Chapter 63: The Demon of the Night

(a)

It's really nothing. In addition to Wei Changfeng's camp tent, the guards are gone, the soldiers are gone, the other camp tents are gone, everything, weapons and military funds, etc., everything is gone.

Wei Changfeng broke out in a cold sweat.

What's going on here? He subconsciously reached out to touch his waist, and as soon as his hand moved, he immediately remembered that his sword and armor were gone.

Behind him, there was a leisurely sigh.

Wei Changfeng turned around violently, only to see a woman in white standing far away from him, the moonlight was hazy, and he couldn't see the woman's face clearly, only a long black hair fluttering.

Wei Changfeng shouted and asked, "Who are you?!" In the middle of the night, what is it here? Where did the Han army go? ”

The woman chuckled and asked, "Who are you?" In the middle of the night, what is it here? Where is the Han army, how can I know the way? Although her words were sharp, her tone was very gentle, like coaxing a child.

Wei Changfeng saw that this woman didn't have the slightest intention of panicking, and he was stunned in his heart, secretly thinking that this barren mountain and wild ridge couldn't be some kind of fox who became a spirit to harm people here, right? It's just that if this woman is a goblin, its evil magic is powerful enough, and it can quietly get all the Han soldiers to go nowhere, he took two steps to the side, wanting to see if there is a tail behind the woman, although he also knows that this is just folklore, but now this situation is too weird, and he can only believe it.

The woman saw that Wei Changfeng seemed to be looking at her body, and she had no shyness at all, so she turned around slightly, her long hair rose lightly with her body, like a fairy in the moon, and chuckled: "What, what do you see?" ”

Wei Changfeng snorted and said, "Are you a human or a demon?" ”

The woman chuckled again, but there was a lot of sadness in her laughter: "If I am a demon, why am I here? My name is Hua Ruyu, I fled here with my parents, unfortunately my parents were killed by robbers, and I am a weak woman who can't bury the second elder, so I look around to see if anyone can help me. ”

Wei Changfeng only found out at this time that the woman's white clothes were stained with blood and sludge, and it seemed that she had suffered a lot, and she felt great pity in her heart, although it was really strange that all the Han troops had disappeared now, but the woman in front of her must also be rescued immediately, so he had to nod and say: "In this way, I can help you." Where are the bodies of your parents now? ”

Hua Ruyu pointed forward: "It's not far ahead." ”

Wei Changfeng heard that the woman's tone was still soft and flat, and he secretly wondered in his heart, he didn't know why a woman could be so calm in this catastrophe, and followed the woman at the moment, and after walking less than half a mile, the woman pointed to the side and said, "It's there." ”

Wei Changfeng looked to the side and saw two old men lying on the ground, apparently a husband and wife, with several sword wounds on their bodies. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that we don't have shovels and hoes, so we can only pick up some stones to build a grave." ”

Hua Ruyu said: "Where are there so many stones around here? I have a spade, but I can't move it. ”

Wei Changfeng saw that there was a shovel thrown next to him, and at this time he was duty-bound, he picked up the shovel and dug it vigorously, but fortunately, the ground was soaked with water vapor, and it was very easy to dig, and he had dug a large enough pit in a short time. Wei Changfeng gasped a few times, wiped his sweat, and leaned over to hug the bodies of the two old men.

Wei Changfeng picked up the man's corpse first, thinking that Hua Ruyu might cry a few times, and even came up to snatch the corpse and refused to let him bury it, but saw that Hua Ruyu was watching quietly on the side, not moving, her posture has been maintained for a while, this is the case when self-defense Changfeng dug the pit, and now Wei Changfeng picks up her father's body to bury it, it is still the case.

Wei Changfeng was unhappy in his heart, thinking to himself how could his daughter be so ruthless, but now he couldn't say anything in this situation, and immediately held the man's body and put it in the pit, seeing that the corpse had a deep knife wound on the chest, and the wounds were already black, his heart suddenly moved, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the corpse fell straight into the pit.

Hua Ruyu saw that Wei Changfeng had thrown his father's body into the pit by mistake, and frowned slightly, but did not say anything.

Wei Changfeng had something to say, he looked directly at Hua Ruyu and asked, "Are these two really your parents?" ”

Hua Ruyu sighed lightly: "How can I bury other people's parents?" ”

Wei Changfeng ignored the condemnation in Hua Ruyu's words, and his tone became stern: "You said that you and your parents met a robber here, but, looking at the wound, this injury has been half a month, if your parents died half a month ago, why did it take so long for you to think of burying it?" If your parents weren't dead at the time, why are you still here for help after all this time? Who are you? ”

Hua Ruyu shook her head and said, "This general, why do you have so many questions?" It's been a while since my parents died, but it's been deserted, and who do I turn to for help? She raised her face slightly, and in the moonlight, she saw that her face was like jade, her skin was picturesque, and she was actually a very beautiful woman, but at this moment, there were already tears on her face: "People say that although the Emperor Ziying is young, he is also a Ming monarch, but in the Ming Dynasty, what is the cause of the people to be in chaos, and the people are not happy?" Why are my parents still killed by robbers under the rule of Ming Jun, but no one pays attention? I think it's better to be Emperor Guangwu, although it's still very chaotic, but after all, Emperor Guangwu has just leveled the world, and we ordinary people can be regarded as having a hope. ”

Wei Changfeng listened to this woman's words, his hands and feet were weak in shock, and his heart was beating wildly!

