C48 Jadopin

Yun Shu had almost been carried away by her collar. Before she could even say "Why don't you consider changing hands with her" to the other party, she felt herself being sent flying into the air — she was immediately thrown out of the wall by the black-clothed person.

At that time, she regretted not fleeing in the dungeon, so she had to be kind and help.

She rubbed her buttocks unhappily. He seriously suspected that this rude fellow might not know how to write the word 'grateful'.

At the same time the men in black landed, two familiar figures emerged from the wall not far from them. At the same time, the sound of messy footsteps came from the front gate of the Jia Residence. At this time, a horse came running over.

The black clothed man gave her almost no chance to escape, directly lifting her up and throwing her onto the horse's back, his body also flipped up along with her.

The horse only stopped after running for a long time. Yun Shu felt that her head was extremely dizzy, even when she was brought into the cave by the side by the black clothed person, she still felt that the surrounding black mountain walls were in that kind of state of swaying back and forth. She could not help but lightly poke the black clothed person on the shoulder.

The black-clothed man lit the torch and turned to look at her. "You …"

"What?" "Ai, I can't hold on any longer. It makes me want to puke. Lend me your shoulder, big brother." It was worse than seasickness.

If this person could make her properly sit on the horse's back instead of letting her completely lie on it and touch the saddle with her waist, she wouldn't have fainted like this. It was too embarrassing, but luckily there was a handkerchief on her face, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing …

The black clothed man looked at the person on his shoulder and switched the sword in his hand to the one holding the torch. He then wrapped his arm around her shoulder and carried her into the depths of the cave.

There was only a square stone platform at the end of the cave and Jia Daoping was placed on it. Beside the stone platform stood a man in black clothing who had already taken off his mask. This should be the man who broke into the dungeon and took Jia Daoping away.

This youth that looked to be around seventeen or eighteen was rather good-looking, and looked quite pleasing to the eye. This kind of appearance could easily make people feel better, Yun Shu even felt that her sight was not as dazzling as before, thus she was too lazy to care about the matter of being thrown out of the wall by this person's accomplices.

The handsome youth glanced at Yun Shu who was leaning on the black clothed man's shoulder. He wanted to say something, but hesitated and turned around. He squatted down and called out to Jia Daoping a few times.

Yun Shu felt that it would be inconvenient for her to stay here: "That … If City Lord Jia can tell me where General Pei is, I can leave immediately … "

"If we go out, it will be very easy for the pursuers to find us. Our location will also be exposed because of you." The man in black frowned at her.

Only then did Yun Shu feel that the voice was somewhat familiar, as if it was very similar to the one they were looking for. Before she could think of a way to prove it, the other party had already removed the black veil covering her face. The first thing that entered her eyes was the familiar face. How could you... Were you injured in the dungeon? " She had never thought that she would run into Pei Hongqing after entering the dungeon. Her luck really wasn't good …

Pei Hongqing shook his head and said, "You don't feel depressed either." When she finished speaking, before Yun Shu could react, she reached out and pulled down the handkerchief on her face.

"General, you don't seem surprised at all, could it be that you already knew it was me?"

Pei Hongqing raised his eyebrows and did not answer her. Instead, he stuck the torch in his hand into a crack on the stone table and walked to the side of the stage, "Mayor Jia, I'm here."

Jia Daoping slowly opened his eyes and tried to get up, but Pei Hongqing held him back, "It's good that you're lying down. The City Lord has suffered a lot. If Young Master Fang did not come, I wouldn't dare to act rashly. I hope City Lord Jia understands."

"As long as General Pei is safe. This old man has already … He had lived long enough, but now he was a … Cough cough! A good chance to see old friends. This old man will not waste any more time on useless words. At the time when Big Beam invaded the Northern Dam, Ren Zong agreed to let Hu Nu, who surrendered voluntarily, become a special existence of Big Beam. Although the taxes are the same as other cities, when war broke out, the angry citizens can have the right to self-determination … "Cough, cough …"

"In other words, the angry citizens … You can choose which country this city is attached to. That's why I secretly gathered the opinions of everyone in the city. What happened afterwards …. Cough cough! Then, this old man had all the citizens who were willing to let the Yan Army enter the city sign the letter of self-determination. "

"This old man is worried about the current Great Liang Imperial Family …" Knowing that a tiger's anger can forcibly deprive the people of their right to self-determination, the letter of self-determination has always been in the custody of Mr. Fang... Mister... Cough cough! " This time, Jia Daoping coughed up some blood, but he didn't forget to use his eyes to signal the young man to take out the letter of self-determination.

The youth immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the corner of Jia Daoping's mouth with it. Then, he took out the envelope and handed it over to Pei Hongqing.

Pei Hongqing took out a piece of paper with several folds inside and took a look. At the top, there were words about a person who had surrendered to the Yan Army written on it. On the left was an autograph, while on the right was a fingerprint.

