However, before dawn, an unexpected situation occurred in Fenggu Shacheng. After Gongchenya got the news, he made a prompt decision and ordered everyone to gear up the Yanying fleet and get ready to go.
The night is annihilating, and the dampness freezes the bones.
A dozen people climbed onto Yanying, while the remaining dozens sat on the baggage cart carrying weapons. The brazier standing in the camp roared high, but it could not dissipate the lingering chill all over the body.
Zheng Quchi was awakened. She raised her eyes, heard the movement on the ground, and ducked out of the cave.
As soon as they came out, the fire was blazing, and the whole cave was boiling, with many people and busy hands.
Xiao Meng was so cold that his teeth chattered. In the gap between the dazzling figures, he suddenly saw Zheng Quchi coming out. He wiped his nose and ran forward quickly: "Sister Chizi."
she shouted.
Zheng Quchi came out of the warm bed. The low temperature in the early morning directly blew away her sleepiness. She shivered, and her lips turned blue and white from the cold.
She looked over and, amid the noise, spoke louder: "Xiao Meng, what happened? What are you doing?"
Xiao Meng sniffed. She was wearing thin clothes and could only stomp her feet to relieve the freezing: "Sister Chizi, we have to go. I heard that Shacheng has started negotiations in advance. Sima has already led people to ask for a meeting with Ye Guo. Yama is gone.”
Zheng Quchi paused slightly and grabbed her arm: "Why are you so anxious? Can't you wait until dawn?"
"I don't know that. Anyway, brother Ya'er said that we must hurry up and follow the Sima troops. No matter what the outcome is, we must see the right time to rescue people."
Zheng Quchi frowned and slowly let go of Xiao Meng.
"Sister Chizi, it's too cold outside. Please go in quickly. We...we have to go."
Because Zheng Quchi was not a scavenger hunter, he naturally did not need to go into danger with them. After Xiao Meng finished speaking, he was about to run over to help.
Zheng Quchi's eyes were focused on a place in the void, and he stood quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, until a warm big hand took her hand.
"Are you stupid? You stay outside when it's so cold. Your hands are numb from the cold."
Gongchenya had a calm expression, and without saying a word, he pulled her into the cave, made her sit on the mud pit, and then bent down and lit a pine oil lamp in the niche.
Suddenly, there was a dim light in the dark cave, and their reflections overlapped on the wall.
"Why did you come out? Are you scared to be here alone?" Gongchenya asked her.
Zheng Quchi was not afraid, she was just in a depressed mood, as heavy as drowning.
"You're leaving?"
Gongchenya saw her serious expression, and he didn't know whether he was worried about them or had something else on his mind.
"Yes, I may be able to successfully rescue people this time and come back, or maybe... I won't be able to come back. Now, I have a jar of trauma medicine for you. I will also get you the food you collected. Yes, you can keep it for yourself."
Zheng Quchi watched him put down a bulging cloth bag from under his shoulder. This was some food she had found with great difficulty from the camp kitchen. She was embarrassed to eat and live in their home for nothing, so she gave these things to Xiao Meng. Accommodation fee only.
Knowing his good intentions, especially at this urgent moment, he still remembered to arrange her affairs first, which was really thoughtful.
"Thank you."
Gongchenya looked at her, suddenly approached her, and asked her: "Do you think we are stupid, risking so many lives just to save one person?"
Zheng Quchi didn't expect that he would ask her this, but she thought about it for a moment and shook her head.
She understands that sometimes choosing one life or choosing dozens of lives, which is more important and more important varies from person to person, just like the trolley problem of the world's top ten thought experiments.
Choose the track of one person or the track of five people.
When choosing based on utilitarianism, it is natural to save five and give up one.
But from a moral point of view, if you make a choice, you must bear some responsibility for the person who died unexpectedly.
But no matter what choice you make, you will bear the consequences of human life. This is the final idea of the so-called trolley problem. There is no completely moral behavior, and there is no completely correct choice.
She gave her own understanding: "If you think it's worth it, and they all think it's worth it, and are willing to follow you regardless of their lives, then this choice is not necessarily wrong. At least at this moment, it is the best decision made by all of you." s Choice."
Zheng Quchi could only say this. From the perspective of others, she knew nothing and did not understand what Yang Gu meant to them, so she had no advice or guidance, only respect and understanding of their choices.
