Chapter 518 Infighting
Song Zhiyuan has been dozing with his eyes closed since dark.
For some reason, he felt very uneasy tonight and felt suffocated.
He didn't dare to think about what he had seen and heard in the past few days.
He was afraid that if he thought about it, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Here... he saw hope.
If he could, he didn't want to ruin everything here, but sometimes he had no choice.
Song Zhiyuan forced himself to be cruel.
At the end of the hour of Hai, he suddenly opened his eyes, then stood up expressionlessly, and lowered his voice to ask everyone to get up and prepare for action.
After finishing his work, he immediately led his men to the direction of Beijia Village under the cover of night.
After hiding here for a few days, he has already figured out the surrounding terrain.
So, after coming down from the mountain, we headed straight to Beijia Village.
These people are worthy of being the elite of the Zhenbei Army. Not only are they quick in action, but the entire process is also very smooth.
Soon, they reached the outskirts of Beijia Village and found various places to hide.
After seeing the signal from the person waiting at the village entrance, Song Zhiyuan looked behind him and lowered his voice.
“Now, follow me into the village.
Remember, from now on let go of the burden in your heart and don't think about anything.
Obeying military orders is a soldier's duty. You are just following orders. Do you understand?"
Looking at his subordinates nodding, Song Zhiyuan continued to prepare himself mentally.
Using more than a hundred people in exchange for peace in the entire Mo City during the winter is a worthwhile deal!
After a moment, Song Zhiyuan pursed his lips and said, "After we go in, as long as there are people alive..."
He paused, gritted his teeth and touched his neck:
"Kill without mercy."
"Walk!"
After saying that, he immediately led his men to move quickly forward.
Song Zhiyuan didn't know that his every move was seen by Lin Mo and others.
Lin Mo shook his head.
These people are really inhumane.
They were soldiers, and the sharp blades in their hands were originally aimed at the enemies who invaded their homes, as well as the real bandits and roving robbers.
But unexpectedly, they pointed their knives at innocent people.
So, she had no sympathy for these people.
You deserve whatever fate you get for being an accomplice to a crime.
Lin Mo looked at Xu Dapeng beside him.
Xu Dapeng understood and walked aside to pass on the signal for action.
He and Xu Qingfeng had agreed that when they were about to take action, they would make three bird calls.
The three bird calls that Xu Dapeng learned were particularly clear and loud in the middle of the night.
Even Xu Qingfeng, who was far away, heard it clearly.
It's my side now.
He looked at Song Tianlei, who was beaten black and blue, and said with a slight smile, "Let's go."
After saying that, he pressed Song Tianlei towards the center of the road, waiting for Song Zhiyuan to appear.
Not long after, Song Zhiyuan appeared in front of him with his men.
Song Zhiyuan was also shocked when he saw two people standing in the middle of the dark road ahead.
Subconsciously, he stretched out his hand and asked his men to stop.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the person in front of him neither moved nor made a sound, he thought for a moment, drew his sword, and slowly walked forward.
It is not easy to appear here at this time.
His heart began to beat wildly, and a bad premonition suddenly came to his mind.
The closer we get, the stronger this premonition becomes.
When he got closer and saw clearly who the person being held hostage by a strange man was, Song Zhiyuan was stunned.
Why is Song Tianlei here?
Not only was he beaten, but he was also taken hostage.
Song Tianlei gave Song Zhiyuan a wry smile and said, "Don't worry about me. Just do what you need to do! Let's do it."
Although the other party had been prepared, we had more people on our side, so we were not without a chance of winning.
Xu Qingfeng looked at Song Tianlei and sneered:
"You are really loyal to Song Yi. Even after falling into my hands, you still want to help him complete the task.
Why, the lives of these five hundred people are so worthless in your eyes?
Or do you want to wait until we, the Xu family, have almost killed them all before you come out and reap their lives? That way, fewer people will die at your hands, and your sense of guilt will be less intense."
Song Tianlei's face turned pale and he pursed his lips, "Song Zhiyuan, don't listen to his nonsense, everything he said is false."
Song Zhiyuan has his own judgment on whether it is true or not.
They grew up together, and he could tell whether Song Tianlei was lying or not.
When the strange man said these words just now, Song Tianlei pursed his lips, which was a sign of his guilty conscience.
He didn't look at Song Tianlei, but at Xu Qingfeng:
"What did you mean by that?"
Xu Qingfeng sneered, "What do you mean?
I can't even understand the literal meaning, no wonder I was fooled around so hard."
Seeing that the other party was about to get angry, Xu Qingfeng did not give him a chance to speak, but continued:
"You pretended to be bandits and came to rob the Xu family, but do you know how Song Yi treated you?"
