Chapter 3 Is Evil or Not Evil

The night was falling, outside Guiling City, in the handsome tent of the Qin army, Bai Qianhong turned her back and trembled with anger. After several days and nights of relentless attacks, not to mention the fact that the grain and grass of the 20,000-strong army were burned to the ground, more than a dozen lieutenants took turns to enter the account and ask themselves, what did their soldiers take to wrap their stomachs tonight? The bolder ones simply asked when they would withdraw their troops? When they would pull out the camp and return to Puyang City? All this was as if they had slapped Bai Qianhong twice in the face.

"Get out. You all go out. Let me be quiet. Bai Qianhong finally opened her golden mouth and said in a low voice. She said so, but there was no response in the entire tent. Bai Qianhong'er was silent when she heard this, and said angrily, "What's the matter? When she turned around, she found that there was no one in the tent, and everyone didn't know when they were gone, and Bai Qianhong couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"I really didn't expect me to laugh at this time?" Bai Qianhong walked to the bronze mirror and looked at the reflection in the mirror. The person in the mirror gently stroked her own neck, and it was hard to imagine how to scratch a knife mark on such a delicate and delicate skin, or would it be better to use white silk?"It's so cold. Bai Qianhong stretched out her hand and crossed the red lips of the person in the mirror, but she didn't feel the temperature between her lips, "Is there really no way......?" Day after tomorrow...... Is the day after tomorrow the day when my white red soul returns?"

Bai Qianhong staggered away from the bronze mirror and paced alone in the tent. She couldn't imagine what it would be like for her to kill herself, but she couldn't imagine that she didn't keep her promise and lived in the world, and when the time came, everyone in the world ridiculed and scolded, saying, "Look! That's Bai Qianhong, she lost the bet with Lu Zhulang, but she didn't dare to die. The shameless straight has lived until now. 」

"Then you might as well be dead. Thinking about this, Bai Qianhong felt as if there was a fire burning in her throat, she poured wine for herself with trembling hands, and drank three or four glasses in a row before she breathed a sigh of relief, "At this time, it would be nice if someone could have a drink together." Bai Qianhong looked around, the tent was empty, and there was no one else except herself. She raised her glass to the sky and muttered, "Hmph. Never mind. Come, Miss Bai Qianhong, I toast you. 」

"Cheers!"

"It's done!" Hua Sheng raised the wine glass in his hand and touched Jing Tianming, and drank it all heroically. The bad wine touched the wound at the corner of his mouth, Hua Sheng Jiang couldn't help frowning, it turned out that in order to burn the cloud ladder, his face was already burned to the ground, and his face was full of festers and blisters, but even so, this cup of Hop Sheng Jiang was still extremely hearty. As far as the eye can see, the martial arts heroes in the longhouse have many colors after a few days and nights of hard work. Tan Zhi was hit by two arrows in his body, and his left leg was scarred; Fang Geng's tears gave people a broken leg, and although he was recovered in time, it seemed that he would be lame in the future; Xiang Yu almost blinded him by letting the stone cannon debris go, and now half of his face was still swollen to the point of not being human; Liu Bi and other young soldiers, although they were not seriously injured, had not closed their eyes for five days, and had already fainted with all their strength, and they were afraid that they would have to lie down for a while before they could wake up. Although this is the situation, no one complains, everyone waits quietly, waiting for Bai Qianhong to make a move, or give the order to retreat. It stands to reason that while waiting, you can sleep, but for some reason, when you can't sleep, you can't sleep.

"There's nothing to do, why don't you come and have a few drinks?" General Hua Sheng couldn't remember who proposed to open the wine jar first, he only felt that the person who said this was really meritorious. Lu Zhulang and Duanmu Jingde also felt that at this time, everyone's nerves should be relaxed a little, so they smiled and followed everyone to drink a little. Gai Nie, Zhao Nanyang and other martial arts elders present also accompanied each other.

Jing Tianming since Gai Lan's sudden death and Gao Yue's departure, every time he goes into battle, he has the idea of going out, only attacking but not defending, and he has been hit by three guns, five arrows and more than 20 knives before and after five days, but unfortunately it is only a few flesh wounds, at this time sitting next to Hua Shengjiang, he didn't speak, just drank cup after cup, his heart was full of remorse, how did he find out to Lu Zhenlang when he was going to sneak into the tunnel.

At first, there were a lot of people like Jing Tianming who drank alcohol, but after three rounds of drinking, some people indulged in alcohol, or made loud noises, or guessed the number of fist fights. But after all, it was impossible to completely relax, and the atmosphere that was hot quickly became dull, and it became a situation where everyone drank their own stuffy wine. In this dreary atmosphere of everyone, Zhu Qi, the head of the Danyue faction, suddenly stood up. He took the wine bowl and walked straight to the road pillow waves. Under the curious gaze of everyone, Zhu Qi said to Lu Zhenlang in a thick voice, half like a roar and half a scream, "Mr. Lu, I have something to say. 」

Lu Zhenlang looked at the big old man in front of him, thinking that he didn't know what trouble he was going to cause to himself, so he said, "What does Master Zhu have to teach you? Let's talk about it later, okay?" "No! No!" Zhu Qi hurriedly shook his hand and said loudly, "Don't say it in private. I'm going to say this in front of you. It's about making it heard. Lu Zhulang was about to stop him, but Zhu Qi had already turned around and said loudly to everyone, "Everyone knows that I, Zhu Qi, have been quite dissatisfied with Mr. Lu Zhulang's various actions since the Heroes Conference. Whether it is in front of people or behind people, as long as I Zhu Qi mentions Mr. Lu, I don't have a good face, let alone have any good words. Lu Zhenlang sat behind Zhu Qi, and it was simply uneasy to hear this. Everyone was stunned when they saw Zhu Qi making the road pillow unsightly in person. Seeing this, Duanmu Jingde was thinking about getting up to make a round, but he heard Zhu Qi say loudly again: "Just for this, I, Zhu Qi, want to apologize to Mr. Lu in public today!" Zhu Qi turned around when he said this, bowed deeply to Lu Zhulang in front of everyone, and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry! You won Bai Qianhong's demon girl! I, Zhu Qi, admire it very much. Everyone present did not expect that Zhu Qi would apologize to Lu Zhenlang. Lu Zhulang's face was also full of embarrassment, and he quickly stood up and helped Zhu Qi up, "What did Master Zhu say? Everyone is in the same boat. It's too unseemly to say that. 」

"Good, good. Zhu Qi raised the bowl with a red face, "I knew that Mr. Lu would never blame me, so come!" "Cheers. Lu Zhulang also smiled, raised the bowl and drank it all. Everyone present saw that the two of them had released their previous suspicions, and they all felt that Lu Zhenlang was indeed the humble Mojia Juzi in the legends of the rivers and lakes, while Zhu Qi was a rough man with a rough appearance and a rough heart, but he was honest and lovely.

