Passing through layers of bushes, beneath an inconspicuous cliff, I saw a cave that could only accommodate one person crawling in.

It looks like a dog hole, very narrow, a little bigger, and probably going to get stuck.

Jin Yiwei said: "Master, this is it." ”

"Are you going to crawl in?"

"Yes, crawl in." He said.

I gritted my teeth and climbed in, but as soon as I got inside, I saw a burst of fire, and it turned out that there was a cave that extended into the ground, and the cave was very deep, and when the road reached the bottom, it was a spacious underground cavern.

This place is the size of two basketball courts, and the villagers are in it at this time.

Most of the people in the crowd were injured, and everyone was resting here, looking very weak.

"Xianggong!" An exclamation, from far and near, I saw that it was Pan Jinlian coming.

When she saw me, she immediately buried herself in my arms, and I hugged her firmly: "It's okay, it's okay......"

"But my dad ...... My mother, they ......," Pan Jinlian looked back.

I found out that Pan Lao was covered with injuries all over his body, fortunately all flesh wounds, but a middle-aged woman under forty next to him was not very good, one of her arms was gone, and it was scorched, which was obviously caused by this fire.

It turned out that when the Qin army came, Wei Zhongxian's Jinyi guard was nearby to listen to the news, and when he found out that the Qin army was coming, he notified everyone here.

Some people who didn't believe the news refused to leave, but Qin Jun didn't reason with people, the flames spread, and basically those who didn't leave were engulfed in flames.

Of the more than 300 people in the village, only a third came out, which is also embarrassing.

I said, "Where did Zhong Liyi go?" ”

"General Zhong took the soldiers and horses and went to Chai County first, after all, when we people dealt with the Qin people, it was to hit the stone with an egg, and the villagers dragged their families and didn't have time to retreat, so they hid in this deep mountain." Jia Xu said.

I clenched my fists, I said: "It's Xiang Yu who wants to kill us, in comparison, we are just his pawns, dispensable, now we are in a very bad situation, I originally planned to cooperate with Xiang Yu, but that Xiang Yu seems to have the so-called nine consecutive fierce generals, and we are very low." ”

I told the story of what had happened, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation and indignation.

Wei Zhongxian said: "My lord, in fact, you don't have to choose Xiang Yu to take refuge in the Chu State......

"Oh?"

"Don't forget, the lord has a good impression of the lord now, and the king of Chu Huai is very jealous of Xiang Yu, if the lord goes to join King Chu Huai, how can King Chu Huai not accept it?!" Wei Zhongxian said.

Jia Xu looked at him: "Duke Wei's words are wrong, you must know that now that the lord and Xiang Yu have torn their faces, can An have a good result?" ”

"Mr. Jia, if you think about it carefully, this action was Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng's idea, right? Who is the real leader of Xiang Jiajun now? ”

"Xiang Liang."

"That's right, Xiang Liang is a person who takes care of the overall situation, if Xiang Liang leads, he will inevitably protect the lord, and this big thing is small, and it is a small matter, they don't need to contradict each other because of such a dispute, after all, in front of Qiang Qin, the unity of Chu is the real ...... Now that Xiang Yu is young and vigorous, he naturally won't take care of the overall situation, but he listens to his uncle. Wei Zhongxian said.

Jia Xu frowned: "Suppose, what if this Xiang Liang knows the inside story?" That lord went to seek refuge with King Chu Huai, which was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it was impossible for King Chu Huai to offend Xiang Jiajun, the backbone of the Chu army, because the lord whose wings were not yet full. ”

"It's a gamble, just bet on whether the loud will take into account the overall situation." Wei Zhongxian said without hesitation.

The two wise generals obviously have integrity.

I said, "There are only two things we have to do now, the first one is ...... Raise the banner of the people of Chu, and the second is to eliminate the tyrannical Qin...... In fact, we don't have to deal with the Qin State, nor do we necessarily deal with the Xiang family's army, we have another chance. ”

"What chance?" The crowd looked at me.

