For such a young man, he actually has such good kung fu. Wei Yan couldn't help but sigh, and he couldn't help but feel like a hero in his twilight years.

"I don't know what the purpose of General Murong's late-night visit is. Is it because he wants to take my head?" Wei Yan's tone was very calm, not as angry as someone who had just threatened him.

Murong Shuangshuang was not surprised that Wei Yan had guessed her identity. She smiled lightly and said: "General Wei is a famous general of the generation. The younger generation admires him very much. I have the honor to compete with General Wei today. I can't help but yearn for it. That's why I came here."

One look at the old general's demeanor, it turns out that the old general is getting stronger with age and is very powerful."

Wei Yan snorted coldly, "General Murong is also a young and talented man with a good reputation. I have heard about it for a long time. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation. He is really good at it."

Murong Shuangshuang blinked, as if he did not hear the sarcasm in Wei Yan's tone, and said with a chuckle: "Old General, you are so complimentary. Your skills are not bad at all, and are not inferior to those of young people."

Wei Yan was indifferent to Murong Shuangshuang's compliments, "There's no need to say nice things. You and I have different positions. I am a soldier and you are a thief. We have nothing in common. Since General Murong is here today, he has to kill as he pleases, but

If you want to encourage me to surrender to the rebels, you'd better not open your mouth."

Although Wei Yan was a military general, he was an extremely shrewd military general. He guessed the purpose of Murong Shuangshuang's coming here just in a flash of his mind. Although in his heart Wei Yan did not hate a talented female general like Murong Shuangshuang, he even admired her very much.

But Wei Yan would never want to betray his loyal emperor.

"What is a soldier? What is a thief?" The calm smile on Murong Shuangshuang's face suddenly had a hint of irony.

"Old General, you know that for the common people in the world, the so-called officers and soldiers are no different from thieves. They are both afraid of them and shunned by them.

Did the old general ever know how many people died at the hands of officers and soldiers? Wherever the officers and soldiers passed by, they were like locusts crossing the border, and they were more hateful than the thieves the old general said."

Wei Yan's face was cold, and he was not moved by Murong Shuangshuang's words at all, "If it weren't for people like you with evil intentions to cause trouble, why would the people have to go through these chaos of swords and weapons."

"There are countless exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes, all kinds of corvee labor are coming one after another, the weather is good and the land is rich in harvest, but the people are dying of hunger. If there is a way to survive, how can there be so many rebels? In the final analysis, it is just the court's own fault.

It's a pity that General Wei, who has been famous all his life and served the imperial court faithfully, was relegated to such a small city as a guard general. The loyal ministers and good generals in the imperial court were expelled. It is so chilling.

Even if the old general can ignore these things for the sake of loyalty, then to the old general, what is more important is your loyalty or the suffering of the people.

I know that the old general loves the people at heart, so the people in this city love him. But has the general ever faced their sufferings, and has he ever thought that the sufferings of these people are caused by this king to whom you are loyal?

of."

Murong Shuangshuang's words were very inflammatory, but Wei Yan looked indifferent and unmoved, "Even if you have a lotus tongue, you would never want me to betray Your Majesty. I, Wei Yan, will be loyal and patriotic throughout my life and will never be a traitor."

Murong Shuangshuang knew that Wei Yan was determined, but he never thought that Wei Yan would be able to convince him with just a few words, so Murong Shuangshuang did not intend to talk nonsense, but directly stepped forward and knocked Wei Yan unconscious with a knife.

Wei Yan, who was on full alert, had no resistance but was struck by Murong both, and fell softly. When Wei Yan woke up, he found that he was far away from his general's mansion and was sitting on a big rock.

Wei Yan immediately stood up and looked around with vigilance, and found that he was at the gate of a city. The surrounding area was extremely noisy and there was a lot of people coming and going. There were many stalls not far from the gate, selling fruits, tea and snacks.

, there are also several stalls selling snacks, and there are many people stopping in front of each stall.

At the gate of the city, there are farmers carrying poles selling their own vegetables lining up to enter the city. All the people coming and going have smiles on their faces, smiles full of hope and satisfaction.

Wei Yan was a little dazed when he saw this prosperous and lively scene that could only be seen in the peaceful and prosperous times. This scene of people living and working in peace and contentment was something he had only seen when he was young.

That was Emperor Wen, the grandfather of the current emperor. Although Emperor Wen was a little fatuous, it was not too serious. People in some prosperous cities under Emperor Wen's rule had a pretty good life. At that time, he could occasionally see a lot of things in prosperous places.

Such smiling people.

Later, the emperors became more and more stupid from generation to generation, and the people were in dire straits. He had never seen such a scene full of vitality, which made people feel happy when they looked at it.

What he sees most now is the extravagance and boundless enjoyment in the families of officials, as well as the sad faces of the common people who cannot raise their eyebrows, their waists that cannot straighten under the burden of life, and the painful and desperate cries of the tax corvee.

.

However, Wei Yan's psychological quality is very strong. He just came back to his senses after being in a daze for a while, and remembered that he was abducted by Murong Shuangshuang.

Previously in the room, Wei Yan was knocked unconscious without even seeing Murong Shuangshuang's movements. Then when he opened his eyes, he was at this place.

Looking back, the girl next to him was wearing a veil, without any weapons in her hands, and was still wearing the same clothes. She was leaning on the tree trunk on the side, waiting for him to come to his senses. When he saw Wei Yan looking over, he showed an innocent face to him.

smile.

Her eyes were crooked, and she looked very innocent, as if she was not the one who broke into his general's house before and kidnapped him, the hostile general, without saying a word.

Wei Yan took a breath, feeling a little weak in his heart. He had no idea what Murong Shuangshuang wanted to do by getting him out, but he couldn't resist. The other party seemed gentle, but in fact he was domineering and strong. Wei Yan was sure that he could only follow the other party's wishes.

, otherwise, unless he fights with death, he will never be able to resist the other party.

"General Murong, what is your purpose in bringing me here?" Keeping his face calm, Wei Yan gave full play to his strong psychological quality and showed no signs of panic even if he was in a disadvantageous situation.

"I don't have any ill intentions. I just wanted to invite General Wei to go out with me. In order to avoid General Wei's rejection, I had to use some tricks. Please don't blame me." Murong Shuangshuang said with a light smile.

Wei Yan stared at Murong Shuangshuang for a long time without saying a word, with a strong aura, but Murong Shuangshuang looked at Wei Yan completely without feeling, his expression unchanged.
