The two boats got closer and closer, and the fog in front of me became thinner and thinner. But when I turned around, I found that the waterway behind me was almost covered by fog, and I could only see the outline of the big boat, slowly retreating to the south bank.
Wen Fengxi's ship was already in front of him.
In the boat, he was the only one on the boatman who was riding the boat at the stern, wearing armor, a long sword on his waist, and holding his hands behind him, like a mighty statue of a figurine. When I got closer, I finally saw his face clearly.
There were many injuries on the face that originally looked like a woman. I had not had a good rest for about a few days and nights. My eyes were bloodshot and red, my jaw was covered with stubbornness, and my familiar handsome appearance had been completely covered. The person who appeared in front of me was a general who fought bloody battles and was full of murderous aura.
My heartbeat became heavier, and I subconsciously reached out and grabbed my sleeves.
Finally, our boat sailed to the middle of the river. Both boatmen stopped paddling. After slowly pushing forward a little, they gently touched each other.
With a thud, I shook slightly, and Xie Feng behind me immediately reached out to support me.
Wen Fengxi's eyes turned redder as soon as he saw me: "Miss Yan..."
"Sir Wen."
After calling each other, both of us fell silent, but his eyes never left me. Although I am intact, neither hurt nor any signs of abuse, his eyes when he looked at me were still full of pity, even anger, and even regret. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "We are useless and we were unable to save you."
I looked up at him and smiled: "Things in the world are unpredictable."
A smile with all his might, but it was obviously uglier than crying. Wen Fengxi's breathing was a little heavier. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand hanging down on his side and held it hard.
At this moment, Xie Feng, who was standing behind him, coughed lightly.
This sound was actually not loud. In this vast area of water, it was quickly swallowed by the mist and the river wind. However, the inauspicious sound was as thunder as the ears of Wen Fengxi and me. He was shocked immediately, and I looked back at Xie Feng and hurriedly looked at Wen Fengxi.
Immediately, both of them looked a little more tense.
Wen Fengxi finally said, "I heard that Miss Yan offered to come to see me, is she trying to persuade me?"
“…”
I didn't answer this question, just looked at his eyes and said, "I want to know how Master Wen considered the conditions they put forward."
He frowned: "Miss Yan is so kind, wouldn't you know how I think about it?"
I was silent for a moment, bit my lower lip and said, "As a general of the court, what I have to consider must be the overall situation."
"good."
"But, the lives of tens of millions of people in Yangzhou City - did Master Wen not consider it?"
He looked at me coldly and said, "Miss Yan doesn't have to say this to me."
“…”
"I am not the one who really doesn't consider the lives of these people, but the one who wants to massacre Yangzhou City."
“…”
"What you should blame is the cruel killer, not the one who is not prepared for it."
“…”
"It's not my fault that I can't protect the people of Yangzhou City, it's just that I don't have enough force!"
He was like a general, speaking straightforwardly, without giving anyone any room for twilight revolving around. When I listened to his words, the sounds hit the back of my head like a heavy hammer, making me feel a dull pain spread from the depths of my heart.
Suddenly, my face was pale, and I felt the river water under my feet surging constantly, and the hull ripples. I took two steps back.
Xie Feng held my arm faster than just now, frowned and looked at Wen Fengxi, and said in a deep voice: "Master Wen, we are fighting between the two armies, and they are all for their own masters. You also know that we are bound to win Yangzhou. Now, you can still choose. If you really refuse to agree to our conditions in three days and there will be any tragedy, it is your mistake in choosing. At that time, aren't you afraid of leaving an eternal infamy?"
"All the ages of infamous?"
Wen Fengxi suddenly raised his head and laughed.
While smiling, he looked at Xie Feng and said, "You are using this method to persuade me?"
Xie Feng said: "I respectfully heard that Lord is a strong man. I don't want you to leave such a bad reputation, so--"
Wen Fengxi's smile almost became a little ferocious, and he looked at Xie Feng: "Who is it? Should we bear the infamy?"
“…”
"You killed someone and the infamy fell on me?"
“…”
"You can just lie to yourself with such a ridiculous argument. If you want to come and lie to me, I will not be fooled by you so easily!"
“…”
"A villain bullies a sick person. Will I scold the sick person for not protecting myself?"
Xie Feng's face changed, and my breathing also sank.
