Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 447: Choice (Part )

"What? You want us to select some of our own people to die?!"

While these Japanese masters were holding a secret meeting in the city, Wang Yi also made a choice and gave a plan to the refugee representatives hiding in his temporary space.

It's just that this plan is unacceptable to them.

"I know you can't accept it. After all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die. But you have seen what happened today. The Japanese are not fools. They guessed that we were hiding here. So what if they can't find us? They come every now and then, take away food and water, and capture some people. After a long time, we are still good at it. If it doesn't work, we can still fight. But what about you?

They will die of thirst, hunger, illness, or freezing. When someone can no longer hold on, he will become a traitor and sell out everyone else. Then we will all be finished. While the Japanese are still playing cat and mouse and boiling frogs, we still have capable soldiers here. Let's fight hard. Before we die, we must bite off a piece of their flesh to make them feel the pain and open a way for others to survive."

"Boss Wang, we all understand this. We are not ignorant of the big picture. We also know that good fortune is not a disaster, and disaster is inevitable. But you, how are you going to tell everyone when we go back? Let everyone decide who will stay as bait and who will escape the city alive? The men will stay, and the women, children and the elderly will go? In this chaotic situation, where can they go?

And even if we make a decision, what about you, Boss Wang? What are your plans?"

"Me? I'll naturally go with the people who stay behind. I have a lot of accounts to settle with the Japanese. If I don't kill a few of their high-ranking officials and drag a few more Japanese beasts to hell, I won't be able to die peacefully. Everyone, I have said everything. While there is still time, let's have a good discussion here. If we can't come to a conclusion in the end, I can only make the decision with my people. At that time, I can't guarantee how many people you can take away."

After that, Wang Yi said nothing more and asked the representatives brought by Lao Guo to discuss the matter at Mr. Rabe’s residence in the safe zone, while he waited outside.

"Have one?"

"Hey, are there any in stock at this time?"

"There are only a few of them left. I originally thought that if I couldn't leave, I would share them with my brothers to satisfy my addiction. But in this situation, I'm afraid you need it more than I do. Do you really want to keep it?"

"You are more capable than me in leading troops to fight. Without the protection of these soldiers you have gathered, they can't escape far. And didn't I just say that I have a lot of accounts to settle with the Japanese? Fucheng, God of War, now that I know, I can't let them get what they want and do what they want."

"But I've also heard from those people in the underworld that if the Japanese really take over Fucheng, they will have the best time, the best location, and the best people on their side, so you have no chance of winning."

"Whether we have a chance of winning or not is determined by fighting, not talking. Compared to this, I am more worried that they will delay making this decision. If they delay any further, there will be no chance of survival."

"Isn't it good to be alive?"

"Of course it's good to be alive, but in this world, if we want more people to live and live like human beings, someone has to die. I have made up my mind, you don't have to say anything more. But as for them, I have to think about what to say to them."

Wang Yi and Lao Guo were smoking outside Mr. Rabe's residence, looking at the terrified refugees in the safety zone and the righteous people who were disguised as refugees and keeping an eye on them among the refugees. They were speechless for a moment.

While Wang Yi was making the choice, in an empty corner, Master Jin Guang looked at Wang Yi, then looked at the refugees in the safe zone, and sat down in an empty space. The unknown lay Buddhist Wu Man who was accompanying him also helped to protect him.

Then, Master Jin Guang closed his eyes and fell asleep.
-
"what?"

When Master Jin Guang closed his eyes and fell asleep, he was in the hilly woodlands north of the river outside the city.

A group of people led by Wu Gensheng were also sitting in groups of three or five in this makeshift camp, chatting and passing the time.

As for where their food, clothing and other necessities came from, they were naturally provided by the troops who were preparing to establish a base behind enemy lines in the hilly woods north of the Yangtze River.

Compared with the original time and space, because of Wang Yi's advance notice and help, this place was able to take root in Jiangbei earlier. Food, clothing and other expenses were also provided because of Wang Yi's previous preparations in the city. Without expanding the staff to maintain the current establishment and the expenses of the people, it is not a problem to last for half a year.

The reason why Wu Gensheng was able to get these things from the army was because he rescued Zhang Zhiwei, Captain Jiang and the remnants of the army, and then handed them over to the troops who came to investigate the situation. In exchange, he got these things.

The Quanxing people haven't left yet, they are just waiting for Master Jin Guang and the others in the city to come out. Even if they can't come out, they are still fellow disciples and famous figures in Quanxing, so they can go and collect their bodies.

But no one knows what he really thinks in his heart.

Just when everyone was laughing it off and getting by, the famous Quanxing lady Liu Pozi who was dozing off let out a startled exclamation and fell into a deep sleep. No one else noticed, except Wu Gensheng and another Quanxing celebrity, Mama Wu, who looked in Liu Pozi's direction.

"Old Duan, you are really in trouble for calling me at this time. Where is Old Wu? Why didn't he come in with us? Yes, he went to pay the blood debt of the Wang family. I guess he is gone now."

In the blank dream, Mrs. Liu looked at Master Jin Guang, whom she had not seen for a long time, and teased him a few words.

