Finally, Corporal Zhang could no longer resist the effects of the drug and confessed honestly: "This time, the city was massacred because General Zhou was obsessed with wine and women and was stubborn and self-willed. That's why the enemy took advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the city, open the city gates, and let 200,000 troops pour into Feishui County and massacre the people in the city.
"I'm guilty and ashamed of the people. If we had all stood firm and fought the enemy to the death, so many people wouldn't have died. This is all General Zhou's fault. He was afraid his deeds would be known to the prince, so he sent us to kill and silence them." Zhang Yu spoke emotionally, sometimes sad, sometimes tearful, and sometimes mad. Perhaps it was because the memory of the scene at that time made the fear and sadness hidden in his heart surge out, and he couldn't bear it for a while, and went crazy.
Forget it, there’s no need to ask any more questions this time, Zhang Yu confessed everything.
Many of the generals, captains, and centurions following Shangguan Feiyun were in cahoots with General Zhou and participated to some extent. They were also part of the drinking and having fun.
At this moment, I was trembling with fear, thinking: It's over! This time it's really over!
Some people who were not in General Zhou's group also suspected General Zhou after the massacre. However, they did not dare to slander him because they had no evidence and the other party was also his superior.
General Zhou now hung his head helplessly. He knew that his career as a general was over and his family was in danger. He was afraid that his entire family would be executed this time. He hoped not to implicate his clansmen and fellow villagers.
He was born in the countryside and had to work hard since childhood, with no food to eat. He was tired of that kind of life and vowed to lead his family to a life of plenty and a better life.
At the age of fifteen, he resolutely joined the army. He was not afraid of the hard training in the barracks and soon went to the battlefield.
Because he was able to endure hardships, was quick to react, and was not afraid of death, he quickly attracted the attention of the squad leader and was kept by his side.
After fighting epidemics of all sizes, he was quickly promoted to squad leader and sergeant due to his outstanding performance.
He fought hard on the battlefield and was promoted all the time. It took him ten years to be promoted to general and was sent to guard the border.
Although guarding the border is difficult and dangerous, it is the fastest way to get promoted and make money.
Ever since he became a general, he has been constantly flattered and given gifts, which made him feel elated. Not content with this, he began to indulge in alcohol and sex.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
If you live a decadent life of alcoholism and debauchery, it is impossible to live a poor life and you can only sink into depravity.
"Capture Lieutenant General Tang and put General Zhou in jail, and wait for my order!" Shangguan Feiyun's words interrupted General Zhou's thoughts.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Several soldiers came out to escort General Zhou, and a dozen soldiers went to find Lieutenant General Tang.
Soon, Lieutenant General Tang was captured.
It turned out that when he saw the assassination failed and the general was taken away, he knew that the matter was exposed, so he quickly packed up his valuables and prepared to escape.
Outside the gate of Leshan County, he was caught by soldiers and taken back to the county government office.
Li Yun gave General Zhou and Deputy General Tang a truth-telling drug and interrogated them for two hours, finally getting them to confess all their accomplices.
Shangguan Feiyun ordered the soldiers to take those people to prison and send people to guard them strictly. They would not be sentenced until the soldiers of the United States of America were annihilated.
It was not until the evening that Shangguan Feiyun finished dealing with military affairs and had dinner with Li Yun. Then the two of them slipped into the space and went to fight the goblins.
Just as the sky was getting light, a soldier came to report that two men had arrived, claiming to be the princess's men, named Changjiang and An Yi.
When Li Yun heard the names, he was extremely happy. With the two of them here, he could finally go to collect the national treasury.
Li Yun let them in, and Changjiang and An Yi were quickly brought in.
"Greetings, master!" Changjiang and An Yi walked in together. Both of them were very happy, talking and laughing.
"Wake up, why are you here together?
Also, how are my father and adoptive father doing?" Li Yun saw the two and anxiously asked about the situation of the Duke of Huguo and the Marquis of Dingbei.
"My lord, the Duke is doing well.
When we arrived at the border, the county soldiers refused to let us in and insisted that General Zhenyuan verify whether the Duke was real or fake before letting us in.
Just at this time, General Yamamoto of Fuso brought his men over and fought with us, but was forced to flee after being blown away by our grenades.
"Master, you have no idea how inspiring it was at that time." Changjiang told Li Yun everything that happened when they arrived at the border. He spoke in a loud and clear voice, even imitating Yamamoto's angry expression, which made Li Yun laugh.
“When we arrived at the border, it was similar to the situation at the Yangtze River. We were not allowed to enter the county and had to wait for General Wu to come and confirm the authenticity.
During the waiting period, General Tao of Dayuan came with his elite troops to capture the Marquis, but they suffered heavy losses in the explosion caused by our grenades and fled in panic.
Before General Tao escaped, the Marquis used a murderous move to undermine the trust between General Tao and the Dayuan soldiers. It was really gratifying.
"Master, you don't know how funny his stiff body was when the Marquis invited him as a guest." An Yi also told Li Yun everything that happened when they arrived at the border, and Li Yun laughed heartily.
"My adoptive father is smart. He knows how to use sowing discord and make them fight each other.
After this incident, I believe it will be difficult for General Tao to get orders from the army, and my adoptive father will have some peace. "After listening to this, Li Yun felt that his adoptive father was too cunning. He wanted to let them fight among themselves, so as to disintegrate them and give them no time to attack, so that they could wait for the arrival of the army.
"That's right, the Marquis said that Dayuan won't attack in the short term, so they are safe. As long as they wait for the army to arrive, they can drive away the Dayuan army.
The Marquis told his subordinates to tell the master not to worry, saying he had a way to deal with the Dayuan army. An Yi repeated what the Marquis of Dingbei had told him to say and told Li Yun everything.
"I believe in my foster father. He has a way to guard the border until the army arrives."
"Since you are here, stay here and defend Leshan County. The prince and I have something to do and will be away for about ten days. We will then return to annihilate the United States of America with you."
"However, the news of my departure, the prince, and I, must not be known to anyone else. We should tell everyone that we are going to Huangshan County to see how the people are being resettled."
Li Yun wanted to leave tonight, so he arranged work for the two of them and gave them some instructions.
"Master, how about I go with you, and leave An Yi here to take charge of the situation.
With my joining, I can protect the master's safety. Moreover, we work together very well, and we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. " Changjiang's mood suddenly turned bad when he heard that he and An Yi were to be left here.
He didn't want to work like a slave here and deal with all these tedious matters. He wanted to follow his master and do bad things.
“Master, don’t listen to Changjiang. Leave him here and I will go with you.
My kung fu is no worse than Changjiang's, and I can protect the master well. " When An Yi heard that Changjiang was vying to go with him, he was in a bad mood and did not hesitate to compete for his favor.
"Shut up, all of you. As long as I'm here, you all stay here and I'm responsible for Yun'er's safety." Shangguan Feiyun shouted angrily. He was so angry. Yun'er was his, and he needed their protection while he was there.
They all lack good judgment. Don't you know that this will hinder the development of their relationship?
