Chapter 108: Faithfulness
Tian Sidao was already bleeding from the feather arrow in his body, and he was afraid at this time, how could he stop Luo Erhu, the black man's vigorous slashing?
In just a few breaths, everyone saw Luo Erhu grabbing Tian Sidao's messy hair with one hand, swinging a knife with the other hand and struggling to cut off the bloody head, and threw it straight into the air without looking, "Gu Dong" A pillar of blood spurted from his neck, allowing Tian Sidao's body to twitch strangely on the ground.
"Shangzhu Kingdom is dead!" I don't know who roared in horror first, and then the barbarians around seemed to be frightened, and immediately scattered and fled in all directions, and the soldiers of the Tang Army also obeyed Li Yuan's military orders, and shouted one after another and began to chase and kill.
Listening to the fierce fighting and screams in his ears, Peng Shiyu had already regained his clarity, stared at Tian Sidao's dead face not far away, and took a deep breath. Then he turned his head and saw the little sister Peng Qingying beside him, who was tightly holding the terrible scar on her wrist, at this time tears welled up, she lowered her head in shame, gritted her teeth and whispered: "Qingying, big brother Fangcai-"
This is the first time that Peng Shiyu feels ashamed of himself in front of his little sister, only talking about the tenacity of his mind, he has always felt far inferior to the nineteen-year-old woman in front of him.
I saw Peng Qingying endure the pain and turn her tears into laughter, stretched out her hand and gently patted her brother's back, and said firmly: "Big brother, don't blame yourself, as long as you live!" Since Providence makes us immortal, I hope that Big Brother must cheer up! Now the thief has been ambushed......"
Speaking of this, Peng Qingying's eyes couldn't help but turn to the shining golden armor, at the moment of life and death, the tall figure that fell from the sky had made the girl's heart unconsciously surge, and her eyes also rekindled expectations.
But listening to the chaotic sound in the mountains and forests gradually weakened, a moment later, Luo Erhu, who was covered in blood, rushed to Li Yuan with several deputy generals, and replied with a smile: "Report to the commander, the enemy soldiers have all been killed!" β
Scanning the surrounding large area of rocky clearing that had been covered with blood and corpses, Li Yuan nodded lightly, and waved his hand to the generals: "The situation in the mountains and forests is complicated at night, and the whole army is ordered to quickly clean up the battlefield and release scouts to be on alert!" β
The generals were ordered to go, and Li Yuan led a few personal soldiers to rush to Peng Shiyu, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Peng has been injured?" β
Seeing the messy girl beside Peng Shiyu again, staring at him a little shyly at this time, Li Yuan didn't think much about it, and said casually with a chuckle: "Brother Peng, this is Mrs. Zun!" Well, young and beautiful, Brother Peng is so blessedβ"
"I'm not ......" saw Peng Qingying interrupt directly, staggered and gritted her teeth to get up, her face was slightly ruddy, and she suddenly lowered her head and trotted in front of Li Yuan, quickly found the silver hairband, and then turned her back slightly, quietly retracting her messy hair.
Peng Shiyu had just wanted to get up and thank him, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and hurriedly arched his hand and said earnestly: "Don't blame the handsome!" This is the housemate Qingying, who has always had no rules! I have thanked Li Dashuai for saving his life! β
This Peng Qingying's outstanding figure and appearance broke Li Yuan's original inherent cognition of the Dongxi barbarians, and at this time, he was squinting with some curiosity, and only then did he come back to his senses when he heard the words, smiled awkwardly, hurriedly turned his gaze to Peng Shiyu, and nodded: "Brother Peng, there is no need to be polite between you and my brothers, and it can be regarded as a coincidence that I can save you this time!" It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, hurry up and get on the horse with Ling Mei, and wait to go back to Langzhou City to talk about it! β
Peng Shiyu choked and nodded again and again, his heart was full of excitement and emotion, and he quickly cheered up without hesitation, gathered the dozens of surviving guards, and got on the horse with Peng Qingying in his arms.
The twilight is four, the mountains and fields are silent, and the battle here has long ended. After the battle, it does not mean that you can walk away, this time along the way, the officers and men of the Tang Army have no time to rest, clean up the battlefield, count the casualties, treat the wounded, calculate the materials and other actions are being carried out nervously and rapidly under the moonlight, and the smell between the nose is always the familiar but disgusting smell of blood.
In a short time, hundreds of barbarian corpses in the valley were lined up along the edge of the hillside, and the Tang soldiers piled up a large number of dry grass and trees and began to set fire to them.
Looking at the raging fire, and then the thick black smoke rushed straight into the sky, and the corpse squeaked as it burned, Li Yuan's eyes were like torches, he stood across his horse, raised his hand and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order and protects Peng Tingshi back to Langzhou City!" β
Along the way, Li Yuan told Peng Shiyu why he was able to arrive in time. Two days ago, Li Yuan decided to send an envoy to Xizhou again, and personally led the light cavalry to accompany him, because he did not know what happened in Xizhou, he needed to hide the traces of soldiers and horses, and did not dare to rush from the main road, so he decided to still follow the mountain road trail taken when he returned to the west.
Traveling hundreds of miles along the mountains and forests, until the scout came to report tonight, saying that among the rocks on a mountainside, he saw a large area of fire, Li Yuan led the soldiers to dismount and ambush, and the consequence really saw Peng Shiyu being besieged, and at the critical time, he released arrows to save the lives of the brothers and sisters.
The faint moonlight sprinkled softly, and Peng Shiyu, who was holding the reins, bowed slightly on the horse, and said solemnly: "Dashuai, the lives of my brother and sister were saved by you, and after that, but with Dashuai's dispatch, I will not care about life and death!" β
Li Yuan, who was walking on the side, didn't say much, raised his right hand slightly, slapped his chest three times with a serious expression, and then smiled heartily at Peng Shiyu. Xu is words are not enough, the former young master of Xizhou, at this time the surging heart is indescribable, can only continue to pause, with deep gratitude in his eyes.
At this time, Peng Qingying was hugging Peng Shiyu in front of her tightly, and suddenly noticed that her brother's body and her arms began to tremble, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Big brother, isn't this Li Dashuai a Tang man?" How can you understand my Dongxi oath ......"
Peng Shiyu took a deep breath of the cool air in the forest and replied in a low voice: "This matter is a long story! Li Dashuai not only swore an oath with me, but also an old acquaintance with Ah Gao, and he hit it off at first sight in the Tang Kingdom! Qingying, you should believe it this time, right? I told you a long time ago that Li Dashuai is different from those generals from Jiangnan in the past, not only is he wise and brave, but also attaches great importance to faithfulness, how can your eldest brother and second brother look away......"
"Hmm......" Peng Qingying, who had experienced many days of bad journey, seemed to be a little tired, just answered softly, then closed her eyes and leaned on her brother's thick back, listening carefully to the still strong heartbeat, letting the thoughts in her mind fly wildly.
After a while, I heard Peng Shiyu's calm voice accompanied by the fluctuating heartbeat: "Qingying, Li Dashuai's great kindness, I need to remember it in this life!" And right now, only Li Dashuai can help our brothers and sisters take revenge, you must ......"
