Chapter 353: Take Your Life
Dusk, steppe, swamp.
The endless swamp reeds and grasses, vast and boundless, are full of the beauty of bleakness and loneliness.
Huzi led a group of Xiang Jiajun with broken armor and helmets, and walked through the reeds with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The number of these Xiang family troops is not large, there are about less than a thousand people, more than half of them are disabled, and the rest are also mentally exhausted and have no morale.
During this period of time, Huzi and his men and horses were surrounded and intercepted by hostile princes and grassland barbarians, struggling to survive, until now, it is the end of the strong crossbow, and they can no longer continue to support.
At the front of the procession, a group of horse thieves, leading the horses, from time to time chopping reeds with scimitars, carefully marking the areas that cannot be trampled on, leading the team forward.
The leader of the horse thieves had a long light brown beard, bright eyes, and a round waist. From time to time, he raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes were full of determination.
Although Huzi's expression was tired, he was still full of perseverance, he walked up to the leader of the horse thieves and asked in a low voice, "Fourth Uncle, how long will it take for us to get out of here?"
The leader of the horse thieves is called Huang Shilang, who was rescued by Xiang Haidong once and has been a brother with Xiang Haidong since then. If it weren't for Huzi meeting Huang Shilang in the grassland and avoiding layers of danger under his leadership, I am afraid that he would not have survived now.
Huang Shilang turned his head to look at the group of Xiang Jiajun, who had already lost their sharpness, sighed softly in his heart, and cheered up: "There is still a maximum of half a month away, and we will be able to cross here to Baihetan, and at that time, the sky will be high and the birds will fly, and they will no longer be able to catch up with us." ”
Half a month...... Huzi calculated the provisions, shook his head lightly and said, "Half a month is too long, even if there are no chasing soldiers, we won't be able to hold out at that time." ”
Huang Shilang said: "We left a lot of supply points in this swamp just to escape for our lives in the future. As long as you save a little money, you should be fine. ”
Huzi frowned and said, "I have a hunch." This road should not be so easy. Although the Zhao family's pursuers were eliminated by us, the Wolf Tooth King should know this way, and if he sent people to ambush in front, then we would definitely die. ”
Huang Shilang said: "The Wolf Tooth King was taken around by us in a big circle, so he may not know that we have entered here, even if he knows now, it will be too late." ”
He patted Huzi on the shoulder and said, "Virtuous nephew." I know you have a heavy burden on your shoulders, but this is not something that can be done by manpower, you should not think too much, as long as you can survive, there must be hope. I believe that the eldest brother is in the spirit of heaven, and I hope you can live!"
Hearing this, Huzi's eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiang Ji! One day, I want to take revenge." I'm going to kill him with my own hands!"
Huang Shilang sighed and said, "No one thought that that the certificate would make a move on us, big brother, he ...... That kid is terrible, in my opinion, even the head of a great prince's house. It may not be his opponent...... Virtuous nephew, let's take a long-term view. ”
Huzi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, a bloodshot hidden in his eyes.
Since the capital of Qin. After the Qing Emperor raided and the head of the Xiang family fell, the Xiang family fell apart under the raid of various forces. Huzi followed Xiang Haidong with people all the way. Follow General Xiang Tian to get into trouble. But unexpectedly encountered all sides, General Xiang Tian did not know where to go, Xiang Haidong led people to flee into the grassland, but was about to break out of the encirclement by Xiang Ji from nowhere to encounter, in order to cover the tiger with people to break through, Xiang Haidong's opponent Xiang Ji was killed in front of the battle, if it were not for the soldiers to sacrifice their lives to fight, I am afraid that Huzi would have died under Xiang Ji.
Xiang Ji struck a shocking blow that day, and Huzi saw it clearly, it was already beyond the scope of his own realm, and it was even a little weird and unpredictable. Now it seems that even if he cultivates hard all his life, I am afraid that he may not be able to match the strength of the previous item...... Revenge is easier said than done.
Brother Bin...... How good it would be if you did.
The shadow of Xiang Bin appeared in Huzi's heart, and he closed his eyes and was speechless for a long time.
......
Half a month later, Huzi finally walked out of the swamp and entered Baihetan.
It is a tidal flat, named after the abundance of white cranes. The vegetation has become much richer, and it is not as muddy as the swamps.
Many of the people who followed Huzi died of pain and starvation in the swamp, and so far there were less than 400 people in the entire team.
This is also thanks to Huang Shilang's guidance and careful care, otherwise it is still two to say whether he can walk to Baihetan.
The continuous beach, the birds and birds are dense, and the swamp for a long time has long made these remnants of the Xiang family army tired and hungry, at this time it is natural to hunt everywhere, burn the fire and cook, and not long after, the tidal flat is already full of cooking smoke, and the fragrance is fragrant.
The terrain of Baihetan is complex and vast, and when you get here, it is very difficult to chase someone again, and everyone can't help but feel that they will have the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and Huzi's spirit is also much more invigorated.
