hereditary wrong country
Work related
Painful and urgent, startled and angry, one head and two big, pressing down the gourd and lifting the ladle again, a string that was tense in my brain suddenly broke!Finally collapsed, his arms swept across, the teacup on the table crackled and shattered, and he shouted, "Don't go!!!!"
Ji Xiaolan pushed the door open and entered, was drenched with tea all over her trouser legs, and saw that the faces of the father and son were ashen, Fatty Ji had never seen such a situation before, so he didn't dare to complain.
He Shen's eyes were red, and he sat down on the grand teacher's chair without saying a word.Runzhi's eyes were dull, his forehead was swollen, his pupils were dilated, and he stared at the broken porcelain on the ground in a daze.
"Cough," Ji Xiaolan said, "What's the matter? The father and son are arguing?" He approached He Shen and asked in a low voice, "Why? Is it because of the fact that the fifteenth prince was arrested by the Guanzong Mansion? Discussion about saving people? Talking about collapse Is it? Or is it because...it shouldn't be..."
Ji Xiaolan shook her head in denial, looked at her nose and nose, pondered, "Could it be... the old man's popular son-in-law?"
"You!" He Shen's seven orifices smoked, "Even you know?!"
"Hehe, the inheritance and the inheritance are all our own people." Ji Xiaolan said, "Ru Chuan told me that Runzhi and Prince Jia are close friends, and the rest are pure speculation, nothing else, just curiosity, curiosity .”
He Shen kicked Ji Xiaolan's feet horizontally, and seeing Runzhi's distraught appearance, he felt sorry for his son and lost his temper at all.
"Runzhi," He Shen sighed for a long time, "you like that prince, father has no objection, but you know, since he was reborn in the emperor's family, no matter how peaceful he is, he can't hide from the heir."
"Daddy doesn't want to, seeing you go to that point."
Runzhi still didn't say a word, staring blankly at the ground.
He Shen was a little panicked, his son ignored him, he didn't care about his father's dignity at this time, and any treachery was thrown into the sky. He Shen gently touched the bag on Runzhi's forehead with his palm, and picked up the tortoiseshell ring again, Throw it out the window.
Under the sun, the tortoise shell shone with a dazzling small light spot, drew a coherent arc, then bounced on the steps a few times, and fell into the well with a thud.
I vaguely remember that it was a very precious thing, my father used to have quite a precious finger puller.
Runzhi was like this when he was a child. When he fell while learning to walk, He Shen would order people to smash the rocks that tripped him;
Ever since he was a child, He Shen has always tried his best to prevent harm and pain. He is like a huge hedgehog with arms and eyes holding the sky, only leaving the softest place in his arms to his son, hoping to trap the little Runzhi within an inch. , making it the safest area.
Just like breaking a stone, his son will never fall, and driving away the hawker, his son will never have diarrhea.
But He Shen forgot that he will grow old, and his son will grow up. Sooner or later, he will no longer be the mountain of Runzhi, no longer the most dense safe haven, and his son will also leave his embrace and become A man of his own.
"Father rub it, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." He Shen muttered to himself, reached out to hold him in his arms, and patted his back like he did when he was a child, Runzhi's eyes were blurred, and his nose was sore and uncomfortable.
"Father, I'm sorry." Runzhi sniffed, hugged Heshen tightly with both arms, choked his teeth and said, "I know he is the prince, and I know that the road ahead will be difficult, but I must save him, Dad , I can't leave him alone, I..."
"Help!" He Shen said, "Go and kneel in court, there is always a way."
Runzhi was shocked and said firmly, "I'll go too!"
Ji Xiaolan's heart turned like electricity, she tapped on the table with her fingers, and said with a smile: "If you want to save the people in that clan's mansion, it's not like there's nothing you can do—"
Both Runzhi and Heshen raised their heads sharply, "What can I do?!"
"Hey~ Lao He~~~ You are called smart, and you are confused... Hey hey! Don't hit, don't hit, I said, I said-you forgot, why did Fu Kang'an die?"
He Shen shook his head and smiled wryly, "How can I forget... General Fu is a man." Then he frowned and said, "You mean...the Battle of Yunnan and Tibet?"
"That's right," Ji Xiaolan said, "Gurkash sent spies into the paddock and lost one of my generals. This battle will undoubtedly be fought. Now that the battle is imminent, the Holy Majesty is having a headache these days about choosing a general, and among the princes there is No one is willing to personally conscript, this is the time to employ people..."
Runzhi's eyes shone brightly, and the two said in unison, "Done the crime and make the merit!"
☆, expedition order
Three days later, the mud bureaucrats stopped, and all the officials returned to court. Because of the selection of generals for the expedition, nearly half of the military officials complained of illness.
He Shen submitted the memorial early in the morning, strongly recommending the [-]th Prince Yongyan to lead the army to go out and make meritorious deeds.
As soon as the idea came out, the civil servants and military generals were all half-pushed and half-hearted, and pushed the boat along. After all, the matter was imminent, and no one wanted to touch the emperor's brow, which led to his death before he could leave the army.
Only Liu Yong, as always, obstructed it, caught his nose and tears, euphemistically pointed out that Qianlong's treatment of his son was not flat, and he should stage a bloody splash on the dragon's pillar.Now even Liu Yong's robe is not in the way. Apart from Heshen Liu Yong, who in the court would dare to meddle in the housework of the emperor's harem, let him bump into him, lest he avoid it and splash blood all over his body.
The expedition has been decided, the fifteenth prince Yongyan will be the commander in chief, Yuan Rui will be the deputy general to oversee the army, leading [-] troops, and the expedition will begin immediately.
"Ten thousand?!" Runzhi went crazy, "Ten thousand! What is it enough for?!"
"One, ten thousand is not bad," Ji Ruchuan leaned on the table, rolling a fruit from his left hand to his right hand, and then from his right hand to his left. Your second uncle has [-] soldiers stationed in Beijing, you and my second father have [-] soldiers in total, plus support from the imperial court, let’s add more, let’s add up to [-].”
Runzhi was annoyed, "No matter how you put it, it was a war for the imperial court. Gurkash didn't say 1 enemy troops. The second uncle's side was already at the end of its rope, so he asked the imperial court for support. He sent [-] people there, and it was obvious that he was going to lose the battle." What!"
"Be safe and don't be impatient—" Ru preached, "The goal is to get people out of the clan's mansion first. As for the war, I don't understand, but with Brother Rui supervising the army, I think we won't be defeated. "
"If General Fu is still here... Forget it, I'll go out for a while, and you will wait at my house. If my father and your father come back, tell me that I went out to walk my son."
Snow Leopard was drooping in the nest, when he heard Runzhi calling his son, his ears pricked up, but he saw Runzhi running out the door like a gust of wind.
Ji Ruchuan said in a daze, "Boss, boss, you forgot to bring your son..."

Babaoshan Barracks
"This……"
"you……"
Runzhi was dumbfounded.
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come here and help me move it!" Liu Fengchu spat, wiped the ashes on her face, and couldn't help thinking, "Go out for spring hunting, and I won't know if I walk for half a month. Bring back a pheasant, a hare, or something for the teacher, and even pull out half of the bamboo to show respect, and I will accept you as a poor apprentice for nothing."
"Uh... don't you have everything here? If there is any shortage of pheasants and hares, even if you pull the bamboo back, you can't feed them..."
"You are still sophistry! You are a broken apprentice who committed the crime of the lone star of Tiansha. How about you catch whoever you catch? This time, go out this time, kill one of them, and one of them will enter the clan's mansion. Are you happy?"
Runzhi didn't intend to refute anymore, and felt more anxious and blamed himself, and said dejectedly, "Master already knows..."
Yin Zhuangtu embraced the one-person-high marching tent with both hands, and was dragging it on the horse's back. He said distantly, "Runzhi is here? Work, work! Everyone hurry up, it's going to rain."
"Eh? Jingyu is back!?"
"Yeah." Yin Zhuangtu patted the horse's back, startled his feathers and snorted happily, and rubbed his nose against the side of Yin Zhuangtu's face, looking very intimate, "I ran back a few days ago, and it knows the way."
"Are you going to move camp? Moved?"
"Move!" Liu Fengchu tried her best to move the weapon, and scolded, "Isn't it just to accompany your prodigal prince! The emperor is cunning, ten thousand soldiers are enough to do a fart!"
"I'm afraid there are traitors blocking it!" Yin Zhuangtu clenched his fists, "The treacherous ministers control the power, and the emperor can't assign as many as he wants."
"what?!"
Forty thousand soldiers and horses are ready to go, a few soldiers stay behind, all the horses go into battle, and the centurion is lining up to check the number of people, busy like soldiers and ants in an orderly manner.
