Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

In the Ming army camp outside Datong City, soldiers patrolled back and forth with hurried steps and solemn expressions as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

The oppressive atmosphere was like an invisible and dense net, heavily enveloping everyone and making it difficult to breathe.

Wang Chongli stood in the tent, looking anxiously at the darkening sky from time to time.

His heart was beating like a frightened rabbit, and he was worried that the Jinyiwei would suddenly appear like a ghost at any time.

That feeling is just like that of a prisoner waiting for the final trial, filled with fear and torment.

Wang Chongli turned his head and looked at Li Ming anxiously, trying to make a final persuasion.

"Brother Li, you and I have been in this army for many years, what are we doing here?
Isn’t it to protect this great country and bless thousands of families?

Now the opportunity to turn the tide is right in front of us. Although the road ahead is full of thorns and dangers, as long as you and I work together with one heart, we may be able to create a new world.

If you are really worried about your family, I will immediately select a few loyal and reliable ones from my personal soldiers who are highly skilled in martial arts to protect your family.

Brother Li, what do you think? "

Wang Chongli's eyes were burning and his words were sincere, as if he wanted to convey his determination to Li Ming.

Li Ming slowly raised his head, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, like ripples on a calm lake.

"Sir Wang, I appreciate your kindness.

But this is related to the survival of the family, it is a serious matter, please allow me to think about it..."

"Brother Li, there's no time!"

Wang Chongli was extremely anxious and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

“The Imperial Guards may be on their way here now. Once they reach the city, we will have no chance of turning the tables.

If you trust me, then fight to the death with me!"

Li Ming gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, his heart torn between his conscience and his desires.

He knew very well that every word Wang Chongli said was reasonable, and it struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

But the worry about his family was like a towering mountain weighing heavily on his heart, almost suffocating Li Ming.

At this moment, Li Ming's eyes kept appearing the weathered and worried faces of the family elders, as well as the innocent and pure smiles of the young children in the family.

These images were like sharp blades, piercing his heart again and again.

If his decision puts his family in an irretrievable situation, Li Ming will be blamed for it and will never be able to forgive himself.

But how could he watch his years of hard work go to waste and watch countless innocent people suffer?

Li Ming recalled the passionate and resounding oath he made when he joined the army: to defend the country and protect the peace of the people.

Do I have to abandon everything and go against my original intention just for the safety of my family?

However, family is Li Ming's roots, the concern he cannot give up no matter what, and the softest corner of his heart.

As time passed, Li Ming became more and more conflicted and in great pain.

His forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, which slowly slid down his cheeks like beads that had broken off the string, soaking his collar.

Li Ming's hands were clenched into fists from time to time, and the knuckles turned white.

It was as if he wanted to release all the pain and entanglement in his heart through these clenched fists.

Sometimes he was too weak to let go and he rubbed the corners of his clothes repeatedly, as if this could ease the tangled pain in his heart.

Suddenly Li Ming thought again, if it was true as Wang Chongli said: the documents were taken away by the Jinyiwei, the family might also suffer a devastating disaster.

Although this transfer operation is fraught with dangers, like dancing on a tightrope, it is not without a chance of success.

If it succeeds, it can not only save the overall situation, but also bring a ray of hope to the Li family, allowing the family to get rid of the haze of many years. Finally, after a long and painful inner struggle, Li Ming gritted his teeth, as if he had used up all the strength in his body, and squeezed out a few words from his teeth.

"Okay! Lord Wang, I will believe you this time!
But if my family encounters any misfortune, even if I, Li Ming, become a ghost, I will not let go of those who harmed my family!"

Wang Chongli patted Li Ming's shoulder heavily and said firmly, "Brother Li, don't worry. I am here and will not let anything happen to your family.

Let's start preparing now and make sure to transfer the files before the Jinyiwei do!"

However, at this moment, there was a sudden loud commotion outside the tent, like a huge rock suddenly thrown into the calm lake, breaking the brief tranquility.

A guard soldier rushed into the tent in panic, knelt down and reported in a panic: "It's bad, Lord Wang, Lord Li!

Just now, a group of unidentified men in black suddenly attacked our brothers who were in charge of the outer perimeter security like ghosts.

Although the brothers fought hard and repelled the enemy, they suffered heavy casualties.

Judging from their skills and behavior, they don't look like the Jinyiwei, but more like a mysterious killer organization that is feared by the world."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned as pale as paper. A layer of frost seemed to condense in the air in an instant, making people shudder.

This sudden change, like a terrible nightmare, made the already extremely tense situation even more complicated.

It was as if there was a tightly interwoven net that bound everyone tightly inside.

The worry in Li Ming's heart exploded instantly like a lit powder barrel.

He suddenly looked at Wang Chongli, with a hint of questioning and panic in his eyes.

"Master Wang, what's going on?

Could it be that there are other forces secretly disrupting the situation?

In this case, can the file transfer still continue?"

Wang Chongli was also shocked, as if he was hit by a bolt from the blue.

But he quickly forced himself to calm down and tried to make his confused thoughts clear again.

Wang Chongli wondered in his heart: Is this mysterious force coming for the documents, or does it have some other ulterior motive?

Could it be that there is a disagreement within the organization and someone wants to secretly sabotage this operation?

But at this moment Wang Chongli had no time to think, he had to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the situation would be completely out of control.

He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Brother Li, now that things have come to this, we can no longer retreat.

Although the emergence of this mysterious force has disrupted our original plan, it may also disrupt the deployment of the Jinyiwei.

If we choose to retreat now, the files will most likely fall into the hands of one of them, and the consequences will be disastrous.

All our previous efforts will be in vain.

We must speed up our actions, change our transfer routes, and avoid the edge of this mysterious force.

At the same time, we must strengthen our vigilance and be prepared to face a powerful enemy.

I believe that as long as we all work together, like a tightly-knit iron fortress, we will be able to survive this disaster."

At this moment, Sun Yong, who had been silent, stood up.

He clasped his fists and said, "Lord Wang, Lord Li.

I am willing to lead a team to clear the way for the transfer team. Even if I risk my life, I will protect the documents!"

Li Xian also echoed, "Lord Wang is right. It is not wise to retreat at this moment."
