Chapter 2

(10)

Her heart was full of regrets, mixed feelings, all kinds of secret reports in the army, all said that this emperor's grandson is a young genius, especially good at military affairs, and even better at strategy. Gathering all the praises for her, she praised the emperor and grandson young master to be right in the world in the future, but she didn't expect it to be another way of blinding her eyes, which deeply misled her.

This Zhao Youde was dismissed from the Zhenxi Army five years ago and returned to the field. Five years ago, this person was still in the Zhenxi Army, so he didn't know the status of the emperor's grandson, so he called him a little bastard.

She thought about how many times she had fought against this person, each time she was narrowly victorious, not even a narrow victory, but each had its own winners and losers. It turned out to be him! He is indeed the one who framed and killed Yu Liao's tens of thousands of troops. She was very regretful in her heart, and thought that he turned out to be Li Yi, no wonder he was so outstanding, in his identity, but under the guise of Pei Yuan, he went to Guo Zhi's army, this man's courage and bearing can be called a top man. This son is cunning and cannot be an enemy. These eight words flashed across her heart like lightning.

Thinking about Shicai's nonsense, saying that he is Li Yi's concubine, he feels even more annoyed, thinking that he shouldn't have said such Meng Lang's words, and I don't know how this person thinks about himself. But the words have already been spoken, and it is useless to regret, but this person has fought against him several times, and he has been entangled with Guo Zhijun until now, and he has not revealed a single flaw. Hearing him calling him one by one, I don't know how to be proud. Hateful. Annoyed in her heart, she said nothing at the moment. Only Zhao Youde was yelling: "Untie it! Quickly untie it! This is my brother in the Zhenxi Army!"

A bandit had already stepped forward to untie the rope for Li Yi, so Zhao Youde embraced Li Yi with his remaining hand, smiled proudly and said to the crowd: "This is my brother from the scout team back then, when we went deep into Moxi together. , to spy on the military situation of the Ying people, before a total of twelve people touched the king's tent, only he and I came back alive. I lost an arm, and Shi Qilang carried me across the entire desert and returned to the camp. He is my savior!"

All the thieves felt their hearts agitated, and they looked at Li Yi with awe and admiration.

Li Yizao supported Zhao Youde and said, "Second brother Zhao, a fellow soldier in the army, how can you say such unreasonable words?"

Zhao Youde was still surprised and happy, he hugged him and asked: "Brother, why are you here? Why do they say you are the emperor's grandson's guard? When did you serve as the emperor's grandson's guard?"

Li Yi knew that he didn't know his identity when he left Zhenxi Army, otherwise he couldn't have scolded himself a few bastards affectionately today, and then smiled and covered it up: "Second brother Zhao, the queen and grandson will leave after you leave." Went to the Zhenxi Army, and now Huangsun is the Marshal of the Zhenxi Army."

Zhao Youde couldn't help being angry: "What kind of emperor's grandson is also worthy to be the marshal of our Zhenxi Army!"

Li Yi couldn't help but choked, Fangzheng wanted to speak nonsense, when he suddenly heard the Qing Lingling voice of Colonel He on the ground, "Did you hear that, they are scolding you..." He purposely elongated his voice, pronounced his words very heavily, and just said Say the following words: "Where is the master of..."

Li Yi saw her wonderful eyes, as clear as autumn water, staring at him, the fire from the brazier was reflected in her eyes, she seemed angry but not angry, happy but not happy, resentful but not resentful, but the eyes flowed, saying no There is a kind of cuteness, and I don't know why, but I feel a little bit ashamed. Knowing that she must have known his real identity, before he could answer, he suddenly heard Huang Youyi say: "Shut up!" He shouted: "Tie this girl aside! Don't let her be an eyesore! Quickly grab the wine and the meat Come, entertain Seventeen Lang! Entertain our best brother!"

All the thieves agreed with a loud bang, and arranged them in a hurry. After a while, a dozen or so tables with missing legs and cracked faces were set up in the grass hall, and several fires were set up to roast all kinds of wild game hunted in the mountains, as well as smoked boars, pheasants, and wild animals caught in the mountain stream. Among the fish and shrimps they got, someone even brought out several large jars of dirty wine, found a stack of large rough pottery bowls, and filled them with wine. Everyone yelled and feasted together.

Then Huang Youyi took Zhang Youren and others, and asked Li Yi to take the top position, but Li Yi said: "Second brother Zhao is the head, let second brother Zhao sit on it." Zhao Youde never understood these things, let alone in the cottage, he didn't Not sticking to such common etiquette, he smiled and said: "You are a new brother, you are considered a guest today, you can sit here." Then he pressed Li Yi on the seat with his one arm, and he was also there at the moment. Li Yi sat down on his side, Huang Youyi and others also sat down, raised the wine bowl and drank a bowl first.

Although the wine was turbid wine, the taste was not good, but at this time of gathering, everyone was happy, and they were all bandits drinking from big bowls, so they didn't care whether the wine was good or bad. Zhao Youde finished drinking with his face up, put down the wine bowl, and said with a smile, "Happy! Happy!" Seeing Li Yi's figure and appearance, compared with when they parted five years ago, he has naturally grown a lot, and his brows have also added a bit of determination. Well, he must have been quite experienced in the military over the past few years. Suddenly remembering that when he first arrived at Laolan Pass, he was still a childish half-child, so he smiled and said: "You boy, I was injured too badly back then, I couldn't see it, you just wanted to trick me out of the Gobi Gobi with you by surviving." , kept bragging to me along the way, saying that your father is a landlord in Jiangbei, that his family has sixteen acres of fertile land and four top-quality cattle, as long as I live, I will take me to your house when I get old Enjoy the blessing, eat white rice every day, sit on the ridge of the field and watch your cattle grazing..."

Li Yi recalled the past of concealing his identity in the army, sighed a lot, and smiled with a complicated expression. Before he could speak in the future, he heard Xiaowei He sneer at him on the ground: "He said his father was a landlord in Jiangbei, do you really believe that?" ?"

Zhao Youde laughed, and said: "Of course I don't believe it! If he is the son of the landlord's family, I will be the second uncle of the emperor."

Hearing his words, Li Yi choked on a mouthful of wine and coughed continuously.

He only heard Xiaowei He's cold sarcasm: "Based on this, your seniority is really high."

Zhao Youde said impatiently: "You girl, don't gossiping here, and I'll have your tongue cut off!"

But seeing Huang Youyi standing up holding the wine bowl, he said loudly: "I, Huang Youyi, respect courageous and resourceful heroes the most. After hearing what my second brother said today, I realized that Shi Qilang is the hero who guards the border and beats tattooed people." I even saved the life of my second brother, today I was rude!" After saying that, he left the banquet, holding the wine bowl and was about to bow his knees to Li Yi to apologize.

