Chapter 132: Whereabouts unknown
Lu Yiqing sighed, thinking in his heart what he should say to comfort her, but found that Chu Qingruo, who was originally pulling his sleeve, had already sat up straight and raised his head, looking at him with two red rabbit-like eyes.
It turned out that what was said in the painting book was true, a person was so sad that the tears had not had time to flow into his eyes, and they had already evaporated in his heart.
Chu Qingruo wanted to give a strong smile to Lu Yiqing, who was looking at him worriedly, but he only let the corners of his mouth pull at the far-fetched end of his mouth with all his strength.
Lu Yiqing couldn't stand it anymore, and grabbed her shoulder hard: "Qingruo, cry out, cry out!" Qingruo, you'll go crazy if you do this again! ”
Chu Qingruo muttered like a dream: "Tell me, how did he fall off the cliff?" ”
Lu Yiqing couldn't bear it: "Qingruo, maybe he fell into an unknown cave like you did last time in Chenzhou, and he didn't die." Qingruo, cheer up! ”
Maybe it was Lu Yiqing's words that moved Chu Qingruo, or maybe her naturally strong and optimistic temperament made her gradually return to a little brilliance after hearing the words that Fu Lingyun might not be dead: "Yes, his body hasn't been found yet, maybe he's still alive!" No! He wouldn't leave her alone, he must still be alive. As she spoke, she was so excited that she lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed.
Seeing this, Mother Zhou, who pushed the door in with a bowl of freshly boiled medicine, hurriedly put down the bowl and pressed her back to the bed with Lu Yiqing: "Miss, what are you going to do!" ”
Lu Yiqing was also taken aback and pressed her: "Qingruo, what are you going to do!" ”
Chu Qing struggled weakly: "Let go of me, I'm going to find Wen Yuan, you let go of me, he's not dead yet, I'm going to find him." ”
Just when Zhou's mother and Lu Yiqing couldn't help her, Old Man Fu, who had a sad face, walked in from outside the door.
"Qingruo, girl!" Old Man Fu's painful voice sounded in her ears, Chu Qingruo raised her head and looked at Old Man Fu in a daze as if she had been frozen for a moment: "Daddy......"
Old Man Fu looked at her with tears in his eyes: "Qingruo, don't be like this, listen to your father's words and have a good rest." You are like this, how can Wenyuan feel at ease? ”
When Chu Qingruo heard this, he seemed to be begging and said, "Dad, I'm going to find Wen Yuan, he didn't die, he must not die!" ”
Old Man Fu looked up to the sky in pain and closed his eyes, and after enduring the tears that were about to drop, he turned his face and endured his grief: "Wen Yuan, he is a soldier, he died on the battlefield, he ...... Die well deserved! We are so proud of him! Qingruo, don't worry, your father and mother both know that you are a good child who values affection and righteousness, even if Wen Yuan ...... He...... ...... gone, we will still treat you as a daughter to hurt, now you listen to your father's words, so you can live and recuperate, don't be sad anymore. ”
Chu Qingruo's eyes were glazed, didn't even his father-in-law believe that he was still alive?
Old Man Fu saw that his words had no effect on Chu Qingruo, and his heart was even more sad: "Why, Qingruo, don't you even listen to your father's words?" ”
Chu Qingruo couldn't bear to brush off the old man's kindness when he heard this, so he had to nod with difficulty. Under the service of Zhou's mother, he lay down. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Chu Qingruo on the bed ask leisurely: "Brother Changyun, can you tell me how Wen Yuan fell off the cliff?" ”
Lu Yiqing nodded a little choked, and when Mother Zhou saw this, she immediately brought a chair for Old Man Fu and asked him to sit down. Lu Yiqing's eyes were fixed on the curling white smoke slowly rising from the teacup, and his slow voice was deep and low.
On that day, Fu Lingyun took all the troops of the Antang battalion to Hulu Mountain, and after encircling and suppressing Huang Shichang's team, he found that the terrain of Hulu Mountain was a natural fortress that hoarded nearly four or five hundred thousand troops and was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the roads inside extend in all directions, like a large city, and there are as many as seven or eight known exits alone.
With the little strength he has now, there is no way to attack them, the only way is to attack these exits with fire, besiege them, and when their food and grass are exhausted, they will starve them fiercely for ten days and half a month, and then Huang Shichang's army will be self-defeating.
It's a pity that people are not as good as the sky, the mountainous climate of Hulu Mountain makes it rain in this mountain every day, and the fire that Fu Lingyun and they worked so hard to light was extinguished by the heavy rain in an instant. In desperation, Fu Lingyun and the others could only use the most stupid way to wait for the rabbit, and it took a lot of time.
Finally, Huang Shichang didn't know if the grain and grass were running out, or he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally one day he took advantage of the night to lead a team of lightly armed teams to break out of a secret passage that was not noticed by Fu Lingyun!
When Lian Feng found out and quickly chased after him, the cunning and shameless Huang Shichang actually changed into civilian clothes, mixed with the villagers in the village at the foot of the mountain, and escaped from under Lian Feng's nose!
Due to the escape of the main general, Fu Lingyun had to take a team of people and sneak into Huang Shichang's military tent from the cave where they escaped by soft ladder last time, searching for his troop transfer tiger talisman. It's a pity that Huang Shichang, the old fox, was prepared and took the tiger talisman with him, so that Fu Lingyun pounced.
Just when everyone was feeling annoyed by Huang Shichang's escape, Ye Yan suddenly let out a creepy laugh like a nerve.
The startled crowd threw dozens of pairs of stinky shoes at him with grinding their back molars, and the unobtrusive Ye Yan took out something from his arms triumphantly while dodging and showing off to everyone.
