Yun Zhao left, and Wang Qiang also left the camp silently. He once hated these two people extremely, but now he couldn't hate them. Compared to himself, they were afraid that they would be more painful and uncomfortable. Although they had betrayed, they were pitiful because they were betrayed again and again.

"Brother Yao, is this the ending we want?" Ding Jian looked at Yao Meng, with an indescribable hideous and terrifying face. "Qiao Zifang was right at the time. We should run away with the 10,000 Lucheng border troops. In this way, I took this hat on my head now, but now, we have given our passion and loyalty, and we have gotten these."

He laughed miserably, "We are now fearful and traitors, and have completely lost our identity. Although we are alive, we are even more uncomfortable than death."

Yao Meng slowly stood up, "You are wrong, Ding Jian, we are still alive. This is God's gift to us. We are much luckier than Lao Qu, Wang Zhuang, and Qiao Zifang."

Ding Jian shouted: "I would rather die in battle at that time, without seeing it!" He pulled out his sword and wiped it horizontally on his neck. Yao Meng was shocked, stretched out his hands quickly, twisted Ding Jian's arm, and grabbed the knife from Ding Jian's hand, "Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, I'm very awake!" Ding Jian cried: "My relatives have died, I have no identity. Even if I live, it's no different from death! I'm still dead!"

"Ding Jian, haven't you heard Yun Zhao say that you have a son you just gave birth to!" Yao Meng shouted.

"So what, how can a newborn baby survive without his mother, without his relatives, and in such an environment?"

"No matter what, you have to get the last news before you talk!" Yao Meng slapped Ding Jian in the face, "Wake up! Ding Jian, are you still a man? If someone pours such a basin of dirty water on us, will we swallow our anger? We are not dead yet, that is, God doesn't want to see us treated like this, this is the opportunity given to us by God."

"No chance!" Ding Jian shouted: "This is the decree issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Even if they find out that they are wrong in the end, so what? Can you still expect the Emperor to admit that he was deceived to the world for the sake of us little people who are unknown? General Feng was in Shangjing. There are so many generals with extremely rich military experience. Can't they see the tricks in it? But so what, the decree was still issued. No one cares about the life or death of us little people. Brother Yao, we are finished, we have no chance! In their eyes, we are no different from an ant!"

Yao Meng closed his eyes. A few tears rolled down from his eyes. He pressed Ding Jian's shoulder with both hands and pressed him on the chair. "Ding Jian. From now on, we can't count on others. We have to count on ourselves. The emperor cannot rehabilitate us. We will rehabilitate ourselves and avenge ourselves."

Ding Jian looked at Yao Meng, "Just rely on the people we are now?"

"Of course we can't do it!" Yao Meng looked at Ding Jian who calmed down, "But don't forget that there are Yun Zhao and Anqing border troops here."

"The Anqing border army is also an army of the imperial court. Maybe one day, Yun Zhao will receive an order to arrest us." Ding Jian said.

Yao Meng laughed, "Ding Jian, are you stupid? Why are Yun Zhao here today? Why did he send us food after reading such an announcement, and wouldn't he send someone to Lu Ning to save our relatives? Why?"

"Why?" Ding Jian said blankly: "He knew what we were in Fengkou, so he would not be fooled by this announcement."

"You are confused!" Yao Meng sneered: "Don't forget that there is actually a grudge between us and Yun Zhao. Chen Feng's death is inseparable from us. Why did Yun Zhao not add any damage? He just stopped supplying food and grass for us, and we would starve to death in the heavy snow."

Ding Jian finally reacted, "Yun Zhao has always wanted to eat our army."

"Yes, there are only two thousand left in the border army in Lucheng now, but these two thousand are elite troops that emerge from blood and fire. They are the most rare veterans in a unit. Yun Zhao fell in love with them."

"What can I do if I vote for Yun Zhao?" Ding Jian shook his head and said, "He is a little Ranger General, yet, what else can he expect?"

"You are wrong again!" Yao Meng shook his head, "After learning that the court had made us so determined, Yun Zhao still gave us food without any scruples, showing the intention of recruiting us. What does it mean? It means that he did not take the court in Shangjing seriously at all. He focused on increasing his strength. Yun Zhao is a brave, wild, and has a lot of thoughts. After years of experience, he has become much more cunning. Ding Jian, you can imagine what would happen if he had enough strength?"

"So what can we do? Could it be that we can still avenge us?" Ding Jian sighed: "At most we can save our lives!"

Yao Meng sneered, "Do you know the case of Yunjia Village massacre?"

"Do you know where Yun Zhao's wife Rou Niang went?"

Ding Jian jumped up suddenly, "Yunjia Village slaughter case, Yun Zhao is from Yunjia Village! Brother Yao, how do you know this?"