Li Yi quickly got up and supported Huang Youyi: "I said it was a misunderstanding, don't mention it again! Drink! Drink!"

Seeing his arrogance, the gangsters responded immediately when they saw his arrogance, everyone raised their wine bowls and drank the wine in the bowls.

Only then did Zhao Youde remember to ask Li Yi: "By the way, Shiqi Lang, where are you from and where are you going?" Qian Youdao held the wine jar attentively, poured wine for Li Yi, and said, "Seventeen Lang is going to escort the emperor's grandson's concubine to Wangzhou."

Zhao Youde couldn't help but put the wine bowl on the table and scolded angrily: "I just said that the emperor's grandson is nothing! The enemy is currently only thinking about women!"

Hearing this, Li Yi could only smile wryly. Zhao Youde was still angry, he slapped his palm on the table again, and said angrily: "What kind of princes and grandsons are there, there is no good thing! After I was injured, the imperial court originally gave me 20 acres of farmland, so I went home to grow food. I didn't expect the imperial court to deceive people, just fabricated a pretext, took my land, and dedicated it to the emperor's son as a royal estate. My old mother starved to death, and I had nowhere to go, so I had to go to Mingdai Village."

When Li Yi saw him, he wondered why he was in Mingdai Mountain when he returned home after disarming his armor. After hearing what he said, he realized that such a thing happened. They dare to take away the field of life given to veterans, it is really lawless!"

Zhao Youde sneered and said: "We are working hard in Laolan Pass, they are extorting money, and the emperor's old son surnamed Li doesn't have a good thing!"

Hearing his words, Xiaowei He suddenly had to ask: "Then Sun Jing's rebellion is justified?"

Zhao Youde was furious, he slapped the table again, and said angrily: "Then Sun Jing is not a thing, although the emperor is greedy for money and food and collects rent, the common people live in a more miserable life, but he can still struggle to survive, then Sun Jing is absolutely cruel. Human nature, Sun Jing rebelled, our entire village was trampled by his army, countless men, women, old and children were killed, and now we don't know if there are any people alive in our village!" When he said this, his voice could not help but choke sound. He left home when he was young, and later he was disarmed and returned home. Although his mother died of starvation, there were still many relatives and relatives in the village. It was only when he came to Daishan that he realized that his village had been completely wiped out by Sun Jing's army and turned into ruins.

Huang Youyi said: "Brothers here, everyone has bitterness. Whether it's Li Zuotian, or that old thief surnamed Sun, they don't give us a way to survive. We have no choice but to go up the mountain and become robbers."

Zhao Youde grabbed Li Yi's hand with one palm, with an excited expression on his face, he said: "Shiqi Lang, why don't you stay and enjoy yourself in the cottage with us."

Huang Youyi said: "Yes! We regard you as the eldest brother!"

All the bandits suddenly burst into a commotion, stood up one after another, bowed to Li Yi and saluted in one voice: "Brother!"

Li Yi hurriedly said: "No, no..."

Huang Youyi said: "Brother, don't give in! I will accept you as our eldest brother! Today is a good day, and we will burn incense and get married. Don't go back to the Zhenxi Army and serve some grandson." He Xiaowei, who was tied up, said: "We are sworn brothers today, so we will kill this girl to sacrifice to heaven."

When Qian Youdao heard the words, he quickly handed over the knife, and Huang Youyi took the long knife. He Xiaowei heard that he was going to kill himself to sacrifice to heaven, but he didn't look too flustered, he just glanced at Li Yi. Huang Youyi took a step forward and raised his saber to stab He Xiaowei in the neck.

Li Yi hurriedly stopped him: "I can't kill you!"

Huang Youyi was greatly surprised, turned to look at Li Yi, and asked, "Why can't you kill him?"

Ten thousand thoughts had already turned in Li Yi's mind, obviously there were several reasons to persuade the gangsters in front of him not to kill this person, but for some reason, he gave the most absurd reason. He hesitated, as if he had something to say: "Because... because... Although she is the emperor's grandson's concubine, we are in love with each other. She is my sweetheart. This time, we finally found a chance and eloped together." of."

But Guo Zhi, as Li Yi had expected, lost Wangzhou City and was set on fire by the Zhenxi army and set fire to the camp. Fortunately, he has been stationed in Wangzhou for many years, and he is very familiar with the surrounding terrain. He knows that there is a group of bandits in Mingdai Mountain. This time he was in such a state of desperation, he had to kill these bandits, and then occupy this Mingdai village to recuperate. As for the future, he had to wait and see after he recuperated.

Guo Zhi was depressed. He was a veteran general in the Shuoxi army. He fought with Sun Jing for many years. Sun Jing conspired against him, so he naturally joined Sun Jing and guarded Wangzhou City. Blocked on the Guanxi Road, he didn't want to lose everything with a careless move, and was completely defeated by Li Yi's calculations, and he had to compete with a group of grassroots bandits for the cottage. But he has always been an expert in the use of soldiers. After several consecutive attacks, he saw that the bandits were in a mess and was about to be unable to resist. Suddenly, the bandits seemed to have a plan. A regiment seemed to be in disarray, but it actually had the essentials of the art of war. After fighting for another half an hour, not only failed to capture the stockade, but also lost many generals.

Guo Zhi was secretly surprised, thinking that among the bandits, there are actually powerful people who know the art of war? But the bandits are a mess after all, and they lack drills on a daily basis. Although there are some people who line up troops, they are by no means comparable to the well-trained officers and soldiers. Moreover, although Guo Zhi led the remnants, there are more than ten thousand soldiers. He personally supervised them. , led the elite soldiers as the vanguard, and sure enough the bandits couldn't resist, some were hacked and killed by the officers and soldiers, and some turned around and ran away. He was so energetic that he led the people to attack the cottage in one go.

Huang Youyi, Zhao Youde and others, according to Li Yi's arrangement, withdrew from the mountain path to the back mountain. Huang Youyi personally took Li Yi and He Xiaowei to the edge of the cliff, pulled up an ancient vine on the edge of the cliff, and said: Climb down this vine, and you will be by the river."

Zhao Youde said: "No one knows the way to go down this cliff except the brothers in the village." He urged Li Yi to go first. Li Yi asked, "What about you?"

Zhao Youde raised his single arm and said, "I can't go down the mountain from here. We will go down the other path. Although it is a longer detour, it is also very secretive. Don't worry."

Li Yi thought for a while, but took out a rope from his bosom, couldn't help but tie Zhao Youde to his body, Zhao Youde was still yelling and struggling, Li Yi had already cast a wink at He Xiaowei, she understood, and waved her hand , A thin needle pierced Zhao Youde's neck, and he fell into a coma as soon as he drooped his head.

Huang Youyi was speechless: "This... this..."

Li Yi laughed and said: "Second brother Zhao was afraid that he would hurt me, and time was running out, so he stabbed him unconscious. I will carry him down the mountain."

