Chapter 430 Good intentions

The incident happened suddenly, and the defenders retreated day by day. It only took two and a half hours. Xiao Ran once again broke the myth and broke through Tongguan, which is known as a strong iron arm. Even the people in the city did not have time to evacuate. For a moment, mourning was everywhere.

"Put down the weapons in your hand, and the surrenderer will not be killed!" The Turkic cavalry ran through the alley and shouted loudly. Many people have also heard that there is indeed such a benevolence.

"General, general..."

"Tell them to surrender!" Xia Ruoyan slowly closed her eyes and smiled: "Brother Xiao, you are still better in the end. Maybe I can't watch the sunset with you anymore.

His body tilted, and his whole body fell under the tower several feet high. In the sound of the wind, the memories went far away.

The wind galloped, and a white shadow cut through the sky. Xia Ruoyan only felt that her body had fallen into one person's words. This familiar breath, angular face, who else can there be except Xiao Ran? Tears couldn't stop falling and kept knocking on Xiao Ran: "Why did you stop me if you won? Why..." It was not until I was tired that my arms hung weakly.

In the sky, Xiao Ran said in the face of the falling sun, "I said that you can't die without my permission in the future. Believe me, I will give everyone an explanation, but not now.

Xia Ruoyan finally relaxed at this moment, and she has tried her best. She can't change what the ending is.

Tongguan was lost, and almost all of them became prisoners, except for a few people who stood out with their strong martial arts skills. Among them, a large number of martial arts people resisted particularly fiercely. If Xue Ling hadn't suppressed it, I'm afraid there would have been few survivors left. These martial arts figures were held alone. Although all of them are injured, fortunately, most people have gone to see the general trend. It has slowly calmed down.

In the king's account, many generals are also discussing how to deal with this group of generals. The two factions have different opinions. Of course, Xue Ling and others hope to implement Huairou's policy. This attack on Tongguan damaged many elite soldiers and strong generals, many of whom died under these masters of the Central Plains. Of course, many generals are unwilling to kill chickens and monkeys. It's okay if those unruly people don't kill. How can these culprits be easily let go?

Xue Ling said, "Father, these Jianghu people are all famous in Daxia. Many of them are powerful, if they are killed like this. I'm afraid it will cause panic. The Huairou policies made in the past are not all in vain. Now the overall situation is not sure why it will cause adverse effects. I hope my father will think twice.

A slightly fat general said, "Sixth prince, these people slaughter my brothers and sisters. Aren't you still responsible for treating them like this? Anyway, these people don't know what's good or not. Not killing is not enough to calm down the soldiers.

“............”

The Turks frowned slightly, and no matter what they said, they never spoke. Suddenly asked, " Commander Xiao, you have contributed to the capture of Tongguan. You have the most say in this matter. Both sides have their own reasons. What do you think?

At this moment, everyone focused their eyes on Xiao Ran's face. The meaning of Turkic Khan is obvious. Neither of them wants to offend. Giving the ruling power to Xiao Ran, on the one hand, is to sell him, and there are other purposes. Hearing Khan's words, Xue Ling finally calmed down and even looked back at the rest of the people provocatively. Xiao Ranbi didn't want these old people to die. How could he be inclined to outsiders?

Xiao Ran slowly looked up and said, "I don't know if my subordinate's decision is meaningful. Can it determine their life and death?"

The Turk Khan smiled and said, "Of course there is."

Xiao Ran glanced at everyone and said slowly, "Kill!"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Turkic Khan's eyes jumped even more. Xue Ling asked loudly, "Second brother, they are all your old acquaintances. How can you..."

Xiao Ran snorted coldly, "Old knowledge? Why didn't they miss the old feelings when they planned to kill me a few days ago? If it weren't for my life, there would still be a chance to sit here now. Don't you understand the principle of revenge and resentment? He is kind and soft-hearted and can only be bullied in turn. Xue Ling's mouth moved, and finally he didn't say anything. Maybe the second brother really changed.

" Commander Xiao is indeed a person with clear kindness and resentment. I admire him! I admire it!" Everyone also knew about Xiao Ran's injury, and it was reasonable to know from the invited Lang Zhong that he was seriously injured and almost died.

The Turk Khan said, "In this case, let's do as Xiao Ran said. All the flags will be beheaded before the departure tomorrow. Strengthen the morale of our army."

In the prison, Luo Qianfeng, Ye Ningxue and others sat in the prison. Except for the fire in front of the prison, it was dark all around. In addition to the "squeak" sound made by mice, it is the sound of drops of water. They know how strong the prison is in the dark and wet place of death, and there is no possibility of escaping from prison no matter what they try.

"It seems that this time it is difficult to escape, but unfortunately I couldn't kill a few more Turk dog thieves." Luo Qianfeng Road.

"Master, will anyone come to save us?" There has always been a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

The Wudang disciple shook his head and said, "Now Tongguan has been occupied by the Turks. No one comes to take risks. It's okay to die as a teacher. It's enough. It's up to you young people, hey..."

