Chapter 63 Frustrated and wants to avoid strife, and is cold and just wants to find a paradise
Seeing this, Xiao Wanli shouted: "Stop!" The ears of the soldiers who shook him were buzzing, and he couldn't help but put down the blades in his hands and looked towards Xiao Wanli.
Seeing this, Wuding God took advantage of the distraction of the soldiers, and hurriedly pulled a woman to run towards Huang Duo and the others. When a few people ran closer, the woman saw Li Yan, cried "wow", and hugged Li Yan tightly. Li Yan was also shocked, hugged the woman, and said urgently: "Bi'er, how did you get here?
The woman was Li Yan's wife, Chen Bi, who was frightened for a while, and lay on Li Yan's shoulder and just cried. Wuding Shen recognized Huang Duo and the others at a glance, and arched his hand for the first one: "In Xia Gongwang, I have seen several seniors and friends. The five of us have been very sad since the death of our master in Huashan, and we want to go to Huashan to find Master's body for burial in the past two days. When we came here, we saw that this woman was being chased by officers and soldiers, and we thought that she had done something lawless, so we were going to capture her. She said that she was the wife of Li Mengzhu, but when she came here, she was taken by these officers and soldiers who took a fancy to money and wanted to rob money. When I heard this, my heart naturally became angry, so I protected her to fight with the officers and soldiers. Fortunately, the rank arrived in time to escape with his life!"
When everyone heard this, they all blew up the top beam gate in anger, and Li Yan pointed at the more than 100 officers and soldiers and shouted: "Who do you belong to! I am Li Yan, the deputy general of the Poyang Water Army, and I will be beheaded according to the military order!"
When all the soldiers heard Li Yan's shout, they were all stunned, and a leading soldier walked out, seeing that Li Yan and his party were only a few people, and they were not very strong, and sneered: "Poyang Water Village has been broken by the Tartars, Chen Zilong and Li Yan have both been killed in battle, where are you the gangsters? Brothers, this group of people must be the thieves nearby, slaughter them together, and take their heads back to ask for credit!"
As he spoke, the soldier saw Yaoguang beside Zhepeng, his eyes straightened, and the corners of his mouth flowed out. I saw him wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, pointed at Yaoguang, and said with a lewd smile: "Don't hurt this female bandit, I'll arrest her and torture her separately!"
When everyone heard this, they were even more furious, seeing that the more than 100 soldiers were surrounding them, Tianshu sneered, flicked his long sleeves, and the first few soldiers flew out backwards. Huang Duo and the others also spread their fists and kicks, and in a moment, the more than 100 soldiers were beaten and urinated. Huang Duo and the others saw that they were officers and soldiers of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so they did not kill them.
He Zhengdao looked at those soldiers and wailed, with a look of disdain in his eyes, and shouted: "Don't get out of here yet!" Those soldiers heard the amnesty, and they all hugged their heads and ran away.
Li Yan held Chen Bi and asked urgently: "Bi'er, those soldiers said that the water village was broken by the Tartars, and the father-in-law has been killed in battle, is this true?"
Chen Bi's mind finally settled a little, and he choked up: "Exactly, that day, Ao Bai led the army to encircle and suppress Shuizhai, my father was outnumbered, and when it was critical, I ordered a few personal soldiers to escort me to Hengshan to find you." But I didn't want to avoid the Qing soldiers butcher's knife along the way, but was robbed by the bandits and Nanming officers and soldiers along the road, and all the soldiers were killed, I met more than 100 officers and soldiers in Hengyang, if it weren't for these five strong men to protect each other, I'm afraid that I would have already encountered an accident, and I will never see you Brother Yan again!"
After everyone heard this, they only felt a nameless karmic fire rising in their hearts, and Huang Duo shouted: "They are so presumptuous, doesn't the court care?"
I only heard the hoarse voice of an old man next to me and said: "What's the matter, those dog officials in the court only fight for power and profit, who cares about the life and death of the people? In my opinion, this dog dynasty should have died a long time ago!" Everyone turned their heads to look, but it was an old woman kneeling next to a female corpse, a pair of tearful eyes with great hatred, and it was the old woman who spoke.
When Li Yan heard this, he argued: "What this mother-in-law said is wrong, the government is chaotic, and the foreign captives are attacking, so I should be more loyal to the country and support the society." ”
When the old woman heard this, her eyes seemed to burst into flames, and she said loudly: "The old woman has two sons, one was a soldier for Emperor Chongzhen and died in the field, and the second son was a soldier for Emperor Hongli and died a few months ago. My two sons died for the court, but I don't see any mercy from the dog court, and the old woman is the one who maintains it, and even the silver taels of the pension were swallowed by the county government dog official!"
The more the old woman spoke, the more excited she became, pointing to the female corpse in front of her, glaring at Li Yan and drinking: "Pity my second daughter-in-law, since she married into my family, she hasn't lived a good life for half a day." Yesterday, the officers and soldiers arrived, and when they saw that my daughter-in-law was a little beautiful, they actually defiled her to death, and this dog court, the dog officers and soldiers, are a few points higher than those Tartar beasts! Listen to what you just said, you are also an officer and soldier, and the old woman cursed that all of you will not die well, and you will all go to eighteen layers of hell!"
After that, the old woman picked up the stones beside her and threw them at Li Yan. Li Yan was dumbfounded by the old woman's words, sparing him for being intelligent, but he didn't know how to refute it. In the middle of the distraction, Li Yan didn't have time to dodge, and a blood hole was smashed out of his forehead, and blood gushed out to cover half of Li Yan's face.
Everyone took pity on the old woman, and they didn't care about her, and escorted Li Yan to walk back dozens of steps, but the old woman didn't come to chase after her, but just lay on the female corpse and couldn't stop crying.
