"You all expected to die no matter what, so you all had this idea, right?" Lin Qi was not polite to these people, and spoke very straightforwardly.
"Life and death have long been ignored." Zhang Yu said, "But our personal life and death are not important. What is important is that the prince treats us with deep love, so no matter what, we will never betray him!"
"Haha, I think you may not all be loyal to Governor Duan!" Lin Qi sneered, "Otherwise, why not persuade him to surrender? You and I both know that Baisha City cannot be defended after all, and it will only be a matter of time before the city is destroyed and people are destroyed. , you keep saying you are loyal to Governor Duan, are you going to die with him but refuse to live with him?"
Everyone looked at each other in silence, saying to themselves, "How do you know we haven't persuaded you?"
Do you think we don’t want to be born together? It is because the prince would rather break than bend, and would rather die than surrender, that’s why we all have the intention of dying with him. Who the hell is willing to die if we can live? But it is natural to die with the prince.
"It is said that Governor Duan is determined to die and is irreversible, but don't you think about his descendants? As far as I know, Governor Duan only has five sons in total, and they are all in the city. As the saying goes, the nest is overturned. How can the eggs be finished? When the city is destroyed, they will not be able to escape the slaughter, and the governor will have no heirs from now on!" Lin Qi said.
"My student is a soft-spoken person, and I dare not say anything to you to protect anyone. I don't believe anyone, but you must all know the reputation of Lord Xiao, right? He always means what he says! And Prince Xuanping is right to He obeys his advice, so as long as Governor Duan is willing to leave the city, they will be able to save the lives of his family!"
"Student, my father was saved by Mr. Xiao Hou. I think you all know this... Of course, Governor Duan's crimes are far more serious than those of my father. Maybe Mr. Xiao cannot be saved, but Prince Xuanping will definitely It's possible. As long as he reports it to the Emperor, the Emperor will definitely not refute it! This is all the students can say..."
"Actually, the student came here and wanted to discuss with Governor Duan to see if he could take a young master out. As long as he goes out, he can save his life and leave a bloodline to Governor Duan in the future. But Governor Duan was very emotional just now. I don’t dare to say anything to the students, but the generals and lords are here, so is it appropriate to just say that the students are doing this?”
It was definitely inappropriate, but when Lin Qi said this at this moment, they couldn't help but not believe it.
Because everyone knows that Baisha City will be breached sooner or later, so Duan Fengnian's son will definitely die if he stays here. Maybe he doesn't have to wait until the city is breached. As long as the situation is critical, Duan Fengnian may personally kill his sons. Kill them all!
There is no doubt that you will die in the city. Although you may have a narrow escape if you go out, at least you still have a chance to survive.
"Besides, you are all Duan Feng's old confidants who have been with Duan Feng for a long time. To put it harshly, you are all on the list of imperial prisoners. Of course, my student here does not dare to say anything to protect you, but if you change your mind now, in fact, It’s not too late, at least your family members and children can still be protected.”
"Now that we've said it, let's just say it all. In fact, the relatives and children of all civil and military officials in other places in Langya County, including you, have been detained for a long time. It's just that Mr. Xiao is unwilling to Their lives are threatening you, and you cannot bear to take them back to Fengyang City. After all, there is always room for them to stay..."
"But if the city is destroyed, then even Mr. Xiaohou can't protect them. After all, what you have committed are heinous crimes, and the crimes will not be forgiven! As for their fate... well, a gentleman cannot bear to say it! Lin Qi sighed, "The student said this from the bottom of his heart, but it's not alarmist, right?"
"That's all I've said today, so I'll risk my life to say one more thing." Lin Qi pondered for a while and then said, "Prince Xuanping and Lord Xiao always want to negotiate peace with Governor Duan. After racking their brains, they have also received a lot of criticism. Now there are many people in the court who are impeaching them, and the emperor has successively issued decrees urging them to attack the city!"
"So the students thought that in half a month or in ten days, the prince and the marquis would have to launch a large-scale attack. It is not a problem if the army is entrenched in the city. In addition, in two days, Shanzuo Governor Xie Changan and Tie Moller's army will also arrive at the city, and Mr. Murong Heng will also send 5,000 elite troops to assist in the battle. By then..."
"Student, I am not afraid that you will be cold-hearted. I have no friendship with you, and I don't care about your life or death. It's just that my father and Governor Duan are close friends, so he ordered the student to come to protect his heir. Can he save it?" That's just doing our best to ensure the destiny of the people." This was the end of Lin Qi's words.
"Haha, no wonder Li Qiu Xiaochen sent you here, your eloquence is really great!" Zhang Yu said.
"General Zhang, don't be embarrassed when we speak. I have repeatedly stated that I am not here to lobby. I have made it very clear to Mr. Duan just now, and you have all heard it. I have no intention of persuading you. You all insisted on asking me, so I just said a few words, but unexpectedly, General Zhang, you actually said so!" Lin Qi was very angry.
"Then you are not afraid of death?" Xu Wenchang asked, "We did not force you to stay, but you insist on staying. Once the war starts, maybe the prince will kill you first to boost the morale of the army!"
"I died as a loyal and filial person, and I deserved to die. Even if the emperor doesn't grant me a title, he will definitely forgive my father's sins and reward me as a member of the Lin family, as a minister and a son. Why should I die for this?" Lin Qi said, "But for what purpose did Governor Duan, you, the one hundred thousand soldiers in the city, and their families and children die?"
"If you don't die, you will accomplish great things in the future. I'm afraid your fame will be higher than that of my father!" Xu Wenchang couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. No wonder our prince thought of his dog when he saw this boy.
It's really incomparable. As long as the prince has a promising son, he will not stay with him...
Because I know that even if I am sent out, I will inevitably die in the end! It's better for everyone to die together... it's more or less a reunion.
"Students don't dare to think about what will happen in the future, but please think more about what is happening in front of you. I see that the prince has no intention of talking to me, so I will simply not see him, haha, lest you suspect that I am Lobbyist, but the prince allows me to see some young masters... I wonder if you allow me to see them?" Lin Qi said.
"Then we have to wait until we report it to the young masters." Xu Wen said seriously that he can't let you see them. He made our prince cry with just a few words, and he almost made us cry with his words just now. Moved.
If you meet those young masters now, you have to tell them to leave directly!
"Okay, then let's do whatever we want. The students will be waiting here." Lin Qi was not in a hurry. Anyway, the purpose of coming here has been basically achieved.
Brother Xiao said that as long as he doesn't die, it will be considered a success...
