Part One Chapter Eighteen: Impermanence Fire 4

[69 Book Bar - www.] I stood up, trying hard to straighten my already exhausted body, and said: "General Wu, you must also know that there are things a man can do and things he shouldn't do. If you have to rely on cannibalism to survive,

You can save your life, but what’s the point of living? It’s not as good as Zhu Tianwei.”

Wu Wanling lowered his head, not daring to look at me anymore. The rations given out these days are women's corpses. Even these cruel rations are already very small. There are not many craftsmen, and half of them have been killed.

Thousands of women can only keep the city going for six days. When the women and craftsmen are all eaten up, what will we eat next? Eat the wounded soldiers and those killed in battle? In the past, even if I retreated steadily in front of the snake people, I

There is still an inexplicable pride, and we feel that humans are humans after all, and snake people are just life-eating beasts. But now it seems that our self-righteous pride is just a kind of deception to ourselves.

Wu Wanling didn't say anything. His body was trembling and his legs slowly bent down. Suddenly, he vomited violently. Indeed, as long as he is alone, he knows that what he ate was a living person a few days ago.

People who are sick will definitely vomit.

Watching him vomiting, I said nothing and just raised my head and looked at the sky. The sky was very gloomy and it might rain again. The rainy season in southern Xinjiang will last 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 offensive

If so, it probably won't be too long.

At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves coming from the city. It was very fast. It was rare to see horses beating so fast at this time. I was about to see who it was, but I heard someone shouting: "Chu

General, is General Chu of the Dragon Scale Army here?"

The voice came from below the city, and it was Lu Gongxing's voice. I patted Wu Wanling, said nothing, and walked down.

The steps should be very solid, but when I walked, I felt like I was stepping on soft cotton wool. I finally got down from the city, and saw Lu Gongxing riding on his horse. He did not dismount, with a worried look on his face, and said: "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. I asked in surprise: “What’s wrong?”

"He was reported to be hiding a female prisoner, but refused to hand it over. Now the monarch has ordered the Reebok camp to capture him. He took the woman and fled to Mr. Zhang's camp, kidnapped Mr. Zhang, and used a car to capture him.

The sky-fire flying dragon chariot comes to threaten the king."

I felt like I had been hit on the head with a stick, my head buzzed, and I couldn't help but feel dizzy. Qi Lie also found a woman when he was in the city. I also knew about it. I had seen her once before. But, I didn't

To think that he would actually do such a thing, isn't that what I want to do but don't dare to do?

"What now? I'll go, I'll go right away."

I looked around incoherently. There were no horses left in the Dragon Scale Army. Should I go there on foot? I was at a loss when Lu Gongxing said: "General Chu, come up and ride with me."

I looked at him and saw that his horse was not too weak. It would take two people to walk a mile or two. I nodded and said, "Okay."

I walked to his horse, and the action of mounting the horse, which I thought was very simple before, was extremely thrilling and shaky. Just when I was about to jump on the horse, I staggered and almost fell off. Lu Gongxing grabbed me to prevent me from falling.

He fell on all fours.

Jumping on Lu Gongxing's horse, I turned to Jin Qianshi who was sitting on the side and said, "General Jin, you are in charge here. You must not make any mistakes."

The attacks of snakemen these days are becoming more and more fierce. I am a little afraid that snakemen will attack while I am away. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous - in fact, there is no need to imagine. If such a thing really happens, then it will be unimaginable.

It can be said that everything is over. There is no need for punishment from Marquis Wu. The snake people will definitely wipe out everyone.

Lu Gongxing was still very steady on the horse. Although he had lost a lot of weight, his horse control skills remained as good as before. I sat behind him and could not feel any bumps. I said: "General Lu

,What’s going on with Xiao Lie?”

"There was a woman hiding in his tent. He dressed her up like a soldier and didn't let her out. Who knew that someone had reported her yesterday, and the prince was so angry that he wanted to capture her. Who knew that he actually held her captive?

Dao resists, and you know that no one in the forward camp wants to get involved."

My heart was even more burning. Lu Gongxing took me around a few turns and turned in from a small road. I said, "Where are you going?"

"That's Zhang Longyou's camp. The prince specially set aside this area, guarded by five hundred soldiers, to test the firearms for Mr. Zhang. Somehow Xiao Lie knew about this place, escaped in, and captured Mr. Zhang. General Chu

, the prince is furious, I'm afraid..."

He didn't say any more, it was already time.

There is a large open space inside. There are several camps in the open space, which are blocked by some scattered fences. Is that where Zhang Longyou stays? I used to think that he was just like other soldiers who joined the army.

They all live next to Wuhou, and it seems that Wuhou also looks at him differently.

But this is not the time to think about these things. There are now five to six hundred soldiers surrounding the tent in the center. An officer at the front is holding a long gun and is ready to charge. And behind the team, sitting on a big chair, is

It was Marquis Wu. I didn’t know where I got the strength from, so I jumped off my horse, stumbled forward, and shouted: "Junhou! Junhou!"

As soon as I arrived in front of Marquis Wu, I suddenly knelt down and said out of breath: "Your Majesty, please...please allow me to persuade that person."

Marquis Wu looked at me and said, "Is he your successor as centurion of the fifth forward battalion?"

"The Lord's Ming Jian."

He snorted and said, "I'll give you a stick of incense. If you don't come out, it will be treated as a traitor and will be killed. General Chu, you have to be careful."

I felt bitter for a while and said, "The general will finally understand."

Marquis Wu made such a big battle just to kill the chicken for the monkeys to see. Many people in the army hid the women in their tents and refused to hand them over. Marquis Wu was very cruel to these people. If there is any real evidence, he would have killed the woman on the spot, and he would have

He had to be reprimanded fifty times and be demoted to an ordinary soldier. But even with such iron-handed measures, many people still refused to hand over the female prisoners. If this practice was followed, Qi Lie would definitely die.

I stood up and walked towards the tent.

Zhang Longyou's tent was particularly tall. I stood in front of the door curtain and shouted loudly: "Xiao Lie! Xiao Lie! Are you in there?"

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 shouting: "General, get out quickly!" I was stunned and said: "I am only one person, no one else is coming in. Xiao Lie, don't you believe me?"

I opened the curtain and walked in.
