Chapter 129: Rewarding the Righteous
Two miles away, on the edge of a small forest, there was a muddy and sandy land with dense aquatic plants, which had been soaked in stagnant water for a long time, forming a large quagmire. Ren Hua fled here on horseback, but the horse stepped on the mud on the edge of the pool, slipped and fell, and even the man and the horse fell into the mud. Ren Hua struggled as hard as he could, but he was stuck in the thick mud, where could he easily get out, he watched the war horse slowly sink into the mud, and finally let out a sad cry and finally didn't have a top, so Ren Hua was even more flustered and struggled desperately, but when he fell into the swamp, he was most taboo to twist his body vigorously and struggle, Ren Hua was slowly buried in the mud to his abdomen, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move anymore.
As far as the eye could see, the surroundings were dark and silent, and it was extremely wet and cold. Ren Hua was frightened and anxious, and shouted loudly, but no one came to save him when his throat was broken, except for the tired birds in the forest that kept startling, no living creatures appeared in his eyes, and a dead air began to envelop this quagmire.
The lower half of the body, which was trapped in the mud, was gradually numb and unconscious. Ren Hua was a little dazed, and when it was almost dawn, he began to have a high fever, and the whole person couldn't get up and didn't slide down for a while, he only felt like he was thrown into the raging sea of anger, it was dark in front of him, and his body obviously couldn't move, but it seemed to be stirring and spinning there, his chest was hot and about to burst into flames, and he was pouring buckets of cold water on his back. He occasionally opened his feeble eyelids and looked at it, like a petrified tombstone, pestled in the black mud.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the distance. Ren Hua's heart jumped, and he raised his heavy eyelids vigorously to follow the voice, although his vision was a little blurry, but in the dim distance, there were indeed many figures walking towards this side. Ren Hua looked at it for a moment, his lips trembled with excitement, at this moment he thought in his heart, no matter who came, whether it was friend or foe, as long as it was a human being, it was a living person, it would be fine, he felt as if he was alone in the monstrous waves of the vast ocean for a long time, and finally saw a ship representing hope.
"Save ...... Life! ”
Although the cold rain will stop and the air is moist, Ren Hua's throat is dry and hoarse, and he didn't even shout out the first two sounds, but just made a senseless sound in his throat.
The large group of people finally came up and formed a large circle along the edge of the quagmire, it was the army! Ren Hua subconsciously seemed to twist his body, but he felt that he had sunk a little further, so frightened that he quickly stopped his movements, he opened his eyes wide and looked left and right, and suddenly shouted: "You guys, it's your own people!" It's the Jin Army! ”
Although these people lost their armor and pretended to be embarrassed, on the whole, they could still know that it was indeed the Jin army. Ren Hua didn't dare to move again, straightened his neck and shouted: "I'm the partial general Ren Hua!" Get me out of here! ”
No one made a sound, and the onlookers looked at him silently, as if they had all turned into statues. Ren Hua roared anxiously: "What the are you doing stupidly?" Don't come and save me yet! ”
A man stepped forward from the crowd, walked to the edge of the quagmire, and then gently tried to step on the heavy mud with his foot, and sure enough, before the center of gravity was all down, he felt that the person was about to sink, the man quickly withdrew his foot, nodded, and muttered to himself: "Such a swamp, sinking is really a disaster." ”
As he spoke, the man raised his head and stared at Ren Hua directly, with a strange look on his face. Ren Huaben also looked at it in a daze, and finally shouted at this moment: "Yang ...... Checkmate! ”
Yang Tao stood by the pond and was full of emotion. He secretly scolded Ren Hua's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart, and he just wanted to take a few bites alive, but he never expected to meet again, it would be such a scene.
"Ren Hua," Yang Tao finally spoke, and in his faint voice, some were just tired, "Do you know Lao Ding?" ”
Ren Hua was stunned, he expected that Yang Tao would be angry, would scold him, and even turn around, he even pleaded with words, but he never expected Yang Tao to ask such a clueless sentence as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I, Lao Ding, Lao Ding seems to be a personal soldier next to you, is it the team leader......?"
