Inscription of Different Cases

Chapter 120 Decisive Battle 1

The deserted village has long been deserted, and the residents have all moved to the other side of the mountain.Han Lang didn't know how Shen Minggui found this place. Looking at the surrounding terrain and plants, he deduced that this place should not be too far from the capital. There is a river not far in front of it. The river is wide, and it may be the same one outside the capital.

He only had time to think so much, and then he was so overwhelmed by the mountain-like fatigue that he couldn't even move his fingers.The grass in the morning was wet, but not as sticky as the sweat on his body.He moved his lips with difficulty, let out a long breath as if his strength had been drained, and sighed: "I'm exhausted."

He Yijiu responded like a gnat from the side: "Yes."

The skink was shivering from the cool morning wind, immediately curled up into a small ball, and said weakly, "I want to sleep."

Han Lang smiled bitterly: "I think so too."

The two were lying sprawled on the grass, head to head, arms pressed against each other, and a limp skink beside them.There was a stone pinching Han Lang's right leg, which was very painful, but he didn't even have the strength to move it. He really wished he could just close his eyes and sleep soundly.

Until there was a sound of brisk footsteps coming towards them, and then everyone was kicked in the waist.Shen Minggui folded his arms and calmed down and said: "Hurry up, how long do you want to lie down?"

The two got up in despair, and picked up the skink.Shen Minggui strode forward, He Yijiu secretly spit behind him.

When a group of people entered the village, there were dilapidated houses everywhere, many of which had collapsed halfway, and the inside was full of rotten thatch and plaster.They walked around for a long time before finding a house that was barely in good condition. They went in and swept the dust casually, and each found a place to sit down.He Yijiu's chair was almost rotten by moths, and he almost fell when he got on it, and couldn't help but yelled.

The sun came up, and the yellowish sunlight squeezed through the windows, illuminating a small patch of ground.Shen Minggui brought medicine, and they began to re-bandage the wound.When the medicine bottle became empty, Shen Minggui suddenly showed a smile: "50 taels of wound medicine."

"Why don't you die?" Han Lang couldn't help cursing.

Shen Minggui happily enjoyed their expressions, until He Yijiu grabbed Han Lang's sword and made a gesture to cut him, then he laughed and hid out of the door.After a while, he came back with two freshly caught wild ducks.Qinglian fluttered after him, and when he saw Han Lang, his head was separated from his body, and he floated over alone to say hello.

Han Lang was used to this scene long ago, but Skink was terrified.

Qinglian freed another hand, held the wild duck and said, "I don't want to do such a thing."

Shen Ming turned his head and said, "Why don't you want to? I can guarantee that you haven't dismembered a duck in the past thousands of years."

Qinglian thought for a while, and finally accepted: "Yes."

Shen Minggui recruited two more ghost controllers, and under his orders, a female ghost with a disgusting face began to clean the house, and a colorful strange bird stopped on the window sill to watch the surroundings.Han Lang looked at this weird scene with complicated emotions. When the female ghost swept in front of him, she politely said "Let me go". Fire roasted duck.

In the end, Han Lang could only squeeze to He Yijiu's side, and muttered in a low voice, "It's really crazy."

"Make the best use of everything." He Yijiu watched with relish.

After a meal, the female ghost was sent by Shen Minggui to look for Zhuzhen and Ruan Ping, while the rest of them were in the room discussing Jin's whereabouts.After such a battle just now, both Han Lang and He Yijiu felt a bad breath in their chests, and they really wished to tear the skin of the sage king and kick the nest of the current stupid emperor.Aren't they monsters?The prototype was discovered in the capital, and it was harmless, but even Liuding Liujia God ran out.They are not the kind of monsters who are full and support themselves. They have nothing to do and want to find a throne to do something about. As for killing them all like this?

He hated King Xian for being insidious and cunning, thought the emperor had no brains, hated King Zhao for dragging them into the water, and then blamed himself for not living up to expectations and stepping into this pit of fire.The messy emotions were entangled in one place, and in the end it all came down to King Xian.When He Yijiu thought of this, he kicked a chair to pieces, wailed because of the pain, and then roared angrily, "Damn it, I have to tear him up, and then eat him so that he doesn't even have bones. left!"

