Chapter 1374 - Who Can Save My Family?

"Run? Where else can I flee now? Now that the Song army is firmly in control, they will not give up if they don't take my life, no matter where I flee to, it will be a net of heaven and earth, and it can only cause countless brothers in the sect to die because of me... In the end, I underestimated the strength of the Western Army in the Border Court, it turned out that the Song Dynasty was still unfinished, but if the Song Dynasty did not die, it would definitely be our ...... if it died."

Fang La heard the call of the priest, but sighed miserably, and said in a long voice. Fang Jinzhi, who was on the side, couldn't help but burst out of his eyes when he heard the big tears in his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Daddy said it with a sigh!" Now that we have not been captured by the officers and soldiers, we still have hope! ”

Seeing his daughter grieving, Fang La reached out and stroked Fang Jinzhi's hair, and said again: "My hard-working child, originally I was just a hired laborer, all because of the Song Dynasty's stupidity and corruption, and allowed corrupt officials to defraud the people in the south of the Yangtze River, Daddy thought that the rebellion would be successful, and he could also teach the child to have the identity of a golden branch and jade leaf, but now it seems that it is Daddy who has affected you......"

Now in addition to Fang Tianding and Fang Jinzhi's son and daughter, Fang La's other two sons Fang Shu and Fang Bo, and the Shao family were captured by the Song army in the war of Shezhou and Muzhou, and among the other clansmen, Fang Qifo has died in the defeat of the attack on Xiuzhou, and the elderly Wang Gong Lao Buddha died of illness, and even his own sister Fang Baihua was intercepted and killed by the official army on the way to escape with the defeat of his troops, and he also disappeared after the chaotic battle......

Now that the elite of the Western Army of Zhulu has entered the secret path of the Gangyuan Cave, Fang La can almost predict his end. Since what he did was a major rebellion that he was willing to cut his body and pull the emperor off the horse, Fang La naturally had the psychological preparation to be tortured and killed by the imperial court after the defeat. It's just that his only hope now is to keep his own blood and bones to avoid the catastrophe in order to continue the bloodline of the Fang family.

But after all, he did such a great crime as rebellion, and after the failure of the uprising, the imperial court will inevitably be full of snares, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will also search for all the clansmen who are related to him and execute them together. Fang La knew that the deadline was approaching, and who would be able to keep the lives of his children safe at that time?

At this time, Deng Yuanjue, Wang Yin, Fang Tianding, Zhang Tao and others also came to see Fang La. And Si Xingfang heard that the sect leader was now afraid that he was already afraid of death, he stomped his feet fiercely, and said urgently: "Holy Father! Even if the current situation is so critical, but our brothers follow Kai to resist the tyranny of the Song Dynasty and want to do the great cause of changing the dynasty, even if they die, our brothers must fight before the Holy Father!

The brothers in the sect are respected and want to do great things together, which one is greedy for life and afraid of death? Let's gather the soldiers and horses everywhere, and there is still a battle with those birds of the Song army, but the Holy Father is entangled here, but Sha Mo has to lead the neck to be killed!? ”

Fang Lajian said and pondered for a moment, finally raised his head, and said: "Our sect brothers are all good men who stand up to the sky, we are not willing to be bullied by the traitors and dogs of the court, since we have risen up, we also have the consciousness of generosity and righteousness, and now since there is still room for a war, even if we die, we naturally have to stand and die!" It's just ......"

Speaking of this, Fang La's gaze couldn't help but look at Fang Tianding and Fang Jinzhi, he also knew very well that there was a huge disparity in the combat strength of the two sides now, and the encirclement of the officials and troops had become a suppressive trend.

If he was finally defeated by the encirclement and suppression of the officials and soldiers, how could Fang La be willing to teach Fang Tianding and Fang Jinzhi, the two children, to die with him?

