surnamed Wang

Chapter 308 The Dust Settles
It took some time for the news to spread from the capital to Zhongzhou, and it was during this time that Zhao Hu attacked from the bottom of Girl Mountain to the top of the mountain.

After Zhao Hu spent nearly [-] troops, he finally won this difficult bone. The small Wangshi village was crowded with thousands of imperial troops.

The owner of the village, Bai Zijing, broke the boat a long time ago and ordered people to cut off the only elevator leading down the mountain, but even so, the enemy troops from the bottom of the mountain continued to rush towards the top of the mountain along the steep slope.

……

At the beginning of the war, several rounds of rolling stones rolled over and indeed took thousands of lives.

But as the battle progressed, the rolling stones and logs were exhausted, and even the stones used to build the walls of the cottage were used up, but they still couldn't stop the imperial army from attacking.

After the crowd pushed the only millstone left in the village down the mountain, there was nothing to stop the enemy.

There are dense forests on the hillside, and tigers and leopards often appear in the forest, but facing [-] soldiers who are more ferocious than jackals, even these mountain kings can only hide far away.

On the east side of the cottage, there used to be a thick fence to guard against the beasts in the mountain, but in the battle just now, it was pulled out and pushed down the mountain, and now there is no obstacle in front of the Dynasty army.

As soon as the first group of soldiers poured into Wangshizhai, they immediately bore the brunt and attracted strong resistance from the people on the mountain. Although the entire village was full of soldiers, there were only a few dozen people, but in the situation of waiting for work, they suppressed the vanguard of hundreds of people. .

However, there were too many imperial troops, all over the mountains and plains. Soon, some soldiers broke through the defense and rushed into the village. With a knife in hand, they chopped off the head of a bandit, followed by the second, and the third...

More and more officers and soldiers broke through the defense and came to the top of the mountain. Bai Zijing and others who were commanding at the side also joined the battle at this time. The battlefield was divided into several parts, and there were shouts and hacking sounds everywhere.

Among the people in the cottage, the young Chen Shitou was the most heroic. On weekdays, he always walked around with a long knife in his arms. No one had ever seen him pull out the knife. Retained, the long knife in his hand let go of the slashing, and he showed impressive skills.

The young man didn't know where his strength came from, every strike was astonishing, and he could often cut down two or three people with one strike.

Lu Xiaoxian's apprentice, Xishun, was not inferior in the slightest, with a soft sword flying up and down in his hand, every time he flicked his wrist, he could cut off a person's head.

The performance of the two is exactly in line with the phrase "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth".

"Old Zhang, I'm sorry, I still owe you a jug of wine. It seems that I have to pay it back in my next life."

Xishun lightly removed the head of a soldier, muttering something in his mouth, the soldier still had a shocked expression on his dying face.

During the time in the military camp, Xishun once drank with this person.

"Ugh……"

Not far away, Lu Xiaoxian watched this scene, sighed slightly, and felt guilt welling up in his heart.

……

In a room on the west side of the cottage, an old man and a young man looked towards the battlefield in the east. Although the din of the battle had weakened a lot here, it still touched the young man's heart.

Emperor Xiaocun had a sad face and wanted to open the door several times to go out, but was stopped by the old eunuch Zhou Xuantong.

"Your Majesty, wait for the soldiers and horses left at the bottom of the mountain to attack the top of the mountain again, and this old slave will take you away."

The little emperor frowned slightly, "But how many people will die for nothing?"

"The emperor is merciful. It is their honor to be loyal to His Majesty." The old eunuch said respectfully.

Emperor Xiaocun shook his head and lamented:

"Boss Zhou, they are different from you.

These people were originally soldiers of the dynasty. They were supposed to protect their families and defend the country, and they were praised and praised, but now they have to be bandits in this village, doing things that hurt nature and reason, and are cast aside by the world.

They have endured humiliation for 20 years, not only did they not get any rewards, but now they have to die for me. It is impossible for human beings to have no complaints. I have a guilty conscience. It is the Wang family who are sorry for them! "

"Having such an emperor is a blessing for our slaves."

The old eunuch served three generations of emperors, but he still couldn't help the redness in his eyes.

While the master and servant were talking, a group of people rushed towards this side quickly, and the leader was none other than Huaiwu General Zhao Hu.

When the two sides were fighting just now, he hid behind and watched carefully for a long time, but he did not find any trace of Emperor Xiao Cun. He guessed that he should be hiding somewhere in the cottage, so he led a team to search for him.