I said: "Don't forget, now the imperial court is looking for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, these two are also very important existences, the imperial court will inevitably send people to hunt down, and we are now going to save people, these two people lack fierce generals, but what they lack the most is manpower." ”

The two of them looked at me and nodded their heads, and Jia Xu said, "The lord is wise." ”

At sunset, Jinyi Wei came to report, saying that the Qin army had left, and it was raining heavily, so I took everyone to the ruins of the village, and saw the scorched corpses all over the place, a scene of purgatory on earth.

Many villagers couldn't control their emotions and broke down and cried, no wonder this burned place was their home.

"Huan'er......" Pan Jinlian hugged a charred corpse and cried.

I went over and said, "Jin Lian, what's going on......

"She's my maid, my personal maid...... I couldn't find her, I didn't expect her to ...... Woo woo woo ...... "Jin Lian burst into tears, and I wanted to comfort me at this time, but I couldn't find any good excuse for a while, so I had to give up.

After clearing the mess and burying all the people who should be buried, when everything was ready, suddenly a child came over with a stone.

I didn't dodge, and the child's stone hit me in the face.

A woman next to him immediately protected the child and stopped him, not to mention him.

But he scolded: "It's all you, nothing good happened when you came to our village...... My sister, my sister she was ...... Woowoo woo ......"

There was a charred corpse lying beside him.

"You little bastard!" As he spoke, Peng Yue rolled up his sleeves and picked up the big knife.

The huge knife made the child's face pale.

I immediately said, "Brother, don't hurt these innocent villagers. ”

"But...... But I also know the ins and outs of the matter, if it weren't for you coming here, big brother, I'm afraid that Xu Ziling before would have turned this village upside down, and he didn't kill less! Peng Yue said angrily.

I raised my head and said, "But I killed most of the villagers, and I am a sinner......

"Big brother, why are you so stupid, it's not you who is guilty, it's that Xiang Yu, if it weren't for Xiang Yu's personal vendetta and the Qin army that attracted it, the people here wouldn't have died, it's their bastards, big brother, you are righteous, if you hadn't brought Wei Zhongxian, there would still be a living mouth here? It's all the brocade guards who got the information in advance, and we just escaped, so they don't thank you...... Now it's even worse, and it's ...... Also ......" Peng Yue trembled angrily.

I walked up to Jin Lian, and I said, "Jin Lian, are you going to ......?"

"I'm not leaving." Jin Lian bit her lip and slowly raised her head, "Xianggong, I can't go, my father needs me, and everyone here needs me...... When I leave, there will be no one to treat their bodies, the village doctor has been burned to death, and I am the only one left who can treat people. ”

"You're going to ...... Leave me? I grabbed my chest with one hand and looked at her in pain.

Jin Lian burst into tears: "Xianggong, this is the first time I feel the existence of family affection, my father...... My mother, they love me very much, if I had to choose, I would ...... I want to choose family, and if I choose love, they will all hurt, then ...... Then I'd rather not! ”

Boom!

It was as if my heart had been hit hard, and my whole body froze in place.

At this moment, it was as if the sky had darkened, and this feeling was almost crazy, almost desperate.

Jin Lian and I have been all the way to the Water Margin battlefield, and it can be said that she is my closest person on the Chu and Han battlefields, but now she is ......

"Okay......" I let out a long sigh and took out a thousand taels of gold from my bosom, which I had collected on the Water Margin battlefield and had been storing them, ready to be used as military resources for this place.

But nowadays, it has a much more important purpose.

Jin Lian unceremoniously took the gold, and she took it very decisively.

Although I was in pain, I was quickly relieved that this was the battlefield...... I don't know what disaster will happen to me next, and now that Jin Lian has left me, it is not a farewell, at least she is safe.

It's not ...... The woman in it, following the man and never abandoning it, it is just a fairy tale of people, and this is the reality, this is a killing, at this time, Jin Lian's heart can no longer bear any pressure, and leaves...... Maybe that's a good thing.

She kept her head down, afraid to look at me.
