Chapter 408: Leave a line in life
Yang Xuangan had already made a decision to attack Hongnong City, and the argument between Li Mi and Wei Fusi made him upset, and it was difficult to judge which one was more advantageous for a while, because it made sense, he was disgusted, and when he saw the banners insulting the Yang family on the table, he immediately added fuel to the fire, and he wanted to take Hongnong City first.

Hongnong is the place where the Yang family rises, where the roots of the clan are, and Yang Su's ancestors and Yang Jian's ancestors all came out of here.
It is said that Yang Xuangan took the righteous army to pass by his clan land, but he was so insulted by Yang Zhiji, the king of Cai, and he also felt that he was very embarrassed in front of the villagers.
Yang Xuangan instructed Shi Huaiyi, Han Shige, Wang Bodang, and Yang Gongdao to lead the troops, and led the troops to attack the four gates of Hongnong City on the same day, determined to fight a quick battle and take the city as soon as possible.
But Yang Zhiji had already prepared, and the nearest government soldiers were gathered in the city, plus many strong men were mobilized in the city, forming tens of thousands of horses and horses to hold the city.
He is regarded as a royal bloodline, and Yang Zhiji's father, Yang Quan, is a brother to Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, that is to say, Yang Zhiji and Yang Guang have the same grandfather, and the relationship is not far away.
Yang Zhiji was named King Cai, he rarely asks about major affairs of the court and politics, but he likes to make friends, and he is very good at being a person, even if Yang Guang's capricious personality is suspicious, but for Yang Zhiji, he has no opinions, neither hot nor cold, it can be said that Yang Zhiji understands the golden mean.
Now that the righteous army is passing by, Yang Zhiji has already organized troops here, to delay Yang Xuangan's westward march and protect the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui.
"Kill—"
The army attacked the city, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the arrows rained down, continuing to stage this cruel siege war.
The rebel army was formed improvised, the equipment was not complete, and many people did not have strict training, and in the face of such a tragic battle, they were about to die at every turn, and they were a little timid.
The main reason is that in the recent period, their righteous army has too few records, and they have not conquered any big cities at all, except for occupying Liyang City, so their confidence is also insufficient.
After the fierce battle on this day, the rebels suffered a lot of losses, and let a few fierce generals command the army to attack continuously, but in the case that the defenders had already taken precautions and the defending equipment was complete, according to the terrain, the rebels suffered a lot of losses.
Dusk fell, the remnant sun was like blood, and under the entire city, a lot of corpses were piled up, and there were bloody scenes everywhere, stumps and heads, which were unbearable.
………
When Luo Zhaoyun woke up, he felt severe pain all over his body, as if his body was about to fall apart.
However, he fell from a cliff thousands of feet high, and he did not break his brain and blur his flesh and blood, which was already extremely lucky.
"I didn't die, this is God will never stop me!" Luo Zhaoyun smiled bitterly, tried to move his limbs, and found that one arm was painful, it seemed to be broken, and his legs could still move, and there was no harm.
With this move, he suddenly woke up another body, Gu Qingshuang was also struggling, her body was next to Luo Zhaoyun, and one leg was still pressed by the other party.
"Am I dead?" She muttered to herself.
"Not yet, but it should be soon." Luo Zhaoyun's expression was cold, and he had already reached out to touch the dagger tied to his calf.
Gu Qingshuang heard someone speak, it seemed that General Luo was not dead, frowned, and noticed that there seemed to be a problem with one of his legs, as if he had broken a bone, the pain in his heart, the ribs on his side were also broken, and the corners of his mouth were coughing up blood.
"My mission seems to have failed."
"Maybe there's a chance!" Luo Zhaoyun said coldly, reaching out and touching the handle of the dagger, as long as the other party did not give up, or had a killing intention against him, he would strike first and directly kill this female assassin.
Gu Qingshuang didn't move, she didn't even look at him, she lay there sideways, her back to him, leaving only his slender back, she said weakly: "I have tried my best, and I have done what I should do, from the moment I fell off the cliff, I killed myself and sacrificed my life for righteousness, I have already repaid my obligations, whether you are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with me." ”
Luo Zhaoyun was stunned for a moment, held the dagger in his hand, and hesitated whether to stab it.
Now the female assassin was defenseless, her body couldn't move, her back was on him, and she could be stabbed to death with just a bucket used.
However, such a scene made him blackhand and stab a knife in the back of an injured and defenseless woman with her back to her, and he couldn't do it, so he hesitated.
"Luo Zhaoyun, what do you want? No poison is not a husband, if you want to do big things, you have to be informal, you can't have the kindness of a woman, she is an assassin, come to assassinate you, what are you doing with soft hands, fight for the world, you can't be soft-hearted! ”
"No, Luo Zhaoyun, she has changed her evil and returned to the right, as the so-called prodigal son does not change his money, put down the butcher knife, and become a Buddha immediately, such a person, do you still want to stab the knife in the back, is it a big husband's behavior?"
Two voices echoed in Luo Zhaoyun's mind, making him a little hesitant.
Luo Zhaoyun couldn't guess whether what the other party said was a lie, but listening to her words, it seemed that he also wanted to break away from the killer organization, he sighed lightly in his heart, how many of a girl who embarked on the road of a killer was voluntary? Aren't they all forced to be helpless, it's just that the only difference is that this woman still has a trace of kindness, tired of killing, looking at her demeanor after falling off the cliff, she doesn't want to tell a lie, so the dagger Luo Zhaoyun held in his hand didn't poke it out for a long time.
"Fight for the world, you can't be unscrupulous, there is no bottom line and principles, otherwise the formation of character will be difficult to really make the heroes attached, just like Wang Shichong, Li Mi and others in the history books, in the end, treacherous, narrow-minded, too suspicious, will be abandoned by the heroes under his command, I can't be a hero, and ignore my heart!" Luo Zhaoyun figured this out, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be much more open-minded all of a sudden, thinking that he could fit more things and more people.
He struggled for a while, trying to stay away from this female assassin, although he didn't want to kill her for the time being, but he had to guard against people, in case what she said was false and wanted to continue to plot to assassinate him, Luo Zhaoyun would never be soft again.
However, when he moved out of a meter, Gu Qingshuang didn't move, just calmly lay on her side, gradually flipped over, and became lying flat, quietly looking at the bright moon over the valley, her face was quiet and reverent, the moonlight sprinkled on her face, white as jade, the outline of her facial features, there was a posture of falling into the city, and her cheeks, which were originally frosty, looked a little relieved at this time.
"Tonight's moon is so round!" Gu Qingshuang couldn't take her eyes off it, and she had already ignored Luo Zhaoyun.
At this moment, Gu Qingshuang's whole person became a lot more relaxed, and she let go of some psychological baggage, although she understood that her injuries were not light, even if she didn't die now, the injuries on her body might not be able to climb out of the valley quickly, without water and food, maybe lying down for a few days, it was inevitable to die.
