When the bright red morning sun rose and the distant mountains and wilderness were dyed red, five war horses stepped on the hill, it was Lu Yuting and Lu Kai and other four soldiers, they were surrounded and intercepted by five hundred cavalry led by Cao Pengxiang, fighting fiercely overnight, galloping for nearly a hundred miles, relying on the belief of survival and revenge, and finally fought out of the encirclement.

With a "plop", a soldier fell off his horse and fell to the ground for a long time without moving, Lu Yuting hurriedly took the war horse and said with difficulty, "Take a look, does it matter?" ”

Lu Kai wanted to get off the horse to take a look, but as soon as he raised his leg, he also fell off the horse with a "plop", they were all tired, and the muscles on their bodies were no longer under their control.

Lu Yuting got off the horse with difficulty, walked to the warrior who fell from the horse, knelt on the ground, turned over the warrior, and couldn't help but feel relieved, it turned out that the warrior was actually tired and sleepy, and fell asleep.

"Take a break for incense!" Lu Yuting ordered. Then he walked to a boulder, sat down, and took up the duties of a sentry.

The morning wind blew Lu Yuting's bloodstained robe, and the clothes on her body were already soaked with blood and sweat, wrapped around her body, but she didn't realize it.

Lu Kai glanced at Lu Yuting on the boulder, and sighed silently, he has been with Lu Zizhen for more than ten years, and he has always regarded Lu Zizhen as his father, now that Lu Zizhen is dead, there are only four comrades-in-arms who get along day and night, how can he not be sad? What makes him even more sad is that he doesn't know where he will go next, and when will he be able to take revenge?

Wisps of light smoke rose from the direction of the defense line of the Wujiang ferry, which could be seen dozens of miles away.

"It's the smoke of the army's early cooking!" Lu Yuting suddenly turned around, her eyes fell on Lu Kai, and said, "It must be that the Holy Lord's reinforcements have arrived, and they have consolidated the defense line!" Let's go around and go back. Explain everything to the generals who are leading the army, and avenge my father and them! ”

Lu Kai looked at the riverside and said tiredly: "Miss! This smoke may also have belonged to the rebels, who crossed the river to eat. ”

"It won't be a rebel!" Lu Yuting shook her head and said, "If the rebels cross the river." The president will drive straight into the river and will not stay by the river. And there are so many rebels that if it were them, it would never be only these smoke rising. ”

Another fighter said: "Miss! Even if it's the Holy Reinforcements arrived! Whether we will be able to get there safely is also unknown. Cao Pengxiang's 500 cavalry has been chasing us. And, even if we were able to get to the river, would they think we were deserters and kill us? ”

Lu Yuting looked at the riverside, her eyes gradually became firm, and she suddenly stood up. Resolutely said: "I have decided to go back." If you are willing to follow, I am grateful, and if you are not, I will not force you! ”

Lu Kai glanced at Lu Yuting, snapped his fists and said, "The last general swears to follow Miss to the death, go to the soup and go to the fire, and there is no second heart." ”

The other three warriors were dejected and silent.

Lu Kai became angry. He yelled at the three warriors, "Why don't you speak? Scared? ”

The heads of the three warriors were lowered even further, and no one spoke.

Lu Kai still wanted to get angry. But she was stopped by Lu Yuting, and she said softly: "Lu Kai, don't blame them." These days, too, they have been fighting bloodily, and they are all good brothers to us. Maybe they're tired now and don't want to live like this anymore! Never mind. As I said, I won't force everyone. ”

Lu Yuting's words made the three fighters even more ashamed, and the three of them knelt on the ground together, and one of them said in a trembling voice: "Miss! We are all veterans who have been with the general for more than five years. Mademoiselle knows us. We are definitely not greedy for life and afraid of death! We just ......"

"Just what?" Lu Kai asked angrily.

The soldier paused for a moment, then said, "We just don't feel worthwhile for the general." Our Yuanzhou army only has 5,000 people, but in the face of 300,000 rebels, we held out for six days. Many of the brothers are dead, but we have no complaints. As a soldier, he lived the days of a horse leather shroud. But he, Cao Shixun, was a hundred miles behind us, but he never sent a single soldier. It's so easy, looking forward to the reinforcements of the imperial court, he Cao Shixun actually sent people to besiege and kill us! The general is not in the hands of thieves, but in the hands of his own people! It gave us chills! ”

Lu Yuting said: "It is precisely because my father was killed by Cao Shixun, a dog thief, that I want to return to the river to expose his face and avenge my father and other brothers who died unjustly!" ”

The three warriors looked at each other, and one of them spoke again, "Miss! Cao Shixun is insidious and cunning, since he dares to do this, he has naturally planned it a long time ago. And he is in a high position, even if the young lady can meet the people from Jingshi, it is difficult to determine whether they believe in you or Cao Shixun! ”

Hearing this, Lu Yuting couldn't help but fall into deep thought, she had been thinking about quickly exposing Cao Shixun's insidious face, but she forgot that Cao Shixun is now a high-ranking official commanding tens of thousands of troops, and he is just a deserter, in the absence of evidence, why should people believe themselves?

Lu Yuting was still pondering, and suddenly Lu Kai's face changed, he jumped onto a boulder in three steps and two steps, pointed to the rear, and exclaimed: "It's not good, the chasing soldiers are coming!" ”

Everyone hurriedly stood up, got on their horses, looked into the distance, and saw more than ten horsemen under the hillside as if flying in, galloping closer and closer, led by a person in silver armor and red robe, holding a gold-backed big ring knife, and carrying an iron bow on his back.

Lu Kai exclaimed: "It's Cao Pengxiang who chased after him personally!" He's good at archery, so it's better to leave quickly! ”

One of the fighters shook his head again and again and said, "I can't run, I can't run!" ”

Another soldier said angrily: "He only has a dozen people, afraid that he is a bird?" He killed the general, just in time to kill him to avenge the general! ”

Lu Kai glanced at Lu Yuting, and then said to the three soldiers: "Don't talk nonsense, go quickly!" There are many of them, and they are waiting for work at ease, and at this time, the courage of the flesh and blood will not only fail to take revenge, but will give their lives in vain. You hurry up and protect the young lady and leave, I'll cut off the queen. ”

The three warriors said in unison: "We are too lazy to escape, general, you quickly escort the young lady away, we will break off!" ”

Lu Yuting choked and pulled out her twin swords and said, "Don't fight." I, Lu Yuting, would rather die in battle than leave my brothers to escape alone. We fled for most of the night, and the men and horses were exhausted, but they were full of energy, and there was no place to hide, and they couldn't escape if they wanted to. If you still have the strength to fight to the death, maybe there will be a chance. ”

Seeing that Lu Yuting had made a decision, the four of them also calmed down, each drew their weapons, and led the horses to both sides of Lu Yuting, forming a row. (To be continued......)
