Back Off, Let Me Come

It was so quiet inside the tent that you could clearly hear a pin drop.

Everyone's expressions were shocked, as if they couldn't believe that these words came from Wu Xian's mouth, but the person involved was more shocked than them.

Veins popped up on the man's forehead, his chest rose and fell with rapid breathing, and even his eyes became bloodshot at some point. He was like a wounded beast forced into a desperate situation. In despair, he let out a shrill cry: "Master——"

Wu Xian's body trembled.

Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream and begged for mercy.

A colleague who was close to him came out and knelt down despite his injuries, clasping his fists with tears in his eyes: "Master, you must not do this!"

His actions seemed to turn on a switch.

People came out one after another.

"De Mao is devoted to the Lord, and he made a big mistake for the sake of the lord. If the lord really wants to be held accountable, please also hold him accountable for the crime of unfavorable custody." The person who spoke this time was a heavyweight. There were originally six brave warriors in Wu Xian's camp, known as the "Six Heroic Generals", but Zhao Feng left and two others were killed in the battle. Now only three remain.

The person who spoke was one of the three.

At the same time, he is also the one who has the biggest conflict with Zhao Feng.

The person who killed Zhao Feng's subordinate officer was his wife's brother.

His brother-in-law was a playboy when he was young, but he stopped being naughty until he was young. As a brother-in-law, he was naturally pleased. In addition, the two families had other interests involved, so he also cherished his brother-in-law very much. On weekdays, when we go to parties and drink, we will inevitably speak the truth, and the content is nothing more than some complaints. Among these contents, Zhao Feng, the mud-legged person, occupies a huge space.

As time went by, he became jealous of Qin Li's brother-in-law, and also became dissatisfied with Zhao Feng, the dog-legger around Qin Li. At first it was just a stumbling block, but Qin Li and his group didn't want to cause trouble and ignored it. However, leaving it to his wife and brother made Qin Li and others fear him.

What started as small conflicts gradually accumulated into big conflicts.

All generals know these things.

But he didn't think anything big could happen.

Even if someone's life did happen later, he didn't feel that it couldn't be settled - he was just a low-level official who couldn't read all the big words. How could Zhao Feng start a fight for an insignificant role? At worst, when this war is over, he will host a banquet, escort his wife and brother, bring generous gifts, and make amends to Zhao Dayi, and the matter will be over.

If that doesn't work, I'll spread the military pay even more.

Isn't this enough to pay for a miserable life?

Unexpectedly, his wife's brother died unexpectedly.

The general was completely blinded, bursting with anger, and cursed Zhao Feng, a reckless man who was ignorant and shameless.

In his opinion, this is no longer a simple contradiction.

This was a face-to-face struggle between him and Zhao Fengming.

The person who died was his wife’s brother! If this matter is revealed lightly, his reputation in Tianhai will be ruined, and his wife's family will not be able to explain it! It happened that the Xu family's granary was on fire, and the supply of food and grass on the front line was difficult, so they could only rely on the Tianhai family, including his family, for financing.

So he teamed up with his close colleagues to make the matter a big deal, forcing Wu Xian to punish Zhao Feng. He was careful not to take Zhao Feng's life. He wanted Zhao Feng's face to be completely thrown to the ground and trampled on! So, with the subsequent stick, Zhao Feng had one hundred sticks.

Apart from feeling happy, I was also a little worried. Things are changing, if one day he loses power, won't Zhao Feng pay back double the amount? Will forcing the lord to express his stance this time will completely offend the lord? He and Wu Xian grew up and knew Wu Xian's temper very well.

After watching for a while, everything was calm.

Not only did the Lord fail to appease Zhao Feng, but he also became alienated from them. Even Qin Li, whom he usually trusted the most, rarely saw him again and was visibly close to Tianhai. He discussed with his colleagues and understood the lord's choice, and his high-spirited heart was completely relieved.

Qin Li and his team are completely unable to turn around.

He was thinking about the overall situation and was ready to put aside his personal grudges temporarily.

There will be many opportunities to settle accounts with Zhao Feng in the future.

He never expected that someone else would get into trouble right under his nose, and now he had no choice but to risk his face to wipe it out.

The "De Mao" he calls is his wife's brother's cousin.

In terms of blood relationship, I also have intersection with him.

After saying that, others followed suit.

All six people in the tent were begging for mercy.

Wu Xian asked with a sneer: "You all plead for him? Do you know how big a mistake he made? If he were alive, Tianhai's reputation would be completely ruined. Ask yourselves, you are killing the enemy on the front line, while your family members are behind for personal reasons. Are you heartbroken that the grievances were violated and there was no explanation at the end?"

[Those are just a few cheap lives! 】

The general suppressed the response that was about to blurt out and changed his words.

