I saw that the man rushed to An Ning, and he quickly slashed out with the help of the power of the forward pounce, with sharp knife skills and tricky angles, and he looked like he had practiced.

The blade was approaching quickly, and time was pressing, and it was too late for An Ning to draw his sword to meet or retreat to dodge.

Danger was so close that An Ning didn't have time to think about it, he instinctively twisted his footsteps, turned half of his body, and then turned his neck to the right, dodging the blade.

Life and death were instantaneous, but fortunately, An Ning responded in time. The short knife grazed An Ning's neck, and he only saw the flash of the knife, and felt a chill pass, and then he knew that he had escaped the catastrophe.

Although he dodged the first blow, the matter was not over yet, and it was not time for him to rejoice. Without waiting for the man to retract his knife and stab again, An Ning slammed into the man's stomach with his knee raised.

This collision made the man angry, and he had to bow down in pain, and most of his strength was lost at once.

Without giving the man a chance to recover, An Ning took the opportunity to grab the wrist of the man holding the knife hard. Because there was too much time, he didn't plan to snatch the knife from his hand, but directly threw it over the shoulder.

The man was thrown to the ground by An Ning, unable to stand for a moment, and the knife came out of his hand. But he still struggled, trying to reach for the short knife that had fallen to the ground.

Seeing this, An Ning stepped forward and stepped on his hand, then kicked the knife aside.

It wasn't until he regained control of the situation and was completely out of danger that An Ning felt a little scared at this time, and the cold sweat oozing out soaked the clothes on his back.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and secretly sighed that it was really a fluke. If he had been a little slower to react just now, or if he hadn't been an opponent of the Assassin in the fight. Then he was now like the thieves on the ground, a corpse lying there.

With some joy and fear, he asked the assassin in confusion, "As I said, as long as you surrender, you can live." When you have a chance to live, why don't you kill me? ”

The man also knew that his assassination had failed, and now there was no possibility of killing the person in front of him.

He smiled sadly: "The defeat of our army is a foregone conclusion, and the general died at the hands of villains. As a general's own soldier, I was far away at the time of the incident, and I was too late to stop it, and I couldn't avenge the general with a small hand. The act of genius is just to do his duty. Now that nothing has been done, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it! ”

There was a bit of heroism in this person's words, and An Ning also had some respect for such a loyal person.

At this time, An Ning found that this person had been staring in one direction when he was talking to him, and his eyes were undisguised with hatred.

He followed the man's line of sight and saw the lieutenant who had killed the general of the thief army.

The adjutant general is still carrying the head of the thief army general in his hand, and the blood from the wound of the general's head has not yet coagulated, and blood is still dripping from time to time.

The lieutenant obviously heard the hatred in the assassin's words, and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

An Ning nodded to the adjutant general, if it weren't for this person, the war would not have ended so quickly, in a sense, this person was meritorious.

For this kind of villain, it's hard for An Ning to like it. But disdain is disdain, and he will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, what will he do to him.

Seeing An Ning greeting him, the lieutenant quickly smiled flatteringly, and unconsciously bent his waist down a few more points, obviously afraid that An Ning would hand him over to the assassin.

However, for such a general, An Ning is not

valued, his attention quickly turned away from the lieutenant,

He asked people to take the head of the thief general from the lieutenant general and keep it. Then he looked again at the thief who had attempted to assassinate him.

"You're not afraid of death?" An Ning asked.

"I am a personal soldier and have the responsibility of protecting the general, and now that the general is dead, how can we live on it?" The man said.

An Ning nodded and said, "I understand!" ”

Then he asked, "What about them?" Do you know that your actions, whether they succeed or fail, are very likely to cause them to fall into a place of no return? Surrendered troops to rebellion and assassinated court officials. Even if the officers and soldiers kill you all on the spot, no one else can say anything. ”

As soon as An Ning's words came out, it immediately caused a commotion in the surrender army.

"My lord Mingjian, we are innocent, this matter has nothing to do with us!" The crying was endless.

"What to do, what to do! Squat down honestly for me, who dares to move again, really the guy in Lao Tzu's hands is a vegetarian! "The officers and soldiers in charge of the detention kept shouting and scolding, and beat them with weapons to suppress their commotion.

Although all the soldiers did not dare to speak again, the eyes that looked at the assassin were faintly filled with dissatisfaction and hatred.

When the man saw An Ning's simple words, many of his former comrades hated him.

