The three of them hurriedly said a few words, and Xu Zhong said, "I think you might as well go back to the Jinyiwei station with me, and take care of each other, even if there is any news, you can know earlier." Du Jiu thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, it's just Xu Cui she~"

Xu Cui hurriedly said, "Brother Du, don't drive me away, it's a big deal, I'll stay at the station and wait for you, prepare food for you, sew clothes, and I won't go out with you, I won't drag you down." Du Jiu's heart softened, and he felt that it was difficult for Xu Cui to refuse anything, so he had to say, "Go there first." Xu Cui hurriedly packed up, and it didn't take long for him to stop.

Xu Zhong also had no intention of asking about the two of them, and immediately hurriedly returned to the station with Du Jiu and Xu Cui. This station was located in a remote valley, which was very secretive, and everyone was overjoyed to see Du Jiu coming. After that, Du Jiu went out to look for people, and Xu Cui stayed at the station. There are a lot of bellflowers growing in the valley, and the flowers are as lovely as small bells, and Xu Cui loves them very much.

On this day, Du Jiu still found nothing, and walked back in a low mood, thinking, "When will I find someone like this?" I said to send a letter to the Khan's court, and the court is looking forward and backward, and it is not a way to delay it any longer. ”

Seeing that there was Taniguchi in front of him, Du Jiu's heart suddenly flashed a trace of uneasiness, "Why is it so quiet? I can't even hear the sound of horses~ This is ~ what kind of smell ~ " I seem to have smelled this smell somewhere, but I can't remember it in my mind. Du Jiu felt that his legs were weak, and he screamed, and desperately beat the horse and galloped into the valley.

The valley was a mess, the tent collapsed, the corpses of people and horses were pillows everywhere, Du Jiu desperately turned over all the items that could be turned, and finally found Xu Cui, fortunately, a breath was still alive, so he tried his best to save him, and finally heard Xu Cui snort, opened his eyes slightly, and saw that it was Du Jiu, and his face immediately appeared with brilliant joy, "Brother Du, I have finally waited for you." ”

Du Jiu shouted, "Who did it? Is it Cheng Xuchuan? Where is he?" Xu Cui said gloomily, "It's those death row prisoners, Cheng Xuchuan took refuge in the city, and sent his men to kill us, they are so ruthless, they kill people when they see them, saying that they are revenge for the hatred of imprisonment, and they don't even let go of the horse." Du Jiu's tears splashed, "How did they know that you were here?" "It was Xu Chong who went to look for him first, but he didn't expect Cheng Xuchuan to be there." ”

Du Jiu shouted, "Cheng Xuchuan is there with him?" Xu Cui smiled bitterly, "It's true, Xu Chong thinks that this is not the way to find people, I heard that the recent Eastern Expedition has won several battles, thinking that he is the person who has the best relationship with the Ming Dynasty among the Mongols, so he wants to ask him to ask him to move the Great Khan to issue an arrest warrant." ”

Du Jiu was so angry that he shouted, "Where is Xu Chong, where is he?" As soon as the words came out, his heart roared continuously, and Xu Cui said in a low voice, "He's dead." When he arrived in the army, he listened to the sergeant discuss the battle situation, and knew that he had a master to help him, and suspected that Cheng Xuchuan was hiding in him, but he didn't admit it. After Xu Chong came back, he said that this matter was terrible, and he had to report it to the court quickly, and he didn't want to blink an eye, and the enemy came~ It was the enemy who betrayed us, and I finally only heard Xu Chong shouting before he died, telling someone to break through and report the news, but it seems that ~ no one can rush out, and then I don't know anything. ”

Du Jiuwa spurted out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly felt that Xu Cui's pulse was weakening, as if after explaining the big thing, his wish had been fulfilled, and he hurriedly entered his true qi, crying, "Cui'er, cheer up, the bad guys are gone, with me by your side, you are safe." Xu Cui said in a low voice, "I'm so tired, I can't do it, fortunately I'm wearing Jinyiwei's clothes, they don't know that I'm a woman~ Brother Du, I'm going to see my mother soon." ”

