The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

In the dark passage with no light at all, there is a smell similar to dust and mold, mud and swamp, which is really unpleasant.

For some reason, Yu Zhuo suddenly thought of Xia Houzhan.

At this time, he must be on a journey, full of worries, tasteless, waiting for good or bad news from Mingzhou.Will you toss and turn at night, unable to sleep alone?

On the contrary, he has been so tired these days that he closes his eyes and sleeps, and he is so embarrassed that he can hardly separate his mind to tidy up himself.

Ling Yuntai's past enveloped him like a huge mystery.Sometimes Yu Zhuo would come up with a bunch of thoughts about this place: such as his fear of birds and countless Taoist classics; sometimes it would be blank, as if there was no trace left in the 15 years before his life.

It was probably some kind of pain that made me choose to escape.

Occasionally, when I get too emotional, I will feel a dull pain in the back of my head, reminding myself of the existence of this place.

It took only a moment to be distracted, and the voice from above made everyone hold their breath immediately.Because he heard a few familiar curses, General Huang leaned against the wall to listen, regardless of whether it was dirty or not.

"This is the voice of the old captain."

There was an instant silence above, and a trembling voice came: "Who...who is talking?"

When Yu Zhuo found the secret door, General Huang poked his head out and whispered, "Old Captain, can you walk around?"

"Huang... General Huang?" The old captain's voice was full of joy, and then he said that he was tied up and locked up separately from the others.As soon as the words fell, General Huang untied the man and brought him down.

According to the old captain's dictation, shortly after they boarded the ship, the gang of Japanese pirates discovered the island.Although this is only a small team of Japanese pirates, the number of them far exceeds those left behind, so they chose to abandon the ship and return to the island, but they are still outnumbered.

Yu Zhuo then asked: "How many people are left?"

The old captain replied with a miserable face that there were less than 20 people.

Along the secret road, Yu Zhuo and his party found many soldiers who were held incommunicado.The deputy general's face was covered with blood and he was dying. When he saw General Huang, he passed out without saying a word.

Some rooms were still guarded, Yu Zhuo thought to himself, thanks to someone getting lost, they were not wiped out.

The Japanese pirates will definitely have reinforcements coming and going, and they only have one day left. When they returned to the edge of the dark forest, all the soldiers collapsed to the ground.

Yu Zhuo said with a cold face: "We only have one day before the Japanese reinforcements will arrive. Before that, we need to get back the ship."

The old captain said embarrassingly: "There are at least 300 of them, and many of our 40 were injured."

Yu Zhuo repeated his previous plan, but as soon as he finished speaking, there were a few chattering voices. It turned out that the gang of Japanese pirates found out that the person had escaped and searched extensively.

Lowering his voice, General Huang shouted: "Those who are seriously injured will retreat first, and the others will follow me to sneak attack!"

There are only 30 people in this team, they must have been scattered, and it is hard to say where the rest are.

The rustling sound was endless, and Yu Zhuo always believed that they should wait until the pirates entered the dense forest before attacking. Although General Huang respected him, the two had different opinions.

The Japanese sword is sharp, so it is not easy to get advantage in a frontal battle.Looking far away, Yu Zhuo walked through the overlapping bushes, and suddenly saw the clothes of the gang of Japanese pirates.

I am afraid that many people bought and sold the things of the Jing Dynasty with the Wa Kingdom, no wonder they are so arrogant.

General Huang looked at Yu Zhuo with a solemn expression. Not far away, Japanese pirates were about to enter their ambush circle.

Heaven and man fought for a long time, but General Huang finally did not issue an order. After all the Japanese pirates entered the dense forest, they followed along the road they opened up.

Not long after, the gang of Japanese pirates stopped and looked around, their whereabouts seemed to have been exposed, General Huang immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Go to me!"

Yu Zhuo drew his bow and aimed at the suspected leader, only to hear a piercing sound, and the man fell to the ground.

The soldiers followed one after another, and half of the 30 people fell down in an instant. However, they did not run away.

If you use a bow and arrow at this distance, you will feel a little bit tied up. Yu Zhuo picked up the long bow and threw it at the head. The blow was so heavy that the Japanese pirate fell to the ground directly.

A few more people rushed forward, Yu Zhuo was nimble, and quickly harvested their lives with a dagger.

In the blink of an eye, everything was over. Yu Zhuo looked at the bloody clothes all over the floor, sighed heavily, and said, "Hurry up and go."

General Huang immediately asked, "Are there any casualties?"

"We took it by surprise, only one or two were cut." After one soldier finished speaking, Yu Zhuo heard another voice not far away.

