The moon was like a hook, and the dim moonlight shone into the skylight, sprinkled on Wu Qing's blood-stained face, which looked particularly hideous, he wore his hair loosely, and his hair was also messy because of the blood coagulation, and suddenly he moved, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"What is this place?" Wu Qing took a look at the dim room, his hands were locked in iron hoops and hung up, his clothes were stripped off, only his pants remained, and the two whip marks on his chest hurt fiercely. Wu Qing spat on bloody phlegm, these grandsons!

At this moment, he couldn't help but regret his recklessness, he thought that his marksmanship was new, and it would be difficult to meet an opponent in such a small place. is also too confident in "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear", and even more so in his admiration for Zhao Yun, who led to the arrogance of this period of time, and ignored anyone who practiced martial arts. What is he now? Eat the consequences!

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and a member of the Yangtze River Gang walked in, and the room was suddenly lit with pine torches, and the whole room was clearly seen that this was a torture room! There are also a few cells that look like prisons next to them, separated by fences. Not far away, there were various torture instruments such as soldering irons, bamboo sticks, razors, and awls, and the floor of the entire torture room was dark red, which was obviously the color formed by the blood seeping into the adult months, and it was not known how many people were tortured to death in this torture room.

After a while, a noisy sound came from far and near, and Wu Qing saw that it was the people of the Yangtze River Gang who escorted Dong Xiaowan and the two hall masters, as well as the three gang members in.

Seeing Wu Qing being hanged, his cloak spreading, and the two shocking whip marks on his chest, Dong Xiaowan's eyes showed a trace of unbearability, but he didn't speak.

Several people were put in prison, and then locked, one looked at Wu Qing who was hanging, and when he saw Wu Qing looking at him, he took the leather whip soaked in the bucket, and said fiercely: "Tell you to see, tell you to kill my brother of the Yangtze River Gang, Lao Tzu's brother was stabbed to death by you with a shot, Lao Tzu killed you!" ”

"Smack!"

The leather whip was whipped on Wu Qing's body, and the skin opened in an instant, Wu Qing gritted his teeth and glared angrily. The whip had barbs on it, and the rolled flesh foam splashed on the man's face, and the man was stunned, threw away the whip, and scolded: "What are you doing staring at me, anyway, you will be sacrificed alive tomorrow, and it is none of my business if you die." ”

With that, he picked up the torch and hurried out with the men out, only to hear the sound of the door closing, and the whole room fell into silence and darkness.

"Hey, are you okay?"

A girl's voice, but no one answered the question.

"Hey, stinky boy, how are you?"

The girl asked again, but no one answered.

"Wu Qing, you stinky boy, can't you hear this girl ask you?"

Wu Qing took advantage of the dim moonlight, opened his eyes again, and vaguely saw the figure of the girl in the prison next to him, and after confirming that it was Dong Xiaowan, he said: "I will die tomorrow, what is there to say." ”

At this moment, Wu Qing is thinking deeply, or regretting it, he himself is too impulsive, he has always wanted to be low-key and cautious after wearing the Tang Dynasty, but he is easy to be swayed by love, if he obeys the queen of heaven, will it be like this? However, deep down, he can't do this, and in the end, he will be used like a dog by the queen of heaven, and after the queen of heaven achieves his goal, he will be discarded like garbage, criticized by the world, and abused by future generations. Wu Zetian's cool officials are real proof, and even her face doesn't seem to end well.

However, if there is no miracle now, then tomorrow's self will die, and I don't know how the old ghost Du and the Yangtze River Gang sacrificed themselves alive, thinking about it, it was a very cruel and extremely cold-blooded process, thinking about it, Wu Qing shuddered.

Dong Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, stinky boy, I hurt you!" ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment and said: "What does this have to do with you, this is what I asked for, and I deserve to die!" At this moment, Wu Qing began to hate himself a little.

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come to the Yangtze River Gang, and you wouldn't have been hated by the third child of the Du family." Dong Xiaowan said that her voice became smaller and smaller.

If you think about it like this, it is true, but it has happened, and nothing can be changed, not to mention that he can't do anything to Dong Xiaowan except for scolding. So he sighed and said: "The girl doesn't need to blame herself, if I weren't arrogant, I wouldn't have fallen into such a field, but it's a pity that my ambition in my chest has not been realized, and I can only have regrets in this life." Then he asked, "Do you know who the old ghost is?" Unexpectedly, he raised such an elite dead soldier, hidden deep in the bow and crossbow, and was extremely powerful! ”

Dong Xiaowan paused, and then said: "In fact, the old ghost Du is the boss of the two Huaiyan gangs, and the widow of Du Fuwei, who once ruled Jiangnan, after Du Fuwei was poisoned by the Li family in Beijing, the Du family who stayed in Jiangnan disappeared into the green forest, and later relied on the power of the old department in the Jiangnan army to unify the two Huaiyan gangs, those elite dead soldiers, I guess they are the descendants of the soldiers who were loyal to the Du family before." My Yangtze River Gang used to fight for the Huaishui River Transport and fought with the Salt Gang, but they didn't get a bargain, and in the end, the two cooperated before they gave up. I didn't expect that Yuan Bao to collude with the Salt Gang and harm my father. ”

It turns out that Du Fuwei was powerful in Jiangnan back then, and when Li Tang had not unified the whole country, he surrendered to Li Tang, which can only show that Du Fuwei did not have the ambition to be the emperor back then, but was poisoned by Li Tang in the end, which has to be sighed. In front of the imperial power, every qiē is a floating cloud.

