Chapter Eighty-Three: The Sunset of the Long River

The Qiuzi camp between Luntai City and the offshore sea is very lively.

I don't know when Guizi has been like the custom of the Central Plains, and Chinese New Year's Eve will be lit up, and everyone regards this day as one of the most important festivals of the year.

There is also a festival is the Buddha Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, the Qiuci people who advocate Buddhism worship the Buddha for generations, and the large and small Buddha caves are all over Qiuci.

The people of the Central Plains said that the fifteenth year is the year before the fifteenth, and it is the same in Guizi, and for the people of Guizi, Chinese New Year's Eve to fifteenth is the most sacred time of the year, the Buddha's light shines on the earth, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, from the first to the fifteenth day of the new year, they will go to temples everywhere to worship the gods and Buddhas, praying for a year of good weather and good health.

Jiang Ge, who came into contact with the simple folk customs of Qiuzi for the first time, also gave up the idea of continuing to travel in the peace around him.

Although it is a military camp, there are only 1,000 troops in the military camp, but it has gathered nearly 5,000 herdsmen, and there are countless cattle and sheep.

Jiang Ge and Zhang Jun walked around the camp leisurely, and only then did they really feel the peace and inner peace of the people of Qiuzi.

The herders are warm and welcoming, always with gentle smiles on their faces, and speak politely and gently, giving people a warm feeling in their hearts.

And the thousand Guizi soldiers in the barracks do not have that bloodthirsty atmosphere, let alone fierce and vicious, and they do not have the strong fighting spirit that they should have as a warrior, but more of an indifference and softness.

Jiang Ge was very suspicious of the combat strength of these thousand soldiers, and even more wondered that the Hun rangers might be not far away, but the entire camp did not have the slightest sense of urgency, and was still preparing for the New Year, paying homage to the gods and Buddhas, and the whole atmosphere was peaceful.

Standing on the high watchtower of the camp, Jiang Ge asked Wang Qi in puzzlement: "The north of the Central Plains at this time has long been covered in silver, why is the climate here so pleasant, like spring?" ”

Wang Qi looked at the endless grassland, and said calmly: "The snow mountain is frozen all the year round, and the mountain has never been cold for many years, nor has it snowed, east to Yiwu, north to Chigu City, south to Manliu River, west to Shule City. For thousands of years, the Buddha said that this is the pure land of the Tianshan Mountains, blessed by the gods, and the people who live here are the descendants of the gods, so they will be extra favored. ”

Listening to Wang Qi's ambiguous explanation, Jiang Ge didn't take it seriously, but Jiang Ge believed that this area must be special, and there was a mysterious power in the transcendent world.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Jiang Ge to travel through space and come here from the dream realm of Jingzhou, there must be secrets that he has not yet come into contact with.

Jiang Ge looked at the cattle and sheep on the grass in front of the camp, and was overjoyed, thinking that it must be good to live this kind of grazing life every day, holding Ling'er's hand, surrounded by cattle and sheep, stepping on the green grass, with the blue sky on his head, the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance, the clear river, and the eagle hovering in the sky.

Like the herdsmen grazing in front of them, the men are riding horses, and the women are milking and shearing their wool. Children run, chase, and roll on the grass like the wind. The shepherd dogs dutifully shuttle around the periphery, and the naughty children will ride on the backs of tall dogs, learn the way adults ride on horses, and fantasize about their own stories when they grow up.

Wang Qi has long been accustomed to seeing the scenery here, but he can't see enough, although he is from the Central Plains, but he prefers here, he regards this land as his second home, he hopes that he can let more people live such a life, this is the only thing he wants to do after coming to Qiuzi, and it is worth fighting for all his life.

Zhang Jun felt a little bored, leaned lazily on the pillar and asked, "Why didn't the Huns kill them?" Chasing me so fiercely, how do you feel that the people here are not worried at all? Didn't the big and small tribes in the east give the Huns Huohuo? ”

Wang Qi patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder and said: "Stay here with peace of mind, General Zhang, the Huns dare not invade this land, otherwise they will be punished by God, and the Living Buddha will go to reason with their leader, I think, no one in this world wants to listen to the Living Buddha reason, and he will die." ”

"Living Buddha? So powerful? Can you tell people to die? Zhang Jun asked in surprise.

