34. Chapter 34 The Wrath of the General
Su Qin was stunned and dodged to avoid it, but the distance was too close and he couldn't completely dodge it. He was still hit by a crossbow on his left shoulder, which penetrated into his muscles and hurt his heart and lungs. He shouted: "You are such a vicious villain, you actually hurt someone with a secret arrow."
." He was glad that he hid quickly, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
Su Qin reluctantly pointed the edge of his sword, and the tip of the sword knocked down Gongsun Yan's crossbow. Gongsun Yan ran away. Su Qin chased after him a few steps and caught up. The sword was placed on Gongsun Yan's neck, suppressing his anger and not stabbing out. At the beginning
, Su Qin became really angry and wanted to kill Gongsun Yan immediately, but after three rounds, he calmed down and sneered and said, "You can still show your teeth and claws with your little effort!"
Gongsun Yan captured Su Qin easily at first, thinking that he was incapable of restraining a chicken and was used to being crazy in front of Su Qin. Today, he was unexpectedly caught by Su Qin three times, and he regretted in his heart: "I had known that his martial arts skills were like this."
Well, why not deal with him that day so as not to leave any trouble?"
Su Qin's sword was already at his neck. How could Gongsun Yan dare to strike again? He arched his hands and begged for mercy: "Mr. Su, please forgive me. I, Gongsun Yan, am blind and have offended you. Please forgive me. I will never forgive you."
I don’t dare anymore.”
Su Qin said bitterly: "Next time, I will kill you. Get out of here." With that, he withdrew his sword.
Gongsun Yan and his two followers did not dare to pick up the knife. They all covered their wounds with their hands and were about to leave.
At this time, a group of cavalry was seen rushing over, led by the general Wei Han. After Wei Han arrived, he couldn't help but immediately ordered the soldiers to tie up Gongsun Yan and his two followers. He dismounted and inspected Su Qin's injuries.
Went to Wei Jia and nodded, seeing tears hanging from the corners of her eyes and her body soaking wet, I felt very distressed.
It turned out that Wei Yan crossed the river a little later than them. He got a report on the ferry that Gongsun Yan was chasing Su Qin and the boat was about to sink. Wei Yan was furious and wanted to kill Gongsun Yan with his own hands. He ordered the boatman to row the boat quickly.
, after arriving at the shore, he personally led a war horse and led the guards over.
Gongsun Yan bullied Su Qin, who was just a scholar. No matter how much Wei Yan loved him, he could not protect him. As everyone knew, there was also a pair of Wei Yan's son and daughter on the boat who had reunited after a long separation. If the boat was sunk, they would not be alive.
So how can Wei Xian not be anxious?
Wei Xian walked up to Gongsun Yan angrily and cursed: "I have repeatedly issued orders not to embarrass Su Qin and others. You ignored the general's orders and crashed the ship frantically, trying to kill people. What are your intentions?"
When Gongsun Yan was about to argue, he just opened his mouth, but Wei Yan could not let him speak. He slapped him with his mouth, and blood flowed from the corner of Gongsun Yan's mouth. He pursed his lips and wanted to say some soft words, but Wei Yan again
A slap in the mouth hit him until stars appeared in his eyes.
Wei Xuan scolded again: "I didn't let you attack the city easily, but you insisted on attacking, causing thousands of soldiers to die on the battlefield. You came back after a big defeat, and I didn't punish you. You kicked your nose in the face."
, very arrogant.”
After saying that, he ordered the guards around him to escort Gongsun Yan and his two followers, drag them to a secluded place, behead them, and return with their heads to kill them.
Seeing this, Su Qin wanted to persuade Wei Yan, but he really hated Gongsun Yan in his heart, so he simply held back and said nothing. The guards pushed Gongsun Yan and others to find a secluded place.
The guards pushed Gongsun Yan and the other three people out for about ten feet. They raised their swords and were about to execute them. Suddenly, a person rushed in front of them. Red flames flashed in front of their eyes. In the blink of an eye, the sword in their hands was struck by a knife.
The sword broke.
The person who came shouted: "Save people under the sword." As he said this, he waved the sword in his hand and stabbed the guards. The guards retreated and dodged. A group of people were stunned by the scorching red flames ignited by the sword in his hand.
He was forced back.
