Stone Bridge Village.

At night, the mountain village was as quiet as usual, and the sound of hurried footsteps was unusually harsh in the quiet mountain village, and the two houses near the entrance of the village were lit with lights, and the villagers came out in their clothes.

"Hurry up and call Feng Aweng! The thieves have arrived, and the roots are in danger! "This is a person who rushed from the county seat to report the news.

Since Zhang Huaiyu selected more than a dozen teenagers in the village to go to the county government to protect Song Gensheng, Feng Aweng felt very uneasy, and had already quietly sent the villagers to live in the county seat to inquire about the news.

Feng Aweng hurriedly limped out of the house with a torch, staring at the villagers who reported the news, and said anxiously: "How many thieves are here?" Can the root be injured? ”

The villager hurriedly said: "I don't know, I just heard that the thieves had arrived outside the city, so I rushed back immediately." ”

Feng Aweng stomped his feet and said: "This Zhang Huaiyu only brought a dozen people away, what a big deal!" Gensheng is a county order, and he is a person from our village, if he loses, Gu Qing will not be able to spare the old man when he comes back! ”

"Feng Aweng, Gu Qing and Miss Zhang are not here, you can always have an idea."

Feng Aweng looked around at the villagers holding torches around him, and said slowly: "Whether we can help or not, we have to go, all the children in the village who have participated in the drill will go, as well as the young and strong people in the village, those who do not lack arms and legs, and those who dare to fight hard with others, also go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, countless villagers took a step forward at the same time, and said in unison: "I am willing to go!" ”

Feng Aweng recovered his demeanor on the battlefield back then, and said decisively: "There are not enough people in our village, come a few legs, go to the nearby village immediately, and tell them that Qingcheng County has made Song Gensheng in trouble!" These days Song County ordered the gentry, returned the fields, repaired water conservancy, and supported the farmers, all he did after taking office was benevolent, and those people from other villages also benefited, if the conscience was not eaten by the dog, he helped the Song County Order to survive this crisis, if he didn't dare to do it, it should be the Song County Order's benevolent government to feed the dog! ”

"Everyone, set off for the county seat immediately, go!"

Without hesitation, dozens of villagers, even the craftsmen and miscellaneous servants of the porcelain kiln on the mountain and the newly relocated villagers from other villages also followed Feng Aweng, and the torches on the mountain road were mighty like a long snake winding for miles, quickly heading towards the county seat.

…………

The steps are staggering, and the sword momentum is in chaos.

Zhang Huaiyu fell into a state of half-madness and half-consciousness, her eyes only had the enemy, and her consciousness only wanted to take the enemy's life.

Gu Qing's anxious shout Zhang Huaiyu didn't care, she only had the enemy in her sight and consciousness.

Gu Qing gritted his teeth, rushed forward at the risk of danger, and grabbed Zhang Huaiyu's sleeve from behind, Zhang Huaiyu's consciousness was almost blank, and when he found that there was someone behind him, he immediately stabbed it with a backhand without hesitation, Gu Qing's eyelids jumped, the lightning flashed, and the sword passed through the clothes under his ribs, and he was almost stabbed by her.

"Zhang Huaiyu, are you crazy? Stand back with me! Gu Qing shouted.

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, a touch of apology flashed in his eyes, and he followed Gu Qing without saying a word, and retreated to the door of Song Gensheng's house.

The situation is already very bad, the gap in numbers and combat quality, Gu Qing's side is destined to be unable to compete with the dead soldiers of the palace, and until now, there are only a dozen people left on Gu Qing's side, and there are dozens of people on the other side, and the gap is still very large.

"Gu Qing, you can only separate at this time, you take two people to escape with Song Gensheng, and I and everyone will help you drag them down." Zhang Huaiyu said resolutely.

Gu Qing sneered: "What crazy are you talking about?" We fled for our lives, you are a hero, how tragic you are, right? Life and death depend on the will of heaven, and you can't retreat half a step from the place where you should be nailed! ”

Zhang Huaiyu said coldly: "Paying such a heavy price and dying so many people is just to protect Song Gensheng, if he dies, how can our death be worth?" ”

Gu Qing glanced back at the closed door and said toughly: "Everyone's life is fate, we did our best, Song Gensheng should accept his fate regardless of life or death, his only privilege is that he can be the last one to be killed by the enemy after we die to protect him." ”

In the middle of the courtyard, the situation is getting worse and worse, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes are gradually unable to resist the stormy attack, and they are seeing defeat and retreat.

Gu Qing raised his voice and said, "Come back in front of me!" Concentrate your forces, don't scatter. ”

The heroes of the rivers and lakes fought and retreated, and gradually gathered around Gu Qing, while Gu Qing was stubbornly guarding in front of the house.