Everyone drank to Zhu Qi one after another, "Hahaha! Drink, dry." After Zhu Qi apologized, he was in a very comfortable mood, holding the big sea bowl, swaying and drinking with everyone, and suddenly smacked his lips and praised: "Good wine! Good wine! I, Zhu Qi, have lived such an age, and I have never drunk so much wine mixed with water! Wonderful! Wonderful! Hahahaha!"

"Ahem. Cangsong sent Yang Ying to drink several bowls, and said jokingly: "Zhu Daxia, don't say that, you have wronged me by saying this. The wine I brought was absolutely unwatered. 」

"No water, no water, so thin?"

"Why can't you?" Yang Falcon raised his face and grunted and poured another sea bowl, picked up the wine jar and said, "Heaven and earth conscience, I, Yang Falcon, have never mixed water with water, all I did was mix some wine with water. When everyone heard Yang Falcon's words, they all laughed out loud, Zhu Qi laughed even more, and even Jing Tianming and Hua Shengjiang, who were hiding next to them and never spoke from beginning to end, had a smile on the corners of their mouths that they hadn't seen for a long time.

There was a loud sound in the handsome tent, but it was Bai Qianhong who threw the wine glass in her hand to the ground, and the copper wine glass jingled on the ground, and rolled until it stopped at the door of the handsome tent. "I didn't expect the wine to be so bad when I was alone. Bai Qianhong pulled it with her hand, and even pulled down the wine jar, and the rice wine that had been brewed for more than 20 years gurgled out, and was sucked clean by the dust and sand next to her feet. Dropping the wine glass and wine jar, as if it was not enough to relieve her anger, Bai Qianhong picked up a wooden box on the table and smashed it to the ground in a fit of anger. The wooden box cracked with a thud, and the fragments flew everywhere, even the bamboo slips inside flew out.

Bai Qianhong squinted drunkenly, and then remembered that this wooden box was originally filled with Su Beihai's head, and Tuohuasheng would bring it back to Lu Zhenlang; Later, when he went to Guiling as a guest, Lu Zhenlang used this wooden box to contain the edict of King Qin and returned it to himself. "So...... These pieces of bamboo slips that fell out were the edicts of the king of Qin who wrote without Wei Zhuang's consent and gave marriage to the king of Qin. Thinking of this, there were two red clouds on Bai Qianhong's face, and she looked at the bamboo slip that fell to the ground, and she was reluctant to pick it up, but her hand reached halfway but stopped. "What if you have a marriage edict? The man was not necessarily willing to marry himself. Thinking of Wei Zhuang, Bai Qianhong's heart was really mixed. At first, I noticed Wei Zhuang, just because I couldn't get used to seeing people ignoring their existence, but later, somehow, I tied my heart to this indifferent middle-aged man. Obviously, every time that person talks to himself, he just wants to explain the past, but he is getting deeper and deeper, and he is getting deeper and deeper, just hoping that he can look at himself more and talk to himself a few more words...... If possible, ask him to smile at himself...... Realizing what she really thought in her heart, Bai Qianhong couldn't help but shudder. "Is this the time to think about this kind of thing? What's more, that person doesn't even ignore my existence......" Bai Qianhong raised her hand, wanting to throw the bamboo slips she had just picked up into the fire, but she was still reluctant after all, so she had to roll the bamboo slips again and put them back on the table.

"Damn, people say that my Bai Qianhong has no end in her wisdom, isn't there a way to do both?" Bai Qianhong looked at the fragments of the wooden box scattered on the ground stupidly, not to mention the best of both worlds, and there was not even a direction in her heart. Bai Qianhong sighed, and only said in her heart, "It seems that I can't beat the road pillow waves after all. He has fewer people than me, less food and equipment than me, a battle that he can obviously win, but in the end he lost because I was too conceited...... It seems that you know myself better than I Bai Qianhong......

"Huh?!...... than me" Bai Qianhong originally circled around the handsome tent while thinking, but stopped unconsciously when she thought of this. She bent down, picked up a piece of wooden box fragments and played with it in her hand repeatedly, and the voice of Lu Zhulang seemed to sound in her ears again, "Don't worry, girl, if you talk about wisdom, you and I are comparable, but if you are more ruthless, you are not the girl's opponent. That was in Guiling City, when Lu Zhulang gave this wooden box back to himself.

"I see, I see...... Bai Qianhong thought about something that she didn't have a clue for a long time, but at this time, it suddenly opened like a light in the dark room, "Hahaha, hahaha!" Bai Qianhong couldn't help laughing out loud, "Mr. Lu, it seems that I really have to thank you, Bai Qianhong." If you hadn't seen me so thoroughly, I really wouldn't have been able to break Guiling City in three months, hahaha, hahaha! Gather all the captains to enter the account. Bai Qianhong laughed for a while, and had a plan in her heart, so she asked the soldiers outside the tent to order, "Let them come to see them immediately, without delay!"

Not long after the military order was issued, the captains of the Qin army appeared in Bai Qianhong's handsome tent one by one like lightning, although everyone did not dare to speak to each other, but it could be seen from their expressions that they were all anxiously waiting for Bai Qianhong's order to retreat. Everyone didn't expect Bai Qianhong, who was waiting for them in the handsome tent, to look so energetic, not at all like Fang Cai's grievances.

