Of course Xiao Feng is afraid of death, at least in later generations.
But now...it's hard to say. Also afraid, but not that afraid.
In later generations, he was basically an atheist. When he died, he was dead, without any hope or continuation. All the things in the world were wiped out, and everything in the world had nothing to do with me anymore.
But it was different now. He had thought more than once, if he died, would he be able to go home?
Although this hope is not big, it is there after all. This is the difference between one and zero. Supported by this hope, he faces death more calmly than others.
It's best not to die, because that means more possibilities and greater hope. It is really unavoidable, just die, there is also a chance.
This is why Xiao Feng did not hesitate to give the chance of survival to Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang can lead troops to fight, and the probability of returning to the capital is much higher, but he cannot.
Leading troops to fight is hard work. No matter the knowledge of later generations or the Taoist methods of measuring words, they can't replace the talents and talents of the generals who command the troops. Xiao Feng is not blindly confident to that extent yet.
The only worry is that although Qi Jiguang is a powerful fighter, he may not be Yan Shifan's opponent because of his arrogance, and currently he is the only one who can compete with Yan Song in front of Jiajing.
So Xiao Feng told Qi Jiguang that if he had the chance, he would take the people of Xiao Mansion out of the capital and fly far away. With Qi Jiguang's later power and prestige in the army, the Yan family neither dared nor had the need to embarrass the group of people who had lost Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng smiled slightly, looked at Xiao Qin, and then at An Dahan.
"Life and death have destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven. Live by the Tao, and die by following the Tao. Since you are a Taoist, if you can't see through this, why should you practice Tao?"
An Dahan frowned, feeling a little unable to get off the stage. He didn't want to kill Xiao Feng, but he did want Xiao Feng to kneel down, but this was not to vent his anger on himself.
Ida Khan is a tycoon of the generation, not a man of such small temperament. Asking Xiao Feng to kneel down can boost the morale of the entire army. These Tatars have been tortured by Xiao Feng for the past two days and need to be comforted.
Secondly, Xiao Feng's spirit can be reduced, so that whether it is subduing or interrogating, it will be much easier.
I didn't expect that Xiao Feng would rather die than pay attention to his trivial request. Isn't this too much?
At this time, the cavalry who went up the mountain to fight withdrew one after another. There were also infantrymen who climbed up the mountain panting from the north and rushed down panting again. They were still far away.
The cavalry leader came forward and reported: "Great Khan, Mr. Xiao, the Ming army's cavalry charged empty-handedly, but the people fled in all directions along the bushes. I don't know where they are hiding."
Xiao Qin also frowned. He really didn't expect this move. He looked at Xiao Feng.
"Are you betting that I can't search mountains?"
Xiao Feng nodded and looked at Xiao Qin curiously: "Is your surname also Xiao?"
Xiao Qin smiled slightly: "Answer my question first."
Xiao Feng also smiled slightly: "There is nothing to hide. Yes, I just bet that you don't know how to search mountains.
There are more than a hundred people hiding in this continuous mountain with lush vegetation, and they can move and change positions at any time. It will take at least three days for you to thoroughly search the mountain to catch them.
Soldiers are so valuable and so fast that you couldn't bear to spend time chasing Qi Jiguang. How could you be willing to spend three days searching for a hundred ordinary soldiers here? "
Xiao Qin nodded and looked at Xiao Feng with appreciation.
"But if it were for you, I might not stop searching the mountain. Don't tell me that in order to prevent me from searching the mountain, you rolled down the mountain on purpose and let me catch you."
Xiao Feng smiled casually: "I'm not that selfless yet. Since I asked others to hide it, of course I want to hide it too.
It's just that I took a calligraphy test and knew that I was doomed, so I just did my best to obey fate.
It's just a pity that I didn't let my two soldiers follow me. If they insisted on following me, they would suffer the same fate as me. "
Xiao Qin laughed dumbly and looked at the two soldiers who were tied up by the Tatars not far away. Suddenly, something moved in her heart and she smiled at me.
"Xiao Feng, you take life and death lightly, but according to what you said, these two soldiers were arrested because of your fate because they were trying to protect you.
If you are willing to kneel down, I will spare them. If you are not willing to kneel down, I will kill them now. "
Idahan shook his head slightly, giving up hope on Xiao Qin's statement. What kind of identity is Xiao Feng? If he compares his feelings with his own, if he catches two Tatars, would he be allowed to kneel down? Is it possible?
Not to mention myself, if I arrest two White Lotus cultists, it would be a big joke to make you, Mr. Xiao Qin, kneel down.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng just thought about it for a moment, then looked at An Dahan and said, "Do you accept what he said?"
I was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin had a smile on her lips and bright and gentle eyes. Those were eyes that could see through people's hearts!
"Ben Khan recognizes everything Mr. Xiao said."
