readx;? Hearing Hua Qingwu's shout, everyone didn't understand at first, Wang Hui and Guo Qi glanced at each other, they were a little puzzled, because there was no person named Su Qin in the night shadow, they didn't know who this person was, and they made Hua Qingwu so anxious, and Qiu Guofeng and Tong Mu Yuan Xishan and others over there were also very unfamiliar with this name, looking at Hua Qingwu and looking at each other, they didn't know who Su Qin was that Hua Qingwu shouted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info// updated quickly //

At this time, Yuan Xishan, who had looked around a few times, suddenly frowned and asked Tong Mu and Li Tianqi and others on the side Dumb went there, Yuan Xishan's words just fell, and Hua Qingwu, who understood that these people didn't know Dumb's name and might be called Su Qin, woke up, and then said to everyone: "Dumb's name is Su Qin, what about others?"

This time, not only Tong Mu, Chen Haoluo and others woke up, but also Wang Hui, Guo Qi and others also understood, and soon everyone began to look for Su Qin, but where was Su Qin's shadow around.

"I remember that he killed the thieves just now, did he chase and kill those thieves when they retreated?" Yuan Xishan said at this time, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Chen Haoluo on the side shouting with some excitement, "Do you see if that person is dumb?"

Following Chen Haoluo's fingers, everyone saw a person carrying a corpse walking towards this side from fifty zhang away, with some broken arrows on the corpse, and the blood that flowed out dripped on the person's body.

The spear in Su Qin's hand was stabbed into the ground by him, and he was carrying a corpse surrounded by arrows shot by the thieves before, and Su Qin stepped on these arrows and slowly walked over to this side.

"It's Su Qin. Looking at the figure, Hua Qingwu nodded, followed by a tense heart and slowly relaxed.

"That person is Lu Guangqi?" Looking at the fat man on Su Qin's body, Tong Mu asked Yuan Xishan on the side softly at this time, Yuan Xishan nodded, and then turned his head away - after this battle, there were less than twenty people from Ji Guo who originally followed Su Qin, and now there are only ** people left.

"Are you alright? Seeing Su Qin put Lu Guangqi on a war horse, Hua Qingwu stepped forward and asked.

Glancing at the few knife wounds on his body, Su Qin shook his head, and then looked back at those dead companions, Su Qin, who was silent, did not speak, but looked at the injured with a painful expression.

Seeing that Su Qin didn't speak, Hua Qingwu didn't say anything, because he knew that Su Qin might be the cultivator in the fishing village at the beginning, and now Su Qin's injuries were not a big problem for him, Hua Qingwu, who was relieved, began to beckon everyone to support the injured people and walk towards Bofan City with the cavalry.

On the way back, Hua Qingwu learned from the conversation between Qiu Guofeng and the cavalry commander that they didn't know about the thieves hidden in the trees in the distance, but they only knew that the thieves had captured Yangguan City two days ago, so now Bofan City is on alert for the whole city.

Looking at Bofan City, where the gate was open, Hua Qingwu looked at a big man in full armor standing under the city wall, turned back to Wang Hui, Guo Qi and the others and said, "If I guess correctly, this person is Yang Qingshan." ”

Yang Qingshan is already in his forties, although he is only equipped with a treasure knife, but standing there still gives people a lot of pressure, looking at the clothes on Qiu Guofeng's body, as well as the flag that has long been broken, Yang Qingshan, who quickly understood Qiu Guofeng's identity, stepped forward and gave Qiu Guofeng a fist salute, "I didn't expect it to be General Qiu, Qingshan's rescue was late, please forgive me." ”

Qiu Guofeng looked at Yang Qingshan and nodded, "Brother Yang is outside, you and I are both serving the empire, don't be so polite, without you, I'm afraid that my old bones will be buried in the loess." After saying this, Qiu Guofeng paused, "Don't talk nonsense, now I'm in trouble, those dead soldiers have Brother Lao Yang, and our line of work has not been in ...... for a few days."

"Brother Qiu, don't worry, I'll send someone to bury them and arrange food for them by the way. After saying this, Yang Qingshan pointed to the city, "Brother Qiu, please." ”

Watching Qiu Guofeng and Yang Qingshan walk towards Bofan City together, Hua Qingwu and the others slowly walked into Bofan City, looking at Qiu Guofeng who was walking in front, Wang Hui, who was following Hua Qingwu, asked a little puzzled at this time, "It seems that Yang Qingshan and Qiu Guofeng are first acquaintances?"

"The people in the Bagua Camp are all responsible for guarding the Tianxia City, and the emperor hates that the guards of the Imperial City have dealings with local cities, and it is normal that Qiu Guofeng, who is in charge of the Lizi Camp, has not seen Yang Qingshan. Hua Qingwu explained.

"Then which of the two of them has a big official position?" Guo Qi asked on the side.

