Bai Yan's team returned to Youtun City as if nothing had happened. The explanation to the outside world was very simple. They separated from Captain Zhang halfway, so they came back earlier.
Everything seems to be reasonable, but only he knows the uneasiness in Bai Yan's heart~
In such an uneasy atmosphere, Bai Yan suffered all day until late at night when he was called by Wang Yan.
There was only Wang Yan sitting alone in the room, holding a teacup and sipping tea slowly. Bai Yan, who was standing aside, had a ghost in his heart after all, and looked a little awkward standing uneasy.
After waiting for a long time, Bai Yan took the initiative to ask:
"Sir, I don't know why you are looking for me here?"
"If I have something to do, I'll find you if I come to see you."
Wang Yan put down his tea bowl and asked casually:
"The day before yesterday, you and Captain Zhang went out for inspection in the city. Why did you come back, but Captain Zhang has not returned yet."
"Isn't the captain back yet?"
Bai Yan frowned and looked confused:
"Halfway through the inspection, Lieutenant Zhang suggested that we divide our troops to search outside the pass, and then we separated.
After patrolling the designated area, I returned to the city early. I thought Captain Zhang had returned. "
Bai Yan answered fluently, and his blank look made it difficult for anyone to suspect that he was lying.
"Split up the search? Really?"
Wang Yan narrowed his eyes and asked:
"So you don't know about Captain Zhang?"
"yes!"
Bai Yan nodded heavily, and then asked worriedly:
"Sir, Captain Zhang has not returned yet, will he be in any danger?
The Yan army outside the Pass is riding around, just in case...
If it doesn't work, please take some men out of the city and look for the Captain. "
"You are really worried about the captain's safety~"
Wang Yan crossed his legs:
"What you said makes sense. If Captain Zhang encounters Yan soldiers, it will be dangerous.
But you are traveling with hundreds of households, and if the captain is in danger but you come back safely, it is a big sin~"
"Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Bai Yan trembled and hurriedly cupped his fists and said:
"The villain did get separated from the captain halfway. I don't know anything about his situation."
"Don't know anything?"
Wang Yan sneered and said:
"Could it be that you know something but don't tell it?"
"Why do you say this, sir?"
Bai Yan's face turned pale:
"The villain didn't hide anything from the adults. I really don't know what he said or where Captain Zhang is or what happened.
What if, I mean what if something happens to the Captain, you can't blame the villain, right? "
Bai Yan felt a little uneasy in his heart. He always felt that Wang Yan was making things difficult for him with every word he spoke today.
"It seems that you really hope something happens to me, right?"
A cold voice suddenly echoed in the room. Behind the screen, Zhang Jingyuan walked out slowly and looked at Bai Yan with an extremely unkind look.
"Du, Du Lieutenant, you are not..."
The moment he saw Zhang Jingyuan, Bai Yan's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on the back of his head.
"What am I not?"
Zhang Jingyuan asked:
"Wasn't I surrounded by hundreds of Yan troops? How come I'm still alive?
You don’t seem very happy to see my captain back~"
Bai Yan’s facial muscles are extremely stiff:
"Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"what for?"
Zhang Jingyuan sneered:
"I was surrounded by the Yan army. Didn't I send someone to deliver a message to you?
It's okay if you don't save me. Why did you say you didn't know anything after you returned to the city? "
"It's unfair, it's unfair, my lord!"
Bai Yan trembled and knelt on the ground:
"No one comes to ask for help from the villain. Sir, you are aware of this!"
"boom!"
Zhang Jingyuan suddenly slapped the table:
"Okay, you are really lying!
The person I sent to ask for help was killed by you. Do you think you can hide it this way? "
Bai Yan was startled and frightened, not sure whether Zhang Jingyuan really knew something.
"Somebody come!"
Zhang Jingyuan shouted angrily:
"Bring the people up!"
Gu Sinian, Qin Xi, Zeng Lingchuan and others filed in, and they were escorting none other than the soldiers who went out to patrol the city with Bai Yan.
The mouths of these soldiers were stuffed with rags, and they could not say a word, but they all looked at Bai Yan with fear.
The moment he saw them, Bai Yan's eyelids jumped a few times.
Zhang Jingyuan angrily said:
"Bai Yan, your men have confessed that you killed the soldiers who came to ask for help.
What else can you say! "
"Plop~"
Bai Yan suddenly collapsed on the ground, shaking his head in horror:
"Captain, Lord Commander, please listen to my explanation, this is not the case.
Please listen to my explanation! "
"Is there any hidden secret?"
Zhang Jingyuan sneered:
"This lieutenant really wants to hear if there is any explanation given the solid evidence."
Bai Yan first slumped on the ground, then pointed at Wan Feng in the crowd, trembling:
“It was him, it was his idea!
It was he who persuaded the lowly official to kill his own soldiers and pretend not to know.
And they all had a share. They were unwilling to rescue the adults, and the younger ones were forced to kill people.
Sir, the villain just listened to the slander for a moment and was blinded. Sir, you know this!
It's him, it's them! "
There was a trace of deep self-mockery on the faces of Wan Feng and several battalion soldiers. They were wondering why they followed such a big brother.
Gu Sinian stepped forward and gently tore off the rag from Wan Feng's mouth:
"If you have anything to say, say it now."
Wan Feng looked at Bai Yan silently and said with a wry smile:
“Brother, they didn’t interrogate you at all, they all lied to you.
But you...
I was so blind that I followed you! "
"Scamming me?"
Bai Yan's mind went blank for an instant.
Wan Feng looked at Zhang Jingyuan and said:
"Lord Captain, your soldiers were indeed killed by Bai Yan without any instigation.
But we are also guilty, and if we want to kill or behead, we are at your mercy! "
Wan Feng looked away completely, it was just a matter of life.
