"What did you do to him?" When Shi Ye opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear.

No matter how painful he is, he will never let the person in front of him take advantage of his weakness easily.

"The young master is fine at present." The envoy replied. "General Tabalo heard that he is an honored guest who came all the way from the capital, and at the same time the general is very friendly, so he never treated him lightly."

Having said that, the severed hand in the box has already demonstrated the treatment Qing Changsheng is receiving at this moment.

"He is just a military supervisor and knows nothing about marching and fighting. I'm afraid it's worthless for you to capture him."

"That's right, I said why this young master didn't say a word no matter what kind of punishment he suffered." The messenger said with a smile. "I originally thought it was a hard bone, but it turned out that I didn't know anything about military aircraft."

Hearing this, Shi Ye clenched his fists tightly and dug his nails into his flesh before resisting the urge to stab the person in front of him to death immediately.

"What kind of conditions did you come here to negotiate with me today? If you just want to tell me that I have caught an unimportant person, then please go back."

"General Shi is really straightforward, so I will speak directly." The envoy bowed to him again. "General Tabalo knows that a large number of soldiers from Los Angeles are probably on their way. It's just that our army was seriously injured in the battle yesterday, and we can't fight the enemy again for the time being. Therefore, General Tabalo hopes to make a five-day agreement with General Shi. As long as General Shi delays for five days, this young master will definitely return to Zhao, after that, the war or peace will depend on General Shi's will."

"Ridiculous, how do you think I will give up the chance to hurt you because of this person?" Shi Ye sneered.

"Whether this person is insignificant or not, I'm afraid only General Shi himself knows in his heart." The messenger said unhurriedly. "That's all I said. I have conveyed all the words that General Tabalo asked me to pass on to General Shi. I hope General Shi will carefully consider how to make a choice."

After the envoy finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, and when he opened the tent door, Tomono's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Just remember, if something happens to him, I will take Tabalo's head even if I am smashed to pieces."

These words were harsh, but the emissary acted as if he had never heard of it, and the footsteps did not stop, so he just walked away.

After the envoy left, Shi Ye sat in the tent of the Chinese army in a state of confusion, and before he had time to think about what to do, the sound of galloping horses' hoofs outside the tent interrupted his thoughts, and it was Geng Xian who had arrived.

It was night, the lamps and candles in the tents of the Chinese army were brightly lit, Shiye and several captains and lieutenants, as well as the Luo City Lord General Geng Xian, all sat in front of the sand table.

Geng Xian is thirty-five years old this year. He is a tall, dark and strong man. He has been busy all the way, but he didn't feel tired at the moment. He cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Because I was worried about the war here, I rushed here first. There are another hundred thousand The army is still on the way and will arrive in a few days."

"Your Majesty Geng has worked hard." Shi Ye nodded.

"I've sent a message to Beijing that Wenqiu's ambition is to attack at night, which is tantamount to declaring war like the Xia Kingdom. Please issue the order to start the war quickly." Geng Xian stroked his beard. "But the situation is special now. Waiting for the emperor's ruling is to give the Wenqiu thief a chance to recuperate. The so-called military speed is precious. Now that they are severely injured, we should act immediately and capture Jinmeng City."

Jinmeng City was garrisoned by General Tabalo as mentioned by the envoy, and it was the first city leading to Wenqiu.

This proposal was supported by the vast majority of people present, only Tokino remained silent, as if he could not make up his mind.

"Maybe they have a backhand, deliberately pretending to be weak, just waiting for us to fall into the trap." Shi Ye was silent for a long time, and finally said hoarsely. "I think we should be more cautious, wait for a while to make sure..."

He was interrupted by Geng Xian before he finished speaking: "General Xiao, you have always fought bravely, resolutely and swiftly. Why did you suddenly become timid and hesitant at such an important juncture?"

Someone on the side also chimed in: "Yesterday, Wenqiu dog thief's strange armor made our army suffer a lot. If it is widely used, it may be very difficult in the future. It is better to take this opportunity to catch them all directly to avoid long nights and dreams."

