Chapter 407: To Save, or Not to Save?
As soon as Xiao Jinyan and Jin Buchang left the county seat, they saw dust in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves approaching, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court crossed the Yellow River and came to Liangshan County.
The flag fluttered, with the words "Beidaying" and "Ordered to Suppress Bandits" written on it, and 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry surrounded Liangshan County.
When the rebels in the county saw the army, they hurriedly warned them, and the people in the city heard the alarm bell and fled in all directions.
The Yellow Lotus Sect Leader was like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, he went to find Commander Wan, but was told that Commander Wan had gone out of the city early this morning to handle the case, and none of the people he brought with him were left.
Thirty disciples and more than 500 believers in the sect all came to the county office.
"What shall we do?"
Sect Master Huang pretended to be calm and said, "The sect master's mana is boundless, and there are only a few thousand people, so he wants to attack Liangshan County, you go to raid the formation, wait for me to bathe and change clothes, go to the city to do the law, and teach them to come and go!"
"The Sect Master is wise!"
"The Sect Leader has great powers!"
Sycophants sounded.
They had all seen the miracle of the Yellow Sect Master scattering soybeans and thousands of soldiers and horses out of thin air, and they were full of confidence in him.
Sect Master Huang entered the room, wrapped the gold and silver finely, changed into a set of small clothes, and prepared to escape through the back door, but as soon as he opened the back door, he saw more than a dozen disciples waiting.
"How did you get here?"
"We are afraid that the sect leader will abandon us, so we dare not slack off. ”
Seeing that the plan to slip away failed, the Huang Sect Master immediately said, "Come on, prepare the horses!" and wait for me to go to the front of the battle, and take a few heads to sacrifice wine!"
The confidence of the disciples increased sharply, and someone came to warhorse, and the Huang Sect Master turned over, almost twisting his psoas muscles, and after sitting firmly, he walked towards the city gate.
Along the way, the Huang Sect Leader wanted to get out, but everyone had already taken precautions and surrounded him tightly in the middle, in the name of protecting the Sect Master, so that he had nothing to do.
Come to the front of the two armies.
In front of the county seat, there were nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses, 500 cavalry on the left and right, and 1,000 archers and 2,000 infantry on the opposite side.
Sect Leader Huang beat his spirit and shouted, "Who is coming, report your name!"
The person at the head is Wang Tianzuo, the commander of the Beida Battalion, and he naturally knows about the matter of Liangshan County, and he didn't look at the Huang Sect Leader, clasped his fists with both hands, and said, "You are not worthy!"
An adjutant general said, "The Liangshan thief Kou Huanglian Sect is in turmoil, Your Majesty is deeply shocked when you hear it, Ruoer and others kneel down and surrender, Your Majesty may open the net." ”
The disciples of the Yellow Lotus Sect Leader may not be able to fight, but they are not afraid of scolding people at all, and a disciple came out and scolded, "Just with your thousands of people, it is not enough for our Sect Master to fight alone, as long as our Sect Leader does something, scatters beans into soldiers, and summons 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, you just have to lead your neck and wait to be killed!"
Wang Tianzuo couldn't help but sneer and shouted, "Array!"
Hula!
Two thousand soldiers and horses began to form a formation, and the city stood in a conical position, ready to attack the city.
At this time, more than a dozen disciples came to the city gate carrying a lotus Dharma platform, "Please teach the master to do the law!"
Sect Leader Huang didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he came to the Dharma platform, wearing a Taiji robe, a yellow silk silk hanging from his waist, a five-beam crown on his head, a peach wood sword in his hand, and a word.
Although the soldiers and horses of the Beida Battalion have experienced a lot of vicious battles, it is the first time they have seen this situation today, Wang Tianzuo waved his hand and stopped the attack.
The voice of the Yellow Sect Leader, which was strange, looming, sometimes high and sometimes low, floated outside the city.
"Hurry like a law, Taishang Laojun shows his gods, borrows me 100,000 heavenly soldiers, to level the enemy, he will be the emperor one day, and the whole country will respect your gods, even if you can't show your spirit, let me run first." ”
The disciples and their entourage were full of excitement
。
A few days ago, they saw with their own eyes that Sect Master Huang had come down with a set of spells, and countless heavenly soldiers had entered Liangshan County, so those who had been discouraged before were all high-spirited.
The Yellow Lotus Sect Leader grabbed a handful of beans from the incense case, threw them into the sky, and said loudly, "Scatter beans into soldiers!"
Soybeans are sprinkled all over the ground.
The scene was silent when the needle fell and was heard.
It seemed that monsters were emerging from the ground at any time, and even some of the soldiers and horses in the Beida Battalion became a little nervous.
The heavenly soldiers and generals did not come.
Cuckoo!
An old hen with more than a dozen chicks, passing by from nowhere, came to the center of the two armies, and did not shy away from someone, and in a moment, ate the soybeans on the ground.
The subordinate asked in a low voice, "Sect Master, why is it not working today?"
Sect Master Huang said, "I estimate that the immortals are off duty today. I'll change my spells. ”
Sect Master Huang took a piece of yellow paper, spent a Dan rune, came to the ten soldiers, lit the rune, then took a sip of wine, and squirted at everyone.
"Invulnerable!"
When the more than ten people heard this, they seemed to be stimulated, brandished their blades, and rushed towards the army of the northern camp.
Puff puff!
Before he could get closer, he was shot like a hedgehog.
There was laughter from the North Daying camp.
