Of course, Tian Hu didn't die. However, death is not far away.

Now the dilemma in front of him is: there is the Yellow River in front, there are chasing soldiers in the back, and there is no place to take refuge! To say that Tian Hu is still the first time in his life, he feels that the distance from death is so close.

"Where's the ship!? There is a huge Yellow River, how can you not even find a big boat! Captain, you must think of a way to get me a boat to go first! The manic Tian Hu can no longer maintain the bearing of a puppet emperor, and he only has instinct left before the philosophical question of survival or perdition.

"Your Majesty, I have already sent three groups of sergeants to find the ship, but there really isn't......" Fang Xuedu lowered his head, some things can't be changed out of thin air, he is just a strategist who gives advice, not an immortal who takes things from the air.

"Sun Li and Mu Hong who killed a thousand knives! I treat them as confidants, but they regard me as a stepping stone to the faint king, and when they turn around, they become the vanguard of the faint king, and instead force their old master to run wolf, do you say that there are such wolf ambitions in the world! What the hell, I said a long time ago, the people who followed Song Jiang to get in are not good things, cut Cai Qing and Cai Fu for me! Then send the order to the three armies, and go back to fight with this gang of anti-bone thieves! ”

Looking at the turbid torrent of the Yellow River in front of him, Tian Hu suddenly had the idea of jumping down for a hundred years. But he was not reconciled, unwilling to let the empire he had created fall apart like this, unwilling to let his emperor's dream wake up before he had done enough.

Fang Xuedu didn't move, just looked at his lord quietly. At this time, it doesn't matter whether they kill the Cai brothers or not, although these two poor eggs who don't know Song Jiang's plan at all die like this, they must be very wronged.

As for wanting to go back with a fish dead net, it's not been a day or two since Tian Hu said this, but hasn't he staggered from Hedong to Hebei? Now the road to the Xia Kingdom in the west has been blocked by the anti-thieves Song Jiang and the Song army, and to the north to Liao is to drink water to quench thirst, and to the south is to throw themselves into the net, except to the east. There is no other choice.

"Your Majesty, it's time for this juncture, even if the armies can escort Your Majesty away, even if thank God, where can they be forced to fight a battle to the death?"

Fang Xuedu sighed bitterly, there were fewer and fewer people following Tian Hu along the way, and defection to the enemy had become the norm. When they started to flee from Xinzhou, Tian Hu still had more than 100,000 troops around him, plus 30,000 soldiers and horses who rushed from Daizhou to meet, and the army was still neat. I didn't know that I rushed all the way to the state, and waited until I came to Shenzhou, Hebei. Tian Hu has less than 80,000 horses around him, and more than half of them have fled.

Moreover, among these fugitives, there are not a few people who want to sell Tian Hu's head for a good price. The bad ship also has three catties of nails, Tian Hu finally has a time when he doesn't look away, at least the eight powerful generals he personally appointed have always been loyal.

With 30,000 descendants escorted by the Royal Forest Army, Tian Hu was not beheaded in a daze, but this tortuous escape road of nearly 1,000 miles made the most elite guards under Tian Hu overwhelmed. The original establishment of 60,000 people was sharpened to the point that only half of the people remained.

At this time, the other sergeants who fled with Tian Hu, except for the three or five thousand old men of the green forest, the rest of the majority were the imperial court troops commanded by Yumei and Bi Sheng. It's ironic. Although the envoy Tong Shu, who represented the imperial court, recruited rebellions in Hedong, none of these former imperial court officials and soldiers dared to return to the imperial court.

Tong Guan seems to have completely abandoned these old ministries of the past, and the people of the Green Forest who surrendered to Cheng can be pardoned and knighted. But waiting for these rebels, who were once officers and soldiers of the imperial court, were only to vent their anger and kill. Tong Guan seems to want to prove to the world with two completely different attitudes, the enemy. There will never be a traitor who is so hated.

With the support of these two forces, Tian Hu stumbled to this day, but at this time, he felt that his road had come to an end.

