The voice came into his ears from outside the city gate, Zhang Si's heart was full of joy, and then he said anxiously:

"My lord, my lord, my lord's cousin is now outside the city gate, I hope your lord will let the grass people take medicine!"

When the people standing in the distance of the city gate saw this, many people sighed, but they didn't think that this young man named Zhang Si wanted to break into the city gate for his mother, but there were still some people who secretly hated Zhang Si, lest he delay the time to go out of the city because of his affairs.

The soldiers defending the city this time are all soldiers who have experienced several wars, and the young master soldiers who are stationed in the city and are responsible for guarding and patrolling, are essentially different, and now if the soldiers who originally defended the city are replaced, even if Zhang Si is not killed on the spot on the charge of trespassing on the city gate, he will inevitably be beaten, where will he have the opportunity to tell the truth.

Zhang Si said, did touch the heart of the general defending the city, he fought abroad for many years, the elderly mother was alone in his hometown, until a letter from home came, only to learn that the old mother is no longer alive, not to see his mother for the last time, has always been an irreparable scar in his heart.

"Knock knock~"

Seeing Zhang Si, who was still kowtowing, the general defending the city couldn't help but sigh:

"Well, you should get up first. ”

When Zhang Si heard this, he stopped kowtowing, his forehead and hair were stained with scarlet blood, and the blood flowed down the side of his cheek slowly......

"Adult ......"

The general defending the city shook his head slowly, and his tone was a little helpless:

"If it were left on another day, it would not hurt for this general to let you take the herbs, but these days, you can see the soldiers patrolling the streets, and Baiyue County is now on alert in the whole city. ”

"The order that this general has received is that when the hour comes, open the city gates, and the military order is like a mountain, and you must not disobey it, if this general asks you to take herbs today, once he is punished in the future, he will be implicated along with the dozen or so brothers behind this general. ”

"It's not at the right time, and I can't help the generals. ”

Zhang Si's expression immediately became extremely stiff, blood slid down his forehead to the corners of his eyes, and the general saw that Zhang Si, who was loveless, also shook his head with emotion, and just turned around to leave, he noticed that his leg was being hugged.

Mother's life is in danger, only by getting the herbs within half an hour, can the mother have a chance to live, Zhang Si is unwilling to give up, I saw him holding the general's thigh with both hands, and then sobbed and pleaded:

"Your Excellency...... Please, please, as long as you can save my mother, Zhang Si is willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life, and repay the kindness of adults......"

The general defending the city twitched his legs, but Zhang Si refused to let go, and the general then spoke in a deep voice:

"You let go, this matter is related to the lives of more than a dozen brothers, you have an old mother, and the brothers under this general also have fathers and mothers, and some of them have married wives and had children, do you want this general to let them all lose their lives for you!"

"Hurry up, the military order is like a mountain, this general has to follow, if you want to blame your mother's emergency, it's really not the right time. ”

After the generals persuaded each other, they found that Zhang Si still refused to let go, and they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, so they raised the spear in their hands and pointed at Zhang Si's head and threatened:

"Don't think that this general is good at talking, he is giving you one last chance, and if you don't let go, the tip of this gun will pierce your head!"

As soon as he heard what the general guarding the city said, Zhang Si had no choice but to let go of his hands, but if he couldn't get the herbs, his mother had only a dead end, Zhang Si knelt on the ground, his voice trembled:

"My lord, the grass people only want to get life-saving herbs today, and the grass people are willing to exchange their lives for one life!"

I only heard Zhang Si's tone become firm:

"When the time comes, the adults will say that the grass people broke into the city gate alone, and then the grass people will be arrested, and the adults and their brothers will naturally not be held responsible. ”

When the general defending the city heard this, he slowly turned around, looked at Zhang Si who was lying on the ground, and snorted coldly:

"Boy, what you think is a little too simple, today the city gate is opened because of you, no matter what the reason, this general is guilty of dereliction of duty, even if you want your life, what can you do?"

After saying that, the general defending the city stood on the ground with the spear in his hand:

"Okay, don't waste time here, there is still half an hour before the city gate opens, and at that time, whether you take medicine or go out of the city, this general will naturally not stop you, just bless your mother to persevere." ”

"Now when you go home, you can see your mother for the last time. ”

The generals defending the city returned to their posts, and on the blood-stained battlefield, these soldiers had long been tempered by the ruthlessness of the corpses, and only one person died in front of them, but he couldn't make any waves.

"Tick~Tick~"

Blood dripped down the wound on his forehead and gradually dripped on the ground, Zhang Si's heart was like ashes, his face was as white as paper, without blood, seeing that his eyes were dull like puppets, and his palms were full of dark yellow calluses, and he grabbed the land with five deep finger prints.

