Rebirth of the Merry Warrior

Chapter 65 Self-Casting

Long Chenyu and Shen Chengqian pawned a few valuables on their bodies, went to a remote tailor shop and changed into the coarse clothes that Bai Ze people are used to wearing. They also put on bamboo hats and walked carefully on the street.

Bai Ze, compared to Bei Chen, is always much cleaner.Even though the current situation is turbulent, Baize is still a country of elegance with profound ancient heritage.You can't see the hawkers on the street, the flower houses open on the side of the road and so on.Walking along the Qingshiban Road, you can vaguely smell the faint fragrance of ink in this street.If it weren't for the present tense, this would really be a very charming place.

Now every city in Bai Ze has posted arrest warrants for the two of them, and they will be strictly interrogated and patrolled when they leave the city gates.Long Chenyu and Shen Chengqian have stayed here ever since they climbed over the wall and entered Mo County that night.But the two of them didn't dare to stay in the inn. After dark, they slept in a small dense forest in the west of the city.During the day, he came out several times cautiously, while secretly observing the situation of Beichen's army, and at the same time purchasing the fresh water and dry food needed for the day.

After the first day in fear, nothing happened.The people in this city are still living an elegant life, as if they are not disturbed by the war at all.Long Chenyu and Shen Chengqian sat quietly in the teahouse for a long time, hoping to get some valuable clues from the after-dinner conversations of the people of Baize, but in the end, there were none.

After eating tea and rice, Long Chenyu and Shen Chengqian got up and wanted to leave, and went back to the dense forest.

However, before the two of them had paid the money and hadn't stepped out of the inn gate, they suddenly heard a few guests sitting at the door discussing something nervously.One of the younger ones said: "This morning, I saw a big platform was built in the city, and there are many more prison cars nearby. What's going to happen?"

Another older one replied: "What happened? Was it because of the war? Prime Minister Yan offered a plan to lure Beichen deep and kill him later. Now Beichen's army is destroyed, but the two generals who led the army have escaped." You can't help but use the captives as bait to lure them into the trap."

The young man asked again: "How to use bait to lure people?"

The older man said again: "I'm afraid you didn't go to the gate of the city to read the notice this morning. It was sent out urgently by the county magistrates this morning under the order of Prime Minister Yan. Today, we will build a platform in the city, and for the next three days, day and night on the high platform Go up and whip the captives until the two come out. If the two come out, after three days all the captives will be beheaded in the city."

"Is this a way of facial appearance? It's really cruel."

"Oh, it's not like you don't know what kind of person he looks like today." The older man lowered his voice. "Today's appearance is comparable to that of Cao Cao in those days. He ruled the country with the emperor, and all the ministers were greedy for life. No one dared to rebel. But I don't think it is a long-term strategy to use the right face. One day..." Afterwards, the voice was as thin as a mosquito, The two can no longer hear.

Then the young man asked again: "If that's the case, what if the heads of those soldiers fall to the ground three days later, and the two of them still don't come out?"

The elder said: "I think that since those two are the generals who lead the army, they are probably people who love soldiers like sons, not to mention that Prime Minister Yan has written in the notice that he will treat each other well and will not kill those two... However, it’s not easy for you and me to talk about this kind of thing, it’s just that those soldiers who were whipped suffered.”

At this point in the conversation, the tea and rice are served, and the people at the table start to eat and drink, and don't talk about other things.

Long Chenyu put one arm around Shen Chengqian's waist, and carried him out together.

In the alley, Shen Chengqian took off his bamboo hat and bowed his head in silence.

Long Chenyu knew what was on his mind, so he said in a deep voice: "That Yan Moran is really a cruel person, he used this method to lure us into a trap, he didn't need a single soldier, he is really smart."

Shen Cheng looked up at him and said, "Then general, what are you and I going to do now?"

Long Chenyu was silent for a moment, looked down at him and said: "Chengqian, you have to know that even if you and I throw ourselves into the trap, with Yan Moran's temperament, he may not really treat you and me well, and he may not really treat you well." The captured soldiers were released. The benefits he promised were just a cover. Maybe we just went to surrender, and there were two guillotines waiting for us there." He paused, and then said: "I It doesn't matter, I'm a martial artist, I don't know how many times I went to the gate of hell, but I don't want you to end up like me in the end."

Shen Cheng smiled shyly and said: "The general and I have gone through life and death, turbulent winds and waves, and at the last moment, you actually want to abandon me?"

Long Chenyu replied with a slight smile: "If the final result is for you to die with me, then it's okay to abandon you."

"I'm not afraid." Shen Cheng raised his head, his eyes were full of spring water, shining brightly like stars. "Whether it's life or death, I just hope to be with the general. In this life, in this life, and in eternity, hold my hand and never be separated again."

Long Chenyu smiled comfortingly, lowered his head, and kissed him deeply.

The two of them had kissed many times, but nothing like this one.In the alley, the air was humid and slightly cool, but this kiss was so hot, on the lips, it burned their hearts like iron.Shen Chengqian could almost see the bright light flashing in front of his eyes. Even though he was in a desperate situation and had nowhere to go, he never felt so happy.

