Chapter 154: Hot Hands and Red Hearts
The dagger was about to pierce Xiaogui's chest.
Xu Yongzhi's sword leader, if he wants to take it back and stab it out, there is no longer any possibility.
That's what's bad about two-handed swords, the sword journey is too long and the cooldown time is much longer.
Xu Yongzhi only felt that time was slowing down, and he tried his best to reach the dagger with his hand.
"Why, is this the end? We've just been together, and it's going to be over......"
He only felt a resentment in the sea of qi in his chest burning incomparably hot, erupting from his palm.
A fireball erupted from the palm of his hand and slammed into Qiu Yinlin.
He had already stretched, and the distance this fireball needed to go was much closer.
Before the dagger pierced Xiao Gui's chest, Qiu Yinlin had already been ignited by the fire.
He couldn't hold the dagger anymore, and he began to punch the flames on his body, but the fire took on a fully burning blue flame.
He let out a miserable cry.
He rolled, he screamed.
Xu Yongzhi was also stunned, he once hit a fireball, but he never knew how to control this power, he looked at his palm, and his face was incredible.
Xiao Gui's eyes could see clearly, and Xu Yongzhi's face was pale.
Are you worried about yourself?
Of course, there is this ingredient, but Xiaogui has been in danger with Xu Yongzhi many times, and he has never seen such a face.
It's a scared look.
He was afraid of the power of that flame, the blue flame reminded him of the deaths of his father and mother, the uncontrollable mysterious realm that the palm of his hand leads.
The flames gradually extinguished, leaving a humanoid ash on the floor.
Xu Yongzhi shuddered for a moment and instructed Fei Yanggu:
"Bring all the undead leaders outside."
Xiao Gui hurriedly walked over and gently held his hand.
Only a lover can cure your fears, trust the experience of those who have come before.
The cold hand gradually warmed up.
In the brightly lit Shuizhai Square, the four injured and tied leaders knelt on the ground in frustration, and the other four were already corpses, and Qiu Yinlin, the owner of the village, had no bones.
A person lying on the ground and moaning was none other than Qiu Xiaoyi.
"Boss Huang," Xu Yongzhi said to Lao Huang, "The Great Song Dynasty has a royal law, but in the army, we are more inclined to a simple justice, do you want to do it yourself?" If you can't, you can also entrust it to someone else. ”
"Do it yourself." Lao Huang said.
Fei Yanggu took the knife to Lao Huang, but Lao Huang refused.
He was holding a cane in his hand, and after the child was gone, Lao Huang was too sad and kept relying on the cane to support him.
Qiu Xiaoyi trembled and watched Lao Huang approach.
"What are you," Lao Huang looked at Qiu Xiaoyi, "Can you change my baby girl?" ”
"Spare your life, old man......" Qiu Xiaoyi said.
"Spare your life? You took my life first. Lao Huang laughed heartbreakingly.
"I'll tell you where the gold is hidden...... How much do you want......" Qiu Xiaoyi said.
"It's okay, the bad guy can find any stolen money, Lao Huang, you can kill it." Fei Yanggu said.
"Qiu Xiaoyi, this is death, it's everyone's limit, it's not about money." Lao Huang looked at him and said.
Boss Huang raised his cane, this jujube stick was very strong.
He aimed at Qiu Xiaoyi's lifeline, and he was ruthlessly a stick.
A scream.
All the people in the square were silent, and the captives did not know their fate, while the brothers of Feiyang Valley witnessed this scene of seeking justice.
After four or five clicks, the sound gradually became a whimper.
Lao Huang aimed his cane at Qiu Xiaoyi's head.
It's over.
Lao Huang was in tears, crying silently.
Xiaogui hugged the old man, and the old man also hugged the girl who was wearing his daughter's wedding dress.
"I thought I would feel empty for revenge, but I didn't." Lao Huang said.
"Revenge is to vent the anger, and if the anger is out, it will be fine." Xiaogui comforted him and said.
"My lord, girl, in this life, my Lao Huang is your servant Niu Ma and let you drive."
Xu Yongzhi looked at the four leaders.
"The four of you are all people full of evil, and I can't stay."
The four thieves were also depressed.
"If anyone feels wronged, tell me."
"Don't do this," one fat boss shouted, "kill if you want to." ”
"Refreshing, but this temperament can't impress me, but I'll be the first to kill you."
"My lord, my wife and son are in the crowd, I don't want them to see me die, please be merciful." A skinny leader pleaded.
