"For your father-in-law?" Lin Nan asked.

Chen Gong nodded and said: "Yes, my father-in-law is now sandwiched between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, left and right, but since the alliance, my father-in-law has not made an inch, I just want to take advantage of this opportunity to let my father-in-law get a piece of the pie." ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Sir, please rest assured, when this plan is mature, I will give out all the plans and plans, and I will not take the credit alone." It's just that now I still ask Mr. to keep it a secret, once it is leaked, I am afraid that every qiē will be in vain, and General Lu will be in danger. ”

Chen Gong arched his hand and said: "General, please rest assured, the public station will keep it strictly secret, and if something enters my ears, it will not come out of my mouth again." ”

Lin Nan said: "Well, sir, then I will definitely inform the group of heroes to conquer the tiger prison together, and I will not monopolize this work." I have important things to do now......"

Chen Gong understood, hurriedly got up, and arched his hand towards Lin Nan: "Then I will leave here." ”

"Wait......" Lin Nan suddenly exclaimed, "Mr. is a talented person, if you can't show it at Zhang Miao's place, or if there is anything unsatisfactory, you can come to me at any time, and my door will be open for Mr. at any time." ”

Chen Gong hesitated slightly, then arched his hand and said: "The general's kindness, keep in mind the heart, and the public platform will leave." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Gong turned around and walked out of the tent, and when he walked out of the tent, he happened to meet Jia Xu and Xun You, who arched their hands to each other, exchanged a word or two, and hurriedly left Lin Nan's camp.

Seeing the back of Chen Gong leaving, Lin Nan said to himself: "Chen Gong is also a talent, but Zhang Miao is an incompetent person, I hope he can leave Zhang Miao as much as he can, and come to me, anyway, he can't cheapen others." ”

After Jia Xu and Xun Yu entered the account. They bowed to Lin Nan together, then sat down and arched their hands together: "Lord, does Lu Bu have any news to bring?" ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Well, Lu Bu has already figured out the distribution of troops in the Tiger Prison Pass. Two days later, our army will be able to join forces with Lu Bu and capture the Tiger Prison Pass in one go. ”

Jia Xu and Xun You said in unison: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord." ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Let the soldiers rest well today, in order not to have accidents, tomorrow I will take the initiative to ask for orders, take the soldiers and horses of my headquarters to fight in the Tiger Prison, and then I will meet Lu Bu and inquire in detail about the situation in the pass." ”

"No!"

#############################

After dark. Lin Nan's camp was normal, and Hua Xiong led a small group of cavalry to patrol the perimeter of the camp.

The moonlit night was cold, and there was silence all around. When Hua Xiong led the 20 cavalry to patrol a dense forest not far away, he suddenly found a suspicious figure swaying in the woods.

"There are people in the woods, come with me!" Hua Xiong gave an order and casually entered the dense forest with his twenty relatives.

Hua Xiong scattered the twenty people and searched in the form of a dragnet, just as he was still searching. But he heard the soldier shouting "caught", and he hurriedly led the people to rush to the other side of the voice.

came to the source of the sound. Hua Xiong saw two horsemen grab a slightly weak man, who was ragged and his hair was scattered and obscured his entire face.

The man who was arrested had been struggling on the ground, crying and shouting, "Let go of me, let go of me, I want to see your general." I want to see your general......"

Hua Xiong glanced at the man and saw that the man was wearing Dong Zhuojun's clothes, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man replied tremblingly, "Lord Qiqi, little man...... Centaur Nine ...... I have ......"

"Ma Jiu?" As soon as Hua Xiong heard the name, he immediately jumped off the horse. walked straight to the man, lifted the man's head, looked at his face in the moonlight, his face was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Ma Jiu, you are really Ma Jiu, let him go, he is my brother." ”

When Ma Jiu saw Hua Xiong, he was also happy, and hurriedly hugged Hua Xiong and cried: "Brother Hua...... I've finally found you......"

