The fire in the courtyard soared into the sky, reflecting on Wang Wei's calm face.
But Wang Wei's inner world was no longer calm.
Everything is out of plan, everything is out of control.
Li Yuan's army surrounded the governor's mansion, and Wang Wei became a trapped beast.
The trapped beast still fights, but Wang Wei is not sure whether he wants to go all the way to the dark side.
Hold on to the end or surrender.
This is another question worth thinking about.
The biggest problem is that even if Wang Wei wants to surrender, others may not accept him.
Soon someone stood up and announced Wang Wei's upcoming end:
"Wang Wei, please die."
In the courtyard of the Juncheng Mansion, someone shouted softly.
The sound was not loud, but it seemed to ring in Wang Wei's ears.
Wang Wei looked out from the door of the front hall. The man who spoke was riding a tall horse, clapping a feather fan and smiling elegantly. He was Liu Wenjing, the former magistrate of Jinyang County.
I saw him gently shaking his feather fan, pointing into the hall, and scolding:
"Rebel Wang Wei, colluded with the Turks, the evidence is conclusive, the crime deserves death, I will take you to see the Holy One today."
"Fart! Shit!"
Wang Wei almost spit out a mouthful of old blood: "You are a thief, and all nine of your clans are thieves!"
Wang Wei was trying to argue, but Liu Wenjing had already taken action.
"The feather fan is like the wind, and the flame is like the waves."
He shook his feather fan lightly, and a wave of fire came out of the fan and rolled over dozens of yellow-armored soldiers in the courtyard.
These soldiers instantly seemed to be wearing blazing armor. Each of them had fire skills. They could shoot out fireballs with their fists, and fire snakes would dance with them when they danced their swords.
Several fire-armored soldiers rushed forward together, and the guards of the County Cheng Mansion were unable to guard against them. From time to time, someone was hit by fireballs and snakes, and screams could be heard one after another in the courtyard.
The strange thing is that these fireball fire snakes seem to have eyes and open intelligence. They only burn people and meat, but they don't light wood, clothes, window paper or anything else.
Wang Wei then saw Yuwen Jianxue, who was fluttering in white clothes, taking advantage of the fire and taking the lead to charge forward.
I saw her surrounded by snowflakes, her figure flickering like a butterfly or a swallow, her movements difficult to trace. Gao Junya, who led the crowd in the courtyard to resist, was worried about the fire and wanted to be prepared for her sneak attack. He fought and retreated, blocking on the left and resisting on the right.
, was in danger several times.
Wang Wei hurriedly said: "Yuwen Jianxue, after I recognize that you are a famous minister, I can forgive your sin of rebellion on behalf of the Holy Lord. Now put down your sword and join us in killing Thief Li. It is the right time to pay for your sin and make meritorious service."
Yuwen Jianxue sneered and said: "The king is stupid and his ministers are mediocre, so I will put someone's head on my neck. When the time comes, I will do my best."
As he spoke, he swung his sword towards Wang Wei from afar.
The sword energy condensed into a wave of snow, which was so frightening that Wang Wei was so startled that he stepped back and hit the wooden table behind him.
Fortunately, Gao Junya took a breath and raised his sword to split the snow waves. Wang Wei calmed down and turned to look directly at Tian Deping. He saw a smile on his face, sitting back and watching the tiger fight, and said angrily:
"Look, you are all awakened disciples. Look at others, and then look at you. I don't see you showing off your authority, I only see you laughing at jokes."
Tian Deping smiled and said: "It's not yet time."
After saying that, he shouted outside: "Gao Lang will retreat quickly! Let's go back to the inner room and fight with her again."
Gao Junya relied solely on the evil to suppress the good, and he was fighting without hesitation to fight against the evil, and he could no longer hold on for a long time.
After listening to Tian Deping's words, he immediately drew a circle and feinted a gun, then somersaulted back to the main hall.
As soon as Gao Junya's feet landed, he was pulled by Wang Wei and walked to the backyard with Tian Deping.
Gao Junya turned around and looked around, pointing at the group of soldiers from the County and Cheng Mansion who were still resisting stubbornly at the entrance of the front hall, thinking that Tian Deping was afraid that Tian Deping would retreat to the secret room in the backyard, but he only took a few people with him. How could these soldiers be Liu Wenjing?
I'm afraid all of Yuwen Jianxue's opponents will lose their lives.
Then he whispered to Wang Wei: "What should we do with these brothers?"
