When he heard the Minotaur order the execution, Zhaoming finally made a decision.

"Slow!"

Shaking off the black skin's hand, Zhaoming took a few steps forward and walked in front of the minotaur, bowed and saluted: "The king, this matter is what I should do, and I hope that the king can let them go and give them freedom." ”

The minotaur looked at Zhaoming without anger or displeasure, and said slowly: "They used to be all from Malinpo, and I don't know how much to kill my Chigang brothers, how can you promise lightly in private." ”

Zhaoming bowed down again, and then spoke: "It's impossible not to kill people in war, on the battlefield in the past, either you killed me or I killed you, this is too normal." Not to mention a few of them, it is the Malinpo Demon Clan of Chigang who joined later, and there are a few who do not have the blood of my Chigang brothers on their hands. ”

"If that's the case, should we kill them all, or should we kill them all in batches without hurry?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of a large number of Malinpo demon clans who had just joined Chigang changed. Although it is not a nice thing to listen to, it has to be like this in order to survive. But if it is as Zhao Ming said, then what is the point of surrendering?

The minotaur raised his eyebrows: "The brothers who choose to join my Chigang are naturally my Chigang people, and I will naturally treat them like brothers in Chigang." But these are different, this is once a captive. ”

Zhaoming shook his head: "What about the former captives, guarding Chigang Mountain for the king, going south with the king, and fighting with the king, there are not many people in more than thirty, but now more than half of them are dead." Not to mention showing their loyalty, but it is enough to show their sincerity in joining Chigang. If the king wants to kill them now, won't it make the brothers who came to join the king feel cold, who knows if he will be the next him?"

He bowed deeply again, stood up straight and said, "Although this battle is a victory in Chigang, there is still a long way to go in the future. It is imperative to gather energy and recruit talents, but the king acts like this. Isn't it the other way around?"

The minotaur shook his head: "It's good to gather energy and recruit talents, but what you want is ability, what you want is talent, not them." He was originally a man of Malimpo, but he was succumbed by force and fought against Malinpo. One day, you can also turn against me and attack Chigang. How can such a greedy person who is afraid of death stay in my Chigang? ”

"Although I Chigang is small, I want people who are loyal and brave, not these wall grasses who can turn against me at any time. ”

What about loyalty and courage, Zhaoming sighed, but it was difficult to say. I never had any idea of overstepping the rules, but I was forced to be like this just because of various reasons that I couldn't say strict.

At this time, the minotaur stared at Zhaoming again and said word by word: "These are useless people, if they become a part of my Chigang, wouldn't they be insulting other brothers." if there is no flesh for sacrifice. How can my fourth brother's spirit rest in heaven?"

Zhaoming shook his head, bowed again, and then spoke: "The dead have passed away, and the living are the most important. When I let these people out, I personally promised that if I did this to them at this moment, it would be a rebellion, and it was definitely not the husband's doing. The king's handling like this is also ruining my reputation in Chigang!"

"Haha!" laughed the minotaur, "I didn't promise them anything. That's what you do. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if you had to take on everything you promised? ”

Zhaoming bowed and shook his head: "In the past, the king said it when I asked me to stay in Chigang Mountain. Chigang Mountain is in charge of me, so these captives are naturally under my control. I didn't let them go out of selfishness, what was left in Chigang in the past was only a weak brigade, how could I stop the elite soldiers of Malinpo. It is not an exaggeration to do so. ”

"Since the king said that day that I will be the master, then the promise I made is just like the promise made by the king. How can you break your promise?"

"Haha! Interesting!" The son of the Silver Snake King on the side laughed loudly: "People say that Chigang united as one to defeat Malinpo, but now it seems that this rumor seems to be a little distorted!

Not only him, but the other messengers who came to the funeral were also a little puzzled, but there was nothing unusual. It's all like watching a good show.

"King Niu'er, Zhaoming can be said to have made great contributions to your Chigang, if there is no him, you Chigang is afraid that it has been destroyed by General Bai Yuxi, how to talk about today. ”

"Yes, I'm going to be fair, but it's just a few captives, since Zhaoming wants to protect him, why force it?"

Several people even spoke out to persuade them, but everyone knows that this is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Zhaoming also sighed, he might have been able to turn around, but at this moment, as soon as these people spoke, I am afraid that there is no hope. Especially the sentence "If there is no him, you Chigang is afraid that you have been destroyed by General Bai Yuxi, how can you talk about today", which is in the heart of the minotaur, and it is difficult to end.

But no matter what things turn out, you can't back down, and no matter how much forbearance you have, there is a limit.

These captives came out to help defend Chigang, and even later fought with the army because of their own promises. Since it is a promise made by yourself, you must do your best to do it, just like the promise of Lushan to never kneel, without compromise.

Promises are big or small, and if small promises are not taken seriously, big promises will become jokes sooner or later.