"Lord, I would like to plead guilty for De Mao. Ultimately, these things all started because of the general..." The general still refused to surrender. He looked at Wu Xian with stern eyes and said word by word, "Lord, De Mao I am young and ignorant, so please forgive me.”

Wu Xian looked at him calmly and kept laughing.

"Begging for forgiveness? Now?"

Haha, it's too late!

The general said: "Yes, now!"

Seeing that Wu Xian had no intention of letting go, he could only firm up his attitude and his tone was subconsciously a little tougher. After he finished speaking on his front foot, cold sweat began to break out on the back of his back foot - he later realized that his attitude was wrong, but he couldn't stop the water.

You can't take back what you said.

The only reason is that I have been too complacent and proud these past few years.

Wu Xian smiled instead of being angry, and pulled out the sword from his waist.

The general's eyes almost burst with desire: "Lord!"

Wu Xian had already stepped forward. The moment his half-stretched hand hit Wu Xian's fierce eyes, he stopped abruptly——

Poof!

As the sword flashed, a human head fell to the ground.

Hot blood spattered half of his body.

Wu Xian sheathed his sword and ordered in a calm tone: "Come here, pack your things properly and send them over."

The head on the ground was still there, its eyes never closed.

Everyone fell into a long dead silence again.

Until, Wu Xian's steady voice rolled into his ears as smooth as lard: "Gentlemen, I also want to know - why is it that such a big thing happened in Tianhai, but I, the lord, didn't even get the slightest hint of it? Arrive? Where are the state government offices? Where are the state and county garrison troops? Even - where are the personal guards in my house? None! Not a single bit of news has been sent!"

He chopped off the table and mats with one stroke of his knife.

He shouted loudly and asked: "You should answer it!"

The whole hall was still silent!

Wu Xian mocked: "Has the vast sky and the sea and the dozens of surrounding counties been taken by someone? Are you the lord, or am I the lord? Your abilities are truly extraordinary!"

Everyone was dripping with cold sweat and sweating like rain.

Wu Xiandao: "Most of you and I have known each other since we were young, and a few of us have met when we were naked... It has not been an easy journey for everyone. I am willing to tolerate you, but it does not mean that I am willing to be You fooled."

On relationships——

Many of the people present were either his wife's brother-in-law or his wife's brother-in-law. Their sisters or female relatives of the same clan were all Wu Xian's concubines. It's not that Wu Xian is really that lustful, it's just that this relationship makes the interests of the two families closer.

For Wu Xian, having one more side wife is just one more mouth in the backyard, making the employer more secure. For them, accepting a woman is a guarantee given by Wu Xian.

Since then, the two families have been one family.

This model can bring benefits, but it also has drawbacks.

In the past, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, but now it is different.

The shortcomings gave Wu Xian a sense of crisis.

He felt that his life was threatened!

"Let's stop talking about Gongsu and Dayi's affairs. You should also reflect on it!" After saying that, Wu Xian left everyone behind and left. The bodyguards came forward and carried the still-cool body onto the wooden board, straightened the head, and covered it with a white cloth.

After a while, silence returned to the tent.

Everyone looked at each other with different expressions, and many people began to whisper in their hearts-could their own family be involved?

"My lord is really angry this time..."

"Even so, my lord will kill as many as he says without any mercy..." The man swallowed back the second half of his complaint, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one was looking at him, "This matter Son, have you gone too far?"

Of course, it’s not about reflecting on yourself for doing too much.

They felt that Wu Xian had gone too far.

"... Even if Qin Gongsu and others join the new master and have no achievements or military exploits, even if Jun Shen reuses them, he will not fall out with the lord at this juncture because of them. The lord is anxious to kill people to answer to them, and he is no longer as brave as before. …”

Back then, Wu Xian was not afraid of anyone.

Some old people sighed secretly.

Although they also believed that annihilating the family was indeed excessive, it was not appropriate to ask the children of the aristocratic family to pay the price with their lives. Only a few civilians died. How many civilians were affected by daily wars? As for the news behind Tianhai being blocked, they really don’t know! They dare to pat their chests and swear to God that they will be loyal and never change their minds! The lord is worried too much.

Some people patted their chests and expressed their feelings.

But he didn't notice that someone silently turned his face away.

Although they had no intentions of rebellion, they did not dare to swear anything. After all, no one could predict the future.

The body was taken away overnight.

However, Qin Li moved overnight, and Wu Xian's personal guards were unable to catch up, so they could only send the body to Shen Tang. Qin Li and others happened to be present. Qin Li recognized the identity of the leader of the bodyguards and lowered his eyes at the thing they carried - it looked like a corpse, but he didn't know who the owner of the corpse was...

Shen Tang, who was excitedly trying to increase Qin Li's favorability, was confused, pointed at the white cloth and asked: "...who is under here?"

The guard personally lifted the white cloth.

Revealing a head with open eyes.

There was still a look of fear on the face of the deceased.

