Chapter 115: The True Goal
Qi Meifeng's silver spear made the bandits horrified again and demoralized. After all, the Qi family's army was very different in number from the bandits, and they did not dare to take the initiative to attack. As a result, there was a temporary lull on the battlefield, and both sides were gathering strength in preparation for the next round of confrontations.
Before you know it, night has covered the land. Fortunately, the snow had stopped at this time, and a bright moon hung high in the night sky. The bright and cold moonlight sprinkled the earth, making the white snow also exude a silver but not dazzling brilliance, as if this place was no longer the world, but the fairyland of the Moon Palace.
Only the shocking corpse in the snow, and the black blood stains around the corpse that had been frozen into ice mounds, still reminded both sides all the time: this is still a battlefield for killing! No one knows if in the next hour, or even the next second, will he be like these corpses, draining the last drop of blood on his body and sleeping here!
After nightfall, the temperature drops rapidly. Several bonfires had been lit in the car, and the soldiers sat around to keep warm, leaving only a few sentries to monitor the movements of the bandits all the time.
Zhu Youzhen and Qi Meifeng also sat around a bonfire to keep warm. The bonfire was burning vigorously, bursting out from time to time, which frightened Zhu Youzhen and withdrew his hands, and sometimes even jumped up.
Qi Meifeng smiled when she saw it: "Your Highness, after the spark bursts out, it is no longer hot, and it will be fine if it falls on your body." ”
Zhu Youzhen saw that the other soldiers were sitting steadily, so he jumped up and down in fright, suddenly felt embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly: "What, I'm a little too dry, get up and cool down, hehehehe." ”
Qi Meifeng saw that Zhu Youzhen wanted to save face, so she didn't break it, but just bit her lip and smiled softly. I couldn't help but remember that I was hugged by him just now, and then whispered close to my ear, and his rapid breathing sprayed on his face, feeling itchy.
Thinking of this, Qi Meifeng's ears turned red. Fortunately, everyone was red by the firelight, but no one paid attention.
"Why don't you say these bandits have retreated?" Zhu Youzhen said without words, "They already know that we are officers and soldiers, and so many people have died!" Could it be that they have taken a fancy to..."
"Your Highness!" Qi Meifeng saw Zhu Youzhen's thief eyes glancing at him, knowing that he must have nothing good to say, so she quickly interrupted him and said, "The last general is also puzzled!" It stands to reason that this bandit, like the businessman, has always refused to do business that loses money. Today, they sent so many people, and they refused to leave with such heavy casualties, I am afraid that there must be a plan. No matter what, the last general and the soldiers will definitely protect His Highness! ”
"Meifeng, thank you for your hard work!" Zhu Youzhen was moved to reach out and pat Qi Meifeng's shoulder.
Qi Meifeng thought that he was going to take advantage of himself again, so she hurriedly shrank back and dodged. How fast her movements were, Zhu Youzhen's palm slapped into the air, but he lost his balance without paying attention, and fell to the fire with a scream.
Qi Meifeng hurriedly stopped him by the waist and hugged him, so as to avoid the end of this goods being boiled. Rao is like this, Zhu Youzhen's hair is still being pulled a few strands. was so panicked that the two of them slapped and beat together, Qi Meifeng didn't pay attention, and slapped Zhu Youzhen's cheeks, making a crisp sound of "pop"!
The surrounding soldiers didn't pay attention at first, and only looked at Zhu Youzhen when they shouted, but they only saw Qi Meifeng giving Zhu Youzhen a slap, and they were all stupid on the spot!
"The end will be a death penalty!" Qi Meifeng hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
The surrounding soldiers thought that His Royal Highness King Xin wanted to belittle his main general, but the main general couldn't stand it anymore, so he couldn't bear it anymore and gave King Xin a slap in the face.
Although they were upset for Qi Meifeng in their hearts, they also knew that she had caused a big disaster, and they knelt down to plead for her: "Your Highness, be gracious!" Your Highness, be gracious! ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at the kneeling crowd, and said with a smile: "Which door do I open!" What a crime General Meifeng has! If she hadn't come to her rescue, this king would have been burned to a piece of charcoal by now! ”
Only then did everyone know that the scene just now was purely accidental, and at most it could only be regarded as flirting, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately turned away giggling, and no one looked any further.
Qi Meifeng saw from everyone's reactions that they had misunderstood again, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Zhu Youzhen hurriedly leaned over to pick her up, jokingly: "Meifeng, it's okay, it's okay!" Don't make a fuss, if it weren't for this slap you gave me, my hair would have burned out, so I had to become a monk. ”
Qi Meifeng was amused by him and smiled, but said guiltily: "Your Highness, the last general didn't hurt you, did he?" ”
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt!" The thing smiled facelessly, "You touch it, nothing happens!" ”
As he spoke, he used his hand to pull Qi Meifeng's hand, wanting Qi Meifeng to touch his cheek.
Qi Meifeng exclaimed, and hurriedly withdrew her hand and said, "Your Highness! A lot of people are watching! ”
Zhu Youzhen was happy in his heart, and he also temporarily threw the tension of being in danger out of the clouds.
