Chapter 38: Stone City Flying Bloodstains
In this way, a general who led thousands of troops and horses, and a down-and-out wandering piano girl, met in this way. Dou Niang is timid and afraid of life, unwilling to talk to others, Dou Jiande knows that she cares about her life experience, so she no longer insists on it, because Dou Niang is a woman, staying with herself every day, and there is a lot of inconvenience in entering and leaving, Dou Jiande made a black dress for her in accordance with Dou Niang's wishes, and fought with one party. In this way, everyone only knew that there was an extra entourage beside the general, but they did not know that the person was a woman, so that the two were inseparable every day, eating together during the day and living together at night. It's just that there is a difference between men and women, although in one tent, Dou Jiande arranged Dou Niang in bed, and he slept with clothes. After more than ten days, I finally arrived in Shicheng.
At that time, Wang Shichong's climate was not successful, and his subordinates were less than a thousand people, because of lack of experience, he marched blindly and rushed forward, and was found by Li Mi and surrounded Shicheng. Li Mi knew that Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande had formed an alliance, so he wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the two of them, so although he surrounded Shicheng, he only besieged it, secretly transferred troops, and dispatched all the nearby allied forces, a total of nearly 10,000 people, quietly went to Shicheng, and released manpower to secretly tell Dou Jiande the news that Wang Shichong was besieged. Sure enough, when Dou Jiande heard the news, he immediately allocated 10,000 horses and drove to Shicheng. And Dou Jiande only needs to wait for Dou Jiande to come at this time, and he will come to catch turtles in an urn.
Dou Jiande's army arrived in Shicheng, and saw that the army besieging the city was only a few thousand, so he attacked in a game and filled in, Li Mi saw that Dou Jiande drove straight in, without the slightest doubt, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then sent an order so that the sergeants could not meet the attack, but only feigned retreat. Dou Jiande really hit the plan, thinking that Li Mi's army was vulnerable, so he thought about it and drove the army into the stone city, but as soon as the army entered the city, countless enemy troops appeared on the surrounding hills in an instant, and the stone city was surrounded again in an instant.
"How can you be so confused?" As soon as he entered the city, Wang Shichong grabbed Dou Jiande and cried bitterly: "He Li Miwei is fake to me, and it is true to take the opportunity to arrest you." How can you be so naΓ―ve? How easy was it to fall for him? It's really damn me!! β
"General Wang, you're bad!" Seeing that Shicheng was besieged, although Dou Jiande was also frowning, he said with a straight face: "It's true that I lack experience in marching and fighting, but I can't watch you being besieged to death by him Li Mi." If I let it go, what's the point of me forming an alliance with you? β
"Alas!" Wang Shichong heard Dou Jiande say this, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, you can be a confidant, but if there is chaos today, you are so kind-hearted, it will only harm you and your relatives in the future." Alas! That's it, now that we are in Weishi City, whether we live or die, let it be fate. With a long sigh, he went away, leaving Dou Jiande here without saying a word.
At night, Dou Jiande had no intention of sleeping, so he got up alone and paced on the city wall, looking from afar, there was a bright light on the mountain in the distance, all of which were campfires, which were Li Mi's army besieging the city. "Well, am I really going to die here?" He sighed and said: "I thought I was only a hundred people at the time, because I couldn't see the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty, so I fell into the grass, thanks to the love of the neighbors, with more than 10,000 people wandering around, I thought that I could live a good life in peace for a few days, is it going to end here?" Looking at the bright moon in the sky like a hook, a wild goose under the moon cries bitterly, and the voice is sad, and Dou Jiande tears when he hears it.
"Are you crying?" The voice of the woman behind her sounded, wiped away her tears and turned around, and saw that Dou Niang was dressed in white under the moonlight, reflecting the moonlight, like a Lingbo fairy. Dou Niang's long hair was fluttering, soaked in the night breeze and flying. Her eyes were as clear as snow, looking at Dou Jiande in front of her, revealing childlike affection, "Why are you crying?" β
"I cry because I'm afraid." Dou Jiande saw that Dou Niang was not wearing a snow suit, so he took off his robe and put it on for her, and gently dusted off the snowflakes from her hair.
