Chapter 7: The Enemy's Ambush (2)
We hurried up to the ranks of the army.
"Well, this is the only amount of silver I have, and when I get to Lanzhou City, I'll add some clothes to myself. After all, you can't stay in the Li family army all the time, and when you wait until the gods of Shangdu are gone, you will have to make a living by yourself. She pulled a small money bag out of her sleeve and handed it to me.
"So what are you going to do?"
"Li Jiajun will stay in Lanzhou City for seven days, and a few of us will stay for three days, and then ......" She saw me with a pair of big eyes, "You better think about yourself first!" Lingniang smiled.
"Me? I'm just going to travel all over the world happily by myself! β
I must find Li Rongqi, kill him, and avenge Daddy and Fourth Brother.
Passing through a dangerous place, one side is a high rock, the bamboo forest is thick, and the other side is a loess high platform, and the army team is in the middle, and the road is a little narrow. The sonorous footsteps raised the yellow sand piece by piece.
"Ahem, ahemβ" I waved my hand at the flying sand raging in front of me.
Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound overhead, as if something was shuttling through the bamboo forest. I looked up and saw several black-clad masked men lying in ambush in the bamboo forest, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Sure enough, before I could react, two huge stones were thrown down along the rock wall, and the rumbling sound disturbed the infantry behind. Suddenly there was a chaos, and there was a cavalry in front of him to report: "Everyone, pay attention! There is an enemy in ambush! At the sound of the order, everyone ran to the high platform, but there were still a few recruits who had just joined the army who were not flexible and were stoned to death.
I panicked as I watched as a soldier in front of me tried to resist the power of the boulder on his own, only to be crushed to death, crushed to death under the boulder. Others were stoned to death in order to help their companions, and the blood splashed out at once, and soon merged with the loess, and a scream lingered around them.
The ground was shaking violently, and if I wasn't careful, I would fall to the ground, and my head would be dizzy. The black-clad masked man not only threw stones at us, but also shot us with arrows.
"Xingyueβ"
Lingniang was calling me, and the two of us were running towards each other, but a boulder rolled down and exploded in the middle of us, and I was so shocked by the huge impact that I flew out, and the yellow sand flew up and I couldn't see anything clearly. Suddenly my body lightened, as if someone had picked me up, and I looked down at my arm, and then at the man.
It turned out to be one of the black-clad masked men.
I looked at the side of his face, and only a pair of eyes showed a little, which were somewhat familiar, but I just couldn't remember them for a moment.
He carried me onto a horse, and then kicked me in the belly and set off in the opposite direction from the army.
Along the way, I kept trying to break free, and the devil knew if this man was here to save me or murder me, or if I had to run away first. But that man not only trapped me to death, but also threatened me: "If you don't want to die, settle down!" β
I have never heard such a hoarse and deep voice, this person must be a gangster!
When he was in a safer place, he dragged me off the horse, and prepared to tie my hands with ropes, but for some reason he suddenly stopped using ropes and let me stay here. If I ran away, he would block my path with his sword, point it at my neck, and slowly slash my face with his sword. This is clearly a naked threat!
"You, youβ" I jumped up in anger and pointed at him with my finger, "Do you know who my eldest brother is!" If you dare to hurt me a single hair, my eldest brother will come with thousands of horses, pick your skin, pull your tendons, and throw you into the wolf forest to feed the wolves! β
The man was indifferent, just sat down slowly, took a cloth from his clothes, and carefully wiped the blade of the sword.
I fled, but was hit in the knee by a stone and fell to the ground in disarray.
I glared at him, "You damn scoundrel! My second brother is a bronze hammer martial god! As far as your three-legged cat kung fu, if you were caught by my second brother, you would have been hanged alive with a copper hammer and iron chain! β
Seeing that he was still indifferent and calm, I continued to threaten him: "I still have a good friend, he rides a horse and shoots archery to say second, but no one dares to say first!" If you let me go, you won't be -"
"Trampled to death by horses' hooves, killed by arrows, huh?" After he finished wiping his sword, he looked up at me.
He actually knows what I'm going to say, what is the origin of this person?
"Okay, today you want to kill or chop, just let the horse come!" He let out a cold snort from his nose, as if to laugh at me, and then shook his head again.
"Hey, don't look down on me, I used to be a man with a head and a face, but it's just a ......" At this moment, my stomach barked a few times from time to time. I am so uncompetitive in front of the enemy.
I really wanted to find a hole in the ground, it was so embarrassing.
At some point, he handed me a packet of fragrant shaved lamb bones. I'm afraid this person is not the illusionist that the Central Plains people say, or the kind that can do tricks?
"I'm not going to let you die without a head or a face." The cold sentence made me gobble up my face in an instant, and gave him a blank look. But it's okay that I can eat my favorite things before I die.