Wang Qi laughed and didn't explain again, but his face unconsciously showed a look of pious admiration.

Jiang Ge felt the warm sun shining on his body, bright, pure, warm and quiet.

It's just that there seems to be the roar of horses' hooves, which is subtle and feels far away.

Could it be a herdsman herding horses?

Wang Qi and Zhang Jun continued to chat with each other in the bull's head and the horse's mouth, and they were happy.

Jiang Ge opened his ears and felt it carefully.

After a while, Jiang Ge's brows furrowed, and he looked vigilantly at the distant sky, and on the green earth, a black line rolled in.

"Hey, stop talking, Brother Wang, didn't you say that the Huns didn't dare to come? What is that? ”

Jiang Ge hit the two people next to him with his arm a few times and said, "See? ”

Wang Qi, who had a calm face just now, looked carefully with Jiang Ge's gaze, and a long dark line on the grassland in front of him was rushing towards the camp, and there was a faint sound of roaring iron hooves.

"Enemy attack, blow the trumpet, and all the staff return to the camp."

Wang Qi shouted in horror and turned around towards the camp.

Woo~

The low horn sounded, and the herdsmen, who were still grazing outside the camp, heard the horn sound, and quickly directed the sheepdogs to drive the herds of cattle and sheep, and the women helped each other to bring fresh milk and freshly sheared wool back to the camp, everything was in order, and they were not too alarmed.

It seems that he has encountered this situation more than once, Jiang Ge looked at the orderly herdsmen in front of him, and felt a little relieved, worried that Wang Qi was not exaggerating just now, otherwise a thousand soldiers with five or six thousand herdsmen would only have a dead end.

Zhang Jun rolled up his sleeves and stood beside Jiang Ge, looking at the approaching black line, and sighed: "There must be tens of thousands of rangers here." Are we going to have to run for our lives again? ”

Wang Qi's forehead kept sweating, and he said with some embarrassment: "I've been here twice before, and the number of troops is only two or three thousand, why are there so many this time?" ”

Zhang Jun laughed and said: "Don't you retreat when people don't think they are sure before, and now they have gathered troops and are thinking about a pot?" It's over, let's run, it's still too late to run. ”

Jiang Ge knew that Zhang Jun was really joking, but Wang Qi frowned and said, "There is no way to run, five or six thousand herdsmen follow, what should we do if we run away?" It would be nice if the general was here, and I don't know if the general wasn't there. ”

"General? Didn't you get called over last night? Why isn't it there today? Zhang Jun asked casually.

Wang Qi replied: "The general has returned to Luntai, just to make a round and pass by our camp." ”

"What then? I was about to rush over. Didn't you say that the Huns didn't dare to come? Zhang Jun didn't continue to ridicule, but was a little anxious.

Wang Qi just stared at the black line that was getting closer and closer, and he was apprehensive. The 1,000 soldiers in the battalion were also ready for defense, and ordered to stand on the tall wooden wall with their own generals in command, and Wang Qi had no right to interfere in armaments, and could only stand dryly on the lookout and watch the Hun rangers galloping in the distance.

Jiang Ge shook his head, thinking that it was better to rely on others than on himself, and he still had to prepare immediately, Jiang Ge, who had never believed in Buddhism, had always felt that pious believers were worthy of respect, but he did not believe that the Buddha and gods could really manifest to help everyone through the crisis.

It seemed that in less than a stick of incense, the Hun rangers would be close at hand, Jiang Ge waved his hand to Jian Hong, who was guarding under the lookout, signaling the assembled team to get ready.

On the premise that the Huns did not have siege tools, it was also difficult to break through this camp, even if there were only 1,000 guards.

It's just that the herdsmen who are still driving the herds of cattle and sheep have to speed up a little faster, but fortunately, the herdsmen and the herdsmen and the herds of cattle and sheep in the distance have returned to the vicinity of the camp and quickly driven to the back camp, which should not be a big problem.

