Alas! Martyred......

Lu Wenzhao closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it anymore - or maybe he couldn't bear to look at it because he knew that he was about to die at the hands of the wild boar skin, so what was there to see......

However, unexpectedly, Lu Wenzhao did not hear the expected "poof" beheading sound, but instead heard the ridiculous colleague suddenly let out a terrible shout: "Shen Lian! Why don't you hurry up and save your father! ”

"Shen Lian? Who is Shen Lian? Lu Wenzhao was aroused by this rather flavorful name, he opened his eyes again, and looked at the colleague who "did not want to be martyred"-

"Poof"

A steel nail flew out, and the head of the wild boar skin exploded at once, and the red blood and white brains burst out, and then the thick wild boar skin "plopped" and fell to the ground, but it was already too dead to die anymore......

Immediately afterwards, a scene that made Lu Wenzhao's heart beat faster and he could not breathe appeared: a sturdy figure came out from behind the boulder, stabbed the second boar skin in the chest, and then killed it.

But unfortunately, his knife was stuck in the second boar skin and could not be pulled out, and at this very juncture, the last boar skin had already rushed over with a spear in his hand—

Lu Wenzhao didn't think about it, he took a sharp breath of cold air and pounced in pain, knocking the wild boar skin to the side, but he himself also chewed and fell to the ground......

This fall let Lu Wenzhao know that his ribs had to be broken by at least five numbers, and he grinned in pain......

But it was worth it, for he had already seen the figure take the opportunity to kill the last boar skin, and slowly walk towards him over the wound on his left shoulder......

Then he only heard a "plop" sound, and the man knelt in front of Lu Wenzhao as if he had lost his strength all of a sudden, looked at him fixedly without saying a word, and then raised his knife to cut the rope on the latter's body......

"Whew~", after being saved, Lu Wenzhao exhaled a long breath, he took a deep look at Shen Lian, who had saved him, and saw that his official position was lower than his own, and he was also relieved.

Turning his head, Lu Wenzhao saw that the rope of the sobbing colleague beside him had not been loosened, so he staggered to his feet, carrying a knife while cutting the rope for him, while panting and telling Shen Lian his identity: "I am a garrison under the command of General Du-"

"Is Mr. Du okay?" Hearing the identity of the other party, Shen Lian raised his head and asked.

"Good!" , the corners of Lu Wenzhao's mouth twitched, and then added: "It's just that the head is lost!" ”

"......", Shen Lian endured the pain in his left shoulder, and didn't bother to pay attention to Lu Wenzhao's untimely "cold jokes", he looked around at the corpses of his colleagues everywhere, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for the other three reinforcements...... It's been a long time—"

"The three-way reinforcements? I think it's also more auspicious! Lu Wenzhao dropped the knife and staggered back to Shen Lian's side, staring at his armpit.

When Shen Lian saw it, he instantly understood what he meant, and immediately reached out and touched it, pulled off the red water bag hidden under his armpit, and threw it to Lu Wenzhao.

Lu Wenzhao pulled out the stopper, first drank a big sip of his stomach, and then drank it in small sips, but his stomach and intestines, which had not eaten for a long time, still couldn't resist the stimulation of cold water, which made Lu Wenzhao vomit out "wow".

But after quenching his thirst a little, Lu Wenzhao wiped his mouth, and heard the colleague who was still lying on the ground calling for "water", so he threw the water bag over without thinking.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Wenzhao clasped his hands into fists, leaned forward slightly, and bowed to Shen Lian: "Under Lu Wenzhao, thank you Brother Shen for saving your life!" ”

Seeing this, Shen Lian hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, and was about to speak, when he heard someone shouting in the snow a few meters away: "Shen Lian! Shen Lian! ”

Shen Lian was slightly stunned, looked over when he heard the sound, and found that the person was the one who had just spoken disrespectfully to him, his face froze, and then he turned sideways and pretended not to see it.

Seeing that Shen Lian was unwilling to deal with He Qizheng, Lu Wenzhao smiled slightly, patted Shen Lian's arm, bent down and picked up a knife and walked over, cutting the rope that tied He Qizheng with three strokes and five divisions.

