Chapter 237 Entering the Mountains Again

The group of people pulled the cart into the majestic Jiugong Mountain. The road was winding and difficult. Sometimes, Yang Shucheng and the two of them also helped pull the cart.

After walking to Jiashan Temple, we walked into a canyon from the right, walked five or six miles in the canyon, and came to a valley.

Here, I saw slender green grass, splashing water, and a mountain peak spread out like a flag behind.

The four people pulled the cart to the foot of the mountain peak, and saw only a grave. In front of the grave was a huge stone with the words "Fengtian Jade Monk" engraved on it.

Beside the grave lies a middle-aged man.

The two clerks didn't ask about the origin of the deceased. Now that the war is in chaos, it's no big deal if one person dies. Anyway, the business in the coffin shop is much better now than in the previous two years.

Two men carried the body into the coffin. They brought shovels and dug a hole in front of the old grave.

After digging the pit, the four people lifted the coffin, put it into the pit, filled the pit with shovels, and built a new tomb.

Yang Shucheng asked two guys to move a huge stone nearby and set it up in front of the grave.

Yang Shucheng carved "Tomb of General Li" with his sword in front of the stone.

They brought ready-made paper money, incense and candles, as well as wine and food. The two persuaded the waiter to stay, and the four of them sat in front of the grave, eating food and drinking.

These two guys are the sons of poor people. They usually eat a lot of meat and fish. Now the two of them invited them to drink and eat meat, and they started to eat and drink as much as they could.

The four of them finished eating and drinking.

Yang Shucheng, Bai Yuyao and others stood up and said their final farewells to the two new tombs.

After saying goodbye, the two of them walked out of Jiugong Mountain with the coffin shop clerk.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and the sun was already setting in the west. When we walked out of the mountains, we could already see the market town.

At this time, I saw only a group of people from the town running out.

The two of them knew something was wrong and hurriedly ran forward, only to see groups of people from the town running over.

Behind them were Qing soldiers on horseback, some shooting arrows and some wielding swords, heading straight towards the people.

If the two countries are at war, what does it have to do with the people?

But this group of Qing soldiers specializes in killing people.

The two men were filled with anger, mounted their horses, and charged at the Qing soldiers with swords.

It turned out that the previous vanguard unit was attacked by Li Xing and others at night. Almost the entire army was destroyed, and only a few hundred people escaped back.

The Qing army camp was very angry and sent a large force towards the south.

Li Zicheng's troops had already headed towards Hunan. This group of Qing soldiers had nowhere to vent, so they rushed in when they saw the village and killed the old, weak, women and children when they saw it.

For a moment, people in the market town shouted, and the people screamed incessantly.

When the people behind saw him, they didn't even bother to pack their things, so they ran empty out of the town.

They happened to meet Yang Shucheng and Bai Yuyao. They were angry that the Qing soldiers were killing innocent people indiscriminately. They were so angry that they drew their swords and attacked the Qing soldiers.

These dozen Qing soldiers suddenly encountered these two fierce generals, and immediately surrounded them in the center and started fighting.

The two of them were angry, regardless of their lives. They raised their swords and fought with the Qing soldiers. In the blink of an eye, they saw blood spots flying everywhere, and these Qing soldiers suffered a lot.

The other Qing soldiers did not dare to be careless and cooperated with each other. Some rushed to kill, some fired arrows, and surrounded and killed the two people.

After the Qing soldiers in the town killed the people who had no time to escape, they entered the houses and robbed the property. After robbing the property, they set fires everywhere and burned the bustling market town clean.

The two men pulling the pallet rushed to save their relatives, but they also ran into a group of Qing soldiers and killed the two men head on.

In this way, no one knows about the two new tombs behind Jiashan Temple.

Yang Shucheng and the two used their unique skills and rushed to kill them. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the two of them immediately turned into two bloody men.

After several rounds of killing, many Qing soldiers were killed, but the Qing soldiers rushed out of the town and surrounded the two of them to fight.

This was the majority of the Qing troops, numbering more than 2,000, and part of Zuo Mengeng's troops, numbering more than 4,000, all came from all directions to attack them.

The two of them saw more and more Qing soldiers, and the arrows were whizzing like locusts. They had to avoid the Qing soldiers and these cold arrows. They didn't take care of them well for a while, and they were hit by a few arrows. Although It wasn't a fatal injury, but it was embarrassing enough.

If this continues, the two of them will either be killed or exhausted to death.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Yang Shucheng glanced at Bai Yuyao. Bai Yuyao happened to be looking in this direction as well. Their eyes met and he immediately understood what the other person was thinking.

The two of them rose up in strength, performed light kung fu, and weaved in and out of the ranks of Qing soldiers, looking for opportunities to assassinate the Qing soldiers, and cut a bloody path.

Those Qing soldiers were afraid of accidentally hurting their own kind, so they hid far away and just fired arrows.

The two of them fought a bloody path and ran towards Jiugong Mountain.

This place was not far from the mountain. It was very important for the two of them to escape for their lives. Using Qinggong, it was like chasing wind and lightning.

The two of them just ran away, and the Qing soldiers behind them just shot arrows. Soon both of them were carrying seven or eight feather arrows on their backs, and finally escaped from the place where they could shoot.

Seeing that the arrow behind them was weak, the two of them did not dare to look back. They took a breath and fled into Jiugong Mountain like a whirlwind.

The two fled into the dense Jiugong Mountain, only choosing places with dense forests to escape.

Those Qing soldiers rushed into the mountainous area on horseback, but how could they catch up with Yang Shucheng and the two in this steep mountain with dense forests.

The two quickly escaped from the pursuit of the Qing soldiers.

The two of them still didn't stop and ran for more than ten miles in one breath. They reached the depths of the mountain before they stopped. The Qing soldiers behind them couldn't catch up with the two of them anyway.

The two of them pulled out the arrows from each other's backs, and the blood flowed down their backs. Fortunately, the injuries were minor and they didn't care.

The two of them walked slowly along a ravine into the mountains.

As Yang Shucheng walked away, he asked, "Brother Bai, what will we do in the future? Are you going to Hunan?"

Bai Yuyao didn't speak for a long time, just walked forward, and then said after a long time: "Ordinarily, I should go to Hunan, catch up with Li Zicheng's troops, and also meet my sworn brother Ren Qunce. But, alas..."

Bai Yuyao let out a long sigh and continued: "Since we became sworn brothers, we, the Four Brothers of Xixia, have shared blessings and shared misfortunes. However, two of them have died, which makes me feel discouraged."

Yang Shucheng asked: "What does Brother Bai want?"

Bai Yuyao said: "Brother Ren is very resourceful. I don't have to worry about his safety. I want to go back to my wife's home. Look at these Qing soldiers burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. I want to go home and settle down my family first, and then... The sword alone is dedicated to seeking revenge from the Qing soldiers."

Yang Shucheng said: "Ordinarily, we should go to Hunan. I can't bear to abandon General Li after he explained what he said last night. But after all, our strength is weak, and the Qing army is strong. We really can't help. I can't help him." I want to go back to Banhe’s home in the Xixia military camp and check on my family first. That place has long been the territory of the Qing army.”

Bai Yuyao said: "Let's go along the way. Brother Yang will follow me. He will stay at my house for a few days, and then you can go back home along the Dabie Mountains."

Yang Shucheng agreed, and when they saw that it was getting late, they did not stop and continued walking north.

Soon I walked out of Jiugong Mountain and came to the outside of the mountain. I saw only a flat plain outside the mountain. There were miserable post-war scenes everywhere, and there was no human habitation anywhere.

The two of them didn't speak, and just walked north.