Tian Deping then said: "When the Clay Bodhisattva crosses the river, do you still care about others?"
As he said that, surrounded by several guards, everyone arrived in the backyard.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Wang Wei saw Tian Deping take out a yellow talisman from his arms and light it casually. The entire backyard, as well as the secret room to the north, were shrouded in a layer of yellow light.
Looking towards the front hall, Yuwen Jianxue led several fire-armored soldiers and rushed into the front hall. Pointing their swords, someone must have fallen to the ground. The ground was covered with blood.
As for the screams, Wang Wei was already numb.
All the guards of the County Cheng's Mansion in the front hall had been killed. The two fire-armored soldiers who rushed in front turned around and went to the backyard to kill. When they hit the edge of the yellow light shield arranged by Tian Deping, they immediately softened and fell down together.
on the ground--
They were lying on their backs on the ground, their faces purple and green, as if they had been poisoned.
There were fire armor soldiers behind him, but they were stopped by Yu Wen Jianxue. One of the soldiers had already rushed out. Unable to stop himself, Yu Wen Jianxue rushed in, kicked him to the corner, and rolled away.
a circle of ground,
"Do you want to die?"
Only then did the soldiers see the two poisoned men lying on the ground, kowtowing to Yuwen Jianxue repeatedly, thanking them for saving their lives.
Yuwen Jianxue ignored him, her face was as cold as frost, and she swung her sword several times at the light barrier.
The sword energy plunged into the light barrier, disappearing completely like a mud cow entering the sea.
Wang Wei looked at Tian Deping and was very angry, "Tian joined the army, why didn't you use such a sharp weapon earlier?"
Tian Deping whispered: "The cover is only so big, and it won't last long."
Wang Wei looked unkind: "Then what should we do now? You can't tell me when it's time... If you wait any longer, we'll report to the underworld together."
Tian Deping opened his mouth as if to speak, and a clear male voice came from the front hall:
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero! Wang Juncheng, General Gaolang, as long as you two change your mind and abandon the dark side, I and Tang Gong will explain the past events, and your lives will be safe, and you will have a great fortune."
It was Liu Wenjing who spoke.
Gao Junya sneered: "I don't know who wanted the county magistrate to die before."
Liu Wenjing shook her feather fan gently and pointed at the corpses on the ground, "If you persist to the end, you will die. If you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you will have a bright future."
After hearing this, Wang Wei's heart moved——
The high wall of defense he built in his heart seemed to have been cracked open - so to speak, his road is not exhausted yet.
I don't know who whispered in Wang Wei's ear: "Jun Cheng, let's surrender. Duke Tang is kind and will definitely not make things difficult for us..."
Gao Junya said angrily: "Skeleton!"
As he said that, he kicked the man to the ground and rolled around.
The man endured the pain and still said: "We can't let so many brothers die together... I still have an old lady at home to take care of."
After listening to the previous words, Wang Wei was still nodding. When he heard the old lady's words, Wang Wei suddenly came to his senses.
Who doesn't have an old mother? Wang Wei's whole family is in Daxing City.
If Li Yuan were surrendered, would the Holy King open his eyes and spare his wife and children, as well as the whole family?
Never will.
Wang Wei has seen many times where a whole family suffers due to one person's fault.
Wasn't Yuwen Jianxue, who was just in the front hall wearing white clothes and killing everyone, the victim?
His father Yu Wenbi, the Minister of Rites, had never made any mistakes.
It’s not like Wang Wei has never seen the incident involving the nine clans.
In the ninth year of the Great Cause, the first person in the world to be implicated among the nine clans was Yang Xuangan, who was an official in the same dynasty as himself.
Wang Wei gradually calmed down.
Be loyal.
There was no way out, and it was worth sacrificing his life to keep the whole family safe.
Be loyal.
Even if the body dies and the soul disappears, if a pure name remains, it can be remembered for centuries and be admired and praised by future generations.
What else did the man lying on the ground say?
"Shut up,"
Wang Wei raised his sword and stabbed him to death.
"Now that we have reached this point, how can the rebels bypass us? If there is another person who disturbs the morale of the army, it will be this person."
As he spoke, he pointed his sword at the front hall,
"At this point, our lives are hard to save, but for the sake of the country, the country, and the people of Jinyang, we have to make a last-ditch effort, and we will never let the traitors get what they want."
After saying that, Wang Wei saw Tian Deping smiling at him:
"Your Majesty, don't say these depressing words, we still have a chance - we will definitely win."
