"The third brother and the seventh brother have gone... My eldest brother and I can't lose anyone anymore... No one will forget about revenge! They will never die in vain! But - don't force it! Qingzhi, you
Do you understand?" The sixth brother Gu Ren's eyes were red at this time, and he was saying words to dissuade Chao Lian, but the veins in his hands holding Chao Lian's were bulging, and he used his whole life to suppress his hatred.
Chao Lian almost went crazy and said: "I don't understand!"
He raised his hand and shook off Brother Six's arm.
But when he saw Gu Ren's appearance, he stopped in place as he stepped forward, filled with hatred rushing through his chest. The unprecedented thoughts of killing made him want to abandon all reason and kill people. However, in the end, he could only vent his anger by roaring.
Hatred.
Using only a pair of fists, he smashed the stone wall into pieces.
“Ahhhhh——”
The howl of pain finally turned into a cry.
winter!
Chao Lian bent his knees and knelt in front of the corpses of his two surrogate brothers. He held his head and beat the ground, blaming himself until tears filled his eyes with blood. After an unknown amount of time, a pair of boots appeared in front of him. A hand pinched his shoulder.
, lift him up.
It turned out to be the eldest brother Gu Ren.
Chao Lian had never seen Gu Ren like this.
They have been brothers for so many years, and the eldest brother Gu Ren is like a brother and a father, caring about everyone's life matters in every detail. From quarrels and conflicts to as small as food, clothing, housing and transportation. Sometimes he is too strict, and even makes the third brother roll his eyes and complain.
complain.
Chao Lian was puzzled: [Isn’t this bad?]
The third brother smacked his mouth, pinched his naturally curly plush beard, and held his shoulder with one hand. The two brothers were like mice hiding from the eldest brother who was arresting people everywhere, and hid in the corner to drink wine secretly. The third brother was mysterious.
: [Oh, so you are still too young at Twelve, unmarried and have no mother-in-law, so I don’t understand.]
The question mark on Chao Lian's forehead: [What does this matter about eldest brother... have to do with getting married, starting a family, and having a mother-in-law...? 】
The third brother sighed and said: [When you marry your mother-in-law, your mother-in-law will also take care of what you eat and drink, and also worry about what you wear.]
Chao Lian fell into an eerie silence after hearing this.
The third brother said quietly: [Sometimes I wonder if I have a brother or if I invite a mother-in-law back. 】
Chao Lian suddenly shuddered.
Asked: [Why not invite a father back?]
After all, an elder brother is like a father.
The third brother smiled and said: [Have you ever seen a father who worries about trivial matters? How about being a father and having fun, but being a mother who worries about things?]
Chao Lian: [Then why not invite a mother back? 】
Although the eldest brother's appearance is not bad, he is very different from the beautiful girl. Just thinking about it will give me nightmares in the middle of the night.
The third brother took a sip of wine and said: [Why am I so short?]
It’s enough to be someone’s younger brother, but why should you act like someone else’s son?
The two brothers had just had a few sips of wine when a head peeked out from above the low wall behind them: [What did you two say?]
The head owner's face was full of evil.
【Pfft——Big brother!】X2
Gu Ren climbed over the wall with a dark face: [If I had a son as careless as you, I would have strangled him to death! Do you still dare to run? 】
The third brother's family was killed in Zheng Qiao's army massacre.
Without a father or a mother, without a wife or a son, he was alone and put his feelings on his other sworn brothers. In order to avenge his family, if he could say "We are idiots, we also have the heart to slay the dragon", he is here.
Zheng Qiao died, but he didn't have the opportunity to go to the grave and tell the good news of revenge in person. He didn't even have time to drink and celebrate...
Then he died in the aftermath.
Brother Seven went to snatch his body and was fatally injured.
"Brother--" Chao Lian was grabbed by Gu Ren with one hand, and faced the determination brewing in the latter's dark eyes. The elder brother, who had always had a kind face and eyes, was like a god of murder at this moment, and his tears rolled down unsatisfactorily.
, "It's my younger brother who is incompetent."
If he were stronger...
If you are stronger, you can at least save Seventh Brother.
To save the brother who looked evil but was very kind to them, instead of just watching him use his life's martial arts to protect his heart, hold on for a breath, and finally die in the arms of his elder brother. Even if the wound was more serious.
Some would be good too.
"Qingzhi."
Gu Ren put him down.
With Chao Lian's puzzled eyes, he patted his shoulder, his mood was frighteningly calm, and he whispered softly: "Take good care of your nieces and nephews in the future, and give your sister-in-law a message for your eldest brother. She is still young. Find someone who can understand her in the future."
A good home for Leng Zhire. I, Gu Ziyi, have never felt sorry for anyone in my life, except for neglecting her and allowing her to be ridiculed by the outside world."
