Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen

When I walked out of Marquis Wu's camp, I felt like my heart was frozen into ice. Spring has come.The winter in southern Xinjiang is far less cold than in the imperial capital, and spring is also early. Two unknown trees outside Wuhou's tent are covered with white flowers, and the wind has begun to warm up.The rainy season is far from over, but today there is just some rain in the sky, and when the wind blows on the face, it has a sweet itchy smell.If the bark of those two trees were not too thick and hard to enter, they would have been stripped naked long ago. like her breath. "General Chu."

I jumped on the horse, and when I heard someone calling me, I turned around and took a look.The person calling me is Zhang Longyou. I haven't seen him for a long time. His face is darker and thinner than before.I smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, good. Where are you going?" He said: "I want to go to the west of the city to find some more raw materials, so let's go there with you." He also rode on the horse, walked up to me, and suddenly said hesitantly: "General Chu, there is no other choice, don't take it to heart." I smiled wryly, and said: "Is there anything I have to do, but human life can't be worse than a horse. Forget it, I won't think about it. Mr. Zhang, what are you doing now?"

He also smiled wryly, and said: "I want to try whether gunpowder can be made without Liuhuang, but I have no idea." "How many fire bombs are left?" He sighed, and said, "There are probably only a hundred or so. Others, there is nothing left." I didn't say anything.There was no gunpowder left. No matter how powerful Zhang Longyou was, he still couldn't make new weapons.This is also God's will, remembering that when Lu Gongxing met Zhang Longyou for the first time, he said with emotion: "Maybe, the outcome of this war will be tied to him." His words can only be said to be half right. , relying on his gunpowder, we have defended until now.But no matter how important Zhang Longyou is, without raw materials, he is no different from an ordinary soldier.

I looked at the sky, and the misty rain sprinkled on my face, thin and dense.There are also some drops of water on my battle armor, which looks shiny.Although Su Wenyue couldn't get enough to eat, every time I took off my armor, she wiped it clean for me.In the entire army, apart from Marquis Wu's armor, mine is probably the most shining. "Our southern expedition is only to counter the rebellion. Naturally, the rebels are all cruel and violent people. But how can we blame them now?" Zhang Longyou didn't say anything, just lowered his head.His Shangqing Danding sect also believes in cleanness and inaction, and he is probably thinking about the creed of his own sect.The two of us reined in the horses and walked slowly.After a while, Zhang Longyou heaved a long sigh as he walked past a dilapidated room.

"General Chu." He called me, but I didn't look up, just said: "What?" "Which is more valuable, a human life or a horse's life?" "Of course it's human life." "However, after the invasion of Gaojiu City, one person was captured and killed immediately, but one horse was captured and fed well. If human life is more valuable, why do you despise people and value horses?" "That's the situation..." When I said this, I was speechless.It is really hard to refute what Zhang Longyou said. I am against the resolution at the meeting, and the only alternative is to kill the horse.But on the battlefield, if I can kill my opponent, I will never kill the opponent's horse again.According to this way of thinking, it seems a bit hypocritical for me to express my dissent now.

Zhang Longyou sighed again, and said: "Although my teacher is not in harmony with the Qingxu Tuna Sect, his views are similar to theirs. He often told me that people in the legal system should be pure and inaction, and not get involved in the world. Once you enter the mundane world, you will have to do many things, and you will violate your conscience.” I looked at him in surprise, I couldn't believe that this was the stupid Zhang Longyou who was almost killed by De Yang that I saw in the supply camp before.I said, "You also voted for that negative vote, right?" He nodded and said: "Yes. The Lord has the kindness to me, but at this time, it is against the law of heaven. Even if it is difficult to turn back the storm with one hand, I can only object."

I thought that the negative vote was cast by Lu Jingyu, but I didn't expect it to be Zhang Longyou.There was a pain in my heart, for myself, and also for that Lu Jingyu who has always been like a heavenly man in my heart. At the last moment, Lu Jingyu still bowed his knees.However, I didn't dare to blame him. At this moment, I realized that rather than saying that I opposed Marquis Wu's resolution, it is better to say that my real thoughts were for her and for Su Wenyue. I'm not as noble as I thought. After returning to Ximen and breaking up with Zhang Longyou, I didn't go back to the camp, but went to the top of the city first.On the top of the city, Jin Qianshi is leading some dragon scale troops to rush to repair the battlements that have just been smashed.Now the snake people probably know that we are going to eat their corpses, and they have learned how to behave. Most of them use stone cannons to attack, and they no longer attack the city.Those stone cannons are not as huge as the ones I saw at the East Gate for the first time, which can punch a hole in the city wall with one cannon, but they are also much larger than those used by the Imperial Army.At the same time, the snake people's camp moved forward several hundred steps, and now it was five hundred steps away from the moat, and it was already the snake people's camp.