After getting out of trouble, He Qizheng kneaded his shoulders that were strangled by the rope and said: "In the Xia Luo Yu period, he was added as a lieutenant under the command of Liaoyang General Liu, and I have seen Lord Lu!" ”

"Eh~ Brother Luo has seen the outside, what are we talking about in a few friends of life and death! If you don't dislike it, we will be brothers in the future! Lu Wenzhao patted He Qizheng's arm and said.

"Then the little brother is better to be respectful, Brother Lu!" , In order to help him more in the future, He Qizheng also decisively lost his temperament, climbed up the pole handed over by Lu Wenzhao, and called "Brother Lu." ”

"Huh! That's right! You say yes, Brother Shen? Lu Wenzhao took He Qizheng's arm and came to Shen Lian and looked at him with a look of hope.

Shen Lian could see that Lu Wenzhao wanted to win him over, but his attitude of being at ease made him not like this kind of "grouping" behavior, so he quietly avoided it.

Shen Lian thought that what he was doing was very secretive, but his subtle action still couldn't escape Lu Wenzhao's keen eyes, but Lu Wenzhao didn't change a trace on the surface, and still showed an eager expression.

At this time, the sky suddenly brightened, and he was looking up, only to see a round of fiery red sun rising on the distant horizon, swaying with golden sunlight, illuminating the originally gray battlefield-

It was at that moment that He Qizheng saw clearly what kind of tragic world he was in: the entire Salhu Plain was strewn with corpses, and the blood flowing from the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers stained the earth......

It has long been impossible to distinguish between the stumps of the Ming army and Jiannu, the broken cuirass, the charred chariot, the wailing wounded horses, mixed with the black wolf smoke all over the ground, and it has turned this white wilderness into a Shura field......

……

Lu Wenzhao was also shocked by the scene in front of him, he looked fixedly at the corpses piled up like a hill under his feet, and muttered to himself: "Tens of thousands of lives...... Mowing the grass is generally gone...... If you don't want to die like this...... You have to change your way of living!! ”

He Qizheng also secretly clenched his fists, he looked back at Shen Lian, who was "getting by, and being at ease with what happened", and then looked at Lu Wenzhao, who was "unscrupulous in order to seek a higher position", and a trace of determination flashed in his heart:

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, due to the corruption of the bureaucratic class, the entire officialdom fell into intrigue and killing.

In the game of "either you die or I die" of those in power, those who stand in line die and those who stand wrong die even more, but those who slip around and shoot horses are alive and well......

I have to say that this is a kind of irony, so in all dynasties, behind the glamour of every person in power, it is full of misery and sorrow written in blood by little people......

And Shen Lian and Lu Wenzhao are living examples-

The former is a person who can stoop to filth in order to live, but in the filth, he refuses to admit it and does not want to defile himself:

In order not to be implicated in his career, he personally killed Yin Cheng, the little flag he considered his "friend", so that he angered Yin Cheng's only friend Pei Lun to avenge him......

But there was nothing at all, because Lu Wenzhao gave it down in order to repay the grace of saving his life, but Shen Lian was not grateful.

For the sake of Hokusai's paintings, he loved the house and Wu, saved Hokusai and killed his colleague Ling Yunkai with his own hands, causing himself a lot of trouble but not repenting......

But there was still nothing to do, because Lu Wenzhao gave it down again in order to repay the grace of saving his life, but Shen Lian still didn't know how to be grateful.

Then Shen Lian didn't stop, and continued to go farther and farther on the road of not dying - openly broke into the case vault, and killed the head of the team, Zheng Gonggong, and threw a fire to burn the case vault......

Originally, there was nothing to do, because Lu Wenzhao wanted to take it down in order to repay the grace of saving his life, but Shen Lian was unwilling to kill anyone, so Lu Wenzhao couldn't go on, so he could only abandon the car to protect the handsome in order to survive-

In the end, except for Hokusai, all the people involved with Shen Lian died, but Shen Lian survived, put on a brand-new flying fish suit, and then walked to the pinnacle of life, "promoted" from 100 households to the general banner, and three months later, reopened a life of pit death:

For 400 taels of gold, Wei Zhongxian was released, but because of this, his two sworn brothers Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan were killed......