Gu Ren and his third wife are almost a generation apart. From the time he was recruited by his mentor at the age of fifteen to now, he has married three wives.
The outside world criticized him for "restraining his wife" and marrying a dead wife. Some people also said that he was "hypocritical" and said that he relied on his dead wife to get promoted and make a fortune. Otherwise, with his background, would he still want to have the family fortune he has now? There are even some meddlers.
He said he would lose his wife in ten years.
When he was forty-five years old, he made a bet that this man would also suffer a bloody disaster. These rumors even spread to the inner courtyard and reached the ears of his wife and husband. The father and daughter came to comfort him. Frankly speaking, these numerology theories were nonsense.
talk...
Gu Ren felt guilty that he didn't have much time to spend with her.
Chao Lian felt uneasy in his heart.
Why does my eldest brother's words sound like Tuogu?
"Brother..."
Gu Ren said: "Just remember."
"Brother!"
Gu Ren continued: "I really want to go back to Shangnan, but Huang Xiguang cannot let us go. It is even more impossible for my brother to surrender to the enemy who killed him in order to survive! Therefore, at home,
I can only leave it to you. You are calm and sensible, and you have nothing to worry about as a brother. By the way, there is Thirteen... keep an eye on Thirteen, he is the only one like you."
Chao Lian suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He moved his shoulders to shake Gu Ren away.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden pain in that place.
In his sight, Gu Ren's expressionless face was instantly swallowed up by darkness, followed by the force of his whole body being forcibly taken away. His knees weakened and he fell forward, but Gu Ren caught him: "
Second brother, fourth brother, is the coffin ready?"
Lao San and Lao Qi had a rough life before death, so after their death they couldn't even get a coffin and bury them hastily in the soil.
"Brother, it's ready."
"That's good."
Gu Ren put the two corpses into a simple coffin. He held the coffin with one hand calmly and gently wiped the blood off their faces with his sleeve. After cleaning it, he and others put the coffin into the already dug coffin.
Good big hole, fill it.
He looked at the two new tombs, which were brand new and located next to each other.
One faces south and one faces north.
It seems that the two brothers are still back to back, protecting each other's blind spots, just like when they were alive. But in fact, they are still looking at the hometown where their blood relatives are buried, which they can no longer return to. Gu Ren poured wine in front of their graves
: "This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is quiet and undisturbed. In addition, the land is high up, so it is a good place to climb up and enjoy the scenery. Lao San Lao Qi, wait a moment, it won't be long before you and I can have another drink under the Yellow Spring.
Cup. This time, Brother Wei will no longer let you drink."
After saying that, Gu Ren smiled freely.
"After drinking, we will go to hell together!"
Behind him stood eight sworn brothers.
Except for the doctor Lao Liu who was in the rear, the eight people were more or less covered in blood, and someone’s flesh scraps could be found among the scales. After Gu Ren toasted, the other eight people also stepped forward with a calm face and said
After a while, the rain did not decrease but increased.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the sixth brother came forward.
"Brother, it's almost time."
Gu Ren looked back at everyone and sighed: "Why bother!"
The second brother laughed and patted Gu Ren's vest. It made a snapping sound. If Gu Ren hadn't been used to it, he would have been unable to stand still.
"What's it like to have no brothers?"
"Wherever brother is, I will go!"
"Let's go and look for bad luck on Huang Xiguang!"
"Fuck the eighteenth generation of Huang Xiguang's ancestors. Damn it, even if I can't kill him this time, I will disgust him to death! You and I brothers went back to kill the King of Hell, lifted the seat of the King of Hell, and let the eldest brother sit on it. Then Huang Xiguang was sent down.
, it will definitely scare him to death!"
"That's it, scare the shit out of him!"
Gu Ren frowned when he heard this: "Be more elegant."
The sixth brother, who had not spoken much, frowned and thought: "Shall we invite the eighteenth generation of Huang Xiguang's ancestors to spend a good night together?"
Gu Ren: "...forget it."
The scene was of his corpse turning into white bones, and he had to sit up and vomit every thirty to fifty years. It was disgusting.
The others laughed at Gu Ren's reaction.
"Lao Liu, you are still the best."
As expected of a doctor, he speaks well.
Gu Ren raised his hand angrily and hit the backs of the heads of the people who made the most noise. They laughed to death. They were neither light nor heavy. They were separated by pockets and couldn't break the defense at all. Gu Ren tore off the clothes on his shoulders with one hand.
He took off his raincoat, took off his bamboo hat, and raised his hand.
"Army, let's go!"
Didn't Huang Lie rely on his large number of people to trap them in the mountains, encircle them without attacking, and watch them in a playful manner waiting for death? Gu Ren just didn't do what he wanted: "Huang Xiguang, it's just a fool."
, How dare you talk about heroes in front of me!"
