Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 448: I am about to break my trust
"Gentlemen, am I walking too fast?"
The soldiers leading the way saw that Ji Yuan and Chang Yi could not keep up with him, so they thought that they were walking too fast. After all, the two behind them were just scholars, and they had said before that Ji Yuan had taken a carriage when they came. Came here, but got off the bus early.
Ji Yuan quickly said to the sergeant.
"Don't worry, Master, we can keep up!"
Chang Yi also nodded on the side.
This actually made the soldier a little embarrassed, and he scratched his head.
"Two gentlemen, don't call me that. You are learned people. I am just a soldier. I can stop the enemy, but if we want everyone to live a good life, we still have to rely on you."
Unexpectedly, this little soldier had such an awareness. Ji Yuan couldn't help but look at him one more time, and then he and Chang Yi quickened their pace slightly.
Most of the surrounding soldiers were looking at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, two people who were obviously not dressed as soldiers, and speculated on who they were and what they were doing.
The city is not big, slightly smaller than the county seat of Dahe County. After walking around for a while, I finally came to a building in the center of the city. Not only was it larger than other buildings, but there were also many soldiers standing guard.
"Two gentlemen, this is the general's mansion in our city. Liao Sima is also here on weekdays, but you two have to meet the general first before you can go see Liao Sima."
"As it should be."
Ji Yuan responded, and the leading soldier ran to the mansion to report.
Not long after, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi met the general in the city. He was neither fierce nor tall and handsome, but looked unattractive, but all the soldiers respected him extremely.
At this moment Ji Yuan and Chang Yi were standing in a hall. There was a big table in the room with a large map covered with marks. The general sat on the chair behind the big table and looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi. Chang Yi.
He had the handwriting of the Beimen Military Marquis in his hand, indicating that he had compared the documents repeatedly and cross-examined the two of them.
"You came from Zhongdao County? We haven't received supplies for a long time. What's the situation there? The last time we sent messengers, they were perfunctory and said they would deliver military rations and supplies to us as soon as possible. , but now there’s not even a piece of pig iron!”
The general stood up from his position and pointed to a certain spot on the map.
"We have been guarding here for three years. I have lost count of how many battles we have fought in these three years and how many brothers have died. But what about our supplies and our military expenses? I even know that some brothers will save The military expenses that came down were entrusted to the rear, but these military expenses were not actually sent home. I am afraid they were in the pocket of some official!"
There were three people in the room, the general and Ji Yuan Changyi, but his words were not loud because he was afraid of being heard by the brothers outside, but the general's words were very powerful, and a strong evil aura hit him. .
As cultivators of immortality, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi can clearly feel the power of blood evil in it. Ordinary monsters and demons are afraid of it. However, for cultivators of immortality like them, it is not enough. .
Ji Yuan could only cup his hands and replied calmly.
"General, Mr. Chang and I are not officials of the Yuanzhao Kingdom. We just asked for a document and came here to deliver a message. We don't know about the military pay and food. I hope the general will understand."
"Yes, Mr. Ji and I came all the way from Liao Zhengbao's hometown and didn't know anything about this matter."
In the past, Chang Yi would have been polite and courteous, but he would not have said so much to a mortal. It was not that he looked down upon him, but there was no need to waste such effort. Mortals were too stubborn and it would be fine if a sentence did not make sense.
But at this moment, it is not only because of following Ji Yuan, but also because the mortals in front of me are indeed worthy of admiration, or in other words, the soldiers in this city are all respectable people.
"Huh..."
The general exhaled, calmed down and sat down again.
"You two gentlemen must be frightened. This matter really has nothing to do with you. I shouldn't lose my temper with you."
The general has his helplessness, and the soldiers in this city have their own helplessness. They cannot retreat. If they retreat, what will happen to the rear of Yuanzhao Kingdom? Moreover, the order to guard has been there, and there is no way to retreat.
"By the way, you two have been on your way. Do you have any other news? No need to talk about military and government affairs, just talk about the public sentiment!"
Chang Yi glanced at Ji Yuan, seeming hesitant to talk about what happened before, but Ji Yuan still nodded to him, and the latter spoke.
"A great plague broke out in Yuanzhao Kingdom the day before yesterday, sweeping at least one-third of the country. Countless people were infected, and those who died were unaccounted for."
"What!?"
The general sat up straight, clutching the wooden handle of the chair with both hands, making a squeaking sound.
"Plague, what's going on now? Is Changgu Road County affected by the epidemic?"
Ji Yuan said.
"The plague has been brought under control. As long as the follow-up management is proper, it should not break out again. However, the people who died in the plague cannot be resurrected... As for the specific places affected by the disaster, we are not too clear, mainly because we don't know the names of the places. ”
When the general heard this, he showed a face that was neither crying nor smiling.
"Proper governance...the court...forget it, I have sent someone to inform Liao Sima, and they should arrive soon."
"Thank you, General!"
"Well, it's a good thing that my brothers have news about their families... By the way, come here, show these two gentlemen some tea!"
After hearing the order, a sergeant came in and made a promise before going out again.
After waiting for a while, a tall and burly man in leather armor walked quickly along with the two sergeants, with excitement and joy clearly on his face.
"Where is the letter from home? Where is the letter from home?"
Liao Zhengbao's voice was very loud, and the sound was already rumbling here before anyone arrived. He looked very different from his father's honest appearance.
Walking into the hall, Liao Zhengbao first saluted the general with fists in his hands, and then looked at Ji Yuan.
