Just after Pei Qian was taken away, Zhang Yan was eagerly looking forward to the news of the spy, because Shangdang was his foundation. Once he lost it, he might really become a rootless duckweed like Pei Qian said. This is actually quite nice, but what is not nice is that he will become a betrayal dog.

After two days of eager waiting, Zhang Yan finally heard that his spy had returned. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself and went out to greet him in person.

However, when he saw the spy's panic expression, his heart suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Originally, Zhang Yan was afraid of the turmoil of the army and wanted the spy to come in and talk, but the spy said loudly: "It's not good, the eldest son, the city of Changzi has fallen into Pei Qing's hands, and none of us have come out. No wonder we don't know the news of the eldest son's fall."

"What?"

"The eldest son fell? How is this possible?"

"No one came out, is this true?"

When the soldiers around him heard the news, they were all shocked. They looked at the spy in disbelief. After a moment, the entire camp seemed to be in a furious situation, and there was panic everywhere.

Zhang Yan suddenly smiled bitterly. The thing she was worried about finally happened. Now we have to make a choice, otherwise there will be only a dead end to wait for them!

At this time, a scholar came to Zhang Yan and said in a deep voice: "General, you don't have to worry. At worst, we can lead the army back and take back the eldest son."

However, Zhang Yan shook his head, because this plan was not good, and it was easy to regain it, but in fact it was too difficult to do it, because he didn't know who was the one who captured the eldest son, how many troops the other party had, how dare he launch an attack at will. Besides, even if the eldest son city is easy to capture, so what? Yuan Shao was scheduled to follow him. At that time, the Changzi City they had finally seized fell into Yuan Shao's hands again. Yuan Shao was a mediocre person. If he had to make a choice, he would rather choose to surrender to Pei Qing than surrender to him.

However, things have not reached that point, because the scholar saw Zhang Yan silent and knew that his plan did not match Zhang Yan's thoughts. In fact, after thinking about it, he felt that it was still difficult to regain Changzhi. So after some thought, he gave Zhang Yan another idea: "General, the situation is not irreversible. Don't we still have Pei Qian? This is Pei Qing's clan brother. The general can use Pei Qian to exchange for his eldest son."

"This is a good idea." Zhang Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this, but then she smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is not easy to deal with. If Pei Qing really doesn't change it, would we dare to kill Pei Qian?"

"This... there is no need to kill, but we can threaten Pei Qian with death and let him help us exchange for the eldest son."

"But you have also seen Pei Qian's performance in the mansion that day. It may be difficult to threaten him." Zhang Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He really had no choice for someone like Pei Qian.

However, the scholar said, "How can you know if you don't try it? Perhaps Pei Qian is not as strong as he is, but because he was confident that you would not kill him, he was so confident. If he really died, I don't believe that he is really indifferent."

When Zhang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but fall into thinking. He felt that the scholar was right, so he said, "What he said is reasonable. Mr. Zhu, then do what you said. If Pei Qian is really willing to surrender, he will naturally be unsuccessful. If he is really not afraid of death, it will not be too late for us to surrender to him."

That night, Pei Qian knew that Zhang Yan wanted to kill him because this news was brought to him by Zhu Gongdao.

Zhu Gongdao said, "Sir, I got the news from my brother Zhuao. Chu Feiyan is going to threaten Mr. Pei to persuade Mr. Pei to return his eldest son by killing him tomorrow. I am willing to take the risk to come and rescue him. I hope Mr. escape with me to avoid a disaster."

However, Pei Qian smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Zhu Yishi, for coming to save him, but I will not leave. Not to mention that Zhang Yan has no courage to kill me, even if he really kills me, I will not leave. Now the people of Shangdang are in dire straits under his rule. If my death can be exchanged for peace for the people, then it will be worth it even if I die. For so many days, Lao Yishi has been bothered, but it is a pity that I can't stay here anymore. I have written a letter of recommendation here. Zhu Yishi can meet my brother with this letter in the future. I believe that I will definitely be valued by my brother at that time. This can be regarded as a small retribution for you to take care of me so much these days. Zhu Yishi, don't dislike me."

Pei Qian said, while taking out the letter of recommendation he wrote in advance from his arms and handing it to Zhu Gongdao's hand.

Zhu Gongdao sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that Mr. I would like to treat death as if I were so happy. Since that's the case, why should I cherish this? I must protect my husband at this time. If anyone dares to murder Mr. I am willing to fight but die and keep Mr. safe."

Pei Qian shook his head and said, "If Zhang Yan executes me, there will definitely be many soldiers around him. On the one hand, it is to show his determination, and on the other hand, it is to prevent me from escaping. If Zhu Yishi comes forward, not only will he not be able to save me, but you will also take it in. It is useless to die alone. It is better to stay for the promiscuous body and do some meaningful things!"

Zhu Jingdao was silent for a moment, and then said: "The righteousness of a real man is the meaning. Death is more important than Mount Tai and less than a feather. I die for righteousness, which is hundreds of times better than a secret life. Sir, don't persuade me anymore, I have decided."

Pei Qian sighed and said, "Since Zhu Yishi has made a decision, Qian will not say more. Qian just hopes that Zhu Yishi can remember one thing. As long as Zhang Yan's murdered ghost-headed knife does not fall, you should not take action, so that you will not hurt the innocent..."

In fact, Pei Qian didn't say a word. Although he admired Zhu Gongdao's loyalty, on the other hand, he was afraid that Zhu Gongdao would miss a big deal. Because although he was not afraid of death, he always believed that Zhang Yan did not dare to take action. Perhaps this was because Zhang Yan deliberately intimidated himself.

Zhu Gongdao said it directly: "Sir, are you afraid that my reckless action will lead to a big mistake? Please rest assured that justice knows the importance of justice. As long as the teacher is not in danger of life, justice will not take action, and he will never miss a big accident."
