[Rebirth] General waiting for my return

The morning sun shone on Tan Muqiu's side face, a bead of sweat fell on his body, and soon a little water stained on his clothes.

Qin Muqiu suddenly felt a little annoyed.

He has been on the verge of life and death several times, and even died more than once, but at this moment, his life and death should be decided by the thing under that leaf, which is really unfair.

"I don't choose." Tan Muqiu said suddenly.

The Nanba people didn't understand what he said, looked at the young man puzzled, said a few words with a smile on the other side, and then said to Tan Muqiu: "Do you think it's okay if you don't choose?"

"I don't choose, you tell this person." Tan Muqiu pointed to the priest of Guidance Dam with his chin.

The man hesitated for a moment, then relayed Tan Muqiu's words to the other party.After the other party heard the words, he said something to the audience, and then two people from Nanba came up to take Zhao Duanwu down.

"What are you going to do?" Tan Muqiu asked hurriedly.

"He said that if you don't choose, you will kill your companion first." The young man said.

"I choose, I choose." Tan Muqiu said and shouted hastily: "I choose the one on the right, you tell them not to kill him first."

Priest Nanba waved his hand, and the two who were pressing Zhao Duanwu temporarily let go of Zhao Duanwu, still letting him stand beside Tan Muqiu.

Priest Nanba looked at the young man and asked a few words, as if he wanted to confirm whether Tan Muqiu had made his choice.

The young man looked at Tan Muqiu and said, "I have arrested foreigners three times for them before, and those who were arrested three times all chose flowers, so the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven has not been carried out for a long time." He looked at the leaf on the left , and said: "I hope that you will choose flowers again, so that they will not end this business after they successfully sacrifice to heaven."

Tan Muqiu looked at the young man for a while after hearing the words, and saw that the other's eyes were still bottomless, but an inexplicable thought came to his heart, he decided to trust him.

"I'll choose the one on the left." After Tan Muqiu said, he pointed to the leaf on the left with his chin.

The young man said something to the Nanba priest.

Hearing this, the other party put his hand on the left leaf and muttered words.

All the people present were staring at the leaf intently, looking forward to the result under the leaf.Only Tan Muqiu turned his gaze elsewhere. The moment he made his choice, he had already handed over his life to fate.

Fate is something that he fears to avoid.

But the more some things evade, the tighter they will be chased.

That being the case, it's better to just let it go and see where the other party can lead him.

The words spoken by the priest of Nanba finally ended after a long coda.

Tan Muqiu's gaze brightened as he looked into the distance, and then he saw the Nanba priest's hand that was placed on the leaves suddenly retracted. It turned out that he had been shot in the arm by an arrow.Qin Muqiu bent forward and bumped the opponent, who was caught off guard and fell under the high platform.

Before everyone could react, they saw a group of people rushing out with long knives in their hands and heading straight for the high platform.

The leader of this group of people retracted the longbow to the back, drew out the long sword and jumped onto the high platform in a few steps, broke the rope binding the two of them, and pushed Tan Muqiu into his arms involuntarily.

"Brother..." Zhao Duanwu on the side was still in shock, so he rushed forward and hugged Zhao Qingming.

Zhao Qingming raised his hand and rubbed the other person's head, then held Tan Muqiu's arm tightly with one hand, and said in a trembling voice due to excitement: "Let's go."

Tan Muqiu followed the other party for a few steps, then suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute."

Then he ran to the side of the basket and lifted the leaf on the left, and saw a fiery red flower the size of a hawthorn under the leaf.

Tan Muqiu looked into the smiling eyes of the young man, smiled at him, and then shouted at the fallen Nanba people who had already been cleaned up under the high platform: "I chose flowers."

Zhao Qingming hugged the opponent into his arms and leaped under the high platform, followed by Zhao Duanwu.Everyone had a tacit understanding, and they didn't like fighting, so they hurriedly ended the battle and followed the direction the three left.

It wasn't until he ran to the river that Zhao Qingming let go of the person in his arms, kissed him deeply on the lips, and said hoarsely, "It's okay, it's okay."

Tan Muqiu's nose turned sore when he heard this, and he almost shed tears.

The other party's body was still trembling slightly because of tension until now, but he still used words to comfort himself.He really wanted to hug him and be tender with him for a while, but the soldiers had already arrived, so he had no choice but to restrain himself.

After some fighting, the soldiers of the Red Maple Battalion were not damaged, only two of them were slightly injured.

After counting the number of people, everyone crossed the river one after another and scattered into the jungle.

Someone took out a bamboo whistle and blew it three times, but after waiting for a while, there was still no response.

The man looked at Zhao Qingming, saw that the other party nodded and blew three more times, but there was still no response.

Everyone's expressions changed, and they all realized that something was wrong.

