Outside, the sun was shining, looking up at the sky, squinting slightly.

The morning has passed, there are not many clouds to cover the sky, the sun is already a little dazzling, but it is only dazzling, this kind of light, coupled with the gentle wind, can blow people a little drunk. It's a happy weather after the rain, so something unpleasant shouldn't happen.

"Thank you, General." The old woodcutter bowed his hand.

The old man in the costume waved his hand, and when he turned around, he saw the appearance of the old woodcutter, and his cloudy eyes were a little brighter, but then he sighed, and gently patted the old woodcutter on the shoulder before approaching: "Old Joe, don't do stupid things, there are few old brothers left." ”

The old woodcutter took a step back and knelt down on one knee: "Don't worry, general, the humble post is just going to see his daughter off for the last time." ”

Hearing the word "girl", the old man in the Chinese costume once held the knife as steady as a rock's right hand trembled slightly, and he put his hand behind him without a trace, before he stopped trembling and said softly: "Old Qiao, you still hate me, right?" Hate that I didn't bring my brothers back alive in the first place. ”

"I don't dare."

"I know you hate me, so you haven't been back to the General's Mansion for so many years. Listen to me! ”

Seeing the old woodcutter kneeling down on his knees, the old man in Chinese clothes immediately scolded in a dignified tone, and quickly softened again, "I don't blame you, in fact, I have hated myself all these years, but what can I do?" At the beginning of the establishment of the imperial court, a great victory was needed, and I had to fight that battle well and make everyone afraid. Attracting the enemy is the most critical part of it, and success or failure is here, so except for the brothers of the Tiger Roar Battalion, I don't worry about who will go, but I didn't expect it, hey. ”

The old man in the Chinese costume was full of tears, but the old woodcutter was unmoved.

After a while, the old man in the Chinese costume relieved himself and wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, only to notice that the old woodcutter's eyes had been falling on the little girl not far away, sighed, and said: "I know that you have not forgiven me when you go back to the General's Mansion this time, but so that it can have a better life, but Lao Qiao, it is different from us, the shemale has different paths, not my race, and its heart will be different." ”

"General, I don't know what you're talking about, I just know that it's my daughter."

From "humble duty" to "me", the old man in Huafu has already understood his thoughts, and he doesn't know how to persuade this tough old man anymore, and now he is carrying a big family, and he is no longer the reckless young general he was back then, and he can't help his brother regardless of what he knows is wrong.

If you can't keep it, why force it, wait until you go below and then apologize to the old brothers.

"Go ahead." Seeing that the ritual was about to end, the old man in the Chinese costume waved his hand.

At the last sentence, the old woodcutter lowered his head: "I hope the general takes care." ”

After speaking, the old woodcutter got up and walked out of the small courtyard without looking back.

Shi Lan was tied to a makeshift altar, three Taoist priests sat around her, chattering in their mouths, and another Taoist priest held a peachwood sword with a yellow talisman in his fingers, constantly circling the three Taoist priests.

Shi Lan didn't know what they were doing, but as long as she didn't hit herself with a torch, she wasn't too afraid, and if she wasn't tied up, she even wanted to take the fruits that were placed in front of her to eat.

After a long time, when he saw the old woodcutter coming out, Shi Lan happily called "Grandpa".

Seeing that the person who came was wearing general armor, the Taoist priests did not dare to stop him, and let the old woodcutter walk over.

The old woodcutter looked at Shi Lan dotingly, and pressed the straw hat on her head: "Don't forget this." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the crowd.

With a sound of "receive", the Taoist priest holding the peachwood sword stopped turning in circles, lit the yellow fu, and sprayed the wine in his mouth forward, and the yellow fu suddenly turned into a fire dragon and ignited the small man on the altar.

Shi Lan's eyes widened, as if he really saw that there were people struggling in the flames, and that kind of unhappiness was breeding here, and his bound legs kept pushing forward, trying to get away from this terrifying place.

The armor soldiers on both sides saw it and hurriedly came over to hold Shi Lan up.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." The Taoist priest arched his hand and said.

The soldiers ignored it, but just escorted Shi Lan into the prisoner car, and after the team left the general's mansion, they headed towards the entrance of the vegetable market.

Along the way, there were many red and black armor soldiers, stretching forward in a mighty way, and the people on both sides were full of people, and people were curious and looked at each other.

There has been a lot of rumors in the city, and everyone knows that there is a monster in the general's mansion, who sucked up the vitality of an old ancestor who should have lived a long life without disaster or disease, drove away with a crane, and then killed the old mother who adopted it.

People were very curious about what this vicious monster looked like, and when they heard that they were going to burn this monster at the entrance of the vegetable market today, they all rushed to watch.

At first glance, I feel that it is different from ordinary children, full of blue hair, rare in the world, and after a closer look, it is even more terrifying, only to see that between the green silk, a branch like horns suddenly comes out, swaying in the wind, not like a dead thing, it grows on this head, this is not a monster what?

Shi Lan looked around, he couldn't see Grandpa's figure, as far as his eyes could see, there were only unfamiliar faces, everyone exuded unfriendly emotions, Shi Lan felt it, the fear in his heart was even worse, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it again.

The old woodcutter did not expect that there would be so many armorers, and it was almost impossible to take one person from the army.

