Chapter 288(2/3)
"I don't know either." Zheng Zan said, "What should we do?"
At the top of the city, Yang Xuan walked to the bloody man's side and knelt down on one knee.
The bloody man opened his eyes, forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty."
Yang Xuan stretched out his hand to feel his pulse and shook his head at the deputy general, indicating that this man had returned to his former glory.
"General Zhang."
The bloody man moved slowly and said, "It's worth it."
"You're not bad either."
"Is Yecheng saved?"
"Saved."
"Possible pursuit?"
Yang Xuan shook his head, "No."
"With one strike, the thieves will be defeated."
"I'm exhausted."
"That's right." Zhang Chunqiu said with a smile: "This is the Southern Zhou Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty."
"You are a smart man. If so, why do you live on free wages?"
“Had to eat.”
"Why?"
"If you want to be promoted, you have to please your superior. If you don't have money, you can't find a way."
"Promotion?"
"Yes! I thought that this place is not far from Bianjing, so there would be no thieves. But I didn't expect that there was a group of thieves recently..."
"They are rioters."
"They swept through a lot of places."
"Why don't you report it?"
"I want to retaliate, but I don't dare."
"Why?"
"If something like this happens in the local area, in order to shirk the blame, they will throw me out. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that my family will be implicated."
"So you just concealed it and refused to report it? What if it broke out?"
"One day is too late to die. Maybe the thief has gone elsewhere."
"Understood."
Zhang Chunqiu slowly turned his eyes and looked at Wang Zhong from the side, "My family..."
His right hand flicked for a moment, then fell limply.
A sigh.
Those eyes refused to close.
Qin Jian sighed, "He is a good man, how about... help him?"
"I really want to help him, but the more things like this in Southern Zhou, the better." Yang Xuan stretched out his hand to wipe Zhang Chunqiu's eyelids.
Eyelids drooped.
Let go.
It bounced back again.
Yang Xuan wiped it again, but it was still the same.
The old thief came over and took a look, "Lang Jun, this person is afraid that he has some unfulfilled wish, so he refuses to close his eyes."
Is this the muscle at work?
Yang Xuan smiled.
Apply it again.
His eyelids still slid back, and his eyes suddenly looked at Yang Xuan.
Damn it!
The old thief said: "Back then, the villain encountered someone who remembered on his epitaph that he did not close his eyes after death and cursed his enemies and their entire families to die before he died."
"What's the result?"
"All dead."
Yang Xuan looked at the corpse carefully.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Jian was so exhausted that he couldn't get up even after sitting down.
"I forgot one thing just now."
"What's the matter?"
"I should let him curse the Southern Zhou Dynasty and destroy it."
Qin Jian: "..."
Old thief: "..."
Yang Xuan looked at those eyes and felt guilty, so he asked: "How can I make him close his eyes?"
The old thief said: "Promise him."
Qin Jian asked: "What did he just say?"
Yang Xuan said: "I want his family to be safe."
Qin Jian said: "Try?"
Yang Xuan reached out and covered Zhang Chunqiu's eyes.
"I promise you, your family... will be safe."
He raised his hand.
Those eyes that were unwilling to close their eyes before.
It's closed now.
A stream of cold air rushed down from the top of his head.
The spring was bright, but Yang Xuan felt like he was in an ice cellar.
"This thief joins the army, and when he returns, he and his family will be exiled to a barbaric land!"
Yuan Xiao felt that he had been exposed in this battle, so he gritted his teeth and vowed to take revenge on Zhang Chunqiu, while shirking responsibility.
Yang Xuan stood up slowly, "Let his family go."
Yuan Xiao shook his head, "Your Majesty, this is a state matter of the Southern Zhou Dynasty."
"But the defense of the city before was also a state matter of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and it was none of my business!"
"Your Majesty, these two things cannot be compared."
"Let it go or not?"
"I'm sorry, but I obey!"
Choking!
The horizontal knife was unsheathed and placed on Yuan Xiao's neck.
Yang Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Let it go or not?"
Yuan Xiao said calmly: "Your Majesty just takes action."
Previously, this person was greedy for life and fearful of death when the thieves attacked the city, and showed his ugly face. But now he is impassioned and fearless of death.
"Civil officials are so shameless!"
Wang Laoer squatted next to the old prisoner.
The old man nodded, "The most shameless people in the world are officials."
The old thief came over and said, "Lang Jun promised Zhang Chunqiu that he would protect his family."
The old man sneered, "They all deserve to die!"
This man is a bit cynical!
The old thief wanted to argue, but when he saw the spear beside the old thief, he couldn't help but change his face to a smile, "Do you want dried meat?"
Over there, Yang Xuan moved his hand lightly.
"Ouch!"
Yuan Xiao felt a sharp pain in his neck, and something was flowing down. He was so distraught that he screamed: "Let it go, let it go!"