"Don't panic." Zhao Qingming still held Tan Muqiu tightly with one hand and refused to relax, and ordered in a low voice: "Separate four people to follow me in the middle, and the rest will be divided into left and right." Just in case, Zhao Qingming assigned Zhao Duanwu to the left to prevent the two from being attacked at the same time.

After the soldiers' division of troops was done tacitly, Zhao Qingming instructed again: "If you are caught in an ambush in a while, fight if you can.

Everyone responded one after another, and the three teams dispersed and moved towards the jungle.

Zhao Qingming gave the sword to Tan Muqiu, took off the longbow and held it in his hand, and kept holding Qin Muqiu with the other hand, not daring to relax at all, for fear that the other party would disappear if he let go.

"Why don't you go to the county?" Zhao Duanwu asked in a low voice as he advanced.

Tan Muqiu felt that the other party seemed a little angry, so he replied, "I want to see you sooner."

Zhao Qingming choked when he wanted to teach the other party a lesson, and the strength in his hand increased by two points: "If I knew I couldn't do without me, I shouldn't have stayed in Zhongdu back then. Wouldn't it be better to come with me?" .”

Tan Muqiu didn't make a sound, but quietly turned his head to look at the other's handsome side face, and couldn't bear to look away for a moment.This experience of life and death made him want to cherish the person in front of him even more, and secretly said, as long as the two of them are safe and sound, they will never act willfully again.

"If you want to watch it after you go back, don't tease me here." Zhao Qingming said in a muffled voice.

Qin Muqiu's face became hot when he heard the words, and he reluctantly looked away.

"Be careful..." A soldier walking in the front suddenly rolled over and hid behind a tree, at the same time a short arrow was fixed on the trunk behind the soldier just now.

Zhao Qingming immediately dragged Tan Muqiu behind him, took the arrow and put it on the bow, looking around vigilantly.

Everyone searched for tree trunks to hide, and at the same time quickly searched for the enemy's location.

"Yo hoo..."

A contemptuous roar resounded from the front of the crowd. Before the crowd could see where the voice came from, voices followed one after another from all directions, all similar to that roar.

The faces of all the people present changed.

After a while, a group of people appeared out of nowhere, their clothes were even weirder than those of Nanba people, but they didn't have tattoos on their faces.This group of people all held short bows in their hands, looking at the few people in the encirclement as if they were looking at the prey that was sure to catch.

Zhao Qingming nervously protected Tan Muqiu behind him, but the enemies were scattered in all directions, it was really hard to guard against.

"Mu Qiu, if I can go to death with you today, I will be very happy." Zhao Qingming threw away the longbow, held the opponent's hand with one hand, took the sword from the opponent's hand, pointed the sword tip On the ground, with a face full of death.

Tan Muqiu didn't say a word, he opened his palms and interlocked with each other's fingers.

Two hours later.

In a dark and damp thatched hut, Zhao Duanwu was tearing off his robe and bandaging the wound on his arm.Around him, there were more than [-] soldiers from the Red Maple Battalion sitting or lying down.

Many people were wounded, but not seriously injured.

While bandaging the wound, Zhao Duanwu looked back at the person lying behind him from time to time. After a while, the person's body moved slightly. Zhao Duanwu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Brother, are you okay?"

Zhao Qingming sat up with a confused face, looked at Zhao Duanwu, and then looked down at the bandaged wound on his body, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Suddenly his expression changed, he quickly looked back around, grabbed the other person and asked, "Where is he?"

Zhao Duanwu's wound was painful, and he frowned and said, "Isn't he with you?"

Zhao Qingming panicked suddenly, got up and was about to run outside, but staggered and fell to the ground.Zhao Duanwu hurriedly stepped forward to help, and a soldier who was nearby also extended his hand to help, and said, "I don't know what kind of poison is on the short arrows of these savages, and those who are shot are not seriously injured. , but all of them are so weak that they can't even stand firmly."

"Where are the others?" Zhao Qingming asked hastily.

"Of our three teams, except for one team that ran away, the other two teams are all here, and even the people who stayed by the river before are all here. Except...your friend." The soldier said .

Everyone didn't know Tan Muqiu's identity, and they were too far away to see the face of the other party when they left for the expedition that day, so they didn't recognize him, and they all thought that the other party was just a very important friend of Zhao Qingming.

"No, I have to go find him." Zhao Qingming took another breath and wanted to get up, but after a little effort, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his hands and feet became weaker.

His eyes were red, he let out a low growl, and punched the ground a few times bitterly, with indescribable annoyance and fear in his heart.The fear and fear of the past few days, I thought it would be over when I found the other party, but I didn't expect that after a short meeting, I got more worry and anxiety.

Zhao Qingming lay powerlessly on the ground, uncontrollable thoughts emerged one after another in his mind, almost driving him crazy.
