Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 256 Disobedience
If this was said by someone else, both Schrodinger and the Fifth Dimension would have to wonder if there was a trap hidden in it.

But there is no need to worry about Chen Qianzhi, because he will never betray his subordinates.

"Yes." The two responded softly.

"What if we don't want to make peace?" Xue Dingnan asked again in a low voice.

"If you have made up your mind, don't give the emperor a chance to regret it." Chen Qingzhi looked at the two of them and said, "How to choose, you can decide for yourselves."

"Yes." The two responded in a deep voice again.

~~
After coming out of Qilin Hall, Xue Dingnan and Diwuwei returned to Chongguang Tower and briefly explained the situation to another deputy guard master, Ji Buli.

Xue Dingnan asked: "How to choose?"

"Of course I want to kill him." The Fifth Dimension said coldly: "I have been to the living hell created by his two brothers, and witnessed the nightmares they created for thousands of people - and those are real crimes that happened!"

"I don't want to kill him?" Xue Dingnan rolled his eyes at him and said, "But Commander Chen made it very clear that you and I can withstand the revenge of the King of Linchuan, but the brothers can't."

"Then what do you say, Lord?" Diwuwei frowned and asked, "Can't we just let the brothers figure it out?"

"Yes, General Chen asked us to handle it because he was thinking about us. If we let our brothers handle it, it would be irresponsible." Ji Buli nodded.

"What should we do? Immediately pass the order and mobilize all guards to catch these two bastards." Xue Dingnan said with a gloomy face, "Don't let them get away!"

"Lord Wei, the imperial decree is to kill them, not capture them." The Fifth Dimension reminded in a deep voice.

"Indeed." Ji Buli glanced at Xue Ding and said, "But it's the same if we catch him and then kill him."

"That's right, let's catch him first." Xue Ding said, "If the emperor doesn't have a new decree, just kill him."

"Master!" Diwuwei said anxiously, "Aren't you just choosing another path?"

"..." Xue Dingnan was silent for a moment, nodded, exhaled and said: "I still need to talk to King Linchuan."

"This is the only correct answer." He said seriously, "Because given the emperor's temper, once he calms down, he will definitely pardon their death penalty. We always say that we are the royal hawks and dogs, so we should do our duty as hawks and dogs and not make things difficult for our master."

"That's right. We are just doing our job. We are doing the emperor's job. We know that the emperor will still let the two brothers go. There is no need to take it so seriously." Ji Buli nodded.

"Besides, we have both become the Lords of the Guards, and our days in the Gou Chen Division won't be long." He lowered his voice and said, "In the future, more and more members of the royal family will be appointed as provincial governors. We will most likely work under them, or even fall into the hands of his brothers. We may end up in trouble because of what happened today."

"What Lao Ji said makes sense. It is impossible for the brothers below to work in the Gou Chen Division for their entire lives. There is no need to ruin their futures for a momentary grudge." Xue Dingnan nodded and said, "The job is for the court, but the future is your own."

"What you said makes sense." The Fifth Dimension nodded.

Xue Dingnan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say with a smile: "Then..."

But the Fifth Dimension said word by word: "But doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

"Have you forgotten what I just said? Of course I want to kill them, but the consequences are too serious. It's not worth it, understand?!" Xue Dingnan raised his voice and said, "What era is it now? You are still so naive!"

"Fifth, you are now the deputy guard leader. Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to think about the future of your brothers." Ji Buli also advised.

"Sorry, I can't obey your order." The Fifth Dimension said with a dark face: "I can't think so much. My brain is broken. I can only do things according to my conscience."

"Fifth, don't be so arrogant. You are the Guard Leader and I am the Guard Leader!" Xue Dingnan also frowned and said sternly: "I will order you and your men to rest where you are and not leave the camp."

Then he turned to Ji Buli and said, "Old Ji, take Zhaoyang and Shangzhang and come with me to catch those people." "Yes." Ji Buli responded and left.

"You go back and have a rest first, and calm down first. When the time comes to reward you for your merits, you will have to help find me." Xue Dingnan waved his hand and asked the fifth dimension to go out as well.

The fifth dimension didn't even salute and just turned and left.

~~
Chongguang Banner.

Everyone is fully armed and just waiting for the order to set off.

But when they saw that the two buildings of Shangzhang Zhaoyang had already set off, there was no movement on their side.

The soldiers looked at each other, and Yan Fei said to Nangong: "Why don't you go ask the Lord?"

"Okay." Nangong nodded. Just as he was about to leave the camp, he saw the Fifth Dimension coming in with a serious expression.

"Lord Wei, can we set off now?" the soldiers asked in unison.

"Master Xue Wei has ordered that we will not participate in today's operation." The Fifth Dimension said with a grim expression.

"Why, we didn't get to eat meat this time?!" The soldiers were puzzled. The rescue operation was carried out secretly under the banner of the princess, and had nothing to do with most people. They hadn't achieved anything yet, so naturally they couldn't talk about the previous situation of "not even letting others drink soup".

"Master Wei, are the higher-ups trying to let us off the hook again?" Zuan couldn't help but ask loudly.

Everyone looked at the Fifth Dimension, waiting for him to shake his head in denial.

But the trusting eyes of the brothers, like Zaun's magical power, made it impossible for the Fifth Dimension to lie. He nodded solemnly and said, "The Guardian decided to arrest the two men first. I disagreed, and you were implicated and excluded from this mission."

"How could Lord Xue Wei do this? Isn't this clearly giving the two brothers a chance to survive?" Many soldiers were very dissatisfied.

"What else can we do? Xiao Zhengze is okay. The emperor will definitely not kill Xiao Zhengde. If we really kill him, we might end up in trouble." Some people also expressed their understanding.

"Then Lord Wei, shall we just let it go?" Yan Fei looked towards the fifth dimension.

"I am prepared to disobey his orders." Then the Fifth Dimension smiled faintly and said, "As for the reason, it is very simple - I will learn the civil and martial arts and sell them to the imperial family. I will work for the court, but I will not sell my conscience."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Ever since the day I joined the Gou Chen Division and became a ghostwriter ten years ago, I have been looking forward to such a day - I can personally eliminate Xiao Zhengde and Xiao Zhengze, these two vicious criminals, and give justice to the thousands of victims over the past twenty years!"

"Today, I finally got the chance to fight for the people. I don't want to give up no matter what!" He drew out the long sword from his waist with a clang, pointed it at the sky, and asked in a deep voice:

"Is there anyone willing to join me in killing the two villains?"

"I'll go!" Ren Yuan immediately stepped out, drew his sword, and said in a deep voice: "I swear to kill the two thieves!"

"I'll go too!" Yang Zhong and Chen Baxian said in unison. Not to mention A Yao, who had already stood silently behind Ren Yuan.

“I’m going too!” Zu An cursed, “My men have all gone, and I’m not going alone. It’s so embarrassing.”

"Let's go together." Yan Fei and the other soldiers also shouted: "Zhongguang Chuang swears to follow the Lord until death!"

ps. I have finally adjusted.
