My hands were trembling constantly. At this time, my voice was so suppressed that it changed a little: "Do you think I will help you?"

Xie Feng said in a deep voice: "I think Miss Yan will want to protect those common people."

I said, "Mr. Xie thinks I will protect those people, that is, you actually want to protect them, so you come to ask me for help. Right?"

"..." He was silent and did not speak.

I continued, "Since you want to protect those people, and since you have such a conscience in your heart, why do you still have to do these things?"

“…”

"If I don't promise you today, in those three days, when he wants to massacre the city, will you become one of the slaughter swords?"

He was silent for a while and said, "I won't."

I looked into his dark eyes and said slowly, "But you won't stop it, are you?"

He said: "Military orders are like mountains."

“…”

"Every step we go north may be his way to ascend the throne. Every move of ours may affect the situation of the world and every person who surrenders to us. If he does not believe in his words, it is not enough to win the trust of the world."

“…”

"The letter has been passed on. Wen Fengxi will do it."

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at me and said solemnly: "If Wen Fengxi did not surrender to the city, I would not stop the massacre in three days!"

“…!”

At this moment, my eyes turned red when I looked at him.

"I originally thought that a person's martial arts cultivation would be the same as his character."

“…”

"Mr. Xie has such strength. I thought Mr. Xie would also be a person who cares about the world and compassionately cares about the people."

“…”

"But I didn't expect that Mr. Xie would do this - to help the evildoer."

Assisting the evil in order to abuse, these four words were like a red-burned needle, piercing into Xie Feng's chest. I saw his brows frowning suddenly, and a clear look of pain flashed in his eyes.

But soon, he suppressed his pain and looked up at me: "Ms. Yan thinks I am a person who helps the evildoer?"

“…”

"Miss Yan believes that if Mr. Pei succeeds and ascends the throne to the emperor, will he be a king of Jie and Zhou?"

The king of Jie and Zhou.

This time, these four words were like sharp needles, piercing into my chest.

I trembled for a moment, but didn't say anything, and Xie Feng frowned and kept looking at me: "Do you really think so?"

I turned my head and didn't look at his gaze: "What I think, it doesn't matter."

"important."

Xie Feng frowned and looked at me: "I want to know your true thoughts."

I said lightly: "He is going to massacre the city, and you still ask me what I think?"

"But now the arrow is on the string and I have to fire it. No matter who gets this step, I can only use this method to win. One general will succeed and thousands of bones are woven."

"One general succeeds, thousands of bones are woven..."

"That's right," he said: "We are facing war now, an extraordinary period, and it is not surprising to use extraordinary means. You cannot just determine that he will ascend to the throne in the future and will not be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people."

“…”

I lowered my eyelids and said slowly: "I can't believe what's in front of me. How do you tell me to believe that it hasn't happened yet?"

“…!”

Xie Feng was slightly stunned.

At this moment, he seemed to be a little confused.

Then I looked up at him and said with a little coldness: "Xie Feng, I don't know who you are. You know the Eight Pillar Kingdoms. You know more about the previous dynasty than many people. Why did you help Pei Yuanxiu? I don't know what your purpose is. But I can only tell you that what I know, hear, feel and think makes it impossible for me to stand on him and on your side."

He fell silent.

I don’t know how long he took a long breath. When he opened his eyes, I saw his eyes fading away from the previous entanglement and doubts, as if he was still determined, and said to me: “Then, let’s only talk about the present.”

“…”

"Miss Yan, it only takes three days. The lives of thousands of people in Yangzhou are hanging on the line. It depends on what decision Wen Fengxi will make."

“…”

"And you can influence this decision."

“…”

"Do you want Wen Fengxi to make a decision, whether it is life or death?"

“…”

That night, Pei Yuanxiu arrived in my room again.

However, he came much later than usual. I had already gone to bed and rested. But my thoughts made me feel confused and I couldn't fall asleep at all. At this moment, I heard the sound of him pushing the door in.

My shoulders twitched subconsciously.

He slowly walked to the edge of the bed, bent down to look at me for a while, I slept with my back to him, facing the wall, but he still felt my awakening. He smiled, suddenly blew out the candlestick beside him, went to bed and lifted the quilt and crawled in, put my hands on my waist, and his warm body came over.

I was as stiff as a stone.

I was afraid that he would do something, but he seemed very tired tonight and did not do anything else. He just put his chin on my shoulder and said softly to my ears: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

“…”

"Does it feel uncomfortable to see the wind during the day?"

At this time, I would bit my lower lip tightly and pretend that I was asleep and refused to communicate with him tonight, but I couldn't do it. The words Xie Feng said to me in the daytime echoed in my mind all the time.

I didn't look back, but just maintained the posture of being held tightly in his arms, and slowly said, "In three days, will you massacre the city in Yangzhou?"

The long breath in my ear suddenly paused.

After a while of silence, he said, "Who told you?"

“…”

"Xie Feng?"

“…”

"He came to you and told you this?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I did not answer this question, but gritted my teeth: "Suddenly, three days later, Wen Fengxi did not surrender to the city. Will you really massacre the city?"

“…”

He was silent for a while, and then said, "Military orders are like mountains."

This time, I finally turned my head and looked at him in a dark darkness. I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. I could only see those eyes flashing slightly in the darkness.

The coldness is so heartbroken.

I said tremblingly, "Do you know how many people are in Yangzhou City?"

“…”

"You want to kill them all?"

“…”

"Are you really going to do this?"

In the darkness, his breath slowly blew on my face and said clearly: "I don't have to kill them."

“…”

"I gave them a choice for life."

“…”

“But if they have to choose another path, it’s not my responsibility.”

Perhaps I felt the chill in his words had penetrated into me, and I trembled. His hands hugged my waist tighter, almost immersing me in his arms, and said softly to my ears: "Light, don't worry about these things."

“…”

"It's too late, go to bed."

He said, and slowly closed his eyes.

But I have no choice.
