Xu Xiu was wearing a monk's robe and showed no reaction. He was still chanting sutras! Jiang Ping took a deep breath and continued, "Actually, to be honest, I didn't want to disturb you, but reality forced me to come to you!" "I know that too many things have happened recently, and it is difficult for you to accept it at the moment. But I believe that as long as you are willing, you can cheer up!"
Finding that Xu Xiu still ignored him, Jiang Pingmin expressed his helplessness, "Since you completely let go of Jinxiu, Jinxiu has become a mess! The various group armies formed gangs and openly robbed and plundered! Land is king! There is constant friction between each other!"
"Foreign enemies invaded, wantonly annexed the land of Fairview, and plundered Fairview's resources!"
"Under such a national crisis! Instead of unanimously communicating with the outside world, the generals of all parties have repeatedly made concessions in order to preserve their own strength and tried every means to avoid direct confrontation with foreign enemies! What's worse, they have even directly collaborated with foreign enemies!"
"The old group of people have almost left. The new wave of people who are taking advantage of this opportunity are all illegal and barbaric people who have come to power! They are not on the same page as our thoughts! This group of people has no sense of responsibility! For them, They say that the survival of the country is not important, what is important is their own interests!"
"Now Jinxiu has become a mess! If no one who can control the situation comes out to take charge, then the whole Jinxiu will be doomed! Little City Lord, that is the foundation of your Xu family, and Jinxiu was raised by you. My child, you can no longer sit idly by like this! Little City Lord, come out!"
The love was so deep that Jiang Ping, who was already a young man, burst into tears! It was obvious that he really loved Jinxiu!
Facing Jiang Ping like this, Xu Xiu remained silent, as if Jiang Ping had never been here from beginning to end! After chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, he stood up slowly, saluted Jiang Ping slightly, turned around and came to the dining hall, where he had a simple meal. , there was no meaty taste at all, and Xu Xiu ate very deliciously! Jiang Ping was still extremely unwilling, and he chased him to the canteen again.
"Many of the hearts and minds of Jinxiu's military and people are still with you! As long as you show up now, the trouble can definitely be settled! At least we veterans will definitely stand up and support you! The rest don't dare to do anything!"
"But if you don't show up now and let those people develop wildly! One group of people will change another group of people. Over time, many ideas will be deeply ingrained. Then it will be too late for you to go back! Little City Lord! Please! "
Xu Xiu's eyes were dull and empty. He slowly stood up, picked up the broom, and began to clean the temple courtyard! Jiang Ping was obviously a little excited. He rushed directly to Xu Xiu, grabbed the broom in Xu Xiu's hand, and folded it into two pieces. "Axiu! You can't go on like this! You have to cheer up! Only you! Only you can save Jinxiu!"
"You are our only belief and support! If you are like this, what do you want us to do?"
"We can't let those newcomers gain a foothold, and we can't let those forces reach a consensus! There's no time!"
Xu Xiu picked up the broom again and began to clean the courtyard carefully again. Jiang Ping's eyes were blood red. Seeing Xu Xiu's behavior, his eyes were full of hope. After a moment, he knelt on the ground directly: "Axiu, just look at this For the sake of being so many years older than you and having been with you for so many years! Come out! Even if you really don’t want to sit in this position, you should take advantage of this moment to make this mess come alive and give it to everyone. A clear instruction for everyone to communicate unanimously! Then bring your son back! You can also let us old people assist your son! At least Jinxiu is still there! It really can’t be delayed! Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu! I beg you !My little city lord!”
Mentioning his son, Xu Xiu frowned slightly, and finally had a reaction, but soon became depressed. He continued to clean the courtyard. Jiang Ping knelt here, saying nothing, watching.
Xu Xiu finished cleaning the yard and returned to the room. Jiang Ping remained motionless, and the guards came in, feeling distressed. He tried to persuade his commander, but to no avail! In the end, he could only stay on one side honestly!
As night fell slowly, Pu Sheng came to Jiang Ping's side and said, "Commander Jiang, please give me some advice. Stop trying to persuade me. Go back!"
"Master Pu, if the brocade disappears, will this temple of yours still exist?" "There is a certain destiny!"
"You are also a member of Jinxiu. Don't you have the responsibility to persuade the little city lord to go back?" "Do you think you haven't persuaded him?"
Pu Sheng sighed, "If you think carefully about what happened to him during this period, not to mention the deaths of Guo Pixiu and Yu Xin when they were young, just sacrificing his wife and killing his father, is this something that ordinary people can resist? He
My heart is really dead, it’s useless”
"If you don't believe it, just kneel down from here!" After Pu Sheng said this, he turned and left! Jiang Ping stopped talking and slowly closed his eyes. The security guard stood on one side, his face covered with blood.
have no choice!
