Qin Yue didn't have the idea of fighting the fifth master at all, and she didn't even dare to think about it, although she needed it very, very much. Seeing that the fifth master went automatically, he was very moved.

She asked the fifth master, "What's in the baggage?"

Tan Wu whispered, "***." ”

Qin Yue was overjoyed when she heard this, and she immediately knew the intention of the fifth master.

It's been four days, and hundreds of people have not only dug up the wild vegetables in the valley, but also stripped the bark of the trees. Everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and the soldiers were leaning together in groups of three or five, all of them staring blankly, and they didn't even have the strength to speak.

Li Rugang, like everyone, hasn't eaten for two days. He had just made a strong look at the wounded soldiers, and was now sitting on the ground with his back against the trunk of a stripped tree, panting.

It has been more than a day since their personal guards Qu Yongfu and Cai Guilin went back to move the rescue soldiers, and I wonder if they have gone out? Since this morning, their right eyes have been jumping vigorously. The left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster, he feels that there is more luck and less luck. He also regretted and blamed himself for his haste to advance, the incompetence of the main general, and the suffering of the three armies.

Seeing that hundreds of his brothers were about to die here with him, his heart was very sad.

A deputy leaned over and said into his ear: "General Li, don't you know how to do kung fu? Why don't you lead a few people with kung fu to climb up the cliff in the back mountain, and how many can escape?"

Li Rugang shook his head resolutely, not to mention that he couldn't climb up with his triangular kung fu, but if he could climb up, did he have the strength? Besides, could he leave his brothers behind and run for his life? Is that a human thing?

Thinking that the deputy was also kind, Li Rugang didn't say anything more.

"If Qu Yongfu and Cai Guilin go back to the rescue army safely, this time should also come?" muttered the assistant.

Li Rugang didn't speak, he was also thinking like this, it seemed that there was no hope. Qu and Cai are likely to have had some accidents? If they can't go back, I'm afraid they can only despair when they wait for their hundreds of people.

Li Rugang closed his eyes, he wanted to recuperate.

Since they were all on horseback, the team traveled at a high speed. The road is just like Qu Yongfu they said beforehand, it can accommodate one person and one ride. Just be careful not to let the trunk of the tree cross your head hit right away.

It was not yet dark, and they had reached the foot of the mountain. Although the ascent up the mountain from this side is quite gentle, there is no light load from afar, and everyone is so tired that they are panting when they carry the grain from the horses to the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking down, you can already see the team trapped in the valley. It's just that people are so small that they can't tell who is who?

Qin Yue and the others connected the rope they brought. The mountain is too high, and with so many ropes, it is barely enough to catch two.

First put Qu Yongfu and Cai Guilin down with a rope, on the one hand, they answered at the bottom, and on the other hand, they reported to Li Rugang.

After the two people landed, they began to put food down. Qu Yongfu went to report the news, and Cai Guilin was below to receive the grain.

Qin Yue and Tan Wu, Li Ruyu, Hao Qian, and Fang Xiaomin were on guard all around.

The mountain was too high, and there were only two ropes, so it took some time to put the grain down. With such a steep hillside, people can't climb up, and it's particularly smooth to put things down; the so-called one disadvantage must have one advantage.

After putting down all the food brought, Qin Yue asked Aunt Xiao and Fang Xiaomin to go first, followed by Fifth Master and Third Brother Hao.

As she arrived, she instructed the little leader of the gang to take all the horses and return the way they came. The barracks were empty, reminding them to be on guard when they returned to the barracks.

Then he grabbed a rope and slipped down.

It is the closest bustling street in the capital to their homes, and Li Rugang and Qin Yi are talking and laughing on the street. On the opposite side, a group of drummers were blowing and playing in front, and a big red sedan chair carrying the bride followed behind.

At this time, I saw several scoundrels come forward to stop the sedan chair and rudely pull the bride out of the sedan chair.

The bride shouted loudly for help, and Li Rugang immediately rushed forward.

But there are many people on the other side, and they will hit each other twice, and Li Rugang was quickly knocked to the ground.

He was about to get up from the ground when he saw a knife being slashed at him.

He shouted at Brother Qin to help, but Qin Yi not only didn't help him, but also turned his head to the side.

Li Rugang was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, when he heard someone shouting General Li in his ear.

Li Rugang opened his eyes, it turned out that he had just fallen asleep and was dreaming.

"Qu Yongfu, they're back. ”

"What?"

Li Rugang didn't know where he got the strength, and stood up with a breath.

The moment he just woke up, he still thought that this mamade dream was too unlucky, and the dream also came to join in the fun and scare people?

Seeing that Qu Yongfu was walking towards him, he greeted Qu Yongfu excitedly.

The morale of the whole team was greatly shaken. There are particularly good physical fitness, and they also cheer up and automatically rush to the bottom of the cliff to receive food.

Li Rugang also took a few people to follow Qu Yongfu over, and when he saw the bags of grain put down one by one, Li Rugang ordered to make a fire to cook immediately.

Because everyone hadn't eaten seriously for a few days, Li Rugang was afraid of breaking people, so he asked to boil a few pots of porridge first.

