Chapter 034: Forced to Fight
Good steel is used on the blade, in the northern border due to the lack of military pay all the year round caused by low morale, the people are miserable, send a well-known general like Ye Haochuan and allocate a large number of military salaries, Emperor Yuan's plan is really wonderful.
However, no matter how clever and virtuous Yan Liwu is, she has never been able to establish a good impression of Emperor Yuan-not to mention that it is despicable to use her behavior when they meet for the first time, and it is ridiculous to be grateful to Emperor Yuan just by virtue of the treatment she has received now.
The well-paid army had no worries about food and clothing, but it was limited to the soldiers who went out to fight, and the exiled prisoners who followed behind lived an extremely miserable life.
Among those who were exiled were men, women, and children, including a family of three who had been convicted of murder. The three were originally rich and noble, the man inadvertently killed someone because of a drunken dispute with someone, and was hidden by his wife after absconding for fear of crime, but the sky net was restored and negligent, and the man regretted it after being captured. The young couple, who had no other relatives, took their young son with the army, who was about five or six years old and was very cute, and the exiled prisoners often secretly stuffed him with something to eat, but even so, the lack of food made the child cry with hunger all day long.
It was under such circumstances that the incident suddenly happened.
I can't remember how many evenings after leaving the imperial capital, the army was stationed in a wasteland to rest, and Yan Liwu received a pitiful piece of dry food from the soldiers guarding the prisoners, hid it quietly, and secretly delivered it to the woman.
The child was sick, and he fell ill because he couldn't stand the hunger and cold, and the pitiful appearance made many people cry.
On weekdays, a few well-wishers who often save food for the child are all around the child, and the withered face is deeply imprinted with worry, and they know that they have not eaten a few meals, and they all secretly give the dry food they saved to the child, even so, the child still has no signs of improvement.
The smell of aged rice came from the iron bowl hanging from the campfire, and the bubbling porridge was thin, but it was the rations that a few people had desperately saved.
The child's father trembled and held the porridge in front of the child, and the little boy opened his eyes slightly, looked at it, snorted, closed his eyes and fell asleep again. The child's mother looked at everyone blankly, her godless gaze seemed to be dead, and it was cold to see people's hearts. Yan Liwu took a deep breath, gently held the child's little hand, and closed his eyes to gently probe the pulse.
"It's very weak, it's not just a matter of the cold, I have to give him something salty, I'm afraid it will be ...... if I drag it on" The rest of the words were out of her mind, and she watched the child's mother slide down two large tears, sad and desperate.
"I've told the military masters several times, it's useless, I won't give anything, salt is so expensive, it's impossible to give it." Someone whispered.
Salt is one of the indispensable elements of the human body, especially when children are growing and developing, too little salt intake will cause symptoms such as weakness and dizziness in the limbs. Yan Liwu didn't know what the child's living conditions were before, but it was a fact that after so many days of marching, only dry food was enough to satisfy hunger.
Biting his lip and being silent for a long time, he suddenly got up and ran in the direction of the main general's tent without looking back.
No matter how expensive salt is, it is not as valuable as human life, and it is the same as a human being, so is it cheaper for a prisoner? She didn't want to be a bird of the head to attract attention, but circumstances forced her to do so, and if things were allowed to go unfolded, the poor child would surely die.
As the commander of the army and the soul of an army, there were naturally many soldiers guarding and watching outside the camp where General Ye Haochuan lived, and before he could get closer, four or five soldiers with spears in their hands rushed up with cold faces, blocking her way.
"I want to see the general at night, and I have something important to say to him." Yan Liwu stopped and said with a calm face.
"There are so many people who want to see the general, what are you? Get lost! One of the soldiers shouted on his toes, and shoved his spear across his spear.
Yan Li frowned, his footsteps turned, turned over and bypassed the spear and continued to run towards the camp, and the soldiers behind him who were stunned by her sudden action only reacted after a short time, shouted angrily, picked up the spear and stabbed at Yan Li Wei.
Regardless of whether these talents will cause death, in Dayuan, the prisoners are the lowest group of people, and even if they die, no one will pay attention to them, and no one will hold anyone accountable for this. Because of this totally unfair law, the soldier who stabbed at Yan Liwu viciously aimed at the back of her heart, while the others stood still and waited, waiting for Yan Liwu to scream and writhe in pain, waiting for the rare pleasure of the long journey.
There was a crisp sound, followed by a muffled pop, and the soldiers who were smiling and pointing a moment ago were stunned, looking at the front with an incredible look of incredulity—just as the spear was about to pierce into Yan Liwu's flesh and blood, Yan Liwu turned around sharply and tossed the spear aside, and before the soldier could react, the sudden huge force was thrown to the ground along with the spear, and he fell into a.
The kung fu learned in the drunken wind and snow moon building finally came in handy one day.
Who has no kung fu and skill level, those who know a little will know the depth at a glance, and the other soldiers easily threw the big man who was much stronger than her to the ground when they saw the words, and immediately raised their vigilance, not daring to take the seemingly weak woman in front of them lightly.