The snake man's general attack is imminent.I had just arrived at the position of the Dragon Scale Army, when Jin Qianshi saw me, he hurried over and said, "Commander, you are back. What orders does your lord have?" I sighed and said: "Your Majesty ordered that all the women in the army be gathered tomorrow." Jin Qianshi frowned: "What do you mean? Why don't you get rid of the stomach problem first, is Junhou still thinking about the beauty pageant for the emperor?" I smiled wryly and said, "General Jin, your thinking is too simple." He suddenly opened his eyes wide, his body trembled, and said: "Could it be...Could it be..."

I whispered: "Isn't it? It's true." There was a flash of fear in his eyes, and he calmed down again. He actually smiled and said: "That's fine, don't worry. It's just the commander, that Su Wenyue in your tent can't be kept. I didn't let the commander use it for a few days earlier." , I'm really sorry for you." I snorted and said, "I won't send her out." Jin Qianshi's complexion changed, and he said: "Commander, if you disobey orders, it is only a crime of beheading." I looked at the snake-man camp outside, snorted again, and said, "Just chop it up, anyway, it won't last for a few days anyway. In short, I will never send her out."

Jin Qianshi said anxiously: "Commander, have you forgotten Luan Peng? Luan Peng was exposed without doing anything. Although General Lu interceded for him, the Lord still beheaded him." In fact, I said that on impulse, but at this time I feel that I should.It's just that I have no way to protect her. Although she will definitely escape this time, if it continues like this, it will be impossible to escape in the end.If it was her or Su Wenyue, I would probably be happy with it. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt ashamed.I thought I was an upright gentleman, but after hearing Zhang Longyou's words, I realized that I was only doing it for those two women, and now I realized that after all, I was just afraid that she would end up like this. If they were allowed to keep one of them, I would Maybe Su Wenyue will be donated.

I'm not as noble as I thought. But the words have been spoken and cannot be taken back.I just said: "I have made up my mind." Jin Qianshi looked at me a little dumbfounded.I escaped his sight and said, "You guys stay here and watch, I'm so sleepy." Last night, the snake man came to attack at night, and after a whole night of fuss, he realized that it was a false attack.The snake man now moves like the wind, every time he attacks, he never drags his feet, and leaves as soon as he says, instead of fighting endlessly like in the early days. It seems that the snake man is also getting stronger.Their feints made me sleepless all day, and I am indeed a little sleepy now. Back in my tent, Su Wenyue was mending a piece of underwear for me.When she saw me, she stood up with a smile on her face and said, "General, you are back." I sat down slumped, and said, "Don't leave me, remember, never leave." She was a little at a loss and asked, "What happened?" I shouted: "Don't ask me anything, in short, never leave my side." She was taken aback and probably didn't know why I was so angry.These days, I have always been pleasant to her, and she has shown a rare smile.When I scolded her like this, there was some panic on her face.I felt a little distressed when I saw it, and said, "Anyway, you don't want to go out alone." "But General, if you assemble..." I was upset for a while, and shouted: "Don't worry about it." At this time, someone said at the door: "Commander." At that time, the voice of Jin Qianshi.I said, "General Jin, come in." He hugged a jar and brought in a large piece of meat in one hand.When Su Wenyue saw him, her complexion changed, and she saluted respectfully, her cheeks turned red.I looked at the meat in his hand, it was a leg, but it was definitely not a human leg, nor could it be the flesh of a snake man.I said, "What kind of meat is this?" Jin Qianshi grinned and said, "General, I killed Fei Yu." Feiyu is his mount.It was the first good horse of the Dragon Scale Army, with extremely fast feet. After I arrived at the Dragon Scale Army, the mount given to me was good enough, but it was not as good as his mount.A few days ago, the horse was shot in the front leg, and it has not recovered because of poor food.When Marquis Wu ordered the battalions to kill the sick and weak horses, Jin Qianshi refused to kill Fei Yu.The concubine can give me this gold thousand stones, but the horse is more important than anyone else. He even killed Fei Yu, and it was actually for me to see. I don't know whether to be grateful to him or to resent him.Fei Yu is such a good horse, it can recover after proper conditioning, even I feel a pity to kill it.However, in order to persuade me, he even killed his beloved horse, and I am really grateful to him. He put the jar on the case, and said: "Commander, this is the last jar of wine, let's get drunk today." Although I'm not addicted to alcohol, I can't help but feel a little moved when I smell the aroma of alcohol.He also put that horse leg on the table, pulled out his waist knife, cut off a piece, and put it on the stove to roast, while saying: "Commander, I don't need to mention Commander, you must understand why I am here today." I nodded and said, "I don't know about this. But I have made up my mind, General Jin doesn't need to say more." I also cut off a piece of meat, put it on the stove to roast, and sighed: "It's like your flying feather, didn't you feel bad when you killed it today?" When I was talking, I secretly glanced at Su Wenyue who was standing aside.She probably thought I was talking about horses, and her face was very calm. "Commander, I told you not to talk about this, just get drunk." The horse meat is roasted hot and fragrant on the fire.I put the baked piece into a bowl and said, "Su Wenyue, eat it." That's not pretending to be in front of Jin Qianshi, the food I get is always shared equally with Su Wenyue.She took it and said, "Thank you, General." Jin Qianshi looked at her, with a smile on his face, and said to me: "Come on, cheers." I took a sip, and felt that the wine was unusually mellow, a bit like the two barrels that Zhang Longyou poured down at the top of the city.Jin Qianshi cut off half of his roasted horse meat and said, "Commander, please." The taste of horse meat is very rough, but it is delicious when you are hungry.I took a bite and was about to say something when Jin Qianshi had already poured wine for me and said, "Commander, let's do it again." I didn't know how much I drank that day, but the more I drank, the more I woke up, but my vision became more and more blurred.Finally, after drinking a bowl, I couldn't hold on anymore and fell down.In a daze, it seemed that someone called me, but I didn't answer. When I woke up, I had a splitting headache, and it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.I also know that it is just a normal phenomenon of temporary blindness when I wake up, so I don’t need to worry about it, I just try to open my eyes and let myself adapt to this darkness. At this moment, things could be seen gradually in front of the eyes. There was no lamp in the tent, but a torch was burning outside, projecting a ball of light that kept beating onto the wall of the tent. In the tent, it was as dark as nothing.In the darkness, suddenly, a soft body clings tightly to my body, and two buds that are about to open are pressed against my chest, soft and unreal. I was startled, but the intoxication held me immobile.Immediately, two arms wrapped around my neck.In the darkness, Su Wenyue said softly: "Ah Hong, you are awake." She had never called me so tenderly.For the past seventeen days, although she is my concubine in name, she has been just like Bai Wei and Zi Liao before, only washing my clothes, cleaning my battle armor, and respectfully calling me "General".It's the first time I've heard that in my life. I'm a little embarrassed.This kind of skin-to-skin contact is also the first time for me.I said, "You...it's you..." "It's me." She said softly, "It's not yet dawn, it's still night." She hugged me tightly and pressed her hands on my back, which made me feel a very comfortable tingling.Maybe it was her nails digging into my skin, but the sting made me want to forget everything. "It's not dawn yet, go to sleep." She murmured, as if in her sleep.Maybe this is really a nightmare. When I wake up from the dream, the snake man and the Republican Army are all gone, and I am still in the military academy, waiting to go to the hotel with my classmates tomorrow to have a drink. Small cup.However, the wound on my left arm, which hadn't fully healed, felt a tingling pain from time to time, but it told me that it was not a dream. It wasn't a dream, even though I'd rather it be a dream. I hugged her tightly and kissed her lips soundlessly.In the smell of wine in my mouth, her lips were like the petals of a branch that opened prematurely, with a fresh fragrance.She threw herself on top of me and sighed softly. I fell into a deep valley. It was like a slip when I forgot everything, sinking in a blue sky, passing through the white clouds, those fluffy smoke passing by my side, under my ribs, and between my fingers, I was struggling desperately , is still empty. But that despair is also beautiful. The rain is still falling, but it has become much lighter. Now it hits the tent with gentle crackling sounds, dense and dense, like a bead curtain made of countless small beads, rippled by the wind. She moaned softly, and as the torches outside passed through the tent, I could only see a faint shadow of her moving, more like a virtual image than real. I couldn't bear it anymore, I hugged her with my weak arms, let her lie on me, and sobbed softly. She hugged me