Wu Qing comforted: "The girl doesn't have to be sad, if you want to come, the girl will definitely be able to go out." ”

At this time, another woman said: "Boy, I don't know what your identity is, but Xiao Wan is not the girl you think, tomorrow will be the same as you, she will be sacrificed alive, and us!" ”

"You guys?" Wu Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay, at least everyone is not lonely on Huangquan Road!" ”

"Stinky boy, aren't you afraid of death?" Dong Xiaowan asked.

Wu Qing stared at Dong Xiaowan, in the dim room, she couldn't see Dong Xiaowan's face clearly, but she could also hear that she was very confused at the moment, "Who in this world can not be afraid of death?" Can you survive just because you're afraid? Knowing that he will die, it is better to die in a dignified manner, and he can also have a reputation as a good man, so that future generations can know that there was once my Wuqing 'Breaking into the water village, seeing death as home, destroying thieves, and the heroic spirit will last forever! 'Hahaha. ”

Looking at Wu Qing, who looked like a madman, Dong Xiaowan smiled and said: "Stinky boy, you also have a bit of chivalry, no wonder people in the green forest call you 'Confucian Knight'!" ”

Zhu Fugui also sighed and said, "It's really a blessing for Zhu to see Gongzi so heroic today!" ”

A few people from the Yangtze River Gang also shouted hello.

When the first rays of sunlight sprinkled on the lake surface of Taohuawu Water Village, the horn of the bull horn sounded on the upper floor of the main village, low and majestic, completely breaking the quiet morning.

The women and children of the Yangtze River Gang hid in the room, not daring to come out, and yesterday they fought until midnight, which had already frightened these defenseless women and children.

On the streets of Shuizhai, the Yangtze River Gang carried countless white flags, carried more than ten coffins, sprinkled paper money, sang the Yangtze River Gang trumpet, and walked slowly towards the West Mountain, where the Yangtze River Gang leaders and gangers with identities were buried.

On the high hill of the West Mountain, the Yangtze River Gang built an altar overnight. Wu Qing was tied to a pillar, and on the opposite side was Dong Xiaowan. Next to them are the two hall masters and three gang members of the Yangtze River Gang, they are the helmsmen of the two halls, righteous people, and they did not surrender.

Wu Qing raised his head to face the rising sun, remembering that in his previous life, when he was a child, he often ran to the top of the mountain to watch the sun, watching the morning glow slowly dyed red, always thinking about what the end of the clouds would be, whether it was heaven or still clouds. He once asked his mother, and she said that it was heaven where gods lived.

If the end of the cloud is heaven, will he go to that heaven after he dies, will he see his mother, and his grandparents?

"When the hour comes, the sacrifice begins!"

The trumpet sounded again. The sesame oil in the four iron pots in the four corners of the altar was lit one by one, the flames were extremely vigorous, the Yangtze River Gang surrounded the altar, and dozens of coffins were also neatly placed on the flat ground. I saw a group of people with strips of cloth around their waists, painted with oil paint all over their bodies, with their heads scattered, hanging strings of bells, wearing grimace masks, holding all kinds of ritual weapons in their hands, surrounding the altar, with words in their mouths, and dancing.

It turned out to be a dance! This sacrificial dance that has been largely lost in later generations!

Time was slowly passing, tears flowed from the corners of Wu Qing's eyes, at this moment, how much he really hoped for a miracle, but it was destined to disappoint him. Images of past and present lives came to his mind.

After a night of struggle, Dong Xiaowan finally figured it out, looked at the young man opposite, and said, "Stinky boy, am I good-looking?" ”

Wu Qing smiled wryly, "You're so ugly!" ”

Dong Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then are you willing to marry me?" ”

"What am I going to do with an ugly girl?"

"I can do laundry and cook, and I will give you a baby" Dong Xiaowan said, her cheeks showed a blush, and her dirty face looked a little charming.

A tear flashed in the corner of Wu Qing's eyes, and he said loudly: "Do you know, your beauty makes it impossible for me to refuse you!" ”

Dong Xiaowan smiled, her originally cold face, smiled, she smiled charmingly and movingly, and her smile made all the Yangtze River Gang members present look sideways. She cried, she cried so tearfully that people wanted to hold it in her arms and pity it.

She shouted, "Stinky boy, I didn't misread you! ”
