Inside and outside the Tiger Head Pass, there was a brief silence.

He Renlong, the Qingyang garrison who was responsible for leading the troops to pursue Gao Yingxiang, and Luo Rucai, the vanguard officer of the Liang army, returned and climbed the city tower. They all heard the singing in the city, and the two of them didn't know what was going on, and then under Xing Zhongshan's explanation, both of them restrained their expressions and walked up to Xu Liang and whispered a few words of comfort.

He Huchen asked, "He Shoubei, Luo Xianxian, how is the situation in the city?" ”

He Shou shook his head uncontrollably and said, "The rebel army in the city has been completely cleared, and the south gate of Hutou Pass is also in the hands of our army. It's just that when the Hutou Pass was about to be broken, the rebel army set fire to the granary, although after the vigorous rescue of Luo Xianfeng and me, more than seventy percent of the grain stored in the pass was burned. ”

Luo Xianfeng said: "At present, the strength of our army is reduced, the available soldiers are less than 10,000, and there are more than 3,000 wounded soldiers. The baggage was all left outside the gate. The little food in the city could only last for four or five days at best. Moreover, there was a shortage of medicine in the city, and Gao Yingxiang was really lacking in morality, not only burning the granary, but also burning all the pharmacies in the city. ”

He Huchen groaned and said: "The tragedy of this battle has exceeded my expectations, and the top priority at the moment is to strengthen the city defense, treat the wounded, and try to send people back for help...... Uh, Master Xu, what are you going to do? ”

He Huchen was still talking, but when he saw Xu Liang standing up silently and walking towards the outside of the city tower, he couldn't help asking.

Xu Liang paused and said, "You guys are discussing, I'll go outside." ”

Out of the city tower, Xu Liang came to the direction where he climbed the city tower and looked at the city in a daze.

The Ming army defending the city bowed and saluted Xu Liang. In the first battle of Hutou Pass, Xu Liang personally led 400 Liang troops out of the city. In the face of the rebels, Shun helped 3,000 wounded soldiers enter the city. The four hundred Liang troops who went out of the city were all killed, and even the second lady Dai Yingying was sacrificed. This kind of action, the whole city soldiers in the eyes of the eyes, in the heart, only this move, Xu Liang won the respect of the majority of Ming soldiers.

Xu Liang looked at the city, and suddenly said softly: "I want to carry the second lady into the city, who will help me?" ”

There was a sound of armor behind Xu Liang, and several Ming soldiers said in unison: "The little one is willing." ”

The four Tsing Yi guards who followed behind Xu Liang stepped forward and said, "My lord, we think we have some skills. We are willing to go down and bring the third lady back. ”

Xu Liang looked at them, nodded, and said, "Okay, you are all very good." ”

The Ming army found a rope and put down the city, and the two Tsing Yi guards slid down the rope into the city, carefully walked to the place where Dai Yingying fell, spread out a large tarpaulin, and carefully placed Dai Yingying's body. Wrap tightly and tie it to a rope......

Xu Liang and the Ming army on the city wall both held their breath and watched quietly, the archers holding their bows and arrows. Pay attention to the direction of the rebels.

In the distance, in the rebel army. Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi on the yellow carriage, also discovered the intentions of the Ming army. Zhu Zijian sighed: "I can't imagine that Xu Liang is still such a person who values love and righteousness, alas." It's just a pity that his ability can't be used by this king. ”

Huang Ziren's eyes were fixed on the two sections of rope hanging down from the Tiger Head Pass. He said expressionlessly: "If the prince is not satisfied, the last general can shoot the two Tsing Yi people to death under the city with one arrow." ”

Zhu Zijian and Ye Yanqing both looked at Huang Ziren in surprise.

Zhu Zijian asked in surprise: "This king remembers that General Huang and Xu Liang were originally brothers and sisters?" ”

Huang Ziren said coldly: "Now we are enemies of life and death. Treat the enemy. The last general will never be merciful. ”

Zhu Zijian was very satisfied when he heard this, looked at Huang Ziren and nodded repeatedly, then shook his head, and said, "This king appreciates General Huang's attitude towards the enemy. It's just that Xu Liang must be the commander of the Liang army, and he knows both Ping Liang and is an enemy that this king values very much. In dealing with such an enemy, the due respect should still be given. ”

Huang Ziren listened, lowered his eyelids, and loosened his hand on the bowstring.

Under the watchful eyes of 50,000 rebel troops, Dai Yingying's body was sent smoothly into the Hutou Pass. From the beginning to the end, the rebels did not fire a single arrow.

Ye Yanqing chuckled and asked Huang Ziren: "This general is only good at General Huang's swordsmanship, and he doesn't think that his archery is even more like a god, but I don't know where General Huang's arrow master is?" ”

Huang Ziren glanced at Ye Yanqing and said indifferently: "I have a warrior under me, known as a marksman who wears through Yang in a hundred steps. He taught me all archery. ”

Ye Yanqing knew which one Huang Ziren was talking about, and sighed lightly.

