Under the gazes of the three men including Duke Wei who were attending the funeral, Zhu Ping'an walked resolutely towards the door of the general's tent and stepped into the sunlight.
When he reached the door, Zhu Ping'an stopped.
Duke Wei and others saw this and thought that Zhu Ping'an regretted and became cowardly, but they could understand.
After all, in their view, if Zhu Pingan went out to deal with the problem of the rebels now, it would be tantamount to seeking death. There were three thousand rebels, and they were the rebels who killed Minister Huang. There was no possibility of persuasion. If Zhu Pingan went out at this time, he would definitely be killed by the rebels immediately.
Isn't it normal to be afraid of death? It is human nature. There is no one in the world who is not afraid of death.
Aren't they afraid of death themselves? So when they saw Zhu Ping'an stop, they were even a little relieved.
"Uncle, Eunuch He, please don't write a suicide note. Use the pen, ink, paper and inkstone you used to write a suicide note to write a death exemption certificate."
Zhu Ping'an stood at the door, paused, turned around and spoke to Duke Wei, Marquis Linhuai and Eunuch He.
"ha?!"
"Write a death-free ticket?!"
Duke Wei and the others opened their mouths in surprise, staring at Zhu Ping'an, some of them unable to believe their ears.
"Yes. Uncle, Eunuch He, please write 3,000 death exemption certificates. Don't forget to use the seal."
Zhu Pingan nodded and said seriously.
Duke Wei was stunned for two seconds, then shook his head in a helpless manner, looked at Zhu Ping'an with a caring look, and said with a wry smile, "Write a death exemption certificate?! Haha, nephew, you are really young and naive, and you have wild ideas. Even if we write more death exemption certificates for ourselves, those damned rebel soldiers will not recognize them."
"Haha, nephew, it's not a matter of quantity. Let alone writing 3,000 exemption certificates, even writing 30,000 exemption certificates will be useless. There's no way those damned soldiers out there would recognize the exemption certificates."
Linhuai Hou also responded with the same caring look towards the mentally retarded, and said to Zhu Pingan with a smile:
"Haha, Lord Xiao Zhu, you made me laugh a little..." Eunuch He shook his head.
Amid their laughter, Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly and said seriously, "Uncle, Eunuch He, these three thousand death exemption certificates are not for us, but for the three thousand chaotic soldiers outside!"
ha?!
Did we hear it right?! The death-free tickets are given to the three thousand soldiers outside?!
When Duke Wei and the others heard this, their faces became distorted with surprise, and their mouths opened wide, revealing their back teeth...
A second later, the three men of the Duke of Wei who were about to die couldn't help laughing, "Pfft... My dear nephew, are you preparing for your next life?! The rebels killed us, but we gave them the death-free coupons. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda... Are you doing this to accumulate blessings for us in the underworld, so that we can live better down there and be reborn into a good family?!"
Zhu Ping'an shook his head speechlessly. I grew up under the red flag, how could I have such thoughts
"Ah? Isn't it?" Duke Wei and others were surprised.
"Of course not." Zhu Pingan nodded vigorously and was about to explain to them when he heard a deafening roar of fighting and killing coming from outside. It was obvious that the soldiers outside had already robbed all the gold, silver and jewelry.
When the Duke of Wei, the Marquis of Linhuai, and Eunuch He heard the shouting and killing outside, they suddenly stopped laughing and their faces turned pale with fear. After the soldiers outside had looted the gold, silver, and jewelry, the next step was to attack the general's tent and kill them.
"Uncle, Eunuch He, there is no time to explain. Please believe me and quickly write 3,000 copies of the exemption from death certificate and stamp them with the seal. These 3,000 exemption from death certificates are the key to whether the mutiny can be quelled this time. Please."
Zhu Ping'an bowed deeply to them and spoke sincerely, then turned around and walked quickly out of the tent.
Duke Wei and his men looked at Zhu Ping'an in surprise. He walked out of the general's tent with firm strides and headed towards the chaotic soldiers...
"He really isn't afraid of death..." Eunuch He looked at Zhu Ping'an's back and said to himself, "Scholars are usually afraid of death. I have never seen a scholar with such courage..."
"A newborn calf is really not afraid of a tiger!" Duke Wei murmured.
"He is not a newborn calf, he is a high-spirited young man..." Linhuai Hou shook his head slightly, and inexplicably felt a little confidence in Zhu Ping'an. Linhuai Hou also found it a little difficult to understand, but he just had a little confidence.
"So should we write a suicide note or a death exemption certificate?" Duke Wei turned to look at Marquis Linhuai and Eunuch He.
"A death exemption certificate..." Eunuch He said without hesitation. He was just a eunuch and there was no need for him to write a suicide note.
"Give me the exemption from death certificate." Linhuai Hou also spoke.
Duke Wei looked at Marquis Linhuai in surprise. After all, it was Marquis Linhuai who suggested writing a suicide note, so why did he change his mind
"We hid in the tent, and Zihou stepped forward and asked us to write a death exemption letter before leaving. We can't let Zihou down... In addition, it's not too late to write the suicide note until the last minute..."
Marquis Linhuai looked at the entrance of the tent and said absentmindedly.
"You guys... Well, if you are exempt from the death paper, then just exempt from it. I'm going to go crazy with you guys for once..." The Duke of Wei stamped his feet, then stuck his butt out and rummaged around in a corner of the commander's tent to find a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
The Duke of Wei and the other three sat on the ground, cut rice paper, and began to write the death exemption scroll. The reason they sat on the ground was that the tables and chairs in the general's tent had been pulled out by Zhu Ping'an's personal soldiers to build a new defense line.
Outside the general's tent, three thousand soldiers had already looted all the gold, silver and jewelry, and once again began to attack the defense line at the door of the tent.
This line of defense was built with tables and chairs, which was stronger than the previous line of defense. The personal soldiers pushed the tables and chairs hard to block the enemy. However, even though it was stronger than the previous line of defense, it was still shaky under the impact of the three thousand angry soldiers, and it seemed that it would be torn open by the soldiers in the next second.
"If the dog officials don't give us a way out, we won't give them a way out either. Kill the dog officials!!"
"The officials force the people to rebel, so they have no choice but to rebel!"
"You bastard, return my wife's food and soldiers' wages!"
"Dog officer, Minister Huang is still waiting for you downstairs. We will send you to keep Minister Huang company!"
"Brothers, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Kill the corrupt officials, take back our soldiers' salaries, wives and food, and surrender to the Japanese pirates..."
The enraged soldiers madly attacked the defense line in front of the tent, shouting and killing at the commander's tent.
Zhu Pingan walked out of the commander's tent, firmly walked towards the crumbling defense line, towards the crazy chaotic soldiers, with a calm face, and whispered:
"The young man is chivalrous and makes friends with heroes from the five cities. He is open-minded and his hair stands on end. In the conversation, he is willing to die for his friends. A promise is worth a thousand gold. He is brave and unrestrained. He wears a light umbrella and rides a flying saddle to the east of the city. He drinks wine at the wine shop, and the spring scenery floats in the cold jar, sucking the rainbow from the sea. He calls the eagle and the dog at leisure, and plucks the carved bow with white feathers, and the cunning hole is suddenly empty. He is happy and hurried..."
