Xiao Tian still remembers that a long time ago, he heard Xiao Darttou say that some people can only share hardships and cannot share prosperity.

At that time, he was still very naïve, and felt that this sentence was not right, since we could all share hardships and work together to get through the most difficult years, how could we not be rich and prosperous together?!

But now, reality has taught him the heaviest lesson.

In the past two years, Taichuzhai has gained a firm foothold in Jinzhou, and the territory has expanded faster and faster.

Once, he also raised his concerns with Xu Dajian, but Xu Dajian was very optimistic, and he also proposed to let himself be the king.

However, Xiao Tian felt that it was inappropriate.

How can it be so simple to open the king, they are just a group of rough people who were forced to occupy the mountain as kings.

As the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times.

Since ancient times, when a dynasty enters the end of its decline, it will inevitably come to a situation where the heroes are everywhere.

If Dasheng's government continues to be chaotic and the people are dissatisfied, they may be able to take advantage of the chaos to grab a piece of land, and even have the possibility of taking advantage of the chaos to fight.

Seeing that the situation in the court is getting better and better, the imperial court not only took the original Nanhuai, but also forced the Northern Yan people to retreat one after another, and it is a matter of time before they repel the Northern Yan.

He is the lord of a village, and his decisions will affect the future of tens of thousands of people in the village, and he cannot risk their lives for the so-called future.

Therefore, he objected to it, and also bluntly expressed his scruples in his heart.

At that time, Xu Dajian did not object again......

The matter was over, and he thought they had all reached a consensus.

At this moment, Dong Ying's terrible screams came from the front right: "Don't dream, Lao Tzu won't tell you anything!" There is a kind of killing Lao Tzu! ”

Xiao Tian came back to his senses and glanced in Dong Ying's direction, Dong Ying's right shoulder drooped at a strange angle, and his right shoulder was unjointed.

Xiao Tian's eyes were slightly dazed, and he withdrew his gaze.

Xu Dajian, like Dong Yingzhi and others, was fascinated by glory and wealth, and he couldn't give him the title he wanted, so he went to take refuge with the person who could give him these.

Xiao Tian actually knew that Xu Dajian had complained to others in private, saying that he was a woman's benevolence.

At that time, Xiao Tian had only heard it, and he was not angry, they had been brothers for so many years, born and died together, in his opinion, they were already close to relatives, and he only treated each other as just complaining casually.

Has it come to the point where he will not hesitate to die?

Years of brothers and years of friendship are so vulnerable in the face of glory and wealth......

The past flashed in front of him like a marquee, and Xiao Tian remembered that when he first arrived at the Zhenyuan Dart Game when he was a child, it was Xu Dajian, who was four years older than him, who taught him to take a horse and practice basic skills......

How many times have they come to this point!

Xiao Tian only felt as if his heart had been pressed against a stone, and he panicked, picked up the tea on the side and drank it all.

He played with the teacup in his hand, the corners of his lips slightly curved, as if he was careless.

Jun Lingxi listened intently, even though Xiao Tian didn't say much, she still understood, and she could see that he was not feeling good.

After all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and who can put it down lightly when betrayed by friends who have been friends for many years and believe in it!

Jun Lingxi patted Xiao Tian on the shoulder and comforted him with a big grin: "Manly man, in this life, it is inevitable that some bad things will happen. ”

Her words were very serious at first, but before she could say a serious word, she began to have a tendency to go crooked: "My father asked me a question before, what should you do if a mad dog bites you?" ”

"At that time, my father said, 'Why don't we also lie down and bite it.'"

Jun Lingxi leaned his face over and blinked, "Guess, what did I tell my father?" She had a "you ask me" expression, and her beautiful almond eyes flickered.

Xiao Tian asked very cooperatively, "Miss Jun, how did you answer?" ”

Jun Lingxi raised his chin triumphantly, clutched his fist and said, "I said, we can still fight back!" ”

Xiao Tian was stunned, and suddenly remembered Jun Lingxi's fierce appearance of slashing people with a sword in the east side hall before, and laughed out loud, leaning forward and leaning back with laughter.

"Hahahaha......"