Fang La's eyes drifted to Deng Yuanjue, Wang Yin and other henchmen in the sect with anxious faces, of course, he also knew very well that the treasure light in front of him and the Whistling Mountain Jun, in terms of skill, among the many good hands in Manichaeism, they were also among the best extravagant generals, but in the confrontation between the two armies and thousands of troops, the help that personal martial arts cultivation could play was really limited. Nowadays, there are still some altar masters and Dharma protectors in the sect such as Chen Hoop Bucket and Fang Fei who can lead troops to fight, and the Dharma protectors command the sect members to desperately resist the slaughter of the Song army outside, like Deng Yuanjue, Wang Yin and other fierce generals, who stay by their side, can only resist the siege of several Song troops at most, but can they have other uses, and protect their children thoroughly?

Analyzing the current situation, Fang La knew that the attention of the Song army who were now surrounded from all sides and coming to conquer was bound to focus on himself, and the remaining Manichaeans were the target that the officials and troops should focus on exterminating. However, the mountains around Bangyuan Cave are complicated, if Deng Yuanjue, Wang Yin and others, who are very capable, are entrusted to protect Fang Tianding and Fang Jinzhi, and climb the vines to find a remote path in the mountains and sneak away...... As long as he led the remnants of the sect to attract the pursuit of the officials and soldiers, he could not teach them to escape.

Of course, it would be best if he could lead the crowd to fight his way out of the encirclement, but unfortunately the chance was slim, Fang La thought that it would be even more dangerous to leave Fang Tianding and Fang Jinzhi by his side, so it was better to instruct Deng Yuanjue, Wang Yin and others to protect their children to the death, fight and break through the forbidden army encircled and suppressed all the way, and go over the mountains and mountains to avoid the arrest and escape of the official army. If you can escape one, you will be counted as one.

But even if they could teach Fang Tianding and Fang Jinzhi to escape, where would they devote themselves to surviving the disaster?

As the family members of the rebel leader, in the face of the government's layers of arrests, although the world is big, there is no place to stand. The green forests that gather in the mountains and forests are not reliable, and as for the other Manichaean strongholds that can be preserved for the time being...... Fang La's sudden thought of a figure named Zhong Xiang, who also used the promotion of Manichaean doctrine to win over the people in the area of Dongting Lake, but after he led most of the Manichaeans in the southern parts of the Yangtze River to rise up, Zhong was the opposite and unusual, and it seemed that he deliberately wanted to draw a clear line with the sect members of Fang La's department.

Zhong Xiang's house watched the fire from the other side, but he was afraid that he had already decided that my rebellion would be a failure, and he must have planned that one day if I waited for the encirclement and suppression of the early official army and the annihilation, he would secretly manage and develop for a period of time, and then the leaders of the Manichaean people in Jiangnan would not be replaced by him? If I lose my position and die, and when the Sect is secretly growing in the name of Manichaeism, how can I tolerate the orphans and widows of my family?

When Fang La was thinking righteously in his heart, he suddenly thought of the words spoken by the communist lord of the green forest and several mountains who had led his elite soldiers to defeat the army on Jingdong Road: "...... Thanks to the Sect Leader Chrysostom Yu's promise, I promised to take care of me in case we were defeated by the officers and soldiers, and I also said the same thing... If your sect is unable to resist the imperial army that comes to conquer, the relatives of Sect Master Fang can also go to the north to seek refuge with me......"

remembered that day, he thought that Xiao Tang did not have enough weapons, and he did not dare to wave his army to occupy the counties and towns of Junzhou and echo with his Manichaeans in the north and south, but now it seems that ...... Only then did Fang La realize that he was not as thoughtful as Xiao Tang about the development of the current situation. Although there was regret in his heart, it was too late, although Fang La's heart was hesitant for a while, but he also understood that even if his children escaped temporarily, they would no longer have a foothold in the face of the search and arrest of the imperial court in the future.

Thinking of this, Fang La sighed again, and secretly said: In addition to this road, do I have any other choice?