The Hun rangers gradually approached the camp, Jiang Ge could already see the general situation of the other party, the rumble of the horses' hooves trampling the ground, and the shouts of the rangers, getting closer and closer.

The camp closed the gate, and everyone looked nervously at the rangers rushing in the distance, and the herdsmen had already driven the cattle and sheep into the back camp.

The atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, and the needles could be heard in the camp.

"Please, my baby is still sleeping on the grass outside, let me bring it back, my child... Buddha bless, save my child. ”

Suddenly, a woman rushed from the rear camp to the front camp, knelt on the ground hysterically, begged the guards on the city wall, and kept kowtowing, her face full of tears, trembling and hissing

The hoarse voice was clearly heard in everyone's ears.

The guard general immediately asked the soldiers to help the women up the city wall to point the direction, and the women seemed to grasp the last straw of hope and knelt in front of the generals reverently praying.

I could see the unbearable in the hearts of the defenders and the generals, and they were willing to help rescue the child.

But......

The general of the defending army looked at the fast and rushing rangers, and could only sigh, sorry, as a general, he couldn't save it, not to mention, it was too late.

The woman was still pleading, clinging to the stake, looking through the gap at the approaching iron riders, knowing that no one could save her child.

That's her sun, it's her Amina.

"The most important Amina in my life, may my Buddha have mercy, sacrifice my life to worship the living Buddha, save my child, my Amina ......."

The woman with a dead heart fell to her knees, closed her eyes tightly, folded her hands on her chest, and prayed with the most devout heart to the gods and Buddhas to save her child.

Just when everyone was extremely nervous and looked at the surging Hun rangers, and listened to the women's prayers with pity, they were secretly sad and helpless.

On the grass between the camp and the Hun rangers, a little girl in a new red cotton jacket stood up from the grass, looking left and right alone, some at a loss, some at a loss, some at a loss.

She was just by her mother's side, feeling the warmth of the golden sun, smelling the fresh scent of grass, listening to the bleating of lambs, and sleeping sweetly.

In the dream, she saw her father, the father she hadn't seen for a long time, and the grandmother said that her father went to the hometown of the living Buddha, and in the future, her grandmother would also take Amina's place to meet her father, who loved Amina's most.

The little girl stared blankly at the empty surroundings, thinking of calling out to her grandma, but was frightened by the loud roar.

Where did the rumble come from, is it going to rain?

But there is still a warm sun in the sky.

Slowly turning her thin body, Amina's eyes were full of demons riding at her adults, some with her arms bare, some baring her teeth, and some waving her shiny scimitar in the air.

The shouting that I didn't understand was so noisy.

The tall steed seemed to be in pain.

Was it the thick whips that whipped them?

Damn bad guys.

.......

The moment the little girl dressed in red stood up from the grass, the hearts of countless people in the camp seemed to be tightly pinched by an invisible hand.

The choked woman covered her mouth and looked desperately at the innocent and lovely child through the cracks.

"My Amina ......"

Wang Qi couldn't bear to look at the tragedy that was about to happen in front of him, his heart was desolate, but he was extremely powerless.

Zhang Jun showed half of his body from the lookout platform, and yelled anxiously at the girl: "Run, kid, run towards your uncle, it's too late if you don't run, don't stand stupidly, hey, your grandma is waiting for you to eat." ”

Zhang Jun stretched out his hand while shouting, and wanted to pull Wang Qi and Jiang Ge beside him to shout with him, but only to find that Wang Qi next to him was silently reading something.

Where did Jiang Ge go?

Just when everyone was anxious and powerless.

Bang ~ bang ~ bang

The sound of stomping on the wooden wall rang out.

A gray figure crossed the stake wall, stepped on the wall with both feet, bent his legs slightly, and rushed straight towards the direction of the little girl in red, facing the Hun rangers who covered the sky and the sun.

Immediately after, fifty-one dark red figures, with the same movements, the same posture, the same direction and speed, bounced out, landed on the grass dozens of steps outside the wall, just stabilized their figures, increased their strength, and chased after the gun-wielding figure in front.