Du Jiu cried, "No, no, your mother doesn't want to see you, I will be by your side in the future, don't you want to be with me? Xu Cui said in a low voice, "Brother Du, you must not seek revenge, if you die, no one will know where Cheng Xuchuan is, even if other Jinyi guards come back, they don't know the truth, you hurry back to the capital, tell Menda about the things here, and ask him to send troops to arrest people." ”

"Cui'er, don't leave me~ I know that you follow me, because I am afraid that I will do something stupid to find Cheng Xuchuan for revenge, you manage me very well, you leave me, I can't do it~" "I'm too tired, Brother Du, you have to take care of yourself, wait for Tieling Gongzi and them to come, and then go together to take revenge, Brother Du, I really want to, I really want to be with you for the rest of my life, but unfortunately I don't have a chance~" Du Jiu cried.

Xu Cui said in a low voice, "Brother Du, please bring my ashes back to Jiangnan and bury them with my mother." With a sigh, a wisp of incense disappeared, and only the bellflower beside him was still shaking in the wind with blood stains. (Note: Bellflower, a species of lily of the valley, also known as the lady's tears, the flower language is thanks, women's tears.) ）

Du Jiu cried until it was dark, until the person in his arms was cold and stiff, and then he reluctantly got up to collect the corpses of those captains, and sure enough, he found Xu Zhong in a pile of chaotic corpses, and his body was full of wounds.

Du Jiuzhi cried so much that he fainted, and then spent a day and a night to bury everyone, every time he collected a corpse, his heart was like being cut by a sharp blade, and finally incinerated the bodies of Xu Zhong and Xu Cui, packed the ashes, and brought Xu Chong's Qianhu token and Cheng Xuchuan's sea fishing paperwork, gritted his teeth and galloped to the border pass, and reported the matter to the guard.

The guard general was shocked, he had been in the border for a long time, he knew that this matter was not trivial, he came to the east to win, and turned his face faster than turning the book, took in Cheng Xuchuan, and even killed the imperial court Jinyi Wei to extinguish his mouth, his ambition was clearly revealed, and he recorded his confession in detail, and immediately reported to the Beijing division in a hurry.

After Du Jiu finished this important thing, he handed over a lot of ashes, got up and staggered out. The guards hurriedly stopped, "Du Daxia, where are you going?" "I'm going to kill Cheng Xuchuan!" "He is in the army of Xiaolai, protected by thousands of troops and horses, how can you kill him alone?" "If you don't kill, you will kill him!"

The guard, who was also a man of considerable ability, rebuked: "If you can die with him, I will not stop you! Wouldn't it be a big deal to kill you to get rid of this scourge for the Ming Dynasty? But if you die at the hands of a soldier without even seeing his face? ”

Du Jiu said angrily, "Then what can you do?" "Cheng Xuchuan threw himself at this hero, and said that if he killed my Jinyi Wei and killed him, it is very likely to endanger my Daming, and the emperor will definitely treat this matter carefully, why don't you wait a few days Brother Du first?"

Du Jiu sneered: "Can the two countries still start a war for Cheng Xuchuan? ”

The guard shook his head and said, "Although it is not enough to start a war, it is very possible to send a special envoy to the Khan's court to lobby, or even send elite soldiers to assassinate, Brother Du's martial arts are strong, and there is something to do in the future, now it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, why rush for a while?"

Du Jiu said angrily, "I just can't wait!" After saying that, he rushed out, knocked down several guards, grabbed a fast horse and went straight to the west.

He turned back to the border pass, which had been delayed for many days, and when he heard that the army would return to the Khan's court in the west, there was only one thought in his heart: "I want to go to the Khan's court, assassinate Cheng Xuchuan, assassinate him~ Without the support of the Khan, Cheng Xuchuan is a lonely man, whoever dares to support Cheng Xuchuan in the Khan's court, I will kill him!"

But in the face of this great change, coupled with the fact that he had been traveling day and night, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, and finally he could not support it on this day, fell off his horse, fell unconscious, and was rescued by the herdsmen. Because he had the gold medal of the brocade guard Qianhu on his body, he aroused suspicion and was sent to Mao Li to be tried.