Right now Huang Youyi descended the vine first, followed by Li Yi carrying Zhao Youde, everyone climbed the vine one after another, without any danger, they all descended from the cliff to the bottom of the mountain safely. When he landed, Zhao Youde hadn't recovered from the medicine and was still drowsy, so Li Yi untied the rope, put him down gently, and said to Huang Youyi: "Brother Huang, I have to trouble you, bring Second Brother Zhao with these brothers. Go to Wangzhou and join the Zhenxi Army."

Huang Youyi nodded, and couldn't help but ask, "What about you?"

Li Yi said: "I and..." He looked at Xiaowei He, but felt that it was inappropriate to say such frivolous words at this time, so he said: "I and this lady... did something wrong, so it is inconvenient to go back to the Zhenxi Army at this time Go, we can only try our best to make up for our mistakes, we are going to the Dingsheng Army, if we can raise rations for the Zhenxi Army, we will have the face to go back to see our colleagues in the Zhenxi Army."

Huang Youyi thought about it, this person abducted the emperor's grandson's concubine to elope, and it was really inconvenient to go to Wangzhou with everyone to join the Zhenxi Army. You have a good idea, thinking about the emperor's grandson, there is no woman of any kind, if you can earn a lot of credit for the Zhenxi army, the emperor's grandson will naturally not be stingy with a daughter."

Li Yi just smiled slightly when he heard his words, while He Xiaowei rolled his eyes at him in his heart, but naturally kept his expression on. Saying goodbye to everyone, the gangsters went to Wangzhou City to join the Zhenxi Army, while Li Yi and He Xiaowei chose another path to go out of the mountain.

After all the gangsters had gone far away, Captain He sneered: "The emperor's grandson has done his best to get away from the stronghold, and he still refuses to return to Wangzhou. He will hold me hostage to ask for rations from the Dingsheng army."

Li Yihun didn't care: "You took away the rations of our Zhenxi army, and I asked you for it, isn't that justified?"

She didn't want to spend any more time with this person, so she turned her head and left, Li Yi didn't seem to catch up. The wound on her leg was painful, and the dense forest made it difficult to walk. After a long time, she was exhausted from walking, so she chose a rock and sat down to rest for a while. Li Yi suddenly appeared from nowhere, holding a few bunches of berries in his hand, he glanced at her while eating, and handed a bunch of berries in front of her.

She shook her head and said, "I really can't move anymore. Your Royal Highness, you should go back to your Wangzhou City as soon as possible."

Li Yi was still smiling like that, and said: "You are my concubine, how can I leave you alone?"

She said angrily: "If you continue to speak so frivolously, I will kill you."

Li Yi smiled and said, "Look at you, you have the strength to kill, but you don't have the strength to walk." She shook her head and said, "I really can't walk anymore, so you can think of a way. Anyway, I won't go." Li Yi Nie thought for a while and said, "There is a way, but you have to cooperate with me."

She finally gave him a fixed look with her wonderful eyes, and asked, "Cooperate? How to cooperate?"

At that moment, Li Yi looked around, identified the direction, led her through the mountains, and then down a gurgling stream. After walking for more than half an hour, he suddenly saw a small road, turned around the top of the mountain, and appeared in the middle of the mountain. A fence surrounds a small mud mud house, covered with thatch, it is a farmhouse.

When he got closer, suddenly a yellow dog rushed out and barked at the two of them. Li Ni went up to meet him, but the dog rushed over and bared its teeth at him. He reached out and touched the dog's head, but the dog whimpered Then retreated. Bamboo poles were hung horizontally in the yard of the farmhouse, on which were some half-old coarse clothes with patches on them to dry.

Li Yi climbed over the low fence, startling the chickens in the courtyard and running away. He reached out his hand and quietly took the clothes away from the bamboo pole, chose a woman's clothes, and gave them to Xiaowei He, saying: "There is no one in the room, you go in and change, I will wait for you outside."

She took the clothes and went into the house to have a look, only to see that the farmhouse was extremely simple, with only a few mud bricks in the house, covered with bamboo boards, which looked like a bed. Now she was sitting on the couch, quietly rolled up her trousers, and saw that although the cloth strip binding the wound was wound several times, it was already bleeding. Take a breath. But the wound medicine she was carrying was washed away in the river long ago, and she couldn't think of any other way, so she went to the stove to find plant ash, applied it on the wound, and tore off a piece of her skirt again, The wound is tied up.

It is said that Li Yi went to the back mountain to find two pheasants, broke the necks of the pheasants, brought them back and put them on the stone mill in front of the farmhouse as a reward for taking clothes. Seeing Captain He enter the house to change his clothes and stay out for a long time, he crossed his arms and leaned against the tree in the yard with a blade of grass in his mouth. Looking up at the sky, he saw long white clouds and bright autumn sun Feel warm and comfortable. He waited for a while, and seeing that there was still no movement in the room, he couldn't help urging: "Are you ready?"

I only heard her reply in the room: "That's all right."

He clicked his tongue impatiently, and said, "Don't you just change your clothes? Why are you dawdling like embroidery?"

As soon as the words fell, she only heard her say: "I've changed, let's go."

He turned his head to look, but saw her in a green dress and a yellow skirt, coming out of the house. Although the clothes are made of coarse cloth, when she wears them, they are really cloth clothes that can not hide the beauty of the country, and it makes her skin like jade, her eyes like water, and a wild flower on her temples, which is charming, bright and generous.

He didn't realize it for a moment, the grass stalks in his mouth slipped silently and fell to the ground.

She hadn't dressed up for her daughter's house for a long time, but because she had been in the army for a long time, she suddenly changed into such a makeup, and she also felt in a daze, and her gestures and movements were slightly strange. I took a picture of the shadow with a water tank, and just walked out of the house, but when he saw him, his eyes were full of surprise. It seemed wrong to say that he was surprised. Apart from surprise, his eyes seemed to be like a prince sometimes. Looking at her, there is actually a slight hint of intoxication. She was still thinking about it, when she suddenly heard him say: "You look so good-looking!" Her heart moved, and she hadn't thought about how to answer it, but who knew that he stepped forward to hold her hand, and she didn't think about it for a while , In the end, if you want to break free from his hand, you have already been pulled into the house by his hand.

He pulled her to the stove, and she couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, only to see that he picked up the pot in the stove, turned it over and put it on the stove, touched the bottom of the pot with his fingers, and wiped it on her face. superior.

She couldn't dodge, was smeared with pot ashes, and said angrily: "What are you doing?"

Li Yi said: "You want to pretend to be a peasant woman, do you look like a peasant woman?" He spoke with confidence, but a trace of guilt flashed in his heart. He knew that she looked very good-looking in such a dress, but deep down he felt that he didn't want others to do the same. Seeing her such a pretty appearance, but when she said it, it turned out to be something else: "When you are in troubled times, when you are walking on the road, you look handsome. If someone sees evil thoughts and causes trouble, let alone Good to get away."