Hua Xiong also hugged Ma Jiu tightly and hurriedly asked, "Ma Jiu, why are you here?" ”

Ma Jiudao: "Brother Hua, take me to see Hou Ye quickly, it's too late, and Hou Ye's family will be beheaded......

"What? What did you say? Hua Xiong hurriedly asked, "You make things clear, what's going on?" ”

Ma Jiudao: "Brother Hua, it's great to meet you, you can take someone with me, let's go to save Lord Hou's clan, if you rush over at this time, you can still ...... in time"

"You just said Hou Ye's family?" Hua Xiong asked exactly.

Ma Jiu nodded heavily, and said to Hua Xiong: "It's Lord Hou's family, I saw it with my own eyes." There is a mountain road on the side of the Tiger Prison Pass, which can only be reached on foot, and I sneaked out along that mountain road to report to the Hou Ye. Brother Hua, without further ado, come with me, after we save Hou Ye's family, Dong Lao Thief has nothing to blackmail Hou Ye. ”

Hua Xiong and Ma Jiu have always been good, not only in the same country, but also grew up in open crotch pants together when they were children, and he also trusted Ma Jiu very much. When he followed Lin Nan into Beijing, he did not take Ma Jiu away, but let him stay in Chencang, and after a farewell of two years, Hua Xiong's heart ignited a brotherly friendship. In addition, Hua Xiong also wanted to rescue Lin Nan's family, so without thinking about it, he decided to follow Ma Jiu to rescue Lin Nan's family.

He turned his head and said to a cavalryman behind him: "You go back and tell the lord, just say that I went to save people, let the lord not worry about me, before dawn, I will rush back." ”

The cavalry made a "no" and turned to leave.

Hua Xiong said to Ma Jiu: "Ma Jiu, let's leave now, these people around me are all experienced in a hundred battles, all of them are one as ten, let's ......"

"General, this thing came very suddenly, and the Tiger Prison Pass is heavily guarded, how could a small soldier of his hand slip down the mountain road, if there is such a mountain road, then wouldn't the allies be able to easily climb over the back of the Tiger Prison Pass? General, please think twice, I'm afraid there is fraud in this. The person who spoke was Li Tie, and he saw that Hua Xiong was convinced of Ma Jiu's words, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. He hurriedly said.

When Ma Jiuyi heard this, he hurriedly pulled out the sword in Hua Xiong's waist, put it on his neck, and shouted loudly: "Brother Hua, what I said is true, and there is absolutely no lie. I can show my innocence with death. ”

Seeing that Ma Jiu, who had been cowardly since childhood, suddenly became so fierce, Hua Xiong snatched the long sword from Ma Jiu's hand, took it in his hand, looked around, and said loudly: "I believe in Ma Jiu, he is my brother, and he will never deceive me." I will go to the Savior's family, and if you don't have the guts, you will all go back. I followed Ma Jiu alone. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then said in unison: "I will follow the general to the death!" ”

Li Tie frowned, and said to Hua Xiong: "General Hua, this Ma Jiu's appearance is suspicious, I'm just afraid that he will ......."

Hua Xiong put the long sword in his hand horizontally, directly on Li Tie's neck, and said loudly: "You coward, if you are afraid of death, get out quickly." Even if I Huaxiong broke into the Longtan Tiger's Den, in order to save the lord's family. Why should I spare my life? What's more, Ma Jiu is my brother who has played since I was a child, and he will never lie to me, I believe in him. ”

As soon as the words fell, Hua Xiong put away his long sword and followed Ma Jiu with eighteen of his subordinates.

Li Tie's brows furrowed tightly, and he turned around and rode his horse in the direction of the barracks. He said to himself: "This matter must be notified to the lord, otherwise Hua Xiong's life will not be guaranteed!" ”

There were a few shining stars in the sky, a few white clouds, and a full moon embedded in the blue canopy like a jade disk. The bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth, turning the whole land white.