Everyone looked at it, and what he was holding in his hand was Huang Shichang's tiger talisman! Everyone was pleasantly surprised and asked, only to know that Ye Yan had stolen the dragon and turned the phoenix a long time ago to replace Huang Shichang's real tiger talisman with a fake tiger talisman. It's just that it has been put on his body and has been useless, and he has gradually forgotten about it. Speaking of it today, I remembered that the tiger talisman that Huang Shichang took away was originally a fake.
After experiencing this unwarranted joy and sorrow, everyone deeply realized why Fu Lingyun always had a love-hate expression when he saw Ye Yan.
After having Huang Shichang's tiger talisman, everyone didn't talk much, and immediately took over Huang Shichang's team with the tiger talisman. After some rectification, Fu Lingyun and Zhang Hu decided to divide their troops into two ways.
Zhang Hu returned to the Savage Valley with 350,000 horses to guard to prevent the Mexican army from taking advantage of the chaos to send troops, and the other 150,000 horses immediately rushed to Qinghun County with Fu Lingyun to encircle and suppress the main force of the Jinyang army.
The whole Jinyang County has been occupied by the soldiers and horses of the old thieves, many people have fled, the market is empty, the town is depressed, the people are deserted, and there is a tense atmosphere of slaughter everywhere.
Fu Lingyun led the team to station seventy miles outside Jinyang County, and sent people to inquire about the news in Jinyang County for several days, but he found out that due to Huang Shichang's escape, when they arrived in Jinyang County, the old thief had already gotten the news, and had already preemptively proclaimed himself emperor on the grounds of "putting things in order and purging the royal family"!
The situation was urgent, Fu Lingyun immediately made a decision, and immediately attacked with all his strength, in order to capture the old thief in the shortest possible time.
So, the battle finally started in the early morning before the mist dissipated, and Fu Lingyun launched a strong attack with a disadvantage of 150,000 to 300,000 Wangfu troops, unexpectedly disrupting the rhythm of the Wangfu army, making a huge gap in the defense of the Wangfu army, which was like an iron bucket.
This is a vicious battle, Fu Lingyun and his men are invincible in the heartland of Jinyang County, and they are simply unstoppable. After Lu Jingshuo, the king of Jinyang, learned that Fu Lingyun had brought only 150,000 people to attack Jinyang County, he was furious, and immediately sent another 100,000 horses, led by Huang Shichang into the siege, ordering them to kill Fu Lingyun no matter what, and take back the tiger talisman he stole!
Huang Shichang's 100,000 horses joined, which made the army led by Fu Lingyun, who had already begun to be a little exhausted, even worse. Fortunately, Xu Yong arrived in time with the Yanhu Army and reversed the situation.
When Huang Shichang saw that he was gradually defeated, he shamelessly changed clothes with his lieutenant general, followed him all the way, fought his way out of the encirclement, and desperately fled in the direction of the Savage Valley, trying to escape through the Savage Valley to Mexico.
At the same time, the 300,000 troops of Mexico were also pressing the border of the Savage Valley, and Zhang Hu also had several hand-to-hand encounters with them, and after repelling wave after wave of attacks, Zhang Hu's men and horses were half exhausted, and they were about to be unable to support it.
Fu Lingyun led a team of light horsemen to chase Huang Shichang, all the way to the Savage Valley, and found that Zhang Hu's team was seriously attritional, and when the army of the Mexican army was increasing, he decisively gave up the pursuit of Huang Shichang, and stayed in the Savage Valley to command the remnants of the team to fight to the death with the Mexican army in the jungle.
Finally, one day, Fu Lingyun led a team of men and horses to be besieged on the cliff by the Mexican army with several times the strength of the cliff. After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the exhausted Fu Lingyun was finally shot in the back vest by a Mexican soldier who was hiding in the grass and setting off cold arrows, and he stumbled and fell off the cliff.
After listening to Lu Yiqing's irrepressible pain and the whole process of Fu Lingyun falling off the cliff, Chu Qingruo and Old Man Fu were silent. Lu Yiqing couldn't hide the grief in his heart, kept silent, and sat there with them without saying a word, motionless.
It was as long as a lifetime had passed, no one in the room spoke, the huge room was as silent as death, and only the heavy breathing of a few people remained in the room.
"Let's go, I want to rest." Chu Qing's astringent voice broke the suffocating silence in the room.
Lu Yiqing and Old Man Fu also stood up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and Lu Yiqing said softly: "Okay, okay, you can rest early." He helped the old man Fu, who didn't get up from the chair several times, and slowly walked out of Chu Qingruo's room.
Mother Zhou couldn't bear it when she saw the old man's face, which seemed to be much older in an instant, and stretched out her hand to help him, but he raised his hand and waved to stop him: "I'm fine, you take good care of the young lady." ”
Nodding with tears in his eyes, he saw Old Man Fu, who staggered away with Lu Yiqing's support, pulled up his sleeves and gently touched the corners of his eyes, and returned to the room.
Looking at Chu Qingruo, who was lying on the bed with her eyes wide open but motionless and lifeless, Mother Zhou couldn't help but feel sad.
Poor young lady, I thought that she married such a good man as an uncle, and she could spend the rest of her life happily, but who would have thought that this aunt who spoiled her like eyeballs would have such a short life, and she would go to the battlefield within a few days of getting married, and this time she was separated from the young lady's yin and yang.
Chu Qingruo looked at the happy tent that Cheng Yujiao and Lu Jia hung up for her on the top of the bed stupidly, and there was only one thought in her heart: Wen Yuan is not dead, her little brother will not die so easily, she wants to find him, she will definitely get him back!