She suddenly realized, and complained: "Then if you didn't say it earlier, it would cause me to wash my face for a long time."

At that moment, he wiped a few more on her face, and she faced the water tank and spread the pot ashes away, only to make her skin slightly black and red, really like a village woman in the mountains. Suddenly Li Yi took a few handfuls of straw from the stove and weaved them into a dustpan, then found a piece of coarse cloth, stuffed the straw dustpan into the cloth, made a bulging cloth bundle, and handed it to her.

She asked puzzledly: "What are you doing?" He only heard him say: "You stuff it inside your clothes and tie it up." She was still puzzled and stared at him blankly. Yuanyuan's eyes widened like a kitten, and she couldn't help teasing: "You are tied in your clothes, so you can pretend to be a pregnant woman! You have a big belly, so you can borrow a car for your husband. You don't want to go Is it? Let me take the car for my husband."

He took one husband, she rolled her eyes at him greatly, and then tied the fake stomach made of straw under her clothes as promised. After the two of them tidied up a bit, Li Yi led her down the mountain for half an hour. Sure enough, he saw a few families, and Li Ni asked her to stand on the ridge of the field and go look for the farmer in the field. She saw him talking to the farmer from a distance, and then pointed to her who was standing on the field ridge in the distance. She had no choice but to support her false stomach as if nothing had happened, and lowered her head in a slightly shy manner. After a while, I saw Li Yi driving an ox cart over. The ox was very old and the cart was dilapidated, but at least I borrowed the cart.

At that moment Li Yi helped her into the carriage, holding the whip and holding a grass stalk in his mouth, and sat on the shaft of the carriage. The ox didn't have to drive her away, but just carried the two of them along the mountain road slowly, three steps at a time. Shake, go very slowly.

Although she had a cart, the pain from the wound on her leg was relieved, but the mountain road was rough and difficult to navigate, the ox cart was very old, and there were old cracks on the wheels, and it was not round. After a while, she was bumped very uncomfortable. I also had to concentrate on supporting the fake belly so that it would not fall off and wear it. But seeing that the sun was gradually setting to the west, and if the ox cart really wanted to go to the densely populated place outside the mountain, it would take a few days, so he couldn't help asking: "Can't you go faster?"

Li Yi hugged his whip and said without turning his head: "It's good to have a car, and it's too slow, and I'm not afraid that people will find out that you have a straw belly." She couldn't help holding on to the fake belly when she heard his puns. Leaning up, he extended his arms and slapped Li Yi on the back of the head. He rubbed the back of his head, but still didn't turn his head, just said: "A gentleman speaks but doesn't move." She snorted and said, "I'm not a gentleman, I'm a lady."

But he couldn't help laughing and said: "Look at your appearance, how can you be virtuous and virtuous."

She looked down at her stomach, and finally couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing that she smiled and didn't reply, he asked, "Have you been in Cui's house since you were a child?" When she saw him asking this question, she immediately became wary and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

But Li Yi looked back at her, and said leisurely: "Your surname is He, so you must have parents and family members. I don't know how they are willing to send you to Cui's house." Arriving at Laolan Pass from the capital, he asked, "What about you, you arrived at Laolan Pass at the age of thirteen, how can your parents and family be willing?"

Li Yi suddenly paused, and said: "My mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me. I was born on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. The old customs in Beijing think that if the moon and the day are evil, the birth must be evil. Son, my father doesn't like me because of that. I got into trouble at the time, and the first emperor was so angry that he demoted me to the Zhenxi army." His tone was light, but she could hear the sense of sadness. The family relationship of Tian’s family was weak, and the secret report said that his biological mother came from a humble background and was never liked by the King of Liang. It was considered unlucky for an old woman to die due to dystocia, so she could not be buried in the royal tomb, so she was carried out and buried at will. . King Liang had always treated his son coldly, so he grew up in the palace like a weed. The former emperor had many princes and grandsons, so such an inconspicuous person, in the Zhenxi army, is really like thousands of unknown soldiers. Although he was born and died, he is unknown. After a sudden change, he suddenly soared into the sky and became the world-renowned commander of the Zhenxi Army and the commander of Qin Wang's division.

She saw the setting sun shining on his temples, making his ears faintly blush. I was busy fighting wits with him before, but I didn't notice that the young man was actually dignified and good-looking: the Li family's unique deep eyebrows and eyes, high nose bridge, and always with a jumpy smile on the corners of his lips, his skin was blown by the frontier wind. Slightly black, adding a bit of heroic spirit and free and easy. This is the unique aura of a man who was born in the army. His body seems to have the coolness of iron, like a sword, although it is in the box, there is a faint sharpness and chill.

He didn't look back, but suddenly asked, "What are you looking at me for?" It was as if eyes had grown from the back of his head. She suddenly felt hot in her ears, as if someone was prying into her heart for no reason, but she said: "I see how I can hit you unconscious, so that I can get away and go back to the winning army."

He sneered, as if laughing at her wishful thinking, and she didn't have such ability. Turning her head and giving her a sideways look, she said, "It's extremely difficult on this path, you're going to knock me out, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back alone."

She was dissatisfied, and said, "What's so difficult about this way?" He said, "Didn't you realize that we've been walking for a long time, and haven't met anyone?" "I think there are few people in the mountains, so I haven't met anyone." I just heard him say leisurely: "This road can be regarded as a big road. Since there are no people on the road, there must be some people on the road." The reason."