"It's hard to say. Hua Qingwu looked at the backs of the two for a moment, "Qiu Guofeng is in Tianxia City, his subordinates are in charge of 10,000 troops, and he can often see the emperor, and he belongs to the emperor's henchmen, and Yang Qingshan Mountain is far from the lord of a city, with at least 30,000 troops and horses in his hands, he is considered a member of the imperial court, as for whose official position is high, it may not matter to them." ”

"I'm afraid General Qiu is even more uncomfortable than us now. Looking at Qiu Guofeng's back, Guo Qi smiled bitterly, "There are only a few hundred soldiers left in the 10,000 Lizi Battalion so far, when he returns to Tianxia City, how can he explain to the emperor?"

"That's not something we're thinking about right now. Looking at the two of them, Hua Qingwu looked up at the blue sky, and then looked at the lively streets of Bofan City, "Take a break today, and let's buy some fast horses and go back to Tianxia City after dawn tomorrow." ”

Wang Hui hummed lightly, and Guo Qi on the side didn't have any opinions, but in the end, Wang Hui said that he didn't know what happened to Brother Li Wang.

"I don't know what the situation is on the side of Yangguan City, if Li Wang passes through the side stopper, since there is no movement in Bofan City, then he is very likely to go to Yangguan City, now that Yangguan City has fallen, he may have left or may be trapped in the city, if he doesn't rush out of the side stopper...... "How to Hua Qingwu didn't say next, just looked at the two of them and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Brother Li has his own natural appearance, I believe he will be fine." ”

In this way, while a few people were talking, they came to the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Qingshan ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and then began to arrange for Qiu Guofeng Wang Qihua Qingwu and others to take a bath, when they went to bathe, Wang Hui shouted Su Qin, but I don't know what the reason is, Su Qin looked at Tong Mu and the others behind him and shook his head, just when Qiu Guofeng and the others were taking a bath, Su Qin took Yuan Xishan to find Lang Zhong and treated the arrow wound on his leg, and when they came to the City Lord's Mansion, Qiu Guofeng and the others were already standing there in new clothes, looking at Su Qin and the others, Qiu Guofeng asked Yang Qingshan to find some clothes for Su Qin and them, After Su Qin, Li Tianqi and the others took a rough bath and changed their clothes, the wine and dinner arranged by Yang Qingshan were ready.

Nearly a hundred wooden tables were placed in the open space outside the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and those who escaped death were sitting on the wooden tables, first Qiu Guofeng spoke, and then Yang Qingshan turned over his words, but those soldiers looked at the mouthful of food on the table, and they didn't know who shed tears first, and soon those who survived began to choke softly without knowing whether they were happy or sad, and no one put down their chopsticks.

Looking at the scene outside the hall, Qiu Guofeng's eyes were also red, he came to the hall with a wine jug and a wine glass, looked at everyone and said, "The man bleeds without tears, let's escape from death, this first glass of wine is to honor those dead compatriots." ”

Those soldiers silently picked up the wine glasses, Su Qin and the others also picked up the wine glasses in front of them, Yuan Xishan looked at the few people at the table, and said softly, "This first glass of wine, let's pay tribute to the dead citizens of Ji Guo." ”

The warm wine was slightly spicy in the throat, slightly hot in the lower stomach, and everyone's mood slowly improved.

The sad and indignant emotions left, and under the comfort of Qiu Guofeng's words, everyone finally began to pick up the chopsticks on the table to eat, they had not eaten for a few days, they were not gobbling up, on the contrary, but chewing slowly, as if they were savoring the taste of delicious food on the tip of the tongue - this is the taste of life.

But this meal didn't last long, just when Su Qin, Yuan Xishan and the others were half-full, several guards from the City Lord's Mansion ran towards the hall with knives, looking at the guard running in front, Yang Qingshan frowned, then got up and came to the door of the hall, and after asking something in a low voice, the guard whispered something in Yang Qingshan's ear.

"What?" After hearing the guard's words, Yang Qingshan asked with some surprise, seeing that the guard nodded, Yang Qingshan nodded, waved his hand to signal him to leave, Yang Qingshan, who had returned to the wine table from the new, looked at Qiu Guofeng, and after the two touched a glass of wine, Yang Qingshan said with a helpless and wry smile on his face, "Brother Qiu, I'm afraid I can't drink with you anymore." ”

"What's wrong?" Hearing Yang Qingshan's words, looking at the look on Yang Qingshan's face, Qiu Guofeng was stunned.

"There are forty or fifty thousand bands of thieves rushing towards Bofan City, and it seems that they are preparing to attack the city. Although Yang Qingshan's words were not loud, there was still a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

"How many defenders are there in Bofan City now?" Looking at Yang Qingshan, Qiu Guofeng frowned and asked.

