Chapter 50: Return the Relic

"Cangtianjian":

The battle is like a blazing fire, the heart is like iron, and the thousands of hammers and tempers will eventually become rigid.

If the blood is frozen into ice, don't ask when you will return to your hometown!

War is cruel! In times of peace, people yearn for a life of excitement. In times of war, people always want to go home.

......

――――――――――――

Quack-quack-quack-

The crows chirped happily in the sky, and the corpses below were piled up into mountains and rivers of blood! A picture of flesh and blood was like a magnificent mountain and river, but the red scenery was particularly sad.

The smoke of the war gradually dissipated, and Di Feng found a recorder to count the battlefield.

The first tentative siege of the Tatars passed, but the situation was not optimistic. Nearly 20,000 of their soldiers were killed and wounded in this battle, which was only a drop in the bucket. Although the Ming soldiers suffered less than 5,000 injuries, it was a big blow. Because there are only about 100,000 soldiers at the border gates, and there are no reinforcements to make up for it, there will be one less one who dies.

The oppressive atmosphere filled the air like a poisonous mist, and the beaver shrouded everyone.

......

On the city wall, after Fu Shuai's introduction, Chenxiang, the twelve generals of the Di family and Wang Chong knew each other. Thinking of the words on the city wall, Di Feng was both ashamed and grateful, if it weren't for Wang Chong's appearance, I am afraid that this battle would have been lost long ago.

In this regard, Wang Chong didn't feel too much, but focused his attention on Chenxiang.

Dust incense has not been brought with it since the day before yesterday at Yue Fan's request, and it has only changed its appearance slightly. When Wang Chong first saw the fragrance of dust, there was an indescribable familiarity, but it was very strange when he looked at it seriously.

......

Back in the backyard of the General's Mansion, Chenxiang and the others came back with a tired face, Ling Tong and Xiaorou hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and everyone gathered together to say goodbye to each other.

"Wang Chong, why are you here?" Ling Tong suddenly saw Wang Chong arrive, with a look of surprise and curiosity.

Wang Chong said with a smile: "Why can't Lao Tzu come? It's not illegal to kill people here, it's happy!"

Yan Yueshi sneered and quipped: "You dare to love you, you are tired of being managed by the old man at home, and you came out to let off steam, right?"

"Haha-" Fu Shuai laughed when he heard this, with an expression that I know you very well. was so angry that Wang Chong kicked his feet and said loudly: "That's better than you being controlled by your wife." Last time I asked you to go to the drunken Red House to drink, you actually ...... Hmmm......"

Before Wang Chong finished speaking, Fu Shuai hurriedly covered his mouth with a warning look in his eyes.

At this time, Yan Yueshi grabbed his ears and said angrily: "What is the drunken Red Mansion? Why have you never told me." Huh?"

"Where...... Nothing. Fu Shuai cautiously explained: "I didn't go, really! If you don't believe it, you can ask Ling Tong, he, he can testify for me." ”

"I, I don't know anything!" Looking at Yan Yueshi's fierce expression, Ling Tong swallowed back the perjury he had thought of.

"Ahh

A loud shout was not miserable, and it actually attracted all the soldiers guarding it.

......

After their trouble, the nervous anger suddenly dissipated.

Chenxiang smiled, turned to Tu Lei and said, "Tu Lei, why are you here too?"

Tu Lei was expressionless and did not smile, but his tone was softened: "I am a hunter, and I have no place to go, so after arranging my father's and mother's funeral, I and my sister rushed to find you." On the way, I met Wang Chong on the same road, so I came together, but I didn't expect that everyone actually knew each other. ”

"What about your sister?"

"Because of the war, I put her in a peasant house in the city. ”

"That's good, now the war is in chaos, and I don't know when it's going to be a head. Chenxiang sighed slightly, full of thoughts.

"How is Mr. Li?" Tu Lei was about the same age as Yue Fan, but he respected Yue Fan from the bottom of his heart. may be the same reason for the hunter, there is a tacit connection between the two, such as they both give people a sense of loneliness.

Hearing the mention of Li Yuefan, Wang Chong's face sank and said, "Lao Fu, why didn't that wild boy come?

"Oh!?" Fu Shuai said curiously: "Didn't you have a grudge before, why did you suddenly care about Yue Fan?"

"Who cares about him? It's just that he owes me a promise...... He, he's not going to die, is he?"

"I didn't die, but I was seriously injured and was recuperating in the room with my apprentice. ”

As soon as Yan Yueshi's words fell, Wang Chong immediately rushed to the door of the bungalow, Fu Shuai and the others couldn't drink, and they had already arrived at the door.

"Whew-"

Xiao Huo, who was lying at the door, saw a stranger coming forward, so he got up and gave Wang Chong an unkind warning.

"Oh my mother, what kind of monster is this?"

There were a lot of people on the battlefield, Wang Chong didn't see Xiaohuo's appearance clearly at that time, but now when he looks at it, he is really frightened!

Fu Shuai pulled him back with a smile, and said with a sneer: "This big guy is very fierce, we don't dare to provoke it! If you don't want your ass to bloom, stay away from him." Hey~~"

Wang Chong flipped over the silver gun in his hand unconvinced, and was about to try it, but remembering the evil smile that flashed in Fu Shuai's eyes just now, he immediately retracted his front foot, shook his head and said, "No, Lao Fu, you are provoking me...... Lao Tzu is not fooled. Hmph!"

