"The leader of the Shuofang army was killed by the big boss."

"The entire army was annihilated by our men......"

When he heard these two words, Shen Qu only felt a buzz in his head, and his eyes were dizzy, and the whole person was stunned.

What do they mean, what do they mean when the leader of the Shuofang army is killed, and the whole army is annihilated......

These two questions are always circling in my head, I can't figure it out, I can't think it clearly, and I have a splitting headache.

Across the door, the mountain bandits were still searching outside, Zeeland was so frightened that she couldn't care about anything else, her eyes were full of things in the room that could be used for self-defense, in case they broke in, she rushed up to fight them, so that she could protect the lady and let her run quickly......

And Shen did not feel scared at all, only felt that one of his hearts seemed to have stopped beating, I don't know if what they said was true or not, the pain seemed to be cut by a knife all over his body.

They are talking about Li Luansong, he should have arrived here a few days ago, and the large army of the Shuofang army asked him to send him to guard the border pass, about 5,000 people, yes, he seems to have only brought 5,000 people back to Beijing.

Was he killed by mountain bandits like this? Impossible, impossible, he is the most powerful general in Daye, how can he die like this.

Shen did feel that it was difficult to breathe, and a whirlwind of heaven and earth struck, followed by Zelan's soft cry in his ear:

"Lady, lady, what's wrong with you......"

Shen did faint, I don't know how long it was, and when he was about to wake up, he had a dream.

I dreamed that Li Luansong personally went out to fight the mountain bandits, and he charged into the front line, but he was plotted by others and died on the mountain, and he didn't even find his bones.

In that desolate and gloomy place, there was a river of blood and bones everywhere, Shen did cross the corpse mountain to find Li Luansong, but he couldn't find it, not even his sword, his armor, jade wrench, jade pendant, and incense sachet...... He couldn't find even a single thing that had fallen from him, and he disappeared into the world like air, as if he had never been there.

Shen was really scared, and suddenly woke up, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his chest in shock.

The dream was so real that she actually touched the corpses and smelled the pungent smell of blood.

The room was dark and cramped, and there was no light.

"Lady, you're awake."

It was Zelan's voice, Shen Qu looked at her and nodded, only then did he remember that they were still in danger.

Zeeland said: "Those people are gone, they don't find here, it's a false alarm." What do you think, lady, you're scared to death slaves. ”

Shen did say that it was okay, "It's just a little dizzy." ”

Zelan sighed and said: "The lady must have been tired of traveling these days, and it was easy to gain a few pounds, and she saw that she had lost weight again, what should we do next." ”

"Zelan, did you hear what they said about the Shuofang Army?" Shen was still not at ease, hoping that he had heard it wrong.

But Zelan said that he heard it, "It is said that the Shuofang army is completely annihilated, otherwise these mountain bandits would not have been rampant until daytime to come out to do evil." ”

Ah, it turned out that it was not a mistake, Shen Qu's heart was stunned, and a bitterness surged up.

"Don't worry, lady, the leader of the Shuofang Army they are talking about may not be His Royal Highness, it's better for us to find a place to settle down first, and then slowly inquire about the news." Zeeland comforted her, "The lady's body is important." ”

Shen did not say anything, looking out of the window with empty eyes, "Maybe they were mistaken, maybe ......"

"yes, yes, they must be mistaken." Zeeland said, "Let's stay for a few days, and it's not too late to hurry when we have news." ”

Yes, you have to take care of your body before you can find out the news.

Li Luansong will not die so easily, he will live a hundred years old.

At this time, Shen did understand that he cared about him so much, and his heart was as sad as a knife after hearing the news of his accident.

Cheer up, Shen Que, figure out the situation first.

She forced herself to retract her thoughts, looked at Zelan and said, "I'm fine, let's stay here for two more days, I want to know if he's okay." ”

Zelan nodded tearfully, "Okay, the lady has decided that the slave will follow the lady." ”

That night, the two of them still used the dry food they brought from their bags to deal with it, and they huddled in the small firewood room and slept all night.

Early in the morning of the second day, Shen did take Zelan to inquire all the way, and finally found a relatively safe place to stay.

It was originally a ruined temple, but later because of the death of the famine monks, only a few dilapidated temples remained, which were barely sheltered from the wind and rain, so many people gathered.

The so-called safety is just because the people gathered here are homeless and hungry poor people, and those who are not well fed and clothed naturally have nothing to steal and rob, so this place is not patronized by mountain bandits.

Almost every day, people die because they can't stand hunger and cold, but it's much better than hiding in Tibet and not knowing which day they will either freeze to death or be robbed and killed by mountain bandits.

The arrival of Shen Qu and Zelan attracted everyone's attention, because their clothes were still complete, and they even carried a burden.

The two walked through the crowd tremblingly, and Zeeland hugged Shen Qu's arm tightly in fright.

In order to make it easier for them to go out, they deliberately wore tattered clothes and wiped black ash on their faces, but they still looked many times stronger than the people here.

"Little lady, come here, it's still a little empty here."

An old woman waved at them with difficulty, then turned her head and began to cough, and the two of them hurried over and sat down in the open space beside the old woman.