"Some people do not... If you can't read, just press your fingerprint … However, before signing the letter of self-determination, this old man will tell you the use of this letter of self-determination … No one had been coerced. There were two hundred and sixty-seven households in the city, and eight hundred and thirty-nine people. More than half of the people choose... Surrender to the Yan Army, hope that the General will treat the angry civilians well, they just hope... Cough! Cough cough … I hope to be able to live in an environment where my life is absolutely safe. "

Pei Hongqing nodded his head, "Mayor, please be at ease. As long as the tiger is enraged, this general will not let the angered commoners suffer worse than before."

Jia Daoping's mouth curved into a smile, "There is one more thing that the general needs to retrieve himself. "Once you get it, you won't be afraid of the Liang Imperial Family disagreeing with you …"

Pei Hongqing asked, "What is it?"

"Twenty years ago, Hu Nu surrendered to Liang... It was a handwritten letter from Ren Zong. On it was written by Ren Zong … A promise to the indignant people of self-determination was also stamped with the jade seal of the Great Liang Nation... Cough cough! I gave it to... Keep Old Friend's Descendants... Go... Yi... Pavilion Search... "Jade …"

"Yifang Pavilion?" Jia Daoping lightly nodded his head, and then in the next moment, coughed out more blood.

Yun Shu immediately asked again, "Who are you looking for?"

"Such as … "Jade …" As Jia Daoping spat out the last word, he heard a faint sound from a distance. Soon after, black blood began to flow out of the corner of his mouth, and the last bit of luster in his eyes also disappeared.

It was probably because he had already arranged everything that was on his mind for his entire life. When he left, there was a smile that was hard for people to ignore on the corner of his mouth, as if he had reconciled with all the injustices in this world.

In accordance with Jia Daoping's last wish, they found the tallest hill in the vicinity that had a panoramic view of the entire Tiger Fury City, and gradually buried the corpse within the soil.

Pei Hongqing's face was full of guilt and self-blame, "I should have gone out earlier to stop them from torturing …"

Young Master Fang shook his head, disagreeing with his words, "General, you don't have to blame yourself. If I hadn't prepared my horse outside the Jia manor and General Xiao had already made a move against the people of Xiao Heng, then we might not be able to escape unscathed under their watchful eyes. Actually, the City Lord had long predicted that the two brothers from the Great Liang Empire would not let him go, so he found a way to ease the pain himself. But, in the next four days, he will definitely consume a poison, so as to avoid his old bones from receiving more punishment. "

Young Master Fang sighed, "His only regret is that he didn't personally witness the tiger's rage and its people surviving the war. If he hadn't been captured by Xiao Heng, then the tiger's anger would have already become the territory of Yan Country. Today, he would have left with even more peace of mind."

"Speaking of which, even if the tiger's rage had successfully become a Subordinate Territory of the Yan Nation without any trouble, it would still cause the Dazhou Imperial Family to want to kill the Mayor. After all, those two aren't like their father."

Speaking to here, the last word on the wooden tablet was carved on the ground by the little mister, and then he smiled, "In the year I have known the mayor, I have never seen him afraid of anything, and it was because he dared to say what he wanted to say, that I decided to enter the Jia manor and become his hanger-on, and also because I saw how the mayor dared to offend the Great Liang clan, I agreed to help him send this book to the Yan Army camp. "To think that even the City Lord would have times when he is afraid of pain. In the end, he is still a man made of flesh and blood."

Yun Shu looked somewhat sorrowfully at the hill that was already piled high in front of her.

A wooden tablet inscribed "Peerless Man, Eternal Flowing Fang" was placed in front of the new grave. Young Master Fang pressed the wooden tablet into the ground, then looked at the two of them and said: "City Lord's life is more substantial than any other person I have met. His reputation could not be eaten, but if he surrendered to Dazhuang, the angry citizens would not die or be given the freedom to self-determination. Therefore, he had made the decision to surrender twenty years ago. Since he is the one who has made the decision, naturally, he alone will be responsible for the infamy. From then on, when everyone became angry, they would all think, 'Oh, there's a foggy city lord who fears death, and he doesn't even dare to enter the battlefield.

He straightened his body and lightly patted the sawdust on his clothes, "Perhaps the mayor once cared about this too, but compared to those fresh lives, it doesn't matter. His greatest sorrow in life is that he saw too much into everything, so he didn't marry and have children like the majority of people in the world. He knows that any decision he makes can cause pain to his family."

With that, he turned to Pei Hongqing and said, "I hope the General will not disappoint the Mayor's last bit of kindness towards the angry people of the city. In addition, the mayor has also asked you two for one last thing — for the time being, don't tell Lady Ruyu about the mayor's death. If she does, she will definitely think of a way to make the Beamon Imperial Family, which has indirectly caused the mayor's death, pay with her life.

When he finished speaking, his expression gradually turned serious, and after seeing the two of them nodding their heads in agreement, he lowered his head and patted the dust behind his clothes, waiting for his clean and tidy clothes to return. Then, he smiled and bowed to the two of them, "I've done all the things that the Jia family's hanger-on has to do, and it's time to leave.
