Chapter 314 Choice
"The Grand Preceptor is right. It would be too easy for me to die."
"If judged by my crimes, I should not be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts."
"He's a demon god, after all. How could I possibly think of ending it all like this?"
Looking at Chen Dao, who seemed to have a sudden realization and spoke with feeling, Fang Yuan fell silent.
Finally, he patted the other person on the shoulder.
"What I mean is, you died far too easily and irresponsibly."
"You need to understand the extent of the harm this has caused to others."
"How many families have you hurt over the years?"
"How many people in Handan have you harmed? Can you make up for it by simply dying?"
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Chen Dao, who had already resolved to face death, was stunned.
Yes, just now he even thought he could die to atone for his sins.
But I never thought about what would happen if I really died.
What impact will this have on the families and people you have hurt?
They've just lost one enemy, but their lives won't improve in the slightest.
Those orphaned children who were born prematurely because their parents were caught by them, they are still orphans.
Those whose family members died due to their own fault.
Their loved ones will not come back to life, yet they ridiculously believe it.
They believed that they could simply die to end their lives, making themselves appear righteous.
It seems we really do have different perspectives.
After shaking his head, he looked at Tang Yu with bitter eyes.
"But Grand Preceptor, what should I do?"
"Whether according to the laws of Qin or according to something else."
“This is a death sentence for me. After all, it involves at least 60 lives.”
"I, Chen Dao, only wish for death!"
Tang Yu remained silent upon hearing this.
Chen Dao remained silent.
The direct impact of this incident is the death of at least 60 people.
Not to mention, how many families and people had he hurt before this incident?
If that's the case, then why not atone with death?
"Congratulations, you survived."
"At that time, I gave you a choice: whether to take the medicine and live a normal life, or to commit suicide."
"If you choose to take the potion, I will kill you right now."
"But...but since you chose to commit suicide."
"That proves that you are aware of your sins, so I don't mind letting you off the hook."
"Of course, you need to spend your whole life atoning for your actions."
"This must be far more difficult than simply dying."
"If you truly have a sense of responsibility and commitment, I hope you can choose the option that you believe is right."
"Yes, my lord."
Chen Dao remained silent, noticing that Tang Yu in front of him was not saying a word.
Tang Yu remained silent and returned directly to the Heavenly Prison.
This time, Chen Dao voluntarily locked himself in there.
He needed time to think about Tang Yu's words; he needed to figure out whether Tang Yu was right or wrong.
How to atone for one's actions are questions that require deep reflection.
Tang Yu didn't care what Chen Dao thought.
Tang Yu was in no mood to worry about that at the moment, after all, according to Zheng Ge's intelligence...
The enemy, seemingly like a pack of mad dogs, began attacking Handan City.
And judging by the number of people, there were tens of thousands of soldiers.
Tang Yu looked at the Gatling gun he had placed in the system and sighed deeply.
If he really wanted to, he would prefer not to use weapons against these civilians.
Otherwise, the methods used would be so cruel and the intentions so vicious.
He couldn't forgive himself, but what he didn't expect was...
Just then, Shen Na immediately sent someone to report to him.
"Reporting to the Grand Preceptor, we have discovered signs of an attack 70 miles outside the city."
"Through observation, it was eventually discovered that it was actually an army."
"Moreover, the number exceeds fifty thousand. Please make preparations, Your Excellency."
As expected? They've started preparing for desperate measures.
Initially, Tang Yu was worried that the enemy's army of 50,000 men would lie low.
After all, the Qin state of today is not like the Tang Dynasty of later generations, which had various monitoring systems, such as the Sky Eye.
We can only observe them with the naked eye if they are hiding in these mountains and forests.
Even Tang Yu is not easy to deal with.
However, they chose to resort to desperate measures.
In that case, we have no choice but to accept the challenge.
Tang Yu, accompanied by Shen Lang, arrived at Zhao Qiang's place with great speed and efficiency.
He has now been dismissed from his post.
However, all those things he possessed, such as the military command token, were still on him.
Upon realizing Tang Yu's arrival, Zhao Qiang instinctively assumed he was doomed and quickly said...
"Your Excellency, Zhao Qiang knows that his sins are grave and he cannot escape death."
"But I beg you, Grand Preceptor, to spare my wife, children, and elderly parents. They are innocent."
He glanced at Tang Yu, ignored his words, and spoke directly.
"I don't have time to talk to you about this now. Quickly hand over the military command token. Handan City is in danger."
"Ah, what?"
Zhao Qiang immediately felt extremely nervous. To be honest, he didn't really care about Handan City.
The problem is that his entire family is in Handan City. What if something happens in Handan City?
Then congratulations, your wife, children, and elderly parents will be buried with you.
Tang Yu remained silent at this moment, while Shen Lang stood to the side.
As he took the troop deployment token from Zhao Qiang, he briefly recounted what had happened.
Zhao Qiang was then completely dumbfounded.
"What? So it turns out that the nobles in our Handan city are from there."
"Surprisingly, there are still a few who are colluding with those original remnants."
"Moreover, there is an army of more than 50,000 men attacking us."
Tang Yu shook his head this time.
"It's not 50,000 people."
Zhao Qiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, after all, an army of 50,000 was really too much in this peaceful era.
But the next moment, Tang Yu's words nearly gave him a heart attack.
"It was closer to 100,000 people, in addition to their 50,000 main combat troops."
"There are other personnel responsible for supplies, provisions, and logistics, but they are prepared for a decisive battle."
"How could they possibly have any personnel left behind? There's no point in leaving them here anyway."
"They'll definitely be brought to the battlefield for a final, decisive battle."
"Therefore, a conservative estimate is that the other side has approximately 100,000 people."
"His ha——"
Zhao Qiang was dumbfounded and immediately handed his tiger tally to Tang Yu respectfully.
At the same time, he knelt in front of Tang Yu and said.
"My Lord, the city of Handan is in grave danger this time."
"I hope that the Grand Preceptor will do everything in his power to defend my city of Handan."