"Pass my general's order, hang out the battle exemption card, and rest the army on the spot for a day. 」

"General!" several captains wanted to express their opinions in unison, but Bai Qianhong stopped them from continuing, "You know what you want to say. With an unfathomable expression, Bai Qianhong said to everyone sonorously, "Everything is in Ben Shuai's calculations. The city will be breached the next morning, and the people need not worry. Bai Qianhong smiled slightly, and said, "By the way, in order to celebrate the victory in advance, Ben Shuai decided to marry Lord Wei Zhuang Wei tomorrow night, and everyone is a guest. For this reason, tomorrow we will hold a banquet, reward the three armies, and congratulate the commander. This news immediately spread throughout the entire Qin camp of the Qin Array: Xia Ji Bai Qianhong will have a big wedding ceremony with Wei Zhuang tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow she will personally lead the army to go out and capture Guiling in one fell swoop.

When Shao Guangqing and Zhao Nanyang returned to the longhouse together, the heroes were still drinking the thinner and thinner wine cup after glass. As the saying goes, if alcohol is not drunk, everyone is drunk, although everyone drinks water mixed with wine, it is still difficult to hide their excitement. In the midst of the uproar, Jing Tianming suddenly grabbed the sleeve of Hua Shengjiang, who was fighting with someone, "Shhh

"What are you doing?"

"Listen, there's a strange voice outside. 」

"Nerves. What's ...... weird" Hua Sheng stopped with a dozen or so young people who were making noise, and sure enough, he heard a strange sound coming from him. "What kind of sound is this? Sounds so miserable. A young man couldn't help but shudder as he listened. "That's right. What a horrible name. Is this someone screaming?", "In the middle of the night, could it be a ghost crying?", "Nonsense, where the hell came from? I sound like someone is tearing cloth. "You're just talking nonsense, the sound of tearing cloth can travel so far, how big is the cloth?" Everyone guessed word by word, but there was no answer. I only knew that the ghostly voice sounded in the east and west, but it was all from the direction of the Qin army's position.

Lu Zhulang, Gai Nie, Zhao Nanyang and Duanmu Jingde and other martial arts seniors, simply climbed up the arrow tower and looked into the distance, only to see that in the position of the Qin army, torches and fires were piled up everywhere, illuminating the entire military camp as if it was day. Gagne was the first to call out, "Horses! they're killing horses!"

"It turned out that what I heard was the whining of horses. When all the heroes heard the news, they all looked at each other, and the matter was clear, if the Qin soldiers killed horses for food, then they would not retreat. "Could it be that Bai Qianhong, that demon girl, has any idea?" Almost everyone has this doubt in their hearts, but no one is willing to say it. The joyful atmosphere in the longhouse disappeared suddenly, and was replaced by an incomparably heavy atmosphere.

"It's a big deal. The spies sent by the Mo family finally ran back, and he said breathlessly, "They...... Qin Jun...... Hang out the war-free card. "You speak slowly, don't rush. The waves of the pillow were breathless. "Yes, yes. Bai Qianhong sent an order to the Qin soldiers, saying that she would be able to capture Guiling City early the day after tomorrow, so she ...... So ...... "So what's going on?" Zhu Qi jumped to his feet in a hurry, not even letting people gasp, and urged again and again. "So, she asked Qin Bing to take a day off tomorrow, saying that it was ...... Say yes...... In order to celebrate the victory in advance, she will have a big banquet tomorrow and marry Wei Zhuang!" "What! She still has the leisure to get married?!" Zhu Qi yelled in surprise, only to scare the spy so much that he almost fainted.

The Qin army killed horses for a feast, Bai Qianhong got married, and the day after tomorrow a decisive battle...... The news that came one after another made the mood of everyone in Guiling City become heavier and heavier. These successive things have repeatedly shown that Bai Qianhong has a way to deal with it. "Guiling City is about to be destroyed. "The country of Qi is dying. "Everybody's going to die." "No one can survive the day after tomorrow." "I'm going to lose." One depressing sentence after another was like a heavy rain poured on everyone's heads, drenching everyone so that they couldn't raise their heads.

Suddenly, one of the heroes suddenly drew his sword out of the sheath, and the sword was so powerful that he actually split a stone lion placed in front of a certain family into two. Although the stone lion was cut open, it did not break and fell, which shows the superb swordsmanship of the person who used the sword. To the surprise of the crowd, the man who made the sword was Xin Qujie, the head of the Bagua Sect.

"Live and die together!" Xin Qujie held the sword in his right hand and said only one sentence.

"Yes!" After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Qi also stepped forward to make up for the stone lion's sword, and shouted, "Don't seek to live together, just want to die together!" Gao Shiran nodded, also drew his long sword, and said, "Death and life, trivial matters." Then a sword stabbed the lion in the chest. Yang Falcon, Xiang Yu, Song Xieshan, Hua Shengjiang, Jing Tianming, Tan Zhiqi, Lu Zhulang, Duanmu Jingde and others also stepped forward one by one, and everyone had the same thought in their hearts, only looking forward to defending Guiling City.

"Hahaha!" Under the leadership of "Jade Shattered Kunlun" Xin Qujie, all the heroes dealt with the stone lion one after another, and you cut the stone lion more and more with one sword. The haze brought by Bai Qianhong had been swept away at this time, and the only thing that had fallen was the stone lion that was originally placed at the door of the house, which was innocently broken into pieces under the destruction of many martial arts masters. The two brothers of the Ma family, Ma Xianxing and Ma Dasheng, who were eventful and talkative, later said that they worked hard to glue the stone lion back with paste that night, and there were more than 40 pieces in total. As for the forty-one fragments that Ma Xianxing said, or the forty-two fragments that Ma emphasized loudly, according to convention, only the two brothers cared.

"Zhao Daxia. Please stay. When Lu Zhulang asked everyone to go and rest, in the crowded crowd, Zhao Nanyang suddenly heard someone calling him, turned his head, and saw Shao Guangqing, who had always been gentle, and immediately smiled and slowed down. "Zhao Daxia, can you take a step to talk?" Shao Guangqing smiled all over his face, pointed to the door of the longhouse, and motioned for Zhao Nanyang to move to talk. Although Zhao Nanyang didn't understand that Shao Guangqing, who rarely talked to him, could find him something, he still followed him.

