Chapter 97: Heavy losses
"Withdraw, quickly withdraw, you group of useless things, a hundred and ten people can't kill dozens of people, waste, waste!" Mr. Zhuge roared angrily, he didn't expect Cai Cong's men to be so strong, less than thirty people, and one hundred and ten of his men were defeated.
"Entangle them for me, and don't let them run away." Cai Cong shouted with red eyes, he had died so many siblings, this was the biggest blow he received after crossing over, how to call him not crazy.
At this moment, he was chilled, and subconsciously rolled on a donkey, and an arrow with a barb puffed and nailed to the stone.
The person who protected Cai Cong saw this scene and shouted: "Protect the uncle, protect the uncle, there is a marksman, protect the uncle." ”
Cai Cong looked up, a tall figure on the high cliff, standing proudly on the edge of the cliff with a bow and looking at Cai Cong coldly. Gan Xinda and the others didn't dare to entangle with Zhuge and the others, and hurriedly ran towards Cai Cong.
The white wolf shot an arrow, Cai Cong hurriedly dodged, but he didn't expect the white wolf to shoot two arrows in a row at this time, blocking all Cai Cong's paths.
I'm done with that? Cai Cong looked at the arrow feathers that were galloping, and now this thought came to his mind coldly.
Poof, poof.
The arrow went into the flesh with two muffled sounds, and Cai Cong looked at Gan Xinda, who was blocking himself tightly in front of him, and tears fell all of a sudden.
"Why do you do this?" Cai Cong said tremblingly, Gan Xinda was vomiting blood, but he smiled happily and brightly.
"Uncle, uncle, I can't live, I want to say, what I said is, the little one is not sorry for you. I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I love you, I wear you, salt is really, so important, with salt, your neck will not be swollen! Gan Xinda's last sentence roared out with all the strength of his body, and two lines of tears washed away the blood at the corners of his mouth.
"I promise you, I will let everyone in Datang eat salt, cheer up, cheer up!" Cai Cong cried, Mr. Zhuge and the others had retreated, and the others also came.
Looking at Gan Xinda, who was not staring at him, Cai Cong slowly stood up and said calmly: "Clean up the battlefield and take the brothers home." I, Cai Cong, swear, that this revenge will not be avenged. ”
Beneath the calm lies an untold wrath that will burn all enemies to ashes.
Many corpses were smashed, but Cai Cong could call out the name of each corpse, Cai Cong's subordinates died one hundred and thirty-seven people, and Du Yunlong's subordinates almost seventy died.
When the official road was halfway through, he met Fang Yuan, who rushed to the rescue, and when he was attacked, someone rushed to the post station on horseback desperately.
Fang Yuan's eyes turned red when he saw the dense corpses, and tears were swirling.
"Who is it? Who is it? ”
Cai Cong handed over an arrow feather with barbs, and said tiredly: "Go back first and prepare the coffin." And then the rest."
"Li Youliang's remnants?" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, he didn't expect these people to follow and ambush Cai Cong.
With a heavy heart, put the body in the coffin, add lime, and finally cover the coffin lid, but dare not add nails, no matter how horrible the death is, always let their relatives see the last time.
"Follow me!"
Cai Cong glanced at the coffin, and Fang Yuan commanded.
"Uncle. We want revenge! Since our establishment, when have we ever been bullied like this? So many brothers are gone! Fang Yuan clenched his fists, extremely sad and indignant.
"This revenge must be avenged, tell Polai to activate all our relations. This group must be dug up at all costs, and I will sacrifice their heads to the brethren.
Tell those princes that whoever finds this group will personally train them a team of five hundred men, and kill them as if they were walking on the ground. Cai Cong said murderously, he had never thought of whipping corpses before, and this time he really wanted to find out this group of people and crush the bones and ashes.
"I'll go!" Fang Yuan said anxiously, this time he also had a lot of responsibility, if he could find out the movements of this group of people as soon as possible, it would not be like this.
"Wait, call a few heralds, Xinda is dead, and this matter must be reported to His Majesty immediately."
Fang Yuan answered and walked out. Cai Cong picked up the pen and brewed for a while, and quickly wrote on the paper. He didn't hide a trace, from the cooperation with Gongyi County to the emergence of the salt control method, Gan Xinda used his identity as a secret agent to prevent him from leaking the secret recipe, to the attack of Li Youliang's remnants, Gan Xinda used his body to block the arrows of the marksman for him, and wrote them one by one.
After changing a piece of paper, he wrote down the secret recipe for salt treatment in detail on it, and when the ink on the paper was dry, he sealed it with lacquer and stamped it with a sigil.
After thinking about it, he wrote a letter to his mother, saying that he was safe and sound, and said that Gan Xinda died in order to save himself, and asked her to send 5,000 guan to see if the Gan family needed help.
When he finished writing, he shouted outside the door, "Come in!"
"Little, meet Uncle."
Four people came in from outside the door and said in unison, all of them were short and short, and Cai Cong instantly felt a little sour.
When I met Gan Xinda for the first time, he was dressed like this, a slender man, casually saying that it was no problem to stand until dawn, and finally stood for an hour longer than others, and he didn't dare to move, so he was carried down.
"Eight hundred miles of urgency, the horse is dead and the man is gone, and it is necessary to send this piece to His Majesty in the fastest time. This letter must be delivered to my mother by her own hands, so go! ”
"Honor!"
With feathers on his head and a blood-red cloak, he disappeared on the road with the neighing of one man and three horses.
Du Yunlong only saw Cai Cong at this time, and as soon as he met, he confessed: "The lower officials have no way to govern the wilderness, and there is such a horrific thing under their jurisdiction, and they ask the uncle to punish them."
"There is no need to blame yourself, this time you have suffered from the pond fish, this official will send people and people from the ministry to make it clear, this time you have no merit, and the victims should be compensated more?"
"The lower officials know that they will not be stingy with money and silver."
"That's good, if this happens, the official won't stay, you can contact the person in charge of the caravan for the rest of the matter, and I will leave for Chang'an today, these brothers need to be buried in peace."
Cai Cong said a little sadly, he is very ruthless, but he is also very emotional, how should he face those relatives when he returns to Chang'an?
"Then the official ordered the squire to come and send him off......"
"No need, red tape is saved, and we will leave from time to time." Cai Cong waved his hand to let him go down.
Seeing Du Yunlong go down, Xia Yuncai said with a look of resentment: "How could Lang Jun treat him so politely, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have gone to any mountain city, how could such an unfortunate thing happen."
"There are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? These thugs have been planning for a long time, even if there is no this time, there will be a next time, no wonder Du County order. Let's go! It's time to go back, too. ”
Cai Cong looked at the long line of coffins behind the carriage, sighed, and stepped on the horse to board the carriage. The long line was solemn, and the originally fresh comrades-in-arms were lying in the coffins coldly.
This is an experience for this group of new troops who have not been hit too hard, giving them a new understanding of life, and they will maintain the reverence they deserve for life and death before they become numb.
