Chapter 257 I just want to live to protect you for the rest of my life!
"It's difficult. All I can do is to let him live a few more years. In fact, under the influence of drugs, he is no longer a real human being. Sir, do you really want to protect such a person?" asked Old Shi.
Ruan Qingqing's eyes were sore. "My family has a deep connection with General Chi. I hope that he can have a few years of comfort after a lifetime of military service."
"To be honest, if he were awake, he might not want to live. Not only is his consciousness unable to be controlled by himself, but there are also terrible intermittent pains waiting for him. It's not an exaggeration to say that life is worse than death." Old Shi reminded in a serious manner.
"I just hope that he can see the day when Yun Qing gets what he wants! Since his willpower can sustain him through these years, why not let him endure for a few more years and let him see the peaceful and prosperous world he wants!"
Ruan Qingqing said.
"Alas! Idiots, they are all idiots!"
Mr. Shi shook his head, sighed and left.
"Why can you do this for him? After all, at this critical juncture, his presence is likely to cause you a lot of trouble." Wushang stood beside her at some point.
Ruan Qingqing glanced at him and said in a resounding voice: "Because of morality, he did not despise the weakness of the people in the border town several years ago, and shouldered the responsibility of protecting them. Several years later, I can't despise him and give up on him just because he will cause trouble for me.
We are always pursuing fairness. I think first of all we should treat fairness as a sacred thing and practice it. Only then will more and more people pursue fairness in the future! Only then will there be more and more fairness in this world! "
"Your ideas are always unique!" Wu Shang praised sincerely.
"No! This is a respect for the devotees!" Ruan Qingqing took two deep breaths and said to Wushang, "Wushang, I hope you can pry open the mouths of the three golden guards within two days. I want to know how many cruel things Emperor Yunqing has done to General Chi over the years!"
"Yes!"
"And leave those three golden guards with a chance of survival. Someone should pay for General Chi's grievances!" A fierce light flashed in Ruan Qingqing's eyes. She didn't like evil people, but in front of evil people, she might as well be an even more evil person!
"Okay!" Wushang responded hoarsely.
When Ruan Qingqing was about to leave, Wu Shang stopped her, "Master, can I take care of General Chi? I..."
Wu Shang looked conflicted and contradictory.
Chase on the side crossed his arms and looked at him with a look of anticipation.
Zhang Shizhao also frowned and looked at him in confusion.
"You and he both suffered inhuman torture, so it's normal for you to sympathize with each other. Just take care of him! Just don't delay things!" Ruan Qingqing didn't have time to listen to his nagging. After giving her instructions, she returned to her room and began to think about her next plan.
Wushang stood there in a daze, feeling secretly happy for having escaped a disaster, but also a sense of inexplicable loss.
Chase snorted at him, and when he passed by him, he deliberately bumped into him, and silently said the word "coward" from his lips.
Wu Shang angrily stretched out his fist and wanted to punch his nasty face, but after glancing upstairs, he finally gave up in disappointment.
The next afternoon, Wu Shang found Ruan Qingqing. No one knew what he had been through, his beard was untidy and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Jin Wei and the others have confessed. I interrogated them separately. There shouldn't be any lies."
He spoke hoarsely.
Ruan Qingqing motioned for him to continue.
"Twenty-three years ago, after the battle at Jialing Pass, the Golden Guards who were waiting near the battlefield were the first to rush into the battlefield and took away General Chi, who was still alive at the time. This was because the alchemist next to the Emperor said that General Chi was a very good alchemy vessel."
Wu Shang closed his eyes, "After that, General Chi had an endless supply of medicine and medicinal baths, and the medicine man was about to take shape. It was because when the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were changing power in the alchemy room, he told the Emperor that the Chi Family Army should not be used unless it was absolutely necessary, and they should not be given a chance to redress their wrongdoings.
When General Chi, who still had a bit of clarity, heard this, he killed the alchemist beside him without hesitation. When he was about to go to the emperor and his son to argue, he was subdued by the golden guards hiding in the dark. The emperor wanted to cut General Chi into pieces on the spot after his best alchemist died. It was the emperor at that time who reminded him that it would be better to let him live a life worse than death than to let him die so easily.
As he spoke, Wu Shang choked up.
"They said that General Chi was proud of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and defending his country all his life. Then he must not return to his country for the rest of his life, and must stay in the enemy country to live a life neither human nor ghost, or even die in the enemy country without a complete corpse! In the end, the Dog Emperor threw General Chi into the Wolf Mountain where wolves were infested and left him to fend for himself. Unexpectedly, General Chi not only did not die in the mouths of wolves, but also tamed the wolves. When the Dog Emperor knew about this, he changed his strategy.
So he designed a wolf disaster that occurs every five years, making Bale City a natural barrier for Xiliang Pass. "
Ruan Qingqing quickly responded, "So the emperor didn't know that Xiliang Pass was controlled by the Moliang people. It's not that he couldn't visit, but he was confident that the Moliang people's army couldn't pass Xiliang Pass."
Wushang nodded.
"Then why did a wolf disaster happen again this year?" Ruan Qingqing asked puzzledly.
"Because you didn't submit to Yun Qing. The Dog Emperor had already issued an order that if you didn't submit, Bale City would be destroyed! But if you submit, they will use the power of these wolves to attack the Moliang people and eventually take over the Moliang Kingdom. It's just that because the Dog Emperor was suddenly killed by us, the Gu in his body that controlled General Chi also died. That's why General Chi's memory is confused as we saw. Before that, he lived like a puppet!"
Before he knew it, Wu Shang was in tears.
"Such a vicious emperor, but he was allowed to die too easily! No! I have to write a letter to Lord Zhou. Not only can the people of the Murong family not be allowed to become emperors, they must also be demoted to commoners, exiled to the border and not allowed to be officials for the rest of their lives!" Ruan Qingqing said angrily.
"Thank you, sir!" Wushang knelt down to express his gratitude.
"Wu Shang, what are you doing? We Mo people don't need these!" Ruan Qingqing hurriedly grabbed him.
"Master, because I am Chi Jingxiao!" Wushang said with difficulty.
Ruan Qingqing took a few steps back, her pupils suddenly shrank, and then she shook her head bitterly, "Brother Chi? Are you kidding? Brother Chi died in Xiyuguan a long time ago."
Wu Shang shook his head. "Back then, I fell into a trap and was abducted by the barbarians. They tortured me in every way they could: whipping, cutting, wolf bites, burning with branding irons, and even putting a red-hot copper mask on my head... I escaped from them with the belief that I would come back to see you one last time."
He smiled bitterly and said, "But when I actually arrived at Zaoziling, I found that I didn't have the courage to meet you, so I hid in the mountains behind Wudaoling. I didn't expect that I would be rescued by you in the end."
"Why didn't you say it later?" Ruan Qingqing asked him.
"I..." Wu Shang tilted his head, "For the rest of my life, I just want to live to protect you!"
