As soon as Zhao Yuntian said these words, Wei Lianguo's expression immediately changed! He said anxiously:
"Mr. Shui! I have been following the family master for more than ten years, and I have never had second thoughts! Even you can't frame Wei like this without any evidence!"
Most of the men in the camp were Wei Lianguo's cronies. Even though Zhao Yuntian's status in the village was much higher than theirs, they really did not dare to be called collaborators with the enemy.
The man surnamed Wei looked up at the tall, thin middle-aged man and said coldly: "My subordinates don't know!"
Wei Lianguo, as a direct disciple of Helian Tiexin, would naturally not be Zhao Yuntian's subordinate. However, both in terms of power and status, Zhao Yuntian was much higher than the other. At this time, the man regarded himself as a subordinate, but it was not
There is nothing wrong with that.
The tall and thin middle-aged man sighed, pointed behind him, and said: "These people are from my intelligence team. At noon today, we were ordered to go to the border of Yinren Village to negotiate cooperation between the two forces. But on the way we encountered
Enemy attack!"
Wei Lianguo glanced at these injured men. Although he did not recognize them, they were old men in the village after all, and several of them looked familiar.
The man asked doubtfully: "An enemy attack?"
"That's right! They are hundreds of miles away from here, and they came around from behind us. If you didn't cooperate with the enemy, how did they come around and attack us?" Zhao Yuntian asked sharply.
The retainer surnamed Wei said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Shui, even if your men are injured as a result, it doesn't mean that we let these enemies in."
Shui Yuntian smiled bitterly and said: "Yes! You are guilty of dereliction of duty at most. But this time there is a reason. Let's take a look at what's on that cart?"
Wei Lianguo vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he still stood up and walked towards the flatbed truck that was pushed up.
At this time, the flatbed truck was covered with a piece of white cloth. The man reached out and grabbed the edge of the white cloth and lifted up a corner.
"Young Master?!" The man screamed in shock, and the warriors from the surrounding guards who stood on their feet and looked around also shouted out in shock after seeing He Lianhong's body!
"No! No! It's impossible! I'm not collaborating with the enemy! We haven't found any trace of the enemy at all!" At this time, the hanger-up man finally panicked.
Precisely because he had been loyal to Helian Tiexin for so many years, he knew better than many people how much the family leader valued this heir! As a direct descendant of Helian Tiexin, he had helped the family leader handle many family affairs.
Regarding the love and tolerance of this future master, Helian Tiexin has reached a morbid state, and the man has also heard many rumors circulating in the house. Some rumors he believes, and some he does not believe. But one thing is certain, this man
Young Master Hong is definitely the most tyrannical master in Helianburg.
Zhao Yuntian said softly: "Wei Lianguo, I don't need to remind you what kind of temper our master is. We were assassinated near Queshan. Regardless of whether you collaborated with the enemy or not, you will definitely be freed from the crime of dereliction of duty." The tall, thin middle-aged man said, walking slowly.
Walked behind the other party and asked in a low voice:
"Then guess what the head of the family will do with you?"
At this time, Wei Lianguo's face was extremely pale. After a moment, he murmured: "I will definitely die..."
Zhao Yuntian nodded, then reached out and patted the other party's shoulder and said: "I can't protect myself either. This time Young Master Hong followed me to negotiate but was killed by the enemy, but I survived. My old life is to die.
Whether you live or not, it all depends on the owner of the family."
"Sir, please be at ease. Based on my understanding of the master, I can survive this disaster." The man calmed down at this time and quickly analyzed the situation in front of him in his mind.
Hearing this sentence, Zhao Yuntian's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
"Even if the head of the family hates you, the entire Tiexin Village cannot do without you, sir. The head of the family will definitely find a scapegoat for this matter. And the most suitable person to be this scapegoat..." Wei Lianguo did not say the next words, but Zhao Yuntian already knew the other party
Understood.
The tall, thin, middle-aged man nodded and said, "As long as you understand!" Zhao Yuntian said without looking back, and walked towards the tent in the camp.
Wei Lianguo glanced at the other party, thought for a moment, and followed him.
But everyone outside was like a frying pan, and they began to discuss the matter in front of them.
Arriving at the tent, a man from the outside followed him and waved his hand to let the people around him leave.
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Wei has a gracious request!" Wei Lianguo bowed and said.
The tall, thin middle-aged man did not look back at the other person, but just hummed softly.
"This time of disaster, Wei knew that he would definitely die. However, the head of the family was kind enough to meet him, so what's the harm in repaying it with his life? It's just that... there is an old mother in the family, and the brothers outside the camp are not worried, so they still
Please help me, sir!" Having said this, the man surnamed Wei knelt down straight on his knees.
Zhao Yuntian turned around, looked at the man kneeling in front of him and kowtowed, and sighed: "It's useless, the head of the family will definitely label you, your mother, and your brothers as treason for this matter."
All must die!"
"How could the master do this!" The man glared at the tall, thin middle-aged man with red eyes, and then the other party did not answer the man, but just looked at him silently.
After about a cup of tea in the camp, Wei Lianguo slowly got up from the ground and said gloomily: "Sir, why did you tell me the truth just now, so you weren't afraid that I would actually plot against you?"
Zhao Yuntian looked at the still desperate and crazy man, his eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "I might as well tell you, if you really plan to rebel, I really won't stop you!"
Wei Lianguo looked at the other party in confusion, waiting for the other party's explanation.
"The head of the family is far more talented than Shui. He will naturally understand what I can see through. If you had not rebelled, the head of the family would have executed you if he knew it. But in the end, he will still blame me for such an aggrieved decision.
Go up. Just because I still need Shui, I found you as a scapegoat!"
As Zhao Yuntian spoke, he looked through the papers on his seat, raised his head and glanced at the other party and said: "I am an old man who cannot live for a few years, but I still have a grandson! So, if you really defect or conspire
If you go against it, it will be much more beneficial to me and my grandson!"
The hanger-on man finally understood the purpose of the other party's visit. Mr. Shui had left a way out for himself from the very beginning. The hanger-on man's death was inevitable, and even the man's relatives and friends would also die.
But Mr. Shui used his strength to defeat their defection, leaving a way for himself and Shui Feng to retreat. In exchange, he gave Wei Lianguo a way to survive.
If you really defect, you can survive!
People are always cowardly when facing death. Even if they have the courage to face death for a moment, even if they encounter a glimmer of life, this trace of courage will instantly become exhausted!
Wei Lianguo was silent for a long time and said: "Yes, but I have a condition!"
"Speak!" Mr. Shui put the paper back on the table and said calmly.
"You have to rescue me and my brothers' families!" the man said bitterly.
The tall, thin middle-aged man showed an incomprehensible smile on his lips. He stood up and walked out of the camp. When he was approaching the door, he smiled and said, "It's a deal!"