Everyone looked at the old woman, and their hearts were full of desolation, and they were silent for a while. Gong Wang sighed: "Now that the foreign captives have not retreated, but the internal program is chaotic, and the soldiers have no military discipline, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty has no hope." Since Mrs. Li is still safe, I will take my leave. After that, Gong Wang and the five of them turned into fists towards Huang Duo and the others and were about to leave.
Huang Duo wanted to return the salute, but saw Gong Wang's eyes staring at him motionless, and a burst of murderous aura suddenly appeared on his face. Before Huang Duo could react, Gong Wang suddenly raised his knife, pointed behind Huang Duo and scolded: "Slut, you have harmed my master's life, God opened his eyes, let me see you here, and return my master's life!"
When Xiao Wanli saw Gong Wang's expression, a person flashed in his mind, and he shouted in his heart, so he stretched out his hand, grabbed Gong Wang, and said loudly: "Brother Gong, stop, you have something to say." ”
But said that the four people behind Gong Wang saw Gong Wang's expression, and couldn't help but be puzzled, and looked at Gong Wang's eyes, and suddenly they all breathed fire in their eyes, and they were about to step forward with their knives.
When He Zhengdao and the others were puzzled, they only heard Yaoguang walking out slowly, and said quietly: "Yes, Liu Wenshan was indeed killed by me, and the killing I caused was too heavy, if you want to pay for your life, just come and take my life!"
Gong Wang scolded: "Thief and slut, you don't have me today! Master Xiao Zhuang, this enmity is not shared, you don't have to stop it." Where Xiao Wanli and the others were willing to listen, they all stopped them and refused to let go.
Gong Wang saw that he couldn't help but snort a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, looked at everyone and said hatefully: "But I don't want to be a famous martial arts house, but today I am in the company of demons and evils." I, Gong Wang, don't have the ability to avenge my master, since you are protecting this demon girl, it is better to kill the five of me. ”
I saw Tianshu slowly speak: "Five friends, listen to me." I am Tianshu, and I also had several encounters with Liu Wenshan more than 20 years ago, and I have some friendship. Yaoguang is my seventh sister, if the five of you are determined to pay for her life, take my life. ”
Gong Wang was shocked when he heard this, and said: "The legend of the rivers and lakes that the predecessors of Tianshu reappeared in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't want it to be true. Gong Wang has seen his predecessors, and his family teacher often said that when he fought against the rogues, if he hadn't been rescued by his predecessors, he would have died early and would have been stabbed by the knife. Seniors, you were killed by Tianxuan, Tianji, and Yaoguang, and the family teacher also wanted to avenge the seniors, but his strength was shallow. When Yaoguang harmed you, how could you ever think of the love of brother and sister? Now why do you plead for Yaoguang!"
Tianshu sighed: "But that's not the case, she is my sworn sister after all, and now my other five brothers have gone west, I will protect her well, if you want to pay for your life, take the old man's life." ”
Gong Wang and the other five hesitated for a while, not knowing what to do. After a while, Gong Wang glared at Yaoguang hatefully, and said loudly to everyone: "In the past, the predecessors of Tianshu saved the life of the master, and on that day, Junshan and Fu Bo also died to save the master. If it weren't for the two seniors, the master would have been deceased long ago, and today the Tianshu seniors and the Huang brothers are here, and my brother definitely can't break this kindness. Today my five brothers are useless and cannot avenge Master. But this demon girl has done all the evil things, and if you want to kill her and then hurry up, how can you be my five brothers? Leave today, you can do it yourself!"
Huang Duo and the others all looked at each other and smiled bitterly, a desolate look appeared in Yaoguang's eyes, and he sighed: "Yaoguang's killing karma is too heavy, I'm afraid that one day he will die on the rivers and lakes." He Zhengdao also said with a worried face: "Don't say that. Now that the Tartars are in difficulty, and the people of the martial arts are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have the heart to come to you for grudges and vendettas? The Southern Ming Dynasty court is so uncompetitive that people can't help but feel pity and hatred! I am afraid that this great river and mountain will be dominated by the Jurchens, and if this is the case, we will not want to be enslaved by the Tartars, and there will probably be no place in the world anymore. ”
Everyone was gloomy, Xiao Wanli suddenly said: "Xiao has always loved mountains and rivers, when he traveled to the rivers and lakes, he once heard people say that Guangxi to the south, hundreds of miles away from the sea, there is an island called Weizhou Island. This place is dozens of miles in circumference, the scenery is beautiful, the island is full of local people, and there are no officers and soldiers, it is a paradise for us. Why don't we go to the island together, avoid this noisy and chaotic world, the strife in the rivers and lakes, and have a happy life. It can also allow Zhepeng and his wife to no longer meet friends in the rivers and lakes and be a fairy couple. ”
When everyone heard that there was such a place for immortals, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Tianshu patted Xiao Wanli's shoulder and said angrily: "Brother Xiao, you didn't tell me earlier that there is such a good place, and the old brother has been starving and freezing under the cliff for twenty years. When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
He Zhengdao also swept away the gloom, and said loudly: "In this case, today I will wait and wish Rongfeng a night's rest, and tomorrow we will set off together and go to Weizhou Island together?"
The sunset is half-setting, the blood red reflected by the floating clouds, on Zhurong Peak, Yaoguang looked at the mess at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but chant slowly:
The wolf smoke is chaotic in Kyushu, and the strong man travels from Rongshu at night.
Thousands of miles of Xiongguan are dyed with fire, and the eight hundred Qinling Mountains are full of blood.
Who knows the life and death on the battlefield, and the dreamland is empty.
Hongchen is faint and the lover is warm, but he asks when the official will return?