Tokino didn't answer, and looked down at the sand table, as if he was falling into some kind of emotion that everyone present couldn't understand. Just like waking up from a dream, he said bitterly: "So, according to what you said, when the army comes, we will march into Jinmeng City."

No one knew that this simple sentence made him feel dizzy for a few times, until he bit the tip of his tongue with blood, and he could barely support himself to finish this sentence.

The Luo City army arrived here early in the morning on the second day, and after some rest, they tentatively planned to attack Jinmeng City at dusk.

Shi Ye was riding on a horse, with the mighty soldiers of the Xia Kingdom behind him. It was supposed to be a high-spirited moment, but he felt that his whole body seemed to be split in two. His body was like a puppet leading the army to continue marching, and his soul But she had already drifted away to his Xiaoqing's side, thinking that even if she died, she would protect him well.

Why is love and righteousness always so difficult to have both.

Tokino had never thought about this issue before, nor had he ever thought that when it happened to him, it would be such a tragic way of making a decision.

Even after a day and a night, Shi Ye didn't think about what to do, he just rode forward numbly, until he saw Jinmeng City not far away, and Qing Changsheng who was tied to the tower.

His hands were tied behind his back, and he was forced to kneel on the ground. Standing beside him was Tabalo, the lord of Jinmeng City, and a soldier holding a sword.

Tokino looked intently, and saw that although Qing Changsheng was dressed in rags, at least there were not many scars on his body. It was probably because Tabalo was afraid that he would torture him to death and he would not seem to explain himself, so he did not continue to torture him. he.

At the same time, Qing Changsheng also saw him, even though he was in a distressed posture and pale face, his eyes looking at Shi Ye through the wind and sand all over the sky were still astonishingly bright as when he first saw him.

When the soldiers approached the city, most of the soldiers also found Qing Changsheng who was detained on the tower. Many of them scattered and stayed under Shi Ye's hands. Naturally, they had seen Qing Changsheng and knew that he had a relationship with General Shi. shallow.

This man has always been gentle and kind, even though he came from a noble family, he never put on airs. Most people have a good impression of him, but he suddenly disappeared a few days ago, and he turned out to be a prisoner of the Wenqiu people.

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Shi Ye.

Tabalo on the tower also shouted to him at this moment: "General Shi, you have to think carefully!"

After speaking, as if he was afraid that Shiye would not see it, he ordered the soldier holding the machete to put the knife on Qing Changsheng's neck.

At this moment, Shi Ye couldn't hear any sound, all the people and things around him seemed to fade away like the tide of the sea, and there was only one person left in his eyes.

His Qing Changsheng, his Xiaoqing.

Tokino hastily clenched the commanding sword at his waist, and tried to lift it up several times, but all ended in failure.

At this moment, he saw Qing Changsheng's lips moving slightly on the tower, as if he was saying something.

Sometimes it is necessary to ambush during a battle, and the two sides can only communicate with mouth movements. Shi Ye even learned how to recognize mouth movements for this purpose, so he can understand everything Qing Changsheng wants to say just by looking at it.

"If we withdraw our troops, you and I will be... cut off from grace and justice."

This is what he wanted to tell Tono.

Shi Ye looked at Qing Changsheng, thinking that his lover was right in front of him, and he could find any reason to retreat to keep him safe, but the thousands of soldiers behind him also had lovers and family members, and they would not hesitate to withdraw. Coming to this barbaric place to stand on fire, climb the ice and lie on the snow, is all to protect my lover to live a safe and smooth life.

He shouldn't and can't be so selfish.

Tokino slowly raised the long sword at his waist with trembling hands.

"Siege!"

With an order, the sound of soldiers resounding across the wilderness was heard. At that time, the sun was slowly setting from the sky, and with the last ray of light shining on the long knife held high by the Venqiu soldier, it flickered for a while. His wild eyes did not let him see what kind of expression Qing Changsheng had in the end.
