Eternal Love

   Chapter 72: For Tomorrow (4)

  The setting sun dyed the sky on the west side red, and it was as dense as a flame. There were dozens of camps outside Weicheng, and it felt as opposed to the itinerary of Weicheng. Many guards were patrolling and coming in and out, looking very busy...

  A group of people gathered in a camp, and the one standing in the middle was Zhou Yan.

   "How is the progress?"

   "Yes, all aspects are progressing smoothly. The border blockade also sends back news that it will be ready by midnight today."

   "It's in Weicheng."

  "Most of them have been deployed."

  "Very good, then we will pass on the order, we will retreat when we are young, and we will act together when we are ugly."

"Yes!"

  Zhou Yan’s deployment has been completed one by one. Only when the time is right, the fire light will dye the sky again like a sunset.

  "Wang Ye——"

  After a brief silence, a middle-aged man broke the silence and stepped forward. From the clothing, it can be seen that he belonged to a civil official, and instantly he became the focus of everyone.

   "Uh? What's the matter? Master Zhu."

   "Xiaguan Zhuji has something to say, I don't know if it should be said."

"Say."

  As if a little lazy, Zhou Yan supported his face with his elbow, and looked at Zhu Ji who stood up bravely in front of him with a blank expression.

"Yes, the lower officials want to know, does the prince have to execute those people? And Weicheng is a city that is comparable to the royal capital, even above the royal capital, which is prosperous and has a history of years, not to mention those infected, those innocent Ren and Weicheng, the lower officials felt that they were all burned a bit..."

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Ji summoned great courage to question Zhou Yan. Many people couldn’t help but feel a chill. One was to admire Zhu Ji’s courage, and the other was Zhou Yan stared at Zhu Ji in silence. Silence is more frightening than anything else.

  After a while, Zhou Yan sat up and stood up. The others seemed to have stopped breathing for an instant. The silence inside the camp was terribly silent, because they knew that one of them would die.

   "Master Zhu."

   "The next official is here."

   "Are you trying to say that this king's actions are cruel?"

   "Don't dare to be under the official!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, Zhu Ji immediately bowed to Zhou Yan's knees.

   "It's okay, it should be said that this king admires your courage, do you think this king wants to treat those people to death and must burn his city?"

   "Of course this is not the meaning of subordinate officials, but the subordinate officials feel that innocent people should not be involved."

"Then can you guarantee that they will not be infected? Can you guarantee that they will not avenge the dead after they survive? Zhu Ji, you should be regarded as one of the senior members of this king? Or say, ever After a period of leisure, you forget what you should do?"

Zhou Yan raised a series of questions that made Zhu Ji speechless. "Senior" is just like the literal meaning. Zhu Ji has not talked about it for ten years under Zhou Yan's command, so it is impossible not to understand Zhou Yan's cruelty. It should be said. He has seen no matter how cruel things are, and only now has he come forward because of conscience discoveries? still is?

"If you cut the grass, you must remove the roots. This king should have told you? Even innocent children should not be soft, otherwise you will regret it later. I thought you would have some understanding after following this king for many years. I think you will say these things sometimes."

Zhou Yan’s words were just like what he did, and everything was wiped out. It was like taking Yinyin from the fish island and knocking Zhao Ziheng off the cliff. If the news leaked, the whole island would be slaughtered to no one. In the end, he set fire to cover up everything, so no one outside knows.

   "The officer is very sorry, please forgive me."

   "Tell this king, what made you change? I even made you say these things!"

Zhu Ji was startled, Zhou Yan's words seemed to ask his heart. This is what he wanted to ask. The distance between the helpless and Zhou Yan did not allow him to do this, and he could not do it. He admitted that Zhou Yan's approach was extreme but it was also Righteousness, he also agrees with this method of relieving future troubles, but that was the past. When he saw Zhou Yan’s changes before, he had new ideas and new pursuits and goals. What has changed is the loyalty to Zhou Yan.

   "Xiaguan can only say that Xiaguan's loyalty to the prince can be learned from the sun and the moon, and there is absolutely no meaning to disrespect the prince by saying this."

"Oh!?"

Listening to Zhu Ji’s allegiance, Zhou Yan’s expression or eyes did not change, and he looked at Zhu Ji with a seemingly non-existent look. Others only felt that cold sweat was constantly shed from their backs, and they even wanted to breathe normally. Don't dare, for fear that the voice will be heard if it is loud.

  "What if this king insists on doing that?"

   "...the subordinates must also obey."

   Like the repression in his heart, Zhu Ji lowered his head helplessly and replied firmly, really without any hesitation in Zhou Yan's allegiance.

"Well, this king will write it down first, and you will be saved by this sentence. Listen, and you, this king will not say it a second time. From now on, just do it well. You can do your own business, if you want to live, do more and talk less.

"Yes!!"

Everyone knelt and responded. Zhou Yan’s words sounded ordinary and simple. In fact, anyone who was a little smarter knew that, but they also understood that they were also attracted by Zhou Yan’s arrogant nature. As long as they do their own thing, it’s true. It is not yet their turn to interrogate, interrupt or question other things. Zhou Yan's existence itself belongs to the self-respecting character of the heavens and the world. From the beginning of their pledge of allegiance, they should be psychologically prepared to accept and face everything.
