Ting Zuo Yu Hou Wang Xingkong, one of the first six classes of the general's mansion (the cameo of the landlord of the book friend Star Sky King), was lying on the back of the bumpy and undulating horse a little drowsy, trying to stabilize his body so that he would not be dropped.

He was originally a wronged person in Huang Wang's hometown, although he was not an old brother of the Salt Gang or a child of Huang's hometown, but he was also from a township party that he followed in the early days; The name of Xingkong comes from the name of the Dharma that he once gave up to the monastery by his family to work as a small novice.

It's just that the world is in turmoil and there is a great hunger and a great epidemic after the great drought in Henan, and even the monks who retreat from the world and practice cannot be left alone. Several brothers in the prime of life were soon forced to flee the famine, leaving only the youngest and his master to take care of the house.

Relying on planting vegetables and digging roots in the mountains, he barely managed to maintain this small temple; Then the arrival of a warlike exile plunged them into danger and despair again. First, the old master was beaten to death, and then he resisted and killed the guards and escaped under the crisis of being locked up and ready to be eaten as food rations.

Now that the blood has been seen, the next thing is naturally logical. Drifting among the homeless people, he has done many things in order to survive. Until I heard that someone in a neighboring state gathered to make up for the heavens, known as the general of mending the sky, to seek a way out of life for those who couldn't survive.

Just when he was halfway through with the crowd, he heard that there was also a local hero surnamed Huang, and he took the county seat and began to release food to the hungry, so she turned around logically, and became the first batch of new pawns and subordinates recruited by King Huang in the township.

Then I witnessed with my own eyes in the old camp how the Yellow King, from an ordinary leader of the righteous army who was repeatedly defeated and repeatedly dropped out, became a general of the Heavenly King step by step, and also looked at and relied on for it, and even one of the big leaders of the righteous army who was jealous.

However, an unhappy Zhao'an banquet in Qizhou disintegrated the union of the leaders of the rebel army; In addition to the unjust township party, only a small number of rebels were willing to follow the departure of King Huang. After months of displacement, after many setbacks and ups and downs, a bad news suddenly came.

The 50,000 rebel troops under the general of the Emperor of Heaven were finally besieged by the imperial court in the midst of deception and delay, and they were all killed in the land of Huangmei (now Huangmei, Hubei) one after another; So, unfortunately, the hope of the world's rebel army, which was leaderless for a while, gathered on the Yellow King who was attacking Songzhou.

Soon, Shang Rang, the younger brother of Shang Junchang, the second person of the original righteous army, came to defect with the old department of the general of the mending sky; And then he took advantage of the situation to encourage everyone to push the Yellow King, and then built an altar to stand on his own, and became a general who was called a cupola, and the rebel army in the sea was in charge, and the king of Jianyuan was the official and general. With Shang Rang as the deputy commander of the domestic rebel army second only to himself.

Wang Xingkong was also able to become a member of the newly formed pro-camp guard near the Yellow King, and since then he has become more and more respectful of this immortal hero and hero who asked for the people's life. followed the journey to the north and south, and witnessed the ups and downs and transformations of the people around the Yellow King more closely.

Including how he became unpredictable and dedicated from his past of compassion and closeness to his subordinates, and how he gradually paid attention to his pomp and decency from simplicity and simplicity; But he always believes that no matter how these performances change, the Yellow King is still the same Yellow King, and he is still the great hero who led the people to survive by asking for their lives.

Even if there have been several cases of officials who have been captured before and after, they have asked the court of heaven to kill for peace; But what happened afterwards can still prove to people that this may be nothing more than an expedient measure to deceive and mislead the dog court. Even the people around him gradually became flashy, extravagant and greedy for vanity, and the Yellow King also established a strict back house system in groups of wives and concubines...

However, a tearing pain once again pulled him back to reality from the flashes of past memories.

Now, the howling hot wind has dried the blood flowing down his face and turned it into a hard scab that falls off at the touch of a button. And the wound on his head was no longer bleeding, but only a swollen and dull pain. Only where the arrow is hit in the back, as long as it is slightly involved, it is a heart-rending pain.

It was hard for Wang Xingkong to imagine that the people who attacked him would be his comrades who had always been kind in the past, and many of them died before that. First, those who had secret dealings with the head of Shang were taken down and tortured, and then those who had anything to do with the former general Huang Hao were imprisoned one after another;

Next, it was the turn of those who had transferred from the government, as well as the leaders of the new local regiments and township soldiers... However, before he could come back to his senses, the butcher's knife from the Yellow King Xiaowei and the pro-army that was still dripping blood suddenly turned again, and they were the old camp brothers who didn't know why.

With the disappearance and removal of those who were taken away one after another, in the end, even the eldest brother who had always taken care of him, the old battalion general Huang Er, who was born in the old battalion, was not spared; And it was Huang Cun, his former captain of Shangguanmen, who took him away with his own hands and never came back. Then, someone inadvertently saw the body that was suspected to have been tortured to death.

