The Era of Generals

Chapter 280   Fear of Death

No matter what Gu Qingfeng's true identity is, for Shen Qiao now, he can only think so.

Because only in this way, the impact of his mistake this time will be minimized.

If it was not the robbers who were holding him back, but people from the Qingyang Empire, then the purpose of the other party's armament would be more intriguing.

In short, it will never be good news.

Once the defeat on his side leads to a defeat on the frontal battlefield, he doesn't know whether he will become a sinner through the ages, but going to a military court is a certainty.

The reason why he thinks this way is because he doesn't want to die yet.

To put it bluntly, Shen Qiao was ready to surrender the moment she was kidnapped.

Duty is one thing. When he is in the granary and thinks that he is safe, Shen Qiao will not neglect his duty. He will perform his duty very seriously, and he will consider his empire in every way he thinks.

Whether it was a civilian riot or a sudden riot later on, Shen Qiao could deal with it with a normal heart.

Because he knew very well that he was safe at that time, and with his life safe, he put the interests of the empire first.

But when his life was threatened, the stance changed.

Life is gone, what are you talking about the interests of the empire?

It is not without reason that Shen Qiao was sent to guard the granary.

With his always calm mind and outstanding intelligence, he should have been reused, but it was precisely because he always put his own safety first that he missed a lot of opportunities. Now it can only be a low-level general.

The only thing he can think about now is his own safety.

"Can you guarantee that after I do what you say, you really... won't kill me?"

Shen Qiao had already made a decision in his heart, so he asked Gu Qingfeng again worriedly.

"snort!"

Gu Qingfeng snorted coldly, but loosened the dagger in his hand, Shen Qiao's response made him very satisfied.

The voice was still cold, and said: "You can try it, if you don't do what I say, you will definitely die, if you do, you can still have a chance!"

Shen Qiao was silent, the other party's promise was not much different from not saying anything, but as the other party said, does he have any other choice?

In addition, he also knew that in fact, if he did what the other party said, maybe he really didn't have to die.

What the other party wanted was a total of 10,000 sets of armaments. This was not just a word, just take it away.

All kinds of details, how to deploy, where to send, how to hand over, all kinds of things need someone to be in charge of scheduling.

After killing him, Gu Qingfeng ordered those Zhu Yan soldiers to carry supplies by himself?

It is also impossible to think.

Therefore, Shen Qiao believed that although the other party did not make a firm guarantee, they would definitely not touch him in the short term.

"good!"

Shen Qiao smiled wryly, and said, "I'll just believe you once, and I hope you won't break your promise!"

While the two were talking, as Gu Qingfeng said, the noise on the second floor gradually subsided due to the influx of soldiers on the first floor.

After waiting for a while, many people had withdrawn from the second floor, including some soldiers who had been guarding the second floor. Compared with those who went up later, their appearance was much worse. They were all covered with blood, and it could be seen that they had suffered serious injuries.

Gu Qingfeng and Shen Qiao also came out from the corner at this time.

It was only now that Gu Qingfeng had already put on the same clothes as those of the defenders in the granary. He presumably took them from the dormitory where the soldiers were resting when he sneaked in.

Shen Qiao didn't dare to look behind her until now, even though Gu Qingfeng had put away the dagger and didn't put it on his neck again.

"grown ups!"

A soldier came down from the second floor and immediately saw Shen Qiao. He quickly walked a few steps towards him, and before he knelt down on one knee to report, he looked at Gu Qingfeng suspiciously.

But seeing that Shen Qiao's expression was normal, she even urged, "How's the situation above?"

He stopped thinking about it, and replied truthfully: "My lord, there are not many outsiders entering the upstairs, and our brothers frightened them away as soon as we went up, how many..."

He paused, and obviously saw that his head was buried even lower, and said dryly, "Subordinates... didn't see it clearly."

"snort!"

Shen Qiao let out a heavy snort, but she was just pretending, she thought for a while and said, "That's all, there are civilians outside, Chen Zhong, you take people to suppress, if you can't, just kill a few more leaders , be sure not to allow them to make trouble again!"

Although it is true that Gu Qingfeng's dagger was removed from his neck, it was still on his back at this moment. Being held hostage like this, it is no wonder that Shen Qiao's mood improved, and the orders he gave were no longer there. As gentle as before, it is enough to just guard the granary, but to use iron and blood methods to forcibly suppress the riots of the civilians outside.

What about more than 400,000 people?

Excluding the old, the weak, women and children, most of the people who can really fight have to be subtracted, and all of them are unarmed. How can they beat heavily armed soldiers?

Kill a few, beat the civilians until they are scared, this farce will naturally end, and then he can save his life.

The soldier kneeling on the ground on one knee was Chen Zhong, Shen Qiao's confidant and entourage. When he heard Shen Qiao's order, he didn't hesitate at all. Run to the door of the granary.

"Li Hui!"

After Chen Zhong was transferred away, Shen Qiao looked at another of her confidantes and said, "Find some quick-witted people and go prepare 10,000 sets of military equipment for Dongping City."

"Military uniforms, equipment, saddles, etc., you must have all of them, and you must have them all!"

This order stunned Li Hui, who bowed to the order, and looked at Shen Qiao in doubt.

Prepare for armament?

How does this relate to the current situation?

He couldn't figure it out.

How could Shen Qiao explain to him, and even felt the dagger on his back gently moved forward, and immediately glared at him, "Hurry up!"

"This is!"

After all, Shen Qiao is the commander here, although Li Hui has some doubts, he has to obey the order first.

Immediately, he led a few subordinates to the warehouse and began to prepare the Dongping City armament that Shen Qiao requested.

"What are you still doing here?"

Many other soldiers gathered beside Shen Qiao, but he waved his hand, "Where should I go to help? Don't stick around like a log!"

The conscience of heaven and earth, Shen Qiao is unwilling to give this order out of ten thousand, but the dagger behind his back is always pointing and pointing restlessly on his body, how can he not understand with a clear mind, this is Gu Qingfeng passing through Dagger was giving him instructions to dismiss these soldiers.

Not long after, there was only one person left beside Shen Qiao, Gu Qingfeng.
