Hey!Your patron saint of the underworld has been revealed!

"what!"

The father-in-law was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell down.

"You, you..." The father-in-law pointed at the general with trembling fingers, "You have ruined a big thing! You are so audacious!"

Seeing this, the deputy general knelt down and shouted, "Supervisor, the general has beheaded the enemy. Now is a good time to pursue the victory. As long as we successfully win this battle, there is no need to negotiate peace!"

"Hmph! You have won this battle, can you win in the future? The Emperor has decided to negotiate a peace, and has specially ordered me to stabilize the situation. This is not something I can be sure of. This is a decision jointly made by the Emperor and the civil servants and generals of the Manchu Dynasty."

The father-in-law caressed his thumping chest, "Come here, tie up this daring guy and wait until he is punished!"

While being imprisoned, Qiu Zhuo gained a deeper understanding of the dynasty where this frustrated general belonged.

As the saying goes, a gentleman's glory will decline in three generations and be cut off in five generations.

Today's dynasty is no longer the powerful era it once was. The rulers live in a corner and have no fighting spirit. There are countless people in the imperial court who are dead and living as vegetarians. The phenomenon of redundant officials and redundant expenses is getting worse. All of this is pushing the dynasty towards a state of decline. .

Under such a situation, even if the general is determined to serve his country, fights bloody battles, and goes to great lengths to regain lost territory, it will all be in vain in the end.

The general was trapped in the cage outside the tent. The wind outside the wall was blowing loudly, and the snow in the sky was as big as goose feathers and fell silently.

The general never thought in his life that he would fall into such a situation or be imprisoned in the cage of his own country.

"General, it's me!"

The lieutenant general groped slowly in the darkness, approached the cage, and whispered: "General, open the cage and run away. I overheard that the supervisor was conspiring with his subordinates in the camp, planning to attack It’s not good for you.”

The general flatly refused, "No, I won't become a deserter! Leave quickly, don't let anyone see you!"

"General!" the deputy general excitedly grasped the fence of the prison, "They are obviously planning to put you to death, and they will not let you go! Then they will slap a label on you and you will be sentenced to death. Those guys in the court are eager to let you die, how can you fulfill their wishes?"

The general shook his head, "If I escape, what will happen to my family, and what will you do? Even if it means death, I will accept it as if my fate was bad and I was not born in a good time. Perhaps, death is also a kind of Liberation. I led the generals who followed me through life and death to behead the enemy generals, but their sacrifices were in vain. Perhaps this is the retribution I deserve."

"General, how can you say that? It's not your fault at all!"

"Okay, let's go!" The general waved his hand and sighed silently.

The lieutenant general knew that he could not persuade the general and had no choice but to give up. Before leaving, he handed the general a coat and said, "General, it's getting cold. Put it on. Be careful not to catch a cold."

The general said helplessly, "Those who are about to die, why should you care about this? Just leave quickly, don't let them use it to embarrass you."

"Alas!" the deputy general could only sigh, "Okay, general, please take care of yourself."

The general looked at the falling snow in the sky, and suddenly thought of his relatives far away in his hometown. His mother was a complete Buddhist believer. She always prayed to Buddha and chanted sutras, praying to gods and Buddhas to bless her son's safe return from the battlefield.

When he was young, he didn't believe in such things about gods and Buddhas, but later he gradually understood that it was because he had a smooth official career and was high-spirited, without encountering difficulties or suffering great hardships.

Once a person's destiny falls into a desperate situation, it will be difficult to survive without the support of faith in gods and Buddhas.

Qiu Zhuo was different from this general. His faith seemed to have sprouted at a very young age, as if fate had already led him to the established path.It snowed heavily all night, during which many soldiers secretly visited the general, but he was persuaded to go back.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and the scorching sunlight shone so brightly that the general couldn't open his eyes.

The temperature difference between day and night in the frontier fortress is huge. It is unbearably hot during the day and freezing cold at night. The supervisor ordered the prison van to be placed outside, which was a disguised form of torture for the general.

A soldier angrily walked to the cage, mustered up great courage, overcame the timidity that had been buried deep in his heart due to respect for the general, and spoke out.

"General, how could they do this to you? You are a hero of our country. You protect our country. What are they doing when you are fighting on the battlefield? People say that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil. I think they are all lies. Human! General, there is no one in my family anyway, and I am not afraid of them killing my nine tribes, so I will take you and escape!"

Seeing the impulsive soldier running over, the deputy general immediately caught up with him. Before the general could reply, the deputy general slapped the soldier hard on the head.

"You are looking for death! The general is like this, and you are still causing trouble for him. Do you think you are a hero?" The deputy general suddenly grabbed the soldier's collar behind him, "Go back with me!"

"Clap clap-!"

Loud applause suddenly came from far and near. It was the father-in-law who brought his men to watch the fun.

"What a wonderful show of loyalty! It makes people's blood boil just watching it!"

"Hahaha" the father-in-law laughed, his eyes full of sarcasm, "It's a pity that blood can't save your general's life! Tang Guo said that he can negotiate peace with us, but the premise is that we hand over your general. He killed the enemy. The marshal of the army will naturally exchange one life for another."

The deputy general's eyes widened and he could hardly believe his ears, "What did you say? How could the emperor agree to such a thing? Where is the justice?"

"Hahaha! In such a short period of time, I naturally haven't received the emperor's express message." The father-in-law stroked the dusty white hair on his hand, "Would you like to bet with me whether the emperor will agree or not!"

"you……"

The deputy general was speechless. Although he knew that no matter who he told this kind of thing, he would find it outrageous, but he could not guarantee that the current emperor would refuse.

He even had a hunch in his heart that the emperor would probably agree, because he had already promised many things that were not in line with his status. For his own moment of peace, he had sacrificed countless loyal people.

"To this day, why bother with this quarrel of words? Just go back."

The general shook his head helplessly and comforted the lieutenant.

He glanced at the bossy father-in-law indifferently, without any disturbance in his heart.

He doesn't even hate him.

There is no shortage of people like him in this world. There have been people like him in the past and there will be people in the future. Everyone has his own nature and destiny.

"Humph!"

My father-in-law is a perceptive person, and people who can sit in his position are very perceptive. He was naturally aware of the general's attitude towards him, and inevitably became a little angry.

He looked sideways at the general and said disdainfully: "Wait for the emperor's edict to come and see where you end up, hahaha!"