Just because he once worked with the virtual monk who was the son-in-law of the Yellow King for a long time as the representative of the Yellow King, he consciously or unconsciously praised and admired some of the other party's ideas in his daily words. For example, the system of separate camps for men and women, the division of land and the resettlement of dependents for the soldiers to work, and the complete liquidation of those squires and wealthy families, rather than conditionally collecting them for their own use。。。。。

Of course, the obvious reason that came out afterwards was that as a personal servant directly under the military government, he didn't want to do his best to repay, but secretly leaked the secrets around Huang Wang. So at this point, he can only find a way to escape from this dangerous whirlpool.

After all, whoever called him was also one of the people who went to this big brother, and he had studied some of the pamphlets that had been circulated in private, and he had expressed deep sympathy. Therefore, among the so-called leakage of confidential information, he is naturally not missing.

But then before he could find an opportunity to be released, another incident happened that made him fall into the abyss completely. When he secretly cleaned up the big brother Huang and left behind him, thinking that he would avoid suspicion and destroy the credentials to protect himself, he accidentally discovered a hidden secret.

That's the big brother, and it's really evidence of some communication with the Taiping army; And on a piece of paper that had been hastily hidden before it was finished, and had become filthy and tattered, a terrible fact was found that was enough to shake the rebels.

Because just more than half a month ago, the Yellow King had secretly signed an edict for the imperial court to recruit peace and reward, and the eldest brother Huang Er, who was born in the party and clan of Huangwang Township, was not angry because he unintentionally learned about it, and wanted to spread the news in secret, so he was suddenly affected by this.

The heavens and the earth in his eyes seemed to collapse all at once; Could it be that everyone has been working hard for so many years, just to let the Yellow King, who failed in the imperial examination, and his close followers worship the king, and become one of those dog officials and vassal marshals in the damned imperial court again.

So he made a decision in the heat of impulse and disappointment to send the corresponding news on behalf of this big brother; However, then he regretted changing his mind, and wanted to hide the news that could shake the good situation of the righteous army to watch the aftermath.

At this time, he had befriended and practiced the calligraphy and literature of the Taiping Army together on weekdays, but he privately came to him to find out the inside story of the big brother's suffering; However, this is just a trap for the plan.

Those who have been in contact with Big Brother are inevitably implicated; And this close-knit comrade is no exception. So in order to get rid of himself, he also involved Wang Xingkong by the way. At this time, he must have hesitated about Wang Xingkong's life in his heart, because he was already indefensible.

But he is from the pro-camp of King Huang, and he has also been a long-term guard, and he is from the township party of the wrongful sentence; Therefore, the other party still took the time to ask the people of the Yellow Gate Eight Sons before taking measures; Only then did he give him a chance to rush out of the Great Wall of Heaven before anyone came to surround his courtyard under the pretext of sending a document to the palace.

Despite this, he was wounded several times when he passed through the gates that were about to be closed and temporarily shook off the street pursuers. This also made his heart more and more sad, he didn't want to die on the streets, let alone die in humiliation and pain, but those people obviously had no intention of being captured alive when they started.

He could only run along the road to the south, regardless of it; Maybe he still had the opportunity to risk his life to meet the Yellow King to intercede and excuse himself, but with his run, there was no room for any slowdown.

Moreover, although he was exhausted from his injuries, at least he was still sane. And I know that the rebel army under the name of the General's Mansion is now known as more than 100,000 people, but there is basically no place for him anymore.

Whether it is General Manager Shang or Gai Dutong, or Fei Xianxian, or General Pang Lao, they are all too deeply involved in the Huangwang Military Mansion; Only the Taiping Army, which the big brother had communicated with and had high hopes for, might be able to give him a way out and a turnaround.

In this bumpy and worried mind, I don't know how long I have been running, and I don't know where I am; Wang Xingkong suddenly stumbled forward and fell to the ground for a long distance; The position of the middle arrow on his back was also broken by the rolling pressure and penetrated a few points, and he suddenly broke his heart and lungs, and the pain was so painful that he immediately woke up.

Then I saw a few clumps of grass wriggling, and stretched out to form human figures draped in cloaks full of grass branches, and then surrounded the empty road of Wang Xing, who was already in pain, and could not speak.

"Yi Damao, I'm afraid you're in trouble."

"Isn't this a letter soldier ordered by the military government?"

"You've set up a rope that has accidentally injured someone."

"Why don't you lift the person up and get to the side to find out the reason."

Another voice said.

Then, because of the exhaustion and the weakness of the pain, Wang Xingkong, whose consciousness began to blur, felt that he was being lifted up and moved to another position, and then someone poured him a spicy drink, and began to cut his armor to deal with those injuries.

And all this Wang Xingkong felt like he was in a dream, until a voice sounded again:

"Hide, someone is coming again. Are all those traces cleaned up?。。 ”

Hearing this, Wang Xingkong couldn't help but struggle with a wit; I wanted to say something to these unknown people, and I could only make a hoarse "hey" sound in my throat.

At the same time, the temporary station in Yangzi County where Zhou Huai'an led his troops was already a different style and atmosphere.
