When he turned around, he saw the people around him falling down one by one.
"This..." The man pointed at Wu Er, but before he could finish his words, his vision went dark, his body went limp, and he fell down.
"Wu Er, you..." The person who had eaten less noticed something strange, and was about to draw his sword to attack Wu Er, when he saw a group of people dressed in the same clothes as them suddenly jumped out of the forest.
When those people saw their companions coming out, they shouted in surprise: "Wu Er is a traitor, you must kill him soon..."
But in the next second, those who were dressed similarly to them slashed at them with their knives.
"You...were in the same group?" When they were about to die, the people sent by the general understood clearly, "We are the ones who went to exchange food with Wu Er? You..."
"A bunch of idiots, we have raised you for so many years, and you don't understand until now?" As soon as Wu Er's brothers rushed in, they quickly knocked down the standing people, and then covered up those who fell down.
With one strike, he didn't stop until he was sure to knock everyone down.
"Brother Wu, everyone is dead. What about those who escorted the gunpowder?" They only killed the people sent by the general to take charge. These people had some power. There were also more than 500 people guarding the outside of the cave.
Hold it in case of enemy attack.
"In my opinion, if you don't do anything and don't stop, you can kill them all. There are thousands of our brothers, so killing a few people is really nothing." A brother, Wu Er, brandished a bloody knife and
He said with a arrogant face.
"Brother Wu, what do you say?" Some people advocated killing, but others couldn't bear to do it.
Those who escorted the gunpowder were all soldiers at the lowest level like them. They were all poor people, and it was not easy to survive until now.
"Tie up all the people. Go and ask them if any of them are willing to come with us. If they are willing, let them follow us. If they are not willing, give them ten days' worth of food each and let them leave."
Wu Er thought for a moment and then spoke loudly.
"What? Brother Wu, give them ten days' worth of food? We don't have much food either." Their food was leftover from the last food exchange with the Yanbei Army. It is enough for them to eat ten days a day.
sky.
If the Yanbei army does not accept their surrender, they will have to rely on these grains to survive until they find a new way out.
"Give them the food first and let them go, and then..." Wu Er made a silencing gesture.
"We listen to Brother Wu Er." A smart person understood Wu Er's intention and his eyes lit up. =
Five hundred people have to be dispersed to deal with it, and it is easy for people to slip away. But don't forget that Wu Er is still a small leader in the food delivery team.
Wu Er used the pretext of order to gather all the five hundred people together, and then asked his brothers to come out and surround the five hundred people.
"Wu Er, what do you mean?"
"Wu Er, what are you going to do?"
No one is stupid. As soon as brothers Wu Er came out, the five hundred people realized that something was wrong, and they all said in a panic.
"I have rebelled. I am not going to go back in exchange for food." These people either followed them or waited to be silenced. In front of them, Wu Er did not pretend to be anything, and said bluntly.
"You...how could you do this! The general is so kind to you." Someone said sadly.
"Wu Er, by doing this, are you worthy of the general? Are you worthy of your comrades in the army who are waiting for you to return in exchange for food?" Someone righteously accused Wu Er.
Wu Er allowed these people to accuse him without any rebuttal. He waited until these people had finished scolding him, and then he spoke: "I know that no matter how much I tell you, you won't forgive me. But I still want to say it. I have no choice but to do so."
"Rebellion is just to survive. I don't want to die. I want to live, so I can only choose to rebel."
"Brothers, I will not embarrass you. If any of you are willing to go with me, I, Wu Er, promise that if you have a bite from me, you will have a bite from you. If you are unwilling to follow me, I will also let you go.
You go, and I will give you ten days' worth of food."
"Are you telling the truth? Are you willing to let us go? Are you willing to give us food?"
"No, where did you get the food? The last time you exchanged food, did you miss our food?"
"Wu Er, you little guy."
"Wu Er, you are so disappointing."
"Wu Er, if you do this, are you sorry to the brothers who are still hungry?"
"Wu Er, the general is hungry with us, but you hide the food. Have you always been rebellious? It's a shame that we are still aggrieved for you. It turns out you are such a person."
For a moment, there were all kinds of curses, Wu Er remained silent, but Wu Er's brothers couldn't bear it. They raised their swords and were about to rush forward, but Wu Er stopped them, "They are right in scolding me. I am a despicable person. I
It's just shameless, and they were right in criticizing me."
Wu Er blocked his brothers and said to the five hundred people surrounded: "I know you can't stand me, and I won't explain anything. If you want to take the food and leave, stand on my left side. If you want,
Stay with me and stand at my right hand.”
"Are you really going to give us food and not kill us?" Someone asked suspiciously.
Wu Er said with determination: "I, Wu Er, do what I say and never talk nonsense in front of my brothers. You are all here. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't tell you so much. I would just do it."
"Okay, I want food to go." Someone took the lead and walked to Wu Er's left hand side, followed by many people...
With a "crash", most of the soldiers walked to Wu Er's left side, and the rest did not walk to his right side, but stood still.
Seeing Wu Er looking over, the leader among them took a step forward and asked: "Wu Er, can I ask you a question?"
"ask."
"Brother Niu, were you the ones who stole that batch of gunpowder?"
"Of course not. Although I... made some preparations at that time, I didn't say anything back. It's just that there was no food in the army. I was afraid... that the people who followed me would be hungry, so I hid some food. I hid the food.
It’s not much, at most it’s enough for brothers like me to live for three to five days.” Wu Er’s face was honest and sincere no matter how he looked at it.
The man nodded and asked again: "Wu Er, how confident are you that you can exchange the gunpowder for food like last time?"
Wu Er smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, if nothing happens to Brother Niu, I am 70% sure. Now..."
Wu Er said with a sad face: "I'm not even 10% sure."
"Huh, just lie. They changed it last time. Why didn't Yan Beijun change it this time? You must have done it on purpose and deliberately lied to us." The person standing on Wu Er's left heard what Wu Er said.
Everyone snorted disdainfully.
Wu Er ignored them. His target was not those who were about to die... (To be continued)
