Chapter 222 The Dead Man
In this land where Yao, Shun and Yu lived, there would always be people who would be ashamed to submit to the Kingdom of Jin.

How can it be tolerated that the land of the Central Plains, which was defiled and trampled by the Jin people, is filled with a fishy stench?
Where is the spirit of heroes and martyrs throughout the ages who have sacrificed their lives for their country?

When will the integrity of the children of the Han family be connected with the ambitions of the ancestors?
Li Qiong felt that he already had the answer.

It's now.

Today's emperor has the ambition to engulf the universe, and even has the courage to take risks with his own body. What he said to Wanyan Wushu back then... The king of Jin and the marshal came to supervise the battle in person, while the general of Song stayed away in the name of prudence. The battlefield; the Jin State has clear rewards and punishments for soldiers, and the Song State has no rules for rewards and punishments. Compared with the Kingdom of Jin, there are 1000 million unworthy ones.

But now, these problems are no longer a problem. The emperor has shown his decisiveness. It is said that after three days of separation, people should be treated with admiration. The Zhao Guan family of the Song Dynasty really made Li Qiong realize what it means to be 'excited'. Treat each other'.

Not far away, Pan Yi and Ma Li had already fought with Song Jun. Knowing that his time was running out, he waved the flag, and the arrows rained down on the three city walls, and fell towards the survivors below. down.

This time, Liu Bang did not hide again. Fortunately, the imperial guards of the Imperial City Division were extremely loyal and formed a wall around him and Xin Zan Li Bao. This prevented those arrows from scratching Zhao Guan's armor. , and when the second wave of arrows fell, only [-]% of the people in the city who could still move between the Song Army and the Zuo Hu Army were left.

"is there anybody……"

Asking this made him a little embarrassed. Liu Bang has always been used to being a benevolent person, such as persuading people to die, which used to be done by others.

So it was still difficult for him to say it in person, but at this time, other than using Li Bao's things to marry Li Qiong, he really couldn't think of any other way to stop this person.

Despite the embarrassment, he still squeezed out the words:

"Is there anyone willing to assassinate Li Qiong... the one who succeeds will be rewarded with a thousand guan, and be promoted to three... five levels!"

This was a road of death, and both Liu Bang and Li Bao and Xin Zan on the side underestimated the loyalty of these forbidden troops.

Most of the people in the Imperial City Division were disrupted and sent into the army. Most of the current ones were selected by Yang Yizhong and the Zhong family. of lofty ideals.

Li Qiong's behavior had already aroused public outrage, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward. Therefore, as soon as Liu Bang finished speaking, there was not even a moment's pause, and many people began to volunteer.

Liu Bang was overjoyed in his heart, but he became a little sad again.

They are all courageous people, and they are all our own people. It is really not worth asking them to trade lives with Li Qiong!

"Li Qiong, stop!"

While shouting the words loudly and asking the people around him to repeat them, he wanted to stabilize Li Qiong. At the same time, he quickly asked Li Bao to choose people by himself, and then teach them how to light a fire after he has chosen them... This bad guy, He couldn't do it after all.

Li Bao did not dare to disobey orders. Although Zhao Guan's family had promised him many things, he was still a warrior and the commander of Yue Fei's tent. These tough-looking men were his colleagues.

"The official will wait a moment, and when the guilty minister settles this injustice, he will execute himself and apologize!"

"You..." The curse words were suppressed, and Liu Bang took a deep breath, "You will die if you die, leaving a way for these people to survive."

"If I really mistreated you back then, then today I will apologize to you and make amends. If you sell your face to me, it will not be a waste of us as kings and ministers!"

As soon as these words came out, even Wang Yecha, who was stabbing someone with his hand, stopped for a moment... The bald ugly man quickly shook his head, thinking that he hadn't killed anyone for a long time, and even his hallucinations became more and more outrageous.