(2) What a hell! This is not a scolding, yes, yes, it's true, it's a hell of a fake! Listening to Hua Ruyu's statement, her parents died in the era of Emperor Ziying's reign, who was Emperor Ziying? That was the last emperor of the Western Han Dynasty!

Ruziying is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and the son of Liu Xian, the Marquis of Guangqi. After Wang Mang poisoned Emperor Ping, he saw that the time was not ripe for usurpation, and in the first year of Ju Se, Bingyin Chun supported Liu Ying, who was only two years old, as the emperor. Soon, Wang Mang proclaimed himself a "false emperor", that is, acting emperor. Two years later, Wang Mang openly usurped the Han Dynasty as emperor, changed the name of the country to "Xin", and abolished the emperor Liu Ying as the Duke of Anding.

If this Hua Ruyu's parents died in the year of Emperor Ziying, that is, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and experienced Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty in the middle, and then the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, after Liu Xiu, there was Emperor Jianwu Zhongyuan, and after Jianwu Zhongyuan, it was the current Emperor Xianzong Xiaoming, how many years did there be? How can a person's body not decay for so many years? How could this flower like jade be alone in this wilderness for so many years?

"You, you ......" Wei Changfeng was speechless for a while, he himself felt his face turn pale, cold sweat broke out, and he couldn't help but retreat again and again.

Hua Ruyu looked at Wei Changfeng's expression and sighed lightly: "This general, I'm really sorry to make you frightened." The little girl and her parents exposed their bones for many years and no one buried them, it was really miserable, seeing that the general was righteous and awe-inspiring, and wanted to come to the general to send a kind heart, so I invited. It's a pity that ......" Speaking of this, Hua Ruyu's voice disappeared, her body slowly changed, her long hair dissipated in the wind like smoke, the white clothes on her body also drifted away with the wind one by one, and a dry bone slowly fell down and fell in front of Wei Changfeng's eyes.

Wei Changfeng hurriedly put the shovel in front of him to protect him, and suddenly the black fog rose in all directions, and in a blink of an eye, Wei Changfeng's eyes were already pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. Wei Changfeng sent the shovel forward in his hand, intending to find out if there was anything in front of him, but he heard a painful cry of "sigh" in front of him.

Wei Changfeng opened his eyes violently, only to see the tent curtain raised, the sun shining directly into the tent, dazzling, a soldier bowed his body and covered his stomach and stood in front of him, seeing Wei Changfeng's eyes open, he hurriedly shouted: "Wei Dutong, it's me, it's me, didn't you let the two of us stand guard for you last night?" When the day dawns, I will call you, not to assassinate! ”

Wei Changfeng felt a faint pain in his hand, looking at the guard holding his stomach, thinking that he just waved his fist in his dream, this punch hit the guard's stomach, it seems that the strength of this punch is not small, he apologized, hurriedly turned over and got up, before he wanted to apologize, his hand pressed in the futon, but pressed a hard thing. His face changed color when he touched it, and he first reached out and pinched his arm, and then waved the soldier out of the tent.

Wei Changfeng changed his mind at this moment? Because he touched the handle of a shovel!

The guard waited in front of the tent for a long time, and Wei Changfeng came out of the tent, to the guard's surprise, Wei Changfeng was actually holding a shovel full of rust spots in his hand, and the two soldiers looked at each other, muttering in their hearts, I really don't know why this Lord Du Tong is sleeping in the tent with a shovel, and he has to take it out.

Bai Qi was also a little dizzy.

He got up early, sorted out the team, and ordered the whole army to set off, out of the woods, ready to attack Xingcheng directly, and when he was complacent, Wei Changfeng asked someone to bring a message, saying that he had something important to do, and he had to go first, and he would join the team in front.

Bai Qi thought for a while that he was drinking tea with Wei Changfeng in the teahouse in Xingcheng. If you don't drink tea in a teahouse, how can you explain the words "there is something important, you have to go first"? The whole army is about to attack, and in the mountains and forests, Wei Dutong has to take a step in advance? What are you going to do? Visiting relatives or friends? Or there is a reclusive master in the woods in front of him, and Wei Dutong has seen thousands of miles and has long known the way, so he took a step forward to drink tea and chat with this master?

But in any case, after Bai Qi heard this report, he just let out an "oh".

He trusted Wei Changfeng, at least, Wei Changfeng would not be a person visiting relatives and friends in such a place at such a time, if Wei Changfeng had such a strange behavior, then there must be a reason for him, and afterwards, he would definitely be explained.

"Let's go!" Bai Qi gave an order, and the whole army walked forward, they wanted to attack Xingcheng directly from behind Xingcheng, cooperate with General Fang, take Xingcheng in one fell swoop, and cut off the return of the Donghu army, but I don't know if General Lu Dao Fang passed the dense forest as scheduled? If there is any delay, this army will now be a lone army that has penetrated deep behind enemy lines and is isolated and helpless!
