"I once thought about taking Ran Qing away. It doesn't matter what Ming religion or common people he is, they have nothing to do with me. They are not people of the Song Dynasty anyway. When the Liao army really hits our border, we will fight to the death with them.
It's better than suffocating here. But looking at these young people, I really can't bear to stay out of it." Cao Rui said at the end, his eye circles were slightly red. When he looked at Zhao Changyuan, he also had a deeply touched expression. Because
He has also seen how these people strive to maintain it at all costs when their beliefs are challenged and broken.
Gong Yueyue was also very moved: "Uncle Cao, let's advance and retreat together!"
Suddenly, a small figure ran up to him, holding up a wine bag and said to him with a playful smile: "I found something good, do you think it's rare?"
He took the wine bag from Gong Yueyue's hand, glanced at the two sergeants intently, and walked towards the open sand.
Gong Yueyue followed him, and did not forget to whisper to comfort him: "Don't be so impatient. At this juncture, there can be no internal strife."
He stopped suddenly, turned around and asked her: "To be honest, do you think those people are stupid?"
She was at a loss for words. Before she could react, he smiled bitterly and continued: "That's right. I don't know why, so I just sprinkled my blood on the sand here. When the wind blows,
Nothing left!"
Gong Yueyue rarely saw such a depressed expression on the evil young man's face. She knew that this was not only because his master was in deep danger. It was also because, even though he had nothing to do with the Ming Cult in name, he could still
, those warriors fighting on the front line can be regarded as his true classmates. This sense of belonging may not be obvious in normal times, but when encountering a crisis, it will be carried forward by people's subconscious.
.
She walked to a dead tree and sat on the ground. Then she held a handful of sand in her hand and watched it slip from her fingers. A line from the movie appeared in her memory, and she murmured it out loud.
: "I am leaving this record in purgatory. I only hope that my family can forgive me for my decision at this moment, but I firmly believe that you will eventually understand my feelings. My dear people, I am so ruthless to you because the nation is at the end of its existence."
At this time, we can only risk our lives to save the situation. My body is about to perish, but my soul will be with you..." This line comes from the movie "The Wind".
When he looked up at Bad Young Master, a look of surprise flashed through his eyes, but then he turned to relief. With a faint smile, she continued calmly: "When I heard this sentence in the play, I burst into tears of excitement.
The face is full of tears. There is never a lack of faith in this world, but there is a shortage of people who dare to protect their faith at all costs. Therefore, I don’t think they are stupid. They have sacrificed everything for their dignity and faith. Although it is tragic, they are worthy of my admiration and respect."
The evil young man looked at her blankly all the time, but his calm face concealed the turbulent emotional changes. After hearing what she said, he stood thoughtfully for a few minutes, then suddenly dropped the wine bag and strode towards her.
Gong Yueyue was startled by his sudden move and quickly stood up from the ground in a panic: "What are you doing?" She didn't think what she said offended him?
The evil young man's footsteps suddenly stopped two or three steps in front of her. But his expression still made her puzzled, and his words were even more confusing: "In this world, I have relatives, brothers, and lovers, but I don't
I don’t know why, but I, Shi Zhao, feel hopelessly lonely.”
She swallowed nervously and took a few steps back, but bumped into a dead tree. "What... do you mean?"
"I Shi Zhao felt that I didn't belong to this world at all, and was out of tune with everyone... until I met you." He said it very seriously, without any sense of joking or joking in the past.
Gong Yueyue was really frightened and embarrassed. Her almond-shaped eyes widened and her eyebrows stood up as she shouted at him: "Don't mess around! My husband will kill you! Be careful, I'll tell Ruotong when I go back!"
"
Suddenly, he grinned: "How about... we become sworn brothers?"
"Huh?" She picked her ears, trying to understand what he meant.
"It doesn't matter if you want to be brother or sister." Although his smile was a bit lopsided, his tone and attitude were different from Zhao's seriousness. "To be honest, it's rare to meet a close friend in life. Don't get me wrong, I don't like short winter melons.
Interested in that aspect.”
After two seconds of silence, Gong Yueyue screamed fiercely: "Are you seeking death? Say one more thing! You are the short winter melon, and your whole family is short winter melon-" As these words blurted out, his mind
Each vivid image flashed before my eyes. Master Pan, who was at least 1.8 meters tall, followed by Pan Zhuqing, who was taller than Zhao Changyuan, and then Du Ruotong, who was half a head taller than Gong Yueyue...
A series of sad cries rang in her heart: "Hey, I was discriminated against by this guy. After all, I was also called the long-legged sister for many years... Yang Yiyi, you couldn't have eaten more beef when you were a child.
Drink some milk and do more exercise? Hey, hey, hey..."
"From now on, I become brother and sister with Pan Jingyuan. I will enjoy the blessings and he will take the responsibility for the hardships. No matter whether I am poor or in trouble, I will not abandon you. If I violate this oath, I will be struck by five thunders from heaven!"