He was like this, let alone other people. The defenders on the city wall stopped their hands and exchanged glances. Jin Sai, who had been advising everyone to stop, also froze in place. Frozen at this moment, the tens of thousands of people in Bozhou all looked at their emperor.

And when these words reached the ears of the people, it took on a different flavor... What kind of status did the Zhao Guan family have, that they would put their face so lowly for the people of Bozhou!

They wanted to stay rational, but some things in their bones, some physiological reactions about the "monarch", made them uncontrollable and gave birth to many emotions.

He was proud and bowed his head for the sake of his own life, but also... felt like crying.

Li Qiong only felt that his nose was sore. He was a literati. Although he had been in the army for many years, he had never forgotten his status as a student.

Now after hearing the emperor's words of apology, his body has become overwhelming.

He seemed to understand a little bit, and understood why Zongze was insisting on things back then.

In the past, when I read in books, when I saw something about Nie Zhengzhuanzhu and Tian Guangyurang, I knew they were right, but it was hard to feel that feeling in my heart.

The feeling of sacrificing one's life for a thing or a promise.

Now, this sentence from Zhao Guan's family gave him a complete taste of that feeling... It was just a sentence, and he already had almost no regrets.

On this side, Li Qiong was feeling the feelings the emperor brought him, while on the other side, Liu Bang looked at the few people kneeling in front of him, but his heart almost sank to the bottom of the valley.Two Thunderbolts and three Thunderbolts, these are the only five that Li Bao brought from Haizhou.

And he also selected five people to be the dead soldiers to carry out this task.

"Do you know the consequences?"

The imperial guard with a pockmarked face smiled and said: "I know, I know, Brother Li has already told us everything."

"That you……"

Mazi continued: "I'm afraid that if I die early and give birth to someone else, the officials will take good care of me and see if I can beat Li Qiong to death."

Another imperial guard with a somewhat large earlobe who looked particularly familiar to Liu Bang said:
"It's a pity that we won't be able to see the officials killing golden dogs anymore... If we go further north, the cold spring will be severe. Your Majesty should pay attention to your body then."

"You are……"

Liu Bang wanted to scold himself, but at this time, he couldn't remember this person's name.

Big Earlobe didn't care, and introduced himself: "The last general will be able to resist."

"Cousin Zhongfeng, right? I remember you."

Zhong Kang laughed enthusiastically.

When he saw the last person, he just lowered his head. Liu Bang stared at him, but he refused to raise his head.

"You are again..."

The emperor lay down directly, put his head in front of him, looked at his gray beard, and immediately stood up.

"Change someone."

Just as Li Bao was about to speak, Xin Zan, who had put on his armor, took a step ahead:
"This is God's will. Please fulfill it, Your Majesty."

It turned out that there were a lot of people who signed up just now, so Li Bao took off the red tassels on his helmet and asked everyone to draw lots.

Xinzan also participated, and he also caught it, so he followed.

"You are old, and you are not a member of the Forbidden Army. You are not qualified to do this."

"It's just because I'm old," Xin Zan kowtowed, "I've lived enough."

"The old minister was hindered by his own family members. In these years, he devoted himself to the north and never had any strength to compete with the Song Dynasty."

"I was born in Han land, I was raised by Han people, I was raised by Han water, and I was taught Chinese characters. Now is the time when officials want to employ people, and how can ministers avoid them?"

"I exchanged this body for the lives of the people of Bozhou. In the end, this transaction was made by me."

Old Taoist Priest Liu Zhan looked at his old friend, sighed deeply, and knelt down:

"Please also ask the officials to help him."

Liu Bang turned around and looked at the corpses on the ground, as well as the people who were struggling...men, women, old and children, no one was spared.

"Bozhou City will erect a monument for you, and I will personally take care of your family."

Five people kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, take care!"

Xin Zandou kowtowed many times, as if he wanted to return all the debt he had owed over the years to the emperor at this time.

"It's best... to come back alive."

The five of them paused for a moment, then ran towards Li Qiong's direction resolutely.

Damn you, Li Qiong.
