Chapter 1410: It's Snowing
The sword light and sword shadow quickly swept away the light snow, swept everything around, and enveloped the two people in it.
Wei Zhongxian quietly watched the fight that was taking place next to him, unable to interfere or participate, he looked up at the gloomy sky, and let the light snow fall on his face, into his eyes, and finally into water droplets.
He finally learned the root of what had happened to him lately, but he couldn't get any more interested. Why is all this going on? Da Ming doesn't have a few days left, and they still can't change their old habits, or they still have to fight for fame and fortune, and they don't know what the point is?
He just wanted to get it done quickly. The Ming court gave itself glory and wealth, and naturally it can also be taken back, since this life is now wanted by the Son of Heaven, what is the use of keeping it?
After all, they had been injured before, Qi Wang and Liu Songping were a little weak, and under this merciless and closely coordinated siege, they were soon re-injured again, and the blood was dripping again.
Qi Wang's eyes widened, the bloody nature occupied his mind again, he waved the knife in his hand without reservation, he didn't care about his injuries at all, he just thought about slashing at others, anyway, he couldn't escape now, what difference did it make if he held on for a while longer or less? As long as you die before the third uncle, it's fine.
He wanted to scream, but he couldn't shout anything, he only felt that his breath was blocked in his heart, and he was very uncomfortable. This qi once supported him to remain loyal to the Ming court in the most difficult time of the Ming Dynasty, and also supported him through the most dangerous moments, but now it is only depressed in his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He dodged with the enemy's sword, and then he swung down with his sword, separating the two men who were attacking him, and then bent his waist to dodge the slash that came from him, and then slashed back with the sword, and the sound of the blades clashing incessantly, and he could not escape from the enemy's siege, so he could only consume his strength in this net.
At this moment, he squinted and found that the third uncle was already full of disadvantages in the fight with Tao Che, and he couldn't help but feel more anxious.
"You're really good, you can hold up for so long with an injury." After Liu Songping was barely blocked by his knife again, Tao Che nodded slightly, as if to approve of this enemy, "It's a pity, Jinyiwei is not a place where you can get ahead by relying on your skills." ”
"I knew this more than ten years ago." Liu Songping replied in a low voice. Although his tone was calm, the weakness inside could not be hidden. "Isn't that the way of the world?"
"That's right, that's how the world is!" Tao Che shouted, raised his knife and slashed at Liu Songping, "So I am a thousand households, and if you die, you can only die." ”
Liu Songping blocked this knife with a horizontal knife, but because Tao Che's strength was too strong, he could only barely resist it, watching the knife press on his head little by little.
"Third uncle!" At that moment, a loud shout rang out in his ears.
Not good! Liu Songping was shocked. He wanted to get out of the way, but his body was still injured and he was in a hard fight, but he couldn't move away.
A knife came from the side, stabbed him in the ribs like that, and then pulled it out heavily.
The sharp pain irritated his nerves, and he suddenly had a surge of strength out of nowhere, and he thrust Tao Che hard, and then quickly retreated to the side. Qi Wang, on the other hand, roared angrily, rushed towards him desperately, and slashed at the enemy who attacked his third uncle, at the cost of another stab in his back.
"Third uncle, are you okay?" Qi Wang helped Liu Songping and asked with tears in his eyes.
"It's fine." Blood oozed from the corners of Liu Songping's mouth, and then spit on the ground, "Silly boy, how good it would be if you left earlier......
"Ahh Because he was so angry that he looked up to the sky and shouted.
The breath that had been in his heart seemed to drift into the air with this shout, and then his gaze returned to his enemy, and his eyes were slightly red from bloodshot.
He shouted again, and then rushed towards them without risking his own life.
He didn't bother to swing his blade at him, he just swung his sword at them to vent his anger, this kind of undisciplined fighting did not bring any casualties to these brocade guards, only added a few wounds to his own body.
Slowly, Qi Wang began to feel that his body was getting colder and colder, and every step he took seemed to take several times more strength than before, and courage and anger could not replace blood after all.
Do you want to die in the desolate wilderness, be buried, and then become one of the countless corpses on the road?
