C23 taking the common people as thought (1/2)
It had already been more than two months since he had parted ways with Fu Donghao. Along the way, Wei Yutian had seen a lot of refugees, but he did not meet any bandit s. However, every time he encountered a refugee, he could not help but feel deeply guilty.
Although he did not know the location of the Jinnan, he still knew how to move his mouth to ask. As long as he headed in the right direction, he believed that there would be a time when he would reach Jinnan.
Along the way, Wei Yutian learnt from how the General Guo protected him before, and looked around for fruits to fill his stomach. Fortunately, he had strong martial arts and it was not difficult to find some fruits. He could still eat his fill with every meal.
One day, while Wei Yutian was eating some fruits on the hillside, suddenly, twenty odd of the defeated soldiers appeared. They also looked like they hadn't eaten in a long time, and they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.
”Hand over all your food.” The leader of the group raised his saber to threaten him.
Wei Yutian looked at the state the Soldiers was in, and knew that if there was no war, these people would not have ended up in such a state.
The general swallowed his saliva. Although he was forced to snatch the food, he could not afford to care that much in order to survive.
”Thank you, thank you. We haven't eaten in days.” Seeing that Wei Yutian was so easy-going, the general did not know how to be unyielding anymore.
Everyone got a bit and quickly ate it.
”It seems like it's not enough. I'll go pick some more for everyone. Everyone, please wait for a moment.” After Wei Yutian finished speaking, he walked up the mountain.
No one objected. Instead, they looked at Wei Yutian's leaving figure with extreme desire.
”General, this man is so easy to talk to and seems to be in high spirits. Let's just include him in our team. ”On the way there, someone ordered us to do so.” A soldier said to the general.
The rest of the soldiers also nodded in agreement.
”It's not certain whether this person will return, but if he does, then it's possible to do so.” If we keep absorbing refugees along the way, then we won't be afraid even if the enemy catches up with us. After we return home, we can also report this to the higher-ups. ” said the general.
After a moment, Wei Yutian brought back a bunch of fruits with his tattered clothes.
After everyone finished eating and had some energy, Wei Yutian prepared to continue his journey.
At this time, the general immediately spoke and stopped Wei Yutian.
”This young lad, I am Northern Huai Country's Vanguard General Chen Xiangyuan. Although we lost the battle, but after we return, we will definitely make a comeback. You look strong and strong. If you can join our team, I can guarantee that you'll be able to accomplish great things on the battlefield! ”
How could he agree to follow Chen Xiangyuan and join the army? He then said with a smile: ”General, I'm really sorry, I still have something else.”
Chen Xiangyuan's temper was irritable, and he had an extremely good face, so he was extremely displeased when Wei Yutian rejected him immediately.
”I am a vanguard general after all. You can either join me today or die here.” Chen Xiangyuan said unhappily.
Wei Yutian did not understand, he had just given his food and he was actually going to kill him. However, he did not panic. He said very calmly, ”I gave you food just now, and now you want to repay me with kindness with enmity. What kind of logic is this?”
”Hahaha …” What kind of logic was this? I make sense. Only the strong and the victors have the right to speak reason. I'll give you two options. Join me or die. ” Chen Xiangyuan laughed.
”Since that's the case, I'll let you see who's the strongest and who's the victor.” Wei Yutian said in a domineering manner.
Chen Xiangyuan flew into a rage. How could he have thought that Wei Yutian's attitude would be so unyielding? He raised the big blade in his hand, and was about to slash at Wei Yutian.
Wei Yutian's hands were quick, he flicked his finger on the blade that was coming at him.
”Bang!” The blade broke with a crack. All of a sudden, all the soldiers and Chen Xiangyuan were dumbstruck. How fast and powerful was this?
Chen Xiangyuan had never received such an insult before, how could he accept it? He immediately threw the broken blade in his hand to the side, then raised his arm, and quickly waved it towards Wei Yutian.
Wei Yutian did not try to dodge at all, and in fact, did not even plan to retaliate at all. He had only released his majestic internal energy, after which he only saw Chen Xiangyuan's fist being frozen in mid air in an instant.
Chen Xiangyuan wanted to retract his hand and attack again, but he found that his entire body had been locked down, and became flustered. He said, ”Don't just stand there and watch, kill him for me.”