"Beware of bad stomach." Han Lang said quietly.

Shen Minggui cocked his legs leisurely: "What do you two plan to do next?"

Han Lang sighed: "Do you know the situation in the capital?"

"I only know that someone has rebelled." Shen Minggui waved his hand, "Maybe we won't know the details until the other two come back."

They were not far or near the capital, deep in the mountains, so they were considered safe.If the other party continues to search in a blanket manner, it is estimated that they will still be found in less than ten days.Just keep hiding and chasing like this, I don't know when it will be considered as the end.

"Actually, this is good news," Shen Minggui said, "There is such a big disturbance in the capital, I am afraid that no one will spend manpower and material resources to track down you. If the prince really takes his seat in the future, he will probably remember it." You come."

"Bah, Crow's Mouth." He Yijiu glared at him, "Anyway, we are being beaten passively? We can't beat it head-on, why run away, escape to a place like the end of the world, and pray that he forgets about it?"

"If I meet that prince in the future, I will say something nice to you," Shen Minggui said with a smile, "For example, 'Without the help of the two of them, you would not have achieved what you are today'."

"Which side are you, Shen, on earth? Is it interesting to say sarcastic remarks at a time like this?" Han Lang really wanted to slap him across the face and make him shut up. At that time, you didn't have a good time."

He Yijiu also sneered and said, "Since he asked Mr. Han for help, he must know about you. Do you think he won't count you as one of us?"

Shen Minggui couldn't help but narrow his mouth slightly, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. After a while, he said: "Since I helped you, it means that I have my own considerations. It was just a joke. How can the fate of this country be so popular?" Easy to change."

The two looked at him suspiciously, obviously not believing that he could still tell the truth.Seeing this, Shen Minggui didn't say much, and asked, "Where are you planning to flee to?"

The two of them have been thinking about this issue for a while, but there is still no result.At this moment they looked at each other, and after a moment of hesitation, Han Lang said, "Maybe go to southern Xinjiang."

"Southern Border?" Shen Minggui raised his eyebrows, "The scenery is beautiful and the terrain is dangerous, so it's a good place to hide."

The word "hiding" stung the two of them again. They really didn't want to hide in such aggrieved way, but they didn't know what else to do.Go back to the muddy water?What can they change?But if he left like this, not only would he not be able to vent his anger, but he would always feel like something was missing in his heart.

This discussion came to an abrupt end, and in the evening, the female ghost rushed here with Zhu Zhen and Ruan Ping.The two of them also looked embarrassed, and they didn't know where to rub some dust on their bodies.Han Lang hurriedly apologized to them for the wooden house, Ruan Ping waved his hand generously and said it was nothing, sooner or later.But when he mentioned the animals that were fleeing in all directions, he could not help showing a sad expression.

"The ermine is gone too." The skink beside him muttered.

The four looked at each other, angry, annoyed, uneasy, and confused, and all the emotions could only be turned into a sigh in the end.Zhuzhen told about the situation in Beijing, but his usual indifferent and steady tone was a little anxious at this moment: "I only see so much, there is obviously a traitor among the Imperial Forest Army, joining forces with Shui Qi, the battle situation is not optimistic."

Ruan Ping added: "Xunfenglou got the news this morning, the war is still going on, the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and several ministers died for the country."

Han Lang murmured, "Then... what about now?"

Ruan Ping sighed: "I don't know, for the sake of safety, most of my troops have evacuated from the capital."

All four of them fell silent with serious expressions, only Shen Minggui did not participate in it, and sat outside the room humming some strange tune.They have long been too lazy to care about this heartless guy. After a long time, Han Lang said in a dull tone: "Now... should we continue to escape, or..."

This is the question everyone is fretting about, but no one can make up their minds about.These words were like throwing a stone into a stagnant pool, except for a soft sound, there was no movement.

Until a certain moment, He Yijiu suddenly burst into a fit of anger, cursing with righteous indignation: "What else can I do? The virtuous king has forced me to this point. Either be a coward, or go back to die!"

Han Lang hurriedly pushed him down: "What are you shouting about? You are still injured! Go back!"