Shi Lu yelled loudly, "Why can the old cow go?! Just let me stay behind! I want to fight the enemy!!!" Then he was carried away by Chen Xiao laughing and laughing.
"Master!" Runzhi asked excitedly, "Are you going too?!"
"What am I going to do?" Liu Fengchu slapped him on the head, "As a teacher, you must plan a strategy and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away."
"oh oh."
Runzhi said in his heart, afraid of going to the battlefield, he said it directly, and said doglegly, "Exactly, what Master said is very..."
Liu Fengchu took advantage enough, and after listening to the compliment, she was satisfied, took out the cloth bag from her arms, handed it to Runzhi, and said, "These are the three kits prepared for him by the master, and they can only be opened in times of crisis. , you remember to hand it over to him... eh, in fact, why bother, you don't need to hand it over to him, anyway, you too..."
Suddenly a thunderbolt struck the pine tree at the exit of the mountain, and the branches rustled and burst into flames!
After the thunder, heavy rain poured down, but the flames did not spread to other places, and were quickly extinguished by the rain.Yin Zhuangtu touched the rain on his face, looked up at the sky, quite surprised.
"That's all, that's all," Liu Fengchu covered her head with one hand, and waved the other hand, "Where's Fang kid?"
Yin Zhuangtu said, "Arranging someone to send Brother Fang Xian home early in the morning, it must have arrived by now."
"Mr. Fang has gone back?"
"If you don't send it back, why don't you go to the battlefield?" Liu Fengchu stared at the scorched tree trunk, and thunder and lightning cut a neat section, and said slowly after a long while, "Calamity cannot be avoided, and doom cannot be escaped. "In an instant, he regained his unruly appearance, winking and saying, "Oh, yes! You have to remember that the kit must be opened at the most critical moment. If it is not dangerous enough, it will not work. Go ahead and see it later. ...Remember, take the mountain road."
"Well, take the mountain road."
This statement was ambiguous, and Liu Fengchu was always talking about it, so Runzhi didn't take it seriously.
Since the purpose of coming this time has been achieved and the soldiers have been borrowed, Runzhi is very happy, and he will be able to take Yongyan out of the clan's residence in a few days and be reunited.
The next day Yongyan left the clan's residence, the [-] troops waited quietly in the outskirts of Beijing, and the common people lined up to see each other off.
Many officials and generals in the palace came to see them off, Liu Yong was reluctant, and he also refused to get off the sedan chair, Yong Yan bid farewell one by one, among the crowd, Runzhi was the only one not seen.
He Shen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon is not in good health today, so I can't send you off. I asked my minister to bring a word to Prince Jia and all the soldiers." After saying that, he bowed and said, "I wish the fifteenth prince a victory and a triumphant return. Intimidate the world, and raise the prestige of the Qing Dynasty!"
All the officials and common people knelt and said in unison, "I wish the fifteenth prince a victory and a triumphant return!"
Yongyan's thin face was even more resolute, the collar of the python armor was fastened to the top, and the clean neck was covered with whip marks, which was already red, swollen and inflamed.
Yongyan stepped forward to support Heshen with both hands, hesitated to speak, and after a while, Heshen took a step back, not making eye contact with him.
Yongyan's expression was complicated, he clenched his hands tightly, his knuckles turned white, and then slowly loosened them, repeating this several times, and said in a low voice, "How is he?"
He Shen avoided answering, just took out a yellow cloth from his sleeve, handed it to Yongyan, and reprimanded in a low voice, "People should always take care of themselves first, and then others. !" After saying that, he bowed his head and bowed again, "The frontier war is urgent, and the struggle for the land is urgent, and I respectfully send the fifteen princes."
Yong Yan got on his horse and looked at the direction of the capital in the distance, his eyes were filled with deep love. Yuan Rui also got on his horse and followed him, turned around, and raised his gun and shouted, "Boys - we will go out soon!"
Thousands of troops and horses moved slowly, and the dust was flying, gradually moving away from the capital and disappearing into the dim horizon that meets the sky.At the same time, another group of soldiers came out from the junction of Babaoshan and the official road. All of them were well-trained, quick-moving, and uniform. They joined forces with the regular army without anyone noticing, forming an endless curve in the sky.
The setting sun is low, dyeing the thousands of streets and alleys in the capital into a gentle golden color. Lanterns are set up in the bars of wine shops, and the Qinhuai River is shining with light. There is a faint song of moonlight in the painting boats on the river. .
The officials watched the army leave, and Liu Yong went back to the house, unwilling to stay for a moment.
Ji Xiaolan wondered, "Where's your son? You were so anxious before, why didn't you come to see him off now?"
"Let me lock the house." He Shen raised his head and looked up, domineering and arrogant, "If you don't shut him down, you will definitely fight with the brat. The road is difficult and dangerous, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. If you bump into something, do you want my old life!"
"Old He...Are you sure it's closed?" Ji Xiaolan was a little worried.
"Close it..." He Shen was instantly shaken, "Let's go..."
"Let's go! Go back and have a look!!!"
At the same time, the backyard of Xijinzhai:
"Son! Jump!"
"I count to three and you jump!"
"one!"
The snow leopard was wandering back and forth on the wall, its muscles tensed, and its throat was hissing anxiously like a puppy.
"Son, don't be afraid, jump down and I'll follow you!"
"two!"
The snow leopard leaps forward, with a strong body, smooth lines, and full of explosive power!
Runzhi "..."
"...I'm about to be crushed to death by you..."
Snow Leopard jumped up and licked Runzhi's cheek guiltily.
"Huh—didn't you say you counted to three!" Runzhi patted the dirt and said, "As a leopard, I'm still afraid of heights!"
Snow Sand Leopard resolutely bowed his head and whimpered non-stop.
Runzhi looked at the wall, thinking that he had learned from brother Yan and mastered a sharp escape weapon - over the wall.
Facing Xijinzhai, he bowed solemnly and knelt down, with both knees on the ground, and made a long kowtow.
"Father, my son is not filial, and I can't serve you. When the war is over tomorrow and the teacher returns to the court, my son and brother Yan will definitely respect you." After speaking, he stood up and raised his hands, and said boldly, "Go, son, let's find you Dad go!"
The leopard seemed to feel something and howled excitedly.
"Shh! Don't shout! You can't leave if you recruit people!"
The afterglow of the setting sun is splashing, the evening is approaching, and the mist reflects the mountains and rivers like a landscape painting with splashed ink.One person and one leopard drift away, and the brave young man's heart is about to go. For the person he cares about, he is invincible and embarks on a journey.
Volume Four Salt and Iron Forerunner (End)
☆, rapid march
"It's been three days, and the army has been marching day and night. People can bear it, but horses can't bear it."
"The boss doesn't say anything, who dares to rest, hey... let's go, let's go."
"Why are those people in the back different from the battle armor we wear? There must be tens of thousands of people here. Which battalion has an establishment? Don't come here to steal food and grass!"
"I'm a villain, haven't you seen people bring food and grass by themselves? I haven't seen this battle armor before. Maybe it was sent by the imperial court for reinforcements."
"Haven't you ever seen it?"
"I'm getting old, and my memory is also bad. Maybe it's the new outer city army this year."
The old soldier who spoke was struggling. He used to be the leader of Fukang'an. He passed the provincial examination when he was young.Now that he is old, he was supposed to retire from the army and go home to enjoy the blessings, but unexpectedly, the national crisis came to the fore, the general died suddenly, the establishment was rebuilt, and he was pulled out to fight against half a strong man on the battlefield.
The centurion followed up and panted, "The march was too fierce. I've never seen someone so eager to die. What's the reason above?"
"I heard it from afar on the day I left Beijing," the old soldier took out a handful of dry tobacco leaves, chewed them in his mouth, and said, "Looking at that style, it is probably the emperor's son who was found by the people, and other good things will not happen. Going to the battlefield and bleeding to death will bear the brunt of it."
"The Tian family is cool, as it should be."
The centurion sighed unceasingly, and begged for tobacco leaves from the veteran to refresh himself, "Let's hurry up, the stragglers are chasing after us."
"I'm old and useless. I hurt my leg when I beat the red-haired boy with the general in the early years, and the root of the disease has fallen. I can't walk fast."
The centurion was young, and he respected the veterans who had followed General Fu through life and death, and said, "Then I will take care of you."
"Hey, it's against the rules..."
"Should be."
A cold and serious voice suddenly sounded like a muffled thunder: "If you can't keep up, go back to the capital!"
