyed the teleportation array, leaving the rest of the survivors to die or surrender surrounded by the Harveys. As Kong Ming said, this is a conspiracy. Of course, the mastermind was executed in front of the prisoners of war, and those prisoners of war who were captured were also beaten, and Yang Li was lucky to survive this catastrophe, but now he is also injured, if it weren't for Kong Ming's care these days, it may have become a problem to even survive, after spending the first few days of the most difficult days, now he can barely walk some way with the support of Kong Ming, but even so, most of the time Kong Ming is still on his back.

"It's a fucking conspiracy!"

......

In the past few days, Yang Li has been saying this sentence to himself, even if Kong Ming didn't ask, he also said what happened at that time N many times in this kind of self-talk, and he would be tired of it tomorrow.

Betrayal is betrayal, Kong Ming knows that this war Chu State lost extremely unjustly, not so much to lose to Harvey, but to lose to himself, those who betrayed, constantly betrayed the people of Chu State, the land of Chu State, the city of Chu State, and themselves, and now even the prisoners of war are betrayed, in Kong Ming's opinion, among this group of prisoners of war, there will also be such people, just waiting to sell the same suffering prisoners of war to obtain some temporary privileges, reduce their own suffering, Kong Ming does not know who he should believe, who should be suspected, this is a continuous effect, this effect permeates the hearts of prisoners of war in the entire prisoner of war campAfter that, the people who came out of this prisoner of war camp would not trust anyone lightly, even now in this very difficult situation, even more so, because they were afraid, they were afraid of being betrayed again and again, during the battle, their comrades-in-arms betrayed them, during the war, the nobles of Chu betrayed them, and even if they fled, how many such people were there around them, who were their friends and who were their enemies? This question really bothered every prisoner of war. And among these prisoners of war, they also quietly began to judge and screen this kind of traitor, for everyone around them, this is the silent confrontation of prisoners of war, and this is also a shady confrontation for the survival of prisoners of war.

Kongming's eyes seemed to be looking ahead in confusion, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept observing the Harvey soldiers around him, as well as the prisoners of war who were walking together. In the past 20 days, Kong Ming has been constantly observing everyone around him, constantly analyzing those who are Chu people, but are working hard for Harvey, from these people's eyes, words, walking, communication, food, work and rest time, etc., I hope to find clues from them, and these can only be used with eyes. The ears still have that unreliable feeling, and then analyze it, of course, when doing this, Kong Ming didn't dare to show his mental power at all, because there are many magicians accompanying the Harvey people, and those swordsmen are also very sensitive to spiritual power, even those ordinary people have equipment that specializes in detecting spiritual power, so Kong Ming can only use his eyes, ears and feelings. Through more than 20 days of observation, Kong Ming also showed some signs, but in order not to wronged people, and in order not to let others find out, but also for the observation of these people, so that Kong Ming's understanding of human nature can be taken to a higher level, not like this war, where people are sold as ducks, and count money for others, so Kong Ming can only keep observing and observing, and the same mistake cannot be made again.

Through Guò's observation, Kong Ming found some spies among the open faces and some secret prisoners of war. These people all have a few things in common, one is that there is always a little connection with the Harvey, consciously or unconsciously, either they are close to the Harvey, or the Harveys call them, the second is that they always promote the positive aspects of the Harvey, and they always oppose the words against Harvey, or let the Harveys attack those who oppose them, the third is that their lives are always more or less better than other prisoners of war, and of course there are some other small details, but in any case, Kong Ming gradually discerns from some small details which are spies and which are just close to the Harvey, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, and some of the things that are hidden more deeply are another matter, and the bitter meat tricks in history have never stopped.

And what Kong Ming did was also done by some of the more shrewd people or people who reacted among the prisoners of war, one qiē is to survive, and the moral bottom line of survival is not to commit treason, from this point of view, those commoners do far better than those nobles, just as a historian said, "The righteousness is mostly for the slaughter of dogs, and the negative heart is mostly for the readers." ”。 The entire POW team has been shrouded in distrust, and this situation is exactly what the Harvey people need, only in this case will the POWs be suspicious, instead of uniting against the Harvey, you must know that they are just a second-rate team, once the Chu people rebel, they will not have a good result, only by splitting the Chu people can they smoothly return to the Harvey Empire with the Chu army's prisoners of war.

