On this night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and under the night, I couldn't see my fingers, and the darkness was like an abyss.

Outside the city, on a small road.

There are only a few lonely torches flickering light, under the reflection of the light, the heads are stacked, the black shadows are heavy, and the black pressure is a piece of soldiers, waiting in formation, there are about five hundred troops here, including two hundred private soldiers of the Gu clan, and other families have also scattered a lot of private soldiers, and there are five hundred soldiers and horses.

This should be the last elite soldiers and horses that the Wuyin warriors can squeeze out.

In the past few battles, the major warrior clans of Wuyin lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and guards who could fight well were all killed by Mushan.

Although there is no shortage of people in the Shi clan, and there are countless young and strong people among the long-term tenants in the clan, it is not easy to train an elite, after all, soldiers with combat ability must first have the courage to kill.

"What time is it?" Gu Qiu was a young man less than thirty years old, tall and tall, wearing battle armor, holding a spear in his hand, riding on horseback, and the light emitted by his eyes was quite sharp.

"It's just past midday!"

One of the guards looked at the sky and a funnel he had with him, and gave his hand to report.

"What's going on in Jingping Village?" Gu Qiu's eyes were hazy.

The city has let people pretend to be yellow turbans and thieves, burning fire and chaos, if Zhao Ping does not lead the troops back to suppress, he is derelict in his duty, as long as he leads the troops back, Jingping Village will be completely left with some useless old and weak women and children.

He must set foot in Jingping Village.

Mushan wiped out the Zhu family, slapped the face of the Wuyin Shi clan, this slap can beat them screaming, these years the Wuyin Shi clan flaunted their might, in the county to say the same, even if the officials of the county government have to visit them, now the prestige has plummeted.

This enmity must be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Only in this way can the prestige of the Shi clan be re-established and the county town can be re-dominated, instead of being peed on the neck by some cats and dogs.

"It's still quiet!" One of the guards replied.

"Did the people in the county government who went to report to Zhao Ping go?"

"I've already gone, but Zhao Ping hasn't reacted yet, he may not be willing to lead his troops back to the city!"

"Humph!"

Gu Qiu snorted coldly: "I don't believe that he is indifferent, send someone to keep an eye on him, and if there is any flurry, he must report it immediately!" ”

"No!"

The guards nodded, and immediately arranged for a few government soldiers to keep an eye on them.

"Brother Ziguan, the elite combat soldiers of our family are here, are you sure of this battle?" The one who opened the question was Chen Yu of the Chen family, who was also a strong man with internal strength, and led the fifty elite soldiers of the Chen family to participate in the battle.

"Brother Zhonghao, is your knife not sharp enough, or your courage has become too small, Jingping Village is just a few old and weak women and children, we have five hundred elites, kill him all over the house, what are you afraid of!"

Gu Qiu said coldly.

"Brother Ziguan, you also know that these days, our family has been too damaged, I just don't want this battle to be like in the past, follow the Zhu family's soldiers to fight, but hundreds of elite family children were buried under the hammer of Mushan and never returned!"

"Mushan is now difficult to protect himself, he is a hundred miles away, how can he lead his troops back to help, Brother Zhonghao don't have to worry!"

"Hopefully!"

As the voices of the two ended, the darkness turned into a quiet atmosphere again, and there was a dark chest tightness that pressed the soldiers of the Shi clan and gasped.

"Report!"

About half an hour later, a soldier galloped on his horse and shouted in return.

"Say!"

"Report to Lord Gu Qiu, Zhao Ping and the thief Cao's soldiers and horses have begun to return to the city!"

"Good!"

Gu Qiu's eyes were bright and bright, the momentum of the whole person exploded, the breath of his body was like a sword, and he became sharp, he raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Everyone listen to my orders, go straight to Jingping Village, all those who stand in my way are waiting, kill without mercy, give me a fierce step on them, and raise the prestige of my clan!" ”

"Flatten them and raise the prestige of our clan!"

