If they want to save these Han slaves and the surviving Tang troops of the fifth team, they will be under a lot of pressure. They not only have to set fire, but also rescue people. Not to mention that there are 3,000 elite cavalry in this station. Even if they can survive with these The Tang army and the Han slaves fled, but once the Xicang incident occurred, the Khitan would definitely send a large army to hunt them down. By then, they would be unable to fly on this prairie. Even if the three of them were superb in martial arts, they would still be unable to defeat an army of tens of thousands. of.
Although the Khitan army has gathered at Sanggan River, there are still tens of thousands of troops in the rear. Although they are not elite, they are not easy to deal with.
Although he was a kind man, he was not foolishly kind. Compared with the lives of the forty-seven brothers under his command, the others were not worth mentioning. The most important thing is that he knows that his brothers will be willing to sacrifice their lives to save those people, but he is unwilling to sacrifice them. He would rather bear the reputation of being cold-blooded and ruthless to keep his brothers safe.
He was silent for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said: "We only have so many people, and it will be very hard just for us to escape after setting the fire. If we bring so many burdens, none of you will be able to escape. When the time comes, What have you been fighting for for so long? Is it all in vain?"
Everyone couldn't help but lower their heads when they heard this. Yes, why are they working so hard? Isn't it just for military exploits? Ye Qingcheng and the three of them will never die here, but what about them? If they died on this grassland, wouldn't their efforts be in vain?
Pu Guxi was not a Han at all. What he wanted to save most were the survivors of the fifth team. Among the fifty of them, there were about a dozen Hu people. After hearing Ye Qingcheng's questions, they all gave up on the rescue. idea. But the remaining Han Tang Army did not think so. The Tang Army has always been a benevolent and righteous army. Whether internally or externally, they were unwilling to give up the common people who had suffered for a long time and their comrades who did not know life or death.
"But the captain, we, we are the Tang Army, how can we leave the common people and comrades in arms to die without saving them?" Wang Rao was a little unwilling.
"Tang Jun is also a human being. Isn't Tang Jun not a human being? In this case, there is nothing we can do. Okay, don't say any more. We will report the sacrifices of the brothers in the fifth team to General Li later, and he will report it. Wang Shuai, just comfort their families. You all cheer up now, prepare your own kerosene, and don't slack off. We will start taking action in half an hour." Ye Qingcheng waved his hand to stop their questions. , said with an irresistible majesty.
Everyone had no choice but to nod and accept the order, and left the tent one after another.
Seeing that everyone had left, Pu Guxi hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and called out softly: "Team Commander."
"What's the matter?"
"I think if the team wants to achieve great things, it needs to be ruthless."
Huan Chenyu looked at this young man who was only in his teens with some surprise. He said what he wanted to say. Originally, he was worried about what Ye Qingcheng would think of him if he said it through himself, but Now that someone else has spoken out, all he needs to do is help.
"Oh? Then tell me, what does it mean to be ruthless?" Ye Qingcheng was vaguely aware of what Pu Guxi wanted to say. He had always been very smart. From Pu Guxi's expression and hesitation, he had already guessed what he planned to say.
"Yes, just..." Pu Guxi gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to whisper: "Just to let them have a good death."
In other words, what Pu Guxi meant was to ask Ye Qingcheng to kill all these Han slaves and captured Tang soldiers to end their suffering early. Since they could not be saved, he would use another cruel method to liberate them. Otherwise, , after Xicang was burned down by a fire, even if they were not affected by the fire, they would be brutally killed by the angry Khitan people.
Ye Qingcheng frowned. Sure enough, Pu Guxi meant this. Seeing that Bai Quan and Huan Chenyu didn't stop him, he asked, "Do you also mean this?"
The two looked at each other, and then Huan Chenyu spoke up: "Commander, what Pu Guxi said is right. What we can do is to save them as soon as possible. You also said that there is no way we can save them." , then let them be liberated earlier.”
Seeing that they also supported this suggestion, Ye Qingcheng was silent for a moment and could only agree: "Okay, let Bai Quan carry out this task. Try to prevent them from suffering when they set fire."
"Yes..." Bai Quan said, he and Huan Chenyu both saw that Ye Qingcheng would still show his cold-blooded side when necessary. He was not a good man or woman, which made them feel relieved. If their master is a weak and good man, what will he use to dominate the human world in the future? Only ruthlessness is the right path to becoming an overlord, and Ye Qingcheng obviously meets their expectations.
"But Captain, the southwest corner that I was originally responsible for..."
"I'll just choose someone with good skills from among my men. You can just do what you want."
If he were to send others to end the lives of those Han slaves and captured Tang soldiers, Ye Qingcheng might still worry about whether he would be discovered, whether he would be able to do it neatly, and whether he would care about the feelings of those people. Just like Huan Chenyu, he can certainly do the first two points, but he may not necessarily consider the feelings of those people and will only kill them directly. Only Bai Quan who still has kindness in his heart Able to act exactly as expected.
Just when Ye Qingcheng was about to continue to give instructions, the bad feeling that had been lingering in him before appeared again. He thought about it and immediately activated the innate Qi-seeking method. It doesn't matter if it is not activated. As soon as he opened it, he broke into a cold sweat. His intention-seeking energy can reach a radius of ten miles, which is enough to include the entire Xicang. However, the price is that he cannot use other spells during use, and it consumes a lot of energy. He rarely uses it unless it is urgent.
The situation was urgent. He didn't have time to say hello, so he directly applied the two secret techniques of Jiying and Muli that had not been used up from his sleeve to his arm. The effect was activated all of a sudden, and disappeared in a "swish". They left the same place, leaving behind Huan Chenyu, Bai Quan and Pu Guxi who looked confused.
"What's going on?" With Pugu Xi's skill, he didn't even see clearly how Ye Qingcheng disappeared.
However, Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan certainly saw Ye Qingcheng's departure clearly, and also saw the anxiety on his face. It seemed that something had happened, and it was something that would affect the success of the plan, otherwise Ye Qingcheng would not be so anxious. He didn't even have time to say hello before he ran out on his own.
