There was silence all around, and everyone waited with bated breath for Gu Zhengyang's decision. ???
Gu Zhengyang didn't even look at the sword at his feet and said calmly: "I won't kill you."
Zhao Lie coughed violently several more times, vomiting out pieces of almost solidified blood, and finally stood up shakily, stared at Gu Zhengyang with a complicated expression for a while, and walked out without looking back.
"Zhao Lie, you can still stay in Taiping City Walled City and continue to be your exploration captain."
Gu Zhengyang shouted, "No one will drive you away.
You are indeed a very qualified exploration captain!"
Zhao Lie turned a deaf ear and staggered forward.
When he walked outside the armored chariot, he looked at the wounded soldiers all over the ground far and near, and suddenly asked: "Village chief, after the fierce battle last night, there were many wounded soldiers left behind.
In addition to our In addition to the people, there are also people from other villages who have no time to take away these people.
How are you going to deal with them and kill them all?
" Gu Zhengyang was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "You know, I won't kill them.
I'll just throw them over to the red line."
Zhao Lie smiled and continued to ask: "You won't kill the old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children in other villages?"
Gu Zhengyang still shook his head: "Of course I will not kill women and children."
Zhao Lie's eyes became sharp again: "Even if these women and children participated in last night's battle and killed our soldiers?"
Gu Zhengyang hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said: "As I said just now, a sudden attack is too risky.
Now I just want to take my brothers and supplies back to Taiping Walled City as soon as possible."
"Haha, hahahaha!"
Zhao Lie suddenly raised his head and laughed.
The laughter was both shrill and tragic.
He turned around and pointed at Gu Zhengyang's nose and said: "Village Chief, do you think it is a benevolent act for you not to kill these defeated soldiers and their wives and children with your own hands?"
,Yes or no?
"As everyone knows, these seriously injured people, without adequate medical treatment and a large amount of food to recover, are still dying!
"And without the protection of these young and middle-aged people, how can the old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children survive in this evil land?
They will either starve to death or be enslaved by gangs and other large villages and become slave soldiers.
He and a prostitute would end up worse than death!
"Hmph, killing them with one knife now gives them a happy life, but your 'act of benevolence' is to cut them into pieces with a thousand knifes, torture them slowly, and suffer a hundred times more pain than death!
"Have you really never thought about this?
Or are you just insisting on some boring morality and don't want your hands to be stained with blood?
"It's useless.
In this evil land, your and my hands have long been stained with the blood of countless old, weak, women and children.
No matter how we wash them, we can't get them clean!"
Gu Zhengyang was not knocked down by Zhao Lie's bloody claws just now, but now his internal organs seemed to be severely injured by his words.
He groaned and turned pale.
"You let me go today.
From my own point of view, of course I should thank you for letting me go."
Zhao Lie said word by word, extremely sinisterly, "However, from the perspective of Taiping City Walled City, it proves that you are an indecisive, timid, and wavering coward.
People like you are not qualified to be Taiping City Walled City."
The village chief cannot protect so many people, no matter how strong you are!
"Let me ask you one last time, the knife is right at your feet, and my neck is right here.
To kill or not to kill?"
Gu Zhengyang clenched his teeth tightly, with veins popping out on his forehead.
After struggling for a long time, he still spit out one word as hard as iron: "Get out!"
"You'll regret it."
After saying this, Zhao Lie walked out step by step without looking back, like an eagle with broken wings.

Zhao Chong stared dumbfounded for a long time, stared at Gu Zhengyang and Han Te with great hatred, stamped his feet fiercely, chased after him, and supported his father.
The two father and son leaned on each other and disappeared into the dust and ruins.
Many villagers hesitated to speak, but Gu Zhengyang waved his hand to stop him: "Stop saying anything, bandage the wounded, gather supplies, and return to Taiping Walled City as quickly as possible!"
… Although there were heavy casualties in this God-sent Ceremony, the harvest was greater than in previous years.
It took a full day to move all the supplies back to the iron-hulled ship in Taiping City Walled City, and then used the power talisman array on the bottom of the ship to sail the ship back.
Anchor in the middle of the lake.
However, Gu Zhengyang seemed to have suffered a serious injury.
After the fierce battle, he returned to his sickly appearance.
He left the chores to others and plunged into the greenhouse full of golden barley and never came out again.
When Han Te and Liuli took Li Yao in to check, he was holding a golden barley plant, sniffing the full fragrance, as motionless as a statue.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Liuli was the first to rush forward and grabbed Gu Zhengyang's scarred hand very worriedly.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Seeing his daughter, Gu Zhengyang finally had a stiff smile on his face.
He spread his fingers and rubbed his daughter's head twice.
