Chapter 68: Easier to die than to live

That night, the city of Yangnan flowed with blood. The prefect Sun Wei, the chief minister Pang Ji, and the 10,000 defenders all died in Yangnan.

Bai Qi came to Xiao Chen with two wine glasses and handed a glass of wine to Xiao Chen.

After a faint glance at the wine glass in Bai Qi's hand, Xiao Chen chuckled, did not take it, turned and left the place. Behind him, only two cold corpses were left, lying quietly on the ground.

Looking at Xiao Chen's retreating back, Bai Qi had a thoughtful look on his face, and then poured the two glasses of wine directly into his mouth. Behind Xiao Chen, Ouyang Xu walked up to Bai Qi , took a deep look at the latter, raised his hands and said: "General, do I still need to stay with Prince Xiao?"

Looking at Ouyang Xu who was covered in blood in front of him, Bai Qi chuckled and said: "Prince Xiao just killed Sun Wei and Pang Ji. After this incident, his situation will probably be more dangerous. The more at this time, the less likely you are to I have no reason to leave Prince Xiao. I only have one request. Before returning to Yong'an, no matter what method you use, you must protect Xiao Chen safe and sound."

Ouyang Xu nodded slowly and quickly followed Xiao Chen who was gradually walking away...

The next day, the news about Yangnan last night spread all over the world like a river bursting its banks. Until the news came out, the outside world thought this matter was too crazy. They really couldn't believe that Bai Qi and others were so bold. , Dare to launch an attack on the border town of Guizhou within the territory of Guizhou. From the standpoint of Guizhou, this is undoubtedly a provocation and attack. While the people of the world were shocked by the news, they were also curious about how the Guizhou Congress would react.

In the post house, Xiao Chen sat alone on the stone bench. That night, Xiao Chen hardly closed his eyes for a moment, because as long as he closed his eyes, the deaths of Sun Wei and Pang Ji would appear from Xiao Chen's mind like a slideshow. What flashed through his mind, especially Sun Wa's laughter when she died, was like a nightmare that lingered in Xiao Chen's heart, unable to go away or go away.

At that moment, Xiao Chen suddenly understood why Ouyang Xu wanted to die that day. It was not difficult to rush to the battlefield and die in battle, but what was difficult was to live with a mountain-like pressure on his back.

The courtyard door slowly opened, and Ji Wushuang dressed in civilian clothes stepped into the courtyard.

Looking at Xiao Chen who was in a daze on the stone bench, Ji Wushuang smiled slightly and said solemnly: "After Sun Wei and others died, Yangnan was already an empty city. Just last night, Bai Qi had left Yangnan with the other five princes. At this time, the only person left in Yangnan, a land of right and wrong..."

Xiao Chen smiled hoarsely and said: "So what you are saying is that as long as I leave Yangnan, people in the world will not condemn me for killing Sun Wei and others in Yangnan? You know, what happened last night, Bai Qi He is the mastermind, but I am the executioner who kills people. The world today scolds me, Xiao Chen, no less than General Bai. Wherever I go, the result will be the same."

Ji Wushuang shrugged and said: "Of course that is the case, but does the prince know that Ye Han of Guizhou is leading two thousand battle camps and is heading to Yangnan at starry night. If the prince stays here, he may become Ye Han's first The goal of venting."

The smile on Xiao Chen's face became even stronger, but there was a touch of sarcasm in the smile, and he said: "Since sir, you knew that this day would come, you shouldn't have sent people to burn down the prefect's mansion last night. You couldn't afford the fire." , not that many people died last night.”

Listening to the accusation in Xiao Chen's words, Ji Wushuang was not angry, but said calmly: "People are going to die after all, it just depends on whether his death has value and meaning, but at least in my opinion, the person who died last night Everyone deserves to die."

A look of surprise finally appeared on Xiao Chen's face, and he looked at Ji Wushuang, who had a dull face, and said, "That's more than 10,000 lives!"

Ji Wushuang smiled and asked, "So what?"

Xiao Chen's eyelids twitched slightly, he looked at Ji Wushuang and said, "In Mr.'s eyes, are these more than 10,000 lives so worthless?"

Ji Wushuang did not answer this question, but the coldness in his eyes said everything.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen waved his hands and said, "Sir, I want to be quiet for a while."

"Okay!" Ji Wushuang nodded, "By the way, because the prince personally killed Sun Wei, the prefect of Yangnan last night, many Confucian scholars in the Wei Kingdom believed that the prince's move would bring disaster to the Wei Kingdom. At this time

, these Confucian scholars are meeting to set off from Wei State and head straight to Yangnan. Maybe it won't be long before they arrive in Yangnan."

Xiao Chen nodded and waved his hand gently.

Not to mention that Xiao Chen hates these scholars so much, the Guizhou Kingdom did not raise an army to hold him accountable for the incident in Yangnancheng, but it was Xiao Chen who was the first person in the Wei Kingdom not to let him go. This makes people sigh and sigh, this world is such a drama.