The four of them slept soundly and slept until the sky gradually dawned, when suddenly they heard the birds in the forest outside the house startled and circled.
Li Yi sat up in shock. The fire in the fire pond was still not extinguished, he listened for a while, and without hesitation, stretched out his hand to shake Captain He awake, and whispered: "Someone is coming."
She was awakened, and sat up in a daze. Before she could speak, the old man was also awakened. He had been hunting in the mountains for a long time, so he got up and went outside to listen. It's probably the officers and soldiers on the official road. Old lady, get up!" Mrs. Yan was also awakened early, and she panicked for a while after hearing what he said.
The old man Yan said: "This group of officers and soldiers are very bad. When they were at the checkpoint yesterday, they specifically interrogated the young men one by one. They said they were looking for someone. When they saw young women, they were even more obsessed with sex. You should stay away." It’s better to avoid it.” At that moment, together with Mrs. Yan, they hugged away the firewood and other debris piled up in the corner of the room, and scraped off the floating soil on the ground, and there was a wooden plank underneath, revealing a small cellar that could only accommodate two people.
The old man Yan said: "This is the cellar I dug for nothing in the early years. It was originally used to store mountain goods. It is just big enough to hide two people. You take your wife down to hide."
Li Yi couldn't help saying: "Old man, it's better for you and mother-in-law to avoid it."
The old man Yan said anxiously: "Those people are lawless, your wife is young, pregnant with a baby and sick, you must not fall into their eyes, hurry up and get out."
Li Ni thought, this group of officers and soldiers came strangely, hearing the sound of horseshoes, they seemed to be carrying heavy armored bows and crossbows, since they focused on interrogating young people, maybe they came for him, maybe they were Guo Zhi's subordinates. If we meet them face to face, although we are not afraid that we will not be able to get away, but we are afraid that it will be disadvantageous to the old couple, so it is better to avoid them for now.
The old man Yan urged again: "My old lady and I are in the mountains every day, those officers and soldiers will not do anything to us, go down quickly."
Seeing that Xiaowei He was in a daze, Li Yi thought that she was seriously injured, if those officers and soldiers came over and saw that the house was poor, only the old couple, they might have searched and left. Immediately, they carried her down to the cellar, the old man Yan and the old woman worked together to build the wooden planks, and piled up the floating soil and dry firewood, and the cellar was suddenly dark.
But they said that those people were really the remnants of Guo Zhi's troops. They captured the stronghold, but found that the bandits had fled long ago and took away all the food and weapons. Guo Zhi was unwilling, so he tortured and interrogated the captured bandits, and finally someone couldn't stand the punishment, and said that someone had indeed arranged a formation during the defense. It was Zhao Youde's good brother in the Zhenxi Army before. I heard it was Seventeen Lang. That Guo Zhi was startled and furious, he couldn't believe it, and he didn't dare not believe it, he never thought that he would run into Li Yi after he had fought a foolish battle to seize the village. After thinking about it, he sent soldiers to set up checkpoints everywhere. Although he didn't expect to catch Li Yi, but since he had already settled in the village, he would arrest young men to serve as soldiers, and robbed money and food as military supplies, so the past few days have been causing chaos all over the country.
At present, the elite soldiers with heavy armor and crossbows stayed outside and surrounded the house tightly. A group of soldiers like wolves and tigers kicked open the dilapidated wooden door. A general led everyone into the house first. The wall was empty, the family was poor, and there was only an old couple. The old woman hid behind her husband, trembling with fear.
General Na Lang tilted his head to signal, all the soldiers searched the house, and found that they couldn't find any valuables, so they kicked over the clay pot, and saw some broken bones in the pot, they shouted that the old couple must have something hidden How can we get the broth if we don’t get rich? The old man Yan hurriedly explained that it was a pheasant hunted on the mountain, and he had already eaten it in the past few days. The soldiers searched around the house again, and saw that there was no other wild game to offer as a tooth sacrifice, so they resentfully said to the general: "General Gao, I didn't see anything."
General Gao Lang took the task of going down the mountain to search and inspect, but Guo Zhi was worried, fearing that Li Yi was really nearby, so he sent his confidant General Xue Lang to accompany him with heavy armored crossbowmen. That General Gao Lang was really suffering, and he couldn't help complaining behind his back. He did all the dirty work, while General Xue Lang relied on being the general's cronies, and every day he brought a heavy armored crossbowman to surround him from a distance. around. However, if some property is looted, it must be given a high-quality share to General Xue Lang, and he dare not keep it privately. In the past two days, he was already full of anger. Seeing that the house was poor and the old man in front of him was too old to be a soldier, he was quite impatient at the moment. He tilted his head to signal, and the soldier pretended to ask: " Have you seen a young man, eighteen or nineteen years old, fair-looking, looks like a scholar. He is an important criminal who cooperates with bandits inside and outside. If you don’t report the knowledge, you will be punished by military law and your head will be cut off. !"
The old man Yan hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Jun, there are no scholars in our towns and villages. When it comes to reading, Mr. Shan in the town can read and read..." Before he finished speaking, the soldier scolded: "What are you talking about?" Pushing the old man Yan to the ground, the lady Yan hurriedly called "Old man", and rushed to help her husband, but was also kicked to the ground by the soldier, causing her to shudder in pain. Call "ouch".
Although the cellar was pitch black, one could still vaguely hear the scolding of the soldiers, the crying of the old woman, etc. One could guess the various situations above. Li Yi heard this moment with concentration, couldn't help but slowly pulled out the dagger from his sleeve, suddenly two cold fingers pressed on the back of his hand, it was Captain He, although he couldn't see anything in the dark, But he knew she was signaling no. He breathed out slowly and silently in the darkness, and listened intently again.
The old man Yan struggled to protect his wife behind him, but a soldier squatted down, patted the lady Yan's face with the back of a knife, and asked, "You and your old man have been drilling around in the mountains all day long, have you ever seen her?" A young man of eighteen or nineteen?"
Although the lady Yan was so frightened that she burst into tears, she said, "Master Jun, I haven't seen it, I really haven't."
The soldier gesticulated on her neck with a knife, and shouted: "You are hunting in the mountains, you can even smell the smell of wolves, tigers and leopards, and you say you have never seen a stranger?"
Old Master Yan said: "Master Jun, we really haven't seen it before!" All the soldiers laughed and cursed, and the soldier said: "If you don't tell the truth, your old lady will die."
In the cellar, Li Yi held the handle of the knife, thinking that there were only about twenty ordinary soldiers up there, but it was hard to hear that there were heavy armored crossbowmen lying in ambush not far from the house. If he broke out by himself, he might not be able to kill all the soldiers in the house immediately, but those heavy armored crossbowmen outside were difficult to deal with. Captain He took them out together? While thinking about it, she suddenly took his hand and wrote on it.
He felt it carefully, her fingers were delicate and smooth, and what she wrote was "Go out and harm them". Although he knew that he couldn't think of a way to deal with the heavy armored crossbowman outside the house, he also wrote on her hand, "I can't just ignore death."
But Gao Lang saw that he couldn't find anything at first, and suddenly saw a medicine bag hanging on the beam, so he signaled with his eyes, and a soldier swung a knife and cut off the medicine bag. A Ganoderma lucidum is still the best purple lucidum. That Gao Lang couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that this Ganoderma lucidum might not be worth hundreds of gold.
But when the old man Yan saw that the ganoderma was found by them, he was angry and anxious, and rushed over to grab it back: "Little old man, I will fight with you!" The soldier pushed him away, and put the knife on his neck. That lady Yan couldn't bear it long ago, and burst into tears. The soldier swung his knife to kill the old couple.