The two of them should not be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, if they can die in the same year, the same month and the same day, it would be very good.

What's more, Yan Moran thinks he is smart, but Shen Chengqian and Long Chenyu each have the last card in their hands, waiting for the end of the road, a plan to kill.

Outside the alley, the crowd suddenly gathered towards the center of the city, and the surroundings gradually became noisy.

Long Chenyu and Shen Chengqian put on their fighting hats, followed the flow of people towards the center of the city.

At this time, eighty pillars had been erected in the center of the city, and a soldier was tied to each pillar.A dozen executioners holding iron whips stood beside them, waiting for the execution to start at noon.

At this moment, there is still an hour before noon.

Now that Shen Chengqian has made up his mind, he doesn't care much, and directly lifts the veil of the bamboo hat and looks at the stage.Suddenly, he met eyes with one of the soldiers.When the soldier saw him, he was shocked for a moment, thinking he must have recognized him.

If the soldier reported it to the executioner, it would be a great achievement, and maybe the whipping sentence would be exempted.

However, the soldier did not.

His eyes collided with Shen Chengqian lightly, and they were quickly staggered.After him, a few more soldiers seemed to have spotted Shen Chengqian in the crowd, but no one pointed it out.They would rather suffer from three days of whipping than betray their generals at such a critical moment.

Shen Chengqian only sighed in his heart, they are all good men with such a heroic temperament.

No wonder it was so, these were elite soldiers trained by Long Chenyu day and night.

He suddenly felt a little sour in his heart, as if he hadn't felt this way for a long time.The hotness in his heart encouraged Shen Chengqian to take that step forward.

Behind him, Long Chenyu gently held his hand.

Shen Chengqian lowered his head and smiled, only feeling his heart warmer.

Now, he has nothing to fear.

At the same time, in the Xiangfu.

Yan Moran was standing on the small bridge, looking down at a pair of mandarin ducks hiding under the lotus leaves.The deputy general suddenly knelt over and said softly: "Prime Minister, Long Chenyu and Shen Chengqian have already surrendered themselves."

Yan Moran nodded slightly, and looked up at the sky.

It's not until noon.

He smiled and said to the lieutenant general: "Since this is the case, I will keep my promise, treat them well, and spare the lives of those prisoners. You put Long and Shen in death row, and remember not to be with Mo Yu." Lock them in one place and separate them. Don’t use torture for now, I’ll go and see them myself in a while.”

"Your subordinate takes orders. Does the prime minister have any other orders?"

"En." Yan Moran said. "Go and ask the butler to prepare a carriage for me."

When walking down the stairs of the death row, Yan Moran smiled slightly, this was the third time he had been here in the past few days.

The deputy general worked meticulously and locked Long Chenyu and Shen Chengqian in a stone room on the easternmost side of the death row.After getting down the stairs, Yan Moran stood there for a while, and finally walked west to see Mo Yu.

He was really looking forward to what a loyal person like Mo Yu would look like now that he knew that all his generals had been captured.

After Mo Yu contracted a fever that day, the imperial physician in the palace hanged him for a day with the potion of tiger and wolf, which finally saved his life.At this moment, Mo Yu's face also had a faint peach blossom color due to the hot and dry properties of the medicine.But compared to the previous days, it was much better.

Yan Moran entered the cell, still sitting on the edge of the stone bed.

He stared into Mo Yu's eyes, and said softly, "Now Master Shen and General Long are also in my hands."

Mo Yu smirked slightly, and said, "That's good. Isn't this what the Prime Minister has always wanted? What's the next step for the Prime Minister? Are you going to join forces with Yun Rong to attack Beichen?"

Yan Moran shook his head lightly, and said: "No, Beichen is still strong now, maybe I will use the strategy of asking for help to attract Beichen's army. After the army is wiped out, Beichen's strength will be further weakened, and then I will adjust according to the situation. Decided whether to send troops to the north to attack you Beichen."

With a pale face, Mo Yu smiled lightly.After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked again: "Are you going to torture the general and the military adviser right away?"

Yan Moran said: "I caught them, most likely because I didn't want them to go back to report the news, and also to inquire about the deployment of Beichen's troops. If they answered easily, none of those irons, splints, and whips would be used on them." With a smile, he said: "If they don't cooperate, it will be hard to say."

Mo Yu sneered, and turned around not to look at him.Because of the bigger movements, the blanket covering his body slipped off and fell to the ground.

Yan Moran stepped in front of Mo Yu and bent over to pick it up.

He didn't wear court clothes today, only a plain white gown, tied loosely around his body.With this bending, the neckline immediately opened up, revealing a large area of ​​spring on the chest.

Mo Yu subconsciously stared at him.

However, he never saw a piece of white and flawless delicate skin as he imagined.

He saw that Yan Moran's chest was covered with scars from burns, knife wounds, sword wounds, and whip wounds.The dark red scars were densely covered on the flawless body that should have been white jade, which looked particularly frightening.