Sect Leader Huang said in a deep voice, "It seems that you are going to force me to use a special move." He said in a loud voice to the crowd, "Stand back for me." ”
Everyone was puzzled and retreated three or four feet back.
"Go on. ”
Everyone retreated to twenty zhang away, suspicious in their hearts, the sect leader is going to use a big killing weapon, let us stay away, obviously because they don't want to affect us.
The Yellow Lotus Sect Leader turned over and got on his horse, walked forward for more than ten zhang, came to the center of the two armies, and slowly unbuttoned it.
The disciples were puzzled and muttered in a low voice.
"What does the Church Master do?"
"It's not going to be transformed, I'm afraid I'll break my clothes, right?"
"It's possible, I've seen a person who gets bigger and greener when he's angry, and although he has a lot of strength, it's just a lot of clothes. ”
Sect Leader Huang unfastened his belt again.
The whole person was wearing only a pair of underwear, and in the autumn wind, shivering, he used all his strength and shouted loudly: "I am guilty, I surrender, please spare my life!"
Wang Tianzuo smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a rain of arrows covered the sky, and the place where the Yellow Sect Master stood turned into a pool of blood and mud.
As soon as the disciples saw that the sect leader was like this, they were not stupid, and they abandoned their weapons and fled.
Looking at these vulnerable rabble, the commander of the Northern Battalion gave the last order, "Slaughter the city!"
......
Xiao Jinyan and Jin Buchang had walked a few miles, and when they looked back, Liangshan County was full of smoke, and more than half of the buildings in the entire city were burning.
It's just a rebellion of a few hundred people, and the three or four thousand well-trained troops of the Beida Battalion will encounter any resistance?
He realized the problem.
This is Zhu Liye killing people.
Jin Bu's face was also very dignified, he took a deep breath, and said, "This emperor is too ruthless." ”
Save?
Or not save?
Xiao Jinyan fell into contradictions.
With his current cultivation, it is impossible to say that he wants to stop it completely, but if he rescues a few people, it is not difficult, but a killing is inevitable.
In the battle of Yinyang, he has offended the entire Jianghu colleagues.
If he makes a move this time, he will be openly hostile to the imperial court, which will affect his plan to rescue Li Chuntie.
he
Caught in a contradiction.
Xiao Jinyan remembered that at the head of Yinyang City, Yuwen Tianlu once asked three people, "Kill one, save a hundred, kill or not?"
Li Chengcheng's answer was not to kill.
Xiao Jinyan's answer at that time was, "One can be saved, and a hundred will be saved." ”
It seems like a clever answer, but now it seems that things in the world are so simple?
Thousands of people in Liangshan are suffering. The same question was in front of him.
Save 100 people and give up Li Chuntie?
He couldn't.
But left unchecked, he had a troubled conscience.
Xiao Jinyan is not a hero, he is a human.
Seeing that he was silent, Jin Buchang asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "If it were you, give up your closest people to save hundreds of irrelevant people, what would you choose?"
Jin Buchang said dissatisfied, "Why do you ask such a question?"
"I just want to know what you think. ”
Jin Bu spread his hands, "As long as I am happy, what does their life and death have to do with me? I am not a saint, nor an emperor, and I can't control so many things." Instead of you dwelling on this, why don't you go to the capital, put a knife on the emperor's neck, and ask him this question?"
Yuwen Tianlu's question, Zhao Lanjiang chose not to answer.
Not answering does not mean that there is no choice, between Xiao Jinyan and the people of Yinyang, he made a choice.
Xiao Jinyan understood Zhao Lanjiang's original choice. At that time, Zhao Lanjiang's choice made him very unhappy, but life is like this, and when you make a choice, you have to bear the corresponding consequences.
The world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to its promise.
At this point, Jin does not change his life and lives freely.
After I die, who will care about the flood?
At this moment, Xiao Jinyan seemed to have figured it out. When the Supreme Heavenly Dao comes, everyone in the world has to die, what is the difference between early death and late death?
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinyan bowed deeply to Liangshan County and said, "I will ask the emperor for an explanation." ”
He patted Lu Gongzi and said to Jin Bu, "Let's go." ”
Behind him, Liangshan County is like a hell on earth.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the corpses were all over the field, and it is said that dozens of days later, someone passed by there, and there was still the sound of ghosts crying during the day.
Soon, the imperial court announced to the world.
In September, the Yellow Lotus Sect rebelled, attacked the county seat of Liangshan, killed the county commander, looted it, and set fire to the city, and the three thousand people in the city did not survive. The Beida Battalion sent troops to suppress the bandits, cleared more than 1,000 bandits, and successfully quelled the rebellion.
Some people rejoice, others worry. The prefect of Jinan was ineffective in preventing bandits, and he was dismissed from his official position, and Wang Tianzuo, the commander of the Beida Battalion, made meritorious contributions to suppressing bandits and was promoted to commander of the three major battalions.
When Xiao Jinyan heard the news in the restaurant, he was so angry that he crumpled the wine glass in his hand into pieces.
......
A black carriage slowly drove into the foot of Song Mountain.
The person who drove the car was a handsome young man, gorgeously dressed, walking on the long street, attracting the attention of countless passers-by.
There is such a handsome man in the world!
The bold woman couldn't help but point, and the shy woman, when she looked at him, covered her face with a handkerchief and secretly glanced at him.
The young man had a sad face, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he seemed to have endless things on his mind, but the more so, the more charming he became in the eyes of those roadside girls, and he couldn't wait to step forward immediately and help him solve his problems.
But this young man did not cast even a trace of gaze at them.
Li Jinhua's illness is getting worse and worse.
