On the banks of the Qinhuai River, the Dragon and Tiger Gang.

The Southern Liang army has besieged the Dragon and Tiger Gang for more than a month, and the big tent in the army is built five miles south of the Qinhuai River, surrounded by heavy guards, for the Dragon and Tiger Gang, the strategy adopted by Mr. She, who has never shown up, is to encircle but not destroy, attack but not overcome, with the Qinhuai River as the boundary, from north to south, the thickness of the army continues to weaken, like a dam across the heaven and earth, blocking the iron torrent from the north.

Compared with the regular army, this new army composed of the Nanliang coastal defense army and the Nanliang town border army is not strong, and there is no famous commander and fierce general, but at the current juncture of the confrontation between the southern army of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the southern Liang army, the emergence of this army for the southern battlefield is a wonderful hand to press the balance of victory to the southern Liang, and more importantly, there are many children of the eight great families of the Southern Liang in the army, it is very simple that the world is full of wolf smoke today, the sage academy is excluded, and military merit is a more effective shortcut to the south than the imperial examination, the main reason is that the war on the front line of the Qinhuai River is not tragic, the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was attacked on three sides, could not draw extra troops to resist this army that was not strong, so the children of the powerful were very safe, and She Yu was happy to see it, after capturing the two Zhejiang and besieging the Dragon and Tiger Gang, he ordered people to gather the children of the important family together, and play along the banks of the Qinhuai River together.

Those who have never seen the real battlefield of the powerful children, think that they are in the middle of the war, Jin Ge Iron Horse, scolding Fang Xuan, pointing the country, suddenly born a thousand miles of pride, they have no ability to fight and kill, but for many years of pampering and cultivating a little literary atmosphere, the poems written are quite rough and bold of border poetry, and there is the wine of the Qinhuai River, the pipa on both sides of the river is rendered, everyone is holding their wrists, leading to singing, it is also a good scenery.

But in the Dragon and Tiger Villa, the casualties were heavy, the long bridge across the Qinhuai River outside the villa was also blown up by Lu Linlang's order, the Dragon and Tiger Gang of more than 3,000 people in the past is now dead, walking, and surrendering, there are less than 200 people, She Yu once ordered people to go to the Dragon and Tiger Gang to persuade them to surrender, and those who surrender can be exempted from all criminal responsibility, and they will be paid 50 taels of grain, 3 acres of fertile land, and exempt from taxes and forced labor for two years.

They are all flat-headed people, what they want is to live, no one wants to hit the stone with an egg, live a life with fear every day, many people have already thought about surrendering, but Lu Linlang, the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, did a stupid thing, she did not allow a person to leave the Dragon and Tiger Gang and surrender to Nanliang, forcing everyone to fight to the death with the Nanliang army, some people were not convinced and made a quibble or two, Lu Linlang, who has always been a gentle gang, killed a few people on the spot, temporarily suppressed dissent.

In a evenly matched battle, killing people in front of the battle can establish authority and increase the odds of victory, but with the Dragon and Tiger Gang of 3,000 people against an army of Southern Liang, Lu Linlang's behavior quietly laid the root of the bane, with the two sides several short-handed encounters, the Dragon and Tiger Gang was vulnerable in front of the well-trained army, and the people's hearts within the gang were even more sloppy, and the Southern Liang army had not yet entered the villa, and the people inside were already panicked.

Someone secretly conspired to arrest Lu Linlang and escort him to Nanliang to invite merit, but Mr. Qi She will be rewarded for meritorious deeds and added officials to the knighthood. That night, everyone led Lu Linlang to the hall of the villa on the grounds of discussing the military situation, and secretly carried out the assassination scheme, thanks to Jiang Yeqing's timely discovery of the clue, before Lu Linlang walked into the hall, he pulled her to flee quickly, so that he did not fall into the trap of others.

Since then, there has also been a split within the Dragon and Tiger Gang, and more than half of the team of more than 200 people has been separated, besieging Lu Linlang in Linlang Garden, wanting to take the life of the Dragon and Tiger Gang to ask for merit and reward.

South of the Qinhuai River, She Yu in the big tent looked at the information handed over by his subordinates, and smiled faintly: "Sure enough, let the Dragon and Tiger Gang fight among themselves, pass the order, the army will camp on the spot, and pass the message to the Dragon and Tiger Gang, who can take Lu Linlang's life or capture her, I She Yu can guarantee that there will be a place for him in the main hall of Jiankang City in the future." ”

Under the heavy reward, not to mention the great favor promised by She Yu, Lu Linlang has become a delicious big cake, and everyone wants to share a piece.

