"Bajibaji..."

On the huge open field of Wuliang Town, tens of thousands of rescued soldiers in the front hall gathered. Now they are gathering together in groups of three or five, eating the food in the bowl voraciously. The thieves in Wuliang Town are all squatting at the corner of the wall, and another part of the soldiers in the front hall guarding with weapons...

In the general's mansion, Wei Ji shook his sore arms and sat on a chair beside him. He kept waving his palm fan to drive away the heat. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said to Liu Ce who was sitting in front of the main case: "Mr. Military Governor, this errand is really exhausting. You must do what you promised me..."

Liu Ce took out a mint incense ball from his arms, stuffed it into his mouth and said to Wei Ji: "Your Highness, I will do what I promised you. Just relax. But now, the tens of thousands of palace officials in front of you, do you have any arrangements for them?"

Wei Ji waved his hand and said, "Mr. Military Supervisor is really good at joking. Everything is up to you. Why should I ask me?"

Liu Ce said: "Prince, the Palace Front Office is also a direct subordinate of the royal army. Isn't this right to let this military supervisor deal with it?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Ji stretched out his palm and signaled Liu Ce to give him a mint incense ball. Liu Ce directly threw the bag containing the incense ball into his hand.

After Wei Ji stuffed a incense ball, he took a deep breath before continuing, "Mr. Military Governor, you also said that this is a direct army of the royal family and should be under the jurisdiction of the current emperor. If I intervene, what do you think the person sitting in the Taiji Temple of Shendu will have if he knows it?"

After hearing this, Liu Ce thought about it and immediately understood what Wei said was to be worried and afraid of being suspicious. The prince was involved in the army in front of the palace without the emperor's permission. Wei Ji dared not bear this crime. If he couldn't protect it, he would lose his head...

At this moment, a soldier outside the door reported: "Report to the military supervisor, the military supervisor, we found the chief general of the hall in the dungeon, and the general Shi Zongjie, who was confirmed by the soldiers in the hall in front of the hall, and they were not wrong..."

"Shi Zongjie?"

When Liu Ce and Wei Ji heard this, they muttered together, but they didn't expect that this guy would be locked up in Wuliang Town?

After thinking about it, Liu Ce said again: "Take him here immediately..."

The soldiers of the Guards replied: "Report to the Governor, General Shi is in a coma now. According to his subordinates, it may be caused by heatstroke and dehydration..."

Liu Ce said: "First take the person to the General's Mansion to choose a comfortable place to settle in, and then order the military doctor to treat him, so don't let someone die like this..."

After the guards left, Wei Ji immediately narrowed his eyes and twisted his fat body and leaned forward and whispered to Liu Ce: "Mr. Military Governor, are you planning to let Shi Zongjie continue to lead the Palace Front Office?"

Liu Ce asked back, "Where is the prince saying this?"

Wei Ji laughed twice and continued, "Is this a matter of saying? Shi Zongjie is the chief general of the front hall enthroned by the imperial court. It's okay if he dies. Now that he is still alive, he will naturally continue to command it. As for how to control it... Even I understand, I believe that the military governor must have made arrangements in his heart..."

"Save the person first..."

Unexpectedly, when Liu Ce heard this, he leaned back and sighed unexpectedly, which made Wei Ji feel surprised.

After a brief calm inside the house, Wei Ji asked Liu Ce again: "Mr. Military Governor, Wuliang Town has been taken down now. I wonder if it should be time to attack Gao Yang next?"

"Gao Yang?" Liu Ce was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and shook his head, "No, the next target of this military governor is not Gao Yang..."

"Don't you hit Gao Yang?"

Wei Ji's face was full of confusion. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Liu Ce spitting out the fragrant pills he had in his mouth, and took a big sip of the tea bowl before the case, and then he held back what he was about to blurt out.

...

"Where am I..."

In the inner room of the General's Mansion, Shi Zongjie, who was in a coma, woke up slowly and found that he was no longer in the dirty and smelly dungeon.

Shi Zongjie tried hard to get up, but as soon as he straightened half of his body with force, he suddenly felt a dizzy moment in front of him and fell weakly on the bed. Now he was too weak, and he only felt his head was so heavy...

"woke up?"

At this time, a calm voice came from Shi Zongjie's ear, which made him stunned. He tried hard to turn his head and looked at it. In a blur, he saw a figure sitting upright beside the table not far away...

"Who are you?" Shi Zongjie asked weakly to the figure, "Why am I here?"

The figure stood up and slowly approached the couch step by step. The crisp sound of the leather boots made Shi Zongjie feel extremely nervous.

After the figure approached, Shi Zongjie saw his true face clearly. Looking at the arrogant Junrong and his firm and steady face, he was a little at a loss. Before he could speak, the figure threw a booklet in his hand to his bed and said expressionlessly.

"My name is Liu Ce. Now that I have taken over the entire Wuliang Town Fortress, you are safe..."

"Liu Ce..."

Shi Zongjie murmured to himself, his dizzy mind searching for any information about the familiar name, but when he touched the cowhide booklet beside him, he put it on his chest as if he had found a treasure.

Liu Ce looked at Shi Zongjie on the couch and saw that Shi Zongjie was covered in stubbornness at the moment, and there were scars after being tortured on both sides of his cheeks. Even after a simple washing, he was still extremely haggard, especially from his empty and unconscious eyes, he could see deep fear.