At least die before the third uncle. He thought to himself.
The knife became weaker and weaker, and the enemy pressed tighter and tighter, but he would not stop until the moment he died.
"Boom" "Boom"
There was a roar in the sky, as if thunder and lightning were echoing in the sky, but where would it be thundering now?
Soon, Qi Wang noticed that the ground was also trembling slightly.
Is there a new gang of pursuers? As he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that the enemies in front of him were also full of doubts, and their movements gradually slowed down, and they looked in a distant direction in disbelief.
Not their people. Qi Wang instantly understood this fact.
Because these people are wearing red cotton robes.
The riders were arranged in neat rows, surging towards the group at very small intervals, like a moving wall. From a distance, their cotton robes and reddish-brown horses were mixed into one color, and against the background of the snow-white earth, like a red torrent, they were unstoppably rushing towards this side. Along the way of this torrent, black mud and white snow were mixed and splashed in all directions, and the rumbling sound stirred everyone's eardrums.
Although he had never seen this kind of formation before, Qi Wang instantly understood who these knights were - in this world, could there be people from other places who would dress like this? Is there any other place where people can have this kind of momentum?
The red rush rushed towards this side, and Tao Che was stunned for a moment, then finally reacted, and then shouted "Get on the horse!" He also rushed towards a horse next to him.
Although he is not a general of the imperial court, but he also knows a little about the battle formation, in front of the knights who are rushing to attack, if it is not the infantry waiting in formation, standing on the ground to meet the enemy is tantamount to self-destruction, and it is too late to dodge to the side, the best way now is to get on the horse first, and then go to the formation to meet the attack.
Under his drum and trumpet, the others also reacted immediately, and ran towards the horses in the distance, and for a while, no one cared about the lives of Qiwang and Liu Songping.
At this time, perhaps because of the beginning of the acceleration, the roar of the horse's hooves has become more dense, and the torrent is getting closer and closer. Under the gaze of the brocade guards, the figure on the opposite side has become clearer and clearer.
These red knights all have sturdy faces with very serious faces, sharp eyes, as if they were poured out of a mold, and the iron towers are entrenched on horseback, giving people a shocking momentum.
Perhaps because they had reached the distance of engagement, they had raised their sabers, and the blades of their sabers shone with a terrifying sheen in the light of the not-so-bright daylight, which made them involuntarily feel a sense of fear.
They didn't have time to get rid of this fear, they didn't even have time to meet the whole team, the group of red-clothed knights rushed over with terrible speed, and when they rushed in front of the brocade guard, one after another waved their sabers, and then fell, and the neat queue changed slightly, as if the torrent had met a few reefs, and then there were some ripples as a result, and then, the two teams separated again, and the torrent of red clothes swept over the group.
Everywhere there was the sound of a saber slashing into a human body, blood spouted everywhere, corpses fell from horses or on the ground, heart-rending screams rang out one after another, and some people fell directly to the ground and never groaned again. Some people had long wounds on their shoulders or abdomen, dripping with blood everywhere and spilling on the white ground, leaving a blinding scarlet.
The engagement took only a little time, and under the onslaught of the horses, the two groups of men quickly separated, and the knight in red rushed out, and only after reaching the other side did he slowly rein in his horse, turn the horse's head and reorganize the group, ready for the next assault.
And the people on the side of the Jinyi Guard had already suffered heavy casualties in the first round of engagement, and this team of red-clothed knights, like heavenly soldiers and generals, actually made this group of people involuntarily feel a sense of helplessness rise in their hearts.
It was not only this group of Jinyi guards who bore the brunt of the shock who were shocked, but also Wei Zhongxian, who was standing not far away to witness all this.
When the group of red-clad cavalry charged, he especially felt the shock, as if it were a mountain pressing down on him.
This was the first time he had seen Zhao Jiajun's performance with his own eyes, and this performance had already made him fearful.
"Advance and retreat in moderation, not afraid of death, disciplined...... No wonder...... No wonder ......" he muttered to himself with his eyes wide open, "No wonder ......"
