The Great Desolation: Intercepting the Vice-Cult Master

Chapter 601 Captive
what to do with captives
And because of this battle, all their worries were completely eliminated.

Wen Zhong stepped forward and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, what should be done with those captives?"

Wen Zhong is already a general in Xiqi, and half of the success of the war is due to him. After the war, he was also the one who put all the prisoners of war to their brains for disposal.

After Wen Zhongyi finished speaking, everyone also looked at each other, each with their own opinions.

Seeing this, the emperor can naturally see that, a thick and majestic voice resounded, resounding throughout the entire hall.

"What's your opinion, dear friends?"

He has always respected the opinions of the ministers, and seeing everyone's expressions, they must have something to say.

Sure enough, as soon as the emperor's voice fell, a minister took the lead and stood up, bowing and kneeling.

"Your Majesty, I believe that these thieves should be punished on the spot. The enemy country killed so many soldiers of our country. They are righteous men. Those lives are not comparable to so many of them now. They die to condolences to the gods. Those soldiers."

Mr. Jiang became more excited and angrier as he spoke, because in his opinion, even if so many soldiers from the enemy country were captured, they were no match for their dead soldiers.

After Mr. Jiang finished speaking, many ministers looked at each other and couldn't help but nodded. They agreed with what he said, but there were some differences and some hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I don't think so."

As soon as he finished speaking, another minister stood up to object.

"I think they should all be kept. Now our country is short of manpower. Don't so many enemy troops just fill in the vacancy? Train them into our country's army and serve our country!"

And this person is Master Yang.

After he finished speaking, the others also nodded in the minority.

It is not difficult to say that there is some truth in what they both said.

"Master Yang said that the harm outweighs the benefits. Although he mentioned the shortcomings of his own country's numbers, can Mr. Yang ensure that the enemy's war army can serve his country? Even if he can really serve his country, it is difficult to guarantee that they will only agree for a short time to survive. We can’t wait until the enemy country invades again and return to their army again. At that time, we will really be sandwiched, and we will be in trouble.”

After hearing what Master Yang said, Master Jiang turned to look at the other party and said slowly.

"About what Mr. Jiang said, the ministers have actually made some corresponding strategies. We can test their loyalty to their country."

Mr. Yang seemed to have already thought about Mr. Jiang's rhetorical question, and then he said it very obediently.

"Oh? How will Master Yang plan to test them?"

After hearing this, the emperor also became curious and wanted to hear the opponent's strategy.

"This... I haven't thought about it yet."

Master Yang scratched his head in embarrassment at this time, and said in shame.

"The minister actually has a good suggestion."

At this time, Wen Zhong interrupted to make a suggestion.

"General Wen, please tell me."

His Majesty looked at Wen Zhong and asked him to come quickly, and everyone turned their eyes to Wen Zhong's direction.

"I also agree with Mr. Yang's idea. Indeed, the enemy country is purely killing our soldiers. This is an undeniable fact, but condolences to those soldiers do not use their blood donation to pay homage. Then we and the enemy country What's different about that traitor?"

"Besides, I heard Mr. Jiang Chen say that if you want to run an empire well, you must first convince people with virtue, and you must advocate peace, so that the empire will last for a long time."

At this time, Jiang Chen, who was hundreds of meters away, heard this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched into a smile.

"I'm impatient, I still remember what I said."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

In fact, Jiang Chen said it to Ji Fa at that time, and Wen Zhong was beside him at that time, but it never occurred to him that the young man still remembered it.

"My suggestion is also that you can first ask the captives of the enemy country whether they have voluntarily joined our country, remove those who joined, and kill those who did not join."

"As for those who joined, we were not in a hurry to find out whether they were sincere at the beginning, and we will make precise plans after a period of time."

In fact, Wen Zhong had already thought up the test method, but now it is above the main hall after all, the so-called 'walls have ears', so the exact things will be explained to the emperor slowly in private.

Wen Zhong gave the emperor a look, and the emperor understood it instantly, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Wen Zhong gave everyone a meaningful look.

"go on."

The emperor looked serious and asked.

"As far as I know, the king of the enemy country is cruel and benevolent, and the people below have already complained, not to mention the soldiers. Almost all of them were forced to join the army, and the threat to their families was added, so they have their current status. It is precisely because of this situation that they are now in this prison.

Chapter 410 Inquiry

So as long as we try to persuade them, I think they will treat us sincerely.This just makes up for the lack of our number of people. "

Wen Zhong's series of explanations made it impossible to find any loopholes.

