Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 45 Balance
"Oh! Since you want to die so much, and you really deserve to die, I will let you do it!"
Jiang Tiance's operation made Ye Feng look confused. He didn't believe that his few words could scare them. There must be some reason unknown to him, so he immediately spoke to test it.
"My hero, can you spare his life? He is also loyal to the emperor and the country. He accidentally bumped into you. I will strictly discipline him from now on."
Jiang Tiance's expression changed drastically, he quickly clasped his fists and said in a begging tone.
"Humph! If that's the case, then you should die for him!"
Ye Feng's face darkened, and after speaking, he pretended to raise the sword in his hand.
"Damn it! You're pretending to be a ghost, go to hell!"
That guy really didn't understand why Jiang Tiance was so low-key. With their strength, even if this kid went against the grain, what could he do? He immediately yelled and slapped the horse, wanting to kill him first and then show off.
But he was faster, and Ye Feng was even faster. He kicked off his horse with both feet and pounced on the man like an arrow from the string.
The two sides were no more than ten meters apart before the man could lift the sword in his hand. His eyes flashed as he saw a war horse carrying a headless corpse galloping past.
"Fuck! Isn't that me?"
This guy was a little confused and didn't react for a while. His eyes were confused for a while, but he immediately understood and opened his mouth to shout. Unfortunately, there was no way he could make a sound without his throat.
As soon as the guy rushed out, Jiang Tiance knew something was wrong, but unfortunately he had no time to stop him and everything had already settled.
Ye Feng's clean sword strike shocked everyone else. Like that man, they didn't understand why Jiang Tiance was so abnormal.
But this shocking sword made them understand that this man was not a human at all, he was a killing god, and no one could stop whoever's head he wanted.
Jiang Tiance almost scolded that man's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, but what could he do? Now that the matter was over, there was no doubt anymore. In any case, it was important to save his life.
Jiang Tiance was no longer reserved at all. He turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, cupped his fists and bowed:
"Excuse me, hero!"
The others gave in when they saw the coach, and immediately got off their horses and knelt down on one knee.
"hey-hey!"
Ye Feng smiled unkindly, but his mind was even more confused. These people didn't look like cowards, so why did they bow their heads?
"Hahaha, miss, you saw it, everyone said Jiang Feng is not a human being, now you believe it!"
At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came. Before anyone arrived, Hongling's exaggerated laughter had already sounded.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Hong Ling's words made Jiang Tiance and the others, who were kneeling on the ground, turn pale in an instant. They were all secretly glad that they had caught the opportunity quickly.
However, I began to feel uneasy again, and I could no longer resist at all.
It's not that they are really afraid of death, it's just that who doesn't want to live, and if they really want to die, they have to die with some value. They can't be like the three people before, who were killed instantly like a bug. It's really sad.
"Sister Liang, what should we do with these people?"
Ye Feng didn't want to worry about that. Now that Jiang Meiliang had returned safely, he quickly gave up his career.
"Kekeke, these are your prisoners. According to our rules, you have the right to deal with them."
Jiang Meiliang didn't know whether it was intentional or it was a real thing, but he kicked the ball back to Ye Feng.
"this......"
Ye Feng was really speechless. How did he know what to do? It was really difficult for him to have no enmity with these people.
However, when he glanced at the ten people who were kneeling on the ground respectfully, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"Sister Liang, you have misunderstood. These people are not my prisoners. They have mistakenly recognized the wrong person and thought I was you. They have respected you for a long time and are willing to surrender, so they can only be your prisoners."
"Giggle, geek, you are so talkative!"
Jiang Meiliang chuckled. It was indeed a joke with Ye Feng. After speaking, he turned around, his face darkened, and then said:
"General Tiance, you are the commander-in-chief of a powerful army, but you actually aided the tyrants and mobilized the troops without permission. You are guilty of this!"
"Tiancang knows the crime! But he will be punished by a good commander, and there will be no complaints."
Jiang Tiance was a first-rank official, and his rank was even higher than Jiang Meiliang's. Although he surrendered and confessed, he had no regrets and seemed to hesitate after speaking.
"You can be regarded as always loyal. You have been personally awarded the title of General Tiance by the Holy One. You are so blessed by the Holy Spirit. Why bother to join in the evil deeds!"
Jiang Meiliang sighed and said.
"No! I have never done it for myself. If I were given a choice again, I would still come to stop the good commander from returning to Beijing."
Jiang Tiance didn't show any regrets, and instead spoke with a strong voice.
Jiang Meiliang: "Oh! With the facts before our eyes, how can General Tiance still confuse right and wrong?"
Jiang Tiance: "No, Tiance is naturally guilty, a capital crime! But I don't regret it. You really shouldn't have returned to Beijing, handsome commander!"
Jiang Meiliang: "Do you know the military situation at the border? The Wu State is ambitious. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border. They are well-prepared and can launch an attack on Qixia Pass at any time.
However, I have one hundred thousand soldiers at Qixia Pass who lack food, clothing, and no backup. They are now alone. If we don't get out for three months, we will die of hunger and cold without the enemy attacking us.
What's ridiculous is that the imperial court didn't care. Just because I refused to return to Beijing, how could I still stay at the border? Are you going to make me a sinner through the ages?"
Jiang Tiance: "How is it possible that we are short of food and clothing? Our Jialing Province alone has allocated tens of thousands of tons of food and grass in three months. We have delivered 50,000 sets of winter clothes three months ago. How can we still be short of food and clothing at the border?"
Jiang Meiliang: "Did I lie about the military situation?"
Jiang Tiance: "No! There must be something fishy in it. Someone must have withheld the supplies for the border army."
Jiang Meiliang: "If the government does not allow food to be distributed, who would dare to go there easily?"
Jiang Tiance: "That's true. It's just that the relationship between Beijing and China is really delicate. If you enter Beijing, you will definitely break the existing balance. So no matter what, we must prevent you from entering Beijing. You are needed at the border, but not in Beijing."
Jiang Meiliang: "Prevent me from entering Beijing?"
"Yes! The military order we received is to prevent you from entering Beijing, and it will not harm your life!"
Someone next to Jiang Tiance answered.
"Is that so!?"
Jiang Meiliang fell into deep thought.
Indeed, this battle was too simple. The Jialing garrison had always been tough, with two thousand fine cavalry, but their combat power was much more than that. She had noticed it during the battle.
"Good Commander, the relationship between the DPRK and China is too complicated. The emperor's sudden serious illness is really strange. The dispute between the crown prince and the sixth prince may be just a superficial phenomenon, but the balance has been maintained in the end.
When you enter the capital this time, the balance will inevitably be broken. When the time comes, the government will inevitably be bloody and injured, and our strength will be severely damaged in the last war, and we really can no longer withstand the torment.
I am determined to destroy Wu State, and the border is sharpening. We need you to guard the border. If you make any mistakes on your way back to Beijing, it will be the end of my life."
