Chapter 318: After the Fierce Battle
What were the beliefs of the ancients?
Why fight? Fight for whom?
It is difficult for someone to explain this problem clearly, if you ask Wang Gui this question, Wang Gui, who has never read a book, may not be able to say it, just like at this moment, he may not know what he is working so hard for.
Defending the family and the country, justice and justice, these reasons are too grand and far-fetched, Wang Gui is just a small soldier, he does not have such a high consciousness.
If you have to find a reason, loyalty to Gu Qing is partial, feelings for Pao Ze are part, and the guilt of betraying Pao Ze and Gu Qing for becoming the eyeliner of the court is also partial.
Human beings are complex animals, and there are reasons for doing everything, and most of the reasons are not so simple, but very complex, such as Wang Gui's desperate reasons.
Desperately trying just to be faithful and to redeem one's soul.
At this moment, Wang Gui couldn't think so far-reaching, he knew that when it was time to work hard, he must not hesitate, do not be afraid, there are many things in the world that are more important than death.
To get rid of this enemy of Hou Ye, at least drag him and wait for reinforcements to arrive, this is the only thought in Wang Gui's mind.
The roof had been silent for a long time, and Wang Gui was not sure if the enemy was still on the roof or had fled far away.
But his physical strength at the moment is only enough to support the roof, if the enemy has fled far away, tonight's sniping with Wang Laosan will be a complete failure, and he will take half his life.
The door of the earthen house was hidden, and it was pitch black inside, and Wang Gui looked through the window lattice under the eaves, and there were two corpses lying horizontally in the room, and they couldn't see the appearance clearly, obviously the marksman killed the owner of the house and occupied the house.
There is a staircase on the north side of the house, which should lead to the roof, Wang Gui looked at the staircase through the window lattice, and struggled for a long time.
It's too risky to take the stairs, maybe the enemy's arrows are waiting for him. But climbing up to the roof from the outside is too physically demanding, Wang Gui's physical strength can't support such a huge consumption, he loses more and more blood, and then he has to save every bit of physical strength and drag it until Hou Ye's reinforcements arrive.
The mood was very anxious, life and death were no longer in his consideration, and Wang Gui's only thought at the moment was how to get rid of this enemy, at any cost.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Wang Gui found that there were two ways out of this earthen house, like most houses, there was a front door and a back door, Wang Gui was in the courtyard of the front door at the moment, and there was a back door on the north side of the earth house, if the enemy wanted to escape, there were only two options, unless he could fly.
In the distance, Wang Laosan's cursing was still coming intermittently, and his voice was hoarse, and he was still chattering and scolding.
Wang Gui had cold sweat on his face, gritted his teeth and cursed secretly. This dog only knows how to scold, I don't know that Lao Tzu is dying, and I don't want to say that I will come to reinforce it, if Wang Laosan comes, one will seal the front door and the other will seal the back door, no matter what the result is, at least there is a fight.
The roof had not moved for a long time, and Wang Gui was getting more and more anxious, he didn't know if the enemy had run away, or if he had calmed down and waited for the opportunity to kill him.
In a hurry, Wang Gui inadvertently saw a pile of firewood and sawdust piled up in the corner of the wall under the eaves, which was the fire of the people's cooking, Wang Gui was stunned, and then showed a hint of joy.
If no one closes the door, try something else.
Squatting down with difficulty, Wang Gui took out the fire chips from his arms, found a pile of flammable wood chips, piled firewood on them, blew up the fire chips, and lit the wood chips.
The fire slowly lit up, getting bigger and bigger, and after the firewood was ignited, Wang Guichao still had some burning firewood in the house, and then held the arrow in his hand and moved slowly towards the back door.
A fire ignites the house, and the front door is sealed by fire, so the enemy's only way to retreat is the back door.
Wang Gui squatted at the corner outside the back door, like a dormant old turtle, holding an arrow in one hand and covering the wound on his waist with the other, closing his eyes and waiting for the decisive battle.
The fire in the house has become bigger and bigger, the flames have risen to the sky, the houses outside have moved, the gong has been sounded, some people are shouting for water, and more and more people are awakened.
Wang Gui was still crouching in the corner of the back door, with a strange smile on his face.
This difficult enemy is not invincible in the world after all, as long as he guards the back door tonight, he will not escape.
Soon, there was a sound of small and quiet footsteps in the back door, Wang Gui opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, the wound didn't seem to hurt anymore, the strength of his whole body was concentrated on his hand, and he was holding the arrow in his hand.
Wang Gui only has the strength to strike a blow, so this blow must be steady and ruthless, and if he misses this blow, he has no strength to send a second blow.
The sound of small footsteps was getting closer and closer to him, and the sound had reached the back door, Wang Gui bowed up in the dark, like a cheetah aiming at its prey and preparing to attack, the whole person presented a very strange but terrifying posture, it was the arrow that was about to leave the string, and it was the murderous trick of the peerless swordsman who had been immersed in it all his life.
The footsteps were fine, and Wang Gui could already feel the other party's slightly flustered mood.
Tonight's encounter was quite unexpected, Wang Gui was surprised to encounter such a difficult master, and the enemy was surprised by Wang Gui's undying will to die.
