77. Dilemma
Early in the morning of the summer solstice, my spring dream was interrupted by a whip. The petty officers in the army love to beat me very much, according to their words, "There are not many opportunities to beat the prince in this life, and I will fight and cherish it." I closed my eyes and snatched the whip back, and the air in the tent froze.
"I heard that the prince sleepwalked well, and I really admire my personal experience today!"
I squinted my eyes and got up, put on a heavy and useless armor, only to see that the person who came was the second Mazi of the king of the camp, who had smallpox when he was a child, and left a dense "star" on his face, and now there is an extra "galaxy".
It is reported that today is another guerrilla war, and the other side has sent more than 300 men, and just sent 500 people from our battalion to meet the battle.
After leaving the customs, I looked back at the city wall, and saw Duanmulan staring at me solemnly, waving at me without worry, and in the pass, there was a little sound of generals.
When I couldn't see the city wall and arrived at the unavoidable wilderness battlefield outside the pass, Wang Er Mazi left the team under the pretext of a small relief, and I dragged him off his horse and pulled out the fish intestine sword and held him hostage.
After all, Wang Er Mazi relied on real military exploits, and asked sharply: "Lord Wang, do you want to rebel?" ”
The rest of them showed their spears at me.
I sneered: "If I want to rebel, why bother to come to the northwest where birds don't?" Tell us the truth, how many enemy troops came? ”
Xin Si was shocked: "We were abandoned? ”
The rest of the people were in chaos, and some even sat on the ground and wept.
"If you don't want to die, be quiet!" I pressed the sword down again, and Wang Er Mazi wrapped a red thread around his neck, "Do you want to say it?" ”
"The military order is like a mountain, and my second king has never violated it! We're all going to die anyway, so kill me! ”
I said to the five hundred soldiers: "Everyone, hear me, we are going to die anyway, and any grievances will be vented on our Wang Dutong, who regards death as home!" ”
I pulled a rope out of the bag and tied him hand and foot.
This group of people was originally a group of hooligan robbers, and someone shouted: "Lao Tzu hasn't had a chance to touch a woman for more than ten years, let me give him all the inventory before I die!" ”
When he came out, he had just ordered a general, indicating that it would take some time for the enemy to arrive. I kicked him into the crowd: "Feel free, don't play to death at once!" ”
Originally, the people who carried guns against me all raised their "guns" at Wang Er Mazi.
Xin Si came to my side: "How did the prince find out?" ”
I pretended to be silent.
I already knew that the emperor would find an opportunity to kill me, but I didn't expect to send me 500 people to accompany me to the funeral.
After satisfying a few people, Wang Er Mazi vomited breathlessly, and begged for mercy when his mouth was empty: "Lord, please give me a good time!" ”
I habitually ordered, "Stand down, everyone has something to say." ”
After saying that, I remembered that we were at the same level, but the others didn't seem to react, and they all gave me a face.
Wang Er Mazi smiled miserably and said, "Luotang has come with an army of 100,000 to attack Yumen Pass. ”
I don't know how many people were scared of guns and disarmed.
I asked, "Who is the commander?" ”
"The boss is His Royal Highness King Luotang Xu, Dongfang Shaomu, and the deputy marshal is King Xu's right-hand man."
Four hundred people were already paralyzed on the ground, and a hundred were excited.
Dongfang Shaomu entered the barracks at the age of thirteen, and made great achievements in the world, he and the combination of criminal warfare were invincible, the two were the main and deputy marshals on the route of the Luotang Eastern Expedition, and twenty-four of the thirty-six countries were defeated by them, and their army was called the "undefeated lion", and the soldiers in the northwest were terrified. The 100 people who were excited were recruits who were confiscated with me, and they didn't know how powerful Dongfang Shaomu and the criminal war were, but they were just interested in the romantic history between me and Dongfang Shaomu.
"Thank you." I slashed his throat with a sword.
Xin Si also has a weak energy: "The prince ......"
I stared at him with a smile and asked, "Are you scared too?" Or did you not expect to be sold too? ”
"Lord Wang?!"
