Not to mention Li Yi tossing and turning in bed the whole night, it was hard to decide whether he really surrendered or not. Since they couldn't leave the city, they could only step on the terrain of the city except for the " military management restricted area." What if it came in handy in the future?
Meanwhile, Zhang Feng and Yu Ai were both waiting. The only difference was that Zhang Feng was waiting for news from the Yellow Turban camp, while Yu Ai was waiting for the signal from Bai Rao. Two days had passed, and not even a fly had flown out of Zhang Village.
Zhang Feng's spy had already completed his task. According to the information, Bai Rao, one of the three canal marshals, hadn't shown his face for three days. According to the description of his appearance, this 'Li Yi' was most likely Bai Rao himself.
Sui Gu couldn't get any news about Bai Rao, so he was even more anxious. He didn't know if he had been trapped or had already defected to the enemy. His two big eyes were almost hanging out.
"Yu Shuai, do you think this Bai brat will sell us out?”Sui Gu asked anxiously.
"I don't think so. Most of his men are still in the camp. If he really changed sides…the two hundred men he brought with him won't be able to gain anything. My analysis is that Zhang Village is heavily guarded, or he was imprisoned by someone else, so the news couldn't be sent back.”Yu Ai stroked the few strands of yellow hair on his head and said in a dark voice.
"Then what should we do? I can't just sit here and wait. I haven't gone out for a few days and I'm already complaining.”
"Let's wait a little longer. If there's still no news tomorrow night…we'll have to use force.”
After knowing Li Yi's identity, Zhang Feng was also thinking of countermeasures.
"What's there to discuss? In my opinion, we should just cut those thieves down with a knife.”Although Huang Xu was Huang Zhong's biological son, in Zhang Feng's eyes, it was more like the fiery temper of Zhang Fei, who he had met before but had been famous for a long time.
Could it be that when she was born, she was in the same delivery room, and the nurse had carried her into the wrong room? Oh, it should be called a midwife.
This time, Huang Zhong agreed with his opinion, although he was very dissatisfied with his occasional swearing.
Other than Wenpin who did not say anything, everyone unanimously agreed to kill this hidden scourge.
"Zhongye, tell me your thoughts."
Wen Pin cupped his hands and said,"My Lord, I was thinking that since this Bai Rao wants to trick us, why can't we trick them once?"”
Zhang Feng sat on the main seat. Every move he made had a domineering aura."Continue!"
" Why don't we use these people to spread some fake news? When the time comes…" Wenpin made a grabbing gesture with both hands.
Everyone was silent. This idea was obviously better than directly killing Bai Rao and the others. But why couldn't he think of it?
"How about this, let's test this Bai Rao first and see what happens. We've already left him hanging for two days. If we don't see him now, we might be suspected. Someone, bring Li Yi over and say that you want to reward him.”
When Li Yi received the notice that Zhang Feng wanted to see him, his intuition told him that he had to make a decision. Otherwise…the consequences would be hard to predict.
With an uneasy and conflicted heart, Li Yi followed the messenger out of Zhang Village and into Puyang City. The difference from last time was that he was not going to the government office, but to Zhang Feng's house.
The current Zhang Mansion was no longer what it was a few years ago. Other than the carved beams and painted buildings, the small bridge and flowing water, the red flowers and green grass, it looked more like a strong fortress.
The two pillars at the entrance were as thick as three Li Yi's waists, and there were four soldiers standing on both sides with their sabers pressed against them. They did not restrain their killing intent, and their faces were gloomy. Ordinary people would tremble when they saw them. Although Li Yi had seen such a scene before, his heart was still pounding.
Especially the strange armor of those soldiers, which made Li Yi even more shocked. At that time, even the regular soldiers could only wear leather armor that covered a part of their chest. Only the generals had iron armor. The eight soldiers were wearing cold armors from head to toe. Only a small part of their faces was exposed. There was a four-shaped movable plate on their helmets that could be turned up and down. When they put it down, it could completely protect their eyes from external damage. If they gave Sui Gu such a helmet, they would not have to worry about his big eyeballs falling out, Li Yi thought.
With the messenger leading the way, Li Yi was able to enter this creepy place. The eight people didn't even look at him. There was a wall behind the door. There was a row of palm-sized holes in the wall. Li Yi could clearly hear the faint breathing sound coming from the holes. He did not hesitate. If someone rushed in from the front, even if they could get in under the hands of the eight robot-like soldiers at the door, it was very likely that they would die under the wall. Who knew what kind of terrifying attack would come from the hole? Maybe it was a poisonous arrow, maybe it was a gun, or maybe it was a strong arm that stretched out and strangled the person to death.
Li Yi imagined how he would have died if he had barged in while he followed the messenger with cold sweat. Along the way, Li Yi always felt that there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at his back. As long as he did something that was beyond their imagination…Li Yi wondered if anyone would recognize him after he died. This was once a person.
When Li Yi finally saw Zhang Feng, he was already sweating profusely. If he beat him to death, he would never enter this damn place again.
"Sinner Li Yi greets Lord Zhang!”Li Yi knelt down without hesitation. He didn't feel wronged or at a disadvantage.
Other than Zhang Feng, Er Huang, Wang, Wen, and the others were all present, except for those who were nominally court officials.
"Warrior Li, please get up quickly. I wonder if your subordinates have taken care of you in the past two days?”Zhang Feng asked with a warm expression, like the spring in March, warming one's heart. If it wasn't for the fact that he had just walked through the gates of hell, Li Yi would never have been able to accept that this youth, who was becoming more and more terrifying in his heart, was the one who had opened his eyes these few days.
"Thank you, Milord. This Li has been eating well and sleeping soundly for the past few days.”
"Hehe, that's good. Come, come, come, take a seat. Someone, serve tea!"
Behind the screen, Li 'er, who was wearing plain makeup, slowly walked forward. Her eyelids were lowered, and her long eyelashes were like a small brush, brushing Li Yi's heart. It made his bones soft, his saliva flowing, and his eyes shining.
Her eyebrows were raised, her cherry lips were red, her nose was tall, and her small lips were pouted. Did the beauty have something on her mind? Or is your heart already moved? Her delicate and weak body was wrapped in a fine silk brocade, and the curves that made people want to look at her stretched from her fair and tender neck to her slightly insufficient chest, then to her flat abdomen, and then to her beautiful legs…Who knew what kind of small feet were in those embroidered shoes that only revealed a little bit of yellow satin?
"Hero, please have some tea!" Li Yi opened his mouth slightly, and that heavenly voice immediately made Li Yi's soul fly away. If he didn't remember that this was Zhang Feng's territory, he would have panted heavily and pounced on this beautiful woman in front of him. All the women he had seen since he was young couldn't compare to a little finger of hers, and then let her have a good time on him...
Li Yi's ugly behavior made Zhang Feng, who was watching coldly from the side, secretly make a decision. The peasant army was the peasant army. Why did most of the peasant uprisings in history end in failure? Other than Zhu Yuanzhang, there were few who succeeded? It was mentioned in the history textbooks in junior high school that because of the 'limitations and narrowness' of the peasant class, they only cared about themselves and did not have a long-term vision. When they obtained power and wealth that they had never had before, they turned from a pitiful oppressed person into a ruthless character who was more powerful than a landlord and more ferocious than a jackal. They stopped making progress and only thought of ways to enjoy themselves, as if to make up for what they had lost before.
At least, the peasants of the Celestial Empire were like this. Before the uprising, they would submit to adversity. As long as they were alive, they could endure anything. If they tasted the sweetness of violence…they would be more ferocious than the wolves on the prairie.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." This was the reason.