Bai Qi left. Just after the bloodbath in Yangnan last night, Bai Qi led the other five princes and went straight to the capital of Guizhou, killed the prefect of Guizhou, and dared to go to the capital of Guizhou so arrogantly. This kind of courage was seen all over the place.

I'm afraid there will be only Bai Qi in the world for a few days.

But Xiao Chen knew that the reason why Bai Qi did this was because he didn't know how to face the hundreds of thousands of people in Yangnan. With a butcher's knife in his hand, even if Bai Qi could do whatever he wanted, he was afraid that the world would not forgive him.

He, what Bai Qi said is actually wrong. Having power does not mean that you can do whatever you want.

Just when Xiao Chen was stunned, a rush of sound suddenly came from outside the courtyard door. Xiao Chen looked up and unexpectedly found that the person standing at the door of the courtyard was Du Yingying.

Seeing that she was discovered by Xiao Chen, Du Yingying was immediately at a loss and prepared to flee in a panic.

Xiao Chen chuckled lightly, shook his head and said, "You're already here, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Maybe it was because Xiao Chen's words changed Du Yingying's mind, or maybe it was because Du Yingying didn't want to leave at all. After hearing these words, Du Yingying stopped where she was.

Standing up from the stone bench, Xiao Chen looked at Du Yingying who was at a loss and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Du Yingying twisted her cuffs with her fingers. After some hesitation, Du Yingying mustered up her courage and said, "Actually, I saw everything you did last night."

Xiao Chen was slightly startled, but soon regained his composure and said: "So, do you also want to come to denounce me?"

"No!" Du Yingying shook her head like a rattle and said, "I want to tell you that what happened last night was actually not what you wanted at all. There is no need for you to take it to heart."

Xiao Chen chuckled lightly, and was slightly surprised when he heard this. He did not expect that the first person to comfort him would be Du Yingying, who had always been at odds with him.

Sitting back on the stone seat, Xiao Chen murmured: "You can comfort me so calmly because you have never experienced the feeling of a life passing away in your hands. But just last night, I killed

Two people, maybe as you said, the death of those two people was not what I wanted, but it is undeniable that those two people died because of me, and this cannot be changed in this life."

Looking at the lonely Xiao Chen, Du Yingying didn't know what to say for a while. This was the first time she saw Xiao Chen like this since she met Xiao Chen.

After hesitating for a moment, Du Yingying walked into the small courtyard and sat down on the stone bench next to Xiao Chen. Du Yingying said softly: "Xiao Chen, everything has passed. You are the prince of Yong'an, and Yong'an's future depends on you.

In your hands, if you want to support Yong'an's burden, you must cheer up. The Xiao Chen I know has always been full of confidence, domineering and arrogant, right?"

Xiao Chen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said seriously: "People... will change."

Seeing Xiao Chen's solemn look, Du Yingying was startled for no reason. She always felt that there was something in Xiao Chen's words. But after thinking hard for a moment, Du Yingying couldn't figure out what Xiao Chen meant. She could only think to herself: "

No matter how you change, I will always believe that you are the same Xiao Chen, even if you are a little more unruly, even if you are a little ineffective, this is who you are."

Looking at the serious Du Yingying, Xiao Chen suddenly smiled, so happy and pure.

Looking at Xiao Chen who suddenly laughed heartily, Du Yingying said at a loss: "What are you laughing at?"

Shaking his head, Xiao Chen sighed helplessly: "I'm laughing. In fact, you are much more pure than me. With your temperament, it's a good thing that I kidnapped you into Prince Yong'an's Mansion that day, otherwise I would have let you wander the world.

Fan, I’m afraid that if someone sells me, I have to pay for it.”

Hearing the ridicule in Xiao Chen's words, Du Yingying immediately puffed up her chest in dissatisfaction and said: "I came to comfort you with good intentions, but you still make fun of me."

Seeing that Du Yingying seemed a little angry, Xiao Chen had no choice but to put away his teasing expression and said in a serious voice: "Maybe you think I am innocent, but people in the world don't think so. All this will not end just because a person dies.

On the contrary, all this has just begun. Killing the prefect of Guizhou in the territory of Guizhou. Let’s not talk about what the queen of Guizhou will do. At least those of us Wei Guo who think they are well-read in poetry and books, the third

No one can let go of me, Xiao Chen."

Du Yingying looked at Xiao Chen with some concern and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Smiling slightly, Xiao Chen said lightly: "You also know that I, Xiao Chen, hate those scholars the most. If they really dare to come to Yangnan and point fingers at me, I will tell them whether they will come back or go back."

Du Yingying opened her mouth wide, obviously frightened by Xiao Chen's "bold words".

Seeing Du Yingying's serious look, Xiao Chen smiled hoarsely, this Du heroine is really cute...

Shaking his head, Xiao Chen said solemnly: "I can only dare to think this way. If I really kill these Confucian scholars, I am afraid that the world's verbal and written criticism will never let me, Xiao Chen, go."

Du Yingying breathed a long sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "Xiao Chen, you scared me to death. I thought you really wanted to kill them."

The smile on his face did not diminish, but at the moment Du Yingying couldn't see it, Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold and ice-like shadow.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I won't do anything to a group of scholars..."
