"Brother Yao, I'm really unwilling."
"Brother Jiang, please stop talking." The closer the merchant ship got to the center of the river, for no apparent reason, the more disgusted Yao Rong's face became.
According to his idea, Midao must accumulate a lot of experience before he can make a difference. But now, the situation was suddenly ruined by the accomplice in front of him.
Even if he enters Shu now, Yao Rong seems a little uneasy in his heart.
As expected, it didn't take long.
Suddenly, he heard screams of surprise. After boarding the bow of the ship and looking back, I realized that at some point, a mighty Xishu naval force had already followed behind.
Yao Rong was shocked and turned his eyes to understand the reason.
"Brother Jiang, it's not good! You and I were sold by King Yuan, to the people of Shu!"
"What should I say?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhong also became anxious.
"I'm asking you to enter the urn!"
"Fire, fire boat! Brother Yao, use the fire boat quickly, just like you did against the Shu people last time!"
Yao Rong looked angry and pushed Jiang Zhong away. In this case, the wind direction is unfavorable and the timing is wrong. If it cannot be unexpected, the fire boat is a stupid plan.
Boom.
A merchant ship behind was quickly sunk into the river by a wave of crossbow bolts fired by the Western Shu navy. It was originally just an ordinary ship, how could it be compared with a warship.
All of a sudden, everyone across the several thousand meters crossing the river screamed.
"Long shot, take the bow and shoot long distance!" Yao Rong said angrily.
However, these Mi Dao were just ordinary people before and had not been trained. Even if they took out their bows and shot them, they would be just a few flying arrows and would have no effect at all.
Jiang Zhong glanced at Yao Rong, but he also knew that it was not the time for internal strife, so he had to follow the command of the merchant ships and try to stop the navy from Xishu.
"Hold still, hold still—"
It's a pity that before Jiang Zhong shouted a few words, there were already Taoist disciples who were so frightened that they jumped into the river.
"Trash." Jiang Zhong gritted his teeth and retreated to the bow of the boat with a trembling body. After all, he couldn't help but asked Yao Rong.
"Brother Yao, what should we do now? The Shu people are coming to kill us."
Yao Rong's face was cold, "Since I fell into the trap, the Shu people will never give you or me a way to survive."
"Damn it, Brother Yao, do you feel that this is like... Beiyu and Xishu have agreed that one will rush into the river and the other will chase them on the river."
Yao Rong hesitated for a while, "I can't tell clearly, but what you said... is not unreasonable. This time, I'm afraid you and I are going to die here."
"How could I, Jiang Zhong, die like this before my great cause is accomplished?"
Rumble.
The battleships of the Xishu Navy had already rushed over, and two or three merchant ships were suddenly hit to pieces.
The swaying waves kept moving forward.
Yao Rong held on to the hull of the boat and stood firm with squinted eyes. For a while, he looked at the Shu warships behind him, and then turned his head and looked at the Wuzhou River bank, which was still far away.
Finally, a decision seemed to have been made. He looked at Jiang Zhong beside him and said calmly, "Brother Jiang, please look east. I seemed to have seen reinforcements just now."
"Seriously?" Jiang Zhong was overjoyed and turned his head to look hurriedly.
Yao Rong's face instantly turned red, and he immediately took the knife from the side. Without thinking about it anymore, he chopped Jiang Zhong's neck with the knife.
If you want to survive now, you can only discount your merits and try to convince the Shu people with the help of your invulnerability. And Jiang Zhong's head in front of him is the best choice to claim credit.
"ah--"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhong turned his head unexpectedly, and although the long knife did not break off his head, it dragged out long bloody gashes on the back of Jiang Zhong's neck.
Jiang Zhong was so painful that he almost leaned over and roared.
Fortunately, several confidants nearby came over, looked at Yao Rong in great shock, and then protected him in front of Jiang Zhong.
"Brother Yao, you want to kill me!"
Yao Rong gritted his teeth and without explaining, summoned his confidants and quickly killed him with Jiang Zhong's people.
"Quick, kill them!"