In this silver-gray moonlight. Torches were all raised in the large battalion of the coalition army, illuminating the surroundings, and at first glance, it looked like a long fire dragon. Near Longwei, a military camp with a large banner with the word "forest" appeared to be as silent as death. Most of the soldiers in the battalion were already resting and preparing for tomorrow's battle.

Suddenly, two fast horses came from the dark jungle outside the camp, and as they galloped, they shouted "Open the door".

The soldiers guarding the gate knew one of them, it was their captain Li Tie, and he did not hesitate to open the gate and let Li Tie and his companions into the camp.

As soon as Li Tie entered the camp, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and quickly ran towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this time, Lin Nan was the only one in the big tent of the Chinese army, and he was concentrating on reading Sun Tzu's Art of War, nodding his head silently from time to time, and absorbing a lot of the essence of using soldiers and marching from it.

"Lord......" Li Tie shouted loudly and ran over from outside the gate.

When the soldiers in charge of guarding the tent saw this, they hurriedly blocked the way, and one of them shouted, "Do not make a loud noise outside the tent of the lord." ”

Lin Nan, who was in the big tent, heard my shouting outside, and immediately shouted outside: "Let people come in, don't stop them." ”

There was a "no" outside the tent, and then the curtain was lifted, and Li Tie was directly put into the big tent.

Lin Nan raised his eyelids and glanced at the panicked Li Tie, then temporarily put down the bamboo slip in his hand, moved his body forward, and asked softly, "It's you, why are you so flustered?" ”

After Li Tie paid his respect, he hurriedly said: "It's a big deal, please go and stop General Hua quickly, otherwise, General Hua is very likely to die......"

"Hua Xiong?" Lin Nan hurriedly stood up and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with Huaxiong?" What happened? ”

So, Li Tie simply told Ma Jiu about it.

After Lin Nan heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, and while walking towards the outside of the tent, he said to Li Tie: "Quickly inform Zhao Yun and ask him to bring a hundred cavalry with me, such an obvious trick, why can't Hua Xiong see it?" ”

Li Tie said "promise" and immediately ran out of the camp.

Lin Nan hurriedly put on his armor and helmet, and after sorting out his weapons, he shouted loudly outside the tent: "Prepare the horses!" ”

#####################################

Hua Xiong and the other nineteen people, under the leadership of Ma Jiu, walked all the way to the northwest, and soon came to the foot of a mountain.

"Brother Hua, when I arrived, I came down from this road, and the old thief Dong Zhuo locked up the family of Master Hou and all the families of all the members of the Flying Feather Army in the cave on the edge of the Tiger Prison Pass, preparing to kill them all tomorrow. As long as you follow this road and climb over this mountain, you can save those people. Ma Jiu pointed to a winding mountain road in front of him and said to Huaxiong.

Hua Xiong took advantage of the moonlight to take a look at the mountain road, which was quite steep. It zigzagged up the hill to the very top, and on either side it was thicketed with thorns. He looked at the tattered appearance on Ma Jiu's body again, as well as the obvious scratches on his arms and thighs. He completely let down his guard against Ma Jiu. He turned over and dismounted, walked to Ma Jiu's side, patted Ma Jiu's shoulder, and immediately said: "Ma Jiu, eldest brother is sorry for you, he was in too much of a hurry and didn't take you away, making you suffer." ”

Ma Jiudao: "What did the eldest brother say, our brothers." What's so much to see. Although I stayed in Chencang, I also served as a county lieutenant for a long time, and if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's old thief, I wouldn't have come here. Big brother, you come with me, I'll lead the way in front, and if you cross this mountain, we can take advantage of people's unpreparedness. rescued Hou Ye's family. ”

Hua Xiong nodded and looked around at the eighteen people around him. At the moment, he said: "You are all from Liangzhou, you are my old department, you made a lot of contributions to the capture of Bishui Pass last time, this time we have to rescue the family of the lord, as well as your family, and the family of the brothers who died in the war." ”

The other eighteen people all said in unison: "I would like to listen to the general's dispatch." ”

Hua Xiong said: "Very good. Ma Jiu, lead the way in front. ”

Ma Jiu responded, and the first one climbed up the mountain, and said as he walked: "Brother Hua, I found this mountain road only after I asked the local woodcutter." When Hou Ye's family is rescued, we can also borrow this mountain road to directly climb over the Tiger Prison Pass, so that we can eliminate Dong Zhuo's old thief by attacking back and forth. ”

Hua Xiong nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too, let's go together." ”

So, Ma Jiu began to talk with Hua Xiong while walking, chatting about things when he was a child, talking and laughing.