He said to everyone: "I can't live with you, and I will be willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life, and repay your brothers!" ”

Then he looked up at An Ning again: "This matter is done by me alone, I am willing to bear all the blame, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, and please don't implicate me!" ”

"Yes!" An Ning was silent for a moment and said.

Since he promised the thieves to surrender and avoid death, An Ning had no intention of repenting, even if it was the current incident.

Besides, if you really don't believe in your word today, and kill these surrenderers, then who will dare to surrender to them in the future. Doesn't this cut off the opponents' back roads and force the future opponents to fight them to the death?

Although this is a pleasure today, it is definitely not a good thing for Lin Fan and their future battles.

Seeing that An Ning agreed, the man said with some gratitude: "Thank you, my lord, for making it happen!" ”

"Could you please step away?" The man said again.

An Ning removed the foot that had stepped on the man's wrist and took a few steps back.

There was a hint of gratitude in the man's eyes, and he slowly got up, finally keeping himself on his knees.

Then he reached out again and picked up the short knife that had been kicked aside by An Ning.

"My lord, be careful!" Seeing this, several officers and soldiers were about to pounce, and the crossbows of the rest of the people were also aimed at this person again.

An Ning waved his hand to stop everyone, that person couldn't hurt him just now, let alone now.

He looked at the Assassin as if he understood what he was going to do next.

The assassin said slowly: "Your Excellency is magnanimous, and there is no way to repay him but to die!" ”

With that, he stabbed the short knife into his abdomen, and then pulled it hard to the right.

It was a huge wound, and his internal organs, cut by the dagger, flowed with blood. This kind of injury, even if the miracle doctor is reincarnated, there is no possibility of life.

He took one last look at his former comrades

glanced at Xiang Anning and said, "I hope that my death can be used to eliminate the anger of adults!" It starts with me and ends with me! ”

In a short time, his blood was almost dry, but he still refused to close his eyes, kneeling there, staring straight at Anning.

An Ning then said: "Pass the order, this matter ends here, don't be connected, don't kill indiscriminately!" ”

It wasn't until An Ning said these words that the man closed his eyes and fell down.

As a sign of respect, An Ning took off her cloak and gently placed it over the man's body.

The sergeant who had disposed of the corpse of the thief had a mind to calm down, and quietly stepped forward and asked him, "My lord, this person is loyal, do you need to be buried alone to show respect?" ”

An Ning shook his head and sighed: "No need, burying alone is just a grave, and there is no need to let the brothers abolish that matter." Just bury him with his generals and brothers, I think that's exactly what he wanted! ”

"Yes!" The sergeant agreed, and went to arrange the burial of the thief's body.

It is not easy to dig a pit in the mountains, and now the camp is empty, so the time of the officers and soldiers is limited, so they cannot delay here for too long.

So they took advantage of a large stone pit in the mountains and threw into it all the corpses and severed limbs of the thieves they could find. Then the mouth of the pit was sealed with clay and rubble to create the shape of the mound, and a simple tomb was made.

The officers and soldiers hastily buried the corpses of the thieves who died in battle, and cut off a trunk from a tree in the dense forest, cut it into a tombstone, and erected it in front of the grave.

Although it was already autumn, the newly carved tombstones of the trees still looked fresh, and the part of the ground that was exposed was still steaming blue.

An Ning personally wrote such a sentence on this tombstone: In September of the eleventh year of Chongping, Luo Feng and other 1,239 people died here.

It's just a simple sentence, no blame and no depreciation. According to the meaning of tranquility, the success or failure, the merits and merits in this are left for future generations to comment!

Luo Feng is the main general of this thief army, although his head was cut off, the lower half of his body is still buried here, An Ning They have no intention of taking his body, so An Ning still engraved his name.

The matter here did not take too long, and the officers and soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield and escorted more than 2,000 thieves back to the division camp.

After the departure of the officers and soldiers, except for a lonely mound on the Tiger Ridge, only the blood was dripping all over the ground, a mess, and it was shocking.

However, time is the most powerful force in the world, and it may only take a little autumn rain or two to restore the place to its former state under the wash.

Aside from the mound and the bones beneath it, there is nothing to prove that a major battle took place here.

Perhaps in the near future, not many people in the world will remember that thousands of people fought in this small area, and thousands died here.

A damp tombstone stands alone, perhaps until it decays and falls in the wind and rain, and no one in the world will ever see it again.

And even if you see it, what can you do, for the people, this can only be turned into a few sighs before and after dinner.

Or perhaps, in many years, even the mound made of stone will disappear with the passage of time, and time will eventually erase all the traces left behind.
