Chapter 233: The Savior's Fiasco
Guo Rong, Du Chi and others had made up their minds, so they followed the Khitan soldiers who escorted Emperor Shi and Guigui of the Jin Dynasty all the way. The apex update started from Kaifeng at the earliest, and Guo Rong and others did not dare to act rashly because of the Khitan army stationed along the way. The group passed through the mountain road above the lonely valley and accidentally met Mei Jiutong. Mei Jiu informed everyone of their intentions, and couldn't help but sigh, and insisted on inviting Guo Rong and the others to the valley for a while.
Guo Rong, Du Chi and Mei Jiutong have always known each other, and they reunited in a different place at this time, although they were already things and people, they still shared weal and woe and made an appointment to rescue the emperor together. Mei Jiutong discussed with Zhai Jingyue and decided to leave her in the valley, where Le Yiyang would protect her and protect her life. Zhai Jingyue was unwilling to be separated from her husband, so she immediately packed her luggage, rode a horse and galloped out with everyone. Mei Jiutong shook his head helplessly, and then galloped to keep up with the team.
Xiao Cuixin watched everyone leave from the window, and wanted to go out to bid farewell to Mei Jiutong and his wife, but suddenly, he found that Du Chi was also among them. Du Chi has always admired Xiao Cuixin's talent and beauty, and if he meets him at this time, he will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Xiao Cuixin is now Le Yiyang's fiancée, and she is inevitably a little more reserved in her heart. At this time, seeing that Zhai Jingyue, who was in love with her sisters, left resolutely, she could only tearfully put down the window and pray silently in her heart, hoping that their actions this time would be thrilling and dangerous, and everyone would be able to retreat after completing the task.
Yerod was scheming, and expected that there would be people who risked their lives to rescue Shi Zhonggui along the way, so he had already arranged for two thousand archers to quietly follow the prisoner cart. Fortunately, Guo Rong and Du Chi didn't do it in advance, otherwise it is estimated that they would have been in a different place long ago.
After Mei Jiutong and the others set off, they traveled for more than dozens of miles and entered a long and narrow mountain road. Guo Rong and the others couldn't hold back the resentment in their hearts for a long time, so they divided the troops into two ways to attack the Khitan soldiers in charge. Mei Jiutong looked at the unfathomable cliff on the side of the mountain road, worried that there would be no hope of resurrection once he encountered an ambush, but when he saw the Ouchi guards flying out, he could only rush over with his wife.
Those soldiers saw that the prisoners were menacing, but they did not panic, and while surrounding the prisoner carts of the Jin royal family such as Shi Chonggui, they raised their broadswords and calmly responded to the battle. The Khitan soldiers were ordered by the emperor and did not dare to slack off. Guo Rong and the others were eager to savior and only wanted a quick solution.
Everyone met in close arms on the narrow mountain road, which was a miserable scene. After half a pillar of incense, the two sides were fighting inseparably, when green smoke suddenly rose from all around the mountain road, and then a long horn sounded sound. The sound of the trumpet resounded throughout the valley, and everyone present immediately stopped fighting, and all threw away their weapons and covered their ears with their hands.
Shi Chonggui and other Jin royal families were firmly bound in their hands, unable to withstand the huge sound of horns, and more than 100 people vomited blood in their mouths. The sound of the horn continued for a moment, and then stopped. Looking at Shi Chonggui and the others, they are all dying. There were several weak concubines who had been shaken by the sound of the horn and died.
After the sound of the horn stopped, archers in full armor poured out from all around the mountain road, and kept opening their bows and firing arrows at Guo Rong and the others. Guo Rong, Du Chi, and Mei Jiutong blocked the arrows while flying towards Shi Chonggui's prisoner car. Those archers were not afraid of death, and they all pointed their bows and arrows at him.
After several days of torture, Shi Chonggui had long forgotten about the restoration of the country, and at this time he just wanted to save the lives of himself and the royal family accompanying him, so he shouted loudly: "All Khitan soldiers must not release arrows, Chonggui has his own way to persuade the prisoners to retreat." After finishing speaking, he turned to Guo Rong and the others and said, "Guo Guard, I already know about your loyalty to the king. Helplessly, the general trend has gone, even if you rescue me, the mountains and rivers of the Jin Kingdom will be difficult to recover. It is a great luck that the king of the fallen country has escaped death since ancient times! All the guards should take care of their lives, and do not make unnecessary sacrifices for me!"
Those of the Khitan soldiers who could understand Chinese passed on this to the general. The Khitan general laughed when he heard this, and said: "These Jin State guards are so bold that even the prisoners of the Khitan Emperor dare to take them hostage. As the saying goes, there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into. In the end, the soldiers obeyed the order, and everyone except Shi Zhonggui could be killed. ”
Although Guo Rong couldn't understand the Khitan dialect, he already knew the meaning from the man's fierce expression. Then he led his men to forcibly rescue Shi Chonggui. The Khitan general was so angry that his beard rose, and he waved his hand again and again to release arrows. In the mountain road, the Khitan soldiers had already hidden a few feet away, raising their broadswords to wait for work.
There were only more than 20 Jin State guards who participated in this operation, and where could they withstand the sharp arrows that rained down, they fell to the ground and died at this time. Du Chi's martial arts were slightly weaker, and it didn't take long for him to be hit by an arrow in the front chest and back, and he fell from the outside of the mountain road to the cliff. Mei Jiutong had already been hit by an arrow, but she protected Zhai Jingyue to the death, preventing her from dying in vain. He took advantage of the Khitan soldiers' slack a little, and turned over from the cliff with his beloved wife.
Guo Rong saw that Du Chi and Mei Jiutong fell off the cliff one after another, and estimated that the lives of several people were not guaranteed, and he had already retreated in his heart. At this time, there were only four or five Jin State guards on the mountain road, and all of them were seriously injured except for Guo Rong. Seeing this scene, one of the guards faced Guo Rong and said, "Lord Guo, quickly order a retreat! If we continue to fight like this, not only will we die without a place to be buried, but I am afraid that the emperor's life will also be affected." ”
Guo Rong was stunned when he heard this, at this time he was already leaning against the prisoner car, and a stream of blood flew from the person who spoke just now, staining his clothes bright red. The guard was hit by more than ten arrows, and before he fell to the ground, he still struggled with his eyes, and said weakly: "Master Guo, go quickly!" Guo Rong looked at the man sadly, and before he could think about it, he was hit by a sharp arrow in his chest. He sighed deeply and stuck his sword in his hand into the ground strewn with corpses, no longer making any resistance.
Seeing this, the Khitan general was beaming with pride in his heart, and waved his hand to ask the Khitan soldiers behind him to stop attacking. The Khitan soldiers on the mountain road had long been gearing up, hoping to break Guo Rong's body into thousands of pieces, so as to deter the former people of the Jin State and break their determination to restore the country.
Nowadays, people are swords, I am fish and meat, and the stone is precious and it is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river. Shi Chonggui stayed on top of the prisoner car, and couldn't bear the former royal forest guards being hacked to death with knives. The Khitan general glanced at the soldiers in the mountain road, and more than a hundred Khitan soldiers removed the carriage that imprisoned Shi Chonggui and others.
It was only when the prisoner cart drove several miles away that these Khitan soldiers slowly approached Guo Rong. Guo Rong saw those Khitan soldiers holding their broadswords high, and everyone had a sinister smile on their faces, and scolded coldly: "Khitan Tartars, you are just running amok for a while. Eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again, and he will definitely expel you from the Central Plains. ”
