Chapter 397: Generosity
Fang Lao Wu was shocked, he had never seen Xu Mingzhu have such a fierce expression on his face.
A weak and helpless woman, with the dazzling halo of the lady of the Decree, the husband she married is a high-ranking official, gentle as jade, and the holy family is extraordinary, he and her one should invite the cup to the moon, and the other should be a bird, and their life should be happy and smooth.
However, now that he is defending the territory for the country in a distant lonely city, she is forced to kill her husband thousands of miles away.
Hearing Xu Mingzhu say this murderous sentence, all the soldiers were startled, and hurriedly turned their heads to look at Fang Lao Wu.
In addition to Xu Mingzhu, Fang Lao Wu was the fire chief in this hundred-person team, although he was the lowest military attachΓ©, he was the only chief officer, and the other fire chief had died in the sandstorm.
Fang Lao Wu was frightened by Xu Mingzhu's appearance: "What is 'dangerous chess'?" Madam...... What is the intention? β
Xu Mingzhu looked at the General's Mansion, her weak and pretty face was faintly dark, and she said coldly: "I'm going to wait here for General Tian to come out......"
"And then?" Fang Lao Wu's forehead was sweating slightly.
Xu Mingzhu was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Take General Tian hostage and force him to send troops to Xizhou!" β
The soldiers were shocked, and Fang Lao Wu suddenly felt that the cold sweat on his back was getting more and more.
This one...... Is it too much to play? How can such a weak woman be forced by the situation to the point of desperation to make such a crazy decision?
"Madame...... Never! Holding the guards hostage is a big crime to kill the head! Fang Lao Wu hurriedly persuaded.
Xu Mingzhu smiled miserably: "My husband's life is hanging by a thread, if I don't do it, will my husband be lucky?" Both left and right are dead, is there a difference between dying on the head of Xizhou City and dying in the Dharma field? β
"General Tian is a lieutenant general, and he is like a cloud of guards in and out, and he can't even get close. How to hijack? Besides, even if he is held hostage, he will never send troops because of coercion, this move is not beneficial, please think twice! β
The soldiers nodded hurriedly, and everyone's faces were ugly.
Just nine deaths and a lifetime across the desert. I thought that Jitai was coming, but who knew that this lady of the decree had made such a crazy decision, which was obviously a violation of the law of the country, where would they be willing to do it? Although everyone shares weal and woe in the desert, and they are very familiar with this Lady of the Command, what is the nature of holding the Zhonglang general hostage and forcing him to send troops? It's almost like a rebellion.
Everyone is familiar with each other, and they follow Xu Mingzhu to do this big thing that is like a rebellion, but they are unwilling from the bottom of their hearts.
Xu Mingzhu seems to know what everyone thinks. Facing everyone, he bowed slightly, and said with a faint smile: "This matter is too big, I don't dare to drag down all the soldiers, go all the way, you shelter me from the wind and dust, and take care of it, Xu Shi is here Thank you all the soldiers, I will do this alone." After resting in the Yumen Pass, go back to Chang'an to resume your life. β
After speaking, Xu Mingzhu turned around and left. Leave everyone with a lonely back.
Fang Lao Wu and the soldiers stood in place, no one squeaked for a long time, and some of them had silently lowered their heads, revealing a look of shame.
Fang Lao Wu's face was blue and white, and he was uncertain, obviously still hesitating and struggling in his heart. Looking up at Xu Mingzhu's back again, Fang Lao Wu couldn't help but feel a heartache.
Fang Lao Wu lowered his head, and his ordinary and even somewhat ugly face was gradually covered with an indomitable determination. Got along with Xu Mingzhu along the way, Xu Mingzhu's weakness. Kindness and simplicity have made his heart full of love, this kind of love has no reason, Fang Lao Wu is almost fifty years old this year, the rest of his life is not too much, he has experienced half a life of killing, he has long ignored death, he has been in the military camp for half his life, and he gradually no longer thinks about starting a family.
However, for Xu Mingzhu, he couldn't help but have an urge to protect her, this impulse was very strong, Xu Mingzhu's back had gone farther and farther, his body was still weak, but his steps were extremely firm, Fang Lao Wu's heart ached, he seemed to see his daughter walking towards the cliff step by step.
After a long time, Fang Lao Wu gritted his teeth fiercely, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly.
"You go back to Chang'an quickly, I'll take care of Mrs. Bao!" Fang Lao Wu finally made a decision.
After speaking, Fang Lao Wu waved his hand at the soldiers, and then pulled his legs and chased after Xu Mingzhu, and as soon as he took a step, he was pulled by the sleeve of the robe.
"Fang Huochang, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? A young sergeant glared at him.
Fang Lao Wu smiled, and that smile floated on his ugly face, and there was an indescribable chic.
"I'm fifty years old this year, and this time I planned to go back to Chang'an for retirement, and the military merits I have earned over the years are about the same as those of thirty acres of land, and maybe the government will give me a buffalo...... If I hadn't met my wife, I would have been like this for the rest of my life, but who told me to meet my wife? A weak woman, doing this murderous business, where can she do it? She has the courage and doesn't have that skill, she needs a veteran like me with murder skills......"