The sky gradually darkened, the Southern Liang army lit the torches, the entire Qinhuai River set off the sparkling, a greasy sound of rouge gouache permeated the water, the green buildings on both sides of the river are lit up, laughter and laughter continue, which is confirmed by the sentence "The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flower in the backyard across the river", the sons and daughters of the family have put life and death out of the way, are they loyal to the country, and have "killed" on the battlefield.

And inside the Dragon and Tiger Villa, the outer courtyard is occupied by the rebellious gangs, the bonfire is lit, drinking wine and eating meat, making loud noises, there is not much food in the Linlang Garden, it can't support it for a few days, it is a matter of time before the Linlang Garden is broken, everyone looked up at the quiet and abnormal Linlang Garden, as if they had seen themselves wearing official uniforms, and the scene of adding officials to the knighthood.

Lu Linlang leaned tiredly on the pillar of the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, gently closing her eyes, and the laughter outside floated above the sky, but it couldn't reach her ears.

The sword in her hand, she didn't put it down, nor did she return it to the sheath, she didn't know when, a new entry into the palace would be launched outside, and she was afraid that after the sword was sheathed, she would no longer have the strength to pull it out.

"Linlang, Linlang!" a hand placed on her shoulder and shook it gently.

"Li Gongzi. Lu Linlang, who was in a daze, muttered softly and slowly opened his eyes: "Ye Qing, it's you." ”

Jiang Yeqing sighed faintly, if she heard Lu Linlang shouting "Li Gongzi" in the past, she would definitely educate Lu Linlang loudly, don't be mistaken by love words for a lifetime, that Li Qingyuan is a big liar, silly girl, you should wake up, but now that she sees the poor sister in front of her, she is only distressed, and handed over the bowl of porridge in her hand: "Come, Linlang, drink some rice porridge." ”

Lu Linlang took the rice porridge and took a sip gently, the entrance was not sticky, but a nausea and exhaustion that can pull people into hell.

"Hey, drink slowly, you haven't eaten or drunk for a whole day, you can't be in a hurry to eat, it hurts your stomach and body. Jiang Yeqing said with concern, sat next to Lu Linlang, and untied the bandage on the other party's arm, Lu Linlang was injured, he was injured by the hidden weapon, it was shot by the renegade outside, the hidden weapon was poisonous, it had suppurated, and black blood came out, Lu Linlang has been insisting.

Jiang Yeqing sighed again, applied gold sore medicine, and tied a bandage, Lu Linlang didn't say a word, only the cold sweat on his head told the pain in his heart.

"Ye Qing, why don't you persuade me to surrender?" Lu Linlang, who was holding the empty bowl in both hands, asked, holding the empty bowl as if she was holding a trace of support, and there was some comfort in her empty heart.

"I know your temper, and I recognize the truth, eight cows can't pull it back, it's definitely useless to persuade it, and I can't help but get angry, it's better not to persuade it. Jiang Yeqing looked at the dilapidated Linlang Garden in front of him, his heart was full of emotion, this courtyard was Linlang's dowry, and he was looking forward to one day sending this sister to a sedan chair and marrying his beloved man, but now it seems that it is far away.

"Ye Qing, you and Brother Wang can leave together, don't worry about me. The eldest brother Wang in Lu Linlang's mouth is Jiang Yeqing's favorite man, named Wang Xigui, and the two have had an experience of "women chasing men on the paper".

"Ha, Lu Linlang, you want me Jiang Yeqing to abandon my sister and run away on my own, this kind of wolf-hearted thing, Miss Ben will not do. Jiang Yeqing patted his chest and said, laughing again: "You call him Brother Wang, it wasn't like this before." ”

In the past, Lu Linlang always felt that this scholar surnamed Wang was too soft, and he called him Wang dough, and Jiang Yeqing took revenge with "Miss Li" Calling Li Qingyuan, the two of them were-for-tat, not an inch, this time the Dragon and Tiger Gang was in turmoil, he had been standing on Lu Linlang's side, not to mention that Lu Linlang felt surprised, even Jiang Yeqing felt surprised, where to find this kind of affectionate and righteous man, he pushed Wang Xigui down on the bed that night and became his own man, the next morning Jiang Yeqing had nothing to do, he should eat and drink, but Wang Xigui had a sad face, as if he had suffered a lot of losses, Jiang Yeqing was angry, and took advantage of the obscene rain outside the door to turn Wang Xigui into his own man again, until Wang Xigui, who had read the sage book for half his life, did not dare to show a trace of sadness。

"I used to be blind, so I can't compensate Miss Jiang and Brother Wang here. Lu Linlang opened her mouth and said, even at this moment, she couldn't get used to Jiang Yeqing's proud appearance.