"Where's the letter from home? Where's the letter from home? Have my parents finally replied to my letter? It's not easy to find someone who can write letters from home. There's no money left at home to buy pen and ink. I've been looking forward to this letter for a long time, and it's finally here! ”
Liao Zhengbao was very excited. From his words, it was easy to tell that he had written more than one letter home, but none of them actually reached his family.
Ji Yuan sighed slightly, just held his hands towards him and said seriously.
"It was not written down, it was just a message and token."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan took out an arm-length object that had been wrapped in cloth from his back and handed it to Liao Zhengbao, who quickly untied it layer by layer, revealing a wooden sword inside.
The wooden sword is also engraved with a small figure and several bars.
With tears in his eyes, Liao Zhengbao carefully touched the wooden sword made by his father when he was a child, as if he had seen the happy time of his childhood.
"It's mine. It's the wooden sword my father made for me. I didn't expect it to still be there. It's still there. I obviously couldn't find it before I joined the army! It's it..."
Liao Zhengbao suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi.
"How are my parents? How are the people in the village?"
Ji Yuan answered solemnly.
"Don't worry, Liao Sima. Your father and mother are both very good. They are healthy and can eat and sleep. Not only that, your father also mobilized the whole village to build a cemetery to find a burial place for the remains he encountered in the wilderness. He was buried in a place where he was known to be a good person."
"Oh oh oh, that's good, that's good!"
Ji Yuan finally smiled and said.
"By the way, they still have children all the time. You have a younger brother, Liao Baogui, who is six years old."
"Yes, yes!"
Liao Zhengbao looked happy, clutching the wooden sword tightly with both hands, and then patted his thigh.
"Oh, then this wooden sword should be left for my brother to play with. Why did you bring it to me? A message would be enough. By the way, what message did my parents bring to me?"
"Uh..."
Ji Yuan has always been a good talker. He has saved lives and reversed situations with his words many times, but this time he was rarely at a loss for words. Then he took a step closer to Liao Zhengbao and whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
"The two elders of the Liao family hope that you can go home. They have not returned home for many years after serving in the army. They miss you very much."
Liao Zhengbao was slightly startled, looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, then looked at the other people in the room, and spoke directly.
"Let me go back?"
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became dead silent. Several soldiers on the side looked at Liao Zhengbao, and even the general subconsciously sat upright and looked at him.
When Liao Zhengbao spoke loudly, Ji Yuan and even Chang Yi already vaguely knew what answer he would give.
Liao Zhengbao has been looking at the wooden sword in his hand since he finished speaking. He was silent for a long time before a deep voice came out of his mouth.
"You two are so capable, can you make me return home?"
Chang Yi looked at Ji Yuan and saw that he was silent, so he opened his mouth to answer.
"This matter is not difficult for me and Mr. Ji. The fact that we can obtain official documents and have someone send us here is enough to prove this point."
"Haha, the two gentlemen are just two useless scholars. Although there are many wine bags and rice bags in the back, there are still clearances, and the government is not a decoration. It may be easy to get an official document, but if I go back like this, If you are found to be a defector, you will be beheaded. Your family will be implicated, and you may be implicated too!"
Chang Yi continued.
"This is a small matter and can be solved."
"Hahaha, I don't believe it!"
As he spoke, Liao Zhengbao raised his head and glanced at Chang Yi, then continued to look at the wooden sword.
The general on the seat hesitated to speak, and once again clenched the armrests with both hands. His inner struggle was not much less than that of Liao Zhengbao. Just when he was about to say that he could help, Liao Zhengbao suddenly looked up. Jiyuan and Changyi.
"Two gentlemen! Thank you for bringing me news from home. This wooden sword... is given to my brother for me!"
Liao Zhengbao handed the wooden sword back to Ji Yuan, his words seemed firm.
"My father established the cemetery and is a well-known good man in the village. Of course his son cannot be disgraced and become a deserter. There are brothers of mine at home, and there are also brothers here! Can you please go back and tell my father, mother and brother about the future? Zhengbao will return home in triumph, but now...I won't go back...oh..."
Liao Zhengbao’s last breath was filled with vibrato.
Ji Yuan sighed softly, patted Chang Yi on the shoulder, shook his head slightly, and then said to Liao Zhengbao.
"Are you sure you make this decision?"
Chang Yi couldn't help but answer.
"Do you know who Mr. Ji and I are? Do you know that if you go back, not only will you be reunited with your family, but you will also receive blessings that are rare for ordinary people. Do you know..."
"Do you know the friendship I have with thousands of brothers in the city? Do you know how much pain I will have in my heart when I leave them alone? Just thinking about it just now makes my conscience uneasy!"
Liao Zhengbao didn’t wait for Chang Yi to finish, and went to Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com shouted at him with red eyes.
"I know these two gentlemen must be capable people, I know! But I have already decided, thank you very much!"
Chang Yi was not angry after being contradicted in this way. Instead, he nodded towards Liao Zhengbao with a smile, and then took out a talisman from his sleeve. The light flashed in Ji Yuan's eyes, but in the eyes of those around him, In his eyes, it was just a "ghost painting charm".
"Here, this is the peace and blessing your parents have asked for for you. They want you to carry it with you at all times. You can't refuse this, right?"
Liao Zhengbao was stunned again, then quickly grabbed it and took it.
"Why don't you take this out earlier? Of course I will take it with me!"
Ji Yuan looked at this scene with a smile, nodded to Chang Yi and then looked at Liao Zhengbao and the sitting general.
"In this case, Mr. Chang and I have broken our trust!"