tightly, as if wanting to merge into my body, she just murmured: "The night is still long, go to sleep, this is the longest night in my life." I didn't know what to say, I just hugged her desperately, as if I was afraid that she would float away like a feather.But the drunkenness made my arm feel like it didn't belong to me, and I couldn't even feel the person in my arms. She stroked my hair and murmured: "If there is a person like you in all this, then this life will not be in vain." I didn't say anything, I just felt that her body started to heat up again, like a piece of ice gradually melting. "Promise me, live well." I suddenly raised my head, looked at her face, and said, "What did you hear?" Her eyes were full of tears, like a flower that was about to wither, and it was too much for a drop of morning dew. I was speechless for a long time.The rain sprinkled on the tent, rustling, and made the light of the torch that came in dimmed a lot. The drunkenness began to strike again. When I woke up, it was broad daylight.I am alone in bed.A red hair tie wrapped around my wrist looked like blood.Looking at the headband, I felt dazed for a while, as if something had been pulled from the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't even stand still.I got dressed and walked out of the tent. Jin Qianshi stood at the door with his back to me.I walked over, stood beside him, and whispered, "You told her?" Jin Qianshi looked at me, then avoided my gaze, and didn't answer me.I patted his shoulder and sighed: "I can't blame you, I just think I'm a despicable person." Jin Qianshi raised his head and said, "Commander, don't say that..." I didn't dare to look at him anymore, I just looked up at the sky.Today is cloudy, maybe it will still rain after a while, and the sky is filled with gray clouds.I put my hands behind my back and said, "General Jin, I only thought I was an upright person, but I didn't know until the end of the matter. I'm just a despicable villain." He sighed, and said: "Commander, a man, how could he love his sons and daughters, don't blame me..." Before he finished speaking, I suddenly pulled out the Baipi Saber.His face changed, and before he could say anything else, I had already cut my left arm. Blood gushed out like a spring. Jin Qianshi said in surprise: "Commander, what are you doing?" He snatched my knife, tore a strip of cloth from my clothes, and bound my wound.I didn't speak, as if the arm didn't grow on me. Blood flowed down the arm, and the hair tie on the wrist was now hidden in a cloud of blood and could not be seen clearly.I looked at the sky, couldn't help it anymore, tears rolled out. It's not that I don't know that when I'm drunk, I don't know people and things, but I'm still drunk.It was just because he wanted to get drunk to escape that responsibility.But now what else can I do but blame myself?Knowing that I am not as noble as I thought, I feel a kind of self-defeating pleasure.The guilt towards Su Wenyue and the hatred towards herself are intertwined, even if the blood is gone now, I won't care. In the sky, the clouds are getting thicker and thicker.Behind the clouds, I vaguely heard her timid voice when I saw Su Wenyue for the first time, the rare joy when I drank porridge with me, and her faint sigh last night.All of these will burn my memory like a pile of fire when I don't expect it. If I can remember. Twenty-third days after the messenger was dispatched, there was still no news.Marquis Wu has sent five batches of messengers, and it stands to reason that the last batch of messengers should have returned, but there was none. Sitting at the head of the city, I held a bowl of broth that had just been served and drank it.That was the only bit of horse meat left. The women were killed to the point where only a few female musicians in the Wuhou camp were prepared to be teachers and dedicated to the emperor. Now some craftsmen have begun to be beheaded.I remember listening to senior students in the military academy talk about the siege of Jialuo City when the Great Emperor conquered the kingdom. At that time, the city was besieged for two months. The city was exhausted, but the city still could not be captured. At that time, the imperial army had killed and eaten prisoners.At that time, when I heard this story, I felt it was too cruel. I once thought that if I have this day in the future, I will never eat people.What I am eating now is also my mount, although the horse is actually very strong, and Marquis Wu also issued an order that commanders at all levels can keep the mount, but I still killed it and distributed the meat to the Dragon Scale Army. That could be considered a protest against Marquis Wu's decision.It is always good to let my subordinates eat less human flesh. I had just finished drinking the broth when someone shouted from the top of the city: "The snake man is coming! The snake man is coming!" Snake people