Chapter 18: Revenge
Ni Xiaojun waited at the foot of Baiyan Peak with a group of teenage children for seven days, and the dry food he brought during this period was almost eaten. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info at this time he hesitated left and right, not knowing what to do. When he first went down the mountain, Han Qi had told him that after taking these people to a safe place, he would leave a code, as little as one or two days, or as many as three or five days, and the follow-up people would find them according to the code left. However, seven days have passed now, and no one has come to find him, and the rations have not been enough since the day before yesterday, which is still he consciously saving some food, so he can barely survive to this day.
Dozens of children looked at him with blank eyes, or more accurately at the food behind him, that is, he was angry, otherwise it was estimated that someone would really be hungry and rush up. But it's not a way to be so hungry, these children are growing up in the bandit den when they are growing up, and they are really hungry, and it is possible to beat him with a stick. After all, he was only one person.
"Master Jun, didn't the peak master say that we should train with you, why have we been waiting here for so many days, the dry food is almost exhausted, and there is no movement, what is going on?" One of the boys with long faces and big ears opened his mouth to ask.
After getting along for the past few days, Ni Xiaojun also knows that this kid named Yuan Monkey is the spokesperson of this group of people, not that they gang up, maybe this kid had a certain prestige in the mountains before. It came so naturally that everyone couldn't help but look at him.
For this kid, Ni Xiaojun still has a certain affection, and he can see that he is a clever person. "Wait for two more days, if not, you will draw lots to decide, and find two people to go back with me."
"We'll have to wait two days, and we'll starve to death if we wait any longer." It's not just who complained first, and the crowd exploded in an instant, and everyone shouted hungry.
"One by one, they are starving to death and reincarnated, who said they were going to starve to death just now, stand up for me, and show me if you die." Yuan Monkey scolded everyone loudly: "Didn't you see that the military master and we all eat the same, you are still embarrassed to complain about hunger, and I can endure hunger." ”
These half-sized children closed the most in an instant. Yuan Monkey turned his head and smiled at Ni Xiaojun: "Master Jun, the kid thinks so, it's nothing for us to wait for two more days, I'm afraid that after two days, the brothers will be hungry and can't walk, in case something happens in the mountains, whether we escape or return, we will be passive." ”
Ni Xiaojun thought about what the young man said seriously, and felt that there was indeed a certain amount of truth, and after a little hesitation, he agreed and said: "What you kid said is reasonable, so let's eat all the dry food today, you kid and I will go up the mountain to see what the situation is, and then decide what we should do next." ”
It's just that there is only half a bag of spring cakes left, and there is not even one in each person's hand. As soon as they were distributed in their hands, in the blink of an eye, everyone's hands were empty, and some couldn't help but lick two bites in the palm of the cake. Ni Xiaojun couldn't help but scolded: "You kid, you think you're a bear, you can be full by licking your paws twice when you're hungry?" ”
"Take it, eat slowly, don't choke to death." Ni Xiaojun angrily threw away the remaining half of the cake in his hand.
It was estimated that when the two of them walked to the mountainside, the sky had completely darkened, so under the cover of the night, and then walked some mountain trails that no one cared about, even if there were enemy soldiers stationed in the mountain, it was not so easy to find them.
The two were careful all the way, but fortunately as expected, they were not discovered during the period. However, just as he was about to reach the top of the mountain, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps ahead. Fortunately, the two of them reacted quickly enough, and they fell to the ground in an instant, and the surrounding haystacks covered them well.
I could only hear the people walking in front of me: "My lord, what should we do now, just go back?" I wonder if I should inquire more clearly, after all, we haven't seen a single acquaintance. ”
Another said: "I still know people, and the people we know well are estimated to have already gone to the Netherworld." If the two of us are discovered, we are afraid that even those who run away may not outrun them in this mountain road. ”
"But I always feel that it's really ...... to just leave."
Before the person who spoke before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by another person: "What is it? Don't forget, our lives are not our own now, we still have to avenge those dead brothers, it's not worth sending our lives here. ”
Ni Xiaojun felt that one of the voices was slightly familiar, but he couldn't think of it for a while, just when the two of them were about to go away, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he stood up and said, "You guys....... You wait. ”
The two people in front were startled, and almost at the moment of turning, they pulled out the saber from their waists.
