"Report! Yang Fengjun once again declared that if he did not see Lord Zhu within three days, he would behead half of the captives.”The next morning, the messenger's voice broke the silence. This time, the messenger had learned his lesson. He didn't stutter anymore and spoke in one breath.
The city that was about to go to war would not be lively even during the day. People would only hide in their closed houses as if they were hiding from the darkness.
"Three days, half. How despicable. He even wanted to keep half of them as hostages so that we wouldn't dare to act rashly.”Zhu Rong said disdainfully, although he still looked like that energetic old man. However, everyone could see the fatigue in his body.
Lin Chu didn't waste any time and nodded. He said,"General, you can tell the bandits to let the people go. Leave it to them. If I force you to die, who will know? Will the Moth Thieves betray us? After that, the moth thief must be afraid of hiding, and asked to tell the place name two days later.”
On the other side, Zhang Yan said,"Celestial Master, please take a look at the letter Zhu Xi wrote."”，It seemed that the highest authority of the Yellow Turban was still Sun En, the fake Zhang Jiao. "General Han, Military Advisor Wu, please take a look.”Sun En only skimmed through the letter once before handing it over to the two of them.
Han Ci took the letter and read it carefully. Years of running had taught him to be extremely cautious. "Come, tell the soldiers. We will decide where to hand it over." Wu Yongze did not even look at the contents and directly ordered.
"Ahehehe, Great Military Advisor Wu is really amazing. You know the contents of the letter without even reading it.”Han Ci said.
Wu Yongze swore as if he had seen through everything. He continued to analyze," The purpose of the government army is nothing more than to let us choose a location. From the location we choose, we can roughly determine the location of the prisoners according to the speed of the march, the terrain, and other factors. Then, we can investigate and rescue them. In that case, we'll do as he pleases."
Zhu Rong, a veteran general who had fought for many years, naturally understood. However, due to his absolute trust in Lin Chu, he chose not to say anything. However, after Jing Wei said that, he also looked at Lin Chu in confusion.
"General, we can set off first. He stayed in Yewang County, so no one knew his whereabouts. I also led a subordinate department and temporarily lived in the countryside. Two days later, the moth thief will tell you where to make the handover. You can go and attract attention. As for his subordinates, they led the troops to rescue him that night. However, after saving the people, they had to be on guard to prevent the Yellow Turban spies from being mixed in.”Lin Chu planned.
Hearing this, Zhu Xiong couldn't help but shout,""Good! What a brilliant plan! As expected of Military Advisor Lin!" This righteous old man had been worried sick because he could save thousands of lives that were unrelated to him. At this moment, he hugged Lin Chu excitedly and turned to hug Jing Wei. Jing Wei was still a little stunned by this hug. The last time was during the college entrance examination, when she ignored the heavy hug from her form teacher.
The plan was perfect, at least Jing Wei couldn't see any flaws. "Then I will ask Governor Liu to lead the troops to protect the tens of thousands of people in Hanoi.”Lin Chu said to Jing Wei. Jing Wei naturally accepted such an indisputable order.
Thus, the troops began to move out under the leadership of their respective leaders. "Mr. Chen, do you recognize Yang Xiu? Do you know about Yang Xiu's death?" After the meeting ended, everyone dispersed. Before they dispersed, Lin Chu intentionally came to Jing Wei's side and said this. It was confusing.
"Divisions One to Five, follow me!" Following Zhu Rong's order, five thousand people followed behind him in an orderly manner.
"The pillars of the Great Han Dynasty! How many people of the Great Han Dynasty had been saved by this man alone!”Pang De sighed beside Jing Wei. For a native like Pang De, Zhu Rong's existence was like a ray of light. However, in the era of talented people, the light of the Vermilion Bird shone on the abyss of the sea, leaving only darkness behind.
"What he thinks of is the millions of people and the Great Han Dynasty. Just like you, my lord." Wen Pin, who was at the side, also sighed. Shi Wanbao remained silent. Perhaps in his eyes, Jing Wei was the darkness beside Zhu Rong.