Yao Meng sighed: "When Xu Wei, the imperial envoy in Shangjing, came to Lucheng, he secretly looked for me and told me about this matter. He originally hoped to instigate me, so he mentioned Rou Niang to me invisible. Do you know who Rou Niang is? He is Yun Zhao's wife. Do you know why Yunjia Village was slaughtered? It was because the eldest prince fell in love with this Rou Niang. It was through Sima Rui's hand that he snatched away and sent it to Shangjing."

Ding Jian was stunned, "Brother Yao, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Yao Meng smiled bitterly, "At that time, we were in high spirits and wanted to follow Sima Rui to walk onto the Golden Avenue, where we could pay attention to Xu Wei, so we refused the other party at that time, but I still kept this matter and went to inquire in private. At that time, Sima Rui was smuggling armies with the Mongols. It was these Mongols who were commissioned by Sima Rui to slaughter Yunjia Village and snatch Rou Niang away."

"Think about it, what would he do if Yun Zhao knew that the Sima family had the hatred of killing his mother and taking his wife? What would he do if he knew that his wife was in the eldest prince's mansion now?" Yao Meng asked.

"With Yun Zhao's arrogant and domineering personality, he will definitely seek revenge on the other party." Ding Jian understood Yao Meng's meaning, "Brother, are you going to tell Yun Zhao about these things?"

Yao Meng shook his head, "Not now, Yun Zhao's strength is still very weak. Even if we surrender to him, he can hold less than 10,000 troops, and his food, grass and weapons are not enough. If he knew the truth now and raised anger, it would be inconvenient to destroy him and us. In this way, we will not only not be able to avenge the wronged, but will instead be in abdicated."

"When will we wait?"

"Ding Jian. Be patient. I am over 40 years old this year, and I am not in a hurry. You are only under 30 years old. What are you in a hurry? We defect to Yun Zhao and do our best to assist him. Help him strengthen his strength and grab territory. He helps to establish his ambition step by step. When he has a certain strength, we will tell him the truth. That is the best time, and then we will have hope of revenge." Yao Meng said calmly.

"Boss, I'll listen to you." Ding Jian stood up quickly, "Tomorrow, we will go to Anqing and join Yun Zhao."

"Don't worry, Yun Zhao sent someone to Lu Ning. If there is any news, he will send someone to inform us. It is not a business. Ding Jian and Yun Zhao have many people in his hands now, but he lacks experienced generals. It is obviously not possible to rely on the Anqing Border Army alone. Yun Zhao will not be at ease to give all his power to the officers of the Anqing Border Army. He needs different factions and strength to balance. We are such people. If we surrender to him, he can use us to check and balance the Anqing Border Army Hu Zehua, Su Dingfang and others."

"Yun Zhao is afraid that he doesn't have such a scheming?" Ding Jian said suspiciously.

"Not now, but one day he will realize it." Yao Meng sneered, "A hero or a hero is not achieved overnight. They will grow up slowly in troubled times and learn a lot."

"Brother Yao, you're a little scared now. You seem to have changed!" Ding Jian whispered.

Yao Meng smiled, "Has it changed? I haven't changed, Ding Jian, we will live for ourselves for the rest of our lives. Do it well!"

Ten days later, Anqing rode fast horses, "General Yao, General Ding, the people who went to Lu Ning are back. General Yun Zhao asked the two to go to Anqing immediately."

Yao Meng, who had been waiting for this day, and Ding Jian and the others did not say anything, got on the horse and went straight to Anqing. Yao Meng was calm. Last time, Yun Zhao had clearly informed him that his relatives had been killed, and Ding Jian still had a lucky chance, and he felt uneasy along the way.

Arriving in Anqing, he arrived at the garrison general's mansion, and dismounted. The two of them went straight to the hall. As soon as they entered the door, they found Yun Zhao, Su Dingfang, Hu Zehua, Jiang Feng, Hao Ren, Yao Qian and others were all there, and there were several other people in the hall.

As soon as Ding Jian stepped into the door, his eyes stared straight at the hall. A swaddle cloth held in Yan Xiaoyi's arms, his legs trembled like sieve. He stretched out his hands, but he didn't take a step.

Yan Xiaoyi sighed, walked forward, and handed the child in his arms to him, "Ding Jian, this is your son, his birth date is placed close to his body. I am very sorry, the old servant's leg was broken, I can't bring him back, I can only keep him in Lu Ning. Maybe you will see him in the future."

Ding Jian whimpered, pressing the baby's little face tightly against his face, and tears fell down. The little baby also started to cry. Seeing this scene, everyone in the house was used to seeing the person of life and death, and felt sorry for him.

Guo Feng held a little girl in his hand and walked to Yao Meng, "General Yao, this is General Wang Zhuang's daughter. I'm sorry, Mrs. Wang committed suicide. Right in front of me."

Qu Linfeng walked to Yao Meng, knelt down, "Uncle Yao!" He hugged Yao Meng's legs and cried.

Yao Meng picked up the little girl with a terrified expression with one hand, dragged Qu Linfeng up with the other hand, and hugged him tightly in his arms, "Child, from now on, I will be your father, and you will be my children."
