Warm Life - C230
Sun Ye Xuan played with the strands of hair beside her ear as she leisurely looked at Tang Li: “Boss, don’t you have confidence? If you’re really afraid of losing, I can let you have a soldier and a car, how about it? ”
Tang Li hesitated. During this period of time, his chess skills had improved at an incredible rate, just barely enough to beat Sun Ye Xuan. If he was given a soldier and a car, he might not lose to her. This woman was too arrogant. He was a prodigy in the chess world, and many of the experts were not his match. If this thing wasn’t strange, why would it be under the control of others?
“Do you really want me to have a soldier and a car?” Tang Li coldly looked at Sun Ye Xuan and said: “You were the one who made this thing. You should have let me play two chess.” Good! This boss promises you. You let me have a soldier and a car. If I win, you not only have to cook for me, but for my brothers as well. If I lose, I’ll let your family out for a breather. ”
“Three sets, two wins, or one set?” Sun Ye Xuan said.
“Three sets and two victories.” Tang Li said.
While Sun Ye Xuan and Tang Li were playing chess and gambling, Song Kuan, who had always been locked up alone, quietly escaped. He avoided all of the spies and found Sun Yuanjie and the others.
The two people at the door were knocked unconscious. Song Kuan unlocked the door and sneaked into the room.
Sun Yuanjie and the rest were all surprised when they saw Song Kuan. Song Kuan did not see Sun Ye Xuan and asked nervously, “Where’s the young miss?”
“Xuanxuan is playing chess with Tang Li.” Sun Yuanjie said, “In order to stall for time, Xuanxuan has invented something called chess. Recently, she has often played chess with him. Fortunately, Tang Li had this item, so she didn’t look for trouble with us. Otherwise, who knows what she would have done to us. Xuanxuan said that Tang Li was a vicious and cruel person and would not even let ordinary civilians off. Right now, there are many people who have been captured here. ”
Song Kuan showed a painful expression and said in disappointment, “He was not such a person in the past. Hatred blinded his eyes and made him so terrifying. No! I must wake him up! ”
Song Kuan wanted to find Tang Li, but the others hurriedly stopped him. The soldiers with Song Kuan also advised him not to alert the enemy at this critical time.
“Song Kuan, you can’t take so many of us by yourself. Rather than bringing us along to escape and be brought back here, why don’t you go down the mountain alone and find reinforcements?” Sun Yuanjie said.
“If I escape, Tang Li will quickly notice. At that time, what will happen if I bring you all away from here?” Song Kuan said worriedly, “There’s still a worse result. If he got angry and tried to kill you, wouldn’t it be even too late? I’m not leaving. If I leave, everyone will leave together. ”
“Song Kuan, right now the initiative is in the hands of others. We can’t do whatever we want.” Sun Yuanjie said, “The only thing we can do now is to listen to the will of the heavens and not mess around.”
Song Kuan was not willing to give up. The Sun family treated him well, and he knew how to repay their kindness. Naturally, he would repay this favor. Right now, if his brothers wanted to kill them, with his martial arts, if he had a way to get close to Tang Li, he would be able to deal with him. After all, Tang Li was an intelligent general whose strength was inferior to his. However, in this way, he would truly be standing opposite of Tang Li. They were not going to be enemies with him alone, but with all his brothers. Not many of the Song Kingdom’s soldiers survived, and everyone was sold as slaves. Their resentment was normal. He also resented it. It’s just that it shouldn’t hurt the innocent.
“Song Kuan, you have to make your choice.” “If you can’t bear to part with your brothers, then go back to them,” said Meng Zhixiao. If you think what they did was wrong, you should stick to your principles and help us get through this. ”
“What should I do?” Song Kuan said.
“Have you made up your mind?” Meng Zhixiao said.
“I made my choice from the beginning. The Sun family had done me a favor, so I wouldn’t be humiliated by others. How can I repay kindness with hatred? ” Song Kuan said firmly.
“That’s good. Actually, this trip to the mountain stronghold was our plan. ” Meng Zhixiao said, “These bandits have killed a lot of people and robbed a lot of wealthy merchants. We brought this mission back from the capital, but we didn’t want the news to spread like wildfire. They’re waiting for our men to come, so we can work with them from the inside out. You have two choices. One is to go down the mountain and see if they are here. If they are, then help them lead the way. Second, pretend to make up with Tang Li and then find a way to continue stalling for time. ”
“You mean …” You were captured, including us, all in one trap? Does Eldest Miss know about this? ” Song Kuan said in shock.
“I didn’t know. But I told her the other day. It is because she knows everything that she has tried to stall for time. ” Feng Zimo said.
“Do you plan to take care of these bandits in one go?” Aren’t you afraid that they will run away? ” Song Kuan said with a complicated expression.
“They can’t escape.” Feng Zimo said, “In order to deal with them, we have brought a few thousand regular soldiers from the sea. Together with us are some powerful weapons.”
“Thousands of regular soldiers?” Sun Yuanjie said in astonishment, “So, the matter of exterminating the bandits will be handed over to you two weak scholars?”