Hua Xiong was convinced of Ma Jiu, he was not a little guarded, and he would never believe that his brothers for many years would harm him, so he and Ma Jiu climbed up the mountain with laughter along the way, not noticing at all that he was falling into the enemy's trap step by step.

Hua Xiong and the others usually train rigorously, and they are also members of the first batch of Flying Feather Army, and their skills are very agile. When training in Wuyue Mountain, it was a common thing to go over the mountains and mountains, and it didn't take long for the group to come to the top of the mountain, but they left Ma Jiu far behind.

After climbing to the top of the mountain, Hua Xiong looked around, but saw a valley due west, and the lights were shining in the valley, and he couldn't see clearly in the flickering light. He pointed to the valley and shouted to Ma Jiu, who was still climbing, "Ma Jiu, is it the valley over there?" ”

Ma Jiu gasped for breath, and when he heard Hua Xiong's question, he replied, "Yes...... It is...... It's that valley over there, and all the people are locked up there, and they're going to be beheaded tomorrow. ”

Hua Xiong saw that Ma Jiu's movements were slow, and he gave first aid, so he left two people behind, and ordered: "The two of you stay and follow behind with Ma Jiu, I will go with them to save people, if you save people, you can have a response." ”

After giving the order, Hua Xiong led the sixteen men along the rugged road that zigzagged into the valley.

Ma Jiu finally climbed to the top of the mountain, panting and looking around, there were only two people left, and Hua Xiong and the others were gone, so he hurriedly asked, "Hua ...... What about Brother Hua? ”

The soldier replied, "General Hua has gone first, let us chase after you with you." ”

Ma Jiu's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "You are all members of the Flying Feather Army, you must be anxious for your family, I don't want to drag you down, you better hurry up and catch up with Brother Hua, I will be fine here alone, few people come to this road." ”

The two soldiers glanced at each other and felt that what Ma Jiu said was very reasonable, so they arched their hands towards Ma Jiu, left Ma Jiu together, and chased after Hua Xiong in front.

When Ma Jiu saw that the two soldiers were gone, he immediately sat down on the big rock, rested for a while, and then walked through the dense forest and walked in the southwest direction. After walking for about ten minutes, Ma Jiu stopped, looked around, and learned the call of an owl twice.

Not long after his voice fell, a group of people immediately appeared in the dense forest, and the leader was none other than Guo Yan, one of Dong Zhuo's confidants.

Guo Yan led dozens of soldiers to surround Ma Jiu, walked to Ma Jiu's side expressionlessly, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Is Huaxiong coming? ”

Ma Jiu patted his chest and said proudly: "I, Ma Jiu, am out of the horse, naturally I am ready to capture, and the general can rest assured." Hey? ”

Guo Yan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ma Jiu looked around. But he didn't find Li Ru, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is Lord Li?" ”

Guo Yan said coldly: "Lord Li is busy with official business, these little things, he doesn't need to deal with them, with me blocking here, Huaxiong can't escape 100%." ”

Ma Jiuyin said with a smile: "Then my Hanyang is too observant." I don't know ...... Master Li."

The soldier suddenly pressed Ma Jiu to the ground, interrupting what Ma Jiu was about to say, no matter how hard Ma Jiu struggled, he couldn't break free.