Zhu Zijian listened to the conversation between the two of them completely, and he was very interested in the marksman, and said with great interest: "General Huang actually has such talents?" Bring it out quickly, and show it to the king, this king has a lot of rewards! ”

Huang Ziren listened, his face twitched, and he said, "He can't come." ”

"Why is that?" Zhu Zijian asked curiously: "Could it be that this king does not have enough face?" ”

Huang Ziren was silent and did not speak. Ye Yanqing chuckled, approached Zhu Zijian, and said, "Lord Wang, this marksman under General Huang, he really can't come." Long before the incident, this person was beheaded by Xu Liang. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Zijian screamed in surprise, and said again and again: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

In a clean house in Hutou Pass, the dead Dai Yingying has been cleaned, changed into her favorite clothes, and at a glance, it seems to be sleeping, but this kind of sleep, once she sleeps, she will not wake up again. The simple knife she was accustomed to carrying with her was placed beside her.

The house was large and extremely clean. However, there was only Xu Liang inside. Xing Zhongshan and Luo Rucai, as well as those close Tsing Yi guards, were all driven outside the house by Xu Liang. Everyone was anxious in the dark, but there was nothing they could do.

Xu Liang squatted in front of Dai Yingying, carefully looked at Dai Yingying's pale face, and looked at it in a daze. He remembered bits and pieces with her, many things.

The captain of the guard in Jianchang County who was forced to sign the three-month period, the attack under the Zhenru Temple in Yunju Mountain, the thousand-mile escort to Zhenyuan, Shaanxi, the teacher of the Dai family's sword method, the strong woman who dared to go to the capital to rob the law field for him, the second lady of the Xu Mansion who married at the same time as Lou Xian'er, and the person who sacrificed his life to block arrows for him before the tiger head pass......

Xu Liang thought a lot and recalled a lot. The deeper and more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. Xu Liang was ashamed to find that Xu Liang had always boasted that he was in a high position, had good martial arts, and had tens of thousands of soldiers under him, so he should be the strongest person, but in the end, he found that she was silently and without regrets by his side.

As for Xu Liang, before Dai Yingying died, she didn't even figure out whether she was crying or laughing!

Tears are raining down, long songs should be crying!

Xing Zhongshan outside the house, Luo Rucai, the two generals of the Liang army, listened to Xu Liang's whimpering voice in the house, worried, and wanted to go in to finish a few words of comfort, but found that the two of them were stupid and had no way to persuade them. At this time, the two of them invariably thought of Luo Baiguan, the head of the Liang Army who was far away in Pingliang, and thought to themselves that although this person was a little motherly, his kung fu was definitely many times stronger than himself, and if Luo Baiguan was here, he would not be so helpless.

Xing Zhongshan and Luo Rucai were entangled outside the house, and wanted to push the door in several times to see what was going on, but their hands hit the door frame several times and shrank back.

After a few hours of confusion, the door to the house suddenly opened.

Xing Zhongshan and Luo Rucai immediately stood up straight, put on the strictest expression, looked at Xu Liang intently, wanted to say something, but couldn't remember what to say, and their faces turned red for a while, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Xu Liang looked at the faces of the two as if their faces had changed, red for a while and white for a while, and he couldn't figure out what the two were thinking, he pointed to the house and said lightly: "Burn it." ”

"Yes!" The two of them responded loudly in unison, and suddenly remembered that something was wrong, and couldn't help but be shocked, "Huh? What do you say, my lord? ”

Xu Liang glanced at the two of them and said again: "It's burned." ”

Xing Zhongshan and Luo Rucai widened their eyes and asked, "My lord, don't you take the second lady back to Pingliang?" ”

Xu Liang paused, looked back at the house reluctantly, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "It's burned, so I can take her home." ”

The firewood was soon ready, and the guards put Dai Yingying in and bowed in unison to say their final goodbyes to the head of the Tsing Yi guard's garrison. Few people know that Dai Yingying is also the head of the Tsing Yi Guard Garrison, Tsing Yi Wei has four major departments, the Detective Office, the Garrison Office, the Archives Office and the Gunpowder Office, and the other three stalls are known to everyone in the Tsing Yi Guard, but only the head of the guard is the most mysterious, and I didn't think it would be Dai Yingying, the second lady of the Xu Mansion.

The fire started, and the green smoke rushed straight up to the clouds.

Xu Liang, Xing Zhongshan, Luo Rucai and the other three stood in front of the fire, silent, and the fire shone on the faces of the three people, flickering bright and dark.

An urgent report broke the silence.

"Report, Lord Xu, Gao Yingxiang led an army of 30,000 around the south gate of Hutou Pass, General He asks you to go to the meeting quickly." (To be continued......)