"I heard that Xue Ling and Xiao Ran among the Turkic generals are both Han Chinese, and they will not kill us." The disciple fantasized.

Luo Qianfeng said, "Xiao Ran? He will never give up if he doesn't kill us.

"Why?" Ye Ningxue, who has never opened his mouth.

"I'm afraid most of you don't know yet. There's nothing to hide now that you're going to die. A few days ago, his predecessor Xiaoyao had selected eight innate masters to deceive Xiao Ran out and kill him with Tang Wan's life outside the Turkic barracks. It was finally destroyed by a mysterious man. Xiao Ran's life was on the line. At the beginning, he said that he would definitely break through Tongguan. Do you think he will repay virtue with resentment?

Ye Ningxue frowned and said, "So you do it privately without telling us, but I'm afraid we can't do it."

Luo Qianfeng said, "This is not my opinion alone. Now it's just for you to get ready.

The sound of the chain pulling, the head of the prison opened the outer prison door. He came in with a few big bamboo baskets.

"It smells so good~" said a disciple.

The prison head shook his head and said, "After eating this meal, it's time to go on the road tomorrow. You are all full. Don't be a starving ghost.

This person was originally the head of the prison, and he knew and admired the names of these prisoners. That's why I paid for good wine and good dishes. Originally, there was still a trace of fantasy in everyone's hearts, and they could no longer have an appetite when they heard this.

"Old man, what's going on?" One person hurriedly asked.

"This is the order from the superior. I heard that the sixth prince Xue Ling has quarreled with them for a long time. Later, Khan let Xiao Ran decide. As a result, you also know that you will eat and sleep early and go on the road tomorrow morning.

"Xiao Ran, it's really Xiao Ran. This traitor!"

"Xiao Ran, you don't want to die!"

"Why are you crying? I lost a big scar on my head, and 18 years later, I'm a hero again."

"I think grandpa..." After all, not everyone sees life and death so thoroughly.

"Amitabha." Master Yuanfang read the scriptures with his hands together.

Luo Qianfeng opened the wine jar and said, "For good, there is wine. You all have a few sips. It won't hurt so much to be beheaded. Come on, I will still be a good brother in the next life.

"Drink!"

"Papa" whispers from far to in. A man dressed in night clothes and a black veil. Suddenly appeared in front of the crowd. Without saying much, he took out a bunch of keys from his arms. Open everyone's prison door separately: "Go from the north gate, follow the mountain road, and escape quickly."

"Who is the hero? Leave your name. Thank you very much."

The man in black shook his head and said, "Remember, you can't stop the world. I can save you once, but I don't have time to save you every time.

What else do you want to say? The man in black has gone out of the prison: "Hurry up. I guess the patrol will soon be found out. I'll lead them away."

"You...you..." The delivery cell was so scared that he couldn't speak.

Luo Qianfeng didn't want to involve him and cut him on the back of his neck: "The less you know, the better."

Soon after, there was a lot of noise in the city, and the news of someone robbed the prison spread. Suddenly, a large number of people were mobilized in the city, and countless Turkic soldiers with torches searched the alleyway. Xiao Ran looked at the army mobilized in the distance and smiled sarcastically. Walking into the tent, he did see that Xue Ling was already waiting for himself in the room. There was no need to think that Xiao Ran also knew that he was here to plead guilty.

Xue Ling said, "Second brother, are you the one who robbed the prison?"

Xiao Ran did not deny or nod, and said, "What does it matter who saved them? Didn't they get out safely?"

"Then why did you put them to death?" Xue Ling was puzzled. This bend is big enough.

Xiao Ran felt that no one eavesdropped around, so he said, "Do you think the Turk Khan trusts his second brother? You're wrong. I'm just the tool they use to capture the territory, which can be abandoned at any time. You are different, you are his bloodline. Khan is testing me. Now, even if someone robs the prison, who will doubt the second brother?

"But this doesn't make them misunderstand more deeply?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "You are the person who will be the emperor in the future. Don't show anything too obvious, otherwise it will be easy to be caught. If someone sings a red face in this scene, someone must sing a black face.

"Second brother..." Xue Ling finally understood Xiao Ran's deep meaning, which was attracting the hearts of the people for him. When the people of Daxia cursed Xiao Ran, they would definitely be moved and grateful for Xue Ling's rationale. Water can carry a boat and overturn it. Xia Shuangtian should not occupy great righteousness, which makes the vassal king of Daxia separate and fall apart. There is no need to say more about the importance of public opinion. Xiao Ran is using his reputation to pave the way for him.

Xiao Ran smiled faintly and said, "What else do the brothers say? They will go to Chang'an tomorrow. Go back to rest early."

"Second brother, go to bed early, too."

Xue Ling nodded slightly, with mixed feelings in her heart. The second brother's life has been full of ups and downs. Even Xue Ling can't tell how much he has sacrificed. No one knows how much abuse you have to endure and how much torture you have to endure. People always show a calm and decisive image. Everyone just sees the surface. Who has really stood in his position and considered it?