Although the people on the west side of the mountain had noticed the situation here, they were surrounded by a large number of dynasty legions, and they tried their best to deal with it reluctantly, and they couldn't spare their lives to come to support.

Seeing that the search team was getting closer and closer, the master and servant could not wait for the best opportunity, so they rushed out of the room and headed towards the cliff on the east side.

Emperor Xiaocun was young and thin, and was directly carried by the old eunuch Zhou Xuantong. The two of them were spotted by the imperial army as soon as they rushed out of the room, and the whole team immediately chased after them.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuantong in the realm of Martial Immortal snorted coldly, and casually sprinkled countless silver needles. Zhao Hu yelled "get down" when he saw this, and immediately prostrated himself on the ground.

The surrounding soldiers followed suit and quickly crawled down. Among them, some who reacted a little slower were directly pierced into the body by the silver needle, screaming again and again.

Zhao Hu was furious, with blood running through his eyes, he stood up and shouted:

"Let's go, old eunuch!"

Having lived for so many years, Zhou Xuantong has long been accustomed to this kind of unsophisticated ridicule, and without stopping, he jumped off the cliff with Emperor Xiaocun on his back.

Zhao Hu came to the edge of the cliff, "Chase!"

Seeing the drop of nearly a thousand feet, the soldiers couldn't help swallowing. If it falls, the whole body will not be left behind. How can we chase after it? .

Zhao Hu looked at the cut-off elevator next to him, gritted his teeth, tied the rope around his waist, and flew down. Seeing this, his subordinates hurriedly manipulated the rollers to prevent his general from being smashed to pieces.

Zhou Xuantong was almost stepping down the vertical cliff. He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hu who jumped down after him, and his eyes changed for the first time.

No wonder the rebellious minister Wang Bingde can be called the emperor. With such subordinates, why not worry about things?But he could only think for himself.

Wang Qingquan was not present, otherwise he would have to say something when he saw this scene:
"I originally thought Lu Bu was invincible, but I didn't expect someone to be braver than him. Whose general is this?"

……

On the east side of the mountain, the battle has come to an end.

Most of the "bandits" in the stockade died under the saber of the dynasty. How could the Zhongzhou garrison who had been ordered to clear up the bandits know that the one who died under their saber was Junzhong Paoze.

The Bai family army stationed at Girl Mountain, from the day they accepted the emperor's order, was doomed to be unable to rectify their names in this life, and their descendants were doomed to bear the notoriety of "sons of bandits".

Compared with those soldiers who were buried in the battlefield and shrouded in horse leather, isn't this a kind of sadness?

The few people surrounded by the dynasty's army in the center were almost all wounded, and the two teenagers who had been fighting at the forefront from the beginning to the end could hardly stand, and could only support each other.

"Shitou, have you ever been to the capital?" Xishun asked his companion who blocked him from the knife.

The latter grinned, showing his white teeth, and said to Xishun who also saved him once:

"I want to go, but Yu Niang doesn't want to leave the cottage."

"You are a big man, you are too useless to listen to women in everything."

"My master said, this is not cowardice, this is love." The boy holding a half-cut knife in his hand retorted.

"Then Master and Mistress must be very in love with each other?"

"No." Shitou shook his head, "Master, he has been a bachelor all his life."

Bai Yuniang looked at this young man who had nothing to do with the cottage but was implicated in it because of herself. For the first time, Bai Yuniang felt moved. She walked forward slowly and gently bandaged his wound.

Seeing this, the boy smiled even more happily than before.

Lu Xiaoxian also dragged his exhausted body to Xishun's side and acted as a crutch for his apprentice.

Bai Zijing and Zhuang Baolu also took a step forward and came to the side of their daughter and their loved one.

The surrounding dynasty army gradually approached, raising the saber in their hands, and the few remaining people in the cottage all raised their heads, waiting for the sharp blade to come.

At this moment, a flock of frightened sparrows flew from the east, and a post officer came from the capital. After running to death three fast horses, he finally passed the imperial decree to Girl Mountain.

……

On the Gobi Desert in the west, Xu Erniang's steamed stuffed bun shop is always full of customers. These rough guys who don't eat buns but only look at buns, the greatest joy every day is being able to tell Xu Erniang a few non-vegetarian jokes.

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and the mountains and rivers support people. Not to mention the young lady who came out of a rich family, just a young man who is randomly pulled out on the street has a frighteningly pale face.

On the other hand, in the northwest, not only the wind and sand can choke people to death, but even the skin of the girl is worn out, and it is rare to keep it smooth and tender after thirty.

