Zhao Wujiang smiled gently and nodded. He had many doubts in his heart.
"Then let's go, young hero." The old man said kindly to Zhao Wujiang with his kind eyes and somewhat sad brows.
"This Dongsheng City cannot be defended."
"Old man, don't worry, aren't there still many soldiers in Dongsheng City?" Zhao Wujiang said seriously:
"There are many strong men in the world who are on their way."
The old man took a puff of dry smoke, puffed out smoke, shook his head and smiled:
"Young hero, you don't know, but the strong men in the world may not be able to come.
Aren't you here alone? Have you ever seen other strong men? "
Zhao Wujiang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:
"Old man, why can't the strong men in the world come?"
"I heard that it was another group of strong men in the Jianghu who blocked these strong men who wanted to support." The old man had kind eyes and smiled kindly, but his tone was full of emotion, as if he was extremely concerned about Daxia's Jianghu. disappointment:
"As for why we want to block it, maybe we are worried that after these strong men support us, they will feel guilty, right?
Or there may be other reasons unknown to me, who knows.
The old man remembers some days ago. Wasn't it rumored that Xiaoyao Wang Xuanyuan Yuheng massacred people in the world before?
I didn’t see any strong person taking action to stop Xuanyuan Yuheng...
During that time, how many people died...sigh...
I have long been accustomed to a world without chivalry..."
Zhao Wujiang was in a complicated mood. Why did his own people prevent his own people from rescuing him? What happened?
He took a deep breath and said softly:
"Old man, I'm sorry."
"Young hero, what are you saying to me that I'm sorry for?" The old man shook his head and smiled, with a kind expression:
"You can come to Dongsheng City alone and one horse, which is already stronger than many people.
But the Japanese people are cruel and tyrannical. You'd better leave first. It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. "
Zhao Wujiang smiled gently and shook his head:
"Old man, why don't you leave?"
"Where can the old man go?" The old man took a deep breath of dry tobacco, and there was a hint of bitterness in the plainness:
"The old man's eldest son, youngest son, eldest daughter-in-law, eldest grandson and granddaughter, all did not have time to retreat and died on the occupied Dongji Island.
My home is gone, where can I go? "
Zhao Wujiang's eyes flickered. On the way here, he guessed that Dongji Island would be attacked first, but he did not expect that Dongji Island had already fallen.
Thinking about it, this Dongsheng City will soon be attacked.
He forced a smile and said to the old man:
"Old man, could you please help me get off my horse?
Hey, there was almost no rest on the road, and he could hardly walk. "
"Young hero, where are you?" The old man's kind and sad expression was stunned.
Zhao Wujiang stood up, pressed the brim of his hat, and grinned:
"I'm going to defend the city."
————
The prefect Chen Weimin was slumped on a wooden chair in the city tower, expressionless, staring at the eleven Japanese people outside the city outside the range of arrows and crossbows.
Five of the twenty captured Daxia citizens have died, and these five are all soldiers.
The remaining fifteen include old men, old women, children, women and children.
Purple-black poisonous spots can be seen faintly on the bodies of women, children and children, which must be what they encountered on Dongji Island.
None of the five dead soldiers shouted the words of surrender, especially after the second soldier shouted "Daxia will not surrender", the remaining three soldiers became even more unhesitating every time they faced death.
No matter how much the Japanese swordsmen tried to persuade them and made various promises through coercion and inducement, Chen Weimin just watched quietly, watching the five soldiers fall.
There weren't too many mood swings, at least not on his face.
It seemed that even if the Japanese swordsmen killed all the remaining fifteen people, the prefect Chen Weimin would not say anything soft.
All he had to do was to coexist with Dongsheng City. With the few Huolei and the defenders, it was more likely to delay the Japanese who had captured Dongji Island from attacking again.
The city is there and the people are there, but the city is broken and people are dead.
