Chapter 283: The Great Tribulation Doesn't Die

In the quiet mountain forest in the afternoon, the birds are lazily pulling their wings and standing on the branches.

The man brushed aside the branches of the shrubs that had obstructed him and stepped over the two clearly marked hunting pits.

At the end of his line of sight was a fountain of water, the water was clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and emerald leaves.

The man stepped forward, squatted down and picked up a handful of cold spring water and threw it on his face, the cold and refreshing feeling shocked the man's spirit, and he slapped his cheek again, and suddenly, he seemed to hear something.

This place was deep in the mountains and forests, and wild beasts were frequent, and they had to be cautious when they came here in the past, and he stopped his movements and looked around when he heard the moaning sound that seemed to be somewhat similar to that of a human.

The surrounding bushes are dense, and there are no wild beasts to be found.

Still uneasy, he got up and looked at it, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Did you hear it wrong? The man thought about it, squatted down and untied the water bladder around his waist.

Boom............

The water bladder that had just been unplugged quickly sank into the fountain.

The man trembled, his trembling mouth slowly opened, and in the water spring, this figure covered in blood was reflected.

Before his scream could slip out of his mouth, a bloody hand covered his mouth and dragged him into the bushes.

The man struggled in fear, but his six-foot body could not fight against this sturdy man, and as soon as he entered the bushes, a group of people surrounded the man, some of them were trained to take out ropes woven of rattan and tie the man's hands and feet, and some of them untied their blood-stained belts and stuffed them into the man's mouth.

The previous time I saw a large group of soldiers and horses from the official road to Jinzhou to suppress bandits, they have lived here for a long time with a playful and ridiculous mentality, Jinzhou is a bandit bandits, but their area is safe, at least they have lived here for decades and have not seen a few bandits, but where did he expect that he was just careless and would fall into someone else's way.

He shouted as hard as he could, but the shouts were only his feeble whispers.

Struggling and desperate, he had to calm down, he looked around, there were hundreds of people dressed in cloth clothes covered in blood, and all of them were not as fierce and vicious as the bandits, but they were all wounded, could it be that these people were the rebels that Jinyiwei said? I'm heading for General Shen! Grabbing the straw, he began to whine again.

"What to do!" The man who had just dragged him into the bushes asked the middle-aged man sitting in the haystack.

"Look like this, it's not Jinyiwei!" The middle-aged man looked at him and painfully tied the strip of cloth around his hand.

"That'...... Now that Jinyiwei is searching the mountains outside, it will definitely not work if he releases it! Another middle-aged man sitting next to the middle-aged man said.

"Why don't you wait for the general to wake up and then make a clear statement!"

An older man lying on the grass said.

"There is no need to trouble the general for such a trivial matter! You! The middle-aged man who finally tied the cloth belt by himself spat out the crumbs in his mouth, glanced at him and made a look. I'll let you speak for the time being, and if you dare to shout, be careful of your own life!" Nod your head if you agree! ”

It was the panic and anxiety that he hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic.

The middle-aged man made a gesture with a man standing beside him, who stepped forward and took out the bloody belt in his mouth.

He only felt that a stream of acid water in his stomach was flooding his throat, and he spit out two mouthfuls of saliva, seeing the blood-colored phlegm he spit out and the eyes of the people around him, he forced down his nausea and swallowed the rest of the saliva painfully.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man asked unhurriedly.

"I am a citizen who lives outside this mountain forest, this time I went into the mountains to cut down trees, and I happened to be thirsty to come here to draw water, I will not tell you about your whereabouts, and please let your heroes spare my life!"

He shifted his bound feet and bowed to the middle-aged man who spoke.

The middle-aged man looked at him, slowly took out the sword behind him, and drew it. "Now that you know who we are, you can't leave! Even if we let you out, you won't be able to escape the poisonous hands of Jinyiwei! ”

Born in poverty, where did he suffer such a fright, he was suddenly flustered, and his mind was blank.

"Don't dare to hide it from you, Jinyiwei has already searched the place where we said we lived, and it was because Jinyiwei kicked and broke the door of my house that I came to cut down the tree, I know that you are all heroes of Dahe, and General Shen is the pillar of my Dahe, this matter must be a conspiracy of some people, we are all on General Shen's side, this master is good, I still have a wife and children at home!"

