Li Fengyun stood on the canal embankment, white fluttering, white flying, and magnificent.
On the boat, Zhai Rang, Wang Ruxin and Xu Shichang stood on the deck, looking at Li Fengyun's tall and straight back, with mixed feelings. This is goodbye, and the possibility of seeing you again alive is very small. Thinking about getting along with each other these days, thinking about the things that have happened in these days, I can't help but feel emotional, some are relaxed, some admire, some are guilty, and some are melancholy and worried.
Li Fengyun mysteriously appeared in the life of the Wagang people, and left mysteriously, leaving the Wagang people with an indelible impression in their hearts, which is as mysterious as a fog. Where did he come from? Where will it go?
Li Fengyun hugged his fists at the big boat as a salute, and he was also emotional. The distance between reality and imagination was so great that he didn't expect it. Zhai Rang and the Wagang people did not dare to raise the flag to rebel for the first time in the world, is there some inevitable connection with their final defeat? Now that he is rebelling without hesitation, is he the first person to raise the flag in Middle-earth, leaving a name in history? As for success or failure, there is no need to think about it, what you are pursuing is just the process, what you need is just a passionate life, whether life is short or long, you don't care, you just do whatever you want, and go to the end of your life heartily.
Li Fengyun turned and left.
Eighteen dead men followed him and followed him into the darkness, into a killing world where there was neither hope nor sunlight.
Walking down the embankment and turning into a country road, Li Fengyun stopped.
Eighteen black-clothed dead soldiers were lined up on the left and right, orderly and well-trained.
Li Fengyun looked indifferent, untied the white coat, and wrapped it slowly and methodically on the handle of the long knife. The blade of the long knife had been covered with skin, and now the handle of the knife was wrapped in white wood, and it was difficult to tell from the appearance that it was a heavy soldier. After the big bag was untied, a bulging big leather bag appeared behind Li Fengyun. The 18 dead men also carried the same leather sacks, which contained dry food, clothing, clothing, and other items for the purpose of traveling.
"How many ways do you go to Mangdang Mountain?"
Li Fengyun held a long knife in his hand, looked at a middle-aged man standing beside him, and asked in a low voice.
The middle-aged man is about thirty years old, with a vigorous body and a calm temperament, an angular face full of personality, and a pair of cold and frozen but melancholy eyes. This person is from the Lihu Xu family, with Xu as his surname and Thirteen as his name, he is obviously an incognito guy, a dead man raised by the Xu family. When Xu Shiji introduced him to Li Fengyun, he did not reveal any secrets of this person, but his tone was quite respectful, and designated him as one of the eighteen dead soldiers, and he was Li Fengyun's person from then on.
"About eighty miles." Xu Shisan's tone was cold and concise.
Li Fengyun chucked slightly, and slowly looked at the dead soldiers. There are twelve people here from the Lihu Xu clan and six people from the Dongjun Zhai clan, and from this moment on, they will serve Li Fengyun and follow Li Fengyun to the death. This is their reward for the kindness of the Lord, a promise to the Lord, and a condition for winning a free body.
Li Fengyun did not raise any objections to the "arrangement" of Zhai Rang and Xu Shichang from beginning to end. This is the condition agreed between Zhai and Xu and Han Xiangguo, Li Fengyun participated in the rebellion as Zhai Rang's forces, and it will definitely not work alone, Zhai Rang will definitely give him some manpower, but this person has given it, whether he is absolutely loyal to Li Fengyun, whether he will always follow Li Fengyun without abandoning his promise, then it is not under their control, only Li Fengyun himself.
Li Fengyun looked up at the starry night sky and asked, "Can you arrive before dawn?" ”
Xu Shisan didn't speak, but the look in his eyes gave an impossible answer very clearly. Carrying dozens of pounds of things on his back, he ran wildly for more than 80 miles without resting, except for the strongest soldiers in the Weifu Army, who were respected as sharp soldiers, it was impossible for ordinary people to do it.
"We'll be there before dawn." Li Fengyun was full of confidence, and his tone was firm, "Go!" ”
Li Fengyun didn't speak anymore, took a long knife, carried a heavy leather bag on his back, and took the lead in running forward.
The dead men looked at each other with different expressions, but there was suspicion in their eyes. For this white-haired foreign prisoner, many people first saw him in the White Horse Prison, and they were deeply impressed by the strength of the white prisoner in the battle of escaping from prison that night. Later, this person re-entered White Horse City, hijacked and kidnapped the superintendent of the imperial history in broad daylight, and successfully rescued more than 100 lives of the Shan family, which is even more incredible, comparable to a legendary story. This time, he rushed to Mangdang Mountain overnight with eighteen dead soldiers, so what happened? From the fact that the old master solemnly made them swear allegiance to the white prisoners and gave them back their freedom, it can be inferred that the hardship of this mission may be that there is no life and death. It doesn't matter if you live or die, as long as you have fun.
Xu Shisan waved his hand at everyone, and followed Li Fengyun and ran wildly.
The crowd followed suit, rushing through the night.