"Not yet. He has been getting along well with the old ghost from the Wang family during this period. He is now guarding me. But if you calculate the time, it will be soon."

"Then why did you call me here?"

"The master is by your side."

"Yes, Mrs. Wu, everyone else is here, waiting to give it to you. Old Wu and the guys inside are collecting the bodies."

"I understand. Please help me call the headmaster over. I need his help."

When Mrs. Liu heard that Master Jin Guang asked Wu Gensheng for help, she was stunned at first and did not agree directly. She just looked at her old friend.

According to Quan Xing's rules, when a disciple asks the master for help, the master must help no matter what the matter is.

But at this critical juncture, Master Jin Guang asked Wu Gensheng for help, and even Mrs. Liu could guess what he was asking for.

"Old Duan, do you really want to do this?"

"Let me be a heretic for once."

"I understand. I'll call the headmaster in right away."

Outside the dream, Wu Gensheng, who was drinking, seemed to have sensed something. "Jinfeng, Mother Wu, let everyone take a break and get ready. We may have to listen to the Master's speech later. I'll go and listen to what he has to say first."

After saying this, Wu Gensheng put down his wine bowl and entered the dreamland in response to Liu Po's call.

"Master, I beg you to help me!"

"Master, please tell me what you want me to do for you."

As soon as Wu Gensheng entered the dream, before he could find a comfortable position to sit down, Master Jin Guang went straight to the point.

Hearing that Wu Gensheng did not refuse outright, of course, as the head of Quanxing Sect, he could not refuse either. Master Jin Guang also told him everything that had happened in the city during this period, including the Fucheng plan.

Although Wu Gensheng had learned everything by himself by reading the Taoist Canon, he did not know much about the ancient secrets that were only recorded in these thousand-year-old sects. However, he did not doubt it, because he had seen a product like Fucheng in Qinling Mountains that created artificial Qi to increase the probability of the birth of extraordinary people.

"So Wang Yi in the city has already made plans to be the bait and ruin the Fucheng plan, right?"

"That's right. He wants to make a big scene inside. We who followed him according to the order of the Sect Leader don't think there is anything wrong with that. But Sect Leader, I want to ask you to mobilize the people outside and let them make some noise outside the city to buy some chance for those who escaped."

"Master, you are forcing others to do what they want. You should know that the head of Quanxing Sect cannot order the disciples of Quanxing Sect to do anything unless they agree to it. But since you have asked me for help, I will let the people outside come in and listen. Let them make their own decisions. I will not interfere. Mother-in-law, it is your turn to take action."

Liu Pozi, who was listening on the side, was also prepared. As soon as Wu Gensheng opened his mouth, she began to pull the Quanxing disciples outside into the dream one by one. Since Wu Gensheng had already greeted them before entering the dream, these Quanxing disciples came in and were a little surprised when they saw Master Jin Guang.

"Everyone, the master asked me to do something, but this matter concerns the life and property of each of you. I can't make the decision, so you guys should make the decision yourself."

Seeing all the disciples outside coming in, Wu Gensheng briefly repeated what Master Jin Guang had asked him for, but he did not get any response from these Quan Xing disciples who were eager to watch the fun.

It's no problem to ask them to lend a hand, but they won't risk their lives to clear the way for those irrelevant people in the city.

In other words, they don’t know whether they should do it or not.

Wu Gensheng knew this would be the outcome, and Master Jin Guang knew it too, he just wanted to give it a try.

"Master, you asked me to do something, and I did it, but they didn't help you, so this is not my problem."

"I know, Granny Liu, please send me back."

Master Jin Guang was calm, not feeling lost or sad. He replied to Wu Gensheng calmly, bowed to him, and his figure slowly disappeared under the control of Mrs. Liu.

At this moment, Wu Gensheng suddenly spoke again.

"Master, can I ask you a question?"

"Master, please speak."

"Why do we have to do this? We are all human beings, there shouldn't be any bottom line."

"The leader is right. We are Quanxing. We should not have a bottom line. Doing evil and atrocities is what we Quanxing disciples should be like. But this is different. We Quanxing are Chinese after all. No matter how evil we have done, it is our people who should take us in. It is not the turn of these Japanese slaves from the four island countries to burn, kill and plunder on our land of China.

Oh, these words are a bit empty. To put it bluntly, I, Master Jin Guang, have been a bad guy for most of my life. At the last minute, I want to try the taste of being a good person to see if I am qualified to be a good person. Now it seems that it is difficult to be a good person, but this taste is really good..."

Wu Gensheng watched Master Jin Guang disappear in his dream, while the Quan Xing disciple who was pulled in by Mrs. Liu also looked in the direction where Master Jin Guang disappeared in silence.

"Okay, everyone, disperse now. Those who want to leave, leave now. Those who want to stay and collect the bodies for the Master and his men, stay here with me for a few more days. It will only take a few days."

All the disciples exited from Mrs. Liu's dream, but Wu Gensheng was still drinking and eating meat as if nothing had happened, looking very happy.

