Liu Zongmin's wife has a gentle temperament, and her husband is in a heavy mood, so she silently stepped forward and handed Liu Zongmin a bowl of water, where she softly watched him drink until there was not a drop left, and then asked with a glutinous smile: "Are you going to see you tomorrow?"

Before the uprising, he was a jailer, and later he was dismissed by the imperial court like Li Zicheng, a post soldier, and became a blacksmith because of his ancestral skills. Later, because the creditor came to collect the debt, and insulted his wife in front of him, he drew a knife in anger and killed people, so he was imprisoned on death row.

In the past, they were also in prison, because Liu Zongmin was righteous, so he took care of him when he was in prison, so he did not suffer any crimes, but the cell leader suffered the benefits of the bitter lord and wanted to secretly torture Zongmin in prison. Thanks to the fact that he made these prison guards as friends on weekdays, his prison brothers immediately informed Zong Min after getting the news, so he angrily killed the official and fled, and together with these jailers, he joined Li Zicheng's old eighth team.

Liu Zongmin didn't look at his wife deeply, "I was almost surrounded to death, but fortunately, my brother is outside, although life and death are unknown, it is also a glimmer of hope......"

He lowered his head, and did not say what he felt in his heart just now, how much he hoped that there would be a camp roar in He Renlong......'s village not long ago!

As a jailer in the past, he knew very well that there was a similar saying in the prison at this time, that is, because of the repression in the prison and the harsh punishment, the screams of the prisoners often broke out suddenly in the middle of the night or early in the morning, and then a large number of prisoners went crazy, and then tore each other, beat each other, and killed each other; and even they bit each other, all kinds of terrifying madness would explode at that moment; and after the prison whistle, a large number of prisoners often died, and once this happened, their superiors, the jailers, did not dare to order suppression.

Liu Zongmin didn't dare to look at his wife's eyes, his heart was almost desperate, because he knew that as the chief general of the whole army, once this thought was revealed, it would be a fatal blow to the leader of the whole army, so he was even more silent.

"Li Buzhi, will he come to help?" There was a hint of hope in that soft and weak voice.

Liu Zongmin still lowered his head, did not see the despair in his wife's eyes, he did not dare to have any illusions in his heart, if he was replaced by himself, it would also be difficult to choose, Li Guo and Shuangxi only took away five hundred soldiers this time, and most of the men and horses who made up for it were Ding Zhuang who had recently surrendered and was coerced by the handkerchief, and all that could be counted on was two hundred tigers, and the dozens of people brought by Shuangxi were carefully selected from their own pro-soldiers, but they were scattered among thousands of troops, but it was not enough to see.

Liu Zongmin's wife stared at her husband for a long time, both of them were silent, she raised her hand to the two pro-soldiers in the tent, and the two pro-soldiers withdrew from the tent with interest.

In Li Zicheng's tent, Huimei finished cleaning up the teapot and teacup on the low table, and Huiying and the two withdrew outside the tent, as soon as they came out of the tent, they suddenly heard two miserable shouts from the woods: "King Chuang, help!

Then another scream was heard......

Hui Mei and Hui Ying threw the two family items into their hands, and they all drew their swords in their hands, and the eyes of the two of them were also full of surprise.

Immediately, the curtain behind them was lifted, and Li Zicheng's wife Gao Shi walked out first. At this moment, three or four women with disheveled hair staggered from the woods not far away, and they cried out for help as they ran.

Mrs. Gao was shocked, she also drew her sword in her hand, and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"

I don't know when, Li Zicheng and his pro-general Li Qiang have already reached the side of the forest, Li Zicheng nodded at his pro-general, Li Qiang gestured to the others, and rushed into the forest first.

One of the women who ran at the front gasped and said, "Madam...... Save...... Help!"

Another elderly woman said, "Soldiers, soldiers must kill their wives and children first!"

Before Mrs. Gao could ask the second sentence, she saw Hao Dayong's woman holding a man and a woman with two children, and the older girl escaped from the mountain road in the other direction with a small burden in her arms.

A few feet away from Mrs. Gao, she suddenly stopped, hesitated slightly, pushed the two children into Huimei and Huiying's arms, and she turned her head and ran to the cliff where Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin had stood.

At this time, Li Zicheng and his own soldiers had already arrived in the forest, and saw that his Chinese soldier Wu Ruyi was carrying a sword, and at his feet was a woman in a pool of blood, and another woman next to him knelt on the ground, crying in a trembling voice: "Wu Ruyi, you kill, you kill my mother and son...... Kill us, and you will be able to fight your way out of the encirclement without any worries......"

Li Zicheng motioned for Li Qiang to quietly bypass from the side, and let a few pro-soldiers surround him from the middle of the four sides, but he himself did not make any noise and quickly pounced there.

"In the future, if you win the world, you will remember that we are married husband and wife, and remember that I have endured a lot of hardships with you in the past few years...... Do it!" the woman knelt on the ground and stretched her neck, tears on her face turning into determination.

The woman was no longer afraid, and knelt on the ground with her neck straightened and waited for her husband to kill him......

Outside the forest, in the arms of Huiying and Huimei, the two and a half children saw their mother running to the cliff, and they also struggled to get away from Huiying who was stunned, and the girl didn't cry much, she took her brother's hand with one hand, and lifted the small skirt with the other hand that couldn't distinguish the color, and the two sisters and brothers ran in the direction of their mother.

Mrs. Gao shouted at her male soldiers, "Don't catch up with them yet!"

Zhang Wangcai, the leader of her own soldiers, immediately ran over there, and as he ran, he shouted, "Sister Yingzi, Huimei......!

Hao Dayong drunkenly carried the sword, strode out of front of the Gao family and chased after him, only to hear Mrs. Gao's tears and shouting: "Wave the flag! You stop me, don't hurt their mother and son." ”

Hao Shaoqi's footsteps paused slightly, but he still didn't give up, the sword was still held high, and he refused to put it down. Mrs. Gao took a few steps forward, and she asked sharply with a very cold expression: "Shake the flag, are you crazy, how can you kill your wife and children?"

Hao Shaoqi didn't mean to put the sword down at all, because he had drunk. His voice fluttered, and he snorted a few times, and said to Mrs. Gao: "I will kill them so as not to be burdensome, and lest I fall into the hands of Renhe Renlong and be humiliated alive." ”