Ma Jiu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted, "General, what are you doing here?" I'm a meritorious person. ”

Guo Yan suddenly sneered, his face showed a little hideous, he pulled out the saber he was carrying, and said contemptuously: "Just you? Do you still want to be a Hanyang Taishou? You can betray even your own brother. What else would you not dare to do? You can betray Huaxiong today, and you will definitely betray Taishi tomorrow, do you want to be Hanyang Taishou? Let's go to the underworld and do it. Don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for listening to Li Ru's slander, he is more ruthless than anyone else, you are just a pawn of him. ”

As soon as Guo Yan's voice fell, he immediately swung his sword and killed Ma Jiu. Ma Jiu didn't even have time to scream, and the head was already separated from the body.

After killing Ma Jiu. Guo Yan hurriedly ordered: "You guys go to the mountain road to set up defenses to prevent reinforcements from arriving on the Linnan side." Send a signal to Yang Feng and Xu Huang to tell them that they can act. ”

"No!"

Hua Xiong was still walking along the mountain road with sixteen subordinates, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned around and saw the two subordinates he had left behind, he asked, "Why are you here?" What about Ma Jiu? ”

The soldier replied, "Ma Jiu said he would not be in danger. Let's follow the general to save people. ”

Hua Xiong said: "It's okay, we don't know the enemy's strength yet, one more person will have a better chance of winning, let's leave quickly." ”

The group walked forward for a while and came to a long and narrow mountain road. He was about to continue walking, but suddenly he heard a loud noise, but saw a fire appear in the southwest direction, and wisps of long smoke gradually rose into the air.

At this moment, many soldiers suddenly appeared around the mountain road, and the fire also rose, illuminating the entire narrow mountain road.

Hua Xiong and the others were all taken aback, and when they saw that the soldiers who appeared were all Dong Zhuo's soldiers, they hurriedly drew their blades and formed a circle back to back.

At the front and back ends of the mountain road, a general appeared, in front of him was a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion and a long beard reaching to his chest, and behind him was a young man wearing armor, wearing a copper helmet and holding a large axe. The rocks on both sides were full of soldiers, each with a bow and arrow, ready to be shot.

I saw the middle-aged man take a step forward, and said with a smile: "Huaxiong, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

As soon as this group of people came out, Hua Xiong knew that he had been tricked, but he never believed that the person who harmed him was Ma Jiu, so he shouted: "Ma Jiu - come out, you come out for me quickly -"

The middle-aged man said: "Don't shout, it's useless to shout, when the signal came, Ma Jiu was already in a different place." If you want to find him, go to the Netherworld. Oh, by the way, forget to tell you, the person who harmed you is Ma Jiu. ”

Hua Xiong regretted not listening to Li Tie's words, and he was annoyed, so he said to the middle-aged man: "You bastards, it must be you who coerced Ma Jiu......"

"In Xia Yang Feng, if you go to the Yin Cao Mansion, please give Ma Jiu a message and tell him, I, Yang Feng, thank him for this credit, and with your head, I can ask the Taishi for credit." The middle-aged man hugged his fists and said with a smile on his face, "However, the Taishi has confessed, if you surrender, we can not kill you, after all, you used to be the Taishi's henchman, as long as you are willing to surrender......"

"Phew! Sue Dong Zhuo old thief, I, Huaxiong, would rather die than surrender! Hua Xiong's face showed a hideousness, and he shouted loudly, "Brothers, we must not embarrass the lord, we must pull a cushion when we die, and kill his mother!" ”

"Kill!" Hua Xiong and a dozen people suddenly dispersed and began to rush towards both ends.

Yang Feng's face changed, and he hurriedly ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

At the sound of the order, hundreds of arrows were fired from all directions, turning those who tried to rush out into hedgehogs, and one by one they fell, and everyone was full of arrows, and let out a miserable cry.

Hua Xiong was hit by more than a dozen arrows in his body, and he didn't forget to use his last strength to endure the pain in his body, and threw the knife in his hand towards Yang Feng. Pity. Although the knife was thrown, it did not fall far away, and Hua Xiong and his eighteen subordinates died in this narrow mountain road in an instant.

