The short-lived glory fell in an instant, and he died before he could get out of the school, but he was not a hero. The green snake died when he was most proud, but not because of his arrogance, but because all this was just a "story" that Li Cunqiao had already written. Out of Longshou County, this plan cannot be changed, and anyone who dares to stop it will only have a dead end.

I don't know how long it took for Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng to return with Tong Hatzhu and help the dusty monk who fell to the ground. Gu Xing looked at the headless corpse of the green snake, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Looking back, there was already a depression behind him, wisps of black smoke rising, taking away the memories that once belonged here.

Monk Lichen slowly woke up, knowing that time was running out, and with the last trace of strength, he grabbed Chen Fusheng and Gu Xing's hands and pleaded: "Please protect Tong Qizhu, no matter what, don't let her be in danger." ”

Chen Fusheng raised his hand and put his hand on the wrist of Monk Zaichen, shook his head and sighed. Gu Xingyi grabbed Monk Chen's hand, and didn't know what to say for a while, but he couldn't help nodding. Tong Hatzhu stood aside, couldn't cry anymore, hoarse and couldn't stop sobbing, just a few days two people of concern left her, the tragedy in this world does not know when to stop......

Monk Lichen tried to open his eyes wide, looked at Gu Xing and said softly: "Take care of that 'beast bone' so as not to invite unwarranted disasters." Gu Xing listened to the advice of Monk Chen's deathbed, and felt sad for a while, stood up and took a few steps back, fell to the ground with a plop, and kowtowed three times towards Monk Chen.

Monk Lichen trembled, and suddenly stood up and walked towards the city gate. Gu Xing picked up Tong Hate Bamboo, followed behind Monk Chen Fusheng, and slowly walked towards the pile of flesh and blood corpses that emitted a scorched stench and were still gnawed.

The monk walked to the corpse, suddenly sat down cross-legged, and recited the mantra of the past life, and the sound was like a bell, spreading for hundreds of miles. Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng stood silently, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and did not raise their hands to wipe away the tears hanging on their cheeks at some point, until the mantra in their ears floated out of the sky, and recited a Buddha name in unison, "Amitabha".

Until the end of his life, the dust monk did not forget his original heart, and tried his last strength to surpass this group of miserable souls. The Buddha said that he would purify all sentient beings, but he didn't know the sentence "Buddha is destined for people". And the dust monk is beyond life and death, and all living beings are universal, and his heart can be said to be respected by the world.

Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng watched as Monk Chen's head slowly lowered, but they never let go of their hands together, they could only wait, waiting for the death spell that floated to the sky to completely rush into the clouds and dissipate. The two of them buried the dust monk next to the corpse mountain, so that his unswerving faith until his death would live forever here.

At this time, the three of them didn't look back again, and quickly chased in the direction of Longshou County.

…………

The Luoyang crusade army, which was one step ahead, marched all the way, sweeping away the remnants of the rogue along the way. Passing through large and small cities, all open the door to greet them, and the slightest resistance will lead to the slaughter of the city. It wasn't until it was only fifty miles away from Longshou County that the young man at the head pulled the reins and raised his hand to stop, staring at the undulating mountains in front of him, and said with emotion: "It's really easy to defend and difficult to attack!" ”

Behind the young man with ordinary faces, it was the four school captains, at this time, they heard the young man's self-talk, but none of them dared to speak, they were all silent. The young man seemed to have long been used to it, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, "How is General Yu at this time?" ”

This sentence

There was no one to point to, but a short young man walked out quickly, knelt on one knee and clenched his fists and said loudly: "General Qiyu Zhichong, General Yu's army is fighting with Li Siyuan's army in Jianxiong Pass, and it has been more than a month, and so far the winner has not been decided. ”

The young man frowned and raised his hand, motioned for the short young man to retreat, and said to himself: "This Li Siyuan is so powerful? Can't even eat Yu Tianfeng? ”

There was still no response, but at this time, the mountain wind was cold, and there seemed to be a response. The young man wrapped his robe tightly and muttered, "It's winter......"

Winter in the northwest tends to come earlier than in the south. This kind of bone-chilling cold, after Chongyang, began to tell all living beings in this land about the last loneliness of the year. It's just that there is a little less grace in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there is not a leaf in the boat, and there is no Huansha girl whispering and laughing, and I have never seen the moon on the top, and the moon before the flower.

This is a kind of yearning that cannot be begged, just as Wei Yingwu said in his poem, "Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists are only old in Jiangnan." The spring water is blue in the sky, and the boat is painted to listen to the rain. The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists. If you are not old, you must return to your hometown, and you must break your intestines when you return to your hometown. ”

Jiangnan is too beautiful, if it is a juvenile tour, it will be able to achieve a good story. But as the years go by, people's hearts will be bewitched by foreign objects, and they will no longer have the heart to win. You can only play here, but you can't stay for long. Jiangnan is just the hometown that everyone yearns for, but the northwest, and even the distant Mobei with Canada, is the reality.