The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up inexperienced, looked at the ministers, and shouted loudly.

"It seems that the ministers have no objections anymore, then Wen Zhong, I will do as you said, and you will handle it."

"Yes, I obey the order."

Wen Zhong clenched his fists and bowed deeply.

The reason why Wen Zhong left was because of the tyranny of the king of the enemy country. Wen Zhong himself was a righteous person, and the king he served was so cruel, so he later recognized that the two of them were from different directions.

That's why I left resolutely and looked for someone who had the same goals as me.

And when he saw Ji Fa for the first time, he knew he had found it.

Although Ji Fa is not in power yet, through Ji Fa, he got to know the current emperor, and found that he is also a person of his own kind, who can be respected by him.

At this time, other state affairs were already being discussed in the hall.

Half an hour passed.

"Retreat!"

As soon as the stone slab was slapped, everyone dispersed.

The emperor also returned to his left palace room at this time.

"Go and invite Mr. Jiang Chen over..."

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows and ordered to the eunuch beside him.

"Slave Nuo."

After listening, he headed out the door.

After a while, they arrived with Jiang Chen.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Jiang Chen asked directly as soon as he entered the door.

In fact, Jiang Chen knew before that the emperor would definitely announce him accordingly.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, I want to ask something."

Seeing Jiang Chen's arrival, the emperor instantly beamed with joy.

For Jiang Chen, the emperor loved him very much, and immediately invited him to stay after he arrived.

"Your Majesty wants to talk about the captives."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

He, who was several hundred meters away, had already clearly heard what happened above the palace.

So when the emperor summoned him, he knew exactly what to ask.

"Sir is worthy of being a saint, so what do you think of it?"

Seeing that the other party already understood, His Majesty the Emperor stopped beating around the bush.

As for what Minister Jiang said, the emperor naturally took it to heart, after all, what he said was not unreasonable.

Although they have gained a lot from this victory, many things have not been resolved, so they cannot stand up to what Master Jiang said.

If those captives are really included in their own country, but then respond to the enemy country, it will make their country unprepared and in a complete defeat. At that time, it will not be as simple as revenge.

Instead, they trampled their country down heavily, and there was nowhere to turn back.

"I know what His Majesty is worried about, but please trust Wen Zhong, I believe he can do a good job."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and made a firm look at the emperor.

And seeing this, the emperor's originally anxious heart gradually settled down.

For some reason, there was an inexplicable trust in what Jiang Chen said. As long as Jiang Chen said it, His Majesty the Emperor believed that it would definitely happen.

Jiang Chen and the emperor chatted briefly for a while.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the affairs here are almost over, so I plan to leave in a few days."

When the two were chatting about the same, Jiang Chen remembered and told the matter.

In any case, since he left, he should naturally tell the emperor.

"Why did you leave so early? Why didn't you stay here for a few more days, sir? The victory in this battle was also because of your husband. Before you could thank your husband, he left."

Hearing this, the emperor was also surprised.

"No, there are other things waiting for me to deal with, and I will definitely come back again if I have a chance."

Jiang Chen shook his head and politely refused.

Now that he hasn't been back for a long time, he should go back and have a look.

Seeing Fang Dui's determination, the emperor didn't want to keep him anymore, because after all, each had his own ambitions.

Besides, how could a sage Jiang Chen stay here for too long? He still has more important things to do.

"Since this is the case, then I won't keep you anymore. If there is anything in the future, sir, I will definitely tell Xiqi, and Xiqi will definitely help you with all my strength."

Although the emperor knew that Jiang Chen might not need them at all, he couldn't guarantee that, after all, one more person would give him more strength.

"Then I'm here to thank the emperor first."

Jiang Chen also thanked.

"After I leave, I hope His Majesty the Emperor will help me take care of my disciples..."

Halfway through Jiang Chen's words, it goes without saying.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, please don't worry, Miss Shiji will be treated like my own daughter. If Ji Fa bullies her, then I will not spare him."

The emperor also loved Shi Ji very much, so he also very much agreed with his daughter's marriage, and naturally he would not let Ji Fa bully her, besides, he loved her so much.

"Then again, Jiang Chen thanked His Majesty first."

Chapter 410: Jiang Chen Leaves
In fact, Jiang Chen wasn't worried that Ji Fa would bully Shi Ji, but other people were doing the trick.