"When is this hellish weather going to fall?" said a prisoner of war wearing regimental armor next to him.

"Is it autumn! there is always more rain, how about you find it cold?" Kong Ming asked seemingly casually.

"My heart is cold!"

"It's time to be cold, it's long overdue!" Kong Ming said through gritted teeth.

"When the heart will not be cold, how good it will be. The man sighed.

"Wait for spring. How is it, what did you find?" Kong Ming asked, this is called Liu Mingxin, he is the commander of an infantry regiment, unlike Kong Ming, he is a person who rose from the bottom with his military merits, the strength of the great sword division, in the last battle, they were also arranged to be behind, but when they found out that they were abandoned, they had been overwhelmed by the tide of Harvey, and they could only reluctantly order to surrender, and there were not a few people like them on the battlefield. And he and Kong Ming had met in the last meeting before, and the two could be regarded as sympathetic, and the relationship between the two in these more than forty days also allowed the two to establish a relatively stable connection and alliance. What the two said before was ostensibly just some whining, but in fact it was a code word that only two people understood, and the two never called each other each other, for fear of leaving something to other interested people, which was also the method adopted by many prisoners of war, who only believed those they felt they should believe, and those who casually believed in people were either dead or disabled.

"Found a few Ask Xun Birds, how are they, what have you found?" Q Xun Birds are a kind of magical beast, they are always used by people to transmit messages, here Liu Mingxin is used as a metaphor for the spies who were planted by the Harvey people among the prisoners of war.

"Is it possible to let them deliver the message for us?" asked Ku Ming.

"It's said that they're all veterans, how about you?"

"I didn't notice anything, I just saw two window rats. Kong Ming replied. The Window Neighbor Rats are also a kind of Warcraft, but this is a kind of Warcraft that is more common in the Warcraft Forest, and it is also the lowest level of Warcraft, and it likes to steal food from various Warcraft. And here the two use this magical beast to allude to the different betrayers among the prisoners of war.

"Is there a way to turn them into two-faced fish?" Kong Ming said, "After all, there are some people here who are also forced, and even those who have rebelled more completely, if the conditions allow, I think even their father will betray them, not to mention those Harvey people who are not even birds, once they get to Harvey, they will also be a dead end, don't look at them now like humans." ”

"Well, it seems that we have to think of a way to convince them from this one, after all, most of the traitors who betrayed us were those traitorous nobles, unlike us people. ”

"Be careful, or it won't be cost-effective for us to get in together, and besides, we're going to have to add some trustworthy people now, and the two of us won't be able to do it." Kong Ming said.

"Be careful with both, after all, we only have one life. We're going to split things up and try to get things done when the opportunity you speak of comes, rather than failing. Liu Mingxin said.

Just as the two of them were discussing in a whisper, a song "Dear Lover" familiar to Chu people came from a distance.

I'm standing on a cliff,

Looking across the river,

Dear people,

My dear love,

You have always appeared in my dreams,

Can you show a little bit today,

Thy pure countenance,

Let go of your beautiful voice,

Sing a love song,

Dip into my heart.

I'm standing on a cliff,

Singing to the other side of the river,

Dear people,

My dear love,

The sword has been smashed, the horse has jumped,

Today I'm leaving the hometown where I grew up.

To the battlefield of ignorance of life and death,

Can you sing a song,

Touching songs,

Stay in my heart.

I'm standing on a cliff,

Looking across the river,

Dear people,

My dear love,

Three years of life and death to survive,

Dozens of blood-stained robes,

And now there are only scars left,

I can't pursue you anymore,

Dear people,

My dear love.

The song was accompanied by the sound of the rain, singing from the mouths of the Chu people, the confusion of the road ahead, the betrayal of their companions, so that these simple Chu people couldn't help but sing that sad love song, and only in this way will there be a little bit of sustenance in the heart, the song is sung from one person, and then slowly more people join the ranks, and slowly the sound penetrates the rain, penetrates the clouds, and ripples in the hearts of the entire prisoners of war.

"The human heart is available. Kong Ming said silently in his heart, and he slowly sang with those people, although it was the first time he sang, but he sang very seriously, very seriously!!
