Me and my Jianghu Tavern

This time, he just came to drink.

He didn't think about Zhang Ming's refusal these days, he just pretended he didn't know about it.

Gu Qingshan asked for a pot of General Xing, and Zhang Ming served him wine as usual.

Zhang Ming took advantage of the situation and sat down, and said, "Do you have to stay for a while?"

"Leave tomorrow." Gu Qingshan replied, after finishing speaking, he poured a cup and drank it.

Zhang Ming nodded slightly, and picked up the flagon to refill him.

Gu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and asked: "When will Brother Zhang also pour wine for drinkers?"

"I'm just a shopkeeper, not some high-ranking big shot." Zhang Ming said.

"Brother Zhang can enter the list of heaven, so it is natural."

"What am I?" Zhang Ming smiled and said, "Were you the fourth in the list before?"

"That was in the past, and now I can't even enter the celestial list." Gu Qingshan waved his hand.

The toasts were staggered, and the two drank together.

They were all gossips, and Gu Qingshan didn't intend to talk about what happened a few days ago.

Slowly, he drank a pot of wine, but it was only a pot, but he couldn't drink it for a long time.

Zhang Ming suddenly said, "Is it because I didn't promise you?"

Gu Qingshan paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "There is nothing strange about this."

"Actually, I don't have to go or not to go. I didn't promise you. I just think you are too stupid."

Zhang Ming raised his head and looked at him and continued: "You were hunted down by the court, not to mention that you were an official, even if you were drafted, you would not be recruited, but now you are standing on the opposite side of the rivers and lakes, in a dilemma, As I said just now, you used to be the fourth in the list and maybe you still have some strength to fight for, but now you are nothing, what are you going to do to save your life, unless you really don't want anything anymore."

Gu Qingshan fell silent and did not refute.

"You have your family and country in your heart, and I understand you, but the less valuable your life is, the more you have to cherish your life instead of doing things like you are doing now." Zhang Ming looked at him and said.

Gu Qingshan took a deep breath, wanted to drink a glass of wine, but there was nothing in the jug.

Zhang Ming got up and said, "I'll go get the wine and think about it for myself."

Zhang Ming got up and went to the back room to get some wine.

Gu Qingshan sat in front of the wine table, holding an empty glass, thinking for a long time.

Zhang Ming didn't miss a word, these were all in his mind.

I am stupid, completely stupid, for what I think, Gu Qingshan will still be reckless.

In his opinion, perhaps this is not stupid.

Because this is what supported his life until now.

If not, when he escaped from Chang'an City, his heart would have died.

Zhang Ming came out of the inner room with the wine in his hand.

Lift the flagon and fill it up for Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qingshan glanced at it, picked up the wine, and drank it with his head raised.

Zhang Ming looked at Gu Qingshan and didn't speak.

Gu Qingshan said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhang always says things that make people uncomfortable."

However, Gu Qingshan's next sentence was: "However, there is no way out, and there is no plan to retreat."

"Be an ordinary person in the future?"

Gu Qingshan pondered for a moment, then shook his head in denial, "Maybe not."

"The imperial court, the rivers and lakes, these two places have no place for you anymore, so don't even think about showing your face, why don't you go to be someone else's dead waiter?"

"I don't know."

After this time, if he is asked to be an ordinary person, he will not agree.

Many years ago, Gu Qingshan's heart was broken once.

Now he doesn't want that broken heart to be completely broken. If the heart is dead, then what's the point of living in this world.

"With your temper, no wonder you can't be an official." Zhang Ming sighed.

Gu Qingshan smiled wryly, and said: "Brother Zhang, don't make fun of me."

"Don't talk about that, tell me who will go this time."

The hatred between the rivers and lakes and the court has been put aside for the time being.

Nowadays, there are a lot of echoes in the Jianghu, and countless people from the Jianghu have gone to Liangzhou.

This world belongs to Da Chen.

When Beimo came to attack, Jianghu would no longer be silent.

This land cannot be invaded by outsiders.

Almost the entire rivers and lakes are involved in this matter.

Jiange, Daozong, Feihuatai, Baihuagu, Haoranzong, Qingyulou, the six top forces in the world have all sent their men.

"Have they all gone?" Zhang Ming rubbed his chin and said, he raised his head, looked at Gu Qingshan and said, "Actually, I'm curious, how did you convince them."

Gu Qingshan shook his head and said: "I went to Daozong, I didn't say anything else."

"The Taoist sect should be the best to persuade. After all, when we valued the Tao and restrained the Buddha, we had to help both emotionally and rationally."

Gu Qingshan nodded and said: "The news can spread so quickly, Daozong also helped a lot, otherwise I would have to go to the Year of the Monkey alone."