…
Dongfang Jing frowned, sitting in the governor's mansion of Quyang County, listening to the intelligence from the front line.
"The two thieves on the Mi Road suddenly killed each other for some unknown reason. Governor Miao Tong blocked the way behind, and General Yuncheng went to intercept and kill them. There were only a thousand people left on the Mi Road, and there was no way to escape. They all surrendered."
"Jiang Zhong and Yao Rong are still alive."
"Still alive, but both injured."
Dongfang Jing turned his gaze and looked at Yuan Chong, who was still trembling in the governor's mansion.
"Little Prince Yuan, you have nothing to do here. From now on, you should rush back to Chengdu."
"Dongfang Military Advisor...do I think that I have given up my merits?"
Dongfang Jing was silent for a while, "Forget it."
"Many, many thanks, Eastern Military Advisor."
"Please come back."
When walking out, Dongfang Jing looked up at Yan Tang and spoke hesitantly.
"Brother Yan, congratulations on escaping."
Yan Tang's body trembled slightly, and he immediately bowed his head and saluted, "If it weren't for Dongfang's military advisor, his head would have been lost long ago."
Dongfang Jing smiled and signaled Yan Tang to leave first. After all, the real show begins next.
"San'er, bring those two people in."
The guard at the side nodded and walked out. Not long after, he dragged the two Taoists covered in blood into the governor's mansion.
"Look up!" Guard Li San smacked one of the Taoists in anger, causing his face to turn red. Feeling that he could not favor one over the other, Li San took half a step and slapped the other one as well.
At this moment, Jiang Zhong and Yao Rong didn't dare to be too embarrassed anymore, and both hurriedly raised their heads.
"Bye, meet the Eastern Military Advisor."
"Well, I, Dongfang Jing, have been friends with you two for a long time." Dongfang Jing said in a cold voice. Without these two people, Jiang Meng would have died. Once Jiang Meng dies, Beiyu's East General will definitely have to be replaced. And the most suitable candidate is extremely beneficial to Xi Shu.
"Not only me, but the entire Xishu people have been thinking about you two for a long time. San'er, go prepare the frying pan. Today, I, Dongfang Jing, will make an exception and use the torture of frying people."
"Master Dongfang, please spare your life Master Dongfang!" Suddenly, both Jiang Chong and Yao Rong turned pale with shock.
Dongfang Jing smiled and retracted his hands into the sleeves of his robe, "You have also seen that I, Dongfang Jing, am reasonable. Just like King Yuan before, I will give you a chance if you give up your merits."
"Dongfang Military Advisor, what do you want us to do?"
Dongfang Jing raised his hand and pointed to the north. Suddenly, Jiang Zhong and Yao Rong both looked silent.
"San'er, cut off his legs first, then throw them into the oil pan."
Guard Li San took the order, drew his knife and approached, suddenly feeling confused.
"My subordinates are stupid, little strategist. In this torture, which one is going to be tortured?"
"Leave one person to kill the other, San'er, you watch. Remember to sprinkle more spices in the oil pan later. Once the thief's skin and flesh are fried, they will wrinkle and curl up, just like thousands of ants eating the heart, he will eventually be There's a bit of a stench." Dongfang Jing's face was calm and he didn't look at Jiang Chong and Yao Rong below.
"Those who want to survive must seize the opportunity."
"Dongfang Military Advisor, I, Yao Rong, am willing to redeem my merits!" Yao Rong's face was shocked and he hurriedly spoke loudly. But Jiang Zhong, who was nearby, saw Yao Rong's appearance and shouted hurriedly.
"Military advisor, I, Jiang Chong, am willing to give up my merits and obey the military advisor's orders!"
Dongfang Jing's face was calm and he raised his head again, "Let's talk about it. Each person has a piece of paper and writes carefully. Whoever writes more or writes better will survive first."
He had to be cautious, worried that leaving only one person would tell lies. But leave two, if the written content is different, you can also see the flaws.
"You two, the frying pan is already boiling hot."
PS: I owe a chapter first, and I will make up for it later.
