Meng Duiwan would definitely agree to it. They would trade a life that was not important to them in exchange for the surrender of the entire village. Subduing someone without fighting is the most powerful art of war.
"I can promise you, but I can't guarantee that he will still have all his beards and tails now. I can only guarantee that I will keep him alive. As for how he will live in the future, I can't guarantee it." Meng Duiwan.
He said coldly, "Of course, you still have a chance to regret it now. You must clearly understand that my bottom line is a whole box of gold. You should know very well that a box of gold is enough for me to rebuild a village."
!”
"I will not go back on my word. His life is more important to me than anything else." The man's eyes were very firm.
Meng Duiwan smiled: "Since you have decided so, please open your door!"
The gate of the cottage was slowly pushed open, and Meng Duiwan rode a tall horse at the front. He quickly walked into the cottage and saw that the people standing on both sides were nothing more than women and young people who had not grown up.
One of the teenagers stared at Meng Duiwan with a very vicious look. She paused and then handed him a sword: "If this sword is in your hand now, do you really want to use it to kill me?"
?”
"Yes!" the young man said decisively.
Meng Duiwan walked up to the young man, looked into his eyes, and smiled: "But, I am using it to save people!"
The young man's face changed slightly.
"In this world, there are many choices. You can use this sword to kill people, or you can use this sword to save people. You can be selfish and just want to keep yourself alive, but you can also use this sword to save people.
In your own way, let the people in the world live with you." Meng Duiwan looked at the young man and said softly, "Follow me, and I will take you to see how many different things there are in this world. Don't be like a
Like a frog at the bottom of a well, I stay in this small village and look at the world."
The young man actually didn't understand much, but maybe it was because Meng was so good-looking to Wansheng, and he didn't look like the kind of person who had deep thoughts and killed his father for military exploits at all, so he was a little dumbfounded. Don't forget
I should have grabbed the sword at this moment and chopped her to death with one blow.
Meng Duiwan put away his sword, looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile: "If you have seen the thousands of worlds in the future and can distinguish right from wrong, but still feel that I have done something wrong, then you can
If the sword comes to kill me, I will not run away."
The determination in the young man's eyes gradually collapsed, and after a long time he shouted: "Can you guarantee that what you do in your life will always be right?"
Meng Duiwan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course I can't guarantee that all the choices I make in my life are right, but I can guarantee that I didn't do anything wrong in this matter."
The young man just looked at Meng Duiwan in front of him blankly, speechless for a long time.
Meng Duiwan, however, was not willing to waste time on this young man. He turned over and mounted his horse, looking at the man who opened the door and led them in: "Where is Xie Chengshang?"
The man didn't seem to expect that Meng would ask him such a direct question about the party, and he was stunned for a moment.
Meng Tingwan was a little impatient and frowned slightly: "Let me ask you, where is Xie Chengshang?"
The man suddenly came back to his senses, and then said in a panic: "I only saw him once, and he never came again. He only sent letters occasionally, but those things will be burned directly by the elder brother.
I have never seen it fall."
"So he came here once, but then he never came again, right?" Meng Duiwan looked at the man coldly.
The man was a little chilled by the stare, but he still nodded firmly: "Yes, he never came again, I can guarantee that."
"Okay!" Meng Duiwan responded, then looked back at me, Su Xubai, "It seems our trip was in vain!"
"Didn't you have such a plan in the first place?" Su Xubai raised his eyebrows, "If you recruit so many people, it's not a wasted trip."
"They are all old, weak, sick and disabled!" Meng Duiwan shook his head and sighed, "They are all poor people. If possible, we should let them go when the time comes. It is much harder to make a living in the military camp than outside."
Especially those prisoners who surrendered.
Furthermore, since there was no one they were looking for here, they naturally would not stay here forever. After handing over the matter to their subordinates, they went back with a small group of people.
On the way back, as soon as they entered the city, Su Xubai was clamoring to go for a stroll on the street, saying that he had to go anyway. Meng Duiwan originally didn't want to care about him, so he just let him go by himself, but this matter had to be done.
He clamored for her to accompany him. If it was just a normal time, she would not be willing to care about him. But now Su Xubai came here according to the emperor's will. If he ignored him, he would inevitably be charged.
There was no other way, so Meng Duiwan had to bite the bullet and go shopping with him.
Some of them were wearing military uniforms and walking on the street, which was particularly eye-catching. Meng Duiwan really couldn't stand the strange looks. He had been urging Su Xubai in front to take a look, but this boy was
He didn't care at all, he just walked slowly, not caring about the eyes of others.
"Has Master Su always been like this?" The female soldier on the side looked at Forsythia curiously.
Forsythia has been filled with hatred for a long time, but she couldn't say anything, so when you answered the question, you brought a little bit of personal grudges: "Who knows? A grown man is very pretentious, like a girl.
, just looking at it makes people bored!”
Being a female soldier, she was somewhat disapproving: "This Mr. Su has become a high-ranking official at a young age, and his appearance is extremely neat. You can tell by just looking at him, and he must have a bright future. If there is such a person,
It’s not a bad thing for people to be husbands!”
When Forsythia heard her soldiers praising the annoying dog man in front of her, her mouth felt slightly bitter, and her face looked disgusted as if she had stepped on dog shit.
Su Xubai, who was walking in front, listened clearly to the conversation between Forsythia and the female soldier. It was so clear that she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I almost feel hurt internally when I look at Forsythia!"
Meng Duiwan glanced at Su Xubai angrily: "Since you know that people almost get internal injuries from holding it in, then if you don't have anything to do, you can do yourself less by walking around less in front of others."
Su Xubai paused, then suddenly looked at Meng Duiwan: "What about you, I keep walking in front of you, are you about to suffer from internal injuries?"
Meng Duiwan looked into Su Xubai's eyes and saw a trace of hurt emotion in his eyes.
