After Gu Xiao sent Jiang Ningxue and Yandian Guo out of the city and returned to the city, General Sun Pian was still guarding the corridor, waiting for the guards to change. When he saw the young man returning, he knew that the governor had become the governor, so he didn't say much, just because the guards had changed.
When he arrived, he immediately led the young man to leave on his own.
When they reached the city gate alley, there was no one else around, and then they said to the young man: "Brother Mu, please go, I will leave this place to you."
"Thank you, General Sun, for your help." The young man cupped his fists and said.
"Brother Mu, you don't have to be polite... By the way, Brother Yang is at the private house outside Yunlai Inn. Please ask Brother Mu to take care of you." Sun Pianjiang thought of Yang Huchen. Now that he was firmly nailed to the south gate of Yanbei City, he had no choice but to
Entrust Yang Huchen to the young man.
"Don't worry, General Sun. I will go find Brother Yang tonight and inform him about the deployment of troops out of the city." The young man said goodbye with clasped fists, and then disappeared into the night.
——
In the Shan Mansion, it is very busy, not because the day of military regulations is approaching, but because of the strange phenomenon in Yanbei City tonight, which not only caused an explosion in the Shan Mansion, but also the commanding general of Yanbei in the Shan Mansion.
There is no sleepiness at all.
At this moment, he was sitting alone in his study, staring at the night sky outside the window, not even noticing the cold wind of early spring coming in. It wasn't until his subordinate captain knocked on the door to report that he recalled the general's thoughts and spoke softly.
"Enter!"
The captain of the personal army opened the door gently and entered the room. When he saw the tired look on his general's face, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. He was commanding the general with dignity, but how could he look so tired?
Shan Bin was unaware of the thoughts of his soldiers, and said seriously: "What's the matter!"
Seeing this, the soldiers quickly gathered their thoughts and knelt down with a military salute and said: "General Sun has received the military order and led his troops to the south gate to change.
Defend."
After hearing the report from the soldiers, Shan Bin not only showed no warning on his face, but also looked relaxed. His expression softened slightly and he said: "I understand, General."
After finishing speaking, he saw that the soldier was still kneeling on the ground and did not leave. He frowned slightly and said: "What? Is there anything else to report?"
"I...Sun..." the captain said, seeming hesitant.
"What about you, Sun? My subordinate, Shan Bin, is never a hesitant person!" Seeing the hesitant look of his own soldiers, Shan Bin's face was slightly cold, his brows were raised, and he shouted to his subordinate, the captain.
As if touched by Shan Bin's words, the soldier seemed to have made up his mind. He clasped his fists and said, "Since the general has decided to surrender... why is there any need to use Sun..."
"Insolent! I, the general, will not allow you to say more words. If you say more, I will deal with you immediately!" Before the captain could finish his words, Shan Bin got up and scolded the captain angrily.
Seeing that his general was angry, the captain didn't dare to say anything anymore. He stood up and left in a hurry. Only when there was no one in the room did Shan Bin calm down his anger. His eyes moved slightly, as if he had already noticed that there was someone in the room, and he glanced behind him cautiously.
.
"Pa... bang..." A burst of applause, accompanied by a chuckle, came from the screen behind him, and then a person walked out and walked into the room. The person who came was none other than Lu Can, the envoy of the Jin Dynasty.
"General Shan really leads the troops well, this little colonel can actually spy on the general's thoughts!" He spoke in a very relaxed tone, but with a hint of murderous intent.
Shan Bin was slightly stunned and didn't know when he sneaked into his house. However, when the captain was reporting, he had already heard someone lurking behind the screen, so he scolded the captain.
Naturally, the Jin envoy's words at this moment were not intended to ridicule him... Shan Bin seemed to hear that
After understanding what the Jin envoy meant, he looked embarrassed and said to the Jin envoy: "This kid has been with me for many years and is my strength..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Jin envoy who raised his hand. At this moment, the atmosphere in the study was just like when Shan Bin reprimanded his lieutenant.
The Jin envoy Yi gave an angry command, and Yanbei commanded the general with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes submissive. Fortunately, there were no servants in the palace to serve him, otherwise he would have been shocked and speechless when he saw this scene.
