"You are a member of the bandit army. You must know the news about Zhu Ni. As long as you surrender to the prince and confess everything to the prince... the prince is kind and will definitely forgive you!"
Hearing Huang Tianyan keep saying the word "Prince", Zhang Ziming felt it was particularly harsh.
"Is this your method? You want me to surrender. Do you think I'm afraid of death?" Zhang Ziming sneered.
If Huang Tianyan hadn't missed the old relationship, Zhang Ziming's current attitude would have prevented him from continuing to talk.
Huang Tianyan asked with a gloomy face: "Why are you following the rebels in rebellion?"
"In order to overthrow the corrupt Jin court, in order that the people of the world will no longer suffer, for fairness and justice!" Zhang Ziming blurted out.
It's a pity that Zhu Jinzhang didn't let him see this, so now he is heartbroken, and death is a kind of relief for him.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Hearing Huang Tianyan ask this, an angry look appeared on Zhang Ziming's face. That was indeed his true thought.
"Could there still be fake ones?" Zhang Ziming asked back.
"Since it's true, then why don't you submit to the prince?"
Under Zhang Ziming's angry gaze, Huang Tianyan continued: "Under the rule of the prince, the officials will be clean and honest, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't this what you want?"
"How can you, a mere commander-in-chief, understand the thoughts of Prince Yong? Can you see through the officials of Prince Yong's Mansion?" Zhang Ziming sneered.
"I have eyes, how can I not see clearly?" Huang Tianyan looked sullen.
"Under the rule of the prince, the people can have enough food and clothing as long as they are not lazy. Any official who harms the interests of the people, regardless of civil or military status, will be severely punished!"
"Moreover, even if he goes north to attack the traitor Zhu Jinzhang, the prince is doing it to save the people!"
"You wouldn't know that while the prince was heading north, he also sent people to attack south to rescue the trapped people!"
"You also don't know how sacred the prince is and what a sage he is!"
"The prince is favored by heaven and is the wise master we should follow. If you can serve as a pawn under the prince, you are lucky!"
Huang Tianyan was like a devout believer at this moment, as if Zhao Yanxun was really a living saint.
Huang Tianyan was born a bandit, so for him to say these words at least shows that Zhao Yanxun is indeed an extraordinary person.
Under Huang Tianyan's influence, Zhang Ziming now had a glimmer of hope for Zhao Yanxun.
But when he thought about his identity, Zhang Ziming felt sad. What's more, he still had pride and would not easily surrender to the "enemy" at this moment.
"Stop talking, I just want to die!" Zhang Ziming sighed.
Then he closed his eyes, but he had no intention of communicating with Huang Tianyan again.
Huang Tianyan was so angry that he stepped forward, took out half a steamed bun from his arms, and stuffed it directly into Zhang Ziming's mouth.
Under Zhang Ziming's stunned gaze, Huang Tianyan turned around and left.
Time gradually passed, and another group of people came to the camp, all of them holding tools.
These people are craftsmen from Yuanyang.
After resting for half an hour, these craftsmen got busy making tools for siege.
Some wood has been prepared, but the soldiers are not idle, and the wood will be shipped in batches.
"Listen up, I'll go help move things later, and I'll eat some steamed buns in the evening!" the commander-in-chief in charge of the defense instructed the young men present.
"yes!"
The young men nodded repeatedly. Of course they were willing to exchange their strength for food. This was something that didn't require much thought.
This is in the army. These people have to consume zombies, so naturally they cannot be allowed to eat for nothing.
Zhang Ziming saw all this, which made him feel mixed emotions.
Under Zhu Jinzhang's rule, ordinary people could eat white flour steamed buns, which was a situation that was simply unimaginable.
But unfortunately, these people had it at noon today, and they could also eat it at night.
Maybe what Huang Tianyan said is true... Zhang Ziming thought.
At this moment, two soldiers walked up to him and freed him from the stake.
"The prince wants to see you!" one of them said coldly.
When King Yong wanted to see him, Zhang Ziming was extremely surprised. The key to the problem was the word "meet", which represented a lot of attitudes.
Under the escort of the soldiers, Zhang Ziming rushed to the center of the camp, passing by the temporary workshop area along the way.
The craftsmen were busy, and the people who were taken from Xingyuan were also busy, but everything seemed in order.
"Stop looking and leave quickly..."
After turning left and right inside the camp for nearly a hundred meters, Zhang Ziming was escorted outside a tent.
The standards of this tent were much higher than others, and it was obviously where Zhao Yanxun stayed.
"Come in!"
Just let yourself in like this? Aren't you afraid that you will suddenly use your sword to kill His Highness King Yong?
If Zhang Ziming's thoughts were known to people who were familiar with Zhao Yanxun, they would definitely laugh out loud.
He alone wanted to harm His Highness King Yong, which was simply overestimating his own capabilities.
Lifting up the tent curtain, you can have a panoramic view of what's going on inside.
I saw a young man sitting on a chair and reading the military newspaper.
Is this King Yong? Zhang Ziming is full of curiosity.
He has lived for so long in his life, but this is the first time he has seen the royal family.
The first time I saw him, only one word came to Zhang Ziming's mind... extraordinary.
"Your good brother risked his life to come to see you and said that you have repented..."
"Is that true?" Zhao Yanxun raised his head and asked.
Locked with Zhao Yanxun's gaze, Zhang Ziming suddenly felt that all his secrets had been seen through.
"He is him and I am me. I don't need him to intercede for my life or death!" Zhang Ziming's tone was cold.
But Zhao Yanxun put down the situation report in his hand and said calmly: "You are really not a friend enough when you say this. It seems that Huang Tianyan is blind!"
Zhang Ziming wanted to continue to reply, but at this moment he was speechless.
"Huang Tianyan said that you are a talent, he also talked about your family affairs, and told me that you just took the wrong path..."
Zhao Yanxun sighed: "Having such a friend who thinks about you wholeheartedly, you will not suffer any loss in your life!"
"The traitor Zhu Jinzhang harmed the people and acted perversely. If you really think about the people, you would take the initiative to explain the situation in Liaoping City to avoid more military and civilian casualties!"
Zhang Ziming had already witnessed Zhu Jinzhang's cruelty to the people in Xingyuan, and he really couldn't accept it.
But asking him to help Zhao Yanxun first is a difficult choice.
"In two or three days, our army will attack the city. During this time, you should think carefully about whether you want to destroy all life in Liaoping City!"
"When the two armies fight, the destruction of life is inevitable!" Zhang Ziming said.
Zhao Yanxun explained: "Although people will die, as long as Zhu Jinzhang is defeated as soon as possible, many fewer people will die!"
This is indeed the truth, but it is still very difficult for Zhang Ziming to make a decision.
Zhao Yanxun would not wait for him, but said calmly: "If there is nothing else, you can retreat!"
Retired? Does this mean he has resigned? Will King Yong not kill him?
In fact, this reason is easy to explain. As a member of the Qianhu of the Ming army, Zhang Ziming has the value of instigating rebellion, so he can survive.