Alas, I've fallen to this point.
Just as I had finished gnawing on the shaved bone, an arrow suddenly came at me, and the man in black immediately struck it with his sword, and then alertly put his sword on my neck.
Lingniang flew over with a light effort, and the man in black immediately let me go and began to fight with Lingniang.
I opened my mouth wide in surprise, I didn't expect Lingniang to be able to do martial arts.
The man in black swung his sword over, Lingniang bent down to dodge, and took two steps back with an unstable center of gravity, and I cheered for her on the side: "Lingniang! Kill him, kill him! Hmph, you damn fellow, let you threaten me with your sword! β
After a few rounds, the man in black seemed to be unable to fight, so he ran. Lingniang suddenly found a small sign on the ground, so she leaned over and picked it up, I also took a closer look, only to see Lingniang sweating profusely and muttering to herself: "Senluo faction, when I competed with him, it was obvious that I was not his opponent, that person didn't seem to have any intention of killing me, and this brand should have been deliberately left by him." β
She thought for a moment, "You get on the horse first, and then find a way to give this sign to General Li Fei or General Chen Fei." With that, she followed in the direction where the man in black had left.
I got on the horse with the sign. I hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, but now sitting on the back of the horse felt very familiar and friendly, the horse was running hard, although it made me feel like I was about to fly out, but the wind blowing on my face made me miss it very much.
The horses ran past the place where they had just been bombarded with rocks, and there were rivers of blood everywhere they went.
"Drive!" I kicked the horse's belly hard, and I could see Li Jiajun's team immediately.
The sun was hot, and suddenly I felt like I was about to suffer from heat stroke. I'm trying to stay awake, this brand must be something very important, and I must give it to Li Di.
As the horses ran and ran, I felt beads of sweat fall on my eyelashes and my vision blurred.
Finally, in the midst of the darkness, I was able to find the figure of the red cloak, "General Liβ" I called him weakly, only to feel weak and weak.
"Star and Moon Girl!" It was the voice of General Chen Fei.
When the horse stopped, the person in front of him could no longer see clearly. I struggled to pull the sign out of my shirt and passed out.
I was so tired, I felt like I was leaning into a broad embrace, riding on a horse. It's like when I was a kid and I was very tired and tired, Daddy hugged me, I leaned on his chest, time became very slow, I could only hear my own breathing, and then I fell asleep like this, not wanting to wake up.
A rich aroma of rouge mixed with sandalwood hit my nose, and I opened my eyes with a frown, and four familiar faces magnified before my eyes. It is Xie Niang, Sichuan Niang, Bai Niang and Wan Niang. I also found myself in a scarlet shirt.
I sat up in shock, and they were all staring at me suspiciously, or hiding their faces with their fans and smiling.
"You... Why are you looking at me like that, is there something strange growing on me? I touched my face.
One said: "How can you be so blessed to be able to sit on General Li's war horse and be carried all the way back." β
One said: "General Chen just ordered someone to bring you a bowl of pear soup to relieve the heat." β
One said: "You don't have a face that captivates the country and the city, nor do you have a graceful figure like me, I really don't know why General Li treated you like this, or did you say that you gave General Li some tricks?" β
One said, "When will it be my turn to do such a good thing-"
"No, no, no, it's not what you think......" I said with a smirk.
Chuan Niang patted my forehead with a fan: "Don't hide it, who doesn't have a person on the top of their hearts?" She began to laugh coquettishly again.
"Li Yuan is the dignified general of Jinwu, I am just a girl with no head and no face under the fence, how can I have this ability to like people......" I lowered my head and whispered more and more, until the last few words were silent. I can't imagine that I am the dignified princess of Zanghu, the pearl of my father's palm, and I don't even have this kind of courage.
"Hmph, it's good that you know." Xie Niang glanced at me and left. The others just used this as a talking point, and then they started to do other things on their own, powdering powder, and leaving.
But when I remembered that it was Li Di who was holding me just now, I felt a joy like honey in my heart.
I looked around, but I couldn't see Lingniang.
"Wanniang, have you ever seen Lingniang?"
Chuan Niang, who was grooming in the mirror, said while thrushing: "I was handed over by General Li, what's the matter, I'm jealous?" β
"Don't make fun of me......" I grabbed the corner of my scarlet shirt.
"You're a good fit for red, though." She looked at me with a smile and I looked down at the clothes, I loved this kind of red shirt when I was a child, but the older I got, the more casual it becomes.
From the mouth of Chuan Niang, we learned that we have arrived in Lanzhou City, which is the residence of the doctor of Dahuanzuo, because we are military prostitutes, we should have lived in the camp with the soldiers, but I don't know why we were arranged in a relatively remote courtyard in the house.