Seeing Li Ruyu get down from the rope, Li Rugang was very angry, "Ruyu, why are you here? Who asked you to come?"

Li Ruyu saw her brother looking embarrassed, angry and distressed.

"Why can't I come? Who told me to come? Can't I let me come by myself?"

Seeing Fang Xiaomin beside Li Ruyu, Li Rugang hurriedly greeted him with gratitude.

Last time, Fang Xiaomin went to the barracks to report the news, and Li Rugang met with her. When he looked around again, his heart sank, and there was no one he wanted to see.

Li Ruyu took out a baked cake from her arms and secretly stuffed it to her brother.

Li Rugang took it with emotion, broke a baked cake into several pieces and distributed them to the people around him, and ate a small piece himself. Why is this baked cake so delicious? Li Rugang was reluctant to swallow it.

He asked Li Ruyu in a low voice: "Is there anyone else?"

Seeing Li Ruyu nodded, he was a little relieved.

Li Rugang went to the stove again and instructed him to cook the porridge thinner and rotten.

After waiting for a while, Li Rugang still didn't see the person he wanted to see, but he saw three people he didn't know walking towards him, and one of them had a big burden on his back.

Li Rugang thought that Lingnan Sanjie had come to help, so he greeted him.

But I heard a familiar voice: "Father-in-law, are you alright?"

It was clearly Yue'er's voice, but there was no one in sight. Li Rugang saw one of the three who made a voice, a man in his forties, with a full beard, looking at him with a smile.

"Yue'er is you?" Li Rugang was overjoyed.

"It's me, Father-in-law. Qin Yue agreed.

"Are you alright?"

Qin Yue looked up and down, and saw that his father-in-law was not injured, and he felt a little relieved.

"Isn't it nice to think my father-in-law?"

Li Rugang asked the other two in a low voice, Qin Yue laughed and told him that he was the fifth master and the third brother Hao.

Although the eldest and second eldest of the three heroes of Lingnan failed to come, with these three people, Li Rugang was also a lot more down-to-earth.

A soldier came to report that the other side had sent an envoy to see General Lee.

Qin Yue said to his father-in-law: "It should be here to persuade them to surrender, you can deal with them, and say that you will reply to them early tomorrow morning." ”

Li Rugang nodded in agreement. In order to prevent accidents, Qin Yue accompanied Li Rugang to the front of the battle.

There are two people from the other party, and one of the main ones is the descendant of Xu Da, that is, the second master.

Li Rugang saw the portrait of the second master and stepped forward to salute him.

The second master pointed to the side, "General Li, can you take a step to speak?"

Li Rugang nodded in agreement and went to the side with the second master.

"General Li, you've already eaten all the wild vegetables and bark, right?" the second master asked sarcastically.

"So what?" Li Rugang pretended not to care.

It's just that he really has confidence in his heart now.

The second master smiled, "General Li knows that in a few days, without our hands, you are destined to die here." ”

"Who hasn't died since ancient times?" Li Rugang smiled bitterly.

"Didn't General Li want to find a way to survive for himself and your brothers?"

"Do we still have a way to live?" Li Rugang pretended to be confused.

"The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. General Li wouldn't know these two lines of poetry, right?"

"Sir isn't here to talk to me about poetry, is he?" Li Rugang continued to pretend to be confused.

"Of course, there is a way to live, it depends on how the general chooses?" the second master finally got to the point.

"What's the choice? Li Rugang pretended to be very interested.

"Actually, it's very simple, it's a matter of your hands, as long as you withdraw the people sent to our base and don't care about this side of the matter from now on. The second master said lightly.

"Is it so simple?" Li Rugang pretended not to believe it.

The second master groaned, "Of course, there are still some things to do." For example, if there is something important, you must inform us. ”

"Doesn't that mean that I have become a traitor?" Li Rugang shook his head.

"Don't say it so ugly, you can continue to be your general and enjoy the court. We can even help you get some results so you can move up the ranks. If we are done, you will also be a great hero, so why not do it? Of course, if you make some kind of demon moth, we also have a way to make your life worse than death. "The grace and power of the two masters go hand in hand.

"This ,......," Li Rugang pretended to hesitate.

"We will keep it strictly confidential for you, and only a few of our high-level officials will know about your affairs, and now, you should understand why I want to talk to you individually. ”

"Can such a thing be kept secret? If it is leaked, it will be a crime to be copied from all over the house?"

"To be honest, there is no risk at all, but if you don't do what we say now, can you save your life? These hundreds of soldiers will also accompany you to die, don't you love soldiers very much? You are a person who understands, isn't it obvious where to go? Besides, you are a dignified Han person, why do you want to work for Qinggou?"

"Now I am alone in losing my life, and my family can still get pensions, if I betray the court, once it is revealed, will the whole family suffer?" Li Rugang is very good at talking.

"We're just talking about preparing for the worst, but it's not going to happen. Do you know how many people in your government have turned from darkness to light, and they are now being put to great use. ”

"Is this true?" Li Rugang seemed to be tempted.

"Can such a thing be used to deceive people?"