"There are only two ways for you to go, follow us, or die here, we don't want to add killing, but we can't exchange the lives of those 2,000 people for your life!"

The middle-aged man drew his sword out of its sheath, got up and walked in front of him.

"Since you believe that we are innocent, please do your part to uphold justice! We can't thank you enough! We have already handed over life and death to the general, it doesn't matter if we die, but the general has shed blood for the court all his life, and he must not die so unjustly! ”

The middle-aged man plunged his sword into the dirt and knelt under his stunned gaze.

"This ...... This general, although I am just a small people, but I also understand what is right and wrong, I swear to the sky that I will never reveal this matter, if you violate this oath, the sky thunders, and please show mercy to the general's subordinates! With his hands tied behind his back, he knelt and kowtowed.

"Since you are unwilling to follow us, then I can only be a wicked person once, brother, if there is hatred, I will be a cow and a horse for you when I go to Huangquan in the future!" As soon as he kowtowed, the middle-aged man pulled out the sword in his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands.

The soldiers around them held their breath, their gloomy gazes locked on the slowly falling swords, and many gritted their teeth and left tears of pain.

"Stop!"

The weak and angry voice behind the bushes made the weeping soldier hurriedly bow his head, and Shen Ke, who was helped out by a soldier, knocked the middle-aged man's sword to the ground.

"Our swords are for defending our homeland, not for killing the people of Oga!"

Yesterday's battle, Shen Ke tried his best to stab half of the throat sealing sword into Zhu Ge's chest at the end, Zhu Ge died, and he was also hit in the chest again and fell into a coma, if it weren't for the two thousand soldiers and the more than 10,000 soldiers who were covering behind him to escort him away, he might have died on the shore of Yanliu Lake, and he would definitely bring heavy damage to Dahe again.

"General!" As soon as Shen Ke came out, the crowd was silent, and although the middle-aged man was knocked off his sword, he didn't dare to be dissatisfied, and he only had worry about Shen Ke's injury in his eyes.

"This brother! Thank you for believing in us! Shen Ke bent his knees and wanted to kneel, but the soldiers who were supporting him anxiously increased their strength to stop Shen Ke's movements: "General, your wound~"

"It's okay!" Shen Ke struggled hard, broke free from the soldier's support, and knelt down thinking about him. "Up to now, Shen Ke and the others are at the end of their rope, if there is disrespect, I will accompany you on his behalf, please forgive me! You still don't loosen your ties to him! ”

The soldier was stunned, no one dared to move, Shen Ke got up with a frown, and slowly walked in front of him to untie the rope for him.

"Shen Ke and the others are sheltering here, please keep your brother shut!"

The man who was frightened first was flattered and kowtowed to Shen Ke, who was covered in bloody clothes and ragged, and could no longer see that there was half a piece of good meat on his naked body, and kowtowed to Shen Kesan with tears in his eyes.

"General Shen is so benevolent and righteous, the villain is grateful!"

"Get up! I'm not a general anymore, I'm just a thief spurned by the whole country! Shen Ke weakly raised his right arm and motioned to the soldiers on both sides to help people up.

"General Shen don't give up on himself, we all believe that General Shen is innocent, because he has a wife and children at home, the villain can't follow General Shen with peace of mind, but the villain is also willing to do something for the hero in his heart, if General Shen doesn't give up, I can find a better place for you to live!"

As soon as these words came out, the gloomy eyes of the tired and helpless soldiers suddenly brightened.

They escaped from the capital and were chased and killed by Jinyiwei all the way, and now they are hiding here and don't dare to appear under the sun at all, with Jinyiwei's search speed, they will find this place sooner or later, and more importantly, Shen Ke's current injury is not optimistic, and he urgently needs a place to recuperate and also needs medicinal treatment, if he can find a safe place to live, he will be able to solve their urgent need.

"Why should we believe you?" The middle-aged man asked rhetorically in a low voice.

"I vouch for my life." He stretched out his hand and swore to the heavens.

Shen Ke raised his hand painfully and patted him on the shoulder, and suppressed all the questioning voices with his gaze: "I believe in you!" ”