Gongchenya was very close to her. This time, she did not lower her head deliberately or cover her face with the wide brim of her hat. In the dim light, he finally saw her complete appearance clearly.
Just like he imagined.
The small one, with big round light brown eyes, looks like some kind of cute and intelligent plush.
He smiled and curled his eyes, with a soft look in his eyes: "When I talk to you, I always feel that I am different from others. You also see the problem differently from others. Some of them advised me that it was too dangerous. Even if I kill you at this moment no matter the cost, So what if the person is rescued, there is no guarantee that he will die on the battlefield. Some people say that it is not worth it at all and it will only cost all of our lives in vain. Don’t do such a stupid thing."
"But you still did it without hesitation, right?"
If Mo Ye successfully exchanges the fake "Zheng Quchi" for Fenggu Shacheng and the two sides stop fighting, it means that the "opportunity" they want to pursue is very slim.
If they don't succeed, they will start an all-out war in the city. They want to take advantage of the chaos and rescue Yang Gu against the pressure from both sides. This is also a bold, dangerous and dangerous thing.
The best outcome is that Yu Wensheng will let go of coach Yang Gu, but when I think about it, it seems impossible, unless the Julu Kingdom is willing to pay a huge price in exchange for the survival of the defeated general.
But Yang Gu is just a garrison commander in Fenggu, a border town in Julu. Compared with Yu Wensheng, he is just outnumbered among the generals in Julu Kingdom. If he dies, Julu Kingdom can send another commander in a minute. Come and take his place.
Therefore, they all understood that Yang Gu was destined to be "buried" in the hands of the enemy generals because of this failure to defend the city, unless someone could rescue him from Yu Wensheng.
Unlike Zheng Quchi who listened to the advice, Gongchenya looked like a good boy, but in reality he was completely rebellious and lived only for his passion.
"Yes, I must save Yang Gu."
Zheng Quchi nodded: "Then I still say the same thing, I wish you a smooth journey and good luck."
Seeing her serious farewell look, Gongchenya's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled her petite shoulders over, and hugged her.
"What's the use of saying these vain words? I'm so flustered right now. Please lend me a hug."
Zheng Quchi didn't expect him to do this, and immediately pushed him with discomfort and resistance: "Are you a child? Do you need an adult to hold you to feel safe?"
"Hahahaha..." Gongchenya laughed happily after hearing this. He was still measured. After giving her a hug, he raised his hands and let her go.
"Zhi, if I can come back alive, I will definitely come to find you."
Zheng Quchi was stunned for a moment.
"What do you want from me?"
"Looking for you... to join us." He grinned, his black pearl-like pupils sparkling, as naughty and cute as a little white boy.
But in fact, those who truly understand Gongchenya know that the more he shows his harmless side to others, the deeper the goal he desires to achieve in his heart.
After Gongchenya left, the commotion on the ground quickly stopped. It was quiet in the night. I guess they had all left...
However, Zheng Quchi couldn't sleep. She cleared her mind and did a half-strength bone bending technique based on her current physical condition. When she was sweating slightly, it was already dawn.
Although he only slept for the first half of the night last night and spent the rest of the night practicing Jiu Gu Jutsu, Zheng Quchi was full of energy.
She found that Jiu-Jitsu bone was helpful for her recovery from injuries, but she could not perform large movements and had to pay attention to the wound to avoid it being broken. She could only activate the muscles and bones in a small way.
Now that Gongchenya and the others have left, Zheng Quchi will naturally not stay here anymore. She packed her things and planned to go to Julu Country to join the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild".
She spent the whole night thinking about how she would survive after leaving Ye Country and Fu County.
Master Li once said that once a woodwork work from the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild" is shortlisted, there will be a hefty bonus. For Zheng Quchi, who is currently penniless, it will be the only way she can think of to make money.
So, she had her goal.
Work hard to make money, and when she is able, she will return to Ye Country and bring her brother and sister together to reunite. As long as the family is together, anywhere can be a home.
She asked Xiao Meng, and it was said that the nearest Hecheng would have to be walked for several days and nights, and a transportation vehicle would be required. Just walking alone would take you who knows how long.
No wonder it is recorded in the book that the hungry people who were fleeing wanted to leave the disaster area and escape to other places. The journey took several months, which was really difficult.
When she walked onto the road, she was a little worried.
My mind can't help but think, is Mo Ye bringing a woman who looks exactly like her to plot against Yu Wensheng?