Everyone on the silent camp wall watched with disbelief and excitement as the figures quickly climbed over the wall and shot out into the air.

watched a person on the grassland rush towards the girl with a gun, and the night behind him was even more courageous.

The camp wall of the camp is like a lit oil pot, and the light of hope is ignited with a bang.

Wang Qi was dumbfounded, but he was in a passionate mood.

Zhang Jun had such an expression on his face, and then shouted excitedly: "Brother Jiang, come on!" ”

The passionate defenders on the wall let out a majestic "roar" that resounded through the empty grassland.

The Hun cavalry, who had been rushing forward, was very excited when they saw someone coming out of the wall, but when the defenders of the camp roared loudly in the sky, they involuntarily pulled off their horse ropes, and the speed of the gallop slowed down.

Jiang Ge, who was running forward with all his might, noticed the hesitation of the ranger for a moment, and took the opportunity to quickly close the distance with the little girl.

Although the front row of the Hun rangers slowed down, they immediately resumed their speed after a loud shout.

The two sides are racing for speed and time.

It's getting closer.

Getting closer.

Finally.

The ranger at the front was still thirty steps away from the girl in red, and Jiang Ge quickly moved forward and stood firmly in front of the little girl.

Then Jian Hong appeared at Jiang Ge's side.

Fifty red armor stood firmly in the shape of an arrow.

The girl in red stood in the middle of the impermeable dark red armor and looked up at the blue sky.

Ah, Dad, is that you?

.......

At the moment when Jiang Ge stood in front of the girl in red, the entire battalion let out a fierce battle roar, and the sound was endless.

Jiang Ge stood still, leaned forward, and the thunder light in his right hand spread out in the blink of an eye.

The recent Hun You is about to hit it hard in the blink of an eye.

I only heard Jian Hong's deep voice roaring: "Fight! ”

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Three roars in unison.

It is fearless of danger.

It is unstoppable.

It's a battle to the death.

Boom~

Jiang Ge, who didn't have time to react too much, stabbed forward with both guns in his hands, his heart was overflowing with battle intent, and the dragon head on the shoulder of Jinghai Ao Dragon Armor seemed to come to life, as if there was a dragon roaring in the sky, and suddenly a transparent cyan light exploded and quickly fell on the bodies of everyone behind him.

The dark red armor of Jian Hong and the fifty guards lit up with green fluorescence as if they had been blessed by the gods.

"Phew~"

Suddenly, the thunder surged, and the ranger soldier who rushed to the first place and could not avoid it tried his best to hold on to the horse rope, staring at the red eyeballs, and crashed into it in an instant.

One after another, the herds of horses that couldn't stop at all swung around each other and quickly crashed into the thunderbolt that appeared out of thin air.

Puff~呲呲~

Bang~

With the explosion of thunder, everything that touched the thunder instantly turned to ashes, and the thunder and lightning that jumped out exploded with a bang, whether it fell on the body of the person who returned to the horse, and then the stump and broken arm flew away.

After the thunder, a crimson flame flew into the sky from a crystal clear sword body, and then fell to the ground like a meteor, instantly scorching everything, and dying if it touched it.

Fifty pitch-black broadswords, glowing with transparent fluorescent horizontal swords facing outward, all the people and horses crossing the border were broken in half.

The array of fifty-two arrows stood tall like nails firmly rooted in the ground.

The teams of rangers did not have time to rein in their horses, and they disappeared in an instant.

The rear team's unaware rangers brandished scimitars and flapped their horses as they ran to death.

Just when Jiang Ge and the others struggled to stop the rangers from rushing into battle.

Directions on the left.

A pair of young men and women rushed in the direction where Jiang Ge was.

The man's long sword is waved irregularly in front of him, seemingly without a move, but it is like a panic and a big desecration to rush to the sea, when the man is easily freehand left and right, there are a number of small water streams like mountain streams and rivers, shooting around, touching the flesh of the flesh, flying upside down.

The woman behind the man held a golden short bow, a golden bow body, a flame carving, and the white left hand held the Great Sun relief, and the void condensed arrow, like an arrow that burned the whole body, shot out, flew into the air and then burst open, forming a number of small flame arrows to shoot into the ground, and the toucher fell to spark like an oil pot

and burned it all.