There is blood and tears flowing in his eyes, Zhang Si knelt on the ground for a long time, not that he didn't want to, but Zhang Si's whole body had no strength to use, his father died in an accident less than a year after he was born, these seventeen years, and his mother depended on each other, but now his mother is going to pass away, Zhang Si feels that his sky is about to fall, and even a moment of thought flashed, maybe he can leave with his mother, so that she will not be lonely and lonely, it is also excellent.

Seeing this, Liu Laohan also lamented again and again, he and Zhang Si's father are close friends, and now seeing such a change happen in his friend's family, it has to be heartbreaking.

With the kind support of the village woman, Liu Laohan hurriedly ran to Zhang Si's side, looking at Zhang Si, who had no master of the six gods, as if he had lost his soul, Liu Laohan patted him on the shoulder:

"Little Si, your mother has lived for most of her life, ups and downs, although she has not enjoyed any good fortune, but it is also a major illness, even if it is this emergency, she has only suffered for three days, it is enough to be regarded as a good death, and in the future, Grandpa Liu will be your relative. ”

Zhang Si's eyes gradually regained a little brilliance, and he saw him staring at Liu Laohan's wrinkled old face, his chapped lips opened and closed slightly, and he whispered:

Liu ...... Grandpa Liu, I, I can't save my mother......"

"Little four, grandpa knows, grandpa understands, you have done your best, and the three brothers Zhang and your mother will not complain about you. ”

Liu Laohan dragged Zhang Si's arm and wanted him to get up:

"Get up first, the ground is cold, let's go home first, what your mother needs most now is your company." ”

With the support of Liu Laohan and the village woman, he slowly stood up, only to see Zhang Si's calves weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

"Go home...... ...... home."

"Grandpa Liu, it's useless...... Let's go home and see my mother. ”

Zhang Si looked like he was out of his mind, a little stupid, things had happened to such a point, no one could guess, Liu Laohan kept sighing and shaking his head, carefully supporting Zhang Si, who was as weak as he had just recovered from a serious illness, and walked towards the end of the street step by step.

The people couldn't help but feel sorry in their hearts, sighing that this Zhang Si was such a filial child, although they were dissatisfied with the guards, complaining that they were not close to the world and did not understand human feelings, but they only dared to talk in their hearts.

Less than a mile away from Baiyue County, on the wide and long official road, a pitch-black black ink color, whining and wooing spread, and for a while, the killing aura swayed upward, driving into the sky, and the dense sound of horses' hooves and the sound of iron armor colliding spread for miles around.

When this cloud-like black approached the eyes, I realized that it was a huge army, this army was cavalry in front, infantry in the back, neatly lined up, but I saw that some of the infantry had swords hanging from their waists, carrying heavy shields, and some were holding spears and bows and arrows, and each branch of the army formed a phalanx, marching forward in an orderly manner.

The soldiers were well-trained and uniformly armoured, and they were all dressed in pitch-black armor, but this armor was different from ordinary armor, not only was this armor all black, but the surface was covered with fragments of iron armor like fish scales, and the soldiers' entire body was tightly covered, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes.

The war horse under the crotch of the cavalry is also covered with black armor, which is full of a heavy sense of power at the same time, but it is not bloated, which can be described as majestic and imposing.

The cavalry army is also the elite of the elite, one of the soldiers holds the military flag, and sees that the military flag is red as a whole, fluttering in the wind, as if it is infected with blood, above the red military flag, there is a big "dive" above, and behind the "dive", is the word "black scale army" written in black ink!

This is the famous Black Scale Army in the world, the Black Scale Army, as the strongest army of the Qianlong Dynasty, has been guarding the border for decades, and has made great achievements, not only blocking those who are willing to attack, but also relying on strong force, the other countries bordering the Qianlong Dynasty cannot be suppressed.

Since its establishment, the Black Scale Army has incorporated the world's aspiring and cultivated warriors to serve the country, and has gone through thousands of battles of all sizes, and still maintains the myth of undefeated.

Walking at the forefront of the cavalry, there were several generals dressed in gorgeous black armor and red mink furs, the armor of these generals was different from that of ordinary soldiers, and the armor they wore was carved with silver patterns on the chest.

This person is wearing light black scale armor, the red mink fur behind him is hunting, he is not wearing a helmet, he looks about fifty years old, his temples are already a little white, he has a standard Chinese face, the jaw is as sharp as an axe blade, the thick sword eyebrows are like a sword out of the sheath, a pair of eyes are clear and sharp, and there is no trace of vicissitudes left because of the passage of ruthless years.

The fully armed sturdy war horse rode under the crotch, with a simple black long knife on his belt, his eyes were like torches, and he was blazing, but at a glance, if there were thousands of swords rolling on, he was the general who controlled the 100,000 black scale army in the world, the king of Zhennan of the Qianlong Dynasty, Qianjiang!
