Volume 2 Dances with Dragons Chapter 101 Sworn to Defend to the Death

Xiang Liang quietly listened to the suggestions of the leaders, told the leaders his escape route without reservation, and assigned the action route of everyone present, and finally said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for your sworn protection, I Xiang Liang has thanked you for this, if the teams can't retreat from the enemy, they will give priority to saving their lives, and surrender immediately after escaping, and there must be no mistakes." When I saw the firm eyes of everyone, I felt that my good intentions were useless.

The leaders promised to go out to order troops, Xiang Liang became distressed, so many people sacrificed for their own lives is something he is unwilling to accept, but there is no way, this is the reality they need to face, they have no ability to repel the army of Zhao led by General Li.

Xiang Liang's personal guards were divided into five groups, each group of 200 people, one group continued to travel by water, and the remaining four groups traveled by land, and he himself was in the team to go to the north bank, and the remaining three groups took the south bank to confuse Zhao Jun under the advice of everyone, which caused Xiang Liang to be moved for a while.

Surprise is the right way for soldiers, so who would have thought that these three groups of teams going south did not have Xiang Liang himself, and the team going north hid his true body.

Since it was scheduled to leave at night, the ship continued to march symbolically for several miles, and then stopped to recuperate and prepare for a big battle with the Zhao army.

Xiang Liang returned to the inner room after everything was arranged, and saw that Wang Mei was sleeping soundly on his bed with her head covered, so he sat on the wooden chair in the room, thinking about whether there was anything missing that needed to be dealt with, it was a matter of life and death, and he could no longer be careless, and at the same time sighed for the fearless spirit of his Qin soldiers.

"General Xiang, dinner is ready. "One hand down to report.

Xiang Liang stood up, and walked to the bed after answering, intending to wake up Wang Mei to eat together, and after lifting the futon, he suddenly fell into an ice valley, only to see Wang Mei lying on her back with her eyes closed, holding a silk book tightly in front of her chest with both hands, and the dried blood stains at the corners of her mouth and her hard and cold body showed that she had been dead for a long time.

Xiang Liang wailed: "I finally saw you, why did you want to commit suicide...", and then began to lie on the side of the bed and cry bitterly.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, his subordinates came to urge him again, and Xiang Liang said mournfully: "I'm not going, you can eat." The subordinates were about to push the door to persuade them, but they were shouted back by Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang threw aside the empty porcelain bottle next to the pillow and sobbed: "Why are you so stupid, why did you leave me, no matter what happens, I will accept it, woo..."

The blood-red text on the silk book stung Xiang Liang again, and the letter said: Xiang Xun must not be sad, it is my greatest wish that you can get out of danger, I die without regrets, I have suffered a lot of humiliation after you leave, the only reason that can let me survive is your fragrance, I hate you and the general's wife very much, I can't wait to send this poison into your belly in person, she has killed herself, I can do what she can do, I am now a merry daughter, so I don't want to go to Qin with you, take good care of the princess, my words will not be in vain...

And the distorted text below was obscured by the red bloodstains, presumably the last struggle after taking the poison, and the four blood words at the end of the letter, 'Farewell', were like four powerful arrows piercing Xiang Liang's chest.

Footsteps rang out outside the door, and the leader hesitated, lingering in the doorway, not knowing how to speak.

Xiang Liang covered Wang Mei with a futon, folded the silk book into his arms, and shouted to the door: "Come in, isn't it time to go?"

The leader outside the door pushed the door in, put the food in his hand on the table, and arched his hand: "The team has been assembled, and General Xiang can set off after dinner." ”

Xiang Liang pointed to Wang Mei on the bed, and said to the leader: "Send her to my mansion, bury her in the back garden, and engrave my Xiang Liang's wife. And waved at him.

After the leader stepped back, there was an argument immediately, and Xiang Liang didn't understand, just quietly looked at Wang Mei on the bed.