After all, the people in the palace are fearful, and many people know people, face, and heart, and now Shiji is at his weakest, so he is a little worried, but if he thinks about it, it may be because he is too worried, Ji Fa loves her so much, It must be able to protect her well.

And at this time in Shiji's bedroom.

Ji Fa looked at the pale-faced Shi Ji, feeling aching and regretful at the same time.

He didn't expect to have to bear such a lot of patience to get rid of Xiangu. If he had known that he would suffer so much pain because of this, he would have strongly opposed it before then.

After all, the two of them are together, and he wants each other to be safe and healthy.

But now that the other party actually removed the fairy bones in order to stay with him, what did he do for her?

"Miss Shiji, you have suffered, and I will treat you well."

Ji Fa held Shi Ji's cold hands, with the other hand gently stroking Shi Ji's pale face, and said with a distressed face.

Button button ...

"Report to Second Highness, there is something to report."

Suddenly the voice of the maid outside the door sounded.

Ji Fa gave Shi Ji a gentle look, then turned and walked out the door.

"What if?"

After going out, Ji Fa seemed to have completely changed his appearance. He was cold and dangerous, and the maid did not dare to look up at him.

Seeing Ji's questioning, he said quickly.

"Mr. Jiang Chen is about to leave."

"Okay, I understand, let's go down."

A moment later, outside the palace, a few scattered people surrounded one person.

"Be careful on the road, sir, remember to come back when you are free."

The person who said this was Nezha's father, Li Jing.

"And you, don't make trouble for Mister!"

Changing his tone, he looked at the child next to Jiang Chen and instructed.

"I know dad, am I that kind of person?"

The child pouted dissatisfiedly, talking about him in front of so many people, how embarrassing he was.

This child is Nezha.

The news of Jiang Chen's departure was not known to many people. First, he felt that there was no need to mobilize so many people. Second, he didn't know the others very well, so there was no need for a farewell ceremony.

Before leaving, he wanted to take Nezha away, and discussed with Li Jing and his wife. Nezha was also happy, after all, he could go out to play.

Yes, for Nezha who is trapped in this city, he hopes to go out and make a living by himself.

And Jiang Chen is also familiar with his character, so he decided to bring him along.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, if there is a chance, I will definitely go to visit."

Ji Fa stood by and said sincerely.

"Okay, Second Young Master is welcome at any time, and please help me to say something to Shiji. Although the fairy bones have been removed, she will always be my disciple."

Jiang Chen looked at Ji Fa seriously.

"Ji Fa understands and will tell the truth."

When he heard this, Ji Fa's eyes were slightly watery, he was moved, he was moved because Shi Ji was a disciple of Jiejiao, and because she had such a good uncle.

"Okay, time is running out, we should go."

Jiang Chen looked at the crowd, smiled slightly, and said goodbye.

"I'll go to the saint after I've dealt with the matter here."

Wen Zhong said to them when they were about to leave.

Jiang Chen nodded, said no more, took Nezha to leap forward, and disappeared in place.

The two looked at the sky, and the tiny figure slowly moved away.

At this time the enemy's territory.

"Report to Your Majesty, according to the spies, Jiang Chen has left with Nezha."

A soldier hurried into the tent and reported.

At this time, the king sitting in the very center of the palace heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten.

Before he could say anything, the two people next to him spoke first.

"My lord, since Jiang Chen has left, then attacking Xiqi is the best opportunity."

Shen Gongbao said viciously with murderous intent in his eyes.

All the previous grudges were counted together, and he wanted the whole of Xiqi to be buried with him.

If it weren't for the existence of someone like Jiang Chen, they would not have lost the battle. It was all because of Jiang Chen's strategy that they suffered such a great humiliation.

Now that the most important person has left, they have a chance to attack Xiqi and take it down.

Compared with Shen Gongbao's excitement, Jiang Ziya next to him was calmer.

After thinking for a few minutes, he slowly analyzed.

"I don't think so. The spies just now reported that Jiang Chen only took Nezha with him, but the woman who fought with us that day and Wen Zhong didn't."

"So even if Jiang Chen leaves, those two people will pose a threat to us. Besides, Jiang Chen has just set off, and he doesn't know how far he can go. He may return at any time. If he suddenly attacks now, it will only harm us and not benefit us."

After speaking, Jiang Ziya looked at the king in front of him.

"What Jiang Ziya said is not unreasonable, just wait a little longer, and wait for the chance to win Xiqi at once."