Yang Tao nodded blankly, as if talking to the air, "Lao Ding is just a soldier, but he can stand up at a critical moment, lead away the enemy, and cover us." The result is predictable, Lao Ding died. ”
Where was Ren Hua willing to listen to Yang Tao's verbosity, he interrupted Yang Tao and shouted: "What is the way to fight and die in battle." General Yang, I'm wrong, okay. Hurry up and save me, and I will definitely take credit for your work with General Zhang. ”
Yang Tao squinted his eyes, looked at it for a moment, and then said to himself: "Hundreds of brave and fearless old men are all dead. And you, who are greedy for life and afraid of death, are still alive until now, which is not fair. ”
When Ren Hua heard Yang Tao suddenly say this, he screamed in fright, if he hadn't fallen into the mud, he couldn't wait to kowtow on the spot. "General Yang, General Yang! I was really wrong, I don't know how many enemies suddenly went crazy at that time, and I was really frightened, I couldn't help it, General Yang was a lot, spare me this time. As he spoke, he faced the silent Jin soldiers who were onlookers and pleaded: "Brothers, everyone is doing well, for the sake of General Zhang, pull me along, and the great kindness will never be forgotten!" ”
There was still silence. After a moment, it was still Yang Tao who opened his mouth, "Do you know why everyone didn't make a sound?" Everyone wants to see how many shameless and despicable faces you can show up, but I don't want to look at it anymore, I don't want to look at your face for a moment! ”
Yang Tao suddenly became furious, snatched a spear from the soldier's hand, and stabbed straight into Ren Hua's right chest.
The soldiers, who had been silent, suddenly burst into various voices.
"Fuck you!"
"Righteous dog, yes!"
"You go and call your General Zhang to save you, Ang."
Ren Hua screamed miserably, crooked his eyebrows in pain, he cried loudly, his face was covered with snot and tears, and he said weakly after a while: "You are angry, you can save me now, right?" ”
Seeing him so ugly, the crowd even scolded with disdain. Yang Tao pulled out the handle of the gun neatly, and said coldly: "When you were attacked earlier, you ignored the whole army, neither warned nor rejected the enemy, but only cared about yourself and fled for your life first. At that moment, you should know that you are not the same traveler with us for a long time. ”
Yang Tao waved the tip of the blood-dripping spear, and everyone was about to leave. Ren Hua only felt boundless fear and despair coming, and couldn't help crying out loudly, "Don't, don't!" If Lao Tzu can go back alive, he will definitely ask General Zhang to kill you all and feed the dogs! Don't go, help me! He was so mad that he began to struggle and writhe desperately, but a large amount of blood gushed out of the wound and accelerated the sinking of his body.
Yang Tao stopped, spat disdainfully, and looked back, Ren Hua only had a pair of eyes exposed on the quagmire. In those eyes, there was a dark death, mixed with hatred, despair, and fear. After a while, Ren Hua sank all, a few bubbles rose in the quagmire, and everything fell silent, as if nothing had come.
Everyone walked silently for a while, and Yang Tao suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen General Ren?" ”
Among the soldiers were the smarter, and when they said, "After General Ren escaped from the battle, we haven't seen him again." ”
So the rest of the people reacted and responded one after another. Yang Tao said again: "If it's not that I'm ruthless and kill my colleagues, it's really not enough to kill this thief, it's not enough to calm the anger of the public and reward the loyal soul." The Jin soldiers cursed and swore again, saying that General Yang was relieved that nothing had happened.
Yang Tao nodded, "Where is this place?" The pathfinder stepped forward and said: "Looking north, we can enter the territory of Longxi if we don't walk for more than forty miles, and we can choose a small road to walk to avoid ears and eyes." ”
An extra inch to the north will give you more peace of mind. Yang Tao looked around at his subordinates, said a few words of encouragement, and greeted: "Let's go!" ”
The sky began to shine a little, and the earth and distant mountains seemed darker. Thick black clouds pressed low overhead, still breathless. After a night of cold rain, it finally stopped, but it turned into a lingering mist, enveloping people and making people shiver. A lone eagle, as if angry at the heavy sky, struck down from the sky with its flat wings, almost touching the distant horizon, and fluttered its wings again, making a violent sound, and rose up with a clear bark.