The two soldiers shouted in a hoarse voice: "Master Xiao, don't kneel! Master Xiao, you can't kneel, you can't kneel! You are Master Wenxuan, the Great Tomorrow Master. It is not a pity for a villain to die, so you can't kneel!" "
Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "Fart, it's not a pity to die, what a real heavenly master, kneeling down can save two lives, let alone me, even if I come, I will definitely kneel down."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Feng tossed his robe and knelt down on his knees, still with a smile on his face, showing no humiliation or unwillingness at all.
An Dahan was stunned. Even Xiao Qin didn't expect that Xiao Feng would kneel down whenever he asked. He thought he would always hesitate and struggle for a while, and might burst into tears, which was very emotional.
When Xiao Feng was about to kneel down when negotiating terms, the Tatars around him had already raised their swords and guns, cheered and made a loud noise.
But when Xiao Feng knelt down, except for a few slow-minded soldiers who were still cheering, most of the Tatars became silent.
Xiao Feng knelt there quietly, like a small mountain peak, standing still. The mountain breeze blows, and the robe floats, like a god in the clouds, looking down on all living beings.
The solemn atmosphere made the cheering soldiers gradually shut up, and an inexplicable sense of awe grew in their hearts.
This man...why is he like this?
They were just two ordinary soldiers. Isn't it natural for a soldier to die for the general?
Mr. Xiao's spies in the capital, according to Mr. Xiao's orders, have been continuously collecting additional information on Xiao Feng in the past few days and sending it to Mr. Xiao.
I heard from Mr. Xiao that this man is the younger brother of the Ming Emperor, the real person Wenxuan, the Celestial Master of Divination, the master of worldly contemplation, and the richest man in the capital.
I heard from Mr. Xiao that this man never knelt down when he saw the Ming Emperor!
Why is he kneeling?
Anda Khan found to his dismay that his hope of boosting morale might have been in vain.
The Tatars surrounding him not only failed to boost their morale, but instead looked at Xiao Feng with awe and confusion. It feels like...
They were kneeling, just like Xiao Feng who was standing.
The Tatars admire the strong and despise cowards, but they know that Xiao Feng is not a coward.
Facing Cheng Geer who was full of murderous intent and facing the bloody sword, he refused to kneel down to survive without hesitation. Would such a person be a coward?
An Dahan glanced at Xiao Qin for help: Is there anything else you can do? Let’s save face!
Xiao Qin, who had always had a smile on his face, was also slightly stiff at this time. For the first time, he felt like this: he had seen through him, but not completely.
He did what he wanted him to do, but he always felt like something was wrong.
It's like an adult asking a child to do something, and the child does exactly what you say, but you become more and more angry and feel that he is deliberately angry with you.
"Xiao Feng, you kneeled down in vain, I will still kill those two soldiers of yours."
Ida Khan glanced at Xiao Qin and said nothing. He and Xiao Qin also had a tacit understanding. He knew that Xiao Qin wanted to anger Xiao Feng.
At this time, the two soldiers had tears streaming down their faces and were choked with tears.
"Master Xiao, please get up and let them kill us. We are not afraid! With you kneeling down today, I will smile when I die and see my ancestors!"
"Master Xiao, my ancestors have never produced any great figures. Today I have made my ancestors proud!"
Xiao Feng stood up calmly and patted the dirt on his legs, as if he had just sat down and rested for a while.
"You deserve to be killed, and I can't stop you."
Xiao Qin was stunned: "You kneeled down for nothing, but got nothing. Aren't you angry?"
Xiao Feng laughed loudly: "You are so crazy. They were arrested for guarding me. Since there is a chance of survival, I will feel uncomfortable if I don't kneel down.
So I knelt down, not to make them grateful to me, nor to think that I would be able to save their lives, but to give myself peace of mind.
Now I am also kneeling. The right to kill or not is in your hands. Even if you kill them, I will do my best, with a clear conscience and no hindrance to Taoism.
Things in the world are not going as you wish most of the time. How can we do everything we want, but we must be honest in our hearts. Don’t you understand this? "
The two soldiers shouted in unison: "Well said, sir! What a man!"
At this moment, they no longer regarded Xiao Feng as an adult or a real person, but truly as a brother of Pao Ze.
The Tatar cavalry looked at Anda Khan uneasily, and secretly worried in their hearts whether Anda Khan would listen to Mr. Xiao and really kill these two Ming soldiers.
The Tatars are brave and cruel, killing people like grass, but they attach great importance to their faith, especially if they openly regret their actions in such a public place, they can't help but feel embarrassed.
Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Qin with a smile, but Xiao Qin remained silent. Anda Khan knew it was time to end, so he used one of the most commonly used moves by heroes.
"Hahahahaha, it's just a joke. Master Xiao really deserves his reputation. I, a Mongolian, have always kept my word, so how could I do something contrary to my word?
Come on, these two people are untied. If you want to leave or stay, it’s up to them. As for Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao and I have been famous for you for a long time, so please stay for a while! "
Some people died, but not completely...