But the old woodcutter was not ready to give up, and with the hilt of his sword in hand, he followed the procession all the way, looking for an opportunity, until he saw a cavalry squad standing not far away.

The old woodcutter walked straight over, and when the soldier saw it, his waist suddenly straightened a little.

The old woodcutter stroked the mane of the horse and nodded with satisfaction: "Good horse." ”

"General." The armorer holding the reins puffed out his chest and was full of pride.

"Okay." The old woodcutter patted the sergeant on the shoulder and looked at him approvingly, "Well-dressed, strict military discipline, very good." Whose subordinates are you, and what about others? ”

"Hui, General Hui, it's Captain Yang Yihe, he, he's in ......." The sergeant lowered his head, his voice trembling a little, and he didn't know whether to honestly say that his general was drinking upstairs.

The old woodcutter was pleasantly surprised, and exclaimed: "Oh, it's actually the little rabbit cub in Yihe, ahaha, I didn't expect to see him for many years, and he has been mixed up with the captain, I think he was still the most inconspicuous flag officer under the old woodcutter, hey, the years are not forgiving." Go, call him to the old woodcutter, and run around when he is on duty. ”

Jia Shi was still a little happy to see the general's old superior, but listening to the tone of the old man's back, he knew that he was definitely going to be beaten.

"Huh? Don't go yet. The old woodcutter said majestically.

"Yes." The armor instantly straightened up in response, and stepped back.

"What a good horse." The old woodcutter kept tapping the horse's strong muscles, and waited for the armor to go away before stepping onto the horse.

Seeing this, the armor on the side wanted to stop but didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of bumping into his boss.

"Drive!" The old woodcutter didn't care what their reaction was, and rode out on horseback, galloping through the streets guarded by the armor.

The people praised the white-haired and white-bearded old general when they saw that he still had such immediate skills. The armor soldiers along the way didn't know why, and they thought that it was a general who came, and they didn't dare to stop it, only the original cavalry squad hurriedly let a few people follow, but they were hung far behind.

"It's him! I know him. The city gate guard who was resting exclaimed: "Isn't this the second Qiao who has been in the city all the year round to deliver firewood, I said that I haven't seen him this year, it turns out that he has become a general." ”

The people on the side suddenly felt that they must be some kind of genius, so they would invite him to go out of the mountain to be a general at such an age.

In this way, the old woodcutter came to Shi Lan's prisoner car smoothly. But it was not possible for everything to go smoothly, and the general at the front of the team, when he heard the commotion in the rear, turned his horse's head and drove his horse in.

"Who's coming?" Immediately, the general pointed at the old woodcutter and shouted.

The old woodcutter ignored it, drew his knife and slashed towards the prisoner car: "Shi Lan, bow your head!" ”

Shi Lan heard the sound of horses' hooves before and turned around to see the old woodcutter, very happy, hearing the old woodcutter's words, suddenly remembered the words of the morning, and lowered his head while breaking away from the rope.

"Phew!"

The horse's hooves sparked on the ground, and as he approached the prisoner's cart, the old woodcutter pulled the reins hard, and the horse neighed, and its front hooves leaped high.

The old woodcutter took the opportunity to slash a few times at the prisoner car, as he used to chop wood, breaking the sharpness of the saber, even if it was not as often sharpened as the firewood knife, it was still more than that, but the person holding the knife was old, and he could only cut two pieces of wood, but it was enough for Shi Lan to come out.

"Shi Lan, come up."

Shi Lan crashed into the broken log, jumped over, and landed right behind the old woodcutter.

The old woodcutter changed his left-handed knife, grabbed Shi Lan with his right hand and brought it to him, and at the moment when the horse's hooves landed, he shook the reins sharply, "Drive!" ”

"Enemy attack! Stop him for me. The general drew his sword and drove his horse towards Shi Lan and the others.

The knife did not have time to change hands, and the old woodcutter let go of the reins, and a left-handed knife collided with the general. Passing by by mistake, the general seemed to hit a wall, flew backwards, and after rolling a few laps, he was unconscious.

"I didn't expect that it has only been a few decades, and the people who lead the troops are so unbearable." The old woodcutter shook his head, and rode towards the east gate, which was not far away.

An arrow exploded in the sky, the whole city was on alert, the gates of the four cities slowly closed, and countless armor soldiers flocked to the east city.

"General Li has an order, capture people alive, don't shoot them!" Suddenly, a horse came from the general's mansion, shouting constantly.

The archers, who had only released a few arrows, hurriedly withdrew their feather arrows and followed the other armor soldiers towards the east gate.

Seeing that the road ahead was about to be flooded by the armor, the old woodcutter roared: "The enemy is heading for the east gate, brothers, kill with me!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The shouts of killing shook the sky, suppressing the roar of the pursuers in the rear. After having a leader, the armor soldiers were no longer confused, and surrounded the old woodcutter and headed towards the east gate.

"Get out of the way! Don't stop the old woodcutter from killing the enemy! ”

The armor soldiers seemed to feel the old general's evil spirit, and they were all convinced, and the people who stood in front of the horses gave way.

That's the kind of evil that only people who have come out of countless wars have, and Yama can't stop it, who dares to stop it?

People don't dare, and they can only be stopped by the walls built by countless people.

"Open the gates!" The old woodcutter came with a large army and overwhelmed the city gates.
