Chapter 69: Willingness is the driving force

"Eight~~Nine~~"

Ma Yue's tone was low, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and the butcher's knife put down by the executioner was raised high again.

"Stop!" Xu Chu shouted, but his head hung down weakly, and he said gloomily, "I wish to descend~~"

On the city tower, Xu Yuanwai was angry and anxious, and his eyes were white and fainted.

"Good!" Ma Yuesen said, "However, there is no evidence, and you need to submit your name!" ”

Xu Chu frowned and said, "What is a name for the name?" ”

Ma Yue said coldly: "Kill the Han army and break with the Han court." ”

Xu Chu said unhappily: "Where did the Han army come in a hurry? ”

Ma Yue stretched out his hand and pointed behind Xu Chu, and said coldly: "Isn't that over there." ”

Xu Chu's heart sank, and he turned back suddenly, only to see an army slowly opening on the horizon in the distance, numbering about hundreds of people.

Xu Chu sighed helplessly, and said to the 300 righteous warriors behind him: "If the son wants to raise but does not wait for the parent, it is the great sorrow of life." Today, it is said that the thief is really helpless, but Chu really can't bear that you are all traitors, and it is not tolerated by the court, but they can disperse, and the thieves will not be embarrassed. ”

The 300 volunteers did not move at all, and one of them said vigorously: "We will follow the commander to the death and never turn our backs!" ”

"We will follow the commander to the death, and never turn our backs!"

300 volunteers shouted in unison, and the atmosphere was blazing.

Since the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Rebellion, tens of thousands of Gepi thieves have committed crimes in Xiangcheng and Yingyang, and these 300 people have been following Xu Chu to stick to Xujiawu Fort and confront him. When the situation was at its most critical, the arrows in the fort were exhausted, and Xu Chu took the flying stone and hit the thief, but he did not dare to enter, and his image of martial arts had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Most of these volunteers came from poor backgrounds and had no access to learning, so they did not understand the principles of loyalty to the monarch and the country. For them, the ethereal Son of Heaven who is far away in the sky can neither give protection nor provide food, but Xu Chu is the patron saint of Xujiazhuang, if it were not for Xu Chu, Xujiazhuang would have been destroyed and killed.

These volunteers have only one object of allegiance in their hearts, and that is Xu Chu, not Han Ting.

Xu Chu showed a trace of amazement on his face, and sighed when he looked up to the sky: "That's it." ”

Raising his head again, Xu Chu's eyes were already cold, most of the people surnamed Qing Mu Ne were like this, once he made a decision, he would not change it easily, and he would not look forward and backward too much.

"Keng~~"

Xu Chu slowly pulled out the sword at his waist, and the cold flickering blade reflected his wooden expression, which was hideous. The sledgehammer had been broken, and the half of the hammer had been taken away by the wicked man, so Xu Chu abandoned the half of the iron handle and pulled out the sword as a weapon. There is no choice but to kill officials and rebel for the sake of his father's surname! A cold killing machine surged up from Xu Chu's eyes.

After a while, the 500 Han troops led by the Jiaxian Lieutenant had slowly driven to the north gate of Xiangcheng.

Jiaxian Lieutenant and Xu Chu are old acquaintances, and they have killed the enemy side by side when they fought against Gepo thieves together, and at this time, they were surprised to see Xu Chu leading 300 volunteers to confront hundreds of Han cavalry outside Xiangcheng. Seeing Xu Chu's hideous expression, he was very unkind, so he kept a heart, hid behind the Han army and asked, "Why is Zhong Kang here?" Which general is on the other side? Can Lord Chen be in the city? ”

The poor Jiaxian lieutenant was lured to Xiangcheng by Pei Yuanshao to send him to death, but he didn't know that Xiangcheng had fallen, and none of the big and small officials in the city had escaped. And the hundreds of elite cavalry of the Han army who confronted Xu Chu were not Han soldiers at all, but just a group of rogues wearing the armor of the Han army.

Xu Chu glanced at the Han army coldly, and did not answer, rode forward, drew the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Kill~~"

"Kill~~"

Behind Xu Chu, 300 volunteers raised their steel knives without hesitation and covered the Han army. The Han army was caught off guard, and the two were close to each other, and in just a moment, dozens of Han soldiers fell to the ground wailing, and then the Han army that reacted began to resist instinctively, and the two armies mixed together and began to scuffle.

Xu Chu rode his horse into the Han army's formation, rushed left and right, like a tiger into a flock, the Han army was clothed, only a moment of effort, his body, the war horse under his crotch was already stained with bloodstains, and the Han army who died under his sword was not to say that there were more than ten people. If Xu Chu had a sledgehammer in his hand, the casualties of the Han army would have been particularly heavy.

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw~~"

The county lieutenant of Jiaxian, who was hiding in the rear of the Han army, was killed by Xu Chu and was confused, although he didn't understand what was going on, but he instinctively smelled the danger, so he shouted, and turned around and fled. He had killed the enemy side by side with Xu Chu, and knew very well that Xu Chu and his three hundred righteous soldiers were powerful, and his five hundred county soldiers were by no means opponents, and they were afraid of dying in vain if they stayed.

And the hundreds of elite cavalry of the Han army on the opposite side made the county lieutenant of Jiaxian County particularly confused, Xu Chu killed the official and rebelled, and they actually saw death and did not save it! What is the rationale for this? But he didn't have the heart to explore these things, if he delayed for a while, he was afraid that he would die under Xu Chu's sword.

Under the order of the county lieutenant of Jiaxian, the resistance of the Han army instantly disintegrated and rushed towards the coming wolf.

