Chapter 4: The Death of Incense and Jade (II)

Ling Xue'er's eyes widened and exclaimed, "Brother Dongguo is dead?" Luo Tianchu nodded silently. Ling Xue'er usually gets along well with Dongguo Wendao, and when Luo Tian is busy, Dongguo Wendao takes her to play with her, and takes care of her very much. Hearing the news of her death, she burst into tears, gritted her silver teeth and said, "I will also go into battle to kill the enemy and avenge Brother Dongguo." Luo Tianchu said: "Wait for the opportunity in the future, now your martial arts have improved a lot, and the level of the sword that stabbed me is quite high." Ling Xue'er said: "Isn't that a piercing hole, it's still far from my request." What's going on in the city now. Luo Tianchu said: "Don't be busy first, where is the military advisor?" Ling Xue'er said: "Still resting in the bedroom." When I knew that the soldiers were coming, I thought that the military division had no one to protect, so I rushed to guard it. Unexpectedly, Qi Bing really came, and he had no choice but to kill them. Luo Tianchu said happily: "You have done a good job, and you must not be soft on the enemy." I'm going to visit the military advisor first. ”

The bedroom is filled with the smell of Chinese medicine, the doors and windows are closed, the curtains are low, and a candle is lit on the table, and several volumes of "Liutao" are placed next to the candle. Even if he was sick, he couldn't stop Gongsun Mingyue from reading. Luo Tianchu came to the bedside with a heavy heart and lifted the curtain. Although it is summer now, Gongsun Mingyue is covered with a thick quilt, he is still sleeping, his face is pale, his eye sockets are deep, and his eyes are closed, as if he is suffering in his sleep. Luo Tianchu sat down beside him gently, thinking about the former plump appearance of the military advisor, the fairy wind and bones, and now he was tortured by the disease and became like this, and shed tears in distress. Ling Xue'er also stayed by his side to be sad.

Gongsun Mingyue let out a sigh of relief, opened her eyes, her previously bright and deep eyes became dull, she slowly rolled her eyes, and smiled when she saw Luo Tianchu, and said: "The castle lord appears here, it seems that Chang'an is worry-free" Luo Tianchu nodded sadly and said: "Yes, please recuperate with peace of mind and recover as soon as possible." Gongsun Mingyue sighed with a smile: "Life and death are fate, no one can do anything, and the castle owner does not need to be sad." My subordinates are fortunate to see that our fort has the scale it has today, and even if they die, they will be blinded. Luo Tianchu held Gongsun Mingyue's hand and said: "The military advisor will not die, everyone can't do without you, and the Blood Sword Fort can't do without you, what if you don't let us do it?" Gongsun Mingyue smiled and said: "The lord of the castle doesn't have to pay so much attention to his subordinates, he fights the battalion and the water soldiers, and has his own descendants to take over from his predecessors." If you want to have a long-term foundation, you need to have a steady stream of successors, not heroes for one or two decades. ”

Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Students are taught." Gongsun Mingyue said: "The lord of Lingbao is not wrong, you are worthy of being the master of the business, and in just a few years, you have transformed from an ignorant boy to the commander of an army." You are still young, if you can stick to Guanzhong for ten years, you will be more mature and calm at that time. When there are changes in the world, it will enter the Central Plains, take Henan and Shandong as the foundation, and operate for another ten years. If so, it will dominate the world and be invincible. The Southern Song Dynasty of the Jin Kingdom is not your enemy, whether you go north or south, it is not a problem. Luo Tianchu said: "Ten years is too long, and the students plan to send troops to the Central Plains in the near future." Gongsun Mingyue shook his head and said: "Guanzhong is in ruins, and it must be operated for ten years." In the land of ten thousand battles in the Central Plains, if there are no 300,000 elite soldiers, do not go out lightly. Luo Tianchu bowed his head and said, "The student understands." Please rest in peace and come back tomorrow. Gongsun Mingyue shook his hand and said: "The words of the subordinates are from the bottom of their hearts, and the lord of Wangbao thinks twice." Luo Tianchu bowed down and said, "Students must remember." With that, he put down the curtain and retreated with Ling Xue'er.

After arriving outside, Luo Tianchu sighed: "The military advisor is the pillar of our army, and we must find a way to cure his illness." Ling Xue'er nodded and said, "I'll ask a few more doctors to take a look after dawn." Luo Tianchu said: "By the way, I don't know what the situation is in Xiao Zhu's mansion, you go with me to take a look." Ling Xue'er nodded yes.

At this time, the fire in the city had been extinguished, and the soldiers began to clean up the corpses on the road, loading the corpses of the two armies into trucks separately, and the corpses of the Blood Knife Fort were pulled to the back mountain for burial, and the corpses of the Qi army were thrown into the forest to feed the wolves. After everyone saw Luo Tianchu, they all stopped what they were doing and stood on the side of the road to salute, and Luo Tianchu also bowed his hand all the way.

Zhu's Mansion is located in Xicheng Hutong, which is very hidden and not easy to find. He didn't see the corpse all the way, and Luo Tianchu felt a little relieved. When he arrived at the door, he saw that the door of the house was closed, and there was no trace of damage, so Luo Tianchu knocked on the door and said, "Luo Tianchu came to ask his godmother for peace." He called three times in a row and no one opened the door, there were two old servants, four maids, and two midwives in the Zhu Mansion, how could no one answer. Luo Tianchu knocked on the door twice, but there was still no response, he was suspicious in his heart, and said to Ling Xue'er: "Strange, let's go over the wall to see." The two flew over the wall, the courtyard was fresh and quiet, planted with flowers and bamboos, but found that there was a corpse lying in the flower garden, Luo Tianchu was shocked, and hurriedly helped the corpse to watch, and recognized it as a servant in the house, and there were no scars on his body, but there was a sword mark two inches wide and three points deep between his throat. Luo Tianchu's body was cold, this sword can only be stabbed out by a master, which is even more terrifying than Qi soldiers coming to attack.