Both of them were in the same shape, and when they looked up, they saw a strong and handsome horse with hanging eyes, and a cluster of red tassels on their foreheads like fire, like a divine beast.Riding a young marshal in black armor, a black gold armor weighing thirty catties, with python patterns embedded in his boots, young, but extremely imposing, his eyebrows are like jackknives, his lips are as thin as sharp blades, he is heroic, and between his brows It looks like a real dragon.
The veteran trembled all over, and immediately knelt down!
"Marshal... Marshal calm down."
The centurion lifted his armor, touched the ground with one knee, and said, "This is the fault of the last general, please punish me, Marshal!"
"Get out together." Yong Yan said sharply.
Yongyan marched for more than three days, ate and slept on horseback, did not take a moment's rest, his eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was even colder.
The army stopped, Yuan Rui rode his horse and chased after him.
The successive marches had already caused the soldiers to complain, and if there was any more complaints at this time, swords would be on the verge of breaking out. Seeing this posture, Yuan Rui hurriedly intervened.
"Marshal calm down, kill the enemy on the battlefield, the number of enemy troops is uncertain, one more person will give you more confidence, and the march to this point, the mountain road is extremely dangerous, rashly repatriating the two of them, I'm afraid..."
"Go away too." Yong Yan said.
Yuan Rui was taken aback for a moment, and all the old troops of General Fu held their breath.
Just when the situation was at an impasse, a general ran from behind the team. This man was tall and straight, with gentle features, a faint scar on the side of his cheek, and a soft armor made of thorns. The waist knife is exactly Yin Zhuangtu.
Yin Zhuangtu stepped forward on foot, raised his hand and shook the reins, Yongyan's BMW actually lowered his neck meekly, then touched the ground with his front legs and knees, and bent down.
Yin Zhuangtu walked to Yongyan's side, and said in a low voice, "If Fengshen is here now, seeing you like this, what should you think?"
Saying "Stop patting the horse's forehead", BMW neighed and snorted happily.
Yongyan's expression was slightly relaxed, and he looked at the old soldier intently, and after a while, he turned around and said, "Two people, carry him away!" Xuan Leng said, "Hussars go first, speed up the march."
The veteran was drenched in cold sweat, resting his hands on the ground, his feet were cramping, he knelt on the spot and could hardly get up, Yuan Rui got off his horse to help him, his face was ashen-cold and livid.
Yin Zhuangtu stretched his arms and patted Yuan Rui's shoulder, still smiling, "You don't have to take it seriously, Major General, he just has such a bad temper."
"Since they are in the same camp, the generals are naturally different. How dare the last general..." Yuan Rui clasped his fists in his arms, and said sullenly, "Thank you, big brother, for rescuing the siege."
"Hey, the world is so big, once you're in one place, you will be in love, so why bother to thank you or not."
The frost and snow have not yet melted, and the mountains are warm and cold, and the jackdaws are singing among the branches.
Yuan Rui abandoned his horse and changed his steps, walking side by side with Yin Zhuangtu.
"I haven't asked you yet, what's your surname?"
"Young General, you are being polite. If you don't dislike it, you might as well follow Fengshen and call Brother Yin."
"Brother Yin is familiar with Runzhi? I haven't heard him mention it before." Yuan Rui said, "My younger brother is away all year round, so I don't know that there are so many troops stationed outside the capital. It is also because of Run that elder brother led his troops to help ten people." The Fifth Prince?"
Yin Zhuangtu: "It's not all. Eldest brother knows that you and Fengshen are brothers, and the army was entrusted by my family's military advisor. The military advisor has supernatural powers and said that the fifteenth prince is the one whom the destiny belongs to."
Yuan Rui was noncommittal, "Brother Yin doesn't sound like a capital accent, who is he from?"
Yin Zhuangtu said with a cheerful smile, "Born in the capital, but growing up outside the Great Wall, the local accent is a bit blurred."
Yuan Rui: "Brother looks courageous and savvy, not like a dormant person. What kind of job does elder brother seek in the court? He can seek fame and fame. I haven't seen it before going to court."
"Today, I'm still looking for a job under the fifteenth prince, and I'm waiting for death." Yin Zhuangtu smiled inscrutablely, "Whether the fame or not will wait until tomorrow."
Yuan Rui was confused, but he didn't ask too many questions. He only thought that Yin Zhuangtu's army was the fifteenth prince's troops. After all, with one more reinforcement at this time, the chance of victory would be higher. If you are familiar with it, you will not feel hostile if you think about it.
Yin Zhuangtu brushed aside the waist-length weeds in front of him, "Prince Fifteen is anxious and straightforward, don't blame him."
"How dare you, Yugong, he is an imperial marshal, and there are different ranks in the army; Yu privately, he is the heir of the heavenly family, with noble blood and status, and a clear distinction between the top and bottom of the court."
Yin Zhuangtu continued to comfort him, saying, "He has his own reasons for marching quickly, but in order to end the war first, the troops will return to the court, and we will meet with..."
"Brother don't need to say too much," Yuan Rui interrupted as if he had been touched on a sore spot, "Your brother understands the truth."
Yin Zhuangtu nodded and said nothing more, the two walked forward in silence, only the rustling of military boots was heard in the forest, and the whole army accelerated their march.
A black shadow swayed across the treetops and disappeared among the layers of leaves.
___________________________________________________
at the same time
The sun was setting in the frontier town.
Runzhi shrank back to the corner of the wall, put his hands together, and breathed out white mist, "Why does it get colder as you go to the border?"
"Son, are you cold?"
The broken walls and ruined walls barely cover the body, the cold wind is as sharp as a knife blade, the cold wind carries the withered grass, and swirls past, the snow leopard flicks its tail, encircling it with its body.
It has been three days since they walked, but there is no sign of the army on the official road. They went out in a hurry and did not pack much. As a result, as soon as they left the capital, all the property was stolen by thieves using the most common tricks.He pawned his outer robe and barely managed to last for a few days, but he was already stretched thin, and today he is completely relying on his face to cheat charity.
Runzhi is very desperate, all supported by the hope of reuniting with Yongyan.
I wonder if my father has read the letter I left, is he angry?Will you be so anxious that you can't sleep at night and don't know what to eat?Will he abandon me in a fit of anger... I am really an unfilial son, I will make amends to my father when I get back.
And where is Brother Yan now?After inquiring along the way, the people have never seen a large army passing by. Did they go another way?
He has never traveled far, and he doesn't know that people's hearts are not old. The small world built by his father when he was a child was too comfortable, so that all the suffering he could think of was limited to the strange and bizarre aliens in the storybook.
Snow Leopard rested his head on Runzhi's shoulder, squinting his eyes at the misty high mountains in the distance, the border town here, and then into the forest.
"Son, you tell them to the end..." A ray of light suddenly flashed in Runzhi's mind, like a thunderclap, the scorched tree trunk burst suddenly, the fire of hope was rekindled, and clever little stars burst out!
"Mountain Road!"
"Take the mountain road!" Runzhi exclaimed, "Master said, take the mountain road! I forgot!"
Liu Fengchu hesitated to speak that day, and the last sentence she said was "walking the mountain road". The mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and there are many bandits, but the distance is indeed much shorter than the official road. Will Brother Yan and the others walk the mountain road?
Run Zhi jumped up and put the three kits into his sleeves. Fortunately, the most important things were kept close to his body and were not stolen. He took out a pair of small wooden figures to look at. One of them was full of vigor, showing off his might, while the other one was drooping, with a knife-cut mark on his face, as if he had been bullied, without any energy.
Runzhi pressed them against his chest. After a while, he took a deep breath, regained his energy, and said boldly, "Go! Son, let's go into the mountains! Drive your father away——I don't believe it!"
☆, banditry
It was getting late, and it was not safe to enter the mountain at this time. The snowy sand leopard kept dragging backwards with its moist clothes in its mouth. One person and one leopard were in a stalemate at the entrance to the mountain.
"Son, Songkou—" Runzhi said, "they have a lot of people, we have to hurry up, we can always catch up to the end of the team..."
Runzhi yelled angrily: "Don't talk about it, you won't have any clothes if you talk about it!"
Xuesha leopard whimpered like a big dog, not daring to stop him, and followed Runzhi into the mountain from the mountain pass trail.
It was already dark, and Runzhi insisted on moving forward with a vain sense of direction. After walking until midnight, Runzhi discouraged, "Son, let's take a break."
On the way, the Xuesha Leopard brought back a bloody hare. The moistened hare couldn’t light a fire. Seeing the dead rabbit, he couldn’t help but shudder. He only ate some sour fruits to satisfy his hunger. Now his stomach felt so sour that it started to throb like a spasm.
Runzhi leaned on his son to rest with his elbows against his stomach.