The direction to the right of Jiang Ge.

There is a pair of masters and apprentices who seem to be strolling leisurely, but in fact, they are tossing and moving at a fast speed.

The female master holds a two-fingered narrow sword, secretly carved a hundred flower maps, when the sword dances, the phantom formed by various colored petals flies all over the sky, and it is like a sea of flowers in it. When the sword is pierced, the phantom of the petals changes from gently floating to a sharp flying flower, and a hundred flowers bloom, all of which are powder.

The apprentice is lazy, holding a willow leaf thin sword, the sword body is a hundred grass silver lines, the same as its master, when dancing the sword, the long willow is still around, gentle as water, when the sword is stabbed, the grass is like a needle, and the killing does not leave a trace.

The whole battlefield.

View from above.

Arrows hit the head, and thunder raged.

There is also a red flame.

Fifty broadswords cut through everything like flesh.

Left of the battlefield.

There were water marks splashing, rocket salvos.

Right side of the battlefield.

A hundred flowers bloom and a hundred grasses dance.

More than 10,000 rangers rolled in on iron hooves, full of evil spirits.

Less than a stick of incense.

After a rapid charge, more than half of the rangers were lost, and the survivors all lost their armor and scattered in all directions.

In the camp, the shouts shook the sky.

Wang Qi was dumbfounded.

Zhang Jun slapped his chest again and again, and the blood there was hot.

A kind-faced middle-aged man gently picked up the woman who was crying with joy, gently held her hands and patted them, and said in a thick and soft voice: "It's okay, go pick up your Amina, the living Buddha is with you." ”

The woman's tearful eyes looked reverently at the man in front of her, and her anxious heart immediately calmed down, full of hope and warmth. Unconsciously replied, "Thank you, the Living Buddha is with me." ”

The defeated Hun rangers scattered in all directions, and the land returned to peace.

Jiang Ge and Jian Hong sat back to back on the ground, panting for air.

Fifty guards stood with great difficulty, still surrounding the girl in red.

All of them felt their bodies shivering, their muscles aching, tired, fatigued, lethargic.

Jiang Ge looked at the people coming from the left and right, got up in front of him, hugged his fists and bowed, and said sincerely: "Thank you for the help of the four of you, Jiang is unforgettable, please leave your name, he will be useful in the future, although he is instructed." ”

On the one hand, the men and women who had already put their swords into their sheaths were holding hands, and the woman was smiling like a flower, looking at the man next to her affectionately, her eyes were full of love.

The man took away the guards who had used his last bit of strength to maintain the formation, looked at the little girl who was safe and sound, squinted his eyes and said with envy: "Beautiful scenery, give me such a pink and lovely daughter in the future." ”

Meijing looked at the little girl carefully, untied a delicate little bell made of red rope from her hand, and then squatted on the ground and slowly tied it to the girl's wrist. said gently: "My sister gave it to you, do you like it?" ”

The little girl raised her hand and waved the bell on her wrist, which jingled and rang crisp and pleasant. Showing the white teeth that have not yet grown full, he smiled and said: "I like it, my sister is so good-looking, my name is Amina, what is my sister's name?" ”

"Amina, this name is so nice, Amina, you can call me Sister Meijing, call him Uncle Liangchen, hehe~"

Meijing touched Amina's head, took Liangchen's arm and walked slowly in the direction of Luntai, and said in a soft and sweet voice: "Uncle Liangchen, Meijing will give you a son, as charming and handsome as you, two men will love me in the future." Isn't it good! ”

"But I want a daughter, a daughter as beautiful and lovely as you."

"Why don't you want a son?"

"My son will rob you with me."

"Haha, Uncle Liangchen is jealous."

“.......”

"Then it's good for me to give birth to two, a boy and a girl."

"Okay."

"Uncle Liangchen has to work hard, come on!"

“......”

"The boy is called Changhe, and the girl is called Sunset, okay."

"Why use the names of our weapons."

"yes, I'm thinking about it."

“........”

“........”

