Looking at the friendly troops moving faster and faster in front of him, Xu Maogong's eyes suddenly narrowed into a thin line. "Ying Deng, when you went to the enemy camp, did you clarify that the reason why we came to the rescue was because we were entrusted by others?" He said calmly.
Face, he asked in a low voice. There seemed to be an invisible coldness in his words, which made people still want to shiver in the early summer.
"I made it very clear to them that the Wagang Army has no intention of becoming an enemy of the elites of Qi County." Xie Yingdeng thought for a while and answered very solemnly.
"So many of our brothers died for these bastards. It's really not worth it!" Shan Xiongxin spat heavily on the ground and cursed. Obviously, during the time spent with the friendly forces on the mountain, everyone had a deep relationship with each other.
The quarrel was not pleasant, so we went down the mountain together, but each had his own thoughts.
"Damn it, these guys have no fighting power at all, but they have the nerve to share our military rations!" Cheng Zhijie was also dissatisfied with the friendly forces and cursed, "Master Zhai is also confused, and he was persuaded by Li Mi.
, sent us all the way to rescue this inferior product!"
"I think that guy Li Mi has evil intentions! He is very pretentious when talking, but when he really works, he has no rules and regulations!" Xie Yingdeng didn't like Li Mi either, so he added angrily from the sidelines.
This time the Wagang Army ventured through Dongping and Lujun, and sneaked three hundred miles in the wilderness to reach Daishan to rescue the trapped people. It was all because the leader Zhai Rang was moved by Li Mi's sweet words. This guy deceived Yang Xuangan to death.
As expected, his big mouth and a few nonsense words about the general trend of the world made Zhai Rang regard him as his right-hand man. If Xu Maogong hadn't repeatedly stopped him, the Wagang Army would have almost spent all their money to march eastward this time. If that were true, everyone would probably
His fate may not be any better than that of Qi Guoyuan and others.
"If our Wagang Army wants to have a place in troubled times, we must show kindness to heroes from all over the world. On this point, our leader Zhai is not wrong. Besides, Li Min has a wide circle of friends. Recruiting him to join the army can indeed make it stronger.
Our prestige!" Xu Maogong shook his head and stopped everyone's complaints. This rescue mission was a loss-making business. After fighting with Qijun's elite that day, he had already discovered the final result. "What we need to consider now is how to keep our own people safe.
Take us out instead of complaining about the original decision. Qin Shubao and my good brother are not good friends. They said they would let us out, but they didn’t say they wouldn’t intercept and kill us on the road!"
All the generals were silent. They had already experienced the martial arts of Qin Shubao and Li Zhongjian. Several heroes on Wagang Mountain had always boasted that they had never met an opponent. After competing that day, they realized that the legendary Qin Shubao and Li Zhongjian were not wasteful.
They deserved their reputation. What is even more admirable is that the two acted ruthlessly and decisively. When they realized that the battlefield situation was not favorable for their side, they immediately retreated without any delay. In addition, between retreating and advancing, the Wagang Army was saddled with a
Big baggage.
"Old Xu, just tell me what to do. We are all brothers in life and death, don't go around in circles!" Cheng Zhijie said angrily after thinking about it but couldn't come up with a solid idea.
Xu Maogong turned his head and looked at Cheng Zhijie, and saw a knowing smile on his face. He knew that Cheng Zhijie was feeling bad again, so he smiled and ordered: "Let everyone slow down and keep distance from the people in front."
We need to be bigger. People want to get rid of us, so we can’t follow them shamelessly!"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed with a smile and went to restrain the brothers. Xu Maogong turned his head to Cheng Zhijie again, clasped his fists on the horse and said, "Brother Yaojin, Maogong has something to ask of me!"
The two were about the same age and had always had a close friendship. When he suddenly heard that Xu Maogong suddenly called him the same name as before Wagang Mountain, Cheng Zhijie was startled, grinned, and replied with a silly smile: "You want me to die again."
No, Lao Cheng won't do it. Swords have no eyes. Your sister-in-law just gave birth to a fat boy for me, and I haven't hugged him enough!"
"Brother Yaojin, you have to take action this time. Xiongxin has an injury on his leg, so I'm afraid he can't bear the responsibility. Others, including me, are no match for Qin Shubao in martial arts!" Xu Maogong looked around and explained anxiously.