"Stupid! If you say that, he's going to kill your family. The fat man chirped.
"Fei Dutou," Xu Yongzhi called Fei Datou, he is also an officer now, so he can't be called a nickname, "Take the woman and the child to the room." ”
"Okay sir, what should I do then, do you want to set it on fire?" Fei Datou really thought that Xu Yongzhi was going to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Of course not, we are an official army, and we use the royal law to kill people." Xu Yongzhi said.
Women and children entered the house one after another, and the women, who were worried about the man, secretly peeked out through the cracks in the windows and doors.
"The four of you are the leaders of the robbers and murderers, and this official sentenced you to behead on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, but considering that you have your family by your side, you will be hanged to death instead, and the four of them will be hanged with hemp rope." Xu Yongzhi commanded.
The four of them fell for a while.
"You people shouldn't have forgiven, but if you are given a choice, join the Great Song Army, you can avoid death, but you want to be pierced, are you willing?" Xu Yongzhi looked at the hundreds of people kneeling on the ground.
"My lord! Yes, we do! ”
"Separate them and add them to our team, and we will tattoo them tonight, and remember not to issue weapons first." Xu Yongzhi instructed Feiyang Valley.
Fei Yanggu is a veteran of leading troops, so he hurriedly arranged it.
Things were arranged, Xu Yongzhi looked around, Xiaogui was gone, and went into the skinning hall to look, but found Xiaogui coming out from behind.
"I found two letters in Qiu Yinlin's house, both of which are useful." Xiaogui took the first one.
A letter of appointment from Li Chongjin appointed Qiu Yinlin as the governor of the navy and the commander of the army.
"Hehe, the official is older than me." Xu Yongzhi looked at it and said with a smile.
"You don't even need to read the second letter," said Xiaogui, "and close your eyes." ”
Xiaogui put the letter under Xu Yongzhi's nose.
All of a sudden, I can remember the events of the past year.
Some smells can never be forgotten.
cloves, cinnamon, spirits leached, and, well, forsythia......
Ah, my body trembles slightly when I smell it.
This is the unique secret fragrance of Forsythia Lee.
"I don't want to touch this letter, please read it to me." Xu Yongzhi said with a frown.
It's the desire to survive again! Xu Yongzhi suddenly thought of Li Lianqiao saying his own words.
Xiaogui recognized the letter as Forsythia Li's.
If he immediately grabbed it in a hurry and opened it to see, he was afraid that Xiaogui would have thoughts in his heart again.
So simply don't touch it.
Xu Yongzhi's desire to survive has become an instinctive reaction.
He was very ashamed of his complex mental activity.
Xiaogui unfolded the letterhead.
"Sure enough," she raised her eyes from the letter and looked at Xu Yongzhi, "this woman is planning for Li Chongjin, let Qiu Yinlin take this letter and the letter of appointment to meet Li Chongjin, she promised that she would lead more warships to Qiu Yinlin to command, possibly a secret weapon, and boasted of her own spells." Xiaogui said.
"Lady, we should give this letter to the official family." Xu Yongzhi said.
"I recommend not." Xiaogui shook his head.
"What, are you worried that this will make the official family conquer the Southern Tang?" Xu Yongzhi said.
"No...... It's not ......," Xiaogui said.
"If Li Lianqiao is always so provocative, one day, things will come to this point." Xu Yongzhi was still persuading her.
"Not what you think." Xiaogui handed over the letter.
When Xu Yongzhi looked at it under the lamp, there was nothing wrong with the word Li Forsythia, but the painting was signed, not the eldest princess Li Forsythia, but "Mo Yuan".
He shuddered.
What does this mean, does Li Lianqiao know that he will come to East Dongting Mountain? Is this letter a trap?
"What do you think?" Xu Yongzhi looked at Xiaogui.
"She may just like the pseudonym, but she may also have fallen into a trap." Xiaogui and Li Forsythia have fought so many times, and now they are gradually understanding her style.
"Hey." Xu Yongzhi sighed softly, this woman's shadow had already made him feel a little angry.
"Even if it's a trap, we may have no choice." Xu Yongzhi said.
"No, husband," Xiao Gui stared at Xu Yongzhi and said, "Don't be reluctant, your current naval army, it's enough to help the infantry besiege Hangzhou, don't pursue Li Qigong, just play and cooperate, this is not your home field, forcing you to sneak in will be in danger, if Li Lianqiao is here, then there may be more monsters in Yangzhou City." ”
"Lady, what you said makes sense, but if these monsters and non-humans appear on the battlefield and directly kill and injure our army, how can we deal with it?"
