Li Zicheng rolled the saddle and dismounted, picking up Duan Hongyu from the ground. He took out a red cloak and tied it around Duan Hongyu's neck and said, "Good brother, this red robe has been fighting with me for most of my life, and I have worn it to enter Beijing in one fell swoop." Now that my defeat has been decided, you will wear this red robe!"

Duan Hongyu said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the current situation is a dead end, why can't you take a step back and think of a way out?"

Li Zichang sighed and said: "Brother, you are still too simple, I am different from you, now I am a big tree, both the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty regard me as the number one enemy, they will never let me go." In addition, when we raised the army, we vowed to overthrow this rotten Ming Dynasty, and if we turned to Lianming, we were afraid that the whole army would collapse in an instant. Since ancient times, there has been no turning back when opening a bow, and once some things have been done, there is no room for maneuver. You may think that I am rigid and inflexible, but how do you know that it is precisely because we have such a firm stance that many people have gathered under our banner, and we have been able to grow from small to large, and finally to millions. It is only because we have made mistakes that we should not have made, and because we have had bad luck, that we have fallen into the predicament we are in! Since ancient times, victory and defeat have been a common thing in soldiers, and there is nothing remarkable about it. ”

Duan Hongyu knew that King Chuang's insight was far above his own, so he listened carefully.

Li Zicheng said: "Brother, now that both the Qing army and the Ming army are focusing their attention on me, it is not a bad thing! Remember not to be proud and underestimate the enemy, the lesson of Dashun is really too painful!"

Duan Hongyu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Little brother, remember my brother's words!"

Li Zicheng said: "Heaven and earth are destroyed with you, they are strong in martial arts, and they will definitely help you!" After that, he turned over his horse and went back to the camp.

Duan Hongyu, Zuo Hanbing, Tianzhu, and Earth Destruction waited until King Chuang entered the camp before re-mounting.

When he came to the hé píng realm, Duan Hongyu couldn't control it anymore, he fell off his horse suddenly, sat on the ground and cried bitterly, he knew that this parting might be his farewell to King Chuang.

Zuo Hanbing hurriedly jumped off his horse and persuaded: "Brother, if you can't reach the alliance, you can't reach it! The situation in the world is not something we can control, let's go back and train our troops well, and then think of countermeasures!"

Duan Hongyu said: "How can the talent of the king be ten times better than me? Now that Dashun is about to die, where is the road of the righteous army in the world?"

Zuo Hanbing said: "Manpower is limited after all, we can only take advantage of the situation, and my brother doesn't have to worry about it!"

The four of them rested for a while, then mounted their horses and moved forward again. Duan Hongyu suddenly remembered something, and asked the heavens and the earth to be destroyed: "Heaven and earth, have you ever caused trouble in the Dashun army?"

Tian Zhu said: "No! No! How dare we come nonsense! Honester than the little lady!" In fact, he told a lie. With Duan Hongyu's relationship, as soon as the two brothers arrived in the army, they were named a four-rank fierce general by King Chuang. They were okay at first, but within three days, they appeared in their original form, jumping up and down, bullying others, if it wasn't for Wang Libao, they would have been killed by Liu Zongmin. The human nature of the two brothers is too stinky, that is, Duan Hongyu can't stay if he doesn't come, this time Duan Hongyu and Zuo Hanbing came, it was really a joy for them to fall from the sky, so they hurriedly followed.

Duan Hongyu said: "The Zhentian Army is majestic, you have to be careful, if you violate military discipline, even I can't save you!"

Tianzhu smiled: "Don't say it and it's true!"

Duan Hongyu said: "If you two brothers can't get rid of the old problem, don't go, I'll give you some silver, and you can go back to Zongwangzhuang to farm!"

Di Xuan said: "Forget it, Childe, we finally came out, but we won't go back to that broken mountain village, in that kind of place, people are stupid!"

The group of heroes returned to the Four Barren Mountains, but saw that Tie Bingxin and the Tiger Head had not yet arrived on the mountain, Duan Hongyu was so anxious that he hit the horse alone and came back.

On this morning, he was galloping on his horse, and suddenly saw the tiger-headed bachelor sitting on a three-stop water wolf's tooth pickle to rest. Duan Hongyu came close and asked, "Master Hu, why are you here, what about the others?"

The tiger-headed bachelor cried with a sad face, and told what happened after Duan Hongyu and Zuo Hanbing left. Duan Hongyu heard that Tie Bingxin hadn't come back for a few days, and knew that something was wrong, so he said, "Master Hu, you go back and take care of Shangguan Girl and them, I'll go find Tie Maiden!"

Duan Hongyu searched carefully in the place where Tie Bingxin might appear, and finally came to a vast lake. When he saw a hill on his left, he rode up the hill.

A little boy was driving the sheep down. As soon as the little boy saw Duan Hongyu, he shouted loudly, "Isn't that big brother in front of him?"

