The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 73 Preparing for Peace
They spread out so that the arrows wouldn't come together and catch them all in one fell swoop.Li Youzhi's group was in front, and Sun Peng's group was slightly behind.

Holding their breath, they swam forward for more than ten meters. As soon as they poked their heads out to breathe fresh air, the man on the shore shot arrows at them.As a last resort, they held their breath and sank.

After swimming for another ten meters, some people stuck their heads out to breathe in the fresh air.Li Youzhi moved slowly and was accidentally shot in the arm by a maniac.He sank several meters in pain, and was pulled up by his companions.

Li Youzhi shook his head at his companion, tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and gave it to him.He couldn't run anymore, and if he swam forward, he would only be dragging down his companions.

Suddenly, Li Youzhi pushed away his companion's hand, endured the pain, and swam in the opposite direction.He passed by Sun Peng, smiled at Sun Peng, and continued to swim forward.

He swam out more than ten meters, stuck his head out, and took a big breath of fresh air. After an interval of two seconds, he sank again.The locust man noticed that someone was swimming back again and thought they were trying to escape from that direction.

"Chase!" The man on the shore also changed direction, holding a torch and turning around to chase.

Sun Peng was holding his breath under the water, unable to speak, and looked back.Then with a wave of their hands, they continued to swim forward, except Li Youzhi who fell in the opposite direction.

Without the illumination of the nymphoman's torch, they could quietly take a few breaths of fresh air after swimming more than ten meters, and then continue to sink.

Li Youzhi swam very far this time. It wasn't until he had no strength left and the pain was unbearable that he stuck his head out of the water.Arrows were shot from the shore, and he was hit by arrows one after another as expected.It was dark and no color could be seen. Only the area illuminated by the crickets was dyed red by blood.

Sun Peng was in front and could not hear the movement behind them. After swimming a certain distance, they climbed ashore in the dark.The eyes of several men were all red, and no one mentioned Li Youzhi behind them.Gritting his teeth, he continued to escape through the jungle towards home.

When they arrived at Zhutian Village, facing the people who came up to them, several of them knelt down and kowtowed three times to Li Youzhi's parents.The man holding the fabric of Li Youzhi's clothes gave the fabric to his parents with trembling hands.

Li Youzhi's father was swaying and held on to the door frame to prevent him from falling.His mother burst into tears all of a sudden, crying that the damned man must have his retribution.

In all wars, there are no undead people. Li Youzhi was the first person in Zhutian Village to die because of the war, but he was definitely not the last one.In the original book, only Zheng Wenping and Zheng Wuan survived, and they were separated.

Li Youzhi's parents set up a tomb for him, and all the men, women, and children in Zhutian Village paid homage to him.

Because one-third of the granary was burned down and the morale of the army was unstable, the men wanted a quick victory.As soon as day broke, they launched an even more frenzied attack.Although some of the soldiers were lost yesterday, the remaining soldiers rushed forward desperately, and the soldiers of Linjiang County were unable to resist.

Sicang came to invite Zheng Qiuyun again and asked her if there was anything she could do.

Zheng Qiuyun said: "Li Youzhi is dead."

Sicang didn't know who Li Youzhi was. Yesterday Zheng Qiuyun suggested burning the granary, and he readily agreed.The soldiers volunteered to go with Sun Peng, but he didn't even count their names.

Zheng Qiuyun added, "He is from Zhutian Village and has only grown up this year. He has a pear dimple and is very cute."

Sicang understood her thoughts and led her to the city wall.Under the city tower, there was a mass of black people, and on the city wall, soldiers kept falling.

"Qiuyun, look at it. Do you know the soldiers from Zhutian Village? Maybe you know the soldiers from Dongcang Village? On the battlefield, no one knows who they are. They are soldiers. They only have their own responsibilities. Don't say it's them. , even if I need to charge into battle, others will only say that Sicang of Linjiang County died heroically, and no one cares how old my parents are this year."

"It's not easy to burn their granaries. It's a blessing to only lose one person. These people burn, kill and loot at will. If the city is destroyed, it will be difficult for their families to survive." Zheng Qiuyun came down from the city wall and returned to the state government office. Here, think carefully.There are so many of these locusts that if they come forcefully, they will suffer a great loss.She was thinking about it when Zheng Wenping came in from outside the government office. He suggested, "Sister, we can use a strategy to surround Wei and save Zhao."

"The Xie soldiers are divided into three groups. There will not be much defense left in Qingzhou. Wu An has sent a letter and they have sneaked into Qingzhou city. We can cooperate with him inside and outside to capture Qingzhou."

He asked for help voluntarily, "Sister, maybe you can let me lead the troops?"

Zheng Qiuyun felt that this plan was feasible, but she was also worried about Zheng Wenping, and thinking of what Sicang said today, she made a decision. "If Sicang agrees, you can lead troops to Qingzhou and be more careful."

Zheng Wenping smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, Wu An and I have grown up. It's time for us to protect you."

He has indeed grown very tall, and Zheng Qiuyun has to look up at him now.Zheng Qiuyun also smiled, "Sister, I'm waiting for your safe return."

Sicang is now urgently ill and seeking medical treatment. Linjiang County is already in a losing situation. He will try any method.

Zheng Wenping ordered 5000 troops, plus 2000 villagers who usually participate in training.He just said a hasty farewell to Zheng Qiuyun and led his troops to Qingzhou.

On the way, they met soldiers escorting the magistrate and his wife. Zheng Wenping helped them enter Linjiang County through a secret passage.

When Sicang heard that the magistrate was back, he seemed to have found a backbone and hurried over to greet them.He never expected that he would be greeted by two corpses. The magistrate and his wife were killed by the Chrysalis because of their inability to move on the day when the Qingzhou City was destroyed and the eldest prince abandoned the city to escape.

The words Sicang comforted Zheng Qiuyun just a moment ago seemed particularly ridiculous. It really didn't hurt to stand and talk.Now that the magistrate is dead, Sicang can understand Zheng Qiuyun's mood at that time.

Now it was Zheng Qiuyun's turn to comfort him, but Zheng Qiuyun couldn't say anything to comfort him.After all, Li Youzhi died a worthy death, but the county magistrate was simply an unreasonable disaster.If hatred had substance, Zheng Qiuyun now wanted to kill the eldest prince.

She still remembered the day she traveled through time, and it was the county magistrate who made the decision for her, making her feel the warmth and justice of this world.

"Inform the magistrate's family to bury the master and his wife." Sicang cried bitterly, which could only mean that Zheng Qiuyun ordered the soldiers to take care of the magistrate's funeral.

Sicang originally hoped to resist for a while and wait for the magistrate and reinforcements to arrive.Now that the magistrate is dead, he has also lost his fighting spirit.

He called his advisers, "Get ready to negotiate peace."

His counselor was very surprised, "Sir, do you want to surrender?"

Sicang still had one last conscience, "If the Chrysalis people can promise to surrender and not kill the people, we will surrender."

Zheng Qiuyun smiled, "Sir, you said that the Chrysalis people burned, killed and looted. Do you believe their promises?"

Sicang straightened his clothes and said, "Miss Zheng has worked hard during this time, so I won't worry about this. Someone, please send Miss Zheng back to rest."