The king pondered for a moment, then his rich voice slowly rose, and a sternness flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 410

Next time he will not give Xiqi any chance to fight back, he will attack Xiqi himself.

It is not difficult to say that in their country, the most indispensable thing may be soldiers.

After being captured by Xiqi with [-] troops, they were still able to produce a million troops, of course not talking about the present.

"Shen Gongbao, go and capture young and strong men from all over the country, and force them to join the army. If they don't want to join the army, then threaten their parents, wives and children..."

Your Majesty didn't say any more, but what he said was already self-evident, and Shen Gongbao completely understood it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and collect immediately."

After all, Shen Gongbao quickly turned around and left with dozens of soldiers.

It can be seen that the people of their country are about to fall into a bloodbath.

At this time, Xiqi Prison was in prison.

The darkness shrouded in it, and the firelight appeared extraordinarily bright in it.

At this time, one person was sitting on the bench, surrounded by Xiqi's soldiers, and in front of this person stood millions of soldiers from the enemy country.

The whole space was serious and quiet, and there was something that made people breathless. In the entire prison, no one spoke.

Due to the dim light in Laozhong, I couldn't see the expression of the person in front of me clearly, but if I looked carefully, I could see the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front of this person, their foreheads were dripping with cold sweat.

It was not because of the high temperature in the prison, but because they felt that they were chilling.

Because the person in front of him was under invisible pressure.

"Lord Wen Zhong."

At this time, a general of Xiqi hurried forward, very respectful.

"How's it going?"

Indifferent without a trace of warmth.

"My lord, none of the soldiers of the enemy country is willing to surrender."

General Xiqi hesitated a bit.

After all, this means that they are not capable enough to convince these enemy soldiers, so they are a little nervous about the adults' inquiries.

"Oh? It seems that they are still a group of loyal people."

When Wen Zhong heard this, he was not angry, instead, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, but he couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness, which made people shudder even more.

After saying these words, the surrounding air pressure dropped even more.

Even the general couldn't help trembling slightly.

Before Wen Zhong could continue speaking, someone among the 10,000+ soldiers took the lead in shouting and cursing directly.

"Hey, Wen Zhong, thanks to the fact that you were the national teacher of your own country before, and now you are helping outsiders, you traitor, shameless. I was really blind at the time and supported you."

A series of cursing came.

And as soon as his words came out, other soldiers also cursed loudly, and the entire prison was extremely lively in an instant.

"What are you talking about? What are you all talking about? Shut up!"

Seeing the rebellion of these enemy soldiers, the general quickly ordered the surrounding Xiqi soldiers to suppress them, and the iron rods in his hands were about to fall on those enemy soldiers.

"Stop for me!"

A calm but deterrent voice silenced everyone.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice.

Wen Zhong had already stood up from the chair at this time, looking at everyone without a trace of warmth in his eyes.

He quietly looked at the people who made a fuss just now, but those people couldn't help but lower their heads and dodge their eyes, not daring to say anything more.

"support me?"

Wen Zhong said slowly.

When he left, he was in such a state of embarrassment that no one in the hall supported him.

But little soldiers like them obviously can't do anything even if they know what's going on in the hall, because it's not something they can decide.

"Yes, it was because of you that I joined this army, but what have you done now?"

The soldier seemed unwilling, and hurriedly replied.

"I have a clear conscience for what I do, not to mention that I don't have to report to others."

Wen Zhong glanced at him with a complicated expression, but fortunately, the lights in the prison were dim, making it impossible for people to notice his strangeness.

But his tone was still indifferent.

"But it's not asking you how I am. Let me ask you one more question, which one of you is willing to join Xiqi?"

Wen Zhong swept away one by one.

"You don't have to answer me in a hurry. What I want to tell you first is to think about how you entered the army in the country? How did the king treat you? And the suffering I have suffered since entering the army is because Who? Think about it carefully, and tell me when you figure it out, but I only give you two days."

After Wen Zhong finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving everyone silent.

It's just that when he left, he reminded the general beside him.

"Indoctrinate them, and stop using force!"

"Understood, my lord."

After that, he left.

Walking out of the prison, a ray of sunlight fell into Wen Zhong's eyes.There was something dazzling for a while, and I couldn't react.

What I said to the soldiers of the enemy country has always been in my mind.

