After being rescued by Bai Qingfeng and others, Lan Jing'an finally escaped smoothly and escaped death again.

Although Yuwen Junping was pressed very tightly by the Northwest Army, they were actually more numerically than the Northwest Army, so they still supported it for a while. Even if Yuwen Junping could not defeat the army here, after all, Wu Daoming's rescue was timely and did not lead to any serious consequences, and Dayong's army still successfully retreated to the other side.

With the departure of the Dayong army, Xiangyang City once again regained its tranquility. But Lan Jing'an, who had just entered the city, galloped wildly, not daring to slow down a little, on the way back, she had already heard Bai Qingfeng say that the east gate was dangerous when it was breached, and the most fatal thing was Yuwen Junping's arrow.

At that critical moment, although Yuwen Junping failed to shoot Lu Min, Pang Tu, who pushed Lu Min away, was shot through the chest and lungs by a sharp arrow. Pang Tu was hit by an arrow, but he continued to fight until he was stabbed multiple times and finally fell on the battlefield. After the reinforcements came, although Lu Min ordered someone to send him back to Jiang Xianlin, the general's mansion, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

When Lan Jing'an rushed back to the General's Mansion, the house was full of sorrows, and she forced her tears to rush to the room where Pang Tu was. Lu Min and the others were all there, and before Lan Jing'an could ask, Jiang Xianlin had already waved his hand at her sadly, making Lan Jing'an feel desperate.

When Lu Min saw her coming, he didn't care about etiquette, and anxiously brought her to Pang Tu's bed: "General Pang has been holding on to his breath, just to wait for the big secretary to come back." ”

Pang Tu, who had been stabbed more than a dozen times, was now covered in blood and lying weakly on the bed. This tall and sturdy man who is nine feet tall has always appeared in front of Lan Jing'an in the image of the god of war, although the two had a misunderstanding and friction at the beginning, but he accompanied her to guard this place when Xiangyang was the most difficult.

His bravery makes people forget his age, and he also forgets that he can be injured and die. Lan Jing'an didn't know the cruelty of war, and she was also very sad when the Tun Cavalry Captain died before. But seeing Pang Tu lying on the bed like this, no matter how hard she endured, there was still water in her eyes, and her heart was full of grief.

Lan Jing'an leaned over to Pang Tu and bent down: "General Pang, what do you want to tell me?" Pang Tu's eyes lit up, and his chapped lips twitched slightly. Everyone saw that this was his last return. Even Jiang Xianlin, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, turned his head and couldn't bear to take another look.

Pang Tu tried his best to say his last words intermittently: "The great priest's life... Peaceful... Good... Found it... Sister... ”

Before the words were finished, he had run out of oil and lamps, and his breath was dying, and only a pair of eyes were still empty. The iron-clad young general finally left the world in the company of Lan Jing'an and others. Heroes come out of youth, even if Pang Tu has all kinds of ambitions, in the end he still failed to see the completion of the great cause of the cadres.

Lan Jing'an looked straight at Pang Tu's unclosed eyes, and his hearty smile appeared in front of him again. The boy who accompanied her on patrol, fought with her, and promised to smear her liver and brain, died in front of her eyes. Until the last moment, he was still worried about the safety of her great commander.

Lan Jing'an's tears couldn't be controlled anymore, they dripped down and fell on Pang Tu's pillow. She solemnly swore in her heart: "Don't worry, I will find a sister for you and fulfill my wish." ”

Lan Jing'an bent over, motionless for a long time. She tried hard a few times before she got up with red eyes and slowly closed her eyes for Pang Tu. Then, he turned around and said softly to the people in the room, "General Pang, go." ”

The people standing in the room are all the generals of the cadre army who have been fighting for many years, listening to Lan Jing'an's words, even if he understands that dying on the battlefield is the glory of a soldier, but he is still extremely sad in his heart, and Lu Min is even more tearful, and it is difficult to help himself.

Lan Jing'an herself also had injuries on her body, although the wound on her right arm had been hastily bandaged on the way back, but after some tossing, the blood had already stained the white veil red. But how can the injury on her right arm be as painful as her heart at this time? She took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness in her heart, and ordered others to bury Pang Tu with the gift of a general.

Lan Jing'an arranged for Jiang Xianlin to see Xie Weining's master and servant to see the injury, the two of them almost risked their lives for Xiangyang this time, so she naturally couldn't let them have an accident. Before she could arrange anything else, she heard that the infantry captain led the people and Jiang Shaoheng and others to fight in the front yard of the General's Mansion.

Lan Jing'an led people to hurry to the front yard, and she saw at a glance the infantry captain who was being beaten by Jiang Shaoheng, and the other defender generals in Jingzhou were also wrestling with the generals of the Northwest Army. Bai Qingfeng rushed to Jiang Shaoheng and the others in one fell swoop and went to pull the rack. Lan Jing'an hurriedly shouted: "Stop it!" ”

Lan Jing'an was anxious and angry, she was already very sad because of Pang Tu's matter, at this moment, the two of them were still fighting here, which made her even more headache. She shouted angrily, "You two don't look at who you are?!" What time is it?! ”

Among those present, she was the highest. Hearing her angry, both sides still stopped honestly, and each glared at each other while sorting out their clothes. Lan Jing'an glared at him coldly, and then opened his mouth sternly: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Hearing Lan Jing'an's question, the infantry captain who had just gotten up from the ground had a bruised face, pointed at Jiang Shaoheng and the others and said hatefully: "Da Si Ming, our General Pang was killed by the Northwest Army!" The Northwest Army was supposed to arrive on the 22nd, but why did it delay for five days? If they had arrived even a day earlier, General Pang would not have died! ”

Although Lan Jing'an also wanted to ask Jiang Shaoheng this, she must not give Jiang Shaoheng face at this time. She could only turn around and reprimand the infantry captain first: "The moment the eldest husband goes to the battlefield, he is ready to sacrifice." General Pang is a bloody man, his bones are not cold now, but you are making trouble here, are you worthy of him?! ”

Lan Jing'an looked at the infantry captain stalking his neck, but there was a trace of guilt in his eyes. She sighed and said, "Reasoning, if you commit a crime or a military rule, you will be punished with a military stick." However, I remember that your heart is heartbroken today because of General Pang's matter, and I will spare you once. As long as General Jiang doesn't care, you'll be fine. ”

Jiang Shaoheng heard Lan Jing'an call his name, and hurriedly returned: "Captain Han also misunderstood, I don't blame him." ”

Lan Jing'an nodded and looked at Jiang Shaoheng carefully. She and him are old acquaintances, not to mention that Jiang Shaoheng used to follow Dingyuan Hou at the beginning, he and Brother Qingyun are also close friends, and he is Brother Qingyun's right-hand man, she has seen it many times. It's just that since she last entered Yonghua City, the two haven't seen each other for a few years.

Jiang Shaoheng was dusty, his face was dish, and there was a trace of fatigue in his eyes, it seemed that he had delayed the trip for other reasons. Lan Jingan also had to give him a chance to give the Northwest Army a chance to make a confession, otherwise the cadres stationed in Xiangyang would have a pimple in their hearts, and it would be difficult for the two armies to get along in the future.

She had no choice but to do business, and said in a deep voice: "General Jiang, don't blame the people in Xiangyang." Reinforcements arrived five days late, putting the defenders in danger. If it weren't for the unity of the cadres and troops here, fighting to the death, I'm afraid that Xiangyang would have broken early, and we would have all become ghosts under the sword. You really need to give an explanation to the defenders of Xiangyang. ”
