One hundred and eighty-eight beacons

Kui Duoyou woke up slowly, and what caught his eye was still the familiar cell. He shook his head and thought: Am I not dead ------? Was everything that happened last night just a nightmare?

He tried to sit up, but the pain in his chest made it difficult for him to get up. He looked up with difficulty and lifted his neckline to see a large bruise from the bottom of his neck to his upper abdomen, all of which unmistakably told him that everything that happened last night was real, not a dream.

"General!" Just when he was puzzled, someone came to solve his doubts. Kui Duoyou grabbed Fang Meng, who came to deliver breakfast: "Brother Fang Meng, tell me, who saved me?" ”

Fang Meng scratched his head: "General, I don't know what's going on." It seems that Ho Kyung came to find the boss and whispered to him for a while, the boss didn't even have breakfast, and just after dawn, he got on a car and went back to Ho Kyung. ”

Could it be that Zhao Zimu sent me to save me? That's not right, Uncle Mi and they came back and forth, not so fast! Kui Duoyou asked again: "Have you heard any news?" Why did the priest hurry back to Hokyo? ”

"I heard," Fang Meng looked back, sure that no one was eavesdropping, so he lowered his voice and said: "This is also the news from the sacrificial guards, I heard that the matter of the horse plague in the Qishan camp was ginseng, and the royal court urgently summoned the sacrificial duke back to interrogate!" ”

"Then------- who is in charge of the Qishan camp now?" Kui Duoyou asked.

"Vice-marshal! However, when the priest left, he left a message, insisting that you had used the demon law to make the general, and the horses in the southern stable had a plague, and he ordered that you must be watched closely and wait for him to come back to deal with it. ”

"He's squirting blood!" Kui Duoyou was angry for a while, and pounded the bed board hard, and suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and couldn't help but "sizzle".

Seeing his painful expression, Fang Meng had the courage to press his chest and exclaimed, "Oops! General, you have a broken rib in your chest, and you have to keep it and you can't move anymore! ”

Kui Duoyou sighed helplessly: "Okay, even if you let me out, you can't move!" ”

Beiguan, these days, Liang Bo has been in a trance. He still doesn't know what happened to the Qin State Horse Farm, but none of the horses in his own gate can be used, and if he causes this catastrophe, how can he be investigated in the future? I want to just run away, but when I think about it, I feel discouraged, it's easy to run by myself, it's just to run to the grassland to be a slave. But my family can't run! After thinking about it, I can't make up my mind at all.

He happened to be on duty tonight, and he looked out through the lookout hole of the building, but saw that it was dark and silent, and only a bright spot in the distance was flickering slightly. He was bored, so he added some oil to the oil lamp, and sat down under the lamp to wipe his knife.

Suddenly, the lights flickered, and Liang Bo suddenly remembered something, his heart was like a heavy hit, and he jumped up in a hurry, and ran to the lookout hole to see the flickering bright spot. It's firelight! The light of the fire coming from the north-west of Wangseong-eup! That was the place where King Mu of Zhou had conquered and stationed the Lynx, could it be that they lit the beacon fire ------?

This surprise is not trivial, Liang Bo only felt dizzy, his hand on the wall, and it was easy to stand still. At a loss, he found that he had forgotten to bring the Diao Dou he used to strike during the warning, so he had to stumble down, shouting as he ran: "Get up!" Get up! The lynx called------"

The voice was hoarse and poignant, straight like a wolf's howl, and it was particularly thrilling to listen to in the dark and inky quiet night.

He hurried back to the barracks, his legs were already weak, his left foot tripped on the threshold unintentionally, and he fell heavily. Several sergeants were woken up by him, and scolded loudly, but he did not speak, but only picked up the bucket with his left hand, grabbed it casually with his right hand, and touched a pair of bamboo chopsticks for eating, and knocked them regardless of it.

Someone in the darkness asked, "Uncle Liang, what happened?" ”

"The Lynx ------ the Lynx are here!"

Liang Bo's voice was not loud, but in everyone's ears, it was no different from a thunderstorm, and there was a dead silence in the barracks at first, and then chaos. Everyone searched for their clothes and blades in the dark, pushing and colliding with each other, shouting and scolding, and complaining.

The fat commissioner also heard the movement, and while running to this side, he buttoned the collar and shouted, "Come and assemble in the yard!" ”

Several other barracks were also alarmed by the noise, and the lights came on one after another, and many sergeants opened the door and looked out. Uncle Liang didn't have time to elaborate on them one by one, so when he saw someone, he knocked on the bucket in his hand a few times, and knocked all the way over. ωω.net

The fat commissioner was impatient when he heard this, ran over and snatched the Diao Dou from Liang Bo's hand, and shouted, "You kid, don't knock on this thing." The eldest husband serves the country, he is worried that there is no battle to fight, and he is afraid of being invincible and can be killed. You only knock on this, as if we are afraid of the lynx! ”

When Uncle Liang heard this, he couldn't help but admire this fat commissioner who was a fool on weekdays: "I thought he was a mediocre person, but I didn't want to be a man!" He blurted out and asked, "Chief, but ------ we don't have horses!" ”

"Afraid of what? If you don't have horses, you will retreat and defend yourself, and you will have more arrows and crossbows, and you will shoot those turtle sons to death! The fat customs chief paused: "But the beacon fire still has to be lit, otherwise it will be a violation of military law." You kid go quickly, cause this monstrous disaster, why don't you hurry up and make meritorious contributions? ”

Liang Bo answered, and hurriedly moved the grass to the beacon tower in the pass. He carefully looked at the light of the fire in Wang Chengyi and muttered, "After lighting three piles, the number of people on the side of this crime must be more than a thousand, so that three piles of fire can be lit!" ”

He hurriedly divided the grass into three piles, and the dry grass caught fire as soon as it caught fire, and in an instant the fire was blazing, and three puffs of smoke rose into the sky. Liang Bo looked at the beacon fire in front of him, thinking about the battle that was coming in an instant, and his heart was excited, fearful, and a little helpless desolation. Maybe it's better to die here today, and when this matter is investigated in the future, for the sake of his own death, how can the royal court not be angry with his family, right?

At this moment, the sky was about to brighten, and a few strands of blood came out of the thick clouds in the east, and the blood lines became longer and longer, thicker and thicker, and brighter and brighter, dyeing half of the sky magnificently and inexplicably. Inadvertently, a round of red sun has erupted. The red sun rises and bathes, the heaven and the earth are red, the armor soldiers in iron clothes, the mourning and neighing war horses, the vast desert, the rammed city walls of loess------ everything is shrouded in this magnificent and indescribable sunshine.

Liang Bo stood on the beacon tower, and was arrogant for a while, and said loudly to the fat commissioner below: "Chief, if I die in battle today, you will bury me outside this fortress, so that I can see the sunrise here every day!" Also, I beg the court to look at my Uncle Liang's death in battle, and don't burden my family! After that, he took out the waist knife under his ribs, ignored the shouts of the fat commissioner, and climbed the wall of the north pass without looking back.
