Chapter 145 Hit Me and Try It
Ling Zijie was not someone who would be easily fooled. To be on the safe side, Feng Qi had her tied up tightly to avoid revealing any flaws.
The original plan was for her to take a ride to Beijing and kill Yuan Shikai directly. It was not a problem for the army to capture Cangzhou with its artillery.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Datou was quite cautious and wanted to execute her on the spot.
Feng Qi and Dai Qi's backup plan was to untie the ropes when no one was around, take a small team of more than 20 people, kill a few officers, and join forces with the large army outside the city.
But something went wrong again because Ling Zijie disagreed to let Feng Qi be taken away and he wanted to keep an eye on him.
So the chair Feng Qi was sitting on was only a few steps away from their dining table, and his entire body was under their surveillance.
When Feng Qi saw Master Dai Qi silently wiping his sweat and casting helpless glances at him from time to time, he knew that he could not count on him.
At the next table were the guards she brought with her. Feng Qi lowered his head and rubbed his nose on his lapel, which was a signal for them to prepare for action.
Then some smart guards started to stand up and go to the main table to toast, and Feng Qi took the opportunity to speed up his movements.
But at this moment, Ling Zijie, whose face was red from drinking, suddenly stood up and said, "General Feng, can you sing a song or dance? To cheer us up."
Feng Qi stared at him, "I will kill people."
Ling Zijie's face darkened. "It seems that Commander Feng has no awareness of being a prisoner. Prisoners must be treated like slaves and must obey any request. If you don't obey, you will suffer."
Feng Qi sneered, "Anyone who messes with me will be miserable."
The two of them were at loggerheads, and Master Dai Qi stood up nervously, "Brother Zijie, come back and have a drink. Come, I'll toast you..."
Before he finished his words, there was a loud slap and Ling Zijie slapped Feng Qi hard. The room suddenly fell silent.
The people outside the house heard the noise and whispered, "The commander is abusing the prisoners again."
Feng Qi licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, "One!"
Ling Zijie was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Master Dai Qi hurried over to hold him back, "Brother Zijie, why make things so bloody when we're having a meal? Forget it, don't bother with her."
Ling Zijie refused, "She dares to count? I will slap her a hundred times today."
At this time, a young officer stood up and said, "Commander, even prisoners of war have dignity. We should abide by the Geneva Convention and not mistreat prisoners."
Ling Zijie narrowed his eyes and slapped him in the face.
"Teach me a lesson? You're using the tricks you learned in military school to teach me? I'm telling you, Xu Kelin, don't try to teach me how to do things."
The young officer gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Then please allow me to go back and rest. I really don't like to watch others get beaten."
Ling Zijie just picked up the chopsticks and threw them at him, "What do you mean?"
The people around him quickly changed their tune and said, "Commander, don't be angry. Those who graduated from military academies have only scholarly brains and are extremely stupid."
"That's right. What's wrong with abusing prisoners of war? Abusing prisoners of war is the right of the victor. Commander Xu, you won't even deprive the commander of this hobby, will you?"
Ling Zijie became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He slammed his glass and said, "I order you to slap her a hundred times."
Xu Kelin remained silent, and Feng Qi laughed, "Ling Zijie, why don't you do it yourself? Are you afraid that I will count for you?"
"What a joke," Ling Zijie stood up again and walked in front of Feng Qi, "Am I afraid of you? Even if you count to one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand, what can you do to me?"
Feng Qi snorted coldly, "Try to hit me again."
Ling Zijie rolled up his sleeves, but just as he raised his hand, he suddenly froze there.
He had his back to the table. When everyone was about to stand up to take a look, the guards beside them stood behind them, put guns to their heads, and whispered, "Don't move!"
Everyone raised their hands instinctively, only to see that Feng Qi had cut the rope at some point and was holding a sharp dagger against Ling Zijie's throat.
Feng Qi stuffed a piece of rope into Ling Zijie's mouth to prevent him from shouting, and looked at his bulging cheeks like a toad, smiling particularly brightly.
"You just slapped me, I'm going to slap you ten times back."
Before she finished speaking, she swung the dagger. With a clang, the tip of the knife stabbed into the pillar beside her, still trembling.
Feng Qi pushed Ling Zijie onto the chair, swung his arm hard, and with a crisp sound, everyone in the room shook at the same time.
Ling Zijie's eyes became dazed after being slapped in the face, blood was flowing out of his nose, and half of his face was swollen.
Feng Qi attacked from both sides and slapped them in the face.
Finally, he picked up the semi-conscious Ling Zijie, stood up, kicked him against the pillar, and threw the chair under his feet over to him.
With a loud crash, the stool hit Ling Zijie with great force and broke into pieces.
The people outside listened to the noise inside and looked at each other in fear. "Why is the commander so strong today? He beat her so fiercely. He is not going to beat that woman to death, is he?"
At this moment, Ling Zijie had blood on his head and was not far from death.
Feng Qi squatted down beside him and looked at his ugly face. "Who the hell are you? How dare you hit me in the face? I have never been treated like this before. Go to hell."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, pulled out the dagger from the pillar, and cut his throat neatly.
Seeing Ling Zijie die in front of them, the others were so scared that their faces turned pale and they dared not say a word.
Feng Qi came over and planned to give them a speech to persuade them to surrender.
Before leaving, Luo Jiu taught her a set of rhetoric. What was it?
"You all must have heard of the idiom, 'The dark clouds bring light to the dark nights'... That's not right!"
If it’s not a ray of hope, then what is it?
Feng Qi was afraid of forgetting it, so he recited it all the way, but he forgot it after typing it a lot and just couldn't remember it no matter what.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it. Anyway, I just want to ask for your help. Are you willing to follow the National Salvation Army?"
The people at the table looked at each other, Feng Qi was furious, "You bastards, I gave you face, and you still hesitated?
I don't think you are good people, I don't care if you follow me!"
While Feng Qi was speaking, she had already grasped two butterfly knives in her hands. She kicked Xu Kelin and his chair more than a meter away, and waved the butterfly knife in a dazzling manner. Before anyone could react, she killed everyone at the table.
She looked back at Xu Kelin and said, "Are you okay? Do you want to work with us?"
Xu Kelin was still in a daze from the beginning until now. He was trying hard to think, but Feng Qi slapped his head and said, "Shit! I remember now. The phrase is to abandon darkness and join the light."
We are fighting against the foreign powers, we are different from those warlords, will you join us?"
Xu Kelin looked at the butterfly knife in her hand that was still dripping with blood and nodded vigorously. Regardless of whether to fight the war or not, the main thing was that he wanted to save his life.
Division Master Dai Qi came over, holding his frightened heart, and said, "Commander, let Commander Xu take us to open the city gate. Once the army enters the city, we can quickly report the good news to the commander."