Inside the house, Xu Xiu was lying on the bed, seemingly asleep, but in fact he couldn't fall asleep at all! I don't know how long it took, but several loud shouts came from outside the door, "Heaven will destroy the Jinxiu! Heaven will destroy the Jinxiu! God will destroy my Jinxiu!" "Boom!"
~" There was a gunshot.
"Commander!" The heartbreaking roar spread throughout the small courtyard. Xu Xiu couldn't help but tremble. Before long, two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes, but from beginning to end, he remained
Not moving at all...
At noon the next day, in Xiucheng, several veterans of Jinxiu gathered at the home of Feng Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army. "Everyone must have heard about Jiang Ping!" "Hey, it seems that it is impossible for the little city lord to come out.
"Yes!" "Yes, so we have to make plans for our own future! I want to hear what you all think?"
"I think, to be on the safe side, we should form a group first! Then seize as much territory as possible!"
"Let's get together, who will be in charge?" "Is it you, or me? Or is it someone else here?"
"We can not discuss these things first and find ways to stabilize the situation first!" "A country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is impossible without discussion!" "Then I suggest that we use the electoral system, and the minority obeys the majority! Or, in other words, everyone directly recommends it.
Come up with a suitable person in charge!" While several people were discussing, a commander slowly stood up.
"I'm sorry, everyone, we are facing a national crisis. I don't want to discuss this with you. I want to take my people to the front line to resist foreign enemies! This is my mission and my responsibility! Finally, I wish you all the best!
"
The commander's words were full of sarcasm, and he turned around and left! Several other commanders in the room looked at each other, nodded, and stood up in unison, "I wish you all the best, and we are leaving!" Soon, there were not many people left in the room.
Feng Ji took a deep breath and looked at the remaining people, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?..."
In Splendid Town, in an inconspicuous farmyard, a dozen middle-aged men sat around and were eating.
These were the military generals who followed Xu Youzhi and Yu Xin during the civil war. They were in two groups with Feng Ji and others.
The eldest and most prestigious among them was named Ma Jitao. The Jinxiu Second Group Army he held was also one of the most elite group armies in Jinxiu! "Have you heard? Jiang Ping committed suicide in Jinxiu Temple!
"I heard about it! It is said that they went to find the little city lord to come out, but the little city lord didn't want to, so he was forced to commit suicide!" "What do you think about this now?" "Isn't this obvious? The little city lord is sure.
If he doesn't come out of the mountain anymore, he will definitely not take care of Jinxiu anymore!" "Actually, it's a good thing that he doesn't care. If he wants to take care of it, it will be a troublesome thing. After all, we were all on the side of Commander Yu.
The person behind the old city lord!" "Having said that, we are all for Jinxiu. Who can know so many things in this?" "Is the process important? He can even use his wife as a shield.
If he can kill his own father, what else can't he do? So, if he really stands up to take charge of the overall situation, none of you here, including me, will be able to get better! Do you believe it?" Everyone immediately said:
They were speechless and looked at each other, "What should we do?"
"This is why I called everyone here today!" Ma Jitao took a deep breath. "Today's Jinxiu is in turmoil, with internal and external troubles, and it has reached a critical moment of life and death! As Jinxiu soldiers, we have the responsibility and obligation to stand up and stabilize everything.
!The reason why there are only a few of us and no one else is because we are different from them. We are people standing in the same boat. So if we cannot seize this opportunity to stand up and control our destiny in our own hands
Go on, it’s not certain whether the second half of your life will be glorious and endless, or whether you will sink to the bottom, or whether you can survive! I wonder if you agree with what I said? "
Many officers looked at each other and nodded, "Commander Ma is right! Internal and external troubles are too dangerous!"
"So, we must unite at this time and speak to the outside world. Of course, what I mean by speaking to the outside world is not just Moro Yingfeng, Xu Daliang and Yu Waterfall, but everyone except us! Let us take charge of the task!"
"
"Commander Ma is right. In our current situation, if we act alone, we will not be able to deal with Moro and Yu Waterfall, or even completely deal with Feng Ji and the others! So we need to unite and be monolithic. Only in this way can we
Really standing tall!" "I also agree with what Commander Ma said, but the problem is that a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day. There are so many of us, who is in charge?"
"This is a simple matter. Let's hold a voting election. Whoever you choose will be who you choose. What do you think?"
"What about the people participating in the election?" "The commander-in-chief of our three group armies and the commander-in-chief of our three special forces!"
"Then there are six people, what if there is a tie?" "So we need one more person to ensure there is no tie!"
"That person must be someone that everyone can believe in!"
