Chapter 22: Sun Peng's Story
Sun Peng?
How is this name a little familiar, Qin Sheng thought about it for a while, and finally remembered who Sun Peng was.
He is the son of Daddy Sun, who sold wine in Shangzhou, who has been missing for six years.
Fugu Samo said with a look of shame: "Jiang Saijiu once asked me if I had seen him, and I lied to you at that time. Of course I know him, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't know the secret of Wolf Gu Mountain. ”
Qin Sheng asked, "Then why are you lying?" ”
Fugu Sama sighed and explained, "At that time, I didn't know if you were good people, and Sun Peng's name was taboo in the barracks. ”
Qin Sheng asked, "Why?" ”
Fugu Desert muttered, "Where should I start with this matter? Let's start talking about it from the time he came to the barracks, it was four years ago......" He thought about it and slowly told Sun Peng's story.
Sun Peng joined the Chishui Army four years ago. As soon as he entered the barracks, the young man caught the attention of Fugu Samo. Because although Sun Peng was a Han Chinese, he never looked down on the Hu soldiers like others. This man was cheerful and upright, and he was very popular wherever he went, and it didn't take long for him to become friends with many people.
Sun Peng is not only friendly to others, but also very brave and fearless in battle. With his exploits, he was promoted to captain a year later, and after another year, he had become a lieutenant in command of two hundred soldiers.
In the third year, he ushered in a turning point of fate, and Yu Chi Baolin began to pay attention to him and wanted to win him over as his cronies.
Sun Peng should have refused, but unfortunately he didn't, after all, every young person wants to get ahead, but he didn't expect that he would end up on a road of no return.
He stayed under Yu Chi Baolin for two years. Finally, one day, Wei Chi Baolin felt that the time was ripe, so he called him in front of him and gave him an order, his order was to let Sun Peng take the new hundred soldiers to the desert of Langgu Mountain and kill them. This is his test for all his cronies, and what he wants is absolute loyalty.
Jiang Shenzhou asked, "How did Sun Peng do it?" ”
"Of course he didn't kill the recruits, but let them go. ”
Qin Sheng asked, "You mean, those soldiers survived?" ”
"Not a single one, all of them died. Yu Chi Baolin is not a fool, he has already ambushed another heavy army on the side. In this way, Sun Peng was arrested and locked up in the barracks. Sugu Sama sighed.
Qin Sheng couldn't help but sigh. She wanted to ask, "Why didn't Yu Chi Baolin kill him?" But she couldn't bear to ask the question, she was afraid to know the answer.
Coincidentally, it was the soldier he had saved on the battlefield who was responsible for guarding Sun Peng, and the soldier thanked him for saving his life and secretly let him go. After escaping from prison, Sun Peng could have left Liangzhou, but he didn't leave," he said in ...... "Fugu Samo said in one breath.
"Why?" Jiang Shenzhou asked.
"For if he is gone, the soldiers guarding him will surely die, not only him, but also his family." Fugu Samo sighed and said regretfully: "Sun Peng knew that he would definitely die when he returned to the barracks, but he still went back without hesitation. After that, I never saw him again, and I heard that Yu Chi Baolin secretly executed him in Langgu Mountain. ”
"Don't say it anymore......" Qin Sheng couldn't help but interrupt him, she was already in tears.
Jiang Shenzhou didn't speak, he had already guessed what was going on. Yu Chi Baolin naturally wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, after Sun Peng's death, the guards will definitely not escape death, not only him, but even the people who were good friends with Sun Peng in the past will not have a good end, maybe they are also the same as Sun Peng, they have already become a corpse that no one knows about under the wolf Gu Mountain, in the rolling yellow sand.
Although Jiang Shenzhou now has news of Sun Peng, it is bad news.
"After Sun Peng's death, I began to secretly investigate this matter, and it took me two years to discover the secret of Wolf Gu Mountain, and then you appeared." Fugu Samo let out a long sigh, as if he had finally been relieved of his burden.
Qin Sheng said movingly: "Old general, let's go back to Chang'an together, I promise you that you will definitely seek justice for them." ”
"The old man is in his last years, and he has long been gone, even if he fights for his life at this moment, he has to expose Yu Chi Baolin's crimes." Fugu Sama said gloomily: "It's just that Captain Qin doesn't know one thing, Yu Chi Baolin is not only the son of the founding hero, I heard that he also has the support of the prince behind him." I'm afraid these four words are ......"
"Even if it's a prince, you can't ...... it with one hand" Qin Sheng said indignantly, halfway through speaking, her voice suddenly stopped, and her face changed, because she suddenly heard a sound.
In the distance, the earth shook the sound of horses' hooves.
As soon as the sound of horses' hooves sounded, a flash of fire appeared on the sand dunes not far away, and countless cavalry figures appeared in the firelight, numbering no less than two hundred.
It's Yu Chi Baolin!
Jiang Shenzhou couldn't understand why Yu Chi Baolin was able to find them so quickly, but he didn't have time to think about it now. The vast desert was unobstructed, and there was no place to hide at all, not to mention that Yu Chi Baolin had already discovered them, so they could only flee for their lives.
The three of them hurriedly urged their horses to gallop, but unfortunately they were riding the horses they had brought, no more than the horses in the Chishui Army barracks, they had long been accustomed to the desert terrain.