Will Yu Wensheng be fooled?
If Yu Wensheng found out that he had been deceived for the second time, would he really do something crazy in anger?
And if Gongchenya and the others rush to save people in a hurry, will they be killed by Yu Wensheng out of anger?
She swallowed, looking frustrated.
She is just an ordinary person, why should she be asked to shoulder such a heavy burden? !
The strange thing is Yu Wensheng, a bitch. Why did he tell everyone that he did all this to find his kidnapped wife? But she was the poor wife he almost killed.
In the end, she inexplicably changed from a victim to the flashpoint of this conflict!
Zheng Quchi really couldn't figure out what Yu Wensheng was thinking.
Thinking of the expression on his face when he wanted to kill her, with no joy or sadness, looking at her as if she were dead, she felt chills all over her body.
She thought she knew "Liu Fengmian" to some extent, but only after knowing that Yu Wensheng was "Liu Fengmian" did she realize how "self-righteous" she was.
She believed that it was not that she was escaping from reality, but that no one could face the fact that she, a beautiful and weak husband, suddenly turned into the murderous demon king that everyone talked about.
To put it bluntly, even if Liu Fengmian quarreled with her in the past, she was confident that he would be the only one who would be domestically abused. But now... if Yu Wensheng's bottle of killing god gets angry, she might not even dare to say a word. Just squeak.
And such a marriage relationship is fucked up.
She shook her bag and put it on her back, and when she left resolutely, she saw a few people running hurriedly from behind. They were also carrying large and small bags, looking like they were fleeing in panic.
She was feeling strange and wanted to call someone to ask, but no one paid any attention to her.
She looked behind them, but she didn't hear the hooves or footsteps of pursuing horses, and there was nothing dangerous following them.
After a while, several more people came running next to them. They all had green faces and white lips, and looked like they were frightened.
This time, she quickly grabbed someone and asked quickly: "Brother, what happened? Why are you running so fast?"
The man didn't want to pay attention to Zheng Quchi, but her hand was too strong and he couldn't break free. He could only reply to her: "Feng, Fenggu Shacheng is about to fight. This time it's not the two armies attacking the city, but Yu Wensheng." He’s going to go on a killing spree, he’s going to set fire to the whole city.”
After Zheng Quchi heard this, he was dumbfounded.
She couldn't believe it: "Why? Didn't you say that Sima Moye returned his wife? Does he keep his word?"
Or is it that the fake "Zheng Quchi" has been exposed?
Isn't it possible that he can distinguish between true and false in just such a short time?
Logically speaking, Mo Ye would not rashly find a fake "Zheng Quchi". He must have put enough effort into selecting the candidate. Just as she did not know how to ride, the "Zheng Quchi" also imitated this. There are no flaws in the details, and it is expected that it will not be exposed in a short time.
The man said "Ouch" and was so anxious: "She is dead. As soon as the lady walked in front of him, she was split in half by his sword. Oh my god, what a sin. After he killed his wife, he He went crazy and forced Sima to hand him over immediately, otherwise he would set fire to the city at a quarter past noon and not even a blade of grass would grow."
Speaking of this, people were numb with fear and their teeth were chattering.
Not to mention they were afraid, even Zheng Quchi had goosebumps all over his body when he heard: "Then how did you escape? Are you the only ones who escaped? Where are the other people in the city?"
"Sima sent people to intercept the south city gate and desperately resisted the Ye army. Only those of us were able to take advantage of the chaos and run out. However, the soldiers and horses of the Ye state reacted quickly and there were terrifying killing instruments. Now everyone in the city is going crazy. Escape, but there are too few people who can escape. My children, wife and family are still inside, and we got separated when we were halfway there..."
The man finally couldn't hold himself any longer, squatted on the ground, held his head and cried loudly.
The cries seemed to be filled with endless sadness and shrillness. Although Zheng Quchi had no connection with these people, he felt a pang in his heart when he heard them.
Yu, Wen, Sheng!
Just when Zheng Quchi was furious, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him: "I'm sorry..."
What?
As soon as Zheng Quchi turned around, she saw an old man with a gray beard. His bright eyes showed a helpless apology, and then he struck her on the back of the neck with his palm.
"Military doctor..."
Zheng Quchi only had time to shout out two words before his eyes darkened and he fainted on top of him.
"Since everything started because of you, it must end because of you. I'm sorry."