This is no longer just a matter of standing up, but also may affect one's own state of mind. If he gives in at this moment, Zhaoming really doesn't know how he will face others in the future.

At this time, the minotaur's face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you made up your mind to protect them?"

Zhao Ming bowed, shook his head and said, "If you want to protect them, they shouldn't have died." It's not that my subordinates want to go against the king, it's just that this matter is my subordinate, and I can't help but stand up. ”

"Do you think it's useful for you to stand up?" The minotaur snorted coldly, and immediately waved his hand and said loudly: "Slash!"

As soon as the guards raised their weapons, they were about to cut them down.

"Stop!" exclaimed.

Forced by Zhaoming's current prestige in Chigang, these guards really stopped immediately.

But this action was not only useless, but made the minotaur's face even more ugly, and he shouted and scolded: "Didn't you hear my order?"

"The King's ......"

Zhaoming hurriedly shouted, but was interrupted by the minotaur as soon as he spoke: "Shut up, I am the king of Chigang, do you want to do it?"

At this time, after the guards were scolded, they did not dare to hesitate any longer, and slashed their weapons at the kneeling captives one by one.

"Stop!"

Zhaoming shouted, and as soon as his voice fell, dozens of ground flames drilled out of the ground, like ropes that tied up the dozen or so guards who were executed, and dragged them aside.

"Zhaoming, do you want to do the opposite?" the minotaur shouted.

"Zhaoming has no ill intentions, this heart can show the sun and the moon. Zhaoming said loudly: "The king asked me to do anything, but I can't do anything, but Zhaoming can't help but take action in this matter, otherwise how will he face the same clan in the world in the future?"

"Do you think you're going to be useful?

The minotaur was furious, looked at Zhaoming again and said: "Zhaoming, I don't blame all the things in the past, but if you make another move today, don't blame me for ignoring the friendship of the past!"

Zhaoming's heart trembled, his fists clenched, he closed his eyes, two lines of fire tears slowly flowed, and finally shook his head, unable to say anything.

At this time, another guard struck with a knife and rushed towards the kneeling captive.

Zhaoming's heart moved, and the earth was in flames, turning into a wall of fire to surround more than a dozen captives, making it difficult for people to break through.

"Zhaoming!" the minotaur was furious, and the big knife shot out, turning into a white light, as if a white horse had slashed at Zhaoming through the gap.

The surrounding demon clans were shocked and dodged away, and in an instant, only Zhaoming was left within a radius of 100 meters.

Standing still, looking at the white marks that were cut, Zhaoming suddenly became like water, and the whole world seemed to slow down.

He can dodge, and he can definitely dodge easily with the pear fairy step. But he didn't want to flash, even at this moment, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the minotaur would not be so decisive.

"Bang!" There was a roar of gold and stone, and the white light exploded, confusing people's ears and eyes. The erupting qi waves surged in all directions like a tidal wave, sweeping the surrounding demon clans into the distance. Seeing the opportunity, the green wolf demon hurriedly retreated with the spirit position of the jackal demon and the black roe deer demon.

In the frenzy, there was a sound of flesh tearing, and when they saw the situation clearly, everyone was shocked, but Zhaoming was cold.

He lost, lost the bet, the minotaur didn't keep his hand, and slashed directly at his body with a strong knife, even if he had the body of a fairy weapon, he was also cut off from his shoulder bone, about three inches deep into his body, and the blood burst out, dyeing most of his body red.

Flesh and bones are naturally very painful, but for Zhaoming, it is not enough to worry about it, what hurts him is his heart, as if someone used a knife to cut his heart piece by piece and chop it into flesh.

Many envoys frowned slightly, the power of that knife was absolutely terrifying, and Zhaoming, who had lowered the Minotaur by a realm, actually carried it down with his body, which was surprising.

At this time, the minotaur was also stunned, he didn't expect Zhaoming to not hide, but he was the king of Chigang, and he couldn't be convinced, so he immediately regained his cold appearance, and said in a deep voice: "Zhaoming, you forced me." ”

Zhao Ming shook his head and sighed lightly, did not speak, pressed his right hand on the back of the big knife on his shoulder, and grabbed it hard, and the immortal-level weapon was pinched out by him with several deep finger prints on it.

Pinch the back of the broadsword, slowly lift it, and pull it out of the blood and bones.

The sound of cracking bones and the splattering of blood made many people frown secretly, and even they felt pain.

But Zhaoming didn't have any pain, his face was expressionless, and his right hand that was slowly lifted was calm and powerful, as if he had pulled out not only a big knife, but also an invisible chain, a chain that bound Zhaoming's heart, and a chain that bound Zhaoming's inch.

At this time, that chain had been completely cut off by the Minotaur's knife, and it could no longer restrain Zhaoming.

The moment he pulled out the broadsword, the minotaur took a deep breath, and Zhaoming let out a long breath.

Trapped by the heart, it is difficult to move an inch, the heart is not connected, and the sea and the sky are wide from now on. (To be continued......)