Then he looked at Han Te and said, "Thanks to the change that Han Te encountered half a month ago." , formed those strange electric currents that were running around in his body.
I figured out the trajectory of these electric currents, and I had a vague understanding.
Only then could I temporarily return to the previous state and barely defeat Zhao Lie. " "Master is the most powerful!"
Hunter glanced at Li Yao and grinned, "What the 'Blood Eagle' Zhao Lie is, he's just an old hen.
Of course he's no match for you!"
"only" Gu Zhengyang's smile faded, a dark cloud appeared on his face, his eyes were a little hollow, and he said softly, "Although I can defeat Zhao Lie, I can't convince him, or even...
I can't convince myself.
"Am I really right, and am Zhao Lie really wrong?
At dawn today, should we really not raid the camp in the opposite village?
At the last moment, should I really let Zhao Lie go?"
"dad!"
Liuli was anxious, "You, what are you talking about?
Of course you are right.
Don't you often say that we are good people, at least human beings?
We cannot be like those crazy and evil guys!"
"But the result is the same."
Gu Zhengyang said sadly, "Zhao Lie is right.
Even if we don't kill those wounded soldiers and their wives, children, and children, they won't live for long.
They will either kill each other for the few supplies left, or they will be killed."
They were enslaved by gangs and other large villages, and fell into the fate of being unable to survive or die.
In the end... no one can avoid death, no matter how powerful the person is, they are destined to be swallowed up by this evil land!
"If Zhao Lie is a real villain, then I am a complete hypocrite.
I knew they would die, but I was indifferent.
I just didn't want to kill them with my own hands or dirty my hands."
In front of his daughter and apprentice, Gu Zhengyang's seemingly solid armor finally collapsed, and his voice trembled violently.
"That's not our fault!"
Hunter was so anxious that he waved his arms vigorously, "There are only so few supplies, but there are so many hungry people in the evil land.
We can't even save ourselves, so how can we have the energy to save others?
We can't help it!"
"Yes, I can't help it, we all... can't help it!"

Gu Zhengyang coughed painfully again.
He coughed so hard that he almost coughed out his internal organs.
He seemed to have made some decision while coughing, and pushed away the hands extended by his daughter and apprentice, saying, "I'm fine, Liuli, I...
I have something to tell you, Hunter, you might as well listen together."
Han Te and Liuli looked at each other, and both heard Gu Zhengyang's voice being more serious than ever before.
"Or, it's a story, the story your mother told me before she died, about some very special people."
Gu Zhengyang said word by word, "About, the story of a cultivator."
Li Yao's soul vibrated violently, almost spilling out of his steel shell.
He couldn't find anything after wearing iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there.
He didn't expect that he would discover the cultivator dormant in the evil soil of Wuying Realm so quickly!
He raised the sensitivity of his soul to the limit, not letting go of every heartbeat and pulse of Gu Zhengyang, making sure that what he said was the truth.
Hunter and Liuli looked at each other, obviously knowing nothing about the name "Cultivator": "Cultivator, what is that?"
"A mythical legend, a bizarre story, perhaps some... indecisive, timid, and soft-hearted cowards."
Gu Zhengyang leaned against the bulkhead, closed his eyes slightly, and murmured, "Originally, I have been hesitating whether to tell you about the cultivators, because these people include their stories, the evil soil, and the entire life of us.
The world is so different, so out of place, it’s a huge contradiction!
I vaguely feel that the story of the cultivators will not bring you any benefit, but it may bring you, Taiping Walled City and even the entire evil.
The land brings devastating disasters.
"but……" He laughed miserably and continued, "Now that I have figured it out, the evil earth is already like this, what kind of disaster can make it worse?
"Furthermore, according to Zhao Lie, the gangsters in Shuanglong Valley are deliberately planning to deal with Taiping City Walled City.
If I don't tell you now, they may never have the chance.
"Liu Li, do you want to know how your mother first came up with the idea of planting golden barley to save everyone on the evil land?
That was when she was very young, and she overheard a story.
The story said that in a long, long, long time In the past, when Nietu was still called the 'Wuying Realm', when it was still green mountains and green waters, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, there used to be a group of people called 'cultivationists'."
Gu Zhengyang's expression was solemn.
He took out an antique metal box from the leather pouch at his waist and opened it carefully.
Inside was a piece of very fine velvet with a chip the size of a fingernail placed on it.
Li Yao used his soul to scan and through the structure and nesting of hundreds of talisman arrays on the surface of the chip, he preliminarily analyzed that this should be some kind of memory chip, equivalent to a miniature jade slip.
Judging from the friction marks on the edge of the wafer, it is very old and may have been passed down for hundreds of years.
There was also a shallow crack on the surface of the wafer, causing irreversible damage to the structure. 8
