(Thank you again for your rewards, thank you for Fu Xinghen and Xiaoyaofei's monthly ticket support, thank you. There are still many essences, don't waste it.)
Chapter 700 Inter-Conference in Xiangyang (I)
Because the weather was still a bit stuffy, the curtains of the military tent were half open, and the night wind blew in from outside the door, and the lights in the military tent shaking, dragging the shadow of the man in the black robe in the tent back and forth. It seemed that he was like a homeless lonely ghost.
On the chair not far from the black-robed man, Han Shie, the marshal of the Qin King's army, sat there, holding a wine glass in his hand, raised his head and looked at the black-robed man couldn't help but shake his head.
"Are you ridiculing me?"
The man in black robe turned around and looked at Han Shie and asked.
"I have always heard that the people in the Yanyun Army Military Archives are all loyalists of King Li Xian of Yan... When the Military Archives were called the Flying Tiger Fifth Division, it seemed that several large-scale heads were the old people who had followed Li Xian first. Except for Ye Huaixue and Leng Yi, it seemed that the other three were Li Xian following him when he established Yanyun Village on Yanshan Mountain."
"I'm just curious. Since you are a loyal person... why are you afraid of death?"
When the man in black robe heard Han Shi'e's question, he smiled coldly and slowly pulled down the hat of the black robe. The lights swayed, and the atmosphere in the room was cold as soon as the face was exposed. Those who did not see this face would absolutely not imagine the horror and disgust of this face.
After pulling off the hat, the man in black robe did not stop moving, but flashed off his robe, revealing his naked upper body. Compared to his face, his upper body made people afraid to look directly.
A piece of flesh was missing on his left half of his face, as if a piece of his cheekbones was bitten by a beast. There were seven holes on his right face, which had scars. The lower lips were spread straight down from the middle. Although they had been stitched, the centipede-like scar could still be seen.
If the injuries on his face make people vomit after seeing it, then the injuries on his upper body are even more unbearable.
There are at least thirty or forty injuries on the chest alone. The most ferocious one is that a large piece of meat was cut off at the heart position. The person who took the knife should be a veteran. The cut off meat did not reveal the bones or hurt the heart. However, the remaining layer of meat was too little. When the heart beats, you can even see the gap trembling with it.
"I carried it for six days and I thought I would die."
The man in black robe pointed to his heart, and he placed his finger in the flesh pit, touching the wound that had not yet been completely healed. His face twitched in pain.
"The Military Audit Office is indeed serving the King of Yan alone. The existence of the Military Audit Office is because of the King of Yan's needs. The slogan of the Military Audit Office is also the purpose of everything for the King of Yan. I can say without any pretentiousness that there are many people under the heroes in the world who are not afraid of death, but there are definitely not many in the Military Audit Office!"
"I don't know others... but I know myself. If I could commit suicide, I would commit suicide the first day after I was betrayed by you. If I could die as soon as possible, I would never delay for six days and survive. Those who can withstand the severe punishment for six days will probably not be too long. I don't need to be ashamed of anything because of your words."
"You don't have to ridicule me, nor do you have to look proud... Han Shi'e, I don't doubt at all. If you were me, you might have surrendered on the first day, or you would have been scared to death by your own appearance as a person who is not human or ghost for six days. You are a nobleman, your father was a hero of the Great Sui Dynasty, and you have been in a wealthy manner since you were young, so how could you suffer? "
"I was hit seventy-three times on my face, at least one hundred and sixty times on my body... What qualifications do you have to mock me for rebelling? You must know that you have been a rebel from beginning to end. As a minister of the Sui Dynasty, you have rebelled. Your Highness, King Yan saved you and sent you to the King of Qin. Your agreement with King Yan has been thrown into the stinky ditch by you, and you have rebelled again... Who knows, will you rebel against King of Qin in the future?"
Han Shie smiled and said, "I admit that you are indeed very backbone. I just have to be surprised and shocked. After you couldn't stand the punishment and chose to surrender, you would have chosen to attack your comrades so decisively. Speaking of which, you are more cruel than me."
He paused and said, "It's true that King Yan has saved me... But in this world, if there are still people who want to repay others for their whole life because of their save me, then there is no doubt that this person is an idiot and will die ugly."
He pointed to the man in black robe in front of him and said, "You are the third largest player in the Military Archives Office. You have done a lot of things for King Li Xian of Yan, but now you are backfiring. Do you think he will spare you if you fall into Li Xian's hands?"
The man in black robe smiled and looked particularly ferocious: "I'm just decisive to my comrades. Thank you for using these four words instead of being ruthless. Since I have turned against you, do you still have to pretend to be false benevolence and righteousness? If you turn against you, you will be in a new position to do things. Also... I will never fall into the hands of the King of Yan. It would be enough to be captured by the enemy once. I will not allow myself to make a second mistake."
He sat down on the chair and said slowly: "No one is truly not afraid of death, and no one can stand up to death."
"It's you!"
He pointed at Han Shi'e and said, "Why did you betray the King of Yan?"
Han Shie laughed and said, "How can I betrayal? When I promised to come to the King of Qin, I was just working with King of Yan. Since it was just a cooperation, why should I be loyal to him? The King of Yan is not short of civil servants and military generals, and some are people with great military achievements. What if I help him get rid of King of Qin at the most critical moment? Can my contributions still surpass Xu Shiji? Can I surpass Yu Wenshi? Can I surpass Qin Qiong? Majestic and vast sea?"