are getting more and more aggressive these days, but they are also very careful and never attack hard.If it was a single battle, it would be much easier to deal with than the fierce battles before.But the Snakeman's attacks are already quite organized, and that frequency makes us exhausted. Perhaps, I don't know which one is the general attack of the snake man. After causing seven or eight casualties to the snake people, they finally retreated.But our loss was 17 people. The frightening thing is that when the remaining soldiers at the top of the city looked at the dead, there was appetite in their eyes. Now the snake people and us seem to have fallen one by one.I kind of wanted to sneer, but couldn't. The battering ax was too heavy for me to lift.This was absolutely impossible before, but now that I have done it once, I am still out of breath.I put the battering ax against the wall and sat down.Wu Wanling came over and said, "Commander." I looked at him and said, "What's wrong?" "If you don't eat anymore, you won't be able to support the commander." I stood up and tried my best to straighten my exhausted body, and said, "General Wu, you must know that a man can do something and not do something. If you have to eat people to keep your life, even if you survive What's the point? It's not as good as Zhu Tianwei." Wu Wanling lowered her head, not daring to look at me anymore.The rations distributed these days are the corpses of women.Even these cruel foods are scarce, and there are not many craftsmen, and half of them have been beheaded. Thousands of women only made the city last for six days.When the women and craftsmen are all eaten up, what to eat next?Eat those wounded and war dead?In the past, even though I was losing ground in front of the snake people, I still had an inexplicable sense of pride, thinking that people are people after all, and the snake people are just cannibals and beasts.But now it seems that our self-righteous pride is nothing more than a kind of deception to ourselves. Wu Wanling didn't say anything.His body was also shaking, and his legs were slowly bent down. Suddenly, he vomited violently.Indeed, as long as a person knows that what he eats was a living person a few days ago, he will definitely vomit. Watching him throw up, I didn't say anything, just looked up to the sky.It's cloudy and it might rain again.The rainy season in southern Xinjiang lasts for a month, and it is coming to an end now.If the snake people want to take advantage of the rainy season to launch a general attack, it probably won't be too long. At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from under the city, which was very hasty.At this time, it is rare to beat a horse so fast.I was about to see who it was, but I heard someone shout: "General Chu, is General Chu of the Dragon Scale Army here?" The voice came from under the city, it was Lu Gongxing's voice.I patted Wu Wanling and walked on without saying anything. The steps should be very solid, but I also feel like I am stepping on soft cotton wool when I walk.After finally getting down from the city, I saw Lu Gongxing riding on his horse, without dismounting, and said anxiously, "General Chu, something happened to Qi Lie!" "what?" I felt as if I had been pricked by a needle, and I didn't know where the strength came from, so I was surprised: "What's wrong?" "He was accused of hiding a female prisoner, but he refused to hand it over. Now Junhou has ordered the Reebok camp to arrest him. He took the woman and fled to Mr. Zhang's tent, tied Mr. Zhang, and used a car to arrest him. The sky fire flying dragon chariot came to threaten the prince." I just felt as if I had been hit on the head, my head was buzzing, and I couldn't help being dizzy for a while.Qi Lie also found a woman when he broke the city, I also know it, I saw it once before.But, I didn't expect that he would do such a thing. Isn't that what I want to do but dare not do? "Now? I'll go, I'll go right away." I looked around incoherently.The Dragon Scale Army's horses are gone now, should I go on foot?I was at a loss, Lu Gongxing said: "General Chu, come up and ride with me." I looked at him, his horse wasn't too weak, and it took two people to walk a mile or two to the head office.I nodded and said, "Okay." I walked up to his horse, and I used to think it was very simple to get on the horse. I also did it extremely thrillingly, and it was precarious.When I was about to jump on the horse, I swayed and almost fell, but Lu Gongxing grabbed me to prevent me from falling on all fours. I jumped onto the horse that was running respectfully on the road, and I turned my head to Jin Qianshi who was sitting on the side: "General Jin, you are in charge of this place, and you must not make any mistakes." These days the snake people are getting more and more aggressive, and I'm a little scared that there will be snake people attacking while I'm