He has seen the military glory of the Ming Dynasty, where can it be compared to one-tenth of this group of soldiers? It is no wonder that Wang Zaijin has already taken it after only engaging in a battle once, and he no longer has the courage to fight them...... No wonder even the Jurchen elite can't beat it.
This is only the impact of less than 100 people, but Zhao Jin already has thousands of troops and horses, and thousands of soldiers like this tiger Ben have died for it......
Da Ming is dead! Da Ming is dead! Da Ming is dead!
This shout, thunder resounded in his ears.
"Yes...... But the military master of Xuzhou ......" Looking at the red knights not far away, Tao Che asked in a trembling voice.
His face was extremely pale, in the sudden engagement, he had managed to dodge from several sabers that had been chopped over, and now he still had palpitations, although his side had suffered heavy losses in this hasty engagement, but he had no idea of revenge at all, only thinking about retreating from this group of plague gods and saving his life.
"Of course it's the Xuzhou Army." After a while, a man who looked like an officer in the formation replied, "In addition to Xuzhou, is there such a strong army in the world?" ”
Despite his arrogant attitude, no one even contradicted his words in his heart.
"This military master, now ...... Now that Xuzhou has signed a peace treaty with my Ming Dynasty, they do not offend each other, why ...... Why cross borders? Tao Che suppressed the horror in his heart, and asked in his most gentle tone, "If the military master acts in private, aren't you afraid of upsetting the above?" ”
Although this group of people crossed the line and killed some of his men, he didn't even dare to scold, and only dared to defend them in this way.
"Peace? We are only to do what we are commanded, and who is in charge of what covenant? The officer replied unceremoniously, "I have crossed the border, and sooner or later this world is the world where we will enter the master's world, what's wrong?" If you don't accept it, then fight again! ”
With that, he and the other knights raised their swords again, and the horses moved slightly.
Jin Yiwei hurriedly picked up his knife as well, but many people were trembling slightly under the shock, obviously having no intention of fighting.
Tao Che looked to the side, and then looked at Zhao Jiajun opposite, he himself did not have the courage to fight again. "The military master has something to say, don't hurt the harmony of the two families!"
"Say it well? Nothing to say! The officer on the other side raised his hand, "Give that man to us, and then you can go, or you will fight again!" ”
Tao Che chuckled inwardly.
This group of Zhao family troops really came for Wei Zhongxian.
I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to really collude with Zhao Jin!
When they received the secret report before, they were still a little suspicious, after all, Wei Zhongxian has always been loyal to Daming, and he has a deep enmity with Zhao Jin, so he shouldn't go to Zhao Jin, but he didn't expect it...... I didn't expect ......
"Wei Zhongxian, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, but you took refuge in Zhao Jin, you still have a little shame!" Under the anger in his heart, he didn't care so much at once, and directly yelled at Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian was also stunned, he didn't expect that this group of people actually came to arrest themselves. He wanted to refute it, but suddenly he felt that it didn't make sense to say anything.
"Leave now, you can still stay alive, if you don't leave, then don't go!" The officer was a little impatient, raised his sword, and pointed directly at Tao Che, "I'll count three times, and if you don't leave after three times, then don't blame the sword for being ruthless!" Three! ”
The cardinals behind him also raised their sabers.
Taucher's heart hit rock bottom.
He didn't have any choice at all, the number of people on both sides was originally a big difference, and in the battle just now, there were casualties on his side, and there were no casualties on the other side, this kind of difference in combat power is also similar to the abyss, even if he barely resists, it is just self-destruction, and it will not help in the overall situation.
"Two!"
The merciless shouts urged him to make a choice immediately.
"One!"
When he heard this shout, Taucher did not hesitate any longer. "Wait! Since the two families have already made a peace treaty, they must naturally focus on harmony, and they can't use swords and soldiers in vain! Since the military master wants to take him away, then take him away! We don't interfere anymore! ”
"You know the times!" The officer sneered, then lowered his saber and waved his hand.
In the red-clothed army array, a few horses were immediately divided and slowly ran to Wei Zhongxian's side.
It seems that there is no way to escape this experience, and after all, it still can't be avoided.
But that's fine. It's all come to this point, what's there to be afraid of?
