Chapter 7: The Bitter Lord (1)

Today's first update, the collection and flowers that the brothers can send in just one second is the best reward for Yun Ming for ten hours a day! )

Shang Yu and his mother, Shang Mei, sat on the ground with tears in their eyes, at this time they were outside Lijia Village, and the fire could not be extinguished. The houses in the village are all made of wood, and it is late autumn, and the weather is dry, and once the houses are burning, there is no way to rescue them, and they cannot be approached.

The man surnamed Tang and the two men named Guorui were still resting in the cave for the time being, they were seriously injured, and it was not suitable to follow them down the mountain at this time.

"Xiao Yu! It's a pity that our house is about to burn down! The villagers are also dead, these days kill the officers and soldiers! How does this make people live? Shang Mei looked at the fire in the village and the dead bodies all over the ground, and couldn't help crying.

"Mother! These officers and soldiers are really too cruel, I want to join the Red Turban Army and kill them together! Shang Yu looked at the corpses of his neighbors he had known since childhood, tears streaming down his face, and his heart was full of hatred and fear for the officers and soldiers.

"Nonsense! What Red Turban Army to join? This is the fate of our people! I'm not allowed to talk about anything like joining the rebels! You are the only son of the business, if something happens to you, how can I explain it to your father? Shang Meishi immediately cried and said after hearing this.

"But, could it be that Aunt Li and these villagers died in vain?" Shang Yu asked his mother in a sad voice, he was very puzzled by his mother's words at this time, should the people's lives be so low in the eyes of officers and soldiers?

"I think that before your father and I came to Lijia Village, we fled from Meiling Town, thousands of miles away in the north, and that town was almost razed to the ground by officers and soldiers, just because the general of the town garrison offended some big man in the imperial court. My mother doesn't know any big truths, she only knows that we are ordinary people, so we can only endure and ask for food and clothing! Do you understand? Shang Mei said still crying.

At this time, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Shang Yu hurriedly pulled his mother to retreat, after listening to his mother's words, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he couldn't think about it, he was just a fourteen-year-old child, how could he control the killing of officers and soldiers, the sphere of influence of the Red Turban Army was nearly two thousand miles away, how could he let his mother leave this place and go thousands of miles away, and his father went to the Western Regions and never returned, how could he leave at this time.

Just as he thought of this, Shang Yu's sensitive sense of hearing took effect, and he only heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the bottom of the mountain again, and the distance of listening to the sound was only a mile away.

"Mother! For some reason, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers turned back again, and we immediately went into the mountains and went with the two sergeants, otherwise those officers and soldiers would not let us go!" Shang Yu immediately grabbed his mother's hand and said urgently.

"Huh? Then we need to get out of here. Shang Mei's face couldn't help but show fear on his face after hearing this, and he immediately nodded and said, and immediately ran with Shang Yu to the outside of the village.

It's just that although Shang Yu is young and runs fast, Shang Mei's three-inch golden lotus runs extremely slowly, which invisibly delays the speed of the two of them. The journey of the Riches was definitely fleeting for a well-trained cavalryman.

However, in a matter of minutes, Shang Yu and Shang Mei were surrounded by a team of ten cavalry, and their faces showed despair.

"Brother Tang! This time, I didn't expect to be rescued by a fourteen-year-old child, this child is really good! Guo Rui endured the severe pain, allowing the man surnamed Tang to wrap the wound on his shoulder for him, the arrow had been pulled out, and both of them were carrying Jin Chuangyao, and this kind of injury was not difficult for them to treat.

"It's just that the villagers of the village under the mountain are tired by us, and the village is on fire, and the villagers must be killed too! Later we will go down the mountain to resettle these villagers! Well, this arrow went into your shoulder blades, but fortunately it didn't hurt your veins, and you will be back to good in 100 days! After completing the last formalities, the man surnamed Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

The location of the two of them is the top of the cliff secret cave, where they can overlook Lijia Village.

"Brother Tang! At present, although our injuries are not light, but we must leave this place, you just said that from the mountains through the road, you can directly reach an abandoned road, so that we can reach the place of the rebels in advance, this pair of mother and son should not forget our kindness, but at this moment we have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in urgent need of the rebels, we must go on the road early. Guorui nodded and said.

"Brother Guorui! If we had gone so quietly, maybe ...... Not good, Brother Guorui! Look, there's another troop of cavalry down the hill! Halfway through speaking, the man surnamed Tang immediately turned his face and pointed down the mountain.

After hearing this, Guo Rui immediately leaned on the edge of the cliff cave, raised his eyes and looked down, and couldn't help but change his face drastically.

"Not good! Brother Tang, we must leave this place immediately! These dogs are obviously coming to search for us again, if we don't leave early, this cave is not a place to hide from people for a long time, and if the two girls give us out, it will not be good! When Guorui said this, he had quickly begun to pack up the clothes that had just been placed on the ground due to the treatment of his injuries, and quickly put them on.

"Brother Guorui! It seems that this mother and son are bound to be implicated by us, and if we leave, we will inevitably bear some notoriety of betraying our benefactor! This is not what our rebels did! There were only ten horsemen at the foot of the mountain, and if we could get their horses, we would kill them all, and we would have saved the lives of the mother and son. The man surnamed Tang said with some embarrassment on his face.

"Brother Tang! If these silver taels are returned to the army, our righteous army will one day be able to pacify the Central Plains and will be able to rescue tens of millions of people in the Central Plains! It is also appropriate to sacrifice for this like this mother and son, and you should know how to choose between righteousness and small benevolence! Guo Rui immediately said in a deep voice with a strange light in his eyes.

"Brother Guorui, you're right! But if I am asked to watch the mother and son who saved my lives being rounded up by officers and soldiers, I really can't bear it! The man surnamed Tang suddenly seemed to be shortened and said, he knew that what Guorui said was very reasonable.

"For the sake of the great cause of the rebels, we must go!" Guorui's face sank, and after he finished speaking, he was dressed up, waved his hand and walked down the cave, and his steps were a little dull.

The man surnamed Tang looked back at the bottom of the mountain again, his face was a little unbearable, but when he turned around, he immediately said, "Brother Guorui, wait for me, I'll come down immediately." ”

Ten cavalrymen escorted Shang Yu's mother and son to the entrance of the village, Shang Mei hugged her son Shang Yu tightly, although her teeth stood up, but for the safety and life of her son, she still tried to keep her composure.

Although Shang Yu was also very frightened in his heart at this time, when he looked at these cavalrymen, he felt a little special, as if it was completely different from the feeling of encountering soldiers in Quanzhou Mansion.

I saw a group of cavalry slowly galloping on the path, led by a man in general costume, about thirty years old, very powerful, but a little strangely followed by a luxurious carriage, the whole team looked a little strange because of this carriage.

The head of the ten households led by the ten-person squad immediately stepped forward, and when he arrived in front of the man in general's costume, he immediately turned over and dismounted and half-knelt on the ground, not knowing what to say.

"Mother! I'm afraid that we will be like Grandpa Nine and Aunt Li, and we will be killed by these officers and soldiers! When Shang Yu said this, his body began to tremble slightly, and the hatred for the officers and soldiers in his heart increased even more.

"No, Yu'er, as long as you have a mother, you will never let these animals hurt you!" Shang Mei hugged his son, although he said so, but he expected it in his heart: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape this time, and I don't know why these god-killing Yuan dogs want to kill Lijia Village?" ”

At this moment, the ten households got on their horses again and galloped over, and shouted loudly: "Lord Qianhu ordered the surviving bitter master of Lijia Village to come forward and answer!" ”
