Chapter 7 The Courage of a Man(2/2)
"Everyone in the city, listen up!" Dian Wei, who was following Boss Cao, turned around and shouted with a voice as loud as Zhang Fei's: "From now on, if anyone dares to step out of the city, our army will immediately execute Tao Ying.
Children!" Liu Bei, Guan, Zhang Zhao and others were immediately speechless and didn't know what to do.
At the same time, when Deputy Director Tao, who was escorted to the oil pan, heard Boss Cao's words, his handsome little face turned whiter than a dead man, and there was only one thought left in his mind, "Oh no!
! How can old thief Cao be so cunning and come up with such a vicious idea? Not only can he kill me with boiling oil, but he can also justifiably return his troops to rescue Yanzhou, and save both face and face!"
"Little Tao Yingxu, I sacrificed my life to go to the national disaster. I saw death as if I were home!" Mr. Cao laughed and clapped his horse as he approached. He waved his whip at Tao Yingxu and said with a smile: "Your opportunity has come to sacrifice your life. What I said just now, you
I heard it too, if you dare to jump into the frying pan by yourself, I will retreat immediately and I will never break my promise!"
"Mr. Tao, no one has ever died in life, and his loyalty will be remembered by history. This is your best sentence." Guo Jia also coughed and walked forward, smiled at Deputy Director Tao and said: "Today I, Guo Jia, want to see
Let’s see if Mr. Tao, who can recite such a beautiful line, can actually do it.”
"This guy is Guo Jia." Tao Ying glanced at Guo Jia, trying hard to remember what kind of ugly face this tuberculosis ghost was. When he turned to look at the big pot full of green oil, Deputy Director Tao's legs cramped.
I feel like - Mom, why did the boiling oil in the pot boil so quickly?
"Let him go!" Boss Cao ordered the Cao soldiers who were guarding Tao Ying, and asked the soldiers to let go of Deputy Director Tao. He also asked someone to fetch a mounting stake and place it next to the pot. Finally, he shouted at Tao Ying: "Boy,
You make your own choice, do you want it for yourself or the people of Xuzhou?"
Deputy Director Tao's face turned pale and he did not dare to answer - just kidding, Deputy Director Tao had already been in a car accident, how could he still dare to jump into the boiling oil pot by himself?
"My lord, since my lord is determined to test the second young master, let's simply bet bigger." Guo Jia smiled and came up with an even worse idea, "If young master Tao doesn't dare to jump, please let him go back to Xuzhou City first, and then my lord will do it again."
Send an army to attack the city and kill all the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou to avenge your father. If Mr. Tao jumps into the frying pan himself, then my lord will keep his promise, withdraw his troops and leave Xuzhou!"
"Miao, that's it!"
Boss Cao applauded and winked at Dian Wei, the captain in front of the tent next to him. Dian Wei understood and immediately got back on his horse and ran to the city wall. He raised his voice as loudly as Zhang Fei and shouted, "Boss Cao is coming!"
The new conditions he proposed were that if Tao Ying was afraid of death and refused to jump into the frying pan, Boss Cao would immediately release his troops and wait for Tao Ying to return to the city before attacking the city. If Tao Ying jumped into the frying pan, Boss Cao would immediately withdraw his troops. Rao
Passing through the entire city of Xuzhou, the soldiers and civilians—of course, it was only a temporary pardon.
After hearing the new conditions of Cao Cao's cat-and-mouse game, the two brothers Tao Qian, Tao Shang, and Tao Ji on the city wall burst into tears and didn't know what to choose. The soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou talked about it with different ideas, but Liu Bei, Guan, Zhang Zhao and others shouted
Get up and say, "Second Young Master, come back! Come back! We will defend Xuzhou to the death and we will not let the Cao thieves break the city!"
"Boy, did you hear my new conditions?" Boss Cao turned to Tao Ying again, and said with a cruel smile: "If you are afraid of death, you can leave immediately, I won't kill you for the time being!"
As an outstanding member of the system in the 21st century, Deputy Director Tao is of course greedy for life and afraid of death, so when he heard the new conditions proposed by Boss Cao, Deputy Director Tao almost subconsciously raised his legs and wanted to run away, but
As soon as his legs moved, Deputy Director Tao, who felt a little relaxed, suddenly discovered something unusual - there seemed to be a strange smell in the air.
Deputy Director Tao sniffed carefully and finally identified the strange smell and its source. The strange smell was a thick sour smell, coming from the boiling oil pan.