Yang Feng looked at Hua Xiong's corpse, walked straight over, and kicked it with his foot. Seeing that Hua Xiong was motionless, he was sure that Hua Xiong was completely dead, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong, the Taishi also overestimates you, dealing with you alone, you are still working so hard, mobilizing hundreds of elite soldiers at once, I think you are just ......"

His words have not yet spoken. He suddenly felt that a huge hand was grabbed on his foot, and he was startled, and looked down to see Hua Xiong staring at him with two vicious eyes, and there were bursts of pain in his foot. He let out an exclamation, hurriedly drew his sword, and while shouting "bastard", he slashed the sword down, directly cutting off Hua Xiong's arm.

"Ahh Half of Hua Xiong's arm fell off his body, and his mouth was full of blood. With the last bit of strength, he raised his head slightly and spit out towards Yang Feng.

Yang Feng's face was sprayed with a mouthful of blood, he was furious at the moment, and he inserted his sword into Hua Xiong's heart, shouting, "Why aren't you dead yet?" I'll let you die...... Die...... Die for it......"

The moment the blade plunges into the heart. Hua Xiong died full of resentment, silent, with great resentment and regret, and could no longer move.

Yang Fengyi stabbed with his sword more than a dozen times in a row, stabbing Hua Xiong's chest into a bloody blur. This was not relieved, he saw that although Hua Xiong was dead, he was still glaring at him with his eyes, he immediately raised his foot and stomped Hua Xiong's face. He was about to stomp his second kick when his body was suddenly pushed hard, and he flipped straight backwards, falling heavily on the rock, and his nose and face were swollen. In anger, he jumped up and scolded: "Which rabbit cub doesn't want to live anymore and dares to push me?" Isn't it greasy......"

Before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw a young man with a big axe holding Hua Xiong's body and carrying it to his shoulder, and he hurriedly shouted, "Gongming! You pushed me just now? What are you doing? ”

The young man's head only turned slightly half a circle, and an extremely cold gaze fell on Yang Feng's body, under the reflection of the firelight, the young man's left cheek had a cyan birthmark, and it looked like the half of his face was extremely hideous, with his Dao Senhan gaze, in such a night, it made people feel like seeing a ghost after seeing it, which made people shudder.

Yang Feng was intimidated by the young man's gaze and took two steps back, a trace of horror appeared on his face, and he hurriedly asked, "You...... What are you doing? Don't cut off Hua Xiong's head soon, so that we can collect our troops and return to the camp and ask for merit from the Taishi. ”

The young man's surname is Xu Minghuang, the word is Gongming, he was originally a general of Yang Feng's department, and today he was recommended by Li Ru and was appointed as the general of the thief, and Yang Feng was on an equal footing. Seeing that Hua Xiong would rather die than surrender, he admired it in his heart, and saw that Yang Feng was going to destroy Hua Xiong's corpse, so he couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over quickly and pushed Yang Feng away. At this time, he just stood like that, stood there looking at Yang Feng, and said coldly: "Huaxiong, the righteous man, must be buried thickly." ”

Yang Feng's face was stunned, he knew this former general very well, when he appeased the white wave thief, if it wasn't for Xu Huang's hard work, he would not have succeeded in convincing the white wave thief, knowing that Xu Huang said nothing, he stopped talking. But as soon as he remembered the Taishi's explanation, he hurriedly said: "But the Taishi has explained, and I want Huaxiong's head to ......."

Xu Huang turned around and left, and said coldly: "I will bear the consequences alone." ”

Without waiting for Yang Feng to reply, Xu Huang said to his subordinates: "Bury everyone thickly." ”

Yang Feng was very unhappy in his heart, watching Xu Huang and his subordinates carry all the corpses aside and dig a pit in the dense forest for burial, he was extremely unhappy, but he had no choice but to sigh softly and order the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.

……

Lin Nan gathered a hundred cavalry outside the camp and let Zhao Yun lead him, following Li Tie in the direction where Hua Xiong had left.

