Chapter 35

The World of Truth held him down and asked, "Where do you want me to go and what do you want me to do?"

The deputy general sighed, "What else can I do? I'll cover up for you, you just leave here quickly, anywhere is fine, as long as you don't get caught by them, with your ability, there's no place you can't survive? You seem very smart at ordinary times, why are you suddenly confused now? You're not the one who's obsessed with lust. Do you have a fever?"

The World of Truth smiled and said, "It's okay, he has fainted, not dead, don't worry, you can see him wake up the next morning."

The deputy general was skeptical, "Really?"

The World of Truth nodded.

The deputy general still touched the forehead of the world of truth: "Come to think of it, you are so nice to me, could it be that you have a fever? I still doubt it."

The world of truth opened his hand: "You just want to find fault, right?"

The deputy general smiled: "You look much more normal now."

The world of truth snorted: "Then I'll leave."

The deputy general waved his hand: "I'm relieved to see that you are fine, you can go back. I can also help you with the aftermath if there is any problem."

The world of truth did not answer.

The next morning, Lin Yicheng hurried back to Kyoto.

When he arrived in Kyoto, Lin Yicheng first found Prime Minister Huang to tell him about this incident and sighed. Prime Minister Huang thought about it and asked him not to be polite when reporting to the emperor. When Lin Yicheng met the emperor, he openly told the generals that they had ulterior motives.

The emperor was skeptical and asked Lin Yicheng to go again with his imperial edict and the imperial pen.

Lin Yicheng asked, "What are you going to do this time?"

The emperor said, "Tell them to obey orders and not disobey, send troops as soon as possible, seize the opportunity, pursue the victory, and kill the rebel leader. In short, don't miss the opportunity."

Lin Yicheng nodded, took the imperial edict and left, and returned to the position. The people in the position were still waiting to collect the money.

Lin Yicheng met the general again and said to him: "This time it is the emperor's order, you can't disobey!"

The general read the order, closed his eyes, and said to Lin Yicheng: "It's not that I don't act according to the order, but there is a reason for staying here now. If you go out now, you will be ambushed by the enemy. Then, victory will turn into defeat. Once the defeat begins, it is irreversible! I can't do this according to the order, it will kill everyone!"

Lin Yicheng widened his eyes, slapped the table, stood up and sneered: "You just want to disobey the order! I warn you, disobeying the emperor's will will not have a good result. You'd better be obedient."

The general covered his abdomen and sighed: "Why can't you make any sense?"

He pressed his stomach, waved his hand, and told the soldiers: "Drag him out and behead him."

Lin Yicheng shouted: "You can't do this!"

The general had no intention of changing his mind. Lin Yicheng shouted to the world of truth next to him: "Please, save me! I didn't mean to do it, I'm just a messenger, I can't make the decision! Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

No one spoke for him.

He died just like that.

The deputy general asked, "What should we do with the imperial edict?"

The general said, "Put it aside. When someone comes next time, we will explain the reason to them again. If they don't listen, we will return the things to them. If they can die, then let them die. If not, forget it."

The deputy general nodded and put the things in a box.

Not long after, the emperor sent another person to come. When that person was still on the way, the world of truth got the news. It was said that the person who came this time was Prime Minister Huang.

"Prime Minister Huang's people were killed by us, and he will definitely not let it go."

The deputy general was a little worried.

"This is not a matter of whether he will let it go. Since he came here, it must be for a reason. What should we do if he brings another imperial edict?"

The general asked with his eyes closed.

"Just wait for death."

The world of truth answered.

The general opened his eyes and asked: "Is there no other way?"

The World of Truth thought for a while and said: "It's not that there is no other way. Why don't we disobey the order? Even if a few of us die, the other soldiers can survive, the war can be won, and the enemy's traps won't kill people. It's better than all of us dying together. What do you think?"

The deputy general frowned and said: "But, disobeying the order is a capital crime, and it is very likely that all nine clans will be implicated. We can't gamble with all nine clans, right?"