"Well said!"

Xiao Tian stroked his palms and smiled.

Dong Ying's pig-like screams became more and more poignant and sharp, as if he was about to overturn the roof.

In this regard, the young general surnamed Pu was unmoved. They don't have any woman's kindness to the bandits.

The corner of the young man surnamed Pu hooked a sneer, and he unloaded Dong Ying's right shoulder, right knee, and left knee......

He started harder and faster every time.

Dong Ying, who had been stripped of several joints of his limbs, fell to the ground in a twisted and strange posture, and bright red blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth because of biting his lip and tongue.

The young general surnamed Pu was not in a hurry, and sneered: "It's a man, don't worry, we have eighteen kinds of torture, just do the same." ”

While speaking, a person squatted down and drove a nail into Dong Ying's fingernail with a smile.

Dong Ying's hoarse screams sounded in the hall again.

Immediately afterward, a second nail was also aimed at his index finger......

Dong Ying was really scared, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted in horror: "I'll recruit!" I'm recruiting! His face was as pale as white paper, without a trace of blood.

The young general surnamed Pu shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It's okay to be obedient early, and you can suffer less." ”

He flicked his fingers neatly, and the two of his subordinates dragged the muddy Dong Ying to Mu Yan.

Mu Yan didn't even bother to glance at Dong Ying, and asked directly: "How many people did you bring with you from Jinjiazhai to the area of Jianning Temple this time?" ”

Dong Ying's body was trembling uncontrollably, and he was kneeling unsteadily at the moment when he was unjointed, his posture was weird, and cold sweat slipped from the corners of his forehead.

He replied with difficulty: "Just these people, in order to hold Xiao Tian, they all came. Dong Ying glanced at Xiao Tian, with resentment and fear in his heart, and more incomprehension.

Who the hell are these people? They don't look like Xiao Tian's subordinates, nor are they from Taichuzhai, who are they?!

Mu Yan's right hand, which was holding the armrest, rubbed it carelessly, and then threw out the second question: "What is the next deployment?" ”

"......" Dong Ying's eyes flashed slightly, and he finished for a while.

This time, in order to take down Xiao Tian and Taichu Village, the King of Jin made a bloody investment and sent 3,000 people out of the village.

Just now he replied that all the people he brought this time were here, just to retain his strength, and he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that another team of people could come to save him.

But Mu Yan hit the nail on the head and asked about Jinjiazhai's next deployment, so Dong Ying didn't know how to answer.

Dealing with unobedient and disobedient prisoners of war, the young general surnamed Pu was very experienced, and he took a nail from his subordinates without smiling and stabbed it at Dong Ying's right hand.

"I say! I say! Dong Ying shouted in a panic and answered honestly, "A total of 3,000 people were sent this time. ”

Three thousand?!

Xiao Tian was also shocked when he heard this, and suddenly felt that his worth seemed to be quite high.

Dong Ying said as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and said: "This time, the King of Jin asked us to divide our troops into two routes, and the remaining 2,000 people are now camped at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain. ”

"The mission of the team led by Mu Laoqi and me to Jianning Temple is to kill Xiao Tian, then cut off Xiao Tian's head and hang it under Qingfeng Mountain."

"When the morale of Taichuzhai plummeted, 3,000 people took advantage of the chaos to take Qingfeng Mountain."

"I'm telling the truth!" Dong Ying's expression was panicked, and he was like two people who had crossed hands before, and at this moment he was just a jackal with his teeth pulled out.

Xiao Tian's lips pursed, and the baby's face became solemn.

Qingfeng Mountain is located at the junction of Jinzhou, Jizhou and Yuzhou, is a piece of territory that Taichuzhai has been operating for a long time, because its natural terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Jinjiazhai controls there, it is to attack and retreat to defend, if you take advantage of the situation to attack, it is impossible to take nearly half of the territory of Jinzhou in one fell swoop.

Mu Yan also knew this, and the corners of his lips were slightly curled.

The owner of this Jinjiazhai is not small.

It's a pity that he met himself.