There was a sound of sand in the grass, and the snow leopard seemed to sense the danger, its back arched, its fur exploded, its muscles tensed up, its ears turned sideways vigilantly, and its throat let out a shrill hiss.
"What's the matter, son..."
Before Runzhi finished speaking, a noose was thrown out of the bushes in an instant!
The attack was so fast that Runzhi was shocked, and just about to turn around, the noose was already behind his neck!Runzhi was unprepared, and was wrapped around his neck. Before he could yell out, the noose suddenly tightened and he flung it towards the tree trunk behind him!
In an instant, the leaves rustled, the snow leopard shot up, bared its teeth, as sharp as a sharp blade, grabbed the rope in one bite, the soft iron rope got stuck between the teeth, and tried its best to protect Runzhi.
The two sides wrestled with each other, Runzhi was able to catch his breath for a while, and hurriedly unfastened the lock, and with his short body crossed his legs, he swept away countless weeds, and the surrounding stones flew out under the force, hitting the end of the iron chain!
Hearing a muffled groan in the grass, a carp in Runzhi jumped up, but saw the snow leopard's eyes were red, the corners of its mouth had been strangled, and the blood foam was all over the place, and it was terribly painful in its heart, and it cried out, "Son! open!"
The Snow Leopard let go, and pulled back the rope, and the black shadow in the forest flashed and disappeared quickly.
The snow leopard's back was bent like a full bow, and it raised its head and let out a whistling sound, about to give chase. Runzhi was startled and anxious, half of his soul was frightened, so he quickly grabbed its tail and panted, "Don't chase! Son—— Huh... sit down and let me see."
Snow Leopard spewed mist from its nose, obviously a little unwilling to let it go, hummed twice in its nasal cavity, then squatted down, obediently opened its mouth for Run Zhi to see.
The corner of the mouth was slightly torn, and two teeth were a little loose. Runzhi patted its head to signal to close its mouth.
It was cold at night in the mountains, but it wasn't too cold after a big movement. Runzhi touched the bruises on his neck, gasped heavily, took deep breaths repeatedly, and his thoughts gradually became calm and clear.The person in the grass just now should be the vanguard of the bandits, if that person goes back to report and attracts the rest of the bandits, I am determined to die here.
I haven't seen Brother Yan yet, and my father is still waiting for him to go home, and he can't die here anyway. Runzhi tried his best to renew his spirit, took a breath of cold air, and said, "Go on, Can't stop - I'm really hungry...”
One person and one leopard speeded forward, Runzhi was frightened, his calf cramps, and he couldn't help but feel scared.
Until the sky turned gray, Runzhi was so exhausted that he could barely open his eyes, struggling, and tried his best to keep going, the snow leopard rubbed its head against Runzhi's hand, turned around and flicked its tail.
"Son, do you want me to ride you?"
The snow leopard turned around courteously, whining in its throat, Runzhi then climbed onto the back of the snow leopard, wrapped his arms around the leopard's neck, buried his head in the fur, the skin under the fur was abnormally warm, and Runzhi felt a little dizzy sleepy.
The sky was bright, and the sound of waves came from the deep valley of the jungle. The snow leopard raised its head and roared. The jungle and mountains shook and the ground was shaking. With wealth and life, he ran steadily towards the distance.
__________________________________________________________
On the fourth day, the old hussars of the Fujia Army still marched hard.
The mountains are high and the road is obstructed, and the soldiers' mental and physical strength are on the verge of collapse after days of trekking.
By the early morning of the fourth day, the hussar battalion led by Yongyan had pulled away from Yin Zhuangtu's army and Yuanrui's infantry battalion behind. Overwhelmed with exhaustion, he propped his spear on the ground and dragged his legs to barely move on.
The owl on the tree branch fluttered to other places, the pine needles supported the wind rustling, and Yongyan's ear pinna moved slightly, as if distinguishing.
Jing Yu suddenly stopped, and nearly a hundred masked thugs rushed out of the bushes in front of him!
The leader is nine feet tall and has a strong body. The upper body is carrying a large bronze knife with a lion's knife. The left eye is obliquely covered with a black cloth tied behind the head, and the mouth and nose are covered, making one eye seem to have no eyelids. Covered, the eyeballs are round and protruding, extremely terrifying.
All the soldiers were startled, and all retreated except the marshal.
The hussar battalion has less than [-] people, and the food and grass go first. It seems to be a large scale, but in fact it is strong outside and hard at work. Moreover, the long journey wears down the will, and the soldiers will be sluggish. Those who are not mentally strong will even have rebellion. Instead of following this iron-fisted marshal, it is so painful Unbearably marching to the battlefield to die, it is better to occupy the mountain as a king to rob the rich and help the poor.
Seeing the situation, the mob leader was very proud, Jie Jie laughed a few times, and the sound was like a drum, "Just a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals are rushing to die?!"
Yongyan coldly glanced at the horse blocking the way, the leader of the mob raised his head, met his eyes, his spine shuddered, and he continued to shout, "Leave the grain and grass, go home and farm, grandpa won't kill the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled! "
The hussar battalion was in a commotion, and some people couldn't hold back and were ready to surrender.
A young soldier behind the leader stepped forward, narrowed his eyes and sized up the young Marshal immediately, as if trying to figure out who he was, then his eyes flashed with a wretched light, and he whispered to the leader, "Boss, the leader is handsome. Wouldn't it be him who was set up at night?"
"Fucking shit!" The leader raised his hand and slapped Xiao Da on the left side of the cheek, and said angrily, "Your eyes are lame! I didn't hear the second child say that the man was accompanied by a white leopard, so I almost suffered a loss Already!" Looking Yong Yan up and down again, he sneered, "There are a bunch of bloody remnants and defeated soldiers behind this man, which is much easier to deal with than the white leopard! Brothers, give it to me! Grab the food and grass and go down the mountain to get a wife!"
Yongyan frowned lightly, a strange flash of light flashed in his eyes, he said that sooner or later, the treasured sword at his waist was unsheathed, and with a crisp clang, he chopped off the oncoming Xiao Dao at the waist!
The wind of the knife sliced straight into the bark half an inch, and before the little slap said 'kill', it was instantly split in two, with a twisted and terrified expression on his face, he spurted blood and died.
Spinning into the crowd, slashing upwards and downwards, the hundred and ten people had no way to block his strike, they were immediately swept away, forcing a bloody path.
Standing in front of the saber, Yong Yan's eyes were as cold as ice, he wiped away the little blood left on the frost blade with his thumb, and put the precious saber back into its sheath.
"Ge Laozi!" The leader's other intact eye almost fell out, and half of his face suddenly showed a hideous look, with blue veins popping out on his forehead, and he raised his knife and charged with a cry!
Yong Yan supported the saddle with one hand, flipped over to vault, and blocked with a horizontal knife in the air. When the two sharp weapons collided, the buzzing sound was clear, and clusters of sparks were sparked!
The leader of the mob holds a knife in his right hand, his left hand hooks into a claw, and grabs Yong Yan's left eye!
The hearts of all the people present trembled, everyone breathed nervously, and kept their eyes fixed, for fear of missing any action.
Yongyan tilted his head slightly, turned his forearm, and lifted the precious knife up at an extremely cold angle. The blade brushed against the bronze knife ring, and there was another burst of red fire. , shot out in an instant!
The leader held up the knife to block, unable to bear the tremendous force, the big ring knife rested above the collarbone, and there was a buzzing sound that was almost broken in an instant, Yongyan held the knife in one hand, and turned his palm into a fist with his knuckles crackling, and the punch hit violently Under the leader's ribs—
The ribs snapped and broke straight into the lungs, the leader of the mob spurted blood wildly from his mouth, his hand lost strength, and the back of the bronze knife was pressed into the collarbone an inch deep. Under the excruciating pain, he fought desperately, pressed the blade with his palm, and slammed backwards. drag!
The handle of the knife left his hand and fell to the ground with a clang.
Yongyan made another move, stepped half a step back, and hit the face with a horizontal fist. The leader hurriedly retreated, but was still beaten until his nose bleeds, his front teeth flew out, and he fell on his back!Yongyan's boxing skills are chaotic, like a wild wind in the desert, an eagle screeching, and a torrent, sweeping flying sand and rocks towards his face!
A lasso rope whizzes in the wind, flying towards it obliquely, Yong Yan keeps his eyes fixed, and cuts it off with his saber——
A person in the distance held a half-length lasso in his hand and shouted loudly, "Brother, fly separately in the face of disaster, brother one step ahead, you wish for good luck!"