"You don't want to fight with your brother. Don't worry, he will definitely find a way to avoid you now." Cheng Zhijie comforted him with a smile, as if there was nothing in the world that he didn't understand.
"Brother Yaojin makes sense, but I have to be just in case. If my prediction is good, there should be pursuers coming from behind soon. Brother Yaojin, please bring a group of brothers to explore their true and false identities, and then we can make a decision.
Next move!”
"Ouch, when did you become so cautious! Did Li really start learning the art of war from his mother's womb like you?" Cheng Yaojin asked in mock surprise when he saw Xu Maogong's solemn face.
"He only started formal martial arts training when he was fourteen. Brother Yaojin has fought against him, so he should know how good his martial arts is!" Xu Maogong replied worriedly without a trace of a smile on his face.
"This boy learns quickly! If this continues, in two years, I, Old Cheng, will have to avoid him when I see him!" Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and commented. "Forget it, Old Cheng will give you this job.
Touchstone. Fight however you want, just make arrangements."
"If there is an enemy chasing after you in a while, you should go in with all your strength. If you encounter Qin Shubao and his cavalry, stop fighting and quickly return to your formation. If you don't see Qin Shubao and his elite cavalry, keep fighting in.
Until you cut down the flag of the opponent's central military commander! I will support you behind you! I will never let you take risks alone!"
"Scare, this business is not easy to do!" Cheng Yaojin said shaking his head. Soon, he stopped arguing with Xu Maogong. In the distant sky, a brigade of birds flew by. Under the blue sky, there was an official of the brigade.
military.
"Come here, ask for help from the friendly forces in front!" Xu Maogong ordered loudly.
One after another, the fast horses ran out quickly. The soldiers on the horses raised their horns and spread the news of the attack to the distance.
The sound blown by this specially made horn horn is so penetrating that it can be heard clearly on the plains and five miles away. The messenger only needs to run out for half a stick of incense to arouse the attention of the far away friendly forces.
.
To their disappointment, the friendly forces ten miles away made no response. Not only that, after hearing the sound of the trumpet, they invariably accelerated their escape.
"The officers and soldiers really have no good intentions." When he heard that the latter was under attack, Qi Guoyuan thought gloatingly. The Wagang army came to rescue him, but this by no means means that Qi Guoyuan has the obligation to turn back and rescue the friendly troops. Everyone
I have been hungry in the mountains for many days. How can I have the strength to fight with the officers and soldiers without enough food? Besides, the Wagang army is very powerful in combat and may not need anyone to rescue them at all.
"That's right, who are the Wagang Army? If we go back to rescue them, wouldn't we cause trouble to others?" Lu Wei and Li Laoxiang beside him also agreed with this opinion. Out of a deep understanding of their own strength,
Everyone thinks that the first priority right now is to hurry up and leave the Daishan area. If the Wagang army can stop the officers and soldiers, they will naturally be able to escape safely. If even the Wagang army is defeated, everyone rushes over eagerly, isn't it a waste of death?
"But if something happens to Xu, we can no longer go to Wagang Village. Mr. Zhai is a famous protector of shortcomings. If he learns that we will not save him, he will definitely fall out with everyone." Qi Guoyuan
His eyes turned half a circle and hesitantly reminded him.
"We couldn't go to Wagang in the first place. Think about it, Lao Qi, how do our soldiers and horses compare with the Wagang army? We can find a hilltop by ourselves, where we can enjoy the popular food and drink spicy food for fun. Let's go.
Wagang Army, in terms of ranking in terms of strength, where should our position be?" Lu Wei had a "far-term" view and pointed out the disadvantages of defecting to Wagang Village.
"But we owe him a favor after all!" Qi Guoyuan continued to trick the other two leaders by pretending to be stupid. From the moment Xu Maogong led his troops into the mountain, he completely gave up the idea of going to Wagang Mountain to join the gang. It turned out that
He had a wishful thinking that with the more than 3,000 brothers in his hands, when he arrived on Wagang Mountain, his status would be lower than that of Zhai Rang at most. But the cruel reality told him that the three thousand brothers under his command had no way to fight against the Wagang Army.