"I want to see General Night." The words are still the same sentence.
This time, the soldiers didn't dare to continue to be arrogant, glanced at each other, and swallowed violently: "I have to report to General Ye, General Ye has already rested at this time, if there is anything, you can ask again tomorrow!" ”
"It's urgent, I can't wait for tomorrow."
It wasn't that Yan Liwu didn't see them glaring at each other and quietly dispersed, it seemed that they wanted to sneak attack from several sides at the same time, but in such a flat open space, it was not so easy to catch her. Pretending not to notice the movements of those people, Yan Liwu turned around and continued to walk briskly in the direction of the tent, but the corners of his ears and eyes were extremely vigilant.
Sure enough, the moment she completely turned her back to the soldiers, three people swooped down from different directions.
The sparks were dazzling in the night, and the iron shackles used to restrain the exiled prisoners were now turned into defensive weapons, parrying the stabbing spears and wielding them to force the enemy back.
Yan Liwu was vigilant and retreated, approaching the camp step by step, and the soldiers who did not take advantage of the slightest advantage in front could only follow closely, not daring to rush forward. However, the situation was not optimistic, and the brief fight between several people attracted the attention of the other soldiers, and gradually, more and more soldiers moved closer to the encirclement.
"One by one, they don't stand guard well, what are they messing around over there?" A loud shout came, and the soldiers who surrounded the soldiers who were worried about it trembled and their faces changed, and they froze and looked bitterly in the direction of the camp.
Yan Liwu didn't dare to turn around and relax his guard, but his surprise and curiosity couldn't be stopped-
How can there be a woman in the barracks? It seems that I have not heard of any female generals in Obyss, or that women have been recruited into the army.
The soldier standing in front of Yan Liwu nervously turned the spear in his hand, and a soft sound sounded in his throat: "Aunt, aunt, there are prisoners who want to break into the camp tent at night!" ”
Auntie? What kind of mess is this? The woman who spoke just now should be very young when she heard her voice, how did she become an aunt? As the doubts in his heart expanded, the impulse of the sneak peek tickled his heart to leave the worries, but he had to be vigilant and on guard.
"A prisoner, look at what scares you. Get out of the way, I'll come! ”
The crisp voice landed, and a figure broke into Yan Li's line of sight, and it turned out to be a young woman in men's clothes. The woman's eyebrows are beautiful, her skin is like plain snow, her eyes are big and bright, and she has a domineering momentum on her body.
"You're going to break into the camp at night? Do? The woman looked at Yan Li, her eyes full of suspicion.
Seeing the soldiers retreating, Yan Li also put down his shackles and looked at the woman: "I have something important to find General Night - I don't want to make trouble, I just want to see him." ”
"General Night has rested, you can tell me anything." The woman gave Yan Liwu a glimmer of hope, paused, and then turned the topic to the side, "But you have to fight with me before you say it, otherwise I won't listen to anything!" ”
The words were dumbfounded.
It's just that I just want to see the night general, do I have to go through five levels and kill six generals, and fight in the ring for most of the day? Besides, what is it about two women fighting in front of everyone in the barracks, tearing their hair, scratching their faces and scuffling into a ball for others to see?
With an embarrassed face, Yan Li shook his head: "I won't fight you, I just want to see General Ye." Human lives are at stake, there is no time to delay! ”
"Since human life is at stake, don't bother!"
The woman didn't give Yan Liwu a chance to speak at all, raised her hand, and a white light flashed, rushing straight towards Yan Liwu. Because the speed was too fast, Yan Liwu didn't see clearly what weapon the woman was holding in her hand, and seeing that the other party was fierce and had no merciful intentions, he could only raise the iron shackles in a hurry to block.
Keng——
The gold and iron collided and burst out a few sparks, and then Yan Liwu felt that his hands fell, and the iron shackles were cut off from it!
The woman stopped after cutting off the iron shackles, and a long sword fell neatly into the sheath: "Okay, now that you are unrestrained, you can have a good fight with me - with a weapon or with empty hands?" ”
It seems that the woman has to fight. Yan Liwu didn't want to spend too much time entanglement, so he had no choice but to nod: "Empty hands, I'm not used to holding weapons." ”
"Okay."
An inexplicable fight begins abruptly under strange circumstances, and she tries her best to deal with the woman, but as time passes, she gradually finds herself more and more at a disadvantage - Xiao Fengyue taught her kung fu to focus on ferocious attacks, but she doesn't want to hurt anyone, so when the woman presses with one move at a time, her fragile defenses become vulnerable.
The dying child was still waiting for her to save her life, and there was no time to spend time here, and after several hesitations, Yan Liwu finally made up his mind to turn defense into offense, and shook his body to dodge a frontal attack, and suddenly approached the woman's body, and slashed down fiercely with his palm as a knife.
That palm is cohesive, and if it is chopped down, it will definitely hurt people.
Seeing that the other party was caught off guard and her face was discolored, she couldn't hold her hand while regretting it, and was panicking about how to change the direction and stagger this palm, when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and eliminated a hurtful crisis invisibly.