"Your Majesty, now, instead of going back and fighting with Sun Li and Mu Hong, it's better to turn around and ...... south" Fang Xuedu suggested again, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the angry Tian Hu:

"To the south? Crashed headlong into Wang Yu's arms? Didn't you hear the rumors, the dead horses of Xixia were all folded in his hands, this guy is even more difficult than Sun Li, you want to commit suicide!? ”

After being reprimanded by Tian Hu, Fang Xuedu's face was difficult, but he still said cautiously: "If we don't turn south, it will be difficult for us to explain to the brothers!" I think we lied to them that Liang Shan was willing to take us in, and then we bumped into this Shenzhou all the way, if Your Majesty doesn't give them a little hope, I'm afraid that the team will mutiny! ”

"Enough! I don't want to hear that again! What about the fast horses we sent to Liangshan? Why hasn't the message been sent back yet? Tian Hu once again rudely interrupted Fang Xuedu's words.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is to blame for being too short-sighted in the first place, and he made this Hebei a mess. Now that we are in trouble, how many people want to deal with us? Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people leaving the team alone, which is actually not a good thing! That's because the officials, soldiers and people of various states and counties are waiting for us with their eyes wide open, and once our deserters are left alone, they will definitely die on the way before they see Tong Guan's conquest army. These local officers and soldiers and grass people don't care about a person's head and three rewards, and the brothers who fled here with us, which one of them has no family background? They want to be angry and want to make profits! ”

Fang Xuedu was ostensibly making a review, but in fact, his meaning was very clear, it didn't matter what Liang Shanbo's attitude was, the important thing was that his own fast horse couldn't get out of the state and county at all.

Tian Hu seemed to understand it, and he was so angry on the spot that he couldn't really learn how to do it! After holding back for a long time, Fang said: "You go down and bring Qiao Yan to me!" I asked him to set off immediately to drink Ma Chuan, and tell Li Ying, the sky-fighting eagle, that if they wanted to watch me die, then the old monk Zhizhen, the master of the flower monk Lu Zhishen, plus the bald donkey of the Wenshu Monastery in Wutai Mountain, Daizhou, would all become ghosts under the sword! I have no way out, I don't mind having a few more people accompany me on Huangquan Road, I will overtake them personally! ”

"Your Majesty, by all means! How can Wang Lun be coerced? No matter what, we can only ask each other softly! Daoist Qiao is our last hope! Fang Xuedu remembered the scene in Lingzhou back then, and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, and immediately persuaded hard.

"Don't worry, I can still hold this breath. As long as you can spare your life, what is the point of being humiliated? Tian Hu finally softened, and the hysteria when he felt hopeless was healed by the glimmer of life he created.

Fang Xuedu sighed. turned around and left, in fact, he was like a mirror in his heart, so Liang Shan would have made a move a long time ago, and he still had to wait until today? This time, nine out of nine is still hopeless. But the bitterness is suffering, knowing that there is no hope for things, they still have to place hope. Because, the only one who has the strength and courage to save them today is Wang Lun.

Just when Fang Xuedu and Tian Hu were cornered, who knew that at this moment, strange things appeared.

Fang Xuedu hasn't gone to find Qiao Daoqing yet. But seeing that Qiao Daoqing came to the door by himself, what was even more strange was that this Taoist priest was still following Tian Hu's father-in-law Fan Quan, if Fang Xuedu hadn't known that Fan Quan had recommended Qiao Yan, who was still in prison, to envoy Liang Shanbo, he would not have connected these two people with very different personalities by killing him.

Suddenly, seeing Tian Hu's appearance of "eager to try" on the cliff on the riverbank, Fan Quan "chuckled" in his heart, and hurriedly shouted from afar: "Virtuous son-in-law, virtuous son-in-law, we are saved." There is salvation! ”

For a person like Tian Hu, worrying that he would commit suicide was undoubtedly unfounded, and sure enough, Tian Hu turned around as soon as possible. With a comical enthusiasm, even "I" panicked, "Tarzan! Who will save me! ”

"O virtuous son-in-law! Don't panic, and listen to me slowly! Fan Quan was so proud in his heart. Although he is Tian Hu's father-in-law, he is like a grandson in front of him on weekdays, how have you ever heard him call him "Mount Tai"? Today, I have the blessing of "going online". Finally raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief!

"Old Taishan, please speak! In any case, you have to save the lives of your daughter and son-in-law! Tian Hu said in a hurry.