The bitter north wind howled, scraping his cheeks and hurting. There is desolation under your feet, and the despair that you can't see at a glance will follow you all the time. But those who are people, those who are for the people, those who are ministers, and those who are kings are all like this, everyone needs to walk step by step in order to stand on the top of the mountain and overlook the clouds and sentient beings.

But many people stopped on the way, not lingering on the scenery along the way, but were grabbed by the neck by fate and lost their lives. This is an unavoidable fate that can only be fought for, and it is also the fate engraved in the hearts of this group of people at this moment.

They were ordered to come here, not as they wished. The military order came like a mountain and had to be followed.

The young man's murmur was like a hare lost in the wind and snow, stumbling into the hearts of a group of soldiers. Let their hearts, which were already numb, beat with trepidation again.

The beginning of winter means the beginning of death. When the chill sweeps over the land, there is no longer any life. The spreading despair took away all the people, and there was no shelter within a radius of 100 miles, and Ran Qi was sent to Longshou County to fend for himself.

But this is a "dangerous move" that has to be taken, and at the end of Luoyang to the west, is Mobei. But Longshou County is like a spike, pierced on this main road. Li Cunmiao could never tolerate the danger that could erupt at any time, he just wanted to pull out the spikes quickly, even if it was a painful price.

Jincheng, Zezhou Mansion and Heluo City have become battleground for soldiers. At the moment, this Longshou County seems to be an eyesore but not so important. The cities around Longshou County were constantly devoured by this group of hungry jackals, and those city lords who swayed in the wind were just good hands at seeing the wind and steering the rudder.

The young man on the horse did not set off, but asked in a cold voice, "Where is the nearest city to here?" ”

It was still the short young man who spoke up, "General Qi Yu Zhichong, more than 100 miles north of this place is Hezhong Mansion, and there is a grain supply here, so you can go here." ”

"Why did I hear that the defenders of Hezhong Mansion have defected to Longshou County, wouldn't I be sent to the door to be beaten when I wait to go?" The young man asked with a grin.

But no one thought he was laughing, only that the coldness in his words was spreading at this moment, clamping the short young man's neck and making him unable to breathe. Among the four captains, one of them opened his mouth to relieve the siege, "The general doesn't know, this person is only in peace with Longshou County on the surface, but in fact, he still belongs to the Later Tang Dynasty, and he has no two hearts." ”

The short young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, you must know that the young man in front of him is decisive, and if he doesn't agree with him, he will take off other people's heads, if he doesn't relieve him, I'm afraid he will be in a different place in a moment.

The young man with an ordinary face slowly turned his head, stared at the captain who had relieved the siege and asked, "How did you know?" ”

The captain was neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a deep voice with his fists clenched: "The captain of Hezhong Mansion is his own brother, so he can naturally guarantee this matter." ”

"Oh? And who's your name? Who is the governor of Hezhong Province? The young man seemed to be suddenly interested, and asked unhurriedly.

"The last general Fu Xi, my brother Fu Ye, I don't know if the general has heard of it?" The general named Fu Xi was still neither humble nor arrogant, but it made the young man in front of him look a little higher.

The young man nodded solemnly, "You must not know my name, you have always just said that you will obey me, and you are not convinced when you think about it." Then take this opportunity to be open and honest so that you can be convinced. ”

The young man with an ordinary face looked around at everyone and said word by word: "Ben General Zhou Dewei, Zi Zhenyuan, Shuozhou Mayi, pay a visit to you." ”

When the soldiers behind him heard this, they were all in awe. Even Na Fu Xi turned over and dismounted, and the three captains who dismounted together bowed and saluted, "General, like thunder, please forgive me for my abrupt crimes." ”

"Don't blame those who don't know, I intended to lurk in the army and be silent. Unexpectedly, that guy was in a hurry for quick success, and he actually left the business behind, so he stabbed this person, presumably the brothers present would not blame me......" Zhou Dewei narrowed his eyes again, but this time a fierce light flashed in this person's eyes, if someone dared to be different, he would definitely not be able to escape his means.

All the soldiers were convinced, and no one dared to speak out. Only then did Zhou Dewei turn over and get on his horse, raise his hand and wave, "Heading towards Hezhong Mansion." ”

This group of soldiers who had been with them for many days but did not know who the commander was, finally solved the doubts in their hearts. The young man with an ordinary face in front of him was actually a brave and warlike general in the Later Tang Dynasty, who had captured Shan Tinggui and Chen Yasha alive with his own hands, and wanted to lead the troops to Longshou County this time, but he was determined to win with one blow.

Just by going through Hezhong Mansion, you must be fully prepared. Fu Xi suddenly began to worry, if his brother had rebelled, wouldn't his "offer a strategy" harm the people of a city. At that time, he was determined that it was to save the short young man, who had been in the army for many years and was also a familiar hand, so it was a pity that he died.

But a few months ago, my brother had written to him, and he made a strong statement, and did not mention the rebellion. He only learned from the mouths of others that he could only gamble this time. If the brother really rebelled, he would be persuaded again, and there would be no need to make a big deal when he thought about it.

While thinking about it, Zhou Dewei looked back, "Fu Xi, you will call the city tomorrow, don't let me be disappointed......