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows triumphantly. The evil young man is a cheerful person who does not stick to formalities: "Okay, brother can tolerate it." Then he took out a pointed hidden weapon, grabbed her paw and released it.
I took a small mouthful the size of a sesame seed...
"Ah - it hurts -" she cried angrily. Although it didn't hurt, it was bleeding, right? How many eggs would it take to make up for it? Oh, he actually squeezed the blood into the bowl.
, what a waste...wait, don’t you want to drink it?!
"Fuck." He handed her a bowl dripping with their blood.
"Fuck~" She smiled bitterly, then pinched her nose and closed her eyes and drank it all in one gulp.
As soon as the fishy smell enters the throat, it spreads into the heart and lungs. It has to be said that although this feeling is not delicious, it has an indescribable warmth. Perhaps it is because, as the bad boy said, it is difficult to find a true friend in life.
After breaking the wine bowl, Gong Yueyue stretched out her hand and asked: "Is this how we become sworn brothers? As an elder brother, don't you even have a sworn marriage ceremony?"
The evil young man crossed his arms and asked with a smile: "What do you want?"
She thought for a moment: "Well...I can't think of it for the moment..."
"After passing this village, this shop will disappear."
"Except for my husband to live a fair and safe life and my children to grow up healthy and happy, I really don't want anything else."
The bad boy was deeply moved by the satisfaction and expectation on her face when she spoke. He immediately thought of his wife Du Ruotong in Cangzhou, and how she was holding back tears when he thought of parting. Suddenly there seemed to be a voice in his heart.
As long as his wife is alive and well and his children can be born and grow up healthily, he seems to have nothing else to ask for.
The sound of rustling footsteps disturbed the silence between the two of them. When they turned around, they saw several captured horse thieves looking at the two of them in surprise. "What are you doing sneakily?" the evil young man asked coldly.
"No...no..." The horse thieves don't understand Chinese, but just like almost every Chinese in the first century could say "NO"...
In the evening, Lu Ranqing and Lin Fan rushed to meet Zhao Changyuan and others outside Cao Rui's tent. Seeing that their master was still strong and strong, but his eyes looked slightly tired, the evil young man was finally relieved.
As soon as Zhao Changyuan told everyone about his countermeasures, he was immediately opposed by Lu Ranqing: "What? You want us to give up the main forum? That is absolutely impossible!"
Cao Rui said softly: "Ran Qing, actually what Zhao'er said makes sense. Firstly, we can't hold on. Secondly, there is no need to involve all the Mingjiao brothers."
He Yong's question was: "Did Mr. Cao have something that was caught by this bitch?"
Only Bad Shao was not in the mood to flirt with them at this time. "You can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood. Aunt Qing, why are you doing this?"
Lu Ranqing glanced to the side, as if she didn't intend to discuss it any further. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Lin Fan stood up and pulled the bad boy up, and waved to Gong Yueyue and He Yong: "Hey, you kids are ignorant, don't interrupt.
Get out, get out..." In the end, only Cao Rui was left, while Zhao Changyuan and Lu Ranqing were discussing in the tent.
After walking dozens of meters away from the tent, the evil young man asked Lin Fan in confusion: "Master, why don't you help to persuade me? Do you have to be buried here?"
Gong Yueyue also joined in: "That's right, I also think my husband-in-law is right. We can't hold on anyway, so it's better to retain our strength and fight again in the future..."
Lin Fan stopped, turned around and said with a worried look: "You guys don't know something now. Buried under this tower are the remains of all the previous leaders and guardians."
As soon as these words came out, Bad Shao and He Yong were at a loss for words, but Gong Yueyue still had a puzzled look on her face: "Then... how did you bury it, just ask it to come out. Is this... difficult?"
Lin Fan sighed and said, "It's not difficult. There is a secret room at the bottom of the tower. As long as you open a stone door, you can get the remains out."
Gong Yueyue suddenly realized: "The key is that the stone door cannot be opened."
Lin Fan couldn't help but admire: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this girl is really smart! She can tell with just one point!"
She shook her head in an airy manner, and the evil young man said with a smile: "Master, please stop praising her, she is quite proud of herself."
Lin Fan didn't want to joke too much, so he straightened his expression and said: "Getting back to the subject, the key to the stone door was taken away by a man named Gu. Now he has joined the Liao army, so if we really let this pagoda go,
I am afraid that the souls of our ancestors will never be able to rest in peace."
At this point, Pan, Gong, and He all fell silent. This was indeed an issue that could not be ignored. Needless to say, the deceased was a great person, and no one wanted to have their ancestral graves dug up by their old enemy.
In Cao Rui's crowded and shabby tent, Zhao Changyuan was still trying to persuade Lu Ranqing: "Aunt Qing, I understand your difficulties. But in fact, judging from the current situation, even if the last person is killed, we still can't defend.
