Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 469: Blood for Blood, Tooth for Tooth

Not long after, Li Cunxi saw a group of people walking out of the Khitan military camp. A dozen Khitan generals were surrounding an old man.

The old man was wearing light armor, his hair and beard were all white, and his face was lined with so many wrinkles that they could almost crush an ant to death.

The dozen or so generals around were all burly and strong, with fierce expressions, and had the rough style of the Khitan people.

"I am Sun Wanrong, the Grand Marshal of Khitan. Are you Mr. Li Cunxi of the Great Zhou?"

Sun Wanrong rode his horse forward, leaving a distance of more than ten miles behind.

Those Khitan generals had probably been instructed by Sun Wanrong, so they did not take the initiative to follow.

"Cunxi, I'm afraid it's a trap." Hu Jinghui reminded.

"He's just an old man in his twilight years. He shouldn't be a threat to me."

There was a hint of caution in Li Cunxi's eyes, but he still looked down on the Khitan Marshal.

He turned his horse forward and answered loudly: "I am Li Cunxi."

About a hundred meters away, Sun Wanrong could see the appearance of the person coming.

This person may not seem very handsome at first glance, but if you continue looking at him, you will find that he is quite good-looking.

The most important thing is that Li Cunxi was so thin that Sun Wanrong felt like he could be blown off his horse by a strong wind.

"Sun Wanrong, nice to meet you, Mr. Li."

Sun Wanrong bowed his hands with a hint of respect in his expression.

"I have already experienced Mr. Li's skills outside Chongzhou City."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Li, despite his young age, not only holds a high position, but is also well-read, even having read the art of war."

"The alliance between Youwei Guard and Yingzhou Guard is really giving us a headache."

"In the battle of Chongzhou, the one who saw through the snake spirit's trick was you, if I remember correctly, right?"

Li Cunxi originally wanted to curse "Sun Wanzhan" to provoke this old man who looked like he was close to death.

but……

When the words came to my lips, my heart softened again.

Sun Wanrong of the Khitan was originally loyal to the Great Zhou. He rebelled because he was forced to live without any chance of survival by Zhao Wenhui.

If he scolded such an enemy to death, he himself would not be able to accept such an outcome.

After thinking about it, Li Cunxi smiled.

"I am truly ashamed to receive such an evaluation from the Grand Marshal."

"I am just doing my best for the people of Chongzhou City."

"But, in the end, the Grand Marshal still found a way."

When Sun Wanrong heard this, a trace of apology appeared on his face.

"Mr. Li has a clear mind, quick thinking, extensive reading, and superior intelligence. I, Sun Wanrong, wanted to have a fair fight with Mr. Li, but... my army can't wait too long."

"Mr. Li, I believe you are familiar with the situation in Khitan, right?"

"If we can't break through Chongzhou City, we will be dead soon after returning."

Sun Wanrong was an open and honest person. Regardless of whether Li Cunxi knew the situation in Khitan or not, he didn't mind telling the facts within Khitan.

Even if the men he brought with him did not die in battle in Chongzhou, most of them would not survive this winter.

This is their sorrow.

"We cannot avoid natural disasters, but we don't have to endure man-made disasters."

Sun Wanrong half tilted his head back.

Even his battered spirit and tortured body could not make this strong old man shed tears.

He pointed at the last thousands of Yingzhou guards who were surrounded by the Khitan Army, and smiled as brilliantly as Li Cunxi.

"Mr. Li, the people who were surrounded are the culprits who caused our cavalry to violate the border."

"We were the ones who set up this situation tonight. I never thought that it would lead to someone like you. I'm very sorry."

"The one I originally planned to deal with was actually the commander of the Right Guard, General Wang Xiaojie, who was known as the best general of the Great Zhou."

"I'm so sorry, now it's your turn to make the choice."

"Do you intend to charge us and perish together with us? Or do you intend to sit back and watch us kill all the remaining soldiers of Yingzhou Guards and pile their heads under Chongzhou City tomorrow?"

Li Cunxi had already anticipated this situation, but he couldn't make up his mind.

It’s a pity that Zhao Wenhui was also a coward. He was surrounded by tens of thousands of people and had no possibility of escape, but he didn’t commit suicide directly. Instead, he was willing to act as bait.

After a moment of silence, Li Cunxi said helplessly:

"This is indeed an extremely difficult decision. I can't just sit back and watch Zhao Wenhui and the others die in your military camp."

"More importantly, we have no chance of retreating tonight. The tens of thousands of soldiers in your outer military camps are prepared for us, right?"

Sun Wanrong nodded and said loudly:

"That's right, Mr. Li. I've told you before. I'm ready to perish together with you."

"But I don't know if Wang Xiaojie is ready to perish together with his enemies."

Li Cunxi threw his head back and laughed, his laughter full of helplessness.

He also didn't expect that he, with an IQ of 104, would be tricked by these ancients again.

"System, check Sun Wanrong's intelligence."

"Sun Wanrong's intelligence value: 101."

"Another monster that broke 100."

Li Cunxi lowered his head and cursed inwardly, then looked sternly at Sun Wanrong sitting opposite him.

He knew that with Sun Wanrong's intelligence, even if he shouted "Sun Wanzhan" until his throat was hoarse, Sun Wanrong himself would not feel insulted at all.

"Marshal Sun, do you know what consequences will be caused by your doing this?"

Li Cunxi closed his eyes and decided to try something different.

"What are the consequences, Mr. Li?" Sun Wanrong asked indifferently.

"General Sun, I can tell you right now that I can turn my horse and leave immediately and watch you kill General Zhao Wenhui. I can also watch you place their heads outside the city of Chongzhou."

"Well, then what?"

"I will continue to face your attack with my horns. I want to see if you can break into Chongzhou."

"What else?" Sun Wanrong continued to ask.

"After winter comes, when you feel everything is reviving, I will lead the Right Guard into Khitan."

Li Cunxi's expression suddenly turned fierce.

"I will let the remaining Khitan people who have just survived this winter, who are short of food and clothing, understand what it means to attack the Khitan people."

Sun Wanrong was stunned.

In the past, only the Khitan and Turks took the initiative to attack the Great Zhou, and the number of times the Great Zhou took the initiative to attack was really very few.

Li Cunxi slowly drew out the Youlan Sword, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Sun Wanrong.

"If Marshal Sun can hold out until next year, you will definitely see me slaughter all the Khitans."

"I will let Marshal Sun see corpses everywhere, I will let Marshal Sun see rivers of blood, and I will also let Marshal Sun see heads rolling on the ground."

"It's nothing more than killing one person and killing a hundred people, killing a hundred people and killing ten thousand people, destroying cities and exterminating countries, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

"No more than 20,000 Yingzhou guards died today. Their lives and heads are yours!"

"I, Li Cunxi, will see who among the Khitans can match the combined strength of me and General Wang Xiaojie after your death!"

Li Cunxi glared at him, his voice full of anger, but also revealed endless murderous intent.