At the same time, a few hundred paces away, a fierce dispute broke out in the camp of the bandits.
The second master's surname is Yan, nicknamed "Living Yama". He was the first to speak: "Big boss, we can't fight anymore!" You see, for a long time, hundreds of brothers were killed and wounded, but not even a single hair was hurt, and the brothers were not willing to die in vain! ”
Xiao Laodiao was also annoyed, and said angrily when he heard this: "Second child, you know a fart!" It is precisely because so many brothers have died that we cannot afford to retreat! Otherwise, wouldn't all the blood of the brethren be shed in vain?! ”
"Big boss, when you took over this business, my brother didn't agree with it, but he didn't dare to say it!" Another leader said, "This is not an ordinary business, it is an official army!" People are officials, we are thieves! If people don't come to suppress our cottage, we will burn high incense, why do we take the initiative to provoke others? It's good now, so many brothers have died, how can they explain to their wives and children when they go back? ”
"Confess the fart!" Xiao Laodiao scolded angrily, "It's still the same sentence, we all pin our heads to the waistband of our trousers to make a living, life and death are fateful, whoever hangs up can only blame themselves for bad luck!" Why, when I heard that there was a reward of 100,000 taels of silver, my eyes lit up, and I thought about how much I could share; Now that you're a little frustrated, you're complaining about Lao Tzu? Which of you didn't agree at the time?! ”
Seeing that Xiao Laodiao became more and more angry the more he spoke, several small leaders turned pale with fright, for fear that he would break out and hurt people, so they retreated one after another.
Seeing this, the Living Hades King hurriedly persuaded: "Big boss, what are you doing!" Everyone, this is respecting you, so I will discuss it with you! Who doesn't want to earn the silver of white flowers, the problem is that we don't have diamonds, and we can't do this porcelain work! The big boss, I think it's better to simply retreat, anyway, the 10,000 taels deposit is a lot, don't be too greedy! It's not that we didn't go out, and so many brothers died, so we have an explanation over there! ”
When he said this, the little leaders also nodded frequently, and they still vigorously persuaded Xiao Laodiao to stop.
Xiao Lao Diao saw that everyone had opinions about him, and his heart was also cold, secretly thinking that although these outlaws respected themselves as the masters on weekdays, they were harmonious on the surface, but they all had their own little Jiujiu inside. If they all oppose themselves, not only will they not be able to become the big boss, but they will also have to worry about their lives.
He rolled his eyes and saw that the living Hades were the backbone of these people, so he hurriedly pulled him aside and whispered, "I said the second child, why are you following them blindly?" Originally, I wanted to surprise you, but now I can't hide it, so I'll tell you: the reward is not 100,000 taels, but 200,000 taels! ”
"What!" The Living Hades were immediately moved and exclaimed.
"Be quiet, don't let anyone hear!" Xiao Laodiao said mysteriously, "The three monks have no water to eat, don't you understand this truth?" As long as we can catch or kill this person..."
As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his bosom and slowly unfolded it, revealing a vividly painted portrait.
"As long as you can kill him, everyone will divide 100,000 taels, and our brothers will divide the other 100,000 taels alone!" Xiao Lao Diao said to the living king bewildermently, "After taking the silver, let's wash our hands and dry it, find two overseas islands, one for each of us!" Build dozens of houses on it and marry a dozen or twenty wives! When the time comes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and no one can find us, wouldn't we be as happy as a fairy! ”
The living king looked at the portrait as if he were looking at a pile of gold and silver treasures, and his eyes lit up, and he wanted to swallow it in one gulp.
And the portrait that pretends to be serious but has a slightly confused look in his eyes is none other than Zhu Youzhen, the king of Damingxin!
There was a fierce ideological struggle in the heart of the Living Yama King, and he hesitated and said: "But the big boss, you have also seen that the officers and soldiers who protect him are too powerful, especially that girl!" How can we earn this money? ”
"Don't worry!" Xiao Laodiao said insidiously, "Isn't it dark?" In the second half of the night, while they were asleep, thousands of us quietly touched it, and then launched it together when we arrived! Even if that girl is covered in iron, how many nails can she stick? ”
The Living Yama King was finally moved by what he said, turned around and said loudly, "Brothers, the great master is right! Let's rest for a while now, and wait until the middle of the night, and then go and kill them without leaving a piece of armor! When the time comes, tie that little girl to a big rock first, so that you can have enough! ”
Those little bosses were originally led by the Living Hades, but when they saw that he was also in favor of continuing the fight, they had to shout: "We all listen to the big boss!" them to the end! ”
Xiao Lao Diao saw that the spirit of the bandits had improved a little, and he was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, don't shout!" Save some strength, prepare to apply, and rush with me to kill after the third watch! ”
At this time, Qi Meifeng was standing on the roof of a chariot, looking at the camp of the bandits. But it was getting darker and darker, and I couldn't see anything at all, except that there was a commotion over there, and then it fell silent again.
She frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "The enemy army will come to attack at night!" Pass the order down, and the whole army is on alert! ”