Wei Zhongxian took a deep breath, then raised his hand tremblingly, pointing to Qi Wang, who was squatting on the ground, and Liu Songping, who was lying down.
"You want to take our family away, you can, but you have to help our family keep these two people!"
After hearing his slightly shrill shout, the officer was slightly surprised.
"Huh?" Then, he looked at the two bloodied men again, and muttered for a moment. "Leave the two of them behind, and you go!"
"Master Jun, this is our own Jinyiwei...... Let's ......" Tao Che was a little anxious and hurriedly explained to him.
"Leave the two of them behind! Hurry up and let me go! The officer raised his saber again.
His tone left no room for anything, but no matter how angry Tao Che was in his heart, he didn't dare to attack, they had already heard of the prestige of Zhao Jiajun, and now they had witnessed it with their own eyes, where did they have the courage to do it again?
"Just do it according to the military master." He gritted his teeth and lowered his head, then waved his hand behind him.
The people of the Jinyi Guard regrouped, and then Le Ma prepared to leave, compared to the initial momentum, they were now much more depressed, and they could no longer see Fang Cai's flying and domineering.
"Wei Zhongxian, you ...... You are proud now......" Maybe because of his unwillingness, before leaving, Tao Che turned his head and gritted his teeth to look at Wei Zhongxian, "But you have failed your father so much, everyone in the world is watching, and God is also watching, you must not die well!" ”
Wei Zhongxian just smiled slightly. Now, he doesn't care what others say.
After glaring at Wei Zhongxian hatefully for a few moments, Tao Che turned around and left, his momentum as rapid as when he came.
And Wei Zhongxian didn't look at them anymore, and walked next to Liu Songping, who was lying flat on Qi Wang's hand.
"Are you alright?" He asked in a low voice.
"I'm afraid it is...... I'm afraid I won't be able to live. Liu Songping coughed up blood and replied with a smile, "It's just, it doesn't hurt." ”
"It's good if it doesn't hurt, it's good if it doesn't hurt......" Wei Zhongxian shook his head, completely hiding his regret and sadness under a calm face, "In this world, it's rare to be able to walk without pain......"
"Third uncle, third uncle!" Qi Wang didn't care what he said, just looked at Liu Songping with tears in his eyes.
"Don't cry, child, I'm ...... I'm all this age, and I'm dead...... What's the pity of dying? Liu Songping looked at Qi Wang with difficulty, "It's you, you are still alive...... Then you must live well...... Stop doing stupid things......"
Qi Wang's tears couldn't be stopped, and they fell on Liu Songping's body one by one, mixed with blood and water, and they all flowed to the ground.
Liu Songping looked at his nephew, and there was no fear of dying in his heart, but only relief. The nephew finally has a home, and he can leave with peace of mind.
"Take care of yourself!" He said with the last of his strength, and tried to reach out and touch his nephew's face, but he couldn't lift it, and his hand became heavier and heavier, and finally fell to the ground.
"Third uncle! Third uncle! Qi Wang shouted frantically, but he couldn't wake him up, and his cry became louder and louder, and finally turned into a howl.
"The dead are gone, mourn." When he was crying, Wei Zhongxian patted him on the shoulder, "People will have such a day after all, what can they do when they cry?" I have already given you all the things that your third uncle asked me for, take it well, go to Jiangnan and settle down, this world is not the time for people like you to get ahead! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Qi Wang's response, he walked straight to the cardinal cavalry.
"You're going to take one of us, right? Then let's go, don't be him! ”
The officer smiled, then waved his hand, and a cavalryman turned over and dismounted, helped Wei Zhongxian onto his horse, and then got on his horse himself, and firmly grasped Wei Zhongxian.
At that moment, the officer suddenly arched his hand towards a person next to him.
"You go back and tell Mr. Bai that he really has no last resort, and Wei Zhongxian has been caught by us."
"The little one will go change his clothes later, and then go back to his life." The man on horseback hurriedly bowed.