Seeing this, the masked thugs fled in all directions, for fear of harming the fish in the pond, no one in the hussar battalion made a sound, their faces were ashamed, they picked up their weapons one after another, and all went out unanimously.
Ji Xiaolan pushed the door open and entered, was drenched with tea all over her trouser legs, and saw that the faces of the father and son were ashen, Fatty Ji had never seen such a situation before, so he didn't dare to complain.
He Shen's eyes were red, and he sat down on the grand teacher's chair without saying a word.Runzhi's eyes were dull, his forehead was swollen, his pupils were dilated, and he stared at the broken porcelain on the ground in a daze.
"Cough," Ji Xiaolan said, "What's the matter? The father and son are arguing?" He approached He Shen and asked in a low voice, "Why? Is it because of the fact that the fifteenth prince was arrested by the Guanzong Mansion? Discussion about saving people? Talking about collapse Is it? Or is it because...it shouldn't be..."
Ji Xiaolan shook her head in denial, looked at her nose and nose, pondered, "Could it be... the old man's popular son-in-law?"
"You!" He Shen's seven orifices smoked, "Even you know?!"
"Hehe, the inheritance and the inheritance are all our own people." Ji Xiaolan said, "Ru Chuan told me that Runzhi and Prince Jia are close friends, and the rest are pure speculation, nothing else, just curiosity, curiosity .”
He Shen kicked Ji Xiaolan's feet horizontally, and seeing Runzhi's distraught appearance, he felt sorry for his son and lost his temper at all.
"Runzhi," He Shen sighed for a long time, "you like that prince, father has no objection, but you know, since he was reborn in the emperor's family, no matter how peaceful he is, he can't hide from the heir."
"Daddy doesn't want to, seeing you go to that point."
Runzhi still didn't say a word, staring blankly at the ground.
He Shen was a little panicked, his son ignored him, he didn't care about his father's dignity at this time, and any treachery was thrown into the sky. He Shen gently touched the bag on Runzhi's forehead with his palm, and picked up the tortoiseshell ring again, Throw it out the window.
Under the sun, the tortoise shell shone with a dazzling small light spot, drew a coherent arc, then bounced on the steps a few times, and fell into the well with a thud.
I vaguely remember that it was a very precious thing, my father used to have quite a precious finger puller.
Runzhi was like this when he was a child. When he fell while learning to walk, He Shen would order people to smash the rocks that tripped him;
Ever since he was a child, He Shen has always tried his best to prevent harm and pain. He is like a huge hedgehog with arms and eyes holding the sky, only leaving the softest place in his arms to his son, hoping to trap the little Runzhi within an inch. , making it the safest area.
Just like breaking a stone, his son will never fall, and driving away the hawker, his son will never have diarrhea.
But He Shen forgot that he will grow old, and his son will grow up. Sooner or later, he will no longer be the mountain of Runzhi, no longer the most dense safe haven, and his son will also leave his embrace and become A man of his own.
"Father rub it, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." He Shen muttered to himself, reached out to hold him in his arms, and patted his back like he did when he was a child, Runzhi's eyes were blurred, and his nose was sore and uncomfortable.
"Father, I'm sorry." Runzhi sniffed, hugged Heshen tightly with both arms, choked his teeth and said, "I know he is the prince, and I know that the road ahead will be difficult, but I must save him, Dad , I can't leave him alone, I..."
"Help!" He Shen said, "Go and kneel in court, there is always a way."
Runzhi was shocked and said firmly, "I'll go too!"
Ji Xiaolan's heart turned like electricity, she tapped on the table with her fingers, and said with a smile: "If you want to save the people in that clan's mansion, it's not like there's nothing you can do—"
Both Runzhi and Heshen raised their heads sharply, "What can I do?!"
"Hey~ Lao He~~~ You are called smart, and you are confused... Hey hey! Don't hit, don't hit, I said, I said-you forgot, why did Fu Kang'an die?"
He Shen shook his head and smiled wryly, "How can I forget... General Fu is a man." Then he frowned and said, "You mean...the Battle of Yunnan and Tibet?"
"That's right," Ji Xiaolan said, "Gurkash sent spies into the paddock and lost one of my generals. This battle will undoubtedly be fought. Now that the battle is imminent, the Holy Majesty is having a headache these days about choosing a general, and among the princes there is No one is willing to personally conscript, this is the time to employ people..."
Runzhi's eyes shone brightly, and the two said in unison, "Done the crime and make the merit!"
☆, expedition order
Three days later, the mud bureaucrats stopped, and all the officials returned to court. Because of the selection of generals for the expedition, nearly half of the military officials complained of illness.
He Shen submitted the memorial early in the morning, strongly recommending the [-]th Prince Yongyan to lead the army to go out and make meritorious deeds.
As soon as the idea came out, the civil servants and military generals were all half-pushed and half-hearted, and pushed the boat along. After all, the matter was imminent, and no one wanted to touch the emperor's brow, which led to his death before he could leave the army.
Only Liu Yong, as always, obstructed it, caught his nose and tears, euphemistically pointed out that Qianlong's treatment of his son was not flat, and he should stage a bloody splash on the dragon's pillar.Now even Liu Yong's robe is not in the way. Apart from Heshen Liu Yong, who in the court would dare to meddle in the housework of the emperor's harem, let him bump into him, lest he avoid it and splash blood all over his body.
The expedition has been decided, the fifteenth prince Yongyan will be the commander in chief, Yuan Rui will be the deputy general to oversee the army, leading [-] troops, and the expedition will begin immediately.
"Ten thousand?!" Runzhi went crazy, "Ten thousand! What is it enough for?!"
"One, ten thousand is not bad," Ji Ruchuan leaned on the table, rolling a fruit from his left hand to his right hand, and then from his right hand to his left. Your second uncle has [-] soldiers stationed in Beijing, you and my second father have [-] soldiers in total, plus support from the imperial court, let’s add more, let’s add up to [-].”
Runzhi was annoyed, "No matter how you put it, it was a war for the imperial court. Gurkash didn't say 1 enemy troops. The second uncle's side was already at the end of its rope, so he asked the imperial court for support. He sent [-] people there, and it was obvious that he was going to lose the battle." What!"
"Be safe and don't be impatient—" Ru preached, "The goal is to get people out of the clan's mansion first. As for the war, I don't understand, but with Brother Rui supervising the army, I think we won't be defeated. "
"If General Fu is still here... Forget it, I'll go out for a while, and you will wait at my house. If my father and your father come back, tell me that I went out to walk my son."
Snow Leopard was drooping in the nest, when he heard Runzhi calling his son, his ears pricked up, but he saw Runzhi running out the door like a gust of wind.
Ji Ruchuan said in a daze, "Boss, boss, you forgot to bring your son..."
____________________________________________________
Babaoshan Barracks
"This……"
"you……"
Runzhi was dumbfounded.
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come here and help me move it!" Liu Fengchu spat, wiped the ashes on her face, and couldn't help thinking, "Go out for spring hunting, and I won't know if I walk for half a month. Bring back a pheasant, a hare, or something for the teacher, and even pull out half of the bamboo to show respect, and I will accept you as a poor apprentice for nothing."
"Uh... don't you have everything here? If there is any shortage of pheasants and hares, even if you pull the bamboo back, you can't feed them..."
"You are still sophistry! You are a broken apprentice who committed the crime of the lone star of Tiansha. How about you catch whoever you catch? This time, go out this time, kill one of them, and one of them will enter the clan's mansion. Are you happy?"
Runzhi didn't intend to refute anymore, and felt more anxious and blamed himself, and said dejectedly, "Master already knows..."
Yin Zhuangtu embraced the one-person-high marching tent with both hands, and was dragging it on the horse's back. He said distantly, "Runzhi is here? Work, work! Everyone hurry up, it's going to rain."
"Eh? Jingyu is back!?"
"Yeah." Yin Zhuangtu patted the horse's back, startled his feathers and snorted happily, and rubbed his nose against the side of Yin Zhuangtu's face, looking very intimate, "I ran back a few days ago, and it knows the way."
"Are you going to move camp? Moved?"
"Move!" Liu Fengchu tried her best to move the weapon, and scolded, "Isn't it just to accompany your prodigal prince! The emperor is cunning, ten thousand soldiers are enough to do a fart!"
"I'm afraid there are traitors blocking it!" Yin Zhuangtu clenched his fists, "The treacherous ministers control the power, and the emperor can't assign as many as he wants."
"what?!"
Forty thousand soldiers and horses are ready to go, a few soldiers stay behind, all the horses go into battle, and the centurion is lining up to check the number of people, busy like soldiers and ants in an orderly manner.