"Shi Zongjie, I want to ask you, this is how you fight?" After a long time, Liu Ce pointed to the booklet he posted on his chest and asked, "I didn't even remember the experience of marching in the booklet, but it was a full of love for children. Are you bringing the 80,000 palace front office to rescue Heyuan, or for the so-called spiritual liberation? If it were the latter, you shouldn't be in charge of leading the army!"

"Cough cough cough... you're right..." Shi Zongjie coughed several times after hearing this, "I'm not that piece of material, but I still want to try it and prove it..."

"What did you prove?" Liu Ce interrupted Shi Zongjie mercilessly and asked coldly, "In order to prove your feelings for Xue Ruyuan, then let 80,000 people follow you to die? The great love is so great!"

Afterwards, Liu Ce's tone was already full of sarcasm, which made Shi Zongjie sweat.

Liu Ce continued, "Since you like her so much, why didn't you stop her from falling into a sea of ​​suffering? When the tragedy happened, you started to vent your incompetence in the diary? Then you brought 80,000 people to prove how great your love for Xue Ruyuan is? Haha, please forgive me for saying frankly that you are simply no different from a beast."

When Liu Ce said something, Shi Zongjie was extremely ashamed. He held the booklet on his chest tightly with one hand and said nothing.

Seeing that Shi Zongjie didn't say anything, Liu Ce snorted and then asked: "I Supervisor ask you, how many people have you brought to attack Wuliang Town?"

Shi Zongjie replied in shame: "I brought forty thousand people and was ambushed by thieves, and I would be defeated and captured..."

Liu Ce frowned and said, "What about the other 40,000 people? Where are they?"

Shi Zongjie said: "Before I led my army to attack Wuliang Town, I was still resting in the camp in the suburbs of Caizhou City. But now it has been a long time, and I don't know if there are any changes..."

After hearing Shi Zongjie's words, Liu Ce immediately realized that it was not Shi Zongjie who trapped the insurgent Hall, but the complex Heyuan family. The insurgent Hall was completely a victim of political struggle.

What kind of virtue is Zhao Yuanji? Liu Ce has long known about it during his time in Heyuan's army. However, he didn't expect that at this time, he still wanted to eradicate dissidents and consolidate his power in Heyuan. These borers are really hopeless...

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Ce said to Shi Zongjie again: "What are you going to do now?"

Shi Zongjie smiled bitterly and replied, "What else can I do? I have fallen into such a field. What else do you think I can do?"

Liu Ce frowned coldly: "There are still 20,000 soldiers in the fortress, so you don't care? As the commander of the first army, can you say such despicable words?"

Shi Zongjie said: "As the commander of the first army, I have made tens of thousands of soldiers under my command become prisoners and suffered torture from thieves. Do you think I still have the face to see them, let alone care about them?"

"Hmph..." Liu Ce snorted lightly, "That is to say, you leave those more than 20,000 people alone and let them die, right?"

Shi Zongjie gritted his teeth, hesitated for a while, and pressed his hands against the document book on his chest tighter. Finally, he said helplessly: "I can't even take care of myself, what's the face to care about them?"

"Get up~" Liu Ce pulled Shi Zongjie up after hearing this, and the cold light shot out of his tiger's eyes directly captured his heart, "Shi Zongjie, I really didn't expect you to be so selfish. I thought you were just a military idiot, but I didn't expect you to understand the most basic principles of being a human being!

There are more than 20,000 soldiers in front of the temple outside the house. Have you ever known what they want now? They all want to go home, do you understand it if you go home! If you bring them from God, you should take them all back to reunite with your family.

Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. There is no general who always wins, and there is no permanent army. Even this military governor has experienced failure, but at least this military governor has never thought of abandoning his army.

The more this happens, the more it will test the quality that a general should have. As a descendant of the Jiangnan historian family and a relative of the dignified Jiang family, you become so depressed once you fail!

A person like you is still qualified to say why you can sacrifice your life for love? You are lying to yourself and living in the lies you weaved all day long. This military governor can conclude that even if Miss Xue’s experience reappears in front of you, you will still abandon her without hesitation!”

As he said that, Liu Ce snatched the booklet from Shi Zongjie: "Look at what I remember here, it's ridiculous. Do you think that one day she will change your opinion about you by putting this booklet in front of Miss Xue?

Save it! If I were you, I would feel that the words written here were so disgusting. Why do I keep this for you?"

After saying that, Liu Ce was about to destroy the booklet in his hand. Shi Zongjie hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded hard, "Give it back to me, this is my life. I can't live without this thing. Please give it back to me..."

"snort……"

Liu Ce snorted coldly, threw the document book back to his hands, and looked at him indifferently.

After Shi Zongjie took back his diary, he put him in his arms and curled up to the side of the couch, as if he was afraid he would be taken away again.

"If it weren't for Mrs. Shi, Governor Jiang, and your cousin Ruoyan tried his best to protect you repeatedly, I would have killed you with one knife. You should continue to live like this. Don't tell anyone outside in the future that I am your brother-in-law, and I can't afford to lose this person!"

Liu Ce left a sentence, turned around and walked out the door, leaving Shi Zongjie alone huddled beside the bed.

"Brother-in-law? Cousin? Ruoyan, Liu Ce? Liu Ce!"

Thinking back to Liu Ce's words, Shi Zongjie suddenly realized that the young general was the frontier commander of the border army who rushed from the Far East to assist Heyuan, the famous former army general!