The World of Truth smiled and said: "I don't care. Since you ask, I will. That being said, whether to do it or not is entirely up to you. I can’t make the decision alone.”

The deputy general said, “Yes, there is only one person in your clan, so it doesn’t matter. My clan cannot compare to so many soldiers, nor can it be compared to the fate of a country, nor can it be compared to the victory of the war. If I were to choose, I would also be willing, but I’m afraid they would not be happy. Who would be willing to turn around and die because of the illness of an unknown relative?”

The general opened his eyes and said, “Don’t talk so sadly, as if we must now implicate others and let them die. Same. Maybe only we will be sentenced to death, while our relatives and friends will not be dragged down?"

The deputy general sighed: "That's all we can hope for."

The world of truth asked: "Are you willing?"

The general smiled and said: "Why not? Although we must be loyal to the emperor and love our country, we also have to see when. If we must die according to the order, we have the right to choose, at least, we can choose how we die. Since we are going to die anyway, it is better to die to save more lives than to implicate more people because of blind loyalty. "Is it true?"

He blinked, his eyes a little confused: "I hope they don't blame us too much."

The World of Truth laughed disappointedly: "I'm afraid it's out of my control. We're going to die anyway, and we're definitely going to die first. No one knows what will happen after we die, but we may still be able to fight for the things before we die. If we can win before the executioners sent by the emperor to deal with those who disobey his order arrive here, maybe the emperor will not give us the death penalty for our victory."

Everyone's eyes fell on the World of Truth.

The World of Truth paused: "As long as we are exiled, we still have a chance to survive. After all, we are not old enough to die, right?"

The deputy general sighed: "How easy is that? Although the conditions for victory are clear, as long as we can be patient and wait for ten days, half a month, or at most a month, the enemy will surely be defeated due to lack of food and grass. However, we can wait, but the emperor can't, Prime Minister Huang can't, and the people and orders sent by the Prime Minister can't wait! What can we do?"

The World of Truth laughed: " It's the same old saying. We're all going to die anyway. So, we might as well find a way to make up for our crimes, or let more people live. If the war fails, we won't be the only ones to die. But if the war is won, we can die without regrets, right? Who goes to the battlefield to die unjustly for the superiors?"

He stopped smiling and asked, "Who goes to the battlefield to show off their military merits for others? " Who came here to lose their lives? Who came here to watch the people suffer in the war? Who came here to die for the sake of power? Who went to the battlefield hoping to lose? None of them, right? Since none of them are, why should we listen to those irrelevant words! They are not here, they are not on the battlefield, and they are not soldiers. "

The World of Truth gritted his teeth: "They will not die here, so of course it doesn't matter to them! I I don't think they can do whatever they want with this kind of thing. What do they know? They don't know the situation, they are not generals, and they can't understand what I say. Haven't we done this kind of thing before, analyzing the situation with them? At worst, we can try it again, and you can see if it can succeed. "

He took a deep breath and said, "There is no way out for this kind of thing, but we don't have a way out now. You don't think you can survive after disobeying the order, do you? The current emperor is not such a good person. The queen can be deposed at will, the son can be killed at will, the daughter-in-law can be robbed, and the princess can be forced to death. Who can be forgiven in the eyes of the emperor? I'm afraid we are not included."

The deputy general stared at him in a daze, and seemed to be struggling. He murmured, "Then are we just going to accept our fate?"

The World of Truth had a sarcastic smile on his face and asked, "If we Accept your fate, why would you kill anyone? Why would you resist an order? If you are willing to accept your fate, I won't say anything. Do you accept it?"

The deputy general shook his head: "I don't want to accept it."

The World of Truth snorted and laughed: "It's over, who wants to die like that?"

The deputy general looked at the World of Truth and asked: "Is there really no other way? Do we have to die?"

The World of Truth sighed: "Why can't you understand it now? Now I don't understand it. Dead, you will die in the future. The general laughed: "Even if you are dead, you will die with you . If

you send it to death ,