More people began to plead: "Lord, what should we do?" ”
If you advance, you will face an army of 100,000 people, and if you retreat, you will be treated as a deserter, and you will be shot before you can get close to the city gate. The only choice we have is to die at the hands of the enemy or at the hands of our own people. It is a great honor for hundreds of thousands of troops to flank our 500 people just to get rid of me.
I spoke aloud for everyone to hear: "If you believe me, I will ride on this only horse and carry the only bow to attack the enemy general, and there is about a 1 in 10,000 chance of success; If you don't believe me, I'll stay with you and die. ”
"Lord Wang, let's go! Even if you are really a collaborator and treason, you can live one! ”
"It was the country that betrayed us, and it is understandable that you will betray the country again!"
The people who walked 8,000 miles with me chimed in.
"If I live, I will come back! Xin Si will come with me, and if I betray everyone, you will kill me. ”
I grabbed Xin Si, who couldn't react, on his horseback and rode westward.
I lay on Xin Si's shoulder and said: "The emperor did not hesitate to put the jade gate in the hands of the enemy in order to put me to death, and also put the secret guard who had been trained for more than ten years. ”
The emperor's secret guard organization, Traceless, specializes in assassination, which was investigated by the Demon Shadow after Lejia destroyed the door last year.
I felt Wusi tremble in front of me, and I knew that he was exposed, and he said bluntly: "Can the prince tell Wusi how you found out?" ”
"Last season, someone went bankrupt for the crowdfunding killer and did not hesitate to rob and go to prison, but fortunately, the prince got married in the autumn and amnesty was granted to the world, leaving only the rebels and the party ......"
Xin Si smiled bitterly: "It turns out that I made such a serious mistake. ”
"The first time I saw you, it was the night His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the palace, and I still gestured to you, can I remember? The second time I saw you, I blocked an arrow from the back for you in the Beijing suburb incident. ”
"Those two times were late at night, I was hidden in the dark, and the prince could recognize me?"
"If you spend two years in a place where there is no light, you can see at night."
In fact, it's fake, I haven't seen the light for two years, and I'm going to be blind, but I found out that his identity is different and sent the Demon Shadow to investigate him carefully.
He stiffened his body and was ready to die: "The prince has known all the way, and I am grateful that I can still live until now, you can do it!" ”
I leaned against his profile and saw that he had closed his eyes serenely, and there were still sparkling drops of water on his eyelashes.
I sighed: "It is your duty to spy on me, you have worked so hard to pass the military exploits and live in the sun, I called you here to give you a great merit, if you can go back alive, you don't have to work hard to gather people." ”
All the way to the west, the aura of slaughter became heavier and heavier, Wusi and I held our breath and concentrated, and the old war horse sitting down also felt the heaviness of the atmosphere and lightened our steps.
Wusi is a secret guard, good at concealing the breath, and the spies in the army are the class men with axes in front of him, so he asked: "Lord Wang, there are two spies, do you want to intercept them?" ”
"No, they are needed."
I took off the golden feather from my neck and shook it in my hand, and the spies saw it and went back.
I put the golden feather around Wusi's neck and whispered a few words to him.
Just after noon, we arrived at the Luotang camp, where they were resting before leaving.
Because of the spies' report in advance, the sentry did not stop him, but just asked for a token, Wusi took off the golden feather and handed it over, the sentry went to the depths of the camp to report, Wusi whispered: "I now suspect that the prince is really collaborating with the enemy and treason." ”
I took a half-step back beside him, bit his ear and said, "As a secret guard, why do you talk so much?" ”
"I couldn't speak before, but when I finally got able to speak, I naturally spoke more."
"If you can go back alive, you will also lose the emperor's trust, don't be greedy when you can get out." I keep my last words.
"Lord ......"
"Ahem," the sentry came back, he only showed our affection, ignoring it: "His Royal Highness King Yu, our prince invites you to go in, and this little brother please wait." ”
Wusi followed him in, and a group of men escorted me to an empty tent with heavy troops outside.
That's when it's up to my magic.