Xu Erniang is a special case. Although she is half a hundred years old and her face is still covered with a thick layer of makeup, she is rare and fair here, especially her round buttocks, which no man can hold back.

It seems that the two young people who have been patronizing here since a few days ago, most likely came here for this flirtatious lady. The old mistress trembled wildly.

Seeing the two face each other, the few thieves in the store who only dared to act presumptuously in the desert but did not dare to find fault in the store felt malicious, and wanted to intercept the two of them halfway. It would be best if they could make a fortune. The two poor ghosts will be buried in the yellow sand at worst.

In the Gobi Desert, there are not necessarily fewer people under the sand than above.

About a year ago, the biggest thieves in the Gobi Desert suddenly disappeared. Many small gangs that had been suppressed by the opponent all the year round had a chance to breathe.

The thieves who were targeting the two young men right now were one of them. The scale was not too large, but they also had a lot of lives on their hands. Because their hands and feet were clean, they were not caught by the defenders.

……

After paying the bill, the two young men left the shop, one person and one horse, and headed west as usual.Several thieves in the store looked at each other, and went out to follow in a tacit understanding.

According to the location of the few days, the two people would go to the border every time for a stroll, and then return to the city before dark. Not only did they not have bodyguards, they didn't even bring a weapon.

They felt more and more that the two of them were fledglings who didn't know much about the world, probably because of the sour frontier scenes like "Lonely Smoke in the Desert" that they came to this silly Gobi Desert.

In the eyes of these thieves who have lived here for generations, the most spectacular scene on the Gobi Desert is Xu Erniang's chest. As for the yellow sand, it is just a good place to bury people.

A group of ten people was fifty steps behind the two riders in front. When they walked out of the Gobi Desert and came to the place where the sky was full of yellow sand, they dismounted their horses and rushed towards the two of them roaring.

The two people in front turned their horses' heads when they heard the sound, but they didn't panic at all. Ten thieves surrounded them with a single sprint.

Ten inferior horses paced back and forth around the two of them, breathing heavily, while the two horses in the center breathed steadily and looked radiant.

"Oh, two fine horses."

Among the thieves, there are obviously people who know the goods.

"Then snatch the horses together." A man who looked like a leader said.

The young man who had never spoken at all finally spoke, "Do you dare to rob us if you know who we are?"

A dark-faced man grinned and said, "I don't care who you are? Even if your father is the emperor, you have to be buried here today."

Unexpectedly, the man actually laughed out loud, "You really guessed it right."

As soon as the words fell, dozens of riders suddenly rushed out from all around, and surrounded ten people in the middle.

The ten thieves immediately looked horrified. They have been galloping in the Gobi Desert for so many years, and they really can't figure out where this group of people came from, and judging from the style of their armor, they are undoubtedly the garrison.

"Something that doesn't know how to live or die."

A man who looked like a general among dozens of riders spoke in a deep voice, and then he clamped his horse's belly and rushed forward with a knife.

The ten thieves who were accustomed to running wild in the desert didn't even know that they had offended anyone, so they were all beheaded by their horses.

The general wiped off the blood on the knife, put away the knife and came in front of the two young men, and said with a smile:
"General, this is already the fifth group of thieves in the past half month."

The man he called the general nodded and turned to look west. At the end of the horizon, a stream of black sand was slowly coming towards this side. After looking carefully, he found out what kind of black sand it was. Soldiers in black armor.

The man murmured:
"Finally home."

……

In Qu Xianwei, the yellow sand thrown down by the thousands of black armored soldiers could reach a small hill. In the barracks in the middle of the guard, Ah Xiu looked excitedly at his general.

Wang Bingru, who had just killed a group of thieves at the border, showed helplessness and said:

"It looks like you had a lot of fun killing this time."

"That is, can you not be happy to lead the dynasty army into the capital of the Western Red Kingdom?"

Axiu looked at Sariyang who was on the side, and raised his chin, as if he was showing off his power, but the latter chose to ignore it.

"By the way, General, Princess Apu invites you to meet at the border tomorrow." Seeing that Sariyang didn't respond, Ah Xiu stopped making fun of himself, but talked about business.

"No." Wang Bingru directly refused.

"what?"

Ashiu obviously didn't expect to get such an answer.

"It's not the general, I promised her, you can save me."

"Since you agreed, then you can go."

After Wang Bingru finished speaking, he turned around and went out the door.

Shali Yang on the side joked with a half-smile at this moment:

"What advantage did that empress give you to pass this letter?"

"Can I talk to you?"

"Cut, what's the air? If I were to lead the troops, I would have returned half a month ago."

"You deserve it too?"