"Afraid of what?" Dou Niang tilted her head slightly, a little puzzled.
"I'm afraid, I can't protect you and everyone anymore." Dou Jiande said with a gentle smile.
"Is it because of the people outside the city?" Dou Niang turned her head and pointed to the campfire on the mountain in the distance and asked Dou Jiande.
"Yes." Dou Jiande looked at Dou Niang, with a hint of desolation in his eyes.
"Your eyes have no light." Dou Niang suddenly stretched out her hand, put it on Dou Jiande's eyes and said, "How can I make it light up again?" β
"This time, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Dou Jiande smiled slightly: "After all, the number of people on the other side is more than double that of us." β
"Are you going to kill them all?" Dou Niang looked at the campfire and said suddenly.
"I don't want to kill." Dou Jiande shook his head and said: "At the beginning, I was just to eat enough and not be starved to death, but then there were more and more people following me, and I had no choice but to revolt." But as I said before, whose life is unique, if the world is peaceful, who will touch the sword soldier and kill people? Now that we are besieged by Stone City, if we can't break through, we will not escape death after all, it doesn't matter if I die, but when I think of my death, you will also be unable to escape death. I can't help but feel sad when I think about it. β
"I don't care about other people." Dou Niang shook her head and said, "I don't care what they do, I don't want you to die." You tell me, how can I save you? Do you want to kill people outside the city? β
"For now, that's the only way to do it." Dou Jiande smiled bitterly: "Wait until tomorrow night I will send a team of people to escort you to break through, I hope I can send you out safely." β
"I'm going to be with you." Dou Niang shook her head and said, "I don't want to go anywhere else." β
"Let's talk about it." Dou Jiande smiled softly: "Go back and have a good rest." β
"Hmm." Dou Niang nodded, took off the snow jacket and handed it back to Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande took it, and wanted to say something more, but Dou Niang had already gone alone.
Let's say that Dou Niang went back to the house, changed into a black clothes and hat, took the peach ghost qin, took a handful of silver pills from the piano box, and looked at the homeless people in the courtyard who fell into the trap of this stone city with Dou Jiande.
"I'm sorry." Dou Niang looked at those homeless people without a trace of expression on her face.
Late at night, Dou Jiande was sleeping peacefully, but was suddenly awakened by the intruding guards.
"Report!" The guard panicked, with a frightened look on his face.
"How...... What's wrong? Dou Jiande asked nervously: "Li Mi has marched?" β
"Nope! ......" the guard said: "I don't know who is outside the city, fighting with Li Mi's besieging army!" β
"The Great War!?" Dou Jiande asked in surprise, "Where did the friendly army come from?" β
"No......," the guard said, "There is only one person, it seems to be a luthier!" β
"What!?" Dou Jiande was shocked: "Could it be ...... Take me there! So saying, he got dressed and got up, and went out with the guard.
Coming to the city wall, Dou Jiande saw at a glance that the black and dark area under the city was full of enemies, no, it should be said that it was corpses, piles of corpses. Not far away, a black-clothed qinist was surrounded by ten thousand troops, and the enemy army surrounded her layer by layer, but they could not help her. I saw that the qinist's hands flew up and down on the guqin, and silver light flew out of the guqin, tearing open cracks in the circle of the crowd, two or three swords groaned, four or five pianos sang and swords, the heads were spinning, and the severed limbs were broken.
"Where is that sacred?! How capable is this? Wang Shichong looked at the pianist who came and went freely in the enemy formation and exclaimed: "Isn't it a god descending from heaven?" Help us get out of trouble? β
"Nope." Dou Jiande frowned slightly.
"That's a mortal who wants to protect his beloved."
The sound of the guqin screamed, the silver light reflected the moon and was cold, and by the time the sound of the qin song stopped, the black robe had already turned red.
The cold wind is biting, the geese and snow are flying, and the snow fields in the mountains are now red, the pianist took the guqin, stood against the wind, looked at Dou Jiande in the city, and said nothing.
"Open the gates!" Dou Jiande suddenly shouted, turned his head and rushed down to the city gate.
