Chapter 38: Sacrificing His Life to Save Beauty

Yang Shucheng stood under the old tree alone, walking back and forth, constantly asking his heart, originally in love with Fang Xiaoli, ready to wander the world with her, but he knew that he mistrusted the spies, causing Fang Yuxuan to lose more than a dozen good brothers, although they did not blame themselves, but they couldn't stand the condemnation of their conscience.

Yang Shucheng was disheartened and wanted to live from now on, but he thought that his father's revenge had not been avenged, so he decided to go to the Taihang Mountain Hidden Dragon Sword to find Tong Yuhui, the enemy who killed his father.

Yang Shucheng made up his mind and walked towards the east.

On the afternoon of the third day, walking on Guanzhong Avenue, it was not far from Tongguan, only to see the yellow sand plugging the sky, the red land for thousands of miles, where is there a human smoke? I didn't expect that the rich land in Guanzhong, Qin Shi Huang became the first emperor of the ages, and now here is the famine every year, the victims rebelled, and the wolf smoke was everywhere.

I saw a person running in the distance, and there were more than a dozen people chasing and killing him. Running closer, there was a woman in front of her, full of wind and dust, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and the pursuer behind was dressed as an official soldier.

The woman had blood on her body. Watch her run closer.

It turned out to be acquaintances.

This woman is Gao Rong.

The wife of King Li Chuang, known as Mrs. Gao.

It turned out that in the autumn, in the Taihang Mountains, Yang Shucheng followed Li Xing into the tent camp of King Li Chuang, and had met Mrs. Gao.

Yang Shucheng saw Mrs. Gao running closer, and hurriedly shouted, "Mrs. Gao, run." I'm here to block it. ”

Yang Shucheng let Mrs. Gao raise his sword and stop at the intersection. Lady Gao did not run away, but stood behind him. The officers and soldiers quickly caught up and shouted: "Get out of the way, don't you want to live!" ”

Yang Shucheng didn't get out of the way, and those officers and soldiers raised their knives and cut them, so they were killed in one place. Yang Shucheng was one to ten, without fear, to give full play to the depression of the past few days, the long sword in his hand was like a swimming dragon, stabbing a sword in the left and another sword, constantly using tricks, and soon killed more than a dozen rounds.

It's been a long time, and Yang Shucheng can't stand the other party's large number of people, but he is in danger.

Yang Shucheng was busy and shouted, "Madame, run." ”

Lady Gao did not run away, but stood by the side of the road and watched the battle. Where can Yang Shucheng take care of her, seeing a knife coming, he can no longer be distracted, and he concentrates on dealing with the enemy. When those officers and soldiers saw that he dared to fight, they also regarded him as a woman's side, and they were ruthless, ready to deal with him first, and then arrest the woman.

After all, Yang Shucheng is not an opponent of the official army, he has been injured in many places, and if he continues to fight, he will be splashed with blood.

Yang Shucheng was discouraged and thought, "That's it, that's it, I'll die here today." Regardless of his life, he used a trick to "praise his father and chase the day", stabbed at the other party with a sword, and when the other party dodged, he hurriedly shouted: "Escape." ”

As he spoke, he was stabbed again, and blood came out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gao hurriedly rushed up with her sword and killed the officers and soldiers.

After more than a dozen rounds, I saw that Mrs. Gao's swordsmanship was perfect, as if she had entered a no-man's land, killing the officers and soldiers and fleeing in all directions. Yang Shucheng couldn't help but be depressed after reading it, and said in his heart: "I said I wanted to save her, I don't want to be saved by her." ”

I saw that Mrs. Gao's sword flashed and stabbed an officer and soldier in the chest, the officer and soldier's body was crooked, and he fell to the ground, and when the other officer and soldier were stunned, Mrs. Gao took a step forward and stabbed with a long sword, and immediately stabbed it, and the officer and soldier fell to the ground again.

Yang Shucheng was encouraged, and the long sword stabbed continuously, although he could not stab the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers were elbowed, and Mrs. Gao was scrupled, so she was able to sprint vertically and horizontally, stabbing several officers and soldiers one after another.

The leader of the officers and soldiers had wanted to capture the woman so that he could go back and receive the reward, but now not only could he not receive the reward, but he was afraid that he would lose his life here, so he called out, and the officers and soldiers fled with him.

Mrs. Gao looked at the officers and soldiers fleeing without a trace, then turned around and said to Yang Shucheng: "Brother Yang, thank you for saving your life!" Although they met once, Mrs. Gao still remembered him, and also knew that he had helped a box of treasures, so King Li Chuang was able to break through.

Yang Shucheng said curtly: "I'm sorry, my swordsmanship is very poor." ”

Mrs. Gao looked around at the desolation and asked, "Brother Yang, how did you get here?" ”

Yang Shucheng mistakenly believed in the spies, and was feeling guilty, where did he dare to tell the truth, so he deceived Mrs. Gao and said: "I'll go to Guanzhong to play." ”

Mrs. Gao said: "Now there has been a drought in Guanzhong for several years, the hungry people are all over the field, the officials are forcing the people to rebel, and several large armies have entered Shaanxi to clear the hungry people. Brother Yang, Guanzhong is in chaos now, you are not here to play, you are not telling the truth. ”

Yang Shucheng saw that Mrs. Gao had a gentle temperament and a heroic appearance, so he couldn't lie to her, but he just bowed his head and didn't say anything.