The two came to the long eaves one after the other, and Shao Guangqing immediately sighed softly. "Nephew's behavior today is a little strange, why are you sighing?" Zhao Nanyang asked as he paced casually. Shao Guangqing lowered his voice nervously and said, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and the juniors will ask for something, and I hope that the seniors will be fulfilled." 」

"Hahaha. The old man said that the virtuous nephew is a little strange today, what kind of identity is the virtuous nephew? Confucian children are all over the world, and the future Confucianism will teach something, so why should the old man serve you?"

"Senior, you don't know. Shao Guangqing gritted her teeth hatefully, "Daddy deceived me so hard, and when I got it, I wanted to pass on the position of the head of the sect to my junior brother to talk about it. 」

"Oh?" Zhao Nanyang didn't know why Shao Guangqing suddenly mentioned this to him, his eyebrows raised, and the white hair on the top of his head trembled, "This is the first time I've heard of it. But, good nephew. You also know your father's temper, if he is determined to pass on the throne to your junior brother, even if I go to intercede for you, it will be useless. 」

"Nope. The seniors misunderstood. Shao Guangqing smiled sinisterly, "I'm not here to ask my seniors to help me intercede. 」

"Oh, ...... you?"

"Hope is below...... Shao Guangqing stood under the eaves against the wall, knowing that there was no one behind him, and after saying this, he couldn't help but look left and right, and then continued: "Hope...... The seniors were able to kill Tan Zhi, so that I could become the head of Confucianism. 」

"Did I hear me right?" Zhao Nanyang's eyes widened, and he came to Shao Guangqing and stared straight at him, "You came to ask me to kill someone for you, kill your junior brother?"

"Although his skills are good, he is not worth it in the eyes of his predecessors. This is just a gesture, and I believe that my seniors will be willing to help me with this. Shao Guangqing swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and finally said the strategy that he had thought back and forth several times in his heart.

"Hey, hey. The virtuous nephew is quite good at wishful thinking. Even if it's straight, but the martial arts are not good. Zhao Nanyang's face changed color, and there was no chivalrous demeanor to speak of, only to see his eyes bulging and his lips crooked, like an impatient vulture. As if to see through what Shao Guangqing was thinking in his heart, Zhao Nanyang asked domineeringly, "Hehe. How did the virtuous nephew come up with the idea of asking the old man to help you with this, and how can you be sure that the old man will definitely help you?"

"Zhao Daxia, I'll just say it directly. Shao Guangqing was a little scared, but the position of the head of the sect was too tempting, and he said tremblingly, "Because...... Because if my predecessors refuse to agree to help me with this, then I will have to show everyone that Zhao Nanyang Zhao Daxia, who is famous in martial arts, is the left protector of Guigu!"

"Good boy, how do you know?" Unexpectedly, Zhao Nanyang didn't deny it when he heard this, but immediately strangled Shao Guangqing's neck. Shao Guangqing spoke, although he never left Zhao Nanyang's hands from beginning to end, he still couldn't avoid Zhao Nanyang's fatal grasp. "Cough!cough!cough!" Shao Guangqing blushed and coughed thickly, "Let go...... Let me go...... I...... I said......" Zhao Nanyang sneered and said, "Forgive me, you can't run in front of the old man." Tell me, how do you know?"

"Yes...... It was Ziyu who told me. 」

"Ziyu, that little girl has the guts?" Zhao Nanyang shook his head and guessed, "I'm afraid you forced her to ask her, right?"

"If that's what my predecessors say, then that's right. Shao Guangqing said angrily. Now he is angry when he thinks of Ziyu. Although the woman's beauty deeply touched her, Shao Guangqing was not an idiot after all. He failed to steal the jade, causing Duanmu Jingde to pass the white fish jade pendant with a great origin to Tan Zhiqi along with the Confucian position in front of his disciples, and Shao Guangqing immediately became suspicious of Ziyu. Ziyu tried every possible way to steal this piece of jade by herself, and there must be a secret behind it, and it was not just a simple reason for the love thing. After losing the position of the head of the sect, Shao Guangqing was furious, and immediately went to question Ziyu. Ziyu was already worried, but finally couldn't stand Shao Guangqing's persecution with a sword, and told Shao Guangqing the truth one by one about being a spy sent by Guigu, how to blame Gao Yue for killing Gailan, and so on. When Shao Guangqing asked why the famous Zhao Nanyang would lie to a little girl? Ziyu originally resolutely refused to answer, until Shao Guangqing threatened to ruin her appearance, Ziyu said the astonishing fact that Zhao Nanyang, who was originally known as "North Gai Nanzhao", was also the left protector of Guigu.

"You kid also want to blackmail me?" Although Zhao Nanyang's identity was revealed, he didn't seem to be nervous at all, "Have you ever thought about it? I could kill you right now." 」

"Of course I thought about it, but I also made all the preparations, so I dared to ask my seniors for help, didn't I?"

"Oh?" Zhao Nanyang shook his fingers, as if he was considering whether he should kill Shao Guangqing now, "I always thought that this kid of yours was a soft egg, but I didn't expect this side to exist. 」

"Senior......" Shao Guangqing also knew that his life was hanging in the hands of others, and hurriedly said: "If my seniors help me become the head of Confucianism, my juniors will be grateful, and they will give the white fish jade pendant in my father's hand to my seniors. In the future, if there are orders, there is no disobedience. The younger generation is here to ask for the help of the seniors, how dare they have the intention of coercing? The seniors must not be misunderstood. 」

"Is Confucianism in charge?" Zhao Nanyang looked at Shao Guangqing and said with a smile: "You kid is upright and generous, and if you are a Confucian teacher, you are also compatible. Good. I promise you. 」

"Thank you, senior. Shao Guangqing got Zhao Nanyang's approval and hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank me slowly. Zhao Nanyang waved his hand to stop him: "I only promised to help you become a Confucian master, as for how to help you, everything is done when the opportunity arises, how?"