Stand in one place. The Wagang Army has indeed not made any big noise in recent years. It is said that the entire mountain of soldiers and horses in one place is less than 20,000. However, out of the more than 10,000 brothers, there are 10,000 tigers. These three men under my command
A thousand brothers are three thousand sheep.
Qi Guoyuan thought that he was not qualified to lead a group of sheep to make friends with tigers. Therefore, his biggest wish at the moment was to find a suitable hilltop as soon as possible, and then make other plans after accumulating strength.
"It was Li Mi who asked them to come to the rescue, and we did not send people to ask the Wagang Army to come out. This favor is owed to Li Mi! The Wagang Army has nothing to do with us!" Li Laoxiang kicked his stirrup.
, while shouting. Under his crotch is a stallion that has lost its hair. Because of the noble status of the owner, it was not stewed by the brothers. However, the long-term lack of care made the animal seriously weak, but it was only a little
After speeding up a bit, he started panting loudly. His front legs were covered in sweat and lined with dirty fur, as if they were bleeding.
"That's right, what Mr. Li said makes sense. Where to go, brother, I can only follow Mr. Li's lead!" Qi Guoyuan stared at Li Laoxiang's mount and said. The horse under the opponent's crotch is a thoroughbred from the Western Regions, but it is a pity that it was
Li Laoxiang, a country bumpkin, has been ruined by this horse. When he leaves Lu County, he will immediately find a way to deceive him. If he is fed with fine feed for a period of time, he will definitely be able to cultivate a good horse.
"Hey, you, Master Qi, don't always make trouble with me. We can't save the Wagang Army, and I don't intend to surrender to Wagang Village. As for what others do, I never stop them. Daining is in front of me, pass by
Let's go our separate ways after leaving Dai Ning." Li Laoxiang was not stupid, and quickly sensed the sinister flavor in Qi Guoyuan's words, and responded with a curled lip.
"Lao Li, don't say that. Maybe we can meet again one day, right?" Qi Guoyuan's face was revealed, and his words became more and more unconfident. "I'm going to Juye, Dongping County.
Ze avoids the limelight, and there is water and fish there. It can also be regarded as a blessed place. Ever since the person named Pei fell, I haven't heard of anyone pulling the pole there! If you two don't mind it, feel free to come and sit down if you have time!
"
"Let's wait until you stand firm. If I hadn't saved you this time, the two of us wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation!" Lu Wei realized that he was the only fool, and he immediately became angry. "Your last name is
Qi, why don't you let us go to Li Mi to repay the favor? Let's make it clear that if we send troops to rescue you this time, we will lose all our money!"
"Where, where, we will be out of danger in a while. You two leaders can speak up. If you want money, you still need people. If you can afford it, I, surnamed Qi, will never frown!" Qi Guoyuan himself was beaten by Li Laoxiang and Lu
Feeling comfortable in the middle, Wei quickly patted his chest and agreed.
"Okay, after we pass Daining, we will settle the accounts openly as brothers!" Lu Wei pounded the bricks and nails in a menacing manner.
"Okay, after we pass Daining, Lao Qi will never owe you anything again!" Qi Guoyuan promised loudly. His eyes quickly swept over the minions around him, and he began to calculate the strength of the three cottages. Li Laoxiang still had one left under his command.
There are more than a thousand people. Lu Wei has slightly more brothers than Li Laoxiang, but only a thousand and a half. In terms of strength, Qi Guoyuan is still the largest among the three. "If there is a fight..." Qi Guoyuan bit his tongue.
Teeth, a smile on the face.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a bright spot in the distance. It was the color of sunlight shining on the blade of the blade. Qi Guoyuan was startled and widened his eyes desperately. This time, through the smoke and dust brought by the men and horses, he saw the dazzling light.
Countless sword lights leaped out of the village in front, rushing towards him like a torrent.
"Officers, officers!" Qi Guoyuan heard the minions around him shouting loudly. No one knew where the officers and soldiers came from, nor how many there were in them. The smoke and dust rushing toward him covered the sky.
On that day, what occasionally peeked out from the smoke and dust was a frost-like front.
Countless war horses, as tall as frost, came overwhelmingly. The whole ground was shaking, making people feel weak and their calves felt weak. (To be continued)