"General, don't forget that once your surrender to our court is revealed, not only will you die, but I will also be implicated. If it fails... I don't need to tell you the consequences, right?" The Jin envoy said, full of emotions.
Chill.
Xu was worried that the conversation between the two would be known by others. When the Jin envoy spoke, Shan Bin had already walked to the door and raised his hand to close the door. When he looked back, his face had changed and he spoke flatteringly to the Jin envoy.
"Your Majesty, can you be kind enough to spare that kid's life..."
The Jin envoy raised his eyes and looked at the Yanbei commanding general in front of him, as if with a scrutinizing gaze, trying to see through the people's hearts in front of him, but no matter how scrutinizing his gaze, the general in front of him just bowed his head, without any flaws.
Seeing this scene, the Jin envoy couldn't help but secretly thought: "This person does not seem to be a hypocrite, but Wang Heng's words have to be guarded against, and he must find a way to test him."
After calming down his mind, his face darkened, he put on a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Spare one of his lives, I'm afraid more people's lives will have to be sacrificed to save the general's life... I have informed General Shan of the stakes.
Tell me how to make a decision...General Shan is a smart man, I think there is no need for me to say more?"
As soon as these words came out, Shan Bin knew that he had no way out, and his face was flattering.
The color suddenly disappeared, the eyes turned rapidly, reluctance, murderous intent, and hesitation appeared in turn, but after a while, these finally turned into a strong murderous intent, and he murmured: "I understand what to do."
When the Jin envoy heard this, he didn't know whether he didn't trust Shan Bin or wanted to thoroughly test his surrender. A teasing smile appeared on his lips and he looked at the other party steadily, as if waiting for his next move.
Seeing this, Shan Bin's eyes showed a little anger, but it disappeared after a moment. He said to the envoy of Jin: "Your Majesty, please wait for a moment. I will come back as soon as I leave."
He started to move forward, but he heard the Jin envoy behind him speak to stop him: "Wait a minute!"
Shan Bin stopped and looked back, and saw that the Jin envoy still had a cruel smile on his face and said: "General Shan is just too troublesome to do this himself. Why don't you send someone to call the captain? Maybe I can do it for you!"
Although the Jin envoy smiled, there was no doubt in his words. Shan Bin also heard this meaning from the Jin envoy's words. After a moment of hesitation, he finally sighed slightly, opened his mouth to call the guards, and gave some instructions.
..
After a while, the captain who had just retreated came back. When he entered the study, he saw the envoy of Jin standing next to his general. The captain recognized that this person was the distinguished guest of the general who had visited before. In order not to be disrespectful, he said respectfully.
: "See the general, see the distinguished guest!"
After finishing the salute, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was wrong. The general frowned and said nothing, while the distinguished guest looked at him with a smile on his face...
The captain was puzzled and replied that the distinguished guest had something important to do. The general did not trust others and sent him to handle it. He hurriedly saluted the distinguished guest again and said, "Is the guest..."
Before the word "you" was spoken, I saw the figure of the distinguished guest in the room flashing.
With a flower in front of my eyes, I suddenly felt that the scenery in the general's study had changed slightly, as if I was in a desert, and everything in front of me was as illusory as a mirage. Compared with the bitter cold in the north, the heat of the desert in front of me was unbearable.
Just when I was thirsty, the scenery in front of me changed suddenly. I saw a clear spring appearing in front of me. I was overjoyed and wanted to bend down to hold water to quench my thirst. However, I saw a trace of blood red in the crystal clear spring water, like a blooming spring.
Gorgeous flowers, fascinating.
It was at the moment when this red color appeared that the illusory scenery in front of him disappeared instantly and turned back into the general's study. Where did the desert spring come from? It was the coquettish blood-red flower just now. It was the wound on his chest that fell on the ground.
Out of blood.
The captain saw everything clearly, his eyes full of shock. He looked at the bloody short blade in the hand of the distinguished guest in front of him. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't use any force. He could only watch the distinguished guest slowly and slowly with a cruel smile.
Step back.
"Why..." The captain tried his best to ask Shan Bin. He was not afraid of death. As long as Shan Bin gave the order, he would sacrifice his life at any time, even if he didn't ask why.
