Long Tianyu and Xiahou Ying respectively changed into tattered clothes. When they arrived at the house, the sky was already bright.
Xiahou Ying felt that the Commander beside him was really unfathomable when it came to his every action and behavior. No hero in the world could compare to him, and he couldn't help but feel gratified that he could follow the enlightened leader.
Long Tianyu obviously did not know what he was thinking about. He arrived at the gate and called out: "The house is quiet, is there anyone living here?" After a while, an old woman who looked to be seventy years old opened the door and walked out. She said in the sun, "Where is the quiet place when the world is in chaos?"
Long Tianyu was secretly amused, thinking that if he did not say something like that, he would not come out. At once, he politely said, "We were born in troubled times, so we were helpless. My brother and I came all the way here, and we are extremely thirsty. Can we ask the elders for a bowl of water? We haven't eaten for a day. Can we give some taro to fill our hunger?"
The old woman let out a sigh, turned around, and entered the house. After a while, she brought a bowl of water and three pieces of taro to the two of them and said, "Eat quickly. If it is not enough, there is still some left in the house."
Long Tianyu placed the taro into Xiahou Ying's embrace, he then took up the water himself and drank it all, praising: "I don't usually feel it, but today I taste how water is so mellow, a pity that a bowl of water can only quench my thirst for a moment, but not the worries of my life. I want to ask the elder, if one is thirsty, and drinks water at the same time, how do I resolve it?"
The Chi-ma snorted: "The King of Qin has fallen out of power and buried himself in the well. Even so, no one truly understands love and talent like thirst. If they want to solve their problems, they have to dig the well themselves."
Long Tianyu nodded his head: "Old man is right, now that the imperial government is going overboard, the officials are forcing the citizens to rebel, causing the rebel army to rise up, the troops are in chaos, last night we attacked the city, why isn't Auntie hiding with her relatives, and still living alone?"
Chi-ma straightened her back and said: "If the rebel army truly wanted to overthrow the tyrant, they will save the people and not disturb the people. Otherwise, how would they be different from bandits? Hmph, my unfilial son, unable to tell the world's situation clearly, blindly loyal to Emperor Two, forget it! It's fine if you don't want to talk about it! "
Long Tianyu shook his head, and took the taro from Xiahou Ying's chest to praise him: "In these chaotic years, there were enough people to take care of the rations and the people who passed by. It can be seen how benevolent they were, but the three taro can only feed the two of us, not the millions of hungry people who lived under the Qin's rule and were displaced by the people of the world. Since they were saved by the people of the world, and since I am so wise, why do I have to let the filial filial children help the tyrants, to defend Qin Creek, to be scolded by the people of the world.
"To be honest, I am the leader of the Pei County's allied army, Long Tianyu. This brother of mine is a loyal general, he had abandoned the Pengcheng and attacked the Yang County for the sake of both the citizens and the Chi-ma, he wanted to know what kind of person the old man is, if you do not understand the logic behind the situation, he has already left and led the army to rescue the citizens under the tyrannical rule of the. Today, I have come to see the old man, Tian Yu rejoiced for the fact that Ji Xin has such a righteous mother, and I am happy for the over one hundred thousand citizens of the Pengcheng!"
Hearing that, the old lady's face changed, but then she laughed: "What a scheming child, he truly does have the demeanor of a general, no wonder he dares to beat around the bush and speak so many things to an old lady like me, he actually tricked the old lady into going to the Pengcheng as a lobbyist! "Alas, for the sake of that unfilial son not to be scolded by his descendants and for the sake of those people who have suffered, this old woman will accept your love. If my son continues to be ignorant, there will never be a mother like him in this world!"
Long Tianyu bowed respectfully: "This way, Tian Yu thanks the citizens of Pengcheng for their righteousness, I ask the old lady to pack her bags, we will set out early in the morning, how about it?"
The old lady nodded her head and did not speak further, she turned and went back inside the house to pack her bags. After a while, she left the house, Long Tianyu and Xiahou Ying had already returned to their usual attire, donned in their armor, and formed a formation to welcome them. The Chi-ma smiled slightly, and sat in the carriage.
In the past few days, he had been bored to death, he did not dare to go against the orders and speed up his journey. He could only follow the army for six hours each day, and during the rest of the time, besides training and sleeping, only after seeing that Long Tianyu had learnt of the situation did the anger dissipate.
The large army arrived at the Pengcheng two days later, where Long Tianyu, Xiao He, Guan Ying, Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo and the other generals were all gathered to discuss the latest military news. He decided that Cao Can, Guan Ying, Lu Sheng and the others would lead the fifty thousand troops to train outside the city and camp outside the city. Long Tianyu would lead Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai and the others and lead twenty thousand soldiers to gather under the Pengcheng.
When Ji Xin heard that his mother had been captured by the rebel army, he was extremely worried. When he found out that his mother had safely been sent into the city, he was extremely happy and personally welcomed her on her knees.
Ji Xin was overjoyed: "Mother! The allied army didn't make things difficult for you, right? "
"Pah!" Chi-ma slapped Ji Xin on his face and said angrily: "Without a son like you, what use is it for me to not read everything properly? I am ashamed of my ancestors of the Ji Family, to think that there would be such a dog son who is unclear about the circumstances of the world! "
Ji Xin was so anxious that he started to cry, and said: "Mother, don't scare me, did the rebel army say anything to you?" The two vice generals Zhou Ke and Fir were helpless as well, they did not know how to advise against this.
Ji Xin was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed continuously. Chi-ma could not bear it anymore and asked, "Do you know why there are rebel soldiers fighting against Qin?" Ji Xin looked at Zhou Ke and the Fir for a while, and then answered while trembling in fear: "It was caused by an official forcing the people to rebel, and the imperial government falling out of control."
Chi-ma's heart became cold: "West Qin has unified the six nations for dozens of years, and the citizens do not care what country they used to be, as long as they live happily and live a good life, the citizens of any country are not important. Unfortunately, the King of Qin is a tyrant, and many wars have broken out, causing the citizens to not be able to live. On behalf of the heavens, it's fine if you don't want to help, but you're hindering the allied army. Even the citizens of the city have left one after another.
Ji Xin was somewhat ashamed, and said excitedly: "Mother! Son … I know I was wrong! "
The Chi-ma sighed: "The Pei County's rebel army is lined up under the city, worrying about the suffering of the citizens in the city, opening up a path for the refugees to escape, and worried that you would be loyal to a man who died for nothing. You will take down the Dang Prefecture in the middle of the night, and the leader of the allied army would pay a visit to this old woman regardless of his status. I am afraid that if you continue to be scolded by the people of this world, you will become a sinner and feel pity for the talented ones. I am truly ashamed! "
Ji Xin, Zhou Ke and the others heard the Old Mistress talk to Long Tianyu again, and all the generals felt guilty, and felt endless admiration for the Dragon General.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the envoy hurriedly took out the letter and handed it over to Ji Xin, saying: "This is a letter from my Army Commander to General Ji. He greatly appreciates General Ji's loyalty and filial piety.
Hearing that the other party was looking at him with such importance, Ji Xin felt grateful in his heart. The words in the book were impassioned, pointing to the crux of the matter and criticizing the Great Qin for gains and losses, as well as for her own destruction. He then looked at his mother, Yan Ci, and made a decision. He shouted, "Pass down the order, the entire army will abandon their weapons and surrender. Open the gate, and prepare to welcome the rebel army into the city!"