"Flatten them and raise the prestige of our clan!"

The generals suddenly boiled and screamed, although because of the lack of integration of the soldiers of each family, the voices were a little mixed, but the indomitable momentum was shown.

****************************************

Jingping Village.

A great migration is begining.

"Hurry, hurry!"

"Sixth aunt, carry the ninth mother-in-law, we have to get out of here quickly!"

"Eh, I've finally settled down, and I'm going to leave again!"

"Mother-in-law of the Jin family, don't complain, after they finish the battle, we can come back again!"

"Don't take too many things, just pack up some soft stuff!"

"Be fast, the enemy will come soon, we can't make trouble for the sons!"

"Pack up and go up the hill first!"

“……”

Some restless voices were rising and falling, and women and children were holding the hands of children, holding the old man's body, speeding up the pace of his feet, and heading towards a mountain road behind the village, which went straight up the hill.

"Uncle Huo, what's going on outside?"

In a wing room of the Martyrs' Hall, after fleeing for many days, the Taiping Holy Maiden, who finally slept peacefully, was awakened by this noisy figure.

"Your Highness, something may have happened to Jingping Village!"

Zhang Huo scrupulously abides by his duties and has been guarding the door.

So when Jingping Village began to prepare for the relocation, he suddenly became cautious, and gathered the only remaining Taiping Divine Guard soldiers under his command to guard the door and protect the Taiping Holy Maiden.

The Holy Maiden of Taiping put on her clothes, wore a veil, and covered her peerless face, then gently pushed open the door, looked out of the way, and looked at the aisle, one by one, with their burdens, hurriedly towards the back mountain.

"What's going on?" The Holy Maiden of the Peace asked.

"Looks like someone is coming!"

Zhang Huo reported: "Now the old and weak women and children in Jingping Village are moving, but their young master seems to have organized a group of teenagers and is preparing to resist the enemy, the specific situation is not clear!" ”

At this time, Zhang Gu, the chief of Jingping Village, hurriedly walked over from outside, and when he passed by the wing, he saw the Taiping Holy Maiden and more than a dozen Taiping Divine Guards standing at the door, his expression was solemn, and he hurriedly bowed his hand: "Zhang Gu under the command of the shepherd, meet His Highness!" ”

It's a courtesy.

Although the troubled times of this era have gradually appeared, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, all parts of the country have dominated the army and horses, and the etiquette and music have collapsed, and some façade etiquette is still indispensable at that time, which is a matter of respect.

"The Yellow Turban has fallen, the peace has collapsed, I am just an ordinary little woman now, Uncle Zhang does not need to be polite, the title of His Royal Highness is already a passing cloud, I see that Jingping Village is moving, I want to ask, what is going on?"

The Holy Maiden of the Peace asked in a harmonious voice, "Is there anything I can do to help?" ”

She is a phoenix in distress, and she knows that she has no arrogant capital, so her posture is very low.

"Your Highness is Your Highness, our big boss respects His Highness very much, and the small ones don't dare to break the rules of the big bosses!"

After Zhang Gu's greetings, he didn't say much, after all, the situation is tense now: "Today, I am fortunate to welcome His Royal Highness, I should have set up a banquet to celebrate, but the big boss is fighting on the front line, and there are some younger people who take advantage of the absence of the big boss to prepare to attack our Jingping Village, so I also want to ask His Royal Highness to move a little jade step, first go to hide on the hill with some old and weak women and children in the village, and offend, after the battle is over, Zhang Gu personally apologized to His Highness, and the little one will leave first!" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the response of the Taiping Holy Maiden, and left quickly, now he didn't have time to catch up with the Taiping Holy Maiden, and wanted to move the more than 1,000 people in the village up the mountain in less than half an hour, every minute and every second was very precious.

"Your Highness, he is so rude!"

Zhang Huo looked at it, and felt a little indignant in his heart, this person had to wait until the holy woman replied before he finished speaking.