Su Qin and Wei Yan took a closer look and recognized that the person was Gao Sheng, the great son of the Mohist family in the West. Wei Yan was very unhappy and said: "Why did Mr. Gao block my general's order? Our army is not under your control. What are you doing?"
What’s the point?”
Gao Sheng's face turned red. Wei Xuan ridiculed him in public, which made him feel ashamed. However, Gongsun Yan had helped him, and he had to accept the favor, so even though he was embarrassed, he still had to plead for Gongsun Yan.
Gao Sheng said: "General Wei is too worried. How dare I, Gao Sheng, obstruct the general's order? I just reminded the general in good faith. How can you explain to the king that you killed your own deputy general for an unrelated Su Qin?"
Wei Yan replied coldly: "I did not kill him for Su Qin's sake. He did not listen to dissuasion the day before yesterday and suffered a complete defeat on the battlefield. Now he is disobeying military orders. Naturally, I have the right to kill him to comfort our soldiers who sacrificed their lives for no reason."
Seeing that Wei Yan still refused to let go, Gao Sheng felt anxious and quickly added: "It will not be difficult for the Lord of Wei to kill Gongsun Yan, because the general will not accept the order of the foreign king. However, we are on the way back to the country now, and it is not a battlefield. Please forgive me, general."
Let me say it bluntly: Gongsun Yan is guilty of defeat and how to deal with it. The monarch has his own opinion. Now he has not ordered punishment, but you kill him first. Aren't you afraid that the monarch will blame him and you will end up being killed? After all,
If the deputy general suffers a defeat, the general will also be jointly and severally responsible."
Wei Xuan became angry and thought: "I just killed him, so what? It's just a fight to death. I will risk my life to kill this animal to avoid future troubles." He was about to order Gongsun Yan to be pushed away again.
When he went out, he looked up and saw Su Qin waving his hands towards him anxiously and winking. He couldn't help but stop again.
Su Qin understood what Gao Sheng said. What Gao Sheng said was exactly Wei Yan's weakness: Gongsun Yan was defeated, and Wei Yan was also responsible. He didn't kill Gongsun Yan at that time, but he did it now. It was inevitable.
Gao Sheng gave people an excuse to avenge their private vengeance. After Gao Sheng returned, he said this in front of Qin Jun Ying Si. Wei Xian would be severely punished and imprisoned, and he might even be beheaded. He was reunited with his children, so why bother being separated again.
Su Qin couldn't bear to let Wei Han be imprisoned because of him, so he urgently signaled Wei Han to stop. Seeing that Wei Han was very determined, Su Qin felt very anxious and couldn't help but stand up and said: "There are a few things that the great master of the Mohist family said.
To be honest, Gongsun Yan's crime is indeed not worthy of death, and it is worthwhile to give a favor to the great son of the Mohist family. I hope General Wei will think twice."
After listening to Su Qin's words, Wei Xuan thought about it and understood the meaning of Su Qin's words: he was reminding himself that it was better to go with the flow and spare Gongsun Yan through Gao Sheng's plea, so that he could not only have a step to climb down, but also give up.
Gao Sheng is a favor, and after returning home, Gao Sheng may also say some kind words for himself in front of Ying Si.
Thinking of this, Wei Xuan said: "Well, for the sake of Mr. Gao Sheng, I will spare your life today, Gongsun Yan. However, you can avoid death penalty, but you cannot escape living penalty. Otherwise, who will obey my general order? Come here
, beat Gongsun Yan with two hundred military sticks, and beat his two followers with one hundred military sticks each."
Gao Sheng saw that Wei Han had already done him a great favor without killing Gongsun Yan, so it was hard to say anything else. The guards found military sticks and beat Gongsun Yan severely in front of Wei Han. Su Qin quickly led the boys from the music and dance class
The girls got on the carriage and left. It would be better if they didn't see the bloody scene.
Su Qin got on the carriage and remembered Gongsun Yan's exquisite crossbow machine again. He jumped down again and came to the place where the fight was just now. He picked up the crossbow machine and looked at its mechanism. He found that it had been damaged by the tip of the sword.
But Su Qin still carried it in his arms and wanted to think about it in the future.
At this time, Wei Xunze personally supervised the execution of the soldiers. He did not leave until he had finished watching the execution. After beating the two hundred soldiers with sticks, Gongsun Yan was already a bloody mess. Gao Sheng hurriedly called Gongsun Yan's men and ordered them to