"Did anyone go there?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Of course there are. The Yanshan Sword Tower definitely didn't send anyone here. Sword bearers seldom participate in Jianghu affairs. There is Nian Ci Temple in the South China Sea and Buddhism. There is no need to talk about the rest. They are all small forces. .”

"Fomen?"

"Although Buddhism has declined, it has only closed the mountain gate."

Chapter 281: No regrets in a hundred deaths

Outside the city of Liangzhou, after a great battle, corpses were scattered all over the field. The survivors carried the dead on their backs and returned to the city. Their faces were exhausted, but they didn't say no. Their eyes were red, but they didn't shed a tear.

This is Liangzhou, and they are soldiers from Liangzhou.

May blood flow, not tears, Liangzhou men are never afraid of life and death.

And not far away, thousands of Beimo people watched these people collect the corpses on the ground, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.

In front of them, there is a long gully.

In front of the gully, a bearded swordsman was wearing a black wind, holding a sword in his right hand, and there was still blood on the sword.

That ravine was cut out by the swordsman.

The sword is majestic and presses down on the Beimo army, so shocking, the swordsman alone can stop thousands of Beimo people from taking a step forward.

The swordsman glanced back at the city of Liangzhou.

The corpses have all been restrained.

The remaining hundreds of soldiers from Liangzhou stood behind the swordsman, waiting for him to return.

The long sword in the swordsman's hand moved slightly.

Seeing this, the Beimo army in front stepped back a few steps, afraid of the swordsman in front of them.

"Hmph." The swordsman snorted coldly, and put the long sword back into the scabbard on his back.

withdraw troops!

The swordsman turned around and walked in front of a group of soldiers from Liangzhou.

Hundreds of soldiers from Liangzhou carried the corpses of their comrades on their backs and followed the swordsmen back to the city.

Those thousands of Beimo people could only watch like this, not daring to go forward, not even daring to make a sound.

A single swordsman can make thousands of Beimo people terrified.

This battle is not considered a defeat!

The swordsman went to the top of the city, and the general guarding Liangzhou saw him, and after a long silence, he uttered two words: "Thank you."

"The general seems very reluctant." The swordsman said indifferently.

The general paused and sighed: "The general never thought that the country can be defended only by people from the rivers and lakes."

"The general looks down on people from the rivers and lakes?" The swordsman shook his head and said, "This time, the Beimo invasion will be difficult to stop with the strength of Chen's troops alone. Who does the general think the reinforcements will be?"

The general was taken aback for a moment, then sighed after a while.

People from Beimo, are they really that scary?

He has been a general for more than ten years and has guarded the city for more than ten years.

He has seen all the desolate places in Liangzhou, but he never thought that such a day would come.

At this time, a young general went up to the tower and shouted: "Report! There are people in the city asking to see the general!"

"who?"

"It seems... a quack."

The general froze for a moment, glanced at the swordsman beside him, sighed wryly, "...take me there."

The swordsman looked at him, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

After waiting in the military tent for a while, he finally saw the Jianghu man that the young general was talking about.

This person has scars on his face, is dressed in tattered clothes and rags, and has a rusty knife pinned to his back.

The general took a look, took a sip of tea and asked, "Who are you?"

The Jianghu people that the young general was talking about looked indifferent and only answered one sentence.

"Rusty Swordsman, nonsense."

In the border area of ​​Beimo, a rusty knife cut off all the thieves and bandits in Beimo.

Border crossers, kill!

Troublemakers, kill!

Kill those who harbor evil intentions!

Under the yellow sand, I don't know how many corpses who died under the rusty knife were covered.

This is Beimo Rusty Swordsman, nonsense.

The general put down the tea in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Come here! Give me tea!"

……

Today, Liangzhou has a strong army, but it suffers from food and grass. Liangzhou is a desolate place. Once the battle starts, the food and grass in the city will not last for a few months.

Coupled with Beimo's repeated attacks on the city, there is almost no food and grass left in the city.

"Report! General, tens of thousands of enemy troops have reached ten miles outside the city!"

"What!?" The general slapped the table and stood up.

The swordsman standing beside him frowned, his face darkened.

As soon as an order was issued, tens of thousands of soldiers from Liangzhou were already ready to go.

He also expected that Beimo would launch a general offensive in these days, but he didn't expect the Beimo people to be so decisive.

Insufficient food and grass, weak military morale, the outcome of this battle is unpredictable.

"This time it will be a battle to the death." The swordsman said in a deep voice, "The general has no choice but to defend Liangzhou to the death."

After ordering everything, the general closed his eyes, he was exhausted after dealing with military affairs for several days without sleep.

"Don't go to sleep, General."