What He Yijiu said was indeed reasonable. If things hadn't developed to such a situation before, he still had a little luck, but the current situation gave him a severe slap in the face.The shame of being hunted down rekindled his anger. He didn't care about national affairs, but the flames of war reached his eyebrows, and he had to react.

However, when the angry roar ended, there was no response.Ruan Ping shook his head and didn't answer, but Zhuzhen said: "I'm an assassin, I don't have a home, I can go anywhere."

Ruan Ping was noncommittal.

Han Lang smiled wryly and said, "It seems that the two of you have already made plans."

"also?"

"They want to go to southern Xinjiang to live a happy life," Shen Minggui's voice floated in from outside, "Let's all be cowards together, it's better than dying."

Han Lang looked away at He Yijiu, but the other party didn't speak any more. The movement just now made his wound ooze blood again, and the blood-stained bandages on his hands and feet looked particularly shocking.

"Yes, let's go to southern Xinjiang."

Han Lang finally said.

They planned to leave after recovering from their injuries, and spent four long days and three nights in this deserted village.News from Xunfenglou continued to come, most of which were not good news, and Han Lang didn't even dare to listen carefully.Even he himself wanted to ridicule this evasive behavior, but he could only move a stool and sit under the sun, while giving medicine to He Yijiu, he sighed.

He Yijiu could only comfort and pat him on the head.

The only good thing is that the ermine came up and brought the group of small animals raised by Ruan Ping.She said that when she got home, she found that the house was gone, and then met the kitten who had escaped at that time, so she found other companions in the woods, and then ran all the way, and finally found this place.

With a playmate, Skink became lively all of a sudden.How to arrange these little guys made them difficult, Ruan Ping finally decided to let them all hide in the deserted village, under the care of skinks and ermines, and take them away after they settle down.

The two goblins took up this important task with great excitement.

By the evening of the fourth day, the worst news came.The emperor did not move for a long time, suspected to have died in the scuffle.A fire broke out at the city gate, which affected Chiyu. In order to search for the courtiers who refused to surrender, Anping County, which was already overcrowded with refugees, was also spread by the flames of war.They sealed off the gates of the city and investigated one by one. Some people resisted and were forcibly suppressed, causing hundreds of deaths and injuries.

When Han Lang heard the news, he looked at Ruan Ping in a daze at first, as if he didn't realize what happened.However, after a while, he suddenly felt that a sledgehammer hit his heart hard, making him tremble all over.

A few days ago, he was still annoyed by the emperor arresting them, but now he felt a little helpless in his heart, could it really be like this?The country and the imperial court he once loyal to, the Anping people he once protected, are they gone like this...?

Did these people die in vain?

He didn't know what kind of mood he was in, as if a former best friend had betrayed him, but he still felt unspeakable grief when he learned of his death.Even if the court was unfair, the people of Anping did not do anything wrong.That was the person who had been taking care of him growing up, and that was the place where he had been living. The King Xian was so cruel that he couldn't bear it anymore.

When the news came, no one spoke, and everyone seemed preoccupied.That night, Han Lang tossed and turned in the simple thatched bed, he secretly made up his mind, got up to wake He Yijiu, and expressed his thoughts.

He Yijiu agreed without hesitation.

The two packed up their belongings and left the house.When I just walked outside the deserted village, I met three other people. The lanterns in their hands illuminated a small group of dim yellow ground. The five people looked at each other. Han Lang was the first to break the silence: "We decided to go back."

"So do we," Zhu Zhen said, and it was rare for him to utter a dirty word, "I don't care who is the emperor, but I still think that we can't take advantage of those bastards."

Ruan Ping patted his head and agreed, "That's exactly what I meant."

"Hmph, I just want to tear up that bastard King Xian, nothing else." He Yijiu sneered.

"If you can help them wipe out the traitors, you will definitely get a lot of benefits." Shen Minggui smiled leisurely, "Even if the situation is unexpected, it's not too late to turn against them."

Han Lang couldn't help kicking him, he dodged, but was slapped on the head by He Yijiu: "Hurry up and turn against me, I will be the first to attack you."

After all, they each smiled, and the smiles were the same as their thoughts, and what was buried deep in them was a firmness that had never been seen before.
