Chapter 711

Ziying's words left Tang Yin speechless.TXT download.

He looked at Ziying in disbelief, wondering how someone who was usually docile in front of him suddenly became so tough. Could it be that he was too kind to him, so that his courage gradually grew?

Tang Yin felt depressed and said coldly: "These soldiers cannot be killed!"

Ziying said without flinching: "Those who violate military discipline should be punished according to military law. This is the king's promise yesterday."

Tang Yin didn't make any promises, but it was true that there was acquiescence. Ziying clung to this point, and there was really nothing he could do about Ziying. Tang Yin's anger was pent up in his chest, with nowhere to vent it, and his expression became uncertain.

After a long while, he sighed softly and said in a low voice: "There are exceptions for everything, Ziying, just give me a face this time and let them go. If someone is found to have violated military discipline next time, no matter what If you want to kill or chop me into pieces, I will never be so shameless as to plead for mercy.”

As a monarch, it was the most extreme thing to say. Even Qiu Zhen was a little shaken and secretly considered whether to spare these soldiers first.

But Ziying was prepared to be tough to the end. He straightened his face and said: "The state has national laws and families have family rules. If you don't follow the laws, how can you obey the people? If the king is a coward, the ministers have nothing to say, but the king is a wise master with great ambitions. How can he tolerate these few hundred people?" How can it be that if you destroy the military rules and regulations of our army by sacrificing the lives of our soldiers, you will lose something big because of small things?”

"This..." Tang Yin blushed at what he said and was speechless again.

Fearing that Tang Yin would not let go, Ziying shouted in a deep voice: "Where is the swordsman and axe?"

"The villain is here!"

Hundreds of swordsmen and axemen in red uniforms responded.

Ziying took a deep breath and said: "The king has personally come to supervise the execution of these lawless soldiers and generals, and they will be executed immediately!"

"I have the order!" The executioners all moved forward, walked behind the kneeling Feng soldiers and Feng generals, raised the ghost-headed swords in their arms high, and made a gesture to chop them down.

Tang Yinhu's eyes widened and he shouted loudly: "Stop!"

He was the king, but he would not allow executions, and the executioners did not dare to strike at will. People stood there, looking at Tang Yin and then at Ziying, not knowing what to do.

At this time, several soldiers in the crowd cried out, trembling and wailing: "My king, spare my life! I have been following the king since Pingyuan County, driving away barbarians, killing Ning bandits, and fighting in the north and south. There is no credit, but there is hard work. Please, Your Majesty, be merciful and spare this villain’s life..."

Listening to the cries of the soldiers below, Tang Yin felt uncomfortable. There were indeed many soldiers in the direct army who were born in Pingyuan County and were the first to follow him. If he died in a vigorous battle on the battlefield, Tang Yin would have nothing to say, but if he was so cowardly, How could he bear to have a coward beheaded?

Tang Yin turned his head and looked directly at Ziying, and said seriously: "I have already said that these soldiers cannot be killed! This is not a request, but an order!"

Ziying bowed his hands and saluted, and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It is hard for me to obey my orders!"

Tang Yin's lungs were almost bursting with anger. Without thinking, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Ziying's collar. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Ziying, do you dare to disobey me?"

"I am devoted to the country and the king, and I am confident that I have done nothing wrong. If the king feels that I have made a mistake, I can be punished with death now!"

"Do you think I, the king, dare not kill you?" Tang Yin held on to Ziying's collar and pulled out the sword from Shangguan Yuanwu's waist behind him. He raised his arm and pointed the sword's edge directly at Ziying's neck.

Seeing this, everyone around them was frightened. Qiu Zhen reacted the fastest, taking three steps into two steps, rushed to Tang Yin, and grabbed his sword-holding arm.

Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi also stepped forward and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down. General Ziying did not intend to disobey orders..." At this time, they no longer dared to be cowards, although they had been playing tricks on each other. Ying is a spearman, but it doesn't mean that the two of them don't care about Ziying's life or death. To put it another way, if Ziying dies, who will say what they want to say for them in the future?

Not only Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muqing, and Liang Qi begged for mercy, but other generals also knelt down and said in unison: "Please calm down your anger!"

All the generals present, without exception, interceded for Ziying, but Ziying was resolute and would rather die than kill the officers and soldiers directly under him who violated military discipline. At this moment, the situation on the field became deadlocked.

The king refuses to kill him, but Ziying insists on killing him. What should he do? Qiu Zhen, who was so resourceful, had no idea at this time, and he did not expect that things would develop to this point. After thinking about it, his eyes flashed, he turned his head and winked secretly at Cheng Jin, making a killing gesture at the same time.

Cheng Jin has a rigid personality, but his mind is extremely sharp. Seeing Qiu Zhen's actions, he immediately understood what he meant. Cheng Jin secretly grinned, it seemed that the blame for today had to be taken by Hidden Arrow, otherwise the king would not be able to step down and Ziying would not be able to save his life. Thinking of this, he sent out a signal to his men.

Silently, more than a hundred secret arrow personnel wearing black brocade clothes and black outer cloaks walked out from the onlookers of the Feng Army. When they arrived at the venue, everyone drew out their sabers in unison and faced the direct army officers and soldiers who were kneeling on the ground. dead hand.