"Half a life of fighting, half a life of murder, the life and death of others, and the life and death of oneself, have long been taken seriously, but Mrs. is still young, Li Beijia is also young, and their days are long...... What's more, before leaving Xizhou, Captain Jiang told me that I must protect my wife, I have received countless military orders in my life, and every military order has been completed properly, this is the last military order in this life, I can't smash my own signboard......"
The hand that tugged at his sleeve was still very strong, and countless complicated eyes stared at him.
"Fang Huochang, this matter ...... It's like a rebellion! β
Fang Lao Wu lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I have a stupid brain and a stupid mouth, so I have been working hard for half my life, and I have only been a fire chief at the age of fifty, and I don't understand if I rebel, I only know the military order given to me by Captain Jiang, I must complete it, and if my wife is missing a hair, it is not completed." β
After speaking, Fang Lao Wu made a slight effort, broke free from the hand that was holding him, turned around and strode towards Xu Mingzhu.
The soldiers stared at him blankly, and no one spoke.
The wind rose, and the wind swept up the yellow sand, blowing the flags on both sides of the simple streets in the pass, and the whistling sound, the soldiers could not stop crying, because the wind and sand were blind.
In the bitter wind, a wild and heroic slang song floated in the distance.
"The locust on the tip of the mountain is high, and the aunt in the nest is ......pretty."
*****************************************************************
Western State.
Li Su led the troops into the city again, and like the last time he killed Guan Liwei, this time the thousand-man cavalry battalion entered the city with a murderous atmosphere, swords and guns, and the city was slaughtered.
The moment you enter the city gates. The people who were still immersed in the victory of defending the city looked at the posture of the cavalry battalion soldiers, and they were stunned, and stood in front of the city gate for a long time, I don't know who made an exclamation, and then the people of the city rushed to the wolf, panicked and retreated.
It's all too familiar. The people of the whole city have experienced that time when the cavalry battalion opened a killing ring, although it was thirteen criminal officers who were killed, but Li Beijia's fierce expression when standing on the high platform, the unhesitating technique of the cavalry soldiers swinging their swords, and the blood that spurted out from their necks like a spring, scattered on the ground and died......
The former thunderbolt method left too deep an impression on the people, and it cannot be erased in a lifetime, and now at this moment. Seeing the murderous cavalry entering the city, the people knew that Li Beijia was afraid that he was going to kill again, how could the people not panic and retreat?
Anyway, that ten-year-old gentle young man has such a heavy murderous intent, but I don't know who Li Beijia is going to kill this time when the cavalry camp puts on such a battle?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Riding the camp into the city, the road is smooth. The street was soon empty, except for two stray dogs barking at the ranks of soldiers.
Li Su rode a camel. Walking slowly at the front of the line, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and sigh when I saw the shops on both sides of the street, the houses closed, and everyone panicked and avoided.
It's like a thousand paths, am I that terrifying?
After entering the city. The destination of the cavalry camp was clear, and they walked straight towards the Assassin's Mansion.
The Thorn Mansion is located in the middle of Xizhou City, and the roads around the mansion are like a network, extending in all directions, and the geographical location is excellent.
Enter through the North City Gate. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion were about to arrive at the Assassin's Mansion in less than a stick of incense, and the solemn expressions on the faces of the soldiers became more and more profound, and the swords were held tighter.
When the battalion ordered the troops, Li Beijia had already explained that he was here to kill people.
There are still less than fifty zhang away from the Thorn Mansion, and the towering wall and lintel of the Thorn Mansion are already far away, and then a drum is heard, and countless sergeants suddenly rush out of the alley in the south of the Thorn Mansion, all of whom are holding swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and pointing to the cavalry camp.
There was a brief commotion in the cavalry camp, but when Jiang Quan snorted coldly, the commotion stopped, and the soldiers looked calm and motionless like a mountain.
Li Su squinted his eyes and looked at the soldiers and horses that suddenly came out on the opposite side, and then smiled.
Well, Xizhou Zhichong Mansion, the first person is Xiang Tian, the commander of Zhichong Mansion Guoyi, who has not been seen for many days.
At this moment, Xiang Tian was draped all over, wearing a winged helmet, and the long sword in his hand was shining in the sun, obviously prepared.
Li Su couldn't see anger on his face, he just stared at Xiang Tian with interest, and said with a smile: "General Xiang blocked Li's way, what is his intention?" β
Xiang Tian's face was pale, and his expression was full of depression, including the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion, although he put on a solemn appearance, he couldn't see the murderous aura that an army should have, as if a group of civilians with weapons were standing opposite with weapons at a loss.
"Li Beijia led troops into the city last time and killed thirteen criminal officers in a row, the last general dared to ask, who does Li Beijia want to kill this time?"
Li Su smiled brightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, but he was cold and indifferent.
"That's a good question, I didn't lead the troops into the city to give Cao Assassin Shi Baishou, you don't care who I want to kill, but I still want to tell you...... Whoever stops me, I will kill him!" β
Looking at Li Su's face calmly brewing murderous intentions, Xiang Tian's heart sank, and he couldn't help but press the hilt of the sword on his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Li Beijia has done evil again and again, treating the officials and people of Xizhou City as dogs, and letting Eryu kill them, don't you think it's too much?" β
Li Su's smile gradually retracted, his expression changed to a killing intent, and he stared at Xiang Tian and said, "General Xiang, are you teaching me a lesson?" β