This is the junction of Liang County and Qian County, and it is also an endless great plain. In the hazy moonlight, the group ran hard towards the east. Soon, Li Fengyun's "toughness" came out. He had a long knife in his hand, and his weight was greater than that of the eighteen dead soldiers, but he was far ahead of everyone. Gradually, the nineteen people were divided into three groups. Li Fengyun took the lead, initially hundreds of paces ahead of the others, and then disappeared into the night, if it weren't for the sound of horns every once in a while to guide the way, everyone would probably have been separated from him. Xu 13 and the six dead soldiers walked in the middle, because of the heavy load, they were panting and sweating profusely, although they could barely support it, they all felt unsustainable. The remaining eleven people dragged at the end, their feet staggered, their legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and they ran and stopped, but they were worried that they would fall too much, so they gritted their teeth and insisted on it, not daring to give up.
Li Fengyun ran to the Suishui River in one breath before he stopped, rested on the spot, and sounded the trumpet from time to time to guide.
After a long time, Xu 13 and the six dead soldiers rushed to the river. After running for more than 30 miles with heavy loads, the seven people were almost paralyzed from exhaustion. At this moment, Li Fengyun is definitely the strong in their hearts, and the strong represent authority, and the respect of the weak for the strong is actually obedience to authority.
After a long time, the remaining eleven dead men also rushed to the river with each other's support, and they were even more unbearable, and when they reached the embankment, they collapsed, and they had no strength to stand up.
Li Fengyun no longer rested, and took out the muddy from the leather bags of several dead soldiers and began to inflate. Xu 13 brought two people over to help. After that, the inflated mud is tied together to create a simple raft. It is then connected to the cable and pushed into the water. Under the gaze of everyone, Li Fengyun took the lead in swimming across the river. Soon, Li Fengyun and the raft disappeared from everyone's sight, and there was nothing to see except for the rope that continued to stretch into the river. However, the eighteen dead soldiers could clearly feel Li Fengyun who was chopping waves in the river, he was too strong, how could such an extraordinary person be a thing in the pool? Will following such a strong person change his fate? Perhaps, from this moment on, the long-lost hope in my heart will rekindle the starting spark.
No one spoke, everyone pondered in the deep darkness of the night, all with a hint of anticipation for the future in the hazy moonlight.
Suddenly, the sound of the trumpet came with the night wind. Li Fengyun arrived on the other side. Xu 13 gave an order, and several dead soldiers hurriedly pulled the rope and pulled the raft back. The four dead men who had already prepared tied their leather bags to the raft, then grabbed a corner of the raft and crossed the water.
After crossing the river, the group took a short break and continued on the road. Li Fengyun's "toughness" convinced the dead soldiers, and he established his authority in a short period of time, winning the respect of the dead soldiers, and then he began to "show" his affinity, no longer taking the lead, but walking with everyone, talking affectionately, introducing each other, and extending a helping hand to the tired, in order to win the favor of the other party. Both sides are actually eager to understand each other's ideas, so they are very tacit, and quickly get rid of each other's alienation and estrangement, and gradually get acquainted.
On the eve of dawn, Mangdang Mountain is faintly visible.
Mangdang Mountain is the only mountain group on the great plain of thousands of miles on both sides of the Tongji Canal, the flat land protrudes, undulating, such as the dragon leaping, although it is not high and steep, but the lonely peak stands tall, especially the steep pull, among which there are thirteen mountains that are scattered and abrupt, there are thirteen "fairy peaks" from ancient times to the present.
Mangdang Mountain is also a natural barrier from the Jianghuai River into the Central Plains, since ancient times it has been a battleground for soldiers, with a long history and abundant relics. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius traveled around the world and took refuge from the rain in Mangdang Mountain, leaving behind the monuments of Confucius Cliff. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once hid in the purple gas rock and revolted in Mangdang Mountain. King Chen Sheng's uprising failed, and after his death, he was buried at the foot of the South Mountain of the main peak of Mangdang Mountain. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao set up Captain Jin and General Qiu, excavated the tombs of King Liang of the Western Han Dynasty, and stole a total of 72 ships of treasures. Taoyuan Sanyi Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei brothers had failed to compete with Cao Cao for Xuzhou, and then Zhang Fei fled to Mangdang Mountain, built a village to claim the king, and fell into the grass for Kou, and its cottage still exists today.
When the dark curtain dispersed and the light descended on the earth, Li Fengyun and the eighteen dead soldiers walked into Mangdang Mountain.
Under the shade of the morning light, Mangdang Mountain is lush and picturesque. A middle-aged Confucian scholar in a white robe and a high crown quietly appeared in the "painting" and appeared in everyone's sight.
Xu 13 introduced to Li Fengyun that this middle-aged Confucian scholar's surname is Chen, his origin is unknown, and everyone calls him Mr. Three.
"Han Sang-kook's people?" Li Fengyun asked.
Xu Shisan shook his head, "It is said that this person was once a prisoner and died in Mangdang Mountain, because he was quite intelligent, he won the support of thieves in Mangdang Mountain, and often led the crowd to plunder waterways, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and gradually became famous. ”
Li Fengyun immediately understood that this was the thief leader of Mangdang Mountain, the head snake of the ground. Han Xiangguo's choice of the location of the rebellion in Mangdang Mountain is enough to prove that Han Xiangguo has a great friendship with this Mr. Chen San, and the mastermind and leader of this rebellion is this Mr. Chen San, not the notorious Lu Xingxing.
Li Fengyun motioned for Xu 13 and the dead to rest on the spot, and he walked alone to the Banshan Pavilion to greet Mr. Chen San.