"Haha-"

Everyone laughed, Xiao Huo shook his head in confusion, and then lay on the ground and lazily closed his eyes.

......

The back of the General's Mansion was relaxed, but in contrast, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely heavy.

Di Feng looked at the eleven brothers beside him, and slowly spoke: "There is news from the capital, the situation there is chaotic now, and there is no way to send troops to reinforce. The emperor became ill from overwork and was still in a coma. At present, the frontier enemy is unpredictable, so let's talk about our thoughts. ”

"......" seemed to be full of concerns, and everyone chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Di Feng continued: "Anything can be, brothers for life, I won't blame anyone." ”

"Damn! I have something to say. It was the third brother Di Lei who roared, only to hear him say angrily: "Big brother, you underestimate us too much, the twelve of us have been born and died on the battlefield for ten years, what storms and waves have not been experienced? What scenes have you seen? Do you think we will be afraid of death......

"Smack-"

"Boom-"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, Di Lei slapped the chair next to him away, and continued: "Who the hell doesn't want to live?" Lao Tzu admits that he doesn't want to die, he wants to live well, but Lao Tzu won't run away. From the first day of fighting with the general, I told myself that my life was on the battlefield, and even if I died, I would die on the battlefield. Unless the world is peaceful, Lao Tzu will not put down the plate axe in his hand!"

Everyone couldn't imagine that the usually impulsive brother would actually make such a speech today.

These people are warriors, men who stand up to the sky. As long as their blood is not drained for a day, their hearts will never be cold.

At this moment, no one hesitated, none of them wanted to die, but they were not afraid of death.

"Newspaper—"

The guards outside the hall suddenly burst into the hall, looking anxious, as if something big had happened.

Di Feng didn't have time to blame, and his nerves suddenly tensed: "Is it that the Tatars are attacking the city again?"

"No, it's not!" the guard's panicked appearance provoked all the generals to secretly brain, and just as they were about to scold each other, the guard hurriedly said: "It's the Tatars who sent an envoy......

"Emissary, what are you here for?"

"They said they had come to return the general's relics. ”

"Relic!what?!"

The hearts of the twelve families turned upside down, Di Feng felt puffy, and the bad omen was about to become a reality.

"Go to the castle tower!"

......

――――――――――――

"Tartar envoy, I have come to return the relics of your great general on the orders of the prince of my clan, and I should not open the door quickly to greet you. Under the city wall, a middle-aged man with an ugly face held several pieces of military armor in his hands.

"Coming, coming, General Di, they're coming!"

"It's the Twelve Generals!"

"Get out of the way of the people in front, General Di and they are coming. ”

......

The city wall was surrounded by soldiers, and when they saw Di Feng and the others coming, they all made a way.

"The twelve of the Di family will also come!" the twelve figures jumped up and fell down the tower.

Before Di Feng could speak, the Tatar envoy took two steps forward, handed over the armor casually, and said, "This is the relic of your great general, take it back......! Oh, by the way, the prince asked you to return the body of my prince to my people, otherwise ......"

"Fart, fart, fart...... How could our general die? No, it's impossible! What the are you going to put in the, I'm going to kill you—"

Di Lei raised the axe and was about to cut it down, but Di Feng beside him grabbed him and said, "The third brother stops, don't kill on the battlefield." ”

Behind him, Di Yu said angrily: "Big brother, why bother talking about the rules with these backsliding barbarians, they are all shameless beasts." ”

"Yes, big brother, kill him to avenge the general. ”

"Kill!"

The rest of the family will follow suit, and the arrogant appearance of the other party is really hateful.

"Shut up!" Di Feng said angrily: "Who said that the general is dead? Why did the barbarian say yes? Did you see the body of the general?"

When the generals heard this, they were stunned, and they lowered their heads in shame, not daring to speak out.

"Peng—"

Di Feng knocked the Tartar envoy to the ground with a palm, and said viciously: "Go back and tell Dolgon, if you are a man, don't use this small measure to deceive people." There is a kind of fight to the death on the battlefield. Also, the corpses of your princes are hanging on the city walls, and it depends on whether you have the ability to take them back. If Lao Tzu doesn't kill you, he looks down on you, and a disgusting person like you is not worthy of Lao Tzu to use a knife. Get out—"

After that, he turned to the soldiers on the city wall and said: "Brothers, do you believe that these barbarians say that the general is dead? Although the general has not yet returned, we must take up the weapons in our hands and defend our dignity and our relatives and friends. Tell me out loud, fight or run?"

"War-war-war-"

Listening to the shouts of the soldiers, Di Lei waved the axe in his hand vigorously, and said with a fierce look: "Get out! If you don't get out, Lao Tzu will break your dog's leg." ”

"Roll-roll-roll-roll-"

On the city walls, the soldiers were in a high-pitched and angry mood, and the Tatar messenger wiped the blood from his mouth, looked around, and finally left in humiliation. Before leaving, he didn't forget to let out cruel words: "You Han dogs are waiting, it won't be long before you all kneel and beg in front of us, you wait." cough cough cough ~~"

......

After the Tatar envoy left, Di Yu stepped forward and whispered, "Big brother, what should we do......?"

Interrupting the other party's words, Di Feng said solemnly: "Dolgon, they are not well-intentioned, go back and talk about it." ”

"Let's go!"

......