"Under the King of Yan, I am just one of many meritorious ministers. If the King of Qin accomplishes great achievements, I will be the only one."
He drank the tea in the cup and said, "Li Piaofeng, if it were you, what would you choose?"
The man in black robe picked the corner of his mouth and sneered, "You don't have to say these words. Now I end up in this situation and look like this is thanks to you. If I have the chance, I will definitely kill you."
"You can only blame King Yan. He sent you to contact me. Now the movements of the Qin King's army can no longer be controlled by King Yan Li Xian, so I can only pull you out. Don't mention hatred, the most valuable thing in this world is hatred, because everyone in the world has hatred in their hearts... If you have killed so many comrades, how do they calculate their hatred?"
...
...
The lights in the tent were still swaying, but there was silence between Han Shi'e and Li Piaofeng.
The man in black robe was named Li Piaofeng. He was once a third-end head of the Flying Tiger Fifth Division, and was a veteran figure in the Military Academy. When the Flying Tiger Fifth Division was first established, the big head was Ye Huaixu, the second-end head was Dugu Ruizhi, the third-end head was Li Piaofeng, the fourth-end head was Qiu Yu, and the fifth-end head was Leng Yi.
He was the old man who followed Li Xian to establish Yanyun Village in Yanshan, and was the best among the more than a thousand people rescued by Li Xian from Juyeze.
After Yang Xuangan rebelled, Han Shie was defeated by Chen Len and disappeared. After disappearing for a long time, he was found by the people from the Flying Tiger Five Division. At that time, it was Li Piaofeng who was responsible for contacting him. Later, thanking Li Xian for saving his life, Han Shie promised Li Xian to come to Li Shimin and fight back at the most critical moment. But not all calculations will be smooth as if they were natural. You should know that the most unreliable thing in this world is the human heart.
The two of them were silent for a long time, but in the end, Han Shi'e couldn't help but speak first: "No matter what, you look like now because of me. I will save you once in the future. I don't owe you anything, just to be more at ease in my heart... You must know that if you die, I will not feel guilty."
"I can't believe that I can survive."
Li Piaofeng looked at the hot tea in the cup and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Don't worry, I will never give you a chance to save me. I will not let myself fall into crisis again. If such a thing really happens again, I promise to die simply."
After saying this, Li Piaofeng couldn't help but sigh: "Who said death is harder than life?"
"Please take care of yourself."
Han Shie stood up and walked slowly to the door: "The King of Qin is short of people, and he is also very interested in the Military Record Office around the King of Yan. I guess you will have a good life for a long time. If you are lucky, maybe this is also a way out for your great minister. You should know that if you stay in the Military Record Office of Yanyun Army, your status will never be too high."
"Are you robbed your third-tier seat? It's said that it's a military resident enshrined... it's just because your ability is not as good as others. There are indeed too many capable people under the King of Yan."
“There will always be many things that people cannot predict.”
Li Piaofeng looked at Han Shi'e, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Who knows, will you regret betraying King Yan in the future? Who knows, will I end up in pieces and die without a complete body?"
"I'm not betrayal!"
Han Shie stopped, turned around and said in a heavy tone, "I will say it again, from the beginning, I was not his subordinate or his minister. He came to me to cooperate rather than to make me loyal!"
Li Piaofeng sneered: "There are always many excuses to deceive yourself. Who else can you deceive besides lying yourself? Han Shie, you don't need to pretend to be hypocritical today, saying what will save my life in the future... I have no doubt that you will become the number one hero under the King of Qin. It is precisely because of this that your fate will definitely not be better than me."
"You don't need your reminder!"
Han Shie walked out of the tent and soon disappeared into the night.
Li Piaofeng sat blankly on the chair and didn't move for a long time.
"It turns out... it's really not easy to be afraid of death."
He smiled bitterly, thinking of the secret spies who died at his hands a few days ago, he couldn't help but twitch. Many of them were his subordinates who had been with him day and night.
"Why am I not dead?"
He asked.
But no one can answer him.
...
...
A team of about fifty knights crossed the night and galloped southwest along the official road. In the dark night, the horse's hooves were silence, and the sound seemed particularly harsh.
These fifty or so people were all wearing cloaks to cover their heads and faces. It was still rushing to travel late at night, which means that what they were going to do was urgent.
The man in the lead had a medium figure, and his black cloak covered most of his face, only a pair of bright eyes were revealed, and there was occasionally murderous intent in his eyes.
"General Dugu, we can rest. We can go to Xiangyang in one day at most. The brothers are already exhausted and we have to recover our strength."
The man in the lead suddenly looked cold, and he looked at the confidant who spoke and asked coldly: "Call it again."
"So…General."
"I'll kill you if you call me wrong again."
Si Shisan said coldly, then urged the horse to speed up: "Let's find a place to rest when it's dawn!"
PS: Regarding Li Piaofeng's identity, see Chapter 240 "Doing a Home Visit". Some readers say that the people in the Military Guards are all loyal to the King of Yan Li Xian, and the King of Yan is about to ascend the throne. At this time, rebellion is an idiot... When a person is still alive after six days of torture and torture, and he still wants to live, then rebellion is not an idiot.
PS2: Li Xian is not a god, even God has people who rebel against him. Betrayal is easy in the face of life and death and interests.
PS3: Don’t say that he hasn’t ascended the throne yet, is it that the emperor is surrounded by loyal ministers?