Shi Lu yelled loudly, "Why can the old cow go?! Just let me stay behind! I want to fight the enemy!!!" Then he was carried away by Chen Xiao laughing and laughing.
"Master!" Runzhi asked excitedly, "Are you going too?!"
"What am I going to do?" Liu Fengchu slapped him on the head, "As a teacher, you must plan a strategy and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away."
"oh oh."
Runzhi said in his heart, afraid of going to the battlefield, he said it directly, and said doglegly, "Exactly, what Master said is very..."
Liu Fengchu took advantage enough, and after listening to the compliment, she was satisfied, took out the cloth bag from her arms, handed it to Runzhi, and said, "These are the three kits prepared for him by the master, and they can only be opened in times of crisis. , you remember to hand it over to him... eh, in fact, why bother, you don't need to hand it over to him, anyway, you too..."
Suddenly a thunderbolt struck the pine tree at the exit of the mountain, and the branches rustled and burst into flames!
After the thunder, heavy rain poured down, but the flames did not spread to other places, and were quickly extinguished by the rain.Yin Zhuangtu touched the rain on his face, looked up at the sky, quite surprised.
"That's all, that's all," Liu Fengchu covered her head with one hand, and waved the other hand, "Where's Fang kid?"
Yin Zhuangtu said, "Arranging someone to send Brother Fang Xian home early in the morning, it must have arrived by now."
"Mr. Fang has gone back?"
"If you don't send it back, why don't you go to the battlefield?" Liu Fengchu stared at the scorched tree trunk, and thunder and lightning cut a neat section, and said slowly after a long while, "Calamity cannot be avoided, and doom cannot be escaped. "In an instant, he regained his unruly appearance, winking and saying, "Oh, yes! You have to remember that the kit must be opened at the most critical moment. If it is not dangerous enough, it will not work. Go ahead and see it later. ...Remember, take the mountain road."
"Well, take the mountain road."
This statement was ambiguous, and Liu Fengchu was always talking about it, so Runzhi didn't take it seriously.
Since the purpose of coming this time has been achieved and the soldiers have been borrowed, Runzhi is very happy, and he will be able to take Yongyan out of the clan's residence in a few days and be reunited.
The next day Yongyan left the clan's residence, the [-] troops waited quietly in the outskirts of Beijing, and the common people lined up to see each other off.
Many officials and generals in the palace came to see them off, Liu Yong was reluctant, and he also refused to get off the sedan chair, Yong Yan bid farewell one by one, among the crowd, Runzhi was the only one not seen.
He Shen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon is not in good health today, so I can't send you off. I asked my minister to bring a word to Prince Jia and all the soldiers." After saying that, he bowed and said, "I wish the fifteenth prince a victory and a triumphant return. Intimidate the world, and raise the prestige of the Qing Dynasty!"
All the officials and common people knelt and said in unison, "I wish the fifteenth prince a victory and a triumphant return!"
Yongyan's thin face was even more resolute, the collar of the python armor was fastened to the top, and the clean neck was covered with whip marks, which was already red, swollen and inflamed.
Yongyan stepped forward to support Heshen with both hands, hesitated to speak, and after a while, Heshen took a step back, not making eye contact with him.
Yongyan's expression was complicated, he clenched his hands tightly, his knuckles turned white, and then slowly loosened them, repeating this several times, and said in a low voice, "How is he?"
He Shen avoided answering, just took out a yellow cloth from his sleeve, handed it to Yongyan, and reprimanded in a low voice, "People should always take care of themselves first, and then others. !" After saying that, he bowed his head and bowed again, "The frontier war is urgent, and the struggle for the land is urgent, and I respectfully send the fifteen princes."
Yong Yan got on his horse and looked at the direction of the capital in the distance, his eyes were filled with deep love. Yuan Rui also got on his horse and followed him, turned around, and raised his gun and shouted, "Boys - we will go out soon!"
Thousands of troops and horses moved slowly, and the dust was flying, gradually moving away from the capital and disappearing into the dim horizon that meets the sky.At the same time, another group of soldiers came out from the junction of Babaoshan and the official road. All of them were well-trained, quick-moving, and uniform. They joined forces with the regular army without anyone noticing, forming an endless curve in the sky.
The setting sun is low, dyeing the thousands of streets and alleys in the capital into a gentle golden color. Lanterns are set up in the bars of wine shops, and the Qinhuai River is shining with light. There is a faint song of moonlight in the painting boats on the river. .
The officials watched the army leave, and Liu Yong went back to the house, unwilling to stay for a moment.
Ji Xiaolan wondered, "Where's your son? You were so anxious before, why didn't you come to see him off now?"
"Let me lock the house." He Shen raised his head and looked up, domineering and arrogant, "If you don't shut him down, you will definitely fight with the brat. The road is difficult and dangerous, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. If you bump into something, do you want my old life!"
"Old He...Are you sure it's closed?" Ji Xiaolan was a little worried.
"Close it..." He Shen was instantly shaken, "Let's go..."
"Let's go! Go back and have a look!!!"
At the same time, the backyard of Xijinzhai:
"Son! Jump!"
"I count to three and you jump!"
"one!"
The snow leopard was wandering back and forth on the wall, its muscles tensed, and its throat was hissing anxiously like a puppy.
"Son, don't be afraid, jump down and I'll follow you!"
"two!"
The snow leopard leaps forward, with a strong body, smooth lines, and full of explosive power!
Runzhi "..."
"...I'm about to be crushed to death by you..."
Snow Leopard jumped up and licked Runzhi's cheek guiltily.
"Huh—didn't you say you counted to three!" Runzhi patted the dirt and said, "As a leopard, I'm still afraid of heights!"
Snow Sand Leopard resolutely bowed his head and whimpered non-stop.
Runzhi looked at the wall, thinking that he had learned from brother Yan and mastered a sharp escape weapon - over the wall.
Facing Xijinzhai, he bowed solemnly and knelt down, with both knees on the ground, and made a long kowtow.
"Father, my son is not filial, and I can't serve you. When the war is over tomorrow and the teacher returns to the court, my son and brother Yan will definitely respect you." After speaking, he stood up and raised his hands, and said boldly, "Go, son, let's find you Dad go!"
The leopard seemed to feel something and howled excitedly.
"Shh! Don't shout! You can't leave if you recruit people!"
The afterglow of the setting sun is splashing, the evening is approaching, and the mist reflects the mountains and rivers like a landscape painting with splashed ink.One person and one leopard drift away, and the brave young man's heart is about to go. For the person he cares about, he is invincible and embarks on a journey.
Volume Four Salt and Iron Forerunner (End)
☆, rapid march
"It's been three days, and the army has been marching day and night. People can bear it, but horses can't bear it."
"The boss doesn't say anything, who dares to rest, hey... let's go, let's go."
"Why are those people in the back different from the battle armor we wear? There must be tens of thousands of people here. Which battalion has an establishment? Don't come here to steal food and grass!"
"I'm a villain, haven't you seen people bring food and grass by themselves? I haven't seen this battle armor before. Maybe it was sent by the imperial court for reinforcements."
"Haven't you ever seen it?"
"I'm getting old, and my memory is also bad. Maybe it's the new outer city army this year."
The old soldier who spoke was struggling. He used to be the leader of Fukang'an. He passed the provincial examination when he was young.Now that he is old, he was supposed to retire from the army and go home to enjoy the blessings, but unexpectedly, the national crisis came to the fore, the general died suddenly, the establishment was rebuilt, and he was pulled out to fight against half a strong man on the battlefield.
The centurion followed up and panted, "The march was too fierce. I've never seen someone so eager to die. What's the reason above?"
"I heard it from afar on the day I left Beijing," the old soldier took out a handful of dry tobacco leaves, chewed them in his mouth, and said, "Looking at that style, it is probably the emperor's son who was found by the people, and other good things will not happen. Going to the battlefield and bleeding to death will bear the brunt of it."
"The Tian family is cool, as it should be."
The centurion sighed unceasingly, and begged for tobacco leaves from the veteran to refresh himself, "Let's hurry up, the stragglers are chasing after us."
"I'm old and useless. I hurt my leg when I beat the red-haired boy with the general in the early years, and the root of the disease has fallen. I can't walk fast."
The centurion was young, and he respected the veterans who had followed General Fu through life and death, and said, "Then I will take care of you."
"Hey, it's against the rules..."
"Should be."
A cold and serious voice suddenly sounded like a muffled thunder: "If you can't keep up, go back to the capital!"
Both of them were in the same shape, and when they looked up, they saw a strong and handsome horse with hanging eyes, and a cluster of red tassels on their foreheads like fire, like a divine beast.Riding a young marshal in black armor, a black gold armor weighing thirty catties, with python patterns embedded in his boots, young, but extremely imposing, his eyebrows are like jackknives, his lips are as thin as sharp blades, he is heroic, and between his brows It looks like a real dragon.
