On the stone bridge, what made Xing Fei more anxious than Bai Liqun's howl was the silence from Bai Hao.
On the stone bridge, Bai Liqun's shaking movements gradually weakened, but the heartbreaking sounds continued.
Xing Fei looked at this scene expressionlessly, lowering his eyes slightly to hide the trace of pleasure flashing deep in his eyes.
If he hadn't been extremely convinced that among the countless pairs of eyes coming from behind him, there must be a pair coming from their city lord Bai Hao, Xing Fei would have simply stood by and watched the dog thief humiliating Que Chun in front of others.
The people standing on the bridge were silent for a short time, but in exchange for the people lying on the ground, the screams of pain became smaller.
Xing Fei was quite satisfied with the timing of this opening. He raised his eyes and looked directly at the beautiful woman with proud curves opposite him and said: "There is no such way of exchanging hostages."
"Ha~" Wang Yeqing chuckled sarcastically, his eyes lightly passing over Xing Fei's face and looking at the dense crowd of soldiers behind him, "As the personal guards of the City Lord's Mansion, you should all know that the bed bug lying on the ground is Who is it?"
Wang Yeqing's slender hand shook, and everyone's eyes flashed brightly, and they saw a slender long sword in her hand, with the tip of the sword facing Bai Liqun's head: "If you don't know, I can help you confirm that he is your city lord Bai Liqun." Hao’s nephew, Bai Liqun.”
"Commander Xing, do you have any more questions?"
The sword energy in Wang Yeqing's hand was spitting out, but the meaning was clear enough.
Xing Fei ignored Bai Liqun on the ground, looked at Bai Hao in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "I want to confirm the situation of my elder brother."
Mu Qing, who was willing to serve as a foil next to Wang Yeqing, reacted and raised his palm. Yin Si behind him understood, lightly stomped his feet, and led Bai Hao to stand on the bridge with the same momentum.
Another extraordinary master...
Xing Fei was already a little numb today. After taking a quick glance and remembering Yin Si's face in his heart, he looked at Xing Zuo. After a moment of silence, he also raised his hand.
Yan Qing, Ge Shan and the others understood and immediately escorted Wang Xiuwei and the others to the bridge.
Mu Qing looked at Liu Yueshan and the others who had not been tortured much, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He took a step forward, but was stopped by Wang Yeqing's eyes.
"It's more important than ever to cause chaos at this time," she reminded in a concentrated voice.
Yan Qing and his eight brothers happened to suppress one hostage each. Liu Yueshan happened to be in his hand. At this time, when he met his eyes, he lowered his head in regret, but then he thought about it, if they could be exchanged for hostages. They were all returned to each other safely, which saved them a lot of trouble.
"What's your relationship with that kid?" Ge Shan suddenly asked in a very low voice as he pressed Wang Xiuwei forward and stood up.
Wang Xiu glanced at him slightly in surprise, then turned to see Xing Fei's back, with an indifferent expression on his face and no response.
At this time, Ge Shan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly walked towards Xing Fei with hesitation.
Xing Fei thought he was ready, and was about to nod and start exchanging hostages, but he didn't expect Geshan to say solemnly: "Commander, we have lost so many brothers in their hands, we must not agree to their conditions so easily. "
Geshan spoke extremely steadily and firmly. Although his voice was not loud, everyone on the bridge could hear him clearly.
Xing Fei turned his head sharply and stared at him coldly with narrowed eyes.
Just as Yan Qing felt a little guilty, as the person who should repay the kindness the most, he was thinking about protecting Liu Yueshan and the others on the way here. At this time, exchanging hostages was a perfect step.
He never expected that the problem would come from his most trusted confidant.
"What did you say?"
There was a long silence, with almost everyone on the bridge looking at Geshan's face.
Geshan still insisted: "None of them were injured or killed, but the guards of my city lord's palace killed and injured nearly a thousand people. This account has not been settled. Even if the hostages are exchanged, it will only be one for one at most!"
"Lao Ge, you!"
Yan Qing's chest rose and fell, and if he hadn't been warned by Xing Fei's eyes, he would have rushed forward to take action.