When the people came to the bottom of the mountain, they saw a dozen war horses standing there, but the people were nowhere to be seen. Lin Nan hurriedly said: "Get off the horse and go up the mountain ......"

At this moment, the fire on the mountain suddenly burst out, Guo Yan stood on the top of the mountain with the soldiers, and smiled loudly at Lin Nan and the others under the mountain: "Li Ru is really clever, and he knows that someone will follow." Lin Nan, listen, Hua Xiong is dead, you must go to the Tiger Prison tomorrow, there will be a good show for you! ”

Lin Nan listened. I regretted that I was late, but when I saw that there were already rolling stones falling on the top of the mountain, I had no choice but to retreat temporarily and withdraw to the barracks.

"Huaxiong, don't worry. In two days, I will avenge you with my own hands! On the way back, Lin Nan was sad in his heart.

Hua Xiong's death made Lin Nan's peace a little sad, for him, Hua Xiong should die on the battlefield openly, not such a worthless death.

After returning to the barracks, Lin Nan didn't say anything, the whole person was unusually quiet, and he was silent in the big tent for a long time. Only then did he say the bland and tasteless sentence of "Tomorrow's War" with an expressionless face.

In the barracks, the news of Hua Xiong's death had spread, and the soldiers were full of righteous indignation, clamoring to avenge Hua Xiong, and secretly gearing up to maintain their weapons.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just dawning, Lin Nan came to the Tiger Prison with more than 8,000 subordinates. The drums of angry war were beaten. The sound of the drums came out melodiously, waking up the sleeping earth. Even the sun rose at this time, shining golden sunlight on the majestic tiger prison.

Lin Nan wore a helmet and armor, held a dragon spear, and under his crotch was a chestnut horse, and rode the horse forward for a while. He moved the spear in his hand forward and shouted: "Dong Zhuo, old thief, come out quickly and die!" ”

The Xiliang soldiers on the Tiger Prison had already been properly prepared, with a large number of crossbowmen and crossbowmen, and the word "Dong" fluttering in the wind. However. Dong Zhuo didn't show up, and even Lu Bu and the others didn't see it, only saw Li Ru followed by a few sparse generals, looking at the angry Lin Nan with a wicked smile.

"Lin Nan, you are really here, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!" Li Ru stroked a green beard on his chin, smiled and shouted loudly, "Yesterday it was Huaxiong who died, and today it will be your turn." ”

Lin Nan gritted his teeth with hatred, and at the same time saw a trace of abnormality, today's tiger prison was unusually calm, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others did not appear, replaced by Li Ru and a few people behind him who had never met. He knew that Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's brain, and when it came to being ruthless and vicious, he was even higher than the poisoner Jia Xu, if he hadn't died early, he was afraid that the name of the poisoner would fall on Li Ru's head.

"Let Dong Zhuo come out and die!" Lin Nan did not lose his mind, although Hua Xiong's death made him very sad, but he had more important things, the reason why he came alone with troops today was nothing more than to see Lu Bu and prepare to advance the agreed time by one day.

Li Ru stood on the city tower, holding the wall with both hands, laughed, and then said: "Kill chickens with a knife?" To deal with you, why should the master come forward in person? Come on, bring them all! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the people on the city tower were moving, and a group of armor soldiers walked up with dozens of men of all ages, and the faces of those men were wooden and numb, and even the clothes on their bodies were tattered and unkempt, and at first glance, they were no different from beggars.

Li Ru grabbed a gray-haired man who stopped beside him, clasped his five fingers tightly around the man's hair, and pulled it back hard, the man exclaimed, and raised his face, revealing an old-fashioned and vicissitudes of life, and his gray eyes revealed the helplessness of seeing through life and death.

"Lin Ziyu! You widen your eyes and take a closer look, to see who this old man is? Li Ru said dumbfounded.

Lin Nan's brows furrowed, and he looked at the old man who was caught by Li Ru, that face slowly emerged in his mind, and the memory of the real Lin Nan came to mind again, the old man's kind and kind face flashed quickly in his mind like a movie picture, and the fragmentary memory pictures outlined the figure of the patriarch of the Lin clan.