The army had been forced into the mountains for three days.
The consumed physical strength and martial energy have been replenished.
Even if Huang Lie's men outside spread the word that Gu Ren and others would be captured and surrendered the national seal to save their lives, but based on their understanding of Huang Lie's personality, they were afraid that this man would be named Sima in his last life. If the two sworn brothers did not die, Gu
Ren was willing to give it a try even though he knew he would be humiliated. As the eldest brother, he brought his adopted brothers alive, so he naturally had the obligation to bring them back alive and intact.
but now--
Only fight to the death!
Outside the mountain, the soldiers and horse scouts under Huang Lie's tent immediately noticed the situation inside. Gu Ren's soldiers and horses have been sorted out!
When this news reached Huang Lie's ears, he was stroking the shiny national seal, and his eyes lit up. At this time, Huang Lie no longer had any disguise, and his slightly ordinary face was filled with undisguised ambition.
He is completely different from the humble person he was before.
"Hmm? Gu Ziyi is coming out now?"
Huang Lie is not a broad-minded person. During the final battle between the coalition forces and Zheng Qiao's army, Gu Ren's unabashed hostility made him murderous. Of course, even if Gu Ziyi hadn't done that, Huang Lie would not have stayed.
Gu Ren. Because as long as Gu Ren is willing, he can win the favor of anyone. That kind of scribe's way is intolerable to any superior.
And Huang Lie himself relied on a huge base of desperate people to get where he is now. If Gu Ren is recruited, and Gu Ren's methods are used to trick those people and win their hearts and love, it will only be a matter of time.
Son.
How could Huang Lie allow him to live?
However, Huang Lie didn't want him to die easily.
This was also one of the main reasons why he forced Gu Ren's soldiers and horses into the mountains instead of rushing to attack. He wanted Gu Ren to be exhausted, run away with his head in his arms, betray his relatives in the hopeless situation of waiting for death, and finally die as a complete loser.
!
Huang Lie asked: "Did you send someone to negotiate for surrender?"
The messenger looked troubled and hesitated.
For a long while I couldn't explain why.
That was something he had never seen or heard in his life.
Huang Lie saw this and pushed the messenger away impatiently.
He mounted his war horse and marched to the front of the battle array.
When the vanguard troops and horses separated from both sides, there was no obstruction in front of his eyes. Finally - with his excellent eyesight, he could see Gu Ren's troops and horses clearly.
The densely packed soldiers and horses slowly pressed forward with an unshakable momentum. Countless morale gathered above the army's head. The morale clouds went from thin to thick, and then almost substantial. When the rain falling from the sky came into contact with them, they were forced to hang upside down.
Faintly gathering above the army were three pairs of giant long arms.
However, this was not enough to shock Huang Lie.
What really shocked Huang Lie was the continuous white color.
The three armies hung white flags and carried nine coffins.
When the morale of the three armies was fully formed, the overwhelming sense of oppression forced Huang Lie's soldiers and horses to riot. The horses kept neighing and reacted directly to the agitation, trying to throw off the cavalry who wanted to control the situation. The scope of the riot became wider and wider.
Huang Lie put down his hand in front of his eyes.
The facial muscles twitched violently, and his hands hung down by his sides, gradually tightening them and making crackling sounds, indicating the anger in his heart at the moment. Gu Ren's answer is in the nine coffins!
surrender?
Negotiate peace?
Surrender?
Huang Xiguang, you are dreaming!
clatter!
Gu Ren controlled the reins, and the horse stopped at the sound.
With a bang, two beams of light shot up into the sky from his and Huang Lie's bodies. The vast and heavy pressure pressed against each other with unmatched power. In an instant, the beams of light turned into two illusory dragon shadows. The two dragons were hostile to each other and whispered threats.
, the situation is tense.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Chao Lian fell into a long darkness.
When he regained consciousness again, he vaguely heard the sound of winter, winter, winter, and soon he heard some cracking noises.
Staring in confusion, he struggled to open his eyes.
Suddenly he saw a figure waving his fist at him.
There was a snap.
Katcha, Katcha.
The cracking sound is clearer.
"Brother Twelve, Brother Twelve... wake up..."
The figure swaying in front of me had an anxious look on his face.
A thought suddenly flashed through Chao Lian's chaotic mind -
This face really looks like Xiao Shisan.
No, this is Thirteen!
In an instant, Chao Lian regained consciousness, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and blurted out: "Thirteen, why are you here?"
He sat upright.
He happened to face Thirteen who was frightened and pale.
"Brother Twelve...Where are the people?"
Chao Lian subconsciously asked: "Who is it?"
"Brother, where are they... people?"
With a bang, a thunder exploded in Chao Lian's ears.
The scenes before he fell into coma appeared in his mind.
"Oops!"
He looked around and saw two new tombs standing not far away.