The two walked quickly into the house, and along the way found five more bodies, all dead with swords in the throat. At this time, he heard the sound of weapons hitting in the house, Luo Tianchu stepped forward quickly, kicked the door of the hall open, the sound came from the inner room, and suddenly heard a coquettish voice, but it was He Yuelian's voice, as if he was injured, and the weapon also fell to the ground. The two rushed into the house, and found that the house was in chaos, the furniture was damaged, the dishes were broken all over the floor, and the two midwives were lying in pools of blood. He Yuelian was hit by a sword in her wrist, and she was bleeding nonstop, but it was Song Lianfeng who injured her.

It turned out that Song Lianfeng did not leave the city, but took advantage of the chaos to arrest a few people and asked where Zhu's mansion was, but it was only because it was remote and difficult to find that he found it at this time. After quietly entering the hospital, he killed the servants and maids, and learned that there were no masters in the house, and Jiang Nuer was giving birth, and He Yuelian was also pregnant. He was jealous and angry, so he planned to kill Jiang Nu'er and the Li family, and then kidnap He Yuelian and torture him slowly. Who knew that He Yuelian's swordsmanship had also improved, and he had to catch it alive again, so he was delayed for a while, and he didn't stop it until Luo Tianchu entered the house.

When he saw Luo Tianchu, he hurriedly hid behind He Yuelian, put his sword against her neck, and said sharply: "Stand still! I will cut her throat one step further." Ling Xue'er shouted: "Sister He!" Luo Tianchu didn't dare to approach, and said sharply: "The surname Song, are you still a man, you actually blackmail a woman!" Song Lianfeng sneered: "If you come half an hour late, my senior sister will realize how much of a man I am." Luo Tianchu said angrily: "You bastard!" He swept his eyes and saw Jiang Nu'er lying on the bed with a big belly, sweating all over her face, moaning, and two basins turned upside down in front of the bed, obviously in production. Li fainted in the corner of the wall, his forehead was broken, and there was no major problem. Luo Tianchu said: "The surname is Song, let her go, I promise not to embarrass you!"

Song Lianfeng laughed and said: "The hostage is in my hands, do you still want to negotiate terms with me?" Luo Tianchu said: "The soldiers and horses of the Qi State have been killed and retreated, and the city is full of our people, do you think you will still run away? As long as you let my brother and sister go, I will let you leave." Song Lianfeng said with a "puff" and said: "Brother and sister, she was originally my wife, but she was occupied by the surname Zhu, I want to take her with me." Luo Tianchu said: "Do you think my brother and sister will go with you?" He Yuelian suddenly said: "I married Zhu Lang willingly, and we have lived very happily this year." If you're still studying the same art, don't mess around here. Song Lianfeng grabbed her hair, made her look up at herself, and said viciously: "I'm not messing around, it's clear that you're a slut who is unkind, and you still have the face to mention our love back then!" Luo Tianchu shouted angrily: "You surnamed Song, let it go!" He Yuelian's hair was caught, but she didn't have the slightest intention of begging for mercy, stared at Song Lianfeng's eyes and said calmly: "I have never loved you, what does it mean to see something different." With what you're doing now, I'm glad I didn't commit to you. Your character and mind are far greater than Zhu Lang's!"

Song Lianfeng was covered with a layer of haze, and said coldly: "Are you pregnant with his species?" He Yuelian said firmly: "Yes! Zhu Lang likes children, I will give him children, I just want to make him happy." Song Lianfeng suddenly smiled gloomily: "You won't be happy with me." With that, he grabbed her by the hair and lowered his head to kiss her deeply on the lips. If He Yuelian was shocked, how could she not be able to brake the acupoint. At this moment, Song Lianfeng's long sword slit her throat. The blood came out like a spring, and He Yuelian's mouth was stiff, and her eyes were straight. Luo Tianchu and Ling Xue'er shouted sadly at the same time: "Don't!" Song Lianfeng flew up and kicked He Yuelian towards Luo Tianchu, but he swung his sword and stabbed at the slave on the bed. After Luo Tianchu caught He Yuelian, he couldn't stop it, but fortunately, Ling Xue'er was quick and used a soft sword to block his long sword. Song Lianfeng saw that the opportunity had been lost, and immediately broke the window and fled.

Luo Tianchu couldn't chase after him, so he let He Yuelian lie flat on the ground, and saw that the wound between her throats was three inches deep, and her blood was gushing out, obviously helpless. He hurriedly took his pulse, lost his true anger, and cried: "Brother and sister, brother and sister!" He Yuelian opened her eyes, grabbed Luo Tianchu's sleeve tightly, and said with difficulty: "Sue ...... Tell Zhu Lang that I ...... I'll marry him...... No regrets for life. Luo Tianchu's face was full of tears, and he nodded desperately: "I will definitely convey it." He Yuelian laughed miserably: "Fortunately, Zhu Lang and I have lived a year of happiness, and this life is not in vain, just ...... Only...... It's a pity that the child in my belly ......" said with the whites of his eyes rolled, but smiled: "Zhu Lang, we'll see you in the next life." He took his last breath. (To be continued.) )