After a while, the elder leader walked in, and Xiang Liang waved his hand to stop his persuasion, "No need to say any more, pick me a high-quality war horse, I will go north alone, you don't have to go south, let's take a boat back to Xianyang City together, they want my life, not yours." ”

Seeing that he was about to speak, Xiang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Get out!

The older leader shook his head and sighed, and withdrew, and soon the sound of horses sounded.

_

The soldiers on the ship waved goodbye to the benevolent general, and Xiang Liang also waved at the Qin ships on the hillside, and then disappeared into the dark night.

The elder leader had tears in his eyes, "General Xiang did not hesitate to put himself in danger in order to protect you and me, and can we exchange his whereabouts for his life?"

The surrounding soldiers said in unison: "Can't !!"

The leader was very satisfied with the answer, and said in a loud voice: "Although the military order is like a mountain, my Great Qin Nan'er must not leave any of his comrades-in-arms, what should we do?"

"Sworn to Protect General Xiang'!!"

The leader raised his long sword and said, "If you are not afraid of death, come with me Bai!" After speaking, he rushed to the direction where Xiang Liang left, and the soldiers behind him rushed up and followed the white leader, if it weren't for a few sober leaders to stop him, the soldiers would have gone to the empty ship long ago, and the team of about five hundred people chased Xiang Liang under the leadership of the white leader.

Mingzhe took his palm off Hei Yu's back, but he didn't expect the third brother to be so seriously injured, so tired that he leaned against the stone wall in the cave and didn't want to move for half a minute.

Wen Qing curled up on the straw mat and fell asleep, relieved that his injuries were relatively stable.

At this time, Wenqing seemed to have a nightmare, struggling in pain, Mingzhe was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help it up, shaking it gently.

Wen Qing slowly opened his eyes and said to Mingzhe with difficulty: "Quick... Hurry up and go to the south of Handan City for 300 miles, Xiang Liang has... There is danger...", and fainted again before he finished speaking.

Mingzhe was shocked, if Xiang Liang was gone, what would happen to Wenqing, he didn't dare to imagine, after placing Wenqing properly, seeing that the third brother was breathing evenly, he walked out of the cave with arrows, turned into a streamer and flew eastward.

_

Countless torches illuminated Xiang Liang's side as bright as day, and nearly a thousand horse thieves surrounded him, and their leader stepped forward and said, "General Xiang, don't come to harm, today is your death!"

Xiang Liang shouted: "Wait!" The horse thieves stopped their eagerness, wanting to hear what the dying man would say.

Xiang Liang raised his sword and pointed at the other party's leader, and said loudly: "Xiang will not escape death today, but can General Li let those guards go?"

The leader of the horse thieves was taken aback, then laughed, pulled down the masked black scarf and said approvingly: "General Xiang is really powerful, how do you know that Li will be waiting for you here? It won't be Tian Xiangye of Qi State who buys it at both ends, okay? But the old man will take your life today, and my Da Zhao must not leave you, a fierce enemy, to survive in this world." ”

Xiang Liang was taken aback, and then said gloomily: "Sister Wang is dead, Xiang is in despair, in order to protect the lives of his brothers, Xiang Liang is willing to exchange Xiang's head for him, is it okay?"

General Li nodded, and was about to speak, when Xiang Liang said again: "It's just... It's just a pity that I can't avenge the general's wife, come on, my Da Qin boy only died in battle, and no one made fun of the world by killing himself, let Xiang Mou see how the soldiers of your Zhao State are!"

When General Li heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand to stop and asked, "Wait! Isn't the Hou Ye already dead? Who else is involved? Where is Zheng'er?"

Xiang Liang allowed him to ask more, patted his horse and rushed towards him, trying to subdue him with a trick to disturb his mind, and then use him to threaten Zhao Bing, so that he could have a chance of survival.

General Li frowned, shook off Xiang Liang's heavy split, and said loudly: "Catch Xiang Liang alive, there will be a reward!" After speaking, the view retreated and returned to the crowd.

At this time, Xiang Liang got up and stood on the back of the horse, with his legs forced, jumped towards General Li, and pulled out the dagger in his arms.