The duel between the assassin and the warrior constitutes a splendid picture of poetry and fire, romantic and bloody. 49 eBooks
The enemy had stepped out of the back door, and in a panicked mood, his sixth sense seemed to be less effective, and he didn't notice Wang Gui hiding outside the back door.
Wang Gui's hand covering the wound also let go, looking at a thin figure that appeared outside the back door, he suddenly grinned silently, and then, like a cheetah, pounced on it, wrapped its arms around the enemy's neck, and the arrow in the other hand slammed down without hesitation and inserted into the enemy's abdomen.
The enemy was caught off guard, and before he could react, there was a sharp pain in his abdomen, so painful that he couldn't help but let out a miserable cry, and then twisted his body, trying to break free from the hand that bound his neck, but the hand was very strong, and he was clamped to death, and he didn't let go.
Regardless of the ugly posture of the fight, the enemy was like a donkey on a stumbling donkey, kicking hard in the back, Wang Gui was kicked, and he also let out a muffled snort, but the hand he held the arrow twisted and drilled in the enemy's body, and the arrow entered the body for a few points, and the enemy screamed again.
The two struggled with each other like this, entangled, fought, and fought to the death.
Eventually, both lost their strength and rolled to the ground.
When the enemy was about to continue to struggle hard, he found that the hand around his neck had been loosened, and Wang Gui under him had lost the last trace of strength, so he could only open his eyes and look at him, with regret in his eyes.
The enemy was deeply shaken.
He couldn't understand why there was such a warrior in this small town who was so determined to fight and unyielding and undying, and the dead soldiers raised by rich and noble families did not have such a shocking and terrifying will.
He...... What exactly is the picture?
Covering the wound in his abdomen, the enemy did not dare to draw his arrows, and listening to the increasingly chaotic and approaching footsteps, he panicked and looked for a direction, ready to flee from here.
As soon as he took a difficult step, he heard a calm and calm voice nearby.
"Surround the nearby houses, don't let anyone go, enter the Divine Shooting Camp, search for the whereabouts of the enemy, whether dead or alive, and find out the guy who is hiding his head and tail for me!"
"Han Jie, take the guards in and find Wang Gui and Wang Laosan!"
Hearing this series of orders, a trace of despair appeared in the eyes of the enemy.
He knew that he had lost all hope of escaping.
…………
The next day, as soon as the news of a businessman being shot dead outside the shop in the new bazaar spread, the Jiedu embassy quickly posted a notice to reassure the people.
The notice said that an enemy had infiltrated the city to assassinate innocent merchants, waited for an opportunity to destroy the market in the city, and disturbed the hearts of the merchants and the people.
In the barracks of the garrison camp, Wang Gui woke up from a coma, staring blankly at the top of the white tent.
Wang Gui's face was still ugly, so pale that there was no trace of blood, two military doctors sat in the camp tent, dozing off with their chin in their hands, after a whole night of rescue, the two doctors finally saved Wang Gui under the murderous gaze of Gu Qing and Han Jie and others.
Although the person was saved, Wang Gui lost too much blood and needed to stay in bed for a long time, and he also needed various blood-replenishing drugs and food to recover.
Seeing Wang Gui open his eyes, Wang Laosan, who was guarding next to him, suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Dog offal, you're finally alive!"
Wang Gui looked at him sluggishly, opened his mouth and snorted a few times, but found that he couldn't make a sound, he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Wang Laosan got up and ran towards the outside of the tent, shouting and shouting everywhere.
The two doctors were also awakened, hurriedly gathered in front of him to look at his complexion, and lifted his eyelids to look at his pupils, and the other doctor took the pulse for a while, and exhaled a long breath, and the two doctors showed a look of affirmation, and then showed a wry smile to each other.
Wang Gui lived, and they could also make a difference, otherwise they were really afraid that Han Jie and that group of guards would swallow them alive.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, Gu Qing walked in quickly, sat in front of Wang Gui, opened his eyelids as usual and looked at it, although he didn't understand it, but ...... Visiting the wounded usually has to go through this procedure, and I don't know what to see in my nose.
"It's good to come back to life, haha, Wang Gui, you kid is really fateful, there have been two life and death catastrophes before and after, I doubt that you have the aura of the protagonist, and you haven't died after so much blood...... Gu Qing laughed.
Wang Gui struggled to squeeze out a smile, although he didn't understand what the "protagonist halo" was, but seeing Hou Ye so happy, it shouldn't be a bad word.
Seeing that Wang Gui seemed to be trying to open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, Gu Qing waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to speak, you take care of it, I have ordered someone to buy blood-replenishing medicinal materials from Hu Shang, don't worry, you can't die, and it is nothing to bleed, but the wound on the waist is a little troublesome, as if it hurts the internal organs......"
Wang Gui said vigorously: "Last night...... Enemy ......"
"The enemy has been taken by us, he was captured alive, and the sharpshooter in our army is not weaker than him, especially since he was also injured not lightly, last night our sharpshooter shot him in the thigh with an arrow in the alley, he couldn't run, and he was reluctant to commit suicide, so he could only be captured alive by us."