"Ziyu...... Is it Ziyu? The old man suddenly shouted out the words, but his eyes were blank, and there was no light in his gray eyes, "Ziyu, my good boy, you hurry up, get out of here, leave us alone, leave ...... quickly"

Before he could finish speaking, a human head fell from the tower, and blood gushed out, sprinkled on the battlements, and dripped down the walls.

"Uncle Tai!" Lin Nan saw this scene at the gate, and couldn't help but scream, people's hearts are flesh and blood, although he is not the real Lin Nan, but he occupies Lin Nan's body, seeing that his uncle, who has always cared for Lin Nan, has his head cut off since he was a child, his heart will inevitably become uncomfortable.

Li Ru was carrying the bloody sword, and when he saw Lin Nan under the gate, he was shocked for a while, bared his teeth and laughed wildly, let out his words, and shouted loudly: "Lin Ziyu! These are all members of your Lin clan, a total of more than 300 people, if you are willing to kill yourself today, the Taishi will let your clansmen go, and they will be worshiped with delicious food and drink. It is very cost-effective to exchange the death of one of you for the lives of more than 300 members of the clan. I'm counting to ten, and if you don't do anything, then don't blame me for being rude. One...... 2. ......"

Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Xun You and others behind Lin Nan were all indignant, and they couldn't wait to pounce directly and kill Li Ru quickly, this kind of means of destroying human psychology is the most shocking. couldn't help but everyone began to shout, and they all asked for orders to attack the Tiger Prison.

Jia Xu saw Lin Nan riding a horse back and forth in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, and with a soft shout of "driving", he galloped to Lin Nan's side, and hurriedly whispered: "Lord, the relatives of those who have become big things can also be killed, the lord has already put down the lives of these people since he left Liangzhou, why are there any emotions today?" In order to seize the world, parents, brothers, and children can kill each other, so why worry about the people of the clan? ”

Lin Nan's heart at this time was like a mirror, he had indeed abandoned the Lin clan, but when he saw his relatives being killed in front of him, and he couldn't do anything about it, he felt extremely sad and indignant in his heart. A serpent-like gaze appeared in his eyes, staring closely at Li Ru who was smiling on the city tower, this kind of destruction of human nature was simply a torment.

He closed his eyes tightly, and when he heard Li Ru shouting to ten, dozens of screams followed, and the sound of human heads falling was like a boulder beating on his heart, making him feel unbearable pain. He bit his lower lip tightly, his teeth bit his lips out of blood, two lines of salty tears flowed from his eyes, and he said silently in his heart: "Lin Nan, I'm sorry, I can't save your clan......"

Jia Xu saw Lin Nan shed tears, although he knew that Lin Nan's heart was like a knife, but he didn't want to see a weak lord, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, the one who has achieved great things ......"

Lin Nan suddenly opened his eyes, and two sharp gazes shot out of his eyes, staring directly at Jia Xu, and at the same time roaring in a low voice: "You shut up!" I know what to do! ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the formation, but he said slowly in his heart: "Yes, this is what it looks like, only this way is worthy of being my lord." ”

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Lin Nan raised his head, staring at Li Ru on the city tower with indifferent eyes, and seeing that another group of people were pushed up, he said loudly to Li Ru: "Li Ru! What you owe me today, I will definitely let you pay it back in the future, these more than 300 lives, I will definitely ask you and Dong Zhuo for it back! ”

Li Ru had just counted to three in his mouth, and suddenly heard Lin Nan say such words, and then looking at the expression and eyes on his face, it had become indispensable. His heart was suddenly stunned, and he said slowly: "This person is really so cold-blooded? I don't believe you're just standing there and watching! ”

"Kill all the men, throw all the children under the city walls, and pull all the women to the city gate to stand by!" Li Ru's eyes also showed an extremely fierce gaze, and he shouted at the people around him. (To be continued......)
