King Xiang was surrounded outside and was not in a hurry to attack. He just fired wave after wave of cold arrows. The wall of the camp was not very high anyway. He could shoot as many as he wanted.
The people inside the wall couldn't get out, so they had no choice but to use artillery to blast a way out.
This was what Lin Chong was waiting for. After the first artillery shot was fired, King Xiang gave an order, and all the soldiers replaced their arrows with oiled arrows and fired them lightly. Only a huge noise was heard, even though they had been evacuated.
The people retreated far away, but many people were still injured, and there was even more wailing inside the wall.
Lin Chong coughed lightly, adjusted his expression, and patted King Ji on the shoulder carelessly: "I know that King Ji must have been wronged these days, so I specially asked King Xiang to come and vent your anger. How about it,
Have you vented your anger? If not, let’s do it again.”
King Ji: Someone come quickly, I am suffering from heartache and illness. Someone come quickly and help me back home!
It's a pity that no one heard his voice. Lin Chong waited for him to speak with an expression on his face: "Why don't you thank me all because of you?"
King Ji had no choice but to reply: "The actions of the three camps before were indeed infuriating. The principal criminal Zhang Wei has been sent to prison and is waiting for your majesty to deal with him. As for the other two, they are determined to change their ways. It is enough to teach them a lesson. I hope
Your Majesty, give them a chance."
Lin Chong nodded thoughtfully, "You are right. Then give them a chance."
The yard had been blown up, the fire was burning, and wounded soldiers were everywhere.
Lin Chong volunteered to serve as a messenger: "People inside, listen, you are surrounded now. Originally, you deserved death, but a small punishment according to King Ji's will is enough. Now I give you
Given a chance to make a new choice, if anyone is willing to sincerely repent, put down his weapons and walk out, I can absolve him of the crime at my discretion."
The commotion here became louder and louder, and many people gathered to watch. The soldiers inside also had parents and relatives. At this moment, many old people threw themselves at the door and cried hoarsely.
Lin Chong pointed at King Ji: "The reason why the people inside dare not come out must be because they have offended King Ji a lot these days. They are afraid that King Ji will not forgive their sins after they come out. Now you have to go and intercede with King Ji."
, let him be noble and let your children go."
When the group of old people heard this, they hurriedly ran to King Ji and begged him to let go of their children. King Ji was helpless. This matter had nothing to do with him from beginning to end. Why was he dragged in?
…
Facing the people who were anxiously surrounding him, King Ji could not explain anything, so he had to serve as a messenger loudly: "I know that you also have your own difficulties. Now His Majesty the Emperor is magnanimous and respects your past."
I won’t investigate further, so just put down your weapons and come out.”
Dong Fang and Li Feng inside were almost angry when they heard what he said. He was the one who encouraged them to rebel, and now he is the one who persuades them to surrender.
How could King Ji not know that if the two of them were allowed to come out alive, they would definitely confess him. So while he was talking about persuading people to surrender, he was actually giving the people behind him a wink to speed up the attack and block other ways out.
, so as not to let these two people escape.
Seeing that the fire is getting bigger and bigger, if he doesn't make a choice, he will probably let these brothers who have been through life and death accompany him to be buried here.
Dong Fang gritted his teeth: "Let's go. You are all good men who will make contributions to the country in the future. There is no need to ruin your lives because of the wrong choices we made at the moment. Your Majesty will not blame you if you admit your mistake.
He needs the strength of the three major battalions."
A group of big and rough men didn't know how to choose at this time. On one side were brothers who shared life and death, and on the other side were relatives who were crying and begging.
Lin Chong estimated that time was almost up, and shouted inside: "You can't hold on here much longer. Those who are willing to change their evil ways should immediately put down their weapons and come out."
Finally, someone came out. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, but with this person, it will be much easier for the people behind. Soon, people came out in droves, hugged their relatives and cried bitterly.
To be honest, Lin Chong had too many thoughts under the three camps, and being betrayed by them was a very difficult thing for him to accept.
But after so long, he has calmed down. Even if there are mistakes, not everyone is at fault. Even killing everyone will not help. It is better to give them a chance to correct themselves. After all, most people here are just innocent.
People must obey orders, and it is not entirely their fault that soldiers take obedience to orders as their bounden duty.
Little did they know that an accident happened when there were only a dozen people left in this small courtyard. A group of men in black fell from the sky and attacked them directly, using arrows used by King Xiang's army.
Li Feng was furious: "The emperor actually broke his promise. Do you want to kill everyone here?"
Dong Fang shook his head: "There is no need for the emperor to do this. At this time, he least wants us to die, because he still wants to hear us tell the truth about the matter."
"Then what brother means is..."
"Who do you think is the person who most wants us insiders to disappear at this time?"
"King Ji? This bastard who crosses rivers and destroys bridges!" Li Feng clenched his fists. Seeing that they were exhausted, a group of people rushed in from the door...
Lin Chong didn't expect that he would arrive in such timely manner. He originally wanted to come in and arrest them directly, so as not to die here and he would not be able to get any information.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came in, he saw a few of them fighting with a group of men in black, and they were obviously at a disadvantage. Lin Chong suppressed the group of men in black without much effort, but unfortunately these people were probably dead.
When the waiters saw that they were outnumbered, they all chose to commit suicide, failing to leave Lin Chong alive.
The dozen or so people inside were probably extremely weak from being smoked for too long. When Lin rushed in, several of them had already fainted, and some were injured and were still gritting their teeth.
When Dong Fang woke up, he found that he was not in a prison, but in a large, spacious and clean room. He finally looked around and found that everyone else was also placed here.
Mu Xi was reading with her head down when she caught a glimpse of him waking up and kicking the fragrant wood sleeping next to him: "Wake up, go tell the young master."
Mu Mu was kicked awake, with an unhappy look on his face. He glanced at Dong Fang who had just woken up, and ran out.
Soon Lin Chong, wearing a dragon robe, came in with a smile. He neither deliberately mocked Dong Fang nor pretended to care for them cordially. He even looked at Dong Fang and the others with some schadenfreude: "This doesn't matter.
Damn it, you guys are really lucky."
Dong Fang lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