When Wu Gensheng woke up after a night's sleep, he looked at the temporary camp and saw that no one had left, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
-
In the safe zone in the city, Wang Yi may have already known what Master Jin Guang had done, but he no longer cared.

While Wu Gensheng in Jiangbei outside the city was leading the Quanxing disciples to wait, the representative invited by Wang Yi to discuss the matter had already made a decision.

They accepted Wang Yi's proposal and asked Lao Guo for a gun. Obviously, they also chose to stay as bait to attract the attention of the Japanese troops in the city, but how to convince the refugees hiding in the temporary space to make a choice depends on themselves.

In the cold night, the refugees hiding in the safe zone were all in danger and felt terrified.

Because just when Wang Yi asked these representatives to discuss the matter, the Japanese troops outside the safety zone came into the safety zone and arrested people under the pretext of searching for defeated soldiers. Another group of refugees were taken away by these Japanese troops under the name of prisoners, most of whom were women.

Mr. Rabe, who wanted to rescue the women, had a gun pointed at his head by a Japanese officer and was unable to save the women at all.

People of this era can distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad. People in the safe zone will not blame Mr. Rabe for not being able to rescue these people, but at the same time, they are also afraid that they may be the ones taken away by the Japanese troops who will enter the safe zone tomorrow.

Wang Yi, the old patriarch of the Wang family, Lu Ren, the eldest son of the Lu family, Master Jin Guang, and Mr. Mo Ming were all on high places, looking at the various living beings in the safe zone.

"Honestly, Wang Yi, I still don't understand why you want to do this. You've done enough. Who would blame you if you just walked away now? Fucheng? It's really crazy, but I don't believe that Japan, a country with only four islands, can occupy us. Fucheng will be destroyed even if it is built. Why rush it now?"

"Master Lu, have you ever thought about how much we will have to pay if we break through again in the future? In this process, how many nails will they plant here? Can you guarantee that you can pull out these nails in the future, or that future generations can pull them out?"

Lu Ren did not answer, but Wang Yi did not let him go. He continued.

"Let me tell you what these buried nails will do. They will change their appearance, hide their identities, blend into our midst, and infiltrate all walks of life. Then, they will subtly rewrite the memory of this war by future generations, making them forget the numerous blood debts committed by these invaders in our land of China. In the end, even the cause and outcome of this war will be rewritten."

"They dare?!"

"Why wouldn't they dare? Will this war be won? Of course, you will say yes, but how long will it take? Three years, five years, eight years, ten years, what happens after the victory? Will the world be at peace? You know my position and have joined the army. You should know that it is not as simple as just winning the war. No matter who wins in the end, there will be great order after great chaos. How long it will take, neither you nor I can say for sure.

No matter who will rule the world in the end, talented people are needed to govern the world. In order to govern the world, some things have to be compromised, but it does not mean forgetting, but just remembering to settle accounts later. If I don't save these people now, if one day, you and I are separated, who can guarantee that future generations will not let these buried nails rewrite history? I don't know about other places, but they, they won't.

Because as long as they survive, they will remember everything that happened here, remember the suffering they have endured, and remember the blood feud they and their descendants bear. So I must save them, if I can, I will save one, and if I can destroy Fucheng now, I will destroy Fucheng now.

To be honest, you shouldn't have brought these righteous people with you. It's not that I look down on you, but you have concerns, concerns about your family, concerns about the inheritance of your sect, so you are hesitant at this time, which is human nature and understandable. But you shouldn't end up at this time. Only when the entire righteous path understands why I do this, then you will come to save the world without any worries, but not now. "

"That's why you caused such a scene at the Luotian Grand Ceremony, inviting Quan Xing to enter and humiliating us, the righteous people."

"Yes, they have no worries. They are all free-spirited and evil people. I will give them a chance to trample on your righteous face and even dig up your roots by claiming to save the world. Some of them will definitely follow me. The more Quan Xings die here, the more people from your righteous path will end up like this, and the more they will understand the purpose of what I am doing now."

"You are really calculating, Wang Yi. You have involved yourself in the game. But you still underestimate us, the famous and righteous people. Quan Xing can say that we are hypocrites or that we are sanctimonious, but the reason why the righteous are the righteous is that even if there are dirty deeds among the righteous, the face of the righteous is there.

It would be fine if we didn't know, but now that we know, if we turn a blind eye, the entire righteous path will lose face. If we lose face, how long can we hold on? How much time do we have left?"

"Not much. The Master is right. Since they let me hear the plan for Fucheng, it means they have almost finished their preparations. Even I can feel that the heaven and earth energy in this city is affecting the space means I have arranged."

"How much longer?"

"Five days."

"Okay, let's keep the matter of luring the enemy. Count me in."

"Not going back?"

"The four famous families are of the same blood. The Gao family is fighting outside the Great Wall. An old patriarch of the Wang family is planning to die here. My Lu family must have a young master die. As for the Lu family, I am not worried about their family tradition."

"Oh, Master Lu is really magnanimous. In that case, let's go to the underworld together."

"Okay, I will definitely ask you for your methods then."

"Forget it, you can't beat me."

"Why are you so talkative?"