"Okay, what a cruel method~"
Zhang Jingyuan looked at Bai Yan angrily:
“As a member of a hundred households, if you obey orders and fail to save someone, this is a capital crime!
It is even more sinful to try to deceive me and frame others when you are about to die!
You deserve to die! "
In fact, Zhang Jingyuan was not surrounded by the Yan army at all. It was purely a show. It was a trap set by Gu Sinian and Wang Yan to test Bai Yan's loyalty.
It's a pity that Bai Yan still chose to save his life when facing danger, and even directly killed his own soldiers.
In Zhang Jingyuan's eyes, he was already a dead body.
"My lord, spare my life, my lord!"
Bai Yan finally knew that his death was coming, and said with a mournful face:
“The villain is wrong, the villain is guilty!
Sir, please spare my life! "
"Brother Gu, Brother Gu, please say something to me~"
Seeing that Zhang Jingyuan was unmoved, Bai Yan turned his attention to Gu Sinian for help:
"Brother Gu, we are friends, please help me say something."
"friend?"
Gu Sinian sarcastically said:
"When you evacuated Xibao Stronghold without saying a word, why didn't you remember that we were friends?
Putting all the blame on Chen Baihu, do you think I will believe it? "
Bai Yan was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Gu Sinian knew it, but he never showed it.
Bai Yan slumped on the ground like a pile of mud, his eyes wandering.
Zhang Jingyuan and Wang Yan walked out of the military tent slowly. Before leaving, they patted Gu Sinian on the shoulder and said:
"I'll leave these people to you, please do it more cleanly~"
Zhang Jingyuan didn't want to stay for even a moment longer now, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
"promise!"
Gu Sinian bowed and clasped his fists:
"Captain, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
After Zhang Jingyuan left, there was still a large group of people in the room. Qin Xi, Zeng Lingchuan, and Blacksmith all stared at Bai Yan angrily.
Wan Feng, who was tied to the ground, seemed to realize what was about to happen, and said bitterly:
"Brother Gu, we can't stand you in the first battle with Erdaosha.
sorry.
I, Wan Feng, am willing to be buried with those dead brothers!
Let’s do it~”
Wan Feng closed his eyes slightly and faced death calmly.
Gu Sinian looked at Wan Feng calmly, then helped him up amidst his shocked eyes, gently untied the rope and said:
"Feng Yaozi, you have a conscience and are not a wolf-hearted person like him.
If you and these brothers are willing, you can come under my command from now on and we will be brothers. "
Wan Feng and the others were all shocked. After such a thing, Gu Sinian was still willing to accept them, and they were immediately moved.
"I dare not say that I will get promoted or make a fortune. As long as I have something to eat, my brothers will not be hungry."
Gu Sinian asked sincerely:
"how?"
Several people looked at each other, and then nodded solemnly in unison:
"I'll wait for you from now on, but the adults will follow your lead!"
"good!"
Gu Si young said:
"You guys should go back to camp. What happened today is all rotten in your stomach. Just pretend that nothing happened."
"promise!"
Several people filed out. Before leaving, Wan Feng took a deep look at Bai Yan, because he knew that Bai Yan would not be able to walk out of this room alive.
"Stab~"
Gu Sinian pulled up a stool and sat in front of Bai Yan. He said nothing and looked at him coldly.
"Gu, Brother Gu. Please spare my life."
Tears and snot flowed down Bai Yan's cheek:
"Spare me, spare me!"
Gu Sinian's face was expressionless:
"I just want to ask, we haven't offended you, have we?
Why should our brothers be left to die in Erdaosha? Just to be the queen for you? "
"No, that's not the case."
Bai Yan shook his head in panic:
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
"Fuck your motherfucker!"
Zeng Lingchuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Bai Yan's collar and said:
"You were afraid of death, but you still pushed us into a pit of fire!
Sixty-four lives, all living men, all died just because of your one thought! "
"Son of a bitch!"
The blacksmith became even more impatient and kicked Bai Yan over:
“It’s a waste that we still consider you a friend!
Those who stab you in the back should die! "
"I was wrong, really wrong, please forgive me!"
“Please, spare my life!
Brother Gu, I still have a lot of money hidden in my camp, and it all belongs to you. I just ask you to let me go! "
Bai Yan cried bitterly, with a look of remorse on his face. In the face of death, few people can bear it.
"Let you go?"
Gu Sinian gritted his teeth and asked:
"If I let you go, will the sixty-four brothers survive?"
Bai Yan's eyes were desperate, he knew that Gu Sinian would never let him go.
Gu Sinian glanced at Qin Xi:
"Let's do it~"
"rub!"
Qin Xi coldly pulled out his scimitar and walked towards Bai Yan step by step.
"No, no, no!"
"laugh!"
As Bai Yan screamed in horror, the scimitar stabbed into his chest fiercely, and blood spurted out wildly.
Then Zeng Lingchuan took the knife and stabbed it in again.
"Die!"
"Chubby!"
"Pfft~"
"This is your debt!"
Qin Xi, Zeng Lingchuan, Wu Xiang, Blacksmith, and Lin Yihuai, each with one sword.
After stabbing him five times, Bai Yan's body remained motionless, and the faint smell of blood floated in the air.
Gu Sinian didn't take any action, just looked at Bai Yan's body calmly:
"He taught us a lesson. In this military camp, no one can be trusted easily.
No one can be relied upon, we can only rely on ourselves! "
The five confidants looked at Gu Sinian, and there was silence in the room.
Gu Sinian stood up slowly and said coldly:
“From today on, we can only keep climbing up to a position where no one dares to bully us!
You must remember that the weak will prey on the strong, and if you don’t have a strong fist, you will be bullied! "