I quickly figured out a few main accounts, turned to look for Wusi, stunned the sentry when no one was around, and exchanged information with Wusi, I looked at the scorching sun and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Do you know what to do today?" ”
He was stunned for a moment and said, "It's Bingwu." ”
I was speechless for a long time, when the patrol soldiers approached, and he disappeared with a light effort. It is worthy of being a secret guard, and it is not much worse than a spell that fights for 108,000 miles.
I secretly supported the sentry to make it look like he was escorting me behind me, and entered the camp of the Oriental Youth, and squeezed the sentry with his hand.
Dongfang Shaomu grabbed my hand and said happily: "Ah Qi! ”
The sentry thought he had lost his mind for a moment, and left with a sense of humor.
I pulled out my hand and sneered: "I want to wander in the red dust, read countless people, lose countless people, and fold it in your hands several times." ”
Dongfang Shaomu: "Ah Qi, I took advantage of you, but I didn't lie to you. ”
"There are a lot of people who know about your relationship with Bingwuri." I used an affirmative tone.
Because it was Bingwu Day, Duanmulan pushed me out without hesitation. Oriental Mucuna can really turn his weaknesses into strengths.
"I just wanted to meet you."
I laughed angrily: "If you want to see me, you will frame me as a collaborator and treason, and let the emperor exile me for 8,000 miles!" If you want to see me, let my country abandon me, and force me to be a captive? Now that you've got your wish to see me, can I go? ”
Dongfang Shaomu stopped me: "You go back just to die, why don't you stay in Luotang, you like Wuguo, we will capture Wuguo, you will be the emperor of Wuguo." ”
"You are too arrogant, Luotang can't win, and retiring from the army as soon as possible will be good for Luotang and you."
"I know that your emperor wants to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but Luotang is not as weak as you think."
I was so anxious that I didn't know if I could get it, and I had to buy him time to escape.
I was impatient and sweaty, and I asked, "It's getting hotter and hotter, do you know where you can bathe in the river?" ”
An army of 100,000 is encamped here, and there must be a source of water.
Seeing that my gray face is really dirty, Dongfang Shaomu does not doubt that he has him: "I'll take you there." ”
To the west of the tent, the green trees are verdant, and the clouds are swaying, and a small stone pool is inlaid with crystal. In the barracks, I was grizzled every day, huddled among a bunch of sour men, and I hadn't been able to take a shower for months.
I unbuckled my armor, undressed and eagerly jumped in. Oriental Mucuna wanders on the shore.
I lay on the shore and said, "You can go back first in a hurry, anyway, if you go back to Yumen Pass from here, you will pass through your camp, and I can't escape." ”
Dongfang Shaomu took out the golden feather and put it around my neck: "You keep this golden feather, it also contains a promise from me, you should also give me a token of love, which belongs to you, not your Royal Highness the Prince." ”
I dug out the Qiankun bag in the pile of dirty clothes and took out a golden black sun pendant carved by ice and jade: "I carved it myself, don't dislike it." ”
"Ah Qi carving is so exquisite, how can I dislike it, it's just that there is one less rope ......"
He shortened the noose of the golden feather around my neck, cut off a section, passed through the golden black sun, and put it around his neck.
"We are tied to the same red rope, the rope is continuous, the knots are untangled, and we can't take off each other's tokens!"
I looked at him and could only say two words: "Childish." ”
I don't know how long Wusi ran, in short, I soaked in the water for a long time, and someone finally found me in the Luotang camp, and said a few words in the ear of Dongfang Shaomu, who slashed me with purple eyes like stars.
I slowly went ashore, put on the clean clothes he had prepared for me, and followed him back to the camp.
The head of the torture battle was cut off, Dongfang Shaomu lost a big arm, and the army's morale was weakened.
"Shao Mucun, the blood has dried up, run now, Duanmulan will not give up this opportunity."
Wusi is safe, the five hundred soldiers are safe, the Yumen Pass is safe, but Dongfang Shaomu is in danger, and I am also in danger.
Dongfang Shaomu slapped me again: "What kind of face do you have to say this?" Le Wuqi, this king mistakenly believed you! ”
"We just don't owe each other."
Now I think the two pendants around our necks are particularly glaring.
"Escort His Royal Highness King Yu down and keep him under strict guard."