"Ahh Don't be alarmed! The old man will tell you a shocking news first! Fan Quan seemed to enjoy this state very much, and he dealt with it with his mouth, but he was not in a hurry in his heart.

As soon as Tian Hu saw that Fan Quan was on the contrary, he almost sprouted his old state and scolded this old immortal. But seeing Fang Xuedu, who had turned back, waved his hand again and again, he finally held back, "Lord Taishan, just say it!" ”

Fan Quan was very proud in his heart, but he made a mysterious expression on his face, and finally stopped selling Guanzi: "Wang Qing has been recruited by the imperial court!" ”

Tian Hu was chased by people during this time, and he was in danger, how could he know the news? The first reaction at the moment was disbelief, and he thought that Fan Quan was happy with him, and when he was about to have a seizure, he suddenly heard Fan Quan say another news, which immediately aroused his survival**.

"Haven't we always had a place to go to? Your father-in-law and I, in fact, still know a few people on the rivers and lakes! Let's just say that Wang Qing's right-hand man who sells illicit salt on the Yellow River is dangerous, that is my old knowledge! It is said that the soft bone Wang Qing took refuge in the imperial court, but he did not want to follow, so he has been working on the Yellow River, and now when I see the old man, I am in trouble, so I brought all the ships under my command, and plundered the official ships of several surrounding state capitals, and specially rushed to the rescue! ”

"Tarzan! You're a great blessing to me! You call him over, my Tian Hu is definitely interesting, I pay attention to a grateful picture in my life, as long as he helps me escape this catastrophe, my Tian Hu will be grateful! Tian Hu almost jumped up with joy, it seems that he is really blessed by the emperor, and there is no endless road to heaven!

Fan Quan grabbed the oil head that could wash half of the mud, but his eyes kept glancing at Qiao Daoqing, who came with him, as if the next words were quite unspeakable, and he wanted to pass on this hot potato. I don't know that Qiao Daoqing has refused to say a word since he called, and at this time he is still like standing on a stake, and I don't know what the purpose of his coming with him is. was so angry that Fan Quan scolded in his heart, "Like Lao Tzu, he has already fucked Liangshan, and what kind of loyal martyrs are you pretending to be here!" ”

scolded in his heart, but this Qiao Yan was valued by the "upline", and Fan Quan didn't dare to squeeze him too much, so as not to dig a pit for himself in the future, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Virtuous son-in-law, in front of you, I will tell the truth!" This dangerous trick has too much appetite, I'm afraid you can't afford it! ”

No matter how stupid Tian Hu is, he can still understand his father-in-law's words, and his eyes are wide at the moment: "He wants to eat me?!" ”

Fan Quan coughed dryly and said, "He has found an island in the open sea near the mouth of the Yellow River, and he is now recruiting troops and horses, and his plan is not small. He has already drawn a line with me, if the virtuous son-in-law is willing to vote for him, he will ensure that you will avoid this catastrophe! ”

"! It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, and all cats and dogs are bullied! When the Emperor of Western Xia wanted to tear the earth and recruit me, I didn't go! What kind of birdman is this dangerous Zhaode, I have never heard his name, and he dares to ask me to vote for him?! Tian Hu is really angry, it is not a price-lowering move created during bargaining at all.

"Yes, yes, the old man also complains in his heart that he is not authentic, you are my son-in-law, I am not to you, to whom? I'm going to take him back, let's still go to Liangshan!" Fan Quan showed a look of fighting for Tian Hu, turned around and left after speaking, and left Tian Hu on the spot.

"Wait!" Tian Hu made a difficult decision, and finally stopped his father-in-law, he was like a mirror in his heart, where is Liangshan to take refuge in now?

"Virtuous son-in-law, in fact, I also mean this, Liang Shanbo is far away from water can not quench the thirst of the near, and danger is our life-saving straw. Although he asked us not to wear armor and not hold blades in our hands when we got on the boat, we had 70,000 or 80,000 miles! When he arrives on that island, if he wants to swallow an elephant with a snake body, let's kill him! And spared an island for nothing! Thinking about Liangshanbo, isn't it because of the danger of 800 miles of water that the officials and troops can't approach? ”

"Virtuous son-in-law, although it is my old acquaintance, I am on your side! I want you to make a comeback, too! (To be continued......)