In the cellar, when Li Yi heard this, he raised his hand to push the wooden board above his head, only heard the slight movement of the wind in the darkness, Captain He seemed to rush forward to snatch the knife in his hand, he blocked her, but unexpectedly she snatched the knife. It was a false move, the silent needle in his left hand popped out, piercing the back of Li Yi's neck, his whole body went numb, she caught Li Yi, and pushed him softly against the cellar wall.
Na Gaolang put the Ganoderma lucidum into his arms, he was very happy, suddenly he remembered those heavy armored crossbowmen outside the house, he didn't want such a precious thing to fall into their hands. Then he frowned, thought carefully, stopped the soldiers, and said with a straight face: "Since you are willing to offer herbs to the army today, I will spare your life."
The old man Yan spat, and General Gao Lang was not angry, and said: "Since you don't know anything, and you haven't seen any criminals who colluded with the bandits, come with us back to the camp. After a few days of handyman, I can release you back."
Hearing what he said, old man Yan dared not speak out, knowing that he had been arrested, the soldier kicked him again, cursing and saying: "Our General Gao spared your life, and you don't want to thank you!" Immediately pushing He followed the two of them and pushed them out of the house.
The heavy-armored crossbowman outside the house saw them pushing two gray-haired old men out. General Xue Lang, who was leading the heavy-armored crossbowman, had always been at odds with General Gao Lang. Seeing this situation, he laughed and said: "Gao Lang has run out of skills, what's the use of capturing this old man and old lady?"
That Gao Lang swallowed his anger and said with a smile: "there are few people in the mountains, so I really can't find any strong men. These two old things, go back to work as handymen, chop firewood and cook for the army." After saying this, he got on his horse and pressed his lapel Zizhi in the middle of the night wants to make this windfall of hundreds of gold, but it takes a lot of painstaking efforts.
General Xue Lang saw that only two old men were brought out, so he waved his hand and ordered the heavy armored crossbowmen to withdraw. They tied the old man and wife Yan behind the horse with ropes, and then got on the horse one after another, surrounded by the two generals, and drove off.
He heard the sound of horseshoes going away, and Xiaowei He carefully lifted the wooden plank, held a knife in one hand, and pulled out the small bow and crossbow under his arm with the other, and silently turned up from the cellar. She hid behind the window and looked out carefully, but there was no one outside. She knew that the old couple had been taken away to work as handymen. They should be saved. Immediately, he carefully walked out from the back of the house, step by step, and followed far away in the direction where the soldiers left.
She walked carefully all the way, because of her leg injury, and was afraid of being discovered if she followed too closely, so she walked slowly. After a few moments, she suddenly heard the sound of laughing, cursing and scolding, and those heavily armored crossbowmen seemed to be chasing after her. Hunting, she didn't dare to get too close, and after a while, watching the cavalry scattered away, she hurried forward, and suddenly saw two people lying down in the grass, with a pool of blood under them, it was the old man. couple. She hurried forward, helped the old woman up, and called out in a low voice: "Miss Yan! Mistress Yan." The lady Yan had several arrows in her vest, and she had already died of breath, and the old man who was lying on her body was also He was hit by an arrow on his back, his eyes widened with anger, and he could not rest in peace.
She was terrified and deeply saddened, thinking that last night, Lady Yan was like a loving mother, taking care of her injuries, persuading herself to drink soup carefully and considerately, but she didn't expect that she was only a moment late, and there was no way to save her .
It turns out that Gao Lang will get Zizhi, and he just wants to kill people to silence him. He lied to him that he would take the old couple back to work as handymen. On the way, he suddenly proposed to hunt live animals. General Xue Lang saw that he had been busy for a long time and found nothing. He was worried that he would be punished when he went back. After venting, he readily agreed, untied the old couple from their ropes, chased and played, and then shot and killed them one by one.
They followed Guo Zhi, they had always been under Sun Jing's command, they were used to killing, killing the old couple was like crushing two ants, they didn't care.
However, Li Yi was stabbed by He Xiaowei's needle and fell into a coma for an unknown period of time. Finally, he woke up slowly, lifted the wooden board, and slowly turned up from the cellar silently. Sitting on the ground, he pressed the back of his neck with his hand and shook his head. Suddenly he heard a movement outside the door, he couldn't help reaching out to touch the knife in his sleeve, but the knife was not there, presumably she had taken it away, he gritted his teeth, picked up a thick stick, and dodged behind the door.
He Xiaowei pushed the door open and came in, his figure was erratic and his feet were staggering. Li Yi shot out with a stick, but she was able to block it with a knife.
Li Yi couldn't help asking her: "Where is the person?"
She shook her head, her tone was very calm, and she only said two words: "Dead."
Li Yi was startled and angry, and shouted: "What?"
She said: "I chased them out to check just now, and both of them died."
He looked at the knife in her hand and felt angry: "This is my knife!"
She loosened her finger, and the knife fell to the ground with a clang, and she said flatly, "Return it to you!"
Li Yi said angrily, "If you didn't stun me with a needle, you could have saved them."
She said coldly: "Just now you should have noticed that in addition to the soldiers who broke into the house, there are also a large group of archers ambushing outside the house. The enemy is searching us. If we come out recklessly, we will not be able to save Old Man Yan at all. Husband and wife, they will even kill them immediately!"
Li Yi said: "At that time, if you came out to save them, you might be able to save them, but you didn't want to try, you sophistry, covetous and fearful rat! If it was to save people, even if we all died here, it would be better than regretting for life! "
Hearing his fierce words, she said in a calm tone, "Only by living can we save more people! Do you want to save one person or the whole world?"
Li Yi laughed back angrily: "The world? In your eyes, is Mrs. Yan not a member of the world? Isn't it worth saving?"
She said: "Save one person or save all living beings. When I can't save the one person in front of me, I choose to save all living beings." Li Yi couldn't help sneering: "What a big tone, you can save all living beings?"
Her lips were tightly shut and she said nothing.
He reprimanded: "Greedy for life and afraid of death, make excuses!"
She ignored him, walked to the fire pit, picked up the wound medicine, and wanted to change it for herself. Li Yi kicked open the medicine bowl, and said angrily: "You still have the guts to use this wound medicine! You are greedy for life and afraid of death, ungrateful villain!"
She picked up the dagger on the ground and threw it at Li Yi's feet: "I am! Then you kill me!"
He stared at her, she bit her lip, sweat dripped from her forehead. He bent down to pick up the knife, turned around and went out, just as she stepped out of the door, behind him, her body shook for a moment, and immediately she fainted on the ground. He turned around, glanced at her fainted on the ground, thought several times in his mind, and finally turned around and strode away.
He discerned the various traces left by the soldiers along the way, and kept following them, when he suddenly saw a new grave by the roadside, the new grave was covered with extremely shallow soil, it must have been built with such a thin layer of tools because he did not have the right tools Under the thin soil, a corner of clothes was exposed. He stepped closer and recognized that it was the corner of the old man Yan's clothes. Except for the shallow soil, the surrounding area was neatly surrounded by grass, and there were a few flowers on the grass, which must have been done by Captain He.
She thought that she chased here and found the corpses of the old couple, so she tried to dig and bury them. Annoyed in his heart, he forced himself to restrain his mind, took some soil, and added some to the grave of the old couple, then stood in front of the grave, respectfully bowed his hands in salute, it was regarded as a memorial service for the two of them.
He only felt very angry, his chest seemed to be exploded, and he thought that even if Captain He was gone, couldn't he coerce Young Master Cui and force him to hand over the food and grass? He looked up at the sun, identified the direction, and then turned around and strode away with a surge of excitement in his heart.