"Fang Dutong, I'..... I'm the mud army, the commander of the adult's own soldiers, do you remember me? Ni Xiaojun greeted him excitedly and said, "It's great that you are still alive." ”
Fang Kui also recognized him at a glance and put the knife into the sheath. The two didn't have much friendship originally, but when they met under such circumstances, it was really emotional, but they didn't know how to talk about it.
Yuan Monkey stood up as if he was suddenly crazy when he saw Ni Xiaojun, and immediately felt the urge to escape. Fortunately, he only talked a few words, at least let him be sure that his life would not be in danger. Judging from the direction they came, these two people came down from the top of the mountain, and he couldn't help but speak: "Two military masters, what is the situation on the mountain, do you know?" ”
Ni Xiaojun only remembered at this time, and echoed: "That's right, the commander is on the mountain, why is Fang Dutong ......?"
Fang Kui was silent, but that seemed to have said it all.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Ni Xiaojun's emotions were slightly out of control and said: "How could the Lord Commander die in such a place. ”
"Just now the two of us went up the mountain, what we saw was a scorched earth in the mountain, and the garrison was all bandits, so the situation is already clear, this Baiyan Peak, just like our Tianqing Mansion, has been occupied by bandits."
"I don't believe it either, I'm going to go back and see." Yuan Monkey said that he was about to move forward. There were his parents in the mountains, and he couldn't do it anyway, regardless of their lives and deaths, and run for his life on his own.
Another person beside Fang Kui blocked Yuan Monkey's way. "If you want to die, I won't stop you, you will go again when we are far away." Fang Kui continued: "We can't die yet, so many brothers have died in Tianqing Mansion, and this revenge has not been avenged." Little brother, I can understand your feelings, if you just want to die, it's not too late to come back after accompanying us on a journey, if you want revenge, don't look back. ”
......
The first seven are said to be the day when the soul of the deceased returns home, and at this time, in the main hall of Baiyan Peak, the incense burner and tablet have been arranged, but there is a group of people standing below. These people were all dressed in armor, their faces were sad, and there was a look of despair in their eyes.
"How's the discussion going, there must be someone among us who can call the shots. Otherwise, how will the revenge of the ruler be avenged, and what will everyone do in the future? You must know that although the troops at the front have withdrawn, everyone knows that no matter what the reason is, it is temporary, and no one will not put the meat in their mouths and not eat it. ”
"Hmph, you Liu Lao Er want to be this leader? I don't know what others think, but I don't agree. Another fierce-looking man in the crowd continued: "Don't fight, you can say who is the leader, but it is not easy to convince the public." ”
Everyone was silent, Lin Fei and Bai Peony stood aside, they didn't want to participate in their argument, and they didn't have the qualifications to participate. Bai Yanfeng is completely broken, except for the hundreds of people who are imprisoned in the prison to exterminate Wu Feng's captives, the old and weak women and children in the mountains don't even have a child over ten years old, how can they fight with these hundreds of soldiers.
"Yes, it is necessary to be able to convince the public, all the brothers are here today, I will make it clear, I, Liu Lao Er, want to be the leader, not for anything else, just to be able to take all the brothers to eat. Another point is to find the murderer and avenge the Commander. ”
"That's to the point, if you want to be the leader of everyone, you can, as long as anyone avenges the leader, my old bear will be the first to obey him."
Lin Fei could see that there were more than 100 people inside and outside the courtyard of this group of people, but only the three men who were speaking at this time were qualified to be the leaders. It can be seen from the attire that these three people must hold military positions in Han Qi's army, but the positions should not be too high. If it was like Fang Kui, a capital or something like that, and it was under Han Qi, there would be no such argument.
Three bowls of clear water were served in front of Han Qi's tablet, and the three of them stepped forward, pulled out a short blade from their waists in turn, cut their fingers, and dropped a drop of blood in each bowl.
Lin Laoqi took the lead in raising the porcelain bowl in his hand and said: "Brothers, today the three of us will solemnly swear on behalf of you here, whoever can catch the real murderer is the great benefactor of our brothers, and all brothers will only look forward to him in the future. ”
The three of them drank it all, and then the person below handed over a portrait. Liu Lao Er took it in his hand and said: "This person is the enemy of our can't wait for the sky, the three personal guards who led the lord at that time all saw his appearance, but the situation in the mountains was too chaotic at that time, and there was his bandit cover, so he escaped." ”
Bai Peony looked at the portrait of Liu Lao in a daze, with deep killing intent in his eyes. Lin Fei shook his hand lightly, any language is pale at this time, after all, it is not your father who died, and you can't feel the pain of others.