Shen Tang took a look and had no impression: "Who is he?"

The guard saluted Shen Tang, then cupped his fists at Qin Li and explained: "This person is the leader of the thieves who planned to murder Vice General Zhao's family."

Zhao Feng stood up on the spot after hearing this.

He looked at the corpse, then at Qin Li, and gritted his teeth: "Good guy, it was this turtle grandson who did it!"

"Please tell Mr. Wu that we will accept it." Compared to Zhao Feng's excitement, Qin Li was much calmer, with no surprise on his face. "Let's put the grudge to rest."

The guards clasped their fists and retreated.

Shen Tang squatted next to the corpse and stared at it for a while.

He clapped his hands and stood up: "Brother Zhaode, you can really commit suicide."

Zhao Feng and Qin Li both looked at her.

Shen Tang pointed casually: "This is the only person you trust?"

Zhao Feng sighed and said: "It's not easy to give an explanation. If we really pursue it, we can pull out a lot of people..."

After everything has been dealt with, Wu Xian is still not injured?

Shen Tang put one hand on his hips and held his chin with the other and asked, "So, the large group of people who survived the disaster will burst into tears and thank Brother Zhaode for saving them? I don't think so. They will only blame Brother Zhaode for being so mean." What about Shao En..."

To quell trouble, the heads of subordinates were sacrificed.

Zhao Fengyu choked: "Can you really be so ignorant?"

Shen Tang curled his lips: "I don't know about this, but if I were Brother Zhaode, I would definitely sift them from head to toe with a grate. Whether they are blocking and concealing or intercepting battle reports, this kind of behavior is worthy of the name. Have you been 'betrayed'? A person who has betrayed is like a dog that has bitten someone. There are only zero or countless betrayals. Once you are disloyal, you will not be loyal a hundred times!"

Wu Xian is still too soft-hearted.

Or maybe he knew that the Great Purge would severely damage his vitality, so after weighing the pros and cons, he chose the one that would cause less damage.

Shen Tang can understand, but doesn't agree.

Qin Li did not comment and just looked at the new lord.

"Once unfaithful, a hundred times unfaithful?"

"...Um, who didn't go there?" Shen Tang couldn't help but turned his head and looked around, "The betrayal in the past was called 'unkindness'. Now I have changed my mind, changed the evil into good, abandoned the old and made a new one... …We also want to give people a chance!”

For example, someone who betrayed seven lords seven times.

But it's not like she was betrayed.

As a lord, you must have a broad mind to give people opportunities to do good things! I believe that Gong Su, who understands righteousness so well, will understand.

Qin Li: "...that's not what I meant."

Shen Tang said "Oh".

Zhao Feng: "..."

I have no idea what kind of riddle these two are playing.

All he cared about was what to do with the body.

Shen Tang: "Burn it and scatter the ashes on your brother's grave."

This is a good idea to relieve a grudge.

However, Zhao Feng was a very simple-minded man. He had buried his brother hastily because he did not know the prospects of the war and was afraid that he would not survive to arrange his funeral. Now that we have won the battle, we should dig out our brothers, help their souls go back, and let them return to their roots. Let's wait until the ashes of our enemies are scattered on the graves of our brothers and sisters. Scattering them now is a bit wasteful.

Zhao Feng told him his plan, and Shen Tang readily agreed.

Despite the rush, the temporary residence of Qin Li and others was cleared, and the busy work was over, and the sky turned white.

Qin Li suddenly said: "Mr. Wu is afraid that he will die soon."

Zhao Feng was surprised: "Huh?"

Qin Li put away the books: "My lord has also seen it."

Zhao Feng recalled Shen Tang's words and said calmly: "That's not true, is it? Although Tianhai's gang has no sense of propriety and behaves arrogantly... but they will not kill their master..."

"It was true before, but not necessarily now. Mr. Wu's momentary softness will only lead to greater hidden dangers... Maybe he is also gambling."

If there is really a big purge, Wu Xian will have to die half of his life. The Wu family has its roots in Tianhai and has complicated relationships with other families. Attacking these people is like stabbing himself with a knife... Even if he has the courage, he will kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself. He had no choice.

Zhao Feng was silent for a long time: "Even if it is true...well, it has nothing to do with us, don't think about it."

Wu Zhaode is no longer the lord.

I feel a little sad, but not heartbroken.

Zhao Feng was about to retreat when the bodyguard beside Shen Tang came over. He was an acquaintance - Xu Quan. He was holding a wooden box.

Qin Li asked: "My lord, do you have any orders?"

Xu Quan smiled and said: "It's a reward from the Lord."

I don’t know what’s inside, but the box is quite heavy despite its small size.

The check-up said everything was fine, but Shiitake still felt a little painful... Sigh, if I had known this, I wouldn't have sat on the toilet and read novels. What a sin!