As he spoke, he looked at Song Tianlei beside him with a mocking expression:
"You robbed the Xu family one foot, and the next foot Song Tianlei brought people to wipe you out as bandits, and then everything you plundered fell into his hands rightfully."
It's ownerless, so just take it. Who dares to say anything?
Although Xu Qingfeng's voice was not very loud, it was not small either, so everyone around him heard it, and because they heard it, everyone was in an uproar.
"What? The general wants to kill us as bandits. How is this possible?"
"It doesn't seem impossible. Have you noticed that many of our brothers have disappeared inexplicably before? I'm afraid they were silenced."
"So, the General really wants to kill us? I don't want to die!"
…
Song Zhiyuan's face looked very ugly. He turned around and looked behind him and shouted angrily:
"Be quiet, you hear me!"
After everyone quieted down, he looked at Xu Qingfeng with a sullen face:
"The General would never do this to us."
As he said this, he clenched his hands tightly to prevent his nervousness from betraying him.
"No?" Xu Qingfeng sneered:
"Did he tell you that the imperial court didn't allocate any food or military pay to the Zhenbei Army? But if I tell you that compared to the Zhennan Army, the imperial court allocated the most military pay and food to the Zhenbei Army, what do you think?
And it is paid on time every month. Even if it is delayed, it will not be delayed for more than ten days!"
But the Zhennan Army did not have such good benefits.
The color on Song Zhiyuan's face instantly faded. This... this couldn't be true.
If this is true, then what have I been doing all these years?
Song Zhiyuan suddenly felt very anxious.
Xu Qingfeng knew that this drastic measure wasn't enough, so he shook his head and asked, "Do you know what the Song family did with all the military pay and rations they embezzled?"
Seeing Song Zhiyuan's eyes wide open again, Xu Qingfeng said coldly word by word:
"Eight hundred miles from Mocheng, they built a den of indulging in pleasure, keeping countless beauties and countless things for people to enjoy.
All of these were built with the military pay and rations he embezzled.
In addition, he would leave the barracks for a few days every month, using the excuse of going home to visit his family.
But I tell you, he went there to have fun."
Seeing that Song Zhiyuan didn't believe him, Xu Qingfeng sneered and looked away. "How long are you going to hide? Come out!"
As Xu Qingfeng finished speaking, Old Tang came out reluctantly with a bruised face.
When he saw Song Zhiyuan, he didn't dare to look directly at him:
"What he said is true. The general took me there before. There really is a den of brothel over there, specifically for the pleasure of rich people."
"Also, I heard with my own ears that the general wanted to kill you and make you take the blame. It's true."
At the end, he shook his head with a look of regret:
"Perhaps because he had done too many evil things, when I escaped, the general seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He was blinded by a wooden splinter, and then his leg was broken by a cabinet.
I was scared, and I didn't want to follow him into these things anymore, so I ran away from the barracks. Who knew I'd end up here and fall into their hands? "
Thinking of this, Old Tang felt depressed.
At this moment, Song Zhiyuan's face turned pale. He stared at Song Tianlei:
"The general asked you to bring people to kill us?
Song Tianlei, tell me the truth. Please tell me the truth because I have saved you so many times."
Song Tianlei didn't dare to look him in the eye and lowered his head:
"The general promised me that he would not take your life. You can rest assured about that."
Song Zhiyuan was disappointed.
If you don't want his life, what about the more than 500 people he brought with him?
How can he feel at ease?
These people were all brought up by myself. They are sons, husbands, fathers, and the pillars of their families.
How can the general kill people at will?
Song Zhiyuan was heartbroken.
The general was really not the general he knew.
At this moment, everyone behind Song Zhiyuan shouted angrily:
"For him, we've done everything we can to harm the world, but he wants to kill us. Why should we follow this man? Why do we still do such evil things? I quit."
"That's right, I'm done with this either. You're making a fool of me. Song Yi is not a human being."
"I'm done with him. I've done so many evil things, and I kept telling myself I did nothing wrong. Now I realize I'm the biggest joke."
…
Song Zhiyuan's confidant Zhao Song stood up, his face full of anger, "Haha, you can save one life, but we all have to die.
Song Zhiyuan, if you want to do something tonight, go ahead and do it yourself. I won’t accompany you any more.”
After saying this, he would call out if anyone was willing to go with him.
He suddenly felt that being a deserter or becoming a bandit would be better than the current situation.
Zhao Song's shout was responded to by most people, and everyone clamored to go out.
Song Zhiyuan frowned. He was about to ask them to come back when Zhao Song and the others shouted angrily:
"Damn it, it's true. Song Yi, that heartless man, really wants to kill us."
"Song Yi, you shameless villain, you will die a miserable death!"
