Loyal heart travels a long way

Everything is packed, it's time to go back.

The two brothers are actually somewhat reluctant to part with this prairie. Although the prairie is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface, there are always some hidden flies and dogs lurking in it, but if you don't solve your worries for a day, how can there be any pure land?

Zhu Chengdong originally persuaded the two of them to take a carriage. After all, there is still a dead leader who has not been caught. Riding a horse on the grassland is no different from a living target.The two brothers finally discussed and decided to ride a horse.

It's just that the two of them pretended to be Zhu Jiajun. Among the two carriages, only the rear one contained Babao and Sixi with three little tigers and two milk sheep. The front carriage was empty.

In this way, if the leader of the dead soldiers wants to make a move, he will definitely aim at the carriage in front of him first, and the incense in the carriage in front of him will be lit. When he makes a move, he can lead Zhu's army to capture him alive.

However, all of this can only work if there is no one among these people who communicates with him. If Zhu Chengdong really has someone from the other side, the leader will definitely attack the two people outside.

It's just that the two of them were dressed the same as Zhu Jiajun, so that person wouldn't be able to spot the two brothers at the first sight.

The convoy was well organized, and Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao said goodbye to Zhu Chengdong in advance. Zhu Chengdong pretended to go to the carriage to talk to the two, but actually told them that the incense inside was lit for them. When Zhu Chengdong got off the carriage, the convoy started It's time to go.

Zhu Chengdong led the soldiers to send the two brothers a certain way. From the barracks to the official road, they must pass the mountain where the accident happened. The leader must be surrounded by the mountain and stare outside.If Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao pass by the foot of the mountain, it is the best time for the other party to do something. Chu Dancheng believes that the other party will probably come out to assassinate the two of them.

Zhu Chengdong also thought so, so he specially sent the brothers past the foot of the mountain in order to meet the leader.

Today's weather can be regarded as quite good, with a little wind blowing, and the sun is not too big, it is a good time to hurry.

The foot of the mountain is ahead, Gu Zhiyao glanced up the mountain, thinking of the two tigers and peony in his heart, silently chanting the words of condolences in his heart, he wanted the tiger couple to feel at ease and hand over the three children to him superior.

The wheels squeaked, overwhelmed the weeds and left a long rut on the ground. These grasses were very tenacious in their lives. stood up.

Gu Zhiyao narrowed his eyes, feeling that the sunlight in his peripheral vision was a bit dazzling, so he covered the corners of his eyes with his hands, and suddenly realized the smell.

He looked towards the mountain vigilantly, the sun is not too big today, how can it make people feel dazzling?

He didn't forget that those dead soldiers pretending to be Zhu's army all had that kind of light and small crossbow arrows on their bodies, which reflected light like this.The crossbow arrows are specially made of cold iron that has been quenched with poison, and they can almost be regarded as blood-sealed throats. They have used the crossbow arrows to shoot and kill many dead soldiers with their own hands.

Gu Zhiyao and Chu Dancheng were at the end of the line, and Zhu Chengdong was behind him. He winked at Chu Dancheng and gestured at Zhu Chengdong, reminding him to be careful.

"Whoosh—" Sure enough, the crossbow arrow was not a display, just after the three of them breathed out, the Xiaoyu arrow had already pierced through the air, and the target was not the carriage, but Gu Zhiyao and Chu Dancheng.

Gu Zhiyao took out the Yanling knife that he was carrying with him, knocked down the feather arrow, and said through gritted teeth: "Cousin, you have to rectify the military style, there are indeed some unreasonable people in your subordinates!"

Zhu Chengdong's face also turned serious. If there were really people from other forces in his army, once the Tatars invaded in the future, it would be easy for the two armies to suffer a lot if they fought.

The opponent's arrow was not heavy, and he had already fired many feather arrows again and again, and those small arrows fell like rain.

The three brothers all drew out their weapons and knocked down the little arrows one after another.Because of the long distance, those small arrows are not considered powerful, so it is not difficult to shoot them down with only a sword.

But there were too many arrows, Zhu Chengdong was busy shooting down the feather arrows, while gritting his teeth, he said, "Did you poke a hornet's nest? Can ordinary people shoot so many arrows so quickly?"

Gu Zhiyao sneered: "Maybe he thinks he is a thousand-armed Avalokitesvara and eight-armed arhat."

Having said that, the three of them were clear in their hearts. It was definitely not who was aiming at the three of them with a crossbow to shoot so many small arrows, but the other party had installed traps on the mountain.

"He knows the secrets of the Mohists." Chu Dancheng snorted coldly, shot down the small arrow that was rushing towards Gu Zhiyao with his sword, and said to Zhu Chengdong, "Let your personal soldiers go to the mountain to search, the mechanism can't shoot so far. Someone must be doing it."

Zhu Chengdong also thought of this, and sent a team of people up the mountain to search.

He is different from those dead soldiers, he is a general, he has a lot of people in his hands, he can easily send three to five hundred people, and he can catch one person after three to five hundred people, even if an ant bites an elephant, he will be killed.

The accident happened in an instant, just when Zhu Chengdong was assigning men, an inconspicuous soldier suddenly jumped up, rushed towards Zhu Chengdong and slashed at him.

Zhu Chengdong was too far away from the two brothers, even if Gu Zhiyao wanted to save others, it was too late, his heart was in his throat for a moment, and he only had time to yell cousin to be careful.

Zhu Chengdong didn't expect that the people in his team would run towards him instead of Chu Dancheng and the others, so he hurriedly raised the long-handled Fengzui knife in his hand to attack.But he is a general, and the weapon in his hand is a long soldier. The person who cut his face with a knife used a short soldier. Such a close combat long soldier is easy to suffer.

Seeing that the simple knife in his hand could not hurt Zhu Chengdong, the assassin took out a folding knife from nowhere, and stabbed Zhu Chengdong with it.

It all happened in an instant, and Zhu Chengdong was about to become the assassin's ghost, but someone reached out to help him block the knife.

It was none other than Ying Er who had been following everyone. He was also wearing Zhu Jiajun's clothes and hid it well. In desperation, he used his arm to help Zhu Chengdong block the knife, and then slapped the assassin out. .

Gu Zhiyao and Chu Dancheng also rushed to Zhu Chengdong's side at this time. The two brothers chopped the assassin to the ground with a sword and a knife.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassin was about to bite the pill in his mouth and kill himself with a movement of his lips, but was knocked unconscious by Gu Zhiyao directly on the back of the head with the handle of the knife.

Only then did the rest of the soldiers have time to tie up the assassin, and just in case, they removed his jaw and threw him into the carriage filled with incense.

And Ying Er covered his arm, his face turned pale.

Zhu Chengdong decisively tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, tied up Ying Er's injured arm to prevent the blood from circulating, and then performed exercises to help him activate the blood, allowing more blood to come out from the wound, and ordered someone to treat him. The military doctor is here.

Everyone here was busy dealing with the wounds of the assassin and Ying Er. The people Zhu Chengdong photographed just now also captured a person on the mountain and returned to his life. It was the leader of the dead who had not come out of the mountain before.
