Chapter 229 - 229 10 Gains Along the Way【2 in 1】

Chapter 229: Chapter 10: Gains Along the Way【2 in 1】 Chapter 229: Chapter 10: Gains Along the Way【2 in 1】 Has something unexpected happened?

He Xiangming was utterly stupefied.

You guys just leave nonchalantly, which is just fine; but all sorts of bits and pieces have fallen into my lap, leaving me in a state of confusion… extremely anxious…

Should I carry on with the auction as planned or not?

Once everything is sold, will you even come back?

He Xiangming was baffled to the core.

She had never seen such a nonchalant boss, who just dumped everything on her without even organizing things properly, leaving only one note: “We are leaving it to you. We’re going home.”

That’s all to it?

What kind of a handoff was that?

“Damn, what the heck is going on!”

No matter how well He Xiangming conducted herself, she couldn’t hold back her frustration. Her outburst was foul.

…

“Doctor Feng has already left.” Wu Tiejun came to He Bibiqu disgruntled.

“Before leaving, Doctor Feng left me a large parcel of wound medicine.”

Wu Tiejun, with a grim face, finally couldn’t help but grumble.

“I really don’t understand, even if Doctor Feng is the most suitable person for this journey, why is he obligated to risk his life for us? He’s not even a man under our authority. Doctor Feng has done so much for us, the Great Qin. If this battle harms Doctor Feng… the salvation of the Western Army will not make up for the loss!”

“Helping us was Doctor Feng’s generosity, but by doing this, we are only discouraging him, pushing him further away. Even if Doctor Feng chooses to turn his back on us now or later, it would be completely justified.”

Wu Tiejun slammed the table, “Sir, we are acting without any bit of conscience!”

“Wu Tiejun! Watch your language!”

He Bibiqu erupted in anger.

This Chief Commander still has his typical lofty temperament… He even dares to insult me in front of my face…

What an outrageous audacity he has!

“Do you think I wanted this?!”

He Bibiqu calmly said: “Don’t I know that this is an act of moral exploitation? That it annihilates conscience? But the situation is pressing. Should we simply do nothing and abandon the Western Army, just like the rumors that we were abandoning Yuezhou City?”

“The situation now is that Old Kong is not sufficient for the task. Whether he can reach the Western Army is secondary, as I fear that he is not capable enough to save Marshal Ma and his brother. Only Doctor Feng is the most suitable person for this journey who can possibly turn the tide!”

“Wu Tiejun, remember, you are a soldier, and the outcome of this battle affects the future wellbeing of the entire Great Qin.”

“Under these circumstances, we don’t have space to think otherwise. I believe Doctor Feng must have considered this too, which is why he decided to undertake the journey despite knowing the difficulty.”

He Bibiqu emphatically said: “At this point in time, we must prioritize the defense of the western border as the top priority of this battle! Everything else must be sacrificed, regardless of morality, rank, or status!”

“Doctor Feng is a rare talent and a beacon of hope for our people in Great Qin. However, if we lose this battle, the western border won’t have any defense to rely on, and the Yan Army can easily invade the Central Capital. By then, not to mention future hopes, we won’t even have any hope left.”

“If Old Kong goes, it’s uncertain whether he can save Ma Daocheng, but if Doctor Feng goes, he definitely will!”

“Furthermore, Old Kong’s movement is likely accounted for by the Yan Army, the possibility that he can reach the frontline is close to nil!”

“But Doctor Feng’s chances of reaching the Western Army are at least thirty percent!”

“Even this slim chance of thirty percent cannot be given up because it is our only hope!”

“I absolutely do not want to have a guilty conscience by engaging in such an abhorrent act, but the current situation forces me to make this decision with a ruthless heart. Therefore, I can’t take into account all your considerations.”

“Even if this battle has to be fought at the cost of betraying Doctor Feng’s grace and covering everyone at Heavenly Clothes with guilt for their entire lives, I will not hesitate.”

He Bibiqu clenched his teeth and said, “Victory is the only standard!”

Wu Tiejun glared and said, “But Doctor Feng is not a soldier. He shouldn’t bear this risk!”

“But he is a citizen of Great Qin! As part of Great Qin, he has his obligations!”

Seeing that Wu Tiejun wanted to argue further, He Bibiqu suddenly slammed the table and roared in fury, “Enough, Wu Tiejun! Stop beating around the bush with me. All your gibberish is just for easing your own guilt. Let me ask you, I order Doctor Feng not to go. I want you to deliver the message, telling Doctor Feng not to take the risk! Will you do it? Do you dare?”

“I…”

Wu Tiejun was taken aback. He didn’t dare to, moreover, he couldn’t do it!

“Are you chickening out now? Weren’t you the agent of justice? Why are you acting like a pussy when things are coming to a head? Weren’t you the one worried about Doctor Feng’s safety? Weren’t you the conscience-keeper? Why don’t you, Wu Tiejun, go fetch Doctor Feng back? Why don’t you stop Doctor Feng from taking the risk?!”

“Stop acting like a high and mighty leech in front of me!”

He Bibiqu angrily pointed at the door, “Get out! Out! Out now! So, only you, Wu Tiejun, stands for justice? Only you can defend the weak and vulnerable? Only you know how to repay kindness? Only you have a conscience?!”

“Get the hell out of my sight!”