Guan Hai and Zhou Cang's eyes were full of murderous energy, and they looked up at Ma Yue on the city tower, Ma Yue's eyes were cold, and he shook his head, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly put down the weapon that had been half-raised. However, I was puzzled in my heart, and I didn't know why the big boss was unusual, and he didn't kill the Han army?

Xu Chu was red-eyed, and was about to lead the crowd to chase and kill, Ma Yue shouted on the city tower: "Okay! ”

……

In the Yahou Hall of Xiangcheng County, Xu Yuanwai had already woken up, but he didn't eat or drink, and he didn't cooperate with Liu Yan to change the medicine, he just wanted to sit quietly and wait for death.

Ma Yue's figure suddenly appeared, waved his hand, Liu Yan, Zou Yuniang and several rogue Kou Yuguan retreated, and only Ma Yue and Xu Yuanwai were left in the room.

Ma Yue smiled faintly and said, "Why is this the case? ”

Xu Yuanwai's expression was indifferent, and he said, "But I want to die quickly." ”

Ma Yue said: "The law of the Han Dynasty, those who kill officials and rebels, wipe out the nine clans, and there is no escape!" Didn't you see that hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves in Yingchuan, Runan, and Nanyang counties had been killed by the imperial court? Now, Ling Lang has committed a capital crime, can the death of the outside of the staff be exchanged for the forgiveness of the imperial court? ”

Xu Yuanwai said: "The old man doesn't have such a son, and the Xu family doesn't have such disloyal and unfilial descendants. ”

Ma Yue said: "But the imperial court will not think so, this account will only be recorded on the head of your Xu family." ”

Xu Yuanwai was silent when he heard this, he knew that Ma Yue was not wrong, now it is said that Xu Chu and the eight hundred Liukou are in the same stream, killing officials and rebelling, and they have already committed the great crime of destroying the nine clans, how can the court spare it? Even though Xu Chu was coerced and unwilling, who could he complain to? It is expected that the Xu family will not be far from the period of defeat.

Ma Yue said: "The desire to die is admirable. However, are you really willing to be a thief for the rest of your life? Are you really willing to let the Xu family fall from now on? Are you really willing to take the infamy of rebellious ministers and thieves to go to the spring to meet the ancestors and ancestors? ”

The ancients valued the reputation the most, and no one wanted to bear the infamy of the rebellious ministers and thieves to see their ancestors, Ma Yue's words can be said to have hit the key point of Xu Yuanwai. Xu Yuanwai's color changed, and he scolded angrily: "Thief, puppet! It's already death, only one death, why do you still laugh at the old man? ”

Ma Yue frowned and said: "Except for a certain non-ridiculer, he really wants to point out a clear way." ”

Xu Yuanwai sneered: "What is the clear way?" That rebel son is willing to follow you, he is, what does it have to do with the old man!? ”

Ma Yue took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Carrying the infamy of a chaotic minister and thief to see his ancestors, he is not afraid of outsiders, what is there to be afraid of in the world?" Why not save your life and wait and see what happens? Looking at the general trend of the world, the decline of the Han dynasty will inevitably lead to chaos in the world within five years. Although he is a thief, he may not have the opportunity to turn over. ”

A hint of deep thought flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes, Ma Yue is hateful, and the Xu family has caused all the disasters that he has today! I can't wait to eat its flesh and eat its blood! But Ma Yue has a sentence that is very reasonable, Xu Chu's big mistake has been made, even if he can kill Ma Yue, it will be difficult to atone for his crimes, even if the Xu family's father and son are determined to die, they will no longer be able to get rid of the infamy of the Xu family's full of people and thieves.

……

Outside the door, Xu Chu knelt straight and upright under the stone steps, revealing inexplicable pain in the wood.

After a while, Ma Yue's figure appeared from inside the door and said to Xu Chu: "Xu Chu, you can enter." ”

Xu Chu's expression was relieved, and his majestic body crossed the horse leap, entered the house directly, and then closed the door heavily.

"Daddy! Daddy~~"

Xu Chu's earth-shattering cry suddenly sounded in the house, Ma Yue, who was standing solemnly outside the door, was taken aback, and hurriedly kicked open the closed door, only to see Xu Chu pressing the side of Xu Chu's neck with both hands, a large amount of blood was spilling out through Xu Chu's fingers, Xu Yuanwai's eyes gradually became scattered, his mouth moved, and he was confessing his last words to Xu Chu.

"My son, for my father soon abandoned the world, ashamed of the ancestors of the following ancestors of the spring Wow ~~ The big mistake has been made, and it is useless to complain about the heavens and people, but now the plan and watch the horse leap behavior, if you can get rid of the reputation of the rebel within five years, my son should do your best to assist him, if he is still a thief, then the cliff and the cape, swear to kill it! Remember, cut it~~"

Xu Yuanwai's voice gradually weakened, and finally he was no longer heard.

Xu Chumune's eyes revealed indescribable sadness and deep perseverance, and he suddenly cried: "Dad, children should remember the lesson, and dare not or forget it from time to time. ”

"Ho~~"

Xu Yuanwai finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes.

Ma Yue was worried in his heart, this old man is really stubborn, he thought he had been moved by him, but he didn't expect to have a will to die! However, such an old man is also particularly respectable, and only such a person can raise a son like Xu Chu! Just used such despicable means to force such a loyal old man to death, and forced his son to die for himself, is it too shameless to do it himself?

A trace of compassion flashed in Ma Yue's eyes, and then he regained his original coldness and perseverance, the husband is in the world, and he should do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and the woman's kindness will only leave endless disasters!

Xu Chu stopped his sorrow, turned to Ma Yuena, and said in a deep voice: "Chu~~ is willing to be driven." ”
