Chapter Eighty-Three: The Boss of the Lost Father
The air in the dense forest was exceptionally humid, and the cold mountain wind rustled the leaves.
Tie Chuli was escorted to a tree house, and the murderer brought a plate of half-baked lamb shank, and when he bit it, he almost jumped out of one tooth, but he still ate the whole leg of mutton in three times and five divided by two, and wiped his mouth and thought, these robbers have done all the bad things, but they eat very well, such a big leg of mutton, if it is placed in the fortress of the tenth day, it is the amount of five soldiers, besides, there is no leg of mutton to eat in the fortress, General Feng Da should be short of food, otherwise, how can he reduce the rations of the soldiers? And that's not a good sign. The lords and nobles who should have been scraped alive took away the grain from the fortress and filled the sacks with sand and mud, and he knew this very well, because the nobles and nobles had ordered people to dig up the mud and sand when they were leaving, and Techuli was one of them.
A flock of vultures circled in the treetops, and a vulture flew towards the treehouse and came to rest on the roof.
The murderer went to boil hot water, Tie Chuli walked to the window, looked around, the red sunset was sinking from the direction of the fortress, the robbers in the woods were burying pots to cook, the black smoke filled the woods, at a glance, there were scattered scenes outside, some people were slaughtering sheep, some people were peeling skins, and even, he saw a huge cowhide being stretched on the branches, but Tie Chuli knew that outside this dense forest, in the relatively flat riverbed, under the cover of the reeds, Hundreds of people were busy building siege equipment.
"Ga ......"
The vulture on the roof screamed suddenly, and a bloody object fell, right on Tiechuli's head, he subconsciously reached out and touched it, took it in his hand and looked at it, and almost vomited, this is a slippery and greasy eyeball, a human eyeball, there is a little gray-white spot on it, Tiechuli knows this eyeball, its original owner is his comrade, and he follows him to search for the traces of the robbers on the orders of General Feng. Now, he thought, the robbers' den had been found, but my comrades and I were all dead, yes, I was a dying man.
"Hahaha." Several of the caretakers outside the treehouse burst into laughter, their bows and arrows pointed at Techuli, their smiles grim.
It was a conspiracy that they used to make the people in the fortress of the Ten Days fearful, and that General Feng had to send scouts to confront them. They have gained time, and General Feng has lost time, what a bunch of rats, disgusting and despicable rats.
No, I can't die, I have to get the news out.
I need to let General Feng Da know of this letter as soon as possible.
But can I escape? It's heavily guarded, and I've escaped once, but failed. Even if I escape, how much help can I do to General Fengda? The enemy's conspiracy has been achieved, they have built enough siege equipment, and there are some big leaders, presumably the army is enough.
The man who boiled the water returned, and he stood under the tree and shouted: "Nobleman, please come out and enjoy your hot water, for the last time in this life." He pointed to the bushes, where there was a bucket of steaming water.
The last time?
Tie Qiuli's heart trembled inexplicably, and an unspeakable fear came out of nowhere, making him breathe rapidly, he thought, perhaps, this is what General Feng Da said, death is not terrible, humility in the face of death is even more terrible, yes, I am not afraid of death, but some fear of it is too long. Li Chuli clenched his fist tightly, stretched the tip of his tongue under his teeth, and bit hard, the pain in his heart made his face distort slightly, but his mind stabilized, he swallowed the salty and sweet blood on his tongue, and said coldly: "Bring water in, after I am the Tieqiu clan, how can I not know what etiquette and shame are like you?" ”
"Hehe...... The person who boiled the water looked at Tie Qiuli fiercely, pulled out the sword on the sword bag with a snort, and said angrily: "Now, you are just a captive, if it weren't for the leader Kai'en, you would have died under my sword." ”
That's my sword, Ricula thought to herself.
"Anyway, he can't see the sun tomorrow, so you should accumulate some yin virtue, lest the leader be held accountable, and you and I will not be pleased. You know, the leader is also a nobleman. "A man with a bow is humane to the boiling water.
As soon as he heard this, the man who boiled the water was furious, stared at Tie Qiuli deadly, and for a while, snorted coldly, inserted his sword into the sword bag, and turned to walk towards the bucket of hot water. Techuli watched as his lapped legs stepped on the floppy leaves, one high and one low. The little blacksmith in the fortress thought to himself, "Very well, you have my sword with you, and your stature is similar to mine, and if I kill you, I think my comrades will be very happy if they have spirits under the spring." And I'm a soldier, I'm not dead yet, I have to do my duty.
……
The sun is about to sink, and the last of its rays are reddening over blood.
From the winding mountain path swam an iron dragon, and they marched through the depths of the blood-colored green hills, along the riverbed, about three thousand men, all in armor, half of them horses, halberds and spears glowing in the afterglow of the setting sun. At the foreground is a flag bearer, holding a thorn flower banner in his hand, and the thorn flower cloak behind his back covers the horse's buttocks. A black bird pierced the setting sun, rushed towards the flag bearer, landed on the flag, and shouted at the man at the front of the group.