There was a muffled sound of thumping and thumping in the ear. Hundreds of soldiers directly under the army, no one was spared, and all of them fell to the ground.

Wow - this sudden change caused an uproar inside and outside the stadium. Not only the generals and the soldiers below were shocked, but even Tang Yin was shocked. Looking at the corpses and severed heads on the ground, for a moment, Tang Yin's eyes Turning red, he pushed away Ziying, glared at Cheng Jin, and asked sternly: "Cheng Jin, what are you doing?"

Before he could finish his words, Cheng Jin knelt down with a plop, kowtowed forward, and bravely said: "Your Majesty has a destiny. To target lawless ministers and soldiers with secret arrows, they can be captured first and then reported. If the evidence of guilt is confirmed, they can be killed first and then reported." . These officers and men of the direct army are hiding money, which is against military regulations. Therefore, I dare to order my subordinates to kill them!"

Unexpectedly, even Cheng Jin, whom he trusted the most, sided with Ziying, and even did it more simply and decisively than Ziying, killing people directly for him! Tang Yin's head was buzzing with anger, and stars were appearing in front of his eyes. He pointed at Cheng Jin who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a concentrated voice: "You...you..."

He was too angry to speak.

Of course Cheng Jin knew that Tang Yin always liked the soldiers below him. This time he killed hundreds of people at once, which touched the heart of the king. He was afraid that he would not die well. He did not dare to get up, and he did not dare to raise his head when he knocked it on the ground. He said in a loud voice: "I have failed the king's great hope and asked the king to punish me."

Tang Yin's body trembled, and with a violent shake of his arm, the sword came out of his hand, spinning in the air, and stabbed the ground in front of Cheng Jin with a bang. He said angrily: "Don't you want to apologize? Then commit suicide. !”

To ask Cheng Jin, who was usually so trusted and loved by him, to commit suicide showed how angry Tang Yin was at this time.

Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment, and then without saying a word, he drew out the sword that was stabbed in front of him and wiped it away from his neck with his hand.

He was faster, but Tang Yin was faster. The latter ducked in front of him, raised his leg and kicked the sword out of his hand. Before Cheng Jin could recover, he followed up with another kick. After kicking Cheng Jin in the stomach, the latter's body almost flew out sideways.

Without even looking at Cheng Jin who had been kicked out so far, Tang Yin looked around at everyone and said word by word: "Don't think that because the king values ​​you and trusts you, he can't live without you, so he can bully me to the top of his head. Come on, I can tell you that it’s the same without any of you. Even if I’m the only one left, I can still destroy Ning!” After saying this, Tang Yin, who was about to go crazy with anger, turned around and walked out without leaving. After a few steps, he shouted again: "Qiu Zhen!"

I have always thought that the king is used to keeping his emotions and anger hidden, and it is rare to see the king lose such a temper. When Qiu Zhen heard Tang Yin call his name, he was so frightened that he shrank his neck and trotted after him. Behind Tang Yin, he cupped his hands and saluted: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Bury these soldiers generously and reward their families according to their deaths. In addition..." Tang Yin clenched his fists tightly. His shoulders were shaking, probably because of excessive force. He almost squeezed out a sentence through his teeth. : "Reward Ziying and Cheng Jin heavily, and post notices to warn all officers and men in the army that anyone found to have violated military discipline in the future will be punished according to military law, and rape will never be tolerated!"

Tang Yin was angry and hateful, and wanted to put Ziying and Cheng Jin to death, but they had already been killed. This was the result, what else could he do? We can only make the best use of this result to prevent similar things from happening in the future. The big reward for Ziying and Cheng Jin is for the whole army to see.

He is now angry, but he has not lost his mind yet.

After Qiu Zhen heard what he said, he let out a long breath and said, "Your Majesty, Shengming!"

Tang Yin continued: "The Sky Eagle Army is not suitable to go south. Let's go to the Sanshui Army instead. Ziying is not suitable to be the commander of the Sky Eagle Army anymore. Let him go home and rest, and by the way, think about how he should behave."

Qiu Zhen's newly born joy was instantly wiped out, and his jaw almost dropped. Is the king going to... want to remove Ziying from his position? Qiu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses. He trembled with anger and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, you must not..."

Tang Yin did not give Qiu Zhen a chance to speak, and said calmly without any ups and downs in his tone: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me."

well! Looking at Tang Yin, whose face was frighteningly gloomy, Qiu Zhen swallowed the words that were on his lips again. It seems that Ziying was really harmed by people like herself this time...

It was the intention of Qiu Zhen and all the other generals to severely punish the officers and soldiers who violated military disciplines. It was the idea of ​​all of them to conduct random inspections of the military camps of the direct-affiliated army overnight. It was also the decision of all of them to punish the officers and soldiers of the direct-affiliated army who violated military laws. They just needed to Someone took the lead, and after much deliberation, they agreed that Ziying, who was loyal and upright, was the most suitable person.

It's good now that Tang Yin vented all his anger and resentment on Ziying. How can Qiu Zhen feel good about this?