"It's a word. Shao Guangqing was overjoyed and replied, "As long as the seniors can help me become the head teacher, the juniors will definitely repay you heavily in the future." 」

"Hey, hey, hey. Zhao Nanyang smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, don't worry, you see the sky is about to dawn, let's see, let's see, let's see." 」

On the second day, the Qin army hung out the anti-battle card, and there was no movement in Guiling City, and both sides quietly waited for tomorrow's decisive battle. Around noon, Wei Zhuang approached the handsome tent alone, and asked, "I heard in the back just now that the two of us are going to get married tonight?" Bai Qianhong turned her head, stared at Wei Zhuang, and replied softly, "Yes. 」

"You sent the order?"

"yes. 」

"Why?"

"Why do you ask me?" In the face of Wei Zhuang's question, Bai Qianhong was stunned for a moment and then sighed softly, while complaining a little: "I thought you understood......" Wei Zhuang shook his head. Bai Qianhong was a little angry, "You don't understand?!"

"I don't understand. 」

"Okay, then I'll tell you. As long as the two of us get married tonight, we will be able to take Guiling City tomorrow morning and kill Lu Zhulang, this is my ......" Bai Qianhong paused, turned her head and said, "This is a military order issued by this commander, and it cannot be changed no matter what. 」

"So, this is part of the strategy?" Wei Zhuang was still so indifferent in his words, "You want me to act according to the plan?"

"You ......," Bai Qianhong said bitterly, "You just don't want to marry me." I've told you my mind three times and twice, how can you not understand?" Bai Qianhong looked at Wei Zhuang with tears in her eyes, "You just said it directly, right? You have someone else in your heart, can't you accommodate me?"

"I'm sorry, but I never say this in front of people. Wei Zhuang replied.

"Go away!" Bai Qianhong raised her head sharply and shouted at the seemingly empty tent, "Let's go, let me be quiet!" As soon as her words fell, the shadows of Chun Lao, Qiu Ke, and Dong Yu left the tent and disappeared in different directions. "There's no one else now. You tell me honestly, if you already have someone in your heart......" Bai Qianhong stepped forward, held Wei Zhuang's hand and said sincerely, "I...... I am willing to take back the order and let the world laugh at me. A woman in Tsing Yi flashed through Wei Zhuang's heart, but Wei Zhuang only said, "No! 」

Bai Qianhong was relieved when she heard Wei Zhuang say this, she thought that as long as Wei Zhuang was unintentional, then one day, he would fall in love with herself, so she said, "That's good, Master Wei...... You can go out now. But please remember, tonight you and I get married, you have already read the king's edict, if you do not appear, you will disobey the king's order, violate the commander's orders, and hinder the army from capturing Guiling City. 」

"White girl......" Wei Zhuang wanted to say more.

"You are not allowed to disobey my commands. Bai Qianhong snorted angrily, but soon her voice softened again, "Master Wei, I'm not an ugly woman, am I really worthy of you?" I Bai Qianhong has made up my mind to spend the rest of my life with you, and I don't want you to do anything for me, just ask you to watch me and accompany me by my side, isn't this okay...... Tonight after the unitary hour...... I...... I ......" Her voice grew quieter and quieter, and by then it was almost inaudible.

Jing Tianming and Hua Sheng hid the two of them on one of the arrow towers, taking in all the celebrations, but they didn't see any secrets that Bai Qianhong planned to use to attack the city tomorrow. "I said it was a wasted effort. General Hua Sheng looked at it for a while and said, "That Bai Qianhong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is not so easy to be gouged out. 」

"It doesn't matter. Jing Tianming replied, "It's okay anyway. It's good to take a look. 」

"Yes, yes, as long as you can hide away from no one. Hana Sheng lay down lazily and gave up.

"You're only half right. Jing Tianming turned his head away, unwilling to see the expression on his face at the moment, and said, "Half of me really wish I could be as quiet as I am now, but the other half of me only hopes that the sky will soon dawn so that I can rush to the battlefield. Hua Sheng sat up half-sit, tilted his head and plucked his nostrils and asked, "I thought you had always been disgusted by this war, when did you become so enthusiastic?"

"Who is zealous? All I want is to kill someone, or be killed. 」

"Brother. Hua Sheng was suspicious for a moment, knowing that he shouldn't ask but still asked, "You've become very strange these days. Sometimes I feel like I don't even know you anymore. It's because Gao Yue is gone, right?"

"It's snowing, you see. Jing Tianming was silent for a moment, and finally pointed out and said.

When Hua Sheng sat up to watch, he saw that the north wind was getting stronger outside, blowing a trace of snowflakes flying all over the sky. I don't know why, Jing Tianming looked at the snow but remembered those spirit flags flying in the wind. Could it be that even the heavens are taking pity on this lonely city, so they rained white flags to cover the whole city on this night, so as to pay tribute to everyone here in advance?

An hour later, the snowflakes that were originally as light as a flam have turned into a blizzard, and people can hardly open their eyes. On snowy days, the morning always comes early. The war drums of the Qin army lit up almost at the same time as the sky, and on the city of Guiling, the heroes of the martial arts such as Lu Zhulang and Duanmu Jingde had already prepared, while the younger generation such as Jing Tianming, Tan Zhiqi, Liu Bi, Xiang Yu and others were scattered on the eight arrow towers, just waiting for the Qin army to step into the range of bows and arrows and crossbows.

More than 10,000 Qin infantry in black armor swept over. Although more than half of the rumbling footsteps under their feet were swallowed away by the thick snow, the silence in front of them only added a touch of horror and weirdness to the upcoming fierce battle.

Lu Zhenlang stared at the Qin army gradually approaching, and was about to ask Fang Geng to wave the flag and order the arrow tower to release arrows, but the Qin army stopped outside the range. Thirty-two ladder carts slowly passed through the ranks of the Qin army in full view of everyone, and advanced straight towards Guiling City. Lu Zhulang had long expected that Bai Qianhong would never fight another tough battle with him in the past, and sure enough, these ladder trucks in a group of two actually crossed the Qin ** team and entered the range of bows and arrows alone. Hua Sheng will see the other party cross the thunder pool, and without waiting for Juzi to give an order, he will pull away the hard crossbow with his hands and feet, aiming at one of the group of ladder cars, and when he is about to let go, he sees that between these two ladder cars that are not afraid of death, there seem to be some strange things hanging.

