Chapter 23: Friends of the Dead (3)
Silence, like a moment before death, struck violently and struck everyone's heart.
Old Man Dong saw that he could no longer keep the hearts of his brothers this time, so he had to straighten his head, stand up with a long sword in his hand, and said.
"Since all the brothers feel it's time to withdraw, I can't stop anything more. Just tell your brothers, go ahead, and I will cut off the back for you. This is also the only thing that the eldest brother can do on the last journey. ”
At this time, a small soldier stepped forward and said, "Brother Dong, don't be so righteous first, we have to disguise the camp before we leave." Otherwise, the enemy will discover our intention to evacuate, and if we immediately send troops to chase and fight fiercely, we will not be able to leave. Even if we were lucky enough to escape, we would have to lose a few more brothers, and that would be counterproductive. It looked like he asked Brother Dong to think twice, so he was humbly angry.
After saying this, everyone felt that it was not unreasonable, and they proposed to the old man Dong at that time. "Yes, Brother Dong, we have to think of a foolproof strategy, withdraw cleanly, and leave no handle for the enemy to track."
In fact, even if everyone didn't say it, Old Man Dong had already realized this in his mind. At this moment, he did not explain too much, and immediately spoke to the remaining soldiers. "What the brothers are worried about is, let's do what I say, and the brothers will have no danger all the way, and they will go easily."
After that, Old Man Dong poured out all the premeditated practices in his heart and taught them to everyone one by one. The rest of the soldiers understood and nodded their heads and left.
All of a sudden, the people who stayed in the barracks and arranged the suspicious soldiers. The guy who himself took the torches around the outside of the camp and blurred the barracks. Then a male donkey was tied to the wheel, and a few straw men wearing military uniforms and hats and holding knives and guns were tied on the flat surface, and fresh grass was tied with a rope in the middle to lure the donkey to graze forward, so that it could walk back and forth.
Later, more than a dozen earthen stoves for cooking were added to the wide area of the camp, and the fireworks in the pit were burned as if they were smoky, so that the enemy mistakenly thought that our reinforcements had really arrived and were cooking on fire. A few more goats were tied to the thunder drums, and a few thunder drums were beaten loudly, making it just like a handsome commander on the stage, as if he was about to rush out at any time.
Suddenly, if the large military camp on the mountain col was overturned by the conspiracy of the old man Dong and his subordinates, it was as if it were real and illusory, and it was difficult to argue between reality and reality. Coupled with the tight gongs and drums in the middle of the night, the figures are outstanding. The firelight swayed back and forth like a stream, as if a large group of people were really coming in a hurry, and Luo Yi kept going.
All the pretentiousness and fiddling did not make the generals of the enemy country have any doubts. This is a serious and bad illusion created by the opponent before he slips away.
When the enemy general noticed, the carefully crafted spy Pegasus came out of the camp and found out half of the reality. When the time comes back, "the cooked ducks are flying." ”
It is not difficult to imagine that the enemy generals will definitely pour all their anger on the bodies of this group of remnants of the defeated generals. Of course, a thunderbolt will be urgent, and the enemy commander will provoke a general order, so that a team of men and horses will chase after them.
The night was dark and deep here, and the old man Dong led the team to sneak away, and he couldn't catch off from the cold, and a Ling Ling flew quickly from behind and shot straight at the little scumbag's vest.
It was too late to swing the sword to block the cold arrow that came from the sneak attack, and the cold arrow was only five feet away from the back vest of the little scumbag. Old Man Dong hurriedly pushed the little scum to the right, and as soon as his figure flashed, the arrow went straight to his left arm to get dressed, and blood immediately stained his clothes.
Everyone was shocked and quickly dispersed, forming a blocking trend. At this time, although Old Man Dong was injured by an arrow, he was also quick-sighted. When he turned around, he picked up the small carved bow he carried with him, and shot at the enemy who rushed up behind. In a series of three arrows, the leader of the enemy first dodged the first two arrows, and the third arrow went straight through the throat and killed him.
The pursuers were shocked, and when they saw that the leader of the team had died, they immediately dispersed in chaos.
Seeing that the enemy formation was in chaos and retreated one after another, Old Man Dong waved his sword and led the team to rush into the enemy formation.
The little scum picked up his life, and he was very grateful. But when Old Man Dong looked back at his team again, he was almost startled. Mom, the soldiers who led the retreat by themselves are only ten people in total so far. And with the wounded and disabled, the wolf is a mess, if there is an enemy army to catch up with this battle, how to fight?
Nests, grievances, vomiting, and heart-pounding are simply self-evident.
Everyone looked at each other, sad and depressed. The embarrassed images of each other made the clothes on their bodies a little tattered, and the curved war knives were a little more cruel and bloody.
All kinds of unbearable emotions in front of him suddenly poured into the hearts of these ten people, and silence was better than sound at this time.
"Brother Dong, look, there are only ten of us left. God is pitiful, it is better to pinch the soil as incense, as if he wants us to worship as brothers with different surnames in life and death. In the future, we will share blessings and difficulties. Life and death are shared, and blessings and misfortunes are shared. The little scum timidly stood up and proposed, after all, he escaped with the favor of Old Man Dong who blocked an arrow through his heart for him, and his gratitude is self-evident.