"Thank you, auntie." Shen Qu hurriedly thanked him, and then turned his head and instructed Zelan, "Take out the water we brought and give it to the eldest lady to drink, and then take some dry food out." ”

The old woman coughed violently, shaking her head and wanting to refuse but couldn't say a word, Zelan handed over the kettle and dry food, and Shen said: "You have a long-standing cough disease, you need to be kept warm and conditioned, I only have some warm water and dry food here, you will press and fill your stomach." ”

The old woman took the thing and asked slowly, "You actually know how to heal?" ”

Shen said: "After reading some books, simple diseases can be diagnosed. ”

After speaking, he asked Zelan to take out the pill he brought from his baggage and handed it to the old woman: "Auntie, this is my homemade pill, it can moisten the lungs and relieve cough, you can eat some, we are from other places, passing by here, we don't have many things on our bodies, just like that......"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Qu saw the old woman waving her hand with wide eyes in panic, and before she could say anything to stop it, a gust of wind rose behind her, and the people who rushed up held down the two of them and snatched away the dry food in their hands and the burden they were carrying.

"You guys, how do you grab things?" Zelan was shocked, and wanted to snatch it back with tears in his eyes, but was pulled by Shen Qu.

The old woman hurriedly said: "The people here have been hungry for many days, and the government said that they came to deliver food every day, but they haven't come for two days, and I don't know if there is an accident, or they don't want to care about us." ”

was very helpless, looking at the people who snatched things, some of them sat back in place without grabbing them, and a pair of dirty eyes were still staring at the two.

And the one that was grabbed was still rolling on the ground and fighting, the burden was torn to pieces, and the only bit of dry food, water and herbs that Shen was used to carrying with him were turned out.

"Fortunately, the lady reminded the slave maid that she didn't pack the silver ticket and our important items in the baggage."

Zeeland palpitated, and his little face was still red with fright.

Shen Qu patted her gently, "Don't get in the way, we won't stay here for long." ”

At this time, those who were stronger were still grabbing the things in their baggage, and seeing that those herbs were also stuffed into their mouths, Shen Cheng hurriedly stopped:

"No, you can't eat that, that's an herb."

However, when there is time, they are already hungry and crazy, and what is stuffed in their mouths will never be spit out.

Although it was bitter and hard to swallow, it was swallowed.

"How did this Fengyi get to such a field?" Shen was very sorry, "No one in the government cares." ”

"The old men of the government have already run away with their families before the snow disaster." The old woman sighed, "Only if we ordinary people have nowhere to go will we be reduced to such a field." ”

"Then don't the capital know, there are no new officials to help the people?"

"Yes, why not, but when I came and saw all this, I left again." The old woman said, "There have been four groups of officials before and after, some of them are afraid that they can't start, and some are afraid that the mountain bandits will be too rampant and powerless, so they have all left." ”

Oh my God, how can this be.

"We're here, we can only wait for death." The old woman glanced at Shen Qu and Zelan, "Lady, the old woman advises you, while you can still walk, you should get out of here quickly." The locals are being watched and can't walk, you are just passing by, so let's go quickly by virtue of your identity. ”

The old woman was also kind, and Shen really understood.

"Auntie, we're here to find someone." Shen asked her, "Do you know that a few days ago, the Shuo Fang army passed by here, and I heard that there was a fight with the mountain bandits, but what happened later, do you know?" ”

"I heard they're all dead."

Someone next to him interjected, and Zeeland glared at the man.

"It's not so exaggerated, my son is our local garrison army, the old woman heard that there are 5,000 people in the Shuofang army, and the mountain bandits fought for three days, and then the mountain bandits were defeated and fled to the mountains, who knows that it is their lair, there are traps everywhere, 5,000 Shuofang troops, it's gone."

Oh my God, I fell into a trap.

"Is it really gone?" Shen Qu's voice trembled a little, "What about the leader and general of the Shuofang Army, is there any news?" ”

"I don't know." The old woman shook her head and said, "My son also fled because of his fate, and as for the chief general, we haven't heard of it." ”

"That means there's still hope for survival."

Shen Cheng said to himself, and then pulled the old woman and asked, "Does the eldest lady know those dead soldiers, where are they now?" ”

"The battle was fought in Wuyun Mountain, and I heard that the corpses were too late to be buried, and five thousand people were thrown in Wuyun Mountain, and now I am afraid that it has already become a mass grave."

The old woman said here to wipe away her tears, "My son has nowhere to go, and he lives in fear every day. ”

Shen was stunned, Wuyun Mountain is not very far from here, and it is only an hour's journey back and forth, she wants to go and see if she can find it......

"Little lady, are you looking for relatives, don't you want to go to Wuyun Mountain to dig up the corpse."

The old woman saw Shen Qu's thoughts, and hurriedly stopped, "I can't help it, don't say that the mountain of corpses, even the mountain bandits, the two of you can't go." ”

"But that's my ......," she said, holding back tears, "even if he dies, I'll collect his body." ”

Shen Qu naturally knew her good intentions, but if she didn't take a look, she would just leave, just in case...... Wouldn't she be uneasy for the rest of her life, not to mention, she always had a hunch that Li Luansong would not die like this, maybe he was waiting for her to save him.
