Chapter two hundred and seventy-ninth fear of death
No matter what Gu Qingfeng's true identity is, for Chen Qiao, he can only think so.
Because only in this way can the impact of his fault this time be minimized.
If it was not the robbers who threatened him behind his back, but the people from the Qingyang Empire, then the purpose of the other party's military preparation would be more intriguing.
Anyway, it will never be good news.
Once his failure on the front battlefield is caused by his failure, he does not know whether he will become a sinner for the ages, but it is certain to go to the military court.
The reason why he thinks this is because he doesn't want to die yet.
To put it bluntly, Chen Qiao was ready to surrender the moment she was threatened.
Dedication is one thing. When he is in the granary and thinks he is safe, Chen Qiao will not neglect his duties. He will perform his duties seriously. He will consider his empire.
Whether it is a civilian riot or a sudden riot that arose behind, Chen Qiao can deal with it with a normal mind.
Because he knew very well that at that time he was safe and that he put the interests of the empire first in the face of his life.
But when his life was threatened, his position changed.
If you have no life, what else can you talk about the interests of the empire?
There is a reason why Chen Qiao would be sent to guard the granary.
With his always calm mind and outstanding wisdom, he should have been valued, but it is precisely because he always puts his safety first that he missed a lot of fighter opportunities, so he can only be a middle- and low-level general until now.
What he is considering now is his own safety.
"Can you guarantee that after I do what you said, you really... won't kill me?"
Chen Qiao had already made a decision in his heart, and he asked Gu Qingfeng again with concern.
"snort!"
Gu Qingfeng snorted coldly, but loosened the dagger in his hand. Chen 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 said, you will die. If you do it, you will still have a glimmer of life!"
Chen Qiao was silent. The other party’s promises were not much different from not saying anything, but as the other party said, does he have any choice?
In addition, he also knew that if he did what the other party said, he might not have to die.
What the other party wants is a total of ten thousand sets of arms, which is not something that can be taken away just by saying a word.
There are all kinds of details, how to arrange, where to send, and how to hand over. There are all kinds of things that require someone to be responsible for the dispatch.
Kill him, Gu Qingfeng ordered the Zhu Yan soldiers to carry supplies by himself?
It is impossible to think about it.
So Chen Qiao is very convinced that although the other party did not make a definite guarantee, he would never touch him for a while.
"good!"
Chen Qiao smiled bitterly and said, "I believe you once, I hope you don't break your promise!"
As the two talked, as Gu Qingfeng said, the noise on the second floor gradually calmed down due to the influx of soldiers on the first floor.
After waiting for a while, many people had retreated from the second floor, and there were many soldiers who were already guarding the second floor. Compared to those who went up, their appearance was much worse. Many people had blood on their faces and bodies, and it was obvious that they had suffered serious injuries.
Gu Qingfeng and Chen Qiao also walked out of the corner at this time.
It was only then that Gu Qingfeng had already put on clothes that were consistent with the defenders in the granary. He thought that when he sneaked in, he took them from the dormitory where the soldiers were resting.
Chen Qiao did not dare to look back until now, even though Gu Qingfeng had already put the dagger away and did not put it on his neck again.
"grown ups!"
A soldier came down from the second floor and saw Chen Qiao immediately. He hurriedly walked a few steps and ran closer. Before kneeling on one knee to report, he looked at Gu Qingfeng in confusion.
But seeing Chen Qiao's expression as usual, he even urged to ask, "What's the situation above?"
He stopped thinking about it and answered truthfully: "Sir, there are not many outsiders entering the building. As soon as we brothers got up, they scared those people away. How many are there..."
He paused, and obviously saw that his head was buried lower again, and he said dryly: "My subordinates... didn't see clearly."
"snort!"
Chen Qiao snorted heavily, but she was just pretending to behave. After thinking for a while, she said, "That's enough, there are civilians outside, Chen Chong, if you take people to suppress them, you can't kill a few more people who take the lead, and they must not make trouble again!"
Although Gu Qingfeng's dagger was removed from his neck, it was still pressed against his back at this time. It would be strange if Chen Qiao was in a good mood. The orders he issued were no longer as gentle as before. He just kept the granary and then did it. Instead, he had to use iron-blooded means to forcibly suppress the riots of the civilians outside.
So what if there are more than 400,000 people?
Apart from the elderly, weak, women and children, the majority of the people who can do it must be reduced, and they are all unarmed. How can they beat fully armed soldiers?
Kill a few and beat the civilians to fear, the farce will naturally end, and then he can save his life.
The soldier kneeling on the ground on one knee was Chen Chong, who was Chen Qiao's confidant follower. When he heard Chen Qiao's order, he hesitated at all. He nodded immediately and responded to his order. Then he waved his hand and led many subordinates to run towards the door of the granary with a fierce move.
"Li Hui!"
After transferring Chen Chong, Chen Qiao looked at another confidant and ordered: "You can find a few people who are quick to deal with and prepare ten thousand sets of arms for Dongping City."
"Military uniforms, equipment, saddles, etc. must be all available!"
This order made Li Hui, who was bent over there, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Chen Qiao in confusion.
Prepare for arms?
What is this related to the current situation?
He was a little confused.
Chen Qiao would not explain to him, and even more, he felt the dagger on his back gently handing forward, and immediately glared at him, "Why don't you go!"
"This is!"
After all, Chen Qiao is the commander here. Although Li Hui has some doubts, he must obey the order first.
Then he led a few subordinates to the warehouse to prepare the Dongping City armament requested by Chen Qiao.
"Why are you still being stunned here?"
There were still many soldiers gathered next to Shen Qiao, but he waved his hand: "Will help wherever you should go, don't stick it like a wood!"
The conscience of heaven and earth, Chen Qiao was unwilling to do this order, but the dagger behind him was always restlessly tapping on him. He was so clear that he didn't know that Gu Qingfeng was giving him instructions through the dagger to dismiss these soldiers.