As soon as the little scum said this, the eight people next to him had a whispered objection. It seems to agree, but it also seems to hesitate.
Without waiting for the nine people to agree on the same opinion, Old Man Dong said very seriously and sharply. "Since you have this intention and regard Dong as your brother in life and death, then I will fulfill my brother's wish, and I will have a companion on Huangquan Road in the future, and I will not be alone." After speaking, he walked in front of the nine people, bowed his hand, and shouted again. "Come, brothers, the ten of us are kneading the soil for incense today, and we will worship as brothers with different surnames." After speaking, he immediately knelt on the ground, pinched the soil in his hand and swore an oath.
The little scumbag had sharp eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down. "Brother Dong, I'm here. After today, we will live and die together. ”
The eight people who were still hesitating behind them also seemed to have fallen into evil at this time, and immediately took advantage of it and knelt on the ground. Standing in a row with Old Man Dong, pinching the soil for incense, and respectfully worshipping the brothers.
"I, Dong XX, am here with you today as brothers with different surnames, the emperor is above, and the sun and the moon can be seen. Life and death are shared, and blessings and misfortunes are shared. ”
"I, little scumbag, am here today with you as brothers with different surnames, the emperor is above, and the sun and the moon can be seen. Life and death are shared, and blessings and misfortunes are shared. ”
"I, Lei XX, am here today with you as brothers with different surnames, the emperor is above, and the sun and the moon can be seen. Life and death are shared, and blessings and misfortunes are shared. ”
。。。。。
"Ahh Old man Dong sneezed twice in his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, the candles in the room were faintly lit, and the fifth watch was about to end, and the sky was already slightly invented.
Look again, ouch, it turned out to be a dream for twenty years.
The old man is still there, but the matter has been extinguished.
However, in the other bedroom, it was just the opposite of Old Man Dong's dream.
Li Qiusheng slept in Lei Mansion, and actually slept a very real dream.
Although Li Qiusheng is not deeply involved in the world, he is still a stunned boy with inexperienced experience.
Many things in the world are difficult to understand with him, unless he has encountered or experienced it himself.
What is hateful is that when Li Qiusheng's dream was about to come true, he was disturbed by the petite figure of a man in black, which made him feel a little lost and inexplicably melancholy.
Li Qiusheng remembered that after he was helped into the bedroom, a petite black shadow also came in like a shadow, hiding quietly in a corner of the room. It's just that he was too drunk to resist at that time, and the effect of alcohol was weak to shout, and the petite black shadow was at ease in the room.
After waiting for Li Qiusheng's subordinate Yahuan to retreat, the candle shadow window. The petite black shadow slowly rose out again, and swayed back and forth in front of Li Qiusheng's bed. Like a dazzling flower, his slightly open eyes were dazzling, misty like mist, curling like smoke, real and illusory.
Although Li Qiusheng was aware that there were people in black walking in front of him, he even made all kinds of funny and ridiculous grimaces at him. But the drunkenness of the weakness made him unable to cope with everything in front of him. I had to stare helplessly at my frightened eyes, drunkenly looking at the man in black in front of me who was playing tricks on me, and fell asleep soundly.
I could only hear the man in black snatching the white voice softly, "Good boy, do you remember me in the gentle township when the wine enters the liver and sausage?" That heart-warming kick didn't make you unforgettable for the rest of your life, right? After going through so much suffering, this time you are drunk and unable to control yourself, if there is an accident in the Lei Mansion, I think you will deal with this kid? Can you still be like the last few times, and you can still be rotten again, with medicine tied to your feet, and fool those soldiers who defend the city. Or just lie down and wait to die, like a king and let people catch turtles in their urns. ”
Although Li Qiusheng fell asleep, he still felt a little drunk in his subconscious. He was so anxious that he wanted to shout several times, but he was so drunk that he wanted to die, so he had to mumble his mouth, but he was so anxious that he couldn't let out a word.
Just when Li Qiusheng was so anxious that he couldn't squeak, a few crisp drums suddenly came from outside the door, and then an old voice suddenly came in. "Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi, what's wrong with you? Daredevil yet? It's still the people in the house who don't serve you well. ”
Although Li Qiusheng could hear it, he was weak and speechless. The person who patrolled outside the door couldn't hear any more movement in the room.
When the man outside the door walked away, the man in black came out of the corner where he was hiding.
Without hesitation, he poured a large cup of tea from the table into Li Qiusheng's mouth, and then took out a small bottle of medicine from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, and shook it back and forth in front of Li Qiusheng's nose a few times. Then he used a trick that made Li Qiusheng, a boy who was as sleepy as a pig, lose face in front of Zhou Gong - 'picking his nose'.
This time, the man in black turned over and made Li Qiusheng scratch his nose unconsciously on the bed. Immediately, a few light coughs spit out of Li Qiusheng's throat, and then the person slowly woke up.
Li Qiusheng opened his eyes and almost shouted 'Mom'. The frightened look was terrifying, and goosebumps suddenly rose on his body.
A fierce black-clothed goddess sat in front of him.
A sharp sword reached his throat, and his two deep eyes shone with cold light.