The soldiers who lined up on Pingpu Street saw that the exchange of hostages on the bridge was suddenly interrupted. They were confused for a while. When the soldiers near the bridge spread the news, those soldiers felt sad for the death of their comrades. , amidst the excitement of the crowd, it was the soldiers who had withdrawn from Qingyun Street who shouted the loudest.
"Are you satisfied?" The people on the bridge were all his brothers. Xing Fei heard the heat wave coming from behind and finally asked Xiang Geshan with hidden anger.
Ge Shan didn't seem to notice the warning in Xing Fei's cold eyes. He shook his head and said solemnly: "Master Bai is one life, how many lives are those dead soldiers?"
Hearing what Ge Shan said, even Wang Yeqing, who was standing opposite them, stared at him in surprise.
This person's position seems a bit strange.
It seems that you are complaining about the injustice of those dead comrades, but if you tell the truth, it is that your Bai Liqun's life is one life, and the life of the soldiers is also one life. Could it be that just because you are the nephew of the city lord, you can have one life? Worth everyone’s lives?
What's more, with what she told succinctly and powerfully before, those soldiers would have thought deeper. If you, Bai Liqun, made a mistake, you could let everyone fight with their lives, but when you were trying to survive, you would ignore your dead comrades?
Wang Yeqing pursed his lips, and his eyes fell on the soldiers standing almost all over Pingbu Street. Looking at the excited expressions on their faces that seemed to empathize with them, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
She really didn't expect that someone would take action at this time and sprinkle the seeds of resentment into the hearts of those soldiers. When the day it breaks out, will this resentment still be directed at Bai Liqun?
Thinking of this, Wang Yeqing raised his sword and dropped it. Bai Liqun, who still had no sense of reference, suddenly raised his upper body and screamed "Ahhh" at Xing Fei and the others.
Xing Fei and the others stopped talking at the same time and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
A long sword that was no more than an inch wide penetrated Bai Liqun's thigh directly. When they looked over, they heard the sound of blood coming out, and the silver sword body was shaking uncontrollably.
"You!" Xing Fei was depressed, and his voice was already a little more angry.
Wang Yeqing tilted his head at this moment and said softly in a serious tone: "In the negotiation, in addition to having momentum, the most important thing is to find out the other party's bottom line, so that we can be invincible."
Mu Qing didn't know that Wang Yeqing was actually talking to Xing Fei and the others. He glanced at Ge Shan and said in a deep voice: "You are right. He is Bai Hao's nephew, so you can only follow our instructions." .”
Geshan lowered his head and took the initiative to retreat behind Xing Fei without looking at Mu Qing.
Everyone's eyes fell on Xing Fei's face again.
"It's different, it's really different..."
Xing Fei looked at Bai Liqun on the ground, and his heart was filled with emotions. Everyone has many identities since birth. They are sons and husbands. If they are still comrades who can trust their lives in the army, his He glanced at his unconscious brother. In his mind, although his brother had also been in the military, he was not a real soldier and would probably not feel the same way.
Then who can understand him?
"Brother Fei..." Yan Qing's face was full of anxiety, and he deliberately squeezed Ge Shan with his shoulders, came to Xing Fei's side, and said softly: "Continue to exchange hostages."
People can empathize. Xing Fei was standing alone in front of those murderous men. In the eyes of the soldiers on the long street, as the silence became longer and longer, he became taller and taller.
Their eyes were complicated, and they seemed to understand the struggle between friendship and loyalty in Xing Fei's heart. Finally, someone whispered, where is the city lord?
It seems that with Bai Hao here, no matter what the outcome is, their leader will not be so embarrassed.
"laugh--"
There was another sound of a sharp weapon being inserted into flesh and blood quickly. Wang Yeqing's sword was still on Bai Liqun's leg. At this time, a short sword was newly added to his other leg.
Mu Qing's provocative behavior aroused the blood in the hearts of soldiers like Yan Qing, and they all showed their weapons with clanging sounds.