It was a thick web that looked like a spider's web, and each end of the web was tied to a ladder truck. As the ladder got closer and closer, it was the young people on the arrow tower who first found the big net crying. Hundreds of naked little babies, some with their hands tied, some with their feet upside down and tied to the net. These little babies, who seem to be only three or five years old at most, are crying with their mouths wide open.

Thirty-two ladder trucks, sixteen giant nets, and more than 1,000 slippery little babies. "Oh my God!" After seeing what was approaching the arrow tower, Tan Zhi's bow and arrow were the first to fall. General Hua Sheng also screamed and jumped up from the giant crossbow, but as soon as he moved, the crossbow arrow that had just been pulled full immediately shot out, fortunately, Jing Tianming's eyes and hands were quick, so that a move "Grass Grows Warbler Flying" was slanted at the end of the arrow, and the crossbow arrow missed its head and did not hit the ladder.

When Lu Zhulang, Duanmu Jingde and others stationed at the head of the city saw Bai Qianhong's new trick slowly driving towards them, they were all stupid on the spot. As people with lofty ideals, although they knew that the Qin army was hiding behind these children, and they also knew how dangerous it was to let the ladder cart lean against the city wall, but in the face of the scene in front of them, no one could order these innocent children to shoot arrows. As if to calculate the weaknesses of the people in Guiling City, the thirty-two cloud ladders were tightly surrounded by a group of women. Bai Qianhong didn't need to force these women to go to the battlefield, the only thing she did was to tie their children to the net of the ladder, and these women naturally became the shield of the Qin soldiers who pushed the ladder car in order to save and regain their own flesh and blood.

The cries of children and mothers rang out, as if this was no longer a battlefield, but a purgatory on earth. Jing Tianming only felt the blood rushing straight to his head. In the midst of the crying, he thought first of Gaelan, and then of a beautiful face that had not been in his mind for a long time.

"Mother!"

"Child!"

In contrast to the hesitation of the heroes, the sixteen ruthless nets continued to advance towards the head of Guiling City. It didn't take long for the eight arrow towers to be able to clearly hear the sound from the ladder truck, all kinds of screams and wails so clear and close, like waves crashing on the shore, hitting the soldiers who were guarding the arrow tower. Seeing that the ladder cart was only a few zhang away from the city wall, the eight arrow towers were as if they were in vain, and no one sent out a single stone and arrow to destroy the enemy's climbing equipment. Bai Qianhong, who had changed her dress as a young woman, saw that the strategy worked, and immediately gave the order to attack. The horns of hundreds of Qin troops gradually sounded, and tens of thousands of Qin infantry, armed with guns and halberds, under the protection of sixteen large nets, followed the ladder cart and began to press towards the city wall. Bai Qianhong herself also rode a horse, and under the protection of her husband Wei Zhuang, she slowly advanced towards Guiling.

"Can't let them come near anymore. The first person to shout on the arrow tower was Liu Bi, who held the long sword in his hand tightly and shouted loudly: "Don't fall for the trick! Release the arrow!" But Liu Bi is only a Confucian disciple after all, and there is no general order in his hand, although he shouted eagerly, but there are only a few people who really release arrows at the ladder. At this time, the ladder car was already quite close to the eight arrow towers, and these dozens of arrows were shot, and suddenly more than a dozen little babies were hit by arrows. As long as they were hit by arrows, the Qin army would cut off the ropes tied to their bodies regardless of whether they were alive or dead. As soon as the rope broke, the little baby fell straight from the sky, and the mothers who were crowded around the ladder car cried even more bitterly when they saw the children being smashed into pulp. The cry was about to come up, and the few Qi soldiers who had just fired arrows to hurt people were ashamed, and their hands were weak, and they stopped attacking again.

"Shoot the arrows!" Liu Bi first called a few Confucian disciples and commanded sharply, "Listen to my orders and release the arrows immediately." Then he turned to a few Qi soldiers and ordered, "Pull out the hard crossbow, aim it at the foot of the ladder, and shoot it." Several Qi soldiers hesitated, and Liu Bi impatiently drew his long sword and threatened them, "Hurry up, I will bear everything." If I don't draw my bow again, I'll cut it down. A few Qi soldiers went to pull the hard crossbow with all their hands and feet.

"You can't let go of the arrows!" Jing Tianming grabbed Liu Bi's hand, "You're going to hurt those children." 」

"Tianming!?" Liu Bi was taken aback by Jing Tianming's abrupt move, "It's all at this time, how can you care about so much! 」

"I won't let it go. Jing Tianming said categorically, "Have you ever thought that if you shoot the ladder, hundreds of children will fall and shatter. Jing Tianming's face became extremely ugly and pale, and he said, "It's the mother of those children at the bottom of the ladder, do you want them to watch you kill their own flesh and blood?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Liu Bi shook off Jing Tianming's hand and grabbed him, "If you don't destroy the cloud ladder, the Qin soldiers will climb up behind, and the city wall will be lost." These children are going to die anyway......

"Listen to what you said yourself!?" Jing Tianming slapped Liu Bi and said angrily, "This is obviously your indiscriminate killing of innocents!"

"Nonsense, I'm here to protect my family and defend the country!" Liu Bi said confidently: "If there is no country, how can there be a home? Aren't you also planning to sacrifice for the country? You can sacrifice, I can sacrifice, and those children can naturally sacrifice. Hey, there's no time to debate with you, everyone, let go of the arrows! Don't hesitate, let go of the arrows! If you don't release the arrows, Guiling will be lost!" Everyone on the arrow tower heard Liu Bi's reasoning and moved one after another. Liu Bi also rushed forward, picked up an empty bow on the ground, carried an arrow bag, and led the way to release arrows at the ladder cart. Only a few people in the entire arrow tower were still hesitating, Hua Sheng Jiang couldn't make up his mind, and looked back, but saw more tears waving flags above the city, and ordered the eight arrow towers to attack together. General Hua Sheng got Juzi's order, and immediately no longer hesitated, and immediately returned to the side of the hard crossbow to help those Qi soldiers open the big crossbow. In an instant, the feathered arrows flew out of the nest like bees from the arrow tower.