The dead soldiers also began to gather, silently surrounding them, surrounding the heroes in the center, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Gu Qing's eyes stared at the dead soldier led by him, and said, "In addition to working hard, do you and I have any other way to solve the impasse in front of us?" ”

The dead man at the head said coldly: "Cut off Song Gensheng's head and give it to me, this matter can be eliminated." ”

Gu Qing smiled: "Is it okay to negotiate with some sincerity?" If we can cut off Song Gensheng's head, why do we have to kill so many people? This is unrealistic, let's talk about it on another condition, such as...... Can it be solved with money? You can make a price, no matter how high the price, I will never counteroffer, you can say as much as you want. ”

A look of mockery flashed in the dead man's eyes: "So, you admit that the current situation is unfavorable and you want to spend money to buy your life?" ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "In essence, I am actually a businessman, I don't have so much self-esteem, I don't have so much loyalty, and I firmly believe that the vast majority of all disputes in the world can be solved with money, yes, I admit that the current situation is indeed a disadvantage, if you and I continue to fight, we will probably be wiped out, and there will probably not be many of you left......"

"People, I don't feel ashamed to admit it when it's time to admit it. So I wanted to try, if money could solve this dilemma, I would be willing to spend as much as I wanted. ”

After thinking about it, Gu Qing added: "His Royal Highness King Ji's land in Qingcheng County was recovered by Song Gensheng, and I am willing to convert His Highness's losses into silver money and compensate him, and you can make another price, on the condition that you withdraw in exchange for the war, how about it?" ”

The dead man's eyes were like those of a cat teasing rats, full of mockery and coldness.

When Gu Qing saw his eyes, he knew that the conditions he proposed would not be accepted.

Sure enough, the dead man shook his head slowly and said, "You and I can't talk about it, the order I got is to kill Song Gensheng, and if anyone protects Song Gensheng, kill him as well." If we don't see Song Gensheng's head, we can't make a difference. Don't talk nonsense, let's fight again. ”

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "If it's useless to talk about money, do you have any other conditions?" If we can replace you in the war, we can also talk. ”

"No, we only need Song Gensheng's head." The Dead Man said coldly.

Gu Qing actually smiled, and he looked like he was smiling happily.

Li Twelve Niang's expression was discouraged, describing her embarrassment, showing signs of losing her strength, seeing Gu Qing smiling brightly, Li Twelve Niang frowned and said, "Are you stupid?" I can still laugh at such a season. ”

Gu Qing was still laughing and didn't explain. Zhang Huaiyu said: "In the past, the overlord of Chu broke the cauldron and sank the boat, cutting off the retreat of the soldiers, and the retreat of the Chu army was extinct. Gu Qing is also ruined, what he said just now was actually said to us, so that we no longer have any illusions about the enemy, and only when we fight for our lives can we kill the killer with the same heart, and exchange life for life. ”

Gu Qing glanced at her in surprise, and her smile gradually faded.

When did this woman know herself so well? When I was in Shiqiao Village at the beginning, I remember not chatting with her a few times, is she a natural confidant?

Luo Fei, who was seriously injured, choked a few times, and laughed miserably: "Since it has been decided to protect the thoroughness of the Song County Order, there is no reason to give up halfway, this life will be explained tonight, Luo has already lost hope of life, brothers, work hard!" ”

Turning his head to look at the closed door, Luo Fei said loudly: "Song County Order, you are a good official, you have not lost the common people, and the common people have not failed you, you must live a long life, so that we can die unjustly." ”

Luo Fei clenched the big axe in his hand, and suddenly rushed towards the dead soldiers, the big axe turned up and down, and the two dead soldiers were caught off guard and were knocked to the ground, and the rest of the dead soldiers reacted and waved their swords to slash away, Luo Fei only lasted less than three rounds before being chopped to death by the knife.

Inside the room, Song Gensheng's tears had blurred his vision, but he was still sitting on the side of the desk, silently crying.

“…… The land is lost to all the people, gathered in the powerful, the people lose their land and become slaves, the property of the world is raised for the extravagance of the powerful, the hunger is ignored, the smuggling of the state is gone, the sin of the powerful is not the invasion of the land, the sin is shaking the society, the encroachment of the country, the Son of Heaven must not ignore ......it."

Outside.

Luo Fei died suddenly, the heroes suddenly turned red, and the dead soldiers also launched a final charge at this time, and dozens of people rushed towards the heroes.

Chen Fufeng smiled heroically and said, "Brother Luo Xian's heroic spirit is not far away, Chen is on the road tonight, and it is also at this moment!" ”

The long sword swung, Chen Fufeng faced the enemy, and the enemy just turned his back to the enemy, the long sword magically turned in a direction in his hand, and after the back was slashed twice, the two dead soldiers died under his magical swordsmanship, and exchanged injuries for lives, which was purely a way of fighting with the same end.