away.If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable-in fact, there is no need to imagine.If something like this really happens, then it can be said that everything is over, there is no need for Marquis Wu to punish, the snake man will definitely wipe out everyone. Lu Gongxing was still very stable on the horse.Although he has lost a lot of weight, his horse riding skills have not diminished in the slightest.I sat behind him and couldn't feel any bumps.I said, "General Lu, what is going on with Xiaolie?" "There was a woman hiding in his tent. He dressed the woman up as a soldier and didn't let her out. Who would have thought that he was accused yesterday, and the prince was furious and wanted to capture him. Who would have thought that he held the Knife resistance, as you know, people in the Qianfeng Battalion don't want to get involved." My heart is like a fire.Lu Gongxing led me to turn a few turns, and turned in from a small road.I said, "Where is that going?" "That's Zhang Longyou's camp. Junhou specially set aside this area, guarded by five hundred soldiers, to test firearms for Mr. Zhang. Somehow Xiao Lie found out about this place, escaped in, and captured Mr. Zhang. General Chu , Your Majesty is already furious, I'm afraid..." He didn't say any more, and the time had come. There is a large open space inside, and there are several tents in the open space, all of which are fenced off with some odds and ends of fences.Is that where Zhang Longyou stayed?I used to think that he lived next to Marquis Wu just like the other soldiers. It seems that Marquis Wu looked at him differently. But this time is not thinking about these times.Now there are five or six hundred soldiers surrounding the tent in the middle. An officer at the front is holding a long gun and is threatening to charge. Behind this team, sitting on a big chair is none other than Marquis Wu.I don't know where the strength came from, I jumped off the horse suddenly, rushed forward in a stumbling manner, and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" As soon as I arrived in front of Marquis Wu, I suddenly knelt down and said out of breath, "Master Junhou, please... please allow me to persuade that man." Marquis Wu looked at me and said, "Is he the one who succeeds you as the commander of the Fifth Battalion of Frontier Centurions?" "Mr. Hou Mingjian." He snorted, and said, "I'll give you time for a stick of incense. If you don't come out, it will be regarded as a rebellion and you will be killed. General Chu, you have to be careful." I was bitter for a while, and said: "The last general will understand." Marquis Wu engaged in such a big battle for the purpose of killing chickens for monkeys to see.Many people in the army hid the women in their tents and refused to hand them over. Marquis Wu treated these people very cruelly. If there was any real evidence, the woman would be killed on the spot.But even with such an iron fist, there are still many people who conceal the female prisoners and refuse to hand them over.If this practice is followed, Qi Lie will undoubtedly die. I stood up and walked towards the tent. Zhang Longyou's tent is particularly tall.I stood in front of the door curtain and said loudly, "Xiao Lie! Xiao Lie! Are you inside?" Qi Lie's choked voice came out: "General! Is it really you?" I said, "Of course it's me. Can I come in?" I was about to go in, but suddenly I heard Qi Lie shout: "General, get out!" I was stunned, and said: "I am only one person, no one else came in, Xiao Lie, don't you believe me?" I opened the curtain and walked in. It is full of bottles and cans, which must be something Zhang Longyou often uses.Qi Lie held a long knife, with tears in his eyes, and pointed the knife at Zhang Longyou who was sitting on the side.A woman was standing beside him, her face was also full of panic and uneasiness, but Zhang Longyou was calm, drinking water at a leisurely pace, and nodded to me when he saw me coming in. Seeing me coming in, Qi Lie seemed to want to say something, but he pointed the knife at me anyway. I said, "Xiao Lie, what happened?" He pointed the knife at me, but his hands were shaking.After a while, he cried out with a "wow", and shouted: "General, they are going to kill Ah Jing. General, help me, help me, let us escape, I don't want to fight anymore, I just want to kill you!" I want to have a good time." Ah Jing must be that woman.I looked at the woman and felt a faint pain in my heart.That Ah Jing vaguely looks like Su Wenyue, they are all about the same age and appearance.Qi Lie looked at me hopefully, probably hoping that I could come up with some clever plan.He had an unrealistic reverence for me, as if I could do anything. I sighed, and said, "Xiao Lie, have you ever thought about it, besides paying for your own life, what's the use of doing this?" He definitely didn't expect me to say such a thing, looked at the woman, and suddenly