War Paradise

When the general and his guards stepped into the guard barracks together, the already heavy air in the hall seemed to freeze completely.

Shen Wenchong, who was still talking before, and the leader of the guard, Ren You, were silent at this time, their eyes fixed on the tall and dark figure.

The general was wearing a set of dark heavy armor, and the shape of the wolf head on the shoulders was very conspicuous. The guard behind him was blood-red, as if he had just crawled out of The Underworld blood pool.

"General Qin..." A member of the guard made a trembling voice.

"Polite remarks are spared." The eyes exposed in the crevices of General Qin's helmet curled up, like a wolf seeing the prey: "You should know, why on earth did I come here?"

"It's the Young Master's business." Ren You replied softly.

"That's it." General Qin's voice became deeper and deeper, standing in front of Ren You, condescendingly overlooking the "pseudo mother" who commanded the guards: "Do you have anything to say? Ren You?"

After getting a chance to explain, Ren You immediately said, "I'm sorry about the young master, but..."

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, Ren You's body tilted aside and fell to the ground feebly. The original delicate face was covered with dark red blood stains.

"I don't want to hear these explanations, Ren You." General Qin, who had just knocked down Ren You, took a step forward, and kicked the opponent's abdomen again: "I want to know, you and these people under you, How can we assume this responsibility?"

boom! boom!

Two big feet were kicking on Ren You again, and the rest of the guard gritted their teeth, but couldn't say much.

——In any case, Young Master’s Death is an indisputable fact. As the guards responsible for protecting the young master, it is inevitable that they will suffer cruel punishment.

"Please listen to me……"

Ren You tried hard to speak, but General Qin's iron boots didn't give him this opportunity at all. With a strong kick, Ren You's body curled into a ball, and the words he wanted to say turned into painful sobbing.

"You are all people who came out of my hands. I warned you a long time ago that soldiers must perform their own tasks well. See what you have done? Let the young master go out and die by yourself? This is the existence of you people. significance?"

Even when he was reprimanding the members of the guards, General Qin's voice was still very calm, but his relentless big feet still exposed the fact that he was very angry at the moment.

Looking down at Ren You, who fell to the ground, General Qin sighed for a long time. To the members of the guards present, read the death penalty order:

"The young master is dead, and you don’t have any need for existence. The guard camp has been surrounded. Tomorrow morning, you will be all killed. When the new lord of Flamewind City takes the throne, I will select a more reliable one than you Candidates to become the personal guards of the lord."

After speaking, General Qin turned around without hesitation and left. At this moment, Shen Wenchong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke:

"What if this is just a well-planned conspiracy?"

"..."

All eyes in the room were on Shen Wenchong's face. General Qin, who had just turned around and took a step, also stopped suddenly:

"What do you want to express? Shen Wenchong."

Adding the name of the interlocutor at the end of each sentence is exactly what General Qin used to speak. But what Shen Wenchong did not expect was that General Qin still remembered his name after so many years.However, there is no time to care about these details now. The life and death of the entire guard rests on his shoulders:

"General, don't you think it's weird?"

"Don't sell Guanzi, Shen Wenchong."

The dark figure leaned in front of Shen Wenchong, and the big fist covered by heavy metal gloves suddenly clenched: "If you have anything to say, you can only live a little longer anyway."

"The guard did not protect the young master because it received other tasks. The chancellor issued an order to escort us important goods." Shen Wenchong looked down at Ren You and said, "Is that right?"

"It's..." Ren You spat out a mouthful of blood.

"At that time, the Guard also mentioned escorting the Young Master. But the Chancellor of Finance said that he contacted the general and said that you sent an elite force to escort the Young Master." Shen Wenchong continued, "Have you received the news?"

"Nonsense, I haven't received any news." The general's answer was very decisive, and it didn't seem to be a lie at all.