"Nope. No. You killed those children. Jing Tianming shouted, "Didn't you hear the cry? Stop!" Jing Tianming hugged his head, tormenting like an ant on a hot pot, but no one around him paid attention to him.

A bloody battle for the city began. Although the people in Guiling City began to fight back, it was a little late after all. Several ladder trucks have broken through the defense line of the arrow tower and are the first to stick to the head of the city. The Qin army, who was hiding behind innocent children, jumped out of the net one after another, trying to grab a place on the city wall. Qiu Keliu Daimei brandished the Nine Dragons Whip to sweep away the flowing arrows, and led several Qin State captains who were vying for the lead to climb up the ladder to the top of the city. Seeing this, Xin Qujie and Zhu Qi hurriedly led their disciples over and fought with Liu Daimei. Chun Lao, Zhao Nanyang, and Gai Nie fought at the city gate.

But no matter which side put the feathered arrows, they were ruthless, and the children, women and children who had nowhere to escape bore the brunt and fell one after another. Hearing the children's cries getting quieter and quieter, Jing Tianming couldn't hold back any longer, he had to save them, even if he could only save one of them. Jing Tianming had made up his mind, and immediately returned the sword to the sheath, using the long sword in his hand as a club, and divided the right hand points of everyone in the arrow tower. Jing Tianming's attack came quickly and accurately, and everyone didn't have time to react, so he hit the acupoint. When the weapons in the hands of General Hua Sheng and Liu Bi landed on the ground, neither of them could believe that it was Jing Tianming who attacked them.

"What are you doing?" the two called out in unison.

"I'm sorry. Jing Tianming said quietly, but firmly, "But I can't let you hurt those children. General Hua Sheng looked at the strange anger on Jing Tianming's face and was speechless in surprise, but Liu Bi was not, he scolded angrily, "You are really foolish!" and tried to pick up the bow and arrow that had fallen to the ground with his left hand. General Hua Sheng only heard a scream, but it was Jing Tianming who discounted Liu Bi's left hand. Jing Tianming then cut off all the bows and arrows, and his sudden actions made everyone in the arrow tower stupid. "I'm sorry. Jing Tianming still said this, "But no matter what, I want to save those innocent children." 」

After leveling Liu Bi and the others, Jing Tianming immediately turned over and jumped onto the nearest ladder car. He climbed along the large net, and his skills were as agile as walking on the ground. As long as there were children who were still alive, Jing Tianming carefully dragged them down, on the contrary, in the face of the Qin soldiers who came to hinder him, he would penetrate one with a sword. Jing Tianming climbed halfway up the ladder, and looked down, although the city wall was full of murderous sounds, it was our side that had the advantage. This handful of Qin troops led by Liu Daimei was being surrounded and suppressed by the soldiers of the Qi State, and even Liu Daimei herself was surrounded by Xin Qujie, Zhu Qi, Ma Dasheng, and Ma Xianxing. It's not too late to save the children first, and then to help. Jing Tianming was thinking about transporting his internal strength, pulled the rope with his hand, and suddenly pulled up several feet upward, and at this moment, a shower of arrows suddenly flew from outside the wall, crossed the cloud ladder, and fell on the wall of Guiling. It turned out that the Qin infantry who were following behind the cloud ladder had already come to the outside of the city and attacked for the first time under Bai Qianhong's order.

"It's dangerous. Almost turned into a hedgehog. Jing Tianming looked at the feather arrows that passed under his feet, and just pinched a cold sweat, but suddenly remembered the people on the city wall, and couldn't help but shout, "Oops!"

The rain of arrows rained down, at least one or two thousand. The Qin soldiers who were fighting at the top of the wall, I don't know what the code was, raised their shields to protect themselves, and Liu Daimei used a long whip to roll up a Qi soldier as a shield. Xin Qujie was not so lucky, before the rain of arrows arrived, he was slapping his palm on Liu Daimei's waist, his hands did not have time to retract, and his body had been hit by hundreds of arrows, and he was killed on the spot; Zhu Qi was thanks to Liu Daimei's kick and rolled down to the corner, so it was fine; Ma Xian woke up and saw the feather arrows flying, but there was nowhere to avoid them around, he jumped up with a roar, and pounced on his brother Ma Dasheng, saving Ma Dasheng's life.

Jing Tianming saw that the two horse brothers were hit by arrows, and he didn't care about his own safety, so he hurriedly jumped down the ladder and rushed over. At this time, Ma Dasheng had dragged Ma Xianxing aside, and Ma Xianxing was hit by an arrow in the back, and blood gushed out. Ma was so anxious that he cried out, "Brother. Brother, what's going on now? Can you stand it?" Ma woke up and lay on the ground, "You finally call me brother, admit that I was born before you." Very good. Very good. "Brother. Is this the time to say something like that? Elder brother. Wake up!? Wake up. Didn't you tell Ma to wake up first? Why don't you wake up? Elder brother. 」

"It's hopeless. There is no help. The horse said loudly to Jing Tianming, who was galloping over, "This idiot......! To do such a stupid thing. 」

Ma stood up loudly, kicked Ma Xian, who would never move again, and muttered while crying: "Stupid! Stupid! I said don't come to Guiling to see any excitement, you want to come." As he spoke, he kicked the horse and woke up again, and cried, "I said that we don't know any King Qi or King Qin at all, so why should we fight for them? You obviously agree with me, don't you? Whether it is the king of Qi or the king of Qin, it doesn't matter what kind of bird king he is, who should not be the same? Just quarrel, or quarrel...... Brother, you don't want to think that we have been bickering all our lives, without you, why am I still alive, brother? What else does it mean? Brother, you wait for brother. Brother, I'm here to accompany you. Ma said this loudly, and slashed his neck with a crescent shovel, and fell on Ma Xianxing. "No!" Jing Tianming didn't expect that Ma Da, who had always been smiling and talking nonsense, would do such a thing, so that he didn't have time to stop it. Jing Tianming stretched out his hand to hold down the wound, but the horse's loud blood splashed on him like a fountain, "No! no!"