It didn't take long for the distance between the two sides to be at least half closer, and Jiang Shenzhou had already seen Yu Chi Baolin's menacing figure.
At this moment, a ruined wall appeared in front of him, and that was Gaogou Fort, where the soldiers of Tiance Mansion were waiting. But the other side is at least ten times as large as himself, so what can he do if he gets there?
"Captain Qin, Jiang sacrificial wine, forgive the old man for not being able to accompany you to Chang'an." Just as Qin Sheng and Jiang Shenzhou were galloping wildly, Fugu Shamo suddenly said.
Then, laughing, he turned his horse's head around and charged towards Yu Chi Baolin's cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, Fugu Samo had rushed out dozens of feet away.
"Old General!" Qin Sheng shouted in a lost voice, she had guessed his purpose, he wanted to buy time for himself and Jiang Shenzhou.
Qin Sheng slammed the horse's head, she couldn't let Fugu Samo go to death alone.
But Jiang Shenzhou grabbed her reins.
"It's too late." He looked at her and said.
"Let it go!"
In a hurry, Qin Sheng seemed to be a different person, her eyes turned red in an instant, and she suddenly pulled out the matching knife and slashed at Jiang Shenzhou's hand - of course she didn't really want to hurt him, she just wanted him to let go.
But Jiang Shenzhou was still scratched by her on the back of his hand, of course he didn't expect her to make a sudden move.
- "Sheng'er is cautious and arrogant, and she is also easy to be emotional...... I hope you can help me take care of her and don't let her do stupid things......" Before leaving, Qin Qiong had said this to Jiang Shenzhou, and now he finally understood what he meant.
Jiang Shenzhou let go of the reins and didn't speak again, he knew that it was useless to say anything now.
Qin Sheng was stunned at first, then gritted his teeth, and then lifted the reins and chased towards Fugu Shamo.
He had already begun to engage the cavalry of Yu Chi Baolin, and he had not brought any weapons, but he did not know from which cavalry he had taken a lance. The old man in his sixties, with white hair, brandished the long lance in his hand and rushed towards the enemy line, and everywhere he passed, there was a wail. In the blink of an eye, there were already seven or eight people lying on the ground.
Suddenly, a cold light shot out from the enemy's line, and Sugu Samo fell to the ground with the sound of his horse tumbling to the ground. When I looked down, a stream of blood had gushed out of my chest, and in the blood, an arrow was exposed.
A person walked out of the cavalry group with a crossbow, this person was bloated and had a face full of flesh, it was actually Wei Chisheng, wasn't he locked up? How did it end up here?
Yu Chisheng walked over step by step, and said with a weird smile: "Old thing, I didn't expect it, Lao Tzu came out again." ”
"Jumping beam clown, dare to make a big noise!" Fugu Samo spat out a mouthful of blood and scolded.
"Scold! Feel free to scold! You're dying anyway. Yu Chi Sheng sneered and pulled out the crossbow, slowly installed the crossbow arrow, and then aimed the arrow at the head of Fugu Samo.
"To tell you the truth, I have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, and today Lao Tzu will personally send you on the road." His fingers were hooked on the crossbow machine, and his eyes were full of murder.
But before he could make a move, a knife suddenly flew over, cutting off his right hand with a single blow.
Qin Sheng has rushed in!
As soon as she rushed into the enemy line, she saw the mortally wounded Samu. Before she had time to think about it, she fought with the cavalry around her. Qin Sheng's sword technique was already fierce and domineering, and she was red-eyed at the moment, so every time she struck, she killed, although there were many enemies around her, few people dared to rush forward.
After a stalemate for a while, although Qin Sheng slashed a few people who were not afraid of death, there were more and more people surrounding her, and there were hundreds of people.
"Shield!" A majestic voice shouted, it was the voice of Yu Chi Baolin.
Only then did Qin Sheng realize that Yu Chi Baolin had been hiding far behind, and he was watching the battle indifferently under the heavy protection of twenty ironclad guards.
Although Qin Sheng wanted to rush over and kill him immediately, she couldn't do it, the enemy had already surrounded her.
After hearing the order, the cavalrymen dismounted one after another and unloaded their shields from their backs, and in an instant, they formed a large circle, trapping Qin Sheng and Fugu Shamo in the middle.
Qin Sheng tried to rush out several times, but it was in vain, seeing that the shield array was getting closer and closer, she had no way out.
"Captain Qin, why are you doing this......" Fugu Sama sighed gloomily.
"Being able to fight side by side with the old general, Qin Sheng died without regrets." Qin Sheng replied while staring vigilantly at the enemy in front of him.
"Good! Very good! Tiance Mansion really deserves to be the pride of the Tang Dynasty soldiers! Fugu Samo laughed loudly, and there was no trace of regret in his laughter, only the pride of swallowing the world.
The laughter stopped, and Samo took his last breath.
As soon as Fugu Sama died, Qin Sheng suddenly became disheartened. She threw down the knife and slowly closed her eyes, ready to accept death. But she didn't wait for death, she waited for the screams of the enemy.
A sudden rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the unsuspecting enemies wailed from the arrows.
Not far away, on the sand dunes, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared.
The sky was dawning, and the first light of dawn just outlined the silhouette of the cavalry.
In the light, Qin Sheng saw Jiang Shenzhou's face, and also saw the faces of the twenty companions of the Tiance Mansion behind him.
