Fishing in Troubled Waters

"In order to avoid trouble, the four of them must die!" the man with a crew cut said concisely.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the four soldiers of the Fire Army changed instantly.

General Long Wei also frowned, his face gloomy: "What nonsense are you talking about? They are all my personal guards, brothers who have been through life and death with me, how could they defect to the enemy?"

"The most difficult thing to guess in this world is the human heart. There are many cases of brothers fighting against each other and fighting in the same house. For your safety, we can't take risks." The man with a crew cut said in a serious tone.

"A soldier can be killed but not humiliated! We have followed the general for many years, experienced life and death, and are loyal to him. We will never betray him even if we lose our lives!"

"That's right! Don't judge a gentleman by your own mean heart!"

"Humph! How can such a lowly person understand the brotherhood of sharing life and death?!"

Several fire soldiers were either angry or sarcastic about the words of the crew-haired man.

They are all personal guards who have gone through the test of life and death. At critical moments, they can sacrifice their lives for General Long Wei.

From the moment they entered the Fire Army to the moment they were selected as the Royal Guards, they were instilled with a purpose.

The general's safety is above all else.

Not to mention their own lives, even if all the lives of their family members were added together, they would not be as important as the general.

On the one hand, there is loyalty and faith.

On the other hand, military law is strict.

Because once something happened to the general, these personal guards would have to commit suicide to apologize, and their families would be implicated as well.

So no matter what happens, they will never have the idea of ​​betrayal.

"I really don't understand what you call brotherhood, but I understand human nature and punishment."

The man with a crew cut said expressionlessly: "Once you are caught, even if you are a strong man, you can't stand the punishment in the black prison. Don't quibble, because I used to work in the black prison and have seen too many real examples, and there has never been an exception."

The horror of the black prison punishment has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. People who have not experienced it will never understand the despair and pain.

Many so-called tough guys curse the heavens and the earth when they first enter the army, relying on their dying lives and fearing nothing.

But such people often cannot last more than half a day.

In the black prison, death is a luxury and a relief.

Most prisoners are unable to live or die.

There is a particularly classic case in Prison.

Ten years ago, there was a notorious thief who murdered more than a dozen women and even killed the daughter of a high-ranking official.

After that, the thief Cai Xi was imprisoned in a dark prison and tortured alive for three years. Finally, he was refined into a human pig. He was finally freed after the high-ranking official calmed down.

Precisely because he had seen so much blood and gore, he did not believe in so-called human nature, and even less did he believe that anyone could withstand torture and forced confession.

After hearing the word "Black Prison", several guards of the Fire Army immediately frowned and their words lost their sharpness.

Although they have never seen it with their own eyes, they are well aware of the horror of the Black Prison.

That is definitely not a place for people to stay.

Let me ask you, if they are really thrown into prison, can they withstand the punishment?

No one can be sure about this.

"General, for your safety, make a decision." The man with a crew cut turned his eyes away.

General Long Wei lowered his head, his expression uncertain.

"If the general can't do it, I can do it for you." The man with a crew cut said again.

"No way!"

General Long Wei's eyes turned cold: "I'll take care of my people myself!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out his sword and swung it at the four people in front of him.

"Swoosh!"

The light slashed across, as fast as lightning, bringing with it a gust of breeze.

The four people's bodies shook, and a thin red line suddenly appeared on their necks.

"General! You..."

The bearded man was shocked. Just as he was about to say something, the thin red line on his neck suddenly tore.

Blood splattered and the head fell to the ground.

The other three suffered the same fate, and each died with their eyes open.

They didn't expect the general to be so cruel. He would kill without any hesitation.

For the safety of the general, they could commit suicide if necessary.

But being killed by the general himself is another matter.

"Brothers, I'm sorry. I've taken care of you in this life, and I'll pay you back double in the next life."

General Long Wei looked at the four bodies on the ground and muttered to himself.

"What a fast move! The general is indeed a hero." The man with a crew cut smiled.

Men like these who have fought against thousands of enemies on the battlefield have all emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They are definitely not soft-hearted people.

However, he was still quite surprised by the cruelty of General Long Wei.

He could have used them to kill themselves, but he didn't expect the General would do it himself.

"Stop talking nonsense! If I can't leave the royal city one day, all of you will be buried with me!" General Long Wei said coldly.

"Don't worry, General. I have already made all the arrangements. If nothing unexpected happens, you can leave West Lucozia tomorrow morning." The man with a crew cut smiled.

"It would be better this way." General Long Wei slowly subsided his murderous intent.

"General, please come."

The man with the crew cut asked his subordinates to open the gate, and then he led a group of people out in a line, walking out openly.

General Long Wei had already put on the uniform of the city guards and blended in with the patrol team very normally, not conspicuous at all.

As long as he doesn't meet anyone he knows, they won't notice anything unusual. - Ton