The veteran trembled all over, and immediately knelt down!
"Marshal... Marshal calm down."
The centurion lifted his armor, touched the ground with one knee, and said, "This is the fault of the last general, please punish me, Marshal!"
"Get out together." Yong Yan said sharply.
Yongyan marched for more than three days, ate and slept on horseback, did not take a moment's rest, his eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was even colder.
The army stopped, Yuan Rui rode his horse and chased after him.
The successive marches had already caused the soldiers to complain, and if there was any more complaints at this time, swords would be on the verge of breaking out. Seeing this posture, Yuan Rui hurriedly intervened.
"Marshal calm down, kill the enemy on the battlefield, the number of enemy troops is uncertain, one more person will give you more confidence, and the march to this point, the mountain road is extremely dangerous, rashly repatriating the two of them, I'm afraid..."
"Go away too." Yong Yan said.
Yuan Rui was taken aback for a moment, and all the old troops of General Fu held their breath.
Just when the situation was at an impasse, a general ran from behind the team. This man was tall and straight, with gentle features, a faint scar on the side of his cheek, and a soft armor made of thorns. The waist knife is exactly Yin Zhuangtu.
Yin Zhuangtu stepped forward on foot, raised his hand and shook the reins, Yongyan's BMW actually lowered his neck meekly, then touched the ground with his front legs and knees, and bent down.
Yin Zhuangtu walked to Yongyan's side, and said in a low voice, "If Fengshen is here now, seeing you like this, what should you think?"
Saying "Stop patting the horse's forehead", BMW neighed and snorted happily.
Yongyan's expression was slightly relaxed, and he looked at the old soldier intently, and after a while, he turned around and said, "Two people, carry him away!" Xuan Leng said, "Hussars go first, speed up the march."
The veteran was drenched in cold sweat, resting his hands on the ground, his feet were cramping, he knelt on the spot and could hardly get up, Yuan Rui got off his horse to help him, his face was ashen-cold and livid.
Yin Zhuangtu stretched his arms and patted Yuan Rui's shoulder, still smiling, "You don't have to take it seriously, Major General, he just has such a bad temper."
"Since they are in the same camp, the generals are naturally different. How dare the last general..." Yuan Rui clasped his fists in his arms, and said sullenly, "Thank you, big brother, for rescuing the siege."
"Hey, the world is so big, once you're in one place, you will be in love, so why bother to thank you or not."
The frost and snow have not yet melted, and the mountains are warm and cold, and the jackdaws are singing among the branches.
Yuan Rui abandoned his horse and changed his steps, walking side by side with Yin Zhuangtu.
"I haven't asked you yet, what's your surname?"
"Young General, you are being polite. If you don't dislike it, you might as well follow Fengshen and call Brother Yin."
"Brother Yin is familiar with Runzhi? I haven't heard him mention it before." Yuan Rui said, "My younger brother is away all year round, so I don't know that there are so many troops stationed outside the capital. It is also because of Run that elder brother led his troops to help ten people." The Fifth Prince?"
Yin Zhuangtu: "It's not all. Eldest brother knows that you and Fengshen are brothers, and the army was entrusted by my family's military advisor. The military advisor has supernatural powers and said that the fifteenth prince is the one whom the destiny belongs to."
Yuan Rui was noncommittal, "Brother Yin doesn't sound like a capital accent, who is he from?"
Yin Zhuangtu said with a cheerful smile, "Born in the capital, but growing up outside the Great Wall, the local accent is a bit blurred."
Yuan Rui: "Brother looks courageous and savvy, not like a dormant person. What kind of job does elder brother seek in the court? He can seek fame and fame. I haven't seen it before going to court."
"Today, I'm still looking for a job under the fifteenth prince, and I'm waiting for death." Yin Zhuangtu smiled inscrutablely, "Whether the fame or not will wait until tomorrow."
Yuan Rui was confused, but he didn't ask too many questions. He only thought that Yin Zhuangtu's army was the fifteenth prince's troops. After all, with one more reinforcement at this time, the chance of victory would be higher. If you are familiar with it, you will not feel hostile if you think about it.
Yin Zhuangtu brushed aside the waist-length weeds in front of him, "Prince Fifteen is anxious and straightforward, don't blame him."
"How dare you, Yugong, he is an imperial marshal, and there are different ranks in the army; Yu privately, he is the heir of the heavenly family, with noble blood and status, and a clear distinction between the top and bottom of the court."
Yin Zhuangtu continued to comfort him, saying, "He has his own reasons for marching quickly, but in order to end the war first, the troops will return to the court, and we will meet with..."
"Brother don't need to say too much," Yuan Rui interrupted as if he had been touched on a sore spot, "Your brother understands the truth."
Yin Zhuangtu nodded and said nothing more, the two walked forward in silence, only the rustling of military boots was heard in the forest, and the whole army accelerated their march.
A black shadow swayed across the treetops and disappeared among the layers of leaves.
___________________________________________________
at the same time
The sun was setting in the frontier town.
Runzhi shrank back to the corner of the wall, put his hands together, and breathed out white mist, "Why does it get colder as you go to the border?"
"Son, are you cold?"
The broken walls and ruined walls barely cover the body, the cold wind is as sharp as a knife blade, the cold wind carries the withered grass, and swirls past, the snow leopard flicks its tail, encircling it with its body.
It has been three days since they walked, but there is no sign of the army on the official road. They went out in a hurry and did not pack much. As a result, as soon as they left the capital, all the property was stolen by thieves using the most common tricks.He pawned his outer robe and barely managed to last for a few days, but he was already stretched thin, and today he is completely relying on his face to cheat charity.
Runzhi is very desperate, all supported by the hope of reuniting with Yongyan.
I wonder if my father has read the letter I left, is he angry?Will you be so anxious that you can't sleep at night and don't know what to eat?Will he abandon me in a fit of anger... I am really an unfilial son, I will make amends to my father when I get back.
And where is Brother Yan now?After inquiring along the way, the people have never seen a large army passing by. Did they go another way?
He has never traveled far, and he doesn't know that people's hearts are not old. The small world built by his father when he was a child was too comfortable, so that all the suffering he could think of was limited to the strange and bizarre aliens in the storybook.
Snow Leopard rested his head on Runzhi's shoulder, squinting his eyes at the misty high mountains in the distance, the border town here, and then into the forest.
"Son, you tell them to the end..." A ray of light suddenly flashed in Runzhi's mind, like a thunderclap, the scorched tree trunk burst suddenly, the fire of hope was rekindled, and clever little stars burst out!
"Mountain Road!"
"Take the mountain road!" Runzhi exclaimed, "Master said, take the mountain road! I forgot!"
Liu Fengchu hesitated to speak that day, and the last sentence she said was "walking the mountain road". The mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and there are many bandits, but the distance is indeed much shorter than the official road. Will Brother Yan and the others walk the mountain road?
Run Zhi jumped up and put the three kits into his sleeves. Fortunately, the most important things were kept close to his body and were not stolen. He took out a pair of small wooden figures to look at. One of them was full of vigor, showing off his might, while the other one was drooping, with a knife-cut mark on his face, as if he had been bullied, without any energy.
Runzhi pressed them against his chest. After a while, he took a deep breath, regained his energy, and said boldly, "Go! Son, let's go into the mountains! Drive your father away——I don't believe it!"
☆, banditry
It was getting late, and it was not safe to enter the mountain at this time. The snowy sand leopard kept dragging backwards with its moist clothes in its mouth. One person and one leopard were in a stalemate at the entrance to the mountain.
"Son, Songkou—" Runzhi said, "they have a lot of people, we have to hurry up, we can always catch up to the end of the team..."
Runzhi yelled angrily: "Don't talk about it, you won't have any clothes if you talk about it!"
Xuesha leopard whimpered like a big dog, not daring to stop him, and followed Runzhi into the mountain from the mountain pass trail.
It was already dark, and Runzhi insisted on moving forward with a vain sense of direction. After walking until midnight, Runzhi discouraged, "Son, let's take a break."
On the way, the Xuesha Leopard brought back a bloody hare. The moistened hare couldn’t light a fire. Seeing the dead rabbit, he couldn’t help but shudder. He only ate some sour fruits to satisfy his hunger. Now his stomach felt so sour that it started to throb like a spasm.
Runzhi leaned on his son to rest with his elbows against his stomach.
There was a sound of sand in the grass, and the snow leopard seemed to sense the danger, its back arched, its fur exploded, its muscles tensed up, its ears turned sideways vigilantly, and its throat let out a shrill hiss.