Mu Yan didn't have any other questions, just looked at Xiao Tian and raised his eyebrows slightly, meaning, do you have anything else you want to ask?

Xiao Tian casually rubbed the teacup in his hand with his right hand and asked, "Dong Ying, when did you and Xu Dajian get online?" How do you usually get in touch? ”

Dong Ying couldn't wait to fight with Xiao Tian in his heart, and as soon as he faced him, a wave of resentment surged from the bottom of his heart, however, the situation was stronger than people, and the heart-piercing pain in his body reminded him that he was a prisoner at the moment.

Dong Ying suppressed the emotions in his heart and said to himself, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, anyway, Xu Dajian's matter, he has already said that he has leaked his mouth, and there is nothing to hide.

Dong Ying said in a dumb voice: "Xu Dajian took the initiative to contact King Jin in November last year, and took the thirty carts of grain and grass escorted by Taichuzhai as a gift for surrender. After that, the king of Jin arranged a dark pile in a silk and satin village in Zhangxian near Taichu Village, and as a liaison, Xu Dajian had something to do, so he went to the silk and satin village to find the dark pile to send a letter. ”

Xiao Tian's heart became more and more bitter.

Dong Ying's answer just verified his guess, Xu Dajian mentioned to him at the beginning of November last year about becoming the king.

In addition to the bitterness, there is more disappointment.

At the beginning, sixty of the brothers who escorted the thirty carts of grain and grass died, and at that time, Xu Dajian was still pretending in front of him that he wanted to avenge his brothers.

Since when did Xu Dajian no longer be the Xu Dajian who grew up with him in his memory.

Xiao Tian closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes had already returned to their original clarity.

It's useless to think too much, people have changed when they change, and there is no need to be nostalgic.

Xiao Tian yawned lazily and said, "Brother Yan, I don't have any other questions." ”

Mu Yan was about to wave his hand and signal someone to drag Dong Ying down, when someone came in from outside.

The square-faced young general hurriedly entered the side hall with a mustache.

"Childe forgives sins, the end will be too late." The mustachioed general strode forward and solemnly saluted Mu Yan with a fist.

The more than 200 elites that Mu Yan left in Daning County finally arrived.

Hearing that someone called himself the last general, Dong Ying was stunned, and his first reaction was that Mu Yan's group also proclaimed themselves kings like their Jinjiazhai, but what other cottage in Jinzhou had such a strong strength?

"Just in time." Mu Yan flicked his fingers casually, "At the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, there is a group of mountain bandits from Jinjiazhai, about two thousand people. Captain Zheng, you take someone to take it down! ”

After a pause, Mu Yan spit out four words in a cold tone: "Dead or alive!" ”

When Captain Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was as sharp as the unsheathed sword.

He originally thought that this time he came to Jinju just to loosen his muscles, but he didn't expect that there would be a battle, and the brothers should also train and train their soldiers!

"Yes, Childe." Captain Zheng immediately responded with his fists and was eager to try.

"Go now." Mu Yan waved his hand casually and asked Captain Zheng to go down.

Although there are 2,000 mountain bandits at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, they are just a rabble, and there is no need for Mu Yan to come forward in person, if the elite of the fire gun team of 300 people can't clean up these bandits, then they still find a piece of tofu to kill them.

"Don't worry, Childe." Captain Zheng saluted again, turned around and walked past Dong Ying, from beginning to end, he didn't look at Dong Ying, as if he didn't exist at all.

Dong Ying suddenly noticed the pair of boots that Captain Zheng was wearing.

This...... This is soap boots.

Only the people of the government wear soap boots!

Dong Ying's eyes instantly opened to the extreme, and what he originally thought was strange seemed to be explained all of a sudden.

This group of people is well-trained, this group of people has a large number of firearms, this group of people is of unknown origin, and this self-proclaimed last general, Captain Zheng......

I see!

This group turned out to be from the imperial court!

As if hot oil had been poured on his head, Dong Ying, who was originally sluggish, suddenly exploded, glaring at Xiao Tian viciously, his eyes almost erupting with fire.

"Xiao Tian, you ...... You actually took refuge in the imperial court and became a lackey of the imperial court! ”