Jiang Yeqing's eyes looked into the distance, and Brother Wang's general surprise was the great worship of Sun Biao, Jiang Yeqing did not think that Sun Biao was a loyal person from beginning to end, but at this existential crisis, he was more resolute and generous than anyone else, and regarded death as home, Jiang Yeqing and Wang Xigui had discussed Sun Biao in private, or Wang Xigui pointed out the key point, Sun Biao was not disloyal, but he was not loyal to the Dragon and Tiger Gang, Jiang Yeqing suddenly realized in his heart, Zheng Yunshen back then could be a spy sent by Nanliang, why Sun Biao couldn't have another identity。

As for that Li Qingyuan, Jiang Yeqing sighed, since Li Qingyuan left, Lu Linlang's soul has not been relentless, judging from years of speculation, Li Qingyuan's identity is also about to come out, but no one has broken it, especially after the fact that the person is a woman has spread all over the country, it is already a sure thing, which makes Jiang Yeqing worried, women are not men, and men's affection may be strong and lasting, but it is not as desperate as a woman, and a heart is sent out, that is, it is sent out for a lifetime, and it is difficult to take it back if you don't keep the slightest, let alone a stupid woman like Linlang。

Thinking of this, Jiang Yeqing's heart rose with anger, if I can see it again, see if I can't breathe a sigh of relief for Linlang, Li Qingyuan's behavior is worse than cheating money and body, it is simply forcing people to despair!

Suddenly, he looked up at the sky, north of the Qinhuai River, the sky illuminated by the firelight was visible and visible, it was the flickering caused by the swaying of the firelight, boom, boom, a dull thunder exploded, the war drums sounded, the sound of horses galloping, and it suddenly became a mess.

At this time, if someone can look down from the sky, on the battlefield where the Nanliang army collided, a figure attacked left and right, and a long sleeve was like a sickle for harvesting crops.

That figure carved out a road in the midst of thousands of troops, and a slender figure slowly moved along this avenue, and at night, torches splashed, like fireworks blooming in the crowd, which was particularly beautiful and cruel and bloody.

The roar was getting closer and closer, the shouts outside were getting louder and louder, and the terrible sound of breaking the air spread with a hint of blood, Jiang Yeqing didn't know what was going on outside, his heart was inexplicably nervous, and he subconsciously clenched his hands, and suddenly all the sounds stopped abruptly, and the world became silent, as if nothing had happened, but some things had happened, such as the figure stopped in front of the gate of Linlang Garden.

Jiang Yeqing held his breath, and the rest of the people also held their breath and clenched the weapons in their hands.

With a squeak, the small door of Linlang Garden was pushed open.

"Li Qingyuan!!" Jiang Yeqing got up suddenly, his eyes widened, his face was full of anger, but Lu Linlang was motionless, Sun Biao's heart trembled, he knelt on his knees, and shouted long live, Wang Xigui thought about it, and finally knelt down slowly.

Li Yuanying was like a thief, rubbing her hands together with each other, walked to the center of the small pavilion in the center of the lake, looked around with erratic eyes, and shouted loudly: "Yu Qing, die, at night, don't hold the lamp, what are you waiting for?!!"

Yu Qingfeng generally wanders in the Linlang Garden, and after a while, the Linlang Garden is brightly lit, as bright as day, comparable to the bright moon in the sky.

Li Yuanying sat opposite Lu Linlang, thinking for a long time and not knowing what to say, only laughing dryly.

Jiang Yeqing was in a hurry, and screwed her hard, Li Yuanying sighed and turned around: "What are you pinching me for?"

"I didn't!" Jiang Yeqing spread his hands, extremely innocent.

The Great Grandmaster of the Peak of Human Cultivation rubbed his arm, thinking that it was all blue, and then looked at Lu Linlang, and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

In the brilliant lights, Lu Linlang never spoke, always staring at Li Yuanying, silent like a stone, hearing Li Yuanying's two words, she slowly closed her eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down: "You don't have to thank you, Qinhuai River is my Lu Linlang, guarded by Li Qingyuan and Li Gongzi, and it has nothing to do with you!"

(According to the general plot, Lu Linlang should say to everyone, "The enemy is now, this is a bit of silver, everyone take some silver money by themselves and run for their lives.") "Then everyone was passionate, they didn't want money, they wanted to swear to protect the Dragon and Tiger Gang with the gang leader, I can't write like that, it's too cliché, and it's not reasonable, so why did I write that Lu Linlang didn't surrender, and didn't allow others to surrender? Because she resented, she hated, she was sad, she was bitter, and she was making trouble for herself!)