"Withdraw the army, find a way with an uncle, ask your uncle for help when necessary, in short, there will be a way, this is not something you can do alone, this is not as simple as forty-seven horse thieves." Xiaogui said.
"Forty-seven horse thieves are not simple, I am afraid of death." Xu Yongzhi said.
Xiao Gui touched his face.
Fei Datou and Fei Yanggu entered the skinning hall.
"It's all arranged, my lord and lady can rest early, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning." Fei Yanggu said.
"I also saw it just now, the house behind this peeling hall is pickled and dangerous," Fei Datou said, "I found a clean house for my lord and my wife." ”
"It's hard work, big head." Xu Yongzhi said.
"My lord, I think you have something on your mind." Fei Yanggu said.
"In this matter, I don't know whether I should be more radical or conservative." Xu Yongzhi simply told Fei Yanggu about the situation.
"I think this matter can be decided outside the city, and we can observe the situation," Fei Yanggu said, "What worries me about my lord is the state of you when you sent those thieves. ”
Fei Yanggu saw it.
"I don't know if I'm too ruthless, I'm worried about being someone I don't even know." Xu Yongzhi said.
"My lord is merciful, if it were me, I would kill all the little bosses." Fei Yanggu said.
"Will it feel cruel?" Xu Yongzhi asked.
"Yes, but if you don't kill them, it may be us who will die," Fei Yanggu said, "I also dare to pick up so many soldiers because I detained their families, Bai Qi wanted to kill all the Zhao captives during the Warring States Period, and Xiang Yu wanted to kill all the Qin soldiers, which was very cruel, but as a person who led the troops, I can understand." ”
Xiaogui spoke at this time.
"I've actually been worried about whether your team will fall for receiving so many scumbags." Xiaogui said.
"Madame is too worried," Fei Yanggu said, "In fact, it is extremely rare for a group of brothers from the Bow and Arrow Society to be like ours, but it is extremely rare, and most of the army, whether it is Ma Chu, Nantang or Zhou, is composed of all kinds of hooligan ruffians. ”
"I understand, too." Xiaogui sighed.
"The official once told me the truth, he said that there are too many homeless people in this troubled world, all kinds of hooligans and ruffians scattered among the people, the world will be in chaos, and if you raise more soldiers, you will have fewer thieves." Xu Yongzhi thought about Zhao Kuangyin's words before he understood his deep meaning.
"But can the combat effectiveness of this soldier still be guaranteed?" Xiaogui said.
"It depends on discipline and the personal morality of the generals." Fei Yanggu said.
"Private morality, the most unreliable is private morality." Xiaogui said.
"So I serve the adult, there is a cold sternness when the adult decides, the enemy is afraid of him, but there is a desire for justice, this time to help Lao Huang take revenge, I can see the character of the adult. I think adults are the best kind of generals, and I can describe them in four words......" Fei Yanggu said.
"What four words?" Xiaogui asked.
"Hands are spicy and hearts are red." Fei Yanggu said.
"Don't be embarrassed." Xu Yongzhi said.
"The subordinates don't dare." Fei Yanggu said.
"On the surface, Qiu Yinlin and Qiu Xiaoyi may have felt that they were unlucky and provoked the wrong person until they died."
"But in the end, it's because of the loss of heart. Where there is a cause, there is an effect, and there are some things that you have to bear the cost of. ”
"I have also done things with a bad heart, although it is certainly not a bad thing like them, but I admit that I am full of selfish desires, and I am worried about myself, if I lose my heart, then sooner or later I will encounter the situation of causing the wrong person, and I have also paid a painful price."
"I have a little luxury, that is, everything I do after that will be said to future generations when I am dying, and I will not do that kind of thing that cannot be put on the table."
"I know it's hard, but I want to try, and I hope you guys can help me."
Fei Yanggu and Datou saluted Xu Yongzhi together.
"With my lord, I didn't make a mistake."
Everyone said goodnight, and Datou led Xiaogui and Xu Yongzhi to their residence.
Falling on the bed, Xu Yongzhi began to feel afraid, just now, he almost lost his favorite and most important person.
He shuddered when the uneasiness and panic came over him.
He could only hold Xiao Gui tightly in his arms and whisper his fear and uneasiness at that moment, Xiao Gui just responded to him with a kiss.
This is exactly what it is:
asked what the love in the world was, and muttered to his lover in the bed.