"Originally, there were 40,000, but it was just a war with Ningguo, and now there are less than 20,000 left. Yang Qingshan said and stood up, "But don't be afraid, even these 20,000 people, I believe they can stop them for a while, and I heard that the emperor has begun to gather some city troops to deal with these thieves, and now that they have captured Yangguan City, since they dare to come here, I just need to hold on for a while, and when the reinforcements come, I can ensure that they will not return." ”

Hua Qingwu and Wang Qiqi listened to Yang Qingshan's words, looked at each other and didn't say anything.

"Everyone eat first, I'll go to the city wall to see, Bofan City has enough food and grass, just these forty or fifty thousand people want to take Bofan City, I see how capable those thieves are." ”

"I'll go with you too. When Qiu Guofeng heard Yang Qingshan's words, he stood up and said.

"Brother Qiu will rest for a while, since the emperor handed over Bofan City to me, I will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations. After saying this, Yang Qingshan hugged his fists and bowed to Qiu Guofeng and Hua Qingwu and the others present before leaving.

"I didn't expect those thieves to move so fast. Watching Yang Qingshan leave, Qiu Guofeng stood silently for a while, sat down and drank a glass of wine and said.

"Just now Yang Qingshan said that there are forty or fifty thousand people from the thief group rushing here......" Speaking of this, Hua Qingwu glanced at Qiu Guofeng," When we were in Ji Guo before, the number of these thieves was nearly 70,000, and they would definitely lose some of their manpower when Yangguan City was broken, and now they are here again, which means that they still have people left behind in Yangguan City, we should tell this news to Luoshui and Duge City, which are closest to Yangguan City, and let them send troops to Yangguan City, and after eliminating all the thieves left behind in Yangguan City, they will lead their troops to surround these thieves who came to Bofan City from behind, even if these thieves have great ability, I am afraid they will not want to leave alive。 ”

"But if the emperor is unwilling, no one can mobilize these troops. Hearing Hua Qingwu's words, Qiu Guofeng thought for a while and said, after speaking, he looked at the people outside who didn't know what the situation was, and then turned his head to look at Hua Qingwu and Wang Qiqi, "You two take the people of the mercenary group and leave, I'll stay here." ”

"General, what can you do if you stay here?" Hearing Qiu Guofeng's words, Wang Qiqi thought for a while and said, "It's not easy for us people to survive until now, if we want to leave, we will leave together, and if we want to leave, we will leave together." ”

"Now that those thieves are attacking the city, how can I leave?" Qiu Guofeng said with a wry smile, "Now that the Lizi Battalion has basically been wiped out in my hands, what is the point of my life, it is better to stay and fight against those thieves." ”

"General, have you thought about it?" Looking at Qiu Guofeng, who looked gloomy, Hua Qingwu opened his mouth and continued, "What can you do if you stay? Give Yang Qingyun a hand? It's better to leave here with us, and then tell the emperor about the situation here, and listen to the emperor's decision when the time comes." ”

"You don't know the emperor's character. Looking at the light dance of the flowers, Qiu Guofeng poured a glass of wine, and then drank it in one gulp, "This attack on Ji Guo, I am responsible for escorting those prisoners of Ji Guo, and now the prisoners are not only all in the hands of the thieves group, but also the Lizi camp has basically lost everything under my leadership, and it has been derelict in its duties, even if the emperor does not punish me at that time, what face do I have to stay in the barracks?"

"Don't judge heroes by success or failure. Looking at Qiu Guofeng, who was obviously in a bad mood, Hua Qingwu opened his mouth and retorted, "Even if the second camp of Qiankun is here, what can they do in the face of a group of thieves several times their size? ”

After Hua Qingwu finished speaking, seeing that Qiu Guofeng didn't speak, she continued, "Perhaps, what you are worried about is not as terrible as you imagined, now Lang has domestic and foreign troubles, it is the moment to employ people, the emperor has always loved talents, and he must not be too embarrassed adults." ”

After listening to Hua Qingwu's words, the painful look on Qiu Guofeng's face finally loosened a little, and after thinking for a while, he nodded, looking at Hua Qingwu and Wang Qiqi, Qiu Guofeng continued, "I have been chased and blocked by thieves all the way, and I am unwilling to go like this." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Since they have come to the door, if I don't fight them for a day or two, I'm afraid I won't be able to let go of it for the rest of my life. ”

"The general has a point. Hua Qingwu nodded at this time, "Since we can come here alive, we can't give an account to those dead brothers without letting those thieves pay some price." ”

"Since you and I have the same idea, let's eat first, rest after eating, and let's go to the city wall to kill as many people as we can. Qiu Guofeng said, picked up the wine glass, and bumped it with Hua Qingwu and the others.

At this time, Qiu Guofeng didn't know that this was the last time he would face these people who had been born and died with him, just like he once swore allegiance to this empire, sometimes, only death can solve the problem and be free from troubles.

Death is sometimes a relief.

Life is not a torture.