cried: "I don't care! Anyway, I can't hand Ah Jing over." I gritted my teeth and said, "Little Lie! You are a soldier. Soldiers take obedience as their duty, have you forgotten?" "But general, you have said that everyone has the right to live, and you have also said that military orders are like mountains, and orders are also chaotic, so you have always been displeased with our massacre of the city. Is it the tragedy of killing people and eating meat now? You can see it instead?" I frowned, barely daring to answer his words.How should I tell him?Tell him that I am also a timid person. Even if I object, I still have to do it in the end.But if you say that, Qi Lie must not listen. "Xiao Lie, the city is now at the end of its rope. If not, the whole army will be wiped out. Besides," I hesitated for a moment, almost afraid to continue, but I continued to say, "Besides, you are not It’s not because you can’t bear to see such tragic things, but because you want to take away the woman you like, it’s just a spur of the moment.” These words seem to be exposing the scars in my heart.Now, my heart is also bleeding, right? Qi Lie was also a little stunned.He was impulsive, and he must have had a sense of pride that was close to martyrdom.But my words also knocked out his pride, and now he just stares at me blankly. "And Mr. Zhang, there used to be so many soldiers outside. If you really released the Huofeilong chariot that day, wouldn't it save one person and kill so many people? What's the point?" Qi Lie let go of his hand, the knife fell, and the man fell to his knees.At this moment, the door curtain was thrown open, and people from the Reebok camp rushed in, but Qi Lie seemed to have no reaction.The people from the Reebok camp stepped forward and grabbed Qi Lie, while others grabbed the woman and immediately left the tent. While they were doing this, I stood still, motionless.What I said to Qi Lie also hurt my heart, and even made me more painful. Just now I was afraid that I would fall to the ground without even finishing my words. I adjusted my breathing, and just as I took a step, tears welled up in my eyes.Zhang Longyou sighed long and didn't say anything. I saluted him indifferently and walked out. Qi Lie and the woman were dragged to kneel in front of Marquis Wu.I walked over and knelt on the ground without looking up.Marquis Wu smiled and said, "General Chu, you rule the army like iron, and your orders are like mountains. You really have the style of an ancient general." I still didn't look up, and said: "Junhou, the last general dare not. The last general only asks for one thing." "What's up?" "Qi Lie did such things because I taught him in the past, and I cannot escape the guilt. I am willing to take the responsibility that Qi Lie deserves, and I hope you will be kind." Marquis Wu didn't say anything.There is no precedent for that, and if Qi Lie is going to be killed, will I also be killed?What I mean by this is that I know that Marquis Wu will not really punish me, but I am advancing by retreating so that he will not kill Qi Lie. Qi Lie suddenly jumped up, and the Reebok camp on the side screamed, and the big eagle and the little eagle also drew their knives in their hands, and took a step, only to expect Qi Lie to rush forward.But Qi Lie pulled out a small waist knife from his waist and stabbed the woman's vest.The woman didn't say anything, and immediately lay down softly. Marquis Wu smiled slightly, and said: "General Prayer, it's not too late to make amends. Originally, you should be severely punished, but now is the time for employing people, so follow the power..." Without waiting for Marquis Wu to say how to follow the right, Qi Lie smiled sadly and said: "No need." His small waist knife pulled out the woman's vest, and with bloodstains, it pierced into his heart.I exclaimed in surprise: "Xiaolie..." I was about to get up, but there was no time.When I rushed to his side, he had fallen limply, with a slight smile on his lips. I called out, "Xiao Lie, why are you so stupid?" Qi Lie's eyes were already dull, and he said in a daze: "General, you... said that a man...does something, does something...doesn't..." Before he finished speaking, he had already fallen on the woman's body.The blood on the two people kept gushing out, forming a pool on the ground, and slowly flowing down. I don't know how long I stood there.After a while, someone supported me and said, "General Chu, General Chu!" That was Lu Gongxing.Hearing his voice, I realized where I was.I smiled sadly and said, "General Lu, probably, I'm not really a man at all." Lu Gongxing didn't answer me either, and he had nothing to say at this time. It started to rain again, and the thin rain fell on my face, as cold as many small needles made of ice.Where Qi Lie and the woman died, there is still some blood, which has dried up.The raindrops hit it, shining like a jewel, and seemed to be burning.