“Old Master Sun, don’t look down on us. Although we do not have the ability to lead our troops to war, we still have the ability to encircle and annihilate thousands of fleeing slaves. ” Meng Zhisu smiled brightly.
“Didn’t you guys notice that so many of you came from the sea?” Sun Yuanjie said with a puzzled expression.
“Generally speaking, very few people bring this many people from the sea. They have not noticed it yet. However, once we know about this, we won’t be able to hide it anymore. ” Meng Zhixiao said.
Song Kuan grimaced when he thought of how the Song soldiers would have to endure another massacre. He was at a loss … If they were told the news now, they could avoid death. However, the two Young Nobles of Sun family and Feng Meng would definitely not survive. What do we do now? Even when he had killed someone for the first time, he had never felt such pain.
Sun Yuanjie, Meng Zhixiao, and Feng Zimo were secretly observing Song Kuan’s expression. Song Kuan was in the midst of a battle between the gods, and they knew his pain. He should not have been told such a thing. After all, his identity was complicated. However, only Song Kuan could escape now. They needed a man to deal with the soldiers lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain. If there was no one to lead the way to this mountain stronghold, it would not be easy to attack.
“Good ~ ~!” I can help you. However … Young Master Meng, Young Master Feng, I have a presumptuous request. Song Kuan said, “If you promise me, no matter the risk, I will help you complete the mission.” If you do not agree, I will not be able to overcome my difficulties. I would rather die than destroy my own brothers myself. ”
“If you want me to release these bandits, there’s no need to talk about that.” Meng Zhixiao said with a cold expression.
“No. I am not begging you to spare Tang Li and the other masterminds. I am only begging you to spare the lives of those ordinary bandits. ” Song Kuan said, “They are just being controlled by others.”
“You can rest assured of that. At that time, when we received the mission, the arrangement we received was for the leader to kill everyone and for ordinary bandits to try their best. “After all, they are all soldiers of the Song Empire. If they were all killed, the people of the world would say that our Emperor was someone who had slaughtered people as if they were their own. That would not only hurt the people of Song, but the hearts of our citizens as well.”
“Many thanks to the two gongzis, I’ll kowtow to you on their behalf.” Song Kuan knelt down with mixed feelings. The other Song soldiers also knelt down and kowtowed.
Song Kuan left the room where they were being held. He restored everything, giving the impression that nothing had happened. He had just knocked them out behind two guards, so they had no idea what was going on. As long as they didn’t expose it, there was a high chance of them hiding it.
Tang Li and Sun Ye Xuan had finished playing their three games of chess. In the first round, Sun Ye Xuan won. In the second round, Tang Li won. The third round was really interesting. The two fought for a long time, but in the end …
Tang Li won.
Yes! Tang Li defeated Sun Ye Xuan under the condition that Sun Ye Xuan was modest and conceded a soldier and a car.
“I’ll leave all the brothers’ meals to you. Miss Sun, you can do it now.” Tang Li said proudly.
“What are you so proud of? “When I don’t need you to do that, you’ll be able to win against me. That is your true ability.” Sun Ye Xuan snorted and said: “It’s not a martial art victory.”
“You’re right.” Tang Li frowned. This Boss actually wanted you to humbly let two chess pieces go. No! This Boss must truly defeat you. ”
“When do we start cooking? How many times do you want me to do this? ” Sun Ye Xuan said in annoyance.
“Don’t say that This Boss doesn’t know how to cherish the fairer sex.” Tang Li leaned back in her chair and said, “I won’t let you do too much. It’s just two meals!”
“…” Sun Ye Xuan said unhappily: “There are hundreds of people, is there not enough?”
“I admit defeat. No one will help you then. ” Tang Li looked at Sun Ye Xuan and said, “Tsk, washing, stir-frying, it’s all your responsibility. Miss Sun, enjoy it well! ”
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let you two pieces.” Sun Ye Xuan muttered: “If you want to cook, then cook.” Do you really think you can stop me? I dare to cook, but do you dare to eat? ”
Tang Li looked at Sun Ye Xuan’s angry appearance and recalled the miserable sight of her only sister dying. His sister was a very lovely girl, with a kind heart and a simple personality. However, for the sake of worrying about his brother, such a cute girl actually ran away from home to look for him at the border. However, she had entered the battlefield by mistake and was captured by the people of this country.
When Tang Li saw her again, what he saw was her corpse. Her clothes had been torn to shreds and her white skin was covered in scratches. Her eyes were wide and frightened. At that moment, he really wanted to kill everyone in this country.
She was only a fifteen-year-old girl, so why did he want to harm her? They had their own family, too. If the people they killed were their family, would they care?
From then on, Tang Li hated the people of this country to death. He was even more resentful now that he had lost to this country, become a prisoner of war, and still wanted to be their slave.
Bang! Tang Li thought of the past and threw the chess piece in her hands out. He slapped the table savagely, bellowing, “Ah!”