Being blocked by the helmet, Shen Wenchong could not see the general's expression. He knew very well that if the general had also participated in the rebellion, if he continued speaking, it would only lead to the killing of all the guards here. but……

"I suspect that the Chancellor of Finance planned this assassination." Shen Wenchong's tone was categorical: "If he didn't tell you about the escort, it is likely that he was doing a ghost."

As soon as these words came out, the barracks hall was again shrouded in silence, except for Ren You's painful grunt, everyone fell into silence.

"Do you know what you are talking about? Shen Wenchong."

The general who broke the silence spoke much slower than before: "You are accusing the foundation of Flamewind City, the minister of finance who has worked hard for this territory, and betrayed the young master of Flamewind City?"

"I just made this guess." Shen Wenchong didn't mean to shrink at all, and stood calmly in front of the angry general: "Since you don't believe it, go to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to confront you, isn't it clear?"

"Nonsense!"

The general's sudden roar made the guards in the room tremble. As if ignited by Shen Wenchong's remarks, General Qin's voice almost overturned the ceiling of the barracks:

"When did I teach you to shirk responsibility? I even blamed the Chancellor of the Exchequer? Based on your side words, do you think I will trust you? Shen Wenchong!"

boom!

A heavy fist hit Shen Wenchong's right shoulder. He staggered and retreated two steps, but he quickly straightened his back and returned to the general again:

"This is not my side word." A blood stain leaked from the corner of Shen Wenchong's mouth.

"Who else?" The general looked around. "Who agrees with his views?"

None of the guards present dared to make a sound. The only Ren You who wanted to speak could only make a painful grunt at this time.

Seeing that the others did not speak, General Qin clenched his fists. Before he took another shot, Shen Wenchong finally spoke:

"It's the young master."

"..."

Hearing this, another silent bomb detonated in the barracks. Even the general's extreme anger turned into complete consternation:

"Shen Wenchong, you said the young master is still alive?"

"Yes." Shen Wenchong stared at the general's helmet without blinking, trying to find clues from the opponent's eyes and movements.

"If you are lying to me, I will break your body into pieces, Shen Wenchong."

General Qin's words were threatening, but he kept shaking his head from side to side, as if he was looking around.

And this kind of situation, Shen Wenchong also saw a long time ago.

——As a legend in the Flame Wind Army, various anecdotes about General Qin are widely circulated. "When the general is in ecstasy, he will keep looking around." This incident has become an open secret.

When the Yanfeng Army won the victory, Shen Wenchong once saw General Qin make similar moves. And now, since he is already looking around, that is to say...

"Tell me, where is Young Master?" General Qin snapped.

"I can't tell you yet." Shen Wenchong lowered his head: "Because, I cannot be sure whether you participated in the rebellion."

As soon as this was said, the other guards on the scene began to retreat silently.

——Under normal circumstances, if someone dared to say this to General Qin, they would definitely be chopped into meat sauce on the spot.

But this time, General Qin didn't furious, just grabbed Shen Wenchong's shoulders with both hands and pressed his wounds with a dull pain:

"Where is the young master? Shen Wenchong."

"You can go with me, but you can only bring these guards." Shen Wenchong turned his gaze to the red-armored soldier behind the general: "If you make any action that threatens the safety of the young master, I will stand on the side of the young master. ."

"No problem, just take me to see the young master." General Qin agreed happily.

——It seems that the general is not a traitor?

At this point, Shen Wenchong, who had been observing General Qin, was relieved a lot.

But even so, he was still very alert:

In many places in the Flame Wind Palace, only people with the blood of the lord are allowed to enter and exit, and the young lord should be able to talk to the general in an absolutely safe position.

In addition, if the general suddenly departs, although he doesn't have the protection of the mechanical device, it should be no problem if he wants to hold the general to fight for the young master to escape.

What's more, the organ technique device on his body is now on the young master. Even if there is an accident, the young master can escape...

"Forgive me, young master." Shen Wenchong secretly said in his heart.