The dead soldiers suddenly had a brief panic, and Chen Fufeng's lifeless style of play shocked them, but the dead soldiers are dead soldiers after all, strictly speaking, from the moment they fight, they have the heart of death, and they are ruthless to the enemy and themselves.

Chen Fufeng was stabbed twice in the back, his body was already a little staggered, his steps were vague and swayed a few steps, and a long halberd stabbed out in the oblique stab, stabbing Chen Fufeng in the ribs, Chen Fufeng held the halberd pole with one hand with a hideous expression, and slashed it with his backhand, and the dead soldier who attacked him was immediately chopped to death, Chen Fufeng's body shook a few times, revealing a smile of relief, and fell to the ground and died.

Inside the house, Song Gen bit his lower lip to death, his lower lip had been bitten by him and bled out, blood flowed down his chin, dripping on the snow-white music, one drop, two drops, red blood turned blue.

“…… Under the prosperous era, the accumulation of disadvantages is deeper, the enclosure of the powerful is the first of the accumulation of disadvantages, the land of all the people is seized by the powerful, the grain of the country is attributed to the private property of the powerful, the private pocket is filled by stealing the country, the fat clan relatives are thin from the world, the people who have lost their land are in the wilderness, the endowment of the treasury is gradually passing away, the people's grievances are boiling, the soup is stopped, the land has no particles, and the prosperous era is geometric? The minister Song Gensheng was born and died, and the holy son of heaven bowed down and listened, saving the danger of the Tang Dynasty, solving the upside down of the people, continuing the eternity of the society, and leaving the holy name of history. Qingcheng ordered Song Gensheng to record the music and wait for the decree. ”

After writing a letter of recital, Song Gensheng put down his pen, saw two drops of blood on the recital, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to re-transcribe it, folded it up, and carefully put it in his arms.

Listening to the sound of sword fighting outside, Song Gensheng thought of so many people dying to protect him, and his best brother Gu Qing didn't know life and death outside, and the burden of his long-suppressed heart finally couldn't bear it, Song Gensheng had a sweet throat, spit out a mouthful of blood, hung his head and held the table with both hands, Song Gensheng gasped violently for a moment, and finally straightened his clothes, got up and opened the door.

The door opened, Gu Qing looked back at him in surprise, and said, "Are you done writing?" ”

Song Gensheng nodded and smiled: "It's done." ”

Gu Qing found that the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and said, "What's wrong with you?" Hurt? ”

Song Gensheng shook his head, took out the song from his arms and handed it to Gu Qing, and said, "You help me put it away." ”

After speaking, Song Gensheng picked up a horizontal knife from a corpse on the ground, clenched the handle of the knife firmly, took a deep breath, and said, "Now, I live and die with you!" ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I suddenly feel that you seem to have grown up." ”

Song Gensheng burst into tears and said: "The moment someone dies to protect me, I have grown up. Gu Qing, I was really wrong this time......"

"It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, we probably won't survive tonight." Gu Qing laughed miserably, he had already thrown away the machine crossbow, holding a halberd in his hand, and his movements were jerky and flattened forward.

The dead soldiers quietly surrounded him, and the people who led him had already seen Song Gensheng, his eyes narrowed, and he had recognized him as the target of this kill from Song Gensheng's official uniform, so he suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Song Gensheng from a distance of several zhang, and shouted: "It's him!" Kill! ”

Li Twelve Niang looked up to the sky and smiled, and said sharply: "If you want to kill him, kill me first!" ”

After saying that, Li Twelve Niang rushed out, and the rest of the heroes were all friends of Li Twelve Niang, and when they saw her rushing out, the heroes immediately rushed out.

Song Gensheng was only left with Liu Hong and a group of other teenagers, and Gu Qing held the halberd in front of Song Gensheng.

Staring at the battle situation, Gu Qingtou didn't look back and said: "Liu Hong, you line up to protect Gensheng, if the thieves kill me, I will go first, if I die, it will be your turn." ”

Liu Hong responded loudly, and the teenagers immediately lined up the formation according to the content of the weekday drills, and protected Song Gensheng in the middle of the formation.

Song Gensheng said with tears in his eyes: "Gu Qing, I dragged you down......"

Gu Qing didn't have time to answer, a halberd quietly stabbed over, Gu Qing was startled, hurriedly dodged sideways, and then held the halberd and waved it fiercely, blocking the opponent's halberd, and finally Gu Qing used all his strength to stab forward, but stabbed in the air, the moment the halberd pierced the air, Gu Qing knew that something was wrong, and subconsciously dodged to dodge, but after all, it was not as quick as the other party's skill, Gu Qing only felt numb under his ribs, and the tip of the other party's halberd cut through his lower ribs on the left side.