Duan Hongyu was stunned for a moment, quickly jumped off the horse, stepped in front of the little boy in a few big strides and said, "Little brother, how do you know that I am Jin Jiaomu?"

The little boy said, "It was my sister who told me, she asked me to give these things to you, and said that you will definitely find them here!" With that, he handed a book and a small bottle to Duan Hongyu's hand.

Duan Hongyu took the book and the small bottle and said, "What about that sister?"

The little boy said, "I don't know, but I saw her riding a big white horse to the lake!"

Duan Hongyu took the book and took a look, it was the autumn language Bingxin, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and said secretly: "This poetry book is the life of the Iron Maiden, if it weren't for the last moment, she would never give it to others easily!" He took the poetry book and the small bottle into his arms and ran to the top of the mountain, but saw a vast white water in front of him, where was the shadow of the iron Bingxin?

Duan Hongyu gradually calmed down, knowing that after so many days, if Tie Bingxin was still alive, he would have left here a long time ago, so he stopped. He opened the book of poems, and suddenly two maple leaves flew out of it. Duan Hongyu snatched it in his hand and saw that it was the two maple leaves that Tie Bingxin snatched from him in the maple forest of Changbai Mountain, he was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "I didn't expect these two little maple leaves to be kept until now!" Duan Hongyu's heart moved, and it was only then that he knew Tie Bingxin's feelings for him, and he couldn't help but tremble for a while, and he could barely stand firmly. He knew in his heart that Tie Bingxin had already been killed, otherwise she wouldn't have gone back here to retrieve her things from the little boy. At this time, it is early spring, and the mountains are full of peach blossoms, which are gorgeous and colorful. Duan Hongyu was leaning on a peach tree, only feeling that his brain was blank, and he didn't know whether it was grief or remorse.

After a long time, Duan Hongyu calmed down. Picking up the book of poems, he stumbled down the hill.

There was an old white-haired fisherman fishing by the lake. Duan Hongyu walked past him, and inadvertently found a bright red carp in the old fisherman's water basin, he suddenly remembered what Tie Bingxin had said to him when he was in the Tianshan Divine Fish Cave, and immediately stopped his body and looked at the carp blankly.

The old fisherman turned around and asked, "No, what are you looking at?"

Duan Hongyu said: "Uncle, don't hide it, I lost a friend!"

The old fisherman said, "Is it a woman on a white horse?"

Duan Hongyu exclaimed: "It's this person, have you seen her?"

The old fisherman said, "The day before yesterday, I rowed a small boat to the lake to fish, and I saw a woman sitting sideways on a white horse and walking slowly towards the lake. She was running with her hair as she walked, and she looked pretty good. When I saw someone throwing herself into the lake, I hurried to call her, but she ignored me as if she couldn't give up her white horse, and sank into the lake like that. ”

Duan Hongyu finally learned the final whereabouts of Tie Bingxin, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The old fisherman said: "Young man, people are in the lake, you don't go down to the lake to find someone, but why are you stunned by a fish?"

Duan Hongyu said: "I don't know, the Iron Maiden once told me, she said that even if she becomes a fish, she will follow me." ”

When the old fisherman saw Duan Hongyu's serious look, he only felt funny, and in order to comfort him, he had to make up: "It's strange to say, this lake is called Peach Blossom Lake, and the old man has lived by the lake for decades, and he has never seen such a big carp." As soon as I sat down this morning, the carp jumped into my basin on its own, as if it were about to meet someone. ”

Duan Hongyu said: "That's it." He picked up the carp in both hands and said foolishly, "Iron Maiden, is that you?

The carp had its little mouth open, and it seemed that it had a myriad of things to say to him.

The old fisherman stood up and said, "People in the moon sky are also rare, and there are no officials among them. The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and they are nine times in the sky. How can there be such a strange woman in the world? It must be the embodiment of a dragon! Little brother, go back quickly! Only when you understand can you know how to cherish it!"

Duan Hongyu held the carp and looked at the boundless lake, he couldn't help but feel a lot, secretly hating that he was stupid and lived up to Tie Bingxin's affection for him.

Soon, the carp began to struggle due to lack of water, and Duan Hongyu realized that the old fisherman had long since disappeared. He hurriedly put the fish into the water, and when the fish disappeared, he led the horse back in amazement.

Duan Hongyu returned to the small mountain village, and the tiger-headed bachelor stepped forward and said, "Duan Gongzi, where is the Iron Maiden?"

Duan Hongyu was silent as if he hadn't heard it at all.

The tiger-headed bachelor didn't ask any more questions.

When the two came to a farmhouse, they saw Shangguan Hongying lying on the bed, her face dark, if she hadn't known in advance, she wouldn't have recognized her at all. Duan Hongyu took out the antidote and gave it to Shangguan Hongying, and led the group to the Four Desolate Mountains overnight. Along the way, he only felt his heart tumbling and lingering.