It's not hard to say that when he was in the enemy's country, it was the time he didn't want to mention the last time, but their words brought him back to that time again, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Chapter 420 The Mysterious Land
"Wen Zhong."

At this moment, a voice pulled his thoughts back, and when he fixed his eyes, Ji Fa was standing not far from him.

"Second son."

Seeing Ji Fa, Wen Zhong raised his foot and walked towards him.

"Have you agreed with them? Who are you willing to rely on?"

Ji Fa asked.

"No, I believe 80.00% of them will after two days."

Wen Zhong shook his head and spoke the truth.

Ji Fa nodded and believed it, which was within his expectation.

"Second Young Master, why did you come here? Miss Shiji, is she alright?"

After Wen Zhong thought about it, he also asked.

"She's awake, but she's still a little weak. Because of Shiji, she hasn't been taken care of here for a few days? So come and have a look."

"Yeah, just wake up, the second son will take care of Miss Shiji, I'll watch over here."

Wen Zhong also said kindly.

Ji Fa nodded, agreeing.

"Let's go."

The two walked out together.

Jiang Chen jumped up and carried Nezha across tens of thousands of meters.

"Master, where are we going? This doesn't seem to be the direction of the Jujiao station."

Nezha looked in the obviously wrong direction and asked.

"Before I go back, I still have something to do, so you can go with me."

"Oh, okay."

Nezha listened, and said honestly.

In Xiqi Shiji's bedroom.

Shi Ji looked at the envelope in front of her, with tears welling up in her eyes. On the paper in front of her, she could vaguely see several places that were wet by water.

What I'm looking at now is a letter Jiang Chen left for her.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Ji Fa sitting beside her, and she could clearly feel Ji Fa's meticulous care of her since she was in a coma.

So for Ji Fa, she will only deepen her love and touch.

As soon as he opened it, Ji Fa greeted him briefly, then handed the letter to him, and left by himself.

Shi Ji knew that Ji Fa was trying to give her some free time, so he looked at Ji Fa with some emotion.

But after that, the envelope was gradually opened.

When the first sentence was reflected, Shi Ji was inexplicably moved in his heart, and until the end, Shi Ji had a lot of admiration for Jiang Chen.

Button button ...

There was a knock on the door.

Shi Ji wiped away his tears, and looked at the person who walked in slowly.

"Just like a child."

As soon as Ji Fa came in, he felt Shiji's strangeness, and when he saw her red eyes, he immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't help joking.

"I don't have one."

Hearing Ji Fa's attack, he couldn't help laughing.

This was the first time Ji Fa spoke to himself in such a joking manner, and it wasn't surprising, it just felt differently interesting.

Shi Ji looked at the other side in a daze.

"what's wrong?"

Ji Fa shook his hand in front of Shi Ji, trying to bring Shi Ji back from his memories.

"Ah...no, nothing."

"Okay, don't ask for anything, don't think about it, Mr. Jiang Chen has always been such a warm person, let alone your uncle, of course he has to stand by your side."

Ji Fa sat down next to Shi Ji, hugged him lightly, and said softly.

"There is one last sentence. It was Mr. Jiang Chen who told me before he left. He will always be Jiejiao's disciple and his apprentice forever."

After hearing what Ji Fa said, Shi Ji's body voice faintly twitched.

"In front of me, never be reserved."

Ji Fa hugged her, patted his shoulder slowly, and said softly.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Shiji burst into tears in Ji Fa's arms.

It is not difficult to say that no matter Shiji was a saint before or a mortal now, there is a lot of pressure.

In Shiji's dormitory, there were bursts of weeping.

For Shiji's face, Ji Fa had concluded that Shiji's mood was not stable before, so before he walked in, he set up a barrier around the houses and dismissed all the mediocre people.

Jiang Chen took Nezha with him and headed towards the northwest at high speed.

Nezha followed all the way, and the road became more and more deviated. It was a road he had never experienced before, because when he went to that place, the surrounding scene became more and more smoggy, which made people feel a little confused.

But looking at the calm Jiang Chen next to him, Nezha thought for a long time, suppressing the doubts in his heart, and never said it out.

Until the last black mountain appeared in front of the two of them, and the surrounding smoke became more and more dense, making people even a little bit overwhelmed.

"Breathe through your belly and hold your breath."

Jiang Chen's voice slowly entered from his ears.

"Master, what is this place?"

Nezha hastily followed what Jiang Chen said, but in the end he also asked questions, and now he couldn't hold back anymore.

(End of this chapter)
