Zhurou

Chapter 200 Left ear

Duan Da was repeatedly interrupted by his words, and was speechless for several times, and finally argued strongly: "Your Highness is so eloquent, although I can't say it, what's the use of just talking nicely? Is it possible to defend the city with only one mouth? Go out of the city It’s death, but if you stay in the city, you’re not dead? Your Highness is acting like this, isn’t it just taking the lives of the soldiers in exchange for your own reputation..."

He said again: "If you want to be capable, first open the gate of the city. At this time, let the soldiers in the city choose themselves, and see if they are willing to leave or stay!"

Zhao Mingzhi said coldly: "The gates of the city will open at that time, and the people in the city can go out as much as they want, but the soldiers' original duty is to protect their homes and the country, and they really shed blood and sweat. It is a country and a community. To be honest, it is a home and a field. It is a family of three, five, seven, and ten. If everyone can guard it, the capital can guard it, and the world can guard it. I can't defend a square inch of land, if I win the trust of the people, I'm a so-called leader, if I can't, I'm just an ordinary person, if I run away, I'm just another you, what is the so-called 'fame' in exchange for?"

When she spoke, her tone was not very emotional, nor was it sonorous, but she spoke in a straightforward manner, as if she was talking to people in an ordinary way, and what she said was the most logical and rooted in people's hearts. There was no need to exaggerate, let alone persuade others.

Zhao Mingzhi has always articulated his words clearly, and his words are crisp and clear, and his voice can be heard in his ears, so that people can understand every sentence he says.

When the final sound of the word "changing" was finished, some of the people on the side began to start, but it was sparse, and then they formed into groups, and countless people applauded.

In such a situation, Duan Da suddenly became speechless and had no ability to refute.

He paused first, looked back, but didn't know what he saw, and when he turned his head back again, he changed his tone and said: "The matter has reached this point, and I also know that it is useless to say anything, but this time I am not the one who is the mastermind, and another There are envoys and associates..."

"This matter is extremely secret, and only I know it. If I keep my mouth shut, no matter how hard the yamen try, they will not be able to find out his identity..."

He raised his head so that people couldn't tell whether the expression on his face was smug or mocking: "If Your Highness is willing to spare my life, I will only punish you and not kill me. I will confess, and I will send the master..."

The distance between the two was not far away, Zhao Mingzhi was standing opposite, seeing his arrogant attitude, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, but he took a few steps forward, and when he passed by a guard, he reached out and pulled out his long sword from his waist with a "swish", He didn't stop under his feet, and the hand went up with the arm, and it hit the ground. Duan Da didn't know if he was being aggressive, or if he really thought he was his head, and he swung it straight down.

The sword was not a magic weapon, but it was an ordinary military weapon, and the blade was not very sharp, so Zhao Mingzhi used all his strength when raising the sword and dropping it.

But Duan Da was completely unprepared, and before he finished speaking, he waited until he saw figures and sword shadows swaying in front of him, and then he blinked. His left ear felt cold first, and before he lowered his head, he saw half of something bloody slipping from his shoulder all the way, thumping twice. Standing half tremblingly on the ground a foot away in front of him, he fell down.

Illuminated by the afterglow of the torch, there was a soldier falling down there and shrouded in black shadows. Duan Da squinted his eyes and saw it clearly. He just recognized that the thing on the ground seemed to be half of an ear, just like he had cut off someone else's ear before, and then left The severe ear pain finally penetrated the periosteum and penetrated into the brain, making him jump up like a live fish on a chopping board, screaming "ah".

Zhao Mingzhi held a sword in his hand, the sword was still stained with blood, but he didn't back down, he just stood still and asked in a cold voice: "Now is the time for you to bargain?"

He said again: "This is the end of the matter. If you care about your relatives and friends at home and don't want to hurt the innocent, you can honestly confess the people behind you. If you have such an attitude, the Kyoto government will not do it. I will behead your head and the city right now." Under the sect, I will go to Caizhou to accept the crime in the future."

What kind of crime can a princess be punished for killing a cowardly guard with her own hands?

It doesn't even count as beating first and playing later, escaping before the battle is already an unforgivable crime, another general doesn't even need to say "kill", he will be dragged down and beheaded immediately.

Duan Da just wanted to jump up, but was held down by the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time, he couldn't move, he wanted to reach out his hands to cover his ears, but he couldn't, his eyes went dark from the pain, and he managed to catch his breath, when he heard Zhao Mingzhi "kiss" "Chop" word, the pain is on top of the pain, the eyes are like gold stars, and the panic in the heart is even more difficult to suppress.

The previous cut was on the ear, and at this moment he was in extreme pain, the tip of the sword in front of him was still trembling slightly, although it could be seen that the sword bearer did not have much martial arts skills, but Duan Da had no doubt that as long as he kept his mouth shut In a word, the place where the next sword will cut must be his own neck.

Zhao Mingzhi cut off Duan Da's ear with his sword. He screamed and watched the commotion of the people, and stopped for a while. No one spoke, but held their breath and focused on the development of the scene.

As for Duan Da, he was prostrate on the ground, his facial features connected to his heart, and the pain was beyond description.

If it was really a hero, how could he run away, let alone lure the common people?

Being forced by Zhao Mingzhi's words, his left ear was constantly reminding him, and even reminding him of the story of the princess that he had learned before. Even though his head and face were hot, he couldn't open his mouth. In order to live longer, he responded quickly, shouting : "I recruit, I recruit!!"

Just as they were called here, there was another commotion behind them. A group of people came in a hurry from the rear. It was the left and right military inspectors in the Yazhong of the Kyoto Prefecture leading many patrol shops.

When the people approached, Zhao Mingzhi waved his hand and stopped everyone from saluting. He first pointed to Duan Da, and after a few words, he pointed to many carriages and said, "Let's ask someone to unload the contents one by one, and transcribe it on the spot. Waiting for trial, Duan Da, ask about the origin, and in the future, I will post a notice to find its owner, ask about its ins and outs, if the property has no owner, it will be confiscated by the court..."

Before the words were finished, a person had already climbed out of the crowd and shouted: "Your Highness! Officer! There is a box inside that belongs to my family!"

Someone started, then three or five stepped forward cautiously, or even seven or eight people, more than ten people, seeing more and more people, they were no longer as afraid as before, so they talked in a hurry, and everyone expressed their grievances .

"I didn't want to believe it, but Duan Da said that the city will be closed today, and no entry or exit is allowed. My family is not afraid, but I am afraid of my eight-year-old son, so I gathered all my neighbors and eight friends, and the furniture should be cleaned up. Bought a place to send out a little gold and silver..."

"Those bastards in the past have only settled down not long ago, and they have come out again these few days, only saying that if they pay the money, at least they have a chance to send it again. Can't stay..."

"My family's unworthy son was instigated by others..."