"Mr. Bai has made such a contribution, and the above will not forget it, although there is no reward now, but it is indispensable after all." The officer said, "Please take care of Mr. Bai, after all, it is in the official office of the Ming Dynasty, so you should be more careful." ”
"Don't worry about this, now the prefect of Guangping listens to him very much, almost everything is his fate, and the yamen seems to be in charge of Mr. Bai." The man hurriedly replied, "According to Mr. Bai, the prefect actually knew in his heart that he was from Xuzhou, but for the sake of his own net worth, he deliberately didn't say it, and now only Mr. Bai's order is obeyed every day, lest he offend the Xuzhou side......"
"Ha, these officials of the Ming Dynasty are really good!" The officer laughed and shook his head, "Aren't there a few who have integrity?" ”
While mocking, he turned to look at Wei Zhongxian, but Wei Zhongxian's face was still as calm as it was just now, and he couldn't see any horror or any fear for the future.
This man has finally fallen into our hands! The officer's heart suddenly burst with joy.
Because he has repeatedly opposed Xuzhou and organized the encirclement and suppression of Xuzhou several times, Wei Zhongxian is naturally very hated in Xuzhou, especially in the Zhao family, and because of this reason, he will be so happy when he hears his task.
When he arrives in Xuzhou, there will be this old gelding who is comfortable, will Jin Ye divide his five horses into corpses, or will he cut him with a thousand knives? He thought to himself.
The world is so big, no one can stop Jin Ye anymore, the powerful Wei Gonggong of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jian Nu who is said to be invincible outside the Guan, can only bow his head at the feet of Jin Ye one by one, and can no longer move.
In this world, the surname Zhao is about to be!
Looking at the vast land, the officer's heart suddenly gave birth to a sense of pride and pride.
Then, he waved his hand, and this group of cavalry also ordered a ban, and turned with him, galloping in the direction of Xuzhou.
The snow was still falling, and Qi Wang was still half-squatting beside the dead Liu Songping, looking blankly at his dead body.
Of course, his gaze would not be answered, and the snow slowly fell, accumulating on the ground little by little, and a thin white curtain was raised, and there was silence all around, not even the birdsong, and he was the only one left between heaven and earth.
The third uncle died, and he was killed by the people of the Ming Dynasty. Death is not terrible, but it hurts people's hearts to die like this.
Qi Wang finally found that his previous high spirits now seemed to be a joke. Da Ming doesn't want loyalty, he doesn't want loyalty, he wants to save Da Ming, but does Da Ming want him to save it?
He never wanted to return to Jingshi again, and he didn't want to wash away his grievances.
But the world is so big, how many places can be accommodated?
He looked up, and the sky was so dark that it was hard to believe that it could give birth to such white snowflakes.
"Ahh He suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, shouting out all the incomprehension, pain, and depression in his heart.
Naturally, no one can hear. Wei Zhongxian, "But you have failed your father so much, everyone in the world is watching, and God is also watching, you will definitely not die well!" ”
Wei Zhongxian just smiled slightly. Now, he doesn't care what others say.
After glaring at Wei Zhongxian hatefully for a few moments, Tao Che turned around and left, his momentum as rapid as when he came.
And Wei Zhongxian didn't look at them anymore, and walked next to Liu Songping, who was lying flat on Qi Wang's hand.
"Are you alright?" He asked in a low voice.
"I'm afraid it is...... I'm afraid I won't be able to live. Liu Songping coughed up blood and replied with a smile, "It's just, it doesn't hurt." ”
"It's good if it doesn't hurt, it's good if it doesn't hurt......" Wei Zhongxian shook his head, completely hiding his regret and sadness under a calm face, "In this world, it's rare to be able to walk without pain......"
"Third uncle, third uncle!" Qi Wang didn't care what he said, just looked at Liu Songping with tears in his eyes.
"Don't cry, child, I'm ...... I'm all this age, and I'm dead...... What's the pity of dying? Liu Songping looked at Qi Wang with difficulty, "It's you, you are still alive...... Then you must live well...... Stop doing stupid things......"
Qi Wang's tears couldn't be stopped, and they fell on Liu Songping's body one by one, mixed with blood and water, and they all flowed to the ground.
Liu Songping looked at his nephew, and there was no fear of dying in his heart, but only relief. The nephew finally has a home, and he can leave with peace of mind.