Jing Tianming knelt beside Ma Dasheng and Ma Xianxing. Since helping Gao Yue expel drugs, he has become more and more good with the two horse brothers, these two people are cheerful, and they have no scheming, what grievances and grievances, benevolence and etiquette, blood identity, Ma Xianxing, Ma Dasheng The brothers can be said to have never cared about these, and with them, they are always indescribably relaxed. Who are these two people hindering? Why can't they be allowed to live? According to Liu Bi's reasoning, they sacrificed for the country, for the king of Qi, and for the people. Liu Bi said it so categorically, if a person with his kind of thinking dies, he can be called a martyr. But what about people who don't think that way? Is that a vain death?

Jing Tianming staggered to his feet and touched his face. I cried again. I swore to the sky that I would never cry or be sad again in my life. So, why are you crying again now? Jing Tianming wanted to escape, but he left the Erma brothers behind and stopped looking at them.

"At least I can save a few innocent people. He sped back to the ladder cart, but worse things awaited him there. The children he had rescued from the ladder had fallen in a pool of blood, and the mothers who were holding them had died, and even the twenty or so children who were still alive on the ladder had not left a single living mouth. Jing Tianming looked at these innocent women, children and children who should not have died like this, the arrows in their bodies were from the Qin army, some from the Qi army, some from outside the city, and some from inside the city.

"Who's going to tell me what's going on?"

"Who's going to tell me how I can save these innocent people?"

"Who will tell me, what the hell is all this?" Jing Tianming touched the blood on the children's bodies, and could no longer hide the excitement in his heart.

"Why—what?" he let out a roar, but his roar was drowned out by the roars of hundreds of people. "The commander has an order," Outside the gate of Guiling City, hundreds of Qin soldiers shouted in unison: "Open the city gate and surrender immediately, and let the people in the city have a way to live, otherwise there will be no distinction between men, women, and children, and they will wash Guiling in blood!" Hundreds of Qin soldiers shouted this seven or eight times, until they were sure that everyone in Guiling City heard it.

"Open the gates...... Open the city gate......" Jing Tianming muttered. If the gates were opened, these innocent people would not have died, the thought flashed through his mind like lightning. "Sacrifice those who are willing to sacrifice, but at least save the innocent. Jing Tianming stomped his feet and ran towards the city gate while thinking.

The city gate has been a military stronghold since ancient times, and when Jing Tianming arrived, it had already fallen into a scuffle. The Qin army that entered the city through the ladder car was concentrated at the city gate, and Guigu even sent many masters to jump into the city in an attempt to open the city gate. Liu Daimei, Shu Baiyu, Chun Lao, and many Guigu masters who Jing Tianming can't name and don't know are fighting with Lu Zhulang, Duanmu Jingde, Gao Shiran, Gai Nie and others. The two sides come and go, and no one lets anyone. The city gate in front of him has been continuously attacked by the Qin army for more than a year, and it has long been in danger, and it is all due to the continuous repair and maintenance of Zhang Jingfang, a disciple of the Mo family, that it has survived until this time. The Qin army and the people of Guigu didn't know about this section, and they fought with the heroes at the gate of the city, but Jing Tianming knew that the opening and closing of the Guiling city gate now all lies in a mechanism created by Zhang Jingfang. Jing Tianming ran past everyone, jumped on the stone stairs of the city wall, and went straight up the steps.

Zhang Jingfang saw someone running towards him from a distance, and he was still very nervous, until he found out that it was Jing Tianming, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. "It's dawn!" Zhang Jingfang smiled, "It's really good, I'm worried that the defense here is not enough." As long as I think of it, if someone sees through my mechanism and cuts off the three big ropes here, my heart will be ......" Jing Tianming didn't wait for Zhang Jingfang to finish speaking, cut off his words and asked, "Just the three ropes on the right? What will happen if they are cut?" Zhang Jingfang squatted down, bent down and pointed to the city gate below, "Look, the city gate is broken, and it all depends on the upper, middle and lower three wooden fences...... Zhang Jingfang was talking, but he heard a sound in his ear, and a hemp rope was cut by someone and bounced to the ground.

"Jing Tianming, what are you doing!?" Zhang Jingfang struck him with a cane, "Are you crazy? or a traitor who eats inside and out?!" Jing Tianming ignored him, and just took out his sword to cut the remaining ropes. Seeing this, Zhang Jingfang hurriedly made a move "Sang Nu Skein" to pull away his long sword. Although the centurion method is exquisite, it is not Zhang Jingfang's forte, and in a few moves, Jing Tianming cut a rope again. Two of the three ropes were broken, and only the last one was left to hold on, and the wooden fence that had been supporting the gate began to creak under pressure. Zhang Jingfang knew that he was not Jing Tianming's opponent, but he couldn't let Jing Tianming open the city gate no matter what. Zhang Jingfang's heart was horizontal, he threw down the short stick in his hand, flew to block the last rope, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Come on, come on, help!"

Gao Shiran heard Zhang Jingfang shouting, hurried over, and saw that the person who did it was actually Jing Tianming, and exclaimed, "Tianming, what are you doing?"

"I want to save the innocent. Jing Tianming didn't raise his head and tried to kick Zhang Jingfang away, but Zhang Jingfang held the last rope tightly with both hands and refused to let go.

"Innocent people?" Gao Shiran asked.

"You heard that, too. Bai Qianhong said, open the city gate, and let the people in the city have a way to live. 」

"Dawn. You're thinking wrong. Listen to me......

"I don't want to listen! Why should I listen to you?!" Jing Tianming stretched out his hand and hit Zhang Jingfang's three key points, then kicked him away, and at the same time turned his head viciously and shouted at Gao Shiran, "Why do I have to listen to your explanation? You are just a person who can't even tell who is your own daughter!"

"Titicaca...... Titicaca...... The Titicaca ......" jumped away with the last rope, and the wooden fence that had held the two gates together for months made a strange noise, and finally collapsed with a bang. As the three fences fell, the gates of Guiling City suddenly opened. Whether it was the people in the city or the Qin army outside the city, they were all startled by the sudden fall of the city gate. In this short silence, someone shouted with a long internal force: "Bai Qianhong—I opened the city gate—you have to keep the promise—Bai Qianhong—you have to keep the promise—keep the promise!"