The man was different, he was not dressed in a thorn flower, but a tattered, hole-riddled crimson coat, still dressed in iron armor, from the scarred shoulder armor obliquely peeking through a sword, the setting sun fell on his helmet, but he could not wear the cold iron armor, only a pair of big black eyes could be seen in the helmet. At his side was a scrawny old horse, even though it was covered with a layer of gorgeous Chu Jin, but it could not hide its old spirit, every few steps, it would stop and gnaw on the tender grass on the ground. Perhaps, it is because of it that this iron dragon travels so slowly.
However, slowness does not mean weakness.
There were thousands of people and horses, but no one made a sound, only the sound of horses' hooves and the grinding of iron armor. They seemed to be one, and they seemed to be made of iron and stone, their eyes were as cold as death, and even their expressions were exactly the same, as if they were eternal ice.
Dead air, spreading over them.
The middle-aged man was walking side by side with the man who was missing half of his nose. When they came to the man in the red coat, the middle-aged man looked up at the blackbird on the flag, and smiled unnaturally: "I have been looking forward to it day and night, and I have finally brought the big leader." ”
The man in the red coat did not speak, but nodded to the two of them, and rode away. The person who was missing half of his nose shook his nose and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, and there was anger in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
"Haha, the two leaders can work hard."
At this time, a black and thin man came out of the horse team, with a thin body and a strange costume, wearing a crown on his head, but he was wearing iron armor, but the iron armor was very ill-fitting, and wearing it on his body was like a wooden stick with an iron can, which was very funny. When he came here, he turned over and dismounted, took the old horse, and said as he walked: "I heard that the general of the wind in the fortress of the Ten Days is a barbarous person, but I don't know how arrogant this man is, and he has forced the two leaders to such a field. I remember that the place that was set in the past was not here. As he spoke, he turned around and asked a bald-headed giant man with a huge war hammer on his back: "Xiong Zhan, is this Luomei Valley?" ”
"Luomei Valley?"
The bald giant twisted his brows, thought for a while, and said coldly: "There must be plum blossoms in Luomei Valley, but what else is there here besides reeds?" We had been to the Valley of Plums the other day, but all that was left was a burned camp and a row of heads stuck in peach trees, as if I remember correctly. ”
"Haha." The black man laughed.
The middle-aged man's face changed, and he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. The man who was missing half of his nose couldn't help it, so he pulled out his sword with a snort and shouted: "Gongsun Yibai, you dare to insult me?" ”
"I'm not insulting you, I'm just telling you a very simple truth, a snake can't be headless, and the same is true for marching and fighting, if we don't find the old man who loses and send someone to send the old man, you will toss for another hundred years, and you may not be able to gnaw the fortress of the second half of the day, and maybe, you will be divided and devoured by the general of the wind. Perhaps, the general of the wind in Chaoge City doesn't have that ability, but if it's the one in the Shunri Fortress, I think, the two of you know better than me. However, attacking the city, when the heart is the first, the plan of the leader of the green lion is indeed intimidating, and Gongsun Yibai admires it. The black and thin man led the horse, his eyes looking straight ahead, his voice was not salty or light, but his words were very direct. After saying the last sentence, he turned his head and smiled at the middle-aged man on the horse, showing a row of white Hetian teeth.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face softened slightly, his eyes stared at the big leader in front of him, and said indifferently: "If you don't have the same heart, you will fail. ”
"What about you, Chieftain?" The black and thin man looked at the man with half of his nose missing, and he had a playful smile in his eyes.
The man named Gu Qi hummed and said: "What's the use of saying it beautifully, if I can get the head of the wind and the light night to avenge my son, I will give you my own head to kick as a ball, so what's the matter!" ”
"The leader is quick to talk." The black and thin man praised gently.
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and if you succeed in it, you will attack the city."
The great chief, who had not spoken, spoke, in a soft, lazy voice, as if with a hint of weariness.
……
The sunset sank behind the Lapis Mountain, and 3,000 people plunged into the vast forest, like a black wave diving into the sea, without a trace of it. The tent is set up in the riverbed, and the big leader in a red hat sits behind the main table, the green lion and the instrument sit at the bottom, and on the left head is an old man wearing a high crown and a wide robe.
The old man's face was elegant, his eyes were small, but he was extremely attentive, and at this moment, he was saying: "The old man looks at the city defense of the fortress on the tenth day, if a few leaders send people to sneak in to make trouble, it is okay, but if you want to take the city and take it, it is extremely difficult. The arrangement of the walls is not for the idle to do, and if the army makes a strong attack, it will be broken under the wall. Come to think of it, those who can have this means must be the masters of the Mo family. ”
"A master of the Mo family?"
The people in the tent were stunned.