"What's the matter, son..."
Before Runzhi finished speaking, a noose was thrown out of the bushes in an instant!
The attack was so fast that Runzhi was shocked, and just about to turn around, the noose was already behind his neck!Runzhi was unprepared, and was wrapped around his neck. Before he could yell out, the noose suddenly tightened and he flung it towards the tree trunk behind him!
In an instant, the leaves rustled, the snow leopard shot up, bared its teeth, as sharp as a sharp blade, grabbed the rope in one bite, the soft iron rope got stuck between the teeth, and tried its best to protect Runzhi.
The two sides wrestled with each other, Runzhi was able to catch his breath for a while, and hurriedly unfastened the lock, and with his short body crossed his legs, he swept away countless weeds, and the surrounding stones flew out under the force, hitting the end of the iron chain!
Hearing a muffled groan in the grass, a carp in Runzhi jumped up, but saw the snow leopard's eyes were red, the corners of its mouth had been strangled, and the blood foam was all over the place, and it was terribly painful in its heart, and it cried out, "Son! open!"
The Snow Leopard let go, and pulled back the rope, and the black shadow in the forest flashed and disappeared quickly.
The snow leopard's back was bent like a full bow, and it raised its head and let out a whistling sound, about to give chase. Runzhi was startled and anxious, half of his soul was frightened, so he quickly grabbed its tail and panted, "Don't chase! Son—— Huh... sit down and let me see."
Snow Leopard spewed mist from its nose, obviously a little unwilling to let it go, hummed twice in its nasal cavity, then squatted down, obediently opened its mouth for Run Zhi to see.
The corner of the mouth was slightly torn, and two teeth were a little loose. Runzhi patted its head to signal to close its mouth.
It was cold at night in the mountains, but it wasn't too cold after a big movement. Runzhi touched the bruises on his neck, gasped heavily, took deep breaths repeatedly, and his thoughts gradually became calm and clear.The person in the grass just now should be the vanguard of the bandits, if that person goes back to report and attracts the rest of the bandits, I am determined to die here.
I haven't seen Brother Yan yet, and my father is still waiting for him to go home, and he can't die here anyway. Runzhi tried his best to renew his spirit, took a breath of cold air, and said, "Go on, Can't stop - I'm really hungry...”
One person and one leopard speeded forward, Runzhi was frightened, his calf cramps, and he couldn't help but feel scared.
Until the sky turned gray, Runzhi was so exhausted that he could barely open his eyes, struggling, and tried his best to keep going, the snow leopard rubbed its head against Runzhi's hand, turned around and flicked its tail.
"Son, do you want me to ride you?"
The snow leopard turned around courteously, whining in its throat, Runzhi then climbed onto the back of the snow leopard, wrapped his arms around the leopard's neck, buried his head in the fur, the skin under the fur was abnormally warm, and Runzhi felt a little dizzy sleepy.
The sky was bright, and the sound of waves came from the deep valley of the jungle. The snow leopard raised its head and roared. The jungle and mountains shook and the ground was shaking. With wealth and life, he ran steadily towards the distance.
__________________________________________________________
On the fourth day, the old hussars of the Fujia Army still marched hard.
The mountains are high and the road is obstructed, and the soldiers' mental and physical strength are on the verge of collapse after days of trekking.
By the early morning of the fourth day, the hussar battalion led by Yongyan had pulled away from Yin Zhuangtu's army and Yuanrui's infantry battalion behind. Overwhelmed with exhaustion, he propped his spear on the ground and dragged his legs to barely move on.
The owl on the tree branch fluttered to other places, the pine needles supported the wind rustling, and Yongyan's ear pinna moved slightly, as if distinguishing.
Jing Yu suddenly stopped, and nearly a hundred masked thugs rushed out of the bushes in front of him!
The leader is nine feet tall and has a strong body. The upper body is carrying a large bronze knife with a lion's knife. The left eye is obliquely covered with a black cloth tied behind the head, and the mouth and nose are covered, making one eye seem to have no eyelids. Covered, the eyeballs are round and protruding, extremely terrifying.
All the soldiers were startled, and all retreated except the marshal.
The hussar battalion has less than [-] people, and the food and grass go first. It seems to be a large scale, but in fact it is strong outside and hard at work. Moreover, the long journey wears down the will, and the soldiers will be sluggish. Those who are not mentally strong will even have rebellion. Instead of following this iron-fisted marshal, it is so painful Unbearably marching to the battlefield to die, it is better to occupy the mountain as a king to rob the rich and help the poor.
Seeing the situation, the mob leader was very proud, Jie Jie laughed a few times, and the sound was like a drum, "Just a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals are rushing to die?!"
Yongyan coldly glanced at the horse blocking the way, the leader of the mob raised his head, met his eyes, his spine shuddered, and he continued to shout, "Leave the grain and grass, go home and farm, grandpa won't kill the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled! "
The hussar battalion was in a commotion, and some people couldn't hold back and were ready to surrender.
A young soldier behind the leader stepped forward, narrowed his eyes and sized up the young Marshal immediately, as if trying to figure out who he was, then his eyes flashed with a wretched light, and he whispered to the leader, "Boss, the leader is handsome. Wouldn't it be him who was set up at night?"
"Fucking shit!" The leader raised his hand and slapped Xiao Da on the left side of the cheek, and said angrily, "Your eyes are lame! I didn't hear the second child say that the man was accompanied by a white leopard, so I almost suffered a loss Already!" Looking Yong Yan up and down again, he sneered, "There are a bunch of bloody remnants and defeated soldiers behind this man, which is much easier to deal with than the white leopard! Brothers, give it to me! Grab the food and grass and go down the mountain to get a wife!"
Yongyan frowned lightly, a strange flash of light flashed in his eyes, he said that sooner or later, the treasured sword at his waist was unsheathed, and with a crisp clang, he chopped off the oncoming Xiao Dao at the waist!
The wind of the knife sliced straight into the bark half an inch, and before the little slap said 'kill', it was instantly split in two, with a twisted and terrified expression on his face, he spurted blood and died.
Spinning into the crowd, slashing upwards and downwards, the hundred and ten people had no way to block his strike, they were immediately swept away, forcing a bloody path.
Standing in front of the saber, Yong Yan's eyes were as cold as ice, he wiped away the little blood left on the frost blade with his thumb, and put the precious saber back into its sheath.
"Ge Laozi!" The leader's other intact eye almost fell out, and half of his face suddenly showed a hideous look, with blue veins popping out on his forehead, and he raised his knife and charged with a cry!
Yong Yan supported the saddle with one hand, flipped over to vault, and blocked with a horizontal knife in the air. When the two sharp weapons collided, the buzzing sound was clear, and clusters of sparks were sparked!
The leader of the mob holds a knife in his right hand, his left hand hooks into a claw, and grabs Yong Yan's left eye!
The hearts of all the people present trembled, everyone breathed nervously, and kept their eyes fixed, for fear of missing any action.
Yongyan tilted his head slightly, turned his forearm, and lifted the precious knife up at an extremely cold angle. The blade brushed against the bronze knife ring, and there was another burst of red fire. , shot out in an instant!
The leader held up the knife to block, unable to bear the tremendous force, the big ring knife rested above the collarbone, and there was a buzzing sound that was almost broken in an instant, Yongyan held the knife in one hand, and turned his palm into a fist with his knuckles crackling, and the punch hit violently Under the leader's ribs—
The ribs snapped and broke straight into the lungs, the leader of the mob spurted blood wildly from his mouth, his hand lost strength, and the back of the bronze knife was pressed into the collarbone an inch deep. Under the excruciating pain, he fought desperately, pressed the blade with his palm, and slammed backwards. drag!
The handle of the knife left his hand and fell to the ground with a clang.
Yongyan made another move, stepped half a step back, and hit the face with a horizontal fist. The leader hurriedly retreated, but was still beaten until his nose bleeds, his front teeth flew out, and he fell on his back!Yongyan's boxing skills are chaotic, like a wild wind in the desert, an eagle screeching, and a torrent, sweeping flying sand and rocks towards his face!
A lasso rope whizzes in the wind, flying towards it obliquely, Yong Yan keeps his eyes fixed, and cuts it off with his saber——
A person in the distance held a half-length lasso in his hand and shouted loudly, "Brother, fly separately in the face of disaster, brother one step ahead, you wish for good luck!"
Seeing this, the masked thugs fled in all directions, for fear of harming the fish in the pond, no one in the hussar battalion made a sound, their faces were ashamed, they picked up their weapons one after another, and all went out unanimously.