"The one whose back was seriously injured before, hurry up." Yu Zhuo picked up a Japanese sword to try the weight, and felt that it was still in hand, so he took it with him and evacuated.

Going around, I finally got rid of another group of pursuers. It happened that the deputy general woke up at some point, coughed twice, and said, "Where are we now?"

Yu Zhuo fed him some water, and said while tidying up the wound, "The location in the center of the island is not easy to fight."

"My lord, don't worry about it. I won't live long. That Xiao Li and Xiao Yu can be treated again."

"Who knows, maybe after tonight, everyone will die." Yu Zhuo washed his hands and face by the sunken puddle, cleaning away the dust and blood.

The lieutenant stared wide-eyed and said, "My lord is so beautiful, I didn't see anything in the dark before."

General Huang couldn't stand the mournful atmosphere, and scolded: "What are you two thinking about, what are you dying for? Believe it or not, I immediately dug a hole and buried you."

The lieutenant nodded with difficulty and said, "It's fine to bury it. We're running out of water and dry food. I'll save some for you."

The other one, I don't know if it's Xiao Li or Xiao Yu, but Yu Zhuo heard the little soldier say: "It's the same with Allah, I won't live long, General Huang, I will leave it to you."

General Huang's eyes widened with anger and his face turned red, but he didn't scold anymore after all, he just said, "Eat first."

The sun was setting to the west, and the forest was getting dark very quickly. After nightfall, the Japanese pirates never entered the forest to search again. They moved around a few times, and finally stopped under a tree.

The torrential rain fell as soon as it said, and they became drowned again.

The makeshift tents were only big enough for the wounded, and even the rain could leak through.Yu Zhuo and General Huang stared wide-eyed and small-eyed for a while in the rain, but it was pitch black and they couldn't see anything.

I don't know who ran over and said: "Most of the wounded have a fever." It sounded like an old captain.

"In such weather, the fire can't be started, what can we do?" General Huang said with a choked voice, "What's more, we don't even have a doctor accompanying us."

In the middle of the night, the rain stopped and the wind stopped.

Yu Zhuo wanted to climb up the tree to see the direction, but the trees here are full of branches and leaves, but they are weak and easy to break. It took him a long time to see the direction of the moon.

It is the end of April, and the crescent moon is like a hook.

Jumping off the tree, Yu Zhuo said: "Most of the pirates are asleep, let's go grab the boat."

"My lord, don't be too fancy. There will be many Japanese pirates guarding the night. Not to mention the landing place, there are probably people guarding outside the forest." The old captain got up tremblingly, and looked for Huo Shi by the faint moonlight, "This Huo Shi Where did you go?"

General Huang also started to look for Huoshi, and even the people who were still awake looked for Huoshi together.

Yu Zhuo touched his chest. He was bumped a while ago, and he didn't know where he lost his flint.

"Don't look for it." General Huang yawned. He didn't sleep well for two days and two nights. No one could hold it back. "Sleep, and don't keep vigil. The grandson doesn't have the guts to come in and look for it."

The rain-wet clothes stuck to his body coldly, and Yu Zhuo felt uncomfortable all over. One can imagine those soldiers who were seriously ill.I can't sleep at this time.

I don't know if Xia Houzhan is asleep.

He should be sleeping, two days is enough for him to leave the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, such running around is not good for his health, if he dares to make himself sick again, he must be locked up in the bedroom for ten or eight days after returning.

If he can go back.

The dawn dawned.

Yu Zhuo vaguely heard the sound of the artillery, and suddenly woke up from the daze, and then the sound became louder and louder, coming from the west.He yelled twice, but no one answered.

"Hey!" Yu Zhuo patted the people around him, but felt hot.

Then the sky dimmed, Yu Zhuo touched his forehead with one hand, and then probed the man, it was indeed burning hot.These people are more or less injured. Now that they are drenched in cold water, they may not be able to hold on.

The first person to wake up was the old captain. After being kicked by Yu Zhuo twice, General Huang snored like thunder, but he just didn't wake up.

"It's impossible for the Japanese pirates to fight with me. I don't know if Master Dong has recruited reinforcements. Let's go quickly." Yu Zhuo hurriedly woke up the sleeping people.

After General Huang settled down, he went to the tent to have a look, and Yu Zhuo asked, "Has the fever subsided?"

"It's freezing cold."

"Go on your back."

There was nothing unacceptable about the ending. More than a hundred people came, but by dawn today there were only less than thirty left.Unexpectedly, General Huang said: "There is no one on the battlefield who carries a dead body back. Don't take any unnecessary things. Let's go quickly."