Chapter 2
(16)
The handyman had quick legs, but after a while, he attracted a doctor. The doctor was very old, with a white beard under his chin, and he looked like he had some medical skills. Looking at Xiaowei He's protruding fake belly, he couldn't help but look a little weird.
Li Yi saw that he was frowning and said nothing, so he asked: "Doctor, is there something wrong with the patient?"
The doctor shook his head, sighed and said: "Oh, the old man can't touch the Huamai, I'm afraid the fetus in Mrs. Zun's womb will not be kept."
Li Yi heard that this was the reason, and he couldn't help but feel relieved: "Oh, this, it doesn't matter."
The doctor couldn't help but glanced at him, and the expression on his face became more and more strange. Li Yi thought that what he said did not sound right, so he quickly made up for it, and said repeatedly: "My lord is important, my lord is important."
The doctor slowly withdrew his hand: "My lady's pulse is that the evil wind has invaded and the high fever persists. She must have suffered trauma and failed to recuperate. Fortunately, she has a strong foundation and has survived until now."
Li Yi thought to himself, this doctor is indeed quite knowledgeable, but he didn't think that there is a good doctor in this small town, so he nodded and said, "Yes, she hurt her leg on the mountain a few days ago." The doctor said, "That's it." , let me write a prescription, you first decoct the medicine according to the prescription, then buy some Dieda pills and grind them with wine, and apply them to the wound of Mrs. Zun, it will definitely get better soon, it is the fetus in her womb... ..." Then he shook his head and sighed.
Li Yi heard that the leg injury can be cured, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, my lord is important." Immediately, the doctor prescribed a prescription, Li Yi went to grab the medicine, and handed it to the shop assistant to make it on his behalf. When the medicine was ready and delivered, it was already dark, but she was still lethargic. Li Yi held the medicine bowl in one hand, and probed her forehead with the other. He felt that her forehead was burning hot, and fine white skin was burned on her lips. He could only hear the corners of her mouth moving, as if she was raving. He listened carefully. , only to hear her muttering: "Mother..."
He couldn't help curling his lips, thinking that the woman in front of him was always fierce and vicious, but she would only call her mother when she was sick. Just as he was hesitating how to feed her the medicine, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes in a daze. He was holding the medicine bowl with one hand, so he freed one hand to pull her hand away, but she grabbed it very tightly. , I couldn't pull it away for a while. I don't know if she dreamed of something, but she murmured again: "Mother..."
He no longer cared whether she let go, sat on the head of the bed, helped her up with one hand, and said, "Hey, take the medicine." Although she was lifted up, she was still unconscious, just fingers Still clutching his hem tightly. At that moment, he squeezed her nose hard, she opened her mouth instinctively because of suffocation, he took the opportunity to quickly down a bowl of medicine, she coughed repeatedly in a coma, he patted her on the back vigorously several times, this Only gradually calmed down.
He thought to himself: If it wasn't for the military rations, you would have choked to death. Finally, taking advantage of her coughing, he broke off her fingers, took his clothes out of her fingers, and put her back on the pillow, then turned around and walked to the table, put the bought Dieda pills into the bowl, and followed the instructions According to the doctor's instructions, pour about half a ounce of shochu and grind it finely into medicinal paste.
After the medicine was finished, Li Yi spread the medicine mud in the palm of his hand, lifted the quilt with the other hand, and pulled her trousers. He wanted to apply medicine to her wounds, but found that her trousers were tied tightly with rags. It became a knot. Without even thinking about it, he drew out the dagger and pierced the knee of her trousers with the tip of the blade. Unexpectedly, at this moment, her eyelashes moved slightly, and she suddenly woke up with her eyes open. Seeing this, she couldn't help but push him away, shrank to the corner of the bed, and stared at him in horror: "You... what are you going to do... "
Seeing that she was like a furred cat, her eyes were full of hostility and fear, he tried the edge of the dagger with his fingers, and said coldly: "You won't tell where the Dingsheng army is anyway, and I can't exchange it with you." It is better to kill you with one knife."
After hearing this, she was irritated for some reason, but she raised her neck and said, "Then you're done." He raised his eyebrows, put down the dagger, grabbed the corner of her trousers with five fingers, and suddenly tore it forcefully. She was extremely ashamed and angry, and with a wave of her hand, several tiny silver needles were shot at him. He was already on guard, and avoided it with his head. She slapped him hard on the face with a "slap", and almost at the same time, the medicinal paste in his hand also "slapped" onto her wound. She looked down at the medicinal mud on her leg injury, and at the palm prints on his face that quickly turned red, and couldn't help but mutter: "You...you..."
He rubbed his face, without saying a word, got up and picked up the half bottle of wine left on the table for researching medicine, turned and left.
After walking out of the house, I raised my head and saw a bright moon, which shone so brightly that the sky was blue and white, and the moonlight was reflected on the ground like clear frost all over the place. A gust of night wind made the branches and leaves of the locust trees in the courtyard shake from time to time, and the shadows reflected on the ground also gathered and scattered from time to time. He suddenly remembered that day when he met her by the well, it was also such a moonlit night, her eyes were as bright as stars in the dark night, reflecting thousands of fireflies, like the Milky Way in the sky, all under her eyes.
He didn't want to think about it, but the moonlight tonight was really pleasing, so he carried the wine bottle, climbed over the wall and eaves, climbed to the roof of the inn, and found a flat place among the vases. Sitting on the Nawa and drinking wine to the moon.
He has been fighting for the king since Laolan Pass, and he rarely has the time to be alone like this night. He is now facing the moon and drinking by himself without using a wine cup. Unknowingly, he has already drank most of the pot of wine.
He was slightly drunk, so he lay on his back on the roof tiles, with his hands behind his head, looking at the star-filled sky, he wondered what was going on in Laolanguan. It's almost the autumnal equinox, and I'm afraid it will snow. If it snows for the first time, it's time to hunt gazelle in the wilderness.
When he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a soft "click" not far away, it was obvious that someone had also come up to the roof. He ignored it, and after a while, he saw her clumsily turning over from the roof like a lame kitten, and slowly walking towards him. Although he didn't look at her, but from the corner of his eyes, he only caught a glimpse of her slipping two steps, whether it was because of her leg injury, and the roof tiles were uneven. Fortunately, she finally stabilized her figure and walked quietly. When she came to him, she also sat down on the roof tile beside him.
He couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, so he sat up, picked up the wine bottle again, and took a sip, only to hear her say in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
He said coldly, "what can you do to me?"
She bowed her head and said: "Actually... I went out from the cellar immediately after I stabbed you out that day. I heard they said they were going to take my husband and mother-in-law away to do chores, so I thought they wouldn't treat my husband well." I thought I would think of a way to fight with my mother-in-law... I thought I was smart and capable, but I never thought that I would not be able to save them in the end." She shook her head, her expression full of frustration.