"If you encounter a strong enemy, will you still greet someone who is not important?" The Taiping Saintess shook her head: "He can still greet us now, which shows how much he respects us, and he also let us evacuate to the mountain to take refuge, which is already very polite!" ”

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" A soldier of the Divine Guard looked at the mess outside, gritted his teeth, and said: "It doesn't seem to be peaceful here, I don't know who the enemy is, if it is more than a thousand officers and soldiers, they will definitely die, why don't we leave first!" ”

"They just saved us, if it wasn't for their action, we would have been in trouble, and now that people are in trouble, if we leave, wouldn't it be a little ungrateful!"

Someone blushed and whispered.

"I know it's a little immoral, but we must take the safety of Her Highness the Holy Maiden as our own responsibility, and we must not let Her Highness the Holy Maiden be in danger!"

"It's better to let a few people escort the holy woman away, and we will stay to help defend against the enemy!"

"We only have a few people now, and we still divide the troops, so we can't take care of both ends!"

"So what do you say?"

After some noise, they disagreed, so their eyes looked at the Taiping Holy Maiden and Zhang Huo.

"Your Highness, your safety is still important!" Zhang Huo sighed and said in a low voice.

It's not that he doesn't remember his kindness, as a warrior with a ranger background, he is grateful, but in his heart, nothing is more important than the safety of the Holy Maiden of Taiping, whether it is his principles, or his morality, or even his name, it is not as good as the safety of the Holy Maiden.

"How's your injuries?"

The Holy Maiden of Peace was silent for a while, her beautiful eyes flickered, she looked at everyone, and suddenly asked.

"Ah Tong was slapped in the face, his internal strength was disordered, his meridians were fragile, he should not move, Chen Song injured his eyes, he must cultivate, Xiao Jiu lost too much blood, his injuries were the most serious, and he couldn't move for the time being, except for the three of them, I was only slightly injured, and I could still fight on the battlefield!"

Zhou Hong is one of Zhang Huo's lieutenant generals, three of Zhang Huo's four lieutenants died, and he was the only one left, he was also the captain of the Divine Guard Army in the past, and his martial arts were only under Zhang Huo, he replied.

"I can still move!"

The pale-faced young man whispered, his name is Jin Jiu.

"Our injuries are fine!"

Xu Tong and Chen Song also spoke one after another.

"Uncle Tong, Uncle Chen, Uncle Nine's injuries are too serious to move, and the injuries on your body are not light, the more you move, the more you move, the more you hurt, so you take Uncle Nine up the hill first, and then wait for us on the hill." The Holy Maiden of the Peace cut the way of the iron.

"Your Highness......"

The three of them looked at each other, a little reluctantly.

"Uncle Tong, Uncle Chen, Uncle Nine, I know you are good to me and want to protect me, but don't be reckless, the people I can rely on are now one less if they die, especially Uncle Jiu, you are too seriously injured, a knife in the chest, an arrow in the abdomen, it is a miracle to survive, don't live up to God's good thoughts, I hope you can all watch me grow up in the future!"

The Holy Maiden of Taiping said faintly: "This is an order, if you still treat me as a holy woman, then don't disobey my order!" ”

She is only fourteen years old, but she has experienced too much life and death, and she is even more dependent on the Taiping Divine Guard, the former Divine Guard who shocked the Taiping Dao, now even if Zhang Huo is added, there are only eleven people left, she really doesn't want to watch someone go to death.

"Yes!"

When Jin Jiu heard this, he was immediately silent, and the other two Divine Guards glanced at each other, sighed silently, and then walked over, helped him to shake his body, and walked outside, meeting these old and weak women and children.

"Uncle Huo, since this young master dares to organize to defend against the enemy, it seems that he has a little confidence, let's go and take a look!"

"No!"

Uncle Huo nodded, took the remaining soldiers of the Divine Guard, protected the Holy Maiden of Taiping, and headed towards a school field outside.