"Take a break today, and walk south tomorrow, the farther you go, the better. I heard that the southernmost part of Baihetan is a place where aliens live together, and when we get there, no one knows who we are or what we do. In time, it may not be impossible to regroup and fight back. Huang Shilang looked at Huzi and smiled, his expression was a little more relaxed.
Huzi looked at the various strange beasts around him, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked into the distance.
There, a huge purple mantis demon beast flew in, and when it saw its huge size, it was not easy to mess with. The praying mantis flew above them, spinning several times, not knowing why.
Everyone drew their weapons and stood up, staring on guard.
After a long time, the praying mantis flapped its wings and flew off into the distance.
Huang Shilang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are very few demon beasts in Baihetan, and I don't know where this thing came from. ”
For some reason, Huzi felt a strange feeling in his heart, and after a long silence, he ordered: "Continue to march, set up camp after dark, everyone hold on, and rest for a day tomorrow." ”
Although everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, they were also shocked by this demon beast, and when they heard the words, they all got up and packed up and continued to move forward.
The next day, the crowd walked south under the leadership of Huang Shilang, and in the evening, entered a basin.
The basin is surrounded by trees, with only one outlet at the far end. The jungle stretched far away, with two rushing rivers on either side, and it was clear that in order to pass through this basin, it was necessary to cross the basin.
Huzi frowned and said, "If there is an ambush here, we will definitely not be able to escape." I think I'll rest here today, send someone in to investigate, and leave tomorrow. ”
Huang Shilang looked around, shook his head and said: "There is no road around here, if the pursuers come, we will be forced to go in, I think it is better to hurry up and pass through." Virtuous nephew, there can be no ambush here, whether it is the Wolf Tooth King or anyone else, it is impossible for them to come in front of us, are you too careful?"
A few horse thieves around also responded: "We have been here many times, even if there is no way to go, we can go into the forest, what are we afraid of!"
There was a bit of disdain in his expression. Obviously, these days, their leader has been obedient to Huzi, which has made them feel a little unhappy.
Huzi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, everyone be careful, let's get through here as soon as possible." ”
The group entered the basin and carefully guarded its surroundings, but the basin was extremely quiet, except for a few occasional bird calls, not even a trace of wind.
As they reached the middle of the basin, the crowd gradually relaxed their vigilance. Huzi suddenly raised his hand and ordered to stop, and subconsciously said to Huang Shilang behind him: "Fourth uncle, no......"
While talking, he looked back, but saw that Huang Shilang and the horse thieves had retreated to the end of the line at some point, Huang Shilang looked complicated, and looked at Huzi silently.
The cold hair on Huzi's body stood on end, his eyes burst with murderous intent bursting, and he roared angrily: "Stop advancing, the whole army retreats!" As he spoke, he took out an iron rod in his hand and rushed towards Huang Shilang first.
At this time, these Xiang Jiajun couldn't see that the situation was wrong, and immediately rushed back behind Huzi, but immediately after, they all stopped.
Groups of men and horses came out of the surrounding jungle, all dressed as horse thieves, but among the horse thieves, there were regular soldiers in helmets and armor.
It's all the costume of Xiang Jiajun.
A general slowly came out of the forest, holding a long knife in his hand, and looked at the tiger with a playful expression.
Huzi paused, looked around, front and back, left and right, all surrounded, has become a trend of catching turtles in the urn.
A sturdy horse thief leader slowly paced out with a blood-colored scimitar in his hand, a wolf-headed hat on his head, a deep scar on his face, and a beastly light in his eyes.
Wolf Tooth King, Xiang Jiajun Xiang General, Xiang Yan.
Huzi's eyes flashed with a light that almost devoured people, looked at Huang Shilang, and squeezed out three words from between his teeth.
"Why?"
Huang Shilang sighed and said, "Virtuous nephew, the general trend has gone, you can descend, so that you can keep the last bloodline of Brother Haidong." General Xiang Yan didn't have to bring so many people here, just because he promised me to let you surrender. ”
Xiang Yan shook his head and said, "It's not that I promised, it's General Xiang who loves talent and makes you loyal." ”
"Xiang Ji?" Huzi laughed miserably and said, "He has a grudge against me to kill my father, how can I surrender him!"
"The husband is not informal, the king is defeated, my general said, if you want to take revenge, you have to live first. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them showed strange eyes.
The Wolf Tooth King sighed and said: "It is worthy of being the pride of the sky, General Xiang is so bold and courageous, this king admires!"
If you want revenge, you have to live first, as long as you surrender, you can live, you can live and want revenge, you can do it at any time. This is what it means.
How confident or arrogant do you have to be to dare to do such a thing?
Huzi narrowed his eyes, looking at Xiang Yan and the Wolf Tooth King, as well as Huang Shilang, who had a complicated expression full of pleading, and his expression gradually became firm.
He clenched the iron rod in his hand and said word by word: "I, Xiang Yu, will not surrender, if you want to kill me, take your life!" )