The two of them walked away holding hands and saying a word, as if nothing had happened just now, and the stumps all over the ground were treated as nothing.

Jiang Ge looked at the backs of the two with envy, although he was left out, he was grateful in his heart, he hoped that one day, he could be as happy and loving as Ling'er as they were.

The master and apprentice who walked by on the other side watched Jiang Ge muttering for a long time, not leaving or speaking.

Jiang Ge clenched his fists again and bowed deeply and thanked: "Thank you two masters for your help, I am grateful, what can I do to help you?" ”

The master and apprentice exchanged heads and muttered again, and finally the female master looked at Jiang Ge and turned her head and walked in the direction of Luntai, and when she turned around, she kicked the handsome young apprentice.

Jiang Ge looked at the young apprentice who wanted to speak and stopped, and the apprentice looked at Jiang Ge embarrassedly for a long time, and finally blushed, and hugged his fists a little helplessly: "Well, well, ah, this general, my lord, ah, big brother, can you, um, ah, my master and I ran out of money, ah, um, I don't know if it's convenient for you?" ”

When Jiang Ge heard this, he looked at the embarrassed and nervous young apprentice and smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't bring it with me just now, you wait, I'll let someone pick it up." ”

After saying the order, the free guards rushed back to the camp.

Seeing that this was not the place to speak, Jiang Ge made a gesture of invitation, signaling the young apprentice to return to the camp with him.

The young apprentice touched his head and didn't know what to do, ran to the side of the female master who had not gone far a few steps away and muttered a few words, and after being kicked by the master again, he nodded to Jiang Ge, and walked towards the camp one after the other.

When they were about to arrive at the camp, the free defenders came out of the camp to greet them, and Amina also bowed deeply to Jiang Ge and everyone under the care of her mother, and then returned to the back camp.

Jiang Ge asked the master and apprentice to enter the camp to rest, but the apprentice just shook his head vigorously at Jiang Ge and blinked his eyes.

After a while, the guard took a heavy bulging cloth bag, Jiang Ge took it and handed it to the young apprentice and said: "A small meaning is not a respect, I hope that the two masters will leave their names, and he will repay today's kindness." ”

The young apprentice took the cloth bag, his hand sank, his newly recovered face quickly turned red again, and he stammered a little: "Ah, isn't it a bit much, big brother, why don't you take half of it back, it's really not that much." That,, that, my name is Ouyang Deng, call me a little stool, that's my master, she herself said that her full name is Wang Yunxia, the hero of the hero, and I like others to call her Wang Daxia. This is a bit heavy, and I will carry it in the future, can I take less? ”

"The little stool is not long-winded, thank you quickly, hurry up. Isn't it stupid? ”

Ouyang Deng scratched his head in embarrassment and sighed, and said to Jiang Ge: "Master called me, thank you General, the green mountains do not change, green.... The green water flows forever, let's see you in the rivers and lakes. ”

Jiang Ge clenched his fists and replied sincerely: "He will see each other in the future, but Wang Daxia is driven, and he will not give up." ”

When Wang Yunxia heard Jiang Ge's words, he arched his hand in embarrassment, and quickly approached his apprentice's side, kicking Ouyang Deng while quickly walking in the direction of Luntai.

"I'll just say that this person is rich, you still don't believe it, so much, you can drink good wine every day. Hahaha, you stupid thing, take less, ah, still Qingshan doesn't change, ah, help him kill people, what's wrong with getting paid. Ah, the hero's big, phew, the hero's hero, can you casually report the name of the teacher? Do you know that reporting my name will scare people to death? ”

"Yes, yes, you are the master, what you said is right. It's so heavy, can you take some too. Didn't you say that you have to say this when you walk the rivers and lakes and when you are separated? ”

"Do you think he is like that, is he a man in the rivers and lakes? It's a firehead, well, a rich firehead. If you are in the rivers and lakes, you will be scared to death if you hear my name. ”

“.......”

"Why are you silent? Don't you believe in the master? When we get to Luntai, let's eat roasted whole sheep, believe it or not? ”

"Master, dear master, just roast the whole sheep and bring two. I believe everything you say. ”

“.......”

“.......”