Mu Qing recalled the dagger and took it in his hand, looked at Xing Fei in the middle and said coldly: "Do you still have a choice?"
"If he dies, the number of people you can replace will definitely be reduced by half." Xing Fei raised his eyebrows and said calmly.
Standing on the bridge like this and being watched by thousands of people is not a comfortable experience. Wang Yeqing looked around and said in a cold voice: "If you can't make the decision, call someone who can."
"I'll count to three... and then you can take his head back."
How slow can you count?
Just a few breaths.
Before Wang Yeqing finished counting, Xing Fei finally figured out Ge Shan's intention. The fact that the city lord was unwilling to come forward today was actually the biggest hint.
That means he has given up on Bai Liqun!
Not to mention how many buildings were damaged and how many innocent people were killed today, there were thousands of casualties among the military comrades alone. How should we resolve all the resentments caused by this embarrassing result?
Bai Hao has been the city lord for so many years, and he probably understands people's hearts better than all of them, well, except Ge Shan...
Xing Fei felt uncomfortable thinking about this, and lowered his eyes to watch someone's last journey.
"Oh, so that's what it is."
Wang Yeqing's soft voice was filled with sarcasm that penetrated people's hearts. She stretched out her hand and in a flash of silver light, blood shot up to the height of a man.
Yin Si silently retracted his voice from observing Wang Yeqing's movements, and couldn't help but feel a little more serious admiration in his heart.
When the long sword returned to Zhu Yeqing's hand, the thickest blood vessel in the guy's leg on the ground had been broken. Only people who know the human body very well can know that once the blood vessel is cut, it will shrink deep into the flesh. , receiving such an injury basically declared death.
"Ah!" Yan Qing was not yet 30 years old after all. No matter how much he thought about it, he could not imagine that a simple substitution would cause such a fuss. His mind was aroused by the warm bloody smell that spread, and his chest heaved. Suddenly, the spear in his hand was stabbing towards Wang Yeqing.
Wang Yeqing snorted coldly and used force on his feet to directly kick Bai Liqun, who was bleeding, into the air, and turned towards Yan Qing's gun.
"Too much!"
Yan Qing knew how strong Wang Yeqing was, so he tried his best with this shot. Faced with this sudden change, it was impossible to turn the gun again. Seeing that he was about to send Bai Liqun on the road in advance, Xing remained silent all the time. Fei suddenly took a few steps forward, lightly knocked Yan Qing away, and at the same time caught Bai Liqun.
"Commander Xing, Commander Xing, save me, save me quickly!"
When a person is about to die, the pain will become dull and the brain will become extremely clear. Bai Liqun only feels that he has walked through the gate of hell, and now he has finally escaped and ascended to heaven. His face is as pale as a water ghost, and his facial features are tangled. But he opened his mouth and roared with a smile.
Xing Fei held Bai Liqun in one hand and sealed several acupuncture points on his body with the other hand. Seeing that he was still bleeding, he gradually let go of the disgust in his heart and threw it directly to Ge Shan who was catching up.
As their eyes met, they already understood that Bai Liqun had no chance of surviving.
Ge Shan carried Bai Liqun and swept towards the long street behind him. Wang Yeqing chuckled and said: "As you wish, this person is dead. Can we officially replace him now?"
"He will become a dead man soon. Kill him." Xing Fei said coldly.
"My patience is extremely limited. I can exchange for your whole corpse..." At this point, Wang Yeqing covered his mouth and smiled, but his eyes suddenly became sharp and said: "I can exchange him for you while he is alive, and I don't care about the people around you. This little brother's offense has already shown enough kindness."
boom--
At this time, Yin Si walked up to the person consciously and threw Xing Zuo in his hand to the ground, which happened to be where Bai Liqun was lying.
Mu Qing was quite understanding. For the first time, he felt that when everyone faced outsiders together, this kind of ruthlessness and determination in their actions was extremely to their liking.
"Now, we have to replace eight of them with him alone."
The short sword in Mu Qing's hand pointed at Xing Zuo on the ground, and Yin Si also drew out the soft sword from his waist.