After a while, he said: "I saw you buried them, and I saw the flowers you put on the grave."
She didn't know what she was thinking, after a while, she finally just sighed slightly, looked up at the stars in the sky, and murmured: "It was my fault, I just regret that I can't save you." She paused and said: "In the past, when the Jiedu Envoy was teaching the young master, I heard from the side that the Jiedu Envoy said that a high-ranking person must make many decisions at all times. These decisions are sometimes right and sometimes wrong. If you make a wrong decision, many people may be killed. This is a person with high authority, so he should be cautious. However, if a single word can decide the death of tens of millions of people, then you should think about it, yes Should we save one person, or should we save the world.”
When Li Yi heard that she mentioned Jiedushi, he must be referring to Lulong Jiedushi, Shuobei Governor, General Cui Yi, and couldn't help but tremble. Because of Cui Yi's family background in Youzhou, Cui Yi led the army in this generation, and he was even more brave and good at fighting. He led the army to drive Jieshuo king's tent thousands of miles away. Under the "Dingsheng" banner, Cui's army is also known as the "Dingsheng Army", which is the army used by the imperial court to deter the Jieshuo tribes in the north. But after Sun Jing's rebellion, the Cui family's father and son, known as King Qin, drove their troops south, obviously intending to take advantage of the opportunity to gain profits, or to compete in the Central Plains.
He then asked: "Did you grow up with Young Master Cui?"
She nodded slightly, and said: "My lord treats me very well, and he doesn't treat me like an ordinary servant." One day when her wings are full, she will flap her wings and fly away, never to return. So this is also the way that Mr. Cui used to win people's hearts, he didn't think so, and suddenly said: "You are sick during the day, sleepy and can't wake up, you have been calling A Niang."
She couldn't help being startled when she heard the words, and after a while, she finally said: "I lived in a frontier fortress when I was young. One day, all the men in the city followed the general out of the city to fight. Unexpectedly, another group of enemies came around and attacked the city. There were only The old and the weak, women and children, couldn't defend at all. At that time, I was only five or six years old, and I was small and thin. My mother asked me to crawl out of the well ditch to escape. All the women in the city had decided to fight to the last moment together. I refused to leave , asked my mother to run away with me, my mother said she can't leave, if they also abandon the city, the bad guys can seize the fortress here, and then drive straight in, go south, burn, kill and loot more cities, I'm afraid there will be many Children like me will lose their parents, and there are many parents who will lose their own children. I cried and clamored to stay and fight against the enemy with her. My mother scolded me and told me to live well and live. When I grow up, I can avenge her, learn my skills, and maybe save more people. If I die with her in the city, then what are they fighting for? They just want their children to live. Maybe one day in the future, I will also I have to work as hard as she did, just to save my own child, or more people, more children... I cried and asked, aren't all the women in this city human? Why didn't they run away, why did mother Would you rather die than save other people I don't even know? My mother said... don't just save the one person in front of you, but save more people in the world..."
She paused at this point, just in a daze. Seeing her dazed expression, he didn't know how to persuade her for a while. After a while, she said faintly again: "I finally crawled out of the ditch, and after running away for a long time, I finally found my father. When my father and I came back with the reinforcements, my mother and the whole city All the women, their corpses will be hung on the city wall... My mother, their blood has stained the city wall red..." He glanced at her, feeling very unbearable, but when she said these words, His tone was very calm, and there were no tears in his eyes. He asked: "Did you live in Yingzhou when you were young? I remember that the court once recommended the wife of the general of Yingzhou as Mrs. Wu Lie. At that time when Jieshuo attacked the city, Mrs. Wu Lie led the women's army without retreating and defended the city. Your mother is a member of the women's army." people?"
Tears finally seemed to flash in her eyes: "Yes. There is only one person on the imperial court, but in fact there are five hundred and sixty-nine members of the Detachment of Women Guarding the city." She said: "Each of them is not A Niang's sons and daughters, so why not A Niang who is not a son or daughter, but she never wants to abandon the city and run away, in order to stop the enemy and save more people, she resolutely went to her death."
He solemnly said: "They are all Yingjie."
She said: "My father asked me, do you still remember what Auntie said last time? I said, Auntie told me to live well. Only by living can I know why she died. Only by living can I have hope, and only by living can I save more people."
He asked: "This is the reason why you stunned me with a needle in the cellar? Do you think we can save more people?"
She nodded: "Yes. Because you are the commander-in-chief of the Zhenxi Army, all the soldiers and horses of the King Qin in the world now only look after you. Once you are in danger, I am afraid that the matter of the King Qin will be a dream from now on. With you, there are countless in the Zhenxi Army People will feel that they have the backbone, and the teachers of the king who are diligent in the world will also feel that there is hope. If you are gone, whether Sun Jing can sit firmly in this world is another matter. With his cruel and cruel temperament, I am afraid that he will continue to fight. The people in this world are too miserable If we fight for a few more years, I'm afraid that the bones will be exposed in the wild, and there will be no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. Isn't the troubled times mentioned in ancient books not enough?"
He knew in his heart that what she said was right, and that he shouldn't put himself in danger, otherwise, if something happened, it would definitely hinder the overall situation. Still want to save."
She said: "At the beginning, the Jiedu envoy said that those who achieve great things must experience great regret. At that time, I was young and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but now that I think about it, shouldn't life be without regret? It's my fault for you, that's my decision, you annoy me and hate me, I just accept it. I saw the dead bodies of Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan, and I regretted everything in my heart, but I could only bear it myself. There is a sin, it is my sin, if you are angry and want to kill me with a knife, then I have to accept it calmly. When I stabbed the needle, I should know that since I did such a thing, There is nothing to regret."
When Li Yi heard her say these words, he was frank and upright, and he was stunned for a moment. After a while, he suddenly nodded and said, "I shouldn't blame you, or rather, I shouldn't hate you that much. In fact, it's because I regret not being able to save them, but I blame all this on you At that time, if you didn’t stun me with needles, I might not be able to save them. If I had rushed out earlier, or had the opportunity, I would actually hate myself. I didn’t go out to save people earlier, but all Blame it on you, that's where I was wrong."
Hearing what he said, she couldn't help being stunned. I saw him pick up the jug and take a long sip of wine. She couldn't help reaching out, and also wanted to take the flagon, but he blocked it: "Your injury is not healed, and you are still taking medicine!"
She sighed softly, and sat on the roof tiles with her knees hugged, her chin resting on her hands, but she saw the bright moon, the moonlight was like quicksilver, and like a boundless white veil, covering everything in the world.