This sentence is just like when I was in Jixiang Village, when I was preparing to marry Liu Saner with a wonderful word, but was attacked and humiliated by the ignorant village women in the village. I also used this to fight back against them.
Being hurt is not the victim’s fault, but the wrong person who hurts others.
But there are some people who bully good and fear evil, put the cart before the horse, and attribute the responsibility to the victim's powerlessness.
But the facts cannot be changed no matter how distorted!
The hand I pinched the sleeves and tried harder, and saw Wen Fengxi suddenly raised his head and stared at Xie Feng, his eyes like a knife, as if to be carved into the blood and bones of a man. He said word by word: "I can tell you, I - Wen Fengxi, are not afraid of leaving behind a stigma for eternal reasons. If I cannot defeat you in martial arts, I am inferior to others; if I cannot defend Yangzhou, I am stronger than others! But I will not surrender, nor will I surrender. I will advance and retreat with Yangzhou City and live and die together! If you really massacre the city, then the murderer will be you, and you will leave a stigma for eternal reasons!"
His words were like thunder, spreading like thunder in this vast area of water, and the river water, which had already been undulating under his feet, was even more turbulent at this moment.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing his words, Xie Feng's face became more and more pale. He subconsciously took a step back and let go of the hand holding my arm.
I have never seen anyone like Xie Feng have any emotional fluctuations, and at this moment, some of the things he is sticking to have obviously been greatly impacted.
For a moment, he had no response.
I also felt my heart beating violently, but at this moment I could only suppress myself. While Xie Feng had not yet fully recovered, I raised my head and looked at Wen Fengxi and asked softly: "Mr. Wen, is what you just said true?"
“…”
Wen Fengxi blinked, as if he was wondering what I was asking him, and I immediately said, "You said, you are not afraid of leaving a stigma for the ages. Is it true?"
He paused: "Why do you ask that?"
"I only ask Lord Wen if he really has such a determination."
“…”
"Your choice today is related to the lives of the people in a city and the war situation in the entire Central Plains. If you really leave a stigma for the sake of the overall situation, would you like to leave a forever infamous?"
“…”
This time, his face froze.
It is easy to say bold words. When people are in blood heat, they can say anything, but many times, when they really face choices that are not conducive to their own, making that choice is much more difficult than saying a bold word.
I looked into his eyes, so focused that I even forgot to breathe.
He seemed to have realized something, and his face showed a little hesitation. After a long time, he looked up at me.
In those dark eyes, hesitation has receded, leaving behind an extremely firm and fortitude.
He said: "I can do it."
“…”
"Miss Yan can take my words as promises!"
When I heard him say this, I felt relieved.
I pursed my lips and looked at him with a smile: "Cheng Jun Yinuo."
He said, "I will never regret it even if I die."
Xie Feng looked at us from the side, his brows getting tighter and tighter, as if he was conscious of something, and I said calmly: "Since that's the case, I will come out to see the scenery today. I will not advise you again."
As soon as this sentence came out, Xie Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
But Wen Fengxi immediately frowned.
I looked at him and wanted to face it with a smile, but at this moment I couldn't hold on to the smile. I just felt something hot was flowing in my eyes, and I could no longer suppress it.
When Wen Fengxi saw me crying, he was anxious: "Ms. Yan!"
I choked and said, "Sir Wen, I have another thing I want to ask you, which is Qinghan."
Wen Fengxi's face changed and he immediately subconsciously took a step towards me.
He almost forgot that both of us were standing on the boat. This sudden step made his boat sway immediately. I also took a step forward and cried and said, "I don't know whether he is dead or alive now, and I don't know if there is a chance to see him again in this life, but I hope he is still alive and can survive. If one day you can see him, please tell him for me that I have been thinking about him. No matter what happens, if he can survive, he must live well! I--"
I was so crying that I couldn't even take care of stepping onto the side of the boat. As my body trembled, the boat immediately started to shake. The boatman on both of our boats was frightened and hurriedly wanted to stabilize the hull. Wen Fengxi, he was originally very calm and calm, but when he saw me crying like this, he even said Liu Qinghan, frowned and finally couldn't help it. While the two boats were touching each other, the two stood so close again, and as soon as they reached over, they grabbed my hand.
His movements were fast and urgent. He grabbed my hand and even used some uncontrollable force. Then he pulled it and almost pulled me onto his ship!
At this moment, Xie Feng stepped forward with a arrow, and Cang shouted, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed.