"Military Advisor, why don't you rest in such a heavy rain?”Xu Huang asked. "No, this rainy day is the best time to investigate the enemy's situation. Xu Huang, you stay here and guard. I'll bring the troops to investigate." Lin Chu replied. The rain was pouring down, and Lin Chu and his group could no longer be seen.
A young farmer was working hard to water, kill insects, and apply fertilizer to an old tree…sunrise sun rose and set, and spring passed and winter came. The farmer's sweat accumulated into a lake, and the young him was finally covered in wrinkles. His tall and straight body also hunched over.
This was Zhu Rong's dream, but he was startled by the shouts of killing. With his rich experience, he quickly grabbed the sword by the bedside. In the next second, a thin masked man broke through the window of an old house and pointed his sharp sword at Zhu Rong.
That familiar sword technique and figure made Zhu Xiong a little dazed. He hurriedly raised his sword to block. As they clashed, the sword Qi left a deep scar on Zhu Rong's old face. The masked man didn't hesitate and continued to charge at Zhu Xiong's vital points. Every move was so deadly and familiar. "Who are you?" Zhu Xiong shouted angrily as he resisted. Of course, he didn't get an answer…
Zhu Rong seemed to see another group of people around the old tree. They all laughed at the old farmer's stupidity.
The masked man saw that every move and every sword was blocked, so he simply lowered his body and swung his sword horizontally as he rushed up. Zhu Xiong held his sword with both hands to block the impact, but in the end, he was knocked out of the door due to his old body and insufficient strength. The swaying old wooden door fell to the ground with a loud bang.
It was raining heavily in the sky, and the ground was covered in rainwater mixed with blood. The rain had drenched Zhu Xi, and it was impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears on her wet face. The two sides were so familiar with each other, even if the other party was wearing ragged clothes and had their faces covered. But Zhu Rong could still feel that those were his good sons!
While he was stunned, the masked man's sword cut through the rain. The aged Zhu Xi was unable to block in time and could only dodge sideways. His waist was injured by the sword, and the blood that splattered out also fused with the rain.
"General, be careful!" The three soldiers shouted at the same time and rushed forward. However, he was instantly killed by the masked man. Seeing three soldiers, or rather, three of his good children, die tragically in front of him, Zhu Rong was furious and roared,""Why? Aren't they your brothers?”Zhu Xiong's heart felt like it was bleeding. He raised his long sword high in anger and slashed down with the most powerful sword strike of his life.
The aggressive masked man was caught off guard by this sudden attack. His body dived down, and he used his sword to block the attack before falling to the ground. He was covered in rain, mud, and blood.
"Why?" Zhu Rong asked again, but he couldn't get an answer. Just as he was about to step forward, he was surrounded by four people. Without asking any more questions, the two masked men who took the lead were instantly killed. One of the masked men behind him had his veil torn by the sword qi, revealing a familiar face.
Zhu Xiong's sword hesitated. He couldn't accept this fact. In that moment of hesitation, two masked men pierced through Zhu Xiong's body. The leader of the masked men also stood up in time and rushed forward, stabbing his sword through his heart. It seemed that these masked men did not hesitate at all.
A thunderclap tore through the sky like a roar.
The old tree finally fell. However, he was not a parasite that the old farmer hated. Instead, he fell under the axe of a human like the old farmer. Those people held sinful axes and laughed at the old farmers while mercilessly cutting down the old trees.
The old tree finally fell, and no one was willing to taste the bitter fruit. They were trampled on wantonly. However, people seemed to have forgotten that these fruits were once sweet and fed the people who cut them down.
Lin Chu stood on the high ground and looked up at the sky. The heavy rain drenched his body. "Did you succeed?" Lin Chu asked. "It's done." Zhao Li and Lin Chu were having a simple conversation.
Whoosh, whoosh... The rain seemed to not stop, slapping everything and making annoying sounds.
"We can't see the stars in this weather.”Lin Chu looked at the sky and sighed.