But the captain didn't want to die in this way for no reason.
No more questions could be asked, and the captain was no longer able to kneel down in the study. However, the tough man did not want to die unexplained. He used his last strength, straightened his back, and stared at the study without daring.
Look directly at your general.
There was clearly a bit of anger and reluctance in those eyes. He glanced at the envoy in front of him. His fists were probably clenched too tightly and had already lost their color...
Lu Can, who was originally retreating, saw the captain's unwilling look and sneered. The short blade in his hand was slightly raised, and he wanted to leave it at that.
The captain's life was cut off, but he had just taken a step when a hand stretched out from beside him held down his knife-wielding hand.
Looking slightly sideways, looking at the general with red eyes beside him, the Jin envoy sneered and said: "Why, the general wants to stop me?"
"This general's brother, I will personally send him on his way." The general's eyes were filled with sparkling eyes, but he just gritted his teeth and persisted.
When the Jin envoy saw this, he sneered, pushed away Shan Bin's hand holding his wrist, turned the handle of the knife in his hand, raised it slightly and said: "General, if you want to do it yourself, then just do it yourself."
Holding the handle of the knife, the general's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He turned to the captain who was holding on for his last breath and staring at him. He slowly walked up to his side, knelt down on one knee, and hugged him, who was already exhausted.
The captain's neck was unable to fall due to his willpower, and he could only look at the captain steadily.
The captain was about to die. He saw the tears falling from his general's eyes, and he felt relieved. Shan Bin's soft words suddenly sounded in his ears... His eyes, which were full of death, suddenly showed a little brilliance, and Shan Bin was reflected in his eyes.
Strong eyes.
Finally understanding the general's thoughts, the captain smiled and closed his eyes, waiting for the final verdict of fate.
"Brother, you have suffered along with your brother in this life. In the next life...my brother will pay you back..."
The sound fell, the sword flashed, and the tears and blood rippled.
The envoy of Jin, who was watching behind him, looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, raised his hands and said with a smile: "The envoy is very satisfied with the general's declaration of fame. A man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Compared with the great future in the future, the general still knows how to choose."
Looking at the lifeless school lieutenant on the ground, Shan Bin stood up slowly, the hatred in his eyes clearly reaching the extreme, but he turned around for a moment, but he put on a flattering look and held the knife in both hands.
Envoy Yu Jin said: "As long as your Majesty is satisfied, it's not just the life of this small school, it's the life of the people all over the city in Yanbei. Shan will not hesitate to do so."
"Okay, since that's the case, we can talk about the Japanese military regulations." The Jin envoy took the short blade full of blood, and the probing in his eyes was slightly less.
"Shan is all ears and listening to the envoy's orders."
——
Yang Huchen looked across the street and saw that the Yanbei soldiers had relaxed a little. His eyes were slightly focused, and he secretly thought that it was the right time. If he could sneak into the Yunlai Inn under the cover of night and meet the Fu brothers, he would naturally be able to stop Shan Bin.
After making up his mind, Yang Huchen didn't wait any longer. He quietly stepped out of the house, followed the wall and kept his footsteps low. When he walked to the alley, he saw that there was no movement on the street. He took advantage of the fact that the soldiers in front of the Yunlai Inn were not there.
Pay attention, bend down and lift your feet for a moment, but you hear a slight noise in the alley behind you.
The guard in his eyes suddenly turned, and he stabilized his body. Hearing the sound coming from behind him, the short knife at his waist was slowly unsheathed...
He turned around and swung his sword in one go. Yang Huchen was confident that even a strong general in the army would not be able to avoid his sword. However, the moment he turned around, someone grabbed his wrist instantly.
Shocked, Yang Huchen was about to kick the person in front of him away, but saw the familiar face of the person who showed a little joy. He was about to speak, but was blocked by the person's eyes.
At the sign of the visitor's eyes, Yang Huchen understood and quietly retreated with the visitor to the previously hidden house. He took down the Lantern Festival lantern hanging in front of the door and then entered the house.
After closing the door, Yang Huchen looked back and said happily to the visitor: "Brother Mu, you're fine."
