The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Chapter 349 Little Coward

Ji Ming sobbed softly, then burst into tears, and cried out with all his might,

"Dad, I'm Ming'er, save me, they want to kill me, they want to kill your son to vent their anger!"

This earth-shattering and soul-stirring cry successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Yu Honghui looked to the side and saw a familiar face.

He took a big step forward and bowed.

Shen Zhao stopped him and explained,

"General Yu, I am here at the border on the orders of His Majesty.

On the way here, I met my second senior brother and captured a hostage.

Look, it’s Ji Ming, the son of the opposing commander!”

Yu Honghui swallowed the doubts in his heart. Why did His Majesty send the princess to the battlefield alone? Considering His Majesty's protective attitude towards the princess, can he really be at ease?

Yu Honghui had a feeling that something was wrong, but since the princess had winked at him, he did not ask about it on the spot. Instead, he pointed at the fair-faced young man and said,

"Sir, is this really Ji Ming's son?"

Shen Zhao pointed at Ji You's embarrassed face and said with a smile,

"General Yu, look.

The other side fell silent, as if they were no longer in the mood to provoke.

Looking at Ji You again, he frowned and looked gloomy.

If this wasn't his son, he would have started laughing at us for arresting the wrong guy instead of keeping silent."

Yu Honghui had to admit that the princess was right.

They laughed out loud, the princess was simply sending them timely help.

Originally, we were restricted by the opponent's new weapon.

I could only endure the other party's scolding, but now I have a hostage.

Yu Honghui shouted confidently,

"Soldiers, just curse back at me the same way they cursed me just now. Don't be polite. Remember, Ji You's son is in our hands."

A soldier, who was tall and strong with a loud voice, was the first to stand up and curse,

"Why are those bastards on the other side silent?

Oh my, you guys are scolding me.

He wasn't very arrogant and didn't ask us what to do.

I'm begging for mercy on my knees. If you dare, shout again!

It feels so good. So this is what it feels like to capture your commander-in-chief’s son.

Tsk tsk, you are said to be the greatest general and god of war of the Great Jin Dynasty. Ji You, you can’t even take care of your own son, so how can you manage your soldiers?

Look at your son's snotty face, father, you don't like crying in secret, do you, little coward? "

Every word the soldier spoke was clearly heard by the other side, mixed with Ji Ming's cries, it was like a huge slap in the face to the person on the other side.

On the chariot opposite, Ji You's face was already gloomy, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The 20,000 soldiers standing behind him were silent, with humiliation on their faces.

However, because the commander had not spoken, they did not dare to do anything disrespectful.

But occasionally a few of them would make faces and there would be a flash of dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Even though Ji You didn't see these, he could think of them in his heart.

The man next to him was thin, and only his bright eyes were somewhat eye-catching.

This is Ji You’s first confidant and also his military advisor, Meng Tong.

Meng Tong could naturally recognize that the man screaming for help on the city wall was his general's illegitimate son Ji Ming.

At the same time, we also know that Ji Ming was sent by the general to seduce the heart of the daughter of the governor of Yanran City, but it seems that he has failed!

Meng Tong glanced at Ji You and asked,

“General, the Third Young Master has been captured.

Should we negotiate with the other party to see if we can redeem the Third Young Master?"

Ji You's brows were gloomy. He took the trumpet from the deputy general beside him, coughed, and said in a deep voice,

"Ji Ming, your father has taught you a truth since you were young.

do you remember?"

The loud voice fell into Jiming's ears, and his eyes flashed with mockery.

The principles that were taught to him since childhood, oh, did he listen to them?

He was afraid of his stepmother and didn't dare to get close to him, a bastard.

Thinking of Ji You's serious warning to himself before leaving,

"Tomorrow, if you fail in your mission and your identity is discovered.

Take the poison and kill yourself immediately before they have a chance to catch you.

As for your mother, I promise you that I will treat her well.

I will also give you a stepchild to support your bloodline.

You must remember this, remember this!"

Ji Ming certainly understood what he meant, but in order to have his own place when he returned to Kyoto, he pretended to be sensible and said,

“Remember, my father’s teachings to me have always been in my heart.

A real man should sacrifice himself for the country and for justice!"

After these words were spoken, Ji You's expression looked a little better.

This is the last bit of room for this useless son to make his mark!

A look of understanding flashed across Meng Tong's eyes. He saw from the corner of his eye that the deputy general had something else to say, so he immediately grabbed his hand and shook his head at him, signaling him not to interfere.

The general has no shortage of illegitimate sons. For Ji Ming's sacrifice today, they will seek justice for him tomorrow. Even though Ji Ming is dead, he is still alive!

The deputy general couldn't bear to turn his eyes away and no longer look at Ji Ming who had tears in his eyes.

Ji You said in a sonorous and powerful voice,

"In that case, Ming'er, you should know your father's choice.

As a father, I cannot abandon the thousands of soldiers and people behind you for just you, and I cannot let down His Majesty who has deep faith in the Ji family.

Tomorrow, we will be father and son again in the next life!"

Ji You wiped away the tears from his eyes. Many people noticed that the corners of his eyes had turned red, and his gaze towards Ji Ming was filled with reluctance.

General Ji had no choice but to put aside his personal feelings for the sake of the national cause!

The soldiers present all had a heightened admiration for Ji You, looking at the opposite side with raging anger.

It was these people who put their commander in a dilemma, forcing him to sacrifice his son.

General Ji made a great sacrifice, almost everyone in the Great Jin Dynasty thought so!

Shen Zhao sneered, this Ji You was really cruel and heartless.

Without even giving a chance to negotiate, he casually abandoned his son's life with just a few words. This is truly "unlimited righteousness"!

Shen Zhao leaned over to whisper in Ji Ming's ear and said earnestly,

"Ji Ming, see your father's true face!

I hope you can do your best for me.

After all, I spared your life and gave you a choice, unlike your biological father who didn't even ask about the conditions for redemption."

Shen Zhao's expression suddenly changed. He kicked Ji Ming and said sarcastically,

"You are such a disliked bastard. I didn't even mention any conditions, but your father just rejected you. Is it because you are not his biological son or is he aiming for something bigger?

He is not trying to establish his image as someone who is devoted to the people, the country and the king through this, right?

However, if he could abandon even his own blood, how much loyalty can he have to the king? Could he have any feelings for the people who are not his own blood?

How ridiculous, Ji Ming, you are just a stepping stone for your father to rise to the top!"

Shen Zhao spoke loudly and clearly, and everyone present could hear him.

Ji You's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he looked at Shen Zhao gloomily.

Where did this brat come from? How dare he be so disrespectful to him!

Ji You was about to retort, what kind of nonsense is this?

Then he heard this bastard who had never been given much hope since childhood, clearing his name.

"Bah, don't insult my father.

My father is the patron saint of the Great Jin Dynasty, and my Ji family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations!

Even though I, Ji Ming, am just a bastard, I have learned my father's fine traditions.

It’s not that my father doesn’t love me, it’s just that he has great love in his heart!

What do you know as a selfish person? You just make up rumors out of nothing!"