Mrs. Gao had already guessed a few points, so she asked, "Brother Yang is looking for Mr. Li Xingli?" ”

"Hmm." Yang Shucheng nodded.

Mrs. Gao said: "A few months ago, several large armies of the imperial court entered Shaanxi to suppress the troops of King Chuang, and now the team has dispersed, and Mr. Li followed King Chuang to retreat to the Shangluo area to hide. ”

Yang Shucheng thought to himself, Shangluo Mountain is just east of the Qinling Mountains, and at that time, Song Min, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, said that he didn't believe it after all, it turned out that she really had the ability to predict the future.

Yang Shucheng said: "No wonder I went to Qinling Mountain to look for nearly a month, but there was no news. ”

Mrs. Gao said: "I want to go to northern Shaanxi, go to find the old department that has been scattered, and prepare to make a comeback, and I can't accompany Brother Yang." Brother Yang should be cautious along the way, there are many spies in the official army now, don't trust others. ”

This is talking about Yang Shucheng's sore spot, he couldn't help blushing, endured it for a while, and said: "Fang Yuxuan's hero is ready to throw himself under the command of King Li Chuang, looking for King Chuang everywhere, they are now heading west to Gansu." ”

Mrs. Gao said: "King Chuang invited Fang Daxia to the rebel army several times, but he didn't agree, and he didn't want to come to King Chuang when he was in the most danger. Fang Dashan is really a real hero and a hero! ”

Mrs. Gao looked at Yang Shucheng, although he had a long sword in his hand, but his body was thin and weak, although he was brave, his swordsmanship was not superb, and she was afraid that he would have to worry about his life along the way, thinking that he had sacrificed a box of treasures to save King Li Chuang's troops, this kindness, she had to care about him, so she continued:

"Originally, Brother Yang saved my life, I should have escorted Brother Yang for a ride, but I have something important to do, and I can't delay it, so I will send you out of Tongguan and to Henan, and the ground is too peaceful."

Yang Shucheng hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Mrs. Gao's matter is related to the safety of King Chuang, and it cannot be delayed. Although I am alone, I am not afraid of a few thieves, and even if I can't win the battle, I will run away very quickly. ”

"Brother Yang is right, if you can't win, run away." Mrs. Gao looked at the east and said, "Tongguan is not far away, we will walk together for a while, and when we get there, it will not be too late for us to break up." Let's go. Then he lifted his feet and walked eastward.

Yang Shucheng saw her walking towards the way she came, which was the direction of the officers and soldiers retreating, thinking that although she was a woman, she was rare and heroic, so he followed a few steps and walked east side by side with her.

Along the way, Yang Shucheng was depressed for days, and he also wanted to find someone to talk to, so he told the story of going to Guanzhong to find Li Xing, mistakenly believing in the spy Gong Zhongjun, and killing more than a dozen brothers.

Mrs. Gao comforted him and said: "I can't blame you for this, you are new to the rivers and lakes, you don't know the dangers of people's hearts, and some people do anything shameless for the sake of fame and fortune." It's just that you should be cautious in the future and never be fooled again. ”

Yang Shucheng was persuaded by Mrs. Gao, and the discomfort in his heart was slightly better, and he couldn't help but raise his head.

The two of them walked east as they spoke. There was not even a single figure along the way, and everywhere was very desolate, and even if you encountered a village, it was dilapidated and rarely inhabited.

On the second day, he walked for more than an hour. By this time the plain had been exhausted, and the mountains on both sides had become more and more numerous, and after a little more walking, the mountains had become high and steep. Yang Shucheng said:

"Mrs. Gao has something important to do, so I will pass through Tongguan on the mountain road, and I don't expect to be in danger."

Mrs. Gao looked at Tongguan and said: "King Chuang is now the most difficult time, and I can't send him off, Brother Yang take care of it all the way, and we will meet again in the future." ”

The two raised their hands to say goodbye, and Yang Shucheng stood on the way, watching Mrs. Gao take a big stride, all the way to the west, and soon the long journey in the west disappeared.

When Yang Shucheng saw that Mrs. Gao had left, he couldn't help but feel stunned, and Mrs. Gao's heroic appearance lingered in his mind.

Yang Shucheng walked along the mountain path towards the east.

On this day, I walked to the place where the Wei River flows into the Yellow River, standing on the high mountain, but seeing the water of the rolling Yellow River going all the way to the east, mighty and unstoppable, it is really a great spectacle between heaven and earth, and I can't help but feel heroic, thinking about the magnificence of the rivers and mountains, how many heroes and heroes have emerged, and how many great achievements have been made.

Yang Shucheng looked north, on the Yellow River, there are Hukou Waterfall, carp jumping over the dragon gate of the wonder, want to travel, just want to take a step, but think of his own low ability, afraid of the future is dangerous, so discouraged, decided to go east to Taihang Mountain, looking for the Tong Yuhui, to avenge the murder of his father.

Yang Shucheng walked towards the east, walked to the halfway up the hill, saw a river temple, due to the war, the temple has been abandoned, see the sunset, decided to spend the night in the temple first, tomorrow morning again.

Yang Shucheng lay in the river temple, listening to the river surging all night, walking all night, very tired, thinking about revenge for killing his father, so that he couldn't sleep, he simply got up, sat on the threshold of the temple, looked at the bottom of the mountain, the moonlight was bright, the rolling Yellow River, the waves were surging, and it was flowing eastward.

At this time, I saw a ghost on the winding mountain road, carrying two heads, running up the mountain like flying.