He also knew that there was still a certain danger in confronting the young master and the general on the spot. But now, in order to protect the innocent guard comrades, he has no other way.

——Instead of being executed all the staff, let the traitors do their best in Flamewind City. It's better to take this opportunity to end all this and completely punish those traitors!

"General, please follow me."

Shen Wenchong looked at General Qin, and then at his own comrades: "I have a request not to hurt the members of the guard, they are innocent. If I lied, it will not be too late to kill us again."

"This is your last chance..." General Qin whispered.

He waved his hand, and the two red-armored soldiers next to him came forward, grabbed Shen Wenchong's arms, and led him out of the guard barracks, back to the gloomy night.

"Lead the way, Shen Wenchong."

"Young Master is in the Flame Wind Palace." Shen Wenchong whispered.After they left, in the guard barracks, the guards were still looking at each other, digesting the information they had just received:

"Young Master is still alive...How is this possible?" A guard patted Own's cheek vigorously, as if to make sure if he was dreaming.

"Shen Wenchong, that kid can't lie." The big man next to him shook his head vigorously: "Have you ever seen him lying? No one is more honest than him..."

"Are you okay?" Several guards helped Ren You who fell on the ground and let his bruised body lean on the wooden chair in the hall: "We will bandage you right away..."

"It's no longer necessary." Ren You bowed his head and spitting blood: "I can survive this little injury."

Having said that, he looked at the steps leading to the second floor of the barracks, suddenly lowered his voice, and said to the subordinates present: "Shen Wenchong just sent me a signal, you should use the carrier pigeon to contact the Flame Wind Palace, the speed should be faster than the generals. Faster."

"When?" The guards widened their eyes in surprise: "Why didn't I see?"

"Are you scared at the time?" Ren You sighed: "I can see clearly, his right hand made a signal."

As the guards of the lord, the guards indeed mastered special code words, which can be used in situations where it is not easy to speak. For example, when the lord participates in a meeting, secretly exchange information. Or it is to quietly mark possible dangerous people, and when the other party thinks that he has not revealed his identity, he directly kills them all.

However, in the situation just now, the guards who were sentenced to death did not notice Shen Wenchong's small movements. Only Ren You, who fell to the ground, saw the signal sent by Shen Wenchong:

"What do you want to write in the contact letter?" a guard asked.

"Be prepared, I brought the general here." Ren You wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

After receiving the message to be sent, several guards immediately rushed to the second floor to send the message. A miserable smile appeared on Ren You's swollen face:

"In this way, the young master is really not dead... and we won't be executed."

...

At the same moment, in the room of the Young Master of the Flame Wind Palace, there was still one after another snoring.

Lin Chi kicked Shu Xiao down, lay down on the young master's big bed, and slept beautifully. Perhaps because she was too sleepy, Shu Xiao who fell to the ground still did not wake up, still snoring happily.

Due to the rules of the safe house, Lin Chi didn't worry at all that his brother and sister would kill him. Shu Yao, who was still awake, sat down at the young master’s desk, picked up the documents and read:

"So many words... it's great..."

Even though she has been struggling to survive in the slum, the girl's deep thirst for knowledge is still strong. She likes the words of Yanfeng City very much, but it's a pity that she didn't have much chance to read it before.

For Shu Yao, this room was like a dazzling treasure house, filled with the knowledge she wanted.

She read the documents enthusiastically for a while, and finally she felt sleepy. When she was yawning, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

At midnight, even the smallest sound will become very obvious. Shu Yao was about to speak, but saw the young master lying on the bed, sitting up straight.

"I'm still sleeping... Your uncle..."

Lin Chi muttered in a low voice, interrupted the sound transmission in his consciousness, stood up and walked to the door, reaching out and holding the handle.

"Who is it?" Shu Yao asked curiously.

"Don't be nervous." The young master who hasn't opened his eyes smiled: "It's my old friend."
